Glencoe Village Board<br />

Budget, appropriation ordinance OK’d for 2020<br />

Todd Marver<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

At its first meeting of the<br />

year, the Glencoe Village<br />

Board unanimously adopted<br />

the fiscal year 2020<br />

budget and appropriation<br />

ordinance at its Thursday,<br />

Jan. 17 meeting.<br />

Fiscal year 2020 runs<br />

from March 1, 2019<br />

to February 29, 2020.<br />

The budget totals $33.4<br />

million.<br />

“The budget ordinance<br />

is the result of a six-month<br />

long extensive review of<br />

proposed expenditures<br />

including several public<br />

meetings that happened<br />

in November and December,”<br />

finance director<br />

Nikki Larson said.<br />

The annual appropriation<br />

ordinance is required<br />

by statute and sets the legal<br />

maximum spending<br />

limits for the Village for<br />

the coming fiscal year.<br />

The board was required<br />

to conduct a public hearing<br />

before adopting the<br />

appropriation ordinance,<br />

although no member of the<br />

public spoke.<br />

The appropriation<br />

amount represents the<br />

budgeted amount plus 10<br />

percent, which accounts<br />

for possible changes to<br />

planned expenditures that<br />

may take place in a given<br />

year.<br />

The ordinance provides<br />

the Village with the ability<br />

to spend up to 110 percent<br />

of the budget. However,<br />

the board’s approval of<br />

the ordinance does not<br />

ROUND IT UP<br />

A brief recap of Village<br />

Board action Jan. 17<br />

• An ordinance<br />

was approved<br />

disconnecting 1311<br />

Scott Ave. from the<br />

Village of Glencoe<br />

subject to annexation<br />

to the Village of<br />

Winnetka.<br />

• The board OK’d a<br />

resolution approving a<br />

professional services<br />

agreement for financial<br />

advisor services with<br />

Speer Financial, Inc.<br />

authorize any expenditures<br />

that would require approval<br />

from a department head<br />

or the Village Manager or<br />

Village Board. The appropriation<br />

ordinance eliminates<br />

the need for specific<br />

budget amendments during<br />

the course of the fiscal<br />

year.<br />

The budget includes<br />

$25.891 million in total<br />

spending across the Village’s<br />

operational funds<br />

(which include the General<br />

Fund, Water Fund, Motor<br />

Fuel Tax Fund, Bond<br />

Construction Fund and<br />

Debt Service Fund). Operational<br />

fund revenues<br />

total $24.280 million. The<br />

difference between revenues<br />

and expenditures<br />

is accounted for with a<br />

planned $1.6 million onetime<br />

drawdown in the<br />

General Fund to pay for<br />

infrastructure and equipment<br />

necessary in the<br />

community and planned<br />

for as a part of the Village’s<br />

long-term Community<br />

Improvement<br />

Program. The budget includes<br />

a total increase<br />

in General Fund operating<br />

expenditures of 2.8<br />

percent and a 3.9 percent<br />

increase in revenues.<br />

“This does include a<br />

significant capital investment,”<br />

Larson said. “On<br />

its surface, it does appear<br />

that the expenditures are<br />

larger than the revenues.<br />

However, when you do dig<br />

into the detailed line item<br />

of the operating budget,<br />

our operating revenues are<br />

more than covering the<br />

operating expenditures.”<br />

The budget additionally<br />

consists of mandated<br />

funding for the Police<br />

Pension Fund totaling<br />

$1.84 million, a 16.2<br />

percent increase from<br />

the overall contribution<br />

in fiscal year 2019, and<br />

wage increases of 2.5<br />

percent for Public Safety<br />

union employees and all<br />

non-union employees.<br />

The property tax levy is<br />

anticipated to increase<br />

approximately 2.1 percent<br />

or $278,755 in fiscal<br />

year 2020 from the fiscal<br />

year 2019 extended levy<br />

(excluding the levy related<br />

to debt service payments).<br />

However, when<br />

accounting for retirement<br />

of the Village’s Series<br />

2009 bonds, the Village’s<br />

total tax levy is actually<br />

decreasing by 1.6 percent<br />

in fiscal year 2020.<br />

Glencoe gyms offer special<br />

promotions in the new year<br />

Jennifer Bennett<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

It’s that time of year<br />

when New Year’s resolutions<br />

seem to stare us in the<br />

face.<br />

For many folks, getting<br />

fit and staying healthy are<br />

often goals that seem to<br />

come and go rather quickly.<br />

However, with two of<br />

Glencoe’s top-notch exercise<br />

facilities, Unify Fitness<br />

and Glencoe Fitness<br />

offering great health incentives<br />

for the New Year,<br />

committing to a healthier<br />

lifestyle in 2019 has never<br />

been easier.<br />

Located at 664 Vernon<br />

Ave. in downtown Glencoe,<br />

Unify Fitness opened<br />

in August 2018. A health<br />

enthusiast since a very<br />

young age, co-founder of<br />

Unify, Melissa Delporte,<br />

has been involved in the fitness<br />

industry for more than<br />

20 years.<br />

“Unify is about offering<br />

a variety of workouts tailored<br />

to meet every fitness<br />

goal and individual need,”<br />

Delporte said. “We offer<br />

personal training, semi<br />

private, small group, mat<br />

Pilates, reformer Pilates,<br />

boxing, boxing boot camp,<br />

kids performance training,<br />

kids athletic training, sport<br />

specific training, mace club<br />

training and more.”<br />

All are welcome at<br />

Unify, although it is not a<br />

membership-based gym.<br />

“Memberships are offered<br />

to clients and local<br />

businesses on a private<br />

scale,” Delporte said. “For<br />

the new year, we are offering<br />

new clients two personal<br />

training sessions for<br />

$99.”<br />

Erin Classen, the superintendent<br />

for marketing<br />

has enjoyed the variety of<br />

classes Glencoe Fitness is<br />

able to offer its members.<br />

“We currently offer gentle<br />

flow yoga, moving with<br />

weights, rowing, dance, interval<br />

training and more,”<br />

she said. “In the summer,<br />

we also offer outdoor fitness<br />

classes at Glencoe<br />

Beach.”<br />

Glencoe Fitness is open<br />

to the public for a fee; however,<br />

residents of Glencoe<br />

can appreciate a discounted<br />

rate. The club offers a variety<br />

of memberships including<br />

discounts for seniors,<br />

students and families. And<br />

while the club is open to<br />

everyone, the “boutique<br />

feel” that accompanies<br />

the facility continues to be<br />

a strong attraction to the<br />

center, Classen said.<br />

Classen also stated the<br />

gym is running several promotions<br />

to help motivate<br />

their patrons to stay healthy<br />

in the new year.<br />

“We have 19 healthy<br />

habits in 2019 challenge<br />

new healthy habit each day<br />

for 19 days for the chance<br />

the foreseeable future. Best<br />

practices in coyote management<br />

suggest encouraging<br />

coexistence through public<br />

education, while also promoting<br />

ways to help limit<br />

coyote habituation. The Urban<br />

Coyote Research Project<br />

reports that number one<br />

most effective way to prevent<br />

coyote encounters is<br />

to remove their food source<br />

in domestic areas (i.e. only<br />

feed your pets inside, do<br />

not feed wildlife).<br />

For the past several years,<br />

the Public Safety Department<br />

has worked closely<br />

with the Illinois Department<br />

of Natural Resources,<br />

Cook County Forest Preserve<br />

District and Cook<br />

County Department of Animal<br />

and Rabies Control to<br />

understand and address the<br />

behavior of coyotes. While<br />

aggressive behavior does<br />

occur from time-to-time,<br />

studies indicate that there<br />

have been no reported coyote<br />

attacks on humans in<br />

Illinois in over 30 years. In<br />

Glencoe specifically, there<br />

have been two confirmed<br />

coyote attacks on dogs over<br />

the course of the last 10<br />

years and in both instances,<br />

the dogs were either left<br />

unattended or unleashed.<br />

A full list of tips to prevent<br />

coyote encounters<br />

residents are online. Here<br />

are several:<br />

Always walk your dog<br />

on a leash and keep cats<br />

indoors. Feed your pets inside.<br />

Do not keep pet food<br />

outdoors where it might<br />

attract coyotes or other<br />

wildlife. Pick up fallen<br />

fruit from trees and cover<br />

compost.<br />

If you experience problems<br />

with coyotes, see<br />

them in your neighborhood,<br />

regarding coyotes or have<br />

other animal related concerns,<br />

Change in ownership breathes<br />

new energy into Reach Yoga<br />

Downtown Glencoe<br />

studio to have<br />

new family, tween,<br />

music classes<br />

Christine Adams<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Reach Yoga has a new<br />

