Loyola graduates 511 in 108th commencement 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

For students in Loyola 

Academy’s Class of 2018, 

many of them have become 

leaders and pillars in 

our society as they look to 

help create change in the 

world. 

Loyola graduated 511 

students May 26 at Loyola 

University during its 108th 

Commencement. The 

graduates, Principal Dr. 

Kathryn Baal said, will 

leave a special mark on 

the school and the Loyola 

community as a whole. 

“This is the class that’s 

been through a lot of 

change,” Baal said. “This 

is the first full class of going 

through the iPad, they 

went through a new bell 

system schedule and those 

are some of the bigger 

changes. 

“We’ve spent this year 

focusing on ‘Just Mercy,’ 

Bryan Stevenson’s book. 

They’ve taken to heart 

what it means to be committed 

to justice. Instead 

of letting their own personal 

views push them 

apart from each other, they 

did things that represented 

different viewpoints and 

different opinions.” 

Following the Feb. 14 

mass school shooting in 

Parkland, Fla., many of the 

Loyola seniors played key 

roles in a nationwide student 

walkout. 

“These kids care and 

this is where they want to 

make a difference,” the 

principal said. “Their generation 

is engaged in this 

and they see they have a 

voice and try to make the 

world a better place. 

“St. Ignatius always said 

‘go out and set the world on 

fire,’ a quote you hear quite 

often. I think they’re going 

to go out and set the world 

on fire in different ways and 

do what’s being asked of 

them to make a difference.” 

The senior class didn’t 

only have heartbreak and 

tough situations it had to 

deal with though, as there 

were a lot of positive 

memories as well. Whether 

they be service trips, 

athletic contests, after 

school activities or just being 

a high school student 

in general, the class had its 

good times. 

One of those activities 

happened to be the rejuvenation 

of Rambler Stream, 

the live broadcasts of football 

and basketball games, 

something that senior 

Luke Phillips, of Wilmette, 

who will be running track 

at the University of Notre 

Dame next season, was instrumental 

in. 

“Last school year, I was 

approached by the administration 

about potentially 

bringing it back and over 

the last two years, we’ve 

done every home football 

game, pretty much every 

home basketball game and 

we’ve branched out to other 

sports,” he said. “We’ve 

done lacrosse, volleyball, 

water polo. 

“It was really a dream 

come true when the administration 

asked me. 

I’ve grown up a sports fan 

and for them to entrust that 

role to me was huge and 

meant a lot. It’s been the 

most fun to Loyola, the 

thing I looked forward to 

the most.” 

One of the big things 

that this year’s senior class 

was instrumental in was 

the start of LA Way, a program 

designed in developing 

leadership skills. 

“I think it shows our willingness 

to help others and 

how we’re willing we are 

to put ourselves in situations 

where we don’t know 

what’s going to happen,” 

Maggie Avery, of Lake 

Forest, said. “With LA 

Way, it was a new thing that 

nobody had really done, so 

our class threw ourselves 

into it and same thing with 

our new schedule.” 

Avery knows that the 

service work she’s done at 

Loyola has helped prepare 

her for the future. 

“The service learning 

classes specifically have 

helped me because they 

force you to look at problems 

and topics, not just in 

an educational way, but in 

a relevant, real-world situation,” 

she said. “Being 

able to relate school topics 

to things going on in 

the world have definitely 

helped me.” 

There are some things 

that Baal says set this 

class apart from others and 

they’ll always be remembered 

by. 

“This class is a group 

of people, who in terms of 

our mission, really exhibit 

being men and women 

for others. They give up 

themselves, serve others 

and do it with heart,” 

Baal said. “They’re a very 

humble class. There’s an 

extreme amount of talent 

in this class in terms of being 

leaders, trying to think 

outside the box, pushing 

themselves. They’ve done 

such great work as individuals 

and have really done 

it with a sense of humility 

and not asking for anything 

in return.” 

Valedictorian Matt Brun 

summed it up well in his 

commencement speech. 

“Thank you for making 

this class, and the last four 

years, as memorable and 

as special as they were. 

“I am privileged and 

honored to stand before 

you as we recognize you, 

the Loyola Academy Class 

of 2018. Good luck to you 

all. Goodbye. Be strong. 

Prevail. Valete.”

Jacqueline Glosniak 

Contributing Editor 

From crowded classrooms 

at the Northfield 

and Winnetka campuses 

to a packed arena on 

graduation day, New Trier 

senior James Snyder’s 

commencement speech 

explained how the Trevian 

experiences of filling different 

rooms for different 

purposes has greatly prepared 

him and his fellow 

graduates for whatever 

open doors and new rooms 

may lie ahead. 

“We will no longer will 

be sharing rooms together, 

and we are all going to 

have to go into the world 

and find our own rooms,” 

Snyder, of Winnetka, said 

on Sunday, June 3, in the 

packed Sears Centre Arena 

in Hoffman Estates for the 

Class of 2018’s graduation 

ceremony. 

Snyder, who was selected 

to speak at this year’s 

celebration following selection 

from a panel of 

students and staff, shared 

feelings that while the future 

is uncertain, he is sure 

his classmates will be duly 

prepared for all of life’s 

opportunities. 

“Although going into 

the world may feel scary 

... we are prepared to be in 

our next room — no matter 

which room we want to 

be in,” he continued. “We 

may be in the room that 

cures cancer; the room that 

solves climate change; an 

NFL locker room; or even 

the Oval Office. We may 

grow up to be Olympians;

graduation ceremony, held in Hoffman Estates. LOIS 

BERNSTEIN/22ND CENTURY MEDIA 

we may grow up to be 

mathematicians or politicians; 

but no matter what 

we do, we will always be 

Trevians.” 

Snyder, who spent his 

senior year participating in 

student choirs and on the 

varsity volleyball team, 

is headed to Indiana University 

in the fall to study 

business. He said New 

Trier was nothing short of 

a fantastic experience. 

Other students who 

highlighted their New 

Trier experiences were 

James Wasielewski, Chandler 

Maizel and Nicole 

Basil, who all participated 

as board members for the 

seniors’ annual Habitat 

for Humanity project. The 

three presented this year’s 

senior gift, recognizing 

the school’s partnership 

with Habitat for Humanity 

Lake County and building 

a home in Waukegan. 

Wasielewski, a Winnetka 

resident who is 

heading to Embry–Riddle 

Aeronautical University 

in Daytona Beach, Fla. 

this fall, talked about how 

unique the program was. 

“I thought it was a great 

service opportunity, and as 

I learned more about it, I 

realized how hands-on it 

is and how much you’re 

just involved in important 

processes, like the funding 

and organizing all these 

events that allow the construction 

of the home,” he 

said. “That just intrigued 

me.” 

Maizel, of Glencoe, 

shared how grateful she is 

for her experience as she 

prepares to study at the 

University of Denver. 

“I love New Trier,” she 

said. “I had a really good 

experience and I’ve made 

some of my best friends 

[here] and I’m so thankful 

to [New Trier] for having 

the opportunity to be 

a part of Habitat for Humanity.” 

Basil, of Wilmette, will 

be attending the University 

of Michigan, and along 

with Habitat for Humanity, 

played on the school’s 

varsity soccer team. She 

called her high-school tenture 

“amazing.” 

“New Trier is just such 

an amazing place and has 

so many amazing people 

that go there,” she said.

Regina Dominican graduates 

‘were born to do great things’ 

Hilary Anderson 

Freelance Reporter 

Seventy young women 

began the next leg of their 

life journeys. 

They were the members 

of Regina Dominican High 

School’s Class of 2018, 

who graduated May 26. 

A baccalaureate Mass, 

said by Rev. Jason Malave, 

preceded the school’s 

58th commencement ceremony 

at the school’s 

O’Shaughnessy Theatre. 

Murphy Weiland gave the 

Dominican Preacher Reflection 

and talked about 

the Dominican four pillars 

of prayer, study, service 

and community and what 

it meant for her and fellow 

students. 

“We learned it was okay 

to pray anywhere, not just 

in church,” Weiland said. 

“We were encouraged to 

think outside the box away 

from our comfort zone and 

to give service to others. I 

personally received more 

than I gave.” 

She ended by saying, 

“Love each other, look for 

opportunities, be joyful 

and helpful to others and 

persevere through hardships.” 

Elizabeth Schuster, 

president of Regina, then 

introduced the commencement 

ceremony. 

“You are on your journey 

into the future,” 

Schuster said. “There will 

never be a class like 2018. 

We will miss your intelligence, 

kindness, laughter, 

creativity, beauty and joy. 

You were born to do great 

things. We look forward 

to hearing about them. We 

are proud of you.” 

Dr. Pia Chair Flanagan 

Valvassori, Class of 1983, 

was Regina’s alumna medalist 

particularly for her 

Jill Douma, of Chicago, shows her excitement at the 

conclusion of the conferring of diplomas at Regina 

Dominican’s commencement ceremony Saturday, May 

26, at the school’s O’Shaughnessy Theatre in Wilmette.

work with the homeless 

and establishing what now 

is a full-service health care 

center for the homeless in 

Orlando, Fla. 

