Lake Forest City Council 

Forest Park bluff failure project bid approved for nearly $2M 

Todd Marver 

Freelance Reporter 

The Lake Forest City 

Council approved the 

$1.9 million Forest Park 

bluff failure project back 

in October. However, during 

the four-month design 

process that followed, 

five items were discovered 

and recommended 

to be included in the project. 

Therefore, the City 

Council awarded a bid 

to John Keno and Company 

at approximately $2 

million along with a 10 

percent contingency at 

$208,836.34 at its Monday, 

March 4 meeting. 

The 10 percent contingency 

is for any unforeseen 

issues that may arise during 

construction. 

John Keno and Company 

was the lowest qualified 

bid of seven bidders 

and the City has a lot of 

experience working with 

them. Keno completed 

repair work in the north 

beach ravine, Lake Forest 

Cemetery ravine and 

McCormick ravine and 

is scheduled to complete 

work for the City at the 

water plant and the Lake 

and Woodbine ravines this 

spring. 

“We had a lot of qualified 

bidders (seven), going 

through the right 

process and having it result 

with a company that 

we’re very comfortable 

with and have great experience 

with,” Alderman 

Ray Buschmann said. 

During the design process, 

it was determined 

that an additional 80 feet 

of bluff southward required 

fill to provide a 

reliable tie-in point. Also, 

a portion of the sanitary 

sewer was determined 

to be in conflict with the 

proposed fill area, requiring 

its relocation. Additionally, 

the entire road 

and curve was widened 

to provide a higher degree 

of safety when two 

cars pass one another. A 

wood guardrail was designed 

around the curve 

area to provide safer use, 

especially during winter 

months. Lastly, the parking 

lot, which is the original 

parking lot from 1987 

and has been patched 

many times by the City, 

will be reconstructed. 

According to Public 

Works Director Michael 

Thomas, the lot is in poor 

condition and expects that 

no adequate asphalt will 

remain after its use over 

the next six months as a 

staging area. The project 

is set for an estimated 

completion date of mid- 

September. 

“This is a triumph of 

civil engineering planning,” 

Mayor Rob Lansing 

said. “We are grateful 

for it.” 

Weekend hours for 

landscape equipment reduced 

The City Council also 

approved the amendment 

of a section of the City 

Code dealing with the use 

of landscape equipment. 

The City Council voted 

to keep weekday hours of 

use as is. The Monday- 

Friday permitted hours 

for the use of landscape 

equipment is 7:30 a.m.- 

7:30 p.m. However, the 

City Council voted to reduce 

the weekend hours 

of use by 4.5 hours. The 

current Saturday hours 

are 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m. and 

the current Sunday hours 

are 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. The 

new Saturday hours are 

8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and the 

new Sunday hours are 10 

a.m.-5 p.m. The council 

saw this move as a temporary, 

not permanent solution. 

“It is a solution for the 

moment,” Alderman Michelle 

Moreno said. “This 

is something that we will 

continue to address. It is 

not done. This is a step. It 

is not the solution for all 

times. It is the solution for

today. This is a step in the 

right direction.” 

At least for now, the 

council opted to not include 

restrictions on 

decibel levels and types 

of equipment in the ordinance. 

“It is important that we 

have an ordinance that 

is workable, enforceable 

and understandable,” 

Buschmann said. “When 

you start having too many 

details about decibel levels 

and different types of 

equipment, it becomes 

very cumbersome, confusing 

and difficult for enforcement.”

Reptile Rampage focuses on conservation 

Katie Copenhaver 


More than 1,000 people 

came to the annual Reptile 

Rampage to learn about all 

things relating to reptiles. 

A common passion for 

animals, united attendees 

and exhibitors at the 22nd 

annual Reptile Rampage, 

presented by the Wildlife 

Discovery Center Sunday, 

March 10 at the Lake Forest 

Recreation Center. Conservation 

was a main theme 

shared among exhibitors 

and attendees. 

Two new participants 

this year were the Peggy 

Notebaert Nature Museum, 

of Chicago, and the Phillips 

Park Zoo, of Aurora, both 

of which are involved in 

conservation activities. 

Jamie Forberg, a zookeeper 

at Phillips Park, 

explained that one of the 

animals they brought for 

attendees to meet was Ali, 

an ornate box turtle, a species 

that is threatened in Illinois. 

They also brought a 

tiger salamander, which is 

the official state of Illinois 

amphibian and a species 

that many people are unfamiliar 

with. 

Celeste Troon, the curator 

of living collections at 

the Notebaert Museum, 

said one of their key reptile 

conservation efforts is for 

Blanding’s turtles, which 

are endangered in Illinois. 

She and her team have a 

breeding and headstart program 

for them at the museum. 

They were not able to 

bring any of the Blanding’s 

turtles to Reptile Rampage, 

but they did have with them 

one Mississippi mud turtle, 

one Barnaby box turtle, one 

false map turtle, two tree 

frogs and one pickerel frog. 

Ryan McVeigh, the president 

and founder of the 

Madison Area Herpetological 

Society, said there is a 

snake fungal disease affecting 

timber rattle snakes, 

milk snakes and other species 

throughout the Midwest 

and the Northeastern 

United States. His organization 

has been working 

with Wisconsin’s Department 

of Natural Resources 

and the United States Geological 

Survey to collect 

samples of the fungus for 

study. 

“Fungal diseases are difficult 

to treat because they 

are in the environment. We 

can take a snake out of its 

habitat and treat it, but if 

we release it back to the 

wild, it can get the fungus 

again,” he said. 

So far not enough is 

known about the disease to 

eradicate it, but researchers 

see a correlation between 

years with heavy rains and 

years with less rain. It is 

more prevalent during wetter 

years. 

McVeigh said that their 

membership-based, allvolunteer 

organization has 

three branches, located 

in Madision, Milwaukee 

and Appleton, Wis. They 

do about 100 educational 

events a year. Two of those 

are herping outings, similar 

to birding outings, except 

that the participants look 

downward for reptiles rather 

than upward for birds. 

“We show people how to 

look for native species and 

talk about how habitats are 

important,” he said. 

The Friends of Scales 

Reptile Rescue was another 

participating organization. 

Like the Madison Area 

Herpetological Society, 

they are an all-volunteer,

Rampage Sunday, March 10 at the Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Center. Photos by Nicole Carrow/22nd 

Century Media 

nonprofit group. 

“We simply want to 

help animals find homes,” 

said Board Member Anne 

Hughes. 

She said that people can 

relinquish animals to them, 

foster animals through 

them and adopt them. Unlike 

breeders, they do not 

focus on what fancy type of 

morph an animal might be. 

They will simply identify 

the species of an animal for 

those interested in them. 

Speaking of her group’s 

participation at Reptile 

Rampage, Hughes said, 

“Part of this is outreach, 

part of this is desensitizing 

people to reptiles.” 

Another exhibitor was 

The Grove, of Glenview, 

a national historic landmark 

and nature center, on 

grounds previously owned 

by the Kennicott family. 

