North Shore School District 112 

Superintendent proposes $83M nine-school plan for 112 

Stephanie Kim 

Freelance Reporter 

North Shore District 

112 Superintendent Michael 

Lubelfeld updated 

the school board on his 

$83 million long-range facilities 

plan Tuesday night, 

saying it’s probably the 

best-laid plan they’ve ever 

seen. 

His most recent proposal 

calls for major renovations 

at the district’s two 

middle schools and Red 

Oak Elementary School 

within a four-year period, 

along with ongoing repairs 

at the remaining K-5 

schools costing $3 million 

per year. 

Under the plan, Red Oak 

would re-open and merge 

with Sherwood Elementary 

School in the fall of 

2020, while Northwood 

Junior High School would 

re-open in December 2020 

and Edgewood Middle 

School in the fall of 2021. 

The renovations would 

cost between $15 and $20 

million at Red Oak, at least 

$30 million at Northwood 

and up to $40 million at 

Edgewood. 

Additionally, the Green 

Bay Early Childhood Center, 

which Lubelfeld and 

his committee had previously 

planned to shut 

down, would remain open 

and eventually relocate 

to the Red Oak property, 

which has nearly 19 acres 

of land, he said. 

“We could impact more 

than 50 percent of our students 

in a four-year period 

with the money we have, 

or that you would allow 

us to get, without a tax increase,” 

Lubelfeld said at 

the Oct. 2 regular school 

board meeting. “What 

a significant impact for 

nearly 2,000 students with 

this plan.” 

Lubelfeld noted the updated 

plan is a result of 

monthslong work with a 

committee of administrators, 

teachers, district architects 

and community 

members since his start as 

superintendent in July. 

Though the current 

plant supports the district’s 

overall mission of providing 

“equitable access to 

educational opportunities” 

to every student, Lubelfeld 

said the district still needs 

between $48 and $55 million 

to address needs that 

the board hasn’t been able 

to fulfill for the past two 

decades. 

Such needs haven’t 

gone away since he started 

working for the district in 

1997, he added. 

“So let’s make no mistake 

… we’ve been down 

these roads,” Lubelfeld 

said. 

Lubelfeld will present 

revised recommendations 

at the next regular board

While board members 

commended Lubelfeld 

and his committee for 

their efforts, their shared 

concerns about district 

boundaries, particularly 

when it comes to the matriculation 

of the two middle 

schools. 

Edgewood would have 

an option area of about 

900 students while Northwood 

would have less 

than 500, according to estimates 

included in the revised 

updated draft of the 

nine-school plan shared 

Tuesday. 

“And my concern is that 

while what’s in the facility 

and the quality of the 

facility may be upgraded 

equally, this balance creates 

a greater imbalance 

that we currently have 

today as we start to move 

dual language to both middle 

schools,” board vice 

president Adam Kornblatt 

said. 

Board member Alexander 

Brunk agreed, further 

emphasizing the importance 

of district boundaries. 

“There is probably no 

single other issue that I see 

as a representative of this 

community, that people 

will have an issue here, 

and that’s the size difference 

of the two middle 

schools,” Brunk said. 

Lubelfeld noted district 

architects and engineers 

would address such concerns, 

and more, by providing 

additional details 

and information to board 

members Oct. 4 and 9 before 

the vote approaches.

Through days of drizzling 

rain and grey clouds, 

Highwood lit up the night 

sky with tens of thousands 

of jack-o’-lanterns at the 

ninth annual Great Highwood 

Pumpkin Festival, 

the grandest of the off-kilter 

events in the city meant 

to bring people together 

for a good cause. 

Around 16,000 jack-o’- 

lanterns sitting on multilevel 

scaffolding framed 

the streets of the festival, 

as tens of thousands of visitors 

enjoyed four stages 

of live music, traversed the 

mini-midway with carnival 

rides and had their fair 

share of local restaurants 

to choose from. 

The all-day weekend 

festival, put on by the nonprofit 

Celebrate Highwood 

organization, originated 

in 2010 with the intent 

of breaking the Guinness 

World Record for the most 

lit jack-o’-lanterns displayed 

in one location. 

Since its beginnings, 

money raised from the 

Great Highwood Pumpkin 

Fest has gone to charitable 

organizations, and in recent 

years all proceeds 

have gone to Make-A- 

Wish Illinois, Ilyse Strongin, 

PR Coordinator for 

Celebrate Highwood, said. 

This year’s festival, 

along with the week of 

festivities precluding the 

event, brought in anywhere 

from 70,000 to 90,000 attendees 

from across the region, 

she said, and had the 

goal of raising $120,000 

for Make-A-Wish. 

In recent years the focus 

of the festival has shifted 

Nina Martinez, 4, of Highwood, smiles as she carves 

her pumpkin at Celebrate Highwood’s Pumpkin Fest, 

Friday, Oct. 5. Claire Esker/22nd Century Media 

away from going after the 

record and towards improving 

the quality and 

experience of the week, 

Falberg said. However, he 

said they plan to go back 

to their roots of going for 

the record next year for the 

tenth annual festival. 

In addition to Celebrate 

Highwood’s work towards 

improving the overall 

quality of the week of activities, 

the festival has 

become about supporting 

Make-A-Wish Illinois and 

the Wish families who 

travel to the event, Highwood 

Mayor Charlie Pecaro 

said. 

“Originally it started 

out with bringing people 

to the city, and breaking 

the Guinness World 

Record,” he said. “Then 

all of a sudden you meet 

some of these Make-A- 

Wish families and how 

it touches their lives and 

changes their views, their 

future views, [because] 

now there is a future and it 

makes you work that much 

harder.” 

Many Make-A-Wish 

children and their families 

now travel for the event in 

order to see other Make- 

A-Wish families, Strongin 

said. 

