Second Northbrook After Dark a glowing success 

Hilary Anderson 

Freelance Reporter 

The Northbrook Park 

District’s second annual 

Northbrook After Dark 

event once again proved 

having old-fashioned fun 

transcends all ages. 

Teams of four individuals 

raced on foot in the 

dark and competed with 

each other to master eight 

physically and mentally 

challenging games placed 

around a course in the 

Northbrook Park District’s 

Techny Park Prairie and 

Fields. Each team member 

participated in every game. 

It was a constant scene 

of laughter, silly, yet creative 

outfits, glow sticks, 

flashlights and the innerchild 

coming out of each 

participant at the event held 

Friday, Aug. 17. 

Ideas for the variations 

on standard games had 

their beginnings last spring. 

“The fun actually started 

last April when members 

of the park district began 

brainstorming ideas,” said 

Dan Catron, recreation supervisor 

at the Northbrook 

Park District. “We had fun 

thinking up possibilities. 

We wanted them to be different 

from last year’s challenges.” 

The object of the Northbrook 

After Dark event was 

to be the team that finished 

first. There also was a prize 

for the most colorful team. 

The team coined Justin 

Time team was back for 

a second year. Each team 

member wore a shirt of a 

famous person with the 

first name of Justin. 

Megan Van Dergeest 

donned the shirt of baseball 

star pitcher Justin Verlander; 

Blake Van Dergeest 

wore one of Justin Bieber; 

friends Deborah Medhurst 

Northbrook residents (left to right) Ryan Rassin, Brad 

Walker, Charlie Walker, 11, and Ellie Rassin, 12, all of 

Northbrook, were named the best-dressed team.

had Justin Timberlake and 

Mark Medhurst had one of 

Justin Trudeau. 

“We’re here to defend 

our title,” Blake Van Dergeest 

said. “We won last 

year.” 

The Dark Side team 

members similarly were 

event repeaters. 

“We are always on the 

hunt for different things to 

do, not just going to restaurants,” 

Aimee Daly said. 

“This event fills the bill.” 

Her team included husband, 

Tom Daly and friends 

Lydia and Joe Chen. 

There was the Light Side 

team with members Ryan 

Rassin and daughter, Ellie, 

12, and Brad Walker with 

son, Charlie, 11. 

The male team members 

wore hats with “flair” hair 

while Ellie sported a colorful 

mohawk. Ellie Rassin 

is credited with putting the 

team together. 

“We are big fans of TV’s 

‘Amazing Race’ so we 

thought we would try this,” 

Ryan Rassin said. 

Audrey Waltenburg 

was captain of her Cosmic 

Chaos team. It also 

was her birthday. Her two 

daughters, Hailey, 15, and 

Brooke, 14, signed their 

mother up for the event and 

were members of the team 

with Audrey’s friend Holly 

Team Cosmic Chaos, comprised of (left to right) Holly Reschke, Brooke Waltenburg, 

14, Hailey Waltenburg, 15, and Audrey Waltenburg, all of Northbrook, were the 

first-place finishers on Friday, Aug. 17 at the second annual Northbrook After Dark.

“There are so many 

amazing things the Northbrook

Serena Schaffner said. 

“Things like this event creates 

community and is really 

fun.”

Maolina gave their team. 

Their twin sons Noah and 

Jason, 12, were members.

Northbrook Village Board 

Approval of eating disorder treatment center inches closer 

Fouad Egbaria 


The Northbrook Village 

Board moved one step 

closer toward approval 

of a center for treatment 

of adolescents with eating 

disorders, opting to 

amend an existing restrictive 

covenant that would 

allow for the use at a 

property located at the intersection 

of Lake Cook 

and Sanders roads. 

At the Northbrook Village 

Board’s Tuesday, 

Aug. 14 regular meeting, 

the board agreed by voice 

vote to place the approval 

of an Eating Recovery 

Center, to be located at 

4201 Lake Cook Road, on 

the agenda for the board’s 

next meeting. The applicant, 

Crossroads Northbrook, 

LLC, is also the 

owner of the property. 

The property on which 

the applicant seeks to

bring the recovery center 

to is subject to a restrictive 

covenant, which prohibits 

the proposed use on 

the property. The applicant 

requested the Village 

repeal the covenant; however, 

the board agreed to 

follow a staff recommendation 

to retain but amend 

the restrictive covenant. 

As such, the application, 

including the amended 

covenant, will be up for 

approval at the next meeting, 

currently scheduled 

for Aug. 28. 

Preliminary review of 

the application began in 

January. Since then, the 

proposal has undergone 

some changes following 

feedback from Village 

staff and from residents 

(public hearings on the 

proposed center were 

held June 5, June 19 and 

July 17). Included among 

those changes is the relocation 

of a trash enclosure 

that under the original 

proposal would have been 

located close to the residential 

properties on the 

east property line. 

Eating Recovery Center, 

which is based in 

Denver, Colo., provides 

treatment for anorexia, 

bulimia, binge eating disorder 

and other unspecified 

eating disorders, according 

to its website. 

Trustee James Karagianis, 

serving as president 

pro tem in Village 

President Sandy Frum’s 

absence, raised concerns 

regarding security at the 

proposed facility, particularly 

given its proximity 

to the Northbrook Montessori 

School. 

Senior Planner Swati 

Pandey summarized the 

dialogue to date between 

the Village and the applicant 

regarding security 

at the proposed facility. 

Pandey noted the Northbrook 

Police Department 

had previously expressed 

some concerns early on in 

the process, namely with 

respect to the possibility 

of a distressed patient attempting 

to leave the facility, 

while also noting 

the business of the intersection 

and the location’s 

proximity to a school and 

Interstate 294. 

The applicant responded 

with details regarding 

the facility’s door alarm 

system and estimated staff 

response times. 

“It was responded to 

[the Northbrook Police 

Department’s] satisfaction,” 

Pandey said regarding 

the applicant’s 

explanation of security 

protocols. 

In a June 28 memo from 

Police Commander Michael 

Metrick to Pandey, 

Metrick indicated satisfaction 

with the applicant’s 

security measures. 

“Upon concluding review 

of the applicant’s 

additional detailed plan 

acknowledging my prior 

concerns, I find they present 

a reasonable, well 

thought out series of security 

measures and have 

addressed my questions 

regarding potential unwanted 

egress/flight by a 

patient in distress,” Metrick 

wrote. “Although 

no plan is foolproof, it 

is apparent the applicant 

has proposed measures in 

place to mitigate security 

issues in a realistic manner.” 

Approval requires, 

among other variations, 

rezoning of the subject 

property from R-1 Single 

Family Residential to O-2 

Limited Office District. 

The Northbrook Plan 

Commission at its Aug. 

7 meeting voted in the 

affirmative, by a 7-2-1 

vote, to send the application 

on, allowing the Village 

Board to determine 

whether or not to repeal 

or amend the restrictive 

covenant. 

Northbrook resident 

Dan Shulman urged the 

board to approve the Eating 

Recovery Center proposal, 

as he related the 

story of his son’s struggle 

with an eating disorder 

and the successful treatment 

his son received at 

the Eating Recovery Center 

in Denver. 

“There is one child in 

this community, in our 

village, who very well 

could be dead if not for 

the ERC,” Shulman said. 

“I’m asking you to keep 

in mind, as we talk about 

making sure businesses 

in this community uphold 

our shared values as a village, 

that this is not an enterprise 

coming here as a 

convenience to just make 

money off of the village. 

This is an enterprise that 

may very well save lives.” 

Shulman added there is 

a need for such a facility 

in the area, particularly 

given the stresses high 

school students face. 

“This community — 

Glenbrook North, Glenbrook 

South, Stevenson, 

Deerfield, New Trier — 

these are schools that for 

all the reputation and success, 

can grind up teenagers 

and spit them out,” 

he said. “The pressure to 

succeed, whatever success 

means, is too much 

for many kids to bear.”

September; data regarding 

student opportunities and 

participation will be collected 

during October and 

November; and a report on 

findings and recommendations 

will be submitted to 

the Board of Education in 

December. 

Bids for safety and security 

enhancement projects 

are scheduled to be approved 

from early to mid- 

March and these projects 

are scheduled for completion 

by September. 

The proposed life-safety 

projects will be presented 

to the Facilities Committee 

for review in September 

and to the Board of Education 

in late October or early 

November. Approval of 

bids is planned for early to 

mid-March, and September 

of 2019 is the target date for 

completion of the projects. 

Surveys of students and 

teachers will be conducted 

before and after they move 

to pilot classrooms from 

November through January 

and there will be an analysis 

of the results in May. 

The analysis is designed 

to measure the effect of the 

new learning space environments 

as compared to 

the original classrooms and 

the impact on student learning. 

A decision on the start 

time at GBN will be based 

on a financial analysis of the 

current transportation contract 

and the impact a new 

transportation agreement 

would have on grammar 

school feeder districts. The 

analysis is projected to be 

completed by November. 

The school calendar decision 

will be based on an 

all-encompassing survey of 

the school community to be 

conducted from mid to late 

September. An analysis of 

the data and findings will 

be presented to the board 

in late October. Based on 

the findings, the 2019-20 

Dark 

From Page 3 

calendar is scheduled to 

be adopted by late October 

and the 2020-21 calendar 

by May. 

Discussions on types of 

evaluations and possible 

changes within departments 

to produce greater 

consistency will continue 

from September through 

January, at which time 

changes are expected to be 

implemented. 

The homework initiative 

is a follow-up to a 2016 

baseline survey administered 

to students and teachers. 

Another survey will be 

conducted in November 

followed by comparative 

analysis of the 2016-18 

results in February and/or 

March. 

Several GBN parents 

express disappointment 

with golf program 

Three parents of golfers 

who were hoping to play 

for GBN this fall came to 

the meeting to express their 

disappointment in the program. 

Alex Freund said his son, 

Adam, had his heart set on 

school,” Tim Mateja said. 

Carol and Brian Carlson 

and Martha and Chris 

Carlos called their team 

Carl, a combined abbreviation 

of both their last 

names. 

Once nightfall darkened 

the sky, the teams were 

all set with light sticks, 

flashlights, maps and instructions. 

Catron did the countdown 

and starting the 

race. And off the teams 

ran to meet the challenges 

of the Hula Hoop 

Walk, Nut Stacker, River 

Crossing, A Bit Dicey, 

Movie Trivia, Marshmallow 

Shorter, Panty Hose 

Bowling and Riddles. 

There were peals of 

laughter off in the distance 

and shouts of, “We 

did it” as teams completed 

the events. 

Noah Malina returned 

saying his favorite was 

the Hula Hoop Walk. 

