Lake Forest District 67 Board of Education 

National School Walkout Day continues to be key topic 

Katie Copenhaver 

Freelance Reporter 

Superintendent Mike 

Simeck’s started the recent 

District 67 meeting by 

talking about the March 14 

National School Walkout, 

which Lake Forest students 

participated in. 

He noted that it might 

not have seemed like a big 

deal to have students walk 

out of schools for 17 minutes, 

but rather it was “an 

extraordinarily complex 

undertaking.” 

At the March 20 meeting, 

Simeck said that district 

administration sought legal 

advice before the walkout 

to be sure the schools were 

properly prepared. 

The advice they received 

centered around eight 

points of preparedness, 

which Simeck was pleased 

to report the schools had 

already done. These included 

being proactive, 

coordinating with local law 

enforcement, developing a 

plan for students who did 

not choose to participate 

and communicating with 

parents and students about 

what to expect on the walkout 

day. 

He also took the time to 

address a few frequently 

asked questions that had 

come to district administration 

in advance of the 

March 14 event. 

The first question was 

whether students have free 

speech while at school. The 

answer to that, he explained, 

is in the key of the Supreme 

Court case of Tinker vs. Des 

Moines, 1965. The case 

focused on students who 

came to school one day 

wearing black armbands 

in protest of the Vietnam 

War, and they were either 

sent home or were expelled. 

The Supreme Court ruled 

in favor of the students 

and said students do have 

First-Amendment rights at 

school but “they are limited 

by the level of disruption 

their speech creates.” 

Another question was 

whether staff have free 

speech at school. The answer 

from the National 

Education Association, the 

largest teachers’ union in 

the United States, is no. 

Their guidelines state that 

teachers are not free to 

speak politically while on 

school grounds or while 

working on school time. 

Simeck also reported that 

the annual National School 

Climate Survey is currently 

being administered within 

the district. Participation 

from staff and students is 

strong while participation 

from parents continues to 

be a struggle. 

“We are somewhere at 

or near the single digits [in 

percentage of parent participation],” 

he said, acknowledging 

the main complaint 

they got from parents was 

the survey is time consuming 

and seemingly repetitive 

in the questions it asks. 

Liaison Reports 

Board Member Tom 

Ford, who serves as the 

district’s legislative liaison, 

reported on activities of the 

Illinois General Assembly. 

“Discussions continue 

both in public and behind 

closed doors on the hot topics 

of school safety, teacher 

shortages and the Fiscal 

Year 2019 state budget,” 

he said. “Despite those 

most pressing topics facing 

public education today, 

lawmakers continue with 

the onslaught of proposals 

that would place new, burdensome 

mandates on local 

school districts.” 

He said lawmakers are 

talking of adding instruction 

in emotional intelligence, 

civics, historic contributions 

of gay, lesbian, 

bisexual and transgendered 

people, safe walking and 

biking, computer science 

and black history. They are 

also proposing new staff 

training requirements in 

suicide prevention, mental 

health, homelessness 

awareness, students with 

special needs and open water 

safety training. In addition, 

there are discussions 

of new trauma protocols 

and trauma response plans 

for school administrators. 

“All of these things are 

fantastic,” Ford said. “But 

how to pay for them and 

how to fit them in a day 

are going to be decided 

in Springfield, and we’re 

looking forward to what 

they are going to come up 

with.”

Sands reported on the 

March 14 North Suburban 

Special Education District 

meeting she attended. In 

February, she told the D67

Lake Forest to conduct flood study as rainy season approaches 

Xavier Ward 

Contributing Editor 

Following a bout of 

heavy rain in February, 

the City of Lake Forest is 

partnering with a number 

of area communities and 

organizations to conduct a 

flood study. 

The study is an update to 

a 1983 study conducted by 

the Army Corps of Engineers, 

which the City will 

partner with for this study, 

too. 

In July 2017, Lake Forest 

and many other North 

Shore communities experienced 

roughly six 

inches of rain in a short 

period of time, flooding 

homes and streets and 

leaving many residents 

with moderate to severe 

damages, The Leader reported 

in August 2017. 

“Rainfall like this 

doesn’t happen that often. 

We often hear about 

a 100-year storm, which 

means that a storm doesn’t 

wait for every 100 years 

to come around, as there’s 

just a one percent chance 

of that storm occurring in 

that location in any given 

year,” The Leader reported 

from a Lake County release. 

To address these concerns, 

the City partnered 

with the City of Highland 

Park, the City of Deerfield, 

Lake County Storm 

Water Management, East 

Skokie Drainage District 

and the Army Corps. 

City officials did not respond 

to The Leader’s request 

for comment prior to 

deadline. 

MAKE THIS YEAR’S MASTERS 

AN HISTORIC EVENT 

The viaduct under Route 176 in Lake Bluff closed after the July 2017 storm due to 

water that was almost as high as the 13-foot, 9-inch bridge. 

“Lake Forest is 20 or 

21 square miles and to get 

six inches (in eight hours), 

that is an enormous volume 

of water that needs to 

go somewhere in a short 

period of time,” Lake Forest 

Mayor Robert Lansing 

said in July 2017. “We all 

need to be careful. It was a 

very unusual storm in this 

part of the world. There is 

going to be water everywhere.” 

Lake Forest, and the 

other communities involved, 

hope to negate 

the chance of widespread 

flooding like before, closing 

roads and inundating 

homes with water. 

The total cost of the 

study is roughly $67,000, 

half of which the Army 

Corps will pay for, the rest 

is divided between the participating 

municipalities 

and organizations. 

According to the Army 

Corps, it conducts these 

studies at a 50 percent 

federal cost. This allows 

municipalities to explore 

what the options are for 

flood-impact reduction. 

“For the [Army Corps] 

to be involved in a 

flood reduction project, 

we usually have to have 

a positive benefit cost ratio,” 

said Imad Sammara, 

a project manager with the 

Army Corps. 

The Army Corps will 

update existing information 

from the 1983 study 

while simultaneously 

conducting an economic

The Ross family, Lake 

Forest 

Sadie is a pure-bread 

Great Dane recently 

rescued from a shelter

breeding dog in southern Illinois and was dropped 

off at a kill shelter, weighing only 87 pounds. She 

is now a healthy 115 pounds and has a wonderful 

temperament, especially with children. Sadie is 

an especially amazing dog considering her very 

difficult upbringing, yet she is kind, gentle, loves to 

sleep in the sun and run laps around the backyard. 

She has been through the ringer in life, from prior 

abuse to surviving doggie breast cancer, but is 

enjoying her sunset years.

analysis of structures in 

the area. 

If the potential cost to 

the area is greater than the 

cost of mitigation measures, 

the Corps can involve 

itself, Sammara said. 

“The model is calibrated 

by actual events,” he said. 

“The damages control the 

amount of dollars we can 

spend on a project.” 

The impact analysis is 

modeled after damage reports 

from previous floods, 

compiled from information 

collected by agencies 

such as the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 

or FEMA. 

“Basically here, we’re 

taking existing information, 

we’re updating a few 

things on the hydrology 

and hydraulics, and are taking 

that information and 

getting an economical output 

out of that to see if there 

are damages,” he said. 

The study would examine 

flooding along the 

Skokie River and the North 

Branch Chicago River. 

“Water does not just go 

to one community and stop 

there, you have to look at a 

bigger footprint so you can 

make a lot more sense out 

of the information you are 

[given],” Sammara said. 

Mitigation efforts will 

depend on the results of 

the study, Sammara said. 

If the damages are severe 

enough, the Army Corps 

can build structures such 

as levees to reduce flooding 

in the case of a severe 

rain event. 

The study will take 

roughly nine months to 

complete, Sammara said. It 

should begin in late April.

