Rauner lists Winnetka mansion for $2.9M 

NEIL MILBERT, Freelance Reporter 

Bruce Rauner moved out of the governor’s 

mansion in Springfield in January 

and now he wants to move out of his mansion 

in Winnetka. 

The former Illinois governor and his 

wife, Dianna, put their Nantucket-style 

residence at 720 Rosewood on the real 

estate market late last month on April 29 

with an asking price of $2,999,900. 

“This extraordinary home is truly a 

peaceful natural sanctuary in the heart of 

Winnetka ... a stunning tranquil oasis in 

one of Winnetka’s most premier neighborhoods,” 

real estate agent, Jena Radnay, 

of Winnetka, said in her listing. 

The listing also says the 6,870-squarefoot 

home is situated on 0.51 acres just 

west of Green Bay Road. 

Although Radnay didn’t return phone 

calls asking for comment, Crain’s Chicago 

Business, the Chicago Tribune, the 

Chicago Sun-Times and several other 

publications and Chicago television stations 

reported that Rauner owned the 

property and lived in the home before he 

became governor in 2015. 

Cook County property records show 

that the lot on which the home is located 

sold for $830,000 in 1995 and the home 

was built the following year. 

The home has eight bedrooms and seven 

bathrooms, four fireplaces, a master 

suite with a spa-like bathroom, an office

Listing 

that leads to a library, a spacious kitchen 

and a rooftop deck and garden. It has high 

ceilings and tall windows. 

If the Winnetka mansion is sold quickly, 

Rauner won’t have to hustle to find a 

new place to live. 

He owns eight other homes in five 

states: two units in a luxury condominium 

building at 340 E. Randolph St. in the 

Loop, a Manhattan penthouse overlooking 

Central Park, a beachfront home in 

Florida, a condo in Utah, two Montana 

ranches and a farm in Wyoming. 

In 2008, he paid $4.06 million for a 

61st-floor penthouse in the Randolph 

Street condo building and later that year 

he paid $1.22 million for a 41st floor unit

Five local civic leaders 

had something in common. 

They were the founding 

members of New Trier 

Township High School. 

It was their commitment 

to education and a legacy 

that was honored April 

29 at a Founders Plaque 

Revealing Ceremony at 

New Trier Township High 

School’s Winnetka campus. 

The five men were 

Wilmette’s Rev. William 

Netstraeter, Merritt Starr 

and Dr. Byron Stolp; Winnetka’s 

James M. Johnson; 

and Glencoe’s General 

Charles H. Howard. 

“We are here to honor 

our school’s founders, the 

generations who came beforehand 

and those who 

keep our mission alive for 

future generations,” said 

Dr. Paul Sally, Superintendent 

of New Trier. “It is 

my belief an organization 

that does not understand 

its history misses many 

opportunities for things we 

need to keep doing for the 

future.” 

Peter Tragos, assistant 

superintendent for curriculum 

and instruction, then 

gave a brief history of how 

New Trier came to be. 

“Hundreds moved to 

the North Shore after the 

Chicago Fire and the coming 

of the CNW Railroad 

to the area,” Tragos said. 

“In 1880, there were about 

1,500 people, but by 1890, 

there were around 2,500 

residents. In 1900, the 

The plaque honoring New Trier’s founders, in which 

was revealed April 29, at the Winnetka campus. Photos 

by Lois Bernstein/22nd Century Media 

number was 5,400.” 

He said families had 

an elementary school in 

the area but no secondary 

school. 

“Families paid tuition 

and either sent their children 

to Evanston Township 

High School or Chicago’s 

North Side Sullivan 

or Senn High Schools or to 

boarding schools,” Tragos 

said. “After an 1897 referendum 

to annex Wilmette 

to Evanston failed, interest 

grew to obtain a districtwide 

public high school.” 

One of them was Rev. 

William Netstraeter, who 

was the founding pastor 

of Wilmette’s St. Joseph 

Church. He tried to interest 

the Chicago Archdiocese 

in establishing a parochial 

high school in the 

New Trier Township but 

was denied. 

Rev. Netstraeter then 

went to other civic leaders 

in the area namely Starr, 

Stolp, Johnson and Howard 

to join forces with him 

in establishing a public 

high school district. They 

all had different backgrounds 

but a common interest 

in education. 

“The five civic leaders in 

1899 got a $60,000 referendum 

passed, bought the 

six acres of wooded land 

on which New Trier High 

School now stands and 

which no one wanted to 

live,” Tragos said. “They 

quickly formed a school 

board and sold bonds. In 

1900, they hired an architect 

and construction 

company. Using aggressive 

timelines, the school 

opened Feb. 4, 1901 with 

76 students and seven 

teachers. Classes were 

held on the main floor and 

in the basement while the 

rest of the building was 

completed. 

“We are boosted by our 

founders. They came from 

different fields but what 

brought them together is 

the legacy we live here. 

It was their commitment 

to education and having 

a public and free high 

school. They have improved 

our lives locally 

and nationally.” 

The same desire to bring 

civic leaders together to 

establish New Trier is 

what initially brought a 

group of four women together 

to ensure the five 

founders’ legacy would be 

remembered. 

“We wanted their names

known and their mission to 

continue for future generations,” 

said Nancy Canafax, 

one of four Wilmette 

women who started the 

initiative three years ago to 

find a way of memorializing 

New Trier’s founders. 

Three of them are New 

Trier graduates — Anita 

Menegnello Hargett ’52, 

Mary Pat Buckley ’73 and 

Nancy Birnbaum Blake 

’74. 

They give tribute to 

Anita Menegnello Hargett 

who originally came up 

with the idea of memorializing 

Rev. William Netstraeter 

whom she thought 

was the only founder of 

the high school. 

Research began earnestly 

in 2016; however, 

Hargett passed away shortly 

afterward. 

“We began our research 

at Wilmette’s Historical 

Museum and then Glencoe 

and Winnetka Historical 

Societies,” Blake said. 

“We went to the New Trier 

Township office and spoke 

to whomever might have 

information. Rev. Netstraeter 

did so many things 

in the area. One was serving 

as mayor of Wilmette. 

We were surprised to find 

information about the other 

four civic leaders who 

came together with him 

to start New Trier High 

School.” 

Linda Yonke, former 

New Trier superintendent, 

joined the group followed 

by Alan Dolinko, former 

school board member. 

New Trier’s Tri-Ship 

leadership club, which 

does fundraising for various 

events, contributed 

half the cost of the Founders 

Day plaque. 

“I hope people will be 

inspired by the perseverance 

of the original founders 

who laid the framework 

for our school that 

has benefited so many for 

118 years,” said Logan 

Weaver, Tri-Ship president. 

“Every time I walk into 

the entryway at New Trier, 

I will remember what these 

men have done for us,” said 

Nate Schinderle Tri-Ship 

Club’s president elect. “We 

continue using their beliefs 

and core principles of 

citizenship, fellowship and 

sportsmanship.”

New Trier Township navigates 

residents through federal services 

Alexa Burnell 


As part of a series of 

educational forums held at 

New Trier Township, Maribeth 

Stein — outreach 

coordinator/constituent 

advocate for Congresswoman 

Jan Schakowsky 

— spoke on April 17 

teaching residents how to 

navigate federal government 

services and understand 

how their elected local 

officials can help. 

The educational forums 

are the brainchild of Jack 

Macholl, Township communications 

director, who 

created the program in response 

to frequently asked 

questions from the community. 

“Residents often come 

to us, asking where to seek 

help when it comes to topics 

around mental health, 

senior-related issues, 

health care and more. It is 

our goal to bring the experts 

to our offices, letting 

them answer these questions 

and give guidance to 

our community,” Macholl 

said. “It is also our hope, 

that through these forums, 

people learn how our own 

township helps the community. 

We exist to support 

the residents, particularly 

when faced with life 

challenges.” 

When Stein greeted the 

crowd, she explained how 

there are two ways a congressional 

office works. 

