Proposed library
expansion leaves some
residents concerned

Emerald Place is a
Dementia & Alzheimer’s
Community, designed
for the comfort, security,
& dignity of our residents.
Margaret Tazioli
Freelance Reporter
As the Highland Park
library grows, its historic
space within the Gothic
masonry on the corner of
St. Johns and Laurel is becoming
less than optimal.
Highland Park Public
Library is not only a home
for books and movies,
it’s the community space
where people have gathered
to study Hebrew, collaborate
on school work,
learn to play canasta, practice
Spanish, hear David
Axelrod speak and watch
The Rope Warrior do his
thing. It’s also a space
where increasingly people
are learning 3D printing,
computer software and
other technological skills.
The ticker at the door
measures an average of
1,000 guests a day, many
of whom are participating
in these programs.
Yet the library’s only
tech training space is a
glass enclosed meeting
room that can fit a mere 4
people—5 at best. “A need
expressed by the community
is for a training
center,” library executive
director Jane Conway said.
And in the children’s
section, shelves are too
scrunched together for
a mom with a stroller to
comfortably browse, and
displays are not ideal for
young eyes and little hands
to rifle through the picture
books.
Children’s book covers
are works of art and
attract the children. “Our
kids can’t see any of that,”
youth services manager
Marcia Beach said. “This
is the only place we have
a face-out display,” she
references a shelf at chest
height. “Look how high
that is! Is a four year old
going to see that?”
The library is talking
about adding space so
children’s story time can
be hosted in a room next
to the youth department,
student groups could have
plenty of room to gather,
more community members
could participate in
film screenings and special
shows the library puts on
and extra programs such as
the community-led Spanish
speaking circle or the
canasta and mahjong lessons
don’t have to displace
those seeking a designated
quiet room in the library.
Yet, not everyone is in
support of the library expansion
project the city is
currently discussing because
the city is considering
it for more than just
library usage.
The senior center at 54
Laurel Ave. and the youth
center at 1830 Green Bay
Road have similar space
issues, and the city is considering
consolidating the
three to within the library
space.
It’s possible the needs
of all three places could be
accommodated in shared
space solutions—perhaps
uniting resources by relocating
the youth center
into the library’s youth
services department and
adjoining a senior center.
The senior center needs
a multi-purpose room, social
area, kitchen, classrooms
and medical loan
closet. While the youth
center needs a lounge area,
game room, kitchen, activities
room and study space.
Williams Architects are
currently under contract
to evaluate the existing
conditions and needs of
all three service centers
and prepare a report to be
presented this fall. Their
report will help create preliminary
drawings for the
possible expansion.
The city says other potential
locations for the senior
and youth programming
were considered but were
“ultimately deemed unfeasible
for varying reasons.”
When asked specifically
why choose the library as
this community hub instead
of, say, the recreation center,
city spokesperson Hayley
Garard said, “The inclusion
of the senior and youth
services is a way to better
serve residents of all ages in
a convenient, easy to access,
state of the art facility while
creating efficiencies and
strengthening resources,
programs, and services.”
She then pointed to a
general answer given on
the city website’s Q&A
that listed potential locations
but gave no explanation
for their inadequacy.
Some residents who
neighbor the library started
a Facebook group against
the proposed plan called
“HP Citizens Against Municipal
Structure at HP Library.”

HP harvest yields 1K pounds of honey
Xavier Ward, Editor
A low buzz can often be
heard emanating from the
Park District of Highland
Park’s Heller Nature Center.
That buzz is the sound
of happy, busy honey bees
hard at work for this year’s
honey harvest, which
yielded around 1,000
pounds of honey, Heller
Nature Center Manager
Jessica Reyes said.
“Some years our honey
tastes a little minty but
this year it’s very light,
it’s very sweet,” Reyes
said.
The crisp sweetness to
this year’s honey harvest
is the result of longer
blooms of basswood, asters
and locust tree flowers,
Reyes said.
The park district has
been harvesting honey
from its collection of hives
for more than 15 years,
she said. It keeps 20 hives
of bees – for reference, a
hive can contain between
10,000 and 60,000 bees.
While the park district
does not have one
employee dedicated to
beekeeping, all of its
naturalists take part in the
harvesting and maintaining
efforts, Reyes said.
One of those naturalists,
Meghan Meredith, had
her first go at harvesting
honey with the district this
year, and it was occurring
at the same time as the solar
eclipse, she said.
The eclipse, however,
didn’t seem to affect the
behavior of the bees, nor
anyone working to get
the harvest completed,
she said. Harvesting during
the eclipse was what
Meredith called a “duo of
excitement.”
“It’s kind of like a balancing
act,” Meredith
said.
District employees and
volunteers have to extract
the honey and ready it for
sale, while also prepping
the bees for the fall and
winter and make sure that
they have enough honey
to last the winter, she said.
Despite a busy couple
of days, it was still enjoyable,
Meredith said.
“It’s really just fun to
see all of the fruits of your
labor come to life,” she
said.
Meredith said that she
was somewhat familiar
with beekeeping practices,
but doesn’t have years
of experience, she said.
“I did a couple of beekeeping
things in a smaller
harvest during my internship,”
she said. “This
is kind of my first go.”
Beehives across the
country have had issues
with small bugs called
mites that infest hives,
but the hives at the park
district have avoided mite
problems for the most
part.
“Our hives did really
well this year despite lots
of other beekeepers having
problems with mites,”
Reyes said.
The locally harvested
honey goes on sale Friday,

THE WINNETKA CURRENT
Winnetka unveils
remodeled Dwyer Park for
patrons young and old
Following months of
local anticipation, families
gathered at the newly
designed Dwyer Park on
Aug. 24, celebrating the
changes that now make the
park a haven for everyone
from tiny tots to teens and
anyone in between.
According to Winnetka
Park District Board Commissioner
Teresa Claybrook,
Dwyer Park hadn’t
received a makeover since
1999, and the time had
come to bring it up to code
while making improvements
to attract a variety
of parkgoers.
“We were very interested
in gaining community
input, particularly the
preteen crowd, so we conducted
online surveys and
in-person forums,” Claybrook
said. “Based on the
information gathered, we
learned that the park appealed
mainly to the 6 and
under crowd, so we came
up with a plan to make the
park more appealing to a
broad range of ages.”
With Dwyer Park located
so close to District 36’s
middle school, The Skokie
School, students often
walk right by. Those behind
the park’s renovation
wanted to give middleschoolers
a reason to stop
instead, making for a local
hangout.
“We gathered at least
25 preteens to come test
equipment and give us
their thoughts and opinions,”
Claybrook explained.
“This information
was invaluable. I’m proud
to say we were able to accommodate
many of their
requests.”
Winnetka’s Quinn Larkin,
Nathan Cata, Charlie
Pardue and Bobby Bartell
were all part of the focus
groups. They collectively
gave the Board two
thumbs-up for permanently
adding a pingpong table
and Baggo beanbag toss
fixture, as well as including
some of the climbing
activities they suggested.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN
Glenview residents
continue two-year fight
for school district change
Homeowners in the “forgotten
corner” of Glenview
have banded together
in hopes of switching from
East Maine School District
63 and Maine Township
High School District 207
to Glenview Public School
District 34 and Northfield
Township High School
District 225.
The initiative, which
began nearly two years
ago in October 2015, argues
that the 62 Glenview
homes assigned to
D63 and D207 would be
better served in the Glenview
school system. The
respective homeowners
filed a joint petition for
detachment from Maine
Township schools and annexation
into Glenview
and Northfield schools,
arguing child safety, social
implications and quality of
education.
The petition was denied
in a unanimous 6-0 vote
on May 31 by the Joint
Boards of School Trustees
of Maine Township
and Northfield Township.
The six township trustees
reviewing the case did not
find just cause; D207 Director
of Communications

The group is concerned
about the potential increase
in traffic volume,
the demolition of homes
that have conceivably been
in the community since as
early as 1870 and the possible
negative impact of
blending the library with
Director of Student Affairs
Seth Oldham said.
“They’re the first smile
that students receive on
campus, they’re the reassuring
face that parents
last see as they leave their
child for the first time.”
Each orientation leader
is responsible for a group
of 12 to 15 students during
Crusader Days – the
university’s week-long
orientation for new students,
which includes
events, activities and more
other city services.
“We’re not opposed
to some kind of interior
remodel of the library
and upgrading,” library
neighbor Alan Handler
said. “We have a beautiful
library, it serves a very
important role in the community.
But to meld it with
these other two services
threatens to change it in a
way that I don’t think anybody
really understands or
anticipates.”
If a plan is to proceed,
construction would not begin
until 2020, according to
the city manager’s office.
Since the project is in preliminary
stages, there is not
yet an estimate for the cost
of the proposed building addition.
However, it is being
to integrate students to
UD. These student leaders
are specially selected
undergraduates who have
completed at least two academic
semesters at UD,
are currently in good academic
standing with the
university and are in good
standing with the Office of
Student Affairs.

