Students spark interest about science at Visiting Scientist Program<br />
Alyssa Groh, Editor<br />
Reptiles, photosynthesis<br />
and machines were the<br />
buzz around Lake Forest<br />
School District 67 schools<br />
during the week of Jan. 15-<br />
23.<br />
Lake Forest School District<br />
67 teachers, the Association<br />
of Parents and<br />
Teachers and the Lake<br />
Forest Spirit of 67 Foundation<br />
have worked together<br />
the past four years to bring<br />
students the annual Visiting<br />
Scientist program.<br />
“This program was an<br />
idea from District 67 parents,<br />
Camille Stohlgren<br />
and Wiebke Droege, which<br />
was started four years ago.<br />
They thought it would be<br />
really cool to bring in an<br />
enrichment program in<br />
science and get the kids<br />
exposed to things outside<br />
of the curriculum,” said<br />
Julie Sakici, the executive<br />
Visiting Scientist co-chair,<br />
who serves alongside Julie<br />
Bloom.<br />
The idea for the program<br />
is to bring in a series<br />
of scientists to teach<br />
students about the variety<br />
of science used in the everyday<br />
world. And to do<br />
that, the schools welcome<br />
new scientists each year to<br />
bring fun, hands-on activities<br />
for students.<br />
This year, students in<br />
kindergarten through second<br />
grade attended an assembly<br />
put on by Marty<br />
Pants from Smarty Pants<br />
World. Pants presented<br />
a Mousetrap Machine to<br />
demonstrate five simple<br />
machines.<br />
Smarty Pants demonstrated<br />
the workings of the<br />
five simple machines using<br />
eye-popping oversized<br />
balloon sculptures. These<br />
simple balloon machines<br />
are linked together to create<br />
a more complex “Rube<br />
Third-graders Joshua Kim (left) and Grace Pruett get<br />
comfortable holding a snake.<br />
One of the visiting scientists, Marty Pants, talks to<br />
fourth-graders about photosynthesis.<br />
Goldberg-style” mousetrap,<br />
in order to catch a<br />
runaway mouse. By first<br />
demonstrating how each<br />
simple machine works,<br />
then showing how they<br />
can work together to form<br />
more complex structures,<br />
students learn first-hand<br />
how machines in their life<br />
are engineered to solve<br />
problems.<br />
In third grade, students<br />
spent time visiting with<br />
Reptomania representative<br />
Steve Schindler who<br />
talked to students about<br />
all things reptiles and<br />
amphibians. Students not<br />
only learned what makes<br />
these animals unique,<br />
where they live and how<br />
they survive, but they each<br />
had the opportunity to hold<br />
a variety of animals such<br />
as snakes, frogs, bearded<br />
dragons and more.<br />
Finally, in the fourth<br />
grade, students learned<br />
about photosynthesis<br />
from “Gravity” Greg Diblik<br />
from Mad Science of<br />
Northern Illinois.<br />
In this workshop students<br />
participated in a<br />
discussion of the structure<br />
of a plant (leaves,<br />
roots, stem) with the students<br />
drawing their own<br />
plant diagram. Students<br />
focused on the leaf and<br />
diagram, discussed the<br />
stomata, chloroplasts, and<br />
veins and how they use<br />
water, carbon dioxide and<br />
sunlight to make glucose.<br />
Using a molecule kit, the<br />
students worked in groups<br />
to build a glucose molecule.<br />
Groups also viewed<br />

different magnifications.<br />
Students took home their<br />
own pea plant to observe<br />
photosynthesis in action.<br />
Sakici said one of her<br />
favorite things about this<br />
enrichment program, is<br />
they teachers get to plan<br />
it and it offers hands-on<br />
learning for students.<br />
“This is a unique program<br />
in that our APT<br />
and teachers coordinate<br />
the program, but the program<br />
is sponsored by the<br />
Spirit of 67 financially,”<br />
Sakici said.<br />
She added the idea for<br />
the event is to broaden students<br />
knowledge of what<br />
science is and to hopefully<br />
get them “geeked about<br />
science.”

