Glencoe gym’s abrupt closure leaves members in cold 

Owner: High rent forced 

business out in fall 

Megan Bernard, Editor 

Members of Power Mind & 

Body in Glencoe were shocked 

this past fall when the new gym 

abruptly shuttered. 

According to multiple former 

members, and confirmed by 

owner Rick Raschillo, patrons 

of the gym were not alerted of 

the closure and were not issued 

any refund, even after members 

paid a recent $900 fee for site 

upgrades. 

Raschillo claims refunds 

were not warranted and he did 

“the right thing.” 

The Glencoe establishment 

opened as Air Fitness in 2009 at 

686 Vernon Ave, before becoming 

MVP Fitness. Several years 

later, in October 2016, it rebranded 

as Power Mind & Body 

in the same downtown location. 

Raschillo, a longtime Glenview 

resident who owns Glencoe 

restaurant Valor, said the 

main reason for closing in September 

2017 was because of the 

“ridiculous” rent. 

Under Raschillo, Valor has 

also undergone name changes 

— from Cibo to District to Valor 

— in recent years. 

“It was $2,200 per month 

when I first opened and by the 

time I closed it was $6,000,” 

Raschillo said of the gym’s rent. 

Raschillo also said the closure 

of Einstein’s Bagels next door 

hurt his business, claiming foot 

traffic around the shopping area 

slowed, even after the rebrand. 

“After I rebranded, there was 

still so much competition in 

little gyms. Finding new people 

was hard,” he said. “There are 

too many options out there. ... 

They wanted the newest and 

best things. Maybe if the rent 

was normal we could have done 

that for them.” 

For the rebrand in 2016, Raschillo 

asked his members to 

pay a one-time assessment fee 

of $900 for improvements, including 

new flooring and paint. 

With the new name, classes 

were also being offered every 

hour, and there were three trainers 

on the gym’s staff, including 

Raschillo’s son, who did about 

95 percent of the training, Raschillo 

previously told The Anchor. 

“[Members] happily paid 

and we stayed open for another 

year,” Raschillo said. “But there 

were four women that were part 

of the problem and one didn’t 

want to pay. She got her friends 

together and 10 people quit the 

gym the day after we remodeled. 

It was a big blow. 

“I didn’t get paid in the past 

year. I had to make sure my 

trainers got their salaries.” 

In the gym’s final “three or 

four months” of operation, its 

landlord, The Friedman Group, 

let Raschillo rent the space for 

free, he said, hoping he could 

turn it around. 

The Friedman Group declined 

to comment. 

“There was no court battle,” 

Raschillo said. “We obviously 

didn’t plan on closing.” 

On June 9, 2017, however, the 

lease holder sued Raschillo for 

$31,912 for violation of contract 

in regard to the lease. 

At the time of closing, the gym 

had 19 members, Raschillo said. 

Some of those people remain 

upset about the situation. 

A Glencoe resident — who 

insisted on remaining anonymous 

for fear of retribution — 

paid $4,000 several years ago 

for a lifetime membership. 

The membership was charged 

as a one-time payment, not as 

a $299 monthly fee like other 

members paid. 

“I liked that [the gym] was 

small and not a scene,” the resident 

said. “It was a nice group of 

Glencoe regulars. But it always 

seemed like [Raschillo] was 

looking for an influx of cash. I 

never had to pay a membership 

fee again but it always seemed 

like he was trying to find new 

angles for us to pay more.” 

After Power Mind & Body closed in downtown Glencoe, its 

members were shocked when they were not alerted or refunded. 

Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

Another lifetime member — 

also asking to remain anonymous 

— “felt stuck in a way 

because you already invested.” 

“It was a good deal for us 

because it was convenient, but 

there were other problems, too,” 

the second person said. 

“After the assessment fee, 

[Raschillo] said they would be 

open for another three years at 

least,” according to the second 

source. “Had we known or had 

an inkling that that wouldn’t 

have been true, we wouldn’t 

have paid that (fee).” 

Both members said they were 

outraged when they were not issued 

any type of refund for their 

assessment fees or lifetime gym 

memberships, but Raschillo 

said “the deal was amazing.” 

“If people used [the lifetime 

membership] correctly, they 

would have made their money 

back after the first year,” he 

added, pointing out the regular 

$299 membership fee would be 

close to $4,000 for a year. “Nobody 

bought in during the last 

year. Every single person made 

their money back and at least 12 

months was paid. Nobody was at 

the break-even point.” 

Raschillo confirmed with The 

Anchor he did not issue any refunds 

to his gym members, but 

instead told his lifetime members 

he could train them for no 

charge at Equinox Fitness, the 

gym to which he now belongs. 

They would, however, have to 

pay for their own membership to 

Equinox. 

“There was plenty of options,” 

Raschillo said. “[The lifetime 

members] didn’t take any of 

them. I tried to do the right 

thing.” 

As far as the actual closure, 

members began to notice when 

gym equipment began “dissolving,” 

the first source said, but 

Raschillo didn’t notify any of 

them. 

He confirmed the same details 

with The Anchor, claiming it was 

“obvious” they were closing because 

of the missing equipment. 

Looking forward, Raschillo 

said he has no plans to open another 

gym. 

Raschillo has owned 10 different 

gyms in the past, according 

to a previous Glencoe Anchor 

article, and he has a degree in 

kinesiology and sports medicine 

from Arizona State University. 

In a contentious 2015 decision, 

the Glencoe Village Board 

awarded Raschillo a liquor license 

for Cibo, claiming he was 

“rehabilitated” from three felony 

arrests in Arizona, including 

solicitation of murder in 2001. 

Raschillo formerly owned 

now-closed Glenview businesses 

Chop it Up! and Fresh Wrap 

(rebranded restaurant in same 

location) and Fitness Cafe.

there, attendees moved 

freely from one activity to

Many guests seemed to 

stop first at the face painting 

booth. From full-face 

tigers to dolphins and 

flowers, guests enjoyed a 

variety of fun face art. 

The next stop was the 

arts and crafts table, where 

guests were equipped with 

everything they needed to 

let their winter wonderland 

imagination run wild. 

Glencoe mom Michele 

Spatzek was looking for 

something entertaining to 

do with her kids over the 

holiday weekend and decided 

to venture out to the 

Watts event. 

“It is so fun and there 

is so much for the kids to 

do,” she said. “We did the 

painting outside, which 

was so fun and unique, and 

now we are going to go 

skate.” 

Heading outside, visitors 

found amusing carnival 

games that easily 

accommodated all ages. 

The bean bag toss proved 

to be a crowd favorite and 

found both kids and adults 

laughing in their attempts 

to successfully complete 

the tossing mission. 

Still, ice took on a whole 

new meaning when kids 

and parents found themselves 

using it as “the paper 

to their paint.” Using 

colorful paints, guests participated 

in ice painting, 

where they transformed 

plain ice into a rainbow of 

colors. 

Wrapping up the outdoor 

activities was an ice 

sculpture demonstration. 

The audience watched 

intently as the sculptor 

chipped away at the ice. 

Soon, everyone was smiling 

as the final product, an 

8-foot snow man, was revealed.

Glencoe Village Board 

Residents’ water, sewer bills to increase in 2018 

Margaret Tazioli 


It looks like water and sewer 

bills are going to cost more this 

year in the Village of Glencoe. 

At its regular Jan. 18 meeting, 

the Board of Trustees voted 

to approve a quarterly water 

rate hike from $3.56 to $4.50 

per 100 cubic feet. There will 

also be a quarterly fixed charge 

based on the size of the building 

or home’s water meter. 

“The fixed charge provides 

some revenue stability and the 

volumetric charge recognizes 

the benefit a customer may experience 

through conservation,” 

assistant city manager Sharon 

Tanner said. 

The quarterly sewer charge is 

going up 2.5 percent, from $1.002 

to $1.027 per 100 cubic feet. 

For a low-level water user, 

around 1,500 cubic feet per 

quarter, the current quarterly 

rate is about $54. For that same 

user, the new rate will be about 

$68 for the volume of water used 

plus a $20 fixed charge, which 

would be about $88 total quarterly. 

That’s $34 more per quarter 

for low water usage. 

Last fall, after the Village conducted 

a water rate evaluation 

and determined the present rate 

is insufficient to fund the utility’s 

operations — let alone pay for 

the rehabilitation and eventual 

replacement of the Water Treatment 

Plant. 

“We learned through the rate 

analysis that the rate as it is today 

cannot fully fund all of our operation 

costs and infrastructure 

needs,” Tanner said. “Increased 

costs the utility has experienced 

have been greater than increases 

in its revenue through the rate.” 

Tanner projected that with the 

rate hike, the water fund’s revenue 

will be around $2.8 million 

this year — a 35 percent increase 

from last year. 