A future intergovernmental

Bees
From Page 4
Sept. 1, at the Nature Center,
and the harvest usually
begins a few weeks
before that, Reyes said.
To start harvesting, a
foul-smelling bee deterrent
is rubbed on the top
of the bee box, the artificial
hive created for the
bees. This foul stench of
the material drives the
bees down to the bottom
of the hive.
Once the bees are sitting
on the bottom of the
hive, the honeycomb trays
can be removed from the
hive, Reyes said.
When these trays are
removed and the layer of
beeswax is removed from
the top of them, they are
placed into an extractor
and spun at a high rate
of speed until the honey
gathers in the bottom of
the vat, she said.
The honey is then transferred
to a large container
to rest overnight to allow
air and bubbles to escape
from the honey.
To complete all of this
work, the park district relies
on the help of volunteers
in cooperation with
the naturalists already
working for the district,
she said.
Together they bottle and
sell the honey.
It’s a popular item,
Reyes said. It often sells
out within a day or two.
The Park District will
have around 1,000 bottles
available.
For those who’d like
to get up-close and personal
with the bees, the
park district offers public
programs where attendees
adorn a beesuit and get
some hands-on beekeeping
experience.
The next program begins
on Sept. 10.

Learn something new: Library U classes begin in the fall
Submitted by the Highland
Park Public Library
This fall as kids head
back to school, adults can
learn something new, too.
Highland Park Public Library’s
fall semester of Library
U, the library’s continuing
education program,
will begin in September
and October. With classes
such as creative writing,
introduction to guitar and
mindfulness and gratitude
there are plenty of opportunities
to learn something
new or brush up on old
skills.
Library U’s multi-session
classes complement
the Library’s traditional
programs by providing an
in-depth learning enrichment
experience.
“We’re excited about the
lineup this semester. Along
with some perennial favorites
like canasta and memoir
writing, we’re also offering
some new classes such
as Python for greenhorns,”
said Jayme Oldham, the Library
U coordinator
Python, a computer programming
language, is
designed to be easy to understand
and fun to use. In
fact, its name comes from
Monty Python, the British
comedy group. “Python is
the perfect class for those
with little or no computer
programming experience.
We developed the class so
people can learn the basics
of a skill that’s in demand
today,” saidChad Clark, the
manager of the Library’s
New Media services.
Library U’s fall semester
also includes a new class
on self-publishing on Amazon.com.
The class is designed
for those who want
to gain the technical expertise
to publish their work
on Amazon.com. A complete
schedule of Library
U classes and instructor
biographies can be found at

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR
Solar eclipse attracts 12K
viewers to Glencoe
While families had their
options of places to watch
the memorable Aug.
21 solar eclipse, nearly
12,000 people chose to
celebrate at the Chicago
Botanic Garden, enjoying
an amazing work of
nature in one of the most
natural and serene environments
upon the North
Shore.
The Botanic Garden, in
partnership with the Adler
Planetarium, provided
more than 4,000 pairs of
NASA-approved solar
eclipse sunglasses, allowing
families to safely see
approximately 86 percent
of the sun disappear behind
the moon.
After nearly an hour
into the event, the glasses
were all dispersed and
the garden reached its
capacity. Parking lots
were full and no one else
could be let in, according
to spokeswoman Gloria
Ciaccio.
Harriet Resnick, Botanic
Garden’s vice president
of visitor experience and
business development,
said she was awestruck at
the opportunity to bring
so many people together
to witness an amazing
force of nature.
“The gardens are a
melting pot, where people
from all walks of life
unite to enjoy the peace
and beauty that nature
provides,” Resnick said.
“Knowing that we are able
to pull so many people together
today to see this
fabulous freak of nature,
reminds us all how amazing
our world truly is.”
Visitors set blankets and
chairs on the Esplanade,
waiting for the eclipse
to begin. Some had even
come before the gardens
opened, as early as 6 a.m.,
making sure to be the first
in line to grab a pair of
sunglasses. Around 11:54
a.m., the first gasps were
heard as despite the somewhat
cloudy day, folks began
to see the moon make
its way over the bright
sun.
Debbie Gorman, of
Barrington, came with her
4-year-old son Jack, eager
to inspire him with science.
“I hope that this oncein-a-lifetime
occurrence
helps scientists learn
more about our solar system,
and also teaches my
son about the magic of the
world around us,” Gorman
said. “He and I have
been talking a lot about
the eclipse and I think he
is very interested to see
the how the moon will
make the sun disappear
for a while.”

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
D28 discusses staff
guidelines for transgender,
non-binary gender
students
Although Northbrook
School District 28 does not
have a formally approved
policy encompassing administrative
procedures
for staff working with
transgender or non-binary
gender students, it does
have a list of guidelines.
Board members briefly
discussed the new guidelines
during the board’s
Tuesday, Aug. 22 meeting
at Meadowbrook School.
Because the drafted guidelines
are not being presented
as a formal policy, they
were not up for a vote by
the board.
Superintendent Larry
Hewitt said a few area
school districts have formal
policies in the works,
but that many other districts
have told him “they
don’t want right now any
kind of written policy or
procedures on this and
want to deal with it on a
case-by-case basis.”
A seven-page draft
document dated Aug. 18
lays out administrative
procedures for working
with transgender and nonbinary
gender students.
Hewitt said the draft document
was developed by
Northbrook District 27 in
conjunction with the law
firm Scariano, Himes and
Petrarca, Chtd.
“Northbrook School
District 28 strives to provide
a safe and supportive
environment that will help
students succeed academically
and socially,” a copy
of the draft obtained by
The Tower reads. “To that
end, the School District
promotes respect for all
people and will not tolerate
bullying, harassment
or discrimination.”
The scope of the guidelines
includes anything that
takes place in school, on
school property, at schoolsponsored
functions and
activities, and on school
buses and other vehicles.
The guidelines also encompass
the use of electronic
technology and electronic
communications on school
computers, networks, forums
and any other schoolsupported
platforms, according
to the document.

Highwood legal aid clinic stands
in support of Illinois TRUST Act
Submitted by The Highland
Park-Highwood Legal Aid
Clinic
Thanks to strong advocacy
from individuals, organizations
and elected officials across
the state, Governor Rauner recently
confirmed that he would
sign the Illinois TRUST Act on
Monday, Aug. 28.
The Highland Park-
Highwood Legal Aid Clinic
(HPHLAC) stands in support
of our immigrant community.
This law provides clear
guidelines for local police interaction
with federal immigration
enforcement agencies
in a manner that preserves the
Constitutional rights of local
residents and positions local
law enforcement to maintain
strong ties with the communities
that they serve.
Specifically, the act requires
that actionable detainers and
warrants be issued by a judge,
protects residents from being
stopped, searched or arrested
based on their immigration
or citizenship status and preserves
the ability of local law
enforcement to cooperate and
communicate with Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement
officials.
The Clinic appreciates that
the state of Illinois has taken
a stand to remain a safe and
welcoming community for everyone.
We are proud of our
already strong partnerships
with the Highland Park and
Highwood Police Department,
and value their support for all
members of our community.
Our communities are safer
when immigrants know they
can trust their local police officers.

