Santa helps skaters celebrate holiday season 

NEIL MILBERT 

Freelance Reporter 

While a miniature sleigh 

drawn by eight tiny reindeer 

is the customary 

way that Santa Claus gets 

around, he also delights in 

taking an occasional ride 

on a Zamboni. 

Claus rode onto the ice 

on a Zamboni at the Glenview 

Ice Center on the afternoon 

of Saturday, Dec. 

23, and spent the next few 

hours giving kids and their 

parents a head start on the 

excitement awaiting them 

on Christmas morn. 

The occasion was the 

Ice Center’s annual Skate 

with Santa event. 

“It’s an tradition,” said 

Facilities Supervisor 

Patrick Brickley. “The 

kids like Santa, and Santa 

likes doing it. Today, 

we had more than 100 

participants.” 

After greeting the children 

and their parents, and 

giving out candy canes 

while he stood alongside 

the Zamboni on the ice, 

Santa roved the stands 

and wandered the lobby, 

spreading more Christmas 

cheer. 

Christmas carols on the 

public address system added 

to the atmosphere. 

“I’ve been coming here 

for six or eight years,” 

Claus told the Lantern. “I 

love it, but the reindeer get 

jealous of the Zamboni.” 

Claus was told that snow 

was forecast for Christmas 

Eve. 

“It’s going to be a white 

Christmas,” he predicted. 

“The sleigh will just glide 

along.” 

Glenview’s Eric McIntire 

and his wife, Rachel, 

came with their 6-year-old 

son, Liam. 

“Liam is doing figure 

skating and hockey here,” 

Rachel McIntire said. “He 

loves being on the ice. He 

was wondering where to 

put the reindeer food, so 

we got a chance to ask 

Santa.” 

Tim Miller, of Glenview, 

came with his daughters, 

4-year-old Genevieve and 

7-year-old Susie. 

“We have season passes 

for the open skate,” he 

said. “We didn’t know 

Santa would be here. That 

was a pleasant surprise.” 

Gabe Bennett, of Northbrook, 

and his 4-year-old 

son, Dillon, who began 

skating this year, also were 

surprised to see Claus. 

“We came for the open 

skating,” he said. “The 

rink in Northbrook doesn’t 

have open skating. Getting 

to see Santa was a nice 

surprise.”

Glenview Park Board 

Ice center renovation to appear on March ballot 

Commissioners 

vote 5-2 in favor 

of Task Force 

recommendation 

NEIL MILBERT 


A $17 million bond referendum 

to finance renovation 

of the 44-year-old 

Glenview Ice Center and 

make improvements at The 

Grove will appear on the 

March election ballot. 

By a 5-2 vote, the Glenview 

Park District Board 

accepted the recommendation 

of the 28-member Citizen 

Task Force at its Thursday, 

Dec. 21 meeting 

The estimated annual tax 

impact of the bond measure 

would be $35.69 for a 

$500,000 home, or approximately 

$2.97 per month. 

Board President Bob 

Patton and Commissioner 

Dan Peterson voted against 

the proposal after Patton’s 

recommendations attaching 

strings to the operation 

of a renovated ice center 

were voted down 5-2. 

“While the Task Force 

considered many issues 

relating to the ice center, 

given the finite amount of 

time ... one issue the Task 

Force was not asked to address 

was how the ice center 

would be operated if the referendum 

passes and it is ultimately 

built,” Patton said. 

“The president’s recommendation 

combines two 

very, very simple recommendations,” 

he continued. 

“The first recommendation 

is that if the referendum 

passes and the Ice Center is 

ultimately built/renovated, 

the new ice center should be 

managed and operated in a 

manner where it will at least 

break even. The second recommendation 

is ... if a new 

ice center is constructed and 

has built up adequate financial 

reserves, any annual 

profits should be returned 

to the taxpayers through reducing 

portions of the bond 

and interest levy.” 

Peterson argued in favor 

of Patton’s recommendations 

— saying, “If there is 

a demand, then we should 

be able to cover costs.” — 

and voted in favor of them. 

Commissioners Jen Roberts 

and Bill Casey made 

heated arguments against 

them. 

“I have a problem with 

market clearing rates to 

cover costs,” Roberts said. 

“It works with widgets, but 

we’re not dealing with widgets. 

We are not a for-profit 

organization; we have a 

mission.” 

Wikipedia defines market 

clearing as “the process by 

which in an economic market, 

the supply of whatever 

is traded is equated to the 

demand so there is no leftover 

supply or demand.” 

“It’s not how we operate 

our other facilities,” Casey 

said. “We try to keep them 

profitable.” 

Commissioner Dave Dillon 

noted that no strings 

were attached to the renovation 

of the golf course 

and other facilities. 

“I appreciate the concerns, 

but remember this 

is for kids,” Dillon said. “I 

want the referendum.” 

Joining Roberts, Casey 

and Dillon in voting in favor 

of the task force recommendation 

were Commissioners 

Angie Katsamakis 

and Dave Tosh. 

Prior to the discussion 

that prefaced the vote, eight 

residents spoke in favor of 

the task force’s proposal, 

including Carlo Cavallaro, 

who represented the task 

force. No residents expressed 

opposition. 

Most of the speakers had 

a hockey or figure-skating 

connection to the ice center, 

which currently has 

one full sheet of ice and a 

half-sheet studio rink. They 

emphasized the benefits in 

adding a full sheet of ice, as 

well as the hardships that 

would be alleviated. 

One of the proponents 

was former Park Board 

Member Ted Przybylo. 

He told the board: 

“We’ve been hearing for 13 

years that the ice center has 

the need, the demand and 

the demographics to support 

two-and-a-half sheets 

of ice.” 

Alex Botvinnik, assistant 

coach of the Glenbrook 

hockey, said his team has 

never played a high school 

game on its home rink because 

of its inability to secure 

ice time. Instead, the 

team holds “nine of 10 practices 

on the studio rink.” 

Pete Boland, of the GBS 

boys hockey Board of Directors, 

pointed out that the 

Titans are forced to hold 

practices at 10:45 p.m. on 

Mondays, 10:05 p.m. on 

Tuesdays and 9:50 p.m. on 

Thursdays because of the 

absence of available ice 

in the evening, which deprives 

the student-athletes 

of sleep. He also said that 

“we have to cut kids” at 

GBS because the scarcity 

of ice time prevents 

the club from fielding two 

teams, as New Trier and 

Loyola Academy do. 

Similar concerns were 

expressed by Renee 

Schmidt, president of the 

Parent Board of the Glenview 

Blades synchronized 

skating team. 

“We have three teams 

and they are getting 50 

percent of the ice time they 

need,” she said. “Girls are 

getting up at 5 a.m. (to 

practice because ice time 

isn’t available at night).” 

Christy Vazzano-Crist 

talked about the physical 

and psychological benefits 

derived from participation 

in programs at the ice center. 

Vazzano-Crist said she 

has “three hockey-playing 

sons and a 20-year-old, 

special-needs daughter, 

Frankie, who learned to 

skate at the ice center as 

a child and is now an ice 

skating instructor.” 

The Citizen Task Force 

was able to reduce the bond 

request by almost 30 percent 

by renovating, rather 

than replacing, the ice center 

and removing improvements 

to Sleepy Hollow 

Park from the proposal. 