In a budget with nearly $23 

million in projected revenue and 

$25 million in projected expenditures, 

the water rate revenue 

falls under the Village’s charges 

for service, which makes up 17 

percent of total revenue.

Fiscal year 2019 budget gets approval 

Submitted by Village of 

Glencoe 

Following a discussion of 

the Preliminary Fiscal Year 

2019 Budget at the Dec. 19 

Finance Committee meeting, a 

formal presentation of the recommended 

Fiscal Year 2019 

Budget (March 1, 2018-February 

28, 2019) was made by Village 

staff at the Jan. 18 Village 

Board meeting. 

Following discussion, trustees 

unanimously voted to approve 

the budget as proposed. 

“The budget really is the 

single most important policy 

document that the Village 

Board reviews and approves 

each year,” Village Manager 

Philip Kiraly said. “The 

projects and programs we 

have planned for the coming 

year underscore the Village’s 

long-standing commitment to 

providing excellent services 

with a great emphasis on effective 

and efficient delivery 

of those services. It also provides 

resources to fund necessary 

infrastructure improvements 

and front-line equipment 

planned in the Village’s 

Community Improvement 

Program (CIP).” 

The approved Fiscal 

Year 2019 Budget includes 

$25,018,611 in expenditures 

across all funds and departments. 

A budget-to-budget 

comparison from projected 

Fiscal Year 2018 expenditures 

to those planned in Fiscal 

Year 2019 includes a 

decrease in operating expenditures 

of approximately 

$551,000 and an overall 17.8 

percent decrease in total expenditures. 

Significant long-and 

short-term savings are related 

to three major outsourcing efforts 

that took place this year: 

residential garbage collection, 

building permit plan review 

and inspection services, as well 

as 911 emergency dispatching, 

the latter in response to State 

mandate. 

Other highlights from the 

Adopted Fiscal Year 2019 Budget 

can be viewed online at 

www.villageofglencoe.org. 

The budget process begins 

in late spring of each year and 

involves Village staff working 

closely with the Finance Committee 

to review capital and 

infrastructure needs, circulate 

and evaluate a fee survey, develop 

a long-range revenue 

and expense projections and 

create a tax levy structure for 

the coming year. This year’s 

budget development process 

also included conducting a 

comprehensive Water Rate 

Analysis, from which the recommendation 

to change the 

Village’s water rate structure 

was made. 

Glencoe committee of the Whole 

In early stages, Tudor Court redesign projected at $1M 

Board requests more 

concrete cost estimates 

Margaret Tazioli 


In the latest conversation 

about improving Tudor Court — 

the street between Writer’s Theatre 

and art galleries in downtown 

Glencoe — Village trustees 

reviewed the project’s progress 

and asked the city manager to 

keep working on it. 

At the Jan. 18 Committee of 

the Whole meeting, Teska associates, 

an Evanston-based urban 

planning firm, presented its 

latest designs to the Board of 

Trustees. The updated design included 

feedback from the public 

and some rough cost estimates. 

Based upon the initial rough estimate, 

the project is looking to 

cost around $1 million — possibly 

more. 

Trustees discussed the initial 

cost estimates and decided they 

needed firmer estimates and a 

better understanding of the Village’s 

budget and priorities before 

anything more could be 

decided. 

“The board has to get comfortable 

being able to think ‘Yes, we 

can justify that kind of investment,’” 

Village Manager Philip 

Kiraly said. “And one of the 

question marks you don’t have 

an answer to yet is the cost of the 

component pieces of it. This is an 

aerial look; we haven’t asked Teska 

to generate what these things 

might look like. We haven’t gotten 

into a design element yet.” 

With the board’s blessing, 

Teska associates will now draw 

up a more detailed list of cost estimates 

and some more concrete 

plans with input from the park 

district. 

At minimum, the plans would 

leave the existing roadway intact 

— apart from resurfacing — and 

just add some new site features, 

like benches and arches. At most, 

Glencoe Drive could be terminated 

and replaced with a small 

park and Tudor Court could be 

reconstructed as a street/plaza. 

One of the primary goals for 

the space is to be a comfortable 

and safe environment for pedestrians, 

as well as a gathering 

space that is celebratory of arts 

and culture without sacrificing 

any of the present parking. 

One of the primary concerns 

merchants raised was about 

parking. 

“The hard part about parking is 

there’s never enough where you 

want it when you want it,” Kiraly 

said. “The message that rang 

pretty loud and clear throughout 

all of the public meetings is that 

every parking space is valuable. 

In what was put together here, 

the idea of doing as little harm as 

possible is what drove us toward 

this concept.” 

The board seemed interested 

but hesitant to get too excited 

without seeing some more concrete 

cost estimates. 

City manager Kiraly will be 

working with Teska to get some 

of these questions answered in 

coming months.

New Trier accepts George Orwell Award on behalf of alumnae 

Submitted by New Trier 

When Dr. Richard Sobel 

learned he was receiving 

the prestigious George Orwell 

Award from the National 

Council of Teachers 

of English, he immediately 

thought of the school that 

sparked his interest in political 

science — his alma 

mater, New Trier High 

School. 

Sobel, a political scientist 

who has served as a 

visiting scholar at the Buffett 

Center at Northwestern 

University, could not 

attend the NCTE Annual 

Convention late last year, 

so he reached out to New 

Trier to accept the award 

on his behalf. 

The 1967 New Trier 

alumnus, who is also a 

Wilmette resident and 

author, won the 2017 

George Orwell Award for 

Distinguished Contribution 

to Honesty and Clarity 

in Public Language 

for his book, “Citizenship 

as Foundation of Rights: 

Meaning for America.” 

“My connection to this 

book goes through New 

Trier,” Sobel said, explaining 

how he was first introduced 

to the literature 

of political science in an 

elective course at the high 

school. “These were the 

fundamental questions that 

I was first introduced to at 

New Trier.” 

New Trier English faculty 

member Ariell Bachman 

read Sobel’s remarks 

at the convention, and the 

NCTE mailed him the 

award, which recognizes 

writers who have made

outstanding contributions 

to the critical analysis of 

public discourse. 

Sobel’s work includes 

policy analysis of privacy 

and confidentiality issues, 

particularly on political 

and constitutional questions 

about governmental 

databanks and identification 

schemes. His book 

serves as a social critique 

and impetus for social justice; 

its implications and 

relevance reach beyond 

our borders and address 

a global issue, the NCTE 

said. 

Sobel hopes current students 

will want to read his 

book, especially because it 

uses clear language, which 

Orwell himself often emphasized. 

“My book deals with a 

lot of fundamental political 

issues, the sort of things 

you learn about in Intro to 

American History,” Sobel 

said. “They seem really 

abstract, but have real political 

meaning.”

From Page 8 

“We plan to continue our 

efforts to review and align 

user rates and fees with 

service delivery costs,” 

Tanner said. 

Some of the areas the 

city manager’s office anticipates 

reviewing this 

year include building permit 

fees, sewer charges 

and some ancillary fees. 

“This is not the end of 

the water rate increase for 

awhile,” Village Trustee 

Peter Mulvaney said. 

“This is the beginning of a 

series of changes.” 

Topics, like exemptions 

for seniors or possible discounts 

on rates, will be up 

for discussion later this year 

as part of a more detailed 

discussion on a multi-year 

rate increase plan.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Murder-suicide witness hit 

shooter with car 

The shooter in a Jan. 3 

murder-suicide in Lake 

Forest was struck by a 

vehicle after killing his 

ex-girlfriend and himself 

in the parking lot of the 

apartment the former couple 

once shared, according 

to new information from 

the Lake Forest Police Department. 

Further investigation 

into the shooting revealed 

that a third party, a U.S. 

Navy member, co-worker 

of VanLandingham’s and 

Highland Park resident, 

witnessed the incident 

and, out of fear for his life, 

drove his Land Rover into 

the shooter, Ryan Zike, 33, 

just after Zike shot himself 

in the head, according to a 

press release. 

The witness is a 37-yearold 

man who arrived at 

VanLandingham’s apartment 

in the 200 block of 

E. Deerpath Road on the 

morning of Jan. 3 to drive 

her to work. 

The release also reveals 

that Zike, of Louisville, 

Ky., and VanLandingham 

lived together for a period 

of time in VanLandingham’s 

apartment. In October 

2017, Zike moved out. 

Zike, who allegedly shot 

VanLandingham, 27, multiple 

times in the incident, 

reportedly drove to Illinois 

and stayed at an unknown 

location on Jan. 2. 

The next morning, Zike 

approached VanLandingham 

as she was leaving 

her apartment for work 

just prior to 6:20 a.m., 

Zike and VanLandingham 

engaged in a brief conversation 

in the parking area 

of the apartment complex, 

when Zike produced a 

semi-automatic pistol and 

shot her several times. 

After shooting Van- 

Landingham, Zike shot 

and killed himself. 

