New Trier District 203 School Board 

Campus security updates 

likely for 2018-19 year 

Daniel I. Dorfman 

Freelance Reporter 

New Trier High School 

officials are continuing 

to review security procedures 

with some changes 

planned for this summer 

and additional enhancements 

likely coming later 

this year. 

At the board’s meeting 

on Monday, June 11, 

board members received 

a presentation from Director 

of Student Life Athena 

Arvanitis, who detailed recent 

actions taken by staff 

with the goal of improving 

security at both campuses. 

The District took a look at 

procedures following the 

Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory 

Stoneman Douglas High 

School in Parkland, Fla. 

Arvanitis said the school 

recently hired two security 

consultants, asking them 

to provide an analysis of 

the safety situation. Since 

then, there have been a 

series of training sessions 

with staff and students. 

Over the summer, the 

school plans to upgrade its 

video monitoring system, 

install additional shatterproof 

film throughout the 

District, place window 

shades in selected locations 

and hire four new 

evening security guards 

She added there would 

also be an installation of 

secure vestibules with 

double buzzers at the Winnetka 

campus. 

Other upgrades are 

being discussed for the 

Northfield campus, including 

new check-in 

procedures and additional 

perimeter security. However, 

those may not occur 

“We have made big progress 

in the last three to six months, 

but it would be helpful to have 

it connected to an overarching 

plan.” 

Greg Robitaille — New Trier School Board 

president on hoping to see a new formal campus 

security plan this year 

until the start of the 2018- 

19 school year to allow 

for planning, according to 

school officials. 

Furthermore, Arvanitis 

said staff conducted two 

lockdown drills following 

the Florida shooting. One 

was at both locations and 

the second just in Winnetka. 

“We received positive 

feedback from law enforcement 

and everyone 

on our staff who helped us 

observe and collect data 

from that (drill),” she said. 

Moreover, the New Trier 

Student Alliance hosted 

a student forum, reviewing 

security practices and 

answering questions about 

existing procedures. 

“That was a really nice 

cap to work students for a 

year on some of the changes 

we have made and getting 

feedback from them 

and how things were going 

on a daily basis as they 

went through our building,” 

Arvanitis said. 

The data from all aspects 

of the security review will 

used to identify specific 

areas of focus for security 

planning and facility improvements 

in the future, 

Arvanitis noted. 

School Board President 

Greg Robitaille said he 

would like to see a formal 

plan presented either 

in closed or open session 

down the road. 

“All of this is wonderful 

and it is hard not to support 

it, but it just feels like a series 

of tactics and it needs 

to be connected to an overall 

strategy for security 

management on our campuses,” 

he said. “We have 

made big progress in the 

last three to six months, 

but it would be helpful to 

have it connected to an 

overarching plan.” 

Superintendent Paul 

Sally said that formal plan 

could be delivered either 

in August or September. 

Board member Patrick 

O’Donoghue noted the 

specific of enhanced security 

measures would be 

reached by the board. 

“We will make the final 

decision in this go-round 

in terms of what is enough, 

so you don’t have to worry 

about that part of the responsibility,” 

O’Donoghue 

said. “We will decide as a 

board how far we will go 

with this program.”

No dampening on Winnetka spirits 

Annual Children’s 

Fair a hit despite 

wet weather 

Alexa Burnell 


When Lizzie Kelley, 

co-chair of the Winnetka 

Community Nursery 

School Children’s Fair, 

awoke on the morning of 

June 8 only to see gloomy 

skies and hear rumbles of 

thunder, she immediately 

wondered if Mother Nature 

was going to literally 

rain on her parade. 

But, much to her delight, 

regardless of a short 

burst of downpours, the 

crowds came, the music 

played and a 73-year tradition 

carried on, putting 

a smile on the faces of 

the hundreds of families 

who enjoyed this year’s 

games, rides, foods and 

fun. 

“This fair is a longstanding 

tradition that the 

entire community enjoys, 

so I am so glad that the 

weather wasn’t as bad as 

we originally thought,” 

Kelley said. “This event 

has a special place in my 

heart. I went to Greeley 

School and have attended 

since I was a kid, as has 

my co-chair, Emily Rose. 

It is very special for us to 

be here with our own kids, 

watching all these families 

having such an amazing 

time.” 

As Kelley looked over 

the scene, kids poured 

onto the Winnetka Village 

Green. Toddlers and preschoolers 

enjoyed activities 

like the candy castle, 

bounce houses, face painting 

and go fish.

manned their own booth 

for the second year in a 

row, encouraging youngsters 

to play with naturebased 

items like sand 

and logs, while showing 

slightly older youngsters 

how to make art on an old 

record player. 

“This fair is a great way

and show kids just how 

fun simple materials can 

be,” said co-director Holly 

Bressler. “We are offering 

sensory experimentation 

with a variety of different 

materials, reminding 

all just how educational 

simple play can be.” 

Older children enjoyed 

the games and various opportunities 

to win prizes, 

such as emoji pillows, 

wacky pens, growing dinosaurs 

and mood rings. 

“I really like all the 

games and prizes that I 

have won,” said 9-yearold 

Kate Swain, of Wilmette. 

“There is so much 

to do here; I’m having 

so much fun with my 

friends.” 

Preteens and teens set 

off on their own, hitting 

the swings, strawberry 

twirl, giant slides and a 

new climbing wall, all the 

while filling up on some 

American favorites like 

hot dogs, cotton candy 

and snow cones. 

As the evening sun 

began to set, local dad 

band, Chino Palomino, 

played classic rock tunes, 

as Coldwell Banker, the 

event’s food sponsor, 

worked alongside food 

and beverage organizer 

and Winnetka Community 

Nursery School parent, 

Kristen Bilton. 