“Regina provided me a 

foundation of love, support 

and discipline that has 

shaped my thinking and 

led me down a very fulfilling 

path,” Valvassori said. 

“It provided me the opportunity 

to serve. It gave me 

the confidence to pursue 

service to the homeless, do 

research, be an educator 

and an advocate.” 

She credits Sister Nancy 

Murray in particular with 

providing her and classmates 

opportunities to visit 

some of Chicago’s many 

homeless, some of them 

children and listen to their 

stories and dreams. 

“Be a voice, not an 

echo,” Valvassori said. 

“Pursue your passion. Step 

out of your comfort zone 

and be a voice for those 

who have nothing.” 

The senior class elected 

graduate Gillian King, of 

Lake Forest, to give the 

graduation address. 

“Regina has meant 

many things,” King said. 

“It made us competent and 

well-rounded and gave us 

the support we needed. 

We learned there is no 

such thing as exclusion. 

We were taught to serve 

others, to never forget to 

use our imaginations and 

to follow our dreams. Because 

of Regina, we are 

attending colleges all over 

the world. It has taught us 

to lead our lives the way 

we want while keeping the 

Dominican virtues of veritas 

and caritas in mind.” 

Graduates then received 

their diplomas and officially 

were on their way 

to life’s next journey for 

them. 

Wilmette’s Gabi Grane 

plans to attend the Citadel 

in North Carolina. 

“I want to be a military 

and exercise trainer,” 

Grane said. “Many people 

in my family are in the 

military and I really respect 

them.” 

She added, “Regina 

helped me become a better

Wilmette Memorial Day 

Parade pays tribute to sacrifice

Wilmette. Photos by Rhonda Holcomb/22nd Century Media 

Nicholas Pahnke (left), 2, of Wilmette, sits with his 

grandfather, John Williams, a member of American 

Legion Post 46 Huerter-Wilmette. 

Families gathered at the 

Village Center on May 28, 

paying tribute to the men 

and women who have defended 

the country during 

Wilmette’s annual Memorial 

Day Parade and Ceremony. 

Organized by the American 

Legion Huerter-Wilmette 

Post 46, in concert 

with the Village of Wilmette, 

parade participants 

included the Wilmette Police 

Department, veterans, 

Boy Scout and Girl Scout 

troops, village officials 

and the Wilmette Fire Department. 

Commander Nick Peters 

welcomed families, 

leading the Pledge of Allegiance 

and explaining 

the symbolism behind 

an empty chair that sat in 

front of the podium. 

“The chair is a physical 

symbol of the prisoners of 

war and those who are still 

missing in action. It is a reminder 

that we must dedicate 

ourselves to freeing 

all those held in captivity,” 

Peters said. 

Next, the Wilmette Community 

Band, led the Star- 

Spangled Banner, before 

Susan Pinkowski, of the 

American Legion Women’s 

Auxiliary, gave thanks 

to all those in attendance, 

stressing how important it 

is for families to come together 

to honor those who 

lost their lives in battle. 

“We celebrate our nation 

when we gather in 

memory of all those who 

sacrificed, so that we may 

live in freedom,” she said. 

Village President Bob 

Bielinski then addressed 

the crowd, giving thanks 

to all service men and 

women, encouraging others 

to do the same. 

“When you see a man or 

women in uniform, thank 

them for their services, for 

protecting us and for securing 

our freedom,” Bielinski 

said. 

Near the end of the ceremony, 

former Commander 

Mike Jonscher and two 

American Legion Jr. members, 

placed a wreath on 

the Village Hall grounds, 

in honor of the many fallen 

local heroes. 

“Today’s service recognizes 

those who have paid 

for our freedom with their 

lives. It is necessary for us 

to come together as a community 

to recognize and 

remember the sacrifices 

made,” Jonscher said. 

When the Wilmette 

Community Band played 

the Armed Forces Salute, 

recognizing Veterans in 

the crowd for their bravery, 

residents like Rich 

Meneghello who served 

in the Korean War and his 

wife, Mary, were filled 

with emotion. 

“It is so important that 

the community comes together 

each year, not only 

to remember our fallen 

heroes, but also to support 

those who are still with 

us today. These men and 

women have endured so 

much,” Mary Meneghello 

said. “Each year I get tears 

in my eyes at this service 

for different reason. This 

year, during the [Armed 

Forces Salute], my husband 

couldn’t stand, but he raised 

his hand, as others acknowledged 

all he has done of the 

country. I am very proud to 

be by his side.”

Wilmette printing business remains center of activity for many 

Hilary Anderson 


The place is like an oldfashioned 

town square. 

People wander into 

Mid-Central Printing and 

Mailing for just about any 

reason —not just printing 

services. 

“Our shop is a small 

version of Times Square,” 

John Korzak, Jr. said. “It is 

one of the friendliest places 

in Wilmette. If I put a coffee 

pot out front, some individuals 

likely would spend 

the day here.” 

Korzak even hands out 

dog treats for the fur children 

of customers and visitors 

who accompany them. 

Mid-Central Printing 

and Mailing moved to its 

current location last year 

—1211 Wilmette Ave., on 

the busy southwest corner 

of Wilmette Avenue and 

Green Bay Road. It continues 

to be a gathering center. 

Some visit Korzak’s 

shop for its printing services. 

Others come just 

because it is there with no 

special reason in mind. 

Its location is not all that 

captures the attention of 

passersby. 

The shop’s front window 

has a collection of antique 

items -- typewriters, a small 

printing press and even a 

1906 Edison Home Phonograph 

that once played 

music on a type of cylinder. 

“One of the typewriters is 

the heavy, manual kind my 

dad used in college,” Korzak 

said. “Another belongs 

to an elderly man who using 

his walker stopped by and 

gave me his old typewriter 

he did not want any more. 

He saw the other ones in 

the window and thought I 

would like his.” 

The shop fulfills every 

type of business and personal 

printing request that 

comes in plus the unexpected 

ones. 

“Every day is different 

and we never know what 

print or non-print-related 

request we will get,” said 

Mary Barber, a former 

teacher. “This is a fun place 

to work. We have to be creative 

sometimes and think 

outside the box. We do everything 

business-related 

cards, reports, brochures, 

banners, mailers, newsletters, 

even a personal newspaper 

that is sold by an 

enterprising individual outside 

of Walgreens on Green 

Bay. If a customer tells us 

what they want for the end 

product but do not know

Patty Johnson, of Wilmette, recently at Mid-Central 

Printing and Mailing in Wilmette. Hilary Anderson/22nd 

Century Media 

how to get there, we problem 

solve and get it done.” 

Korzak’s business is celebrating 

its 46th anniversary. 

“My dad, John Korzak 

Sr., bought the printing 

business in 1972,” he said. 

“He was a ‘corporate refugee’ 

who wanted his own 

business. At first he thought 

he would like a hardware 

store but this one became 

available.” 

Korzak related some of 

the business’ history. 

A Wilmette resident, B.B. 

Udell who had a colorful 

history, started the printing 

firm He owned the business, 

which was the predecessor 

of Mid-Central Printing. At 

the time, Udell published 

a weekly newspaper, Wilmette 

Announcements. 

“Udell’s printing business 

originally was located 

in his house on Park Avenue,” 

Korzak said. “The 

business had a few different 

names following his ownership. 

The firm moved to 

1225 Central Street around 

1962. Employees had the 

opportunity to rename the 

printing business. Since it 

was in the middle of the 

block, Mid-Central became 

its name.” 

Wilmette’s Patty Johnson, 

one of many longtime 

customers, walked in 

to talk about an upcoming 

project. 

“I have been coming 

here for years to get printing 

projects done,” Johnson 

said. “I enjoy the socializing 

that goes on here and 

like supporting local businesses 

especially familyrun 

ones.” 

Advancing technology 

resulted in updating machinery 

for the business but 

not how Korzak and Barber 

service customers. 

“We keep up with technology 

and service our 

customers more quickly 

because of advances,” Korzak 

said. “It used to be that 

customers would come in 

with a job and get it at the 

end of the week. Now most 

everyone wants it [their 

job] tomorrow. Since my 

dad bought this business, 

we have gone from letterpress 

where you set the 

type, to offset—making a 

plate, to digital. The last ten 

years have seen the most 

changes. Some even occurred 

within a year.” 

“People often come here 

with just an idea and we 

figure out how to do it,” 

emphasized Barber. “We 

want people to pick our 

brain. It is part of our job. 

Every day has a different 

challenge but we always 

learn something new.” 

Korzak and Barber related 

a couple of the unexpected, 

fun requests they 

have received. 

“When the time changed 

occurred in March, one 

woman came in and asked 

us how to set her clock 

and the date on it,” Korzak 

said. “I worked with it, set 

the time, changed the date 

and gave it back to her. The 

woman walked out happy. 