The witness was reportedly 

parked in a position 

where his headlights illuminated 

VanLandingham 

and Zike during the initial 

conversation and the 

shooting. 

The witness told investigators 

he felt Zike was going 

to turn the gun on him; 

therefore, he made the decision 

to hit the man with 

his vehicle.

to the Wilmette 

Police Department. 

Dinah Larson, 27, allegedly 

used a knife to stab 

her 60-year-old mother 

multiple times while in 

bed Thursday morning, 

Jan. 18, in the 1900 block

Township accepts applications for senior tax deferrals 

Seniors can defer 

up to $5K in 

property taxes 

Submtited by New Trier 

Township 

Senior citizens 65 years 

of age or older who are 

struggling with property 

taxes can defer payment of 

their property taxes until 

their homes or condominiums 

are sold. 

According to Jan Churchwell, 

New Trier Township 

Assessor, the Senior Citizen 

Tax Deferral Program 

allows seniors to defer as 

much as $5,000 of their 

property tax bill every year. 

To qualify for the deferral 

program, seniors must have 

annual household income 

of less than $55,000, have 

equity in their homes that 

exceeds the sum of property 

taxes deferred, and have 

lived in their homes for at 

least three years. Two-flats 

and other properties that 

generate rental income are 

not eligible for the program. 

Properties held in 

a trust are also ineligible, 

although there are some exceptions 

to this rule. Applications 

must be submitted 

by March 1, 2018. 

The tax deferral program 

is essentially a loan from 

the state that is charged 

simple interest of 6 percent 

per year. To assure repayment, 

a lien is placed on 

the senior’s home that will 

prevent it from being sold 

until the loan is paid. 

“The thought of having 

a lien placed on one’s 

home can be unsettling, but 

a home mortgage is also a 

lien on the home, and most 

people don’t view mortgages 

negatively. Liens, 

whether for mortgages or 

property taxes, are merely 

protection for a lender that 

ensures that the loan is repaid,” 

Churchwell said. 

There are some circumstances, 

however, where 

senior citizens might not 

want a lien on their homes. 

Seniors uncertain about 

whether to apply can speak 

with the New Trier Township 

Assessor’s office, but 

should also consider discussing 

the matter with 

legal/financial advisers or 

family members. 

Assessor Churchwell also 

advises those interested in 

the deferral program to apply 

for other tax benefits 

available to senior citizens. 

“If you are eligible for 

the deferral, you should 

also be eligible for the Senior 

Freeze and the Senior 

Exemption,” she said. “By 

applying for the other senior 

benefits, you will reduce 

your property tax liability, 

which may reduce 

the deferred tax that will 

eventually be repaid.” 

Senior citizens with additional 

questions about the 

deferral program can phone 

the New Trier Township 

Assessor’s Office at (847) 

446-8200 or visit at 739

Basketball bash sheds light on Alzheimer’s disease 

Glencoe resident 

spearheads annual 

fundraiser 

Alexa Burnell 


North Shore Country 

Day School students spent 

the day of Saturday, Jan. 

20, honoring the school’s 

motto to live and serve 

by hosting the 6th annual 

Dunk Alzheimer’s Basketball 

Bash fundraiser, 

bringing awareness to a 

deadly disease that is the 

sixth leading cause of 

death in the United States. 

The event was spearheaded 

by NSCDS alumnus 

Johnathan Segal, of 

Glencoe, a 2015 graduate, 

whose own grandmother 

was diagnosed with early-onset 

Alzheimer’s 15 

years ago, at the young 

age of only 60. 

“I was originally inspired 

by all the events I 

saw encouraging people 

to wear pink for breast 

cancer awareness,” Segal 

said. “When my own 

grandmother was diagnosed 

so early in life with 

Alzheimer’s, I thought, 

‘there must be some way 

we can create the same 

level of awareness for Alzheimer’s 

as there is for 

breast cancer.’ I consulted 

with the school about 

turning our annual day of 

basketball into a fundraiser 

for Alzheimer’s awareness. 

Over the years, the 

event has grown, thanks 

to an excellent committee 

of students who work hard 

to see that the event exists 

and evolves each year.” 

One of the individuals 

on the committee is Segal’s 

sister, Caroline, who 

is currently a sophomore. 

“I wanted to see that 

my brother’s original plan 

Students (left to right) Andrew Karmin, Katie Nolan and Alex Winslow announce 

winners of the halftime raffle at Dunk Alzheimer’s Saturday, Jan. 21, at North Shore 

Country Day School. Photos by Rhonda Holcomb/22nd Century Media 

continued after he graduated,” 

Caroline Segal 

said. “We are very lucky 

to have such a great team 

who works so hard to see 

this event is a success year 

after year. 

“There is no better feeling 

than seeing an idea 

turn into a movement for 

positive change.” 

The student-run event 

is multi-faceted. Months 

prior to the actual day, 

committee members design 

and sell T-shirts. 

The students also work 

with local vendors such 

as U Dawg U, providing 

food to guests on the day 

of the event, and there are 

raffles and chances to win 

prizes for guest throughout 

the day too. 

To date, NSCDS students 

have raised $30,000, 

with all proceeds donated 

to the Alzheimer’s Association. 

Sari Eilon, external relations 

coordinator for the 

Alzheimer’s Association, 

said that working with 

NSCDS students has been 

nothing short of “awesome.” 

“The students are incredibly 

polished, well 

spoken, drive and passionate,” 

Eilon said. “I am 

amazed at their ideas and 

compassion towards the 

topic itself. I can’t tell you 

how helpful it is to have 

young people involved in 

bringing awareness to a 

disease that they may not 

always consider. They 

have made it their mission 

to not only become involved 

themselves, but to 

inspire the entire student 

body to do the same.” 

Senior Grace Kayser, of 

Glencoe, was one of the 

main organizers for this 

years’ event, for her, the 

desire to bring awareness 

is personal. 

“My own grandfather 

has been diagnosed with 

Alzheimer’s,” Kayser 

said. “It has been very 

good for me and for my 

entire family to have me 

involved in this mission. 

It’s a devastating illness, 

and the only control 

families have is to bring 

awareness and help fund 

research, so that we can 

put an end to a disease 

that affects so many.” 

Perhaps one of the most 

touching experiences for 

Kayser occurred at recent 

event, when the committee 

spoke to the entire student 

body about the purpose 

of the day. 

“When I asked if anyone 

out there knew of someone 

suffering from Alzheimer’s, 

I was shocked 

to see how many hands 

went up,” Kayser said. “It 

goes to show that more 

NSCDS students in charge of the food and spirit wear

Ally McKeown takes a shot at the free-throw line. 

than ever, there needs to 

be more research, so that 

we can find a cure and put 

an end to this disease.” 

When Sophie Hiland 

was asked to sit on the 

committee, she enthusiastically 

agreeing to be part 

of the mission. She and 

Caroline Segal also serve 

on the Team Up Against 

Alzheimer’s Youth 

Board, working outside 

of NSCDS to continue the 

fight against the disease. 

For Hiland, the mission to 

spread awareness compliments 

her belief in living 

out the school’s motto. 

“Our school teaches us 

the importance of being 

involved in the world we 

live in. Bringing awareness 

to Alzheimer’s is 

reflective of that belief,” 

Hiland said. “I’m fortunate 

to not be personally 

touched by Alzheimer’s, 

but the same is not true 

for many of my friends. 

When I see them or their 

families struggle, I’m motivated 

to use my voice to 

make a difference.” 

Athletic Director Patrick 

McHugh said watching 

the students run the 

entire event, empowered 

by the chance to make a 

difference, is most notable. 

“The students run this 

day and I love seeing 

the connection they are 

making to a disease that 

typically affects an older 

population. Having young 

people bring awareness to 

Alzheimer’s and shedding 

light on how it affects all 

those involved, is very 

meaningful and reflects 

our ‘Live and Serve’ motto 

that we hold dear.”

Thank you to the 

dedicated winter helpers 

Kelly Anderson 

Contributing Columnist 

Glencoe resident 

Nearly six years 

ago, me and my 

husband made the 

joyful decision that we 

would employ a snow removal 

service. Yes, “joyful” 

is the important word 

here because it meant that 

as we juggled grad school 

and a newborn baby, that 

we would have a little 

help during the brutal 

Midwest winters. 

For a long time, this 

plan was nothing short 

of delightful. Whenever 

more than 3 inches of 

snow stacked up, our 

driveway was plowed and 

sidewalks shoveled. And 

so the years moved right 

along, we moved into a 

new home with a much 

larger driveway in the 

Village of Glencoe. 

I’ll confess: I got used 

to this luxury. So used 

to it, that I settled into a 

new normal of stress-free 

snow removal. Blizzard? 

No worries. Thundersnow? 

No big deal. The 

snow removal team was 

always around for a 

rescue and often it took 

place in the earliest morning 

hours, the logic being 

that residents could then 

easily exit their driveways 

in time for their 

morning commutes. 

