Lake Forest City Council 

New city attorney appointed to replace Filippini 

Todd Marver 

Freelance Reporter 

After Victor Filippini, 

the former Lake Forest 

city attorney resigned two 

months ago, the Lake Forest 

City Council has now 

appointed a new city attorney. 

Mayor Rob Lansing 

first read a resolution of 

appreciation for Filippini, 

who resigned in April after 

serving 18 years as the 

city’s attorney. 

The City Council then approved 

Julie Tappendorf of 

Ancel Glink Diamond Bush 

DiCianni and Krafthefer as 

the new city attorney at its 

meeting Monday, June 4. 

The appointment is effective 

immediately and she 

will be present at the next 

City Council meeting on 

June 18. 

“The background of Attorney 

Tappendorf and 

Ancel Glink and related 

material City Council has 

reviewed, reference checks 

provided and reference 

checks pursued independently 

revealed a highly capable, 

respected and thoroughly 

knowledgeable city 

attorney,” Lansing said. 

The process for appointing 

a new city attorney began 

two months ago when 

Filippini resigned with 

the City Council’s legal 

committee comprised of 

attorneys of which Alderman 

Melanie Rummel is a 

member. 

“The first step was to 

have the City Council’s 

legal committee develop a 

request for proposal for city 

attorney legal services,” 

Lansing said. “The legal 

committee is comprised of 

six Lake Forest residents 

who are attorneys and includes 

Alderman Rummel. 

The work of the committee 

is to advise the city attorney 

and city staff on legal 

matters when requested.” 

The city received eight 

proposals and whittled 

that down to three candidates 

to interview. After 

interviewing the final three 

candidates in mid-May, 

Tappendorf was chosen. 

“The request for proposal 

was sent to 13 firms from 

which eight proposals were 

received,” Lansing said. 

“Five firms were eliminated 

for various reasons 

by the committee, leaving 

three strong candidate 

firms. These firms were 

interviewed on May 14 at 

the conclusion of which the 

clear consensus choice was 

Julie Tappendorf.” 

The Gallery Restaurant 

approved to outdoor 

seating 

With summer underway, 

The Gallery Restaurant, 202 

Wisconsin Ave., will have 

outdoor dining on a limited 

basis, as approved by the 

Lake Forest City Council 

on Monday, June 4. Outdoor 

dining on the existing 

outdoor patio is permitted 

to operate only from 5-9 

p.m. Tuesday to Thursday 

and 5-10 p.m. Friday and 

Saturday through Oct. 31, 

weather permitting. 

In future years, the outdoor 

patio will operate 

starting May 1 through 

Oct. 31. A maximum of 30 

restaurant patrons will be 

allowed to occupy the patio 

at one time. Additional 

conditions include that no 

outdoor speakers, amplified 

music or amplified sound is 

permitted, the patio must be 

enclosed by a fence, screening 

along the west side of 

the patio will be enhanced 

to serve as a buffer from 

the neighboring homes and 

sound levels will be periodically 

measured within the 

adjacent neighborhood to 

verify they’re within the acceptable 

range for residential 

properties. 

“It seems to me there is a 

lot of support for this restaurant 

among people in town,” 

Alderman Tim Newman 

said. “These restrictions 

seem reasonable to me.” 

Alderman Jack Reisenberg 

concurred and looks 

forward to the opening of 

outdoor dining at the restaurant. 

“This is an absolute 

home run for the city,” he 

said. 

The board also approved 

the restaurant’s request to 

add a Class A-4 license. The 

restaurant’s current license 

allows for beer and wine to 

be consumed when brought 

in by patrons. The additional 

license will also allow 

for on site packaged sales 

and consumption for beer 

and wine. The retail sale of 

beer and wine in their original 

package will be allowed 

on the following days and 

times: 2-8 p.m. Sunday to 

Thursday and 2-9 p.m. Friday 

and Saturday.

That’s a wrap: 424 Scouts cross stage at graduation 

Alyssa Groh, Editor 

When Senior Class 

President Emilia Field 

took the stage to deliver 

her commencement 

speech during the Lake 

Forest High School graduation 

ceremony Saturday, 

June 9, she spoke about 

the emotional week it has 

been. 

While the senior class 

has been completing final 

projects and preparing for 

their good-byes, Field told 

a story about an encounter 

she had at Forest Park 

Beach last week. 

Last week, a woman 

approached Field and 

told her that her husband 

had received a job in the 

area and she was walking 

around to see if Lake Forest 

would be the best place 

to live after their departure 

from Denmark. Field 

spent 15 minutes talking 

to the woman about all 

things Lake Forest, but the 

woman had one important 

question for her: “How is 

the high school?” 

And as Field was preparing 

for graduation, her 

response hit her with a mix 

of emotions and nostalgia. 

“To me that question was 

easy. Lake Forest is one of 

the best high schools in the 

nation,” Field said. “Within 

the 15-minute conversation, 

I had nothing but 

good things to say. And 

suddenly it dawned on 

me – I had not expressed 

my extreme gratitude for 

this school that has given 

me so much. So, I want 

Graduating senior Lauren Beck (left) shakes hands with Steve Simeck, the

School graduation ceremony Saturday, June 9. Itai Epstein/22nd Century Media 

to take this opportunity to 

thank the many people that 

have had a hand in all our 

success.” 

She began by thanking 

the faculty that has had a 

direct impact in the 424 

graduating seniors academic 

success. 

“As much as we wanted 

to learn, you wanted us to 

understand,” Field said. 

“You pushed us to the 

highest academic standards 

and your desire for 

understanding was infectious. 

We can’t say thank 

you enough for fully preparing 

us to enter the next 

stage of our life. So, on behalf 

of the Class of 2018, 

to all the Lake Forest High 

School teachers, thank 

you.” 

She also thanked parents 

for all of their support 

when it came to academics 

and extra curricular activities. 

Finally, she thanked 

her peers. 

“To my peers, we are 

the Class of 2018. We 

are a class of individuals 

whose camaraderie makes 

me confident,” Field said. 

“We are a class whose 

range of different ideas 

make me a more thought-

Lake Forest Academy graduates focus on global unity 


Lake Forest Academy 

has a strong focus on 

global pluralism according 

to Head of School John 

Strudwick, and diversity is 

prevalent in the Class of 

2018 with 118 graduating 

seniors from 20 different 

countries. 

The 2018 senior class 

came together one last time 

for graduation June 2 in the 

formal garden at Lake Forest 

Academy. 

Looking back on the 

2018 graduating class, 

Strudwick noted the senior 

class’ commitment to 

accepting one another, despite 

their cultural differences. 

“We are a very missiondriven 

school and part of 

that mission is our commitment 

to global pluralism, 

which is really an understanding 

and respect for 

others,” Strudwick said. 

“You can take global (pluralism) 

to not just different 

countries, but different 

backgrounds, different races 

and different religions.” 

