Wilmette approves stormwater
storage option for flooding issues
Nathan Worcester
Freelance Reporter
“We’ve been talking about this
for five years. We have asked
and had answered for us every
question imaginable over the
five years.”
Bob Bielinski — Wilmette Village President on
stormwater decision April 17
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.
The Board made a point
of adding a study to the
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,
Trustee Kathy Dodd,
Trustee Julie Wolf, Trustee
Senta Plunkett, and Trustee
Daniel E. Sullivan, Jr.
voted in favor of the motion.
Trustee Joel Kurzman
voted against it, citing
moral concerns.
The meeting began with
a discussion by the Board
of Trustees, staff, and consulting
engineers.
“There is not one single
reason why there’s flooding
in west Wilmette,” Engineering
& Public Works
Director Brigitte Berger
said. “Topography is a primary
reason. Also, west
Wilmette is very highly
developed, and there’s
very limited open green
space. [At] the time that
the stormwater system
was developed, there were
not comprehensive stormwater
management techniques
or plans to develop
that system… The existing
system serves a two-year
storm, which is not much
more than a spring rain, to
fill up that system.”
Responding to citizen
concerns, Berger emphasized
that Wilmette could
not purchase homes or
solely rely on green infrastructure
to address flooding,
though she did say
that green infrastructure
could play a complementary
role.
Dodd asked if the Village
had yet attempted to
engage with the Wilmette
Park District. Village Manager
Timothy J. Frenzer
responded that it was too
early to begin engagement
with that agency or
the many other levels of
government with which
the Village will ultimately
have to coordinate when
developing and installing
the new stormwater system.
Joe Johnson, of Stantech,
which provided cost
estimates for the project,
also answered questions.
Wolf asked Johnson how
green infrastructure might
be incorporated. Johnson
echoed Berger, saying
that green infrastructure,
though complementary
to the larger engineering
solution, “would not be a
major element that would
solve the flooding problem
on the west side.”
Plunkett asked Johnson
how the neighborhood storage
option would cope with
unusually large storms or
back-to-back storms.
“Even if we had a hundred
year storm, the neighborhood
storage [option]
would drain back out in
less than a day,” Johnson
said.
Johnson said that the 60
years of local data from
O’Hare Airport that he had
analyzed suggested that
two major storms in quick
succession were extremely
rare and thus not a significant
concern. He also noted
that the projects were
“relatively independent,”
suggesting that multiple
options could be pursued
at different points in time.
“We’ve been talkiing
about this for five years,”
Bielinski said.

Wilmette student set to live out dream in NYC
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Anya Liu will see her
dream come true.
The 13-year-old Marie
Murphy student and Wilmette
resident has been selected
for the 2018 Middle
School Performance Series
and will perform as a
violinist at Carnegie Hall
with the Honors Junior Orchestra
in June.
“It is such an honor for
me and a dream come
true,” said Liu, who also is
a pianist. “Ever since I was
little, I heard other violinists
and pianists play and
wanted to perform in an
orchestra.”
Mary Rudzinski, the
Marie Murphy and Wilmette
Junior High Orchestra
teacher, nominated Liu.
She auditioned last fall for
the Honors Performance
Series and was accepted
after a review by the Honors
Selection Board.
“Being selected to the
Honors Performance Series
is something Liu
should be extremely proud
of accomplishing,” said
Nancy Richardson, program
director of the Honors
Performance Series at
Carnegie Hall. “Acceptance
to this elite group is
a direct result of the talent,
dedication and achievements
demonstrated in her
application and audition
recording.”
Liu will join other performers
from 44 U.S.
states, several provinces
of Canada, Isle of Man,
Mexico and
Taiwan.
“I did not
really expect
to be
selected,”
Liu said. “I
checked my Liu
email during
school one day and
saw that I made it. I was so
excited and immediately
called my parents and told
them the good news.”
Liu said while her parents
enjoy music, they are
not particularly musical
when it comes to playing
instruments.
She thinks her brother,
Samuel, a New Trier junior,
may have influenced
her.
“My interest in music
probably has something
Anya Liu, 13, of Wilmette, who will be performing at
Carnegie Hall has a violinist in June, also plays the
piano. Photo submitted
to do with watching my
brother play,” Liu said. “I
thought his playing was
really cool and told my
parents that I wanted to do
that, too.”
Liu says she started
playing the violin in first
grade and began the piano
in fourth grade.
“I really enjoy music,”
Liu said. “The pieces I play
are all different and give
different feelings and emotions.
Playing the violin and
piano makes me happy.”
She obviously reads music
but sometimes plays by
ear.
“I listen to a piece and
sometimes can play it
without looking at the
sheet music for the number,”
Liu said.
Liu’s life is not all music.
She is a member of a
local swim club, Swift
Aquatics, and involved
in her school’s Science
Olympiad. Liu and members
of her science team
recently went to state competition
in Champaign and
won third place.
Liu will join other junior
finalist performers for five
days in June in New York.

