Lake Forest women tackle self defense 

Lake Forest Police 

Department offers 

self defense class 

Alyssa Groh, Editor 

Patrol Commander Dwight Davis demonstrates how an 

attacker might attempt to take down a victim. 

Learning to keep yourself 

safe at all times begins 

with awareness, 

according to Dwight Davis, 

a Lake Forest Police 

patrol commander, who 

taught a self defense class 

to Lake Forest women. 

The awareness begins 

with accepting that no one 

is immune to being in a 

dangerous situation, even 

in a town like Lake Forest. 

Approximately 20 

women who live, work or 

go to school in Lake Forest 

enrolled in the self defense 

class hosted by the 

Lake Forest Police Department 

The class began 15 

years ago to help women 

learn how to protect themselves. 

“We thought there was 

a need for a basic self defense 

and awareness class

Residents seek more statistics on Lake Bluff Golf Club 


More than 100 residents 

attended the public comment 

meeting on the potential 

closing of the Lake 

Bluff Golf Club on Monday, 

March 5, to raise their 

concerns about the Lake 

Bluff Golf Club.

Compassionate Care at Home

• In-Home Companionship 

• Recreational Activities 

• Protection from Falling 

• Errands & Appointments 

After hearing the same 

negative statistics on the 

Lake Bluff Golf Club at 

the second public comment 

meeting, residents asked to 

hear all the statistics, both 

negative and positive. 

Many residents felt the 

statistics presented were 

skewed. 

Ron Salski, the Park 

District’s executive director, 

presented some basic 

figures to launch the conversation. 

The golf club will remain 

open for the 2018 

season, but its future after 

that is undecided. The

Board will vote on the future 

of the golf club at an 

upcoming meeting. The 

vote could take place as 

soon as its next scheduled 

meeting on March 19. 

According to data Salski 

compiled from Billy 

Casper Golf, which is the 

company that currently 

manages the course, the 

Park District, recreation 

accessibility consultants, 

and FGM Architects, golf 

has not only dropped by almost 

6,000 annual rounds 

since 2002, but the course 

has been operating at a financial 

loss for more than 

a decade. Since 2005, the 

Lake Bluff Golf Club has 

lost more than $3 million 

and is projected to lose 

more than $5.4 million in 

the next 12 years — and 

that’s a modest estimate 

according to Salski. 

Salski shared possible 

options for downsizing the 

golf course in an attempt 

to cut losses, but the only 

option that ultimately gets 

the golf course out of the 

red is shutting down golf 

operations and simply 

mowing and maintaining 

walking paths. This would 

mean eliminating staff 

positions, reducing maintenance 

costs and closing 

the club house. 

For the Park District 

facility that requires the 

highest tax subsidy to run, 

Salski said just 650 to 800 

of the 8,000 residents of 

Lake Bluff use the Golf 

Club. That’s less than 10 

percent of the community. 

Of all the rounds played 

at the club, more than 80 

percent are from non-residents. 

Lake Bluff resident 

Mike Coleman and his 

wife Jenny stood up at 

the meeting and asked 

for a better representation 

of statistics for the golf 

course. 

“The numbers are displayed 

in a very pointed 

way to come to a conclusion,” 

Mike Coleman said. 

Many others who spoke 

after him also asked for 

more well rounded statistics. 

Mike Coleman also felt 

the public has not known 

about the issue for long 

enough to react and asked 

for more time before making 

a final decision. 

“Yes you had a meeting 

about the golf club for five 

years, but this is the first 

time you have put the public 

on notice,” he said. “... 

So I am not saying closing 

the golf club may not 

be the final best option, 

but I am asking that you 

(the park district board) 

approach this in the right 

way. Give us time and 

present the facts in a fair 

way.” 

After learning that the 

club house needs more 

than $1 million in repairs, 

many of the residents in 

favor of keeping the golf 

course felt that repairing 

the club house was not 

necessary. They asked the 

board to only complete 

necessary repairs in order 

to minimize costs to keep 

the golf club open. 

While a majority of residents 

were their to make 

their case to save the golf 

club, a few felt it was time 

to close the golf club and 

move on. 

“If you look at the numbers, 

it is not feasible to 

go forward with the golf 

course; There is just no 

way,” said James Arnold, 

who has been a resident 

of Lake Bluff for 7 years. 

“From my point of view 

when you look at the numbers, 

it should have been 

closed 10 years ago. I am 

glad we are looking at it 

now.” 

All of the questions 

asked at the public comment 

meetings were posted 

and answered online.

on the statistics of the 

golf course, and answers to

meetings, visit www.lakebluffparks.org/futuregolf.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Car crashes through front 

window of Wilmette 

Panera 

A car crashed through 

the front window of Panera 

Bread on March 6 in 

Wilmette. 

The driver of the vehicle 

has been identified as 

Elaine Joyce, 83, of Wilmette. 

According to officials, 

a black Cadillac sedan, 

driven by Joyce, crashed 

through the window at 

approximately 6 p.m. during 

a dinner rush at the 

restaurant. The car landed 

near the counter. The 

Wilmette Police and Fire 

departments, along with 

the Winnetka Fire Department, 

responded to the 

scene. 

According to the Wilmette 

Police, Joyce, who 

was uninjured, was still 

in the vehicle when they 

arrived. A 67-year-old female 

customer was found 

sitting on the floor in front 

of the vehicle’s bumper. 

It was determined that 

she was near the counter 

when she was struck by 

the vehicle and glass from 

the shattered window. A 

38-year-old female customer 

was also near the 

counter and fell trying to 

move away after the glass 

window shattered inward.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Former trustee calls 

for Northbrook assault 

weapons ban 

Michael Scolaro, a former 

three-term Village 

Board trustee who retired 

from the board last year, 

said he only had a couple 

of regrets stemming from 

his time as a trustee. 

One of them, he said, 

was not a vote he made, 

but one that was not put up 

for a vote at all. 

“I listened to people 

come up and speak to us 

about an assault weapons 

ban,” he said. “I thought 

‘there’s 300 million guns 

in the country right now, 

what is a piece of paper going 

to do? A piece of paper 

isn’t going to stop a bullet, 

it’s not going to make anybody 

give back a gun, it’s 

merely a feel-good thing 

for the do-gooders,’ was 

my thought.” 

Village President Sandy 

Frum said, however, the 

decision is not in the Village’s 

hands anymore.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

Highland Park man 

sentenced to 54 years in 

2013 murder 

One of the three men 

charged in the 2013 murder 

of Highwood resident 

Colin Nutter was sentenced 

March 2. 