owner, though not an unfamiliar<br />

one.<br />

Veteran yoga teacher<br />

Laura Merlo, of Glencoe,<br />

took ownership last month<br />

and is already putting her<br />

mark on the longstanding<br />

studio.<br />

Attendees and passersby<br />

may have noticed the updated<br />

logo and signage, and<br />

the newly branded merchandise<br />

in the window,<br />

reflective of the fresh, new<br />

energy Merlo is bringing<br />

to the downtown Glencoe<br />

yoga studio.<br />

While the appearance of<br />

Reach has been updated,<br />

Merlo is intent on leaving<br />

other aspects of the studio,<br />

such as the schedule and<br />

the teachers, just as they<br />

were.<br />

When former owner<br />

Dani Petrie was ready to<br />

sell, Merlo referred to her<br />

decision to take ownership<br />

as a “no-brainer.”<br />

“(It was) an offer I<br />

couldn’t refuse,” she said.<br />

“I knew I could do it.”<br />

Before teaching yoga,<br />

Merlo had owned a boutique<br />

that she had built<br />

from the ground up in Chicago,<br />

so running a business<br />

is not an entirely new endeavor<br />

for her. And though<br />

she never planned on becoming<br />

a yoga teacher<br />

— let alone the owner of<br />

a studio — Merlo felt that<br />

with her experience and<br />

the timing, and the fact that<br />

Petrie would be leaving her<br />

a smoothly running studio<br />

Laura Merlo, of Glencoe, is the new owner of Reach<br />

Yoga, 688 Vernon Ave., Glencoe. Photos Submitted<br />

in good condition, it was<br />

something she had to give<br />

a try.<br />

As a Glencoe resident,<br />

Merlo is appreciative of the<br />

strong sense of community<br />

at Reach, which she attributes<br />

to the studio’s inviting<br />

environment that welcomes<br />

practitioners regardless of<br />

age or experience.<br />

“There’s a yoga class for<br />

everybody,” said Merlo,<br />

reminding that yoga is<br />

not just about the physical<br />

movements of the practice,<br />

but it also focuses on yogi<br />

philosophy and inwardlooking<br />

meditation.<br />

As she looks to Reach’s<br />

future, some special events<br />

Merlo is hoping to offer include<br />

family and “tween”-<br />

age classes (Merlo and her<br />

husband have a 10 year-old<br />

daughter and a 9 year-old<br />

son, making Merlo keenly<br />

aware of the abilities and<br />

interests of the age group),<br />

and music sessions.<br />

Despite the new plans,<br />

most aspects of Reach are<br />

unchanged, such as the studio<br />

itself, a spacious and<br />

incense-scented room in<br />

the rear part of the building.<br />

A glass door still separates<br />

the space for yoga practice<br />

from the front of the store,<br />

an airy blue-and-gray room<br />

with a greeter at the front<br />

desk and a boutique for<br />

shopping.<br />

The boutique’s items<br />

complement the yoga lifestyle.<br />

A small refrigerator<br />

is fully stocked with protein<br />

bowls, soups, salads and<br />

smoothies from The Bread<br />

and Buddha Kitchen; yogis<br />

and window-shoppers can<br />

buy a healthy prepared food<br />

at the swipe-and-go station.<br />

The store also sells<br />

soaps, scrubs, oils and<br />

cleaners from Handcrafted<br />

Wellness, as well as the<br />

gear one would typically<br />

expect to find in a yoga studio,<br />

such as mats, clothing<br />

and water bottles.<br />

Open seven days a week,<br />

and six of those days beginning<br />

at 6 a.m., the studio is<br />

an active part of Glencoe’s<br />

Vernon Avenue strip. In addition<br />

to scheduled classes,<br />

the space is also available<br />

for private classes and<br />

events.<br />

Merlo reflected on her<br />

new tenure as the owner, as<br />

well as what has kept her<br />

coming to teach at Reach<br />

for the better part of a<br />

decade.<br />

“I like that 99 percent<br />

of the time, people leave<br />

happy,” she said. “It’s great<br />

that we can provide that.”<br />

patrons to ‘stay optimistic’<br />

Alexa Burnell, Freelance Reporter<br />

Just in time for Valentine’s Day<br />

next month, the Glencoe Library is<br />

helping local singles find “the one.”<br />

Those vowing to find love in 2019<br />

learned valuable dating tips Jan. 16 at<br />

the Glencoe Public Library from Chicago-based<br />

dating expert and Glenbrook<br />

South graduate Bela Gandhi.<br />

Gandhi is a consultant for Match.<br />

com and the founder of Smart Dating<br />

Academy. She’s given advice on<br />

“Good Morning America” and “The<br />

Today Show,” and has been called<br />

“the fairy godmother of dating” by<br />

Steve Harvey and The Huffington<br />

Post.<br />

In Gandhi’s presentation, “Fine-<br />

Tune Your Online Dating Profile,”<br />

Glencoe Library attendees were encouraged<br />

to embrace “psychotic optimism,”<br />

believing that no matter what,<br />

love exists.<br />

“Finding love is not about ‘if,’ it’s<br />

about ‘when,’” Gandhi said. “You<br />

have to believe it will happen for you<br />

and stay positive no matter what. It’s<br />

easy to get down if you don’t hear<br />

back from someone you are interested<br />

in, but tonight you’ll learn strategies<br />

that will help keep your options open<br />

and help you stay optimistic.”<br />

Gandhi’s talk came at the perfect<br />

time, seeing that peak dating season<br />

runs from Dec. 26-Feb. 15, she said.<br />

This is the period of time when people<br />

become most committed to finding<br />

love, often turning to the internet<br />

for help.<br />

“There are many ways to meet<br />

someone; through a set-up, as well as<br />

offline and online,” she added. “As<br />

you can imagine, online dating has<br />

rapidly increased over the years, with<br />

sites like Match.com, Bumble, Tinder<br />

and others coming onto the scene. My<br />

recommendation is to try one site at a<br />

time for 30 days and see how it feels<br />

before committing or investing too<br />

much money or time.”<br />

Gandhi reported, 107 million people<br />

are single, according to the U.S.<br />

Census, making the task of standing<br />

out online a challenge that requires<br />

the right approach. She began a<br />

Bela Gandhi, a Chicago-based dating expert, presented “Fine-Tune Your<br />

Online Dating Profile” on Jan. 16 at the Glencoe Library. Alexa Burnell/22nd<br />

Century Media<br />

discussion on profile photos first.<br />

“I recommend five to six photos<br />

that capture different looks or showcase<br />

your interests and hobbies,”<br />

she said. “The photos must be taken<br />

within the last year, and when possible,<br />

use professional shots because<br />

they are proven to gain more attention.<br />

You need one opening headshot<br />

and about two full-body shots. Make<br />

eye contact in the photo, look happy<br />

and confident. The goal is to establish<br />

trust and exude confidence and optimism.<br />

Do not include others in your<br />

photos — just you; this is your time<br />

to shine, individually.”<br />

Gandhi also discussed content, explaining<br />

that a website will give more<br />

space, while on an app, users will be<br />

forced to keep their verbiage to 200<br />

words or less.<br />

“Don’t make it too long or too<br />

short. Don’t be negative. For example,<br />

avoid saying things like, ‘I’m not<br />

looking for players,’ which will make<br />

you sound like you have some baggage<br />

from the past,” she added. “Include<br />

a few conversation starters like<br />

the type of philanthropy work that<br />

most inspires you or talk about a trip<br />

that you loved. The goal is to weave a<br />

tapestry of yourself, giving the reader<br />

enough information to be intrigued to<br />

want to learn more.”<br />

As far as approach, Gandhi said,<br />

“you need a lot of horses to make<br />

it around the track,” meaning one<br />

should date, a lot. She recommended<br />

messaging three to seven people per<br />

day, and reminded folks that out of<br />

every 10 messages sent, expect only<br />

one response.<br />

Gandhi’s advice to date many people<br />

at one time brought surprise to<br />

many attendees faces, but she quickly<br />

made clarifications about waiting to<br />

be intimate.<br />

“When you have a lot of suitors to<br />

choose from,” she said, “you become<br />

more confident and selective, leading<br />

you one step closer to finding the<br />

right fit for you.”<br />

Lastly, Gandhi suggested giving<br />

people a chance, and don’t give up if<br />

sparks don’t fly immediately.<br />

“We are programmed to believe<br />

that when we find the love of our<br />

lives, we’ll know right away; time<br />

will stand still, music will start playing<br />

and everything else will be disappear<br />

but the love between the two of<br />

you,” Gandhi said, jokingly. “But in<br />

reality, it can take five or six dates to<br />

really get to know if someone could<br />

be the one. We have to leave the Amazon<br />

Prime mentality at the door, understanding<br />

that love won’t simply be<br />

delivered at our doorsteps overnight.<br />

Relationships take time — this is a<br />

marathon, not a sprint.”

