Glenview Village Board 

Minimum wage, sick leave narrowly advance with 4-1 vote 

Final vote 

scheduled for 

Tuesday, Feb. 5 

Chris Pullam 

Freelance Reporter 

Glenview is one step 

away from adopting Cook 

County’s minimum wage 

and sick leave ordinances, 

effective July 1. 

The Glenview Village 

Board voted 4-1 in favor 

of compliance during their 

Tuesday, Jan. 15 meeting. 

Trustees were originally 

slated to vote on the same 

ordinance with an effective 

date of July 1, 2020, 

but reduced the timetable 

by one year during a public 

debate that followed 

nearly an hour of resident 

input. 

Trustees Michael Jenny, 

Deborah Karton, Karim 

Khoja and Kerry Cummings 

voted in favor of 

raising the minimum wage 

and guaranteeing paid sick 

leave for workers in the 

village. The board previously 

voted to opt out of 

the ordinances but reconsidered 

after Glenview 

residents overwhelming 

supported implementation 

through a ballot referendum 

during last year’s 

general election. 

“There are a lot of diverse 

opinions [on this issue],” 

Jenny said. “That’s 

what makes us a great community. 

… But it’s clear to 

me … that the vast majority 

of residents have spoken 

through the referendum, 

and for that reason, I think 

we have to implement a 

policy that is reflective of 

that.” 

Only Trustee John 

Hinkamp dissented. 

“I don’t feel this helps 

workers,” Hinkamp said. 

“It’s proven to eliminate 

jobs. … This is a bad law. 

It’s always been a bad 

law.” 

Cummings — a former 

Glenview village president 

— was appointed to 

the board less than an hour 

before the vote. She fills 

the vacant seat left by former 

Trustee Scott Britton’s 

election to the Cook County 

Board of Commissioners. 

Britton had attended 

the previous Village Board 

meeting as a resident and 

urged trustees to implement 

the ordinances earlier 

than July 2020. 

Trustee Philip O’C. 

White missed the meeting 

due to an injury, but 

his vote wouldn’t have 

changed the outcome, as 

ordinances only require 

four votes to pass. 

While Jenny, Karton, 

Khoja and Cummings all 

seemed to support adopting 

Cook County’s ordinances 

from the beginning 

of the meeting, Khoja, 

himself a business owner, 

preferred implementing 

the new rules on July 1, 

2020, to give Glenview 

businesses more time to 

adjust. 

Prior to the vote, he told 

Jenny, Karton and Cummings 

he would compromise 

by supporting a Dec. 

31, 2019 implementation, 

but ultimately conceded 

when Jenny called a vote 

incorporating the earlier 

date. 

Earlier, Hinkamp tried 

to leverage the uncertainty 

around Khoja’s 

eventual vote by making 

a last-ditch effort to remove 

the exemptions that 

protect some religious and 

governmental organizations 

from compliance. 

“The referendum didn’t 

take into account any of 

the people who were exempted,” 

he said. “If we 

are going to vote on this, 

we should make it for everyone 

without any exemptions 

because people 

working for government 

or religion organizations 

are entitled to a fair and 

living wage, as well, aren’t 

they?” 

His bid ultimately 

failed; Village Manager 

Matthew Formica explained 

that including the 

provision would’ve caused 

complications that his office 

hadn’t considered. 

The board will vote 

again on the ordinances 

during their Tuesday, Feb. 

5 meeting. At that time, 

since the first consideration 

was not unanimous, 

residents will be able to 

address trustees prior to 

their vote. If it passes during 

that meeting, Glenview 

will adopt Cook 

County’s minimum wage 

and sick leave policies 

effective July 1, 2019. 

How we got here 

Last year, the Glenview 

Village Board opted out of 

Cook County’s new minimum 

wage and sick leave 

ordinances, but during the 

Nov. 6, 2018 General Election, 

Glenview residents 

voted overwhelmingly in 

favor of changing course. 

According to Cook 

County election results, 

approximately 76 and 82 

percent of voters in the 

precincts that include at 

least a small section of 

Glenview, respectively, 

voted ‘yes’ to these 

questions: 

- 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 or not 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 accrues one hour 

of paid sick leave for every 

40 hours worked, 

up to a maximum sick 

leave accrual of 40 hours 

per year. 

During the Glenview 

Village Board’s Dec. 4 

meeting, the board’s second 

meeting following the 

November election, Patterson 

directed staff to include 

ROUND IT UP 

A brief recap of Village Board action on Tuesday, Jan. 

15: 

• Trustees authorized a Class A liquor license 

for Skipjack, a full-service upscale Japanese 

restaurant set to open in early 2019 at 81 

Waukegan Road. 

• The board approved a Class B liquor license 

for Montira Thai, an existing full-service Thai 

restaurant at 1845 Tower Drive. 

an advisory item on the 

Thursday, Jan. 3 meeting 

agenda so the board could 

explore several 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. 

Residents of Wilmette 

and Northbrook, which 

opted out of the ordinances 

in 2017 along with 105 

other home-rule municipalities, 

also voted overwhelmingly 

in support of 

the ordinances during the 

2018 General Election. 

Since then, both village 

boards have readdressed 

the issue.

Residents pack library to hear from Glenview author 

Hilary Anderson 


Jan. 8 was a grand 

homecoming for broadcaster 

and journalist Peter 

Nolan. 

Family, friends and former 

neighbors packed the 

Glencoe Library to hear 

Nolan talk about his new 

book, “News Stories, A 

Memoir,” that Tuesday 

evening. Nolan worked 

at Chicago’s WMAQ TV 

and WBBM TV for many 

years. 

Glencoe resident, longtime 

neighbor and friend 

Bob Boone hosted the 

evening’s discussion. 

“Peter Nolan is a great 

storyteller,” Boone said. 

“His book is a collection 

of 60 small stories about 

people he met in his career. 

Especially great 

about the book is the stories 

are short, complete 

and tell themselves. Some 

people you know, others 

you do not.” 

Nolan gave an overview 

of how he eventually became 

a TV broadcaster. 

He attended Philadelphia’s 

Villanova University 

where he became interested 

in broadcasting. 

“I worked on the Villanova 

school paper where 

I probably got interested 

in writing,” he said. “My 

campus radio station manager 

where I was the news 

and sports director asked 

me if I could be the voice 

of the school’s basketball 

team. It was not a good 

team at the time and no 

other station wanted to 

carry it. The team became 

good again so they did not 

need me. I went back to 

doing news.” 

Nolan graduated and 

was getting married but 

could not find a job in 

Author Peter Nolan, of Glenview, reads from his new book “News Stories: A Memoir”

broadcasting. He took one 

as a temporary seventhgrade 

English and social 

studies teacher in Buffalo. 

That was followed by a 

job at a radio station in 

Niagara Falls. 

“I went to Youngstown, 

Ohio and got into television 

news,” Nolan said. 

“My family was growing. 

I needed a bigger 

market where there was 

union pay. In 1968, I was 

hired as a summer replacement 

writer at NBC. 

About three years later, 

I got to be a TV reporter 

at WMAQ TV with three 

years at WBBM TV. The 

best part was doing commentary.” 

Nolan said he spent 

about 30 years as a broadcaster. 

“Then I started writing,” 

he said. 

His first book was 

“Campaign,” and it was 

about the election of Harold 

Washington. 

“I saved every script I 

wrote for television and 

knew I was going to do 

something with them,” 

Nolan said. “I wrote down 

everything I remembered. 