Animal Care Supervisor 

Patti Kuntzmann said that 

Robert Kennicott was one 

of the first naturalists in Illinois 

who bred reptiles on 

the family’s land. 

She said visitors to The 

Grove can look forward to 

a remodel this year of their 

interpretive center, which is 

where they house a variety 

of live fish, turtles, snakes, 

insects and birds. 

Lake Forest High School 

students Claire Jessen and 

Ryland Wittman attended 

the event together and said 

they both love snakes. 

“I’ve been coming to this 

event since I was a kid,” 

Jessen said. 

“And I’ve been going 

to the Wildlife Discovery 

Center since I was a kid,” 

Wittman said. 

Turtles were among the many reptiles available for attendees 

to touch and learn about. 

Rob Carmichael, the curator 

of the Wildlife Discovery 

Center, was organizer 

of this event. 

“It’s cool to have a mix 

of organizations and private 

hobbyists come together,” 

he said. “We encourage 

hands-on interaction as 

much as possible.” 

He noted that the revenue 

from Reptile Rampage 

goes to support the Wildlife 

Discovery Center, which 

is a living museum and 

biological station located at 

Lake Forest’s Elawa Farm. 

It operates as part of the 

city’s Parks and Recreation 

Department.

Lake Forest High School is an extraordinary

problem facing your coverage area 

and how do you plan to approach it to 

improve your constituents’ quality of 

life? 

District 67 has excellent schools. This 

is the result of a dedicated and talented 

administration and faculty, a generous 

community that supports the district, 

and engaged parents that are active in 

the schools and with fundraising. The 

district is in a strong position. 

While I would not call it a problem, 

the main challenge the Board faces is 

how to balance priorities with increasing 

economic uncertainty. The district 

is currently in a strong financial position. 

But Lake Forest isn’t immune to 

problems affecting Illinois. More people 

are leaving than moving into the state, 

which affects us. Enrollment in the district 

is forecast to decline over the next 

few years with less families moving to 

town. 

I believe that the Board needs to continue 

to accelerate progress against its 

strategic plan to maintain, and enhance, 

the quality of education for students of 

District 67. It’s also important for the 

district to be appropriately recognized 

for the quality of its schools, as we compete 

for attention with families that are 

deciding in which town to raise their 

children. Lake Forest has a well-earned 

reputation for excellent public schools 

and lower taxes relative to other North 

Shore communities. Maintaining this 

balance will be the main challenge facing 

the Board. 

What makes you the best/a top candidate 

for this position? 

Over the last 5 years, I’ve had the 

opportunity to work closely with the 

District 67 Board of Education in several 

roles. Over the last 1.5 years, I’ve 

served on the Finance and Operations 

sub-committee for District 67. As a 

community member on this board, I 

work with current board members and 

administration leadership on the annual 

strategic planning, budgeting, and 

financial operations of the district. This 

role has given me a great view into how 

the Board works with the administration 

on financial decision-making. It’s also 

helped me familiarize myself with the 

differences between private-sector and 

public-sector strategic planning. 

Additionally, as a member of the Lake 

Forest Caucus Committee for 4 years, I 

served on two School Board Search Committees. 

The role of these committees 

was to recruit, interview, and recommend 

potential candidates to both the District 

115 and 67 Boards of Education. As part 

of this process, I interviewed many board 

members, the administration, and community 

members regarding what qualities 

were important for the school board. 

This experience helped me understand 

the role of the Board, and the priorities of 

constituents across Lake Forest. 

Lastly, I believe that my business experience 

working in the technology industry 

will be valuable for the Board. 

I’ve spent my entire career in technology, 

working for some of the largest 

companies in the world like Microsoft, 

as well as Silicon Valley-based startups. 

Technology is impacting all areas of our 

lives, and I believe my work experience 

brings a unique perspective that will 

benefit the students in District 67.

and how do you plan to approach it 

to improve your constituents’ quality 

of life? 

First and foremost is student and 

faculty safety, which has been addressed 

by the District with new front 

entrances. 

In the classrooms, we want to offer 

students and teachers the measurable 

tools (software, hardware) that teachers 

need for the students to be in a 

successful learning environment. It is 

vital for the students to be inspired to 

learn. 

Also, the school District must be 

solvent. Unlike our neighboring Districts 

and the City of Chicago, we 

must not face a District budget crisis 

with teacher layoffs, and the closing 

of schools due to financial reasons. 

We should continue to monitor and 

plan for what will happen in Springfield 

with the state government — as 

our obligations may change. We want 

to maintain a disciplined approach to 

our spending with very conservative 

forecasts to our budget. 

Further, we have a declining enrollment 

in the Elementary levels. 

This means that there are more teachers 

per student, but also means that 

there are less students to serve. My 

role on the Board is to continue the 

outstanding 10-year-plan of the current 

Board and oversight of the Administrative 

staff.

I have legal and business experience 

to offer the District 67 School

projects that are due since I participated 

in those discussions.

67 School Board Member & NSSED 

Governing Board/Leadership Council President 

What do you think is the biggest problem 

facing your coverage area and how do 

you plan to approach it to improve your 

constituents’ quality of life? 

District 67 is currently on a journey toward 

achieving the mission, vision and 

milestones developed, through a process 

that engaged all stakeholder groups, and 

articulated in 2014. The mission of the district 

is to inspire and empower all students 

to maximize their growth as learners and 

develop a balanced sense of self, steadfast 

resiliency and deep respect for others. The 

vision is of an innovative learning community 

that educates without boundaries 

— where all student cultivate their minds, 

create enduring connections and discover 

their passions. Over the past four and a half 

years, a tremendous amount of work has 

gone into moving the district towards these 

incredibly high expectations. If elected to a 

second term, it is my intention to continue 

to support this work as a school board member, 

keeping the needs of our students top of 

mind in all decisions while always making 

sure that tax payer dollars are being used in 

effective, efficient and fiscally responsible 

ways. 

As part of my role on the District 67 

Board I represent our district on the Northern 

Suburban Special Education District 

(NSSED) Leadership Council. At NSSED 

we have recently gone through an in depth 

strategic planning process that engaged 

stakeholders across 18 member school districts. 

It is my hope that, as a result of the 

learning, collaboration and listening that 

we did together, NSSED will not only be 

viewed as a resource moving forward but 

also as a respected partner to all member 

districts as they strive to meet the diverse 

learning needs of all students. It is evident 

based upon input from stakeholders, findings 

in educational research, and current educational 

policy that our communities must 

continue to increase inclusive opportunities, 

promoting high expectations, engagement 

and growth for all learners.

Lake Bluff District 65 Board of Education (4-year term, vote for 3) 

Name: Mark Barry

Residence: Lake Bluff 

Occupation: Retired environmental 

engineer and 

stay-at-home father 

Past local government/ 

relative experience: District 65 school 

board member since 2011 





life? 

In my opinion the biggest challenges 

facing District 65 are four fold: 

New administrative leadership. Our 

current superintendent is retiring in June 

of 2020. The superintendent sets the 

tone for the entire district. Finding a superintendent 

who embraces and furthers 

the values of the Lake Bluff community 

is essential to the future of our schools 

and community. 