Bringing in the forces
to fight cancer
Community raises
money to support
10-year-old boy
with cancer
Daniel I. Dorfman
Freelance Reporter
As Highland Park police
officer Travis Dragicevich
sized up the crowd that
came to support his son,
who has a rare form of
brain cancer, at Lake Forest
Sportscars Thursday,
Aug. 24, he found himself
practically speechless.
“You know you have a
lot of extended family but
it is amazing to see this
many people that I don’t
frankly know,” Travis
said. “It’s extremely overwhelming.”
What drew an estimated
1,100 people to Lake Forest
Sportscars, was a fundraiser
to support Glenview
Public Safety Dispatcher,
Melinda Dragicevich, and
Travis’ son, Landon, a
10-year-old who was diagnosed
with Anaplastic
Astrocytoma in late June.
Anaplastic Astrocytoma is
a rare type of brain cancer
and not only is the family
facing the difficult medical
situation, but also the
medical costs that come
with treatment.
With Landon’s dad being
a Highland Park Police
Officer, his mother a
Glenview Public Safety
Dispatcher and his stepgrandfather
a Lake Bluff
Fire Deputy Chief, law
enforcement personnel
from all over the area
joined forces to support
the family.
“Public safety is a
unique situation where
you are working with
these people at all times,
and sometimes you spend
more waking hours with
them (than your family),
so they become your family,”
said Kasey Dunn
Morgan, the chairwoman
of the Lake Forest Police
Foundation and one
of the event’s organizers.
“We all decided to get
together to raise funds
to alleviate some medical
costs and help them
create some incredible
memories.”
What had been originally
envisioned as a pancake
breakfast drew so much
interest that a larger event
was planned. With social
media serving as the catalyst,
Morgan said in just
three weeks 1,300 tickets
sold which would help
meet the $150,000 target.
“[The fundraiser] was
so overwhelming,” Melinda
said. “It was humbling
to see so many people
come together to support
Landon and our family.
People we didn’t even
know were showing up.
This event was planned
in such a short amount of
time yet it exceeded all of
my expectations. Overall
I am just so thankful and
grateful for everything.”
During the event Fool
House, a chicago-based
band, played live music
while attendees ate food
and participated in a raffle
where 143 items were given
away. The highest valued
prizes were awarded
at the end of the evening
in the form of a series of
high priced firearms then
followed by a Harley Davidson
motorcycle.
Amid the celebratory
atmosphere, there were
many thoughts about

a special send off
where law enforcement
dotted a portion of Waukegan
Road as he made his
way back to his father’s
home in Lake Bluff.
“I’m just happy that everyone
can come and my
family is going to be there
and hopefully some of my
friends can come,” Landon
said before the event.
His mother said Landon
is thankful to have support
from the community.
“Landon is happy and
excited to do things and
see everyone,” she said.
“He is overwhelmed with
the outpouring of love and
support and he is thankful
for everyone.”
The benefit capped what
has been a difficult few
months for Landon, who
seemingly was living the
normal life of a child until
March, when he started
experiencing seizures out
of nowhere.
His family reported he
was treated for the seizures,
and for nearly three
months there were no subsequent
problems until
the morning of Memorial
Day when his stepmother,
Becky Marsh, found him
in his room unable to talk.
After being admitted to
a local hospital, Landon
came home only to be
struck by a third set of
seizures in June. He was
airlifted to the Cleveland
Clinic in Cleveland,
which known for its pediatric
neurology department.
In late June at the
Cleveland Clinic Landon
and his family received
the diagnosis of Anaplastic
Astrocytoma, which is
described as a Grade III
tumor according to the
American Brain Tumor
Association.
Marsh said the tumor
has spread to the entire
left side of his brain, rendering
surgery impossible.
To fight the tumors,
Landon is taking oral chemotherapy
by taking five
pills every day and radiation
sessions took place
over the summer. He returned
to school and is on
a two week break from
oral chemotherapy.
The family senses a
positive attitude from
Landon, despite the overwhelming
situation.
“He is handling everything
very well,” Travis
said.
Travis acknowledged
some tough days these
past few weeks, but is not
downtrodden.
“Everybody is very
hopeful, but with the rarity
of the type of brain cancer
the prognosis is not
great, but with the way he
has been responding the
doctors are very hopeful,”
he said.
While the circumstances
that brought everyone
to the event were difficult,
there was a sense of determination
among many
at the benefit to support
Landon and their fellow
public safety colleagues.
“It is an amazing cause
to support a young boy
who has struggled quite a
bit,” said Aaron Towle, a
Lake Bluff Village Board
Trustee, who is also a
volunteer member of the
community’s fire department.
“It is a very eclectic
group of people. Of course
a cause like this generates
so much support and I am
so glad to see it.”
During a difficult time
the Dragicevich family
was thankful for the support
of the community.
“If this did not restore
your faith in humanity, I
am not sure what will,”
Melinda said.

High lead levels found
in Highland Park
submitted by the city of
highland park
While the water flowing
from the taps in the
homes of Highland Park
is deemed safe-to-drink
and lead-free, some of the
antiquated plumbing in
many of the area’s businesses
may not be able to
say the same, according to
a press release from the
City of Highland Park.
Some older buildings
may have elevated lead
levels due to old plumbing
fixtures or distribution
pipes or other materials
that come in contact with
potable water.
The city’s water production
and distribution
system meets or exceeds
state and national standards
and falls within
United States and Illinois
Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) levels for
safe use and consumption.
The EPA action level for
lead is 15 parts per billion,
at which point remedial
action is recommended.
Last month, City staff
collected 170 water samples
from city facilities,
including the Highland
Park Public Library.
Of 66 results received
thus far, one fixture located
at the library was
found to be unsatisfactory
according to EPA standards.
The specific fixture
not in compliance with
EPA standards is a sink,
which is not accessible
to the public, located in
the lower level tech services
area. The sink had a
lead concentration of 15.2
parts per billion.
The sink has been shut
down until the fixture is
replaced and tested to ensure
it meets or exceeds
safety standards. The testing
also revealed two additional
fountains in the Water
Treatment Plant pump
room that indicated a lead
concentration of 8.4 parts
per billion and 5.84 parts
per billion. Though these
results were within satisfactory
standards according
to the EPA, the city also
shut down both fountains
as a proactive measure.
The fixtures are being
repaired and will not
be available for use until
they are remediated. The
findings are isolated to
specific water dispensing
fixtures and are not systemic
problems with the
city’s water supply.
“Public safety is our
fundamental responsibility.
Lead exposure is a
serious threat to human
health, and children and
seniors are particularly at
risk. For these reasons,
I requested that all City
facilities be tested annually,”
Mayor Nancy Rotering
said.
Don’t just
list your
real estate
property...
“To date, test results indicate
the water is safe to
drink at city hall, the senior
center, and all other
water fixtures at the Library
and Water Treatment
Plant.” City Manager
Ghida Neukirch said.
“Protocols have been and
will remain in place to
ensure water delivered to
homes, public facilities
and business is safe. The
city continuously monitors
the safety of the water
leaving the city’s water
plant. Public health and
safety are critical priorities.”
There is currently no
federal or state law requiring
the testing of drinking
water in municipal
buildings, but testing is
the best way for organizations
to know if there are
elevated levels of lead in
the drinking water and to
quickly eliminate any potential
problems. To date,
the city has taken samples
from 170 fixtures and has
four remaining fixtures to
test. Lab results take approximately
five weeks to
complete. All results are
posted on the city website
at cityhpil.com/leadwatertesting,
where more information
can be found.

