Much-deserved rejuvenation 

Winnetka Youth 

Organization 

celebrates newly 

designed center 

Jacqueline Glosniak, Editor 

For nearly 50 years, the 

Winnetka Youth Organization 

has been a second 

home for local teens, providing 

them a fun, safe 

space for positive programming 

and service projects. 

But when major water 

damage as the result of a 

busted sprinkler system rendered 

the WYO’s beloved 

drop-in center at the Winnetka 

Community House 

out of commission, both the 

kids of the WYO and local 

adults banded together to 

make the headquarters feel 

like home again. 

According to Christina 

New drywall, couches and media equipment are among the things WYO teens and local 

adults in the community were able to help purchase and donate to remodel the space. 

Gikas, executive director 

for the WYO, the problem 

began in mid-October 

when a sprinkler system in 

the basement of the Winnetka 

Community House 

was accidentally clipped, 

leading to water spewing 

throughout the drop-in 

center for approximately 

three hours. Flooding then 

ensued, resulting in nearly 

6 inches of standing water 

Please see wyo, 9 

The Winnetka Youth Organization’s drop-in center, 

located in the basement of the Winnetka Community 

House, suffered severe water damage due to a sprinkler 

accident in mid-October. All items in the space needed 

to be scrapped. PHOTOS SUBMITTED

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-by-play 

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.”

Victim of ’88 Winnetka shooting named 

director of new Archdiocese program 

Daniel I. Dorfman 

Freelance Reporter 

Winnetka native Phil 

Andrew has been appointed 

the director of Violence 

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 a disturbed 

Glencoe woman 

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, 

shooting Andrew in the 

chest before she took her 

own life. 

Andrew survived the 

shooting, eventually becoming 

the executive 

director of the Illinois 

Council Against Handgun 

Violence, Inc. and working 

as assistant counsel 

for the Chicago Housing 

Authority. 

Andrew then moved 

on 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. 

Through an Archdiocese 

spokeswoman, 

Andrew declined to be 

interviewed. She said Andrew 

began his role on 

Feb. 1.

damaging carpeting, the 

walls, furniture, technology 

and most other belongings 

situated in the space. 

“Literally everything we 

had in there was gone,” Gikas 

said. 

Despite the damage, Gikas 

said the accident did 

not put a damper on the 

spirits of the WYO. Instead, 

she said, the incident 

ended up being a great way 

for the teens to renovate 

and reclaim the space as a 

better space than before. 

While the Winnetka 

Community House was responsible 

for replacing the 

drywall, Gikas said over 

a two-month span, both 

teens and adults throughout 

the community — including 

those who grew 

up with the WYO from 

years past — donated or 

helped purchase new music 

equipment, computers, 

furniture and other decorations 

to remodel the center. 

“The community was really, 

really supportive and 

empathetic of the situation 

and wanting to help,” she 

said. “The teens really advocated 

for the space too, 

and got their parents to donate.” 

What also made the renovations 

more special was 

the fact that the old center 

had not been changed in 

more than 20 years, and 

now, the space reflects the 

interests of modern teens. 

“We had a lot of participation, 

a lot of ideas coming 

from the teens,” she said. “It 

was actually so much fun 

because they were able to 

make the space their own.” 

So, with the slogan, 

“New Year. New WYO.,” 

the WYO introduced their 

newly designed center to 

the community at an open 

house on Jan. 28. 

“It is really astonishing to 

see how many people value 

the WYO,” Gikas said.

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.

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.”

Vintage Valentine’s Day 

Winnetka Historical 

Society throws 

Victorian tea party 

Alexa Burnell 


Several young ladies 

from across Winnetka 

spent their day off from 

school on Feb. 12 relaxing 

with a spot of tea during the 

Winnetka Historical Society’s 

Victorian Valentine’s 

Day Tea Party at the Winnetka 

Historical Society 

Museum, 411 Linden St. 

Board President Helen 

Weaver, dressed in her finest 

Victorian-era attire, eagerly 

greeting the group of 

girls, telling them about the 

day’s events. First on the 

agenda was the chance to 

make a heart-shaped sachet 

filled with cloves. 

“People didn’t have the 

ability to wash belongings 

as frequently as we do 

now, so a fragrant sachet 

was sure to make everything 

smell nice and fresh,” 

Weaver said. 

After the craft was complete, 

Weaver insisted the 

girls wash their hands before 

the start of the tea party. 

As girls looked around 

for a sink, Weaver quickly 

lead them to a pitcher and 

basin, explaining that there 

was no indoor plumbing 

during this era. 

“Can you imagine not 

having running water and 

indoor plumbing?” Weaver 

asked. “Things were very 

different long ago and people 

did not have access to 

many of the things we now 

take for granted.” 

Soon, the guests took 

their seats at the dining table, 

where fine china, peppermint 

tea, pink lemonade 

and a variety of cookies, 

crackers and sandwiches 

awaited them. 

After the meal, girls 

enjoyed vintage toys and 

playing old fashioned 

games, while Weaver explained 

how the event was 

part of the Winnetka Historical 

Society’s overarching 

mission to offer more 

family friendly programming. 

“People often think of a 

historical society and think, 

‘stuffy’,” Weaver said. 

“But we are proving to be 

anything but. Over the past 

year, we have consciously 

worked at adding familyfriendly 

events including 

the holiday log cabin celebration, 

a Halloween party, 

participation in Screen 

Break week, and of course, 

our beloved second annual 

Victorian Tea Party.” 

Tane Beecham, executive 

director for the Winnetka 

Historical Society’s 

Executive Director, said 

events like the tea party allow 

staff and board members 

to connect with an 

audience that may not otherwise 

think to visit. 

“An event like this one is 

a great way for us to reach 

out to the community and 

tell them about all that we 

have to offer,” she said. 

“So many times, a new individual 

comes in and says, 

‘I never knew about all the 

programs you offer.’ I love 

that we are reaching out 

and bringing a variety of 

new people here to enjoy 

what we have in store for 

them.” 