Lawsuit resolution. Lake Bluff 

schools are currently facing a complicated 

lawsuit dating back to issues from the 

1970’s. The fair and equitable resolution 

of this suit is critical to the fiscal future 

of District 65 schools. 

Teacher and administrative shortages. 

There is documented shortage of teachers 

and administrators nationally and in 

Illinois. District 65 is seeing less than 

half the teacher applications it did just 5 

years ago. Ensuring our school is staffed 

with brilliant teachers and administrators 

will be an ongoing challenge. 

Finding the balance between academic 

excellence and fiscal prudence. This is 

particularly difficult in light of uncertainty 

surrounding state controlled financial 

issues such as property tax and pension 

reforms and unfunded state mandates 

I will approach all these issues in a 

completely transparent and collaborative 

manner, involving relevant stake holders 

whenever possible, always with an eye 

toward fiscal prudence and academic excellence. 



Experience and leadership. Two fouryear 

terms of prior on the job school 

board experience, six years of which 

were spent as board president. 

Partnerships. Strong existing relationships 

with Village, Park District and 

Lake Forest schools leadership 

I am a proven collaborator, facilitator 

and team builder. 

I am an advocate for transparency and 

open communications.

problem facing your coverage area and 

how do you plan to approach it to improve 

your constituents quality of life? 

I believe the school board’s most 

pressing issues right now are: 

1. Change in administration. Our 

current superintendent is set to retire at 

the end of the school year in 2020. The 

school board is faced with the task of 

interviewing and hiring a new superintendent. 

The new superintendent will 

need to embrace our Lake Bluff School 

District and embrace the values and high 

level of education that our community 

supports and demands. 

2. Keeping a balance between excellence 

in education and fiscal responsibility. 

This is an on-going challenge. The 

school board must continue to balance 

these things so that we attract top level 

teachers and administrators while being 

fiscally responsible. 

3. Resolution of the current law suit. 

Since I am not currently on the school 

board, I am not privy to the details of 

the current law suit that names District 

65. However, if this suit it still ongoing 

when the new board starts, I will work 

towards a fair and equitable solution that 

all parties involved can support. 



1. I am a good listener. I believe it is 

crucial to listen to all sides of a topic and 

take them into consideration before making 

a decision. I am patient and will take 

the time to really listen before working 

towards solutions that are beneficial to 

our schools and our community. 

2. I am invested in the Lake Bluff 

schools. I have 3 children in our District 

65 schools. It is personally important to 

me that we continue to provide an excellent 

education to them and all children in 

Lake Bluff. 

3. I have a JD degree. I graduated cum 

laude from John Marshall Law School 

in 2001. Law school, and my first job 

as a judicial clerk in the Denver Juvenile 

Court, taught me all about reading policy 

and interpreting it. I believe this experience 

will be valuable to the board when 

we need to make new policies or edit/ 

adapt current policy.

life? 

There are three issues that I believe are 

the most pressing: 

1. Hiring new administrative leadership. 

With the upcoming retirement of 

our Superintendent, this board will have 

the responsibility to find the best leader 

possible to guide our district into the future. 

2. Bringing about resolution of the 

lawsuit naming Lake Bluff Schools in a 

way that is fair to all parties and ensures 

the continued success of our school and 

district. 

3. Ensuring long-term financial health 

and stability. According to the 2017 Lake 

Bluff Community survey, 43% of respondents 

indicated they were concerned 

about high property taxes/cost of home 

ownership. One of the primary responsibilities 

of this board is to continue to 

ensure that the district offers students an 

elite education, while doing so in a fiscally-responsible 

manner.

For three and a half years, I have been 

an actively engaged member of the Board 

and NSSED Leadership Council. I am in 

my second year as President of NSSED’s 

Leadership Council. In these roles, I’ve 

had the opportunity to use my professional 

experience, educational background 

and leadership skills to positively impact 

our schools and the educational experiences 

of our students. I hold a BA from 

Tufts University and a MEd from Emory 

University. Prior to having children, I 

was a classroom teacher for 10 years and 

have been passionate about education my 

entire life. My professional background 

and educational experience allow me to 

understand the work of our schools on a 

deeper level than most. Having someone 

outside of the administration who can 

look at issues with an educational lens 

adds value to school board discussions. 

Serving on the policy committees in 

District 67 and NSSED, the education 

committee in District 67, as the board 

liaison to the Spirit of 67 Foundation 

and on the advisory council at NSSED 

has helped me develop a thorough understanding 

of the complexity and needs 

within both systems. This fall, the Illinois 

School Board Association recognized 

me as a Master Board Member. I 

have attended state and national conferences 

as a learner, representative and advocate. 

In both my career and work as a 

volunteer, leadership has been one of my 

strengths. As an effective communicator 

and a good listener, I am able to work 

well with a wide variety of people. I am 

also willing to do the work at hand, whatever 

that may be. It has been an honor to 

serve our community as a school board 

member and I look forward to serving for 

another term if elected.

Letters to the Editor 

JoAnn Desmond - The 

Right Choice for 3rd Ward 

Alderman 

I was extremely pleased 

to discover that Lake Forest 

residents in the Third 

Ward have a choice for 

Third Ward Alderman in 

the upcoming City Council 

Election on April 2, 

but, even more so, to know 

that the Independent Candidate 

choice is Dr. JoAnn 

Desmond. I worked as an 

elementary teacher with 

Dr. Desmond when she 

was our Superintendent in 

District 112 (Highwood- 

Highland Park) and as an 

Educational Consultant 

when she was Superintendent 

in District 106 

(Bannockburn). At the 

time Dr. Desmond became 

Superintendent in 

District 112 in 1995, there 

had been a “revolving 

door” of superintendents, 

since our District’s controversial 

consolidation of 

three districts in July of 

1993. The District’s dire 

financial situation, community 

opposition and a 

disunited staff from eight 

elementary schools and 

three middle schools were 

complex challenges that 

Dr. Desmond willingly 

made a commitment to 

help resolve. Through Dr. 

Desmond’s undaunted 

leadership, spirited work 

ethic, and eminent vision 

our once disjointed district 

became both unified and 

solvent. Dr. Desmond’s innovative 

direction and collaborative 

efforts among 

administration, staff and 

the community facilitated 

the implementation of 

progressive, varied, up to 

date educational programs 

throughout our schools 

that benefited the needs 

of all the students in our 

district’s diverse population. 

Through her actions 

Dr. Desmond exemplified 

that the betterment 

of our school buildings 

and a first-class education 

for each and every child 

within them was a fervid 

career goal. Always personable, 

always professional, 

Dr. JoAnn Desmond 

was well respected 

by staff, parents, students 

and community members 

alike. Her multitude of accomplishments 

as a Superintendent 

were immensely 

impressive earning Dr. 

JoAnn Desmond award 

nominations for National 

Superintendent of the Year 

in 2000 and Those Who 

Excel in 2001. At a time

accountability. Your vote

Forest Resident, 12 years 

Thank you, Lake Forest 

Caucus 

I am proud to echo the 

endorsement of Dr. Ara 

Goshgarian as our Third 

Ward Alderman on the 

Lake Forest City Council. 

