Northbrook community comes out for Autumnfest 

Hilary Anderson 

Freelance Reporter 

The fall season is a favorite 

time of year for 

many in Northbrook. 

And one reason why 

is the Northbrook Park 

District’s annual Autumn 

Festival, held Saturday, 

Oct. 13, at Meadowhill 

Park. 

The event continues to 

have much to offer and 

brings the community 

closer together. 

Northbrook families 

and friends began streaming 

into the park area soon 

after it started. Mother 

Nature helped by gracing 

the community with 

a cool but warmer day, no 

rain, or threat of it and total 

sunshine. 

“We estimate there 

were more than a thousand 

people here at the 

Meadowhill Park for the 

Autumn Festival,” said 

Katie Kotloski, of the 

Northbrook Park District. 

“The parking areas were 

almost completely full all 

afternoon.” 

There was much to see 

and do, including many 

new attractions. 

A seven-foot scarecrow 

greeted guests as they 

walked in and graciously 

stood still for photos. 

A special photo area featuring 

items of the season 

— cornstalks, pumpkins, 

gourds and bales of hay — 

arranged artfully so guests 

could sit and capture their 

memories of the day. 

Across the field were inflatables 

including a huge 

haunted house. The long 

line to enter the haunted 

house was similar to one 

for free popcorn from 

the old-fashion popcorn 

wagon, courtesy of Sunset 

Foods. 

Waiting outside was a 

long line of youngsters 

wanting to make that trip 

into the haunted house 

plus others who already 

had done so. 

Not far from the haunted 

house was the balloon 

man who knew how to 

make huge spiders with 

a big body and legs to 

match it. 

“This balloon man is 

the best I have ever seen,” 

said Tom Huske, who was 

holding his daughter Aubrey’s 

black spider along 

with a sword. 

There was a pumpkin 

patch where youngsters 

chose the perfect pumpkin, 

decorating it at a 

nearby tent and making it 

an official jack-o-lantern. 

The best-decorated pumpkin 

at the end of the festival 

received a prize. Harry 

Hsu won first place in the 

pumpkin decorating contest. 

Close to the pumpkin 

patch area, guests obtained 

the necessary items 

to toast marshmallows 

by the bonfire and make 

s’mores. 

“Roasting marshmallows 

is the greatest thing 

ever,” said Mason Friedman, 

7. “I like s’mores.” 

His sister, Braedyn, 

9, put part of a s’mores 

into her mouth and could 

barely talk with the melted 

marshmallow she was 

eating. 

“This Northbrook Autumn 

Festival is great,” 

said Marcy Friedman, 

their grandmother who 

brought them to the event. 

“The kids are having fun 

and it is a blast.” 

The microphone crackled 

and two witches, 

dressed appropriately for 

the occasion, announced 

they were about to start

Jack, and Sam Sweas, of Northbrook, smile with their 

pumpkins. 

another story time. 

The witches, Heather 

Benveniste and Holly 

Weis, sisters who both 

grew up in Northbrook, 

have done park district 

shows for the community. 

They volunteered to be 

storytellers for the event. 

“We both went to Glenbrook 

North,” said Weis, 

an opthamologist by day. 

“This kind of event 

brings everyone together,” 

said Benveniste, a 

lawyer when not performing. 

“This event is so awesome.” 

Another crowd attraction 

was the reptile show. 

Also popular among the 

youngsters were the crafts. 

Face-painting still held 

its popularity as was evident 

by those in line waiting 

their turn. 

Families gather around the campfire. 

Abby Andrews, 11, tried 

the new Pumpkin Chuckin 

game. It involved using 

a big, person-size sling 

shot and seeing how far 

one could “fling” a small 

pumpkin or gourd. 

A traditional ride on the 

hay wagon was a must 

and enjoyed by all who 

climbed aboard. 

A relatively new game, 

Pumpkin Soccer, attracted 

a crowd of its own — and it 

quickly was one of the most 

sought-after activities. 

Michael Schyman, a 

Northbrook Park District 

board member, enjoyed 

the game’s fun nature with 

his son, Ari. 

“I love seeing the kids 

having fun,” Schyman 

said. “This Fall Festival 

event provides a great experience 

for everyone.”

Police Reports 

Jewelry stolen from 2 Northbrook residences in 6-hour span 

Greebo, Nora and Bella 

The Gutman Family, of Northbrook 

These three lovable kittens were all 

adopted from Orphans of the Storm in 

December of 2016. The Gutman family 

went to the shelter to find 2 cats 

and came home with 3 because Nora, 

the smallest, came and sat between 

Luci Gutman’s feet, so she could not 

easily leave the room holding Greebo. 

Luci thought, Nora must have loved 

her, but found she was tightly bonded 

to Greebo. 

Bella, the slightly older and wiser 

sister is sweet and tolerant with both 

of them.

From Oct. 9 

Helicopter lands at 

Northbrook school 

to transport burn 

victim to hospital 

Martin Carlino, Editor 

A Flight for Life helicopter 

landed at approximately 

11:26 a.m. Oct. 9 at Northbrook’s 

Field Middle School 

to transport a burn victim in 

the area to a local hospital, according 

to school officials. 

Per Northbrook Fire Chief 

Andrew Carlson, the Northbrook 

Fire Department was 

called to Longvalley Drive 

just before 11 a.m. for a burn 

victim. 

“Crews were directed to an 

elderly male in the backyard 

of a residence with severe 

burns that appeared to be the 

result of an accident while doing 

yard work,” Carlson told 

The Tower in an email. 

According to District 31 

Superintendent Dr. Alexandra 

Nicholson, local officials 

requested to use the school’s 

field to transport the subject 

from a ground ambulance to 

a helicopter. 

Nicholson confirmed the 

burn victim was not any of 

the school’s students or staff 

members. 

“It had nothing to do with 

the school,” she told The Tower. 

“No students or staff were 

injured, but we allowed them 

to use our property to transport 

this person.” 

The burn victim was transported 

to a nearby burn center 

in Maywood, Carlson said. 

The cause and circumstances 

are still under investigation.

