City manager announces retirement 

after 27 years with Lake Forest 

Submitted Content 

In Executive Session 

following Lake Forest 

City Council meeting 

Monday, July 2, Lake 

Forest City Manager Bob 

Kiely notified the City 

Council of his intent to 

retire, effective Jan. 30, 

2019. 

“After close to three decades 

of putting my community 

first, it is now time 

I shift my priorities and 

put my family first,” Kiely 

told the City Council. 

“The City is in a strong financial 

position and has a 

world-class staff, an ideal 

situation to be in when 

you are searching for a 

new city manager.” 

Kiely was appointed 

city manager in November 

of 1990 and is the eighth 

and longest serving city 

manager in Lake Forest’s 

history. During Kiely’s 27 

years with Lake Forest, 

he has worked with nine 

mayors and more than 50 

aldermen and women. 

“I have had the privilege 

of working with Bob 

for many years… first as 

an Alderman, and now 

as Mayor,” said Mayor 

Rob Lansing. “Bob is the 

very definition of the City 

Council-City Manager 

form of municipal government, 

having provided 

outstanding leadership 

and management for city 

staff, and high-quality 

support for hundreds of 

civic-minded volunteers 

who have served on city 

boards, commissions, and 

City Council. 

“His accomplishments 

are many, in guiding 

Lake Forest to be one of 

the most fiscally-sound, 

well-planned, and welloperated 

communities in 

the United States. These 

talents and Bob’s cheerful, 

objective manner will 

be missed, along with his 

encyclopedic knowledge 

of the Lake Forest community. 

On behalf of the 

citizens of Lake Forest, I 

thank Bob for his excellent 

service, and wish him 

well in retirement.” 

Kiely has helped guide 

many enhancements to the 

community including: 

• Lake Forest becoming a 

Home Rule community in 

2004 

• Renovating City Hall, 

Dickinson Hall, Stirling 

Hall, Elawa Farms, the 

Deerpath Golf Course, 

the Recreation Center and 

Forest Park 

• Purchasing and developing 

Townline Park on 

Route 60 

• Constructing a new 

LEED certified Municipal 

Services Center and the 

sale and redevelopment 

of the former Municipal 

Services Center property 

known as Kelmscott Park 

• Stabilizing and revitalizing 

the business operations 

at Gorton Community 

Center 

• Structuring countless intergovernmental 

cooperation 

agreements and operational 

efficiencies 

• Maintaining the City’s 

AAA bond rating and the 

lowest tax rate in Lake 

County while continuing 

to provide exemplary City 

services 

• Centralizing police and 

fire dispatch 

• Expanding/Rehabilitating 

the lakefront Water 

Treatment Plant 

• Redeveloping the Grove 

Cultural Campus 

• Establishing the Lake 

Bob Kiely, the Lake Forest 

city manager, announced 

his retirement on July 

2. His retirement will be 

effective Jan. 30, 2019.

• Improving the Western

• Developing Settler’s 

Square 

• BMW Championships in 

2013, 2015 and 2017 

• Establishing the “Welcome 

Home” marketing 

campaign for The City of 

Lake Forest 

Kiely indicated that he 

made his announcement 

at this time to ensure the 

City Council has sufficient 

opportunity to select 

a quality replacement. 

This timeline will permit 

Kiely to initiate the Comprehensive 

Plan updating 

process, and start work on 

the Fiscal Year 2020 City 

annual budget, but leave 

the finalization to his successor. 

The City Council will 

discuss the engagement of 

a search firm and the timeline 

for selecting its next 

City Manager at its Monday, 

July 16 meeting.

Forest Park Beach bluff fails after record rainfall 

60-foot wide 

mudslide closes 

north beach 

access road 

Alyssa Groh, Editor 

An unusual call came 

into the Lake Forest Police 

Department and the 

Lake Forest Public Works 

Department around 5 p.m. 

on June 27, reporting a 

large tree had fallen down 

across the north beach access 

road in Lake Forest. 

When Mike Thomas, 

the Public Works Director, 

arrived on the scene,

there is only one way he 

could describe what he 

saw. 

“Picture a landslide out 

in California, and that is 

exactly what happened 

in an area of about 60 

feet wide,” Thomas said. 

“That entire portion of 

the bluff collapsed onto 

the north beach access 

road and left a pile of clay 

about 6 feet tall with trees 

piled on top.” 

Thomas said the failure 

of the bluff was 100 percent 

due to the heavy rainfall 

in recent months. 

During the Lake Forest 

City Council Meeting 

Monday, July 2, Thomas 

224-554-9798 

www.mjclarkinspections.com 

visit us online at LAKEFORESTLEADER.com 

explained to the City 

Council what had occurred. 

“I told the City Council 

that May was the wettest 

May on record, and June 

was the wettest June on 

record,” he said. “When 

you have all that water, 

essentially from Green 

Bay Road east, all the 

stormwater wants to drain 

via the ravines and overland 

to the lake. All of that 

water is trying to make its 

way to the lake.” 

Since the bluff failure, 

Thomas said the north 

beach access road is 

closed as it is unsafe and it 

is unclear if the bluff will 

fail again. 

“We do not want people 

down there,” Thomas said. 

“If we receive a heavy 

amount of rain, could the 

joining part in that bluff 

fail? Absolutely.” 

Since the bluff failed on 

June 27, surveyors have 

been monitoring the bluff 

for any movement after 

rain fall. To ensure safety, 

Thomas said Public 

Works will keep a close 

eye on the bluff after every 

rain fall until the bluff 

is repaired. They also have 

measurement tools, called 

inclinometers, along the 

entire bluff and forest 

park beach to measure any 

further movement. 

In the meantime, the 

City is working with AE- 

COM and John Keno & 

Company to come up with 

a design proposal to repair 

the bluff, which will be 

reviewed at the Lake Forest 

City Council Meeting 

on July 16, according to 

Thomas. 

