Highland Park City Council
City Council votes down Green Bay Road speed limit reduction
Margaret Tazioli
Freelance Reporter
Cars will continue to
legally drive 35 mph on
Green Bay Road after this
week’s City Council decision
to keep the speed limit
the same.
All present members
voted no at the Monday,
March 12 meeting. Councilwoman
Michelle Holleman
and Mayor Nancy
Rotering were not present.
This issue came to
light when Matthew
Vanderkooy, who moved
to the area around Green
Bay Road in June 2017,
felt people were driving too
fast for comfort, The Landmark
reported in January.
He immediately got to
work trying to make the
neighborhood safer for his
two children under the age
of five.
Vanderkooy brought the
request to lower the speed
limit on Green Bay Road
to the City in August 2017
and the traffic management
committee advised him to
start a petition in order to
show some support among
the residents on that section
of the road.
The functional street
classification map shows
Green Bay Road is an arterial
route and the section up
for debate is the section between
Glencoe Ave all the
way to County Line Road
— around 1.7 miles long.
Vanderkooy started a petition.
He knocked on every
door — sometimes two or
three times — along that
stretch of Green Bay Road.
Of the 140-something
homes, Vanderkooy spoke
with 104 of the homeowners.
Then, he came back to
the transportation management
committee in January
to present his petition. At
that time, 102 people had
signed the petition to decrease
the speed limit.
Following the committee
meeting, the Public Works
Department received
around 30 emails opposing
the speed reduction. City
council members say they
have received dozens of
emails as wel l— perhaps
even more emails than
about many of the other issues,
Councilman Daniel
Kaufman said.
“It’s just creating a safer
community is what I want
to do,” Vanderkooy said
after another resident left
some scathing personal
remarks about him at the
podium. “I’m not trying to
ruffle any feathers or anything
like that. I think the
sidewalks that are recent on
the West Side of Green Bay
Road can get very close to
the road sometimes.
And for biker safety — I
think it’s very important to
have the speed at 30 mph.”
In the February 2018
speed study the Highland
Park Police Department
conducted, 85 percent of
cars traveling on this section
of the road were going
39 mph or slower.
“Reviewing the crash
data, speed data, and other
available data led the staff
to believe lowering the
speed limit will not significantly
affect the mobility
or safety on this section
of Green Bay Road,”
Joe Pasquesi of the public
works department said.
For a change that would
mean the difference of
about half a minute of driving
time on Green Bay
Road, Vanderkooy invested
hours, but he did so through
all the proper channels. Although
the City Council
voted down his request,
they thanked him for his
service-driven mindset.
“I am not in favor of
[the speed limit reduction]
but I hope that doesn’t discourage
you from being
a contributing member of
our community and from
bringing ideas that are important
to you to the community,”
councilman Adam
Stohlberg said.
Also being thanked for
his service, Joe Pasquesi’s
rumored retirement was
announced officially at the
meeting. Council members
and community members
alike gave a standing ovation
for “Mr. Highland
Park.”
As the engineer for the
public works department
and the staff liaison to the
transportation commission.
Pasquesi has been instrumental
to the City for decades.
“I want to thank him
publicly,” Public Works
Director Ramesh Kanapareddy
said, “because I
know how much Joe meant
to everybody and he could
pretty much teach a class
on public service and we’ll
all miss him.”

Around 800 students walk out at HPHS
Xavier Ward, Editor
Juniors Juliana Charlebois-Berg (left) and Sophie
McCarty write letters to lawmakers and survivors.
As Highland Park High
School was ready to begin
the next class period, some
students were marching toward
Port Clinton Square.
March 14 was declared
National Walkout Day,
exactly a month after the
shooting in Parkland, Fla.
where 17 people were
murdered by a gunman.
Chants of “This is what
democracy looks like”
and “End gun violence”
could be heard throughout
downtown as roughly
800 students flooded the
area around Port Clinton
Square brandishing handmade
signs condemning
the Parkland shooting and
national inaction on gun
control.
“The school is not going
to stand for this,” said Katy
McGregor, a senior and
one of the organizers of
Highland Park’s walkout.
“We’re the next generation
coming in and we’re going
to stop gun violence.”
While the school’s campus
was closed to visitors
and media, students
marched east from campus
on Vine Avenue, south on
St. Johns Avenue and west
on Central Avenue to the
square.
McGregor said she
wants this to be the generation
that not only ends
gun violence in schools,
but over all.
Demonstrators were
asked not just to chant, but
write letters to lawmakers
and to the survivors.
Writing utensils and paper
were handed out and letters
were collected at the
end of the rally.
Going forward, Mc-
Gregor wants to see three
things happen: age for gun
sales increased, more thorough
background checks
and regulation of private
gun sales.
McGregor said it is “ridiculous”
how easy it is to
get a gun.
“I don’t necessarily
think no one should have
[guns], I think that good
people should have them,”
McGregor said.
McGregor said she
thinks local officials have
done a good job implementing
gun control laws,
commending the City’s
ban of assault weapons in
2015.
Gun laws in Illinois,
however, are far more lax
than in Highland Park.
According to the Giffords
Law Center, Illinois
does require background
checks and Firearms Owner
Identification Cards.
That said, the state does
not require the licensure or
regulation of gun dealers,
require the registration of
all firearms or impose restrictions
on the purchase
of multiple firearms.
McGregor organized the
walkout with Rebeca Banda
Frey, also a senior.
“When I first heard about
this most recent shooting,
the Parkland shooting, it
kind of hit me the hardest,”
Banda Frey said.
While other school
shootings were tragic,
Parkland made Banda Frey
want to mobilize.
“I decided this is going
to be the one where we’re
going to make a change,”
she said.
Banda Frey decided to
have attendees write letters
to lawmakers and the
survivors of the shooting.
She and McGregor will
sort through them and decide
what letters go where.
“I believe that using our
voices for something better
than just a march was
going to be more beneficial,”
Banda Frey said.
While the crowd was
large, loud and mobile,
Police Chief Lou Jogmen
said everyone remained
respectful and there were
Around 250 students march down St. Johns Avenue March 14 to protest school
shootings and gun violence. Photos by xavier ward/22nd century media