M/I Homes, also hopes to 

build a private, two-way 

drive connecting the various 

buildings on the 11- 

acre property. 

M/I Homes would demolish 

the existing onestory 

office building and 

replace it with a planned 

development consisting 

of 18 townhome buildings 

with three to seven units 

each. The development 

would include multiple 

individual driveways, plus 

seven guest parking space 

divided into two locations. 

According to the board 

packet, “The R-8 district is 

predominantly intended to 

provide a suburban environment 

for development 

utilizing various residential 

building types, including 

multiple family dwellings, 

which may result in 

higher densities than in 

single-family developments.” 

As proposed, the 86 

units situated on 11.14 

acres of land would result 

in a density of 7.7 units per 

acre. 

The townhomes would 

Eighty-six townhomes could be replacing the current corporate offices for Maurice Sporting Goods to the east 

of Techny and Shermer Roads. Village Trustees first heard the proposal on Tuesday, Oct. 9. Rendering Courtesy 

of the Village of Northbrook 

appear to be two-stories 

tall from the front, but 

would be three-stories 

high from the rear facade. 

There would also be various 

models with different 

interior floor plans. 

Specifically, units would 

have either two or three 

bedrooms and would range 

in size from 1,810 to 2,350 

square feet. The three-story 

units would not exceed 

35 feet in height and the 

facades would use a combination 

of architectural 

shingles, brick and stone. 

The townhome units 

would cost approximately 

$400,000-500,000. 

“I think this is nice development 

at that location,” 

Trustee Karagianis 

said. “I think townhomes 

are a good idea there. Part 

of what’s fueling that is the 

idea that we’ll get more 

population density closer 

to downtown and that will 

assist the health of our 

downtown businesses.” 

But, Karagianis finished 

his assessment by asking 

the Northbrook Plan Commission 

to look at the proposed 

development’s density, 

consider the height 

of the buildings relative to 

the distance between them 

to avoid a “canyon effect,” 

and see if the private drive 

could be converted into a 

public roadway owned and 

maintained by the Village. 

Trustee A.C. Buehler 

III agreed with Karagianis’s 

recommendations but 

voiced confidence that the 

Plan Commission could 

work through those details 

with the developer. 

Trustee Kathryn Ciesla 

also voiced concern about 

density but then showed 

some support for the plan’s 

private roadway because 

the Village would be off 

the hook for maintenance 

costs, arguing that “to 

extent that the Village of 

Northbrook doesn’t have 

to incur that added expense, 

the better for us.” 

She wasn’t as supportive 

about the number of 

guest parking spots. 

“I don’t think parking is 

adequate at all with seven 

additional spaces,” she 

said. “That’s really not 

even a starter for me, so 

the developer will have to 

do a lot better in my mind.” 

Trustee Robert Israel 

also worried about the proposed 

density, but mostly 

because of its potential effect 

on stormwater retention 

and flooding. 

Trustee Muriel Collison 

was the fifth-straight trustee 

to worry about the density, 

but she spent most of 

her time discussing the implications 

of having only 

seven guest parking spots. 

“If you’re talking about 

two or three bedrooms 

and 86 units, and that’s 

presumably going to have 

families and kids with 

friends and parties, it’s 

nowhere near enough for 

me,” she said. 

She also brought up the 

traffic concerns that could 

arise with adding a housing 

development so close 

to the railroad tracks, 

which already slow passing 

vehicles. 

The development’s biggest 

criticism came from 

Trustee Jason Han, who 

doesn’t believe the property 

should be rezoned, 

which would immediately 

kill the proposal. 

“I think it should stay 

R-1,” he said. “I drive 

down Techny Road at least 

four to five times a week 

[and] I would comment 

on traffic. Just to the east 

of the development is that 

iconic underpass where the 

trains go through and it’s 

a bottleneck. … It seems 

[Maurice Sporting Goods] 

was a great tenant there 

and it would be great to 

keep it industrial or commercial.” 

Village President Sandy 

Frum voiced overall support 

for the proposal, especially 

considering that the 

development wouldn’t require 

any variations other 

than the private drive. She 

also praised the price of 

the units. 

“I also think what is attractive 

about this is the 

price point, which no one 

has talked about,” she 

said. “And when we see 

the kinds of houses being 

built in Northbrook 

in other places, and we’re 

talking about milliondollar 

homes, it’s really 

nice to see homes that are 

looking at coming in at 

the [$400,000-500,000] 

range. And its important 

to acknowledge that as 

you drop units, you go up 

in price. So sometimes we 

need to trade off.” 

The board will reassess 

the proposal at a future 

meeting after the Plan 

Commission gives its assessment.

Northbrook workers to gain paid sick leave in 2019

Last summer, Northbrook 

workers watched 

from the sideline as some 

of their neighbors secured 

paid sick leave and a higher 

minimum wage through 

a Cook County ordinance. 

Cape Models

About 15 months later, 

they claimed victory on 

the first front. 

The Northbrook Village 

Board voted 6-1 on 

Tuesday, Oct. 9, to negate 

its 2017 decision to sidestep 

the county’s paid sick 

leave ordinance, which 

states that employees are

that they have a clean slate 

to begin tracking hours. 

“I’m very happy to have 

this vote this evening,” 

Trustee Muriel Collison 

said. “Obviously it’s something 

I’m very proud of and 

I feel it only continues my 

long-held belief that Northbrook 

is the very best place 

to live and raise a family 

and work. I’m hopeful that 

other communities will follow 

our lead and consider 

opting into this ordinance. 

... I really feel passionately 

about this and I hope employers 

will look past the 

dollars and cents and really 

see the value of having 

employees who know their 

health and wellness, and 

the health and wellness of 

their families, matter.” 

Trustee A.C. Buehler, 

who cast the lone dissenting 

vote, chose not to speak 

following the decision, but 

during the board’s previous 

meeting, he argued 

that the Village should 

avoid “regulating certain 

types of employee activity 

within businesses.” 

“I don’t think it’s the 

Village’s purview to get 

involved in this,” he said. 

