Proposed roadway at Canal Shores could put road in backyard of homes 

Todd Marver 

Freelance Reporter 

The Wilmette Park 

Board signaled its opposition 

to an easement request 

that would eliminate 

the 10th hole of the Canal 

Shores Golf Course. 

The Park Board approved 

a resolution registering 

formal opposition 

to the Keefe Family 

Trust’s easement request 

for roadway purposes 

at its Wednesday, Oct. 

10 meeting. The 61-foot 

wide, 300-foot long roadway 

would extend south 

from Maple Avenue behind 

the homes on the east 

side of Golf Terrace and 

pave over the 10th hole 

of the Canal Shores Golf 

Course. If the road were 

to be built, it would essen- 

“That’s a pretty staggering thought when I think about that. 

Theoretically you’re going to have a road on either side of you.” 

John Olvany — Wilmette Park Board commissioner on an easement request by the Keefe Family 

Trust at Canal Shores Golf Course 

tially be in the backyard 

of the homes on the east 

side of Golf Terrace, so 

they’d have a road both in 

the front and back of their 

homes. 

“It doesn’t seem to me 

that there are any other 

houses anywhere in Wilmette 

that would actually 

have a roadway on both 

sides of the property,” 

Commissioner John Olvany 

said. “That’s a pretty 

staggering thought when 

I think about that. Theoretically 

you’re going to 

have a road on either side 

of you.” 

Commissioner Bryan 

Abbott praised Canal 

Shores Golf Course’s asset 

to the community. 

“I’ve admired Canal 

Shores recreational use 

in terms of not just golfers, 

but how they open up 

the golf course for everybody 

to use,” he said. “It’s 

not restrictive, but actually 

very open and I think 

they’re pretty unique 

in that regard for a golf 

course.” 

The Park Board received 

over 150 emails 

all in opposition to the 

easement request and 

also heard from nearly 20 

people during public comment 

all in opposition. 

Specifically, the board 

received notification of 

opposition from Canal 

Shores and its board, Go 

Green Wilmette, Central 

Street Neighbors Association, 

Citizens’ Greener 

Evanston and Friends of 

Isabella Woods. 

“Each of those organizations 

represent a considerable 

number of local 

residents,” Abbott said. 

Additionally, the board 

received correspondence 

that extended beyond 

Wilmette and Evanston 

boundaries and even extended 

beyond state lines. 

“We’ve also heard from 

people who aren’t even 

local. We’ve heard from 

out of state people on this 

issue,” Abbott said. “The 

extent of the correspondence 

that we’ve received 

on this not only in numbers 

but also in reach has 

been quite astounding.” 

Olvany said that in his 

seven years on the Park 

Board, he had never previously 

received 100 percent 

of correspondence in 

opposition or on one side 

of an issue. 

“In this case I think our 

constituents have spoken 

very clearly about what 

they expect us to do and I 

think that this resolution 

does a very nice job of stating 

our position,” he said.

Wilmette Village Board 

2019 fiscal year budget features lowest 

percentage tax levy increase in 22 years 

Todd Marver 


The Wilmette Village 

Board began the fiscal 

year 2019 budget process 

in earnest when Village 

Manager Tim Frenzer presented 

the fiscal year 2019 

proposed budget at the 

board’s Tuesday, Oct. 9 

meeting. 

The next step in the 

budget process is a budget 

workshop held by the 

Village Board open to the 

public 7 p.m. Tuesday, 

Oct. 30 at Village Hall to 

review the budget. 

Additional budget workshops 

would be held in early 

November if necessary. 

The budget will be approved 

by the Village 

Board at its Nov. 27 meeting 

and the tax levy will 

be approved by the board 

Dec. 11. 

“This is the first step in 

our annual budget process: 

the formal introduction of 

the proposed budget at this 

meeting. So there’s plenty 

of time,” Village President 

Bob Bielinski said. 

“Frankly I don’t believe 

any of us have reviewed it 

yet. If it’s online already, I 

doubt anyone got a jumpstart 

on it. But that’s the 

work of every fall for us.” 

The proposed budget includes 

the lowest percentage 

increase in the property 

tax levy in 22 years at 

2.75 percent. 

The 2.75 percent increase 

includes a 1.68 percent 

increase in operations, 

1.21 percent increase to 

pensions and 0.14 percent 

decrease to debt service. 

The proposed budget 

also includes no increase 

to the sewer rate for the 

fourth consecutive year. 

The proposed budget for 

the sewer fund includes 

$1.9 million for sewer lining, 

$1.9 million for Phase 

I engineering of Neighborhood 

Storage for the stormwater 

project, $327,500 

for sewer main repairs, 

$75,000 for stormwater 

utility implementation (if 

necessary), $72,500 for the 

Rain Ready Program and 

$60,000 for smoke testing. 

The budget also includes 

no increase to vehicle license, 

building permit or 

ambulance fees. 

The vehicle license, 

building permit and ambulance 

fees have held flat 

for over five years. The 

proposed budget additionally 

includes a 2.7 percent 

increase in the water rate. 

The 2.7 percent increase 

to the residential rate reflects 

increasing personnel, 

contractual and commodity 

costs over time.

Appreciation for Mallinckrodt evident at annual party 

Alexa Burnell 


While Mallinckrodt 

Park is usually a serene, 

quite venue, the park became 

one of the most happening 

places to be last 

month during the annual 

members appreciation party, 

where live music, good 

food and good times kept 

the party going all evening 

long. 

Julie Mantice, Mallinckrodt 

manager, explained 

that the event is a way for 

the Wilmette Park District 

to show appreciation for 

all Mallinckrodt members 

who participate in the 

many programs offered 

for the 50 and over crowd, 

around town. 

“Our members are our 

family and we appreciate 

their growing interested 

in the many opportunities 

that we offer,” Mantice 

said. “Their involvement 

encourages us to keep 

adding new programs 

and adventures, making 

Mallinckrodt the community 

enriching center we 

hope for it to be.” 

The event was underwritten 

by Salome Jackson, 

founder of Shalom 

at Home, an organization 

that pairs seniors with the 

perfect caregiver, so folks 

don’t have to leave their 

homes. She mingled with 

guests, amazed to hear 

about the adventures so 

many have taken advantage 

of. 

“I’ve worked with many 

senior centers, but I have 

to say, I’m blown away 

at what Mallinckrodt offers 

their members. The 

opportunities are endless 

and make everyone feel 

included, accepted and 

engaged. I’m proud to 

sponsor the event tonight,” 

Jackson said. 

Jackson also brought 

with her the Rue Street 

Band, who played a variety 

of tunes, getting folks 

dancing and having a wonderful 

time. Mallinckrodt 

members, Regina Lee, 

Elaine Fischer and Andi 

Kosla, sat together, listening 

to the music and recalling 

all the wonderful 

experiences they have had, 

thanks to Mallinckrodt offerings 

. 

“We all love Zumba, 

and we’ve attended many 

of the performances

Fischer said. “Really, there 

is something for everyone, 

and always something to 

do, which I really appreciate.”

that once existed where 

Mallinckrodt sits today, 

grateful to be back and 

enjoying every benefit the 

membership offers, particularly 

the fitness. 

“I take a strength and 

conditioning class among 

others and I will tell you 

they are better than any 

physical therapy program 

I’ve participated in. The 

instructors are great, and I 

feel better than ever,” Lee 

said. 

So, what does it take to 

become a Mallinckrodt 

member? The answer is 

simple — all it takes is to 

be 50+ and a small fee of 

$42 per year, and suddenly, 

one will have access to 

discounted fitness classes, 

trips to the city, visits to 

a variety of restaurants, 

travel, new friends and 

most importantly, a community.