Wilmette rabbi champions kidney advocacy following transplant
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Things happen sometimes, but
no one knows for sure why. Then
two people’s lives cross paths
and the reason usually makes itself
known. Such is the case of
Wilmette resident Rabbi Andy
Bossov.
In 1994, Bossov received a diagnosis
of ulcerative colitis and
given medication.
“I was one out of about 10,000
people on a medication who was
allergic to it,” Bossov said. “That
allergic reaction affected my kidneys.”
Bossov went to a gastroenterologist
who tested him, did a biopsy
and discovered his kidneys
had only a 27 percent functionality.
Bossov’s numbers stabilized
once he was off the harmful
medication. That lasted until the
fall of 2005 when his numbers
changed. Bossov’s name went
on a transplant list and he had to
undergo dialysis.
At the time, Bossov was a
member of an interfaith clergy
group in Mt. Laurel, N.J. near
where his congregation was located.
One of its members was
Rev. Karen Onesti, a Methodist
minister.
“We would meet the fourth
Wednesday of every month,”
Onesti said. “I had a conflict
and missed the November 2005
meeting. In January 2006 I arrived
at our meeting early and
heard a couple members asking
Rabbi Andy [Bossov] how he
was feeling.”
Onesti was surprised to hear
about Bossov’s kidney problems
and that he was on a transplant
list.
“I asked him what his blood
type was,” Onesti said. “He replied
A-positive and said he does
not have any family member
who could donate a kidney.”
“Karen told me that she would
give him one of her kidneys,”
Bossov said. “She said her family
members live to be in their
90s. Karen told me to pray on
it and that her husband, Frank,
would agree.”
The two prayed. The next
morning Onesti told Bossov her
husband said yes.
Onesti went through the testing
and was almost a perfect
match except there were growths
in her abdominal area. Fibroids
were growing in her uterus. She
had them removed.
Onesti got tested again and
found to be “clean.” Bossov’s
name for a live kidney transplant
consequently moved higher up
on the list.
“A kidney from a live donor,
which never was on ice, is more
likely to start working almost
immediately,” Bossovs said.
“The blood flow usually starts
sooner. A cadaver kidney sometimes
takes longer to start working.”
Bossov fondly remembers the
Kidney transplant bills in front of U.S. House
• H.R. 3976 would protect patient access to health coverage
by requiring insurance companies to accept payments from
nonprofit charitable organizations like AKF that serve people
who are living with serious health conditions and need
charitable assistance to stay insured. This would help ensure
that financially vulnerable patients with chronic conditions
such as kidney disease are protected against discrimination.
• H.R. 1270 would protect living organ donors by prohibiting
insurance companies from denying or limiting coverage for
life, disability and long-term care insurance. The bill would
also clarify that living organ donors may use the Family and
Medical Leave Act to recover from donation surgery and
maintain job security.
2006 holidays.
“It was December 2006, almost
a year later and just before
Hanukah and Christmas that I received
the good news,” Bossov
said.
There was a service at Bossov’s
congregation and a similar
one at Onesti’s praying for a
positive outcome.
The surgery took place on Jan.
23, 2007.
Members of Bossov’s congregation
and Onesti’s church held
a vigil at the hospital while they
waited for news of both surgeries.
All went well and Bossov’s
new kidney started functioning
almost immediately.
“The doctors told me the kidney
was pink, which meant blood
was flowing as it should,” Bossov
said. “The date, Jan. 23, will
always be like a second birthday
for me. It is now 11 years later
and I feel like a poster child for
kidney transplants. There are no
problems and my new kidney
continues to work fine.”
“People said we were meant
to meet and share one of my kidneys,”
Onesti said. “It is all according
to a divine plan.”
The two continue to stay in
touch, meeting each other at
least twice a year.
“We are like a kid brother and
sister,” Bossov said.
Bossov in March participated
in the American Kidney Fund’s
“Fly In” program in Washington,
D.C. The two-day event included
meeting other kidney transplant
recipients and for engaging
in advocacy training.
Bossov and his fellow advocates
went up to Captiol Hill on
World Kidney Day, March 8, to

seek support for two bills: H.R.
3976, the Access to Marketplace
Insurance Act and H.R. 1270, the
Living Donor Protection Act.
Bossov returned home to Wilmette
where he grew up and continues
to live. He is a New Trier
High School graduate and attended
Northwestern University
where he studied piano, music
theory and composition.
Bossov now serves as a freelance
rabbi, pianist and vocalist.
“I worked on our New Trier
40th reunion party,” said Bossov.
“We now are aiming for our 48th
reunion. We don’t want to wait
for the 50th.”

Wilmette’s ReDefined Fitness assists homeless shelter
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
Eric Smoot and Silviu
Gansca, co-owners of Wilmette’s
ReDefined Fitness,
know there’s no better way
to strengthen their client’s
hearts than by combining
effective workouts with
the chance to bring cheer
to those in need. So, it
was no surprise when the
duo recently reached out
to their clientele, asking
for their help to benefit the
women and children of the
YWCA Evanston/North
Shore’s homeless shelter.
The story begins this
past summer when Smoot
and Gansca had organized
a fun afternoon of sports
and play at Lovelace Park
in Evanston for several
youth-serving organizations.
The YWCA was
excited to be invited, but
declined because they did
not have the transportation.
Smoot and Gansca
jumped into action, told
their clients about the situation,
and quickly raised
$10,000, purchasing a
minivan from Jennings
Chevrolet in Glenview.
“We bring all our ideas
to the clients, and everyone
immediately helps,”
Smoot said. “ReDefined
clients have big hearts
and want to help. I find
the people who need the
help, and they do the rest.
It makes everyone who
comes in here feel good
about themselves physically
and emotionally.”
For Smoot, his desire
to help others stems from
a past filled with fear and
uncertainty. His parents
struggled with drug addiction,
using and selling
throughout his childhood.
He bounced between
Evanston and Gary, Ind.,
living in poverty; twice in
his life, Smoot was homeless.
Instead of being bitter
about the cards that
life had dealt him, Smoot
stayed positive, crediting
his hardships and even his
parents for making him
who he is today.
“My mom certainly had
her ups and downs, but
the way I see it, being an
addict was just one part
of her,” Smoot said. “She
was also an entrepreneur,
opening her own beauty
shop in Evanston. She
taught me that even when
things were bad, there
was always something to
be grateful for; a message
that has stuck with me ever
since.”
Smoot’s fate took a turn
for the better when his
friend’s mother, despite
her own financial struggles,
adopted him, and his
track coach recognized his
talent, taking Smoot under
his wing.
“When my friend’s
mother, who I refer to as
my Godmother, adopted
me, I remember her saying,
‘I don’t have much,
but I will love you,’”
Smoot said. “At the same
time, my track coach took
on the role of my father
and never gave up on me.
I knew everything was going
to be alright because of
this stability in my life.”
These experiences profoundly
impacted Smoot,
motivating him, as an
adult, to give back to atrisk
children. Smoot understands
how one, kind
gesture from an adult, can
make all the difference in
their lives. He works with
the Ark Homeless Shelter
for Women and Families
in Gary, Indiana, Family
Focus in Evanston, Connections
for the Homeless
and more. At his posh studio,
garbage bags full of
donations, regularly line
his gym, as he remains
consistently committed to
helping others.
“See, I had to go through
my own troubles, so that I
could later help someone
else,” Smoot said. “I know
how important it is for a
kid to have a supportive,
stable adult in their lives;
I tell the kids I work with,
‘you can overcome anything
with love.’”
Gansca too knows what
it means to go without,
and how the kindness of
strangers can make all the
difference in the world. At
age 12, he moved to the
United States from Romania,
with nothing but the
clothes on his back.
“I understand what it
is like to have nothing; to
start from scratch,” Gansca
said. “But, because of
the generosity of complete
strangers, my family and I
were given food, clothing
and anything else we needed
to survive and thrive.”
Smoot and Gansca have
made it part of their business
motto to continuously
give back and are committed
to taking their clients
along for the ride.
“We have a very generous
and supportive community
here at ReDefined,”
Gansca said. “They
get behind us and make
our goals to help others,
possible. We couldn’t do it
without them; it’s the culture
around here – a team
effort between us and our
clients.”
Both Smoot and Gansca
say the struggles of their
past, positively impact
their future, reminding
them to be grateful and
joyful for all they have today.
“I’m grateful every
day. I have a job, a family,
a house. I know firsthand
how important it is
to bridge the gap between
the haves and the haves

not. So much of what happens
to us in our lives is
a result of circumstance.
But, what I tell those who
are struggling, is that they
can break the cycle of poverty.
They have the choice
to find stable and healthy
relationships; most importantly,
they can discover
the gift of gratitude, which
will lead to ultimate joy
and the desire to make
your life the best it can
be,” Smoot said.