and writing letters to survivors of the Parkland shooting and lawmakers.
no issues.
“This is the first time
I’ve seen something like
this,” Jogmen said. He
commended students on
remaining respectful, and
noted he was proud of how
the police department conducted
safety measures.
Police escorted the students
on bikes and stood
at each intersection the
marchers would cross.
Nicholas Maldonado, a
junior, said, “As much as
this is a topic of gun safety
and gun control, it’s also a
topic of bullying and mental
illness in schools. ”
Maldonado said he
would like to see more
unity and togetherness in
schools.
“We want to come together
to have all schools
in America and around our
community be safe somewhere
for our kids to feel
safe,” he said.
Arden Yazici, also a junior
attending the march
said, “They’re doing an
OK job, it’s a start, but
I feel like we need to do
more and we need to involve
the people that are in
danger, our students.”
District 112 students
participated in the walkout,
too. The district reported
around 300 students
walked out.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN
Residents, community
leaders, politicians unite
against rail expansion
Don’t turn Glenview’s
neighborhoods into a parking
lot for freight trains.
That was the message
that came across loud and
clear during the public
forum held in Glenbrook
South’s Watson Auditorium
on March 12, which
drew more than 1,000
North Shore residents.
The forum called by the
Village of Glenview was
a response to Amtrak’s
proposal to the Federal
Railroad Administration
to add three daily round
trips to the Hiawatha service
between Chicago and
Milwaukee, increasing
the number of its passenger
trains passing through
Glenview from 14 to 20.
This would also entail
building a two-mile holding
track in West Glenview
to accommodate the Canadian
Pacific and Union
Pacific freight trains that
share the rail line with Metra,
as well as Amtrak’s Hiawatha
and Empire Builder

cash from a register

the 500 block of Lockard
trains. The Glenview tracks
would run north from West
Lake Avenue to Willow
Road, and opponents assert
that they would have a negative
impact on traffic, the
environment and the community
at large.
As a consequence, there
would be increased congestion
on West Lake Avenue,
producing delays and,
at times, blocking traffic
to the hospital and high
school. The holding tracks
alongside the existing
tracks also would necessitate
removing the landscape
buffer and replacing
the greenery with a 20-foot
retaining wall.
“It is clear that this is
one of the largest challenges
Glenview has faced in
the last decade,” said Village
President Jim Patterson.
“We need your voice
and you need to get others
involved.”

nationwide for National
School Walkout protest
In a showing of solidarity
with millions of students
nationwide protesting
gun violence exactly
one month after the Marjory
Stoneman Douglas
High School shooting in
Parkland, Fla., dozens of
students and staff members
from North Shore Country
Day School paraded from
behind the classroom walls
to the front of the Winnetka
campus March 14 to
participate in the National
School Walkout event.
At 10 a.m., Middle and
Upper School students
marched in silence to the
east end of campus on
Green Bay Road, hoisting
signs above their heads
displaying messages including
“Stop killing
our generation,” “Never
again,” “Am I next” and
“Enough.”
Glencoe resident Jed
Graboys, a junior who
helped spearhead the walkout
with the Community
Service Club, said he and
several students had been
planning for the school to
participate in a walkout
immediately after the national
movement day was
announced a few weeks
ago. He said in the days
leading up to the walkout,
students held postermaking

the protest was necessary.
“Every day, policymakers
make decisions that
they think are the best for
our country, and we as
children, our generation,
is unheard,” Graboys said.
“But now, it’s our time to
speak. Now, it’s our time
to demand change, demand
reform and what we
want, and we have to take
that opportunity.”

Madame Zuzu’s closes its doors
Staff Report
Madame Zuzu’s tea shop
won’t provide Highland
Parkers with artisanal teas,
coffee and vegan pastries
anymore, at least not until
it finds a new location.
According to the owner
William Patrick Corgan’s
Instagram account, the tea
shop had to close Monday,
March 19, citing tenancy
issues.
Corgan wrote in the post
that he is searching for a
new location, and wishes to
remain in Highland Park if
possible.
“Unfortunately, Highland
Park doesn’t have a
lot of ideal spots at this
time, which is part of the
holdup. So again, thanks
again to all our patrons.
You have my gratitude for
your support,” he wrote in
the post. “There will be
free tea that day for everyone
who comes by, and
special last-day sales. (And
as far as [Madame Zuzu’s]
2.0 goes, we hope to open
a new location very soon,
remaining in Highland
Park if possible).”

