Residents speak out against NB Court proposal<br />

Developers slated<br />

to make final<br />

adjustments May 7<br />

before vote<br />

Neil Milbert<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

The Northbrook Court<br />

developers are going back<br />

to the drawing board.<br />

“We will make one more<br />

effort to see what we can<br />

do,” Barry Nekritz, the attorney<br />

representing Northbrook<br />

Anchor Acquisition,<br />

LLC and Westcoast Estates,<br />

told the Northbrook<br />

Plan Commission at the<br />

conclusion of the second<br />

public hearing on the proposed<br />

project on Thursday,<br />

April 4.<br />

“We’ll try to answer<br />

some of the questions<br />

(posed by neighborhood<br />

residents and commission<br />

members during the hearing).<br />

We do not have control<br />

of the entire mall. In<br />

our naivete we thought we<br />

had done enough.”<br />

The main component in<br />

the proposed project is the<br />

construction of 315 luxury<br />

apartment units where<br />

Macy’s now stands. Some<br />

of the other significant<br />

components are parking<br />

for residents and guests, a<br />

grocery store, a restaurant,<br />

a physical fitness facility, a<br />

bowling center, child day<br />

care services and a passenger<br />

car rental outlet.<br />

There would be a great<br />

lawn serving as a gateway<br />

from the development to<br />

the existing mall where the<br />

Lord & Taylor and Nieman<br />

Marcus department stores<br />

are located.<br />

The 12 neighborhood<br />

residents who spoke against<br />

the project on April 4 were<br />

primarily concerned with<br />

“There has to be a better way<br />

than where we’re at now. To continue<br />

to be a viable community,<br />

the village needs to be mindful<br />

of the concerns of residents and<br />

it also has to be flexible.”<br />

Plan Commission Chair Marcia Franklin<br />

— to Northbrook Court developers after giving<br />

them the option of coming back again and making<br />

alterations to their proposal next month.<br />

the height of the apartment<br />

building and its proximity<br />

to their properties. No one<br />

spoke in favor.<br />

“It is unacceptable where<br />

they want to put this building,”<br />

said Ken Smith,<br />

president of the Glenbrook<br />

Countryside Property<br />

Owners Association and<br />

a 44-year resident of the<br />

unincorporated neighborhood.<br />

“We have 280 homes<br />

and 25 percent of them are<br />

million-dollar homes. Even<br />

though we’re unincorporated<br />

we have a lot of ties<br />

in Northbrook. We pay the<br />

same taxes as residents of<br />

Northbrook do. We pay<br />

taxes to the Park District<br />

and to (Glenview/Northbrook)<br />

School District 225<br />

and for fire protection.<br />

The setback and height<br />

variations should not detract<br />

from the quality and<br />

character of the surrounding<br />

neighborhood.”<br />

The next public hearing<br />

is scheduled for May 7 at<br />

which time the Plan Commission<br />

is expected to vote<br />

either in favor or in opposition<br />

to the project and then<br />

forward the resolution to<br />

the Village Board of Trustees<br />

for consideration at its<br />

May 21 meeting and ultimately<br />

the final decision.<br />

“There has to be a better<br />

way than where we’re<br />

at now,” Plan Commission<br />

Chair Marcia Franklin told<br />

the developers after giving<br />

them the option of coming<br />

back again and making<br />

another proposal or asking<br />

for an immediate vote.<br />

“To continue to be a viable<br />

community, the village<br />

needs to be mindful of the<br />

concerns of residents and it<br />

also has to be flexible.”<br />

Northbrook Anchor<br />

is a joint venture of the<br />

mall’s owners, Brookfield<br />

Properties and Ryan Companies,<br />

while Westcoast<br />

Estates owns the land.<br />

At the outset of the April<br />

4 hearing, Machaela Kohlstedt,<br />

deputy director of<br />

Development and Planning<br />

Services, made a presentation<br />

detailing the developers’<br />

revised application<br />

that came in response to<br />

concerns expressed by the<br />

members of the board and<br />

neighborhood residents at<br />

the March 5 hearing.<br />

Please see court, 6<br />

Northbrook Court developers will make one more effort to address the concerns of<br />

residents and the Northbrook Plan Commission on May 7, before the commission<br />

offers a vote on a proposal that calls for a 315-unit luxury apartment structure to be<br />

built where Macy’s now is. Design renderings courtesy of the Village of Northbrook<br />

Northbrook Plan Commission<br />

Project for 84 townhouse units heads to Village board after approval<br />

Neil Milbert, Freelance Reporter<br />

Before continuing the public<br />

hearing on the proposed Northbrook<br />

Court development, the<br />

Northbrook Plan Commission<br />

at its Thursday, April 4 meeting<br />

unanimously approved a draft<br />

resolution filed by M/I Homes of<br />

Chicago, LLC to purchase property<br />

at 1910 Techny Road and<br />

change the zoning from restricted<br />

industrial to multiple family<br />

residential.<br />

The green light from the Plan<br />

Commission is expected to put<br />

the project on the fast track for approval<br />

by the Village’s Board of<br />

Trustees, who will make the final<br />

decision.<br />

Plans call for 84 townhouse<br />

units; reduction of the right-ofway<br />

of proposed streets within<br />

the development from 60 feet to<br />

52 feet; and reduction of the number<br />

of required off-street parking<br />

spaces within the development.<br />

Also part of the resolution was<br />

a waiver of the requirement to<br />

bury overhead utility lines along<br />

the Techny Road frontage of the<br />

property.<br />

The Northbrook Village Board<br />

conducted a preliminary review<br />

of the proposed development<br />

during its Oct. 9, 2018 meeting.<br />

Village trustees expressed initial<br />

optimism for the proposal —<br />

which was initially for 86 townhomes<br />

— but voiced qualifiers<br />

they hoped to see addressed.<br />

At the time, Village Trustees<br />

A.C. Buehler III, Kathryn Ciesla,<br />

Robert Israel, James Karagianis<br />

and Muriel Collison all cited<br />

concerns about the project’s<br />

density. Trustee Jason Han was<br />

The Plan Commission unanimously approved a draft resolution filed by M/I Homes of Chicago, LLC to<br />

purchase property at 1910 Techny Road and change the zoning from restricted industrial to multiple<br />

family residential. Plans call for 84 townhouse units at the property, if approved by the Village Board.<br />

