Winnetka Library Patio
Project to begin fall 2019
NEIL MILBERT
Freelance Reporter
The newly-renovated
Winnetka Library is going
to expand to the great outdoors.
Library director Rebecca
Wolf, communications
and marketing director
Sarah Quish, library board
president Brian Johnson
and fellow trustees Jean-
Paul Ruiz-Funes, Kathleen
Reichert, Suzie Shoup and
Keta McCarthy rolled out
the welcome mat to the
public for three hours on
Nov. 7 at a reception previewing
the Winnetka Library
Patio Project that is
expected to begin in the
fall of 2019.
“About a year ago we
had a committee made
up of some community
members, the trustees
and our staff get involved
and starting talking about
our outdoor space,” Wolf
said. “At the time, we also
were looking at our indoor
space for our $2.1 million
renovation. We talked
about the outdoor space
and decided to come back
to it after the renovation
was completed.”
The renovation was
completed and the library
reopened on June 23.
Then, the committee began
brainstorming about
the expansion outdoors.
“The idea is to create
a gateway to our library
from Green Bay Road
into Winnetka,” Wolf added.
“We want the outdoor
space to highlight the features
of the mid-century
modern building and also
show the life that’s in
the building. We’ll have
things like the blue stone
paving that are true to our

building.
“We’re trying to make
sure we have green space
to emphasize our park-ish
nature. When you’re in
our study room you’ll see
a great open field. A lot
of our (interior) remodeling
was about creating an
organic feeling. This is another
step toward that. I’ve
not seen a library remodeled
to have both indoor
and outdoor space.”
The Lakota Group is the
landscape architect.
At the reception the
architect’s posters with
drawings and pictures illustrated
the three stages of
the project: 1, the north entrance;
2, the west/northwest
children’s garden; 3,
the south parking lot.
An outline enumerated
the project’s five guiding
principles: 1, having the
entrance be a gateway to
an open community space;
2, creating awareness of
library activities to help
drive usage; 3, having the
outdoor space serve as a
space for programming;
4, maintaining and enhancing
the original midcentury
modern style of
the building; 5, keeping in
mind safety and comfort.
Establishing a gateway
and creating awareness of
library activities will be
the points of emphasis in
the north entrance stage.
The west/northwest children’s
garden will create
an outdoor program space
for the library’s youngest
users and will highlight the
west side of the building.
“What we envision is
kind of a secret garden,
a small and tucked away
space for smaller children,”
Wolf said. “It’s a
wonderful way to accent
the whole front area.”
The south parking lot
will be in compliance with
the Americans With Disabilities
Act (ADA) and
there will be stroller parking
and bike parking.
“Now we need to make
sure all of the (Village)
commissions approve,”
Wolf said. “If we are able
to begin next fall, I think
we’ll be done in a month
or two.”
Winnetka Village Council
Purchase of emergency backup
transformer OK’d at $30.5K
Fouad Egbaria
Freelance Reporter
The Winnetka Village
Council approved a resolution
to award a contract
for the purchase of a new
backup transformer.
The council voted to
approve a contract with
electrical equipment distributor
Resco, at a purchase
cost of $30,562 for
the transformer unit, during
its Thursday, Nov. 8
regular meeting (which
had been rescheduled
from Nov. 6).

included in the board

The Village received
bids for the transformer
from five vendors, but ultimately
voted to reject the
other bids, waive the bidding
process and award
the contract to Resco, as
transformers are awarded
on a life cycle cost basis.
“The Village has solicited
bids for an emergency
backup transformer, however
because of the method
used to calculate the
value of the equipment,
it’s necessary to reject
the lowest material bid in
order to receive the best
value for the Village,”

The Sacred Heart School

11, for a celebratory Mass
and assembly, recognizing

accomplishment of being

“Here at Sacred Heart
there is an atmosphere of
care,” Lanza said “This
award is not about the
work of just one, but the
dedication, sacrifice and
energy of so many. The
award reflects an attitude
that everyone, from
parents and teachers to
students and staff are all
in. Day in and day out,
administrators are all in
by a handling a multitude
of challenges, while encouraging
students to be

and expectations for
administrators and teachers;
proven involvement of
parents reflecting a teamwork
approach.
“I would also like to
credit our principal Kristen
Fink, who spent countless
hours completing over 80
pages of documentation,
showing that the Sacred
Heart school is a community
filled with leaders
who share a vision
and a mission, to achieve
excellence, by working
collaboratively with
one another,” Handelman
said. “Through this process,
so many examples
of how this community —
whether it be the students,
teachers, administrators or
staff — go above and beyond
for one another. To
be recognized for the types
of behaviors that occur so
naturally to us is beyond
exciting for all.”
At the end of the mass,
the actual Blue Ribbon
plaque was presented on
the altar, as the congregation
applauded with pride.
Next, eighth-grade students
Fiona McCaffery
and Jane Rushin took to
the podium giving their
own accounts of why Sacred
Heart received such a
prestigious award.
“There are so many
wonderful lessons that
we learn here at Sacred
Heart,” Rushin said. “We
go to mass every Wednesday
to unite in prayer. Our
teachers are always there
to help us be our best, but
at the same time, encourage
us to take the lead in

“Our teacher’s support
never ends,” McCaffery
added. “They teach us
how to make good decisions
both in and outside
of school. They help us become
better students and
better people and offer us
constant support. We learn
how important it is to be
kind to everyone and work
together as one team.”
Soon after, Fink took to
the podium, announcing
the celebration would continue
at the school.
As folks poured out of
the church, they were greeted
to the tunes of bagpipe,
while children waved blue
pom-poms. At the school,
president of the Parent Association,
Kelly Vergamini,
greeted guests, explaining
why the Sacred Heart community
is like no other.
“When one of us falls,
another is there to pick us
up,” she said. “I can speak
from personal experience
and I know others who
can as well, that this community
is at its strongest
when one of our families
needs help and prayers.
That’s part of what I believe
makes Sacred Heart
so special.”

