School spirit shines during NSCDS, Loyola homecomings 

Megan Bernard, Editor 

North Shore Country 

Day School and Loyola 

Academy celebrated homecoming 

week from Sept. 

24-28 in Winnetka and 

Wilmette, respectively. 

Homecoming weekend 

kicked off with a pep rally 

on Friday, Sept. 28, in 

NSCDS’ Mac Gym. 

The weekend was a big 

draw at NSCDS, welcoming 

all to attend Family 

Fun Fest Saturday, Sept. 

29. The fest featured carnival 

games, inflatables, 

food trucks and other activities. 

NSCDS also held the 

Raider Review, where 

alumni, parents of alumni 

and former faculty gathered 

in the auditorium for 

the Francis R. Stanton ’27 

presentation to Susie Brew 

Schreiber ’58. 

North Shore Country Day alumna Mullery Doar (Class of 2006), who is now the 

associate director of admissions, a health teacher and head field hockey coach, 

rolled into last place in the scooter races at the NSCDS homecoming pep rally Friday, 

Sept. 28, in Winnetka. Photos Submitted 

At Loyola, there were 

different spirit days and 

activities planned throughout 

the week and a tailgate 

before the homecoming 

football game Saturday. 

For Sept. 27’s “Day on the Water” theme, Loyola 

students dressed in their nautical best and favorite 

boating attire while enjoying water games and a dunk 

tank on the quad. 

North Shore Country Day freshman Jibraan Ghazi, 

representing the boys soccer team, won the pie-eating 

contest.

homecoming pep rally. PHOTOS BY Gerri Fernandez/22nd 

Century Media 

Seniors Lily Nicolaides and Aaron Schatz hold up “Get 

Loud” signs during the Class Karaoke. 

New Trier students celebrated 

Homecoming 2018 

with an out-of-the-world 

week of festivities, culminating 

in lively pep rallies 

held on Friday, Sept. 28, 

embracing this year’s outer 

space theme. 

Activities coordinator 

Stacy Kolack explained 

how daily events were 

created with the goal of 

building Trevian pride and 

enhancing the sense of 

community that already exists 

within the student body. 

“Spirit and pride are certainly 

not lacking at New 

Trier — a great many of 

our students take tremendous 

pride in their participation 

in our diverse academic 

offerings and robust 

extracurricular programs,” 

Kolack said. “The goal for 

the week’s events and the 

pep [rallies were] similar 

— to offer another kind of 

experience in which students 

and staff may come 

together to celebrate that 

same spirit and pride across 

grade levels, peer groups 

and social circles.” 

During the week, students 

enjoyed dressing to 

reflect a different theme 

each day. First there was 

Comfy Day, then Twinning 

Day, Tie Dye Day and lastly, 

Meme Day. 

On the final day, during 

the pep rallies at both 

campuses, each school 

was filled with excitement 

as students poured into the 

gyms. The rallies was created 

by the Student Activities 

Department with the 

partnership with Pep Club, 

Green Team, Tri-ship, 

Dance Team, Cheerleading 

Team, NT Drumline, 

Student Alliance, Girls 

Club and student leaders in 

the Activities Leadership 

Practicum Seminar classes. 

At Winnetka, senior Olivia 

Zaban, of Northfield, a 

member of the Green Team, 

helped plan the rally, happy 

to create an event that united 

all, particularly because 

the event recently made a 

return to the homecoming 

agenda only last year, after 

a prolonged hiatus. 

“This is the second year 

that we’ve had a pep rally 

since I’ve been a student 

and it’s just an all-around 

great way to build school 

spirit and become connected 

with one another,” 

Zaban said. 

Emcee services were 

provided by social studies 

teacher and Pep Club head 

sponsor Chris Van Den 

Berg, along with student 

leaders in Pep Club and 

Green Team. During the 

event, there were opportunities 

for each grade to out 

karaoke one another and 

participate in an entertaining 

game of bubble soccer 

provided by Wicked Ball 

Chicago. Student leaders 

— dressed in astronaut or 

alien garb — helped lead 

the ceremony. 

New Trier cheerleaders 

enhanced Trevian pride 

with impressive flips and 

by leading the crowd in the 

school’s fight song, getting 

everyone ready for the 

Friday night football game 

against Evanston and the 

big homecoming dance the 

following night.

Winnetka Park Board 

Replacement approved for $48.3K lawn maintenance equipment 

Todd Marver 


The Winnetka Park 

District Board approved 

a mowing equipment replacement 

at its Thursday, 

Sept. 27 meeting. 

The board unanimously 

approved the purchase of a 

new 2018 Toro Reel Master 

3555-D mower from 

Reinders Company, of Sussex, 

Wisc., for a net price of 

$48,281. Golf course staff 

has identified the need to 

replace the 2001 Toro Reel 

Master 5400-D. This piece 

of equipment has served 

the golf course for about 17 

years. 

“That unit is up for replacement 

and has been 

deferred a few times now,” 

Superintendent of Parks 

Costa Kutulas said. 

Executive Director John 

Muno explained that there 

were numerous deferments 

for replacements in the past 

due to the golf course being 

subsidized and as a result, 

replacements at the golf 

course are likely to continue 

at a high level for the 

next year or two. 

“In the old days when 

the golf course was getting 

subsidized is one of the 

reasons I feel like we’ve 

deferred a lot of capital 

vehicle fleet replacements 

for the golf course,” Muno 

said. “So you’ve supported 

disproportionate amounts 

of vehicle replacements 

specifically for the golf 

course and I think you’re 

going to see that trend for 

the next year or two.” 

Kutulas added the 2001 

Toro Reel Master 5400-D 

was one of the first pieces 

of equipment he got when 

he started as a parks operation 

supervisor with the 

Park District 17 years ago. 

“When I started as a mechanic, 

this was one of the 

pieces I worked on and it 

was actually one of the first 

pieces I bought new when I 

started here and it’s gone a 

good test of time,” he said. 

Park Board President 

Mickey Archambault concurred 

that it’s time to replace 

this piece of mowing 

equipment after all its years 

of use. 

“I’m going to approve 

this because I know its 

age,” he said. “It’s not an 

even cut. It’s an old piece 

of equipment.” 

The 2001 Toro Reel Master 

5400-D that the Park 

District is replacing was 

included as a needed replacement 

through the longrange 

plan approved in the 

2018 budget (capitals). This 

machine is currently being 

used as the mower that 

maintains all the fairways 

on both the championship 

course and the par-3 course. 

Golf course staff determined 

the Toro Reel Master 3555- 

D to be the best replacement 

option. 

“The new unit that we’re 

looking to replace it with 

is a lighter, more versatile 

unit with just as much productivity,” 

Kutulas said. 

