Annual MLK Day of Service ‘brings people together’ 

Alexa Burnell 

Freelance Reporter 

While there were dozens 

of ways to spend the 

day off of school and work 

Monday, Jan. 21, hundreds 

of folks, including Glencoe 

District 35 students, headed 

to the Winnetka Community 

House, paying tribute to 

the late Dr. Martin Luther 

King, Jr. during the Volunteer 

Center of N.E. Metro 

Chicago and the Kindness 

Connection’s annual day of 

volunteerism. 

The beloved event has 

become a tradition, uniting 

people from across 

the North Shore and all of 

Chicagoland, regardless of 

race, gender or ability. 

“What I love most about 

this event is the way it 

brings people together to 

honor Dr. Martin Luther 

King, Jr.’s message about 

the importance of helping 

and serving others,” said 

Barb Tubekis, executive 

director of the Volunteer 

Center. “The people here 

today may come from all 

walks of life, but they are 

united by a shared desire 

to use their skills and their 

hearts to benefit the less 

fortunate.” 

Tubekis explained when 

organizing the event, she 

strives for variety, showing 

guests the many different 

groups who need 

extra love, help and care. 

For example, there were 

opportunities to make

a scarf for donation at the annual Day of Service Jan. 21 at the Winnetka Community 

House. Photos by Jill Dunbar/22nd Century Media 

fleece scarves and no-sew 

blankets for various homeless 

shelters and refugee 

organizations, Valentines 

for Veterans, pet toys for 

animal shelters, candy bags 

for the elderly and cards for 

hospitalized children, just 

to name a few. 

Throughout the years, 

Tubekis and her like-minded 

partners have also asked 

guests to bring items, like 

laundry detergent for the 

New Trier Township pantry 

and winter gear for organizations 

like Refugee 

One, World Refugee and 

the newly added Madonna 

Mission, ensuring those 

who are in need, receive. 

Beginning last year, 

Matz Hall was reserved 

for those who wanted to

speak out and share their 

thoughts about MLK or social 

justice in general. This 

year, this growing aspect of 

the event was manned by 

enthusiastic student members 

from both New Trier 

and Glenbrook South’s Interact 

Club – an organization 

committed to serving 

others over self. 

“It’s pretty cool to be 

here today and give back 

to those who have done so 

much for us, like Veterans, 

who could use a nice card, 

thanking them for their 

service,” said Nate Cohen, 

Interact member and GBS 

junior. “I feel very good 

about being here today, 

collaborating with students 

from New Trier who share 

the same beliefs about 

helping others through kind 

acts.” 

“I love seeing all these 

people spend their day off 

from school or work helping 

others,” added Sammy 

Tveroh, another Interact 

member from GBS. “The 

fact that our club is a part of 

the event feels really good 

and I hope people leave 

today feeling inspired.” 

As guests involved 

themselves in the variety of 

service events, board president 

of the Kindness Club, 

Julie Lipford, of Wilmette, 

oversaw groups of children 

and families, who worked 

alongside Kindness Club 

members and teen volunteers 

to make handcrafted 

items for various 

nonprofits. 

New Trier student Maggie Cao cuts fabric to make 

scarves. 

“This event truly brings 

out the right spirit within 

our community. To look 

around and see so many 

people gathering to do 

something kind for others 

is just amazing,” Lipford 

said. “It only convinces me 

further that organizations 

like the Kindness Connection 

make communities 

healthy by teaching others 

how volunteerism positively 

impacts the world 

around us.” 

Participants, like George 

and Mary Pearce, of Wilmette, 

were equally moved 

by the day of good deeds. 

They have attended the 

MLK day of service for 

several years, enjoying the 

opportunity to do some 

good together. 

“We are both very involved 

in community service 

and this is an event 

that we look forward to 

every year, enjoying the 

chance to participate as a 

couple,” George said. 

“It is so important that we 

all stop to pay our respects 

to Dr. Martin Luther King, 

Jr. and celebrate the day off 

from work or school honoring 

his legacy by helping 

others,” Mary added. 

“This event reminds us that 

when we work together, 

we can make a difference 

for the better.”

‘A community of doers’ 

Glencoe 150 Hall 

of Fame celebrates 

noteworthy citizens 

Hilary Anderson 


Glencoe’s history is long 

and vast with an amazing 

milestone. It will turn 150 

years old on March 29. 

The community’s pride 

was tangible at the Glencoe 

150 Hall of Fame Sesquicentennial 

Dinner held 

Saturday, Jan. 26, at the 

Skokie Country Club. 

John Kastl, Glencoe resident, 

lawyer and former 

Hollywood actor, served 

as master of ceremonies. 

“The dinner was the first 

official sesquicentennial 

event when the Glencoe 

Historical Society unveiled 

its Glencoe Hall of 

Fame honoring 150 individuals, 

past and present, 

who have contributed in 

some way to the betterment 

of their community 

and beyond,” said Karen 

Ettelson, chairwoman of 

the Glencoe 150 and vice 

president of GHS. 

More than 225 people 

with ties to Glencoe attended 

the celebration. 

Many returned home just 

for the event. 

A long line of residents 

— from all professions, 

cultures, races and religions 

— have called Glencoe 

home and made an 

impact not just on Glencoe 

but the world at large. 

“We have a community 

of doers,” Village President 

Larry Levin said. 

“Glencoe is a place of 

great family life, which is 

important, but its community 

members also share 

their talents and abilities 

with others. This sets us 

GHS Vice President Karen Ettelson starts off the ceremony. 

apart. Our residents have 

made and continue to 

make the world a better 

place. We thank everyone 

for their kindnesses and 

support.” 

GHS received more than 

250 nominations from the 

public for the inaugural 

class of the Hall of Fame. 

“It was a two-step process,” 

GHS president 

Ed Goodale said. “First, 

the selection committee 

researched information 

about each candidate, including 

material sent by 

the person nominating 

them. The committee was 

composed of members of 

the GHS Research Center 

and the GHS Board of Directors. 

A person had to receive 

a majority vote from 

both groups to be selected. 

The accomplishments of 

this inaugural class were 

amazing.” 

Goodale announced 

GHS decided to make the 

Glencoe Hall of Fame a 

continuing event. 

“Nominees who did 

not make it this year can 

be considered again next 

year,” he added. “All of 

the material submitted 

remains with the GHS archives.” 

In regard to the hall 

of famers, Kastl gave an 

overview of those now 

deceased. They include: 

Alexander Hammond, the 

man credited with being 

the founder of the village, 

and the first village president, 

Philo Judson. 

Only two women were 

elected to the office, Florence 

Hagenah Boone, who 

became the first woman 

president in 1976, and 

Elizabeth Warren. 

The first African American 

Village President was 

James Webb. 

Elizabeth Knox Booth 

organized the Glencoe 

Equal Suffrage Association 

in 1912 and several 

months later successfully 

ran the lobby effort to give 

more than one million Illinois 

women the right to 

vote. 

