Highland Park City Council
HP City Council discusses Black
History Month initiatives
Margaret Tazioli
Freelance Reporter
In honor of Black History
Month this February,
the Highland Park City
Council invited District
113 to share about its Mosaic
Experience initiative:
an attempt to create a more
inclusive, welcoming, diverse
and safe space for all
at the high school.
After Snapchat videos
that used racial slurs circulated
around Highland
Park High School last December,
the district decided
to take action.
Matt Wallace, the assistant
principal of curriculum
and instruction
for D113, has been at the
forefront of a number of
inclusive, welcoming and
safe space initiatives.
“This year, a major
initiative has been to address
issues of hate speech
we’ve been experiencing
in the school and district,”
Wallace said. “Hate related
to race, gender, sexuality,
sexual orientation, religion,
anything related to
one’s individual appearance
and identity.”
On Jan. 24-25, Highland
Park High School partnered
with Mosaic Experience,
a diversity training
organization, to provide
grade-level assemblies
about hate speech. Wallace
said they addressed topics
of bullying and specific
forms of hate speech.
“Students were given
the opportunity to provide
input in terms of how they
see our school moving
forward to promote a safe
space for everyone who
walks through our doors
on a daily basis and using
that as a launching pad to
move forward with how
that can be established on
a daily basis and not just
be something that’s stated
on our website,” Wallace
said.
Staff, students and community
members all had
the opportunity to provide
input in designing these
assemblies, Wallace said.
However, Mosaic Experience
isn’t the only
anti-racism initiative at the
high school.
Students Organized
Against Racism, or SOAR,
is a student group at Highland
Park High School that
gathers weekly for conversations
and trips to learn
and improve their crosscultural
understanding.
Community Partners
for Affordable Housing
is a nonprofit that’s been
around for a couple decades.
The organization
works to provide affordable
housing in Highland
Park thus making it possible
for minimum-wage
earning families to live on
the North Shore.
In her proclamation
acknowledging February
as Black History
Month, mayor Nancy Rotering
wrote, “The State
of Illinois is home to
nearly 850,000 African
Americans currently and,
throughout history, many
have played significant
roles in Illinois’ economic,
cultural, spiritual and political
development while
working tirelessly to maintain
and promote their culture
and history. The City
of Highland Park is proud
to honor the history and
contributions of African
Americans in our state and
throughout the nation.”
Drury wins ballot challenge, will appear on ballot
Staff Report
Earlier today, the Appellate
Court of Illinois, First
Judicial District, in a unanimous
decision, declared
that Scott Drury’s name
should appear on the ballot
for the March 20 primary
election, according to a release
from Drury’s office.
Drury was originally
struck from the ballot after
a Cook County judge he
had incorrectly filed financial
documents.
The judge made the ruling
Friday, Feb. 2.
The appellate court decided
Drury fully complied
with the requirements of
the Illinois Election Code
and properly filed all necessary
paperwork.
In reaching its decision,
the court stated that the
legislature did not intend
“absurdity, inconvenience
or injustice” in drafting the
Election Code. According
to the court, the objection at
issue merely wanted Drury
to fill out a form he already
completed – “we do not
believe that the legislature
intended that result.”

Local, national issues discussed at candidate forum
Xavier Ward, Editor
It may have been a local
stage, but issues discussed
at the League of
Women Voters’ Candidate
Forum ranged from local
to national, including gun
control and women’s reproductive
rights.
Candidates seeking
election in contested races
in Lake County made their
arguments for election
Sunday, Feb. 18, at North
Shore Unitarian Church in
Bannockburn.
Democratic candidates
vying for the Lake County
Clerk’s office and Republicans
contending for the
10th District were present.
Republicans are trying

to win back the 10th District
from Brand Schneider

2012.

candidates for the Republican
nomination.
Following the school
shooting in Parkland, Fla.,
the three candidates were
asked their stance on gun
control measures.
“Very clearly, I support
common sense gun restrictions,
identity checks,
background checks, closing
gun show loopholes,”
Shah said. “I think the majority
of Americans support
those things — I support
those things too.”
He added that bump
stocks, a device that can
turn a semi-automatic rifle
into a fully-automatic,
should be banned as part
of the common sense measure.
Wynes said he, too, supports
common sense gun
restriction measures.
Bennett broke slightly
from the other candidates.
“There were signs, and
somebody at the FBI obviously
missed something in
their process, but I don’t
want to throw them under
the bus,” Bennett said.
“I’m a civil libertarian, I
believe that we all have to
protect all of our civil liberties.
That means Second
Amendment, that’s First
Amendment, that’s Fourth
Amendment,” he added.
Bennett, however, did
add that bump stocks
should be added to the list
of restrictions placed on
automatic weapons.
Wynes and Shah’s
stance on guns stands in
contrast to other Republicans
across the country, to
many of whom gun control
is a taboo issue such as
Speaker of the House Paul
Ryan (R-Wisconsin) who
sought not to politicize the
shooting publicly.
The two also break from
the general Republican
consensus, as pro-choice
Republicans, they said
in response to a question
about reproductive rights.
Bennett said he is prolife,
but believes decisions
such as marriage equality
and women’s reproductive
rights were in the hands of
the United States Supreme
Court, and would not support
a measure to overturn
them.
If reelected, Schneider
would serve his second
consecutive term and third
overall.
Wynes has said before
that the 10th District needs
a fiscally conservative, socially
moderate politician
to adequately represent the
district.
While Schneider advertised
himself as someone
who would break party
lines to represent the District,
Wynes said his voting
record shows otherwise.

