Glencoe man survives kayak
capsizing; friend still missing
Alyssa Groh and
Erin Yarnall
Contributing Editors
Sebastian
Duncan — a
20-year-old
Glenview
man who
Duncan
is missing
following a
Lake Michigan
kayaking
accident in Lake Forest
on the night of Aug. 27 —
grew up in Wilmette and
is a 2016 graduate of New
Trier High School, according
to a family spokesperson.
Kitty Bliss, representing
the Duncan family of
Glenview, told The Glencoe
Anchor, The Lake
Forest Leader’s sister paper,
that the family is in
“shock.” Duncan is the son
of Wilmette business owner
Tony Duncan, who runs
Body Science PFT, 335
Ridge Road. The family
moved to Glenview from
Wilmette several years
ago.
The U.S. Coast Guard
said in a press release
Aug. 25 that its search
for Duncan has been suspended;
however, crews
from Highland Park and
Lake Forest fire and police
departments will
continue efforts on the
water and on the shore.
The Coast Guard said it
will be available to provide
additional support if
requested.
As of press time, Duncan’s
whereabouts are still
unknown.
Around 5 p.m. Aug. 27,
Duncan and an unidentified
man from Glencoe
From AUG. 28
launched their kayaks at
Park Avenue Beach in
Highland Park, Lake Forest
Deputy Police Chief
Robert Copeland said.
Neither man was wearing
a life jacket, according
to authorities.
After the two kayaks
capsized in rough waters in
Lake Michigan that night,
the Glencoe man swam to
shore in Lake Forest and
alerted nearby residents
of the incident and that his
companion, Duncan, was
missing.
The Lake Forest Police
Department received
a report at 10:30 p.m. of
a missing male in Lake
Michigan waters.
The U.S. Coast Guard
was called around midnight
to assist in rescue
efforts, but the search
was suspended around 2
a.m. because of difficult
weather, according to a
Coast Guard representative.
The U.S. Coast Guard
— assisted by Highland
Park, Lake Forest fire and
police personnel and the
Coast Guard station at
Wilmette Harbor — resumed
the search for the
missing kayaker Aug. 28,
but the Coast Guard suspended
its search at 1 p.m.
that day.
“We have fully saturated
the area,” said Paul Grotelueschen,
a lieutenant
junior grade in the Coast
Guard. “With the technology
we have, further
search efforts wouldn’t increase
chances of finding
someone.”
The search area included
130 square miles by air
and on water along Lake
Michigan, the Coast Guard
reported.
According to Bliss,
Duncan grew up in Wilmette,
attended Wilmette
Junior High School and
played varsity football at
New Trier.
Joseph Sears School
Alumni, a Facebook
group representing the
Kenilworth school, conducted
a search for Duncan
from Park Avenue
Beach in Highland Park to
Lake Forest at noon Aug.
29. The group said “depending
on the number of
volunteers who gather in
Highland Park, searchers
may spread out to Glencoe,
and possibly, up to
Wilmette.”
Duncan’s family also released
a statement to The
Current Friday night, Aug.
31, through family spokesperson
Bliss.
“We the family of Sebastian
Duncan deeply
appreciate the continuing
efforts on foot, in
the air and on the water
to find our son, who has
been missing since Monday
night. Specifically,
we want to recognize the
compassion and unwavering
support of [Highland
Park] Deputy Fire
Chief Tim Pease and his
department and the various
departments he has
been working with.
“We are beyond devastated
but still hopeful he
will be found. We also
want to express our gratitude
for the out pouring
of prayers, volunteer support
from the community

Vernon Playground reopens with more open space, accessibility
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
Although it took a few
weeks longer than planned,
the construction fence was
removed at Vernon Playground
on Aug. 29 and
Glencoe residents enjoyed
the new playground for the
first time.
Construction on the
playground started on
May 23. The project was
initially estimated to take
about six to eight weeks
and open a little earlier in
the summer, but it ended
up actually taking about
three months to complete.
“I think the community
was very patient,” said
Lisa Brooks, Glencoe Park
District board president.
“Had we been able to open
it earlier, we would have.
But that’s the way construction
goes.”
The Glencoe Park Board
approved a $145,000 bid
from Hacienda Landscaping
for the renovation of
the playground at its April
17 meeting. That cost did
not include work performed
by the Park District
or supplies purchased
for the project.
The renovation goal was
to create a playground and
picnic area that offers activities
for the 2-12 year
age group, as well as an
accessible route to the
playground. Brooks listed
more open space and the
paths in the park as two of
the new key additions to
the Vernon Playground.
“The design allows them
to be more creative in
their play because there’s
these paths to play on and
there’s open space, which
our residents requested
more open space for kids
to play,” she said.
Glencoe resident Anne
Frank, who said she lives

facilities Bobby Collins (left) and executive director Lisa

nearby, initially wondered
why the park was being
renovated, but when
it was complete, she was
impressed with the renovations.
“We were here when the
park was smaller and it
was nice, so we were like,
‘Why are they redoing
it?’” she said. “But now
that it’s redone, it’s like,
‘Oh, this is why they redid
it. It’s awesome.’”
Frank pointed to her
highlights of the park as
being the fence, two separate
areas for younger and
older kids, benches, picnic
tables, and trees.
“We’re really glad that
there’s a fence on the corner,”
she added. “I wasn’t
expecting that, so that’s really
nice. I like how there’s
the two separated areas
with the little kids section
and then for older kids. So
when your kids outgrow
it, they still have some fun
things to do. All the benches
are nice and the picnic
tables and the trees.”
Park District Executive
Director Lisa Sheppard
said the mission of the
Park District is to create
memorable experiences,
and that’s what the new
playground is doing. She
added the park was very
underutilized prior to reconstruction
and the ultimate
goal for the new

playground is to bring
people out.
“They wanted this to
be a community gathering
place,” she said. “It’s
bringing the community
together and a chance to
interact, get to know each
other and play. The parents
can have a picnic and they
can have their community
parties here.”
Brooks said what distinguishes
Glencoe from other
communities is a sense
of community that is easier
to create in a small town.
Glencoe is on the small
side when it comes to New
Trier Township communities
with a significantly
smaller population than
Wilmette or Winnetka.
“There’s a lot of young
children in the neighborhood,”
Brooks said. “This
is a neighborhood park and
if you build it they will
come. If you make something
that draws kids out
of their homes to participate
in recreation, they’ll
come and that’s been our
motivation for addressing
the playgrounds in the
community.”