“The fact is that they can 

get out there and mow on 

heavy rain days the next 

morning versus having to 

wait or potentially rut the 

fairways.” 

Reinders Company submitted 

a quote via the National 

Intergovernmental 

Purchasing Alliance for a 

Toro Reel Master 3555-D 

Mower with the gross delivered 

price of $48,781. 

The trade-in allowance 

is $500 for a net price of 

$48,281.95. The budget 

amount for this item is 

$40,000, so the price came 

in $8,281 over budget. 

“The budget was 40 and 

the proposal is 48,” Commissioner 

Warren James 

said. “That’s a pretty big 

miss.” 

However, Muno said that 

despite this line item coming 

in over budget, the golf 

course capital budget as a 

whole is under budget. 

“The golf course will be 

under budget capital wise,” 

he said. 

In the memo in the board 

packet, Golf Course Superintendent 

Matt McCann 

said staff feels that the 

trade-in allowance given for 

the 17-year-old machine is a 

fair price. The National IPA 

is a cooperative purchasing 

organization serving national, 

state, county, city and local 

governmental agencies. 

Winnetka Park District is 

registered with the National 

IPA. McCann said in the 

memo in the board packet 

that by purchasing through 

the National IPA, this will 

allow staff to order the unit 

at a greater cost savings to 

the district and not have to 

go through the formal bid 

process. 

The Winnetka Public Schools District 36 school board 

Survey: Participants show 88 percent in favor of investing in schools 

Andrew Carroll 


The results of a weeklong 

telephone survey shed 

light on where the community 

stands on investing 

more money into improving 

District 36 schools and 

a one-year project for new 

learning spaces. 

Paul Fallon, of Fallon 

Research and Communications 

Inc., conducted a survey 

with community members 

about D36 schools to 

gauge their willingness to 

see their schools improved 

by possibly investing more 

money in updates and upgrades 

as part of the Educational 

Master Facility Plan. 

Examples of this would include 

improving safety and 

security, accessibility for 

those with disabilities, and 

HVAC temperature control 

systems. 

“We want to a common 

understanding of what the 

data tells us,” Superintendent 

Trisha Kocanda said. 

Through various detailed 

questions — such as 

opinions on the quality of 

education at the district’s 

school, which 92 percent of 

participants said was excellent 

— Fallon was able to 

give the School Board data 

regarding community opinions 

on investing more into 

their schools. 

“There’s a willingness to 

see money invested in money 

invested in the schools,” 

Fallon said in regard to 88 

percent of participants that 

said they would be interested 

in doing so. 

The survey sampled parents 

with children in school 

but also contained community 

members of a wide 

range of demographics 

based on sex, race, age and 

whether or not the participants 

were parents. However, 

some board members 

were concerned that the 

data did not provide a big 

picture of how willing the 

community at large would 

be to invest in their schools. 

“I’m not sure what exactly 

we’re learning here,” 

Board member Matthew 

Hulsizer said. “We have 

three choices: A. Do nothing; 

B. Cut taxes at the expense 

of our schools; or C. 

Raise taxes at the expense 

of the community.” 

Later in the meeting, 

D35 staff members Maureen 

Chertow Miller and 

Barry Rodgers addressed 

the board about the prototype 

classrooms or “learning 

spaces” that seek to 

change form, function and 

flexibility. 

The learning spaces 

project partnered with 

businesses, such as Meln, 

Norval Nival, DLR and 

VS America Furniture, to 

create new learning spaces 

meant to optimize elementary 

student learning. The 

learning spaces bring modern 

classroom design to 

D36’s schools with new ergonomic 

chairs and desks, 

as well as room layout, 

which aim to make interactive 

classroom participation 

easier. 

Orchestra teacher concerns 

This month’s D36 

School Board meeting 

also allowed parents to express 

their concerns about 

the new orchestra teacher 

at Carleton Washburne 

School during the public 

comments section of the 

meeting. 

Two parents said they 

were concerned about the 

“evident lack” of stringed 

instrument experience the 

new orchestra teacher has 

due to her choral singing 

background. 

“The new orchestra 

teacher at Washburne must 

be moved out of the position,” 

said Martha Gillam, 

the mother of two students 

at Washburne. “The new 

teacher does not have the 

skills for the job. ... The 

new teacher does not play 

a stringed instrument. Further, 

she does not know the 

vocabulary of strings to 

teach to the children.” 

According to the two parents, 

the new teacher allegedly 

sings notes to the children 

as an example of what 

to play rather than playing 

it for them on a stringed instrument, 

which would not 

convey proper technique or 

bow position, they said. 

The parents urged the 

board to seek a more qualified 

replacement. 

“Our teachers are absolutely 

qualified and equally 

supported to meet the goals 

of our curriculum and 

programming,” Superintendent 

Kocanda told The 

Current after the meeting. 

“We encourage all personal 

concerns to be addressed 

via the district’s problemsolving 

process.”

John Gately III, of Winnetka, 

entered a plea of not 

guilty to the August murder 

of his brother-in-law 

and attempting to kill his 

sister, plus dozens of other 

charges, in court on Sept. 

25. 

Gately, 66, a New Trier 

graduate, 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 on Aug. 13. 

On Sept. 14, he was indicted 

on 80 total charges 

for the murder and attempted 

murder, plus 

home invasion, residential 

burglary, aggravated discharge 

of a firearm and 

aggravated unlawful restraint, 

among others, according 

to the case docket 

at the Circuit Court of 

Cook County. 

Preceding in front of 

Judge Michael J. Hood, 

Gately, wearing glasses 

and tan Department of 

Corrections scrubs, was 

arraigned and agreed that 

if he fails to appear, a trial 

will in his absence can be 

held. 

This is Gately’s fourth 

appearance in court. Details 

of the Northfield murder 

were disclosed at his 

Aug. 16 bonding hearing, 

where he was denied bail. 

At his second hearing, 

his Chicago-based attorney 

Michael J. Petro withdrew 

from the case after 

Gately was “indigent,” 

Petro previously told The 

Winnetka Current. 

Most recently, Gately — 

now represented by public 

defender David McMahon 

— was ordered to specimen 

collection for indictment. 

McMahon has not 

appeared in court yet, as 

Elizabeth Tarzia, the attorney 

supervisor from the 

public defender’s office, 

has substituted in for him. 

Gately will return to 

court for continuance at 

9:30 a.m. Oct. 15.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette student charged 

with 3 felony counts 

from firearms, explosives 

incident 

A Wilmette Junior High 

School student at the center 

of a Sept. 16 incident in 

which a concerned parent 

contacted the Wilmette Police 

Department after discovering 

loaded firearms 

in the child’s bedroom has 

been charged with three 

felony counts and one misdemeanor. 