In addition, Make-A- 

Wish children and their 

families are honored each 

night of the festival during 

the lighting of the pumpkins. 

“Every night we have a 

Wish family, and the child 

gets up there and tells their 

story,” she said. “Tonight 

they get to turn the lights 

off in the city, and the walls 

light up. [It will] be the big 

one where we’ll actually 

hand out candles and the 

families will light the lower 

pumpkins with the kids. 

It’s just the most moving 

thing in the world.” 

Celebrate Highwood has 

built a reputation for its 

quirky festivals, including 

Bloody Mary Fest, Garlic 

Fest and Inferno Fest. 

Falberg said he hopes the 

most recent addition, the 

country-music themed- 

Nashwood, can become 

akin to a South-by-Southwest 

for country music in 

the Midwest. 

He said he is still waiting 

for inspiration for what 

novel festival they could 

try next. 

“They kind of come in 

the middle of the night,” 

he said.

HP dance studio adds new teachers 

Deuce 

Submitted by PAWS Chicago 

Deuce is a one-year-old Hound mix

just as smart as he is handsome. He 

enjoys eating from puzzle feeders to 

keep his mind stimulated and loves long walks. He 

is the perfect outdoor dog and he’s looking for a 

family that will share his passion for being outside 

and soaking up the sun. 

Deuce, along with many dogs and cats, is available 

for adoption at the PAWS Chicago North Shore

Erin Yarnall, Editor 

Sole 2 Soul, a dance 

academy based in Highland 

Park, is welcoming 

new faces to its staff lineup 

this fall. 

The academy is welcoming 

three professional 

dancers to their teaching 

staff. 

Diane Cheeseman 

trained at the Kirov Academy 

of Ballet in Washington 

D.C., and taught at the 

Joffrey Ballet in Chicago. 

She will be teaching lyrical, 

ballet tech and contemporary 

ballet classes. 

Taylor Craver performed 

with Alluvion 

Dance Chicago and Visceral 

Dance Chicago, and 

will be teaching lyrical, 

ballet tech and contemporary 

ballet classes as well. 

Julianne Dietz trained 

at the Kirov Academy, as 

well as the Joffrey Ballet 

School in New York City. 

She will be teaching ballet 

tech, acro and preschool 

classes at the dance studio. 

“I have brought in extremely 

talented, amazing 

instructors to complement 

the already strong programs 

we have in other 

areas of dance,” Debbie 

Kramer, the owner of Sole 

2 Soul said. 

Kramer said the new 

teachers are not only professionally-trained 

dancers, 

but have the ability to 

teach, as well. 

“One of the things that’s 

always been brought to my 

attention with teaching, is 

some people have the credentials, 

but do they really 

know how to interact and 

teach?” Kramer said. “All 

of these teachers, and my 

new teachers, they truly 

know how to care about the 

child, and how to bring out 

the best in each child, along 

with teaching them strong 

basics and technique.” 

While the hip-hop program 

at Sole 2 Soul has always 

been strong, Kramer 

hopes that enlisting the 

new teachers will contribute 

to more interest in the 

academy’s lyrical and ballet 

programs. 

“As far as dance, because 

we also have very 

strong hip-hop teachers 

and a very strong hip-hop 

program, a lot of children 

nowadays, they just want 

to do the hip hop and do 

the ‘fun’ aspect of dance,” 

Kramer said. 

She hopes that the programs 

will get students 

more involved in ballet 

and ballet tech — which 

require a “strong foundation” 

before being able to 

move on to other levels, 

according to Kramer. 

Being a strong technical 

dancer is important when 

it comes to competitions, 

and Kramer believes the 

new teachers will improve 

the academy’s results in 

competition. 

“They are going to bring 

another level of credence 

to the technical aspect of 

our program, which is so 

important,” Kramer said. 

“It’s so important in the 

community. It’s so important 

when you want to 

compete, and when you 

go into the competition 

teams and the competition 

world.”

Two plans considered 

to repair beach bluff; 

community’s help sought 

for fundraising 

Earlier this summer on 

June 27, a bluff failure 

occurred at Forest Park 

Beach adjacent to the 

North Beach Access Road, 

and the Lake Forest City 

Council is tasked with approving 

a project to fix the 

bluff. 

The Lake Forest City 

Council tabled a decision 

on the Forest Park Bluff 

Failure Project during its 

Monday, Oct. 1 meeting 

and will continue its discussion 

on the matter at its 

next meeting on Monday, 

Oct. 15. 

The City Council is deciding 

between two design 

options 1A and 3A. Option 

1A (bluff re-grading) 

includes removal of 17 

tableland trees and is estimated 

to cost approximately 

$970,000. Option 

3A (re-routing the road) 

has no loss of tableland 

trees and is estimated to 

cost $1,985,000. 

The majority of the 

council prefers Option 

3A but needs resident donations 

before moving 

forward with that option 

because the price tag is 

approximately $1 million 

more than Option 1A. So 

far, $100,000 has been 

raised, and the fundraising 

goal is $500,000. 

“The City is fundamentally 

in a position where it 

cannot afford Option 3A 

all by itself,” said Mayor 

Rob Lansing. “We should 

give the fundraising effort 

of $500,000 a chance.” 

Aldermen Jed Morris 

and Prue Beidler are leading 

the charge in the fundraising 

effort.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Two school-shooting 

threats found at Glenbrook 

North 

A second threatening 

message was reported 

to officials at Glenbrook 

North High School the 

morning of Thursday, Oct. 

4, according to an email 

sent out from GBN principal 

Dr. John Finan. 

At approximately 9:30 

a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, 

students reported seeing 

the statement “Stay out of 

school 10 4” carved into 

the seat of a desk, according 

to the email. Below the 

statement, an image of a 

handgun was etched into 

the desk. 