Democrats sweep North Shore races amid ‘blue wave’
Staff Report
With the highest turnout
for a gubernatorial election
in nearly three decades on
Nov. 6, suburban Cook
County voters rode a national
“blue wave” to push
Democrats to a sweep in
North Shore races.
According to Cook
County Clerk David Orr,
and with 1,479 of 1,599
precincts reporting, voters
cast 778,409 votes as of 11
p.m. that evening.
In Lake County, with
415 of 415 precincts reporting,
448,295 votes had
been cast. In the last gubernatorial
race in 2014,
Lake County voters cast
202,532 votes.
The results of the following
races are not official.
Rep. Fine gains seat in
District 9 Illinois Senate
Rep. Laura Fine, D-
Glenview, was voted in as
the new state senator representing
District 9, a seat
vacated by Sen. Daniel
Biss, D-Evanston.
After leading with 71.72
percent of the votes against
Joan McCarthy Lasonde,
of Wilmette, Fine thanked
her voters and family at
a watch party at Wildfire
restaurant in Glenview.
“People were asleep at
the wheel years ago and
we woke up the sleeping
giant,” said Fine, 51, of
Glenview. “We have been
tremendous.”
Before the race was
called, Fine told 22nd
Century Media if she won,
it would show how people
“really appreciate what
I’ve been able to accomplish
in the House.”
Fine, a state representative
since 2013, is an advocate
for public education,
healthcare reform and preserving
programs for children,
seniors, and people
living with disabilities.
Lasonde, a former marketing
executive, previously
told 22nd Century
Media that her legislative
agenda would include balancing
the state budget,
reducing taxes and ending
political corruption. She
did not respond to questions
from 22nd Century
Media on Election Night
nor before press time

Schakowsky wins 11th
term as U.S. Rep. for 9th
District
U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky,
D-Evanston, and
her supporters gathered at
Rock ’N Ravioli in Evanston
to watch the returns in
the race for the 9th District
seat.
Schakowsky, who has
held the seat since 1999,
defeated Republican challenger
John Elleson, a
pastor from Arlington
Heights. With all 314
precincts reported, Schakowsky
was up 67 percent
(130,059) to Elleson’s 33
percent (61,865).
For Schakowsky, the
win marks her 11th term in
the seat and she will head
back to Washington as
part of a Democratic-led
House.
A call to Schakowsky
had not been returned as of
press time.
Elleson, who was running
his first political race,
said he learned a lot from
the campaign.
“This district is hard. I
have no regrets,” Elleson
said. “Jan congratulated
me for running a clean
race and I did the same to
her. We pledged to work
together even before this,
no matter the outcome.”

Gabel retains 18th District
Representative seat
State Rep. Robyn Gabel,
D-Evanston, celebrated a
victory Tuesday night in
the race for the 18th District
seat in Illinois House
of Representatives. She
defeated Republican challenger
Julie Cho, of Wilmette.
With all 80 precincts reported,
results show Gabel
was up 72 percent (37,448)
to 28 percent (14,581) for
Cho.
For Gabel, the victory
marks her fifth term in
the seat. Cho was running
for her first political campaign.
“This next term I plan
to work on stabilizing Illinois’
fiscal condition, combatting
climate change by
moving our transportation
sector to electric and our
power sector to 100 percent
renewable, and increasing
access to mental health services
and other social services,”
Gabel said.
The 18th district includes
parts of Winnetka,
Northfield, Wilmette,

Keys further explained
the process of transformer
procurement.
“Transformers are a
unique situation that
someone could give you
a very low first price,
but it has a lot of electrical
losses,” he said. “[In]
transformer evaluation we
look at life cycle cost of
the transformer and base
our recommendation [on
that]. On this particular
case tonight, the lowest
life cycle cost also was the
lowest first purchase price
of the transformer.”
The vendor took exception
to an indemnification
clause within the contract,
Keys said, but staff
worked with the Village
Attorney to adjust the legal
language to a mutually
agreeable form.
Keys added staff pursued
the option of purchasing
directly from the
manufacturer, Ermco.
“There’s a limited number
of U.S. suppliers of
transformers, we were
informed that basically
they’re not going to go
away from their existing
contractual agreements
with Resco,” Keys said.
“So there’s not a way to
sidestep this issue.”
According to documents
included in the
agenda packet for the
meeting, the 2018 Electric
Fund includes $231,132
for the procurement of
transformers, of which
$59,741 had been expended
to date. The packet
also shows the other
four transformer unit bids
came in at: $30,891, from
WEG; $35,730, from
Anixter; $33,798, from
WESCO; and $52,134.37,
from Graybar Electric.

underwent its first comprehensive
review of the
proposed budget Oct. 26,
Sloth said.
The budget comes in at
$79.5 million, including a
0.4 percent operating increase
and a 5.5 percent
increase in total compared
with the 2018 budget.
Sloth said the 5.5 percent
increase is largely
driven by spending in the
capital improvement plan,
which totals $19.1 million
in the proposed 2019 budget.
A public hearing on
the budget is scheduled
for the Village Council’s
Nov. 20 regular meeting.
The budget will then be
up for final approval during
the Dec. 4 meeting.

New Trier alumna appears on ‘The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert’
Libby Elliott
Freelance Reporter
A North Shore resident
and Glencoe restaurateur
Betsie Hicks got 15-minutes
of fame — literally
— when she made an impromptu
appearance on
“The Late Show with Stephen
Colbert.”
CBS’s hugely popular
late-night talk show
draws an average of 3.83
million viewers a night.
Hick’s appeared in a segment
of the show that
aired at 10:30 p.m. the
evening of Oct. 29, taking
many of her unsuspecting
friends by surprise as they
watched the show from
their homes.
“Right away we started
hearing from friends and
neighbors,” said Hicks, a
Highland Park resident.
“The calls and texts continued
the next morning,
even as we were heading
to the airport.”
Hicks and her husband,
Frank — proprietors of
the longstanding Green
Bay Road-bistro, Frank
and Betsie’s — were in
the middle of a threeday
jaunt to New York to
visit their nephew, a PhD
student at Columbia University,
when their niece
scored them VIP tickets
to a studio taping of Colbert’s
top-rated show.
Turns out, Hicks’s niece,
who works at NBC, alerted
colleagues at CBS to
her aunt and uncle’s arrival.
Soon after Hicks took
her seat in the studio audience,
production staff approached
to find out if she
suffered from stage fright.
“I said ‘no,’ even
though the truth is, ‘yes,’”
Hicks said, laughing.
After signing a quick