Leaf collection began Oct. 

15 

The Village’s popular 

leaf collection program 

began Monday, Oct. 15 

and runs through Dec. 7, 

weather permitting. Residents 

who live on residential 

side streets are asked 

to rake leaves to the curb. 

Please avoid raking leaves 

onto the street until two 

days prior to your scheduled 

collection day to prevent 

the clogging of storm 

drains. Residents who live 

on arterial streets (Lake 

Avenue, Wilmette Avenue, 

Sheridan Road, Green Bay 

Road, Ridge Road, Skokie 

Boulevard, and Hibbard 

Road) should place leaves 

on the parkway behind the 

curb, not in the street, due 

to heavy traffic. 

Leaves must be in a 

loose condition, not in 

bags or containers, for collection. 

Leaves should be 

piled directly in front of 

your home, taking care not 

to block access to driveways 

and fire hydrants. 

Street parking will be 

prohibited on scheduled 

leaf collection days. “No- 

Parking” signs will be 

posted on each block with 

applicable collection dates. 

Leaf piles blocked by vehicles 

will be skipped, and 

the vehicle will be ticketed. 

Success of the leaf program 

relies on residents’ 

understanding and support 

of parking restrictions. 

For the complete collection 

schedule, visit www.

Halloween Trick-or-Treat 

Halloween Trick or 

Treat hours are from 4 – 8 

p.m. on Wednesday, October 

31. The Wilmette Police 

Department offers the 

following tips for a safe 

and spooky Halloween: 

• Children should only 

go to homes where parents 

know the residents. 

• Stay on the porch 

or front steps to receive 

treats. 

• Children should cross 

the street at the intersection, 

not in the middle 

of the street or between 

parked cars. 

• Adults should inspect 

all candy before it is eaten. 

• Costumes should allow 

the child to see and hear 

perfectly. Little ghosts and 

goblins should be able to 

hear and see vehicles. 

• Costumes should be 

bright colored or have 

glow in-the-dark patches 

so drivers can see the children. 

Flashlights and glow 

sticks can help! 

• Go with the kids! It’s 

safer for them.

Wilmette firefighters demonstrate teamwork at annual open house 

Alexa Burnell 


The Wilmette Fire Department 

hosted their annual 

open house Saturday, 

Oct. 13, using the day as 

an opportunity to teach the 

public to “Look. Listen. 

Learn – Be Aware. Fire 

Can Happen Anywhere.” 

“Through this year’s 

theme, we hope to teach 

families about the many 

ways to keep homes safe,” 

Lieutenant Jennifer Rogers 

said. “Make sure to have 

working smoke detectors 

and carbon monoxide detectors. 

Families should 

develop an escape plan if 

a fire were to break out in 

the home, because there is 

only little bit of time to get 

out safely; being prepared 

reduces the chance for 

tragedy.” 

Some interesting facts 

that Rogers shared with 

visitors included that the 

average home can go up 

in flames in as little as two 

minutes. 

“A long time ago, it took 

almost 20 minutes for a 

home to become engulfed 

in flames, but all that has 

changed, due the materials 

used in most home furnishings,” 

Rogers said. “This 

gives all the more reason 

to have a well-thought out 

escape plan.” 

In addition, carbon monoxide 

detectors should be 

placed on each level of 

the home, and definitely 

near sleeping areas. They 

should be placed around 

knee level since carbon 

monoxide is a much heavier 

smoke, taking more 

time to rise and trigger a 

detector that is too high. 

Along with basic fire 

safety, Firefighters demonstrated 

how to retrieve 

a victim from a serious 

car accident. As Rogers 

instructed her crew, a 

team of firefighters used 

the Jaws of Life and other 

tools to save a pretend victim 

from a simulated crash 

site. 

“Our motto is, ‘take the 

car away from the victim, 

not the victim away from 

the car,’” Rogers said. “If 

a victim is injured, we 

want to take steps to stabilize 

before moving them, 

which can make all the difference 

to their chance of 

survival.” 

Guests also had the 

chance to reenact an escape 

from a smoke-filled 

building, spray a real fire 

hose and meet Sparky the 

Fire Dog. Deputy Chief 

Robert Brill and firefighter 

and paramedic Scott 

Paczosa demonstrated 

how equipment is used 

to rescue someone from 

a high setting like a window 

washing apparatus or 

down below from a sewer 

or ditch. 

“What these simulations 

teach kids is how 

the department works as a 

team,” Brill said. “When 

responding to an emergency, 

everyone has a role to 

play and we must work together 

as a team to rescue 

the victim.” 

The Nelson family, of 

Wilmette, appreciated the 

safety reminders, while 

watching their daughters 

Lena and Isla pretending 

to be heroes in training. 

“This event is a lot of 

fun for the kids, while reminding 

the adults about 

all the steps we need to 

keep our homes safe,” 

said mom, Laurel Nelson. 

“I also appreciate that the 

fire department have visited 

the schools this week, 

teaching our kids important 

lessons. My girls have 

been giving me fire-safety 

tips all week and were 

so excited to come to the 

open house today.”

Women’s Exchange provides nurturing and supportive community 

Alexa Burnell 


There comes a time in 

the lives of many women 

when they must take pause 

and consider how the past 

and present impacts the 

direction of their future. 

When that moment comes, 

women across the North 

Shore and beyond can 

find a nurturing and supportive 

community at the 

Women’s Exchange, uniting 

with others, over the 

shared goal to live life to 

the fullest. 

On Oct. 4, participants 

gathered at the Women’s 

Exchange headquarters located 

within the Harkness 

House at 630 Lincoln Ave. 

— the building adjacent to 

the Winnetka Community 

House — celebrating an 

organization that has empowered 

women for the 

past 35 years. 

“Thirty-five years ago, 

the founders of the Women’s 

Exchange took on the 

challenge of helping women 

discover how to best 

balance all aspects of their 

lives such as work, marriage, 

childrearing, finances 

caring for aging parents 

and so much more. The 

goal was to unite everyday 

women with the experts 

who could advise them on 

how to best navigate such 

situations, while still moving 

forward authentically, 

in their own personal lives. 

Since then, many organizations 

have followed 

suit, but we are the leader 

in this particular area, and 

going strong for over three 

decades now.” said Deb 

Guy, executive director 

and Glencoe resident. 

The Women’s Exchange 

offers a variety of 

courses that are meant to 

help a woman find selffulfillment 

at all stages of 

their lives. Their signature 

course, Life Planning, is 

one of their most popular, 

for the simple fact that, it 

works. 

“This 16-week signature 

course takes a look 

at the past and present, 

applying it to the future. 

It’s conducted in a group 

format, where groupmates 

can nurture one another 

into new states of growth,” 

Guy said. “We teach women 

to take a look at their 

past, asking them to recall 

their most meaningful life 

experiences, along with 

some of the most challenging. 

This information 

is then used to help make 

decisions in the present 

time and is also used as a 

means of goal-setting for 

the future.” 

Putting this model into 

action, Guy recalls working 

with one woman who 

struggled to let go of her 

family home and purchase 

a new one. Instructors at 

the Woman’s Exchange 

suggested she visit a number 

of open houses and 

take notes about what aspects 

of the house evoked 

happiness, taking the time 

needed to arrive at the 

right decision. 

Similarly, Guy recalls 

working with two women 

in their late 20’s, searching 

for meaningful work. 

Instructors advised the 

women to think above and 

beyond their skill-set, examining 

if a job opportunity 

aligned with their values, 

ultimately leading to a 

more fulfilling work life. 

