Residents pay tribute at Glencoe 

Historical Society on Veterans Day 

Hilary Anderson 

Freelance Reporter 

It was the Great War, 

World War I. Glencoe 

residents were part of this 

war to end all wars. 

About 10 percent of 

the suburb’s population 

answered the call to volunteer 

or enlist when the 

United States entered the 

war. Five residents gave 

their lives for it. 

The rest of Glencoe’s 

population united and became 

involved in projects 

to help the war project at 

home. 

The Glencoe Historical 

Society held a reception at 

its Eklund History Center 

and Garden Nov. 11 commemorating 

the centennial 

anniversary of the Armistice 

on Nov. 11, 1918, that 

marked the end of World 

War I. 

“Lest we forget,” said 

Ed Goodale, president of 

the Glencoe Historical society, 

a nonprofit, all-volunteer 

organization. “We 

wanted the community to 

know what an important 

part many of their Glencoe 

descendants and former 

residents played in helping 

the war effort.” 

Members of the GHS 

spent about 15 months researching 

historical photos, 

documents, artifacts 

and information about 

Glencoe residents who 

participated in the war. 

The exhibit will close 

shortly and be replaced by 

one honoring Glencoe’s 

150th anniversary in 2019. 

“The research done by 

GHS members was massive,” 

said Ellen Shubart, 

GHS member. “We wanted 

up-to-date material about 

Glencoe’s contributions 

made to the war effort, not 

just generalizations.”

“The Role of Honor 

contains stories of specific 

Glencoe individuals who 

served abroad or worked 

on the home front,” said Ellen 

Paseltiner, a GHS member 

and one of many volunteers 

spent countless hours 

researching information. 

Their efforts were 

amazingly successful. 

“The information we located 

was notable because 

it was from original sources 

like letters and memoirs,” 

said Barbara Olinger, GHS 

member. “Reading details 

of these first-hand accounts 

was compelling.” 

The group even made genealogical 

connections. 

“We were fortunate to 

locate families of a few 

soldiers,” Peggy Hamil 

said. “Some of them had 

items that originally belonged 

to the soldier which 

they donated to the GHS. 

We located one family in 

New Mexico, related to 

Abel Davis, who gave 

us boxes of information 

belonging to him.” 

As a result, Abel Davis’ 

relatives came in for a 

small family reunion at the 

GHS last August. 

The hands-on woodworking 

done by John 

Carothers along with help 

from Ed Olinger and Peter 

VanVechten was special. 

There was the Sopwith 

Camel [airplane] along the 

Red Cross ambulance and 

iconic train depot. Carothers 

found the drawings of 

the original airplane and 

downsized it to fit in the 

museum. 

“Sitting in this biplane 

reminds me of one I saw in 

the Smithsonian,” said Neil 

Weiner, who was visiting 

the exhibit for the first time. 

Glencoe’s Karen Ettelson, 

vice president of GHS, 

receives credit from her covolunteers 

for organizing 

and overseeing the creation 

of the World War I exhibit. 

“We are sorry this exhibit 

will come down soon,” Ettelson 

said. “It increased 

our knowledge about 

World War I, the Glencoe 

residents who were part of 

it and their stories. Creating 

it took the time and efforts 

of many volunteers.”

Downtown Glencoe gets 

jolt with Hometown Coffee 

Megan Bernard, Editor

Winter/Spring 

Programs &Classes 

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! 

winnetkacommunityhouse.org 

(847) 446-0537 

Glencoe’s new coffeehouse 

has become a second 

home for its owners 

— but, after all, that’s the 

whole point. 

Working open to close 

every day at Hometown 

Coffee and Juice, Glencoe 

couple Lou and Julie 

Rubin have invested their 

money, sweat and tears 

into the new business and 

want the downtown location 

to feel like “you’re sitting 

in your living room,” 

Julie said. 

“We wanted a place 

where people could go 

and feel like it is theirs,” 

she added. “It was really 

important to us.” 

Hometown opened its 

doors in late October at 

700 Vernon Ave., showcasing 

a completely revamped 

space formerly occupied 

by Glencoe Roast for 

nine years. 