Let’s talk talking gas
pumps, which seem to be
popping up like bad pennies.
I hate the things. Not
only do I have to punch
buttons for debit card vs.
credit card and whether I
want a car wash (no!), I
also have to listen to the
incessant babble of automated
advertising bent on
ruining the simple task of
filling up a car. Blah blah
blah, the pump chirps as
the meter hits $5, $10, $15
and there I stand, agitated.
On principal I would not
buy a single product being
advertised – and I can’t
remember them anyway;
I remember a small gray
cloud of annoyance vaporizing
my brain.
During a recent fill-up
I thought these talking
pumps provided a quick
summary of what’s happened
in this country:
We’ve succumbed to the
drivel being spewed at
us from all directions.

of marketing decided he
could achieve a financial
goal by having a gas
pump invade our brains.
I have worked for a while
in (gulp) marketing,
which teems with people
intent on overriding other
people’s own judgment.
Many marketers use the
same meaningless buzzwords
or phrases: “Transform,
innovate, be agile,”
which are not special but
common. Meanwhile honesty
(not just in marketing)
is in short supply, or at least
honesty without a spin. I
wonder when plain and
simple uprightness became
too plain for consumption.
But then, when I look
around the countryside, I
don’t really wonder.
Street
A big harrumph to
whomever left two large,
broken pieces of furniture
by the edge of the road, not
next to any house but next
to a park down the street.
Someone took the trouble
to move them, then abandon
them at this exact spot,
I’d guess with the idea that
someone else would take
them home or otherwise
deal with them. People occasionally
do put out their
own discards – I’ve seen
bowls, baskets, a desk and
chair, a dresser -- and those
disappear fast. But since
when did a public park for
small children become a
dumping ground? I sure
hope a person with a repair
gene takes away this furniture
soon, before dogs pee
on it or rain comes.
Home
Life is full of annoyances
like inanimate objects
that talk and unwelcome
castaways. Closer to home
– in it, in fact – we have
ants. We usually experience
a kitchen invasion in
early spring, then a dispersal
to the great outdoors
in a few weeks. Not this
year. This year the ants
have stayed through heat
and humidity and powerful
storms. I imagine they
will be with us into fall.
I’ve been forced to
contain my sugar bowl
in the fridge and everything
remotely sweet in
my cupboard either in a
canister or a sealed plastic
bag. But still we have
ants. Other residents have
reported they have stubborn
ants too. I wonder if
climate change is a factor.
It’s certainly odd. If they
continue to live in our
house this winter, I’ll be
worried.
Speaking of ants, one
day I waited for my coffee
to brew and watched
a teaspoon-sized bunch
of ants teeming on my
kitchen counter. I wasn’t
quite awake and I began
to ruminate on ants and
their place in the American
landscape. The ants
toiled away at the task at
hand, in this case consuming
what they thought was
their good fortune (a drop
of honey, maybe?), while
not realizing that annihilation,
in the form of
my sponge, was about to
pounce. I wondered if in
some small way these ants
represented what America
has become – a culture
that merrily carries on,
oblivious to what’s hovering
and about to strike.
As I said, I hadn’t had
my coffee yet.

life skills. This is accomplished
through restaurant
training, counseling, mentoring,
tutoring, career

Several locations
are under consideration,

Embracing diversity builds a stronger community
Xavier Ward
xavier@hplandmark.com
Recently there’s
been a lot of racial
tension in the
United States. Considering
the number of
incidents of violence and
public demonstrations,
just saying that is an
understatement.
These incidents are
always tragic, but the
increasing frequency of
them almost makes one
numb to them.
Last week in Highland
Park, there was a peace
rally decrying the murder
of a young woman at a
protest in Charlottesville,
Virginia.
People gathered in the
parks, sang songs and
listened to what a number
of local leaders — political
or otherwise — had
to say about the people
of Highland Park and
Highwood. The gathering
demonstrated a strong,
resilient community that
does not cower in the face
of adversity.
Perusing through the
photos of that event
showed a diverse crowd,
there were too many photos
to publish them all,
but it was a nice showing
of solidarity, and is indicative
of how the community
comes together in
times of struggle.
While events like this
are generally only held in
a time of political strife,
every day happenings in a
community reveal its true
character. Every day life
of the community reveals
what was shown at the
peace rally: an openminded
and accepting
community.
The week following the
peace rally, there were a
number of events happening
in Highland Park and
Highwood.
Nashwood and the
Port Clinton Art Festival
were just a couple. Take
one quick look around
and you’ll see people of
all different ethnicities
chatting, eating a local
restaurants and vendors
and patronizing local
establishments.
At Nashwood, a number
of minority-owned
businesses took part and
created special dishes for
the event, the community
was out in full-swing.
In many windows,
you’ll see signs that state
“hate has no home here.”
It’s little things like this
that make a community
stronger. Whether it’s
larger community events
or just a small gather,
these things that make us
go out and interact with
our community help to
strengthen said community.
In my short time in
this community, I’ve met
people of all different
religious backgrounds.
Whether it is religious or
cultural, the community
seems to embrace difference
with a welcoming
smile.
Too often, communities
herald themselves
as open-minded places
where you’re free to practice
your life how you
wish, so long as it doesn’t
hurt anyone else. Though,
when met with adversity
what is preached is
often not practiced. That
doesn’t seem to be the
case in this community.
In such contentious
times, it’s important to
rally together and to face
issues head-on. This can
only be done through
conversation and getting
to know one another.
It’s important to
embrace the diversity of
one’s own community,
because communities
grow when everyone
is working to create a
welcoming and positive
environment for all.

Community according to

Curt’s Cafe satisfies this
challenge in a practical
and personally enriching
way. The community rally
was a cry against injustice
and bigotry, racism and
discrimination. A rally is
a starting point, a motivator,
an enunciation of our
values. If we do not graciously

our words are meaningless

at any level will be a form

Summer’s End Regatta makes a splash in Highland Park
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
The sun was shining, the
weather warm and it was a
perfect day for the North
Shore Yacht Club’s Summer’s
End Regatta Saturday-Sunday,
Aug. 26-27,
in Highland Park.
“Teams from about 25
boats were getting ready
to race for the coveted
Mayor’s Cup,” said Commodore
Alan Cohen, president
of the North Shore
Yacht Club. “This is a tradition
that has been going
on for decades. The club
dates back to at least the
1930s. Supposedly there
were manned rescue crafts
here on the lake as early as
1914.”
“Safety is our Number
One priority,” Cohen said.
“Before members can take
their boats on the lake,
they have to meet certain
safety requirements. They
include having the right
gear on board.”
The area was bustling
with activity but not everyone
was participating
in the race. Members of
kayaking and sailing classes
were there.
Young people stood
talking by a stack of standup
paddle boards.
Members of the Outrigger
Chicago Canoe club
came to practice for their
own race in Toronto in late
September.
“This place is not just
for the Yacht Club,” Cohen
said. “It has been said this
area is one of the best kept
secrets. The City of Highland
Park owns the entire
site. The Park District of
Highland Park owns the
building we use and patrols
the beaches.”
Cohen, a retired chemical
engineer, walked some
more, surveying the area.
“I retired about a year
ago and this is what I do
now,” he said. “I was in
the water from about age
5. At 18, I was a Red Cross
Water Safety Instructor.
This is my hobby and now
I have more time for it.”
Cohen is noticeably
proud of his club.
“We have 180 member
families, “ he said. “They
come from all over and
make use of it. Our yacht
club is nonprofit. Volunteers
do all the work and
help out in various ways.
No one is paid a salary.”
Just then a horn sounded.
A skippers meeting
was about to take place.
Maureen Hammond, the
Regatta Coordinator, and
John Palizza, Principal
Race Officer, started reading
the list of Regatta sailing
rules.
“Each gets a separate
start,” Hammond began.
“Every boat must have
a unique sailing number,”
stated Palizza. “The finish
boat has a flying blue
flag.”
The meeting ended and
Dave Mecklenburger and Patrick Perlman round a
corner in their boats. claire esker/22nd century media
Ronaldo Borger guides his boat into Lake Michigan.
the sailors started toward
their crafts.
Libertyville’s Kristin
Flentye was there to help
launch the boats with the
Outrigger Chicago Canoe
Club, she said.
There were rescue crafts
on the water if anyone ran
into trouble. The water
was rough and the wind
strong. Some did need
help, a broken rudder, an
overturned boat or two.
Laura Knapp was
among those who came
T H E F A L L
to the rescue of anyone in
trouble as did John Multack
who offered his boat
for the event.
The two-day event ended
Sunday afternoon with
plans already in the making
for next year’s Regatta.