Amended historical preservation ordinance<br />
approved ‘to ensure public health’<br />
Stephanie Kim<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Applicants seeking<br />
a demolition permit in<br />
Lake Bluff will now need<br />
to provide a hazardous<br />
construction materials remediation<br />
plan — for asbestos,<br />
lead-based paint,<br />
creosote treated materials<br />
and underground storage<br />
tanks.<br />
This change comes after<br />
the Lake Bluff Village<br />
Board meeting Monday,<br />
Jan. 14, when the board of<br />
trustees unanimously approved<br />
an amendment to<br />
the Lake Bluff Municipal<br />
Code regarding historic<br />
preservation.<br />
The amended ordinance<br />
passed in a 6-0 vote, with<br />
trustee Barbara Ankenman<br />
recusing herself from<br />
the vote since she works<br />
for the property owner’s<br />
architecture of record.<br />
“The Village desires to<br />
promote the preservation<br />
of older homes, while ensuring<br />
that homeowners<br />
are provided flexibility<br />
to adapt all homes to the<br />
changing needs of families<br />
and the community,”<br />
saif Kathleen O’Hara, the<br />
Village Board president.<br />
The adopted ordinance<br />
also requires applicants<br />
seeking a demolition permit<br />
to submit a demolition<br />
schedule that will enable<br />
inspection of demolition<br />
activities when hazardous<br />
construction materials are<br />
believed or known to be<br />
disturbed, removed or remaining<br />
during construction.<br />
Round it up<br />
A brief recap of Village Board action on Monday, Jan. 14<br />
• The board passed a resolution approving a professional services agreement<br />
— not to exceed $24,500 — with Northbrook-based GovHR USA to complete<br />
a recruitment process for the next chief of police, following Lake Bluff Police<br />
Chief David Belmonte’s retirement announcement Dec. 27, 2018. Belmonte’s<br />
retirement is effective March 1, culminating to 31 years of police service.<br />
• Trustee Aaron Towle, chairman of the Beach Parking Ad Hoc Committee,<br />
updated the board on community feedback on initial parking regulations<br />
proposals, including parking stalls — which he said received negative feedback.<br />
However, he reported good progress related to the recommendation of<br />
restricting parking on the north, south streets.<br />
• The board approved the first reading of an ordinance amending Title I of the<br />
Municipal Code regarding the comprehensive fee schedule.<br />
“Including both requirements<br />
reflect industry best<br />
practices to ensure public<br />
health,” O’Hara added.<br />
Including this requirement<br />
not only reflects<br />
industry best practices to<br />
ensure public health, but<br />
also continues a practice<br />
that the Village had put in<br />
place for many years, according<br />
to Village Administrator<br />
Drew Irvin.<br />
“This is really codifying<br />
it and laying out with great<br />
specificity,” Irvin said.<br />
Irvin noted the adopted<br />
ordinance was based on<br />
feedback from the board<br />
and public, as well as additional<br />
research by staff<br />
and resident Ed Wynn,<br />
who gave a detailed presentation<br />
on the changes<br />
Monday night.<br />
Overall, the board reiterated<br />
that the proposed<br />
amendments were recommended<br />
to make the<br />
process for designating<br />
a property as a landmark<br />
more efficient and to add<br />
additional clarity to the<br />
Lake Bluff Municipal<br />
Code.<br />
The board first adopted<br />
the Village’s Historic<br />
Preservation in 2001, as<br />
an ordinance that amended<br />
the Lake Bluff Municipal<br />
Code to provide a set<br />
of regulations for the designation<br />
and protection of<br />
landmarks.<br />
Since then, the Historical<br />
Preservation Ordinance<br />
has been amended<br />
several times.<br />
“Balancing what we<br />
consider preservation and<br />
what we consider property<br />
rights — I think we’re<br />
going to have a discussion<br />
on that or a workshop on<br />
that …,” O’Hara said.<br />
The board also unanimously<br />
approved the first<br />
reading of ordinances<br />
amending the Lake Bluff<br />
zoning regulations to create<br />
a recreational, institutional<br />
and open space<br />
(RIO) district, the zoning<br />
map of Lake Bluff and rezoning<br />
properties into the<br />
RIO district and the RIO<br />
district fees.<br />
Glen Cole, assistant to<br />
the village administrator,<br />
said these three ordinances<br />
are necessary to<br />
implement the RIO district<br />
to address the unique<br />
considerations of public,<br />
community and governmental<br />
functions.<br />
The Plan Commission<br />
and Zoning Board of Appeals<br />
unanimously recommended<br />
the Village Board<br />
establish a new zoning<br />
district, after studying<br />
recreational, institutional,<br />
and open space uses<br />
within the Village since<br />
January of 2017 as recommended<br />
by the 1997 Comprehensive<br />
Plan.<br />
The board will revisit<br />
the three ordinances for a<br />
second reading at its next<br />
meeting on Monday, Jan.<br />
28.<br />

Lake Bluff Library Board<br />
Library debates proposed budget<br />
Neil Milbert<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Lake Bluff Library Director<br />
Eric Bailey presented<br />
a rough draft of the proposed<br />
$1,064,697 budget<br />
for fiscal year 2019-20 at<br />
the Tuesday, Jan. 15 meeting<br />
of the Board of Library<br />
Trustees.<br />
Property taxes are projected<br />
to account for<br />
$964,117 of the estimated<br />
$1,014,597 in revenue.<br />
Fines are forfeitures are<br />
expected to total $10,500,<br />
service charges $17,100<br />
and revenue from other<br />
sources $22,800.<br />
Proposed staff salary budgets<br />
amount to $505,000<br />
versus the $520,000 budgeted<br />
in fiscal year 2018-19.<br />
Changes in staffing and staff<br />
turnover are the reasons for<br />
the decrease.<br />
Insurance costs increased<br />
significantly. Costs were<br />
higher than expected and<br />
another increase is projected,<br />
so a total of $87,000 is<br />
budgeted, which is $9,000<br />
more than the estimated<br />
outlay during the current<br />
fiscal year.<br />
A total of $38,000 is budgeted<br />
for both the Social<br />
Security and the Illinois<br />
Municipal Retirement Fund<br />
(IMRF). The IMRF contribution<br />
represents a 5.3<br />
percent increase, while the<br />
Social Security contribution<br />
represents a decrease of 2.6<br />
percent from the estimated<br />
totals for 2018-19.<br />
Bailey said the main<br />
capital outlays will be<br />
$25,000 for resurfacing the<br />
parking lot and $25,000 for<br />
replacing staff and public<br />

computers. Funds for both<br />
expenditures have been<br />
budgeted from reserves.<br />
Trustee Tim Kregor suggested<br />
deferring one of<br />
these undertakings until the<br />
next fiscal year because of<br />
the relatively large amounts<br />
of money required for each.<br />
If the Trustees decide to<br />
do that, Bailey explained<br />
that replacing the computers<br />
is the highest priority<br />
because tech support for<br />
Windows 7 is ending in<br />
2020 and most of the current<br />
computers do not support<br />
Windows 10.<br />
Martha O’Hara, the head<br />
of Adult Services, told<br />
the Trustees “a number of<br />
computers take 15-20 minutes<br />
to boot up.”<br />