Ara is a respected, exemplary 

citizen, dedicated to 

the key issues facing our 

community long before 

his candidacy this year. 

His good character, genuine 

willingness to listen 

to others, calm, balanced 

demeanor and enthusiastic, 

positive approach 

to people and problemsolving 

will make him an 

alderman we can trust and 

count on for leadership 

and objectivity in his role. 

On a personal front, Ara 

is not only a devoted husband, 

but amazing father to 

four wonderful daughters. 

He supports their interests 

and goals, and spends 

considerable time guiding 

his daughters to grow 

into independent, strong 

young women, a trait we 

need more than ever in 

the leaders we elect today. 

Ara is also a dear, trusted 

longtime friend to my family. 

I have been extremely 

proud to call Lake Forest 

my home for almost 25 

years. I am also extremely 

proud to call Ara Goshgarian 

my good friend. Thank 

you, Lake Forest Caucus, 

for choosing this outstanding 

candidate to represent 

us in the Third Ward.

Chivalry is alive and well 

in Lake Forest 

On Tuesday evening, 

March 5, my friend Feather 

Schroeder and I took the 

train from Chicago to Lake 

Forest. 

Whilst talking, we 

missed our stop in Lake 

Forest and had to go to 

Lake Bluff, being quite 

upset about this. 

A young man overheard 

us and suggested we call 

Uber. I told him I didn’t 

have an Uber account and 

he offered 

To call one and pay for it 

himself. Exiting the train 

he tried to raise a nearby 

Uber driver, but at 11 pm 

and in 11 

Degrees temperature, 

that didn’t work. In the 

meantime, a young woman 

overheard our conversation 

and 

Offered to drive us to 

the Lake Forest train station. 

We only know her 

first name, Shannon, but 

we were most 

Thankful for the ride to 

our two lonely cars at the 

Lake Forest station parking 

lot. 

I want to thank both 

these wonderful people 

for generously offering us 

their Uber account and the 

time 

To drive us that late at 

night. We will reciprocate 

their kindness in the future 

to some person in need.

Board of Education will be

and informed as we 

work together to prepare 

for this exciting initiative. 

What makes you the 

best/a top candidate for 

this position? 

While I possess a business 

background in human 

resources, finance, and organizational 

management, 

I feel it is my 19 years as 

an active volunteer in the 

Lake Forest public schools 

that makes me a top candidate 

for this position. As 

the mother of three children 

who attended Everett 

Elementary School, Deer 

Path Middle School, and 

Lake Forest High School, 

I have had the pleasure of 

holding numerous leadership 

positions. I have held 

a variety of roles on both 

District 67 and 115 APT 

boards including building 

president, committee chair, 

and parent/teacher liaison. 

I have served a decade and 

a half helping grow our 

learning opportunities by 

serving on the Spirit of 67 

Foundation and the LFHS 

Foundation. Over the past 

nine years, I have served 

on the LFHS Foundation’s 

Grants Committee as Vice 

Chair and Department Liaison 

working closely with 

two superintendents, three 

principals, and numerous 

Instructional Directors. 

This unique perspective 

has given me first-hand 

insight into curriculum redesign, 

technology implementation, 

professional 

development prioritizing, 

transitioning to studentcentered 

learning, reimaging 

classroom spaces into 

learning labs that directly 

impact student engagement, 

and teaching. All of 

these areas will continue 

to change and evolve, and 

I will do my best to represent 

all members of the 

community by diligently 

working to ensure Lake 

Forest High School remains 

a source of pride and 

offers a first-class learning 

environment to all students 

and teachers.

As you contemplate 

where best to celebrate 

St. Patrick’s 

Day, think about this: the 

go-to place in the earliest 

days of Lake Bluff was an 

Irish pub. 

The Dwyer tavern was 

owned by William and 

Mary Dwyer and Mary’s 

brother Dr. Richard 

Murphy, well-educated 

emigrants who left Ireland 

in 1820. They were the 

second family to lay claim 

to land in the area now 

known as Lake Bluff, in 

1837, after spending time 

in New York and Canada. 

The Dwyer homestead 

was just north of West 

Washington, where Lake 

Bluff Elementary School 

is today. It was one of 11 

stagecoach stops on the 

Green Bay Post Road, a 

rough trail created by native 

Americans and early 

explorers along a glacial 

ridge that was a high point 

and remained passable in 

wet weather. In 1836, a 

U.S. Congressional Act 

designated Green Bay 

Road a new postal route, 

and the trail was used to 

deliver mail and military 

supplies. 

Dwyer tavern was the 

most influential stop along 

the trail in what’s now 

Lake County, according 

to Elmer Vliet’s book 

“Lake Bluff: The First 

100 Years.” When travelers 

stopped at the tavern, 

Pictured are Thomas Murphy (left) and Bridget Moran 

Murphy. Bridget was the daughter of early settler Dominick 

Moran and sister of Mary C. Dwyer (nee Moran), 

the wife of Thomas Dwyer. Dominic Moran owned 

property northwest of the Dwyer property, in what is 

now North Chicago. Photo courtesy of Barbara Opitz, 

descendent of dominick moran. 

it was often for a drink 

(brandy, gin and rum cost 

12.5 cents for half a pint), 

but also to feed and stable 

horses, repair equipment, 

share a meal at common 

tables, and rest in dormitory-style 

bunks. When 

township government 

was formed, the vote took 

place at Dwyer tavern. The 

book “A History of Lake 

County” by John Halsey 

describes the Dwyer stop 

as being “long famous as 

a relay tavern” and “the 

center of intellectual and 

social influence.” It was 

the place to exchange news 

with fellow travelers as 

well as with the proprietors 

themselves, according to 

“The Dwyer Settlement” 

by Pam Russell. 

The tavern was so 

significant that the entire 

area surrounding it became 

known as the Dwyer 

Settlement as the community 

grew to include St. 

Anne’s Catholic church 

and cemetery, plus farms, 

cabins, and other businesses. 

The Dwyers and 

Dr. Murphy became community 

leaders. 

They were not the only 

settlers from Ireland. As 

Vliet wrote: “Lured by 

work on the canals, beginning 

with the Erie in 1817 

and later the Illinois and 

Michigan in 1836, scores 

of Irishmen poured into 

the country. Many saved 

their money and bought 

farms, a significant number 

around the Dwyer tavern 

and farther south into west 

Lake Forest.” Others Irish 

pioneers included Michael 

Dulanty, Michael McGuire, 

Michael Mines, Dominick 

Moran, and James and 

Nancy Cole. Shields Township 

is named for Gen. 

James Shields, a hero of the 

Mexican-American War of 

1846-48, and later a U.S. 

senator and friend and colleague 

of Dr. Murphy. 

Sláinte to the Irish pioneers 

of Lake Bluff!

Sports Editor 

Hello everyone! I’m

cations that each of them 

has received in the Lake 

Forest public schools. Our 

oldest daughter entered 

Lake Forest High School 

in the fall of 2011, and our 

youngest boys will graduate 

in the spring of 2022. 