“We recently moved 

here from the city and I 

am enjoying my first year, 

watching all these families 

enjoy such a wonderful 

tradition together,” 

Bilton said. “There is 

nothing better than watching 

kids run across the 

Village Green, kicking off 

the summer and enjoying 

games, rides, music, food 

and more. I can see why 

this event has carried on 

for 73 years. It’s magical.”

In Memoriam 

Former township supervisor remembered for big heart 

Neil Milbert 


Paddie Brennen was 

a multi-talented woman 

whose passion was sharing 

her gifts with her fellow 

human beings in all walks 

of life. 

“What a special person 

she was,” said Jeanne 

Rosser, social service administrator 

for New Trier 

Township. “I will always 

be grateful to have known 

her personally and professionally. 

She loved her 

work, her family and her 

community.” 

Her community outreach 

extended from the affluent 

North Shore to the impoverished 

areas of Chicago. 

“Paddie’s generosity of 

spirit led her to graciously 

offer support, encouragement 

or a listening ear to 

anyone in need,” New Trier 

Supervisor Alan Goldberg 

said. “She was a vocal 

champion of resources for 

those living on the margins. 

Paddie worked passionately 

on programs that assisted 

youth, senior citizens 

and community members 

facing developmental challenges.” 

Sentiments similar to 

those expressed by the social 

service administrator 

and the supervisor have 

been repeated time and 

again following the passing 

of the former New Trier 

Township supervisor and 

trustee at age 76 on May 

26 at Evanston Hospital. 

A memorial service will 

be held at 3 p.m. Saturday,

Brennen 

July 21, at Christ Church 

Winnetka. 

The daughter of Charless 

and Harriet Hahn was born 

on Oct. 4, 1941. She graduated 

from New Trier High 

School in 1959, received 

her undergraduate degree 

from Beloit College in 

1963 and received her master 

of arts degree in Latin 

American studies from Tulane 

University in 1967. 

As a young woman, she 

taught briefly in Spain. 

“She also got involved 

in computer technology 

when she was in college,” 

said her former high school 

classmate and longtime 

friend, New Trier Township 

Assessor Jan Churchwell. 

“She became an expert in 

computers when most of 

us knew hardly anything 

about them.” 

In 1970, she married 

Theodore “Ted” Brennen. 

The couple lived in Philadelphia, 

Albion, N.Y. and 

Altadena, Calif. before 

moving back to the North 

Shore and settling in Winnetka. 

“They were living in 

Philadelphia and met 

through a friend,” said the 

couple’s son, Phillip. “I 

think they went on one date 

and my dad told her they 

were going to get married.” 

Following Ted’s death 

in 1993, the widow moved 

back to Wilmette, where 

she had grown up. 

“Paddie and I met in 

high school, where we 

shared a love of signing,” 

Churchwell said. “At the 

time of our 25th reunion, 

we reconnected and became 

friends. In the years 

since, we shared not only 

our enjoyment for classical 

music but countless bridge 

hands, meals, stories about 

our families and laughs. 

Her generous spirit, her big 

heart, her warm smile — 

all these things were the essential 

Paddie.” 

Brennen was a longtime 

active member of Christ 

Church Winnetka. She 

sang in the church choir for 

nearly 50 years and served 

as a member of the church’s 

Benevolence Committee, 

Her involvement in benevolence 

dated back to her 

high-school days at New 

Trier, when she worked at 

the church as a youth group 

volunteer. 

Brennen also volunteered 

for many social service 

agencies, one of which was 

St. Leonard’s Ministries on 

Chicago’s Near West Side. 

She was a board member 

of the ministry, which provides 

housing and support 

services for formerly incarcerated 

individuals returning 

to the community from 

Illinois prisons. 

While Brennen was revered 

for her commitment 

to public service, she also 

made her mark in the public 

sector. 

She worked for 15 years 

as an information technology 

consultant for Analysts 

International Corp., and 

also consulted for Honeywell, 

ATT and McDonald’s. 

In 2009, Brennen was 

elected a New Trier Township 

trustee. After four 

years, she became a New 

Trier Township supervisor 

in 2013 and served until 

2017. 

“As the social services 

administrator, I worked 

with Paddie to administer 

all the social services 

programs that had to be 

reviewed and approved by 

the township supervisor,” 

said Jeanne Rosser, the 

Township’s social services 

administrator. “She always 

approached situations with 

a collaborative spirit and a 

focus on how best to meet 

residents’ needs. She was 

always thinking about how 

our existing programs were 

meeting needs and the potential 

development of programs 

that could be utilized 

in needs that weren’t being 

met. 

“She was a wonderful 

woman, a real blessing and 

one of the best bosses I ever 

had. I learned a tremendous 

amount from her.” 

“Her dedication and enthusiasm 

for New Trier 

Township was clearly evident 

throughout her many 

years of service,” Goldberg 

added. “Paddie can best 

be described as a warm, 

caring individual known 

for selflessness in both her 

professional and personal 

lives. Anyone who had the 

good fortune to know her 

was graced immediately by 

her effervescent smile and 

outgoing persona.” 

“I knew her for the 30 

years I’ve lived in Winnetka 

and she and I crossed 

paths so many times over 

the years,” Winnetka Village 

Council member 

Penny Lanphier said. “She 

was a very compassionate 

and caring person, one of 

those stalwarts who always 

turned out.” 

“When you hear people 

talk about Paddie, they 

may talk about her work 

for Christ Church or her 

many years on the board of 

St. Leonard’s House or her 

years furthering the work 

of New Trier Township but 

beyond all she did for the 

organizations and people 

she cared about she was a 

devoted mother and grandmother,” 

Churchwell added.

Real-estate broker 

performs Heimlich, saves 

life, during open house 

Ellen Stern has hosted 

countless open houses 

over the years. They’ve 

never, until recently, involved 

saving a life. 