Public opinion research 

conducted by the Task 

Force revealed that most 

residents did not see a need 

for a new ice center but 

supported the renovation 

project, which in addition 

to providing an additional 

sheet of ice would address 

safety, security and disability 

issues; energy inefficiencies; 

and deteriorating 

mechanical systems. 

“We’re spending $12.5 

million just to keep it operational,” 

Park District 

Executive Director Mike 

McCarty told the Task 

Force when it convened 

for a final time on Nov. 15. 

“Bare bones repairs would 

cost $8 million.” 

McCarty praised the 

Task Force in the press release 

that was issued after 

the Park Board voted in favor 

of the referendum. 

“The decision made to 

pursue a scaled-back proposal, 

which is focused on 

our absolute highest priority 

needs, reinforces the 

District’s continued commitment 

to fiscal responsibility 

and delivering high 

quality services to our taxpayers,” 

he concluded.

Glenview’s Business Person of 

the Year: A nonprofit leader 

Submitted by Glenview 

Chamber of Commerce 

A dog leaps into the pool at Carriage Hill Kennels, which was recently named 

Business of the Year by the Glenview Chamber of Commerce. PHOTO SUBMITTED 

All the dogs in the know agree 

Carriage Hill 

Kennels is 2017’s 

Business of the 

Year by Chamber 

Submitted by the Glenview 


It might not have happened 

at all. 

Francine Barnes’ father 

might have stuck with 

serving Greek omelets to 

Evanstonians in the family 

business. But one day, her 

mother spotted a kennel 

for sale in Glenview. After 

a few touch-and-go years 

— at one point, a car was 

sold to make payments 

— the world changed for 

the region’s dogs: detailed 

grooming, safe housing 

and expert training were 

readily available. 

Fifty-six years later, Carriage 

Hill Kennels, which is 

owned by Francine and her 

brother Chris Cocallas, was 

named Business of the Year 

by the Glenview Chamber 

of Commerce. The awards 

ceremony is part of the 

chamber’s Board Installation 

and Awards on Jan. 10. 

The award arrived on the 

heel of winning acclaim as 

the best in pet boarding in 

the North Shore Choice 

Awards. 

Also included in the 

business are an aquatic 

center for dogs needing 

gentle exercise or just 

plain fun, and four puppy 

breeding programs. Some 

of the puppies are donated 

to the Dogs with Disabilities 

Service Dog Association. 

And yes, pet boarding 

now includes cats. 

But it’s the decades of 

helping Glenview and the 

region deal with abandoned, 

wounded and lost 

dogs that express the heart 

and soul of the company. 

Barnes grew up alongside 

the kennel, and she 

remembers helping to retrieve 

dogs trapped in hotel 

rooms. There was also 

an era of pit bulls, some 

wounded, left in the forest 

preserves to fend for 

themselves. Other dogs 

were lost in the middle of 

a spring cleanup or family 

event, and still others were 

hapless runaways. 

When the owner of another 

kennel died, Carriage 

Hill took in all their 

boarders. To this day, Carriage 

Hill keeps a close relationship 

with police and 

Glenview’s animal control 

unit. 

“Sometimes the police 

officers took the dogs 

home after a while,” Francine 

said. “We have very 

good police in Glenview.” 

At Summer Fest, she 

continues to educate dog 

owners about keeping their 

paperwork and their dog’s 

microchip information up 

to date. 

“Francine and Chris 

go out of their way to 

help, and to give back to 

the community,” said Erick 

Weingart, a chamber 

member and the owner 

of Farmer’s Insurance in 

Glenview. 

The Weingart family 

also owns a 4-month-old 

Carriage Hill puppy. 

Sheridan Turner, president 

and CEO of The Kohl 

Children’s Museum, has 

won a title she did not expect 

this year: The Glenview 


Business Person of 

the Year. 

The awards ceremony 

is part of the chamber’s 

Board Installation and 

Awards on Jan. 10. 

One inspiration for the 

award: “To be successful 

a nonprofit has to be run 

like a business,” Turner 

said. 

Like a business, a nonprofit 

must raise revenue; 

but unlike a business, extra 

revenue goes directly into 

programming and growth. 

Nearly 330,000 people 

visit the museum each 

year. 

That’s 330,000 people 

who might not have visited 

Northwest Glenview, wandered 

through The Glen 

shops, stopped for a movie 

or a meal, or maybe even 

wandered by a real-estate 

office soon after. Besides 

offering well-researched 

educational experiences, 

an early childhood connection 

program and a 

commitment to children 

across the region, including 

children living in Chicago, 

Kohl contributes to 

the economic health of the 

region. 

A longtime executive 

with the museum, Turner 

took the lead in moving 

the museum from its original 

spot in Wilmette to 

Glenview in 2005. 

With help from state 

legislators and other civic 

leaders, land being used 

to recycle concrete while

Adventures in Glenview 

Finding the happiest in town 

Denny Hebson 

Contributing Columnist 

Glenview resident 

As you read this, 

my family and I 

are flying to the 

West Coast to spend the 

holidays in the Central 

California town of San 

Luis Obispo. We selected 

this town because it’s the 

only place in California 

that’s not currently on fire. 

It is also known as the 

Happiest Town in America, 

although my kids are 

claiming that it may lose 

that title once grumpy old 

me is there for a week. 

I have to admit, though, 

I’m intrigued. There are 

about 35,000 towns in the 

U.S. How do you get to be 

the happiest one? 

Is there an endless Mardi 

Gras parade through the 

center of town? Do they 

teach chuckling in the 

elementary schools? Are 

there free milkshakes? 

Do meter maids give out 

Super Bowl tickets instead 

of parking tickets? 

Does no one in the 

whole town listen to the 

national news? 

And where did Glenview 

place on the list? 

I suppose it depends on 

when they did the survey. 

If they took it in the middle 

of January, we probably 

came in 27,643rd. 

But if they took the survey 

on a May afternoon. I 

think we’d do okay. Even 

if it was a cloudy day. 

We have quite a bit to 

be happy about, I think. 

Our school system is 

great. Most of our kids go 

to college. 

We have nature. The 

forest preserve. Bike paths. 

The Grove. Although a 

place like San Luis Obispo 

is close to the mountains 

and we’re close to ... Mount 

Prospect. I suppose we lose 

a few points for that. 

We have a farm. And 

a children’s museum. 

A lake. Three parades. 

Twenty-six parks. We 

have movies and restaurants 

and bars. 

Heck, we even have a 

street named Happy Hollow 

Road. (It’s just east of 

Pfingsten.) 

I do wish my property 

taxes were a little lower. 

The price of happiness 

is not cheap. And the 

downtown is still a work 

in progress. But I hear 

there’s a new butcher 

shop opening in Midtown 

Square. And people do 

care. There’s a group 

called Friends of Downtown 

Glenview that’s 

trying to help make downtown 

better. An involved 

citizenry is a happy thing. 

So what place do you 

think all that gets us? 

Maybe it doesn’t matter. 

A town can’t really make 

you happy or unhappy. 

But it doesn’t hurt to live 

among nice, smart, honest, 

good people. 

And I think we all do. 

I’ll be off for a week, 

but I’ll let you know how 

happy San Luis Obispo 

really is when I get back. 

Unless I park my rental 

car next to a fire hydrant 

and end up with seats on 

the 50-yard line at the 

Super Bowl. 

Happy New Year.

