Wilmette Village Board<br />

Age for purchasing tobacco products raised from 18 to 21 in Wilmette<br />

Todd Marver<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

The Wilmette Village<br />

Board voted unanimously<br />

to adopt an ordinance<br />

amending the Village<br />

Code to increase the age<br />

to purchase tobacco products<br />

from 18 to 21 years of<br />

age at its Tuesday, March<br />

13 meeting. Prior to the<br />

board’s vote, the Judiciary<br />

Committee met to consider<br />

increasing the minimum<br />

age for the sale of tobacco<br />

products to 21. After discussion,<br />

the Judiciary Committee<br />

unanimously recommended<br />

the ordinance for<br />

consideration by the Village<br />

Board. Trustee Senta Plunkett<br />

is the chairperson of the<br />

Judiciary Committee.<br />

“You were very much<br />

a champion of that ordinance,”<br />

Village President<br />

Bob Bielinski said to Plunkett.<br />

Plunkett thanked Assistant<br />

Director of Administrative<br />

Services John<br />

Prejzner and Village Attorney<br />

Jeff Stein for helping<br />

to make the ordinance<br />

become reality.<br />

“Thank you to Mr.<br />

Prejzner for the research<br />

and Mr. Stein for drafting<br />

the ordinance,” Plunkett<br />

said. “I can say that we had<br />

no pushback and we only<br />

had support. This might<br />

have been one of the easiest<br />

things that the Village<br />

Board has handled over the<br />

last couple years. Thank<br />

you to all those who have<br />

helped support this.”<br />

Plunkett cited statistics<br />

from tobacco21.org and<br />

lungchicago.org as a basis<br />

“I can say that we had no pushback and we only<br />

had support. This might have been one of the<br />

easiest things that the Village Board has handled<br />

over the last couple years.”<br />

Senta Plunkett — Wilmette Village Board trustee and chairperson of<br />

the Judiciary Committee on Wilmette raising the age to purchase tobacco<br />

products from 18 to 21<br />

for increasing the age from<br />

18 to 21 to purchase tobacco<br />

products.<br />

“Studies have shown that<br />

25 percent of tobacco users<br />

(in the Midwest) are less<br />

than 18 and that 90 percent<br />

of those who provide<br />

tobacco to kids (under 18)<br />

are under 21,” she said. “So<br />

this could have a meaningful<br />

impact. When we say tobacco,<br />

we also include vaping<br />

products that contain<br />

nicotine that have become<br />

the discussion these days.”<br />

Prior to raising the age,<br />

the Village Code prohibited<br />

the sale of tobacco to<br />

people younger than 18<br />

years of age, which is consistent<br />

with state law. The<br />

Village regulates the retail<br />

sale of tobacco products<br />

and requires those desiring<br />

to sell tobacco within the<br />

Village limits to obtain a<br />

Village license. The Village<br />

only regulates the sale of<br />

tobacco, but does not regulate<br />

the use or possession of<br />

tobacco as that remains under<br />

state control. Currently,<br />

there are approximately<br />

14 business locations in<br />

the Village authorized to<br />

1063 Oak | 5 beds, 4.1 baths | $1,495,000<br />

sell tobacco products. The<br />

types of businesses include<br />

five gas stations, four convenience<br />

stores, two grocery<br />

stores, a liquor store,<br />

golf course, and a cigar/<br />

tobacco store. Businesses<br />

impacted by the proposed<br />

ordinance were notified of<br />

the ordinance introduction<br />

that occurred at the board’s<br />

Feb. 27 meeting prior to<br />

the adoption of the ordinance<br />

at the board’s March<br />

13 meeting. In an effort<br />

to reduce smoking rates<br />

in youth and adolescents,<br />

several communities have<br />

increased the minimum age<br />

for the sale of tobacco from<br />

18 to 21. Currently there<br />

are 13 other municipalities<br />

and one county in Illinois<br />

who have increased the age<br />

Officials: Langdon Beach<br />

may not open for swimming<br />

Todd Marver<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

The conditions at Langdon<br />

Beach are worsening<br />

and the Wilmette Park<br />

District will decide in<br />

mid-April whether or not<br />

to open it as a swimming<br />

beach this summer.<br />

At the Wilmette Park<br />

Board’s Monday, March 12<br />

meeting, Superintendent of<br />

Recreation Kathy Bingham<br />

explained that the district<br />

is going to wait until after<br />

some of the March and<br />

April storms to determine<br />

whether or not to open<br />

Langdon as a swimming<br />

beach this summer.<br />

“This year the conditions<br />

are very different and<br />

we’ve never seen it quite<br />

like what we have right<br />

now,” she said. “We’re going<br />

to see if we have any<br />

storms that majorly change<br />

the landscape down there.<br />

We’re definitely going to<br />

know a month from now or<br />

five weeks from now what<br />

we think we can do with<br />

that space.”<br />

If the district were to<br />

open Langdon as a swimming<br />

beach this summer,<br />

grading would need to be<br />

done in late April to create<br />

a path to walk down to the<br />

lakefront.<br />

“Traditionally towards<br />

the end of April is when<br />

we bring in the heavy machinery<br />

to do our grading at<br />

the beach and last year we<br />

actually created a path and<br />

an area so that we could get<br />

people down there,” Bingham<br />

said.<br />

Commissioner Ryrie<br />

Pellaton explained the difficulty<br />

in walking down to<br />

the lakefront currently.<br />

“Right now there’s a<br />

four foot drop to get down<br />

A sign from the Wilmette Park District is shown<br />

at Langdon Beach on March 14 in Wilmette. Eric<br />

DeGrechie/22nd Century Media<br />

to what’s left of the beach<br />

when it’s not terribly windy<br />

and the waves aren’t too<br />

big and you can walk on<br />

the beach down there,”<br />

he said. “You have to be a<br />

mountain goat to get down<br />

to the beach.”<br />

Commissioner Bryan<br />

Abbott added that residents<br />

need to be careful if they’re<br />

going to walk down to the<br />

lakefront in the beach’s<br />

current state.<br />

“Down at Langdon that<br />

slope is getting very steep<br />

and the public should use<br />

some caution when taking<br />

that path all the way down<br />

to the lakefront. Be careful,”<br />

he said.<br />

Commissioner John<br />

Olvany noted the conditions<br />

at the beach are the<br />

worst he’s seen it in the<br />

three decades he’s been going<br />

there.<br />

“I was just down there<br />

at Langdon again a couple<br />

times this weekend,” he<br />

said. “I’m there a lot. It’s<br />

worse. The 30 years I’ve<br />

been there, I’ve never seen<br />

as many rocks.”<br />

The district is holding<br />

a community meeting regarding<br />

Langdon Beach<br />

and the playground at<br />

Langdon Park on April 11.<br />

“We’re looking for community<br />

input,” Abbott said.<br />

“The mailings will go out<br />

to the neighbors around<br />

that park but otherwise get<br />

the word out, please come<br />

and provide your community<br />

input. There is no<br />

design. This is a programming<br />

meeting. Come and<br />

give your comments as to<br />

what your vision for that<br />

playground ought to be or<br />

ought not to be at Langdon.”<br />

The district held a community<br />

meeting regarding<br />

the Keay Nature Center in<br />

room 106 of the Community<br />

Recreation Center on<br />

Tuesday, March 20.<br />

“The entire community<br />

is invited to attend but especially<br />

those in the neighborhood<br />

who care about<br />

their park,” Abbott said.<br />

“We’re really looking for<br />

your input. The Wilmette<br />

Foundation has graciously<br />

been offering their financial<br />

support for this project and<br />

we appreciate their support.<br />

We hope they show up as<br />

well. Please come, review<br />

the plan and provide your<br />

comments on the plan for<br />

Keay Nature Center.”

in the thefts and were each<br />

charged with two counts of<br />

New Trier Township home energy<br />

program helps low income families<br />

Alexa Burnell<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

The brutal Midwest<br />

winters can take its toll on<br />

the residents of the North<br />

Shore, particularly for<br />

those who have fallen on<br />

hard times. So, on Thursday,<br />

March 15, New Trier<br />

Township, in partnership<br />

with the North Shore Senior<br />

Center, opened its<br />

doors for qualifying individuals<br />

to apply for the<br />

Low Income Home Energy<br />

Assistance Program<br />

grants, making sure no<br />

one is left out in the cold.<br />

Jack Macholl, communications<br />

director, explained<br />

how the LIHEAP<br />

program is reflective of<br />

the Township’s newly<br />

embraced motto “Making<br />

a Difference — Right<br />

Now.”<br />

“What we are doing<br />

right now is helping<br />

those in our township<br />

who need it most,” Macholl<br />

said. “Right now,<br />

through our food pantry,<br />

we help those who are<br />

facing financial hardships,<br />

and needs help acquiring<br />

every day staples such<br />

as paper towels, hygiene<br />

products, fresh produce<br />

and more. Right now, we<br />

are helping seniors who<br />

may be struggling with<br />

finances or health related<br />

issues. Right now, we<br />

are helping those who’ve<br />

lost their jobs, connecting<br />

them with the right people<br />

and agencies, so that they<br />

can gain employment.<br />

And, right now, on this<br />

very day, we are helping<br />

people keep their heat and<br />

lights on, despite the fact<br />

that prices skyrocket during<br />

the winter months.”<br />

New Trier Township<br />

serves Wilmette, Winnetka,<br />

Kenilworth, Glencoe,<br />

and parts of Northfield<br />

and Glenview, making it<br />

hard for people to believe<br />

that even among the affluence<br />

of the North Shore,<br />

there are families struggling<br />

to make ends meet.<br />

“It’s easy to think that<br />

New Trier Township residents<br />

don’t need this type<br />

of assistance, but everyone<br />

is susceptible to falling on<br />

hard times. Sometimes,<br />

families are faced with a<br />

medical crisis or job loss<br />

that can quickly and drastically<br />

change their financial<br />

status,” Macholl said.<br />

“Each week, we have<br />

88 people, not including<br />

all family members,<br />

who come to the pantry,<br />

just to get the staples that<br />

perhaps they once didn’t<br />

have to think twice about.<br />

It’s the Township’s duty to<br />

help them; when we help<br />

these individuals, we keep<br />

the overall community<br />

healthy.”<br />

Ana Pinshower, case<br />

manager from the North<br />

Shore Senior Center, was<br />

on hand, helping families<br />

navigate the application<br />

process, touched by the<br />

people she met.<br />

“Today, we’ve seen a<br />

variety of clients, from<br />

seniors to families with<br />

young children, all who<br />

qualified for assistance,”<br />

Pinshower said. “One of<br />

the cases that hit me the<br />

hardest was that of a senior<br />

who required an oxygen<br />

tank. Just think how<br />

detrimental it would be for<br />

his utilities to be shut off.<br />

While his case is the one<br />

that stands out to me the<br />

most, there are dozens of<br />

people, just like him, who<br />

need assistance for good<br />

reasons. Last year alone,<br />

we filed applications, well<br />

into the hundreds.”<br />

Senior Center at (847)<br />

The Township also encourages<br />

residents to come<br />

to the upcoming New Trier<br />

Township 169th Annual<br />

Meeting, scheduled for 7<br />

p.m. April 10 at the Arthur<br />

C. Nielsen, Jr. Campus of<br />

the North Shore Senior<br />

Center, located at 161<br />

Northfield Road, Northfield,<br />

services that the New Trier<br />

Township provides for<br />

residents.<br />

“So with this, hopefully<br />

Wilmette can join the communities<br />

that have done this<br />

and make an impact right<br />

now,” Plunkett said. “There<br />

is legislation in the state<br />

to also raise the age to 21,<br />

which would be wonderful.<br />

But in the meantime I would<br />

encourage our neighboring<br />

communities to join us.”