One of the first things was 

about an interview with a 

person who retired from 

politics. He told me why 

he knew Harold Washington 

would win.” 

Another story in 

Glenview resident Sharee Pemberton asks Nolan a 

question. 

Nolan’s book concerned 

a woman who went missing 

in October 1974. The 

story was descriptive. The 

missing woman turned 

out to be Rosemary Kennedy, 

the sister of the late 

President John Kennedy 

and Robert Kennedy. She 

was born with a cognitive 

disability. 

The book contains two 

unrelated, heart-wrenching 

stories about individuals 

who served in World 

War II. 

Nolan talked about 

Civil Rights issues in the 

news at the time. 

One story was, “Jim 

Crowe at the Abraham 

Lincoln Hotel in Springfield,” 

about a legislator, 

Rep. Corneal Davis, who 

was ending his 33-year 

career as an Illinois legislator. 

He was refused a 

room in that hotel when 

he first started because of 

his skin color. 

There also is a story 

about Roland Burris who 

voters elected as controller 

of Illinois, the first 

Black man to be elected to 

a top job in the state. 

Nolan said there still is 

the need for more good 

people to get into journalism. 

“I do wonder about 

those I see on TV news 

now. They all seem to 

have movie star looks,” 

he said. 

Nolan and his wife now 

live in Glenview but he 

still maintains his Glencoe 

connections. 

“We downsized after 

the last of our six children 

moved out,” he said.

Park Center track gate paying dividends 

NEIL MILBERT 


The admission gate that 

has been installed at the 

entrance of the Glenview 

Park Center’s running 

track is proving to be a 

cash cow for the Park District. 

As of Wednesday, Jan. 

16, runners and walkers 

have had to use a pass to 

get through the gate and 

onto the one-eighth-mile 

indoor track. 

Glenview residents can 

obtain a pass at no charge, 

but non-residents must 

purchase a pass, giving the 

Park District a small new 

revenue stream. 

Before Jan. 16, non-residents 

could use the track 

free of charge. 

At the Thursday, Jan. 

17 meeting of the Park 

District Board, Superintendent 

of Special Services 

Lori Lovell said 2,042 

passes had been issued, 

including 244 that were 

purchased by non-residents, 

generating $17,355 

in revenue. 

Ten-punch cards can be 

purchased for $30, sixmonth 

passes for $65 and 

annual passes for $100. 

The passes first went on 

sale in December. 

Of the 244 passes that 

were purchased on or 

before Thursday, Jan. 

17, 48 were 10-punch 

cards, which sold for a 

total of $1,410; 49 were 

six-month cards, which

Glenbrook High School District 225 

17-member committee to weigh school calendar survey findings 

Neil Milbert 


Hanover Research has 

released the extensive 

findings of its Glenbrook 

High School District 225 

school calendar survey and 

Superintendent Dr. Mike 

Riggle discussed them at 

length at the board of education’s 

Monday, Jan. 14 

meeting. 

“What do we do with it 

now that we have it?” Dr. 

Riggle asked. “These calendar 

guidelines only set a 

framework.” 

In the opinion of Board 

President Skip Shein, “It’s 

kind of mind-numbing trying 

to piece it together.” 

Answering his own 

question, Riggle said the 

next step is to put together 

a 17-member committee 

made up of two Glenbrook 

North and two Glenbrook 

South students, four parents 

of students, two 

teachers from each of the 

schools and five members 

of the administration “to 

take a close look at the 

survey and see if there is 

anything undervalued or 

missed.” 

“We’re not rushing to 

do anything at this stage of 

the game,” he emphasized. 

There were 7,707 stakeholders 

who participated 

in the email survey — 

2,479 students at the high 

schools, 606 teachers and 

staff members, 2,120 GBS 

and GBN parents and 

2,502 parents of students 

at feeder grammar schools. 

They were presented 

two options: 

1. Adopt the college calendar 

and have the school 

year begin in early to mid- 

August, holding first-semester 

exams before winter 

break and ending the 

year in late May 

2. Or perpetuate the traditional 

calendar that calls 

for school to start in late 

August, with first-semester 

exams after winter break 

and the end of the school 

year in early June. 

Hanover Research recommended 

District 225 

“should consider adopting 

the Option 1 calendar.” 

“The survey results indicate 

that more than half of 

all stakeholders prefer to 

have final exams taken prior 

to winter break,” the research 

firm’s report states. 

“Students prefer the Option 

1 calendar, and while 

school staff slightly prefer 

the Option 2 calendar, 

they also indicate that the 

Option 1 schedule would 

not adversely impact their 

classroom and curriculum 

planning. Most parents 

also indicate that the Option 

1 schedule would not 

adversely affect family vacation 

planning and other 

activities.” 

Other recommendations 

were that District 225 

“should secure buy-in 

from parents of feederschool 

students” if it 

adopts the Option 1 calendar 

and “should consider 

offering resources and 

supports that help students 

manage the stressors that 

they face in school.” 

Of the respondents, 76 

percent favored the Option 

1 schedule because firstsemester 

exams would 

be held before the winter 

break, but only 18 percent 

liked the Option 1 

start date in early to mid- 

August. 

Of the feeder-school 

parents, 57 percent of the 

parents favored Option 2. 

“People who opted for 

Option 1 said very clearly 

the reason they favored it 

was the date of the exams, 

and people who opted for 

Option 2 favored it was 

because of the start time in 

late August,” Riggle said. 

The fact that there is a 

significant disparity in the 

overwhelming approval 

for the earlier semester exams 

in Option 1 and a huge 

unfavorable response to 

the early school year start 

time in this option poses a 

dilemma for District 225 

officials. 

Board members Dr. Sonia 

Kim and Karen Hanley 

suggested a solution: a 

shorter first semester. 

“There’s nothing in the 

state rules that require balanced 

semesters,” Riggle 

said. “The only requirement 

is 176 student days 

and we do 178.” 

Riggle told the board 

his concern with the unbalanced 

schedule is if 

the days are too far off. 

The current schedule has 

89 days in each semester. 

Riggle said he believes 

84 in the first and 92 or 

93 in the second could 

potentially work. 

“We’re going to communicate 

early and often 

with the feeder districts,” 

Riggle said. 

Riggle noted Township 

High School District 

113 in Highland Park 

and Deerfield introduced 

the unbalanced schedule 

this year and “it is very 

popular,” while Lake Forest 

and Stevenson also 

have instituted unbalanced 

semesters. 

“At Loyola Academy 60 

percent to 70 percent of 

the courses are yearlong,” 

he added, “and you (teachers) 

can break up finals 

whenever you like.” 

Dr. Riggle reiterated that 

there is no sense of urgency 

because the 2019-20 calendar 

already has been established, 

giving the 17-member 

committee ample time 

to study the Hanover 

calendar survey findings 

and submit a report to the 

board for discussion.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

No injuries reported after 

early morning fire 

Northbrook firefighters 

responded to reports 

of an explosion and fire in 

the 2500 block of Melanie 

Lane in Northbrook at approximately 

6:20 a.m. the 

morning of Jan. 16, according 

to Northbrook Fire 

Chief Andrew Carlson. 

Carlson told The Tower 

an off-duty firefighter on 

his way into work was the 

first one on the block. The 

first Northbrook fire truck 

was on the scene eight 

minutes after the department 

received a call from a 

neighbor around 6:20 a.m., 

per Carlson. 

Carlson said the fire was 

already starting to extend 

on both sides of the house 

when crews arrived. 

