‘Each week is a little bit different’
Northfield Market
welcomes Touch a
Truck night
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
Northfield youngsters
had the chance to get into
the seats that members of
the Village’s police, fire
and public works departments
occupy every day
at the Touch a Truck event
on July 11 at Clarkson
Park.
“We bring all the equipment
out for the kids,”
said Dick Knudson, assistant
director of public
works. “The kids enjoy
it and we like bringing it
out. We can show people
the equipment that the
Village owns and the
trucks that plow down the
streets and take care of the
roads. It always seems to
be a pretty big hit.”
In addition to entering
the police, fire and public
works vehicles, children
in attendance were also
afforded the opportunity
to slide down a fire
pole.
“We come out and we
show the fire truck and
ambulance to the public
and answer any questions
they have and give the kids
an experience to go down
a fire pole to see what it’s
like,” said Bill Smaha,
Northfield Fire Department
lieutenant. “You
obviously don’t have fire
poles in your homes and
most fire stations aren’t
built with poles anymore.
It’s kind of an old-fashioned
thing.”
Police officer Steven
Malinowski enjoyed the
opportunity to showcase
police vehicles that the
public isn’t aware the Village
has.
“It’s just another positive
experience that I can
provide the community,”
he said. “There’s a lot
more to the Village that
we have for the public to
see whether it be the ATV
or the motorcycle. Some
of the members of the
public don’t even know
about these things. So to
get them out there and get
the public to know that
we have these things, it
makes my job easier having
these things.”
Assistant to the Village
Manager Melissa DeFeo
said the event is significant
because it establishes
relationships between the
public and the fire, police

The Winnetka-Northfield
Sidewalk Sale, touted
as one of the most popular
sales on the North Shore,
attracted plenty of residents
seeking a bargain
Wednesday-Saturday, July
11-14.
The sidewalk sale has
been running for more
than 30 years, according
to Terry Dason, executive
director of Winnetka
Chamber of Commerce.
This year, Northfield merchants
set up on the sidewalks
starting Wednesday,
and Winnetka’s on Friday.
The board of directors
prepares several months in
advance for the sale every
year, and Dason estimated
the number of vendors that
participated this year at approximately
100.
The booths and tables
covered a wide range of
goods. Racks of highend
clothing, service and
health organization booths,
bicycling gear, used roller
skates, photography equipment,
and tables of artisan
pottery and jewelry lined
Green Bay Road.
Dawn Engelking, of
Winnetka, has been attending
the sale for five years
as a customer and said she
always finds something.
Many of the vendors
sold eclectic assemblages
of items. Outside the Pagoda
Red antique shop
stood a table of vases and
porcelain Mao Zedong
statues.
“All the small shops,

July 13, at the annual Winnetka-Northfield Sidewalk
Sale. Maddy Tung / 22nd Century Media
when they are out doing
their buying, look for
things that are uniquely
aimed towards the people
in the community. Individual
retailers buy according
to the [Winnetka/Northfield]
community,” Dason
said.
Randi Lamb, the owner
of Hubbard Woods clothing
and gift shop Randoons,
has worked the
sidewalk sale for 19 years.
Randoons usually provides
discounts ranging from 30-
70 percent off depending
on the age of the item and
other factors.
“We go through the
whole store ... through
all the stuff that was on
sale, and some things get
marked lower for the sidewalk
sale. We have to have
extra employees help and
get everything out by 9
a.m.,” Lamb said.
The sale’s festive atmosphere
also featured a DJ
blasting pop music under
the Hubbard Woods Park
archway. Kids played in
the park’s fountains while
adults shopped.
Young entrepreneurs
operated booths on either
side of the park sidewalk,
selling dog treats, handmade
jewelry and more.
According to Dason, the
sale gives kids and college
students an opportunity to
try out being an entrepreneur.
Asma Akram, of Skokie,
has also offered henna designs
at the sidewalk sale
for seven years.
“Right now I’m 19, but
since I’ve been here for so
long, they’ve let me stay,”
Akram said, laughing.
Parents, teenagers and
children alike browsed the
various stalls, walking up
and down the shady sidewalks.
“We are trying to have
everyone included in the
shopping experience,” Dason
said.

The Current once again a top community news source
Megan Bernard, Editor
The Winnetka Current
was voted as the village’s
top news source by residents
in a recent Winnetka
Caucus Survey.
Results show nearly 81
percent of voters (840 of
1,038 participants) selected
the publication when
asked, “Where do you get
your information about issues
and events related to
Winnetka?” Results were
posted June 29.
“It’s a proud moment
for us to see these survey
results,” said Joe Coughlin,
the publisher of 22nd
Century Media, The Current’s
parent company.
“Knowing that close to 90
percent of Winnetkans rely
on The Current for their
local news is an honor.
It’s why we do this job
and strive to get better at
it every day. Thank you,
Winnetka, for your readership.”
The Current has been
voted as the top news
source consistently for
several years.
Following The Current,
voters said they receive
information from e-mails
from the Village, parks,
schools, library and caucus;
then newsletters and
websites.
The caucus survey also
gathered information on
the Village of Winnetka,
Winnetka-Northfield Public
Library District, Winnetka
Park District and
District 36.
In an email detailing the
results, Bill Schneider, the
2018 Winnetka Caucus
Council chairman, said it
was the largest response
the council had received in
years.
Based on the results, the
Winnetka Caucus Council
will next generate platforms
to be presented to
the full caucus at the Fall
Town Hall Meeting on
Nov. 15 at Hubbard Woods
Elementary School, 1110
Chatfield Road, Winnetka.
In all, the Winnetka Caucus
is a nonpartisan group
of volunteers who serve
to represent the residents
of Winnetka in selecting
candidates for board positions
on the four governing
bodies, conducting an annual
survey and generating
platforms for each body,
and holding two open
town halls each year.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER
LFA grad fatally shot on
anniversary trip in Mexico
During a vacation to
celebrate her one-year
wedding anniversary, Tatiana
Mirutenko, 27, a Lake
Forest Academy graduate,
was fatally shot July 7 in
Mexico City.
The incident occurred
when Tatiana and her husband,
James Hoover, were
exiting a local taco restaurant.
Gunmen on motorcycle
aimed shots at a man
— who authorities later
identified as a bouncer at
an area bar — when Tatiana
was hit by a stray bullet,
according to a report from
ABC7.
The gunmen fled the
scene and the intended
target was wounded, but
survived.
Tatiana’s husband,
Hoover, released a statement
to The Lake Forest
Leader, but could not be
reached for further comment.
“Tatiana was a passionate,
loving, smart, beautiful
woman. She was an
athlete, a foodie, a wino,
a Netflix binge-watcher,
a hiker, a skier, an investor
... the list goes on,”
Hoover said in the statement.
“She had so many
interests and lived with a
vibrant curiosity, which
was one of her best qualities.
She lived life to the
fullest and attacked every
opportunity that life gave
her to grow and develop
herself personally and
professionally. I’ll forever
cherish our talks about life
and career and our plans
to build a family together.
She pushed me to always
do more. Her death was
instant. She did not suffer.
The incident was all so
sudden and surreal. She
had an incredible amount
of life left in her, and
the void that she leaves
is numbing. She was the
best friend and partner I
could have hoped for. I
loved her deeply and will
miss her so much.”

