Police and community join 

together for National Night Out 

Matt Huppert 

Freelance Reporter 

Members of Boy Scout Troop 324 (from left to right, 

back to front), Jackson Droll, Joey Mendez, David 

Moore, and Ryan Farrell parade the national colors toward 

City Hall while Henry Droll (not pictured) leads the 

Pledge of Allegiance Aug. 7. Claire Esker/22nd Century 

Media 

The early evening showers 

cleared just in time 

Aug. 7 for Highland Park’s 

first National Night Out 

celebration, where police 

officers, neighborhood 

groups and residents gathered 

for a festive promotion 

of a unified and safe 

community. 

Residents were encouraged 

to strike up conversations 

with law enforcement 

officers, local 

businesses and neighborhood 

organizations during 

the event set up outside of 

city hall. In addition, there 

were plenty of activities 

for attendees of all ages, 

from the more carnival attractions 

like the petting 

zoo and cop dunk tank, to 

interactive and educational 

demonstrations, such as a 

DUI driving simulation. 

The event was part of 

a nationwide campaign 

to foster a sense of local 

community and build 

on partnerships between 

police and city residents, 

Highland Park City Manager 

Ghida Neukirch said. 

The police department’s 

hosting of National Night 

Out and their involvement 

at similar festivals 

and events throughout the 

year reflect their day-today 

work to connect with 

the community on issues 

of public safety, as well as 

education, she said. 

“I think our police department 

does an outstanding 

job engaging with the 

public, and this is just another 

one of those opportunities 

for us to engage with 

[them] in a more comprehensive 

manor,” she said. 

The crowd was welcomed 

by Councilwoman 

Michelle Holleman and 

Police Chief Lou Jogmen. 

Following a ceremonial 

honor guard presentation 

from Boy Scout Troop 234, 

the Police Department’s 

own Laura Fairchild sang 

the national anthem and 

the City Manager Office’s 

Wendy Roy sang “America 

the Beautiful.” 

Jogmen told the crowd 

how their city was one of 

many around the nation 

organizing such an event 

in order to promote safety 

and neighborhood comradery. 

“Tonight, Highland Park 

joins thousands of other 

communities and millions 

of people from across the 

country in a sign of unity 

against crime,” he said. 

“This event allows police 

community partnerships 

to continue to grow, new 

relationships to form and 

encourages residents to 

take an active role in public 

safety.” 

The police department 

hoped to encourage community 

members and residents 

to take an active role 

in keeping their community 

safe, Jogman said. 

In particular, he said 

residents could discourage 

crime by taking 

simple steps like locking 

their home and car doors, 

checking in with their 

neighbors and reporting 

suspicious activity. 

“Although we go out 

each day and do our best 

work, and believe me we 

do try, our police officers 

need your help in keeping 

our community safe,” Jogman 

said. 

Juvenile Detective Eric 

Hernandez, who gamely 

participated in both the 

dunk tank and the cop vs. 

kid donut eating contest, 

said National Night Out 

and similar events can help 

community members feel 

more at ease around officers, 

and therefore more 

willing to help the department 

if needed. 

Hernandez said he 

hoped the event continued 

to build on this vital partnership 

between the public 

and law enforcement for 

the benefit of the whole 

community. 

“I’ve been working here 

for 15 years, and since the 

start my whole point of 

becoming a police officer 

[has been] to help people,” 

he said. “In this town, 

what I want from everybody 

is for the police and 

the community to kind of 

come together and feel like 

we can all see each other, 

talk to each other and not 

be afraid of anything, and 

always be willing to call us 

for help anytime.” 

Along with law enforcement 

and public safety 

officials, local businesses 

and organizations were on 

hand and added additional 

support of a safe, united 

Highland Park. 

Ginny Glasner, president 

and CEO of the 

Highland Park Chamber 

of Commerce, said the 

organization attended the 

event to spread the message 

of supporting local 

businesses for the strength 

of the city economically. 

Moreover, she said she appreciated 

the positivity of 

the event as a whole and 

the expressions of community 

pride. 

“I think anything that we 

all can do together to celebrate 

us as a community 

is a good thing,” she said. 

“I think it supports all of us 

looking out for each other, 

because ultimately we’re 

stronger together.”

North Shore School District 112 Board of Education 

Update given on summer 

construction projects at schools 

Erin Yarnall, Editor 

While students were on 

summer break, construction 

crews were hard at 

work, making improvements 

on all nine of the 

schools in North Shore 

School District 112. 

Members of the district’s 

administration and board 

of education received updates 

on the construction 

from Joseph Slattery, a 

project executive at Gilbane 

Building Company at 

its regular meeting Tuesday, 

Aug. 7. 

An original contract was 

signed with Boller Construction 

to complete the 

work for $3.66 million at 

all nine schools. 

“Like most summer programs, 

we’re going down 

to the wire,” Slattery said 

about the work that still 

needs to be completed before 

classes resume Aug. 

20. 

Some schools, like Braeside 

Elementary School, 

only had minor work done, 

including an enhancement 

made to the parking lot, 

an office conversion and 

the re-purposing of existing 

closets for medical enhancements. 

Edgewood Middle 

School, on the other hand, 

had an excessive amount 

of work done, including 

the renovation of locker 

rooms, adding an ADA accessible 

ramp and loading 

dock and the replacement 

of a broken sewer line, 

which ran under a hallway 

in the school. 

Slattery said he expects 

all of the work to be done, 

besides minor work that 

will be finished over winter 

break, to be finished by 

Aug. 20. 

Superintendent Michael 

Lubelfeld also spoke at 

the meeting about the long 

range planning committee 

he is heading, and their 

plans to get community 

members involved in the 

future of the district. 

During a five-hour meeting 

with the committee, 

Lubelfeld discussed the 

pros and cons of operating 

either nine schools, eight 

schools or seven-schools. 

“We’re going to start 

to test that with the community, 

because I’m expecting 

some people are 

going to have some strong 

feelings about that and we 

want to hear them,” Lubelfeld 

said. 

The district is sending 

out a ThoughtExchange 

Don’t just 

list your 

real estate 

property... 

survey, to get feedback 

from the community on 

how many schools they 

believe the district should 

have in operation. 

The board also approved 

changes to the academic 

calendar for the 2018-2019 

school year. 

While a previous board 

voted to attend school on 

Columbus Day, students 

will not attend school on 

the holiday in the upcoming 

school year, in order to 

have the district’s calendar 

align with Township High 

School District 113’s calendar. 

“We approved our 

2018-2019 school calendar 

last September,” Monica 

Schroeder, the deputy 

superintendent said. “District 

113 amended their 

calendar to observe Columbus 

Day. It came to 

our attention at the last 

board meeting that we had 

not been aware of them 

amending their calendar. 

Being that our students 

from the high school were 

going to be off, and teachers, 

parents, we thought it 

would be in our best interests 

to also observe the 

Columbus Day holiday, 

known in our district as 

Fall break.”

