Ex-North Shore teacher pleads not guilty to 64 child porn, sexual assault charges 

Jason Addy, Editor 

A former teacher at 

schools around the North 

Shore pleaded not guilty 

Monday, Dec. 3, to more 

than five dozen felony 

counts of child pornography 

and sexual assault 

charges. 

Mathew 

Laird, 33, 

of the 3900 

block of 

Triumvera 

Drive in 

Glenview, 

was arraigned 

on 

Laird 

64 felony charges during a 

short hearing Monday at the 

Cook County Second District 

Courthouse in Skokie. 

After the charges were 

read, Ralph Meczyk, 

Laird’s attorney, told Judge 

Lauren Edidin his client 

“pleads not guilty to all 

charges.” 

Laird was arrested Oct. 

23 at his home and charged 

with five felonies, including 

criminal sexual assault and 

possession and distribution 

of child pornography. 

Laird was charged with 

sexual assault after a young 

woman reported to authorities 

that Laird assaulted her 

in late 2012 or early 2013 

following a night of studying 

for college exams. 

Prosecutors said the 

woman told police she fell 

asleep and awoke to Laird 

groping and raping her. He 

continued to assault her 

after she woke up and told 

him to stop, prosecutors 

said. 

During a search of 

Laird’s home in September, 

Glenview police discovered 

Laird videotaped 

a portion of the alleged

natural regenerative 

power of the 

human body

&FDA Regulated 

assault and uploaded it to 

an adult-pornography website 

without the woman’s 

consent. 

Police also found “several 

hundred” pornographic 

images and videos of former 

high school students. 

Police also discovered pornographic 

materials depicting 

adults engaging in sexual 

activity with children as 

young as 3 years old, prosecutors 

have said. 

At the end of October, 

Assistant State’s Attorney 

Andreana Turano told the 

court Laird was facing additional 

charges after more 

victims came forward to 

authorities to report they 

were shown in the materials 

found during the September 

search of Laird’s home.

New case, new charges 

Since that Oct. 30 hearing, 

prosecutors have filed 

almost 60 new charges 

against Laird, according to 

court documents. 

Prosecutors have charged 

the former Loyola Academy 

and North Shore 

Special Education District 

educator with one count of 

aggravated criminal assault, 

a Class X felony; one count 

of criminal sexual assault 

- nonconsensual, a Class 1 

felony; two counts of aggravated 

criminal sexual 

abuse, a Class 2 felony; two 

counts of criminal sexual 

abuse - nonconsensual and 

one count of nonconsensual 

dissemination of private 

sexual images, both Class 4 

felonies. 

Laird’s charges also include 

55 counts related to 

child pornography: 

• Dissemination of child 

pornography: victim under 

13 - Class X felony - four 

counts 

• Dissemination of child 

pornography - Class 1 

felony - 10 counts 

• Possession of child pornography 

- Class 2 felony - 

10 counts 

• Possession of child pornography: 

victim under 13 

- Class 2 felony - 19 counts 

• Possession of child pornography 

(videos) - Class 3 

felony - 12 counts 

Laird also pleaded not 

guilty Monday to two Class 

1 felony counts of criminal 

sexual assault - victim 

between 13 and 17. 

No bail 

After Laird’s arrest in 

October, prosecutors filed 

five felony charges against 

Laird in two separate cases 

— one for the sexual assault 

charges and another for the 

child pornography charges. 

Laird’s next hearing is 

scheduled for Dec. 21.

Glenview Village Board 

Trustees to reconsider minimum wage, sick leave ordinances Jan. 3 

Chris Pullam 

Freelance Reporter 

The Glenview Village 

Board opted out of Cook 

County’s new minimum 

wage and sick leave ordinances 

last year, but during 

the Nov. 6 general election, 

village residents voted 

overwhelmingly in favor of 

changing course. 

According to Cook 

County election results, 

approximately 76 percent 

of voters in precincts that 

include at least a small 

section of Glenview registered 

their support for a 

$13 hourly wage starting 

by July 2020, while 82 percent 

backed a proposal to 

provide employees in the 

village with paid sick time 

benefits. 

The questions on the November 

ballot read: 

- Shall the minimum 

wage in your municipality 

match the $13 per hour 

Cook County minimum 

wage law for adults over 

the age of 18 by July 1, 

2020, and be indexed to the 

consumer price index after 

that? 

- Shall your municipality 

match the Cook County 

earned sick time law, 

which allows for workers 

to earn up to 40 hours 

(5 days) of sick time a 

year to take care of their 

own health or a family 

member’s health? 

As a whole, approximately 

84 and 89 percent 

of Cook County voters, 

respectively, supported 

opting into the 

ordinances. 

The questions were 

posed to voters in every municipality 

in Cook County, 

regardless of whether their 

elected officials opted into 

the ordinance, but local 

governing bodies were not 

obligated to opt in or out 

based on their constituents’ 

votes. 

For towns like Evanston 

and Skokie that did go 

along with the county last 

year, as of July 2018, the 

minimum wage increased 

to $10 an hour and will increase 

by $1 each year until 

it reaches $13 hourly in 

2020. 

In municipalities that 

opted into the sick leave 

ordinance, any employee 

who works at least 80 

hours within any 120-day 

period earns one hour of 

paid sick leave for every 

40 hours worked, up 

to a maximum sick leave 

accrual of 40 hours 

per year. 

After showing support for 

the ordinances at the polls, 

several Glenview residents 

and organizations doubled 

down during the Glenview 

Village Board’s meeting 

on Dec. 4. 

“I’m glad we have another 

opportunity to consider 

these life-changing ordinances,” 

said Kelly Golding, 

of Glenview. “True 

leadership in government 

calls for caring for all citizens, 

including its most 

vulnerable. That caring 

includes ensuring that a 

full-time worker can earn 

a livable wage and have 

the ability to heal at home 

when sick.” 

“It’s easy to criticize, or 

even dismiss as irrelevant, 

the results of an advisory 

referendum,” said resident 

Ann Yoshida, co-president 

of the League of Women 

Voters Glenview-Glencoe. 

“Critics often say that voters 

don’t have a deep understanding 

of a complex 

issue, but at the heart of this 

issue is a question that all 

voters can relate to: ‘Should 

we ensure that working 

adults in this community 

are paid a decent-enough 

wage that they can at least 

attempt to support themselves 

and their families?’” 

But for every resident 

who voiced support for 

the ordinances at the meeting, 

there was a Glenview 

business owner or business 

interest warning of the unintended 

consequences of 

increasing the minimum 

wage and guaranteeing sick 

leave. 

Rocky Sapienza, with 

Glenview’s LLC Hallcrest, 

argued the skills 

his workers learn as they 

raise through the ranks allow 

them to eventually 

earn higher wages that 

are appropriate for their 

ever-growing experience. 

“We have 50 employees, 

roughly, many of which 

have been with our company 

10 years-plus, 30 

years-plus,” he said. “In 

fact, we have extraordinary 

numbers over 30. We’ve 

been able to keep these 

people happy … but if this 

policy was to go through 

… it would basically 

turn our entire company 

upside down. … We’d 

actually have to potentially 

look at moving to a 

friendlier place.” 

According to Mary 

Venezia, owner of Johnny’s 

Kitchen & Tap, her 

restaurant already pays 

workers above minimum 

wage in order to 

attract employees in the 

competitive food industry. 

But she worries that increasing 

the wage for all 

new employees would encourage 

longtime workers, 

who already make more 

than $13 per hour, to ask 

for raises, as well, since 

they put in the time to earn 

that higher wage. 