Philip Vatamaniuc, 22, 

of Highland Park, was sentenced 

to 54 years in prison, 

his attorney LaTonya 

Burton said. 

Nutter was found dead 

of a gunshot wound near 

the Edens Expressway 

in Wilmette, close to the 

Skokie border. 

According to court documents, 

Vatamaniuc and 

two others had planned 

to rob Nutter after buying 

marijuana from him. 

Burton said she and her 

law partner, Renea Amen, 

plan to appeal Vatamaniuc’s 

sentence. 

In court documents, 

Vatamaniuc claims he only 

helped hide the body, but 

did not take part in planning 

the murder or robbery. 

Burton said she and Amen 

believe that Vatamaniuc’s 

sentence is unfair because 

of non-credible witnesses 

and the fact that Vatamaniuc 

was not the shooter. 

She said she hopes the 

appeal attorney will write 

an appeal reflective of that. 

According court records, 

Benjamin Schenk, 

of Highwood, and Michael 

Coffee, of Highland Park, 

were also involved in the 

slaying of Nutter. 

Schenk has pleaded 

guilty and is awaiting sentencing, 

while Coffee is 

awaiting trial. 

Burton said, as part of 

Schenk’s plea deal, he offered 

up information on 

Vatamaniuc and Coffee. 

She also said that some 

of the witnesses called 

were either under the influence 

of mind-altering substances 

or made statements 

under duress.

Self Defense 

From Page 3 

just in case you are put in 

a dangerous situation or 

something bad happens,” 

Davis said. 

This year, the course 

was reformatted to expand 

over four days and 

last 10 hours in total. 

The class began on 

March 6 with the following 

sessions on March 8, 

March 13 and March 15. 

The self defense class 

covers areas such as personal 

safety and threat 

awareness concepts, and 

participants are taught realistic 

self-defense techniques 

by Lake Forest 

Police defensive tactics 

instructors. The class begins 

in a classroom setting 

where Davis explains the 

awareness aspect to self 

defense. 

Self defense begins 

with awareness, being 

aware of your surroundings 

at all times, and being 

able to identify a dangerous 

situation and how 

to handle the situation to 

keep yourself safe. 

“We teach awareness 

and avoidance and how 

to recognize a bad situation 

and how to avoid it. 

If you can’t avoid a dangerous 

situation we teach 

you how to de-escalate the 

dangerous situation,” Davis 

said. 

Part of learning how to 

react in a harmful environment 

is learning how 

to protect yourself physically. 

The participants and instructors 

engage in handson 

self defense techniques 

that teach women how to 

react and protect themselves 

in a stressful and 

dangerous situation. 

Through a series of realistic 

scenarios women are 

taught a variety of ways to 

defend themselves against 

an attacker. 

“We teach basic kicks, 

punches, elbow and knee 

strikes,” David said. “Additionally, 

basic grappling 

skills are taught 

with weapon defense 

(knife and gun), and gross 

motor techniques that 

can be performed under 

stress.“ 

Davis emphasized the 

skills are taught for survival. 

“We teach these physical 

skills to get away from 

a situation,” Davis said. 

“We are not teaching you 

how to fight, but how to 

survive in a dangerous 

situation.”

Lake Forest Library offers fun activities during spring break 


Lake Forest Library recognizes 

not everyone is 

able to go on vacation during 

spring break. 

And for that reason, Lorie 

Rohrer, head of children’s 

services, wanted to 

offer extra activities during 

spring break at the library. 

“We feel like not everyone 

goes away for spring 

break and people are looking 

for things to do. Why 

not come to your local library?” 

Rohrer said. “We 

have gotten such positive 

feedback from the public 

because they are excited 

there is something that 

they can do during spring 

break.” 

Spring break activities 

will kick-off in the Children’s 

Library beginning 

March 23 and will run 

through March 31. 

Rohrer said activities are 

aimed for babies through 

teenagers. 

On March 23 the spring 

break activities will begin 

with a scavenger hunt, 

which will be available 

each day of the week. 

Rohrer said the Scavenger 

hunt will appeal to toddlers 

and teenagers as there will 

be a different scavenger 

hunt for the variety of 

ages. When a child completes 

the scavenger hunt 

they will have the chance 

to search for a treasure in a 

pirates treasure chest. 

The Library will offer 

a new program from 

1:30-11:30 a.m. on March 

24, cosplay for kids. The 

cosplay program encourages 

children to come to 

the library dressed as their 

favorite superhero character. 

Children will then 

walk the runway, pose for 

a photo opportunity, make 

a magic wand or mask to 

protect their secret identity, 

and view movie clips 

of characters in action. 

Each month the library 

offers a craft day, and for 

spring break the library 

will host another craft day 

on March 26. This event 

will take place all day long, 

and children can make bird 

kites, which Rohrer said 

will appeal to teens as it is 

a bit more challenging. 

For children looking 

to build something with 

a variety of objects, look 

no farther than build it 

day from 2-3:30 p.m. on 

March 27. In this event 

children will explore science, 

technology, engineering 

and math ideas 

with straws, paper tubes, 

cards, and blocks. Children 

will build a tall structure 

using straws, paper 

tubes, cards and blocks. 

For children who were 

not able to go on vacation 

for spring break, the library 

will bring vacation to them 

from 12-1 p.m. on March 

28, for a beach party. Bring 

a beach towel and lunch 

to the library beach party. 

Watch book-related movies, 

read some “hot” books, 

make a lei and enjoy other 

“beachy” fun activities. 

Tropical dessert will be 

provided during the beach 

party. Donning Hawaiian 

shirts are optional, but encouraged. 

Looking for some adrenaline-rushing 

fun? Join the 

library from 2-3:30 p.m. 

on March 29 for game day. 

Finally on March 31 

there will be a LEGO Club 

activity, open to all, from 

10:30-11:30 a.m. Come to 

this event for brick-building 

fun and tackle different 

LEGO challenges. During 

this challenge children will 

be tasked with building a 

parachute LEGO man.

LF Open Air Market closes after decline in participation 


The Lake Forest Open 

Air Market at the East 

Side Train Station, which 

opened nearly eight years 

ago, will not come back 

for another season this 

summer. 

The City of Lake Forest’s 

decision to close the 

Open Air Market came 

from a decrease in attendance 

at the market. 

The future of the market 

making a return is unclear, 

according to Catherine 

Czerniak, the director of 

community development. 

