Lake Bluff Park District Board of Commissioners 

$66K study approved for erosion 

issues at Sunrise Park and Beach 

Erin Yarnall 

Freelance Reporter 

In an effort to protect 

Sunrise Park and Beach 

from erosion and other 

damaging factors, the 

Lake Bluff Park District 

Board approved a proposal 

to invest in a study on the 

beach at its regular meeting 

on Monday, April 16. 

The board approved a 

proposal for a study done 

by AECOM, an engineering 

firm based in Chicago. 

The study will cost the Park 

District $66,800, and is a 

“starting point” towards 

fixing the problems the 

beach is facing, according 

to Brock Gordon, the vice 

president of the board. 

“We’ve been talking 

about this since 2008 and 

we’ve been kicking this 

down the road for many, 

many years,” Commissioner 

Susan Ehrhard said. 

“It’s time that we need to 

start collectively working 

on this beach.” 

The funds for the study 

will come out of a reserve 

of money that the Park 

District has. After the 

study is conducted, the 

Park District, along with 

AECOM, will determine 

a solution for the problems 

at the beach, and a price 

for the work to be done, 

which could potentially 

lead to a referendum if the 

cost is high enough. 

One of the problems the 

beach is facing is the increasing 

water level. 

George Russell, a member 

of the Parks and Beach 

Committee, said the level 

of the lake water had been 

receding for 16 years after 

it reached its highest point 

in the ‘80s, but is now rising 

for unknown reasons. 

Another problem the 

beach is facing is a diminishing 

amount of sand, according 

to Russell. 

“The sand on our beach 

is the most important component 

[of the beach],” 

Russell said. 

The lack of sand is due to 

multiple factors, according 

to Russell, including renovations 

on the Waukegan 

Harbor and a 12-year construction 

project at Great 

Lakes Naval Base, which 

has impacted the natural 

flow of sand as it moves 

from more northern areas 

of Lake Michigan to the 

south. 

Many commissioners on 

the board agreed that although 

they were unsure of 

the cost of the future work 

that needed to be done, the 

study undertaken by AE- 

COM would be a helpful 

first step in the process to 

protecting the beach from 

further damage. 

“If you ask Lake Bluff 

what is the number one 

true gem [of the community], 

it is the beach,” Commissioner 

Kauri McKendry 

said. “We can’t go 

anywhere without this first 

phase. We will never know 

the cost unless we do this.” 

“I don’t think we have 

another choice,” Commissioner 

Bob Wallace said 

about conducting the survey. 

Despite the uncertainty 

of what the study could 

lead to in regards to future 

work on the beach, the 

board agreed that it was 

in the best interest to start 

work to protect it. 

“It’s obvious our beach 

needs major care and we 

need to protect it,” McKendry 

said. “[The beach] is 

what brought me to Lake 

Bluff. I lived in Waukegan. 

I wanted a beach I could 

walk to and enjoy. I’d like 

to say that I worked towards 

protecting our beach.” 

LF fire causes $5K in damages, no injuries 

Alyssa Groh, Editor 

A fire was reported in 

the roof of a single-family 

home, with no injuries, at 

5:18 p.m. Friday, April 

20, in the southwest part 

of Lake Forest, according 

to a press release from the 

Lake Forest Fire Department. 

The first Lake Forest 

fire engine arrived to the 

scene within minutes, and 

located an active fire in the 

roof at the rear end of the 

house. 

The fire was extinguished 

in approximately 

20 minutes, the release 

said. 

The cause of the fire is 

under investigation. Preliminary 

estimates of the 

damages are approximately 

$5,000. 

The alarm was upgraded 

to bring additional fire departments 

to the scene to 

assist with extinguishing 

the fire.

Northwestern University’s 

most decorated Olympian 

of all time. 

Spain and Grevers spent 

Friday, April 20, reliving 

their “glory days” by 

walking the halls of Lake 

Forest High School and 

giving a speech to the senior 

class. 

“It’s awesome to relive 

the high school experience 

and go back through 

memory lane,” Grevers 

said. “It is pretty neat to 

see the journey I took. It 

has been a long time since 

I have been back here. It is 

incredible to walk the halls 

and remember what my 

dreams and goals were, 

and to peer down almost 

20 years later and say, 

‘Hey, I actually did a lot of 

that stuff.’” 

During his remarks, 

Grevers shared a story 

with students about how 

his time at LFHS helped 

him achieve his goals. 

When Grevers was a 

freshman at LFHS, the 

athletic director told the 

boys swim team if they 

won the state championship, 

he would buy 

the school a hot tub. 

The thought of having 

a hot tub at school was a 

driving factor for the team 

for the rest of his high 

school career.

Four lots of land are being 

consolidated into three 

lost after the Lake Bluff 

Plan Commission and 

Zoning Board of Appeals 

approved a proposed plat 

of subdivision at its regular 

meeting on Wednesday, 

April 18. 

There are currently four 

existing, buildable lots at 

501 E. Center Ave. and 

517 E. Center Ave. Two 

of them currently have 

structures built on them, 

and the two in the center 

are vacant. The applicants 

wanted to give each of the 

existing structures more 

square footage, and combine 

the two vacant lots 

into one. 

“It minimizes the bulk 

on the street,” said applicant 

Brad Andersen. 

One of the concerns the 

board had before approving 

the plat of subdivision 

was the drainage systems 

on the property. 

“We have so much 

flooding in the village,” 

board member Leslie 

Bishop said. “We have to 

be proactive.” 

Andersen and the other 

owners of the property 

agreed to grant a ten-foot 

wide drainage easement between 

the two central lots. 

The easement will help the 

flow of water when it rains. 

Bishop also brought up 

concerns about the trees 

currently located on the 

property, and the intent of 

the property owner to replace 

the trees after work 

is done on the property. 

“The trees are large, going 

down the middle of 

the two houses, and they 

would have to be removed 

to put a house up,” Bishop 

said. “It would change the 

streetscape as far as the 

landscaping goes quite a 

bit. When you look at it, 

Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Board 

this area is treed beautifully.” 