Lake Bluff-Lake Forest Kiwanis Club celebrates 95 years 

Submitted by Lake Bluff- 

Lake Forest Kiwanis Club 

The Lake Bluff-Lake 

Forest Kiwanis Club was 

founded 95 years ago on 

March 15, 1923, eight 

years following the inauguration 

of Kiwanis in 

Detroit. By 1923, the organization 

already had 839 

clubs in the U.S. and Canada 

and 53 in Illinois. In 

1919, Kiwanis established 

a service-oriented mission 

and today’s motto, “Serving 

the Children of the 

World” is relevant in the 

more than 80 nations and 

geographic areas in which 

it exists. 

The Lake Bluff–Lake 

Forest Club has been following 

that mission ever 

since then – but on a much 

smaller geography. Today 

the club has 23 members 

– including seven women, 

something which was not 

permitted before 1987. 

Each club can set its own 

objectives and Lake Bluff- 

Lake Forest has focused 

much of it’s attention on 

Cherie Hrusovsky (left to right), of GLASA, Julia Tanna, 

David Lee and Maureen Biedermann, all of Kiwanis and 

Tom Daly, of GLASA, pose for a photo after the Kiwanis 

Club donated $10,000 to GLASA for adaptive-support 

purchases. Photo Submitted 

supporting other worthy 

local charitable non-profits 

whose goals match those 

of the club – supporting 

the needs of children in our 

community. Right now, 

approximately 15 organizations 

in the Lake Bluff, 

Lake Forest, North Chicago 

and Lake County receive 

annual contributions 

from the Club such as 

Reading Power, Mother’s 

Trust Foundation, CROYA, 

Zacharias, and the Boys 

and Girls Club. 

Historically, the funds 

provided have been obtained 

mainly through the 

Pancake Breakfasts done 

three times a year – once 

at the Lake Bluff & Lake 

Forest Fourth of July Parade 

and twice at Breakfast 

with Santa event at Grace 

United Methodist Church 

in Lake Bluff and the First 

Presbyterian Church in 

Lake Forest. The Fourth 

of July Pancake Breakfast 

is in its 47th year and 

now includes a Cookout 

and activities following 

the parade. Ted Anderson 

of the James Anderson 

Company (opened in 

Lake Forest in 1891 and 

now in Lake Bluff), who 

was Club president in 

1961, said that before the 

Pancake Breakfasts were 

started, the club had very 

little funding to provide to 

needy local organizations. 

Ted Anderson’s son, James 

Anderson, a member since 

1995, said that the income 

from the Breakfasts made 

a big difference and it was 

the teamwork of the members 

that made it successful 

– and 100 percent of 

the food and supplies for 

the breakfasts are donated 

by local retailers. 

In the past year, the Club 

has also been focusing on 

distinct projects. Last fall, 

backpacks with books inside 

were provided to 125 

kindergartners in the North 

Chicago School District 

187 – and this will be an 

annual event. Funding for 

four SMART Boards was 

given to the Lake Bluff 

Preschool. 

Financing was provided 

to the Lake Bluff Middle 

School for a handicapped 

ramp and chairs and instruments 

for the band 

program. And, just this 

month, funds were given 

to GLASA to purchase 

an adaptive track and allcourt 

chairs for sports activities 

for handicapped 

children at Lake Forest 

High School. 

All this gets accomplished 

through the efforts 

of the Club’s 23 members 

– some of whom have a 

long history with Kiwanis 

as well as with the local 

community. 

Pete Porett, former owner 

of Lake Bluff Hardware, 

has been a member for 

45 years and was instrumental 

in bringing in John 

Harvey, former owner of 

Harvey Furniture – also a 

long-time member. Their 

recollections over the years 

focus on the “team spirit” 

of members getting together 

to put on events such as 

the Fourth of July Pancake 

Breakfast – bringing in 

funds to then disburse to 

needy organizations in the 

community. Almost all of 

the current members have 

roots in Lake Bluff and 

Lake Forest and this makes 

the club more like a family 

according to Porett. David 

Lee, the current Club and 

Foundation President and 

a member for 21 years, is 

proud of how the club has 

grown in membership in 

just the past five years – 

all volunteers devoted to a 

worthy cause. 

Kiwanis members will 

be collecting contributions 

at the corners of Route 

176 and Green Bay Road 

as part of Candy Days. 

Those donations, for 95 

years, have gone to helping 

needy children in surrounding 

communities.

Citadel Theatre education program helps develop acting skills in children 

Submitted by Citadel 

Theatre 

For the past 15 years, 

Citadel Theatre has 

brought great theater to 

the northern suburbs. In 

addition, Citadel also offers 

a K-12 theater education 

program that provides 

a safe, nurturing 

environment for children 

to not only explore the 

ins and outs of the performing 

arts, but also 

develop lifelong skills of 

self-confidence and teamwork 

while fostering lasting 

friendships with other 

children in their community. 

Sometimes, even 

providing the spark and 

skills necessary for these 

young thespians to go on 

to pursue professional acting 

opportunities. 

Take for example, Luke 

and Emiko Chichester, 

who have gone from Citadel 

acting classes back in 

the Fall of 2016 to performing 

on Citadel’s professional 

mainstage (in the 

world premiere musical, 

“Scrooge and the Ghostly 

Spirits”), to now pursuing 

other acting gigs throughout 

the Chicagoland area. 

“From the first class at 

Citadel, it was fun,” Luke 

Chichester said. 

“Through each class I 

became better and better 

until I was good enough to 

be in a professional play,” 

Emiko Chichester said. “It 

also helped me with self 

confidence such as making 

more friends at school. 

And, I wasn’t scared to 

make presentations at 

school.” 

Before getting involved 

in Citadel’s Education program, 

both children had 

little acting experience 

and only appeared in a few 

small roles at school. 

“The classes grew my 

passion for acting,” Emiko 

Chichester said. 

Their mother, Sharon, 

was pleased by their experience. 

“The Citadel Education 

Program nurtured Luke 

and Emiko’s love for being 

on stage,” Sharon 

Chichester said. “The experience 

with Scrooge really 

reinforced their passion 

for theater.” 

After taking a few Citadel 

Theatre acting classes 

and having appeared in 

Citadel’s professional production 

of Scrooge, both 

Luke and Emiko Chichester 

will be trying out for 

Fremont Theatre’s “Mary 

Poppins” in June. And according 

to their mother 

all of this confidence and 

passion for theater started 

with that first class they 

took at Citadel less than 2 

years ago. 

If you know someone 

who would like to experience 

the joy of theatre, Citadel 

Theater is currently 

enrolling for its two summer 

camps: “Peter Pan” 

for first through fourthgraders 

and “Mary Poppins” 

fifth-graders through 

sophomores. 

The camps will be held 

at the kid-friendly confines 

of CROYA at the Lake 

Forest Recreation Center. 

Camps run 9 a.m.-3 p.m. 

Monda-Friday June 11- 

July 13. Camps emphasize 

fun with lots of activities, 

running around, dancing, 

and singing. 

Final performances of 

“Peter Pan” and “Mary 

Poppins” will appear on 

Citadel Theatre’s mainstage 

in Lake Forest where 

the campers will perform 

in front of adoring fans of 

family and friends.

New science building at LFC offers functionality for students, teachers 

Alyssa Groh, Editor 

As teaching methods 

change to support more 

interactive learning, the 

classrooms and facilities 

inside the science center 

at Lake Forest College required 

updates. 

The new center, which 

will now be called the Lilard 

Science Center, was named 

after John and Paula Lillard, 

of Lake Forest, do donated 

money for the project. 

The center will see a 

newly constructed building 

and updates to the older 

wings. 

The new building officially 

opened to students 

and teachers for the spring 

2018 semester. The building 

will be home to more 

than 70 labs. 

Douglas Light, a science 

professor and liaison of 

the project, said students 

and teachers alike are impressed 

with the changes. 

“We have gotten high 

praise regarding the new 

building,” Light said. “A 

lot of people are thinking, 

‘Why didn’t we do this earlier?’ 

It is not just the newness 

of the building, it is 

more than that. It is the way 

the space is designed. It really 

supports the things we 

are trying to do.” 

When renovations first 

began, the original vision 

was to improve the facility 

to support more learning. 

