Illinois 10th Congressional District<br />

Incumbent Schneider retains 10th District seat<br />

Martin Carlino<br />

Contributing Editor<br />

Voting breakdown<br />

Cook County<br />

Schneider — 35,571<br />

votes<br />

Bennett — 18,460<br />

votes<br />

Lake County<br />

Schneider — 115,840<br />

Total Votes<br />

Schneider — 152,411,<br />

65.4 percent<br />

Bennett — 80,618,<br />

34.6 percent<br />

In one of the state’s most<br />

competitive districts in recent<br />

memory, incumbent<br />

Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield)<br />

comfortably retained<br />

his seat in Congress over<br />

challenger Douglas Bennett<br />

(R-Deerfield).<br />

Schneider won 65.4 percent<br />

of the vote in the 10th<br />

Congressional District to<br />

Bennett’s 34.6 percent, the<br />

largest margin of victory in<br />

terms of percentage since<br />

the district was redrawn<br />

in 2011. Schneider accumulated<br />

152,411 votes to<br />

Bennett’s 80,618.<br />

“This was a campaign<br />

powered by people .... and<br />

we saw it with the result<br />

tonight,” Schneider said<br />

Tuesday, Nov. 6, in his<br />

victory speech to a packed<br />

room of supporters at the<br />

Highland Park Country<br />

Club.<br />

Just two years prior,<br />

Schneider reclaimed the<br />

district for Democrats<br />

by defeating former state<br />

Rep. Bob Dold (R-Kenilworth)<br />

with 52 percent<br />

of the vote, compared to<br />

Dold’s 48 percent. The<br />

race was decided by a difference<br />

of approximately<br />

14,000 votes.<br />

The 2016 matchup<br />

marked the third time<br />

Schneider and Dold vied<br />

for the seat, with Schneider<br />

winning in 2012 and<br />

2016, and Dold winning in<br />

2014. But in 2018, Schneider<br />

delivered an impressive<br />

showing of support to<br />

ensure the district would<br />

stay blue.<br />

“We don’t know what’s<br />

going to happen across<br />

the rest of the country, but<br />

here’s what I know for certain<br />

— in our district, in<br />

our communities, the message<br />

we sent two years,<br />

we amplified tonight,”<br />

Schneider said. “We said<br />

we are on the right path<br />

of unity, of opportunity, of<br />

the belief in people, in the<br />

belief of this country and<br />

the understanding of that<br />

we will create our future<br />

by lifting people up, rather<br />

than speaking to people<br />

down. That’s who we are,<br />

and I am proud of our district.”<br />

Bennett, a business<br />

consultant, gathered with<br />

his supporters on election<br />

night at Austin’s Saloon in<br />

Libertyville.<br />

Despite notable endorsements,<br />

Bennett, a first-time<br />

candidate, was not able to<br />

flip the district this cycle.<br />

“The past year has been<br />

an incredible journey for<br />

Join us Monday<br />

me and my family,” Bennett<br />

says in a statement<br />

posted on Facebook the<br />

morning of Nov. 7. “Meeting<br />

with so many people<br />

throughout our community<br />

has been a true blessing,<br />

one that I will cherish for<br />

a lifetime. The 10th District<br />

has shown me that<br />

our community is strong,<br />

our neighbors care about<br />

our future and we still can<br />

work together to make our<br />

nation better. I am humbled<br />

by the outpouring of<br />

support for myself, my<br />

wife and our three children,”<br />

reads the statement<br />

in part.<br />

This election cycle saw<br />

less spending than 2016,<br />

with Schneider raising far<br />

more than his challenger.<br />

According to campaign<br />

finance records, Schneider<br />

received $4.2 million in<br />

contributions from Jan. 1<br />

through Oct. 17 and spent<br />

$2.3 million on operating<br />

expenditures.<br />

Bennett received<br />

$144,750 in contributions<br />

in the same period and<br />

spent $235,242 on operating<br />

expenditures.<br />

In a statement sent out<br />

shortly after his speech,<br />

Schneider outlined his<br />

goals for his impending<br />

term.<br />

“Over the next two<br />

years, I will continue to be<br />

always there, working hard<br />

to build an economy that<br />

works for all of us instead<br />

of just those at the top, improve<br />

our health care, and<br />

make progress on the important<br />

issues, including<br />

college affordability, gun<br />

safety and immigration<br />

reform,” Schneider said in<br />

Fort Sheridan recognizes<br />

100th anniversary of WWI<br />

Todd Marver<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

On the 100-year anniversary of the<br />

end of World War I, Veterans Day ceremonies<br />

were held all across the country<br />

on Sunday, Nov. 11. Fort Sheridan was<br />

no exception, as a ceremony was held at<br />

the flagpole on the parade ground. President<br />

of the Fort Sheridan Historical Society<br />

Rich Hiles called the attendance of<br />

dozens a far larger crowd than last year.<br />

In 2017, it snowed during Veterans Day<br />

Weekend.<br />

“This is a much bigger crowd than we<br />

had last year and most importantly thank<br />

you to all our service members and veterans<br />

that are here with us,” Hiles said.<br />

Lake Forest Boy Scout Troop 48 led<br />

the pledge of allegiance and laid a wreath<br />

near the bottom of the flagpole in honor<br />

of the fallen veterans. A moment of silence<br />

was also held in conjunction with<br />

the wreath laying ceremony.<br />

“We can never fully repay the debt of<br />

gratitude to the more than 650,000 American<br />

service members who died in battle or<br />

the 1.4 million who have been wounded.<br />

We can, however, recognize and thank<br />

the 25 million veterans that are still living<br />

here today,” Hiles said.<br />

On Nov. 11, 1918, the Armistice was<br />

called to end what was known at the time<br />

as the Great War, the war to end all wars.<br />

“We stand here today 100 years later<br />

knowing that was not the war that ended<br />

all wars,” Congressman Brad Schneider<br />

said. “American men and women have<br />

fought in many conflicts around the world<br />

in the 100 years since. Today we have<br />

troops in places far and wide in Afghanistan<br />

fighting a war that is older than probably<br />

everyone or most of the young men<br />

(Boy Scouts) standing next to me.”<br />

Veterans Day has been observed at Fort<br />

Sheridan since the day that World War<br />

I ended on Nov. 11, 1918, according to<br />

Hiles. Fort Sheridan has been an active<br />

military instillation since the 1890s and<br />

remains active to this day with a military<br />

reserve base just to the north and a<br />

multi-service support base immediately<br />

to the south. Hiles said Fort Sheridan has<br />

supported United States servicemen and<br />

women in almost every military conflict<br />

Congressman Brad Schneider speaks at<br />

a wreath-laying ceremony in Fort Sheridan,<br />

Sunday, Nov. 11. Alex Newman/22nd<br />

Century Media<br />

since the 1890s and still today.<br />

“Over the last 130 years, many thousands<br />

of our nation’s cherished warriors<br />

and sons and daughters have stood at attention<br />

saluting the Fort Sheridan flagpole,”<br />

Hiles said. “Today we stand here<br />

to show our respect and gratitude for all<br />

the nation’s veterans of yesterday and<br />

today. So many of our nation’s warriors<br />

have been stationed and trained on this<br />

ground.”<br />

The ceremony concluded with the singing<br />

of the national anthem. When Francis<br />

Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner<br />

almost 200 years ago, he called America<br />

the land of the free and the home of the<br />

brave.<br />

“Those words are as true today as they<br />

were then,” Hiles said. “In this nation’s<br />

history, America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen,<br />

marines and coastguardsmen have<br />

bravely answered the call to defend our<br />

freedom, to aid our friends and allies and<br />

to turn back aggression.”<br />

Schneider said he’s thankful for those<br />

who paid the ultimate sacrifice.<br />

“Each of us owe a great debt of gratitude<br />

to everyone of those men and women<br />

who put on the uniform in service to the<br />

nation, answered the call of duty and with<br />

great honor defended the freedom, the<br />

rights and the values we all hold dear,” he<br />

said.