Stern, a broker with 

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices 

KoenigRubloff 

Realty Group, was 

speaking with a man during 

an open house in Glenview 

on June 10 when a 

woman walked into the 

condominium, passed 

through a couple rooms 

and suddenly began to 

choke. 

“She started grabbing 

at her throat saying, ‘Call 

9-1-1,’ roughly gasping 

it,” Stern said. “She bent 

over the bannister and 

tried pushing the railing 

into her upper stomach, so 

I handed my phone to the

reported his checkbook 

had also been stolen 

from the unlocked vehicle.

block of Graemere Street 

reported his 2014 Jeep 

and 2010 Dodge parked 

in the driveway were entered 

overnight but that 

nothing was stolen. The 

resident also said both vehicles 

may have been left 

unlocked. 

• Someone from the 2100 

block of Northgate Road 

reported receiving two 

phone calls in which the 

caller accused the complainant 

of being involved 

gentleman and told him to 

call 9-1-1 and I went over 

and [performed the Heimlich 

maneuver]. Because 

she knew what to do, I was 

able to get my arms in the 

right position. She wasn’t 

fighting.” 

After three pumps, Stern 

was able to dislodge a hazelnut 

from the woman’s 

throat. 

The woman, Lynne 

Hanlon, a nurse for the 

past 42 years who currently 

works at Evanston Hospital, 

didn’t resist because 

she knew how to react in 

the situation. 

“I knew what needed to 

be done, but I think this 

is a good example of why 

people should know the 

universal sign of choking 

(putting both hands over 

your throat) and be aware 

of the Heimlich maneuver 

and basic first aid,” Hanlon 

said. “Ellen told me she

“It was like an out-ofbody 

experience,” Stern 

said. “I guess I knew the

from actually doing

me, it wasn’t until the next

could’ve had a very different

just knew I had to help this

Wilmette Rocks! 

offers NT area teens 

chance to be stars 

Alexa Burnell 


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 

industry; 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. 

“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.” 

Winnetka journalist 

awarded 2018 Telly Award 

SUBMITTED BY AUDLANK MEDIA 

Winnetka resident Julie Peterson, 

of Audlank Media, recently was 

awarded a Silver Telly statuette for 

producing the two-part web series 

“My Garbage Man, Ron.” 

The Telly Awards, established in 

1979, is the premier award organization 

honoring video and television 

across all screens. Categories include 

social video, online series, television 

shows and branded content. 

More than 12,000 entries from 

all 50 states and five continents are 

judged by a council comprised of 

industry experts, including major 

networks, advertising agencies and 

production companies. 

“It is exciting to see how perfectly 

this year’s winners capture the 

innovation and energy of the rapidly 

changing video and television 

industry that we rebuilt the Telly 

Awards to recognize,” said Telly 

Awards managing director Sabrina 

Dridje, who was tapped last year to 

lead the revitalization of the awards. 

“They are an exciting culmination 

to an ambitious year-long effort that 

has re-established The Telly Awards 

as a trusted benchmark for the industry.” 

Besides Audlank Media, other 

winners include ESPN, National 

Geographic, HBO and Viacom Velocity. 

Peterson is an Emmy award-winning 

producer and former television 

news reporter who founded nonprofit 

corporation Audlank Media in 2017. 

She said her online video stories aim 

to “educate, inspire and inform opinions” 

around issues and people she 

thinks people need to know more 

about. 

Peterson’s first Garbage Man video 

profiled Winnetka village refuse 

employee Ron Turner and spawned a 

GoFundMe campaign that is sending 

Turner to Germany. The groundswell 

prompted Peterson to produce a second 

video about the Germany vacation 

gift. 

“Ron Turner’s long track record 

Julie Peterson, a Winnetka resident who is an Emmy award-winning 

producer and former TV news reporter, recently won a Telly Award for 

her two-part web series about a Winnetka village refuse worker and a 

GoFundMe campaign, which sent him to Germany. PHOTO SUBMITTED 

of dedicated work and also volunteer 

community service, in the face 

of tough circumstances, makes Ron 

an excellent role model for all of us,” 

Peterson said. “He’s a slam dunk of a 

story subject. This award belongs to 

Ron as much as to Audlank Media. 

“To the Telly Awards judging 

council — a heartfelt thank you for 

this vote of confidence,” Peterson 

said. “This prestigious honor further 

cements my conviction that all 

of us are eager for candid stories 

that inform us as citizens. Everyday 

people, with everyday problems and 

optimistic attitudes, inspire my reporting.”

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 

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 his Tinley 

Junction photo of Mayor 

Jacob Vandenberg celebrating 

his win on election 

night. 

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, who this year was 

recognized for a charming 

photo of two Spider-mans 

facing off at the local library. 

Also a national champion, 

again, is the Malibu 

Surfside News, which won 

its third top national prize 

in the last two years. This 

time, photographer Suzy 

Demeter’s photo from a 

dance exhibition earned top 

honors in the Best Feature 

photo category. 

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.

luncheon 

From Page 16 

Shore and Southwest suburbs 

of Chicago, including 

The Winnetka Current. 

Award winners will be 

recognized both at the 

event and also in 22nd 

Century Media publications. 

“This event is just a 

great opportunity to... 

highlight some of those 

working women who may 

not always be highlighted 

or recognized,” Warthen 

said. “[Looking at] some 

of the nominations that 

we’ve seen come through 

so far, there are a lot of 

great stories, there are a 

lot of great women out in 

the North Shore area, and 

for us, it’s a great opportunity... 

to recognize those 

women [in our community 

newspapers].” 

The function of this 

luncheon is not only to 

present awards; the event 

is also a networking session. 

“Making connections, 

for people, is a wonderful 

thing,” Warthen said. 

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. She is also a 

licensed psychotherapist 

and expert in workplace 

wellness. 