Glencoe, speaks with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show.” Photo Courtesy of CBS
YouTube Page
contract and settling in
to watch the show, Hicks
was pulled on stage by
Colbert himself, who used
the North Shore native
as a sidekick for a Halloween
greeting card skit
called “First Drafts.”
Hicks and Colbert
had an easy rapport and
wound up chatting on
stage for more than 20
minutes about a wide
range of topics, including
Chicago’s famous improv
troupe, Second City, as
well as Colbert’s famous
alma mater, Northwestern
University.
“The lights on stage are
bright,” Hicks said. “And
there are well over 1,000
people in the audience.
But sitting in that chair,
right next to his desk, it
felt like we were having a
real conversation.”
Hicks said she told Colbert
about her grandfather,
a Northwestern alum who
graduated from the university
during the Great
Depression.
“I mentioned that my
grandfather’s name was
Livingstone Porter Hicks
and that his friends nicknamed
him ‘Dead Rock,’”
Hicks said. “Colbert
thought that was pretty
funny.”
Hicks, who grew up in
Winnetka and attended
New Trier High School,
also learned that Colbert
attended Hampden Sydney
College in Virginia at
roughly the same time she
was studying at nearby
Sweet Briar College.
Hicks and Colbert also
chatted about the Chicago-based
improvisation
group, Second City, where
Colbert got his start.
Hicks’s revealed that both
her nephew and brother
are graduates of Second
City’s training program.
According to Hicks, all
but five minutes of footage
from her appearance
was cut during post-production.
“At one point, Colbert
said ‘I’m running long
with you, but I’m really
enjoying our conversation,’”
Hicks said.
As a parting gift, Colbert
gave Hicks a plastic
pumpkin bucket filled with
Halloween candy, a souvenir
she is proudly displaying
in her restaurant.
“It was such an experience,”
Hicks said. “I will
never forget it.”

New Trier-based group fights racism on North Shore
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
The topic of race can
strike a nerve, making the
often emotional and controversial
matter, one that
many avoid altogether.
But, a group of well-meaning
District 203 educators,
parents, students and even
New Trier alumni, are taking
the bold step to examine
what they believe
are both blatant and silent
facts of discrimination that
are prevalent within New
Trier Township and across
the North Shore.
The group Heros, an
acronym for Healing Everyday
Racism in Our
Schools, was conceived
after offensive graffiti
was found on New Trier’s
campus last winter. Naturally,
many were shocked,
but as Heros members began
to take a closer look,
they learned from students
that such instances are not
all that uncommon.
“After the third act of
racism fueled graffiti,
many of us sprung into
action to see just how big
of a problem racism really
is within the school.
It is then that we learned,
mainly from students,
that racial slurs are pretty
common, prompting many
concerned individuals to
get to the root of the problem,”
said Heros member
Alan Hatchett.
The group began interviewing
students and
researching the situation,
finding many shocking
revelations along the way,
such as: black students
at NT and their middle
school counterparts noted
the casual and almost
daily use of the n-word;
black students at New
Trier reported being called
the n-word by their white
New Trier classmates at
a football game and told
to sit with the other, more
culturally-diverse, rival
team; Jewish students and
their allies described multiple
cases of anti-Semitic
jokes, several of which directly
targeted Jewish students
themselves.
These alarming findings
prompted the group
to create and present an
eight-point proposal to the
School Board, hoping for
changes such as: 1. Meet
regularly with students and
parents of color, concerned
parents and alumni; 2. Hiring
a diverse workforce; 3.
Developing an anti-racist,
pro-justice curriculum;
4. Funding and training a
student-led bias response
team; 5. Implementing a
restorative justice program
with full-time, licensed
practitioners 6. Fostering
interracial insight and understanding
through a revitalized
Seminar Day; 7.

students; 8. Building affordable
housing on the
North Shore to increase
neighborhood diversity.
These suggestions are
currently being reviewed
by the School Board, with
hopes that some or all will
be implemented into New
Trier’s long-term 2030
strategic planning.

New Trier Township Food Pantry seeks support on Giving Tuesday

hiring a diverse workforce,
would require some time,
but, ideas like maintaining
regular conversations between
our group and families
with students of color,
are happening right now.
We are excited to keep the
conversation going across
town,” Hatchett said.
One step to opening the
doors to dialogue occurred
on Sept. 27 when Heros
invited the public to the
Baha’i Temple Welcome
Center, to view the film,
“The Long Shadow,” a
documentary created by
privileged daughters of
Giving Tuesday, the
global day of giving, takes
place on Nov. 27. In its
seventh year, this event
marks the beginning of
the holiday giving season,
with intense focus on social
media and community
collaboration.
“Although the economic
times have improved,
many of our elderly and
disabled neighbors continue
to struggle with food insecurity,”
said Alan Goldberg,
supervisor of New
Trier Township. “Usage of
our food pantry is on the
rise and we hope community
members will include
our pantry in their holiday
giving.”
The New Trier Township
Food Pantry has served the
North Shore since 1965.
Approximately 85 percent
of the supplemental groceries,
paper goods and
the south, haunted by their
own families ties to slavery.
Following the film,
folks settled into an intense,
civil and eye-opening
discussion, much to
the delight of Heros member
Cynthia Barnes-Slater,
of Evanston.
“Acknowledging racism
is tough and people don’t
want to admit that it still
exists, but I feel it every
day, whether people intend
it or not. The other day, I
realized that my license
was expired and I feared
a run-in with the law; not
because of my expired license,
but because I am an
African American woman
with an expired license,”
Barnes-Slater said.
personal hygiene items are
provided by local residents
and business people wishing
to help those in need.
A portion of the township
budget is used to purchase
produce, meat, laundry detergent
and hygiene items

programs.
Donations of food or
money would be appreciated.
Donors can mail
checks made payable to

“These are the types of
things a person of color
worries about. I just want
the community I live in to
be free of prejudice, to be
culturally diverse. I don’t
want to walk around feeling
divided and I hope
that by opening the door
to dialogue, we can begin
to make changes and learn
from one another. We all
have a unique perspective
to share and can learn from
one another if we listen
and stay open to exploring
some of the tough topics.”
Hatchett himself, said
he was floored when the
Sept. 27 showing was sold
out, and equally floored by
the conversations that ensued.

