Winnetka’s Veterans Day observance
features former Governor Pat Quinn
Ben Thompson, Freelance Reporter
Dozens of community members and
public officials filled the Winnetka Community
House on Monday, Nov. 12, for a
reflective Veterans Day observance honoring
area service members past and present.
The commemoration, also attended by
several local VFW members and former
Gov. Pat Quinn, was held under the colors
of the Winnetka Scouts Honor Guard Flag
Unit, including members of Boy Scout
Troops 18 and 20. Presenters and onlookers
were also wreathed by banners of the
“Portrait of a Soldier” project, a traveling
installation depicting the nearly 300
Illinois service members who have been
killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since the
Sept. 11 attacks.
After a parade of young scouts ushered
in the colors and led the Pledge of Allegiance,
New Trier High School alumnae
Stephany and Lexy Prodromos performed
“The Star-Spangled Banner” and the Rev.
Jeffrey D. Braun, of Winnetka Congregational
Church, opened the ceremony with
an invocation recognizing the sacrifices
made by all U.S. veterans.
“Our service personnel would state, both
willingly and sincerely, that it is their honor
to serve,” Braun said. “As citizens of the
very republic that our veterans volunteered
to protect, it is our duty ... to admit that all
military service exacts a price on veterans
and family members alike. Our duty to remember
that the burden, and all too often
the physical or psychological scars which
our veterans bravely bear, can endure long
after their discharge. Our duty to expand
our consciousness and our care beyond the
span of a once-annual day of recognition
and respect.”
Following that message, a presentation
by longtime Boy Scout and World War II
veteran Captain Jack Fox was replaced
by an appreciation for the local hero after
New Trier VFW Commander Captain
Carrie Hoza informed the audience that
Fox could not attend the Monday event
due to a recent injury.
Instead, World War II veteran and area
Boy Scout leader Phil Hoza spoke for his
mentor Fox, who he credited with “a full
life of leadership and giving to others.”
Quinn then delivered an address thanking
the state’s veterans, centered around
the “Portrait of a Soldier” exhibit he has

“Portrait of a Soldier” project during
a Veterans Day observance Nov. 12 at
the Winnetka Community House. Gerri
Fernandez/22nd Century Media
shared throughout the state throughout the
past 14 years. The display was conceived
by Quinn’s former staffer Cameron Schilling,
of Mattoon, Ill., who was inspired to
honor veterans in art after his fellow Mattoon
resident Charles Neeley was killed in
Iraq. Schilling painted Neeley’s portrait
and shared it with the soldier’s family, then
followed that work by crafting visual memorials
to all 291 Illinois service members
killed since 2001.
“The men and women who are depicted
here on these portraits are special Illinoisans,
special Americans. They had an ethic
of service,” Quinn said. “They’re not statistics,
they’re not just names in the paper
for one day, but they should live forever.”
Quoting the Bible, Quinn called the
veterans “righteous oaks” and encouraged
attendees to take time to consider the portraits
surrounding them and to continue to
appreciate the contributions of their local
service members throughout the year.
“There are not words in the English
language, or any language, to relieve the
pain of losing many, many of these service
members who were very young,” he
said. “There’s no way to assuage the grief.
... But I think it is important that we understand
that these are real heroes.”
After Quinn’s remarks, Braun gave a
benediction and all those gathered joined
in singing “America the Beautiful,” led
again by the Prodromos siblings. The program
concluded after moving outdoors
to the community house courtyard where
members of the New Trier VFW Post
4831, flanked by the scout honor guard,
fired a rifle salute into the night sky. Bugler
Marc Olen performed a rendition of
“Taps” to close out the evening program.