“There is political side, 

and a constituent side. 

I’m on the constituent 

side. While I cannot talk 

about politics, I am here 

to here to help people get 

the answers they need; we 

can usually work through 

roadblocks, effectively,” 

she said. 

Stein explained she 

hoped her presentation 

would provide clarity for 

those struggling to navigate 

topics around veteran 

benefits, IRS, postal 

issues, Medicare, Social 

Security, health care and 

immigration status. 

When it comes to Medicare, 

Stein explained that 

while she can help with 

enrollment or coverage issues 

but residents need to 

do a little homework first. 

“We usually suggest 

that a citizen give a few 

attempts first and keep detailed 

records, because we 

will need that information 

to break through the roadblocks,” 

she said. “Simply 

keep track of the times you 

called, get the names of the 

individuals you spoke with 

and take note of any other 

measure taken to resolve 

the issue on our own. If 

after a few calls, you are 

still having trouble, this is 

when we can take over.” 

Stein’s office can also 

help navigate Medicare 

Part D topics, including 

status checks, enrollment 

errors and billing issues. 

“I am on the phone with 

Social Security about six 

times a day, particularly 

the Evanston, Mt. Prospect 

and the Lawrence Avenue 

offices; these are the 

branches that impact you.” 

Stein said. 

As for immigration issues, 

Stein’s office can 

help obtain applications 

for visas and green cards, 

assist with refugee resettlement 

and clarify travel 

docs with the department 

of homeland security. 

Stein’s office can also 

help direct people to the 

right departments, when 

facing housing issues 

such as eviction. Raising 

the standard of care at a 

nursing homes and patient 

advocacy is another topic 

Stein and her colleagues 

frequently address. 

Stein also explained the 

many ways, local government 

offices, like New 

Trier Township, positively 

impact their communities

Three Winnetkans team up to open pop-up shop 

Megan Bernard, Editor 

“Pop-ups are exciting 

and have great energy that 

isn’t stale for the customer 

or the business owner.” 

So said Laura White, 

who is operating a special 

shop through Saturday, 

May 11, with two friends, 

Cassie Buccellato and 

Nancy Chase, all of Winnetka. 

While pop-ups are 

unique in themselves, this 

trio makes the experience 

truly special by bringing 

together their three businesses 

for one experience 

at 847 Elm St. 

“We are three women 

that have come together to 

create an awesome space 

and create some energy 

in the town,” said White, 

who has hosted “wildly 

successful” pop-ups before 

in town. “I’ve been 

wanting to do this again 

for a couple of years. ... 

I’ve been circling around 

and circling around. It’s 

been hard to find a space 

and someone who wanted 

to have us do this space.” 

Together, the women 

looked at a variety of empty 

storefronts and when

services, voters registration, 

Veterans services, 

access to the food pantry, 

relief during catastrophic 

life events, help with medication 

co-pay and providing 

grants – these are just 

some of the many ways a 

township can help their 

communities. 

“This township in particular, 

is doing a great service 

by providing podcasts 

that disseminate digestible 

information on many of 

the topics mentioned here 

today; it’s important for

Elm Street storefront, they 

knew it was the one. 

White, Buccellato and 

Chase opened their store 

on April 18 and each have 

their own contributing 

business. 

White and her husband 

are the creators of Arch 

Glow Botanical Facial 

Oils, a line that is created 

with all natural ingredients. 

Buccellato is an artist 

and offers paintings at the 

shop. According to her 

personal website, she prefers 

to play with a largescale 

format, and use oversized 

brushes to unleash 

movement. 

Chase, a floral artist, 

has more than 30 years of 

experience. Her canvas is 

every wedding, home and 

special event she touches 

— each one with its 

unique story and character, 

her website says. Chase is 

also the one to thank for 

the beautiful awning with 

draped flowers outside the 

store.

also sell special teas, vintage

The physical shop itself 

is narrow but extremely 

bright and airy, providing 

a “spring experience,” 

White said. 

“The space lends itself 

to having an art gallery 

feel which is what our intention 

is,” she added. 

“The size also allows for 

the artwork to be spread 

out and each group has 

people to remember their 

township office is a place 

to go for help too,” Stein 

said. 

Stein left attendees with 

a final piece of advice 

when considering placing 

a call to her offices. 

“The best step you can 

take is it put your concern, 

request or issue into writing. 

In that letter, tell us 

specifically what it is you 

need help with,” Stein 

said. “By the time we get 

on the phone, we can already 

provide information

concern. It just makes the 

process that much more efficient.”

The main goal of the

The trio offers prosecco

The modern holiday of 

Mother’s Day was first 

celebrated in 1908. Every 

year since, sons and daughters 

have found countless 

ways to honor their mothers 

whether through a 

phone call, sending a card 

in the mail or taking them 

out for Sunday brunch. 

Here at 22nd Century 

Media, we give readers 

an opportunity to let mom 

know how much they mean 

to them with our annual 

Mother’s Day Essay Contest. 

The winners, as chosen 

by our editorial team, 

were selected from the

Beacon (Wilmette and Kenilworth), 

The Winnetka 

Current (Winnetka and

Northfield nonprofit brings ‘light’ to caregivers on Mother’s Day 

LEE A. LITAS 


Suffering no less than 

four miscarriages before 

giving birth to two healthy 

children, Andrea Bialk 

was surely a mom to be 

celebrated on Mother’s 

Day. Still, when her husband 

asked her what she 

would like as a gift for her 

special day, her answer 

hardly surprised him. 

“I told him I would rather 

do something for other 

mothers who were going 

through hardship,” said 

Bialk, of Glenview, founder 

of Northfield-based 

Loving Without Limits. 

She had chosen the 

name of her foundation as 

a symbol of what mothers, 

parents and caregivers do. 

“They love without limits. 

There is nothing that 

will stand in their way of 

showing their hospitalized 

child their love. There 

are no boundaries when it 

comes to a parent’s love. 

Day in and day out, a 

parent loves with no limits,” 

said Bialk, who was 

moved to do something 

when she recognized that 

parents and caregivers are 

seldom acknowledged for 

the amount of work they 

do. 

“It just blows my mind 

because they are the ones 

that have to remain positive 

and strong for these 

children,” Bialk said. 

The 501(c)3 nonprofit’s 

board is made up of Bialk, 

two registered nurses and a 

family therapist. The team 

first identified children’s 

hospitals around Chicago. 

Since 2017, LWL volunteers 

have given out 525 

bags full of everyday essentials 

and treats to caregivers 

in Advocate Lutheran 

General Children’s 

Hospital in Park Ridge, 

Loyola Children’s Hospital 

in Maywood, RUSH 

and UIC Comer Children’s 

Hospitals in Chicago, 

Northshore Evanston 

Hospital, Alexian Brothers 

Children’s Hospital in 

Hoffman Estates and Advocate 

Children’s Hospital 

in Oak Lawn. 

They spread the love every 

Mother’s Day and, in 

2019, are on track to visit 

another 300 people. 

“I would love for this to 

spread during the week of 

Mother’s Day to all children’s 

hospitals nationwide,” 

Bialk said. 

Once they identified 

the hospitals, the team began 

reaching out to sponsors 

and donors for care 

items to include. From the 

bags themselves donated 

Loving Without Limits volunteers and board members 

(left to right) Daira Tramontin, Andrea Bialk (founder), 

Louise Locke, Lindsey Bialk and Amy Tierney pose with 

their donation bags. Lee Litas/22nd Century Media 

by SHIPT, to individualsized 

pizzas donated by 

Lou Malnati’s, each bag is 

chock full of goodies. 

The owners of the independently-owned 

and 

franchised Nothing Bundt 

Cakes are donating individually-wrapped 

bundlet 

tower cakes for each bag. 

“We enjoyed partnering 

on the cause,” said Caryn 

Simons, owner of Nothing 

Bundt Cakes in Skokie. 