The next day she came 

back and said the clock still 

did not work right. The date 

would not change either. 

Turns out the clock needed 

a new battery. I put a new 

battery in and the clock 

worked. Then I put a piece 

of tape over the non-working 

date part of the clock so 

it would not bother her. She 

was happy.” 

“One of the stranger requests 

occurred when a gentleman 

walked in and said 

something on his back was 

bothering him. Could we 

help him find the problem,” 

said Barber. “We discovered 

some hair on his back got 

tangled with the fibers of his 

sweater. A pair of scissors 

solved that problem.” 

“Every day there is 

something different,” Korzak 

said. “And we meet 

someone new.”

Entrepreneurship team wins $11K at The Next Launch competition 

Submitted by New Trier 

New Trier High School 

sophomores Camille Scrine, 

Cole Jiaras and Lauren 

Schwaab are receiving 

$11,000 to make their 

small business dreams a 

reality after placing as first 

runners-up in The Next 

Launch, a regional business 

pitch competition for 

high school students at the 

Indiana IoT Lab in May. 

The entrepreneurship 

students and fellow team 

member Ethan Lestrud, 

who could not attend 

the competition, created 

“Spark,” a mobile app that 

will allow homeowners 

to sell parking spaces for 

one-time events on their 

driveway or in their garage. 

They came up with the idea 

after discussing parking demand 

at New Trier events, 

but the students see it as 

being applicable to athletic 

events, concerts, street fests 

and more in Chicagoland 

and beyond. 

Another New Trier entrepreneurship 

student, 

Brian Chung, earned 

$1,000 at the competition 

for advancing the final 

round among nine teams 

with his one-time use Apple 

device charger called 

ePod. Chung plans to sell 

the recyclable devices 

straight to businesses, 

which could brand them as 

marketing giveaways. 

The competition came 

at the culmination of New 

Trier’s inaugural, yearlong 

entrepreneurship 

program, INCubatoredu. 

On May 10, five student 

entrepreneurship teams 

presented their final business 

concepts before a 

panel of industry experts 

at the Winnetka Campus, 

and three qualified for The 

Next Launch competition, 

hosted by the Ron Rubin 

School for the Entrepreneur 

at Culver Academies. 

Those teams included the 

snack food concept “Bakon 

Bites” by Charlie Ken-

competition for high school students. The team won

placing as first runners-up. Photo Submitted 

dal, “ePod” and “Spark.” 

Throughout the yearlong 

INCubatoredu course, 

student teams work to take 

business ideas from concept 

to successful funding 

in an incubator environment 

designed to replicate 

real entrepreneurship challenges. 

A panel of judges 

comprised of local business 

leaders facilitated the 

event by asking each team 

a series of questions to determine 

if their business 

concept was worthy of investment. 

INCubatoredu is a nationally 

recognized program 

that provides a 

specialized curriculum including 

online instructional 

materials, a coaching and 

mentoring framework and 

professional development 

for teachers and volunteers. 

The New Trier Educational 

Foundation is supporting 

this initiative by providing 

funding to help secure the 

licenses necessary for New 

Trier teachers to have access 

to these resources. If 

you would like to contribute 

toward the licensing 

fees, the Foundation is accepting 

donations at www. 

newtrierfoundation.org/ 

biz-ed. 

Kristi Fischer, New Trier 

Business Education Department 

Chair, noted that 

the program creates opportunities 

for members of the 

community to participate 

as mentors or coaches of 

New Trier students. 

At The Next Launch 

competition, each team 

presented a business idea 

that included a description 

of the product, company 

or service and its 

market need. The business 

idea was also required to 

include selling propositions, 

along with the future 

growth characteristics of 

the product or service. A 

panel of professional business 

leaders judged the 

competition and selected 

the winning team. 

“There’s a huge need 

for entrepreneurial development 

at a high school 

level,” said Alex Kurrelmeier, 

director of the Ron 

Rubin School for the Entrepreneur. 

“Our goal is to 

make The Next Launch a 

national competition to fill 

that gap.” 

Twenty-four teams from 

eight schools participated 

at this year’s competition, 

and each team presented a 

five-minute pitch. After the 

first round, nine teams advanced 

to the final round, 

earning $1,000. The final 

nine teams pitched, with 

the top 3 earning additional 

money.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

West Nile virus-positive 

mosquitoes found in 

Glenview 

Two batches of mosquitoes 

collected on May 25 

from traps in Glenview 

and Morton Grove tested 

positive for West Nile virus. 

According to the North 

Shore Mosquito Abatement 

District, which conducted 

the tests, they were 

lb. 

lb. 

the first West Nile viruspositive 

mosquitoes found 

in the district this year. 

2017 saw four human 

cases in the district — two 

in Evanston, one in Glencoe 

and one in Glenview 

— and at least 80 in Illinois, 

with the majority appearing 

in the Chicagoland 

area. 

While the risk of being 

infected with West Nile 

virus is low at this time of 

year, the District recommends 

that residents take 

personal protection measures 

to minimize mosquito 

bites, including using 

insect repellent, wearing 

loose fitting clothing, and 

avoiding peak mosquito 

feeding times during the 

hours around dawn and 

dusk. 

Residents are urged to 

examine their property 

and eliminate any items 

that can hold water, particularly 

smaller items that 

may be easily overlooked. 

Mosquitoes can breed in 

anything that holds water. 

“West Nile is endemic 

to the area, so we have it 

every year. It’s just a matter 

of to what degree,” 

said Communications 

Manager Dave Zazra. 

“It’s also one of the mosquito 

viruses that can kill. 

... If you’re lucky, there’s 

fever and aches and things 

like that, but if it’s neuroinvasive, 

that’s where 

things get very scary.”

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Glencoe Roast to rebrand 

under new ownership 

For more than nine 

years, Yolanda Kowalski 

ran Glencoe Roast with the 

help of her son, Kevin. 

Preparing for retirement 

in mid-June, Kowalski sold 

the coffee shop last month 

to Glencoe residents Lou 

and Julie Rubin. Kowalski 

stayed on the team to help 

through the transition at 

700 Vernon Ave. 

“It’s a company she’s 

owned for nine years, and 

she’s worked hard, she’s 

done it all on her own and 

it’s not easy,” Lou Rubin 

said. “I have a lot of respect 

for what she’s done there, 

and she’s been exceptional 

with this handoff.” 

The Rubins plan to 

make some changes this 

summer. They will close 

Glencoe Roast sometime 

at the end of June or the 

beginning of July for a remodel. 

Then, they will reopen 

the shop with a new 

name, Hometown Coffee 

and Juice Co., and a new 

concept. 

“It’s still going to have a 

coffee house-feel but we’re 

going to redesign it (and) 

we’re going to rename it,” 

Lou Rubin said. “It’s going 

to have a lighter, brighter 

feel in there. We’re going 

to try to get the windows to 

open in the front.” 

So far, the only change 

they’ve made so far is to 

the brand of coffee. Kowalski 

served Intelligentsia 

coffee, but under the Rubins, 

Glencoe Roast now 

serves La Colombe. 

After the reopening 

later this summer, another 

change customers will see 

is the addition of food selections 

and drinks, like 

avocado toast, egg sandwiches, 

bowls, smoothies 

and juices. The menu 

will be limited, Lou Rubin 

said, but they’ll offer a bigger 

selection to add more 

food options in downtown 

Glencoe.

Contributing Columnist 

•July 16, 1876: Members 

of Wilmette’s 

churches are engaged in 

a lively debate over the 

Fourth Commandment 

(“Remember the Sabbath 

day, to keep it holy”). The 

debate began when one 

member of the Methodist 

Church criticized another 

for reading Sunday 

newspapers. The Chicago 

Tribune reported that despite 

the controversy, “not 

one reader of the Tribune 

has ordered his subscription 

discontinued, and it is 

fair to presume that such 

narrow and bigoted views 

as are advanced against 

reading Sunday papers 

will not be accepted by 

the majority of the citizens 

of the village.” 

• Oct. 20, 1913: John 

Fielding, 51, of 425 

Washington Ave., Wilmette, 

was found guilty of 

embezzling $4,900 from 

his former employer, the 

Northwestern Gas Light 

and Coke Co., and was 

sentenced to one to ten 

years in the Joliet penitentiary. 

Fielding disappeared 

with the funds more 

than three years ago. His 

colleagues, friends, and 

wife were baffled. For 

sixteen months, he spent 

the money while traveling 

in Canada and Europe. On 

Christmas Day, 1911, he 

surrendered to New York 

police. “My conscience 

drove me to come back to 

America and give myself 

up,” he explained. 