During his commencement 

speech, Strudwick 

spoke about the importance 

of listening, noting 

that everyone can improve 

their listening skills. 

“It is important to always 

continue to listen, and listen 

to others and learn from 

others,” Strudwick said. 

“One of the things, generally, 

is perhaps the adults 

are not doing a good job 

of being a role model for 

our young adults in high 

school. Adults around the 

world are not doing a good 

job of listening, we need to 

focus on listening to others 

and respecting their views. 

“I think that what LFA 

students come away from 

their time at [LFA] is the 

respect for others, other 

beliefs, other nationalities 

and the desire to learn more 

about the unfamiliar.” 

During his commencement 

speech, Thomas Filip, 

the senior class president, 

spoke about a phrase his 

former football coach Robin 

Bowkett frequently spoke. 

Filip said Bowkett was 

known for saying “Be the 

uncommon man.” 

Until now, Filip said the 

phrase never really meant 

much to him, but as he prepares 

for a new chapter outside 

of high school, it has a

deeper meaning to him. 

“To be successful, we, 

the alumni of LFA, need to 

be the individuals who take 

what we have been given, 

and the skills we have and 

be the people who are different 

in the crowd,” Filip 

said. “... And if you have 

uncommon character and 

uncommon drive, you can 

make a difference.” 

Filip also noted that life is 

only going to get harder as 

the graduating class faces 

life outside of high school 

and is faced with making

A small, but mighty graduating class at Woodlands 

Class of 2018 to 

be remembered for 

being close-nit 


When Mikayla Swanson, 

a member of the 2018 

graduating class and valedictorian 

at Woodlands 

Academy, gave her speech 

during the commencement 

ceremony Thursday, June 

7, she spoke about the “senior 

tribe,” the name the 

22 graduating seniors gave 

themselves. 

This years graduating 

class was a small one of 

only 22 students, but that 

did not stop the students 

from becoming incredibly 

close and supportive of one 

another and their successes. 

During her commencement 

speech, Swanson 

spoke about how close-nit 

the graduating class was, 

and relayed a few of her favorite 

memories. 

“We have a class catchphrase 

that we celebrate 

every day at lunch,” Swanson 

said. “It goes like this, 

‘How many girls can fit at 

a table? A whole class.’ In 

other words, we do everything 

together and community 

has become one of the 

defining characteristics of 

our class.” 

Head of School Meg 

Steele agreed with Swanson’s 

sentiments and said 

this class stands out from 

the rest due to its small size 

and sense of community. 

“The thing that really 

distinguished them is they 

are a very close-nit class, 

and that is special,” Steele 

said. “They all care about 

each other and they are 

all close friends and they 

are really thoughtful about 

community. As they leave 

Woodlands Academy I 

hope they continue to be 

who they are, and continue 

to care about the communities 

they are going to.” 

Shannon Dey, an English 

teacher at Woodlands 

Academy, also spoke about 

the closeness of the graduating 

class during her commencement 

speech. 

“Today you leave as a 

strong, close-knit group 

of young women,” Dey 

said. “The bond you have 

formed as a class has transformed 

all of you on an individual 

level and provided 

you a foundation for what 

it means to truly be a part 

of something bigger than 

yourself. Although you 

may feel scared, nervous, 

and maybe even hesitant or 

unsure about this next step, 

know that the Woodlands 

community is always behind 

you.” 

Dey also gave the students 

some advice for the 

next steps ahead. 

“As you prepare for the 

beautiful journey ahead, 

I can say with confidence 

that you will continue to 

voice your opinions, to 

speak up even when those 

around you stay silent,” 

Dey said. “You will continue 

to give to those in need, 

and scream out for change. 

You will continue to do 

well, not only academically, 

but be well emotionally, 

physically, and spiritually. 

You will slow down 

when life gets too fast and 

remember that in order to 

take care of others, you 

must take care of yourself. 

In order to love others, you 

must love yourself.” 

Swanson also utilized 

her time by thanking those 

who influences the graduating 

class during their time 

at Woodlands Academy including 

parents, faculty and 

staff. 

“Thank you Woodlands 

Academy faculty and staff 

for helping us develop a 

deep respect for intellectual 

values both inside and 

outside of the classroom,” 

Swanson said. “...Thank 

you for your never ending 

patience and for laughing 

off our mistakes.” 

And finally, Swanson left 

her class with one last note. 

“Class, despite the fact 

that everyone in this room 

already knows, you are 

more amazing than you 

realize,” Swanson said. “I 

hope you know that you 

are not just my sisters, you 

are my heroes. Wherever 

you end up, whatever you 

do, you will always have a 

friend in me and a home in 

the Sacred Heart family.”

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Residents skeptical of 

proposed development at 

former Bess Hardware site 

Glenview might have 

found a new tenant for the 

former Bess Hardware site 

in downtown Glenview. 

But first, there are plenty 

of details to hash out. 

During its Tuesday, June 

5 meeting, the Village 

Board considered selling 

the property to The Drake 

Group, which plans on 

building a 72-unit, mixeduse, 

partial five-story 

apartment development 

with 89 enclosed residential 

parking stalls on the 

0.927-acre parcel at 1850 

Glenview Road, between 

Depot and Pine streets. 

In the end, after more 

than an hour of informational 

presentations and 

debate, as well as mostly 

negative input from about 

a dozen residents, the 

board decided to postpone 

a vote until its next meeting 

on Tuesday, June 19. 

The Village purchased 

the former Bess Hardware 

site, representing 0.666 

acres of the transaction, for 

$2.22 million in early 2017 

after the previous owner 

failed to sell the property 

over a seven-year period 

after the business closed in 

2010. 

At the time, trustees and 

staff hoped that purchasing 

the site would speed 

up the process of finding 

a new, long-term tenant. 

The remaining 0.26 acres 

of land associated with the 

proposed development, located 

just to the west, were 

acquired by the Village in 

a no-cost land swap with 

Metra in late 2017. 

As currently proposed, 

The Drake Group would 

buy the combined property 

for $1.81 million, a net 

loss of $415,000. 

But according to Director 

of Community Development 

Jeff Brady, Glenview 

would recoup that 

amount via the development’s 

property taxes in a 

little more than two years.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

D225 Superintendent 

Riggle to retire 

Glenbrook District 225 

Superintendent Dr. Mike 

Riggle has announced his 

intention to step down 

from his leadership position 

and retire from the 

district during the 2018-19 

school year. 

“I feel privileged to have 

served in this outstanding 

district for the last 20 

years,” Riggle said. “With 

the completion of multiyear 

bargaining agreements 

with the employee unions, 

it is an excellent time for 

the Board of Education to 

seek a highly qualified candidate 

to serve as the next 

superintendent. I will continue 

to manage the important 

business of the district 

until a new superintendent 

is selected and a smooth 

transition is realized.” 