University of the British Columbia, enjoys mangoes
during a June trip to Panama. Photo submitted
Sophie Chevalier wanted
to make a difference.
The Wilmette resident
was only a high school
junior at the time in 2015.
Chevalier knew there was
more than what she found
in suburbia. She left family
and friends and the
conveniences of living on
the North Shore and traveled
to Panama in Central
America for a summer
service project. Chevalier
found the experience so
fulfilling it became the first
of three such trips to Latin
America.
“I searched various opportunities
and found a
genuine program, Amigos
de las Americas, a nongovernmental
organization
that has been working at
empowering youth since
1965,” Chevalier said.
All she had to do was
convince her parents.
“After attending several
informational meetings
with our daughter about
Amigos de las Americas,
we felt confident about
the program and gave our
permission for Sophie to
spend six weeks in a remote
community in Latin
America,” said Tanja Chevalier,
Sophie’s mother.
The organization is
considered a mini-Peace
Corps for young people
whose vision is a world
where each young person
becomes a lifelong catalyst
for social change according
to Tanja Chevalier.
“There were five months
of training beforehand and
fund-raising to finance
community projects,” Sophie
Chevalier said. “I
sold pizza coupons, flowers,
had a recycle electronics
drive and sent letters to
family and friends asking
for donations.”
Following her junior
year at New Trier, Chevalier
traveled to a small
community in the Azuero
Peninsula of Panama. She
left her cell phone home.
“I lived with my host
grandmother (abuela) in
a modest house where
the only concrete was the
kitchen floor,” she said.
“There was a wood cook
stove. The shower was a
hose and the outhouse was
in the back of the house.
Some of the neighbors had
a refrigerator they shared
with each other.”
Chevalier oversaw activities
with the local
children and worked with
her Amigos partner from
Seattle on community initiatives
— renovating the
park and community center.
The experience was so
fulfilling that Chevalier
went to Nicaragua following
her New Trier graduation
in 2016.
“I was not sure what I
wanted to do in life or major
in college so I took a
gap year and deferred my
freshman year,” she said.
“I went to Nicaragua with
Amigos as a gap year participant
and interned with
their national environmental
organization, Fundacion
Amerigos Del Rio
San Juan-Fundar. I lived
with another incredible
host family and traveled to
many parts of Nicaragua.”
Then last June, Chevalier
returned to Amigos for
10 weeks.
“This time I was a supervisor
leading the summer
program I originally
participated in,” she said.
“At the last minute, our
64-participant group was
redirected from Nicaragua
where social unrest
rendered the country unsafe.
We went to Panama
instead. Amigos’ presence
all over Latin America
made the move almost
seamless for us.”
Chevalier says she made
some of her most mean-

Northfield Architectural Commission
Proposed assisted-living
facility heads to Village Board
Ronnie Wachter
Freelance Reporter
After looking at plans
to convert an office building
into an assisted-living
facility, Northfield’s Architectural
Commission
sent a unanimous positive
recommendation to the
Northfield Village Board.
The recommendation will
arrive with a note about
the commissioners’ disappointment
with the design’s
lighting, though.
The commission took a
look on Monday, Nov. 12,
at plans to renovate the
existing three-story office
building at 1622 Willow
Road into a 44-unit residential
facility for the elderly,
with a focus on memorycare
patients. The proposal,
named The Willow, would
require a special use permit
to accommodate all the
lighting the business would
require for its patients.
Residents of three nearby
houses urged the commission
to send the Village
Board a negative recommendation.
“It’s a beautiful plan for
somewhere, but not here,”
said Charles Orth, who
lives with his wife Kim
several houses west of the
building.
And while the commissioners
sent their OK for
the plan’s facade, landscaping
and site plan,
they expressed great disappointment
with a light
scheme that they thought
was brighter than necessary.
“What I see here doesn’t
seem like it’s been thought
out,” board member John
Issa said. “You’re not going
to sell me on it.”
A proposal to renovate the existing three-story office
building at 1622 Willow Road into a 44-unit residential
facility for the elderly is heading to the Village Board
after a positive recommendation from the Architectural
Commission. Photo Submitted
The conversion would
mean more parking spaces
in a same-sized parking
lot, a trash area completely
enclosed with a garage
door and roof, and the addition
of a “memory garden”
in the back.
The front would see the
addition of a second-story
porch that would extend
above the front door 19
feet out to the parking lot.
The porch’s primary function
would be to serve as
a canopy over the front
entrance during poor
weather, but is too low for
vehicles to drive under.
The parking lot’s northwest
corner would keep its
opening to Linder Avenue,
but would gain a circular
layout to give emergency
vehicles space to turn
around.
The neighbors took issue
with the conversion of
a building that held traditional
business hours into a
24-hour operation that will
produce more trash removal,
deliveries and employees.
The landscape design
would remove some of the
existing trees and plant replacements
in other spaces,
and the neighbors also
worried about losing their
sightlines as they pull out
of Linder Avenue onto
Willow Road.
But the commissioners’
only concern was with the
lights, which Issa declared
too bright and adding
nothing to the building’s
aesthetic.
“These lights are completely
utilitarian,” he said.
The proposal now has
positive recommendations
from both the Architectural
Commission and the
Plan and Zoning Commission,
which examined it on
Nov. 5. It moves now to
the Village Board. During
the Nov. 12 session, Architectural
chairman Jason
Felicione told Orth and the
two other property owners
present that while the
commissions did not have
the authority to address
all their concerns (traffic,
property values and such),
the board members could.
“We hear you, loud and
clear,” Felicione told them.