Design renderings courtesy of the Village of Northbrook<br />

critical of the development last<br />

year, saying at the time he did<br />

not believe the property should<br />

be rezoned.<br />

Village President Sandy Frum<br />

voiced overall support for the<br />

proposal in October, praising the<br />

proposed price of the units.<br />

Prior to approval, the Plan<br />

Commission conducted a public<br />

hearing for the project at its<br />

Feb. 19 and March 19 meetings.<br />

The Village Board is expected<br />

to make the final decision in the<br />

near future.<br />

court<br />

From Page 3<br />

Then, Adam Tritt, senior vicepresident<br />

of retail development<br />

for Brookfield Properties, and<br />

Dan Walsh, senior vice-president<br />

of Ryan Co., described the ways<br />

and means they were attempting<br />

to alleviate these concerns.<br />

Walsh addressed the location<br />

issue.<br />

“This is the most appropriate<br />

residential location (for the apartment<br />

building that will be either<br />

five stories or 80 feet in height),”<br />

he insisted. “We can’t comply<br />

with the 150-foot rear setback<br />

requirement (in the zoning code).<br />

We are asking that it be reduced<br />

to 73 feet. We will plant evergreen<br />

trees (to serve as a buffer<br />

for people living next to the<br />

property).”<br />

The developers’ plans call for<br />

432 covered garage spaces, which<br />

averages out to one stall per bedroom<br />

and 1.5 per unit, plus 32<br />

additional stalls that would go to<br />

occupants of two and three-bedroom<br />

units. There also would be<br />

41 surface spaces.<br />

A grand staircase would<br />

connect the indoor garages to<br />

the great lawn that Walsh described<br />

as “the centerpiece of the<br />

development.”<br />

“One of the drivers in whatever<br />

we do is we must engage with<br />

existing property,” Tritt emphasized.<br />

“We need a strong visual<br />

connection to the mall.<br />

“We have spent $2.4 billion<br />

and built 100 anchor stores in<br />

the last seven years. There is no<br />

simple template for success.<br />

“We’re in active negotiations<br />

with a grocery tenant. Market<br />

research has suggested we can<br />

satisfy a demand and won’t affect<br />

existing grocers. There needs<br />

to be a visual terminus. The<br />

grocery store serves that need,<br />

one more layer of vibrancy and<br />

energy.”<br />

The developers contend that<br />

C-4 district zoning code that<br />

was enacted in 1974 to accommodate<br />

the creation of<br />

Northbrook Court is obsolete<br />

because of new trends in the<br />

consumer marketplace.<br />

But residents argue that the<br />

mixed-use zoning relief the developers<br />

are asking for will cause<br />

their home values to plunge.<br />

Jim Beckett said he had been<br />

seeking to sell his home but suspended<br />

his plans after speaking<br />

to several realtors and being told<br />

“to expect some devaluation<br />

while all this is going on.”<br />

“Residents from the apartment<br />

building will be looking down on<br />

us,” agreed Ibaid Chhatriwala.<br />

“Once a property goes up 70 feet<br />

from our backyard, our home values<br />

will go down tremendously.<br />

“The ideal solution is to move<br />

to a different site (in Northbrook<br />

Court).”<br />

“It is truly an unreasonable<br />

request,” concurred Mel Septon.<br />

“Hold off until there is a reasonable<br />

plan.”<br />

Septon sneered at the developers’<br />

proposal to plant trees to<br />

serve as a buffer: “Unless they’re<br />

planning to bring in sequoias and<br />

redwoods from Yosemite that’s<br />

not going to happen.”<br />

Nancy Hirsch expressed her<br />

concerns for the safety of children<br />

in the neighborhood because<br />

of the increased traffic. She also<br />

is opposed to the grocery store.<br />

“I live here; we don’t need another<br />

grocery store,” she said.<br />

Louise Ristow, likewise, believes<br />

a grocery store is without<br />

merit and thinks the same thing<br />

applies to the proposed restaurant.<br />

“There are 17 to 20 restaurants<br />

within a two-mile radius and 14<br />

or 15 more in Deerfield proper,”<br />

she said. “Less than two miles<br />

away are a Jewel, a Mariano’s, a<br />

Sunset Foods and a Trader Joes.<br />

Five miles away are two more<br />

Mariano’s, a Heinen’s and a<br />

Whole Foods.”<br />

Commissioner Steve Elisco<br />

told the developers: “The fact<br />

that you can’t accommodate the<br />

concerns (of people in the neighborhood)<br />

is mystifying to me. We<br />

need to see a change in height and<br />

alternatives to the grocery store if<br />

it doesn’t happen.”<br />

“Push the building back from<br />

the south edge and make the<br />

property lower,” urged Commissioner<br />

Daniel Pepoon. “I<br />

happen to be a believer the<br />

grocery store is a good thing;<br />

you need to demonstrate that<br />

(based on evidence from other<br />

developments).”<br />

Mark DeBartolo was<br />

the most enthusiastic of<br />

the members of the Plan<br />

Commission.<br />

“I go on the assumption you<br />

know what you’re doing,” he<br />

said. “I think the grocery store is<br />

a great idea.<br />

“My major concern is Northbrook<br />

Court is 25 percent of our<br />

village tax revenue. If that goes<br />

away what will happen? And<br />

what will happen to property<br />

value then? If you are someone<br />

who bought this close to the mall<br />

thinking nothing was ever going<br />

to happen you were foolish. I<br />

don’t live in that world.”<br />

Commissioner Jennifer Lawrence<br />

had a completely different<br />

opinion.<br />

“When people bought their<br />

property the zoning guidelines<br />

that are in place now were in<br />

effect,” she pointed out. “There<br />

has not been any level of trying<br />

(to alleviate grievances<br />

of neighborhood residents).<br />

This cannot be the only thing<br />

that will make Northbrook<br />

Court survive.”