Last week, a sizable 

snowfall hit the North 

Shore right around the 

time my husband hopped 

on a plane for a business 

trip. As he cruised toward 

sunny, snow-free Florida, 

the flakes continued to 

fall … and fall … and 

fall. 

It was then that I found 

myself scratching my 

head. 

“Hmmm, did we reemploy 

the snow removal 

service this year?” I 

thought to myself. 

We hadn’t had a lot 

of snow yet so I couldn’t 

recall with clarity. But 

one thing I knew for sure: 

there was 5 inches in my 

driveway and no sign of a 

snow plow. 

So I grabbed a shovel. 

I rounded up my kids and 

piled on a closet-full of 

winter gear. Wobbling 

around like down-filled 

marshmallows with pompom 

hats, we got to work. 

I assigned the front steps 

and patio to the little 

ones, and I tackled the 

beast of a driveway on 

my own. 

It was a riot. With quiet 

concentration my 2-yearold 

and 5-year-old shoveled 

impressively (had I 

only known earlier that 

this chore was the remedy 

to their loud rough-housing). 

Worrying about the 

cold or my kids claiming 

instant boredom, I took to 

jogging while shoveling 

long strips of snow. Holy 

cardio, indeed. 

When our work was 

finished, we high-fived, 

trudged into the house and 

stripped off our wet winter 

gear into one big pile. The 

snow continued to fall. 

The next morning, I 

awoke earlier than normal 

to shovel alone while my 

children slept. It was dark 

and pin-drop quiet. When 

I finished, I gripped my 

shovel and looked around 

at the frigid, wintry earth. 

It was calm and stunningly 

peaceful. Amidst 

the chill and some seriously 

sore muscles, I felt 

grateful. 

Grateful for the helpers 

that ride throughout the 

night or wake extra early 

to bring aid during the 

winter. Grateful for all the 

times I was able to sleep 

in and be worry-free. 

Grateful for the people 

that keep my driveway 

safe and the roads safer in 

Glencoe. 

Thank you for reminding 

me of how tough your 

job is and how dedicated 

you are to doing it well.

Thankful for low police

Megan Bernard 


As recent weeks 

have passed, more 

and more breaking 

news alerts have piled 

up in my email. 

Those alerts — some 

startling with “murder” 

and “stabbing” in their 

headlines — are coming 

from our 22nd Century 

Media Plus Program, 

where readers can sign 

up for an account to view 

stories online, receive 

breaking news alerts like 

these and even more. 

Luckily though, these 

emails aren’t coming 

from The Glencoe Anchor 

Plus, rather our sister papers 

throughout the North 

Shore. 

These nearby breaking 

stories, like the murdersuicide 

case that occurred 

in Lake Forest and the 

daughter who stabbed 

her mother in Wilmette, 

can be read in our News 

From Your Neighbors 

feature on Page 11. My 

colleagues have done an 

excellent job reporting 

these and also staying 

on top of them for any 

updates. 

As I proudly publish 

their work in this weekly 

feature and read their full 

stories online, I can’t help 

but think back to here, 

relatively safe Glencoe. 

I feel lucky that I do 

not have to report these 

types of major new stories 

here; they are horrific 

and awfully sad to detail 

for readers in print. 

Sure, writing these 

stories up may give a 

reporter an adrenaline 

high, but when you think 

about the actual people 

involved, it’s troublesome. 

Which leads me to 

question: What’s going 

on with the crime on the 

North Shore? 

Has Glencoe always 

been this low compared 

to the other towns? 

If you take a look at 

our police reports (Page 6 

this week), the only reoccurring 

theme you’ll find 

throughout the year is 

stolen vehicles. There are 

few and far between major 

arrests and/or violent 

crimes — thankfully. 

I’ve even gotten to 

the point of just saving a 

couple inches of column 

space for these reports, 

knowing there won’t be 

many to publish. 

Pride yourself of this. If 

you didn’t already know 

it, in my opinion, you’re 

living in one of the safest 

communities in the North 

Shore. Let’s keep it that 

way.

Vinyl Schminyl Radio” on

Bob Stern grew up listening 

to Chicago radio. It 

was only a matter of time 

before he made a career 

out of it. 

The Glencoe resident 

said he was always intrigued 

by radio, making 

visits to Chicago often 

as a child to witness live 

broadcasts. Once he went 

off to school at the University 

of Illinois Urbana- 

Champaign, he made it 

his No. 1 passion. Today, 

he hosts his own podcast, 

Vinyl Schminyl Radio, 

which has reached nearly 

1 million downloads. 

“At school, I began 

working for the student-run 

station called 

WPGU,” Stern said of his 

first radio job. “It was one 

of the only commercial 

radio stations run by students 

in the country. We 

broke a lot of music on 

PGU. It was when classic 

rock was new.” 

After many fond 

memories working for 

WPGU, Stern sought out 

a radio job after graduation, 

landing at WXRD 

in Woodstock. There, he 

was “the morning guy” 

for several years, but always 

wanted to break 

into the bigger market of 

Chicago. 

“I told myself if I don’t 

get into a bigger market 

by the time I’m 25 

years old, I’m going to 

go into sales,” Stern said. 

“I didn’t want to be one 

of those radio guys who 

jumps from small market 

to small market. I didn’t 

want to be a gypsy.” 

Coincidentally, the day 

after Stern’s 25th birthday, 

he started in radio 

sales. For many years 

later, he sold radio time to 

advertisers, then later got 

into more tangible sales 

with selling professional 

audio visual products. 

While his career revolved 

around the world 

of radio, it didn’t necessarily 

give him the airtime 

he craved. So, eight years 

ago, he began the podcast 

he calls Vinyl Schminyl 

Radio in April 2010. 

Originally, Vinyl 

Schminyl started as 

a Monday through Friday 

“classic deep cut” of 

the day, where he played 

one song and talked about 

its back story, where it 

charted, the motivation 

behind it and some history 

of the artist — “more than 

any radio announcer will 

talk about,” he said. 

That “deep cut” still exists 

today, plus some thematic 

weeks focusing on 

a particular year or topic. 

Then there is also The 

Vinyl Schminyl Radio 

Hour, a longer version of 

his podcast hosted once a 

week. 

“I play more music in 

the hour and I don’t go 

into the back story that 

great of a deal,” Stern 

said. 

After he launched the 

hour-long podcast, Stern 

noticed the downloads 

started to pile up. So

much that he calculated 

them: he was getting as 

many downloads in one 

month than he was previously 

receiving within a 

six-month period. 

“There are countries 

around the world that I 

didn’t even think played 

classic rock music, like 

Iran or Japan, who were 

and still are downloading 

my podcast,” he added. 

“There are some foreigners 

that are looking 

at Facebook or trolling 

the internet and they are 

looking for classic rock. 

It’s a big thing in this 

big world that’s not accessible 

to them so they 

found me.”

In Memoriam 

Roland Calhoun 

Glencoe native 

and former Village 

President Roland Blanchard 

Calhoun died Jan. 10 in Centennial, 

Col. A memorial service is 

set for 2 p.m. Feb. 3 at Glencoe 

Union Church. Calhoun was 

born on Nov. 30, 1925, in Evanston 

Hospital (where he was the 

biggest baby born up until that 

time, at 10 pounds, 4 ounces). 

Roland was the eighth child of 

James Kent Calhoun, and the 

fourth child of JK’s second wife, 

Blanche Hurford. Calhoun was 

raised on Greenwood Avenue 

in Glencoe and graduated from 

New Trier High School at 16. He 

attended the University of Arizona, 

where he was in the country’s 

last ROTC cavalry unit, then 

joined the Navy in 1944. He enrolled 

at Northwestern University 

after the war, earning a degree 

in electrical engineering in 1949. 

He met his future wife, Shirley 

Somers, at Northwestern; they 

married in 1950. After graduation, 

Calhoun worked for Commonwealth 

Edison, then moved 

to Mills-Winfield Engineering 

Sales, where he remained until 

he retired as the president in 

1988. He and Shirley moved to 

Glencoe in 1952 and raised their 

five children there. Calhoun held 

various public positions, starting 

with the presidency of the Glencoe 

Park and Recreation District 

Board, which he left in 1968 to 

become Glencoe Village President 

from 1968-1976. He was on 

the board of the Harris Bank of 

Glencoe for 20 years, raised significant 

funds for the new North 

Shore Senior Center as a member 

of its associate board, and 

was always active in the Glencoe 

Union Church, where he joined 

the choir at the age of 5 and held 

practically every volunteer position, 

including guiding younger 

generations as leader of Youth 

Fellowship. But his most highprofile 

position was on the antique 

high bicycle that he rode 

in every Glencoe Fourth of July 

Parade for decades. Calhoun 

and Shirley moved to Northbrook 

in 1996, then to Centennial 

in 2012, where they joined 

the Holly Creek community and 

became members of the First 

Presbyterian Church of Littleton 

choir. Calhoun loved trains, 

music, logical thinking, building 

and repairing anything, his communities, 

his family and his God. 