Residents of Wilmette 

and Northbrook, which 

opted out of the ordinances 

last year along with 105 

other home-rule municipalities, 

also voted overwhelmingly 

in support of 

the ordinances during the 

General Election. Since 

then, both village boards 

have revisited the issue. 

Wilmette village trustees 

repealed their local opt-out 

ordinances on Nov. 28. The 

new ordinance established 

an effective date of March 

1, 2019, for opting into the 

sick leave ordinance in order 

to provide local businesses 

sufficient time to 

prepare to track sick-leave 

accruals. 

Northbrook village 

trustees agreed Nov. 25 to 

consider the repeal of their 

local opt-out ordinance regarding 

minimum wage in 

May 2019 if the State of Illinois 

has not taken formal 

action on the issues before 

that time. 

Northbrook repealed its 

local opt-out ordinance regarding 

sick leave in October 

but established an 

effective date of January 

1, 2019, to help ease the 

transition on businesses. 

But Joe Bredemann, of 

the Bredemann Family of 

Dealerships, argued that 

Glenview doesn’t compare 

to Wilmette; therefore, the 

board shouldn’t follow its 

neighbor’s lead. 

“Wilmette is really more 

of a bedroom community 

with a much smaller and 

much more retail-orientated 

base than we [have[,” 

he said. “We have a much 

larger business community 

than Wilmette, so what’s 

good for them isn’t necessarily 

going to be good

Police, officials investigating ‘unacceptable’ racial video posted by students 

Staff report 

An incident in which 

three students at Glenbrook 

South and Glenbrook 

North high schools 

allegedly posted a video 

on social media that contained 

“inappropriate and 

unacceptable racial content,” 

is under investigation 

by local police departments, 

according to 

From Dec. 10 

a letter sent to parents by 

school administrators. 

The Glenview and 

Northbrook police departments 

are currently looking 

into the video, which 

is being passed around by 

students, with support and 

collaboration from officials 

at Glenbrook South 

and Glenbrook North, according 

to the letter. 

The three students in 

the video did not attend 

school on Monday, Dec. 

10, GBS Principal Lauren 

Fagel and GBN Principal 

John Finan say in the letter. 

“Because we consider 

messages of this type to 

be threatening and offensive 

to members of our 

school community, steps 

are being taken to increase 

security awareness 

on the high school campuses,” 

the administrators 

wrote to parents. “We take 

incidents of this nature 

very seriously, and will 

be diligent in our efforts 

to ensure the safety of every 

member of our school 

community.” 

When asked about potential 

charges stemming 

from the ongoing investigation, 

Northbrook Police 

Department Deputy Chief 

Dan Strickland said “we 

don’t know at this time.” 

“We have to see where 

the investigation leads us, 

if there are charges appropriate,” 

Strickland said. 

“It’s hard to say with juveniles, 

but it depends on 

what we find out.” 

School administrators 

encouraged parents and 

students to share any information 

they have with 

the two police departments 

or with the dean’s 

office at either school. 

People can also submit 

information anonymously 

using online reporting 

forms available on the 

schools’ websites.

Santa makes a stop at Youth Services 

Jacqueline Zeisloft 


Decked out in yuletide 

garb and glee, an excited 

crowd of children 

from Glenview gathered 

at Youth Services Glenview/Northbrook 

this past 

Saturday to ring in the 

Christmas season at The 

Optimist Club’s fourth annual 

Breakfast with Santa 

event. 

Santa is naturally the 

event’s main attraction — 

the hero of the hourlong 

breakfast who all the kids 

want a moment with. But 

the organizers and volunteers 

behind the holiday 

magic of Breakfast with 

Santa strive to make the 

experience welcoming and 

fun for all. 

The annual holiday 

celebration is put on by 

The Optimist Club of 

Glenview in partnership 

with Youth Services of 

Glenview/Northbrook. 

Optimist International 

is a worldwide volunteer 

organization that looks 

to serve children in local 

communities. Through 

fundraising, scholarships 

and community outreach 

events like Breakfast with 

Santa, the Glenview chapter 

of the organization provides 

kids with engaging 

opportunities for positive 

growth. 

Together, the two organizations 

team up each 

year to host an event for 

children and families to 

come together and meet 

Santa. 

Optimist Club member 

and event organizer Karen 

Paszkiewicz described the 

process for sponsoring the 

event as a communal one. 

“It’s very collaborative. 

People want to come out 

and help,” she said. 

The event is growing

fast. Last year, the organizers 

added a second morning 

time slot for Breakfast 

with Santa in order to serve 

more families. This year, 

the event served about 275 

people in the community. 

Lisa Synnestvedt, the 

former president of Glenview’s 

Optimist Club, said 

Breakfast with Santa is her 

favorite event of the year. 

“This is the event we do 

each year that is entirely 

for the kids,” Synnestvedt 

said. “At this event, we 

serve a lot of our clients, 

and many are underserved 

kids. All of this is for 

them.” 

Every year, Youth 

Services of Glenview/ 

Northbrook calls for toy 

donations leading up to 

the holiday season. The 

organization then donates 

many of those toys to 

The Optimist Club, which 

gives them out to the children 

who attend Breakfast 

with Santa.

District 34 Caucus endorses four for school board 

Submitted Content 

The Glenview District 

34 Caucus endorsed four 

candidates for four seats 

on the Board of Education 

in the April 2019 election: 

Natalie Jachtorowycz, 

John Heggie, Scott 

Nelson and Michael 

Korman. 

The Caucus process is 

open to any residents expressing 

an interest. This 

year, five candidates came 

forward. 

The Caucus met with 

each candidate twice, in 

addition to reviewing detailed 

written responses to 

questionnaires completed 

by the candidates. 

“The Caucus-endorsed 

candidates bring people 

with complementing skill 

sets to the Board,” Caucus 

President Brandy Isaac 

said. “The candidates’ primary 

concerns are meeting 

the different academic 

and social needs of every 

student, empowering our 

teachers to inspire students, 

and maintaining 

Glenview’s high property 

values that are largely 

determined by the quality 

of our schools. All of 

these candidates are also 

dedicated to key issues we 

face—improving our aging 

facilities and continuously 

increasing student 

achievement.” 

Seeking a second term, 

Jachtorowycz is currently 

vice president of the 

board. She is also on District 

34’s Personnel Committee 

and on the Leadership 

Council for the North 

Suburban Special Education 

District. 

Jachtorowycz is a stayat-home 

mom and holds a 

law degree from DePaul 

University. 

Colonial Dental 

Brilliant smiles, artfully crafted 

Heggie is also seeking 

a second term and serves 

on the board’s Citizens 

Finance Advisory Committee. 

After earning his 

law degree from John 

Marshall Law School, he 

now owns an estate-planning 

firm. He also has additional 

expertise in risk 

management. 

Heggie has served as 

a sports coach for local 

youth teams and is involved 

with charities at 

OLPH. 

Seeking his first term, 

Nelson has extensive involvement 

with the district 

and community. 

He is former Chair of 

the Glenview Education 

Foundation and continues 

to serve on the Advisory 

Board. He is also a youth 

mentor for Youth Services 

of Glenview/Northbrook 

and served on the 

district’s Superintendent 

Interview Committee in 

2016. A commodity trader, 

he earned a Bachelor’s 

degree in political science 

from the University of Illinois 

Urbana-Champaign. 

Korman also is not an 

incumbent and would 

bring deep expertise in 

facilities and construction.

for Glenview.” 