While 22nd Century 

Media hosts similar 

awards events throughout 

the year, including ones 

which target seniors or 

recognize businesses as 

a whole, this event arose 

because the company felt 

accentuating women’s accomplishments 

is also important. 

“This is a great networking 

opportunity to 

meet some of the movers 

and shakers of the north 

shore,” Warthen said. “[It 

is a] positive event for 

women to attend, and we 

are really looking forward 

to it.” 

To nominate someone 

for The North Shore 

Women in Business 

Awards, visit 22ndcentu

SUBMITTED BY THE WINNETKA 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT 36 

A passionate conservationist, 

global adventurer, 

and avid surfer, Winnetka 

Public Schools alumnus 

Jerry Toth (Carleton Washburne 

Class of 1992) is 

making a meaningful difference 

in the world. 

After graduating from 

Cornell University with a 

bachelor’s in economics, 

Toth worked on Wall Street 

but decided to pursue other 

challenges. He channeled 

his interest in environmentalism 

into co-founding 

a nonprofit organization 

called Third Millennium 

Alliance, which established 

the Jama-Coaque 

Reserve in 2007 in order 

to protect 1,400 acres of 

rainforest and cloud forest 

in coastal Ecuador. 

Toth serves as director 

of the organization, which 

has planted more than 

15,000 trees and continues 

to make an impact protecting 

the Pacific Ecuadorian 

Forest and empowering local 

communities to restore 

deforested land. 

“I had always been 

smitten by forests,” he 

said. “I was living in Ecuador 

and I could see the 

forests were disappearing, 

and I wanted to do something 

about it. It wasn’t 

just me. It was a group of 

us, and we did it.” 

Toth is also using his dynamic 

entrepreneurial and 

leadership skills as chief 

strategy officer for To’ak 

Chocolate, a company he 

founded in order to partner 

with local farmers, conservationists 

and multiple 

universities to protect the 

world’s oldest and rarest 

variety of cacao and nurse 

it back from the brink of 

extinction. 

Toth attended Crow Island 

School and fondly 

recalls Pioneer Day, a 

teacher who “made school 

feel like an adventure,” 

and remembers “creativity 

was given free reign” in art 

class. 

“When I arrived in college, 

I felt much more 

prepared than most of the 

other students,” Toth said. 

“The Winnetka Public 

Schools had trained me 

well. Most people in the 

world don’t have the benefit 

of starting off with such 

a strong foundation.” 

Reflecting on his unconventional 

career path, Toth 

said, “The idea of saving 

the whole world seemed 

too daunting a task, so instead 

I focused on saving 

one very special little part 

of it. It’s a dream job.”

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Trier Township trustee 

and supervisor. 

Aside from being 

remembered as a passionate 

North Shore resident, 

the quotes from the story 

that are resonating the 

most with me are the ones 

about her generous spirit, 

passionate approaches, 

selflessness, grace, and big 

heart (let alone big smile). 

In my time working 

here, I have noticed historical 

dates, annual events 

and last names from covering 

everything under the 

Winnetka and Northfield 

sun for the paper. When I 

first began working here, 

Brennen was the Township 

supervisor, and so I 

had seen her name, photo 

and information attached 

to emails about Township 

happenings. 

So, when I heard the 

news a few weeks back 

about Brennen’s passing, I 

was sad to hear that someone 

who’s notes came 

through my inbox had 

died. When it’s someone 

whose job and work you 

are familiar with from 

election and government 

reporting, it resonates. 

But aside from being a 

passionate local leader for 

a variety of causes, I think 

what is most important is 

the fact that Brennen is 

40 vendors to take part in 

Glencoe Sidewalk Sale 

The Glencoe Chamber 

of Commerce kicks off 

North Shore’s sidewalk 

sale season with its annual 

event from June 29-30. 

“Our goal is to be the 

first of the season,” said 

Sally Sprowl, the chamber’s 

executive director. 

“People know to look for 

our sale by the end of June 

each year. Our goal is to 

attract vendors and not 

compete with other towns 

that also have sidewalk 

sales. We don’t want to be 

on the same weekend as 

other North Shore towns, 

so we carved out this opportunity 

to be the first.” 

Glencoe’s sale will run 

9 a.m.-5 p.m. both days on 

Park and Vernon avenues 

in downtown Glencoe. 

The sidewalk sale features 

the village’s own retail 

businesses and additional 

outside vendors. 

In total, Sprowl estimated 

there would be about 

40 different vendors selling 

reduced-price clothing, 

jewelry, artwork, household 

items, decor and more. 

“We do have some organizations 

and businesses 

that bring brochures and 

information to also hand 

out,” she added. 

The weekend sale will 

attract an estimated “hundreds 

upon hundreds” of 

shoppers to downtown 

Glencoe. 

“The downtown area of 

Glencoe to start with is 

very attractive,” Sprowl 

said. “It’s very accessible 

and once you park, you 

can go everywhere. We’ll 

line those two streets (Park 

and Vernon) that crisscross 

each other so it’s 

very easy for people to 

maneuver around and see 

the whole sale. 

“You’ll be easily be able 

to park, shop, get lunch, a 

snack or coffee.”

also remembered for her 

good attitude. Work for 

others can be a tiring job, 

but it was refreshing to 

read Brennen truly found 

her work to be personally

I think we can all learn 

something from Brennen’s 

attitude — the importance 

of helping others, but 

most importantly, helping 

others with a smile and

Second annual Winnetka 

Music Festival wows thousands 

Hilary Anderson 


Walker Country, the Nashville country sister duo of 

Sophie Dawn (left) and Ivy Dean, on Saturday. 

Sixteen-year-old Glenbrook North High School student 

Carly Meyer gave an operatic performance at the 

Winnetka Community House. She was recently named 

best actress by Broadway in Chicago at an Illinois 

musical theater awards competition. 