French School sponsors third Thanksgiving Feather Hunt
Submitted by The French
School
The community gathered
at Hubbard Woods
Park to mark the beginning
of the Thanksgiving
season with the French
School’s third annual Turkey
in the Straw feather
hunt.
Local families enjoyed
apple cider and the sunny
fall weather as young children
played in the fallen
leaves and searched for turkey
feathers in the straw.
At 10 a.m. Nov. 3, the
feather hunt commenced
with the playing of the
American folk song, “Turkey
in the Straw.” Three
different age groups
searched for colorful

ingful relationships there.
“As a result of these
experiences, I discovered
that even at a young age
it is possible to make impactful
contributions to
our world,” she said.
Chevalier’s earliest life
experiences also helped
her enjoy and value what
she learned from the culture
and many people she
met and lived with in Latin
America.
“I returned home with a
more open mind about the
people and what was important
to them,” Chevalier
said. “I learned about
the danger of stereotypes.
They are not necessarily
wrong stories about a different
culture, rather incomplete
ones.”
Chevalier was born in
Paris, France and lived in a
small town outside the city
until she was about five
years old.
“Some of my earliest
memories are of living
there,” she said. “When I
came to the United States
to live, it was culture
shock and not just whether
fork tines should be faced
up or down when setting
the table.”
She listed some differences.
“At mealtime, adults
are served first,” Chevalier
said. “Here it is children
first. Children abroad
seem to be more respectful.
Sports teams are separate
from schools. Many
people outside the U.S.
tend to view Americans
as having a ‘consumptive’
attitude. People must
have more things—more
clothes, more everything.
People stand in long lines
to get the latest iPhone
when they already have a
good or newer model.”
Chevalier and her family
lived in Chicago before
moving to the North
Shore.
She attended Chicago’s
French school when they
first arrived. By third
grade she was living in
Wilmette and went to Central
School.
“It was difficult for me
because I could speak
English but not write it,”
Chevalier said. “I had a
hard time understanding
why my peers used the
word ‘like’ so often in their
speech. My mother helped
me through it all.”
She attended Highcrest,
which she credits helping
her learn Spanish. Wilmette
Junior High School
was where she spent seventh
grade but attended St.
Francis Xavier for eighth.
“I now think these experiences
of the different
schools enabled me to
adapt to new places and
meet people more easily,”
she said. “The culture in

and French School staff
passed out chocolate turkeys
to each participant.
The French School
thanks the community for
their support of Turkey in

who generously donated
supplies, prizes, and
their time in putting on
this free local event. Mark
your calendars for the first

is a different way of life.
School is prioritized. Students
wear uniforms to
show a sense of equality.
People watch out for each
other and not just those
with whom they are living.
Family and friends do not
fall by the wayside.”
Chevalier said she keeps
in touch with those she
met in Panama and Nicaragua.
She plans return visits
once she finishes college
at the University of British
Columbia where she
is studying environmental
sustainability and international
relations.
“These people in Panama
and Nicaragua taught
me what really is important
in life,” she said. “I
learned what I truly value.”