“I still think the state 

needs to take the lead on 

this, whether they’re doing 

it or whether they’re 

not. I think it’s a dangerous 

precedent for the Village 

... It’s something we 

haven’t done before and 

I’m not really ready to go 

down that path.” 

No one from the public 

spoke for or against the ordinance. 

In May 2017, Collison 

and Jason Han were the 

only trustees to vote in favor 

of the paid sick leave 

ordinance. Only Han voted 

to adopt Cook County’s

vote this evening. Obviously

I’m hopeful that other communities 

will follow our lead and

—Northbrook Village Trustee Muriel Collison 

on her decision to support the village reapplying 

Cook County’s paid sick leave ordinance.

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 

Tower. “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.”

Northbrook resident pioneers home maintenance internet company 

Neil Milbert 


Northbrook’s Allen Shulman 

believes we’re all in this together. 

He has put his philosophy 

of life into practice by starting 

DwellSocial, an internet company 

that is a vehicle for connecting 

with friends and neighbors 

for an easier, less-stressful and 

more cost-effective way of getting 

things done. 

DwellSocial specializes in 

home maintenance. 

“We believe DwellSocial can 

fundamentally change the way 

people think about taking care 

of their homes,” said Shulman, 

who left Angie’s List to partner 

with his co-founders, Highland 

Park’s Mike Cerna, and Daniela 

Tomas, of Chicago, in the summer 

of 2017. 

“We all have to do the same 

things to properly maintain our 

homes. When we do it on our 

own there’s the pain in the rear 

end factor. DwellSocial lets us 

do all the things we need to do 

together.” 

DwellSocial membership is 

free for consumers, while contractors 

pay $25 monthly. When 

you log onto dwellsocial.com 

you’ll see a menu of what Shulman 

calls “open groups” that 

show what neighbors are doing 

with regard to home maintenance. 

Currently, there are 

18 groups on the North Shore 

from Evanston to Lake Bluff 

but most of the members are 

from Highland Park, Deerfield, 

Northbrook and Glenview. 

“Click the group you want 

and you’re in,” Shulman said. 

“You’ll see which contractors 

are recommended. Right now 

if you went to dwellsocial.com 

you’d see there is a tree-trimming 

group, a carpet-cleaning 

group, a gutter-cleaning group, 

a window washing-group, a 

new-carpet installation group 

and a sewer-routing group. 

“We provide a platform for 

contractors. Once they’re on 

the platform they have access 

to the groups. They can get five 

jobs in one, eight jobs in one, 10 

jobs in one, which is why they 

can give the discount. “We find 

great contractors and provide 

them with opportunities they 

can’t find anywhere else. When 

people recommend a contractor 

we let the contractor know.” 

Before launching DwellSocial, 

Shulman, Cerna and Tomas 

all had a wealth of experience 

that they acquired by working 

with contractors and working 

for firms offering discounts. 

Shulman’s father was a professor 

at Michigan State University 

and he grew up in East 

Lansing, Mich. before going to 

college at the University of California/San 

Diego. 

However, he had grandparents 

from Chicagoland and after 

college he came to the area to 

learn the construction business 

by working for his father’s firm, 

Red Seal Homes. He met his future 

wife Debby, a Northbrook 

native who went to Glenbrook 

North and they settled in Northbrook. 

“I enjoyed working for Red 

Seal but I felt passionate about 

doing something on my own,” 

he said. “I started NorthStar 

Homes and was a custom builder 

all over the North Shore for 

15 years. That’s where I started 

interacting with contractors and 

working with home owners and 

learning what they don’t understand 

about taking care of their 

homes. 

“Based on my experience 

with NorthStar Homes, I founded 

the Internet (home maintenance) 

company BrightNest in 

2010. We helped people know 

what they should do, when they 

should do it and how to do it. 

We would provide that information 

based on where they lived 

in the country and customized 

a digest for them that came out 

every Friday at 9 a.m.” 

In 2013 Angie’s List — which 

refers home owners to plumbers, 

roofers, electricians, heating 

and air-conditioning firms, 

Northbrook resident Allen Shulman started DwellSocial, a home 

maintenance internet company. Photo Submitted 

“We believe DwellSocial can fundamentally 

change the way people think 

about taking care of their homes. We 

all have to do the same things to properly 

maintain our homes. When we do 

it on our own there’s the pain in the 

rear end factor. DwellSocial lets us do 

all the things we need to do together.” 

-Northbrook resident Allen Shulman on DwellSocial, 

a home-maintenance company he and two co-founders 

started. 

painters, plumbers, remodelers 

and other home maintenance 

specialists — acquired Bright- 

Nest. Shulman stayed on as an 

employee for four years “learning 

about the business and trying 

to help consumers.” 

“I realized in 2017 that even 

though Angie’s List and all of 

its competitors were out there 

people still weren’t taking better 

care of their homes,” he said. 

“They only went to Angie’s List 

when something went wrong. I 

decided to start DwellSocial because 

I understood the power of 

recommendations from people 

we know and trust. We needed 

to drop the pain in the rear factor 

to the point where people 

couldn’t help being a good 

home owner. 

“That’s when I met Mike and 

realized he was the perfect partner.” 

The Highland Park entrepreneur 

is both an architect and a 

software developer. 

Cerna said his first major Internet 

endeavor came in 2006 

when he was co-founder of thepoint.com, 

a social collective 

empowerment site. 

“It had lots of facets, like 

getting new parks in neighborhoods,” 

the Chicagoland native 

said. “It rose and fell and 

in 2008 I pivoted to Groupon 

(as one of its founding fathers) 

and it exploded (in popularity). 

After Groupon, I worked 

on several other projects with 

my friend, Jim Sayegh (a Chicago 

real estate developer). 

We started glosser.com, doing 

something similar to BrightNest 

but with a different angle. It was 

about what you can do to show 

off your home. 

“Most people show their assets 

on Linked In and Facebook 

but they almost never show off 

their home which is their biggest 

financial asset. There was 

a problem with photography 

rights so we abandoned that effort. 

Right after that I was thinking 

about what would be next 

and someone introduced me to 

Allen.” 

Tomas was the next to join the 

DwellSocial management team. 