From Page 6
Now, thanks to the work
of Northbrook native and
GBN graduate Jesse Rogers,
fans of the 64-yearold,
three-time manager of
the year, will get an inside
look at the crucial role
Maddon played in breaking
the Cubs’ 108-year
World Series drought.
Rogers, with the help of
MLB.com’s Bill Chastain,
recently released “Try Not
to Suck: The Exceptional,
Extraordinary Baseball
Life of Joe Maddon,” a
book chronicling Maddon’s
life in baseball.
“It’s a biographical look
at the career of Joe Maddon
and how he came to
who he is as a manger,”
Rogers said. “The things
he’s learned along the way,
the things that make him
unique the things that have
made him a manager that’s
on the track to the hall of
fame. It’s a look at what
makes Maddon tick.”
And to find out just what
exactly does make Maddon
tick, Rogers devoted
countless hours of preparation,
work and research
during the Cubs’ 2017
spring training season.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER
National Walkout Day
sparks support from Safe
Haven students
#RisetoSaveLives
Students from Safe Haven
School in Lake Bluff
did just that in conjunction
with the country-wide
National School Walkout
Day.
The above hashtag represented
the students right
to peacefully join the National
School Walkout
movement. Just one month
after a school shooting in
Parkland, Fla., at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High
School took the lives of
17 teenagers, schools and
teenagers around the country
walked out at 10 a.m.
to advocate for stricter gun
laws. All but nine students
from Safe Haven School
participated in the walkout
March 14.
Safe Haven School, located
at 906 Muir Ave., is
a therapeutic day school
home to students in grades
fifth through twelfth that
face emotional disturbances,
learning disabilities,
autism and other health
impairments, according to
Safe Haven’s website.
A group of roughly 35
students, teachers, parents
and school officials walked
from the school to the corner
of Waukegan Road and
Route 176th in Lake Bluff
and back, ending with two
speeches about the importance
of the event.
With signs depicting
important messages like,
“It’s time. Demand a plan
to end gun violence,” and
“Protect kids, not guns,”
the group heard honks
during their walk from
passing drivers in support
of their stance and the
National School Walkout
movement.
“It’s a gun issue, not a
mental health issue,” said
Sheila Deal, director of
education services at the
school.
After the shooting in
Florida, the students at
Safe Haven reacted by
forming an advocate group
and having an open conversation
on stricter gun
laws and how they could
support an agenda that resulted
in students feeling
safer at school.

Highwood is known for
its beautiful flower and
vegetable gardens.
Aldo Piacenza, who
lived on Everts Place, had
a special garden that not
only attracted birds, but
was a special showcase
in the neighborhood. He
is especially remembered
as a business owner, artist
and maker of unique birdhouses.
He and his wife, Rosa,
operated a grocery at the
corner of Green Bay Road
and Highwood Avenue
called Aldo’s Corner. He
became an artist at the age
of 65 and at the age of 84
was honored with a showing
of over 200 paintings
and cathedral birdhouses
at the Hyde Park Art Institute
in 1970.
Piacenza’s painting of
the Basilica of the National
Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception in Washington
D. C. was donated
to the Highwood Public
Library. The birdhouses
that decorated his yard
have become local collector’s
items. Piacenza remained
a resident until his
death in 1976.

From the Editor
Take the time to appreciate local art
Xavier Ward
xavier@hplandmark.com
This is somewhat
of a callback to a
previous editorial,
calling on readers to support
the local arts.
However, in this case,
there’s a specific exhibit I
have in mind.
The Landmark is not in
the business of promotion,
but we had the
chance to tour The Art
Center Highland Park’s
newest exhibit, “Journey
to America: How Stories
of Immigration Shape our
Heritage and Culture,”
and it left us with much
to think about.
Modern art is often
written off as pointless,
devoid of talent and
overly pretentious. This
mode of thinking is narrow
and robs one of the
opportunity to experience
phenomenal art.
The Landmark spoke
with the curator of the
exhibit, Caren Helene
Rudman, who discussed
what The Art Center was
looking for in pieces
submitted.
“We decided to do this
exhibit on contemporary
Native American art and
then we thought, let’s
do it on immigration
also,” Rudman told The
Landmark at the exhibit’s
opening.
Rudman discussed
pieces by both Native
Americans and immigrants,
and how those
pieces are important to
not only the artists, but
those communities of
people.
“While many exhibits
of this nature perpetuate
stereotypes of Native
American and immigrant
livelihoods, ‘Journey to
America’ seeks to provide
a space where the art can
exist on its own in a modern
setting,” The Landmark
reported March 22.
“It’s really immigration
that leads to migration.
And migration that
leads to assimilation or
alienation. And so this
exhibit is held side by
side,” Rudman said. “And
what I found in most of
the work is the stories are
similar,” Rudman told
The Landmark.
“So, from the suitcases
that we filled with the
things that we brought
here when we came or the
things we took with us as
we move—they are the
objects that tell the story
of who we are as a culture,”
she said. “A furry
moccasin and a beaded
stapler, it’s all a part of
this diverse American
story.”
Often, art depicting
marginalized groups
Don’t just
list your
real estate
property...
go figure
35
Sell It!
With a Classified Ad
is exploitative. Take
Paul Gauguin’s work
from French Polynesia.
Specifically, art depicting
Native Americans
often shows the “noble
savage,” a trope coined
in the 19th century that
romanticizes a primitive
lifestyle, all the while
failing to acknowledge
the dark history between
all Native American
tribes and the United
States’ government.
That shouldn’t give
readers the idea that this
is an entirely politically
motivated collection of
art. At the end of the
day, it’s a collection of
art made by a group of
talented individuals.
However, it is paramount
to recognize the
importance of allowing
these artists a space to
exercise their voices in a
modern manner.
Classical art has value,
there’s no doubt about it.
However, only allowing
this kind of art — art
created by marginalized
groups — to remain in
classical collections is a
mistake.
Without movements
such as post-modernism,
we’d all still be looking a
bowls of fruit, landscapes
and portraits.
So, if you’re averse
to modern art, consider
opening up to it.
If you do, “Journey to
America,” is a good place
to start.