The contractors are 

working to propose a plan 

with a design approach, 

which Thomas said is 

needed when you need to 

save some time. 

The repairing of the 

After crews responded to a report of a fallen tree June 27 on the north beach access 

road in Lake Forest, they found a mudslide that was more than six feet tall and 60 

feet wide. PHOTOS SUBMITTED 

bluff will take is a lot of 

re-grading and bringing 

the portion of the bluff to 

a 2 to 1 slope, which will 

stop the bluff from sliding, 

Thomas said. 

The City already 

planned to do work on the 

ravine that is adjacent the 

north beach access road 

due to erosion, but will 

now try to combine both 

projects into one. 

The cost of the projects 

are unknown at this time, 

but will be reviewed at the 

next City Council meeting 

on Monday, July 16.

Spirit, service displayed at Fourth of July Parade 

Harrison Raft 

Editorial Intern 

America severed its 

ties from Great Britain 

by signing the Declaration 

of Independence on 

July Fourth, 242 years 

ago. Since that historic 

moment, American citizens 

have celebrated their 

independence watching 

colorful bombs bursting in 

air, and parades that commemorate 

and celebrate 

the brave men and women 

that continue to preserve 

our freedom. 

The Village of Lake 

Bluff hosted its 108th annual 

Fourth of July Parade 

that stretched 1.1 miles 

and featured more than 

100 parade floats in downtown 

Lake Bluff. 

Friends and families 

colored the sidewalks of 

Lake Bluff with red, white 

and blue clothing as they 

found their seats in a sea 

of people eagerly awaiting 

the floats that would sail 

the street. 

“The best part (about the 

Lake Bluff Fourth of July 

Parade) is watching all the 

families that come out here 

and get to enjoy the day 

and a small part of America,” 

said David Belmonte, 

the Lake Bluff chief of police. 

“It’s just a very unique 

event that takes place here 

in Lake Bluff with the 

whole community being a 

part of this. [The Fourth of 

July celebration] just adds 

to the atmosphere of this 

being a great day.” 

Resident alike came out 

for the parade to celebrate 

our freedom and our country. 

“I just like the Fourth 

of July, seeing everyone 

in spirit and supporting 

the country, I think it’s my 

favorite holiday,” Emily 

Gorczynsky said. “It’s entertaining 

and fun to see 

everyone come together 

and celebrate, and when 

the Army members were 

coming, everyone was 

clapping and saluting, it 

was really nice.” 

The Fourth of July has 

always been a time for 

the community to come 

together and celebrate. 

Houses along the parade 

route hosted viewing parties 

while they grilled out. 

“The whole town comes 

together, you hang out with 

your friends and whoever 

has a house on the parade 

route,” said Will Paschke, 

a Lake Forest resident. 

The parade floats ranged 

from: the Wells Fargo carriage 

drawn by four horses, 

bringing the crowd back to 

a time before motorized 

vehicles. 

Following the clicks 

and clacks of the horses 

hooves, car engines roared 

over the crowds applause 

as they drove down the 

road. 

Tamborine bands that 

marched down the streets 

beating their drums to the 

sound of the trumpets, 

along with dancers that 

moved with the rhythm of 

the music. 

Deb Dintruff, the president 

of the Fourth of July 

Parade and a committee of 

15 others work year-round 

to plan for the parade. 

“We meet the day after 

the parade and start planning 

for the next one,“ she 

said. “It’s really fun and 

it’s a great group of people, 

so it really is a joy.”

This is Maximus von den 

Oher Tannen, aka Max. 

He is a 1-year-old long 

coat German Shepherd. 

Because of his coat, his fur is very soft. His favorite 

things are squeaky tennis balls, playing fetch, baby 

carrots and chasing squirrels in our backyard. He 

also loves his trainer Lisa from Two Paws Up in 

Lake Bluff. Our Golden Retriever passed away in 

December, so Max is a bit lonely at times, but we 

plan to get another companion for him.

Lake Forest City Council 

Six-story Hyatt Place hotel approved in Conway Park 

Todd Marver 

Freelance Reporter 

Visitors will soon have 

a new hotel to stay at in 

Lake Forest. 

The Lake Forest City 

Council unanimously 

voted for an ordinance approving 

design aspects for 

a new Hyatt Place hotel 

on Field Drive in Conway 

Park during its meeting 

Monday, July 2. The City 

Council also voted 6-2 to 

approve a limited-term financial 

incentive package 

for the hotel. 

The hotel will be built 

on a 9.5-acre parcel and 

will be six stories and 60 

feet tall. The first floor will 

include meeting rooms, 

a fitness center, pool and 

restaurant, and the second 

through sixth floors will 

include a total of 158 hotel 

rooms. 

“We’re all in agreement 

that this is a very good 

project and very good for 

the community and something 

that we should support,” 

Alderman Ray Buschmann 

said. “We have a 

development that we all 

agree will help the city and 

profit for the city.” 

Per the incentive agreement, 

the developer, Janko 

Group, will receive as 

much as $2.8 million in tax 

incentives. The agreement 

also prohibits the City 

from authorizing incentive 

payments to other hotels 

for four years from the effective 

date of Sept. 30, 

2018. No incentive payments 

can be made during 

the four-year period to a 

competing hotel located in 

Lake Forest and lying west 

of a line, which is 1,000 

feet east of the eastern 

boundary of the Waukegan 

Road right-of-way. 

The estimated 20-year 

tax revenue to Lake Forest 

from the project is approximately 

$7.9 million. 

“This is a great deal,” 

Alderman Jack Reisenberg 

said. “It provides significant 

tax revenue to us. The 

incentives are entirely appropriate 

for what we’re 

doing. Quite frankly, I 

want to give the exclusivity 

to them so that they can 

go to the bank and get the 

deal they want.” 