Aimee Garrison, of Winnetka, 

attended the tea 

party with her daughter, 

saying the historical society’s 

efforts have not gone 

unnoticed. 

“This event, and all their 

events, are just wonderful,” 

Garrison said. “The historical 

society is a hidden gem; 

they make learning about 

our own village’s history 

fun and educational, all at 

the same time.”

New Trier student starts 

philanthropic basketball company 

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

Ethan Rosen may have 

global business aspirations 

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. 

Rosen recently partnered 

up with Aspiritech, 

a company out of Highland 

Park, to put on an

The Easy Hoops team (left to right) Max Drexler, photo

Lutz Family Center in Highland Park. Photo submitted 

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. 

“The more you help other 

people, the more you’re 

helping yourself,” Rosen 

said. “I’ve always been a 

people person.” 

According to its website, 

Aspiritech harnesses 

the strengths of people 

with autism — attention 

to detail, precision, an affinity 

for repetitive tasks 

and outstanding technology 

skills. They use this to 

provide high quality, competitively-priced, 

domestic 

software testing and other 

quality assurance services. 

The company hires people 

on the higher-functioning 

end of the autism spectrum. 

Rosen is a busy guy. He 

is the president of the Find 

a Cure Service Board for 

Leukemia Lymphoma Society, 

Illinois Chapter. He 

is a team captain for Team 

Tyler of Autism Speaks 

Northshore. His is also 

vice president for SCOPE 

Midwest Junior Leadership. 

An honors Spanish 

student at New Trier, 

Rosen will be studying 

in Salamanca, Spain this 

summer. 

“I have education and 

opportunities to pursue 

things in my life that many 

aren’t able to,” Rosen said. 

“With the mindset that I’m 

beyond fortunate, I’ve taken 

it upon myself to help 

others have opportunities.”

Mindful Money 

Winter Olympic Games offer 

lessons in financial management 

Kathy Roeser 

Contributing Columnist 

We’ve been captivated 

by figure 

skaters, skiers, 

snowboarders, bobsledders 

and all the rest of the 

world-class athletes competing 

at the highest level 

in the Winter Olympics. 

Although thousands 

of miles away in Pyeongchang, 

our village 

boasts an exciting connection 

to this year’s games. 

Star figure skater Bradie 

Tennell trained at the 

Skokie Valley Skating Club 

housed just down the road 

at the Winnetka Ice Arena. 

As we cheer on Tennell 

and the other Olympians, 

keep in mind that the 

Olympic Games offer 

many important lessons in 

money management. Here 

are a few takeaways: 

Start early 

Most Olympic athletes 

have trained since they 

were very young. Only 

years after learning the 

basics and refining their 

craft have they arrived on 

the world stage in South 

Korea. 

Our approach to money 

School News 

CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY 

Kristen Doyle, of Winnetka, 

was named to Cedarville 

University’s dean’s 

management should not be 

much different. It’s crucial 

to discuss and teach core 

personal finance concepts 

such as saving, borrowing 

and paying debts at a 

young age. This provides 

younger generations with 

ample time to grasp the 

importance of financial 

literacy and develop key 

skillsets before they must 

assume increased fiscal 

responsibility. 

Plan for obstacles 

From gates and moguls 

to slick conditions, jumps 

and sharp turns, athletes in 

the Winter Olympics must 

navigate a wide array of 

obstacles before reaching 

the medal podium. 

Similarly, the path to 

effective money management 

can be filled with its 

own share of challenges, 

some easier to navigate 

than others. For example, 

unexpected emergencies, 

student loan debt and economic 

conditions outside 

of our control are all common 

financial challenges 

that may inhibit or change 

our financial path. By taking 

a proactive approach 

and planning ahead, 

however, once daunting 

financial obstacles may 

become more manageable. 

The planning process 

is actually quite similar to 

how an Olympic athlete 

may develop a detailed 

game plan prior to competing 

in an event. Building 

an emergency fund or developing 

a budget are strategies 

individuals should 

list for the fall semester. 

consider incorporating into 

their financial planning. 

Stay committed 

Training for the Olympics 

requires a significant 

amount of time and 

dedication. Many athletes 

reach a point where they 

question whether they can 

actually make it, but unwavering 

commitment to 

a long-term goal ultimately 

pushes them onward. 

Just like training, financial 

management requires 

a certain level of unwavering 

commitment. Whether 

it be digging out of debt, 

consistently putting away 

money for retirement or 

staying true to your individualized 

investing plan, 

achieving most long-term 

financial goals takes time 

and patience. 

Maintaining perspective 

is key. Consider setting a 

few short-and-mediumterm 

benchmarks to help 

build confidence along the 

way to your larger financial 

objectives. 

Though the Winter 

Olympics will soon draw 

to a close, many of the 

financial lessons derived 

from the games can last 

well into the future.

Joe Coughlin 

Publisher 

In my first year as a 

community newsman, 

a role I was not yet 

sure suited me, I got a call 

from a troubled woman. 

One morning, her husband 

— a relatively young, 

vibrant man — did not 

wake up. With the breakfast 

table set and the kids 

patiently waiting, the man 

of the house never walked 

down the stairs. 

In his sleep, to the shock 

of all, he had slipped into 

a coma. 

As medical bills mounted, 

the family of humble 

means decided to raffle 

off the husband’s prized 

possession: a rehabbed, 

vintage motorcycle. 

So, in the newspaper, 

a sister of The Winnetka 

Current, I wrote about it. 

A couple weeks later, I 

got another call from the 

same woman — now, a bit 

less troubled. The family 

received more than enough 

entries to hold the raffle, 

and the winner gave the 

motorcycle back to its 

rightful owner.

then. Local news matters 

now.