Riggle came to the Glenbrooks 

in July 1998 as the 

newly appointed principal 

of Glenbrook North and 

has served as superintendent 

of the district since 

July 1, 2008. 

“The board wishes to 

thank Dr. Riggle for his 

exemplary 20 years of service 

to the Glenbrook High 

Schools,” Board President 

Skip Shein said.

East Side Train Station opens after renovation 

Submitted by the City of 

Lake Forest 

City officials, the Preservation 

Foundation and 

project supporters gathered 

on June 4 for a ribbon-cutting 

ceremony on 

the east side of the historic 

train station, officially reopening 

the main depot 

building. 

The $3.1 million renovation 

of the station located 

in the City’s historic 

central business district 

was completed in several 

stages. Beginning with an 

Historic Structure Report 

by Harboe Architects in 

2009, the reconstruction 

of the roof was completed 

in 2012. In 2016, the exterior 

of the building was restored, 

and the following 

year restrooms relocated 

and expanded to the south 

end of the building. This 

past week, final touches 

were put on the renovation 

of the main lobby 

made possible through a 

public-private-partnership 

with the City and the 

Preservation Foundation. 

This milestone culminated 

nearly seven years of 

construction and closures

ful person.” 

During her commencement 

speech, Principal Dr. 

Holland noted the graduating 

class has overcome a 

lot of changes within the 

District since their sophomore 

year. Among the 

many changes, she noted a 

new principal, a change in 

the school schedule and attendance 

policy, as well as 

the national and local political 

landscape changing 

in regards to school safety 

and security. 

Through these changes 

Lake Forest City Staff members cut a ribbon during the reopening of the East Lake 

Forest Train Station June 4. Photo Submitted 

at the station. 

Nearly $2.1 million in 

funding for the project 

came from the Illinois 

Transportation Enhancement 

Program (ITEP), a 

federal grant program that 

provides funding for community-based 

projects 

that expand and enhance 

transportation experiences 

within communities. 

Additional funding was 

provided by The City of 

Lake Forest, Metra, the 

DAR and the Lake Forest 

Preservation Foundation. 

“We are grateful to our 

generous members and donors 

who have supported 

this project and to the City 

for partnering with us to preserve 

this great train station. 

This renovation exemplifies 

the Foundation’s mission 

of preservation of the 

historical visual character 

as well as recognizing and 

educating the public about 

the integrity, excellence and 

strong history of architecture 

in Lake Forest,” said 

Jim Opsitnik, president of 

the Lake Forest Preservation 

Foundation. 

Mayor Robert Lansing 

stated the project was yet 

another remarkable community 

effort to work 

in harmony to restore a 

community asset that is 

enjoyed by so many. He 

and their success throughout 

high school, Holland 

said she defines the class 

as resilient, persistent 

and a class with a strong 

voice. 

“What the world does 

not know and will soon 

know, is that the Class of 

2018 is the class of fighters 

with voices of all octaves 

and tones,” Holland said. 

“Even through change, 

adversity and moments 

of success, this class understands 

the importance 

of staying the course and 

forging ahead with resilience 

persistence and using 

your voices.” 

Holland left the graduating 

class with a few words 

of wisdom as they prepare 

for a new chapter in their 

lives. She reminded students 

that who they are 

today is not who they are 

going to be tomorrow, and 

that is okay. 

“This is one benchmark, 

and each day following 

today will serve as an extension 

of the progress and 

growth you have experienced 

during high school 

and in life,” Holland said. 

As Field and her classmates 

prepare for an unfamiliar 

path, Field left her 

class with a few words of 

encouragement and gratitude. 

added, “Today, we celebrate 

the perseverance 

of the community, our 

transportation partners, 

and recognize the Preservation 

Foundation dedicating 

many years to restoring 

the building to its 

original glory.” 

To celebrate the reopening, 

the Lake Forest 

Preservation Foundation 

hosted a Community 

Open House from 1-3 

p.m. on Sunday, June 10, 

at the Station. Tours of the 

newly completed restoration 

and former operational 

tunnel were conducted 

and light refreshments 

were served. 

“We have been given 

the tools and understanding 

to become authentic 

people and to lead lives 

founded in honesty and 

truth,” Field said. “Hopefully 

this is a time when 

we can not only reflect on 

ourselves and our accomplishments, 

but we can 

reflect on all the people 

who have helped shape 

us. While we say goodbye 

to high school and 

all that it has given us, I 

hope that we will move 

forward with gratitude for 

everyone who has helped 

us along the way and who 

will help us into the future.”

Improving Lake Bluff Golf Club is a community effort 

More than 40 

volunteers work to 

improve clubhouse 

Submitted by Lake Bluff Park 

District 

Over the past several months, 

the Lake Bluff Park District and 

the Lake Bluff Community Golf 

Association have been working 

tirelessly to increase engagement 

with the local community and 

make improvements to the golf 

clubhouse in an effort to improve 

the financial performance of the 

golf club itself. While the two 

organizations continue working 

on strategies to be implemented 

over the next few months, several 

efforts have already been 

completed and produced an immediate 

positive impact. 

The Lake Bluff Community 

Golf Association created and 

implemented a plan to refurbish 

worn and outdated areas of the 

clubhouse. Combining funds 

from the Park District and Lake 

Bluff Community Golf Association 

members, along with donations 

from the Sherwin Williams 

Paint Store on Rockland Road 

and carpet from Noland Sales 

of Itasca, carpet in the women’s 

locker room was replaced and 

all the walls and ceilings in the 

bar, locker room, and dining area 

were patched and painted with 

the assistance of community volunteers. 

“While the future of the course 

beyond 2018 is still to be decided 

by the board, we have seen 

the positive impact our community 

and the LBCGA have had 

on our golf course,” said Ron 

Salski, executive director of the 

Lake Bluff Park District. 

The Lake Bluff Community 

Golf Association and Park District 

are working with Friends 

of Lake Bluff Parks, a nonprofit 

entity, on the fundraising efforts. 

“We still have a long way to 

go to raise the $265,000 in order 

to ensure the golf course 

stays open next year and beyond, 

but the community is rallying 

around the cause and we have 

lots of momentum and ideas in 

place to improve the situation,” 

said Colette Asmussen, Lake 

Bluff Community Golf Association 

spokesperson. “Over the 

next few months, our organization 

will be reaching out to local 

business and corporate members 

of the community, as well as individuals 

in Lake Bluff, Lake 

Forest, and the surrounding areas 

for sponsorships and donations 

towards keeping the great 

community asset, as well as running 

several fundraising events.” 

The golf club will be hosting 

several upcoming programs to 

support the course: 

• June 15, Night at the Range: 

Family fun on the driving range 

and putting green, special games 

and programs, Smokin’ T’s food 

truck, and more. 