Chris Pullam
Contributing Editor
Frank and Betsie Zadeh
have spent the past 33
years refining their craft on
the North Shore — and it
shows.
The couple opened Maison
de Patisserie, a “ladieswho-lunch-type
place,” in
Highland Park in 1984, but
made the move to Glencoe
in 1997 to accommodate an
ever-expanding list of ardent
customers. But Frank,
a Hiat-trained chef, and
Betsie, a New Trier graduate
and Winnetka native,
didn’t sacrifice quality for
quantity. The Glencoe location
seats only about 90
diners between the main
dining room and the outdoor
patio, and the low
lighting, white tablecloths
and floral centerpieces all
add to the restaurant’s intimacy.
But they did make a
few changes, including,
surprisingly, to the restaurant’s
name.
“Well, no one could pronounce
Maison de Patisserie,”
Betsie said. “They
always called it Frank
and Betsie’s anyway, so
we went with it. It’s a lot
easier.”
Frank and Betsie’s will
celebrate its 20th anniversary
on Green Bay Road
over the Labor Day weekend.
In order to survive so
many years in such a tough
business, the couple had
to embrace and overcome
multiple changes to the industry.
According to Betsie, the
restaurant has embraced
the latest trends toward
healthy eating.

“You go to a lot of these
places and it’s all fried
food and all bar food,”
Betsie said. “I’m really
surprised because people
eating food today are so
healthy and everyone
wants to watch their carbs,
but then you go to these
places and it’s packed and
everyone is eating such
unhealthy foods. But our
food is very, very healthy.
We structure things
around people’s diets. We
have a lot of people who
come here for food they
feel is more health conscious.”
Some diners have even
contributed to the menu.
For example, the Richie
B’s Salad ($10 for entree
salad, $6 for appetizer)
— lettuce with ripe tomatoes,
English cucumbers,
grated carrots, homemade
croutons and Romano
cheese tossed with homemade
balsamic vinaigrette
— originated when a returning
customer, named
Richie, made a special request
for his favorite type
of salad.
“Why don’t you call
it Richie B’s Salad?” he
asked. “You’d have a line
out the door.”
Betsie also added her
own masterpiece, called
My Wife’s Favorite Salad
($15 for entree salad, $11
for appetizer), which includes
lettuce tossed with
grilled lemon chicken,
sliced tomato wedges,
red bell peppers, English
cucumbers, artichoke
hearts, chopped pecans
and crumbled Feta cheese
with homemade balsamic
vinaigrette on the side.
The restaurant’s ability
to adapt and evolve, without
losing the key components
that allowed it to
thrive in the first place, has
endeared it to many people
in the community throughout
the past three decades.
Recently, Frank and
Betsie’s hosted a bridal
shower thanks to the recommendation
of a 30-year
customer who is friends
with the bride’s mom.
Other longtime supporters
have moved away from
the area, but still stop in
whenever they return to
the North Shore to see
friends and family.
“Every day is a new
adventure and every day
is fun,” Betsie said. “You
meet people. You feed
people. You see people
and their families over
and over again. We had a
woman from Arizona in
here the other day — she
and her husband used to
live here and whenever
they came in they had to
sit by the window. If they
couldn’t, they would say,
‘Oh, that’s okay. We’ll

starter served with a remoulade sauce.
be back later.’ But they
never made a reservation.
So when she came in recently,
I said, ‘Oh, good.
We have a window seat
for them.’”
Frank and Betsie’s reputation
has spread far and
wide.
Last month, a bus of
tourists from the Art Institute
of Chicago visited
the Keck + Keck houses
in the North Shore and
stopped at the restaurant,
effectively filling the entire
dining room. And in
October, 54 women from
Milwaukee plan to stop by
after exploring the Chicago
Botanic Garden. They
placed their reservation
last summer.
But while ambiance
and service can make or
break any restaurant, the
actual food always reins
supreme.
Frank and Betsie’s
lunch and dinner menus
are completely different.
While the lunch options
are centered around salads
and sandwiches, the dinner
menu focuses more on
entrees.
Lunch boasts choices
like the buffalo chicken
salad ($15), romaine lettuce
and California mixed
greens combined with
spicy buffalo chicken
strips, chopped celery, julienne
red peppers, shredded
carrots, crumbled
blue cheese, sliced avocado
and homemade creamy
blue cheese dressing; the
chicken Mexicana ($14),
a hot sandwich topped
with “south of the border”
spices, melted cheddar,
red onion and tomatoes;
and la costa chicken panini
($14), lemon chicken
breast seasoned with
rosemary, sage and thyme
complete with artichoke
hearts, homemade mayonnaise,
Dijon mustard
and Parmigiano-Reggiano
cheese on homemade sourdough
bread.
The dinner menu offers
a few more sophisticated
options, highlighted by
the steak au poivre ($31),
New York strip steak
served over portobello
mushroom and sprinkled
with crushed blue peppercorns
and homemade
burgundy reduction sauce;
the pomegranate chicken
($25), grilled marinated
chicken breast topped with
sweet and tart pomegranate
sauce enriched with
ground walnuts, caramelized
onions and a hint of
exotic saffron; and crab
cakes ($26), traditional
Chesapeake-style cakes
served with homemade,
spicy New Orleans-style
Remoulade sauce, capers
and lemon wedges.
When a group of 22nd
Century Media editors
and I stopped by Frank
and Betsie’s last week,
we sampled several items
from both menus.
We started with the pate,
a mixture of cooked liver
minced into a spreadable
paste with vegetables,
herbs and spices on the
side. According to The
Highland Park Editor
Xavier Ward, the dense
and flavorful spread expertly
complemented the
fresh-baked, homemade
French bread.
But before we even
cleared our plates, our entrees
— three of the restaurant’s
signature dishes
— arrived.
The Scottish lemon sole
($26), one of several fresh
fish options in the evening,
took center stage. The fillets
of pan-seared sole,
served with homemade
Vesuvio sauce, were light
and flaky, and the breading
and spices accentuated the
qualities of the fish.
Next, we tried the lamb
shank ($28), slow-roasted
with rosemary and fresh
garlic. According to the
menu, it’s a good idea to
order this dish in advance.
Finally, we gobbled
down the chicken schnitzel
($23), scalloped chicken
breast dipped in Panko
breadcrumbs served with
homemade Bordelaise
sauce and lemon wedges
on the side.
As for Betsie’s favorite
dish on the menu?
“How do you pick a
child?” she joked.

10 Questions
with Miranda Mottlowitz
Miranda Mottlowitz is
a senior outside hitter
on the Giants’ volleyball
team.
How did you start
playing volleyball?
My older sister started
playing, so I grew up
watching her. I knew that I
wanted to play volleyball
from when I was little.

What do you like
about it?
I love the energy on the
court. I love all my teammates.
The game is so fast
moving; I love it.
What’s the toughest
part about volleyball?
Everything on the court is
contagious. If one person
is down, the whole team
gets down. I think that’s
the toughest part to get
someone out of their
bad groove.
What’s your goal for
the season?
For our team to win
conference because I
know as a team we set
that goal. Everyone on the
team really wants to have
that win.
Do you have any
pregame rituals?
This year we all came
up with a ritual to dance
before games. We went in
the locker room and we
have a pregame song [to
dance to].
If you had a ticket to
go anywhere in the
world, where would
you go?
Bora Bora because they
have the hotels on the
ocean and it looks so nice.
If you won the lottery
tomorrow, what’s the
first thing you would
buy?
A pair of Christian
Louboutin shoes.
If you could have any
superpower, what
would you want it to
Erin Redmond/22nd Century Media
be?
I would want to fly.
Are you more of a cat
person or a dog person?
Definitely dog. I have
four dogs: two labs, a pug
and a lab-Bernese Mountain
Dog mix.
What’s the most fun
thing you did this
summer?
Me and my friends went
to Wisconsin and we spent
a week at a lake house.