“The Open Air Market 

wasn’t thriving as it has in 

the early years,” Czerniak 

said. “We are looking for 

an opportunity to look at 

some fresh ideas.” 

Throughout the past 

few years the City of 

Lake Forest received feedback 

from vendors and 

residents noting why they 

thought participation was 

declining. 

Some of the feedback 

received included there 

was not very much produce 

offered at the market, 

whereas other locations 

nearby such as Elawa 

Farm Garden Market and 

the Lake Bluff Farmers 

Market had better produce 

options, Czerniak said. 

“We are not looking to 

duplicate some activities 

and are looking for fresh 

ideas,” Czerniak said. 

In conjunction with 

Lake Forest property owners, 

businesses and nonprofit 

groups, the City encourages 

residents to visit 

the Elawa Farm Garden 

Market and to patronize 

the variety of retail businesses 

in the community 

that offer fresh fruits, 

cheeses, vegetables, specialty 

meats, salads, flowers, 

craft beers, wine and 

coffee. 

Elawa Farm is located 

at 1401 Middlefork Drive, 

Lake Forest, opens on 

May 18 and runs through 

Oct. 27, featuring produce, 

herbs and flowers harvested 

directly from the Elawa 

Garden and from selected 

vendors. 

As the City reevaluates 

the Open Air Market and 

searches for new ideas, 

residents are encouraged 

to send ideas to Catherine 

Czerniak at czerniac@ 

cityoflakeforest.com, or 

the Lake Forest/Lake 

Bluff Chamber of Commerce, 

(847) 234-4282.

were able to get the remaining occupants out 

of the home. 

The first arriving Lake Forest Fire unit 

reported smoke showing from the roof of 

the home. An attack line was pulled and 

advanced through the first floor where the 

crews were able to get the fire under control 

in about 10 minutes. Preliminary estimates 

put the damage at $20,000. The investigation 

is ongoing. 

Lake Bluff, Knollwood, Libertyville, 

Deerfield and North Chicago assisted Lake 

Forest crews at the scene. Glencoe and 

Waukegan covered Lake Forest’s fire stations 

in case of other calls. 

Village 

From Page 9 

have one thing in common: 

the car is left unlocked. It 

takes less than 20 seconds to 

open an unlocked car, grab 

what is in plain view, check 

the usual hiding places for 

other items, and get away. 

How long would it take you 

to lock your car? 

“We continue to see thieves 

take advantage of unlocked 

cars in our community,” said 

Police Chief David Belmonte. 

“We have increased our night 

patrols and continue to work 

with other agencies to stop 

these criminals, but every 

car stolen this year had the 

keys left in it. We are making 

ourselves targets.” The members 

of the Lake Bluff Police 

Department encourage these 

steps to avoid being a victim: 

Lock all your vehicle’s 

doors and close every window. 

• Do not leave valuables in 

your car. 

• If you must leave valuable 

items in your car, place 

items out of sight. 

• Call the Police Department 

to report ANY suspicious 

activities, persons, or 

vehicles. 

Do your part by taking preventive 

action and spreading 

the word. You can make a difference.

A look into History 

Founding of RKO Studios connected to LF,LB 

David Forlow 

Contributing Columnist 

John J. Murdock, 

known as “JJ,” moved 

to the U.S. from 

Scotland when he was a 

young boy. 

Murdock began his 

career as a promoter for 

Vaudeville shows in the 

1880’s. By 1890 he ran 

his own theater company 

in Cincinnati and within 

a few years he moved to 

Chicago to open the Murdock 

Vaudeville Theater 

atop the Masonic Temple 

Building – then the tallest 

building in Chicago. 

Murdock was soon 

the biggest showman in 

Chicago. 

In 1900 he married performer 

Grace Akass and the 

couple settled at 550 Center 

Ave., Lake Bluff, where 

their house included a builtin 

stage on the main floor. 

Minnie (Akass) Sleeper, 

sister of Grace, also lived 

in Lake Bluff. 

With help from Murdock, 

Sleeper’s daughter 

Martha Sleeper would 

go on to become an early 

movie star. 

Murdock served as Lake 

Bluff Village Treasurer and 

donated money to have 

a clubhouse built for the 

volunteer “Fire Lads” as 

he called them. 

As his reputation grew, 

Murdock accepted the job 

of general manager of the 

BF Keith Theater chain. 

A shrewd businessman, 

Murdock accepted a salary 

of only $6,000 in exchange 

for an ownership stake in 

the business. Members of 

the Keith family lived on 

Westminster Road in Lake 

Forest. 

It was about this time 

that friends noticed that 

Murdock lived on a diet 

almost exclusively of sour 

milk and honey. Murdock 

suffered from intestinal 

problems and doctors had 

given him only a short 

time to live. 

After extensive reading, 

Murdock was convinced 

that the ancient honey and 

sour milk remedy would 

work. He continued his unusual 

diet for several years 

until he was cured. 

Murdock was also a real 

estate developer. He owned 

and developed property in 

Larchmont, N.Y. where he 

kept an 80-foot power boat 

named for his wife Grace. 

In Larchmont he built a 

home for his sister-in- law 

Minnie Sleeper and her 

husband William Sleeper, 

who had joined the Keith 

Theater business. 

Murdock was a financial 

supporter of the Larchmont 

Firehouse and was made 

an honorary member of the 

department. 

Murdock then moved 

to California and built 

four large homes on North 

Foothill Drive in Beverly 

Hills. 

Murdock lived in one of 

the homes, his son John Jr. 

in another and the Sleeper 

John J. Murdock, who founded RKO Studios, lived in 

this house located at 550 Center Ave., Lake Bluf,f in 

1900. Photo Submitted 

family in another just three 

doors away. Murdock then 

helped arrange the merger 

of the Keith Theater chain 

and Joseph P. Kennedy’s 

fledgling movie business. 

The combined company 

operated under the name 

RKO Pictures with the “K” 

for Keith. 

When the merger was 

completed Murdock became 

Chairman, a position 

he held until his retirement 

in 1929. 

Murdock’s net worth was 

estimated to have reached 

$60 million dollars which is 

nearly $1 billion in today’s 

money. He devoted much 

of his retirement to supporting 

cancer research, donating 

millions to the effort. 

When Murdock passed 

away in 1948 the lead 

article in Variety Magazine 

proclaimed “John J. Murdock, 

Vaude King, Dies At 

Age of 85”. 

David Forlow has been a 

Lake Bluff resident for more 

than 20 years. He serves as 

the board vice president for 

the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff 

Historical Society.