Bishop requested that 

additional trees be planted, 

beyond what is necessary 

for zoning standards, and 

Andersen responded that 

the owners would be planting 

the amount of trees that 

is necessary to comply with 

zoning standards, but did 

not want to be beholden to 

planting additional trees. 

The board unanimously 

approved the request, as 

long as the owners follow a 

set of conditions, including 

the drainage easement. The 

request will be sent to the 

Village Board for approval. 

The meeting also 

marked the end of the fiscal 

year for the Plan Commission 

and Zoning Board 

of Appeals, and served as 

chairman Steve Kraus’ final 

meeting on the board. 

In May, Kraus is moving 

to serve as the chairman 

of the Historic Preservation 

Commission. 

“It’s been fun, it’s been 

challenging and there still 

is some unfinished work to 

talk about,” Kraus said. 

The role of chairman 

will be taken over by board 

member Gary Peters. 

Although Kraus is 

leaving the board, he expressed 

hope in continuing 

to contribute to the 

village’s comprehensive 

plan, which is currently 

being rewritten. The board 

has been holding workshops 

to make edits and 

adjust their plan. The plan 

serves as a resource in the 

decision-making processes 

of village officials. 

“I’m happy to stay connected 

to the comprehensive 

plan,” Kraus said. 

“That is my intention. It 

feels sort of funny not having 

that complete.” 

Peters said the board 

will have at least one special 

meeting to further 

discuss and finalize the updated 

comprehensive plan.

reaching out to all the municipalities 

in Lake County 

to kick off these Go 

initiatives,” said Superintendent 

of Recreation Joe 

Mobile. “It’s an effort to 

get the community more 

active.” 

Lake Forest will hold 

its kick-off event May 19, 

during a two-mile community 

walk. Residents 

are invited to meet at the 

Metra train station downtown. 

From there, they’ll 

walk one mile north before 

turning around and 

walking one mile south. 

The walk is noncompetitive, 

and there is no 

timing. 

Moving forward, Busdeker 

said staff plans 

on holding two to three 

Go Lake Forest events 

throughout the year, as 

well as supporting other 

community events. 

Non-resident beach fees 

extend by an hour 

Also during the meeting, 

board members decided 

that non-residents visiting 

Lake Forest’s beach 

will now pay for an additional 

hour of beach time. 

The board members voted 

to extend non-residential 

paid beach hours to 7 p.m. 

Currently, non-residents 

are charged $10 per person 

per day for beach usage on 

Saturdays, Sundays, and 

holidays from 9 a.m. to 

6 p.m. For the upcoming 

beach season, which beings 

Memorial Day weekend, 

non-residents will 

have to pay through 7 p.m. 

Like all policies and 

programs, the new hours 

will undergo evaluation 

by Lake Forest Recreation 

staff at the end of 

the season, Mobile said. 

The department also plans 

to reevaluate the $10 fee 

by looking at neighboring 

towns’ beach fees and 

seeing where Lake Forest 

falls in that range.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

1 of 2 dead in Highland Park 

house fire identified 

The Lake County Coroner’s 

office identified Elaine Gassick, 

77, as one of two victims of a 

house fire Wednesday, April 18, 

in the 2000 block of Kipling 

Lane. 

The other deceased individual, 

a male, is yet to be identified, 

according to a release from 

coroner Howard Cooper, who 

added the cause of death for 

both individuals, as well as the 

cause of the fire, are still under 

investigation. 

According to a press release 

from the Village of Highland 

Park, the Highland Park Fire 

Department was joined by 10 

other departments in response 

to the house fire at 1:13 a.m. 

“At this point, it looks like 

we are still investigating everything,” 

said Howard Cooper, 

the Lake County coroner. “We 

are right in the middle of investigating.” 

At the scene, firefighters 

were met by “heavy smoke and 

flames” that kept them from 

entering the home, the release 

states. 

As the fire was being extinguished, 

two bodies were found. 

“Through the collective efforts 

of Highland Park and 

neighboring fire departments, 

we were able to contain the 

fire,” Highland Park Fire Chief 

Larry Amidei said in the release. 

“We are appreciative of 

the swift response and collaboration 

of all agencies involved 

and deeply saddened by the 

loss of life.”

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette approves stormwater 

storage option for flooding 

issues 

After a raucous public meeting, 

the village president and 

board of trustees of the Village 

of Wilmette voted for neighborhood 

stormwater storage to address 

flooding in west Wilmette 

on Tuesday, April 17. 

The plan was the third of three 

options that the board considered 

to address flooding west of 

Ridge Road. The neighborhood 

storage solution, which was projected 

to cost $48-$55 million in 

2017 dollars and could be phased 

in over two to three years, was 

chosen over sewer expansion 

(option 1) and a hybrid of sewer 

expansion and neighborhood 

storage (option 2), which were 

projected to cost $80-95 million 

and $70-80 million, respectively, 

and which would have taken longer 

to complete.

Unfortunately, they did not 

make it to the state championship 

until his junior year, when 

Grevers’ relay team made it to the 

finals. 

Grevers was the anchor for the 

team and needed to make up three 

seconds to win the state title. Unfortunately 

due to nerves and adrenaline, 

Grevers forgot to breathe, 

which slowed him down, and landed 

the team in second place. 

Grevers spent the day very mad 

at his performance and mistake. 

His attitude continued through 

awards, and he later realized his 

mood had an impact on his team. 

“It took me a while to realize 

one person can impact the entire 

room,” he said. “You have the 

power to bring people down. I 

have learned, you also have the 

power to bring people up. It is important 

to not let your own goals 

or accomplishments bring others 

down. You always have the opportunity 

to bring others up and 

help them feel better about the 

situation.” 

For Spain, she shared a story 

about being involved in just about 

everything in school, but never 

mastering many things. She noted 

that she was named senior superlative 

in high school and heptathlete 

in college, which for her 

is like “the jack of all trades, the 

master at nothing.” 