real timid and some guys
are just not stepping up.
When they get frustrated,
they go away from the
game plan and then things
fall apart. It’s not enjoyable.”
Highland Park’s defense
helped deny seven shots
on goal, but a late blunder
put the game out of reach
for good. While Danneker
got one last touch on the
ball, the Giants essentially
knocked his shot into their
own goal to put the Scouts
up 4-1 in the 70th minute.
“Our three seniors in
the midfield — Jake Danneker,
Austin Pinderski and
Christophe Wettermann —
did a good job controlling
the game, kinda dominated
the game,” Scouts coach
Rob Perry said. “Jake has
probably been the best
player in both games and
he was finding people today,
being creative. Those
three guys are leading us
and Joey Williams and Jack
Page, they played well. It’s
a great group of seniors.
They’re leading and they’re
helping out our new guys.”
The Giants (1-3) opened
the season with a win over
Hoffman Estates on Aug.
21. Their struggles from
the LF match continued,
however, when they were
shutout 2-0 by Deerfield
in the seventh place match
Saturday, Aug. 26.
“I think our physicality
and our intensity [needs
work],” the HP coach said.
“We let them win every
header in the first 20 minutes,
it was a free win for
them and it just put us on
the defensive. We have
to win some 50/50 balls.
We need to take control
of things instead of letting
things get dictated

The Caxys opened with
a 2-1 win over Deerfield

Round Lake Aug. 24.
“[This tournament is]
great because I think all
eight teams are pretty
even,” Perry said. “… It’s
a real even eight teams,
so it’s a great test to find
out where you’re at. It’s
three games to find your
strengths and expose your
weaknesses. It’s a great
kick-off for the rest of the
season.”
Rank and file
Top teams in 22nd Century Media’s
coverage area
1. Loyola Academy
The Ramblers
dropped a heartbreaker
to Phillips, the
Chicago Public League’s
top team, Saturday night.
Loyola drove all the way
to the 1-yard line but was
stuffed at the goal line on
fourth down as the clock hit
zero. Quinn Boyle looked
sharp in his debut but LA
will need some of its players
to heal before Friday’s
game against Bishop Amat
of California.
2. New Trier
New Trier started
its season off
with a bang, shutting out
York 31-0. The Trevians
got stellar debuts from
Brian Sitzer and Reid Bianucci
as they helped earn
coach Brian Doll’s first
shutout as coach of his
alma mater. The Trevs go
on the road on game 2.
3. Glenbrook
North
The Spartans
opener was a little closer
than they had hoped, beating
Wheeling by five.
Looks like they might
have a nice one-two
punch in running back
Jimmy Karfis and wide
receiver Chris Heywood.
Heywood, a transfer from
Loyola, played well in his
first game for GBN, accounted
for all 13 of the
Spartans points with a
27-yard touchdown grab
from senior quarterback
Burke Morley and a pair
of field goals.
4. Lake Forest
The Scouts’
quarterback Jack
Mislinski earned his
starting role and led the
Lake Forest charge, hammering
Glenbard East
and leading his team to
28 unanswered points,
turning a 16-10 deficit to
a 38-16 lead, en route to a
win in the season opener.
Mislinski had 139 passing
yards, 124 rushing
yards and three touchdowns
for the Scouts.
5. Glenbrook
South
The Titans started
the season off on the
right foot, beating Urban
Prep-Englewood 42-0.
GBS’ the three-man running
crew of Ben Hides,
Jack Jerfita and sophomore
Andrew Gall led the
Titans to such a fast lead
that they were able to rest
all their starters in the second
half. The Scouts did
have some miscues, however,
including a fumble
Glenbard East captialized
on to jump out to a 16-10
lead late in the first half.
6. Highland Park
The Giants
dropped a close
game to one of the state’s
better programs, Libertyville.
HP may have
found its star this season
in tight end Tom Motzko,
who had three catches for
82 yards and two touchdowns.
John Sakos was
dynamic, too, going 13-
for-19 for 198 yards and
two touchdowns His only
blemish came in the final
seconds when he was intercepted.
The Giants go
on the road for their first
contest away from the
friendly confines of Wolters
Field when they travel
to Lakes.

22, the Giants knew what
they were up against.
The Wolves were coming
off a historic season
which saw its first ever trip
to state in program history
and ended with a fourthplace
finish in the tournament.
But even facing a
team with such an intimidating
reputation, Highland
Park battled, taking
Niles West to three sets,
before falling 26-24, 8-25,
24-26 at home.
“I think we played as a
team and we played well
as a team,” junior middle
blocker Ireland Hieb said.
“[Niles West] just went to
state last year, but we held
our own. We fought well
against them. I think if we
had more games and more
experience playing with
each other, we definitely
would’ve taken that one.”
The Giants jumped out
to a 6-1 lead in set 3, a rally
capped by one of three
aces senior outside hitter
Miranda Mottlowitz had in
the game. A block, kill and
a pair of couple Highland
Park errors let Niles West
back in it and narrowed
the Giants’ lead to three at
16-13.
Junior outside hitter Olivia
Carter helped Highland
Park stay ahead with
a couple of big kills, but
the Wolves clawed their
way back, capitalizing on
Giants’ errors. Niles West
strung together a pair of
kills, an ace and back-toback
blocks to take the
lead to put the game away
for good.
“We [need to] keep that
momentum on our side regardless
of errors and not
let that have a domino effect,”
Giants coach Beth
Peterson said. “If one girl
makes an error then the
next pass is shanked and
the next pass shanked.
We want to stop that so
that if one person makes a
bad pass, then next person
picks them up and does the
job and we can keep moving
forward.
“[We need to improve]
just being smart as hitters:
when we can hit, where we
can place it. Where are the
open spots on the court?
So making better choices
as hitters [is what we’ll
work on].”
The Giants hung tough
through a back-and-forth
first set which featured
eight ties. Mottlowitz
helped keep it close, patrolling
the net to tip the
ball over not once, but
twice to give Highland
Park its largest lead of the
set at 11-8.
Highland Park errors
helped Niles West stay in
the game, but late back-toback
aces from Mottlowitz
swung the momentum in
her team’s favor to give
it a 23-20 lead. The home
team then made the most
of the Wolves’ mistakes,
who overserved the ball
and committed an error,
to give the Giants the two
points they needed to close
out the set.
“I think we definitely
worked really hard as a
team together. It was nice
because it’s our first game.
We had a ton of attacks, we
were high on energy and
I think we played really

well as a team,” Mottlowitz
said. “... Energy is so important
on and off the court;
the bench players definitely
helped with that.”
Set 2 was a much different
story as Highland
Park just couldn’t find its
rhythm. The Giants’ slew
of errors led to a nine
straight points for Niles
West, which jumped out to
a 16-4 lead.
Highland Park tried to
stage a rally, scoring three
straight points to cut the
Wolves’ lead to 18-8 off
back-to-back kills from
Allyson Gordon and Mottlowitz
paired with a big
block by Hieb. But unfortunately
for the home
team, the errors continued
and that would be all the
offense it could muster up.
But despite the errors,
Peterson said she was impressed
with her team’s tenacity
and ability to hang
tough with a top-tier the

likes of Niles West.
“They were at state last
year, so for us to come
back and battle the way we
did, I’m really proud of the
girls. We had some serving
errors in the first game
and if we can reduce that,
I think that’s a different
game, it’s a different tempo,”
the Giants coach said.
“ ... Just staying consistent
and steady and keeping
up the intensity [is important].
I think if we can
do that throughout, this
might’ve been a different
result. They threw some
tough serves at us and we
didn’t pass the second set
and then you have to dig
out of that hole and that’s
never fun.”
Carter led Highland
Park with five kills, while
Mottlowitz had four and
three aces.