Wilmette dance company continues successful year with awards
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
The Studio North Academy
of the Performing
Arts (SNAP) Senior Dance
Company in Wilmette has
enjoyed their most successful
year, earning several
first-place overall awards at
recent competitions.
While owner Pamela Sue
Fox is certainly pleased
with the results, she says
it is her students’ dedication
to training and love
for dance that deserves the
most recognition.
“Our focus here at SNAP
is to provide a pre-professional
experience, focusing
on artistry and technique,
while helping to develop a
well-rounded young adult,”
she said. “Competitions are
just one part of our what we
do and something I keep in
check. The dance world
EVANSTON’S
has become very focused
on competitions over the
years; I feel an appropriate
balance will offer our students
the benefits of competitions,
without becoming
all consumed by them
either.”
Olivia Rogers, 18, a
senior at New Trier, has
danced at SNAP since the
seventh grade. She credits
her fellow dancers’ dedication
to training as the reason
the company had such
a successful year.
“We work really hard all
year long, so when it comes
to performances or competition
time, we are already
very prepared, and can focus
on fine-tuning our numbers,”
she said. “We dance
in small groups, breaking
each step down; we dance
in front of larger groups,
gaining each other’s feedback
and to become comfortable
performing in front
of a crowd. Really, we are a
very close-knit group, and
everyone wants to do their
best and bring out the best
in each other.”
Amy Boyle, 17, a NT senior,
said that rehearsals for
winter competitions and
performances often start in
the summer, giving ample
time to perfect a routine.
While she is sad to leave
SNAP behind upon graduation,
she is thankful for
the valuable tips she has
learned along the way that
can be applied to dance and
every day life as well.
“We are taught to rise
up to the best dancer in the
room,” Boyle said. “You
always know the one dancer
who is working their
hardest, remaining most

wilmettebeacon.com
New Trier District 203 School Board
Long-standing adviser system may undergo updates
Daniel I. Dorfman
Freelance Reporter
New Trier High School
officials believe there are
several positive aspects
to the current administration
of the school’s adviser
system, yet noted some adjustments
may be made in
the future.
Throughout the course
of three years, a Washington
D.C.–based research
firm was retained by the
school to examine the
school’s adviser program
where the framework has
been in place for more
than 50 years, according
to school officials. Results
and findings were the topic
of discussion at the school
board’s regular meeting
Monday, April 16.
Among the topics studied
was students having
advisers of the same gender,
which has been the
long-standing situation at
New Trier.
Nevertheless, that policy
may be altered at some
point as the school reaches
out to its transgender student
community.
“I hate the thought of
a kid walking into an adviser
every day feeling
marginalized and not belonging
there,” said Greg
Robitaille, school board
president.
Choices
aregood.
Assistant Superintendent
Tim Hayes noted there
wasn’t a consensus opinion
from the student body on
the gender situation.
“Some students want
that to be a change and
some don’t,” Hayes said.
Adjustments in terms
of communication with
parents, standardizing a
school message or when
a student should talk to an
adviser versus their class
teacher might be areas
where changes could be
made.
Superintendent Paul
Sally believed the system
worked well, but was not
perfect.

“Examining what areas
we need to improve is always
important,” Sally said.
Hayes recommended
any changes on the adviser
program be part of
the upcoming update to
the school’s strategic plan
that may be reviewed and
approved by the board in
January 2019.
Overall, Hayes noted the
adviser program goes back
1917 and it was formalized
in 1924, and last reviewed
in 1965.
“It seemed appropriate
to conduct another study
of the program just to determine
in the decades
that had gone, there were
significant changes that
we should take a look at,”
Hayes said.

useful in all areas of life.”
Fox cites the benefits of
competitions as a place to
gain valuable feedback,
build camaraderie among
dancers and teams, and the
chance to see other dancers
of various levels perform.
“Competitions can be
inspiring and motivating,”
Fox said. “Many of our
students come back from
competitions with fresh
ideas and a desire to work
even harder. But, competitions
aren’t the only place
to become inspired. We
often dance at senior living
centers and I see just as
much joy come from putting
a smile on an elderly
person’s face. My point
is, again, competitions are
at the Winnetka campus
and 40 at the freshman
Northfield campus. Hayes
said advisers are available
to spend 25 minutes
per day with students and
there is an approximate 25
student-per-adviser ratio.
Hayes noted the adviser,
among other things, serves
as the student’s advocate
and the majority of parents
were happy with the program,
based on the results
they received.
“Parents view the program
as having a significant
impact on their ability
to work with the school,”
Hayes said. “It gives the
parent an advocate for their
student at the school.”
School officials acknowledge
some teachers
have backed away from
a piece of what we do —
an overall compliment to
all the opportunities our
students receive, allowing
them to grow as performers
and people too.”
Along with competitions
and days of service,
SNAP dancers and music
students perform at Disney
World, Six Flags Great
America, Wilmette’s Summerfest
and even in New
York City, just to name a
few experiences. Throughout
the year, productions
such as the recent annual
Spring Fling Concert, allowed
the 72 company
dancers to perform their
full repertoire. Earlier in
March, SNAP participated
in Progressions Dance
Festival, joining forces
with a variety of local
dance companies.
As a result of the company’s
dedication and
hard work, the following
awards were earned at two
being a mentor to the students
due to the time commitments
but there is relatively
low turnover.
Robitaille chosen to remain
board president
In separate action, the
board re-elected Robitaille
to be president for the
2018-19 school year. Robitaille
joined the board in
2013 and moved up to the
presidency role in 2016.
Following the meeting,
Robitaille said he intends
for this to be his last year
as president.
Board members also
nominated Cathleen Albrecht
to serve as vice president
as current vice president
Lori Goldstein said
she wanted to step back due
to time constraints.