• June 12, 1918: Hugo 

Zeggel, 40, of 1326 Forest 

Ave., Wilmette, was the 

victim of anti-German 

sentiment that’s sweeping 

the nation as the Great 

War drags on. Zeggel 

was born in Prussia and 

immigrated to the U.S 

as a small child. Today, 

his garage was set ablaze 

and destroyed. A placard 

tacked to a nearby 

tree read: “Pro-Germans 

Beware — Zeggel you 

slacker, if you can keep a 

car you can buy a liberty 

bond.” The “car” was 

presumably a reference 

to a vehicle in the garage 

that was also destroyed 

by the fire. The arsonists 

were apparently unaware 

that the car belonged to 

Thomas and Helen Cook, 

non-German neighbors, 

not to Zeggel. 

• Dec. 31, 1918: 


of 1318 Forest Ave., 

Wilmette, whose car was 

destroyed by arsonists 

only six months ago, were 

the victims of a burglary 

today. While the family 

was away celebrating 

New Year’s Eve, thieves 

stole a fur overcoat, two 

watches, and silverware 

valued at $500. 

• Nov. 6, 1922: Bernice 

Cook, 12, the daughter of 


who recently moved to 

912 Twelfth St., Wilmette, 

was arrested in Milwaukee 

today, along with Wallace 

Coffey, 18, son of Michael 

and Nellie Coffey of 603 

Central Ave., Wilmette. 

The pair had “borrowed” 

Nellie Coffey’s new car 

and had run away. Matrimony 

wasn’t their motive. 

Edward Dunne is the only 

person to have served 

as both Chicago’s Mayor 

(1905 to 1907) and Illinois’ 

Governor (1913 to 1917). 

Photo submitted 

Rather, Bernice feared parental 

punishment for an 

earlier transgression, and 

Wallace was angry over 

discipline administered 

by his father. “We can 

sleep in the car and stay 

away for a week,” Bernice 

reasoned. “When we come 

back, everybody will have 

forgotten about it. I can 

pretend I am 16 and get a 

job in a restaurant.” 

• July 5, 1933: Louis 

Gillson, President of 

Wilmette Park District, 

responded today to a 

tirade by Edward Dunne 

(former Illinois Governor, 

Chicago Mayor, and Circuit 

Court Judge). When 

Dunne’s family came to 

the Wilmette beach on 

June 26, his daughter was 

given a parking ticket; 

several family members 

were stopped from swimming 

in a restricted area; 

and the group’s clothing, 

strewn about the beach, 

was confiscated. “It’s 

an outrage that anyone 

should be treated that 

way,” Dunne blustered. 

“Most of the residents 

of Wilmette gain their 

livelihood in Chicago.

While the official 

start of summer 

is still two 

weeks away, here at the 

North Shore offices of 

22nd Century Media, it 

feels as if the season has 

already begun. 

As you read this edition 

of The Beacon, the sixth of 

our seven editorial interns 

will have started working 

for us. We have one more 

beginning next week. 

With their work spread 

out over our seven newspapers,

school’s annual Honors 

and Awards ceremony. 

As a Spartan, Raddon 

was known for his involvement 

in a wide range of 

extracurricular activities 

including soccer, lacrosse, 

volleyball, swimming 

and performing arts. If he 

wasn’t playing sports or 

skateboarding, he was adding 

to his record collection, 

or performing in choir or a 

sketch comedy group. 

It was the musical interest 

that really paid off. 

Now Raddon’s millions 

of fans know him as Kaskade, 

six-time Grammy 

nominee, DJ and producer. 

His love for dance music 

surely making names for 

themselves this summer as 

our readers become more 

and more familiar with 

each. 

For The Beacon, we 

have three working specifically 

for us. The first, 

Erica Gelman, started late 

last month. Currently a 

student at the University of 

Wisconsin-Madison, Erica 

was excited to have her 

first byline in the May 31 

edition. If you recall, we 

had a Dining Out (Quick 

Bites) feature on the best 

spots around town for dishes 

specializing in the use 

of avocados. Erica hit up 

our friends at Wilmette’s 

AO Sushi, Westlake Plaza, 

for the Caterpillar sushi 

roll. Erica met up with AO 

Sushi General Manager 

Emi Fukuda, who has always 

been kind to us in the 

past as we’ve featured the 

restaurant on a few occasions. 

Erica met with Emi 

has sold out top venues 

such as Navy Pier and the 

Staples Center. 

Raddon’s former theatre 

director Pat Murphy 

presented him with the 

school’s Distinguished 

Alumnus award this year. 

As Raddon took the microphone, 

he spoke how 

supportive the local community 

has been. 

“My family, friends and 

faith have always given 

me confidence to move 

forward,” he said. “I’ve 

never felt overwhelmed 

because I’ve been doing 

something that I love. It 

was this foundation that 

helped me to keep going.”

in-person, took some great 

photos of the sushi, tried it 

and then wrote about it. 

Not only was Erica 

thrilled about her first 

story, but her parents also 

made sure to grab some 

extra copies. For readers of 

The Beacon, The Glencoe 

Anchor and The Winnetka 

Current, expect some 

quality stories from Erica 

in the weeks to come. 

Our second intern, Michael 

Parsky, also comes 

to us from the University 

of Wisconsin-Madison. 

Michael will be working 

exclusively with our 

sports editors. He is a 

staff writer for The Daily 

Cardinal back at school 

where he covered football 

and women’s basketball, 

among other things. This 

marks the first time we’ve 

ever had an intern work just 

with our sports department. 

We expect it to be a solid 

experience for all involved.

Last, but not least, of 

our interns, is Madeleine 

Tung, of Wilmette. She 

started Wednesday. Madeleine 

comes to us from 

Yale University where her 

prospective majors are 

English and music. Readers 

of our sports section 

may remember Madeleine’s 

name from her days 

as a fencer at New Trier 

High School. She was an

That’s the lineup, at

Radio personality Showbiz Shelly got her start at New Trier 

Now hosts Kiss FM 

midday show 

Megan Bernard, Editor 

When Shelly Menaker 

didn’t make New Trier 

High School’s volleyball 

team, it led her down a 

path she was destined for. 

“I started playing volleyball 

in junior high and 

wanted to pursue it in high 

school,” said Menaker, 

who grew up in Wilmette. 

“It was pretty time-consuming. 

So, when I didn’t 

make the volleyball team, I 

had more time and I knew 

I loved the media.” 

Menaker got involved 

with the school’s radio station, 

WNTH, where eventually 

she had a show and 

became the program director. 

Fast-forward 15-plus 

years later. Menaker, now 

a host and entertainment 

reporter on Chicago radio 

station Kiss FM, said, 

“Things worked out quite 

nicely.” 

“I would watch TRL (Total 

Request Live) every day 

after school and that’s how 

I fell in love with [media],” 

said Menaker, who goes 

by Showbiz Shelly on air. 

“When I watched the show, 

I would always say that 

I’d love to interview these 

guys. Then when I moved 

forward, I always had it in 

the back of mind that that’s 

what I’d end up doing.” 

At WNTH, Menaker 

would bring her favorite 

CDs to play over the North 

Shore airwaves and even 

hosted a pop culture quiz. 

“At the time, I didn’t realize 

how lucky we were,” 

she said. “Now, I’ve realized 

it’s really a unique 

thing (to have a high 

school radio station).” 

Menaker graduated 

from New Trier in 2003 

and went on to nearby 

Northwestern University 

to pursue a degree in media 

— specifically, television 

— at Medill School of 

Journalism. 

During her sophomore 

year, she got an internship 

with Chicago’s B96 in the 

promotions department. 

Since she had previous 

radio experience from 

New Trier, B96 soon offered 

her a internship spot 

on the night show with 

Doug Bobrowski and Justin 

Roman (Stylz and Roman). 

She accepted the position 

and, for a year and a 

half, Menaker would go to 

class during the day and be 

on-air at night. 

Menaker received a 

great response from B96 

listeners, so Stylz and 

Roman added a weekly 

segment for her called, 

“Shelly’s Street Talk.” 

When Menaker was a 

college junior, she was 

asked to join B96’s morning 

show — an equally 

“exciting and terrifying” 

career move for her. 

“The show that was on 

at that time, Eddie and 

JoBo, I listened to them 

growing up,” she said. 

“But I learned so much 

from them. I have a lot of 

fun memories.” 

Menaker remained on 

B96’s morning show for 

13 years until early April, 

when radio personality 

Kevin “DreX” Buchar replaced 

her and Jamar “J 

Niice” McNeil on “The J 

Show.” Buchar, according 

to media journalist Robert 

Feder, hosted mornings for 

eight years on Kiss FM. In 

2010, he left to briefly host 

evenings in San Francisco. 

After several weeks 

of silence, Menaker announced 

in late April she’d 

be hosting her own twohour 

midday show and 

contribute to the morning 

show with Christopher 

“Fred” Frederick and Angi 

Taylor on Kiss FM. 

“The response I’ve gotten 

has been overwhelmingly 

positive,” Menaker 

said of the job change. 

“It’s amazing to see how 

excited people are for me. 

Being on the radio for so 

long, I’ve formed a special 

bond with my listeners.” 

Menaker “loves” the 

new adventure and has 

been embracing the different 

dynamic of hosting her 

own show, she said. 