Rotering issues statement on Parkland shooting
Staff Report
In light of the school
shooting in Parkland, Fla.,
Highland Park Mayor
Nancy Rotering issed a
statement regarding public
safety.
“The tragedy in Parkland,
Florida yesterday,
has left us with broken
hearts and worries almost
too profound to say out
loud. As much as we know
life is fragile and unpredictable,
reminders like
this make it almost unbearable.
My heart goes out to
those impacted by the horrific
event,” Rotering stated
in an email.

a little frustrated when the

when I have to pick my
son up from school early,

Casey Westover, Drury’s
attorney, stated in the
release. “I have known
all along that Scott fully
complied with the Illinois
Election Code. The court’s
opinion is complete vindication
for him, and I’m
glad he can now turn his
focus to winning this election.”
Drury stated in the release
he is extremely
pleased with the court’s

Broad is a long-time

security every time seems
redundant. Then you realize
it’s not absurd at all,”
she added.
Rotering has sparred
with the National Rifle Association,
and was sued by
the organization when the
City of Highland Park effected
an assault weapon
ban.
“As I have said before,
public safety is paramount.
We work daily to ensure
our city is safe, but we can
always do more. In the
wake of the tragedy, I have
been in touch with Police
Chief Mark Fleischhauer,
City Manager Ghida Neukirch,
and representatives
from Districts 112 and 113
to review our safety measures,”

election based on their
fear of Drury being the attorney
general has finally
come to an end. According
to court reports, several
counties delayed the start
of early voting because of
the pending objection to
Drury’s candidacy.
“Mike Madigan and the
political machine have
come at me with everything
they’ve got — and
lost,” said Drury. “It’s
time for Madigan to act
graciously in defeat, focus
on real issues like the
sexual harassment scandal

doctorate.
“Many people think that
the clerk is responsible,
basically, for elections,”
O’Connor said.
However, carrying out
elections is only a fraction
of the clerk’s actual duties,
she said.
“It is important that the
Rotering added a list of
“need to know” facts about

Efforts include police

Park schools, monitoring
social media activity, collaborating
with social service
resources on violence
and bullying prevention
and working alongside
parents and peers to watch
for unusual behavior.

and public buildings are

to speak to students who

top priority.

Drury is one of eight

THE WINNETKA CURRENT
Victim of ’88 Winnetka
shooting named director of
Archdiocese program
Winnetka native Phil
Andrew has been appointed
the director of Violence
of Prevention Initiatives
for the Archdiocese of
Chicago, according to a
statement from the Archdiocese.
In a newly created role,
Andrew will lead antiviolence
efforts through
building coalitions, developing
programs and increasing
charitable efforts
in some of area’s troubled
neighborhoods.
“I am delighted to welcome
Phil, someone with
years of experience working
to address violence,
to lead the archdiocese’s
peace-building efforts,”
Chicago Archbishop Cardinal
Blase Cupich said
in the statement. “He has
known firsthand the impact
of violence as a shooting
survivor himself and
will help build bridges as
we collaborate with people
of good will to strengthen
a culture of peace across
the Chicago area.”
On May 20, 1988, Andrew
was shot by Glencoe
resident Laurie Dann,
who had killed one child
and wounded several others
at Winnetka’s Hubbard
Woods Elementary
School. She then came to
the nearby Andrew house,
wounding Andrew, before
she took her own life.
Andrew survived the
shooting, eventually becoming
the executive
director of the Illinois
Council Against Handgun
Violence and working as
assistant counsel for the
Chicago Housing Authority.
Andrew then moved to
an over-two-decade run at
the FBI, where his most
recent responsibilities included
working as a special
agent with a focus on
gun violence, counterterrorism,
counterintelligence
and crisis management.

THE WILMETTE BEACON
Gillson project schematic
design approved
It appears the Wilmette
Park Board is closer to a
final decision on the Gillson
Beach project.
At its Monday, Feb. 12
meeting, the board approved
the schematic design
for the project. Upon
approval by the board,
the engineers, architects,
construction managers
and staff will begin the
detailed design process so
proper bid documents and
construction documents
can be created in time for
the project to begin immediately
after the conclusion
of the 2018 swimming
beach season. The board’s
approval came following
the Lakefront Committee’s
recommendation at its Jan.
25 meeting to approve the
schematic design.
“We’re not approving
every single detail,” Commissioner
Bryan Abbott
said. “We’re approving the
schematic design and continuing
to work on these
particular details.”
The two major topics of
discussion at the meeting
were the parking lot and
trees. Wilmette resident
Ron Crystal spoke during
public comment explaining
that he counted a total
of 327 parking spaces in
the existing lot. This count
was larger than the architect’s
count of 305 spaces
due to Crystal counting
unmarked spaces that
beachgoers park in and the
architect not. The goals
that were previously established
for the new parking
lot by the board were to
not have a larger footprint
than currently and have at
least the same number of
parking spaces. Through
the board’s discussion,
maintaining safety was
added to the list of parking
lot goals.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Students, residents
continue debate on D225
transgender policy
During the public comment
segment of District
225’s Board of Education
meeting on Monday, Feb.
12, Glenbrook North junior
Erin Rosenfeld was
one of five Glenview and
Northbrook citizens who
expressed their opinions
on District 225 policy regarding
transgender students,
which was adopted
at the board’s Jan. 22
meeting.
The policy allows transgender
students to use the
locker room that conform
to their gender identity.
“As a student, I greatly
support this policy,” said
Rosenfeld, who identified
herself as gay. “[Transgender
students] are not
trying to take advantage of
anyone else (in the locker
room), and there’s nothing
in the Bible against people
who are gay.”
Grace Chiappetti, another
GBN student, also
prefaced her comment by
saying that she was gay.
She called the policy “a
great opportunity (for fellow
students) to be more
open and accepting.”
Debby Shulman, a Glenbrook
South graduate with
three kids that attended the
high school and a member
of Parents and Friends of
Lesbian and Gay students,
also praised the policy.
“The passage of this
policy speaks to inclusivity
and diversity,” she said.
“We at PFLAG express
our deepest gratitude to
the board for supporting
children who might suffer
emotionally or incur bullying.”
Two citizens spoke
against the policy.
A woman — who told
reporters, “I don’t want
my name in the paper,”
when asked to identify
herself — told the board
she was from “a family of
faith” and “I don’t think
it’s right my child can gaze
at people like this; we’re
supposed to protect their
eyes, not open their eyes to
people like this.”