As she searched for a career and 

wasn’t totally sure what she wanted 

to do, she realized she had a variety 

of skill sets and used them to 

land herself a job with ESPN. 

Her message for young adults 

who are looking to achieve goals 

is simple. 

“I think having a diversity of 

interests and skills is super important,” 

Spain said. “Don’t get 

so stuck on something that you 

think you are meant to be. Whatever 

you are working on, do that 

100 percent. It is important to 

work hard no matter what you are 

given, no job is too low for you.”

A Look Into History 

England’s King’s School — Reform with tears 

David Forlow 

Contributing Columnist 

John “Jack” Crerar was 

born in Nova Scotia in 

1857. At age 14, Jack 

was sent to the prestigious 

King’s School in England 

where several members 

of the British royal family 

were educated. 

The Headmaster at 

King’s School ruled with 

an iron fist. History notes 

that student achievement 

was measured “from one 

thrashing to another”. 

Crerar was beaten by his 

teachers for insubordination, 

so he led a revolt. 

Students hid provisions 

in their dorms and barricaded 

themselves inside. 

Several days of student 

rioting followed. 

Afterwards, ringleader 

Crerar was promptly 

expelled. The school’s 

history recalls the incident 

as the “Reform with 

Tears.” 

Crerar then attended 

Inverness Academy in 

Scotland. He went on to 

graduate from the University 

of Glasgow where he 

remained and learned the 

shipping business. 

In 1879, Crerar came 

to the U.S. and worked 

for Scottish born William 

Stirling at Joliet Steel. 

Stirling was a resident 

of Lake Forest. Stirling 

Hall Arts and Activities 

Center on Old Mill Road 

is named for the family. 

Crerar later started his 

own coal and iron business. 

In 1900, he married 

Marie Owen and they had 

two daughters. Over the 

next 30 years, the family 

split their time between 

homes in Chicago and 

Lake Forest where they 

joined Onwentsia. 

Crerar went on to build 

the Denison and Sherman 

Railway in Texas, 

and accumulated large 

land holdings in Canada. 

He and wife Marie 

Crerar, later lived at 

900 Illinois Road where 

Crerar died in November 

of 1932. Marie moved to 

Nova Scotia where she 

died in 1957. 

Curiously, a slightly 

older John Crerar was also 

a wealthy Chicago industrialist. 

The John Crerar 

Library at the University 

of Chicago is named for 

him. John and Jack Crerar 

undoubtedly knew one another 

and belonged to the 

same charity. Their fathers 

were born in tiny villages 

very near one another 

in Scotland, but the two 

Chicago men never knew 

how they were related. 

At 6:30 p.m. on April 

26, the Historical Society 

will hold its annual meeting 

at its new home, 509 

E. Deerpath Road. We 

will honor the Spellman/ 

Jack Crerar lived at this home in Lake Forest on Illinois 

Road. PHOTO SUBMITTED 

Johnson family who first 

arrived in town in 1880. 

Refreshments will be 

served. 

David Forlow has been 

a Lake Bluff resident for 

more than 20 years. He 

serves as the board vice 

president for the Lake 

Forest-Lake Bluff Historical 

Society. To learn

Moms deserve more credit 

Alyssa Groh 


As I get older and 

look back on my 

childhood, I realize 

more and more how 

amazing my mother is. 

I personally think she 

is the best mom out there, 

but don’t we all think that 

about our moms? 

As Mother’s Day quickly 

approaches, I want 

to take this opportunity 

to give my mom a little 

shout-out so everyone can 

hear how special she is. 

When I think back to 

my childhood and the way 

my mom raised me, one of 

the things I admire most 

about her is her ability to 

give to others without asking 

for anything in return. 

I met my best friend 

on the first day of second 

grade. We hit it off immediately, 

and to this day, 

almost 17 years later, she 

is my best friend and a

The Board made a point

Capital Improvement Program 

memorializing the 

Board’s point of view that 

modeling, study and general 

engagement with the persistent 

issue of stormwater 

flooding must continue. 

President Bob Bielinski, 

sister I never had. 

While my best friend 

and I were inseparable 

from day No. 1, she 

quickly became a part of 

my family, almost literally. 

Soon, my parents realized 

my new friend was 

growing up in home that 

was not the best. She 

was the youngest of five 

children and her father at 

left home and moved to 

another country, while her 

mom did not work and 

struggled to make ends 

meet. 

My parents took it 

upon themselves, without 

anyone asking them to, 

and bought my friend all 

of her school supplies 

through our senior year of 

high school, new clothes 

for school each year and 

bought her food on a daily 

basis. 

Eventually, she moved 

in with us and she became 

a part of my family. 

My mom did all of 

these things without anyone 

asking because she 

saw someone in need and 

was able to help out. 

As I continued to grow 

up, my mom was always 

a listening ear for myself, 

my friends and other 

adults. She has always 

given the best advice. 

Today, as an adult, 

I think back and hope 

to one day be half the 

woman she is. 

I am thankful to have a 

mom, who has turned into 

my best friend, to enjoy 

shopping, gossiping, 

watching movies, sharing 

books with and creating a 

lifetime of memories with. 

Although my mom now 

lives in Florida, not a day 

goes by that I don’t call 

her. 

She has led an incredible 

example of what a 

good friend, mother and 

wife looks like. 

Has your mom gone 

above and beyond for 

you? Has she been there 

for you through thick 

and thin? Has she accomplished 

something 

incredible?

LFC students seek money 

to help launch businesses 

Erin Yarnall 


After seeing the water 

crisis emerge in Flint, 

Mich., where residents have 

been without clean drinking 

water for nearly four years, 

Lake Forest College students 

Karla Figueroa and 

Fatemah Riahi felt compelled 

to do something that 

could make a change. 

The two friends came up 

with an idea for Nibipure, 

a collapsible rain barrel 

with an inner filtration system. 