Bear<br />

Ella Phillips, of Northbrook<br />

Meet Bear, this week’s<br />

Pet of the Week. Bear is a<br />

3-year-old golden retriever<br />

and he loves to go for car<br />

rides, do his thing on the<br />

deck outside when there<br />

is snow, eat bagels off the<br />

counter, drool on you when<br />

you have food, wrestle<br />

with my other dog, and follow my dad everywhere.<br />

Whenever my dad is on vacation, Bear sits up<br />

against the garage door for the whole night. Even<br />

though Bear can be pretty darn annoying, we still<br />

love him just the slobbery self he is.<br />

PLEASE HELP! The Tower needs Pet of the Week submissions!<br />

To see your pet featured as Pet of the Week, send<br />

photos and stories to Martin at martin@northbrooktower.<br />

Newcomers Ross, Hebl elected to Village<br />

Board; incumbent Israel re-elected<br />

Martin Carlino, Editor<br />

Northbrook’s Village<br />

Board will have<br />

two new trustees following<br />

the Tuesday, April 2<br />

municipal election.<br />

Northbrook voters<br />

elected first-time Village<br />

Board candidates<br />

Heather E. Ross and<br />

Johannah Hebl, and reelected<br />

incumbent trustee<br />

Robert Israel during the<br />

uncontested election.<br />

Hebl, a resident of<br />

Northbrook since 2004,<br />

is an estate planning attorney<br />

with Matlin Law<br />

Group of Northbrook.<br />

Hebl has served two<br />

terms on Northbrook’s<br />

Stormwater Management<br />

Commission. After her<br />

years on the Village’s<br />

Stormwater Management<br />

Commission, Hebl was<br />

appointed to the Village’s<br />

Plan Commission in 2017.<br />

During an interview<br />

with The Tower, Hebl said<br />

she’s excited for the opportunity<br />

to serve on the<br />

Village Board.<br />

“I think we’re going to<br />

hit the ground running.<br />

I think we’re ready and<br />

we’re excited about contributing<br />

to the Northbrook<br />

governance,” she<br />

said.<br />

Hebl will continue to<br />

serve on the Plan Commission<br />

until May 14,<br />

when her and Ross are<br />

Ross, a 14-year resident<br />

of Northbrook, is the<br />

law firm formed in 2005,<br />

in Northbrook. Ross has<br />

more than 30 years of<br />

experience working with<br />

and serving on civic and<br />

nonprofit boards.<br />

“I’m really excited for<br />

this opportunity,” Ross<br />

told The Tower. “I’m<br />

looking forward to serving<br />

as a trustee, serving<br />

on the board, and helping<br />

guide Northbrook.”<br />

Both Ross and Hebl<br />

said it’s a hope of theirs<br />

to encourage future developments<br />

in Northbrook,<br />

but to do so in a fair and<br />

equitable way for all residents,<br />

and in a way that<br />

maintains Northbrook’s<br />

character as a community.<br />

When Ross and Hebl<br />

are sworn in next month,<br />

it will be the first majority-women<br />

Village Board<br />

of Trustees in Northbrook<br />

history. The two will join<br />

Village President Sandy<br />

From the Village<br />

Fire department responds<br />

to kitchen fire<br />

On the evening of<br />

Wednesday, April 3, the<br />

Fire Department responded<br />

to a 911 call for a kitchen<br />

fire on Blue Hill Terrace.<br />

Fire crews quickly extinguished<br />

the fire, which<br />

started in the dishwasher.<br />

Working smoke detectors<br />

alerted the occupants<br />

to the fire and all were<br />

able to evacuate safely before<br />

the Fire Department’s<br />

arrival.<br />

This serves as a reminder<br />

to check your smoke detectors.<br />

It was also noted that<br />

the dishwasher’s malfunction<br />

that caused the fire was<br />

due to a faulty part, which<br />

had been recalled by the<br />

manufacturer. Fire Chief<br />

Andy Carlson reminds residents<br />

to visit the Consumer<br />

Product Safety Commission<br />

website at www.cpsc.<br />

gov to check for recalls.<br />

Roadway improvements<br />

Last week, crews completed<br />

the installation of<br />

new landscaping in the project<br />

area. Project work will<br />

pause until later this spring<br />

when the contractor can<br />

begin final paving work.<br />

All traffic lanes will be<br />

open until the paving work<br />

begins. Staff anticipates all<br />

work will be completed<br />

by Friday, June 28. As a<br />

reminder, this work is being<br />

completed as part of<br />

the 1000 Skokie Boulevard<br />

development and includes<br />

pavement widening on<br />

Skokie and installation of<br />

a dedicated right-turn lane<br />

from Sunset Ridge Road to<br />

Skokie.<br />

Shermer Road Bridge<br />

Project<br />

This week, the Village’s<br />

contractor resumed installation<br />

of the brick sidewalk<br />

and parapet walls on the<br />

Shermer Road Bridge.<br />

This construction will require<br />

daily lane closures<br />

but the road will remain<br />

open to traffic throughout<br />

the project.<br />

The final components of<br />

the bridge project are expected<br />

to be complete by<br />

Tuesday, April 30. For more<br />

election.<br />

Gitles and Cooper will<br />

start their first four-year<br />

Polony finished the<br />

night with 1,342 votes<br />

has served on the Northbrook/Glenview<br />

District<br />

30 Board of Education for<br />

three terms and is a graduate<br />

of Glenbrook North,<br />

said he feels his election<br />

to the Glenview Village<br />

Board is “an affirmation”<br />

of the good work he was<br />

able to accomplish with<br />

District 30.<br />

“The constituency that<br />

I had been elected to [represent]<br />

previously was 60<br />

percent Northbrook [residents],”<br />

Gitles said after<br />

declaring victory during an<br />

election-results watch party<br />

at Hackney’s on Lake.<br />

“It means that the rest of<br />

Glenview valued experience,<br />

character and the<br />

work that I had done previously.<br />

I’m very proud of<br />

the work that we’ve done<br />

in District 30.”<br />

After serving as District<br />

30 board president for the<br />

past four years, Gitles said<br />

he will start his new role by<br />

“listening and learning.”<br />

“The biggest thing I’m<br />

going to do is listen,” Gitles<br />

said, noting his experience<br />

helping new board<br />

members get up to speed.<br />

“Listening doesn’t mean<br />

being silent and not participating,<br />

it means listening<br />

— listening to the community<br />

and listening to my<br />

fellow trustees as well.”<br />

My hands on approach reduces costs and avoids confusion.<br />

Glenbrook North chess team wins national tournament<br />

Chris Pullam<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Glenbrook North’s<br />

chess team is one-for-one<br />

in the “winning national<br />

tournaments” department.<br />

The Spartans competed<br />

in the U.S. National Tournament,<br />

their first such<br />

tournament in the chess<br />

team’s six-year history, in<br />

Schaumburg from March<br />

15-17, and won the U1600<br />

National Championship<br />

after seven four-hour<br />

matches.<br />

Siva Muthupalaniappan<br />

tied as the individual national<br />

champion and Zach<br />

Malen took sixth place.<br />

Jeremy Livshots, Gil Axelrod<br />

and Henry Ding rounded<br />

out GBN’s U1600 team.<br />

In the unrated section,<br />

Benson Misevich took<br />

second and Enrique Villalon<br />

tied for eighth while<br />

leading the Spartans to<br />

a third-place finish, with<br />

Daniel Kim, Isaac Cho,<br />

Jennine Eng and DeeDee<br />

Van Treek also competing.<br />

Diego Morales also<br />

took 15th in the U1800<br />

division.<br />

“I think this really<br />

showed the kids who<br />

we are, who they are,”<br />

said head coach Michael<br />

Campbell, a math teacher<br />

at GBN. “We aren’t necessarily<br />

a win-at-all costs<br />

program, but they all love<br />

being together and supporting<br />

each other and<br />

winning for each other. To<br />

me, these kids are all offthe-charts<br />

smart and fun<br />

and social, but this shows<br />

them that it’s okay to still<br />

laugh and enjoy yourself,<br />

and that you can do those<br />

things and still excel.”<br />

Campbell and assistant<br />

coach Adam Levy have<br />

run the program since its<br />

inception six years ago,<br />

when a group of thenstudents<br />

asked the pair<br />

National Tournament. Photos Submitted<br />

GBN’s (left to right) Gil Axelrod, Jeremy Livshots, Siva<br />

Muthupalaniappan and Zach Malen celebrate.<br />

to sponsor the first team.<br />

Since then, the Spartans<br />

have traveled as far south<br />

as Peoria and Champaign<br />

to compete with their peers<br />

from across Illinois.<br />

Former Spartans are currently<br />

playing chess at colleges<br />

like the University of<br />

Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<br />

and Berkley, and others,<br />

according to Campbell,<br />

have won thousands of<br />

dollars in tournaments.<br />

This year, the Spartans<br />

couldn’t resist a shot at<br />

the national stage once the<br />

tournament was scheduled<br />

so close to home; usually,<br />

the national championship<br />

is hosted in cities<br />

like Orland, Nashville or<br />

Columbus.<br />

“The main difference<br />

was in the overall setup,”<br />

Campbell said. “State is<br />

a more team-orientated<br />

event where it’s basically<br />

just eight vs. eight, but at<br />

the national tournament,<br />

the coaches and parents<br />

weren’t even allowed in<br />

the room where they were<br />

playing, so it’s just a bunch<br />

of individual matches that<br />

are then added together for<br />

an accumulative score.”<br />

At the high school level,<br />

all sanctioned matches are<br />

timed, and they can last<br />

anywhere from 15 minutes<br />

to almost five hours.<br />

But each player’s rating<br />

– which determines if<br />

they compete in U1600,<br />

U1800 or any of the other<br />

divisions – begins accumulating<br />

whenever they<br />

play their first sanctioned<br />

match, whether that happens<br />

in high school or<br />

middle school.<br />

According to Campbell,<br />

the high school chess season<br />

starts around the beginning<br />

of the school year<br />

and usually ends with the<br />

State Tournament in February,<br />

but he expects his<br />

players to continue practicing,<br />

and competing,<br />

between now and then.<br />

“They would play every<br />

day [during practice] if I<br />

would let them, but even<br />

after we slow down, they’ll<br />

meet up at one of their<br />

houses and play amongst<br />

themselves or they’ll go to<br />

the library and practice on<br />

their own,” Campbell said.<br />

“It’s not just about getting<br />

better for them, it’s a social<br />

opportunity, as well. They<br />

just enjoy playing and<br />

being around each other.”<br />

During school-sanctioned<br />

practice, Campbell<br />

and Levy like to challenge<br />

the students with various<br />

chess “puzzles,” such<br />

as setting up a mid-game<br />

board and asking them<br />

to checkmate their opponent<br />

in three moves, or by<br />

going over opening and<br />

GBN senior Siva Muthupalaniappan tied as the<br />

individual national champion.<br />

closing moves.<br />

While fewer seniors<br />

competed in the 2019 State<br />

Tournament than in years<br />

past, according to Campbell,<br />

the team was relatively<br />

young, and he’s looking<br />

forward to an experienced<br />

group of sophomores and<br />

juniors returning in the fall.<br />

“Chess is really an outlet<br />

for a lot of kids that<br />

maybe sports isn’t their<br />

thing but they’re still competitive,”<br />

Campbell said.<br />

“You’ll see some of the<br />

most competitive kids in<br />

the world at these chess<br />

tournament. But what’s<br />

neat is the sportsmanship<br />

at the end, when they’ll go<br />

into the hall afterward and<br />

chat about their match and<br />

discuss what they were<br />

thinking at different points<br />

to help each other grow.”

