Wilmette Park Board
Gillson project schematic design approved
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
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 the board
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.
Board vice president
Shelley Shelly felt there
was too much emphasis
placed on the number of
existing parking spaces.
“We’re too hung up on
the existing number and
whether it’s 305 or 327,”
she said. “Our goal is not
to have a larger footprint
than what we have. It’s
very important we maintain
safety. We have far
too much emphasis on
what we had. We will get
as many as we can and
keep it safe.”
Commissioner Stephanie
Foster felt maintaining
safety is more important
than the number of spaces
the parking lot will have.
“I’m on board with the
parking goals,” she said.
“That said I think safety
and efficiency are more
important than the actual
number. I know we
all want as many parking
spaces as we can get,
but I don’t want it to be a
miserable experience for
people or an unsafe experience
for people. I’m on
board with the goal of the
same or more than what
we have if that’s safe and
not miserable.”
Board president Amy
Wolfe agreed maintaining
safety is important.
“I agree that I’d like to
make sure the parking lot
is as safe as possible,” she
said. “I just want to make
sure everyone’s safe.
Whether it’s 305 or 327,
I’d like to see as many
spots as we can but within
a safe parameter.”
The board has received
requests from nearby
residents requesting the
board consider asking for
a variation regarding the
number of trees required
by the Village’s zoning
code in the parking lot to
preserve the lake views
from the bluff. Shelly was
amenable to that request
from the residents and
supported asking the Village
for a variance.
“I feel very strongly
that our goal all along
has been to celebrate the
views,” she said. “I think
to have a variance is not
terribly time consuming
and the village has supported
it with some of the
members of the community
who have discussed it
with them. We’ve worked
very hard to clear it that
I feel for everybody who
wants to enjoy this lovely
view of the lake. Once
those trees reach their
maximum height, there
will be some obstruction
and the village has supported
us in this saying
this is what a variance is
for.”

When Dr. Ray Lechner,
Wilmette Public Schools
District 39 superintendent,
and Rachel Filippi,
McKenzie Elementary
principal, learned that a
group of third-grade girls
were working on a project
to assemble outreach kits
for Hilda’s Place Homeless
Shelter in Evanston,
it didn’t take long for the
two school officials to
dive right in, helping the
girls achieve their goal.
The initiative, spearheaded
by McKenzie mom
Mia Wang, was meant to
be a small learning lesson
for the nine girls involved,
but quickly escalated into
a full-fledged community
initiative, thanks in
large part to the school
district’s interest. Filippi
invited the girls to lunch
to learn more, and Lechner
helped them create a
video, broadcasting their
initiative on the D39 website.
Wang said she was
pleasantly overwhelmed
by their desire to help.
“Here I was, just trying
to teach a valuable lesson
to the girls, and before
I knew it, the principal
and superintendent were
involved, and the entire
community started asking
how they could help,”
Wang said. “We had so
much interest, that we set
our sights higher, striving
to collect 600 items such
as razors, hand warmers,
deodorant, gloves, socks
and more, over a twoweek
period, with the end
goal of assembling 50 outreach
bags, that the shelter
would use to help change

the course of a homeless
person’s life.”
Wang herself has a
long history of altruism.
While living in China several
years ago, she took in
children who needed care
after surgery, and watched
the children of migrant
workers.
Back in the States, she
has supported local nonprofits
by hosting toy sales
and lemonade stands, all
from her own front yard
— just a few examples of
Wang’s generosity.
Now, the mother of
three, Wang hopes to pass
along her philanthropic
beliefs to children, staring
with her oldest, thirdgrade
student Abby, and
many of her friends: Kate
Swain, Charlotte Yager-
Madden, Alina Hirschle,
Natalie Burnell, Lola Jensen,
Lena Frangos, Sofie
Pstragowski and Annie
Gelwix, all who enjoyed
the opportunity to do
something good for others,
all the while collaborating
with their school
officials.

by my teacher that we had
to go to the principal’s office,

Filippi gave her account
of the meeting, shared
how touched she was to

plan to help the homeless.
“It is because of these
girls, that our community
came together and collected
over 600 items, and
that over 50 kits were delivered
to people in need,”
Filippi said. “Through
their hard work and dedication,
they also motivated
other students and staff
to come together to help
in this cause.”

heard Dr. Lechner was
coming to meet us,” Gelwix
said. “But, I found
out fast that he’s a really
goofy guy; he made us
laugh a lot, and like that
he is so silly.”
Lechner was equally
impressed by the girls’
commitment to brightening
the lives of others.
“It was inspiring to see
students so motivated to
make a difference. Each
one talked about how
they appealed to friends
and family to help gather
needed items to make 50
kits. Their energy was
contagious, and I am very
proud of their diligence,”
Lechner said. “One of the
most important lessons is
that everyone can help;
kindness matters and when
people come together, we
can have a bigger impact.
Working on this project
allows students to build
other important skills in
creativity, collaboration
and communication too.”
All the positive publicity
led to a mountain of
donations left on Wang’s
doorstep, allowing the
girls to assemble the outreach
kits and head to Hilda’s
Place for a lesson in
homelessness on Feb. 9.
At Hilda’s Place, Lisa
Todd, community relations
coordinator, greeted
the girls and took them on
a tour. The girls saw small
rooms filled with several
beds, giving those without
a home a safe and warm
place to sleep. Todd took
them on a tour of the pantry,
where she told them
about the importance of
community donations
such as food and toiletries.
She then explained
how their outreach kits
would be used.
“The kits you made today,
mean a trained worker
can seek a homeless
person, give them much
needed items and educate
them on the services
we provide, giving them
hope,” Todd said. “We
tell everyone we meet,

that homelessness doesn’t
have to be forever. Bad
things in life happen that
may cause a person to
lose their home, but good
things happen too — like
kindness from strangers,
which can turn a bad situation
around.”
As the girls high-fived
Todd and left the premises
after asking question upon
question, Wang watched
on, proud of the young
group of girls for spending
their snow day off
from school, to do a good
deed.
“I see these girls and
think, ‘how do we teach
our kids about the greater
needs in this world?,”
Wang said. “I think today
is one of the ways we can
do that and inspire them to
continue to make a difference.”