Bagpiper surprises Wilmette<br />

sisters on St. Patrick’s Day<br />

Sisters of Christian<br />

Charity raise money<br />

at annual craft fair<br />

Hilary Anderson<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

It was a St. Patrick’s Day surprise<br />

for Wilmette’s Sisters of<br />

Christian Charity.<br />

The sisters scheduled a craft<br />

fair the weekend of St. Patrick’s<br />

Day at their Sacred Heart Convent<br />

to sell handmade items<br />

made by members of their community.<br />

Sister Mary Ann Poppler was<br />

in charge. She holds these craft<br />

fairs about twice a year.<br />

“We have so many lovely<br />

handmade items our sisters make<br />

that the public could use,” Poppler<br />

said. “We use the proceeds<br />

to help support our retired and elderly<br />

sisters and those who need<br />

intensive medical care.”<br />

The list of handmade items<br />

included crocheted, embroidered,<br />

knitted, quilted and needlepoint<br />

items including tablecloths,<br />

dresser scarves, doilies,<br />

quilts, afghans for babies and<br />

adults, coin purses, hats, mittens,<br />

scarves, kitchen towels, table<br />

trivets and hot pads, table runners,<br />

all occasion greeting cards,<br />

even plants and more.<br />

“It is hard to find a store that<br />

sells handmade goods,” Poppler<br />

said. “Some of our sisters even<br />

knitted bunny rabbits that were<br />

popular and seasonal toilet paper<br />

holders. There were usable items<br />

made from Chicago Bears and<br />

other sports team materials. Our<br />

sisters are so creative.”<br />

Word went out among local<br />

supporters of the sisters.<br />

James Brian, a piper who is a<br />

member of the Chicago Highland<br />

Rifles and the Illinois Veterans<br />

and Police Association Honour<br />

Guard, heard about the efforts<br />

to raise money to benefit the elderly<br />

and ill religious women in<br />

the Sisters of Christian Charity<br />

community. He decided to surprise<br />

the sisters with a private St.<br />

Patrick’s Day piping event.<br />

“I went to Chicago’s St. Philomena<br />

School as a child and<br />

learned so much from the sisters,”<br />

Brian said. “They were<br />

such good people to us. I wanted<br />

to give back to them and say<br />

thank you.”<br />

Brian said he was in the fourth<br />

grade when a piper came to his<br />

school and showed the class how<br />

a bagpipe works.<br />

“It was then I decided that some<br />

day I would be a piper,” he said.<br />

“I eventually went on to study<br />

music at DePaul University.”<br />

Brian now plays his bagpipe<br />

for a variety of events.<br />

“I was playing at an event in<br />

Hubbard Woods when I heard<br />

about the sisters’ craft fair and<br />

decided to play for the sisters and<br />

their visitors,” Brian said.<br />

“What a joy to hear him play,”<br />

Geri O’Keefe said. “This was a<br />

double treat. I found a cute knitted<br />

hat and bought 21 handmade<br />

greeting cards.”<br />

“I am here like so many others<br />

to support the sisters,” Anne<br />

Nagle said. “They quietly do so<br />

much for the community and<br />

are so cherished. What a nice<br />

surprise to hear the piper at the<br />

opening of the St. Patrick’s Day<br />

celebration. I found this Chicago<br />

Bears wine bag and will give it<br />

as a present. I also bought this<br />

hot pad and some cards.”<br />

Sister Rose Mary Meyer, a<br />

BVM sister, stopped by and<br />

found a cloth bag she can use to<br />

carry paperwork back and forth<br />

to her office.<br />

“Look at this handiwork,” she<br />

said. “I love the fabric and the<br />

colors.”<br />

Newcomers were there, too.<br />

“We just moved into the<br />

neighborhood and wanted to take<br />

a look at all the things the sisters<br />

have for our toddler son, Finn,”<br />

Tabitha McCarthy said.<br />

“We have to keep up the Irish<br />

quota in the neighborhood,” Tim<br />

McCarthy said. “To our wonderful<br />

surprise we hear the bagpipe<br />

music!”<br />

After the craft fair was over,<br />

Brian played more songs, explained<br />

how a bagpipe works<br />

and answered the sisters’ many<br />

questions.<br />

“Hope my piping helped these<br />

wonderful sisters who have done<br />

so much for others,” Brian said.<br />

“I also hope it encouraged craft<br />

fair visitors to buy more and help<br />

the sisters support the elderly and<br />

ill members of their community.<br />

I enjoyed being with them for the<br />

beginning of their St. Patrick’s<br />

Day! Celebration!”<br />

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK<br />

City Council votes down Green<br />

Bay Road speed limit reduction<br />

Cars will continue to legally<br />

drive 35 mph on Green Bay Road<br />

after this week’s City Council<br />

decision to keep the speed limit<br />

the same. All present members<br />

voted no at the Monday, March 12<br />

meeting. Councilwoman Michelle<br />

Holleman and Mayor Nancy Rotering<br />

were not present.<br />

This issue came to light when<br />

Matthew Vanderkooy, who moved<br />

to the area around Green Bay Road<br />

in June 2017, felt people were driving<br />

too fast for comfort. He immediately<br />

got to work trying to make<br />

the neighborhood safer for his two<br />

children under the age of five.<br />

Vanderkooy brought the request<br />

to lower the speed limit on Green<br />

Bay Road to the City in August<br />

2017 and the traffic management<br />

committee advised him to start<br />

a petition in order to show some<br />

support among the residents on<br />

that section of the road.<br />

The functional street classification<br />

map shows Green Bay Road<br />

is an arterial route and the section<br />

up for debate is the section between<br />

Glencoe Ave all the way to<br />

County Line Road — around 1.7<br />

miles long.<br />

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN<br />

Residents, community leaders,<br />

politicians unite against rail<br />

expansion<br />

Don’t turn Glenview’s neighborhoods<br />

into a parking lot for<br />

freight trains.<br />

That was the message that came<br />

across loud and clear during the<br />

public forum held in Glenbrook<br />

South’s Watson Auditorium on<br />

March 12, which drew more than<br />

1,000 North Shore residents.<br />

The forum called by the Village<br />

of Glenview was a response<br />

to Amtrak’s proposal to the Federal<br />

Railroad Administration to<br />

add three daily round trips to the<br />

Hiawatha service between Chicago<br />

and Milwaukee, increasing<br />

the number of its passenger<br />

trains passing through Glenview<br />

from 14 to 20. This would also<br />

entail building a two-mile holding<br />

track in West Glenview to accommodate<br />

the Canadian Pacific and<br />

Union Pacific freight trains that<br />

share the rail line with Metra, as<br />

well as Amtrak’s Hiawatha and<br />

Empire Builder (cross-country)<br />

passenger trains. The Glenview<br />

tracks would run north from West<br />

Lake Avenue to Willow Road.<br />

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER<br />

Northbrook native co-authors<br />

book on Joe Maddon<br />

Most Chicago Cubs fans quickly<br />

developed an affinity for manager<br />

Joe Maddon following his<br />

arrival in late 2014.<br />

Now, thanks to the work of<br />

Northbrook native and GBN<br />

graduate Jesse Rogers, fans of the<br />

64-year-old, three-time manager<br />

of the year, will get an inside look<br />

at the crucial role Maddon played<br />

in breaking the Cubs’ 108-year<br />

World Series drought. Rogers,<br />

with the help of MLB.com’s Bill<br />

Chastain, recently released “Try<br />

Not to Suck: The Exceptional,<br />

Extraordinary Baseball Life of<br />

Joe Maddon,” a book chronicling<br />

Maddon’s life in baseball.<br />

“It’s a biographical look at the<br />

career of Joe Maddon and how he<br />

came to who he is as a manger,”<br />

Rogers said. “The things he’s<br />

learned along the way, the things<br />

that make him unique the things<br />

that have made him a manager<br />

that’s on the track to the hall of<br />

fame. It’s a look at what makes<br />

Maddon tick.”<br />

And to find out just what exactly<br />

does make Maddon tick,<br />

Rogers devoted countless hours<br />

of preparation, work and research<br />

during the Cubs’ 2017 spring<br />

training season.<br />

The final product resulted in a<br />

near 300-page book, released earlier<br />

this month.<br />

Regina walkout promotes<br />

just and peaceful community<br />

Eric DeGrechie, Editor<br />

‘Standing together and<br />

showing their support’<br />

For Regina Dominican<br />

students Gillian King and<br />

Beth Gillespie, sitting idle<br />

following last month’s<br />

mass shooting in Parkland,<br />

Fla., was just not an<br />

option.<br />

“I started seeing people<br />

talking about walking<br />

out on social media and<br />

I thought we have to do<br />

this,” Gillespie said. “As<br />

students, we see school<br />

shootings a lot, but what<br />

we see after is inaction and<br />

apathy to the problem. We<br />

as students have to take<br />

this into our own hands or<br />

nothing will get done.”<br />

King, a senior from<br />

Lake Forest, and Gillespie,<br />

a junior from Chicago,<br />

led the planning of<br />