Nicasa hosts weekly series on gambling addiction 

Sydney Rose 

Submitted by Barbara Baskin 

We rescued our dog Sydney Rose from Orphans of 

the Storm two years ago. She was rescued from 

living on the streets in Tennessee. She is very 

happy go lucky with tons of energy and a loving 

personality. 


Throughout the month of August, 

Nicasa has been opening the doors 

of their Highland Park office to welcome 

anyone struggling with a gambling 

addiction for a session on how 

to overcome their addictions. 

Each session is hosted by Brian 

Meister, a gambling counselor at 

Nicasa Behavioral Health Services. 

Meister wanted to host these sessions 

after realizing the lack of resources 

for gambling addicts in Illinois, 

compared to other addictions. 

“If you wanted to find treatment 

for someone with substance abuse issues 

in Lake County, in Chicagoland, 

in the country, you have many, many 

options,” Meister said. “If you want 

to go to an AA meeting in Chicagoland, 

there’s 4,000 a week. Gamblers 

Anonymous has 60 meetings in the 

whole state.” 

The sessions run every Wednesday 

from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Nicasa’s 

Highland Park office, which 

serves as their headquarters for gambling 

outreach. 

Although the meetings are held 

in Highland Park, Meister hopes to 

spread awareness about gambling 

addiction throughout Lake County. 

“It’s a hidden disease, but we 

know there’s possibilities,” Meister 

said. 

Nicasa wanted to hold these sessions 

after hearing about the high 

rates of suicide among gambling addicts. 

“Gamblers have the highest suicide 

rate, and it’s because they don’t 

kill themselves physically,” Meister 

said. “They’re not breaking their 

organs like an alcoholic, and sometimes 

the financial devastation is 

life-long.” 

Ultimately, Meister said there is 

hope for addicts, and he hopes they 

and their families can learn from the 

discussions started at these sessions. 

For more information, contact 

Meister at (847)433-1303 or bmeister@nicasa.org.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Mahoney steps down as Loyola 

Academy athletic director 

Loyola Academy Director of Athletics 

Patrick Mahoney left his position 

on Wednesday, Aug. 15. 

According to a press release from 

the school, Mahoney stepped away 

from his position to pursue other 

professional opportunities. 

The former athletic director and 

1990 graduate of the school had been 

the athletics leader of the school 

since 2003. 

“We are very grateful to Mr. Mahoney 

for his many years of dedicated 

service to Loyola,” said Loyola 

Academy President Father Patrick 

McGrath in the press release. “We 

wish him nothing but great success 

in the next chapter of his professional 

journey. Athletic programs have 

grown considerably during his tenure, 

and he has worked tirelessly to 

help advance the mission of Loyola.” 

McGrath announced Aug. 8 that 

Genevieve Baisley Atwood, of Wilmette, 

vice president of admissions 

and enrollment, will assume the duties 

as Loyola’s interim athletic director 

effective Aug. 15. 

The departure comes a few months 

after the school fired former girls soccer 

head coach Craig Snower over allegations 

that he made inappropriate 

comments toward players during his 

time as coach. Investigations by The 

Wilmette Beacon and Wilmette Police 

Department into the allegations 

showed that Snower made sexual 

comments toward players. 

The police investigation concluded 

Mahoney was not aware of 

any of these sexual comments made 

toward players, but parents had approached 

him about not being comfortable 

with their children playing 

for Snower.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Potential Lincoln Avenue arcade 

seeks Village, Zoning Code 

amendments 

Winnetka’s Village Code currently

to an applicant’s request to 

bring a “high-end boutique arcade” 

to Winnetka. 

During its Tuesday, Aug. 7 meeting, 

the Winnetka Village Council 

considered an application from 

Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate, 

which seeks to bring an arcade to a 

tenant space at 552 Lincoln Ave. 

Bringing the arcade to the Village 

would require amendments to the 

Village Code, which currently prohibits 

coin-operated amusement devices, 

in addition to a Zoning Code 

amendment permitting an amusement 

arcade establishment in what is 

classified as a General Retail Commercial 

District. 

Dan Burns, senior manager with 

Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate, 

said a majority of the games would 

be for children ages 4-12, with a 

small number of arcade games for 

adults to play. 

Burns said the proposed arcade at 

552 Lincoln Ave. won’t be a “run-ofthe-mill 

arcade.” 

“It’s going to be nice flooring, 

nicely decorated with the top games 

that are out there right now,” he said. 

Burns said the space would likely 

feature somewhere between 15-20 

arcade games, including some that 

dispense tickets, which can be redeemed 

for various prizes. He added 

he also wants to work with area restaurants 

to cater birthday parties at 

the location. 

Burns said the arcade is just “one 

piece of the puzzle” in the property 

at 552 Lincoln Ave. 

“What we really want to do is 

bring children, young families down 

there which we feel are kind of underserved 

in that area right now,” he 

said. “We want to use that as a catalyst 

to bring new energy to the street, 

just attract more foot traffic.”

groundbreaking performance of Leonard

The Port Clinton Art Festival celebrates 35 years 

Submitted by Amy Amdur 

Festival Founder and Director 

The 35th annual Port 

Clinton Art Festival comes 

to Highland Park on Saturday 

and Sunday, August 25 

and 26. This much loved 

annual tradition brings artists 

from all over the country 

to downtown Highland 

Park for a weekend of fun 

and culture. 

The festival was started 

with just 40 artists, it was 

one of many events created 

the year that Port Clinton 

Square opened. It’s hard to 

believe that 35 years have 

gone by since then. 

As the years have 

passed, the festival has 

grown in size and quality 

to its position as one of the 

top outdoor art festivals in 

the country. Artists nationwide 

apply every year with 

images of their art, as well 

as images of their booth 

presentation. A group of art 

professionals reviews and 

scores all of the entries, and 

only the top scoring artists 

are invited to participate. 

Every year, the Port Clinton 

Art Festival is an entirely 

new show, with only 

the award winners from 

the previous year automatically 

invited back. 

A youth division was 

started many years ago to 

give area youth a chance to 

show and sell their art. 

Over the years, we have 

created an area of the festival 

that we call the Taste of 

Highland Park and More, 

where we feature the “art 

of cuisine” of our wonderful 

Highland Park area restaurants 

along with those in 

neighboring communities. 

The Taste now opens the 

festival weekend on Friday, 

along with music on the 

main stage. 

A few years ago, we added 

a non-profit area to the 

festival for local non-profit 

organizations to show the 

art of their good work, and 

it’s been extremely well received. 

When people ask what 

changes there have been 

throughout the last 35 

years, I can answer that 

the world has changed. 35 

years ago, we did not have 

smart phones. Our artist 

lists were kept on typed 

sheets. Digital photography 

did not exist. So, really 

the question is what hasn’t 

changed. 

The passion that artists 

have for their art has not 

changed. There is, and always 

has been, a passion 

that artists have to make 

their art; be it paintings, or

DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26 

Crowds at the Port Clinton Art Festival in 2017. Photo submitted 

sculpture, jewelry or wearables, 

artists love to create. 

And, people love to look 

at art. Some look casually, 

some critically. Some look 

to buy, some look to give. 