Peak Your Profits 

Reflecting on an impact in Glenview 

Jeff Blackman 


Glenview Resident 

Jeff Thoelecke, president 

of Northview 

Bank & Trust, and I 

have favorite conversation-starters: 

family, the 

Cubs, business. 

Thankfully, we spend 

little time discussing 

our dancing dexterity. 

(There’s none.) Yet, dance 

united us. Jeff’s daughter 

Danielle and our daughter 

Amanda are buddies. 

They met in 2009 at 

Glenbrook South, where 

they danced as Titan Poms 

teammates for four years. 

While the girls were 

talented dancers, Jeff and 

I became proud observers 

at dance competitions, 

graduation and prom. 

Jeff Blackman: Why 

banking? 

Jeff Thoelecke: Before 

graduating college, my 

father suggested I talk to 

his friends and business 

associates. What a banker 

told me resonated: “When 

you lend money to businesses 

and are involved 

with the owners, you learn 

a lot. And that produces 

rewarding results.” 

JB: As a Wintrust Community 

bank, you’re the 

Cubs’ exclusive banking 

partner. What’s the 

impact? 

JT: The timing, fortunate. 

The impact, difficult 

to measure. However, the 

brand awareness has been 

positive. Associating with 

the Cubs provides meaningful 

credibility. Their 

winning culture — on the 

field, in the clubhouse and 

throughout the organization 

— becomes a big plus when 

our name is next to theirs. 

JB: When you broke 

ground, you said, “We’re 

excited to be part of Glenview 

and look forward to 

serving/investing in this 

community.” How so? 

JT: There’s a responsibility 

and moral conscience 

being a community 

bank. Although we’ve 

been in the Glenview area 

since 1993, we didn’t 

drop anchor with a false 

expectation. We must earn 

our way, and demonstrate 

our intent and participation 

are genuine. 

JB: Loans require 

“hoop jumping” ... 

JT: The voluminous 

paperwork indicates many 

things, like legislation enacted 

since 2008 intended 

to protect consumers and 

small businesses. Or the 

policing responsibility the 

government has placed on 

financial institutions since 

9/11. Much of it involves 

protecting banks from 

undue risk that could be 

harmful to depositors. The 

unfortunate consequence is 

so much regulation exists 

to “protect” consumers that 

banks aren’t able to help 

consumers in ways they 

really need. 

JB: How did the 

economic chaos of 2008 

influence your personal 

banking approach? 

JT: Long-standing 

friendships between bankers 

and borrowers were 

tested, but knowing people 

was crucial. The most satisfying 

outcomes were when 

we bet on the borrower 

rather than moving swiftly 

to minimize damage to the 

bank. Those borrowers are 

still with us, and loyal. 

JB: With the Equifax 

security breach, how do 

you assure customers their 

“nest egg” is safe? 

JT: We encourage clients 

to sign up for e-mail 

and text alerts for unusual 

account activity. And 

check their credit reports 

for free annually. Plus, 

consider placing a freeze 

on their files. By knowing 

local customers, we keep 

attention levels high for 

suspicious inquiries and 

monitor abnormal behavior. 

If we’re not familiar 

with a customer’s voice 

on the telephone, we set 

up a confidential password 

and clue in advance to 

verify legitimacy. 

JB: Our daughters 

danced together. How are 

your dancing skills? 

JT: Dangerous. For 

public safety, I require a 

large portion of the dance 

floor. My wife, Tiffany, 

recommends helmets and 

eye-protection for nearby 

observers.

From The Editor 

Remember where you came from 

CHRIS PULLAM 

chris@glenviewlantern.com 

As I write this, I’m 

sitting on a train 

headed back to 

good ole Cherry, Ill., to 

spend the holidays with 

my family. 

In my mind, Cherry is 

a very strange place. It 

means nothing and everything 

to me at the same 

time. 

I lived there from third 

grade through my first 

two years of college, but I 

couldn’t wait to leave and 

start the next adventure 

in my life; hopefully, in 

a town with a population 

greater than 500. I spent 

four years in Champaign, 

population 84,000, before 

settling in Chicago, which 

is at least slightly larger 

than Cherry, and never 

looked back. 

That is, unless I think of 

my family. 

My mom was born and 

raised in Cherry. She, 

along with my dad and 

siblings, still live there — 

only a few houses away 

from three pairs of aunts 

and uncles, along with my 

grandparents. 

My grandpa, in particular, 

lives and breathes 

Cherry. He’s been the 

mayor for as long as I can 

remember; but I assure 

you, the position is very 

different than that of 

Glenview Village President 

Jim Patterson. 

For the most part, he 

performs construction or 

community-related tasks 

around town for free. 

Have a busted pipe? He’s 

your man. Need to install 

a sink? He’s got you 

covered. 

Need to fund the entire 

village’s operations 

for a year? He’ll make 

hundreds of pounds of 

sausage, available in both 

regular or garlic, and sell 

it to just about everyone in 

Bureau County. 

Like I said before, my 

grandpa lives and breathes 

Cherry. And for that reason, 

Cherry is still a very 

big part of my life. 

Even if I pretend otherwise, 

Cherry is ingrained 

in my very existence. 

Without it, I wouldn’t be 

the person I am today, and 

you would need to find a 

new editor for The Glenview 

Lantern. 

According to my mom, 

my grandfather always 

told his kids “remember 

who you are” whenever 

they left the house. Basically, 

he was telling them 

to stay true to themselves. 

But I don’t see much difference 

between “remember 

who you are” and “remember 

where you came 

from.” We’re all influenced 

by our families, but we’re 

also influenced by our 

surroundings. Besides, 

Cherry is much more than 

a small farming town surrounded 

by corn (or beans, 

depending on the year). It’s 

a group of human beings 

I’ve known most of my life 

who still reach out for a hug 

whenever I come home. 

Now, I’ve waxed poetically 

about this dynamic 

because a Glenview 

resident recently asked 

why we feature stories on 

ex-Glenview residents. 

My answer: read above. 

Glenbrook South posted a photo of 

students collecting gifts for Chicagoarea

Among his list of things 

to address, Lubelfeld said 

that reestablishing trust 

between the residents and 

District will be paramount. 

The District recently 

decided to close Elm 

Place School and Lincoln 

Elementary School, consolidate 

the dual-language 

program and shifted its 

borders to accommodate 

the students whose schools 

had closed. 

Prior to his appointment, 

the District operated without 

a superintendent. 

“I have been concerned 

about the impact of (not) 

having a superintendent 

and board transition without 

a superintendent for 

the past year,” he said. 

Lubelfeld said he sees 

the District’s shift in border 

as a necessary shortterm 

fix, and effecting 

long-term change and 

goals will be a big part of 

his role as superintendent. 

Lubelfeld said he takes a 

“united approach to education.” 

“I would love to present 

a plan to the community 

that takes elements of everyone’s 

high points or requests,” 

he said. 

Part of establishing 

trust, Lubelfeld said, is 

establishing a line of communication 

between the 

District and residents. 

He presently serves 

as the superintendent of 

Deerfield District 109, 

where he’s been since 

2013. 

He said when he first 

arrived there, Deerfield 

had similar problems with 

trust, and he feels he was 

able to restore that trust. 

“I really do have a vision, 

I really do have a 

plan,” Lubelfeld said. “I’m 

going to spend the transition 

learning.”

‘The Little Mermaid’ production a 2017 highlight for Field 

Daniel I. Dorfman 


A few minutes after 

the second of two performances 

of Field Middle 

School’s production of 

“The Little Mermaid,” 

Principal Erin Murphy was 

very pleased with what she 

had just seen. 