Regina’s participation<br />

in the National School<br />

Walkout Day March 14 at<br />

the school. The studentdriven<br />

exercise began<br />

at 10 a.m. and lasted for<br />

17 minutes, one minute<br />

for each student killed at<br />

Marjory Stoneman Douglas<br />

High School on Feb.<br />

14.<br />

“The first reaction from<br />

the school when we talked<br />

about doing something<br />

was an undoubtable yes.<br />

There was a lot of talk<br />

about exactly what could<br />

be done,” King said.<br />

“Walkouts are very important<br />

for change and<br />

solidarity. We also wanted<br />

to do something to put<br />

pressure on Congress.”<br />

Students were dismissed<br />

from class to participate<br />

in four events occurring<br />

simultaneously.<br />

In the cafeteria, students<br />

wrote letters to Congress.<br />

In the chapel, students<br />

prayed, reflected and lit<br />

memorial candles. In the<br />

gymnasium, students<br />

for members of the Marjory<br />

Stoneman Douglas<br />

High School communities.<br />

“We wanted to have activities<br />

for students who<br />

didn’t necessarily want<br />

to go the political route,”<br />

King said.<br />

In addition, students<br />

gathered outside on the<br />

Panther Patio where they<br />

discussed what they were<br />

feeling about the day and<br />

held a moment of silence.<br />

Following the shooting<br />

last month, students wore<br />

red to school in honor of<br />

the students. The success<br />

of that initiative helped<br />

set the stage for Wednesday’s<br />

events.<br />

“Gillian and Beth put<br />

their passion for this issue<br />

at the forefront. One<br />

thing that always amazes<br />

me about our Regina girls<br />

is their confidence and<br />

drive,” said Eleanor Rich,<br />

enrollment and recruitment<br />

associate. “They<br />

have an ability to really<br />

put themselves out there<br />

and do something different.<br />

They speak their<br />

minds, state their opinions,<br />

but also have that respected<br />

by the other girls<br />

in the school.”<br />

Loyola students<br />

host walkout to call<br />

for change<br />

of the Loyola football stadium March 14 in Wilmette.<br />

Diane Smutney/Loyola Academy<br />

On March 14, Loyola<br />

Academy, like many<br />

school across the nation,<br />

took part in the National<br />

School Walkout to bring<br />

attention to a unified call<br />

for change in the way our<br />

country addresses school<br />

safety, gun violence and<br />

adolescent mental health.<br />

At 10 a.m., students who<br />

wished to participate had<br />

two options.<br />

The first option was going<br />

to the football field,<br />

where, when entering the<br />

field, the band would play<br />

“An American Elegy,”<br />

Frank Ticheli’s 1999 musical<br />

composition dedicated<br />

to those who lost their lives<br />

at Columbine High School.<br />

Each student participating<br />

was given an orange name<br />

tag with the name and age<br />

of one of the 17 victims.<br />

After everyone entered the<br />

stadium, students stood<br />

together around the track<br />

and shared a time of quiet<br />

reflection as the football<br />

clock counted down from<br />

17 minutes.<br />

Each minute, the name<br />

and age of one of the Parkland,<br />

Fla. shooting victims<br />

was read aloud and<br />

the Loyola choir closed in<br />

song.<br />

“The process (of the<br />

walkout) started when the<br />

administration got wind<br />

that students were starting<br />

to band together and do<br />

something about what happened<br />

in Parkland,” junior<br />

Sophia D’Agostino said.<br />

“The weekend after Valentine’s<br />

Day, I, and I think<br />

about 20 other students<br />

from different leadership<br />

outlets throughout school,<br />

got an email from Dr.<br />

Baal. We met three times<br />

with a group of administration,<br />

faculty members<br />

and students to discuss so<br />

many aspects about what<br />

was happening.<br />

“We really wanted to<br />

know how the school was<br />

feeling so we could unify<br />

completely, and after a<br />

few meetings, we finalized<br />

what was going to happen<br />

to try to best represent everybody<br />

at Loyola.”<br />

The second option was<br />

available to students who<br />

did not wish to participate<br />

in the walkout, but wanted<br />

to show their solidarity<br />

and unity.<br />

Approximately 300 students<br />

who felt that way<br />

went to the chapel and<br />

prayed the rosary.<br />

The names of the victims<br />

were read aloud and<br />

the service stood as a powerful<br />

collective prayer for<br />

peace, according to a press<br />

release from the school.<br />

“The environment was<br />

extremely powerful and<br />

I felt the community,”<br />

Loyola sophomore Ethan<br />

Torain said. “The main<br />

thing I recognized was<br />

the pride that the people<br />

had standing together and<br />

showing their support. I<br />

hope this made people feel<br />

more connected to the people<br />

of Parkland and helped<br />

them realize that our circumstances<br />

are somewhat<br />

similar so that they can go<br />

out and help in any way<br />

they can.”<br />

Torain was one of the<br />

students who got the ball<br />

rolling with administration<br />

by starting a petition with<br />

his classmates and presenting<br />

it to Loyola Principal<br />

Dr. Kathryn Baal.<br />

“The petition gave us<br />

numbers we could show<br />

Dr. Baal and help get her<br />

support,” Torain said.<br />

Student leaders said between<br />

600-1,000 students,<br />

but closer to 1,000, participated<br />

in the March 14<br />

walkout.<br />

For some students, like<br />

sophomore Catherine<br />

Flannery, it was their<br />

Loyola education and values<br />

that prepared them for<br />

an event like the this.

students signed and wrote<br />

messages about gun control<br />

on a 100-foot banner<br />

and there was a station to<br />

write letters to legislators.<br />

In Northfield, the walkout<br />

had more student speakers<br />

talking about what gun<br />

control means to them. Orange<br />

streamers were provided<br />

to all students.<br />

The event, New Trier<br />

Walkout 2018, was not<br />

school-sanctioned. It was<br />

coordinated by Student Alliance<br />

after students had a<br />

“really strong response” to<br />

the February shooting, said<br />

Jacob Imber, president of<br />

Student Alliance.<br />

“It’s been really stressful,<br />

but behind this stress,<br />

there’s an important<br />

cause,” Imber said about<br />

the coordination of the<br />

event. “It’s good to know<br />

that even if planning<br />

this has been a logistical<br />

nightmare, it’s something<br />

you want to work for because<br />

it will make a difference.”<br />

Imber, along with other<br />

members of Student Alliance,<br />

met with school<br />

administrators throughout<br />

recent weeks to make sure<br />

the event would be “centralized<br />

and as safe as possible.”<br />

“The school has been really<br />

accommodating and<br />

allowed us the space to<br />

make this happen,” Imber<br />

said.<br />

In a letter sent to New<br />

Trier parents, administration<br />

said they expected a<br />

large number of students to<br />

participate in the walkout.<br />

Therefore, it read, “we are<br />

altering the bell schedule in<br />

order to maintain student<br />

safety, provide adequate<br />

supervision, and ensure a<br />

safe and respectful environment<br />

for all.”<br />

The schedule allowed an<br />

“open period” from 9:55-<br />

10:20 a.m., when students<br />

could choose to participate<br />

or use the period as they<br />

would for “any free period,<br />

going to areas including the<br />

library, cafeteria and student<br />

commons,” the letter<br />

read. That period was followed<br />

by a special adviser<br />

period, where teachers took<br />

attendance again.<br />

Students were not granted<br />

permission to leave<br />

campus and were expected<br />

to be in all classes the rest<br />

of the day, including the<br />

second adviser room. Media<br />

was also not permitted<br />

on school grounds.<br />

The parent letter concluded<br />

with: “We want to<br />

thank the student groups<br />

who organized this effort<br />

for their willingness<br />

to communicate with the<br />

school so we could put a<br />

plan in place that assures<br />

the safety and supervision<br />

of all students.”<br />

The letter was signed by<br />

both campus principals,<br />

Denise Dubravec (Winnetka)<br />

and Paul Waechtler<br />

(Northfield).<br />

As a result of the letter<br />

and altered class schedule,<br />

Imber said there was a lot<br />

of speculation from the student<br />

body.<br />

“It was a matter of safety.<br />

The school had to position<br />

staff around the school to<br />

make sure it was safe,” Imber<br />

said. “It’s a good thing<br />

if you think about it.”<br />

New Trier Walkout 2018<br />

gained enough momentum<br />

that students created a special<br />

website at ntwalkout.<br />

weebly.com and an Instagram<br />

page (@NewTrier-<br />

Walkout2018).<br />

Amnesty International<br />

Club also sold more than<br />

800 orange T-shirts that<br />

read “Protect Kids, Not<br />

Guns.”