Vowing to never forget 

Jacqueline Glosniak 

jacqueline@winnetkacurrent.com 

Tragically, Feb. 14, 

2018, will now be 

remembered as 

another unfortunate date 

in American history in 

which a school shooting 

occurred, ending the 

lives of innocent children 

and adults simply going 

about their days doing 

something this country 

promotes as one of the 

best things about it — the 

freedom to an education. 

While seven minutes in 

any ordinary day usually 

fly by, surely, the seven 

minutes of gunfire and 

terror felt like an uncertain 

eternity for those 

trapped in the classrooms, 

hallways, closets and 

bathrooms of Marjory 

Stoneman Douglas High 

School in Parkland, Fla. 

And now, for the rest 

of their days, the families 

of the deceased and the 

thousands who survived 

the horror will feel pain 

caused by the cruel violence 

inflicted upon them 

by a mentally unstable 

person wielding a firearm. 

In news reports, Parkland 

has been described 

as a town considered 

beautiful, safe and 

comfortable — a South 

Florida gem for raising a 

family and living life the 

way it was meant to be 

lived. 

Many of the same 

words were used to 

describe Winnetka in 

the days following the 

devastation following 

Winnetka’s own school 

shooting incident on 

May 20, 1988, when a 

deranged Glencoe woman 

opened fire at Hubbard 

Woods School, injuring 

five students, killing 

8-year-old Nick Corwin, 

and later, injuring nearby 

Winnetka resident Philip 

Andrew. 

“How could this have 

happened in Winnetka?” 

people continued to ask. 

“Why did this happen?” 

“How can we prevent 

this from happening to 

Winnetka students and 

schools across America?” 

In the 30 years leading 

up to the horror at 

Hubbard Woods, a school 

shooting was something 

unheard of. But in the 30 

years following, school 

shootings have seemingly 

become commonplace. 

Alongside fire drills, students 

now practice active 

shooter drills. 

Think about how disgusting 

that is. 

While new families and 

children of Winnetka may 

not have even realized 

this incident occurred, the 

Winnetkans of yesteryear 

did their best to ensure 

life would continue to go 

on in town in the matter 

in which it was intended 

to. A park was named 

after Corwin, and over 

the last three decades, 

Winnetka has continued to 

be a sought-after Chicago 

suburb to move into and 

raise a family in. An idyllic 

place along the shore, 

suburban perfection, 

old-fashioned community 

values. It would seem that 

Winnetka has fully healed 

from its nightmare. 

How Parkland will ever 

return to its original state, 

I don’t know. But what I 

do know is that the teens 

who are speaking up and

refusing to accept this 

as the norm are heroes. 

Much like Winnetka’s 

Andrew has dedicated 

his life to speaking out 

against gun violence, 

those Parkland youths 

are becoming beacons 

of hope and catalysts for 

change for a better tomorrow.

Rookie magazine creator visits fans in Winnetka 

Hilary Anderson 


Young people still like to 

read. 

It was evident on Feb. 

13, when around 70 young 

women, many with their 

mothers, gathered at The 

Book Stall in Winnetka to 

hear author and fashion 

trailblazer Tavi Gevinson 

talk about her career as a 

writer, editor and actress 

and read from her newest 

book, “Rookie on Love.” 

Gevinson, who’s career 

first began at age 11 when 

she created the blog, Style 

Rookie, launched Rookie 

online magazine at 15, featuring 

articles from fashion 

to pop culture, feminism 

and politics, and everything 

in between. Gevinson has 

had her work followed by 

Karl Lagerfeld and Anna 

Wintour, attended New 

York and Paris fashion 

weeks as a teen, and even 

starred in movies and on 

TV. 

Now 21 years old and 

living in New York City, 

Gevinson came to Winnetka 

to promote her latest 

book, which is an anthology 

of short stories, essays, 

poetry and interviews about 

thoughts or experiences of 

love written by Gevinson 

and selected contributors. 

Three of Gevinson’s 

contributors to the book 

were local writers who also 

read their selections from 

“Rookie on Love,” including 

Wilmette’s Jessica 

Hopper, Upasna Barath, 

from North Central College 

in Naperville and Chicago 

resident Jasmine Sanders. 

“We chose love for the 

book because that’s the 

subject area from which we 

received the most questions 

for our advice columns,” 

Gevinson said. “Romantic 

“Rookie on Love” by 

Tavi Gevinson 

$14.95 

Available at The Book 

Stall, 811 Elm Street, 

Winnetka 

love is the biggest one, then 

friends, family stuff, selfesteem 

and self-respect. 

We thought it would bring 

a lot of those topics together 

in this one book.” 

Gevinson told the crowd 

that to create “Rookie 

on Love,” she contacted 

regular contributors to her 

Rookie online magazine 

and those she and her staff 

admired for their work — 

those who truly know what 

it means to understand another 

person. 

First to read was Barath, 

who had just gone through 

a breakup. 

“Writing this was a 

way for me to process it,” 

Barath said. “It talks about 

commitment when you are 

so young and feeling the 

sense of discomfort when 

you do it.” 

Next was Hopper, who 

once served as Rookie’s 

music critic. 

“My definition of love 

has changed,” she said. 

“When I was younger, I 

hated men. As I got older, 

I judged women and used 

feminism as a yardstick.” 

Hopper ended by talking 

about how her outlook on 

life changed. 

Sanders read an essay she 

wrote about teenage love 

that compared herself to 

the character, Sethe, in Toni 

Morrison’s, “Beloved” and 

“Maternal Ambivalence,” 

and an experience in her 

own life that raised the issue 

of a woman’s right to 

have control over her reproductive 

future. 

Wilmette resident Jessica Hopper, a local Rookie 

contributor, addresses the crowd. 

Gevinson then read one 

of her essays included in 

“Rookie on Love.” 

Following the readings, 

Gevinson opened the floor 

for questions and answers. 

Some wanted to know how 

the group of young women 

got started. 

“Rookie gives voice to 

girls, encouraging them 

to speak up, meet up and 

make stuff,” Gevinson 

said. “It empowers them to 

submit their stories, ideas 

and artwork to the site and 

participate in media rather 

than letting it control them. 