Alderman Prue Beidler, 

who cast one of the two 

votes against approving 

the incentive agreement, 

was opposed to the exclusivity 

clause that prohibits 

the City from making 

incentive payments to 

competing hotels from 

Sept. 30, 2018-Sept. 30, 

2022. 

“I think this is a terrific 

project in the right place,” 

she said. “I’m completely 

on board with the necessity 

of an incentive package, 

but I don’t like this one. 

The thing I don’t like about 

this one is the exclusivity.” 

Alderman Melanie 

Rummel, who cast the second 

vote in opposition to 

the incentive agreement, 

felt the exclusivity clause 

was unnecessary. 

“I don’t think that government 

is in the business 

of putting in place restrictions 

on the free market,” 

she said. “Whether or not 

a hotel comes in is still 

totally in our hands. We 

can still be the final determinant 

of whether another 

hotel comes in there.” 

Alderman Michelle 

Moreno shared the concerns 

on the exclusivity 

clause with her colleagues 

that voted against the incentive 

agreement, but despite 

that she voted to approve 

it. 

“I favor this,” she said. 

“There are aspects of it I 

don’t like. I don’t like giving 

exclusivity to anybody, 

but I do think we have 

to do this. I do think the 

Janko Group is the right 

group to do it. I think staff 

has done a phenomenal 

job negotiating this, so I’m 

very happy with it.” 

Alderman Tim Newman 

favored the exclusivity 

clause because he felt it 

would be more than four 

years for another comparable 

hotel to be up and 

running. 

“I’m comfortable with 

the exclusivity arrangement 

because of how long 

it takes for projects of this 

size to get through our 

process,” he said. “If it 

helps the developer secure 

financing because it locks 

up a site, I think that’s a 

quid pro quo that I can live 

with.”

of residential burglary following 

alleged incidents 

on Friday, June 29, and 

Sunday, July 1, in Wilmette

The victim was sleeping

as Luksik, allegedly rummaging 

through his personal 

belongings on his 

bedroom floor. The offender 

is a former acquaintance 

of the victim but did not 

have permission to be in 

the home. Luksik left the 

resident when asked to by 

the victim. 

Wilmette Police responded 

to a residential 

burglary in which the victim 

reported that the offender, 

later identified as 

Luksik, had just fled his 

home at 11:41 a.m. July 

1 in the 900 block of Romona

basement had been forced 

open. As he was inspecting 

further, he observed Luksik

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Village president rebuts 

claims of financial 

mismanagement 

At the outset of the 

Monday, July 2 Glenview 

Village Board meeting, 

Village President Jim Patterson 

delivered a detailed 

rebuttal to that morning’s 

Chicago Tribune editorial 

headlined “How to avoid 

Glenview’s party-hearty 

embarrassment.” 

The editorial was based 

on a review by the paper’s 

Pioneer Press satellite 

publications of 2014-17 

expenses on village-issued 

credit cards of “roughly 

$540,000 in purchases that 

included parties, dinners 

and travel” and alleged 

that there was “a lack of 

transparency documenting 

it.” 

“I want to assure everyone 

that the Board of 

Trustees has been a good 

financial steward for the 

Village of Glenview,” said 

Patterson, who was incorrectly 

identified as Glenview’s 

mayor in the editorial. 

“Board members do 

care and they are passionate 

about how every dollar 

is spent. Every purchase 

must have a receipt. We 

are very transparent.” 

In the village president’s 

opinion, lumping 

three years of purchases 

to produce the “roughly 

$540,000” total creates the 

misleading impression that 

spending is excessive. 

According to Patterson, 

all purchases were included 

in the budgets for each 

of the years. He said credit 

cards have to be used for 

online purchases because 

it is the only method of 

payment accepted and that 

training events for staff 

members entail transportation 

expenses, meals and 

overnight hotel stays. He 

broke down several of the 

expenditures that the editorial 

criticized.

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Three-year Glencoe trustee 

to resign 

Citing relocation, Village 

of Glencoe Trustee 

Trent Cornell announced 

this week he’ll resign from 

the board of trustees on 

Aug. 31. 

Glencoe’s village code 

requires that all trustees 

reside in the corporate 

boundaries of the Village 

of Glencoe, and Cornell 

and his family are moving 

to Long Grove, about 30 

miles northwest of Glencoe. 

“My family loves Glencoe, 

and I really enjoyed 

being a trustee, so we’re 

sad to leave,” Cornell told 

The Anchor via email. 

“It’s been a great experience 

interacting with my 

neighbors and the dedicated 

staff we have at the 

Village to keep improving 

our town, and I hope more 

younger residents continue 

to get involved and give 

back.” 

Cornell, 46, was elected 

to the Village of Glencoe 

Board of Trustees in April 

2015 and according to 

the Village, in that time 

served on the Community 

Grants Committee and 

was integral to the development 

of the most recent 

Strategic Plan. 

To Cornell, the most rewarding 

accomplishment 

was uniting Glencoe organizations, 

especially, he 

said, because of Illinois’ 

vast government network. 

“I’d have to say I’m 

most pleased about something 

we began when I 

was on the Glencoe Park 

District that continues to 

grow, and that is shared 

services and cooperation 

between the local government 

entities in Glencoe, 

and also with neighboring 

municipalities,” he said. 

“It’s idiotic that Illinois 

has so many units of local 

government. Since that 

isn’t likely to change, the 

next best thing is to share 

services and leverage buying 

power.

First residency class graduates from Lake Forest Hospital 

Submitted by 


Lake Forest Hospital 

The first medical residency 

program for the 


Lake Forest Hospital is 

graduating its inaugural 

class, prompting a 

time for celebration, not 

just for the young physicians, 

but for the program 

itself. 