“The houses on this 

street are about 20-30 feet 

apart, so the first house was 

FEATURING: 

almost entirely engulfed in 

fire pretty quickly, so when 

the first fire truck got here, 

it was already extending to 

the house on either side,” 

Carlson said. 

Carlson said the department 

made sure the occupants 

of the original home 

and the occupants of the 

neighboring homes exited 

safely. The residents were 

able to get out on their own, 

according to Carlson. 

No residents or firefighters 

sustained any injuries, 

per Carlson. 

The exact cause of 

the explosion and subsequent 

fire remains under 

investigation.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

City Council approves 

$80K arch for city’s 150th 

birthday 

Residents passing by the 

corner park at Deerfield 

Road, Hickory Street and 

Laurel Avenue can look forward 

to a 24-feet-wide and 

8-feet-tall archway this fall. 

The sculpture, and the 

location celebrating Highland 

Park’s 150th birthday, 

received a unanimous 

green light from the City 

Council at its Monday, Jan. 

14 meeting. 

Michael Szabo’s piece 

received approval over 28 

other hopeful artists looking 

to make a lasting imprint on 

the city. Contestants submitted 

their proposals last 

fall and four finalists were 

chosen by the Cultural Arts 

Advisory Group of the Cultural 

Arts Commission. 

Szabo’s sculpture, an 

arch from one angle and a 

ribbon from another, will 

be made of stainless steel 

and patinated bronze, and 

can be viewed on the city’s 

website. The three other 

sculptures were a 23-foottall 

ribbon, an inclusion 

of native birds and a trailmarker 

tree. After extensive 

input from the community 

and phone interviews with 

the four finalists, the advisory 

group recommended 

Szabo’s submission. 

“We were moved by 

the elegant aesthetic of 

the work, the fluid form 

... and the artist’s idea of 

work that evokes a gateway 

to the community of 

Highland Park and the next 

150 years,” said Cathy 

Ricciardelli, the advisory 

board’s chair. 

The $80,000 sculpture is 

planned to be installed in 

September, and its acquisition 

and installation costs 

will be paid for by the city’s 

public art fund. Currently, 

the fund has approximately 

$82,000, which the City 

Council can approve for 

expenditures not within the 

city’s budget because it has 

already been appropriated 

for art purchases, according 

to Assistant City Manager 

Rob Sabo.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Community seeks to 

assist Wilmette Coast 

Guard during government 

shutdown 

Wilmette residents, businesses 

and churches want 

to help. 

They are looking for 

ways to assist those tangibly 

affected by the 

government shutdown. 

One group is the United 

States Coast Guard, who 

has members on duty at 

Wilmette Harbor 24/7. 

“The Coast Guard and 

TSA are under Homeland 

Security and are not exempt,” 

said Denise Zeir, 

longtime Wilmette resident 

and owner of Wilmette’s 

Zier’s Meat and 

Poultry. “The Coast Guard 

is the only group in the 

U.S. military that is not 

exempt.” 

When the government 

shutdown began on Dec. 

22 , Zier, along with her 

daughter, Elizabeth, immediately 

found ways to 

help. Initially, they learned 

the Wilmette Coast Guard 

staff, which consists of 

about 25 people, hoped the 

situation would change and 

asked everyone to wait until 

Jan. 15 when their next 

paycheck was due. Unfortunately, 

that money never 

came in. 

The situation is made 

even more difficult because 

the Coast Guard has strict 

rules about accepting donations 

of any kind from the 

public. 

“They also were very 

humble and hopeful,” Zier 

said. “I met with the officers 

on duty at the Wilmette 

Harbor. Some residents 

also talked with them.” 

Their rules include the 

following: 

• Each Coast Guard officer 

is only allowed to 

receive a food gift card of 

up to $20 per occasion — 

from Jewel, Whole Foods, 

Mariano’s, Trader Joes, 

Fresh Market, Grand Store. 

They can receive no more 

than up to $50 in food gift 

cards on the second occasion. 

That includes the first 

$20.

Titans aim to boost self-sustainability abroad 

Submitted by Glenbrook 

South High School 

Students at Glenbrook 

South High School showed 

initiative this winter by 

helping out a nonprofit 

organization aiming to 

spread bracelets and bags 

made by people in Nicaragua 

and Guatemala across 

the U.S. 

The sale of the bracelets, 

known as pulseras in Spanish, 

and bags, known as 

bolsas, allows mothers in 

these countries to be able to 

work and take care of their 

children at the same time. 

The purpose of participating 

in the Pulsera 

Project was “to help and 

empower the people of 

Nicaragua and Guatemala,” 

according to Jorge 

Zamora, who teaches AP 

Spanish at GBS. It also 

“[allowed] students to take 

ownership of the project 

and realize what is important,” 

he said. 

About 140 GBS students 

participated in the initiative. 

Spanish AP language 

teacher Rachael Rothrauff 

said she was “impressed 

with how the students [presented 

in] other Spanish 

classes and had so many 

different ideas because this 

was all student-led.” 

Each bracelet contains a 

picture and the name of the 

person who made it, which 

creates a unique connection 

between the seller and 

buyer. 

GBS participated in the 

Pulsera Project for the first 

time this school year, and 

the students were able to 

raise $3,564 (about 150 

pulsera sales per day). 

That money will provide 

fair-trade employment and 

college education for the 

creators of these beautiful 

items. 

About 2,500 schools 

participated in the initiative 

across the country, but 

GBS was part of the small 

handful to have made such 

a successful sale and difference 

in the lives of 

those in need. 

Tess Leden, a junior 

who participated in the 

Pulsera Project, said she 

bought 14 pulseras for her 

family for the holiday season, 

and the project “hit 

close to home” as she has 

family in Nicaragua. 

The Pulsera Project allowed 

her ”to realize how a 

small amount of money can 

mean so much to people” in 

other countries, Leden said.

Chopsticks, Change and China 

Jeff Blackman 

Contributing Columnist 

Glenview Resident 

As a mom, speaker/ 

educator, world 

traveler and 

host of GVTV’s “Off 

the Shelf,” Glenview’s 

Yvonne Wolf is busy! 

Plus, she’s mastered 

several languages: Mandarin, 

Danish, Japanese, 

Spanish and Greek. But 

to make my job easy, she 

answered my question in 

English. 

Jeff Blackman: You’ve 

had quite a journey… 

Yvonne Wolf: My family 

and I came to the U.S./ 

Los Angeles from Taiwan 

when I was eight. First impression: 

everything was 

big. The airport, cars, even 

streets were larger/wider 

than Taipei. 

My cousin took my 

sister and me for our first 

Big Mac. It was a shock 

to taste a sour pickle on 

that first bite, but I fell in 

love with fries and shakes. 

Plus, transitioning from 

eating with chopsticks to 

bare hands was odd. 

In 2011, I relocated with 

my family to Glenview. 

JB: You’re immersed 

in educating others about 

Chinese culture. 

YW: Chinese culture 

can be intimidating. I help 

people feel comfortable 

with it. 

American culture has 

become more casual. Chinese 

culture has changed 

much slower. 

For the Chinese, using 

both hands to exchange 

business cards is still 

standard practice 

And when managers 

meet, they introduce 

themselves using their last 

names first, before deferring 

to first names. 

JB: In February, you’re 

speaking at the Glenview 

Park Center, on the “Art of 

Chinese Dining.” What’s 

the art? 

