Rep. Scott Drury declares AG bid 

Xavier Ward, Editor 

The Illinois race for 

governor will have one 

less democratic competitor 

as State District 58 

Rep. Scott Drury, D–Highwood, 

has announced his 

candidacy for attorney 

general instead. 

This comes after State 

Attorney General Lisa Madigan 

announced Sept. 15 

she would not seek reelection 

in 2018. She has been 

the state’s attorney general 

since 2003. 

“Almost immediately 

upon hearing the news that 

Lisa Madigan would not 

be running for re-election, 

my phone began buzzing,” 

Drury said at a press conference 

in downtown Chicago 

Tuesday, Sept. 19. 

“People were asking me 

if I would consider running, 

they said to me that 

they hoped I would run, 

and they said, almost universally, 

that what Illinois 

needs is an attorney general 

who is fiercely independent. 

An attorney general 

who has experience 

as a prosecutor, someone 

who they know is going 

to stand up against that 

state’s most powerful interests. 

I agree.” 

Drury commended Madigan 

on representing the 

state on social issues, but 

said the Office of Attorney 

General lacked in prosecuting 

government crime, 

fraud and corruption. 

“The office can and really 

must do more,” Drury 

said. 

Drury appeared to question 

the timing of Madigan’s 

announcement. 

Madigan had only last 

month asked for Democratic 

support in the state. 

She did not give a reason 

as to why she is not running 

again, but said she 

does not plan to run for 

Drury stands in front of a room of reporters and 

cameras to annouce his candidacy for Illinois Attorney 

General. The Highwood native announced he would 

run for attorney general shortly after standing Attorney 

General Lisa Madigan announced she would not seek a 

fifth term. Xavier Ward/22ND CENTURY MEDIA 

mayor of Chicago, as was 

speculated. 

“They probably didn’t 

anticipate this when they 

came up with this plan in a 

dark room months or years 

ago, that Drury would already 

be in a statewide 

race,” he said.“Whether 

you want to call it a fix, 

whether you want to say 

it’s rigged, whatever term 

you want to use, the reality 

is the powers that be made 

a decision that they want 

to have a chosen person in 

there and they don’t want 

to have a big primary.” 

Drury said he heard 

months ago Madigan was 

going to run again, but 

now that September is 

here, she’s no longer going 

running and some 

issued press releases declaring 

their candidacy 

suspiciously soon after her 

announcement. 

Drury, an adjunct professor 

of law at Northwestern 

University and 

former federal prosecutor, 

has been fiercely critical of 

Madigan’s stepfather Michael, 

state speaker of the 

House, previously comparing 

him to the fictional 

character Voldemort from 

the Harry Potter series. 

He referenced Harry 

Potter again when announcing 

his run for attorney 

general, saying it was 

as if he’d been chosen by 

the “Sorting Hat”. 

“This is the right position 

for me, I think everyone 

in the state of Illinois 

knows that, if they don’t 

know that they certainly 

will in time,” Drury said. 

“When I’m attorney general, 

no one and I mean no 

one, will be above or beyond 

the law.” 

Drury said that he would 

run an evidence-based office, 

going where the evidence 

leads whether it’s 

the Governor’s Office or 

the state assembly. 

Drury also noted that he 

was in a unique position 

to run for attorney general 

given Madigan’s surprise 

announcement because 

he was already running a 

statewide campaign. 

“This position is the position 

that will allow us 

to implement the changes 

we’ve been fighting for 

years without being shackled 

down by a dysfunctional 

general assembly 

and a governor a speaker 

of the house who can’t get 

along,” Drury said.

Heller Nature Center Family Campfire delights both young and old 

Hilary Anderson 

Freelance Reporter 

Who wants to play squirrel? 

Naturalist Meghan Meredith 

asked a group of 

youngsters who accompanied 

their parents and 

grandparents to the Park 

District of Highland Park’s 

Heller Nature Center’s 

Family Campfire event the 

evening of Friday, Sept. 22. 

Squirrel was one of the 

games naturalists Meredith 

and Ryan Zike played with 

the group of children to 

teach them about the season 

of Fall and some of the 

changes that come with it. 

“What are these things 

on the ground?” Meredith 

asked again. 

“Acorns,” said Camille 

Bryant, 9. 

“And what do the squirrels 

do with the acorns,” 

Zike asked the children. 

“They take and store 

them for the winter,” said 

Brandon Delman, 8. 

The games continued 

much to the youngsters’ 

delight, all with the idea 

of learning about what 

happens in nature with 

the coming of Fall.“Who 

wants to volunteer to be a 

fox?,” Meredith asked the 

young crowd again. 

“I do, I do,” Hannah Schultz, 

5, and Avery Ingram, 4, 

chimed in unison. Schultz 

was there with her brother,

her sister, Lacey, 2. 

The adults enjoyed the 

evening as much as the 

youngsters did. 

“We love the Heller Nature 

Center and try to come 

to as many programs as 

they have especially for the 

young people,” said Carolyn 

Bennett, who attended 

with her husband Tim and 

their daughter, Christina, 2. 

“I like to come here and 

just walk the trails,” said 

Pam Bengier, “We moved 

to the area last February 

from Florida to be near our 

grandchildren.” 

It was time for the group 

to go on a hike. 

Naturalist Meredith led 

the group while Naturalist 

Zike walked in the back to 

make sure everyone stayed 

together.

“We are going to do two 

things on this hike,” stated 

Meredith. “One is to look 

for color. The other is to 

listen for sounds.” 