Village teams with Simple Recycling to offer clothing recycling pickup<br />

Elizabeth Manaster<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Have you ever grabbed<br />

a pair of old ripped jeans<br />

and a few stained T-shirts<br />

and simply stuffed them<br />

in the trash along with<br />

your other garbage? If you<br />

have, you are not alone,<br />

and your old textiles have<br />

inevitably ended up in a<br />

landfill. According to the<br />

EPA, more than 11 million<br />

tons of textiles end up in<br />

landfills across our country<br />

each year, and many<br />

of these textiles could be<br />

reused or recycled<br />

The Village of Northbrook<br />

has come up with a<br />

solution to help alleviate<br />

this problem by teaming<br />

up with Simple Recycling,<br />

a for-profit company<br />

that offers the community<br />

a curbside clothing<br />

recycling pickup.<br />

The company provides<br />

orange bags that residents<br />

can fill with old clothing<br />

and household linens<br />

to be recycled. Residents<br />

set the bags out alongside<br />

their usual recycling and<br />

trash bins and Simple Recycling<br />

will then pick up<br />

the bags on the same day<br />

as the Village refuse collection.<br />

There is no cost to<br />

the Village or to the residents.<br />

The company simply<br />

offers an easy way to<br />

keep usable materials out<br />

of the landfill.<br />

The collected items are<br />

sorted locally, and the better-in-condition<br />

items are<br />

sold to thrift shops. Lesser<br />

quality clothing is sent to<br />

overseas markets or sold<br />

for use as raw materials.<br />

“Simple Recycling was<br />

brought to our attention<br />

after speaking with other<br />

communities who were<br />

using their services,” said<br />

Madeline Farrell, assistant<br />

to the Northbrook Village<br />

Manager. “There was very<br />

positive feedback from<br />

both Skokie and Niles,<br />

so we reached out to the<br />

company in order to offer<br />

a service to our residents<br />

that had not been<br />

available before.”<br />

Use of the service began<br />

in December and all<br />

single-family residences<br />

were mailed orange bags<br />

in which to recycle their<br />

used textiles. There is no<br />

charge to the Village, and<br />

Simple Recycling pays<br />

the Village of Northbrook<br />

$20 per ton of textiles collected.<br />

Although it is hard<br />

to tell how much participation<br />

there has been so<br />

far, the service is being<br />

used on a regular basis.<br />

“We did receive checks<br />

in January and February,”<br />

Farrell said. “We’re not<br />

really looking at this as a<br />

source of revenue, but we<br />

know that there has been<br />

participation and we have<br />

recycled multiple tons.”<br />

Farrell expects more<br />

participation in the coming<br />

months with spring<br />

cleaning and warmer<br />

weather. She is also clear<br />

that the Village is in no<br />

way trying to deter anyone<br />

from donating to<br />

other charities.<br />

“We’re just really trying<br />

to keep those textiles out<br />

of the landfills,” she said.<br />

Although their focus is<br />

on textiles and clothing,<br />

the company also collects<br />

other small household reusable<br />

items, including<br />

sleeping bags, backpacks<br />

and even pots and pans.<br />

A complete list of acceptable<br />

items can be<br />

found on their website.<br />

The orange recycling<br />

bags are not tax deductible<br />

and are only available<br />

from the company. More<br />

collection bags can easily<br />

be requested on their<br />

website at simplerecycling.com<br />

and there is no<br />

charge to the resident.<br />

There is also no limit to<br />

the number of bags that<br />

can be recycled. Simple<br />

Recycling will also be<br />

participating in the Green<br />

Expo during Northbrook’s<br />

annual Earth and Arbor<br />

Day Celebration at 8:30<br />

a.m. on April 13. Orange<br />

bags will be available, and<br />

representatives will be<br />

happy to answer questions<br />

about their service.<br />

More information about<br />

the company can be found<br />

on their website.<br />

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER<br />

Update: Person killed<br />

in Route 41 accident<br />

identified; 2 passengers<br />

still hospitalized<br />

The Lake Forest Police<br />

Department has identified<br />

the person who died on<br />

March 29 in a roll-over accident<br />

on Route 41 in Lake<br />

Forest, as 20-year-old<br />

Sierra Riley, of Zion.<br />

Riley was a front passenger<br />

in the vehicle and<br />

the cause of death is still<br />

under investigation by the<br />

Lake County Coroner’s<br />

Office, according to a<br />

press release from the Lake<br />

Forest Police Department.<br />

The driver of the vehicle<br />

is a 30-year-old male<br />

from Zion. He was transported<br />

to Condell Hospital<br />

for treatment and then<br />

was transferred to Loyola<br />

Medical Center, where he<br />

is still undergoing treatment<br />

for injuries, the<br />

release states.<br />

Another male passenger,<br />

27, of North Chicago,<br />

was transported to Condell<br />

Hospital for treatment,<br />

and was then transferred<br />

to Loyola Medical Center,<br />

where he is still undergoing<br />

treatment for his<br />

injuries, per the release.<br />

The third passenger, a<br />

female, 21, of Grayslake,<br />

was transported to Condell<br />

Hospital for treatment and<br />

was released. The Lake<br />

Forest Police Department<br />

press release says this<br />

passenger appeared to be<br />

wearing a seat belt at the<br />

time of the crash and only<br />

had minor injuries.<br />

Preliminary examination<br />

by investigators who<br />

responded to the scene of<br />

the accident, and a potential<br />

witnesses of the crash,<br />

indicate the vehicle was<br />

traveling over the 45 mph<br />

speed limit on Route 41 at<br />

around 3:56 a.m. on March<br />

29.<br />

The four-door Buick<br />

sedan was driving northbound<br />

on Route 41 when<br />

it drove off the right shoulder<br />

of the road north of<br />

Westleigh Road, where it<br />

eventually caught on fire.<br />

At this location, Route<br />

41 turns sharply to the<br />

left, and then right again<br />

to curve underneath a<br />

railroad viaduct. The car<br />

rolled over down a steep<br />

embankment after hitting<br />

several trees.<br />

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR<br />

WLC celebrates 145 years<br />

of ‘improving the lives of<br />

others’<br />

The Woman’s Library<br />

Club of Glencoe hosted its<br />

annual fashion show luncheon<br />

April 3 at its home<br />

within the Writers Theatre,<br />

celebrating 145 years<br />

of uniting philanthropic<br />

women across the North<br />

Shore.<br />

Founded on April 3,<br />

