Resolution addressing June 5 bomb threat condemns hate
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
In light of a June 5
bomb threat that included
anti-Semitic language and
graffiti written in a bathroom
stall at Wilmette
Junior High School, the
Wilmette School District
39 Board of Education
approved a resolution
condemning hate and
deepening the district’s
commitment to a positive
school environment at
its Monday, June 17 meeting.
“I’m so proud to be
apart of this resolution
today with all of you,”
board member Ellen
Sternweiler said. “This
took all of us and everybody
did not hesitate to
step up and stand behind
this and work on this together.
I think this is a
really important turning
point in our district.”
In the resolution, the
board directed district
administration to commit
to and present a clear, actionable,
timely and sustainable
plan to reduce instances
of harassment and
intolerance throughout
the district. The resolution
added that the district
is committed to working
with outside experts to
further challenge hate and
improve the climate within
District 39 schools.
“I believe this may be
some of the most important
work we do as a
board,” board member
Amy Poehling said. “I
look forward to really
digging in, hearing a tangible
and actionable plan
and bringing about something
positive out of a
situation that has been so
unsettling to our community.”
The board has been
working on the issue of
combating hate well before
the June 5 incident
occurred. The board adopted
a statement of inclusion
at its August 2017
meeting.
“When we passed the
statement of inclusion,
that was meaningful to
us and we’re going to
stand behind that,” board
member Mark Steen said.
“This is a step. There’s a
lot more work we’re going
to do after this. We
will recommit ourselves
tonight, but we recognize
that we’ll do much more.”
Board Vice President
Frank Panzica expressed
the importance of turning
the resolution into action.
“I’m looking forward
to regular updates on this
topic,” he said. “I think
this has to be something
that we have a certain
cadence of bringing it up
and discussing it and that
it doesn’t become just a
resolution. It’s important
that this remains top of
mind and doesn’t drift
into the background.”

Lechner attended his final

Langdon Beach closes due
to ‘significant erosion’
Eric DeGrechie, Editor
The Langdon Beach
swimming beach has been
closed until further notice
according to the Wilmette
Park District.
The decision to close
Langdon was made Monday
evening, June 17, according
to Stephen Wilson,
executive director of
the Wilmette Park District.
A protective fence was
placed on Tuesday, June
18.
Officials had considered
closing the beach in 2018
due to similar issues.
“The difference this year
is that the lake levels are
even higher and the erosion
has continued causing
Langdon to have very
little sand on the beach,
rocks to be exposed in the
water and the reduction of
the dune path that allowed
for safe passage down the
bluff,” Wilson said.
On Wednesday, a construction
truck moved
rocks along the beach
while officials took down
swimming ropes and
buoys.
Langdon, established
as a swimming beach in
2007, has seen significant
erosion over the last few
years according to Wilson.
In the summer of 2018, the
shoreline had diminished
such that the Park District
considered shutting
it down for the safety of
visitors.
As a temporary solution,
a 10-foot wide dune
path was created to allow
Langdon to remain open
last summer. This path has
now been reduced to 3 feet
by rising water levels, less
than a typical 5-foot wide

High and dangerous lake levels caused by erosion are
shown at the beach.
sidewalk.
Due to the erosion
caused by the waters of
Lake Michigan rising so
significantly in the first
half of 2019, the decision
was made to close down
Langdon Beach until conditions
improve or an alternative
solution is developed.
“Depending on weather
patterns, the sand can be
replenished by the lake
rather quickly. We will
however monitor Langdon
throughout the season in
hopes of re-opening,” Wilson
said. “Gillson Beach
remains fully operational,
despite the elevated lake
levels.”
The community will still
have full access to Langdon
Park and the tot lot;
however, there will no longer
be access to the lake.
According to
Earlier this month, Lake
Michigan hit the highest
water levels ever recorded
in the month of June due
to heavier-than-normal
rainfall and snow melt
from the winter months according
to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The
increased precipitation has
also increased water levels
to record numbers at Lake
Erie and Lake Superior.

Kenilworth Village Board
Opponents of TIF move meeting to larger space
Fouad Egbaria
Freelance Reporter
For a second straight
meeting, residents expressed
staunch opposition
to a proposal to bring
a tax increment financing,
or TIF, district to
Kenilworth’s commercial
corridor.
Residents packed the
small Village Hall meeting
room in May for a public
hearing on the subject, and
did so again during the Village
Board’s Monday, June
17 regular meeting — this
time held in the larger Assembly
Hall meeting space
across the street.
The Village Board is
scheduled to vote on the
TIF proposal during its
July regular meeting.
A tax increment financing
district — more commonly
referred to by its
acronym, TIF — is a financing
tool by which municipalities
can leverage
incremental tax revenue
within a district throughout
the life of a TIF. Incremental
property tax revenue
increases within the
district are then diverted to
a separate TIF fund, which
is used to fund various
improvements within the
district.
Village President Ann
Potter, addressing concerns
expressed at the
May meeting regarding
eminent domain, said the
board would include language
in the TIF proposal
that would allow residents
whose properties fall within
the proposed TIF district
to opt out of inclusion
in the TIF.
“The Village has absolutely
no intention of
using eminent domain to
take any property in the
TIF district or in any other
part of town,” Potter said.
“I realize now that it was
wrong for us to not to be in
touch personally and individually
with the property
owners who fall within the
TIF.
“I believe if we had sat
down with you at the beginning
of this process, we
could have explained in
detail what we are hoping
to achieve with a TIF and
how you could benefit by
being in the district.”
In addition, she and the
board agreed to the formation
of an ad hoc committee
made up of residents
and business owners that
would offer recommendations
to the board regarding
potential development
options within the TIF district.
She also proposed an
intergovernmental agreement
with the Joseph Sears
School District to address
additional per-student
funding reimbursement if
Posted to WilmetteBeaconDaily.com 9 days ago
the TIF leads to an uptick
in enrollment at the school
that would not be covered
by the school funding formula.
Residents reiterated a
number of reservations
expressed at the May
public hearing, including
concerns regarding a lack
of specific development
plans in hand for the TIF
district prior to the TIF’s
approval and opposition to
the TIF from New Trier.
New Trier School District
203 Superintendent
Paul Sally expressed the
school district’s opposition
to TIF districts, generally.
“It’s our obligation as a
school to be good stewards
of taxpayer dollars while
maintaining the exceptional
value of a New Trier education,”
Sally said. “TIFs
artificially increase our tax
rate to fund the improvements
that have nothing to
do with our stewardship or
the value of a New Trier
education.”
If the TIF were approved,
Sally added he
would also want an intergovernmental
agreement
with the Village, similar to
the one proposed by Potter
with respect to Joseph
Sears.
Resident John Dienner
questioned the lack of
immediate development
plans for the TIF district.
“It strikes me that if
there aren’t any plans
for that redevelopment,
you’ve got the cart before
the horse,” he said.
Resident Emily D’Souza
echoed the sentiment regarding
development
plans.
“I wish that there was
something more solid before
the actual TIF is approved,”
she said.
Other residents suggested
the Village continue to
work under the framework
of its 2008 comprehensive
plan, while others argued
the details of that plan
should be revisited and
possibly reconsidered in
light of modern business
trends.
“I would urge you before
you go ahead with
redeveloping Green Bay
Road according to that
plan, that you really think
about maybe it’s been the
problem all along,” resident
Vivian Vahlberg said.
Vahlberg also pointed
out the decline in retail
since the 2008 comprehensive
plan was created.
“In that time frame
[since 2008] is the cratering
of small retail,” she
said. “So you have a plan
that’s premised on a lot
of small retail producing
money, when there [are]