“Something as simple as 

teaching women that a job 

should match their values, 

beliefs and passion is often 

eye opening. It’s often too 

easy to search for work that 

matches our skills, but to 

have a meaningful career, 

the job must compliment 

our values too, leading to 

a more enriching work experience.” 

Guy said. 

Wilmette’s Anne 

Wieboldt is the board 

president, using her background 

in finance to teach 

women how to understand 

their own financial situation, 

another popular topic 

explored by participants at 

the Women’s Exchange. 

“Talking about money 

is a sensitive and personal 

topic but having an understanding 

of our personal 

finances is so necessary for 

women at all stages of life. 

It is also important that the 

environment be one where 

women feel comfortable 

sharing and asking questions, 

free of judgment. I 

give credit to Deb who 

strictly enforces the ‘no 

cattiness zone’. We teach 

women that the language 

we use can cause someone 

to shut -down or open- up. 

We pride ourselves on being 

a community that elevates 

one another, allowing 

all participants to reach 

their best selves; this is so 

important,” Wieboldt said. 

Along with some of the 

more serious work done at 

the Women’s Exchange, 

participants are also encouraged 

to tap into other 

areas of their life – writing, 

health and fitness, book 

clubs, etc., finding joy in 

life and sharing it with 

others who share similar 

interests. 

On the horizon, is a determination 

to grow and 

keep the spirit of the Women’s 

Exchange alive for the 

long haul. 

“We are making active 

steps to be here for another 

35 years, so we are looking 

at endowment, becoming 

ADA compliant and 

more, so that we may serve 

any woman who seeks our 

services,” Guy shared. “In 

addition, we are experimenting 

with podcasts, 

so that we can reach our 

participants who travel or 

live in multiple locations 

throughout the year. We 

still believe that face to 

face community and connection 

is most important, 

but because we already 

serve participants from 

24 surrounding areas and 

growing, we want to be 

able to reach those who 

want to be reached.”

President Amy Wolfe 

echoed Olvany’s sentiments. 

“Receiving so much 

correspondence in opposition 

to this is unheard of 

when there’s usually both 

sides to an issue,” Wolfe 

said. “So it just speaks 

volumes to the passion 

around the opposition to 

this project.” 

The property is owned 

by the Metropolitan Water 

Reclamation District 

of Greater Chicago and 

leased by the Wilmette 

Park District. The MWRD 

Board is considering the 

easement request at its 

Oct. 18 meeting. If the 

MWRD were to grant the 

request, the Wilmette Park 

Board would later have a 

vote on the request. The 

Park Board’s resolution 

in opposition signals that 

it would vote against approving 

the easement. The 

Wilmette Park Board will 

send a copy of its resolution 

in opposition, as well 

as emails and other correspondence 

it received 

to the MWRD and plans 

to have a representative at 

the MWRD meeting. 

“I would strongly encourage 

us to make that 

happen (to have a representative 

at the MWRD 

meeting) and I would 

leave it to you Madame 

President (Amy Wolfe) to 

figure out who that appropriate 

person would be,” 

Olvany said.

With more than 250 attendees 

making their way 

to Northbrook Court, vendors 

at Active Aging — An 

Expo for Ages 50+ were 

pleased to have a perfect 

venue to share information 

about their businesses with 

the local community Saturday, 

Oct. 13, in Northbrook. 

“This is the fifth year 

that we’ve done this event. 

It’s important to recognize 

the aging population in our 

community,” said Heather 

Warthen, chief operating 

officer at 22nd Century 

Media, expo presenter and 

parent company of The 

Beacon. “We brought together 

a great group of 

vendors that offer a variety 

of resources for those actively 

aging or children of 

parents who are in that age 

group.” 

For the first time, the 

expo was staged at Northbrook 

Court, which was 

also a popular venue 

choice for 22nd Century 

Media’s Camp Expo, held 

in February. The expo was 

located near the lower level 

of Macy’s and ran from 

10 a.m.-2 p.m. 

“Northbrook Court is a 

great central location off 

of Lake Cook Road, easy 

to find,” Warthen said. “So 

far, people have been excited 

with some showing 

up as early as 8:30.” 

The variety of vendors 

at the expo ran the gamut 

from real estate, financial 

advisors, health and fitness 

to home improvement, 

performing arts and 

more. 

One of those vendors 

was FreshSkin Medical 

Spa & Wellness Center, 

who were at the expo for 

the first time this year. Describing 

itself as an aesthetic 

and anti-aging center 

for men and women, 

FreshSkin has been located 

in downtown Highland 

Park since 2011. 

“We’re based in functional 

medicine. We focus 

on optimizing the body so 

that you have healthy skin 

and a healthy body,” said 

Jenna Radivojevic, who 

does community outreach 

for the company. “We 

typically see patients that 

come to us that have gone 

to other doctors who have 

told them they’re okay, but 

they still feel off.”

Academy of the Performing 

Arts was also making 

its expo debut. Owner Pamela 

Sue Fox discussed 

the many offerings at 

SNAP including music, 

dance classes and performance 

opportunities for 

age 2 and up. 

“Our performing company 

performs for free for 

seniors all over Chicago,” 

Fox said. “In addition, I’m 

a singer and offer my services 

as well.” 

Attendees Judy Weintraub, 

of Northbrook, and 

her mother, Debbi Kaylegjan, 

were making their 

way around the expo. 

“I’m very happy with 

this event and have a lot 

more hope than I had before,” 

Weintraub said. “We 

were actually just shopping 

in the mall and ran into it.” 

Marlene Schwan, a resident 

of Highland Park, is 

an owner of Compassionate 

Care Consulting, out of 

Bannockburn. The company’s 

mission is to provide 

a safe, professional setting 

for patients to gain safe, legal 

access to medical cannabis. 

“There’s been a lot of 

curiosity as to what we 

do and how medical marijuana 

may help or not help 

them,” Schwan said. “People 

with any of a number of 

medical conditions qualify 

for their medical marijuana 

card and we help them 

through the process.” 

Andrew Erickson, who 

works at an Edward Jones 

office that has been in 

Winnetka for 15 years, 

was pleased with the event 

as he set up appointments

to help people navigate 

their retirement plans. 

“The stock market was 

very volatile last week, so 

many people want to talk 

about that and figure out 

strategies to protect their 

money,” Erickson said. 

Lake Forest’s Wellness 

Solutions does a little bit of 

everything from physical 

therapy, pilates, reiki and 

tuning fork healing, vibrational 

singing bowls, laser 

and sauna. Established in 

2006, the company lives 

by the mantra “Feel Better, 

Age Smarter,” and especially 

prides itself on assisting 

older citizens. 

“I think we’re a bit more 

integrative because we 

bring other modalities in,” 

said Tina Ashbeck, of Lake 

Bluff, a licensed physical 

therapist. “We’re not just 

looking at the body, but the 

mind and spirit.”

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Man rescued from capsized 

boat at Lloyd Beach 

A boater called Winnetka 

authorities to report 

he was in distress around 

2 p.m. Oct. 9 after his 

boat capsized at Lloyd 

Beach in Winnetka. The 

Winnetka Fire Department 

rescue crews spotted 

the boater, who reportedly 

sat on top of his boat, 

about three-quarters of a 

mile out from the Lloyd 

Beach boat launch, 799 

Sheridan Road, according 

Winnetka Fire Chief Alan 

Berkowsky. 

Rescue efforts included 

local police and fire departments, 

and the coast 

guard out of Wilmette, 

which was called at 2:06 

p.m. 

Ten minutes later, rescue 

teams made contact with 

one boat occupant, who resides 

in Winnetka. 