“As we enter the holiday
weekend we urge everyone
who will be out on
the lake to please continue
to assist in this search. All
of those who know our
son Sebastian know what
a brave and extraordinary
young man he is. We have
met with the close friend
who was kayaking with
our son Monday night and
we have spoken to his parents

The Village of Glencoe
and Family Service of
Glencoe have partnered
to promote National Suicide
Prevention Awareness
Month throughout September.
Together the organizations
are working to help
eliminate the stigma of
suicide in our community
by providing educational
materials on the risk factors
and warning signs of
suicide, and by encouraging
positive discussion
around and the use of mental
health resources.
The American Foundation
for Suicide Prevention
reports that over 44,000
Americans die by suicide
each year, and in Illinois,
one person dies by suicide
every six hours. One in
five Americans adults and
children will experience a
mental health condition in
their lifetime, yet, many of
those people who die by
suicide never seek out or
receive effective mental
health services.
“Because of the stigma
surrounding mental health
and suicide, too many people
who are struggling remain
silent and never connect
with the mental health
treatment they need,” said
Kathy Livingston, clinical
director of Family Service
of Glencoe. “Sometimes
all it takes is one conversation
from a friend, family
member or colleague to
help convince someone to
seek professional help. It’s
as easy as saying ‘I’m concerned
about you’ or ‘I’ve
noticed you seem different
lately, is everything OK?’
The message is simple:
if you see something, say
something. All community
members are encouraged
to take time this month to
review the information and
links to more resources
available on the Family
Service of Glencoe website
at www.familyserviceofglencoe.org.
Materials
include lists of risk factors
and warnings signs, and
tips for starting those hard
conversations.
The community is reminded
that in emergencies
call 911 or go
directly to the nearest hospital
emergency room. If
in a crisis, call the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline
at 1-800-273-TALK
(8255) or text TALK to
74174.
us and for their son who
shared with us what happened
Monday night. In
his own words, ‘without
Sebastian’s actions that
night, I wouldn’t be alive
today.’
“Please keep us and his
friend in your prayers.
“We ask that you continue
to respect our privacy
during this most difficult
time.”

Lawyer withdraws from Northfield murder suspect’s case
New Trier alum Gately
fails to provide fees
Megan Bernard, Editor
The attorney representing the
Aug. 13 Northfield murder suspect,
John Gately III, of Winnetka,
has withdrawn from the
case.
In court on Thursday, Aug. 30,
Chicago-based lawyer Michael
J. Petro said he was seeking
leave from the case because he
has “explored many avenues for
fees,” like Gately’s “family and
friends” and has not been successful.
Gately, 66, was charged with
one count of homicide for the
killing of 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, at their residence.
Details of the murder were disclosed
at Gately’s Aug. 16 bonding
hearing, where he was denied
bail.
With Petro’s leave, a public
defender will be appointed today,
according to Judge Anjana
M.J. Hansen.
“Mr. Gately was indigent,”
Petro told The Winnetka Current
after the preliminary
hearing. “His family hasn’t
stepped forward to provide financial
resources. It looks like
it’s going to be a long road
and it’s not fair to my other
clients.”
An unidentified public defender
will be appointed today
to represent Gately, who only
spoke in court to confirm he was
informed of the change in his
representation.
Earlier this month at Gately’s
bond hearing, Petro said Gately
will plead not guilty to the
crimes; however, no plea has
been entered.
Gately will appear in court
with his public defender at 10:30
a.m. Sept. 10 at Skokie Courthouse.
Vacancy filled for Glencoe Village Board
Submitted by Village of Glencoe
Village President
Lawrence R.
Levin announced
Thursday, Aug.
30, his intention
to nominate
Glencoe resident
Greg Turner to fill Turner
the vacant seat on the Board of
Trustees created by trustee Trent
Cornell’s resignation.
As required by State law, the
nomination will be considered
by the Board of Trustees. Such
consideration will take place at
their next regular meeting on
Sept. 20.
If approved by the Village
Board, Turner will serve through
April 2019, and intends to submit
his credentials to the Glencoe
Caucus to be slated to run for
election in April.
A highly-engaged member of
the Glencoe community, Turner
has served on the Village’s Historic
Preservation Commission
since 2015 and was a board
member of the Glencoe Historical
Society from 2014-2017.
Turner holds a master of business
administration (MBA)
from Northwestern University
Kellogg School of Management
and is the current Head
of U.S. Investment Operations
at Legal & General Investment
Management in Chicago. He
and his wife Katie have lived in
Glencoe with their two children
since 2011.
“Over the course of meeting
with over a dozen highly qualified
candidates, Greg stood out
as an excellent choice for Village
Trustee,” Levin said. “He is extremely
bright, and the strength
of his commitment to our community
is exceptional. I am
pleased to nominate Greg to join
the Board of Trustees.”
In commenting about President
Levin’s nomination, Turner
remarked that he “was pleased
and proud to be considered for
this important role” and noted
that he intends to draw upon his
many years of experience in organizational
growth and development
in his role as trustee as
the Village embarks on executing
its new Strategic Plan.
“My wife Katie and I feel privileged
to have the opportunity to
live and raise our family here,”
Turner said, “and being active
participants and contributors
in our Village allows us to give
something back to this very special
community.”

The Lake Forest Fire
Department responded to a
house fire at a vacant home
at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday,
Aug. 29 in east Lake Forest,
according to a press release
from the Lake Forest
Fire Department. The fire
took place on Washington
Road near Maywood
Road, according to Fire-

When crews arrived on
scene, fire department personnel
reported a working
structure fire with flames
and smoke coming from
the rear of the single-family

DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26
Fire crews began offensive
attack and conducted
an initial search and found
the home to be vacant. Division
Chief Mike Gallo
said crews learned from a
neighbor no one currently
lives in the house.
The fire had a significant
head start, so crews
transitioned to a defensive
strategy.
Upon extinguishing most
of the fire from the exterior,
crews made entry and confirmed
the fire was out.
Gallo said crews left the
scene at 7 a.m. but investigators
are still at the scene
determining cause of fire.
Preliminary estimates
put damages at $400,000.
There were no injuries to
civilians or firefighters.
Lake Forest was assisted
at the scene by the Knollwood,
Deerfield, Highland
Park, Libertyville, Mundelein
and Lincolnshire fire
departments. Wheeling and
Lake Bluff fire departments
sent apparatus to cover other
calls in Lake Forest.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK
City denies donated cow
sculpture
Dan Beelow, of Beelow’s
North Shore steakhouse,
requested to donate
a full size steer statue to
Highland Park as a piece of
public art. The City Council
voted 6-0 to deny the
donation of public art from
Beelow’s.
The proposed 5-foot
long, 7-foot tall, 120-pound
black fiberglass male cow
created by an artist in China
would have Beelow’s
logo on one side and display
the types of meat that
come from each section of
the animal on the other (i.e.
burger, ribeye, filet, brisket,
and skirt steak). The sculpture
would help draw attention
to the restaurant from
down the street.
The Cultural Arts Commission
(CAC) discussed
the proposed donation at
their July 19 meeting and
concluded the donation did
not align with city guidelines.
The CAC commission
recommended City Council
to deny the donation.
Assistant city manager
Rob Sabo explained this
was because the piece is
not deemed aesthetically
important as it seems more
advertising than art (Beelow’s
is written on the
side), and the piece doesn’t
align with the city’s educational
aims.
“There was concern [at
the CAC meeting] with
the promotion of different
slabs of meat painted on the
steer,” Sabo said.
No one from Beelow’s
was present at the Aug. 27
City Council meeting to
present a counterpoint. The
council proceeded to vote
all in favor of denying the
donation as the CAC commission
recommended.

Glencoe residents welcome Israeli teens as part of program
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Something special happened
this summer for a
group of young people.
They were participants
in the Friends of the Israeli
Defense Force’s Legacy
program and guests of
Glencoe and Winnetka
families who hosted them.
“About two dozen
young people — Bar and
Bat Mitzvah age — and
their counselors came to
the U.S. and stayed with
North Shore families who
opened their homes to
them,” said Tamir Oppenheim,
Midwest executive
director of Friends of
the Israeli Defense Force.
“All had a parent or sibling
killed while serving in the
[force].”
After staying with a local
family, they went to
Wisconsin’s Camp Chi,
visited Toronto and Niagara
Falls, followed by a trip
to New York City.
Glencoe’s Tracy Wolfe,
her husband Jonathan and
their children welcomed
three young people and a
counselor for the first time.
“It was an awesome
experience,” Wolfe said.
“We bonded with the kids.
My kids — Lila, 9, Jacob,
6 and Theo, 4 — enjoyed
having them. I speak a little
Hebrew and what I did not
know their counselor translated.”
Many activities were
packed into the four days.
One was a visit to Great
America made possible by
Deerfield’s Bnai Tikvah,
whose members donated
money for tickets.
Each hosting family had
its own activities on the
other days that included
sight-seeing and souvenir
shopping.
“We went to Maggie
Daley Park, rock climbing,
kayaking and did a river
walk,” Wolfe said. “Our
young guests thought it was
so cool when we stopped at
a Chicago fire station. They
got to climb on a fire truck
and into an ambulance.
“It was amazing. I am
encouraging my friends to
do it next year.”
Sarah and Stuart Miller
and their children — Jenna,
Joey and Jake — are another
Glencoe family who
hosted young people from
the Legacy program.
“We have been doing
this every summer for
about five years,” Sarah
Miller said.
Miller cooked a Shabbat
meal herself for about
50-60 people who gathered
Friday evening.
“I do all the cooking
and love it,” she said. “We
spent a day touring the city
and pizza afterwards at Lou
Malnati’s.”
She told how one of
the girls they hosted was
homesick.
“We became like family,”
Miller said. “She cried
when it was time to leave.
They keep in touch with us
through social media. I had
as much fun as did they.”
Winnetka’s Lori Komisar
and husband Morrie Silverman,
a national Friends
of the Israeli Defense Force
board member, have been
part of the Legacy program
for nine years.
“Hosting young people
from the Legacy program
is one of our favorite activities,”
Komisar said. “We
have two to five kids at our
house each summer.”
The couple invites the entire
group to their home for
a pool and pizza party.
“Another tradition is
having the kids make Challah
and decorating it,” she
said. “After dinner we
make s’mores. We have a
blast.”
Komisar adds many siblings
of young people she
and her husband hosted
want to come to their house
while they are here.
“They can share a memory
of being in the same
place,” Komisar said. “We
do many of the touristy
things everyone else does.
We also get tickets for
Blue Man Group. There is
no language barrier with
that show.”
Komisar said although
these young people receive
the trip as a gift from the
Legacy program, they are a
gift to all the host families.
“The stories these children
tell you are gutwrenching,”
Komisar said.
“We want them to know
they are truly loved and
people care about them. We
keep in touch. These are
my children. I love everyone
of them.”

City Girl Confessions
Opening up at Writers
Open Mic Nights
Kelly Anderson
Contributing Columnist
Three years ago, I
took my son to a
class at Glencoe
Public Library when my
eye caught a sign: “Writers
Open Mic, Second
Wednesday of Every
Month, 7 p.m.” Hmm.
My curiosity was peaked.
Upon selecting some
picture books and novels,
I leaned in and asked the
librarian, “What’s the
deal with the Open Mic
stuff?”
She smiled. “Anyone
is welcome to attend and
read. Usually there’s a
good turn out and the
group is really supportive.”
Hmm. It was precisely
what I wanted, what
I badly needed at that
time in my life. There
was just one problem:
actually showing up.
This seems to be something
that us adults find
difficulty doing. For one,
we are juggling many
hats and responsibilities.
The idea of adding “one
more thing” to the list is
daunting. For those that
have families, there is the
notion of childcare and
dinner prep — two more
daunting deterrents. And
on a personal note, I get
anxiety. It’s not always
easy for me to stomach
the nerves of new, unfamiliar
territory.
Thankfully, I decided to
forge ahead and show up,
nerves and all. I stood at
a podium in the upstairs
of the library and read a
short story I had written. I
gained a little confidence,
valuable feedback and
some friendly smiles. In
short, I survived trying
something brand new
and cramming it into my
schedule.
What I learned is that
a Writers Open Mic is
not just for writers, but
for listeners, wannabe
writers or even just
someone looking to fill
a few hours of the day.
All are welcome, all are
encouraged to participate
in whatever manner feels
comfortable.
But the best part of all
is what you will hear:
poems, skits, short stories,
little bits of novels,
readings from newly
released books, jokes,
interviews, essays, travel
reviews, even songs. I
have marveled many
times over at the incredible,
creative brilliance
that shows up for these
Open Mics. I have made
great new friends, gained
a sounding board for my
writing and been fantastically
entertained in my
years as an attendee and
occasional host. I am constantly
surprised.
Speaking of hosts, the
Open Mics are overseen
by local legend Bob
Boone. He’s a writer,
teacher and editor with a
PhD in English education
from Northwestern. But
best of all, Bob genuinely
“sees” one’s writing. He
finds the little ebbs and
flows, the tiny nuances
that work and the bits that
get off track. His feedback
is coveted and is
given with great sincerity.
Let’s face it — standing
in front of a room
and sharing something
you’ve written is like
ripping your heart out and
handing it to a stranger.
Thankfully, Bob knows
just how to empower a
writer’s spirit.
If you find any of this
intriguing, or just wish to
show up and see what the
fuss is about, then come to
September’s Writers Open
Mic at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Sept. 12 at Glencoe
Library. Bob will be traveling
and I will be guesthosting
in his place (and
doing my best to mimic
his zest and optimism).
See you there.