“I worked with her at Angie’s 

List and she was a rock star,” 

Shulman said. “Her expertise is 

working with the best contractors 

in the country and based on 

that experience she helped Mike 

and I formulate the DwellSocial 

concept. We raised $780,000, 

mostly from local firms. About 

four months ago we hired another 

computer technology engineer, 

Joe Harrow, of Chicago, 

who had worked with Mike as 

one of the leaders at Groupon. 

“Then, we hired a part-time 

employee out of Denver, John 

Feustel, who was at Groupon 

early, and went from being an 

engineer to being a programmer.” 

Although there currently are 

only four full-timers and one 

part-timer at DwellSocial, Shulman 

and Cerna believe they’re 

on the cusp of something big. 

“The web-site that we have 

has the power to revolutionize 

an entire segment of the Internet,” 

Shulman said. “The company 

that acquired Angie’s List 

released a survey about a year 

ago that said 90 percent of all 

professional referrals are still 

done off line. 

“We’re looking to raise $1.5 

million to $2 million so that 

in the course of the next year 

we can expand from the North 

Shore to the Chicago metropolitan 

area at which point we’ll 

likely get the attention of a lot 

of investors and be able to go 

nationwide and worldwide. The 

power of this concept works 

anywhere people live together.”

Although Glenbrook 

North graduate Noah 

Weisberg is in the midst of 

his starring role in “Charlie 

and the Chocolate Factory,” 

he still considers returning 

to his alma mater a 

priority. 

The former Spartan returned 

to GBN Thursday, 

Oct. 11 to speak with current 

GBN students, answer 

their questions and share 

pieces of his advice. 

Weisberg, who has already 

performed in four 

different Broadway productions, 

is currently performing 

the role of Willy 

Wonka in the production. 

The show is currently running 

at Chicago’s Oriental 

Theatre, and plays through 

Oct. 21. 

The show is under the 

direction of three-time 

Tony Award-winner, Jack 

O’Brien, and boasts a cast 

filled with Broadway experience. 

Current GBN students 

had two chances to visit 

with Weisberg on Oct. 11, 

both nearly an hour long. 

Students — some interested 

in pursuing music, some 

interested in performing 

arts — asked Weisberg for 

advice on making it in the 

tough industry. 

Weisberg encouraged 

student to give 100 percent 

in whatever path they decide 

to pursue and said to 

never get discouraged by 

rejection, because it has 

often happened to him. 

“For every one role I do 

get, I probably hear no 99 

other times,” he told the 

students. 

A group of GBN students 

will even get the 

chance to see Weisberg 

perform in the production

live before it moves onto 

its next stop. The chance to 

perform in his hometown, 

in front of his friends and 

family, is something Weisberg 

truly cherishes. 

“It’s been great — the 

audiences in Chicago have 

been really great and they 

seem to be responding really 

well and it’s really 

nice every night to come 

out of the stage door and 

not just see family but see 

friends,” he said “I grew 

up seeing shows at the Oriental 

Theatre, where we’re 

doing the show, so to look 

out at those very seats that 

I sat in as a kid, it’s pretty 

awe-inspiring.” 

Tickets for productions 

of the show are still available 

and can be purchased 

online at Broadway in Chicago’s 

website.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Man rescued from capsized 

boat at Winnetka’s 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.” 

Crews attempted to upright 

the boat, which was 

an 18-foot catamaran, after 

the man was brought to 

safety, Berkowsky said. 

“Unfortunately, [the 

boat] was caught in the 

sand and it was caught in 

the water, so we had to 

leave the boat as is,” he 

said, adding the strong 

southwest winds were “deceiving” 

from the shoreline. 

The boat, which eventually 

sank, will be salvaged 

by a company that works 

on Lake Michigan in the 

coming days. 

The boater didn’t suffer 

any injuries from the incident.

NBJH musicians audition for 

state honor band 

Six Northbrook Junior High 

musicians recently auditioned 

for the ILMEA District 7 Honor 

Band. These students put in 

many extra hours to prepare the 

audition material, and deserve 

commendation for being among 

the top musicians in northern Illinois. 

Preparing to audition for this 

festival is a great learning experience, 

and acceptance is a true 

achievement. This year Caroline 

Gross, seventh grade, clarinet, 

was selected to perform in the 

Honor Band. 

Others who auditioned include 

Christina Peters, Anna Huelke, 

Natalie Hong, Abby Reese, Nate 

Muhl. 

More than 500 students from 

61 schools strive to be selected 

for this prestigious concert band. 

The ILMEA District 7 Junior 

Festival features a 150-piece ensemble 

of the finest junior high 

musicians in the Northeastern Illinois 

area. 

The ILMEA District 7 Honor 

Band rehearses and performs together 

once, all on the same day! 

On Saturday, Nov. 3, selected 

students will meet at Wauconda 

High School to work with a special 

guest conductor and then 

perform a concert at 2 p.m.

The Walk for Wescott School 

is the PTO’s biggest fundraiser, 

and all students participated 

during the school day on Oct. 

3. Students were encouraged to 

collect donations from family 

and friends for the activity. The 

funds will be used to supplement 

the school’s budget. This year 

the PTO is working to add equipment 

to the playground. In addition, 

ten percent of the donations 

were directed to Cal’s Angels, 

a Chicagoland pediatric cancer 

foundation at calsangels.org

While giving back to the 

school and community, students 

also had the opportunity to win 

prizes. Top earners won event 

tickets, and one winner was chosen 

to serve as "Principal for the 

Day." All students who collected 

donations were eligible for a 

big-ticket raffle. 

Working together, students 

had the chance to win extra recess 

or physical education classes, 

and/or Popsicle parties for 

their whole class. 

An awards and recognition 

assembly took place on Oct. 10 

in the gymnasium. The crossing 

guards honored were: Lorraine 

Kroll, Vince Scorsone and Lee 

Wilson. Awards were presented 

to student raffle and fundraiser 

winners. The Helping Hands 

Committee announced that over 

600 pairs of shoes were collected 

between October 1-5, and then 

donated to the Share Your Soles 

organization. 