‘Journey to America’
seeks modern dialogue
“ABSOLUTELY
—Kenn Wells, former lead dancer of the English National Ballet
IN THE WORLD.”
The Art Center
exhibit looks at
modern native,
immigrant culture
Margaret Tazioli
Freelance Reporter
Mary Anne Cly never
went to school and only
spoke her native Navajo
tongue, never learning
English. She lived without
electricity or running
water and liked it that way
— the way the Navajo
used to live.
The photos Howard Tatar
took when he visited
Monument Valley tell the
story of people who love
the land — and were the
first to plant roots in it
many centuries ago. The
deeply grooved faces and
twisted fingers of people
who don’t set their bones
when they break tell a
story of our country’s past
Tatar wanted to share.
The Art Center of
Highland Park’s running
exhibit, “Journey to
America: How Stories of
Immigration Shape our
Heritage and Culture,” is
the first show where Tatar
has ever displayed a portrait
he took of Navajo elder
Mary Anne Cly.
The Art Center put out
a call for Native American
artwork expressing heritage
and immigrant artwork
expressing personal
stories of immigration.
Together, the blended
exhibitions create unique
dialogue about the United
States’ heritage and future,
and portray an America

diverse journeys.
“We decided to do this
exhibit on contemporary
native American art and
then we thought, let’s do
it on immigration also,”
said Caren Helene Rudman,
the exhibit’s curator.
“It’s really immigration
that leads to migration.
And migration that leads
to assimilation or alienation.
And so, this exhibit
is held side by side,” Rudman
said. “And, what I
found in most of the work
is the stories are similar.”
The exhibit opened
March 9.
Guest juror Montserrat
Alsina was born in Venezuela
and found her way
to America on foot. Now
a multidisciplinary artist,
teacher and cultural
worker, Alsina recounted
her story as she unpacked
a bag of items from her
birthplace.
Alsina pulled cusps of
wooden beads around her
ankles and danced with a
maraca-like instrument as
she recited her poetry. She
said she performs so that,
“We can come together
with hope, with hope,
with hope.”
The show exhibited
work from more than thirty
artists.
Local Highland Park
artist Margoth Moreno’s
painting of a skull surrounded
by roots was selected
for the exhibit —
her first painting to ever
be exhibited. Moreno said
she would paint a tree and
then leave for a month before
coming back to paint
another tree. The painting
unfolded slowly just like
that — representing death
and new life all in the
same brush strokes.
“So, from the suitcases
that we filled with the
things that we brought
here when we came or
the things we took with
us as we move — they
are the objects that tell the
story of who we are as a
culture,” Rudman said.
“A furry moccasin and a
beaded stapler — it’s all a
part of this diverse American
story.”
The exhibit will run
through April 6.

Updated Max’s Deli menu boasts fresh, healthy options
Megan Bernard
Contributing Editor
Max’s Deli has been a
long-standing establishment
in the North Shore
for more than 25 years.
To be successful for more
years to come, its owner is
revamping the menu with
more health-conscious
and fresh dishes for the
future.
Joey Morelli, a trained
chef, and his brother
opened up Joey’s Brickhouse
in Chicago in 2004.
After a seven-year run,
they were ready to take
over their grandfather
Bernie Katz’s business,
Max’s Deli at 191 Skokie
Valley Road in Highland
Park.
At first, like the saying
goes, if it wasn’t broke,
they didn’t fix it — so
nothing changed menuwise
at the restaurant.
They did, however, eventually
add a full-service
bakery, so Max’s produces
cupcakes, cookies,
pies, bagels, bailies,
among other baked goods,
just behind the counter
made fresh for customers.
When 22nd Century
Media visited last in 2015,
the deli owners said they
were open to new ideas
and responsive to community
preferences. For
example, we reported that
Max’s rolled out a blueberry
cream cheese that
they said was perfectly
delicious, but the community
didn’t take to it. Later,
the cooks concocted
a jalapeno cream cheese
and it was then one of the
top sellers.
Now, Morelli is ready to
make some more changes
to better the restaurant and
keep up with the times.
Morelli inspires to
turn his “old-school Jewish
deli” into a “fun and