I love going to people’s 

homes and offices and 

seeing art that I know was 

found at the Port Clinton 

Art Festival. The festival itself, 

and the art at the festival, 

really touches people’s 

lives. 

Trends in art have come 

and gone; as is the way 

with art. Current trends include 

upcycling materials 

into art, as Amy Manning 

does with her upcycled 

wood windows. The influence 

of graffiti and street 

art is also easily seen in art 

today. We’re very excited 

that this year’s festival includes 

two Highland Park 

residents — photographers 

Mark Hersch and Howard 

Tator. 

New this year is the 

launch of our Highland 

Park Landmark Photo Contest, 

where the community 

is invited to be the artist 

and submit their favorite 

images of Highland Park 

to the festival. We also 

have the Fest Photo Challenge 

where we invite the 

public to take images at the 

fest and submit them. Both 

contests will be judged, and 

prizes will be awarded. 

Also, new this year is 

the Highland Park “Hands 

Together” Mural Project. 

Kids and adults of all ages 

are invited to add their 

hand print to a community 

mural showing that Highland 

Park is a community 

of unique individuals that 

is stronger and more unified 

together. Each participant 

will receive an 8-by-8 

inch square and a choice 

of paint colors to create a 

hand print. The hand prints 

will become part of a 4-by- 

8 foot mural which will be 

displayed in the community. 

Painting can be messy, 

so please dress accordingly. 

The Highland Park “Hands 

Together” project will take 

place from 12–1 p.m., both 

Saturday and Sunday. 

There will be live entertainment 

throughout the 

entire weekend beginning 

at 5 pm on Friday with 

the Battle of the Bands, 

followed by the Saturday 

June Band 6:30-8 p.m. and 

Standing Room Only 8-10 

p.m. 

On Saturday, the live 

entertainment line-up includes 

Check with Lucy, 

The Whose Who: The Who 

Tribute Band, and Class of 

68, and on Sunday Check 

with Lucy returns along 

with Railheart. 

Restaurants participating 

in the Taste of Highland 

Park include such favorites 

as Michaels, Judy’s Pizza, 

Backyard Grill, Onion Garden, 

Tamales, Real Urban 

BBQ, Beelow’s, Ravinia 

Brewing, Phoenecia, Sunset, 

Casa de Issac and Jade 

Café. 

As the years pass, and as 

those who attended as children, 

now bring their own 

children, I thank all who 

have helped along the way, 

those who have enjoyed 

the festival, those who 

have supported the artists, 

and those who appreciate 

the blood, sweat, and tears 

that go into making the Port 

Clinton Art Festival something 

special in our community. 

I look forward to seeing 

you.

A bittersweet feeling 

Erin Yarnall 

Editor 

On my third day as 

the editor of The 

Highland Park 

Landmark, I was introduced 

to our editorial 

intern, Harrison Raft. 

I was excited that 

someone else was as new, 

and probably as scared, as 

I was. And then I came to 

the terrifying realization 

that I had to be his boss. 

I sat down with him 

in his first few days and 

basically told him that I 

had no idea what I was 

doing, and I had no idea 

how to be his boss, but I 

was going to give it my 

best shot. 

Overall, I think I did a 

decent job. 

In his farewell editorial, 

Harrison wrote about 

his first article, “Petal 

rose water starts to grow 

on Highland Park.” 

Harrison seemed pretty 

nervous about the story, 

and I remember him 

asking me if I was going 

to accompany him to the 

story. I told him, “No, but 

I believe in you!” In retrospect, 

it sounds harsh, 

but I did believe in him, 

and he didn’t disappoint 

with either his story or 

his photos. 

I was always excited 

to give him more opportunities 

to try different 

things as he learned more 

through the internship. 

He came with me on 

interviews until eventually 

I started sending him 

on his own. 

Throughout his time 

interning here, Harrison 

covered a variety of 

events in Highland Park, 

and grew so much as a 

journalist. 

It was a lot of fun 

working with him 

throughout the summer, 

because we were both 

learning on the job. Not 

only did he grow, but 

he watched me stammer 

instructions to him in our 

first week together, and 

now I feel as if I can effectively 

be, well, a boss. 

It’s going to be sad to 

see Harrison go back to 

school, but it’s going to 

be exciting to see him use 

the skills he’s learned this 

summer in his future. 

Continue to keep up the 

great work, Harrison, and 

thanks for learning with 

me this summer.

From the Editorial Intern 

Intern swept away to college life 

Harrison Raft 

Editorial Intern 

It feels just like yesterday 

I was briskly 

rafting into summer, 

and now I’m being swept 

away by what will eventually 

become a crushing 

wave of responsibilities. 

I started my internship 

at 22nd Century Media in 

May, and was introduced 

in the paper with my first 

written article, “Rafting 

into summer.” 

I patiently abided my 

time for years waiting to 

use my last name for a 

pun of that magnitude, 

looking back on it now, 

it’s still the greatest decision 

I’ve ever made. 

My time here at the 

paper has been vastly 

enjoyable. Through some 

interesting events that I 

covered, I came to learn 

to work with the information 

that I collected from 

interviews and my editors 

Alyssa Groh, of The Lake 

Forest Leader, and Erin 

Yarnall, of The Highland 

Park Landmark, helped to 

me to mold that information 

into an honest and 

well written article. 

The first story that I 

covered was “Petal rose 

water starts to grow on 

Highland Park,” for The 

Landmark. 

The story was about 

a new rose water drink 

being released at Sunset 

Foods. Back then I 

didn’t know much about 

rose water, or covering 

an event, but I figured it 

would be just like class. I 

was wrong, I was young, 

I was lost. No amount of 

slide-show presentations 

or rose water drinking 

could’ve prepared me for 

the nervous wreck that 

was about to unfold in the 

aisles of Sunset Foods. 

However, I hung onto 

the stem of everything 

I’ve come to learn, from 

the brief time I’ve spent 

at the internship, and got 

through it. 

Eventually, I finished 

the story and I loved what 

sprouted from it. It wasn’t 

perfect by any means, and 

the amount of corrections 

let me know that. But it 

was the first story I’d covered 

and written and from 

there I could only grow.

Anna Lee Schifeling 

Anna Lee Schifeling, 

97, formerly of Highland 

Park, died July 24 

in her home with family. 

She was born April 8, 

1921. Following the early 

deaths of both of her parents, 

she was raised by 

her aunt, Juanita Tower 

Leech and her husband, 

Albertus Leech in Highland 

Park. After completing 

high school, she 

worked to send herself to 

college at the University 

of Illinois where she met 

Daniel Schifeling. Soon 

he left college, enlisted in 

the Army Air Force and 

trained to be a bomber pilot. 

They continued their 

romance by letter and 

married May 21, 1944 

“between Sunday school 

and church” after she got 

up the courage to apply for 

the marriage license herself 

“because it was a leap 

year and women could do 

things like that in a leap 

year.” After their marriage 

she followed him to several 

bases so they could be 

together. They were married 

almost 70 years before 

his death in 2013. 

