‘It’s just such a talented bunch’ 

GBN math team 

three-peats as 

state champs 

Martin Carlino, Editor 

Glenbrook North’s math 

team has done it again. 

The highly skilled group 

of GBN students made history 

on May 4, delivering 

another championship performance 

to win their third 

straight state title from 

the Illinois Council of 

Teachers of Mathematics. 

During the history-making 

trip to the state final, 

the Spartans finished first 

overall as a team, and also 

took home first place in 

seven of 11 events. For a 

state-record 39th-straight 

year, the team qualified 

its entire lineup for the 

state final, with 30 North 

students competing in this 

year’s tournament. This 

year’s title was GBN’s 

fourth, with previous 

championships coming in 

2001, 2017 and 2018. 

“It’s really exciting — 

I’m so happy for the kids,” 

said Steve Goodman, head 

coach of the GBN math 

team. “I have to stop and 

take a step back to just remember 

how lucky I am 

to work with this group. 

It’s just such a talented 

bunch.” 

At the individual level, 

the Spartans had top finishers 

across multiple grade 

levels and state championship 

events. Senior Siva 

Muthupalaniappan and 

sophomore Brendan Biernacki 

each repeated as the 

individual state champion 

for their grade level, with 

Muthupalaniappan earning 

the title in precalculus 

A group of graduating Glenbrook North seniors on the school’s math team gather

Math Contest. Photo Submitted 

and Biernacki winning in 

geometry. 

Aside from the seven 

first-place finishes, GBN 

finished top-five in five additional 

events. 

Goodman said the 

team’s group of seniors 

is “the deepest class that 

he’s ever had,” and from 

the start, he could tell it 

was a special group of 

students. 

“I don’t want to let them 

go ... it’s such a pleasure 

to work with them both in 

the classroom and during 

practices,” he said. 

In addition to the seniors, 

students at each 

grade level won events at 

the tournament, an imperative 

factor in winning a 

team state championship. 

Each grade level works 

with GBN educators who 

are also coaches on the 

team. Doing so is a key to 

the group’s success. 

“I depend so much on 

my wonderful assistant 

coaches,” Goodman said. 

“We wouldn’t have the 

success we do without 

their hard work. Brad Benson, 

Mike Campbell, John 

Krickl and Mark Lewis put 

in countless hours working 

with these kids, and our 

math department supervisor, 

Maria Vasilopoulos, 

also came with us downstate. 

I am so fortunate to 

be able to work with each 

of them.” 

During an interview 

with The Tower, members 

of the GBN math team said 

the group’s overall team 

chemistry has been key 

in winning three consecutive 

titles. Senior Britney 

Sun described the group 

as a family, and a group 

that lifts each other up and 

encourages everyone to do 

their best. 

The graduating seniors 

said ending their math 

team careers with state titles 

is a proud accomplishment 

and their time on the 

math team is something 

they’ll all cherish. 

Outside of the team, 

many students volunteer at 

their junior high schools’ 

math programs, work with 

local educational nonprofits 

and offer math sessions 

at the Northbrook Public 

Library. 

“It just amazes me how 

wonderful these kids are,” 

Goodman said.

Northbrook Plan Commission 

Developers make final adjustments to Northbrook Court proposal 

Commissioners 

weigh changes 

before scheduled 

May 21 vote 

Neil Milbert 

Freelance Reporter 

The Northbrook Plan 

Commission concluded its 

prolonged hearings on the 

proposed redevelopment of 

Northbrook Court during 

its Tuesday, May 7 regular 

meeting, and directed Village 

staff to prepare a resolution 

on the proposal that 

has as its key component 

luxury apartments targeting 

active adults, young professionals 

and empty nesters. 

“Next meeting on May 

21 we will vote either up 

or down,” Commission 

Chair Marcia Franklin said 

after her resolution motion 

passed unanimously, concluding 

the public hearings 

that began on March 

5 and continued on April 

4. “There will be no public 

comment at that time.” 

Following the Tuesday, 

May 21 vote, the redevelopment 

proposal and the 

Plan Commission’s recommendation 

will be submitted 

to the Village Board of 

Trustees for further deliberation 

and a final decision 

on the fate of a property 

that currently produces 25 

percent of the village’s tax 

revenue. 

The applicants are 

Northbrook Anchor Acquisition, 

LLC — which is a 

joint venture of Brookfield 

Properties and Ryan Companies 

— and Westcoast 

Estates, owner of the land 

where the shopping center 

that dates back to 1976 is 

located. 

Following each of the 

prior hearings, in response 

The Northbrook Plan Commission is scheduled to vote on a Northbrook Court 

redevelopment proposal at its Tuesday, May 21 meeting. Included in the proposal is 

the construction of a 315-unit luxury apartment building where Macy’s now stands. 

Design rendering courtesy of Brookfield Properties. 

to strong objections from 

residents of the neighborhood, 

the board asked the 

applicants to make modifications. 

Mainly their 

complaints concerned the 

proximity of the apartment 

building to residences, the 

height of the building and 

the inclusion of a grocery 

store in the redevelopment 

package. 

At the May 7 meeting, 

members of the commission 

heard presentations 

from Michaela 

Kohlstedt, Northbrook’s 

deputy director of development 

and planning service, 

and the would-be developers 

Brookfield Properties 

Senior Vice-President 

Adam Tritt and Ryan Company 

Senior Vice-President 

Dan Walsh, and listened 

to ongoing concerns of 

neighborhood residents. 

Franklin, Steve Elisco, 

Johannah Hebl, Mark De- 

Bartolo and Norm Jacobs 

seemed inclined to vote in 

favor. Jennifer Lawrence, 

Jeremy Melnick and Dan 

Pepoon still had some 

misgivings but weren’t 

adamant. 

Speaking before a standing-room-only 

crowd of 

more than 70 people that 

came to the hearing, Tritt 

and Ryan addressed the 

third revision modifications 

in the proposed project that 

entails the construction of a 

315-unit luxury apartment 

building where Macy’s 

now stands. 

The developers also consider 

the ground level and a 

grand lawn connecting the 

development with the existing 

mall where Lord and 

Taylor and Nieman Marcus 

department stores are located 

to be integral parts of the 

makeover. 

