12 | June 21, 2018 | The highland park landmark news hplandmark.com The Landmark wins national feature writing award Staff Report For the sixth straight year, 22nd Century Media is a national award-winner. The National Newspaper Association recognized 22nd Century Media, the parent company of The Highland Park Landmark, with seven awards for editorial excellence in its annual Better Newspaper Contest. The competition, which is judged by third-party media professionals, welcomed 1,405 entries from 115 outlets across 38 states, and the winners will be recognized at an awards breakfast Sept. 29 in Norfolk, Va. “Our journalists work hard to provide unmatched coverage of their communities, and they make us proud every day,” Publisher Joe Coughlin said. “Receiving recognition like this, especially from your peers, is an added bonus.” Two 22nd Century Media newspapers — The New Lenox Patriot and The Tinley Junction — were honored twice, while The Highland Park Landmark, The Orland Park Prairie and Malibu Surfside News picked up one award each. Out of the North Shore, The Highland Park Landmark was named a national champion in the Best Feature Story category for the story, “Highland Park woman helps create Holocaust museum’s Take A Stand Center,” by Xavier Ward. Of Ward’s story, the judge said, “Very interesting topic to feature. I got the who, what, when, where and why out of this story for sure. ... Overall great job!” The Landmark was also awarded by the National Newspaper Association in 2017 for Best Sports Story. Two heartwarming feature stories from The Patriot were recognized. Publisher Joe Coughlin’s personal story, “A wedding for the best man,” about his cousin asking his dying father to be his best man in his final days took second place for Best Feature, while Assistant Editor Amanda Stoll’s story, “Central crowns Fritzie Fritzschall, a Buffalo Grove resident, is one of the Holocaust survivor stories available at the new Take A Stand Center that Xavier Ward wrote about. Photo submitted special education student as homecoming queen,” about Lincoln-Way Central’s special homecoming night took third in the same category. For The Tinley Junction, Managing Editor Bill Jones and freelance journalist Laurie Fanelli combined on a unique, firsthand storytelling venture after Paul McCartney came to town that earned them third place for Best Performing Arts Story. Freelance photographer Bob Klein earned honorable mention for a Tinley Junction photo. The Orland Park Prairie was awarded a Feature Photo award for the second straight year and for the second straight year the photo came from Adam Jomant. Also a national champion, again, is the Malibu Surfside News, which won its third top national prize in the last two years. Over 11 years of competitions, 22nd Century Media publications have earned 175 regional and national awards for editorial excellence, including more than 30 first-place honors. Township High School D113 Board of Education Split board argues over interview policy Erin Yarnall, Editor The Township High School District 113 Board of Education is in the process of searching for a new superintendent and a new board member after the resignation of both Superintendent Chris Dignam and board member David Small in May. The district reached a separation agreement with Dignam, who was under intense scrutiny from D113 educators and parents for alleged poor leadership and questionable initiatives. Small, a supporter of Digman, resigned after the agreement was approved. The board is accepting resumes to fill Small’s seat and had previously announced they will hold interviews in upcoming closed sessions. Some members of the community who spoke at the board’s regular meeting Monday, June 11, expressed displeasure at the announcement that interviews will be held in closed session. “I was hoping that you might reconsider your decision,” said Barbara Sereda, who previously ran for a seat on the board. Sereda ran for the seat vacated by former board member Julie Gordon in November, and she, along with board member Gayle Byck, were interviewed in both closed and open sessions, in what Sereda reffered to as a “hybrid” interview. Tensions rose when some board members suggested again having a “hybrid” interview for applicants to fill Small’s seat. But Board President Elizabeth Garlovsky said it goes against policy to not hold the meetings in closed session, and board member Debra Hymen said she believes the board should focus on adhering to policy rather than appeasing members of the community complaining about a lack of transparency. The policy in question states: “Immediately following a vacancy on the board, the board will publicize it and accept resumes from district residents who are interested in filling the vacancy. After reviewing applications, the board may invite the prospective candidates for personal interviews to be conducted during duly scheduled closed meetings.” The other four members of the board said they would be open to holding the interviews in a hybrid format. “If someone wants to make that motion, go ahead,” Garlovsky said, “but to say that we’re doing it to provide transparency, I think what it’s going to add is we’re going to have to spend more time, we’re going to have to have another meeting to have this all happen in the short period of time that Please see d 113, 17 North Shore businesswomen to be honored at 22CM luncheon Erica Gelman, Editorial Intern The North Shore Women in Business Awards is accepting nominations through July 31 for outstanding women who have undergone significant accomplishments in their careers and who also live or work in the North Shore. Awards will be presented on Sept. 13, at 22nd Century Media’s inaugural North Shore Women in Business awards luncheon, which will honor 13 North Shore women in 13 categories. The event will take place at Pinstripes in Northbrook. Award winners will be recognized both at the event and also in 22nd Century Media publications. The event will feature culture transformation expert Jeanne Malnati as a speaker. Malnati is the CEO and founder of The Culture Group, a company which teaches communication and leadership principles. While 22nd Century Media hosts similar awards events throughout the year, this event arose because the company felt accentuating women’s accomplishments is also important.