Several members of 

the Glenview Chamber of 

Commerce argued against 

adopting the ordinance. 

President Karen Patterson, 

who spoke last for 

the delegation, said, “our 

message is simple.” 

“We believe the language 

in the referendum on 

election day did not outline 

its negative repercussions,” 

she said. “To have this be a 

county mandate, it creates 

an uneven playing field in 

which our business owners 

are required to play. Since 

Lake County and others 

don’t follow suit, they have 

the clear advantage. This 

should be a state mandate 

for all to follow equally. 

Until that time, we believe 

it’s best for the Village of 

Glenview to opt out of the 

county ordinances.” 

Subsequent to the passage 

of Cook County’s 

minimum wage ordinance, 

the Illinois State Senate 

and House of Representatives 

each approved a bill 

in May 2017 that, if adopted, 

would have increased 

the state’s minimum wage 

from $8.25 per hour to $9 

per hour, effective January 

1, 2018, with subsequent 

increases until the minimum 

wage reached $15 per 

hour by 2022. 

Governor Bruce Rauner 

vetoed the legislation in 

August 2017. There was insufficient 

support to override 

the governor’s veto 

in both the State Senate 

and the State House, and a 

subsequent bill regarding 

minimum wage hasn’t been 

approved since. 

Glenview businesses and 

organizations that spoke 

against adopting the Cook 

County ordinances, for 

various reasons, included 

the Glenview Chamber 

of Commerce, Johnny’s 

Kitchen and Tap, Stitchmine 

Custom Embroidery, 

Bedemann Ford, Heinen’s, 

Mingle Juice Bar, and Glen 

Oak Dog & Cat Hospital. 

Several told the board 

they would consider 

leaving Glenview if the 

ordinances were implemented 

in the village. The 

owner of another, Mingle 

Juice Bar, insinuated 

she would have to close 

down entirely. 

Organizations that spoke 

in favor of adopting the 

Cook County ordinances included 

the League of Women 

Voters and Cook County 

Board President Toni 

Preckwinkle’s office. 

After listening to their 

constituents, the Glenview 

Village Board was torn on 

the issue. 

“If I care about the disadvantaged, 

isn’t it completely 

incongruous for 

me to implement a policy 

that I think harms the disadvantaged?” 

Trustee Michael 

Jenny said. “But I 

don’t get to solely wear 

my personal-belief hat up 

here either. I have to serve 

all constituents of Glenview. 

I need to take into 

consideration all the viewpoints 

that were shared 

both here and through 

the referendum. And I 

have to make the decision 

that I believe is right for 

the community.” 

At the end of his argument, 

Jenny supported finding 

a way to raise the minimum 

wage in Glenview. 

Trustee Deborah Karton 

said she hoped the State 

Senate and House’s previous 

attempts to increase 

the minimum wage weren’t 

a “political stunt” staged 

because lawmakers knew 

Rauner would veto the 

bill. Now that Democrat 

J.B. Pritzker will occupy 

the governor’s mansion, 

Karton said she would like 

them to try again. 

“I do think, though, 

that elections have consequences, 

and we need to do 

something,” she said. “The 

overwhelming preference 

of the voters who voted is 

to adopt [the ordinances].” 

Ultimately, Village President 

Jim Patterson directed 

staff to include an advisory 

item on the Thursday, Jan. 

3 meeting agenda so the 

board could explore the options: 

stick with their original 

decision, opt into one 

or both of the ordinances, 

or write their own laws on 

minimum wage and sick 

leave specifically tailored 

to Glenview. 

He also warned that, 

because of the complexity 

of the issue and its potential 

effects on the business 

community, a final 

vote on the issue could be 

postponed several months 

while village staff sifts 

through the details. 

After that, any new law 

could take months before 

going into effect to give 

businesses time to make 

the transition; when Cook 

County passed its ordinances 

in late 2016, they 

didn’t take effect until the 

following summer.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Assisted living and 

memory care facility 

unanimously rejected 

In front of a packed 

crowd at Northfield Village 

Hall, the Village 

Board unanimously rejected 

a special-use ordinance 

to allow for an assisted living 

and memory care facility 

at 1622 Willow Road at 

its Dec. 4 meeting. 

The facility was proposed 

to have 44 units, 

with 33 assisted living 

apartments and 11 memory 

care apartments. Trustee 

Tom Roszak felt this 

was not the right location 

for this facility next to a 

residential neighborhood. 

“These uses are not 

compatible,” Roszak said. 

“Having an assisted living 

and memory care facility 

next to these 200 homes is 

not compatible. It would 

cause extreme hardship on 

the neighbors. I just think 

it should be in a more appropriate 

location and not 

in this location.” 

Trustee Greg Lungmus 

concurred with his fellow 

trustee Roszak that this 

was not the right place for 

this facility. 

“I think there’s a need 

for a facility like this and 

I’d like to see one built in 

Northfield, but not in this 

location,” Lungmus said. 

“I’m excited about the idea 

that this building could be 

reutilized, but at the end of 

the day, I really have trouble 

with the structure itself 

being used as a memory 

residence, so I just don’t 

see it working.” 

Trustee John Gregorio 

was concerned with the 

impact this project would 

have on the adjacent 

residential neighborhood. 

Twenty-two Northfield 

residents voiced their 

thoughts on the proposal 

during public comment, 

with 20 people against the 

project and two in favor.

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Winter Express shuttles 

residents from Takiff to 

Watts for activities 

Glencoe families found 

the perfect way to celebrate 

the official start of 

the holiday season, hopping 

aboard the Winter 

Express Trolley on Dec. 

1, singing holiday carols 

from the Takiff to 

Watts Center, eagerly anticipating 

a visit with the 

man in red. 

The event was spearheaded 

by Liz Visteen, 

program manager and 

special events and active 

adults coordinator, who 

dressed as a holly, jolly 

elf, excited to welcome 

residents to her event. 

“The holiday season is 

such a fun and festive time, 

so the more programs we 

can create for families to 

experience the joy, the better,” 

Visteen said. “And, 

who doesn’t love riding 

a trolley? Plus, we upped 

the festivities by singing 

carols on the way to 

the Watts Center and then 

reading ‘Frosty the Snowman’ 

on the way back to 

the Takiff Center, making 

for a memorable ride.” 

After families made 

the festive journey from 

the Takiff Center over to 

Watts, all were encouraged 

to make crafts, such as 

snowmen and ornaments, 

to adorn their own homes. 

Next came cookie-decorating 

before waiting for a 

turn to tell Santa what they 

wanted most this holiday 

season. 

The Murphy family, of 

Glencoe, includes mom 

and dad, Alison and Mike, 

along with their three 

young daughters, Campbell, 

Mallory and Harper. 

The girls couldn’t wait 

to see Santa, telling him 

how much they wanted 

flamingos and an Amazon 

“Alexa” system — requests 

that brought a giggle 

from mom and dad.

Last December, the developer 

for One Winnetka 

requested to revise its 

plans for another round of 

review by the Village’s advisory 

bodies and the Village 

Council. The project 

was given final approval in 

October, but the developer 

still has a couple more 

steps to take to make it official. 

The developer has to 

get approval from the Design 

Review Board at its 

Dec. 10 meeting and the 

developer also has to close 

on the Connie’s property. 

“They need to get in 

front of the Design Review 

Board,” Bahan said. 