It is a supportive environment 

where many have felt 

comfortable sharing the 

details of their inner lives, 

particularly when it comes 

to love.” 

Hopper was a member of 

the original Rookie editorial 

team. Previously, she was a 

senior editor of MTV News 

and currently, is writing 

her memoirs about being a 

young writer in Chicago. 

Sanders started writing 

professionally about two 

years ago. 

“I read a lot and use social 

media to find people who 

want to be writers,” Sanders 

said. “I write about feminism, 

criticism and essays.” 

Barath is a college junior 

who wants to pursue a job 

in marketing research for 

television and film. 

“I had a blog in high 

school and a link to my 

page on my Twitter profile,” 

she said. “Tavi found 

my work and asked me to 

be a contributor to her online 

magazine.” 

Many of those present at 

The Book Stall reading expressed 

their admiration for 

Gevinson. 

“Tavi gives tips on 

friendships that are important,” 

said Jordana Bornstein, 

a senior at Deerfield 

High School. 

“I have been following 

her for a long time,” fan Allie 

McRaith added. “She is 

an inspiration to us, speaks 

the truth and is someone to 

whom we can relate.”

educational ministry encompassed 

elementary 

grade schools as a teacher 

and principal, service as a 

reading consultant for the 

Joliet Diocesan Catholic 

School Office, and cofounder 

and co-director of 

the Fran Center (a program 

to assist students at various 

levels in remedial education) 

in Darien. In 1985, 

she began ministering at 

Our Lady of the Ridge 

Parish in Chicago Ridge 

as a pastoral minister. In 

the 20 years she served 

at Our Lady of the Ridge 

Parish, she coordinated 

the training program for 

Ministers of Care and performed 

various outreach 

ministries to the elderly, 

the homebound and those 

in nursing homes and hospitals. 

Helen McPherson 

Helen McPherson, 91, 

died Feb. 9 in Boulder, 

Colo. She graduated from 

New Trier High School 

and National College of 

Education in Evanston. In 

1949, she married Gordy 

McPherson and lived in 

Northbrook, where they 

raised their three children. 

The majority of 

McPherson’s career was 

spent teaching elementary 

school in Northbrook, 

which she loved and was 

able to inspire children 

with a love to learn. Her 

love of learning and people 

led her to pursue coursework 

in the field of social 

work. Though she did 

not work in the field, she 

helped many people because 

of her kind and caring 

love of people. She and 

her husband retired in 1994 

and moved to Ft. Collins, 

Colo. and finally to Boulder 

to move closer to some 

of the family. Her church 

was very important to her 

and she and her husband 

were founding members 

of the Methodist Church 

in Northbrook, singing in 

the choir and doing whatever 

needed to be done at 

the church. McPherson 

was an inspiration to many 

people, much loved and 

will be missed by all who 

knew her. She is preceded 

in death by husband after 

67 years of marriage, and 

sisters Mary Ellen Martin 

and Peggy Scatchard. She 

is survived by her brother, 

Jack Wright, sister-in-law, 

Ellen McPherson, children 

Jeannie Barry (Dereck), 

Mac (Rosemarie) and 

Andy (Vicki); five grandchildren 

and five greatgrandchildren. 

Walter Dill Scott 

Walter Dill 

Scott, 86, a New 

Trier High School graduate, 

died Feb. 8 in Evanston 

from lymphoma. He 

graduated from New Trier 

in 1949, attended Williams 

College and graduated 

from Northwestern University 

in 1953. He received 

his MBA from Columbia 

University in 1958. After 

three years as an officer in 

the Navy, he began a long 

and successful career in 

business. He spent 15 years 

in investment banking in 

New York and Chicago, 

finally as a senior partner 

running the Chicago office 

for Lehman Brothers 

in the ’60s and early ’70s. 

Service was always a high 

priority, including two 

years as associate director 

of the United States Office 

of Management and Budget 

during the Nixon and 

Ford administrations. After 

leaving Washington D.C., 

he worked as EVP/CFO 

at Pillsbury (now General 

Mills), CEO of IDS 

Financial Services (now 

Ameriprise) and chairman/ 

CEO of Grand Metropolitan 

USA (now Diageo). In 

1988, he joined the faculty 

of the Kellogg School of 

Management at Northwestern 

University, where he 

taught courses in leadership 

and nonprofit board 

governance and co-founded 

the Center for Executive 

Women. As he described it, 

he mostly hung out and advised 

students and student 

organizations. He loved 

initiating and introducing 

new programs and activities. 

Most of the time, he 

felt he was the same age as 

the students. At Kellogg, he 

had an immense impact on 

the school and generations 

of students. He maintained 

strong and continuing relationships 

with many former 

students. He served on 

15 corporate boards and 25 

nonprofit boards, to which 

he devoted considerable 

time and effort and which 

he found particularly rewarding. 

In 1987, he had 

a life changing experience 

while serving with a Kairos 

Prison Ministry team in 

a men’s prison in Raeford, 

Fla. He felt his life transformed 

and became a committed 

Christian. He was 

blissfully married to the 

very special Barbara Stein 

Scott for 56 years. She enriched 

his life every day. 

Survivors include his wife, 

his three sons, Tim (Linda), 

David (Barb) and Gordon 

(Anne), of Northfield, and 

eight adored grandchildren, 

who taught him lots. 

His intelligence, sense of 

humor, optimism, whimsy 

and love of family, God 

and friends will be sorely 

missed by all. He was a 

mentor, strong influence 

and great example to many 

people. A memorial service 

was held Feb. 18 at 3:00 

p.m. at Winnetka Presbyterian 

Church.

when he painted in his attic 

studio, and keeping her

his death. After the war, 

she met Gordon H. Smith 

through mutual friends and

Elly’s Pancake House grows with customers over 20 years 

Brittany Kapa 

Contributing Sports 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.