Library’s summer reading
programing gets underway
Alexa Burnell
Freelance Reporter
The Wilmette Public
Library’s youth summer
reading program, “A Universe
of Stories” got off to
an exciting start June 15
with an array of crafts and
a performance by kids band
Scribble Monster.
The program is geared
towards readers and prereaders
through grade 9.
Registration began on May
28 and runs through Aug.
31.
Throughout the program,
participants record each
day they read, or are read
too, and earn prizes along
the way for hitting specific
goals.
The program, according
to Head of Youth Services
Andrea Vaughn Johnson,
is meant to help children
fall in love with the act of
reading. In order to achieve
this goal, she explained,
a few minor tweaks have
been made to this year’s
program.
“In the past, one of the
criteria for the summer
reading club was to read 20
minutes per day,” Vaughn
Johnson said. “But, according
to the research I’ve been
reading, putting time on
how long someone should
read is not beneficial. Instead,
allowing a child to
determine the amount of
time spent reading is more
likely to result in a natural
love of reading.”
Along with allowing
children to control how
long they read, Vaughn
Johnson encourages freedom
when it comes to reading
selection.
“Let kids pick the books
they want to read,” she

reading.
said. “When they choose
what they are truly interested
in reading, they will
naturally read for 20 minutes
or more.”
In addition to instilling
a love for reading, Vaughn
Johnson explained the importance
of reading over
the Summer months.
“Reading truly helps
prevent the summer slide,”
she said. “If a child doesn’t

Wilmette resident Clohisy was
‘groundbreaker’ throughout life

Johnson says the program
is plain-old fun. Classes
run all summer long for
various age groups to get
involved.
Children can learn how to
make ice cream with librarians,
play outdoor games,
create space-themed crafts,
attend story hours, learn
how to draw and so much
more.
In addition, the library
will host an array of movie
screenings, improv acts,
music concerts and puppet
shows, making it nearly impossible
to stay away from
the library this summer.

Several residents said
the board should put the
TIF proposal up to a referendum,
arguing the residents
would vote it down.
Resident Paul
O’Connor pointed to the
number of residents who
addressed the board in opposition
of the proposal
during the May public
hearing and the meeting
Monday night.
“If you’re so sure this
TIF is such a great idea,”
O’Connor said to the
board, “quit hiding behind
the procedural smokescreen
afforded by this TIF
statute and put the decision
to a Village referendum.”
upbeat attitude that would

Marguerite, who died
June 17, at age 93, became
one of the first women to
graduate from Johns Hopkins
University with training
as a nurse anesthetist,
a field previously reserved
almost exclusively for men.
“She was a groundbreaker
in her day and all through
her life,” son-in-law Edward
Fay said. “She was
like Rosie the Riveter. She
really blazed a trail.”
While at college, she met
Warren Clohisy Jr., MD,
who was interning at Johns
Hopkins. They married in
1953 and she chose to give
up a medical career to become

“her always sunny
positive attitude.”
The Clohisy family lived
at different times both in
Wilmette and Winnetka,

she served as a volunteer
helping students with their

With the focus of the
discussion being on ways
to improve the corridor
and spark development,
some residents indicated
that while they would like
to see improvements, they
generally like Kenilworth
the way that it is.
“I think Kenilworth
is a very special place,”
resident Agnes Prindiville
said. “I think it’s different
from other communities.
It’s different from Winnetka
and from Wilmette. I
like the difference.”
Although vastly outnumbered
by those in opposition,
several residents
expressed support for the
proposal and offered votes
of confidence in the board.
“I trust the board to do
its homework regarding
all this in a thorough, factbased
way,” resident Scott
Wallace said.
Resident Richard Nicolaides
praised the board
for thinking creatively and
considering other options
to fund improvements in
the village.
“We have an asset in
this community that is not
appreciated — the asset
is the potential commercial
district on Green Bay
Road,” Nicolaides said.
“This option seems to be
fair and appropriate. At the

I put my trust in the leaders

Approved 2019-2020 budget includes increase in personnel costs
Fouad Egbaria
Freelance Reporter
The Wilmette Library
Board approved a fiscal
year 2019-2020 budget
featuring a total 5 percent
increase in personnel
costs. The board approved
the budget by a 5-1
vote at its June 18 regular
meeting, after the Finance
Committee reviewed the
budget a second time June
11. Trustee Dan Johnson
provided the lone dissenting
vote, while Trustee
Joan Fishman was absent.
Overall, the working
budget for fiscal year
2019-2020, which begins
July 1, including a 3.3 percent
increase compared
with the current fiscal year
budget. Budgeted General
Fund expenses come in
at $5.79 million, up from
$5.61 million for the current
fiscal year.
The board will approve
the accompanying appropriations
ordinance at a
future meeting.
Library Director Anthony
Auston said the board
has historically approved
the budget and appropriations
ordinance at the same
time, but that it would approve
them separately this
year in order to create a
“distinction” between the
two documents.
The approved budget
features a 3 percent
cost-of-living increase
for library personnel. The
budget also reflects an
additional 2 percent personnel
expenses increase
stemming from a benchmarking
study conducted
by the library last year that
led to amendments to its
salary schedule.
“There are still a few positions
that remain to have
adjustments made to the
base salary and to those
ranges,” Auston said.
“That’s what the balance
of that fund is for, is to accomplish
that project.”
Prior to approval of the
budget, trustees discussed
expected expenditures as
a percentage of the budget.
Through the end of March,
71.1% of the current fiscal
year budget has been expended,
a table included in
the board packet notes.
Johnson said the library
has been coming in under
budget in previous years.
“We’ve been coming in
under budget and so then
we’ve had a surplus,”
Johnson said. “This year,
I’m trying to get a sense as
to how close we come to
budget — if it’s 95 percent,
96 [percent], whatever it’s
going to be — because if
we’ve been coming in under
budget, I don’t want
to have a surplus to dump
into the Special Reserve
Fund again.”
Johnson asked whether
or not the library expects
to approach 100 percent
of the current year’s budgeted
expenditures.
“We budget for 100
percent of our expenses,”
Auston said. “We’re trending
very close to being 100
percent of our budget this
year.”
Some personnel uncertainty
— namely with respect
to the library’s search
for a new director this
year after the departure of
former Director Heather
McCammond-Watts —
has impacted the budget.
Board Treasurer Ron Rodgers
said some personnel
decisions are put on hold
until a new director comes
in and makes his or her
own staffing decisions.
“We had the unfortunate
experience of hiring
a new director who didn’t
stay long,” Rodgers added.
“That repeated the process
and some of the personnel
decisions were extended
even further, so you budget
on the basis of what
you think is going to be …
we’re budgeting now for
next year.
“When we were in this
position two years ago, we
were also starting a new
search because our director
had just left, our new
director had just left. She
only stayed a year. That
tends to cause you to be
under budget on personnel
because of positions you
don’t move forward on because
you want the person
who’s running the library
for you to have control of.”
As for this year’s budget,
Board President Lisa
McDonald said it appears
to be “right on.”
“I’m looking at this
year’s budget and we’ll
probably come in 4 percent
under what is budgeted,
which I think is fair
and prudent,” McDonald
said.