The group walked a short 

distance past some colorful 

prairie flowers.“Today is 

what we call the Autumnal 

Equinox when there 

is almost an equal amount 

of dark and light outside,” 

Zike said. “Daylight is getting 

shorter now.”A discussion 

started about what 

happens when leaves fall to 

the ground.

and Glenview. 

Northfield hasn’t yet 

opted out of the ordinances, 

but like its neighbors, 

it has the authority to opt 

out if it so desires. 

Thus, the Northfield 

Village Board held a public 

comment session on 

the ordinances at its Tuesday, 

Sept. 19 meeting. 

The sick leave ordinance 

mandates employees 

who work at least 80 

hours in a 120-day period 

accrue an hour of paid sick 

leave for every 40 hours 

worked up to a maximum 

of 40 hours per year. Minimum 

wage in Illinois is 

currently $8.25 an hour, 

but the County ordinance 

set the minimum wage at 

$10 an hour starting July 

1, with the wage going up 

$1 each year until July 1, 

2020, when it will reach 

$13. 

“I really don’t have an 

issue with the minimum 

wage because I’ve never 

paid any employee that 

I’ve ever had minimum 

wage,” said Lucy Callahan, 

owner of Peachtree 

Place. “I find that we really 

probably couldn’t 

get help in this area if we 

only paid minimum wage. 

My concern is sick leave 

for the inconvenience it’s 

going to provide for us in 

keeping track of it.”

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Task force tests response 

to possibility of new ice 

center 

The Citizen Task Force 

that is exploring facility 

options for addressing the 

capital needs problems 

confronting the Glenview 

Park District will send an 

explanatory letter to registered 

voters on Friday, 

Sept. 29, after holding its 

second meeting on Sept. 

19. 

The primary concern is 

the 44-year-old Glenview 

Community Ice Center. 

According to the findings 

of the task force, it 

is a very old and poorquality 

facility that has no 

prime-time ice available, 

no ability to provide new 

programming and no ability 

to generate additional 

revenue. It is also unable 

to meet the demand for 

more programming. 

The task force believes 

it is urgent to resolve 

these issues because costs 

keep going up, the equipment 

and facility continue 

to age and become more 

costly to operate, and 

there are compliance and 

accessibility problems. 

Also, the task force considers 

it important to leverage 

low interest rates 

and build or replace at 

current costs. 

Two concepts were considered: 

putting a new facility 

with two and a half 

ice sheets on the existing 

site or renovating the existing 

main rink and adding 

one and a half new 

sheets and associated support 

spaces. Both would 

phase construction in order 

to allow the main rink 

to operate as long as possible 

during construction.

Highwood through history 

Submitted by the 

highwood historical 

society 

Did you know? Highwood 

was founded by 

William W. Everts in 

1868. Highwood will be 

celebrating the 150th anniversary 

of this memorable 

event in the coming 

year. 

Did you know? Legend 

has it that Thomas Curley 

suggested the name High 

Woods because the land 

was the highest ground 

between Chicago and 

Milwaukee and heavily 

forested. It later was written 

as Highwood on all 

documents. 

Did you know? Highwood 

changed its name 

to Village of Fort Sheridan 

in 1888 and later 

in 1904 changed back 

to Highwood primarily

“That is called marcescence,”

Writing Life 

Fall brings out the best in us, usually 

Wendy S. Anderson 

Contributing Columnist 

I 

fall right into fall, my 

favorite time of year, 

albeit that my leastfavorite 

season soon follows. 

Fall affects people 

differently. Some begin 

dropping into their sad 

time as the days shorten 

and cool; many become 

invigorated by the painted 

majesty of the season. I 

contain both feelings. Fall 

is when I feel most alive 

– indeed, it’s when I was 

born – yet it’s also when 

both my parents began 

their descent, mom dying 

from complications of diabetes, 

Dad after a series of 

strokes. It was a hard few 

months. 

Perhaps emotional 

conflict is why fall makes 

me hungrier, both on an 

inner level and literally. 

I crave good books, 

compelling movies, and 

solitariness. I also crave 

substantial meals and 

enjoy making and sharing 

them. I take brisk jaunts 

with my dog, Louie, who 

trots more robustly when 

the weather cools. I might 

visit nearby parks, Sunset 

being a favorite. The 

lakefront takes on a quiet 

luster. Preserves like Ryerson 

Woods and Heller 

Nature Center beckon, 

and I think more often 

about a snapping fire and 

warm brandy. 

My thoughts seem 

clearer in fall, or at least 

I’m more philosophical, 

more attuned to “small 

things” that are life’s best 

pleasures. An example is 

the tiny library I happily 

came across on St. Johns 

Avenue one morning 

as I walked to the train. 

A sticker on this mini 

“house of books” indicates 

it’s from a group 

called Little Free Library, 

a nonprofit that “inspires 

a love of reading, builds 

community, and sparks 

creativity by fostering 

neighborhood book 

exchanges around the 

world.” Selections ranged 

from the words of Ian 

McEwan to those of 

Danielle Steel to a variety 

of children’s books. Take 

a book; leave one. What a 

lovely concept. 

Just up the road, Ravinia 

Coffee Station offers 

a haven for early morning 

commuters. One recent 

day two regulars were 

debating the safety of the 

rerouted bike trail across 

the street, which skirts 

along the eastern edge 

of a busy parking lot’s 

entryway. One patron 

argued the new configuration 

was more dangerous 

than the previous one, 

when bikers and pedestrians 

went straight through 

the lot. Another disagreed. 