Trevians second, Giants third at NT Tennis Invite
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
New Trier and Highland
Park are no strangers to
playing one another.
After the Trevians and
Giants finished in a sixthplace
tie at the Class 2A
state tournament last year,
the teams placed second
and third, respectively, at
the New Trier Tennis Invite
Saturday, Aug. 26.
The Trevians fell 4-1 to
Stevenson in the championship
match.
“All the girls played
well, which was the most
important thing,” New
Trier coach Jerry Morse-
Karzen said. “This was
our first match of the year.
There was good competition.
We knew Stevenson
was the favorite to win
state this year. We went toe
to toe with them.
“We played well and all
the matches were really
very close. We were right
in there. As much as I’d
always like to win, I was
very pleased with how the
team played.”
Lake Forest defeated
Glenbrook South 4-1 in
the fifth place match. Glenbrook
North was eighth,
falling 3-2 to Barrington
in the seventh place match.
Loyola also competed,
winning the 13th place
match 4-1.
Stevenson’s Zoe Taylor
defeated New Trier senior
Amia Ross 6-4, 5-7, 10-6
in the No. 1 singles match.
In the No. 1 doubles
match, Stevenson’s Kate
Harvey and Elizabeth Ferdman
topped the Trevians
duo of Ali Benedetto and
Emily Dale, 6-4, 6-4.
“Amia played Zoe Taylor,
who is certainly one
of the top kids statewide,”
Morse-Korzen said. “She
went to a super breaker
with her and was knocking
at the door for a possible
win. So for Amia, that was
good stuff. Amia has been
very solid. [Ali and Emily]
played a good doubles
team. Kate Harvey is a former
state doubles champ
[in 2014]. [Ali and Emily]
lost a close doubles match.
If a few points had been
different, maybe Ali and
Emily could’ve ended up
winning that match.”
“Ali had a great season
last season at state,”
Morse-Karzen said. “She
had a tough draw. She had
two good players in the
first round and the second
round in the back draw
and she was out. It’s always
good to have done
something once. You get a
feel for it and you’re more
comfortable the next time
you come to it.”
Morse-Karzen has seen
Benedetto’s game improve
since last year’s freshman
season.
“She’s always been very
poised,” Morse-Karzen
said. “She still has that
same poise and she’s got
a little more power. She’s
bigger and she’s grown
three, four or five inches or
so. She’s got a little more
power. Her game is very
complete. She’s not one
dimensional. She can pop,
drive a top spin, slice, drop
shot and volley. She’s got
a nice overall game, which
is great to have and gives
you lots of options also.
Ali is getting better. She
was good last year and I
think she’s gotten better
since last year.”
The Giants defeated
Fremd for third place,
3-2. Highland Park junior
Lily Tiemeyer and sophomore
Halle Michael were
doubles partners for the
first time against Fremd
and won the No. 1 doubles
match against the Vikings,
7-5, 6-0.
“I thought it went really
well,” Tiemeyer said.
“It was a lot of fun. We
tried really hard. I’m really
happy. We all worked
really hard to get the win
against the other school.
I’m really happy that we
really helped in getting
that win too. I just feel really
happy to get third.”
And her partner agreed.
“It was our first time
playing together and I
think we did a good job
communicating and just
doing what we need to
do,” Michael said.
Tiemeyer and Michael
both competed at state last
year. Tiemeyer played singles
and Michael played
doubles with senior Devin
Davidson. Tiemeyer went
0-2 at state, while Michael
and Davidson bowed out
of the tournament in the
fourth round of the consolation
bracket. Although
Tiemeyer played singles
at state in 2016, she is
no stranger to playing
doubles. Tiemeyer played
with junior Monique Brual
in doubles at state in 2015
where the duo bowed out
of the tournament in the
fifth round of the consolation
bracket.
“It was my second time
going to state [in 2016],”
Tiemeyer said. “It was different.
My first year I was
playing doubles and my
second year I was playing
singles. It was a really
good experience to see
who’s out there and who’s
playing. It made me want
to work even harder in the
offseason and work on a
bunch of a different things
with my mental game and
my strokes and stuff.”
Michael feels the opportunity
to compete at state
last year as a freshman
was beneficial and she improved
her mental game in
the offseason.
“It was my first time
going to state and I think
it was a really cool experience
because there were
a lot of good players,”
Michael said. “It shows
me what’s out there and
what the competition is
and it just makes you want
to work harder and be the
best player I can be. My
mental game has probably
gotten a little stronger because
that hasn’t been my
best game. But working on
that during the offseason
has definitely helped for
this season so far. Even
at state, it’s hard to have
a strong mental game the
whole entire time, so that
was something I definitely
wanted to work on and I
think I improved.”
It’s nearly two months
until Highland Park has
the opportunity to compete
at state again from Oct. 19-
21. Even so, the Giants are
looking to improve upon
last year’s sixth place finish
and are aiming for Top
3 this year.
“[Coach Steve] Rudman
says the goal for the
team is to get around third
place,” Tiemeyer said.
“My goal would be helping
and winning and getting
really good and playing
good people and being
competitive with them.”
“My goal is just playing
the best that I can so that
when it comes to the time
for sectionals or state I’m
ready all-around mentally
and physically just to do
what I need to do,” Michael
said.

Giants hope mix of
returners, newbies
add up to success
Erin Redmond
Sports Editor
Last season, the Giants’
senior-heavy squad helped
them succeed at conference
and beyond.
A second-place finish at
conference, a solid showing
at regionals and sectional
berth equated to a
solid season for Highland
Park. But, as it happens
every year, those seniors
have all started on new
paths.
That isn’t a concern to
Highland Park, however,
which is returning three of
its top seven runners from
last season, all of whom
were All-Conference runners.
Sophomores Stephanie
Kriss — who was also
All-State in the 800-meter
run during the track and
field season — and Jillian
Butler, along with senior
Kaitlyn Twadell will lead
the charge for the Giants
this year. And while
this year’s team is much
younger, coach Andy Butler
said they have experience
competing at a high
level, making it all the way
to the sectional meet as a
team. Now, Butler will
look to them to use their
knowledge and experience
to lead their new teammates.
But it’s not just the returners
who have Butler
feeling optimistic. While
it’s still early on — Highland
Park competes in its
first meet at 4:45 p.m.today,
Aug. 24, at Half Day Forest
Preserve — some newly-minted
varsity runners
are already emerging from
the pack, including Nataly
Lacky, Rachel Hsu, Gabby
Michaels Julianna Charlebois-Berg.
And that’s a credit to the
work they and their teammates
put in over the summer.
“I was really happy, we
had a good turnout for
summer running,” Butler
said. “We sent a group of
six to Great Lakes Cross
Country camp in Michigan
and we sent a couple
to the University of Wisconsin
running camp and
of course we had all our
all-high school camp. Really
we were looking to,
in that offseason, increase
mileage.
“... Our whole team isn’t
ready to go, which is the
nature of the sport because
we typically get a lot of
newcomers — especially
freshmen and sophomores.
But after summer running,
our senior girls are ready
to get a race under their
belt.”
In addition to his three
returners, Butler said he is
hopeful some of the newcomers
will step up and
help the squad reach its
goals.
“One of our goals is always
to maximize everyone’s
individual potential
because the team becomes
better,” Butler said. “I
think as a team, our goal
is always to win conference.
We want to get as
many athletes as we can
All-Conference. We want
to qualify as a team to
sectionals again and then
we’d like to get some individuals
to the state meet.”