After the war ended, 

they returned to Illinois, 

where Dan completed college 

and law school. They 

settled in St. Charles, IL 

where Dan opened a solo 

law practice. There, Anna 

Lee devoted her energies 

to raising three sons, 

supporting her husband’s 

practice, and taking leadership 

in community organizations 

from Cub Scouts 

to Planned Parenthood and 

the League of Women Voters. 

She was the volunteer 

Director of Christian Education 

at her church and in 

May of 1975 she graduated 

from Elmhurst College 

with a degree in religious 

education with her 

husband and three sons in 

attendance, yelling “Yay, 

Mom!” 

After their children were 

grown and her husband retired, 

Anna Lee and Dan 

moved to Brevard, NC 

where they hosted children 

and grandchildren, hiked 

and wildflowered for three 

decades. In Brevard, Anna 

Lee’s community engagement 

continued. She continued 

to serve her church 

in a variety of capacities, 

was a regular volunteer 

and supporter of Rise and 

Shine, became a founding 

member of Kids in Camp, 

joined a peace group supporting 

an end to nuclear 

weapons, led a very effective 

program to increase 

interracial dialogue in the 

area, and wrote letters to 

prisoners. She also became 

a family historian, writing 

a beautiful memoir of her 

parents and an extensive 

genealogy of the Tower 

family. 

Dan and Anna Lee 

moved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin 

in 2011. She cared 

for Dan until his death 

in 2013, was active in 

the First Congregational 

United Church of Christ, 

enjoyed wildflowering in 

the summer and watching 

wild turkeys out her window, 

as well as visits and 

letters from family at all 

times. During their time in 

Eau Claire both Dan and 

Anna Lee received devoted 

love and support from 

David and Joan for which 

she and the whole family 

were grateful. In the spring 

of 2018, her health finally 

began to decline, and she 

entered hospice a few 

months before her death. 

She will be remembered 

for the love and care she 

gave to her family, her 

ability to see the good in 

everyone, her desire to 

make the world a better 

place and her work for 

the progressive causes she 

believed in. She also delighted 

in helping children 

appreciate the wonders of 

nature, teaching them how 

to find salamanders (“effies”), 

raise caterpillars 

and tadpoles, and catch 

(and eventually release) 

snakes and turtles. Her 

grandchildren will remember 

her unfailing interest 

in their lives, endless craft 

supplies, dependable letters, 

the best chocolate 

chip cookies, and homemade 

applesauce. 

She was preceded in 

death by her husband, Daniel 

Schifeling; her mother, 

Juanita Tower Leech; her 

father, Albertus Leech; her 

biological parents, Gladys 

Tower Fellmy and George 

Fellmy; her sister, Juanita 

Marie Roush; and her 

brother-in-law, Maurice 

Roush; and her brothers, 

James Leech, and George 

and Eugene Fellmy. 

She is survived by her 

sons, Daniel, Richard and 

David; daughters-in-law, 

Barbara, Iris and Joan 

Hamblin; grandchildren, 

Deirdre (Peter Colavito), 

Dietrich (partner Galia 

Binder), Jeremy (Rachel 

Burstein), Todd (Catherine 

Emery), Erin, Christopher 

(Tracy), and William; and 

great-grandchildren, Sela, 

Madalena and Luca Colavito, 

Ruby and Hannah, 

and Henry; and her sisterin-law, 

Peggy Leech. 

The family appreciates 

the care provided by the 

Oakwood Hills Senior 

Living Community; Rev. 

Dr. Mark X. Pirazzini 

and Mary Barnes of First 

Congregational UCC; Dr. 

Thomas Sandager; Kris,

HP rock band and classical group perform together 


Highland Park resident 

Mark Hill believes he 

and Larry Block, a fellow 

Highland Park resident 

and the founder of the 

Highland Park Strings lead 

parallel lives. 

“[Block] is an attorney,” 

Hill said. “I am a surgeon 

and a professor. [Block] 

is the founder of the HP 

Strings, and of course a 

musician. I am the founder 

and a musician in Dr. 

Mark & the Sutures. All 

of his concerts are free and 

myself, with my band, Dr. 

Mark & the Sutures, same 

thing that all of our concerts 

are free.” 

Hill said he was looking 

for a way to connect 

the two “parallel lives,” 

and he thought it should 

be through music — specifically, 

Hill’s rock band, 

Dr. Mark & the Sutures, 

and Block’s Highland Park 

Strings joining together 

to perform a free concert 

Saturday, Aug. 11, in Port 

Clinton Square. 

The performance featured 

the Highland Park 

Strings performing a 

movement of a Beethoven 

piece, and then joining 

Dr. Mark & the Sutures 

for five Beatles covers. 

It was imperative to both 

bands that the concert be a 

free event, because neither 

group has ever charged for 

a performance. 

For the Highland Park 

Strings, the group didn’t 

think it was “appropriate” 

to charge people to attend 

their first show — a Christmas 

concert at the Park 

District of Highland Park. 

“There were 30 people 

there, and 29 were my 

family,” Block said. 

From then on, they’ve 

never charged for a performance, 

except when 

they’ve performed for 

Ravinia Festival, despite 

some of their more recent 

performances being in 

front of crowds of hundreds 

of people. 

Dr. Mark & the Sutures 

has also never charged for 

a show. 

“We’ve never made a 

penny [from the band],” 

Hill said. 

When they have had 

an opportunity to make 

money from their performances, 

including when 

they’ve performed at Allstate 

Arena and Country 

Thunder in Twin Lakes, 

Wisc., they’ve chosen to 

donate the money to charity 

instead. 

“These are all people 

who have day jobs, they all 

have families, they all take 

the time to rehearse, which 

is always hard to get the 

guys together, but they do 

this for the right reasons.” 

This event was Dr. Mark 

& the Sutures annual Highland 

Park concert. At each 

event, the band recognizes 

a community member in 

Highland Park, and this 

year chose to recognize 

Block for his work with 

the Highland Park Strings. 

“This is not music we 

customarily play,” Block 

said. “This is a really special 

event for Highland 

Park.”

‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ is smart summer fun 

Adam Yuster 

Contributing Columnist 

Since King Kong first 

rampaged through the 

streets of New York in 

1933, collateral damage 

hasn’t really been a 

concern for moviegoers. 

We’ve seen the Titanic 

sink, the White House 

collapse, and the planet 

Alderaan get blown to 

bits, but by the time the 

credits roll, we walk 

out of the theater with 

smiles on our faces. As 

long as the hero saves 

the day in the end, we 

don’t care about the death 

toll. 

For the past decade, 

blockbuster series have 

been challenging our indifference 

to the onscreen 

deaths of unnamed characters. 

Instead of treating 

explosions and crumbling 

buildings as part of action 

movie iconography, movies 

like Avengers: Age of 

Ultron have started asking: 

is it okay to let a city 

burn in the name of saving 

the world? Mission: 

Impossible – Fallout takes 

that question one step further: 

is it okay to let one 

person die in order to save 

millions? 