His mantra was: “Doing good, 

having fun, maybe both.” He is 

survived by his wife, Shirley; his 

five children, Geoffrey Calhoun 

(married to Deborah) of Conifer, 

Col.; Patricia Calhoun of 

Denver; Susan Nicholl (married 

to Matthew) of Framingham, 

Mass.; Catherine Calhoun (married 

to Nathan Ward) of Brooklyn; 

Donna Weinstock (married 

to Ray), a dozen grandchildren 

and six great-grandchildren. In 

lieu of flowers, memorial contributions 

can be made to the 

Glencoe Union Church, the Seeley 

Lake Fire Fund at Missoula 

United Way or Step-Denver.org.

be hosting 

Cardinal 

Blase J. Cupich, 

Archbishop 

of Chicago, at 7 

p.m. Monday, Jan. 29. 

The Cardinal’s presentation 

is titled: “What 

Does Outreach Mean in

Dialogue?” This will be 

the first time that Cardinal 

Cupich has spoken at 

a synagogue on the North 

Shore of Chicago since 

his elevation to Cardinal 

in 2016.

million times from Stern’s 

website at www.vinylschminyl.com, 

www. 

tuneinradio.com and 

iTunes. There are about 

1,200 of Stern’s shows 

also archived there. 

One of his shows — 

an interview with Billy 

Corgan, formerly of The 

Smashing Pumpkins — got 

20,000 downloads alone. 

“I actually met Billy 

Corgan in Highland Park 

and he agreed to an interview 

for my show,” Stern 

His presentation will include 

a formal address, as 

well as time for questions 

and answers. This event 

is open to the entire community. 

“North Shore Congregation 

Israel has enjoyed 

a long-standing and wonderful 

relationship with 

the Archdiocese of Chicago, 

and we are deeply 

grateful to Cardinal Cupich 

for taking time out of 

his incredibly busy schedule 

to share his reflections 

on building interreligious 

connections in the 21st 

century,” said Rabbi Wendi 

Geffen, senior rabbi of 

North Shore Congregation 

Israel. 

As a synagogue, North 

Shore Congregation Israel 

is deeply committed 

to advancing interfaith 

relationships across Chicagoland, 

and Cardinal 

Cupich’s visit offers the 

entire North Shore suburban 

community the pow- 

said. “We talked about 

classic rock in general, 

his music and his tea shop 

(Madame ZuZu’s in Highland 

Park). ... After that, 

he hosted me for a couple 

of classic rock talks at 

the tea shop for recorded 

broadcasts.” 

As far as recording the 

actual podcast goes, “it’s 

a process that I could now 

do in my sleep,” Stern 

said. The podcasts are 

recorded at his Glencoe 

home and uploaded onto 

a server, which later posts 

them to websites. 

Looking forward, Stern

Quick Bites 

Bacon mania runs wild on North Shore 

Staff Report 

In the late 1990s, enthusiasm 

for bacon seemed to 

hit a fever pitch here in the 

United States. Now, years 

later, it doesn’t appear that 

what some have coined 

“bacon mania” is slowing 

down anytime soon. 

Bacon is so popular that 

it even has its own day on 

Dec. 30. While some argue 

for or against the health 

merits of the salt-cured 

pork, few outright dislike 

the taste. Even vegetarians 

get in on the fun by adding 

meatless bacon knockoffs 

to the diet. 

Finding ways to slip 

bacon into every dish is a 

challenge many chefs are 

more than willing to take 

on. Last week, 22nd Century 

Media editors ventured 

out to different North 

Shore establishments to get 

their bacon fill and taste 

some unique creations. The 

results were delicious. 

Bacon pancakes — Walker 

Bros., Wilmette 

Bacon and pancake lovers, 

rejoice. I introduce 

you to the ultimate two-inone: 

the bacon pancakes at 

Walker Bros. The Original 

Pancake House. 

The Wilmette restaurant’s 

manager, Tom 

Zehnder, said the restaurant 

has served up the speciality 

pancakes for as long as 

he could remember. And, 

that’s not by chance, but by 

choice. 

“We make maybe 35 

orders or more a day,” 

Zehnder said. “It comes in 

a close second as the most 

popular dish to our apple 

pancakes.” 

When ordered, customers 

can expect six fresh 

pancakes to come straight 

from the kitchen’s griddle. 

The fresh bacon is sliced 

and added to the pancake 

batter — a secret recipe — 

just for this dish. 

“We’re not going the 

cheap route here. We actually 

use the same bacon 

that would be served as 

a side, not just dry bacon 

bits,” Zehnder added. 

When I tried the pancakes 

for myself, I could 

tell. The bacon wasn’t 

overly cooked or sparse. 

The flavor wasn’t odd either; 

the bacon complemented 

the pancake nicely. 

It also came with a side of 

maple syrup and whipped 

butter, which provided a 

sweet flavor to the more savory 

pancake. 

The bacon overload 

doesn’t stop there. Recently, 

the restaurant’s bacon 

cheddar omelette was featured 

on Food Network’s 

“The Best Thing I Ever 

Ate.” 

For more information, 

call (847) 251-6000 or 

visit www.walkerbros. 

net. The restaurant is open 

daily from 6:30 a.m.-9 

p.m. at 153 Green Bay 

Road, Wilmette. There are 

also locations in Highland 

Park, Glenview, Arlington 

Heights, Lake Zurich, Lincolnshire 

and Schaumburg. 

Story by Contributing Editor 

Megan Bernard 

The Defibrillator — Chief’s 

Pub, Lake Forest 

Chief’s Pub in Lake Forest 

put its own spin on nachos 

by substituting a few 

ingredients and changing 

its name. 

At Chief’s Pub, 502 N. 

Western Ave., Lake Forest, 

guests can try the Defibrillator 

appetizer ($8.99), 

which substitutes nachos 

for tater tots and ground 

beef for bits of bacon. The 

dish is covered with cheddar 

cheese and jalapenos. 

The bacon is cut up into 

tiny chewy pieces making 

it easy to dive into. The 

tater tots are soft and are a 

great combination with the 

melted cheese. 

Joe Knesley, owner at 

Chief’s Pub, said the dish 

was coined by his father 

and former owner, Chuck 

Knesley. 

“My dad loves bacon 

and he is kind of nutty. He 

wanted to make nachos 

with tater tots and we chose 

to put bacon on it instead of 

pulled pork [or other traditional 

meat toppings on nachos],” 

he said. 

The name ‘Defibrillator’ 

comes from a device used 

by paramedics when a patient 

is having a heart attack. 

Joe Knesley said the 

staff at Chief’s Pub know 

this is not the healthiest of 

dishes and many people 

look at it and think “heart 

attack,” which is how it got 

its name. 

Chief’s Pub is open from 

11 a.m.-1 a.m. Monday- 

Saturday and 11 a.m.-11 

p.m. Sunday. For more 

information, visit www. 

chiefspub.com or call (847)

Bacon-wrapped dates — 

210 Live, Highwood 

Unique bacon appetizer? 

Live music? Look no further 

than 210 Live, 210 

Green Bay Road, Highwood. 

The restaurant/concert 

venue’s menu offers a lot, 

but perhaps its most unique 

offering is the baconwrapped 

dates ($9). The 

appetizer is complete with 

marcona almond-stuffed 

Medjool dates wrapped in 

house smoked cherrywood 

bacon and a red pepper puree. 

Fruit and bacon are an 

unlikely pair, but the sweet, 

salty and savory combo 

makes for a memorable 

experience. The marcona 

almond center adds a slight 

crunch to the dish. 

It comes with six dates, 

so getting two orders may 

be wise if your group is 

larger than two. 

The live music venue 

seeks to offer more than 

your standard music venue. 

It has a full kitchen and 

menu, a full bar staff and an 

area to sit or a dance floor 

to move your feet. 

Chris Nibeck, one of the 

partners at 210 Live, said 

the bacon-wrapped dates 

are easily one of the most 

popular menu items. The 

dish is also gluten-free. 

You’ll come for the music 

and stay for the food ... 

or vice versa. 

Nibeck said the restaurant 

is changing its name 

from 210 to 210 Live to 

emphasize the music aspect. 

210 Live’s hours are 

5-10:30 p.m. Wednesday- 

Thursday, 5 p.m.-1 a.m. Friday-Saturday 

and 5-10:30 

p.m. Sunday. It is closed 

Monday and Tuesday.