Illinois State Senate District 29<br />

Morrison defeats Davie in ‘really<br />

hard’ race lacking ‘civility’<br />

Erin Yarnall, Editor<br />

Incumbent Julie A. Morrison (D-<br />

Deerfield) celebrated another successful<br />

defense of her Senate seat in<br />

the state’s 29th Senate District over<br />

Barrett Davie (R-Lake Forest) at the<br />

Highland Park Country Club.<br />

Morrison, 62, won 63.1 percent<br />

of the vote to Davie’s 36.9 percent,<br />

with 62 of 68 precincts reported, a<br />

difference of 20,762 votes.<br />

The district covers Highland Park,<br />

Highwood, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest,<br />

Buffalo Grove and Deerfield in<br />

Lake County, and Arlington Heights,<br />

Glencoe, Prospect Heights and<br />

Northbrook in Cook County.<br />

The race marked the first meeting<br />

of Morrison and Davie. Morrison has<br />

Morgan wins over Lesser by landslide<br />

Contributing Editor<br />

Rick Lesser (R-Lake<br />

Bluff) could not catch up<br />

to Bob Morgan (D-Deerfield)<br />

in the Illinois House<br />

of Representatives District<br />

58 race after entering<br />

late when Cindy Masover<br />

left the race for personal<br />

reasons.<br />

Scott Drury has held the<br />

Illinois House of Representatives<br />

District 58 seat<br />

since 2013.<br />

Lesser, 63, is a small<br />

business owner and estate<br />

planning attorney. He was<br />

a Lake Bluff Village Board<br />

of Trustee member from<br />

2003-2011.<br />

Morgan, 38, is an attorney<br />

for the law firm Much<br />

Shelist, and previously<br />

worked for the State of Illinois<br />

where he served as<br />

the lead attorney for the<br />

implementation of the Affordable<br />

Care Act. He also<br />

served as senator in the 29th Legislative<br />

District since 2013. She previously<br />

served as the West Deerfield<br />

Township Supervisor for 15 years.<br />

Davie, 44, a first-time candidate,<br />

co-founded a sports marketing company<br />

InStadium, and served as its<br />

CEO until 2008. He now serves as<br />

the partner and co-founder of InFlow<br />

Partners, a business accelerator. He<br />

has also previously served as the<br />

chairman of Bernie’s Book Bank in<br />

Lake Bluff.<br />

“It was a really hard race, you<br />

guys” Morrison said to a crowded<br />

room at the Highland Park Country<br />

Club. “There was a lot of nastiness,<br />

there was not a lot of civility. We<br />

served as director of the<br />

Illinois Medical Cannabis<br />

Program. The program has<br />

helped more than 35,000<br />

residents struggling with<br />

debilitating medical conditions<br />

like cancer and PTSD.<br />

“I was unable to overcome<br />

the problem the republican<br />

brand has in this<br />

District,” Lesser said during<br />

a watch party at Chief’s<br />

Pub in Lake Forest.<br />

Lesser did not believe<br />

his late entry impacted the<br />

results.<br />

During a watch party<br />

at Highland Park Country<br />

Club Morgan gave his<br />

victory speech.<br />

“We announced the<br />

campaign for State Representative<br />

with the simple<br />

message of doing better,”<br />

Morgan said. “Doing better<br />

without representation,<br />

offering our communities<br />

representation and leadership<br />

that it deserves.”<br />

<strong>HP</strong> resident honored at North<br />

Shore Senior Center gala<br />

Submitted by the North<br />

Shore Senior Center<br />

The North Shore Senior<br />

Center hosted its annual<br />

Gala on Sept. 22, where<br />

it honored Highland Park<br />

resident Lois Melvoin, the<br />

Crain-Maling Foundation<br />

and Abbott for their generosity,<br />

dedication and support.<br />

Held at Skokie Country<br />

Club in Glencoe, the<br />

Gala featured a cocktail<br />

reception, silent auction,<br />

video program, award presentation,<br />

and paddle raise.<br />

The event attracted nearly<br />

225 guests and raised a<br />

record-breaking $160,000.<br />

The evening’s program<br />

began with remarks from<br />

immediate past chair, Art<br />

Muir. He spoke about<br />

the many ways the North<br />

Shore Senior Center serves<br />

the community, including<br />

case management services,<br />

the House of Welcome<br />

Adult Day Services, fitness<br />

center, lifelong learning<br />

classes, and more.<br />

Current board chair Stuart<br />

Smith had the honor of<br />

presenting the Janet Burgoon<br />

Philanthropic Excellence<br />

Awards. First, he<br />

presented the Outstanding<br />

Philanthropist Award to<br />

Melvoin. Her first memories<br />

of the Center date back<br />

to her childhood when her<br />

father was a member, her<br />

mother was a volunteer,<br />

and eventually her brother<br />

Millard Grauer served on<br />

the Board of Trustees.<br />

After earning a degree<br />

in social work, Melvoin<br />

joined the Center’s staff<br />

as a full-time case manager.<br />

In this role, Melvoin<br />

noticed that many of her<br />

clients needed assistance<br />

easing the cost of medications,<br />

eyeglasses and<br />

other one-time expenses.<br />

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER<br />

Five subjects in stolen<br />

vehicle attempt to elude<br />

police near Northbrook-<br />

Deerfield border<br />

The Deerfield Police<br />

Department has five subjects<br />

in custody after a<br />

vehicle, believed to be stolen,<br />

crashed into two other<br />

vehicles on Lake Cook<br />

Road near the Northbrook-<br />

Deerfield border, according<br />

to Thomas E. Keane,<br />

deputy chief of the Deerfield<br />

Police Department.<br />

According to Keane, the<br />

Kenosha Police Department<br />

alerted towns along<br />

Route 41 that it was tracking<br />

a stolen vehicle that<br />

was reportedly in the area.<br />

After the vehicle entered<br />

Highland Park, an officer<br />

saw it turn onto Lake Cook<br />

and proceed Westbound,<br />

according to Keane. Per<br />

Keane, the vehicle then<br />

turned down a street near<br />

P.F. Chang’s, turned and<br />

proceeded eastbound on<br />

Lake Cook.<br />

The vehicle next attempted<br />

to go between<br />

two cars, which were<br />

stopped at the traffic light,<br />

and made contact with<br />

both, resulting in a traffic<br />

accident, per Keane.<br />

With the assistance of<br />

the Northbrook and Highland<br />

Park Police Departments,<br />

the Cook County<br />

Sheriff’s Department,<br />

and other local agencies,<br />

five individuals are<br />

now in custody.<br />

“They are an assortment<br />

of adults and juveniles,”<br />

Keane told The Northbrook<br />

Tower. “No one has<br />