1874, WLC members initially<br />

focused on the creation<br />

of the Glencoe Public<br />

Library, adding a cultural<br />

richness to the community.<br />

Since then, the Village has<br />

taken ownership of the library,<br />

while the members<br />

of the WLC have evolved<br />

into nurturing and thoughtful<br />

drivers of civic change,<br />

attracting woman from<br />

both near and far.<br />

“Our membership base<br />

extends as far as Waukegan,”<br />

said Board President<br />

Jennifer Maxwell<br />

Parkinson, of Glencoe.<br />

“We have grown by leaps<br />

and bounds over the years,<br />

which I attribute to the fact<br />

that we are known to be a<br />

welcoming group, bonding<br />

over improving the lives<br />

of those in and around our<br />

own communities. From<br />

the moment a woman<br />

expresses interest in our<br />

group, she is warmly welcomed<br />

and encouraged to<br />

dive right in and join us in<br />

making a difference.”<br />

For Board Vice President<br />

Linda Campbell, of<br />

Winnetka, the luncheon<br />

served as yet another opportunity<br />

to dispel some<br />

common misconceptions<br />

about what the WLC does.<br />

“Given our name and<br />

our roots, some still see<br />

the WLC as a literary club<br />

only, but the true essence<br />

of our club is to support<br />

other nonprofits, such as<br />

the Whittier School of<br />

Waukegan, Selah Freedom<br />

and Helping Hands, just<br />

to name a few,” Campbell<br />

said.<br />

One of the main recipients<br />

is Curt’s Café,<br />

Campbell added.<br />

“We support their mission<br />

to provide restaurant<br />

job training to at-risk<br />

youth, not only through<br />

fundraising, but by asking<br />

their members to work the<br />

luncheon today,” she said.<br />

“What truly defines the<br />

WLC is a strong desire to<br />

give back, to serve others.<br />

While we all enjoy getting<br />

together for social and cultural<br />

purposes, that sense<br />

of joy is enhanced knowing<br />

we are improving the<br />

lives of others.”<br />

REMODELING<br />

WE SHOW UP ON TIME & NAIL IT<br />

Mother’s Day Essay Contest<br />

Show your love for mom with the written word<br />

Eric DeGrechie<br />

Managing Editor<br />

It’s too often said these<br />

days that the written word<br />

doesn’t receive the recognition<br />

it once did. Getting our<br />

thoughts down on paper<br />

has become a somewhat<br />

lost form of expression.<br />

We aim to change all that<br />

while making local moms<br />

happy in the process. With<br />

a special holiday honoring<br />

moms not too far away, we<br />

welcome the return of our<br />

Mother’s Day Essay Contest.<br />

The Tower is asking<br />

residents to nominate their<br />

mother by writing a short<br />

essay telling us why their<br />

mom is the bee’s knees.<br />

Has your mom been your<br />

biggest cheerleader? Inspired<br />

you to achieve your<br />

dreams? Is she your role<br />

model? Let us know all the<br />

details.<br />

Send us a photo of your<br />

mom with your 300-word<br />

max essay and we’ll publish<br />

the winning entry in<br />

our May 9 issue, just in<br />

time to celebrate Mother’s<br />

Day on Sunday, May 12.<br />

Last year, we chose a<br />

submission from Coby<br />

Khodosh, who wrote about<br />

his mother Jurgita. For winning,<br />

the family received a<br />

prize from Northbrook’s<br />

Edwards Florist. The<br />

Tower would like to thank<br />

Edwards Florist for its gracious<br />

support of the contest<br />

last year.<br />

The deadline for entries<br />

this year is 5 p.m. Thursday,<br />

May 2, which gives<br />

you three weeks to submit.<br />

Please include in your<br />

entry your mother’s first<br />

and last name, as well as<br />

a phone number and email<br />

where we can reach you.<br />

And don’t forget to include<br />

a photo of you and<br />

your mother. The only<br />

restriction is that the winning<br />

mom must reside in<br />

Northbrook.<br />

Northbrook-based CATCH welcomes mental health expert for community panel<br />

Submitted Content<br />

The Northbrook-based<br />

Community Action Together<br />

for Children’s Health<br />

(CATCH) and members<br />

from the Northbrook community<br />

welcomed Dr. Karen<br />

Cassiday on March 6 for<br />

a presentation and panel<br />

discussion about social media<br />

and emotional wellness<br />

among today’s youth.<br />

Cassiday is the managing<br />

director at the Anxiety<br />

Treatment Center of Greater<br />

Chicago, and a well-respected<br />

voice on parenting<br />

in the digital age. She has<br />

appeared on “The Today<br />

“It is important to create<br />

opportunities for learning<br />

(for our children) on digital<br />

devices,” Cassiday said.<br />

“And this includes making<br />

mistakes on the devices and<br />

then taking responsibility.”<br />

She also said that since<br />

digital devices are tools for<br />

children, the answer is not<br />

to keep children from using<br />

them, but to “keep the conversation<br />

open” and “help<br />

teach self-restraint.”<br />

CATCH also invited<br />

Ronit Shapiro for the<br />

panel discussion. She is<br />

the Instructional Technology<br />

Coach in Northbrook<br />

School District 28 and a<br />

Common Sense Media<br />

Ambassador.<br />

“I am really jazzed about<br />

helping children tell their<br />

story via technology,” Shapiro<br />

said. “Creation over<br />

consumption is a positive<br />

way for children to use<br />

digital devices.”<br />

Northbrook resident<br />

Amy Oberholtzer, founder<br />

and chair of CATCH, said<br />

the organization is committed<br />

to making mental health<br />

and emotional well-being<br />

priorities for children.<br />

“We hope these educational<br />

events for the community<br />

will help empower<br />

families to raise resilient,<br />

confident and capable<br />

children,” she said.

families. Local families<br />

have made commitments<br />

currently being hired.<br />

However, we are in need<br />

of funding multiple additional<br />

clinicians. The demand<br />

on our services has<br />

Our visibility in the community,<br />

expanded programming,<br />

and parents’ willingness to<br />

seek services for their children<br />

is leading to daily additions<br />

to the waitlist. We<br />

will be highlighting this<br />

need at the event.<br />

In addition, we will be<br />

recognizing the contributions<br />

of Becky and Bob<br />

McLennan, who helped<br />

kick off our capital campaign<br />

for our current facility<br />

with a gift of $1<br />

million. The building is<br />

now 10 years old and has<br />

been a beacon of hope and<br />

safe space for thousands<br />

of children over that time.<br />

The McLennans have always<br />

‘Rock of Ages Jr.’ sends inspiring message<br />

Alexa Burnell<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Wood Oaks Junior High<br />