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN
Facing deportation, nineyear
Glenview resident to
emigrate to Canada
Songhee Back is a
dreamer.
Her dream is to become
a surgical oncologist, a
doctor who specializes in
cancer surgery.
Back’s first three years
at Glenbrook South would
seem to indicate she’s
on the right career track.
She is a member of the
National Honor Society
with advanced placement
courses on her transcript
and more than 700 hours
of community service
adorning her resume. She
volunteers at NorthShore
University HealthSystem
— Glenbrook Hospital
every Thursday. She is a
Habitat for Humanity student
leader. Three years
ago, she went to Haiti on a
service project.
The extracurricular list
goes on and on: Model
United Nations, girls golf,
Society of Women Engineers.
But Back won’t be returning
to GBS for her
senior year because she
is confronted with a road
block: the Trump administration’s
immigration
policy.
Back has determined
that if she is to make her
dream become reality, her
only option is to take a
detour to Canada to finish
high school, attend college
and medical school, and
eventually become a Canadian
citizen.
“I was born in (South)
Korea,” Back said. “I came
here on July 1, 2009, and
this is my ninth year here,
which means I’ve lived
half my life in the U.S.
My mom came with me
with the goal of finishing
her education and learning
English.
“We came legally, first
with a visitor’s visa and
then I transitioned to an S2
visa. Until April, I thought
I’d finish my high-school
education at GBS and enroll
in college in the U.S.”

our residents develop relationships
with our fire,
police and public works
staff that serve them 24-
7-365,” she said. “I know
our staff enjoys it because
they are proud of the
work they do and love
sharing it with the community.”
The Touch a Truck
event was part of the
Northfield Park District’s
Market and Music held
every Wednesday this
summer at Clarkson Park.
The Touch a Truck event
was the entertainment on
July 11 and there is different
entertainment each
week.
There is also a concert
held each week at the market
and Dick Holliday and
the Bamboo Gang played
on July 11.
In addition, several local
businesses were at the
farmers market including
Taco Nano, Sweet Time
Café, Arlington Crest
Farms, The Cheese People,
All About Appetizers,
Living Hope Farm, Northfield
Lions Club, Northview
Bank and Trust,
Home Décor Store and
Studio and Ten Ninety
Brewing Company.
“It’s great family entertainment,”
said Nada
Becker, Northfield Park
District communications
and marketing manager.
“People can support local
businesses, get specialty
foods and produce from
the farm and it’s a different
day and time than a
lot of the other markets.
We’re getting a great response.
A lot of families
come out. Each week is a
little bit different.”
This year is the Northfield
Park District’s inaugural
Market and Music.
The previous Northfield
Farmers Market, hosted
by the Winnetka-Northfield
Chamber of Commerce,
was held on Saturdays
at New Trier’s
Northfield campus. It is
no longer being held at
that location as New Trier
is constructing new tennis
courts in the area where
the farmers market was
held. The chamber moved
its farmers market to the
Winnetka Village Hall
this year.

Northfield Caucus starts Village trustee slating process
Applications are
due on Aug. 27
SUBMITTED CONTENT
The Northfield Village
Caucus has initiated its
slating process for the next
round of Village leadership
elections to be held in
April 2019.
Jonathan Don, chairman
of the Northfield Village
Caucus, announced the
commencement of the public
process. Residents of the
Village of Northfield are invited
to the Caucus website
(northfieldcaucus.com) to
view the information package
available for interested
prospective candidates.
In the April 2019 elections,
Village residents will
vote for three Village trustees
each serving a term of
four years. These positions
are currently held by John
Gregorio, Allan Kaplan
and Thomas Roszack.
Don invited all Village
residents to work with the
Northfield Caucus in identifying
potential candidates
for these significant
positions.
“There has been so much
progress in Northfield over
the last few years with the
care and attention being
given to the road system
and increasing quality of
storm water management,
yet there is much to be
done in building the identity
and long term view of
this wonderful community,”
Don said.
In a non-partisan way,
the Caucus assembles the
ideas and concerns of village
residents and distills
them into basic policy and
goals. The summarized
Platform serves as a guide
for the selection of Trustee
candidates who are compatible
with the tenets of
the Platform.
On Sept. 11-13, the Caucus
will interview prospective
candidates and vote on
the slate of candidates to
be put forward to the village
for consideration in
the elections.
Nominating Committee
chairman Al Chircop
visit us online at WINNETKACURRENT.com
asks Village residents,
“to come forward in leading
this positive agenda.
Northfield has a great spirit,
perfect location and its
infrastructure make it an
ideal location. The Village
finances are in a strong
position. This is an ideal
environment for Village
leadership to take Northfield’s
attractiveness to
another level. With the talent
base in our community,
we have been fortunate to
have found such leaders in
the past. With effort and a
little bit of luck, we look
forward to this continuing
in the next round of elections.
We should not take
our past success in finding
strong non-partisan leaders
for granted. We must
work at it.”
Village residents interested
in being considered
for the positions of Village
trustee are invited to complete
the questionnaire and
return it to the Caucus. The
deadline for applications
to be considered for slating
by the Caucus is Aug. 27.
Please consider this opportunity
to be slated as a
candidate for the Village
Board or to recommend
to the Caucus a Village
resident who would be a
potentially attractive candidate.
If you are interested
in Caucus membership,
please contact the Caucus.
It also welcome any
cash contributions for support
of our communications

mail and surveys. Email

Winnetka event
Submitted by PAWS
Chicago
On July 7, 30 dogs and
cats from PAWS Chicago
were adopted during the
Angels with Tails Winnetka
adoption event.
On this July day, adopters
strolled through 38
participating storefronts
and sidewalks in the heart
of Winnetka to meet the
many homeless pets available
for adoption.
PAWS Chicago and six
local rescue organizations
teamed up to bring the
faces of Chicago’s homeless
animals to the heart
of Winnetka along Lincoln
Avenue, Elm Street
and Chestnut Street. Those
organizations included:
As Good as Gold Golden
Retriever Rescue of IL,
Evanston Animal Shelter,
Greater Chicago Cavalier
Rescue, Heartland Animal
Shelter, St. Sophia’s
Forgotten Felines and
Yorkshire Terrier National
Rescue.
In all, PAWS Chicago
launched its inaugural Angels
with Tails adoption
evet in 1998 to help end
the tragic euthanasia epidemic
in the city of Chicago
by showcasing the
wonderful shelter animals
in need of a loving home.
Its goal is to both save
lives through adoption and
raise awareness around the
issue of pet overpopulation
and the needless killing of
homeless animals.