GBN administration immediately 

reported the incident 

to the Northbrook 

Police Department. 

“We are continuing our 

investigation of this message 

and the message reported 

yesterday,” Finan 

says in the email. 

The threat comes just 

one day after a Glenbrook 

North student reportedly 

found a school-shooting 

threat written on the top of 

a classroom desk Wednesday, 

Oct. 3. 

According to the email, 

the threat yesterday read 

“Shooting 10 03.” 

“We will continue to 

screen students and all 

visitors as they enter the 

school and will continue 

to communicate with you 

as more is known,” Finan 

says. “The Northbrook Police 

will have a continued 

presence on and around 

campus throughout the afternoon 

and evening.”

Lori’s Shoes selling signature shoe to help ALS 

HP shoe store 

raises money for 

personal reasons 


Business owner Lori 

Andre is literally taking a 

step toward fighting amyotrophic 

lateral sclerosis 

(ALS), a nervous system 

disease that weakens muscles 

and impacts physical 

function. 

The owner of Lori’s 

Shoes in Highland Park, 

Northfield and the Lincoln 

Park neighborhood in Chicago 

is selling a signature 

shoe in all of its retail locations, 

in which all of the 

net proceeds go toward 

benefitting the Les Turner 

ALS Foundation. 

“Right now it will be 

available specifically on 

our site, and in our stores, 

but our hopes is that we’ll 

be able to sell it in other retail 

locations,” Andre said. 

She has a personal reason 

for fundraising to support 

ALS organizations 

— two years ago, Andre’s 

husband was diagnosed 

with ALS. 

“Receiving a diagnosis 

like that is pretty devastating,” 

Andre said. “It 

is a terminal illness, and 

typically, people who are 

effected with the disease 

die, after diagnosis, within 

three to five years.” 

During a trip to Washington 

D.C., Andre noticed 

her husband, Brian, was 

walking with a limp. 

He had previously noticed 

weakness in his left 

arm, and visited a neurologist 

to see what was 

going on. He was told 

he could have surgery to 

improve it, but decided 

against it. 

After Andre noticed his 

limp, she suggested he visit 

a doctor to get checked 

out, again. 

While visiting a doctor 

at the Rehabilitation 

Institute of Chicago, now 

known as the Shirley Ryan 

AbilityLab, he had en 

EMG done, which measures 

muscle response. 

“That test did not come 

back good,” Andre said. 

The family visited a 

neurologist after that, 

where they received his 

diagnosis. 

“More than anything, 

you go into survival 

mode,” Andre said. “You 

do all the research you 

possibly can to learn and 

educate yourself about the 

disease. 

Instead of giving in, the 

Andre family decided to 

fight the disease. 

They participated in the 

2018 ALS Walk for Life, 

Sept. 29, fundraising more 

than $26,000. 

“It makes me feel good 

that there’s so many people 

that are so supportive 

and so generous in their 

contributions,” Andre said. 

“Knowing that people 

care, they don’t even need 

to make a sizeable contribution 

for that matter, but 

just knowing that people 

care about us is really important.” 

Andre said her husband 

is a “slow progressor.” 

“If you saw him today, 

you probably wouldn’t 

even know that he has the 

disease, because he’s very 

high functioning,” Andre 

said. 

Despite this, the family 

continues to look for ways 

to fundraise to fight the 

disease, including selling 

the Strike Out ALS shoe, 

which retails at Lori’s 

Shoes for $118.95. 

“ALS is a horrible disease, 

however, you want to 

live life to the fullest, and 

you hope that one will die 

with the disease, not from 

the disease,” Andre said. 

“Hopefully they’ll find a 

cure, or at least something 

that can help slow the progression.” 

North Shore Academy teacher under investigation 

Jason Addy 

Contributing Editor 

Glenview police are investigating 

North Shore 

Academy teacher Matthew 

Laird for “alleged internet 

crimes against children,” 

according to an email sent 

to alumni of Loyola Academy, 

where he was formerly 

employed as a teacher, 

Tuesday, Oct. 2. 

The Glenview Police 

Department notified 

school administrators on 

Sept. 19 that Laird, who 

taught English at Loyola 

Academy from 2011 to 

2014, is the subject of a 

criminal investigation, according 

to the email from 

Loyola Academy President 

Patrick McGrath and 

Principal Charles Heintz. 

“As a precaution, we 

want to let you know about 

this open investigation and 

that Loyola is cooperating 

with law enforcement,” 

McGrath and Heintz wrote 

in the email. “We will keep 

you updated as is appropriate. 

It is important to note 

that, at this time, Mr. Laird 

has not been charged with 

any crime.” 

Glenview Police Commander 

David Sostak confirmed 

the ongoing investigation 

Oct. 3, in a short 

statement to reporters. No 

arrest has been made as 

of press time on Monday, 

Oct. 8. 

Laird is currently employed 

as a teacher at 

North Shore Academy in 

Highland Park. The North 

Suburban Special Education 

District has placed 

him on administrative 

leave, according to a statement 

from district superintendent 

Kurt Schneider. 

In the statement, Schneider 

said Laird is not participating 

in the district’s investigation, 

and because of 

that, Schneider is recommending 

his termination 

at the district’s Leadership 

Council meeting Oct. 10. 

“Currently, there is no 

information suggesting 

that any NSSED students 

are involved in this matter,” 

Schneider said in the 

statement. “The police are 

investigating the issue, and 

NSSED will continue to 

cooperate fully and keep 

you updated, as appropriate.” 

Laird also served as a 

scholastic bowl moderator 

at the Loyola Academy 

from 2004 to 2008 and 

from 2010 to 2014, the administrators 

said. He was 

the principal co-founder of 

Aegis Questions, a question-writing 

company that 

operated between 2005 

and 2009, according to a 

Quizbowl Wiki page in his 

name. 