Megan Brooks was thanked 

for helping to organize another 

successful Walk to School Day. 

The Wescott PTO Co-Presidents 

Michelle King and Christie Hartbarger 

expressed their appreciation 

to students, parents and 

faculty for their support of the

A 

few weeks back, 

we here at The 

Northbrook Tower 

introduced our annual 

Great Pumpkin Contest.

right around the corner, 

what better way to showcase

always be grateful for your 

unyielding commitment to 

the sport and to our event. 

Thank you.” 

The Glencoe Grand Prix 

began in 2007, attracting 

more than 500 elite and 

novice bicyclists and thousands 

of bystanders to the 

Village of Glencoe every 

summer. More importantly, 

it has raised more than 

$250,000 for the Glencoe 

Educational Foundation, 

Metrick said. 

“Our mission was to 

fund high-end technology 

for the (Glencoe) school 

district,” Metrick added. 

“That is how the [Glencoe 

Educational Foundation] 

was founded 15 to 16 

years ago. ... We [funded] 

all the smartboards, all 

the teacher laptops in the 

jack-o’-lantern? 

As we have done with 

similar contests, such as 

the family vacation contest 

and the Father’s Day 

photo contest, the winning 

entry will be featured in 

The Tower. 

To get into the spirit 

of Halloween, us editors 

here at 22nd Century 

Media tested out our own 

pumpkin-carving skills 

last week. With not much 

pumpkin-carving experience 

under my belt, I 

would have to say I was 

proud of the finished 

pumpkin that myself and 

Glenview Lantern editor 

Jason Addy worked on. 

A picture of our pumpkin 

(left center) can be seen to 

the side of this editorial. 

But, neither myself 

or Jason is a resident of 

school, and now they have 

their own budget. From 

the GEF standpoint, we 

did it.” 

Without the need to fund 

the technology budget gap 

in District 35, the foundation 

will call for donations 

“one or two times a year” 

for sister school partnerships, 

Metrick said. There 

will also be revamping of 

the foundation board and 

its mission.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette Park Board 

opposes elimination of 

10th hole at Canal Shores 

The Wilmette Park 

Board signaled its opposition 

to an easement request 

that would eliminate 

the 10th hole of the Canal 

Northbrook, so we cannot 

submit our pumpkin. 

With that sentiment, 

The Tower is looking for 

Northbrook residents to 

share your best jack-o’- 

lantern with us. 

There is no limit to what 

your pumpkin can be. The 

only restriction is that the 

carver of the pumpkin 

must reside in Northbrook 

and the pumpkin must be 

decorated this year. 

To accommodate those 

who save pumpkincarving 

festivities for All 

Hallow’s Eve, the deadline 

for the photos is noon 

Friday, Nov. 2, so you still 

have a couple of weeks 

left to submit.

Fall play a glimpse into life’s relationships 

Sarah Haider 


Love played out on 

stage at Glenbrook North’s 

production of “Almost, 

Maine” Oct. 11-13 at The 

Sheely Center for the Performing 

Arts. 

The show gives a 

glimpse into moments of 

life and human relationships 

through eight vignettes 

occurring between 

8:50-9:00 p.m. in the fictional 

town of Almost, 

Maine, on the night of the 

Aurora Borealis. 

“I like to say that if you 

take love, relationships 

and you shoot it through 

a prism and you break it 

up into its possible component 

parts, that’s what’s 

being explored in this story,” 

director Gerald Nevin 

said. “Some of them are 

very funny and some make 

you cry. All of them have a 

surprise element where the 

characters come to an extraordinary 

life-changing 

event, a direction-changing 

event that is usually 

brought forth in the form 

of a surprise.” 

The eight scenes include 

a new romance forming 

after love lost, the longing 

and conflict between a relationship 

left in the past, 

a marriage proposal, and 

a love that can never be. 

Each scene features twoto-three 

actors exploring 

the fine details of the ups 

and downs of what a life 

with love entails. 

“It’s given them a better 

opportunity to do very indepth 

scene work than a lot 

of them have had,” Nevin 

said. “It’s been extraordinary 

to watch them devour 

and grow with it. They do 

a lot of productions here 

and they do very good 

work, but ... it’s a different 

level of what is expected. 

We have 17 actors and 

they all are in an important 

play and the story couldn’t 

be told without them. They 

are not expendable and it’s 

a good feeling to have.” 

Nevin has worked at 

GBN as speech coach for 

more than seven years. 

Now in his first director 

role at the school, Nevin 

brought years of professional 

directing and acting 

experience to the popular 

play. 

The play takes place 

on a smaller, bare-boned 

theatre-in-the-round stage, 

where audiences sit on the 

school’s main stage for an 

intimate performance. For 

Nevin, who is a Feldenkrais 

practitioner, studying 

the way humans move 

through space, students 

were taught to use their 

bodies as their tool to act 

from every angle. 

“It’s just the two people 

on stage,” student director 

Abigail Tzinberg said. 

“There is more of an intimate 

relationship and they 

really needed to figure 

out their chemistry. They 

have really made an effort 

to get to know their scene 

partners and they have all 

been really enthusiastic 

about watching the show. 

Everyone has been pretty 

fantastic throughout this 

process.” 

Actors rehearsed for 

six weeks, preparing their 

segmented scenes twice 

a week when Nevin and 

Tzinberg would alternate 

as director. 

Treating the play as 

eight individual parts allowed 

flexibility in rehearsal 

schedules for many 

of the actors to simultaneously 

take part in GBN’s 

student-run one-act plays. 

In the final weeks before 

the show, Nevin stitched 

the scenes together “like a 

quilt work,” allowing the 

eight parts come together 

in one fictional night under 

the Northern Lights. 

“The degree of professionalism 

that these kids 

bring to this is astounding,” 

Nevin said. “I have 

been in a lot of different 

theaters around that aren’t

… I think it’s an amazing 

training that they’re getting 

both on the tech side 

[and on the stage]. It’s 

been pleasure to watch.” 