• June 26, Golf Marathon: 

Golfers take on the challenge to 

golf as many holes as they can 

from sun up to sun down earning 

pledges per hole or flat donations 

with a goal of at least $1,500 per 

golfer. 

• Aug. 10, 50th Anniversary 

Golf Tournament and Party: Details 

to be released soon. 

Donations will be processed 

through the Park District’s 

foundation, Friends of Lake 

Bluff Parks, a nonprofit organization. 

Individuals interested 

in contributing to the Golf 

Club are encouraged to visit 

the Friends of Lake Bluff Parks 

website, FriendsofLBParks.org. 

Donation and pledge forms are 

also available in the pro shop at 

the Golf Club, and at the guest 

services desk in the recreation 

center.

From Page 8 

sions, the Winnetka Village 

Council took the first 

steps toward enhancing the 

downtown area by making 

it more walkable and inviting. 

By a 5-1 vote at the 

Village’s Tuesday, June 

5 meeting, Winnetka 

trustees voted to accept 

the streetscape and signage 

plan prepared by the 

Downtown Master Plan 

Task Force as a guideline. 

“Retail habits are changing,” 

said Jon Talty, the architect 

who is chairman of 

the Downtown Master Planning 

Committee. “We have 

to adapt. Our peers are investing 

in their downtowns 

and experiencing success.” 

Jodi Mariano, principal 

landscape architect for 

Teska Associates, which 

served as a consultant for 

the Task Force, augmented 

Talty’s presentations 

with material presented on 

slides. 

Trustee Scott Myers, 

who was a member of the 

Task Force, pointed out 

that the citizens’ group 

had worked on its plan for 

more than a year, but the 

council has been “investigating 

how do we create 

an asset that enhances 

downtown” since 2006. 

According to Myers, 

the Task Force had three 

priorities: 1.) customers; 

2.) employers; and 3.) the 

community. 

He said all segments of 

the community had input 

and the streetscape and 

signage plan reflected the 

consensus. 

“By changing the environment, 

we’re creating 

a marketing tool,” 

Myers said. “Enhancing 

the downtown is just one 

part. What is the role of 

the Village in activating 

the downtown?”

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette student competes 

on NBC’s ‘Genius Junior’ 

Victoria Wenzke is a 

“Genius Junior.” 

She earned the title following 

an enrichment program 

in fourth grade at 

Wilmette’s Harper School, 

but it took time and work. 

“Mike Byster, creator 

of ‘Brainetics,’ was at 

Harper School for one of 

its enrichment programs,” 

Wenzke said. “He came 

to teach us mental math 

tricks, things that we could 

do to solve math problems 

in our heads.” 

Byster saw that Wenzke 

and some of her friends, 

including her brother, Joseph, 

and sister, Charlotte, 

were having fun doing the 

math tricks. 

He wanted to make a 

video that could be used 

to show what kids can do 

with the math tricks. Byster 

asked Wenzke, her siblings 

and friends to be in it. 

They agreed. 

Byster recorded the video 

and posted it on You- 

Tube. 

Two years later, and as 

a result of that YouTube 

video, Wenzke, a Highcrest 

sixth-grader by then, 

found her way to being a 

participant on NBC television’s, 

“Genius Junior.” 

“Someone from NBC 

saw the video and asked 

us to audition for the show, 

‘Genius Junior,’” Wenzke 

said. “That was May 2016. 

We auditioned from home 

via Skype.” 

NBC’s “Genius Junior” 

consisted of 10 shows 

hosted by Neil Patrick 

Harris. Each of the shows 

had four categories or episodes 

in which Wenzke 

had to compete. 

She was not alone in her 

efforts to compete in these 

episodes.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

Historic theater comes 

crumbling down 

It was the beginning of 

the end of the historic but 

battered Highland Park 

Theater on Monday, June 

11, when construction 

crews were on site to begin 

demolition of the 90-yearold 

theater. 

In May 2016, the Highland 

Park City Council 

approved a multi-purpose 

development over luxury 

condos and a hotel to replace 

the theater. 

Since purchasing the 

property in 2009, the City 

had made several unsuccessful 

attempts to repurpose 

and reenergize the theater, 

until 2016 when The 

Canel Companies was chosen 

to redevelop the property, 

utilizing a teardown. 

The proposed development 

will feature a new, 

two-story building housing 

retail, restaurant, banquet, 

event and garden 

space, while the design is 

considered consistent with 

the character of the building’s 

current facade. 

Woodhouse Tinnuci Architects 

will be the lead 

for the space — their work 

most recognized in the 

award-winning Rosewood 

Beach renovations — and 

will provide some change 

from its current state.

future of the theater, visit

They say a picture is 

worth a thousand words. 

Pictures help capture 

memories and tell stories. 

They are reminders of the 

places we have been, the 

things we have done, the 

people that we have met 

and those we love. Dads 

are one of a kind. They are 

there to help us with home 

improvement projects or 

fixing things, there to help 

us learn a sport or lend 

some advice. 

No matter what dad’s do 

for you, a picture is a great 

way to capture just how 

special they are. 

In honor of Father’s Day 

Sunday, June 17, The Lake 

Forest Leader asked residents 

to submit photos of 

dads in Lake Forest and 

Lake Bluff as part of our 

annual Father’s Day Photo 

Contest. 

This year’s winner — 

and the recipient of a gift

is Ryszard Olejniczak, of 

Lake Forest. 

The winning photo was 

submitted by Olejniczak’s 

daughter, Marta, and it

In her submission describing 

the photo, Marta 

wrote, “This was taken on

whim.” 

The Lake Forest Leader

Submitted by the Kiwanis 

Foundation of Lake Bluff 

& Lake Forest 

In an emergency, seconds 

can mean life or 

death. That is why the 

Kiwanis Foundation of 

Lake Bluff & Lake Forest 

has decided to raise 

the necessary funds to 

provide area elementary 

and high schools in Lake 

Forest, Lake Bluff and 

Knollwood an Automated 

External Defibrillator 

(AED). 

As “Serving the Children” 

is motto for Kiwanis, 

what better way than to 

possibly save a life. Most 

schools already have an 

AED but having another 

unit at a different location 

at the school could 

reduce the response time. 

The schools were thrilled 

to learn of the donation 

which Kiwanis hopes to 

complete by this September. 

The schools that 

would benefit from this 

endeavor would be; Lake 

Forest Elementary School 

District 67, Lake Forest 

High School, Lake Forest 

Academy, Lake Forest 

Country Day, School 

of St. Mary’s, Woodlands 

Academy, Lake Bluff Elementary 

School District 

65, Forest Bluff School 

and Safe Haven. 

With the cost of an AED 

around $1,500, the Foundation 

is in need of the 

community’s support to 

raise more than $22,000. 

Additional funds will be 

raised from the Kiwanis 

Fourth of July Pancake 

Breakfast and Cookout, 

but please consider supporting 

them now by 

making a tax-deductible 

donation to Kiwanis 

Foundation LB/LF, a nonprofit 

organization online 

at KiwanisLBLF.org, or 

mail checks to Kiwanis 

Foundation LB/LF, P.O.