“We like to give back to 

the community (and) especially 

to honor the mothers 

and caregivers that have 

kids in the hospital during 

the holidays.” 

Some of the family 

members and parents are 

brought to tears, according 

to Bialk, and most are 

thoroughly surprised to receive 

the gift. 

“It was just the kindest 

gesture,” said Carol Luetkehans, 

of Wheaton, who 

received a LWL gift bag 

on Mother’s Day in 2017. 

Leutkehans was at Lutheran 

General Hospital 

caring for her son during 

in-patient chemotherapy. 

“I realized really what 

I was going through and 

I was so appreciative of 

what they had done,” 

Leutkehans said. “They 

don’t know me and I don’t 

know them. It was just 

that simple gesture to ... 

encourage you and bring 

a little color and light to 

your day.”

As a youngster growing 

up on Elder Lane in Winnetka, 

Emily Rose spent 

many happy days climbing 

two crabapple trees outside 

Greeley School. 

“I grew up with Greeley 

as my backyard,” Rose 

said. “All the neighborhood 

kids gathered to play 

after school, during the 

summer and in the evenings.” 

While perfect for climbing, 

crabapple trees are 

highly susceptible to diseases. 

Greeley’s wellloved 

trees eventually 

died, leaving empty spaces 

where Rose and her friends 

once played.

As luck would have 

it, Rose — now a Greeley 

parent living just five 

doors down from her 

childhood home — helped 

orchestrate the planting of 

two new replacement trees 

in celebration of National 

Arbor Day on April 26. 

A Japanese Tree Lilac 

and Smoke Bush were 

ceremoniously planted on 

$ 

4 98 

LB. 

Greeley soil on the afternoon 

of April 23, with help 

from the Village of Winnetka’s 

Assistant Forester, 

Andrew Lueck; Greeley 

Principal, Joshua Swanner; 

and an enthusiastic 

crowd of fourth-graders. 

“Trees symbolize the 

Greeley value of taking 

care of our earth,” Swanner 

said, before inviting 

the students to shovel 

topsoil around the newly 

planted trees. 

The tree planting was 

one of several school activities 

scheduled in observation 

of Earth Day 

on April 22. During the 

course of the week, students 

were encouraged to 

walk or bike to school and 

bring in a no-waste lunch. 

Supplied by Gro Nurseries 

and funded by Greeley’s 

PTO-funded Dream 

Green initiative, at 10-12 

feet tall, the Japanese Tree 

Lilac is nearly full-grown. 

Tiny white blossoms will 

appear on the six-foot tree 

as early as next month. 

The smaller Smoke 

Bush Tree is a gift to Greeley 

School from the Village 

of Winnetka. Supplied by 

Fiore Nursery, the Smoke 

Bush Tree — so named for 

the bright purple leaves 

and clusters of flowers that 

emerge from its branches 

like smoke — was chosen 

by members of Greeley’s 

fourth-grade class. 

“We offered up a selection 

of tree species that 

would do well in this particular 

spot,” Lueck said. 

At just three feet tall, 

Greeley’s new Smoke 

Bush Tree won’t be a 

“climber” like its predecessor, 

the crabapple. Still 

small and immature, the 

sapling will need to be watered 

and protected until it 

reaches its full height of 

10-12 feet in 5-6 years. 

“I need you guys to 

promise me one thing,” 

Swanner said to the roughly 

80 students gathered 

New Trier District 203 Board of Education 

outside for the tree-planting 

ceremony, “you can’t 

play soccer here anymore 

while you’re waiting to be 

picked-up, OK?” 

To be sure, Greeley’s 

trees still have a friend in 

Rose. An avid gardener, 

Rose volunteers with the 

school’s Grounds Committee 

and regularly 

weeds, plants and prunes 

the property with her four 

children. 

“The small neighborhood 

schools that Winnetka 

offers are unique,” Rose 

said. “I want my own children 

to experience what it 

means to be part of a small 

school community.” 

Teacher contract gets greenlighted 

Submitted by New Trier 

A four-year faculty contract 

was approved April 

29 that contains district 

costs while still keeping 

New Trier competitive in 

retaining and hiring highquality 

teachers. 

Teachers approved the 

contract following more 

Assistant Village Forrester Andrew Lueck and 

Principal Joshua Swanner oversee fourth-graders

soil on Greeley’s new Smoke Bush Tree, supplied by 

the Village and planted in honor of Arbor Day. Libby

than 77 hours of negotiations 

over 17 sessions between 

January and April. 

Representatives from the 

faculty, administration and 

board participated in the 

collaborative bargaining 

sessions, which were facilitated 

by an independent 

mediator. 

It will increase teachers’ 

base salaries by 2.5 

percent in 2019-20 and by 

2 percent in 2020-21 and 

2021-22. The increase in 

2022-23 will be set by the 

December 2020 Consumer 

Price Index, with a floor of 

1 percent and a ceiling of 3 

percent.

Submitted by District 36 

The Winnetka 

Public 

Schools announces 

that 

Betty Weir 

has been 

promoted to Weir 

Principal of 

The Skokie School. Weir 

will complete the current 

school year as assistant 

principal of The Skokie 

School and begin her new 

position on July 1. 

Throughout the coming 

months, she will work 

closely with current Principal 

Kelly Tess to ensure 

a smooth transition into 

the position when Tess assumes 

the role of assistant 

superintendent of professional 

learning and human 

resources. 

“I am honored to continue 

to support our students 

during their middle school 

journey,” Weir said. “I am 

committed to nurturing our 

students as learners and 

citizens as they journey 

through Skokie School. I 

look forward to partnering 

with the adults in our 

school community to serve 

our children and provide 

them with rich learning 

experiences. I am excited 

to foster this commitment 

and serve our community 

in this new leadership capacity.” 

Weir’s knowledge and 

experience as an assistant 

principal includes two 

years serving the community 

of Lakeview Elementary, 

a K-6 building 

in Hoffman Estates. Prior 

to that, she served in The 

Winnetka Public Schools 

in the role of interim district 

curriculum coordinator, 

as well as teacher on 

special assignment in the 

curriculum office. 

During her time in both 

roles, Weir led curriculum 

design in a variety of content 

areas, from reading to 

health. She spent time in 

many classrooms across 

all five District 36 schools, 

giving her a well-rounded 

picture of a child’s K-8 

journey. She also taught 

at The Skokie School for 

five years in sixth grade as 

a language arts and social 

studies teacher. Her most 

recent experience as Assistant 

Principal to The Skokie 

School has given her the 

continued administrative 

experience at the middle 

school level, making her 

an ideal candidate for the 

role of principal.

Happy Mother’s Day, moms! 

Megan Bernard 


Happy Mother’s Day 

from The Winnetka 

Current! 

In this week’s issue, we 

honored three North Shore 

moms who won prizes in 

our Annual Mother’s Day 

Essay Contest. 

For the contest, we 

asked readers across our 

seven North Shore publications 

to send in a short 

story and a photo about 

what makes their mom 

the best mom out there. In 

return, we got some heartwarming 

responses. 

In one winning entry 

from Wilmette, Rachel 

Mohn writes: “When I 

think of my mother, I think 

of a few words, compassion, 

dedication and unconditional 

love” — and 

that’s what it’s all about. 

We loved reading all our 

submitted essays. Even if 

you didn’t place in the top 

three chosen essays, we 

still hope you can share 

your thoughtful words 

with Mom. 

Across the paper, we’ve 

highlighted some more 

powerful and hardworking 

women, and in honor of 

Mother’s Day, I thought 

I’d shed some more light 

on them. 

Take the three ladies 

who opened their own 

pop-up shop on Elm Street 

in Winnetka. The women, 

Laura White, Nancy Chase 

and Cassie Buccellato, 

were all friends beforehand, 

and put together 

their three businesses 

to create one store for a 

limited time. 

I had the pleasure of 

meeting and interviewing 

White, Chase and Buccellato 

last week, and their 

energy and friendship is 

contagious. Be sure to visit 

the pop-up shop before it 

closes this Saturday. 