So, my wife (Anne) and I 

have had a terrific opportunity 

to observe the quality 

of the course offerings 

and teaching provided to 

each of them and to observe 

the thoughtful ways 

that the administration has 

responded to improve the 

duran 

From Page 11 

Hello, Lake Forest 

for 22nd Century Media. 

I was born and raised in 

southern Massachusetts 

and graduated from Boston 

University, where I spent 

three years as a sports 

writer and a year as an associate 

sports editor for my 

school newspaper. I went 

into college unsure of what 

I wanted to do for a living, 

but I soon realized sports 

journalism is for me. 

After college I served as 

a high school sports intern 

for The Patriot Ledger and 

The Brockton Enterprise, 

near my hometown of East 

students’ quality of life 

and the high school’s educational 

offerings during 

that eventful period. 

As a member of the 

Board, I hope to build on 

those successes and to 

work with the administration 

to improve the schools 

even further. 

To that end, I will bring 

a diverse set of problemsolving 

skills, a collaborative 

approach to board 

service, and a willingness 

to listen to and a respect 

for the opinions and views 

of others. Having worked 

as a lawyer and an investment 

manager over the last 

two decades, I believe that 

past six years, I have been 

the Executive Director of 

LEAD and have grown it 

from a small, community 

organization to a large organization 

with a national 

reach. As an Executive 

Director who reports to a 

board, I have a clear understanding 

of the role of 

a board member versus 

the role of an administrator. 

Furthermore, my job 

takes me into nearly 100 

different schools per year, 

and I have the unique opportunity 

to work closely 

with teachers, principals, 

administrators, and board 

members all over the 

country. More importantly, 

I have existing healthy 

relationships with nearly 

every community leader 

in Lake Bluff, as well as 

being a very active member 

of the community. I 

Bridgewater. I quickly fell 

in love with covering hardworking 

athletes and their 

coaches, and telling their 

stories. 

Having covered New 

England collegiate and 

high school sports for the 

last five years, I know 

the importance of local 

sports journalism and 

what it means to readers. 

Above all, the spotlight 

should be on the athletes 

and their success, both 

on and off the court. I’m 

excited to get to know the 

Highland Park and Lake 

I have a broad background 

of experience to draw 

from as we work through 

the many issues that will 

face the Board. In addition 

over the last decade, 

I have served on the board 

and the personnel committee 

of a non-profit institution 

(First Presbyterian 

Church of Lake Forest). 

In that time in those roles, 

I’ve developed a working 

understanding of the proper 

roles and responsibilities 

of a well-functioning 

board, and I look forward 

to bringing that knowledge 

to my service on the Board 

of District 115. 

would be able to leverage 

these relationships for the 

benefit of the schools and 

the board’s constituents. 

Finally, I have a unique 

perspective on the complex 

out-of-the-classroom 

issues facing students, 

families, schools 

and communities and 

am prepared to assist our 

board in handling these 

issues in evidence-based 

and budget-friendly 

ways.

LB’s The Sheridan brings friends of 95 years together 

Neil Milbert 


Mary Kozina remembers 

the day she met Evelyn 

Vonic outside Holy 

Rosary grammar school in 

North Chicago. 

“She was standing next 

to the building, and I was 

standing next to the building 

and then we started 

to talk. We just became 

friends. Every time there 

was a party or something 

we would both be there,” 

Kozina said. 

The close friendship 

that developed between 

those two 6-year-old 

grammar school girls has 

continued for 95 years. 

And now Mary and Evelyn 

find themselves living 

down the hall from 

one another at The Sheridan 

at Green Oaks in Lake 

Bluff, and they wouldn’t 

want it any other way. 

“We always lived close 

to each other,” Vonic said. 

“I went to Waukegan High 

School and Mary went to 

one of those schools that 

taught how to type and 

those (secretarial) things, 

but we stayed friends.” 

Evelyn’s 101st birthday 

was on Feb. 27, while 

Mary will turn 101 on 

June 29. 

On the afternoon of 

March 5, a birthday party 

at The Sheridan at Green 

Oaks honored the two of 

them. 

“That was exciting,” 

Kozina said. “They had 

a great big party. A lot of 

people were here. Some 

of them came from faraway 

places.” 

It also was the second 

anniversary of the opening 

of The Sheridan at 

Green Oaks and the oneyear 

anniversary of the 

opening of the Freedom 

Home Care Wellness Center 

branch at the facility. 

“Not only are we here 

to celebrate their birthdays, 

but their 95 years 

of beautiful friendship,” 

said Vonic’s daughter, 

Judy Kosick, who came 

for the party. “My mother 

and Mary are very happy 

and we are thankful they 

have the opportunity to be 

together at this establishment 

where they can take 

part in many of the activities 

they once did together 

when they were younger.” 

According to Kozina, 

when they were teenagers 

she and Vonic “were separated 

for a while.” 

“Evelyn had a boyfriend 

who played bat and ball 

and they were in a group,” 

she explained. “There was 

a church group that had 

things for young people 

and I was doing things 

with them. 

“Later on we both got 

married and got back together. 

We both lived in 

North Chicago and we 

used to talk on the phone 

all the time. We started 

doing a lot together, grocery 

shopping and going 

to places where we could 

get a lot of yarn and fabric. 

I used to sew a lot and 

Evelyn would paint big 

pictures. When it was my 

birthday she’d take me out 

to dinner and when it was 

her birthday I’d do the 

same. Later on when she 

and her husband traveled 

overseas she’s always 

bring me back something. 

She’s such a sweetie. 

“Evelyn had two children, 

Judy and Louise, 

and I was Louise’s godmother.” 

Kozina also is the mother 

of two, a son, Dr. Gustav 

Kozina, who practices 

dentistry, and a daughter, 

Sue. 

Starting in 1981 and 

continuing through the 

mid-1990s, Vonic and her 

Evelyn Vonic (left) and Mary Kozina pose for a photo 

in 1991. The duo has been friends for 95 years and 

now lives at The Sheridan at Green Oaks in Lake Bluff.

late husband, Larry, spent 

the winter months at their 

second home in Brooksville, 

Fla. 

“They invited my late 

husband, Gus, and I to 

come visit them and we 

stayed at their place a 

few times,” Kozina reminisced. 

“They lived next 

to a golf course.” 

Vonic said during her 

younger days she enjoyed 

golfing and line dancing. 

“She was a marvelous 

dancer, so good with her

Stuart L. Scott 

Stuart L. Scott, who 

played a central role in 

building Jones Lang La- 

Salle Incorporated from a 

small regional company 

into a leading global commercial 

real estate services 

and investment management 

firm, died at his home 

in Lake Bluff, on Feb. 25. 

He was 80. 

The cause was complications 

related to Non- 

Hodgkin Lymphoma, said 

his wife of 37 years, Anne 

O’Laughlin Scott, a retired 

Cook County judge and 

former Commissioner of 

Martin County, Florida. 

A founder of LaSalle 

Partners, and then JLL, 

Scott dedicated his life to 

the challenge of bringing 

professionalism, superior 

services, high ethical standards 

and a commitment to 

act always “in the client’s 

best interests” to the commercial 

real estate industry. 