The students found 

sanctuary in creating the 

show, according to the junior 

Tzinberg. With the 

stress of the fall semester 

and recent security scares, 

students have consistently 

been at rehearsals eager to 

create the passion project 

to share with the community. 

The show has created 

a “fantastic” community 

among the students involved 

and Tzinberg hopes 

the performances have 

spread the connection, 

causing audience members 

to leave the show and tell 

someone in their life that 

they love them. 

“This show is not about 

cliches,” Tzinberg said. 

“This show is about people 

living their lives that have 

love in them. It’s not just 

sugar and sweet. There is 

the nitty-gritty of having a 

relationship with someone 

when you love them.”

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 

The fresh strawberry crepes ($9.95) are freshly made with delicious strawberries at 

Jasper’s Cafe in Glenview. Photos by Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media 

people know that we are 

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 highquality 

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 

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.

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. 

RIGHT: The hot turkey dish 

($9.95) comes with roast 

turkey slices on white 

bread smothered in gravy, 

served with homemade 

mashed potatoes and a 

cup of soup. 

Jasper’s pumpkin pancakes are a seasonal favorite for 

a lot of the restaurant’s loyal customers. 

The lox plate ($15.95) is piled high with smoked salmon, 

sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion and served with a 

bagel and cream cheese. 

The Iron Man omelette ($11.45) is an egg-white omelette 

with spinach, mushrooms and low-fat mozzarella

I started when I was 

about 5 or 6 because my 

dad, brother and sister 

played soccer.

about the spot? 

I like the team aspect of 

just bonding with the team 

and just celebrating wins. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have any 

superstitions before a 

match? 

I like to take a little nap

When I was playing FC1 

and were down 11-7 to the 

Chicago Fire and we came 

back to win in penalties. 

If you could have any 

super power, what 

super power would 

you want? 

I would want to mange 

time so I can stop it. 

What would you do if 

you won the lottery? 

I would go to my lake 

house in Wisconsin and 

probably tear it down and 

build a bigger one. 

What is your favorite 

area restaurant? 

I like Landmark, it’s 

a classic and I like to go 

there with my family during 

the weekend and watch 

a lot of sports. I usually get

I would be an eagle, it’d 

be cool to fly.

North finishes strong at conference meet 

Submitted content 

Glenbrook North put in a 

strong showing at the CSL 

Conference Championship 

Meet on Saturday, Oct. 13, 

to hold onto a fourth place 

north division finish for the 

season. 

Highland Park edged out 

Deerfield for the North division 

conference crown 

with Vernon Hills squeaking 

past the Spartans for 

third place. Maine West 

and Maine East rounded 

out the North division competition, 

finishing fifth and 

sixth, respectively. 

Head coach Bill Race 

was optimistic coming into 

the meet as several Spartan 

runners notched personal 

record times in last few 

weeks. 

“We’ve had a good two 

weeks of training,” Race 

said, “and while a couple of 

our varsity guys are banged 

up and nursing nagging injuries, 

I don’t expect any of 

that to deter our resilience 

or to alter our approach.” 

GBN converted its hard 

work into a solid performance, 

with two runners 

— senior co-captain Dana 

Sullivan and sophomore 

Nick Redstone — earning 

all-conference honors 

with top 14 finishes. Sullivan 

finished 12th overall 

in 16 minutes, 23.8 seconds 

while Redstone crossed the 

finish line in 16:26.8, good 

for 14th place. 

Junior co-captain Tim 

St. John (16:29.5) and fellow 

junior Michael Kruse 

(16:32.0) finished in 15th 

and 17th place, respectively, 

while Senior Caleb Kim 

rounded out GBN’s top five 

runners with a 27th-place 

finish in 17:08.9. 

“The team’s performance 

today was actually kind of 

spectacular,” said Sullivan. 

“The conditions were favorable 

for a great race even 

though we all have little 

aches and pains at this point 

near the end of the season. 

Tim and Nick and Michael 

were right with me going 

into the last 400 meters and 

that just proves how strong 

we are as a team. My own 

teammate Nick Redstone 

passed me near the end and 

really pushed me. I thought 

to myself, ‘OK let’s battle 

this one out,’ and that is 

true teamwork because he 

helped me to a great finish.” 

Race agreed with Sullivan’s 

assessment. “Overall 

I thought the team competed 

very well, they helped 

each other and they worked 

well as a team,” remarked 

Race. “It was a pretty good 

day for the Spartans.” 

GBN had several strong 

efforts in the other conference 

races. In the two-mile 

freshman competition, 

five Spartans cracked the 

top ten, including Joshua 

Glenbrook North’s Dana Sullivan (left) and Nick 

Redstone compete at the CSL conference meet on

Rubinstein (5th), Nathan

Herbst (8th) and Branden 

Chi (10th). In the sophomore 

race, Nick Ihrke 

placed third with a personal 

record time of 16:59.0.

Football: Junior Spartans 

Red 22, Park Ridge 6 

Playing on the road at 

Park Ridge, the Junior 

Spartans Red team (5-0) 

had yet another strong 

performance in the rain. 

After allowing a touchdown 

on the first drive, 

the Junior Spartans defense 

did not let up a point 

the rest of the game. Highlighted 

by an interception 

returned for a touchdown 

by Bobby Yang, the Spartans 

defense did not miss 

a beat from the previous 

two weeks. 

The Spartans offense 

started strong scoring a 

touchdown on the team’s 

first two drives of the 

game. Josh Raju the Spartans 

first half quarterback 

connected with Max Leboyer 

through the air for 

the first touchdown of 

the game. The next drive 

saw Vincent Serra taking 

the ball into the end zone 

for the Spartans. The second 

half offense looked 

just as strong. With many 

people contributing to the 

cause the Spartans controlled 

the time of possession 

throughout the whole 

game.

Sandlow, Spartans shine at conference meet 


With one of the strongest 

lineups in recent years, 

Glenbrook North put in a 

strong performance at the 

Central Suburban League 

Championships on Saturday, 

Oct. 13. 

Falling only to a dominant 

Vernon Hills squad, 

the Spartans defeated perennial 

powers Deerfield 

and Highland Park to finish 

a strong second in the 

CSL North to close out the 

conference season. 