We also highlighted the

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Random dog searches 

begin at Wilmette Junior 

High School 

Parents with children 

at Wilmette Junior High 

School were notified via 

email by Principal Kelly 

Jackson on April 24 that 

a new safety measure 

implementing random 

dog searches will begin in 

May, sparking excitement 

in some parents and concern 

in others. 

The email further explained 

that dogs used will 

be non-aggressive breeds 

trained to search common 

areas such as hallways, 

lockers and school 

grounds for illicit drugs 

and narcotics, gunpowderbased 

items, alcoholic 

beverages and commonly 

abused prescription and 

over-the-counter medications. 

Further, students 

attended an assembly on 

Thursday, May 2, to learn 

about the process. 

The idea for implementing 

trained dog searches 

Canafax, Anita Menegnello 

Hargett, Mary Pat 

Buckley and Nancy Birnbaum 

Blake — who were 

behind the new plaque at 

New Trier High School. 

“We wanted their names 

known and their mission 

to continue for future 

generations,” Canafax said 

about the five New Trier 

founders at the reveal.

and how the women put 

it together, turn back to

feature on a North Shore 

woman, Molly Dillon, 

who recently spoke about 

her new book, “Yes She 

Can: 10 Stories of Hope 

& Change from Young 

Female Staffers of the 

Obama White House,” at 

The Book Stall in Winnetka. 

Dillon, who worked as 

a junior staffer from November 

2013 to January 

2017, was one of hundreds 

of young women working 

in the White House under 

the Obama Administration. 

Dillon and four of her 

came from a suggestion 

from a D39 parent. Scott 

Dawson is a father of a 

New Trier freshman and 

an incoming WJHS student. 

He introduced the 

idea to Superintendent Ray 

Lechner and the School 

Board last fall after an incident 

involving a WJHS 

student, who was found 

with loaded weapons off 

school grounds.

North Shore resident reflects on working in Obama administration 

Libby Elliot 


Molly Dillon vividly recalls 

the day she received 

an offer to join the Obama 

White House as a policy 

assistant for Urban Affairs, 

Justice & Opportunity on 

the President’s Domestic 

Policy Council. 

In her 20’s and fresh out 

of Georgetown’s McCourt 

School of Public Policy, 

Dillon immediately said 

yes, knowing little about 

the specifics of the job, but 

never doubting she could 

rise to the occasion. 

“I didn’t hesitate for even 

a second,” Dillon said on 

April 28 while visiting The 

Book Stall in Winnetka. 

Dillon, who worked as 

a junior staffer from November 

2013 to January 

2017, was one of hundreds 

of young women working 

in the White House under 

the Obama Administration. 

Together, they dramatically 

transformed what had long 

been considered an old 

boys’ club. 

“Every day we were 

striving towards a more 

perfect union,” said Dillon. 

The Highland Park native’s 

recollections of her 

experience in the Obama 

White House are the subject 

of the New York Times 

Best Seller “Yes She Can: 

10 Stories of Hope & 

Change from Young Female 

Staffers of the Obama 

White House,” released in 

March 2019 and celebrated 

at launch party at the Winnetka 

book store. 

Aimed at young adults 

aged 12 and up and written 

to inspire a new generation 

of female public servants, 

“Yes She Can” includes 

contributions from nine 

other former Obama White 

House staffers, as well as 

a forward by activist and 

actress, Yara Shihidi, star 

of the ABC sitcom, “Blackish.” 

A crowd of roughly 50 

supporters gathered at the 

Book Stall, listening intently 

as Dillon and four of her 

co-authors, Taylor Lustig 

(originally from Deerfield) 

Jenna Brayton, Eleanor 

Celeste and Nita Contreras 

shared humorous anecdotes 

and insights from 

their years in the White 

House, recalling long, 13- 

14 hour work days filled 

with pressure and responsibility, 

as well as wonder 

and excitement. 

“Being from Illinois, all I 

wanted to do in this world 

was work for President 

Obama,” said Jenna Brayton, 

a former resident of 

Crystal Lake, who worked 

her way up from campaign 

volunteer to Associate Director 

of Content for the 

Obama White House’s Office 

of Digital Strategy. 

Eleanor Celeste, a former 

Obama Policy Analyst for 

Medical and Forensic Sciences, 

recalled with a thrill 

the day she orchestrated 

White House screening of 

the film “Hidden Figures,” 

attended by Hollywood 

actors, real-life NASA astronauts 

and the First Lady 

herself. 

“The complex logistics 

of those events typically 

fell on junior staffers,” Celeste 

said. 

The young women also 

enjoyed small victories, 

like the day Celeste put 

a smile on the face of a 

young tourist by gifting 

him a handful of official 

Obama Candy. 

And then there were big 

wins, like the day Dillon 

and her fellow junior staffers 

jubilantly celebrated the 

legalization of same sex 

marriage. 

The contributors of “Yes She Can” sign books, April 

28, at The Book Stall in Winnetka. Photos by Rhonda 

Holcomb/22nd Century Media 

Highland Park native Molly Dillon (left) and Nita 

Contreras discuss their book “Yes She Can. 

“If we wrote a book of 

moments, it would be volumes,” 

Celeste said. 

With the Trump Administration 

firmly situated in 

the White House, Dillon 

and her co-contributors 

have all moved on to impressive 

new jobs in academia, 

public policy and 

business. They’ve leveraging 

their experience as junior 

staffers to new heights 

and are now inspiring a 

new crop of ambitious, 

confident young women to 

follow in their footsteps. 

“During our time at the 

White House, we were 

sleep-deprived and overworked,” 

write the “Yes 

She Can” co-authors in 

their book prologue. “… 

but we would do it again 

in a heartbeat. Because 

working in public service is 

worth it. Always worth it.”

Bruce Miller 

New Trier graduate 

Bruce Frank Miller, born 

May 5, 1926 to Frank 

Miller and Bertha Helleson 

Miller in Glencoe, 

died Feb. 26. Proud of his 

“North Shore” Chicago 

upbringing, Miller cherished 

memories of trains, 

malt shops, matinee Westerns 

and in particular New 

Trier High School. It was 

here that teachers helped 

him overcome a stuttering 

problem and freed him to 

succeed in a career of public 

speaking. 

After graduating in 1944, 

Miller joined the Navy and 

went through basic training 

in the Great Lakes before 

being sent to radar school 

in Virginia Beach, Va. He 

joined his Landing Ship 

Tank the 882 in Indiana, 

floated down the Mississippi, 

had a shakedown cruise 

in the Gulf of Mexico and 

then out through the Panama 

Canal to Pearl Harbor. 

From there he spent time 

running supplies around 

the South Pacific, Guam 

and the Philippines. He directed 

gunfire at kamikazes 

in Okinawa Bay, weathered 

storms that would plunge 

the entire bow of the ship 

under water and once 

saved the 882 from ramming 

another vessel ahead 

of them that had lost power 

in heavy fog. 

On the G.I. Bill, he studied 

Civil Engineering at 

the University School of 

Mines in Rolla, Mo. GO 

Miners! Graduate work 

at Columbia, Mo., gave 

him a Master’s Degree 

in Sanitary Engineering 

which sent him to Kansas 

City to work for Municipal 

Services and Carrier 

Air Conditioning. While 

attending church and serving 

as an usher, he met 

the love of his life, Geri 

who was from Oregon and 

visiting her parents. The 

two were soon married in 

March of 1955 and within 

a few years had moved to 

Omaha, Neb. m. 