Throughout past years, 

Lou approached Glencoe 

Roast’s owner Yolanda 

Kowalski because he had 

“a desire to do something” 

with the space, he said. 

Lou frequented the shop 

often since he worked in 

the mortgage business out 

of the same building 

“From the moment [we 

moved here], we thought 

there could be something 

more to Glencoe than there 

already is,” said Lou, who 

has lived in town with his 

wife and kids for 19 years. 

“There should be food; 

there should be entertainment; 

there should be nice 

places to be.” 

When Kowalski was 

ready to retire in mid- 

June, she sold the corner 

storefront to the Rubins. 

Hometown Coffee’s space, which was occupied by 

Glencoe Roast for nine years, has been reimagined, 

thanks to owners Lou and Julie Rubin. Photo Submitted 

About two and a half 

months later, the Rubins 

reopened as Hometown 

Coffee on Oct. 22, which 

also happened to be their 

24th wedding anniversary. 

The space has been 

transformed into an open 

and bright coffeehouse 

with a variety of seating 

and large windows that 

open to the sidewalk. Historical 

photos of Glencoe 

(chosen by the Rubins at 

the Historical Society) also 

hang on a back wall. 

“The redesign was important,” 

said Lou, who 

worked with Sarah Dippold 

Design. “We wanted 

to be an authentic coffee 

house. … We wanted it 

to be transformational so 

when you walk in you go, 

‘Wow, this is great; this is 

different; this is where I 

want to be.’” 

“A lot of people say 

it feels like a California 

space, which makes 

me happy,” Julie added. 

“It feels like a city 

atmosphere. 

“It’s all the things we 

were really looking for.” 

A large glass bakery display 

case is one of the first 

items customers see when 

they walk in, and the welcoming 

baristas, many of 

whom worked at Glencoe 

Roast, will talk customers 

through the menu. 

The menu itself consists 

of coffee, espresso, coldpressed 

juices, organic 

loose leaf tea, smoothies, 

smoothie bowls, bagel

Glencoe Village Board 

Village manager announces 

year-end employee awards 

Todd Marver 


With the end of the calendar 

year rapidly approaching, 

Village Manager Phil 

Kiraly announced three 

Village employee awards 

at the Glencoe Village 

Board’s Thursday, Nov. 15 

meeting. 

Assistant to the Finance 

Director Denise Joseph, 

who has been with the 

Village since 2010, was 

named the 2018 employee 

of the year. 

“By every measure has 

proven to be a standout employee,” 

Kiraly said of Joseph. 

“Denise is no doubt a 

top performer and I’m very 

grateful for the work she 

does on a daily basis for the 

Village.” 

Kiraly added that Joseph 

has received praise from 

her co-workers. 

The outstanding service 

award went to water plant 

mechanic Curtis Jackson, 

who is a 33-year employee 

with the Village. The above 

and beyond award was 

given to assistant to the village 

manager Megan Meyer, 

who has been with the 

Village for two years. 

“Both were recognized 

by co-workers and supervisors 

for their excellent 

work over the past year,” 

Kiraly said. “It’s always a 

nice opportunity for us to 

be able to talk about staff 

and the great work that they 

are doing and it’s especially 

nice when our team can be 

recognized by their colleagues 

and those that they 

work with every day.” 

Kiraly also announced 

an employee retirement. 

“On Oct. 31, the Village 

said farewell to Juan 

ROUND IT UP 

A brief recap of Village 

Board action Nov. 15 

• Preliminary and 

final subdivision plat 

approval was granted 

for the 520 Drexel 

consolidation (520 and

• A resolution ratifying 

Starcom21 talk group 

access agreements 

between the Village 

of Glencoe and the 

Northwest Central 

Dispatch System, 

the Metra Police 

Department and the 

Illinois State Police was 

approved. 

Hernandez, one of our 

certified arborists in the 

public works department’s 

forestry crew,” he said. 

“He retired after 18 years 

of dedicated service to the 

Village and we wish him all 

the best as he enjoys all that 

retirement has to offer.” 