Kings & Convicts 

Brewing Co., located in 

Highwood and owned 

by Lake Forest residents, 

successfully celebrated 

national beer day by raising 

$10,500 for Dr. Stewart 

Goldman’s Research 

Foundation April 7 at 

their Stew’s Brew Release 

Fundraiser. 

All proceeds from the 

sold-out Stew’s Brew beer 

went to Benny’s World in 

support of Dr. Stewart’s 

pediatric brain tumor research 

at Ann & Robert H. 

Lurie Children’s Hospital. 

All money will directly 

fund research for Diffuse 

Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. 

The event was held in 

honor of Kings & Convicts 

co-founder Brendan 

Watters’ son Benny, who 

lost his battle with DIPG 

at age 5. 

Diagnosed right before 

his third birthday, Benny 

fought for 33 months before 

losing his battle with 

DIPG on Sept. 8, 2010. 

In the hospital, Benny 

developed a unique bond 

with his medical specialist, 

Dr. Stewart Goldman. 

He always looked forward 

to seeing Dr. Stew 

and would draw pictures 

of fishing and drinking 

beer together, explained 

his family. 

This inspired Kings & 

Convicts to partner the 

Benny’s World foundation, 

created by Benny’s 

family in 2008, with Benny’s 

beloved Dr. Stew. 

Named after Goldman, 

Stews Brew was developed 

to celebrate Benny 

and raise money to help 

fund research and find a 

cure for pediatric brain 

stem tumors. 

Attendees of the event 

showed their support by 

being amongst the first 

to taste Stew’s Brew. The 

lively atmosphere allowed 

all to show support by enjoying 

food, live music, 

corn hole games and of 

course, Stews Brew.

Lake Forest police donate bikes to help those in need 

Submitted by Woodlands 


Heart 

The Lake Forest Police 

Department was quick 

to respond to Woodlands 


Heart’s call for bicycles 

that can be re-used in ways 

that truly make a difference 

in people’s lives. 

The all-girls college preparatory 

high school began 

a used bike collection 

April 18, which was open 

through April 21. Between 

9 a.m. and noon that day, 

bicycles of any size in repairable 

condition as well 

as gently used kids’ bikes 

were dropped off at the 

Woodlands campus, 760 

E. Westleigh Road in Lake 

Forest. 

Four members of the 

Lake Forest Police Department 

got the community’s 

participation off to 

an early start April 20 by 

dropping off 16 bikes and 

two wheels from its “lostand-found.” 

According 

to Sergeant Kevin Zelk, 

evidence technician/property 

room supervisor, police 

officers recover items 

from places like the train 

stations, shopping areas, 

parks and schools as well 

as at the many special 

events held in Lake Forest 

throughout the year. 

“We keep them for at 

least six months, making 

every attempt to reunite 

them with their owners,” 

he said. “Persons missing 

items are encouraged to 

contact the police department 

or check the Found 

Property section of its 

Some Woodlands Academy students, faculty and staff were on hand to receive a 

donation of 16 bicycles from the Lake Forest Police Department April 20 as part of 

the school’s drive to collect bikes that can be re-used to help needy persons. Photo

website. Items such as bicycles 

not claimed after 

six months often are auctioned 

off or donated to 

worthy causes.” 

Woodlands Academy’s 

current effort is being done 

in conjunction with Working 

Bikes of Chicago, a 

nonprofit organization that 

gives donated bicycles 

new life by redistributing 

them as tools of empowerment 

in local and global 

communities. The bicycles 

collected during this drive 

will be refurbished by 

Working Bikes and then 

donated to its local and international 

partners. 

Locally, Working Bikes 

donates to individuals 

and partner organizations 

in the Chicago area, providing 

transportation to 

people in homeless transition, 

refugee resettlement 

and youth empowerment 

programs. 

The organization notes 

that in developing countries, 

a bicycle can truly 

change the life of an individual. 

In areas plagued 

by poverty, high levels of 

unemployment and lack 

of reliable transportation, 

a bicycle can help provide 

access to jobs, education, 

medical attention and other 

resources.

From the Editor 

Hats off to you, graduates 

Alyssa Groh 


I 

feel like I just blinked 

and the 2017-18 

school year is over. 

Man, did this year fly 

by. 

In this week’s Lake 

Forest Leader, we covered 

all of the local high school 

graduations and each one 

was unique in its own 

way. 

No matter if you attended 

Lake Forest High 

School, Lake Forest 

Academy or Woodlands 

Academy, you have each 

accomplished incredible 

things. 

The unity you have 

shown this year, and 

throughout high school, 

does not go unnoticed. 

You have worked hard 

and overcome obstacles 

and I know, whatever is 

SCHOOL 

From Page 14 

next for you, whether it 

is entering the military, 

going to college or taking 

a gap year, you will all do 

great things. 

While you have just 

closed the door on a chapter 

you are very familiar 

with and are preparing to 

enter a new chapter with a 

lot of unknowns, know the 

best is yet to come. 

You all still have so 

many milestones ahead of 

you and will accomplish 

incredible things in your 

next endeavors. 

Remember as you head 

off to college, every other 

freshman is just as nervous 

as you are. Every freshman 

is leaving their friends, 

families and communities 

behind and moving 

somewhere new and out of 

their comfort zone. Every 

student will be looking to 

make friends and will have 

just as many questions and 

nerves as you do. 

So, be open to making 

new friends, finding 

new interests and getting 

involved in new activities. 

Don’t be afraid to try 

new things where ever 

you are heading. Try out 

team in business plan 

competition 

Marietta College’s Sebastian 

Ziaja, of Lake 

Forest, was a member of 

the two-person team which 

won the final round of the 

College’s 2018 PioBiz, a 

business plan competition. 

Ziaja and his partner 

presented a plan for their 

company Oilfield Basics. 

The three judges selected 

Oilfield Basics as the overall 

winner and awarded 

them $8,000 to help start 

their new venture. 

Ziaja is majoring in petroleum 

engineering.

The following local 

students were named to 

the 2018 Spring Semester 

dean’s list at DePauw 

University. The dean’s list 

recognizes students who 

achieve a semester grade 

point average of 3.5 or 

for a new club, take a 

class that will challenge 

you, apply for a job or 

internship you think you 

don’t have a shot at – you 

may surprise yourself. 

While looking ahead 

to a new and unfamiliar 

chapter may seem intimidating, 

know that everything 

will be OK. 

I remember when I was 

heading to Illinois State 

University, only five students 

from my high school 

had chosen to attend ISU, 

and of those students I 

was not super close with 

any of them. 

I remember feeling so 

scared that I wasn’t going 

to have any of my friends 

with me and was nervous 

it was going to be hard to 

make new friends and find 

my new normal. 