NSCDS joins schools nationwide for National School Walkout protest<br />

Jacqueline Glosniak, Editor<br />

In a showing of solidarity<br />

with millions of students<br />

nationwide protesting gun<br />

violence exactly one month<br />

after the Marjory Stoneman<br />

Douglas High School<br />

shooting in Parkland, Fla.,<br />

dozens of students and<br />

staff members from North<br />

Shore Country Day School<br />

paraded from behind the<br />

classroom walls to the front<br />

of the Winnetka campus<br />

earlier March 14 to participate<br />

in the National School<br />

Walkout event.<br />

At 10 a.m., Middle and<br />

Upper School students<br />

marched in silence to the<br />

east end of campus on<br />

Green Bay Road, hoisting<br />

signs above their heads displaying<br />

messages including<br />

“Stop killing our generation,”<br />

“Never again,” “Am<br />

I next” and “Enough.”<br />

Students from NSCDS stand on Green Bay Road during<br />

the morning of March 14 as part of the National School<br />

Walkout movement protesting for legislative change for<br />

gun laws and school safety. JACQUELINE GLOSNIAK/22ND<br />

CENTURY MEDIA<br />

Following 17 minutes<br />

spent in silence to honor<br />

the 14 students and three<br />

staff members killed in last<br />

month’s massacre, students<br />

shouted chants for gun reform<br />

and safer schools as<br />

local spectators gathered<br />

nearby and drivers slowed<br />

down and beeped to express<br />

support.<br />

In a press release issued<br />

by the school on Tuesday,<br />

administrators at North<br />

Shore Country Day School<br />

acknowledged the walkout<br />

was entirely voluntary and<br />

excused students to participate<br />

in the event.<br />

Glencoe resident Jed<br />

Graboys, a junior who<br />

helped spearhead the walkout<br />

with the Community<br />

Service Club, said he and<br />

several students had been<br />

planning for the school to<br />

participate in a walkout<br />

immediately after the national<br />

movement day was<br />

announced a few weeks<br />

ago. He said in the days<br />

leading up to the walkout,<br />

students held postermaking<br />

activities and the<br />

Community Service Club<br />

led a presentation on why<br />

the protest was necessary.<br />

“Every day, policymakers<br />

make decisions that<br />

they think are the best for<br />

our country, and we as<br />

children, our generation,<br />

is unheard,” Graboys said.<br />

“But now, it’s our time to<br />

speak. Now, it’s our time<br />

to demand change, demand<br />

reform and what we<br />

want, and we have to take<br />

that opportunity. We have<br />

to use the platform we’ve<br />

been given and we have<br />

to use that platform to demand<br />

a better country, to<br />

demand a safer country, to<br />

demand safer schools, safer<br />

workplaces and safer environments<br />

all around the<br />

country.”<br />

Fellow student organizer<br />

Livvy Whitmore, a junior<br />

from Wilmette, said over<br />

the past few weeks, her<br />

peers have taken further<br />

interest in the movement<br />

overall.<br />

“I think at North Shore<br />

Country Day School, there<br />

are kind of a lot of people<br />

who have this mindset<br />

that [gun violence] is not<br />

really going to happen<br />

here at North Shore itself<br />

because it’s such a great,<br />

safe school, but really, the<br />

Florida shooting has put<br />

into perspective that it really<br />

can be any of us,” she<br />

said. “We wanted to walk<br />

out to kind of showcase<br />

how much we care about<br />

it and how we really want<br />

reform and we want to be<br />

able to say that we participated<br />

in this form of activism<br />

and we did everything<br />

we could.”<br />

As for campus reactions<br />

following the event,<br />

the campus buzzed with<br />

an overall positive energy<br />

and motivation for change<br />

moving forward. English<br />

teacher and Upper School<br />

Director of Service Learning<br />

Drea Gallaga said she<br />

felt it went “really great.”<br />

“Students have been taking<br />

the leadership all along<br />

and they’re just really inspiring,”<br />

she said.<br />

Contributing Columnist<br />

Oct. 21, 1947:<br />

Wilmette’s Village<br />

Board voted to<br />

oppose the North Shore<br />

Bus Company’s proposal<br />

to establish bus service<br />

between Chicago and<br />

Waukegan. The proposal is<br />

pending before the Illinois<br />

Commerce Commission.<br />

The Board objects to the<br />

proposed route through the<br />

village, namely, Green Bay<br />

Road from the Kenilworth<br />

line to Central Avenue,<br />

east on Central to Sheridan<br />

Road, and south on<br />

Sheridan to the Evanston<br />

line. The Board was most<br />

concerned about bus traffic<br />

on Central Avenue east of<br />

11th Street — a narrow<br />

residential street with multiple<br />

schools in the vicinity.<br />

• March 31, 1948: Road<br />

rage ended with Wilmette<br />

resident Irving Beitzel,<br />

1328 Wilmette Ave., in<br />

police custody and a Highwood<br />

resident, Ole Haugland,<br />

hospitalized in serious<br />

condition. The incident<br />

began at Sheridan Road and<br />

Greenwood Avenue when<br />

Beitzel made a left-hand<br />

turn from the right lane in<br />

front of Haugland’s car.<br />

Haugland pursued Beitzel<br />

to 13th Street and Lake Avenue<br />

and forced him to the<br />

curb. During the ensuing<br />

argument, Haugland struck<br />

Beitzel with a tire chain.<br />

Beitzel then procured a<br />

Former Wilmette resident Ann-Margret appeared on the<br />

Ed Sullivan TV show on April 1, 1962. Photo submitted<br />

knife from his car, stabbed<br />

Haugland in the abdomen,<br />

and drove to the police station<br />

to surrender.<br />

• March 19, 1962:<br />

Film star Ann-Margret<br />

returned to her hometown<br />

of Wilmette for a two-day<br />

visit. She recently became<br />

engaged to Burt Sugarman,<br />

a Beverly Hills businessman.<br />

Her latest movie,<br />

“State Fair,” co-starring<br />

Pat Boone and Bobby Darin,<br />

is opening at Chicago’s<br />

Oriental Theater on April<br />

13, and she’s appearing on<br />

the Ed Sullivan TV show<br />

on April 1.<br />

• Aug. 11, 1966: A historically<br />

significant house<br />

at 1136 Greenleaf Ave.,<br />

Wilmette, is about to be<br />

demolished and replaced<br />

by an apartment building.<br />

The house was once owned<br />

by Andrew Sherman,<br />

whose business career and<br />

civic life displayed many<br />

admirable virtues and<br />

accomplishments. His Wilmette<br />

house is of particular<br />

significance to Wilmette<br />

residents, because it’s<br />

the site where the village<br />

government was organized<br />

at a meeting in 1872<br />

with Sherman serving as<br />

Temporary Chairman. The<br />

first Village President, John<br />

Westerfield, was elected at<br />

this meeting. Sherman also<br />

served as a Village Trustee<br />

and Village President. He<br />

moved to Wilmette in 1871<br />

from Evanston, leaving<br />

behind Sherman Avenue as<br />

his marker.<br />

• Nov. 8, 1968: Winifred<br />

Weedon, 72, of 420<br />

Fifth St., Wilmette, died<br />

in a tragic accident at the<br />

Linden Square shopping<br />

area. Wilmette resident<br />

George Wheeler, 82,<br />

was driving southbound<br />

through the alley just west<br />

of 4th Street when he accidentally<br />

stepped on the<br />

accelerator instead of the<br />

brake. His car sped across<br />

Linden Avenue into the<br />

plate glass window of the<br />

Jewel grocery store at 415<br />

Linden. Mrs. Weedon was<br />

severely injured and died<br />

of an apparent heart attack.<br />

The thought of a<br />

school shooting has<br />

always been scary.<br />

As a young kid in a<br />

lockdown drill, no one<br />

ever announced, “Yes, I<br />

welcome a shooter! Let<br />

me fend them off. I got<br />

this.”<br />

No, we all cowered in<br />

a corner, imagining the<br />

what-ifs.<br />

Am I in the safest<br />

possible location? Who<br />

would be shot first? Me<br />

or the girl curled up next<br />

to me?<br />

On March 14, I was<br />

more terrified than ever.<br />

Yes, I will always be<br />

scared of a school shooting,<br />

but then, I was scared<br />

of our own potential. Or<br />

rather, not living up to it.<br />

For me, March 14’s walkout<br />

was a wake-up call.<br />

Us teens come with an<br />

jacoby<br />

slightly injured. An estimated<br />

75 customers were<br />

in the store at the time.<br />

• Feb. 1, 1969: The body<br />

of Chicagoan Waldo Putnins,<br />

15, a student at Lane<br />

Technical High School,<br />

was found on the Wilmette<br />

beach near the Coast Guard<br />

Station. The youth was<br />

killed accidentally when<br />

a homemade bomb fuse<br />

agenda. And we come in<br />

numbers.<br />

As a society, we are<br />

very critical by nature.<br />

People often see these<br />

movements as good, but<br />

flawed. As well-intentioned,<br />

but not enough.<br />

Unsurprisingly, this is<br />

a mindset many students<br />

took on after the walkout.<br />

While there was a lot of<br />

chatter flying about the<br />

school, there was one<br />

question that seemed to<br />

rise above the rest: What<br />

was our purpose?<br />

Some complained they<br />

couldn’t hear the speakers,<br />

but I would argue that<br />

listening to speeches was<br />

not our purpose. Others<br />

argued that we took no<br />

steps in changing legislation,<br />

to which I would say<br />

was also not our purpose.<br />

And finally, students said<br />

the only true change we<br />

can make is with our<br />

vote, so what good does a<br />

protest do?<br />

We come with an<br />

agenda, and we come in<br />

numbers. I believe that<br />

we marched to spread this<br />

message.<br />

I agree the most important<br />

change you can make<br />

is with your vote. But<br />

sometimes, people need to<br />

be inspired. These protests<br />

exploded and propelled<br />

cartridge parts into his chest<br />

and legs. He apparently<br />

intended to use the fuse<br />

to detonate a homemade<br />

bomb found near his body.<br />

Waldo was an honor student<br />

with a special interest<br />

in chemistry.<br />

• July 6, 2010: Two teenage<br />

girls were killed when<br />

a black Nissan Maxima in<br />

which they were passengers<br />

struck a fire hydrant<br />

and broadsided a tree in<br />

did not change legislation.<br />

They did not magically<br />

cause the NRA to cease to<br />

exist. But that was not our<br />

purpose.<br />

The purpose of the walkout<br />

was to empower our<br />

generation to be active and<br />

vote, in the hopes of voting<br />

in new politicians who are<br />

ready to make a change.<br />

The purpose was to<br />

make each and every<br />

student afraid of their own<br />

potential. Scared of their<br />

own power.<br />

While there were critics<br />

of the walkout, those that<br />

thought it was flawed or<br />

not enough, I was still<br />

proud to see overwhelming<br />

support and participation.<br />

I can see the excitement<br />

just by scrolling<br />

through my Instagram<br />

feed, which is flooded<br />

with pictures and videos<br />

from the walkout. The<br />

way these images have<br />

spread across all forms of<br />

social media only emphasizes<br />

that youth have<br />

taken over this movement.<br />

As I have said, we come<br />

in numbers, and so do our<br />

Snapchat stories.<br />

There will always be<br />

more we can do. We often<br />

take steps back as we<br />

take steps forward. This<br />