Glosniak/22nd Century Media
hip” eatery to welcome a
younger crowd and more
families, slightly changing
the dynamic from the
older clientele.
“It’s been a process.
There is nothing fun and
hip about Max’s Deli because
it’s been here for
more than 25 years, but to
evolve to the next level,
we are going to have to reinvent
ourselves or we’ll
die,” Morelli said.
The reinvention began
about eight months
ago, Morelli said, when
he switched over the restaurant’s
chicken fingers
on its children’s menu
by trading the “mystery
meat” with tenders from
Harrison’s Chicken, coating
them in extra fine flour
and frying them in clean
canola oil.
“But the kids wanted
the same chicken because
they were so used to it so
I had some backlash,” he
said. “I hesitated and got
scared. A couple months
later, I talked to enough
customers and just said
‘Screw it. If someone
wants to get mad at me for
this then they will have to
just be mad.’”
The revamping spread
to other parts of the deli’s
menu, including the mac
’n’ cheese, which previously
was shipped to the
store with a pre-made
cheese pouch. Now, Morelli
makes the dish homemade
with his own cheese
sauce (quality American
cheese, milk and butter)
and boiled noodles then
melts it all together.
Other new items include:
chicken and waffles,
an egg-in-the-hole
bagel, a turkey burger
made from the scraps of
turkey they roast in-house
and a veggie burger made
with 12 different vegetables.
“Our burgers are no
longer brown discs of
something,” Morelli said.
“They are made fresh in
our kitchen with fresh
ingredients. They are on
homemade kaiser rolls,
too, that we bake right
here.”
There are now also
gluten-free options, like
bagels, wraps and matzo
crackers. And, there’s
a new crowd-pleaser:
make-your-own omelets.
When 22nd Century
Media visited again last
week, we sampled some
of Max’s new dishes and
were pleasantly surprised.
The fresh ingredients
stood out and provided
flavor to what could be a
bland dish elsewhere.
We started with the eggin-the-hole
bagel, which
was served sunny-side
up, and a sesame bagel
with lox and chive cream
cheese. The portions were
generous and the bagels
and trimmings were extremely
fresh.
The mac ‘n’ cheese
was next and instantly
became one of our favorites.
While there are
so many varieties of this
dish, Max’s nailed it with
its homemade take with
the creamy, homemade
cheese sauce you’d have
as a side at Thanksgiving.
Another cherished dish
was the grilled cheese
and tomato basil soup,
which replaced canned
Campbell’s tomato soup
in Max’s kitchen, Morelli
said. Any consumer
would be able to tell the
sandwich and soup was
thoughtfully prepared and
made in-house that day.
We also tried the “controversial”
chicken tenders
and fries, and we
preferred them with the
current fresh, white meat
instead of previous “the
sponge meat,” as Morelli
described it.
Looking forward, along
with the reinvention, Morelli
plans to host a milkshake
bar in the summer
for families and children.
The deli’s ice cream is
supplied by Homer’s Ice
Cream in Wilmette.
“It used to be chemically-enhanced
ice cream,”
Morelli said. “Now we get
natural, local ice cream
from Homer’s and I believe
that’s the future of
this place.
“It’s a battle I still
haven’t figured out. For
me, it’s all about a healthy
and homemade menu so I
hope it works.”
Mac ‘n’ cheese at Max’s Deli is a classic homemade
serving of elbow macaroni noodles in a warm and
gooey homemade American cheese sauce.
Chicken tenders at the restaurant are now made with
fresh, all-white meat instead of frozen, GMO chicken
products.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with T.J. Gimbel
T.J. Gimbel is a senior at Highland Park
High School and is a pitcher on the
baseball team.
How did you get started playing
baseball?
I started with T-ball. My parents signed
me up and I went through T-ball, coach
pitch and then house league and when I
started playing travel I just loved it my entire
life. I always wanted to keep playing
and getting better.
What is your favorite part of the
sport?
I love the competitiveness of it. It’s
very simple. You throw the ball, you hit
the ball and you run. You obviously have
to be skilled about it and I love the team
aspect of it. Everyone has to play a role.
What is the most challenging part
of baseball?
I think it’s failure. If you look at baseball,
you fail more than you succeed. If you’re
a hitter and you hit .300 you fail seven out
of 10 times, but that’s a good percentage.
What is a goal of yours for the
season?
I just want to help my team in anyway
that I can. I want to go out there when it’s
my turn to pitch and compete and throw
strikes and give my team the best chance
to win.
What was a memorable moment
you’ve had with this team?
The best moment this season was our
last game against Hersey. We went out
and played Palatine and we couldn’t really
get hits and struggled to get the bats
going. And yet here we rebounded and
came out and scored three runs in the first
inning. That gave me a lot to work with
on the mound.
What has Coach Jason Newburger
Photo Submitted
brought to the team this season?
I really like the competitive aspect that
he brings to our practices. Obviously,
having him on the staff last year most of
us were familiar with him this year. He
puts us in a lot of game-like situations in
practice.
What is your favorite subject in
school?
I would say Econ because I want to
learn how the economy plays into the
business world. I like politics a lot, so
I want to see how politicians form their
policies based off of economics.
What is your favorite food?
Probably a cheeseburger from Charlie
Beinlich’s in Northbrook.
Who is your favorite professional
athlete?
Yasiel Puig, he plays on the (Los Angeles)
Dodgers. He came into the league a
couple of years ago; he’s an international
player. I just love the energy he plays
with.
If you could travel anywhere in the
world, where would you go?
Australia. It just seems cool and I never
hear about people going to Australia. I’m
always looking for new adventures.
Interview with Sports Editor Brittany Kapa