“It was really interesting
to hear the conversations
going on around me;
people couldn’t stop talking
and we literally had
to shut the meeting down
after a certain length of
time,” Hatchett said. “It
is clear to me that people
have a lot to say and we
hope to provide an environment
where this type
of dialogue can take place
in a safe, judgment-free

District 36 awarded for
outstanding financial
reporting
The Association of
School Business Officials
International awarded The
Winnetka Public Schools
District 36 with the Certificate
of Excellence in
Financial Reporting.
ASBO International’s
certificate recognizes districts
that have met the
program’s high standards
for financial reporting and
accountability. The school
district earned the Certificate
of Excellence for its
Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) for
the fiscal year ended 2017.
“The [certificate’s] mission
is to promote and
recognize excellence in financial
reporting, specifically
through a district’s
CAFR,” ASBO International
Executive Director
John Musso says. “The
CAFR informs parents and
other stakeholders about
the financial and economic
state of the district, making
it an important communications
tool for building
trust and engaging with the
school community.”
By participating in the
certificate program, school
districts demonstrate their
commitment to financial
transparency. Applicants
submit their CAFR for review
by a team of professional
auditors, who provide
feedback to improve future
documents. If the CAFR
meets the requirements of
the program, the document
may receive the Certificate
of Excellence. A district’s
participation in the COE
program can facilitate bond
rating and continuing bond
disclosure processes.
New Trier’s Class of 2018
among top in country on
ACT exam
New Trier High School
recorded its highest ACT
composite score in school
history, 28.0, once again
ranking New Trier among
the highest-performing
schools in the country on
the college entrance exam.
New Trier provided a
school-day ACT exam to
the entire Class of 2018
in addition to the state’s
SAT exam. The State of Illinois
recently switched its
required high school test
from the ACT to the SAT.
The ACT is a college
entrance exam that tests
for academic achievement
in English, math, reading,
science, and an optional
writing portion, with
scores of 1-36 in each category.
New Trier students
performed exceptionally
well in all four areas,
achieving an average score
of 28.7 in English, 27.3 in
mathematics, 28.4 in reading,
and 27.0 in science.
New Trier students have
continued to outperform
their peers across the nation,
showing high achievement
across all course
levels. The Class of 2016
and 2017 both recorded
ACT composite scores of

Shifting our focus to the holidays
Megan Bernard
megan@glencoeanchor.com
Last week when we
received our first
snow of the season,
my Halloween decorations
were still up outside.
A little embarrassed for
my delay in taking them
down, I rushed outside,
unplugged my ghost
lights, ripped down my
fake cobwebs and took
out the gravestones from
the lawn. The previous
weekend was rainy so I
hadn’t had a chance to get
outside and now everything
was dusted with
snow. ... What?
Unprepared for the
switch in seasons, I was
a little shocked at the
precipitation and the bitter
cold days that followed;
however, it forced me to
switch my mindset to the
upcoming holidays.
In Northfield and Winnetka,
the holiday events
are quickly approaching.
I’ve jotted them down on
my calendar, excited to
see so many fun things
coming up so soon!
We also printed our
annual Holiday Guide last
week. I hope you had a
chance to take a look at it;
the guide was inserted in
the middle of this paper.
If for some reason you
missed the roundup of
holiday events, stay updated
with our community
calendar on Page 2. This
season, I’m going to do
my best to preview some
of the larger events and
also have recaps published
in the paper.
I’m always looking for
unique stories, though. I
still remember the deckedout
Christmas basement I
once visited in Winnetka,
and even the amazing
holiday displays throughout
town each year. So if
you have a holiday story
or tradition to share, give
me a shout at megan@
winnetkacurrent.com.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Five subjects in stolen
vehicle attempt to elude
police near Northbrook-
Deerfield border
The Deerfield Police
Department has five subjects
in custody after a vehicle,
believed to be stolen,
crashed into two other
vehicles on Lake Cook
Road near the Northbrook-Deerfield
border,
according to Thomas E.
Keane, deputy chief of the
Deerfield Police Department.
According to Keane,
the Kenosha Police Department
alerted towns
along Route 41 that it was
tracking a stolen vehicle
that was reportedly in the
area.
The vehicle made its way
into Highland Park when
an officer saw it turn onto
Lake Cook and proceed
Westbound, according to
Keane. Per Keane, the vehicle
then turned down a
street near P.F. Chang’s,
turned around and proceeded
eastbound on Lake
Cook.
The vehicle next attempted
to go between two
cars, which were stopped
at the traffic light, and
made contact with both,
resulting in a traffic accident
that disabled the vehicle,
per Keane. Shortly
after, a Deerfield officer
pulled up to the scene and
saw the subjects from the
stolen vehicle attempt to
flee the scene.
With the assistance of the
Northbrook and Highland
Park Police Departments,
the Cook County Sheriff’s
Department, and other local
agencies, five individuals
are now in custody.
“They are an assortment
of adults and juveniles,”
Keane told The Northbrook
Tower. “No one has
been officially charged yet.
We’re still investigating
and working with Kenosha
Police Department to
try and determine what we
have here.”
Reporting by Northbrook
Tower staff. Full story at