And is it true in China 

that how/where one holds 

chopsticks is a reflection 

of societal status? 

YW: Yes. Although, 

how one holds their chopsticks 

can show good upbringing 

and social status. 

Now, it’s less strictly perceived. 

Yet, there are several 

Chinese dining rules 

that may seem puzzling. 

Chinese don’t use chopsticks 

to point at people, 

stir tea, or skewer food. 

Chinese culture is 

more group-centered 

than individual-centered. 

Family-style lets people 

share food from a communal 

plate. 

Ordering dishes is about 

what the group likes, to 

invite variety and incorporate 

a balance of colors 

and flavors. This is one 

way Chinese show the 

harmony of yin and yang 

in meals. 

In the “Art of Chinese 

Dining,” I’ll also share 

nonverbal Chinese culture 

cues. 

JB: 2019 is the “year of 

the pig.” What’s the significance? 

YW: Each zodiac animal 

represents positive 

traits humans can incorporate 

into our behavior. The 

boar represents good nature, 

a joyous attitude and 

generosity. 

Upon each return of 

one’s zodiac animal, it’s a 

time for self-reflection and 

improvement. Some 

zodiac animals are so 

favored by the Chinese — 

like the dragon — during 

that year, birth rate, school 

enrollment and college 

admissions increase. 

JB: After visiting 20- 

plus countries and 25 

U.S. states, what have you 

learned? 

YW: We’re always 

“reading” others. Misunderstandings 

happen when 

we misread them. 

In France, if two people 

exchange kisses on the 

cheek, we don’t assume 

they’re lovers. 

In a Chinese-speaking 

country, it would be more 

likely, they are. 

Americans tend to 

move, talk, eat and socialize 

quickly. I’d suggest 

when you visit other countries 

or even states, slow 

down, plan fewer things, 

enjoy waiting time. Put 

people-watching on your 

to-do list.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Request to reconsider 

assisted living, memory 

care facility gets denied 

Last month, the Northfield 

Village Board unanimously 

rejected a 44-unit 

assisted living and memory 

care facility at 1622 Willow 

Road. But an attorney representing 

the project’s petitioner 

came to the board’s 

Tuesday, Jan. 15 meeting 

to request the matter be 

reconsidered. 

Ultimately, the board 

turned down the request. 

Bridget O’Keefe, an attorney 

at Daspin and Aument, 

requested the matter be 

reopened for two to three 

months and come before 

the board again after re-engaging 

with the community. 

“What we’d like to ask 

tonight is that the matter 

be reopened for further discussion 

with the neighbors, 

community and the board,” 

O’Keefe said. “We’d like 

to just open it up, not forever, 

but for a 60- to 90-day 

period to allow us to go 

back and have discussion 

with the neighbors to come 

to some consensus or make 

progress and come back to 

you and present what we 

can.” 

Village Attorney Buzz 

Hill explained the process 

for the request to 

reconsider the matter. 

Any matter the board 

votes on may be reconsidered 

by adopting a motion 

at the very next meeting to 

do so. In order to reopen 

this particular matter, the 

board would have had to 

vote to do so at its Tuesday, 

Jan. 15, meeting, which it 

did not ultimately do. 

The process requires 

a motion to reconsider, 

a second and an affirmative 

vote by the majority 

of the seven board members. 

Because only four of 

the seven board members 

were present, all four in 

attendance would have 

had to vote to reconsider. 

Ultimately, no motion was 

made to reconsider, so 

last month’s unanimous 

vote rejecting the assisted 

living and memory care 

facility stands. 

“It will take one of you 

to make a motion to reconsider, 

and it requires a 

second and it requires the 

affirmative vote of all four 

of the elected officials sitting 

here tonight,” Hill 

said. “It requires the affirmative 

vote of the majority 

of those holding office.”

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Change in ownership 

breathes new life into 

Reach Yoga 

Reach Yoga has a new 

owner, though not an 

unfamiliar one. 

Veteran yoga teacher 

Laura Merlo, of Glencoe, 

took ownership last month 

and is already putting her 

mark on the longstanding 

studio. 

Attendees and passersby 

may have noticed the updated 

logo and signage, and 

the newly branded merchandise 

in the window, 

reflective of the fresh, new 

energy Merlo is bringing 

to the downtown Glencoe 

yoga studio. 

While the appearance of 

Reach has been updated, 

Merlo is intent on leaving 

other aspects of the studio, 

such as the schedule and the 

teachers, just as they were. 

When former owner 

Dani Petrie was ready to 

sell, Merlo referred to her 

decision to take ownership 

as a “no-brainer.” 

“(It was) an offer I 

couldn’t refuse,” she said. 

“I knew I could do it.” 

Before teaching yoga, 

Merlo had owned a boutique 

that she had built from 

the ground up in Chicago, 

so running a business is not 

an entirely new endeavor 

for her. And though she 

never planned on becoming 

a yoga teacher — let alone 

the owner of a studio — 

Merlo felt that with her experience 

and the timing, and 

the fact that Petrie would be 

leaving her a smoothly running 

studio in good condition, 

it was something she 

had to give a try. 

As a Glencoe resident, 

Merlo is appreciative of the 

strong sense of community 

at Reach. 

“There’s a yoga class for 

everybody,” said Merlo, 

reminding that yoga is 

not just about the physical 

movements of the practice, 

but it also focuses on yogi 

philosophy and inwardlooking 

meditation.

An intriguing number from this week’s edition 

The number of new officers added 

to the Glenview Police Department 

at the start of January. See Page 

10 for more on this story. 

From the Editor 

Jason Addy 

Editor 

This week’s cover 

story really got me 

thinking. 

As a young reporter 

navigating my way in this 

often cutthroat, always difficult 

industry, Peter Nolan, 

a Glenview newsman, is an 

inspiration to me. 

When I first went to 

Penn State University as 

an incoming freshman, I 

was sure that I would learn 

to crunch numbers and 

earn an accounting degree, 

following in the footsteps 

of my corporate accountant 

aunt. 

UPDATE 

From Page 18 

ry academic interventions. 

The school also shares 

three students with the 

Northern Suburban Special 

Education District. 

Reading and writing instruction 

is highly differentiated 

through a balanced 

literacy model. 

Guided reading, aka 

Team Read, begins this 

month. 

For 30 minutes every 

day, students receive feedback 

and guidance on important 

reading behaviors 

at their individual stage of 

development, Carlson said. 

“It is remarkable to see 

the growth from fall to 

spring! Magic!” he said. 

In the math workshop, 

The story of a lifetime 

I quickly realized I 

wasn’t made for the business 

world. I mulled over 

this realization, and on a 

whim, found myself at the 

next student newspaper 

tryout. I was instantly 

hooked by the rush of 

breaking news. 

As detailed on Page 6, 

Peter Nolan first found his 

calling as a reporter while 

working on the student 

newspaper at Villanova 

University in Philadelphia. 

Nolan felt the initial pains 

of finding a job in the news 

industry after graduation 

— a challenge I can easily 

relate to. 

Despite those early 

doubts, Nolan forged his 

way into the industry and 

became one of the leading 

reporters in Chicago’s 

competitive news market. 

Similarly, after earning 

my journalism degree, I 

struggled to land a reporting 

job with my scant 

experience. While stocking 

faculty continue to access 

the Math In Focus and 

Bridges resources. The 

math workshop integrates 

multiple visuals and games. 

There is collaborative 

planning time scheduled 

with the math coordinator 

and specialist, and the 

workshop includes multiple 

visuals and games. 