Submitted by Regina
Dominican
Regina Dominican
High School has selected
Dr. Kathleen Porreca as
the new principal of the
60-year-old all-girls, college
preparatory Catholic
high school.
“Regina Dominican is a
leading academic institution
and has empowered
decades of women through
its strong educational values
and exceptional leadership,”
Porreca said. “It’s
an honor to be the new
principal of this historic
institution, and I look forward
to building on the
school’s treasured past by
guiding new educational
opportunities for the next
generation of female leaders.”
Porreca comes to Regina

interim principal of Hales
Franciscan Catholic High
School; the principal and
director of the University
of Illinois Laboratory High
School; a research specialist
at the Center for Education

Oak Park Conservatory.
She has received numerous
personal accolades
throughout her career, including
being named on

“Throughout the thorough

Dr. Porreca quickly distinguished
herself among a
group of highly qualified
candidates,” said Elizabeth

qualities and characteristics
reflected the values and vision
desired by the Adrian
Dominican congregation,
faculty, staff, students, parents,
and alumnae.”
Members of the Regina
community participated
throughout the interview
process and their input was
key in the selection decision.
The interview committee
was impressed by
Porreca’s experience in
creating top performing
learning environments, her
passion for both learning
and educating, and her vision
for data-based solutions
and modern administrative
methods.

Contributing Columnist
Do you know anyone
under the age
of 40 who has a
landline phone?
In just a few years,
cellphones followed by
email, Facebook, texting,
Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat
and Facetime have
replaced the home phone
which dominated personal
communications for the
entire 20th century.
Winnetka’s first phone
exchange started exactly
in 1900 with 68 phones.
This first switchboard
was located on the southeast
corner of Elm and
Lincoln. Some of the 68
first phone lines included
prominent Winnetkans,
such as Greeley, deWindt
and Hoyt.
Unlike social media today,
the growth in phones
was locally driven, one
community at a time.
Before direct dialing
became available,
the Winnetka operators
connected the parties by
name. The first phone
number, Winnetka 1 was
given to Vollman Meat
Market, which became
446-0001, a number held
by descendants of the
Vollman family until it
was transferred to the
Winnetka Historical Society
in 2001.
The phone exchange
and operators prospered
from 1932-1948 at the
southwest corner of Linden
and Oak. During that
time, the number of lines
grew from 5,000 to 7,500.
In 1947, the area code
numbering system was
A photo of telephone operators in Bell Telephone
Magazine. Photo Submitted
established which led to
the ability for direct long
distance dialing. The Chicago
area got one of the
first, 312. As the number
of phones grew, additional
area codes were needed.
In 1996, 847 was reserved
for the northern suburbs.
The mandatory 11 digit
dialing for all local calls
happened in 2002.
And how about phone
books? Some would say
they were the most valuable
book in the house.
They not only had phone
numbers, but current
addresses, useful yellow
pages (“let your fingers
do the walking”), detailed
street maps for the local
communities and sometimes
special pages for
common numbers and
emergencies.
And who remembers
being able to dial “0” and
get help finding a number
or address for someone
you couldn’t find in the
directory — for free?
Phone books also were
important as a way to
keep accurate records on
who and how many lived
in their communities, as
well as the businesses
that populated the town.

We don’t call
The Winnetka
Current a community
newspaper for
nothing.
While I have a calendar
of events on my desk
and a list of story ideas
accumulating, without
your unique stories and
contributions, it’s difficult
to properly operate and
produce the paper you
deserve each and every
week. I need to hear from
you, the community!
To continue the success
of The Current, here’s
some items you can send
me today to help:
1. Pet of the Week
Submit a photo and a
brief write-up on your
furry friend at home for
this weekly feature. And
I’m not just talking about
the pups — send me your
photo and story of your
cat, bird, hamster, fish,
phone
From Page 24
Society has many of the
directories produced since
1900, some of which are
on our website.
So it is impossible to
overestimate what home
phones meant to a local
community. It really was
the only way to communicate
in a timely fashion.
Phone numbers were
important. Even today, do
hedgehog or whatever
else you may have. All I
need is a couple sentences
about your pet and
a photo — it’s not ruff!
Give them the fame they
deserve on Page 6. We’re
almost out of entries!
2. Community calendar
submissions
If you took a look
at my desk, you’d find
a large calendar blotter.
I’ve scratched all
the events I’ve found
across the month, but I’m
always looking for more
things to cover and get
out to. Get your event in
Winnetka or Northfield
listed on my calendar
and more importantly the
community’s on Page 2
every week.
3. School news and
sports briefs
Before the school year
begins, give your child
some recognition in our
school news or sports
briefs section. Did they
make the dean’s list this
year at college? Graduate
with honors? Were they
recognized with an award
at New Trier, NSCDS or
Loyola? Make a special
team? Send me a brief
write-up about their
accolades and I’ll get it
published for you to hang
you still remember any of
your friend’s numbers?
Of course, now it is
difficult to get someone
to answer a phone call,
even (especially) when
they know who is calling.
Remember before Caller
ID and voicemail, when
you wouldn’t think of not
answering a phone call
for fear of missing an
important call?
Maybe I am nostalgic,
but I sometimes miss the
on your fridge.
4. Letter to the Editor
Have an opinion on
something in the community?
Want to get your
voice heard? Write me a
letter and I’ll publish it
in our Sound Off section
(this page). There are
some rules, though. Make
sure you take a peek at
the policy in the lower
right box.
5. Faith Briefs
We’re looking to
expand our faith section
in Life & Arts. I ask you
that you send me your
upcoming events at your
churches and temples.
We’ll help you get the
word out and be in touch
about possible newspaper
coverage.
6. Photos and Announcements
As much as I wish we
could be at everything in
Winnetka and Northfield,
it’s impossible with our
small team. If you have a
photograph from an event
we didn’t make it out to
or even something you
find unique in your neighborhood,
send it along
to get published! I also
accept your engagement,
wedding, anniversary and
baby announcements —
for free!
magic of a long awaited
call on a home phone. And
that phone book ... which
in many ways was the
social network of its day.
The Winnetka Historical
Society promotes
awareness of Winnetka’s
heritage through artifact
preservation, public access
to their museum and
Schmidt-Burnham Log
House, and enlightening
programs, exhibits and
publications.
I hope you will consider
taking a couple
minutes right now to send
me an email submission
at megan@winnetkacurrent.com.
Thank you to all
those you have already
reached out to introduce
themselves! I’m looking
forward to hearing from
the rest of you readers.