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR
Glencoe’s Len Kasper talks
Chicago Cubs, broadcasting job
“A lot of the time, it’s the
things that don’t happen that you
look at as a blessing.”
For Glencoe resident and Chicago
Cubs television broadcaster
Len Kasper, that blessing was
accepting a job with WTMJ radio
in Milwaukee years ago, a
day before hearing back from a
minor league general manager
offering him a baseball job.
“I told him that ‘if you had
called me yesterday, I would
have accepted it,’” Kasper told
a crowd Monday, Feb. 12, at the
Glencoe Public Library.
“At the time, I was pretty upset
because I wanted to do baseball,
but I felt I had to keep my obligation
with the radio station.”
That radio station gig, however,
lead him to further jobs in
the industry, including a play-byplay
broadcaster in the Florida
Marlins booth.
After spending three years in
Miami, Kasper eventually applied
for a vacant Cubs position
after the 2004 season, but he was
reluctant at first.
“I didn’t apply originally because
I didn’t think I’d have a
shot,” Kasper said.
But he did. He secured the position
for the 2005 season and
packed up his family and moved
to Glencoe, where he joins his
sister, who has lived in the town
for 25 years.
At the library, Kasper talked
about having the opportunity
to go out in the community and
meet fans and have the opportunity
to talk baseball.
“I do usually a handful every
offseason,” he told The Anchor
of the talks. “During the season,
it’s harder because of the games.
This is probably the second or
third one I’ve done this winter.
If people ask and I’m available,
I’ll do it.”

D34 projects budget deficits
due to sluggish revenue,
unanticipated costs
With revenues failing to meet
projections and special education
costs rising, the Glenview
School District 34 Board of
Education contemplated the District’s
financial future at its regular
meeting on Monday, Feb. 12.
Eric Miller, assistant superintendent
of business services,
explained to the board that the
District is projected to run a budget
deficit in each of the next five
years. The projections are calculated
by the Citizens Finance
Advisory Committee, a group of
residents and district employees
with financial backgrounds.
The District finished fiscal
year 2017 with a relatively small
$300,000 deficit, however these
amounts are projected to increase
significantly in the near
future. For 2018, the committee
has forecasted a deficit of more
than $2 million.
Miller attributed the budget
shortfalls to lagging tax revenue
and unforeseen costs in special
education and specialized transportation.
Given the unfavorable projections,
district staff has explored
several ways to lower costs
without cutting staff or educational
programs, Miller said.
District staff has already identified
several strategies that would
save an estimated $1 million, including
the rebidding of service
contracts and the outsourcing of
large-scale printing.

in mind for his future, but
he’s currently focusing on
making entrepreneurial
waves here on the North
Shore.
The New Trier junior
created his own company,
Easy Hoops, this past September,
to provide a safe
environment for everyone
to be themselves, try
new things and meet new
people through the sport of
basketball.
“Basketball has always
been a huge part of my life.
I was always the player on
the court that knew what to
do, but had trouble doing
it,” Rosen said. “I’m short.
I had to take a different approach
to basketball.”
Rosen, 17, of Glencoe,
opted to start coaching a
few years back. He has
worked with the travel
team in the Glencoe Park
District. He also coached at
camps. Combining his love
of the game, his desire to
do service work and growing
business savviness led
to starting Easy Hoops.
“[Last summer] I was
talking to kids and family,
they told me that I should
do something with basketball.
They said I was making
an impact by teaching
kids sports, but that there’s
more I can do,” Rosen said.
“There was more I could
do on a broader scope and
who I could impact in the
long run.”
Rosen recently partnered
up with Aspiritech,
a company out of Highland
Park, to put on an
Easy Hoops basketball
event. Held at the Jewish
Council for Youth Services
Lutz Family Center
on Feb. 4, Rosen and his
team worked with people
of all ages and abilities on
basketball and life skills.
The New Trier varsity
boys basketball team also
made an appearance at the
vent. In addition, money
was raised for the Autism
Speaks Foundation.
“My mission is to provide
a safe space and opportunity
for kids with

physical and intellectual
disabilities to be free and
feel comfortable socially,”
Rosen said. “They also
gain this athletic experience
and exercise in a nonjudgemental,
conforming
environment.”
With Easy Hoops, the
program molds around the
kids versus the typical setup
in other organizations
that practice the reverse.
Easy Hoops, which raises
money for various organizations,
tries to revolve lessons
around a specific value
or virtue at each event,
according to Rosen. Some
examples include courage,
perseverance, determination,
teamwork and more.