The Hall of Fame includes 

two village presidents 

from the Calhoun 

family — James Kent Calhoun 

in 1908 and Roland 

Calhoun in 1068. 

H. Earl Hoover, vacuum 

cleaner manufacturer; Leo 

Burnett, advertising; and 

Melville Stone, founder- 

Chicago Daily News were 

among others. 

Kastl then introduced 

Ann Compton, ABC news 

reporter for 40 years who 

grew up in Glencoe and 

now is covering her seventh 

president at the White 

House. 

“My father brought us 

to live here in Glencoe in 

1952,” Compton said. “We 

lived at 210 Park Ave. I 

remember riding our bikes 

to the train station to meet 

him and to school; (and) 

swimming at the beach at 

the end of Park Ave. I even 

counted all those steps going 

up and down. I think 

there were 96.” 

Compton reminisced 

other childhood activities 

that she and her brother, 

Michael, did like raking 

and burning leaves in autumn, 

ice skating, going 

to movies at the theater 

on Vernon, reading in the 

children’s room at the library, 

and stores they frequented. 

“Glencoe is such a great 

place to raise a family,” 

she said.

speaker and honoree Ann Compton addresses the 

crowd Saturday, Jan. 26, at Skokie Country Club.

Hall of Fame honoree Nancy King (right) receives her 

award at the event. 

Compton later pulled 

out a photo of her four 

granddaughters sitting under 

a Christmas tree last 

Christmas Eve. 

“These are my favorite 

people to be with now,” 

she said, smiling. 

Afterward, Kastl announced 

the living members 

of the Glencoe 150 

Hall of Fame. 

They include Lonnie 

Barfield, Bob Boone, 

Rabbi Herbert Bronstein, 

Peggy Hamil, Paul Harlow, 

Scott Javore, Nancy 

King, Jon Knouse, Betsy 

Liebson, Leo Melamed, 

Bob Morris, Roberta 

Olshansky, Harriet 

Resnick, Robert Rubin, 

Tony Ruzicka and Ellen 

Shubart. 

The GHS will open an 

exhibit in spring honoring 

all of the members of the 

Glencoe 150 Hall of Fame 

with detailed information 

about each person.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

LF resident ‘had to help’ 

save life of driver in 

Northbrook crash 

When former firefighter 

Frank Visconti and retired 

police officer Russell 

Parker were preparing 

to exit Interstate 294 

in Northbrook near Willow 

Road on Jan. 17, they 

saw debris flying in the 

air. 

Visconti, a 53-year-old 

lifelong Lake Forest resident 

and former member 

of the Knollwood Fire Department, 

noticed a Toyota 

SUV struck the rear of a 

truck tractor semi-trailer. 

Immediately, from the 

looks of the SUV, Visconti 

knew the driver was seriously 

injured. 

Visconti jumped into 

action and ran up to the 

scene, while Parker called 

police. When Visconti approached 

the vehicle, he 

was met by another onlooker 

— who claimed 

the driver of the SUV “has 

to be dead,” Visconti recalled. 

“I told her I didn’t believe 

it and knew the driver 

had to be alive,” Visconti 

told The Leader. 

He looked inside the 

vehicle and saw the driver, 

a 30-year-old Orland 

Park woman, was bleeding 

from her head and 

was looking straight at 

him. 

“She started saying 

‘please help me, please 

help me, I can’t move 

anything,’” Visconti said. 

“She kept saying, ‘don’t 

leave me.’ There was no 

way I was going to leave 

her there.” 

Visconti saw the 

hood of the vehicle was 

barely hanging on, so 

he pulled it off, jumped 

onto the engine, and 

began breaking the 

windshield. 

When he got into the 

car, he worked to move 

some of the pressure off 

of her, while applying 

pressure onto the wound 

on her head. Visconti said 

he recalls giving her neck 

support and continuously 

talking to her to keep her 

alert. 

“She was in pretty bad 

shape,” he said. “I still 

can’t get her face and her 

eyes out of my head.”

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Three new restaurants to 

emerge on the Winnetka 

scene 

The opening of three 

new local restaurants is on 

the horizon, thanks in part 

to a new economic development 

coordinator at the 

Village of Winnetka. 

Cindy Plante was hired 

late last year and began 

her Village work in December. 

Plante comes 

from a career in Evanston, 

where her focus was 

set on the main Dempster 

mile, she said. 

“First, there were two 

small merchant associations 

that doing some neat 

events but didn’t have the 

bandwidth to put on what 

they wanted and needed,” 

Plante said. “I helped them 

produce more events and 

improve the quality of 

events they were putting 

on while expanding their 

marketing.” 

In Winnetka, Plante 

hopes to fulfill similar desires, 

plus more as outlined 

in the Downtown Master 

Plan and Streetscape Plan. 

“My sense from talking 

with people in the community 

and reviewing the 

Downtown Master Plan 

is that people want more 

places to eat in our business 

districts, and the 

market appears poised to 

deliver on that as areas 

like Wicker Park and the 

West Loop grapple with 

an oversaturation of hospitality 

businesses,” Plante 

said. “That this is coming 

at the same time the village 

is working to implement 

the Downtown Plan and 

Streetscape plan makes for 

some really exciting possibilities.” 

The three businesses 

happen to all be restaurants 

targeting to open in 

2019. 

“My guess is that Tocco 

will open in April; Boutique 

Bites in the summer; 

Spirit Elephant later this 

year,” Plante said.

Former Loyola teacher 

faces additional charges 

Jason Addy 

Contributing Editor 

Mathew 

Laird, a former 

North 

Shore teacher 

who was 

arrested in 

October on 

child pornography 

Laird 

and sexual assault charges, 

is expected to face a 

number of new charges 

after two additional victims 

came forward with 

allegations against him, 

according to a Cook 

County prosecutor. 

Assistant State’s Attorney 

Jacyln Lantz said 

authorities will file the 

charges against Laird before 

his next hearing on 

Feb. 7, but she declined 

to comment further on the 

charges. 

Laird, 33, of Glenview, 

has been in Cook County 

Jail since he was arrested 

Oct. 23 on five felony 

charges, including child 

pornography and criminal 

sexual assault. 

Laird was charged 

with sexual assault after 

a young woman reported 

to authorities that Laird 

assaulted her in late 2012 

or early 2013 following a 

night of studying. 

During the search, police 

discovered Laird 

videotaped a portion of 

the alleged assault and 

uploaded it to an adultpornography 

website 

without the woman’s consent. 

Police also discovered 

“several hundred” 

pornographic images and 

videos, some of which depicted 

adults engaging in 

sexual activity with children 

as young as 3 years 

old, prosecutors have said. 

Authorities filed almost 

60 additional charges 

against Laird in the weeks 

following his arrest after 

several victims came forward 

to say they appeared 

in some of the pornographic 

materials police 

found when they searched 

Laird’s home. 

No bail 

Laird is currently being 

held at the Cook County 

jail without bail after 

pleading not guilty on 

Dec. 3 to more than five 

dozen felony charges. 