“I love it. It is the highlight 

of the year,” Murphy 

said of the annual 

show. “Seeing the kids 

involved in the art, but 

also the technical performance, 

we are seeing 

kids who do not always 

get involved.” 

What Murphy and the 

rest of the audience witnessed 

on Dec. 9 was the 

school’s adaptation of 

the underwater fantasy 

story involving Prince 

Eric, the evil Ursula and 

the central figure, Ariel. 

Approximately 60 of the 

school’s 300 children 

were involved in the onehour 

performance, either 

behind the scenes or in the 

cast. 

Field’s music director 

Case Carvell had experience 

with “The Little 

Mermaid” as he directed 

fifth-graders in the show 

at a neighboring school. 

With his experience and 

knowledge of the music 

and dialogue of “The Little 

Mermaid,” he sensed 

it would be a good fit at 

Field, as he embarked on 

directing his eighth show 

at Field, even as he had 

to navigate the challenge 

getting the costumes 

ready for the maritime adventure. 

“There are so many 

good parts in it and I knew 

there were so many talented 

kids,” Carvell said. 

“Collaborating with the 

other adults I felt this was 

a really good year for this 

Leah Hides, as Ariel, and Jet Kaneshiro, as Prince Eric, 

perform a scene. 

show because we had a lot 

of really good kids to fill 

for the parts.” 

The two shows of Dec. 

8-9 culminated a process 

that began the first full 

week of school, Carvell 

said. 

In September, in front 

of Carvell and two other 

teachers, there were two 

days of open auditions 

where roughly 40 students 

stepped forward hoping 

to land a role. For the students 

that made it to the 

second round of auditions, 

Carvell said they were 

judged not only on their 

individual performances, 

but who played well off of 

whom. 

“A lot of it is role chemistry,” 

Carvell said. “There 

are multiple kids that are 

very talented and can play 

multiple parts so it seeing 

how they play across from 

one another during the 

callbacks and which combinations 

create the best 

chemistry.” 

After the second round 

of tryouts, Carvell and his 

associates selected eighthgrader 

Leah Hides for the 

role of Ariel. 

“I was really excited,” 

Hides recalled in the moments 

just after the second 

show wrapped. “I 

kept checking my email to 

see if I got it and I was so 

happy.” 

Selected to play the supporting 

character of Sebastian 

the Crab was eighthgrader 

Lee Mavrianos, 

who said he has now done 

three musical productions 

at the Field and enjoyed 

this one the most while acknowledging 

the red jacket 

he donned for the show 

was “bulky.” 

“It is really fun for me,” 

Mavrianos said. “I think I 

am going to continue to do 

it in high school and college.” 

Once all the parts were 

cast, Carvell said everyone 

had to practice as much 

as six hours of practice 

a week in rehearsals. He 

also placed audio files 

of their parts to sing on 

the music classes private 

Google classroom, so everyone 

could practice on 

their own. Meanwhile, a 

crew of 14 made the sets

Tecalero and Mario Escobedo perform during the school’s performance of “The Little 

Mermaid” on Dec. 9. PHOTOS SUBMITTED 

all leading up to the shows. 

At the end of the show, 

the cast and crew received 

a warm round of applause 

from the audience. 

“Their hard work paid 

off,” Carvell said. “Seeing 

all the hours they put into 

it was really awesome.”

South’s ‘Twelve Angry Jurors’ leaves no room for debate 

Neil Milbert 


“Superlative” and 

“compelling” are the 

words that best describe 

the performance of the 

student actors at Glenbrook 

South in their winter 

play, “Twelve Angry 

Jurors.” 

The play is a Sherman 

Sergel adaptation of 

Reginald Rose’s classic 

“Twelve Angry Men.” 

In the GBS performances 

on Dec. 14-15 in the 

Lyceum, Director Beth 

Barber’s cast was made 

up of eight young ladies 

and four young men. 

The plot featured the 

80 minutes of jury room 

deliberations in the case 

of a 19-year-old man on 

trial for the murder of 

his father with a switch 

blade in the father’s 

apartment. 

When the vote was taken 

at the start of the play, 

it was 11-1 to find the defendant 

guilty. 

The lone dissenter was 

Juror No. 8, played by El 

Eavenson, who was deeply 

troubled because she 

was unable to conclude 

beyond reasonable doubt 

that the defendant was 

guilty, even though the 

evidence was overwhelming 

in the minds of most 

of the other jurors. 

Tempers flared, which 

led to angry outbursts and 

confrontations, when Juror 

No. 8 insisted that the 

jurors conduct a painstaking 

review of the testimony 

and the evidence. 

The most vehement of 

her adversaries were Juror 

No. 3, played by Kayla 

Kraft, and Juror No. 10, 

played by Marina Madsen. 

During the course of the 

impassioned and borderline 

physical exchanges, 

reasonable doubt gradually 

began creeping into the 

minds of the other jurors 

as they wrestled with their 

decision. In the course of 

these arguments, a few of 

the jurors’ prejudices and 

preconceptions came to 

the fore. 

Some came to favor declaring 

this a hung jury, 

thereby leaving the case 

for a new jury to decide, 

but Juror No. 8 pleaded 

with them to continue 

deliberating and to begin 

questioning the reliability 

of the witnesses’ testimony. 

However, there is no 

reasonable doubt on 

the verdict for the quality 

of the cast of the 

GBS adaptation. The actors 

played their roles to 

perfection. 

Joining Eavenson, Kraft 

and Madsen in the cast 

were Abby Neptun, in the 

role of Madam Foreperson; 

Kat Cooper, as Juror 

No. 2; Allie Vogelmeier, 

as Juror No. 4; Michael 

McNeela, as Juror No. 5; 

Jakobe Rabor, as Juror 

No. 6, Natalie Kahan, as 

Juror No. 7; Lauren Bundy, 

as Juror No. 9; Joey 

Rigney, as Juror No. 11; 

Jack Taylor, as Juror No. 

12; Clara Blackwell, as 

the guard outside the jury 

room; Tadhg O’Connor, 

as the judge; and Hannah 

Glaser, as the clerk of 

court. 

Glaser also served as 

the understudy for Juror 

No. 7; Blackwell served 

as understudy for Juror 

No. 9; and Tadhg served 

as understudy for Juror 

No. 11. 

Katie Durow, who was 

understudy for Juror No. 

2, and Robin Woitesek, 

who was understudy for 

Juror No. 10, were the director’s 

assistants. 

The understudies all 

had the opportunity to 

perform in the roles of jurors 

at the 4 p.m. performance 

on Dec. 14. 

The actresses cast in 

the leading roles all had 

appeared in many previous 

productions at GBS. 

It was the 10th show for 

Eavenson and the ninth 

for Kraft. Madsen also has 

been involved in many 

shows. 

Barber, who teaches 

theater and English at 

GBS, has directed countless 

productions during 

her 30 years on the faculty. 

Prefacing the performance 

of “Twelve Angry 

Jurors” was a 12-minute 

slide presentation, showing 

pictures of individuals 

who later were found 

to have been wrongfully 

convicted of murder, as 

well as details of their 

cases and their sentences. 

Among those ultimately 

found innocent were some 

who were executed after 

receiving the death penalty. 