“The lawn is the pivotal 

point,” Tritt said. “It’s 

important to us that the 

new and existing work 

together.” 

Among the other major 

components in the redevelopment 

are parking for 

apartment residents and 

guests, a restaurant, a fitness 

center, dance studios, 

amusement and recreation 

facilities and a car 

dealership. 

Kohlstedt provided a detailed 

rundown of the modifications 

submitted by the 

developers. 

They call for the residential 

building to be shifted 

28 feet to the north to increase 

the setback; the accompanying 

grocery store 

to be shifted to the north; 

residential units to be shifted 

to a new north wing; the 

parking/drop off area to be 

reconfigured to accommodate 

these shifts; and grading 

to be modified to cover 

the parking podium to the 

south with landscaping to 

be added to this area. 

Walsh and Ryan elaborated 

on the updates, adjustments 

and refinements. 

“We’re moving mass 

from the upper floors,” 

Ryan said. “The top floors 

are set back further. The 

height of the southernmost 

façade is now 52 feet. The 

berm area will fully cover 

parking area and we add 

landscaping to soften (the 

impact).” 

Tritt talked about the 

Northbrook Court redevelopment 

vision, grocery 

market studies, retail development 

use studies, alternative 

master plan considerations 

and the proposed 

site plan alterations. 

A market analysis conducted 

by the shopping 

center consultant, Melaniphy 

& Associates, LLC, 

showed that only 2 percent 

of grocery sales are e-commerce, 

a stark contrast with 

the sale of merchandise 

via the Internet outlets and 

Amazon. 

According to Tritt, grocery 

sales in the Northbrook 

area total $140 million 

but 17.4 percent of 

these sales are outside the 

area and predicted that a 

Northbrook Court grocery 

store would not only 

significantly reduce this 

percentage but also that 20 

percent of the new grocery 

volume would come from 

outside the area. 

He said in the last nine 

years his firm has added 15 

grocery store locations in 

11 states and 11 additional 

stores, including the one in 

Northbrook Court, are in 

the development stage in 

six states. 

Tritt cited the success of 

the firm’s mall redevelopment 

ventures in Maryland, 

Massachusetts and 

the Oakbrook Center in the 

western suburbs. 

14 locals continue to 

express concern 

Following the presentations, 

15 members of the 

audience addressed the 

Plan Commission. Despite 

the modifications, 

all but one expressed their 

dissatisfaction. 

“Moving the building 28 

feet is still not acceptable to 

residents,” said Ken Smith, 

president of the Glenbrook 

Countryside Property 

Owners Association. “We 

had a neighborhood meeting 

and the main thrust of 

comments were about the 

building. Everyone was 

against it. Where it is right 

now is not viable for us. 

The top floor is too close 

to backyards, too close and 

too high. 

“We’re not against this 

project at all. We’re for it. 

It’s just not acceptable right 

now.” 

Mark Lenz, an attorney 

representing landowners 

south of the complex, said 

the apartment building will 

impact privacy and may 

impact property values. 

Janice Gould, president 

of the Williamsburg Square 

Homeowners Association, 

asked: “Who will help us 

get in and out when our 

roads are blocked (because 

of traffic created by the 

apartment residents)?” 

“It would be nice to 

redo Northbrook Court 

and redevelop Lord and 

Taylor instead of doing it 

piecemeal,” suggested Jim 

Beckett, who has put on 

hold his plans of selling his 

home. “We are concerned 

with the loss of property 

value because the development 

is too close and too 

high. We can do better.” 

“There is no compelling 

evidence that the grocery 

store cannot go to the 

south side of the building,” 

argued Leonard Ginzbeg. 

Ken Slepicka, a 20-year 

Northbrook resident who 

spent four years as a Park 

Board Commissioner, 

was the lone proponent to 

address the Commission. 

“Northbrook Court needs 

a redesign,” he said. “Oakbrook 

Center is a thriving 

complex. We need that kind 

of complex here. If we lose 

Northbrook Court, taxes 

will go up 25 percent.”

Northbrook Court’s Macy’s to close — 

despite outcome of redevelopment proposal 

Frankie 

The Volpe Family, of Northbrook 

Frankie is a 7-year-old French 

Bulldog full of personality. 

While he’s predominately a 

couch potato, some of his 

other favorite pastimes include 

serving watch to protect the 

neighborhood from small wildlife, going for long 

walks around the block and standing in front of the 

refrigerator until someone opens it up to give him 

a carrot treat. He also enjoys hanging out with his 

best friend, Jackson the Beagle. Together, the two 

of them co-conspire to catch chipmunks by combining 

their keen sense of smell and ability to dig. 

Thankfully, they have had no success to date.

Martin Carlino, Editor 

After 24 years as one 

of Northbrook Court’s anchor 

stores, Macy’s will 

officially close its doors in 

the coming weeks, according 

to a statement from the 

department store company 

sent to The Tower. 

Carolyn Ng Cohen, a 

spokeswoman for Macy’s, 

told The Tower the store 

will run for approximately 

8-12 more weeks before 

closure. 

Signage indicating 

a clearance sale and 

store closure was posted 

throughout the store in 

early May, according to 

Ng Cohen. 

Macy’s officials previously 

shared the information 

with its colleagues. 

Per Ng Cohen, “regular, 

non-seasonal employees 

who we are unable to place 

at Macy’s will be eligible 

for severance, including 

outplacement resources.” 

The store’s closure 

comes amid ongoing discussions 

in the Village of 

Northbrook for a massive 

proposed redevelopment 

of Northbrook Court. 

The potential developers 

are Northbrook Anchor 

Acquisition, LLC — 

which is a joint venture of 

Brookfield Properties and 

Ryan Companies — and 

Westcoast Estates, owner 

of the land where the shopping 

center is located. 

Brookfield Properties 

purchased Northbrook 

Court’s Macy’s store in 

early 2018 for $25 million, 

as reported by The Tower. 

Following the sale, Macy’s 

leased back the store to remain 

in operation. 

Included in the potential 

development is the 

construction of a 315-unit 

luxury apartment building 

where Macy’s now stands. 