been officially charged yet.<br />

We’re still investigating.”<br />

Editor<br />

Every time I flip<br />

through any paper,<br />

the first thing<br />

my eyes land on are the<br />

pictures.<br />

Photos can enhance any<br />

story by helping add visual<br />

context to the words<br />

on the page. Sometimes,<br />

photos themselves can<br />

be the story. Basically,<br />

pictures are crucial to<br />

the story-telling process,<br />

and we need help getting<br />

them.<br />

We at The Landmark<br />

are looking for people<br />

who want to help tell stories<br />

through photography.<br />

Do you have a professional<br />

camera? Do you<br />

have photography experience?<br />

If so, we’re interested<br />

in having you take<br />

photos for us.<br />

If you’re interested in<br />

taking pictures for The<br />

Landmark, send a resume<br />

and some examples of<br />

your photography to<br />

erin@hplandmark.com.<br />

Once you’re a freelancer,<br />

we at The Landmark<br />

will send you out to get<br />

photos of the large variety<br />

of the fun events you read<br />

about in your weekly<br />

paper.<br />

In addition to looking<br />

for freelance photographers,<br />

we’re always hoping<br />

to get submissions of<br />

community photos.<br />

Did you attend a fun<br />

event? Is your house decorated<br />

really well? Do you<br />

have photos of anything<br />

that you’d want to share<br />

with the community?<br />

Feel free to email them to<br />

John Russell<br />

Caringella<br />

John Russell<br />

Caringella,<br />

92, formerly of Highland<br />

Park, died Oct. 31. He<br />

was born on July 3, 1926<br />

in St. Paul, MN to Rocky<br />

and Julia Caringella. He is<br />

survived by his wife of 69<br />

years, Marilyn Olivia Caringella.<br />

Caringella graduated<br />

from Austin High School<br />

in 1944, Wright Junior College<br />

in 1946, and received<br />

his D.D.S. Degree from<br />

Loyola Dental School in<br />

1952. He married his beloved<br />

wife Marilyn on<br />

Sept. 3, 1949 in Chicago.<br />

In his youth he worked for<br />

the Chicago Tribune as a<br />

newsboy/assistant. He later<br />

enlisted in the U.S. Navy<br />

(1946-1948), he was a Yeoman<br />

Second Class on the<br />

USS LST-804, Tank Landing<br />

Ship, during World War<br />

II. He later set up his dental<br />

office, working as a dedicated<br />

Dentist from 1952-<br />

2012.<br />

He was an only child,<br />

growing up at times with<br />

his treasured father, living<br />

in small apartments with<br />

other Italian men, then regularly<br />

with his mother and<br />

father through the Great<br />

Depression’s struggles of<br />

poverty. During this time,<br />

he watched his dad make<br />

something of himself despite<br />

being an immigrant<br />

without a formal education.<br />

As the years progressed,<br />

his dad provided<br />

a comfortable life. John<br />

himself achieved enormously,<br />

especially given<br />

his meager origins, and<br />

like his father, provided<br />

not only a life of comfort,<br />

but one of luxury for his<br />

wife and children through<br />

his diligent, honest, and<br />

incredible devotion to his<br />

chosen profession.<br />

He was a Renaissance<br />

man: music lover, especially<br />

classical and opera, avid<br />

reader, loved history, civil<br />

war buff (if not expert),<br />

art, international culture,<br />

a grueling Chicago sports<br />

fan of ’Da Bears and Chicago<br />

Cubs (finally, the generationally<br />

awaited World<br />

Series Champs in 2016, he<br />

was able to watch in typical<br />

three-generation style with<br />

his wife, his daughter Susan,<br />

and his father Rocky’s<br />

replica brick that the family<br />

had placed in his memory<br />

at Wrigley Field). He enjoyed<br />

golf, photography,<br />

landscaping and gardening,<br />

coin and stamp collecting,<br />

as well as charitable volunteer<br />

work, e.g., bible story<br />

reading to little children at<br />

church, driving the elderly<br />

around for errands and appointments,<br />

and, naturally,<br />

much more.<br />

He was a parishioner<br />

at St. James in Highwood<br />

and later at Church of St.<br />

Patrick in Wadsworth. He<br />

belonged to The Arcolian<br />

Dental Arts Society and Xi<br />

Psi Phi. He was president<br />

of the Northwest Branch of<br />

the Chicago Dental Society,<br />

he held a truly impressive<br />

array of awards and<br />

honors and contributed as<br />

a chairman and committee<br />

member. His overabundance<br />

of kindheartedness<br />

and high-minded moral<br />

altruism simply cannot<br />

be gainsaid or in any way<br />

overstated. All who knew<br />

John Caringella, without<br />

exception, would agree,<br />

that he was truly and honestly,<br />

a great man.<br />

He is survived by his<br />

loving wife Marilyn; children,<br />

Deborah (Jim Tilley)<br />

Schneider, Dr. Susan<br />

(Joseph) Cascio, and Dr.<br />

Richard (Jennifer) Caringella;<br />

grandchildren, Olivia<br />

Jeanine Schneider and<br />

Charlie Russell Schneider;<br />

and son-in-law, Doug Pawlowski.<br />

He was preceded in death<br />

and grief-stricken, along<br />

with his wife and family,<br />

by the loss of their youngest<br />

daughter, DonnaLee<br />

Caringella, to cancer at the<br />

young age of 51, in 2016.<br />

Doris M. Deam<br />

Doris M. Deam (nee<br />

Prohl), 89, of Highland<br />

Park, died Nov. 7. She<br />

lived her life like one of<br />

her paintings, strokes full<br />

of bold color, deftly and<br />

intuitively placed to form<br />

a brilliant and sensitive<br />

whole. She was a surprising<br />

person: warm, reliable,<br />

comforting and kind. She<br />

was also extremely independent,<br />

determined and<br />

forthright. She wanted to<br />

dwell in the positive, not<br />

the negative. She was born<br />

into an energetic German-<br />

American household in<br />

Milwaukee on Nov. 8,<br />

1928, the beloved daughter<br />

of Sophie and Waldemar<br />

Prohl and the dear younger<br />

sister of Jane Rahn. She<br />

graduated with a bachelor<br />

of arts in art education<br />

from Milwaukee State<br />

Teacher’s College. While<br />

attending Ox-Bow School<br />

of Art in Saugatuck, Mich.,<br />

on a painting scholarship,<br />

she met Prof. Edward L.<br />

Deam, FAIA, an architect<br />

and fellow artist and from<br />

that time on endeavored to<br />

accompany him over dune<br />

and dale in their unique<br />

and complementary interests<br />

for their 67-year marriage.<br />

She had a long teaching<br />

career, first as an elementary<br />

