Winnetka Park District’s annual fest kicks off fall 

Alexa Burnell 

Freelance Reporter 

Families were given 

the perfect opportunity to 

embrace the cool, crisp 

autumn air that graced the 

North Shore on Sept. 29, 

by celebrating the season 

at the Winnetka Park District’s 

annual Fall Fest held 

at Duke Child’s Field. 

The long-standing tradition 

is one that has many 

layers, uniting various departments 

across the Park 

District, while providing 

some seasonal family 

fun. The event followed 

Bike Winnetka, an event 

that took riders of all ages 

through scenic Winnetka 

in a group rider format. 

“One of the most 

unique aspects of this 

event is that it is a true 

team effort from the Park 

District,” said Toby Ross, 

general recreation supervisor. 

“For many of our 

events, the planning and 

executing is solely the 

responsibility of the recreation 

department. The 

same, however, is not true 

for Fall Fest; it’s a true 

collaboration between the 

ice, golf, tennis and parks 

department, all who play 

a vital role to ensure the 

event goes off without a 

hitch. These departments 

plan activities, lend a 

helping hand and jump in 

where needed, proving to 

be true team players.” 

Winnetka Ice Arena’s 

figure skating manager 

Christine Condon manned 

her booth, enjoying the 

opportunity to tell residents 

about programming, 

while encouraging kids 

to play a round or two of 

stick hockey. 

“We have so many wonderful 

programs going on 

within the ice department, 

so this is a wonderful 

way to tell our visitors 

Liam Plumpton sits in a tractor seat for a photo. 

all about them,” Condon 

said. “Plus, it’s so nice 

to watch all the kids run 

from one activity to another, 

simply having fun 

in their hometown.” 

If fun for kids was one 

of the goals, then the mission 

was surely accomplished 

according to Wilmette’s 

Catherine Salvi, 

a sixth-grade student at 

Highcrest Middle School. 

“There is so much to 

do here,” she said. “Some 

of my friends came today 

too, and I’m most enjoying 

the chance to hang 

out with them, win prizes, 

listen to music, and also 

check out some of the 

cool trucks that are here 

today. My friend and I just 

got to take a photo in one 

of the bucket trucks; that 

was really cool.” 

The trucks that Salvi referred 

to were graciously 

brought by the Winnetka 

Public Works Department 

and the Village of Winnetka 

and police and fire 

departments, too. 

In addition, there were 

opportunities for face 

painting, bounce houses, 

games, prizes, pumpkin 

rolling and so much more. 

New this year was the 

very popular pony riding 

section and live petting 

zoo, filled with piglets, 

ducks, sheep and goats. 

Through it all, Accrodazzle 

Entertainment played 

music and got little ones 

dancing. 

While kiddie fun surely 

was the focus, the Park 

District didn’t forget 

about mom and dad, nor 

did Baird & Warner, sponsoring 

the beer tent. 

Real estate broker Kristen 

Goodfellow, who 

is also a mom herself 

and Winnetka resident, 

manned the kiddie baggo 

game, handing out one 

prize after another, happy 

to support an event near 

and dear to her heart. 

“My family and I just 

love this event, so what 

better way to show our admiration 

than by supporting 

the beer and wine tent 

for all of our adult attendees, 

while providing fun 

games for the kids,” Goodfellow 

said. “We at Baird 

and Warner are thrilled to 

be here; watching all these 

kids have fun while parents 

socialize and enjoy 

the event, makes us proud 

to be part of it all.” 

For new-to-Winnetka 

families, like the Cashmans, 

the event was just 

one more reason to love 

their new hometown. 

“We couldn’t be more 

impressed with what the 

Park District offers kids 

and families,” Deborah 

Cashman said. “[We] try 

to take advantage of it 

all, so that we can meet as 

many people as possible.”

Women’s Exchange celebration becomes first zero-waste WCH event 

Organization 

marks 35 years in 

Winnetka 

Christine Adams 


The Women’s Exchange 

celebrated its 35th birthday 

Thursday, Oct. 4, by 

throwing a zero-waste 

party, the first of its kind 

ever held at the Winnetka 

Community House. 

By teaming up with Go 

Green Winnetka and Go 

Green Wilmette, the Women’s 

Exchange created a 

completely compostable 

event, including cooperation 

from all seven caterers 

and centerpieces full of 

non-perishables that were 

donated to the New Trier 

Food Pantry the next day. 

Knowthe early signs 

of autism (& therapysolutions) 

In this FREE seminar,you’ll discover thesigns of autism,the 

benefits of earlydiagnosis,the latest therapyoptions andwhat

5pmto6pm

Deerfield, Illinois 

The Women’s Exchange 

decided to throw the party 

as a thank you to the many 

people who have supported 

the organization, which offers 

programming, classes 

and discussions that seek to 

respond to a relevant need. 

Participating women come 

from 24 area communities, 

and the Exchange offers 

them close to 150 programs 

every year on topics varying 

from financial awareness 

to creative arts and 

current events. 

“It’s really important for 

women to know the value 

of having a place to talk,” 

said Deb Guy, Women’s 

Exchange director. 

The result, continued 

Guy, is that each woman 

feels nurtured and in turn, 

improves the community 

around her. 

Sponsored by 

Wendy Sharon, of Highland 

Park, attended the 

party to support the programming. 

“They do a lot with minimal 

resources,” she said. 

Margaret Martin-Heaton, 

of Wilmette, appreciated 

the “incredible programs” 

at the Women’s 

Exchange, and was “really 

proud of them” for taking 

on the zero-waste challenge. 

In the spirit of inclusivity, 

the start time for the 

party was pushed up to 

5:30 p.m. to allow those 

commuting home from 

work to stop by. More than 

100 tickets were sold for 

the celebration featuring 

multiple food stations, a 

photo booth and a dance 

floor with a DJ. 