Team Awesome liked 

the Panty Hose Bowling 

as did others. And, at each 

event, teams used their 

best creativity to complete 

playing for the Spartans 

this season, but the senior 

missed the tryout day because 

his doctor in mid- 

July advised him to “take a 

while off” to recover from 

a shoulder injury. Alex said 

Adam notified the coach 

(Justin Gerbich) of his situation 

and his expectations 

of returning to action this 

month, but received no 

response and isn’t on the 

2018-19 roster. 

Alan Myers said his 

sophomore son, Evan, 

missed the tryout because 

he was participating in the 

prestigious pro-am tournament, 

the Illinois Open, at 

The Glen Club. According 

to the father, Evan also informed 

the coach, but he 

too has been left off the 

roster. Alan pointed out 

that several other area high 

schools were represented 

by their golfers in the Illinois 

Open. 

Robin O’Regan, who is 

the father of sophomore 

golfer Kevin O’Regan, 

came to the meeting to 

speak in support of the 

other two fathers and their 

sons. 

the challenge. 

“There was a lot of hugging 

going on at the River 

Crossing,” laughed Blake 

Van Dergeest. 

He was talking about 

participants trying to figure 

out how to cross the 

river, which really was 

grass, on three planks of 

wood when four people 

had to do it. 

Pizza awaited the entire 

group on their return 

along with other treats. 

At the end of the evening, 

awards were announced 

and medals were 

given.

Northbrook motorist seriously injured in LF crash 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

A female driver, of 

Northbrook, was taken to 

the hospital by helicopter 

after colliding with a 

semi-truck just after 10 

p.m. Friday, Aug. 17, on 

Route 41 north of Old Elm 

Road, according to a press 

release from the Lake Forest 

Fire Department. 

When Lake Forest fire 

and police departments 

arrived on scene, they encountered 

a 2009 Subaru 

Outback that was underneath 

the rear of a tractor/ 

trailer style semi-truck. 

The automobile was on 

fire, still trapped under the 

semi-truck, with flames 

From AUG. 18 

coming from the engine 

compartment of the automobile. 

Deputy Chief of Police 

Rob Copeland said the 

semi-truck was sitting at 

the intersection waiting 

for the light to change, 

when the semi was hit 

from behind by the driver 

of the Subaru Outback. 

The front-end of the 

Subaru was under the 

semi “almost into the 

drivers space, about nine 

inches from her face,” Copeland 

said. 

In an effort to protect 

the lone occupant of the 

car, Lake Forest Police attempted 

to extinguish the 

fire with fire extinguishers. 

The Lake Forest Fire 

Department upgraded response 

for additional fire, 

EMS units and a Lifestar 

helicopter. 

Firefighters also simultaneously 

initiated aggressive 

fire attack and 

administered emergency 

medical care for the patient 

trapped inside the 

vehicle. Extrication was 

performed to remove the 

patient from the vehicle. 

The patient of the Subaru 

was transported to Advocate 

Lutheran General 

Hospital in Park Ridge 

in serious condition with 

multiple injuries. The occupant 

of the semi-truck 

was not injured and did 

not have insurance. There 

were no injuries to bystanders 

or firefighters. 

At this time there are 

pending charges following 

toxicology reports, according 

to Copeland. 

Route 41 was shut down 

in both directions to allow 

for safe landing of the helicopter. 

Lake Forest was assisted 

at the scene by Highland 

Park, Deerfield and 

Northbrook fire departments. 

The scene was turned 

over to the Lake Forest 

Police Department for investigation.

NBJH student participates 

in ComEd Icebox Derby 

Staff Report 

For five years, ComEd 

has set out to encourage 

young women to pursue 

careers in STEM through 

its Icebox Derby program. 

Each year, ComEd selects 

30 young women 

students, ages 13-18, to 

participate in the program. 

The participants include 

students from communities 

throughout Chicago 

and the surrounding suburbs. 

Northbrook resident 

Andrea Chacon, a student 

at Northbrook Junior 

High, was selected to participate 

this year. 

Throughout the program, 

participants worked 

in teams to transform used 

refrigerators into electric- 

and solar-powered 

race cars. The fridges 

were collected through 

a ComEd program that 

picks up customers’ old 

working refrigerators for 

free and recycles them in 

an environmentally responsible 

way. 

Over a three-week span 

from July 19 to Aug. 4, 

students met regularly and 

worked alongside ComEd 

mentors to build their cars 

for the derby. 

The cars were equipped 

with software that provided 

real-time metrics 

that helped the girls drive 

more safely and efficiently 

and monitor their speed 

and battery voltage. 

The program cumulated 

with a race on Saturday, 

Aug. 4, at Daley Plaza. 

The race tested not only 

the girls’ speed and craftsmanship, 

but also their 

analytical skills and ability 

to work together to 

achieve a common goal. 

Through the program, 

the young women will 

each receive $1,500 in 

scholarship money.

Animal Encounters session educates guests about coyote population 



The benefits coyotes 

provide are often misunderstood 

by many. 

Ryan DePauw, a naturalist 

at Northbrook’s 

River Trail Nature Center, 

introduced a coyote to the 

public at one of its Animal 

Encounter sessions held 

Sunday, Aug. 19 at the nature 

center. 

“They benefit humans 

by keeping the mouse and 

rabbit population at bay,” 

DePauw said. “This coyote 

is our newest resident 

and about four months old. 

He is from a Tennessee 

animal shelter. The coyote 

was found in a litter of 

what looked like puppies 

and brought to the shelter 

there. … Coyotes are part 

of the canine family — related 

to wolves, foxes and 

dogs — but still are wild 

animals.” 

DePauw added once a 

person handles a coyote 

puppy, any fear of humans 

goes away and the animal 

cannot learn how to be a 

wild animal and live in the 

wild. 

“It is called imprinting,” 

he said. “Once he sees a 

human as his parent, he 

considers it to be his parent. 

We will put this coyote 

on display and use him to 

help teach the public about 

other coyotes. We do not 

give them names, which 

are for domesticated animals 

living in a house.” 

The River Trail Nature 

Center will provide the 

coyote with a good quality 

of life by not only providing 

the animal with water, 

food and shelter but also 

exercise, training and enrichment. 

“The coyote will be 

trained by staff members 

in the same way one would 

train a dog,” DePauw said. 

“He will get rewards with 

treats and toys.” 

DePauw added that coyotes 

are smart animals and 

have learned how to coexist 

with humans. 

“There has never been 

a recorded attack in Illinois,” 

DePauw said. “They 

are the largest remaining 

predators in the state. 

Black bears and wolves 

are gone. They have either 

been hunted or gone north. 

About 2,000 coyotes now 

live in Northern Illinois.” 

DePauw reminded 

homeowners not to put 

food outside for animals. 

“Please do not feed wild 

animals either,” he said. 

“It is what attracts coyotes 

to this area. If you 

know there are coyotes 

by your neighborhood, do 

not leave small animals in 

the backyard. Walk your 

dogs on a leash. If possible, 

have motion-sensitive 

lights in the backyard 

that go on when an animal 

walks through it.” 

The eyes of Avery Mora, 

2, were transfixed on the 

coyote as he ran about his 

shelter. 

She came with her parents, 

Joseph and Samantha 

Mora, to watch the coyote 

being trained and listen to 

his story. 

Kinana Tilsch, 8, also 

watched attentively. 

“I love coyotes,” she 

said with a smile on her 

face. 

Kinana and her parents, 

Doug Tilsch and Nilda 

Gomez-Tilsch just happened 

to be visiting the 

forest area.

sessions. For more

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

‘Johnny, no!’: Alleged 

details of Northfield 

murder disclosed in court 

Based on the charges 

facing the suspect of a 

Northfield shooting, John 

Gately III, of Winnetka, a 

Cook County judge ruled 

Thursday, Aug. 16, in bond 

court that there will be no 

bail set for the suspect. 

Gately, 66, was charged 

with one count of homicide 

for the killing his 

brother-in-law Stephen 

Shapiro, 72, of Northfield, 

and one count of attempted 

homicide for trying to kill 

Joan Shapiro, Stephen’s 

wife and Gately’s sister, on 

Monday, Aug. 13, at their 

residence in the 200 block 

of Latrobe Avenue. 

In court, Assistant 

State’s Attorney Andreana 

Turano detailed the 

shooting as well as its circumstances, 

while a handcuffed 

Gately stood at the 

neighboring lectern in a 

powder blue, two-piece 

jail uniform. With wide 

eyes behind his glasses, 

he stared forward at Judge 

Anjana M.J. Hansen, appearing 

emotionless. 

Gately, according to his 

Chicago-based attorney 

Michael J. Petro, will plead 

not guilty to the crimes. 

He is due back in court at 

10:30 a.m. Aug. 30. 

The night of the murder, 

the Shapiros were at their 

home “listening to meditation 

after finishing a quiet 

dinner,” Turano detailed, 

when the doorbell rang. 

Stephen answered the door 

while Joan remained in the 

living room. 

It was Gately, she said. 

“[Gately] asked 

‘Where’s Joan?’ And after 

Stephen Shapiro had told 

him that she was not available, 

[Gately] fired his gun 

multiple times,” Turano 

told the courtroom. “Stephen 

Shapiro yelled out, 

‘Johnny, no!’ Stephen Shapiro 

lurched into the kitchen 

area. Joan got up from 

her chair and began to 

hide behind another chair. 

[Gately] came into the living 

room, pointed his gun 

directly at Joan and stated, 

‘I’m going to kill you.’”

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

Emergency meeting held 

after mold found in HPHS 

After mold was found 

in Highland Park High 

School’s science area, the 

Township High School 

District 113 Board of Education 

held an emergency 

meeting in conjunction 

with its regular meeting 

Monday, Aug. 13, to address 

the issue. 

“Earlier today we discovered 

a situation in 

Highland Park High 

School, with the presence 

of mold in the science 

room area,” said Ben Martindale, 

the co-interim superintendent. 

“That needs 

to be taken care of immediately.” 

The district needed the 

approval of the board of 

education to award a contract 

immediately, without 

going through the normal 

bidding procedures the 

district uses for other work 

on the schools. 

The board unanimously 

approved, and a $94,000 

contract was given to 

Brouwer Brothers Services 

to eradicate the mold in 

the school. 

Because the amount 

exceeded a threshold of 

$50,000, the district needed 

to hold an emergency 

meeting to approve the 

contract. 

The company began 

work Aug. 14, and said 

they could be finished by 

Thursday, Aug. 16. Freshman 

orientation began Friday, 

Aug. 17, and classes 

resumed at the school 

Monday, Aug. 20. 