School recycling collector ‘a fixture of New Trier’
Megan Bernard, Editor
There’s a smiling face
roaming through the hallways
at New Trier’s Northfield
campus, and even on
your worst days, it’s bound
to cheer you up.
Enter Jay Slotnick.
The recycling collector
has worked at the school
for 25 years and has built
a countless amount of lifelong
friendships with administrators,
teachers and
custodial staff.
While collecting recycling,
Slotnick, who has
special needs, engages in
playful banter — most likely
about his favorite sports
team, the Chicago Cubs
— and is sure to share a
quick story or ask how his
friends’ days are going.
But the charmer has quite
a story of his own to share.
Before he began working
for New Trier in 1993,
Slotnick, a Northbrook resident,
was “mainstream for
drama” at Glenbrook South
High School, his mother
Valerie said.
“He attended GBS because
of its outstanding
special-needs program,” she
added. “He really excelled
there. He was the student
of the week; it was the first
time the school ever picked
someone from special ed.”
Having “no reservations
for getting up and entertaining
people,” Valerie
said, Slotnick participated
in school plays, which lead
him to the start of a possible
modeling career postgraduation
in 1992.
“We went to Shirley
Hamilton and all these
agencies, and they thought
he was absolutely wonderful
being special needs and
handsome — what a combination,”
she said.
“So we’d get calls from
California saying, ‘Can
you bring Jay to California
tomorrow?’ Then we got
another call for an American
Airlines commercial in
Florida.”
After several calls and
possible job offers, Slotnick
decided the modeling
industry wasn’t for him. He
didn’t want to be traveling
and be away from home all
the time.
Fortunately, another opportunity
came when the
Slotnicks’ phone rang once
again. This time, it was a
different caller: North Suburban
Special Recreation
Association.
NSSRA, a Northbrook
organization that Slotnick
was (and still is) heavily
involved with, was based
at New Trier’s Northfield
Campus. At the time, the
building was not used by
the school; however, NS-
SRA staff knew of an open
position at New Trier.
“They called me and
said, ‘If Jay is interested,
New Trier is looking for a
person just like Jay to do
recycling for the school,’”
Valerie said.
Slotnick, who still remembers
the exact interview
day (Wednesday,
Dec. 16, 1992), was hired
on the spot and began the
recycling position following
winter break in 1993.
“Way back in the heyday,”
Slotnick said, laughing.
Upon starting, Slotnick
was able to choose the
hours he worked. He decided
every day, Monday
through Friday, 9 a.m.-4:30
p.m.
Throughout the years,
his schedule consolidated
a bit with some budget
cuts and Slotnick moved
to the Northfield Campus
in 2001, when District 203
Jay Slotnick (center) poses with Dafton Blair (left) and Dave Conway, of New Trier’s Physical Plant Services
Department in Northfield. Slotnick has worked for the school since 1993. Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media
reopened the campus.
During his shift, Slotnick
pushes blue barrels donning
seasonal logos of his
favorite sports teams —
the Chicago Cubs, Blackhawks,
Bulls and Northwestern
Wildcats — while
collecting recycling from
each department.
“Everyone loves it,”
Slotnick said of the logos
on his barrels.
“Here comes the bestlooking
recycling man with
two blue bins,” he added,
laughing.
For administrators, like
Director of Communications
Niki Dizon, visiting
with Slotnick makes their
day “immediately a little
bit better.”
“Jay is a fixture of New
Trier. Everyone knows Jay;
everyone loves Jay,” Dizon
said. “We enjoy seeing him
come with his big blue recycling
barrels down the
hall. We’ll have a little engagement
about whatever
sports teams are playing.
Particularly if you’re not
rooting for Jay’s teams,
“No matter where ever we go — we could be at
the airport, walking downtown Chicago, in the
theater — there’s always a ‘Hi, Jay.’”
Valerie Slotnick — Jay’s mother on her son’s personal relationships after
working at New Trier High School for 25 years.
we’ll have some goodnatured
trash talk a little
bit. It always ends up very
friendly.”
“You just have to talk to
Jay for a minute and you’ll
start smiling,” added Lia
Kass, New Trier’s communications
specialist.
Slotnick’s workday
positivity has gained him
many additional New Trier
friends along the way.
That was evident one
year when Slotnick was
playing Woody in Glenview
Park District’s “Toy
Story.”
“Unbeknownst to me,”
Valerie said, “Jay had taken
fliers [to New Trier] and
when we came to his play
that night, one of the ladies
from NSSRA said, ‘Do you
know there is a huge group
of people coming from
New Trier?’ I said, ‘What?’
There were 25 or 30 people
that showed up to see his
play.”
New Trier is “a real family
for him,” Valerie added.
“He thoroughly enjoys
it,” she said. “No matter
where ever we go — we
could be at the airport,
walking downtown Chicago,
in the theater — there’s
always a ‘Hi, Jay.’”
Slotnick has also received
support at several
other activities, like when
he won back-to-back gold
medals in 2012 and 2013 at
the regional Special Olympics
swimming meet. At
state, he’s earned two silver
medals and a bronze in
swimming, as well.
Additionally, Slotnick
has won a gold medal in
Special Olympics bowling
and continues to act in area
theater programs.
The multi-talented recycling
collector shamelessly
plugged his next Brightstar
Theatre show, “Johnny B.
Goode,” in the spring, hoping
his New Trier friends
will make it out once again
as he plays the lead role.
“New Trier is like a huge
family to me,” Slotnick
said, “and I love my family
so bad.”

In Memoriam
Barbara Lou Davidson
Friends and family
grieve the loss of New Trier
graduate Barbara Davidson,
who was 91 when

March 19, 1927 to Bertha
Mae Gebo and Louis Henry
Ingwersen in Oakland.
She grew up on the North
Shore of Chicago with her
two brothers, Robert and
James. She graduated from
New Trier Township High
School. Davidson studied
at Monticello Seminary
for Women in Godfrey, Ill.
and Frances Harrington’s
Institute of Interior Design
in Chicago.
She married Don Q. Davidson
at Church of the
Holy Comforter in Kenilworth
in 1950. The couple
raised a family of three
girls while Don worked 25
years for Ladies’ Home
Journal. Davidson embodied
the magazine’s motto,
“Never Underestimate the
Power of a Woman.” Curtis
Publishing transferred
the couple from Chicago
to Minneapolis and back
again, and then to New

York in 1968, when they
settled in Wilton, Conn.
In 1975, after their girls
left the nest, the Davidsons
adopted their two grandsons
and began a second
family.
When Don retired, he
took up cabinetmaking
and worked under his
wife’s astute direction in
her interior design business.
Davidson freelanced
her entire adult life, lending
her prodigious talents
to clients, to friends, to
the Flower Guild at St.
Matthew’s where she worshipped
for fifty years,
and throughout her eighties,
as a volunteer of the
Women’s Board of Norwalk
Hospital, designing
the windows for their thrift
store, Treasure House.
Davidson found great
solace wiling away the
hours in her garden. The
satisfaction of seeing the
result of one’s labor grow
and flourish, and sharing
her homes and gardens
with family and friends
brought a richness and
fullness to her life.
She was a people magnet
because of her warm
spirit and broad smile and
the most optimistic person
even in the darkest
times; her vibrant smile
and hearty laughter uplifted
all who loved her.
Davidson’s perseverance
through adversity is her
legacy. She demonstrated
unparalleled strength and
wisdom through her life,
even when facing cancer.
Two days before she
died, she was dressed elegantly,
joking around,
beautiful and gracious,
in relationship, and clear
thinking. She is survived
by her husband, Don Q.
Davidson, her son Christopher
Davidson, her
daughter Karen Davidson
Seward, her son-in-law
Peter Seward, her brother
James J. Ingwersen, and
a spectacular array of
friends. Davidson was predeceased
by three other
children.