Calling all community writers
Megan Bernard
megan@glencoeanchor.com
If you are interested in
writing for your local
newspaper and seeing
your byline in ink possibly
each week, this column is
for you. Read on!
The Glencoe Anchor is
on the search for community
writers right now.
This paper relies on a
group of talented writers
to cover the events and
stories we can’t necessarily
make it to or get to
during the week.
I’m sure you have seen
our freelancers’ names
within our pages by now,
or have even met them in
town (they are awesome,
hard working people!).
These paid community
contributors also pitch
their own story ideas and
cover what they enjoy
or what interests them
on their own schedule.
They, however, do abide
and work with us on our
weekly deadlines.
So, whether you’re an
experienced journalism
vet or a stay-at-home
mom with writing experience,
or something in
between, this freelance
writer position might be
for you.
Specially, right now
we’re looking for mostly
news reporters, but if
you’re a talented features
or sports writer (or even
photographer), don’t be
shy to introduce yourself.
The door — and my
email — is open. If you’re
interested, please email
me your resume and a
couple writing clips at megan@glencoeanchor.com.
Village of Glencoe posted this photo on Aug. 28

From Page 10
According to the parents,
their sons received
no response from coach
Justin Gerbich when they
informed him of their situations.
Adam Myers missed
the tryout because he was
participating in the prestigious
pro-am tournament,
the Illinois Open.
According to Adam’s
father Alan Myers, “The
overriding issue is: why is
GBN handling the situation
differently than virtually
every other school in
the state?”
He cited perennial powerhouses
Hinsdale Central,
New Trier, Glenbrook
South, Highland Park and
Stevenson as high-profile
suburban programs that
have allowed their golfers
to play in the Illinois
Open.
“We feel there’s a lack
of communication and a
lack of common sense,”
Myers concluded.
Robin O’Regan, the father
of Kevin O’Regan,
told the board: “This
policy is unjust and goes
against the principles of
District 225. I had two
daughters who played tennis
at GBN under Coach
Peggy Holecek and had
a wonderful experience.
There is absolutely no correlation
between the way
the girls’ tennis and boys’
golf programs are conducted.”
When contacted by The
Tower, Gerbich declined to
comment on the situation.

Security enhancements
announced for start of

continues to be a primary
goal,” Superintendent Dr.
Ray Lechner said. “Given
the school violence that
was experienced in 2017-
18, we conducted yet another
thorough review of
existing safety procedures
and developed phased

Glencoe Library readies kids for kindergarten
Jennifer Bennett
Freelance Reporter
With big bright smiles
and a little bit of pep in
their step, soon-to-be kindergartners
gathered at the
Glencoe Public Library for
the annual Kindergarten
Kickoff.
The celebration, now in
its 10th year, welcomed
guests on both Thursday-
Friday, Aug. 30-31, to a
one-of-a-kind party. This
popular event is a favorite
of children’s associate
librarian and kindergarten
kickoff event organizer
Susan Schober.
“This is one of my favorite
programs that I
have ever participated in
here,” Schober said. “It is
so wonderful to see these
kids in a classroom mode
and to see their excitement
and a little bit of nerves.
And to see them get into
the swing of kindergarten
is a real joy for me.”
Schober kicked off the
festivities with a small
writing exercise. Kids had
fun as they practiced printing
their names on a big
yellow cardboard school
bus, and then received
their own name tag to get
the party started with.
Next, children headed
into the Hammond Room,
where they were excited
to participate in an interactive
story time. Schober
read the books, “We Don’t
Eat Our Classmates” and
“Is Your Buffalo Ready for
Kindergarten?” Kids also
had a chance to get some
of their wiggles out as they
clapped and sang along to
the song, “The Wheels on
the Bus.”
New to the community,
Glencoe’s Karina Dixon
hoped her 5-year-old son
Mattis might meet some
new friends at the event.
“I think the program
is great. The kids can get
introduced to each other
before they meet in school.
And it helps them to get
ready for kindergarten,”
Dixon said.
The celebration continued
as the kids created
their very own kindergarten
time capsule. The library
provided each child
with a piece of construction
paper and, with the
help of a buddy, they traced
their hands and feet on the
paper. Schober explained
to the group that revisiting
their time capsule at the
end of kindergarten was a
wonderful way to see how
much they have grown
over their year.
After working hard on
their capsules, it was time
for a healthy snack. Kids
munched on their goodies
and practiced the art
of sitting quietly as they
learned that skill would be
expected of them this coming
school year.
Laura Bromwich, of
Glencoe, was happy
to bring her 5-year-old
daughter Addison to the
event.
“I think this program is
great. It’s a great way for
Addison to meet other kids
in her class as well as gain
a little bit of independence
before the first day of kindergarten,”
Bromwich
said.
Still, the kindergarten

kickoff party wouldn’t
be complete without
an alphabet scavenger

throughout the children’s
department and kids were
given a check sheet to
mark off as they found

Glencoe mom Leah Lyle
said her daughter Parker
was all smiles after the
event.
“Parker loved it,” she
said. “She seemed so happy
and she loved the scavenger
hunt.”
And as the annual Kindergarten
Kickoff came
to an end, kids posed for
a few pictures and walked
away feeling more excited
than ever for kindergarten.