“Part of the reason for 

the cost amount is they’re 

going to be working 

around the clock to get this 

taken care of,” Martindale 

said. “We want to have the 

work done before we have 

students in that area on 

Friday.” 

Martindale said the 

cause of the mold is unknown, 

but could be due 

to “the air conditioning 

in that part of the building 

had to be shut off for a 

few days last week, and it 

contributed to higher than 

normal humidity levels.”

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Lake Bluff considers 

‘relaxing’ solar energy 

regulations 

Solar energy regulations 

in the village was the focal 

point of the Lake Bluff 

Joint Plan Commission 

and Zoning Board of Appeals’ 

Wednesday, Aug. 15 

meeting. 

The commission voted 

unanimously to recommended 

to the Village 

Board that regulations 

concerning solar energy 

systems be relaxed and 

that Chip Hance and his 

wife, Marietta, be granted 

a special use permit to install 

solar panels atop the 

garage on the property of 

the home she owns at 600 

Arbor Drive in the Country 

Estates area. 

“It’s a very large piece 

of property, a huge lot,” 

said Ron Cowgill, of Win- 

Sol Power Co. which will 

install the panels. “The 

(solar panel) system will 

be integrated into the existing 

system and has been 

approved by ComEd. It’s 

a non-mechanical system; 

there are no moving parts.” 

Before considering the 

Arbor Drive request, the 

Commission members had 

a lengthy discussion on the 

text amendment relaxing 

regulations. 

Most of the members 

were strong proponents. 

“We should make it easier 

to install solar panels,” 

Commission Member David 

Burns said . “It would 

only enhance the character 

of the village. I believe 

this will increase the property 

value, not only for the 

property owner, but owners 

of surrounding property. 

I suspect in the next 

10 years a lot of these will 

be going up.” 

Commission Member 

George Russel was also in 

favor. 

“I too am in favor of relaxing 

the regulations,” he 

said. “I don’t see any reason 

to have a more rigorous 

review for the groundmounted 

systems.”

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette Park Board: 

Demolition of Gillson beach 

house delayed 

Demolition was originally 

slated to begin the 

day after Labor Day for 

the $9.7 million Gillson 

beach house and parking 

lot project the board approved 

July 31, but the 

start date has been pushed 

back. 

Due to a one-week delay 

in the bid process 

compared to the initial 

schedule, work is anticipated 

to begin the Monday 

following Labor Day, 

as compared to originally 

planned, the day after Labor 

Day. At this time, it 

is not anticipated that this 

delay in starting the work 

will cause a delay in the 

conclusion of the project 

prior to Memorial Day 

weekend in 2019. 

“We are looking at a 

demolition happening 

probably about a week 

after Labor Day, probably 

somewhere about Sept. 

10,” Executive Director 

Steve Wilson said. 

Subsequent to the 

board’s July 31 action, 

the staff at WB Olson, the 

construction managers for 

the project, as well as the 

architects for the project, 

Woodhouse Tinucci Architects, 

have been vetting the 

bids and compiling contracts 

in conjunction with 

the District’s legal counsel 

from Tressler LLP. As the 

contracts are assembled 

and ready for signature, 

Executive Director Steve 

Wilson has been signing 

the contracts in accordance 

with the board’s July 31 

vote. 

“I’ve been working a 

lot with our construction 

managers at WB Olson on 

getting contracts signed,” 

Wilson said. “They are 

facilitating the contract 

process and getting the 

documents to me to sign 

electronically and then 

back to the contractors. 

So we have some of our 

trades already fully signed 

and some yet to go.”

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Man exposes genitalia to 

pedestrian — fifth similar 

incident since March 

A man exposed his genitalia 

to a woman who was 

walking westbound in 

the 1900 block of Willow 

Road. 

According to police, 

the man was standing off 

the sidewalk near bushes 

and exposed himself as 

the complainant passed 

through the area at approximately 

12:53 p.m. 

Aug. 10. The woman left 

the scene without further 

problems. 

The culprit was described 

as a white, 

170-pound male with 

white hair between the 

ages of 50-60. His height 

was estimated at 5-foot-7 

to 5-foot-10. He was wearing 

a black baseball cap, 

medium gray shirt, camouflage 

shorts and gym 

shoes. 

This was the fifth similar 

incident since March. 

In mid-march, a jogger 

reported that a 30- to 

35-year-old male ran out 

of the bushes west of the 

path along Techny Basin, 

sat on a bench, pulled his 

pants down and began 

masturbatinga. The individual 

left the scene before 

police arrived. 

Less than a week after 

that, a man wearing a dark 

coat exposed himself to a 

woman during the early 

morning hours on March 

24 in the 1600 block of 

Greenwood Road. The 

victim was sitting in her 

parked car when the culprit 

approached the vehicle 

and opened his jacket. 

When the victim realized 

the man was otherwise 

naked, she honked her car 

horn until he ran away. 

He returned a few moments 

later, but fled eastbound 

through an apartment 

complex when she 

began to call the police. 

Responders couldn’t locate 

the culprit, who was 

last seen wearing only a 

dark jacket with a red-andwhite-plaid 

pattern.

Orientation on Aug. 14. 

Photos Submitted 

District 30 Superintendent 

Dr. Brian K. Wegley 

welcomed 126 teachers to 

the Teacher Institute Days’ 

assembly for the last time 

in Maple School’s multipurpose 

room on Aug. 15. 

By next August 2019, the 

new Maple School will be 

open, and the Teacher Institute 

Days will be held in 

a state-of-the-art facility. 

Wegley spoke of how 

as a district, the focus is 

on the cycle of continuous 

improvement — collegiality 

and relationships, 

and child-centric practices, 

which leads to educating 

all students. 

He also showed a snapshot 

of the district: 1,184 

students; 404 at Maple 

School; 415 at Wescott 

School; and 365 (114 kindergarteners) 

at Willowbrook 

School. 

In addition, Dr. Wegley 

thanked the PTOs for their 

ongoing support of the 

schools and introduced this 

year’s PTO leaders: Maple 

Co-Presidents are Becky 

Fliegel and Erin Sommer; 

Wescott Co-Presidents are 

Michelle King and Christie 

Hartbarger, and Willowbrook 

Co-Presidents 

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Melissa Hirsch addresses District 30 employees at the 

first day at its annual Institute Day workshops on Aug. 15. Photos Submitted

This year administrators 

are focusing on two 

powerful Board of Education 

goals: Increase 

District 30’s capacity to 

systemically collaborate 

within grade-level teams 

to execute the cycle of 

continuous instructional 

improvement and to ensure 

that facilities possess 

the capacity to support the 

evolving and emerging 

programs and contribute to 

optimal educational experiences. 

Other strategic work 

outlined involved safety 

and security and to improve 

internal District 30 

flow of information with 

an enhanced intranet. 

Board of Education 

President Chuck Gitles 

thanked the Teachers Association 

for the collaborative 

and successful negotiations 

last year. He spoke 

with pride about how District 

30 is a destination 

district for educators and 

families. 

Teacher Association 

President Talia Block introduced 

her team and 

thanked the board and administrators 

for the ongoing 

support. 

Maple School Principal 

Dr. Nate Carter and 

Assistant Principal Betty 

Holzkopf introduced and 

welcomed new staff, as did 

Willowbrook School Principal 

Scott Carlson and 

Wescott School Principal 

Chris Brown. 

Assistant Superintendent 

for Curriculum and

Instruction Dr. Melissa E. 

Hirsch commended the 40 

teachers who participated 

in the Summer Curriculum 

program and helped revise 

and fine-tune specific areas 

of instruction for the coming 

school year. The seven 

projects included world 

languages, science K-5, 

social studies 3-5, virtual 

reality to support Next 

Generation Science Standards 

(NGSS), math K-5, 

NWEA-MAP reading, and 

social emotional learning.

THE NORTH SUBURBANYMCA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITYWITH 

JIM OTIS 

Jim Otis, the original architect 

of the NSYMCA, remembers 

how Ken and Alta Thiel 

launched the campaign to 

create the North Suburban 

YMCA in the 1960s. 

“Ken was sofull of energy 

and positive thoughts that 

he convinced many of us 

to jump on the bandwagon. 

Campaign volunteers canvassed 

the local neighborhoods, 

ringing doorbells, recruiting 

new members, and of course 

looking for financial support. 

The final results over aspan 

of maybe two months were 

truly amazing, giving us the 

green light to proceed with the 

building program and continue 

with the NSYMCA dream. The 

same support and allegiance 

exists to this day. Weall will 

forever begrateful for the 

great gift Ken Thiel and Alta 

gave toour Y.” 

KIDS FUNBYDAY,

allegianceexists to this day

Shermerfest at 40: Low-key event a high point for Historical Society 

Dan Kaye 

Northbrook Historical Society 

Shermerfest will make a 

little history of its own on 

Sept. 16 when the Northbrook 

Historical Societysponsored 

event unfolds at 

Village Green Park for the 

40th year. 

While Northbrook Days, 

which just completed its 

94th edition, is by far the 

longest-running festival in 

Northbrook, Shermerfest 

ranks second. Both events 

have changed a great deal 

over the years, and though 

this year’s Shermerfest 

will feature many familiar 

attractions (classic car 

show, entertainment, food, 

raffle, children’s activities 

such as face painting, 

magic show and trackless 

train), there is no doubt 

the 40th Shermerfest will 

hardly resemble the first 

one on Oct. 21, 1979. 

A preview of the first 

Shermerfest included this 

description: “Northbrook 

‘Indians’ in authentic garb 

will signal the opening ceremonies 

when they arrive 

at the [Northfield] Inn at 

2 p.m. The gala afternoon 

includes demonstrations of 

15 crafts of Shermerville 

pioneers. ... A recognition 

ceremony will honor 

volunteers who have contributed 

countless hours 

restoring the exterior of 

the century-old landmark 

[Northfield Inn, which had 

opened to the public on 

July 4, 1976.]” 

The story went on to list 

the crafts to be demonstrated 

at the first Shermerfest: 

calligraphy, canning, 

chair caning, crewel work, 

crocheting, embroidery, 

knitting, needlepoint, petit 

pointe, quilting, rosemaling, 

rug braiding, spinning, 

tatting and weaving. 

Several people mentioned 

in that article about 

the first Shermerfest continue 

as Northbrook Historical 

Society members; 

they include Robert Mac- 

Millin, the Historical Society 

president in 1979, 

as well as Barbara Nolan, 

who later would serve as 

president, Barbara Schulz, 

Mabel Janke, Sue Landon 

and Ginny Zdenahlik. 

A bake sale and soup 

lunch at the Northfield 

Inn were part of the earliest 

Shermerfest activities, 

and those continue today. 