High school charity drive will
benefit childhood cancer patients
Xavier Ward, Editor
High school charity drives are not uncommon,
but it has been a tradition at
Highland Park High School since 1994.
Each year the school votes on a charity
to support and then they organizes a
number of fundraisers.
“Last year we raised money for the
Zacharias Sexual Abuse Center,” said
Lily Schor, one of this year’s charitydrive
heads. “We raised $140,456.”
Schor, a junior at Highland Park High
School, is one of three student heads. She
and her partners senior Emma Lund and
junior Spencer Dowell looked through
hundreds of applications from area charities.
Finally, the trio decided on three
charities to put to a vote: the Highland
Park-Highwood Legal Aid Clinic, Illinois
State Schools Alliance and Cal’s
Angels.
Once the three were selected, Schor
said, it was completely out of the group’s
hands. Schor added that in order to inform
students about what each charity
does, the three organizations produced
their own 45-minute video to present to
students. A number of students did their
own research on the three organizations,
Schor added.
The vote went in favor of Cal’s Angels,
a St. Charles-based charity that benefits
pediatric-cancer patients.
“They have a three pronged approach
of granting wishes, raising awareness
and funding research,” Schor said. “We
seriously couldn’t be happier with them
as our charity.”
Schor, Lund and Dowell travelled to
Chicago’s Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s
Hospital and meet some of the
patients who were benefactors of Cal’s
Angels, Schor added.
During the charity drive, there’s a different
event almost every day, she said.
The day after Cal’s Angels was chosen,
students decked out the entire school in
gold, the color that represents the fight
against pediatric cancer.
Events such as the 24-Hour Run provide
the community and students with
a fun way to raise money. The 24-Hour
Run features members of the track and
cross-country team at Highland Park
High School. They work as a team to run
for 24-hours straight, subbing in when
Charity drive committee heads (left to
right) Emma Lund, Spencer Dowell and
Lily Schor collaborated to pick the three
charities the school then voted on. The
charity event goes through March 3.

needed to keep the run going from 9 a.m.
Friday, Feb. 16 until 9 a.m. Saturday,
Feb. 17.
The biggest money maker, Schor said,
is the silent auction that takes place during
the 24-Hour Run.
Other events the school hosts are food
charity drives at local restaurants such as
Portillos, Chipotle or Blaze, as well as a
school dance at Michael’s, which is compete
with a D.J.
“We really, this year especially, are
trying to reach out to the different clubs
in our school,” Schor said, noting that
they want all students to get involved.
Schor added that most of the events are
open to the public.
She said she can’t speculate how much
money the drive has raised so far, but
said that the heads are confident they’re
doing well. There is still time to donate,
as the charity drive runs through March
3.
“We are just so excited,” Schor said.

from the editor
Support the local arts
Xavier Ward
xavier@hplandmark.com
One thing that was
often uttered
among musicians
I hung around during
college was “the scene is
mighty.”
They were often referring
to the local music
scene in a certain location,
but the “scene” is mighty
no matter where it’s
located.
The reason places such
as Chicago have such a
great reputation for music
is not simply because
good music exists there,
but because of community
support. Every great
music scene that existed
in any one place did so because
of the support it got
from the community.
Generally, these scenes
refer to counterculture efforts
such as rock and roll,
punk, soul and so on.
However, in Highwood,
the Midwest Young Artists
Conservatory helps bolster
local musicians and put
them on the path to success.
“We currently serve
one thousand students in
74 Chicago area communities.

Letters to the EdiTor
A call to end glorification
of guns
Those who blame the
problem of mass shootings
and gun violence on the
NRA highlight an enormous
problem, but also
oversimplify the problem.
The NRA’s stranglehold
on Congress and state legislatures
has blocked the
most common sense legislation
which would make
it harder for people to gain
access to guns. But if we
really want to get serious
about guns, let’s be honest
that is just part of the
solution.
First, let’s stop glorifying
guns. Let’s stop flocking
to the movie theatre to
see the latest “blow ‘em
up” hit. Let’s reject video
games where you win by
shooting, hurting and killing.
Let’s stop buying albums
and giving awards
to music artists who glorify
the use of guns. Let’s
stop including guns with
kids’ toys. I mean, does
the LEGO Duplo Batmobile
for kids ages 2-5 really
need to shoot a plastic
bullet? Let’s explain to
our kids why pretending
the spatula or pen (or anything
else laying around
the house) is a gun is not
acceptable. And let’s
reject those whose apathy
is rooted in the belief
that guns are OK because
they’re just part of the culture
of a neighborhood or
region.
As we all look for ways
to respond to what keeps
happening in our schools
and on our streets, these
are immediate things we
can all do in our homes
Cocktails will be given to
talented students admitted
to our program if they
cannot afford the tuition.
Many of our students are
from our own communities,”
Founder Allan Dennis
told The Landmark.
These kind of local
resources are not available
in every community.
Additionally, it affords
musical opportunities to
kids whose communities
may not have those opportunities.
There’s an attitude that
only popular music is
worth consuming, and
that’s simply not true.
It does take a little bit
of work to seek out new
music, but you find some
really great stuff doing so.
This doesn’t only apply
to local music programs,
and with our children —
today.
Simultaneously, we need
to demand our elected officials
pass laws that make it
harder for people get a gun
and get to the root of gun
violence. This includes 1.
increased funding - multifold
- to identify and help
treat those with mental illnesses,
while not unfairly
stigmatizing them; and 2.
developing real economic
development solutions to
create jobs and opportunity
in neighborhoods overrun
by guns and violence.
Gun violence is a complex
issue — and contrary
to the rhetoric from all political
perspectives, there
is, unfortunately, no single
cure-all solution.
David Goldenberg,
Highland Park
but it’s a great place to
start.
Popular music doesn’t
start popular. It becomes
that way after exposure.
That doesn’t just go for
music.
Local artisans create
great stuff you could use
to decorate your house or
furnish a space.
Sure, the price tag with
consuming local arts my
come at a bit of a price,
but you’re helping area
residents put food on the
table.
So look around at local
organizations and see
what’s out there.
Sure, it’s not necessarily
a “scene” in the way that
many of the popular music
or arts movements are,
but it is local arts, and it’s
worth checking out.