school teacher<br />

in Philadelphia and Highland<br />

Park, and then as a<br />

remedial reaching teacher<br />

for 22 years at Elm Place<br />

School in Highland Park<br />

after receiving a reading<br />

specialist graduate degree<br />

from National College of<br />

Education. Parallel to her<br />

teaching career ran her<br />

life as a painter in which<br />

she produced hundreds of<br />

paintings, first in watercolor<br />

then in arcrylic and<br />

oil, which were exhibited<br />

in local and national juried<br />

art shows and represented<br />

in private collections.<br />

She wrote, “I paint to<br />

encourage the beauty in<br />

life,” as she always brought<br />

her creative ideas into her<br />

classrooms. Bisecting it all<br />

was her life as a devoted<br />

mother of four – Karin,<br />

Norman, Nancy and Judy<br />

– for whom she concocted<br />

endless and fantastic art<br />

projects and birthday parties.<br />

In addition to her<br />

husband and children, she<br />

is survived by her sister;<br />

four grandchildren whom<br />

she adored; and a full and<br />

much-loved group of extended<br />

family and friends<br />

who were very important<br />

to her. A visitation will be<br />

held at the Highland Park<br />

Presbyterian Church, 330<br />

Laurel Avenue, on Saturday,<br />

Nov. 17 at 10 a.m.,<br />

followed by a service at 11<br />

a.m.<br />

The Lake County Community<br />

Foundation celebrated<br />

its 15th anniversary<br />

with a warehouse art<br />

party, stART Something<br />

Lake County Saturday,<br />

Nov. 10 at Bernie’s Book<br />

Bank in Lake Bluff. More<br />

than a dozen local artists,<br />

a number of Lake Countybased<br />

businesses and several<br />

hundred Lake County<br />

Community Foundation<br />

supporters attended the<br />

event.<br />

Proceeds from the evening’s<br />

ticket and art sales<br />

went to the organization’s<br />

Robert F. Reusché Operating<br />

Endowment, Lake<br />

County’s Forever Fund.<br />

Recruiting Lake Forest<br />

resident Mark McMahon<br />

as the lead artist was the<br />

first step in organizing<br />

the event. They commissioned<br />

him to create a<br />

large format map of Lake<br />

County in his well-known<br />

watercolor and acrylic<br />

style. Signed, framed and<br />

matted prints of it were<br />

available for sale at the<br />

party.<br />

More artists signed on to<br />

participate through Mark,<br />

including his wife Carolyn<br />

McMahon, who creates<br />

wire metal images on<br />

board, among other types<br />

of 2D and 3D work. Additional<br />

artists came through<br />

local organizations, including<br />

the Art Center of<br />

Highland Park.<br />

Jason Michael Bentley<br />

and Ahmed Ibrahim<br />

both teach at the Art Center<br />

of Highland Park,<br />

among other places, and<br />

happily participated in<br />

this art party.<br />

Bentley, who works in<br />

gouache watercolor, created<br />

a landscape at the event<br />

and had several others for<br />

sale. He explained that he<br />

is comfortable working on<br />

site because of doing demos<br />

as a teacher and for art<br />

supply companies.<br />

“This is a lovely event,”<br />

he said. “I’ve met some<br />

amazing people.”<br />

He pointed to his silent<br />

auction sheet and noted<br />

he had two bidders competing<br />

with each other<br />

for his work, which was<br />

fun to him.<br />

Ibrahim creates mosaic<br />

and stained glass pieces<br />

and did most of his auction<br />

item ahead of time<br />

because it can take 60 to<br />

80 hours to create an 8” x<br />

10” mosaic. He completed<br />

the outer rows of it on site<br />

Event Co-chair Ann Reusché<br />

spoke in honor of her<br />

late father and his vision<br />

as a founder of the Lake<br />

County Community Foundation.<br />

She mentioned that<br />

he saw an unfulfilled need<br />

for charitable giving in<br />

Lake County.<br />

“He saw tremendous<br />

philanthropic resources<br />

going downtown (Chicago),<br />

which is good,<br />

but he said, ‘We need to<br />

look north,’” Reusché<br />

explained.<br />

“Homelessness and domestic<br />

violence are not<br />

going to go away,” she<br />

continued. “We are here<br />

to invest in the long-term<br />

finances of this organization.<br />

Art and philanthropy<br />

– it all connects to make a<br />

difference.”<br />

Miah Armour, Lake<br />

County Community Foundation<br />

executive director,<br />

spoke about the organization’s<br />

mission, which is to<br />

connect the generosity of<br />

donors with community<br />

needs by making grants<br />

to organizations working<br />

to improve the lives of the<br />

most vulnerable residents<br />

of Lake County.<br />

“This gathering celebrates<br />

the power of art<br />

and philanthropy to build<br />

vibrant communities,<br />

right here in Lake County.<br />

We’re inviting people to<br />

reach beyond their respective<br />

neighborhoods and zip<br />

codes to create a uniquely<br />

Lake County event,” she<br />

said.<br />

Armour explained that<br />

the organization usually<br />

presents smaller scale<br />

educational events, such<br />

as panel discussions, but<br />

to celebrate their 15th anniversary,<br />

“We wanted<br />

to do something more<br />

substantive.”<br />

“It’s opened the community<br />

to people who did<br />

not know about us,” she<br />

continued.<br />

Several of the party attendees<br />

were representatives<br />

of organizations that<br />

receive Lake County Community<br />

Foundation grants.<br />

James Socrates Rivers of<br />

Youth Build Lake County<br />

was among them. His organization<br />

is a career development<br />

and readiness<br />

program for 17 to 24 year<br />

olds who need assistance<br />

getting their education and<br />

work on track. He said his<br />

group helps the youth earn<br />

their high school diplomas,<br />

get a certification in<br />

construction and an education<br />

at the College of Lake<br />

County. Another thing<br />

they do is build homes in<br />

Lake County, which they<br />

in turn sell to low-income<br />

families.<br />

Music was performed<br />

by a jazz ensemble from<br />

the Midwest Young Artists<br />

Conservatory and the<br />

White Stallions Band, a<br />

group of Lake County musicians<br />

who perform rock<br />

and pop covers.<br />

The art party was a<br />

county-wide effort to benefit<br />

Lake County, an example<br />

of neighbors helping<br />

neighbors.

Cafe Pettopia celebrates 10 years in Highwood<br />

sausage with grilled green peppers. Photos by Jason Addy/22nd Century Media<br />