Within hours of my 

arrival at ISU, I knew I 

would be just fine. Every 

single student was so 

welcoming and so excited 

to meet new people. 

And guess what? 

Now that I am a college 

graduate, many of my best 

friends, who will one day 

be in my wedding, I met 

higher.

When times get scary 

or you feel lonely while 

you are away at college, 

remember your roots. 

Remember what you 

learned from attending 

Lake Forest High School, 

Lake Forest Academy 

or Woodlands Academy. 

Remember the friends 

and family you have back 

home and the people who 

had an influence on you 

growing up. 

These people, this town, 

will always be here for 

you no matter what. 

So, take all the things 

you have learned, all the 

memories you have and 

bring them with you on 

your new adventure. But, 

don’t be afraid to make 

new friends and new 

memories. 

Congratulations graduates, 

and good luck!

LF, LB join forces in Law Enforcement Torch Run 

NEIL MILBERT 

Freelance Reporter 

It was an unseasonably 

cool summer morning in 

Lake County on Sunday, 

June 10. It was foggy and 

rain fell intermittently. 

Eleven adults and a boy 

who’d just completed kindergarten 

paid no heed to 

either the weather or the 

hilly and winding terrain 

they encountered on Sheridan 

Road as they traveled 

about 4.1 miles from the 

Lake Bluff/Lake Forest 

border to the Fort Sheridan 

train station on the corner 

of Old Elm Road. 

They were participating 

in the sixth leg of the 

Law Enforcement Torch 

Run for Special Olympics, 

and their mission was to 

support the Illinois Special 

Olympics by raising 

awareness and providing 

funding for athletic competition 

for adults and 

children suffering from 

various disabilities. 

For “about 15-plus 

years” Police Commander 

Rick Anderson has been 

heading the Lake Forest 

team and fittingly he carried 

the torch. 

Other runners were his 

fellow Lake Force Police 

officers Ben Grum, Tim 

Gehring, Matt Signa and 

Barrett Weadick; city employees 

Jamie Nixon and 

Amber Campbell; Eric 

Krueger of the Lake Forest 

Parks and Recreation 

Department; and two Lake 

Bluff sisters home on vacation 

from college, Gabriela 

Gendek of the University 

of Illinois in Champaign/ 

Urbana and Nina Gendek 

of the University of Illinois/Springfield. 

Seated in the stroller that 

Grum was pushing was his 

1-year-old son, Lincoln, 

Participants battle the fog and rain during the run. 

and riding a bicycle near 

the head of the pack for the 

entire route was his 6-yearold 

son, Ryland, the recent 

kindergarten graduate. 

Also traveling by bicycle 

was Police Officer 

Andy Shiu. 

“We all stick together 

and finish together,” said 

Grum, who works as a 

special resource officer 

and detective. “I’ve been 

doing this for six or seven 

years and now my boys are 

doing it with me.” 

The Gendek sisters are 

examples of the effectiveness 

of the awareness aspect 

of the Torch Run. 

“We found out about it 

in the paper, we saw it was 

a good cause and decided 

to do it,” said Gabriela. 

Running the preceding 

leg through Lake Bluff 

to the Lake Forest border 

were Lake Bluff Police 

Officers, Andrew Belanger, 

Lisa Malkov and 

Matt Smizinski, and Greg 

Mendoza from the Highland 

Park Police Department. 

This was the first day of 

the annual relay in Illinois 

and it began in the early 

morning hours. 

According to Commander 

Anderson, the 

starting point was Winthrop 

Harbor on the Illinois 

side of the state line 

with Wisconsin and the 

relay continued southward 

all the way to Chicago. 

It took the Lake Forest 

team about 40 minutes to 

reach the Fort Sheridan 

train station. There the 

torch was passed to another 

team made up mainly of 

law enforcement officers 

from Highwood and Highland 

Park and the run continued. 

A total of 23 legs will be 

run in the state before the 

torch arrives in Normal for 

the opening ceremony of 

the Illinois Special Olympics 

Summer Games on 

June 15.

states that have a Law Enforcement 

Torch Run for 

Special Olympics. 

The Torch Run was born 

in 1981 and its founding 

father was Police Chief 

Richard La Munyon of 

Wichita, Kansas. 

Two years later he presented 

the program to the 

International Association 

of Chiefs of Police (IACP) 

and won the endorsement 

of that organization. With 

the support of the IACP 

the Law Enforcement 

Torch Run has become the 

largest public awareness 

and fund-raising arm of 

the Special Olympics. 

Grum pointed out that 

the run itself is one of several 

Torch Run programs 

the Lake Forest police participate 

in. 

“We do the polar plunges, 

coffee with the cop at 

Dunkin’ Donuts and a variety 

of other things and 

we sell T-shirts and hats,” 

he said. “It involves more 

people than just those of 

us who are with the police 

department. Sometimes 

we will have firemen and 

various city employees 

participating and sometimes 

members of our 

families.”

In Memoriam 

Donald D. Oliver 

Donald D. 

Oliver, 68, of 

Lake Bluff, died May 24. 

He was born in Lansing, 

Mich. on Oct. 26, 1949, to 

Alvin and Jean Oliver. He 

spent his formative years 

in Alexandria, Va. Like his 

three brothers, he attained 

the rank of Eagle Scout in 

Troop 654. At Fort Hunt 

High School, he lettered in 

football and baseball and 

served as senior class president. 

In that capacity, his 

commencement remarks so 

impressed a local Congressman 

that the legislator had 

them read into the Congressional 

Record. Following 

his passion for baseball, 

Oliver went on to play at 

The College of William and 

Mary where he received his 

bachelors degree and was a 

member Sigma Phi Epsilon 

fraternity. Known for his 

sense of humor, classmates 

remember him for somehow 

managing to get his 

birthday listed in the official 

college calendar of events. 

After serving his country 

as an officer in the United 

States Army, Oliver earned 

his master of business administration 

degree from 

the University of Virginia. 

Building a career at Baxter 

Travenol and Cardinal 

Health from 1975 until his 

retirement, he was fortunate 

to meet Irene Mucci, a coworker, 

whom he married in 

1986. Irene was a constant 

support and advocate during 

his long struggle with 

multiple sclerosis and was 

by his side as he completed 

his life’s journey. With the 

exception of four years in 

California, they made their 

home in the Chicago area. 

Capitalizing on his love of 

baseball, he was involved 

for years with the Deerfield 

Youth Baseball Association 

coaching at the Bronco, 

Pony and Colt Travel Team 

levels as well as volunteering 

his time as an umpire in 

the softball program. The 

family wishes to express 

their gratitude to all of the 

wonderful CNAs. He will 

be missed by all who knew 

him. 