Chase opens new branch in Lake Forest at former McDonald’s site<br />
Submitted by Chase Bank<br />
Chase bank has opened<br />
a branch in Lake Forest,<br />
adjacent to the Lake Forest<br />
Metra station. The branch<br />
features personal service as<br />
well as innovative technology<br />
to serve consumers and<br />
businesses.<br />
“We’re excited to expand<br />
into west Lake Forest to<br />
make banking more convenient<br />
for our clients and future<br />
clients,” said Francisco<br />
Hinojosa, who manages<br />
the new branch at 884 S.<br />
Waukegan Road. “Strong,<br />
growing communities are<br />
critical to our success and<br />
we look forward to working<br />
with the village’s clients<br />
and businesses to help<br />
them achieve their financial<br />
goals.”<br />
Local officials, business<br />
leaders and area Chase executives<br />
celebrated a ribbon<br />
cutting on Jan. 12, which<br />
featured refreshments and<br />
giveaways for kids, including<br />
coloring books and<br />
mini Chase piggy banks.<br />
The new location complements<br />
Chase’s longtime<br />
branch at 300 Illinois<br />
Road in downtown Lake<br />
Forest and 965 Rockland<br />
Road in nearby Lake Bluff.<br />
The bank hired locally for<br />
personal bankers, financial<br />
advisors and home lending<br />
and business banking<br />
specialists. The branch also<br />
features a digital access<br />
bar, Chase Private Client<br />
offices, teller services, a<br />
drive-up ATM, three additional<br />
ATMs, and a night<br />
depository.<br />
“We have a business<br />
banking specialist at the<br />
branch because we know<br />
the vibrancy of Lake Forest’s<br />
local business community,”<br />
Hinojosa said.<br />
“We provided $1.3 billion<br />
of new credit to small businesses<br />
in Illinois last year<br />
– and nearly $22 billion<br />
throughout the country.”<br />
JPMorgan Chase is the<br />
largest bank in Illinois, employing<br />
more than 14,000<br />
people with more than 6.3<br />
million consumer clients,<br />
470,000 business clients,<br />
and 300 branches. In Illinois<br />
last year JP Morgan<br />
Chase contributed more<br />
than $12.1 million to 131<br />
nonprofit organizations.<br />

for both rooftop solar and<br />
Community Solar, where<br />
interested customers help<br />

in municipal processes<br />
and finance, and the<br />
many facets that comprise<br />
a healthy, thriving community<br />
such as Lake Forest.”<br />

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK<br />
City Council approves<br />
$80K arch for city’s 150th<br />
birthday<br />
Residents passing by the<br />
corner park at Deerfield<br />
Road, Hickory Street and<br />
Laurel Avenue can look<br />
forward to a 24-feet-wide<br />
and 8-feet-tall archway this<br />
fall.<br />
The sculpture, and the<br />
location celebrating Highland<br />
Park’s 150th birthday,<br />
received a unanimous<br />
green light from the City<br />
Council at its Monday, Jan.<br />
14, meeting.<br />
Michael Szabo’s piece<br />
received approval over<br />
28 other hopeful artists<br />
looking to make a lasting<br />
imprint on the city. Contestants<br />
submitted their<br />
proposals last fall and four<br />
finalists were chosen by<br />
the Cultural Arts Advisory<br />
Group of the Cultural Arts<br />
Commission.<br />
Szabo’s sculpture, an<br />
arch from one angle and a<br />
ribbon from another, will<br />
be made of stainless steel<br />
and patinated bronze, and<br />
can be viewed on the city’s<br />
website. The three other<br />
sculptures were a 23-foottall<br />
ribbon, an inclusion<br />
of native birds and a trailmarker<br />
tree. After extensive<br />
input from the community<br />
and phone interviews with<br />
the four finalists, the advisory<br />
group recommended<br />
Szabo’s submission.<br />
“We were moved by<br />
the elegant aesthetic of<br />
the work, the fluid form<br />
... and the artist’s idea of<br />
work that evokes a gateway<br />
to the community of<br />
Highland Park and the next<br />
150 years,” said Cathy<br />
Ricciardelli, the advisory<br />
board’s chair.<br />
The $80,000 sculpture is<br />
planned to be installed in<br />
September, and its acquisition<br />
and installation costs<br />
will be paid for by the city’s<br />
public art fund. Currently,<br />
the fund has approximately<br />
$82,000, which the City<br />
Council can approve for<br />
expenditures not within the<br />
city’s budget because it has<br />
already been appropriated<br />
for art purchases, according<br />
to Assistant City Manager<br />
Rob Sabo.<br />

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER<br />
No injuries reported after<br />
early-morning fire<br />
Northbrook firefighters<br />
responded to reports<br />
of an explosion and fire in<br />
the 2500 block of Melanie<br />
Lane in Northbrook at approximately<br />
6:20 a.m. the<br />
morning of Jan. 16, according<br />
to Northbrook Fire<br />
Chief Andrew Carlson.<br />
Carlson told The Tower<br />
an off-duty firefighter on<br />
his way into work was the<br />
first one on the block. The<br />
first Northbrook fire truck<br />
was on the scene eight<br />
minutes after the department<br />
received a call from a<br />
neighbor around 6:20 a.m.,<br />
per Carlson.<br />
Carlson said the fire was<br />
already starting to extend<br />
on both sides of the house<br />
when crews arrived.<br />
“The houses on this<br />
street are about 20-30 feet<br />
apart, so the first house was<br />
almost entirely engulfed in<br />
fire pretty quickly, so when<br />
the first fire truck got here,<br />
it was already extending to<br />
the house on either side,”<br />
Carlson said.<br />
Carlson said the department<br />
made sure the occupants<br />
of the original home<br />
and the occupants of the<br />
neighboring homes exited<br />
safely. The residents were<br />
able to get out on their own,<br />
according to Carlson.<br />
No residents or firefighters<br />
sustained any injuries,<br />
per Carlson.<br />
The exact cause of the<br />
explosion and subsequent<br />
fire remains under investigation.<br />