Kenilworth Village Board
Debate rages over Kenilworth
water plant property’s future
Nathan Worcester
Freelance Reporter
Near the end of an impassioned
but respectful
debate about potential uses
of the water plant property
in Kenilworth, Patrick
Brennan, village manager,
made a point to commend
those in attendance at the
Kenilworth Village Board
meeting of Monday, Feb.
12.
“This conversation is
some of the best work I’ve
seen this board do,” Brennan
said. “People have got
different opinions, you’re
working through it, and
you’re coming up with
good ideas.”
Brennan began by leading
a presentation on longterm
goals for the property
based on work by the Village’s
Plan Commission.
He explained that Village
trustees and other participants
in the process
would eventually have to
determine the property’s
ownership structure, the
project’s scope, use restrictions,
amenities, view
corridor considerations,
and whether there would
be limits on changes to the
water plant structure. Last
but certainly not least, they
would eventually need to
figure out funding.
“Is there a consideration
whether it’s just for the
residents of Kenilworth or
open to the general public?,”
Trustee Pete Shadek
said,
Village Attorney Hart
Passman responded that
there was no one-size-fits
all answer, but that the
idea of restricted or tiered
access might be taken into
account.
Village President Ann
Potter recommended that
long-term uses of the
property be considered
by a committee or working
group made up of
representatives from the
board, members of different
commissions, and
residents. Brennan elaborated
that the group could
be nine members in size
and composed of a Village
Board representative,
three residents, a Zoning
Board of Appeals representative,
two members
of as-yet-undetermined
community groups, a Park
District representative, and
a chair from the Plan Commission.
Though trustees
briefly considered including
additional participants,
Trustee Scott Lien cautioned
that larger groups
can be dysfunctional, especially
without strong
leadership: “You end up
with doers and… others.”
Trustees debated the
merits of including representatives
from the Kenilworth
Sailing Club and
the Kenilworth Park District.
Lien suggested that
the group should take the
interests of nearby homeowners
into account, while
Trustee Alison Winslow
emphasized the need to
reach out to younger families
who are not well-represented
on the Plan Commission.
Trustee James McClamroch
Jr. asked why the
matter could not simply
be handled by the Plan
Commission. Justin Mohr,
of the Kenilworth Plan
Commission, weighed in,
agreeing with Winslow
about the importance of
input from young families.
He recommended that the
matter primarily be handled
by a working group
rather than the Plan Commission.
Winslow and Jeff
Bedwell voiced concerns
about whether the site
might compete with programming
at the Park District-owned
Kenilworth
Club. Lien asked whether
that would make it technically
inappropriate to
include the Park District
in the working group.
Shadek wondered why
competition would be bad,
arguing that it could spur
improvements by both
entities. Trustees Cecily
Kaz and Shadek pointed
out that Kenilworth residents
would likely want
to see cooperation rather
than competition. Kaz
went on to note that Lien’s
reasonable concerns about
the differing interests of
potential working group
members were why the
group would need a strong
leader.
There was a strong consensus
that ownership of
the property should not
be entirely private, though
Kaz and Winslow said that
they would not rule out
partial private ownership.
Most trustees agreed that
their plan should include
land on the north side of
the water plant, with Kaz
and Shadek both stating
that the project should be
considered “holistically.”
Discussing amenities,
Winslow and Kaz stated
that parking and bike storage
should be priorities.

Longtime owner of Wilmette Jewelers reflects on former business
Wilmette resident
recently sold store
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Gayle Inbinder loved
her “happiness” business
but knew it was time to do
something different with
her life, to seek the next
opportunity.
The long-time Wilmette
resident and former owner
of Wilmette Jewelers reminisced
about the years
her family lived in the
community and owned the
recently sold store.
“It was time to make a
change, to evolve,” Inbinder
said. “Change is
hard, but it brings new opportunities.”
Her father, Lester Inbinder,
taught his daughter
much about the jewelry
business. More importantly,
she developed his wisdom.
“He would tell me, ‘You
have to keep changing and
growing,’” Inbinder said.
“‘You cannot get stuck in
what you are doing. You
have to prepare yourself
for the next opportunity
and if you do not, you will
never know when it will
show up.’”
The Inbinders were
only the second family to
own Wilmette Jewelers.
The Pagliarulo Family
originally established the
jewelry store in the early
1900s. Lester Inbinder
bought it in 1954.
“My dad was an Army
medic during World War
II,” Inbinder said. “He became
a diamond salesman
on the road. My mother
did not like the idea of his
being away from home
so often especially after
their first child was born
my sister Charlene. That
is what prompted him to
“It was time to make a change,
to evolve. Change is hard, but it
brings new opportunities.”
Gayle Inbinder — Wilmette resident and longtime
owner of Wilmette Jewelers, the business at
1149 Wilmette Ave. she recently sold
accept the opportunity to
buy the Pagliarulo jewelry
store. He changed the
name to Wilmette Jewelers
after the street on
which it was located. The
store was his baby.”
It originally was across
the street from its current
location.
“When my dad saw
the beautiful building being
erected by the bank
in 2007, he decided to
move,” she said. “The
new bank building had
things in common we
wanted like quality of
construction and security.
Since then we have had a
complementary relationship
with the bank.”
Inbinder added her father
put so much of his
energy into the business
and new store.
“He was always looked
upon as the “go to” guy
even by the second generation
of customers,”
she said. “Our dad died in
2008 but I am sure some
of his energy remains
there.”
The Inbinders enjoyed
being part of the Wilmette
family.
Lester Inbinder’s
daughter, Charlene,
moved away from the
family jewelry store business
and went down a
related path, that of a
gemstone and jewelry appraiser.
Gayle Inbinder
joined her in the business
they owned together.
“We became known
as the women appraisers
and were the first women
appraisers in Chicago,”
Gayle Inbinder said. “It
was a man’s field and we
were not taken seriously. I
still worked at our jewelry
store.”
Gayle Inbinder and her
family enjoyed being part
of the Wilmette family.
“Wilmette is our community,”
she said. “It is
more like a neighborhood
of friends. I raised
my two daughters here.
They graduated from New
Trier.”
Inbinder has a long list
of positives about owning
Wilmette Jewelers.
“We made life-long
friends,” she said. “One
of them was a friend of
my father’s who became
somewhat of a second
generational mentor to
me.”
Many were ones Inbinder
met while traveling
for the store’s jewelry
business.
The friendships she
especially treasures are
those of customers who
became more like members
of her extended Wilmette
family.
“We became part of
their milestones and
achievements—graduations,
birthdays, dance
recitals, engagements
and anniversaries among
many others,” Gayle Inbinder
said. “It was a happiness
business.”
She recounted the story
Wilmette’s Gayle Inbinder, former owner of Wilmette
Jewelers, is shown with her father’s favorite clock out
of the store. It is one of the store’s few treasures that
will go with her. The clock is called an Ansonia Black
Marble Clock. It is very heavy, but chimes just like a
grandfather clock. Hilary Anderson/22nd Century Media
of how “family-oriented”
her store was. It predated
cell phones.
“A customer’s daughter
was coming home on
the train from college,”
Inbinder said. “The girl’s
mother called our store
and said her daughter,
who planned to drive her
sister home once she got
off the train, was probably
looking in our store window
for things to put her
Christmas wish list while
she waited for her sister.
“‘Please tell my daughter
her sister is coming in
earlier than expected,’”
said the mother. Sure
enough, that is where we
found her, looking in our
window.”
More recently there
was the Wilmette mother
whose three now married
children had purchased
their engagement and
wedding rings at Wilmette
Jewelers.
“The mother upon hearing
that our store was closing
was somewhat distraught
at the thought her
fourth child who was not
yet engaged would break
the tradition of purchasing
a ring from us,” Inbinder
said. “So she purchased
a diamond knowing the
child could use that for a
future spouse. The mother
so trusted us with its quality
and value.”
The legacy established
by the Indbinder family
became even more apparent
when four sisters who
grew up in the area and
known to Wilmette Jewelers
since they were children,
came in from three
different states to attend a
retirement party for Gayle
Inbinder.
Topping her list of
things to do upon retirement
is travel. First will
be a long-desired trip to
Egypt in spring.
“I might choose to be
a consultant for friends,”
she said. “The jewelry
business is in my DNA
but I will not own another
store. It is a lot of hard
work.”
Gayle Inbinder’s advice
to those friends and customers
who have touched
her life is simple.
“Your work does not
have to define you forever,”
she said. “Do not
be afraid of change. It has
been a blessing to know
all of you these past years.
Thank you!”