“Anytime we get a call 

with someone in trouble 

in Lake Michigan, we 

have a pretty substantial 

response,” Berkowsky 

said. “We try to first rescue 

the person off the surface 

first.”

A Word From The (Former) President 

Honoring our homegrown do-gooders 

John Jacoby 

Contributing Columnist 

Are you interested 

in stories about local 

boys and girls 

who went on to become, 

for lack of a better term, 

“do-gooders”? I’m going 

to tell one story today, 

and I invite you to suggest 

others for future columns. 

David Savard was born 

in 1965 and raised in 

Wilmette. He attended St. 

Francis School and New 

Trier. He did the “regular 

stuff” that local kids do. 

He frequented Langdon 

and Gillson parks. He 

played hockey. He loved 

the Library — “still 

my favorite part of the 

Village”. He especially 

enjoyed history. He was a 

“mediocre” student at NT, 

walking in “unprepared 

for what I’d face there” 

but walking out “fully prepared 

for college.” 

He attended Colorado 

College and afterwards 

lived in Aspen, “working 

hard and skiing hard”. 

He enjoyed the mountains 

and the interesting 

people. Meanwhile, back 

in Wilmette, “mom and 

dad were wondering, why 

don’t you come home?” 

After five years, he realized 

that to make a decent 

life in Colorado, he’d have 

to move to Denver, but “I 

didn’t move to Colorado 

to live in a city.” 

He returned to Chicago 

David Savard (center), with wife, Eleonora, and son, 

Jason, shown here at the main square in Skopje, 

Macedonia, now live at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, 

where Jason attends the Department of Defense High 

School. Photo submitted 

and entered a program for 

“mid-career-professionals” 

to teach in the Public 

Schools while taking 

education courses. “I got 

tossed into the deep end 

when I was selected for 

that program.” He spent 

four years teaching history 

at Prosser Vocational and 

“got a great understanding 

of the life of lower middle 

class kids in the City: 

There were many things 

out there to hurt them 

and not many to support 

them.” 

In 1998, he entered the 

Peace Corp — something 

he had wanted to do since 

an older cousin served 

in the early 1970s. He 

worked at a high school in 

Macedonia, putatively as 

a teacher but substantively 

as a trust-building representative 

of America. His 

time was cut short when, 

in March 1999, NATO 

began a bombing campaign 

against Yugoslavia 

in the adjacent territory of 

Kosovo -- an action that 

turned many Macedonians 

against the U.S. The Peace 

Corp volunteers in Macedonia 

were evacuated to 

Bulgaria and released 

from service. 

Six weeks later, he 

returned, working for 

the American Refugee 

Committee in Kosovo. 

Since then, he has worked 

for various organizations 

and agencies that provide 

humanitarian services to 

victims of wars, political 

upheaval, and natural 

disasters. These services, 

funded mostly with government 

money, involve 

assessing the needs of the 

affected populations and 

sponsoring projects that 

address their needs — like 

rebuilding homes, reopening 

hospitals and schools, 

restoring newspapers and 

radio stations, and otherwise 

recreating a sense of

Wine Walk brings ‘energy’ to downtown Wilmette 

Alexa Burnell 

Freelane Reporter 

Folks raised their glasses 

to the North Suburban 

Special Recreation Association 

— an organization 

devoted to enriching 

the lives of people with 

disabilities through quality 

recreation services 

— during the Wilmette/ 

Kenilworth Chamber of 

Commerce’s Wine Walk 

Saturday, Oct. 13, uniting 

residents and small 

business owners over the 

shared goal of generosity. 

Julie Yusim, executive 

director of the chamber, 

helped greet more than 

150 guests, excited to see 

so many coming together 

to enjoy the bustling Village 

Center, while giving 

back to a worthy cause, all 

at the same time. 

“It’s wonderful to be 

surrounded by all this 

energy in the village tonight,” 

Yusim said. “The 

turnout is great, bringing 

awareness to both our local 

business owners and to 

the evening’s beneficiary, 

the NSSRA.” 

Yusim also applauded 

Amy Lafontante, owner of 

The Bottle Shop, a staunch 

supporter of the NSSRA. 

“[Amy] designed the 

program. She had a vision 

and a connection with the 

NSSRA and was the one 

who suggested that they 

be our beneficiaries for the 

evening,” Yusim said. 

Down the street, Anne 

Kelly, of A.S.K. Media 

Group, Inc., a chamber 

board member and member 

of the Village’s marketing 

group, was also 

instrumental in planning 

the event, such as securing 

North Shore Community 

Bank as the sponsor. To 

her, the growing noise level 

at The Wilmette Wine 

Cellar was a good indication 

that the evening was a 

hit among the crowd. 

“We have a real nice 

turnout so far and we are 

excited to see all these 

residents coming to the 

Village Center on a beautiful 

Saturday night to 

support a great cause and 

enjoy our community,” 

Kelly said. “We have 12 

local businesses participating 

tonight. Each one has 

a professional wine representative, 

educating visitors 

on the different wines. 

“Many of the restaurants 

have offered appetizers and 

snacks. Last, but not least, 

I want to say how much 

I appreciate both Tom 

Boyle, of the Wine Cellar, 

and Amy Lafontante, of the 

Bottle Shop, for their great 

collaboration. In addition 

to all they have already 

done, they are donating 10 

percent of proceeds earned 

on bottles of wine sold, 

back to the NSSRA.” 

While Yusim and Kelly 

thrived on the energy within 

the community, Craig 

Culp, executive director 

of the NSSRA, thrived on 

the goodwill surrounding 

him, knowing first hand 

how proceeds will benefit 

participants. 

“For me, this night is all 

about bringing awareness 

to the NSSRA,” Culp said. 

“All proceeds from tonight 

will go to our foundation, 

where funds will be used 

for scholarships, and to 

maintain all ten, wheelchair-accessible 

vehicles, 

that our organization uses 

to safely transport participants 

from one program 

to another. Funding is also 

used to support our two, 

major annual benefits that 

celebrate the participants, 

during the year.” 

In addition to knowing 

the funding will go to good 

use, Culp appreciated the 

chance to spread the word 

that the NSSRA is looking 

to find more programming 

staff as well as a new home 

for the Northbrook-based 

organization. 

“I’m telling everyone I 

can that the NSSRA is hiring 

people age 16 years and 

older the we are looking to 

hire more staff to assist our 

growing population,” Cupl 

said. “I’m also excited to 

share that we are looking 

for new space, a place that 

will allow us to provide 

programming on-site for all 

of our participants.”

In Memoriam 

Jack Buffington 

Dr. Jack 

Mortimer 

Buffington, 

94, died on 

Oct. 9, at 

his home in 

Wilmette. 

A member 

of the 

Buffington 

“Greatest Generation,” 

Jack was born Dec. 5, 

1924 in Buhl, Idaho. Later, 

his family moved to Glenwood, 

Iowa, where he resided 

until adulthood. 

While in Glenwood, 

Buffington began his 

school years in a one-room 

schoolhouse. At the age of 

17, in the wake of Pearl 

Harbor, he enlisted in the 

Army Air Corps, becoming 

a first lieutenant. A bomber 

pilot, he commanded the 

B-17, and later, the B-29. 

Throughout his life, Buffington 

valued and reminisced 

about his experiences 

serving his country. 

He experienced the thrill 

of a lifetime in 2015 when 

he took the Honor Flight to 

Washington, D.C. to pay 

his respects to those who 

served in WWII. 

While stationed in Nebraska, 

Buffington had 

his pre-med training at the 

University of Nebraska, 

and later at Iowa State 

University. Thereafter he 

attended the University of 

Nebraska medical school. 