Jazzed Up offers entertainment, philanthropy opportunities
Hilary Anderson, Freelance Reporter
Area residents often gather in Highwood
to have a drink, relax and listen to some
live music.
However, Saturday, Feb. 17, they did so
to help support a cause.
The Second Annual Jazzed up Dining
and Classical Cocktails fundraiser benefited
Midwest Young Artists Conservatory
(MYAC), the Midwest’s most comprehensive
youth music school and ensemble program
and Celebrate Highwood.
The event occurred last Saturday, Feb.
17, at the MYAC building in Highwood, a
transformed former army stockade building
at Fort Sheridan, and is part of an ongoing
effort to support arts, music and culture.
There were musical performances by
MYAC students through the evening along
with appetizers, dinner and dessert buffets
from various North Shore restaurants and a
silent auction.
Guests also had the opportunity to tour
the former army stockade building.
Last year’s inaugural event raised
$10,000 for students admitted to the
MYAC programs.
Celebrate Highwood is excited to partner
with MYAC again to continue to supporting
arts, music and culture while bringing
people together for family friendly festivals
and events through the year,” said Eric
Falberg, presdent of Celebrate Highwood
and a Highwood alderman.
“We are celebrating MYAC’s 25th anniversary”
said Allan Dennis, founder and
president of the arts program. “We currently
serve 1,000 students in 74 Chicago area
communities. All of the money raised at
Jazzed Up Dining and Classical Cocktails
will be given to talented students admitted
to our program if they cannot afford the tuition.
Many of our students are from our
own communities.”
Evan Diehrich, a Highland Park High
School freshman, currently studies jazz at
MYAC .
“I started in classical but had an interest
in jazz since I was about 10,” he said.
“MYAC has a great program in jazz and
wonderful support.”
Diehrich also is a member of the HPHS
choir and has a brother, Liam, who plays in
MYAC’s symphony.
Miriam Friedman, an eighth-grade student
at Edgewood Middle School, studies
Joey Ranieri, 16, of Palatine, performs
with the Midwest Young Artists Jazz
Combo while drummer Alex Rivera, of
Burr Ridge, looks on.
violin at MYAC.
“I have been playing the violin since
second grade but decided to attend classes
at MYAC,” she said. “They are inspirational
and teach us that anything is possible.”
Her sister, Avra, plays the flute and also
attends MYAC.
Lucy Rubin, an HPHS junior, also plays
the flute and is a MYAC student.
“I play in the school band, but being in
this program offers me the opportunity to
be in an orchestra. It has developed my
repertoire and increased my music education
in performance and conducting.”
Jonah Karsh, a senior at Evanston Township
High School, says he has been interested
in music since he was about 5. He
sees his future as a jazz pianist.
“At first I did not have formal classes but
occasionally played by ear,” Karsh said. “I
like jazz because it is somewhat improvisational.
I would like to be a jazz pianist
professional performer.”
Karsh says he learned about MYAC
through a friend he met at jazz camp.
“This is my third year at MYAC,” Karsh
said. “The people here are great, not just
great teachers but great, experienced people,
many from around the Chicago area.
They have a passion for jazz.”

Walter A. Burkhardt
Walter A. Burkhardt,
91, of Columbia, Md.,
died Feb. 4. He was born
Nov. 25, 1926 in Illinois,
and was the son of Albert
and Ida (Houseman) Burkhardt.
Burkhardt grew
up in Highwood where
he graduated from high
school. He went onto
school further to become
an electrical draftsman at a
large company in Chicago.
In 1961, he met Virginia
Mae Campbell at a
dance and they were married
later that year. They
spent the next 53 years
together until her death
in 2015. Their two sons,
Walter and Robert, were
born while they lived in
Chicago. They lived for
several years on the north
side of Chicago in Evanston
and Deerfield. Sometime
in 1969, the two of
them visited a travel show
where they saw an ad for
some property for sale
near Grand Lake, Colo.
(Several years later, they
would buy some property
and build a cabin there).
In 1970, the two of them
moved to Arvada, Colo.
Shortly after moving,

Walter lost his job due to a
layoff. But this turned out
to be good for him because
he got a job working as a
water meter reader for the
City of Arvada. That job
was great for him since it
got him outside and meeting
with people. He loved
to meet new people. After
going into a room of
people, within 30 minutes
he would know everyone’s
name and place of
birth. Virginia and Walter
bought and sold houses
three times in Arvada finally
ending up in a small
house on the Lake Arbor
Golf Course.
Burkhardt loved Virginia
very much and often
said how she was the only
one for him. They loved
hiking in Rocky Mountain
National park, fishing off
the back of their Cabin,
and golfing in Grand Lake
and at their house in Arvada.
The two of them
played golf until they were
85 years old. They lived in
Colorado until about 2013
when they moved to Ellicott
City to be near their
two sons. After Virginia
passed away, Walter continued
to live by himself
until about March 2017,
when he moved to an Assisted
Living place in Columbia,
Maryland.
He was an avid Cubs
baseball fan and managed
to go out to a Cubs game
in Washington in 2017
(Cubs won) with his son
Robert. He is survived by
his two sons, Walter and
Robert; two granddaughters,
Andrea and Julie. He
was very much loved. Memorial