Among other elements 

in the proposal are parking 

for apartment residents 

and guests, a restaurant, a 

fitness center, dance studios, 

amusement and recreation 

facilities and a car 

dealership. 

The Northbrook Plan 

Northbrook Court’s Macy’s store will close its doors in 

the coming weeks after 24 years as one of the mall’s 

anchor stores. Martin Carlino/22nd Century Media 

Commission concluded its 

months-long hearings on 

the proposed redevelopment 

during its Tuesday, 

May 7 meeting. Commissioners 

have yet to offer 

their official approval — 

or disapproval — of the 

proposal yet. 

The Commission is expected 

to vote at its Tuesday, 

May 21 meeting. 

Once the Commission delivers 

a ruling, it will make 

its way to Northbrook’s 

Village Board. 

But regardless of if the 

redevelopment passes, the 

store will still close. 

“Brookfield’s plans for 

redevelopment of the mall 

will impact the Macy’s 

Northbrook store. ... The 

decision to close stores 

is always a difficult one, 

but Macy’s is delighted 

to have served the Northbrook 

community over 

the past 24 years,” the 

statement reads in part. 

court 

From Page 6 

whole of the village, not 

just a small part,” Slepicka 

urged the commissioners. 

“We can’t let perfect get in 

the way of good enough. 

I think the project as put 

forward is good enough.” 

The commissioners who 

supported the project were 

of the same opinion. 

“The developer has done 

what we asked,” Elisco 

said. “Reducing the height 

from 80 feet to 52 feet satisfied 

the bulk and mass concerns 

I had. It is a drastic 

reduction of the mass at the 

setback area. I believe this 

is a good compromise.” 

Comments made 

by remaining Plan 

Commissioners 

Jacobs: “The petitioner 

came back with the information 

we asked for and 

the changes we asked for. 

I believe they’ve made a 

good effort.” 

DeBartolo: “We’re here 

to advise and advocate for 

the community as a whole. 

They can’t go anywhere to 

the north, west and south.” 

Hebl: “I’m satisfied. 

It’s not a perfect idea. I 

think it’s a good idea. I do 

support this project.” 

Lawrence was the most 

resistant of the commissioners 

with misgivings. 

“I hope the grocery 

store doesn’t come back to 

haunt the project,” she said. 

“From knowing what’s 

working in the town with 

grocery stores it’s hard to 

bless the project. I feel it’s 

very close.” 

Melnick and Pepoon 

seemed on the verge of becoming 

proponents. 

“I feel this project is 

necessary for Northbrook; 

if they change it a little 

bit I’m all for it,” Melnick 

said. 

“The most important 

thing is Northbrook Court 

doesn’t go down,” Pepoon 

said. “The market research I 

read is that a grocery store is 

one of the best anchors you 

can have in a development. 

“The apartment building 

is in the right place; it’s just 

one story too high. Reduce 

the height a little bit more. 

I’d like to see more of a 

tweak.” 

Franklin had the last 

word. 

“We’ve heard your concerns,” 

the chair told the 

mall’s neighbors. “We 

made sure the developer 

did as well. Good, not 

perfect, is an accurate description. 

I think we’ve 

gone about as far as we 

could. We’ve pretty much 

accomplished as much as 

we can accomplish.”

Westmoor library goes beyond reading books 

Chris Pullam 


Refreshing the library 

options at Westmoor 

School in Northbrook 

could’ve been a pretty 

simple process. Then 

again, “simple” would’ve 

meant wasting a valuable 

learning experience. 

During the 2018-2019 

school year, Westmoor 

librarian Tara LaCerra 

launched Northbrook 

School District 28’s firstever 

Library Advisory 

Committee, made up of 

12 students in grades 

3–5, to develop leadership 

skills while simultaneously 

building their 

self-confidence. 

“The students (on the 

committee) are ambassadors 

of the library for their 

respective classes,” LaCerra 

said. “They go back to 

class after spending their 

lunch period in the library 

and talk about the author 

who’s going to visit or 

the new programming or 

books we just got. 

“But most importantly, 

they’re able to put 

their mark on our school 

through the library, which 

touches every student. 

Their ability to leave here 

knowing they did something 

tangible that will 

help future students is 

invaluable.” 

While the experience is 

invaluable, the books cost 

real money. With approximately 

$1,200 to spend on 

new books this year, LaCerra 

tasked the committee 

with surveying students 

and staff about their book 

needs, creating graphs 

and charts to outline the 

requests, considering the 

budget, and figuring out 

which books were already 

in the library. 

Then, they spent nearly 

two hours exploring 

genres, debating titles, 

calculating funds, and researching 

reviews at a field 

trip to the Book Bin, 1151 

Church St., Northbrook. 

Now, thanks to their efforts, 

Westmoor’s library 

is stocked with a host of 

new titles for current and 

future students to enjoy. 

“Throughout this entire 

process, they learned so 

much about what goes into 

a library, that it’s so much 

more than just a place with 

a lot of books,” LaCerra 

said. “… It’s important for 

kids to see that libraries 

can evolve with them and 

their needs.” 

At the end of the field 

trip, the Book Bin’s owner, 

Alli Gilley, gave each student 

an advance copy of 

a book from his or her favorite 

genre, allowing the 

students to read the titles 

before almost anyone else 

in the world. And as an 

added bonus, according to 

LaCerra, some of the kids 

learned about the existence 

of brick-and-mortar bookstores, 

opening a whole 

new world of possibilities 

to these early learners. 

In order to join the committee, 

students had to 

pitch themselves to LaCerra 

and her assistant, Kim 

Burnson, through writing 

or an audio recording. The 

librarians initially expected 

to accept three students 

from each grade level, 

3–5, but since so many of 

Westmoor’s 350 students 

applied for the committee 

positions, they eventually 

accepted 12 students 

without considering age. 

“We went through and 

used a rubric to see if any 

of the students’ answers 

were innovative or different 

form the others,” LaCerra 

said. “We wanted to 

know what each student 

As part of Northbrook School District 28’s first-ever Library Advisory Committee, 

Westmoor School students traveled to Northbrook’s The Book Bin to buy books for 

the school’s library. Photo Submitted 

Westmoor students help pick out books at the Book Bin. 

would bring to table that 

no else would. In the end, 

we thought it was more 

important to focus on the 

answer and student rather 

than trying to represent a 

certain grade level.” 