Down through the years, 

entertainment was added 

and featured performers 

such as the Hummers and 

Strummers, Bobby Schiff 

Trio, Jazzmin Trio, and the 

Legacy Girls. 

Shermerfest soon moved 

from mid-October to the 

third Sunday in September. 

Some activities and attractions 

have included a Civil 

War reenactment, live auctions 

featuring Ron Bernardi, 

old-time baseball, 

pumpkin bowling, horseand-buggy 

rides, bocce, a 

corn-shelling demonstration, 

plein air painting, 

scarecrow making and an 

apple dessert-baking contest. 

The Northbrook Heritage 

Classic, a 10K run, 

was held at the 1981 

Shermerfest. Susan Labaschin 

and Ron Schinleber 

announced their engagement 

at Shermerfest in 

2006. The Fallen Soldier 

Memorial was dedicated at 

Shermerfest in 2009. Richard 

Kelly, a Village legend 

while working at the 

Northbrook Jewel from the 

1950s into the ’80s, was a 

special guest at Shermerfest 

in 2013. 

Wagner Farm (with Buttercup 

the cow), the North 

Suburban YMCA, Glenview 

Clovers 4-H, Illinois 

Raptor Center, and River 

Trail Nature Center are 

among many organizations 

that have contributed 

activities to Shermerfest. 

One of this year’s features 

will be the 18th 

“Classic Northbrook” Car 

and Truck Show. A few antique 

vehicles were present 

at various Shermerfests 

prior to 2001 before an effort 

was made to expand 

the car show. About 30 vehicles 

were there in 2001; 

the show now draws about 

100 participants and has 

had as many as 120. 

The year 2001 also 

marked one of the most 

important decisions that 

Shermerfest organizers 

have had to make. When 

the tragedy of Sept. 11, 

2001, took place, there 

was an immediate question 

about whether Shermerfest 

— scheduled five days later 

— should proceed. The 

decision was made to go 

through with the festival in 

2001, which also marked 

Northbrook’s centennial 

year. The theme for the 

2001 Shermerfest became 

“A Century of Celebration 

— A Day of Unity,” and it 

turned out to be an uplifting 

decision. 

There have been other 

Shermerfest themes, including 

“Faire on the 

Green” in the late 1990s 

and 2000. 

The grand prize in the 

Shermerfest raffle has 

evolved over the years, 

Participants of all ages use their skills and imaginations to build a scarecrow at 

Shermerfest in 2004. Photos Submitted 

with an Amish quilt at 

the top many times. For a 

number of years now, the 

top raffle prize has been 

something truly unique: 

a catered dinner for 12 at 

the Northfield Inn titled 

“Cookin’ Up Some History: 

A Shermerville Supper 

and Show.” That will be 

the grand prize again this 

year; tickets are $10 each 

or three for $25. 

The dinner is catered by 

Sunset Foods, the major 

sponsor of Shermerfest 

along with the Historical 

Society and Northbrook 

Park District. Many other 

businesses and individuals 

also contribute to 

Shermerfest. As an allvolunteer 

organization, the 

Historical Society relies on 

the success of Shermerfest 

to help keep the doors of 

the History Museum and 

the Hope Union Heritage 

Center open. 

Judy Hughes has been 

president of the Northbrook 

Historical Society 

for more than half of the 

40 Shermerfests. She has

cars on display that included John Drengenberg’s 1930 

Ford Model A Deluxe Coupe. 

been instrumental in helping 

the festival improve 

from raising nearly nothing 

to an annual goal of 

earning at least $10,000. 

“We started offering this 

event as a way to thank the 

community for supporting 

the efforts of the Historical 

Society,” she has said. ”It’s 

our major fund-raiser, but 

we also want to provide 

the people of Northbrook 

with a low-key event that 

hearkens back to the oldtime 

events in the park 

and brings together that 

spirit of community. . . . 

It’s a happy, connect-withpeople 

event. . . . It’s truly 

a neighborhood event that 

touches people’s memories.” 

All are welcome to join 

the festivities at the 40th 

Shermerfest from noon-4 

p.m. on Sept. 16 in Village 

Green Park.

An intriguing number from this week’s edition

Looking over my shoulder after an incredible ride 

Grady Bruch 

Editorial Intern 

I 

thought I knew it all 

about the North Shore. 

After living basically 

my whole life here, I assumed 

that I understood 

everything about it and 

everything in it. But only 

a couple of months here at 

22nd Century Media has 

opened my eyes to this 

truly special area. 

I thought Glenview and 

Northbrook were just like 

any other town — but 

we’re so much more than 

that. There are so many 

incredible people making 

awesome things happen 

around here. From visiting 

Hackney’s and talking with 

Chicago Bears greats, to 

learning about small business 

owners around town, 

all the way to the superb 

athletes our high school 

are sending off to college, 

everyone has a story. 

And with every new story 

came a new opportunity to 

see what was happening 

around town. 

Going in I assumed I 

would be what everyone 

thinks when they hear 

the word “intern.” My 

guess was I was going 

to grab coffee, do some 

photocopying, maybe edit 

a couple stories and then 

maybe, if I was fortunate 

enough, I’d get a story 

about someone’s cat that 

jumped out of a tree. 

Instead, I’ve been given 

story after story about 

all different people and 

things going on around 

Glenview and Northbrook. 

Not only that, but I was 

almost immediately writing 

about front cover news 

and major features in our 

town. Every new story was 

a deeper dive into what’s 

going on around town and 

the people who make these 

towns what they are. 

Of course, there has 

been some learning 

throughout these last couple 

months. I don’t think I 

can recall how many times 

my editors have had to edit 

an obvious AP style mistake 

in my stories, but if I 

had to guess, it’s a lot. But 

through these mistakes, 

I’ve grown as a writer 

and have gained experience 

that I don’t think I 

would’ve gained anywhere 

else, especially in such a 

short span of time. 

I couldn’t thank 22nd

Remember your vacation, in The Tower 

Martin Carlino 


As surprising as it 

may seem to all 

of us, the summer 

season is quickly winding 

down. 

Regardless of your 

seasonal preference, this 

time of the year offers our 

readers a unique chance 

to look back at something 

I’m sure we all love — a 

family summer vacation. 

Less than one month 

ago, I returned from a 

family vacation of my 

own to Alaska. It was a 

truly remarkable trip and 

by trip’s end, I had saved 

nearly 1,000 photos on my 

camera. But, none of those

said earlier, everyone has 

a story, and it has been 

an honor to learn just a 

few here in Glenview and

NSSRA Summer Bash delivers fun despite Mother Nature 



We are all part of one 

big family — that was the 

frequent comment made 

by participants at the ninth 

annual Northern Suburban 

Special Recreation Association 

(NSSRA) Summer 

Bash held Aug. 15 at 

Northbrook’s Techny Prairie 

Park. 

About 400 participants, 

family members, supporters 

and staffers gathered 

for an evening of dinner, 

live music and dancing. 

The family-centered 

bash serves as an end-ofsummer 

celebration. 

“We are here to eat, 

dance and show the world 

how to have fun with our 

families and friends,” said 

Craig Culp, executive director 

of the NSSRA. 

The live music by Recycle 

the Day was a big hit 

along with the cookout. 

“I like coming here and 

being with my friends,” 

Northbrook’s Jay Slotnick 

said. “This event is a bash.” 

Evanston’s Matthew La 

Chapelle, who plays basketball, 

volleyball and golf, 

with his NSSRA friends expressed 

his honest feelings. 

“I am with people who 

are special like me and 

have different disabilities,” 

LaChapelle said. “I do not 

have a brother or sister so 

they are all my family. The 

staff, too.” 

People from near and far 

came for the event. 

Rosemarie Baldwin 

and daughter Alyson who 

live in Newfoundland in 

Canada came for the bash. 

They were with Glenview 

relatives Rhonda Gray and 

daughter, Robyn. 

“This is our fifth year,” 

Rhonda Gray said. “Robyn 

and I meet friends we have 

not seen in a while. The 

music is really fun and this 

is a great atmosphere.” 

Cori Mohr and husband 

Jeffrey brought their three 

children adopted from Korea 

for the event — Seth, 

10, Evan, 9, and Ben 8. 

“The people at this event 

are our family,” Cori Mohr 

said. “There is so much joy 

and understanding here. 

We have wonderful things 

to share with each other 

and are more empathetic to 

the world.” 

A little more than an 

hour after the Bash began, 

Mother Nature decided to 

participate. A warning of 

impending Lightning sent 

participants to their cars or 

a building at the park for 

safety. 

After the weather had 

Henry Light, 5, of Northbrook, blows some bubbles 

at the NSSRA Summer Bash on Aug. 15. Scott 

Margolin/22nd Century Media 

cleared up, the fun of the 

evening returned once 

again. But, Mother Nature 

once again had other plans. 

Despite the conditions, 

a good time was had by all 

in attendance and NSSRA 

staff members even got to 

join in on the fun themselves. 

“I love doing our parties, 

being part of our participants’ 

experiences and 

overseeing this event,” 

Abby Whalen said. “I always 

knew I wanted to 

work in the special recreation 

world and do this 

with my life. It brings me 

so much joy and satisfaction.” 

Katie James also is a 

recreational specialist and 

works with NSSRA’s Gator 

athletics. 

“We took 10 of our 

special sports athletes to 

Bloomington for the Special 

Olympics Summer 

Games,” James said. “It 

was a wonderfully memorable 

experience.” 

With that comment in 

mind, Culp put out a special 

plea especially to high 

school students age 16 and 

over and college students. 

“We need more program 

and inclusion staff,” Culp 

said. “We are particularly 

looking for those who 

might be considering a job 

in human services. Come 

recreate and play with us. 

Jobs include working after 

school, on the weekends 

and sometimes going on 

overnight trips.” 

Culp then thanked the 

Northbrook Park District 

for the use of Techny Prairie 

Park as well as the other 

members of the 13 communities 

from which NSSRA 

draws its participants. That 

includes 10 park districts, 

two cities and one village. 

NSSRA’s Summer Bash 

is sponsored by NSSRA 

Foundation with the support 

of local businesses, 

families and community 

supporters, including Call 

One (tent sponsor), D&R 

Autoworks of Highland 

Park (dinner sponsor), By 

Your Side-Autism Therapy 

Services, the Slotnick family 

and Trane. 

Founded in 1970, NS- 

SRA serves approximately 

1,600 area children, teens 

and adults with physical, 

developmental, emotional 

or other disabilities. The 

programs and services offered 

by NSSRA and its 

partner agencies enhance 

lives, foster friendships, 

build skills and create the 

kinds of experiences that 

make fuller, richer lives.