According to press release 

from Thursday, 

Sept. 27, the juvenile was 

charged with two felony 

counts of unlawful use of 

a weapon for possession 

of a handgun; one felony 

count of unlawful use of a 

weapon for possession of 

handgun ammunition; and 

one misdemeanor account 

of unlawful use of a firearm 

under 18. 

The juvenile was transferred 

to Cook County 

Juvenile Detention and a 

hearing date is pending. 

Ray Lechner, superintendent 

of Wilmette District 

39, said in a letter sent 

out to parents Thursday afternoon, 

“It is with a heavy 

heart that I share with you 

an update I just received 

from our police chief. … 

The news is truly heartbreaking.” 

Lechner went on to say, 

“We continue to remind 

students to share important 

information they may see 

or hear. We are continuing 

the review of our safety 

practices and will be reporting 

on the results in 

the near future.” 

Later in the letter, Lechner 

added, “Our community 

has understandably been 

shaken by the incident, but 

please remember to this is 

an incredibly difficult time 

for the family.” 

On Sept. 16, a concerned 

parent of the student contacted 

the Wilmette Police 

after discovering loaded 

firearms in the child’s bedroom.

It’s safe to say that it all 

turned out OK. 

Mack went on to become 

a football college 

star for the University 

of Buffalo of the Mid- 

American Conference and 

then an NFL superstar for 

Oakland for four seasons 

before being traded to the 

Bears on Sept. 1 and immediately 

signing a sixyear, 

$141 million contract 

extension that made 

the 27-year-old linebacker 

the highest paid defensive 

player in history. 

After signing he joked 

about buying a new home, 

telling Adam Hoge, of 

WGN Radio: “I’m trying 

to get on the phone with 

my financial advisor to figure 

out what I can afford.” 

Mack’s search for a 

house brought him to Glencoe. 

Using a land trust, he 

spent $3.75 million to purchase 

a 9,300 square-foot 

newly-built mansion on 

a half-acre lot in the east 

Glencoe neighborhood. It 

was first reported by Chicago 

Tribune’s Elite Street 

real estate section. 

The two-story mansion 

went under contract on 

Sept. 10 and closing was 

on Sept. 14. When it went 

on the market in July, the 

asking price was $3,925 

million.

Mack was represented by

Getting on board a 

unique member car 

Vintage Car 553 

provides ‘pleasant 

environment’ 

David Sweet 


As the single-level 

green-and-yellow train 

car stops at stations across 

the North Shore, residents 

might wonder: Why is it 

completely different in 

size and appearance from 

standard Metra cars? 

Car 553 is the only operating 

membership commuter 

car on the rails in the 

United States. Unlike other 

Metra cars, this vintage 

passenger version features 

dozens of comfortable arm 

chairs that face each other 

to promote conversation, 

especially on the evening 

trip home. Memorabilia 

— framed photos of old 

steam engines, magazine 

covers, lists of original 

members — grace the 

walls. Tables are available 

in the back for members to 

place their laptops upon to 

get work done. 

“It’s a great way to be 

productive in a pleasant 

environment, and you get 

to talk with a number of 

interesting people,” said 

Devon Bruce, who volunteers 

as the head of the car. 

“It’s really a game-changer 

for a lot of us.” 

In 2017, a $100,000 

refurbishment brought a 

new refrigerator and the 

original green-and-yellow 

Chicago and Northwestern 

colors to the exterior 

that set it apart from all of 

the other silver-dominant 

Metra cars. Since Metra 

announcements of impending 

stations cannot be 

Making stops in Winnetka, Car 553 is the only operating 

membership commuter car on the rails in the United 

States. Photo Submitted 

heard on the private car, 

members can enjoy uninterrupted 

conversations 

and a drink on the way 

home — but they need 

to check their watches or 

iPhones, lest they end up 

in Kenosha. 

Car 553 arrives into 

Ogilvie Station at 8:02 a.m. 

and then leaves Ogilvie 

at 5:35 p.m. It stops both 

going into and out of Chicago 

at most North Shore 

towns, including Lake 

Bluff, Lake Forest, Fort 

Sheridan, Highland Park, 

Glencoe and Winnetka. It 

is the last car on the way 

into the city and the first 

one on the way out. Members 

stroll aboard; there is 

never a crowd waiting for 

the doors to open. 

From stops such as Lake 

Forest, the price is $750 

per quarter. From Winnetka 

and nearby stops, the 

price is $450 a quarter. The 

charge also covers any use 

by family members and 

friends, which can come in 

handy for members whose 

children procure summer 

internships downtown. 

Members must also purchase 

a Metra ticket and 

are required to show it on 

the private car. Though the 

majority of members are 

male, females are more 

than welcome. When a 

non-member strolls in, unclear 

that it’s a private car, 

he or she is told that it is 

and welcomed to continue 

the ride there. 

Car 553 appeared on the 

rails in the late 1940s and 

succeeded the Deerpath, 

whose original members 

include Fields, Swifts and 

other titans of Chicago industry 

who lived in Lake 

Forest. It once featured a 

barber chair, and bridge 

games among members 

were frequent in past decades.

for membership

Let pumpkin spice season commence 

Megan Bernard 

megan@glencoeanchor.com 

Well, well, well. 

Here we are — 

the first issue of 

October. That means it is 

officially fall! 

I hope you’ve been 

enjoying the recent cool 

weather and the change 

in the color of leaves in 

Winnetka and Northfield. 

I know I have been. 

I have to admit: I am 

the type of person who 

always looks forward to 

this particular change in 

seasons. I love the break 

in hot and humid weather, 

trips to the apple orchard 

and pumpkin patch, 

Halloween decorations, 

and the start of everything 

pumpkin-flavored 

and scented. (If I could 

sprinkle pumpkin spice 

on everything, I probably 

would. No shame in that.) 

Fall community events 

are also something I love 

to get out to during this 

time. I thought I’d round 

up some local happenings 

this month so you can also 

get into the spirit: 

Pumpkins in the 

Woods — Hubbard Woods 

Park will be transformed 

into a pumpkin patch for 

the family to enjoy before 

Halloween from 4-6 p.m. 

Oct. 19. The event will include 

pumpkin decorating, 

carnival games, bounce 

houses, a DJ, costume 

contest and more. Costume 

contest registration will 

begin at 4:30 p.m. and 

winners will be announced 

around 5:30 p.m. 

Haunted Trail of Winnetka

Try to not get trapped inside 

Davey Jones’ Locker 

as you and your friends attempt 

to escape the terrors 

on the beach and inside 

the boat house.

a jagged mouth, for a scary 

pumpkin. Over the years, 

carvers have gone outside 

the box, or pumpkin in this 

case, to make increasingly 

artistic jack-o’lanterns. 