With five committee 

members graduating 

from Westmoor this year, 

LaCerra encourages both 

new and current students, 

who may have developed 

or changed over the past 

nine months, to apply for 

the opening spots. While 

she will ask the other current 

members if they want 

to stay on the committee 

next year, she doesn’t 

expect any to give up the 

opportunity. 

And with a successful 

first year in the books, 

LaCerra, who has been the 

librarian at Westmoor for 

15 years, hopes other D28 

schools will create their 

own committees based on 

their model.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Glenview Village Board: 

New tobacco businesses 

banned for 120 days 

Glenview won’t be 

welcoming additional tobacco 

stores, vaping supply 

stores, cigar lounges 

or hookah lounges in the 

immediate future. 

During its Tuesday, 

May 7 meeting, the Glenview 

Village Board unanimously 

approved a moratorium 

that would prevent 

the issuance of licenses to 

any new retail businesses 

that primarily specialize 

in tobacco or alternative 

nicotine products. 

The moratorium will expire 

after 120 days unless 

extended by future board 

action and will not restrict 

or impede any existing 

businesses that already 

exist. 

The decision came 

amidst a broader discussion 

about tobacco access 

across Illinois, and trustees 

hope to prevent new 

tobacco-centric business 

from entering the village 

until they have a chance to 

decide how Glenview will 

approach the issue, whether 

adopting the state’s 

new regulations, keeping 

the village’s current 

regulations or adopting 

something more unique. 

Currently, state statutes 

allow individuals 18 years 

of age or older to purchase 

tobacco and alternative 

nicotine products at 

physical stores and online. 

The sale of these products 

to minors, as well as 

the possession of these 

products by minors, is 

considered a petty offense 

punishable by a $200 fine 

for first-time offenders. 

Increased fines of up 

to $800 per offense apply 

if multiple offenses 

occur within any 24-month 

period.

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

These days, cameras on 

phones often have many 

of the bells and whistles 

traditional cameras have. 

Though sales of standard 

cameras are down due 

to this, many photographers 

still prefer standard 

cameras. 

Whichever device you 

use, getting quality photos 

of family and friends 

never gets old. 

In honor of Father’s 

Day, The Tower is asking 

residents to submit a 

photo of dad for our annual 

Father’s Day Photo

has taken many photos of 

you over the years. This is 

your chance to return the 

favor for the special guy. 

Maybe it’s a picture of 

you two at graduation or 

shooting some late night 

hoops in the driveway — 

whatever sweet photo you 

have to share, The Tower 

wants to see it. 

Send us a photo of your 

dad, and we’ll publish the 

winning entry, plus others, 

on Thursday, June 13, just 

in time for Father’s Day, 

which is Sunday, June 16. 

The winning photo will 

receive a prize from a local 

business to share with 

his or her dad.

Wood Oaks students present final projects on genocide prevention 

Submitted Content 

Wood Oaks eighth-graders 

recently presented their 

final projects on genocide 

after studying genocide 

and genocide prevention 

in social studies classes. 

The students have been 

studying the issue of 

genocide, particularly in 

Darfur and Rwanda. They 

participated in a half-day 

workshop in March with 

Carl Wilkens, who was 

the last American to stay 

in Rwanda during the 

genocide there in 1994. 

He is credited with saving 

hundreds of lives by his 

humanitarian efforts. 

The student projects 

ran the gamut, from posters 

to videos, to pieces of 

art. The students were encouraged 

to be creative, 

said Gella Meyerhoff, one 

of the Wood Oaks social

studies teachers. 

“Because the unit on 

genocide has troubling 

and emotionally charged 

content, students were encouraged 

to use art as a 

means of expression, reflecting 

their response to 

this important and difficult 

subject,” Meyerhoff said. 

Two students, Alex 

Smith and Maddie Furman, 

created a claw-type game 

with the words “Never 

Again” scrawled on the 

background. Each of the 

“prizes” included a photo 

and information about a 

genocide event in history, 

thus the sign on the machine 

which reads, “Don’t 

play the game of genocide 

... we all know it’s rigged.” 

Paige Star created a 

structure that looked like 

a barn to represent one

that her great-grandfather 

sought refuge in after escaping 

the Nazis during a 

death march in World War 

II. 

Meyerhoff said the 

unit is designed to not 

only teach the students 

about genocide, but arm 

them with information 

to keep the killings from 

happening again. 

“Our eighth grade students 

explore genocide 

and genocide prevention 

to envision the ways 

that they might transform 

their learning into action 

as global citizens impacting 

the world in a positive 

way,” she said. “Our goal 

is to empower students to 

‘remember the past and 

transform the future.’” 

My hands on approach reduces costs and avoids confusion. 

The Most Exciting Part For Me Is Seeing How Each Project Is 

A Unique Reflection Of My Client’s Personality And Life Style.

Crossword by Myles Mellor and Susan Flanagan

northbrooktower.com Life & arts 


D28 teachers craft musical from scratch 

Alexa Burnell 


Northbrook School District 

28 fifth-grade students 

learned the many 

life lessons that come 

with being on the stage 

during their annual musical 

production “Going to 

America,” written, produced 

and directed by art 

teacher Jeremy Blair and 

music teacher Jeremy 

Bartunek. 

Although the production 

ran earlier this month, 

the idea was conceived 

nearly two years ago 

when Bartunek and Blair 

decided a home-grown 

production would result 

in a most-powerful educational 

experience for the 

students. 

“What I love about District 

28 is the focus on developing 

the whole child,” 

Blair said. “With that concept 

in mind, we looked at 

the performance as a way 

to teach the students how 

art, math, literacy, engineering 

and other subjects 

all overlap, resulting in 

a full-fledged production 

that the students can 

proudly say they helped 

create.” 

Over the past several 

years, these two 

teachers spent countless 

hours — in and outside 

of school —writing the 

script, writing songs, cutting 

soundtracks, choreographing 

dances, casting 

the production and so 

much more. In the end, 

the product was even 

more than they could have 

imagined because of the 

78 students who committed 

themselves to the 

process. 