He is survived by his 

wife, Irene; father, Alvin 

Oliver; brothers, Dale (Sarah) 

and Richard (Marlo) 

and James (Kim); sisterin-laws, 

Shirley Roubinek 

(Gary), Ginny Minch 

(Jim); 11 nieces and nephews 

and 14 great nieces and 

nephews.

‘Happiness’ found in all forms at Deerfield’s City Barbeque 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

Like the flavors in the 

meat it smokes daily, City 

Barbeque has layers to its 

business. 

The Ohio-based company 

recently brought those 

layers — and flavors — to 

Deerfield as part of a rapid 

Midwest expansion. 

“The daytime population 

here is outstanding,” 

said Clint Umphrey, City 

Barbeque market leader. 

“It is certainly a lunchdriven 

population.” 

The first, and perhaps 

most important, layer to 

City Barbeque’s business 

is the competition-quality 

barbecue it strives to serve 

on a daily basis. 

“Barbecue in itself is 

a unique experience and 

a lot of people have their 

own approach to it,” Umphrey 

said. “Our approach 

to barbecue is to have a 

complete commitment to 

it every day, execute it and 

its challenges.” 

City Barbeque offers a 

variety of meats, all the 

classics: brisket, chicken, 

ribs, turkey and sausage. 

And it’s all served in 

different ways to attract all 

types of barbecue lovers. 

“We chose to highlight the 

best of different regions,” 

Umphrey said. “Rather than 

commit to doing barbecue 

solely from one region or 

another, our brisket and our 

sausage is Texas-style and 

Texas-based.” 

The restaurant’s pulled 

pork is Carolina-style, 

Umphrey said, and the ribs 

are prepared in a Kansas 

City- or St. Louis-style. 

“We have a variety of 

sauces, too, which hopefully 

meets the desires of 

anyone and everyone that 

comes in,” he said. “That, 

from a food standpoint, 

makes us unique.” 

Most barbecue masters 

know that low and slow is 

the way to go, and City Barbeque 

adheres to that credo. 

The restaurant loads 

meat twice daily in its 

three smokers and cooks 

from 16 to 18 hours to get 

ideal flavor and texture. 

For someone who isn’t 

familiar with barbecue, the 

Deerfield location has you 

covered. 

The Motherload 

($59.99) is a mountain of 

food that offers a variety of 

options for six. 

“People love to experience 

and try everything, 

especially when you’re 

new,” Umphrey said about 

the selection. 

The order comes with 

generous portions of brisket, 

pulled pork, turkey,

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Anna Bazell 

Anna Bazell is a recent 

graduate of Lake Forest High 

School and she ran track and 

field for the Scouts. 

How did you start 

running track and 

field? 

I started because I used 

to live in Barrington. In 

fifth grade at our elementary 

school they implemented 

a cross-country 

and track program. It was 

usually before school, so 

I went in before school. I 

just stuck with it and I just 

love it. 

What is your favorite 

event to run? 

I would say the fourby-four, 

because it’s at 

the very end of the meet 

and it’s the most hyped 

up event. Everyone always 

lines up on the back 

stretch and is always there, 

cheering us on. I’ve been 

running with the same exact 

girls on that relay ever 

since I moved here, so it’s 

been a lot of fun. 

What is the most 

challenging part of the 

sport? 

I think the mentality of 

the sport is really hard. 

With running, I feel like 

the only inhibition is yourself. 

When you have a 

bad day, or your thoughts 

are not positive, it’s really 

hard to compete well. 

That’s a big thing. 

Who is the funniest 

person on the team? 

Probably, well she 

wasn’t on the team this 

year, but last year it was 

Lauren Garriques. She 

would tear up grass in 

the middle of the meets 

and then start throwing it 

around. She was start rehearsing 

weird sonnets on 

the bus. 

What is a memorable 

moment from this 

season? 

I really wanted to break 

a minute in the 400, and 

that was kind of something 

that I wanted to do, but 

I’ve never been able to. 

Last year, I didn’t have the 

best season. Mentally, it 

was just really not going to 

so well and I kept getting 

discouraged. This year, I 

ran one minute and I was 

really excited. 

If you were a super 

hero, what super 

power would you 

have? 

I feel like to read minds, 

because that’s always a 

complicated thing. I always 

try and read people 

based on their expressions 

and their mannerisms. I always 

want to know what 

people are thinking, but 

it’s hard so I try my best to 

do that. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

I really want to go to 

Ireland. I really want to 

study abroad. I don’t know 

where yet, maybe Trinity 

College. 

What is one thing you 

want to accomplish off 

your bucket list? 

I really want to go to one 

of the World Cup matches, 

like the finals, wherever 

it’s being held. 

What is one thing you 

can’t live without? 

Probably my little brother, 

that sounds weird. He’s 

15, he’s a freshman at the 

high school. 

If you could have 

dinner with anyone, 

living or dead, who 

would it be? 

I’m going to say John 

Mayer. I’ve been obsessed 

with him since I was little. 

His music is awesome and 

really intricate, so probably 

him.

Going Places 

Durbin not phased by upcoming transition to college ball 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

Competitors in the 

North Suburban Conference 

know all too well 

how difficult it is to contain 

a player like Caleb 

Durbin. 

The now graduated 

Lake Forest High School 

shortstop has been a terror 

for area teams. 

In his senior year alone, 

Durbin stole 23 bases 

(was only caught twice), 

had an on-base percentage 

of .434, amassed 38 hits 

and slugged home runs 

He was fast, aggressive, 

confident and was a nightmare 

for most pitchers. 

Durbin proved time and 

time again just how talented 

he was in all aspects 

of baseball. 

Durbin, a three-sport 

athlete for the Scouts, has 

always had a soft spot for 

baseball. When it came 

time to make his decision 

for college, Durbin let the 

recruiting process guide 

him. 

“The whole recruiting 

process led me to Washington 

University (in St. 

Louis),” Durbin said. “I 

started off the summer, 

going into my senior 

year, just reaching out to 

a bunch of schools I was 

interested in.” 

One of Durbin’s main 

Caleb Durbin slides back to first base after trying to 

steal second. 

concerns was to find a 

college that offered not 

only a competitive baseball 

program, but one that 

also had a great economics 

program. 

Washington University 

in St. Louis fit that bill. 

Claremount McKenna 

College in California was 

also on Durbin’s short list, 

but he liked that Wash U 

was only five hours away 

from home, not half way 

across the country. 

“I didn’t feel too comfortable 

going all the way 

out to California,” he said. 

Missouri, being only 

a long drive from home, 

made Durbin more comfortable 

with the decision. 

The Bears’ program was 

the other deciding factor 

for Durbin. 

“I really like their 

coaching staff there and 

they’re really committed 

to making Wash U a big 

time (Division-III) program 

and that’s what I 

want to play for,” he said. 

Since Wash U heavily 

recruits from the Chicago 

area, Durbin has already 

been contacted, and made 

acquaintances with, a few 

players from the area. 