After leaving Loyola 

Academy in 2014, Laird 

joined National Academic 

Quiz Tournaments LLC as 

a question-writer for bowl 

tournaments, NAQT Chief 

Financial Officer Chad 

Kubicek said Wednesday. 

Laird worked for the 

company for about nine 

months, from Sept. 24, 

2014, until the summer of 

2015. He did not have direct 

contact with children 

in his role at NAQT, Kubicek 

said. 

When asked if NAQT 

would notify schools, parents 

or students that participated 

in bowl competitions 

during Laird’s time 

with the company about 

the criminal investigation, 

Kubicek was unclear about 

the company’s next steps. 

“I will put that to the 

people that are in charge 

of that,” Kubicek said, 

declining to comment further. 

Laird served as an assistant 

coach during the 

2016-17 season for the 

quizbowl team at Adlai E. 

Stevenson High School in 

Lincolnshire, according to 

the Quizbowl Wiki page. 

McGrath and Heintz 

encouraged anyone with 

information that could be 

relevant to the investigation 

to contact Glenview 

Police Detective Jamie 

Medina at (847) 901-6145.

North Shore Compassionate Care - Emphasis On Dependability And Quality 

North Shore Compassionate Care is an independent home care agency 

located right here in Highland Park. Their owners, Mike Glickman and 

Steve Wilneff are long time area residents and are also the primary 

case managers. Their community knowledge and involvement, business 

acumen, hands on approach to every case and the significantly higher 

salaries paid to their caregivers makes NSCC the reliable choice for in 

home companion care. 

LIVING AT HOME TRULY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. 

Staying in your home as long as possible is critical to well-being. Your 

home is where you’re most comfortable and safe. The surroundings are 

familiar and reassuring. Moving can be disconcerting, creating a feeling 

of uncertainty and upheaval. You feel displaced and alone at a time 

when you most need the good feelings of your own home. 

With NSCC in-home companion care, you remain as independent as you 

can be. Feeling independent is so important to maintaining a positive 

outlook and the best health possible, especially when the effects of 

aging are taking place. 

As we age or are recovering from an illness, injury or surgery we have a 

need for care or assistance with daily living activities. Without a doubt, 

home is the most comfortable and convenient place to receive that care. 

North Shore Compassionate Care provides home care and companion/ 

homemaker services to seniors and others throughout Chicagoland. 

Our broad choice of service options ranges from hourly care up through 

live in services 24 hours a day. 

EXPERIENCED, COMPASSIONATE AND DEPENDABLE 

CAREGIVERS 

NSCC carefully selects caregivers to provide clients with loving care and 

assistance to make life easier and assure peace of mind. All caregivers 

are interviewed, reference-checked, background-screened, bonded and 

insured prior to placement. Our caregivers are thoroughly trained and 

undergo additional and refresher training on a regular basis. 

Often, family members take over the responsibility of caring for a parent 

or loved one. They can soon discover that this task is extremely difficult 

and not easily manageable when combined with the responsibilities of 

their own family needs or while working full-time. Sometimes, family 

caregivers simply need a break or a day to run errands or address other 

needs. At North Shore Compassionate Care, we are here to help. We 

create a schedule of quality in-home care that fits the needs of your 

family. 

In home care is truly a wonderful option for allowing loved ones to remain 

in the comfort and safety of their own home. Mike and Steve help turn 

that option into reality. They ensure a level of care and attentiveness 

that few can offer. North Shore Compassionate Care is proud to be a 

part of the North Shore community and attends to community needs 

like no other agency.

Accomplishing my goals, one step at a time 

Erin Yarnall 

Editor 

I 

can clearly remember 

the hot tears streaming 

down my face when 

my gym teacher junior 

year of high school, Mr. 

Gedville, told us we had 

to run the mile...again. 

How could he do this to 

us? We were only required 

to run four torturous laps 

around our track once a 

semester, and we had already 

finished our 2 miles 

for the school year. 

My friends and I 

protested. We walked 

the entire mile. It took us 

nearly 20 minutes. 

Eight years later, I just 

ran 26.2 miles. Not even 

for a grade. For fun, I 

guess. 

Even though I’ve 

always hated running, in 

the back of my mind it 

was always something I 

wanted to do. 

If I had done any sports 

in high school (besides 

when my mom forced me 

to play softball against 

my will), it would have 

been cross country, but at 

the same time I was far 

too lazy to ever seriously 

consider doing it. 

But even still, running 

a marathon was always 

a goal I had. An unattainable 

goal that I never 

thought I would accomplish, 

but a goal nonetheless. 

It was near the top of 

my bucket list that I made 

as a morbid 19-year-old. 

I would jealously watch 

as other people completed 

marathons. I always 

wanted to, but I knew I 

never would. I just wasn’t 

a runner. 

That changed a few 

years ago, when I was 

with some friends at my 

house. Out of sheer boredom, 

we decided to just 

start running down my 

street — I made it about 

halfway before I had to 

stop. 

It was so embarrassing 

that I vowed I was going 

to start regularly running 

so that never happened 

again. And I did. I slowly 

was able to build up my 

distance, from halfway 

down my street, to all the 

way around the block, to 

getting a few miles down. 

Eventually, I saw an 

advertisement for a 5K in 

Milwaukee, and I knew 

it was time that I finally 

signed up for a run. 

I ran the Summerfest 

Rock ’n Sole 5K in 2015. 

It took me around 38 minutes. 

My face was bright 

red. I felt like I was going 

to die, but at the same 

time, I felt incredible. I 

had accomplished a huge 

goal in my life. 