With their idea, they 

hope to provide safe water 

for washing clothes, doing 

dishes and potentially 

even drinking, to disaster 

areas including Flint, 

Puerto Rico and the city 

of Buenavista in Mexico, 

where Figueroa has family 

who are going without safe 

water after a devastating 

earthquake in 2017. 

The idea brought the two 

students $2,500 in investment 

capital as their pitch 

won Lake Forest College’s 

annual Pitch It competition 

on April 17 at Gorton 

Community Center. 

“Pitch It is Lake Forest’s 

version of Shark Tank,” 

said Trish Thomas, the director 

of entrepreneurship 

and innovation at Lake 

Forest College. 

The competition began 

with 35 teams pitching 

ideas, but through a series 

of eliminations, six teams 

made it to the final presentation. 

Teams were split into 

two tracks, depending on 

their pitches. Four of the 

teams at the Pitch It finals 

were competing in the 

social innovation track, 

in which their businesses 

“have a higher purpose beyond 

just making money,” 

Thomas said. 

“They have double 

bottom line businesses,” 

Thomas said. “While their 

ventures make money, 

they also cause good in the 

world.” 

The other two teams 

competed in the business 

venture track. There were 

also awards for the best 

pitch, the Identity Design 

award, which went to two 

students who designed logos 

for the event and each 

won $500 and for the best 

idea, which went to freshman 

Alec Brent, whose 

business didn’t make it to 

the finals, but showed promise, 

according to Thomas. 

The winners of each track 

were awarded $2,500, while 

runners up in each track 

were awarded $1,000. The 

winners of the best pitch 

were also given $2,500. The 

money was donated by the 

entrepreneurial advisory 

board at Lake Forest College. 

“For these guys, these 

aren’t prizes,” Thomas said. 

“The next step is to go out 

and raise seed capital from 

angel investors.”

In Memoriam 

Vernon Armour 

Vernon Armour, 90, of Lake 

Forest, died April 10. He was 

born in Lake Forest, to Lester and Leola 

Stanton Armour on July 1, 1927. 

He was a life-long Lake Forest resident

the United States Air Force. In 1947, Armour 

entered Yale University where he 

played on the varsity hockey team. Upon 

graduating he, and his wife Pamela (née

For decades, Armour was active in civic 

life in Chicago and Lake Forest where 

he held positions as a Trustee of Illinois

‘Alice in Wonderland’ takes audience down the rabbit hole 

Christa Rooks 


A whole new group of 

youth performers had the 

opportunity to perform 

the beloved story of “Alice 

in Wonderland.” 

Put on by the Performing 

Arts Students Theatre 

Academy, known more 

commonly as PASTA, on 

April 14, at the Gorton 

Community Center, this 

group of young actors 

got to try their hands at a 

show deeply ingrained in 

the group’s history. 

“This is the fourth time 

we’ve done ‘Alice in 

Wonderland,’” said Director 

Tom Beck. “We 

just really, really like it, 

but you always want to 

have a gap in between. So 

the last time we did it was 

four years ago.” 

This one-hour performance 

tells the story of 

the curious Alice, who 

chases the White Rabbit 

and ends up in the 

mysterious Wonderland. 

There, she meets a variety 

of eccentric characters, 

including Tweedle Dee 

and Tweedle Dum, the 

Mad Hatter and the Caterpillar. 

The journey all 

culminates with a showdown 

with the evil Queen 

of Hearts, who frequently 

demands her subjects be 

beheaded. 

A unique feature of this 

show is that casting calls 

for three different Alices 

— Tall Alice, Alice and 

Small Alice — as well as 

three Cheshire Cats who 

make up the character’s 

head, body and legs. It’s 

also one of the reasons 

Beck loves the show so 

much. 

“The thing we like about 

this show is we gave three 

girls the chance to play 

Alice in Wonderland, how 

great is that?” he said. 

In fact, it was that feature 

that drew Tyler Mannelly, 

who played Tall Alice, 

to the part. 

“[Alice] is a cool character 

to be,” she said. “I 

thought it would be fun 

because I liked when [Alice] 

changed sizes.” 

The actors rehearsed 

for two hours once a 

week since January, but 

it seemed all of the kids 

embraced and enjoyed the 

time spent preparing for 

the show. 

“It was really cool,” 

Bella Daehler, who played 

the Queen of Hearts, said. 

“You meet all these new 

people that [you’ve] never 

met, and work with them 

and make the show amazing 

and help them learn 

their lines.” 

Beck noted that all of 

the performers were eager 

to learn throughout the rehearsal 

process. 

“The kids come here 

and ... they want to learn 

and they want to do well 

as performers,” he said. 

“And so for two hours it’s 

a real joy to work with 

them.” 

One of the biggest challenges 

for many of the actors 

was memorizing their 

lines. Many said that they 

worked with their families 

to get all the dialogue 

down. 

Katie Kollasch, who 

played Tweedle Dum, 

said she spent a lot of time 

memorizing her part. 

“I basically just tried to 

remember the lines in my 

head so that I wouldn’t 

forget,” she said. 

Fortunately, the actors 

were committed to the 

task. 

“If you can practice 

enough, it’s easy to do if 

you’re committed,” Taylor 

Ross, who played the 

White Rabbit, said. 

Beck put together all 

aspects of the show with 

his wife, Susie, and Lake 

Forest College intern 

Emma Anderson. In addition 

to directing, Beck 

also builds sets and gathers 

props, while Susie 

takes care of costumes, 

tickets and other behind 

the scenes tasks. 

“We complement each 

other really well,” Beck 

said. 

“[Also], it’s really great 

to have [Anderson] because 

she loves theater 

and she’s able to rehearse 

the kids after we do the 

beginning blocking of the 

scene, she’s able to take 

them and work with the 

kids.” 

And at the end of the 

day, both Beck and the actors 

were all pleased with 

the result of the performance. 

“I think [the best part 

is when] all the audience 

members at the end, how 

they all clap for you, it 

feels really good,” Libby 

Whidden, who played 

Small Alice, said. 