The Love Potion French toast ($8.99) is stuffed with 

sweet cheese cream cheese and topped with glazed 

strawberries and chocolate chips. 

“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 home-

6 a.m.-4 p.m. daily 

made 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.” 

The breakfast quesadilla ($9.99) at Elly’s Pancake 

House includes scrambled eggs with chorizo sausage, 

bacon, hot giardiniera, cheddar and Monterey Jack 

cheese wrapped in a southwestern chili tortilla. Photos

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. 

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. 

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 of banana 

bread dipped in egg batter 

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, sundried 

tomatoes, onions, 

mozzarella and pesto mayonnaise 

into one toasted delight 

on sourdough bread. 

No matter your taste, Elly’s 

has an option for you.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Peter Chatain 

The senior is a rower on 

the New Trier rowing 

team. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a race? 

Two to three minutes before 

every race, we “pass 

the rock,” which means 

that the coxswain will fist 

bump stroke seat who will 

then fist bump seven seat 

and so on. 

When did you start 

rowing and why? 

Freshman year I did 

rowing and hockey. I liked 

the supportive team culture 

and how hard work 

directly leads to improvement 

so I picked rowing. 

If you had $3 to spend 

at Walgreens, what 

would you buy? 

A birthday card for my 

mom. 

What’s your favorite 

thing about your 

sport? 

The feeling of flow that I 

get when I’m on the water 

in a good boat and everything 

just clicks. It’s as if 

the boat clicks into another 

gear and our speed drops a 

couple splits. 

What’s the hardest 

part about rowing? 

The fact that you have 

to put in the work consistently, 

day by day, all year 

long despite there only being 

one or two races each 

year that everyone cares 

about. 

What’s the best part 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

Being surrounded by a 

lot of other hardworking 

athletes. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

I would travel to Australia 

and visit my two brothers 

who live there. 

If you had one 

superpower, what 

would it be and why? 

People don’t realize 

how over powered super 

speed is. In order to have 

super speed, your brain 

has to be able to work at 

Photo submitted 

several thousand times 

normal levels. I could 

read a couple books a day, 

do all my homework and 

still have time to save the 

world. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

New Trier? 

One time, I ate this really 

good sandwich freshman 

year. It’s been a staple 

of my diet ever since. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

Get excited about and 

look forward to the things 

that you do. Applied to 

rowing, instead of dreading 

our land workouts on 

the erg, I look forward 

to them. It makes a lot of 

things that you want to do 

easier.

Girls Basketball 

Ramblers hustle past Wildkits for regional crown 

Eric DeGrechie, Managing Editor 

In basketball, the best shooters 

will often keep shooting to 

break out of a cold streak. 

Loyola Academy’s Julia 

Martinez seemed to be in that 

predicament during the first 

half of her team’s Class 4A 

Lane Tech regional title game 

versus Evanston on Thursday, 

Feb. 15, in Chicago. The junior 

point guard shrugged off the 

slow start en route to leading 

all scorers with 26 points as 

the No.3-seeded Ramblers defeated 

the Wildkits, 47-31, to 

advance to the sectional semifinals. 

“We told her at halftime to 

just wash it away and have amnesia. 

She’s too good a player 

to let that affect her,” Loyola 

coach Jeremy Schoenecker 

said. “I told her she was going 

to win us the game. We wanted 

the ball in her hands. She was 

a rock star in the second half.” 

Loyola (24-5), winners of 

seven straight, got the best 

of Evanston, a team that had 

knocked it out of the playoffs 

in three of the last four years. 

The Wildkits (19-9) defeated 

Loyola in January. Next up for 

the Ramblers was a showdown 

with Maine South on Monday, 

Feb. 19, at Maine East. 

Against Evanston, Loyola 

went on a 7-0 run at the close 

of the opening stanza to take 

a 13-9 advantage. Though her 

shots weren’t falling during the 

early going, Martinez constantly 

drove to the basket. 

“They kept on giving me 

the lane and they were forcing 

me left. Obviously, my strong 

hand is the right, but I had been 

practicing all week on my left 

hand,” said Martinez, Loyola’s 

all-time assists leader. “I was 

able to finish strong tonight, 

especially with their defense 

on me, because I had been 

working on it all week.” 

She also finished with 10 rebounds 

and five steals. 

Senior Lilly Wehman (nine

Evanston on Thursday, Feb. 15, in Chicago. Eric DeGrechie/22nd Century Media. 

points, nine rebounds, four 

blocked shots) opened the second 

quarter with a 3-pointer. 

Later, Wehman nailed another 

trey to make it 20-9 with just 

under six minutes remaining. 

Evanston called a timeout. 

The Wildkits inched back 

into the game and went into the 

halftime locker room looking 

at a 22-15 deficit. 

Both defenses came out recharged 

in the second half of a 

game that got more physical as 

it progressed. 

“Defense wins championships. 

Coming into it, we 

wanted to limit their secondchance 

points,” said Wehman, 

a Georgetown-commit and 

Loyola’s all-time blocks leader. 

“The key for us was keeping 

the ball in our possession and 

limiting their possessions.” 

About midway through the 

third quarter, there was a scary 

moment when Evanston’s Syann 

Holmes hit her head hard 

on the gym floor. She was down 

for several minutes while trainers 

tested her for a concussion. 

The junior forward was walked 

off the court and did not return. 

Inspired by the loss of 

their player, the Wildkits cut 

Loyola’s lead to 23-21 on a 

driving basket by Kayla Henning. 

Martinez answered right 

back with a three-point play at 

the 3:30 mark. She followed 

that up with several more baskets 

and the Ramblers went up 

31-24 heading into the final 

eight minutes. 

Evanston was forced to foul 

throughout the fourth quarter 

and Loyola built on its lead for 

the victory. 

“I’m so happy for the girls. 

When you’re 23-5, and if you 

lose a regional championship, 

it feels like a bummer of a 

year,” Schoenecker said. “To 

get over this hurdle, and to 

do it against a team like this, 

we’re really happy.” 