Letters to the Editor<br />
Vote for JoAnn Desmond,<br />
Independent Candidate for<br />
Third Ward Alderman<br />
I first became acquainted<br />
with JoAnn Desmond<br />
when I attended a Community<br />
Forum about a<br />
proposed Third Rail Holding<br />
Track for West Lake<br />
Forest. She was President<br />
of ACTION (Alliance to<br />
Control Trains Impacts<br />
on Our Neighborhoods)<br />
at that time and provided<br />
a well-researched presentation<br />
on the history and<br />
negative ramifications of<br />
the proposition on our<br />
community.<br />
As a Doctor of Audiology,<br />
I became one of a number<br />
of featured speakers at<br />
the subsequent Community<br />
Forum presenting on the<br />
negative auditory and vestibular<br />
ramifications of a<br />
freight train holding track<br />
on local residents.<br />
She and I have worked<br />
together since that time.<br />
I have found JoAnn<br />
to be a vigilant sentry of<br />
Lake Forest community<br />
values. She has attended<br />
(and spoken at) innumerable<br />
City Council meetings<br />
and has read volumes of<br />
FOIA (Freedom of Information<br />
Act) documents-<br />
-painstakingly tracking<br />
how this proposed happening<br />
evolved over time.<br />
She also was a vocal foe<br />
sold in Chicago. Joseph<br />
Field moved to Manchester,<br />
England and in 1875<br />
his son Stanley Field was<br />
born. At age 18, Stanley<br />
moved to Chicago and<br />
became a $5 per week<br />
messenger boy working<br />
for his uncle Marshall<br />
Field.<br />
Stanley Field would<br />
spend the next 70 years<br />
working for Marshall Field<br />
and Company as the business<br />
grew to become the<br />
largest dry goods business<br />
in the world. Stanley Field<br />
later served as vice president,<br />
director and finally<br />
chairman of the executive<br />
committee. Stanley<br />
married Sara Brown and<br />
the couple would raise<br />
three children – Katherine,<br />
Daphne and Joseph II.<br />
Stanley and Sara Field<br />
bought 33 acres in Lake<br />
Bluff along the shores<br />
of Lake Michigan. They<br />
hired the firm of Daniel<br />
Burnham and in 1909<br />
of the proposed large car<br />
wash at Waukegan and<br />
Everett Roads.<br />
Dr. Desmond is intelligent,<br />
articulate, highly<br />
ethical and tenacious. She<br />
will be a well-informed<br />
and responsive representative<br />
on our City Council.<br />
In her role as Third Ward<br />
Alderman, she will apply<br />
the same finely honed<br />
skill set that she developed<br />
as an award-winning<br />
Superintendent of Schools<br />
for Highland Park, Highwood,<br />
and Bannockburn.<br />
I recommend her without<br />
reservation.<br />
Linda Remensnyder,<br />
Third Ward Resident<br />
built a grand home situated<br />
at the end of a long<br />
tree lined street (today<br />
Lakeland Drive). In 1911,<br />
Stanley’s cousin Frances<br />
and her husband Albert<br />
Sprague purchased property<br />
immediately to the<br />
south and built a home at<br />
the end of what today is<br />
Forest Cove Road.<br />
In 1922 daughter<br />
Katherine Field married<br />
Clifford Rodman and the<br />
couple made their home at<br />
370 Moffett Road in Lake<br />
Bluff. Clifford co-founded<br />
Rodman and Renshaw Securities.<br />
Daphne Field and<br />
husband James Cook and<br />
lived at 361 Moffett Road<br />
next to her sister Katherine<br />
and a short distance<br />
from her parent’s home on<br />
Lakeland.<br />
Stanley Field died in<br />
1965 and the home was<br />
demolished in 1967.<br />
However, the allee of trees<br />

And while I cannot<br />
win this contest, I<br />
thought I would share<br />
my love story with you<br />
all, too.<br />
I am still young, and<br />
am not married yet, but I<br />
still love to tell my love<br />
story.<br />
I met my boyfriend<br />
Brian on the first night of<br />
college at Illinois State<br />
University in August of<br />
2012.<br />
Each of us were walking<br />
around outside of<br />
our dorm with some new<br />
friends we had just met.<br />
We all joined in for a fun<br />
game of sand volleyball.<br />
I like to say that my<br />
terrible sand volleyball<br />
skills impressed him, but<br />
he begs to differ.<br />
We spent a few weeks<br />
just being friends and were<br />
always hanging out and<br />
going to dinner together.<br />
At the time, we both<br />
thought it was just two<br />
friends going to dinner,<br />
but now I look back and<br />
realize the hours-long dinners<br />
were dates. We would<br />
sit at dinner for more than<br />
two hours talking non stop,<br />
learning about one another<br />
and each other’s families.<br />
I remember thinking then,<br />
that he was special and I<br />
wanted to pursue a relationship<br />
with him.<br />
Over winter break<br />
freshman year, the two<br />
of us went snowboarding<br />
together in Wisconsin<br />
and soon after decided<br />
our friendship was more<br />
than friends, it was a<br />
relationship.<br />
Since then we have<br />
spent holidays together,<br />
attended concerts, traveled<br />
around the world<br />
and now live together in<br />
Chicago.<br />
I have been blessed<br />
to have gone through<br />
college with him and am<br />
blessed to continue to go<br />
go figure<br />
3<br />
through life together. I<br />
cannot wait to see what<br />
else is in store for us.<br />