Benvenuti and Stein designs more than 900 homes in Glencoe, Winnetka
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Creativity is in his blood
and so is an old-fashioned
work ethic.
The success of Winnetka’s
Geno Benvenuti’s
business, Benvenuti and
Stein Inc., vouches for his
41 years of quality workmanship.
His firm has a long history
of designing and building
custom cabinetry, new
homes, creating custom
cabinetry and remodeling
houses, many of which are
in Glencoe and Winnetka.
“I could not think of doing
anything else,” Benvenuti
said. “I have been in
business continuously.”
That urge to create and
build something began
shortly after Benvenuti
graduated from college.
“I grew up in Wilmette,
started working in construction,
learned carpentry
skills and worked with
a designer,” he said. “That
set me in motion to do
more.”
Jeff Stein and Benvenuti
opened their own design
and building business in
1977. He bought out Stein
in 1981 and has had his
own firm ever since.
“I went to night school
at Chicago’s Harrington
School of Design to learn
more about design and
then took classes at Oakton
Community College to
further my knowledge of
architecture,” Benvenuti
said.
He learned the subtle,
yet quality ways of building
new and making improvements
in older structures.
All of his cabinets
have miter-fold corners.
He uses only the best
grades of materials.
Benvenuti’s eagerness
to be creative, while adhering
to quality workmanship
has paid off.
His reputation grew as
the remodeling bubble of
the 1980s became more
robust.
“Remodeling took off in
the 1980s,” he said. “The
inventory of homes was
from a different era. Houses
were much smaller and
not adequate for growing
families. Owners wanted
family rooms and bigger
kitchens.”
Benvenuti obliged by
doing what has since set
him apart from most other
designers and builders and
contributed to his success.
“We do the complete
job for our customers from
start to finish,” Benvenuti
said. “We are there for the
entire project, no handing
it off to someone else. Our
process helps keep us on
schedule and budget.”
Benvenuti is extremely
proud of that facet of his
business.
He added sometimes, a
customer will go away for
an extended time.
“We take over, send
photos of the project
throughout the process,
get the customer’s approval,”
Benvenuti said. “We
do it all from concept to
completion including maid
service at the end of a job.
They come home to a sparkling,
clean environment.”
His most favorite projects
focus on interior work
and remodeling kitchens.
“We do a lot of specialty
millwork and cabinetry,”
Benvenuti said. “We also
build new homes and reclaim
the original architectural
beauty of homes
that were covered over by
individuals who seemingly
had no true appreciation
for their once beautiful exteriors.”
He cites various homes
on the North Shore that he
and his staff remodeled to
look like they originally
were intended.
Benvenuti strongly believes
in recycling.
Reviewing a project plan with Geno Benvenuti (center)
are architect Jeff Herberholz (left), 17-year team
member, and project manager Gerry Russell in the
Hubbard Woods showroom. Photo Submitted
“All reusable material
we take out of a house
when remodeling it goes
to the nonprofit Evanston
Rebuilding Warehouse,”
said Bevenuti, who is a
board member. “All proceeds
go to supporting the
warehouse and training
underprivileged men and
women in the deconstruction
trade.”
Benvenuti is proud of
the praise he has received
from the Preservation Society
of Winnetka for the
houses whose exteriors he
transformed back to the
ones they once were.
“Since 1977, we have
completed 910 projects —
372 in Winnetka and 90 in
Glencoe,” he said. “About
220 of them are repeat customers.”
Bevenuti’s showroom is
located at 899 1/2 Green
Bay Road, Winnetka.

Unexpected ownership keeps Spiro’s running
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Peter Nestos never
thought he’d be in the family
business.
Now, 24 years after taking
over his parents deli,
the owner of Spiro’s Deli
continues to carry on the
traditions his parents set
back in 1966.
When the store opened,
on the northeast corner of
Lake and Waukegan Road
in Glenview, it was a fullservice
deli run by Nestos’
parents. But big chain
grocery stores like Jewel-
Osco, and the now defunct
Dominick’s, forced
the family to rethink its
menu.
“In the late ’70s, [my
dad] turned over to more
fast food because Dominick’s
and Jewel, one-stop
shops, were bringing in
more lunch meats and everything
else like that,”
Nestos said. “His business
went down and he reinvented
himself by bringing
in the burgers, the gyro –
more of a fast food type of
thing.”
Most of those menu
items still exist at Spiro’s
and have become favorite
with customers far and
wide. Spiro’s offers gyros,
Italian beef and sausages,
multiple chicken pita sandwiches,
burgers and even
some breakfast items. And
like when his parents ran
the deli, the majority of
the food is made in-house,
prepared and cooked onsite.
But, Spiro’s storied past
could have been drastically
different. In 1994,
before Nestos took over
the business, Spiro’s lost
its lease and was forced to
look for a new location after
28 years.
With both of his parents
health failing, Nestos
Spiro’s Deli in Glenview offers the Reuben sandwich, which features a half pound of
lean corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, melted Swiss cheese and is
grilled on rye bread. Photos by Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media
Spiro’s gyro features thinly sliced meat topped with generous portions of tomatoes,
onions and tzatziki sauce all served on a pita.
left his job at the Chicago
Board of Trade and took
over the shop. His dad lost
his battle with lung cancer
in November of 1994 and
three months later the deli
moved to its current location
across from the Glenview
Fire Department.
“Originally there was
the Domino’s Pizza that
was supposed to open
up next door,” he said. “I
know they do a lot of surveys
and traffic patterns
and everything else like
that, and this space came
available, so I basically
just downsized everything.
I made it more of a carry
out than all that seating
that we had before.”
When the editors from
22nd Century Media visited
Spiro’s Deli, they were
greeted by Nestos and got
to taste not only some of
his favorite things on the
menu, but some of the
shop’s more popular items.
The first dish that came
out was one of the more
famous dishes, the bomber.
The sandwich is named
after a military squadron,
from the former military
base in Glenview, that
would consistently visit
the shop.
They would come in
and always ask Spiro
when he was naming a
sandwich after them, and
the result was the Bomber
($7.29 for a 6-inch sub,
The bomber is served with Italian beef topped with
melted Swiss cheese, pickle, onion and the deli’s
special sauce on French bread.
$9.29 for a 9-inch sub).
The sandwich is an Italian
beef with melted
Swiss cheese, pickle, onion
and the deli’s special
sauce all served on fresh
baked French bread. The
sandwich didn’t have any
ingredient overpower another
and was the perfect
size once cut up into three
sections for the three editors.
Next, we were able to
try one of Nestos’ current
favorite menu items,
the Athenian chicken pita
($6.49). Marinated and
grilled chicken breast was
sliced and served on a pita
with lettuce and tomato,
and was topped with imported
feta cheese and
Greek dressing.
Our editors also got to
try the Reuben sandwich
($10.49). One of our editors,
a Reuben sandwich
aficionado, said is one of
the best she’s ever had.
The Reuben is made up
of a half pound of lean
corned beef, sauerkraut,
thousand island dressing,
melted Swiss cheese and
grilled on rye bread.
Fresh-cut and seasoned
fries ($2.15 for a small,
$2.99 for a large) were a
perfect complement for all
of our dishes.
The gyros sandwich
Spiro’s Deli
1210 Waukegan Road,
Glenview
(847) 729-6650
10 a.m.-7 p.m.
Monday-Friday
9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday
11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday
($6.35), another staple in
the deli, had thin-sliced
meat served with tomatoes,
onions and tzatziki
sauce served on a pita.
Neither the sauce nor the
onions were too overpowering
and complemented
the meat well.
The last dish we tried
was a poor boy sandwich,
Spiro’s Ultimate ($7.45
for a 7-inch sandwich,
$9.95 for a footlong).
All poor boys come with
pickle, tomato, provolone
cheese, banana peppers,
oregano and famous come
back sauce served on fresh
baked French bread. What
makes the Ultimate stand
out was its combination of
Spiro’s roast beef, roasted
turkey and imported ham.
Spiro’s Deli has been in
the community for a long
time and it’s easy to see
why. Nestos is confident
his sandwiches are some
of the best around.
“Whatever you get, you
will enjoy.”