Casual, family-friendly vibe key to success at Landmark Inn 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

Family is at the heart 

of everything they do at 

Northbrook’s Landmark 

Inn. 

For more than 10 years, 

brother and sister duo, 

Helene Kapetaneas and 

Constantine Kyriazopoulos, 

have worked to keep 

the Landmark Inn’s history 

alive and offer a casual 

place for families to eat. 

Kapetaneas took over 

the well-known restaurant 

in 2001 and was joined by 

her brother a few years 

later. 

Since the beginning, 

Landmark Inn welcomed 

loyal customers, and Kapetaneas 

said the key to 

its success is its focus on 

family. 

“Our food is good, we 

have a good beer selection, 

but the fact that we 

are family and we make 

it family-oriented is what 

drives our success,” Kapetaneas 

said. 

Owning a business with 

her brother has worked 

well for the team. 

“I am the responsible 

one and [Kyriazopoulos] 

is the fun 

one,” Kapetaneas said. 

She jokingly added that 

she calls her brother the 

CEO — chief entertainment 

officer. 

While family is important 

at Landmark Inn, so 

is its history. 

The building was built 

in 1885 and is the oldest 

commercial structure in 

Northbrook. The building 

has evolved from its 

origins as Otto Funke’s 

Saloon, to more than 50 

years as Cypress Inn and 

now continues its success 

as Landmark Inn. 

When Kapetaneas took 

over Landmark Inn and 

began crafting a new 

menu, she was looking to 

“make it comfortable and 

offer a little bit for everyone.” 

She revamped most of 

the menu and made it her 

own, but kept a select few 

fan favorites from the previous 

owners. 

Longtime customers 

can expect to see the 

original Buffalo wings 

appetizer ($10.95), which 

is made with Landmark 

Inn’s secret recipe, with a 

choice of mild, medium, 

hot, or BBQ sauce served 

with celery & blue cheese 

dressing. Kapetaneas said 

she made a slight change 

to the mandarin chicken 

salad ($12), but the heart 

of it is still the same. The 

salad includes chicken 

breast served on a bed of 

on a mixed greens with 

mandarin orange and walnuts 

in a sesame dressing. 

Guests can also expect to 

see the original Landmark 

chop salad ($12), filled 

with mixed greens, topped 

with chicken breast, tomatoes, 

green onions, 

cucumbers, bacon, blue 

cheese and tortilla strips, 

tossed in a red wine vinaigrette. 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors stopped 

by Landmark Inn to try 

out some of the items Kapetaneas 

added when she 

took over. 

Kapetaneas incorporated 

a bit of her Greek heritage 

into the menu, so we 

tried the Greek egg rolls 

($9.25), which is traditional 

spanakopita served 

with a twist — tzatziki 

sauce. The egg rolls are 

large and are a great appetizer 

to share with the 

table. 

Another appetizer 

at Landmark Inn is 

the cheeseburger fries 

($11.50), which is a plate 

overflowing with fries 

topped with ground beef,

cheddar, tomato, lettuce, 

pickle, onion, bacon, egg 

and a special sauce. This 

appetizer may not be the 

healthiest, but each bite 

bursts with flavor and the 

special sauce makes the 

dish by adding a bit of 

zing. 

We couldn’t get enough 

of the appetizers and also 

tried the Cajun grilled 

calamari ($13), which is 

calamari tossed in Cajun 

spice and then grilled and 

served with a chipotle 

cream sauce. 

When Kapetaneas was 

crafting a new menu, her 

dad, who also owns restaurants, 

suggested adding 

a Monte Cristo burger 

($12) to the menu. The 

burger is made with a halfpound 

beef patty topped 

with ham, swiss cheese, 

and Landmark Inn’s gourmet 

bun, dipped in an egg 

batter (like French toast), 

topped with its signature 

apple aioli sauce. This 

burger has a bit of a sweet 

and savory taste to it and 

is a great choice if you 

can’t decide if you want 

breakfast or lunch. 

Finally, we tried the 

Santé Fe chop salad ($12), 

made with romaine lettuce 

tossed with Cajun 

chicken, tomatoes, black 

beans, corn avocado, tortilla 

strips and queso fresco 

with ranch dressing. 

The menu at Landmark 

Inn is large and offers a 

little bit of something for 

every type of eater. 

Landmark Inn’s cheeseburger fries ($11.50) consist of fries topped with ground 

beef, cheddar, tomato, lettuce, pickle, onion, bacon, a fried egg and a special sauce.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Ben Kieffer 

Kieffer is a senior captain on the Glenbrook 

North football team 

When and why did you start 

playing football? 

I started in sixth grade because I played 

soccer and I didn’t like that as much and 

I kind of liked the physical aspect of the 

sport. From there, it kind of just took off. 

What do you like most about 

football? 

I just like how you can hit somebody. 

When you’re playing basketball or soccer 

or other sports you’re running around a 

lot, but you never really get to hit someone 

and get contact like that, so that’s the 

most fun part for me.

Congratulations to this week’s 

Athlete of the Week. 

We’re pleased to be a 

sponsor of this program. 

 

 

 

 

Do you have any superstitions 

before a game? 

Nothing special — I kind of just listen 

to the same music. I have songs that I listen 

to every single time before games. A 

game playlist. 

As a high school athlete, what’s 

your favorite sports moment been? 

Probably winning the Vernon Hills 

game last year. We went in there 4-4, the 

season was going poorly and then everyone 

kind of just turned it around and the 

seniors really lit it up on the field and left 

their hearts out there. 

Who’s your favorite professional 

athlete and why? 

I like Adam Thielen of the Minnesota 

Vikings because he’s kind of an underdog 

story. 

If you were a superhero, what 

would be your super power? 

Teleportation. It’s the easiest way to get 

from place to place. If you fly, you’re not 

going to get there as fast, so teleportation 

is the quickest thing. 

Martin Carlino/22nd century media 

What would you do if you won the 

lottery? 

I would hide the evidence and move in 

the mountains. 

If you could play any other sport, 

what would you play? 

Basketball. It’s a fun thing to do outside 

and it’s easy to play pickups games and I 

kind of like the sport. 

What’s your favorite restaurant in 

the area? 

The Landmark Inn for sure. It’s good 

scenery, they’ve got good wings and it’s 

classic Northbrook. 

If you could be any animal, which 

would you choose? 

A tiger. They’re pretty fast and they’re 

the top of the food chain.

Games of the Week 

The best area matchups for all nine weeks of the 2018 season 

WEEK 1: FRIDAY, AUG. 24, 7:15 

Lake Forest at Antioch 

The Sequoits are coming off 

of a season where they went undefeated 

in the regular season, 

before dropping their first round 

game of the playoffs. Antioch 

loses much of its offensive firepower, 

as running backs Branden 

Gallimore and Hunter Price have 

graduated. The two combined 

for nearly 200 yards per game. 

While they lose a lot of offense, 

the Sequoits return their top defenders 

in Nico Fier and Kevin 

Tamayo, both of whom had over 

50 tackles last season. 

WEEK 2: FRIDAY, AUG. 31, 7:30 

New Trier hosts Loyola 

The rivalry is back! The two 

neighborhood rivals will face 

off for the first time in the regular 

season since 2005, a 24-21 

New Trier win. The two teams 

battled in the first round of 

the state playoffs last season, 

a game that saw the Trevians 

make a furious comeback, only 

to have the Ramblers hold on. 

Both teams bring back a considerable 

amount of starters and 

this game will give everyone 

a glimpse of what these teams 

will look like this season. A 

great early season test for the 

Ramblers and Trevians. 

WEEK 3: SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1:30 

Loyola hosts Mount Carmel 

The tough opening stretch of 

the regular season continues for 

the Ramblers, who host their 

first of only three home games. 

Mount Carmel dropped down to 

the Catholic League Green division 

this season and welcomes 

in a new coach, alum and former 

Northern Illinois star Jordan 

Lynch. The Ramblers have 

dominated the series of late but 

know that the Caravan is not a 

team to look past. 

WEEK 4: FRIDAY, SEPT. 14, 7:30 

Lake Forest at Lake Zurich 

The Scouts finished 6-5 last 

season and made it to the second 

round of the playoffs, but 

their tough opening stretch continues 

with a matchup against 

last year’s Class 7A runner-up. 

The Bears have finished second 

in the state three times during 

this decade and are one of the 

more consistent teams in the 

area. The Bears lost some key 

components from last year’s 

team but still bring back a stingy 

defense, led by Austin LePage, 

who had a school-record 10 

interceptions, and Luke Dwyer, 

a North Dakota State commit. 

WEEK 5: FRIDAY, SEPT. 21, 7 

Glenbrook North at Maine West 

The Spartans finished 5-4 last 

season and just missed out on 

making the state playoffs due to 

playoff points. The Warriors on 

the other hand, had a resurgence 

last season and qualified for the 

playoffs for the first time since 

2002. This game is the conference 

opener for both teams and 

the result may end up deciding 

the conference winner if the ball 

bounces the right way for both 

teams.

Loyola hosts Montini 

The game against the Broncos, 

only the second home 

game of the year for the Ramblers, 

marks the end of a stretch

Varsity Podcast celebrates 

anniversary by going back to roots 

Staff report 

The Varsity Podcast 

celebrated its one-year anniversary 

by going back 

to its roots: talking about 

football. 

The 22nd Century Media 

sports podcast went back to 

its original format after a 

summer of special episodes 

to preview the football season 

for each North Shore 

area school: Glenbrook 

North, Glenbrook South, 

Highland Park, Lake Forest, 

Loyola Academy and 

New Trier. In the episode, 

the guys followed a fourquarter 

format of talking 

about the teams in the first, 

hearing from a coach in 

the second (no spoilers), 

played a game of Way or 

No Way and finished it up 

by predicting week one results 

for each team. After a 

year of celebrating many 

different moments, host 

Michal Dwojak was excited 

to get back to talking 

football. 

“We’ve had a lot of fun 

storylines this year that 

didn’t only focus on what 

happened on the field or 

court,” Dwojak said. “But 

it’s nice to get back to talking 

football, even though 

we’ll definitely still talk 

about what’s happening in 

each of the other sports in 

the area.”

playoff-qualifying teams. The 

2018 season is Montini’s first 

in the Catholic League Blue, as 

it replaces Mount Carmel, who 

dropped down to the Catholic 

League Green. Montini has 

been one of the more successful 

teams in the state, qualifying 

for the playoffs every year since 

1993, including six state titles 

and two runner-up finishes.