The slide show established 

the theme for the 

play, and it concluded 

with a quote from Voltaire: 

“It is better to risk 

saving a guilty man than 

condemning an innocent 

one.”

DEAR FRIENDS 

As the holidays approach, I have been 

reflecting on this past year when we 

have witnessed some of the greatest 

humanitarian crises of our time. Between 

devastating hurricanes to the south and 

wildfires on the west coast, so many lives 

have been affected. And many have lost 

everything – yet need to find the strength 

and courage to carry on. 

I have been blessed with a wonderful 

family, loyal staff and clientele. I would like 

to invite you all to participate with me in 

donating to the charity of your choice to help 

those around the world. 

We at Pascal pour Elle are giving a percentage 

of our proceeds to help those in need. Please 

visit our website at www.pascalpourelle.com 

and choose a charity you wish to help support. 

From our Pascal pour Elle family to yours, 

have a wonderful, happy and healthy holiday 

season, and a new year in which we all do 

our part to make the world a better place.

Holiday Greeting 

Card Contest 

Arends 

family wins 

holiday 

prize 


The Glenview Lantern 

hosts many contests 

throughout the year. I’ve 

seen cute pictures of kids 

with their dads for our 

Father’s Day Photo Contest 

and shots of families 

in exotic locales for our 

Family Vacation Photo 

Contest. 

The bar was set pretty 

high this December for 

the Holiday Greeting Card 

Contest. 

This is my second time 

soliciting end-of-year 

pictures and letters from 

Glenview residents; and, 

somehow, 2017 topped 

last year’s crop. 

The Lantern received 

eight submissions. Now, 

that might not sound like 

a lot given the population 

of the village, but you 

definitely put 22nd Century 

Media’s other publications 

to shame. 

I want to thank everyone 

who added The Lantern 

to their holiday list. Having 

eight contestants made 

things pretty difficult from 

a judging perspective. 

All the submissions were 

great. Unfortunately, only 

one could win. 

And that one belonged 

to the Arends family. 

For their submission, 

the Arends won a $100 

gift card to Glenview’s ArcLight 

movie theater. 

Their card, as well as a 

couple others, appear on 

this page. 

The Arends family, of Glenview, won The Lantern’s 

Holiday Greeting Card Contest with their reimagining of 

“The Hangover.” Images submitted 

Carlin Horbal, who recently retired from Wagner Farm, 

designed the Horbal family’s holiday card using the 

farm as her inspiration.

What’s one item on 

your bucket list? 

To go snorkeling because 

it would be pretty 

cool to see life under the 

water. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

Definitely Armenia. I’m 

Armenian and I fell in love 

with the country when I 

went this summer. I would 

love to go back. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I used to play piano 

when I was kid and I was 

really good at it. 

If you had $3 at 

Walgreens, what 

would you buy? 

Snickers bar, Gatorade

chips. 

What’s the best 

coaching advice you’ve 

ever received? 

Probably to stay focused 

every single practice and 

every single rep each time. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

I like volleyball because 

I’m pretty tall, I can jump 

and I’m athletic. 

What’s your favorite 

local restaurant? 

Sushi Para in Palatine. I 

like all sorts of sushi rolls. 

If you could have 

dinner with two 

people, who would 

they be and why? 

Michael Jordan and 

Drake because I would 

like to learn how they do 

what they do and get advice 

on it. 

What’s the best part 

about being a Loyola 

athlete? 

Spending time with my 

teammates outside of basketball. 

We do a lot of service 

work and it’s the best 

part. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

Loyola? 

Last year, winning the 

regional championship. 

Interview by Megan Bernard, 

Contributing Editor

glenviewlantern.com sports 


Coach Talk 

On the cusp of the new 

year, a look at the first year 

Jon ‘Coach’ Cohn 


Glenview Resident 

You never know 

where story ideas 

may come from. 

This one popped up on, 

what for me, was a rarer 

than rare retail shopping 

expedition. 

I ran into longtime 

Glenview resident and 

Junior Titan Football 

founder Tom Thuresson. 

Thuresson, a man of more 

stories than the second 

floor of the Glenview 

Public library, talked 

about a reunion this past 

October, of the original 

1953 born Glenbrook 

High School. 

I listened with interest 

even though holiday anxiety 

shopping mode held 

my attention, I somehow 

summoned my inner journalist, 

and started asking a 

few questions. 

What was the first year 

like from a sports perspective? 

What was the school 

spirit like? How successful 

were the teams? 

I did some research, 

but to be honest, not a 

lot is out there about the 

old Glenbrook High on 

the wondrous world wide 

web. Talking to a few of 

the folks from days gone 

by, however, I pieced 

together at least somewhat 

of a picture. 

In creating a new high 

school, brand new boundaries 

had to be drawn. 

The new Glenbrook 

High School would draw 

students from Palatine, 

Maine, Niles, New Trier 

and of course Glenview 

and Northbrook. 

While administration 

and adults had final say, it 

was the eighth graders at 

Northbrook Junior High 

and at Glenview’s Springman 

Junior High that met 

during the year and help 

select the school nickname 

(the Spartans) the 

school colors (forest green 

and gold) and the school 

fight song. 

School spirit was extremely 

high the first year. 

Walt Sherman, the very 

first football and wrestling 

coach — now 91 years old 

— recalls, “there was excitement 

and enthusiasm 

right away because everything 

was brand new.” 

The football team in 

their first season? It was 

an instant success: five 

wins, two losses and one 

tie. But check this out: 

Year two, they went undefeated. 

In fact, from year 

two through four, they 

had a streak of 26 straight 

wins, which at the time 

was a state record. 

Overall, the sports 

teams across the board 

were strong right away. 

Even though it was a 

brand new school, Glenbrook 

developed a high 

level reputation. I talked 

to Bill Schwanbeck, a star 

athlete at Evanston High 

School at the time who 

went on to play football 

for Northwestern, and 

asked him how he remembered 

the new Glenbrook 

High School. 

“We loved playing 

them,” Schwanback said. 

“They were talented and 

had good athletes, and it 

was a new experience going 

up there to play. They 

had our respect right from 

the beginning.” 

Glenbrook’s strongest 

rival in the early years? 

“Probably Palatine,“ 

said both Thuresson and 

Sherman. 

Were there girls Sports? 

“I don’t think we had 

any girls sports,” Sherman 

said. “Maybe badminton.” 

The girls did have what 

was called the GAA (the 

Girls Athletic Association) 

which as best remembered 

was basically a glorified 

intramural program. 

I would love to find out 

more about sports in that 

very first year. If we have 

any readers out there that 

may have been part of it, 

or have any other additional 

information feel 

free to contact me at the 

email address below. 

I wouldn’t mind doing a 

follow-up on this topic at 

some point. 

In the meantime, while 

we all get ready to celebrate 

the New Year. 

Let’s not forget the first 

year; apparently a very 

successful one for the then 

fledgling Glenbrook High 

School.

Girls Gymnastics 

Trevians edge Titans 

in thrilling CSL battle 

Sarah Healy earns fourth 

place finish in all-around 

David Jaffe, Freelance Reporter 

It isn’t often that there’s a tie for 

first in all-around, but that’s just what 

happened for New Trier gymnasts 

Darcy Barkal and Rachel Zun at a 

Thursday, Dec. 21 Central Suburban 

League South dual meet with Glenbrook 

South. 

The teammates earned scores of 

36.5 and their efforts helped the Trevians 

edge out the visiting Titans, 

144.2-142.25. 