As for Beck, he was 

thrilled with how much 

his students had learned 

over the past few months. 

“It’s gratifying to me to 

do these classes because 

you feel like you’re making 

an impact with them, 

that you’re reaching them 

and they really want to 

learn and they really want 

to do well.”

brunch-time hits 

STAFF REPORT 

Brunch — the hybrid 

breakfast/lunch meal eaten 

during the late morning/ 

early afternoon hours often 

accompanied by mimosas, 

sangrias and bellinis. 

While brunch has been 

an American favorite for 

decades, in recent years, 

millennials seem to have 

taken the trend to a new 

level, with brunch posts 

flooding social media 

feeds, restaurants across 

the city and suburbs touting 

exclusive brunch 

menus, and T-shirts from 

Target to boutique shops 

donning corny phrases like 

“Brunch so hard” and “But 

first, brunch.” 

But, with warmer temperatures 

on the horizon 

and several North Shore 

restaurants dedicating special 

brunch menus, how 

can eaters pass up the delicious 

options of breakfast 

and lunch favorites served 

at a time when the warm, 

seasonal sun is at its peak 

and appetites are the most 

ravenous? 

Here, we have a roundup 

of some of the area’s 

tastiest spots to hit up for a

and head on out to try them 

this spring.

brunch menu on Saturdays 

and Sundays and special 

brunch events on Easter 

and Mother’s Day. 

“I think Market House 

knows how to do hospitality,” 

Westcott said. “We 

love this community, love 

welcoming our guests in, 

love having families and 

helping them have a special 

experience. Mother’s 

Day is one of our favorite 

days here.” 

This year for Mother’s 

Day, Market House is taking 

reservations for a special 

Mother’s Day brunch 

beginning at 10 a.m. with 

the last seating at 2:30 p.m. 

The Mother’s Day 

brunch is $38 for adults, 

$18 for kids and includes 

a three-course meal and 

brunch cocktails. 

“We do three courses 

for Mother’s Day and it is 

kind of set up like prix fixe 

menu,” said Dan Marquis, 

the executive chef at Market 

House. 

The menu includes a 

variety of options, such 

as smoked salmon, eggs, 

French toast and avocado 

toast. 

I stopped into Market 

House and tried its famous 

avocado toast, made with 

artisan wheat bread topped 

with avocado and crab salad 

and served with a small 

side of petite greens. 

While this item will 

be on the Mother’s Day 

brunch menu, it is also on 

the regular brunch menu 

for $15. 

Westcott believes Market 

House’s brunch menu 

stands out from the rest 

because of Marquis’ cooking 

skills and his special 

attention on finding fresh 

ingredients that are locally 

The challah French toast is available on Meg’s Cafe 

brunch menu on Saturdays. A special catering menu 

will be offered for Mother’s Day. Megan Bernard/22nd

Challah French toast — 

Meg’s Cafe, Glencoe 

Why eat breakfast and 

lunch when you can delve 

into a brunch menu with 

twice the options? 

This Mother’s Day 

weekend, An Apple A 

Day Catering and Meg’s 

Cafe is serving up a special 

brunch menu for its 

patrons on May 12. The 

downtown spot at 317 

Park Ave., Glencoe, is 

open for brunch from 9:30 

a.m.-3:30 p.m. Saturdays. 

The cafe is closed on 

Sundays; therefore, it will 

not open for the actual holiday 

on May 13, but owner 

Barb Lepman said catering 

will be offered. 

“Our catering is very 

popular,” Lepman added 

about her restaurant, 

which is named after her 

daughter. “I expect [catering] 

to be busy that day.” 

If you are interested in 

brunch with Mom at the 

cafe, the in-house menu 

is abbreviated compared 

to catering offerings, but 

doesn’t lack variety. The 

menu offers a selection 

from pancakes and French 

toast to omelets and paninis. 

I strolled through the 

cafe’s bright red doors 

last week and sampled the 

challah French toast and 

Quiche Lorraine. 

The French toast was 

dusted with powdered sugar 

and accompanied with 

butter and a light maple 

syrup. The battered challah 

bread was thick and 

fried just enough, making 

for a good comfort dish. 

The cafe provides a 

nice escape, as diners enjoy 

their meals at whiteclothed 

tables with sun 

beaming in from nearby 

windows. 

I brought back the 

quiche to our newsroom 

and the entire pan disappeared 

within the morning 

hours. Each slice consisted 

of all the ingredients — 

eggs, bacon, Swiss and 

onions — and packed a 

savory flavor. 

The quiche is available 

on the catering menu. Other 

options include bagel 

and lox platters, vegetable 

frittata, crepes and eggs 

Florentine. 

Meg’s Cafe is open 10 

a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday 

and 9:30 a.m.-8 p.m. 

Saturday (for brunch). To 

One of the many brunch items available at Market 

House On The Square is the avocado toast, made with 

artisan wheat bread topped with avocado and crab 

salad and served with a small side of petite greens.

Breakfast pizza — 

Napolita Pizzeria & Wine 

Bar, Wilmettte 

When you think about 

eating pizza for breakfast, 

it usually involves heating 

up leftovers from the night 

before. 

That’s not how Wilmette’s 

Napolita Pizzeria 

& Wine Bar imagines 

things. 

As part of its brunch 

menu, Napolita offers 

three breakfast pizzas — 

buongiorno, svegliati and 

colazione. Each Neapolitan-inspired 

pie costs $15 

and is made fresh in the 

restaurant’s Stefano Ferrara 

oven, imported from 

Naples, Italy. The oven 

weighs in at 7,000 pounds 

and heats up to 900 degrees 

Fahrenheit. 

During a recent stop, a 

hungry editor was served 

the buongiorno (meaning 

“good morning” in Italian). 

This delicious creation 

features San Marzano 

tomatoes, basil, fresh 

mozzarella, bel paese 

(semi-soft Italian cheese), 

scrambled eggs, pancetta, 

roasted tomato, spinach 

and extra virgin olive oil, 

all imported from Italy. 