Grilled cheese and 

bacon — Fred’s Garage, 

Winnetka 

Grilled cheese — it’s 

practically the quintessential 

nostalgic American 

sandwich that fits appetites 

best when craving something 

deliciously gooey and 

perfectly crispy. And, when 

achieving that ideal butterto-bread 

ratio outside all 

while balancing the perfect 

Bacon pancakes ($8.50) are available at Walker Bros.

other locations. Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media

date, wrapped in a house smoked cherrywood bacon,

Century Media 

amount of cheese inside, 

you’ve got a comfort food 

staple. 

When Fred’s Garage 

opened this fall, the goal 

was to bring American favorites 

to an establishment 

that could quickly become 

a neighborhood staple. 

And, what comfort food 

menu would be complete 

without grilled cheese? 

But, at Fred’s, not only 

can you have a yummy 

plate of their grilled cheese, 

but you can also throw another 

American favorite — 

bacon — into the mix. 

The grilled cheese with 

bacon ($14.50) consists of 

sourdough bread cooked 

on the griddle with soft, 

creamy havarti cheese and 

smoked cheddar cheese, 

and long, crispy strips 

of bacon pressed in the 

middle. Then, the outside 

of the bread is generously 

crusted with Swiss cheese 

and fried to a crisp. 

General Manager Cary 

Michael said the grilled 

cheese with bacon was a 

recent menu add-on and so 

far, has been a big hit. 

“We’re actually listening 

to a lot of what the neighborhood 

and the regular 

customers are giving us 

feedback-wise,” he said. 

“We’ve made a ton of 

changes to the menu since 

we opened, so essentially, 

it’s a whole new menu. 

More comfort foods, homey, 

elevated classics, stuff 

of that nature.” 

Fred’s Garage, 574 

Green Bay Road, is open 

4:30-11 p.m. Monday- 

Thursday, 4:30 p.m.-midnight 

Friday-Saturday and 

4:30-9 p.m. Sunday. For

Kulp is a member of the 

New Trier fencing team. 

When did you start 

fencing and why? 

I started fencing the summer 

before my sophomore 

year at New Trier 

because I had tried every 

other sport before and 

none seemed as appealing 

as dueling people with 

steel blades. 

What’s your favorite 

part about fencing? 

My favorite part of fencing 

is the incredible feeling 

when you master a new 

move that lets you get 

around your opponent’s 

sword and score a touch 

on him. It feels great to 

see your own performance 

improving. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after an 

event? 

On the bus on the way 

back from every tournament, 

we sing along to 

whatever song we decide 

to play. It’s a great way to 

bond with the team and 

listen to great songs that 

your peers enjoy. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

Most people don’t know 

that I have two pet rats 

named Jolene and Nougat. 

They are by far the most 

fun and intelligent pets that 

I’ve ever had. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the world, 

where would it be and 

why? 

If I could go anywhere in 

the world, I would go to 

Morocco. The weather is 

incredible and the scenery 

is breathtaking. I hiked 

through the Moroccan 

desert when I was younger 

and it was by far one of my 

favorite experiences. 

What’s the best part 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

The best part about being 

a New Trier athlete is the 

people who surround me 

as a result. The competitive 

atmosphere on the fencing 

team has motivated me to 

better myself alongside 

my peers. In addition, the 

fencing coaches are incredible 

teachers and mentors. 

Shoutout to Shawn Smith, 

the best foil coach around. 

What’s the hardest 

part about your sport? 

The hardest part about 

fencing is the wear and 

tear from practicing so 

much. Just about every 

fencer gets injured at one 

point or another. It can 

be in the knees, shins 

and feet. 

If you had one super 

power, what would it 

be and why? 

If I could have a super 

power, it would be to slow 

down time; fencing would 

be a lot easier if I could see 

my opponent’s split second 

reactions in slow motion 

Photo Submitted 

and be able to avoid their 

blade as a result. 

What has been your 

favorite moment at 

New Trier? 

My favorite moment at 

New Trier was when I 

got to listen to Mongolian 

Throat singing during 

International Music Day; 

the singer had an incredible 

voice that I could hope 

to match. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten and 

why was it from? 

The best advice I’ve ever 

gotten has been from my 

coach Shawn Smith. He 

told me once “fence one 

touch at a time.” In essence, 

this means that no 

matter how many tasks 

ahead of you there are, you 

have to focus on one at a 

time if you want to have 

the best results.

Anchor readers to vote for Athlete of Year 

Online contest 

begins Friday, Jan.

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

Despite the fact the calendar 

year has now turned 

to 2018, 2017 still has a 

little bit missing from it. 

On fields of play all over 

the North Shore last year, 

student-athletes soared to 

new heights, and in many 

cases, took their team 

along for the ride. 22nd 

Century Media was following 

the action with its 

seven North Shore publications 

and websites, documenting 

the moments of 

glory, as well as the agony 

of defeat. 

Along the way, every 

week, papers like The 

Glencoe Anchor selected 

and interviewed a worthy 

Athlete of the Week. At 

the end of the month, all 

Athletes of the Week from 

the seven newspapers were 

pitted against one another 

in the popular Athlete of 

the Month competition, for 

which residents decide the 

result by voting for their 

favorite athlete online. 

At year’s end, there are 

12 winners, and we’re not 

done just yet. Those 12 

winners — along with six 

at-large contenders selected 

by 22CM staffers — are 

about to vie for the ultimate 

title: 22nd Century 

Media Athlete of the Year. 

The Athlete of the Year 

competition is a two-week 

online voting contest that 

begins at noon Friday, Jan. 

26, at GlencoeAnchor. 

com, as well as the company’s 

six other North Shore 

websites. 

Fans can vote daily for 

their favorite student-athlete 

until 5 p.m. Feb. 8. 

To avoid voting spam and 

abuse, we have restricted 

the votes to one per IP address 

per day with a special 

feature to ensure votes are 

being made by humans. If 

votes are proven illegitimate, 

they will be discarded 

and the beneficiary of 

the fraudulent votes may 

be disqualified. 

A winner will be announced 

in the Thursday, 

Feb. 15 issue of The Anchor.

Loyola hangs on for big 

Catholic League win 


Sports Editor 

There are not many rivalries 

like Loyola Academy 

and St. Ignatius. In the past 

three years, the Jesuit Cup, 

the battle between the two 

schools, has been within 

three points twice, both 

wins for St. Ignatius. 

That changed Friday, 

Jan. 19, when the Ramblers 

faced the Wolfpack in the 

second game of a boys/girls 

doubleheader at Wintrust 

Arena. Like the girls game, 

the boys came down to the 

last shot. The difference in 

this one was that Loyola 

found itself in the win column 

following a 37-36 

victory in the new arena’s 

first-ever high school boys 

basketball game. 

The win also gives the 

Ramblers (17-3, 4-1 Catholic 

Blue) two consecutive 

victories in the series. 

“This game is bigger 

than us,” Loyola’s Kevin 

Cunningham said. “The 

two schools, it’s a long 

history, it’s the Jesuit Cup. 

It’s a Catholic game, so it’s 

huge for us to keep us in 

the run for it (conference). 

It definitely means a lot.” 

The game was a tale of 

two halves as the Ramblers 

dominated the first 16 

minutes, but had the tables 

turned on them in the final 

two quarters. 

Up 35-28 after a 3-pointer 

by Connor Barrett with 

5 minutes, 22 seconds remaining, 

the Wolfpack 

went on an 8-0 run to set 

up the dramatics with 39.7 

seconds to play. 

After getting the ball on 

an alternate possession, 

jump-ball call, St. Ignatius 

Loyola’s Kevin Cunningham attempts a 3-pointer 

against St. Ignatius Friday, Jan. 20, in Chicago. Carlos 

Alvarez/22nd Century Media 

would run the clock down, 

looking to get the final shot. 

After a Loyola player collided 

with his opponent 

and knocked the ball out 

of bounds, still in the Wolfpack’s 

possession, the two 

teams called timeouts as St. 

Ignatius prepared to take 

the last shot. A buzzer-beating 

win was not in the cards 

for the Wolfpack as the ball 

hit the rim and bounced off. 

“We were expecting No. 

2 to get the ball, so what 

happened, happened,” 

Cunningham said. “We 

knew he was going to shoot 

it or kick it. He did kick it 

and I feel like we covered 

it pretty well. Whoever 

the gap helper was, he did 

a good job getting to the 

shooter.” 

After Cunningham 

knocked in a shot on the 

second quarter’s first possession 

to give Loyola a 

16-5 lead, the Ramblers 

would build it to 26-12 at 

the half. 

But then things changed. 

After Pete Mangan hit a 

shot at the 4:55 mark of the 

third period, giving Loyola 

a 28-14 lead, the Wolfpack 

responded with an 

11-0 run. It was capped by 

Thomas Stoodt’s 3-pointer, 

that made it 28-25, with 

just over a minute remaining 

in the period. Stoodt 

would be big for the Wolfpack 

in the second half, hitting 

four 3-pointers, two in 

each quarter. 

“The credit goes to 

them,” said Loyola coach 

Tom Livatino of his opponents. 