“It’s rare that you end up with a 

tie in gymnastics,” Zun said. “But it 

felt really good to tie with Darcy and 

we were both very happy with the result.” 

Barkal won vault with a 9.45, 

bouncing back from a tough start. 

“My first vault was really bad,” 

Barkal said. “But I recovered and 

was able to land the next one. Everything 

on my second vault went very 

well.” 

Zun had a very strong floor exercise, 

taking third with a 9.4. She 

acknowledges her team is a big help 

during her floor routine. 

“They’re all standing in the corner 

cheering me on,” Zun said. “They 

show a lot of support and once I 

know my tumbling is going well, it 

makes things a lot easier and more 

fun having that during my routine.” 

That support is the biggest reason 

why Barkal has really enjoyed high 

school gymnastics. 

“This is my first year of high 

school gymnastics,” Barkal, a junior, 

said. “And it’s definitely different 

knowing you’re trying to do well for 

your team versus club, which is all 

individual.” 

Barkal also won the uneven bars, 

tying with teammate Maeve Murdock 

(9.2). 

“I was really happy because I 

was able to hit my routine on bars,” 

Barkal said. “That was one of my 

stronger scores on bars and I was really 

pleased with how I did.” 

She was also fifth on floor (9.1) 

and she and Zun tied for sixth on balance 

beam (8.75). 

Zun tied for third on vault with 

Murdock and GBS’ Sarah Healy 

(9.2). 

“I’ve added something to my routine 

for vault this season,” Zun said. 

“I think it’s really shown and helped 

me get better scores. Also, the energy 

the team gives you helped pump me 

up.” 

She also tied for third on bars 

(9,15). Other New Trier finishers 

were Murdock winning beam (9.3), 

and taking third all-around (36.15), 

Avery Faulkner winning floor (9.6) 

and Emma Jane Rohrer tying for 

fourth with GBS’ Bebe Haramaras 

on beam (8.85). 

Healy led the way for the Titans, 

taking fourth in all-around (35.85) 

and second on floor with a 9.5. 

“I was very happy with my tumbling,” 

Healy said. “I had a good 

front handspring front full. And I 

made sure I was having fun. That’s 

the key to a good floor routine. It took 

me a little while to figure out that you 

need to stay loose and relaxed.” 

She also had a strong vault performance. 

“My vault itself was really good,” 

Healy said. “I got up very high and I 

felt myself floating in the air. And I 

was able to land on my feet, which is 

always going to be big.” 

Healy has put a lot of work into her 

routines for this season. And thus far, 

it has paid off nicely for her. 

“I’ve definitely improved a lot,” 

Healy said. “I’ve made my routines 

more difficult and so far it’s impacted 

my scores in a positive way.” 

Healy also was fifth on bars with 

8.7 and got an 8.45 on beam. Other 

GBS scores were Jenna Hartley taking 

second on beam (9), and tying for 

third on bars, Sheena Graham taking 

second on vault (9.4), Kylie Kruger 

third on beam (8.95) and Elena Pauker 

taking fourth on floor (9.25). 

Wrestling 

GBN overpowers GBS 

in dual meet showdown 

Gary Larsen, Freelance Reporter 

The best high school wrestlers 

live in a perpetual state 

of discontent, a place where 

Glenbrook North junior Cam 

Casey now resides full-time. 

“I’m happy with where I’m 

at this year and I’m confident, 

but I’m not satisfied,” Casey 

said. “I want to score more 

points and dominate matches.” 

Casey dominated on Thursday, 

Dec. 21, winning by 

technical fall at 182 pounds 

in the Spartans’ 49-27 dual 

meet win at Glenbrook South. 

Casey also won an individual 

title at 182 at a 16-team tournament 

at Prospect this year, 

and improved to 12-3 with 

his win against the Titans. 

Casey went 15-18 at 182 as 

a varsity sectional-qualifier 

last year before placing fifth 

at the frosh-soph state meet. 

He entered his junior year 

ready to take a big step forward 

as a varsity wrestler. 

“He wants to be a statequalifier 

and a state-placer,” 

Glenbrook North coach Jason 

Erwinski said. “He’s got the 

talent to do it. He’s putting 

points on the board. We just 

want to get him into shape 

so he can chain wrestle and 

string together two, three and 

four moves in a row. That’s 

the wish for any high school 

wrestler.” 

Casey had nine takedowns 

in his 22-6 tech fall win. 

“I learned some new technique 

and I’m trying to get to 

my (offense) and dominate 

more matches. It just takes 

time,” Casey said. “You can 

think about it over and over in 

practice but it has to become 

instinctive if you really want 

to be successful.” 

Glenbrook North won 

seven of the eleven matches 

against Glenbrook South, 

with three forfeits posted in 

the dual. Erwinski only has 

one senior in his lineup, and 

he’s happy with the effort the 

young squad has given him 

this year. 

“Our guys have been wrestling 

really well lately,” Erwinski 

said. “We went out 

there today and wrestled our 

style and if we do that, good 

things are going to happen. 

It’s a good young group of 

guys. 

“The move from JV to 

varsity is a different animal. 

We’ve got guys that wrestled 

JV last year that are starting 

to make that adjustment. 

They’re figuring it out.” 

A forfeit at 132 to start the 

night put Glenbrook North up 

6-0, and the Spartans went up 

12-0 on a first-period pin at 

138 from Benji Kubin. 

Glenbrook North’s Jinoo 

Kim and Glenbrook South’s 

Forrest Eriksson battled to a 

4-4 tie at the end of the first 

period at 145 and it was 5-5 

in the third when Eriksson 

earned a takedown and rode 

Kim out for the final minute 

for a 7-5 win. 

“He was one guy where the 

effort was definitely there,” 

Glenbrook South coach Pat 

Castillo said of Eriksson. “He 

was down and he came back, 

and it’s always good when 

guys are winning in the third 

period, especially after they 

were losing in the first.” 

Glenbrook North’s Kyle 

Williams put his side up 18-3 

with a reversal to start the 

second period and a pin at 

2:42. 

“Kyle wrestled real well,” 

Erwinski said. “He was exhausted 

but we had a tough 

week of practice. He gritted it 

out and found a way to end up 

on top.” 

After getting taken down to 

start the match at 160, Glenbrook 

South’s George Papagiannopoulos 

used a reverse, 

a cradle and a pin in the first 

period to cut the Spartans 

lead to 18-9, but that was as 

close as the Titans would get 

the rest of the night. 

Nico Jung posted a pin at 

170 for Glenbrook North to 

set up Casey’s tech fall win 

at 182, giving the Spartans a 

29-9 lead. 

Glenbrook South’s Cam 

Mercer made quick work of 

the match at 195 with a firstperiod 

pin and Trent Williams 

won an 8-0 major decision at 

220 for Glenbrook North. 

Glenbrook North forfeited 

at 285 but won three of the final 

four matches for the final 

margin, including a pin at 106 

from Raphael Galvez and a 

4-0 decision win at 120 from 

Max Sherman. Glenbrook 

South’s Nate Sullivan won by 

fall at 113 pounds. 

“We wrestled a little bit 

better as a team today,” Castillo 

said. “But while some individuals 

are taking that next 

jump, for some of them we 

have to get a little bit more on 

them and fix a few things up. 