Slowly, I continued 

to build up my distance, 

running longer and faster. 

I signed up for 10Ks, 

quarter marathons and I 

decided to sign up for my 

first marathon, because 

if I didn’t sign up and 

start training then, maybe 

I never would — and I 

didn’t want to take that 

chance. 

I ran the New Jersey 

Marathon on April 30, 

2017. It was incredibly 

difficult, but an incredibly 

gratifying run up and

Chicago Marathon. 

down the Jersey Shore — 

from Oceanport to Ocean 

Grove. The months of 

training where I would 

be writhing in pain were 

absolutely worth the incredible 

feeling of accomplishing 

something I once 

thought was impossible. 

Last year, my aunt 

Linda passed away from 

cancer. I was living 

abroad in Colombia when 

it happened, and I felt 

incredibly guilty not being 

home to say goodbye or to 

attend the funeral. I took 

my sadness and placed 

it into trying to help the 

American Cancer Society. 

Two days after she passed 

away, I was signed up and 

a member of the charity’s 

marathon team. At times 

I regretted putting myself 

through the misery of 

marathon training again, 

but I have never regretted 

having the opportunity to 

raise funds for the charity. 

Altogether, I raised more 

than $1,200, with a goal 

of $1,000. 

This marathon was also 

extremely rough. I felt 

like quitting at numerous 

points, but I kept thinking 

about how proud Aunt 

Linda would be of me for 

transforming from a couch 

potato to someone who is 

still a couch potato, but 

also runs marathons. 

In April, I’ll be running 

the 2019 Paris Marathon. 

After that? Who knows. I 

guess I have to start making 

some new goals.

HP Players debut ‘On the Town’ 


“On the Town” is a difficult 

musical to perform, according 

to the cast of the Highland Park 

Players production of it — but 

the community theater group is 

up for the challenge. 

The Highland Park Players are 

debuting their production of the 

Leonard Bernstein musical Oct. 

12, and it runs through Oct. 28 at 

the Northbrook Theatre. 

The musical, which centers 

around three sailors on a 24-hour 

leave during World War II, is 

rarely performed live, because 

there are a lot of difficulties with 

the production of it. 

“It’s a really difficult show,” 

actress Ariana Cappuccitti said. 

Cappuccitti plays Ivy in the musical. 

She believes one of the reasons 

the play is so difficult to 

perform because of the different 

genres, moods and tempos Bernstein 

uses in his music. 

“Musically, we listen to Bernstein’s 

music, and just sit and 

count almost every rehearsal, 

just because he changes the number 

of beats that are in a measure, 

and he changes how fast we go, 

and he changes the feel, so it 

could be this uppity, you’re on 

the town, walking down in New 

York City, and then all of a sudden 

you’re on the subway, which 

is a different feel,” Cappuccitti 

said. 

Actor Aaron Stash, a Northbrook 

resident, said what he 

likes about performing with the 

Highland Park Players is that 

although the musical is difficult 

to perform, the theater company 

isn’t backing down from the performance. 

“What’s exciting about Highland 

Park is they’re on the cutting 

edge of producing quality 

shows with quality talent from 

the area,” Stash said. 

The cast, including Stash, who 

works in environmental sustainability 

for American Airlines, 

and Cappuccitti, an AP psychology 

teacher at John Hersey High 

School in Arlington Heights, is 

comprised of people who love 

to perform, and pursue it as a 

hobby. 

“What I always come back to 

with theater and performing in 

general is it keeps me optimistic 

about what I do during the day, 

to be able to have that artistic 

release and artistic outlet,” Stash 

said. “I know a lot of the individuals 

in the cast feel the same 

way.” 

Stash and Cappuccitti both 

were drawn to “On the Town” 

for different reasons. For Stash, 

it reminded him of the swing 

and jazz music that came back 

into popularity for him while he 

was growing up. In Cappuccitti’s 

case, she thought the choreography 

used in the production is 

“beautiful.” 

“Throughout the entire show, 

our choreograher and her assistant 

just do a wonderful job 

weaving the story through the 

dance,” Cappuccitti said. 

Despite the differences in what 

drew them to “On the Town,” 

director Dina DiCostanzo was 

happy to see her cast come together 

to put on the musical. 

“Working with HPP is like putting 

on a show with great friends. 

In fact, that’s exactly what it is,” 

DiCostanzo said. “I love watching 

people with different jobs 

and backgrounds come together 

to make something special for 

their community.”

13ninety blends modern trends 

with golf-course traditions 

Erin Yarnall 


For four months, Sunset 

Valley golf course in Highland 

Park underwent renovations 

— the course was 

updated, trees were taken 

out, hills were constructed 

and a brand new restaurant, 

13ninety, was added 

to the clubhouse. 

13ninety replaces the 

former food options available 

at the golf course. 

Brian Romes, the director 

of recreation and facilities 

at the Park District of 

Highland Park, said the 

fare at the clubhouse before 

the renovations was 

more akin to food from a 

concession stand. 

“It wasn’t really a destination,” 

Romes said. “It 

served its purpose to have 

food.” 

The Park District is hoping 

that 13ninety will now 

become a destination. 

“When you come to 

golf, but we want you to 

stay for the restaurant,” 

Romes said. 

Romes also said they 

hope the restaurant is appealing 

to more than just 

golfers — and he thinks 

the golf club’s placement 

within a neighborhood will 

help that. 

“We wanted them to feel 

like they’re part of this, 

whether they play golf or 

not,” Romes said. 

Romes and other Park 

District staff adorned the 

restaurant with modern 

touches — from reclaimed 

wood used throughout the 

restaurant, a chalkboard 

behind the bar and walls 

lined with subway tiles. 

Purse hooks and phone 

chargers also line the bar. 