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Logan Weaver
The New Trier senior
soccer player will play at
Northwestern next season.
If you could travel
anywhere in the
world, where would it
be and why?
I would travel to Canada
because I think it would
be convenient. They
have beautiful national
parks and I would love
to go hiking and camping
through those parks. It’d
be absolutely amazing.
What’s the best part
about being a New
Trier athlete?
Best part about being a
New Trier athlete is the
community that comes
with it. Everybody on
your team and everybody
on other sports teams is
always supporting you.
When you have that kind
of support base you feel
very confident.
If you could play
another sport, what
would you play and
why?
Absolutely, I would
play basketball. I stopped
after seventh grade, and I
still think about it all the
time.
What’s been your
favorite moment at
New Trier?
Winning the hydrant
back. The hydrant is an
old fire hydrant that was
decommissioned and the
Evanston head coach took
it and now it’s passed back
and forth between Evanston
and New Trier’s soccer
teams, and whoever’s
won last, takes it, paints
it their colors and signs
it. My favorite New Trier
memory was last year
when we beat Evanston at
their place, reclaiming the
hydrant and were able to
repaint it the next day.
What’s the hardest
part about soccer?
The hardest part about
soccer, I can describe that
in one quote. Soccer is
simple, but playing simple
soccer is very difficult.
What’s the best part
about playing soccer?
The best part about
playing soccer is the team
because you need all 11
guys, and you need al the
guys on the bench to win.
When that does happen,
everybody’s involved, it’s
never one person’s glory.
It’s everybody’s and being
a part of that kind of structure
is an amazing thing.
What’s one thing that
people don’t know
about you?
I love “Game of
Thrones,” and I started to
read the books.
If you could have a
superpower, what
would it be and why?
22nd Century Media File
Photo
Superspeed, absolutely.
Like the Flash. There’s
always stuff that at the
end of the day, I feel like
I basically have enough
time for, and that would
solve those problems really
quickly.
If you had $3 at
Walgreens what
would you buy?
I wish I could say something
interesting, but I’d
probably get a bottle of
water.
We’ll go back to:
what’s one item on
your bucket list?
One item on my bucket
list. All right. To make
myself and my family
proud.

Loyola settles down, holds off GBN
Michal Dwojak
Contributing Sports Editor
Fans at the match between
Glenbrook North
and Loyola Academy
might’ve been surprised
it was August and not November
based on the atmosphere
between the Spartans
and the Ramblers.
With a packed GBN student
section and loud gym
filled with chants at every
break, the match felt like a
postseason game between
the two area schools.
Both teams could use
the Wednesday, Aug. 29,
match as an example for
what they’ll need to do
to make a deep run in the
playoffs after Loyola held
off a furious Spartans rally
to win the match 25-13,
26-24. Too many errors
early on for GBN proved to
be too much to overcome
against a strong Ramblers
squad.
“We definitely started
things very slow,” GBN
head coach Tiffany Kim
said. “Our first game, we’re
all just sitting back, we
let the nerves get to us. It
was just a mental game at
the beginning and then we
picked it up in the second
set, but it was too late, even
though we came back.”
The tense atmosphere
started in the middle of the
second set when the Spartans
came back from a 19-
13 deficit to take a lead in
the final points of the set,
23-22. The Spartans crowd
was behind them but that
was when the Ramblers
calmed down and collected
themselves. They battled
it out at 24 before Loyola
took the win 26-24 off of
a strong swinging attack
from senior Julia Martinez.
Loyola’s lull came mostly
because of the unforced
Loyola Academy girls volleyball players celebrate after
a won point in the second set of the Ramblers’ match
against Glenbrook North on Aug. 29 in Northbrook.
Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media
errors they made, according
to Loyola head coach
Mallory Thelander. The
Ramblers didn’t give the
Spartans an opportunity to
play the ball after hitting
into the net and creating
other errors. This was an
issue in the team’s loss to
Prospect a week before, but
this time Loyola managed
to overcome their own obstacles.
“We came out really
strong and we were really
positive the whole time,
so that was really good,”
Loyola senior Anne Martinson
said. “At the end, we
got too relaxed I would say,
but then at the very end, we
brought our competitiveness
back and wanted to
win.”
For GBN, Kim wants her
team to work on their slow
starts. The Spartans looked
sluggish in the first set as
they couldn’t figure out a
way to stop Loyola’s strong
hitting and get past their
strong presence at the net,
which is why they lost the
first set 25-13.
Slow starts are something
Kim has noticed from
her young team so far in the
season, and the moment of
playing against Loyola in
such an atmosphere didn’t
help.
“I think we were just
nervous,” Spartans middle
Erin Rosdahl said. “There
were a lot of people and we
were playing Loyola and
we knew they were a good
team, so I think we got
some cold feet. But as the
game progressed, we got
into the groove of things.”
Loyola’s adaptiveness
will play a key in their success
under first-year coach
Thelander. The group spent
five days of practice installing
a new defense and
trying to fix the problems
they’ve seen early on in the
season.
While there are still
things the Loyola coach
wants her players to work
on, she knows that there’s a
talent there that can create
a deep run once November
comes around.
“I want them to know that
we’re great,” Thelender
said. “I think we’re an awesome
team who can play at
a super-high level and still
think we’ve seen little slits
of what we’re capable of
doing.”
Mary Kate Lopez led
Loyola with five kills and
12 assists.