“Introspection” was an 

important value to Buffington 

and he felt that “I 

have to understand myself 

in order to understand others,” 

a value which drew 

him to psychiatry and 

which he sought to inculcate 

in his children. A lifelong 

learner, he attended 

the Chicago Institute for 

Psychoanalysis, graduating 

from the analytic 

program in 1976 and becoming 

affiliated with the 

Institute as a Research Associate, 

Clinical Associate, 

and Continuing Education 

faculty member. He was 

always a valued member 

of the analytic community, 

and contributed a chapter 

titled “Emerging Values 

in a University Community” 

to the volume Late 

Adolescence: Psychoanalytic 

Studies. He authored 

numerous articles, papers, 

and panel presentations 

throughout his career. 

Buffington served as 

Director of Northwestern 

University’s Student Mental 

Health Service from 

1974-1985. From 1970- 

1995, he was also involved 

at Evanston Hospital’s Department 

of Psychiatry in a 

variety of capacities. 

Buffington leaves behind 

his significant companion 

in life for the past 

10 years, Jean Sampson of 

Wilmette and Winnetka. 

Buffington’s greatest enjoyment 

and fondest life 

memories were his children, 

grandchildren and 

great-grandchildren. 

His first wife, Valucha 

de Castro, preceded him in 

death. Together, they had 

three children, Paul (Lori); 

Sandra, her two children, 

Chalo (Eve) and Analucia; 

and Gigi (Steve). Buffington 

was also preceded in 

death by his second wife, 

Babette (Bobbie). She had 

three children, whom he 

adopted and considered 

his own. They are Marilyn 

Langworthy (James); 

Carol Gerner (Philip), 

their sons, Kevin and Brian; 

and Margaret (Margie) 

Guidarelli (Mark) and their 

children, Jack (Brittney) 

and their daughter, Emilia; 

Jenny Guidarelli Ofman 

(Rick) and their daughter, 

Charlotte (Charley); Jeff, 

Joe; and Joanie Hartmann 

(Kevin). 

The memorial service 

will be held at 2 p.m. 

Friday, Oct. 26, at First 

Presbyterian Church of 

Wilmette, 600 9th St., Wilmette, 

(847) 256-3010. A 

reception will follow. 

In lieu of flowers, donations 

may be made in 

Jack’s memory to the Chicago 

Institute for Psychoanalysis, 

122 South Michigan 

Avenue, Suite 1300, 

Chicago, Illinois, 60603 or

choice.

New Trier student competes on ‘American Ninja Warrior Junior’ 

Libby Elliott 


Local fans of the hugely 

popular, five-time Emmy 

nominated “American 

Ninja Warrior” reality 

TV series were thrilled to 

know that on Saturday, 

Oct. 13, Universal Kids 

premiered its spinoff, 

“American Ninja Warrior 

Junior,” featuring nearly 

200 boy and girl Ninjas 

aged 9-14 from across the 

United States. 

They’ll be even more 

excited to know that one 

of the North Shore’s own 

was among the debut 

show’s featured competitors: 

14-year-old New 

Trier freshman, Courtney 

Schumacher. 

A four-sport athlete and 

triple-A hockey player, 

Schumacher, of Winnetka, 

was among thousands of 

applicants selected to faceoff 

on the same iconic obstacle 

course used in the 

original series, competing 

in the 13- and 14-year-old 

aged bracket along with 63 

other elite athletes. 

Schumacher traveled 

to Los Angeles with her 

family for a week last 

July to tape the series’ first 

episode, but kept the news 

under wraps for legal reasons. 

Even after finding out 

last June that her audition 

tape was selected 

from thousands submitted, 

Schumacher had to stay 

mum, divulging the secret 

to just a few members of 

her immediate family, including 

her brother, Teddy, 

12, and sister, Maggie, 7. 

“I was so excited. I wanted 

to tell everyone,” said 

Schumacher, who began 

playing competitive golf, 

basketball, baseball and 

hockey as a first-grader. 

Although Schumacher 

said the experience was 

“incredible,” she still can’t 

divulge specific details 

of the competition until 

“American Ninja Warrior 

Junior” officially airs to 

audiences on Oct. 13. 

Schumacher said she 

started watching “American 

Ninja Warrior” as 

a fifth-grader at Skokie 

School, and was immediately 

hooked on the 

show’s fast-paced, competitive 

action. The young 

athlete was already pushing 

boundaries as one of 

the only girls on her local 

travel baseball team. 

“Courtney has never 

been afraid of the ‘boysonly’ 

thing,” said her mom, 

Allison Schumacher. 

Just 10 years old at the 

time, Schumacher vowed 

to audition for the show 

when she turned 21, the 

show’s minimum age of 

eligibility. When that age 

restriction dropped to 19 

at the beginning of 2018, 

Schumacher felt hopeful. 

“I thought, ‘Great!” 

Schumacher said. “Only 

five more years to go.” 

Schumacher’s parents 

constructed an obstacle 

course in their backyard, 

and began driving her — 

in between hockey practices 

— to training sessons 

at nearby “Ninja”-certified 

gyms. 

“In addition to being a 

gifted athlete, Courtney 

is highly self-motivated,” 

Allison said. “She’ll go 

outside and shoot 100 

hockey pucks or go into 

her room and knock out 15 

pull-ups.” 

Schumacher dedicated 

her “American Ninja 

Warrior Junior” competition 

to her little brother, 

Teddy, who developed a 

brain tumor four years ago 

at age 8. After the tumor 

was successfully removed, 

Teddy developed epilepsy 

and could no longer play 

competitive sports. 

New Trier student Courtney Schumacher (left), 14, competed on “American Ninja 

Warrior Junior.” The episode aired Saturday, Oct. 13. She poses here with Meagan 

Martin, one of the show’s All Star Ninja mentors. Photo Submitted 

Last year, with the help 

of Schumacher’s hockey 

team, Teddy raised thousands 

of dollars for the 

St. Baldrick’s Foundation, 

an organization that funds 

childhood cancer research. 

“Teddy is Courtney’s 

hero,” Allison said. 

In between tapings on 

the Universal Kids set in 

Los Angeles, the Schumachers 

made sure to visit 

Venice’s famous Muscle 

Beach, where Schumacher 

exercised alongside local 

body builders. 

“Being a good Ninja 

is all about upper body 

strength,” Schumacher 

said. “It also helps to 

watch the show on a regular 

basis, so you know 

what’s coming.” 

Last August, Schumacher 

took first place in the 

Teen Female Division of 

a National Ninja League 

competition in Hartland, 

Wisc., a title that now 

qualifies her for the 2019 

World Championship set 

to take place this February 

in Hartford, Conn. 

Schumacher reports that 

she’s still in touch with 

the 63 kids she met on set 

last summer, and that most 

work out with professional 

“Ninja” trainers where 

they live. 

“For many kids, Ninja 

is their sole sport,” Allison 

said. 

The Schumachers hosted 

a small “American Ninja 

Warrior Junior” viewing 

party for close friends and 

family at their home on 

Oct. 13, when the results 

of Courtney’s appearance 

on the show were finally 

revealed. 

That is, until next time. 

“I’ll hope to be on the 

show again when I turn 

19,” Schumacher said.

Jasper’s Cafe menu is ‘large and in charge’ 

Glenview 

restaurant focuses 

on community 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

Jasper’s Cafe originally 

opened in Glenview about 

23 years ago. But, through 

a series of ownership 

changes, the restaurant was 

later changed into Hamilton’s. 

When Chris Kappos 

learned there was an opportunity 

to become owner 

of the original building that 

was in his family years 

ago and turn Hamilton’s 

back into Jasper’s Cafe, he 

jumped at the challenge. 