Kids learn the importance of pet care at Wags on Willow

Local young animal lovers
got the rundown on the
basics of pet care, thanks
to the professionals at
Wags on Willow.
The Northfield boutique
and groomer offered Pet
Care for Kids sessions this
summer. Classes were held
from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
June 26 and July 10 at 300
N. Happ Road.
One more session is
open and accepting registrations
on Aug. 7. Those
interested should call the
store to sign up at (847)
272-2918.
Wags on Willow began
offering this unique series
last summer, said Mary
Bowler, the store owner.
“It’s a way to interact
and educate the community,”
Bowler said. “We use
our vet partnerships and
bring in speakers for the
local children.”
On July 10, a group of
children and teens learned
what happens during their
pet’s physical exam from
veterinarian Dr. Sarah
Blose and technician Nancy
Bell, both of Terry Animal
Hospital in Wilmette.
Blose performed the
exam on Bell’s pug,
8-year-old Libby.
“In these exams, we
check to see that they don’t
have any parasites and no
lumps or bumps,” Blose
told the intimate crowd.
“We also take a blood sample
to check for heartworm
disease.”
Using a stethoscope to
measure Libby’s heart rate,
Blose also explained heart
rates are higher in pugs and
smaller dogs than larger
dogs and even humans. She
also performed an orthopedic
exam and explained the
physicality of a pug.
“[Dogs] have to pant to
cool off because they do
not sweat,” Blose said.
“Pugs shouldn’t go out in
the heat really at all because
they do not have an
efficient nose, making it
difficult to pant and cool
off.”
Since Libby performs
in competitions, her owner
Bell explained what it
takes to win ribbons (of
which, she has many).
“They have to be very
fast and agile to do jumps,
walks, hurdles and tunnels,”
she said. “She has
to pay attention. We have
that special bond, too, so
she trusts me to lead her.”
During the session, Bell
hid a small tin can of birch
under a chair and Libby
had to sniff to find it outside.
In less than two minutes,
she located it and the
crowd applauded and each
fed her a small treat.
Since the treats were
so small, Blose said it
was OK to feed her more
than one, but pet owners
should avoid giving their
dogs sugar. She also asked
the crowd what else they
should stay away from.
Answers included: Grapes,
raisins, sweets, garlic, onions
and corn cobs.
Following a few more
questions, the group made
their way over to nearby
Rocky Mountain Chocolate
Factory to make dog
treats under the direction
of manager Alysia Bridges.
After dipping bones in
white chocolate (a safe
chocolate derivative), the
kids decorated them for
their furry friends.
Northfield’s Aiden Andrew
took his time personalizing
the bones with his
dog’s name, Oliver. Other
attendees, like brothers
Charlie and Will Whittaker,
dedicated theirs to

Also in the group was
the Koss siblings, Lily and
Carter, of Winnetka. They
enjoyed the class because
they have two dogs at
home.
“I really want to be
a veterinarian so that’s
why I was interested in
this,” added Ben Weiss, of
Northbrook.
Bowler said the next
session will host an veterinarian
from BluePearl,
a specialty and emergency
pet hospital on West Frontage
Road in Northfield.
The first summer session
welcomed Becker Animal
Hospital in Northfield.

himself in the farming and
equestrian community.
At the same time, he actively
renovated buildings
in the small historic town.
His drive for atypical
and interesting ventures
lead him to invest in a
railway.
In the late 1990’s friends
led him to Los Olivos,
where he and his wife ultimately
built their final
home and where he enjoyed
soaking in the history
of the western United
States, riding horses, and
exploring plant nurseries.
Both Chapman and
his wife Ann, of 54 years,

Quick Bites
Dishes from across the globe
Staff Report
Seven editors. Seven
countries. Seven days.
This week, 22nd Century
Media editors tasked
ourselves with scouring
the North Shore for the
top dishes from across the
world, from Mexico and
Colombia to Italy and Armenia,
and our local restaurants
didn’t disappoint.
These dishes aren’t
bland knockoffs; they
started out as family recipes
refined over the years
and passed from generation
to generation. And
now, they’re all available
to you.
We sampled seven
unique dishes from seven
unique locales and reported
back with what we
found.
The Usual Suspect —
Hofherr Meat Co.,
Northfield
Hofherr Meat Co. is an
establishment that labels
itself as more than an average
butcher shop, with
the goal of letting customers
sample true American
cuisine.
Located in downtown
Northfield, the shop is a
blend of classic American
and modern styles — both
in terms of decor and in
terms of the food.
Upon asking for the
most popular American
dish that the establishment
served, I was recommended
a dish called The Usual
Suspect.
The sandwich has beef
pastrami, corned beef, organic
swiss cheese and
yellow mustard wedged
between two slices of rye
bread and served with a
crunchy, salty pickle.
When asked about what
The Usual Suspect ($10.22) has beef pastrami and corned beef at Hofherr Meat Co.,
Northfield. Erica Gelman/22nd Century Media
makes the sandwich special,
General Manager
Emily Cushing said its
freshness makes both The
Usual Suspect and Hofherr
Meat Co. stand apart from
other similar sandwiches
and establishments.
“What’s special is we
actually make the corned
beef and the pastrami here
in-house,” Cushing said.
“We do a lot of our deli
meats in-house and that’s
sort of our niche here since
we know what we are
making, you know what
you are consuming.”
Cushing called the mix
between the freshly made
corned beef and baked
bread from Gonella bakery
“a very happy marriage.”
After tasting the dish, I
couldn’t help but agree.
Cushing labels Hofherr
as an “artisan butcher
shop” and said despite
serving many dishes that
would be categorized as
American, inspiration is
drawn from many different
cuisines.
“We have kimchi here,
our head butcher is from
Poland, and so we have
a lot of his recipes here.
We do have a lot of classical
American-style stuff,
but a lot of our influences
do come from around the
world,” Cushing said. “We
don’t wanna be stuck in no
one bracket.”
Perhaps American cuisine
mimics American culture
in the way that it, like
its people, is a mixed bag.
“We have a lot of diverse
customers coming
through and we want to be
able to have a nice array
of product that everyone
can choose from,” Cushing
said “We want to help
them find the product that
they can cook and make.”
Hofherr Meat Co. is
located at 300 N. Happ
Road, Northfield. For

Pate a la maison — Frank
& Betsie’s, Glencoe
No time to travel to
France? Travel to Frank
& Betsie’s in Glencoe instead.
A cozy bistro located at
51 Green Bay Road, the
restaurant has become a
mainstay of the Glencoe
dining scene.
Frank & Betsie’s began
34 years ago in Highland
Park under the name
Maison de Patisserie. The
eponymous couple opened
the current Glencoe incarnation
22 years ago.
Frank & Betsie’s outdoor
seating patio often attracts
customers who want
to dine al fresco during the
warmer months.
“We’re busy for lunch
and dinner in the summer
— there’s a demand for
sitting outdoors,” manager
Michael Sheibani said.
Frank & Betsie’s, however,
differentiates itself in
more ways than one.
According to owner
The chilled tantan dish ($13.50) at Wilmette’s Torino
Ramen is only available during the summer months.
Eric DeGrechie/22nd Century Media
Frank Zadeh, the restaurant
stands out by preparing
a dinner menu entirely
different from the lunch
menu. Frank & Betsie’s
offers selections from
French and Californian
cuisine, such as various
lunch quiches and Betsie’s
homemade desserts.
One of the bistro’s most
quintessentially French
dishes, the famous pate a la
maison, arranges chicken
liver pate with a sumptuous
spread of bread, Dijon
mustard, beets, cucumber
slices, tomatoes, olives
and capers. Each morsel
complements the pate’s
flavor, from the tang of the
Dijon to the crunch of the
bread to the fresh rain flavor
of the cucumber.
According to patrons
Marc Ringel, formerly of
Glencoe, and Peter Friend,
of Deerfield, the Talk of
the Town salad and the
cold cucumber soup are
also good options.
“Repeat customers have
supported us for many
years,” Zadeh said. “We
really appreciate it.”
Frank & Betsie’s is open
for lunch and dinner 11
a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 5-8:30
p.m. Monday-Saturday,
respectively. For more information,
call (847) 446-