walkout was imperfect,<br />

the 700 block of Sheridan<br />

Road, Wilmette. The<br />

driver, Szymon Zawadzki,<br />

20, and two other teenage<br />

girls were injured.<br />

Zawadzki was charged<br />

with aggravated DUI and<br />

reckless homicide. The<br />

group had been celebrating<br />

the 18th birthday of one<br />

of the deceased girls and<br />

were returning to Chicago<br />

at 2:30 a.m. The other deceased<br />

girl was the mother<br />

of a 2-year-old son.<br />

but that does not make it<br />

any less of a success. On<br />

March 14, students across<br />

the country stood in solidarity<br />

with the students<br />

from Marjory Stoneman<br />

Douglas. We came in<br />

numbers, and we came<br />

with an agenda.<br />

Our purpose? For every<br />

single person marching,<br />

supervising or watching<br />

the videos from home to be<br />

inspired by these protests.<br />

To be inspired to vote, inspired<br />

to become educated,<br />

and empowered to stay<br />

active in politics. Because<br />

there is a lot of responsibility<br />

on our shoulders. We<br />

can make a change. And<br />

it’s terrifying.<br />

‘Aladdin Jr.’ cast motivated<br />

by Broadway actor meeting<br />

Alexa Burnell<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

“ABSOLUTELY<br />

—Kenn Wells, former lead dancer of the English National Ballet<br />

IN THE WORLD.”<br />

The 57 Wilmette Junior<br />

High School students who<br />

participated in the school’s<br />

Parent Teacher Organization-sponsored<br />

musical,<br />

“Aladdin Jr.,” which ran<br />

March 16-18, didn’t need<br />

their own personal genie to<br />

have their wish of meeting<br />

a Broadway actor granted.<br />

After the final dress rehearsal,<br />

WJHS teachers<br />

Dinah Barthelmess, director,<br />

Krystina Andreoli, musical<br />

director, and Douglas<br />

Wilson, technical director,<br />

organized a FaceTime chat<br />

with Adam Jacobs – the<br />

Broadway actor who portrays<br />

Aladdin, giving the<br />

students a once-in-a-lifetime<br />

chance to meet a star.<br />

In-between the squeals<br />

of excitement and tears of<br />

shear joy, the cast asked Jacobs<br />

a variety of questions,<br />

starting with eighth-grader<br />

Abby Konosky, who asked<br />

the star what originally<br />

drew him to theater. Jacobs<br />

revealed that his parents<br />

had exposed him early on<br />

to the performing arts, but<br />

that it wasn’t until high<br />

school when he got bitten<br />

by the acting bug.<br />

When eighth-grader<br />

Katy Blasko asked Jacobs<br />

his best advice for not getting<br />

jealous when someone<br />

else gets the lead role, the<br />

room went silent.<br />

“It’s hard to look forward<br />

if you’re always<br />

looking to the side,” he<br />

said. “By this I mean, if<br />

you are constantly comparing<br />

yourself to others,<br />

you’ll never get ahead and<br />

meet your true potential.<br />

You have to stay focused<br />

on bringing your best self<br />

in “Aladdin Jr.,” at Wilmette Junior High School.<br />

Alexa Burnell/22nd Century Media<br />

to your role, no matter<br />

what role you get.”<br />

Barthelmess asked Jacobs<br />

what life lessons he<br />

had learned through theater<br />

and he responded by<br />

saying, “there are so many<br />

benefits from being involved<br />

in theater. You learn<br />

how to think quick on your<br />

feet and how to speak in<br />

public with confidence.<br />

Plus, there is a certain energy<br />

that comes with being<br />

on the stage that can positively<br />

impact all other areas<br />

of your life,” Jacobs said.<br />

After the Q&A session,<br />

the cast took time to reflect<br />

on their own motivations<br />

for becoming involved in<br />

the school’s production and<br />

the lessons they too had<br />

learned along the way.<br />

Eighth-grader Sam Roberts<br />

(Jafar) explained that<br />

performing in “Aladdin<br />

Jr.,” was one of his first<br />

productions, but certainly<br />

won’t be his last.<br />

“Earlier today we performed<br />

for our school and<br />

I got a lot of compliments,<br />

which felt so good,” he<br />

said. “What I’ve learned<br />

from this experience is<br />

that if you really want to<br />

do something, you have to<br />

give your best and you may<br />

be surprised to discover a<br />

new talent or interest.”<br />

Eli Jobrack Lundy, a<br />

seventh-grade student who<br />

played the Genie, gave a<br />

round of applause to the<br />

school and the teachers for<br />

giving him a chance to act.<br />

“I’ve always been interested<br />

in performing, but<br />

there never seemed to be the<br />

right opportunity at school,”<br />

he said. “I’m so thankful<br />

that this program exists<br />

here. I loved my role as the<br />

Genie — it was a perfect fit<br />

and so much fun.”<br />

Eighth-grader Hope<br />

Kim, who played Jasmine,<br />

said she appreciated Barthelmess’s<br />

tips to infuse a<br />

bit of her own persona into<br />

her character.<br />

“This was one of my favorite<br />

roles,” Kim said. “I<br />

can relate to Jasmine- she<br />

and I have a similar sassy<br />

attitude, and I was encouraged<br />

to bring that sass into<br />

my role.”<br />

Updated Max’s Deli menu boasts fresh, healthy options<br />

Megan Bernard<br />

Contributing Editor<br />

Max’s Deli has been a<br />

long-standing establishment<br />

in the North Shore<br />

for more than 25 years.<br />

To be successful for more<br />

years to come, its owner is<br />

revamping the menu with<br />

more health-conscious and<br />

fresh dishes for the future.<br />

Joey Morelli, a trained<br />

chef, and his brother<br />

opened up Joey’s Brickhouse<br />

in Chicago in 2004.<br />

After a seven-year run,<br />

they were ready to take<br />

over their grandfather Bernie<br />

Katz’s business, Max’s<br />

Deli at 191 Skokie Valley<br />

Road in Highland Park.<br />

At first, like the saying<br />

goes, if it wasn’t broke,<br />

they didn’t fix it — so<br />

nothing changed menuwise<br />

at the restaurant.<br />

They did, however, eventually<br />

add a full-service<br />

bakery, so Max’s produces<br />

cupcakes, cookies, pies,<br />

bagels, bailies, among<br />

other baked goods, just<br />

behind the counter made<br />

fresh for customers.<br />

When 22nd Century<br />

Media visited last in 2015,<br />

the deli owners said they<br />

were open to new ideas<br />

and responsive to community<br />

preferences. For<br />

example, we reported that<br />

Max’s rolled out a blueberry<br />

cream cheese that<br />

they said was perfectly<br />

delicious, but the community<br />

didn’t take to it. Later,<br />

the cooks concocted<br />

a jalapeno cream cheese<br />

and it was then one of the<br />

top sellers.<br />

Now, Morelli is ready to<br />

make some more changes<br />

to better the restaurant and<br />

keep up with the times.<br />

Morelli inspires to<br />

turn his “old-school Jewish<br />

deli” into a “fun and<br />

hip” eatery to welcome a<br />

younger crowd and more<br />

families, slightly changing<br />

egg surrounded by a fresh bagel in a flavor of your choosing. Photos By Jacqueline<br />

Glosniak/22nd Century Media<br />

the dynamic from the older<br />

clientele.<br />

“It’s been a process.<br />

There is nothing fun and<br />

hip about Max’s Deli because<br />

it’s been here for<br />

more than 25 years, but to<br />

evolve to the next level,<br />

we are going to have to<br />

reinvent ourselves or we’ll<br />

die,” Morelli said.<br />

The reinvention began<br />

about eight months<br />

ago, Morelli said, when<br />

he switched over the restaurant’s<br />

chicken fingers<br />

on its children’s menu<br />

by trading the “mystery<br />

meat” with tenders from<br />

Harrison’s Chicken, coating<br />

them in extra fine flour<br />

and frying them in clean<br />

canola oil.<br />

“But the kids wanted the<br />

same chicken because they<br />

were so used to it so I had<br />

some backlash,” he said. “I<br />

hesitated and got scared. A<br />

couple months later, I talked<br />

to enough customers<br />

and just said ‘Screw it. If<br />

someone wants to get mad<br />

at me for this then they<br />

will have to just be mad.’”<br />

Max’s Deli<br />

191 Skokie Valley<br />

Road, Highland Park<br />

(847) 831-0600<br />

www.maxs-deli.com<br />

Open 7 a.m.-8:30 p.m.<br />

daily<br />

The revamping spread<br />

to other parts of the deli’s<br />

menu, including the mac<br />

’n’ cheese, which previously<br />

was shipped to the<br />

store with a pre-made<br />

cheese pouch. Now, Morelli<br />

makes the dish homemade<br />

with his own cheese<br />

sauce (quality American<br />

cheese, milk and butter)<br />

and boiled noodles then<br />

melts it all together.<br />

Other new items include:<br />

chicken and waffles,<br />

an egg-in-the-hole bagel, a<br />

turkey burger made from<br />

the scraps of turkey they<br />

roast in-house and a veggie<br />

burger made with 12<br />

different vegetables.<br />

“Our burgers are no longer<br />

brown discs of something,”<br />

Morelli said. “They<br />

are made fresh in our<br />

kitchen with fresh ingredients.<br />

They are on homemade<br />

kaiser rolls, too, that<br />

we bake right here.”<br />

There are now also<br />

gluten-free options, like<br />

bagels, wraps and matzo<br />

crackers. And, there’s a<br />

new crowd-pleaser: makeyour-own<br />

omelets.<br />

When 22nd Century<br />

Media visited again last<br />

week, we sampled some<br />

of Max’s new dishes and<br />

were pleasantly surprised.<br />

The fresh ingredients stood<br />

out and provided flavor to<br />

what could be a bland dish<br />

elsewhere.<br />

We started with the eggin-the-hole<br />

bagel, which<br />

was served sunny-side<br />

up, and a sesame bagel<br />

with lox and chive cream<br />

cheese. The portions were<br />

generous and the bagels<br />

and trimmings were extremely<br />

fresh.<br />

The mac ‘n’ cheese was<br />

next and instantly became<br />

one of our favorites. While<br />

there are so many varieties<br />

of this dish, Max’s nailed<br />

it with its homemade take<br />

Mac ‘n’ cheese at Max’s Deli is a classic homemade<br />

serving of elbow macaroni noodles in a warm and<br />

gooey homemade American cheese sauce.<br />

Chicken tenders at the restaurant are now made with<br />

fresh, all-white meat instead of frozen, GMO chicken<br />

products.<br />

with the creamy, homemade<br />

cheese sauce you’d have as<br />

a side at Thanksgiving.<br />

Another cherished dish<br />

was the grilled cheese<br />

and tomato basil soup,<br />

which replaced canned<br />

Campbell’s tomato soup<br />

in Max’s kitchen, Morelli<br />

said. Any consumer would<br />

be able to tell the sandwich<br />

and soup was thoughtfully<br />

prepared and made inhouse<br />

that day.<br />

We also tried the “controversial”<br />

chicken tenders<br />

and fries, and we<br />

preferred them with the<br />

current fresh, white meat<br />

instead of previous “the<br />

sponge meat,” as Morelli<br />

described it.<br />

Looking forward, along<br />

with the reinvention, Morelli<br />

plans to host a milkshake<br />

bar in the summer<br />

for families and children.<br />

The deli’s ice cream is<br />

supplied by Homer’s Ice<br />

Cream in Wilmette.<br />

“It used to be chemically-enhanced<br />

ice cream,”<br />

Morelli said. “Now we get<br />

natural, local ice cream<br />

from Homer’s and I believe<br />

that’s the future of<br />

this place.<br />

“It’s a battle I still<br />

haven’t figured out. For<br />

me, it’s all about a healthy<br />

and homemade menu so I<br />

hope it works.”