The event also featured 

Spaceislimited.

will later be hand-blown to

While it may have 

seemed daunting to host 

such an elaborate party 

while also committing to 

zero waste, the consensus 

from both the Women’s 

Exchange and the Go 

Green groups was that it 

was not difficult. 

Exchange board member 

Saima Abbasi, who is 

also a board member on 

Go Green Wilmette, originally 

had the idea to make 

the party environmentallyfriendly. 

After arranging 

for the Exchange’s Spring 

Luncheon to have composting, 

Abbasi felt that 

continuing the environmental 

focus was “something 

we should do.” 

“The cost is not that 

much,” she added. 

Enlisting the help of 

Evanston’s Collective Resources 

to compost the 

leftovers and train the vendors 

and bussing staff on 

how to effectively organize 

their refuse to be zero-waste, 

members of the 

Exchange and Go Green 

were on hand to make sure 

Connie Garner-Cohen (left) and Burt Tesler 

contribute bags of cut glass to create an art project 

in commemoration of the Women’s Exchange 35th 

birthday. 

the process went smoothly. 

“It’s really very easy, 

and not expensive. This 

is the responsible way to 

have any event,” said Beth 

Drucker, Go Green Wilmette 

president. “It cost 

less than $50 to compost 

waste from tonight.” 

Tina Schultz, Go Green 

Wilmette board member, 

volunteered to help at the 

composting station, and 

said that “it’s messy, but 

it’s worth it.” She noted 

that many of the environmental 

choices made for 

the party, such as using 

compostable and reusable 

materials, were the only 

choices available just a 

few generations ago, but 

that somewhere along the 

way, “we lost that.” 

The Exchange hopes to 

continue this type of event. 

“I feel good, and the 

board feels great,” Abbasi 

said. “Change is difficult, 

but there is a lot of green 

movement taking place. 

We should be leaders.”

Former Loyola Academy teacher under investigation 

Jason Addy 

Contributing Editor 

Glenview police are investigating 

former Loyola 

Academy teacher Matthew 

Laird for “alleged 

internet crimes against 

children,” according to an 

email sent to the school’s 

alumni on Oct. 2. 

The Glenview Police 

Department notified 

school administrators on 

Sept. 19 that Laird, who 

taught English at the 

school 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 also served as a 

scholastic bowl moderator 

at 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. 

Laird placed on 

administrative leave at 

North Shore Academy 

Laird was in his second 

year teaching at North 

Shore Academy in Highland 

Park until Sept. 18, 

when Glenview police 

notified the Northern Suburban 

Special Education 

District of their ongoing 

criminal investigation, Superintendent 

Kurt Schneider 

said in a statement on 

Oct. 3. 

The district immediately 

placed Laird on administrative 

leave after the notification, 

Schneider said. 

Laird is no longer listed on 

the school’s online staff directory. 

NSSED administrators 

will recommend Laird be 

fired at the district’s Oct. 

10 leadership council 

meeting because he did 

not cooperate with the district’s 

internal investigation 

into the allegations, 

Schneider said. 

In the statement, the superintendent 

said students 

at North Shore Academy 

elementary and middle 

schools are unlikely to 

have had direct contact 

with Laird during their 

time in the district. 

“Currently, there is 

no information suggesting 

that any NSSED students 

are involved in this

Winnetka Village Council 

Trustees pass first step of amended One Winnetka proposal 

Village President: 

‘It’s regrettable 

that the process 

has taken this long’ 

Fouad Egbaria 


The introduction was approved for the amended proposal for the One Winnetka 

development at Lincoln Avenue and Elm Street. The proposal will face final approval 

at an upcoming Village Council meeting on Oct. 16. Photo Submitted 

An unmistakable sense 

of déjà vu gripped the Winnetka 

Village Hall Tuesday 

night, Oct. 2. 

The Winnetka Village 

Council approved a One 

Winnetka development 

proposal in January 2017, 

but the developer has 

since brought forth a revised 

proposal, which was 

presented to the Village 

Council at its Tuesday, 

Oct. 2 regular meeting. 

The proposal underwent 

several rounds of review 

before Village advisory 

bodies this summer, including 

the Plan Commission, 

Design Review 

Board and Zoning Board 

of Appeals. All three bodies 

voted to approve the 

proposal, according to 

meeting minutes. 

During a nearly fourhour 

meeting Tuesday — 

almost entirely devoted to 

discussion of the revised 

One Winnetka proposal 

— the Winnetka Village 

Council voted to approve 

the introduction of documents 

reflecting changes 

to the proposal, which will 

be up for final approval at 

a later date. 

“This has been an arduous 

process and it started 

before I was even up here,” 

Village President Chris 

Rintz said. “It’s regrettable 

that the process has taken 

this long.” 

Rintz added it’s been a 

“stumbling, fumbling sort 

of a process from the very 

beginning.” 

“I lived through a period 

of about 2008 to 2013 

where every deal was being 

retraded time and time 

and time again, opportunistically 

and with calculation,” 

he said. “Regretfully, 

what I think has come 

out of that period is the 

idea that retrading is just a 

part of the deal, part of the 

game, which is in my mind 

shameful and regretful. 

“I didn’t like how it felt 

then, and I don’t like how 

it feels now.” 

By voice votes, all coming 

in 3-2, the Village 

Council approved the introduction 

of ordinances 

calling for: rezoning of 

the property at 710 Elm 

St., containing a Villageowned 

commuter parking 

lot; an ordinance granting 

a special use permit, a 

variation and a certificate 

of appropriateness for the 

reconstruction and operation 

of a public parking lot 

within the C2 General Retail 

Commercial District; 

and an ordinance granting 

final approval of a planned 

development. 

Trustee Andrew Cripe 

recused himself on the 

vote because of an alleged 

conflict of interest. 