Girls basketball Player of the Year
Loyola’s Martinez earns award after historic show
Michael Wojtychiw
Contributing Sports Editor
For most basketball
teams, the point guard
is another coach on the
court.
They’re the eyes and
ears of what’s happening
on the hardwood.
Loyola Academy’s
point guard, Julia Martinez,
was that and more for
the Ramblers this season.
Thanks to her efforts, the
Loyola star was named
the inaugural 22nd Century
Media girls basketball
Player of the Year.
From a young age the
junior knew she wanted to
play basketball and it was
all thanks to family.
“I’ve kind of played
basketball my whole life,
but probably started when
I was around kindergarten,”
she said. “I have two
older sisters who played,
and both my parents were
coaches. Ever since I was
younger, I always knew I
wanted to play basketball
and would play against
the older kids.”
The 5-foot-10 junior
from the North Side of
Chicago averaged 9.9
points per game, 7.3 rebounds
per game, 6.7 assists
per game and 2.8
steals a contest, en route
to leading her team to a regional
title and a sectionaltitle
game appearance.
She came to Loyola and
earned a spot on the varsity
team right away, something
not easy to do at a
school like Loyola.
But that didn’t faze
Martinez.
“I feel like when I was
younger, I was so confident
in my game, and I
love the game so much,”
she said. “I came in doing
what I normally do and
actually wasn’t that nervous
when coach (Jeremy)
Schoenecker said my
name for the first game
my freshman year.”
Point guards are usually
one of two kinds, ones that
are a true point guard, and
pass the ball to their teammates
before anything
else, or a scoring point
guard who isn’t afraid to
put up shot after shot.
“I’d probably say I’m a
pass-first mentality point
guard,” Martinez said.
“I look to find my teammates,
looking up court
to see who’s open, giving
my teammates the ball.”
Colleges have taken
notice of Martinez doing
her job and she’s racked
up 12 scholarship offers
from Division I schools.
Martinez announced her
commitment to Saint Louis
University on Friday,
March 16.
But before she gets
ready to head off to college,
she has one year to
help the Ramblers continue
to move further into
the playoffs, something
they’ve done three consecutive
seasons now.
The team made it to the
sectional final this year,
after losing in the sectional
semifinal last season
and the regional final the
two years prior.
Loyola has had a lot of
success during her tenure,
witnessed by Schoenecker
picking up his 200th career
victory this season
and his team winning at
least 20 games in a season
for the eighth time in his
10 years at the helm.
“During practice, we
work on a lot of different
aspects, we start off with
a ton of shooting, every
single spot on the floor,”
Martinez said. “We work
on our defense, then our
offense.”
During the first half of
Loyola’s Jan. 30 contest
against De La Salle, Martinez
broke the school’s
career assist record, previously
set by Laura Sobieszczyk’s
in 1999 who
had 507. Martinez now
has over 540 career assists
with a year to go.
“I obviously have to
give my teammates a lot
of credit because they’re

season. 22nd Century
Media File photo
the ones putting the ball
in the basket,” she said.
“It means a lot, it’s pretty
exciting.”
Boys basketball Player of the Year
Cunningham uses growth to achieve career dreams
Michael Wojtychiw
Contributing Sports Editor
For athletes, the hope
is to improve as they get
older, with more experience
and better skills en
route to hopefully earn an
opportunity to play at the
next level, collegiately.
That was the route that
Loyola senior Kevin Cunningham
took during his
four years at Loyola, one
that saw him finish his
Rambler career as 22nd
Century Media’s inaugural
boys basketball Player
of the Year.
Cunningham said he
feels that every season has
been one he’s grown in.
“Freshman year was
tough for me because I
was hurt and didn’t play
the whole year,” he said.
“Sophomore year I got
hurt again and missed a
couple games but since
then I’ve just improved
my whole game. I don’t
think there’s a part of my
game that’s gotten worse
or stayed the same. I think
I got stronger, more aggressive
and became an
all-around better player.”
After having players
like Ramar Evans
and Julian DeGuzman
as last year’s go-to players,
Cunningham’s role
changed this year as a
senior. He moved over to
the point guard position
and became the squad’s
Loyola’s Kevin Cunningham evades a steal attempt
by Notre Dame’s Troy D’Amico during the 2017-2018
season. 22nd Century Media file photo
primary leader.
“Ramar last year was
our big leader, well and
Julian too, but Ramar was
our captain, he really led
us when times got tough,”
Cunningham said. “That
really helped me because
I looked up to him last
year as a leader and he
taught me so much. He
had a great voice, through
his actions and how he
played; he never got rattled.”
Cunningham’s new role
on the team wasn’t an
easy change.
“I think there were some
difficulties adjusting,” he
said, “I had to go over
the plays and make sure I
knew every position, because
I didn’t really know
that one game I could be
playing point guard, the
next at two guard.”
For the fourth time in
coach Tom Livatino’s
nine years at the helm
of Loyola basketball,
and second consecutive
year, the Ramblers finished
with 20 wins and a
regional title. The Ramblers
play in one of the
tougher conferences in
the state and were in one
of the hardest, if not the
hardest, sectional this
season.
“[Coach Tom] Livatino
has a great system,” Cunningham
said. “Anybody
who plays for Livatino
has to buy into his system
or else it’ll be hard to get
many minutes. Our team
revolves around defense,
getting good shots and
not rushing shots. It’s just
buying into the culture
and I think every guy in
the past two years did
that. That leads to success.”