David Samuels 

Grammy-winning percussionist 

and internationally-known 

jazz music 

educator David Samuels, 

a Winnetka native, died 

April 22, after a sevenyear 

battle with early-onset 

Alzheimer’s. He was 70 

years old. He has provided 

that his brain be donated to 

Yale University for its Alzheimer’s 

research. Samuels 

was born in Waukegan 

on Oct. 9, 1948 and raised 

in Winnetka, the youngest 

of three boy. At New 

Trier, he studied with Jake 

Jerger and performed with 

its jazz ensemble before 

graduating in 1966. After 

attending high school, he 

attended a Ludwig Symposium 

in 1967 where he 

was first exposed to mallet 

keyboard. He was mostly 

self-taught on his signature 

vibraphone. He went on to 

earn a degree in psychology 

from Roosevelt College 

before entering Boston’s 

Berklee School of Music. 

As a much-sought-after 

performer, Samuels played 

and recorded with, among 

many others, Spyro Gyra 

(1979-1993), Double Image, 

Frank Zappa, accompanied 

George Shearing 

and Frank Sinatra at Carnegie 

Hall, and with and 

his own Grammy-winning 

ensemble, Caribbean Jazz 

Project (CJP). CJP made 

eight recordings over the 

years, including the 2003 

Grammy-award-winning 

Best Latin Jazz recording 

(“The Gathering”) and, 

in 2008, won his second 

Grammy for Latin Jazz 

Album of the year. He and 

Friedman were inducted 

into the percussionists’ 

(PAS) Hall of Fame in 

2015, cited as an inspiration 

for generations of 

mallet players. Samuels is 

survived by his daughter, 

Sarah, also a musician, 

two older brothers, Stephen 

(Sharon) and Jeffrey 

Samuels, and his companion 

of many years, Janet 

Ross. A memorial service 

was held Saturday, May 4, 

at the Community Church 

of New York Unitarian 

Universalist.

Sweet Home Gelato serves up decorative 

scoops after recent company transition 

Erin Yarnall 

Contributing Editor 

After running three 

franchises of Frost Gelato 

throughout the Chicago 

area for more than seven 

years, Kurt Bruksch wanted 

a change. 

He ran locations in 

Highland Park and Naperville, 

with a seasonal spot 

on the Chicago Riverwalk, 

but as of last year, Bruksch 

broke ties with Frost Gelato 

and branched out on his 

own, rebranding all three 

locations as Sweet Home 

Gelato. 

One of the main reasons 

for the change was 

Bruksch had ideas that 

the Frost Gelato company 

wouldn’t allow him to do 

under their name. 

“We wanted to add some 

coffee drinks and some 

baked items,” Bruksch 

said. “We wanted to try 

some different things that 

Frost wouldn’t let us do.” 

In 2018, Bruksch closed 

down Frost Gelato and 

started preparations to 

launch his own store, 

which opened its doors in 

April. 

“It’s awesome. It’s liberating, 

actually,” Bruksch 

said. “Working under a 

franchise is a very difficult 

relationship, and it’s been 

nice to get away from that 

and try some new things 

on our own.” 

Being able to work 

on their own menu was 

something important to 

Bruksch, as he has to 

deal with the seasonality 

of owning a gelato shop, 

compared to the Frost Gelato 

headquarters, which 

are based in Arizona. 

“The weather plays a 

huge part in our business, 

whether it’s sunny out or 

cloudy out,” Bruksch said.

and Saturday 

“We have three months of 

the year to really do well 

— June, July and August. 

In those three months, we 

really have to concentrate 

on getting as many people 

through the store as possible.” 

In addition to the name 

and menu changes, Sweet 

Home Gelato has a different 

design as well. 

“We wanted to warm the 

space up,” Bruksch said. 

“When we used to walk in 

here, everything was white 

and was cool blues. In the 

winter time, you would 

walk in here and feel like 

you were walking into an 

igloo.” 

They warmed the location 

up by adding wood 

tones and a black wall. 

“It made me nervous 

because [black] usually 

makes things look smaller,” 

Bruksch said, “but it 

kind of created a tunnel 

effect.” 

In addition to the inshop 

purchases, Sweet 

Home Gelato also offers 

catering services. Catering 

packages are based on 75 

or 150 servings but can be 

customized. 

Last week, a group of 

22nd Century Media editors 

stopped by the redesigned 

shop to sample 

some of its revamped 

menu items. 

In opening his own gelato 

shop, Bruksch wanted 

Sweet Home Gelato’s 

large sundae ($6.95) 

has three scoops of 

gelato, each broken up 

by a cookie, topped with 

a gluten-free cookie, 

whipped cream, sprinkles 

and candy. Megan 

Bernard/22nd Century 

Media 

to add coffee drinks to the 

menu, so he had us sample 

Sweet Home Gelato’s cappuccino 

($3.85 for a large), 

which is served in large or 

small sizes. 

We also sampled the 

shop’s affogato ($5.70) — 

a coffee-based dessert with 

origins in Italy. The dish is 

a scoop of gelato, drowned 

in a shot of espresso. The 

cold gelato and hot coffee 

blend well as they complement 

each other in the 

glass. 

Sweet Home Gelato 

doesn’t disappoint with its 

gelato options. With more 

than 60 potential flavors, 

we were able to sample 

several of them in various 

forms. 

The shop’s large sundae 

($6.95) consists of three 

scoops of gelato, each broken 

up by a cookie, topped 

with a gluten-free cookie, 

whipped cream, sprinkles 

and candy.

At long last, Lake Forest comes out victorious. 

Scouts senior Ainsley Allan earned 

22nd Century Media Athlete of the Month 

honors, becoming the first LFHS athlete 

to win the award since April of 2016. Allan’s 

win ends a 35-month span without 

an AOTM from Lake Forest. 

A senior captain on the Lake Forest girls 

soccer team, Allan is committed to play 

soccer at the University of Wisconsin-La 

Crosse in the fall. The forward has led the 

Scouts to a 7-3-2 record so far and a two 

seed in the Antioch Sectional in IHSA’s 

Class 2A. 

Allan won this month’s voting with 564 

votes. New Trier girls soccer star Meghan 

Dwyer finished second and Glenbrook 

North baseball player Chris Karasinski 

placed third. 

Voting lasted from April 10-25. The 

Athlete of the Month contest for athletes 

selected in the month of April gets underway 

on May 10 and will end on May 25.

bringer, and the now assistant 

coach Rob Neilson, 

I’m glad those guys kept 

bringing me back and giving 

me opportunities to 

improve and get better and 

play with them.” 

Wieczorek and his Pepperdine 

teammates qualified 

for the NCAA Tournament 

by defeating the 

University of Southern 

California in the MPSF 

title game April 20, earning 

the conference’s automatic 

bid to the tournament. 

The title was the 

first in more than a decade 

for the Waves. The senior 

outside hitter was not only 

named to the all-tournament 

team, but also earned 

the Most Valuable Player 

award for the tournament 

as well. 

The Waves defeated 

Princeton in a national 

quarterfinal April 30 in 

Long Beach, Calif. thanks 

to Wieczorek’s 18 kills. 

The win set the Waves up 

with a battle against Long 

Beach State in the semifinals 

May 2. Unfortunately 

for the Chicago native, 

his career came to an end 

there, as Long Beach State 

took down Pepperdine in 

four sets. 

“It was awesome to beat 

a good SC team at home in 

front of a large crowd, a lot 

of fans and everything,” 

he said. “Every guy on our 

team and every coach was 

just fired up and ecstatic 

that all the hard work we 

put in over the year led to 

a championship and kind 

of paid off.” 

With his college career 

coming to an end, he has 

his post-Pepperdine sights 

set on playing professionally, 

hoping to play in Poland, 

where he’ll be able to 

play against the top competition 

in the world, while 

also being able to play in 

front of family as well.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Sydney Kunkler 

The New Trier senior will 

be a track and field athlete 

at Yale next year. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

There’s not much about 

me that I don’t like to share 

with others. Although, outside 

of track, I do really like 

to participate in the arts. 

I’ve been acting in all sorts 

of productions since I was 

in fifth grade. From community 

house productions, 

to improv sketch shows, to 

recitals, and choir revues, 

performance has always 

been a major part of my 

life. In addition, I like to 

compose music. This past 

summer, three of my cousins 

got married and I had 

the opportunity to perform 

songs that I had written 

specifically for each couple 

at each wedding. Music is 

such a big part of my life 

and it’s really nice to have 

something to immerse myself 

in during off season. 