The ordinance approved 

for introduction related to 

final approval was amended 

to include several modifications, 

including those 

related to: addressing concerns 

raised on behalf of 

the Hadley Institute for 

the Blind and Visually Impaired, 

located at 700 Elm 

St.; the desire for balcony 

edges to be treated with 

cast stone or limestone; 

the composition of the 

building materials on the 

development’s east elevation, 

which will be subject 

to review and approval by 

the Design Review Board. 

Since a July 2017 iteration 

of the proposal, the 

developer has requested 

several changes, bringing 

the issue back in front of 

the Village Council once 

again. 

The July 2017 plan featured 

56 residential units 

(15 condominium units, 

five townhome units and 

36 rental apartments), at 

just over 190,000 square 

feet (plus 32,700 square 

feet of commercial space 

on the ground floor). In addition, 

the project would 

add 102 public parking 

spaces. 

The revised proposal 

features 58 residential 

units (15 condominium 

units, seven townhome 

units and 36 rental apartments), 

at approximately 

186,000 square feet and 

just under 30,000 square 

feet in commercial space. 

The new plan features an 

additional 91 public parking 

spaces. 

The new plan also calls 

for moving the building 

footprint about 40 feet to 

the east, plus rezoning and 

acquisition of 8,448 square 

feet of the commuter parking 

lot at 710 Elm St. 

The developer, represented 

by David Trandel, 

agreed to other changes 

following the summer discussions 

with the advisory 

bodies, including handling 

refuse pickup at an interior 

loading dock space, rather 

than at an outdoor refuse 

structure on the proposed 

development’s south platform. 

Trustees Bob Dearborn 

and Penny Lanphier indicated 

they were against approval. 

Dearborn said the 

previously approved plan 

“seemed to work,” but that 

the Village Council was 

now being asked to “save” 

the project by making a 

number of concessions. 

“I think we shouldn’t 

make any mistake about 

this, that the burden of 

those concessions ... falls 

squarely, 100 percent, on 

the village and our residents,” 

Dearborn said. 

“There is no debate about 

that. This plan I think most 

people would say is less 

good than the approved 

plan and to the extent it’s 

less good, it falls on our 

shoulders.” 

Trustee Anne Wedner 

argued in favor of approval, 

positing there’s a need 

for housing in the village 

geared toward those looking 

for something other 

than a house. 

“I think we suffer in our 

society from too much 

choice,” she said. “There’s 

so much choice and too 

many options and there’s 

too many versions floating 

around. The reality is 

we have a very solid plan, 

which needs some definition. 

... But I think we get 

in our own way in Winnetka 

by demanding that 

something be perfect, because 

it’s not going to be 

perfect. Perfect is the enemy 

of possible.” 

During approximately 

45 minutes of public comment, 

residents weighed 

in on the latest iteration of 

the One Winnetka development 

proposal. 

Harvey Bundy, a resident 

of the village for almost 

50 years, said he had 

already put down a deposit 

for one of the units in the 

proposed One Winnetka 

development. 

“We want to continue to 

live in Winnetka,” he said. 

“We’ve got a close tie to 

the community, we love 

the community. But there 

haven’t been any places 

that made any sense for us 

to live in the community. 

We travel a lot, we have a 

place in Florida, so we need 

someone to watch over 

the place and take in mail 

packages and those types 

of things — effectively the 

type of thing that you find 

in a downtown apartment 

building. There’s nothing 

like that here in town.” 

Bundy added he has 

friends who have left Winnetka 

because there is not 

anything like the One Winnetka 

proposal in town and 

that the delay in bringing 

the project to fruition has 

been an “incredibly frustrating” 

experience. 

“It’s time to get this 

going ... or we’re going 

to move downtown,” he 

added. 

Walter Greenough, a 

member of the Zoning 

Board of Appeals, said he 

reluctantly voted to approve 

the project — the 

Zoning Board voted unanimously 

to approve the proposal 

July 9 — but that he 

would vote against it if he 

were a member of the Village 

Council. 

“The scale of this project 

is just too big for Winnetka,” 

he said. “All you have 

to do is look at that fivestory 

building on Green 

Bay Road in Wilmette and 

get a sense of what we’re 

facing. Ask yourselves, is 

that what you want as your 

legacy — something that 

literally overshadows our 

community for the next 50 

years.” 

Peter Tyor, board president 

of the 711 Oak Condominium 

Association, 

referred to the proposal as 

a “one-sided deal.” 

“It would be nice if 

people did think about the

Sunset Ridge School awarded prestigious LEED certification 

First school in 

Illinois to receive 

platinum honor 

Submitted by Sunset Ridge 

School 

The Sunset Ridge 

School District 29 Board 

of Education announced 

that it has been awarded 

the highly coveted LEED 

Platinum certification. 

The LEED (Leadership 

in Energy and Environmental 

Design) rating system, 

developed by the U.S. 

Green Building Council, is 

the foremost program for 

buildings, homes and communities 

that are designed, 

constructed, maintained 

and operated for improved 

environmental and human 

health performance. 

LEED is the most widely 

used green building rating 

system in the world, 

with Platinum being the 

highest achievable level. 

More than 100,000 commercial 

and institutional 

projects are currently participating 

in LEED, comprising 

more than 2 million 

square feet of construction 

space in all 50 states and 

more than 160 countries 

and territories. According 

to the U.S. Green Building 

Council, the new Sunset 

Ridge School is the first 

LEED Platinum public 

elementary school in the 

state of Illinois, and one of 

only a small few across the 

country. 

Sunset Ridge School 

achieved LEED Platinum 

certification for implementing 

the highest level 

of practical and measurable 

strategies and solutions 

aimed at achieving 

an energy and resource efficient 

building. These included 

habitat restoration, 

on-site renewable solar energy, 

daylight harvesting, 

storm water control, light 

pollution reduction, water 

reduction and reuse, the 

use of low emitting materials, 

and the reuse and recycling 

of materials from the 

previous existing building. 