The Northwestern Mc- 

Gaw Family Medicine 

Residency at Lake Forest 

Hospital welcomed its 

first class of physicians 

in 2015, but the work to 

create the program dates 

back several years before 

that, said Deborah S. Clements, 

MD, FAAFP, chair 

of Family and Community 

Medicine at Northwestern 

University Feinberg 

School of Medicine. Clements 

sees the residency 

program as another example 

of Northwestern 

Medicine Lake Forest 

Hospital’s expanding participation 

with academics 

and research. 

“Their graduation is so 

exciting because the residents 

really established 


Lake Forest Hospital as 

a community academic 

health center,” Dr. Clements 

said. “It was a huge 

transition for everyone 

here. You can develop a 

curriculum and bring on 

the residents, but changing 

the culture is a leap, 

and we were successful in 

doing that. The residency 

program creates a culture 

of inquisitiveness and 

learning.” 

The residency program 

boasts unique aspects. 

Residents participate in a 

Spanish immersion program, 

and complete clinical 

rotations in three locations 

with different types 

of patients — inpatients, 

at Northwestern Medicine 

Lake Forest Hospital; 

outpatients, at Northwestern 

Medicine Grayslake 

Outpatient Center; and 

economically disadvantaged 

patients at Erie 

HealthReach in Waukegan, 

a Federally Qualified 

Health Center (FQHC) 

that is partially funded by 

Northwestern Medicine. 

For resident J. Mica 

Guzman, MD, MS, that 

diversity was key. 

“I honestly don’t know 

of many other residency 

programs that have two 

different clinical sites in 

addition to an inpatient 

hospital experience,” 

Guzman said. 

He noted that the group 

was able to follow patients 

through their medical 

process, whether it was 

inpatient, outpatient, or 

even in some cases, hospice. 

That breadth of experience 

was evident by the 

career paths that the graduating 

residents chose to 

pursue, Clements said. 

Two residents have accepted 

positions as hospitalists, 

one will work 

at an FQHC in Indiana, 

and another will return 

to her home community 

in central Illinois to practice 

family medicine. Two 

more have accepted fellowships 

and another will 

remain with Northwestern 

Medicine as a family 

medicine physician. 

Clements is also proud 

List of Graduates: 

• Anna Balabanova, 

MD, will remain at 


with a fellowship at 


Osher Center for 

Integrative Medicine. 

• Latoya Epps-Scott, 

MD, has accepted a 

hospitalist position in 

Georgia, near her family. 

• Ryan Golden, MD,

From the Editor 

Do your part to save the environment 

Alyssa Groh 


I 

should start this off by 

saying I have always 

cared about the environment, 

but was never 

someone who went out of 

my way to find recycling 

or yelled at those who 

don’t recycle. 

Growing up, we always 

had multiple garbage cans. 

One for our everyday garbage, 

one for recycling, 

one for pop cans (I lived 

in a family that LOVED 

pop), and one for paper. 

From day one, I was 

always taught to recycle. 

As I became an adult 

I always recycled, but 

again, never went out of 

my way to find recycling. 

Since living in my own 

apartment, I have become 

more and more aware of 

what can and cannot be recycled. 

My boyfriend and 

I have dedicated an entire 

garbage can for recycling. 

But, helping the environment 

is not only about 

recycling. 

Growing up, we did 

not have the cleanest tap 

water, so for the majority 

of my life I always 

drank water out of a water 

bottle. I was so spoiled by 

filtered water, I hated the 

taste of tap water and, until 

about two weeks ago, 

refused to drink tap water. 

I would rather go thirsty 

to drink tap water. Yes, 

I know that is a little 

extreme, but it was true, 

until recently. 

Not only did I only drink 

bottled water, but I am 

attached to my Contigo 

water bottle that keeps my 

water nice and cold all day 

long. So, every single day 

I pour at least four plastic 

water bottles into my Contigo 

water bottle. 

After moving into my 

apartment and really getting 

focused on recycling, 

I realized how much of 

my recycling bin was 

filled with plastic water 

bottles. And it dawned on 

me. I am using a reusable 

water bottle, but filling it 

with water out of a plastic 

water bottle, hurting the 

environment and endangering 

our animals in 

the ocean. 

I decided to grow up 

and have stopped using 

water bottles. Now, I can’t 

give myself too much 

credit because I still hate 

the taste of tap water. So, 

I went out and bought a 

Brita water filter and fill it 

with water and then pour 

that into my water bottle. 

There are so many small 

things we can be doing in 

our daily lives that help 

the environment and in 

turn keep animals (and 

humans) alive. 

What small things can 

you do on a daily basis 

to help the environment? 

Start recycling? Stop using 

plastic straws? 

Whatever it is, if we 

choose a few small things 

to start doing that help the 

environment it will go a 

long way.

Letters to the Editor 

Keep Lake Forest beautiful 

and safe 

On Monday, July 16, 

the City Council will vote 

whether or not to allow a 

carwash, gas station and 

mini market at the dangerous, 

congested, narrow 

intersection of Everett 

and Waukegan roads 

(Death Valley). To allow 

this to happen will pose 

threats both real and aesthetically 

to our town. 

The reasons to oppose are 

many: air, noise and light 

pollution, increased congestion 

and disrespect to 

a house of worship and an 

ugly, noisy entrance to our 

community whose reputation 

as safe, serene and 

desirable will be a thing 

of the past. Property values 

will diminish (no one 

wants to live in the vicinity 

of these assaults to our 

senses) and the taxpayers 

in all four wards could 

likely be coerced to make 

up the difference with increased 

personal property 

taxes. 

Mr. Alexander Stuart 

is the owner of this narrow, 

vacant parcel on 

the Southeast corner. For 

more than three years he 

has sought a zone variance 

to circumvent existing 

sensible zoning 

requiring a small retail 

or service business to satisfy 

the recurring needs of 

neighbors. Our city council 

has wisely not allowed 

that to happen. So many 

options are available to 

Mr. Stuart but he is obdurate 

in seeking only Waterway. 