What’s your greatest 

skill? 

I’d say my greatest skill 

is picking up teammates 

when they’re down. I used 

to beat myself up a lot when 

I didn’t do well in competitions. 

Eventually, I learned 

how to counteract those 

feelings of disappointment 

really well, so whenever 

I notice one of my teammates 

having a hard time, I 

check in on them. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

I would probably go 

back to the Maroon Bells. 

A couple of years ago, I 

went on an excursion with 

my camp to the Maroon 

Bells. The day was beyond 

perfect and the mountain 

and lake looked unlike 

anything I had seen before. 

Taking in the scenery—I 

don’t think I’ve ever experienced 

such an incredible 

feeling of wonder. 

What’s one item on 

your bucket list? 

I’ve really wanted to go 

skydiving for years now. I 

love anything that produces 

a thrill, especially things 

that include being outside 

and trying something new. 

If you could have one 

meal for the rest of 

your life, what would 

it be and from where 

or who would make it? 

I would have the you 

pick two from Panera 

with a roasted turkey and 

avocado BLT and chicken 

noodle soup. I go to Panera, 

on average, three times 

a week. The you pick two 

is always my go to, it’s filling, 

and also packs a lot of 

great nutrients. 

If you won the lottery, 

what would you do 

with the money? 

I don’t trust myself in 

making big decisions so 

the first thing I would do 

is hire someone to help me 

figure out how to spend it. 

I’d probably end up donating 

some of it to the brain 

cancer research foundation, 

spend some of it for travel, 

and spend the rest of it to 

fly out to wherever John 

Mulaney is performing his 

Photo submitted 

next comedy special. 

What’s been your 

favorite thing at New 

Trier? 

My favorite thing at New 

Trier is Lagniappe Potpourri 

— a student written and directed 

comedy show that 

has been a tradition at the 

school for decades. I’ve gotten 

the chance to perform 

in it the past two years and 

it’s always a blast to get up 

on stage and make people 

laugh. The energy during 

the performances is electric 

and unlike any other performance 

I’ve been in. 

if you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

If I could play any other 

sport, I would be swimming. 

Before high school, 

I’d been on a swim team 

since I was in third grade. 

I wanted to try something 

new when I got to high 

school, and if track hadn’t 

worked out for me, 

Who is your dream 

dinner guest? 

My dream dinner guest 

would be Lin-Manuel Miranda. 

I think that his life 

story is really unique and 

he would be great to talk to 

about the world of musical 

theater and the politics and 

long standing prejudices in 

the industry. 

What’s one song on 

your playlist?

Kaskey signs with Los Angeles Rams after draft 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

New Trier graduate Matt 

Kaskey, a Dartmouth College 

offensive lineman, 

had his NFL dream come 

true April 29. 

Kaskey, a Winnetka native, 

signed a free agent 

contract with the Los Angeles 

Rams, giving him a 

chance to attend minicamp 

and hopefully earn a spot 

on the Rams’ 53-man roster. 

“It wasn’t right after the 

draft (April 25-27), which 

was pretty unusual,” Kaskey 

said about the signing. 

“Usually teams fill up their 

free agent spots on the 

night of the third day of 

the draft. That didn’t happen 

for me. 

“I got a couple minicamp 

invitations from 

some teams and was just 

working out on Monday, 

came back to my phone, 

saw I had a couple missed 

calls, so I called my agent 

and he told me the Rams 

signed me. That was pretty 

exciting news, pretty unexpected, 

which made it 

even better.” 

There are two types of 

undrafted free agents: priority 

undrafted free agents 

and regular undrafted free 

agents. Priority UDFA’s 

are the ones usually signed 

right after the draft and 

those who have multiple 

options on which team to 

choose from. A regular 

undrafted free agent usually 

means that one team 

is looking to sign a player. 

“It was super disappointing 

to not get a call right 

after the draft,” he said. “I 

was sitting there watching 

the last few rounds and then 

waiting by the phone after 

it drafted. I was kind of expecting 

to get a call and not 

getting one put me down in 

the dumps for a bit. 

“It motivated me more.” 

Along with the Rams, 

the Bills, Giants and Chargers 

showed interest in the 

6-foot-7-inch, 325-pound 

lineman. 

Rams training camp 

runs from July 25-Aug. 15 

in Irvine, Calif. If Kaskey 

impresses during training 

camp this summer, his 

next hopes lie in making 

the team there. He’ll go 

down to Los Angeles on 

May 13 to take part in a 

rookie development program, 

which will last about 

seven weeks and then get 

ready for training camp. 

“Everyone knows that 

the NFL is a league where 

you can get cut at any 

time,” he said. “I’ll be 

with them through training 

camp, barring any 

missteps, I’m hoping to 

be there until they have to 

make final decisions on the 

53-man roster.” 

The Rams are coming 

off of a 13-3 season that 

saw them make it to the 

Super Bowl, but fell just 

short against the New 

England Patriots. With 

only a handful of offensive 

linemen returning and the 

Rams only having drafted 

two linemen, there’s a 

chance that Kaskey — if 

he impresses at camp — 

can make the defending 

NFC champions roster. 

“It’s super exciting to be 

Dartmouth College lineman Matt Kaskey, a New Trier 

graduate, signed with the Los Angeles Rams after the 

NFL Draft. Gil Talbot/Dartmouth College 

going there because obviously 

they have a good 

thing going down there in 

L.A.,” Kaskey said. “They 

know what they’re doing. 

They’ve got a good offense, 

a good quarterback, 

good running back, offensive 

line, everything. 

“What I’m most excited 

about is the experience 

of the offensive line. The 

tackles are Andrew Whitworth 

and Rob Havenstein 

and those guys are 

top tier offensive tackles 

who have been good for 

a long time. My favorite 

part about going to the 

Rams is being able to pick 

their brains and see what 

can workout there.” 

Loyola grad Wieczorek wins second MPSF Player of the Year award 


Sports Editor 

Loyola graduate David 

Wieczorek entered the record 

books April 11 when 

he earned his second consecutive 

Mountain Pacific 

Sports Federation Men’s 

Volleyball Player of the 

Year award, becoming 

only the fourth person 

in MPSF history to ever 

achieve such a feat. 

“It’s kind of a dream 

come true,” he said. “You 

sit at home as a little kid 

or in high school, thinking 

about, ‘Hey I’m going 

to go play at Pepperdine, 

where so many legends 

and Olympians played, 

I would like to be just 

as half as good as those 

guys.’ 

“To have your name 

mentioned in the same 

sentence is awesome. It’s 

really surreal to be able 

to actually have a dream 

like that come true. It feels 

awesome, I think I put in 

a lot of hard work and effort 

and I’m just thankful 

for that opportunity, that 

the coaches voted and selected 

me there.” 

Along with winning the 

award, Wieczorek earned 

his third consecutive 

MPSF’s First Team All- 

Conference nod as well. 

The one thing that has 

been true about the Chicago 

native is that he’s 

stayed consistent yearin-and-year-out. 

The past 

three years, he’s had at 

least 296 kills and has 

hit .349 or better each of 

those seasons as well. It 

hasn’t always been easy, 

though, especially since 

many teams have been 

keying in on him the past 

two years, 

“I think it’s a lot of 

drive and determination. 

I love to play the game,” 

Wieczorek said, “I love 

to get better as well, they 

go hand in hand. I think 

coming every year, each 

and every year, and knowing, 

‘Hey what can I get 

better at this year? What 

can I make a change in?’ 

That, sometimes, is how 

I get better each year and 

climb, just putting in the 

hours with the coach and 

staff and then watching 

video on all the grinding 

to get better. 