“They’re scheduled to do 

that next week, and the Design 

Review Board has final 

control over the finishes 

and the final treatments 

of the building. They still 

need to close on the Connie’s 

property, which is the 

last piece to assemble the 

site. Until they do that, the 

zoning approvals will not 

be effective.” 

The developer estimates 

the project has approximately 

$100 million worth 

of development value. 

There is 30,000 square feet 

of commercial space on 

the first floor and 58 total 

units (seven townhouses, 

15 condominiums and 36 

rental units). There will 

be two levels of parking in 

the building with a total of 

246 spaces.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

District 27 tax levy calls 

for near 4 percent increase 

Final approval of the 

2018 property tax levy of 

$27,483,734 for Northbrook 

School District 27 

is set for the Thursday, 

Dec. 20 meeting of the 

Board of Education following 

a public hearing 

at the board’s Thursday, 

Dec. 6 meeting. 

Assistant Superintendent 

for Finance and Operations 

Dr. Kimberly Arakelian 

said the levy is 3.98 

percent higher than that of 

2017. The levy combines 

the 2017 Consumer Price 

Index (CPI) of 2.1 percent 

plus a 1.88 percent increase 

to account for potential 

new property that can be 

added to the tax rolls. 

Arakelian pointed out 

that although the state 

doesn’t require a public 

hearing unless the levy is 5 

percent or higher than the 

previous year, it is common 

practice for District 

27 to hold the hearing in 

keeping with its policy of 

transparency. 

No members of the 

public came to the hearing 

to comment on the 

levy that was discussed 

by the board at its Thursday, 

Nov. 18 meeting. 

At that time the board 

recommended approval. 

Arkelian said she is 

monitoring “key issues” 

that could impact the tax 

levy in future year.

From Page 8 

toy after their visit with 

Santa. Some took home 

little cars or musical instruments, 

others got big 

fluffy stuffed dogs and 

bears. 

Decorated with holiday 

trees, streamers and a large 

Santa wall ornament, the 

gymnasium was a winter 

wonderland with games 

and crafting stations. Families 

sat around large communal 

tables; parents talked 

while the kids stuffed 

their small faces with donuts, 

waffles and bagels. 

The atmosphere in the 

room was full of joy and 

anticipation as everyone 

awaited St. Nick’s arrival. 

Ivonne Trejo, of Glenview, 

brought her daughters 

— Vanessa Alonso, 

10, and Mia Ocampo, 2 — 

to meet Santa on Saturday. 

Vanessa is a member Youth 

Service’s Adventures Program, 

which provides 

experiential programming 

and problem-solving skills 

for children 5-18. 

Trejo’s daughters showed 

up dressed in sparkly holiday 

ensembles, ready for 

their photo ops with Santa. 

Vanessa said she wants “a 

big surprise” for Christmas 

this year, while her younger 

sister, Mia, said she’s looking 

for some makeup or 

Princess Elsa’s “dress from 

Frozen.” 

Also at the table with 

Trejo was her friend, 

Patricia Juarez, and her 

sons, Brandon, 10, Brian, 

8 and Jonathan, 3. Trejo 

said it was Juarez and her 

sons’ first time at Youth 

Services, adding they were 

there not only to meet 

Santa but to learn about 

some of Youth Services’ 

programs. 

Many longtime Youth 

Services clients were 

at the special holiday 

breakfast on Saturday. 

Stephanie Roque, 13, 

said she has been a member 

of the Study Buddies 

program at Youth Services 

since she was in the third 

grade. Each week, volunteers 

in the Study Buddies 

program help elementary 

students with their homework 

after school. 

“It’s really fun,” Roque 

said. “I go after school two 

times a week and get lots 

of homework done.” 

Though she’s only 13, 

Roque has many Breakfasts 

with Santa under her belt, 

and this year, she brought 

her younger siblings along 

for the celebration. 

Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook 

offers a 

variety of social programs 

to the underserved children 

in the two villages. 

From crisis intervention 

and group therapy to afterschool 

Study Buddies and 

Boys and Girls Clubs, the 

organization aims to be the 

center of collaborative social 

and emotional support 

for children and youth.

From the Editor 

Take advantage of public hearings 

Jason Addy 

Editor 

If you read my editorial 

each week, you may 

have already noticed a 

pattern. 

Over the past several 

weeks, going back to our 

pre-election issue at the 

end of October, I’ve been 

urging the residents of 

Glenview to take a more 

active role in their local 

governments. 

First, I told you to get 

and vote for candidates 

running for the Illinois 

governor’s office, legislative 

offices in Springfield 

and the U.S. House of 

Representatives. 

Last week, I tried to encourage 

all residents in the 

village who get The Glenview 

Lantern to embrace 

the early start of the next 

election cycle after Citizens 

for Glenview, a nonpartisan 

residents’ group, threw its 

weight behind three candidates 

for the Glenview 

Village Board at the start of 

the month. 

As promised in my 

previous editorial, other 

local organizations are 

beginning to follow suit, 

announcing the slate of 

candidates they will be 

supporting over the next 

few months. 

Since the Dec. 6 edition 

of The Lantern, the District 

34 Caucus announced it 

will be supporting four 

candidates to win a seat on 

the Glenview School District 

34 Board of Education 

in the upcoming April 

municipal elections. (Turn 

to Page 11 to read the full 

announcement and learn 

about the candidates.) 

This week, let me use 

this space to implore The 

Lantern’s readers to get 

involved in their local governments 

beyond learning 

about the candidates and 

voting. 

Several times this month 

while editing stories to 

publish and post online 

at GlenviewLantern.com, 

I have read about local 

boards holding public 

hearings to give residents 

and constituents an opportunity 

to provide input and 

voice their concerns about 

their spending plans for the 

upcoming year. 

Somewhat worryingly to 

me, at each instance, not a 

single resident or constituent 

showed up to these 

public hearings. 

While that could mean 

that every person affected 

by these budgets is 100 

percent satisfied with 

how they are written, my 

instincts tell me that’s very 

far from the truth. 

In the last few weeks of 

the year, many Glenview 

boards will be finalizing 

their budgets and tax levies, 

setting the price you 

will pay next year to keep 

these organizations running. 

I strongly, strongly 

encourage you to be there 

when they do. 

If not, you’ll have to 

wait another year to speak 

your peace.

Chabad celebrates Chanukah with Glenview community 

Chris Pullam 


The scene outside Glenview 

Village Hall on 

Wednesday, Dec. 5, was 

symbolic of the occasion: 

Chabad of Glenview & 

Morton Grove’s 15th annual 

menorah-lighting ceremony. 

At 5:59 p.m., the west 

lawn was cold, quiet and 

dark. But only a few minutes 

later, hot chocolate 

warmed bodies, song filled 

the air and a massive menorah 

burned bright through 

the night. 

“If you want to take 

away the darkness, you add 

light,” said Rabbi Yishaya 

Benjaminson. “When you 

want to take away the hatred, 

you add love. If there’s 

hatred in the world for no 

reason, then you have to fill 

the world with love for no 

reason. That’s how we fight 

back. That’s how we fight 

darkness.” 

Benjaminson led the 

ceremony with the help of 

Village Trustee Michael 

Jenny, who addressed the 

intimate crowd and helped 

light the menorah. 

After reaffirming their 

purpose on that night and 

lighting four of the menorah’s 

nine candles — 

one for each night of the 

holiday — Benjaminson 

moved aside so that his 

congregants could sing, 

dance and spread their revelry 

as cars zipped along 

Lake Avenue. 