ATHLETE OF THE wEEK<br />

10 Questions<br />

with Alaina Vivian<br />

The New Trier senior is<br />

one of only four seniors<br />

on the varsity girls water<br />

polo team.<br />

When did you start<br />

playing water polo<br />

and why?<br />

I started playing freshman<br />

year after swim season.<br />

I had been a swimmer<br />

my entire life and I was<br />

having a really bad shoulder<br />

injury, so it was best I<br />

stop swimming. I decided<br />

to play water polo in the<br />

spring and loved it.<br />

What’s your favorite<br />

part about water<br />

polo?<br />

I love the swimming<br />

aspect but love that it’s<br />

exciting, there’s action,<br />

it keeps you on your toes<br />

and is fast-paced. It’s a<br />

great game to watch and<br />

be a part of.<br />

Best part bout New<br />

Trier athlete?<br />

We have access to some<br />

great facilities and awesome<br />

coaches. It’s really<br />

fun to be part of a team at<br />

a really, really big school<br />

where there are so many<br />

kids and you get to meet so<br />

many people in that sport<br />

and others you may not<br />

have met otherwise. There<br />

are definitely many girls I<br />

never would have met if it<br />

weren’t for water polo.<br />

If you could play<br />

another sport?<br />

I always wished I was<br />

good at basketball, something<br />

where you have to be<br />

good with your hands and<br />

run fast. I just have horrible<br />

hand-eye coordination.<br />

What’s one thing<br />

people don’t know<br />

about you?<br />

I love cats. Well, my<br />

cats.<br />

What’s one thing<br />

that’s on your bucket<br />

list?<br />

I really want to travel<br />

and go to Antarctica.<br />

If you had one<br />

superpower, what<br />

would it be and why?<br />

To fly. It’d be so cool to<br />

see the world in a different<br />

perspective and be able<br />

to go anywhere whenever<br />

you please.<br />

What’s the hardest<br />

part about water<br />

polo?<br />

Being in the mindset<br />

Photo Submitted<br />

that you have to work a<br />

ton. It’s not just twice a<br />

day, it’s going to hurt and<br />

be tiring but worth it if you<br />

put in the work.<br />

If you could have<br />

dinner with anybody,<br />

who would it be and<br />

why?<br />

A poet named John Keats.<br />

He’s really old but has<br />

really good work. He’s a<br />

weird and interesting guy<br />

and since he lived so long<br />

ago, there’s not a ton we<br />

know about him. I think<br />

it’d be cool to ask him<br />

about his work, what he<br />

thinks about society in the<br />

world and what he thinks<br />

about it today.<br />

What’s the best advice<br />

you’ve ever gotten?<br />

If you’re thinking about<br />

something so much that<br />

it’s consuming you and<br />

you’re worried about it,<br />

it’s not worth it.<br />

Interview by Sports Editor<br />

Michael Wojtychiw<br />

Girls POTY<br />

From Page 49<br />

by Schoenecker picking<br />

up his 200th career victory<br />

this season and his team<br />

winning at least 20 games<br />

in a season for the eighth<br />

time in his 10 years at the<br />

helm.<br />

“During practice, we<br />

work on a lot of different<br />

aspects, we start off with<br />

a ton of shooting, every<br />

single spot on the floor,”<br />

Martinez said. “We work<br />

on our defense, then our<br />

offense. It’s also very<br />

important to know about<br />

the mental aspect of the<br />

game. At the beginning<br />

of the season, we all set a<br />

goal as a team and we try<br />

to get to it and when the<br />

whole team has a goal and<br />

wants to do something, it’s<br />

easier to be on the same<br />

page.”<br />

During the first half of<br />

Loyola’s Jan. 30 contest<br />

against De La Salle, Martinez<br />

broke the school’s<br />

career assist record,<br />

breaking Laura Sobieszczyk’s<br />

record of 507, set in<br />

1999. Martinez now has<br />

over 540 career assists<br />

with a year to go. At her<br />

current pace, she is sure<br />

to get into the top 20 in<br />

the state’s all-time list as<br />

of at the end of last year,<br />

Courtney Musser, a 2004<br />

graduate of Pearl City<br />

High School, had 636 career<br />

assists.<br />

“I didn’t think it (breaking<br />

the school record) was<br />

Vote for Athlete of the Month<br />

Vote online March 10 - 25 at:<br />

wilmettebeacon.com<br />

impossible, because that’s<br />

a very big aspect of my<br />

game - getting my teammates<br />

the ball,” she said.<br />

“It means everything to<br />

me to break the record and<br />

to be a leader. It just shows<br />

that the level of hard work<br />

has started to pay off and<br />

it’s not over yet, I still have<br />

a whole other year to set<br />

the bar pretty high.<br />

“I didn’t think it was<br />

impossible, but I obviously<br />

have to give my<br />

teammates a lot of credit<br />

because they’re the ones<br />

putting the ball in the<br />

basket. It means a lot, it’s<br />

pretty exciting.”<br />

With one more year,<br />

who knows where Martinez<br />

and the Ramblers will<br />

be next season.<br />

Gear up for baseball season with the<br />

latest cleats from New Balance.<br />

Young New Trier team anticipates rebuilding season<br />

Megan Bernard<br />

Contributing Editor<br />

With only a handful of<br />

returning players and two<br />

seniors on its roster, New<br />

Trier softball will undergo<br />

a season of growth this<br />

spring.<br />

“We’re facing a little<br />

uncertainty because we<br />

have a very young team,”<br />

coach John Cadwell said.<br />

“This a team that’s very<br />

young and very contingent<br />

of the freshmen,<br />

sophomores and juniors.”<br />

The Trevians’ season<br />

opened Thursday, March<br />

15, when they faced last<br />

year’s state champions in<br />

Oak Park-River Forest.<br />

New Trier fell 10-0 to the<br />

Huskies.<br />

On the mound for the<br />

first time was senior<br />

pitcher Elisa Nettesheim,<br />

who Cadwell said has<br />

been “outstanding” in the<br />

preseason weeks.<br />

“In our preseason, [Nettesheim<br />

has] been a leader<br />

of the team,” he said.<br />

“She’s really been pushing<br />

the girls and motivating<br />

them to step up their<br />

games and helping them<br />

understand the challenges<br />

of being on the varsity<br />

team. We are really<br />

pleased with her work.”<br />

This is Nettesheim’s<br />

first time in “live action”<br />

this year, Cadwell said,<br />

and “we are really counting<br />

on her to really be effective<br />

as a pitcher.”<br />

Backing Nettesheim<br />

up as the No. 2 pitcher is<br />

sophomore Beth Fisher,<br />

who will also play third<br />

base when she’s not on the<br />

mound.<br />

“She is such a hard<br />

worker and brings such<br />

intensity to her game,”<br />

Cadwell said of Fisher.<br />

“She’s somebody who is<br />

looking to improve every<br />

time she steps onto the<br />

field.”<br />

Other players to look<br />

out for this spring include<br />

sophomore outfielder<br />

Kayla Okninski, who will<br />

play center field after a<br />

successful season playing<br />

in the infield last year.<br />

“Kayla is one of the<br />

best kids we’ve ever had<br />

in the program because<br />

she really makes things<br />

happen offensively for<br />

us,” Cadwell added. “This<br />

year, we are asking her to<br />

step into the role as center<br />

fielder. In our practices,<br />

she has demonstrated<br />

great range with her speed<br />

and an outstanding arm.<br />

Even as a sophomore,<br />

she’s also taken on a leadership<br />

role.”<br />

Cadwell also expects<br />

returning players, like juniors<br />

Abby Carpenter and<br />

Ivy Burck, to make an impression<br />

on the team. Carpenter<br />

will play “any position<br />

that we have a need<br />

for because she’s always<br />

ready to play,” Cadwell<br />

said, and Burck will call<br />

first base home.<br />

“Ivy’s glovework<br />

has been terrific so far<br />

this season,” Cadwell<br />

added.<br />

Team selection was<br />

held Feb. 26, leaving twoand-a-half<br />

weeks of preseason<br />

practice. The Trevians<br />

have not practiced<br />

on their home field yet at<br />

unpredictable weather.<br />

“This is a chance for us<br />

to get in a good groove,”<br />

Cadwell said before the<br />

games.<br />

“It’s going to be a season<br />

of growth. We have a<br />

lot of players that we want<br />

to help develop and move<br />

into their own comfort<br />

zone during the course<br />

of the season. This as an<br />

experience that will help<br />

them develop as individuals<br />

and grow as a team.”<br />

Evan Larson, Jake Silverman,<br />

Justin Ho, Zach Samuelsohn,<br />

Zach Walden, and<br />

Henry Fitzgerald.<br />

“The end of a year is<br />

never easy,” Poulakidas<br />

said. “I’m saying goodbye<br />

to some kids that I’ve been<br />

coaching for twelve years,<br />

so I’ll never see them in<br />

this light again. We spent<br />

285 days together. That’s a<br />

lot of days.<br />

“They’re not ordinary<br />

kids. Look at today’s<br />

world and what they could<br />

be doing instead of playing<br />

hockey, and sacrificing, is<br />

so much easier than what<br />

they come out and put<br />

themselves through. We’re<br />

very appreciative of our<br />

kids. We care about them.”<br />

have to live with it,” Rubin<br />

said, “but we won fiftysix<br />

games, we won three<br />

tournaments, and those are<br />

things we can take away<br />

from this season. It would<br />

have been nice to play<br />

at the United Center but<br />

there’s nothing for us to be<br />

ashamed of at all.”<br />

harris<br />

From Page 48<br />

ris said. “We had a group<br />

of guys that just wanted to<br />

be successful. That’s fun<br />

to be around and that’s a<br />

credit to their character.”<br />

One of Harris’ favorite<br />

parts about the job is helping<br />

these athletes reach<br />

new levels of their game.<br />

Part of the joy of the job<br />

is watching players develop<br />

over their careers and<br />

over the course of the season.<br />

However, part of the<br />

challenge of coaching is<br />

helping players reach the<br />

next level of their game.<br />

“It’s really rewarding to<br />

see players get out of their<br />

comfort zone, because<br />

that’s how they grow,” he<br />

said.<br />

There have been concepts<br />

that the Giants’<br />

coaching staff will work<br />

with players during practice<br />

and to see that translate<br />

on the court during a<br />

game is another highlight<br />

for Harris.<br />

“To see players trust the<br />

coaching that they’re receiving<br />

– that feels really<br />

good,” he said.<br />

Girl’s Basketball Coach of the Year<br />

Lake Forest’s Wilhelm<br />

chosen for inaugural honor<br />

Boys Basketball Coach of the Year<br />

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor<br />

Coaches are often the<br />

needle on a compass that<br />

points players in the right<br />

direction during a long<br />

season.<br />

They string different<br />

players, personalities and<br />

skill sets together into one<br />

cohesive unit. When done<br />

right, the season often<br />

ends in success.<br />

Kyle Wilhelm, the head<br />

coach of Lake Forest High<br />

School’s girls basketball<br />

program, guided a team<br />

punctuated by talented<br />

underclassman and players<br />

who stepped up in the<br />

wake of injury.<br />

The Scouts finished the<br />

season with a 22-10 overall<br />

record and a playoff<br />

run that ended with a loss<br />

to Lake Zurich in the regional<br />

final. Because of<br />

his efforts, the sports staff<br />

at 22nd Century Media<br />