Kenilworth District 38 Board of Education
Joseph Sears parents pack meeting in support of resigning principal
Neil Milbert
Freelance Reporter
The April 16 meeting of
the Kenilworth Board of
Education turned into an
overwhelming vote of confidence
by parents of The
Joseph Sears School students
for Principal Kendra
Wallace in the aftermath
of her mysterious April 12
resignation.
A “discussion of and potential
action to approve”
the principal’s resignation
was the seventh item
on the District 38 Board
of Education’s meeting
agenda, but at the outset
board President Melinda
Kelly said the entire meeting
would be a “listening
session” devoted to “listening
to comments and
feedback” and any action
would be deferred until the
board members reviewed
and contemplated what
they heard.
A standing-room-only
crowd of approximately
150 people showed up
and 25 of them went to
the microphone to address
the board for a total
of almost 90 minutes. All
of the speakers expressed
their steadfast support for
Wallace and most of them
pleaded with the board to
ask her to stay. Some of
the parents were overcome
with emotion and were in
tears. At the conclusion of
each speaker’s comments
the audience responded
with loud applause.
“We are all devastated,”
said Sarah Halak, who has
three children attending
Sears. “My heart breaks
because of the recent resignation
of Mrs. Wallace
and my children’s hearts
break. We have not provided
her with the utmost
support that she needs.”
Halak began crying as
she spoke and she paused
intermittently, struggling
to control her emotion.
“This is a strong woman,”
Alison Dempsey said
of Wallace. “She has stood
out in the most positive of
ways. She provides guidance
and she provides love.
I think that is paramount. I
implore you to consider
how much Kendra has
given and how much she
means to the students and
to the community.”
An enraged Marjorie
Bansfield asserted, “I
know this has happened
through a harrowing situation
(for Wallace). She
has the backbone, grit and
humility to run this school.
She has been dragging
this community from the
last century to the present
one. (Before Wallace was
hired in April 2014) we
had eight principals in 11
years. I promise you there
is not a better one coming.
This town is a boiler
room. We have a Chicago
Tribune story and an NPR
(National Public Radio)
story.”
According to District
38 Communication Director
Chike Erokwu Joseph
Sears has had six full-time
principals in the last 20
years.
“We have tested the waters
before, over and over
and over,” Katie White
said. “We have someone
who is smart and caring
and filled with integrity.
She’s got another year-plus
on her contract. Something
is terribly wrong.”
Parents pointed out that
Wallace not only knows
the names of all of the
Sears students “she really
knows them (as people).”
Several told touching
stories of the support that
Wallace provided for them
and their children when
they were confronted with
a family crisis. Others
spoke of the how disheartened
their children were
when they heard their beloved
principal was leaving.
“My son (who’d gone
to Sears School) was diagnosed
with a congenital
heart defect when he was
a freshman at New Trier
and the first person I came
to was Mrs. Wallace,” said
Vathy Bell Bartholomay.
“She has inspired me to try
to be a better parent.”
“You are an A+++ person,
a cherished member
of this community,” Christopher
Jerome said, addressing
Wallace, who was
seated in her normal place
at the table with board
members and key staff
members. “This school is
the glue that binds us as a
community. We are failing
the most treasured asset
this community has, our
children.
Wallace earned both a
Bachelor of Arts degree
in English and a Master’s
degree in education from
Harvard. She began her
career as an educator in
the Teach for America program,
teaching high school
and middle school students
in Houston. From Texas
she went to California
where she was assistant
principal at Compton High
School and a UCLA curriculum
coach before becoming
principal of Webster
Middle School in Los
Angeles, her last position
before she became principal
of The Sears School.
Tim Pennise expressed
the opinion that there are
five key elements in the
situation: “students, teachers,
parents, board members
and the community at
A packed house attends the Kenilworth School District 38 Board of Education
meeting Monday, April 16, in Kenilworth. Photo submitted
large, and nobody can perfectly
execute (to the satisfaction
of) all five at once.
Students belong at the top
of the list. Mrs. Wallace is
as good as we’ll ever see
in handling our student
body.”
Mike McGoohan pointed
out that in the preceding
four days 323 people had
signed a petition asking
the Board of Education to
retain Wallace and junior
kindergarten teacher Tracey
McDowell said “more
than 40 faculty members
signed a petition in support
of Kendra.”
“There is an overwhelming
amount of support
from the faculty,” Mc-
Dowell asserted. “It’s hard
to comprehend how this
could be happening.”
Jack Kelly said he ran
for the Board of Education
twice but lost both times.
“If I had gotten on the
board I would not leave
a stone unturned to keep
Kendra,” he said. “We
need her more than she
needs us.”
Christy Bennett implored
the board: “I beg
you to think about what
the future will look like if
Kendra leaves.”
“I’ve been here for 10
years and she’s the best
(principal) I’ve seen and
I’ve seen a lot,” Danielle
Dold said. “Rumors are
flying. I want to understand
what’s going on.”
Her husband, Robert
Dold, asked the board
members “I want to know
when we’re going to have
our listening session with
the board, and you tell us
what happened?”
In addition to board
President Kelly, board
member Scott Wallace
read prepared remarks for
the audience at the outset.
Wallace spoke of privacy
considerations as
the reason for addressing
personnel matters in the
board’s closed sessions
rather than during public
meetings.
“As many of you know,
the board has a long-standing
policy of soliciting
public commentary during
board meetings. What
we do not do during these
public comment sessions
is respond directly to the
comments or questions
that are made,” Wallace
said. “Our job is to listen
to you, and to consider the
entirety of all that will be
said here tonight. Our silence
during these public
comment periods is meant
to give all of you a clear
space to express yourselves
and for us to listen
thoughtfully and attentively.
Engaging in a back and
forth debate would encourage
the opposite. We hope
you respect that. We most
definitely are listening.
Many of you have written
to us about the topic of
the stability of leadership
in our school. We have
read your comments with
great interest and we share
whole-heartedly in your
desire for a safe and secure
culture where all employees
– administrators
and faculty together – feel
Sears is the place where
they can grow in their craft
and spend the better parts
of their careers.”