Despite an intense heatwave, 

more than 16,000 

people flooded the streets 

of downtown Winnetka as 

music filled the air at the 

Winnetka Music Festival 

Friday-Saturday, June 15- 

16. 

The free, boutique festival 

featured 40 of the 

nation’s top emerging musicians, 

representing 28 

touring bands which performed 

on five stages. 

Winnetka’s Val Haller, 

popularly known for her 

Valslist music program, 

organized the festival, 

collaborating with the 

Village of Winnetka, 

the Winnetka-Northfield 

Chamber of Commerce 

and the Winnetka Park 

District. 

From sets from local 

musicians to bands which 

have performed at national 

festivals from coast to 

coast, the Winnetka Music 

Festival had it all — 

an eclectic blend of rock, 

pop, country, electronic 

dance and throwback 

sounds. 

A Thousand Horses, 

which has opened for Jason 

Aldean and Kid Rock, 

performed their contemporary 

country mix on 

Friday night. And, this 

year’s big Saturday performance 

was ZZ Ward, 

a “fedora-rocking, guitar 

shredding” woman who 

has shared the stage with 

performers from Kendrick 

Lamar to Eric Clapton, 

been featured on “The Tonight 

Show” and “Jimmy 

Kimmel Live” and performed 

at Coachella and 

Bonnaroo. 

Performer James Lanman, 

from the San Francisco 

Bay area, performed 

his “neo soul” sounds for 

a Saturday evening set. 

He said his style is rooted 

in Motown. 

“I write my own songs; 

70 percent are original 

and the others are a redo 

like a classic,” said Lanman, 

who sings and plays 

the acoustic guitar. 

Lanman is so serious 

about his music, he sold 

everything he owned and 

put the money into buying 

a van so he could tour the 

U.S. and Canada. 

“Val Haller saw me perform 

in Michigan and told 

me about this festival,” he 

said. “She is the patron 

saint of emerging musicians.”

The Winnetka Park 

District kick-started their 

children’s summer music 

series, Wednesdays in the 

Woods, with The North 

Shore Music Institute’s 

Rachel Thomas, who had 

little ones tapping their 

toes in between nibbles of 

lunch and bright sunshine 

at Hubbard Woods Park on 

June 13. 

Superintendent of Recreation 

John Shea greeted 

guests, happy to see the 

sun had arrived in Winnetka 

just in time to get the 

summer tunes going for 

the preschool and toddler 

crowd. 

“We have a great, captive 

audience here today, and 

this is one of the many ways 

we at the Park District provide 

family-friendly events 

throughout the summer 

and all year long,” Shea 

said. “We have a nice relationship 

with [The North 

Shore Music Institute] as 

they teach classes through 

the Park District. Children 

really enjoy seeing their 

teacher out in the community, 

spreading the music, 

while we continue to support 

this partnership.” 

As Thomas sang and 

played piano, little ones 

danced around, many in 

swimsuits, taking a break 

from the splash pad to get 

lost in Thomas’ imaginative 

lyrics. At many points 

during the performance, 

Thomas jumped in the mix, 

dancing with children and 

handing them shakers, tambourines 

and other musical 

instruments, befriending 

even the shyest of children.

North Shore Music Institute, demonstrates simple 

instruments to local children June 13 at Hubbard 

Woods Park as a part of the Winnetka Park District’s 

children’s summer music series, Wednesdays in the 

Woods. PHOTOS BY ALEXA BURNELL/22ND CENTURY MEDIA 

A crowd of children dance and sing along to Thomas’ 

music. 

Francine Conway, 

of Wilmette, attended 

with her 4-year-old son, 

Frankie, loving the chance 

to enjoy the great outdoors 

while listening to music. 

“Frankie just loves music, 

so any chance we 

have to attend a concert 

outdoors on a lovely day 

is one we will certainly 

take,” she said. “I really 

like how interactive the 

instructor is; the venue is 

a wonderful spot to hold a 

children’s concert.” 

As the concert progressed, 

it didn’t take long 

for parents and caregivers 

to begin dancing with their 

children, happy to get lost 

in imagination, or sing 

classic children’s songs. 

Agnes Whitear, of Winnetka, 

attended with her 

children, Ada and William, 

snuggling them on her lap 

and taking their pictures 

while they danced along to 

Thomas’ fun songs. 

The North Shore Music 

Institute will provide children’s 

entertainment again 

on July 11. Children’s concerts 

begin at 11 a.m., and 

picnicking and swimsuits 

are encouraged. For a full 

line-up of Hubbard Woods 

concerts, visit winpark.

Clucker’s Chicken idea hatched in Mexico 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

Every restaurateur has 

his or her own inspiration. 

For Reed Merdinger, 

founder of Clucker’s Charcoal 

Chicken, it was a trip 

to Mexico. 

“In Mexico City, I saw 

this concept that was unbelievable,” 

said Merdinger, 

a New Trier graduate 

and resident of Highland 

Park. “It was a restaurant 

with chickens on these 

open grills with charcoal. 

There’s a guy standing behind 

there with a cleaver, 

standing behind the grill 

and just cutting them up, 

into a line where people 

could get them. 

“I came back to Chicago, 

I was then working for 

Don Roth, and said to Don 

Roth, ‘I got an idea to open 

up a chicken restaurant.’ 

He said, ‘I’m 80 years 

old and I’m not looking 

to open a new restaurant.’ 

So, my wife and I went 

around, I found the equipment, 

and in 1985, we 

opened the first Clucker’s 

on Clark Street.” 

After opening in Chicago 

and operating for 

nearly 13 years, the couple 

became tired of managing 

their own day-to-day 

business and Merdinger 

went to work for Levy 

Restaurants, running all of 

the company’s restaurants 

throughout the country. 