The film opens with 

IMF Agent Ethan Hunt 

(Tom Cruise) receiving 

his next mission: a terrorist 

group called The Apostles 

is meeting a dealer in 

Berlin to purchase plutonium, 

and Ethan must 

acquire 

the plutonium 

before 

them. When 

Ethan goes 

undercover 

to meet 

the dealer, Yuster 

he and his 

team are ambushed by 

The Apostles. They take 

Ethan’s teammate Luther 

(Ving Rhames) hostage, 

and Ethan must decide 

whether to protect the 

plutonium or save his 

friend. 

Ultimately, he chooses 

Luther. The Apostles 

make off with the plutonium 

and turn it into nuclear 

weapons. As recompense 

for his actions, Ethan 

must retrieve the weapons 

before The Apostles deliver 

them to John Lark, 

a mysterious arms dealer 

who wants to take out a 

third of the world’s population. 

Ethan’s mission is 

complicated by August 

Walker (Henry Cavill), a 

CIA agent sent to evaluate 

Ethan, and Ilsa Faust (Rebecca 

Ferguson), an MI-6 

agent who is also after 

The Apostles. 

Every installment of the 

“Mission: Impossible” series 

has been reliably fun. 

“Fallout” is no different. It 

has all the dazzling, deathdefying 

stunts you could 

ask for, including a highstakes 

helicopter chase 

and a rooftop foot chase 

so extreme, it left Cruise 

with a real-life broken 

ankle. At director Christopher 

McQuarrie’s hand, 

Fallout’s action sequences 

are visceral, innovative 

and beautifully shot, with 

none of the shaky footage 

that plagues most modern 

action movies. 

What elevates “Fallout” 

beyond pure entertainment 

is McQuarrie’s 

dedication to pursuing its 

theme. Every action sequence 

raises the question 

of whether Ethan should 

risk losing the weapons 

to save innocent lives – 

not only those of friends, 

but of strangers as well. 

In one of the film’s most 

effective scenes, a Parisian 

policewoman is 

shot, and an undercover 

Ethan must choose whether 

to blow his cover to 

help her or carry out his 

mission. It may not be as 

thrilling as the helicopter 

chase, but this scene 

is just as psychologically 

tense. 

While sometimes a 

little too clever for its 

own good, “Mission: Impossible 

– Fallout” is a 

smart, fast-paced thriller 

that doubles as a philosophical 

debate. It belongs 

to a dying breed: the 

action movie with a message.

Steve Martin, Martin Short 

bring laughs to Ravinia 


As part of their “An Evening You Will 

Forget for the Rest of Your Life” tour, comedians 

Steve Martin and Martin Short 

took the stage at Ravinia in front of a jampacked 

crowd. 

Festival-goers packed around the stage 

to watch the two funnymen, and also 

crowded a large lawn screen that Ravinia 

Festival provided, so those with lawn 

seats would be able to still see the show. 

Martin and Short performed stand up, 

where they discussed their friendship and 

mocked older pictures of themselves, and 

even reenacted a song from their 1986 

film “Three Amigos,” in which they enlisted 

help from the audience.

Wilmette’s Lefty’s Pizza Kitchen prides itself on quality 

Martin Carlino 

Contributing Editor 

After working as a commodity 

trader for 20 years, 

John Munao envisioned a 

future that ranged far beyond 

the walls of Chicago’s 

iconic Board of Trade 

building. 

Munao’s visualization 

was vastly different than 

the scenes of Chicago’s 

famed financial district, 

yet it was one that was 

equally synonymous with 

the area’s history — the 

sight of a meticulously 

prepared caramelized crust 

pan pizza. 

Munao traded his usual 

shirt-and-tie work-attire 

for a chef’s apron and 

paired up with a business 

partner to reopen a local 

favorite pizza place in 

Morton Grove. 

Filled with the desire to 

further venture out, Munao 

sold his shares after 

a year and started to look 

for a location of his own. 

It didn’t take him long, and 

he found a space in downtown 

Wilmette, an ideal 

spot for his pizza place. 

Lefty’s Pizza Kitchen, 

1156 Central Ave. in Wilmette, 

opened to the public 

July 18. 

“It’s the perfect spot,” 

Munao said. “I was looking 

for a spot along the 

North Shore. ... I really 

want to draw everybody 

in. I think it’s the best pizza 

around. I just want everybody 

to have a try.” 

Prior to Lefty’s opening 

in mid-July, Munao 

carefully worked to craft 

a menu that complements 

the pizza options. According 

to Munao, Lefty’s pizza 

options are the heart of 

its menu. 

“Our pan pizza is our 

speciality,” he said. “I believe 

in that and I know 

that’s good. I was worried 

a little about the thin (pizza), 

but it’s been amazing 

and we’ve really got great 

feedback on it.” 

Lefty’s pan pizzas place 

an importance on the 

pan itself, a method that 

Munao learned from his 

prior experience making 

pizza. 

“[From] the method I 

learned ... the pans themselves 

are important,” he 

said. “We buy pans and 

won’t serve a pizza out 

of them until they’re seasoned 

at least five times in 

our ovens. As each pizza 

cooks, that pan gets better 

and better. That’s a big 

part of our pan pizza. And 

another big part of our 

[pan] pizza is the caramelized 

crust that we do on the 

edge.” 

Lefty’s makes its own 

dough and sauce for both 

styles of pizzas, and Munao 

uses locally bought 

sausage, fresh-, dailypicked 

produce and a fine 

buffalo milk cheese. The 

pan pizza uses a standard 

mozzarella on the outer 

edge to help get the perfect 

caramelized crust. 

For Munao, one imperative 

element of each pizza 

Lefty’s serves is quality. 

“I’m all about the product,” 

he said. “First things 

first, we don’t ever send 

out a bad pizza. Second 

[for us] is customer service.” 

Beyond pizza, Lefty’s 

serves wings with five different 

sauces — barbecue, 

sweet barbecue, mild, hot 

and honey jalapeno — and 

a variety of salads. During 

the hours of 11 a.m.-3 

p.m. during the week, and 

on Sunday, Lefty’s also 

serves single slices of thin 

crust cheese ($3.50), sau-

sage or pepperoni ($4). 

High school students from 

the area who show their ID 

can get a slice and a soda 

for $5. 

Now with nearly a 

month in Wilmette under 

its belt, Munao hopes 

Lefty’s will become a staple 

of the community. 

“[Community] is very 

important for us,” he said. 

“We want to become a fixture 

in Wilmette and the 

North Shore. We want to 

give you the best pizza and 

the best product out there. 

When you go to order a 

pizza on Friday night, we 

hope you call Lefty’s.” 

Editors from 22nd Century 

Media headed to 

Lefty’s to taste its offerings, 

and, of course, we 

had to start with a pan 

pizza. 

We opted for one topped 

with mushroom, pepperoni 

and sausage. The pan pizzas 

start at $11.25 for a 10- 

inch and ranges to $20.95 

for a 16-inch. 

After just a few bites, 

a consensus among our 

group of editors was 

quickly reached — the 

pizza lived up to its billing. 

We all instantly tasted 

the fresh ingredients, 

paired with a delightful 

mixture of sauce and 

cheese. The caramelized 

crust provided a crunchy, 

fitting end to the well-prepared 

pizza. 