Six years ago, Kappos 

reopened his family’s restaurant 

and continued the 

tradition of Jasper’s Cafe. 

Kappos has always been 

in the restaurant industry 

and had a vision for what 

Jasper’s Cafe would become. 

He wanted to keep 

most of it the same but really 

hit home the idea of 

being a part of the community. 

“He wanted this to be a 

really cozy place for the 

community, where everyone 

can come to and feel at 

home,” said Pamela Tousis, 

the general manager at Jasper’s 

Cafe. 

Since joining the team 

at Jasper’s two years ago, 

Tousis said everyone is 

friends at the cafe. 

The staff at Jasper’s supports 

the community and is 

constantly giving back and 

donating to local organizations, 

Tousis added. 

“Chris wanted [Jasper’s] 

to be the community restaurant,” 

Tousis said. “He 

is really big about donating 

to everyone that comes in 

and supporting the community. 

We want to make sure 

people know that we are 

Jasper’s pumpkin pancakes are a seasonal favorite for 

a lot of the restaurant’s loyal customers. 

here, that we care and that 

we are here for them.” 

Since its opening, the 

restaurant now welcomes a 

lot of regulars, Tousis said, 

and at any given time, she 

knows 90 percent of the 

people in the restaurant. 

She also added that much 

of the staff at Jasper’s is the 

original staff, which helps 

create a family feel and 

consistent food, which is a 

priority at the restaurant. 

Jasper’s Cafe offers an 

extensive breakfast and 

lunch menu, which Tousis 

said is “large and in 

charge.” 

The food is made fresh 

daily with high-quality 

products, which is part of 

the restaurant’s mission “to 

consistently provide our 

customers with high-quality 

fresh food and deliver impeccable 

service by demonstrating 

warmth, graciousness, 

efficiency, knowledge, 

professionalism and integrity 

to our work.” 

22nd Century Media 

staff stopped into Jasper’s 

to try some of the food, and 

with a large menu, we left 

it up to Tousis to choose 

some fan-favorite menu 

items. 

We could not get enough 

of the fresh strawberry 

crepes ($9.95) dusted in 

powdered sugar. With each 

bite, it is easy to taste the 

freshness of the strawberries, 

and the homemade 

crepes set the dish apart 

Jasper’s Cafe 

1913 N. Waukegan 

Road, Glenview 

6:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. 

daily 

(847) 486-1988 

from the rest. 

We also tried the Iron 

Man omelette ($11.45), 

which is an egg-white omelette 

made with spinach, 

mushrooms and low-fat 

mozzarella cheese. This 

“large and in charge” omelette 

fits perfectly with the 

rest of the menu. 

One unique dish at the 

restaurant is the stuffed 

avocado with chicken 

salad ($10.95). The dish, 

which can also be ordered 

with tuna salad ($11.95), is 

served with tomatoes and a 

mound of cottage cheese, 

fruit and hard-boiled egg. 

If you are an avocado lover 

and looking for a healthier 

option, this is the dish for 

you. 

A great comfort-food 

option is Jasper’s hot turkey 

($9.95), made with 

roast turkey slices on white 

bread smothered in gravy 

and served with homemade 

mashed potatoes and a cup 

of soup. 

The options at Jasper’s 

are endless. Whether customers 

are looking for 

breakfast or lunch items, 

there is sure to be something 

for every type of 

diner.

Athlete of the week 

10 Questions 

with Charlie Forbes 

The senior is a member 

of the New Trier crosscountry 

team 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a meet? 

I try to listen to the same 

playlist of songs before 

every meet. I change it a 

little each season, but it’s 

always a mixture of rock, 

country, and film scores. 

Listening to those songs 

definitely gets me in the 

right mindset to race. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

I would love to go to 

Alaska someday, especially 

to one of the massive 

national parks they have 

there. I think that’s one of 

the places that’s been least 

touched by humanity, so I 

would love to see the rugged 

wilderness and wildlife 

that lives there. 

If you could play any 

other sport, what 

would it be and why? 

I’d want to play golf. I 

love playing it during my 

free time in the summer. It’s 

a great activity that I get to 

do with my family because 

a lot of them play it regularly. 

Unfortunately I’m 

not great at it, but I think it 

would be a lot of fun to play 

more in the future. 

When did you start 

running and why? 

I started running in sixth 

grade because I wanted 

to run in a road race in 

Madison Wisconsin called 

Crazylegs. It’s something 

that my dad and his family 

had done in the past, and 

it seemed really cool, especially 

finishing in Camp 

Randall, the Wisconsin 

Badgers’ football stadium. 

I had to train for it so I 

started running, gradually 

fell in love with the sport, 

and just kept running. 

What’s something on 

your bucket list? 

I want to run all six 

World Marathon Majors. 

I’ve never run a marathon 

before, but that’s definitely 

a goal of mine to do in the 

next few years, and I think 

it would be a great experience 

to run one in six of the 

greatest cities in the world 

on some fantastic courses. 

What’s something that 

is a guilty pleasure? 

I love to eat El Rey 

Lemon Nacho chips. They 

are these tortilla chips with 

this lemon flavored coating 

that is so addictive. It 

has the perfect balance of 

spicy, sour, and sweet that 

makes them irresistible. 

If you won the lottery, 

what would you do 

with the money? 

I would definitely save 

as much as I needed for 

college, and set aside a lot 

for retirement. I would then 

use some on buying a cool 

car, probably the new Tesla 

Roadster that’s coming out 

in a few years, and then 

probably some on season 

tickets for the Milwaukee 

Brewers and Bucks. 

What’s the best part 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

The best part about being 

an athlete at New Trier, and 

specifically on the cross 

country and track teams is 

the amount of people I’ve 

gotten to know. I think we 

have the largest teams in

the state in those sports, 

and so it’s been really easy 

to become friends with a 

lot of people I otherwise 

wouldn’t have. The other 

great thing is the coaching 

staff, who have helped me 

out so much in becoming 

a better runner and more 

importantly a better person 

over the past four years. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

New Trier (athletics or 

otherwise)? 

My favorite moment 

was sectionals in crosscountry 

last year. We 

knew it was going to be a 

close battle in terms of if 

we were going to make it 

to the state meet. Almost 

everyone on our team ran 

well, and everyone battled 

through the finish line and 

picked up spots in the last 

stretch of the race. Our initial 

scoring had the meet 

very close, and ultimately 

we qualified for the state 

meet by one point. It was 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an incredible feeling because 

everyone had trained 

so hard for months to get 

to that point, and to see the 

work pay off in the form 

of qualifying for state was 

awesome. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I’m a massive Green 

Bay Packers fan. I’m one 

of 360,000 Packer shareholders, 

and currently 

number 39,850 on the 

season ticket waiting list. 

Hopefully, I’ll get my tickets 

in the next 50 years.

Football 

Defense leads Loyola to crucial win 

Neil Milbert 


Last week the Loyola 

Academy football team’s 

out-of-character record 

looked like an aberration. 

The Ramblers, who followed 

up their landslide 

35-point victory at De La 

Salle on Oct. 8 with a compelling 

35-3 conquest at St. 

Rita on Saturday, Oct. 13, 

suddenly bear a striking 

resemblance to the teams 

that made it all the way to 

the Class 8A state championship 

game five times in 

the last seven years. 

“We’ve got to keep this 

rolling,” said senior linebacker/tight 

end Armoni 

Dixon, a high impact 

player on both offense and 

defense in the triumph at 

St. Rita that sent Loyola 

into its final regular season 

game against Providence 

(5-3) on Oct. 20 in Hoerster 

Field riding a wave of 

momentum. 