or Lake Bluff resident<br />

Storyteller talks<br />
about social justice<br />
Alyssa Groh, Editor<br />
Mama Edie Armstrong, an international storyteller,<br />
shared stories of how she has and continues to fight<br />
for justice at the Martin Luther King Day assembly Friday,<br />
Jan. 18 at Lake Forest Country Day School. Alyssa<br />
Groh/22nd Century Media<br />
Storyteller Mama Edie<br />
Armstrong always begins<br />
her presentations with a<br />
welcome song, and she did<br />
just that during her speech<br />
at the Martin Luther King<br />
Day assembly Friday, Jan.<br />
18 at Lake Forest Country<br />
Day School.<br />
“I normally open my<br />
programs with a welcome<br />
song because I feel it is important<br />
for people to feel<br />
welcome where they are,”<br />
Armstrong said. “When I<br />
was a kid it wasn’t easy to<br />
always feel welcome wherever<br />
you are. In fact, even<br />
today sometimes I don’t<br />
feel quite welcome where<br />
I am.<br />
“In the spirit of recognizing<br />
the power of our<br />
words, you see the power<br />
of impact Dr. Kings words<br />
had. It helped motivate and<br />
move a movement. It effected<br />
changes in law, not<br />
only in national law but in<br />
international law.”<br />
Armstrong went on to<br />
tell students at <strong>LF</strong>CDS<br />
when she was 15 years old,<br />
she marched with Dr. King<br />
at Marquette Park in Chicago<br />
in 1966.<br />
In 1966 she got on a<br />
bus with her school in the<br />
south side of Chicago and<br />
drove to Marquette Park.<br />
She remembers talking to<br />
her friends on the bus, but<br />
as they got closer to the<br />
march, she could hear the<br />
loud noises of protesting.<br />
“Suddenly we started<br />
to hear sounds of a crowd<br />
that became a roar in our<br />
ears,” Armstrong said.<br />
“We had never heard such<br />
loud shouting and screaming,<br />
hearing people calling<br />
out. There were people<br />
who were being hit by flying<br />
rocks and bottles were<br />
breaking, and yet we were<br />
on the bus getting ready to<br />
get off.”<br />
She said while she and<br />
all of her friends were<br />
scared, they knew it was<br />
their turn to fight for justice<br />
as their ancestors had previously<br />
done.<br />
When she got off the bus,<br />
she was approached by a<br />
woman and her young son.<br />
The woman started cursing<br />
at her and calling her every<br />
name in the book — eventually<br />
her young son joined<br />
in.<br />
“I was so stunned I<br />
couldn’t even speak. A nun<br />
came back and grabbed<br />
me,” she said. “Then, I<br />
saw Dr. King up ahead and<br />
started feeling better. These<br />
loud sounds, screams and<br />
curses felt like a Christian<br />
walking toward a lion’s<br />
den. I started hearing another<br />
kind of sound coming<br />
from the front of the<br />
crowd. It was signing ‘We<br />
Shall Overcome.’ I knew<br />
then, that on some level we<br />
had overcome. We had at<br />
least overcome our fear of<br />
not getting off that bus, of<br />
knowing we needed to do<br />
whatever we needed to do<br />
to stand up for justice.”<br />
Armstrong also noted<br />
that she not only marched<br />
for justice in the ’60s but<br />
is still marching today.<br />
In November of 2017 she<br />
was invited on an international<br />
peace conference in<br />
Iraq. And while she was<br />
there, a special celebration<br />
called Arba’een was taking<br />
place. The people of Iraq<br />
participate in a march to<br />
celebrate the life of a man<br />
who gave his life as Dr.<br />
King did.<br />
“These people march 50<br />
miles to demonstrate their<br />
love and determination for<br />
patience and to continue to<br />
strive for justice for everyone,”<br />
Armstrong said.<br />
She left students with a<br />
few words of advice.<br />
“Remember, you don’t<br />
have to be in a march, you<br />
don’t have to be on TV or<br />
get into the newspapers.<br />
There are things all of us<br />
can do to stand up for justice,”<br />
Armstrong said.

In Memoriam<br />
Peter Roy Carney<br />
After a<br />
brief illness,<br />
Peter Roy<br />
Carney, a<br />
former Lake Carney<br />
Forest Academy<br />
student, died peacefully<br />
on Jan. 11, in Vero<br />
Beach, Fla.<br />
Carney was a patriot<br />
born on July 5, 1931, in<br />
Chicago to Marie Murphy<br />
and William Roy Carney.<br />
He was the grandson of<br />
William James Carney who<br />
started Superior Graphite<br />
Company where Carney<br />
would make a significant<br />
lifelong career. Carney was<br />
an entrepreneur, writer,<br />
businessman, polo player,<br />
rancher, hunter and a true<br />
sportsman who enjoyed<br />
skiing, fly fishing, tennis<br />
and golf.<br />
He attended Lake Forest<br />
Academy until a fire shut<br />
it down temporarily. He<br />
transferred and graduated<br />
from Canterbury School<br />
(1949) in New Milford, CT<br />
and later from Princeton<br />
University (1953) where he<br />
discovered his love for geology<br />
and was president of<br />
Cap and Gown.<br />
He joined the army in<br />
1953 and served and rose<br />
to First Lieutenant Executive<br />
Officer in the C Battery<br />
of the 97th Field Artillery<br />
Battalion at Fort Carson<br />
in Colorado Springs, CO<br />
until 1955. After his service,<br />
he was an investment<br />
analyst for Glore Forgan in<br />
Chicago before moving to<br />
Denver as a staff geologist<br />
for E.A. Polumbus & Associates.<br />
He married Marina<br />
Galitzine in 1957, and after<br />
living in Denver for two<br />
years, he returned to Illinois<br />
to run Superior Graphite<br />
Company. His storied and<br />
illustrious career spanned<br />
over 50 years and transformed<br />
a sleepy graphite<br />
company into an industry<br />
leader by co-inventing an<br />
innovative continuous carbon<br />
purification process.<br />
Carney served on the<br />
board of Carney Management<br />
LLC, the Foundry<br />
Education Foundation,<br />
the Illinois Manufacturers<br />
Association, Lake Forest<br />
Caucus, Lake Forest Open<br />
Lands, Lake Forest Symphony,<br />
Museum of Science<br />
and Industry (Chicago),<br />
and the Wyoming Chapter<br />
of the Nature Conservancy.<br />
He was a member of YPO<br />
and later WBC/WPO/YPO<br />
Gold where he served as<br />
president, and created a<br />
model forum, which generated<br />
intentional, committed<br />
friendships. Peter was<br />
also a past president of the<br />
Black Butte Gas Company,<br />
Carney Ranch Company,<br />
Casting Industry Suppliers<br />
Association (CISA), as<br />
well as for the CISA Export<br />
Trade Group, and Graphite<br />
Synthesis. He was a consultant<br />
for the United Nations<br />
Office of Technical<br />
Cooperation (India), and a<br />
past executive committee<br />
member of the Business<br />
Industry Political Action<br />
Committee (BIPAC). He<br />
was a lifelong member of<br />
the Coleman Lake Club<br />
where he also served as<br />
president. Additionally,<br />
he served on the board<br />
for Lake Forest Academy,<br />
Canterbury School, Onwentsia<br />
Club, the Chicago<br />
Club, and was a lifetime<br />
member of the Commercial<br />
Club of Chicago.<br />
He was a man of faith,<br />
integrity, and stewardship,<br />
and was deeply loved by<br />
friends, family, and anyone<br />
with whom he came in<br />
contact. He had a brilliant<br />
mind, quick wit, a mischievous<br />
eye, and an easy<br />
laugh. He considered his<br />
family one of his greatest<br />
accomplishments, where<br />
he stood as the prominent<br />
pillar and moral compass.<br />
He is survived by his<br />
loving wife of 61 years,<br />
Marina Galitzine Carney<br />
of Vero Beach, Fla., four<br />
children: Marina Carney<br />
Puryear (Jim) of Illinois,<br />