Prosecutors have 

charged the former Loyola 

Academy and North Shore 

Special Education District 

educator with one count 

of aggravated criminal 

assault, a Class X felony; 

one count of criminal 

sexual assault — nonconsensual, 

a Class 1 felony; 

two counts of aggravated 

criminal sexual abuse, a 

Class 2 felony; two counts 

of criminal sexual abuse 

— non-consensual and 

one count of non-consensual 

dissemination of private 

sexual images, both 

Class 4 felonies. 

Laird’s charges also include 

55 counts related to 

child pornography: 

• Dissemination of child 

pornography: victim under 

13 - Class X felony - 

four counts 

• Dissemination of child 

pornography - Class 1 felony 

- 10 counts 

• Possession of child 

pornography: victim under 

13 - Class 2 felony - 

19 counts 


pornography - Class 2 

felony - 10 counts 


pornography (videos) - 

Class 3 felony - 12 counts. 

Laird also pleaded 

not guilty to two Class 1 

felony counts of criminal 

sexual assault - victim 

between 13 and 17. 

Teaching, coaching career 

Laird worked as a teacher 

at North Shore Academy 

in Highland Park 

from the fall of 2017 until 

Sept. 18, 2018, when the 

Glenview Police Department 

notified the district 

of its ongoing criminal 

investigation into Laird 

for alleged internet crime 

against children. 

He taught English at 

Loyola Academy in Wilmette 

from 2011 to 2014 

and served as a scholastic 

bowl moderator at 

the school from 2004 to 

2008 and from 2010 to 

2014, according to Loyola 

Academy administrators. 

Before his arrest in 

October, Laird was employed 

by Amazon, his 

attorney has said.

Future development plan passed amid

An hour before the New 

Trier District 203 School 

Board unanimously passed 

the New Trier 2030 school 

development plan Tuesday 

night, Jan. 22, anti-racism 

activists ensured that better 

handling of diversity would 

become first among equals 

in the board’s discussion of 

the plan. 

The issue of minority 

students’ standing in school 

life was further debated

an examination of why 

minorities’ participation 

in extracurricular activities 

was shown to be much

lower than white and Asian 

students. 

The board enthusiastically 

backed New Trier 

2030, a school- and community-wide 

effort to chart 

a course for the future of 

the school. Six frameworks 

were identified to “prepare 

our students and our school 

to make an impact in the 

world over the next decade 

and beyond.” 

But with New Trier’s 

nationally-acclaimed academic 

reputation long established, 

parents involved 

in the new activist Healing 

Everyday Racism in Our 

Schools group suggested 

the school may have to 

play catch-up ball in educating 

students on dealing 

with diversity and boosting 

tolerance. 

Addressing the board, 

Laurie Goldstein, mother 

of a 2014 alum, relayed the 

level of preparedness her 

son possessed to interact 

in college with students of 

color. 

“He said New Trier did 

a terrible job in that regard, 

‘while being wonderful’ in 

other college preparatory 

respects,“ Goldstein said. 

“He felt he came from an 

exceptional school, and it 

didn’t teach him about [relating 

to minorities]. We 

could strengthen our projustice, 

anti-racism program 

[in New Trier 2030].” 

Perron Thurston, an 

African-American and 20- 

year resident of District 

203, said his child heard 

remarks about skin color in 

elementary school. Thurston 

remembered his own 

sense of being offended 40 

years ago when the son of 

the dean of students at his 

middle school dressed up 

in blackface and chains for 

Halloween. 

“We need to create a 

better, more emotionally 

safe environment,” he said. 

“Progress has been made, 

but we still have many rivers 

to cross.” 

Meanwhile, Alan Hatchett, 

of Wilmette, will have 

a huge investment in New 

Trier 2030. A Wilmette resident, 

Hatchett said he is a 

“future New Trier parent.” 

“It will get a little ugly, 

it will get a little tough 

and we’ll get through it,” 

Hatchett said of the effort 

to combat racism. 

Superintendent Paul 

Sally detailed the six 

frameworks: intellectual 

engagement; growth and 

readiness; student personal 

growth; engagement 

and well-being; culture, 

climate and equity; leadership 

throughout the school; 

community engagement, 

partnerships and governance, 

and finance, facilities 

and human resources. 

Two frameworks — culture, 

climate and equity, 

and community engagement, 

partnership and governance 

— would seem to 

particularly cover the issues 

raised by the HEROS 

speakers. The top goal of 

culture, climate and equity 

were “to create a culture 

of equity that appreciates 

and celebrates differences 

across the school by exploring 

individual identities 

and the identities of 

others.” 

When discussion was 

opened after Sally’s presentation, 

board members 

Keith Dronen and Lori 

Goldstein — no relation 

to the HEROS speaker — 

immediately commented 

on the need to address the 

diversity and anti-racism 

issues in New Trier 2030. 

“I’m interested in how 

that goal [creating a culture 

of equity] works out,” 

Dronen said. “I think it’s a 

very important topic. I want 

to see what the administration 

comes up with their 

goals and there’s going to 

be more engagement. “ 

HEROS has established 

a line of communication 

with the administrators. 

The organization also was 

interested in a report on 

participation in school 

activities that stated nonwhite, 

non-Asian students 

were involved at a much 

lower rate than the rest of 

the school body 

Assistant Superintendent 

Tim Hayes said 85 to 87 

percent of students overall 

are involved in extracurricular 

activities on the 

New Trier campuses. Some 

50 percent participate in 

athletics. 

Participation has been 

steady in recent years with 

the exception of a decline 

in the performing arts. 

However, Asian students 

had a higher involvement 

in performing arts than other 

ethnic groups. 

Hayes said participation 

was highest for freshmen, 

at the Northfield campus. 

Then a decline was noticed 

as students move 

into their second year. 

Hayes proposed that nonparticipating 

sophomores 

by surveyed as to their 

motivations.

Chicago Botanic Garden releases 

plants in pop culture podcast 

Christine Adams 


Winter fun at Watts 

Watts Below Zero entertains families on MLK Jr. Day 

Chicago Botanic Garden 

in Glencoe is spreading its 

love and appreciation for 

plants to an unexpected 

place: the airwaves. The 

podcast, “Botanical Mystery 

Tour,” debuted this 

month, focusing on “the 

real-life science behind the 

plants in pop culture,” as 

their tagline says. 

In each episode, CBG 

social media specialist 

Jasmine Leonas and CBG 

writer Erica Masini meet 

with a scientist from the 

garden and together they 

all discuss plants from 

popular TV shows, movies 

and books, and how those 

measure up to their reallife 

inspirations. 

For example, in the inaugural 

four episodes, the 

podcast has explored flora, 

such as the sarlacc in “Star 

Wars” and the mushrooms 

of “Alice in Wonderland;” 

the “Star Wars” episode 

opened the opportunity to 

discuss carnivorous plants 

with a CBG horticulturist, 

and for “Alice in Wonderland” 

the garden’s chief 

scientist came in to discuss 

the fungi. 