Chilled tantan — Torino
Ramen, Wilmette
Japan, especially in the
summer, can get very hot
and humid. Residents of
the country often look for
relief from an unexpected
place — ramen.
Traditionally served hot,
cold ramen is all the rage
as the temperatures go up.
Tomoko Florida, one of
the owners of Wilmette’s
Torino Ramen, grew up
in Tokyo. She encourages
diners at her restaurant to
sample the chilled tantan
dish ($13.50).
“Our signature tantan
is very popular and we
make it sesame-based
from scratch,” Florida
said. “We’re very proud
of tantan, which is made
with a hot noodle, but we
want people to try this cold
one.”
The hot tantan dish is
served with sesame seed,
chicken broth, nikumiso
(sweet and spicy ground
pork), organic soft-boiled
egg, bok choy, menma
(a condiment made from
bamboo shoots), green
onions and chili oil. With
the chilled tantan, the bok
choy is replaced with cucumber
and the sauce is
tweaked a bit for a cooling
effect.
Having now tried both
the hot and cold versions
of tantan, I can say Torino

the winnetka current | July 19, 2018 | 33
Ramen really raises the
taste bar with this popular
dish. With just the right
amount of spice, the creation
delivers on all cylinders.
I told Florida that I
will be returning soon with
my family.
Another summer menu
item Florida is excited
about is the poke or raw
fish salad. Florida said Torino
Ramen created a basic
recipe that is “traditional
and simple.” Ahi poke is
among the most requested
items by customers.
In addition to the regular
restaurant seating, Torino
Ramen, which opened at
the beginning of 2017, features
a patio and also offers
a take-out menu.

Chicken Calabrese —
Francesco’s Hole in the
Wall, Northbrook
Few go as far as Francesco’s
Hole in the Wall
owner Frank Gillo to provide
customers with authentic
ingredients, but
Gillo knows the value in
going the extra mile.
Francesco’s imports
peppers, artichokes and olives,
to name a few, from
Italy, so its cuisine has
that true Italian taste. With
passed down family recipes
from all over the country,
it’s easy to see why the
restaurant has become a
Northbrook favorite.
The menu changes daily
to accommodate for fresh
ingredients, and is written
on a whiteboard with some
staples that stay on the
board for a while. One of
the special entrees served
at dinner is the chicken
Calabrese ($24.95), a dish
that showcases that authentic
Italian flavor.
A baked chicken is
topped with red, green and
yellow peppers to provide
some various flavors, including
some kick. The
chicken is topped with
extra virgin olive oil and
served with potatoes as
each bite boasts freshness.
If you’re looking for
authentic Italian cuisine,
look no farther than Francesco’s,
which offers a
wide array of salads, pastas
and entrees. Looking
for a special experience?
Ask to make a reservation
for a table in the kitchen to
get the full experience —
reservations are usually
made months in advance.
Francesco’s Hole in the
Wall is open for lunch
11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. on
Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday and 11:30 a.m.-
2:15 p.m. on Friday. For

Colombian empanadas —
Longitud315, Highwood
On just about every street
corner in Colombia, there’s
someone selling empanadas.
The fried dough with
an assortment of fillings is
a staple of South American
street food, and Longitud315,
a South American
restaurant in Highwood,
offers a variety of them.
“One of the things that
really distinguish the
empanadas in Colombia
to any other country is the
fact that in Colombia they
fry the empanadas, so they
are crispy on the outside,
but really moist inside,”
said Tony Castillo, the executive
chef and co-owner
of the restaurant.
The restaurant also features
empanadas in Venezuelan,
Argentinian, Peruvian
and Brazilian styles,
but they’re baked in an
oven rather than fried.
The Colombian empanadas
are made with a corn
dough, which also sets
them apart from empanadas
made in other countries
that are traditionally
made with a flour dough,
and the filling is comprised
of shredded brisket
and potatoes, which are
cooked together.
“If you’re in Colombia,
this is the kind of empanada
you’re going to find
there,” Castillo said.
To further celebrate
Colombian cuisine, the
restaurant is planning on
hosting its second annual
Colombian Week from
August 19-26.
In preparation for its
Colombian Week, the restaurant
will welcome guest
chef Michael Caro, from
Bogota, Colombia, for
the next month. They’re
also planning on flying out
Santiago Romero, a chef at
Restaurant Harry Sasson
in Cartagena, Colombia.
“What’s so great about
Longitud315 is how many
people that are from South
America, they come here
because they want to have
a taste of home away from
home,” manager Gina
Troiani said.
Colombian empanadas
are available from Longitud315
for $3.50 each, or
$16.95 for five.

Burrito — The Otherdoor,
Lake Bluff
The Otherdoor, a Mexican
restaurant located in
Lake Bluff, leaves its fresh
and all-natural ingredients
in the hands of customers
to create their own flavorful
burrito or mini bowl.
The ingredients are procured
from local producers,
according to Louise
Turcios, an employee at
the Otherdoor.
“The [guacamole] and
pico (de gallo) is freshly
cut and sliced, and prepared
by us,” Turcios said.
But their specialty
comes in the form of
sauce.
“Where it really hits
home is the sauces, the
sauce really is the boss,
people love it,” Turcios
said.
The Otherdoor has an
entire menu dedicated to
the vast array of sauces,
ranking from mild to hot
or 1-10. Among the many
sauces are limoncitos, being
the most mild with
lemons, oregano, onions
and avocado, and the hottest
sauce, la malinche,
with roasted habanero,
smoky cumin and Japanese
citrus. There is a
sauce for everyone.
I stopped in to see what
the craze was all about
and built my own burrito
($8.95). I filled my burrito
with duck, potatoes,
pico de gallo, sour cream,
cheese, white rice, onions
and peppers.
The pico de gallo was
the most dominant flavor,
while the duck and potatoes
melted in my mouth.
The Otherdoor is open
11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m.
Monday-Wednesday, 11
a.m.-10 p.m. Thursday-
Saturday and noon-9 p.m.