home case
remanded

Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
Homeowners Steve
and Mina Boruta, of 3730
Lake Ave., will be returning
to the Zoning Board
of Appeals after a Village
Board decision at its Tuesday,
Feb. 13 meeting. The
Village Board voted 4-3 to
remand the Borutas’ case
back to the Zoning Board
of Appeals after the homeowners
decided to remove
the pergola from their

6-1 to recommend the Village
Board deny the Borutas’
request for a 7.11 foot
side yard air conditioner
condenser setback variation
to permit the retention
of an air conditioner and
a 3-foot side yard setback
variation and a 3-foot separation
variation to permit
the retention of a grill island
and pergola at 3730
Lake Ave. The homeowners
will return to the ZBA
without the pergola as part
of their plan.
The AC unit and grill
island have been there for
about six years and were
done without a permit. The
homeowners also added

Murray for orchestrating
the event, and the Wilmette
Public Library for lending
the museum a variety of
books on African-American
history. Hilary then
took the floor, telling a musical
story that was popular
in Ghana and told by the
Ashanti people.
Hilary soon had the audience
clapping and singing
along with her, as they
participated in a story about
a turtle and a spider who
taught a valuable lesson.
“African-American stories
often have a moral embedded
in the tale,” Hilary
said. “This story reminds
us of the importance of
sharing, abiding by the
golden rule and to remember
that what goes around,
comes around. Remember,
if you think you can outsmart
someone, they will
Gwen Hilary shares African-American songs, stories,
poems and dances during a special event Feb. 11 at the
Wilmette History Museum. Alexa Burnell/22nd Century
Media
probably outsmart you.”
Next, Hilary talked about
the book “Henry’s Freedom
Box” telling the true
story of a young, African
American boy who longed
to be free. After being enslaved
for most of his life,
he built a box large enough
for him to fit in, and travel
to Pennsylvania where he
could finally be free.
“The story shows the
determination that comes
when someone longs to be
free,” Hilary said. “Henry
Box Brown was unstoppable
in his quest, seeking
the life of freedom he so
craved.”
John P. Parker, born in
1827 was owned by his
own father. When he was 8,
his father sold him and his
new owner, a doctor, who
decided to educate Parker,
despite facing legal repercussions
for doing so.
“It was illegal to educate
those enslaved, because
once a person can read and
write, they can begin to
think of possibilities,” Hilary
said.
Parker’s education did
him well and as he grew
into adulthood, he married
and had six children, all
who went to college and
found successful careers.
Although he had found his
own, personal freedom, he
never stopped fighting for
the freedom of others.
In all, Hilary explained,
that Parker freed 800 people
from enslavement. The
house in which he lived in
from about 1853 until his
death in 1900, is now a National
Historic Landmark.
“The world doesn’t
know enough about John
P. Parker and the hundreds
of people he saved from
enslavement,” Hilary said.
“He believed that everyone
had the right to be free and
fought for that right until
his dying day.”
Warming House fundraiser raises awareness of mission
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
The Warming House
Youth Center’s annual
fundraiser, held at Wilmette
Bowl on Feb. 11,
entertained guests with
games and pizza, while
raising awareness about
the Center’s mission to
provide a safe space for
tweens and teens.
Executive Director
Cynthia Doucette explained
just how important
it is for organizations
like the Warming House
to exist in all communities.
“Everywhere, regardless
of demographics,
there is a need to provide
safe places for teens,
where adult mentors can
give unconditional acceptance
and positive
regard,” Doucette said.
“This is so important during
the teen years.”
Along with Doucette,
The Warming House is
staffed by licensed social
workers, or students
studying social work or
psychology, all trained to
help navigate the often,
bumpy road through adolescence.
At the same time,
Doucette and her staff are
committed to providing
plenty of fun, social service
activities and opportunities
to learn new skills
such as cooking, baking,
music and even mindfulness.
“Some of our tried and
true activities include fun
seasonal activities such
as visiting haunted houses
around Halloween, or
ice skating in the winter,”
staff member Emily
Schnell said. “The kids
also really enjoy food related
outings to places like
Homer’s and Portillo’s
and are starting to express
an interest in trying sushi
and Hibachi grills too.”
Social service opportunities
are also an important
offering. On the
second Tuesday of each
month, teens serve a meal
at A Just Harvest soup
kitchen. They have also
made visits to Feed My
Starving Children — an
organization committed to
feeding hungry children,
and they have made nosew
blankets for premature
babies through Project
Linus.
Staff member Nicola
Kiela, a current MSW
student at the University
of Chicago, said social
service work reflects one
of the Warming House’s
beliefs to pay it forward.
“Social service work is
reflective of the mission
of the Warming House.
We teach the kids, we provide
for you, and then you
provide for others. We all
Kids celebrate at The Warming House Youth Center’s
annual fundraiser Feb. 11 at Wilmette Bowl. Alexa
Burnell/22nd Century Media
take care of one another,”
Kiela said.
In addition to maintaining
a full weekly activity
schedule, staff has been
busy with increased outreach
efforts at Highcrest
Middle School and Wilmette
Junior High. Staff
is also committed to attracting
more females to
the program, with new
outreach efforts at Regina
Dominican as well.

tion the homeowners will
have to make the AC unit
and grill island conform to
Village code. If the board
approves the application,
the homeowners can keep
the AC unit and grill island
in place as is and pay
a fine for performing work
without a permit. Trustees
Senta Plunkett, Julie Wolf,
Dan Sullivan and Kathy
Dodd voted to remand the
case back to the ZBA.
“I have a big issue with
the fact this was 5.5 to 6
years ago,” Plunkett said.
“I really do. This is a long
time past and are we really
going to be policing our
residents and did you do
this 5, 6, 10 years ago?”
Plunkett also felt sympathetic
to the homeowners’
mistake of not getting
a permit before doing the
work.