A Word From The (Former) President
More news flashes from days of yore
John Jacoby
Contributing Columnist
•Nov. 30, 1904: The
Wilmette Woman’s Club
meets today, hoping to
resolve a “row” that
“threatens to disrupt the
organization unless an
amicable settlement can
be reached.” The issue
is whether the Club’s
constitution should require
members to pay a fee of
50 cents for bringing a
guest to a meeting. The
membership appears to
be equally divided on the
issue.
• Aug. 5, 1923: Willie
Doser, 30, committed suicide
while jailed at Evanston’s
police headquarters.
He was awaiting trial on
charges that he broke into
a chewing gum machine.
He was the son of the late
Willibald Doser, once a
prominent Gross Point
resident and physician.
Two decades ago, Willie
and his parents became
hooked on cocaine, and
the entire family fell into
ruin and homelessness.
The father committed
suicide in 1907.
• July 18, 1933: General
Italo Balbo, the Italian
Air Marshall and fascist
leader, was the guest today
of architect Benjamin
Marshall at his Wilmette
Harbor mansion. Balbo
arrived in Chicago on July
15, leading a squadron of
24 seaplanes to celebrate
the “Century of Progress”
World’s Fair. He’ll start
back for Italy tomorrow.
Upon seeing the Chinese
pagoda room of the Marshall
mansion, carpeted by
a satin mattress, Balboa
asked in Italian, “Why do
you bring us here when
we are but men?” Then
in the living room, he
lamented, “I am dismayed
that we have not come
to your beautiful home
before the eve of our
departure.”
• July 24, 1934: The
proprietors of four
barbecue stands and one
liquor store in “No Man’s
Land” (the unincorporated
triangle between Wilmette
and Kenilworth along
Sheridan Road) were arrested
by County police
for illegally selling liquor
in a “dry” territory and
without a County license.
The raid was prompted by
complaints.
• Aug. 17, 1960: Theodore
Vassar, 17, escaped
from detention at the
Wilmette Police Department
on Green Bay Road.
He was being held in
Wilmette pending transfer
to Northfield to face
burglary charges there. He
escaped by prying open a
window screen. His next
mistake was returning to
the scene of the original
burglary and breaking in
again. Police were still
there, investigating the
first crime, and they arrested
him a second time.
Vassar, a native of Texas,
admitted that he had been
“banished from Abilene
for two years after he got
into trouble there.”
• April 8, 1966: Two
Wilmette families were
among 494 passengers
and crew members rescued
today when flames
engulfed the superstructure
of the Viking
Princess as the ship was
sailing in the Caribbean
off Cuba. The passengers
and crew abandoned ship
in lifeboats and were
picked up by other ships
in the area and taken to
Guantanamo naval base.
Two passengers died of
heart attacks during the
turmoil. The Wilmette
families were Robert
and Dorothy Bauerle and
their daughter Virginia
of 1034 Pawnee Road;
and Arnold and Lisa
Stein and their children
Andrea and Nicky of
2749 Wilmette Ave. An
advertisement promoting
the tour correctly
predicted a “memorable
vacation” and an “unexpected
adventure.”

O’Hare to Los Angeles,
crashed shortly after
take-off. The accident is
the deadliest in U.S. aviation
history. It happened
when the left engine and
pylon separated from the
wing and inflicted damage
elsewhere. Stephen
and Carolyn Sutton and
their two boys, Colin,
9, and Chris, 7, lived in
the 1400 block of Forest
Avenue. Stephen was
a senior editor at Rand
McNally and edited
Jeannie Morris’s book
about Chicago Bears star
Brian Piccolo. Stephen
was planning to attend
a bookseller’s convention
in Los Angeles. The
boys, students at McKenzie
School, were excited
about the prospect of
visiting Disneyland.
THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK
Two dead in overnight
house fire in Highland Park
Two people are dead after
a fire engulfed a Highland
Park home early April
18, according to the Lake
County Coroner’s Office.
The Highland Park Fire
Department was joined by
10 other departments in
response to a house fire at
1:13 a.m. in the 2000 block
of Kipling Lane, according
to a press release from the
Village of Highland Park.
“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.

In an effort to protect
Sunrise Park and Beach
from erosion and other
damaging factors, the

Glenview kids prove that
character still counts
For the past two decades,
Character Counts!
in Glenview has promoted
positive behavior by
teaching the Six Pillars of
Character.
“It’s something I believe
in whole-heartedly,”
said Nate Carter, co-chair
of Character Counts! in
Glenview and principal
of Maple School, back in
February. “Whether character
is built through good
activities for students or
revealed through positive

building being home to a

business, how many more
examples will be needed
before the reality sets in?
Education, schooling in a
trade, working alongside
a tradesman etc. are a major
answer to move along.
To throw just dollars at a
problem is just that. No
real end result or solution.

good character in schools

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Resident pleads guilty to
$24M tax fraud scheme
Barry Poticha, 73, of
Northbrook, pleaded guilty
April 16 to one count of
conspiracy to defraud the
United States, according to
a statement from the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of Illinois.
Poticha, a bookkeeper
for two Chicago-area
staffing companies, admitted
in federal court that he
conspired to defraud the
IRS for at least a decade
by falsifying corporate tax
returns and W-2 forms to
reduce the taxes assessed
against the companies and
their owners. His offense
is punishable by up to five
years in prison. U.S. District
Judge Gary Feinerman
set the Northbrook
resident’s sentencing for
Aug. 14.

help, but solving the
problem will just pass

worker going forward.
Not an easy situation.
Strong feelings along both
paths. Time, money and
effort by many is needed,
but throwing dollars as
the only solution is a temporary
patch. Think deep
with mind and less with
heart to hopefully reach
a better result for all, Village

‘The Aristocats Kids’ puts young actors in spotlight on stage
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
The mini division of the
Wilmette Children’s Theatre
presented Disney’s
“The Aristrocats Kids,”
April 20-29 at the Community
Recreation Center,
taking the audience on a
fun and wild journey told
by a fabulous cast of feline
friends.
The mini division is
performed by actors in
grades 1-3, focusing on
fun while learning valuable
performance skills.
Daniel Rachelson, 9,
of Glenview, played the
smooth talking, streetsavvy
cat, Thomas
O’Malley, whose whole
world is turned around
when he meets the elegant
Duchess the cat and her
three children, Toulouse,
Marie and Berlioz. The
mother cat and her brood
are duped and lead astray
by their butler, Roquefort,
but O’Malley saves
the day by lending them
a helping paw. Rachelson
said playing O’Malley
was very empowering.
“I’ve been performing
with [Wendy Avon] since
I was just five and I was
really shy and scared at
first,” he said, “But, once
I took [Wendy’s] Little
Improv classes, all that
changed. I became more
confident, just like Thomas
O’Malley, and I am
now no longer nervous
on stage. I really liked my
character because he is so
confident and comfortable
with who he is.”
Charlotte Wenzke, of
Wilmette, who played
Duchess, explained how
Avon’s acting techniques,
helped her become a better
actress.
“I just love being on
stage and being in the
spotlight,” Wenzke said.
Actors (left to right) Charlotte Wenzke, of Wilmette,
Yianni Dimoutsikos, of Skokie, and Evan LeeMaster, of
Wilmette, perform.
“I also love that through
each production, I learn
something new. Ms. Avon
gave me a trick, about
looking up at a clock on
the wall of the auditorium,
which helped me to look
past the audience, project
my voice and speak out
across the stage. I even
shared that tip with some
of my friends.”
Cate Martin, a secondgrade
student at Central
Elementary School
in Wilmette, played the
Duchess’s daughter, Marie,
learning how important
it is to try, try again.
“I have been in a few
shows now and I just love
being on stage. When I
auditioned for “The Aristocats,”
I told my mom, ‘I
just love acting and hope
I get a part.’” Well, I got
a great role and I believe
it is because I’ve been
working so hard and practicing
all the tips that Ms.
Avon teaches us, like how
important it is to stay focused
and stay in character.”
Wilmette’s Evan Lee-
Master played Toulouse,
another one of the Duchesses
children. This was
one of his first acting experiences
but won’t be his
last because of the good
times and good lessons he
learned along the way.
“I really liked my character,
especially a duet
I got to do with Thomas
O’Malley. The show is silly,
and I think my friends
who come to see it will
really like it,” LeeMaster
said. “The moral of the
story is to go after your
dreams, just like my character
did. He really admired
Thomas O’Malley
and learned how to be
more brave and tough because
of the friendship.”
Along with Avon, Music
Director Ellen Morris,
and Choreographer,
Kirsten Markham directed
the cast.
Disney’s “The Aristocrats
Kids” runs April
20-29, with performances
at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays,
and 2 p.m. Sundays.
Performances take
place in the Theatre of the
Community Recreation
Center, 3000 Glenview
Road. Tickets are $10 and
are now on sale. Tickets
can be purchased online
at www.wilmettepark.org.