Reading club celebrated with man-made, 8-foot spaceship<br />

Hilary Anderson<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

A unique spaceship has landed<br />

at the Glencoe Library. It is<br />

on display for all to see on the<br />

library’s second floor in the<br />

Children’s Department.<br />

The unusual item is the creative<br />

genius of Glencoe librarian<br />

Susan Schober.<br />

“It is called Spaceship WRC,”<br />

said Finstad, head of Glencoe<br />

Library’s Children’s Department.<br />

“The WRC stands for the<br />

library’s Winter Reading Club,<br />

which is space-themed this year.”<br />

The spaceship is made out of<br />

450 egg cartons and stands eight<br />

feet high and is six feet in diameter.<br />

Last year, Schober used<br />

empty milk jugs to create an igloo.<br />

This year, she collected all<br />

sizes of empty egg cartons from<br />

the community, all recyclable<br />

items.<br />

Schober was able to find plans<br />

online for the igloo but this year<br />

• Overnight Camps<br />

• Sports Camps and more!<br />

she had to use her ingenuity to<br />

build this space ship for the<br />

library’s Winter Reading Club.<br />

“She worked with Emily Fogle,<br />

another Glencoe children’s<br />

librarian,” Finstad said. “They<br />

used paper for the base, plastic<br />

for the window and tip of<br />

the nosecone and foam for the<br />

nosecone itself.”<br />

The inside of the spaceship<br />

has actual LED lights that can<br />

turn on and off.<br />

Schober and Fogle together<br />

spent about 20 hours building<br />

the spaceship and used about 10<br />

pounds of hot glue to make the<br />

egg cartons stick together.<br />

“We have had four or five kids<br />

play in there at a time depending<br />

on their size,” Finstad said.<br />

“There is a plastic lentil at the<br />

top of the entrance to support the<br />

top of the door frame.”<br />

She added the two fin-like<br />

structures on the outside of the<br />

space ship are created from cardboard,<br />

foil and duct tape.<br />

• 10 pounds hot glue<br />

• 20 hours to build<br />

“Adults can enter and stand up<br />

in it but have to bend down and<br />

crawl through the opening,” Finstad<br />

added. “It is a creative play<br />

space, like a child’s very own<br />

home. It is so cool.”<br />

Schober already is looking at<br />

what she can make for next winter’s<br />

reading club using ordinary,<br />

recyclable items from around the<br />

house.<br />

The egg carton space ship still<br />

is holding up well, according to<br />

Finstad.<br />

“All the hot glue they used<br />

probably is what made it last so<br />

long,” she said. “We hope it will<br />

remain standing through the first<br />

week of February when the Winter<br />

Reading Book Club ends.”<br />

New Trier Fine Arts Association supports student, alumni collaboration<br />

Submitted by New Trier<br />

When New Trier students<br />

take classes in the<br />

fine arts, they can expect<br />

exceptional instruction<br />

alongside like-minded and<br />

talented peers. To enhance<br />

their experiences and give<br />

current students concrete<br />

examples of how to bridge<br />

high school arts experiences<br />

with real world ones, the<br />

New Trier Fine Arts Association<br />

works to assist faculty<br />

members in bringing<br />

in alumni artists to initiate<br />

partnerships with students.<br />

This past fall, Yoshihiko<br />

Nakano ’06, a professional<br />

cellist with the Chamber<br />

Orchestra of Philadelphia,<br />

returned to his alma mater.<br />

Over the course of two<br />

days, he worked with 250<br />

orchestra students, providing<br />

a “powerful experience<br />

for current students<br />

because they get to interact<br />

with someone who walked<br />

in their shoes who has had<br />

great success as a professional<br />

musician,” Orchestra<br />

Director Peter Rosheger<br />

said. “The immediacy of<br />

such an encounter brings<br />

a concrete sense to the<br />

current student of what is<br />

possible.”<br />

In addition to clinical<br />

instruction, Nakano<br />

also joined members of<br />

the New Trier Symphony<br />

and Concert Orchestras in<br />

performance. Both experiences<br />

enriched students’<br />

music understanding while<br />

giving the rare opportunity<br />

to collaborate with a homegrown<br />

yet world-class<br />

professional.<br />

According to sophomore<br />

violinist Golda Harris, the<br />

experience taught the musicians<br />

to really listen to all<br />

the parts involved. Sophomore<br />

violinist Evie Tanaka<br />

also noted how Mr. Nakano’s<br />

nurturing personality<br />

helped the transition in<br />

the collaboration process, a<br />

sentiment repeated by other<br />

students who felt that Mr.<br />

Nakano fostered a feeling<br />

of support that encouraged<br />

their enthusiasm.<br />

“It was a special experience<br />

to come back to New<br />

Trier and share my passion<br />

with the students and community,”<br />

Nakano said. “It<br />

is my hope that the students<br />

felt the experience to be<br />

one of genuine collaboration<br />

and inspiration; It was<br />

amazing to feel the energy<br />

of the students, and it reaffirmed<br />

the importance of<br />

the life-changing opportunities<br />

that the arts provide.”<br />

In addition to his role<br />

with the Chamber Orchestra<br />

of Philadelphia, Nakano<br />

conducts clinics with New<br />

Teinowitz has staged professional<br />

in Ahmedabad, India.<br />

“I decided I wanted to<br />

Trier that I loved theatre<br />

dance in particular,”<br />

New Trier club bring STEM to<br />

younger North Shore students<br />

Submitted by New Trier<br />

Students in New Trier’s<br />

Society of Women in Engineering,<br />

Entrepreneurship,<br />

Technology and Science<br />

have been sharing<br />

their love of those subjects<br />

with elementary-aged students<br />

this year through<br />

a series of fun, hands-on<br />

events. The club, also<br />

known as Sweets, is designed<br />

for girls to “do<br />

STEM, talk STEM, and<br />

encourage STEM.”<br />

“In science class at<br />

school, learning can be<br />

very directed; The teachers<br />

give you a lab with a<br />

question to answer, and<br />

you answer it,” junior<br />

Talia Schacht said. “At<br />

Sweets club, we get to ask<br />

our own questions and try<br />

different things to find the<br />

answer. I love that curiosity<br />

is encouraged because<br />

that’s the best way to foster<br />

a love of learning.”<br />

On Nov. 17, Sweets participated<br />

in “Science Saturday”<br />

at Dawes Elementary<br />

School, a partnership<br />

that began several years<br />

ago when a New Trier<br />

faculty member started<br />

organizing the event for<br />

her own children who attend<br />

the Evanston school.<br />

Club members organized<br />

two sessions for Dawes<br />

students spanning kindergarten<br />

through fifth grade,<br />

each involving hands-on<br />

science demonstrations<br />

and activities designed to<br />

engage the young learners.<br />

“I really liked seeing<br />

how much joy we brought<br />

to the kids when we<br />

showed them everything,”<br />

said junior Bridget Boyle,<br />

who helped plan the itinerary<br />

for Science Saturday.<br />

“You could see the interest<br />

spark in their eyes, and it’s<br />

Sweets Club members assist a visiting girl scout in<br />

building an effective marble track. Photo Submitted<br />

really sweet to know that<br />

you’re actually making an<br />

impact.”<br />

To start the day, club<br />

members presented a<br />

demonstration using “elephant<br />

toothpaste,” which<br />

produces a foamy substance<br />

that looks similar<br />

to toothpaste coming out<br />

of a tube. By using yeast<br />

as a catalyst, the exothermic<br />

reaction is caused by<br />

the rapid decomposition of<br />

hydrogen peroxide. Other<br />

activities included experimenting<br />

with dry ice and<br />

creating “oobleck” in a<br />

bag, a fluid that acts like a<br />

liquid when being poured,<br />

but like a solid when force<br />

is acting on it.<br />

“Being all girls, our students<br />

also act as excellent<br />

role models for the younger<br />

girls in the audience,” said<br />

New Trier science faculty<br />

member Bill Loris, who<br />

co-sponsors Sweets. “The<br />

elementary kids’ parents<br />