But even with all of the 

renovations and modern 

design techniques used 

13ninety’s Black & Blue burger ($10.25) is a half-pound 

burger served with lettuce, tomato, crumbled pepper 

jack cheese, bacon, avocado, pico de gallo, and is finished 

off with blue cheese. Martin Carlino/22nd Century 

Media 

in the restaurant, the Park 

District wanted to make 

sure that the roots of the 

golf course are on display 

in the restaurant as well. 

Sunset Valley opened as a 

golf course in the 1920s, 

and while designing 

13ninety, the Park District 

took inspiration from the 

Roaring Twenties period. 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors stopped by 

the golf course to sample 

some of the menu items. 

We first tried the Wake- 

Up burrito ($8), which 

is served with scrambled 

eggs, sweet peppers, tomatoes, 

onions and mozzarella. 

Next up was the Black 

& Blue burger ($10.25) — 

a half-pound burger served 

with lettuce, tomato, crumbled 

pepper jack cheese, 

bacon, avocado, pico de 

gallo and finished off with 

blue cheese. 

We also sampled a 

12-ounce ribeye steak 

($24) from the restaurant’s 

dinner menu. The steak 

was topped with grilled 

onions and mushrooms 

and served with two choices 

of a potato, vegetable, 

salad, coleslaw, fruit or

org/13ninety 

fries. The steak also comes 

in 10-ounce ($21) or 

14-ounce ($26) portions. 

13ninety has an extensive 

cocktail menu as well, 

and we sampled its Sunset 

on the Valley ($10) — 

made with rye whiskey, 

lemon juice, orange juice, 

grenadine and topped with 

a cherry garnish. 

We also sampled the Old 

Sport ($10), a “The Great 

Gatsby”-inspired take on 

an Old Fashioned, made 

with whiskey, angostura 

bitters, a sugar cube and 

served with a twist of lemon. 

The food blends the 

modern with the classic 

and helps to achieve the 

goal that the Park District 

of Highland Park has set 

for themselves — creating 

a new, unique dining destination 

within a golf course 

steeped in tradition.

How did you start playing football? 

I started playing football in sixth grade. 

I kind of just did it because I just fit the 

character I guess. 

What is it that you love about the 

sport? 

I think my favorite part is probably the 

friends, it’s been the same group we’ve 

been playing with for the past eight years 

I’ve been with, all the way up to varsity, 

so it’s awesome. 

What is the most challenging part 

of the game? 

Probably losing, dealing with a loss. 

That’s probably it.

Who is the funniest person on the 

team? 

The funniest person on the team is 

probably Kevin Kaufman because Kevin 

is just hilarious. He is who he is and he 

doesn’t let anyone effect how he does 

things. 

What is your most memorable 

moment as a Giant? 

Probably [Friday, Oct. 5]’s touchdown, 

not going to lie, even though we lost. 

What is your favorite movie? 

My favorite movie is the “Sandlot.” Because 

my favorite sport is actually baseball, 

if I wouldn’t be playing football I’d 

be playing baseball. 

Who is your favorite professional 

sports team? 

The Chicago Cubs. 

Who is your favorite professional 

athlete? 

Neil Ament/22nd Century Media 

I would have to say Carl Edwards Jr. 

on the Chicago Cubs. I think he is a great 

pitcher and he doesn’t seem like he would 

be because he’s a really tiny guy but he 

has a lot of heart in him. 

What is one thing people don’t 

know about you? 

I’m a really big car fan. 

What is your dream car? Why? 

I would say probably a Honda NSX. It’s 

a pretty bad [expletive] car. 

Interview by Sports Editor Brittany Kapa

Girls Volleyball 

Sweep over Deerfield gets HP closer to season goal 

Kristen Keller 


The Giants came into 

the season with the goal of 

making a name for themselves. 

Now, they’re in the running 

for the conference 

championship. 

The Giants defeated the 

Warriors of Deerfield in 

two sets Thursday, Oct. 

4, in Highland Park. With 

this win, the senior-heavy 

team is one step closer to 

being named the Central 

Suburban League North 

champions. 

“I like how we played 

tonight,” said Ireland Hieb 

(9 kills, 3 digs, 2 blocks), 

senior outside hitter. “We 

played with trust in each 

other and I think that each 

game we need to play with 

that amount of trust.” 

Although the first set did 

not start off as planned, the 

Giants did not let that stop 

them. After misplaced hits 

and shanked passes, Highland 

Park saw themselves 

at a 5-2 deficit to start the 

match. 

After some back and 

forth play, the Giants were 

two points behind Deerfield 

until senior libero 

Ella Weil (14 digs, 2 aces) 

stepped to the service line. 

From there, she went on a 

14-point serving run, getting 

her team to a score 

of 18-6 before losing the 

serve. 

“Ella is a really consistent 

server,” said Highland 

Park coach Beth Peterson. 

“Any of those plays can 

be game changers for us. 

She kept her serve in and it 

kind of excited the rest of 

the girls, too.” 

Not only was Weil consistent 

with her serve, but 

senior setter Allyson Gordon 

(18 assists, 6 digs) and 

Hieb clicked during the 

set. At one point, Hieb got 

three straight kills off sets 

from Gordon. 

For these two friends, 

that’s a typical night on the 

court. 

“Every time she sets 

me, I know it’s going to 

be good,” Hieb said about 

Gordon. “I trust her.” 

Once Weil’s serving run 

ended, the points went 

back and forth between 

Deerfield and Highland 

Park. From there, the Giants 

finished the match, 

winning 25-15. 

This team did not stop 

there. Going into the second 

set, the Giants picked 

up right where they left 

off. 

With Gordon at the service 

line, the seniors took 

the lead and ran with it. In 

moments where Deerfield 

won a point, a Giant came 

back and scored. Senior 

outside hitter Olivia Carter 

(6 kills, 1 dig, 1 ace) 

proved that, earning four 

of her six kills during the 

second set. 