“For the most part, the effort 

was there, but you always 

wish you got more effort 

when you lose. It’s really 

more about the technical part, 

but a little more effort in certain 

situations might have 

made the difference in a few 

matches today.”



Boys Basketball 

Titans lose nail-biter to undefeated Trevians 

Fouad Egbaria 


If someone looked at 

their records alone, you 

might have thought undefeated 

Trevian’s matchup 

against Glenbrook South 

would not be close. 

That thought would be 

wrong. 

Leading by one in the final 

minute and looking to 

get to the free-throw line, 

New Trier turned the ball 

over, giving the scrappy 

Titans a shot to win with 

10 seconds left. Glenbrook 

South’s final attempt, 

however, fell well off the 

mark, and New Trier (7- 

0) survived for a 43-42 

victory over the Titans (3- 

7) Thursday, Dec. 21, in 

Glenview. 

New Trier senior Andrew 

Kirkpatrick, a threeyear 

varsity player, went 

scoreless in the first half 

but connected when it 

counted most. 

The senior buried a three 

to tie the game halfway 

through the fourth quarter 

and a two to give New Trier 

a three-point lead with 

90 seconds remaining. 

“I don’t think it’s on me 

— all the guys on our team 

can [hit shots late],” Kirkpatrick 

said. “I had open 

shots and I made them.” 

Senior Griffin Ryan tallied 

a team-high 11 points 

for the Trevians, who last 

played Dec. 11. New Trier 

coach Scott Fricke said 

several players had been 

fighting illness in the last 

week, including Kirkpatrick. 

“I’ll tell you what, he’s 

not afraid,” Fricke said of 

Kirkpatrick, who tallied 

seven of his nine points in 

the fourth quarter. 

New Trier jumped out

South’s Stevon Boyd draws a foul. 

to an early 8-3 lead, which 

proved to be the largest 

lead either team would 

hold. The Titans fought 

back, holding New Trier 

to just nine more first-half 

points en route to a 20-17 

lead at the break. 

New Trier big men 

Spencer Boehm and Ciaran 

Brayboy each picked 

up two first-half fouls, 

with Boehm picking up a 

second four minutes into 

the game. 

“We were fortunate to 

be down three at halftime,” 

Fricke said. “Our shooters 

were getting some good 

looks and they just weren’t 

falling.” 

The Titans forced their 

Central Suburban League 

South foe to make shots 

from the outside by packing 

the paint and devoting 

three players to checking 

Brayboy down low. 

“I think we were 1-of- 

15 from three in the first 

half,” Fricke said. “That’s 

not us. We’re a good threepoint 

shooting team. We 

missed some and put our 

heads down.” 

Glenbrook South coach 

Phil Ralston, in his first 

year at South after nine 

years at Geneva, praised 

his squad’s execution of 

the defensive game plan. 

“The kids stuck to the 

game plan and that gave 

us a shot in the game,” 

Ralston said. “We knew 

that we had to close down 

the passing lanes for highlow 

action with their bigs, 

and I thought we did a 

fantastic job of covering 

Brayboy and not giving 

them any kind of passing 

lanes to be able to get him 

the ball.” 

When Brayboy wasn’t 

struggling with foul trouble, 

he offered the Trevians 

strong rim protection, 

but the junior was held 

scoreless on the night. 

“For our kids, we told 

them we needed to be 

grunts today,” Ralston 

added. “We needed to 

muck up the game a little 

bit and make sure if they 

were going to beat us they 

were going to have to 

prove it from the outside.” 

On the offensive end, 

Glenbrook South junior 

guard Max Hubbard led 

the way with 10 points, 

while fellow junior guard 

Jimmy McMahon added 

nine points. 

The Titans started one 

senior to New Trier’s 

three. Despite the Titans’ 

relative inexperience, they 

have picked up Ralston’s 

system quickly. 

“This is a team that 

if you looked at us four 

weeks ago you would say 

that this is not the same 

team,” Ralston said. “We 

showed a level of patience 

that I’m not sure I was convinced 

we were capable of 

tonight.” 

Despite taking a lead 

into halftime, the second 

quarter was a missed opportunity 

for the Titans. 

With Boehm on the bench 

and Brayboy picking up 

his second foul in the second 

quarter, the Titans 

managed to shoot just 

4-of-10 from the field. 

“You look at what happened 

in the outcome of 

the game but I’m looking at 

that second quarter where I 

felt like we could have really 

exploited having their 

bigs sit with foul trouble,” 

Ralston said. “We got the 

lead but we didn’t really 

push it to where I think it 

could have gone.” 

Fricke offered praise for 

Glenbrook South’s talent. 

“They got off to a 

rough start [this season], 

probably because of the 

transition with learning 

new stuff,” he said. “But 

they’re going to be a good 

team.” 

Both squads now have 

six days to prepare for 

holiday tournament action. 

The Trevians will head 

to the Proviso West Holiday 

Tournament, while 

South will compete in 

the 40th annual Wheeling 

Hardwood Classic. 

The Wheeling tournament 

field will be a great 

challenge for the Titans, 

Ralston said. 

“We’re getting ready for 

final exams coming back 

after the New Year,” said 

Ralston, who teaches English. 

“I look at these tournaments 

as kind of like a 

final exam. It’s like a firstsemester 

final. How are we 

going to do? I don’t know, 

we’ll have to see.”



Lundal grateful for opportunity to help Titans win 

Gary Larsen 


Glenbrook South’s 

Thomas Lundal was happy 

to find a game-winning 

overtime goal on his stick 

in a 3-2 win over New 

Trier Blue. He was also 

slightly surprised that he 

got the chance. 

“That was my first overtime 

shift this year,” Lundal 

said. “This was our 

third game going to overtime 

and our first line usually 

scores during the first 

shift in overtime.” 

Lundal’s backhand off 

a loose puck at the goalmouth 

completed a fine 

comeback effort by the Titans 

(20-12-1), who trailed 

2-0 after two periods of 

play during their Dec. 19 

game at Centennial Ice 

Rink in Wilmette. 

Senior defenseman MJ 

Jenkins had a hand in all 

three Titans goals, assisting 

on the first and third 

goals and scoring the 

game-tying goal with less 

than six minutes remaining 

in the third period. Nicolas 

Botvinnik had a goal and 

an assist and Ben Thomas 

added an assist in the win. 

Chasing two goals with 

only one period to play, 

Glenbrook South simply 

went back to basics after 

playing too much pretty 

hockey for coach Jim Philbin’s 

taste. 

“I’m proud of them for 

coming back and for not 

getting frustrated,” Philbin 

said. “But our first two periods 

were like the Globetrotters 

on ice.” 

Philbin’s message in the 

locker room before the 

third period was straight to 

the point. 

“Make it simple,” he 

dsaid. “Stop the pretty 

stuff. Control the play, like 

you have, and don’t make 

the dumb mistake of trying 

to make it too pretty. 

“Get more pucks to the 

net, crash the net, and get 

the little goals around the 

crease, and that’s what’s 

going to win this game. 

And that’s what they did.” 

The Titans gave up both 

goals in the second period, 

both from New Trier’s Michael 

Brunso. But it wasn’t 

as though Glenbrook 

South lacked scoring opportunities. 

New Trier goalie Alex 

Handwerker swallowed up 

shots to perfection through 

two periods, finishing with 

24 saves. A multitude of Titans 

shots were also either 

blocked by defensemen or 

sent just wide of net. 