Two families, attracted 

to the ceremony by the 

burning flames or the flyers 

distributed outside the 

nearby Jewel, introduced 

themselves to Benjaminson 

that night and asked about 

his synagogue. 

“We wanted to let people 

know about Chanukah, so 

we brought our celebration 

outside,” Benjaminson 

said. “Once a year, 

we spread the light. When 

people don’t go to synagogue, 

they can’t see it. 

But this night, we bring the 

goodness and kindness to 

the outside world, we bring 

this illumination outside to 

make the world nicer and 

kinder.” 

The public display of 

faith was more important 

this year to Benjaminson, 

as well as several of his 

congregants, following the 

mass shooting at the Tree 

of Life synagogue on Oct. 

27 in Pittsburgh during the 

Shabbat morning services. 

Eleven people were killed 

and seven were injured, 

and it was the deadliest attack 

on the Jewish community 

in the United States. 

Benjaminson also mentioned 

a friend who was 

shot in east Rogers Park the 

previous month. 

“We have to act good 

and kind, and this light will 

take away the darkness,” 

he said. “The light of the 

menorah, of kindness, will 

usher in good and happiness 

and sharing and caring. 

It will usher in the 

coming of the messiah.” 

The story of Chanukah 

is preserved in the books of 

the First and Second Maccabees, 

which describe the 

rededication of the Temple 

in Jerusalem and the lighting 

of the menorah after the 

Maccabean Revolt against 

the Seleucid Empire. 

“It wasn’t just war for 

land; it was also cultural 

war,” Benjaminson said. 

“They didn’t want us to 

practice our religion of Judaism. 

… After we won, 

when they came to the temple, 

it was desecrated and 

they couldn’t find any pure 

olive oil fit for lighting the 

menorah. The only found a 

small jug and it would take 

eight days to find more, but 

they used that jug and there 

was a miracle: it lasted 

eight days.” 

According to Benjaminson, 

the tale teaches that 

“everyone has their jug of 

oil, their spark to light their 

soul, and they can share 

that spark even before you 

have a full barrel of oil.”

actually the end of a larger 

celebration. The night before, 

Benjaminson and his

Planning a trip to Disney 

World? Buy a guidebook. 

Traveling to Italy? Buy a 

guidebook. 

Embarking on a road 

trip as a black man in 

America’s Deep South in 

1962? Don’t go anywhere 

without a copy of the “Negro 

Motorist Green Book,” 

published during the era 

of Jim Crow laws, which 

details hotels, restaurants 

and gas stations that would 

serve African-Americans. 

From 1936 to 1966, 

this travel guide listed 

businesses that would offer 

relatively friendly service 

to black customers 

who were typically turned 

away. 

Once the Civil Rights 

Act was passed in 1964, 

printing eventually ceased. 

But for three decades, it 

was a necessary tool for 

survival on the road for a 

number of travelers. 

“Green Book” tells the 

true story of Dr. Don Shirley, 

a world-class concert 

pianist, holder of three 

doctorates, speaker of 

eight languages, an erudite 

scholar with a career no 

doubt curtailed because he 

was an African-American 

man fighting against the 

tide during the civil rights 

movement. 

Knowing that he 

was risking his life, 

Shirley opted to tour in 

support of his record 

throughout the South 

in an effort to improve 

race relations during the 

early ‘60s when that idea 

was nearly unthinkable. 

Aware that he would 

need protection and an 

ambassador of sorts, he 

hired Tony Vallelonga, 

a sometime bouncer/ 

driver/fixer to chauffeur 

him and handle any 

unpleasantness that would 

certainly arise. 

While the actual tour 

took over a year, the movie 

condenses the trip to 

two months and jams in 

as many elements as possible 

to showcase the growing 

friendship between 

the two men amid the 

circumstances that they 

faced. 

Mahershala Ali is superb 

as Don Shirley, with 

his long, elegant fingers 

languidly punctuating his 

precise diction. Ali took 

enough piano lessons to 

adequately pose as a virtuoso, 

but the real performance 

comes from his 

expressive facial and body 

language and his simple 

manner of being. 

Viggo Mortenson’s 

rough-around-the-edges 

Tony “Lip” Vallelonga 

is the perfect foil as the 

very Italian Bronx native 

whose initial racist attitudes 

shift as a result of his 

relationship with Shirley. 

The road trip commences 

with the expected culture 

clash of the two very 

disparate personalities at 

odds, and then, thoughtfully, 

the men realize that 

perhaps they have more 

in common than at first 

glance. 

Don marvels at Tony’s 

blunt insights of the world 

around them, even if he 

doesn’t quite understand 

the perspective, while 

Tony soaks in the worldliness 

of a man who seems 

to reside in an entirely 

different realm from everyone 

else. Which is, 

of course, the crux of the 

story, since Don laments 

that he isn’t black or white 

enough to be accepted on 

either side. 

While Tony eventually 

sees Don solely for who 

he is, others clearly are 

not capable of looking past 

skin color. 

This movie might be set 

in the early ‘60s during 

the burgeoning civil rights 

movement and some areas 

might have moved past 

the idea of sun-downing, 

but several moments seem 

all too familiar in present 

times. 

The best scenes arise 

when the two interact, 

Don schooling Tony on 

the perfect love letter or 

Tony extolling the virtues 

of the Delta blues. Showcasing 

the merits of unique 

individuals certainly 

makes beautiful music, so 

let the band play on.

Little Tails Bar and Grill a ‘step up from traditional sports bar’ 

Martin Carlino 

Contributing Editor 

Just months after opening 

Little Tails Bar and 

Grill, John Kopanski and 

Chandra Parshetty believe 

they have the makings of a 

restaurant unlike any other 

in the area. 

The management duo 

behind west Lake Forest’s 

newest restaurant spent 

months conceptualizing its 

vision for a communityfriendly 

sports bar-style 

eatery. 

Little Tails “started as 

just an empty shell,” Kopanski 

said. “Parshetty, 

with the help of some restaurant 

consultants, put it 

all together.” 

Parshetty estimates 

nearly five months of preparation 

work went into the 

restaurant’s soft opening in 

late October. 

With months of experience 

now under their belts, 

and what they described as 

an “outstanding” welcoming 

from the community, 

Kopanski and Parshetty 

are envisioning a future 

full of success. 

“The welcoming from 

the community has just 

been outstanding,” Kopanski 

said. “It’s just been 

absolutely great. The main 

thing we hear everyday is 

‘We needed this.’ ... We 

believe we’ve just begun 

to scratch the surface.” 

Both feel what separates 

Little Tails from other 

sports bar-style restaurants 

is the high quality of 

ingredients they use. 

“What’s unique about us 

is anyone can serve a hamburger, 

but we serve wagyu 

beef in our hamburgers, 

which is a Japanese-raised 

beef. That’s what makes 

it unique,” Kopanski said. 

“It’s something we feel is 

definitely different, something 

good and something

that is high quality.” 

Although its menu mirrors 

that of a sports bar, 

the food offerings at Little 

Tails go above and beyond, 

according to Kopanski. 

“We’re a step up from 

traditional sports bar 

food,” Kopanski said. 

“And I think [guests] will 

see that when it comes to 

our food. 

And the root of Parshetty’s 

passion comes from 

the process of making 

those high-quality dishes. 

“I’ve always enjoyed 

the process of making 

food,” he said. “I enjoy 

everything that goes into 

making food. I’ve spent a 

lot of time traveling and 

that has inspired me. Food 

is my passion, and I wanted 

to bring a nice hangout 

place for the community.” 