chose Wilhelm as the inaugural<br />

Coach of the Year<br />

for girls basketball.<br />

“I was not expecting<br />

this,” Wilhelm said. “I’m<br />

honored and surprised.<br />

I’m surprised in the sense<br />

that I really respect a lot<br />

of the coaches that I coach<br />

against. I see the time that<br />

everyone puts into preparing<br />

and to be named<br />

Coach of the Year is an<br />

honor.”<br />

Wilhelm, who finished<br />

his seventh year as the<br />

Scouts’ head coach, has<br />

seen his current group of<br />

players grow. The seniors<br />

came into a program that<br />

only won eight games prior<br />

to their freshman year.<br />

In four years, the Scouts’<br />

program is a far cry from<br />

where it began — their<br />

Lake Forest coach David Wilhelm talking to his team<br />

earlier this 2017-18 season. 22ND CENTURY MEDIA FILE<br />

PHOTO<br />

success includes a 2017<br />

regional championship.<br />

“This group, the seniors<br />

in particular, should really<br />

be looking back on their<br />

career and the mark that<br />

they left,” Wilhelm said.<br />

“They just finished (with<br />

season) wins of 17, 13, 23<br />

and 22.”<br />

Wilhelm built his program,<br />

with assistant coach<br />

Reanna Perera, by harnessing<br />

the skills of individual<br />

players and rolling<br />

that into success at the<br />

team level.<br />

Wilhelm had two major<br />

challenges this season.<br />

The first was making up<br />

for the two key players<br />

who graduated. The success<br />

of the season prior<br />

acted as motivation for<br />

this year’s squad and Wilhelm<br />

saw evidence of that<br />

this past summer.<br />

“I think the big thing<br />

was ... they came in really<br />

focused this summer and<br />

really determined to meet<br />

and exceed last year’s performance,”<br />

Wilhelm said.<br />

The seconds, unfortunately,<br />

was making up<br />

for Maeve Summerville’s<br />

absence. Summerville<br />

suffered a season-ending<br />

injury at the end of the<br />

summer session. Wilhelm<br />

had to figure out how to<br />

make up 25-27 points per<br />

game from losing those<br />

three players.<br />

“As the season started,<br />

it was really just challenging<br />

those players to fill the<br />

void that Maeve was leaving,”<br />

he said. “We really<br />

talked about how it wasn’t<br />

going to be one person to<br />

do that. It was really going<br />

to have to be collective<br />

effort, and everyone<br />

was going to have to step<br />

up.”<br />

They didn’t disappoint.<br />

Sophomore point guard<br />

Halle Douglass was one<br />

of the team’s top scorers.<br />

Seniors Jen Whittington<br />

and Audrey Kaus stepped<br />

up in a big way and even<br />

Summerville’s younger<br />

sister, Finola Summerville,<br />

helped fill the gaps.<br />

“Jen Whittington, in<br />

particular, was someone<br />

who didn’t get much play-<br />

Media File Photo<br />

Giants’ Harris named inaugural winner<br />

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor<br />

Simply put, coaches<br />

champion their players.<br />

In a season filled with<br />

inevitable ups and downs,<br />

it is the coach’s job to<br />

keep their teams on task.<br />

When looking at who<br />

did that the best this season<br />

across 22nd Century<br />

Media area teams it was<br />

a hard decision. Programs<br />

like New Trier and Loyola<br />

Academy stand out as<br />

having coaching staffs<br />

that are undoubtably talented.<br />

However, the sports<br />

department looked deeper<br />

into regular-season play<br />

and chose a coach that<br />

helped lift his team from<br />

a shaky start to a team that<br />

finished the regular season<br />

with confidence.<br />

Highland Park High<br />

School’s Paul Harris was<br />

chosen as the inaugural<br />

recipient for the 2018<br />

Coach of the Year.<br />

Harris, who just completed<br />

his 19th year as<br />

head coach with the Giants,<br />

led his team to a<br />

15-11 overall record and<br />

an 8-2 Central Suburban<br />

League North conference<br />

finish after a 0-4 start.<br />

“Our mindset as coaches,<br />

and as a program, was<br />

to try and get the guys to<br />

focus on improvement<br />

and get them to remember<br />

that past success doesn’t<br />

guarantee future success,”<br />

he said.<br />

The team’s start didn’t<br />

define the Giants’ season,<br />

and Harris even celebrated<br />

a personal accomplishment<br />

in January after<br />

nabbing his 300th career<br />

win. However, none of<br />

those accolades are more<br />

important to Harris than<br />

the growth of his team<br />

from summer 2017 until<br />

the end of the season this<br />

year.<br />

“When I think about the<br />

season as a whole, I’m just<br />

really proud of how we<br />

competed,” he said. “This<br />

was a group that set high<br />

standards for themselves.<br />

They looked forward to<br />

playing a tough schedule<br />

and they looked forward<br />

to a lot of challenges<br />

throughout the year.”<br />

Even after a rough start<br />

to the season, going 0-4 at<br />

the St. Viator Thanksgiving<br />

Tournament, the team<br />

held its head high and<br />

knew that the only direction<br />

it could go was up.<br />

“They showed tremendous<br />

resiliency,” Harris<br />

said. “With playing<br />

a tough schedule, we<br />

weren’t going to go undefeated<br />

this year. We knew<br />

that wasn’t going to happen.”<br />

Part of that bounceback<br />

was the willingness of the<br />

group to work as a team,<br />

Harris said. Ziv Tal was<br />

often the go-to player in<br />

games and led the team<br />

in scoring during many<br />

of them. However, the<br />

team’s approach was to<br />

work as a unit, something<br />

Harris instilled in his<br />

players.<br />

“It didn’t really matter<br />

who got the credit,” Har-<br />

is to improve as they get<br />

older, with more experience<br />

and better skills en<br />

route to hopefully earn an<br />

opportunity to play at the<br />

next level, collegiately.<br />

That was the route that<br />

Loyola senior Kevin Cunningham<br />

took during his<br />

four years at Loyola, one<br />

that saw him finish his<br />

Rambler career as 22nd<br />

Century Media’s inaugural<br />

boys basketball Player of<br />

the Year.<br />

Cunningham said he<br />

feels that every season has<br />

been one he’s grown in.<br />

“Freshman year was<br />

tough for me because I<br />

was hurt and didn’t play<br />

the whole year,” he said.<br />

“Sophomore year I got hurt<br />

again and missed a couple<br />

games but since then I’ve<br />

just improved my whole<br />

game. I don’t think there’s<br />

a part of my game that’s<br />

gotten worse or stayed the<br />

same, I think I got stronger,<br />

more aggressive and<br />

became an all-around better<br />

player.”<br />

After having players<br />

like Ramar Evans and Julian<br />

DeGuzman as last<br />

year’s go-to players, Cunningham’s<br />

role changed<br />

this year as a senior, not<br />

only moving over to the<br />

point guard position, but<br />

also becoming the squad’s<br />

primary leader.<br />

“Ramar last year was<br />

our big leader, well and<br />

Julian too, but Ramar was<br />

our captain, really led us<br />

when times got tough,”<br />

Cunningham said. “That<br />

really helped me because I<br />

looked up to him last year<br />

as a leader and he taught<br />

me so much. He had a<br />

great voice, through his<br />

actions and how he played,<br />

he never got rattled; he<br />

was just always on top of<br />

his game.”<br />

The change wasn’t always<br />

easy for Cunningham.<br />

“I think there were some<br />

difficulties adjusting,”<br />

he said, “I had to go over<br />

the plays and make sure I<br />

knew every position, because<br />

I didn’t really know<br />

that one game I could be<br />

playing point guard, the<br />

next at two guard. The<br />

difficulty was being comfortable<br />

with it because I<br />

didn’t play any point guard<br />

last year.”<br />

For the fourth time in<br />

coach Tom Livatino’s nine<br />

years at the Loyola helm,<br />

and second consecutive,<br />

the Ramblers finished with<br />

20 wins and a regional title.<br />

Both of those are hard<br />

to achieve in general, but<br />

the Ramblers play in one<br />

of the tougher conferences<br />

in the state and were in<br />

one of the hardest, if not<br />

the hardest, sectionals this<br />

season.<br />

“[Coach Tom] Livatino<br />

has a great system,” Cunningham<br />

said. “Anybody<br />

who plays for Livatino<br />

has to buy into his system<br />

or else it’ll be hard to get<br />

many minutes. It’s just<br />

the culture he’s built. Our<br />

team revolves around defense,<br />

getting good shots<br />

and not rushing shots. It’s<br />

just buying into the culture<br />

and I think every guy in<br />

the past two years did that.<br />

That leads to success.<br />

“One common misconception<br />

is that Loyola<br />

likes to hold the ball and<br />

keep it low-scoring. If<br />

we have open shots, we<br />

want to take them, but we<br />

want to make sure they’re<br />

good shots. Sometimes,<br />

the ball’s just not falling.<br />

Then on defense, we want<br />

to hold teams in the 30s,<br />

wear them down. If we<br />

can’t get a quick shot in<br />

transition on offense, then<br />

we want to wear a team<br />

Girls basketball Player of the Year<br />

Martinez earns inaugural<br />

award after historic season<br />

Michael Wojtychiw<br />

Sports Editor<br />

For most basketball<br />

teams, the point guard is<br />

another coach on the court.<br />

They’re the ears and<br />

eyes of what’s going on<br />

the hardwood.<br />

Loyola Academy’s point<br />

guard, Julia Martinez, was<br />

that and more for the Ramblers<br />

this season. Thanks<br />

to her efforts, the Loyola<br />

star was named the inaugural<br />

22nd Century Media<br />

girls basketball Player of<br />

the Year.<br />

Martinez knew from a<br />

young age she wanted to<br />

play basketball and it was<br />

all thanks to family.<br />

“I’ve kind of played<br />

basketball my whole life,<br />

but probably started when<br />

I was around kindergarten,”<br />

she said. “I have two<br />

older sisters who played,<br />

and both my parents were<br />

coaches. Ever since I was<br />

younger, I always knew I<br />

wanted to play basketball<br />

and would play against the<br />

older kids.”<br />

The 5-foot-10 junior<br />

from the North Side of<br />

Chicago averaged 9.9<br />

points per game, 7.3 rebounds<br />

per game, 6.7 assists<br />

per game and 2.8<br />

steals a contest, en route<br />

to leading her team to a regional<br />

title and a sectionaltitle<br />

game appearance.<br />

She came to Loyola and<br />

earned a spot on the varsity<br />

team right away, something<br />

not easy to do at a<br />

school like Loyola.<br />

But that didn’t faze Martinez.<br />

“I feel like when I was<br />

younger, I was so confident<br />

in my game, and I love the<br />

game so much,” she said.<br />

Loyola’s Julia Martinez<br />

season. 22nd Century<br />

Media File photo<br />

“I came in doing what I<br />

normally do and actually<br />

wasn’t that nervous when<br />

coach Schoenecker said<br />

my name for the first game<br />

my freshman year. I was<br />

more excited than nervous,<br />

I’ve always loved playing<br />

against the big, older kids<br />

because it’s more competition<br />

and I’m very competitive.<br />

I was very thankful<br />

for the opportunity.”<br />

Point guards are usually<br />

one of two kinds, ones that<br />

are a true point guard, and<br />

pass the ball to their teammates<br />

before anything<br />