were also very engaged<br />

in the activities, asking<br />

the girls many questions<br />

on the side. To be honest,<br />

I’m not sure who enjoyed<br />

the event more, the Dawes<br />

students or the Sweets club<br />

members.”<br />

At another event on Dec.<br />

10, Sweets hosted a Girl<br />

Scout troop from Sears<br />

School in Kenilworth<br />

at New Trier’s Winnetka<br />

Campus, where they<br />

helped the girl scouts earn<br />

their Balloon Car badge.<br />

The troop broke into small<br />

groups and rotated through<br />

three stations, each with<br />

a separate activity. To<br />

earn their badges, the Girl<br />

Scouts built cars out of<br />

small cardboard boxes that<br />

were propelled forward<br />

by balloons attached to<br />

straws. They also used kits<br />

to build tracks for marbles<br />

and even participated in a<br />

challenge to see who could<br />

build the tallest tower out<br />

of spaghetti and marshmallows.<br />

“I absolutely adored<br />

working with the younger<br />

girls and seeing how excited<br />

they were about engineering.<br />

Their love of<br />

learning is so inspiring,”<br />

Schacht said. “Each one<br />

of their successes, whether<br />

that was building a really<br />

tall structure or having a<br />

balloon car run really far,<br />

felt like a success for me<br />

too. I couldn’t stop smiling.<br />

It was amazing to<br />

feel like we were inspiring<br />

the next generation of<br />

strong girls interested in<br />

STEM, like us.”<br />

Sons of Silent Age concert raises<br />

funds for Kellogg Cancer Center<br />

New Trier alum<br />

Michael Shannon<br />

guest appears<br />

Erin Yarnall<br />

Contributing Editor<br />

When patients are initially<br />

diagnosed with cancer,<br />

their first thoughts are<br />

typically centering around<br />

their treatment. But once<br />

treatment has started, another<br />

focus is on how to<br />

feel better while receiving<br />

the treatments.<br />

That’s where NorthShore<br />

University HealthSystem’s<br />

Integrative Medicine team<br />

comes in.<br />

Their goal is to help patients<br />

feel better while receiving<br />

these treatments,<br />

and to help fund this,<br />

they’ve teamed up with<br />

the band Sons of the Silent<br />

Age, and received proceeds<br />

from the band’s Jan.<br />

12 concert at the Metro in<br />

Chicago.<br />

The proceeds from the<br />

concert go toward acupuncture<br />

and massage treatments<br />

for cancer patients at<br />

the Kellogg Cancer Center<br />

in Highland Park.<br />

“We were struggling<br />

with patients, who, we<br />

wanted them to get acupuncture,<br />

massage and<br />

treatments that are not covered<br />

by insurance,” said Dr.<br />

Leslie Mendoza Temple, a<br />

specialist with NorthShore<br />

University HealthSystem<br />

who is based in Glenview.<br />

Actor Michael Shannon,<br />

an alum of New Trier High<br />

School, was a special guest<br />

at the event, performing in<br />

character as Lou Reed. He<br />

was also the band’s special<br />

guest in 2018, performing<br />

as Iggy Pop.<br />

“He’s amazing because<br />

Posing together (left to right) Dr. Leslie Mendoza<br />

singer of Sons of the Silent Age and drummer Matt<br />

Walker at the Metro in Chicago. Photo Submitted<br />

he’s an actor,” Temple said<br />

of Shannon’s guest performance.<br />

“It’s like you’re<br />

watching a theatrical performance<br />

of someone absolutely<br />

being Lou Reed.<br />

Last year he was Iggy Pop,<br />

and none of us knew what<br />

to expect. The shirt came<br />

off and the writhing on the<br />

stage happened, and there<br />

was Iggy Pop.”<br />

Through fundraising, the<br />

hospital has been able to<br />

donate treatments to “hundreds”<br />

of patients, according<br />

to Temple. For each<br />

person who receives a donation,<br />

they receive six free<br />

treatments, with a value of<br />

approximately $500.<br />

“It’s just so nice to see<br />

people feel better,” Temple<br />

said. “This is what you<br />

do when you want to help<br />

people and not wait for<br />

mountains to move. You<br />

give it away, but you’ve got<br />

to raise the money to help<br />

support the basic cost and<br />

the infrastructure of that, so<br />

we love giving this away.”<br />

The Jan. 12 concert was<br />

the team’s third fundraiser<br />

concert. Its first, in 2010,<br />

featured Billy Corgan of<br />

The Smashing Pumpkins<br />

performing at La Salle<br />

Power Company, a former<br />

venue in Chicago, and<br />

raised more than $68,000.<br />

The next concert wasn’t<br />

until 2018, and was held<br />

at the Metro in Chicago,<br />

featuring Sons of the Silent<br />

Age, who performed<br />

again in 2019 and chose to<br />

donate proceeds from the<br />

concert to the hospital at<br />

both events.<br />

The band is comprised of<br />

Chicago-based musicians,<br />

including Wilmette resident<br />

Matt Walker, a drummer<br />

who has performed<br />

with The Smashing Pumpkins,<br />

Garbage and currently<br />

performs with Morrissey.<br />

Walker’s wife, Char<br />

Walker, is an integrative<br />

psychotherapist at North-<br />

Shore University Health-<br />

System, and helped to<br />

organize the event after<br />

Temple suggested they<br />

have a fundraiser.<br />

“I’m thinking raffles and<br />

bake sales,” Temple said.<br />

“Then, for some reason, it<br />

crossed my mind knowing<br />

that Char’s husband was<br />

touring and good friends<br />

with famous people, I said<br />

‘Do you think Billy would<br />

do a concert for us as a<br />

Contributing Columnist<br />

It’s beginning to look a<br />

lot like ice rinks. Drive<br />

around you’ll see them<br />

popping up in backyards<br />

and or crowding athletic<br />

centers with their<br />

fast moving action. And<br />

there is a specific reason<br />

why I’m excited to see the<br />

temps dip below freezing:<br />

it’s time to lace up the ice<br />

skates.<br />

This sport is still a<br />

bright, exciting endeavor<br />

for me and my family.<br />

Sure, I grew up skating<br />

every winter, and have a<br />

fondness for it. But for<br />

my son, this is a thrilling<br />

milestone — one that<br />

words seem to defy.<br />

You see, from a very<br />

young age I realized that<br />

his passion for sports was<br />

rather intense. At age 2, he<br />

could rattle off the starting<br />

lineup for the Chicago<br />

Blackhawks. At age 3, he<br />

could wield a hockey stick<br />

with surprising accuracy.<br />

It’s no surprise that as he<br />

is on the cusp of turning 7,<br />

the passion for the game<br />

is stronger than ever. That,<br />

and he has quickly realized<br />

just how difficult it is<br />

to skate and play hockey<br />

at the same time.<br />

Thankfully, Glencoe<br />

Park District came to<br />

the rescue. After a quick<br />

flip of a catalog, I signed<br />

my son up for a skating<br />

course that allowed him<br />

to develop basic fundamentals.<br />

These lessons<br />

have also provided a<br />

solid student-to-teacher<br />

ratio that has fostered his<br />

learning. In a very short<br />

time, I have seen his<br />

abilities flourish in a way<br />

that makes my heart leap.<br />

Most importantly, he is<br />

having a massive amount<br />

of fun.<br />

Recently, I was at Watts<br />

Park watching him zip<br />

around the ice in circles.<br />

I pulled out my iPhone to<br />

shoot a quick video wanting<br />

to document his skills.<br />

As he zoomed across the<br />

ice, his speed intensified,<br />

and I watched his legs<br />

go out from under him.<br />

Undeterred, he stood back<br />

up and zoomed back into<br />

a steady pace. He repeated<br />

this pattern frequently.<br />

Later on, he would<br />

clarify what he was doing:<br />

“Mom, I was falling<br />

safely. They taught us<br />

that.”<br />

Yep. That’s right. There<br />

was a whole portion of<br />

lessons dedicated to showing<br />

the ideal way to fall on<br />

the ice. My son explained<br />

that there were drills in<br />

which kids skated at a<br />

rapid pace before being<br />

instructed to fall simultaneously.<br />

The repetition of<br />

these “safe falls” removed<br />

a lot of the fear that comes<br />

with taking a tumble,<br />

while reinforcing what<br />

to do if a fall was imminent.<br />

I imagine this also<br />

minimized the potential<br />