Glenbrook South hosts Maine 

South 

The Hawks blew out the Titans 

last year, but that was on 

the road in Park Ridge. This year 

GBS welcomes Maine South to 

Glenview, looking to get some 

revenge from last year’s 47-13 

loss. The Titans start off conference 

play with two easy games 

against Niles North and Niles 

West, two teams GBS beat by a 

combined 78-7 margin last year, 

so this will be the first true conference 

test for the hosts. The 

game also starts a three-game 

stretch against 2017 playoff 

teams.

will be on the Giants’ minds as

Chemistry key component for Scouts’ success 

David Jaffe 


Having good team 

chemistry has made Lake 

Forest a consistent playoff 

team the last several years. 

That key quality is also 

what Scouts coach Chuck 

Spagnoli feels will be 

the difference in whether 

they’re once again successful. 

“The biggest thing is 

to try to create chemistry 

among the team, that promotes 

positive play,” he 

said. “It’s easy to say and 

harder to accomplish.” 

The Scouts hope to continue 

an eight-season run 

in the IHSA state playoffs 

this season. Last year, a 

6-5 Scouts squad reached 

the second round of the 

Class 6A playoffs before 

falling to Hoffman Estates 

High School. Lake Forest 

returns a number of 

experienced players from 

that team but will also see 

new faces including one at 

quarterback. The Scouts 

lost several key players to 

graduation, and will expect 

the new senior class, 

and even some underclassmen, 

to fill holes. 

“For the inexperienced 

guys unless you’ve played 

through significant situations 

it’s hard to be prepared 

for [the season] 

without living it,” Spagnoli 

said. “Team chemistry 

is the biggest reason for 

the success we’ve had. We 

have a Rylie Mills but 95 

percent of our kids aren’t 

DI players. 

“So it’s going to take 

everyone playing well as 

a unit. There’s a method to 

this thing.” 

Offense 

The Scouts have veteran 

depth at certain offensive 

positions and some new 

faces at others. 

Coming into the 2018 

season, the offense will 

have balance and the ability 

to tweak things based 

on its personnel. 

“We will be multiple 

with our formations and be 

able to utilize our running 

game and passing game 

pretty evenly,” Spagnoli 

said. “We also can adapt 

our system to whomever is 

in at quarterback or to our 

specific running backs and 

receivers. It’s just about 

defining certain roles right 

now.” 

Since Jack Mislinski 

graduated, it’s an open 

competition at quarterback 

among seniors Ryan 

Cekay, a Colgate University 

commit at wide 

receiver, Tommy Hanson 

and James Swartout. Each 

have different strengths 

they’re bring to the field. 

“They all prepare very 

well mentally,” Spagnoli 

said. “Ryan’s taller 

and more athletic. James 

throws the ball better. And 

Tommy has the best grasp 

on our system. If you combined 

those things, it’d be 

the perfect situation. But 

each kid gives something 

positive to the offense.” 

Jacob Thomas, who became 

the starting running 

back midway through last 

season, returns at the position 

this year. He helped 

the Scouts win their final 

three games to make playoffs 

last season, including 

running for 153 yards 

to beat Zion-Benton in a 

must-win game. 

“A year ago today, Jacob 

struggled with the mental 

aspect of the game,” Spagnoli 

said. “That’s where 

the biggest change has 

come. He’s a little bigger 

and stronger now but mentally 

he’s much more comfortable 

and confident.” 

The Scouts have the 

Lake Forest High School senior Ryan Cekay, a Colgate University commit, is 

expected to return at wide receiver this season and be in the rotation at quarterback. 

22nd Century Media File Photo 

most depth at receiver and 

on the line. If Cekay isn’t 

quarterback, he’ll be one 

of the Scouts’ top targets 

like the last two years. 

Luke Nolan and Clay Burton 

have plenty of playing 

time as has tight end 

Crawford Bolton. Ultimatley, 

that plays out as an advantage 

to the Scouts new 

quarterback. 

“Late in the game, you 

start to get more tired 

mentally,” Swartout said. 

“Having guys like Ryan 

and Luke is a benefit because 

they know what it’s 

like being in close games 

in the fourth quarter. They 

can help the younger guys 

stay mentally focused and 

that as a quarterback helps 

a lot.” 

Chase Bahr, who committed 

to play for the University 

of Pennsylvania 

next year, leads a deep offensive 

line that will play 

seven or eight consistently. 

“Guys on our O-line like 

Matt Frank, Billy Gardner, 

Charlie Aberle and Brenden 

Chandler have been 

working their butts off 

and deserve a lot of credit,” 

Swartout said. “Their 

work has really paid off 

and I think it’s given us a 

very strong O-line.” 

Defense 

The Scouts graduated 

some great defensive players 

including linebackers 

John Deering and Bryan 

Ooms and defensive back 

Chris Cavalaris. Still, Spagnoli 

has experienced 

guys left on the line, in 

the secondary and at linebacker. 

“We have at least one 

or two players at each 

level that have been great 

for us,” Spagnoli said. 

“There’s leadership at all 

three levels of our defense. 

“We don’t have five linemen 

that are at Mills’ level, 

but guys like Ben Marwede 

and Billy Avery have been 

a huge part of what our defensive 

line does. We have 

three senior linebackers 

and have the most experience 

in our secondary.” 

Will Wisniewski started 

every game at linebacker 

last year and Luca Passinato 

and Ethan Hunt complete 

the linebacker corps. 

Ed Scheidler and Will Freeman 

lead the secondary. 

Junior defensive end 

Mills is the big name, 

though, at 6-5, 265 pounds. 

He has already received 

offers from 22 schools including 

big names like the 

University of Notre Dame, 

the University of Georgia, 

Clemson University, Penn 

State University, Oklahoma 

State University, the 

University of Alabama, 

Ohio State University and 

the University of Wisconsin–Madison. 

“As good of a player 

as Rylie is, he’s a better 

person and even harder 

worker,” Spagnoli said. 

“He works as hard as anyone 

we’ve had. That’s why 

he’s successful and will 

continue to be beyond high 

school.”

Experienced New Trier looks for deep playoff run 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Contributing Sports Editor 

New Trier players and coaches 

know there are a couple games 

everyone has circled on the 

schedule: Loyola and Maine 

South. The Trevians aren’t looking 

past their first game against 

York, however. 

Why’s that? 

Because of a saying running 

backs coach and strength and 

conditioning coordinator Jim 

Davis said to the team: Start fast. 

Stay focused. Finish strong. 

Last year’s squad made the 

playoffs for the 15th consecutive 

season and partook in one of 

the playoffs’ best games, a 35-32 

Loyola win over the neighboring 

Trevians. With just over 10 minutes 

left in the game, the Ramblers 

led 35-10 before New Trier 

scored 22 unanswered points, 

seeing its chance at an upset 

end when Loyola recovered an 

onside kick with 70 seconds remaining. 

A good amount of experience 

comes back from that squad and 

it’s looking to advance deeper 

into the playoffs this season. 

“Our kids have set a goal to 

play big in big games, games 

against Maine South and Loyola, 

and we’re not going to hide from 

that,” head coach Brian Doll 

said. “We feel like we can win 

those games, be competitive in 

those games, so we can win a 

conference championship and 

not just be in the playoffs and 

win a first round game, we feel 

that with the size we halve, the 

depth we have, the talent we 

have, this is a year we hope to do 

something special.” 

Offense 

The Trevians are blessed this 

season to return their starting 

quarterback, running back, left 

side of their offensive line and a 

wide receiver. Having that type 

of experience returning, especially 

at key positions, is something 

many teams don’t have. 

“There’s a lot of confidence in 

the returners understanding our 

New Trier quarterback Carson Ochsenhirt shakes off a Loyola tackler during the teams’ first-round 

playoff game Oct. 28 in Wilmette. 22nd Century Media File photo 

system, knowing what they’re 

doing,” Doll said. “Carson 

(Ochsenhirt)’s maturity in the 

offseason is well noticed by our 

staff. The way he notices things, 

the way he leads, people respond 

to him.” 

Carson Ochsenhirt took over 

the starting quarterback position 

a couple games into the season 

last year and didn’t let go of 

the position. He helped lead the 

team to an average of 31 points 

per game over the last six games 

of the year, only scoring less than 

28 points once along the way. 

“I have a lot more experience 

now, a lot more experience in 

dropping back and throwing the 

ball and in my reads,” Ochsenhirt 

said. “Last year I wasn’t as 

prepared for that, but now I understand 

my reads and feel more 

comfortable to make my throws.” 

Even though the left side of 

the offensive line returns, Doll 

feels that the right side may not 

only have more size, but will also 

surprise some people along the 

way. Players on the right side of 

the line include David Davidkoff 

and Rob Wright, who is a hockey 

player who never played football 

before. Some newcomers Doll 

looks to make some big moves 

are Michael Andre, a slot receiver 

who played on JV last season, 

and Potter Burns, a taller receiver 

who will play backside receiver. 

Defense 

Like the offense, the defense 

returns a good amount of starters 

– five – from a defense that 

allowed more than 17 points in 

only three of the team’s 10 games 

last season. Many of those players, 

such as Duke Olges, Sitzer, 

Ochsenhirt, all play both ways 

on offense and defense, something 

Doll said he has no qualms 

in doing. 

“I believe that we get our best 

11 guys on defense to start,” Doll 

said. “I really focus on getting 

our personnel correct on defense 

because I feel that if people can’t 

score, we’ll find a way to score 

and win games if we can really 

slow teams down. 

“I focus on getting the best 11 

athletes on the field on defense, 

focus on the speed, strength, size 

combination as possible. When 

we go over to offense, we try 

to sub our kids based on getting 

them a break but if you’re the 

best at both positions, we try to 

condition you.” 

Many of the players’ versatility 

will allow the Trevians to give 

teams different looks, whether it 

be moving a player up into more 

of a linebacker role from the defensive 

backfield, or having one 

of the outside linebackers become 

more of a pass rusher. 

New Trier does return both its 

starting cornerbacks, Donovan 

Perkins and Carson Kosanovich. 

The two combined for 54 tackles 

last season, with Kosanovich also 

having a team-leading nine pass 

deflections and Perkins leading 

the team with two forced fumbles. 

Special teams 

Special teams is arguably the 

most important position group 

on a football team. If a team

Luckily for the Trevians, they 

return one of the best kickers in 

the area, Graham Dable. The senior 

took over in game two last 

season, after Sam Rutherford decided 

to focus on soccer, and got 

better as the season went along. 

He made some good impressions 

during the summer attending 

multiple kicking camps that featured 

the nation’s top kickers. 

“His development in the offseason 

has been unbelievable,” 

the coach said. “Now he’s a nationally-ranked 

kicker, he’ll be a 

Division I kid, I’m already hearing 

from a lot of colleges about 

him. He’s a weapon for us and 

the way we’re going to be able to 

use him is outstanding.”