else, or a scoring point<br />

guard who isn’t afraid to<br />

put up shot after shot.<br />

“I’d probably say I’m a<br />

pass-first mentality point<br />

guard,” Martinez said.<br />

“I look to find my teammates,<br />

looking upcourt<br />

to see who’s open, giving<br />

my teammates the ball.<br />

My teammates do a really<br />

great job of finding an<br />

open shot and being ready<br />

to shot or attack once I get<br />

them the ball and do my<br />

job.”<br />

Colleges have taken notice<br />

of Martinez doing her<br />

job and she’s racked up 12<br />

scholarship offers from<br />

Division I schools, and on<br />

Friday, March 14, committed<br />

to play at Saint Louis<br />

University starting in the<br />

fall of 2019.<br />

“I don’t want to go too<br />

far from home,” Martinez<br />

said. “I really need to<br />

feel good with my coach.<br />

I’m a point guard, so I’m<br />

an extended coach on the<br />

court so I feel it’s really<br />

important to have a good<br />

relationship with your<br />

coaches.<br />

“The biggest aspect is<br />

for me to feel comfortable,<br />

where I see myself, where<br />

I can see myself walking<br />

from class to class to practice<br />

and to the gym. Being<br />

able to feel comfortable<br />

there and where I can be<br />

who I am and not someone<br />

somebody else wants me to<br />

be.”<br />

But before she gets ready<br />

to head off to college, she<br />

has one year to help the<br />

Ramblers continue to move<br />

further into the playoffs,<br />

something they’ve done<br />

three consecutive seasons<br />

now. The team made it to<br />

the sectional final this year,<br />

after losing in the sectional<br />

semifinal last season and<br />

the regional final the two<br />

years prior. Loyola has<br />

had a lot of success during<br />

her tenure, witnessed<br />

Loyola Gold advances to state final with close win<br />

Gary Larsen<br />

Freelance reporter<br />

Loyola Academy’s<br />

hockey team raucously<br />

crowded its way into to its<br />

locker room at the Edge<br />

Ice Arena in Bensenville,<br />

carried by the euphoria of<br />

a 2-1 win over Glenbrook<br />

North in a state semifinal<br />

game.<br />

The Ramblers are going<br />

to the United Center<br />

to play in a state title game<br />

for the first time since<br />

2010.<br />

“It’s a dream,” Loyola<br />

forward Brock Huber said.<br />

“Ever since I was little it’s<br />

what I’ve wanted to do.<br />

It’s just a dream.”<br />

Huber’s goal at the<br />

buzzer to end the second<br />

period, on a 2-on-1 feed<br />

from Daniel Stevens,<br />

broke a 1-1 tie and stood<br />

up as the game-winner on<br />

March 12. Loyola next<br />

takes on Stevenson in the<br />

state title game on March<br />

24.<br />

Stevens scored the<br />

game’s first goal on a Huber<br />

assist in the first period,<br />

and the Spartans tied<br />

the game in the second on<br />

a Kevin Koren goal and<br />

assists from David Rubin<br />

and Jacob Crane.<br />

Since Loyola Gold won<br />

a state title in 1996, the<br />

program has finished second<br />

in Illinois seven times<br />

and hasn’t been in the title<br />

game since 2010.<br />

Ramblers coach DJ La-<br />

Varre was there for every<br />

one of those state finals,<br />

so he knows how special<br />

it is for a team to get that<br />

chance.<br />

“It’s just a great accomplishment<br />

for those<br />

kids in the locker room,”<br />

LaVarre said. “It’s that<br />

experience that you really<br />

want these kids to enjoy,<br />

to have an opportunity to<br />

play where they see their<br />

legends play, at the United<br />

Center.<br />

“I’m just so happy that<br />

they get to experience this.<br />

It’s the opportunity of a<br />

lifetime.”<br />

Fifty feet down the hall<br />

from the Ramblers’ celebration,<br />

Glenbrook North<br />

was dealing with the pain<br />

that comes with every<br />

postseason loss.<br />

“I talked with the guys<br />

and I thought we played<br />

all 51 minutes tonight,”<br />

Loyola Gold forward Daniel Stevens had a goal and an assist in the Ramblers’ win<br />

over Glenbrook North March 12 in Bensenville. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media<br />

Rubin said. “That’s all<br />

you can ask. There’s some<br />

tears in the locker room<br />

and not because of how<br />

we played, but mostly because<br />

we’ve been together<br />

so long and we’re not going<br />

to see each other in this<br />

setting again.”<br />

Glenbrook North was<br />

PLUMBING MADNESS!<br />

the only team to win twice<br />

against Loyola Gold,<br />

which won five of their<br />

seven meetings this year.<br />

The Ramblers scored with<br />

6:32 left in the first period<br />

on Tuesday and the Spartans<br />

tied the game early in<br />

the second period.<br />

The game’s most exciting<br />

goal came in the<br />

waning seconds of the<br />

second period, when Stevens<br />

swept up the left side<br />

with the puck and crossed<br />

a pass to Huber near the<br />

goalmouth.<br />

“(Stevens) put it in a<br />

great spot,” Huber said,<br />

“And I just put it in.”<br />

Spartans goalie Tyler<br />

Laarveld shined throughout<br />

and finished with 36<br />

saves, while Ramblers<br />

goalie Hugh Brady made<br />

14 saves in the win as<br />

Loyola held firm throughout<br />

the third period.<br />

Afterwards, LaVarre<br />

emerged from the locker<br />

room carrying a replica of<br />

a prize-fight belt, which in<br />

team tradition is typically<br />

handed from one playerof-the-game<br />

winner to the<br />

next.<br />

After Tuesday’s win,<br />

previous belt holder Jack<br />

Purcell awarded the belt to<br />

LaVarre.<br />

“The team played well<br />

but (LaVarre) hasn’t been<br />

there in a while, so that’s<br />

special,” Huber said.<br />

The Ramblers will play<br />

a Stevenson team that won<br />

3-2 over Glenbrook South<br />

in Tuesday’s first semifinal.<br />

“They play strong,<br />

hard, aggressive hockey,”<br />

LaVarre said of Stevenson.<br />

“I think we have the<br />

type of team that can play<br />

any style … so it’s going<br />

to be an interesting<br />

New Trier shuts down Highland Park in win<br />

Michael Wojtychiw<br />

Sports Editor<br />

22ND CENTURY MEDIA FILE PHOTO<br />

1st-and-3<br />

THREE ATHLETES OF<br />

THE WEEK<br />

1. Hugh Brady<br />

(above). The Loyola<br />

Gold goalie allowed<br />

only one goal in<br />

the Ramblers’ AHAI<br />

Blackhawk Cup<br />

semifinal 2-1 win<br />

over Glenbrook<br />

North.<br />

2. Lauren Voss. The<br />

Loyola girls water<br />

polo player scored<br />

22 goals in six<br />

games, leading<br />

the Ramblers to<br />

an undefeated 6-0<br />

record, including<br />

4-0 in the Windy<br />

City Water Polo<br />

Classic. Sixteen<br />

of the goals<br />

came during that<br />

tournament and<br />

two of the six wins<br />

were against rivals<br />

New Trier and St.<br />

Ignatius.<br />

3. Lilly Frentzel. The<br />

New Trier soccer<br />

player scored her<br />

first career goal<br />

against Highland<br />

Park Saturday,<br />

March 17.<br />

The beginning of a season<br />

can always be a tricky<br />

one. Teams try out new<br />

formations, new lineups,<br />

a little bit of everything, to<br />

see what can make them a<br />

better team and be able to<br />

put points, or in soccer’s<br />

case, goals, on the scoreboard.<br />

Both New Trier and<br />

Highland Park were playing<br />

only their second game<br />

of the young season on<br />

Saturday, March 17, in<br />

Northfield and fittingly,<br />

on St. Patrick’s Day, the<br />

team wearing green, New<br />

Trier, would come out on<br />

top 2-0.<br />

The Trevians (2-0) managed<br />

to do it with a little<br />

bit of everything, solid<br />

defense, executing the offense<br />

to where it would<br />

give them a chance to<br />

score goals, and keeping<br />

their opponent at bay.<br />

They did so much so, that<br />

the Giants (0-2) weren’t<br />

able to pick up a shot on<br />

goal the entire game.<br />

“I think we got a little bit<br />

better from our first game,<br />

in terms of trying to organize<br />

and help each other<br />

out,” New Trier coach Jim<br />

Burnside said. “We always<br />

talk to our kids about doing<br />

their job and also doing<br />

33 percent of somebody<br />

else’s job.<br />

“So anybody that is<br />

marking somebody knows<br />

New Trier’s Emma Weaver makes a move on a Highland Park defender Saturday, March 17, in Northfield. Michael<br />

Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media.<br />

they have that extra piece<br />

behind them. Our experience<br />

in the back with<br />

Sydney (Parker), Meredith<br />

(Nassar) and Caroline (Iserloth)<br />

helped a ton.”<br />

While it was New Trier<br />

that came out on top,<br />

Highland Park and its<br />

coach Kate Straka were<br />

happy with how the team<br />

played, especially defensively<br />

for the majority of<br />

the first half.<br />

“Defensively, I think Jamie<br />

Stern, who we pulled<br />

back to play left back from<br />

her previous defensive<br />

center mid position, she<br />

was all over the place,”<br />

Straka said. “She played<br />

middle, she played right,<br />

she was all over the place<br />

and was strong in the back<br />

for us. Her teammates fed<br />

off of that.”<br />

After not getting much<br />

going offensively early in<br />

the first half, sophomore<br />

Emma Weaver took a ball<br />

down the right side of the<br />

field and hit a rocket that<br />

went in the far bottom corner,<br />

giving the hosts a 1-0<br />

lead with 11 minutes, 39<br />

seconds left in the opening<br />

half.<br />

The goal breathed some<br />

life into the Trevians, but<br />

they weren’t able to put<br />

another one into the back<br />

of the net before the half<br />

ended.<br />

While the Giants’ defense<br />

was doing a good<br />

job putting the clamps on<br />

the Trevians, their offense<br />

was sputtering.<br />

“They’re so strong in the<br />

back,” Straka said about the<br />

Trevians defense. “They’re<br />

big, strong, composed and<br />

faster than us. We tried to<br />

outplay them with heart<br />

and grit but they’re just a<br />

quality soccer team and<br />

worked it a lot better up top<br />

than we did.”<br />

The Trevians added an<br />

insurance goal when junior<br />

Lilly Frentzel knocked in<br />

a rebound off of a Nicole<br />

Kaspi shot with 18:51 remaining<br />

in the game. The<br />

goal was the first of Frentzel’s<br />

varsity career.<br />

“It was honestly incredible,<br />

I was so flustered<br />

with so many ideas going<br />

on in my head but my<br />

first thought was ‘me. I<br />

need to do what I’m supposed<br />

to be doing, but at<br />

the same time not think<br />

about myself and just play<br />

the game,’” Frentzel said.<br />

“As soon as I got the ball,<br />

I saw Nicole’s going and<br />

knew I was going to have<br />

her back. She didn’t get it<br />

and I had her back. I took it<br />

upon myself to try to make<br />

an impact.”<br />

Despite her team not<br />

scoring a goal through its<br />

first two games, Straka is<br />

excited for the upcoming<br />

season and knew she and<br />

her squad could take a<br />

lot from the game against<br />

one of the top teams in the<br />

state.<br />

“At the end of the game,<br />

we talked about raising<br />

the bar higher for us,” she<br />

said. “We took away confidence<br />

that we can be competitive<br />

against one of the<br />

top teams in the state and<br />

that we can be in the game.<br />

“We also have to put<br />

some shots on goal to be<br />

able to improve our competitive<br />

nature.”<br />