“The students love composing 

and decomposing 

numbers with dice,” 

Carlson said. 

Dr. Hirsch said that this 

is the third year that the 

school is incorporating 

the Shared Collaborative 

Imaginative Play curriculum, 

where specials teachers 

and classroom teachers 

co-teach important socialemotional 

skills and concepts 

during the play block 

bookstore shelves, an opportunity 

finally knocked 

on my door, and I grabbed 

it with both hands. 

For more than a year, I 

invested myself in a small 

city in central Pennsylvania, 

learning about the people 

who called it home and 

helping to inform them of 

the decisions that impacted 

their lives. After some 

time, wanting to stretch my 

legs further, I packed up 

my life and moved to the 

Chicago region to continue 

honing this craft. 

This time, it was even 

harder to find a job that I 

felt proud of and paid the 

bills. After scouring job 

boards and freelancing for 

the 22nd Century Media 

for a few months, another 

opportunity knocked. 

I got the privilege of 

learning and exploring 

Glenview, and keeping you 

informed of what’s happening 

around town. 

Like Nolan, I’ve met 

Hirsch said team reading 

and phonics started 

after winter break. The 

school is also using a new 

program called Fundations 

that emphasizes a multisensory 

approach to alphabet 

letters, sounds and 

handwriting. 

Staff members will be 

giving a presentation on 

SCIP at the upcoming Illinois 

ASCD Kindergarten 

Conference, which is held 

from March 6-8. 

Kindergarten Registration 

for next school year 

will be held from 1-7 

p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, at 

Willowbrook School.

and written about great 

people in my time in 

Glenview — far less, but 

as uniquely interesting and 

good-willed as his sources. 

In honor of his great accomplishments, 

Nolan will 

be recognized in May by 

his journalism colleagues 

at the Silver Circle Honors 

Dinner in Chicago. 

He will be given the 

2019 Silver Circle Award, 

the highest honor in Chicago’s 

television industry, 

along with 10 other 

inductees, by the Midwest 

Chapter of the National 

Academy of Television 

Arts and Sciences. 

Such an award is a testament 

to a man who has 

lived a full life in service 

to others. 

I only hope that one day 

I, too, will be able to celebrate 

such a blessing, and 

have a few great stories of 

my own to tell.

Glenview couple keeps 

New Year’s resolution 

Chris Pullam 


Justin and Sarah Breen 

didn’t set out to appear 

on “The Today Show” or 

inspire their social media 

followers to strengthen 

their commitments to 

their significant others. 

They simply wanted to 

spend more one-on-one 

time together. 

At the end of 2017, the 

couple from Glenview 

made a New Year’s resolution 

for 2018: to go out 

to dinner once a week, just 

the two of them, without 

the kids. And 52 weeks 

later, they completed their 

journey — but not before 

picking up a few fans 

along the way. 

“I came up with the 

idea because my wife 

and I have a very good 

marriage and our work 

careers are great, but we 

have two young kids and 

life can get exhausting at 

times,” Justin said. “So I 

felt it would be great to go 

out and eat once a week 

without the kids just to reconnect. 

We both put a lot 

of effort into our respective 

careers to be successful, 

so we put that same 

level of effort into this 

resolution, as well.” 

Justin, a Glenview resident 

and Glenbrook North 

graduate, owns a public/media 

relations firm, 

BrEpic Communications, 

so it was only natural that 

he documented many of 

the dinners via Facebook. 

Pretty soon, they had their 

own fanbase, with followers 

sending them encouraging 

messages urging 

them to accomplish the 

feat, as well as a few who 

Glenview couple Justin and Sarah Breen entered 2018 

with a simple resolution: have a date night every week 

without the kids. photo submitted 

wanted to try the resolution 

for themselves. 

“It’s cool [to see that 

people were inspired by 

us],” Justin said. “Besides 

connecting with my wife, 

that’s been the best part, 

actually seeing people doing 

this, as well. I think 

that after you’re married 

for a certain amount of 

time, it’s possible to begin 

forgetting the reason you 

got married in the first 

place. That this adventure 

led to other couples 

being inspired is very 

gratifying.” 

With only a few weeks 

remaining in 2018, the 

newspapers began calling. 

Then, on Jan. 4, the 

Breen’s story appeared on 

“The Today Show.” And 

on Friday, Jan. 11, Justin 

announced over Facebook 

that the “Steve Harvey 

Show” wanted to fly the 

couple to Los Angeles for 

an appearance. 

“Had a great talk with 

the producer,” Justin told 

his followers in a post. 

“She is very excited about 

the possibilities. Should 

know more by next week 

if this gets green-lighted.

Aquaman’s shallow story still makes big splash 

Kathy Clemens 


Glenview resident 

Aquaman has always 

been considered a bit of a 

punchline – the D-list crusader 

whose abilities paled 

in comparison to Superman, 

Batman and Wonder 

Woman. 

Little kids playing superhero 

always chose Aquaman 

last, like the sad sack 

sitting forlornly on the 

bleachers for kickball as 

the team formed around 

him because all of the other 

heroes got picked first. 

Not any more. 

Burly, bearded and barechested, 

Jason Momoa explodes 

onto the screen like 

the lead guitarist of a vintage 

80s hair-metal band 

with fireworks shooting out 

of the fretboard. 

The bleached blond, 

clean-cut Aquaman from 

the Saturday morning cartoon 

Super Friends of old 

is gone, banished to those 

bleachers or maybe even 

driven off the playground 

entirely. There’s a new 

sheriff in town. 

But it’s too bad that 

Momoa’s Aquaman was 

dumped into an inflatable 

kiddie pool instead of a 

mighty oceanic empire, as 

this movie isn’t great. 

At least he seemed to be 

having fun with it - gleefully 

ripping through the 

scenery and making the 

most of his one-liners; he’s 

worth watching. 

The movie didn’t quite 

decide if it wants to be 

nudge-nudge-wink-wink 

in-on-the-joke or a “serious” 

comic book film, so 

it doesn’t really succeed at 

either. 

Tasked with saving both 

his human world and his 

aquatic one, Momoa fights 

injustice, quests to find a 

trident thingy and goes to 

battle. 

A weirdly cast Nicole 

Kidman, who plays the 

Queen of Atlantis and 

Aquaman’s mom, and Willem 

Dafoe (vizier to one of 

the kings and Mr. Miyagi 

to Aquaman) are clearly 

looking for a better movie 

to be in but gamely deliver 

their clunky lines in the 

midst of the CGI-clustered 

set pieces. 

Amber Heard does her 

best Scarlett Johansson 

impression as Princess 

Mera, but it leaves viewers 

wishing she had better 

chemistry with her hunky 

co-star. 

Dolph Lundgren (yes!) 

pops up as Princess Mera’s 

dad and ruler of one of the 

seven kingdoms, while 

Patrick Wilson plays Orm, 

Aquaman’s half-brother 

and nemesis. 

The lazy screenwriting 

over-explains some details 

during oddly framed 

expository dialogues designed 

to provide information 

to the audience — 

who have obviously been 

deemed too stupid to figure 

stuff out on their own 

— but ignores some major 

plot points that could 

have been noted at least 

in passing. 

Cut off about 45 extraneous 

minutes of running 

time and get some 

writers who can actually 

write, and this movie is 

reasonably good. 

Here’s hoping that the 

sequel (because of course 

there’s going to be one) 

can cash in on the charm 

of its hero, who dives 

headfirst into what he’s 

given and makes the most 

of what he can. 