John Jacoby
Contributing Columnist
Leroy Race, the
subject of last
week’s column, was
a bad dude. He was born
with two strikes against
him. His parents were
too young to handle the
responsibility of raising a
child. They divorced after
a brief marriage and left
Leroy with little if any
adult supervision or hope.
By the time he was 38,
he had a lengthy record
of violence and mental
illness. He was a danger
to society. His crimes
crossed state lines, and
law enforcement officials
failed to put all the pieces
together (as they probably
would today) to protect
the public from a menace.
In November 1941,
Leroy, 38, and an accomplice,
Fred White,
42, decided that the North
Shore would be a fertile
area for lucrative larceny.
They targeted the affluent
neighborhood just west of
the Indian Hill Country
Club that included parts
of Wilmette, Winnetka,
and unincorporated Cook
County — Locust, Woodley,
Ramona, and Indian
Hill roads; and Fox and
Meadow lanes. They traveled
on foot at night and
hid in shrubs whenever
the lights of a vehicle approached,
which was rare.
White later estimated that
he and Race committed
27 burglaries on the North
Shore. Wilmette Police
Chief Cloyd McGuire
identified seven definite
victims (including three
in Wilmette) and six probable
victims.
Race and White probably
felt confident when,
after a successful string
of North Shore burglaries,
they decided to visit the
Wilmette home of Walter
and Nellie Hanna, 1224
Locust Road, on January
15, 1942. Inside, presumably
sleeping, were four
occupants — Walter,
Nellie, William Johnston
Sr., and William Johnston
Jr. (“Bill”). Walter and
William Sr. were in the
furniture business. Nellie
owned N. A. Hanna,
Inc., a popular women’s
dress shop and wedding
planner, at Plaza del Lago.
William Sr.’s wife, who
was Nellie’s sister, had
died fifteen years earlier,
and the two households
had merged to care for
Bill, who was only 7 years
old at the time.
Bill attended New
Trier High School and
Lake Forest College. In
December 1938, he married
Virginia Brock of
Kenilworth. They were
both 19-years-old at most.
The marriage lasted only
a year. In January 1942,
Bill was anticipating his
second marriage, to Lois
Brock of Evanston. The
March wedding would be
followed two weeks later
by his induction into the
Army Air Corps.
As Bill lay in bed at 5
a.m. on January 15, perhaps
contemplating these
upcoming events, he heard
someone whisper, “Here’s
a watch and some money.
Let’s see what we can find
in the next room.” Leroy
Race and Fred White had
entered the house through
a first-floor window.
Fully awakened, Bill
remained motionless and
waited for the intruders
to depart. Then, he crept
from his bed, grabbed
two pistols from a drawer,
followed the intruders to
an adjoining bedroom,
shielded himself behind a
door, and shouted, “Raise
your hands! I have you
covered!” Armed with a
.38 caliber revolver, Race
fired five shots towards
Bill, who responded with
17 shots in the intruders’
direction. Race’s shots
missed, but several of
Bill’s shots struck the
intruders — Race fatally
and White superficially in
the hip. Awakened by the
commotion, Walter Hannah
grabbed a baseball
bat, turned on the lights,
and found the two burglars
lying on the floor of
the guest room, groaning.
Race died within a few
minutes. White recovered
and was prosecuted.
After this incident, Bill
married Lois, served in
the Army, became a plastics
manufacturer’s sales
representative, and lived
happily with Lois and four
daughters in Highland
Park. At the age of 34,
he was diagnosed with
multiple sclerosis and
became wheelchair bound,
but he bravely struggled
on without complaint. He
retired at the age of 46
and moved to Clearwater,
Florida, where he died in
1987 at the age of 68.

From the Editor
Closing of Langdon perfect ending to dismal spring
Eric DeGrechie
eric@wilmettebeacon.com
In March of 2018, the
Wilmette Park District
Board met to discuss
delaying the opening of
Langdon Beach due to
erosion issues. I headed
over there armed with my
camera, got out on the
rocks and took some decent
photos of the scene.
The fact that I almost fell
into the Lake Michigan
water is a story for another
day, but I remember
thinking there’s no way
they open this beach.
They did.
This time around with
even worse conditions,
the Wilmette Park District
opted to close the beach
“until further notice.”
The news, of course,
disappointed local
swimmers last week, but
following another trip to
Langdon, I concur with
the decision having seen
it up close.
“The difference this
year is that the lake levels
are even higher and the
erosion has continued
causing Langdon to
have very little sand on
the beach, rocks to be
exposed in the water and
the reduction of the dune
path that allowed for
safe passage down the
bluff,” Stephen Wilson,
executive director of the
Wilmette Park District,
told The Beacon.
Considering how awful
this summer has been
for weather, it seems
fitting that the beach is
closed though officials
are hopeful conditions
will improve and Langdon
Beach reopens soon.
Our fingers are crossed as
well. Maybe the sun can
also reopen before summer
ends. Stay tuned!
Letters to the Editor
Kenilworth TIF ‘must be
stopped’
Question. Who would
borrow $23,500,000 from
their neighbors without
apparently knowing how
they intend to spend it or
knowing with certainty
how they are going to pay
it back? Give up? The Kenilworth
Board of Trustees.
We’re exaggerating to
make a point. A Green
Bay Road commercial
development plan exists:
a failed plan written 10
years ago that lacks relevancy
today. But that
hasn’t stopped President
Ann Potter.
Wilmette and Winnetka’s
Boards embrace
responsible financing and
transparency as their mandate.
But for reasons unknown,
Pres. Potter and
her consiglieri are secretively
pushing the adoption
of a TIF for a large
segment of the Green Bay
Road. Haven’t a clue what
a TIF is? Join the citizens
of Kenilworth. Essentially,
it is a designated area
where incremental taxes