Parshetty continued to 

say that he draws inspiration 

from the work of the 

late Anthony Bourdain and 

he places an emphasis on 

hand-picking selections 

for Little Tails’ menu and 

cocktails list. 

Both Kopanski and 

Parshetty believe the menu 

has been well-received 

thus far, but they’re always 

trying to keep guests 

coming back for more. 

“We’ll tweak the menu 

as we go along,” Kopanski 

said. “We do want to 

change the menu every 

few months.” 

And regardless of what 

Little Tails’ meatball hero ($12) features meatballs in marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese and comes topped 

with fresh basil. 

The restaurant’s shrimp de jonghe ($24) is served with 

five shrimp tossed in a white wine garlic cream sauce.

menu offerings they 

feature, Kopanski and 

Parshetty couldn’t be happier 

with the reception 

from customers. 

“I’ve been doing this 30 

years and I’ve never met a 

more pleasant, patient, understanding 

group of customers 

in my life ... These 

customers are the best 

I’ve ever had anywhere,” 

Kopanski said. 

The duo hopes to roll 

out new soup options and 

lunch specials sometime 

in the coming days. In 

the future, Parshetty said 

Sunday brunch options are 

a possibility, as well. 

Once winter passes, an 

outdoor patio and the addition 

of live music during 

the summer months are 

both possibilities. 

Editors from 22nd Century 

Media headed to the 

new Lake Forest eatery to 

test out some of its offerings. 

We started with The 

Little Tails burger ($14), 

a dish Kopanski said is 

quickly becoming a fan favorite. 

And after tasting the 

dish, it’s easy to see why. 

The flavorful burger is 

Little Tails’ namesake burger ($14) is made from wagyu 

beef and topped with avocado, maple bacon, brie 

cheese, bacon jam and garlic aioli. 

a half-pound of wagyu 

beef topped with avocado, 

maple bacon, brie cheese, 

bacon jam, garlic aioli, and 

served on a brioche bun. 

Next up was Little Tails’ 

chopped salad ($12), which 

Kopanski described as “a 

little different than your traditional 

chopped salad” because 

of its featured ingredients. 

The chopped salad 

comes with grilled chicken, 

roasted corn, tomato, iceberg 

and romaine, roasted 

red pepper, pasta, tortilla 

chips and is tossed in 

buttermilk ranch dressing. 

The third dish on our 

menu is Little Tails’ meatball 

hero ($12), which is 

served on a fresh-baked 

hoagie with housemade 

meatballs in marinara 

sauce, mozzarella 

cheese and topped with 

fresh basil. 

We finished our visit 

with a hearty portion of 

shrimp de jonghe ($24). 

The dish features five butterflied 

shrimp, tossed in 

a white wine garlic cream 

sauce, is topped with garlic 

bread crumbs and served 

over linguine pasta.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Shannon Schmitt 

Schmitt is a senior at 

Glenbrook South and has 

been a constant force 

for the Glenbrook girls 

hockey team this season. 

When and why did 

you start playing 

hockey? 

I started playing hockey 

when I was 9 because 

it was just before the 

Blackhawks started getting 

popular and I live 

close to the ice rink, so 

I asked my dad to go try 

skating. He thought I 

meant figure skating at 

first, but that was too not 

sporty enough for me, 

so I decided to go with 

hockey instead. 

What do you like most 

about the sport? 

I like the aspect of the 

team the most because every 

year, we’ve had such 

a different team environment 

and with every year 

it just gets more fun. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before a 

game? 

I always have to sit in the 

corner of whatever locker 

room we’re in so that I 

can see everybody so I 

know what’s 

going on. 

What is your favorite 

sports moment? 

It has to be two years 

ago when we were at the 

United Center and the 

moment we knew that we 

had won the state championship. 

What is one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I have web toes but I am 

not a great swimmer. 

What would you do if 

you won the 

lottery? 

I would give half the 

money to charity and 

use the other half to pay 

for college. 

If you could be any 

superhero, what super 

power would you 

want? 

I would want to be able 

to teleport places so I 

could travel really quickly 

and not have to deal with 

traffic. I could also travel 

to multiple places on the 

same day. 

If you could play any 

other sport, what 

sport would 

it be? 

I play field hockey and 

softball as well, but if 

I could choose another 

sport to play, it would 

be gymnastics because I 

think it’s so cool. 

What is one thing on 

your bucket list? 

I want to go to all the 

games of a Stanley 

Cup Final. 

If you could be any 

animal, which animal 

would you be? 

I would be a monkey because 

they have so much 

energy and are hopping 

from tree to the next.

Coach Talk 

Great skate for ladies of MsConduct 

Jon ‘Coach’ Cohn 

Contributing Columnist 

Glenview Resident 

You have to love 

the name: MsConduct. 

It’s the 

perfect moniker for these 

“ladies of the ice.” 

It symbolizes fun, spirit 

and competitive desire; 

exactly what you get with 

this women’s hockey 

franchise based out of our 

very own Glenview Ice 

Center. 

That’s right, the great 

game of hockey being 

played by females in their 

post college 20’s all the 

way up to a few who may 

be entering their 50’s and 

even 60’s. 

Women’s hockey; who 

knew? Apparently someone, 

as the program has 

exploded in popularity in 

recent years. 

The women who play 

come from all over the 

North Shore, but Glenview 

seems to be their 

base. 

Some are ex-competitive 

players from high 

school or college days, 

much like Glenview 

native Christina Dallas, 

who played club hockey 

at Loyola University, and 

upon graduating, wanted 

to keep at it. 

“I just started playing in 

college,” Dallas said, “and 

really enjoyed it. After 

discovering there was a 

hockey program right in 

my own hometown for 

adults, I figured I give it 

a try.” 

Some eight years later, 

Dallas is still playing and 

still loving it. 

“It’s really fun,” she 

said. “You get to make a 

lot of social contacts, a 

lot of great friends and 

the competition is pretty 

solid.” 

Note: Not all MsConduct 

participants are 

ex-skaters and high school 

players. Some are new to 

the game, maybe moms 

whose kids have moved 

out of the house, exhockey 

moms, or maybe 

women just looking for a 

new recreational pursuit. 

Such was the case for 

another Glenview native, 

Suzy Lutsch, who decided 

to celebrate the coming 

of her 50th birthday by 

taking up the game of 

hockey. 

“Never too old to try 

something new, right?” 

Lutsch laughed. “I decided 

to give it a try, and 

I absolutely love it. So 

much fun competing, and 

even better getting to meet 

and make so many new 

friends.” 

No question the social 

aspect of the program is 

big. The players gather 

regularly after games at 

their program sponsor 

Players Pub and Grill in 

Prospect Heights. Over 

some food and a brew 

or two, many new social 

contacts and friendships 

are solidified. 

But make no mistake, 

the hockey competition 

is what the women really 

love. 

The league they 

compete in is called the 

WCHL (Women’s Central 

Hockey League), and features 

teams from all over 

the Midwest including 

Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, 

Wisconsin and Michigan. 

The WCHL started back 

some 18 years ago. 

Our local team, MsConduct, 

joined in 2006, 

starting out as kind of an 

instructional adult class, 

but growing into a fullfledged 

travel program 

with four teams now 

competing. 

They practice once a 

week and usually have a 

game once a week, with 

the season going from 

September all the way till 

mid-March. 

As all hockey players 

will attest to, ice time is 

precious, and schedules 

have to be flexible. 