Giants move step by step into 2018 season 

Brittany Kapa 


David Lindquist expects 

his Giants to get better every 

day. 

That’s the mantra Highland 

Park High School’s 

first-year head coach repeats 

to his team on and 

off the field. 

“If you come to work 

every day and really focus 

and prepare to listen 

and give it your all — focus, 

attitude and effort — 

you’re going to get better 

even if it’s by a little bit,” 

he said. “We’re not measuring 

day-to-day. We’re 

measuring game-to-game, 

week-to-week and monthto-month; 

all the way 

through to the end of the 

year.” 

The Giants saw both 

success and loss in the 

2017 season. They finished 

5-5 and overcame a 

three-game losing streak 

early in the season to tie 

for the conference championship. 

After making it 

to playoffs, the Giants lost 

their first game against St. 

Charles North in the IHSA 

Class 7A playoffs. 

Lindquist spent the summer 

preparing his team the 

best way he knew how for 

the upcoming nine-week 

regular season. Hard work 

mixed with positivity was 

the name of the game for 

HPHS, and those traits 

will be keys for the Giants 

to navigate and attack the 

ups and downs of the 2018 

season. 

Lindquist, who was an 

assistant coach for years 

prior to his promotion, 

intentionally incorporated 

chaos into practices this 

summer but for a good 

cause. 

“We try and put them 

through moments of chaos 

where they feel like physically, 

and mentally, everything 

might be shutting 

down or going wrong and 

they have to learn how to 

fix it,” he said. “Adversity 

will strike at any time ... 

you could have a total failure 

or a total success and 

we have to learn how to 

handle that and move on to 

the next play.” 

The goal is to create a 

team that can overcome 

the bad plays and celebrate 

and move on to the next 

task after the good ones. 

“We want them to come 

together and pick each other 

up,” he said.

Offense 

The offense will showcase 

a team within a team 

and a new go-to starting 

quarterback. 

Former quarterback 

John Sakos, a Tulane University 

walk-on freshman, 

was the Giants main arm 

last season. HPHS senior 

Michael Rooney did see 

some playing time in 2017, 

but that will dramatically 

increase this season. 

“In any situation, with a 

new player at quarterback 

who has to lead, there is 

going to be a growing process,” 

Lindquist said. 

However, the Giants 

coaching staff is making 

sure that Rooney and the 

offense are preparing for 

every situation. The main 

focus with Rooney will 

be his reads, and those 

will be based heavily on 

that week’s opponent. 

Lindquist has confidence 

in his starting quarterback 

and knows Rooney’s confidence 

will increase as the 

season progresses. 

A key component of 

Lindquist’s offensive will 

be the line, acting as a cohesive 

unit. 

“[The offensive] line is 

more of a brotherhood, it’s 

a team within the team,” 

he said. “For that group 

they need to work together 

in all facets. There is no 

single person that’s more 

important than anybody 

else.” 

Defense 

Defensively, Lindquist 

is happy with where his 

team is at. 

His core has seasoned 

veterans that can effectively 

focus on the little things, 

which makes Lindquist 

happy. That core includes 

a few utility players and 

an NCAA Division-I commit. 

The combination of 

players should yield good 

results in containing opposing 

team’s offense. 

Defensive ends Jacob 

Bradford and Noa Morganstern 

are two athletic 

players that Lindquist

sees making a big impact 

against tough teams. 

“[Bradford is] a guy that 

is a utility guy, we can put 

him on the inside or the

size,” Lindquist said. 

Coached right, Lindquist 

sees Morganstern fitting in 

seamlessly on the defense.

well, I expect good things 

from him.” 

Defensive tackles Kevin 

Kaufman and Matt Cortes 

are two important keys to 

the Giants defense as well. 

“[Cortes is] another big 

body we can put in the 

middle and try to take up 

more than one blocker,” 

Lindquist said. 

Senior linebacker, and 

South Dakota State University 

commit, Tom 

Motzko will be another 

key player for HPHS. 

“He’s a very good player 

at that position and I anticipate 

some very good 

things from him,” the head 

coach said. 

Lindquist will favor a 

six-man rotation, mainly 

so his players can get 

enough rest during the 

game. The goal is to have 

his core fly to the ball. 

“If the ball is down 

we’re getting it and we’re 

taking every opportunity 

from [our opponent] to 

get any positive yardage. 

A lot of that has to do with 

flying to the football,” he 

said. 

Special Teams 

Lindquist wants his 

team to be well-rounded, 

that includes experience 

and time on special teams. 

“It’s just as important 

as [offense and defense] 

and a lot of times in close 

games it comes down to 

what happened on special 

teams,” he said. 

The Giants do have 

two kickers who will be 

vying for playing time 

this season. The team returns 

Mauer, as well as 

Maya Taiez, the lone female 

kicker in the CSL 

North. 

“They’re both are very 

good at kicking the football, 

we’re not sure who 

will do what yet,” he said



Loyola reloads after second-place finish 

Neil Milbert 


While a massive building 

project is going on 

adjacent to Loyola Academy’s 

football field, coach 

John Holecek is trying to 

construct another powerhouse 

on the gridiron. 

“As usual, we don’t 

have a lot of returnees 

(who were starters) but the 

seniors have stepped up,” 

said Holecek, who is starting 

his 13th season with 

the Ramblers and holds 

the school record with 135 

victories. “A lot of guys 

have matured; they look 

the part. We have some 

weapons. 

“We’re excited about the 

first game. With our schedule, 

the first month of the 

season we’ll know right 

away how good we are.” 

If it turns out to be a typical 

season, the Ramblers 

will be very, very good. 

They advanced to the 8A 

state championship game 

before losing last season 

just as they did in 2016, 

2013 and 2011. In 2015, 

they won the state championship 

after being ousted 

in the playoffs the year before 

(when they regrouped 

with a victory against the 

Public League champion 

in the Prep Bowl that 

launched a 30-game winning 

streak). 

The first game of the 

season will be played in 

Michigan against Rockford, 

a traditionally strong 

team from north of Grand 

Rapids. Then Loyola will 

return to the North Shore 

to meet New Trier in the 

Trevians’ newly remodeled 

stadium. That will 

be followed by the home 

opener against Chicago 

Catholic League rival 

Mount Carmel, which is 

one of only three home 

games on the schedule. 

The encounter at New 

Trier should be interesting. 

Last season, in the 

first round of the playoffs, 

when the teams clashed for 

the first time since 2006, 

the 27th-seeded Trevians 

scored 22 unanswered 

points in the final 10 minutes, 

12 seconds, throwing 

a scare into the sixth-seeded 

Ramblers, who held on 

to win 35-32. 

Offense 

The second half of that 

game marked the varsity 

debut of Loyola’s Trevor 

Cabanban and the little 

running back made a great 

first impression, going on 

a 39-yard touchdown run 

and finishing the afternoon 

with 84 yards in 10 carries. 

He continued to excel in 

the next two playoff games 

but his season came to an 

end when he was injured 

in the quarterfinal game at 

Marist. 

Now, Cabanban is back 

for his junior season and 

his 308 net yards in 47 

carries for a team best 6.6- 

yard rushing average, suggesting 

he will be one of 

the Ramblers’ most exciting 

offensive players. 

Senior running back Michael 

Gavric and junior 

Tyler Flores both got a significant 

amount of playing 

time last year and figure to 

make an impact. 

“Michael adds a different 

element with his power,” 

Holecek said. “He’s a 

slasher with speed.” 

Although last season’s 

quarterback, Quinn Boyle, 

led Loyola in both passing 

and rushing — amassing 

3,020 yards and accounting 

for 29 touchdowns — Holecek 

doesn’t believe replacing 

him will be a problem. 

Jack Fallon inherits 

the starting job after throwing 

five touchdown passes

Nov. 25 in DeKalb. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

as Boyle’s backup and his 

understudy, fellow senior 

Matt Schiltz, also has some 

varsity experience. 

“Jack and Matt are talented 

and have done a 

good job this summer,” he 

said. 

Fallon spent the summer 

trying to get faster and 

stronger so he too can be 

effective as a runner. 

“With me being able to 

run the ball it opens up the 

offense,” he said. “Quinn 

was one of the greatest 

and filling his shoes will 

be hard but I’ve got some 

great receivers.” 

Foremost among the 

receivers is senior Rory 

Boos, Fallon’s grammar 

school teammate at Our 

Lady of Perpetual Help. 

Last season, he was the 

team leader in receiving 

yardage (825 yards on 45 

catches) and touchdowns 

(11). 

“I’m working on being 

more of a leader and 

improving my blocking 

downfield and route running,” 

Boos said. 

Another senior, Noah 

Jones, had his 2017 playing 

time curtailed because 

of injuries but he too is a 

dynamic pass catcher. 

Holecek thinks two other 

seniors, wide receiver 

Artie Collins and slot receiver 

Jared Lombardi, 

also have what it takes to 

make things happen when 

the Ramblers throw the 

football. 

“Jared has had a terrific 

summer,” Holecek said. 

“He’s very talented.” 

The inexperienced offensive 

line suffered a setback 

when 6-foot-2-inch, 

250-pound junior tackle 

Christo Kelly was sidelined 

because of an offseason 

injury, a torn anterior 

cruciate ligament (ACL). 

However, 6-2, 

255-pound senior guard 

Joe Naselli is back after 

missing almost all of last 

season because of a torn 

ACL in his left knee that 

was sustained in the second 

game. 

Holecek is a proponent 

of two-platoon football 

but this season he plans 

to have Naselli and senior 

end Conor Hough go both 

ways. 

Defense 

In the forefront on defense 

is senior free safety 

Jake Gonzaez, the leading 

tackler last season. 

According to Gonzalez, 

“the underclassmen (on 

defense) are coming along 

and those of us who are 

older guys are using losing 

the state championship 

game (to Lincolnway East) 

as motivation.” 

Holecek was a linebacker 

in college and in 

the NFL, so it’s not surprising 

that his Ramblers 

are known for having outstanding 

players at that 

position. This season he 

has a solid corps of senior 

returnees: Patrick Daniels, 

Armoni Dixon, Sam 

Scheirloh and Mike Kadus. 

Last year Daniels moved 

into the starting lineup after 

Peter Kennedy suffered 

a season-ending injury in 

the opener. 

“It gave me a lot of reps 

and familiarity with the

Titans ready to make next jump in CSL 

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor 

Glenbrook South head 

coach Dave Schoenwetter 

wanted his team to escape 

the cellar at last year’s 

training camp. 

Now, he wants his Titans 

to take their next step. 