An intriguing number from this week’s edition
Percent increase in
personnel costs approved by
Library Board, Page 10
based on tax assessment
increases are diverted
for at least 23 years. The
area’s normal annual increase
goes into a pot to
incentivise developers.
Theoretically, this device
stimulates development of
“blighted districts” and,
through the theoretical
elevation of assessments
in the surrounding areas,
increases municipal tax
revenues. Lots of theoreticals
but…ask Park Ridge
and a dozen other municipalities
how TIFs nearly
bankrupted their governments.
TIFs often fail. They
fail to attract development
and/or the businesses they
do attract, fail. That leaves
municipalities, who have
locked-in diverted income
for decades, doled
out incentives and seen
assessed property values
drop,…holding the incremental
debt bag. Bond
offerings follow creating
deeper debt pushing property
taxes ever higher.
Why would the Kenilworth
Board embrace
the TIF mechanism without
public referendum in
cynical defiance of the
Non-Home-Rule status
its voters imposed upon
them 10 years ago? Why
would the Board prioritise
commercial real estate development
at the apparent
expense of The Joseph
Sears School, the scholastic
jewel of Kenilworth?
Who spiked their punch
bowl?
The Kenilworth Board
plans to approve the TIF
at its next open board
meeting on July 15th. It
must be stopped.
Even assuming the
Green Bay commerce
area is both “blighted”
and a priority, we need to
start with a Business District
Development Plan.
A SERIOUS PLAN that
convinces and inspires
both the Board and Kenilworth’s
citizenry that
true transformation is
possible. One that has a
reasonable chance of success.
Only then should we
consider how to pay for it.
If we had such a plan,
we probably wouldn’t
need a TIF. Without such
a plan, we shouldn’t undertake
one.

Kenilworth school implements innovative inclusion program
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Three young children
recently walked down a
Hollywood-like red carpet
to their special seats
in Kenilworth’s Joseph
Sears School auditorium
for the special viewing of
documentaries about them
at the Nora’s Night Film
Festival.
Wilmette’s Caroline
Dennis, 5, and Henry Jacoby,
5, and Highland Park’s
Nora Levy, 5, were the celebrities.
The youngsters starred
in documentaries demonstrating
an innovative
inclusion program called
The Nora Project implemented
in each of three
Kenilworth’s Sears School
second grade classrooms
by teachers Barb Rodriguez,
Jennifer Garza and
Alison Gilchrist.
All three youngsters
have some type of physical
or developmental disability.
Each was paired
last fall with Sears School
second-graders who do not
have disabilities.
“We had a hard time
teaching the children about
empathy,” Barb Rodriguez
said. “It is a hard concept
to teach without something
concrete they can see and
experience. I heard about
The Nora Project, got in
touch with the organization
and the outcome was a
far more positive one than
we could ever have anticipated.”
The documentaries
showed how accepting
of each other the secondgraders
were of their three
new Nora friends.
Wilmette’s Brittany Jacoby (left), holding son, Henry, is joined by Wilmette’s Jamie
Dennis, with daughter, Caroline, 5, and Highland Park’s Lauren Schrero and daughter
Nora Levy, 5, a the Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth. Photos submitted
“The second-graders
took ownership and came
up with ideas for things
to do with them [Nora
friends] that were engaging,”
Rodriguez said.
“They knew Henry liked
trains so they would put
train tracks on the floor for
him. He also liked things
that could be pushed so his
Nora friends took out airplanes
and cars for him.”
“The children met one
afternoon a month for an
hour,” said Brittnay Jacoby,
Henry’s mother. “Every
visit the Sears children
built on what Henry could
do.”
His disability is related
to a gene mutation.
“It was like Christmas
morning whenever we
came,” Jacoby said. “Henry
was so happy being
with his new Sears friends.
It was beautiful to watch.”
“Nora loved music,”
Jennifer Garza said. “Some
of our second-graders
went to the school’s music
teacher and asked to borrow
hand-held instruments
that would make music for
a special band.”
“Caroline — known as
CJ by her friends at Sears
School — loved water so
we brought out the water
table for her,” Alison
Gilchrist said. “She liked
watching the children pouring
water, floating things
and watching her friends
play with the water.”
The Sears second-graders
had access to Ipads and
took video and still shots
of their Nora’s friends.
They interviewed the
parents of their Nora
friends and narrated parts
of the video. With the help
of teachers, they pieced
them together for the documentaries.
“The children are more
capable than we give them
credit for,” Gilchrist said.
“The Sears School families
and friends witnessed
how the second graders
looked past any disabilities
of their new Nora friends
and grew to be their big
supporters and truly enjoyed
playing with them,”
Garza said. “We heard
from parents who said their
children would go home
and talk about their Nora
friends.”
The Nora Project was
founded and so named by
Schrero in honor of her
daughter, Nora, who was
born weighing one pound,
underwent five surgeries
before she turned two.
“I want everyone to
know all of the Noras —
children with disabilities
— have stories that matter
and teach us the value of
empathy and inclusion,”
she said. “The school programming
like what occurred
in the second grade
at Kenilworth’s Sears
School allows students to
explore disability, adaptation
and friendship in exciting
and innovative ways.”
“We want to start early
and emphasize that regardless
of how one looks, talks
or walks, children with disabilities
have more in common
with their peers than
not,” Schrero said.
“Many children with disabilities
find themselves
excluded from ordinary
activities by their peers,”
Jamie Dennis said. “Some
parents shy away from
inviting children with disabilities
to play groups or
parties because they do
not know how to deal with
a young person who has a
physical disability or is developmentally
delayed.
We moved to Wilmette
because we knew Caroline,
who is nonverbal and
has a rare form of epilepsy,
would need early intervention
like that available
at Wilmette’s Romona
School.”
Nora Levy plays outside
with the students.
The Nora Project teaches
second-graders the
characteristics of a good
friend.
She had family to help
with her daughter but found
it difficult at first to find a
playgroup for Caroline.
“I learned about The
Nora Project through a
Wilmette mother who started
her own play group for
her son who had a disability,”
Dennis said.