Next up, we tasted the 

thin crust pizza topped

Lefty’s also offers thin crust pizza ($9.50 for a 10-inch, ranging to $17.50 for a 16- 

inch). Pictured is a thin crust topped with spinach and bell peppers. 

with spinach and bell peppers. 

According to Munao, 

the thin crust has been a 

surprising hit for Lefty’s 

thus far, and it’s easy to see 

why. It’s thin, crispy crust 

is topped with the freshest 

of ingredients. Thin 

crust pizzas start at $9.50 

for a 10-inch and range to 

$17.50 for a 16-inch. 

We next sampled Lefty’s 

wings, which are $11.95 

for a dozen. Per Munao, 

the wings are hand-breaded, 

fried, sauced and then 

put into the oven to caramelize 

a bit. 

Lastly, we tasted Lefty’s 

chopped salad ($8.95) prepared 

with romaine and 

iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, 

bacon, diced chicken 

breast, diced tomato, green 

onion, ditalini pasta and 

Gorgonzola. Those looking 

for other options than 

pizza, surely won’t be disappointed 

with what else 

Lefty’s has to offer.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Jacob Bradford 

Bradford is a rising senior at Highland 

Park High School and plays 

How did you start playing football? 

I always wanted to play but I mostly 

focused on wrestling sixth through eighth 

grade and freshman year. My grandpa 

and my uncle both played so they said it 

would be a good idea to start. Better late 

than never, so I started playing sophomore 

year and I’ve loved it ever since. 

What made you fall in love with 

the sport? 

You can’t find the same kind of brotherhood 

and camaraderie in any other sport. 

The physicality that you go through with 

the same group of guys every single day 

brings you together like nothing else. 

What is the most challenging part 

of the game? 

You get hit pretty hard, and it’s pretty 

easy to just go down and turn down hits 

and take plays off when you get hit. Especially 

for me, I’m only 185-pounds and 

I’m playing against people that are a lot 

bigger than me. 

What is the best Coach David 

Lindquist has given you? 

Regret is the worst pain one can experience. 

What has been your most 

memorable moment with the 

Giants? 

Probably our playoff game last year, 

because although we lost it was a close 

game. You could feel how the relationships 

we built on the team were going to 

last forever and everyone got emotional 

because we knew that was the last time 

the seniors would be playing with us. 

If you were a super hero, what 

would your super power be? 

Super strength so I could put up more 

weight on bench. 

Photo Submitted 

Where is the coolest place you’ve 

every travelled to? 

Japan. I was born there. My parents 

were stationed there and I was born in 

Okinawa and lived there for six years. 

If you could travel anywhere in the 

world, where would you want to 

go? 

Honestly, probably just the south. Food 

is great, sports are great, music is great. 

What’s not to love? 

What is your favorite TV show 

right now? 

Probably “Blue Mountain State,” it’s a 

little bit vulgar, which is why I love it. 

Who is your favorite professional 

athlete? 

It has got to be either J.J. Watt on the 

Texans or Kyle Slater, he’s a wrestler. I 

actually got to meet him a few years back 

a month before he won Olympic gold. 

He’s the youngest American to ever win 

gold in wrestling. He’s just a tough [athlete]. 

He’s awesome.

From Page 30 

with the second round 

scheduling seemed to have 

a negative impact on Flavin’s 

play. 

“We had a lot of delays,” 

he said. “It was tough to 

get the momentum going. 

“After shooting 2-under 

the first nine (in the second 

round) and birdying 

my first hole on the second 

nine I was feeling pretty 

good but then I three-putted 

from eight feet early in 

the round. I made a bogey 

again before we got called 

in for a delay. We went 

back out and played super 

late, three or four holes before 

bed. 

“I was right on the cut 

line when I came out (to 

finish round 2 on the final 

day). It’s hard to play free 

when you’re the defending 

champion in that situation 

and know you have to do 

it. I made a clutch birdie 

and made the cut by two 

strokes.” 

Flavin believes the adversity 

he has sometimes 

encountered will be beneficial 

and enable him to 

persevere as a professional. 

“Goring through the 

highs and lows in my amateur 

career is going to be 

huge going forward,” he 

predicted. “As a pro you 

need to be really patient.” 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

Highland Park’s Guiliana Cunningham (middle) poses for a photo with her 

Baylor University teammates; the defender hopes to see some playing time 

with the Bears this fall. Photos Submitted 

From the time she was 4 years old, 

Guiliana Cunningham has played 

soccer. 

Her passion for the sport grew as 

she got older, and after watching her 

brother play club, she knew that was 

where she wanted to be too. Cunningham 

played for a few different 

area soccer clubs, first starting out 

with the American Youth Soccer 

Organization and then moving onto 

Northbrook’s Spartans FC. Neither 

of those clubs proved challenging 

enough for the defender who then 

played for the Schaumburg-based 

Sockers FC Chicago. Cunningham 

thrived on the competition there and 

worked hard to achieve a long-held 

goal: to play college soccer. 

“From the moment I started playing, 

I wanted to play college and I 

wanted to continue playing,” Cunningham 

said. “When I entered high 

school, it got more serious.” 

The 2018 Highland Park High 

School alumna achieved her goal 

and will play for Baylor University’s 

women’s soccer team this 

fall, but her success was not easily 

achieved. 

During Cunningham’s sophomore 

year, she played in a number 

of showcases. With college scouts 

watching her every move, she had 

multiple schools interested during 

that time, come junior year Cunningham 

felt a little off. She was later diagnosed 

with anemia which derailed 

her well thought out plan. 

“I lost a whole year of recruiting 

because I was sick and I couldn’t 

perform well,” she said. 

With her energy level suffering 

because of the anemia, scouts quickly 

lost interest in Cunningham as a 

recruit. The overall journey wasn’t 

an easy one for Cunningham, who 

at one point thought her long-held 

dream of playing college soccer 

wasn’t in the cards. 

“Things happen for a reason, everyone 

told me that,” she said. “Honestly, 

at one point, I was like, ‘OK, if 

I’m not going to play college, I just 

want to work really hard for my club 

team.’” 

Luckily, with the help of her doctors, 

Cunningham was treated for her 

anemia and quickly got back into the 

game and on track. 

“I was honestly blessed that I was 

able to gain my health back and got 

the interest from Baylor,” she said. 

Cunningham now knows that everything 

happens for a reason. Cunningham 

also knew Baylor was the 

right place for her after her initial 

visit to the school, and after meeting 

the coaches and seeing the campus 

she was hooked. 

“Honestly, it’s probably the best 

thing that has ever happened to me,” 

she said. “I love the team; they’re 

like a family.” 

She’s now ready to take on that 

next step of adjusting to Big 12, 

NCAA Division-I play. Cunningham 

knows she’s going to be defending 

talented D-I forwards and it’s a challenge 

she’s ready to take on. 

“The speed of the game is faster,” 

she said. “It’s increased so much. 

You can totally tell once you step on 

a college pitch, it’s the next level.” 

Cunningham is already getting in 

the groove of things on the Bears 

campus trying to balance summerschool 

work, training and practice. 