The underwater optics 

are pretty cool, and the 

special effects team labored 

overtime to ensure the sealife 

was as realistically portrayed 

as possible while 

working through the logistics 

of having their actors 

converse in the briny deep. 

The building of this 

underwater world is a bit 

lengthy although it does 

eventually pay off, even if 

there are some ludicrous 

moments (war sharks ...

Taken with a grain of sea 

salt, “Aquaman” is a fairly 

entertaining ride that relies 

heavily on the charisma of 

its leading man. And his 

muscles.

level.” 

Only a couple weeks 

into 2019, his Facebook 

page is already filled 

with photos of his friends 

on their first or second 

date nights of their own 

year-long journeys. 

But while going on 52 

dates in 52 weeks seems 

almost magical, it wasn’t 

easy. 

Sarah Breen is a pediatrician. 

Justin runs BrEpic 

Communications, which 

he founded after leaving 

his post as a senior editor 

at DNAinfo. 

Suffice to say, simple 

time constraints often 

threatened to derail their 

plans — not to mention 

their two young children, 

6-year-old Jake and 

4-year-old Chase, who 

needed a babysitter every 

time they went out. 

“People think that going 

out 52 times in a year isn’t 

a big deal, but if you think 

it’s an easy thing, I recommend 

that you try it for 

yourself,” Justin said. 

“Because of all the following 

and positive reinforcement, 

missing one 

week would’ve been devastating,” 

Sarah said. “But 

that was never the point. 

The point was to spend 

time together. There were 

weeks we didn’t talk to 

each other except for that 

night just because we 

were so busy with our 

lives, but it was nice to 

know we always had that 

one night.” 

One week into 2019, the 

Breens had kept the streak 

going with yet another 

date night, but this time, it 

“had nothing to do with the 

resolution. We just enjoy 

spending time together.” 

For Justin’s 2019 resolution, 

he hopes to plan 

a “surprise” date night 

every month to thank his 

wife for planning most of 

the dates. Rather than focus 

on dinner, though, he 

wants to incorporate more 

experiences. 

For Sarah, it’s all about 

“keeping up with what 

we’ve been doing.” 

“The pressure is kind 

of off now as far as, if we 

have a bad week, we don’t 

have to go out. Now we 

can simply focus on our 

relationship, because it’s 

grown so much stronger 

over the past year.”

Dining Out 

Grandpa’s Place still growing after 122 years 

Jason Addy 

Contributing Editor 

When the Middletons 

purchased Grandpa’s Place 

in 2003, the family immediately 

got down to work 

modernizing the 106-yearold 

fixture of Glenview’s 

culinary scene. 

They updated the original 

bar area, redid the 

walls, added modern 

touches and built a small 

parlor inside to open up 

some elbow room and 

create a space to host live 

music, said Rory Middleton, 

who runs day-to-day 

operations at Grandpa’s 

with his brother, Kevin, on 

behalf of the family. 

Middleton said his family 

first started looking into 

purchasing the property at 

1868 Prairie St. around 

the turn of the century, 

“but the original owner 

wouldn’t sell it without the 

business,” which started 

as Lang’s before becoming 

Grandpa Rugen’s and 

finally Grandpa’s once the 

Dwyer family moved in 

nearly 50 years ago. 

A decade after taking 

over from the Dwyers, the 

Middletons completed a 

major expansion project at 

Grandpa’s, adding a downstairs 

room for live music 

and private catering, converting 

what was once an 

off-track betting room and 

apartments into an upscale 

space to host corporate and 

family events, and opening 

a patio and second-floor 

terrace for patrons to enjoy 

in the milder months. 

Though Grandpa’s had 

more than a century of 

success under its belt by 

that point, the expansion is 

breathing new life into the 

restaurant and bar by giving 

it a unique “something 

The Reuben ($12.95) sandwich is tender corned beef 

served with homemade Thousand Island dressing, 

sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese on rye bread. 

old, something new vibe,” 

Middleton said. 

“We wanted it to be a 

place where your parents 

can go and remember their 

time when they were your 

age at this bar — because 

it’s that old, it has that 

much history — but at 

the same time make new 

memories for the new generation 

of people that are 

coming in to continue that 

legacy,” Middleton said. 

Though the Middletons 

have drastically revamped 

the establishment that first 

opened in the late 1890s, 

they’ve been careful not 

to change the tried-andtrue 

recipe for success too 

much. 

Grandpa’s menu “has 

grown with age,” Middleton 

said, with the menu 

featuring bar-food staples 

like burgers, sandwiches 

and wings, as well as some 

newer dishes like chicken 

kabobs and calamari. 

“It’s always a matter of 

keeping it local, keeping 

that sense of history, while 

always keeping it relevant,” 

Middleton said, noting 

Grandpa’s gets much 

of its ingredients from local 

shops and producers

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors stopped 

by Grandpa’s last week to 

try out some classics and a 

few “sleeper” dishes flying 

a bit under the radar. 

After a tour of Grandpa’s 

many versatile spaces, 

we tried calamari ($13.95 

for full serving), a dish 

Middleton said people 

always order again after 

trying it once. 

“(The calamari) is better 

than it has any right to be,” 

Middleton joked, adding 

many of the restaurant’s 

recipes are something of 

a mystery as they’ve been 

handed down across the 

generations.

sugar and is a “sleeper” on the menu. Photos by Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media 

The Grandpa Burger ($11.90) is a half-pound burger served on a toasted bun with a 

choice of traditional toppings. 

The simple appetizer 

dish of lightly breaded 

squid is served with cocktail 

sauce and lemons to 

add a little zest. 

Next, we sampled the 

classic Grandpa Burger 

($11.90), a half-pound 

burger served with Merkts 

cheddar cheese and traditional 

toppings on a toasted 

bun, with a side of fries. 

Grandpa’s Reuben sandwich 

($12.95) pairs Harrington’s 

corned beef with 

homemade Thousand Island 

dressing, sauerkraut and 

Swiss cheese on rye bread. 

To cap off the meal, we 

tried Grandpa’s chicken 

kabobs, featuring two 

footlong skewers loaded 

with grilled chicken, onions, 

peppers and tomatoes 

over a bed of rice pilaf 

with a homemade peanut 

dressing on the side.

The Loyola senior recently 

set the record for most 

3-pointers in a game at 

the Naples Shhotout with 

nine. 

When did you start 

playing basketball and 

why? 

I think around third 

grade. My sister played 

and I’ve always looked up 

to her so I probably did it 

to be like her. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a

I always have to make 

a layup before we go into 

our huddle. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

When I was a baby and 

I’d get mad, I would hold 

my breath until I passed 

out. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

Australia, I’ve always 

wanted to go there. It’s 

so pretty and seeing kangaroos 

up close would be 

insane. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

Loyola? 

My AP Environmental 

Science field trips to the 

hill. 

What’s the best part 

about being a Loyola 

athlete? 

Our Christmas tournament 

in Naples. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

Be yourself. When in 

doubt, eat ice cream. 

What’s your favorite 

restaurant and what 

do you get there? 

Portillo’s chopped salad 

and a chocolate cake shake. 

What’s your guilty 

pleasure? 

Dressing my dog up in 

all her outfits. 

If you won a million 

dollars, what would 

you do with it? 

Travel the world with 

my friends. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

I’d be a professional 

wakeboarder.

that one. 