Mike Pettorelli created<br />

his own version of a culinary<br />

utopia 10 years ago in<br />

Highwood.<br />

Pettorelli, owner and<br />

head chef of Cafe Pettopia,<br />

has spent the last 30 years<br />

perfecting his culinary<br />

skills and is now serving<br />

up a mix of fan-favorite<br />

dishes with classic family<br />

recipes to area residents at<br />

his Highwood restaurant.<br />

He created a menu that<br />

caters to both sweet and<br />

savory palettes, and one<br />

where customers can easily<br />

find a dish to satisfy<br />

any craving.<br />

Pettorelli started his<br />

culinary journey at Kendall<br />

College in Chicago 30<br />

years ago.<br />

“When I went to culinary<br />

school, I was taught<br />

classical French cuisine,<br />

and this is nothing like<br />

that,” Pettorelli said. “This<br />

is my take on a great breakfast<br />

and lunch place.”<br />

This is the second restaurant<br />

Pettorelli has opened<br />

in his career, and he now<br />

focuses all of his efforts at<br />

the cafe in Highwood.<br />

He learned a few things<br />

from his first restaurant,<br />

mainly what worked and<br />

what didn’t, and complied<br />

that into what is now Cafe<br />

Pettopia’s selection. And<br />

since Pettorelli is a native<br />

to Highwood, he knew just<br />

what type of culinary excellence<br />

he was up against<br />

even before he opened<br />

Cafe Pettopia 10 years ago<br />

this month.<br />

“It’s tough with the<br />

competition, but definitely<br />

I love having a restaurant<br />

here,” he said. “It seems<br />

like I get more people from<br />

the outlying areas than<br />

Highwood people actually,<br />

which is really nice.”<br />

Pettorelli begins each<br />

day at 5 a.m. prepping almost<br />

everything on menu,<br />

and the time and effort is<br />

reflected in each dish on<br />

the menu.<br />

A group of 22nd Century<br />

Media editors visited<br />

Cafe Pettopia recently and<br />

sampled a wide array of<br />

dishes that Pettorelli offers,<br />

including the tortellaci<br />

for which the pasta is<br />

made in-house.<br />

“I’m from an Italian<br />

family,” he said. “The tortellaci<br />

is a house specialty<br />

and a family recipe. I had<br />

the tortellaci on the menu<br />

of my last restaurant as<br />

well. It’s great that people<br />

still come and they still<br />

love them.”<br />

The tortellacci pasta<br />

($16.95) is hand-rolled<br />

and stuffed with ricotta<br />

cheese, spinach and cream<br />

filling. It is served with a<br />

choice of either meat, tomato<br />

cream or marinara<br />

sauce.<br />

The Italian sausage<br />

sandwich ($12.50), another<br />

customer favorite from<br />

his previous restaurant, is<br />

one of the only dishes Pettorelli<br />

gets outside help on,<br />

but for a good reason.<br />

“We actually get the<br />

sausage from a butcher,<br />

a friend of my father’s.<br />

His name is Luigi Manfredini,<br />

and he used to own<br />

a butcher shop with his<br />

brothers years ago,” Pettorelli<br />

said. “He’s retired,<br />

but he came out of retirement<br />

because his sausage<br />

is so good.<br />

“I told him that if I was<br />

going to open a restaurant<br />

that he would have to come<br />

out of retirement. Happily,<br />

he did it for me.”<br />

The Italian sausage<br />

sandwich is served on Italian<br />

bread, with the perfectly<br />

seasoned sausage<br />

topped with melted Swiss<br />

cheese and green peppers.<br />

Cafe Pettopia offers<br />

an extensive selection<br />

Cafe Pettopia<br />

848 Sheridan Road,<br />

Highwood<br />

(847) 433-3727<br />

7 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday-<br />

Saturday<br />

8 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday<br />

of breakfast dishes, one<br />

of which is the gourmet<br />

French toast ($9.95) for<br />

those looking for a sweet<br />

way to start their morning.<br />

The dish is made by soaking<br />

large slices of Italian<br />

bread in an egg mixture<br />

and then cooking them<br />

to perfection. The dish is<br />

topped with bananas and<br />

walnuts that are sauteed<br />

in butter, brown sugar and<br />

cinnamon.<br />

Pettorelli also offers a<br />

soup-of-the-day option<br />

and a special that rotates<br />

as he sees fit.<br />

It’s a lot of work, but<br />

Pettorelli’s passion for his<br />

craft shines through in his<br />

The cafe’s homemade tortellacci ($16.95) are filled with<br />

spinach, ricotta, parmigiano and cream cheese and<br />

served with tomato sauce<br />

Diners can also get Cafe Pettopia’s tortellacci ($16.95)<br />

topped with a meat sauce.<br />

Finish the meal with the cafe’s gourmet French toast<br />

($9.95) topped with bananas, toasted walnuts, brown<br />

sugar and cinnamon.<br />

dishes. And while Pettorelli<br />

does most things himself,<br />

he does get a bit of<br />

outside help in the preparation<br />

of all those in-house<br />

made items.<br />

“My parents, Linda and<br />

Luciano, do help me too,<br />

because why not? Keep<br />

it in the family,” he said.<br />

“They’re family and these<br />

are their recipes.”