After 13 years of working 

with Levy, he suffered 

an injury that left him paralyzed 

in a wheelchair. According 

to Merdinger, in 

1998, he went to sleep one 

night and woke up paralyzed. 

He decided to work 

on his health and moved 

to Florida to work at The 

Miami Project, a hospital 

that focuses on spinal cord 

research. He came back in 

a walker. 

The half Clucker ($10.29) comes with rotisserie chicken and a choice of sides at 

Clucker’s Charcoal Chicken. Photos by Kelly Page/22nd Century Media 

The chicken enchiladas ($10.99) are stuffed with rotisserie chicken and topped with 

cheese, avocado and salsa verde. 

Fast forward five years, 

Merdinger made this return 

to the restaurant 

business. He looked for a 

space, and in 2008, Clucker’s 

in Highwood opened. 

“It was amazing how 

many people remembered 

Clucker’s from when it 

originally opened,” he 

said. 

An amazing fact about 

the menu is it’s essentially 

the same as it was when 

the restaurant originally 

opened in 1985. And, all 

of the food is made from 

scratch. 

“There’s a Jewish and 

Mexican flavor here,” the 

owner said. “The Jewish 

influence is partly in the 

chicken noodle soup. The 

brick chicken has a bit of 

the Mexican flavor to it, 

with a little bit of lemon 

to it. Our enchiladas are 

that way, our tacos are that 

way, our salsas are that 

way. 

“I picked the food I 

liked to eat.” 

When 22nd Century 

Media editors visited the 

restaurant, across the street 

from Fort Sheridan, they 

were treated to large portions 

of many of the more 

popular items on the menu. 

We started with the 2350 

salad ($10.99), named after 

the original restaurant’s 

address on Clark Street in 

Chicago. 

The 2350 salad, one of 

Clucker’s mild chicken wings (10 for $8.79) come with 

celery and homemade ranch dressing. 

Clucker’s Charcoal 

Chicken 

760 Sheridan Road,

11 a.m.-9 p.m. 

Monday-Saturday 

11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday 

the numerous gluten-free 

menu options, featured 

grilled chicken, bacon, 

tomato, chopped egg, 

avocado, scallions, Swiss 

cheese, mixed greens and 

the restaurant’s famous 

sweet poppy seed dressing. 

One of the more popular 

dishes is the wings. 

According to Merdinger, 

on Super Bowl Sunday, 

Clucker’s sold more than 

7,500. 

We received 10 wings 

($8.79) dipped in mild 

sauce and served with 

celery sticks and homemade 

ranch dressing. 

Wings are also sold in 

orders of 20 ($16.99), 30 

($24.99), 50 ($39.99) and 

100 ($79.799). Additional 

sauces include barbecue, 

plain, hot or The Coop’s 

on Fire sauce. 

A third item we had was 

the Cajun crispy chicken 

sandwich ($9.99), one of 

the few, if not the, fried 

items on the menu. The 

sandwich is a pan-fried 

Cajun chicken breast 

with remoulade sauce and 

topped with your choice of 

cheese. 

The sandwich offered 

a perfect blend of cheese 

and chicken, with neither 

item overpowering the 

other. We also had the 

fries as our side. The fries 

were crispy, but not overdone. 

The chicken enchiladas 

($10.99) ended up being 

one of our favorite dishes. 

Packed with flavor, the 

dish had three corn tortillas 

stuffed with rotisserie 

chicken, topped with 

cheese, avocado and salsa 

verde. The dish is also 

served with red beans and 

rice. 

Last, we had the half 

Clucker rotisserie chicken 

($10.29) with potatoes 

and corn bread. The bird 

is marinated in a vibrant 

blend of natural fruit juices 

and zesty herbs, then slowly 

cooked to golden-brown 

perfection over live charcoal 

fire. All birds come 

with coleslaw, tortillas, 

Bathe Your Bird sauce and 

a side. Along with the half 

Clucker, a quarter Clucker 

and half brick are also 

available. 

The restaurant, currently 

located at 760 Sheridan 

Road in Highwood, 

will be relocating to 405 

Sheridan Road sometime 

in July.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Charlotte Melgard 

The recent New Trier 

graduate will row at the 

University of North Carolina 

in the fall 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a race? 

Before every race, I’m 

always the first seat, so before 

every race I make sure 

to grab or shake the girl’s 

hand that’s behind me. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

My entire family is lefthanded. 

What’s one thing on 

your bucket list? 

I really wanna go to 

New Zealand. My dad 

played rugby there and I’d 

like to go see it. 

What’s the best part 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

The community of people. 

The amount of friends 

and support, it’s amazing. 

I’ve made so many friends. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve gotten? 

Treat others the way 

you want to be treated. My 

mom always says that. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

Rugby. No girls really 

play, but my dad played 

that growing up and it 

looks like so much fun. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

New Trier? 

This year, the graduation 

party. Being with 

all my friends, my whole 

grade. 

If you could have one 

super power, what 

would it be and why? 

Being invisible. 

What is the hardest 

part about your sport? 

The work outs. Rowing 

is pretty much conditioning 

all year. It’s hard to 

stick with it, especially 

since you don’t get to practice 

outside until April. It’s 

hard to stay motivated, but 

when you get out in the 

water, it’s a lot of fun. 

Do you have a 

favorite superhero? 

Wonder Woman. 

Interview by Sports Editor

From Page 46 

for us,’” he said. “They 

know we won last year, 

they know we went to the 

Elite Eight, they know 

who we are. And, so we 

kind of just changed that 

mindset that, ‘Oh, hey, 

we’re not the underdogs, 

sometimes. How do we 

approach these matches 

now that we’re supposed 

to win in our mind?’” 