Just as they did against 

De La Salle, the Ramblers 

(5-3) overwhelmed St. 

Rita (2-6) at the outset, 

scoring the first two times 

they had the football and 

surging to a 26-0 lead at 

the half. 

In the first half, the Mustangs 

had only one first 

down. They were held to 

20 yards rushing and their 

highly-rated quarterback, 

Montana State recruit 

Hayden Ekern, was unsuccessful 

in his six passing 

attempts. 

“We were great in the first 

half,” Loyola coach John 

Holecek said. “We came out 

focused and ready. We seem 

to be on an upward trend at 

the right time. 

“With a couple of breaks 

we could be 7-1 but we are 

what we are and we’re getting 

better.” 

Holecek is a proponent 

of two-platoon football but 

he has been using Dixon 

on both sides of the ball. 

“Armoni is an elite player,” 

Holecek said. “He’s a 

big, strong athlete. We use 

him as much as possible.” 

Dixon caught the first 

pass of his high school career 

with 9 minutes, 9 seconds 

elapsed in the opening 

quarter and the 10-yard 

toss from quarterback Jack 

Fallon was good for a 

touchdown. 

“It was a wing rollout 

right and my defender was 

in front of me,” he said, 

beaming with pride. 

On the Ramblers’ next 

possession, Michael 

Gavric put the finishing 

touches on a 13-play, 69- 

yard drive by scoring on a 

seven-yard run.

LOYOLA 14 12 0 7 33 

ST. RITA 0 0 3 0 3 

Top Performers 

1. Jack Fallon, QB – 17-of-23 passing for 187 yards, 11 

rushes, 41 rushing yards, 1 passing touchdown, 1 

rushing touchdown 

2. Armoni Dixon, LB – 10-yard receiving touchdown, 

blocked punt for safety 

3. Nate Van Zelst, K – The kicker connected on four extra 

points and added a field goal as well. 

With eight-and-a-half 

minutes elapsed in the 

second quarter Dixon 

made his big play on defense, 

smashing through 

the St. Rita line to block 

a punt from the end zone 

by Gavin Mottl to give 

the Ramblers a safety that 

made the score 16-0. 

In the closing minutes of 

the quarter the Ramblers 

tallied their third touchdown, 

this one coming on 

Fallon’s 3-yard run. 

St. Rita’s Henry Wilson 

fumbled on the kickoff 

that followed the touchdown 

and defensive back 

Jack Burke recovered at 

the Mustangs’ 21. 

A Fallon-to-Gavric pass 

gave the Ramblers a first 

down at the Mustangs’ 10 

but then the defense stiffened 

and they settled for 

Nate Van Zelst’s 27-yard 

field goal. 

In the third quarter the 

Ramblers lost their gusto 

on offense and the furthest 

they were able to advance 

the ball was their own 23- 

yard line. 

“We executed the game 

plan in the first half but we 

came out flat in the second 

half,” Fallon said. 

The Mustangs, in contrast, 

spent most of the 

third quarter half in Loyola 

territory but all they had to 

show for their dominance 

was Mottl’s 25-yard field 

goal. 

St. Rita stayed on the attack 

in the fourth quarter 

but the Ramblers made 

the biggest play, a 69-yard 

run by Trevor Cabanban, 

who twisted his way 

through the right side of 

the line and then outsprinted 

the secondary to reach 

Loyola’s Armoni Dixon blocks a punt in the end zone 

against St. Rita Saturday, Oct. 13, in Chicago. The play 

would result in a safety. Carlos Alvarez/22nd Century 

Media 

the end zone. 

It was the longest run of 

the season for Loyola. 

Van Zelst followed with 

his fourth extra point kick 

of the game. The surefooted 

sophomore’s field 

goal was his sixth of the 

year. His 42 points make 

him the Ramblers’ leading 

scorer. (Multi-dimensional 

Jared Lombardi and 

star receiver Rory Boos 

are tied for second in the 

scoring statistics with 30 

points apiece.) 

Van Zelst also put on 

a good punting performance, 

averaging 32.2 

yards for his five boots, 

while Eddie Auer excelled 

in the kickoff category, averaging 

55.2 yards on six 

kicks. 

“The only negative was 

the third quarter,” Holecek 

said, “getting those (two) 

holding penalties, and 

making mental mistakes.” 

Dixon thought it was 

significant that even 

though the Mustangs got 

in the red zone a few times 

in the second half they 

never scored a touchdown. 

“Holding them to three 

points was big,” he said. 

“We answered the call.” 

It matched the Ramblers’ 

best defensive effort 

of the season, which came 

when they routed New Trier 

40-3 in Game 2. 

On offense, Fallon followed 

up his best performance 

of the season at De 

La Salle with an equally 

effective game at St. Rita, 

completing 17-of-23 passes 

for 187 yards and carrying 

11 times for 41 yards. 

His primary receiver 

was Artie Collins with 

six catches for 85 yards. 

Gavric and Lombardi each 

contributed three receptions, 

good for 35 and 33 

yards, respectively.

Football 

New Trier falls to Maine South in CSL clash 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

The last time New Trier 

and Maine South faced off 

in Park Ridge, the Trevians 

were ending the Hawks’ remarkable 

77-game Central 

Suburban League winning 

streak. 

Two years later, New 

Trier was hoping to replicate 

the feat when they 

faced off with the Hawks 

on Friday, Sept. 12, in Park 

Ridge. Unfortunately for 

the visitors, the only celebrating 

would be coming 

from the home team, who 

took home a 38-21 victory. 

After allowing the 

Hawks to open the game 

with a five-play, 80-yard, 

minute, 36-second drive 

that resulted in a touchdown, 

the New Trier (6-2) 

defense was able to settle 

down. The Trevians forced 

the Hawks into three consecutive 

three-and-outs, 

keeping the visitors within 

striking distance. 

While the defense was 

doing its part, the offense 

got going toward the end 

of the first quarter, when 

the Trevians drove 80 yards 

in four plays, with the 

big blow being a 54-yard 

touchdown pass from Carson 

Ochsenhirt to Donovan 

Perkins. Perkins made a 

circus catch, broke multiple 

tackles and raced down the 

left sideline to tie the score. 

The next possession 

ended like the one before, 

with another long pass 

from Ochsenhirt to Perkins 

to give the Trevians the 

lead. The 35-yard touchdown 

catch by Perkins was 

his third touchdown catch 

of over 35 in the past two 

weeks, as he had a 71 yard 

score last week as well. 

“We wanted to run the 

ball more in the first half, 

but got the big plays on the

NEW TRIER VS. MAINE SOUTH 

1 2 3 4 F 

NEW TRIER 7 7 7 0 21 

MS 7 9 15 7 38 

Top Performers 

1. Donovan Perkins, RB – receiving touchdowns of 35 and 

54 yards 

2. Cole Dow, MS QB – 103 rushing yards, 2 rushing 

touchdowns, 144 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown 

3. Jimmy Bartell, MS RB – Rushing touchdowns of 4 and 

6 yards 

passes,” New Trier coach 

Brian Doll said. “They 

were loading up on us in 

the run and that’s something 

that we see from 

Maine South; they’re here 

to stop our run game.” 

A turning point seemed 

to be when the Hawks got 

the ball back at the New 

Trier five-yard line on a 

special teams snafu. The 

Trevs punter’s knee hit the 

ground at the five. On the 

next play, quarterback Cole 

Dow ran it in for a touchdown, 

giving the hosts a 

lead they wouldn’t relinquish. 