for injury.<br />

I confess, this teaching<br />

was not what I expected.<br />

But after some careful<br />

thought, I liked the<br />

concept. Many people<br />

(namely Winter Olympic<br />

judges) equate falling on<br />

ice skates to failure. But<br />

the reality is that falling<br />

will happen and likely<br />

should happen if one is<br />

practicing the sport — so<br />

why not teach it and store<br />

that skill in your tool box?<br />

Whether this feels<br />

silly or intriguing, let me<br />

leave you with this: when<br />

I watched my son skate<br />

recently, he did so smiling<br />

ear-to-ear, cheeks rosy<br />

from the cold. He was not<br />

perfect nor was he recruited<br />

for any hockey teams.<br />

But he was learning a<br />

sport he had idolized for<br />

years and he was actually<br />

improving. So maybe we<br />

should keep that in mind:<br />

it’s OK to fall. Just try to<br />

fall safely.<br />

came as a shock because<br />

none of my relatives had<br />

ever had a history of seizures<br />

in the past.<br />

That set off years of<br />

going on and off of different<br />

medications, teasing<br />

and you name it. All of it<br />

led me to not tell many<br />

people about my diagnosis.<br />

In fact, I’m pretty sure<br />

some of my best friends,<br />

and possibly even family,<br />

don’t even know. Very<br />

few, if any, previous coworkers<br />

knew. My bosses<br />

at 22nd Century Media<br />

are the first bosses that<br />

have known, all because I<br />

wanted to be like everyone<br />

else, not someone<br />

that’s “different.”<br />

For those of you who<br />

know me, you know I’m<br />

pretty much a quiet and<br />

private person. So coming<br />

out and writing this editorial<br />

isn’t really something<br />

I thought I’d ever do.<br />

That changed, however,<br />

three years ago last<br />

weekend at the War on the<br />

Shore.<br />

This past weekend,<br />

Evanston High School<br />

hosted the ninth annual<br />

War on the Shore,<br />

a basketball shootout<br />

featuring Loyola, New<br />

Trier and Evanston’s boys<br />

basketball teams against<br />

three teams from across<br />

Chicagoland.<br />

Proceeds from the<br />

shootout go to the Danny<br />

Did Foundation, a charity<br />

named after Danny<br />

Stanton and whose mission<br />

is to prevent deaths<br />

caused by seizures with<br />

these main goals in mind:<br />

advancing public awareness<br />

of Sudden Unexpected<br />

Death in Epilepsy<br />

(SUDEP), enhancing the<br />

SUDEP communication<br />

model between medical<br />

professionals and families<br />

afflicted by seizures,<br />

and the mainstreaming<br />

of seizure-detection and<br />

prediction devices that<br />

may assist in preventing<br />

seizure-related deaths.<br />

After covering the 2017<br />

version of the War on the<br />

Shore for our publications,<br />

I reached out to one of the<br />

co-founders of the charity,<br />

Tom Stanton, looking<br />

to see how I could get<br />

involved.<br />

Seeing a charity that<br />

had multiple connections<br />

to myself — high school<br />

sports, Loyola Academy<br />

(I and the Stantons are<br />

alums), as well as epilepsy<br />

— made me want to<br />

get involved. Soon after,<br />

I was invited to join the<br />

charity’s Young Professionals<br />

Board, on which I<br />

still serve to this day.<br />

Joining Danny Did has<br />

really helped me be able to<br />

talk about having seizures.<br />

I’m not afraid of what<br />

people might say anymore<br />

and that’s all a testament<br />

to what the charity does<br />

for everyone involved.<br />

I mean, a couple years<br />

ago I wouldn’t have told<br />

anybody. Here I am writing<br />

an editorial about my<br />

disability that thousands<br />

of residents on the North<br />

Shore are going to read.<br />

For a myriad of reasons,<br />

this past year has been a<br />

tough one for me personally,<br />

but a couple things<br />

have helped me through<br />

it all: seeing all the work<br />

that Danny Did does and<br />

the impact it has on the<br />

world, as well as being<br />

able to spend time with<br />

my niece and nephew.<br />

Those two (2-year-old<br />

nephew, 3-month-old<br />

niece) just have a way to<br />

light up anybody’s world.<br />

Luckily, I’ve been<br />

seizure-free since Sept.<br />

8, 2002. I know I’ve<br />

been lucky, but seeing<br />

the number of people that<br />

come out for Danny Did<br />

events is amazing to see.<br />

From all the high school<br />

students that volunteer at<br />

events to the thousands of<br />

people that have watched<br />

any of the War on the<br />

Shore games and helped<br />

in the raising of more<br />

than $19,000 through the<br />

shootout’s life thus far, the<br />

amount of people willing<br />

to learn and be involved<br />

is amazing.<br />

So, thank you, Danny<br />

Did Foundation, and thank<br />

you, my fellow North<br />

Shorians for allowing me<br />

to be able to talk about<br />

what wasn’t the easiest<br />

of childhoods and having<br />

grown up with a disability.<br />

It’s helped me in<br />

more ways than you can<br />

imagine.<br />

North Shore father assists other<br />

parents grieving loss of kids<br />

Alexa Burnell, Freelance Reporter<br />

Jenniffer Weigel, a journalist and selfproclaimed<br />

spiritual adventurist, has interviewed<br />

mediums and spiritual advisors<br />

on the stage of the Wilmette Theatre for<br />

the past several years, helping many find<br />

answers to the lingering questions about<br />

loved ones.<br />

Recently, her ever-popular series took<br />

a local turn, when Winnetka resident<br />

Joe McQuillen, took the stage on Thursday,<br />

Jan. 17, talking about his connection<br />

to his son, Christopher, who tragically<br />

passed away after a 2016 canoe<br />

accident in southern Wisconsin. The<br />

younger McQuillen was one of four former<br />

New Trier High School students<br />

that died.<br />

Weigel started the evening talking about<br />

how the death of her father, prompted her<br />

own curiosity into seeking information<br />

from the other side.<br />

“Just like Joe, my journey started with<br />

grief,” Weigel said. “We all have different<br />

ways of dealing with loss, but many of us,<br />

feel a need to seek answers.”<br />

McQuillen explained that through the<br />

process, he has now come to believe that<br />

when a loved one passes, they are never<br />

really gone.<br />

“I truly believe that when someone<br />

passes, they are just on the other<br />

side,” McQuillen said. “For me, when<br />

Chris crossed over, I couldn’t imagine<br />

a world without him; I needed to see<br />

what was on that other side, I needed<br />

to stay connected to him and felt it was<br />

my job to figure out how to get in touch<br />

with him.”<br />

McQuillen admitted that at first he<br />

was angry with God, but he quickly received<br />

a message reminding him that<br />

God didn’t just ‘take’ his son and that<br />

the death wasn’t a punishment. McQuillen<br />

also learned that healing could come<br />

from having faith and helping others to<br />

have faith, too.<br />

“The message I received reminded<br />

me that God wasn’t punishing me, but<br />

rather it was Chris’s recklessness and<br />

own free will that ended his life, all too<br />

early,” McQuillen said. “You always<br />

hear that time will heal, but that’s not<br />

necessarily the case, because the grief<br />

is connected to the love; I’ll never stop<br />

Joe McQuillen discussed his book, “My<br />

Search For Christopher On The Other<br />

Side,” during his appearance at Wilmette<br />

Theatre. His son, a former New Trier<br />

student, died in 2016. photo submitted<br />

loving Chris, therefore, I’ll never stop<br />

grieving, but I now have tools that help<br />

me to deal.<br />

“One of those ways is by helping others<br />

who are grieving, by teaching them<br />

that their loved one is not gone but has<br />

just crossed over. By staying open to this<br />

belief and seeking to connect with those<br />

who have crossed over, others can find<br />

their own tools to help them cope too.”<br />

Weigel interjected, explaining that of<br />

the ways to stay open and receptive to<br />

a loved one who has crossed over is by<br />

believing that “coincidences” are not just<br />

“coincidences.”<br />