An intriguing number from this week’s edition 

More than 100 people 

attended the public 

comment meeting for the 

Lake Bluff Golf Club, Page 4 

From the Editor 

Websites are an important 

part of a successful business 

Alyssa Groh 


Last week, I attended 

the second Lake 

Bluff Park District 

public comment meeting 

regarding the potential 

closing of the Lake Bluff 

Golf Club, as seen on Page 

4 of this week’s Leader. 

Letters to the Editor 

City Council needs to 

actively show opposition 

to third rail 

I have now attended two 

City Council meetings and 

spoke at the last one where 

Ms. Jeter provided her report. 

I provided the health 

statistics from renowned 

studies citing the dangers 

of diesel fuel exhaust. In 

addition, I just read Ms. 

Janice Schnobrich’s letter 

to the editor this week in 

the Daily North Shore. 

I find it appalling that 

there have been no consequences 

to Mr. Kiely as the 

City Manager for hiding 

and funneling funds to lobby 

for the Amtrak stop and 

the corresponding third rail 

(because they are linked no 

matter how much you try to 

deny it). Having worked 

in the corporate world for 

More than 100 residents 

came out to voice their 

opinion about the possible 

closing of the golf club. 

Some favored it and 

some wanted to do everything 

possible to stop it. 

During the public comment 

session, a few residents 

spoke out about the 


website. 

They talked about how 

they do not like it and that 

it is not easy to navigate. 

Residents also said although 

the website claims 

you can sign up for a golf 

club membership online, 

you actually cannot. 

As residents shared 

the last thirty years, this 

egregious offense would 

have been cause for immediate 

termination. It is 

unfathomable to me how 

Mr. Kiely still has his job. 

The City Council appears 

to be burying this by limiting 

the extent of Ms. Jeter’s 

investigation. Someone 

has clearly profited from 

this venture, the question 

remains who? While there 

are 1-2 council people who 

appear to care, the majority 

of the council is brushing 

off the citizens of Lake 

Forest’s concerns, and in 

Mr. Tack’s case, dismissing 

them outright with profound 

disdain for both the 

people and their comments. 

Perhaps the most disturbing 

part of the meeting 

was the profound inability 

of any council member to 

explain one step that was 

their frustrations about the 

website, I could not help 

but agree with them. 

Many times, I find stories 

for the paper through 

organizations’ websites. 

Many times, it comes 

from an organizations’ 

online calendar. 

I have continuously 

searched for an online 

calendar of events on the 


and have not found one. 

The website has schedules 

for fitness classes and 

athletic groups, but I cannot 

easily find a calendar 

of events. 

In Lake Forest, I cover 

a lot of events through the 

being taken to prevent the 

third rail. While it was 

noted that the Council is 

against the third rail, as is 

everyone in the community, 

not one of you was able 

to verbalize any effort to 

stop this from occurring. 

As the mismanagement 

of the City continues to 

be reported in the media, 

Lake Forest is quickly losing 

its image as a shining 

star of the North Shore. 

Property values are declining 

and will decline rapidly 

if we become a polluted 

train depot. I have a hard 

time imagining this is what 

you want, so I suggest that 

a plan gets formulated and 

implemented quickly to 

put a stop to this before it 

is too late. 

Lori Thuente 

Resident of Lake Forest 

Park District, which runs 

its calendar through the 

City’s website. 

This may not be the best 

method, but at least I can 

find a calendar. 

For the continued success 

of the future of the 

Lake Bluff Park District, 

I think the Park District 

really needs to consider 

revamping its website. 

Residents will visit it 

more, attend more events 

and spend more money at 

Park District facilities. 

If the Park District 

decides to keep the golf 

club, I think this will help 

with retaining members 

and gaining new ones.

‘Music Man’ features Lake Forest students in classical story 

Megan Bernard 

Contributing Editor 

For this year’s spring 

musical, students at North 

Shore Country Day School 

took a classical story and 

made it their own. 

The production, “The 

Music Man,” was performed 

Thursday-Saturday, 

March 8-10, at the 

Winnetka school. The cast, 

ensemble and production 

team live in many local 

North Shore suburbs, including 

Lake Forest. 

“The Music Man” followed 

a fast-talking traveling 

salesman, Harold 

Hill, as he cons the people 

of River City, Iowa, into 

buying instruments and 

uniforms for a boy band 

that he vows to organize 

— despite the fact that he 

doesn’t know a trombone 

from a treble clef, according 

to a school press 

release. Hill’s plans to 

skip town with the cash 

are foiled when he falls 

for Marian, the librarian, 

who transforms him into a 

respectable citizen by curtain’s 

fall. 

The show’s director, 

Julia Macholl, chose the 

production for the annual 

spring musical for a couple 

of reasons, she said. 

“Many, many people 

have some sort of a connection 

to ‘Music Man,’ 

whether seeing the movie, 

listening to a record of the 

music, seeing a production 

or being involved in a 

production of it,” Macholl 

said. “It is a very popular, 

classical musical and it has 

such staying power after 

many years.” 

Macholl also said she 

likes to vary the musical 

offerings each year so students 

have a nice balance 

of experience with modern 

day musicals, classics and 

light opera. 

“It is a feel-good show 

where the audience is allowed 

to escape for twoand-a-half 

hours and immerse 

themselves in a 

world of beautiful music, 

comedy and a semi-predictable 

plot,” she added 

about “Music Man.” “It 

also touches base on the 

societal norm and how 

judgement and predetermined 

opinions about people 

and their careers, social 

status and more can really 

hold us back from getting 

to know each other deep 

down.” 

For Lake Forest actor 

Zach Barker, participating 

in “The Music Man” was 

an enjoyable experience, 

which started with rehearsals 

in January. 

“I’ve done more straight 

acting before and not as 

many musicals, so ‘Music 

Man’ has been different 

for me,” said Barker, a junior 

who played Marcellus 

Washburn. “My experience 

has been enjoyable 

and the director (Macholl) 

has been fantastic. I also 

have stepped further out of 

my comfort zone because 

the character I play has a 

southern accent, so I have 

to add that.” 

Other Lake Forest participants 

included: Jack 

Terlato who was part of the 

sound designer/crew. 

In all, Macholl’s favorite 

part of the production was 

“how excited the students 

get for both ‘The Wells 

Fargo Wagon’ and ‘Shipoopi’ 

numbers.” 