In this team effort, 

Highland Park took the 

second set 25-11, winning 

the match and getting this 

group of girls closer to the 

conference title. 

“During the first set, we 

decided that we weren’t 

playing like ourselves, we 

needed to play like us,” 

Gordon said. “After that 

serving run, that was our 

volleyball from then on.” 

Now, the team looks 

ahead at the competition 

to come. Before tonight’s 

matchup, the Giants were 

tied with Glenbrook North 

for the Central Suburban 

League North title. 

With five games left in 

the season, Peterson and 

her squad prepare to play 

key conference opponents, 

Highland Park’s Ella Weil lines up her return in a two-set sweep of Deerfield Thursday, Oct. 4, in Highland Park.

including games against 

Glenbrook North and 

Maine West. 

Highland Park has a 

goal for the rest of the season: 

finish. 

“Earlier in the season we 

were in some tight matches 

and we didn’t finish it 

the way we needed to,” 

Peterson said. “The past 

couple of games we really 

worked on, regardless of 

our opponent, finishing every 

point, finishing every 

set, finishing every match 

and not letting them creep 

back in.” 

As the Giants prepare 

for these last five games, 

everyone is on the same 

page. 

“We really need to capitalize,” 

Gordon said. “We 

want to end our senior year 

with a win.” 

Allyson Gordon sets up a teammate for a kill.



Boys Soccer 

Giants fall in shootout of CSL title game 

David Jaffe 


During a penalty kick 

shootout, the goalkeeper 

would seem to be at a disadvantage. 

With almost no time to 

prepare, he must face five 

shots on goal from five 

different players on the 

opposing team. 

So what New Trier 

goalie Jack McGranahan 

did in the net for the Trevians 

during the Central 

Suburban League crossover 

championship game 

was extremely impressive. 

He stopped three of host 

Highland Park’s four penalty 

kick attempts and the 

Trevians won 2-1 Thursday, 

Oct. 4. 

New Trier, champions 

of the CSL South, won the 

shootout 3-1 as Dominic 

De Boer, David Kugler 

and Ryan Ball all made 

penalty kicks while the 

Giants’ lone score on a 

penalty shot came from 

Joe Dart. 

“I was just trying to do 

what I could to take the 

pressure off my teammates 

who were attempting 

penalty shots,” Mc- 

Granahan said. “You have 

to try and watch how they 

turn and line themselves 

up and read the shooter’s 

body shape and try to get 

an indication of what side 

you think they’ll be shooting 

the ball on. I feel like I 

did a good job at that and 

was able to mostly guess 

where the shot would be 

going.” 

That wasn’t the only 

time McGranahan, who 

finished with eight saves, 

shined in the net during 

the game. With things 

even at 1-1, the Giants’ 

Matt Holleman appeared 

he was about to head in 

with nine minutes left in 

the game. But McGranahan 

dove and batted the ball 

away preserving the tie. 

“I was tracking the ball 

across the box and I saw 

him go up for the header,” 

McGranahan said. “I saw 

it traveling to the far post 

and I was able to get over 

and get a hand on it and 

keep it from going in.” 

“Jack showed a lot of 

maturity and leadership in 

the net today,” New Trier 

coach Matt Ravenscraft 

said. “He was locked in 

and when he made that 

save, I think it got him going 

and it carried things 

over for him into how 

he handled the penalty 

kicks.” 

Highland Park got on the 

board extremely quickly 

as Alexis Perez scored less 

than three minutes into the 

game. Though New Trier 

recovered defensively after 

that, it wasn’t until the 

second half that they got 

things going getting more 

aggressive and controlling 

possession. Then Ryan 

Ball tied the game 13 minutes 

into the second half. 

“That was Ryan’s first 

career varsity goal,” 

Ravenscraft said. “He 

showed great patience and 

got a great pass. At halftime, 

I asked the team to 

enjoy themselves. I think 

we were being too negative 

in our body language 

and we weren’t anticipating 

things the way we 

should have and were relying 

on individual work. 

But we showed that we 

can compete with anyone, 

even though this wasn’t 

our best performance.” 

The Trevians will be the 

top seed in their sectional 

and hope they can build 

off of the win heading into 

the playoffs. 

“You hope you can 

win in 80 minutes but 

a shootout can be good 

preparation because you 

don’t know what will happen,” 

Ravenscraft said. 

“It shows how you handle 

yourselves in those type of 

situations. And for today, 

it was a fun way to end it, 

especially if you win.” 

“Hopefully a game like 

this can help build our 

confidence,” McGranahan 

said. “We were definitely 

much better in the second 

half and it was good that 

we went through this because 

we came back from 

a slow start.” 

The Giants, the CSL 

North champions, went 

toe to toe with the Trevians 

and played them evenly. 

They had some chances at 

the end and played strong 

defensively overall. 

“We played well and 

withstood their spurt,” 

Highland Park coach 

Blake Novotny said. 

“With how they started 

the second half, it looked 

like they would have the 

chance to go up 2-1. But 

we turned things around. 

We had a couple of shifts. 

Danny Barragan was playing 

center back and he really 

stepped up. Our keeper 

made some great saves. 

We defended their corner 

kicks well. We knew we 

had to believe we could 

beat them and we didn’t 

back down.” 

And offensively, they 

scored right away and 

had shots in the second 

half that just missed going 

in. 

“We may have scored 

a little too quickly,” Novotny 

said. “After that 

for a while we were kind 

of having to play defense 

more than we would have 

liked. We had some chances 

late in the game. Their

Sports Brief 

Excitement builds for 

memorial hockey game 

The Gina Bronge Memorial 

hockey game 

serves a dual purpose. 