The buongiorno isn’t the 

only breakfast pizza available 

at Napolita during 

brunch, or pizza for that 

matter, as the entire menu 

can be ordered. The other 

breakfast pizzas are svegliati 

(founduta, pancetta, 

fontal, roasted potatoes, 

scrambled eggs, arugula 

and extra virgin olive oil) 

and colazione (Nutella, banana, 

strawberry and powdered 

sugar). 

“We’re brunch people. 

We love brunch,” said Josh 

Schonfeld, one of the owners 

of Napolita. “We want 

people to still be able to 

enjoy what Napolita has to 

offer, but enjoy brunch at 

the same time.” 

With a perfect mishmash 

of sweet and savory 

items, Napolita’s brunch 

runs from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. 

every weekend and reservations 

can be made at 

(224) 215-0305 or at www. 

napolitapizza.com. 

If the weather cooperates, 

the restaurant’s patio 

is set to open this week. 

The restaurant’s popular 

Mother’s Day brunch returns 

Sunday, May 13. 

Napolita Pizzeria & 

Wine Bar is open 11 

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

Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. 

Friday-Saturday and 11 

a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Chris Cavalaris 

Chris Cavalaris is a senior 

at Lake Forest High 

School and is an attacker 

on the boys lacrosse team. 

How did you get 

started playing 

lacrosse? 

I started playing lacrosse 

in first grade. My 

oldest brother John played 

in high school and I just 

picked it up since he was 

playing it. I wasn’t very 

good at baseball and I 

wanted to play a spring 

sport, so I just picked up 

lacrosse one day. 

Why do you love the 

sport? 

I just like the speed of 

the game. I’m also a football 

player. It’s very uptempo, 

nonstop game and I 

like the stick skills that are 

involved. The whole game 

in general has just been really 

fun to me. 

Do you think lacrosse 

helps you with 

football and vice 

versa? 

Yeah, I think the movement 

in lacrosse really 

translates over to my 

movement in football in 

terms of speed and agility. 

My physicalness in 

football, in terms of hitting 

people and being physical 

has come over to lacrosse. 

What is a challenging 

part of lacrosse? 

A challenging part of lacrosse 

would be staying up 

on my stick skills and just 

always being consistent 

with accurate passes and 

being able to catch the ball 

consistently. 

What is a memorable 

moment you’ve had 

with the team? 

Probably the most memorable 

moment was last 

year in the playoffs when 

we beat St. Viator to go 

to the semifinal. That was 

probably the biggest moment 

and most memorable. 

What is something 

people don’t know 

about you? 

My siblings and my parents 

don’t really call me 

Chris; they call me either 

Baby Genius or Baby Hercules. 

Where is your favorite 

place to eat in either 

Lake Forest or Lake 

Bluff? 

The Chipotle in Lake 

Bluff. 

Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

Dublin, Ireland. I’ve 

been there before. I’m half 

Irish and it was really cool 

when I visited. I’m just 

overall a big Irish fan, I 

love the whole Irish scene. 

Who is your favorite 

professional athlete? 

I would say Connor Mc- 

Gregor, the UFC fighter. 

Also, I like Julian Edelman 

from the New England 

Patriots. 

If you have a celebrity 

entourage, who would 

be in it? 

Connor McGregor, Margot 

Robbie and, the third 

is tough, Bradley Cooper. 

Bradley Cooper, I feel like 

he’d be a really cool guy to 

hang out with. Margo Robbie, 

I have a huge celebrity 

crush on her. 

Interview by Sports Editor 

Brittany Kapa 

LACROSSE 

From Page 29 

“We made some mental 

mistakes but the guys gutted 

it out. 

“Nolan (Swain) did a 

good job on faceoffs. He 

was doing a lot of good 

things. That helps though 

and that’s why we were 

able to get up so big early.” 

After a second quarter 

that saw six goals, the 

Scouts held the Trevians 

scoreless in the third period. 

The Scouts scored 

twice to cut the deficit to 

8-5 going into the final 

period. Mead Payne and 

Luke Milliman scored the 

goals for Lake Forest in 

the period. 

“This is our first big 

competition of the year,” 

Payne said. “We came out 

naturally a little nervous. 

But then in the second half 

we kind of felt more comfortable, 

got more focused, 

and started controlling it a 

little bit more.” 

In the fourth quarter everything 

seemed to click 

for the Scouts, and goalie 

Alex Thoms had some 

notable saves to keep the 

score close. 

“They play really fast, 

so that was definitely a 

challenge for us,” Thoms 

said about the struggles of 

the first half. “I think that 

showed in the end score. 

They’re clean and that’s 

what really killed us today.” 

The team’s confidence 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

grew, like Payne said, during 

the game and by the end 

the Scouts were working 

like a well-oiled machine. 

“New Trier is a great 

team and I think we played 

right with them,” Thiergart 

said. 

All six of Lake Forest’s 

goals were scored by difference 

players, a good 

sign of the team’s welldispersed 

offense. 

“One of the things we 

have this year is a really 

deep team,” Thiergart added. 

“We have a lot of kids 

that contribute. There’s not 

just one superstar, we’ve 

got great goalies, great 

defense, we’ve got great 

offensive kids and everybody 

works hard and they 

believe in themselves.”

Boys lacrosse 

Scouts defense keeps Trevians at bay in second half 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Contributing Sports Editor 

One of the more key 

aspects of lacrosse is the 

faceoff. 

Generally, if a team 

dominates on the faceoff, 

it is well on its way to victory. 

Lake Forest bested 

New Trier on that strategy 

alone, Thursday, April 19, 

in Northfield. The Trevians 

won 10-of-14 first-half 

faceoffs. That advantage 

led to an 8-3 halftime lead, 

en route to a 9-6 Trevians 

win. 