Winnetka Park Board
Beach restoration projects
proposed for Lloyd Park
Ronnie Wachter
Freelance Reporter
With Lake Michigan’s
water level near record
highs and its beach eroding,
the Winnetka Park
District is looking at a
pair of beach restoration
projects for Lloyd Park.
In 2020, the district
could dig a seawall into
the ground along the shore
to slow or stop erosion,
then extend a breakwater
from the south side of the
park out into Lake Michigan.
The projects have
been part of the district’s
master plan since 2015,
but could become the subjects
of open houses and
public comment periods
in 2019.
“There’s wants, and
there’s needs, and right
now, this is a need,” Costa
Kutulas, the superintendent
of parks, told the
board members during
their Nov. 15 meeting.
Kutulas and Jon Shabica,
of Shabica & Associates,
Inc. (a Northfield
coastal consulting firm),
gave the board an update
of the plans for preserving
and restoring the Lloyd

Park beach, which has
been consumed by Lake
Michigan since the water
level hit a record low
during the polar vortex of
January 2013.
Kutulas said high tide
reached up to the park’s
boathouse this summer;
indeed, the current
GoogleMaps satellite
photo for Lloyd Park
shows a wave splashing
against the boathouse’s
base. He and Shabica said
this unusual fluctuation in
lake levels has hastened
erosion.
The solution, they believe,
could begin with
the construction of a steel
sheetpile seawall, which
a crew would dig into
the ground in front of the
beach house and send 300
feet south, in hopes that
it will protect the bluff.
How beach-goers would
climb or walk down from
or through this wall to the
water has not been determined.
At the southern edge
of this seawall could be
the base of a new breakwater
— a long, thin line
of quarry stone meant to
recapture lost sand. This
breakwater would jut east
into the lake, then gently
curve north; though
it would reach only 180
feet into the lake, it would
stretch 270 feet in total
length. It would dwarf
the current concreteand-stone
breakwater
that stick only a few feet
straight out, and Shabica
told the board that the existing
construct would be
broken up and re-used as
part of its replacement.
None of these ideas
have been finalized yet
— Shabica recommended
that the board send public
notices out in March and
begin to address public
comments in April. He
told the commissioners to
expect pushback.
“It’s a pretty obvious
need for the south beach,”
he said. “But right now,
with Lloyd, it’s not there.”
Kutulas said the projects
will also require approvals
from the Illinois
Department of Natural
Resources, the Army
Corps of Engineers and
the Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District.

Jauch set to leave Avoca D37
Staff Report
Dr. Kevin
Jauch will be
leaving his
position as
superintendent
at Avoca
School
District 37 Jauch
superintendent
after he was named
the executive director of
the North Cook Intermediate
Service Center for
North Cook County Nov.
8. D37 includes Winnetka,
Northfield, Wilmette and
Glenview.
At the center, he replaces
Dr. Bruce Brown, who will
be retiring at the end of the
2018-2019 school year.
Jauch has served on the
NCISC Governing Board
for five years and is very familiar
with their operations
and the services they offer.
The North Cook region
includes 39 public school
districts and over 145,000
students enrolled in the
200-plus public school
buildings in the area, including
Avoca.
“I am excited for the
opportunity to use my experience
and skills in this
unique educational capacity,
while also being able
to continue to support the
Avoca School District,”
Jauch said.
The Avoca Board of
Education will begin the
process of hiring a search
firm to replace Jauch immediately.
“The Board of Education
wishes Dr. Jauch well in his
new endeavor, and thanks
him for his 13 years of dedicated
service to the Avoca
District,” Avoca Board of
Education President Rick
Zelinsky said. ”We look
forward to continuing our
professional relationship
with Dr. Jauch, though in
a different capacity in the
future.”
The NCISC serves as the
Regional Office of Education
for the public school
districts of the North Cook
County region, and as such
plays an important role as
the intermediary and advocate
in Springfield for the
public schools of the region.
Supports for local educators
are provided in the
areas of professional development,
licensure, facility
safety and improvement,
bus driver training, truancy,
homelessness, and alternative
schools. The ISC also
conducts the inspections of
the non-public schools of
the region.
Jauch will begin this new
position on July 1, 2019.