Junior Celia Satter added six 

points, five rebounds for the 

winners. Senior Addie Morrill 

tallied four steals. 

While defeating the Wildkits 

was a huge step for the Ramblers, 

Martinez and her teammates 

are looking to accomplish 

even bigger things this 

postseason. 

“To be able to knock them 

out is just an unbelievable feeling,” 

Martinez said. “All the 

hard work is starting to pay 

off, but it’s not over yet. We’ve 

still got a couple more games 

to achieve our goal of making 

it down to state.” 

In the sectional semifinals, 

on Monday, Feb. 19, Loyola 

faced a Maine South squad it 

barely eked past last month in 

a 39-38 win on Jan. 23. New 

Trier battled Maine West in the 

other sectional semifinal. Both 

results were unavailable as of 

press time. 

“This win [against Evanston] 

will help get us up for practice. 

We’ll keep grinding and 

working on getting shots up,” 

Wehman said. “We’re ready to 

go. You don’t want this feeling 

to end.”

New Trier has fun in regional-final win 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

“Whew. That was a lot 

of fun.” 

Those were New Trier 

senior Jacqueline Vinson’s 

first words after her 

team’s Thursday, Feb. 15, 

win. 

The Trevians beat Trinity 

67-42 in the regional-final 

game in Winnetka. The 

title is New Trier’s fifth in 

six years. 

Earlier this season, on 

Jan. 6, at a shootout at 

Benet, the Blazers handed 

the Trevians a 61-50 loss, 

the team’s worst loss of the 

year. 

“We couldn’t let that 

game haunt us,” Vinson 

said. “We used that game 

to our advantage, we knew 

their players, their personnel. 

“The key was watching 

the game. We watched the 

game so many times, just 

watched film from that 

game over and over.” 

With that game in mind, 

New Trier (24-5) knew it 

had to come out quick and 

not let the Blazers gain 

momentum. 

The Trevians got off 

to an 11-0 start and held 

Trinity pointless for the 

first four minutes. The 

Trevians’ were up 18-6 

by then end of the first 

quarter before the visitors 

figured out what 

happened. 

“I told them before the 

game that something’s 

not going to go right and 

whoever handles it the 

best is going to come out 

on top,” New Trier coach 

Teri Rodgers said. “We 

were off to a great start 

and they made a great 

comeback. I thought we 

responded to that so well, 

so well. 

“Them coming back 

and Taite (Ryan) getting 

her fourth foul, I thought 

we did a great job of 

being resilient, being 

strong.” 

Vinson agreed with her 

coach on the importance 

of the start. 

“We came out so strong 

and that was the key, the 

beginning,” she said. 

“The way we all came out, 

that we the key, we came 

at them. 

“Up in the room before 

the game, we were saying 

we needed to come out 

strong and attack and that 

was the key.” 

Up 24-9 with 5:02 left 

in the first half, some interesting 

things started 

happening. 

The scoreboard went 

out multiple times over 

the next few minutes, 

causing numerous delays, 

ruining all of New Trier’s 

momentum. The team 

scored only five points 

the rest of the half, at the 

break the Trevians were 

only up 29-18. 

“You just have to put 

your head down and keep 

your mind in the game, 

saying that we’re not going 

to end out season,” 

Vinson said. “We all want 

to keep playing.” 

As fast as the Trevians 

had gotten their lead in 

the first half, the Blazers 

turned the tables to start 

the second. Two minutes 

into the quarter, Trinity’s 

11-point deficit had been 

cut to five. 

However the game 

again became one of 

runs, but this time in favor 

of the Trevians. A 

12-6 run gave New Trier 

an 11-point lead, 41-30, a 

lead the Blazers wouldn’t 

be able to overcome. 

Every time the Blazers 

would score, the Trevians 

would respond, including 

a 14-0 run over the final 

4 minutes, 24 seconds, to 

end the game. 

“These seniors want to 

play, the want to keep us 

together longer,“ Rodgers 

said. “That’s the motivation, 

we’re playing for 

each other.” 

Four Trevians finished 

in double figures 

in scoring, with Rebecca 

Goldman and Cate Murdock 

putting in 14 points 

apiece. Maggie Murdock 

added 13 to the finally 

tally. Ryan put forth 10 

alone, all in the first half. 

“We were not ending 

our season on our home 

gym,” Vinson said. “That 

just can’t happen.” 

With the win, the Trevians 

advanced to play the 

top-seeded Maine West 

Warriors in the first game 

of the Maine East Sectional 

on Monday. The 

Warriors are 28-1 on the 

season, with their only 

loss being one to Geneva, 

55-53 on Jan. 6 at the 

same shootout New Trier 

lost to Trinity. The result 

of the sectional semifinal 

was after press time.

New Trier continues sectional dominance 


Sports Editor 

If New Trier is one thing 

in local swimming, it’s 

consistent. The Trevians 

came into Saturday, Feb. 

17’s Niles North Sectional 

as 13-time defending sectional 

champions, looking 

to pick up another. 

They did just that, racking 

up 294 points, easily 

out-distancing runner-up 

Evanston, who finished 

with 174.5 points. Loyola 

took third with 158.5 points. 

The Trevians qualified 

all three relays and 13 individuals, 

including diver 

Jack Connolly. All three 

relays not only won the 

sectional title, but were 

the fastest sectional relays 

among all the sectionals 

in the state. The 1:30.59 

the Trevians put up in the 

200-yard medley relay not 

only crushed their state 

season-high of 1:33.79, it 

broke the IHSA record as 

well. The 200-yard freestyle 

relay time of 1:24.09 

also became the state’s top 

time by .78 seconds and 

the 3:03.57 in the 400 free 

relay was almost five seconds 

faster than the state’s 

top time this season. 