School Students stepped<br />

back in time to the 1980s<br />

during their recent production<br />

“Rock of Ages,”<br />

learning that despite the<br />

big hair and cassette<br />

tapes, the quest to discover<br />

oneself and stand up for<br />

personal beliefs, is just as<br />

relevant today as it was<br />

then.<br />

Director Jamie Trow<br />

explained how the production<br />

was selected because<br />

of the upbeat, inspiring<br />

and motivating<br />

themes, resonating with<br />

both young performers<br />

and staff alike.<br />

“There were many reasons<br />

that ‘Rock of Ages’<br />

appealed to us,” Trow<br />

said. “First and foremost,<br />

our beloved Music Director,<br />

Tammy Gould, is<br />

retiring and songs that<br />

are found within the production<br />

like, ‘Don’t Stop<br />

Believing’ are among her<br />

favorites.<br />

“This production is a<br />

tribute to her and all she’s<br />

done for our students. At<br />

the same time, as we explored<br />

the plot more carefully,<br />

we fell in love with<br />

each character; they are<br />

all striving to achieve a<br />

dream, realizing that with<br />

the right mindset and the<br />

willingness to receive<br />

help from others, they<br />

achieve what they set out<br />

to accomplish.<br />

“This is such a motivating<br />

and inspiring message<br />

to send to our junior high<br />

performers and the entire<br />

student body.”<br />

Along with the inspiring<br />

plot came life-lessons<br />

learned off the stage as<br />

well. “Rock of Ages” was<br />

one of the largest casts, attracting<br />

41 students. The<br />

school’s no-cut philosophy,<br />

means that everyone<br />

has a role – either on stage<br />

as a performer, or behind<br />

the scenes as a member of<br />

stage crew.<br />

“I want every student<br />

who wished to be part of<br />

the production to have a<br />

role, which is why there<br />

are no cuts; I saw firsthand<br />

the benefit of this decision,”<br />

Trow said. “When<br />

we first began, the students<br />

grouped themselves<br />

according to age, sitting<br />

only with those they<br />

knew. But, that quickly<br />

changed; everyone took<br />

ownership of their part,<br />

happy to collaborate with<br />

students they didn’t know<br />

in order to create great art.<br />

“It didn’t take long for<br />

this group to become very<br />

close. In the end, they<br />

bonded over the desire<br />

to make ‘Rock of Ages’<br />

a memorable production;<br />

they achieved that goal,<br />

collectively.”<br />

Eighth-grade student<br />

Hannah Dalinka portrayed<br />

Lonny Barnett —<br />

a narrator and rock music<br />

venue manager who<br />

helps aspiring musicians<br />

achieve their dreams.<br />

Dalinka explained that<br />

her involvement in the<br />

school production opened<br />

her eyes about the 1980s,<br />

while having one of<br />

the best performance<br />

experiences of her life.<br />

“Before ‘Rock of Ages’<br />

I probably had a lot of<br />

misconceptions about the<br />

1980s; now I love the<br />

era,” she said. “The music<br />

is so fun and it seemed<br />

to be a simpler time. For<br />

example, when the main<br />

characters decide they like<br />

each other, they just say it<br />

face to face — no texting,<br />

no chance to send a mixed<br />

message. It seemed a lot<br />

easier.<br />

“I also loved how the<br />

characters were all so passionate<br />

about becoming<br />

successful musicians. I<br />

feel the character’s journeys<br />

motivated us as actors<br />

to have the same passion.<br />

This group worked<br />

so hard and we all realized<br />

how important each<br />

role is to another — everyone<br />

had each other’s<br />

back. I ended up falling in<br />

love with songs from Bon<br />

Jovi and Def Leppard, and<br />

I know our parents, most<br />

who grew up in the 1980s,<br />

loved the great songs too.”<br />

For Leah Popovskiy,<br />

also an eighth-grade student,<br />

who played Dennis<br />

Dupree, the owner of the<br />

Dupree Club in jeopardy<br />

of being shut down, the<br />

music only further enhanced<br />

the theme to never<br />

give up on one’s dream.<br />

“The experience both<br />

on and off the stage was<br />

so inspiring,” Popovskiy<br />

said. “This is one of<br />

the best casts I’ve ever<br />

worked with — we all became<br />

very close and supported<br />

one another entirely.<br />

My favorite part comes<br />

at the very end when we<br />

all sing, ‘Don’t Stop Believing.’<br />

We sing directly<br />

to the audience, hoping to<br />

inspire them to never give<br />

up on their dreams either.<br />

The whole performance is<br />

unlike others I’ve participated<br />

in before. The show<br />

is interactive, making the<br />

audience feel like they are<br />

right back in the 1980s,<br />

chasing their dreams too.”<br />

‘It’s always great seeing<br />

so many from our District<br />

31 community come out<br />

to support our schools,”<br />

said Darrin Stern, president<br />

of the Education<br />

Foundation. ‘Our ongoing<br />

focus is to be able to give<br />

as much as we can to both<br />

Winkelman and Field and<br />

we honestly couldn’t continue<br />

without the support<br />

of so many. It takes a lot<br />

of hours and many helpful<br />

people donating their time<br />

and energy to put on this<br />

event. Everyone seemed<br />

to have a great time and<br />

all of us at the Ed Foundation<br />

want to thank everyone,<br />

including our venue<br />

Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar becomes Glenview’s ‘neighborhood hangout’<br />

Martin Carlino<br />

Editor<br />

Steve Fenton believes<br />

the moment you walk<br />

into Glenview’s Flight<br />

Restaurant and Wine Bar,<br />

you should be treated like<br />

family.<br />

And with years of experience<br />

in the industry,<br />

Fenton, the restaurant’s<br />

general manager, feels<br />

providing diners with topnotch<br />

service makes all<br />

the difference.<br />

That’s why Fenton<br />

and staff members work<br />

to instill a strong sense<br />

of community and a<br />

customer-first approach.<br />

“We definitely go by<br />

the motto of treat people<br />

how you want to be<br />

treated,” Fenton said. “I<br />

think there’s not enough<br />

of those places around<br />

anymore. … The treatment<br />

of people is kind of<br />

getting lost. And I don’t<br />

believe in it being lost, I<br />

believe in a staff that cares<br />

and treating people like<br />

family.”<br />

Now 16 years after<br />

founder Steven Herzon<br />

opened Flight Restaurant<br />

and Wine Bar at 1820<br />

Tower Drive inside The<br />

Glen Town Center, it’s a<br />

spot known to many in the<br />

community as Glenview’s<br />

neighborhood hangout.<br />

“I think we definitely<br />

are the neighborhood<br />

hangout and a place where<br />

everyone comes to meet<br />

up or comes after Glenbrook<br />

South or Glenbrook<br />

North games,” Fenton<br />

said.<br />

From its plexiglass panels<br />

hanging on the ceiling<br />

meant to mimic clouds, to<br />

its airplane wing-shaped<br />

bar, the restaurant stays<br />

true to its aviation-based<br />

theme throughout both its<br />

design and menu.<br />

While its name may indicate<br />

a restaurant known<br />

for its wine and cocktails,<br />

Flight’s extensive food<br />

menu offers guests a bevy<br />

of food options.<br />

Fenton said the restaurant’s<br />

menu has nearly tripled<br />

in size over the last six<br />

years, and is now altered<br />

roughly every month, with<br />

new specials being rolled<br />

out and tested before they<br />

are officially added to the<br />

menu. Approximately 25<br />

percent of offerings can be<br />

changed out when an alteration<br />

to the menu is made,<br />

per Fenton.<br />

Fenton always tried to<br />

keep some of the restaurant’s<br />

longtime staples,<br />

like its herb fries, duck<br />

mac and cheese, and signature<br />

Flight burger as<br />

menu constants.<br />

Chefs at Flight use<br />

high-quality and fresh ingredients<br />

in the makings<br />

of the menu’s entirety.<br />

Fenton said the restaurant<br />

tries to be as locally<br />

sourced as possible, with<br />

many of its baking needs<br />

delivered five times a<br />

week from Northbrook’s<br />

Highland Baking Co.<br />

Those headed to Flight<br />

for its wine and cocktail<br />

offerings surely won’t be<br />

disappointed, as it offers a<br />

substantial menu for both.<br />

Fenton said the alcohol<br />

menu features 36 wine offerings<br />

by the glass, more<br />

than 200 different bottles<br />

of wine and nearly 20 signature<br />

cocktails.<br />

Among some of the<br />

specialties are its sage<br />

cocktail, its up in smoke<br />

Manhattan, the Flight old<br />

fashioned and the Mediterrian<br />

mule.<br />

The restaurant’s drink<br />

menu is changed over<br />

about twice a year, with<br />

more minor adjustments<br />

compared to its food<br />

menu. Fenton said about<br />

25 percent of the wines are<br />

switched out each year.<br />

Editors from 22nd Century<br />

Media headed to The<br />

Glen to test out some of<br />

Flight’s food offerings.<br />

We started out with<br />

diver sea scallops ($18).<br />

The gluten-free offering<br />

is served with a rainbow<br />

swiss chard, bacon, butternut<br />

squash and topped<br />

with a hazelnut vinaigrette.<br />

Fenton said the<br />

dish is made with the<br />

highest-grade scallops.<br />

We next tested out the<br />

signature Flight Burger<br />

($15.95). The half-pound<br />

burger is made with Meyer<br />

ranch beef, topped with<br />

sugar-cured bacon, aged<br />

white cheddar, red wine<br />

onions and served with<br />

beer-battered fries and a<br />

side of truffle aioli sauce.<br />

The hearty burger offering<br />

was full of taste and<br />

certainly will satisfy the<br />

taste buds of most burgerlovers.<br />

Those looking for<br />

chicken offerings also<br />

have plenty of options at<br />

Flight. We sampled its<br />

chicken francaise ($20)<br />

dish, which featured a<br />

chicken breast served with roasted potatoes, French green beans and topped with a<br />