Active transportation 

resolution 

The board approved 

a resolution accepting 

the Glencoe Active 

Transportation Plan. 

Key recommendations 

from the plan include the 

following: proposed improvements 

by major corridor; 

proposed improvements 

to trails, bicycle 

facilities and sidewalks on 

local streets; proposed intersection 

improvements 

on major road and at key 

school and park crossings; 

and strategies to 

implement a communitywide 

campaign focused 

on walking and biking to 

local destinations. 

“We really appreciate 

the support of the Village 

Board, park district and 

school district in helping us 

do a study of transportation 

needs in Glencoe,” said 

Hall Healy, chairman of the 

Village’s sustainability task 

force. “The study has been 

finalized and it’s on your 

consent agenda tonight, so 

thank you very much.” 

Server purchases 

The board also approved 

a resolution authorizing the 

purchase of server hardware 

and associated warranties 

from Mindsight 

Technologies in the amount 

of $50,193 and storage 

hardware and associated 

warranties from Sentinel 

Technologies in the amount 

of $36,145. 

Trustee Greg Turner 

asked if the Village explored 

alternatives to purchasing 

server hardware in 

this instance. 

“I just wanted to ask 

whether there was consideration 

given to, rather 

than buying and maintaining 

our own equipment, to 

leverage in a cloud solution 

or some sort of web-based 

offering,” Turner said. 

Assistant Village Manager 

Sharon Tanner responded 

that the Village 

does consider a cloud solution 

when looking at individual 

purchases for hardware 

and software, but not 

in this particular instance. 

“The reason that we’re 

recommending purchasing 

these physical servers 

is because we have a set 

of existing applications 

in our environment that 

won’t operate on a virtual 

server,” Tanner said.

Glencoe Park Board 

Tax levy estimate, controlled burn 

among approval list for Glencoe Parks 

Ben Thompson 


The Glencoe Park District 

Board of Park Commissioners 

approved this 

year’s tax levy estimate, 

a new district land acquisition 

policy and a longterm 

active transportation 

plan for the Village at its 

Tuesday, Nov. 13 regular 

meeting. 

The board also discussed 

several district 

initiatives for the winter 

season, including details 

of an upcoming controlled 

burn at the Robert Everly 

Wildflower Sanctuary. 

Levy to increase 4 percent 

An ordinance covering 

the district’s tax levy 

was the first item to pass 

with ease, as board members 

unanimously voted 

in favor of the 2018 levy 

to support district operations. 

This year’s levy estimate 

increased by 4.21 

percent from the 2017 

operating levy, for a total 

park district tax levy of 

$4.55 million. 

Outdoor skate 2018 

Following the tax levy 

vote, the commissioners 

went over district plans 

to kick off skating season 

by opening the Watts 

Ice Center outdoor rink 

Friday, Nov. 23. 

Preparations at the rink 

are already underway and, 

weather permitting, Black 

Ice Friday attendees can 

enjoy a free day of skating 

next week before regular 

fees kick in. Interested 

skaters can then purchase 

daily or seasonal skate 

passes at the Watts Center 

throughout the ensuing 

winter months. 

Controlled burn at Everly 

Another community interest 

item on the agenda 

was the long-anticipated 

burn at the Everly wildflower 

sanctuary off Linden 

and Jackson avenues, 

details of which were presented 

by Park District 

Director of Parks/Maintenance 

Chris Leiner. 

While a final date for 

the burn has not yet been 

set, it will take place on 

a future weekend or over 

Thanksgiving break to 

avoid conflict with nearby 

South School. 

Leiner said the sanctuary 

grounds will initially 

look blackened and 

charred after the fire, but 

the process should allow 

the park’s natural seed 

bank to flourish into an array 

of flowers this coming 

spring. 

“We’ll see lots of stuff 

blooming that we haven’t 

seen in a long time,” Leiner 

said. “It will be really 

good for the environment 

in that area.” 

Leiner also noted that 

both the village and residents 

living in the area 

around the sanctuary will 

receive plenty of notice 

on the burn once a final 

date is set. 