He led the firm’s rapid 

growth, including its initial 

public offering in 1997 and 

a range of mergers and acquisitions 

highlighted by 

the 1999 merger of LaSalle 

and UK-based Jones Lang 

Wootton to form Jones 

Lang LaSalle. He remained 

Chairman and Chief Executive 

Officer of JLL until 

his retirement in 2005. 

Scott served as Chairman 

of the Board of Directors 

of LaSalle Hotel 

Properties from 1998 to 

2000, and then again from 

2009 to 2018. He also 

chaired the LaSalle Street 

Fund – LaSalle Investment 

Management’s first institutional 

commingled fund 

— the Florida Office Property 

Company, and other 

LaSalle-sponsored funds. 

In 1999, Scott was 

named “Real Estate Executive 

of the Year” by Commercial 

Property World. 

In 2004 he received the 

“Urban Land Institute 

Lifetime Achievement 

Award”. Throughout his 

career, he was well known 

as a friend and mentor to 

many individuals in the

Scott is survived by seven 

children and their spouses: 

Alexis; Sarah and John 

Howell; Charity; Antonia 

and Richard Feingold; 

Fiona and Daryl Mechem; 

George; and Phoebe.

Declan, Theodora and 

Georgie Mechem; and 

Winnie Volpe. 

He was born in Montreal 

in 1938. His father was an 

actuary, and his mother 

was a homemaker. 

Scott was a proud graduate 

of Hamilton College 

and chaired its Board of 

Trustees from 2002 to 

2008. He was named a 

Life Trustee and Chairman 

Emeritus of the Board of 

Trustees by the Clinton, 

New York, liberal arts college. 

He earned a J.D. degree 

from Northwestern 

University. 

Scott was a long-time 

Director of the Rehabilitation 

Institute of Chicago, 

where he served as Chairman 

of the Board for seven 

years. He was also a trustee 

of the African Wildlife 

Foundation, a Nairobibased 

non-governmental 

organization, and of NumbersUSA, 

a Washington, 

D.C-based education and 

research foundation. 

His family will hold a

Maestro Grill’s new menu mixes traditional Russian, American cuisine 

Jason Addy 

Contributing Editor 

After a decade of success 

in a former airport 

hangar in Northbrook, 

Maestro Grill owner Boris 

Vaysman took a risk when 

he scaled back most of the 

restaurant’s operations for 

a year and a half while it 

was remodeled. 

The remodeling project 

was completed just a few 

weeks ago, and the risk 

seems to be paying off 

with customers beginning 

to flow back into the new 

and improved Maestro 

Grill at 500 Anthony Trail. 

During the remodel, the 

restaurant was only open 

on weekends, but now 

Vaysman and his team are 

serving up traditional Russian 

and American dishes 

six days a week. Maestro 

Grill also re-launched its 

lunch menu with a number 

of new items less than a 

month ago. 

“We decided to start 

again,” Vaysman said of 

the remodel. 

Maestro Grill reopened 

its doors on a full-time basis 

at the end of February, 

and Vaysman said many 

of his old customers are 

returning for another taste. 

The new lunch menu 

features a large selection 

of appetizers, salads 

and sandwiches, as well 

as grilled entrees, any of 

which can be paired with 

a glass of wine. Each day, 

Maestro Grill has a new 

featured soup and three 

lunch specials. 

“On our menu, you can 

find some traditional Russian 

dishes. … We also 

have a bunch of traditional 

American stuff. Maybe it’s 

a little bit of our twist, but 

it’s still traditional American 

lunch,” Vaysman said, 

noting there aren’t many 

places on the North Shore 

where you can find both 

Seared sesame-crusted ahi tuna ($13) comes with 

ginger, wasabi and spicy mayo. 

The pan-fried cod ($12) has potato crust with lemon 

capers sauce and veggies. 

traditional cuisines on the 

same menu. 

Vaysman grew up in 

the Soviet Union and discovered 

his culinary skills 

while helping his mother 

cook for the family. After 

graduating from culinary 

school, Vaysman and his 

family moved to the U.S. 

in 1990. 

He spent about a decade 

working at country clubs, 

steakhouses and finedining 

restaurants to hone 

his skills before launching 

a banquet hall in Rolling 

Meadows. 

Seven years later, Vaysman 

opened the doors to 

Maestro Grill in Northbrook, 

with his son, Slava, 

by his side to manage dayto-day 

operations. 

“I’ve been here since 

the beginning,” Slava Vaysman 

said. “Right after

school basically, I started 

working here.” 

“We were always in this 

business, so he was raised 

under the table in the restaurant,” 

Boris Vaysman 

said. 

Last week, Boris and 

Slava Vaysman welcomed 

22nd Century Media editors 

to Maestro Grill to 

sample dishes from each 

part of the new lunch menu.

Maestro Grill in Northbrook. Photos by Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

The rib eye steak sandwich ($13) has caramelized onions and horseradish sauce on 

grilled marble rye with a side of fries. 

For starters, we tried 

Maestro Grill’s fried calamari 

($9), which is served 

with a sweet chili dipping 

sauce and garlic aioli, and 

sesame-seared ahi tuna 

($13). 

Next came the entree 

round. The Vaysmans 

brought out generous 

portions of braised lamb 

shank ($12) over golden 

baby potatoes, as well 

as a classic ribeye steak 

sandwich ($13) with caramelized 

onions on grilled 

marble rye bread. 

They also featured two 

of Maestro Grill’s traditional 

Russian dishes: 

potato-crusted cod ($12) 

served over Brussels 

sprouts with a lemon caper 

sauce and a cutlet pozharskaya 

($11), a chicken 

cutlet stuffed with mushrooms 

and served over 

potatoes with a demi-glace 

sauce. 

To cap off the large 

lunch, we sampled three 

types of cake: a New 

York-style cheesecake, a 

coconut cheesecake and 

smetannik, a Russian sour 

cream cake.

Athlete of The Week 

10 Questions 

with John Wilford 

John Wilford is a senior 

captain for the Lake Forest 

boys water polo team. 

How did you get 

started playing water 

polo? 

I started playing water 

polo my freshman year. 

Originally I had been 

swimming for two years, 

and some of the older guys 

on the swim team, a lot of 

them did play water polo. 

It seemed really different 

to me, but they influenced 

me, they said it was a lot 

of fun. 

What’s your favorite 

part about water 

polo? 

I’m a little bit sentimental, 

I just like being out 

with the team, being with 

the boys, going to practice 

everyday. Game days and 

tournaments are always 

fun, sometimes we dress 

up earlier in the day and 

get excited for the whole 

day. It’s always exciting 

leading up to the game. 

Do you have any 

superstitions or rituals 

before a game? 

Usually for away games 

we always have bagels on 

the bus before games, it 

gives everybody some extra 

energy, it’s a nice little 

thing to count on before 

games. 

What does it mean to 

you to be team captain 

this season? 