With that sentiment, The 

Winnetka Current is kicking 

off its annual Great 

Pumpkin Contest. The 

Current is calling for your 

best and most creative autumn 

art sculpted into your 

jack-o’-lanterns. 

There is no limit to what 

your pumpkin can be. The 

only restriction is that the 

carver of the pumpkin 

must reside in Winnetka 

and Northfield and the 

pumpkin must be decorated 

this year. 

To accommodate those 

who save pumpkin-carving 

festivities for All Hallow’s 

Eve, the deadline for 

the photos is noon Friday, 

Nov. 2. You have another 

four weeks to buy your 

pumpkin, come up with 

your creatively creepy 

composition, take a picture 

and send it in to The 

Current. 

Include your first and 

last name, as well as a 

phone number and address. 

The winner will 

receive a spooky surprise 

from a local retailer and 

the creation will be printed 

in the Thursday, Nov. 8 issue 

of The Current.

‘We were unstoppable’ 

New Trier students 

compete in ComEd 

IceBox Derby 

Alexa Burnell 


Four, smart, savvy, 

STEM-loving young 

women on the North Shore 

who recently participated 

in ComEd’s female-only 

IceBox Derby, turned 

broken-down refrigerators 

into fully functioning, 

go-karts, using their skills, 

their smarts and each other 

to get the job done. 

The fifth annual ComEd 

IceBox Derby Race was 

held in August at The 

Daley Plaza after four 

weeks of preparation. The 

program is designed to 

provide STEM (science, 

technology, engineering 

and math) opportunities 

for girls in grades 7-12 in 

the Chicago area. 

This year, ComEd received 

more than 200 applicants, 

but selected only 

30 girls including New 

Trier junior Amanda Neslund, 

New Trier freshman 

Maryanne Xu, Wilmette’s 

Annabel Ma and Glencoe’s 

Kaila Chin. 

Applicants are selected 

based on the following 

criteria: Understanding of 

STEM principals, appropriateness 

of response related 

to promotion theme, 

creativity/originality and 

quality of entry. 

Xu said she was thrilled 

when she discovered she 

was selected, crediting her 

involvement with Science 

Olympiad and an extracurricular 

math team for giving 

her a leg up. 

“It was like receiving 

a letter stating that I got 

accepted into my top col- 

Amanda Neslund, a New Trier junior, driving her fridge 

at the ComEd IceBox Derby. Photo Submitted 

lege,” Xu said. “My dad 

even took a video of it. I 

was really excited when I 

found out, and the experience 

didn’t disappoint. 

“For me, the most valuable 

lesson I learned is the 

importance of teamwork 

and collaboration. At some 

points, my group realized 

we were repeating steps 

because we were so busy 

working, but not communicating 

the steps we had 

already completed. Once 

we navigated this obstacle, 

we were unstoppable and 

pulled together to win second 

place in the second 

heat of the race.” 

Similarly, Chin too, 

found communication with 

her female counterparts to 

be critical — a skill she has 

developed over the years 

in her Girl Scout troop led 

by her mother Susan Chin 

and co-leader Pam Kleinmann, 

of Glencoe. 

“My experience with Girl 

Scouts has prepared me for 

the future by encouraging 

me to be who I want to be. 

During the IceBox Derby, 

I met many new friends 

and intelligent mentors. I 

learned about the wiring of 

a car and how it all fits together. 

Also, I learned what 

tools to use for various situations, 

and I learned more 

about different STEM stars 

of our past,” Chin said. 

“Some challenges we faced 

revolved around the order 

in which we addressed the 

project. For example, we 

accidentally began screwing 

something into the car, 

before noticing we missed 

a crucial first step. But, 

once we caught the mistake, 

we problem solved, 

worked together, shared 

ideas and completed the 

task. I couldn’t have done 

this without my groupmates; 

we learned from one 

another.” 

Ma too credits teamwork 

and collaboration

From Page 23 

for her group’s success. 

For her, the moment their 

refrigerator turned into a 

fully-functioning, driving 

machine was thrilling, 

made only sweeter by her 

group winning their entire 

heat and being interviewed 

on ABC7 news. 

“I was lucky and got 

placed into a great group. 

It was challenging at first; 

there were some things I 

didn’t know, simply due to 

lack of exposure, but other 

girls in my group had a 

strong engineering background 

and were able to 

teach those who did not,” 

she said. “We worked so 

well together and were able 

to teach each other new 

things. For me, learning 

about wiring was very interesting; 

when the whole 

thing came together, it was 

very rewarding to see what 

we accomplished.” 

Throughout the process, 

the groups were mentored 

by ComEd professionals 

who left a lasting impression 

on Neslund. 

“With the guidance that 

the mentors provided, 

there wasn’t a single thing 

we couldn’t do. For me, the 

experience reinforced how 

vital it is that young women 

get involved in STEM, 

because currently, women 

only comprise 26% of the 

STEM workforce while 

they make up 50 percent 

of the general workforce,” 

Neslund said. “Our world 

already has so many problems 

ahead such as climate 

change, overpopulation, 

food shortages, lack 

of access to water/food, 

and more. STEM is the 

solution to tackling these 

challenges and we need as 

many people, especially 

women, to help solve them 

with compassion.” 

“My advice to any other 

girl considering STEM related 

interests is, ‘Go for 

it,’” Ma added.

space for the sake of uniting 

leaders in the wellness 

industry, while providing 

a one-stop shop for clients 

looking to fine-tune their 

physical or mental wellbeing. 

From yoga, fitness 

and nutrition to providing 

emotional support for 

empty-nesters, divorcees, 

teen girls, men and more, 

the principals at The Well 

North Shore, are confident 

that the professionals 

they have vetted, will give 

sound, credible guidance, 

all under one roof. 

So, who are these folks 

running the shop? Managing 

the day-to-day operations, 

marketing and public 

relations are wellness-loving 

Wilmette couple Craig 

and Cindy Dooley, who are 

joined by fellow Wilmette 

resident and holistic family 

nurse practitioner, Angela 

Thomas. From Northfield, 

Kate Neal offers her 

career counseling skills, 

while Winnetka’s Aileen 

Baxter provides Career & 

Life Transition coaching. 

Together, these head honchos 

have combined their 

passions and skills in wellness, 

giving North Shore 

residents the opportunity to 

keep calm and carry on. 

“Creating The Well was 

several years in the making,” 

Cindy Dooley said. 

“We had really big dreams 

from the beginning, which 

needed to be scaled back 

a bit. Ultimately, when the 

five of us combined our 

passions for wellness, the 

plan came together, allowing 

us to open the doors this 

past January. Since then, 

business has been wonderful; 

we are thrilled with 

the outcome. Knowing we 

have created a space for 

people to take a break from 

their busy, overscheduled 

lives, while learning how 

to live more authentically 

is the true reward.” 