“We are very proud of 

this designation and the 

countless hours of design 

work that went into 

achieving LEED Platinum,” 

Sunset Ridge District 

29 Superintendent 

of Schools Dr. Ed Stange 

said. “Moreover, we are 

honored to be able to utilize 

the new school as a 

tool to educate students 

about environment consciousness.” 

Since opening in August 

2018, the new school has 

affectionately been nicknamed 

“Google for Kids” 

by the community for its 

plethora of engaging and 

child-centered learning 

spaces. 

Sacred Heart School becomes 

National Blue Ribbon honoree 

Submitted by Sacred 

Heart School 

Sacred Heart School has 

been named a 2018 National 

Blue Ribbon School, 

a prestigious honor that 

recognizes the highest performing 

public and nonpublic 

schools in the country 

and celebrates school 

excellence at all levels. 

The award was bestowed 

upon Sacred Heart School 

by Betsy DeVos, secretary 

of the U.S. Department of 

Education. 

“The students, parents, 

faculty and staff of Sacred 

Heart School could not be 

more excited about being 

named a 2018 National 

Blue Ribbon School,” 

said Kristen Fink, school 

principal. “There are so 

many reasons our school 

is a truly special place to 

learn and grow, not only 

because of our test scores, 

which rank us in the top 

15 percent in the country 

in English and mathematics, 

but also because of 

our commitment to meeting 

the individual needs of 

each child.” 

The preschool through 

eighth-grade school has 

been serving the Winnetka 

community since 1902. 

“The essence of Sacred 

Heart is dedicated and active 

families, a faith-based 

approach to instilling values, 

and exemplary teachers,” 

Fink said. 

According to Fink, the 

total dedication and commitment 

of Sacred Heart 

teachers are the primary 

reasons why Sacred Heart 

has won this award. 

“Every day, they go 

above and beyond to make 

sure every student is successful,” 

Fink said. 

The school integrates 

state-of-the-art technology 

into its curriculum. In fact, 

since 2009, Sacred Heart 

School has been designated 

an Apple Distinguished 

School more than 

six times. 

Sacred Heart School is 

committed to educating 

the “hearts and minds of 

students,” Fink said, noting 

that service projects, 

Courtesy Catchers, Prayer 

Families, and Viking 

Bucks are key to fulfilling 

the school’s Roman Catholic 

faith-based mission. 

Since 1982, the U.S. 

Department of Education 

has been recognizing public 

and non-public schools 

through its National Blue 

Ribbon program. The program 

was founded and 

named by former secretary 

of education Terrel H.Bell, 

who was appointed by 

President Reagan. Best 

known for commissioning 

the study of American 

education that resulted 

in A Nation at Risk, Bell 

created the National Blue 

Ribbon Schools Award 

to bring public attention 

to the best schools in the 

United States and to facilitate 

communication and 

sharing of best practices 

within and among schools. 

Sacred Heart will receive 

its commendation at 

a ceremony in Washington, 

D.C. on Nov. 8.

“The police are investigating 

the issue, and NSSED 

will continue to cooperate 

fully and keep you updated, 

as appropriate.” 

“We suggest that parents 

of NSA high school 

students discuss this matter 

with your child directly 

so they hear from you 

that Mr. Laird will not be 

returning to NSA and is 

under investigation,” he 

added. 

Laird also worked as

After leaving Loyola 

Academy in 2014, Laird 

joined National Academic

a question-writer for bowl 

tournaments, NAQT Chief 

Financial Officer Chad 

Kubicek said Oct. 3. 

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, 

“I don’t know any developers 

that are going to 

come to Winnetka again to 

go through three years of 

interrogation and multiple 

... probably 40 meetings 

plus to put together a project,” 

he said. 

Winnetka business owner 

Vicki Hofstetter also 

commented in favor of the 

proposal, arguing it would 

breathe life into that street 

corner. 

“I hope that this is the 

last meeting that I have to 

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.

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.

Mindful Money 

Police-Fire Open House shows importance of emergency funds 

Kathy Roeser 

Contributing Columnist 

Winnetka resident 

This coming Saturday, 

the Winnetka 

Police and Fire 

Departments are hosting a 

community open house to 

coincide with Fire Prevention 

Week. Attendees will 

have the opportunity to 

tour the facilities, view 

equipment demos and sit 

inside emergency response 

vehicles. 

This type of event 

truly demonstrates the 

importance of proactively 

planning for emergencies. 

While there may not be a 

sure-handed mechanism 

for preventing emergencies, 

preparing beforehand 

can help to mitigate the 

outcome. One area that 

is often overlooked is 

finances. Emergencies 

and disasters can levy 

a significant financial 

burden on those who are 

unprepared. As a wealth 

advisor, clients often ask 

for advice on preventing 

this type of situation. My 

answer? Have an emergency 

fund. Here’s why: 

Emergency Fund 101 

An emergency fund 

is essentially a savings 

account specifically 

reserved for use after an 

unexpected event. This 

might be a fire that causes 

thousands of dollars in 

damage to a home, or 

injuries sustained from a 

car accident that require 

emergency surgery. In the 

aftermath of these type 

of events, absorbing the 

subsequent expenses into 

daily operating budgets 

is not always plausible. 

Insurance plays an important 

role, but the recovery 

process after any unexpected 

emergency is 

generally quite expensive. 

A robust emergency 

fund helps to alleviate 

some of that financial 

strain by providing a 

critically important cash 

buffer. Even having a few 

thousand dollars set aside 

can make a huge difference, 

not to mention the 

time and resources saved 

by not having to worry 

about affording certain 

expenses. Most experts 

recommend stocking an 

emergency fund with 

enough cash to sustain at 

least three-to-six monthsworth 

of living, but you 

should never really cease 

contributions. 