“It’s totally different 

having your own show 

than working with a group 

of people,” she added. 

“[I’ve had] a lot of help 

with people in the programming 

department. I’m 

learning the technical stuff 

too, like running the board 

for my shift.” 

The best part? She’s still 

doing what she loves — 

reporting on pop culture 

from her hometown market. 

In a childhood journal, 

then 13-year-old Menaker 

wrote about how great 

it would be to interview 

groups like the Backstreet 

Boys. Weeks ago, she interviewed 

them for her 

“second or third time.” 

“It’s my favorite part, 

interviewing celebrities,” 

Menaker said. “We put 

these people on pedestals. 

I love to get deeper and 

figure out what makes 

these people tick. Although 

sometimes I only 

get a couple short minutes 

with them, I get to know 

them on more of a human 

level.”

description. 

“I always said that I 

wanted to be in journalism 

and the media. It’s exciting 

to be part of that small 

world of knowing exactly 

what’s happening in the 

world,” she said. “Being 

at the Grammys or like 

‘American Idol,’ you are 

part of something that everyone’s 

talking about the 

next day.” 

Menaker credits her radio 

success back to her 

start at New Trier and 

years of hard work. 

“Don’t be afraid to ask 

questions and work hard,” 

Menaker said. “You do 

have to put in the work. At 

first, you don’t see the results 

you want, but you’ll 

get there eventually.” 

Menaker’s family still 

resides in Wilmette. Her 

sister, Elise, also a New 

Trier graduate, is a sideline 

reporter for the Big 

Ten Network.

Any New Trier teen 

who has ever thought of 

becoming a rock star can 

make their dreams come 

true this summer, thanks 

to Wilmette Rocks! – a 

new program offered by 

the Wilmette Park District, 

giving budding bands the 

chance to play at the Wallace 

Bowl in Gillson Park. 

Spearheaded by Alison 

Dornheggen, theater artistic 

director, there will be 

two opportunities — June 

21 and Aug. 7 — where 

bands featuring teens aged 

between 14-22, can apply 

to perform in front of all 

their family and friends, 

gaining local fame and 

valuable experience during 

this once-in-a lifetime 

opportunity. 

“Playing out in front of 

a crowd, particularly in a 

venue as nice as the Wallace 

Bowl, is a unique opportunity 

that will help teen 

musicians learn and grow,” 

Dornheggen said. “Along 

with having the chance to 

play live in front of family 

and friends, musicians will 

also learn stage etiquette, 

like prepping the stage for 

the band that follows. Plus, 

with our hopes to draw 

kids from all over the New 

Trier Township, teens will 

meet other teens with similar 

interests, giving them 

a chance to collaborate on 

future musical endeavors. 

Besides all that, young artists 

propel the music indus-

THE BEST 

TIME TO 

BUY!

try; you never know where 

an opportunity like this one 

can lead.” 

Along with providing 

teen performers the chance 

to be seen and heard, Dornheggen 

said this endeavor 

also fulfills the Park District’s 

mission to provide 

engaging opportunities for 

all ages within Wilmette. 

“One of our goals at the 

Park District is to provide 

enriching activities for 

the entire community,” 

Dornheggen said. “Musical 

opportunities like this 

one, where families and 

friends can gather to watch 

young artists perform, is a 

great way to spend a summer 

evening, enjoying the 

beautiful surroundings 

with one another.” 

So, how does one get 

involved? The process includes 

emailing the park 

district at marketing@wilpark.org 

to request an application. 

Any style of music 

is sought, an adult must 

be present at the time of 

the performance, and performers 

are requested to 

provide a fully refundable 

security deposit of $100. 

Dornheggen said she 

hopes that Wilmette 

Rocks! Will merely be a 

first step in bringing youth 

musicians out into the public 

eye. 

“These kinds of opportunities 

don’t come along 

every day. Any adult who 

has been in the music industry 

knows just how 

hard it can be to get in front 

of a crowd. ‘What could be 

better than stepping into 

the Wallace Bowl, having 

your music heard by 

all your friends?’” Dornheggen 

said. “This is the 

chance to be a real rock 

star, right here in Wilmette.”

Ramen trend finds its way up to the North Shore 

Ronin’s Spoon 

brings authentic 

ramen dishes to 

Northbrook 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

It’s often said that when 

one door closes, another 

opens. 

When Wayne Poon 

heard his friend was going 

to retire and close 

Northtown Mandar Inn, 

he jumped on the opportunity 

to turn the restaurant 

into something new. 

Happy with the space and 

location, Poon kept just 

about everything the same, 

but came up with a new 

concept for the restaurant 

at 2659 Shermer Road, 

Northbrook. 

A native of Hong Kong 

with a love for Asian food, 

Poon decided to switch 

things up from a Chinese 

restaurant and turn it into 

a Japanese and ramen restaurant. 

“I like Japanese food 

more and wanted to bring 

it into the restaurant,” 

Poon said. 

Soon after the closing 

of Northtown Mandar Inn, 

Ronin’s Spoon opened in 

May of 2016. 

Poon says business has 

been good in the first year 

and hopes to continue its 

success in its second year. 

Part of the success comes 

from experienced and 

friendly staff members. 

Grace Avila, of Glenview, 

is waitress/hostess 

at Ronin’s, but was also on 

staff at Northtown Mandar 

Inn before it closed. 

Avila knows the ins and 

outs of the menu and is 

there to offer her knowledge 

to new customers. 

She said many people 

do not understand what 

good ramen is and instead 

expect bland, packaged ramen. 

But, Ronin’s offers 

authentic ramen with a lot 

of ingredients and flavor. 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors decided 

to stop by the restaurant to 

give the ramen — and its 

other offerings — a try, 

and we may just be hooked 

on it. 

For Poon, one of the 

most important things is 

offering fresh ingredients. 

Poon said the restaurant 

receives daily deliveries 

to offer some of the highest 

quality dishes, at an affordable 

price. 

We could not wait to 

see what all the craze was 

about, and started off with 

two signature ramen dishes 

at Ronin’s. 

First up was the karaage 

chicken ramen ($12.60), 

made with tonkotsu pork 

broth, boneless chicken 

thigh, poached egg, nori, 

narutomaki, lotus root, 

bamboo shoots, wood ear 

mushrooms and scallions. 

All of the ingredients in 

the ramen blended together 

to create an abundance 

of flavors, and the chicken 

was nice and tender. 

We couldn’t stop at just 

one ramen bowl, so we 

also tried the chasshu ramen 

($12.80), made with 

tonkotsu pork broth, chasshu 

pork, poached egg, 

nori, narutomaki, lotus root 

bamboo shoots, wood ear 

mushrooms and scallions. 

This dish had many of 

the same flavors as the 

karaage chicken ramen, 

but Avila said this one is 

more of a traditional ramen 

dish. 

Since opening a year 

ago, Poon has added more 

appetizers to the menu. 

Among the appetizer

options is the karaage tofu 

($7), which is deep fried 

tofu with pepper and salt 

powder, a great item for a 

vegetarian. This dish was 

a nice twist on tofu adding 

a bit more texture, flavor 

and crunch. 

We also tried the nasuagebitashi 

($7), which 

is an appetizer of eggplant 

topped with ginger and soy 

sauce. Another popular appetizer 

at Ronin’s is the soft 

shell crab tempura ($13). 

Finally, we tried the edamame 

($6), which is salted 

soybean pods with garlic 

and pepper. The seasoned 

edamame were a nice 

change of pace from typical 

edamame. 

For anyone not familiar 

with ramen or Japanese 

food, Avila said coming to 

the restaurant is an experience 

in and of itself. 

“We try to get the authentic 

flavors in each 

dish,” Avila said. “It is 

more of an experience than 

going to a normal restaurant. 

It is more interesting 

and you can have more fun 

with it. Most people are 

not familiar with how to 

eat ramen or what comes 

in the ramen bowl, so they 

are very surprised when 

they get it.”

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Sabrina Rice 

The senior helped lead the 

Trevians to a second-place 

finish in girls lacrosse. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a 

game? 

I always tap the goal 

left, right, up and down 

before a faceoff. It’s something 

I’ve always done. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the world, 

where would you go? 

Australia. I’ve always 

been obsessed with it and 

one of my best friends 

growing up lived there 

and she’s told me so much 

about it and it seems like a 

place I’d enjoy. 

What’s the best part 

Carlos Alvarez/22nd 

Century Media 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

Having that sense of 

community and being 

able to relate to the other 

athletes because we’re all 

going through the same 

thing. You have a built-in 

family almost. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

New Trier? 

Playing lacrosse in general. 

It’s been my most memorable 

experience, my closest 

friends are on the team and 

it’s something I’m going to 

cherish forever. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

It was coach Collins 

and Courtney Kaskey 

who have both said “start 

strong and finish strong.” 

It’s been our team saying 

all year. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

Tennis. I used to play as 

a kid and it’s always been 

fun. 

If you had a 

superpower what 

would it be and why? 