For Neal, The Well is a 

dream come true, because 

of the variety of programming 

offered all under one 

roof, giving professionals 

a chance to share resources 

and provide the best care 

for those who seek guidance. 

“There are so many wellness 

professionals who 

provide fantastic services, 

but not everyone has the 

interest or need to have 

their own brick and mortar 

space. The Well provides 

this opportunity, by offering 

a community space that 

can be used by the hour, 

day, or week” Neal said. 

“Since starting The Well, 

I’ve met amazing people 

who offer a spectrum of 

services. It’s wonderful to 

be able to provide a venue 

that allows these talented 

wellness professionals to 

offer their services, and to 

provide a wellness space 

that allows us all to be our 

best selves. 

“It is a dream come true 

to see this take root in 

our community, and we 

look forward to see it continue 

to flourish in a variety 

of ways.” 

The types of programs 

offered at The Well are vast 

and varied. For example, 

folks can participate in 

workshops such as, “Eating 

the Elephant, One Bite at 

Time,” focusing on productivity, 

or “Practice the Art 

of Presence — A Circle of 

Women,” a monthly group 

that teaches women how to 

live more authentically, and 

in the moment. 

For men, a group led by 

Craig Dooley called, “The 

Tribe” helps men redefine 

masculinity in today’s 

modern world. Teen girls 

too can benefit from a program 

called “The Dragon- 

Fly Movement” a full-day 

teen retreat, helping young 

women ages 14 and older, 

build self-awareness and 

self-acceptance. 

Another popular class 

taught by Thomas called 

Mindfulness Based Stress 

reduction, helps overscheduled, 

overstressed individuals, 

decompress. 

“The benefits of and 

interest in Mindfulness 

practices have exploded 

for good reason, including 

but not limited to the fact 

that we now have research 

Winnetka residents chair black-tie gala

and science to prove its effectiveness,” 

Thomas said. 

“Maybe even more importantly, 

those that have 

chosen to include Mindfulness 

practices or live more 

Mindfully share that they 

have a better quality of life 

and even a greater sense of 

peace.” 

For Baxter, above all, she 

hopes that The Well will 

provide a haven for those 

needing to take control of 

their mental and physical 

health, in a compassionate 

community surrounded by 

qualified professionals and 

a caring clientele. 

“Mental and physical 

health issues have become 

an epidemic in our current 

society,” Baxter said, “The 

Well provides a sanctuary 

where people can come 

to nourish themselves in a 

more holistic way, and as a 

result, share their light and 

positive energy with others 

in their community and ultimately 

the world.”

and generous spirit, the 

children we serve have a 

better future,” said Nancy 

Ronquillo, president and 

CEO of Children’s Home 

& Aid.

Meg’s Cafe rolls out 

healthy fall dinner menu

GET THE BESTPRICES 

OF THE YEAR NOW!

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT ENDS NOV.16 

While temperatures fall 

this time of year and we 

warm up with sweet and 

savory comfort foods, 

Meg’s Cafe is here to provide 

healthy, hearty options. 

The downtown Glencoe 

establishment rolled out 

its new dinner menu on 

Sept. 25 at 317 Park Ave. 

The menu boasts some 

of the cafe’s staples plus 

four new plates, including 

butternut squash lasagna, 

lemon garlic zoodles, Parmesan 

pesto and baked ratatouille. 

Owner Barbara Lepman 

said she got the menu inspiration 

from something 

simple — eating out with 

her daughter, Meg, whom 

the restaurant is named after. 

“We have a lot of glutenfree 

customers so I wanted 

to do that and pick something 

light,” Lepman said 

of the menu. 

Lepman worked with her 

kitchen staff for months to 

create and perfect the new 

dishes, she added. 

“Everything is made 

[in-house], except for 

our bread, and we use the 

healthiest ingredients that 

we can,” Lepman said. 

22nd Century Media 

editors tried out some of 

the new dishes for ourselves 

last week. Each dish 

comes with a salad with a 

choice of house or Caesar 

dressing. 

The butternut squash 

lasagna ($19) became a 

quick favorite in our newsroom. 

It was baked perfectly 

with the squash inbetween 

the several layers 

of soft pasta. 

Lemon garlic zoodles 

The Parmesan pesto ($17), a colorful entree, based 

with rigatoni and topped with sauteed asparagus and 

sun-dried tomatoes, is a new item on the menu at Meg’s 

Cafe. Michael Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media 

Meg’s Cafe 

317 Park Ave., Glencoe 

10 a.m.-8 p.m. 

Monday-Friday 

9:30 a.m.-8 p.m. 

Saturday 

Closed Sunday 

(847) 835-2620 

($15) — noodles made 

from zucchini — were 

paired with sauteed red 

peppers, spinach and cherry 

tomatoes. This glutenfree 

dish was a healthy, 

shameless spin on a heavy 

plate of pasta, which can 

rack up carbohydrates. 

The Parmesan pesto 

($17), a colorful entree, 

was based with rigatoni 

and topped with sauteed 

asparagus and sun-dried 

tomatoes. 

Lastly, the baked ratatouille 

($14) was a packedfull 

dish with red peppers, 

onions, eggplant, zucchini, 

mushrooms and mozzarella 

cheese. 

All of the healthy dishes 

disappeared quickly between 

our staff, so it’s no 

wonder why this menu 

would be popular in a time 

when heavy comfort food 

is tempting. 

Also, on the dinner 

menu are: small bites, tacos, 

burgers, seafood entrees 

and salads. 

Throughout the next 

several weeks, Lepman 

said the new dishes will 

also be tweaked from customers’ 

feedback. 

Lepman tries to put out 

a new dinner menu every 

year since every season 

would be too overwhelming, 

she added. These new 

dishes are available through 

Apple A Day Catering, as 

well, which Meg’s Cafe 

also owns and operates. 

Apple A Day Catering 

began 34 years ago. At that 

time, the cafe was small 

and only carry-out. When 

the business moved to its 

current location, they expanded 

the cafe operation 

into what it is now. 

Reservations are recommended 

for dinner, 

which runs from 4-8 p.m. 

Tuesday-Saturday. There 

are also several tables that 

accommodate walk-in customers.

kicked a 36-yard field goal 

with 53 seconds to play 

in the first half but late in 

the third quarter the Broncos 

answered with a 36- 

yard touchdown pass from 

Brazziel to Nate Muersch, 

moving the visitors to within 

three points. 

Van Zelst’s 23-yard field 

goal widened the Ramblers’ 

lead to 27-20 with 

9:36 remaining in the contest 

and this time Montini’s 

response was an 81-yard 

drive finished by Brazziel’s 

3-yard touchdown pass to 

Muersch followed by his 

pass to Matthew Ross for 

the game-winning twopoint 

conversion. 