The Pizzo Group, contracted 

to manage the 

procedure, has begun preparing 

the park and excavated 

around the burn site 

to safely control the fire. 

Holiday lights 

Later, Park District 

Executive Director Lisa 

Sheppard shared several 

notes from her monthly 

report including information 

on the annual Light 

the Lights holiday event 

Friday, Nov. 23, featured 

as an advance celebration 

of Glencoe’s 150th 

anniversary in 2019. 

Programming will include 

the lighting of a new 

20-foot spruce, activities 

for families and a “sip and 

stroll” featuring beer and 

wine tastings at participating 

stores downtown. 

Along with the revamped 

Light the Lights, 

Sheppard noted that the 

Village is planning an improved 

Independence Day 

celebration next summer. 

Odds and ends 

The final action items 

on the agenda, approval of 

the Glencoe Active Transportation 

Plan and a park 

district land acquisition 

policy, were unanimously 

supported by the board. 

The active transportation 

plan, crafted by 

a group of officials and 

residents, includes goals 

and action items for future 

development on Glencoe’s 

streets, sidewalks, trails 

and intersections. 

The plan is intended to 

serve as a framework to 

improve and connect the 

village transportation grid, 

making it safer and more 

inviting for all. 

The commissioners 

concluded the open session 

by affirming a policy 

directing the district to 

evaluate new land it plans 

to acquire for the presence 

of environmental hazards.

also gets a daily delivery

“We knew we wanted 

to have a product that we 

could offer any time of 

the day,” Lou said. “If you 

are here in the morning 

and get your coffee, you 

can also come back in the 

afternoon to get an apple 

almond toast or a freshcracked 

egg sandwich.” 

With the variety of 

menu options, the Rubins 

have seen repeat customers 

throughout the day. 

“The response from 

the community has been 

overwhelmingly positive,” 

Lou added. “It’s 

validating because when 

you do something like 

this, you have a lot of 

hopes and dreams about 

what it can be. 

“So many people were 

interested in having something 

good here that they 

offered their advice, time 

or their support in any 

way they could. People 

we know or even that we 

don’t know helped. It really 

means a lot.”

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Lake Bluff rejects Lake 

Forest’s proposed fire 

takeover 

Members of the Lake 

Bluff Village Board agreed 

during its meeting Monday, 

Nov. 12, to reject a 

proposal from Lake Forest 

to take over all of its fire 

services Board president 

Kathleen O’Hara said the 

Village received the unsolicited 

report two weeks 

prior. 

With support from the 

board, O’Hara directed 

village administration to 

draft a letter to the City 

of Lake Forest stating its 

decision to reject the proposal 

and to continue with 

the fire services Lake Bluff 

has had since 1897. 

“Though the board and 

administration are always 

looking for economic efficiencies, 

we do not feel 

that this proposed takeover 

of our volunteer fire department 

by Lake Forest is 

in the best interest of our 

citizens and our community,” 

O’Hara said. 

Since October, with 

the demise of the Rockland 

Fire Department, 

O’Hara said 20 Knollwood 

firefighters, EMS 

and paramedics have 

joined the Lake Bluff Fire 

Department. 

This addition puts the 

department at more than 

60 members, with three 

paid, on-premise firefighters 

in the firehouse every 

day, Monday through Friday, 

from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., 

and 24/7 on the weekends, 

O’Hara noted. 

“We are very, very 

proud to have, and happy 

to have, the Knollwood 

firefighters with their expertise,” 

O’Hara said. 

“The firefighters join an

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette D39 board 

members voice opposition 

to armament in schools 

legislation 

The Wilmette Public 

Schools District 39 Board 

of Education moved to 

oppose proposals made 

by fellow state educators 

supporting legislative efforts 

that could allow Illinois 

school districts to arm 

teachers and staff at its 

Monday, Nov. 12 regular 

meeting. 

The Wilmette school 

board’s decision on the armament 

issue came ahead 

of this weekend’s Illinois 

Association of School 

Boards annual conference, 

at which several strategic 

resolutions for the organization 

will be voted on. 