also served the Catholic
Theological Union.
“She was always supportive
of the schools and
what they were trying to
accomplish in any way she
could be,”daughter Rooney
Kerns said.
Outreach to those in need
was also also a priority for
Marguerite and was realized
by serving as a tutor,
extraordinary minister, lector
and hospice volunteer.
For over a decade she ran
Faith, Hope & Charity’s
Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults (RCIA) program,
which is for people who
are interested in converting
to Catholicism. “She was
there for people who were
looking for a way to grow
in their faith and spiritual
life,” Rooney said.
One of Marguerite’s
most important contributions
to the church came
when she was president of
the FHC Parish Council
during a period of controversy
and parish unrest regarding
the alleged conduct
of a priest. “She handled it
with graciousness, aplomb
and courtesy to all,” said
Joanie Binder, who sat on
the same council. “It was
not an easy task but she
held it valiantly and graciously.
Her style was to
handle it with grace and
calm. She was rational and
chose the right path to go
forward.”
Family and friends who
filled Saints Faith, Hope
& Charity on June 22 to
celebrate Marguerite’s life
spoke often of her uplifting
spirit, positivity, fascination
with “life’s simple
pleasures,” ever present
sense of humor, and the
trappings of a bountiful
family life.
She loved to cook for
and host big family Sunday
dinners and parties. “The
more the merrier,” Rooney
said. BBQ ribs, beef stroganoff
and chicken divan
were among her specialities.
“She always had a smile
on her face,” grand-daughter
Genevieve Kerns said.
“You could see a glow in
her eyes filled with kindness
and love for everyone.”
Family spring break
trips to Florida were a particular
treat, she added.
“She always acted a lot
younger than she was,”
said grand-daughter Maggie
O’Brien, who fondly
recalled doing Jane Fonda
exercise videos with Marguerite.
“She had a ton of
energy, and she was super
engaged with all of us
grandchildren.” And then
of course there were her
famous fluff and peanut
butter sandwiches. “I think
all of the grandchildren remember
those.”
Marguerite adored the
times she spent with the
great-grandchildren, too.
“She loved the babies,”
Maggie O’Brien. “She
could rock a baby to sleep
and just sit there holding
the newborn all the time.”
“She was a really incredible
woman,” Maggie
O’Brien said. “This family
has a very deeply rooted
sense of faith and Christianity,
prayer, Mass, goodness,
and kindness. All of
those things are deeply
rooted not just in her and
doc (Warren, who died 21
years ago), but it was so
deeply ingrained in all of
us. It is very much at the
core of our family values.”
Marguerite left another
legacy as well, a completion
of the circle. Nearly six
decades after choosing to
leave the health industry to
be a wife and mother, two
of her ten children are surgeons
and six are serving
in administrative or other
capacities in the medical
field.
Marguerite is survived
by her 10 children, Warren
(Jeanne), Bow (Mark
McGuire), Denis (Mary),
Daniel, Cathreen (Edward
Fay), John (Mary), Marguerite
(Dean Vitulski),
Maryruth (Michael Kerns),
Thomas (Rosemarie) and
Terese (Ryan Hendrickson);
27 grandchildren,
15 great grandchildren, 40
nieces and nephews and
three siblings, Rosemary
Flynn, Mary Grace Stafford,
Lorraine Wagner. She
is predeceased by four siblings,
Cathreen Sweeney,
Reverend Denis Sweeney,
Clayton Sweeney, and Cecilia
Donaghue.
Joanne Schaefer Whitney
Joanne Schaefer (Mangin)
Whitney, a former
Wilmette resident, died
June 16 after a short illness.
Born in Evanston, Illinois
on Feb. 22, 1930 and
raised in Wilmette, Whitney
attended St. Joseph Elementary
and St. Scholastica
High School in Chicago.
She also attended Barat
College in Lake Forest.
Married to Frank Mangin
in 1950 in Camp Cook near
Santa Barbara, they settled
and raised six children in
Phoenix. They are Margaret
Mangin, Gary Mangin,
Didar Singh Khalsa (Didar
Kaur), Michael Mangin,
Mary Violet Relling (Bill
Evans) and Stephen Mangin
(Deidre). All are in
reasonably thriving condition
and have managed 14
grandchildren for Whitney
and many great grandchildren.
Her grandchildren
loved her almost as much
as her children. She is also
survived by sisters Helen
Schantz and Peggy Valaski.
After the first marriage
ended in 1974, Whitney
married Arizona rancher
Art Whitney and they remained
in Phoenix until
Art died in 1998. Whitney
then moved briefly to San
Diego to help with granddaughter
Lauren and then
for 17 years to Memphis
where she helped with four
other grandsons who cherished
her dearly.
Whitney was an active
member of the Saint Francis/Brophy/Xavier
community.
She often served
as “Room Mother” at SFX
grammar school, drove to
many of her kids’ sporting
and social events with
other kids in tow, attended
sporting events (although
sometimes closing her eyes
during suspenseful free
throws), participated in
neighborhood bridge parties,
and kept active in the
Society of the Sacred Heart.
Her children remember the
incredible kindness that
she showed to their friends
in the Central and Camelback
area. Her house was
often the neighborhood
hub for many kids who
were friends with her children.
“Five more for dinner”
was not uncommon
and she was so loving and
graceful that the friends
were also under her spell.
No matter the challenges
that they threw at her she
never stopped believing in
and loving her offspring.
Small miracle.
She moved back to Phoenix
in October to be near
Gary and in her “hometown”
where she spent so
many happy years.

enough good things about
the program and hope to
do it again.”
The Nora Project has
become so popular that the
program will be in about
120 classrooms next fall.
It started with six when it
was founded in 2016.
The Nora Project is free
to participating schools.
Individuals and the
community-at-large are
the sole source of funding
for The Nora Project.
“Our Sears School second-graders
were so taken
with their Nora friends and
being part of the program
they decided to hold an
impromptu bake sale during
one of the last days of
the school year,” Garza
said. “They made fliers
and went to other classrooms
to talk about The
Nora Project. In just 45
minutes, their bake sale
made $464, which went to
the organization.”

Gus’ Corner Grille offers casual, family-friendly environment
Alyssa Groh
Contributing Editor
When Dina Boufis made
a career change, she decided
to take it back to her
roots by opening a new
restaurant.
Boufis, a Lake Bluff
resident, grew up around
her father’s restaurant
Little Nick’s, which was
on Rockland Road in Lake
Bluff until it closed about
12 years ago.
In December, Boufis decided
to open her own restaurant
Gus’ Corner Grille
in Lake Bluff, in the name
of her father, Gus.
“It’s in my blood,” she
said of opening Gus’ Corner
Grille. “For my parents,
they were immigrants
(from Greece) and this is
what they knew how to do.
They tried to do the best
they could to make a living
for their families. And it’s
not just my family or my
parents, it’s a lot of immigrants
that were in the restaurant
business, trying to
make a better life for their
families.”
Inside Gus’ Corner
Grille old pictures hang on
the wall of Little Nick’s,
which was named after
Boufis’ uncle. One picture
also shows Gus as a pastry
chef at a Chicago hotel
many years ago.
And while Boufis
learned a lot growing up
and working in the restaurant
business, she also
knows a lot about the
business side as a former
banker.
Boufis considers Gus’
Corner Grille as a casual
and family-friendly restaurant.
“We are trying not to be
exuberant as far as price
point, we are casual and
affordable,” she said.
In managing her restaurant,
Boufis will remember
A full rack of baby back ribs ($22), made with
homemade barbecue sauce, is served with coleslaw
and fries.
two things that her father
taught her about the restaurant
business: “Take
care of the customers and
give them food.”
In creating the familyfriendly,
casual environment
at Gus’ Corner Grille,
she hopes the restaurant
becomes the “neighborhood
restaurant.”
As far as the menu goes,
Gus’ Corner Grille can be
classified as all-American,
and she did incorporate
some items from Little
Nick’s into the menu.
Those who enjoyed the
food at Little Nick’s can
expect to see the same
ribs, hand-pattied burgers,
shrimp cocktail and perch
fish fry on Fridays.
Gus’ Corner Grille also
offers a breakfast menu,
which Boufis refers to as
“Little Nick’s breakfast.”
The breakfast menu consists
of classic breakfast
items such as omelets and
pancakes.
“For our breakfast menu,
which is only on Saturdays
and Sundays, we do homecooked
breakfast meals,
we don’t do crepes or fancy
things,” she said. “We
are not doing something
super fancy, but we want
it to be something you
wouldn’t cook at home all