“We wanted an infrastructure 

that is going to 

support the science of 

teaching using modern 

pedagogies,” Light said. 

The biggest difference 

in the new and updated 

facilities is the way the 

classrooms offer interactive 

and movable learning. 

The updated classrooms 

offer easy to move tables 

to redesign space for a variety 

of groups. 

From the very beginning 

the professors were 

involved in every step of 

the process. 

Chemistry Professor 

Dawn Wiser said one of the 

things the professors strived 

for in the new design of 

classrooms was developing 

classrooms that catered to 

each specific class. 

Designing rooms for 

specific classes, such as 

physics and chemistry, 

gives teachers the ability 

to utilize the room and 

technology according to 

the curriculum. 

One of the most important 

things she and Light 

mentioned was the ability 

for interdisciplinary classes 

to combine. 

The new center will now 

be home to seven different 

programs including biology, 

chemistry, physics, 

There are more than 70 science labs inside the new Lillard Science Center at Lake Forest College, which opened in 

January. PHOTO Submitted by Lake Forest College 

“We have gotten high praise regarding the new building. ... It is 

not just the newness of the building, it is more than that. It is the 

way the space is designed. It really supports the things we are trying 

to do.”

College. 

psychology, environmental 

studies, neuroscience biochemistry 

and molecular 

biology. 

Light noted the importance 

of having a variety of 

disciplines in one building. 

“We have a brand new 

building that increased 

the size of the building by 

about 50 percent,” Light 

said. “Part of that increase 

in size is not just to deal 

with the demand in science 

by students, but we are 

also bringing other departments 

over. That is important 

as there will be some 

interdisciplinary between 

different departments.” 

As part of the interdisciplinary, 

many of the 

new labs are divided by 

a wall with a large glass 

window so students can 

see what others are doing, 

and collaborate and learn 

from one another. 

The project will officially 

be completed following 

renovations to the older 

wings by the start of the 

2018-19 school year.

the new space, visit www.

D-67 

From Page 3 

Board that the North Shore 

Special Education District 

is facing an almost $5 million 

deficit with a drop of 

68.5 FTE students because 

some of the member districts 

are taking back classroom 

instruction. Sands 

said at the March meeting 

theNorth Shore Special 

Education District administration 

presented the second 

draft of the 2018-19 

budget in which they eliminated 

that deficit. 

“They really went to 

the mat,” she said. “They 

looked at all of their programs 

in depth. They did it 

in cooperation with member 

districts and really getting 

their heads around exactly 

what NSSED (North 

Shore Special Education 

District) is going to be, 

coming from all the member 

districts, and looking at 

ways they could gain efficiencies 

to get that done.” 

Sands added that the 

North Shore Special Education 

District now needs 

to look at their facilities, 

and they will present the 

third draft of their budget at 

the next meeting. 

Committee Reports 

Board Member Jeff 

Folker reported that Renee 

Fitzsimmons updated 

the Education Committee 

on the implementation of 

social emotional learning 

standards into D67. There 

are five social emotional 

learning competencies that 

need to be worked into 

the District’s curriculum 

within a two-to-three year 

time frame, mandated by 

the State of Illinois. 

The Education Committee 

is also working on some 

new technology initiatives 

which include replacing the 

current free learning management 

software system 

in use at Deer Path Middle 

School with either Google 

Classroom or Schoology. 

Both would come at an additional 

cost, but provide 

advantages over the current 

system. Folker said Schoology 

has the other advantage 

that it is in use at Lake Forest 

High School, so the middle 

school students would 

have a seamless transition. 

Ford also reported on 

the most recent Finance 

and Operations Committee 

meeting at which Jennifer 

Hermes and Brittany 

Tjardes presented a detailed 

review of the current 2017- 

18 budget. The good news 

is the District is ahead of 

budget, but that is subject 

to change in the event of 

an unexpected occurrence. 

Ford said the next committee 

meeting will be June 

20 at which Hermes and 

Tjardes will preview the 

budget for 2018-19.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Bloodied burglar found 

on train after fleeing 

Kenilworth 

Davontay Thomas, 

20, of Chicago, was arrested 

and charged with 

burglary, attempt to 

disarm a peace officer 

and two counts of aggravated 

battery to a peace 

officer following a series 

of events during the overnight 

hours of Wednesday, 

March 28, that ended at 

the Metra station in Evanston. 

The Kenilworth and 

Wilmette police departments 

issued joint statements 

on what led to the 

arrest. 

According to Kenilworth, 

an officer initiated 

a traffic stop at 11:48 

p.m. Tuesday, March 27, 

on Sheridan Road at Kenilworth 

Avenue. The officer 

spoke with the driver, 

later identified as Thomas, 

and four passengers, one 

of which was a 4-yearold 

child. Thomas allegedly 

failed to produce 

identification and fled in 

the vehicle westbound on 

Kenilworth Avenue from 

Sheridan Road at a high 

rate of speed. 

A pursuit was not initiated 

because it was a 

minor traffic violation 

and consideration of the 

child passenger’s safety. 

Officers discovered the 

vehicle approximately 

five minutes later, parked 

at Roslyn Road and 

Melrose Avenue in Kenilworth. 

Thomas had fled 

on foot prior to the officer’s 

arrival, but all four 

passengers remained near 

the vehicle. 

According to Wilmette 

Police, an auto repair shop 

in the 1200 block of Green 

Bay Road, near where the 

Kenilworth suspect was 

last seen, had been broken 

into. 

A short time later, at 

4:57 a.m., a Wilmette officer 

observed a subject 

on the southbound Metra 

commuter train matching 

the description of the driver 

from the Kenilworth incident. 

Wilmette officers 

ordered the train to stop 

and boarded at Central 

Avenue in Evanston.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Park commissioners 

approve 2018 budget 

ordinance 

The Northbrook Park 

District Board approved 

the District’s annual budget 

and appropriation of 

funds at its Wednesday, 

March 28 meeting. The 

budget covers fiscal year 

2018 beginning Jan. 1, 

2018, and ending Dec. 31, 

2018. 

The Park District is 

forecasting $21.4 million 

in operating revenue for 

fiscal year 2018. Property 

taxes total $10.8 million 

and represents the largest 

source of revenue for the 

District. 

Based on a median 

home value of $553,400, 

a Northbrook resident is 

expected to pay approximately 

$657 in property 

taxes to the Park District 

in 2018. 

Expenditures total 

$21.9 million and includes 

more than $3.5 

million in capital projects. 

The 2018 capital budget 

includes $250,000 in 

planning and design costs 

for future indoor programming 

space at Techny 

Prairie Park and Fields 

and $350,000 for renovations 

at Sportsman’s Golf 

Course. These projects are 

part of the District’s 2018- 

2022: New Places to Play 

Initiative. The combined 

annual budget and appropriation 

ordinance appropriates 

the monies that 

are necessary to cover the 

projected expenses and 

liabilities the District expects 

to incur in the next 

fiscal cycle. 

“The budget and appropriation 

ordinance 

creates a ceiling on the 

Park District’s expenditures 

during the fiscal 

period and therefore is 

structured to include appropriations 

of every dollar 

that can reasonably be 

anticipated to be received 

and spent,” Board President 

Penny Randel said.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Longtime Glenview 

resident remembers his 

roots until the end 

From humble beginnings, 

raised as the 

youngest of 10 orphans 

by a foster mother, Harry 

Kloeppel went on to become 

a successful businessman, 

loving family 

man and generous contributor 

to society. 

Kloeppel, a longtime 

Glenview resident, died 

March 26 at age 87. 

After graduating from 

Marquette University, 

Kloeppel joined the U.S. 

Marines and was stationed 

in the Pacific during the 

Korean War. 

In 1976, after working 

in sales for many 

years, he founded Harry 

J. Kloeppel & Associates 

in Glenview, and only 

stepped down about five 

years ago. The company 

specializes in laboratory 

designs and installations 

for academic research, 

industrial laboratories, 

K-12 science labs and the 

life sciences industries, 

including biotech, pharmaceutical 

and medical 

device companies. 