Grandpa’s Place still growing after 122 years<br />
Jason Addy<br />
Contributing Editor<br />
When the Middletons<br />
purchased Grandpa’s Place<br />
in 2003, the family immediately<br />
got down to work<br />
modernizing the 106-yearold<br />
fixture of Glenview’s<br />
culinary scene.<br />
They updated the original<br />
bar area, redid the<br />
walls, added modern<br />
touches and built a small<br />
parlor inside to open up<br />
some elbow room and<br />
create a space to host live<br />
music, said Rory Middleton,<br />
who runs day-to-day<br />
operations at Grandpa’s<br />
with his brother, Kevin, on<br />
behalf of the family.<br />
Middleton said his family<br />
first started looking into<br />
purchasing the property at<br />
1868 Prairie St. around<br />
the turn of the century,<br />
“but the original owner<br />
wouldn’t sell it without the<br />
business,” which started<br />
as Lang’s before becoming<br />
Grandpa Rugen’s and<br />
finally Grandpa’s once the<br />
Dwyer family moved in<br />
nearly 50 years ago.<br />
A decade after taking<br />
over from the Dwyers, the<br />
Middletons completed a<br />
major expansion project at<br />
Grandpa’s, adding a downstairs<br />
room for live music<br />
and private catering, converting<br />
what was once an<br />
off-track betting room and<br />
apartments into an upscale<br />
space to host corporate and<br />
family events, and opening<br />
a patio and second-floor<br />
terrace for patrons to enjoy<br />
in the milder months.<br />
Though Grandpa’s had<br />
more than a century of<br />
success under its belt by<br />
that point, the expansion is<br />
breathing new life into the<br />
restaurant and bar by giving<br />
it a unique “something<br />
old, something new vibe,”<br />
Middleton said.<br />
“We wanted it to be a<br />

the menu. Photos by Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media<br />
The Grandpa Burger ($11.90) is a half-pound burger served on a toasted bun with a<br />
choice of traditional toppings.<br />
place where your parents<br />
can go and remember their<br />
time when they were your<br />
age at this bar — because<br />
it’s that old, it has that<br />
much history — but at<br />
the same time make new<br />
memories for the new generation<br />
of people that are<br />
coming in to continue that<br />
legacy,” Middleton said.<br />
Though the Middletons<br />
have drastically revamped<br />
the establishment that first<br />
opened in the late 1890s,<br />
they’ve been careful not<br />
to change the tried-andtrue<br />
recipe for success too<br />
much.<br />
Grandpa’s menu “has<br />
grown with age,” Middleton<br />
said, with the menu<br />
featuring bar-food staples<br />
like burgers, sandwiches<br />
and wings, as well as some<br />
newer dishes like chicken<br />
kabobs and calamari.<br />
“It’s always a matter<br />
of keeping it local, keeping<br />
that sense of history,<br />
while always keeping it<br />
relevant,” Middleton said,<br />
noting Grandpa’s gets<br />
much of its ingredients<br />
from local shops and producers<br />
like Reagan Meats<br />
and Harrison’s Poultry<br />
Farm in Glenview, Gonnella<br />
Baking Company<br />
in Schaumburg and Harrington’s<br />
Catering and<br />
Deli in Chicago.<br />
A group of 22nd Century<br />
Media editors stopped<br />
by Grandpa’s last week to<br />
try out some classics and a<br />
few “sleeper” dishes flying<br />
a bit under the radar.<br />
After a tour of Grandpa’s<br />
many versatile spaces,<br />
we tried calamari ($13.95<br />
for full serving), a dish<br />
Middleton said people always<br />
order again after trying<br />
it once.<br />
“(The calamari) is better<br />
than it has any right to be,”<br />
Middleton joked, adding<br />
many of the restaurant’s<br />
recipes are something of<br />
a mystery as they’ve been<br />
handed down across the<br />
generations.<br />
The simple appetizer<br />
dish of lightly breaded<br />
squid is served with cocktail<br />
sauce and lemons to<br />
add a little zest.<br />
Next, we sampled the<br />
classic Grandpa Burger<br />
($11.90), a half-pound<br />
burger served with Merkts<br />
cheddar cheese and traditional<br />
toppings on a toasted<br />
bun, with a side of fries.<br />
Grandpa’s Reuben sandwich<br />
($12.95) pairs Harrington’s<br />
corned beef with<br />
homemade Thousand Island<br />
dressing, sauerkraut<br />
and Swiss cheese on rye<br />
bread.<br />
To cap off the meal, we<br />
tried Grandpa’s chicken<br />
kabobs, featuring two footlong<br />
skewers loaded with<br />
grilled chicken, onions,<br />
peppers and tomatoes over<br />
a bed of rice pilaf with a<br />
homemade peanut dressing<br />
on the side.