the time, or just come out
and enjoy yourself.”
As far as the regular
menu goes, guests can expect
a variety of all-American
dishes made with high
quality.
A group of 22nd Century
Media Editors stopped
into Gus’ Corner Grille
and tried out some menu
items.
We started with a special
menu item, the Mediterranean
octopus appetizer
($17). This appetizer is
made with grilled octopus
and topped with pepperoncini,
Kalamata olives,
jalapenos, cherry tomatoes
and drizzled with olive oil.
This dish tastes fresh and
light and is a great way to
start off your meal.
Next up was the half-rib
entree ($16) made with
baby back ribs topped

with home-made barbecue
sauce and served with coleslaw
and fries. The ribs are
nice and tender and almost
fall off the bone.
We couldn’t wait to try
Gus’ Corner Grille’s classic
burger ($11) which
was carried over from
Little Nick’s. The burger
is thick and made with a
half pound of Angus beef,
topped with American
cheese and a brioche bun.
All burgers are served with
chips or french fries and
garnish.
Finally, we tried the
chicken pot pie ($18),
which Boufis said is one of
the restaurant’s most popular
items. The chicken pot
pie is paired with a small
salad with a choice of
dressings.
The kids menu offers
classics such as two mini
burgers, macaroni and
cheese and chicken tenders
for $7. It also offers
specialty kids items such
as steak dinner and jumbo
shrimp for $10.
Gus’ Corner Grille also
offers a happy menu from
3-6 p.m. during the week
and a business lunch,
which consists of a half
sandwich and a soup, or a
petite salad and a soup for
$10.
After being open for six
months, Boufis said the
community has been very
welcoming.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Henry Scherb
The recent New Trier
graduate will play lacrosse
at Tufts University
next season.
When did you first
start playing lacrosse
and why?
I started playing in sixth
grade and I started playing
because my friends
had really cool shorts and
really cool shirts that I
thought I really wanted,
but I knew I couldn’t wear
them unless I played lacrosse.
And it was kind of
similar to hockey, which I
was playing at the time. It
was mostly though just because
they had really cool
stuff that I wanted to rock
at school.
What’s one thing
people don’t know
about you?
One thing people don’t
know about me is I’m actually
pretty interested
in music. I did a senior
project on music production
this past spring. And
I got really interested in
it and I’m thinking about
minoring in music production
next year at Tufts, just
because I think it’s cool,
and music kind of has
been good to me. I listen
to music all the time. So
I’m actually kind of interested
in music, which a lot
of people would not think
because I’m an athlete, but
I’m actually really interested
in music production.
If you could travel
anywhere in the
world, where would
it be?
I really want to go to
Dubai. I heard that the police
cars are Lambos. So I
really want to see a Lamborghini
police car.
If you could have one
meal for the rest of
your life, what would
it be and where would
you get it from?
I would probably get
rack of ribs and a bowl
of mac and cheese on the
side from Little Ricky’s in
Winnetka every single day,
every meal.
If you won the lottery,
what would you do
with the money?
I would pay my parents
back for college first. But
if it were a personal thing,
I would definitely buy a
massive sailboat. Not like
just a regular big cool sailboat,
but one of the ones
that looks like a pirate
ship. Like that big.
What’s been your
favorite thing at New
Trier?
It’s got to be winning
state two times. Those two
days were probably just
the two best days of my
life. There’s nothing better
than working hard all year,
running a bunch of sprints,
wanting to quit sometimes
because of how hard practice
would be, and then
having it pay off in the
end. So yeah, definitely
winning state in 2017 and
22nd Century Media File

2019. Those were my favorite
things for sure.
If you could play
another sport, what
would it be and why?
If I would be really good
at one sport, it would probably
be basketball though
just because I want to be
the guy that can just dunk
on anyone. That’s kind of
my dream.
What’s one song on
your playlist?
My go-to before games
is “Love Sosa” by Chief
Keef.
If you had three
dollars at Walgreens,
what would you buy?
I would definitely get
Ritz Toasted Chips. A lot
of people don’t know what
Ritz Toasted Chips are but
more people should. Ritz
Toasted Chips. They’re really
good.
What’s one item on
your bucket list?
So one goal, like what I
want to do by the time I’m
dead is be able to talk to
my dog. That’s kind of the
number one thing on my
bucket list. It’s not a reality
right now, but that’s my
goal in life is to be able to
talk to my dog somehow,
like have a conversation
with my dog.