Giants get early, fun test at the
Lake Forest Scout Relays meet
Highland Park
seventh, LF ninth
at meet
David Jaffe
Freelance Reporter
The many swimmers
and teams competing in the
Lake Forest Scout Relays
Saturday, Aug. 26, believe
it’s a very fun way to begin
the season with several
different relay events they
won’t otherwise compete
in during the season.
Highland Park was seventh
with several strong
performances and was well
suited for the 400 individual
medley where everyone
swims every medley event.
The Giants relay of Sarah
Fishbein, Selin Sonmez,
Hannah Wander and Abby
Smith was second (4:25.25).
“We have a lot of good
IM’ers and that showed
in this event,” Smith said.
“All four of us did a good
job at being effective on every
stroke. I’ve been training
every day in the offseason.
I feel more prepared
and I think everyone on
our team is ready to have a
strong season.”
Hannah Wander was also
part of the winning 200
breaststroke relay with Sonmez,
Fishbein and Rachel
Wander (2:13.50). The Scout
Relays are exactly the type
of meet she enjoys.
“I love relays and the
breaststroke is my event
which I get to do in a few
relays here,” Wander said.
“It makes it really fun. I
think this also builds team
camraderie which is what
you want in the first meet
of the season.”
Smith was also second in
the junior 100 free (55.72).
Glenbrook South swimmer
Kate Solem has now
participated in the Scout
Relays three years and continues
to enjoy it.
“It’s a really nice way
to start the season,” Solem
said. “There’s a lot of energy
among everyone here
and the crowd is cheering
really loud. It’s always
one of my favorite meets
because there are a lot of
unique events.”
One was the 800-yard
freestyle combo relay where
someone from each class
swims a leg of the relay. Although
Solem is a distance
swimmer, it’s still not an
easy event. But she, along
with Emsela Orucevic,
Alexis Kachkin and Bella
Del Muro, finished second
in 8 minutes, 17.16 seconds.
“The 800 is definitely
one of the more challenging
events,” Solem said. “It’s a
hard event physically and
an even harder one mentally.
But we were all in it
together and did a good job
pushing ourselves. That’s
what helped us do well.”
The Titans were fourth at
the 13 team meet with 342
points. Kachkin won the
sophomore 50 free (24.59),
while Orucevic (26.51) and
Catherine Devine (25.15)
were second in the freshman
and junior 50.
Glenbrook South took
third in the 500 free crescendo
relay with Catherine
Devine, Kachkin, Orucevic
and Solem (4:51.74) and
the 200 free relay with Erin
Nitahara, Nikki Dontcheva,
Chloe Konrad and Devine
(1:45.78).
Glenbrook North’s Natalie
Horwitz has been competing
in relays with teammates
Tiffany Qiao and
Ellen Gilbert for the last
few years. And she loves
closing out a meet in the
400 free. These three, along
with Maggie Li, finished
third in 3:46.51.
“The 400 relay is my favorite
event,” Horwitz said.
“The past three years I’ve
competed with Ellen and
Tiffany. We do that every
meet. We don’t have Sabrina
[Baxamusa] anymore but
know we can rely on each
other. And I love the feeling
of beating out the team in the
lane next to you.”
Qiao took third in the senior
100 free (55.74) as did
the same four in the 200
butterfly relay (1:49.81).
GBN was eighth (224).
Lake Forest coach Carolyn
Grevers believes this is
the perfect way to start the
season.
“This is a fun meet but it’s
also meant to be challenging,”
Grevers said. “It helps
bring the team together and
it’s been a great way to get
the season going since we
started it four years ago.
Kendra Joachim won the
[sophomore] 100 (55.67)
and she was outstanding.
Our IM relay got third [Ashley
Updike, Joachim, Miki
Boveri, Catherine Terkildsen,
4:26.77].”
Although the Scouts are
young, they are about as
ready to begin a season as
Grevers has seen from her
teams.
“I haven’t had a team
with this type of energy
in my 15 years of coaching
here,” Grevers said.
“They’re a young team but
they’re pushing and doing
everything for each other.”
Updike was second in the
sophomore 50 (25.46). The
Scouts were ninth (185).

Giants fight to finish in loss to ‘Cats
HP’s last minute drive
falls short
Erin Redmond
Sports Editor
With less than two minutes
remaining in the game, Tom
Motzko strapped on his helmet
and went to work.
With two touchdowns already
under his belt, the junior tight
end was the ideal target when
Highland Park quarterback John
Sakos reeled back for a Hail
Mary pass. Motzko was waiting
— 40 yards downfield — when
Sakos’ pass sailed perfectly into
his hands.
A Libertyville penalty put the
Giants in the redzone, but a sack
and interception of Sakos put
the game out of reach. Highland
Park dropped the season opener
27-14 to the Wildcats Friday,
Aug. 25, at home.
“I was just trying to do my
job along with everyone else,”
Motzko said. “The wide receivers,
we got to do ours so the
play can work. It didn’t come
out as we expected, but we did
our hardest. That’s all we could
do.”
Despite the outcome, Motzko
still had a stellar night. He
had three catches for 82 yards
and two touchdowns. He was
one of several Giants to play
both sides of the ball, notably
Ryan Brincks and Jack Finfer,
who each had a sack in the
game.
The Giants’ defense was
tested by Libertyville’s Brendan
Bazar. The speedy Wildcat
accounted for two of his
team’s scores, bursting free for
a 58-yard touchdown run just
over two minutes into the game
and another 44-yard scamper
early in the second quarter. He
amassed 212 yards on 24 carries
for Libertyville.
“That’s a good team we came
out against. We played as hard
as we could. We just have to improve
for next week,” Brincks
said. “[We tried to] just hit
[Bazar] low; he’s a big guy.
He ran hard. [We tried to] just
get as many guys on him as
we can.”
Libertyville QB Alex Stanulis
gave Highland Park (0-1)
fits, too, going 17-for-21 for
128 yards. He helped put his
team ahead 24-7 after scoring
on an 18-yard run and converting
the 2-point conversion
pass with 3:20 left in the third
quarter.
And while the Giants’ defense
had their hands full with
Bazar, coach Joe Horeni credited
it for keeping Libertyville
out of the endzone. Highland
Park forced Libertyville to settle
for a field goal not once, but
twice, in both the first and final
quarters.
“Our kids played a lot of football
— Tommy [Motzko], Ryan
[Brincks], Noah [Spitz], Justin
[Goodman], Kevin [Kaufman],
Jack [Finfer], MoMo [Noah
Morgensten] — I think we had
seven or eight guys play football
for us one-and-a-half or two
ways.
“... I thought in the red zone
our guys actually did a pretty
good job defensively to hold
them to field goals and field
goal attempts. I’m just proud of
our guys. This is not what they
want; they’re as mad as us. I
think playing Libertyville was
a good choice for us and I look
forward to next week.”
Offensively, Sakos went 13-
for-19 for 198 yards and two
touchdowns. Giancarlo Volpentesta
had six catches for 116
yards. Brincks led the attack on
the ground with five carries for
43 yards.
Both Brincks and Motzko
agreed the Giants need to dedicate
time to looking at film
before their 7:15 p.m. contest
at Lakes (1-0) on Sept. 1. And
with that, Horeni is confident

opener Friday, Aug. 25, at Wolters Field. photos by Neil Ament/22nd Century Media
his team will be able to create
more scoring opportunities.
“I think we need more positive
plays and can’t have any
negative plays in terms of holding
and things like that,” the
Highland Park coach said. “I
think we need to continue to
work on our perfection. I’m certainly
really proud of my kids
and the way they fought.”

Lake Forest struck early and often
in its 4-1 win over Highland
Park Thursday, Aug. 24, at home.
The victory was imperative for
the Scouts, who opened their tournament
— the North Shore Shootout
— with a 3-1 loss to Dundee-
Crown on Aug. 22.
And Lake Forest wasted no
time getting to work.
Senior midfielder Christophe
Wettermann struck twice within
the first eight minutes. His first
was an easy tap in from in front of
the net in the fourth minute. Wettermann
found the net again just
moments later on the second of
two early penalty kicks the Scouts
were awarded.
“I thought we played well
through the middle,” Wettermann
said. “It helped build up on the
wings and that’s how our first goal
came. … We did well, our big guys
used their bodies like Alan [Cecherz],
he used his body to score
a goal as well. I just feel like we
used our bodies and played well.”
Wettermann and fellow senior
midfielderss, Jake Danneker and
Austin Pinderski, helped control
the tempo of the game and maintain
the 2-0 lead at the half.
The Scouts had a chance to pad
the lead before the break, however,
when Alex White fed Alan Cecherz
a pass right in front of the Giants’
net, but it was scooped up almost
immediately by goalie Roi Lavi.
Cecherz was able to find the
back of the net in the second half,
scoring 51st minute off a pass from
Pinderski to put Lake Forest up
3-0.
The goal seemed to energize
the Giants, who answered almost
immediately. Senior forward Jeyson
Vasquez sent a rocket past the
hands of John Walsh — who took