The game not only 

honors a former Falcons 

player, but gives another 

female youth hockey player 

the opportunity for a 

scholarship. 

The Gina Bronge Memorial 

hockey game is set 

to take place Sunday, Oct. 

14 at 2:30 p.m. at Centennial 

Ice Arena in Highland 

Park. Hosted by the 

2017-18 U16 Falcons girls 

championship team, the 

game will be played between 

the Highland Park 

Police and Fire Department 

teams in a heated 

match. 

Raffle tickets will be 

sold before and at the 

game, and the funds for 

the raffle go to the Gina 

Bronge Memorial Fund. 

The mission of the 

Gina Bronge Memorial 

Fund is to award one or 

more yearly scholarships 

to female Falcons, and/ 

or Scouts Hockey players 

demonstrating Gina’s 

similar style of play, leadership, 

love of the game, 

courage and determination. 

The scholarship 

can be used to pay for 

hockey camps or to offset 

season fees. Drawing 

for the raffle will be on 

Oct. 14 at the GBMSF 

game in between the second 

and third period.

arm and got himself into 

the end zone.” 

Beside a two-point conversion 

two seasons ago, 

that was Cortes’s first 

touchdown. The play was 

a blur for the senior. 

“I didn’t even see [the 

ball] go into my hands,” he 

said. “I just was running, 

the ball was in my hands, 

and I was in the end zone. 

That’s all I remember.” 

With just a touchdown 

separating the two teams, 

it was anyone’s game 

heading into the fourth 

quarter. 

“I did feel like it was a 

momentum shift, but again 

they’re a well coached 

team,” Lindquist said. 

“They’re disciplined and 

they came out ready to go 

right after that. We had the 

momentum but it didn’t 

work in our favor because 

I think we continued to 

shoot ourselves in the 

foot.” 

Deerfield put the game 

away for good on its first 

possession of the fourth 

quarter on a four-play 

drive. Nagelbach found a 

wide open Michael Gargiulo 

up field and connected 

on a 30-yard pass that Gargiulo 

ran in for the 90-yard 

touchdown. 

Highland Park couldn’t 

get through Deerfield’s 

defense during its last two 

possessions of the game, 

and suffered their second 

conference loss to the 

team. 

Rooney led the team in 

rushing yards with 72 on 

12 carries, he was also 14- 

of-33 for 173 yards from 

the pocket but threw for 

two interceptions. 

Tom Motzko rushed for 

59 yards on 14 carries with 

his biggest run being 12 

yards. 

Senior offensive and 

defensive lineman Kevin 

Kaufman also stood out 

during the game. Kaufman 

recovered a fumble from 

his own team and gained 

17 yards in the process, as 

Deerfield struggled to pull 

Kaufman down. 

“For Kevin, in that situation, 

to not just dive on 

the ball but to see that he 

might have some room and 

to pick it up that’s just a really 

good football play and 

he’s a very good football 

player,” Lindquist said of 

Kaufman’s play. 

Kaufman also had a sack 

and a three-yard tackle for 

a loss.

Giants fumble through rivalry against Deerfield 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

There were two hurdles 

the Giants couldn’t overcome 

against Deerfield: 

discipline and execution. 

When Highland Park is 

disciplined on the football 

field, it has done some 

great things. When it’s 

not the story can quickly 

shift, and that’s exactly 

what happened in the 

team’s Friday. Oct. 5 loss 

in Deerfield. 

“We had a good game 

plan, coaches always give 

us a good game plan,” said 

Michael Rooney, Highland 

Park’s senior quarterback. 

“They gave us a chance to 

win this game. It’s on us to 

execute. We were down on 

the goal line, red zone situations, 

we didn’t execute – 

bottom line.” 

The Giants Central Suburban 

League North battle 

against Deerfield ended 

in an 18-6 loss. The Warriors 

didn’t make the road 

game easy for the Giants, 

and Deerfield capitalized 

on HP fumbles to solidify 

the win. 

The Warriors (4-3, 3-0) 

led the Giants 3-0 at the 

half, but the start of the 

third quarter defined the 

game for the Giants. 

Highland Park (3-4, 

1-2) fumbled the opening 

second-half kickoff from 

Deerfield and the home 

team recovered the ball at 

Highland Park’s 19-yard 

line. The HP defense provided 

good coverage on 

pass attempts and held the 

Warriors to a gain of only 

three points – a Deerfield 

senior kicker Ara Emerzian 

sailed a 36-yard field 

goal through the uprights. 

Déjà vu was instantaneous 

for Highland Park, 

on the next kick return it 

fumbled the ball again and 

Deerfield recovered on

HP’s 24-yard line. 

This time it only took 

Deerfield two plays to 

reach the end zone. Junior 

quarterback Ryan Nagelbach 

(15-of-29, 212 yards, 

24 rushing yards) found 

Adam Pottinger at the end 

of a 24-yard pass for the 

TD. A third fumble by the 

Giants, on their first drive 

after the next kick return, 

gave the Warriors good 

field position again, this 

time on HP’s 21-yard line, 

but the HP defense held 

and only gave up 9 yards 

until Noa Morgenstern recovered 

a fumble with 8 

minutes, 54 seconds left 

in the third quarter on the 

team’s own 12-yard line. 

The tide looked like it 

would turn in the Giants 

favor after defensive lineman 

Matt Cortes recovered 

a Deerfield fumble 

at the Warriors’s 16-yard 

line, put a stiff arm out and 

reached the end zone for 

the rushing touchdown. 

“That was a huge play,” 

said David Lindquist, 

Highland Park’s coach. 

“That’s a great play for 

him. He deserved that. He 

fights in there really hard 

and he even had to beat 

somebody and got a stiff