Athlete of the Week<br />

10 Questions<br />

with Ireland Hieb<br />

Hieb is a senior at Highland<br />

Park High School<br />

and an outside hitter on<br />

the girls volleyball team.<br />

How did you start<br />

playing volleyball?<br />

I started in sixth grade,<br />

and I didn’t really want to<br />

at the time. I was playing<br />

basketball and I liked that<br />

more. My mom told me<br />

about the summer camp<br />

my school was putting<br />

on, and I just didn’t want<br />

anything to do with it. My<br />

cousin, she was trying out<br />

for her freshman team, and<br />

she wanted to prep with<br />

me. I realized how much I<br />

liked it and it took off from<br />

there.<br />

Why do you love the<br />

sport so much?<br />

I really like the competition<br />

and the team aspect of<br />

it. I love working together<br />

to achieve a common goal<br />

to win because I’m really<br />

competitive and I like that<br />

winning feeling.<br />

What is the most<br />

challenging part of<br />

playing volleyball?<br />

It’s very unpredictable.<br />

For example, if one of the<br />

girls hits it and they hit the<br />

ball and it tools off our<br />

block, and we don’t know<br />

which way it’s going, we<br />

might have to run all the<br />

way across the court to get<br />

the ball up. You just never<br />

know what’s going to happen.<br />

What is your most<br />

memorable moment as<br />

a Giant?<br />

Definitely winning conference<br />

last year, because<br />

it was the first time since<br />

1975 or ‘76 or something.<br />

It was a really big team effort.<br />

I was really proud of<br />

my team in that moment.<br />

I’m a four-year starter, so<br />

when I made varsity as a<br />

freshman that was really<br />

exciting.<br />

Who is the funniest<br />

person on the team?<br />

I think Christina Martin.<br />

This one game, Allyson<br />

(Gordon), our setter, set it<br />

and Christina, our hitter,<br />

didn’t want to hit it, so she<br />

just said, ‘No.’ and passed<br />

it over to someone else.<br />

Do you have any<br />

superstitions before<br />

you play a match?<br />

I always listen to a song<br />

before we play. It’s “Til the<br />

Day I Die,” by TobyMac.<br />

What is your guilty<br />

pleasure?<br />

Ben and Jerry’s Phish-<br />

Food.<br />

What is one thing<br />

people don’t know<br />

about you?<br />

I am a black belt in Karate.<br />

I did it for 12 years. I<br />

stopped when I was 14.<br />

If you could travel<br />

anywhere in the<br />

world, where would<br />

you want to go?<br />

I think Ireland, because<br />

my grandma promised me<br />

Photo by Stuart-Rodgers<br />

Photography<br />

when I was born that she<br />

would take me there for<br />

high school graduation.<br />

It’s my mom’s heritage,<br />

too.<br />

Is that why you’re<br />

named Ireland?<br />

No, it’s not. My mom<br />

went in for an ultrasound<br />

during her pregnancy, and<br />

they noticed that there<br />

was a cyst in my brain<br />

... During that time they<br />

were praying, and asking<br />

friends to pray, and then<br />

two weeks later they went<br />

back for another ultrasound<br />

to check the development<br />

and the cyst was<br />

just gone. My dad said if<br />

the baby made it and was<br />

healthy then her name<br />

could be Ireland because<br />

Irish people are fighters<br />

and they don’t take crap<br />

from anyone.<br />

Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year<br />

Thelander’s foundation key<br />

for Ramblers’ good season<br />

Michael Wojtychiw<br />

Contributing Sports Editor<br />

When Mallory Thelander<br />

took over as Loyola<br />

Academy’s girls volleyball<br />

head coach last spring,<br />

one of the first things she<br />

wanted to do was change<br />

the culture of the program.<br />

The team was coming<br />

off of an upset in the<br />

regional semifinals and<br />

needed a fresh start.<br />

“I wanted to develop a<br />

sense of culture throughout<br />

the program, not just<br />

varsity,” Thelander said.<br />

According to Thelander,<br />

a lot of teams do big sister,<br />

little sister program,<br />

but when she was the<br />

head coach at Evanston<br />

the Wildkits did what she<br />

called families. Groups<br />

of four to five girls, all at<br />

different program levels,<br />

made up a group of volleyball<br />

players that would<br />

meet together before<br />

matches to support the<br />

team.<br />

“I wanted those girls to<br />

get to know me, but also<br />

get to know each other,”<br />

Thelander said.<br />

It didn’t take long for<br />

the girls to buy into the<br />

program, she said, and the<br />

athletes embraced that culture<br />

throughout the season.<br />

The newly adopted culture<br />

could even been seen in<br />

the stands, as members of<br />

the varsity team attended<br />

freshman and junior varsity<br />

matches, and players<br />

from the younger levels<br />

showed their support for<br />

the Ramblers at their supersectional<br />

match against<br />

Prairie Ridge.<br />

Thelander won 22nd<br />

Century Media’s inaugural<br />

Girls Volleyball Coach of<br />

the Year award for not only<br />

the installation of a new<br />

culture, but also bringing<br />

Loyola to heights it hadn’t<br />

achieved.<br />

The Ramblers won<br />

30 games, beat Mother<br />

McAuley for the first time<br />

in program history, won a<br />

sectional title for the first<br />

time since 2015 and got<br />

within one match of going<br />

to the state’s final four<br />

for only the second time in<br />

program history.<br />

“Coming into the season,<br />