Conversation ceased with 

the signal of an approaching 

train. 

Camaraderie comes 

out in fall. One unusually 

warm evening my 

husband I walked to get 

gelato and found downtown 

Highland Park to be 

bustling. Families, school 

friends, couples, singles, 

dogs – it seemed everyone 

was out and about, 

presenting our community 

as a lovely, lively place 

to be. People waved or 

shouted hellos, or just 

took comfort in the quiet 

observation of the scene. 

A woman walking a 

handsome, large dog and 

an adorable smaller one 

stopped to chat with some 

teenagers she knew. She 

immediately cleaned up 

when her dog embarrassed 

her by doing his business 

on the busy sidewalk. 

I wished everyone 

was so inclined to be 

so thoughtful. Alas, not 

everyone is. 

The other day I caught a 

woman in the act of walking 

away after her large 

dog relieved itself on the 

(also busy) sidewalk by 

my house. She was pretty 

dressed-up for dog walking, 

even carrying a purse. 

It took her awhile to notice 

her dog had done its 

business, she was so busy 

playing with her phone. 

When she did notice, she 

looked annoyed. Then 

she looked back down 

the sidewalk, then ahead 

down the sidewalk, before 

she began to move. 

She was sure surprised 

when I approached from 

her left and chirped: “Do 

you need a bag?” She 

stopped abruptly and 

informed me she had a 

bag, thank you, in her 

purse. She took her time 

digging it out and using it, 

then glared in my general 

direction before she 

marched off. My guess is, 

“irritated” is part of her 

look. 

Which brings me back 

to the annoying people 

among us even when the 

days grow more autumnally 

beautiful: those who 

don’t clean up after their 

pets. Clean up! And by 

that I don’t mean, leave 

a plastic bag of poo in 

the bushes by someone 

else’s property. Two full 

dog-poo bags appeared 

recently in bushes by 

a nearby house that is 

empty and for sale. And 

don’t toss them into the 

ravine. On a recent walk, 

I counted five distinctive 

poo-bags in one ravine, 

which does detract a bit 

from the magnificence. 

My question for the 

tossers (an appropriate 

British term; look it up): 

What makes this nasty 

behavior of yours OK? 

REMODELING 

letter to the editor 

HP Country Club sale 

I have lost a lot of 

sleep thinking about 

the closing of the Highland 

Park Country Club/ 

Golf Course, and thinking 

about the manipulation 

to that end by the 

Park District of Highland 

Park. 

I have tried to focus 

on the intent of the city 

council of Highland 

Park in 1996, at the time 

the intergovernmental 

lease agreement was created 

between the City of 

Highland Park and the 

Park District of Highland 

Park. I believe that the 

city wanted to have the 

Highland Park Park District 

operate the Highland 

Park Country Club/Golf 

Course for 99 years and 

pay rent to the city, which 

would benefit the residents 

and taxpayers of 

Highland Park. The City 

also provided protection 

in the lease agreement 

that if in spite of the best 

efforts by the park district, 

the park district operations 

became fiscally 

unreasonable and that in 

order to save taxpayer 

dollars, the park district 

could request permission 

from the City of HP to 

close the HPCC golf operations. 

This permission 

was not sought and not 

given. 

In my opinion, the 

Park District boldly initiated 

a plan for the 

country club that was 

contrary to the intent of 

the lease. The Park District’s 

intent was to drive 

down HPCC business by 

announcing that they 

would not take banquet 

reservations after 2016, 

then moved that date to 

2017, and again moved 

that date to 2018 (banquets 

are 48% of total revenue 

and the most profitable 

part of the operation). 

These actions are without 

the authority and without 

the permission of the city 

council. 

These actions are a

It’s the time of year 

when everything 

moves invariably 

quickly. Now that the fall 

solstice has come and 

passed, we might as well 

press fast forward to 2018, 

because that’s probably 

what it will feel like by the 

time we get there. 

Rosh Hashanah, Yom 

Kippur, Halloween, Thanksgiving, 

Hanukkah, Christmas 

and there are probably a 

few missing here. 

While the spirit of these 

holidays is often different 

from the consumerist commercialization, 

there’s still 

the aspect of gift giving 

with a lot of them.

direct attack on the HP 

taxpayers and the intentional 

destruction of 

a valuable community 

asset. 

If the City of Highland 

Park had leased the 

country club to any operator 

other than the park 

district and that tenant 

operated as has the park 

district, the City, in its 

exercise of due diligence, 

would have (and should 

have) terminated the lease 

and sued for damages on 

behalf of the taxpaying 

public. 

In my opinion, with 

Gift-giving is great, it 

shows people you care 

enough think about them 

in such a busy time. 

Most cultures and religions 

have a time of year 

or holiday where you give 

gifts. Those gifts have to 

come from somewhere, 

and your choice of where 

they come from can really 

make a difference in the 

local community. 

Sure, things such as popular 

video games or movies 

may not be available at local 

retailers (or perhaps they 

are!) but other, more crafty 

boutique gifts found at local 

establishments not only support 

local businesses but are 

often more thoughtful gifts. 

When you support a 

local business, you’re not 

helping a executive get a 

third home or car. Not that 

there’s anything wrong 

with finding commercial 

success and financial 

prosperity, but what you do 

by supporting local businesses 

is you help a family 

put food on the table. You 

help someone pay their 

reasonable thought, plans, 

and attention, the Highland 

Park Country Club could 

be profitable in a reasonable 

amount of time, but 

not with the Park District 

leasing it. 