After a half consisting of 

big plays, the Trevs offense 

became stagnant in the offense, 

punting on three of 

its four second-half possessions. 

“They brought a lot more 

pressure, they were getting 

to me and I would step up 

and run, but wouldn’t have 

time to throw,” Ochsenhirt 

said. 

Meanwhile, Maine 

South was putting points 

on the board, including 

three consecutive possessions, 

which extended the 

team’s 16-14 halftime lead 

to 38-21 midway through 

the fourth quarter. 

The other NT touchdown 

came on a Carson Kosanovich 

91-yard kickoff 

return for a touchdown, 

right after James Bartell 

had scored on a six-yard 

run for the Hawks. NT had 

one really good opportunity 

to score late in the 

fourth quarter when it had 

first-and-goal at the Maine 

South four-yard line, but 

the hosts held the Trevs out 

of the end zone, including 

third and fourth down runs 

from the one-yard-line and 

closer.

Snow can’t stop local teams at golf state finals 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

This season has been one 

of the more successful ones 

for the Loyola boys golf 

team. 

A year after winning 

both the regional and the 

sectional in the same year 

for the first time, the Ramblers 

pulled off another first 

in 2018: winning the Catholic 

League, the regional 

and the sectional. 

“That’s something that’s 

never been done at Loyola 

and I’m really proud of 

that,” Loyola coach Tim 

Kane said. “This team 

didn’t look at any challenge 

as being something they 

couldn’t overcome. They 

were a resilient team, never 

made excuses. They just 

quietly went about their 

business.” 

The Ramblers were hoping 

to ride that momentum 

into the state finals Friday- 

Saturday, Oct. 12-13 in 

Bloomington. However, 

one thing stood in Loyola’s 

way: the weather. 

“Usually, tournaments 

they never cancel, they never 

wipe out an entire round, 

it’s just usually a delay,” 

said Loyola’s Peter Radler, 

who was named All-State 

for the second consecutive 

season after his fifth-place 

finish. “The snow had accumulated 

on the green so 

we thought there would be 

a delay, especially since the 

snow started to melt and 

you could see the greens. 

“It was really disappointing 

because I was playing 

one of the best rounds I’d 

ever had.” 

At the time of the IHSA’s 

decision to cancel the first 

day, and erase all of the 

first day’s scores, Loyola 

was ahead in the team competition, 

with a combined 

score of plus-1, 6 strokes 

ahead of second-place Barrington. 

In addition, Radler 

had been tied for first place 

with a 2-under-par. 

With the tournament 

now being a one-day event, 

Kane had some words of 

wisdom for his players after 

Friday’s decision. 

“We talked about refocusing, 

not making any 

excuses and going out and 

playing the golf we know 

we’re capable of playing,” 

Kane said. “They seemed 

“I brought my wife home from the 

hospital after surgery— 

Bratschi Plumbing quickly installed 

safety grab bars without a lot of fuss!” 

— Bratschi Customer 

Make Every Bath 

a Safe Bath 

to take it in stride and they 

didn’t agree with the decision, 

obviously they were 

very disappointed, but one 

of the things I let them 

know is they’re not a team 

of excuses and they had not 

all year.” 

The Ramblers went out 

on the course on Saturday 

and shot a 16-over-par, finishing 

in fifth place, seven 

strokes behind Hinsdale 

Central, which won its seventh 

state title in a row. 

“Coming back the next 

day after that was hard,” 

Radler said. “You want 

to do the same thing you 

did the day before, but 

you know it’s going to be 

tougher to do what you just 

did. Golf is so hard because 

you’re standing around, 

thinking for a long time but 

you have to get that out of 

your mind.” 

Other scorers for Loyola 

included Jack Crawshaw 

(75, 18th place), Christopher 

Lee (78) and Ryan Savarie 

(79). 

New Trier, which will 

return the top five scorers 

from this year’s state team, 

finished in ninth. Daniel 

Tanaka led the way in ninth 

place with a 73. Charlie 

Creamean (75, 18th), Brian 

Joseph (80) and Sam Weber 

(84) also scored for the 

Trevs. 

North Shore Country Day 

didn’t have as great of an 

experience in the Raiders’ 

first trip downstate as a team 

since 2014. NSCD finished 

in eighth place, led by Eli 

Sherman, who hit an 84. 

Girls golf 

The 2018 girls golf season 

marked the end of one 

of the best careers in New 

Trier girls golf history. 

Defending state champion 

Penelope Tir helped lead 

the Trevians downstate yet 

again as the Trevians and 

Tir were looking to defend 

their state crowns. 

Unfortunately, neither 

came to fruition, as Tir finished 

her magnificent career 

in fourth place, shooting 

a +3 over the two-day 

tournament and the Trevs 

finishing in fourth after 

shooting a combined +51. 

Despite the fourth-place 

finish, Tir became the first 

New Trier girls golfer to 

medal in each of her four 

years of high school golf. 

Loyola’s Peter Radler poses with his medal after the 

state golf meet Saturday, Oct. 13, in Bloomington.

honors for the second consecutive season. PHOTO

“Four years in a row in 

the top 10 in the state. Penni 

is one of the best we’ve 

even seen here at NT,” 

New Trier coach Scott 

Fricke said 

Like the boys, the girls 

state title had its own bout 

of crazy weather but was 

able to get both rounds of 

play in. Lizzie Kenter was 

also a top-20 finisher, tying 

for 19th place with a 

two-day total of 155. 

Loyola also qualified as 

a team and finished two 

spots behind New Trier in 

the standings. The sixthplace 

finish was the highest 

since 2015, when the 

Ramblers took second. 

Leading the way for 

Loyola in 13th place was 

Lilly Gentzkow, who shot 

a two-day 152, two strokes 

out of a top-10 finish. Junior 

Mary Boesen tied for 

27th after shooting a 159. 

NSCD made some history 

of its own, as it qualified 

a golfer, Caroline 

Gray, for the first time in 

the program’s two-year 

history. Gray impressed 

as well, finishing tied for 

25th after shooting a 165.

Lake Forest was looking 

to avenge its only 

loss of the season to an Illinois 

team in its recent 

battle against New Trier. 

The Scouts had homefield 

advantage for the 

Oct. 10 game and went up 

2-0 on the Trevians. But, 

it wouldn’t be a battle between 

the No. 1 and No. 2 

teams in Illinois unless the 

game ended in a six-round 

shootout, and that’s what 

happened. 

New Trier once again 

came away with the win, 

5-4, when sophomore 

Kathryn McLaughlin bested 

Scouts sophomore keeper 

Elsa Goldsberry and the 

Scouts couldn’t best Emmaliese 

Lauber in the next 

attempt.

Lake Forest’s coach. “And 

that’s the thing, it’s just one 

of those things where it’s 

one versus two – and the 

fact that both times we’ve 

played them it’s been to a 

shootout – it only goes to 

say it’s going to be a fun

The first half of the game 

was paced by Lake Forest, 

and with 22 minutes, 

46 seconds left in the half 

Madden Plante put the 

Scouts ahead with the first 

goal of the game. New 

Trier struggled to maintain 

possession during that 

half, and when they did, 

the Scouts turned it over 

almost immediately. With

said McLaughlin in what 

changed the second half 

for her team. “I think we

Both teams had an opportunity 

to win the game 

outright in the last twoand-a-half 

minutes of the 

second half but both Goldsberry 

and Lauber kept the 

game going. 

The first 10-minute overtime 

ended in a 1-1 tie, with 

a first goal by Lake Forest’s 

Logan Hanekamp and then 

New Trier’s Evelyn Lake 

scored on a corner with no 

time left to push the game 

to a second overtime. The 

second overtime ended in a