Three comparable resolution 

proposals are on 

the table, and if any are 

approved, would position 

the IASB in favor of 

laws granting individual 

districts the option to develop 

student-safety plans 

that could bring guns into 

schools. 

No school would be 

compelled to enact the new 

policy, but the door would 

be opened for interested 

districts to train and arm 

qualified staff members. 

At a meeting that opened 

with several community 

members’ comments in 

opposition to the concept, 

the Wilmette board directed 

its representative 

at the IASB conference 

to vote against all three 

related resolutions.

State of journalism discussed 

at inaugural Glencoe Forum 

Christine Adams 


The Writers Theatre held 

Nov. 6 the first Glencoe Forum, 

a panel discussion in 

its atrium on “Journalists, 

Journalism, the News and 

the Discourse of Democracy” 

to nearly 100 community 

members on the eve of 

the midterm elections. 

The Rev. David Wood, 

senior minister at Glencoe 

Union Church, came up 

with the idea for the forum 

with his friend and congregant 

Tim Franklin, senior 

associate dean at Northwestern 

University’s Medill 

School of Journalism. 

Franklin, a Glencoe resident, 

moderated the panel 

that included Chicago Tribune 

columnist Dahleen 

Glanton; Tribune editor 

and publisher Bruce Dold; 

and Glencoe resident Dan 

Ponce, anchor for WGN 

Morning News. 

Wood and Franklin decided 

to begin organizing 

the forum when they identified 

a need for a public 

conversation on the state of 

journalism “in light of the 

overall political discourse 

in which press and journalists 

are being identified in a 

negative way,” Wood said.

agreed to the use of its 

space for the night. 

“I applaud Writers Theatre 

and David Wood for 

hosting and organizing,” 

said Franklin, who said the 

forum was “a very important 

and timely discussion.” 

The panelled journalists 

responded to questions 

both from Franklin and, at 

the end, the audience about 

how they perceive their 

jobs in today’s world, how 

their roles have changed 

over the years and how 

journalists should respond 

to “fake news” criticisms. 

All three remarked that 

they have felt in recent 

times that their safety is at 

risk, and while that may 

not be a brand-new feeling 

for seasoned journalists, 

they noted that the current 

climate feels different. 

“We tightened security 

with armed guards, 

and when we get a threat, 

we report it immediately 

to the Chicago Police 

Department,” Dold said. 

Ponce recounted that 

though there has always 

been a danger in reporting 

from active crime scenes, 

“there is now an equal 

fear for safety in dangerous 

neighborhoods and 

in the studio.” 

The lack of trust in journalists 

was another current 

issue the panel touched on. 

Glanton stated that 

“some don’t know the difference 

between news 

pages and editorial pages,” 

causing readers to misguidedly 

criticize her for 

expressing opinions in her 

columns. 

Dold encouraged the 

audience to have trust in 

newspapers. 

“We are not the enemies 

of the people. We’re the 

protectors,” Dold added. 

The audience was largely 

supportive of the panelists, 

listening intently to their 

perspectives and questioning 

what power journalists 

have to defend themselves 

when attacked. 

The night marked the 

first Glencoe Forum, which 

Wood and other event organizers 

hope will become 

an ongoing series of public 

conversations centered on 

topics and concerns that 

can provide a meaningful 

exchange and practice of 

civil discourse. 

“Attendance and reflections 

from the night have 

been encouraging,” Wood 

told The Glencoe Anchor. 

“It went really well, didn’t 

become tense, concerns 

were expressed and the 

panel responded well.”

Glencoe: Yesterday and Today 

GHS salutes and thanks a beloved volunteer 

Glencoe Historical 

Society 

Contributing Columnist 

The Glencoe Historical 

Society was 

established in the 

1930s, but by the 1970s, it 

had become a shadow of 

its former self. 

The GHS had sponsored 

some housewalks — notably 

one in 1969 for the 

Village’s centennial and 

then another couple in 

the 1970s, but aside from 

special events, the society 

was somewhat moribund. 

The 1980s, however, 

brought new life to the 

group and the main 

“architect” behind that revival 

was Ellen Paseltiner, 

who — with her husband, 

Scott, and children Sarah, 

Adam, and a bit later Harris 

— lived on Maple Hill 

Road, in a Homer Sailordesigned 

home. 