Terminating the lease 

with the park district will 

financially benefit all taxpayers 

in Highland Park, 

will preserve a valuable 

community and area asset 

and will be the right thing 

to do.

mortgage through practicing 

their craft. Maybe, by 

extension, you also help 

a kid or two get their own 

holiday gifts. 

Entrepreneurs have a 

tough go, especially with the 

business-barring regulations 

the state puts in place. Often 

entrepreneurs are novelties 

in their own communities 

rather than a staple, which is 

really a shame. 

Most people are guilty 

of it. Why support a local 

coffee shop when there’s 

a large coffee chain and 

retailer on every corner? 

That sense of familiarity 

and consistency is comforting 

and you almost always 

know what you’re getting. 

However, that sense 

of familiarity and confidence 

in the product will 

likely be found at a local 

establishment, too, you just 

have to look for it. 

If you’d like to find a 

way to support local businesses 

for the holidays but 

don’t know where to start, 

here are a few tips: 

If you don’t plan on 

go figure 

58 

The 

making your whole 

holiday meal from scratch 

(which there is no shame 

in doing), consider going 

to a local establishment for 

your needs. Look to a local 

baker bread or other such 

items. If you’re the carnivorous 

type, go to a local 

butcher for your meats. 

Not only will you support 

a local business, but the 

butcher may be able to 

give you suggestions for 

a tastier cut. Looking for 

beer? Try a local brewery. 

No matter how you swing 

it, local businesses benefit 

everyone by stimulating the 

local economy and hopefully 

driving job growth. 

Unfortunately, big box 

stores are often able to 

undercut the prices of local 

establishments, but often 

the quality of the product 

suffers as well. 

If you can’t afford to frequent 

local retailers, that’s 

okay. If you can, however, 

both that business and the 

local economy will likely 

appreciate your contribution.

Art show touts affordable, artisan crafts 

Hilary Anderson 


Hold a craft fair and 

they will come. 

They did for the Highwood 

Starving Artists 

Show held last weekend, 

Sept. 23-24 along Green 

Bay Road in Highwood, 

despite the heat. 

More than 100 juried 

artists displayed original 

works—everything from 

paintings, jewelry, glass, 

ceramics, clothing and 

other wearable art—all 

under $100. While some 

came to showcase new 

items, other artists were 

there to sell the remainder 

of their inventory. 

Friends Joyce Brodsky, 

Lincolnwood, and Ruth 

Anne Field, Skokie, call 

themselves craft fair aficionados. 

“We always go to craft 

fairs during the summer,” 

Brodsky said. “We find 

lovely things that we could 

not get elsewhere.” 

This weekend the duo 

were return customers to 

see what crafter Cindy 

Cummings might have for 

them. 

They were not disappointed. 

Each found a 

jacket. One white, the other 

black. 

Cummings designs and 

sews her own clothes. 

“I grew up on a farm and 

had to learn how to sew,” 

Cummings said. “I am a 

stay-at-home mom and 

just set-up my own website, 

Cindy Bella Designs.” 

Highland Park’s Sonia 

Geffen stopped dead in her 

tracks in front of a booth, 

Dana Reed Designs, with 

its display of unique jewelry. 

“I like jewelry,” she 

stated. “I do not need any 

more pictures or paintings 

for my walls. There is no 

more room left on them. 

But she could not resist 

a pair of earrings and a 

necklace. 

Glenview’s Melissa 

Gluskin saw a couple possibilities 

that would fit 

over her kitchen door. But 

one especially caught her 

eye. 

“I really like this one,” 

Gluskin said. “I like its 

texture.” 

Carol Lewis drove in 

from Hobart, Indiana to attend 

the Highwood Starving 

Artists Show. 

“I wanted to see what 

painter Rosemary Wilhelm 

had on display,” she said. 

“I love her work. It took 

me about an hour and 15 

minutes to drive here.” 

Lewis was one of Wilhelm’s 

repeat customers 

and did not go home empty-handed. 

She left with 

a small painting of a blue 

Hydrangea. 

Chicago’s Robbie and 

Gail Robinson showed a 

lThe one booth at the fair 

that parents especially appreciated 

was the Draw for 

the Troops one. 

Kids of all ages were invited 

to color a special picture 

or write a message for

serving in the U.S. military 

forces. At the end of 

the show, messages were

Highwood’s Kimberly 

Gonzales, 4, was carefully 

using the markers and 

drawing within the lines of 

her pictures. Her brother 

Owen, 1, was more carefree 

how he used his markers. 

“This is great because it 

gives the children something 

to do instead of being 

dragged around the 

craft fair,” said mom, Itzel 

Gonzales. 

They were at the event 

with their aunt, Ana Gutierrez. 

There even was a Graffiti

could write. Many did.

Community, tradition front and center at The Left Bank 

Martin Carlino 

Contributing Editor 

In the restaurant industry, 

change is often inevitable. 

But, for more than 

50 years, Lake Forest’s 

The Left Bank has stood 

the test of time. 

Since 1966, The Left 

Bank has been dishing out 

its classic — all-American, 

feel-good comfort food — 

for the same price. 

After taking ownership 

of the restaurant in October 

2015, longtime Lake 

Bluff resident Randy 

Earls knew that preserving 

the storied history of 

The Left Bank for residents 

just like himself was 

a top priority. 