Educational Foundation
The New

Foundation
is pleased
to announce
that its

has
Mayer
appointed Liz Mayer ’02,
the foundation’s next executive
director.
Mayer, who previously
served as director of annual
giving at Rosalind
Franklin University of
Medicine and Science in
North Chicago, succeeds
Marianne Breen, who resigned
to pursue other opportunities.
“We want to thank
Marianne for her service
over the last 11 years. During
her tenure, NTEF had
grown significantly to fund
exceptional educational
opportunities that extend
beyond the standard classroom
experience,” board
chairman David Buyer
‘85 said. “Today, we are
thrilled to welcome Liz as
the new executive director
and look forward to her
leadership. Her depth of
experience in planned giving
and developing major
gifts will take the foundation
to the next level.”
Mayer, a New Trier
alumna, Class of 2002,
is a certified fund raising
executive. She holds
a bachelor of arts degree
from Lake Forest College
and a Certificate in Fundraising
Management from
style
Entertain in
The Lilly Family School
of Philanthropy.
“Coming back to New
Trier at this point in time
is like coming home after
your parents finished
a major remodel,” Mayer
said. “It feels familiar, but
clearly it has had exceptional
growth in the years
I’ve been away.
“New Trier helped me to
grow into who I am today.
The school does a great
job of fostering that exploration
and inquisitiveness
in each and every student.”
According to Mayer,
drawing inspiration from
her experience and working
with the teachers will
help her carry out her new
role.

‘Peter Pan’ more than
just entertainment
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
It’s no secret that the
Children’s Theater of
Winnetka has a reputation
for keeping audiences
entertained with highquality
youth productions,
starring New Trier Township
kids in grades 4-8.
But, what the audience
may not be able to see, are
the behind-the-scenes life
lessons that young actors
gain as part of the experience.
During CTW’s recent
production of “Peter
Pan,” held at the Winnetka
Community House
in mid- November, co
-directors Toby Nicholson
and Cathy Hirschmann,
weaved one lesson after
another into their instruction,
teaching kids and
sometimes themselves,
that a production is just
as much about the process,
as it is about opening
night.
Community interest
in the CTW program has
grown over the years.
This past summer alone,
over 100 children auditioned
and 86 received a
role. To accommodate the
masses, the directors divided
the kids among two
cast, giving more kids the
opportunity to perform,
while challenging the directors
to think of creative
ways to maximize stage
opportunity for all.
“We don’t want to see
kids sitting around at any
point; all of these kids are
so talented and deserve
that time on stage, where
they can learn and grow.”
Nicholson said.
For example, one of the
most popular “Peter Pan”
scenes involves him dancing
with his shadow, but
Hirschmann created the
part for five shadows, allowing
more children the
opportunity to play the
same role. In other scenes,
multiple fairies or pirates
became part of the storyline,
giving equal stagetime
opportunity for all.
When it came to choreography,
Hirschmann
and Nicholson didn’t shy
away from setting their
standards high, thoughtfully
selecting Broadway-level
choreography,
giving young actors the
satisfaction that comes
with mastering some difficult
footwork.
“Time and time again,
we hear from the kids,
‘the choreography is so