For each episode, Leonas 

and Masini brainstorm 

their many different 

ideas, then think of 

people at Chicago Botanic 

Garden who might be 

interested in discussing 

these particular pop culture 

plants. Working with 

producer Charles Goss, 

all episodes are recorded 

and edited at the garden 

before being made available 

to the public. 

When Leonas first 

brought the idea of a pop 

culture-focused plant podcast 

to Masini, Masini’s 

response said it all. 

Jasmine Leonas (left) and Erica Masini are the 

masterminds behind Chicago Botanic Garden’s 

“Botanical Mystery Tour” podcast. Photo Submitted 

“This is the nerdiest 

thing I’ve ever heard. Let’s 

do it,” she said. 

Being fans of podcasts 

themselves, Leonas and 

Masini knew that their listeners 

would like hearing 

about familiar stories, but 

also recognized their opportunity 

to enhance those 

stories with botany. 

“There is amazing science 

and research happening 

here that we wanted to 

highlight,” said Masini, 

and because of that the two 

have prioritized giving scientists 

a voice in their conversations. 

Light-hearted stories 

“Dennis the Menace” and 

“The Simpsons” were discussed 

as they both present 

fictionalized versions of 

the corpse flower, which 

bloomed at Chicago Botanic 

Garden in 2018. But 

other than that episode, the 

podcast has so far relied on 

science fiction and fantasy 

stories. 

“There’s something 

about sci-fi and fantasy,“ 

Leonas said. “They’re not 

the real world, but there 

are connections to the real 

world, and we want to 

bridge that gap.” 

Other stories that the 

pair plan to delve into include 

the “Harry Potter” 

and “Game of Thrones” 

series, as well as “Black 

Panther.” 

One thing both Leonas 

and Masini are looking 

forward to is hearing from 

their listeners and engaging 

in a dialogue with 

them. The pair welcome 

questions and comments, 

and are accepting ideas for 

plant-based pop culture to 

discuss, as well as questions 

that they could pass 

along to the garden scientists 

to answer. 

“Botanical Mystery 

Tour” is available on the 

Chicago Botanic Garden 

website, as well as through 

traditional podcast software 

such as iTunes. While 

there is no set schedule 

for the upcoming release 

dates, the team is already 

at work editing their next 

episode and will continue 

planning and recording 

throughout the year. 

Though Chicagoland is 

still facing a long winter of 

dormant plant life, at least 

this is one more way that 

CBG is allowing people to 

appreciate flora — without 

even having to leave their 

homes.

right opportunities?” he 

said. 

But the trend of much 

lower participation by 

minorities will definitely 

attract the attention of 

the board and administration. 

Specifically, Board 

President Greg Robitaille 

wanted to know 

from a local community 

sponsor. We’ll be printing 

the winning entry — decided 

by The Glencoe 

Anchor staff — in the 

Valentine’s Day issue on 

Feb. 14 (there’s no better 

gift, am I right?). 

We’ll also run the 

other running-up entries 

online on our website 

(GlencoeAnchor.com) and 

our social media pages, 

including Facebook and 

Twitter (give us a “like” 

while you’re there!). 

Here’s an excerpt from 

last year’s winning entry 

from Glencoe residents 

Alison and John Fitchwell. 

“Newly single, I was in 

the middle of a two-week 

vacation with my parents 

visiting friends and family 

on the East Coast and to 

attend my step brothers 

wedding in Cape May, 

New Jersey. Surrounded 

by all the love and romance 

of the weekend, 

why, while believing the 

board’s emphasis on the 

HEROS’ issues was “very 

logical.” 

“There’s clearly something 

in the data that’s telling 

us we have an issue 

and a concern we need to 

dig into and understand,” 

Robitaille said of the 

participation issue. 

“It’s a combination of 

the things that we do in the 

Don’t just 

list your 

real estate 

property... 

I was determined to not 

have a good time. 

“So the night of the 

wedding I was making 

myself miserable alone 

at a table when I spied 

a handsome young man 

talking to a crowd of 

women. I don’t know what 

it was about him, maybe 

the boyish good looks, 

or ear to ear smile, but I 

decided right there and 

then I was going to marry 

that man. 

“Of course, I realized I 

was going to need to tell 

him and so, my courage 

buoyed by a few glasses 

of wine I broke through 

the circle to announce 

that he should marry me. 

No hello, no introduction.” 

So while you’re stuck 

inside avoiding the wintery 

mess outside, don’t 

forget to grab your laptop 

and take a few minutes 

to enter our How We Met 

Contest. Spread the love! 

classroom and the things 

we talk about, and encourage 

our students to engage 

with each other. Part of 

it is societal. But we can 

certainly do our part here 

to address some of the 

concerns of the HEROS 

folks, and increase participation 

in extra-curricular 

activities with minority 

groups. We’ve got a lot 

of work to do.”

Junior high actors ‘follow their heart’ in ‘Xanadu’ 

Alexa Burnell 


Actors from the Glencoe 

Junior High Project 

are hopelessly devoted to 

their upcoming production 

“Xanadu,” a humorous, 

musical, based on the 

1980s Olivia Newton-John 

film fiasco, sure to keep 

the audience thoroughly 

amused with roller-skating, 

song and laughter. 

Performances run Thursday-Sunday, 

Jan. 31-Feb 

3, at Central School’s Misner 

Auditorium. 

The GJHP is a nonprofit 

organization providing 

opportunities for middle 

school students in the areas 

of civic engagement, 

performing arts and social 

activities. The organization 

underwrites, produce 

and support all aspects of 

the annual, inclusive, nocut 

musical experience 

featuring junior high students 

from Glencoe. 

Parents contribute to 

the program’s success by 

playing a vital role in the 

behind-the-scenes affairs. 

For example, mom Diane 

Miller helps with ticket 

sales, while others assist 

with publicity, marketing 

and more, ensuring that 

their children have an opportunity 

to participate in 

the performing arts. 

“What’s great about the 

GJHP productions is that 

they are open to all kids 

and there are no cuts, giving 

all kids in Glencoe a 

chance to participate in 

a community musical or 

play,” Miller said. “There 

is an opportunity for all, 

regardless if the interest is 

dancing, singing, set design 

or stage crew. In addition, 

I’ve seen new friendships 

form and many kids 

gain a new sense of selfconfidence.” 

Eight-grader Amanda Bloom plays Melpomene. 

Miller’s daughter, Rachel, 

has performed with 

GJHP for three years now, 

claiming to be “obsessed” 

with theater. For her, the 

annual production is one 

she always looks forward 

to, and said that “Xanadu” 

is perhaps, one of the best. 

“’Xanadu’ definitely 

has the most complicated 

plot, but also one 

of the most fun,” Rachel 

Miller said. “The storyline 

teaches you to follow 

your heart, and the 1980s 

music just makes it super 

fun. I’m cast as Calliope, 

one of the evil muses, and 

I cannot tell you how fun 

it is to play this role and 

really embrace my character.” 

Similarly, Sophia Kalil, 

12, also a Central student, 

plays Thalia, another evil 

muse, joining the cast for 

the first time and loving 

every minute. 