“From corporations 

making food to companies 

saving lives, they all have 

laboratories and research 

and development, and 

that really doesn’t happen 

without the basis of what 

his company did, which 

was to design and install 

laboratories,” said Allen 

Keaveney, company vice 

president. 

“He made casework. 

That was his life. He 

loved to layout, to design, 

to work with contractors 

and customers. That is 

what he loved to do,” said 

Frank Gardner, former 

project manager. 

As a boss, he was 

praised by employees.

Recent grants awarded 

include the funding for 

three sensory suites; one at 

Deer Path Middle School 

(called the Go Zone), 

the second at Lake Bluff 

Middle School and the 

third, awarded this year, at 

Lake Forest Country Day 

School. 

Additionally, the Lake 

Forest-Lake Bluff Learning 

Disabilities Association 

has funded a wheelchair 

lift for one of the 

new Lake Forest High 

School vans, white board 

desks, reading and writing 

supports, special social 

and emotional support 

programs and a generous 

amount of leveled reading 

books for the elementary 

grade schools. In prior 

years the Lake Forest-Lake 


Association also contributed 

to the Spirit of 67 

Foundation grant for the 

Deer Path Middle Scool 

East climbing wall, and 

collaborated with the Lake 

Forest High School Foundation 

on TEACCH, a 

learning program for high 

school students on the autism 

spectrum. 

To date, the Make A Difference 

grant program has 

given more than $370,000 

in educational supports to 

local schools.

LifeWorking raises $2K for 

therapeutic school in Lake Bluff 

Submitted by LifeWorking 

LifeWorking Enterprise 

announced it exceeded its 

targeted donation funds 

for Safe Haven School in 

Lake Bluff by 10 percent. 

LifeWorking partnered 

with Chicago Comedy 

All-Stars’ Comedians on 

Feb. 22, to bring laughter 

to the North Shore and 

raise funds for Safe Haven 

School, a local therapeutic 

school. 

Comedians, Tim Walkoe 

and James Wesley Jackson 

gave performances with 

nearly 100 patrons in attendance 

and crying tears 

of laughter. 

“To me and the Chicago 

Comedy All-Stars, the 

fun we have with generous 

people and the impact 

of the event makes 

it all worthwhile. Sharing 

laughter with people while 

supporting a great cause 

such as Safe Haven warms 

our hearts. It’s an honor to 

be involved,” said Richard 

Young, leader of the Chicago 

Comedy All-Stars. 

Founder of Safe Haven 

School, Holly Schaefer, 

talked to the group about 

the school and the type of 

students that attend Safe 

Haven School. 

These students are facing 

various challenges 

such as emotional disturbances, 

learning disabilities, 

autism and other 

health impairments. With 

state funded programs facing 

severe cutbacks, the 

money raised will help 

keep programs operating. 

The event raised $2,200 

in ticket sales and corporate 

donations. 

“The funds raised will 

go toward purchasing an 

interactive whiteboard for 

one of our classrooms,” 

Schaefer said. “This interactive 

technology has 

been in regular education 

classrooms for years. 

We’re so happy to be able 

to offer this to our students 

so their transition back to 

their home school will be 

as seamless as possible.”

Letters To the editor 

Response to local National 

School Walkout 

I just finished reading 

the article about the Lake 

Forest High School students 

walking out during 

normal school hours. 

Point one: Any Lake 

Forest High School students 

who wants to 

live in a gun-free society, 

I will buy them a one-way 

ticket to North Korea. 

Maybe Lake Forest 

High School should teach 

the students about current 

events like the civil 

wars in Ukraine, Syria, 

Iraqui Kurdistan, etc. and 

ask any of those residents 

whether they need assault 

weapons to protect their 

family from ISIS and other 

extremist. 

The immigration problems 

in Europe are partially 

caused by citizens 

who did not have access 

to assault weapons in their 

home countries. There 

is nothing left to protect 

in many of those towns 

in Syria. Assault weapons 

are the final check, 

when there are extreme 

liberal governmental officials. 

Point two: I want my 

tax dollars back. I am 

paying for some of the 

most expensive teachers 

in the state. If you want 

to protest, on your own 

time, then I am fine with 

that activity, but if I am 

paying for the teachers, 

during normal school 

hours, and the students 

are walking out of class, 

then I want my tax dollars 

back. 

Dr. Chala Holland is 

way too liberal for this 

community, and the Lake 

Forest High School Board 

is not respecting the residents 

who are paying the 

bills. 

Do not forget that 50 

percent of the residents do 

not have students in the 

schools, but are paying 

some of the bills. 

Point three: We can 

agree to disagree but there 

are valid reasons for having 

assault weapons. 

Liberals are constantly 

trying to take our freedoms 

away and they are 

trying to rewrite history, 

like removing statues in 

the south. 

Maybe the liberals 

would like every statue 

in the United States removed, 

including the statue 

of Martin Luther King 

Jr., because everyone has 

faults. 

History is history. You 

can not change history. 

Liberals are trying to rewrite 

history to fit their 

ideology like in communist 

China, Russia and 

North Korea.

Paul Hamann, Lake 

Forest resident 

Lake Bluff Park District 

2018 Summary 

The Lake Bluff golfing 

community is up in arms. 

During February and 

March 2018, the Park District 

held a series of meetings 

to inform the community 

of the financial crisis 

caused by the continued 

operation of its golf course. 

In each of the last 18 

years, the golf fund has 

borne a large deficit. To 

balance its budget, the Park 

District has had to borrow 

from other intradistrict accounts. 

Thus, needed improvements 

to Sunrise Park 

The amount of misinformation 

that was floating 

around Facebook was 

staggering to me. 

However, misinformation 

or not, I’m always 

up for a good discussion. 

I don’t think anyone is 

right or wrong, but I do 

think our experiences 

shape our beliefs. On a 

more local level, Lake 

Forest and Lake Bluff 

have plenty of hot-button 

issues going on at the 

moment. 

Two recent topics 

have seen quite a bit of 

coverage in The Leader. 

The first is the National 

School Walkout and the 

second is the ongoing discussion 

of the Lake Bluff 

Golf Club. 

Two residents felt 

strongly enough to send 

in Letters to the Editor to 

give their take on each of 

those subjects. 

Personally, I think 

it’s important to have 

and Beach, Blair Park and 

Pool, Artesian Park and 

others have had to be put 

on hold. This is no longer 

acceptable to the district’s 

taxpayers or Board of 

Commissioners. The golfers 

do not want to believe 

the truth in the matter. 

The Park District has explored 

all options and consulted 

with many financial 

and golf course experts, 

and has concluded the golf 

course cannot be saved. 

The taxpayers are fed up. 

The golf course does not 

lead to increased property 

values. There is little likelihood 

that a major donor 

can be found to bail it out. 

The golf course land can 

never be developed and 

must remain open land. 

No plans are in the works 

informed discussions on 

topics that concern us. 

There have been a lot 

of controversial policy 

changes that our president 

has made since taking 

office. 

One sparked an interesting 

conversation 

between myself and a 

Harvard alumnus travelling 

home to Ohio from 

the Buffalo, N.Y. airport 

last summer. 

We had a conversation, 

expressed our views, listened 

to the other’s point 

and countered all in an 

airport bookstore. 

The conversation never 

turned mean or heated, 

but was a simple exchange 

of opinion and 

thought. 

At the end of the 

conversation, he even 

thanked me for the talk, 

stating that it was rare to 

have such an even-keel 

exchange. It was refreshing, 

to be honest. 

for its land use once the 

golf course is closed. The 

facts have been clearly delineated 

on the Lake Bluff 

Park District’s website, 

on freely distributed loose 

leaf publications and at the 

open meetings. 

Lake Forest’s Deer Path 

Course is just two-and-ahalf 

miles down the road. 

An intergovernmental 

agreement can easily be arranged 

for its use by Lake 

Bluff Park District golfers. 