difficult’ followed by
‘we love it; I can’t believe
we just learned the
actual Broadway choreography’”,
Hirschmann
shared. “There is no doubt
that it’s difficult, but the
kids love the challenge.
Plus, they are sponges at
this age and just soak up
the information, getting
lost in their moves. The
biggest challenge for us
as directors is knowing
the balance between challenging
and discouraging.
Each child comes in with
different levels of experience,
so we try to create
routines that help everyone
shine and feel confident
about their abilities.”
In addition, directors
were posed the unique
challenge of talking about
sensitive topics, particularly
as it related to the
“Indian Dance,” which
to some, is a racially
charged.
“We had both kids and
parents express their concern
over us deciding to
keep this part of the performance,”
Hirschmann
said. “But, our belief is
that if art should not be
censored. Instead, we
chose to use this topic as
a way to discuss historical
events. These productions
often present valuable
historical lessons;
ones that we can discuss,
rather than just avoiding
them altogether. In fact,
we spend a lot of time,
discussing the characters
the children portray. We
ask them to reflect on their
role and ask, ‘what do you
think your character is
feeling, thinking, experiencing.’
This gives them
the unique opportunity to
see things from a different
perspective.”
Both Hirschmann and
Nicholson agree that being
authentic and selfaware
as directors is also a
critical part to the overall
success of a show.
“I’m type A and often
expect perfection, but I
have to remind myself that
these are just kids and that
as long as they are having
a good time and feel
good about themselves,
then I’ve served my goal.”
Hirschmann said.
For Nicholson, watching
young performers
evolve over the years, is
the priceless reward he
gets from being part of
CTW.
“Watching the progression
and seeing a child
gain skills and confidence
over the years is
what really motivates me.
Sometimes you meet a
child who is shy or feels
he or she doesn’t belong
at school. The, suddenly
they get on stage and all
that changes; they find
themselves on the stage
and that’s something I’m
honored to be a part of.”
As “Peter Pan” wraps,
CTW is excited to announce
that auditions for
“The Wizard of Oz” is
on the horizon. For more

DINING OUT
Glencoe’s Little Red Hen still soaring after 40 years
winnetkacurrent.com the winnetka current | November 21, 2018 | 23
Family-friendly
restaurant adding
fresh, ‘clean’
options
Jason Addy
Contributing Editor
When Jim Ryba bought
into the Little Red Hen
franchise in February
1978, the idea of his restaurant
in Glencoe outliving
the brand likely never
crossed his mind.
Forty years later, the Little
Red Hen is still pumping
out classic fried chicken,
ribs, pizza and more at
its original location at 653
Vernon Ave. in the village.
Over those four decades,
the menu stayed true to its
roots. But since Jim Ryba’s
daughter Lisa took over
the business a few years
back, she’s been adding
fresh and clean new options
— like grilled corn,
sweet potato fries and gluten-free
buns — to the list
of Little Red Hen go-tos.
Growing up in the quaint
downtown Glencoe restaurant
since she was 3 years
old, Ryba said she always
knew she wanted to go to
culinary school and open
up her own place one day.
“Dad wanted to keep us
out of trouble, so he always
had us working when
we were young, keeping
an eye on us,” Ryba said
of the childhood of her and
her siblings in the restaurant.
After graduating from
Kendall College in Chicago
with a degree in culinary
arts, Ryba was well
on her way to realizing
that dream, but instead she
came back to the place she
already knew so well.
“I thought about maybe
opening my own place and
everyone was like, ‘You’re
Barbecue baby back ribs ($21 for full slab) are another
speciality.
crazy. It’s a tough business.
You already have
(Little Red Hen),’” Ryba
said. “So I decided to stay
here and help out.”
A group of 22nd Century
Media editors stopped
by the Little Red Hen in
Glencoe to find out how the
Rybas’ restaurant has remained
the talk of the town
for the past four decades.
To start off our meal, we
tried two of Lisa Ryba’s
fresh additions to the classic
menu.
The restaurant serves its
summer salad ($9) with
artichoke hearts, tomatoes,
dried cranberries, pistachio
nuts, blue cheese and
carrots, giving the dish a
bit of an autumnal feel as
well.
For those looking for
a little bit of flare in their
salad, the southwest salad
($7.50) delivers with barbecue
chicken breast, grilled
corn, tomatoes, cucumbers
and grated cheese piled on
a generous heap of greens.
Diners can choose any of
eight salad dressings.
Next, we sampled Little
Red Hen’s fried chicken
($10.50 for 4-piece dinner).
The made-to-order
cut of chicken featured
an ultra-crispy breading
worth risking slight burns
for with each bite.
To finish, Ryba served