Why? 

Please show your love 

of community and your 

right as a citizen to get 

his answer. Attend the 

City Council meeting 

Monday, July 16 at 6:30 

at City Hall, 220 East 

Deerpath. For more information

Walking tour explores the early resort era of Lake Bluff 

Gina Grillo 

Freelance Reporter 

The Lake Bluff History 

Museum hosted its first 

docent-led walking tour of 

the summer, Camp Meeting 

Cottages and Country 

Houses, a 90-minute 

neighborhood jaunt, inviting 

participants to take a 

stroll back in time on Sunday, 

July 8. 

Nan Caldwell, a Lake 

Bluff History Museum 

board member and tour 

docent, said it’s important 

for small towns like Lake 

Bluff to have a history museum 

that serves to collect, 

archive and preserve the 

history of the town. 

The tour explored the 

Camp Meeting Association, 

established in 1875, 

and the early resort era of 

Lake Bluff. 

“The city of Chicago 

with its stockyards, steel, 

coal and meat-packing 

industries, was a sooty, 

dirty and smelly place,” 

Caldwell said. “(It was a) 

place where people wanted 

to get away for the summer, 

and often men would 

send their families to Lake 

Bluff for the entire summer, 

and then take the train 

in to spend weekends with 

their families.” 

The Lake Bluff Camp 

Meeting was started by a 

group of Methodist Ministers 

and businessmen 

who purchased 100 acres 

in Lake Bluff with the intent 

to develop a summer 

resort and religious camp 

meeting. 

Caldwell said the Camp 

Meeting Association was 

fashioned after the Chautauqua 

movement, which 

was started at Lake Chautauqua, 

N.Y. in 1874, creating 

assemblies organized 

around the four pillars of 

arts, education, religion 

and recreation. 

“The Lake Bluff Association 

under this guise 

also offered gatherings and 

educational programs held 

under a huge tabernacle 

(built for this purpose), 

lectures, concerts, art lessons 

and discussions, all 

promoting the edification 

of the mind, body and 

soul” Caldwell said. 

The camp environment 

began with sturdy tents 

and evolved into cottages, 

eventually leading to the 

incorporation of the Village 

in 1895, according to 

Caldwell. 

Local mystery novelist, 

Deborah Rine attended 

the tour with her husband 

Larry Rine, and said she 

thought going on the tour 

might be a good way to 

find some inspiration for 

her writing. 

“A tour like this one 

helps to give depth and 

historical perspective to 

your understanding of the 

town you are living in,” 

Rine said. “Knowing more 

about the stories of the 

past helps you understand 

the present.” 

According to Caldwell, 

Lake Bluff is full of history 

involving important 

residents, that include 

such notables as social reformer 

and women’s rights 

activist, Frances Willard, 

author Frederic Nelson 

Litten, and Congressman 

Bob McClory. 

Lake Bluff History Museum 

Vice President Pam 

Russell said in addition 

to regular displays and 

special exhibits, upcoming 

tours will include Crab 

Tree Farm: Arts & Crafts 

Collection, Camp Meetings: 

Chautauquas, Artists 

and Anarchists and a 

Ghost walk this fall.

GO Lake Bluff announces 

winners of kids coloring contest 

Submitted by Lake Bluff 

Park District 

In conjunction with 

GO Lake Bluff’s ongoing 

commitment to get and 

keep the community moving 

— all in the name of 

health — the Lake Bluff 

Park District held a coloring 

contest. 

Children of all ages 

were encouraged to draw 

a picture of themselves 

doing or eating something 

healthy. 

The contest was held at 

the Lake Bluff Farmers 

market on June 15 and at 

the June 23 Community 

Walk and Fest. 

It was hard to pick a 

winner from the many creative 

entries, but the judges 

had to keep the health 

theme of the contest first 

and foremost, eliminating 

some very talented artists. 

Each of the three winners, 

will receive a $10 

gift card, compliments of 

Suzy’s Swirl. 

This drawing, of a young girl playing soccer, was one of 

three winners in the GO Lake Bluff coloring contest. 

This drawing was also a winner displaying getting 

exercise by walking a dog.

24 | July 12, 2018 | The lake forest leader DINING OUT 


Traditional Greek plus contemporary spin equals success at Avli Restaurant 

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

Louie Alexakis lights 

up when he’s talking 

about food and his family’s 

homeland of Greece. 

The Winnetka resident 

has combined these two 

passions into the highly 

successful Avli Restaurant, 

a North Shore dining 

destination, for almost a 

decade. 

Located at 566 Chestnut 

St. in Winnetka, Avli 

Restaurant, is just mere 

blocks from his home. 

Alexakis has been 

around the culinary world 

his entire life. His parents, 

Greek immigrants, ran hot 

dog stands in Chicago for 

more than 50 years and 

were the oldest concessionaire 

in the Chicago 

Park District at one time. 

Other family members 

have run Greek eateries 

throughout the city for 

many years. 

Since the 1990s, Alexakis 

has owned several restaurants 

in Chicagoland 

himself, and he opened 

Avli in 2009. 

“For the past 25 years, 

all I’ve thought about is 

how I can innovate Greek 

cuisine,” Alexakis said. 

Recently, a group of 

22nd Century Media editors 

stopped into Avli to 

talk with Alexakis and try 

some of his dishes. 

We started out with a 

watermelon salad ($7/ 

small and $12/large) that 

is a summertime staple at 

Avli. 

The refreshing salad 

features watermelon, red 

onions, toasted almonds, 

fresh mint, manouri 

cheese with a rosewater 

and olive oil dressing. The 

dish was an ideal starter 

on the warm day. 

Alexakis said the 

Greek cheese, which really 

stands out for its 

Grilled artichokes ($8) are served with capers, lemon 

zest and extra virgin olive oil. 

unique taste, is also used 

in a cheesecake dish and 

found grilled in a walnut 

and arugula salad. 