The Ramblers’ ensuing 

counterattack was halted 

at the Montini 36-yard line 

with 2:07 to play. When 

the Broncos took possession 

they continued their 

domineering play and the 

game ended with them on 

Loyola’s 8-yard line.

The North Shore Country 

Day School golfer is a senior 

on the girls golf team. 

When did you start 

playing golf and why? 

I started playing golf in 

sixth grade, but I started 

consistently playing in my 

sophomore year of high 

school. I started playing because 

my mom signed me 

up for a golf camp and she 

thought it would be a good 

sport for me, so I went to 

the camp and enjoyed it 

and continued to play. 

What’s your favorite 

part about golf? 

My favorite thing about 

golf is how peaceful and 

relaxing it is when you 

are playing. The weather 

is usually perfect, and you 

can have a good time on 

the course if you are by 

yourself or with friends. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a 

match? 

I have to swing my 

driver, seven iron and 

eight iron before the match 

starts because if I don’t, I 

feel like I will play bad no 

matter what. I don’t need 

to hit any balls, but I have 

to swing those three clubs. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

If I could play another 

sport outside of golf and 

basketball, I think it would 

be volleyball because I enjoy 

watching it and it looks 

so fun and exciting. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

NSCDS (athletics or 

otherwise)? 

One of my favorite moments 

at NSCDS is starting 

the first girl’s golf team it 

is something I would never 

forget, and I will always be 

proud of. I hope it continues 

long after I graduate. 

What’s the best part 

about being a NSCDS 

athlete? 

The best part about being 

an NSCDS athlete has 

to be the people I have met 

if I were not an athlete I 

would not have met some 

of the people I have grown 

to be close with through 

my high school journey. 

At NSCDS, sports help 

you to become apart of the 

community, and you get to 

know people in the grades 

above and below you. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

The best advice I have 

PHOTO SUBMITTED 

ever gotten was, “Always 

strive to do your best and do 

not be afraid to speak your 

mind and be different.” 

What’s your favorite 

restaurant and what 

do you get there? 

My favorite restaurant 

is Ain’t She Sweet Cafe, 

and I always get the Jerk 

Salmon Wrap and a small 

Tropical Breezer. 

What’s your guilty 

pressure? 

My guilty pleasure is all 

things sweet especially ice 

cream and brownies. 

If you won a million 

dollars, what would 

you do with it? 

If I won a million dollars, 

I would invest it into my 

future. I want to be a psychiatrist 

so I could save it 

and open my practice with 

the money after I get my 

degree, or I would also use 

half of it to pay for college 

and the other half I would 

put into stocks and invest 

into a company or an idea.

Montini second-half comeback stuns Loyola 

Neil Milbert 


After five trips to the 

Class 8A State Championship 

game in the last 

seven years who would 

have thought Loyola Academy 

would be fighting for 

its playoff life with three 

games left in the regular 

season? 

Matters took another turn 

for the worse on Sept. 29 at 

Hoerster Field when the 

Ramblers were unable to 

hold the three touchdown 

lead they held with 61 seconds 

elapsed in the second 

quarter and lost to undefeated 

Montini 28-27. 

“When you don’t have 

playmakers making plays, 

people just have to play 

better all-around,” lamented 

coach John Holecek said 

after the Ramblers’ record 

fell to 3-3 overall and 0-2 in 

the Catholic League’s Blue 

Division. 

“We’ve had a lot of good 

seasons and a lot of good 

luck. This is not one of 

them. This year has been 

one of unfortunate injuries 

and all of our luck has been 

terrible.” 

In stark contrast, Montini 

(6-0, 2-0) is having an awesome 

season. The Broncos 

averaged 44 points-pergame 

in their four outings 

while limiting the opposition 

to a single field goal. 

At the outset of this 

game, the Broncos appeared 

to be out of their element. 

Coming on strong, 

the Ramblers took the lead 

with 9 minutes,12 seconds 

elapsed when they 

smeared quarterback Robert 

Brazziel in the end zone, 

forcing a fumble that lineman 

Ed Eastman recovered

2. Jack Fallon, QB – 6-of-21 passing for 72 yards, 81

3. Nate Van Zelst – The sophomore kicker converted three

for the touchdown. 

The next time the Ramblers 

had the football they 

drove 80 yards in 12 plays 

for their second touchdown 

that came on a 5-yard run 

by Trevor Cabanban with 

64 seconds remaining in 

the opening quarter. 

The second quarter got 

off to a terrible start for 

the Broncos and they again 

were pushed back to their 

1-yard line. They managed 

to get out of that predicament 

but were forced to 

punt when they faced a 

fourth-and-15 situation at 

the 15. 

Jared Lombardi fielded 

the bouncing punt at the 

Montini 40 and took it to 

the end zone. Nate Van 

Zelst kicked his third extra 

point and the Ramblers 

were propped on a 21-0

It appeared they were going 

to do to Montini what 

Montini had been doing to 

its other opponents. 

That assumption proved 

to be an illusion. Eleven 

seconds after Lombardi 

scored on the punt return, 

Nicholas Fedanzo caught 

the kickoff inches in front 

of the goal line and returned 

it 99 yards for a touchdown.

Penelope Tir, New Trier take CSL South championship 

Gary Larsen 


New Trier has had some 

great players in the 43-year 

history of girls’ golf in Illinois, 

so Trevians coach 

Scott Fricke uttered one 

bold statement when asked 

about senior Penelope Tir. 

“I’d say she’s probably 

the best golfer in the history 

of New Trier,” Fricke 

said. “She’s had an unbelievable 

career. 

“Her scores have been 

unbelievable and she has 

won every tournament 

she’s played in this year. 

You might not see it on the 

outside or from talking to 

her, but she’s a competitor. 

She competes hard and she 

has an unbelievable work 

ethic.” 

Tir placed sixth downstate 

as a freshman, fourth 

as a sophomore, and was 

Illinois’ individual state 

champion as a junior. She 

became New Trier’s first 

individual state champion 

since Alexis Wooster won 

the state crown during the 

2000-01 school year, and 

could become the first 

player in program history 

to finish in the state’s top 

10 for four seasons. 

Tir shot a 144 at last 

year’s state finals in leading 

New Trier to its seventh 

team state title. Not 

bad for someone who 

wasn’t even sure she’d 

golf in high school. 

“I wanted to play soccer 

when I was younger,” 

Tir said. “But I made golf 

my individual/team sport 

and I’ve been able to play 

it for four years with my 

friends.” 