Walgreens representative teaches leadership at Regina
Submitted by Regina
Dominican
As part of the Leadership
Institute Speaker
Series, Renee Czeryba,
manager of store care
programs at Walgreens,
spoke to Regina Dominican
students about finding
her role at Walgreens,
her gifts, how her Catholic
education has helped
her to succeed and giving
back.
Her Leadership Institute
presentation titled, “Finding
and Sharing your
Gifts by Giving Back,”
reflected on the leadership
opportunities that brought
her to her current position.
Czeryba is responsible
for the interior and
exterior lighting and sign
repair for more than 8,100
Walgreens locations. She
directs multi-million dollar
contracts with many
vendors.
Here are some of
her most important
lessons:
Take advantage of every
opportunity no matter
how exciting it would
seem.
Czeryba reminded students
to never judge a
book by its cover. She
told students about an internship
she took on at
GE that on the surface did
not seem exciting. She
took the internship with
an open mind because she
did not want to pass up
an opportunity to expand
her skills. As she dove
into the internship, she
began to grow. She was
given assignments that
really made a difference
in the organization. One
of her assignments was
a satisfaction survey that
brought to light some issues
and solutions for her
employer. Renee believes
her experience at GE was
one of the most valuable
internships she had. She is
happy she took advantage
of the opportunity, and believes
that you will learn
something from every
experience and everyone
you meet.
Always make sure you
are learning and growing.
Renee Czeryba, manager of store care programs at
Walgreens, speaks to Regina Dominican students
recently as part of the school’s Leadership Institute
Speaker Series. photo Submitted.
Czeryba told students to
not be satisfied with being
comfortable. It is important
to challenge yourself
and embrace change. As
Eleanor Roosevelt said,
“You must do the things
you think you cannot do.”
She shared her experience
joining the operations
team at Walgreens without
having a background
in store maintenance. She
took the position because
it would allow her to try
something new, knowing
that if she did not like
the position, she could go
back to her original field.
Renee is happy in her new
role and credits her desire
to learn more for putting
her in this position.
When life suddenly
changes, start by outlining
a plan.
Czeryba was a member
of the Walgreens Disaster
Response team for the
2017 Hurricane Relief
Efforts and part of her
responsibilities included
placing mobile pharmacies
hurricane disaster
zones this past summer.
She needed to set up
these pharmacies in Florida.
Renee had not set up
these temporary pharmacies
before and needed to
work within a very strict
deadline to get customers
the prescriptions they
needed. She set up a plan
by outlining what was
needed, who needed to be
involved, and what questions
needed to be asked.
By outlining a plan first,
Renee was able to see
what she needed to accomplish
and ultimately
achieve her goal in a timely
manner.
Find your gifts and talents.
Czeryba concluded her
presentation with a discussion
about the importance
of knowing your gifts and
talents. When you know
and understand your gifts
and talents, you are able
to understand your direction,
better achieve your
goals and give back to
others. She shared some
reflective ways in which
you can help you discover
your gifts:
· What excites you?
· What do you do that
makes you feel good emotionally
and spiritually?
· Ask others to let you
know the gifts they see in
you.
· Think about your
“hero” or role model(s).
· What are their special
qualities or traits?
· What similarities do
you share?
· Think about your family
and what gifts you
share.
· What tugs at your
heart?
· If you could do anything
you’d like today,
what would it be?
Czeryba’s presentation
was a wonderful way to
conclude the first week
of school in 2018. As we
look at our new year resolutions,
we are able to use
Renee’s tips to help us
find our gifts, direction
and opportunities to grow.

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.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER
Lake Bluff submits joint
fire/EMS proposal to
Knollwood Fire
Village of Lake Bluff
has approached the adjacent
Rockland Fire Protection
District with a formal
plan to provide joint fire
and paramedic services
throughout Lake Bluff and
the unincorporated community
of Knollwood.
“Knollwood shares our
tradition of volunteer fire
service, just as they share
our schools and our parks,”
Village President Kathleen
O’Hara said.
The plan proposes a
three-year path to a fullservice
Knollwood-Lake
Bluff fire department, and
is expected to save taxpayers
at least $500,000 over
five years. At the same
time, the plan adds a fulltime
presence who will
serve as both firefighters
and paramedics.
“This joint plan solves
the pressing need for financially
sustainable fire
and emergency medical
services in both communities,”
Drew Irvin said

of Lake Bluff. Full story at

Eric DeGrechie
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. “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,

Mission Statement
By offering a welcoming
environment, our goal is
to empower everyone to
be their best. Whether
it is learning about
basketball, gaining a
sense of teamwork and
camaraderie, or getting
lost in conversation about
life, our mission is to help
everyone be their best
self. We use basketball
as a platform to unify all
people we work with in a
safe and fun atmosphere.
Not everyone has the
belief that they can be
their best. With Easy
Hoops, we want to set the
bar to be accessible for
people of all abilities.
Success means different
things to different people.
We want you to define
your own success.

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.”

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.
“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.
At the event in Highland
Park, Easy Hoops
and Aspiritech spent the
day helping attendees
work on their basketball
skills, virtues and teamwork.
Eight New Trier
players helped out.
Rosen is a busy guy. He
is the president of the Find

Loyola Academy principal lauded for excellence in leadership
Golden Apple nominee
promotes Jesuit
education in Wilmette
Eric DeGrechie
Editor
Receiving an
apple from a
student is a perfect
way to start
the day for any
teacher or educator.
Learning you
might be getting Baal
one made of gold
for educational excellence also
leads to a good morning.
“I found out I was nominated
before the holidays, but
I didn’t know I was a finalist.
Father [Patrick] McGrath came
in and told me,” said Dr. Kathryn
M. Baal, principal of Wilmette’s
Loyola Academy. “I
couldn’t believe it. I was very
humbled.”
Baal is one of seven Stanley
C. Golder Leadership Award
finalists for her initiative, dedication,
perseverance and innovation.
Gwendolyn Faulkner,
second grade teacher at McKenzie
Elementary, has been nominated
for a Golden Apple Award
for Excellence in Teaching.
The Golden Apple Foundation,
which has given out
awards annually since 1986, is
a non-profit organization that
works to inspire, develop and
support teacher and school
leader excellence in Illinois. It
was created to offer outstanding
teachers and educators the
level of recognition enjoyed by
actors at the Academy Awards.
Baal, along with the other finalists,
will be honored 10 a.m.
Saturday, Feb 24, at the Hilton
Rosemont-Chicago O’Hare in
Rosemont.
To be eligible for the Stanley
C. Golder Leadership Award,
nominees must be a Pre-K-12th
grade principal, head of school
or leader of a public or nonpublic
school in Cook, DuPage,
Kane, Lake, McHenry or Will
counties. The candidates must
have served in that role for
five or more consecutive years.
They also will have exhibited
exemplary performance and
outstanding leadership.
Baal grew up in the Beverly
neighborhood on the south side
of Chicago and went to Saint
Ignatius College Prep, where
she was enculturated into the
Jesuit value of service in one’s
life. While studying biology,
with a concentration in chemistry
and mathematics, at Saint
Mary’s College Notre Dame,
she got involved in some educational
service work and had
an epiphany.
“Education wasn’t something
I pursued. Notre Dame really
talked about it being a vocation
and a calling,” Baal said.
She was in a two-year education-based
program, but Notre
Dame only required doing one
year. While Baal was thinking
about medical and graduate
school after the one year, she realized
just how much she loved
education.
She got her teaching career
going at Redemptorist High
School in Baton Rouge, La.
Baal followed that with teaching
stints at her alma mater, St.
Ignatius, and Maine South High
School. In addition to teaching,
she was getting more and more
involved in the administrative
side of things.
This part of her career got officially
going when she became
the science department chair
at Downers Grove North High
School in 2004. Seven years
later, she would wind up in her
current role at Loyola Academy.
“It was really to come back
to Jesuit Catholic education. It
was coming back to my roots,”
Baal said. “It was a gift to me.
I felt like I was at home when I
got here.”
Among her proudest accomplishments
at Loyola include
the O’Shaughnessey Program,
which provides extra literacy
instruction and study skills for
at-risk students. Baal and her
team have built a stronger foundation
in science by offering a
Physics First science education
model, flipping the traditional
biology-chemistry-physics sequence.
As a result of these
academic advancements and
more, ACT scores of Loyola’s
students have risen.
More recently, her team redesigned
the freshman orientation
experience. To foster a deeper
sense of faith, community and
belonging from the beginning of
a student’s Loyola experience, a
house model was implemented
and the orientation was expanded
from one to three days. The orientation
is part of The LA Way,
a comprehensive leadership program
rooted in the principles that
have guided Jesuits for nearly
500 years: self-awareness, ingenuity,
love and heroism.
To encourage leadership
among Loyola’s faculty members,
Baal has established a
number of faculty development
programs, including Loyola’s
Canisius Program. This selective
eight-year program, which
she co-created and team-teaches
with Vice President of Mission
and Ministry Gary Marando,
fosters the development of
Ignatian faculty leaders from a
variety of disciplines committed
to pursuing more in their
respective fields and daily lives.
Baal also created Courageous
Conversations, a book and speaker
series for students and parents.
Now in its fifth year, the series
features renowned authors and
experts on difficult issues most
influencing adolescents and their
families today. This year’s series
included a school-wide read of
noted lawyer and social justice
activist Bryan Stevenson’s “Just
Mercy: A Story of Justice and
Redemption.” Teachers wove
the complex themes of race,
mental health and social justice
presented in the book into their
lesson plans. In November 2017,
Loyola welcomed Stevenson,
whose visit continues to ignite
members of the community in
conversation and reflection.
Dr. Kathryn M. Baal
Principal, Loyola Academy
(since 2011)
• Bachelor’s of science degree
in biology with concentration
in chemistry and mathematics
from Saint Mary’s College
Notre Dame
• Master’s in education
degree from University of
Portland
• Doctorate’s degree in
educational leadership and
policy studies from Loyola
University Chicago
To further encourage wellness
and tend to the social-emotional
needs of students, Baal
and her team introduced a new
schedule of the day. This new
schedule reduces the number
of periods from nine to six, allows
for longer class periods to
increase our students’ academic
stamina in preparation for college
and ensures that every student
will have a flex period to
use for exercise, study or teacher
meetings.
“Dr. Baal is a master educator
in the Jesuit tradition,” Mc-
Grath said. “At her core she is
a teacher, and all that she does
as principal is informed by
that fundamental relationship
between teacher and student.
Innovation, creativity and diligence
were the hallmarks of
her science classroom. As an
educational leader, Dr. Baal has
a clear vision and is willing to
do the hard work to bring it to
life.”
Baal continues to serve as
an executive board member of
the Benebikira Foundation in
Kigali, Rwanda, where she supports
the foundation’s mission
to develop education and health
care programs for the people of
Rwanda.
The 33rd annual Golden
Apple Awards for Excellence
in Teaching and Leadership
will be held Saturday, May 19,
at WTTW Studios in Chicago.