Matias’ transformation leads to Titans’ success

Glenbrook South baseball head coach Steve Stanicek
was named 22nd Century Media’s 2019 Baseball Coach
of the Year. 22nd Century Media File Photo
Steve Stanicek had the
blueprints for what he
hoped would be a successful
season for Glenbrook
South — he just needed
his players to buy in.
The Titans head coach
watched as his program
had some down years, including
one in 2018, when
his team finished with a
11-21 record. He decided
to have himself and some
coaches meet with some of
the team’s senior leaders to
talk about what they needed
to do to escape a losing
record.
Stanicek wanted the
players to make a commitment
to get better every
single time they trained.
He knew the wins and
losses would come, but the
players needed to allow
themselves to be coached.
South players committed
to that plan.
They dedicated time in
the weight room and on
the field that translated to
a turnaround for the program.
GBS finished the
spring with a 21-13 record,
a Central Suburban League
South championship, an
IHSA regional title and a
sectional-title appearance.
“It was an incredibly
proud moment for the
coaching staff,” Stanicek
said. “To see that level of
commitment and see kids
wanting to be coached,
wanting to do well, wanting
to do better, it was
a really good group of
kids that are going to be
missed.”
Stanicek’s leadership
and guidance to turn
around his program is
why 22nd Century Media
named him its 2019 Baseball
Coach of the Year.
“It’s amazing how when
you have players like
Brandon Matias, Ryan
O’Hara and Danny Hawes,
you become a very good
coach,” Stanicek joked.
Stanicek met with senior
Nick Mathein to continue
the dialogue after they
spent the summer working
on becoming better. The
two talked about what it
would take to succeed and
both agreed South’s coaching
staff needed to be allowed
to coach the way
it wanted, no questions
asked. If there was commitment
and confidence,
the Titans would return to
success.
The players agreed and
saw the transformation
before the season even
started.
“I think we felt it in
March before we played a
game,” Stanicek said. “We
hoped the work that we put
in transfers to the field.”
Stanicek wanted his
team to compete and saw
early on that his players
could. South traveled to
Nashville and Louisville,
where the team competed
against some of the best
teams in the nation.
The Titans lost some
games and won others, but
the coaching staff saw how
the hard work had already
paid off.
The nonconference part
of the season prepared
the Titans for conference,
where GBS finished with
a 12-4 record and won the
South division. South defeated
Notre Dame to win
its IHSA regional title before
falling in its sectional
final to Oak Park-River
Forest.
While the Titans will
lose a group of seniors
who helped change the
culture, Stanicek is excited
for the future. He hopes
the juniors will take the
same leadership roles this
past group of seniors took.
“We’re very excited,”
he said. “This summer will
be a good test to see how
our sophomores play at
the varsity level and how
they gel with our rising seniors.”
He’ll need them to buy
in to his blueprints again.
Brandon Matias had a
hunch Glenbrook South
would be better this season.
The Titans lacked confidence
and resiliency the
past few seasons, but after
watching his teammates
put in the effort during the
offseason to become better,
he knew this past season’s
team would be different
than others he played on.
“We didn’t give ourselves
an option to not be
good,” Matias said. “I think
that was the mentality running
onto the field, knowing
that the talent was there
and we had put in the hard
work. We didn’t feel like
we were obligated to do
anything less.”
South went on to win a
Central Suburban League
South championship and
its IHSA regional before
losing in its sectional title
game. The change in winning
came thanks to the
different Titans who transformed
their games, led by
Matias. The senior right
fielder knew he needed to
change his game after a
disappointing junior season
if he wanted to continue to
play baseball.
Matias’ dedication and
transformation during his
senior season is why 22nd
Century Media named him
its 2019 Baseball Player of
the Year.
Matias didn’t realize
change needed to happen
until his high school career
was almost over. He batted
.221, had a .351 on-base
percentage and drove in 12
runs in 31 games during his
junior season before simplifying
things.
The Titan cleared his
head and changed a lot of
Glenbrook South baseball player Brandon Matias
earned 22nd Century Media’s 2019 Baseball Player of
the Year honor. 22nd Century Media File Photo
things with his approach,
including adjusting his
hand placement on the bat
and his balance points in
his legs with his stance.
The key, in his mind, was to
build habits. If he started to
focus on his new approach,
the success would come.
“I was so happy for him
because he made a commitment
in December to change
his approach of something
that he’s been doing for a
long time and buying in
to what we were trying to
do here,” said Titans head
coach Steve Stanicek, who
was named 22nd Century
Media’s Coach of the Year.
“To make that commitment,
not knowing what was going
to happen and then have
that success this year, I’m
super proud of him.”
South started the season
strong — and so did Matias.
The senior provided
the Titans with clutch hits
in a season he honestly
didn’t think would hit the
heights it did.
He finished with a .418
batting average and a .513
on-base percentage, while
hitting six home runs and
driving in 30 runs.
“It was fantastic,” Matias
said of seeing the success
pay off. “The entire
team was feeling the vibe.
We didn’t become satisfied
with the immediate success.
We wanted to make
sure to finish the season
with success. It was awesome
to see the success
rooted from the work we
put in the offseason.”
While the success on
the field was fun, Matias
battled with where he could
go to continue playing the
sport he loves. He knew he
would play baseball, it just
wasn’t clear where. But
there were moments during
the season where the lack
of knowing crept into his
mind.
That thought went away
once he decided to continue
his career at Oakton
Community College. The
Owls have recently become
a powerhouse in the junior
college baseball world, having
won a national championship
in 2018, so Matias is
excited for the opportunity
to join the program.
“I honestly feel blessed
to have the opportunity to
continue (playing) baseball,
especially with the tutelage
of Oakton, who had previously
won the Junior College
World Series,” Matias
said. “I have a lot of expectations
and I’m really looking
forward to working with
a great baseball program.”
For Matias, there was
never a doubt.

Scherb ready to make Jumbo freshman impact at Tufts
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Four years ago, the New
Trier boys lacrosse program
saw one if its best
players, Ben Connelly,
graduate and head east to
play at Tufts University.
That following season, a
new No. 32 (Connelly’s
New Trier jersey number)
arrived on campus —
freshman Henry Scherb.
Fast forward four years
and Scherb will once again
be following in Connelly’s
footsteps, as he goes to
Massachusetts to play for
the Jumbos starting in the
fall.
While Connelly didn’t
really push him to attend
Tufts, for Scherb, the passing
down of the jersey
number seemed to be a
sign.
“He was number 32 in
high school and I got kind
of forced into taking 32
my freshman year when I
made the team,” he said.
“So I honestly think if I
didn’t wear his number,
we probably never would
have really gotten in contact.
It ended up kind of
helping me a lot, kind of
getting some connections
with those coaches. So
yeah, Ben, he’s a great
player, great person and
he was a great help on my
process with Tufts.
“I really think without
Ben, my relationship with
coaches would have been a
little different.”
But Connelly wasn’t the
only reason that Scherb
decided on the Division III
school.
“I think the main thing
that kind of swayed me
was just the feeling I got
when I was on campus,”
he said. “I walked on, I
saw the facilities, the locations,
the town, the people,
the team, everything. Everything
there made me
feel at home.”
Scherb, who started
playing lacrosse in the
sixth grade, leaves New
Trier as its all-time scoring
leader after scoring more
than 70 goals this season
and around 49 his junior
year, as well as numerous
goals his first two seasons.
Despite playing on the
varsity squad for all four
years of his high school
career, Scherb didn’t really
become much of a scorer
until he became an upperclassman.
Part of that
could be because he played
as a middie his sophomore
year before moving primarily
to the attack position his
final two years.
He says that playing
middie for that one year
helped him become the
player he is because he
was able to see the entire
field and not just from his
attack position toward the
goal.
Scherb and his teammates
also finished the
year as state champions,
having knocked off Warren
in the state title game
and Loyola in the sectional
final. The Ramblers had
taken down the Trevians
in the first-ever IHSA lacrosse
state title game the
year prior.
Losing that game is
something Scherb says
was on his mind for the
past year.
“After we lost that game
junior year, I remember I
was holding onto the second
place trophy and I
didn’t say a word to anybody,”
he said. “I was just
looking at the trophy, absolutely
anguished. I was
so angry. But I remember
looking at the trophy and
saying, ‘I’m going to remember
this feeling until
I get revenge.’ I literally
didn’t take my eyes off the
trophy for the ride home.”
The following summer,
he and his teammates
were in the weight room
every day, working to get
better so that same feeling
of anguish wouldn’t come
back the next spring.
“I was in the weight
room, shooting, do everything
I could so that
at least I was prepared to
take on whatever we had
to next year,” he said. “I
think a bunch of the guys
also did too and we had
some ups and downs this
year. But because we did
lose last year, we knew
that if we had more downs
than ups, it was not going
to work out for us. So we
had multiple team meetings
and us captains addressed
the team and we
made sure that we stayed
focused when we had to.
“Coming home with
the number one trophy,
after especially losing
the game last year, it was
just the best feeling in
the world. Literally I remember
thinking, ‘Okay,
there’s absolutely zero
chance that I’m going to
lose this game next year.’
But then of course we
lose to Loyola in the regular
season this year and
I’m like, ‘Oh, God. Who
knows? Maybe it’ll happen
again.’ But that loss
definitely just motivated
us and we held onto that
feeling of loss and despair
and we did not want to do
that again.”
Scherb now joins a
Tufts squad that is coming
off of a 19-2 season that
included a trip to the Division
III Elite Eight and
saw 10 Jumbos be named
All-Americans. They’ve
qualified for 11 of the past
12 NCAA Tournaments,
including every one since
the 2009 season. Tufts has
also played for the national
title five times this decade,
including a stretch
from 2014-16. It also won
national titles in 2014 and
2015.
But before he gets out to
Massachusetts, Scherb is
going to enjoy his time as
a state champion.
“It was a feeling I’m
never going to forget and
it’s going to be a feeling
that I’m going to hold onto
for the rest of my life,” he
said. “Not just lacrosse,
but just any life situation,
just knowing that you’ve
got to bounce back and
that anything’s possible as