Remember, having a 

well-funded account only 

serves to offer a greater 

peace of mind for both the 

account holder and their 

loved ones. 

Protection on multiple 

fronts 

The sheer presence 

of an emergency fund 

(regardless of the total 

amount) protects your 

portfolio and long-term 

financial goals in a 

variety of different ways. 

First and foremost, having 

emergency money set 

aside reduces the likelihood 

that you will have 

to either borrow from 

relatives/friends (which 

may create an uncomfortable 

situation) or draw 

from investment assets, 

401(k)’s, IRA’s or other 

core financial accounts to 

cover expenses in the aftermath. 

That cash buffer 

may also decrease reliance 

on credit during an 

emergency, which assists 

in keeping your credit 

score intact. Finally, an 

emergency fund protects 

your personal and professional 

goals by helping 

to expedite recovery and/ 

or rebuilding. Not that 

money is the only factor, 

but being financially 

prepared can simplify the 

process. 

Winnetka Fire Prevention 

Week and the upcoming 

Police-Fire Open 

House provide the perfect 

chance to review your 

family emergency planning 

protocols. This year, 

ensure that establishing, 

building and/or refining 

that emergency fund is 

high on the “to-do” list.

Two local students’ 

More Peace, Please 

project is the result 

of them learning about the 

Holocaust at Sunset Ridge 

School in Northfield. 

The seventh-grade girls, 

Hannah Clark and Lindsey 

George, felt the need 

to do something to create 

peace in our community 

following the lesson. 

Thus, the project was 

born. 

The project turned a 

regular Starbucks Coffee 

cup into something inspiring 

with their positive 

messages written around 

the outside. 

Then, I was surprised 

to learn the girls took the 

cup to the local Starbucks 

in Northfield and pitched 

the idea to them — how 

brave! 

With the help of the 

local baristas, they now 

have an idea how to contact 

corporate Starbucks to 

further their project even 

more. 

I hope their project gets 

in the hands of someone 

who will help them 

achieve their goal. Could 

you imagine their cup being 

distributed nationally? 

So cool. 

In this week’s Life & 

Arts section, you can 

read about their project at 

Sunset Ridge School. 

If their cup idea wasn’t 

already inspiring enough, 

they also created a new 

school club, The Empathy 

Ambassadors, to welcome 

new students and spread 

kindness. Keep up the 

great work, girls! 

Letter to the Editor 

Draw your attention to 

Sunset Ridge 

I believe that there 

should be more attention 

directed to the new school 

in Northfield and it’s amenities. 

Sunset Ridge is 

celebrating its one-year 

anniversary. 

One big thing about the 

school is that the school is 

good for the environment. 

The Village of Northfield posted this photo on 

Oct. 2 with the caption: “The Village is finishing 

up its fourth and final phase of updating all facilities 

to LED lighting technology. The new fixtures 

will consume approximately 66% less energy 

than the current fixtures, which supports the 

Village’s commitment to use energy efficiently 

and reduce energy consumption. The Village 

will receive a rebate for over $10,000 in project 

costs from ComEd.” 

It is creates its own energy, 

collects water, and has 

a natural prairie habitat. 

This is why Sunset Ridge 

is a green school. 

It is also very high tech. 

It has a makerspace, its windows 

tint based on sunlight 

and can be controlled by 

computers, and has many 

computers for different purposes. 

This is why Sunset 

Ridge is high tech. 

It also has a smart layout. 

It is easy to navigate 

and has many revolutionary 

ideas for layout, such 

as the learning stairs, 

moving walls, “living 

rooms” and small group 

rooms. This enforces why 

Sunset Ridge has a smart 

layout. 

I know that not everyone 

in the town was on 

board, but maybe now 

looking back we can 

see its impact on the students 

and surrounding areas.

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 in a 

classroom, 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 at 

approximately 2 p.m. 

Wednesday, Oct. 3. 

According to the email, 

the threat yesterday read 

“Shooting 10 03.” 

Per the Oct. 4 email, all 

school events for Oct. 4 

will continue as scheduled 

with increased security 

presence. 

“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.”

Students create personalized Starbucks cup to promote kindness 

Alexa Burnell 


Sunset Ridge seventhgrade 

students Hannah 

Clark and Lindsey George 

are giving a cup of java a 

whole new jolt through 

their project, More Peace, 

Please. 

The project hopes to 

turn an average Starbucks 

cup into an opportunity to 

remind latte lovers and beyond 

about the importance 

of adding a splash of kindness 

into their day. 

The initiative began at 

the end of the girls’ sixthgrade 

year, when their social 

studies teacher Mindy 

Golub taught her students 

about the Holocaust, and 

the importance of empathy 

and kindness. Clark 

and George were moved, 

enlisting the help of their 

friends to decorate a Starbucks 

cup with smiley 

faces, hearts, balloons and 

positive messages, all to 

be pitched to the coffeemaking 

giant. 

Word got out to the faculty, 

and language arts 

teacher Jennifer Kahlenberg, 

librarian Lauren 

Gray and Golub too, supported 

the girls’ efforts to 

contact a local Starbucks 

in Northfield. Clark and 

George took the lead, not 

letting any obstacle stop 

them. 

“Our hope was that Starbucks 

could use the cups, 

but of course there are 

company rules that have 

made us rethink our strategy,” 

George said. “So, now 

we are working with our 

teachers to find the right 

approach. We’ve been 

very lucky that the local 

Starbucks stores have been 

supportive and have pointed 

us to the right people at 

the headquarters.” 

While the official “how” 

is still a work-in-progress, 

the “why” is clear, according 

to George and Clark. 