“You have to take it 

for what it is,” Philbin 

said. “We played against 

a goalie that was hot. He 

played well, so give him 

credit. He kept them in the 

game.” 

Jenkins agreed but knew 

his side had to change its 

approach in the third period. 

“Their goalie made 

some really good saves but 

we lacked some urgency,” 

Jenkins said. “We needed 

to score on our opportunities 

and defensively we 

needed to cover the front 

of the net a little better. We 

really picked it up in the 

third period. We started 

scoring and we picked it 

up defensively.” 

The Titans scored their 

first goal with 11 minutes, 

11 seconds remaining in 

the game. Jenkins found 

Thomas, who swooped in 

up the right side and sent 

a perfect feed to the back 

post, with Botvinnik racing 

on to bury it.

game-tying goal at 5:47

the Titans got the gamewinner 

mid-way through 

the five-minute, three-onthree 

overtime period, set 

up by a faceoff in front of 

the New Trier goal. 

“I won the faceoff back 

to my ‘D’ and turned to my 

backhand side because I’m 

confident there,” Lundal 

said. “I took the shot on 

net, the puck was loose, I 

was right there and threw 

it to my backhand. 

“The effort was there 

and we never gave up. 

We’re a team that doesn’t 

always play a full game; 

we’ll play the first and second 

(periods) and then we 

won’t really play the third. 

Tonight we played full periods 

and never gave up. 

We just had to bury our 

opportunities.”

Sports Editor 

Lou Boudreau, Dan Issel, 

George Mikan, Isiah 

Thomas and Jerry Sloan are 

Illinois basketball greats 

have all been inducted 

into the Illinois Basketball 

Coaches Association Hall 

of Fame. 

But now they’ll have to 

move over to welcome a 

new member to the group: 

longtime sports and current 

22nd Century Media 

reporter, Loyola football 

beat writer, and Wilmette 

resident Neil Milbert. 

Earlier this month, the 

association announced its 

2018 hall of fame class, 

which includes Milbert, 

who will go in as one of 

seven media members during 

a May 5 banquet at Illinois 

State University in 

Normal. Milbert is being 

honored after many years 

at the Chicago Tribune 

and the last seven years of 

writing for 22nd Century 

Media. 

“The body of work led 

me to getting the nomination 

to the hall of fame and 

it’s humbling because it’s 

a big honor. It was unexpected,” 

Milbert said. “I 

got a lifetime achievement 

award from the National 

Turf Writers Association 

a few years ago, but this 

one means more because 

there’s more basketball 

writers in Illinois than there 

are racing writers in the entire 

country.” 

The sport of basketball 

has been a favorite of 

Milbert’s going back to a 

young age. As a child, Milbert 

was diagnosed with the 

rheumatic flu one summer, 

causing him to spend an entire 

summer in bed and really 

knocking him out from 

any sporting activities for 

two to three years. 

That, in a way, turned out 

to be a blessing in disguise. 

“I became a student of 

sports as a child because, 

when I was in bed that summer, 

I knew every player in 

baseball,” he said. 

After graduating from 

Marquette University in 

1961, a paper in Ottumwa, 

Iowa, hired the Iowa native 

to work on its news 

side, but he was only there 

for a couple months due to 

being drafted and enlisting 

in the Marine Corps. After 

six months of active duty 

and then serving four and 

a half years in the reserves, 

Milbert joined his college 

roommate in New Jersey 

and worked the sports desk 

at The Jersey Journal in 

Jersey City, New Jersey, 

beginning in September of 

1962. 

Milbert worked his way 

up to the St. Peter’s College 

beat in 1965. He held 

the beat for three years, and 

witnessed some incredible 

moments. 

“I got these guys when 

they were sophomores,” 

Milbert said. “When they 

were juniors, the [National 

Invitation Tournament] was 

a big tournament because 

the NCAA field was much 

smaller. They got invited 

to the NIT and got blown 

out by Southern Illinois. So 

low and behold, the next 

year they managed to get 

back to the NIT and their 

first game they win against 

Marshall. Second game, 

they play Duke, which was 

No. 4 in the country, and I 

thought, ‘St. Peter’s is going 

to get blown out again,’ 

because Duke had been upset 

in the ACC Tournament 

and therefore didn’t qualify 

for the NCAA Tournament. 

Low and behold, St. Peter’s 

upset Duke. 

After coming to the 

Chicago Tribune in the 

early ’70s, Milbert had 

few opportunities to cover 

basketball. He mainly followed 

high school state 

playoff games when the 

paper would have its staffers 

cover regional and sectional 

games. At the time, 

Milbert was a Blackhawks 

beat writer, as well as the 

paper’s main horse racing 

reporter. 

That was until the mid- 

’80s, when he was assigned 

the Northwestern men’s 

basketball beat. 

“One [team I’ll remember] 

was a really good 

Northwestern team that had 

a bunch of guys transfer 

out. This new group came 

in as freshmen and Ricky 

Byrdsong came in [for] his 

first year as head coach,” 

Milbert said. “They went 

undefeated in nonconference 

play but struggled in 

conference play. To make it 

to the NIT, they needed to 

go .500 and had one game 

left, against Michigan, who 

had four of the Fab Five 

remaining. It was a terrible 

matchup, but Northwestern 

took them to overtime, 

upset them and went to the 

NIT. 

“That was monumental 

see how far these guys had 

come.” 

Milbert would follow 

that up with covering the 

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 

team that 

made the NCAA title game, 

as well as sitting right in 

front of Bryce Drew when 

he hit an iconic 3-pointer 

to beat Ole Miss in the first 

round of the 1998 NCAA 

Tournament. 

“I was sitting there, thinking, 

‘Oh boy, not enough 

time, three seconds,’” Milbert 

added. “I see this guy 

wind up, throw the long 

pass the entire court, one 

of the Valpo players set it 

up to Bryce Drew and he 

hit the shot right in front 

of me. It was an incredible 

moment, I’ve never seen 

anything like that.” 

Milbert left covering college 

basketball after leaving 

the Tribune and started 

writing for 22nd Century 

Media’s North Shore papers 

in 2010. One of his 

first assignments was a 

summer league basketball 

game between Glenbrook 

South and Loyola Academy. 

He has a few high school 

basketball games he’ll always 

remember covering. 

“A memorable team 

is Steve Weissenstein’s 

GBS girls team when they 

played in a tournament 

in Schaumburg,” Milbert 

said. “They struggled there, 

but Steve said, ‘Oh, we’re 

going to be good at the end 

of the year. These are all inexperienced 

girls and I like 

some of the things I saw. I 

wouldn’t want to play us in 

February.’ 

“And he was right. They 

turned it around and really 

had a good year. That to 

me was a mark of a good 

coach.” 

Milbert noted that one 

of the major differences 

between covering high 

schools and colleges is that 

high school reporters have 

to do many things themselves. 

When covering college 

teams, reporters get 

stats handed to them and 

can request players and 

coaches to talk to through 

the media relations employees 

at the schools. 

High schools are a different 

story. 

“I’ve always had a respect 

for high school writers 

because in the old days, 

they always had to find a 

phone, to plug their computers 

in, and it’s always 

been more difficult because 

of that aspect,” he said. 

“I’ve only done a handful 

of professional games, 

but I like the high school 

game better. I like the 

coaches strategizing, things 

like that. I feel like there’s 

more coaching on the high 

school level, maybe not 

more than college but more 

than in the pros.”