“The Music Man” was 

presented through special 

arrangement with Music 

THE SPRING 

Theatre International. All 

authorized performance 

materials were also supplied 

by MTI.

In Memoriam 

James E. “Jim” Farmer 

James E. “Jim” 

Farmer, 62, formerly 

of Lake Bluff, 

died March 1 from 

complications related 

to West Nile 

Virus. He was the 

beloved husband of Farmer 

36 years of Leslie 

nee Fait; adored father of Rick 

(Lauren) Farmer and Bill Farmer; 

dear son of June nee Dean and the 

late Ezekiel Farmer; loving brother 

of John (Bryce) Farmer; and 

devoted caregiver to his beloved 

dog Buddy. 

After growing up in Lake Bluff, 

Farmer moved to Montana with 

his family in high school and 

graduated from the University of 

Montana School of Business. He 

earned his CPA and worked for 

Arthur Andersen & Co., where 

he became a partner in the audit 

practice, specializing in telecommunications. 

Farmer changed careers to enable 

him to spend more time with 

his family and became CFO of 

several organizations including 

Frankel & Co., The Jacobson 

Group and most recently The Horton 

Group, where he was a member 

of its Board of Directors. He 

donated many hours to charitable 

and civic organizations, including 

coaching his sons’ soccer and 

basketball teams, taking leadership 

roles on the boards of several 

community organizations, including 

The Winnetka Community 

House and the New Trier Booster 

Club. He counseled fellow diabetics 

at Mt. Sinai Hospital after he 

underwent a successful pancreas 

transplant and devoted himself 

to volunteering at Orphans of the 

Storm Animal Shelter and driving 

animal relay rescue missions. 

Farmer was a passionate fisherman, 

landscaper and drummer. 

Judith A. Bartuch 

Judith A. Bartuch (nee McGarity), 

79, formerly of Lake Bluff, 

died Feb. 28. Bartuch was born in 

Chicago on Nov. 4, 1938. She was 

the daughter of Bertram Kenneth 

McGarity and Mary E. McGarity, 

who preceded her in death. 

She was a mother, homemaker 

and business owner of shops on 

Scranton Avenue in Lake Bluff 

and was a very active supporter of 

the Republican Party. 

She is survived by her partner, 

William “Bill” Goodman; children, 

Anne (Steve) Racine, Fred 

(Jill) Bartuch Jr. and Brian (Kim) 

Bartuch; beloved grandchildren,

brother, Tim (Nancy) McGarity; 

sisters, Mary Zungrone, Colleen

Stephen J. Werenski 

Stephen J. Werenski, 

73, formerly of Lake 

Bluff, died March 3. He was born 

on Nov. 21, 1944 in Waukegan. He 

was the only child born to the late 

Marjorie and Stephen Werenski, 

and was the beloved husband of 

Opal Werenski, for 54 years. 

Werenski worked for Hansen 

(later Mercer) in Lake Bluff for 

30 years. He was a veteran of the 

United States Army. 

He loved fishing, bowling, golf, 

poker and his many fantasy sports 

leagues. Some may remember him 

as the infamous Dr. Bowl. But 

most of all, his favorite pastime 

was spending time with his grandchildren, 

who equally loved their 

time with “Papa”. Steve touched 

the lives of many with his kind 

heart, sense of humor and his encyclopedic 

knowledge of sports. 

He will be remembered fondly and 

missed dearly. 

He is survived by his loving children, 

Kristina (Eric) and Heather 

(Tom); treasured grandchildren, 

Athena, Tommy and Lucas; and 

countless others who were blessed 

to call him uncle, cousin, friend, 

colleague or a second dad. 

Interment at Ascension Cemetery 

in Libertyville.

HONORARYCHAIR 

Kimberly Eberl 

CEO&FOUNDER 

MOTION 

The Reverend N. Luke 

Back accepted the call to 

serve as the 12th rector of 

The Church of the Holy 

Spirit in Lake Forest. 

“I felt called to The 

Church of the Holy Spirit 

because the need for hope, 

renewal and growth in the 

parish encouraged and attracted 

me,” said Back. 

“The two congregations 

I served in the past have 

grown spiritually and numerically. 

With God’s 

careful and gracious guidance, 

the potential for [The 

Church of the Holy Spirit] 

is unlimited and our possibilities 

for the future are 

Divine.” 

Highly recommended by 

heads of theological seminaries, 

bishops and rectors 

throughout the country, 

Back is a deeply spiritual 

priest and strong leader 

who connects with people 

of all ages. He leads with 

confidence and warmth, 

demonstrates a genuine 

love of people, and has inspired 

his congregations to 

grow in the faith, numbers 

and resources that promote 

God’s work in the world. 

His pastoral presence has 

endeared him to the parishes 

he has loved and 

served. 

“When our committee 

gathered to begin the 

discernment process, we 

prayed it would be Godled 

every step of the way,” 

said Bob Murley, Chairman 

of the The Church 

of the Holy Spirit Rector 

Search Committee. 

“When we reached out to 

leaders in the church we 

received many recommendations, 

but the one name 

Reverend N. Luke Back was named as the 12th rector 

of The Church of the Holy Spirit in Lake Forest. Photo 

Submitted 

we kept hearing time and 

again was Luke Back. We 

were told he is an exceptional 

priest but only God 

could persuade him and his 

family to leave Abilene, 

Texas, a place they love 

so much, to move to The 

Church of the Holy Spirit 

in Lake Forest. We did our 

best to encourage Luke 

and Meredith and the Lord 

took it from there.” 

Back comes to the 

church having served most 

recently as rector of The 

Church of the Heavenly 

Rest in Abilene, Texas, for 

more than seven years. He 

earned a B.A. in 1995 and 

M.Ed. in 1999 from the 

University of Oklahoma 

and his master of divinity 

at Virginia Theological 

Seminary in 2002. Following 

graduation from 

seminary, Back was canon, 

then priest- in-charge, 

at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 

Oklahoma City. 

Back is also immediate 

past president of the Consortium 

of Endowed Episcopal 

Parishes (CEEP), 

having been elected president 

twice by his peers. 

His work with the consortium, 

which consists of the 

300 largest endowed Episcopal 

parishes and affiliate 

institutions in the country, 

will help The Church of 

the Holy Spirit connect 

more broadly with the national 

Episcopal Church. 

Back, his wife, Meredith, 

and their three children 

are looking forward 

to the cultural offerings of 

Chicago, snow, excellent 

schools and meeting new 

friends. 

“Lake Forest promises 

to be much more than a 

‘new normal’ for our family. 