The meet, which was 

run on Deerfield’s winding 

three-mile course, featured 

the top-seven runners from 

each of the conference’s 

12 teams in a head-to head 

showdown, with conference 

titles on the line in 

each of the north and south 

divisions. 

Five Spartans earned 

All-Conference honors by 

placing in the top 14 overall, 

led by sophomore Natalie 

Sandlow, who once 

again shined as one of the 

top runners in the state by 

winning the North crown 

in 17 minutes, 48.6 seconds. 

GBN’s other all-conference 

performers were 

junior Alexandra Chertok, 

who finished in sixth place 

with a time of 19:02.6, senior 

Sarah Sandlow (ninth 

place in 19:10.4), junior 

Chloe MacMillin (12th 

place in 19:30.8) and senior 

Carly Harris (14th 

place in 19:50.8). 

Head coach Bob LeBlanc 

was very pleased with 

the team’s performance. 

“Having all five of our 

scoring runners make allconference 

is a pretty impressive 

accomplishment, 

Glenbrook North’s Sarah 

Sandlow competes in the 

Central Suburban League 

North conference meet on 

Saturday, Oct. 13. photo 

submitted 

especially since there are 

only 14 all-conference 

spots available,” LeBlanc 

said. “Natalie Sandlow is 

one of the best runners we 

have ever had at GBN and 

she has run consistently 

well and our next four or 

five runners have really 

improved dramatically this 

year to help our team’s 

performance. Our runners 

did just what they were 

supposed to do in this race 

— they ran hard and took 

care of business.” 

The runners themselves 

knew they had worked 

hard coming in to the meet 

and were thrilled with the 

overall results. “I feel very 

lucky to be part of a team 

with five all-conference 

girls,” said Sarah Sandlow. 

“In my four years running 

at GBN I have not seen 

that, so it is an amazing 

feeling. Everyone had a 

good race today.” 

Top performers in other 

races included freshman 

Kelsey Lundgaard, who 

posted a personal record 

time of 21:04.5 – good for 

an eighth-place finish in 

the freshman/sophomore 

race.



Boys Soccer 

Spartans battle Scouts, adversity in Senior Night win 

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor 

Joey Martens and Glenbrook 

North didn’t let adversity 

get in the way of an 

important win. 

The Spartans trailed 

twice and gave up a lead 

in the final portion of its 

Senior Night against Lake 

Forest on Thursday, Oct. 

11, in what seemed like 

another match GBN would 

let get away. But Martens 

and the Spartans fought 

back, with the junior stealing 

the show with 1 minute, 

25 seconds left in the 

match when he knocked 

a deflected ball into the 

Scouts’ net to give his 

team a 5-4 win. 

The match was far from 

anything either team wanted 

to see in the last match 

before the start of the playoffs, 

but the Spartans knew 

they needed to continue 

to fight as they started a 

stretch they hope can turn 

into a long playoff run. 

“We knew we had to do 

it for the seniors,” senior 

Sam Sullivan said. “We 

need to keep the energy 

high and we couldn’t get 

down on ourselves.” 

Lake Forest started off 

hot against GBN, forcing 

the Spartans into early errors 

in the first half. Aved 

Markarian scored off a 

shot from around 30 yards 

after the Spartans turned 

the ball over, giving the 

Scouts an early lead. Both 

teams exchanged attempts 

for much of the first half 

before a Spartan yellow 

card gave Oliver Akintade 

a penalty kick, which he 

scored on with 19:59 left 

in the first half. 

The Spartans started to 

respond after its 2-0 deficit. 

Just over a minute later, 

Lake Forest commited

(right) fight off a Lake Forest player on Thursday, Oct. 11, in Northbrook. Michal

a penalty, giving Sullivan 

a penalty kick chance that 

he converted on. GBN 

continued to push the ball 

up against Lake Forest 

with a few questionable 

calls before Joey Martens 

responded, tying the game 

his first time on a breakaway 

with 3:40 left in the 

first half. 

Both team exchanged 

goals to start the second 

half — Alan Cechrez and 

Nico Fillips for the Scouts 

and Max Marquez Konrad 

Kulesza for the Spartans 

— but the Spartans continued 

to fight and Martens 

helped lead to the heroics. 

“We were a little sloppy,” 

Lake Forest head 

coach Rob Perry said. 

“Every time we seem to 

take control of the game, 

we let them back in. … We 

were sloppy tonight. Five 

goals is not good.” 

The Scouts battled inconsistency 

for much 

of the season as they’ve 

fought in a very difficult 

North Suburban Conference 

with elite teams in 

the state. Perry didn’t like 

the way his responded to 

the first cold match of the 

year, but knows that if 

Lake Forest wants a deep 

run in the playoffs, defense 

is the key. 

“The middle chuck of 

the season when we were 

going through the tougher 

part of our conference, we 

struggled scoring goals,” 

Perry said. “We’ve cleaned 

that up, we’re creating 

chances now. We just need 

to tighten up defensively 

and concentrate on defense. 

The teams that do best in 

the playoffs do the best.” 

The Spartans win 

marked the first game of 

the season Marquez played 

in. GBN’s senior sharp 

shooter missed all of the 

season due to a hip flexor 

and took away from what 

GBN head coach Paul Vignocchi 

thought his team 

could do this season. 

“Just the energy that he 

gives on a daily basis,” 

Vignocchi commented on 

Marquez. “Him not being 

on the field is a reason why 

we’re not .500 this year. 

He was a big part of our 

preseason an having him 

hurt all season has hurt our 

team. We’re happy he’s 

back and hoping to make a 

push in the playoffs.” 

GBN players and coaches 

hope that a rallying 

win will help them save a 

season they thought they 

would have this year before 

Marquez’ injury. The 

Spartans started the postseason 

on Tuesday, Oct. 

16, against Maine West. 

Now that Marquez is 

ready to play, the Spartans 

are ready to make some 

noise in the postseason. 