Clemson University
Local students make dean’s list
Several local students were named
to the dean’s list for the fall 2017
semester. Declan B. McCarthy, of
Kenilworth, is majoring in political
science. Hannah Louise Elsman
and Nancy S. Hillman, of Wilmette,
are majoring in psychology.
Georgetown University
Wilmette resident interns in D.C.
Jake Flanagin, of Wilmette, spent
this fall interning for U.S. Senator
Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) Judiciary
Committee staff, working behind the
scenes in the Senator’s Capitol Hill
office as a graduate intern. Each year,
close to 50 interns work in Durbin’s
Washington, D.C. office.
Flanagin is currently completing
his second year at Georgetown University
Law School in Washington,
D.C. Before entering law school,
Flanagin completed his undergraduate
degree at New York University
where he studied comparative literature.
Following graduation, he
served as a journalism fellow at The
Atlantic where he conducted civil
rights research, which played a key
role in his decision to pursue a Law
Degree.
“Interning in Senator Durbin’s
Judiciary Committee office has further
highlighted the long-term impacts
of elections on the Judiciary
system,” Flanagin said. “Whether
it’s attending hearings, conducting
informational interviews, or helping
staff brief the Senator, I have gained
insight into the impact of the power
within the Judiciary Committee and
the role legislators play in shaping
our legal system.”
The intern responsibilities include
assisting full-time staff in responding
to judiciary-related topics, assisting
with information inquiries, attending
committee and agency hearings
and briefings, researching legislative
issues and policy questions, and observing
floor proceedings. During
that time, the students gain firsthand
knowledge of the legislative process,
learn about the inner-workings of
the federal government, and develop
valuable research skills.