Meredith and I are 

already aware this North 

Shore community is a 

‘new wonderful’,” Back 

said. 

Back will celebrate his 

first services on Saturday, 

March 17 and Sunday, 

March 18.

Quick Bites 

Ringing in Pi Day the right way 

Staff Report 

March 14 is more than 

the eve of the Ides of 

March, the anniversary of 

Julius Caesar’s untimely 

demise. It’s 3/14 ... 3.14 ... 

Pi Day. 

Whether you think of Pi 

as a mathematical constant 

or the 1998 film by Darren 

Aronofsky, it’s worthy of 

celebration. I mean, who 

really needs an excuse to 

indulge in a slice of pie? 

To celebrate, editors 

from 22nd Century Media 

made like Special Agent 

Dale Cooper and got down 

with some slices of pie. 

Oh My Key lime pie — 

MLG Chicago, Lake Forest 

Indulging in dessert is 

always a good idea, especially 

when dining at MLG 

Chicago in Lake Forest. 

New to the menu at 

MLG Chicago, is the Oh 

My Key lime pie ($11), 

which is easily split between 

two people. The 

dessert is almost too pretty 

to touch, but once you dive 

in, you can’t stop. 

This Key lime pie stands 

out because it is made 

fresh everyday and is inspired 

by MLG Chicago’s 

partners at the Key West 

Key Lime Pie Co. 

The Oh My Key lime pie 

is a balance of sweet and 

tart with fresh Key limes, 

graham cracker crust, lime 

zest and Chantilly whipped 

cream topped with raspberries 

and blueberries. 

Executive Chef Pete 

Sbachula said they receive 

fresh limes from Key West 

daily, which makes their 

Key lime pie unique. 

MLG Chicago, 181 E. 

Laurel Ave., is open 11:30 

a.m.-9 p.m. Monday- 

Thursday, 11:30 a.m.- 

S’more pie ($23.95) at Three Tarts Bakery and Cafe

cracker crust and finished with a top coat of pristinely 

glazed fresh marshmallows. JACQUELINE GLOSNIAK/22ND

S’more pie — Three 

Tarts Bakery and Cafe, 

Northfield 

Tucked away on the east 

end of town, Three Tarts 

Bakery and Cafe offers locals 

a place to enjoy coffee 

and a homemade pastry and 

socialize in an mom-andpop-style 

establishment. 

Among Three Tarts’ 

many pastries are its pies, 

offered in fruit, nut, cream 

and custard varieties. 

One favorite is the 

s’more pie ($23.95), featuring 

a firm chocolate filling 

atop a graham cracker 

crust and finished with 

a top coat of pristinely 

glazed fresh marshmallows. 

Three Tarts can also 

use a regular pie crust or 

a chocolate cookie crust. 

Additionally, co-owner 

Kate Rooney said the 

crusts are made completely 

fresh in-house, using 

butter and shortening. 

Other pie flavors offered 

include Key lime, apple 

oat crumble and triple 

berry. 

Three Tarts Bakery and 

Cafe, 301 S. Happ Road, 

is open 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m. 

Monday-Friday and 7 

a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. The 

bakery is closed Sunday.

Hot toffee-apple and very 

berry dessert pizza — 

Marcello’s, Northbrook 

Few things can put the 

finishing touch on a meal 

quite like the satisfying 

taste of dessert. 

Although the options 

are vast, pie — a long-disputed 

king of the dessert 

world — remains atop the 

list for most diners. And 

with countless years of 

experience under its belt, 

few restaurants serve up 

MLG Chicago’s Oh My Key lime pie ($11) includes fresh Key limes, graham cracker 

crust, lime zest, Chantilly whipped cream and is topped with raspberries and 

blueberries. ALYSSA GROH/22ND CENTURY MEDIA 

pie quite like Northbrook’s 

Marcello’s. 

The Northbrook staple 

boasts classic, fan-favorite 

dishes throughout its 

menu, but when it comes 

to dessert, Marcello’s hot 

toffee-apple and very berry 

dessert pizza are both 

blue ribbon worthy. 

“Between both, I think 

the apple one might be 

slightly more popular, 

but guests love our berry 

one because of its great 

colors,” said Larry Goodman, 

general manager at 

Marcello’s. “It comes out 

of the oven hot and people 

just crave it.” 

According to Goodman, 

both dishes have been on 

the menu for more than 20 

years and are popular selections 

regardless of the 

occasion. 

After trying both, it’s 

clear why both these dishes 

are beloved by guests. 

Both dishes are fresh tasting, 

just the right amount 

of sweet, and the crust 

nicely finishes off both. 

This writer highly recommends 

both. 

Both dishes retail for 

$6.95. Marcello’s is open 

11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday- 

Thursday, 11 a.m.-10:30 

p.m. Friday, 4-10:30 p.m. 

on Saturday and 4-9:30 

p.m. Sunday. 

The Northbrook spot 

is located at 1911 Cherry 

Lane. For more information,

Mini ultimate chocolate pie 

— Foodstuffs, Glencoe 

You can never just have 

one small slice of pie. But, 

if you treat yourself to a 

mini-pie version, that’s not 

a problem, right? 

At Foodstuffs in downtown 

Glencoe, the bakery 

offers a variety of different 

desserts on a weekly basis. 

On the rotating menu, 

the mini ultimate chocolate 

pie frequently makes 

a return at 338 Park Ave., 

Glencoe. 

The pie, and all the other 

pasties for that matter, are 

made by a pastry chef at 

the Foodstuffs Evanston 

location. The pastries are 

trucked over on a daily basis 

to the Glencoe location. 

According to Foodstuffs 

manager Andreea Nemes, 

pies, especially the chocolate 

selection, are “really 

popular.” 

“Anything mini like 

these will go fast,” Nemes 

added. 

The mini ultimate 

chocolate pie comes in a 

small tin with large shaved 

chocolate pieces on top. 

The edges are graced with 

heavy whipped cream and 

the crust, a substance like 

crushed Oreos, provides a 

nice crunch and taste to the 

overall flavor. 

The pie’s inside, however, 

is where it’s at — the 

chocolatey, gooey, puddling-like 

filling that keeps 

you coming back for more. 

The mini pie runs for 

$6.99, which is less than 

a standard large pie, and it 

comes with the advantage 

of being guilt-free because 

of its size. 

Foodstuff’s has locations 

in Glencoe, Glenview, 

Lake Forest and Evanston. 

The Glencoe location is 

open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. 