To be captain is really 

special to me because it’s 

a sport that I didn’t really 

know existed in high 

school, and just a few 

years later, being able to 

lead and guide the rest of 

the team is a very special 

thing to me, it is a real 

privilege to be able to do 

it. 

Who is your favorite 

athlete? 

Michael Phelps is pretty 

important to me. I understand 

it’s a little cliche 

with the swimming thing. 

Him coming back and 

being able to perform incredibly 

well yet again in 

the 2016 Olympics shows 

that your core values and 

what’s really important to 

you, they stick with you 

whether you want them to 

or not, so I think that’s really 

important. 

If you could play any 

other sport, what 

would you play? 

I wish there was a 

boys badminton team, I 

love badminton so much. 

There’s not really a club 

for boys or anything, but as 

far as P.E. class goes,I’m a 

big fan. 

What do you want to 

cross off your bucket 

list? 

I do want to try a new 

sport in college. For the 

same reason why I got 

into water polo, I do want 

to expose myself to that 

again. Maybe there’s volleyball, 

maybe there’s 

club badminton. You just 

want to try something new, 

Photo submitted 

hopefully it will work out 

the same like water polo 

did for me. 

What are your plans 

for college? 

I’m going to Purdue 

University next year. I really 

do like the big state 

schools, a lot of people to 

meet, a lot of activities, a 

lot of connections to make. 

The big campuses, there’s 

a lot of resources. It’s not 

too far from home, but it’s 

not too close either, which 

is important to me as well. 

Watching college football 

and basketball is always 

really fun too. At the Big 

Ten schools, you get that 

kind of experience that I 

was looking for. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

If I get a free weekend, 

I like to shoot up to our 

lake house and go fishing, 

it’s always really fun. 

It’s relaxing, it’s still on 

the water, which I enjoy. 

I have no problem sitting 

out there for hours and not 

doing anything, it’s just really 

relaxing. 

Where is your favorite 

place to eat? 

It’s got to be Meatheads. 

I don’t do it too often, just 

because obviously it’s not 

fantastic for you to eat.

Boys Basketball Coach of the Year 

Ralston’s chance works in Titans’ favor 

Michal Dwojak, Contributing 

Sports Editor 

Phil Ralston took a 

chance when he came to 

Glenbrook South last season. 

The former Geneva High 

School boys basketball 

coach came to Glenview 

before the start of last season 

with a proven track record 

facing a program that 

hadn’t had life in it for a 

while. He had the methods 

for building a successful 

program, he just needed 

the willing participants in 

order to build something 

special in Glenview. 

Ralston saw that buy 

in from his players right 

away and the players saw 

the fruits of their labor in 

a turnaround season for the 

Titans. South flipped its record 

from last season and 

won its first IHSA regional 

title in 10 years. The players 

bought into Ralston, 

who’s transformation of 

the South program earned 

him 22nd Century Media’s 

2019 Boys Basketball 

Coach of the Year honor. 

“I’m eternally grateful to 

the kids, especially our seniors, 

our returning players 

from last season,” Ralston 

said. “When I came in, they 

didn’t know me from Adam 

and we suffered together 

last year. We had moments 

of just falling short. When 

we talked at the end of last 

year about goal setting, I 

knew a lot of them seemed 

as going to the moon.” 

Ralston demanded effort 

from the Titans and a commitment 

to his style. He got 

that commitment and South 

played hard during his 

first season, but the Titans 

couldn’t get over the hump 

in a lot of games, finishing 

with a 9-19 record. 

Ralston demanded more 

Glenbrook South boys basketball coach Phil Ralston 

earned 22nd Century Media’s 2019 Boys Basketball 

Coach of the Year honor. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

from his players, wanted 

them to increase their work 

in the gym over the offseason 

and play together over 

the summer to continue to 

learn the offensive sets. 

South players did just 

that and started the season 

strong, winning their first 

nine games, including a 

win over Evanston, one of 

the state’s top teams. The 

Titans and their fans celebrated 

the win against their 

Central Suburban League 

South rival, knowing they 

have taken down a giant. 

For Ralston, though, the 

win was good and bad. 

“I think it was good for us 

in the sense that there was a 

wall that I think was put up 

for these kids their whole 

high school career and 

they’re told you can’t get 

past this points,” Ralston 

said. “They broke through 

that barrier this year. 

“The negative, I think 

we got more inflated ego 

for ourselves. Not that they 

let it get to them, but forgot 

what was the hard work 

that led them to that win.” 

South went on to finish 

4-6 in the division and 

earned a No. 5 seed in the 

IHSA Evanston Sectional 

— the top-five teams in the 

sectional were all from the 

CSL South. After defeating 

Conant in their opening 

postseason game, the Titans 

had some fortune with 

Niles West defeating Niles 

North and advancing to the 

regional final. There South 

accomplished history, winning 

its first regional in a 

decade and creating a rematch 

between the Titans 

and Wildkits in the sectional 

semifinal. 

Evanston went on to 

win the game, but the loss 

marked another level of 

improvement Ralston’s 

program took. GBS finished 

with a 24-9 overall 

record, one win shy of tying 

the program’s record in 

wins. Titans fans filled their 

side of the Niles North gym 

during the sectional game, 

something Ralston has 

never seen as the coach at 

GBS or coaching against 

the school. 

While the seniors will 

move on from the program, 

Ralston is proud of not only 

they accomplished this 

season, but for the overall 

growth of Titans boys basketball. 

“When you can see what 

you’re looking toward, you 

work a little bit harder to 

make sure you get there.” 

The young men are innovators 

and set a new standard 

for kids to want to 

achieve.” 

The chance worked out. 

Boys Basketball Player of the Year 

Martinelli stays true 

to himself in big year 

Michal Dwojak, Contributing 

Sports Editor 

Dom Martinell never 

shied away from scoring. 

Ask any of his teammates 

from the teams he 

played on growing up and 

they’ll most likely say the 

Glenbrook South junior 

carried the load when it 

came to scoring the basketball. 

Time hasn’t really 

changed Martinelli, and 

that worked out to the 

Titans’ favor. The South 

player averaged 24.6 ppg 

this season and scored 812 

points during the year. He 

scored when head coach 

Phil Ralston needed him 

to, leading the Titans to 

a historic season where 

they won 24 games — one 

game shy of their all-time 

record — and earned their 

first IHSA regional title in 

a decade. 

Martinelli’s leadership 

on and off the court is why 

he earned 22nd Century 

Media’s 2019 Boys Basketball 

Player of the Year 

award. 

While scoring has always 

come second nature 

to him, the junior knew he 

wasn’t the sole reason for 

the team’s historic season. 

“I love it,” Martinelli 

said of scoring. “It’s not 

just me; there are so many 

other people on the team 

that make as big of an impact 

as I do. I love to score 

and put my team in a position 

to win.” 

The Titan credited his 

breakout junior year to a 

Ralston challenge over 

the offseason. Martinelli 

wasn’t happy with his 

Glenbrook South boys basketball player Dom Martinelli 

earned 22nd Century Media 2019 Boys Basketball 

Player of the Year award. 22nd Century Media 

sophomore year, so he 

wanted to improve different 

elements of his game. 