A Word From The (Former) President
More news flashes from days of yore
John Jacoby
Contributing Columnist
• Sept. 17, 1917: Fourteen
male passengers on an
early-morning C&NW
commuter train to Chicago
were arrested by three detectives
for gambling. Two
of the 14 arrestees were
professional gamblers. The
other 12 were North Shore
commuters, a/k/a pigeons,
including three from Gross
Point and Wilmette (John
Bleser, John Huerter, and
Frank Balmer). The men
rode downtown in the baggage
car, the most secluded
location for their lively
games of chance. The fun
started two months ago
with a “little old pitch
game” but it quickly grew
into a high stakes dice
game with the professional
gamblers fleecing
the North Shore dupes and
sailors from Great Lakes.
• May 31, 1924: Several
North Shore residents
report that they observed
a ceremony conducted by
the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan in the forest preserve
on Milwaukee Avenue two
miles north of Glenview
Road. According to the reports,
about 15,000 Klansmen
were present, and the
ceremony included the
burning of a huge cross.
• April 20, 1928: The
Village announced that it
will not accept the offer of
the Shawnee Country Club
[Michigan Shores Club]
to donate its old clubhouse
for residents’ use as
a community house and
recreation center. The offer
would have required the
Village to move the building
off the Club’s property
at Lake and Michigan
avenues to a more central
location. The Club is about
to start construction of a
new clubhouse in the style
of an old manor house
of England. Its architects
are Daniel H. Burnham
and Company. While the
Village has long sought
to establish a community
house, the age and configuration
of the old clubhouse
made its relocation and
reuse impractical.
• Jan. 7, 1930: Edward
Joyce, age 12, of 1011
Chestnut Ave., launched
an assault on neighboring
homes with his new air
gun, breaking a dozen or
more windows. His father,
Nelson Joyce, was out of
town, but he had previously
laid down the law that
Edward was not to have an
air gun. Edward’s mother,
Mable Joyce, relented in a
moment of weakness when
the boy became ill. She
thought the gun-gift might
speed his recovery. It did.
It’s likely that Edward’s
fun with his new air gun
was quite short-lived,
ending even before Nelson
Joyce returned home.
• April 1, 1930: Wilmette’s
Village Board
voted to establish a memorial,
in the form of a U.S.
Navy gun and an inscribed
tablet, on the front lawn
of the Village Hall. The
gun is the gift of Lewis
Springer, 430 Maple Ave.,
in memory of his father,
Milton Springer, who was
Village President in 1890
when the Village Hall
property was purchased
and the first Hall was built.
There’s no direct connection
between the Navy and
either of the Springers.
Lewis Springer is a former
State legislator and was
recently appointed Superintendent
of the Illinois
Forestry Division.
In 1928, the Village Board declined the offer of Shawnee
Country Club to donate its old clubhouse (above) for
use as a community house and recreation center. Photo
from Wilmette Library
• July 18, 1933: Wilmette’s
Village Board
is billing the Chicago,
North Shore & Milwaukee
Railroad (the North
Shore Electric Line)
$100,425.72. The railroad
has operated its trains
over Greenleaf Avenue
and Electric Place for 35
years — from Jan. 5, 1898
to July 8, 1933 — without
compensating the Village.
The railroad is now in
receivership, and the U.S.
District Court has ordered
that all claims of creditors
be presented to the receiver
by the end of the month.
The railroad’s “free” use
of the streets has been a
longstanding controversy.
• Dec. 29, 1936: Frank
Kunz, 171 Prairie Ave.,
Wilmette, has died at the
age of 81. He was one of
Wilmette’s first blacksmiths,
if not the first. He
opened his shop in 1879.
Besides shoeing horses, he
manufactured light wagons.
When automobiles
supplanted wagons, he
transitioned from blacksmithing
and wagon-building
to automobile-painting,
his occupation until his
death.
Letters to the Editor
Village should reconsider
stormwater plan
On Jan. 22, in response
to my inquiry regarding
the Storm Water Action
Plan Option 3’s impact
on the prairie in Centennial
Park, the Village
Manager’s office wrote,
“We don’t yet know the
size/location of the detention
footprint, so we don’t
know what, if any, impact
the project will have on the
prairie garden.”
A winner of a 2012 Wilmette
Historic Preservation
Commission award,
the Centennial Park Prairie
provides residents with a
flower filled location to
observe butterflies, bees
and birds, and the convenient
access to nature that
benefits human mental and
physical health.
A second important benefit
is the prairie’s ongoing
service as an existing
storm water control system.
Located in Centennial
Park’s rain water detention
basin, its deep roots and
spongy absorbent soil currently
efficiently and effectively
absorb stormwater
and prevent flooding.
A third important benefit
is the prairie’s service as
a carbon sink, which efficiently
removes and sequesters
carbon and other
pollutants from the atmosphere,
and offsets global
climate change, widely
considered an “existential
threat” to human life.
Man-made underground
“gray” stormwater systems
cannot sequester pollutants
and do not mitigate
global climate change.
The village should reconsider
the entire stormwater
plan whose three
improvident options require
spending millions of
taxpayer dollars in return
for short-term and speculative
benefits. The basis for
a “Significant Rain Event”
frequency analysis should
be at least 100 years of
data. Yet, Wilmette defines
its basis as a 10-year
storm which has a 10%
chance of occurring in any
given year. Yet, the 2013
Primary Impacts of Climate
Change in the Chicago
Region’s Appendix
noted, as of 2013, Chicago
had already experienced
two 10-year storms in the
prior four years and three
100-year storms since the
1980s.
The trustees made the
decisions that permitted
developers and homeowners
to build in a wetland
which inevitably caused
flooded basements. Now
the trustees should suspend
the stormwater action plan
in its entirety, and send it
to the Wilmette Environmental
and Energy Commission
(EEC), created in
2007. As a founder of the
then newly formed Wilmette
Residents for a Better
Environment, later renamed
Go Green Wilmette
(GGW), I worked for passage
of the ordinance that
created this advisory system.
The trustees voted to
create this commission and
now the trustees should
use it for the purpose for
which they created it.

From the Editor
Getting back into the sports beat
Eric DeGrechie
eric@wilmettebeacon.com
My career began
nearly two
decades ago in
the world of sportswriting.
At a daily newspaper
in Upstate New York, I
covered everything from
high school football to
world-class thoroughbred
horse racing. For
six years, I cranked out
endless copy highlighted
by, among other things,
Kentucky Derby races, interviews
with personalties
letters
From Page 32
like Dean Smith and O.J.
Simpson, of all people,
and travels around the
country chasing stories,
always with a local spin.
While writing about
professional and collegiate
teams and personalities
was always in the mix, the
bread and butter of our
coverage was high school
varsity sports. No matter
the sideline, I was there.
Among the highlights
was the high school basketball
state tournament
in Glens Falls, N.Y. The
games were held at the
former Glens Falls Civic
Center, now Cool Insuring
Arena, for nearly 40
years. Local sportswriters
all circled the dates of the
tournament on their calenders
months in advance.
I saw some really good
players in those days.
Fast-forward to the
to bring a member of the
other party to join. Representative
Schakowsky has
long been a strong advocate
for the environment.
In joining this group, she
has demonstrated her resolve
in addressing climate
change, one of the most
crucial issues of our time.
It is encouraging that
members of Congress and
former Treasury Secretaries
and Secretaries of
State (of both parties) continue
work on solving this
significant economic and
national security issue.
While the plans may differ
slightly, the bipartisan
work is pointing toward
proposals that would significantly
reduce carbon
using a market-correcting
approach, be revenue neutral,
and level the playing
field with carbon polluting
nations. Decreased policy
uncertainty and the reduced
need for increasing carbon
regulation would also be
beneficial to business.
Climate change is impacting
us now. Presently,
we have standing waters
issues in Wilmette that require
significant and costly
infrastructure to mitigate.
Climate change is likely to
exacerbate that issue. The
impacts of climate change
are nonpartisan and we can
work together to solve this
important issue. (Just as
President Reagan worked
with Congress to reduce
acid rain pollutants.) It is
in all of our interests.
I support the bipartisan
approach that our Representative
Jan Schakowsky
and Rep. Upton have taken
to find solutions. If you
present. I don’t get out
to games as often these
days, but The Beacon has
a wonderful sports editor,
Michael Wojtychiw, that
does. With that, I did make
it to the Loyola Academy
versus Evanston girls basketball
regional title game
last week at Lane Tech.
You can read my story on
Page 47 of this edition.
I was a little rusty at
first, missing a few baskets
while reading through my
notes, but like riding a
bike, it all came back to
me. This is an exciting
time in the local sports
world as the winter season
transitions into spring.
Before that happens, we
still have some schools and
individuals competing in
the postseason. We’ve got
it all covered. Who knows,
you might even see my
byline again at some point.
wish to learn more, or get
involved in solving this issue,
you can join the local
chapter of Citizens’ Climate
Lobby, a nonpartisan,
volunteer-driven organization
focused on national
climate policy solutions.

Poet’s Corner
When Winter
Comes, Can
Spring Be
Far Behind?
When facing the early
dark,
The penetrating cold,
The slippery sidewalks,
The layers needed for
warmth—
It helps to remember
spring:
The season of awakening
When the dormant buds
Become pregnant with
promise.
Some will burst into flowers,
Some will uncurl as
leaves—
Slowly at first the scene
will change
From brown to red, green,
gold
As we peel off the layers
And rejoice in the warmth
of the sun
That has also been waiting
To smile on the earth
again.