Tir shot a 73 as the low 

golfer at this year’s Central 

Suburban League tournament, 

held at the Wilmette 

Golf Club on Wednesday, 

Sept. 26. The Trevians 

shot a tournament-low 318 

in capturing the CSL South 

team title. 

Abbie Kaestle (79), 

Audrey Tir (80) and Olivia 

Siebert (86) rounded 

out the Trevians’ top four 

scoring finishers, followed 

by Lizzie Kenter (88) and 

Moly Van Gorp (90). 

Tir was glad her team 

had to deal with a hard 

day of putting in Wilmette, 

where the greens played 

like glass, since this year’s 

Class 2A regional will take 

place at the Glencoe Country 

Club. 

“The greens were really 

tricky today,” Tir said. “It 

was good practice, though, 

because I know Glencoe is 

also a tough course with 

tricky greens, too. I’m 

crossing my fingers that 

we get downstate and if we 

do, the greens are tough 

there, too.” 

New Trier is annually one 

of Illinois’ top teams and this 

year the Trevians have worn 

a particularly big target on 

their backs, as a defending 

state champion team led by 

a defending individual state 

champion golfer. 

Fricke knows repeating 

as team champions will be 

tough and said “we’re just 

trying to play our best golf 

at the right time.” 

For Tir, the home stretch 

of her final high school 

season could see her become 

the most decorated 

golfer in program history. 

Six girls in Illinois history 

have won back-to-back individual 

state titles since 

1975, and Tir would love 

to be the seventh. 

However the season 

shakes out, Tir is just glad 

she chose golf over soccer. 

“Me, Lizzie (Kenter) 

and Abbie (Kaestle) have 

been together on varsity 

since we were freshmen 

and we’re very close,” Tir 

said. “I’m going to miss it. 

“Today I played with 

(Glenbrook South’s) Hanna 

(Tanaka) and we’ve 

know each other for like 

six years. So my senior 

year has been a cool experience, 

to see how far 

we’ve all come.”

New Trier seniors help take down Loyola 

David Jaffe 


The New Trier doubles 

team of Emily Dale and 

Lily Bhote haven’t played 

together for very long. 

But in the short amount 

of time they have played 

together, they’ve had a 

very good rapport. 

They faced a very tough 

test Thursday, September 

27 in Loyola Academy’s 

Lizzy Witkowski, a state 

qualifier, and Catherine 

Power and from watching 

them play, it looked like 

they had been playing together 

for years. 

Dale and Bhote took No. 

1 doubles 6-3, 6-0 and on 

senior night, where all the 

Trevians doubles teams 

were seniors, New Trier 

made the most of the night 

sweeping the Ramblers 

8-0. 

Trevians 

From Page 38 

that ended when Quadre 

Nicholson fought his way 

across the goal line from 

one yard out on fourth 

down. Ben Tarpey then 

threw to Michael Axelrood 

for the two-point conversion. 

With 3 minutes, 29 seconds 

on the clock, the 

Wildkits were in a position 

to win the game if they got 

another touchdown followed 

by a two-point conversion. 

They tried to get the ball 

on an onside kick but the 

Trevians’ Michael Endre 

latched onto the football at 

the New Trier 43-yard line. 

Perkins ran for three yards 

and then Ochsenhirt gained 

three, creating a third-andfour 

situation. 

“We made a lot of first 

serves,” Dale said. “We did 

a good job poaching the 

ball at the net. We played 

well at the baseline.” 

“We had a lot of overhead 

shots,” Bhote said. 

“They lobbed the ball at 

us a lot so we were able to 

take advantage of that. We 

had a plan and did a good 

job sticking with it.” 

The two feel they share 

some similarities in style 

and it’s gotten them comfortable 

playing together 

in a short amount of time. 

“We’ve only played together 

a couple of weeks,” 

Bhote said. “Having said 

that, we have played a 

lot of matches together 

in a short period of time. 

We’re both very aggressive 

and play very consistently. 

We also keep a lot 

of positivity around each 

other during matches 

Again, Ochsenhirt came 

through in the clutch, collaborating 

with McNeely 

on a 31-yard pass play for 

a first down at the Evanston 

20. A holding call against 

the Trevians after the catch 

sent the ball back to the 40 

but it remained first down, 

enabling Ochsenhirt to run 

out the clock with three 

carries. 

In winning the thrilling 

homecoming game on their 

West campus, the Trevians 

resurrected memories of 

yesteryear when there were 

two New Triers — East and 

West — because they were 

wearing blue uniforms instead 

of their trademark 

green. 

“West wore blue,” Doll 

explained. “It’s special. I 

wanted them to wear blue 

on homecoming because of 

the historical component.” 

which is something that 

benefits both of us.” 

And on senior night, 

both players appreciated 

just how much playing for 

New Trier has given them 

a different outlook on tennis. 

“The friendships I’ve 

made are what will stand 

out the most,” Bhote said. 

“Even though it’s a very 

individual sport when 

you’re on the court, you 

see the team come together 

in practice and form a camaraderie.” 

“I love the aspect of 

when you’re watching 

your teammates play and 

cheering them on,” Dale 

said. “On the other side, 

when you’re in the middle 

of a match and you hear 

your team cheering you, 

it’s a great feeling. It’s 

definitely a different mindset 

from USTA where it’s 

all individual. This teaches 

you to be a part of something 

bigger than yourself.” 

New Trier rolled 

through every match as 

Emma Bhote won No. 1 

singles while Emily Rhee 

won No. 2 singles. 

In doubles, Claire Gottreich 

and Carly Schreier 

won No. 2, Alexis Woodrick 

and Olivia Zaban 

won No. 3. Darcie Kim 

and Maddie Martin won 

No. 4 while Cece McNeely 

and Beth Canel won No. 

5. Mia Keegan and Anna 

Fellman won the closest 

match of the day at No. 6, 

6-2, 6-4. 

The day didn’t go how 

the Ramblers and coach 

Tom Gordon was hoping 

it would go. But he knows 

Loyola will have to learn 

from this and get more accustomed 

to playing big 

matches. 

“We have a lot of work 

to do. This is one of the 

teams we’ll see in our sectional,” 

Gordon said. “We 

did some good stuff today. 

I was especially proud of 

our six doubles team (Kiera 

Silk and Molly Magner). 

But we have to get 

used to playing in big time 

matches. There were a lot 

of people here, more than 

is necessarily at a typical 

regular season meet. So 

we may have gotten tight.

We’ll have to use it as a 

learning experience as far 

as how we need to play 

against good teams.” 

Still, Gordon has high 

expectations for his top 

singles and doubles teams. 