DEAR COACH: Love 

the other stuff, but why 

no coverage of arguably 

Glenview’s greatest claim 

to fame, our beloved 

Wagner Farms? You have 

written about many of the 

other parks and natural 

resources in Glenview, 

why the “pay no mind” 

about our wonderful 

farm? Signed: I’d Rather 

Be Milking A Cow, Than 

Watching Baseball 

Dear Cow Milk Man: 

First of all, on behalf of 

the cow, I hope you milk 

him/her faster than the 

game of baseball moves. 

Secondly, Wagner Farms 

is on my hit list for 2019, 

so stay tuned. 

DEAR COACH: How 

do you beat the winter 

blues? Signed: Stuck In 

A Rut 

DEAR STUCK: I feel 

your pain, bro. Well actually, 

not really. I am writing 

this response letter 

from Florida, so I guess 

that kind of answers your 

question. Add in watching 

basketball, and a new 

season of “This Is Us” 

and I think I can make it 

through. 

DEAR COACH: What 

is one activity or sport 

you haven’t tried yet in 

Glenview that you might 

want to? Signed: Longing 

For New Ventures 

DEAR LONGING: 

Another tough one. I 

have ruled a few out 

recently. Skateboarding 

at Community Park West, 

and trying the climbing 

wall at one of our 

local schools would be 

amongst the forgotten 

goals. Throw spinning 

and Zumba class in that 

same category. What’s 

left? I may join the growing 

numbers of seniors 

playing Pickleball at The 

Park Center weekday 

mornings. That’s just the 

kind of wild and crazy 

guy I am. 

DEAR COACH: I 

have been taking Yoga 

classes in Glenview for 

awhile and really enjoy 

it. It has helped both 

my mental and physical 

well-being. I have gained 

confidence and an all-new 

perspective on life. The 

only problem is, we now 

have a new instructor 

for the class and I have 

developed a serious crush 

on her. Makes it very 

hard for me to concentrate 

on activities at hand. 

I am trying hard to get 

back on track, but so far 

nothing is working. Any 

advice? Signed: In An 

Awkward Position 

DEAR AWKWARD 

POSITION: Oh no you 

don’t. I’m not going 

down that road again. I 

got in trouble with my 

last advice column with 

the kid with a crush on 

his gym teacher. You’re 

on your own here my 

man, but maybe an ice 

cold glass of water and 

a few Kum Ba Yah”s 

before class might help.

Tomasiello represents 

Loyola at sectional meet 

Chris Walker 


Chicago resident Jonathan 

Tomasiello was the 

lone representative for 

Loyola Academy at the 

IHSA sectional meet in 

Woodridge on Saturday, 

Jan. 19, but he represented 

the Ramblers well. 

The freshman scored a 

965 (161 average), which 

included a game high of a 

180. There were seven individuals 

who advanced 

and Tomasiello was 253 

pins off the pace as Argo’s 

Noah Koulouris snagged 

the final qualifier. 

“I thought he did pretty 

well,” Ramblers coach 

Chuck Halfpap said. “He 

only averaged 149 in the 

Chicago Catholic League 

and then had a 175 average 

in the regional so to 

average about a 160 here is 

a pretty good accomplishment.” 

Loyola Academy hasn’t 

qualified a kid to state since 

Tom Madrecki and Jimmy 

Boratyn went in 2006. 

Tomasiello hadn’t 

bowled competitively three 

months ago. 

“I had bowled with my 

dad several times, but 

not competitively,” he 

said. “It’s only been three 

months. I didn’t think I 

was going to be as good as 

I am.” 

He was pretty good on 

Saturday. 

“I felt like I did good, but 

I felt like I could do better,” 

he said. “The goal was to 

average around 200.” 

Ryan Torf didn’t think 

he was going to bowl for 

Glenbrook North. 

But the sophomore got 

his name called for the 

sixth and final game and 

he delivered big-time, firing 

a 227, the team’s thirdhighest 

score of the day and 

enough to lift the Spartans 

to sixth place and qualify 

to the state finals on Jan. 

25-26 at St. Clair Bowl in 

O’Fallon. 

“Everyone was doing 

well the entire tournament 

so I didn’t think I 

was going in,” Torf said. 

“(Coach Todd) Rubin said 

he thought I should go in 

and I think I bowled my 

best game in a while. It was 

very cool.” 

GBN may have only 

been eight pins off the pace 

of fifth-place Notre Dame, 

but Lyons was the team to 

worry about most in the 

end. Only the six teams 

with the highest pin count 

for both rounds in the sectional 

advance to the state 

tournament. Situated in 

sixth place, that meant the 

Spartans had a date at state 

for the third consecutive 

year. For Lyons, it meant it 

was time to turn allow their 

bowling shoes to go into hibernation. 

Even with Torf’s strong 

game, the Spartans still 

only outlasted Lyons by 89 

pins. Lyons actually gained 

295 pins on GBN over the 

course of the final three 

games, but it still wasn’t 

enough to catch them. 

“I was beginning to get 

afraid that we wouldn’t 

make it,” senior Jared Kuper 

said. “Our coach says 

there’s no defense in bowling 

so with one game left I 

told my teammates that this 

could be the end so we have 

to bowl the best game we 

possible can. It was good 

enough and one of our subs 

(Torf), who didn’t bowl the 

entire day, had a 227 and 

brought so much energy to 

the team.” 

Getting to state again 

was far from a given with 

this group. 

“We lost some seniors 

so it was supposed to be 

a down year, but we had 

some guys come in and fill 

those spots,” Kuper said. 

“We saw the scores from 

regionals so we felt like we 

had a good shot of making 

it again but then the lanes 

dried up and it was tough 

to pick up spares toward 

the end of the day. So we 

had to battle through some 

adversity to get to state 

again.” 

Kuper led the Spartans 

with 1,215 pins and was 

followed by Logan Cohn 

(1,168) and Jacob Paterkiewicz 

(1,150) as the 

team’s only three kids to 

compete in all six games. 

Tibor Klein bowled in the 

first five and had a high of 

211 in Game 4 but slipped 

to a 146 in Game 5. Robbie 

Weiland also appeared 

in three games, concluding 

with his game of the day 

in Game 6 with a 202. Eliot 

Kang also fired in three 

games, averaging a 163. 

“I’m so glad to be able 

to go back for a third year,” 

Kuper said. “This team was 

a little iffy and we’ve been 

up and down, but I feel 

we’ve come together and 

now have another shot at it. 

I want to go out with a bang 

and we’ve never gotten to 

Saturday’s final before.” 

New Trier was more than 

400 pins off the pace of 

Glenbrook North, placing 

eighth with a 5,269.

Boys Basketball 

Tired Ramblers can't keep up 

Media Podz knows digital content 

Casey Bannon, Freelance Reporter 

Some coaches like to dive straight into 

the film after a tough loss. Others like to 

throw it away. 

Loyola head coach Tom Livatino says 

he’ll be opting for the latter after his 

team's 38-29 loss to the Saint Viator Lions 

at Evanston on Saturday, Jan. 19. 

“I just think we look exhausted,” Livatino 

said. “And that’s not to make any excuses, 

[Saint Viator] played great, but we 

look tired out there.” 

Playing their seventh game already in 

January, which followed a four-game 

Florida trip to end December, the grindit-out 

Rambler offense managed little of 

anything against the Lions. Junior forward 

Bennett Kwiecinski knocked down a pair 

of free throws with less than a minute remaining 

to become the only Loyola scorer 

in double digits for the night. Quinn Pemberton 

chipped in with seven. 