Rachel Brosnahan channels Wilmette, North Shore roots
Jessica Cabe
Freelance Reporter
Rachel Brosnahan recently
won a Golden Globe
for Best Actress in a TV
Series Musical or Comedy
for her starring role in
the buzzed-about Amazon
series, “The Marvelous
Mrs. Maisel,” but she can
still remember playing a
cowgirl in her third-grade
play at Highland Park’s
Wayne Thomas Elementary
School.
“I don’t remember at all
what the play was about,
but I remember that I
played a southern cowgirl
of some kind,” Brosnahan
said. “I remember standing
in the bathroom at the
school putting freckles on
my face and braiding my
hair, and the feeling that
this was something I wanted
to do forever.”
Brosnahan, whom you
might also recognize
from her role as Rachel
in “House of Cards,” was
born in Milwaukee but
moved to Highland Park
when she was 4 years old
and continued living in
town until she went off
to college. In addition to
Wayne Thomas, she attended
Northwood Junior
High and Highland Park
High School.
Brosnahan has an extensive
credits list on
IMDb.com, but playing
the title character in “The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,”
which also won a Golden
Globe for Best Television
Series — Musical
or Comedy, was her big
break.
The show, created by
Amy Sherman-Palladino,
of “Gilmore Girls” fame,
follows a recently-divorced
Jewish housewife
in the 1950s who discovers
a talent for stand-up
comedy.
“The experience has
been fantastic, and every
piece of it has been a
dream,” Brosnahan said.
“I’m so fortunate to be
working with such extraordinary
leaders and creators
on this project about an
extraordinary woman. Obviously,
the reception to
the show has been so encouraging,
and I’m excited
to see where it goes from
here.”
Before Brosnahan was
winning Golden Globes,
she was leading a pretty
normal North Shore life.
She comes from an athletic
family. She grew up
skiing, snowboarding, figure
skating and playing
basketball “for a hot second”
before realizing she
was terrible at it, she said.
Her affinity for acting
can’t just be attributed to
artistic genes.
“I was always interested
in acting in some capacity,”
she said. “When I was
in elementary school, we
used to do all those little
school plays, and I caught
the bug. It was what I
looked forward to the most
during the school year,
was the opportunity to perform.”
Brosnahan played the
mother in “Bye Bye Birdie”
in junior high and performed
in various plays
and musicals (until she
accepted that she wasn’t
the best singer or dancer)
in high school. She credits
Highland Park High
School with nurturing her
dream of becoming an actress,
particularly its Focus
on the Arts program.
“Everything is written,
created, directed and produced
by the students,”
she said. “It got me interested
in the collaborative
nature of theater and art in
general, and it’s so special
that Highland Park has a
program like that in addition
to their more formal
music and shows they put
on at the Black Box Theatre.”
Brosnahan said Focus
on the Arts also helped her
realize how many opportunities
there are to work
in the performing arts beyond
just acting. Through
the program, she met professional
musicians, visual
artists, designers and
more, all of whom were
living proof to her that her
dream of working in this
industry could come true.
When Brosnahan was 16
years old, she began taking
additional acting classes in
Chicago with Carole Dibo,
who shortly after founded
the Actors Training Center
at The Wilmette Theatre.
Dibo coached Brosnahan
for college auditions.
“Carole runs a program
that is equally focused on
understanding and fulfilling
your passion as an actor
and also understanding
and fulfilling the needs of
the business,” Brosnahan
said. “That’s a great thing
to be able to teach a lot of
young actors.”
Shortly after this time
period, she decided to pursue
acting at New York
University.
While she was still in
school, she landed roles
with shows like “House
of Cards,” “Orange is the
New Black” and “Grey’s
Anatomy.”
She lives in New York
full time now, which is
also where “Mrs. Maisel”
is shot, but she is a Highland
Parker at heart, and
her family still lives there,
she said.
In fact, her upbringing
in the local Jewish community
informs her role as
Miriam Maisel, she said.
“When I read the script,
it felt familiar to me,” she
said. “I was welcomed with
open arms into the Jewish
community in Highland
Park, into my friends’
homes for celebrations, for
holidays, for shivahs, and
grew up really immersed
in Jewish culture and community.
Those experiences
and the friends and family
that I met in Highland Park
were hugely influential in
my life.”
Brosnahan said she was
back in Highland Park this
past fall for a visit and was
surprised at the changes —
it’s not the same Highland
Park she knew growing
up, going to Walker Bros.
almost every weekend for
pancakes and bacon.
“It has changed so
much,” she said. “I can’t
believe it; it’s so trendy.
There are so many great
restaurants now, it’s unreal.”
Speaking of change,
it would seem like the
sudden success of “Mrs.
Maisel” would be bringing
about a lot of big changes
in Brosnahan’s life. But
according to the actress,
it’s a little too soon to tell.
“The show came out so
recently, I feel like I’m still
wrapping my head around
what changed,” she said.
“I feel like things have
changed, and also nothing
has changed, which is exactly
how one might hope
it is.”

got her acting career
started on the North Shore,
including working at the
Actors Training Center in
Wilmette, at the 67th Emmy
Awards in 2015. Photo

team are setting out to accomplish
their own successes
with a world stage
performance.
This past November,
both the U12 and O15
choreography teams from
Glenview’s Sheila Tully
Academy of Irish Dance
placed first in their respective
classes at the
Mid-America Oireachtas
regional competition in
Schaumburg, qualifying to
compete in the 2018 World
Irish Dancing Championships
this March in
Glasgow, Scotland.
The world competition,
which is scheduled from
March 24-April 1, will
feature more than 1,000
young Irish dancers from
around the world performing
in front of judges of
The Irish Dancing Commission
for their shot at
claiming a global title for
2018.
Merrill Parker, 12, of
Wilmette, is happy to connect
with her dance friends
on the dream of competing
on an international stage.
What she said she loves
most about Irish dance are
the unique opportunities it
offers.
“I love learning new
steps and dances and also
building relationships
with people I would have
never met other than doing
dance,” she said.
Parker, a student at Wilmette
Junior High School,
originally got involved
with Irish dance at age 6
after getting involved with
it as an after-school activity
at St. Joe’s.
“I’m really excited to
Parker is headed to the 2018 World Irish Dancing
Championships this March in Glasgow, Scotland, with
her U12 team from Glenview’s Sheila Tully Academy of
Irish Dance.
be with all my friends and
connecting with them and
also competing internationally
against people
from around the world,”
Parker said.
Other Wilmette girls
taking to the stage in Scotland
include Mary Heger
(U12), Maggie Stutz (O15)
and Bridget Vitu (O15).
An Irish dancer for seven
years, 12-year-old Winnetkan
Francie Orth is still
in shock her team will be
heading overseas to compete
against dancers from
around the world for the
coveted World title.
“I’m very nervous but
I’m also super excited to
get the chance to do it,”
she said.
Orth, a student at The
School of Saints Faith,
Hope and Charity, was first
introduced to Irish dance
from an after-school enrichment
activity while in
kindergarten at the school.
Since then, she said her
experiences dancing at
Sheila Tully and traveling
for competitions have been
enjoyable and worthwhile.
“I love meeting a lot
of different people from
outside my school,” Orth
said, “and it’s just super
fun experience to just do
something that involved
just constant activity. It’s
just amazing.”
As part of their qualifying
performances, Orth’s
16-member team showcased
two four-minute
long dances at the regional
competition — something
Orth said both her team
and the O15 team had been
preparing for in workshops
since last July.
One of Orth’s teammates,
Mia Costello, 12, of
Glenview, has been dancing
for eight years and is
also greatly anticipating
the chance to show off their
talents to a global audience.
“I’m really excited about
seeing all of the dancers
from around the world and
also, I think seeing [other
dancers’] dresses will be
fun too,” Costello said.
Costello added what
she loves most about Irish
dance is the collaborative
team aspect of performing.
“I think it’s really fun
to be with other dancers,”
she said. “It’s not just all
on you and you have more
support at the competitions.”
Fourteen-year-old Bella
Chiarieri, of Glenview, is
very much looking forward
to dancing overseas.
And, the team she was
on two years ago won at
World’s, so she’s looking
forward to trying to claim
a first-place title again.
“I’m just really excited
to travel with our team and
be in Scotland and have
the experience,” she said.
“It’s really fun.”