“I’ve been eating here 

since 1970,” Earls said. 

“My goal is to keep it open 

and keep making a chili 

cheese dog that I ate when 

I was 7 years old. ... This 

is a little niche hole in the 

wall that is cool for what it 

is. That’s what we want to 

keep it.” 

Classic Americana decor 

hangs on the walls that 

are painted with the same 

vibrant, green coloring. 

The original menu board 

still hangs in the upperleft-hand 

corner of the restaurant. 

One of the restaurant’s 

most intricate spots, a back 

room tucked behind the 

small kitchen area, is one 

of the only spaces that has 

experienced minor change. 

“You use to have to get 

invited to go in the back 

room,” Earls said. 

The room remains 

largely unchanged, as the 

same quirky memorabilia, 

instruments and countless 

pictures still fill the space, 

which is now open to everyone. 

Earls enjoys the weekly 

encounters with other 

longtime residents and 

customers who grew up 

cherishing The Left Bank 

just like he did. 

“For me, it’s one of the 

neatest parts,” Earls said. 

“The community is what 

made this place and that’s 

what will keep it going.” 

Earls has continued to 

build on that cherished 

relationship by keeping 

the restaurant active in the 

community. 

22nd Century Media 

staff visited The Left Bank 

to try some of the classic 

recipes that have kept residents 

coming back since 

the 1960s, as well as a 

couple of newer additions 

to the menu. 

We dove right in, starting 

with The Left Bank’s 

signature menu item: the 

Not-So-Sloppy Joe. 

To prepare the fan-favorite 

dish, a fresh, specially 

crisped and steamed kaiser 

roll is cut open and generously 

filled with a secret, 

50-year-old chili recipe, 

which was passed down to 

Earls when he took over. 

Onions, a flavorful cheese 

sauce and two pickles typically 

complete the meal 

for diners. For $5.99, the 

hearty serving is plenty to 

please nearly any diner’s 

appetite. 

Next up was the chili 

cheese dog ($3.99), another 

dish utilizing the signature 

Not-So-Sloppy Joe. 

Earls shared that the 

chili cheese dog is a hit 

whenever he takes the hot 

dog cart to community 

events.

If you’re looking for a 

more traditional, Chicagostyle 

dog, The Left Bank 

still has you covered. 

One of the newer items 

on the menu, the Vienna 

beef hot dog ($3.29), is 

loaded with all the classics 

of any Chicago dog. Mustard, 

relish, tomatoes, sport 

peppers and two sliced 

pickles topped with The 

Left Bank’s take on a Chicago-style 

hot dog. True 

to Chicago tradition, it is 

served with chips, not fries,

remain from The Left Bank’s previous owners. Erin

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Jose Reyes 

Jose Reyes is a varsity crosscountry 

runner for Highland 

Park. 

How did you start 

running? 

When I was in eighth 

grade I ran track for 

another school and I 

ended up having a lot of 

success. I broke five minutes 

in a mile; I assumed 

breaking five minutes 

in a mile as an eighth 

grader meant something. 

I was going to be a soccer 

player, but fell in love 

with running. 

What’s your favorite 

part? 

I have to say the guys. 

Being with the guys, running 

with the guys, even 

a normal bike ride with 

the guys. I’ve done lots 

of sports before and this 

team is different. At the 

end of the day, as long 

as you’re enjoying it and 

having a good time is 

what matters. 

What’s the hardest 

part? 

I have to say the hardest 

part is being mentally 

strong. When you’re running 

cross-country, every 

cross-country runner 

knows running will hurt. 

Staying mentally strong 

is definitely the best thing 

you can do. Will the pain 

get the best of you? Just 

run. The trick is to not 

mind the pain. 

Any plans to continue 

after high school? 

I really want to run in 

college, I’m not excited 

to leave high school because 

I know that college 

is way different. Running 

in college is something 

I’m really looking into. 

Is there a runner you 

really look up to? 

Grant Fisher [Stanford 

University], he graduated 

a year before I was a 

freshman. Just the way he 

handles things. 

Where’s your favorite 

place to eat in the 

area? 

Noodles and Company 

in Deerfield. It’s a ritual 

for the team to go there 

before meets. 

If you could have 

dinner with three 

famous people, living 

or dead, who would 

it be? 

Chuck Norris, Alan 

Webb, Morgan Freeman. 

What’s the one 

place you’ve always 

wanted to visit but 

never have? 

England, they play a lot 

of soccer over there and 

prior to running I was a 

really good soccer player. 

What movie character 

most reminds you of 

yourself? 

Jesse Owens in the 

Race movie. Despite 

people not believing in 

him, he rises up. A lot of 

people have not expected 

a lot of me since my 

sophomore year because 

of my injury. 

What’s one thing, 

outside of running, 

that you’re 

passionate about? 

My other passion outside 

of running has to be 

photography. I love 

photography because 

of the way it captures 

daily life. I first started 

getting into photography 

when my older brother 

Juan bought his first 

camera. We would 

always shoot around and 

I would sometimes get 

sick of it, but with time 

I ended up not minding 

it and actually enjoying 

it more. As the years 

went on I even created a 

photography website and 

social media profile for 

myself. It’s my second 

passion because the art 

of taking pictures can 

be mastered by anyone 

as long as they continue 

shooting pictures and 

going outside and 

exploring the world.

Youth Tennis 

HP seventh grader wins USTA tournament 

Erin Redmond, Sports Editor 

When Benny Winer won his first 

tournament, his family wasn’t there 

to witness it. 