To fly and also go back 

in time. 

If you could have 

dinner with anybody, 

who would they be 

and why? 

Amy Schumer because 

I’ve always been obsessed 

with her and love her 

stand-up comedy. 

What’s the hardest 

part about playing 

lacrosse? 

When teams get in your 

head, it’s challenging to 

keep a good mindset and 

not let anything get to you. 

What’s the best 

part about playing 

lacrosse? 

My teammates. Every 

year, I’ve made the made 

the most amazing friends 

and had the most amazing 

teammates. I think that it’s 

so great because we share 

the same things together.

Boys volleyball 

New Trier takes fourth at state tournament 

Todd Marver 


The New Trier boys 

volleyball team lost two 

matches on the final day 

of the season, but still 

brought home a trophy. 

The Trevians placed in 

the top four in state for the 

second time in three years. 

After losing the semifinal 

match to Lincoln-Way 

East 25-14, 22-25, 17-25 

in the morning, the Trevians 

returned to the court in 

the afternoon, where they 

lost their second match of 

the day to Glenbard West 

15-25, 22-25 in the thirdplace 

match on Saturday, 

June 2, in Hoffman Estates. 

The Trevians (34-8) 

took home the fourth-place 

trophy after earning second 

place in 2016. 

“It’s extremely humbling,” 

senior middle hitter 

Joe D’Attomo said. 

“When I started playing 

varsity my sophomore 

year, I never expected to 

be in this position. I didn’t 

expect to be anywhere 

near what we’ve accomplished 

this year or any of 

the last three years. But it’s 

been an honor to play for 

this program and there’s 

no other coach I’d want to 

play under. This program 

has been an awesome experience.” 

New Trier was tied 2-2 

with Glenbard West early 

New Trier outside hitter Peter Brown takes a swing against Glenbard West Saturday, June 2, in Hoffman Estates. 

Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

in the first set of the thirdplace 

match, but the Hilltoppers 

responded with 

a 6-0 run to take an 8-2 

lead. Glenbard West further 

extended its lead to 

17-9, forcing New Trier 

to call a timeout. But the 

Trevians weren’t able to 

slow down the Hilltoppers 

as Glenbard West extended 

its advantage to double 

digits at 19-9 and didn’t 

look back from there. The 

second set was a different 

story though as it was 

much more closely contested 

with nine ties and 

three lead changes. 

“We had a little trouble 

passing to start so it got us 

a little choppy,” coach Sue 

Ellen Haak said. “But then 

we settled in and played 

our game and played well. 

It could’ve gone either 

way.” 

New Trier opened the 

second set with a quick 

3-0 lead, but Glenbard 

West responded to take 

its first lead of the second 

set at 9-8. The Hilltoppers 

took their largest lead of 

the second set at 17-13, 

forcing the Trevians to call 

a timeout. Glenbard West 

led by four points again 

at 19-15, but the Trevians 

responded with a 7-3 run 

to tie the score at 22-22. 

However, the Hilltoppers 

scored the next three 

points to win the match. 

New Trier’s 7-3 run to 

tie the score at 22-22 included 

a kill from junior 

outside hitter Jay Saravis, 

an ace from junior libero 

Aaron Schatz, two kills 

from sophomore opposite 

hitter Peter Brown and a 

kill from D’Attomo. 

“I feel like a sense of 

urgency was there (in the 

second set),” D’Attomo 

said. “I feel like in the first 

set we came out a little 

lackadaisical. I think we 

had more of an urge to win 

(in the second set). In the 

first set, we just came out 

a little lazy, but it’s okay.” 

Eight New Trier seniors 

concluded their high 

school volleyball careers. 

D’Attomo, middle hitter 

James Snyder and opposite 

hitter Marty Tatosian 

served as captains. The 

remaining seniors include 

libero Joey De Matteo, 

outside hitter Tennessee 

Fulks, setter Ethan Woodley, 

setter Tergel Gandelger 

and libero Sam Gillman. 

“The seniors mean everything 

to our team,” 

Haak said. “Teams do 

not achieve at this level 

if the seniors aren’t leading 

the charge. The seniors 

never checked out 

and they stepped up in the 

hard times. They were reflective. 

They pushed our 

team to acknowledge their 

own weaknesses. That’s 

the kind of stuff that helps 

kids get better. They welcome 

that kind of feedback.” 

LACROSSE

spot on the team,” Dolan 

said. “Then when it really 

counts, they have confidence.” 

Starr, who became more 

comfortable during the 

season, led the Ramblers 

in scoring with four goals. 

“Last year, we had 

12 seniors graduate so 

I knew that this year 

we would need someone 

to step up,” Starr said. 

“A lot of people stepped 

up. Losing seniors, we 

needed all the people we 

could, so I needed to be 

ready.” 

After being up only 6-4 

at the half, Loyola started 

the second half on an 8-0 

run thanks to two goals 

each by Caffery and Starr. 

After a slow start, the Ramblers 

turned on the jets. 

“In the second half, we 

made the pace a little faster,” 

Dwyer said. “The first 

half was a little sluggish 

and we picked up the pace 

a little bit. We had more 

success on the draws and 

that got us off to a good 

start. 

“We just finished better. 

We weren’t shooting that 

great in the first half and 

we started to shoot with 

more precision in the second 

half.” 

The team responded well 

after the semifinal loss to 

Hinsdale Central and knew 

despite not being in the game 

they had hoped for, they still 

had a successful season. 

“We just needed to remember 

that it’s just one 

game,” Dolan said. “We 

know that we’re still a better 

team than that loss represents 

us as and we can 

come back, play our game 

and end up on a really good 

note.”



Girls soccer 

Penalty kicks take down Trevs in state title game rematch 


Sports Editor 

Barrington and New Trier 

are starting to develop 

quite the rivalry. 

For the past two seasons, 

the powerhouse programs 

have faced off in the state 

championship game of the 

Illinois High School Association 

Class 3A girls soccer 

tournament. 

Both years, the game has 

gone to penalty kicks. Unlike 

2017 when the teams 

were deadlocked at zero 

after regulation and overtime, 

the 2018 edition went 

into the extra sessions tied 

at one. Unfortunately for 

the Trevians, this year ended 

as it did in 2017 —with 

a penalty-kick loss to the 

Fillies. 

“It was a good game, 

you’ve got two good teams 

out there and we’re going 

to battle,” New Trier coach 

Jim Burnside said. “Our 

girls did everything they 

could do tonight. They did 

everything possible to win 

this game.” 

After five shooters had 

gone, two players had 

scored on each, sending the 

match into sudden death. 

Since Barrington got to 

shoot first in the original 

round of penalty kicks, 

New Trier got to shoot 

first in sudden death. The 

Trevians’ shot, however, 

hit the crossbar, giving 

the Fillies a shot to win on 

their first attempt. The shot 

went to the far left corner, 

looked like it hit the post 

and bounced off. After a 

moment of confusion, the 

referee signaled it a goal, 

giving Barrington the win. 

The kick crossed the 

goal line, hit the angle 

iron inside the goal and 

bounced out. However, the 

referees had gone off the 

New Trier’s Nicole Kaspi blocks a shot by Barrington’s Ashley Rocco during the state title game Saturday, June 2, in Naperville. Tracy Allen/22nd 

Century Media 

field quickly before giving 

anyone an explanation. 

The win ended another 

fantastic season for the 

Trevians, one that some of 

their players felt may have 

been a bit unexpected. 

“I think we defied a lot 

of odds this season; I don’t 

think anyone thought we’d 

come near second place and 

I’m so proud of this team,” 

senior Nicole Kaspi said. 

“I wouldn’t have wanted to 

be on any other team, doing 

it alongside Caroline 

Iserloth, who has been on 

my team since freshman 

year at New Trier. The season, 

as a whole, I think we 

came together like nobody 

thought we could. I’m really 

proud of us. 

“We lost amazing players 

last year but we were 

able to rally and have 

people step up into new 

positions, especially Josie 

Crumley, who is an outside 

back. She was on JV and 

came up and starts on varsity 

and that says so much 

about her. A lot of people 

step up and it’s great to see 

because when you lose a 

lot of players, you’re questioning 

whether you’re 

able to do it next year but 

we stepped up and it was 

really fun to watch.” 

Kaspi got the Trevians 

on the board first, scoring 

with 13 minutes, 41 seconds 

remaining in the first 

half, using some of her basketball 

skills to help her get 

the goal. 

“My basketball helped 

me a lot there, it helped me 

post up on her,” Kaspi said. 

“Maybe she tripped, but all 

of the sudden she wasn’t 

there. I had to do it for my 

team.” 

The Fillies evened the 

score just 3:49 into the 

second half when Ashley 

Prell drove down the 

field, made a move past 

one defender and put the 

ball into the goal. 

Prell had another great 

chance at the 10:52 mark 

on a breakaway, but New 

Trier goalie Meghan Dwyer 

came out of the goal, 

slid and broke up any 

chance the Barrington junior 

had of getting it past 

her. 