“Now a lot of our guys 

that maybe haven’t played 

have gotten some experience,” 

Vignocchi said. “I 

think we’re battle-tested, 

I think we’re ready for the 

playoffs and we’re excited 

to see how far we can go.”

pick-six 

GBN put together a 

solid drive after forcing a 

third second-half Deerfield 

turnover. But the Spartans 

failed to convert on 

a fourth-and-long, giving 

Deerfield a chance to tie or 

take the lead with just over 

two minutes left to play. 

On the second play of 

the drive, Ciss intercepted 

a pass and returned in 37 

yards for a touchdown to 

give North a 21-7 lead. 

“I was really nervous, 

they were driving on us, 

and it was still a close game 

at that point,” Ciss said. “I 

just saw that ball thrown up 

in the air and I knew that 

I had to get it and seal the 

deal.” 

Ciss’ interception was 

the second time this season 

the junior has intercepted 

a pass in the second half 

against a conference rival. 

Earlier this year, Ciss 

thwarted any comeback 

hopes of the Highland Park 

Boys Golf 

Giants in Week 6 with 67- 

yard pick-six. His Week 

6 play put North up two 

touchdowns, securing a 

Spartan win. 

Injury news, Week 9 

matchup 

Now 6-2, the Spartans 

welcome Vernon Hills (3-5) 

to Northbrook next week on 

Homecoming night for their 

final regular-season game. 

“We just have to keep 

getting better,” Pieper said. 

“We’re going to see a good 

team next week, we’re going 

to see a good team Week 

10, and then hopefully after 

that. There’s no more 

week’s off, they’re all going 

to be good games. We’ll 

see, it’ll be fun.” 

The Spartans will likely 

be without senior captain 

Nick Mantas the rest of the 

way. Mantas suffered a knee 

injury in a practice earlier 

last week. The loss of Mantas, 

the team’s best lineman, 

is another tough blow to 

a team that has dealt with 

many key losses on both 

sides of the ball.

'They deserve this': Spartans earn trip to playoffs 


With his Glenbrook 

North Spartans mired in a 

7-7 tie at half, and a playoff 

berth on the line, head 

coach Bob Pieper delivered 

a simple message to his 

team. 

“(We told the guys) 

you’ve got 24 minutes left 

now, you have one team 

in front of you to go to the 

playoffs or not, what are 

you going to do,” Pieper 

said of his halftime message 

to the team. 

It took just one play for 

the Spartans to respond to 

Pieper’s challenge, as senior 

Owen Sybert returned 

the second-half kickoff 97 

yards for a touchdown to 

give them a 13-7 lead. 

North never trailed after 

Sybert’s return, finishing 

NORTH SHORE 

off a 21-7 Week 8 victory 

over the Deerfield Warriors 

on Friday, Oct. 12, in 

Northbrook. 

Junior defensive leader 

Michael Ciss put the finishing 

touch on the victory 

with his second game-securing 

pick-six of the season. 

GBN’s victory over its 

CSL North rival is the 

team’s sixth win of the 

season, clinching a playoff 

spot for the Spartans. 

“I’m really happy 

for these boys,” Pieper 

said. “They deserve this. 

They’ve practiced really 

hard. We came out and got 

our butts whooped against 

Maine West and they focused 

in every day since 

then and they’re buying 

into everything that we’re

opened the game’s scoring 

with a 46-yard touchdown 

drive early in the second 

quarter. 

North capitalized on a 

holding penalty against 

Deerfield, which turned a 

long second-down play into 

an automatic first down. 

With GBN’s starting 

running back Grant Marino 

out of action for the thirdstraight 

week, Drake Marquez 

stepped up to fill the 

void. 

Marquez delivered a key 

20-yard rush, setting up 

GBN inside Deerfield’s red 

zone. Two plays later, Marquez 

finished the drive with 

an 8-yard touchdown run. 

Deerfield answered 

North’s scoring drive with 

one of its own. The Warriors 

quickly tied the game 

at 7 on a six-play, 61-yard 

drive.

end zone after making an interception late in the fourth 

quarter to seal a 21-7 Glenbrook North win over the

Sybert ignites strong 

second-half performance 

Senior leader Owen Sybert 

has been a vital part of 

GBN’s success in each of 

its prior two wins. But, his 

Week 8 performance was 

arguably his best varsity 

game as a Spartan. 

With the game tied 7-7 at 

the start of the third quarter, 

Sybert ignited a strong 

Glenbrook North secondhalf 

performance with a 

97-yard kickoff return for a 

touchdown. 

“It felt amazing, it felt 

like I was making up for 

some lost time right there,” 

Sybert said. “Our guys did 

a great job blocking. … As 

soon as I saw the clear, I 

thought ‘oh my goodness, 

this is real’ and I was just 

so excited. And being able 

to celebrate with my teammates 

was just a great feeling.” 

Sybert’s game-changing 

run gave the Spartans a 

13-7 lead over the Deerfield 

Warriors — but his 

impact on the game’s outcome 

was not finished. 

With the Warriors threatening 

to score on their 

second drive of the half, 

Sybert dove to recover a 

fumble just inches before 

the ball went out of bounds. 

“We’re a better team with 

him on the field, there’s no 

doubt about it,” Pieper said. 

“He motivates these kids 

by his play, and they follow 

his leadership.” 

Spartans’ defense turns up 

pressure in second half 

After Sybert’s return to 

start the half, GBN’s defense 

forced five turnovers 

in the second half, halting 

several Deerfield drives 

that looked promising. 

Deerfield went threeand-out 

on its first drive 

of the half but put together 

one of its best of the game 

on its second drive. 

The Warriors moved the 

ball in North’s territory after 

a quarterback keeper set 

them up at the 33. 

On a third-and-three 

from North’s 31, Cam 

Casey forced a fumble that 

was recovered by GBN. 

Early in the game’s 

fourth quarter, the Warriors 

fumbled a GBN punt 

attempt, giving North the 

ball back in its own territory. 

The Spartans were 

unable to capitalize on the 

turnover after missing a 23- 

yard field goal attempt. 

The Warriors again 

turned the ball over, this 

time via a fumble, which 

was recovered by Ciss. 

Ciss once again secures 

crucial conference win with