But that’s how he wanted it. 

The Northwood Junior High 

School seventh grader won the Boys’ 

12 Singles Division End of Summer 

Open Single Day Showdown at Deer 

Creek Courts in Highland Park Aug. 

26th, after knocking off four competitors 

in the United States Tennis 

Association-sanctioned event. But 

things almost went dramatically 

different. 

Winer fell behind early in his 

first match and found himself in a 

2-1 hole. Seeing his son’s frustration, 

his father, Todd, thought it 

might be best to let him play without 

the pressure of parental eyes 

watching. 

And it turns out that’s exactly 

what Benny needed. 

“When I came back, he was sitting 

in my chair and he said ‘yeah, I 

won 6-3,’” Todd said with a laugh. 

“... Later my wife, Robin, showed 

up to watch — I had to do something 

— and he decided maybe it 

would be a better idea if she didn’t 

watch him either.” 

Benny went on to win his next three 

matches by scores of 6-2, 6-0 and 6-2 

in the finals. The latter, he said, was 

the toughest as he had to fight his way 

back from an early deficit. 

“It felt pretty good. It was my 

first tournament win from a USTA 

tournament, so it was pretty cool 

[to win],” Benny said. “The later 

rounds got harder ... I was just 

telling myself if I play my best 

and do what I know I’m supposed 

to do and what my coaches say, 

then I’ll be able to hit my shot 

and win.” 

It was a big accomplishment for 

the Highland Park resident, who 

had only won tournaments through 

his club, Racquet Club of Lake 

Bluff, prior to this win. The feat 

is even bigger, he said, as he only 

began playing the sport about two 

years ago. 

“Neither of us — my wife or I 

— saw him win,” a chuckling Todd 

said. “I was really shocked. Not that 

I doubt his abilities, but he’s never 

won a tournament before. He’s only 

been playing a couple years. When 

he told me, I was just so excited for 

him and so proud of him.” 

Benny recently made the decision 

to make tennis his main sport, forgoing 

playing for the Park District 

of Highland Park’s travel baseball 

team in an effort to accomplish his 

goal of making varsity when he enters 

high school in two years. 

In the meantime, he said he’ll 

continue practicing and competing 

as much as he can. 

“We’re trying to look for as 

Benny Winer of Highland Park, 

won the Boys’ 12 Singles Division 

End of Summer Open Single Day 

Showdown Aug. 26, at Deer Creek 

Courts in Highland Park photo 

Submitted 

many tournaments as we can,” 

he said. “Almost everyday we 

search through the USTA website 

to see if there are any tournaments 

soon that I would be able to 

register for.” 

Rank and file 

Top teams in 22nd Century Media’s 

coverage area 

1. Loyola Academy 

The Ramblers 

were able to get 

some of their backups 

playing time after routing 

Fenwick. Loyola pulled 

away in the second half after 

leading only 17-7 at the 

half. The win sets up a big 

game against St. Rita this 

Friday in Chicago. 

2. Glenbrook South 

The Titans 

bounced back from 

their loss to Barrington 

by running all over Niles 

North, racking up 296 

rushing yards in the win. 

Jack Jerfita had 111 yards 

and a touchdown, while 

Savontae Gardner had 105 

yards and a score to lead 

the way. 

3. New Trier 

The Trevians offense 

exploded for 

52 points in the win over 

Niles West. Quarterback 

Carson Ochsenhirt made 

his second start of his career 

and opened up the 

playbook, getting players 

like Brian Sitzer into the 

fold. Sitzer finished with 

three scores in the win. 

4. Highland Park 

After starting the 

season 0-3, the Giants 

have won two in a 

row and both in convincing 

fashion. It seems as if 

the season has turned itself 

around and the team is 

aiming for another shot at 

the playoffs. 

5. Glenbrook North 

The Spartans 

have been struggling 

since losing their 

starting quarterback to 

an injury in the second 

week of the season. GBN 

played without 15 players 

against Maine West 

and gave no word whether 

they’ll be back for this 

week’s game. 

6. Lake Forest 

The Scouts are 

on a three-game 

losing streak and the offense 

has struggled mightily 

during the losing streak, 

not scoring more than 10 

points in a game.

course,” Leibfried said. 

“We’re not going to focus 

on who our competitors 

are. It will be about being 

able to successfully play 

the course we’re on.” 

All six Lake Forest golfers 

on its blue team shot 

under an 80, which led to 

the hosts winning the 16- 

team invite with a 296. 

“It’s definitely nice 

when everyone on the 

team can shoot low scores 

like that,” Lake Forest’s 

Jed Thomas said. “Depth 

is really important and can 

be the difference between 

being a state championship 

team and not being 

one. Our coach stresses 

the last four holes shooting 

even or better so when we 

do that, it usually means a 

strong round.” 

Thomas led the way, 

tying for second with a 

1-over par 73 and had a big 

reason for his success. 

“I switched my putter,” 

Thomas said. “Because of 

that I putted really well. 

I started slow shooting 

2-over through the first 

two holes but I shot 1-under 

the rest of the way.” 

Connor Polender and 

Scott Frevert each shot 

74s for the Scouts. And the 

Gold team didn’t fare too 

badly themselves as Wes 

Dixon and Spencer Silvernail 

led the way with 78s. 

Loyola Academy seems 

to be coming together at 

the right time as the Ramblers 

took second with a 

298. 