Let’s be rid of the golf 

course, pay off the accrued 

debts and concentrate on 

improving the Park District’s 

greatest property assets, 

Sunrise Park and Lake 

Michigan shore and beach. 

Janice Schnobrich, Lake 

Bluff resident 

I think we need a little 

more of that in today’s 

world. 

As a society, we need 

to arm ourselves with accurate 

information from a 

reputable source, and share 

our thoughts and ideas 

with others. We’re not going 

to agree on everything 

as a society, but if we can 

take the time to listen and 

understand someone else’s 

opinion, maybe everything 

will run a little smoother in 

the future.

Scouts seniors get creative with ‘Good Idea’ podcast 

Alan P. Henry 


Check out the “Good 

Idea” podcast “Wayne 

Gretzkying” and you’ll 

learn that the term means 

“eating a cigarette” among 

some students at Lake Forest 

High School. You’ll 

also be treated to a discourse 

on stupid fads. 

Or, maybe, go to the 

“Genghis Con” podcast, 

where history is rewritten 

because it turns out Genghis 

Khan was not calling 

the shots. His horse was. 

Then there’s “Kierkecaards,” 

about a line of 

birthday cards embracing 

the philosophy of Soren 

Kierkegaard, who believed 

much of life is about suffering. 

In other words, every 

birthday card warns of yet 

another year of tribulation. 

The “Good Idea” podcast 

is the brainchild of 

Lake Forest High School 

seniors Aiden Kinsella and 

Bradley Berklich. 

Roughly once a week, 

since last August, the pair 

sits down in front of a microphone 

for 30-60 minutes 

and cobbles together a 

swirl of comedy, story telling, 

satire and homespun 

philosophy. Most of the 

ideas and topics are their 

own. Some are submitted 

to them on social media. 

In any given week, 50- 

70 listeners tune in, most 

locally but also from 

around the nation. There 

have even been listeners 

from Finland and Sweden. 

Berklich and Kinsella 

have been involved together 

in a number of creative 

efforts at Lake Forest High 

School, and decided to put 

together the podcast last 

summer. 

“Whether it is serious 

or it is just for fun, 

we thought this would be 

a shared thing everyone 

could listen to and enjoy,” 

Berklich said. 

“For me, this is a passion 

project,” Kinsella said. “I 

look to go into the field of 

media production. I enjoy 

making people laugh and I 

enjoy talking to people, so 

podcasting is a really good 

way to combine those 

things. It is something we 

both really enjoy doing.” 

One of their favorites is 

“The Ice Cream Stand at 

the Pinnacle of America.” 

The podcast traces their 

75-minute road trip last 

fall from Lake Forest to an 

ice cream stand in Hebron, 

Illinois. Hebron had left 

a positive impression on 

Berklich when he visited 

the town the previous summer 

with his father. 

“We thought the trip 

would give us the ability 

to talk about America as a 

whole and the problems it 

faces and what it means to 

have an American Dream,” 

Berklich said. “We decided 

that living in Hebron was 

the American dream.” 

Going forward, Berklich 

expects that “Good Idea” 

will morph toward chronicling 

their senior year. 

That will include a podcast

“We see it as a way for 

us to preserve our high

also hope it maintains its 

place as a place where 

you can go and relax and 

hang out with some virtual

Berklich, who is weighing 

several college offers. 

Kinsella plans to attend 

THE SPRING 

Lake Forest College, study

Stephen Foley, Sr. 

Stephen Foley, 

92, of Lake Forest,

his life, Foley set an example 

of hard work, integrity, kindness, 

generosity and humility. 

He was born in Chicago, 

attended Quigley Preparatory 

Seminary and Mundelein 

Seminary, served in the 

army and graduated from 

Loyola University in 1948. 

He married the love of his 

life, Mercedes, April 26, 1952 

and shortly after their marriage, 

he left his position at 

General Motors Acceptance 

Corporation (GMAC) to pursue 

a career in car sales at

on Chicago’s South Side. He 

moved from sales to management 

and in 1964, he became 

the dealer/owner of Hollingshead

the Oldsmobile dealership 

and purchased a Cadillac 

dealership in Northbrook renamed 

Steve Foley Cadillac. 

In 1983, he was vetted by 

Rolls-Royce and found worthy 

of the Rolls-Royce and

the years, he purchased and 

sold several dealerships in Illinois, 

Wisconsin and Florida. 

At one time, he also owned 

and operated several tire and 

service centers throughout the 

Chicago area. He served for 

19 years on the board of the 

Chicago Automobile Trade 

Association (CATA) and 

was chairman of the Chicago 

Auto Show in 1980. He was 

a member of the Cadillac Advertising 

Association and the 

National Dealer Council. He 

received the Distinguished 

Alumnus Award from Quigley 

Seminary in 1994. He was involved 

in and supported many 

charitable organizations. He 

and Mercedes served twice 

as chairpersons of the Loyola 

Stritch School of Medicine 

Awards Dinner. The dinner is 

the longest-running black-tie 

gala in Chicago and continues 

to raise hundreds of thousands 

of dollars for medical student 

scholarships. He was a great 

man, a gentleman who will be 

missed by all who knew him. 

He is survived by his beloved 

wife, Mercedes (nee 

Meyenberg); children, Mary

(Richard Schabel) and Steve, 

Jr. (Barbara); grandchildren,

Midwest Young Artists 

Conservatory 

Lake Bluff native Anna 

Burden returns to the 


Conservatory for the final 

concert of their 25th Anniversary 

season. 

Burden will perform 

with other talented musicians 

April 28 at 4 p.m. 

at Pick-Staiger Concert 

Hall in Evanston. Following 

the concert, Midwest 

Young Artists Conservatory 

will hold their 25th 

Anniversary Gala at Michigan 

Shores Country Club, 

in Wilmette, which will 

feature additional performances 

by their chamber 

and jazz ensembles. 

Burden, associate principal 

cellist of the Montreal 

Symphony Orchestra, 

will perform the Brahms 

Concerto for Violin and 

Cello with the Midwest 


Symphony Orchestra. 

Burden grew up in Lake 

Bluff and met Midwest 


founder, president, 

and lead conductor Dr. Allan 

Dennis at the age of 7. 

She began playing cello at 

age 8 and joined the very 

first Midwest Young Artists 

Conservatory junior 

orchestra when the organization 

began in 1993. 

She remained at Midwest 


through high school, 

eventually reaching their 

top orchestra, in addition 

to performing in their 

award-winning chamber 

music program. 

“My first concert with 

senior orchestra sticks out 

because we played Brahms 

1st Symphony, so it was 

my first time playing any 

repertoire of that difficulty 

Anna Burden, of Lake Bluff, returns to the North 

Shore to perform with the Midwest Young Artists 

Conservatory April 28 in Wilmette. PHOTO Submitted 

and that caliber,” Burden 

said. “I really remember 

finishing that concert and 

how ecstatic Dr. Dennis 

was, and how lucky I felt 

to be a part of the organization. 

My senior year we 

did Mahler 5, and that was 

certainly the most difficult 

symphony I had ever 

played. 

“We had trumpeter 

Ethan Bensdorf, who’s 

now in the New York 

Philharmonic, playing 

that difficult part, and that 

was just something really 

incredible to experience. 

And he’s someone who 

I’m still friends with now.” 


Conservatory has supported 

students socially and 

emotionally by providing a 

nurturing home for young 

musicians while instilling 

values of teamwork and 

social responsibility. 

“A lot of friendships 

really stick out,” Burden 

said. “My [Midwest 

Young Artists Conservatory] 

stand partner and 

best friend, Emily Metz, I 

was just the maid of honor 

at her wedding two years 

ago. She joined [Midwest 

Young Artists Conservatory] 

when we were in fourth 

grade and we both stayed 

through high school. And 

she’s not a musician now, 

but [Midwest Young Artists 

Conservatory] really 

shaped her and who she 

was, and now she’s doing 

great things. I don’t hope 

that my students necessarily 

become professional 

musicians, I hope for them 

to become great people 

and do great things. You 

see a lot of that at [Midwest 

Young Artists Conservatory], 

it’s about being 

part of the community, and 

hopefully shaping people 

who know what it means 

to work hard and have a 

goal and come together 

to do something great. It’s 

about shaping the next 

generation.”