Cafe Pettopia celebrates
10 years in Highwood
Brittany Kapa
Contributing Sports Editor
Mike Pettorelli created
his own version of a culinary
utopia 10 years ago in
Highwood.
Pettorelli, owner and
head chef of Cafe Pettopia,
has spent the last 30 years
perfecting his culinary
skills and is now serving
up a mix of fan-favorite
dishes with classic family
recipes to area residents at
his Highwood restaurant.
He created a menu that
caters to both sweet and
savory palettes, and one
where customers can easily
find a dish to satisfy
any craving.
Pettorelli started his
culinary journey at Kendall
College in Chicago 30
years ago.
“When I went to culinary
school, I was taught
classical French cuisine,
and this is nothing like
that,” Pettorelli said. “This
is my take on a great breakfast
and lunch place.”
This is the second restaurant
Pettorelli has
opened in his career, and
he now focuses all of his
efforts at the cafe in Highwood.
He learned a few things
from his first restaurant,
mainly what worked and
what didn’t, and complied
that into what is now Cafe
Pettopia’s selection. And
since Pettorelli is a native
to Highwood, he knew just
what type of culinary excellence
he was up against
even before he opened
Cafe Pettopia 10 years ago
this month.
“It’s tough with the
competition, but definitely
I love having a restaurant
here,” he said. “It seems
Cafe Pettopia’s Italian sausage sandwich ($12.50) pairs
Luigi Manfredini’s handmade sausage with grilled
green peppers. Jason Addy/22nd Century Media
like I get more people from
the outlying areas than
Highwood people actually,
which is really nice.”
Pettorelli begins each
day at 5 a.m. prepping almost
everything on menu,
and the time and effort is
reflected in each dish on
the menu.
A group of 22nd Century
Media editors visited
Cafe Pettopia recently and
sampled a wide array of
dishes that Pettorelli offers,
including the tortellacci
for which the pasta is
made in-house.
“I’m from an Italian
family,” he said. “The tortellacci
is a house specialty
and a family recipe. I had
the tortellacci on the menu
of my last restaurant as
well. It’s great that people
still come and they still
love them.”
The tortellacci pasta
($16.95) is hand-rolled
and stuffed with ricotta
cheese, spinach and cream
filling.
The Italian sausage
sandwich ($12.50), another
customer favorite from
his previous restaurant, is
one of the only dishes Pettorelli
gets outside help on,
but for a good reason.
Cafe Pettopia
848 Sheridan Road,
Highwood
(847) 433-3727
7 a.m.-2 p.m Tuesday-
Saturday
8 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday
“We actually get the
sausage from a butcher,
a friend of my father’s.
His name is Luigi Manfredini,
and he used to own
a butcher shop with his
brothers years ago,” Pettorelli
said. “He’s retired,
but he came out of retirement
because his sausage
is so good.
“I told him that if I was
going to open a restaurant
that he would have to come
out of retirement. Happily,
he did it for me.”
The Italian sausage
sandwich is served on Italian
bread, with the perfectly
seasoned sausage
topped with melted Swiss
cheese and green peppers.
Cafe Pettopia offers
an extensive selection
of breakfast dishes, one
of which is the gourmet
French toast ($9.95).

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Mary Kate Lopez
The Loyola senior, who
will be playing volleyball
at Oregon State next
season, is also the starting
goalie on the water polo
team.
Do you have any
superstitions before,
during, or after a
match?
Before a match I always
look at the flag and identify
the five outer stars
on each corner. So like,
in my head, on the left
corner, there's like the star
in the middle and then
four stars around it and I
like go around it with my
eyes in a circle. And then
I go to the next corner ...
It's super weird. But I do
it every time during the
national anthem.
What's one thing
people don't know
about you?
I used to have pet snails in
third grade. I had probably
around 20.
What's the biggest
difference between
playing water polo
and volleyball?
They're very similar. Very
similar. I mean there's
the obvious one which is
it's not in water, playing
volleyball. But yeah,
water polo can be a very
individual sport. Like you
can have one really good
player, but volleyball you
need six good players to
be effective.
What's one item on
your bucket list?
To go skydiving.
What's one of your
biggest pet peeves?
People chewing really
loudly.
If you could go
anywhere in the
world, where would
you go and why?
I would definitely go
to Spain with my dad,
because he went with
his sister, and like totally
traveled around and he
said it was really cool. So,
I would totally wanna go
with him when I'm older.
What's the best part
about being a Loyola
athlete?
I think the fan base.
Loyola has such a good
fan base and they always
show up. Especially for
our big games and the
program really supports
each other, and other
programs support each
other, especially girls
sports. Yeah.
What's the best
part about playing
22nd Century Media File Photo
volleyball?
It's team sport and yeah. It
teaches you to work with
other people, even if you
don't know them, or you're
getting to know them.
If you could play
another sport what
would you play and
why?
I would definitely continue
playing basketball. I
miss playing basketball.
What's been your
favorite moment at
Loyola?
My favorite moment at
Loyola was definitely going
down state for water
polo. That was the highest
level of competition, well
like obviously beside volleyball,
but it was something
completely random.
No one expected us to be
so good. And we were the
complete underdog. Took
everyone by surprise.
And yeah, it was a group
effort. It was, Oh my gosh
it was so hard, but it was
amazing. I've never experienced
anything like it.

For the third consecutive
year, the New Trier Boys

a medal in the prestigious
Head of the Charles Regatta
in Cambridge, Massachusetts
on Oct. 20-21,
2018. For this event, medals
are given to the top five
finishers.
The New Trier Boys’

the only U.S. high school
team to medal three years
in a row in the history of
the Head of the Charles.
The New Trier Girls 1st

strong headwinds and a
crowded course to finish
22nd out of 85 crews.
“They competed fiercely