Ellen, who grew up in 

the Washington, D.C. area, 

had been an attorney for the 

National Trust for Historic 

Preservation. When the 

family moved to Glencoe, 

she brought her knowledge 

of historic places, her 

eagerness to educate people 

about history and her drive 

to make things happen. The 

Glencoe Historical Society 

has been indebted to her 

ever since. 

Ellen was the society 

member who drew up, 

funded and supervised 

the Village’s first historic 

building survey, with the 

aim of using the results to 

identify Village residences 

that should be landmarked. 

She gathered a group of 

more than a dozen people 

to walk the Village streets, 

record information and 

follow up with research at 

the Cook County Recorder 

of Deeds office, 

the Ryerson and Burnham 

Library at the Art Institute 

of Chicago, and wherever 

architectural information 

could be found. 

Those survey results 

were the basic building 

blocks of a re-energized 

Historical Society. 

As the GHS’s role in 

the Village increased, its 

membership exploded and 

its activities expanded to 

year-round exhibitions and 

programming. 

After the survey’s completion, 

GHS went to the 

Village seeking a historic 

preservation ordinance. 

From that came today’s 

ordinance and the Glencoe 

Historic Preservation Commission 

to implement it. 

The survey information 

also became the basis

Happy Thanksgiving 

from The 

Glencoe Anchor! 

There is a lot to be 

thankful for this year, 

including this day-early 

issue of The Glencoe 

Anchor! Inside, I hope 

you’ve checked out the 

news features about the 

new Hometown Coffee 

and Juice and the Veterans 

Day observation at the 

Glencoe Historical Society. 

Both the features are 

great examples of things 

you should be grateful for 

in your community. 

On a personal note: I 

am thankful for plenty 

of things this year as my 

husband and I have settled 

into a new home and had a 

great year spent with family 

and friends. I am also 

excited to mark another 

year with The Anchor; so, 

thank you for sharing your 

community stories with 

me each and every week! 

I checked in with some 

community leaders and 

business owners to see 

what’s on their list of 

things to be thankful for 

this Thanksgiving. Here’s 

what I heard: 

• “When I sit around the 

Thanksgiving table with 

my family, I hear stories 

about their basketball 

games, the play they are 

in and the hikes they went 

on, etc. These stories

Each day, we benefit from 

community resources 

such as the Glencoe Park 

District, Glencoe Library,

Glencoe, and the Village 

of Glencoe to support 

our mission. There is so 

much to be thankful for in

From Page 14 

of the society’s extensive 

archive collection, which 

grew exponentially when 

GHS moved from two 

file drawers at the library 

to several rooms at Watts 

Park in 1984. 

When, in 2001, GHS 

moved to its present location 

at 375 Park Ave., Ellen 

was chairperson of the 

GHS Research Committee. 

She, Dan Goodwin, 

Barbara Olinger and Beth 

Berry created protocols 

and inventories that the 

Research Center still uses. 

In more than 30 years, 

Ellen has also focused 

her attention on educating 

children about history and 

architecture. 

In 2003, Ellen and GHS 

member Scott Javore created 

a cultural arts project 

that is used today as part 

of the Second Grade “My 

Community” curriculum. 

Children in the Glencoe 

public schools have met 

with Ellen annually since 

that time to talk about the 

Village’s architectural 

history and how it has 

changed. 

Internally, Ellen was 

involved in rewriting the 

GHS bylaws and mission 

statement. Most recently, 

she created a manual for 

dealing with potential disasters. 

In 2002, Ellen, together 

with Ellen Shubart, 

wrote the book, “Images of 

America Glencoe, IL.” It is 

still in print and used both 

as a GHS fundraiser and an 

updated history book. 

A GHS board member 

since the mid-1980s, Ellen 

has helped the Glencoe 

Historical Society come 

into its own. As she 

leaves us, moving back to 

D.C., we wish her all the 

best and reluctantly say 

farewell to a pioneer, an 

advocate, a researcher and 

a dear friend. She will be 

missed.