“We took some shots 

that are out of character for 

us, especially later in the 

game. Every bad shot we 

took, they made us pay. 

“I thought that was pretty 

crucial, but I thought we 

played a very good first 

half.” 

Cunningham agreed with 

his coach’s sentiment. 

“They [St. Ignatius] 

were pressuring us more in 

the second half, and I feel 

that gave us a little bit of 

trouble,” Cunningham said. 

“Every time we didn’t hit a 

shot, they came back. No. 

15 made some key shots 

in the second half, but we 

were able to hold them off.” 

Cunningham and Barrett 

each scored 10 to lead 

Loyola to the win. 


St. Ignatius stuns Loyola at buzzer in Jesuit Cup 


Sports Editor 

The Jesuit Cup, the annual 

battle between Loyola 

Academy and St. Ignatius, 

took a little bit of a different 

twist this year. For the first 

time, a high school basketball 

game was played at 

the new Wintrust Arena in 

Chicago. 

What didn’t change, 

however, was the game 

coming down to the wire 

with St. Ignatius hitting a 

shot in the lane with 1.4 

seconds remaining to propel 

the Wolfpack to a 45-44 

victory on Friday, Jan. 19. 

The loss was the first in 

the series for Loyola since 

2002. 

St. Ignatius came into 

the final period with a 36- 

30 lead and looking like 

it would take control of 

the game. After Nicolette 

McDonald knocked down 

two free throws to give 

the Wolfpack a 40-32 lead 

with less than six minutes 

remaining, Loyola (17-5, 

3-2 GCAC Red) went on 

a 10-1 run to take a 42-41 

lead at the 1:02 mark after 

Celia Satter knocked in a 

3-pointer. Satter led the 

charge in the comeback, 

scoring eight points, including 

two 3-pointers. 

It wasn’t just the offense 

that was key for the Ramblers 

down the stretch. As 

the defense stiffened, allowing 

the Wolfpack to 

score only once on a Molly 

Gannon free throw, Loyola 

forced two turnovers and 

three St. Ignatius missed 

shots. 

After Campbell Montgomery 

hit two free throws 

to give the Wolfpack a 43- 

42 lead with 52 seconds 

remaining, things got even 

more interesting. 

Loyola got the ball back 

with 39 seconds remaining 

after Gannon tripped

and gets the shot off with her left hand Friday, Jan. 19, in 

Chicago. Photos by Carlos Alvarez/22nd Century Media 

Addison Ebeling gets ready to take a shot. 

and knocked the ball out 

of bounds. After a Loyola 

timeout, the Wolfpack inexplicably 

left Lilly Wehman 

unguarded under the basket 

off of the ensuing inbounds 

pass. The Georgetownbound 

senior put in a layup 

and was fouled. Her free 

throw, however, rimmed 

out and gave the Wolfpack 

a chance to win the game, 

down 44-43. 

A St. Ignatius miss and 

defensive rebound by Addison 

Bendery gave the 

ball back to the Ramblers 

with 21 seconds left, but 

a Loyola turnover with 16 

seconds left set up the dramatic 

play. The Wolfpack 

were able to get the ball 

into the post and Montgomery 

hit the shot that drove 

the St. Ignatius crowd into 

hysteria. 

After a fast start to the 

game that propelled the 

Ramblers to an 8-1 lead, St. 

Ignatius recovered and battled 

back, going on a 12-3 

run to end the period and 

end the first quarter with a 

13-11 lead. The Ramblers 

missed six of their last seven 

shots in the period. 

A back-and-forth second 

quarter still saw the Wolfpack 

go into halftime with a 

25-22 lead. The third quarter 

was much of the same 

and saw the Ramblers take 

a 30-28 lead on a basket by 

Satter. The Wolfpack went 

on an 8-0 run over the last 

3 minutes, 30 seconds to 

head into the fourth quarter 

with a 36-30 lead. 

Satter would end up 

leading the Ramblers with 

19 points, including five 

3-pointers. Wehman and 

Erin Dillon scored nine 

points each for Loyola.




Regina rallies late but falls at Glenbrook North 

Gary Larsen 


Glenbrook North 

showed Regina Dominican 

that often times in basketball 

a loss comes down 

to just three words: Too 

much size. 

The host Spartans’ 44- 

30 win over the visiting 

Panthers was punctuated 

throughout by their superior 

height at nearly every 

position, in a nonconference 

girls’ basketball game 

on Saturday, Jan. 20. 

“We don’t have the size 

to match them,” Regina 

coach Bob Newton said. 

“When we’re at our best, 

we’re playing defense and 

forcing teams to do things 

they don’t like to do. We 

did that for a little bit today 

but then we couldn’t stop 

the ball from going in the 

post.” 

Glenbrook North senior 

post player Morgan 

Paull led all scorers with 

13 points, and five other 

Spartans had at least two 

baskets apiece in the win. 

Glenbrook North coach 

Danielle Fluegge knew her 

girls held a physical edge 

over Regina so her pregame 

message was clear. 

“We’ve been preaching 

to the girls that when 

you play a team that 

you’re supposed to beat, 

you have to beat them.” 

Fluegge said. “We have 

eight seniors and they’ve 

been hearing those kinds 

of things a lot over four 

years, and it’s nice to see 

them put it into action.” 

The Spartans (9-9) led 

23-5 at halftime and 36-11 

after three quarters before 

Fluegge sent in her second-team 

players for the 

fourth quarter. 

Regina (9-13) had the 

game’s first basket, a 

3-pointer from freshman 

guard Laura Strenk. But 

the Spartans answered 

with an 11-0 scoring run to 

the end of the first quarter, 

then posted a 12-2 scoring 

edge in the second. 

A 13-6 scoring edge in 

the third quarter gave the 

Spartans a 25-point lead, 

and Glenbrook North junior 

Faith Kim liked what 

she saw from her side as it 

built its lead. 

“We know we can play 

well when we stick together,” 

Kim said. “Something 

that has helped us a 

lot in the last few games is 

instead of being down on 

Regina point guard Laura Strenk (right) is guarded by 

Glenbrook North’s Christina Christos on Saturday, Jan. 

20, in Northbrook. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

ourselves for losing games 

we shouldn’t have lost, 

we’ve really been picking 

each other up.” 

Strenk led the Panthers 

with 10 points, sophomore 

Nora Clancy scored nine, 

and junior Caitlin Ward 

had 10 rebounds in the 

loss. 

The Panthers played 

with more cohesion in the 

fourth quarter, matched 

up against the Spartans’ 

second team, and Regina 

posted a 19-8 scoring edge 

in the quarter. 

“We all have strengths 

and we needed to combine 

them today,” Strenk 

said. “In the fourth quarter, 

we finally started to 

combine well together. 

And like coach says, until 

(the post-season) everything 

is practice. So 

we’re all practicing really 

hard.” 

Newton agreed. 

“We’ve made great 

progress and we’re playing 

better together than we did 

last year,” Newton said. 

“So we’ve seen a lot of 

progress and we’re much 

improved defensively. But 

we don’t have enough kids 

who are confident enough 

to think of themselves as 

scorers and we’re trying to 

develop that through practice.” 

Newton also applauded 

the varsity season Strenk 

is having as a freshman. 

“She’s really our first 

basketball player because 

all of our other kids are 

multi-sport athletes who 

are playing basketball just 

because they’re athletic 

enough,” Newton said. 

“She has played really 

well.” 

Strenk is just happy to 

be a varsity contributor. 

“It’s like the coolest 

thing ever. It’s such a great 

experience,” Strenk said. 

“All my teammates are so 

nice and they help me out 

so much, and (Newton) 

does a great job of matching 

us up with girls on the 

other teams we play.” 

Fluegge applauded team 

leader Paull for another 

consistent effort and liked 

the effort she got up and 

down her lineup. Kim 

scored five points in the 

win and the Spartans got 

four points apiece from 

Jamie Kempner, Amanda 

Stephenson, Sammi 

Stoneburner, and Christina 

Christos. 

Fluegge was also happy 

to get her bench players 

extended playing time on 

Saturday. 

“We have such a great 

group of girls and it’s always 

good to get every girl 

playing,” Fluegge said. 

“And Faith Kim is truly 

our most improved player 

from last year to this year. 

She has played consistently 

well, kept us in games, 

and helped dig us out of 

holes. Offensively, she’s a 

force to be reckoned with 

and defensively she has 

worked hard on moving 

her feet.” 

Kim flashed her ability 

to drive to the basket 

throughout Saturday’s 

game. In her second varsity 

season, however, she’s 

focused on improving other 

aspects of her game. 

“The last couple years, 

my game has been mainly 

been more about offense. 

I like taking it to the hoop 

but I still need to work 

on my outside shot,” Kim 

said. “And Fluegge has 

talked to me about not 

being a one-dimensional 

player so I’ve had to work 

on my defense, too. I can’t 

make my teammates do 

extra work because of me, 

so I had to start pulling my 

own weight.”