Girls Volleyball Player of the Year
Lopez’s vocal leadership
plays role in Loyola’s success
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year
Thelander’s foundation sets
Ramblers up for success
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Mary Kate Lopez has always
been a silent leader,
one that leads by example.
However, coming into
her senior season on the
Loyola girls volleyball
team, she was hoping to
expand on that more.
“I’ve always been a silent
leader not really a verbal
leader,” she said. “But
just being more comfortable
being loud like being
myself, being aggressive
not just on the volleyball
court is something I really
improved on this year.”
Her leadership played a
big role in why Loyola had
its most successful season
in recent memory, helped
lead the Ramblers to a sectional
title, 30 wins and
one step away from a trip
downstate. It’s also one of
the things that helped her
earn 22nd Century Media’s
inaugural Girls Volleyball
Player of the Year
honor.
The 2018 season marked
Lopez’s third season on
Loyola’s varsity squad, but
the first one in which the
6-foot-3-inch lefty moved
into the setter/right-side
hitter role. Despite setting
for her club team in
the offseason, Lopez had
primarily been a hitter the
past two seasons.
“And I think just setting
literally, and figuratively
setting also is one of my
strengths,” she said. “I like
how exciting hitting is but
I’m more of a ... I think I’m
more of a team player my
personality wise. So hitting
is exciting and it’s cool to
be tall, but I like setting
more in the long run.”
Loyola’s Mary Kate Lopez takes a swing against New
Trier earlier this season. 22nd Century Media File Photo
With a team of eight seniors
and multiple starters
returning from last year’s
squad, the Ramblers had
some lofty expectations
for themselves coming into
the season. Some of those
goals, like finishing top
three in the Girls Catholic
Athletic Conference and
making it to the sectional
finals were achieved.
The season marked the
first time a Loyola player
was named the GCAC
Player of the Year in a long
time, if ever. The award
came as a shock to Lopez.
“I really didn’t even
know that (Player of the
Year award) was a thing,”
she said. “Even when I
was younger, my dream
was to be known for what
I can do, and just prove
what I can do and have my
reputation precede me.
“It was an amazing honor.”
Lopez became Loyola’s
first-ever Pacific-12 Conference
recruit when she
committed to play at Oregon
State University in the
summer between her sophomore
and junior seasons.
While wanting to play
in arguably the nation’s
toughest conference was
definitely a draw, there
was something different
about going out west for
college.
“A lot of Loyola kids
stay in the area or go East
Coast or to the Ivys,” she
said. “Because I don’t envision
myself as a normal
Loyola kid, I wanted to be
different and I wanted to
go big and I think Oregon
State is the perfect place
for me to do that.
But before she heads
off to college, Lopez will
try to help lead the Loyola
girls water polo team back
to the state finals. Lopez is
the squad’s starting goalie
and helped the Ramblers
to a fourth-place finish last
season.
All that from a player
who thought she was going
to play in the WNBA.
“Growing up, I actually,
until probably seventh
grade, I wanted to play in
the WNBA,” Lopez said.
“Basketball was totally my
thing.”
Pretty safe to say that
Loyola girls volleyball,
water polo and soon to be
Oregon State volleyball
are all happy with Lopez’s
decision.

When Mallory Thelander
took over as Loyola
Academy’s girls volleyball
head coach last spring,
one of the first things she
wanted to do was change
the culture of the program.
The team was coming off
of an upset in the regional
semifinals and needed a
fresh start.
“I wanted to develop a
sense of culture throughout
the program, not just varsity,”
Thelander said.
According to Thelander,
a lot of teams do big sister,
little sister program,
but when she was the head
coach at Evanston the Wildkits
did what she called
families. Groups of four
to five girls, all at different
program levels, made up a
group of volleyball players
that would meet together
before matches to support
the team.
“I wanted those girls to
get to know me but also get
to know each other,” the
coach said.
It didn’t take long for the
girls to buy into the program,
Thelander said. The
athletes embraced that culture
throughout the season.
The newly adopted culture
could even been seen in
the stands, as members of
the varsity team attended
freshman and junior varsity
matches, and players from
the younger levels showed
their support for the Ramblers
at their supersectional
match against Prairie
Ridge.
Thelander won 22nd
Century Media’s inaugural
Girls Volleyball Coach of
the Year award for not only
Loyola Academy coach Mallory Thelander, 22nd
Century Media’s 2018 Coach of the Year, gives
instructions to her squad during the sectional final
match against Fremd Oct. 31 in Wilmette. 22nd Century
Media File Photo
the installation of a new
culture, but also bringing
Loyola to heights it hadn’t
achieved.
The Ramblers won 30
games, beat Mother McAuley
for the first time in program
history, won a sectional
title for the first time
since 2015 and got within
one match of going to the
state’s final four for only
the second time in program
history.
“Coming into the season,
I definitely thought
that we should go fairly
far in the postseason,” the
coach said. “Going into
the regional championship,
it was kind of one of
our big goals that I had for
them was to at least make
it to the sectional round. I
was very excited when we
actually made it all the way
to the supersectional; especially
after that big win
against Hersey.”
With three seniors committed
to play Division-I
volleyball next season,
many expected the Ramblers
to make a deep playoff
run. Mary Kate Lopez
(Oregon State University),
Elizabeth Ford (University
of Pennsylvania) and
Anne Martinson (Colgate
University) were all key
components to Thelander’s
lineup this season, but there
were two moments that really
solidified Thelander’s
suspicions.
“We had just played New
Trier in their tournament,
the first tournament of our
season, and we lost to them
in three,” she said. “Coming
back three days later
and just annihilating them, I
think that was kind of in my
head like, ‘OK, these girls
are here to compete, truly.’”
The Ramblers 2018 success
won’t be a one-off
situation either, Loyola
will lose four senior starters
from this year’s squad,
eight seniors in total, but the
future of the program will
not dim. Multiple members
of this year’s varsity
squad saw plenty of action
on the court due to injuries
and they will be joined by
a junior varsity squad that
finished the season with a
perfect 32-0 record.

Loyola picks up second straight shutout
Neil Milbert
Freelance Reporter
After avenging their loss
to the team that defeated
them in the 2016 Class 8A
state championship contest
in a quarterfinal road
game on Saturday, Nov.
10, the Loyola Academy
Ramblers will return home
on Saturday, Nov. 17, for
a semifinal encounter in
which they will try to bring
down the team that beat
them in the 2017 Class 8A
state title game.
The 19th-seeded Ramblers
went into the quarterfinal
at sixth-seeded Maine
South as underdogs but
they were dominant from
start to finish in every statistical
category in recording
a 17-0 victory.
Now, Loyola (9-3) must
challenge second-seeded
and defending champion
Lincoln-Way East, which
was a 50-14 winner in a
quarterfinal game against
23rd-seeded Edwardsville
that extended its winning
streak to 26 games.
In 2016, the Ramblers
flaunted a 30-game winning
streak that ended
when they last met Maine
South and lost 27-17 in the
championship game.
“It was in the back of
our heads,” center Joe Naselli
said. “Great win for
us and the guys who fell to
them in 2016 — great win
for our program, especially
on their home field. The
defense played great and
the offense came on strong
in the second half when we
needed it.”
The only other loss for
the Hawks was by three
points. They went into
the game averaging 37.2
points per game and they
had scored 21 points or
more in every outing.
Loyola wasn’t one bit
intimidated. Instead the
Ramblers bullied their opponents
— recording 17
first downs to the Hawks’
3, piling up 256 net yards
to the home team’s 71 and
controlling the football for
30 minutes, 46 seconds of
the 48 minutes. The winners
were 9-for-18 in third
down conversions, while
the Hawks were 0-for-10.
The Ramblers penetrated
to the Maine South 28-
yard line during their first

possession and the home
team’s 44 on their second
possession. The third time
they had the football they
got down to the 10 before
being forced to settle for
Nate Van Zelst’s 27-yard
field goal with 74 seconds
to play in the opening
quarter.
They began the third
quarter by going on a 13-
play touchdown drive that
covered 70 yards. The TD
came on Rory Boos’ end
zone catch of a 10-yard
pass from Jack Fallon and
the big play en route was
Matt Mangan’s 23-yard
catch of Fallon’s pass in a
third-and-seven situation
at the Loyola 33.