This is no different for 

our MsConduct players 

who show their dedication 

by having practices 

as late as 10:30 or 11 

at night. Traveling for 

games can take a big 

chuck out of your weekend 

schedule. 

But the women who 

play love it, and The 

MsConduct program continues 

to grow. 

You can check out their 

website at msconducthockey.com;

From the Sports Editor 

Appreciate different moments sports offer 

Michal Dwojak 

Sports Editor 

Life comes at you 

fast, and boy does 

that phrase come 

true when it comes to 

sports. 

At one moment, your 

team can be at the top of 

the mountain with all the 

glory, then before you can 

finish celebrating, you’re 

looking at draft projections 

because it all fell 

apart. 

This mentality can be 

different in professional 

and college sports, where 

years of bad performances 

can lead to eventual 

success. Yes, for a few 

seasons you’re wearing a 

brown bag because you’re 

embarrassed of your team, 

but then you get a high 

draft pick or get that fivestar 

recruit and everything 

is different. 

High school sports is 

such a different animal. 

There’s no tanking or 

building programs in high 

school sports — though 

many people will argue 

with me that schools have 

feeder programs that lead 

to continues success — so 

you’re relying on the talent 

that comes in each and 

every year, hoping you’ll 

find your next star. 

That’s what’s so special 

about high school sports: 

For the most part, you 

can’t predict when a 

Cinderella story will take 

place. Sure you can tell 

when a team is going to be 

good, but you can never 

truly tell a championship 

team, for the most part, 

until you’re really into the 

season. 

Some things will 

be constants for many 

schools, like football is at 

Loyola Academy, but the 

one thing I’ve learned during 

my time as the sports 

editor of The Lantern is 

that things might seem 

like they will go one way, 

but don’t use last year’s 

record as any indication 

for how the next season 

will take place. One year’s 

group of seniors might be 

able to lead you to success, 

and then they graduate 

and move on. 

The reason I bring all 

of this up is because this 

fall showed how things 

might not go as we expect 

sometimes. We knew the 

Glenbrook South boys 

soccer team would be 

good, but few people 

predicted the Titans would 

have the season they did. 

So get out there and 

enjoy the different stories 

that are left to be told out 

there the rest of the school 

year. By the time the winter 

sports end, I guarantee 

there will be a fun story 

that we here at The Lantern 

will be excited to tell 

you and I couldn’t predict 

to you as I sit here at my 

desk writing on a cold 

November day. 

That’s the beauty of 

sports: The best stories 

are the ones you don’t see 

coming.

Girls Gymnastics 

Titans finish strong at Spartan Classic 

Neil Milbert 


The nine-team Spartan 

Classic turned out to be a 

showcase for the New Trier, 

Glenbrook South, Lake 

Forest and Glenbrook 

North. 

The Trevians amassed 

143.425 points to capture 

the championship in 

the competition at GBN 

on Friday, Dec. 7. GBS 

finished second with 

140.475, the Scouts were 

third with 134.575 and the 

Spartans came in fourth 

with 131.100. 

There were four events 

— vault, balance beam, 

uneven bars and floor exercise 

— and four girls 

represented their schools 

in each of the events. 

Sophomore Sheena Graham 

was the top all-around 

performer for GBS, finishing 

sixth (35.050). Junior 

Jenna Hartley also stood 

out by coming in second in 

the vault (9.725) and fifth 

in her only other event, the 

uneven bars (9.075). 

Highlighting Graham’s 

performance was a second 

in balance beam (9.350) 

and a three-way tie for 

fourth in floor exercise 

(8.850). 

“We think we have a 

team that’s comparable to 

our team last year,” said 

coach Steve Gale of the 

Titans, looking back on his 

2017-18 team’s third place 

performance in the state 

meet in which the Titans 

had a score of 146.60 to 

fourth place New Trier’s 

146.275. 

“We are deep with talent. 

We are working on developing 

that talent. A lot 

of good things happened 

tonight. We want to get 

better each meet and we 

did that tonight.”

“This was our first big 

meet against harder teams 

that perform at a high 

level,” Hartley said. “It 

was my second time this 

year competing in vault. 

The first time was Tuesday 

(Dec. 4) and I improved 

my score a lot.” 

New Trier gymnasts finished 

1-2-3 in all around: 

Rachel Zun showed the 

way with a composite 

score of 36.250 followed 

by teammates Maeve 

Murdock with a 36.200 

and Darcy Barkal with a 

35.900. 

Zun was second in both 

the uneven bars (9.250) 

and floor exercise (9.150). 

Barkal won the vault 

(9.75) and floor exercise 

(9.250) and teammate 

Zoey Spangler was first in 

the balance beam (9.375). 

“It was a fun meet and 

we did great right off the 

bat,” New Trier Coach 

Jennifer Pistorius said. 

“I’m so proud of them.” 

In spite of illness and 

injuries, the Trevians’ season 

also is off to an exhilarating 

start. Competing 

at home in their opening 

meet they were compelling 

conquerors of Deerfield 

and they then traveled to 

Glenbard West where they 

knocked off the defending 

state champion (on Dec. 

8). 

Barkal was sidelined for 

three weeks with the flu 

and Avery Faulkner (who 

helped the Trevians earn 

a fourth place finish in last 

year’s state meet) has been 

on the disabled list with a 

shin injury. 

“We’re lucky we have 

so much depth, so many 

talented girls,” Pistorius 

said. “We have 12 or 15 

we could put in the varsity 

lineup.” 

The team also has experience 

in competing at 

the highest level. Zun, 

Murdock and Faulkner are 

juniors, while Barkal and 

Spangler are seniors. 

“I was kind of disappointed 

with my performance 

last year,” Zun said. 

“At Sectionals I had a mistake 

on my bar routine and 

was really disappointed 

that I didn’t make state. I 

used that as motivation.”

Martinelli shines again, takes down Spartans 

Gary Larsen 


After Glenbrook South 

junior Dom Martinelli 

scored 26 points against 

his team, veteran Glenbrook 

North coach David 

Weber did not mince 

words. 

“Martinelli is the best 

high school player I’ve 

seen in years,” Weber 

said. “He’s unbelievable. 

It doesn’t look real fancy, 

but he’s going to get 30 

(points) on you like it’s 

nothing.” 

Martinelli’s ability to 

move without the ball and 

get open was on full display 

in Glenbrook South’s 

62-44 win at GBN on Saturday, 

Dec. 8. 

GBS senior Will King 

can distribute as well as 

any point guard around, 

and he appreciates the 

work Martinelli does to 

provide an easy target. 

“The kid’s amazing,” 

King said. “I love playing 

with him. He hustles and 

scraps a lot for his points, 

he knows how and when 

to get open, and we can all 

find him.” 

Martinelli, a 6-foot-4- 

inch forward, said that in 

his second varsity season, 

he simply has a better understanding 

of South coach 

Phil Ralston’s offense. 

“I just move to open 

spots and try to get as many 

looks as I can,” Martinelli 

said. “My teammates give 

me great passes and I just 

keep working hard for the 

ball. The key is just hard 

work, having an IQ for the 

game, and understanding 

where the open spots are.” 

The Central Suburban 

League crossover game in 

Northbrook was nip and 

tuck at the outset as the 

game’s first quarter saw

eight lead changes. GBN 

took a 12-11 lead on a 

baseline jump shot from 

Brian Johnson, but that 

was the last time the Spartans 

would hold the lead 

all night. 

A 3-pointer from Tyler 

Nelson gave GBS a 14- 

12 lead and the Titans led 

17-12 by quarter’s end. 