A brunch of options
Area restaurants
abound with
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
classic brunch-time meal.
Read up, build an appetite
and head on out to try them
this spring.
Breakfast pizza —

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.
The buongiorno breakfast pizza ($15) features San
Marzano tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, bel paese

Story by Eric DeGrechie,
Managing Editor
Homemade waffle with
fruit — Caffe Buon
Giorno, Winnetka
Tucked inside Winnetka’s
quaint Laundry Mall,
Caffe Buon Giorno has
kept Winnetkans coming
back for yummy eats for
19 years.
The moment you walk
in the door, the enormous
menu will have you thinking
for a few minutes
about what to order from
the plethora of options.
Luckily for diners
who stop by during late
morning/early afternoon
brunch-time, you can have
your pick of anything from
omelets, fluffy waffles with
fruit, homemade soups and
garden-fresh salads.
Owner Mary Jo Vlahos,
of Kenilworth, said while
the restaurant has an abundance
of items, there are no
specific brunch specials,
as tried and true favorites
have eventually made their
way to being on the menu
permanently.
“We have a lot of specials
that have become
popular and then they
stay, so our menu is pretty
huge,” Vlahos said.
One favorite item ordered
at brunch-times is
the homemade waffle,
which can either be served
as a plain, homemade Belgian
waffle with butter and
maple syrup ($9.95) or
topped with assorted fresh
fruit, bacon, sausage or
ham ($15).
With the fruit-topped
waffle, diners will enjoy a
floral-shaped Belgian waffle
with a light dusting of
powdered sugar and fresh,
sweet slices of pineapple,
cantaloupe, banana, strawberry
and blueberry.

From Page 40
leg runner for the Titans’
800 relay team.
Roberson’s long jump
of 17-8 was more than a
foot ahead of the field,
but then she wasn’t measuring
herself against the
field.
“I was hoping to jump
eighteen (feet),” she said.
“But it’s a little harder to
warm up when it’s cold
like this. I’m thinking I’ll
perform better in a month
just because it will be a
little warmer.”
Roberson’s performance
in multiple events was no
surprise to coach Anthony
Griffith.
“She’s strong at all of
it,” he said. “The only
thing she doesn’t do for
us is the 4x100 just because
of the other things
she’s doing. She qualified
(downstate) for the 100
and long jump last year
and we think she can add
the 200 this year.”
The Titans’ Annie Streb
won the triple jump with
a leap of 34-6, a full two
feet ahead of the field, and
teammate Taylor Ozimek
won the high jump.
“I cleared 5-2 and I just
barely didn’t get over 5-4,”
Ozimek said. “I feel really
good, since 5-2 is the statequalifying
(height) so I’m
basically there.
“All of us are doing better
in everything this year.
We’re getting stronger and
our PRs have gone up so I
think it will be an even better
year for us.”
Ozimek, Streb, Roberson,
and Kate Snively
made up the second-place
relay team in the 4x200.
The Titans also got seconds
from Edwards in the
1600, Rachel Meyer in the
discus, and Kathleen Bock
in the 300 hurdles.
South’s relay team of
Elizabeth Shaw, Emily
Galante, Bridget Wall, and
Claire Williams placed
third in the 4x800.
“So far, so good,”
Griffith said. “The girls are
getting some good work in
and it’s all about the progress.
We’re doing what we
expected to do so far.”
Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Drake Johnson
The Loyola senior is a
member of the boys volleyball
team.
When did you start
playing volleyball and
why?
I started playing volleyball
in eighth grade,
because it was the first
year my grade school had
a volleyball team, after
that I was instantly hooked
to playing and decided
to continue playing high
school after breaking my
knee in football freshman
year.
What’s your favorite
part about your sport?
My favorite part about
volleyball is getting big
kills and blocks which get
the entire team hyped up.
Do you have any
superstitions?
Our team has a tradition
of wearing the same color
jersey if we are on a winning
streak.
What’s one thing
people don’t know
about you?
I am very passionate
about architecture and I
plan to pursue it as a career.
If you could travel
anywhere in the
world, where would it
be and why?
I would go to Australia
and to the Great Barrier
Reef because I love coral
and fish.
What’s the best part
about being a Loyola
athlete?
Playing a varsity sport
for one of the top athletic
schools in the state.
What’s the hardest
part about your sport?
The hardest part of playing
volleyball is having
good energy in tough situations
when we are losing.
If you had one super
power, what would it
be and why?
If I had one super power
I would want to have the
ability to stop time because
no matter what the
situation is, if everything
is frozen except you, you
will always have the upper
22nd Century Media File Photo
hand.
What has been your
favorite moment at
Loyola? (Athletics or
otherwise)
My favorite part of
Loyola was playing GBS
in the regional championship
last year because a
lot of my friends were on
GBS and a lot of fans were
there. The game was also
very high energy and high
intensity.
What’s the best advice
you’ve ever gotten
and who was it from?
My mom always tells
me, “What doesn’t kill
you, only makes you
stronger.” I remember this
because it encourages me
to go the extra mile in everything
I do.