I definitely thought<br />

that we should go fairly<br />

far in the postseason,” the<br />

coach said. “Going into<br />

the regional championship,<br />

it was kind of one of<br />

our big goals that I had for<br />

Game of the Week:<br />

• Lincoln-Way East (12-0) at Loyola Academy<br />

(9-3)<br />

Other matchups:<br />

• Brother Rice (12-0) at Marist (11-1)<br />

• Batavia (12-0) at Nazareth Academy (11-1)<br />

• Cary-Grove (12-0) at Notre Dame (10-2)<br />

• Montini (11-1) at Sterling H.S. (11-1)<br />

• Rochester (11-1) at McNamara (11-1)<br />

• Mount Carmel (11-1) at St. Charles North (9-3)<br />

them was to at least make<br />

it to the sectional round.<br />

I was very excited when<br />

we actually made it all the<br />

way to the supersectional;<br />

especially after that big<br />

win against Hersey.”<br />

With three seniors committed<br />

to play Division-I<br />

volleyball next season,<br />

many expected the Ramblers<br />

to make a deep<br />

playoff run. Mary Kate<br />

Lopez (Oregon State University),<br />

Elizabeth Ford<br />

(University of Pennsylvania)<br />

and Anne Martinson<br />

(Colgate University)<br />

were all key components<br />

to Thelander’s lineup this<br />

season, but there were two<br />

moments that really solidified<br />

Thelander’s suspicions.<br />

“We had just played<br />

New Trier in their tournament,<br />

the first tournament<br />

of our season, and we lost<br />

to them in three,” she said.<br />

“Coming back three days<br />

later and just annihilating<br />

them, I think that was kind<br />

of in my head like, ‘OK,<br />

these girls are here to compete,<br />

truly.’”<br />

Girls Volleyball Player of the Year<br />

Lopez’s vocal leadership plays<br />

role in Loyola’s successful year<br />

Michael Wojtychiw<br />

Contributing Sports Editor<br />

Mary Kate Lopez is a silent<br />

leader, someone who<br />

leads by example.<br />

However, coming into<br />

her senior season with<br />

Loyola Academy’s girls<br />

volleyball team, she hoped<br />

to develop her voice.<br />

“I’ve always been a silent<br />

leader, not really a<br />

verbal leader,” she said.<br />

“Being aggressive not just<br />

on the volleyball court<br />

is something I really improved<br />

on this year. I think<br />

our success on the court<br />

has helped me develop<br />

who I am off the court too,<br />

as a person.”<br />

Lopez’s leadership<br />

played a big role in why<br />

Loyola had its most successful<br />

season in recent<br />

memory, she helped lead<br />

the Ramblers to a sectional<br />

title, 30 wins and one step<br />

away from a trip downstate.<br />

It’s also one of the<br />

things that helped her earn<br />

22nd Century Media’s inaugural<br />

Girls Volleyball<br />

Player of the Year award.<br />

The 2018 season<br />

marked Lopez’s third season<br />

on the Ramblers varsity<br />

squad, but the first one<br />

in which the 6-foot-3-inch<br />

lefty moved into the setter/<br />

right-side hitter role. Despite<br />

setting for her club<br />

team in the offseason, Lopez<br />

had primarily been a<br />

hitter the past two seasons.<br />

“I think just setting literally,<br />

and figuratively<br />

setting, is one of my<br />

strengths,” she said. “I like<br />

how exciting hitting is, but<br />

I’m more of a ... I think<br />

I’m more of a team player<br />

my personality wise. So<br />

hitting is exciting and it’s<br />

cool to be tall, but I like<br />

setting more in the long<br />

run.”<br />

With a team of eight seniors,<br />

and multiple starters<br />

returning from last year’s<br />

squad, the Ramblers, despite<br />

the coaching change,<br />

had lofty expectations for<br />

themselves starting the<br />

season. Some of those<br />

goals included finishing<br />

top three in the Girls<br />

Catholic Athletic Conference<br />

and making it to the<br />

sectional finals which were<br />

achieved.<br />

The 2018 season also<br />

marked the first time a<br />

Loyola player, Lopez, was<br />

named the GCAC Player<br />

of the Year in a long time,<br />

if ever. The award came to<br />

a shock to the senior.<br />

“I really didn’t even<br />

know that (Player of the<br />

Year award) was a thing,”<br />

she said. “Even when I<br />

was younger, my dream<br />

was to be known for what<br />

I can do, and just prove<br />

what I can do and have my<br />

reputation precede me.<br />

“It was an amazing<br />

honor and I’m absolutely<br />

thrilled that I won it.”<br />

Lopez became Loyola’s<br />

first-ever Pacific-12 Conference<br />

recruit when she<br />

committed to play at Oregon<br />

State University in the<br />

summer between her sophomore<br />

and junior seasons.<br />

“What really got me,<br />

honestly, is that it’s such<br />

a big program, but they’re<br />

so close,” she said. “It’s a<br />

family.”<br />

‘Love of the game’ Schramm’s drive to coach<br />

Erin Redmond<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

It’s not uncommon for<br />

Chuck Schramm to be<br />

out and about in Highland<br />

Park and be recognized.<br />

When he’s been coaching<br />

as long as he has, it’s<br />

bound to happen.<br />

Schramm recently hung<br />

up his coaching hat after<br />

52 years at Highland Park<br />

High School. During his<br />

tenure, he coached a wide<br />

variety of sports, including<br />

basketball, baseball,<br />

softball, track and golf. He<br />

spent 30 of his 52 years<br />

with the latter.<br />

Over all that time, Schramm<br />

has seen many of his<br />

former players grow, send<br />

their children to <strong>HP</strong>HS and<br />