Every minute of every day Cunningham 

has something to do, and it’s not 

a bad place to be in. 

“You can prepare yourself, but 

it’s a lot and you just have to keep 

working hard,” she said. “You have 

to adapt. Honestly, if you train hard 

enough you can adapt.” 

Realistically, Cunningham knows 

that as a freshman she may not see 

minutes on the pitch but she’s going 

to do everything she can to make 

sure that doesn’t happen. 

“I want to start and I want to be 

on the travel roster and I’m going to 

work really hard toward that,” she 

said. “But if that doesn’t happen than 

I’m just going to support the team 

the best that I can, even if it’s on the 

sidelines.”

Brandon Holtz, a football 

equipment salesman from 

downstate Bloomington 

who was the top pro in 

the tournament the previous 

year when he wound 

up in a three-way tie for 

second. 

India recorded a par 72 

in the first round at Ravinia 

Green Country Club – the 

Riverwoods course where 

he’d worked as a caddie 

as a boy and a teenager 

— and then charged into 

contention with an 8-under 

par 64 in the rain-delayed 

second round. The rain on 

Aug. 7 forced many golfers 

to finish second round 

play the following day and 

then those who made the 

cut went on to the third and 

final round. 

For India, the turning 

point in the tournament 

came in the opening round 

on the 12th hole, a par 4 

hole that is the shortest hole 

on the course at about 364 

yards but is lined with trees 

Jake Keller shot the tournament’s first hole-in-one on 

his first shot of the day Aug. 8. 

on both sides of the narrow 

fairway. 

“I was even par and 

struggling and I hit a ball 

that was going out of 

bounds,” he remembered, 

“but it hit a tree and went 

into the fairway and I made 

a birdie.” 

After coming on strong 

at the start of his second 

round that ended late in 

the morning India began 

third round play at 2:10 

p.m. in a six-way tie for 

third place with an 8-under 

par 136, one stroke back of 

Holtz and David Cooke of 

Bolingbrook. 

“I didn’t really put myself 

in a lot of trouble,” 

India said, assessing his 

solid final round. “My short 

game bailed me out when it 

had to.” 

He birdied the second, 

eighth, 10th, 12th and 18th 

holes. On the 18th his drive 

landed on 589-yard 18th — 

which is the longest hole 

on the course — his drive 

landed on the cart path and 

carried nearly 400 yards, 

putting him in excellent position. 

Playing in the final threesome 

behind India, the 

power-hitting Holtz drove 

nearly the same distance 

and was on the green in 

two, looking at an eagle 

putt from about 18 feet in 

front of the hole that would 

have forced a playoff. His 

putt curved left just before 

the hole and stopped 18 

inches beyond it. 

Holtz had to settle for 

a birdie on the hole and 

second place in the tournament. 

India, whose performance 

was highlighted by 

15 birdies during the final 

two days, was playing in 

the Illinois Open for the 

first time since 2015 when 

he came in second. By virtue 

of his victory, he collected 

$19,004 while Holtz 

took home $13,063 for 

his second straight second 

place performance. 

Tying for third with 

11-under par scores of 205 

were Brian Bullington of 

Frankfort and David Perkins 

of East Peoria, who received 

the trophy that went 

to the top amateur. 

Perkins had a 69 in the final 

round after shooting 70 

in the first round and 66 in 

the second. 

“Overall I’m happy with 

the way I played this week, 

at Ravinia in the first round 

and here yesterday,” said 

the Illinois State University 

rising junior. “I played with 

Vince in the second round 

and we made some birdies 

after the rain delay.” 

Defending champion 

Patrick Flavin of Highwood, 

who won the 2017 

Illinois Open as an amateur 

prior to his senior year at 

Miami of Ohio, made his 

professional debut in this 

tournament and finished in 

a three-way tie for 30th. 

Flavin played steady golf 

as attested by rounds of 70, 

74 and 70 to finish 2-under 

par at 214 and earned 

a paycheck of $1,045 in his 

pro debut. 

“I hit it great but I didn’t 

make as many putts,” he 

said. “There definitely 

were a lot of nerves. Trying 

to defend is very tough but 

you also want to get off on 

the right foot in your first 

pro start.” 

Four-time Illinois Open 

champion Mike Small 

wound up in a five-way tie 

for 13th. The University of 

Illinois coach shoot 71, 70 

and 69 to finish at 6-under 

Highland Park’s Bret Leon hits a shot out of the rough 

during the 69th Illinois Open Aug. 8 in Glenview. Brittany 

Kapa/22nd Century Media 

210. Lake Forest’s Brett 

Walker (72-67-71) also 

was among those in the 

deadlock. 

Matt Murlick, the former 

New Trier star who has 

continued to excel during 

his first two years at Marquette 

University, was one 

of the three golfers who 

tied for second last year and 

this year he tied for seventh 

with an 8-under par 208. 

Locked in a six-way tie 

for 24th at 3-under par 213 

were two of Flavin’s teammates 

at Miami of Ohio: 

redshirt senior Brian Ohr, 

the IHSA 2013 Class 3A 

individual champion from 

Glenbrook North, and 

Charlie Nikitas, a 2017 

Glebrook South alumnus. 

Lake Forest High School 

2018 graduate Connor Polender 

was another area 

golfer involved in the 24th 

place logjam. 

There were two golfers 

who had holes-in-one during 

the tournament. 

Jeff Kellen of Machnesney 

Park was the first 

player to tee off on the 

final day, starting the last 

two holes of his rain-delayed 

second round at 8 

a.m., and he found the cup 

on the 176-yard hole with 

a 7-iron. Kellen went on 

to finish fifth with a 206 

total. 

The other hole-in-one 

was by Garrett Chaussard, 

director of instruction at 

Skokie Country Club. He 

used a three-wood to accomplish 

the feat in the 

second round at the 226- 

yard ninth hole at The Glen 

Club. However, Chaussard 

failed to make the cut.

Flavin’s putts dampen pro debut at Illinois Open 

Neil Milbert 


Three days after ending 

his distinguished amateur 

career in the round of 16 

at the Western Amateur 

at Sunset Ridge in Northfield, 

Highwood’s Patrick 

Flavin began his professional 

career on Aug. 6 by 

trying to defend his championship 

in the Illinois 

Open at The Glen Club. 

Flavin had a 72-hole 

score of 17-under par 267 

in the Western Amateur to 

tie for seventh in stroke 

play, easily putting the 

2018 graduate of Miami 

of Ohio into “Sweet 16” 

match play for the first 

time in his four appearances 

in the prestigious 

tournament. 

Then, University of 

Georgia junior Spencer 

Ralston eliminated the former 

Highland Park High 

School star with a 3-and-2 

triumph. 

In making his pro debut 

in the Illinois Open, Flavin 

failed to come up with 

an encore performance, 

finishing in a three-way 

tie for 30th with rounds 

of 70-74-70 for a 2-under 

score of 214 that was good 

enough to earn him his 

first pro paycheck, $1,045. 

The victorious Vince India, 

a 29-year-old pro from 

Deerfield, finished 14-under 

and collected $19,000. 