Boys lacrosse
Big second period leads NT to win
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
One of the more key
aspects of lacrosse is the
faceoff.
Generally, if a team
dominates on the faceoff
they are well on their way
to victory.
New Trier used that mentality
in its game against
Lake Forest, 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.
“It was a high-intensity
game and Lake Forest is
a good team,” New Trier
coach Tom Herrala said.
“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.”
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 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.
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.
“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
New Trier’s Johnny Maday drives toward the goal
during the Trevians’ game against Lake Forest.

a good team,” he said. “We
just got behind and we’ll
get them next time.”
Both Maday and Herrala
saw similarities in what
the Scouts were able to do
to control the New Trier
offense in the second half.
“We had some turnovers
on some clears,” the coach
said. “We had some looks,
we just weren’t hitting
them. But they played some
good defense as well.”
Maday and Mislinski
closed out the scoring in
the fourth quarter.
Both teams now get
ready for the second half
of the season, including a
tournament featuring some
of the best teams in the
Midwest called the Midwest
Lacrosse Challenge.
“Coming into games like
these, we just have to stay
focused and composed because
big plays can get our
minds off of the thing that
really matters,” Maday
said. “We just have to stay
focused.
“We grinded this one
out. We didn’t play our
last game tonight, but you
take a lot of good with it
because we did do some
good things too.”

Loyola takes second in first outdoor meet
Gary Larsen
Freelance Reporter
Loyola Academy junior
Addison Bendery was still
trying to catch her breath
after running the anchor
leg of the 800 meter relay,
and finishing just .03
seconds ahead of secondplace
Glenbrook South.
“That was close,” Bendery
said. “But I knew the
whole relay (team) could
do it. We practiced handoffs
yesterday and I knew
everyone would push their
hardest because it’s our
first outdoor meet.”
Glenbrook South’s
eight-team Titan Invite
took place Friday, April
21, with competitors and
coaches simply happy to
finally be outside during a
consistently frigid and wet
Midwest spring.
Stevenson won the team
title, 128 to 95.5 over second-place
Loyola. Fremd
(88) was third, Glenbrook
South (85) placed fourth,
and Glenbrook North (39)
finished seventh.
Bendery also won the
200 meter dash, teammate
Jackie Topping won the
400 meter dash, and the
two were joined by Ann
Santangelo and Brooke
Moran in winning the 800
relay. Santangelo also finished
third in the 100 meter
dash, as did Emma Uremovic
in the 800, and Eva
Holtan in the 400.
Loyola’s Louisa Edwards,
Nicole Cleland,
Payton Hoag, and Sarah
Jay won the 3,200 meter
relay and Grace Powers
won the discus throw for
coach ChrisJon Simon.
“(Powers) came running
up to me and let me know
she threw 101 feet,” Simon
said. “That’s pretty good
for anybody, and she’s just
a freshman.”
Kate Santangelo also
placed second in the pole
vault for the Ramblers, tying
with four competitors
in clearing 9-0.
Simon applauded the relay
legs run by Moran and
Ann Santangelo and the
all-around performance of
Bendery, who also placed
second in the long jump.
“She’s been great,” Simon
said. “She’s gone to
a different level this year.
She’s a junior now and she
wants to run in college.
She wants to be the best.”
Loyola’s 400 meter relay
team of Ann Santangelo,
Sophie Beresheim,
Brooke Fitzgerald, Arrina
Awdisho placed second.
The Ramblers’ 800
team went downstate last
year and Bendery likes

this season.
“Comparing us to last
year, I think we’re a lot
better,” she said. “Everyone’s
stronger and more
competitive and we want
to go to state again. We
got disqualified there last
year because of a bad
handoff. But we’re a lot
better this year.”
Another all-around athlete
shined for the host Titans
is sophomore Raelyn
Roberson. She won the
100 and the long jump,
placed second in the 200,
and nearly caught Bendery

Girls soccer
Regina’s run ends in Pepsi Showdown finals
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Regina Dominican came
into Sunday, April 22’s
Pepsi Showdown championship
game against Pritzker
looking to do something
no team in program
history had done: win what
is billed as the nation’s
largest high school soccer
tournament.
Unfortunately for the
Panthers, their run to the
Coast Guard division title
game stopped a game short,
dropping the tilt 7-0 to the
Jaguars on a beautiful
spring day in La Grange.
Despite the loss, firstyear
coach Katie Bak
couldn’t have been prouder
of what the team has been
able to accomplish.
“What’s great about this
group of girls is that they
play and play and play and
play,” Bak said. “It’d be
wrong of me to say that we
expected or didn’t expect
anything because these
girls continue to amaze me
every day.”
The Panthers have been
playing so well as of late,
that they hadn’t given up
a goal since March 20 in a
2-0 loss to Francis Parker.
What’s been really impressive
for the team is that it
has done this with 14 freshmen
and sophomores on
the varsity squad.
“This is about building
a program and every step
we take is a piece of that
program and this is just one
of those steps,” the coach
said. “I’ve got a young
team, where exposure like

this and competition like
this, it’s all a confidence
builder.
“All of our girls are expected
to have a voice and
be a contributor at practice,
in the classroom, on the
field.”
The PepsiCo Showdown
showed Regina and its
coaches a lot about what
type of team it can and
will be the rest of the season,
one in which the Panthers
haven’t had much of
a chance to play due to the
weather.
“What’s great about
this team is that we’re still
learning on playing together,
but they are together as a
unit off the field,” Bak said.
“Practices are team-oriented
and they’re together
and that leads to wins on
the field. They have each
other’s backs and fight for
each other, are with each
other, no matter the outcome.
“The hardest thing with
the weather has been building
a routine. It’s every day,
we feel like we’re adjusting
and getting a consistent
flow has been the hardest
thing for our schedule.”
While the Panthers
didn’t end up winning the
tournament’s title, it had an
incredible run, especially
considering they came in as
the 13th-seeded team in the
Coast Guard bracket.
Here’s how Regina made
it to the finals:
Regina 4, Garcia 0: The
Panthers played the game
with only eight available
players, but yet were able
to beat the sixth-seeded Patriots.
Lilly Rausch scored
a hat trick for her team and
freshman Laura Strenk
added a goal as well.
Regina 1, Solorio 0
(PKs): The Panthers went
on the road and pulled off
a penalty-kick win thanks
to Strenk, Rausch, Murphy
Weiland and Kathleen Rabbitt
converting on their opportunities.
Freshman goalie
Vickie Mando made 11
saves in the game, including
a key one during PKs.
Regina 1, Romeoville 0:
Anelise Leahy scored the
Panthers’ only goal to send
her team to the title game.