Elly’s Pancake House grows with customers over 20 years

Contributing Editor

Ted Tsekouras has helped
at his family’s restaurant
since the sixth grade.
Now, at 29 years old, the
Glenbrook South graduate
is helping his father
run Elly’s Pancake House.
The restaurant has been in
business for 20 years, and
while some of the menu has
changed, the family’s loyalty
to its customers hasn’t.
“We have a lot of loyal
followers and luckily
we’ve increased business
in the last few years,” said
Tsekouras, manager and
co-owner of the establishment.
“Every year is better
than the last. We have some
of our old-timers, people
that used to see me when I
was 14 or 15 starting here.
“You grow alongside
your customers.”
The restaurant’s name,
Elly, is rooted in Greek mythology
and has a special
meaning for the Tsekouras
family.
“Elly was the daughter
of a Greek god,” Tsekouras
said. “If I can remember
correctly, basically she
jumped off the cliff and she
was saved by Poseidon.
She became famous that
way. The main reason (for
the name) is my dad is from
this place in Greece called
Distomo, which is close to
Delphi, and the myth happened
in the town of Delphi.”
Tsekouras has literally
grown with the restaurant.
He never imagined that
he would take over for
his father, Jim, but halfway
through college he
switched majors to the culinary
arts. The younger
Tsekouras can be found at
the restaurant almost daily,
alongside his father. Now,
years after the restaurant
first opened, the family still
has loyal customers coming
back for their favorite
dishes prepared in-house
with fresh ingredients.
“We see a lot of places
opening up and fortunately
we’re still doing well,”
Tsekouras said.
The vast menu includes
plenty of time-tested recipes.
However, once a year,
Tsekouras goes through
the menu and changes out
some things to give customers
more options.
“We try to give the best
quality food at a fair price,”
Tsekouras said. “Personally,
I try all of our competitors
in the area and I try to
beat everyone.”
According to Tsekouras,
changing out the menu can
often be a struggle, as there
aren’t many dishes that
don’t sell. Customers need
not worry about their favorites,
though. Dishes like
Elly’s meaty cheesy and
western omelets, clubs, and
skirt steak with eggs breakfast
skillet are all safe.
“In the next couple
months, we’re going to try
and bring in dishes that are
different from other places
but are still pretty good,”
Tsekouras said.
With rising food prices,
Tsekouras is always striving
to find a balance between
maintaining Elly’s
quality of food while still
pricing the food appropriately.
“There is nothing wrong
with (buying) stuff out, if
you get a good product, but
if you can make it homemade
and it’s better and
fresh, why not?” he said.
“We’ve put a lot of work
into these recipes.”
Tsekouras’ dad is slowly
easing toward retirement,
but loyal customers can often
see Jim on a daily basis.
“I love this community,”
Tsekouras said. “A lot of
my regulars are some of
the kids that I grew up with
in high school and the old
timers that are here around
the area. The community
has been very supportive
of us and I’m happy to be a
part of it.”
Year-round favorites
A group of 22nd Century
Media editors dined at Elly’s
Pancake House to get
the inside scoop on some of
the restaurant’s best dishes.
With such as vast menu,
there was something for everyone’s
plate — whether
they craved sweet or savory.

Ave., Glenview

6 a.m.-4 p.m. daily
The breakfast quesadilla
($9.99), for example, combined
traditional scrambled
eggs with chorizo sausage,
bacon, hot giardiniera,
cheddar and Monterey Jack
cheese wrapped in a southwestern
chili tortilla. The
quesadilla was a filling mix
of flavors and a different
option than your standard
breakfast.
For those looking for a
sweeter option, Tsekouras
treated us to Elly’s cherry
almond waffle ($9.99),
Love Potion French toast
($8.99) and banana bread
French toast ($8.99). All
three are served with homemade
maple syrup served
hot.
The cherry almond waffle
is an almond-flavored
waffle topped with black
cherries, in-house roasted
almonds, vanilla ice cream
and whipped cream. This
breakfast item could double
as dessert, if desired.
The banana bread French
toast features thick slices
The Love Potion French toast ($8.99) is stuffed with
sweet cheese cream cheese and topped with glazed
strawberries and chocolate chips.
The skirt steak skillet ($10.99) is served with a
marinated and seasoned skirt steak, two eggs made
any way, hash browns, and your choice of toast.
The banana bread French toast ($8.99) is topped with
bananas, glazed strawberries and roasted pecans.
of banana bread dipped
in egg batter. The dish is
topped with sliced bananas,
glazed strawberries (made
in-house of course) and
roasted pecans.
For those looking for
more savory options, Elly’s
offers a skirt steak skillet
($10.99) that is served with
a marinated and seasoned
skirt steak, two eggs made
any way, hash browns, and
your choice of toast.
Elly’s offers a widevariety
of lunch options,
as well. Its chicken pesto
panini ($9.99) is a good
option for panini-lovers
everywhere. The sandwich
combines chicken,
sun-dried tomatoes, onions,
mozzarella and pesto
mayonnaise into one toasted
delight on sourdough
bread.
No matter your taste, Elly’s
has an option for you.

Allison Antman is a senior at Highland
Park High School and runs both crosscountry
and track and field events.
How did you get started running
cross-country and track?
So, kind of weird story. I got running
playing soccer ... I loved soccer, it was
my favorite sport. My dad always told
me that I was a really quick runner. I was
so important to the team because no one
was able to catch me when I had the ball.
... I decided to join the cross-country
team because I thought it would condition
me for soccer ... so now I’ve just
stuck with it and now here I am.
Why do you love running crosscountry
and track?
The word you could call it is personal.
Yeah, you’re competing against everyone
else but the part that is so cool is that I have
records that I keep for myself. I know my
best times in all of the events I run. Each
time I run that I try and beat that time.
What is the most challenging part
of the sport?
It’s time consuming, but so is every other
sport. It’s hard to be mentally strong. It’s
really easy to give up. All you’re doing is
running straight and turning left. That’s
all the sport is. No skill required. It’s really
hard to tell yourself during a race to
keep moving your legs.
What was a memorable moment
during your running career?
This is kind of silly, it’s not a great memory,
but my freshman year we were at a
conference meet and I was in a relay. It
was during one of the exchanges, one girl
was handing (the baton) off to the next
person. She accidentally threw the baton.
The baton caught air and went to the
other side of the track. Your first instinct
is to follow the baton and pick it up, but
then she ran to get it, she ran into the girl
in the lane next. It was kind of a crash.
It’s not the best, but it’s the funniest.
Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media
What is your go-to pump-up song?
I listen to Beyonce, like any song. It
always puts me in a good mood.
What is your favorite food?
Hands down ice cream, I can eat ice
cream any time of the day.
If you could travel anywhere in the
world, where would you go?
I want to go to the Amazon and go on an
adventure around the Amazon.
What is something on your bucket
list you want to do?
I want to swim with sharks. Everyone
thinks I’m crazy when I say that.
What is your favorite professional
athlete?
My family is from Argentina so we grew
up watching soccer, so by default my
favorite athlete is Lionel Messi.
What is one thing people don’t
know about you?
I really don’t like mushrooms.