Garvey helps Titans win first monthly honor
Michal Dwojak, Contributing Sports Editor
It took over half a year, but the people

Titans boys lacrosse player Dylan Garvey
won the honor in a month that featured
higher voting totals than usual. Garvey
finished in first place with 215 votes,

Forest girls water polo player Holly Malnati,
who each finished with 64 and 58
votes, respectively.
Garvey was a major contributor for the
GBS program and helped the boys lacrosse
team reach its goals.

Platform tennis: a fun sport on the rise
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
When one thinks of
tennis, usually snow and
below-freezing temperatures
aren’t something that
come to mind.
Tell that to Greg O’Neil
and Colin Cross of the
Winnetka Paddle Tennis
Club. The two have been
vital in the rise of the sport,
especially on the North
Shore and through the
Winnetka Park District.
But paddle tennis, also
known as platform tennis,
isn’t your Serena Williams/Roger
Federer-style
of tennis. It’s tennis played
on a court that is one-third
of the size of a regular tennis
court, a paddle drilled
with aerodynamic holes, a
fence wrapped around the
court so you can play balls
off the wall.
Oh yeah ... it’s also
played during the winter.
The courts do have heaters
but something that
keeps the players warm is
what keeps all those just
walking around in the winter
warm: layers.
“I mean I’ve seen people
in 10 degree playing in
short sleeve T-shirts, you
know just because they’ve
warmed up so much, and
sweating so much,” Cross
said. “But, that kind of
makes it fun, because
you’re out there in the real
bitter cold, but you don’t
feel cold after a while.”
While you can play the
sport as a singles player,
most play doubles.
But what makes the
sport stand out from others
is the social aspect.
“After the match, we
just come in and have a
beer, and have some pizza,”
Cross said. “It’s just
competitive, but when the
match is over you can socialize.”
There is a league for all
of Chicagoland, which last
year had 340 teams in it.
Teams come from all over
the area, Wilmette, Winnetka,
Hinsdale, Glen Ellyn,
all for an opportunity
to play one of the nation’s
fastest growing sports.
According to the American
Platform Tennis Association,
there are 47 facilities
in the Chicago area
that offer the chance to
play paddle tennis and 179
courts at those facilities to
try it on.
For the upcoming 2018-
19 season, Winnetka Platform
Tennis Club will offer
two options for their male
members, to be part of the
Chicago Platform Tennis
Charities travel league or
the newly-formed North
Shore League. The new
league is similar to the
CPTC one, but without the
long travel.
Taking a swing
I got a chance to play
when I visited the facility
on Aug. 15 and got to play
with O’Neil, Cross and
one of the league’s female
players, Holly Kawula.
Coming into the day, I
had no idea what to expect
when getting out onto the
court, maybe I’d be taught
how to hit the ball, receive,
etc. I really wasn’t expecting
to play in a doubles
match.
I was an athlete growing
up, played volleyball
in college, but had never
really gotten the hang of
racquet sports. Luckily, the
Cross, O’Neil and Kawula
were all understanding and
would help me throughout
the day.
I was paired on a team
with O’Neil, who is Winnetka’s
director of platform
tennis and former
tennis professional, while
Cross and Kawula were
across the net from us.
For the next half-hourto-hour,
the three helped
me learn the proper way
to serve, swing the paddle,
play the ball off the fence,
where to stand and more.

We got to the point
where I actually didn’t
want to leave the court, it
was that much fun. Sure, at
first it was a little disheartening
when the ball sails
past your paddle or you
take a swing and the ball
sails into the baseball stadium
located on the other
side of the tennis court.
The three were kind of
enough to not be too hard
on me when that did happen
and to be patient with
me, especially in O’Neil’s
case, when I’d misjudge
a ball coming toward me
or not move to the proper
spot when need be.
In the end, I’d recommend
everyone going and
checking out. There will
be open houses every
Sunday from 2-3:30 p.m.
in September.
Boys soccer
Trevians, Spartans tie in very physical affair
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
After two tightly contested
games last season,
it wouldn’t have been a
shock to see Glenbrook
North and New Trier battle
in another close match,
especially since they have
been some of the better
teams in the area.
“My main takeaway
from the game tonight is
that when GBN took the
momentum, we settled
ourselves down and I
thought we dragged ourselves
back into the game,
playing our style of soccer,”
New Trier coach
Matt Ravenscraft said.
The fans got a close match
and more, as the Spartans
and Trevians ended their
final pool play game of the
Northside College Showcase
in a 3-3 tie Thursday
Aug. 30, in Northfield.
Logan Weaver got the
Trevians (1-1-2) on the
board with 26 minutes,
45 seconds left in the first
half when he put a laser
past the GBN goalie Nick
Washelesky. It was the
second consecutive game
that Weaver had scored an
early goal for the Trevians.
“He’s a great player
and great players change
the game,” the coach said
about Weaver. “He shows
you time and time again his
quality and what he can do.”
The Spartans scored
nearly 40 seconds later
when they had a good opportunity
on somewhat of
a breakaway but the shot
sailed high.
After not scoring in its
previous two matches,
Glenbrook North got on
the board thanks to a Joey
Martens penalty kick with
just under four minutes remaining
in the first half.
“I couldn’t be prouder of
the boys today,” Martens
said. “We put our heart and
soul into that and adding a
few guys, we’re going to
be a force to reckon with.”
Much like the first half,
it was the Trevians with the
early pressure. After earning
a corner with just over
nine minutes elapsed in
the half, Alex Powell put a
ball in the net after the ball
bounced around in the box.
During the goal celebration,
a scuffle broke out
between the two teams and
Waselewsky was shown a
red card, forcing the Spartans
to play down a man
for the final 30 minutes, 36
seconds of the match.
While playing down
a man might bring some
teams down, it seemed to
rejuvenate the Spartans,
who even the score on a
Gabe Nayman goal three
minutes after the ejection.
“When we went down
a man, it gave us a boost
because we knew that we
need to strike early and
get a goal,” Martens said.
“I knew we had to rise and
push and get a goal. Then
we tied it and then Dave
(Schueler) came out with
this banger and we just held
on for as long as we could.”
David Schueler, who
was making his season debut
after missing the first
four games with a sprained
ankle injury suffered in the
preseason, gave GBN its
first lead on a marvelous
strike with 23:06 left in the
match. Schueler took the
pass, boxed out and turned
and fired a shot into the upper
left corner of the net.
“I was feeding off my
teammates, there was a lot
of great energy out there,
so it wasn’t hard to get back
into it,” he said. “I was looking
for a pass, nothing was
opening and so I looked for
the goal and just shot it.”
Down a goal, the Trevians
continued to push toward
the goal, looking for
the equalizer.
They got it when Andrew
Kuhn put in a goal
with 1:28 left in the match.
“I was really fortunate
because Daniel Guenther
played a great ball,” Kuhn
said. “I thought we generated
a lot of chances once
GBN scored their third
goal. We remained calm,
we kept moving the ball
looking for opportunities
and it just came. It was late,
but it came.”