“I’ve always been drawn 

to music and acting, but 

this is my first real production,” 

Kalil said. “I’ve had 

the best time and have met 

so many new people. What 

I most love about ‘Xanadu’ 

is that it is a comedy, 

so not everything has to be 

perfect; it’s OK for us to 

bring our own twist to the 

character and even add a 

little improv.” 

‘Xanadu’ Performances 

• 7 p.m. Thursday- 

Friday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1 

• 3 p.m. Saturday, 

Feb. 2 

• 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 3 

Owen McAdams, 14, 

plays Sonny, the mortal 

character who strives 

to build a disco with the 

Greek muse Kira, whom 

he quickly falls in love 

with. McAdams describes 

Sonny as loud and funny, 

enjoying the chance to 

portray such a vivacious 

character. For him too, 

theater is a new experience 

and one he has enjoyed 

very much. 

“I play hockey and also 

sing in the chorus, but I’ve 

never been in a performance 

like this. I figured 

since this is my last year at 

Central, I should try something 

new,” McAdams said. 

“The experience has been 

so much fun and so much 

work. Memorizing all the 

lines and all the rehearsals 

is definitely a commitment, 

but one that was so worth 

it. I met new friends and 

tried something entirely 

new. It’s been a blast and I 

know the audience is going 

to love the show.” 

Owen’s mother, Kim, 

Sixth-grader Ryan Kein plays Mati during rehearsal of the Glencoe Junior High’s 

production of “Xanadu.” Photos by Gerri Fernandez/22nd Century Media 

The cast of “Xanadu” running though the finale during a rehearsal. 

said the new opportunity 

has shown her a different 

side to her son. 

“I love that [Owen] gave 

this shot, because he has 

made friends outside of 

his usual circle and developed 

a side of himself that 

he may not have otherwise 

known existed,” Kim Mc- 

Adams said. “I think this 

experience has given him a 

huge sense of accomplishment; 

overall, I see all the 

kids walking away from 

the experience with a new 

level of confidence.” 

“Xanadu” is directed 

by director Adam Busch, 

choreographer Julie Salk 

and musical director Mike 

O’Mara. Performances 

are held 7 p.m. Thursday- 

Friday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1; 3 

p.m. Saturday, Feb 2; and 

1 p.m. Sunday, Feb 3. 

Tickets are $15 and can be 

purchased at the door or at 

www.gjhp.org. 

One hundred percent of 

ticket sales and 10 percent 

of food sales benefit future 

GJHP activities, so come 

support the cause and have 

a good laugh or two while 

doing so.

Yntema was born in Chicago 

in 1928, the son of 

Theodore and Kathryn 

(Van der Veen) Yntema, 

both of Holland, Mich.. 

He moved to suburban 

Winnetka for his years at 

New Trier High School. 

He attended Swarthmore 

College, where he earned a 

Bachelor’s in Mechanical 

Engineering, and married 

classmate, Marcia (Taylor) 

Yntema. After graduation 

in 1951, he spent two 

years at the Chrysler Institute 

of Engineering in Detroit, 

receiving a Master of 

Automotive Engineering 

degree. Then he served in 

the U.S. Merchant Marine, 

achieving a Third Assistant 

Engineer’s license - Steam 

or Diesel, any Power, any 

Waters. 

Yntema moved to St. 

Croix, USVI with Marcia 

and their two children, 

Sharon and Lisa in 1954. 

They had two more children, 

Laurie and Van in 

1958 and 1961. Yntema 

designed and built the family 

house outside Frederiksted 

which survived two 

major hurricanes intact. He 

worked at many jobs in the 

USVI during his 33 year 

residence there: he was 

Sales Manager of Merwin’s 

Hardware and Building 

Supplies, operated his 

own store selling and servicing 

bicycles, diving and 

marine supplies; and was 

a Mobil Oil distributor. 

He collected and shipped 

tropical aquarium fish to 

the continental U.S.; was 

a commercial trap fisherman; 

and worked for the 

V.I. Bureau of Fish and 

Wildlife as an Environmental 

Specialist for his 

last 18 years there. While 

on St. Croix, John and colleagues 

published several 

scientific papers and an 

“Annotated Checklist of 

the Birds, Mammals, and 

Reptiles of the Virgin Islands 

and Puerto Rico.” 

Yntema even discovered 

a new species of scorpion 

which was named after 

him: Heteronebo yntemai. 

In 1980, he married 

his second wife, Margo 

(Hewitt) Yntema. Their 

daughter, Sylvie, was born 

on St. Croix. He retired in 

1987 to Ithaca, N.Y. with 

his wife and daughter. 

For a number of years, 

Yntema was a member of 

the Town of Ithaca Conservation 

Board, where he 

served on several committees. 

He also was on the 

Boards of the Citizens’ 

Planning Alliance and the 

Tompkins Smart Growth 

Society and enjoyed tutoring 

ESL adult students. 

Yntema was very interested 

in natural history, 

was an avid birder, and 

kept busy taking care of 

his family, home, pets and 

garden. 

Yntema is survived by 

his wife, Margo; daughters 

Sharon Yntema and 

Sylvie Yntema of Ithaca, 

Lisa (Gerald Groner) Yntema

New Trier Township highlights elder care professionals at workshops 

Alexa Burnell 


New Trier Township is 

keeping a watchful eye on 

the community, initiating a 

series of workshops meant 

to point the area’s most 

vulnerable residents in the 

right direction. 

On Thursday, Jan. 24, at 

New Trier Township Hall 

in Winnetka, the series 

began when elder care experts 

from the North Shore 

Senior Options — a subsidiary 

of the North Shore 

Senior Center — shared 

information about a new 

psychotherapy program 

that helps older adults deal 

with anxiety, insomnia, 

concentration, depression 

and problem solving. 

Supervisor Alan Goldberg 

opened the meeting, 

explaining the township’s 

primary goal is to serve the 

interests and needs of the 

community. 

“Our goal here today is 

to highlight professionals 

who specialize in elder care 

issues, letting our community 

know what is available 

to them,” Goldberg said. 

“We have a wonderful partnership 

with the [The North 

Shore Senior Center] and 

know that the people here 

today are the ones who can 

help if a loved one is struggling.” 

“Through data we have 

gathered, topics surrounding 

senior care, youth services 

and special needs 

services were of particular 

interest,” said Jack Macholl, 

marketing and communications 

director. “As a 

result, we have begun a series 

of workshops that will 

unite experts in these fields 

with residents, teaching our 

community about who to 

Alan Goldberg, New Trier Township supervisor, 

discusses ways to assist the senior population 

Thursday, Jan. 24, at New Trier Township Hall. Alexa 

Burnell/22nd Century Media 

turn to when help is needed. 

Our overarching goal 

is to make residents more 

aware of the types of services 

that are available to 

them within the township.” 

Macholl introduced the 

experts speakers, including 

Terry McHugh, Carrie Cutler 

and Eddie Meyer. 

McHugh began with recent 

statistics regarding seniors 

and happiness. 