The restaurant’s cedar plank roasted salmon ($33) is prepared with a citrus-soy<br />

marinade and served over a peppery stir-fry and rice noodles.<br />

pan-seared chicken breast<br />

and was served with roasted<br />

potatoes, French green<br />

beans and topped with a<br />

lemon-garlic pan jus.<br />

We next tried Flight’s<br />

cedar plank roasted salmon<br />

($33). The salmon is<br />

prepared with a citrussoy<br />

marinade and served<br />

over a peppery stir-fry<br />

and rice noodles. A taste<br />

of the prosciutto and fig<br />

flatbread ($13) concluded<br />

our visit. The popular<br />

flatbread choice is served<br />

with boursin, caramelized<br />

onions, sliced figs,<br />

The Glenview eatery offers many flatbread options,<br />

including its prosciutto and fig ($13) flatbread.<br />

calabrese chilies, sliced<br />

prosciutto, arugula, and<br />

topped with olive oil and<br />

lemon. Flight Wine Bar<br />

and Restaurant offers several<br />

flatbread options, all<br />

of which can be prepared<br />

gluten free.

softball?<br />

When I was about 9<br />

probably because my<br />

brothers played baseball,<br />

so it was natural for me to<br />

play softball.<br />

Northbrook native Donlon<br />

named UMKC head coach<br />

Staff Report<br />

A Northbrook native<br />

is getting another shot to<br />

lead a college basketball<br />

program.<br />

Billy Donlon was<br />

named the head coach of<br />

the University of Missouri-Kansas<br />

City men’s<br />

basketball program. The<br />

school made it official<br />

Wednesday after the University<br />

Board of Curators<br />

met.<br />

Donlon’s second<br />

chance comes after he<br />

led the Wright State program<br />

from 2010 to 2016,<br />

where he earned a 109-94<br />

overall record and 53-49<br />

in the Horizon League.<br />

He has since served as an<br />

assistant coach with the<br />

University of Michigan<br />

before joining Glenbrook<br />

North alumnus Chris Collins<br />

and former Spartans<br />

boys basketball coach Jeff<br />

James at Northwestern<br />

University for the past<br />

two seasons.<br />

Despite the departure<br />

The University of Missouri-Kansas City athletics<br />

department announced the hiring of Billy Donlon as<br />

its men’s basketball head coach. Photo courtesy UMKC<br />

athletics department<br />

from the area, Donlon’s<br />

excited for the challange<br />

of a new area.<br />

“The thing that excites<br />

me about UMKC is that<br />

Kansas City has some of<br />

the best high school basketball<br />

in the state of Missouri,”<br />

Donlan says in a<br />

press release. “And it’s<br />

in the center of one of the<br />

best junior college regions<br />

in the country. We have to<br />

do a great job of recruiting<br />

locally, recruiting<br />

those kids, getting them to<br />

stay and get a great education<br />

at UMKC and play<br />

in front of their families.<br />

The campus is beautiful,<br />

we offer a great location<br />

in this city — now we just<br />

have to prove to the recruits<br />

that we can win and<br />

develop them to be the<br />

best students, players and<br />

people that they can be.”<br />

Northbrook resident earns top state honor<br />

THE NORTH SUBURBAN YMCA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITYWITH<br />

HOWARD SCHULTZ -NSYMCA PRESIDE<strong>NT</strong>/CEO<br />

Working at the Yhas beenone of the most challenging and<br />

satisfying experiences of my life.<br />

When Iwas hired by the NSYMCA in 2006, the Ywas deep in<br />

debt, had many problems, and wasvery close to being terminated<br />

by Y-USA. Paralysis of visionhad set in and Iwas tasked to<br />

“Savethe Y”. Fortunately,likeagood contestant on the cooking<br />

show Chopped,Irecognized the ingredients of awinning menu<br />

here: ateam of dedicated volunteersand staffwho responded<br />

in spectacular fashion once anew vision waslaid out, and the<br />

obstacles to success were removed.<br />

Clearly we did something right. We pursued the “art of the<br />

possible”, became aservice partner of choice fordozens of<br />

community agencies, and after morethan 12 years and $11M later,<br />

the Yhas prospered as the Center of the Community. Wehave<br />

done major renovations, were named the Northbrook Chamber’s<br />

Small Business of the Year,Iwas appointed to twoNational Y-USA<br />

Committees, and we won11categories in the North ShoreChoice<br />

awards forthe thirdstraight year!<br />

RonBernardi showedmethat Rotary’s guiding principle of working<br />

forthe “The GreaterGood” couldbeappliedtohow Imanagedthe<br />

Y--toimprove the lives of those in need, and to servethe broader<br />

community.That single principle is instrumental in everythingwedo,<br />

because it’s the right thing to do!<br />

and we don’t likestanding around.<br />

The best part of my job is hearingabout our members’ life-changing<br />

stories, such as parents beaming about their children’s growth in<br />

Brodell leads the way for Spartans<br />

Gary Larsen<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Every team needs a<br />