King led South with seven 

points and guard David 

Mirochnick led North with 

five. 

The second quarter saw 

GBS (8-0) take control 

over GBN (5-3). The Titans 

used a 19-8 scoring 

edge in the quarter to build 

a 36-20 halftime lead as 

Martinelli scored 10 of his 

26 points to lead the way. 

Ralston was pleased 

with his side’s secondquarter 

play. 

“We ran our (offensive) 

sets perfectly and were 

able to get some transition 

baskets, and I thought our 

defense was just outstanding,” 

Ralston said. “So far 

this season they’ve done 

a nice job of playing the 

game the way we want it 

played.” 

Turnovers hurt GBN in 

the pivotal second quarter. 

“We knew it was going 

to be a battle and we needed 

to hang close in that first 

half,” Weber said. “We had 

a couple mental mistakes, 

we got in foul trouble with 

our point guard (Mirochnick) 

and when he went 

out that’s when they took 

that lead. 

“But that’s a great team. 

They’re smart, they share 

the ball, and they’re a very 

well-coached team.” 

South’s 16-point lead 

held after each team scored 

13 points in the third quarter, 

but the Titans’ lead 

swelled to 53-33 early in 

the fourth on a Joe Shapiro 

drive to the basket. 

The Spartans continued to 

battle but the Titans stayed 

in control to the final 

buzzer. King and Jimmy 

McMahon each finished 

with nine points, while the 

Titans got two three-pointers 

in the game from Mac 

Hubbard and one apiece 

from McMahon and Tyler 

Nelson. 

“It was a fun game and 

fun to win against our rival,” 

King said. “I haven’t 

beaten them in my four 

years here so it was really 

nice to get the win. 

We played really well as a 

team. Chemistry-wise, this 

is the best team I’ve ever 

been a part of. We know 

where to find each other 

and we know how to play 

Will King drives the ball. 

as a team.” 

GBN center Frank Siegien 

led the Spartans 

with 15 points, Brian 

Johnson scored 12 and 

Jeremy Gertz scored seven. 

Gertz hit two 3-pointers 

while Alex Press and 

Mirochnick buried one a 

piece, for a Spartans offense 

in the process of 

finding its way. 

“We’ve just got to keep 

working and figure our 

offense out,” Weber said. 

“Against good teams it’s 

been difficult for us to 

score and as a coach, I 

have to figure out what we 

should run to get us more 

looks.”

Athletes of the

1. Sheena Graham

gymnast was the 

top all-around 

performer for 

the Titans at the

finishing in sixth 

place in a tough 

field.

continues to

26 points against 

rival Glenbrook 

North. 

3. Sami Moussally 

GBS’ boys 

swimmer won 

the 200- and 

500-meter 

freestyle swims. 

Gary Larsen 


Sophomore Sami Moussally 

didn’t have a team to 

swim on at Grayslake Central 

last year, so when he 

transferred to Glenbrook 

South the team culture under 

coach Keith MacDonald 

was new to him. 

So far, he can’t say 

enough about it. 

“Being a part of this 

team is just amazing,” 

Moussally said. “The energy 

is always up, somebody 

is always cheering for you, 

and no one’s ever letting 

you get down. It’s just all 

positivity.” 

Moussally won the 

200- and 500-meter freestyle 

events in the Titans’ 

116-69 dual meet win over 

visiting rival Glenbrook 

North on Friday, Dec. 7, 

in Glenview. Moussally 

didn’t take the lead in the 

500 until the mid-point of 

the race before finishing 

10 seconds ahead of the 

field. 

“The 500 is a bit of a 

stretch for him,” MacDonald 

said. “He’s more of a 

100, 200 guy so when we 

come down to the very end 

of the season, he’s going 

to be very valuable in the 

shorter races. He’s talented 

and we’re fortunate to 

have him. He gets along 

with all the guys, and I 

think he’s really enjoying 

the experience,” 

The 500 freestyle is a 

grueling race and Moussally 

felt things out before 

turning on the afterburners, 

finishing with a time 

of 4 minutes, 46.34 seconds. 

“I like to take out my first 

250 a little easy, get a feel 

for the water, and then I’ve 

just got to go,” Moussally 

said. “First I want to have a 

good stroke built in so that 

In know when I pick it up, 

I can keep good technique. 

Then I have to sprint and 

whatever pain comes, I just 

have to ignore it. 

“It was a good race. I 

was about ten seconds off 

my best but I definitely felt 

like I could have taken it 

out a little bit harder.” 

The Titans kicked off 

the meet with a win from 

the 200 medley relay 

team of Max Iida, Quinn 

Loughran, Matt Dale and 

Elliot Chen. With a time 

of 1:37.37, the foursome 

finished a mere 33 hundredths 

of a second ahead 

of the Spartans’ Ryan Purdy, 

Daniel Kaufman, Alexander 

Johnson, and Ilian 

Farbman. 

South also won the 200 

freestyle relay thanks to 

Zac Spalding, Mike Hadjiivanov, 

Kevin Becker, and 

Adam Zuiker. 

The junior Hadjiivanov 

also won the 50 free for 

GBS. 

“He’s a monster of a 

swimmer and he’s been 

swimming great,” Mac- 

Donald said. 

Glenbrook South boys swimmer Sami Moussally swims in his team's meet against 

Glenbrook North on Friday, Dec. 7, in Glenview. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

Loughran won the 100 

butterfly in 52.27, just 

five-hundredths of a second 

ahead of North’s Jake 

Shapiro. Chen won the 100 

freestyle and Iida won the 

100 breaststroke events. 

Loughram and Iida 

are sophomores who had 

great success last season. 

Loughran finished 11th 

in the 100 butterfly at the 

state finals as a freshman, 

and Iida placed 12th in the 

100 breaststroke. 

“They’re both back and 

they’re swimming great,” 

MacDonald said. “They 

haven’t really grown a lot 

(physically) since last year 

but in the water, they’re 

much farther ahead than 

they were as freshmen. 

The end of the year is going 

to be really exciting for 

those two.” 

Iida, Loughran, and 

returning junior Adam 

Zuiker were also part 

of the 200 medley relay 

that placed 12th at last 

year’s state finals. The junior 

Chen was on the 400 

freestyle relay team that 

placed eighth downstate 

two years ago. 

Glenbrook North senior 

Ryan Purdy won the 200 

individual medley, coming 

from behind finish 

in 1:53.61, just 27 hundredths 

of a second ahead 

of the Titans’ Iida. Purdy’s 

time was also roughly only 

three seconds off the Spartans’ 

program record in the 

200 IM. 

“He’s really competitive, 

which you saw in the 

IM when he raced down 

(Iida), who’s a really good 

IM’er,” Spartans coach Jarod 

Schroeder said. “I like 

those kinds of guys, who 

grit their teeth and just 

don’t want to get beat. 

“He’s a guy that used 

to play football and now 

he’s committed to swimming. 

He’s an athlete and 

he picks things up really 

quickly.” 

Purdy also won 100 

backstroke for the Spartans, 

while senior Ryan 

Cohn dominated the field 

in the 1 meter diving event, 

finishing with 257 points. 

“Our breaststrokers, 

Daniel Kaufman and Sam 

Shin, swam well and so 

did Jake Shapiro,” Schroeder 

said. “He went (personal) 

best in-season times 

in the 200 free and the 100 

fly today.” 

Kaufman was second 

and Shin third in the 100 

breaststroke, while Shapiro 

was second in the 100 

butterfly.