The watermelon salad 

was accompanied by a 

beet salad ($8 and $13) 

made with local Midwestern 

red and yellow beets, 

along with spinach, arugula, 

pistachios, Greek 

goat cheese, extra virgin 

olive oil and truffle oil. 

Take one bite of any of 

Alexakis’s dishes and the 

amount of thought that 

went into it is quickly 

evident with each bite. 

The food also pops on 

the plate with a medley of 

colors accentuating what 

is being served. 

“What we like to do 

here is take something 

that is very traditional 

and Greek, but maybe just 

make the plate a little bit 

more contemporary,” said 

Alexakis, who will be 

opening two restaurants 

in Chicago — a Greek 

restaurant in Lincoln Park 

in August and another one 

in River North soon thereafter. 

According to Alexakis, 

grilling artichokes is very 

popular in Greece and an 

artichoke-based dish ($8) 

is often ordered at Avli. 

The artichokes, grilled 

to perfection, are served

with capers, lemon zest 

and extra virgin olive oil. 

Next, we tried a beef 

kabob ($21) made with 

chargrilled beef tenderloin, 

described by Alexakis 

as “mini filet mignon,” 

herbs, spices and lemonoregano 

rice. 

We also sampled the 

broiled branzino ($29), or 

Mediterranean sea bass. 

Fish from Greece is 

flown in to Avli twice a 

week. 

“The only way you can 

get that fish better is to eat 

it in Greece,” Alexakis 

said. 

The branzino had more 

of a classic, buttery taste 

than most white fish and 

its freshness was definitely 

noticeable. 

We were served some 

traditional Greek-style 

chicken with the chicken 

riganati ($16), or baked 

chicken, with extra virgin 

olive oil, tomato, herbs

The watermelon salad ($7/small or $12/large) features fresh watermelon, red onions, 

toasted almonds, fresh mint, manouri cheese with a rosewater and olive oil dressing. 

and lemon-oregano rice. 

Alexakis often travels 

to Greece for new culinary 

ideas, but he also 

finds it useful to travel to 

other countries and see 

how they serve Greek 

food. For example, he has 

under his employment an 

Australian Greek chef. 

For dessert, we tried 

one of his dishes called 

Ice Cream Indulgence 

($7) that consists of vanilla 

ice cream, with a touch 

of cinnamon, chocolate 

halva and chocolate ice 

cream with sour cherry 

preserves. 

“I want to offer Greek 

food that is maybe a little 

bit more playful and 

contemporary than what 

people have grown to expect,” 

Alexakis said. “I 

think if anything, it’s the 

right complement to the 

current style of Greek 

food. It’s important to appeal 

to everyone.”

BASKETBALL 

From Page 30 

by Hanson once again, 

the Scouts went on a 9-2 

scoring run. Fellow rising 

seniors Michael Pasquella 

and Crawford Bolton put 

the Scouts up 46-38 with 

1:31 left in the game. 

Hanson led all scorers 

with 17 points, while 

Pasquella paced the Scouts 

with 10. 

“The kids played well. 

I think they were really 

excited to play,” LaScala 

said. “I thought they did 

a great job of sharing the 

ball and a pretty good job 

of rebounding.” 

For Hanson, he felt the 

game was a good test for 

the team. 

“It was a good close to 

our summer,” Hanson said. 

“It was a good culmination 

to everything we’ve been 

working on as a team.” 

In the second game, 

New Trier was able to use 

a huge third quarter to pull 

away from Marshall, winning 

big 71-56. 

To end a day filled with 

fun and competition, LaScala, 

along with other 

members of the LFHS basketball 

family and athletic 

office, took to the grill and 

cooked up hamburgers 

and hotdogs right outside 

the competition gym in 

the senior parking lot, allowing 

all four teams to 

break bread and relax after 

a long and tiring month of 

June summer camp.

“It is really cool to be able 

to interact with kids who 

aren’t necessarily from the 

same background as you,” 

Hanson said. “It’s also interesting 

to see how much you 

have in common whether its 

basketball or in general.” 

The addition of New Trier 

and Marshall was welcomed 

by LaScala as he is 

looking forward toward the 

future and potentially expanding 

Net Gain’s reach 

to more communities. 

“It was great having two 

more teams this year, it’s 

always great to meet new 

people,” LaScala said. 

“Next year, we might try 

and expand it to an eightteam, 

four-game shootout 

somewhere.”

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Holly Malnati 

Holly Malnati is a 2018 

alumna of Lake Forest 

High School and played 

for the girls water polo 

team. 

How did you get 

started playing water 

polo? 

I was recruited to play 

by all of the seniors on my 

swim team, actually. Water 

polo isn’t the most popular 

sport in my school so I 

think the swimmers get the 

underclassmen to get started 

early, before you know 

what you’re getting into. 

Why did you love 

playing water polo? 

Aside from just my team 

specifically, I just like the 

game and the competitiveness 

of it. The only other 

sport I play is swimming. I 

like the idea of a team sport 

and that you have to work 

with a group of people to 

create a common goal. You 

have to participate to help 

the team. 

What is the most 

challenging aspect of 

the sport? 

The most challenging 

part was what I kind of 

said before, with what 

was my favorite part. You 

have to learn that you can’t 

do everything yourself.

varsity to varsity, you 

have to learn you can’t do 

everything yourself. You 

don’t always have to be 

the person to make that 

goal, an assist is just as important 

as making a goal 

yourself. 

What is the best 

advice coach Anna 

Colletti gave you this 

season? 

She didn’t technically 

say this out loud, but we 

kind of learned it from 

her actions. It’s just learning 

how to walk away and 

separate yourself from 

something that didn’t go 

your way. [Knowing that] 

it’s just a sport and a loss 

doesn’t define you as an 

athlete. It’s okay to lose 

every once in a while. 