traditional sports, but can

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Brian Sitzer
The New Trier rising senior
is a running back on
the football team.
When and why did
you start playing
football?
I started playing football
in fifth grade. I used
to play hockey when I was
younger but my dad convinced
me to give football
a shot. I ended up quitting
hockey to play football in
high school.
What’s one thing
people don’t know
about you?
I’ve liked playing chess
ever since I picked it up in
elementary school. I still
play some of my friends
once in a while on an app
on my phone. I would like
to say I’m all right at it.
What’s one item on
your bucket list?
I’d love to go skydiving.
I think it’s so cool. I hope I
have the opportunity to do
that down the road.
If you could travel
anywhere, where
would you go?
I’d love to travel to Australia
at some point. Everyone
I’ve talked to who
has visited there says it
was one of the best vacations
they’ve ever taken.
I’ve only been out of the
country a couple times so I
think going somewhere far
would be awesome.
If you had $3 at
Walgreens, what
would you buy?
I’d buy a bag of barbecue
chips and a bottle of
water.
What’s the best part
about being a New
Trier athlete?
I love the competitive attitude
that all of the teams
have. At New Trier, no
one settles for losing. Every
team at NT goes into
a game expecting to win.
I love being a part of that.
What’s the best advice
you’ve gotten and
who’s it from?
All of the coaches I’ve
had over the years have
taught me the importance
of making a good first impression.
It has become
more and more important
lately.
If you could play
another sport (other
than lacrosse), what
would it be and why?
22nd Century Media File Photo
I would 100 percent play
basketball. I was never
good at it growing up. I
think it’s such a fast paced,
exciting sport and I love to
watch it.
What’s been your
favorite moment at
New Trier?
My favorite moments at
New Trier have been playing
on the same teams as
my two brothers. I played
on the same lacrosse team
as my older brother, Michael,
for two years and
this year I’m playing on
the same football team as
my younger brother, P.J. I
think it’s a pretty unique
experience to have played
with both of my brothers at
some point in high school
and I’m grateful for it.
If you could have a
superpower, what
would it be and why?
That’s a tough one...I
wish I could fly. You can’t
really go wrong with that
one.

Alumni Spotlight
New Trier grad Dunn overcomes odds at Knox College
Going Places
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
It’s not often that a backup becomes
a college stalwart. But
that’s exactly the case when New
Trier graduate Justin Dunn headed
off to NCAA Division III Knox
College in the summer of 2015.
Knox, who had been a backup
goalie at New Trier, not only got
the opportunity to play in college,
but also earned the starting nod in
goal as a freshman.
“That’s just the DIII extremes,
sometimes an opportunity like that
can happen for someone,” Dunn
said. “I mean I had some Division
I looks, but I would have just been
probably sitting on the bench for
four years of college, and I know I
didn’t want to do that again.”
The Wilmette native has had a
lot of success and almost immediately.
Dunn started 16 of the 17
games he played in his freshman
season, 18 of the 19 in his sophomore
season and 18 of 18 this
year.
As time has gone along, his
stats have improved, as he gave
up 0.98 goals per game his freshman
season, 0.79 sophomore year
and 0.64 this past season. He’s
also been a part of 22 shutouts in
his three years, 18 of which have
come the past two seasons, including
10 in 2017.
“My willingness to work pretty
hard and stuff, it helped me out a
lot,” he said about how he’s been
successful thus far. “I mean I’m
always in the weight room, out
running. Trying to strive to make
myself better every single time.
“That’s what makes soccer so
great, it’s such a great sport, because
all eyes are on ... especially
soccer on the goalkeeper. All eyes
are on the goal keeper, because if
you make a save you’re the hero,
but if you let it go in, you become
... You can go from hero to zero,
just like that, so it’s embracing
that pressure and really taking it.”
While Knox has gone undefeated
in conference the past two
seasons and only gave up one goal
in conference play this season — a
Knox College’s Justin Dunn, a New Trier graduate, leaps to make a
save during a game. PHOTO SUBMITTED
fluke goal by Lawrence University
that Dunn says happened because
a Lawrence player tapped the ball
around a diving Dunn — the Prairie
Fire have yet to make an NCAA
Tournament in program history
and will be looking to do so behind
a team that loses only eight seniors
off of a 30-plus player squad.
But in addition to that, Dunn, a
double major in math and secondary
education, has some work to
finish in both the classroom and in
the forest as well. For the past seven
years, Dunn, who will student
teach at Evanston High school in
the winter, has been an aquatics
instructor at a boy scout camp at
the MaKaJaWan Reservation in
Pearson, Wis. This year, he is running
everything having to do with
water on the lake that’s on the reservation.
The land is two areas, a
fleet of 20 sail boats, 40 canoes,
20 rowboats, around 50 kayaks, so
he’s basically running everything
from swimming to life saving and
since it’s a boy scout camp, they
take merit badges.
“My dad was on staff in the
‘70s, on the aquatics staff as well
and so when I was old enough,
he would bring me up here and
I’d help him repair sailboats and
stuff,” Dunn said. “But also when
I was old enough he had me join
boy scouting, I got into cub scouting
and boy scouting.
“I achieved my eagle scout, but
when I was old enough, when I
was 14, my dad had me apply to
work here. I got accepted when I
was 15 and I started working here
and seven years later, I’m 21 and
I’m still working here and I’m
loving it. Every single day.”
The camp lasts pretty much
the entire summer, so Dunn will
essentially spend the entire summer
at the camp. He says by the
time he returns, he’ll have about a
week-and-a-half before preseason
workouts start. But working these
camps has helped him prepare for
his future in education and working
with kids of all ages.
“I’ve definitely learned teaching
skills,” he said. “Dealing in camp
with scouts that are home sick or
I’ve learned strategies, for accommodating
troops or accommodating
a scout that has never looked
or jumped in the water before, so
taking a scout at the beginning of
the week that swam probably once
in his life in the pool to becoming
like a full on swimmer at the end
of the week.
“The staff are all best friends, like
our second family. We’re just so
close knit and we just keep in touch
with each other, because we know
that the eight weeks that we’re up
here, it’s the only eight weeks we’re
going to get to spend with them for
a whole year, so we just become
such great friends. And that’s what
just brings me back.”