up some barbecue baby
back ribs ($21 for full
slab). All dinners at Little
Red Hen are served with
French fries or sweet potato
fries, coleslaw and a
dinner roll.
The restaurant’s extensive
menu also features a
number of popular items,
including thin-crust and
deep-dish pizza, Italian
beef sandwiches, cheeseburgers,
wraps, hot dogs,
and more, with most options
coming in under $10.
Ryba and her team are
also seasoned pros at
cranking out large orders,
having participated in the
lunch program at Glencoe
School District 35 for a
number of years.
Little Red Hen’s online
menu allows diners to order
anywhere from 2-50
pieces of chicken ($7.75-
$90), a family-sized baby
rack ribs meal with three
full slabs and all the fixings
($65), and a pound
of shrimp with tartar and
cocktail sauces ($24).
One of the most popular items on the menu at Glencoe’s Little Red Hen is the madeto-order
fried chicken ($10.50 for 4-piece dinner). Photos by Eric DeGrechie/22nd

Grubhub and Postmates.
The restaurant now offers
delivery from 11 a.m.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Bobby Soudan
The New Trier Green
hockey player led the
team in goals (49), assists
(52) and points (101) last
season.
Do you have any
superstitions before,
during or after a
game?
Before a game I always
type my left skate first and
my right skate second. I
always get my hair really
wet and push it back, slick
it back as much as I can.

Third Quarter

Fourth Quarter
They preview a big
game for LA in the title

What’s one thing
people don’t know
about you?
I used to play tennis for
10 years.
What’s one item on
your bucket list?
I want to go skydiving.
What’s one of your
biggest pet peeves?
When people use the
word like a lot in sentences.
What’s the best part
about being a New
Trier athlete?
How well run everything
is and the talent level.
If you play New Trier
sports, you’re bound to
have a talented team that’s
hardworking.
When did you start
playing hockey and
why?
I started playing hockey
when I was 4 or 5. My dad
had played and wanted me
to play.
What’s the best part
about playing hockey?
It’s about how close you
can get with your teammates.
If you could play
another sport, what
would you play and
why?
I would probably play
basketball. I don’t think I’d
be very good but it takes a
lot of skill and athleticism.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
What’s been your
favorite moment at
New Trier?
Making New Trier
Green last season. It had
been a goal of mine since
I was young and it was a
relieving moment.
What’s the hardest
part about playing
hockey?
Your inability to control
how the game goes because
a lot of other sports
you can change the game
at will, but with hockey
it’s too unpredictable of a
game.

Loyola headed back to state after big win
Neil Milbert
Freelance Reporter
Forget about Loyola
Academy’s 32-point loss
at Brother Rice on Sept.
14.
The Ramblers have
given every indication that
they are ready, willing and
able to make amends for
that out-of-character defeat
and they’ll have the
opportunity on Saturday,
Nov. 24, when they clash
with the Crusaders in the
Class 8A state championship
game at Memorial
Stadium in Champaign.
Playing in the friendly
confines of Hoerster Field,
coach John Holecek’s team
put on another compelling
post-season performance
on Saturday, Nov. 17, toppling
defending 8A champion
Lincoln-Way East
24-16 in a thrilling semifinal
showdown that came
down to the final play.
With 4.4 seconds remaining,
Loyola’s Mike
Kadus deprived Matt Judd
of a touchdown when he
knocked the ball out of the
Griffin receiver’s hands
in the near right corner of