Monday-Saturday and 10 

a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Mary Doheny 

Boys Water Polo 

Lake Forest 10, Highland 

Park 9 

Charlie Mickery scored 

a career-record four goals 

high school highlights 

The rest of the week in high school sports 

in the Scouts’ season 

opener Tuesday, March 

6 at Highland Park High 

School. Andrew Gherlein 

added two to LFHS’ final 

score. The game went into 

double overtime where 

Harmon Raft’s goal was 

the eventual decision maker. 

Mary Doheny is a senior 

goalkeeper, and four-year 

starter, at Lake Forest 

High School for the girls 

lacrosse team. 

How did you get 

started playing 

lacrosse? 

I moved from Libertyville 

to Lake Forest in 

fifth grade and all my 

friends were playing lacrosse. 

It was kind of a 

new sport and I had never 

heard of it. I just started to 

join the team in sixth grade 

in (Illinois Girls Lacrosse 

Association) and at the 

time I did not like running. 

When no one else volunteered 

to be the goalie, I 

decided I would be the 

goalie. 

What do you like 

about the sport? 

I always played soccer 

when I was younger but lacrosse 

was just different. It 

was a very different team 

and it was a lot of fun to 

travel around. I just fell in 

love with it. 

What is the most 

challenging part of the 

sport? 

I think, especially in my 

position, keeping my head 

in the game and not getting 

distraught or distracted if I 

let in a goal. I just have to 

move forward and focus 

on my next shot. 

What is a goal you 

have for this season? 

We want to make it further 

in the playoffs. As a 

team, we just want to enjoy 

our last year together, 

us five seniors have played 

together so long. A lot of 

us did travel (lacrosse) together 

in middle school. 

With this being the end of 

our years together it’s like 

a happy sad. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

Italy. Italy is on my 

bucket list. I think I would 

want to go to Venice or 

Florence or anywhere really. 

The Amalfi coast 

would probably be really 

nice too. 

Who is your favorite 

professional athlete? 

It was Corey Crawford 

on the Chicago Blackhawks 

but he isn’t playing 

right now. But, it’s still 

probably Corey Crawford 

just because he’s a goalie. 

We share some similarities 

in that. 

If you could have 

dinner with anyone 

living or dead, who 

would it be? 

The entire Eagles band. 

I love the Eagles. I really 

like music and I think it 

would be interesting to 

hear about how they all 

came to be but with Glenn 

Frey. 

Photo Submitted 

Do you play any 

other sports besides 

lacrosse? 

I play tennis and I’m 

also a huge runner. 

What is something you 

want to accomplish off 

your bucket list? 

I want to scuba dive in 

Australia off the Great 

Barrier Reef. 

What is something 

people don’t know 

about you? 

My lacrosse team knows 

this, but I really like to 

wear Crocs. I wear them 

to all our practices and I 

always wear them to lacrosse. 

I have a large collection.

Lacrosse 

Sport faces minor, unique changes with IHSA sanction 

Michal Dwojak 

Contributing Sports Editor 

The IHSA sanctioning 

of boys and girls lacrosse 

had been a decade in the 

making. 

When the IHSA announced 

in 2017 that lacrosse 

would become an 

official IHSA sport this 

spring, many expected 

sweeping changes coming 

to area teams. 

But that hasn’t been the 

case, surprisingly. 

Despite the few changes 

coaches and players will 

need to make this season, 

nearly everything will remain 

the same based on 

the respect lacrosse has 

earned from area athletic 

directors. 

It has been a slow build 

for the sport, and has taken 

some time for the IHSA to 

recognize it. 

“I think the state has always 

recognized the level 

of play,” said New Trier 

coach Pete Collins, who 

was a key leader to helping 

lacrosse become a 

sanctioned sport. “When 

it became an emerging 

sport, they realized how 

much it’s growing and we 

needed to set a minimum 

number of teams to have.” 

Local interest has grown 

over the last 20 years, 

and by 2017 lacrosse had 

achieved the appropriate 

numbers to become sanctioned. 

Those key numbers 

were achieved, partly, by 

the youth leagues that have 

been established over the 

last few years. 

“It comes from a youth 

level because the kids are 

playing it and parents are 

wondering why we don’t 

have it,” Collins said. 

“Years ago when I started, 

there were seven schools 

playing and now it grew 

into the teens, 20s, 30s and 

now over 60.” 

For most area coaches, 

the official sponsorship 

of lacrosse by the IHSA 

doesn’t change much, if 

anything, in how they will 

run their programs this 

spring. Many are ready 

to continue with business 

as usual, but that doesn’t 

mean they don’t appreciate 

the significance of the 

IHSA officially taking lacrosse 

seriously. 

Coaches have spent 

nearly a decade working 

with IHSA administrators 

on fulfilling the requirements 

for the sport to 

be officially recognized. 

All the teams in the state 

have run things as if they 

already were an IHSA 

sport including scheduling 

that still works the same, 

games are played with the 

same rules and the players 

follow the same policies. 

It just took time to get the 

numbers of necessary teams 

to become recognized. 

“The IHSA has been 

good to us,” Loyola Academy 

coach John Dwyer 

said. “Some of the coaches 

and I have been going 

down to Bloomington as 

(long) as four years ago 

and over the course of 

time, as the transition was 

unfolding, more teams 

were coming into the 

fold.” 

Seeding Issues 

So, what will change for 

area teams this season? 

For many schools and 

athletic directors, lacrosse 

was functioning as a sanctioned 

sport already. The 

main difference this season 

will be postseason 

seeding. 

“In the past we’ve had 

our coaches meeting at 

the end our year, seeding 

our playoffs,” Dwyer said. 

“This year’s playoff will 

look different but that’s 

not something we worry 

about because that’s something 

we can’t control.” 

Both boys and girls lacrosse 

leagues ran the 

playoff ordering by seeds 

instead of the traditional 

regional and sectional format 

the IHSA runs based 

on proximity. This means 

teams like Loyola Academy, 

Glenbrook South 

and New Trier could play 

each other much earlier 

than they have in the past 

instead of meeting in the 

semifinals of a state championship 

tournament. 

The change has been 

met with some pushback. 

“It’ll be interesting the 

first year,” said George 

Georacakis, Glenbrook 

North boys lacrosse coach. 

“But ultimately, every 

other [sport] has a regional 

and sectional seeding. 

Once we get through the 

first time, it’ll be good.” 

Coaches ultimately 

know that if they want to 

be the best, they’ll have 

to beat the best, no matter 

when they play each other. 