LakeForestLeader.com DINING OUT 


Greenwood offers 

accessible, natural food 

Xavier Ward 

Contributing Editor 

Josh Kaplan and Mark 

Newman grew up next 

door to each other in Highland 

Park, so there’s something 

serendipitous about 

their second restaurant 

opening two doors down 

from the first. 

Greenwood, Highwood’s 

newest restaurant, is nestled 

on the corner of Green 

Bay Road and Prairie Avenue. 

The unassuming facade 

gives way to a rustic 

minimalist interior and spacious, 

open dining area. 

Kaplan and Newman’s 

first restaurant, Ballaro, is 

on the same block at 214 

Green Bay Road, Highwood. 

“It was actually the 

perfect location, because 

Mark and I always wanted 

to expand, but being two 

doors away made it so 

much more feasible,” Kaplan 

said. 

Green Bay and Sheridan 

roads, divided by 

train tracks, are lined with 

popular restaurants. While 

an established restaurant 

and entertainment culture 

in Highwood guarantees 

foot traffic, standing out 

in Highwood is no small 

task. 

“You look at the elements 

— the simple elements 

— which [are] good 

food, good atmosphere, 

good service and value, 

and if you nail those, people 

will be loyal and they’ll 

come back,” Kaplan said. 

While the food stands 

for itself, Kaplan said, the 

design was something he 

felt brought a new attraction 

to the area. The interior’s 

soft, earthy colors 

and squared, minimalist 

woodwork sets the tone 

of the meal before guests 

have even ordered. 

“With the food, we actually 

went for familiarity, 

people will know this 

food, they’ll understand 

it,” Kaplan said. 

“People want their comfort, 

they want their familiarity,” 

said Newman, 

co-captain and executive 

chef. “They also want that 

touch of differentiation.” 

A lot of the inspiration 

for the food came from 

’50s and ’60s dining, Newman 

said. 

“You go back to the old 

stuff, and you make sure 

everything is made from 

scratch,” he said. 

Naturally, the restaurant 

offers a modern spin on 

most of the dishes. 

Sometimes basic is best. 

“Do the mussels the best 

that you can, do the hamburger 

the best that you 

can,” he said. 

According to Newman, 

the advantage of making 

everything from scratch is 

the control of ingredients. 

That makes accommodating 

dietary restrictions, 

such as gluten intolerance, 

much easier from a kitchen 

perspective. 

It’s the same story at 

Ballaro. All of the menu 

items, pasta included, are 

made in house. 

“The challenge is always 

sourcing the right 

ingredients,” he said. 

The Midwest offers its 

challenges, which means 

the food can’t always be 

directly farm to table, but 

by establishing relationships 

with distributors, 

vendors and producers 

throughout his culinary career, 

Newman said he can 

still offer the freshest food.

Ballaro and Kaplan 

spend most of their time at 

Greenwood to make sure 

it gets off to a proper start, 

but they still keep an eye 

on Ballaro. 

That said, they’ve promoted 

a few employees 

from within to manage 

both the front of house and 

the kitchen. 

“When you’ve been doing 

something for two and 

a half years, if you can’t 

step away from it and 

have it run efficiently, you 

haven’t done something 

right,” Newman said. 

Greenwood’s kitchen 

isn’t the only thing they 

hope will draw customers. 

Kaplan said its service 

and bar are equally as important. 

“You look around, you 

see a room full of smiling 

servers,” he said. “I think 

we have great service, we 

hire people with great personalities 

[who] are empathetic 

and care about the 

guests and the service and 

are truly engaged.” 

Additionally, Greenwood’s 

bartender, Russ 

Waters, is somewhat of 

a local celebrity, Kaplan 

said. 

Editors from 22nd Century 

media stopped by to 

sample the fair. Here’s 

what we found.

($9) comes topped with 

Greenwood’s starter of mussels mariniere ($12) features a generous portion of 

mussels served in a sauce made with white wine, shallots, parsley and butter. Photos

A crispy skin incases a tender grilled brick chicken ($22) entree that is served with 

herbed potato wedges and green beans all covered in a flavorful chicken au jus 

sauce. 

a dollop of honey butter. 

The skillet is preheated in 

the oven before the batter 

is added, which Newman 

said helps achieve a symmetry 

of a crispy exterior 

and moist interior. 

The avocado toast ($12) 

is made with fresh avocado 

spread on a crusty 

white bread topped with a 

chili-lime and corn medley, 

sprinkled with queso 

fresco cheese. 

The mussels and mariniere 

($12) is a classic. The 

cooked mussels are tossed 

in the mariniere, a sauce 

made of white wine, shallots, 

parsley and butter. 

For the main course, 

Greenwood offers a hearty 

list of entrées, sandwiches 

and salads, as well as steak 

frites. 

The grilled brick chicken 

($22) includes two 

pieces of on-the-bone 

chicken, sitting atop a bed 

of herb-roasted potatoes 

and green beans. 

If you’re looking for a 

classic, the double cheeseburger 

($14) features two 

riddled patties topped high 

with American cheese, 

grilled onions, lettuce and 

tomato. 

And if you’d like something 

sweeter, you can try 

any of Greenwood’s desserts. 

The warm chocolate 

brownie ($8) is a classic 

brownie cooked and served 

in a ceramic bowl with a 

side of the house-made, 

soft-serve ice cream. 

The warm apple crisp 

($8) is a gluten free alternative, 

cooked and served 

in the same ceramic bowl, 

with a side of the soft 

serve, as well.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Andrew Gough 

Andrew Gough is a senior 

at Lake Forest High 

School and is a pitcher on 

the baseball team. 

How did you get 

started playing 

baseball? 

My dad just introduced 

me to T-ball when I was 

younger. It’s just one of 

those things, when the season 

came up, you played. I 

just fell in love with it. 

Why do you love the 

sport so much? 

I just love how it’s the 

most individual team 

sport. You can have teammates, 

but when you get in 

the box, or you’re on the 

mound, it’s only you. It’s 

the work that you put in 

that you have to trust. 

What is the most 

challenging part of the 

sport for you? 

Staying positive. The 

highs are high and the lows 

are low. You just want to 

keep that line of best fit 

through it all. That’s good, 

because you never know 

what you’re going to do. 

What is the best part 

about being on this 

team? 

I love Lake Forest; I 

love the community. Just 

being able to play with all 

of my friends in school, 

and we all have the same 

goal. We just want to win. 

Just seeing almost 30 guys 

come together, all with the 

same goal, is a really great 

thing. 

What is a personal 

goal of yours for the 

season? 

All-conference would 

be the goal as a pitcher and 

as a hitter. That would be 

at the top of it. I just want 

to get wins. 

What is your favorite 

subject in school? 

Probably history because 

it’s not theoretical, 

it actually happened. I like 

the facts. 

What is your favorite 

restaurant to eat at in 

Lake Forest? 

Chipotle. Twice a week. 

[My go-to is] doublechicken 

burrito with white 

rice, double chicken, sour 

cream, cheese, lettuce and 

corn. 

Who is your favorite 

professional athlete? 

It was Steph Curry for 

my entire life until he became 

MVP twice and everyone 

liked him. You have 

to be original, so right now 

I really like Marcus Stroman 

on the [Toronto] Blue 

Jays. He’s a pitcher, he’s 

5’6” and he throws like 

close to 100 mph. It’s a 

good example of you don’t 

have to be that big to play. 

If you could have 

dinner with anyone 

Brittany Kapa/ 

22nd Century Media 

living or dead, who 

would that be? 

I had physics today, 

so I’m leaning toward 

Isaac Newton. He was 20 

years old and he basically 

founded our foundation 

and knowledge of physics 

and the world. That would 

be pretty interesting to talk 

to someone who did that. It 

would probably be pretty 

weird because he lived in 

isolation. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

Sydney, Australia. In 

college I’m looking to 

study abroad and I think 

either Sydney or London 

are at the top of the list. 