“Think how many times you have<br />

thought of a loved one who has passed<br />

away and suddenly, their favorite song<br />

comes on or something else that reminds<br />

you of them occurs. These are<br />

not just mere coincidences,” Weigel<br />

said. “If you took note of all of these<br />

little things that happen, you will see<br />

it is a spirit downloading – trying to<br />

communicate.”<br />

McQuillen has now turned his experience<br />

into a book, “My Search For Christopher<br />

On the Other Side,” to learn more<br />

about his experiences communicating<br />

with his son, Christopher, and the profound<br />

impact this has had on his life. The<br />

book is available on Amazon.

In Memoriam<br />

Andrews Allen<br />

Andrews<br />

“Andy” Allen,<br />

95, a Glencoe native, died<br />

Jan. 3. Preceded in death<br />

by his brothers Francis<br />

and Henry and by Marjorie<br />

his beloved wife of 57<br />

years. He is survived by<br />

sister Katharine children<br />

Chip (Barbara), Genie,<br />

John (Nell), Phil (Suzy) by<br />

nine grandchildren and 5<br />

great grandchildren. Allen<br />

was born in Chicago and<br />

grew up in Glencoe. He<br />

earned 10 varsity letters<br />

and graduated from New<br />

York Military Academy in<br />

1940 then attended Syracuse<br />

University. At 20, he<br />

became a commissioned<br />

officer in the US Army and<br />

in August, 1944 landed in<br />

France as a First Lieutenant<br />

in the 7th Armored<br />

Division of Patton’s Third<br />

Army. He was promoted to<br />

Captain and led a Company<br />

of the 48th Armored Infantry<br />

in their drive across<br />

Europe. He was awarded<br />

two Purple Hearts. For the<br />

actions of his company,<br />

he was given the French<br />

Croix de Guerre and the<br />

Silver Star at Verdun.<br />

Pinned on him personally<br />

by General Patton.<br />

Following WWII, he<br />

earned a degree in journalism<br />

at the University<br />

of Wisconsin while rowing<br />

for the Badgers’ 1946<br />

national championship<br />

eight-man crew. He met<br />

Marjorie in Madison on a<br />

blind date. The two were<br />

married and moved to St.<br />

Paul for Allen’s first job<br />

at 3M. Through neighborhood<br />

connections, club<br />

memberships and service<br />

groups, they built a vast<br />

circle of life-long friends<br />

with whom they would<br />

golf, ski, square dance,<br />

play cards, travel and create<br />

memories. Allen’s irreverent<br />

humor and gregarious<br />

style paired well with<br />

Marge’s selfless nurturing.<br />

He branched out into real<br />

estate development in the<br />

1960s. His buildings in<br />

Minn. included Kellogg<br />

Square and the White Bear<br />

Country Inn, he built other<br />

projects in Mich., the Dakotas<br />

and Colo.<br />

Allen enjoyed family<br />

life, leading his children<br />

and friends on ski and golf<br />

vacations from Duluth to<br />

Scotland. “GroPa” would<br />

act as patriarch and regale<br />

Golf was Allen’s passion,<br />

he once played to a scratch<br />

handicap, won club championships<br />

and shot a record<br />

29 on the back nine<br />

at North Oaks. He loved<br />

“hunting God’s creatures”<br />

unfortunately, his shooting<br />

prowess did not match<br />

his other athletic gifts. For<br />

him the experience was<br />

about being with his fellow<br />

hunters, not about the<br />

hunt.<br />

Allen served as the mayor<br />

of Dellwood, Minn.,<br />

president of North Oaks<br />

and LaQuinta Country<br />

Clubs, Minn. Golf Association<br />

in Rotary, Gyro,<br />

St. Paul Winter Carnival,<br />

Toastmasters, the Republican<br />

Party and Bible study.<br />

In later years his joy for<br />

life was renewed through<br />

his friendship with Harriet<br />

Norgren. They attended<br />

social events, played competitive<br />

rounds of golf and<br />

gin rummy. She would<br />

patiently endure watching<br />

Allen’s cherished Badgers<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<br />

family first started looking<br />

into purchasing the<br />

property at 1868 Prairie<br />

St. around the turn<br />

of the century, “but the<br />

original owner wouldn’t<br />

sell it without the business,”<br />

which started as<br />

Lang’s before becoming<br />

Grandpa Rugen’s and finally<br />

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 />

Grandpa’s Place’s calamari ($7.95) is lightly breaded in their seasoned flour and<br />

brown sugar and is a “sleeper” on the menu.<br />

“We wanted it to be a<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 of<br />

keeping it local, keeping<br />

that sense of history, while<br />

always keeping it relevant,”<br />

Middleton said, noting<br />

Grandpa’s gets much<br />

of its ingredients from local<br />

shops and producers<br />

like Reagan Meats and<br />

Harrison’s Poultry Farm in<br />

Glenview, Gonnella Baking<br />

Company in Schaumburg<br />

and Harrington’s Catering<br />

and 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.

Athlete of the Week<br />

10 Questions<br />

with Maddie Michiels<br />

The New Trier senior is a<br />

captain on the cheerleading<br />

squad.<br />

When did you start<br />

cheering and why?<br />

I started cheerleading<br />

the summer going into<br />

freshman year. Cheerleading<br />

always had a special<br />

place in my heart because<br />

I enjoy sharing my spirit<br />

for the school, I love doing<br />

stunts, and performing<br />

the dances. I studied<br />

classical ballet at Ruth<br />

Page and after I suffered<br />

an injury, this was a way<br />

I could still dance and be<br />

athletic. Also, my mom<br />

was a cheerleader and I<br />

always wanted to be a<br />

cheerleader.<br />

What’s your favorite<br />

part about cheering?<br />

My favorite part about<br />

cheering is that moment,<br />

right after you hit the stunt<br />

perfectly, it gives you this<br />

rush of adrenaline and you<br />

have this instant team moment<br />

of ‘We did it!’<br />

What’s one thing<br />

people don’t know<br />

about you?<br />

That I’m shy.<br />

If you could travel<br />

anywhere in the<br />

world, where would it<br />

be and why?<br />

Italy. It looks beautiful,<br />

and my mom’s family is<br />

from there. And the food.<br />

What’s been your<br />

favorite moment at<br />

New Trier?<br />

Performing at the Pep<br />

rally for homecoming and<br />

receiving wonderful praise<br />

from my teachers and the<br />

students. Going to the<br />

dances with my friends<br />

and having a wonderful<br />

time.<br />

Do you have any pet<br />

peeves?<br />

I cannot stand hearing<br />

someone eat in a quiet<br />

room. It doesn’t matter if<br />

their mouth is closed I can<br />

still hear it.<br />

What’s the best advice<br />

you’ve ever gotten<br />

and who was it from?<br />

Whenever I feel like giving<br />

up or something isn’t<br />

going as planned, I remind<br />

myself to “suck it up, and<br />

you got it.” My mom says<br />

that because sometimes I<br />

may feel like we didn’t do<br />

something as well as we<br />

could have or I’m feeling<br />

overwhelmed and need a<br />

boost.<br />

What’s your favorite<br />

restaurant and what<br />

do you get there?<br />

My favorite restaurant is<br />

Topo Gigio. I get the same<br />

dish every single time I go,<br />

it’s called the Spaghetti<br />

con le Polpette. It’s Spaghetti<br />

with a Bolognese<br />

sauce with meatballs. It’s<br />

the most amazing food.<br />

What’s your guilty<br />

pleasure?<br />

Photo submitted<br />

Goat cheese with cranberry<br />

or Brie. Love these.<br />

If you could have<br />

dinner with three<br />

people who would<br />

they be and why?<br />

If I could have dinner<br />

with three people it would<br />

be Ariana Grande, she is<br />

so talented, Carmela Turano<br />

(my grandmother who<br />

died from ovarian cancer<br />

before I was born) and my<br />

mom (Andreana Turano).<br />

I think that we would have<br />

a great time laughing and<br />

telling stories. I would<br />

love to meet my grandmother<br />

she sounds wonderful<br />

and everyone says<br />

I remind them of her, and<br />

my mom because I know<br />

she’d like to have another<br />

dinner with her mom too.<br />

New Trier White’s comeback<br />

stuns Lake Forest at home<br />

David Jaffe<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Coming back from a big<br />