“There can be a lot of drama 

with this age group; we 

hope a project like ours will 

remind kids to be kind to 

one another, have more empathy 

and think about how 

words and actions can hurt 

one another,” George said. 

“We all know there will 

be some people that naturally 

don’t like one another, 

but I think it’s important 

that we still remember 

to treat everyone with respect 

and kindness,” Clark 

added. “We should all be 

able to get along and take 

each other’s feelings into 

consideration.” 

In addition to putting the 

wheels in motion for a possible 

deal with Starbucks, 

the girls also sparked the 

creation of a new club at 

school, created by Golub, 

called The Empathy Ambassador, 

taking George 

and Clark along for the 

ride. 

“We were very happy 

to become part of [The 

Empathy Ambassadors], 

along with a handful of 

other kids who were selected,” 

Clark said. “During 

our discussions, we 

have talked about how to 

make new students feel 

welcomed and how to provide 

comfort to others. 

“For example, when 

some people are down, 

they want all their friends 

around them; while others 

feel they need more space 

and time alone. We learn 

how to recognize and respect 

people’s boundaries.” 

George explained her 

commitment to The Empathy 

Ambassadors and 

More Peace, Please is important 

for many reasons, 

but most importantly because 

of the upheaval in 

today’s society. 

“There are so many tragic 

events in this world. We 

need more peace and we 

need it now. This may be 

one small step, but it’s already 

led to some change in 

our school and we want to 

see it grow,” George said. 

Clark said she is motivated 

and inspired to see 

their idea turn into a real 

The Starbucks cup that two Northfield students created 

in their More Peace, Please project. Photo Submitted 

movement and has an unwavering 

belief that their 

plan will prevail. 

“We’ve read it in books, 

we’ve learned it in our 

classes – one small idea 

can turn into one, huge

In Memoriam 

Alexander Carr 

Hoffman 

Alexander 

Carr Hoffman, 92, formerly 

of Winnetka, died at his 

home in Claverack, New 

York on Aug, 6. He had 

relocated from Manchester 

Center, Verm., where he 

and his late wife lived for 

26 years. Prior to retiring 

to Vermont, he raised his 

family in Darien, where he 

was a member of the First 

Congregational Church. 

He was married to Marion 

Morse for 62 years, until 

her death in 2016. The 

love of his life, he always 

referred to her as “my 

bride”. The final year of 

his life was spent with his 

children Susan and Peter, 

their spouses Dennis Horn 

and Linda McNutt, and 

his grandchildren, Alec 

and Luke Butterfield, and 

Serena Hoffman. The son 

of Ira and Sue Carr Hoffman, 

he grew up in Winnetka 

and Minneapolis. He 

graduated from the Blake 

School, enlisting in the 

Navy at the age of 17. Following 

the end of WW ll, 

he was grateful to attend 

Dartmouth College on the 

GI Bill, Class of 1950, and 

then earned his master’s 

degree from Tuck Business 

School. He worked in 

New York City for Lever 

Brothers and Bristol Meyers, 

and for many years, 

Doubleday Books. He was 

deeply immersed in copyright 

law, and represented 

the United States at International 

Book Fairs in both 

the USSR and China, when 

they were just opening up 

to the west. Hoffman’s experiences 

there cemented 

his beliefs in free expression 

and democracy. In the 

last 15 years of his life, he 

transformed from being a 

lifelong political conservative 

into a very liberalminded 

citizen. A service 

will be held at the First 

Congregational Church in 

Manchester VT on Oct. 13 

at 10:30

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, which takes 

its name from Sunset Valley’s 

address, 1390 Sunset 

Road, 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. There were hamburgers, 

hot dogs, wraps.” 

The Park District is hoping 

that 13ninety will now 

become a destination. 

“When you come to 

golf, obviously, you come 

for the 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’re in a neighborhood, 

which is unique,” 

Romes said. “So, we get a 

lot of people who just walk 

over for breakfast, lunch or 

dinner from the surrounding 

houses right here.” 

Becoming a neighborhood 

spot for dining is the 

goal the Park District had 

in mind when first thinking 

over the renovations. 

“We wanted them to feel 

like they’re part of this, 

whether they play golf or 

not,” Romes said. “They 

can come by, whether it’s 

for coffee in the morning, 

to read a book. If they 

work from home, they can 

check their email here, or 

check their Facebook on 

their iPads here. We just 

want them to kind of enjoy 

it like they would go to 

maybe Starbucks or somewhere 

else.” 

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. 

“We wanted it to have a

relaxed look like you were 

in the city,” Romes said. 

But even with all of the 

renovations and modern 

design techniques used 

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. 

“We still have the old 

decor of the original 

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 

course,” Romes said. “[We 

have] three posters that 

give the history of Sunset 

Valley. There’s a ton of tradition 

and history with this 

course.” 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors stopped by 

the golf course to sample 

some of the menu items. 

The food expertly 

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.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Aidan Koconis-O’Malley 

The Loyola senior is 

a member of the girls 

swimming and water polo 

teams 

When did you start 

swimming and why? 

I started swimming 

when I was 8 years old, not 

because I wanted to but 

because my mom forced 

me to join the team so at 

least I would learn how to 

swim. Little did I know I 

would be swimming for 

the rest of my life. 

What’s your favorite 

part about swimming? 

My favorite part about 

swimming is the team. Everyday 

after a long day of 

school I am tired and not 

motivated for practice. 

The team automatically 

puts me in a better mood 

right when I see them. 

They are all so energetic 

and encouraging with everything 

we do. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a meet 

or water polo match? 

Before every race I have 

the same stretching routine 

and I do a “power pose” 

for 2. Also, I’m terrified 

of my goggles falling off. 

I still get nervous before 

every game and meet even 

though I’ve participated in 

so many. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

One thing people usually 

don’t know about me 

is that I have a 2-year-old 

nephew named Thomas. 