Girl’s Basketball Coach of the Year
Lake Forest’s Wilhelm
chosen for inaugural honor
Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor
Coaches are often the
needle on a compass that
points players in the right
direction during a long
season.
They string different
players, personalities and
skill sets together into one
cohesive unit. When done
right, the season often
ends in success.
Kyle Wilhelm, the head
coach of Lake Forest High
School’s girls basketball
program, guided a team
punctuated by talented
underclassman and players
who stepped up in the
wake of injury.
The Scouts finished the
season with a 22-10 overall
record and a playoff
run that ended with a loss
to Lake Zurich in the regional
final. Because of his
efforts, the sports staff at
22nd Century Media chose
Wilhelm as the inaugural
Coach of the Year for girls
basketball.
“I was not expecting
this,” Wilhelm said. “I’m
honored and surprised.
I’m surprised in the sense
that I really respect a lot
of the coaches that I coach
against. I see the time that
everyone puts into preparing
and to be named Coach
of the Year is an honor.”
Wilhelm, who finished
his seventh year as the
Scouts’ head coach, has
seen his current group of
players grow. The seniors
came into a program that
only won eight games prior
to their freshman year.
In four years, the Scouts’
program is a far cry from
where it began — their
success includes a 2017
Lake Forest coach Kyle Wilhelm (middle) led a young
girls basketball to a second-consecutive season
winning 20-plus games. 22nd Century Media File Photo
regional championship.
“This group, the seniors
in particular, should really
be looking back on their
career and the mark that
they left,” Wilhelm said.
“They just finished (with
season) wins of 17, 13, 23
and 22.”
Wilhelm built his program,
with assistant coach
Reanna Perera, by harnessing
the skills of individual
players and rolling
that into success at the
team level.
Wilhelm had two major
challenges this season.
The first was making up
for the two key players
who graduated. The success
of the season prior
acted as motivation for this
year’s squad and Wilhelm
saw evidence of that this
past summer.
“I think the big thing
was ... they came in really
focused this summer and
really determined to meet
and exceed last year’s performance,”
Wilhelm said.
The seconds, unfortunately,
was making up
for Maeve Summerville’s
absence. Summerville suffered
a season-ending injury
at the end of the summer
session. Wilhelm had
to figure out how to make
up 25-27 points per game
from losing those three
players.
“As the season started,
it was really just challenging
those players to fill the
void that Maeve was leaving,”
he said. “We really
talked about how it wasn’t
going to be one person to
do that. It was really going
to have to be collective effort,
and everyone was going
to have to step up.”
They didn’t disappoint.
Sophomore point guard
Halle Douglass was one
of the team’s top scorers.
Seniors Jen Whittington
and Audrey Kaus stepped
up in a big way and even
Summerville’s younger
sister, Finola Summerville,
helped fill the gaps.
“We started picking up
those signature wins and
every signature win you
get you kind of see the belief
and the expectation of
the team,” Wilhelm said.
“They raised the expectation-level
themselves.”

Boys Basketball Coach of the Year
Teamwork key for
Giants’, Harris success
Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor
Simply put, coaches
champion their players.
In a season filled with
inevitable ups and downs,
it is the coach’s job to keep
their teams on task.
When looking at who
did that the best this season
across 22nd Century
Media area teams it was
a hard decision. Programs
like New Trier and Loyola
Academy stand out as having
coaching staffs that
are undoubtably talented.
However, the sports department
looked deeper
into regular-season play
and chose a coach that
helped lift his team from a
shaky start to a team that
finished the regular season
with confidence.
Highland Park High
School’s Paul Harris was
chosen as the inaugural recipient
for the 2018 Coach
of the Year.
Harris, who just completed
his 19th year as head
coach with the Giants, led
his team to a 15-11 overall
record and an 8-2 Central
Suburban League North
conference finish after a
0-4 start.
“Our mindset as coaches,
and as a program, was
to try and get the guys to
focus on improvement and
get them to remember that
past success doesn’t guarantee
future success,” he
said.
The team’s start didn’t
define the Giants’ season,
and Harris even celebrated
a personal accomplishment
in January after nabbing
his 300th career win.
Highland Park coach Paul Harris (middle) helped lead
his team out of an 0-4 start to finish the regular season
15-11. 22nd Century Media File Photo
However, none of those
accolades are more important
to Harris than the
growth of his team from
summer 2017 until the end
of the season this year.
“When I think about the
season as a whole, I’m just
really proud of how we
competed,” he said. “This
was a group that set high
standards for themselves.”
Slowly, the Giants’
came together for some
big wins during the season.
“They showed tremendous
resiliency,” Harris
said. “With playing a tough
schedule, we weren’t going
to go undefeated this
year. We knew that wasn’t
going to happen.”
Part of that bounceback
was the willingness of the
group to work as a team,
Harris said. The team
didn’t care who was the
top scorer of the night, as
long as they won.
“We had a group of
guys that just wanted to be
successful,” Harris said.
“That’s fun to be around
and that’s a credit to their
character.”
Part of the joy of Harris’
job is watching players
develop over their careers
and over the course of a
season. However, part of
the challenge of coaching
is helping players reach the
next level of their game.
“It’s really rewarding to
see players get out of their
comfort zone, because
that’s how they grow,” he
said.
There have been concepts
that the Giants’
coaching staff will work
with players during practice
and to see that translate
on the court during a
game is another highlight
for Harris.
“To see players trust the
coaching that they’re receiving
– that feels really
good,” he said.
Editors Note: Coach of
the Year was chosen by the
Sports Department at 22nd
Century Media. The decision
was made on regular-season
play and the development of
the team from the beginning
of the regular season until
the conclusion.