NTHS graduate learns about 

world, self through service 

Hilary Anderson 


Sophie Chevalier wanted 

to make a difference. 

The New Trier High 

School alumna was only 

a high school junior at the 

time in 2015, but she knew 

there was more than what 

she found in suburbia. 

Chevalier 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 a 

mini Peace Corps for young 

people whose vision is a 

world where each young 

person becomes a lifelong 

catalyst for social change, 

Tanja Chevalier said. 

“There were five months 

of training beforehand and 

fund-raising to finance 

community projects,” Sophie 

Chevalier said. “I sold 

pizza coupons, flowers, had 

NTHS alumna Sophie Chevalier (right), a student at the 

University of the British Columbia, enjoys mangoes 

during a June trip to Panama. Photo submitted 

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 cellphone 

home. 

“I lived with my host 

grandmother 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 meaningful 

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.

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 5 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 Middle 

School, which she credits for 

helping her learn Spanish. Wilmette 

Junior High School was 

where she spent seventh grade 

but she 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 Panama and 

Nicaragua 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.

Dining Out 

Glencoe’s Little Red Hen still soaring after 40 years 

Family-friendly 

restaurant adding 

fresh and ‘clean’ 

options to menu 

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. 

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 

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 four-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). 

Diners around the North 

Shore can now enjoy Ryba’s 

menu from the comfort 

of their own homes or 

easily cater their evening 

get-togethers, with the restaurant 

recently starting to 

use delivery services like 

Grubhub and Postmates. 

The restaurant now offers 

delivery from 11 a.m. 

to 7:30 p.m. every day to 

locations in Glencoe and 

Winnetka, and most places 

in Highland Park, Northbrook 

and Northfield, a 

move that has boosted 

business, Ryba said.

First Quarter 

Michal Dwojak and Michael 

Wojtychiw recap a 

huge Loyola football win 

over Lincoln-Way East in 

the semifinals. 

Second Quarter 

The guys announce the 

all-area football teams for 

both offense and defense. 

Third Quarter 

Wojtychiw recaps the 

girls swimming state meet, 

including a good day for 

New Trier. 

Fourth Quarter 

The Mikes talk about the 

Ramblers heading down 

state for the title game. 

 

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 

tape 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. 

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. 

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 


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 

IHSA 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 left, 

Loyola’s Mike Kadus deprived 

LWE’s Matt Judd 

of a touchdown when he 

knocked the ball out of the 

receiver’s hands in the corner 

of the end zone.

If Judd had caught 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 the football).” 

This was the second 

week in a row that 19thseeded 

Loyola got even 

with a high and mighty opponent.

Top Performers 

1. Jack Burke, DB – INT, blocked extra point, fumble 

return for touchdown 

2. Jack Fallon, QB – 175 yards passing, 2 TDs, 85 yards

3. Loyola defense – held offense to three FG 

The preceding week, 

they were decisive 17-0 

winners over Maine South, 

who got the best of Loyola 

in the 2016 title game. 

On paper, LWE was an 

awesome adversary. They 

went into the semifinal 

averaging 42.9 points-pergame, 

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. Jack Fallon 

completed 16-of-24 passes 

for 175 yards and ran 18 

times for 85 yards. Rory

Loyola’s Michael Byrne (14) goes up for the 

interception against Lincoln-Way East Saturday, Nov. 

17, in Wilmette. Scott Margolin/22nd Century Media 

Boos 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’ 

7-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 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 eight-point game.

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 quite the debut. 

Gridley, the latest in a line of standout 

swimmers at the school, won 

the 100-yard breaststroke with a 

finals time of 1:02.68, down from 

her prelims mark of 1:03.35.

I got in the water that all went 

away,” Gridley said. 

“It was really intimidating because 

I feel like I didn’t think this 

would happen.” 

New Trier was one of only two 

schools to qualify two divers into 

the finals. Katie Lipsey, last year’s 

state runner-up finished with a 

third-place score of 415.5. Erin 

McNally was making her state finals 

debut and finished in eighth 

place.