“We started the season 

slow which is the opposite 

of what we typically do,” 

Loyola’s Ben Scherman 

said. “But we’ve picked 

it up as of late and one of 

our top golfers has been 

cleared by IHSA for the 

conference meet and regionals 

so that will be a big 

addition.” 

New Trier shot a 313, 

led by Daniel Tanaka’s 77 

and Michael Tanaka’s 78. 

North Shore Country 

Day’s Peter Miles shot a 

76 and Miles has been a 

consistent golfer throughout 

his high school career 

and that continued on Saturday. 

“Everything was solid. 

I didn’t putt my best, but 

I was able to avoid long 

putts,” Miles said. “I was 

able to two-putt successfully 

and overall hit a decent 

amount of greens. 

I was able to hit the ball 

wider on the par 4s on this 

course.” 

Will Dart shot an 82 for 

the Raiders as they finished 

with a 338. 

Glenbrook North carded 

a 317, led by Max Kogen 

(77) and Kevin O’Regan 

(79). 

“Kevin was struggling 

a little going into today 

but he did a good job 

shooting below 80. Max 

worked through some 

putting issues today and 

had a strong score,” GBN 

coach Justin Gerbich said. 

“We’ve been up and down 

this season and two of our 

regular golfers didn’t play 

today. Right now we’re focusing 

on what we can to 

have four good days coming 

up [postseason].” 

And for Gerbich, playing 

well in the postseason 

comes down to playing 

smart.



MEET KATIE 

I started my journey doing hair in 2004 when I began 

cosmetology school at Pivot Point International. 

During that time I also worked at a skin care studio 

as a consultant and makeup artist. After I graduated 

cosmetology school, I continued my journey with 

more schooling to expand my knowledge and learn 

more skills. I also had the amazing opportunity to go 

to Italy and take classes in Milan. 

I graduated in 2006 and obtained my second 

license for hair. I still wanted more training, more 

knowledge, so I set my sights on a salon that had a 

training program. After a lengthy interview process, 

in February of 2007 I began my career at the salon 

of my dreams, Pascal pour Elle, and have been here 

every since. I quickly worked my way through the 

assistant apprenticeship program and earned the 

title I strived for, Stylist, in November of that year. 

I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2005, a 

licensed barber since 2006 and currently specialize 

in Keratin Complex Treatments to smooth and 

defrizz hair. My goal is to make my clients feel 

comfortable and beautiful. The best part of my day 

is finishing a clients hair, turning the chair towards 

the mirror, and seeing a big smile on their face...my 

goal accomplished. Great hair doesn’t have to be 

complicated,find the beauty in simplicity.

Bloom fills in for injured Brincks in Giants win 

Todd Marver 


Highland Park junior 

running back Jared Bloom, 

who started in place of injured 

Ryan Brincks, didn’t 

waste any time letting his 

presence be known in the 

Giants’ 27-14 win at Vernon 

Hills on Friday, Sept. 22. 

On Highland Park’s (2-3, 

1-0 CSL North) first series 

of the game, Bloom had a 

37-yard touchdown run to 

put the Giants up 7-0 with 

9:48 left in the first quarter. 

That drive featured three 

Bloom runs. He opened 

the drive with a 3-yard run 

followed by a 13-yard run 

before the touchdown run. 

“I was just trying to 

fill the role I was given,” 

Bloom said. “We’ve got a 

great O-line to run behind 

and they’re coming out every 

game hard. So I’ve just 

got to run behind them and 

follow my holes and follow 

my leads.” 

Bloom also had a 15- 

yard touchdown run to give 

Highland Park a 27-7 lead 

with 5:29 left in the third 

quarter. That touchdown 

run was set up by senior 

linebacker Nick Heilizer’s 

interception, which gave 

Highland Park possession 

at Vernon Hills’ 18- 

yard line. Bloom then had 

a 3-yard run before his 

touchdown run. He rushed 

for 126 yards on 22 carries 

in the game. 

“I thought Jared Bloom 

had a fantastic game,” 

Highland Park coach Joe 

Horeni said. “I thought our 

offensive line played really 

good especially in the first 

half. To be a good football 

team, you’ve got to be able 

to run the ball. I thought 

Jared Bloom did a hell of 

a job. He really showed 

his toughness tonight. He

squared his shoulders and 

he was a downhill runner 

and did a good job.” 

Highland Park junior 

wide receiver Giancarlo 

Volpentesta also had two 

touchdowns. Highland 

Park senior quarterback 

John Sakos (5-of-11, 109 

yards, 1 interception) threw 

a 5-yard touchdown pass 

to Volpentesta to extend 

Highland Park’s lead to 

14-0 with 6:01 left in the 

first quarter. 

Volpentesta also caught 

a screen pass from Sakos 

and went 69 yards to the 

endzone after stiff arming 

defenders and breaking 

tackles to extend Highland 

Park’s lead to 21-0 t in the 

second quarter. Volpentesta 

had three catches for 86 

yards in the game. 

“We’ve been practicing 

that play all week, that 

screen pass,” Volpentesta 

said. “It was really repetitive. 

When it came up and I 

heard the play, I knew it was 

going to be big right when I 

caught the ball. I gave a stiff 

arm and I broke free.” 

“GC’s catch was really 

good,” Horeni said. “It was 

a screen pass and he broke 

two or three tackles and 

then took it to the house. I 

thought that was fantastic.” 