Boys Hockey
Giants face tough Carmel in postseason play
Brittany Kapa
Sports Editor
Highland Park’s season
has been peppered with
ups and downs.
Highland Park saw early
success against teams local
and in other states. However,
the long season took
a toll on the team recently
as the team was hoping to
make a comeback during
postseason action.
The Giants faced their
biggest challenge of late,
Tuesday, Feb. 13, in the
first game of the Amateur
Hockey Association Illinois
playoffs. Carmel hosted
the Giants at Glacier Ice
Arena in Vernon Hills in a
Red Division matchup.
Highland Park freshman
goalie Jack Manone made
35 saves during the night
but that wasn’t enough to
hold 16th-seeded Carmel
at bay. The Giants’ season
ended in a 2-1 loss to the
Corsairs.
Manone’s performance
was noticed by the crowd
and his teammates alike
as he stopped point-blank
shots and second attempts
for a majority of the game,
to Carmel’s frustration.
“That kid has been
standing on his head all
year for us,” senior defenseman
Charlie Levine-
Wolf said. “He is a freshman
and his composure in
unbelievable. He’s like a
little brother to all of us,
I love the kid. He kept us
in that game. (Carmel) was
on our side a lot and the
kid stood on his head.”
The Corsairs controlled
puck possession for much
of the game, but Manone
stayed solid throughout.
He recorded 17 saves in
the third period alone. The
Giants, on the other hand,
had only 19 shots on net
the entire game.
“He gave us a really
good chance to win and
unfortunately we couldn’t
finish,” Levine-Wolf said.
After having lost both of
their Illinois High School
Hockey League playoff
games to Evanston, the Giants
were hoping to fare
better in the AHAI playoff
series.
“Obviously, we wish we
could have gone farther, it
happens; it’s playoffs and
stuff like that happens,”
Levine-Wolf said.
Carmel scored first in
the first period. The Giants
were called for 16 minutes
of penalty time in that period
alone, including Kyle
Powers, who was cited for
a 10-minute misconduct
penalty with 5 minutes, 33
seconds left in the first.
Powers’ absence on
the ice didn’t stop the Giants
from making it an
even game in the second,
however. Sam Shachtman
found the back of the
next just 17 seconds into
the period. Michael Gallo,
despite having a broken
hand, assisted on the goal.
Carmel scored the
game-winning goal with
12 minutes left in the third
period. Giants’ coach Sean
Freeman pulled Manone
for the extra attacker with
a minute left, but to no
avail.
After the game, each of
the 10 seniors filed out of
the locker room to thank
their coaches for the season.
Most, as Freeman
said, have played for him
for three years. It was a
bittersweet moment that
punctuated a season of ups
and downs.
“This body of work, this
is something that you hold
your head up high and be

School. Photos by Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media
proud of,” Freeman said.
Last year, Freeman had
his first losing season as
a coach and came into the
season with the mindset
that he wasn’t going to
repeat that this year. Freeman
knew if they were going
to be competitive this
year, the team would have
to train and play more like
a Catholic League team.
It worked, for a time. The
Giants finished the regular
season 33-16 and were
ranked at least no worse
than 15th this season, often
hovering around the
10th or 11th spot.
“Once you put your foot
on the gas pedal, it’s hard
to keep it there for six
months straight,” Freeman
said. “We had eight or nine
guys with double-digit in
goals (this season); I’ve
never had that before.
“We never had a scoring
drought and then we
get to the last couple of
weeks and we just couldn’t
score.”

the game.
The Giants’ loss against
Carmel wasn’t for a lack
of trying though. Levine-
Wolf, for example, took
a slap shot to the left leg
midway through the second
period. He limped off
the ice after that but was
back out next shift.
“Especially tonight, I
wanted to leave it all out
on the ice because I had
nothing to lose,” he said.
“I wanted to win really
badly but more than that I
wanted to be proud of myself
when I step off the ice
the last time.”
The chances the Giants
did have were thwarted
by Carmel’s goalie Zack
Abrams. He seemed to
be an impenetrable brick
wall, one that didn’t give
up many second chances.
“As a team we had much
higher expectations than
what unfolded by the end
of the season,” Levine-
Wolf said.

Boys Swimming
Vorobev state-bound after
sectional performance
David Jaffe
Freelance Reporter
Jake Reisner of Highland Park couldn’t be more excited
after finishing the 50-yard freestyle during the Lake
Forest sectional swim meet Saturday.
Highland Park’s Andrew
Vorobev has improved
dramatically in the
100-yard butterfly.
Despite having qualified
for state in the 100
backstroke the last two
seasons, he chose to compete
in the fly at the Lake
Forest Sectional Saturday,
Feb. 17, and the 200-yard
individual medley at the
sectional instead of the
back.
Vorobev took second
in each event, qualifying
for state by exceeding
the state cut in both
the fly (52.08) and the IM
(1:55.65).
“I had focused on back
the last two seasons,” he
said. “But I had been doing
well in the fly and the
decision was between doing
the fly and back or fly
and IM. My confidence in
the fly was high right now
so I ended up doing the
IM. I was happy with my
time in the fly.”
Vorobev had fast times
despite trying to quickly
recover from a sprained
ankle.
“I sprained my ankle
this week,” Vorobev said.
“I couldn’t walk for a
couple of days but I iced
it and taped it and it feels
much better. I had a good
week of practice and
was able to recover well
enough.”
What makes Vorobev
good in the IM is that the
fly and the back, his two
strongest events, are the
first two strokes in the
medley. That’s a big positive
for Vorobev.
“It’s a big advantage
that the first two strokes
are my best ones,” Vorobev
said. “It sets me
up for a fast race and I’m
able to feed off of that the
rest of the way.”
This will be his third
year at the state meet and
he’s learned what he has
to do to succeed.
“The level of energy at
state is unlike anything
that you’re going to see
in another meet,” Vorobev
said. “I’ve learned that
you have to let that energy
overcome you and use it
to your advantage.”