New Trier’s Weber has fun at hockey festival
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
For 14 years, the USA
Hockey Disabled Hockey
Festival has allowed hockey
players with disabilities
to play the sport they love
over the course of a weekend
against others who are
in similar situations.
The mission of the Festival
is to provide a fun and
exciting weekend of hockey
in a grand event while
promoting and growing
disabled hockey throughout
the country, according
to the festival’s website.
The event is the largest
disabled hockey event of its
kind and became so large
this year that it had to be
split up into two weekends,
April 5–8 for those that are
blind/visually impaired,
deaf/hard of hearing, special,
warrior/standing amputee
and April 12-15 for
sled hockey.
One of the players able to
participate in the event was
New Trier senior Adam
Weber. Weber, who is autistic,
has been a member
of the Blackhawks Special
Hockey squad for the past
five years, made his debut
at the festival and was
thrilled to have the opportunity
to play this year.
“It was a fun experience
and there were a lot of
teams there, from the U.S.
and Canada and one other
team from England,” Weber
said.
Weber got a chance to
play in four games during
the festival, and was a scoring
machine. He scored
seven goals and dished out
an assist as well, helping
his team to a nice finish
during the tournament.
“It’s so awesome that I
could score a lot of goals
and I think it was great to
move the puck too,” he
said.
Chicago Blackhawks
Special Hockey is dedicated
to providing children
and adults with developmental
disabilities the opportunity
to play hockey.
Team members range in
age from 5 to 55, and include
both male and female
athletes. The team is comprised
of players that have
autism, Down syndrome or
other intellectual disabilities.

Chicago Blackhawks
Special Hockey strives to
promote and emphasize the
development of sportsmanship,
team spirit, increased
confidence, pride, and team
unity while having a great
time in the process. It is
open to anyone who is interested
in playing, as long
as the individual can skate.
Chicago Blackhawks
Special Hockey had multiple
teams in the festival,
and Weber played on two
of them, the A and B teams.
“I was a forward on both
teams but think I’m more
of a winger on both sides,”
Weber said.
Weber and his Chicago
Blackhawks Special Hockey
teammates practice once
a week, on Sundays, and
play in a couple tournaments
each year. The team
played in two tournaments
last season, one in early
fall and the other around
Thanksgiving. Play resumes
again in the fall.
A tournament like the
USA Hockey Disabled
Hockey Festival, however,
is not like any of the tournaments
that Weber normally
plays in. With the tournament
being split into two
weekends this year, it allowed
all of the participants
to have their moment and
shine. It’s something that
makes a weekend special
for all of those involved.
“The Festival was great
and the best part was hanging
out with my teammates,
having fun on the ice and
also being able to pass the
puck and shooting the puck
hard,” the Glencoe resident
said.

the hockey fanatic and
hockey nut is a huge sports
fan who loves the Blackhawks
and Cubs. Two of
his favorite moments have
been when the Blackhawks
won the Stanley Cup and
when the Cubs won the
World Series in 2016.
But what does Weber like
to do in his free time? You
guessed it, more sports-related
activities.
“I like to hang out with
my dog and watch clips on
YouTube that are sportsrelated,”
he said. “I also
like to watch sports on TV,
watch movies and listening
to music on Spotify.”
Weber is set to graduate
from New Trier in June and
says that while he isn’t sure
of his educational plans
next year, he might take a
year of transition seminar
and then after that, go to a
two-three-or-four-year college
for students with special
needs and disabilities.
Whatever his next step
may be, one thing is for
sure, we aren’t done seeing
Weber on the ice scoring
goals and representing his
town.

Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
This year’s spring has
played a toll on almost every
team in the area’s season,
forcing the postponement
and cancellation of
multiple games.
That wasn’t the case
April 17 when New Trier
traveled to Glenview to
play Glenbrook South in
a key Central Suburban
League South matchup.
The Trevians came away
with the 3-0 win in below
30-degree weather, staying
undefeated in conference
play.
“I thought we played
great,” New Trier coach
Jim Burnside said. “I think
the girls are starting to
find their rhythm and they
know how to play soccer,
but now they’re learning
how to play soccer together.
It’s been hard with the
weather.”
Coming off of two ties
that prevented them from
making it out of pool play
in the Lou Malnati’s Deep
Dish Classic, the Trevians
knew getting off to a fast
start was key to a possible
win.
“It’s definitely important
to get that first goal because
it gives us momentum,”
New Trier’s Lily
Conley said. “It changes
the dynamic we have for
the rest of the game.”
Teammate Emma
Weaver, who would finish
New Trier’s Caroline Iserloth (5) battles Glenbrook South’s Katie Weiss (24) for the
ball April 17, in Glenview. Michael Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media
the game with two goals,
agreed with Conley.
“Our main goal was
to come out with a lot of
energy and get on top of
them quickly,” she said.
“We knew we had to play
our game, so getting in
behind them with Nicole
(Kaspi) and Fallon (Warshauer),
because they had
dynamic runs and they had
five in the back. Trying
to play through Whitney
(Hoban), playing through
the midfield, that was also
one of the goals.”
After nearly scoring in
the game’s first minute,
New Trier (6-0-2, 2-0
CSL) got on the board
at the 32:54 mark when
Whitney Hoban put a ball
in from about 30 yards out
that snuck past the outstretched
arms of Glenbrook
South goalie Libbie
Vanderveen.
The Trevians couldn’t
sit back however, as the
Titans threatened about 30
seconds later on a shot that
was cleared by the visitors
defense.
“The effort was there,
execution was not,” Glenbrook
South coach Seong
Ha said. “New Trier’s
midfield was fantastic
throughout, all three goals
came from the midfield. If
we contain the midfield, I
thought we could win this
game.
“The one thing I liked in
the first half was we were
really getting in from the
flank. It was really, really
promising but again we
miss a shot by Ellie Flowers
on the back post and is
it a momentum changer?
Probably, but you still had
another 50, 60 minutes to
play.”
After that though, New
Trier controlled much of
the play for the rest of the
half, allowing only two
more shots.
Glenbrook South’s best
chance in the second half
came at the 22:11 mark,
when a perfect cross
caught the New Trier
goalie out of position but
was just a tad too far for
a Glenbrook South offensive
player to reach and
put into the goal.
Weaver scored the first
of her goals at the 12:33
mark, giving the Trevians
a 2-0 lead and then added
her second 1 minute, 5 seconds
later to finish out the
scoring.
“Nicole (Kaspi) was
dribbling down the right
wing and she got to the end
line, which is something
we work on in practice,”
Weaver said. “I saw that she
turned her back and I came
running. She really did all
the work and laid a perfect
ball back and I just rightfooted
it in the corner.”
GBS was coming off of
a championship-game victory
in the Lou Malnati’s
Deep dish classic and
looking to continue its undefeated
run but it wasn’t
to be.
“We’ve scored zero tonight,
one, one and one,
the last four matches,” Ha
said. “When you have .75
goals for, puck luck is going
to run out of time for
you and the soccer gods
will probably say it’s just
not your night.
“If we meet them again
it will most likely be in the
sectional, if we’re lucky
enough to get that far, and
I told the girls it’s like
the NCAA Tournament.
There’s a lot of good teams
and nobody is going to be
an easy out.”
Listen Up
“It’s definitely important to get that first goal
because it gives us momentum.”