“I think we played a 

pretty decent game, we 

just had a mental lapse,” 

Lake Forest coach Marc 

Thiergart said. “We had 

three unforced errors right 

in a row. We had a lot of 

penalties and we got behind 

by four or five goals. 

The second half we only 

gave up one goal.” 

Thiergart noted that his 

team has a lot of “heart and 

hustle” and attributes that 

with his team’s ability to 

fight back in the last period. 

“We have a lot of good 

seniors that just didn’t 

want to give up and we’re 

a good team,” he said. “We 

just got behind and we’ll 

get them next time.” 

New Trier’s Johnny Maday 

scored the first of his 

five goals 48 seconds into 

the game, fed by a pass from 

Henry Freedman. However, 

the Scouts bounced back 

by scoring two consecutive 

goals, giving them their 

only lead of the game. Jack 

Mislinski’s goal at the 9:38 

mark and Connor Armstrong’s 

at the 7:44 mark 

Alex Thoms (middle) makes a save during the first period of the team’s game against 

New Trier, Thursday, April 19, in Northfield. Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media 

put the Scout ahead for that 

brief moment. 

The lead was shortlived, 

New Trier’s Dylan 

Bruno tied the game with 4 

minutes, 37 seconds left in 

the first half and Maday’s 

second goal, with just 

over a minute-and-a-half 

remaining, gave the Trevians 

a 3-2 lead going into 

the second quarter. 

Lake Forest’s middie 

George Schoettle’s tied 

the game once again just 

26 seconds into the second 

quarter. Hazard Bahr’s 

goal at 8:41 put New Trier 

once again; his team would 

lead the rest of the game. 

The Trevians ended 

the half by scoring four 

straight goals, two by Maday 

and two by Freedman. 

Maday’s final two goals 

of the half were off interceptions 

deep in the Lake 

Forest defensive zone. The 

second goal came off of an 

interception of a Lake Forest 

goalie clear. 

“We were moving the 

ball well and had good, 

long possessions, so we 

just worked for open shots 

and for me they were landing 

today,” Maday said. 

For as well as the Trevians 

offense played in the 

first half, it was the Lake 

Forest defense that stood 

out in the second. 

“It was a high-intensity 

game and Lake Forest is 

a good team,” New Trier 

coach Tom Herrala said.

Odd call works in Scouts favor against Stevenson 

David Jaffe 


The Lake Forest baseball 

team stayed in control of its 

game against Stevenson on 

Friday, April 20, thanks to 

the performance of pitcher 

Connor Morrison. 

Morrison went six and 

a third innings, giving up 

two runs on five hits and 

two walks with five strikeouts. 

Even with that performance, 

the visiting Patriots 

rallied to score two 

runs with two outs in the 

top of the seventh to tie the 

game. Stevenson, down to 

its last out, tied the game 

in the seventh on a two-run 

single. 

That could have been a 

devastating blow for the 

Scouts (3-8, 2-5), but instead 

they responded. And 

the game ended in bizarre 

fashion as Colton Pfeifer 

won the game in the bottom 

of the seventh with an 

RBI single when Stevenson’s 

third baseman interfered 

with Drew Golde 

trying to score. The run 

was ultimately awarded to 

Lake Forest giving them 

the 4-3 win. 

“At the end of the game, 

you have to look for a 

pitch that you can drive,” 

Pfeifer said. “I didn’t get 

the hardest hit but was able 

to get a piece of it and hit it 

in a good spot. You have to 

know what you want to do 

at the plate before you’re 

up. My goal was to hit a 

rocket.” 

“It was great that Colton 

was able to put the ball in 

play in a very big situation,” 

Lake Forest coach 

Ray Del Fava said. “They 

were able to do that in the 

top of the seventh and we 

did a good job responding. 

We showed a lot of resiliency 

with our at-bats in

the last inning. We were 

also in the position we 

wanted to be in if we had to 

bat in the seventh with the 

top of our order with guys 

like Caleb (Durbin), Drew 

and Andrew (Gough).” 

It was a finish that isn’t 

often seen in baseball and 

with an interference call that 

was clearly the correct call; 

Golde would have scored. 

“It shows you that anything 

can happen in baseball,” 

Pfeifer said. “A lot 

of stuff can go through 

your head in the situation 

that we were in but you 

have to just throw that 

away and stop thinking 

about things like that when 

you’re at the plate.” 

The Scouts haven’t been 

the strongest offensive 

team this season. They 

only scored four runs, but 

looked much more confident 

at the plate and were 

consistently getting runners 

on base and in scoring 

position. They struck first 

on Michael Vallone’s RBI 

double in the second. They 

increased the advantage to 

2-0 on Peter Turelli’s RBI 

infield hit in the third. 

“Everyone was just playing 

with energy and you 

could see the team getting 

happier with every hit we 

had,” Pfeifer said. “When 

we have that type of energy, 

it leads to better at-bats 

and that ultimately resulted 

in some good hits.” 

Lake Forest made it 

3-1 in the fifth thanks to 

Durbin’s baserunning. He 

singled, then advanced all 

the way to third on Golde’s 

sacrifice bunt. Then when 

Pfeifer hit a ground ball, 

he beat the throw home for 

the crucial insurance run. 

“Good at-bats have sort 

of been the bane of our existence 

this season,” Del 

Fava said. “But we had 

much better approaches 

and put ourselves in situations 

to score. It was nice 

to see. Hopefully this can 

be a springboard of better 

things to come.” 

Morrison’s one tough 

inning came in the fifth as 

Stevenson scored on an 

RBI groundout. The Patriots 

had runners at the corners 

with two outs but Morrison 

forced a popup on the 

first pitch to end the inning. 

“I don’t think you can 

say enough about how 

Connor pitched,” Del Fava 

said. “When he was on, he 

was very tough to hit. And 

when he faced adversity, 

he stepped up and got out 

of tough situations. It was 

just a shame he couldn’t 

end up with the win.” 

Youth Baseball 

Lake Forest House League holds opening day ceremony 

Todd Marver 


A week made all the 

difference in opening day 

ceremonies for two local 

youth baseball leagues. 