“I cannot tell you how 

incredibly satisfying it 

is to see our idea evolve 

into a full production with 

lighting, sound, music and 

a thoughtful plot,” Bartunek 

said. “Now, watching 

the students share in 

our sense of satisfaction 

makes it all that much better; 

we relied on them just 

as they relied on us. 

“For example, there 

was a point when we realized 

we were short a few 

lines in one of the songs, 

so several kids jumped 

in and wrote the lyrics. 

Those with math expertise, 

helped us map out 

stage placements; four 

girls manned the entire 

sound board alone. This 

production was a true 

collaborative effort.” 

Along with learning the 

ins and outs of a production, 

young performers 

learned valuable lessons 

from the storyline as well. 

“Going to America” details 

the trials and tribulations 

that many families 

face, while leaving their 

homelands for better 

opportunities. 

Ethan McClure played 

Johnny, a character who 

traveled from Ireland with 

his pregnant wife, unsure 

of what his future would 

hold. The theme was 

one that resonated with 

McClure. 

“I really appreciated 

Johnny because I could 

understand how he felt,” 

he said. “Not long ago, 

I moved from Atlanta 

for many reasons; one of 

them to have a better public 

school opportunity. At 

first, I was scared to start 

over. But now, I’m so happy 

to be here. I have new 

friends and a great school. 

Just like Johnny, I had to 

be brave, stay focused on 

the positive and not let fear 

get in my way.” 

Similarly, Michael 

Eichstadt, who also played 

Johnny, said his character 

and the storyline taught 

him about perseverance. 

“I learned that in order 

to achieve happiness, you 

must just keep going and 

don’t let the little things 

stop you from going after 

your dreams,” he said. 

“Johnny was scared, but 

he didn’t let him stop him. 

He had to care for his family 

and keep going after 

Molly McAnally (left), and Emily Rogers perform during 

“Going to America,” a production created completely 

by District 28 educators Jeremy Blair and Jeremy 

Bartunek. Alexa Burnell/22nd Century Media 

what he wanted. Johnny 

never gave up. ” 

Ella Marks, who played 

Fiona, Johnny’s wife, 

learned the real challenges 

an immigrant faces when 

coming to a new country. 

“Fiona tried to put on 

a brave face, but she was 

scared. She was pregnant, 

leaving her family, coming 

to a new land and not 

knowing anyone,” Marks 

said. “I realized how scary 

it must be for someone in 

that position. This story 

taught me that life is not always 

easy, but if you keep 

trying, you can achieve 

your dreams; never let fear 

stand in your way.”

Salt Creek Tacos offers new concept on the North Shore 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

John des Rosiers knows 

a thing or two about operating 

a successful restaurant 

on the North Shore. 

As the owner of two 

restaurants in Lake Bluff, 

Inovasi and The Otherdoor, 

des Rosiers decided 

to venture out into Highland 

Park and try his hand 

at a third restaurant, Salt 

Creek Tacos. 

Salt Creek Tacos, 431 

Temple Ave., Highland 

Park, is considered the 

middle child of all of his 

restaurants. 

“I wanted to do something 

that slid in between 

The Otherdoor and Inovasi,” 

des Rosiers said. 

The Otherdoor is a fastcasual 

Mexican restaurant, 

while Inovasi, which is 

celebrating its 10th anniversary 

this year, is an upscale 

American restaurant. 

“[Salt Creek Tacos] is 

a little bit higher end than 

The Otherdoor with an 

added focus on every single 

item being hand-made,” 

des Rosiers said. “I also 

wanted to do a place that 

was focused on tequila, and 

I think we put together a 

hell of a good list.” 

Running three completely 

different restaurants can 

be challenging, but it’s 

something des Rosiers has 

thought about for years. 

“I had been thinking a 

lot in the last couple years 

about the places I want to 

build, and what the market 

needs,” he said. “I think 

something like this is exactly 

what a lot of people 

are looking for, and what a 

lot of people are going to 

discover is what they have 

been looking for. It’s a 

place where everything is 

high quality, but affordable 

for almost anyone to come 

in and eat.”

Friday-Saturday 

And in finding the middle 

ground between his 

other two restaurants, Salt 

Creek Tacos is considered 

a casual restaurant with a 

twist. 

“It’s not completely fast 

casual and it’s not full service 

dining, it’s kind of in 

the middle,” des Rosiers 

said. 

Salt Creek Tacos runs 

things slightly different 

than most restaurants. 

When guests arrive they are 

seated at a table and mark 

down their own orders on 

an order form and bring 

it up to the front counter. 

Then, the staff will prepare 

the food and drinks, and 

serve it to guests. 

The menu at Salt Creek 

Tacos is small — on 

purpose. 

“I didn’t want us to get 

distracted by doing too 

many things, I wanted 

to do a small number of 

things really well.” 

One thing Salt Creek Tacos 

prides itself on it making 

every single item by 

hand. Des Rosiers said every 

day he has three people 

come in just to make tortillas 

from scratch, which is 

difficult, time consuming 

and expensive. 

Not only do they take 

pride in offering handmade 

menu items, they 

place an added emphasis 

on consistency. 

“We want people to 

come in and have a taco 

10 days in a row and have 

it exactly the same every 

time,” des Rosiers said. 

The grilled steak taco ($4) at Salt Creek Tacos features steak, cilantro, poblano salsa, pickled sweet onion in a 

warm tortilla made in-house. Photos by Eric DeGrechie/22nd Century Media 

The grilled chicken taco ($3.50) is made with chicken, 

avocado, salsa verde, cotija cheese and radish. 

“We kept it so that the 

menu is easy and fast for 

customers to read and order, 

it’s easy and fast for us 

to make it, it’s consistent 

and it’s all done by hand 

and it’s high quality.” 

After hearing all about 

the hand-crafted menu, 

22nd Century Media editors 

couldn’t wait to dive 

in and try some of the food 

from Salt Creek Tacos. 

We started out with a 

classic, house-made chips 

& guac ($7). The guacamole 

is freshly made 

with a lot of flavor and the 

hand-made chips are extra 

crunchy and unlike typical 

tortilla chips. 