the end zone. If Judd had
been able to catch the 15-
yard pass thrown by Jack
Baltz, LWE would have
had a chance to attempt a
two-point conversion that
could have sent the intense
struggle into overtime.
Instead Loyola (10-3)
avenged its 23-14 loss to
the Griffins in last year’s
8A state title game and
ended their winning streak
at 26 games to earn the
right to play for the state
title for the fourth year in
a row and the fifth time in
the last six years.
“They were throwing
to No. 5 (Judd) the whole
game,” Kadus said. “He
was isolated and I turned
to Mike Byrne and said
‘Watch my back shoulder.’
Mike played over the top
coverage and I was underneath,
forcing him to the
sideline. It was all or nothing.
I went at him on an
angle and got my arm in
there (to prevent Judd from
holding onto the football).”
This was the second
week in a row that 19thseeded
Loyola got even
with a high and mighty
opponent. The preceding

week in the quarterfinals,
they were decisive 17-0
winners over Maine South,
who that got the best of it
in the 2016 title game.
On paper, the Griffins
were an awesome adversary.
They went into the
semifinal averaging 42.9
points-per-game, while
holding opponents to an average
of 5.3. They had seven
shutouts and scored 50 or
more points four times.
But in the semifinal it
was the underdog Loyola
who was the aggressors on
both sides of the ball. They
forced four turnovers —
two fumbles and two interceptions.

Loyola’s Michael Byrne (14) goes up for the
interception against Lincoln-Way East Saturday, Nov.
17, in Wilmette. Scott Margolin/22nd Century Media
had five receptions for 76
yards and two TDs.
Loyola opened the scoring
late in the first quarter
when Jack Burke seized a
fumble on a botched handoff
by Baltz and sped 17
yards for a touchdown.
“The ball was on the turf
and I just scooped it up and
got to the end zone,” Burke
said.
Early in the second
quarter the Griffins tied
the score on Brady Ford’s
46-yard interception return
and Dominic Dzioban’s
point-after-touchdown.
Loyola answered with
Van Zelst’s 34-yard field
goal but LWE reclaimed
the lead with a 60-yard
touchdown drive that was
climaxed by Devon Williams’
seven-yard run.
This time Dzioban’s
extra-point attempt was
blocked by Burke.
Loyola was forced to
punt on their ensuing possession
but Van Zelst’s punt
glanced off returner Josh
Ohiku and Aidan McHugh
recovered for Loyola at its
own 43. Five plays later it
went back in front when
Fallon hurled a 29-yard
pass to Boos in the right
corner of the end zone and
Van Zelst added the PAT.
With one second left in
the first half, Dzioban’s 21-
yard field goal shaved the
Loyola lead to 17-16.
Dzioban tried to put
LWE back out front on a
46-yard field goal attempt
with 1 minute, 46 seconds
to play in the third quarter
but his kick glanced off the
left post.
Loyola immediately capitalized
by driving 77 yards
in eight plays for a touchdown.
The TD came via
a 21-yard Fallon-to-Boos
pass with 9:27 on the clock.
Van Zelst again delivered
the PAT, making it an eightpoint
game and that’s the
way it stayed.

Freshmen help lead NT at state meet
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
For years, New Trier has
been able to mix upperclassmen
with underclassmen
en route to a successful
state team.
The 2018 version was
different, though. It was
predominantly made up of
freshmen, with five total
first-year high school swimmers
as members of the
state team. Those five, combined
with teammates who
have made the state meet
in previous years, were the
key part in leading the Trevians
to a third-place finish
at the state meet Saturday,
Nov. 17, in Evanston.
“This is such a learning
experience for us,” New
Trier coach Mac Guy said.
One of those freshmen,
Kaelyn Gridley, made