“I just love to compete, 

so, to really come out each 

year and have the opportunity 

to compete and do the 

thing I love, I mean, that’s 

what it boils down to. It’s 

more of, any day I get to 

play volleyball is a good 

day and I’m gonna give 

it 110, 120 percent while 

I’m out there and just 

keep getting better. And if 

someone tries to stop me, 

I’ll keep getting better to 

make sure they don’t.” 

For the last couple summers, 

Wieczorek’s had the 

opportunity to play with 

the U.S. Men’s National 

Team during the summer, 

training and playing 

against some of the best 

players in the world. 

Being able to play in 

that gym with those players 

has also been something 

that Wieczorek mentioned 

has been a dream 

come true and it’s been a 

valuable experience for 

him, especially being one 

of the youngest players in 

the gym. He’s been able 

to take what he’s learned 

there and help him improve 

his game at the collegiate 

level. 

“I think I always thought

I could do it, and it was a 

matter of just getting an 

opportunity,” he said. “As 

I progressed each summer, 

I started playing with 

higher and higher talent. 

Once I scrimmaged and 

played with the senior 

guys, and competed hard 

and played well against 

those guys, it was a huge 

confident booster.

girls water polo 

New Trier wins conference title in overtime 

David Jaffe 


Kasey Umlauf scores one of her six goals in the Central 

Suburban League championship game Saturday, May 4, 

in Glenview. Scott Margolin/22nd Century Media 

During the Central Suburban 

League conference 

championship match between 

the New Trier and 

Evanston girls water polo 

teams, it looked like the 

winner was going to be determined 

by which defense 

could hold the longest as 

both teams stifled each 

other’s offense throughout 

the game. 

But once it got to overtime, 

New Trier’s Kasey 

Umlauf was unwilling to 

let her team lose. 

After the Wildkits struck 

first in the extra session, 

Umlauf scored three of her 

six goals in the two overtimes 

as the Trevians outlasted 

Evanston 10-8. 

“In a game like this, it 

comes down to who wants 

it more,” Umlauf said. “I 

had had some bad shots 

throughout the game and 

some plays I would have 

liked back. But I had to 

just shake it off and focus 

on helping the team win.” 

“It was a gut check for 

us,” New Trier coach Matt 

Wendt said. “Kasey stepped 

up getting a big second-effort 

goal for us. This wasn’t 

easy or the most ideal way 

to win but we did a good job 

finding a way to overcome 

their defense and execute 

enough plays.” 

Umlauf tied the game 

8-8 with 1 minute, 30 seconds 

left in the first overtime. 

She then gave the 

Trevians a 9-8 lead on a 

penalty shot with 18 seconds 

remaining in the first 

extra session. She then 

added another goal just 

over a minute into the second 

overtime. 

New Trier came back 

from trailing 3-1 after the 

first period getting two 

goals from Emily McKenzie 

and goals by Umlauf 

and Carly Jennings 

to tie it at 5-5 at the half. 

The Evanston defense was 

physical with the Trevians 

all game and it was not an 

easy task for New Trier to 

score. 

“We were able to open 

up certain areas of the water 

with how we drove the 

ball,” Umlauf said. “That 

kind of gave our shooters 

some better opportunities 

and eventually we started 

to execute our offense better 

than we had earlier in 

the game.” 

Leah Caywood put New 

Trier up 7-6 with 2:30 left 

in regulation but Evanston 

was able to tie it with just 

over a minute left. 

However, it was ultimately 

the Trevians’ defense 

that put them in 

a position to win. They 

shut down Evanston for 

a majority of the second 

half, holding the Wildkits 

scoreless in the third and 

only giving up three goals 

in the second half and two 

overtimes. 

“We tried to focus on 

limiting ejections,” Umlauf 

said. “I think we knew 

what to expect as far as 

how they would try to 

draw them and what would 

end up in the refs calling 

them. We were confident 

in how we were defending 

if we could make sure we 

weren’t getting too many 

ejections.” 

“I actually do think an 

ejection ended up being 

the defining play,” Wendt 

said. “Emily, our top defender, 

got drawn into 

a double ejection with 

number 4, one of their top 

players. She got grabbed 

and they ended up doing 

a somersault in the water. 

But it ultimately ended up 

helping us out as that got 

called against one of their 

better players. 

“Give Evanston credit, 

though. They’ve improved 

a lot from the last time we 

played them and have become 

a very good team. 

We had to earn it in order 

to be able to beat them.” 

New Trier now hopes 

they can ride the momentum 

from this win into a 

successful postseason. 

“There’s a good chance 

we’ll end up having to 

face Evanston again in the 

playoffs,” Umlauf said. 

“There’s a lot we can be 

proud of as far as how we 

played and how we defended. 

But we still have a 

lot we will need to work on 

as well in order to win the 

sectional.”

GBS beats Trevs in sudden-death thriller 

David Jaffe 


The Central Suburban 

League conference championship 

match between 

Glenbrook South and the 

visiting New Trier boys 

water polo team was a battle 

from start to finish. 

Any time either team 

would score a goal or take 

the opposing team’s best 

shot, the other would find 

a way to respond and stay 

in the game. 

The result was a suddendeath 

overtime classic, 

as the sudden death portion 

went into the third 

overtime. The Titans’ John 

Dales put the finishing 

touch on a GBS win as he 

scored 1 minute, 30 seconds 

into the sudden death 

period to deliver a 9-8 win. 

NORTH SHORE 

The two teams were 

evenly matched throughout 

the entire contest. The 

Trevians took their biggest 

advantage at 5-3 when 

Matt Ghiselli scored with 

12 seconds left in the third 

period. Danni Zhukov added 

to the lead 1:30 into the 

fourth. But the Titans answered 

with three straight 

goals by Steven Dales to 

put GBS ahead 6-5, the 

third coming on a penalty 

shot with two minutes left 

in regulation. New Trier’s 

Will Clark sent it into 

overtime, however, with 

just 52 seconds remaining. 

Both teams scored once 

in the first overtime as Steven 

Dales’ fourth goal put 

GBS up 7-6. But the Trevs’ 

Bo Barrett responded with 

1:30 remaining. Once 

again each struck once this

time in the second extra

Schulte tipped in a shot 

for the Titans, followed by 

Ghiselli’s third goal of the 

game for New Trier. 

Youngwon Kim and 

Matt Kirby also had goals 

for the Trevians. 

“Our seniors stepped up 

and our juniors are young 

and not as experienced but 

they have grown, as has 

the whole team throughout 

the season,” New Trier 

coach David Rafferty- 

Flatter said. “We continued 

to take some very big 

steps today and we kept 

fighting. I made a mistake, 

calling a timeout we didn’t 

have that ultimately led to 

a goal for them. But this 

was a great game for us to 

be a part of and I’m happy 

with the effort we gave.”

Loyola takes down state champs with big second half 


Sports Editor 

Hinsdale Central was 

the thorn in the side of 

Loyola’s girls lacrosse 

team last season, having 

beaten the Ramblers in the 

state semifinals, ending the 

Ramblers’ nine-year run as 

state champions. 

Loyola was hoping to 

get rid of that thorn when 

the Red Devils came to 

Glenview for a nonconference 

game May 1. After 

getting off to a slow start, 

the Ramblers did just that, 

defeating the defending 

state champions 18-13. 

“I think we’d like to 

think it wasn’t on our 

minds, but I think when 

you lose a game like that, 

it always sticks with you,” 

Loyola’s Ellie Lazzaretto 

said. “Even if you’re not 

thinking about it, you feel 

it. That feeling always 

sticks with you, but we put 

together a near full 50 minutes 

and got the job done.” 

After getting off to a 1-0 

start thanks to a Brynn Holohan 

goal a little short of 

two minutes into the game, 

Hinsdale Central rattled 

off four consecutive goals, 

taking a 4-1 lead with 14 

minutes, 44 seconds to go 

in the half. 

That’s when Loyola 

coach John Dwyer called 

timeout to talk to his girls 

and hopefully right the 

ship. 