Next up, we tried three 

of five of the taco offerings 

at Salt Creek Tacos. 

The smoked pork taco 

($3.50), is made Veracruz 

style with olives, caper, tomato, 

sunflower seeds and 

jalapeños.

style with olive, caper, tomato, sunflower seeds and 

jalapeno. 

cheese and radish. 

Grilled steak taco ($4) 

is topped with cilantro, 

poblano salsa and pickled 

sweet onion. 

After trying each of the 

tacos it was hard to choose 

a favorite — but one thing 

was for sure, they all included 

big, bold flavors. 

Quesadillas, salads, esquite, 

chicharrones and an 

extensive tequila and mezcal 

list are among some of 

the items that round out 

the rest of the menu at Salt 

Creek Tacos. 

Salt Creek Tacos does 

not accept reservations, 

but offers an online wait 

list system where guests 

can put their name on the 

list and know how long 

they have to wait for a 

table, before they arrive at 

the restaurant.

Taco wait list prior to arrival,

Athlete of the Week 

Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media 

10 Questions 

with Jamie Kempner 

Kempner was a Glenbrook 

North girls basketball 

player who signed her 

letter of intent to play at 

Carthage College. 

When and why did 

you start playing 

basketball? 

I started when I was 

about 6. I was really drawn 

to it, my dad and my 

brother, we used to have 

a basketball court in my 

backyard and that’s when I 

really started liking it. 

What do you like most 

about the sport? 

I just like the team part 

about it. I think having 

a solid team and a group 

of girls that are so close. 

That’s just the best. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before a 

game? 

I always take a shower 

before a game. I started 

doing that my sophomore 

year. It makes me more 

awake and in the shower, I 

think about the game. 

What is your favorite 

sports moment? 

It wasn’t my senior 

night, it was the senior 

night during my junior 

year against Deerfield and 

I made a 3-pointer and that 

brought us into overtime. 

Everyone was really into 

it. 

What is one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

People don’t know that I 

have a twin. 

If you could be any 

superhero, what super 

power would you 

want? 

I would want to fly. I always 

thought that would 

be cool. 

What would you do if 

you won the lottery? 

I would donate a lot to 

charity. The first thing has 

to do with cancer research 

and mental health wise. 

And then just save it. 

If you could play any 

other sport, which 

would you play? 

Probably soccer. I used 

to play that but gave it up 

for basketball. 

What is one thing on 

your bucket list? 

I want to go zip line 

somewhere tropical. 

If you could be any 

animal, which animal 

would you be? 

I would be a Great White 

Shark because I’ve always 

been very fascinated with 

them.

GBN gymnasts who 

emerged from the preliminary 

competition as finalists—Hardagree 

in three 

events and Mutchnik in 

one. 

In addition to winning 

the pommel horse 

Hardagree earned an 

award in the vault, tying 

Hersey’s Garrett Naughton 

for fifth with a score 

of 9.4000. Deerfield’s 

Matthew Kroscher was 

the winner with a 9.6000. 

Hardagree’s other event 

was the rings in which 

he finished 10th with 

an 8.8000 followed by 

Mutchnik with an 8.2500. 

Hardagree said he made 

the decision to join the 

high school team because 

his body felt battered at 

the conclusion of the club 

season last year. 

“I knew there had to be 

some sort of change,” he 

explained. 

“It’s different than club 

atmosphere. We are always 

together. We’d go 

to school, we’d practice, 

and we’d go home and 

then we’d repeat it the 

next day. It was fun going 

vault with a 9-foot-3 jump 

while Sarah Cottick and 

May Radziewicz finished 

sixth and seventh, respectively, 

in the 200-meter 

dash. 

All of the strong performances 

from the meet 

have Cooper and the 

other returning Spartans 

thinking in a year or two, 

they’ll be competing for 

the sectional title in the final 

event of the meet. 

That’s the goal,” Cooper 

said. “A lot of the 

girls that are running are 

sophomores and juniors. 

We had some great senior 

leadership but we really 

had six seniors on the 

team so I’m excited to see 

what the future holds and 

hopefully we get better.” 

Glenbrook South junior 

Raelyn Roberson has 

made a name for herself in 

the area when it comes to 

her jumping abilities. 

The Titan built upon a 

strong sophomore campaign 

when she finished 

second in the state in the 

long jump and brought it 

into her junior year. 

But after winning the 

long jump sectional and 

qualifying for a return 

date the state meet with 

an 18-foot-9 jump, she 

wasn’t only exciting about 

returning to state. 

“I’m excited I won’t be 

to state as a freshman but 

this year was a blast.” 

Mutchnik, meanwhile, 

has been a GBN gymnast 

ever since he was a 

freshman and this season 

marked the fourth time he 

earned a trip to the state 

standing by myself,” Roberson 

said with a smile. 

The junior will be 

joined by sophomore Sydney 

Willits, who finished 

second in the long jump 

and also qualified for the 

state meet, jumping at 18 

feet, 4.5 inches. Willits 

also advanced to the state 

meet after her third-place 

finish in the triple jump 

with a 36-foot-9.5 jump. 

South finished fourth in 

the meet with 64 points. 

Roberson failed to qualify 

for the state meet in her 

races, which she was disappointed 

with. 

But she’s excited to see 

her hard work pay off for 

a return visit to the state 

meet. 

meet. 

He downplayed his selection 

as IHSA Gymnast 

of the Year — an award 

that “embodies the spirit 

of high school athletics.” 

“The coaches seem to 

think I represent the sport 

“It felt great because I 

know that I put in a lot to 

work and to see that work 

pay off really feels good,” 

Roberson said. 

Lake Forest’s Sydney 

Leonardi didn’t think 

she’d be running again 

this season let alone qualifying 

for the state meet. 

After falling in the final 

hurdle in a sectional meet 

her freshman year and 

then tearing her hamstring 

the next season, the junior 

didn’t imagine that she’d 

be celebrating with teammates 

after her run in the 

300-meter hurdles. 