Glenbrook North, a 

young team with no seniors, 

placed fifth at the 

CSL conference tournament 

with a score of 162. 

Juniors Cam Casey (31-6) 

and Trent Williams (30- 

6) placed second in their 

respective weight classes. 

Casey placed second in the 

182-pound weight class 

with a 13-4 major decision 

loss in the championship 

match to Maine South’s 

John Halvorsen. Williams 

placed second in the 


with a loss to Evanston’s 

Ramin Abraham in the 

championship on a 10-8 

decision. 

“We don’t have one senior 

on the team,” GBN 

assistant coach Blake 

Tomczak said. “We’ll return 

162 points for next 

year plus the guys that 

were out that are working 

to get better now, so it’s 

a bright future. Trent and 

Cam are probably going 

to be leading that. It’s a 

younger team this year and 

they jumped right into that 

role and they’ve taken on 

a leadership role. The kids 

that follow them, they get 

in line behind them. They 

lead by example. They’re 

great kids.” 

Tomczak added that the 

Spartans don’t take a lot of 

stock in their performance 

at the conference tournament. 

“We don’t evaluate ourselves 

based on how we do 

in the conference tournament,” 

he said. “We evaluate 

ourselves based on 

how we do in comparison 

to yesterday. The goal is to 

progress and get better and 

just keep finding new ways 

to be a better version of 

what they already are. The 

sport is about making adjustments 

and progressing 

and being the best wrestler 

you can be. It’s not necessarily 

comparing yourself 

to anyone else in the conference.” 

Unlike New Trier, Highland 

Park and Glenbrook 

North, no Glenbrook 

South wrestlers placed 

first or second in the conference 

tournament. The 

young Titans placed 10th 

at the 12-team tournament 

with a score of 45. Glenbrook 

South’s top finishers 

were three sophomores: 

Matt Rubel (21-13) with 

a fourth-place finish in the 

106-pound weight class, 

Nate Sullivan (3-5) with 

a sixth-place finish in the 


and Cam Mercer (26-11) 

with a fifth-place finish 

in the 195-pound weight 

class. 

“Obviously, we’re happy 

with successes we had, 

but losses and adversity 

we had, we’ll get back to 

work right off the bat,” 

Rubel said. “We’ll be in 

there on Monday working 

on anything we didn’t perform 

well on.”



Ryan, Trevs impress at conference meet

North, Highland Park and 

Glenbrook South wrestling 

tuned up for the postseason, 

at the Central Suburban 

League conference 

tournament. 

With regionals quickly 

looming and a start date 

of Feb. 3, area wrestling 

teams honed their skill 

Saturday, Jan. 20, at Maine 

West in the conference 

tournament. 

New Trier placed the 

highest of the four CSL 

schools in the 22nd Century 

Media coverage area 

with a third-place score of 

222.5. New Trier senior 

Patrick Ryan, took home 

the title in the 145-point 

weight class and remained 

undefeated with a 38-0 

record. He was also presented 

with the Elias 

George Outstanding Wrestler 

award at the end of the 

event. 

“It’s an honor that the 

coaches voted me recognizing 

the hard work our 

team has put in this year,” 

Ryan said. “I’m super glad 

to have partners in the 

wrestling room who coach 

me to get better like Jack 

Tangen, Bayne Kiser and 

Russell Sanchez because 

without good practice partners 

it’s really hard to improve 

individually, so I’m 

just really glad that I’ve 

got those guys to push me 

every day.” 

Ryan defeated Highland 

Park senior Alex Rosenbloom 

(25-2) in the championship 

match on a 7-3 

decision. 

“I was expecting a competitive 

match in the finals,” 

Ryan said. “I think 

the difference was my 

conditioning during the 

match. As far as something 

that I can work on, I really 

think that my takedown 

finishes could be cleaner. 

Just working on my technique. 

I need to improve 

riding guys in the top position 

and just trying to 

get all those things right 

for regionals in a couple 

weeks.” 

Ryan looks to keep his 

personal and team success 

going deep in the postseason. 

Ryan competed at 

state the past two years.

Hills’ Aris Herrera NG. Tangen defeated Herrera NG via

“The goal is to stay undefeated 

and win a state 

title,” he said. “In the long 

term as a team, we want 

to win the team regional. 

I would say we’re an underdog 

right now, but in 

our wrestling room we 

have the mentality that we 

should be hanging in there 

with those teams. We’re 

just going to wrestle hard 

and see how it goes out. 

Hopefully we go out with 

a regional title and I hope 

to be able to end my career 

with a state title.” 

Rosenbloom looks forward 

to a potential rematch 

with Ryan at the 

Barrington Sectional on 

Feb. 9-10. His Giants 

placed sixth at the CSL 

conference tournament 

with a score of 118.5. 

“I was wrestling the top 

guy in the state,” he said. “I 

know I’m a top guy in the 

state. He just took advantage 

of all of my mistakes. 

When I stopped wrestling 

that’s when he took advantage 

and took me down. It 

was a tough loss, but it’s 

good I have the film. I’ll be 

able to look over it. I’ll see 

him in three weeks. Hopefully, 

I’ll be able to get him

in three weeks.” 

Like Ryan, Rosenbloom 

also competed at state the 

past two seasons and looks 

to keep his success going 

deep in the postseason. 

“I want to place in state,” 

Rosenbloom said. “That’s 

top six, so placing at state 

is the goal. I think with my 

talent if I’m on I shouldn’t 

have a problem. I think it’s 

going to be there and I just 

have to wrestle my best 

and keep on working hard 

for the next three weeks. I 

think it’ll come.” 

Rosenbloom was Highland 

Park’s lone wrestler 

to place either first or second 

at the conference tournament, 

while the Trevians 

had four additional wrestlers 

to finish either first or 

second in their respective 

weight classes. Michael 

Miralles (16-9) placed 

second in the 113-pound 

weight class, Jack Tangen 

(35-1) took home the title 


class, Russell Sanchez (24- 

13) placed second in the 


and Jimmy McDermed 

(23-9) took home the title 


class.

For girls and boys 

basketball, the 

months of January 

and February are ones that 

are to prepare teams for 

the grueling end of the 

season and hopeful run to 

a state title. Many teams 

participate in shootouts to 

get an opportunity to play 

teams they may normally 

not get a chance to. 

The North Shore’s 

shootout, the War on the 

Shore, however, means a 

little more to the participants. 

This Saturday, Jan. 

27, will mark the eighth 

annual War on the Shore 

featuring the boys basketball 

teams from Loyola 

Academy, New Trier and 

Evanston against three 

teams from the Chicagoland 

area and Midwest. 

“When we started this 

event, we just wanted to 

shine a spotlight on the 

North Shore and some historically 

good basketball 

programs in New Trier, 

Evanston and Loyola 

and bring in really good 

teams,” Loyola coach 

Tom Livatino said after 

last year’s win over St. 

Patrick. 

What makes this 

shootout different from 

others is that it helps a 

local charity that means a 

lot to the North Shore, the 

Danny Did Foundation, a 

foundation whose mission 

is to prevent deaths caused 

by seizures. 

Mike and Mariann Stanton 

founded the foundation 

after their 4-year-old son 

Danny died suddenly on 

Dec. 12, 2009 in his sleep 

after suffering a seizure. 

Soon after, his uncle 

Tommy, then an assistant 

coach with the Loyola 

basketball team, joined 

Mike, a Loyola grad, and 

Mariann and now serves 

as the executive director of 

the foundation. 

In the seven years of 

the shootout, the event has 

raised nearly $17,000 and 

has become a staple for 

one Saturday afternoon 

of boys basketball on the 

North Shore. 

Covering last year’s 

event, my first War on the 

Shore experience, was a 

lot of fun because it was 

great to see that people of 

all different backgrounds 

could come together for 

a great cause, while also 

being able to watch great 

basketball. 

“Partnering with Danny 

Did makes it special,” 

Livatino added last year. 

New Trier and Loyola will both take part in the eighth annual War on the Shore this 

weekend at Loyola. 22nd century media file photo 

“Our thing at Loyola is 

‘Men for others’ and this 

is something that’s more 

than basketball and an 

organization and a family 

that’s special to us.” 

This year’s event 

features non-North Shore 

teams from Geneva, St. 

Viator and Detroit Jesuit 

from Michigan. New Trier 

and Loyola’s opponents, 

St. Viator and Detroit Jesuit, 

have a combined 25-6 

record on the season, so 

it should be a good group

What better way to 

spend a Saturday afternoon 

than watching the top boys 

basketball talent on display? 

If you’ve got some 

time this weekend, make 

sure to stop by Loyola 

for a couple games, cheer 

on your favorite local 

basketball players and help 

a charitable foundation for 

a great cause.