“What the data shows is 

that people are happiest at 

the beginning and end of 

their lives — a surprising 

finding for most,” McHugh 

said. “In our work, what 

we’ve found is that the 

happiest seniors are the 

ones who view growing 

older as an honor, seeing 

their age as something to 

be proud of. They focus 

on their accomplishments, 

not on what they lose with 

age. They realize they can 

impart wisdom on others 

and are better equipped to 

handle life’s ups and downs 

because they have experience 

to draw on.” 

McHugh also cited research 

stating seniors are 

often one of the happiest 

populations because they 

view time as precious, 

wasting less time on what 

they should be doing and 

more on what they want to 

be doing. They are more in 

touch with nature, spirituality 

and recognize the world 

is bigger than themselves. 

That being said, even the 

most optimistic senior can 

succumb to some of the 

physical realities that come 

with growing older — vision 

impairment, hearing 

loss, cardiovascular decline, 

joint pain and fatigue 

are the real side affects of 

aging, putting natural limits 

on day-to-day life. 

“Our goal through psychotherapy 

is to build a 

relationship with the client, 

so that they feel heard 

and understood,” McHugh 

said. “We strive to see 

things from their point of 

view, while working together 

to find methods of 

coping with the new reality. 

Our focus is on collaboration 

— we want them to see 

us as their teammate, helping 

them work through life 

challenges.” 

Cutler interjected, adding 

collaboration is critical 

to a successful therapeutic 

outcome, particularly with 

an older population.

Castelli’s Pizza changes name, keeps community support 

Erin Yarnall 

Contributing Editor 

For more than 16 years, 

Castelli’s Pizza in Northbrook 

was known by a different 

name — Piero’s. 

While it shared a menu 

and website with the two 

other Piero’s locations in 

Highland Park and in Wilmette, 

owner Mike Castelli 

wanted to make a break 

from the other locations. 

And with that, the restaurant 

became Castelli’s Pizza 

in April 2018. 

With the new name came 

new menu options, namely 

the panino, which Castelli 

astutely describes as “a giant 

sandwich.” 

The paninos, which were 

added to the menu “about 

six months ago,” have become 

a popular lunch-time 

staple. 

“It took us a long time 

to come up with that, we 

just experimented back and 

forth with what’s good,” 

Castelli said about the creation 

of his panino sandwiches. 

According to Castelli, 

the sandwich was born out 

of a desire to have a menu 

item that sets the pizza 

place apart from its competitors. 

“It was like, what can we 

do that nobody else around 

here is doing,” Castelli 

said. “Everybody has the 

beef sandwich, the chicken 

wings and the meatball 

sandwiches.” 

While the restaurant has 

been making a few changes, 

they’ve kept one thing 

the same, which is their 

dedication to the community 

and their customers. 

Castelli’s Pizza caters 

at various Northbrook 

schools, and Castelli makes 

a point to try to get to know 

his regular customers. 

“The people around here 

are really, pretty cool,” 

Castelli said. “Especially

Sundays 

the ones that come in all the 

time and you get to know 

them.” 

He attributes some of 

the restaurant’s success to 

the relationships the staff 

is able to form with its customers. 

“I think the [customer] 

likes to have someone behind 

the counter know who 

they are. It really brings a 

more personal touch to everything 

we’ve got going 

on,” Castelli said. 

Recently, a group of 

22nd Century Media editors 

stopped by Castelli’s 

Pizza to check out the 

menu for ourselves. 

The first thing we were 

offered to try is the restaurant’s 

pan pizza ($19.75 for 

a large pizza with one ingredient), 

with thick crust, 

and topped with mozzarella 

cheese, spinach and a hefty 

amount of sauce. It’s guaranteed 

to leave anyone feeling 

full after a slice or two. 

In addition to the pan 

pizza, we sampled Castelli’s 

thin-crust ($15.50 for 

a large) as well. The pizza, 

made with a traditional flat 

crust, can be topped with a 

variety of ingredients and 

sauces. 

We also sampled the 

restaurant’s newly-added 

turkey panino sandwich 

($7.99). The heavy sandwich 

is filled with turkey, 

bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, 

mayo and mozzarella 

cheese. It’s served hot on 

homemade bread, and with

one ingredient), with thick crust, and topped with 

mozzarella cheese, spinach and a hefty amount of 

sauce. Photos by Alyssa Groh/22nd Century Media 

Italian dressing on the side. 

The restaurant also offers 

up pasta, which can be customizable. 

The restaurant 

offers up four types of pasta 

— spaghetti, penne, rigatoni 

and fettucini, with a 

variety of sauces to choose 

from as well, including 

marinara, creamy tomato, 

butter, Bolognese and Alfredo. 

Additionally, the 

pasta can be served with 

sautéed vegetables, meatballs, 

chicken, eggplant or 

baked on cheese. 

We were served a large 

portion of penne with 

creamy tomato sauce 

($8.95), which was reminiscent 

of a vodka sauce. 

The pasta can be ordered 

as a meal, which serves one 

person, or for a party, which 

serves eight to 12 people. 

To finish off on a light 

note, we also sampled Castelli’s 

small house vegetarian 

salad ($6.40), which 

serves one to three people. 

They also offer large portions, 

which serve four to 

six, and a party size, which 

serves eight to 12 people. 

The salad is filled with a 

mix of iceberg lettuce and 

spinach, and is topped with 

tomatoes, green peppers, 

onions and black olives. 

Salads are served with a 

choice of dressing, including 

house Italian, Ceasar, 

ranch, honey Dijon, fat free 

creamy Italian and a homemade 

balsamic vinaigrette.

The New Trier senior 

is a member of both the

When did you start 

bowling and why? 

I started bowling my 

freshman year. My sister 

was on the team before me 

and she loved it so I decided 

to join.

Fourth Quarter 

To finish things off, the 

guys preview an important 

basketball doubleheader 

between GBS and New 

Trier. 

What’s your favorite 

part about bowling? 

I love the girls. It’s a 

group of people I would 

not have met if I hadn’t 

joined the team. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a 

match? 

During a match, whether 

it’s bowling or badminton, 

I always do the same to 

set up before each ball or 

point. It’s not so much a 

superstition but it helps me 

focus. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I’m afraid of cats. I 

don’t know why they just 

freak me out. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

I really want to go 

Greece. Mamma Mia may 

have something to do with 

that. 

What’s been your 

favorite moment at 

New Trier? 

Sophomore year my 

doubles partner, Tess (Fallon), 

and I advanced to 

state for the first time in 

badminton. We weren’t 

expecting it at all, but I 

guess things worked out 

for us. 

What’s your favorite 

restaurant and what 

do you get there? 

Taco Vida is one of my 

all time favorites. Everything 

there is amazing but 

my go to is the shrimp tacos. 

What’s your guilty 

pressure? 

Photo submitted 

I love cape cod chips. I 

could sit down and eat a 

whole bag. 

If you won a million 

dollars, what would 

you do with it? 

I’d probably pay for college 

and then order a lot of 

take out. 