Although he was unsuccessful 

in his quest for a 

second straight championship, 

Flavin walked off the 

course in an upbeat frame 

of mind. 

2017 &2018 WINNER 

“Two birdies and no 

birdies – I hit it great but 

I didn’t make as many 

putts,” he said, assessing 

his final round. “I’ve always 

been a good putter 

so I’m not worried. At the 

Western Amateur, I was 

making everything I was 

looking at. 

“I’m optimistic and excited. 

Everything feels 

really good. I’m taking a 

little bit of a break to work 

on my game before (PGA) 

pre-qualifying at Lincoln, 

Neb. at the end of the 

month. After that there are 

six locations (for qualifying 

school).” 

His farther, Mark Flavin, 

saw Patrick’s performances 

in the Western 

Amateur and Illinois Open 

in the same light.

“He had a great week at 

the Western Amateur and 

he’s hitting the ball just as 

well here,” Mark observed 

during the final round of 

the Illinois Open. “The 

putts just aren’t going in.” 

Flavin didn’t begin 

playing golf until he was 

11-years-old. Until then, 

his sports were baseball 

and soccer. 

“Once I started I fell 

in love with it,” he reminisced. 

“It wasn’t until the 

summer before my freshman 

year of high school 

tryouts that I started playing 

competitively. The 

summer after freshman 

year I worked my butt off 

and got a ton better. I made 

the varsity as a sophomore 

and that kind of began an 

upward trajectory to where 

I am now.” 

Flavin was at his best 

last summer and fall when 

he won six of eight tournaments. 

His victory in the 

Illinois Open was prefaced 

by a triumph in the Illinois 

Amateur at Calumet Country 

Club. 

During his collegiate 

career at Miami, Flavin 

won a school record eight 

tournaments. He earned 

first team Mid-American 

Conference honors every 

year and was named to 

the MAC All-Tournament 

team. 

All four years he roomed 

with his Miami teammate 

and Central Suburban 

League rival Brian Ohr, 

winner of the 2013 IHSA 

Class 3A championship 

during his senior year at 

Glenbrook North. 

“Patrick and I have 

known one another since 

sophomore year in high 

school,” said Ohr, who 

redshirted during his first 

year at Miami. “He was 

someone I could bounce

ideas off. 

“After college next year 

I’ll also be turning pro 

and I’m hoping it’ll be the 

same. I’ll be keeping an 

eye on his progress (as a 

pro), that’s for sure.” 

According to Flavin, 

having Ohr as a roommate 

helped his game as well: 

“Brian didn’t get off to 

the start he wanted in college 

but he has kept working 

and improving. At the 

same time he was pushing 

me to get better. That was 

a huge reason I got better.” 

Joining Flavin and Ohr 

at Miami last year was 

Charlie Nikitas, a 2017 

Glenbrook South graduate 

and former Titans’ star. 

Ohr and Nikitas also 

qualified for the final 

round of the Illinois Open 

and they were among the 

six players tied for 24th

From the Sports Editorial Intern 

Reflecting on a summer of learning, insight 

Michael Parsky 

Editorial Intern 

Wow, summer really 

does breeze 

by. 

It feels like yesterday 

that I was unpacking my 

gear from college and 

ready to begin my three 

months of rest and relaxation. 

As I now prepare to say 

goodbye to my friends 

and family, and head 

back to the University of 

Wisconsin-Madison where 

I will begin my sophomore 

year in September, I’d like 

to reflect on the amazing 

experience I had at 

22nd Century Media and 

acknowledge those who 

made it so great as well. 

To begin, I’d like to 

thank Mr. Eric DeGrechie, 

the managing editor of 

22nd Century Media’s 

North Shore office, for giving 

me the special opportunity 

to cover high school 

sports in the communities I 

grew up in and around. 

I also owe a huge thank 

you to the three sports editors 

I worked closely with, 

Brittany Kapa, Michael 

Dwojak, and Michael 

Wojtychiw, for taking 

me under their wings and 

teaching me the tricks-ofthe-trade 

on how to be a 

great and effective professional 

journalist. 

I came into the job 

expecting to perform the 

cliché duties that intern’s 

do in Hollywood films: going 

on coffee runs, making 

copies, and keeping your 

head low. 

That was not the case 

at all. 

Within five minutes of 

introducing myself, shaking 

everyone’s hands, and 

logging on to the Wi-Fi 

network, I hit the ground 

running as an email with 

my first two writing assignments 

had been sent to 

me before I even stepped 

foot in the office. 

And the rest is history. 

I believe that the only 

way a writer gets better is 

if he or she writes as much 

as possible. For most of 

the summer, I was turning 

in two-to-three articles a 

week, which was astronomically 

higher than I 

expected. 

I think the reason why 

I wrote so much this summer 

was the high level of 

trust my editors had in me. 

They always were willing 

to give me extra assignments, 

edited my articles 

right in front of me before 

they were published, and 

were never worried about 

me missing a deadline. 

This confidence my editors 

exhibited toward me 

really made a difference 

in my writing and really 

allowed me to grow and 

flourish as a writer and I 

could not be more appreciative 

of that. 

Aside from having the 

AP-style rules seared into 

my head (thanks guys), 

waiting around for some 

coach to respond to an 

email I sent a week ago, 

or having a communications 

coordinator at an 

undisclosed university give 

me the wrong time for an 

interview because he forgot 

that we are in central-standard 

time, I really had a fun 

time working in the office, 

whether it was cracking 

sarcastic jokes with Ms. 

Kapa and Mr. Wojtychiw 

during my intermittent trips 

to the editors desks to ask 

questions, or listening to 

Mr. DeGrechie talk sports 

with the office and say how 

amazing the New York 

Yankees are. 

From a worldly standpoint, 

something I realized 

throughout my time at 

22nd Century Media is that 

everyone has a good story 

to tell. I wrote a lot of feature 

articles on athletes this 

summer from all different 

sports and backgrounds. 

To hear about the good and 

the bad, the adversity, the 

perseverance, and ultimately 

the triumphs from 

these athletes was truly 

memorable. To bring their 

stories out of obscurity, 

and unveil them to the 

public, is probably one of 

the most rewarding jobs a 

journalist can do. 

Additionally, I also 

learned how small the 

world can be. To travel and 

visit the school’s I grew 

up competing against on 

the basketball court, and 

to be able to meet and 

interview people within 

my hometown community 

of Lake Forest, including 

interviewing my former 

high school basketball 

coach, was definitely a 

highlight of my time here 

at the paper. 

With troves of knowledge 

and experience 

under my belt, I now look 

forward to taking all I 

have learned and applying 

it up in Madison. As a 

newly admitted student to 

the School of Journalism 

and Mass Communication 

at Wisconsin, I hope all I 

have accomplished here at 

22nd Century Media will 

translate to success in the 

classroom at UW and in 

practice as I look to rejoin 

The Daily Cardinal student 

newspaper in the fall as 

well. 

For one last time, and 

for good measure, thank 

you 22nd Century Media 

for granting me the opportunity 

to work for you 

and giving me invaluable 

experience that I will use 

going forward. 

And to steal KVWN