NT’s Kirby gets late start,
ready for new challenge
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
A year ago, Jenn Kirby
wasn’t even thinking about
playing field hockey in college.
In fact, it wasn’t until a
teammate her sophomore year
asked whether she thought she
was going to play in college.
“A teammate asked me, like,
‘Do you think you’re going to
play in college?’” she said. “I
was like, ‘What?’ I think it was
sophomore year and I was like,
‘I can do that? That’s an option?’
Now Kirby is getting ready
for her freshman year of college
after signing with Rhodes
College this past school year.
Kirby, who chose Rhodes
over the University of Rochester
and Stevens Institute of
Technology, knew she wanted
go to the school right outside
of Memphis right away because
of the team, coaches
and overall atmosphere of the
campus.
Throughout her childhood,
Kirby had always been a soccer
player and envisioned herself
playing the sport. Field
hockey wasn’t something she
had really looked into seriously
until her freshman year.
“It’s kind of funny because
freshman year, going into
freshman year, I was like, ‘I’m
a soccer player. I love soccer,’”
she said. “Then I went through
my freshman year season and
I was like, ‘Never mind. Field
hockey’s better.’”
Even though she ended up
quitting soccer, it was the sport
she played since he first grade
that helped her succeed at field
hockey.
“The 11 v 11 is the same and
the positioning is very similar
so I understood passing and
field awareness and how to run,
which really helps,” Kirby said.
Kirby played the center
mid(field) and right forward
positions for the Trevians,
something she hopes to continue
when she gets to Rhodes.
She’s not sure what position
she’ll play when she gets to
college, but is hoping to play
either midfield or forward.
But before Kirby gets to
Memphis, she has something
she needs to take care of.
“My goal is to be the fastest
freshman. I want to show up
and be at the front of the pack
because it shows if you’re
working hard you maybe will
get a spot on the field.”

Loyola regroups for summer after third-place finish
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
The Loyola girls lacrosse team
took third place in the inaugural
IHSA state lacrosse tournament
in July, something that they team
hadn’t been used to. After winning
nine consecutive state titles
prior to 2018, the Ramblers are
looking to regroup and get back
to being on top of the mountain.
Sports Editor Michael Wojtychiw
caught up with coach John
Dwyer at a team’s summer league
game and had a chance to talk
2018 and beyond.
The Current: How do you guys
use the summer league and
summer practices?
John Dwyer: It’s really important.
The most important thing for
me is, you know, the varsity kids,
they’re ... 90 percent of them are
playing club or going to college
camps or whatever. We’ve got
probably two-thirds of our varsity
kids are in camp. But, you know,
Annabelle (Burke) and Ellie (Lazzaretto)
are at Princeton. You
know, we had kids at Notre Dame
camp last week, we have kids going
to Northwestern camps next
week. Lauryn (Repp) is at Denver’s
camp.
So, for the varsity, it’s just kind
of keep your skills sharp and keep
playing together, but what’s really
important for me in the last
couple of summers is trying to
figure out, to see how the kids
have played on JV last year. Depending
on how many spots we
have to give any, or how those
kids looked playing at this level.
If kids want to, they can get a
lot out of the summer camp that
we do. Because, we work on
some things, we do a lot of things.
Competitive drills, we do, we try
to make as many games out of
things as we can. But, like next
week we’ll get into stuff where
we work on certain aspects of
our offense, like we can’t do it
as good as Holecek does because
their camp leads right up to their
season, you know?
But, you know, there’s things
we want to work on a certain type
of offense, or a certain type of
play, or a certain type of defensive
set or something like that.
WC: Go through state finals
weekend.
JD: That semifinal game isn’t
how we play. Throw the ball
away. That was frustrating. I
know we were prepared for that
game, we were really well prepared.
We had four weeks to
prepare for Hinsdale. And, we
did everything right in preparation.
Anticipate. They made a lot
of uncharacteristic mistakes that
they don’t ... Maybe they were a
little tight, I don’t know.
WC: Have you had that many
kids coming back before?
JD: No. No this would be the
most we’ve ever had. You know,
and this is the year to beat us, I
guess, probably, but what I felt
bad was this team did everything
right. We lost some games
in D.C. that we’ve learned from.
But we beat some really good
teams down the stretch. Eden
Prairie and that team from Cathedral,
Indiana was pretty good, and
we beat New Trier, you know, we
did everything right. I still think
we were the best team. But, Hinsdale
was the hot team at the right
time. And credit to them, I mean
they beat us and they crushed
New Trier.
WC: What have you seen from
the kids they’ve been able to
play this summer?
JD: You can just tell, especially
the younger ones, you can tell
that they’re more confident. ... I
was just telling them, you know,
play confidently, especially because
it’s the summer. Don’t be
tentative, don’t be hesitant. You
know, make aggressive mistakes.
And, I think that they pick up different
techniques and stuff.

New Trier girls soccer buys into summer
Michael Wojtychiw, Sports Editor
New Trier’s girls soccer team,
is coming off of its second consecutive
second-place finish at
the state tournament, and as with
many years, lose many key players
from the previous season.
Sports editor Michael Wojtychiw
caught up with coach Jim
Burnside to see how the team’s
doing this summer.
The Current: What do you guys
use summer for, exactly?
Jim Burnside: Yes, we do a
camp. Twelve days of mornings.
We do upper classmen
from six to eight, and our freshmen
from eight to ten. Really,
those are just training. Games,
I wanna say small sided games,
fun games. We work mainly
on individual skills, individual
moves, learning to head the ball,
shots. Stuff that is not as much
the team oriented stuff that we
have to work on in the season.
And everybody’s at different
levels, so sometimes it’s hard to
play games, because you have so
many different levels. But individually,
you can always work to
get better on something that you
need to get better on.
I talked to the seniors a lot of
times, say “What do you guys
want to work on?” I always see
kids get better in certain ways,
because they’ll come back and
say something to the effect of, “I
really didn’t even know how to
chip a ball until my sophomore
summer.” It’s really good to be
able to work on those in a mellow
environment, not prepping
for the next game in 42 degree
weather. It’s our time for our seniors
to step up and start to lead.
The first two, three days of our
summer program, always we do
a warm up and the seniors lead it.
Well, our new seniors are looking
for our old seniors to do it.
It was just looking around like,
“Guess what girls? This is your
baby now.” So, it’s individual
and it is some fun. It’s laid-back.
WC: Do you guys mix up
the teams, like freshmen,
sophomores, juniors?
JB: We want to get looks at
people in different spots, so it’s
pretty fluid. We generally put all
the freshmen on one team and
we’ll say, “We know some of
you are at this level, and some
of you are at different levels, but
it’s okay to play together.” You
come in and make sure everybody’s
starting from square one.
I would hate to reward somebody
just cause they have a reputation,
and punish somebody cause they
don’t have a reputation. For the
good or the bad. The goal is to
try, and have everybody start
from square one, and everybody
will find their level, and hopefully
find fun in that process.
WC: What have you seen from
some of the players so far this
summer?
It happens every year and part
of the summer is exciting for
me, because if we didn’t do the
summer stuff, we didn’t have
a summer league I would get
to November and be thinking,
‘What are we going do?’ Wringing
my hands but we come out,
and ... Year in and year out we
got kids who buy into what
we’re trying to do and step up.
Obviously, Lily Conley, she is
a leader period and has stepped
into that role. Emma Weaver,
leader. Meghan Dwyer in the
goal, leader. So, you see them
step up. I think Fallon Warshauer
has taken a real nice leap into
that role. Then you start to see
kids that have not played very
much. Kate Sawdey, she is a senior
and she has that basketball
experience, she’s been playing
way better. I think it’s partially,
they now know they’re a senior,
they know, ‘Well, I made
it through a season, nothing bad
happened, and I know to just let
it go a little bit, and I am more
relaxed.’ It helps when the person
who is evaluating, and the
person who’s making the decisions
of playing time is calmer.
So, I’ve been very impressed
with those girls in terms of what
they’ve done and how they’ve
stepped up. Let me think, who
else? Courtney Charcut, who is
our other goal keeper, has been
playing great. There’s always
holes to fill. If we had said the
year before or two years before,
‘What are we going to do without
Bina (Saipi), and without
Kelly (Maday), Celia (Frei), and
Dani (Kaufman) in the goal?’
They do a wonderful job because
they accept responsibility
and then work their tails off. It’s
heartening for me in the summer
to see that group of kids
stepping up, cause I come out of
the summer, and I say to myself
I’m a lucky coach.