What’s the biggest 

difference between 

playing water polo 

and swimming? 

The biggest difference 

I’d say is the role of the 

team when it comes to 

competition time. For a 

swim meet it’s just you 

racing others but for a water 

polo game it’s you and 

your whole team competing 

against another team. 

What’s the best part 

about being a Loyola 

athlete? 

The best part about being 

a Loyola athlete is the 

friendships that you make 

with your teammates. 

You’re with them so much 

they basically become 

your second family. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

The best advice I’ve ever 

received is that everything 

happens for a reason. If I 

play bad in a polo game or 

PHOTO SUBMITTED 

swim bad at meet I always 

remind myself that it happened 

for a reason and I 

use it as an opportunity to 

improve from. 

What’s your favorite 

restaurant and what 

do you get there? 

My favorite restaurant is 

definitely L. Woods in Lincolnwood. 

I get a steak and 

mashed potatoes. 

What’s your guilty 

pressure? 

My guilty pleasures are 

candy and sweets. I love 

ice cream and candy. I 

could definitely eat ice 

cream every day. 

If you won a million 

dollars, what would 

you do with it? 

If I won a million dollars 

I would definitely go on a 

shopping spree and buy 

some new clothes, go to 

Santorini, Greece, donate 

some of it to a charity and 

give some to my parents.

FOOTBALL 

From Page 34 

football family. My husband’s 

a big Nebraska football 

fan so we sit and watch 

football together on Saturdays. 

I just was so excited 

that my kids could be a part 

of this sport really. It was 

like a no-brainer for us.” 

With the season being 

the first time she had 

played on a football team, 

it’d be easy for Tarr to 

have struggled against others 

who have been playing 

for a long time. But, lucking 

for Tarr, and her bantam 

teammates, two-thirds 

of the squad has never 

played football, so they’re 

all on even ground. 

One thing that has 

helped Tarr develop so 

quickly is her gymnastics 

background. The thirdgrader 

was a gymnast 

growing up and says she 

plans to continue doing acrobatics 

in the circus when 

she isn’t playing football. 

That training is something 

her coach, Eduardo 

Monk, said has helped her 

progress so quickly, even 

though, like Kelly, she is a 

lineman for her squad despite 

not being the biggest 

of players. 

“When I saw Maddie, I 

was like, ‘Okay, so she’s 

going to play a lineman,’” 

Monk said. 

Tarr is skilled at backbends, 

flips and cartwheels 

and with amazing feet and 

good upper body strength, 

Monk thought Tarr’s skills 

could adapt to football. 

“You could see early on 

Maddie had the strength 

and the power and the 

good feet to play on the 

line, which is what you really 

need,” Monk said. 

Breaking barriers 

Female football players 

isn’t a new concept to the 

North Shore youth football 

programs. The teams have 

had female players in the 

past, but the difference between 

this year and those 

in the past is that this is the 

first time two girls have 

been in the program at the 

same time. 

While girls playing football 

isn’t something new 

to the local teams, it might 

be to those teams that face 

the Northshore Trevians 

program. With that, it’d be 

easy for opponents, whether 

it be players, coaches or 

fans to make comments 

toward the girls. Thankfully, 

that’s something that 

hasn’t happened. 

“I’ve heard nothing of 

the sort,” Monk said. “I’ve 

seen other coaches and 

other players look at Maddie 

in the same way that 

they would look at boys on 

the team. 

“That’s what I love 

about this level is these 

kids don’t see male or female. 

They see athletes. 

They see football players.” 

It isn’t just the other 

teams and coaches that 

have done that with the 

girls. Kelly said it’s been 

the same way since she’s 

been with the program. 

“The best part is they 

don’t treat me like a girl,” 

she said. “They treat me 

like one of the boys and 

stuff. They don’t go easy on 

me or anything like that.” 

Both girls said that playing 

in the program has 

helped them socially, as 

well as athletically, and 

allowed them to come to 

certain realizations. 

“I used to feel like girls 

couldn’t do a lot and boys 

were more stronger than 

girls, but then I realized 

that girls can do anything 

boys can do,” Tarr said.



Football 

New Trier prepares for Maine South with win 


Sports Editor 

For the second time 

this season, Mother Nature 

wreaked havoc on the 

New Trier football team’s 

Friday night plans on the 

gridiron. Week 2 against 

Loyola saw a weather delay 

of over an hour that 

ended up in a Trevians 

loss. Week 7’s game, however, 

had quite the different 

feel to it. 

Despite having Friday, 

Oct. 5’s game postponed 

to Saturday morning, the 

Trevians were still able to 

walk away with an easy 

42-7 win over Niles North 

in Skokie. The game officially 

went into a weather 

delay at 8:23 p.m. on Friday, 

with a minute, 50 seconds 

to go to halftime and 

New Trier winning 21-0. 

A little more than 40 minutes 

later, it was decided to 

push the game to 10 a.m. 

on Saturday morning for 

the safety of everyone involved. 

“It’s hard to come back 

on a second day, but we 

didn’t play exceptionally 

well last night, so this was 

kind of a nice fresh start 

for us today,” New Trier 

coach Brian Doll said. 

“We played ok, but I felt 

today we came out, dominated 

early and made some 

plays early.” 

“You just have to stay 

focused,” New Trier’s 

Donovan Perkins said. 

The Trevians (6-1) 

came out a little slow, not 

really able to do much 

against a Niles North team 

that had given up at least 

41 points in its last five 

games. 

It wasn’t until quarterback 

Carson Ochsenhirt’s 

three-yard run put the Trevians 

up 7-0 with under 30 

New Trier’s Donovan Perkins (10) with a 10-yard run against Niles North Friday, Oct. 5, in Skokie. PHOTOS BY Scott Margolin/22nd Century Media 

seconds to go in the first 

period. 