deficit is almost always a<br />

difficult task.<br />

And New Trier White<br />

had already fought back to<br />

cut a three-goal deficit to<br />

just one after two periods.<br />

When the third period<br />

began, it appeared fatigue<br />

was beginning to set in<br />

for the Trevians. Initially<br />

it seemed that they were<br />

just trying to get their legs<br />

back.<br />

But rather than succumb<br />

to the fatigue, the Trevians<br />

became more energized,<br />

scoring two more<br />

goals in the third period.<br />

Ryan O’Rourke scored<br />

the game-winning goal in<br />

front of the net with three<br />

minutes left completing<br />

New Trier’s comeback<br />

with a 4-3 win over Lake<br />

Forest Wednesday, January<br />

16, at the Winnetka<br />

Ice Arena. The Trevians<br />

trailed 3-0 in the second<br />

period.<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 as<br />

New Trier’s Tyler T. Nolan (middle) looks for an open<br />

teammate against Lake Forest on Jan. 16 in Winnetka.<br />

David Kraus/22nd Century Media<br />

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 />

Lake Forest’s Sam Sheffield<br />

scored 20 seconds<br />

into the game. Carter Blake<br />

increased the advantage to<br />

2-0 with just over eight<br />

minutes left in the first.<br />

Griffin Slobodnik extended<br />

the lead to three goals<br />

less than two minutes into<br />

the second period.<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 />

For Lake Forest it was<br />

an extremely tough loss to<br />

swallow.<br />

“We gave up two penalties<br />

in that period,” Lake<br />

Forest coach Steve Sarauer<br />

said. “We gave up two<br />

shorthanded goals as a result<br />

and it ended up costing<br />

us.”<br />

Sarauer felt bad for his<br />

team considering how well<br />

they played overall.<br />

“The kids really wanted<br />

to win,” Sarauer said.<br />

“This was the hardest I’ve<br />

seen the kids play as a a<br />

team this season. They really<br />

wanted this one and it<br />

hurts considering how we<br />

started the game.”<br />

Christian Franke competed<br />

in one less game in the<br />

sectional than he did in<br />

the regional, but his average<br />

of 176-177 was nearly<br />

identical. Michael Ritchie<br />

subbed for him in the third<br />

game and had a 162.<br />

“We started out really<br />

strong with a 1,022 which<br />

was the best series we’ve<br />

had all season,” Booden<br />

said.<br />

Jonathan Tomasiello<br />

was the lone representative<br />

for Loyola. The<br />

freshman didn’t qualify<br />

for state with a 965, which<br />

included a game high of a<br />

180.<br />

“I thought he did pretty<br />

well,” Ramblers coach<br />

Chuck Halfpap said. “He<br />

only averaged 149 in the<br />

Chicago Catholic League<br />

and then had a 175 average<br />

in the regional so to<br />

average about a 160 here<br />

is a pretty good accomplishment.”<br />

Loyola hasn’t qualified<br />

a bowler to state<br />

since Tom Madrecki and<br />

Jimmy Boratyn went in<br />

2006.<br />

Tomasiello hadn’t<br />

bowled competitively until<br />

three months ago.<br />

“I had bowled with my<br />

dad several times, but<br />

not competitively,” he<br />

said. “It’s only been three<br />

months. I didn’t think I<br />

was going to be as good as<br />

I am.”<br />

He was pretty good on<br />

Saturday.<br />

“I felt like I did good,<br />

but I felt like I could do<br />

better,” he said. “The goal<br />

was to average around<br />

200.”<br />

(two weeks)<br />

Who: Eighteen North Shore student-athletes (12<br />

Athletes of Month, 6 at-large contenders)<br />

Despite the fact the calendar<br />

year has now turned<br />

to 2019, 2018 still has a<br />

little bit missing from it.<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 team<br />

along for the ride. 22nd<br />

Century Media was following<br />

the action with its<br />

seven North Shore publications<br />

and websites, documenting<br />

the moments of<br />

glory as well as the agony<br />

of defeat.<br />

Along the way, every<br />

week, papers like our<br />

Glencoe Anchor selected<br />

and interviewed a worthy<br />

Athlete of the Week.<br />

At the end of the month,<br />

all Athletes of the Week<br />

from the seven newspapers<br />

were pitted against<br />

one another in the popular<br />

Athlete of the Month<br />

competition, for which<br />

residents decide the result<br />

by voting for their favorite<br />

athlete online.<br />

At year’s end, there are<br />

12 winners, and we’re<br />

not done just yet. Those<br />

12 winners — along with<br />

six at-large contenders selected<br />

by 22CM staffers<br />

— are about to vie for the<br />

ultimate title: 22nd Century<br />

Media Athlete of the<br />

Year.<br />

The Athlete of the Year<br />

competition is a two-week<br />

online voting contest that<br />

began at noon Saturday,<br />

Jan. 26, at GlencoeAnchor.<br />

com, as well as the company’s<br />

six other North Shore<br />

websites.<br />

Fans can vote daily for<br />

their favorite student-athlete<br />

until 5 p.m. on Feb.<br />

9. To avoid voting spam<br />

and abuse, we have restricted<br />

the votes to one<br />

per IP address per day<br />

with a special feature to<br />

ensure votes are being<br />

made by humans. If votes<br />

are proven illegitimate,<br />

they will be discarded<br />

and the beneficiary of the<br />

fraudulent votes may be<br />

disqualified.<br />

A winner will be announced<br />

in the Feb. 14 issue<br />

of The Beacon.<br />

McKenna, Miralles lead Trevians at CSL meet<br />

Gary Larsen<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Nothing tosses a shovelful<br />