The new sectional format 

could give other teams a 

better run at a state title in 

the future. 

“The seeding in the sectionals 

means a lot to a lot 

of teams,” said Marc Thiergart, 

Lake Forest boys lacrosse 

coach. “If you’re 

in a sectional with two or 

three tough teams it’s going 

to be hard to win your first 

couple playoff games.” 

Financial Consistency 

A major concern for a 

sport being officially sanctioned 

is the financing. 

Some schools struggle 

with adjusting budgets to 

fit that new sport in, especially 

with supplies and 

equipment costs that can 

accompany a new sport. 

But, lacrosse is different. 

Financing for area schools, 

in large part, will remain 

the same since most athletic 

departments have already 

treated lacrosse as if 

it were an IHSA sport 

“The finances haven’t 

changed, but we’ve been 

mirroring IHSA sports,” 

Glenbrook South boys lacrosse 

coach Will Jeffery 

said. “Our athletic director 

has been in charge of the 

program. Coaches are paid 

by the district, boosters 

helps with some things.” 

Most players are required 

to buy their own 

equipment, such as sticks, 

shoulder pads and gloves. 

The only piece of equipment 

that the school provides 

is helmets for the 

boys teams. The booster 

programs, run by parents, 

will remain in place for 

most schools. 

“That does help, lacrosse 

is not a cheap sport to play 

or keep going,” said Ryan 

Werhane, Highland Park 

boys lacrosse coach and 

former player. “We are 

continuing to have our parents 

have fundraisers.” 

Despite the lack of 

changes in the short-term, 

coaches are looking forward 

to the lasting impact 

sanctioning could have 

on the sports health in 

the state, especially Central 

and Southern Illinois. 

With the growth in popularity, 

coaches hope the 

change not only affects the 

growth of the sport at the 

high school level but at the 

youth level as well. 

“We don’t have the 

numbers at the youth level 

that you would see with a 

soccer or softball,” Glenbrook 

South girls lacrosse 

coach Annie Lesch said, “I 

hope by going IHSA it will 

have a trickle effect on the 

girls at the youth level.” 

It took almost a decade 

for the IHSA and lacrosse 

to come together, so it 

won’t be easy for the sport 

to continue to grow in 

the state. Different area 

schools are working to 

establish youth programs 

so athletes aren’t learning 

how to play the sport for 

the first time when they 

try out for a lacrosse team. 

The youth level will be 

critical for the growth of a 

sport still seen as emerging 

in the Midwest. 

Area teams seem to be 

on the right track. 

“It just goes to show 

you that hard work pays 

off,” Glenbrook North 

girls lacrosse coach Tom 

Rosenbaum said. “It’s a 

pretty awesome thing to be 

respected and shows the 

girls that if you do the right 

thing the right way, this is 

how you’re treated. I’m 

excited about this year; it’s 

a long time coming.”

Veteran Scouts looking to accomplish big things in 2018 

Brittany Kapa 

Sports Editor 

When Scouts’ coach 

Marc Thiergart played lacrosse 

in high school there 

were only seven team, total. 

The Glenbrook North 

graduate has seen the 

growth of the sport, especially 

at Lake Forest High 

School, over the last several 

years. Now in his fourth 

season with the team, 

Thiergart has seen it grow 

even more. 

More than 20 years after 

Thiergart, 43, graduated 

from GBN, lacrosse 

finally had enough teams 

to be included as an official 

sport in the Illinois High 

School Association. Assistant 

coach Justin Smith,

program, looks drastically 

different from what Thiergart 

and Smith knew when 

they were in high school. 

Thiergart is excited for this 

new season to start and the 

team is returning some familiar 

names and faces. 

“We’re really excited 

about this season coming 

up,” he said. “We returned 

22 of the 30 guys on our 

team last year. We were 

really young last year and 

overachieved.” 

Last season, the Scouts 

finished in the final four of 

the Illinois High School Lacrosse 

Association’s playoffs 

but with the new IHSA 

sanction, Thiergart is hoping 

his team will go farther 

this season. The format of 

the playoffs is perhaps one 

of the biggest differences 

this season, Thiergart said. 

“The seeding in the sectionals 

means a lot to a lot 

of teams,” he said. “In the 

past, if you’re in a sectional 

with two or three tough 

teams it was going to be 

hard to win your first couple 

playoff games.” 

Now being in the IHSA, 

there is a little more breathing 

room for everyone. 

Jack Van Hyfte, Mead 

Payne, Chris Cavalaris, 

Jack Mislinski and Geroge 

Schoettle are just a few of 

the many talented lacrosse 

players that will be contributors 

this season. With 

many of them being twosport

can get up and down the 

pool,” Mass said. “But 

we’ve worked a lot on 

speed and being able to 

take advantage of those 

chances.” 

“We have a lot of speed 

but I think it’s ultimately 

our drive to want to succeed 

that helped us with 

those breakaways,” Colletti 

said. “We’re working 

well together as a team 

and there’s already been 

a lot of positive feedback. 

If I’m telling them something, 

they really take it to 

heart and it’s carried over 

into how they play.” 

The Giants scored 

their only goal when Lillian 

Fleisher scored with 

seven seconds left in the 

first quarter. But Slover 

put one in to beat the first 

quarter buzzer. Lake Forest 

increased the advantage 

to 12-1 at the half 

with Mass and Flynn Mc- 

Clellan scoring twice in 

the quarter. Slover had 

four goals while Malnati 

had three and McClellan 

and Catherine Terkildsen 

each had two. 

Colletti and the Scouts 

want to continue to progress 

in their first season 

together. And so far, the 

team has responded well 

to her. 

“I think we’ve been really 

receptive listening to 

her. She’s helped us a lot 

and we’ve definitely seen 

an improvement,” Mass 

said. “We’re clicking and 

everyone seems to be on 

the same page. We’re focusing 

on communication 

and especially on being a 

better passing team and 

making sure we get people 

involved.”

“I think what we want 

to do is be able to consistently 

communicate as 

a team as well as being 

able to have good drives 

that gives ourselves good 

looks,” Colletti said. 

“We’re going to be working 

on a lot of different 

drills that can help us improve 

in certain phases. 

We’re not always going 

to have this type of success 

but we want to strive 

to have success and play 

with a positive attitude 

throughout the season.” 

Although Highland 

Park is a young team that 

will be trying to learn 

throughout the season, 

they do have one leader 

they know they will consistently 

be able to rely 

on.