They speak English, there 

is great weather and there 

are a lot of things to do. 

My dad grew up in the outback 

of Australia.

Del Fava excited for Scouts unknown season 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

It’s a new season for the 

Scouts and coach Ray Del 

Fava is excited for the unknown. 

Beginning his eighth 

season as head coach, Del 

Fava has a mixture of players 

on this year’s roster. He 

has three key seniors that 

have three years of varsity 

experience under their 

belt, two sophomores who 

are expected to make an 

impact and an entire team 

to bond together. 

“It’s a lot of unknown 

but sometimes the unknown 

can be exciting because 

there is talent,” Del 

Fava said. 

He is hoping that talent 

will work together in the 

team’s favor for a successful 

season against talented 

conference foes. 

Last season, with several 

key seniors, the team finished 

at .500, was one game 

over in North Suburban 

Conference (11-10), and 

lost in the IHSA regional 

semifinal. This season Del 

Fava will be working with 

a 16-player deep pitching 

roster, a senior shortstop, 

and a few key underclassmen 

that will help the team 

in all areas. 

“With the new pitch 

counts, and trying to get 35 

games in during the spring, 

you need to have a great 

deal of depth,” Del Fava 

said. “We’re hoping that 

will pay off for us as they 

year goes on.” 

Part of the challenge this 

season is to bond a group 

of players that haven’t 

had years of experience 

together. The first step in 

that journey was during 

the team’s recent trip to 

the Ripken Experience in 

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 

during spring break. 

With just three weeks of 

practices, primarily indoor, 

Del Fava was hopeful after 

seeing the talent level in the 

small-intimate space. 

“[The Ripken Experience] 

gives us a chance to 

bond as a team but also a 

chance to hopefully play 

some games in some somewhat 

decent weather,” Del 

Fava said. 

He added that the team 

did get quite a bit of outdoor 

practice time leading 

up to the tournament in 

Lake Forest, more than in 

previous years. But, with 

Chicago-area weather like 

it is, it’s hard to get enough 

outdoor practice time to 

feel ready. Del Fava and the 

Scouts coaching staff tried 

to get the team as much live 

game practice as possible 

before leaving. 

The other main goal of 

the trip is to bond this group 

of guys into a well-oiled 

baseball machine. The team 

was scheduled to play four 

varsity games during the 

trip and two junior varsity 

games. The hope is to finetune 

play prior to conference 

play at home. 

“Because we have so 

many guys who haven’t 

played extensive varsity innings 

it’s getting them up to 

speed with the speed of the 

varsity game,” Del Fava 

said. “It is faster; kids are 

stronger. It takes a little bit 

of time to get adjusted.” 

It’s also about getting 

those more junior players 

adjusted to the varsity-style 

of play. 

“I’m really excited to

Beach, South Carolina during the team’s recent trip.

see how this team responds 

in Myrtle Beach,” senior 

shortstop Caleb Durbin 

said before the team left. 

“We’ve had three weeks of 

practices now and Myrtle 

Beach has always been a 

good test for us to see how 

we’ll stack up in our conference.” 

Durbin, a Washington 

University-St. Louis commit, 

is just one of those three 

veteran seniors that will 

help guide his teammates to 

a hopeful successful season. 

“There is a lot of room 

for ... [inexperienced] guys 

to step up and I’m looking 

forward to that,” he said. 

Middlebury College 

commit Andrew Gough, a 

pitcher, and Drew Golde, 

an outfielder/pitcher, are 

the other seniors have the 

benefit of experience over 

their younger teammates. 

With such a deep pitching 

lineup, Gough is confident 

that will only aide the team 

in the long run. 

“It’s pretty deep. A lot of 

guys will get a lot of opportunity 

to show what they 

have and hopefully some 

guys can step up,” he said. 

“We have three sophomores 

and all of them are 

expected to contribute a lot 

on the mound.” 

Gough and Durbin both 

agree that the goal is a 

deep postseason run, but 

know they can’t achieve 

that unless the team works 

together. 

“Our team goals are basically 

the same every year, 

win a conference championship 

and make it as far as 

we can in playoffs,” Durbin 

said. “Obviously a state 

championship is our main 

goal.” 

Another goal, perhaps a 

smaller and less important 

one, comes in the form of 

besting rival teams and 

friends on other teams. 

Many of the Scouts play 

with or against players on 

other teams in the summer, 

but during the IHSA 

season it gives the players 

an opportunity to play 

against one another. 

“Over the summer we 

play with a lot of those 

guys, so we’re friends, like 

really good friends with 

other guys, so we just want 

to beat up on each other,” 

Gough said with a laugh. 

“That’s the goal. 

“You want to go out and 

compete, and win, but especially 

you just want to 

beat your friend.” 

“We know at least half 

the guys on all of those 

teams. It makes for really 

good baseball games,” 

Durbin added. 

The three key teams for 

the Scouts are Mundelein, 

Libertyville and Stevenson. 

Durbin and Gough know 

these will all result in good 

series. The goal is to win 

those series. 

“If we could do that, that 

would be great,” Gough 

said.

Lacrosse 

North Shore hotbed for 

Division-I lacrosse players 

Michal Dwojak 

Contributing Sports Editor 

The North Shore area is 

known for producing elite 

talent, no matter the sport. 

From Chris Collins and 

Jon Scheyer to Hilary 

Knight and Conor Dwyer, 

Chicago’s northern suburbs 

has produced elite talent 

seemingly from every 

sport. 

However, what many 

people might not know is 

the North Shore is a hotbed 

for a certain sport that 

has gained traction in the 

Midwest over the last 10 

years. Just like Chicago is 

synonymous with basketball 

recruiting and Texas 

with football, the North 

Shore has produced elite 

talent in the IHSA’s latest 

sanctioned sport: lacrosse. 

Many coaches are excited 

for the potential growth 

the emerging sport could 

experience with the sanctioning 

of lacrosse, despite 

the gradual growth in the 

western suburbs and other 

parts of the state, area 

coaches and players know 

how special it is to play in 

and represent the North 

Shore lacrosse talent. 

“It’s certainly something 

we appreciate around here, 

we take pride,” Glenbrook 

South boys coach Will 

Jeffrey said. “Sometimes 

a western-suburb team 

will pop up, but it’s usually 

the New Triers and the 

Loyolas.” 

The numbers speaks 

for itself, of the 40 current 

mens lacrosse players 

from Illinois who play on 

Division-I rosters, 18 have 

come from a school represented 

in 22nd Century 

Media’s coverage zone 

— Loyola Academy, New 

Trier, Glenbrook South, 

Glenbrook North, Lake 

Forest and Highland Park. 

The numbers are far more 

impressive with womens 

players, where 33 of the 

45 Illinois natives playing 

D-I womens lacrosse are 

from the same North Shore 

schools. 

So what makes lacrosse 

so special in the area? 

For many players, it’s 

the start and uniqueness. 

Glenbrook South junior 

Greer Bireley will 

soon add to the impressive 

women’s numbers. She 

announced her commitment 

to play at Butler, and 

like many of the players in 

the area, lacrosse wasn’t 

a popular sport for her to 

play. While Bireley was 

off to play lacrosse, her 

friends went to play other 

sports in the spring like 

soccer. Bireley did clinics 

from a young age and 

played club lacrosse along 

the way. 

Like many other lacrosse 

players, the sport 

combined different abilities 

and ways to stay fit 

from other sports they 

play. For Bireley, personally, 

it’s just something 

unique. 

“I just loved it so much,” 

Bireley said. “It was part 

of the fun that not a lot of 

kids played it.” 

Part of the inspiration 

for girls lacrosse players 

comes from success down 

the street. Northwestern 

University’s historic womens 

lacrosse program is 

an inspiration for many 

of the players in the area. 

The Wildcats won five 

straight championships 

from 2005 to 2009 and 

added two more in 2011 

and 2012. 