“We just didn’t play 

well yesterday, but I think 

it was a combination of 

things,” Doll said. “For us, 

we didn’t get a defensive 

stop right at the beginning 

and they got a couple 

first downs and our kids 

weren’t as responsive as 

they had been this year. We 

finally got a couple scores 

and the big touchdown by 

Donovan Perkins got us 

going last night. 

“Sometimes you need 

those plays to change the 

atmosphere for your sideline.” 

Two Niles North possessions 

later, the Trevians 

picked off the Vikings 

quarterback at the New 

Trier 32-yard line, giving 

the Trevians the ball 

back. Brian Sitzer would 

score the first of his three 

touchdowns on the day to

to go in the first half. 

The Trevians’ next possession, 

after a Niles North 

three-and-out, was finished 

with a 71-yard touchdown 

pass from Ochsenhirt to 

Perkins. And the rout was 

on. 

“I use this game like it’s 

any other, play my game 

the way I know how,” Perkins 

said. “You can’t take 

it easy on anyone.” 

Sitzer would add fourand 

15-yard touchdowns 

on the game’s second day, 

to give the Trevians a 35-0 

lead. A big defensive stop

The last time the Trevians

Park Ridge, New Trier ended 

Maine South’s 77-game 

conference winning streak 

with a 38-28 win. With both 

teams being the lone undefeated 

teams left in the CSL 

South, the game will essentially 

be the division’s title 

game. 

“It’s going to be a great 

game, a very exciting 

crowd,” Perkins said. “We 

have to watch film and 

we’ll be ready.”

Northshore Trevians experience program-first 


Sports Editor 

As the number of kids 

playing tackle football 

drops in the United States, 

one thing that is actually 

on the rise is the number 

of girls playing youth football. 

According to the Sports 

and Fitness Industry Association, 

while girls make 

up less than 10 percent of 

all youth football players 

across the United States, 

more girls are playing than 

ever before. 

Included in that number 

are two girls, Maeve Kelly 

and Madeline Tarr, who are 

members of the Northshore 

Trevians football program. 

Kelly, a Wilmette Junior 

High student, is a member 

of the Varsity White squad, 

the program’s team for 

players who are in junior 

high, while Tarr, a thirdgrader 

at Harper Elementary 

School in Wilmette, 

is on the Bantam team, a 

squad made up of second to 

fourth graders. 

The 2018 football season 

marks Tarr’s first year in 

the program, while Kelly 

has played since fourth 

grade. While she’s been in 

the program for four years, 

the Northshore Trevians 

program is a new relatively 

new, one that is a combination 

of the Northshore Griffins 

and Junior Trevians 

programs. 

“I always liked hitting, 

like, tackling people and 

stuff, and my brothers always 

played,” Kelly said. 

“So I always wanted to try 

it.” 

Tarr, coincidentally, had 

a similar response. 

“My brother played and 

I thought it would be really 

cool if I played, too,” 

she added. “Plus, I just like 

tackling people because it’s 

better to get your anger out 

on the field.” 

Dominating the competition 

Kelly, who dreams of 

playing for New Trier 

next season, is one of the 

best players on the varsity 

squad. And it hasn’t been 

just this year that Kelly 

has been successful on the 

gridiron; she’s been one of 

the best players since she 

started the game. 

Kelly, who plays on both

Trevians game. 

the offensive and defensive 

lines and in the backfield, is 

proficient in all phases of 

the game. 

But what is it that makes 

her such a successful player? 

“She’s a very good football 

player at this age; 

she’s got a willingness to 

learn,” coach Jim Roth 

said. “She’s coachable, is I 

guess the word that we use 

when we find a player that 

is open and responsive in a 

positive way with instruction. 

I would say that’s one 

of Maeve’s strong suits is 

that she wants to know how 

to be better, and then just 

her athleticism. 

“She is very athletic, 

she’s got phenomenal 

hands with regards to being 

able to catch a football, 

she’s fast and she just ... if 

you didn’t know she was a 

girl — it’s hard to tell when 

she’s in her football uniform 

— you would think 

she’s just like all the other 

boys.” 

For Kelly’s dad, Mike, 

it’s been great to see his 

daughter succeeding on the 

field. 

“She’s just an athletic 

kid. And she throws herself 

into it,” Mike Kelly said. 

“So to see her continue to 

succeed, it’s just great to 

see her continue to learn. 

Maddie Tarr (right middle), blocks an opponent during a 

game for the Northshore Trevians this season. Photos 

submitted 

She’s had such great coaches, 

and you know, she just 

throws herself into it. She 

really is a student. She really 

does her homework, tries 

to learn her plays. It’s been 

really great for her. She’s 

really ... she’s learned a lot. 

Sports do that, any sport.” 

Despite playing both offense 

and defense, Maeve 

Kelly said that one phase in 

particular is her favorite. 

“Defense,” she said. “I 

get to tackle people and 

stuff and plus it’s actually 

really fun. Well, it’s fun. 

Well, defense sometimes 

wins the game. And offense, 

sometimes people 

do bad, and so the defense 

is there to pick up what 

the offense didn’t do.” 

Starting anew 

It wasn’t really shocking 

to her family when Maddie 

Tarr came to her parents 

and told them she wanted 

to play football. 

“I don’t know that I 

thought of it any different 

than when Charlie (her son) 

asked me to play football,” 

Tarr’s mom Michelle said. 

“Maybe it’s just because 

the way the program is 

so open here. We’re a big

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 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’

big plays.

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.”

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,

The Trevians are pretty much fully 

healthy and playing really well. The 

Trevs take control of the CSL South 

with a win.

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.”

It’s been an admirable run by 

the Trevs since their Week 2 loss 

against rival LA, but NT falls short 

in its toughest test of the season.