Other Trevian winners 

included: Charlie Scheinfeld 

in the 200-yard individual 

medley (1:52.49) 

and 100-yard breaststroke 

(55.08), Ryan Gridley 

in the 100-yard freestyle 

(45.86) and Patrick Gridley 

in the 100-yard backstroke 

(50.07). 

While Luke Maurer was 

the only Loyola swimmer 

to win a race, taking first in 

the 200-yard freestyle, with 

a time of 1:40.85, he and 

Tommy Barr put up some 

incredible swims. Barr’s 

21.39 in the 50-yard freestyle 

is sixth-best in program 

history, while his 47.0 

in the 100 free is fifth best. 

Maurer’s 100 free time of 

46.67 is fourth-best in program 

history, while his 200 

free time is also fourth-best. 

The state meet is Friday 

and Saturday, Feb. 23-24, 

at Evanston High School.

knew what they had to do 

to do that. 

“We wanted to go out 

there and be confident,” 

Hartley said. “We had to be 

confident and know what 

he had to do.” 

“Going 20-for-20 at the 

state meet seems like such 

a bigger accomplishment 

than just a dual meet because 

it’s a different environment 

and harder to keep 

your focus,” Graham said. 

Graham, a freshman, 

also finished sixth in the 

all-around, one spot off of 

the podium. 

“Jenna and Bebe gave 

me the perspective of what 

the meet is all about and it’s 

cool being able to make it 

to state,” Graham said. 

Hartley and Graham got 

the day started for the local 

participants on the vault, 

with Hartley taking fifth 

with a 9.525 and her teammate, 

Graham, finishing in 

a four-way tie for seventh 

with a 9.5. 

Murdock came into the 

beam final as reigning 

champion and had finished 

the prelims with a 9.375, 

the third-highest score on 

the first night. Unfortunately 

for the New Trier sophomore, 

a fall on her routine 

dropped her to eighth place 

with a s core of 8.8, one 

spot behind Graham, who 

had a score of 9.05. 

“She’s been so calm and 

cool and laid-back and 

she was just too archy and 

couldn’t hold it,” Pistorius 

said. “Everything else was 

awesome.” 

Haramas also qualified 

for the beam final but finished 

with am 8.650 after 

suffering a fall as well. 

Hartley wrapped up the 

competition, literally, with 

a 9.475, one spot off of 

the medal stand. After the 

meet, she talked about being 

the last competitor of 

the entire meet. 

“Since it was my last routine, 

I just wanted to go as 

hard as I could and show everyone 

that I could do it and 

do my best,” Hartley said. 

Both Glenbrook South 

and New Trier are young 

squads and bring back the 

majority of their squads 

next year. However, one 

major competitor for the 

Trevians, Emma Jane 

Rohrer, saw her high school 

career end on Friday night. 

“We’re going to miss 

her leadership, we’re going 

to miss her gymnastics, 

her silliness, her fun in the 

gym,” her coach said. 

Murdock and Barkal 

both felt that replacing 

Rohrer next year will be a 

tough task, as she was the 

rock that would hold the 

team together. 

“Emma is such a big part 

of our team,” Murdock 

said. “She’s really good at 

bringing up the mood of 

our team when we’re upset 

and she really encourages 

people to stay positive. 

“But we’re ready to 

come back next year and 

place as a team.”

the next day, Saturday, 

Feb. 17, with Ryan picking 

up a 6-4 win over 

Fremd’s Cole Riemer and 

Tangen a fall over Deerfield’s 

Kenny Kerstein. 

The win over Riemer 

was Ryan’s second in two 

weeks as he also defeated 

him for the sectional title 

at Barrington. 

“My semifinal matchup 

was a tough opponent 

and I knew that but I had 

to put it behind me,” Tangen 

said. “It’s my senior 

year, so I wanted to finish 

strong. I didn’t want to 

go 0-2 and finish sixth. I 

wanted to finish third, that 

was my goal.” 

Those wins set up the 

two for the biggest matches 

of their careers, the 

third-place bouts at the 

state tournament. 

Ryan would go on to 

face Gannon Hughes of 

Oswego, while Tangen 

would take on Zach Reese 

of Lockport. 

Both matches would 

be the closest the two 

would face over the threeday 

tournament, as Ryan 

squeaked out a 5-4 win 

and Tangen took a 3-1 decision. 

“It was an awesome experience, 

standing next to 

two of the top guys in the 

country and just to be there 

was an awesome feeling,” 

Tangen said. 

For the two seniors, 

longtime teammates, to be 

on the podium in the same 

state meet, was something 

special for the pair. 

“It’s really cool. We’ve 

been practice partners all 

year and have been wrestling 

together since sixth 

grade,” Ryan said. “To end 

our high school careers 

that way was cool because 

we both know how much 

work the other one puts in, 

to see your teammate succeed 

like that was a really 

awesome moment.” 

Despite the end not being 

how they had hoped, 

the 2017-18 season was 

a successful one for the 

wrestlers, both of whom 

said they saw improvement 

throughout the season. 

“Confidence and wrestling 

throughout the offseason 

helped me a lot 

this year,” Tangen said. “I 

knew if I was confident in 

myself and really worked 

hard, I could be at the top.” 

“I think it’s constantly 

being in the room each 

day,” Ryan added. ”Working 

with your teammates, 

getting in the weight room, 

taking it one day at a time. 

But at the same time have 

bigger goals you’re reaching 

for.” 

Both Tangen and Ryan 

plan on wrestling at college 

but have yet to make 

their final college decisions. 

As they do that, they 

plan on wrestling with 

their club teams and going 

to some of the nation’s 

major tournaments as well.



New Trier’s Tangen, Ryan shine at state finals 


Sports Editor 

Both Patrick Ryan and 

Jack Tangen, seniors on 

the New Trier wrestling 

team, came into the weekend 

looking to do something 

a New Trier wrestler 

hadn’t done since Rick 

Bickert of New Trier East 

in 1975 and Don Joseph 

in 1965: win an individual 

wrestling state title. 