If you could play 

another sport you 

don’t currently play, 

what would it be and 

why? 

I wish I tried volleyball. 

It seems like a lot of fun 

and I’ve got the height.

Malnati relishing his 

role with Northwestern 

Kate Constable 


Ask most high school 

seniors and they’ll tell you 

that applying to colleges is 

a stressful, daunting time in 

their young lives. 

Ask Northfield native 

Tino Malnati and he’ll tell 

you the exact opposite. 

Why? Malnati only applied 

to Northwestern. 

With the cozy confines 

of Welsh-Ryan Arena just 

six miles south of Malnati’s 

hometown, the New Trier 

graduate grew up a Northwestern 

fan. So, when the 

opportunity to become a 

walk-on on the men’s basketball 

team came knocking, 

Malnati knew that was 

a door he needed to answer. 

“Having the opportunity 

to be on a team with a major 

program and knowing that 

we would have a chance to 

do something special our 

freshman year, and the academics, 

of course, those are 

hard to pass up,” Malnati 

said. 

While choosing to play 

for the Wildcats may have 

been an easy decision, the 

reality of going from team 

captain and All-Central 

Suburban League South 

honoree in high school to 

searching for meaningful 

minutes in college was another 

challenge. 

“Obviously it’s hard 

when you come from high 

school and you play every 

minute of every game and 

then you come here where 

you’re maybe going to play 

a couple minutes if your 

team is up by a bunch or 

down by a bunch,” Malnati 

said. “You just need to embrace 

the opportunity and 

have fun.” 

Malnati’s father, Rick 

New Trier grad Tino Malnati plays in a Northwestern 

men’s basketball game. NORTHWESTERN ATHLETICS 

Malnati, coached at New 

Trier for 12 years before 

stops at Loyola University- 

Chicago and Fenwick High 

School. 

According to Northwestern 

head coach Chris Collins, 

growing up a coach’s 

son had a major impact on 

Malnati’s ability to succeed 

in the walk-on role. 

“To be a walk-on, it requires 

great sacrifice and 

kind of understanding what 

that means,” Collins said. 

“You’ve got to know how 

to play, you’ve got to be a 

good player, but you have 

to understand what your 

role entails and that’s making 

sure the guys are getting 

better in every way 

every day. 

“I knew he would understand 

that very well. He’s 

got a great basketball IQ, 

he comes from a basketball 

family and he’s a good 

player, so I knew he would 

fit in really well with our 

culture and really help us.” 

With walk-ons, there’s 

often a notion of inferiority 

to scholarship players. 

Not with Malnati and not 

at Northwestern. 

“You kind of realize that 

you’re pretty much a family 

and no one person is 

greater than the other,” he 

said. 

And with rigorous academic 

demands that accompany 

a student-athlete, 

the same goes off the court. 

“The academic support 

for all athletes is equal,” 

said Malnati, who earned 

Academic All-Big Ten 

honors last season. “If I 

need a tutor or something 

for one of my classes, it’s 

the same process as Dererk 

Pardon or Vic Law would 

have, so that’s awesome.” 

As a redshirt sophomore, 

Malnati has yet to see significant 

playing time, yet 

his impact is consistently 

felt throughout the program. 

“He brings a lot,” Pardon 

said. “He’s a person that’s 

not going to do as much 

on the court, but he does a 

lot off the court in terms of 

keeping us upbeat, keeping 

us confident.” 

“He’s a guy that picks 

things up really well, so the 

walk-ons are really important 

in game preparation,” 

Collins said. “Because of 

his IQ and because of his 

knowledge of the game, 

because of his skill set 

to be able to do different 

things on the court, he really 

helps us in that area in 

a big way.” 

When asked if his experience 

has been worth it, 

Malnati smiled and said, 

“I’m loving it right now.”

NSCDS takes advantage of 

Woodlands miscues for win 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

Turnovers can play a big 

role in determining the outcome 

of a game. Forcing a 

lot of them can help propel 

a team to a win, while being 

the team that commits 

many turnovers can have 

the opposite effect and lead 

to many a loss. 

That was the case when 

Woodlands Academy 

faced off with Independent 

School League rival North 

Shore Country Day School 

on Jan. 23 in Winnetka. 

The Raiders (12-4) 

forced the Wildcats into 

24 turnovers, including 17 

steals, en route to a 51-36 

win. 

“We threw the ball 

away,” Woodlands coach 

Mark Wax said. “We got 

the ball and when we had 

fast breaks or an offensive 

possession, we turned the 

ball over. 

“When you give a team 

like that an extra shot, an 

extra possession on the 

offensive board and turnovers, 

good things aren’t 

going to happen.” 

Defense has always been 

a calling card for North 

Shore under coach Bruce 

Blair and that was evident 

on a cold winter’s day. 

“We played really hard 

on defense,” Blair said. 

“For us to win by that 

much is really good. 

“We rebounded reasonably 

well and our wings 

did a good job deflecting 

their passes. They (Woodlands) 

didn’t have much of 

an offensive rhythm and 

that’s a credit to our kids 

and that’s not the first time 

we’ve done that this year.” 

Woodlands (6-8) kept

down a ball against Woodlands on Jan. 23 in Winnetka. 

Michael Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media 

the game close for a good 

portion of the first half, but 

the Raiders used a big second 

quarter to break a 7-all 

tie after the first period and 

go into the half, leading 

30-20. The lead widened 

to 37-24 in the closing 

minutes of the third quarter, 

but that was as close as 

Woodlands would get, as a 

7-0 run at the start of the 

fourth period ballooned 

the lead to 20 and out of 

reach for the Wildcats. 

“We tried to get the 

ball to the middle and run 

around a little more,” Blair 

said. “I think we were running 

our offense in the 

first half, but as we tell our 

players ‘You’re not chess 

pieces, you’re jazz dancers. 

Go where the music 

takes you.’ 

“Colleen Murdock’s 

3-pointer from the corner 

at the end of the first half 

was big because it gave us 

a 10-point lead and I was 

more comfortable after 

that.” 

Wax knows that to win 

his team can’t commit as 

many turnovers as it did, 

something that hasn’t really 

been happening this 

year, but also knows that 

the more time they spend 

on the court together, the 

better the play will become. 

“We haven’t had too 

many games in January 

and we didn’t protect the 

basketball, but this was 

more of just an occurrence 

that happened today,” he 

said. 

North Shore’s Caroline 

Segal led the way with 

a game-high 22 points, 

while Andrea Pulaski 

scored seven for the Wildcats 

and Ava Pulaski six. 

The two teams now head 

to the playoffs, knowing 

there’s a chance they’ll 

see each other for the third 

time this year in the regional. 

The two faced off 

earlier this season in North 

Shore’s Thanksgiving 

tournament and Blair says 

that he’s seen Woodlands 

come a long way since 

November. 

“They’ve improved a 

lot since our Thanksgiving 

tournament,” he said. 

“They’ve been playing really 

well lately so for our 

girls to play like this says a 

lot about their play.”