“I came out like it was 

my last shot of saving the 

ball,” Dwyer said. “I just 

followed the ball, I didn’t 

watch it she dove or anything. 

I watched the ball 

and she took a touch wide 

and I went for it. After she 

took a long touch, I was 

ready.” 

The Trevians’ junior 

keeper played a great game 

in her first title-game experience, 

constantly keeping 

her squad in the game, 

especially in the second 

half. Both her head coach 

and Kaspi were happy to 

see her step up in big game 

situations. 

“That’s what Meghan 

does,” Burnside said. 

“She’s a great athlete, reads 

the game well and I thought 

she played great the entire 

game, a great first varsity 

season.” 

“She was incredible tonight,” 

Kaspi said. “She 

came up really, really big 

for us, especially when she 

had an amazing stop on the 

left forward to keep us in 

the game. Meghan does big 

things but this is the biggest 

game I’ve ever seen 

her play and it came at the 

right time.” 

Kaspi and Caroline Iserloth 

— two seniors that 

have been on varsity for all 

four years — realize how 

difficult it is for a team to 

make it this far five years 

in a row and the two leave 

their decorated Trevian careers 

with four state medals, 

something that is pretty 

much unheard of in any 

sport. 

“It’s insanely special, 

it’s an accomplishment not 

many people have,” Kaspi 

said. “Me and Caroline are 

super, super excited and 

proud of what we’ve done. 

In a way, it’ll never get old. 

Extending your season to 

the last possible game is 

a feat like no other, something 

I’ll be proud of.” 

For Burnside and his 

fellow coaches, this year’s 

team had something that 

will be hard to replace. 

“It was a wonderful 

season,” he said. “This is 

one of the greatest groups 

of kids that will ever go 

through New Trier. They 

match so many of the other 

great teams. It’s heart, it’s 

effort, they are just a superb 

group of kids. 

“It’s a great accomplishment 

(getting back here every 

year). Everyone thinks 

it’s normal, but it’s not normal 

what these kids have 

done.”



Girls lacrosse 

Trevians take second in inaugural state tournament 

Neil Milbert 


Like Loyola Academy, 

the New Trier girls lacrosse 

team discovered Hinsdale 

Central is not a nice place 

to visit on the first weekend 

in June. 

After ending Loyola’s 

nine-year reign as queen 

of the hill in the semifinals, 

host Hinsdale Central 

downed the Trevians 13-3 

in the state championship 

game on Saturday, June 2. 

“They were coming off 

a huge win the night before 

and they played harder than 

us today,” said New Trier 

coach Pete Collins. “We 

didn’t play as well as we 

needed to.” 

The Trevians (20-4) had 

defeated the Red Devils 

(18-5) in the last game of 

the regular season on May 

17 and their only previous 

losses had come against 

Loyola and teams from 

California and Ohio. 

“In that game we got 

the ball, we played good 

defense, we controlled the 

tempo and we scored,” 

Collins continued, looking 

back on the regular season 

encounter. 

This time the Red Devils 

dominated the major statistical 

categories by a wide 

margin: shots 23-9, ground 

balls 10-3 and draw controls 

13-4. 

“They scored the first 

goal, then we scored two 

and then we kind of fell 

apart,” said junior Lucy 

Murray, who figured in 

both of those goals. 

Hinsdale Central’s Sydney 

Collignon opened the 

scoring with 20 seconds 

elapsed. Less than threeand-a-half 

minutes later, 

the Trevians answered 

when Murray set up senior 

Courtney Kaskey for

a bouncing shot that found 

the net and with 5:12 remaining, 

they took the lead 

on a low, hard shot by Murray. 

But from then on it was 

all Red Devils. Goals by 

Kristina Strtak, Jenna Collignon 

and Jessica Joy gave 

them a 4-2 lead at the half 

and in the second half they 

picked up a full head of 

steam. The Trevians fell behind 

8-2 before sophomore 

Charley Meier scored their 

third goal with 6:27 to play 

but the Red Devils perished 

the thought of a comeback 

by exploding for five goals 

in the closing minutes. 

“Their pressure in the 

midfield was amazing,”

Trier’s semifinal win, go

said Murray, who is committed 

to playing college 

lacrosse at Dartmouth after 

she finishes her high school 

career next year. “We had a 

lot of turnovers and they (at 

times) were able to hold the 

ball for five minutes. That 

made a difference. 

“Once we got the ball we 

were so worried about scoring 

that we would just turn 

it over and they capitalized 

on our turnovers. Another 

thing they did well was win 

a lot of draws. They scored 

a lot of goals on (some of) 

those. That hurt us a lot.” 

This was the first year 

that high school lacrosse 

came under the Illinois 

High School Athletic Association 

umbrella. Previously, 

the governing body was 

the Illinois High School 

Women’s Lacrosse Association. 

Kaskey, who will play 

at the University of Massachusetts 

next year, ended 

her New Trier career with 

her fourth Final Four appearance 

in for years. 

“When I was a freshman 

I was pulled up for the 

playoffs and we finished 

third,” she remembered. 

“When I was a sophomore 

we took second place and 

we did it again last year and 

this year. 

“It was not the outcome 

we wanted but it was a successful 

season. I can’t believe 

it’s over.” 

Collins praised his players. 

“It was a good blend 

of girls,” he said. “They 

played super hard and had 

a lot of fun. They made it 

fun to come out and coach 

them every day.” 


Loyola bounces back to take third place title in IHSA 


Sports Editor 

For many teams, playing 

a game less than 16 hours 

after a tough loss can be 

extremely hard. 

Loyola Academy faced 

this exact dilemma. They 

could either be demoralized 

by the loss or could 

be motivated to fight back. 

Loyola chose the latter. 

After a slow start, 

Loyola ran away with a 

17-6 win over Naperville 

North in the third-place 

game of the IHSA state 

series Saturday, June 2, in 

Hinsdale. 

“We were a little sluggish 

at the beginning but 

as the game went on I was 

really proud of their heart 

and character because that 

was the team we are,” 

Loyola coach John Dwyer 

said. “The last two-thirds 

of the game was the team 

we really are and I’m really 

proud of them.” 

The Ramblers dominated 

in most statistical categories, 

including shots, 

where they out-shot the 

Huskies 35-14. The score 

would have been much 

worse if it wasn’t for the 

play of Naperville North 

goalie Katie Sciabica. 

Sciabica made 13 saves on 

the day, including nine in 

the first half. 

“We just needed to finish 

our shots,” freshman 

Maley Starr said. “We 

were under a lot of pressure 

we just needed to 

place our shots and take a 

deep breath. Once we did 

that, we were good.” 

The Huskies had one 

of the state’s top scorers, 

Lauren Platou, on their 

side. Platou had 94 goals 

coming into the contest. 

The senior added two to 

her total, but it was obvious 

she was getting frustrated 

by the lack of opportunities 

the Loyola defense 

was allowing her. 

That also created trouble 

for Naperville North offensively. 

“She’s a really good 

player,” Dwyer said. “We 

played them a month ago 

so we knew she was going 

to be a threat. We paid a 

little more attention to her 

and made sure we knew 

where she was when they 

had the ball, trying to deny 

her opportunities and we 

did a good job of that.” 

The Ramblers talented 

youth was on display during 

the third-place game.

Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media 

were scored by underclassmen, 

with seniors 

Claire Caffery and Riley 

Dolan having two apiece 

to account for the other 

goals. 

“I think part of the reason 

the underclassmen 

stepped up is because 

throughout the season we 

had starters injured and 

we needed them to step 

up and that gave everyone 

a chance to find their

Loyola beats New Trier, takes first IHSA title 

Neil Milbert 


Following Loyola Academy 

President Patrick Mc- 

Grath’s pre-game mass 

and motivational homily, 

coach Rob Snyder had another 

message for the boys 

on the lacrosse team before 

they took the field to 

play New Trier. 

“Let’s play for the 

championship,” was his 

message. “Let’s not play 

for the rivalry.” 

The Ramblers got the 

message: they quickly 

took control, maintained 

their composure throughout 

the contest and defeated 

archrival New Trier 7-2 

in the state championship 

game at Hinsdale Central 

on Saturday, June 2. 

This was the first lacrosse 

state tournament 

sanctioned by the Illinois 

High School Athletic Association. 

Since the inception of 

the tournament in 1988, 

the sport had been governed 

by the Illinois High 

School Lacrosse Association 

(IHSLA). When the 

Trevians topped Loyola 

9-6 in last year’s last IHS- 

LA title game, it gave them 

12 state championships to 

the Ramblers’ 11. 

Adding to New Trier’s 

feeling of superiority was 

a 5-3 victory in the teams’ 

only regular season meeting 

at Loyola on May 1. 

“We beat them earlier 

and we came in too 

cocky,” lamented junior 

Henry Freedman. “They 

played a lot harder than us. 