What is your favorite<br />
part about dancing?<br />
My favorite part is probably<br />
the team. We are all<br />
very close; they are my<br />
best friends. I am with<br />
them more than my family<br />
during the season. We are<br />
all very funny, make jokes<br />
and have a lot of fun.<br />
What is the most<br />
challenging part?<br />
I would say it is very<br />
athletic and it takes a lot of<br />
work out of every muscle<br />
in your body because you<br />
are moving around and<br />
using every single part of<br />
your body. We will run a<br />
dance multiple times in a<br />
row which is very strenuous<br />
on the body.<br />
Do you have any<br />
rituals or superstitions<br />
before a performance?<br />
As a team we all stand<br />
in a circle and the captains<br />
say things to get us<br />
pumped, we take deep<br />
breaths and then we listen<br />
to the music we are going<br />
perform.<br />
What is an item on<br />
your bucket list?<br />
I would say an item on<br />
my bucket list is to win<br />
nationals with my team in<br />
Orlando, Fla.<br />
What is your favorite<br />
memory of being on<br />
the Lake Forest High<br />
School dance team?<br />
My favorite memory<br />
was when I made the team<br />
for the first time my freshman<br />
year. We all started<br />
jumping up and down together.<br />
I had no idea what<br />
a special team I had just<br />
gotten on.<br />
If you could have any<br />
superpower what<br />
would it be?<br />
I would want to be able<br />
to teleport because I could<br />
get places a lot faster without<br />
having to walk or drive.<br />
photo Submitted<br />
What are you going to<br />
miss the most about<br />
dancing at <strong>LF</strong>HS?<br />
I will miss the late night<br />
practices where we are<br />
getting a little delirious,<br />
but we are all working together<br />
having fun and being<br />
a team.<br />
What is the best<br />
coaching advice you<br />
have ever received?<br />
Don’t dance until you<br />
get it right; dance until you<br />
never get it wrong.<br />
What is something<br />
most people might not<br />
know about you?<br />

The calendar year has<br />
turned to 2019, but 2018<br />
isn’t done with you just<br />
yet.<br />
On fields of play all over<br />
the North Shore last year,<br />
student-athletes soared to<br />
new heights, and in many<br />
cases, took their teams<br />
along for the ride. 22nd<br />
Century Media was following<br />
the action with its<br />
seven North Shore publications<br />
and websites,<br />
documenting the moments<br />
of glory as well as the agonies<br />
in defeat.<br />
Every week, each paper,<br />
including The Lake Forest<br />
Leader, selected and interviewed<br />
a worthy Athlete<br />
of the Week. Then, at the<br />
end of every month, all the<br />
Athletes of the Week were<br />
pitted against one another<br />
in the popular Athlete of<br />
the Month competition, for<br />
which residents decide the<br />
result by voting for their<br />
favorite athlete online.<br />
At year’s end, there are<br />
12 winners, and we’re not<br />
done just yet. Those 12<br />
— along with six at-large<br />
contenders selected by<br />
22CM staffers — will vie<br />
for the ultimate title: 22nd<br />
Century Media Athlete of<br />
the Year.<br />
Of those at-large contenders,<br />
is Lake Forest<br />
High School basketball<br />
star Halle Douglass.<br />
The Athlete of the Year<br />
competition is a two-week<br />
voting contest that began<br />
at noon Saturday, Jan. 26,<br />

Scouts’ early momentum not enough to conquer NT White<br />
David Jaffe<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Lake Forest seemingly<br />
had control over New Trier<br />
White for a majority of a<br />
Jan. 16 conference bout,<br />
but looks can be deceiving.<br />
A late push by New Trier<br />
helped it topple a threegoal<br />
deficit to Lake Forest<br />
for a 4-3 victory at the<br />
Winnetka Ice Arena.<br />
With a division title at<br />
stake, it was a tough one to<br />
swallow for the Scouts.<br />
“The kids really wanted<br />
to win,” Lake Forest coach<br />
Steve Sarauer said. “This<br />
was the hardest I’ve seen<br />
the kids play as a team this<br />
season. They really wanted<br />
this one and it hurts considering<br />
how we started<br />
the game.”<br />
Lake Forest’s Sam Sheffield<br />
scored 20 seconds<br />
into the game. Carter<br />
Blake increased the advantage<br />
to 2-0 with just over<br />
eight minutes left in the<br />
first, and Griffin Slobodnik<br />
extended the lead to<br />
three goals less than two<br />
minutes into the second<br />
period.<br />
When the third period<br />
Hunter C. Heltman brings the puck down the ice.<br />
began, it appeared fatigue<br />
was setting in for the Trevians,<br />
but they overcame it<br />
to score two more goals in<br />
the third period.<br />
Ryan O’Rourke scored<br />
the game-winning goal in<br />
front of the net with three<br />
minutes left to complete<br />
New Trier’s comeback<br />
The Trevians showed<br />
what they were made of<br />
staying poised and not<br />
panicking despite their<br />
early struggles.<br />
“I think we’re a team<br />
that plays with a lot of<br />
energy even when we’re<br />
down,” O’Rourke said. “I<br />
think we demonstrated that<br />
today. We came together<br />
and fought through the adversity<br />
as a team.”<br />
New Trier took advantage<br />
of two power plays in<br />
the period.<br />
“We gave up two penalties<br />
in that period,” Sarauer<br />
said. “We gave up two<br />
shorthanded goals as a result<br />
and it ended up costing<br />
us.”<br />
O’Rourke said New Trier<br />
practices for comebacks<br />
like this.<br />
“That involved a lot<br />