In 2019, the Stars return 

12 players from this year’s 

roster and will be looking 

to end the Springfield College 

dynasty. Springfield 

has played in all seven of 

the NCAA Division III 

national title games, winning 

five, including the 

last two. 

But to not only knock 

off the Pride, but also stay 

toward the top of Division-III 

teams, will be no 

easy task. That is something 

the young coach 

fully realizes. 

“Every year there’s going 

to be more and more 

competition and more 

and more programs,” the 

coach said. “So, yeah, going 

into that this summer, 

this is going to be my No. 

1 goal, is to figure out, alright 

how do we progress 

from this. ‘Cause we lost 

four tremendous seniors 

from this team. 

“I have to get these guys 

to understand the return 

is like, ‘OK, hey, this is 

great what we did, but it’s 

not just going to happen 

again next year, because 

it happened once.’ And I 

think trying to get them 

to understand a little bit 

and then getting the freshman 

that are coming in 

onboard is going to be just 

a really fun task for us. 

But I gotta kind of impress 

on them how important 

it is for them to physically 

and mentally be 

prepared to take that next 

step.” 

Whether that next step 

is a national championship, 

however, will be 

something everyone will 

be watching for.

Youth Sports 

Local youth takes part in flag football tournament 

SUBMITTED BY NORTHSHORE 

TREVIANS YOUTH FOOTBALL 

Hundreds of students, 

parents and family members 

gathered for an enjoyable 

day of youth football 

as the St. Francis Xavier 

and Crow Island Elementary 

Schools walked away 

as champions of the first 

annual Northshore Trevians 

Youth Flag Football 

Tournament, held on June 

3 at the Skokie Playfields 

in Winnetka. 

Ten schools and more 

than 100 students participated 

across two grade 

divisions during the oneday 

tournament, which 

provided local elementary 

schools the opportunity 

to compete against each 

other to claim the title of 

best flag football team on 

the North Shore. 

The second-grade division 

was hotly contested 

with three schools — St. 

Francis, Wilmette’s McKenzie 

Elementary and 

Glenview’s Avoca Elementary 

— all finishing 

round-robin play with an 

identical 2-1 record. St. 

Francis won the tiebreaker 

against the other two 

schools by giving up the 

fewest average points allowed. 

In the third-grade division, 

Crow Island (3- 

0) defeated Northfield’s 

Middlefork Primary 

School (2-1) 16-6 to win 

the championship game 

and take home the winner’s 

trophy. 

The flag tournament 

was organized by the 

Northshore Trevians 

Youth Football Organization, 

which provides 

a competitive fall tackle 

football program for players 

from second through 

eighth grade, and a new 

fall flag program that will 

serve participants in kindergarten 

through sixth 

Students play in the first Northshore Trevians Youth 

Flag Football Tournament on June 3 at the Skokie 

Playfields in Winnetka. PHOTO SUBMITTED 

grade. 

“This tournament gives 

our community the opportunity 

to get together 

and enjoy watching our 

kids play a sport that they 

really love,” said Stacy 

Fitzgerald, president of 

Northshore Trevians. “We 

were delighted to welcome 

hundreds of players 

and parents to the event 

today. The games were 

competitive, and the kids 

had a great time. We hope 

to see many of these players 

participating in our 

fall programs, and we are 

already looking forward 

to hosting this tournament 

again next year.”

Loyola grad leads Dominican to volleyball Final Four 


Sports Editor 

For many years, East 

Coast schools dominated 

NCAA Division III men’s 

volleyball. 

In fact, of this year’s 97 

D-III teams, 77 are on the 

East Coast. 

That may be about to 

change, however, and 

it’s all thanks to a Loyola 

Academy graduate. Dan 

Pawlikowski, a 1996 

Loyola graduate, recently 

finished his first season 

as head coach of the Dominican 

University men’s 

volleyball team, leading 

the squad to its best finish 

in the program’s fiveyear 

history — the Stars 

made it to the Final Four 

of the NCAA Tournament, 

dropping a five-set heartbreaker 

in the semifinals 

to Stevens Institute. 

“Making it this far 

shows that, one, there’s a 

lot of great talent here in 

Illinois, in the Midwest, 

and it shows that a lot of 

hard work was put into 

getting this thing going in 

the right direction,” Pawlikowski 

said. 

Dominican made it to 

the Elite Eight last season, 

so Pawlikowski knew he 

stepped into a situation 

where he would have a talented 

team with the potential 

of making a deep run 

into the playoffs. 

“I knew we had a really 

good team and a lot of the 

guys had the goal of trying 

to win the national championship,” 

he said. “So 

I knew that their minds 

were in the correct spot. 

I knew we would have a 

good program, but you 

never know. I mean, we 

lost an All-American from 

the year before, so replacing 

that is always a critical 

component coupled with 

a new head coach and 

you know, the transition. 

It very easily could have 

not worked out as well but 

it ended up that the guys 

really kept working at it 

all year long and we just 

kept getting better each 

week, so it turned out to 

be kind of a great surprise 

for us.” 

While the head coaching 

opportunity was Pawlikowski’s 

first chance to 

run his own program, he’s 

been around the college 

and high-school game for 

a long time. He got his 

start at Loyola University 

in 2004, working on 

the men’s staff for three 

years, and stops at North 

Park University, Northern 

Illinois University and 

University of Wisconsin- 

Madison followed. His 

most recent coaching stint 

was on his wife’s staff at 

Stony Brook University, 

where he was an assistant 

women’s volleyball coach 

and later associate head 

coach from 2013-2016. 

The Evanston native 

took what he learned from 

all of his previous stops to 

help him be successful at 

the helm of the Dominican 

program. Even with that, 

however, he knew that he 

didn’t want to change too 

much of what had worked 

at Dominican, especially 

since the Stars made it to 

the Elite Eight in only its 

fourth year of existence. 