Healy, her longtime coach. Photo Submitted
Chiarieri first got involved
with Irish dance
after watching her older
sister, Madaket Chiarieri,
dance. Madaket Chiarieri,
15, is also heading to Scotland
to perform with the
O15 team. “I think [Irish
dance] is cool because it’s
something not a lot of people
do,” Madaket Chiarieri
said. “I think it’s a really
unique sport to do that
when you tell people you
do it, they always want
to know more about it so
it’s cool to do something
unique and different.”
Sheila Healy, the teams’
dance teacher at Sheila
Tully, said the 34 girls
going to Scotland are the
most the school has ever
sent to the world stage at
once.
“It’s very exciting that
we have so many going,”
she said.
Healy, who has Irish
danced since the age of 3,
danced professionally for
a few years and taught at
Sheila Tully for more than
a decade, said she loves
how involved the dancers
at Sheila Tully become
with the Irish culture and
the dancing scene.
“My favorite part [about
Sheila Tully] is he kids,
the family [and] the atmosphere,”
Healy said. “It’s a
lot of fun. There’s a competitive
side of the school
and the fun side of the
school. I like being able to
enjoy both sides of that.”
Healy said more than
half of the school is made
up of dancers who come
from multigenerational
Irish dancing families.
Many students have had
parents and even grandparents
dance with Sheila
Tully, who has taught Irish
dance to locals for more
than 55 years.
Following Worlds, the
Sheila Tully dancers will
be entering their show
season, traveling across
Chicagoland and performing
at schools, Irish events
and other smaller competitions.

Elly’s Pancake House grows with customers over 20 years
Brittany Kapa
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.
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

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.
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.

gan’s journey began at a Futures
camp which was made
up of roughly 200 girls per
region from 12 different
regional camps. Those 200
athletes trained together
through seven different intense
sessions. Next along
her journey was the regional
tryouts, where players were
picked for their respective
regional teams. After that
Morgan headed to the national
tournament where her
regional team competed.
The tournament affords
the players the opportunity
to be selected for junior
national camp, which is a
group of the top 60 girls in
the U-17 age group. Three
early-July days of intense
training, playing eight hours
a day, with the competition
being very hard followed.
After that tryout, the coaches
call back 36 girls for the
STX Select Program. This
winter, the tryout were from
Dec. 26 to 29, there were
about 36 girls that the USA
coaches evaluated and then
after the tryout the coaches
select the final 22-member
team.
Morgan is the lone Illinois
representative on the
team, and only one of four
not from the East Coast.
“It’s very exciting because
on the East Coast,
field hockey is so string
and it’s still developing in
the Midwest so to be able
to represent my region and

my club is exciting and a
huge honor,” she said.
After a couple training
camps over the next two
months, Morgan and her
teammates will embark on a
tour of Uruguay at the end of
March or early April to play
against some of the country’s
local teams. For Morgan,
who has been in the USA
Field Hockey system for
four years, but never made it
this far, the experience is one
she’s looking forward to.
“It’ll be really cool to
represent the U.S. that
way,” she said. “It’ll be intimidating
just because it’s
the highest level and I’ve
never been there before,
but right now I’m just excited
about the opportunity
I’ve been given. “

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
Photo submitted
be able to work at 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.

Ramblers hustle past Wildkits for regional crown
Eric DeGrechie, 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
the Ramblers in January. Next
up for Loyola 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
Loyola Academy celebrates after winning the Class 4A Lane Tech regional title game versus 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. Addie Morrill tallied
four steals.
While defeating Evanston
was a huge step for Loyola,
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

Murdock came into the
beam final as reigning

for the New Trier sophomore,

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
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
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..
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.”

NSCDS’s Xas Morgan makes U.S. National Team
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Xas Morgan, a South Africa
native and North Shore
Country Day School athlete,
has been playing field
hockey for as long as she
can remember.
Her parents, who were
both members of the South
Africa National Team,
were the ones who encouraged
her to try the sport.
Even with such a storied
background in field hockey,
Morgan had her doubts going
into the USA Field
Hockey camps. Those
doubts were soon erased
as she was recently named
to the U.S. U-17 Women’s
National Team. Morgan
will now have the chance
to represent her country on
an international stage.
“My initial goal was to
make the Junior National
camp, which was three steps
before this process,” she
said. “I had no aspirations
of making the final team because
I didn’t think that was
what I could have achieved.
Then once I got the tryouts
I said, ‘OK, I can compete
with these girls.’”
But for someone coming
off of a great two-year
stretch with her school
team and having already
committed to play at the
University of Virginia, why
the doubt?
“It’s highly competitive
and mostly girls from the
East Coast are selected and
USA Field Hockey can be
very political so you kind of
have to be in the system to
get selected,” she said. “It’s
hard as an outsider to come
in and make the team. But
also, we don’t get the same
competition these girls are
getting because the east coast
is so strong and we don’t
have that competition in the
Midwest. I was going and
expecting to be shut down
by all these girls but once I
realized that I had the speed
and the skills, I thought, ‘OK
I belong here, I can compete
with these girls.’”
For years field hockey
has been thought of as an
East Coast sport, with teams
from New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Virginia

have been a mainstay of talented
athletes and are often
considered the country’s
best players. Players in the
Midwest, Illinois especially,
have been behind their East
Coast counterparts but with
the game spreading across
the nation more players
from all different areas are
starting to rise to the national
stage.
“It was incredible to find
out I made it because I had
been training for a long
time for it,” Morgan said.
“I thought I did pretty well
but wasn’t sure because
there was a lot of hard competition
so when it came
out it was really cool and I
was so excited.”
Making the team wasn’t
easy, as it ended up being
almost a full-year process
from beginning to end. Mor-

New Trier continues sectional dominance
Michael Wojtychiw
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 seasonhigh
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.

New Trier’s Tangen, Ryan shine at state finals
Michael Wojtychiw
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 Tangen
falling to Will Lewan, also
New Trier’s Patrick Ryan after winning his third-place
match at Saturday, Feb. 17’s, IHSA Individual Wrestling
State Final in Champaign. Douglas Cottle/PHOTONEWS
MEDIA
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 character-defining
moment,
how guys bounce back after
those tough semifinal,
quarterfinal losses.”
The two bounced back
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 thirdplace
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.

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,
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
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