Despite only qualifying 

two wrestlers for the Feb. 

15-17 state meet, both 

Ryan and Tangen had excellent 

opportunities to 

bring home a state title, 

with Ryan entering the 

meet with a perfect 44-0 

record and Tangen a 41-2 

record. 

Unfortunately neither 

finished atop that podium, 

as they both dropped their 

semifinal matches, but rebounded 

to take third place 

and cement their history 

in the New Trier record 

books. The two became 

the first pair of New Trier 

wrestlers to both finish in 

the top three in 70 years. 

Both wrestlers got off 

to a fast start on Thursday, 

Feb. 15, each pinning their 

opponent, Tangen taking 

down Providence’s Kevin 

Countryman in 5:28, while 

Ryan took care of business 

against Noah Boles of Minooka 

in 3:00. 

“Last year I only had 

one match but it was still 

good experience for this 

year because I felt more 

ready than I was last year,” 

Tangen said. “I was nervous 

before my first two 

matches but after those 

two, the nerves went away. 

“The first match is one 

of the hardest because if 

you lose the first match, 

there’s a chance you can 

be done but it’s a good one 

to get out of the way if you 

win.” 

Both grapplers also 

picked up easy quarterfinal 

wins, Tangen shutting out 

Oak Park-River Forest’s 

Joe Chapman 6-0, while 

Ryan earned a major decision 

over Liam Drury. The 

wins set up both Trevians 

just one win away from 

battling for a state title. 

Unfortunately, Ryan 

would suffer his first loss 

of the year, falling to eventual 

state champion Jake 

Stiles of Montini 7-1, and

Final in Champaign. Douglas Cottle/PHOTONEWS MEDIA 

Tangen falling to Will Lewan, 

also of Montini. 

“It’s hard to bounce 

back because you wrestle 

a semifinal match against 

an extremely high-caliber 

guy and then you come 

back the next day and 

wrestle another really 

high-caliber guy,” Ryan 

said. “You have to be able 

to put that loss behind you 

and I think it’s a characterdefining 

moment, how 

guys bounce back after 

those tough semifinal, 

quarterfinal losses.” 

The two bounced back

THREE PLAYERS OF 

THE WEEK 

1. Ciaran Brayboy 

(above). The 

New Trier boys 

basketball player 

scored 20 or 

more points and 

grabbed 10 or 

more rebounds 

in both of the 

Trevians’ wins last 

week. 

2. Patrick Ryan and 

Jack Tangen. The 

New Trier senior 

wrestlers both 

finished third at 

the state finals. 

Ryan finished the 

season with a 

48-1 record, while 

Tangen finished 

with a 45-3 mark. 

3. Kevin 

Cunningham. 

The Loyola senior 

basketball player 

moved into 33rd 

on the Loyola alltime 

scoring list 

after racking up 

36 points in two 

games last week. 

The 2017-18 girls gymnastics 

season has been 

quite a successful one 

for the Central Suburban 

League South. Not only 

was it the only conference 

with two sectional champions, 

it also made up 

nearly half of the teams in 

the team competition, with 

New Trier earning an atlarge 

team bid to join sectional 

champs Glenbrook 

South and Maine South for 

the state finals. 

The success continued 

at the state meet Friday- 

Saturday, Feb. 16-17, 

as while only one team, 

Glenbrook South, finished 

with a team trophy, the 

other two were directly 

behind in the standings. 

The Titans finished with 

a 146.6 for a third-place 

finish, while the Trevians 

finished fourth with 

a 146.275 and Hawks fifth 

with a 146.225. 

Friday’s team competition 

also served as the preliminary 

individual results, 

which would send the top 

10 participants to the individual 

finals on Saturday. 

Because of ties, the vault 

and beam both had more 

than 10 finalists. 

In the individual finals, 

the Titans would have 

Hartley on the vault and 

floor, Sheena Graham on 

vault and balance beam, 

Maeve Murdock does her beam routine during the IHSA state finals Friday, Feb. 16, at Palatine High School in 

Palatine. Carlos Alvarez/22nd Century Media 

and Bebe Haramaras on the 

beam, while the Trevians 

would have reigning state 

champion Maeve Murdock 

on the beam. Darcy Barkal 

had qualified for the individual 

final on the vault 

but couldn’t participate 

because of an injury that 

forced her into a boot and 

crutches. 

Barkal had qualified for 

the vault by scoring a 9.6 

but because of an ankle injury 

to her right ankle suffered 

earlier in the week, 

was unable to participate in 

the event final. 

“On Wednesday, it was 

more of a leap and I came 

down and thought it was 

more of a sprain,” Barkal 

said. “I just wanted to come 

and do my best for my 

team, especially after some 

of us were disappointed because 

some of us had fallen 

on beam. 

“We’re going to get X- 

rays on it, it’s just really 

swollen right now.” 

Her coach was really 

impressed by the toughness 

she showed at Friday’s 

competition. 

“To come in and do the 

vault that she did, get a 

9.6 and make it to finals, 

that’s amazing,” New Trier 

coach Jennifer Pistorius 

said.”She’s a beast, a rock, 

I can’t believe she did what 

she did. She landed everything, 

you wouldn’t know 

it was injured.” 

The Titans came out and 

did something they hadn’t 

done all season, go 20-for- 

20, connecting on all their 

routines. 

“Yesterday was what it 

was all about,” Glenbrook 

South coach Stephen Gale 

said. “We went 20-for-20, 

everyone hit their routines, 

which was what we told 

them to do. And that’s what 

they did. 

“We’ve known that from 

the beginning of the season 

all three of us would be really 

tough and we would 

be pushing each other. The 

girls went out there and did 

their job. Good things happen 

when you do your job.” 

Hartley agreed with 

much of what her coach 

said. 

“Even though we finished 

third last year, this 

year it’s different because 

it’s a different team and our 

work ethic was different 

this season.” 

Hartley and her teammates 

were prepared to go 

out and give it their all and