“I don’t know if it was a 

change in what I was doing 

per se to what the previous 

staff was doing, but

now teams are gunning

TEAMS OF THE SPRING 

1. NSCDS girls soccer 

(above). Raiders 

made school 

history this season 

by finishing second 

overall in the state 

tournament. The 

team, which had 

never made it 

past the sectional 

semifinal, lost 

to Quincy Notre 

Dame in the final. 

2. New Trier boys 

volleyball. The 

Trevians won 

their fifth straight 

sectional title and 

brought home their 

second trophy 

in three years, 

finishing fourth 

overall. 

3. Loyola Academy 

softball. Loyola 

had some firsts 

for coach Michelle 

Farrell-Fink. The 

squad won 20 

games for the first 

time since it won 

the state title in 

2009 and also 

made it to the 

regional final for 

the first time since 

2013. 


Sports Editor 

The 2017-2018 

school year was a 

great one for our 

local schools. Loyola 

Academy, New Trier, 

North Shore Country Day 

School and Regina Dominican 

all had successful 

sports years. We saw state 

championships, school 

records being set, teams 

pulling major upsets and 

even some heartbreak. 

I know that as a sports 

editor, I had a great time 

covering these events and 

I can only imagine what it 

was like for those directly 

involved to be feeling. At 

the end of every calendar 

year, we go through the 

top 10 stories of the year. 

This editorial isn’t that. It’s 

about recognizing some 

highlights throughout the 

entire school year. 

• North Shore Country 

Day wins first state title in 

a girls sport. The Raiders 

had a great tennis team all 

season, but I don’t know if 

even they saw themselves 

winning the state title. It 

was a mixture of great 

young talent, good coaching 

and the belief that they 

could go as far as they did. 

After finishing three points 

away from a sectional title, 

the Raiders qualified two 

entries into the singles 

bracket and one into the 

doubles. The team’s top 

singles player, freshman 

Claudia Miller, took third 

at the tournament, while 

the other entries went 

deep into the consolation 

bracket. What’s great 

for this team is it returns 

Miller and the statequalifying 

doubles team of 

Alex Arenson and Caroline 

Lommer next season. 

• North Shore Country 

Day field hockey’s secondplace 

finish. The fall was 

a great season for Raider 

athletics, as not only did 

the tennis team do great 

things, the field hockey 

team also achieved a couple 

firsts. Midway through 

the season, NSCDS beat 

New Trier for the first 

time, in any team sport, 

when its field hockey team 

beat the Trevians 1-0 on 

a Friday afternoon. The 

Raiders then followed that 

up with a run to the state 

title game, where they’d 

unfortunately lose to Lake 

Forest, but still achieve the 

highest finish in program 

history. 

• New Trier girls volleyball 

falls one game 

short of state. The Trevians 

girls volleyball team, led 

by a host of junior starters, 

had its most successful 

season since 2013 when it 

took third in the state. The 

Trevians took care of their 

sectional before dropping 

its super-sectional match 

to Crystal Lake Central, 

who would finish third in 

the state. New Trier returns 

almost its entire lineup, so 

it wouldn’t be shocking to 

see it make another deep 

run. 

• Loyola football plays 

for state title again. The 

Ramblers bounced back 

from an opening-week 

loss to play in their third 

consecutive state final and 

fourth in five years. The 

team would lose a close 

contest to Lincoln-Way 

East, but the fact it made 

it to the title game with 

such consistency is really 

starting to become unparalleled. 

Loyola, like many of 

the previously mentioned 

schools, brings back a 

good number of returnees. 

• New Trier boys basketball 

completes miraculous 

comeback. Down more 

than 20 points in the fourth 

quarter of its sectional 

semifinal game, the team 

came back to beat Niles 

North in overtime, sending 

it to the sectional final 

against Evanston. The Trevians 

fell to the Wildkits, 

who would finish third in 

state, in the title game, but 

the comeback will be one 

remembered by many at 

North Shore Country Day School tennis players (left 

to right) Gabbie Kaplinsky, Alex Arenson, Cara Savin, 

Claudia Miller and Edith Edwards-Mizel hold the trophy 

after winning the IHSA Class 1A state title Oct. 21 in 

Buffalo Grove. Michael Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media 

the school. 

• Loyola boys hockey 

wins state title. Loyola 

Gold won its first state title 

since 1996 by defeating 

Stevenson 4-2 at the United 

Center. The win marked 

the most successful season 

Gold has had in a while, 

giving the squad its third 

state title and marked the 

first state-title game appearance 

since 2010. 

• Girls soccer standouts. 

Both North Shore and New 

Trier made it to the state title 

game in girls soccer this 

season, something that had 

never happened before. In 

fact, while the Trevians 

were playing in their fifth 

straight title game, North 

Shore hadn’t made ever 

made it past the sectional 

semifinal. Unfortunately 

both teams would fall in 

the title game, but both 

have a lot to look forward 

to. The Raiders, especially, 

as they bring back pretty 

much their entire roster. 

• Lacrosse’s recognition. 

Girls and boys lacrosse 

made its debut as official 

IHSA sports this season 

and it’s not really shocking 

the North Shore was 

well represented. Loyola 

defeated New Trier in boys 

lacrosse for the title, while 

New Trier’s girls took 

second and Loyola’s girls 

third. Lacrosse has always 

been a big sport on the 

North Shore, so it won’t be 

a shock to see the teams at 

state again next season. 

• Baseball turnaround. 

Loyola’s baseball team 

won its first sectional title 

in 10 years and did so behind 

a nice combination of 

good pitching and hitting. 

Despite graduating many 

players off to play college 

ball, Loyola brings back 

a good nucleus and had 

success at its lower levels 

as well. 

Those were just some of 

the athletic highlights this 

year. I am looking forward 

to many more next school 

year.