Vernon Hills quarterback 

Derek Jarrell threw a 

7-yard touchdown pass to 

Jack Himel to cut Highland 

Park’s lead to 21-7 

with 2:28 left in the first 

half. Jarrell also threw an 

18-yard touchdown pass 

to Luke Perlin to cut Highland 

Park’s lead to 27-14 

with 1:20 left in the game. 

Vernon Hills outscored 

Highland Park 14-6 in the 

final 33 minutes of the 

game. The Giants padded 

their lead early jumped out 

to a quick 21-0 lead within 

the first 15 minutes of play. 

Highland Park scored a 

touchdown in three of its 

first four possessions, but 

only found the end zone 

once more for the remainder 

of the game. Horeni 

would have liked to see 

more consistency from his 

offense. 

“We’ve just got to find 

ways to punch it in on offense,” 

Horeni said. “We 

had some situations where 

we turn the ball over on 

Noah Morgenstern chases down the Vernon Hills ball 

carrier. 

a dumb interception, we 

have some false start penalties 

and we go three and 

out. We can’t have that.” 

Although Highland Park 

got outscored the rest of the 

game, Volpentesta felt the 

quick 21-0 lead was a big 

boost for the team. 

“Huge confidence 

booster,” Volpentesta said. 

“We for sure had the momentum. 

It gave everyone 

confidence. Everyone was 

having a great time. When 

we play with that looseness 

and swagger and we’re 

having fun, we can’t be 

stopped.” 

Highland Park is on a 

two-game winning streak 

after opening the season 

with three straight losses 

against tough competition. 

Highland Park’s losses all 

came to teams with winning 

records: Libertyville 

(3-2), Lakes (5-0) and 

Hersey (4-1). Highland 

Park next faces Glenbrook 

North on Thursday, Sept. 

28, at Wolters Field. 

“The first three games 

prepared us for our conference 

schedule and last 

week’s game,” Horeni said. 

“I think it’s prepared us 

physically. I think the last 

two weeks we’ve been the 

more physical team. We’re 

going to have to continue 

that. That’s what we pride 

ourselves on is being a 

physical team and that’s 

what we’ve got to do.” 

The Giants players agreed. 

“Those first three weeks 

were a little rough, but it 

for sure made us a lot hungrier 

and made us want to 

get those wins a lot more,” 

Volpentesta said. “So then 

once we found our groove 

last week, we came into 

this week getting even 

better and continuing our 

groove.”

With Glenbrook North 

senior forward Deng Deng 

Kur out due to injury, the 

Spartans needed others to 

fill the void on offense. Senior 

midfielders Sahil Modi 

and Matt Metzger and junior 

midfielder Max Marquez 

answered the call in 

GBN’s 4-0 win at Highland 

Park on Saturday, Sept. 23. 

Despite the loss, Highland 

Park coach Blake 

Novotny was pleased with 

how his team performed 

against one of the top teams 

in the area. Chicagoland 

Soccer ranked GBN No. 8 

in the Chicagoland area, as 

of its most recent poll on 

Sept. 17. 

“We had scoring chances 

and I think we had some 

really good scoring opportunities,” 

Novotny said. 

“We had things we didn’t 

capitalize on. They missed 

a few opportunities as well 

but then they capitalized on 

a few mistakes we made. 

I thought on our offensive 

end we pushed forward 

pretty well when we had 

chances. 

“Here’s a better team in 

the area and I think the kids 

feel like they hung with 

them. Those couple moments 

in the game that are 

those pinnacle moments we 

need to make sure they go 

our way.” 

Novonty felt the game 

was closer than the 4-0 final 

score would indicate. 

“Despite the scoreboard, 

they feel like they played 

pretty strong and played a 

fairly even game,” he said. 

“The scoreboard I think 

was a little skewed. That

last PK that they scored 

wasn’t really a PK. Their 

coach even looked at me 

like, ‘Why did they call 

that?’ That makes it 3-0. 

Their second goal was 

just a mental error on our 

keeper’s part. So I think 

our kids are looking at this 

as a 2-0 or 2-1 type of score 

that it should have been. So 

they’re taking the positive 

out of that.” 

Novotny singled out the 

play of junior midfielder 

Joey Schwartz in the game. 

“Joey Schwartz worked 

hard today,” Novotny said. 

“He swung the ball from 

side to side pretty well today. 

So I was happy with 

that.” 

Metzger scored GBN’s 

lone first-half goal off an 

assist from Modi to give 

the Spartans a 1-0 lead with

“I got the ball and dribbled 

past their guys,” Modi 

said. “I didn’t have the 

greatest angle and I saw 

Metzger wide open. I just 

slipped it to him and I knew 

it would be an easy goal. It 

was just the better play for 

the team.” 

Marquez scored on the 

Spartans’ second goal of 

the game to extend their 

lead to 2-0 with 31:56 left 

in the game. 

“I saw the ball coming 

in, so I decided to make

I just sprinted to the near

got stuck in my feet and I 

was on the ground. Luckily 

it just bounced back up 

and I was just able to backwards 

volley it in on the 

ground. It was pretty cool. 

It was just a nice feeling to 

get a goal.” 

Junior midfielder Ben 

Gordon scored on a penalty 

kick for GBN’s fourth goal 

of the game to extend its 

lead to 4-0 with 4:04 left in 

the game. 

“The first half we just 

came out slow,” Modi said. 

“With it being really hot 

outside, we just needed to 

get our legs going and get 

into the game more. So 

when we got that goal we 

were feeling pretty confident.”