player who can calm<br />

things down, a player who<br />

provides an edge and a<br />

player who can get a big<br />

kill when it’s needed.<br />

Glenbrook North junior<br />

Ethan Brodell is just one<br />

player, but he can fill all<br />

three of those roles.<br />

“He’s not the most<br />

flashy kid out there but<br />

he does everything well,”<br />

Glenbrook North coach<br />

Chris Cooper said. “He’s<br />

got some grit and some<br />

real calmness to him. We<br />

never seem to get bent out<br />

of shape and that’s largely<br />

because of the way he<br />

plays out there.”<br />

Brodell had six kills<br />

and two blocks in the<br />

host Spartans’ 25-21, 25-<br />

13 win over Glenbrook<br />

South on Thursday, April<br />

4. With a raucous crowd<br />

present for the local rivalry<br />

game, Brodell did what<br />

he could to keep his side<br />

collected.<br />

“The gym was packed<br />

today but really it’s just<br />

the six people on the court<br />

and that’s all that matters,”<br />

Brodell said. “So I<br />

just try to keep everyone<br />

calm.”<br />

Thursday’s first set<br />

went back-and-forth between<br />

the Spartans and<br />

Titans, before Glenbrook<br />

North (5-2) gained separation<br />

from Glenbrook<br />

South (2-2).<br />

The Spartans grabbed<br />

momentum and the win,<br />

and then rode that momentum<br />

to a more convincing<br />

second-set win.<br />

Jack Joselit and Zach<br />

Fox finished with four<br />

kills apiece for the Spartans,<br />

Louis Betang had 18<br />

assists, and Paul Wyszynski<br />

had eight digs.<br />

Both teams were missing<br />

players due to assorted<br />

injuries, and Cooper<br />

has been pleased with the<br />

effort he’s getting from an<br />

ever-changing lineup.<br />

“Every night it seems<br />

like there’s a different<br />

guy stepping up,” Cooper<br />

said. “(Fox) has been<br />

doing a nice job on the<br />

outside, and it’s (Betang’s)<br />

first year setting<br />

and he’s starting to pick<br />

it up. David Gusis probably<br />

wasn’t expecting to<br />

play middle but he’s doing<br />

a nice job, and Alex<br />

Brafford is probably one<br />

of our newest players in<br />

terms of years of experience,<br />

but he’s playing<br />

well. So we’re just getting<br />

a really good combination<br />

of things right<br />

now.”<br />

One of the constants has<br />

been Brodell, who also<br />

plays with an edge that’s<br />

quickly apparent on the<br />

court.<br />

“I like to try to carry a<br />

little bit of mojo, a little<br />

fire,” he said. “I play best<br />

when I think I’m the best<br />

player on the court. The<br />

adrenaline is running<br />

through you and you feel<br />

like you can do anything.”<br />

Glenbrook South took<br />

the court without a few<br />

injured players, including<br />

four-year starting setter<br />

Thomas Cavallaro,<br />

who is expected to return<br />

sometime next week. But<br />

Titans coach Tim Monahan<br />

wasn’t making any<br />

excuses.<br />

“Glenbrook North has a<br />

really nice group and they<br />

played well,” Monahan<br />

said.<br />

“The difference was,<br />

in the first set we had 10<br />

unforced errors to their<br />

three, and in the second<br />

set we had eight unforced<br />

errors to their two. That’s<br />

the difference.”<br />

Titans outside hitter<br />

Jack Shampine, who recently<br />

committed to play<br />

at Penn State next year,<br />

got down to specifics.<br />

“It was mostly our<br />

serves,” he said. “When<br />

we make our serves we<br />

can go on a run so that’s<br />

one of the biggest things.<br />

One of our biggest faults<br />

today was also our passing<br />

but when we clean<br />

that up we’ll be okay.”<br />

The Titans began the<br />

season with wins over<br />

Elk Grove and Maine<br />

West before dropping<br />

matches to Lincoln-Way<br />

Central and Glenbrook<br />

North. Cavallaro’s looming<br />

return figures to boost<br />

a Titans team that has<br />

Libero Paul Wyszynski returns a serve.<br />

solid pieces around the<br />

court.<br />

“(Shampine) is obviously<br />

the real deal and<br />

Kyle (Busiel), our sophomore<br />

in the middle, is<br />

doing a nice job for us,”<br />

Monahan said. “Colin<br />

Roy shifted over from<br />

the middle to the outside<br />

and he’s doing a nice job<br />

there, and if teams focus<br />

too much on (Shampine),<br />

Joey Masloski is going to<br />

surprise some people.”

The Spartans are<br />

excited to start<br />

their season with<br />

a talented, experienced<br />

group.<br />

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor<br />

Head coach Ryan Dul<br />

has a lot of talent this season<br />

and he’s excited to<br />

see what happens with his<br />

highly ranked squad.<br />

The Tower Sports Editor<br />

Michal Dwojak caught up<br />

with the coach to see what<br />

will be special this season.<br />

What are you looking<br />

forward to this season?<br />

Honestly, I have a really<br />

good team, guys that have<br />

a lot of potential. We still<br />

have a couple of guys who<br />

are out on injury, so we<br />

still have yet to meet our<br />

full potential, so we can<br />

still do some pretty cool<br />

things this year.<br />

How do you handle a<br />

season like this?<br />

That’s why I’m kind of<br />

happy we’re not the No. 1<br />

seed because they still focus<br />

on not being on top and<br />

wanting to be No. 1. They<br />

have this goal, even before<br />

the season, they already<br />

saw how good they were<br />

going to be and they were<br />

the ones coming up to me<br />

saying hey, we have a really<br />

good team this year, we<br />

can do some really good<br />

things. It really is a matter<br />

of keeping them focused,<br />

ensuring they’re doing<br />

what they need to get done<br />

at practice. When you<br />

have gymnasts of this kind<br />

of skill, you don’t really<br />

need to work on the skill,<br />

but work on the stamina<br />

and perfecting the routine,<br />

which is what we’ve been<br />

slowly getting to.<br />

Do you approach this<br />

season any differently?<br />

I put a little less focus on<br />

getting skills because they<br />

already have them. Ideally<br />

the only thing that changes<br />

is kind of more routines<br />

in practice. I need to keep<br />

them a little more focused<br />

in that regard, because<br />

sometimes routines aren’t<br />

the most-fun thing to do at<br />

practice. You have to keep<br />

it light as well. I really like<br />

to think I don’t change<br />

anything from year to year.<br />

We still have our weekly<br />

talks where I have a lesson<br />

each week according to<br />

what our team theme is. I<br />

still hold them accountable<br />

for their actions, whether<br />

good or bad. I still have<br />

the same expectations of<br />

being good teammates,<br />

good sportsmanship. Even<br />

though they’re good, you<br />

still have to hold them to<br />

what they need to do.<br />

Glenbrook North gymnast Casey Mutchnik has been a major contributor for his team<br />

this year. 22nd Century Media File Photo<br />

Who are you looking<br />

forward to seeing compete<br />

this season?<br />

Casey Mutchnik is a<br />

senior and one of our captains.<br />

He took fifth place<br />

in parallel bars, so I’m<br />

looking forward to seeing<br />

what else he’s able to<br />

bring as an individual. But<br />

more importantly, what<br />

he’s been able to bring to<br />

the team, he’s the one guy<br />

on the team that drives that<br />

we need to get the routines<br />

done. He’s the guy who<br />

does a million routines and<br />

time after time is the most<br />

consistent one. The guys<br />

hopefully recognize that<br />

and know he’s consistent,<br />

they need to follow suit.<br />

We have a new senior who<br />

is one of the reasons why<br />

we’re ranked as high as we<br />

are, Cam Hardagree. He has<br />

been at GBN ever since his<br />

sophomore year and he’s<br />

been doing club, but he’s<br />

not doing club so he came<br />

out for the team and he is<br />

just an excellent individual.<br />

He does really good gymnastics<br />

but he’s also another<br />

asset in the gym because<br />

he’s so knowledgeable and<br />

always willing to help others<br />

on the team to bring out<br />

the best in them. His best<br />

event by far is pommel<br />

horse and I truly feel he can<br />

walk away with a pommel<br />

horse championship.<br />

What’s the room like in<br />

there?<br />

There’s definitely confidence<br />

and confidence is<br />

definitely something I want<br />

them to have because with<br />

confidence comes better<br />

performances. If you’re<br />

not confident about something,<br />

you’re probably not<br />

going to go after it as hard<br />

as you should. There’s also<br />

the possibility of being<br />

over confident, and they’ve<br />

done a good job of keeping<br />

that in check. I told them<br />

nothing in life is ever given<br />

to you and nobody is going<br />

to give us anything in this<br />

sport either. Even though<br />

we may have felt like we<br />

earned it and deserved it,<br />

it’s not just going to come<br />

to us.<br />

How good is it for the<br />

postseason to have tough<br />

competition within the<br />

conference?<br />

Three out of the top<br />

teams in state are from the<br />

Central Suburban League;<br />

us, Niles West and Deerfield.<br />

It prepares us really<br />

well for the postseason.<br />

We see each other all<br />

throughout the season and<br />

it helps push us. Nothing<br />

is ever given to us. We go<br />

into these meets and it’s<br />

not a give me. We have to<br />

perform well to beat this<br />

other team. It doesn’t let<br />

us put the brakes on. We<br />

just need to keep pressing<br />

forward and keep accelerating.<br />