even some of their kids,<br />

too.<br />

NORTH SHORE<br />

“You walk down the<br />

streets of Highland Park<br />

and everyone says ‘hi,<br />

coach,” Schramm said.<br />

“You feel like you’re Santa<br />

Claus. It’s a great feeling.”<br />

Like his Christmas-time<br />

counterpart, Schramm<br />

gave his athletes gifts —<br />

priceless ones. His gifts,<br />

however, were intangible:<br />

the gifts of sportsmanship,<br />

winning and losing with<br />

grace and developing a<br />

love for their game.<br />

“I was one of those<br />

coaches who was very<br />

much about enjoying [the<br />

game], having fun with it,<br />

wanting to win — there’s<br />

no doubt about that — but<br />

we had music in the gym,<br />

we had the guys doing<br />

crazy, fun things,” Schramm<br />

said. “I think that’s<br />

what sports are supposed<br />

A 22ND CENTURY MEDIA PRODUCTION<br />

to be: they’re supposed to<br />

be fun. You can still reach<br />

your goals, I had all those<br />

Division-I players, and I<br />

know it worked because of<br />

a love of the game instead<br />

of fear.”<br />

It’s a love that has been<br />

a part of Schramm for as<br />

long as he can remember.<br />

He played basketball<br />

for Highland Park High<br />

School, graduating in 1951<br />

before continuing his career<br />

in college. The Boston<br />

Celtics drafted him, but he<br />

accepted a contract from<br />

Vickers Petroleum Company<br />

in Wichita, Kansas,<br />

instead because in those<br />

days, that’s where the<br />

money was.<br />

“A beer was a dime in<br />

those days, you could go to<br />

the movies for 12 cents —<br />

there was a big difference<br />

in what a dollar meant,” he<br />

said. “…[With the contract<br />

from Vickers] I thought<br />

I was a millionaire. I was<br />

very successful there and<br />

very happy. I did come<br />

back to Highland Park<br />

because I wanted to give<br />

back and help the kids.”<br />

In addition to working<br />

for <strong>HP</strong>HS, Schramm<br />

also spent more than 60<br />

years with the Park District<br />

of Highland Park<br />

and ran a basketball prep<br />

league in Deerfield to give<br />

those who were cut from<br />

the high school teams a<br />

chance to develop their<br />

skills. He also coached<br />

basketball at the College<br />

of Lake County. In fact,<br />

he simultaneously coached<br />

three basketball teams one<br />

season: two at the college<br />

and the girls team at Highland<br />

Park, leading the latter<br />

to the sectional finals<br />

that year.<br />

With more than half a<br />

century of coaching under<br />

his belt, Schramm said it<br />

was hard to pinpoint a favorite<br />

memory, but there is<br />

one that stood out.<br />

During his playing days<br />

at <strong>HP</strong>HS, he developed<br />

a friendly grudge for the<br />

Waukegan team, having<br />

lost to them 80-40 in his<br />

final game as a Giant. So<br />

when one of his teams got<br />

a shot at revenge, he took<br />

it.<br />

That particular year,<br />

Waukegan was ranked<br />

No. 5 in the state with an<br />

almost guaranteed shot to<br />

make it to state — but they<br />

had to get through Highland<br />

Park in the regionals<br />

first.<br />

“I’m a great believer in<br />

revenge,” he said with a<br />

laugh. “It sounds a little<br />

mean, but that’s the way<br />

sports are: you want to get<br />

even. They were supposed<br />

to go downstate and we<br />

bumped them off.”<br />

Schramm said there<br />

was no better feeling then<br />

coaching his team in front<br />

of packed crowds or in<br />

nail-biting games. He has<br />

seen many of his players<br />

go on to play in college,<br />

go pro in Europe and even<br />

make the NBA. But for<br />

him, it was never about<br />

riding on the accomplishments<br />

of his athletes. He<br />

was simply doing his job.<br />

“When I first started<br />

coaching, they didn’t pay<br />

— it was an honor,” Schramm<br />

said. “The way I feel<br />

about coaching, and why I<br />

lasted so long, was that I<br />

always thought it was an<br />

honor to coach Highland<br />

Park kids. They’re great<br />

kids.”<br />

Last December, those<br />

“great kids” became even<br />

greater in the Giants’<br />

coach’s eyes. After being<br />

diagnosed with cancer, he<br />

went to see his oncology<br />

doctor, only to learn it was<br />

a former player. And when<br />

it was time to start chemotherapy<br />

at Whitehall of<br />

Deerfield, he was stunned<br />

to see his chemotherapy<br />

doctor was a former athlete<br />

of his, too. And it ended up<br />

being former players who<br />

helped him achieve his<br />

biggest victory of all.<br />

“I won the battle. I<br />

fought the battle and I<br />

won. That was big,” Schramm<br />

said.<br />

It wasn’t cancer that led<br />

to his decision to retire,<br />

however; it was just time.<br />

With a bad knee and an<br />

85th birthday coming up<br />

in November, Schramm<br />

said he simply wanted to<br />

have more time to spend<br />

with his wife Marsha,<br />

his four children and 12<br />

grandchildren — including<br />

his grandson who is in<br />

his senior season playing<br />

basketball at Deerfield.<br />

Schramm said he wanted<br />

to go out on top and<br />

with this year’s varsity<br />

golf squad, he truly felt<br />

like he did.<br />

Schramm will be honored<br />

at the Deerfield-Highland<br />

Park basketball game<br />

Jan. 10, 2019 for his years<br />

of coaching.<br />

“All I wanted was a little<br />

thanks and that’s what<br />

they’re going to say,” he<br />

said. “It’s been fun.”