The Scout just missed 

out on finishing first in the 

meet, settling for second 

with a 45.37-second finish. 

and the state and if that’s 

the case it’s an honor,” he 

said. “Individually, it was 

my highlight but it’s always 

about the team and 

the highlight of the weekend 

was our team getting 

third in the state. 

“It felt amazing,” Leonardi 

said. “I didn’t even 

know if it was going to be 

able to run this season, so 

to qualify for state is honestly 

amazing.” 

Her performance was 

the highlight of the day 

for the Scouts, who finished 

12th in the meet 

with nine points. 

While the Scouts will 

end the season, one Lake 

Forest runner will continue 

to run, even after she 

thought she wouldn’t. 

“It feels amazing,” 

Leonardi said. “Just to 

know what I went through, 

which made me stronger 

as an athlete and a competitor, 

so it made it feel 

really good and better.” 

Glenbrook North boys gymnast Daniel Lavrentiev competes at the IHSA State Meet on Saturday, May 11, in 

Hoffman Estates. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

“This year we were so 

deep and we were putting 

together routines that we 

weren’t doing last year. On 

all four of my good events 

I put together better routines 

on each of them.”



Scheyer surprises Northbrook’s Willowbrook students with visit 

Submitted content 

It’s not every day a basketball 

giant just walks into 

a classroom for a friendly 

chat with students, teachers 

and administrators. 

But May 6 was a very 

special day for Willowbrook 

School kindergartners 

in Sarah Lerman’s 

classroom because that is 

exactly what happened. 

District 30 alumnus and 

Mr. Basketball of Illinois 

2006, Jon Scheyer, joined 

the students and teachers, 

to the delight of all present, 

especially his nephew 

Blake Resnick, who is a 

student in the class. 

Scheyer, whose smile lit 

up the classroom, is now 

the associate head coach 

of the University of Duke 

Blue Devils men’s basketball 

team. 

He led Glenbrook North 

High to an Illinois state 

basketball championship 

as a high-school All-American 

and was on the 2009- 

10 Duke Blue Devils team 

that won the 2010 NCAA 

Basketball Championship, 

as a college All-American. 

However, at Willowbrook, 

he towered over the 

excited kindergartners at 

6-foot-6, dressed in shorts 

and a Duke jacket, and was 

their hero of the day. 

Nephew Blake Resnick 

sat at his side while he 

spoke to the children about 

things that he, as a team 

recruiter, looks for when 

looking for new players. 

“One must have high 

character. Do you listen 

to your teachers? Are you 

a good person?” he asked. 

He then stressed that 

good grades, talent and 

practice are also very important 

to succeed as an 

athlete or in any profession. 

During a question-andanswer 

period, one student 

asked what his favorite 

number is. 

Scheyer said it is 30, 

which was his number 

when he played at Duke. 

When he was in elementary 

school, he said his favorite 

number was 23 (Michael 

Jordan’s number). Then 

later, seven was his number 

of choice. By the time he 

played basketball in college 

at Duke, he had chosen the 

number 30, and it stuck. 

His mother Laury 

Scheyer and sister Jenifer 

Resnick (mother of Blake), 

Jon Scheyer visited Willowbrook School in Northbrook on May 6 in a fun surprise for students and teachers. 

Photos submitted 

were also in the classroom, 

with Principal Dr. Scott 

Carlson, and Superintendent 

Dr. Brian Wegley. 

The kids, with the help 

of teacher assistant Sara 

Weinstein, handed out 

their handmade cards to 

Scheyer. In return, he 

gave each person an autographed 

photo of himself 

on the cover of Sports Illustrated 

magazine, when 

the Blue Devils won the 

championship in 2010. 

As impressed as the children 

were by this super athlete’s 

myriad accomplishments, 

there was one thing 

that they kept asking him to 

repeat while he was in their 

classroom. That was to 

touch the ceiling simply by 

just stretching out his arm. 

The chant, “Do it again, 

do it again,” rang loudly 

throughout the room. 

However, as most adults 

already know, it’s never 

truly easy to reach a ceiling. 

It takes practice, a lot 

of practice. 

Scheyer talks to the class and shares words of advice.

Girls Soccer 

Spartans fall short in upset bid of New Trier 

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor 

Some athletes can’t get a 

second chance. 

When New Trier midfielder 

Emma Weaver 

scored the lone goal against 

Glenbrook North on May 

7, she proved why she was 

on of those athletes. The 

junior had a perfect opportunity 

to break the scoreless 

match in the early part 

of the second half when she 

lead the way on a one-onone 

breakaway with the 

Spartans goalkeeper. What 

seemed like an easy goal 

for the sharpshooter turned 

into a ball that sailed over 

the net. 

Weaver got her second 

chance. 

Almost a minute later, 

the Trevian got another opportunity 

to break the tie 

and this time didn’t sail it, 

scoring on a point-blank 

shot to secure New Trier a 

1-0 win. 

“Emma Weaver is death 

by woodpecker,” New 

Trier head coach Jim Burnside 

said. “She’s just going 

to keep pecking away and 

she’s going to get one eventually.” 

Weaver’s goal came in 

a matchup between the 

Central Suburban League 

South champion Trevians 

and the CSL North champion 

Spartans in one of 

the final matches for both 

teams before the start of 

postseason play. 

New Trier started the 

game on the attack, creating 

pressure and countless 

opportunities on the Spartans 

side of the ball. The 

Trevians failed to score, 

though, thanks in part to 

great goalkeeping from junior 

Ellie Scott and some 

misses by New Trier. 

Once the Trevians 

scored, the Spartans started

to open up their game, creating 

opportunities of their 

own, but North couldn’t 

capitalize against a strong 

defense. 

“I think we did a good 

job of limiting their opportunities, 

got lucky a couple 

times and got some opportunities 

ourselves,” North 

head coach Tony Valsamis 

said, “but we just couldn’t 

ourselves. Against a team 

like New Trier, they’ll figure 

out how to win.” 

North battled the game 

without junior captain Olivia 

Kosla. The defensemen 

has missed several 

games due to a concussion 

but is expected to return 

in time for the start of the 

postseason. 