long as you have motivation,
work your hardest towards
your goal. It’s going

Dwyer breaks out in sophomore campaign
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
After completing what
could be considered the
best career in Illinois high
school girls lacrosse history,
it would have been
easy to think Loyola alumna
Brennan Dwyer would
have instant success at
Northwestern University.
But that wasn’t the case
for the Wilmette native,
as she played in 16 games
but was behind one of the
team’s best players, senior
Shelby Fredericks.
“I think going in, obviously,
everyone wants to
be playing, but you kind
of realize that everyone
still has a role no matter
what you’re doing,” Dwyer
said. “Whether you’re
on the bench or you’re a
scout player or you’re playing
on the fields. I think
that’s something that our
team does really well: is
just making sure everyone
knows how important their
role is.”
She always knew she
might get thrown into the
fire if things didn’t go right,
so she kept herself ready,
especially at the draw. Dwyer
competed in practices
as if she played in a game.
That experience, however,
helped Dwyer in her
sophomore year when she
moved into a starting role,
specializing into a draw
control specialist. The
sophomore finished the
year with 181 draw controls,
which was fifth in the
NCAA and earned All-Big
Ten honors, Intercollegiate
Lacrosse Women’s Coaches
Association Third-Team
All-American honors and
Inside Lacrosse Media
First Team All-American
honors.
Dwyer’s 181 draw controls
broke the Northwestern
single-season record as
well.
“I think it was definitely
helpful to have some experience
from freshman year
and yeah, I think it was
beneficial for me to know
what it’s like to be in a
game and be playing at full
speed,” she said. “I think
freshman year was definitely
a big stepping stone into
this year and just having
Shelby, who was there my

freshman year, just playing
with her in practice and
stuff was also a huge asset.
Dwyer, however, wasn’t
the only one at Northwestern
to have success during
the 2019 season.
The Wildcats made all
sorts of history this spring.
For the first time since the
Big Ten started sponsoring
women’s lacrosse, Northwestern
won the conference
championship, defeating
top-seeded Maryland in
the tournament title game.
Northwestern followed
that up by making a deep
run in the NCAA Tournament,
all the way to the
semifinals, the program’s
first trip to the final four
since 2014.
“Winning the Big Ten
championship was amazing,”
she said. “It was the
first time that our team has
won a Big Ten championship
since we’ve been in
the conference. And so I
think that was super cool
to just be a part of the first
time we’ve ever done that.
Because that’s obviously
something that we work
towards every year, and
Setting the
Standards of
Innovation
Loyola graduate Brennan Dwyer, a rising Northwestern
University junior lacrosse player, looks for a teammate
to pass to in a game against Michigan this year. Stephen
Carrera/Northwestern Athletics
it’s a very big goal of ours.
And that even winning the
Big Ten Championship
puts us in a great spot for
the NCAA Tournament. So
that was a great experience.
“The Final Four was also
crazy, it’s not like anything
I’ve ever been a part of.
The stands were so crowded,
and it was just like such
like a broadcasted event. It
was definitely a very cool
experience.”
Dwyer and her teammates
will prepare for the
upcoming season, but before
then she’ll be doing
some coaching at Northwestern
and Loyola summer
camps, as well as with
local club teams.
She’s excited to get back
to working with her team,
however, as the Wildcats
have a lot of depth returning
from last year’s team,
including five of their top
eight scorers from 2019.
“We’re super excited
about next year and the
upcoming years,” Dwyer
said. “Just having the success
that we did, I think
it kind of made everyone
that’s returning really hungry
to be back there. Because
now we all kind of
know that we’ve been there
and we can get there again
and hopefully the next time
we’re there we leave how
we wanted to, by accomplishing
our goal and winning
the national championship.
“I think that’s super important
and special to have
so many young players
returning who had experience
playing at that level.
So I think that’s going to be
a huge part of our success
next year.”

College, she was almost
like another coach in the
dugout.
“When I was playing I
was much more of a coach
than I was a player,” she
said. “My dad was a coach
and I grew up driving home
from softball games with
him and getting debriefed
about how the game went
from a coach’s perspective.
So the strategy and
technique has been something
that I’ve just always
naturally been drawn to.
“So, I definitely, even
when I was playing I was
coaching in that sense.
Even when I was a kid,
in high school I volunteer
coached for a local junior
high team and so it’s always
been something I’ve
done and wanted to do.”
Wysocki, originally
from the south suburbs,
played her high school
softball at Lincoln-Way
East High School in
Frankfort and followed it
up with a stellar collegiate
career at Elmhurst College.
While at Elmhurst,
she helped revive the
school’s softball program
and earned First Team All-
Conference honors her junior
year.
After graduating from
Elmhurst, she coached for
a year at her alma mater as
an assistant and then got
a job at Loyola Academy.
She coached for a couple
of years there, then took
a couple of years off to
pursue her master’s before
being the head JV coach at
Niles West for the past two
seasons.

Now she’ll be entrusted
to turn around a New Trier
program that’s fallen on
hard times the last couple
years after being hired by
the Winnetka school earlier
this month.
Wysocki, who had been
teaching social studies
at Loyola for the past six
years, will also teach social
studies at New Trier
starting in the fall.
“I obviously know the
tradition, and what New
Trier softball, and what
New Trier as a whole, has
been for a lot of years,”
Wysocki said. “And I’ve
been coaching and been
teaching in the area. I’ve
been wanting to take
on a role as a head softball
coach within the last
couple of years. They had
a social studies position
opening, and the coaching
opening at the same time,
so it just seemed kind of
like a good fit, so I figured
time is top 30 in the world
and the fastest LCM time
in her age group of 14 and
Under.

I’d throw my name in the
hat, see if anything came
up from it.”
Despite New Trier going
14-40 over the past two
years, including 4-23 in
2019, that didn’t discourage
Wysocki from pursuing
the position.
“I think you look at the
broader history of what
New Trier has and they’ve
been really successful,”
Wysocki said. “It’s a really
awesome environment, I
can tell already walking
into. There’s a lot of support
from the girls, from
the families, from the
athletic department, the
school as a whole, so it
definitely didn’t scare me
away or anything like that.
“I think it’s just a matter
of kind of refocusing and
shifting that culture to try
to match what we want the
ultimate outcome to be.”

objective is to win as

playing together as a team

the new Trevians’ coach.
“In reality, I want every
girl in the program to, at
the end of the season, to
look back and say, ‘I enjoyed
my time and, probably
more importantly, I
learned a lot of skills to
help me outside of the softball
field,’” she said. “For
me, the biggest thing is
that these girls walk away
becoming better people in
softball, and any sport really,
it’s just a goal to help
them learn all these character
traits like integrity,
respect, hard work, determination,
all those things
can be fostered on the
softball field and those are
things those girls can carry
with them far past their
softball playing days.”