Giants hold Warriors at bay in home win
Brittany Kapa
Sports Editor
The last time the Giants
faced Deerfield, it was a
lopsided win in their favor.
The two teams last faced
each other Jan. 12, at Deerfield,
and Highland Park
crushed their rival 50-26.
This time around, the Giants
had to work a little
harder for the win.
Coming off an overtime
loss the night before to
Glenbrook North, the Giants
knew that they would
have to dig deep during
their latest game.
Both teams played a
competitive 32 minutes,
but Highland Park pulled
ahead late in the fourth
quarter for the 39-33 home
win Friday, Feb. 16.
“That was the thing that
we talked about upstairs
that we’re the most proud
of, because it really says
something about the character
of our group,” said
Paul Harris, Highland
Park’s coach. “We knew
when we lost last night
it probably meant that
we weren’t even going
to have a chance to share
the conference title with
Maine West but to bounce
back and play the way we
played tonight is just a
great feeling.”
The Giants may have
ended the game happy, but
the start was far from it.
Highland Park didn’t get
on the board until more
than halfway through the
first quarter. Dan Michelon
scored his team’s first
two points off a pair of
free throws. The Warriors
led 10-6 by the end of the
quarter.
Highland Park pushed
hard in the second and
went on a 16-3 run to gain

against rival Deerfield. Photos by Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media
the lead over the visiting
team. By halftime, the Giants
led 20-15.
“As seniors and looking
forward we knew this was
our last conference game
and this was our last time
competing in the playoffs
and we don’t want to be
looking back and be disappointed,”
senior Ziv Tal
said about the comeback.
Both teams kept pace
with each other in the
third, with the Giants
putting up 10 points and
Deerfield adding another
eight to their score. The
fourth, however, was a different
animal.
Knowing they had
ground to make up, Deerfield
stayed on Highland
Park’s tail the entire fourth
quarter. With only five
points worth of breathing
room at any one point for
the Giants, it took a group
effort from the team to
hold the lead.
With a little more than
a minute and a half left,
Deerfield cut Highland
Park’s lead to only three
points.
Perhaps one of the biggest
moments of the game
for the Giants came when
Noah Shutan attempted a
layup that was ultimately
blocked by the Warriors’
defense. Tyler Gussis contributed
six points total in
the game, but his last two
were the most important.
Gussis followed Shutan all
the way to the basket, and
when Shutan’s layup didn’t
hit the mark Gussis was
right there for the tip-in.
“The two points it is
worth on the scoreboard
does not show what it is
actually worth,” Tal said
about Gussis’ basket. “It
changed momentum, it
changed everything. That
was a huge play.”
“He is one of those guys
that has a knack for making
winning plays and that
was a great example of
him just anticipating and

not assuming Noah’s layup
was going to go in,” Harris
said. “His timing was great
and I’ve never seen him
jump so high.”
The accolades for that
shot continued, as teammate
Shutan (7 points) was
grateful that his teammate
had his back.
“That is the second time
he has had a tip-in to take
it from one possession to
two late in the game,” Shutan
said.
Deerfield, with fouls
to give and time running
out, got aggressive in
the remaining minute of
the game. Highland Park
didn’t rattle easy though.
“I thought we took care
of the ball really well,
which helped us get to the
bonus,” Harris said.
The last five of the Giants’
points came from the
line. Tal ended the game
with a team-high 13 points;
Michelon was another top
contributor with eight.
Harris was complimentary
of the way his team stayed
with a competitive Deerfield
squad.
“Playing against Deerfield
is really hard because
they have multiple shooters
and Alex Casieri is a
great shooter,” Harris said.
“With their size, it’s finding
that middle ground.
We just can’t pack it in on
their size because we have
to get out on the shooters.
If we get too far out on the
shooters it opens things up
on the interior for them.”
Shutan, and his team,
were just happy they could
end their regular season
conference play on a high
note.
“We’ve been playing
against the same Deerfield
team since we were 8 years
old,” he said. “There is just
a lot of pride in trying to
win the last one.”

Rosenbloom goes 1-2 at state tournament

Alex Rosenbloom’s
season ended in heartbreak.
The Highland Park senior’s
run through the
IHSA Class 3A State
Wrestling Tournament
was cut short as he fell 2-1
in a tiebreaker to Fremd’s
Cole Riemer Saturday,
Feb. 17, at the State Farm
Center in Champaign.
Rosenbloom went 1-2
in the 145-pound bracket
of the tournament, falling
in his first match to Joe
Roberts of Yorkville by an
8-3 decision.
And while the Giants
wrestler was down, he
was far from out.
Rosenbloom won his
first wrestle back match
by a major decision, dominating
Jacob Tinajero of
Marmion Academy 11-3.
That would be his lone
win of the tournament,
however, as he squared
off with Riemer in his
next match.
It may not be the outcome
Rosenbloom and
the Giants had hoped for,
but it was one of the few
blemishes he had on his
otherwise stellar season.