Ralston challenged him to 

change his shooting style, 

which would improve 

with some modification. 

He would spend two hours 

practicing before or after 

summer games and practice 

with senior Will King, 

making sure this season 

would be special for the departing 

seniors. 

While there were times 

Ralston would want to 

leave the gym so he could 

go spend time with his family, 

he would never complain 

about a player who 

had the worker’s mentality 

Martinelli does. 

“I have not seen a kid 

that has dedicated himself 

as much as he can to making 

that improvement occur,” 

Ralston said. “He’s 

one of those kids first on 

the floor and last one out. 

“He is a real special and 

unique kid. He’s a fierce 

competitor.” 

The hard work paid 

off. Martinelli took not 

only the Central Suburban 

League by storm but 

the state by storm with big 

performances against the 

best in the state, including 

Evanston. While the Titans 

impressed, Martinelli 

was there scoring, making 

Ralston’s offense work 

with his teammates making 

sure to get him involved. 

“I wanted to become one 

of the hardest players to 

guard in the conference,” 

Martinelli said. “The only 

way I could do that was 

working hard every day.” 

Glenbrook South went 

on win its first IHSA regional 

in a decade, setting 

up a rematch with top-seeded 

Evanston. The Titans 

fell to the Wildkits, with 

Martinelli scoring 32 points 

in the loss. Like most of the 

Titans, the junior looked on 

realizing the season they 

worked hard for was over. 

But that only motivates 

him to become a better 

player for his final year 

with Glenbrook South, remembering 

a special team. 

“It just shows all the 

hard work our team put in,” 

Martinelli said. “To have 

such a great season is just 

a blessing.”

Scouts offense fires on all cylinders in win over Giants 

Gary Larsen 


Lake Forest scored early 

and often against host 

Highland Park, ultimately 

winning 29-3 in a seasonopening 

water polo match 

for both teams. But winning 

wasn’t the lone objective 

for Scouts captain 

Flynn McClellan. 

“I just really wanted the 

girls to have fun tonight,” 

McClellan said, “and everyone 

was hyped up and 

ready for our first game.” 

McClellan and fellow 

senior captain Lily Mass 

aim to keep things fun 

all season for this year’s 

Scouts. Lake Forest graduated 

a core of key seniors 

from last year’s team, but 

coach Anna Colletti sees 

promise in this year’s 

squad. 

“We’ve really been 

working on our defense 

in practice and it really 

showed tonight,” Colletti 

said. “We have a brand 

new goalie (Mckenzie 

Tanksley) in the goal so 

of course she was a little 

nervous, but I think she 

did great.” 

In the nonconference 

match on Thursday, 

March 7, the Scouts led 

26-1 after three quarters 

and kept the Giants from 

scoring in the second and 

third periods. 

Catherine Terkildsen 

led the way with seven 

goals and the Scouts got 

four goals apiece from 

Mackenzie Boveri, Tierney 

Sassen, and Emory 

Homan. McClellan and 

Isabella Watters finished 

with three goals apiece. 

“I’d say that although 

we lost those seniors from 

last year, we have strong 

players, fast swimmers 

and overall we have a lot 

of potential this year,” 

McClellan said. “We’ve 

added morning practices 

and we’re doing more to 

strengthen up our team. 

“We’ve only had about 

a week and a half of practice 

together and we have 

a lot of new faces, but we 

kept our spirits up and we 

kept a good sense of teamwork 

today. Our spirit was 

up and we had a good positive 

attitude overall.” 

The Scouts countered 

well on outlet passes 

sent ahead by Tanksley 

all night against a Giants 

squad heavy with underclassmen 

in coach Tiffany 

Urbanski’s first year at the 

helm. 

Eleven of the 17 players 

on the Giants’ roster are 

either freshmen or sophomores 

with little to no experience 

in the sport. 

“Exposure to the rules 

has been the biggest thing 

for a lot of the girls,” Urbanski 

said. “And against 

a team that’s constantly 

countering like (Lake 

Forest) and never lets up, 

they’ll learn that maybe 

they need to work a little 

more on conditioning and 

swimming.” 

Captains Sophie Hovis 

and Sydney Tran are the 

Giants’ lone seniors, and 

Urbanski will also rely on 

juniors Rowan Kischer, 

Jillienne Ness, Lillian 

Fleisher, and Shayna Rosner 

to help lead a young 

team in 2019. 

With the Giants trailing 

18-1 at intermission, the 

tendency among young 

players might have been 

to hang their heads in disappointment. 

Urbanski 

and assistant coach Matt 

Bacinich didn’t let that 

happen. 

“I told them halfway 

through that we’re not focusing 

on the score, we’re 

focusing on those small 

celebrations,” Urbanski 

said. “So if I see a quarterturn, 

or a reverse pivot, 

or an awesome shot that 

maybe doesn’t even go 

in — they’re still building 

confidence in themselves. 

That’s why they were still 

cheering to the very end 

tonight.” 

The Giants will count 

on hole sets Fleisher and 

Rosner to carry the scoring 

load moving forward, 

and Fleisher scored all 

three of the team’s goals 

against Lake Forest.

BOYS INDOOR TRACK AND 

There were two points 

at which the Scouts — a 

co-op that includes players 

from Highland Park High 

School — seemed to be on 

the cusp of coming back in 

its state tournament game 

against New Trier, rallying 

twice in cutting three-goal 

deficits down to two. 

But the thing about New 

Trier is, the Trevians just 

keep coming. 

“It was a big step up to 

have that quick rush coming 

at you,” Lake Forest senior 

Sarah Newtown said. 

“We’ve been playing teams 

that are more even with us, 

but they’re on a different 

level.” 

After Lake Forest cut 

New Trier’s lead to 4-2 in 

the third period on Caroline 

Mower’s second goal 

of the game, the Trevians 

lit the lamp three times in 

three minutes en route to a 

7-2 win. 

Kate McLaughlin and 

Hannah Half scored during 

New Trier’s late third-period 

flurry before Sabrina 

Shvartsman scored her second 

goal of the game to end 

the day’s scoring. 

The win on March 3 sent 

host New Trier to a semifinal 

game against Loyola 

Academy in this year’s 

2019 Illinois Hockey State 

Championships. 

The Trevians led 2-0 

over the Scouts after one 

period on goals from Abby 

Wieczorek and Serena 

Seiple and led 3-0 in the 

second period on Shvartsman’s 

first goal. 

Lake Forest cut its deficit 

to 3-1 when Mower followed 

up a Kennedy Stein 

shot and buried it. 

New Trier made it 4-1 on 

an Ella Huber goal early in 

the third period, but Mower 

quickly answered by following 

up on another Stein 

shot, marking the second 

time in the game the Scouts 

refused to go quietly. 

“We just knew not to 

let down,” Newtown said. 

“You can get discouraged 

with a score like that but 

we were really motivated 

to keep going and try to get 

it back. I thought we definitely 

kept with it. We kept 

[fighting].” 

That’s when the highestscoring 

girls high school 

team in Illinois squashed 

any hope the Scouts might 

have had about mounting a 

comeback.