The Titans improved 

last season with a 5-5 record 

and lost in the first 

week of the postseason 

against Barrington High 

School after winning one 

game the previous season. 

Schoenwetter saw the 

progress the now thirdyear 

coach wanted from 

his team with that playoff 

appearance against 

the IHSA Class 8A No. 

2 seed. Now, he is ready 

to watch his squad take 

the next step in a difficult 

Central Suburban League 

South division. 

“I think it creates an 

expectation of where 

the program should be,” 

Schoenwetter said. “A 

goal to be back in the 

playoffs seems realistic 

and attainable. I think our 

kids have had that mindset 

that we’re working to 

be in the playoffs, and it’s 

good to hear that in their 

vocabulary.” 

Part of the change in 

culture at GBS has been 

the work put in during 

the offseason. Like most 

teams, the Titans have 

dedicated time in the 

weight room to prepare 

for a long season, but 

they have also committed 

to watching film and 

practicing harder during 

training camp. Once the 

season ended in the playoffs 

last year, the seniors 

got together to get the underclassman 

involved in 

building the team camaraderie 

needed to be successful 

this year. 

That talk set the expectation 

for what the Titans 

need to do next. 

“We just want to improve 

every year and as 

we look back, we don’t 

want to have any regrets,” 

senior tight end and defensive 

end Ryan O’Hara 

said. “I feel like the people 

who played before 

us, we owe something to 

them and we have to keep 

the legacy going.”

practice on Aug. 14 in Glenview. Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media 

Offense 

There’s one word that’s 

synonymous with GBS 

football to most people: 

run. 

It’s not a surprise to 

many that the Titans will 

have a strong rushing attack 

this season. Senior 

fullback Jack Jerfita returns 

after he was thrown 

into the fire last season. He 

finished with 586 rushing 

yards and six touchdowns 

in what became a threeheaded 

running machine. 

But the person’s job he 

took last season will join 

him to help lead a strong 

running game. 

Senior Harry Panagakis 

missed last season 

after a leg injury during 

the summer, which forced 

Schoenwetter to put Jerfita 

in his spot. The two seniors 

will lead the way for 

a talented position group 

that once again can cause 

issues for defenses with 

its depth. 

“We’re looking strong,” 

Jerfita said. “We’ve got a 

lot of great guys. We’re all 

shifty and physical.” 

But Schoenwetter 

knows that he can’t let 

his offense only run. He 

wants the running game to 

be used to set up the passing 

game, forcing defenses 

to value both facets of 

the Titans’ offense instead 

of pushing on one over the 

other. Senior Evan Whetstone 

will start the season 

as GBS’ starting quarterback 

and hopefully help 

the offense move down 

the field more than just 

handing the ball off to the 

running back. 

“Truthfully, our mindset 

is we want to run 

the football so we can 

throw touchdown passes,” 

Schoenwetter said. 

“I would rather not have 

a 15-play running drive 

down the field. I’d love 

to go three or four and get 

the touchdown pass.” 

To make it all happen, 

though, the Titans will 

need a strong offensive 

line to create paths for the 

running backs and protection 

for Whetstone. The 

line features new starters, 

but senior center John 

Travlos knows the key to 

a successful line is a good 

bond. 

“We’re just trying to 

gain that chemistry,” 

Travlos said. “We’re always 

communicating, 

encouraging each other, 

trying to help each other 

out and also trying to stay 

tough. We know we’re 

new with guys at new positions, 

but we know that 

if we keep encouraging 

each other, keep on working 

hard, keep on communicating, 

we’re going to 

be a good line.” 

Defense 

The Titans’ defensive 

players are looking to find 

consistency when facing 

adversity, something they 

failed at last season during 

crucial moments. 

While GBS gave up less 

big plays, there were some 

moments toward the end 

of the season where the 

defensive players failed 

to make plays to keep the 

Titans in the game. That’s 

been one of the focuses 

this training camp as the 

defensive players want to 

limit the time they’re on 

the field so they can help 

the offense create enough 

time to score. 

“Obviously with our 

offense, we want to give 

them as much time as 

they can with the ball,” 

said Panagakis, who will 

also play as an outside 

linebacker. “It puts pressure 

on us to make plays 

and give the ball back to 

our offense so they can 

score.” 

One of the differences 

on defense will be the 

amount of players who 

will play on both sides of 

the ball. Both Panagakis 

and O’Hara will play both 

ways and try to help the 

defense set the tone more 

than it did last season 

against the state’s elite 

teams. 

One of the keys is 

never taking a play off, 

which many players have 

worked on during training 

camp. They know 

the Titans can’t let up on 

any play because that can 

prove to be the one that 

decides a game.

there and be the toughest 

team out there.” 

Special Teams 

GBS made a splash in 

special teams with strong 

kickoff returns from the 

running backs it had last 

season. 

Not much will change 

with the backs this season 

or the revolving door of 

talented returners the Titans 

will boast for another 

season. 

While there wasn’t a set 

scheme put in yet for special 

teams during training 

camp, Schoenwetter 

knows how his group will 

look. 

“I think we’ll have 

a group that we rotate 

through there,” Schoenwetter 

said. “We’ve got a 

deep group.”



Spartans set sights on conference title, return to playoffs 

Martin Carlino, Editor 

Following a 2017 season 

that ended with a disappointing 

5-4 record, the 

Spartans are heading into 

this season with a focus on 

returning to a familiar spot 

for the program — the top 

of the Central Suburban 

North standings. 

Injuries to key players 

on both sides of the 

ball and a roster lacking 

experience factored into 

the atypical finish for the 

Spartans, but head coach 

Bob Pieper knows last 

season’s difficulties built 

valuable experience for 

this year’s group. 

“As young as we were 

last year, a lot of kids got 

experience,” Pieper said. 

“The two things that hurt 

us last year were youth 

and injuries. ... A 5-4 [record] 

is unacceptable for 

our program as we’ve said 

many times. Not making 

the playoffs is unacceptable, 

but we did get a lot of 

playing times from guys, 

so when there was injuries, 

the next guy had to step 

up and play and they happened 

to be young guys.” 

With the hope of reversing 

last season’s script, 

this year’s team filled summer 

workouts and practices 

with an increased sense 

of urgency, led by senior 

captains Nick Mantas, Ben 

Kieffer and Ethan Quayle. 

“We’ve been working 

really hard,” Mantas said. 

“We’ve been trying to put 

in some work in the weight 

room and work harder on 

the field than last year. We 

were definitely disappointed 

with how things ended 

last year, so we don’t want 

our senior year to end like 

last year did. We’re putting 

in the work to make sure 

that doesn’t happen.” 

With the season nearing, 

the team leaders have set a 

clear goal for this year. 

“Winning conference 

is the big thing this year,” 

Kieffer said. “Everyone 

around here just knows 

that. ... Overall, we have 

the team to win conference.” 

Offense 

The Glenbrook North 

offense returns six of 11 

starters from its 2017 unit 

that averaged 24 points per 

game. 

The departures of Jimmy 

Karfis, Chris Heywood 

and Davu Keels — three of 

the Spartans biggest offensive 

contributors in 2017 

— creates the opportunity 

for a new group of leaders 

to step up on offense. And, 

at the helm of that group 

is Quayle, who projects to 

be a key cog in GBN’s offense. 

Quayle anticipates 

the team will tighten up 

its offensive play from last 

year. 

“Leadership-wise on offense, 

I think we’re going 

to be better,” he said. “I 

think we just have to limit 

the mistakes this year. We 

had a lot of penalties last 

year that set us off. We’re 

going to fix that and we’re 

going to be better at that 

for sure.” 

The role of Chris Park 

in the team’s offense was 

limited last season because 

of injuries, but Pieper anticipates 

he’ll also be part 

of the team’s backfield. 

“Chris played for us last 

year and got some reps 

as a junior when Jimmy 

[Karfis] was out ... he’s got 

some experience as well, so 

we’ll be looking for Chris 

to do some things this 

year as well as some other 

guys,” he said. According 

Senior captain Ethan Quayle bursts through an opening during the 2017 season. 

Quayle is among the players head coach Bob Pieper expects to make an impact this 

season. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

to Pieper, the offense has 

not yet determined a starting 

quarterback, largely 

because of the impressive 

play from Tibor Klein, 

Dylan Buckner and Ben 

Foster, the three players 

fighting for the spot. 

“They’re all fighting and 

they’re all doing a good 

job,” Pieper said. 

At wide receiver, the 

Spartans return three receivers 

from last year’s 

group. Kieffer, who was 

primarily a defensive back 

last season, will also spend 

time on offense this season, 

per Pieper. 

“[Ben] showed last year 

with his interceptions and 

ball-hawking that he can 

play receiver and he can 

catch the ball, so we’ll use 

him when we can,” Pieper 

said. 

The team’s offensive 

line will return three of its 

five starters from 2017. 

Defense 

A group that lacked experience 

last season is now 

one filled with just that. 

GBN’s defense will have 

a familiar look as seven 

starters are slated to return 

this season. 

Starting corners Max 

Luc and Kieffer will return 

to man the Spartan defensive 

backfield this season. 

“We have both of our 

corners back with Max 

Luc and Ben Keiffer, so 

hopefully after playing 

nine games on that side of 

the ball, they understand 

what we’re looking for on 

defense and shutting those 

things down on the outside,” 

Pieper said. 

One of the team’s major 

departures is standout linebacker 

Skyler Metzger, 

who led the team with 74 

tackles. Despite losing 

Metzger, Pieper is excited 

to see what this year’s linebacking 

group will bring. 

“We’ve got three of four 

back there as well,” he 

said. “Anytime you lose a 

guy like Skyler, it’s going 

to hurt. ... Somebody will 

step up and step in.” 

Returning players on the 

defensive line, as well as 

the offensive line, is one 

element of this year’s team 

that Pieper feels is imperative. 

“That’s huge [for us],” 

he said. “Everything starts 

up front. We talk about 

blocking and tackling every 

day. Everyone can talk 

about whatever they want 

with X’s and O’s and teams 

and schemes, but it’s about 

blocking and tackling. So 

having three of the five 

back on offense and two of 

the four back on defense 

up front helps us a lot.”

Special Teams 

The return of his kicker 

and punter from last season, 

mixed with a range of 

skill-position players has 

Pieper pleased with how 

the Spartans shape up on 

special teams. 

GBN’s strong mix of talent 

from its position players 

should make for a productive 

special teams unit. 

Per Pieper, the Spartans 

return several players who 

played on “the front wall” 

of the field goal and extra 

point units. 

“We’ve got some guys 

back who have been there 

and done that,” he said. 

“So we just have to find 

the rest of the pieces of the 

puzzle.”