Playing a team like New 

Trier was good preparation 

for what Valsamis knows 

his team will see in the 

postseason. If North would 

win its opening games to 

advance to the IHSA regional 

final, it would likely 

play rival Glenbrook 

South, a team very similar 

to New Trier. 

While the Spartans 

wanted to upset one of the 

better teams in the state, 

matches like the CSL 

Crossover are good ways 

to help Valsamis grow his 

young program. 

“Regardless of how this 

season ends, I’m happy 

with how far we’ve come, 

how we’ve developed as 

a team and I’m optimistic 

looking forward to next 

year.”

Spartans see glimpses of future at sectional 

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor 



from this meet, visit 


Justin Cooper saw exactly 

what he wanted from 

his Glenbrook North team 

at its IHSA sectional. 

The Spartans finished 

ninth in the 14-team sectional 

held at Loyola in 

Wilmette on Thursday, 

May 9, but many of his 

young Spartan athletes 

finished with personal records 

at the right time. 

“Generally I was really 

happy with how things 

went,” the head coach 

Cooper said. “We didn’t 

qualify anybody to state 

but we continue to get 

better and better, so I’m 

really excited for where 

we’re at.” 

New Trier won the sectional 

with 98 points, edging 

out Evanston in the final 

event of the afternoon, 

who finished the meet 

with 97 points. 

One of the highlights 

for the Spartans in a day 

filled with person bests 

came when sophomore 

Natalie Sandlow finished 

third in the 400-meter 

dash having entered the 

meet with no prior official 

time in the meet. Because 

of that, Sandlow raced in 

the third heat of the race, 

beating the rest of the 

competition with quite the 

advantage. 

Sandlow’s large lead 

actually made it hard for 

her to keep pace with 

what the state-qualifying 

time would’ve been, according 

to her head coach. 

‘That’s really challenging 

to run out,” Cooper 

said. “I’m really proud of 

her and how the girls ran 

today.” 

Alexandra Chertok and 

Claudia Herman provided 

some other highlights in 

the 3,200 run. Chertok 

and Herman finished fifth 

and sixth, respectively, in 

the meet and improved 

on their own times. Junior 

Carly Anderson finished 

fourth in the pole

Dul named Coach of the Year, Mutchnik Gymnast of the Year 

Neil Milbert 


Momma never said 

there’d be nights like this. 

Glenbrook North had a 

lot to celebrate on Mother’s 

Day weekend when 

the IHSA State Championships 

were held at Hoffman 

Estates High School 

On Friday night, the 

Spartans finished third in 

the IHSA team championship 

competition. 

On Saturday night their 

coach, Ryan Dul, was 

selected IHSA Coach of 

the Year; Casey Mutchnik 

was selected IHSA 

Gymnast of the Year and 

fellow senior Cam Hardegree 

joined the celebration 

by decisively winning 

the individual championship 

in the pommel horse 

with a career best score of 

9.4500. 

“At the end of it I just 

knew that everything I’d 

work for so long finally 

had fallen into place,” 

said Hardagree, who’d 

participated in club gymnastics 

rather than joining 



from this meet, visit 


the high school team during 

the previous two years 

after going to the state 

meet when he was a freshman 

at Barrington. 

The team’s third-place 

finish was the Spartans’ 

best performance in the 

state meet in the 10 years 

that Dul has been their 

coach and he believes it is 

the second best in school 

history. 

“I’m blown away,” he 

said. “I’m super happy 

and honored. And it’s 

awesome for Casey to 

be Gymnast of the Year 

because that gets voted 

on by the coaches, which 

makes it very special. 

“Cam was such a great 

addition to our team, not 

only as a gymnast but he 

has been a great leader as 

well. I don’t want to say 

he was the only factor in 

our success this season 

because the guys already

Northbrook Baseball announced 

May 6 that it will 

open its own state-of-theart 

indoor baseball training 

facility. 

Scheduled to open later 

this Spring, the Northbrook 

Baseball Kipnis Center is 

part of the organization’s 

ongoing effort to improve 

the quality of youth baseball 

in the area by providing 

Northbrook Travel and 

House League players an 

unprecedented opportunity 

to work with their coaches 

year-round in a facility of 

their own. The facility will 

also host other Northbrook 

Baseball-sponsored clinics. 

Located at 1851 Janke 

Rd., the Kipnis Center is 

scheduled to open in June. 

The Kipnis Center was 

made possible by a generous 

donation from Cleveland 

Indians second baseman, 

Jason Kipnis. Kipnis 

is a Northbrook native who 

played with Northbrook 

Baseball during his youth 

before going on to become 

a star at Glenbrook North. 

Additional important donations 

have also been 

made by other long-time 

Northbrook Baseball volunteers, 

which, along with 

a recently-launched capital 

campaign, will ensure the 

facility’s long-term financial 

stability. 

“Northbrook and Northbrook 

Baseball played significant 

roles in shaping 

me into the person I am today, 

and some of my best 

childhood memories are 

of playing baseball with 

my friends on the fields 

around town,” Kipnis said. 

“Coming from a community 

and a youth baseball 

environment that gave so 

much to me, I am really 

happy to have found a way 

to give something back. 

This facility will help ensure 

that the quality of 

baseball in Northbrook remains

The climate-controlled 

facility will feature stateof-the-art 

lighting designed 

to replicate outdoor 

daylight conditions, along 

with artificial turf, batting 

and pitching tunnels, highquality 

pitching machines 

and a full array of additional 

baseball training 

equipment.

The facility is expected to open in June. 

the facility would otherwise 

sit empty. This will 

assist the program with its 

player development, winter 

scheduling and help 

overcome Chicago’s challenging 

Spring weather. 

“For many years, our 

House League teams have 

not had access to indoor 

training space and our 

Travel teams have been 

forced to rent space at various 

private indoor facilities 

throughout the area — 

usually at a high cost and 

with less than ideal time 

slots,” said Mark Gerstein, 

president of the Northbrook 

Baseball Board of 

Directors. “The arrival of 

the Kipnis Center makes 

those issues problems of 

the past. Through the generosity 

of Jason and others, 

we have developed a firstrate 

indoor training center 

while managing to keep 

the cost of playing baseball 

in Northbrook very 

low. This is something our 

entire community can take 

pride in.”