Mehta looks to spread love of racquetball
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Walk into pretty much any
gym, YMCA or athletic facility
and you’re bound to see people
playing racquetball.
The sport, which in its modern
form was founded in 1950 by
Joseph Sobek, has become more
popular since its early days but
is still a sport that hasn’t really
gained much traction.
Enter Winnetka resident, and
North Shore racquetball coach,
Alok Mehta.
The native of India hasn’t always
been a racquetball player
though. He first started playing
squash, but that changed when
he got to college in 1987. There,
at Southern New Hampshire
University, he started playing
racquetball primarily because
his school didn’t have a squash
team. After graduating and
moving to Massachusetts, Mehta
continued playing. It was also
the friendships he created playing
racquetball that kept him
coming back.
“I still played squash a little
bit, more for cross-training,
but the single biggest thing in
racquetball was the camaraderie,
the group, the friendship,
the competitive nature of the
game,” he said. “And ultimately,
the game is so fast-paced that
you get a great workout in like
an hour.”
The fast-paced game combined
with the thrill of tournaments
kept Mehta coming back
for more.
“I discovered that I could actually
– even though I became a
U.S. citizen – that I could actually
play for my home country,”
Mehta said. “So once I kind of
figured that out, my love for the
sport continued to grow.”
Mehta has never played on
racquetball’s professional tour
but he’s fine with that. The
game has allowed him to represent
the country he grew up
in: India. He represented India
at many world competitions,
including the upcoming World
Championships to be held in
late August.
Locally, he’s been named
the Illinois State Racquetball
Association’s Male Player of
the Year three times, including
2016 and 2017.
Unlike many that may play either
racquetball or any number
of sports, Mehta doesn’t train
as much as the others. He gets
to train with coaches 10 hours
a week, if he’s lucky, and that
includes the weekend.
With such limited practice
time, Mehta has learned the best
way to stay on top of his game.
“As I grow older, I figured
out time-management and discipline,”
he said. “And to be able
to use the time effectively and
get these two coaches and very
targeted training.”
Mehta knows that the sport of
racquetball isn’t as popular in
the United States as it is in other
countries and admits it may
have plateaued a bit, but there
are multiple things that can be
done to change that.
“The sport needs to start at
the high school level,” he started.
“So if the high schools have
teams and a couple racquetball
courts, I think that will dramatically
change the way the sport is
perceived in high school.
“Another thing that can also
change is folks like me and others
who love the sport, they promote
the sport out of the goodness
of their heart.
“The third thing I would add
is making racquetball a spectator
sport. Today, it really isn’t
... It’s kind of difficult to watch
because it’s like the court and
you really have to have a glass
court, and while there are some

Sports Editor
After a valiant comeback-effort
fell just short
in the first round of the
IHSA playoffs last season,
New Trier’s football team
came into the offseason
looking to build off of a
successful season. While
being limited to 25 contact
days with the team, coach
Brian Doll and his Trevians
squad made the most
of their time together, participating
in multiple 7on7
events, as well as working
on some things they hope
to implement in the upcoming
season.
“I think the main thing
we’ve been focused on is
getting adjusted, knowing
going into the summer
who our quarterback
is going to be,” Doll said.
“It’s been a little bit easier
transition offensively. And
then defensively, we’ve
had some guys back that
were key contributors for
us last year. The two corners,
Carson Kosanovich
and Donovan Perkins, Brian
Sitzer, our outside linebacker.
People with the D
line. We kind of had some
good leadership with those
position.
“We have a base package
that we always try
to get in in the summer
offensively, defensively
and special teams. And
then, we tinker around
with some of the scheme
based on the players. And
we kind of move as fast
as they can move. If they
are starting to look good
at something, we can advance
on and keep adding
to the package. If we think
we’re not doing so well in
something, it might take
another day or two to kind
of clean something up.”
Many of the players
that have been looking
good for the Trevians this
summer, including players
like Sitzer and Duke
Olges, happen to play
on both sides of the ball.
Sitzer doubles as a running
back, as well as linebacker
and Olges, who
recently committed to play
at Northwestern University
doubles as a defensive
lineman and tight end.
Playing both ways is
something that Doll feels
helps them understand
more of what’s going on
the field and they can
transfer that over when
they switch sides.
“My theory as a coach
and philosophy is get our
best players on defense
first and then if we can sub
them out offensively and
rotate,” Doll said. “We’ve
got some depth at some
of our skill positions this
year.
“So we’re rotating a lot
of guys on offense. And
that just helps, because

Brian Doll during the CSL 7on7 July 10 at Maine West in Des Plaines. Claire
Esker/22nd Century Media
if they’re not playing offense,
they jump back to
defense and help us out.
We are blessed with very
good numbers again this
year. Right now we have
about 87, 88 kids on varsity,
which is very, very
high.”
One of the 7on7 events
the team has participated
in is the annual CSL 7on7,
which includes all the
Central Suburban League
schools, as well as numerous
schools from across
the Chicago area. This
year’s field included teams
from the Chicago Public
League, Mid-Suburban
League, East Suburban
Catholic Conference, the
Catholic League and many
more.
There aren’t standings
kept in the CSL 7on7
but many teams, including
New Trier, use it as a
measuring stick for seeing
how they match up against
some of their conference
foes, as well as teams they
might not see on a normal
basis.
“It gives us an opportunity
to obviously see a
broad range of different
schools, we played Zion-
Benton, Bloom, Vernon
Hills and Highland Park,”
Doll said. “You’re going
to get a variety of different
schools that come in
and that’s a lot of fun to
see that. But I think, for us
we’re a conference on both
sides. It still has good football.
Some great rivalries.
We don’t normally play
those rivalry games right
over there, but it gives
us an opportunity to kind
of catch up and see how
other programs are in our
league.
“For us, it’s always a
good measuring stick for
us because it’s towards the
end of the summer and the
main thing you want to do
is get out there, get a little
bit better, and make sure
everybody stays healthy.”
Listen Up
“I think the single best thing I would say is
discipline.”