The Lake Forest Baseball 

House League hosted 

its opening day ceremony 

Saturday, April 21, 

at Deerpath Community 

Park. And with no rain 

and a relatively warm day, 

it was a stark contrast to 

Lake Bluff’s opening day 

experience. 

“It’s a nice way to get the 

season going after we’ve 

had a long winter and 

we start playing games,” 

Bronco coach Ben Gibson 

said about the opening day 

ceremony. 

The teams lined up on 

the field and each team 

name was read one-byone 

by Lake Forest Parks 

and Recreation Athletics 

Program Supervisor Jason 

Olson, who served as the 

emcee for the opening day 

ceremony. 

After the teams were 

announced, a recording of 

the national anthem was 

played over the speakers 

and the ceremonial first 

pitch was thrown. 

Former White Sox 

player Adam Russell was 

scheduled to throw out the 

first pitch but was unable 

to make it. Olson threw out 

the first pitch instead. 

“Unfortunately our 

special guest Adam Russell 

could not make it this 

morning so the next best 

thing is going to be me,” 

Olson said. “I’m going to 

throw out the first pitch. I 

manage the program so I 

don’t mind opening up the 

season for the kids and the 

program.” 

Olson thanked the sponsors 

that are helping out 

with the program this 

year including Northwestern 

Medical, Lake Forest 

Health and Fitness Center, 

Knollwood Animal Hospital 

and Life Storage. 

“Our sponsors help 

us support our uniform 

costs,” Olson said. “That’s 

the main thing; they help 

support the uniform costs 

so we can buy the uniforms 

since it’s a significant cost 

for the program.” 

Olson also thanked the 

Lake Forest Baseball Association, 

a partner that 

Lake Forest Parks and 

Recreation works closely 

with. The partnership allows 

players to play baseball 

in a seamless manner

between both organizations. 

The Bronco and Pony 

House League programs 

engage in a semi-competitive 

travel-like league, the 

North Shore Youth House 

Baseball League, where 

they compete against programs 

from neighboring 

communities. 

The other age groups, 

Pinto and Mustang, play 

games in-house. 

“As you can see, we are 

growing baseball again 

here in Lake Forest,” Olson 

said.

Thoms, and the 

Scouts boys

worked together 

to keep New Trier 

to one goal in the 

second half in an 

attempt to even 

the score. 

Barbara Canty compared 

Sewanee: The University 

of the South’s campus 

to the fictional school 

of Hogwarts in the Harry 

Potter series. 

She couldn’t be more 

excited to start her next 

academic adventure, and 

athletic career, at the picturesque 

college campus. 

“I was looking at them 

in the fall of last year and 

then I came for an overnight 

visit and I really like 

the school,” said Cantry, a 

field hockey player at Lake 

Forest High School. “I like 

the players and the coaches 

– I just geeked out basically 

– and fell in love.” 

Canty applied to the 

school and found out in 

December 2017 that she 

would continue her field 

hockey career with the 

school. 

Canty, and three other 

seniors, all signed their 

letter of intent April 11 at 


in a small ceremony attended 

by teammates, family 

members and friends. 

Canty was also excited 

in the variety activities and 

educational options Sewanee 

offers, among other 

benefits. 

“A lot of liberal arts 

school emphasize on the 

community and the community 

feel,” she said. 

“[Sewanee] is definitely 

one that is like no other 

college I’ve ever been to

athletes that signed to Division-III colleges April 11 at Lake Forest High School during a signing day event. 


see. You can play field 

hockey and you can also 

do so much more with 

what you’re interested in.” 

Joseph Pasquesi, a 

Lake Forest wrestler, 

and Jon’nah Williams, 

Lake Forest softball, will 

both stay in the area as 

they move on to regional 

schools. 

Pasquesi committed to 

Cornell College in Iowa 

and Williams will head 

north to the University of 

Wisconsin-Whitewater. 

For Pasquesi it only took 

three visits to other college 

campuses to know that he 

wanted to be at Cornell 

next year. 

“It’s an awesome community, 

the coaches there 

are awesome, and the 

team there is awesome,” 

he said. “Somebody who I 

wrestled with, Gage Griffin, 

he’s there. He’s not 

wrestling at the moment, 

but he’s there and it’s awesome 

to have him around. 

He’s a role model to me.” 

Pasquesi is looking 

forward to the collegewrestling 

experience, and 

growing his knowledge of 

the sport in the process. 

“I’m excite just to learn 

and expand my wrestling 

to places it’s never gotten 

to,” he said. “Especially at 

the college level, it’s really 

only going to better me, so 

I’m excited for that.” 

For Williams, UW- 

Whitewater is a dream 

achieved. 

“When I was doing my 

recruiting process they 

were my No. 1 school,” 

Williams said. “I was contacting 

[the coach] but I 

didn’t get anything back 

until recently.” 

When Williams didn’t 

hear anything from UW’s 

coach, she started to look 

at other colleges in Pennsylvania 

and New Jersey, 

but in the end wanted to 

stay local. 

“I love the school, first 

of all, it’s so beautiful and 

it’s small,” she said. “It’s 

not tiny, like 4,000, but 

it’s small enough where 

it’s large but not too big. 

I wanted to go DIII, but I 

wanted to have competition 

and not just blow it 

off. 

“I feel like there I would 

be challenged, grow and 

have competition.” 

To the center fielder’s 

relief, she was able to sign 

to the school. Lake Forest 

softball coach Susie Brugioni 

is confident Williams 

will do well at UW next 

year. 

“She’s worked really 

hard at it,” Brugioni said. 

“Even for her, she’s a great 

athlete. She has really 

learned to use her speed 

and her athleticism to her 

advantage ... she’s just a 

good all-around player.” 

Quinn Dailey made his 

commitment to New York 

University official at the 

April 11 signing day. 

Dailey’s decision was 

made in December and 

was previously written 

about by The Leader.