What is your best 

memory from senior 

year? 

We performed at the 

Vatican as a choir, so we 

performed at St. Peter’s 

Basilica during mass during 

Holy Week. It’s still so 

surreal being a musician 

and that’s as high as it gets 

for choirs. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

I would go to Amsterdam, 

because I want to see 

the Anne Frank museum 

there. 

What is one thing on 

your bucket list you 

want to do? 

Go cage diving with 

sharks. My dad has just 

22nd Century Media File 

Photo 

always told me skydiving 

was dangerous but I think 

cage diving would be kind 

of cool. They have enough 

technology to make it safe 

but it’s also really thrilling 

at the same time with the 

sharks. 

Who is your favorite 

artist or band right 

now? 

I listen to a lot of music. 

Right now, I’m listening to 

a lot of George Ezra. He 

has good summer music, 

it’s somewhat mellow and 

upbeat at the same time. 

What is your guilty 

pleasure? 

Definitely Broadway 

musicals. I guess if you 

look at me you wouldn’t 

see it, but I’m a huge fan 

of them. If you pass me in 

the car that’s what I’m listening 

to. 

What is your favorite 

musical right now? 

Right now, I would 

probably say “The Color 

Purple” but my all-time favorite, 

I would have to say 

“Dear Evan Hansen.”

LFC installs Wilson at helm of women’s ice hockey program 

Submitted by Lake Forest 

College 

Jennifer Wilson was 

hired as just the fourth 

head coach of the women’s 

hockey program. 

Lake Forest College Director 

of Athletics Jackie 

Slaats announced Wilson’s 

addition to the program 

June 26, according to a release 

from the school. 

Wilson takes over as head 

coach after longtime coach 

Carisa Wahlig, who was 

with the team for 13 seasons, 

steps down to coach 

for Brown Unveristy’s Division-I 

program. 

Wilson comes to Lake 

Forest from NCAA Division 

III Buffalo State, a 

member of the Northeast 

Women’s Hockey League. 

The Bengals posted a 13- 

11-2 overall record in 

2017-18, Wilson’s first 

season at the helm of the 

program. Buffalo State 

was 9-6-1 in conference 

play and earned a home 

game in the inaugural NE- 

WHL playoffs by placing 

second in the standings 

behind perennial national 

power Plattsburgh State. 

Prior to her time at Buffalo 

State Wilson spent a 

pair of seasons as the head 

coach at ACHA Division I 

Robert Morris University 

in Chicago and associate 

head coach at the high 

school level at Loyola 

Academy. She helped 

lead Robert Morris to the 

Eagles’ first appearance in 

the conference tournament 

semifinals in four years 

and Loyola to a state title 

and runner-up finish. 

Wilson’s coaching career 

began at NCAA Division 

III St. Michael’s in 

Vermont, where she was 

an assistant for two seasons. 

She helped lead the 

Knights to their first postseason 

appearance in the 

program’s 12-year history 

and was selected as an intern 

coach for the U15 National 

Development Camp 

in St. Cloud, Minn. Wilson 

remains active with USA 

Hockey as a certified level 

4 coach and has additional 

experience as a talent evaluator, 

instructor, and coach 

for several high-level state 

programs and showcases. 

Wilson began her collegiate 

playing career at 

NCAA Division III Manhattanville 

College, where 

she was part of the 2006 

ECAC-East Championship 

team that posted a 23- 

4-1 record. She played her 

final two years at Robert 

Morris, where she served 

as an assistant captain and 

amassed 49 points on 22 

goals and 27 assists in 68 

games. The Manitowoc, 

Wisc., native was also 

one of the state’s top high 

school players and was selected 

to Team Wisconsin 

for the Chicago Showcase. 

“I would like to thank 

Jackie Slaats and her athletic 

staff for this amazing 

opportunity to be part of 

the Forester Family and it’s 

tradition of excellence,” 

commented Wilson. “I am 

humbled and ecstatic to 

be back home in the Midwest 

and looking forward 

to continuing the success 

of the Forester women’s 

hockey program.” 

“I am extremely excited 

to add Coach Wilson to our 

staff,” Slaats said. “She has 

excelled at every stop during 

her coaching career and 

I look forward to Lake Forest 

College being added to 

that list. Our program has 

established itself as one of 

the strongest in the west region 

and I am confident her 

energy and passion for the 

sport will help continue and 

enhance its success.”

Ciara Kissane was promoted 

to the head coach position for 

both the men’s and women’s 

cross-country and track programs. 

The promotion was announced 

by Lake Forest College 

Director of Athletics Jackie 

Slaats June 27, according to a 

release from the school. 

Kissane will replace Dan 

Simpson, who is now the head 

cross-country and assistant 

track and field coach at North 

Park University. 

Kissane was an assistant for 

both programs in 2017-18 and 

helped lead the Forester crosscountry 

teams to top-half finishes 

at the 2017 Midwest Conference 

Championship Meet.

in program history and five 

athletes were named All-MWC. 

The College added track (distance 

events only) to its slate of 

varsity programming and had a 

conference title in one event and 

added 10 other Top 10 finishes 

during its first appearance at the 

MWC Championships. 

Prior to coming to Lake Forest, 

Kissane was the head crosscountry 

coach and assistant track 

and field coach for a year at 

Coe College. Her cross-country 

teams combined to post 10 new 

entries on the Kowawks’ alltime 

performance list and, in the 

classroom, earned the United 

States Track and Field and Cross 

Country Coaches Association 

All-Academic Team Award for 

having a GPA over 3.10. 

Kissane is a graduate of the 

University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh 

and she added a master’s 

degree in sports management 

from Florida State University in 

2013. 

“I am looking forward to 

leading the Lake Forest cross 

country and distance track 

teams and would like to thank 

Jackie Slaats for giving me 

this opportunity,” Kissane said. 