of puck movement,”<br />
O’Rourke said of his goal.<br />
“We have plays set up for<br />
this type of situation that<br />
we practice over and over<br />
again. So we were very<br />
comfortable with what to<br />
do that late in the game<br />
when it’s close.”<br />
Although New Trier got<br />
off to a slow start on the<br />
scoreboard, they were getting<br />
plenty of opportunities<br />
early on that they were<br />
unable to convert. But that<br />
changed when Johnny<br />
Hackett put the Trevians<br />
on the board with nine<br />
minutes left in the second.<br />
It took less than a minute<br />
for them to score again<br />
as Trevor Jones tipped in a<br />
shot making it 3-2.<br />
“When we got those<br />
back-to-back goals, it<br />
energized the bench and<br />
everyone on the team,”<br />
O’Rourke said. “We knew<br />
we had good looks at the<br />
net. It gave us a chance<br />
when we were able to convert<br />
a couple.”<br />
New Trier had expended<br />
a lot of energy getting<br />
back in the game and<br />
Lake Forest seemed to be<br />
controlling things early<br />
in the third period. But<br />
the Trevians flipped the<br />
script again when Hackett<br />
scored his second goal<br />
tying the game with 6:30<br />
remaining.<br />
“We knew how important<br />
this game was,”<br />
O’Rourke said. “If we<br />
won, we’d probably win<br />
the division. That’s something<br />
we kept thinking<br />
about and allowed us to<br />
push through being tired.”<br />

The Scouts finished<br />
third at state each of the<br />
last two years. Last season,<br />
Lake Forest scored a 94.12<br />
to place behind Geneva<br />
(94.94) and Lake Zurich<br />
(95.38).<br />
Geneva, which has four<br />
state championships, won<br />
its sectional with a score<br />
of 93.00, and Lake Zurich<br />
recorded a 90.5 to win the<br />
Huntley Sectional.<br />

second in 2013, the first<br />

dance competitions.<br />

on Jan. 17<br />
The Lake Forest Academy<br />
girls basketball team<br />
had a clear size advantage<br />
in its matchup Thursday,<br />
Jan. 17, with visiting Regina<br />
Dominican.<br />
And although the Caxys<br />
struggled for much of the<br />
game to convert their opportunities,<br />
they continued<br />
getting the ball into the<br />
paint and to the free-throw<br />
line.<br />
Eventually that consistent<br />
low-post pressure paid<br />
off as the Caxys knocked<br />
off the Panthers, 44-30.<br />
For almost three quarters,<br />
it was a tight contest,<br />
but the Caxys scored the<br />
final five points of the first<br />
quarter, part of an eventual<br />
9-0 run.<br />
The run increased a 23-<br />
21 advantage to 32-21,<br />
giving <strong>LF</strong>A control for<br />
good. Rama Keita scored<br />
four points during that<br />
stretch along with Kelsi<br />
Jackson’s three-point play<br />
and Courtney Harris’ layup.<br />
The Caxys then sealed<br />
the deal with six straight<br />
points, extending the lead<br />
to 41-25 with Keita scoring<br />
four more points and<br />
Jackson converting a layup.<br />
“We started playing with<br />
more energy,” said Keita,<br />
who had a game-high 16<br />
points. “We started talking<br />
more and did a better<br />
Courtney Harris puts up a shot attempt through contact<br />
in the Caxys’ victory over Regina.<br />
job moving the ball. That<br />
allowed us to convert on<br />
a couple of plays and turn<br />
things around.”<br />
For <strong>LF</strong>A coach Erica<br />
Wood, patience paired<br />
with the energy.<br />
“We played with much<br />
more patience on the offensive<br />
end,” Wood said.<br />
“In the first half, we were<br />
forcing up too many shots.<br />
We did a better job of waiting<br />
for better opportunities<br />
to open up and passed the<br />
ball effectively, giving us<br />
better looks.”<br />
The Caxys continually<br />
got to the rim and thus, the<br />
charity stripe, attempting<br />
26 free throws and getting<br />
into the bonus in the first<br />
quarter.<br />
But they only shot 50<br />
percent from the line and<br />
couldn’t convert a number<br />
of shot opportunities in<br />
close.<br />
As a result, Regina took<br />
an early lead when Lola<br />
Simon buried three treys<br />
for a 9-5 advantage.<br />
The Caxys battled back<br />
to tie things at 16-16 at the<br />
half, but it took a while<br />
before they could get any<br />
consistent offensive production.<br />
“I think we’re long, more<br />
than it being a distinct size<br />
advantage,” Wood said. “It<br />
wasn’t until Courtney had<br />
some plays where she was<br />
able to score or draw some<br />

reach-in fouls from them<br />
to get to the line that got us<br />
some points off of getting<br />
to the rim. We did a good<br />
job continuing to attack<br />
though.”<br />
Luckily for the Caxys<br />
that size advantage paid<br />
even bigger dividends on<br />
defense.<br />
The Panthers got to the<br />
basket but more often than<br />
not Lake Forest Academy<br />
sent the shot back.<br />
“I make sure I keep my<br />
hands up and go straight<br />
up without moving too<br />
much,” Keita said. “My<br />
coaches say when I defend<br />
like that, the other team<br />
doesn’t want to go inside<br />
too often.”<br />
The Caxys took the<br />
lead in the third by going<br />
up 22-18, getting three<br />
apiece from Harris and<br />
Jackson.<br />
Keita contributes in<br />
multiple phases of the<br />
game. And her coach said<br />
that’s because of how<br />
much work she puts in<br />
“Rama does everything<br />
for us,” Wood said.<br />
“She wants to be breaking<br />
a sweat after warmups.<br />
She’s a quiet leader but<br />
leads by example from<br />
how hard she plays.”<br />
Harris added nine for<br />
the Caxys while Jackson<br />
scored eight.<br />