The program provided 

an easy arena for young 

children to learn and fall 

in love with a sport many 

might think is only played 

in the nation’s Northeast. 

“I think it’s awesome 

and the girls are so lucky 

to have that in their backyard,” 

said Annie Lesch, 

Glenbrook South girls la- 

crosse. “I think it’s been 

exciting and has brought 

fans to the game who don’t 

have a connection but 

know the game and hear 

about the high schools 

having girls lacrosse.” 

Despite the talent at the 

Division-I level, there are 

far more players at the D-II 

and D-III levels. While 

there are many players like 

Bireley who have played 

the sport from a young 

age, there are more athletes 

who didn’t start playing 

until their freshman 

year of high school. Many 

coaches have noticed that 

lacrosse offers a chance 

to keep in shape during 

another team’s offseason. 

Whether it be football, 

field hockey, ice hockey 

or another sport, athletes 

come to lacrosse with open 

arms and minds to learn 

about a sport they likely 

knew little about. 

“Lacrosse is growing so 

rapidly now there are so 

many D-III and D-II opportunities 

that we have 

so many kids playing at 

all levels from his state — 

all over this country,” said 

Catherine Catanzaro, Lake 

Forest High School’s girls 

lacrosse coach. 

The hope is the sport 

will continue to grow in 

Illinois with IHSA sanctioning 

the sport. While 

there are some youth development 

leagues out 

there, not enough of them 

are in place currently to 

field the necessary amount 

of players. Coaches like 

Catanzaro, who grew up 

on the east coast, were 

used to lacrosse growing 

up. Many Midwest-based 

coaches never had a feeder 

program at the youth 

level. 

“There’s definitely a 

lot of history,” said Justin 

Georgacakis, Glenbrook 

North boys lacrosse coach. 

“It is unique to be in this 

area and to be competitive. 

The more teams that are 

competitive in the state ... 

the better the quality there 

is.”

lot of things.” 

Mack was one of the 

main reasons Boudreaux 

committed to Xavier but 

with him out of the picture, 

and the departure of assistant 

coach Luke Murray, 

who Boudreaux also had 

a relationship with, it was 

time to look elsewhere. 

“Alright third time’s 

the charm. Very excited 

to announce that I will be 

attending Purdue University 

next year!” Boudreaux 

announced in a Thursday, 

March 29, tweet. 

“After talking with my 

family, it was in my best 

interest to kind of open it 

up and reevaluate everything,” 

he said. “At the end 

of the day, I just felt like I 

was really comfortable 

with the situation Purdue 

was in and I just felt like 

it was the best opportunity 

for me to continue my career.” 

Boudreaux, a 6-foot-8- 

inch, 220-pound forward, 

said he is looking forward 

to playing for the Big 

Ten school. Boudreaux 

describes his experience 

with the coaching staff at 

Purdue as “comfortable,” 

which made the decision 

that much easier for 

him. 

“They have given me the 

opportunity to come in and 

contribute, and contribute 

to a team that brings back a 

lot of really good pieces,” 

he said. 

At the end of the day, 

for Boudreaux, it came 

down to which program, 

and coaching staff, had the 

best fit. 

“That was what drove 

me to the decision to 

leave Dartmouth and the 

decision to eventually 

pick Purdue, as well as 

Xavier,” Boudreaux said. 

“I’m looking at a program 

that has a really great tradition 

of being successful 

in the NCAA tournament. 

“I can’t wait to join it.”

Forester’s Ogawa named DIII Diver of the Year 

Erin Redmond 


When Heath Ogawa first 

learned he was named the 

NCAA Division III Diver 

of the Year, he didn’t react 

like most would expect. 

In fact, he wasn’t sure 

how to react at all. 

The Lake Forest College 

junior, a native of 

Japan, said he had to ask 

his coach what the award 

meant. Prior to winning 

it, he said, he had no idea 

such a thing existed. 

Being name the NCAA 

DIII Diver of the Year 

is the latest in a long list 

of accomplishments the 

Deerfield resident has 

earned. 

After two previous trips 

to the national tournament 

where he finished outside 

of the Top 10, Ogawa finally 

brought home a national 

title in the 3-meter 

dive after the March 21 

NCAA DIII Men’s Swimming 

& Diving Championship 

in Grinnell, Iowa. 

Two days later he took 

home third in the 1-meter 

dive at the tournament 

and had previously been 

named an All-American. 

So, when he came to realize 

just how big a deal 

being named the NCAA 

Diver of the Year was, 

Ogawa said it was the icing 

on his slice of humble 

pie. 

“Winning NCAA was 

definitely something that 

was my end goal. … Last 

year I came into the competition 

really focused on 

a goal … and put myself 

on a pedestal pretty hard. 

It was a humbling year 

last year,” Ogawa said. 

“This year, I came in and 

I still had that goal to win, 

but instead of focusing on 

that, I really wanted to enjoy 

the process during the 

competition and all the 

emotions. I think that really 

helped me perform 

well.” 

After winning a national 

title and two prestigious 

national accolades, Ogawa 

couldn’t help but laugh 

thinking about his beginnings 

in the sport. 

At 14, he moved to 

Highland Park from Japan 

following the 2011 earthquake 

that devastated the 

country. With the future of 

the ravaged nation unclear, 

Ogawa’s parents sent him 

overseas to continue his 

education and he moved 

in with a family friend in 

Highland Park. It was here 

that and began competing 

in gymnastics and diving 

for Highland Park High 

School— though the latter 

took a bit of convincing to 

get him started. 

“I don’t want to say I 

hated [diving] — that’s not 

the right word — but during 

the season I was thinking 

about [what changed],” 

he said. “It was hard being 

in a new country, learning 

a new language and we 

had to wake up every day 

at 5 in the morning. … It 

was hard for me to get up 

every day early and get on 

the diving board and face 

[my] fear.” 

It wasn’t so much of a 

“what” that helped change 

Ogawa’s view on the 

sport, but rather a who. 

Circumstances forced 

the then-sophomore to 

move to Deerfield and 

transfer to Deerfield High 

School. But he did see a 

familiar face. 

The Deerfield diving 

coach, Doug Foerch, 

was also the gymnastics 

coach at Highland 

Park and when Ogawa 

switched schools, their relationship 

blossomed. 

“He became my diving 

coach as well as my gymnastics 

coach,” Ogawa 

said. “We really became 

close and I think that relationship 

really helped me 

in sports.” 

Ogawa saw some success 

at the high school 

level, qualifying for the 

state tournament his senior 

year. He went in with no 

expectations, but ended 

up missing the final day 

by one spot and finishing 

13th. Only the Top 12 advance 

to the finals. 

He didn’t let that bother 

him, however, saying he 

was just there to soak up 

the experience. In fact, 

he had exceeded what he 

thought he’d do, saying he 

would’ve been happy with 

16th. 

But when he got to college, 

Ogawa pushed harder. 

With a goal of winning 

a national title, Ogawa put 

in extra work in the offseason. 

And that, he believes, 

is the difference between 

him and his competition. 

“I asked myself the 

same question: what 

makes people successful?” 

Ogawa said. “You have a 

set program, people are 

following that program, 

but some might work a 

little harder outside of that 

program. 

“At the end of the day, 

we’re all following the 

same program, so why do 

some people succeed and 

have a bunch of success?” 

“I think it’s not really 

[what you do] during the 

season; I think it’s also 

what you do during the 

offseason. … I think the 

strong desire to succeed 

is what fuels me outside 

— not only during practice 

time — but outside at 

school,” he said.

award March 24 at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Photos submitted

competition. 

With one title under his 

belt and another season of 

competition ahead, Ogawa 

said he still has some 

things he wants to achieve 

before his Forester days 

are behind him. 

“I would like to win both 

boards. … I don’t want to 

say it’s a goal; it’s a desire,” 

he said. “My goal 

was to win Nationals and I 

don’t want to say I wasn’t 

expecting it, but it was a 

surprise. … I just want to 

continue getting better and 

if I can inspire other people, 

that’s the goal.”