After holding Saint Viator (16-4, 3-1 

ESCC) to only two points in the second 

quarter, the Ramblers (16-6, 6-3 CCL) 

headed into halftime trailing 16-14 before 

scoring only two points of their own in the 

third quarter. 

Just a night prior, the offense failed to 

make a three-pointer and managed only 

38 points in a victory against St. Joseph. 

Rather than panic, they will attempt to reset. 

“We’ve been scoring the ball well all 

year,” Livatino said. “I just think we need 

to take some time away.” 

For all of the offensive struggles, there 

were equal positives on the defensive end. 

Jordan Kwiecinski, with help defense 

from his twin brother Bennett, held Lion’s 

senior guard and Kent State commit Jeremiah 

Hernandez to 13 points — and only 

4 in the second half. 

This is only the fourth game that Hernandez 

has played without his backcourt 

mate Treyvon Calvin. Calvin, a senior captain 

and Wright State recruit, broke his left 

hand while high-fiving a teammate earlier 

this month but is expected to be back by 

the playoffs. The Lions are now 2-2 without 

their leading scorer. In the interim, junior 

guard Connor Kochera picked up the 

slack with a game-high 15 points — 14 of 

those coming in the second half. 

“I actually thought our kids did a really 

good job picking up on the things we 

Loyola Academy boys basketball player 

Connor Barrett drives past a St. Viator 

player on Saturday, Jan. 19, in Evanston. 

Tracy Allen/22nd Century Media 

wanted to do defensively,” Livatino said. 

“That is a very good team and I think 

they’re going to have a nice run later this 

year.” 

Trailing by eight heading into the 

fourth, the Ramblers attempted to speed 

up a patient Lions offense with full court 

pressure. After creating a few turnovers 

with a 1-3-1 trap, and adding a 3-pointer 

from junior guard William Pujals, the 

Ramblers had a chance to make it a twopossession 

game with just under two minutes 

remaining. Hernandez would have 

other ideas, however, as he plucked the 

ball from a stumbling Pujals and took it 

the other way for a two-hand dunk to end 

any hopes of a Rambler comeback. 

The game was the second of three 

played at Beardsley Gymnasium on Saturday, 

as part of the 9th Annual War on 

the Shore. All proceeds from the shootout 

will go to the Danny Did foundation — a 

nonprofit which raises awareness to fight 

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. 

Coming into Saturday night, the Ramblers 

had won nine of their last 10 games 

after starting 7-4. They will look to get 

back to their winning ways against De La 

Salle this coming Friday. 

“I’m not concerned,” Livatino said. “I 

think we’re going to play really well [on 

Friday].” 

When asked if his kids will get a day off 

tomorrow, Livatino laughed. 

“Two days off, actually,” he said holding 

up two fingers.

at conference meet 

Gary Larsen 


Glenbrook South wrestler Will Collins competes at the 

Central Suburban League conference meet on Saturday, 

Jan. 19, in Winnetka. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

Not many could find 

Glenbrook South freshman 

Will Collins listed 

on either of Illinois’ top 

rankings lists — at Illinois 

Matmen or Illinois Best 

Weekly — but odds are 

Collins won’t be a secret 

for much longer. 

Collins improved to 

32-1 and dominated the 

CSL field at 138 pounds, 

posting three pins on his 

way to winning his first 

Central Suburban League 

title on Saturday, Jan. 19, 

in Winnetka. No wrestler 

made it into the third period 

with the freshman, who 

pinned Deerfield’s Troy 

Mock in 55 seconds on the 

title mat. 

Afterwards, Titans 

coach Pat Castillo spoke 

to Collins’ competitive nature. 

“With some of these 

guys it doesn’t matter 

if they’re playing video 

games, tic-tac-toe, or 

checkers,” Castillo said, 

“If they lose at anything, it 

burns.” 

“Will’s a competitor. He 

doesn’t want to lose, no 

matter what we’re doing. 

Whether it’s an assistant 

coach or I’m going with 

him (in practice), he wants 

to wrestle a hundred percent 

and not hold back.” 

Collins’ three pins were 

no accident. 

“I told (Castillo) I wanted 

three pins and I was 

able to get them,” Collins 

said. “All I want to do is 

win — football, wrestling, 

anything. That mostly 

comes from my dad encouraging 

me to go after it, 

every single day, and from 

my coaches.” 

The Titans got a second 

memorable performance 

from junior KP Santos 

(26-10), who provided the 

high-drama moment of 

the tournament. Trailing 

Niles West’s Omar Abbas 

by a point on the title 

mat at 106, Santos earned 

a takedown with less than 

a second remaining in the 

match to win an 8-7 decision. 

Trailing by a point with 

10 seconds remaining is no 

place a wrestler wants to 

be but Santos stayed calm 

and did what he’s been 

taught. 

“Stick to the basics. We 

work on them every day,” 

Santos said. “Thank god 

we do that because if I 

didn’t stick to my basics 

in that situation, I don’t 

know what would have 

happened in that last ten 

seconds.” 

It was the first CSL 

title of the junior’s career 

and the accomplishment 

wasn’t lost on him.

from this meet, visit 

GlenviewLantern.com. 

Glenbrook South recently 

posted a wrestling record 

board in the school that 

lists accomplishments of 

past wrestlers, and Santos’ 

name will now be added. 

“I was really working towards 

that,” Santos said. “I 

really wanted my name on 

the board. I look up there 

every day and see all those 

names of people who’ve 

done amazing things for 

the program. I wanted my 

name up there for people 

to see and to use me as inspiration.” 

Santos’ title was particularly 

impressive considering 

how much distance 

he has covered in a short 

amount of time. 

“KP Santos only started 

wrestling a year ago,” Castillo 

said. “He came in with 

the right mindset, along 

with some natural ability

Despite the fact the calendar 

year has now turned 

to 2019, 2018 still has a 

little bit missing from it. 

On fields of play all over 

the North Shore last year, 

student-athletes soared to 

new heights, and in many 

cases, took their team along 

for the ride. 22nd Century 

Media was following the 

action with its seven North 

Shore publications and 

websites, documenting the 

moments of glory as well 

as the agony of defeat. 

Along the way, every 

week, papers like our 

Glenview Lantern selected 

and interviewed a worthy 

Athlete of the Week. At 

the end of the month, all 

Athletes of the Week from 

the seven newspapers were 

pitted against one another 

in the popular Athlete of 

the Month competition, for 

which residents decide the 

result by voting for their 

favorite athlete online. 

At year’s end, there are 

12 winners, and we’re not 

done just yet. Those 12 

winners — along with six 

at-large contenders selected 

by 22CM staffers — are 

about to vie for the ultimate 

title: 22nd Century 

Titans girls swimmer Emsela Orucevic won the honor in 

October. 

Media Athlete of the Year. 

The Athlete of the Year 

competition is a two-week 

online voting contest that 

began at noon Saturday, 

Jan. 26, at GlenviewLantern.com, 

as well as the 

company’s six other North 

Shore websites. 

Fans can vote daily for 

their favorite student-athlete 

until 5 p.m. on Feb. 9. 

To avoid voting spam and 

abuse, we have restricted 

the votes to one per IP address 

per day with a special 

feature to ensure votes are 

being made by humans. If 

votes are proven illegitimate, 

they will be discarded 

and the beneficiary of 

the fraudulent votes may 

be disqualified. 

A winner will be announced 

in the Feb. 14 issue