Throughout the season we 

were averaging (approximately) 

12 goals and in 

two games against them we 

scored seven goals. Their 

goalie (junior Dominic 

Urukalo) played really well 

Loyola’s Connor Koch spins away from a New Trier defender during the state title game Saturday, June 2, in Hinsdale. Carlos Alvarez/22nd 

Century Media 

and so did their defense.” 

But it was the Ramblers’ 

offense that gave them a 

3-0 first quarter lead that 

proved to be insurmountable. 

Timmy Hackett, the 

junior who’d starred on 

their state championship 

hockey team earlier in the 

school year, instigated the 

surge by scoring with only 

12 seconds elapsed. With 

3:38 elapsed, senior Andrew 

Forsyth, who played 

for last fall’s Class 8A second-place 

football team, 

added the second goal and 

with 1:56 to play in the 

quarter senior Quinn Callahan 

scored the first of his 

three goals. 

Hackett’s second goal 

increased the Loyola lead 

to 4-0 in the second quarter 

before Gavin Randle’s 

goal finally put the Trevians 

on the scoreboard. 

After Callahan got his 

second goal and senior 

Johnny Maday found the 

net for New Trier in the 

third quarter, Branden Tait 

padded Loyola’s lead with 

5:48 to play in the fourth 

quarter and Callahan completed 

his hat trick performance 

with an assist from 

Hackett with 2:55 remaining. 

Meanwhile, Urukalo 

was outstanding in goal, 

making five saves in both 

the third and fourth quarters 

to finish with 14 total. 

“Our goalie was lights 

out unbelievable,” raved 

Callahan. “It was Dominic’s 

best game ever. 

“I think possession was 

the key to the game. When 

they tried to clear, we 

got the ball back. We exploited 

their weaknesses. 

Once we had the lead we 

got comfortable. Out east 

we had played against better 

teams. The state championship 

was our goal 

and we just came out and 

played for the championship.” 

Urukalo agreed with 

Callahan’s assessment. 

“Yes, I would say it was 

my best game,” the Manhattan 

College recruit said. 

“I was locked in. 

“Today we played more 

for us instead of against 

them.” 

In Snyder’s opinion, 

“Dominic showed why 

he was All-State and All- 

American. He was very, 

very, very good.” 

The Loyola coach said 

a priority in the game plan 

was keeping Freedman 

and the Trevians’ two other 

high-scoring junior attackers, 

Henry Scherb and 

Dylan Bruno, from getting 

the ball. 

Scherb was unsuccessful 

in his five scoring opportunities, 

Freedman failed 

in his two opportunities 

and Bruno didn’t have any 

scoring chances. 

“They’re a heavy dodging 

team from up top,” 

Snyder said. “We were 

more concerned with their 

midfielders. We took that 

away and limited their 

shots.” 

From New Trier coach 

Tom Herrala’s perspective: 

“They were aggressive, 

their defense played great 

and their goalie played really 

well, while we made 

mental mistakes.” 

“When we transitioned 

to go into offense, we were 

either throwing the ball 

away or their goalie was 

making a great save and 

we couldn’t contain their 

offense,” was Maday’s 

succinct synopsis. 

The Ramblers ended the 

season with a 22-3 record 

and the Trevians finished 

with a 21-4 composite. 

Other than defeating one 

another their only losses 

came at the hands of outof-state 

opponents.

out three as the 

Ramblers won 

their first sectional 

title in 10 years. 

3. Nicole Kaspi. The

The Loyola Academy 

baseball team is a very difficult 

matchup for any team 

it faces. And it proved that 

in a variety of ways when 

the Ramblers squared off 

with Evanston in the Class 

4A Loyola Sectional Final 

Saturday, June 2, in Glenview. 

Starting pitcher Ben 

Wagner pitched a complete 

game without allowing 

a walk and the offense 

broke out with a big sixrun 

fourth inning. 

The team’s demeanor 

also stays the same no 

matter what situation it 

faces and that may have 

been one of the biggest 

reasons the fourth-seeded 

Ramblers won their first 

sectional title since 2008 

knocking off third-seeded 

Evanston 9-3. 

Loyola advanced to the 

Schaumburg Super-sectional 

where they faced 

Huntley June 4. 

Results of this game 

were not available at time 

of print. 

Evanston struck first 

in the bottom of the third 

inning, going up 2-0 on 

back-to-back RBI singles 

by Adam Geibel and Noah 

Leib. 

But in the fourth, the 

Ramblers (23-9-1) responded 

with a huge inning 

and took control of

the game. Dan Hrvojevic 

(2 RBI) cut the deficit to 

2-1 with an RBI double 

to left field. Jack Moran 

tied things up with an RBI 

single and Loyola took its 

first lead when Trey Torain 

walked with the bases 

loaded. Jake Novak’s tworun 

single increased the 

advantage to 5-2 and the 

Ramblers tacked on another 

run in the inning on 

Matt Raymond’s sacrifice 

fly. 

“Honestly we’re comfortable 

being down in 

a game,” Loyola coach 

Nick Bridich said. “We 

have a good offensive 

club. The quality of our 

at-bats was phenomenal. 

We see a tremendous 

amount of quality arms 

in our conference games. 

Everyone on the team was 

hitting the ball or getting 

on base. We tell them the 

game isn’t about the big 

moments, just moments.” 

“We’re just able to take 

things one pitch at a time,” 

Wagner said. “Whatever 

the score is that doesn’t 

mean anything to us. We 

don’t take anything for 

granted. I was a little nervous 

being down 2-0 but 

when you have an offense 

like ours, it takes a lot of 

pressure off of myself.” 

Evanston had a couple 

of chances to cut into the 

deficit. The visitors loaded 

the bases in the fourth but 

Wagner and the Ramblers’ 

defense held them to one 

run as the Wildkits scored 

on a fielder’s choice out at 

second. Evanston also got 

runners to second and third 

in the fifth but couldn’t 

take advantage. 

“Our defense did a great 

job helping me get out of 

those innings,” Wagner 

said. “Jack made an unbelievable 

play at shortstop 

and after that I felt really 

good and was locked in.” 

Loyola put up three 

more runs in the sixth on 

Jason Vrbancic’s RBI double, 

a passed ball allowing 

Novak to score and an infield 

single by Hrvojevic. 

Overall Wagner did a 

great job, going the distance 

and not giving up 

any walks. All the outs he 

recorded in the first were 

one-pitch outs. And pitching 

a complete game in 

such a huge game meant a 

lot to him. 

“I was happy with my 

slider,” Wagner said. “The 

biggest thing for me was 

not walking anybody. You 

don’t want to give the other 

team any free bases. I was 

able to keep the ball down 

in the zone. During our sixrun 

inning, I actually threw 

about eight to 10 pitches in 

the bullpen which I don’t 

usually do but I wanted to 

avoid tightness and didn’t 

want to take any chances 

during a long inning. I’ve 

gone the distance in my 

last two starts and I really 

wanted to get the last out of 

the game.” 

“This was quite possibly 

the best Ben has pitched 

this year,” Bridich said. 

“He got ahead of batters 

and did a great job with his 

78 mile per hour fastball 

and was effective changing 

speeds. I don’t know if 

anyone epitomizes Loyola 

baseball better than Ben.” 

Loyola 12, Maine West 6 

It took a little over 24 

hours, but Loyola was 

finally able to get its sectional 

semifinal win over 

Maine West. In a game that 

started on May 30 and was 

suspended in the third inning 

with the Ramblers up 

7-2, Loyola came out on 

top 12-6 in Glenview. 

“Our hitters really handled 

themselves well,” 

Loyola coach Nick Bridich 

said. “I’m happy with the 

balance of our lineup.” 

The Ramblers bats came 

out on fire on the 30th, as 

they picked up six runs 

in the bottom of the first. 

After Maine West’s Cory 

Scholler homered in the 

top of the inning, Loyola 

responded with a Trey 

Torian home run to lead 

off the bottom of the inning. 

Two walks and a hit 

by pitch loaded the bases 

for Will Jackson, who responded 

with a two-RBI 

double. Four pitches later, 

Dan Hrvojevic knocked a 

pitch out of the ballpark, 

driving in Jackson and 

Matt Raymond. 

“I went up there with an 

open mind, a clear head,” 

Hrvojevic said. “I was hoping 

fastball but was adjusting 

on an offspeed pitch 

and I just swung. It feel really 

good off the bat.” 

After the Warriors got 

a run back in the second, 

Torian led off the inning 

with a triple, Henry Haracz 

coaxed a walk and it 

looked like Loyola was 

back in business. However, 

a strikeout sandwiched 

by two popouts to the second 

baseman curbed that 

rally. 

“Our offseason program, 

our coach Fred smart has 

been emphasizing workouts, 

even in the season.” 

Hrvojevic explained on 

how the Ramblers’ offense 

has become so good. “He 

(smart) wants us to hit 

high line drives because 

his philosophy is that if 

we hit hard line drives in 

the air, they’re going to get 

down eventually.” 

Jackson added a home 

run of his own in the third 

before a rain and thunder