of coal into the blast<br />

furnace of a wrestler’s<br />

motivation quite like a<br />

loss, and the loss that New<br />

Trier’s Matt McKenna<br />

took on the title mat at this<br />

year’s CSL tournament<br />

Saturday, Jan. 19, in Winnetka,<br />

should provide him<br />

with a lot of internal heat.<br />

McKenna led 5-0 after<br />

two periods against<br />

Deerfield’s Josh Avenaim<br />

in their title match at 145<br />

pounds before Avenaim<br />

battled back to tie it in the<br />

third period and then won<br />

it 7-5 over McKenna with<br />

a takedown in overtime.<br />

“We have regionals in<br />

two weeks so I’ll be going<br />

in there even hungrier,”<br />

McKenna said. “In overtime<br />

I felt a little gassed<br />

but I thought I was in good<br />

position. (Avenaim) is a<br />

strong opponent but I beat<br />

him 5-2 earlier this year.”<br />

A short memory is required<br />

in wrestling and<br />

New Trier coach Marc<br />

Tadelman isn’t worried<br />

about McKenna with the<br />

postseason looming.<br />

“He’s a tough kid and<br />

he’ll bounce back,” Tadelman<br />

said. “Matt wrestled<br />

good all day.<br />

“He wrestled well in<br />

the first and second period<br />

of the title match and we<br />

thought he had the win<br />

locked up, but (Avenaim)<br />

kind of caught him on his<br />

back. But those things<br />

happen and I’m super<br />

proud of him, even though<br />

it doesn’t sit well with him<br />

right now.”<br />

McKenna won by fall<br />

in his first match and then<br />

won by first-period fall in<br />

his semifinal match against<br />

Maine East’s Angel Villegas.<br />

McKenna placed fifth<br />

as a freshman and third as<br />

a sophomore at the CSL<br />

meet, so his appearance on<br />

the title mat as a junior this<br />

year marked another incremental<br />

step forward.<br />

“I’ve gotten a lot better<br />

on my feet,” McKenna<br />

said. “I was terrible on my<br />

feet, freshman and sophomore<br />

year, and I’d rely on<br />

turning kids and pinning<br />

them on top. But I’m a lot<br />

more aggressive on my<br />

feet now. I know you have<br />

to have a good mindset,<br />

work on your skills, and be<br />

weight class at the Central Suburban League meet<br />

good in all phases.”<br />

The Trevians placed<br />

10th overall, also getting<br />

a third from Michael Miralles<br />

(120) and a fourth<br />

from Jake Cummings<br />

(160). Miralles reached<br />

the semifinals before losing<br />

5-2 to eventual champion<br />

Zack Chrisovitsiotis,<br />

and then won by tech fall<br />

in his final match of the<br />

day against Maine East’s<br />

Jeffrey Beccera.<br />

Cummings won two<br />

matches in the consolation<br />

round to reach the thirdplace<br />

mat before losing to<br />

Maine South’s Ryan Pena.<br />

You won’t find Glenbrook<br />

South freshman Will<br />

Collins listed on either of<br />

Illinois’ top rankings lists<br />

— at Illinois Matmen or Illinois<br />

Best Weekly — but<br />

odds are Collins won’t be a<br />

secret for much longer.<br />

Collins improved to<br />

32-1 and dominated the<br />

CSL field at 138, posting<br />

three pins on his way<br />

to winning his first conference<br />

title. No wrestler<br />

made it into the third period<br />

with the freshman, who<br />

pinned Deerfield’s Troy<br />

Mock in 55 seconds on the<br />

title mat.<br />

Afterwards, Titans<br />

coach Pat Castillo spoke<br />

to Collins’ competitive nature.<br />

“With some of these<br />

guys it doesn’t matter<br />

if they’re playing video<br />

games, tic-tac-toe, or<br />

checkers,” Castillo said,<br />

“if they lose at anything, it<br />

burns.”<br />

“Will’s a competitor. He<br />

doesn’t want to lose, no<br />

matter what we’re doing.<br />

Whether it’s an assistant<br />

coach or I’m going with<br />

him (in practice), he wants<br />

to wrestle a hundred percent<br />

and not hold back.”<br />

Collins’ three pins were<br />

no accident.<br />

“I told (Castillo) I wanted<br />

three pins and I was<br />

able to get them,” Collins<br />

said. “All I want to do is<br />

win — football, wrestling,<br />

anything. That mostly<br />

comes from my dad encouraging<br />

me to go after it,<br />

every single day, and from<br />

my coaches.”<br />

The Titans got a second<br />

memorable performance<br />

from junior KP Santos<br />

(26-10), who provided the<br />

high-drama moment of<br />

the tournament. Trailing<br />

Niles West’s Omar Abbas<br />

by a point on the title<br />

mat at 106, Santos earned<br />

a takedown with less than<br />

a second remaining in the<br />

match to win an 8-7 decision.<br />

Trailing by a point with<br />

10 seconds remaining is no<br />

place a wrestler wants to<br />

be but Santos stayed calm<br />

and did what he’s been<br />

taught.<br />

“Stick to the basics. We<br />

work on them every day,”<br />

Santos said. “Thank god<br />

we do that because if I<br />

didn’t stick to my basics<br />

in that situation, I don’t<br />

know what would have<br />

happened in that last ten<br />

seconds.”<br />

It was the first CSL<br />

title of the junior’s career<br />

and the accomplishment<br />

wasn’t lost on him.<br />

Glenbrook South recently<br />

posted a wrestling record<br />

board in the school that<br />

lists accomplishments of<br />

past wrestlers, and Santos’<br />

name will now be<br />

added.<br />

“I was really working towards<br />

that,” Santos said. “I<br />

really wanted my name on<br />

the board. I look up there<br />

every day and see all those<br />

names of people who’ve<br />

done amazing things for<br />

the program.<br />

The Titans placed fourth<br />

in the tournament.<br />

Loyola offense stalls in loss to St. Viator<br />

Casey Bannon<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Some coaches like to<br />

dive straight into the film<br />

after a tough loss. Others<br />

like to throw it away.<br />

Loyola coach Tom Livatino<br />

says he’ll be opting for<br />

the latter after a 38-29 loss<br />

to Saint Viator at Evanston<br />

High School on Saturday,<br />

Jan. 19.<br />

“I just think we look<br />

exhausted,” Livatino said.<br />

“And that’s not to make<br />

any excuses, [Saint Viator]<br />

played great, but we look<br />

tired out there.”<br />

Playing their seventh<br />

game already in January,<br />

which follows a four-game<br />

Florida trip to end December,<br />

the grind-it-out Rambler<br />

offense managed little<br />

of anything against the Lions.<br />

Junior forward Bennett<br />

Kwiecinski knocked<br />

down a pair of free throws<br />

with less than a minute remaining<br />

to become the only<br />

digits for the night. Quinn<br />

Pemberton chipped in with<br />

seven.<br />

After holding Saint<br />

Viator (16-4) to only two<br />

points in the second quarter,<br />

the Ramblers (16-6)<br />

headed into halftime trailing<br />

16-14 before scoring<br />

only two points of their<br />

own in the third quarter.<br />

Just a night prior, the<br />

offense failed to make a<br />

3-pointer and managed<br />

only 38 points in a victory<br />

against St. Josephs. Rather<br />

than panic, they will attempt<br />

to reset.<br />

“We’ve been scoring the<br />

ball well all year,” Livatino<br />

said. “I just think we need<br />

to take some time away.”<br />

For all of the offensive<br />

struggles, there were equal<br />

positives on the defensive<br />

end. Jordan Kwiecinski,<br />

with help defense from his<br />

twin brother Bennett, held<br />

the Lions’ senior guard and<br />

Loyola’s Matthew Enghauser powers his way past St.<br />

Viator’s Owen Hickey in a Saturday, Jan. 19, game at<br />

Evanston. Tracy Allen/22nd Century Media<br />

Kent State commit Jeremiah<br />

Hernandez to 13 points<br />

— and only four in the second<br />

half.<br />

This is only the fourth<br />

game that Hernandez has<br />

played without his backcourt<br />

mate Treyvon Calvin.<br />

Calvin, a senior captain and<br />

Wright State recruit, broke<br />

his left hand while high-fiving<br />

a teammate earlier this<br />

month but is expected to be<br />

back by the playoffs. The<br />

Lions are now 2-2 without<br />

their leading scorer. In the<br />

interim, junior guard Connor<br />

Kochera picked up the<br />

slack with a game-high 15<br />

points — 14 of those coming<br />

in the second half.<br />

“I actually thought our<br />

kids did a really good job<br />

picking up on the things we<br />

wanted to do defensively,”<br />

Livatino said. “That is a<br />

very good team and I think<br />

they’re going to have a nice<br />

run later this year.”<br />

Trailing by eight heading<br />

into the fourth, the Ramblers<br />

attempted to speed<br />

up a patient Lions offense<br />

with full court pressure.<br />

After creating a few turnovers<br />

with a 1-3-1 trap,<br />

and adding a 3-pointer<br />

from junior guard William<br />

Pujals, the Ramblers had<br />

a chance to make it a twopossession<br />

game with just<br />

under two minutes remaining.<br />

Hernandez would have<br />

other ideas, however, as<br />

he plucked the ball from a<br />

stumbling Pujals and took<br />

it the other way for a twohand<br />

dunk to end any hopes<br />

of a Rambler comeback.<br />

The game was the second<br />

of three played at Beardsley<br />

Gymnasium on Saturday,<br />

as part of the 9th Annual<br />

War on the Shore. All<br />

proceeds from the shootout<br />

will go to the Danny Did<br />

foundation—a nonprofit<br />

which raises awareness to<br />

fight Sudden Unexpected<br />

Death in Epilepsy.<br />