Schiltz leads Loyola over New Trier
neil Milbert
Freelance Reporter
In a span of eight days,
Matthew Schiltz has gone
from obscurity to a starring
role on the Loyola Academy
football team.
He took over at quarterback
when longtime teammate
Jack Fallon sustained
an injury to his throwing
arm in the opener at Rockford,
Mich. and led the
Ramblers to a 26-7 triumph
by completing 13-of-22
passes for 192 yards and
one touchdown.
Then, on Friday, Aug.
31 under the lights at New
Trier, with Fallon watching
with his arm in a sling,
Schiltz outdid himself by
connecting on 14-of-18
passes for 244 yards and
four touchdowns to play
the most significant role in
Loyola’s 40-3 victory.
“He’s really 1A,” said
coach John Holecek, talking
about Schiltz’s status
on the quarterback pecking
order. “I love the poise
that kid has on the field. His
heart rate doesn’t go up.
He’s got an accurate touch
and he can throw long.”
While Schiltz went into

Top Performers
1. Matthew Schiltz, Loyola quarterback
14-of-18, 244 yards passing, 4 touchdowns.
2. Artie Collins, Loyola wide receiver
5 catches, 98 yards receiving, 2 touchdowns.
3. Rory Boos, Loyola wide receiver
2 catches, 108 yards receiving, 2 touchdowns.
his senior season with scant
varsity experience, Holecek
pointed out that “he
has been playing quarterback
for quite a while; he
was the OLPH (Our Lady
of Perpetual Help) quarterback
and Jack got moved to
another position because he
was bigger.”
Not surprisingly, two
of his OLPH teammates,
wide receivers Artie Collins
and Rory Boos, were
his biggest collaborators in
the New Trier game. Boos
caught touchdown passes
on plays covering 17 and
86 yards and Collins hauled
down five passes for 98
yards, scoring on 14- and
15-yard receptions and setting
up another touchdown
on a 41-yard pass play that
put the ball on the Trevians’
one-yard line.
“I trust those guys so
much,” Schiltz said of
Boos and Collins.
“We knew all summer
he was this good,” Collins
said. “We knew with him in
there we weren’t going to
miss a beat.”
Schiltz said he “was
ready to go in” after Fallon
was injured in the Rockford
game. “The nerves
were minimal.”
It was the same in the
New Trier game. “I tried to
just ignore the hype and focus,”
he said.
The game was the first
Loyola’s Trevor Cabanban looks to get through a New
Trier tackle during the teams’ game Friday, Aug. 31, in
Northfield. Margo Grogan/22nd Century Media
played in the newly-remodeled
stadium and it drew a
sellout crowd.
But then, with 1:55
to play in the first quarter,
the rain came, halting
play, sending some of the
crowd scurrying to shelter
and others to the exits. The
Ramblers were leading 7-0
but the Trevians had a first
down on the Loyola 11-
yard line.
The game was delayed
for 81 minutes. When it
resumed there were empty
seats galore on the New
Trier side of the field but on
the Loyola side the stands
were still packed.
The Trevians were
pushed back to the Loyola
13 and had to settle for Graham
Dable’s 33-yard field
goal.
Loyola retaliated with
Schiltz’s touchdown passes
to Collins and at the half
was on top 20-3.
“Everything was set up
to be a great night and the
weather kinda changed
things,” New Trier coach
Brian Doll said. “We never
got back into our rhythm
after that. I felt pretty good
about where we were before
the delay and we felt
good with the adjustments
we made but we came out
flat. Football is all about
momentum.”
In the second half, the
Ramblers gained momentum.
Boos caught the bomb
from Schiltz in the third
quarter and in the fourth
quarter Tyler Flores’ oneyard
run got the touchdown
that was set up by Collins’
reception and defensive
back Jack Burke parlayed a
fumble recovery into a 16-
yard touchdown.
Overshadowed by the
explosiveness of the Ramblers’
passing game was
the effectiveness of their
running backs — Trevor
Cabanban (8 carries for 81
yards), Michael Gavric (8
for 31), Flores (9 for 29)
and Darrell Poku (8 for 33
after entering the game in
the closing minutes).
The Trevians had a hard
time running the football
and quarterback Carson
Ochsenhirt frequently encountered
heavy pressure
when he tried to pass. He
was sacked frequently but
managed to complete 7-of-
18 passes for 95 yards and
added 30 more yards in 14
rushing attempts. Carson
Kosanovich was his primary
receiver with three receptions
for 66 yards, most
of which came on a 50-yard
play on the drive that produced
the field goal.
New Trier’s best running
back, Brian Sitzer, was
shaken up in the first half.
He carried only three times
and netted four yards.

Three TEAMS of the
week
1. Loyola football
(above). The
Ramblers cruised
to an easy win over
New Trier, beating
their rivals 40-3.
An 81-minute
rain delay didn’t
stop the explosive
offense or the
suffocating
defense as the
team improved to
2-0 on the year.
2. New Trier girls
volleyball. The
Trevians stayed
undefeated on
the young season
by sweeping
through their
own tournament,
beating Loyola in
three sets for the
title.
3. New Trier field
hockey. The
Trevians went
undefeated in
four games at the
Gateway Classic in
St. Louis.

Then the rain and lightning

Fans and players
rushed to their cars and

Eighty-one minutes later,
the game resumed, but

been like if the delay
hadn’t happened.
Regardless of the
outcome, the night proved
one thing: the rivalry
should be a yearly nonconference
game. The
series that was agreed to
was a two-year deal, but
hopefully the powers that
be can make this yearly.
Sure, one can say that a
number of people came to
see the new renovations or
Miss Mac being honored,
but the Booster Club had
such a demand of interested

who could be a part of the

People were buying tickets
in four or more.