rammed over from one
yard out.
“The second touchdown
was very important and
after the third (quarter) we
felt very good,” Loyola
coach John Holecek said.
“When they are going to
have to score three times
against our defense with
that kind of pass rush it’s
going to be very hard to
do.”
Holecek lauded defensive
lineman Conor Hough
and linebackers Mike Kadus
and Sam Schierloh.
“Conor is a determined
smart kid who works his
butt off,” he said. “Mike
and Sam are very smart
and they’re so consistent;

the grip of Maine South defenders and up the field

if they make mistakes they
correct them immediately.”
The Hawks’ starting
quarterback, Cole Dow,
completed only two of his
10 passes and when he
tried to elude the oncoming
Ramblers he netted
only seven yards in seven
carries. After Loyola
scored the touchdown
that increased its lead to
10-0 Dow was relieved by
Bobby Inserra with fiveand-a-half
minutes to play
in the third quarter.
When he entered, he
activated the dormant
Hawks’ offense and they
drove to the Loyola 21
before being stopped on
downs.
However, on their next
possession, Inserra was
sacked by Armoni Dixon
for a 9-yard loss and then
his pass was intercepted
by Jake Gonzalez and returned
to the 7, setting up
Gavric’s touchdown.

New Trier has a bright
future with a lot of young
talented swimmers.
But those swimmers are
succeeding in the present
as well. The Trevians qualified
at least one swimmer
for the IHSA state meet
in every event during the
Glenbrook North Sectional
Saturday, November
10. Five of the swimmers
who qualified were freshmen
who helped New Trier
win the sectional with 304
points.
Freshman Carly Novelline
qualified in two events
as well as two relays winning
the 50-yard freestyle
in 23.58 seconds.
“For the 50, I was focusing
on the aspects that had
hurt me,” Novelline said.
“I’ve had some disqualifications
in the 50 so I spent
time before the sectional
working on my starts off
the blocks. Once I was
able to overcome that, I
knew what I needed to do.
I got out and was able to
win the race.”
Novelline was also third
in the 100-yard freestyle
(52.37) and was part of
the second place 200-yard
freestyle relay (1:36.99)
and third place 400-yard
freestyle relay (3:33.53).
Some of New Trier’s other
state qualifiers included
freshman Leslie Wendel in
the 200 free and 100-yard
butterfly, freshman Alexis
Wendel in the 200 free
and 500-yard freestyle and
winners were Greta Pelzek
in the butterfly, freshman
Jane Sanderson in the
backstroke and freshman
Kaelyn Gridley in the 100-
yard breaststroke.
Two Trevian divers also
qualified for the state meet
as last year’s state runnerup
Katie Lipsey took second
with 478.65 points
and Erin McNally third
with 459.
Glenbrook South’s
Catherine Devine had
qualified in the 50 free last
season. But this season,
she added the 100 free to
her list of state qualifications.
Devine was fourth in
the 100 (52.42) and felt it
was because she was much
more focused on what she
needed to do to succeed.
“Your mindset is the
number one thing that
can make a difference,”
Devine said. “It can affect
your race based off of
if you’re mentally ready
or not. That was what I
changed as far as the 100
this year. I was much more
focused and able to better
block out any distractions.
This time I was mentally
ready and it showed.”
Devine once again qualified
in the 50 free taking
second (23.71). She was
also part of the Titans’
qualifying third-place 200
free relay and fourth-place
qualifying 400 free relay.

10, in Northbrook Scott Margolin/22nd Century Media
GBS was third (189) overall
as a team.
Alexis Kachkin qualified
in the 50 taking third
and Kate Solem made the
state cut in the 500 finishing
third.
The sectional was the
final meet as GBN’s head
coach for Robin Walker.
Walker has been a swimming
coach for 33 years,
27 of them with the Spartans.
During his tenure at
GBN, he had 12 swimmers
finish top 10 at state,
212 state qualifiers, 132 of
those going on to become
All-State athletes, 20 All-
Americans with a total of
58 All-American swims.
And yet there is more to
what Walker meant to the
program than those accomplishments.
Although GBN was unable
to qualify anyone for
state, you couldn’t tell that
once the sectional was
over. No one on the team
wanted to leave and they
couldn’t stop taking pictures
with him.
“The best part of coaching
hasn’t been these
accomplishments. It’s
been watching these kids
throughout the years
evolve and grow into better
swimmers and good
people,” Walker said.
“Today’s meet was about
transformation and I think
you’ve seen that with
everyone who’s come
through this program.
They’ve grown physically,
mentally and emotionally.
I can’t be grateful enough
about my good fortune
during my time here. We
may not have qualified
anyone today but you look
over there and tell me it
doesn’t look like we had
a great meet. These girls
don’t want it to be over.
The metric I think I’ve
set is about more than just
state qualifications.”
Kamila Nowak just
barely missed qualifying
in the breast finishing
with a time of 1:06.55
which missed by .01 seconds.
The Spartans were
sixth (104).
After graduating two of
its top swimmers in Shannon
Kearney and Margaret
Guanci, Loyola Academy
was a younger team
this year. Ultimately the
Ramblers were unable to
qualify anyone to the state
meet. But coach Mike
Hengelmann saw his team
make a lot of progress during
the sectional.
“Maddy Reed had nice
swims in the fly and back
and leading off our 400 relay,”
Hegelmann said. “A
couple of seniors did well
including Catherine Holecek.
We had a lot of time
drops and personal bests
today. It was a younger
team and different than
what we’ve had recently
but I was happy with what
I saw from them.”
Stephanie Udzielak
swam 59.95 in the back
with the state cut 58.61.
Loyola was seventh (73.5).