“This is an exciting time as we 

enter the second year of varsity 

track competition and look 

to build on our past success in 

cross country.” 

A search to fill Kissane’s vacated 

assistant coach position 

will begin immediately.

“What can we do to help

That was Lake Forest

The five-part article,

2017, highlighted Orr

basketball team and its path 

to the 2017 IHSA Class 2A 

state championship amidst

Net Gain charity event 

last year, which featured 

a charity exhibition game 

between Lake Forest and 

Orr. 

For the second year in a 

row, the Lake Forest High 

School boys basketball 

team hosted its annual Net 

Gain fundraising event 

July 2. 

Net Gain expanded to 

a four-team doubleheader 

this year, headlined by 

the Scouts in a rematch 

against the reigning twotime 

defending IHSA 

Class 2A state champions,

Orr Academy. 

A second game followed 

featuring another citysuburban

against the John Marshall 

Metropolitan High School. 

Net Gain has raised 

more than $40,000 with 

all of the proceeds pledged 

to finance Orr’s, and now 

Marshall’s, athletic programs. 

Net Gain is more than just 

fundraising, the main objective 

is to bridge different 

racial and socioeconomic 

backgrounds and communities 

together by using basketball.

“We had them read all of 

Telander’s articles to show 

them what was going on in 

the west side of Chicago,” 

LaScala said. “It’s night 

and day. Lake Forest and 

west Chicago are on opposite 

sides of the spectrum, 

and we thought it would be 

a great idea to bring everyone 

together and help out 

the community.” 

In preparation for the 

Net Gain fundraiser, members 

of the LFHS basketball 

spread awareness 

around town and spurred 

more interest from their 

family and friends. 

“We went out and hung 

up signs and tried to explain 

the cause to get the community 

involved,” Tommy 

Hanson, a Lake Forest rising 

senior forward, said. “It 

was cool to see how receptive 

they were.” 

The day of the event, Net 

Gain T-shirts and raffletickets 

were sold to help 

raise as much as possible. 

When it came to the actual 

game, the Scouts were 

able to avenge last year’s 

close loss to Orr. 

In the end it was Scouts 

that edged out Orr, 50-44, 

but it was Orr that came 

out strong and aggressive. 

Momentum favored 

the Spartans early, two 

Scout turnovers led to two 

consecutive rim-rattling 

dunks at the other end. Orr 

Academy led 9-4 midway 

through the first quarter. 

The Scouts responded 

with poise and good fundamentals, 

passing their 

way through the Spartan 

press and patiently moving 

the ball on offense. 

Lake Forest tied the 

game at the end of the 

opening period at 16 

apiece, led by 8 first-quarter 

points from Hanson,

3. Rich Telander. 

The Chicago Sun- 

Times reporter 

shed light to the 

struggles Orr 

Academy players 

faced growing up 

on Chicago’s west 

side while trying to 

have a successful 

season. 

Jack Brush never expected 

to play football in 

college. 

The 2018 graduate of 

Lake Forest High School 

was the Scouts go-to kicker 

and punter for the last 

two seasons. 

However, Brush started 

off feeling unsure about 

his role as kicker. 

“Coming into high 

school I wasn’t really 

much of a kicker,” he said. 

But with practice, and 

the help of the Scouts 

coaching staff, by his junior 

year Brush had grown 

comfortable and confident 

kicking for the Scouts. By 

the end of his junior season 

Brush had complete 

28 of 30 point-after attempts 

and was 3-for-3 on 

field goals. 

“Coming into high 

school I had no idea 

I would end up playing 

football in college,” 

Brush said. “I only really 

decided I wanted to play 

in college during my junior 

year.” 

Brush credited Lake 

Forest coach Chuck Spagnoli 

with helping him 

realize he could go farther 

with his football career. 

Spagnoli would have 

coaches from both Division-I 

and Division-III 

schools come in and talk 

to his players. After that it 

only took Brush one visit 

to DePauw University to

fall. 

know that was the right 

college for him. It was 

then that Brush started 

taking the necessary steps 

to make himself known to 

recruiters. 

“My parents said it 

might be a good idea to 

keep on playing if I really 

wanted to,” Brush said. “I 

just ended up starting to 

look at colleges and signing 

up on the recruiting 

websites.” 

Brush created a profile 

on Next College Student 

Athlete’s recruiting 

website and it didn’t take 

long for Brush to get a 

response from his No. 1 

choice. DePauw was the 

only college Brush applied 

to and when he was 

accepted he knew everything 

as falling into place 

nicely. 

“I knew of DePauw, so 

when they sent me something 

I thought it was pretty 

awesome that they sent 

me that,” he said. 

Brush won’t be the only 

Scout on the Tigers roster 

either, former Lake Forest 

teammate Andrew Athenson, 

a defensive back, 

played for the team in 

the 2017 season and current 

teammates Matthew 

Barigazzi, also a defensive 

back, will join Brush at the 

school this fall. And having 

those two familiar faces 

will make the transition 

much easier, Brush said. 

Brush has spent most of 

the summer following De- 

Pauw’s workout program, 

that was provided, and 

working on his kicking 

skills. Currently, Brush’s 

accuracy is consistent at

45 yards, but he’s pushing 

to get comfortable with 

50-yard kicks. Last season, 

Brush used a block 

to kick off and part of his 

summer training is getting 

used to kicking off the 

ground. 

Brush also added that 

incoming freshman do 

see playing time, just on 

DePauw’s junior varsity 

squad, which was appealing 

for him. 

“That will help me out 

getting a feel of what college 

football is like,” he 

said. “I’m hoping that I 

can get better with my 

range with field goals and 

just kicking the ball further 

in the kickoffs.” 

Listen Up 

“It is really cool to be able to interact with kids who 

aren’t necessarily from the same background as 

you.”