“We talked about focusing 

on the team in the 

white, that we can’t control 

what they do,” Lazzaretto 

said. “Everything 

that we were doing wrong 

were fixable things. It was 

just a matter of getting out 

of our heads and playing 

the game we love. Getting 

back to the basics, slowing 

it down, making it slide 

right.” 

The words sunk in, as 

Loyola went on a 4-1 run, 

led by Lazzaretto’s first 

two goals, to tie the game 

at five, with just over eight 

minutes in the half. 

Hinsdale Central responding 

by scoring the 

next two goals but that’s 

when Loyola’s Annabelle 

Burke took over. 

The junior would score 

five unanswered goals 

(the final two in the first 

half and the first three in 

the second) and take over 

IT’S MOTHER’S 

DAY...

IN TIMEOUT. 

in the draw circle and the 

Ramblers were up 10-7 

1:13 into the second half. 

Burke took over on the 

draw after she scored a 

free-position goal with 

1:10 left in the half and 

everything flipped. Before 

the switch, the Red Devils 

had won 8-of-13 draws. 

“We weren’t missing the 

draws by much, but when 

someone is winning draws 

to themselves, we need to 

make adjustments,” Dwyer 

said. “I knew it would 

be a good changeup and it 

worked out pretty good. We 

just had to find the hot hand 

and I think we found it.” 

The Red Devils would 

get the deficit to 10-9, but 

the Ramblers would go on 

to score eight of the next 

10 goals en route to the 

win. 

In addition to Burke and 

Lazzaretto, Loyola goalie 

Annie Enritetto had a 

monster game in goal. 

After giving up seven 

goals in the first half, Enrietto 

stood tall in goal, 

keeping the high-scoring 

visitors off the board. 

“In the second half, I really 

just focused on what I 

Loyola’s Annabelle Burke picks up a ground ball May 1 against Hinsdale Central in 

Glenview. Michael Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media 

can do and the rest of the 

team stepped up to make 

every play count,” she 

said. “After the first half, 

I think I was unsatisfied, 

kinda angry and wanted to 

bring it out in the second 

half and do the best I can 

to bring our team back.” 

Enrietto finished with 13 

saves and Dwyer says this 

is just a continuation of her 

recent stellar play after she 

stepped up big in games 

against New Albany and 

Upper Arlington, both of 

Ohio, in late April. 

“She’s had a few games 

like that for us, where 

she’s been the difference, 

especially a team like this 

that can score. That’s a 

very good team,” he said. 

“It gives these kids a big 

lift when they see saves 

like that. She kept standing 

on her head and the kids 

get a big lift when they see 

that.” 

Lazzaretto and Maley 

Starr had four goals apiece, 

in addition to Burke’s five. 

Maggie Gorman scored 

two goals, while Holohan, 

Sophia Rucker and Kelsey 

Koch each had a goal.

Gary Larsen 


This is the time of year 

when soccer teams are 

striving to find their edge, 

that collective chip on 

their shoulder needed with 

the postseason looming. 

New Trier coach Jim 

Burnside has a perfect example 

he can point to. 

“Lily Conley,” Burnside 

said. “She’s just a warrior. 

That’s the best way to put 

it. “She has the heart of a 

warrior in a five-foot-four 

kid who just loves her 

teammates. She’s willing 

to do any and everything 

for the team.” 

The Trevians’ senior 

midfielder admits that with 

the clock ticking on her 

high school career, she’s 

playing harder than ever. 

“I’ve been playing for 

four years and this is my 

last year,” Conley said. 

“Realizing it’s coming 

to an end soon makes me 

want to go out playing as 

hard as I can and as tough 

as I can.” 

That spirit of competition 

carried New Trier to 

a 2-0 win over host Evanston, 

in a Central Suburban 

League South game on 

May 1. The win gave New 

Trier the CSL South title. 

Conley assisted on the 

second of Emma Weaver’s 

two goals in the win. 

Weaver scored her 21st 

goal at 14 minutes on a 

shot from 22 yards that 

New Trier’s Lily Conley looks to bring the ball up 

the field against Evanston May 1 in Evanston. Gary 

Larsen/22nd Century Media 

skipped off the underside 

of the crossbar on its path 

to the back netting. 

Conley headed a ball 

forward to the left side at 

55 minutes of the second 

half, and Weaver’s leftfooted 

shot snuck inside 

the far post for her 22nd 

goal of the year. 

Winning balls at midfield 

and distributing them 

is Conley’s forte, and she’s 

happy to see her side’s improvement 

in challenging 

for fifty-fifty balls. 

“We used to be timid 

and we’d maybe just put 

a foot in there,” Conley 

said. “Now we’re running 

through the ball with no 

fear and that’s made us 

much better in our attack.” 

Weaver agreed that the 

Trevians’ second-half play 

against Evanston was truer 

to the edge that’s required 

down a season’s stretch. 

“We had a lot of energy 

coming out in the second 

half. It didn’t show as 

much in the first half but it 

did in the second,” Weaver 

said. “Burnside told us we 

needed to have a chip on 

our shoulder and we wanted 

it in the second half.” 

New Trier keeper Courtney 

Charchut was in net 

for the team’s 11th shutout 

of the season. Burnside applauded 

the play of central 

defenders Heidi Bianucci 

and Josie Crumley for 

their role in Wednesday’s 

win, along with the midfield 

play of Kate Sawdey. 

“Evanston has some 

dangerous kids that can 

dribble the ball and create 

chances, and I thought 

Josie and Heidi organized 

really well in the back,” 

Burnside said. 

The Trevians’ veteran 

coach was also pleased 

with striker Alex Wirth 

on a night when Evanston 

made things difficult to 

find attacking cohesion.

New Trier qualifies four for state 


Sports Editor 

For the second consecutive 

season, New Trier is 

bringing all of its entries to 

the state meet. 

After qualifying two 

entries in both singles and 

doubles last season, the 

Trevians did the same this 

year, coincidentally in the 

same way. New Trier, led 

by the senior duo of Tess 

Fallon and Holly Fessler, 

took the top two spots in 

the doubles competition 

and the team also had the 

third-and fourth-place finishers 

in singles play. 

In the process, the Trevians 

picked up their 13th 

consecutive sectional title 

Thursday, May 2, by racking 

up 15.5 points. 

Fallon and Fessler, the 

top seed in the doubles 

bracket, won their third 

consecutive sectional title, 

sweeping through their 

three matches, culminating 

with a 21-16, 21-13 win 

over their doubles teammates 

Naomi Aisen and 

Kayla Banh. 

“Every time it happens 

(the sectional), we’re excited 

but it’s still a nervewracking 

day for us, so 

having two titles under our 

belt, it didn’t really make 

us feel any better today,” 

Fessler said. 

“Our first year was probably 

the hardest because 

we were coming from 

being unseeded. We just 

didn’t have expectations, 

so we were able to play 

our best.” 

“Each year presents its 

own difficulties,” Fallon 

said. “Sophomore year, we 

had to come from behind, 

last year and this year I 

thought it was a little more 

difficult because you had 

those expectations set already. 

To feel like you 

have to meet them is difficult.” 

The win also marked 

the second season the two 

have defeated their teammates 

in the title match, including 

Aisen for the second 

consecutive season. 

Also for the second 

consecutive season, Lily 

Christopher will be making 

a trip to Eastern Illinois 

University after taking 

third in the sectional after 

winning by forfeit over 

teammate Mia Gabelev. 

Christopher breezed 

through her first two 

matches before dropping a 

semifinal match to an opponent 

from Elk Grove. 

She rebounded to beat 

Aneri Shah of Warren and 

then the win over Gabelev. 

After dropping her 

second-round match to 

eventual sectional champion 

Kathleen Jin of Libertyville, 

Gabelev won 

her next three consolation 

matches before forfeiting 

to Christopher. Her consolation 

semifinal match was 

paused for a medical timeout 

in the second game, 

but the junior recovered to 

beat her opponent.