“Katherine Beard, our 

one singles, had a tough 

match today but she’s been 

playing really well,” Gordon 

said. “She beat Stevenson’s 

top singles player 

last week at Prospect and 

also beat a girl from Latin 

that was a 1A state doubles 

champion. And then 

our one doubles of Lizzy 

Witkowski and Catherine 

Power are players to keep 

your eye on. They just ran 

into a buzzsaw today. But 

those our are top contenders 

to make it to state.”



Trevians celebrate homecoming with rivalry win 

Neil Milbert 


Ask Brian Doll about 

senior wide receiver/defensive 

back Carson Kosanovich 

and the New Trier coach 

will tell you: “he makes big 

plays in key situations.” 

“One game I’m talking 

about how great he is offensively; 

next game I’m 

talking about how great he 

is defensively,” Doll continued. 

“Tonight he got the momentum 

going in our favor 

and that got us some confidence. 

That set the tone for 

the game.” 

Doll’s words came in the 

aftermath of the Trevians’ 

hard-earned 35-28 homecoming 

victory over an 

Evanston team that didn’t 

know when to quit. 

“That’s the best Evanston 

team I’ve seen in a long 

time,” Doll said. “They 

have weapons everywhere 

and a 350-pounder (Quentin 

Ivory) on the right side 

of their line.” 

“They never gave up,” 

said wide receiver/defensive 

back Sean McNeeley. 

“We just perservered.”

EVANSTON 6 0 6 16 28 

NEW TRIER 14 7 0 14 35 

Top Performers 

1. Carson Kosanovich, DB/WR – 2 interceptions, 20-yard 

INT TD 

2. Brian Sizter, RB – 72-yard touchdown reception, 14- 

yard rushing touchdown. 

3. Donovan Perkins, RB – The running back scored on a 

52-yard run 

went into the Friday, Sept. 

26 struggle with 4-1 overall 

records, while New Trier 

was 1-0 in conference play 

after a win over Niles West 

last week, but Evanston 0-1 

after a loss to Maine South. 

Kosanovich’s big plays 

were three in number and 

they all came on defense in 

the first quarter. 

He opened the scoring 

with an interception runback 

from about 20 yards 

out on a third-and-12 situation 

at the Wildkits’ 9-yard 

line. He picked off a pass 

when Evanston tried for a 

two-point conversion after 

scoring its first TD with 52 

seconds to play in the quarter. 

And his interception at 

the Evanston 32 on the last 

play of the quarter instigated 

the Trevians’ drive for 

their third touchdown. 

The most conspicuous 

contributors on offense 

were quarterback Carson 

Ochsenhirt and running 

backs Brian Sitzer and 

Donovan Perkins, both of 

whom had spent time on 

the injured list during the 

first half of the season. 

“Ochsenhirt is an exciting 

quarterback to watch,” 

Doll said. “This was a rivalry 

game and he stepped 

up big. Playing lacrosse has 

helped him a lot. 

“Brian got hurt in the first 

quarter of the Loyola game 

and didn’t come back until 

he played about a quarter 

last week. Tonight we were

touchdown to go ahead 7-0 Friday, Sept. 28, in Northfield. Scott Margolin/22nd 

Century Media 

leaning on him a lot, as a 

ballcarrier and on defense, 

and he looked great. 

“Donovan has come 

back from an ankle injury. 

It’s healed now and we 

were able to use him on offense 

a little bit more. He 

was one of the guys we 

were able to use both ways 

effectively in ways that we 

hadn’t before tonight. On 

his touchdown there was a 

fast kid chasing him but the 

kid couldn’t catch him.” 

Ochsenhirt connected 

with Sitzer on a 72-yard 

touchdown pass play in the 

first quarter and scored on 

a 9-yard run in the second 

quarter. 

“Initially, I was looking 

to the other side,” Ochsenhirt 

said of the pass that 

Sitzer pulled down along 

the left sideline and kept 

going before slanting to the 

middle of the field to break 

tackles en route to the end 

zone. 

“Brian popped open and 

I just threw it.” 

In the fourth quarter, Perkins 

broke away for a 52- 

yard scoring run and Sitzer 

took the ball to the end 

zone from 14 yards out for 

the touchdown that came 

after the Wildkits cut their 

deficit to 28-20 with 8:31 

remaining. 

Prefacing Sitzer’s TD 

was a trick play in a third 

down and long yardage 

situation from the Evanston 

41—a tackle eligible 

reception by Duke Olges of 

Ochsenhirt’s pass that put 

the ball on the 14. 

Undaunted by the 

derring-do of Olges and 

Sitzer, Evanston made another 

comeback. Gerrard 

Lamour returned the kickoff 

to the New Trier 47 to 

begin a touchdown drive

New Trier came into 

its Sept. 26 match with 

Glenbrook South looking 

to continue its unbeaten 

streak in Central Suburban 

League South play. 

The Trevians, coming 

off of a victory over Niles 

West, looked to upend the 

visitors, who themselves 

came in after winning 

their last two conferences 

matches. 

It was the home team 

who took care of business 

though, beating the Titans 

25-18, 25-14. 

“Our girls played well, 

which I think is good because 

we needed to see 

ourselves play a little more 

tight than we have been 

lately,” New Trier coach 

Hannah Hsieh said. “It’s 

a big game to go into the 

Game of the Week: 

• Highland Park (3-3) at Deerfield (3-3) 

Other matchups: 

• Lake Forest (3-3) hosts Zion-Benton (3-3) 

• New Trier (5-1) at Niles North (1-5) 

• Loyola Academy (3-3) at De La Salle (4-2) 

• Glenbrook North (4-2) at Maine East (0-6) 

• Maine West (5-1) hosts Vernon Hills (2-4) 

• Glenbrook South (2-4) hosts Maine South (5-1) 

Mother McAuley tournament 

this weekend. It’s a 

good game to push us into 

the big arena.” 

Glenbrook South coach 

Kelly Dorn had one word 

to describe her team’s performance. 

“Inconsistent,” she said. 

The youthful Titans — 

two-third of the roster is 

made of sophomores or 

juniors — hung tough with 

the Trevians (13-1) in the 

first set, at one point getting 

the lead down to 12- 

11 thanks to a Kate Gregory 

ace, but an experienced 

Trevians squad eventually 

forced the Titans into multiple 

errors, while getting 

timely kills, to eventually 

close out the set with 

a seven-point win. 

The Trevians put on a 

hitting display in the first 

set, committing only two 

hitting, compared to 14 

30-12

The second set looked 

like it would be all Titans, 

as they opened up an 

11-7 lead, one that caused 

Hsieh to call a timeout and 

regroup her squad. 

What she said seemed to 

resonate with her team, as 

the Trevians closed out the 

set, and the match, on an 

18-3 run, sweeping their 

rivals from Glenview. 

“We talked about we’re 

not going to let up on second 

games because we 

have been,” Hsieh said. 

“We needed to play like 

we did in the first set and