‘Raising the bar’ on deck for Giants this season
Michael Wojtychiw
Contributing Sports Editor
The beginning of a season
can always be a tricky
one. Teams try out new
formations, new lineups,
a little bit of everything,
to see what can make them
better.
Each team hopes that
by being better that will
translate to points, or in
soccer’s case, goals on the
scoreboard.
Both New Trier and
Highland Park played only
their second game of the
young season on Saturday,
March 17, in Northfield.
New Trier, wearing green
on St. Patrick’s Day, came
out on top 2-0.
The Trevians (2-0),
seemingly skilled in every
aspect of play, managed
to win with solid defense,
executing offense where it
would give them a chance
to score goals and they
kept the Giants at bay. The
Giants (0-2) found it hard
to get around the Trevians
and weren’t able to pick up
a shot on goal the entire
game.
While it was New Trier
that came out on top,
Highland Park’s coach
Kate Straka was happy
with how the team played,
especially defensively for
the majority of the first
half.
“Defensively, I think Jamie
Stern – who we pulled
back to play left back from
her previous defensive
center mid position – she
was all over the place,”
Straka said. “She played
Giants junior Sydney Cohen, junior midfielder, clears
the zone Saturday, March 17, at New Trier. Michael
Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media
middle, she played right,
she was all over the place
and was strong in the back
for us. Her teammates fed
off of that.”
New Trier couldn’t get
much going offensively
early in the first half, until
sophomore Emma Weaver
changed that. She took a
ball down the right side of
the field and hit a rocket
that went in the far bottom
corner, giving the hosts
a 1-0 lead with 11 minutes,
39 seconds left in the
opening half.
“I think we got a little bit
better from our first game,
in terms of trying to organize
and help each other
out,” New Trier coach Jim
Burnside said. “We always
talk to our kids about doing
their job and also doing
33 percent of somebody
else’s job.”
The goal breathed some
life into the Trevians, but
they weren’t able to put
another one into the back
of the net before the half
ended.
While the Giants’ defense
was doing a good
job putting the clamps on
the Trevians, their offense
was sputtering.
“They’re so strong in the
back,” Straka said about
the Trevians defense.
“They’re big, strong, composed
and faster than us.
We tried to outplay them
with heart and grit but
they’re just a quality soccer
team and worked it a
lot better up top than we
did.”
The Trevians added an
insurance goal when junior
Lilly Frentzel knocked in
a rebound off of a Nicole
Kaspi shot with 18:51 remaining
in the game. The
goal was the first of Frentzel’s
varsity career.
Despite her team not
scoring a goal through its
first two games, Straka is
excited for the upcoming
season.
“At the end of the game,
we talked about raising the
bar higher for us,” she said.
“We took away confidence
that we can be competitive
against one of the top
teams in the state and that
we can be in the game.”

The Highland Park resident
had been glued to the

And when it was all

“Exhilarating.”
Curling is a sport that
is near and dear to Mills’
heart, having played it for
nearly 65 years. He first

and broom in 1951 after
some convincing from
his brother-in-law, Ralph
Trischman.
Trischman had convinced
Mills’ parents to
become charter members
of the Chicago Curling
Club in Northbrook and
simultaneously convinced
him to try his hand at curling
instead of bowling.
Mills is glad he did.
“There’s a lot of camaraderie;
there’s a lot of
exercise,” Mills said. “I
would say 60-some years
of curling has kept me in
shape. When I stopped, I
was 90 years old. Now,
I’m almost 92.”
While he never made it
to the Olympic ice, Mills
has represented Illinois
in curling at a high level,
having twice made it to
national championship
tournaments.
In 1972, Mills took
his team to the National
Curling Championship,
representing Illinois. At
the time, there were 10
curling clubs in the state,
whereas today only four
remain.
Mills and his squad finished
fifth out of the 12
teams, but it wouldn’t be
his last time he took to the
national stage.
Years later, Mills led his
team to an Illinois Senior
Championship, a division
open to curlers ages
55 and older and again to
the national tournament,
where his team finished
second in heartbreaking
fashion.
“I went to the national
tournament with another
team and there were 32
rinks — that’s the teams

— in the event and we
played in the finals of the
very first event,” he said.
“I made my last shot and
the other skip made his
last shot, so we came in
second. It was very disappointing
because I made
a very good shot like
John [Shuster] had in the
Olympics.”
But as Mills watched
Team USA curl its way to
victory, it stirred up familiar
and fond memories for
the lifelong curler.
“Frankly, I knew what
they felt like,” Mills said.
“It wasn’t quite as big,
but to win the state tournament
and go to the national
tournament, that’s
the way I felt, too — same
idea.”
And while Mills retired
from the sport in 2016,
ants tied the game off a
stolen base in the fifth
inning. Jack Greenwalk
scored on a steal of home,
Kramer stole second.

The Highland Park resident
says he misses the
sport dearly, but is grateful
for all the experiences
he has had in his more

career.
“It’s a grand sport. You

The thing is,” he said, his

And there we are.”