Henry Singer, a Highland 

Park High School 

alumnus, just completed 

his freshman year with 

the Bears. Durbin, Singer 

and a few other recruits 

from the Chicago area all 

met up for dinner recently, 

which has already help 

ease the transition from

high school to college. 

In terms of the game, 

Durbin isn’t worried about 

how his skills will transition 

to the next level. He 

feels his time in Lake Forest 

has prepared him well 

for the task. 

“We’re in a really tough 

conference,” Durbin said. 

“Baseball wise, the last 

couple years, we’ve produced 

pitchers in our conference 

that have been 

drafted. There are a lot of 

D-I pitchers in our conference 

and I’m really lucky 

to have see that on a regular 

basis going to Lake 

Forest.” 

Locally, one player, a 

former teammate, had a 

profound impacted on 

Durbin’s style of play as a 

young Scout. 

Cal Coughlin, now a DI 

pitcher for Texas Christian 

University, taught an 

impressionable Durbin 

important lessons that he 

still utilizes today. 

“I got a chance to play 

with him when I was a 

sophomore and he was a 

senior,” Durbin said. “I 

really got to see him close 

up and he really influenced 

my game. 

“He taught me how to 

be super competitive, basically.” 

That competitiveness 

and aggressiveness has 

fueled Durbin in all aspects 

of the game, most 

importantly his masterful 

base-running abilities. 

Durbin committed to 

Wash U officially a few 

months ago, and the reality 

of being a D-III athlete 

is slowly setting in for 

Durbin. 

Durbin still has summer 

baseball ahead of him 

and said he will be working 

on his speed, among 

other things, this summer 

to prepare himself for that 

crucial next step. 

“It will definitely be a 

new experience but I’m 

still playing baseball and 

I’m still playing the same 

sport that I’ve been playing 

the last 10-12 years of my 

life,” he said. “That aspect 

won’t change too much.”

I 

want to share a recent 

experience I had with 

you, so settle in for a 

short story time. 

Part of my job as a 

sports editor with 22nd 

Century Media is covering 

local sports, high school 

mostly, which means that 

I’m out at games quite a 

bit. 

About a month ago, I 

covered a game in Lake 

Forest. It was the first 

round of the softball 

regional quarterfinal 

game and the Scouts 

took on Highland Park 

High School at the west 

campus. I was there taking 

photos of the game when, 

out of the corner of my 

eye, I noticed a young 

girl, maybe 8 or 9 years 

old, petting a dog next to 

me. 

Me being the sucker I 

am for cute dogs, I looked 

over. The first thing I 

noticed was that the young 

girl was wearing a San 

Jose Sharks sweatshirt. 

I couldn’t help myself 

and had to ask her if she 

liked hockey. 

She nodded her head 

yes. Then, I asked her 

if she played and her 

response came as a shock 

to me. 

“No, my brother does,” 

she said. “I want to but 

my parents said it’s too 

expensive for me to play 

too.” 

On my 45 minute drive 

home I couldn’t shake that 

response out of my head. 

Every thought imaginable 

was running through my 

head. 

“Why didn’t her parents 

just reuse her brother’s 

equipment for her?” 

“I wonder if they know 

that there are inexpensive 

clinics that she could try?” 

Now, I won’t pretend 

that I know this girl’s family’s 

financial situation, 

but what struck me as sad 

was that she wasn’t even 

given the opportunity, but 

her brother was. 

That didn’t sit right with 

me. 

Years ago, after I started 

playing hockey as an 

adult, I remember asking 

my mom why they never 

signed me up. 

“We asked your brother, 

but we never thought 

you’d be the one to play 

hockey,” my mom said in 

response. 

Thinking back to my 

childhood, I never knew 

women even played hockey 

so I can’t blame my 

mom for that response. 

I did feel for this young 

girl though, and I hope 

that she finds a way to 

convince her parents to let 

her at least try hockey. 

I think it’s so important 

to give these young girls 

at least the opportunity 

to try. 

Thankfully, it seems 

like we’re entering an 

age where, as a society, 

we appreciate and respect 

women who have made a 

career out of being professional 

athletes. 

For too long the professional 

sports market has 

been dominated by men, 

and I’m happy to see 

women gaining recognition 

for the hard work 

they put into their profession. 

I can’t tell you the 

elation I felt watching 

Team USA’s Women’s Ice 

Hockey team take gold in 

the 2018 Winter Olympics 

over Team Canada. 

My teammates and I 

were also up until the 

wee hours of the morning 

cheering the team on, 

watching every minute of 

the game and believing 

that they could do it. 

The country’s celebration 

of those women – 

including appearances on 

various talk shows like 

The Ellen DeGeneres 

Show and The Tonight 

Show with Jimmy Fallon 

– was an important moment 

in women’s professional 

sports history. It 

was inspiring to see those 

women, and their athletic 

accomplishment, celebrated 

nationally. 

I also can’t tell you how 

excited I was to write 

about Hilary Knight and 

her journey to the Olympic 

games and all of the 

hard work that went into 

getting there. 

Their success only supports 

the idea that if you 

support young athletes 

and encourage them, they 

can accomplish anything. 

It’s great to see that play 

out from start to finish. 

As someone who started 

playing hockey as an 

adult, I’m always trying 

to encourage the next 

generation to start hockey 

at a young age. 

I’ve tried to convince 

my 6-year-old niece, to no 

avail, that she should play 

hockey like Auntie Britty, 

but she’s just not interested 

in it yet. 

And that’s fine. At 6 she 

wants to take ballet lessons 

or dance lessons. I’ll 

be at every performance 

supporting her. 

Now, her younger sister, 

who is only 2, might be 

the one to follow in her 

aunt’s footsteps (she’s a 

very fearless and independent 

child) for which I am 

extremely excited for, but 

only time will tell. 

I’ve been the sports 

editor for this paper since 

October and I know 

how many opportunities 

are out there for young 

athletes all over the North 

Shore. 

At the high school 

level there are some very 

talented athletes throughout 

Lake Forest, so I’m 

hoping that tradition 

continues. 

Now, for those that are 

interested in getting their 

daughters into sports, any 

sport, I encourage you to 

take time to talk to them 

about their options. I wish 

I would have known as a 

child that girls, women, 

play hockey. 

I’ve also learned in the 

time I’ve been a journalist 

that there are quite a few 

programs, in every sport, 

geared toward young 

children and getting them 

to try it out. 

I encourage you to 

seek out those programs. 

I know for hockey in 

particular the Chicago 

Blackhawks have quite a 

few Try Hockey clinics 

that they set up all over 

Illinois. 

Lake Forest has a 

myriad of options for 

young athletes to try 

sports through the park 

district and there are even 

private organizations, like 

the Lake Forest Lacrosse 

Association, that offer 

instructional classes. 

Listen Up 

“I’m still playing the same sport that I’ve been 

playing the last 10-12 years of my life.”