Trevians capture conference meet, tie for CSL title 

Michael Wojtychiw, Sports Editor 

New Trier and Glenbrook 

South came into the Central 

Suburban League South’s conference 

meet as the division’s 

top two girls gymnastics teams. 

The Titans went undefeated in 

conference play, while the only 

loss for the Trevians was to the 

Titans. 

Following those storylines, the 

result of the Friday, Jan. 25, meet 

between the rivals shouldn’t 

come as a complete shock to 

anyone with the proceedings at 

New Trier’s Northfield campus 

ending in a tie. 

The Trevians came out winners 

at the conference meet, 

scoring 146.75 points to Glenbrook 

South’s 146.6, but because 

of a tiebreaker since both teams 

had one conference loss after the 

night, the two teams combined to 

share the conference title. 

“We had a good showing, it 

was a good day for us,” Glenbrook 

South coach Steve Gale 

said. “I’m very proud of the 

girls, they did a good job from 

top tobottom. 

“It’s our first time in some 

years winning conference. It’s 

nice that we’re in the hunt for 

it because we’ve got a really 

good conference. We just have 

to do our best and if we do, good 

things are going to happen.” 

For New Trier junior Maeve 

Murdock, earning the win and 

the conference tie was big for 

the Trevians. 

“It was really nice for us to get 

this because we had a tough meet 

at GBS and today, it was great 

for everyone to pull through and 

tie with them,” she said. “Everyone 

is really happy about it.” 

Glenbrook South’s Sheena 

Graham came out on top in the 

all-around, finishing with a score 

of 37.9, ahead of teammate Jenna 

Hartley, who scored a 37.775. 

Murdock was the top New Trier 

all-around gymnast, finishing 

fourth with a total of 36.925. 

“I thought I did well and this 

was my first time hitting four-forfour 

this season, so I was really 

happy,” Graham said. “I didn’t really 

care about the outcome, I just 

wanted it to be a group effort.” 

While she didn’t win any individual 

titles at the meet, Graham 

finished in the top three of all 

four individual events, including 

a second-place finish on the balance 

beam with a score of 9.4. 

Both Graham and Hartley, 

who finished with a 9.35, were 

just two of the gymnasts who 

shined on the beam for the Titans. 

“New Trier, who we were trying 

to stay close to, struggled 

Maeve Murdock flies off the vault at the Central Suburban League 

South’s conference meet Friday, Jan. 25, at New Trier’s Northfield 

campus. Carlos Alvarez/22nd Century Media 

on beam and our girls saw an 

opening, a chance to close the 

gap,” Gale said. “They knew if 

they did their best and stayed on 

beam, that would happen. 

“They work hard, they train 

hard and they were able to stay 

focused today, which is all you 

can ask. We tell our girls ‘just 

do your routine. If you do your 

routine, good things are going to 

happen with the score.’ And they 

did.” 

Pistorius was happy with how 

her squad performed, especially 

on the vault and uneven bars, the 

night’s first two events. 

“Our first two events were 

probably the best we’ve done 

all year,” the New Trier coach 

said. “We have Darcy (Barkal) 

back on vault and that was huge 

for us. We can be better but I’m 

definitely happy with vault and 

bars.” 

After her team struggled on 

the beam — something Pistorius 

said has been the team’s bugaboo 

this year — the Trevians rebounded 

to end the night with a 

bang on the floor. 

“I think because we went from 

beam to floor, we were a little 

warmed up, probably a little 

angry from the falls on beam,” 

Pistorius said. “We worked a 

lot on our dance the last couple 

days and it came out really well 

tonight.” 

Murdock led the way for the 

Trevians on the floor with a runner-up 

score of 9.5, just behind 

Hartley’s 9.55. During Murdock’s 

routine, you could see all 

of her teammates doing the routine 

on the side of the mat, something 

Murdock said is always a 

lot of fun. 

“It makes floor so much better 

and more fun because everyone 

knows your routine,” Murdock 

said. “It makes it not scary but 

when others know your routine, 

it makes it more comfortable and 

you don’t worry about it.” 

In addition to the floor, Hartley 

also won the vault with a score 

of 9.725, beating out New Trier’s 

Darcy Barkal, who scored 

a 9.65. Barkal also took second 

in the bars, scoring a 9.475, just 

behind Maine South’s Collette 

Roth’s 9.5. 

The meet was the last one of 

the regular season, as both teams 

now prepare for the postseason. 

“We still have to have a good 

mindset and we have to be focused 

but at the same time we’re 

all really happy and have to just 

go out there and do what we 

can,” Graham said.

At the end of the morning 

session of the Central 

Suburban League championships 

on Saturday, Jan. 

26, in Vernon Hills, New 

Trier’s Holly Fessler was 

in seventh place in the individual 

standings with a 

161 average for her three 

games but her coach, David 

Hjelmgren, was confident 

that an improved 

performance was forthcoming 

during the afternoon 

session. 

“It was kind of a tough 

morning,” Hjelmgren 

said, referring to her 

games of 169, 141 and 

173. “She’s averaging 178 

on the year. I look for her 

to improve.” 

Fessler began the afternoon 

with two open frames 

but then things changed 

dramatically. She delivered 

strikes in the third 

and fourth frames and got 

a mark every frame thereafter. 

She threw two more 

strikes on her first two 

balls in the 10th frame and 

finished her fourth game 

with a 185. 

In the fifth game Fessler 

sustained her momentum, 

starting out with two strikes 

before leaving two pins on 

each side of the lane on her

first ball in the third frame 

and then knocking down 

two of them to settle for an 

eight. The senior recorded 

a spare in the fourth frame 

followed by strikes in the 

fifth, sixth and seventh, a 

spare in the eighth and a 

nine in the ninth when she 

failed to failed to knock 

down the pin she left standing. 

Fessler concluded her 

fifth game with a strike to 

start the 10th followed by 

a nine that she converted 

for a spare to wind up 

with a 198. 

She then ended the day 

with a 178 in her sixth 

game. 

The afternoon surge enable 

her to conclude the 

Jan. 26 tournament at the 

Brunswick Zone in Vernon 

Hills in second place with 

a 1,044 score that translated 

to a 174 average. 

“At the end of the second 

game I switched to 

a ball I had never used,” 

Fessler said. “It was a little 

rocky to start but I started 

getting used to it and from 

then on it went well.” 

The individual champion 

with a 1084 score was 

Kaiilina Lainez, a freshman 

bowling for the Niles 

Co-Op team made up of 

students from both Niles 

North and Niles West. 

Niles Co-Op was the 

tournament’s team champion 

with a 4,806 score 

followed by Vernon Hills 

(4,538); Evanston (4,446); 

New Trier (4,419); and 

Glenbrook North (3534). 

However, regular-season 

performances are also 

part of the equation for the 

CSL championship and 

Vernon Hills won. 

Fessler was one of two 

New Trier bowlers finishing 

in the top 10 in the 

individual standings — 

senior Samantha Wert was 

ninth with a 923. Wert’s 

best games were a 175 in 

the first and a 176 in the 

sixth.
