Glencoe expands Fourth festivities for sesquicentennial 

Ronnie Wachter 

Freelance Reporter 

Longtime participants 

and village newcomers 

agreed that they enjoyed 

the new format of Glencoe’s 

Independence Day 

celebration on Thursday, 

July 4. 

The Glencoe community 

celebrated the 150th 

anniversary of its charter 

with a longer parade route, 

a larger summer celebration 

and a more expensive 

fireworks show. 

“We are really proud of 

our community for walking 

and being part of the 

parade,” said Erin Classen, 

superintendent of marketing 

and communications 

for the Glencoe Park District, 

which worked with 

Glencoe Village Hall to organize 

and fund the event. 

“It was just a really hot 

day, which was unfortunate.” 

Indeed, the cloudless 

sky may have kept some 

revelers off the sidewalks, 

but the retooled event 

likely drew more parade 

floats than ever before. 

2019 was the first year 

that Village Hall (which 

organized the parade) required 

registration, and 

Classen said 45 entrants 

took part. Rather than 

ending at Village Hall, 

a new route took the action 

from Central School 

northeast up Hazel Avenue 

and into Lakefront 

Park, where games, food 

trucks and inflatables, 

plus a stage with rock 

bands awaited. 

“Ending this at Lakefront 

Park is a wonderful 

addition,” said Craig Eisner, 

who tossed chocolates 

and wristbands with 

the Glencoe Men’s Library 

Club, which made 

The Fourth of July parade featured more than 40 

participants this year. 

its 15th appearance in the 

parade. “We haven’t had a 

common, unifying event 

since the (Glencoe Grand 

Prix) bike race left.” 

Eisner added 2019 was 

the longest line of floats 

he had ever seen in Glencoe. 

Keeping those floats entertained 

— whether they 

included live or recorded 

music, or none — was Allen 

Cosnow, a Hazel Avenue 

resident who brought 

a wagon out to the edge 

of his driveway, rested 

his antique Victor gramophone 

on it and blasted 

marching music. A steady 

stream of marchers and 

observers walking toward 

the park stopped to marvel 

at his hand-cranked 

wonder and the 78-rpm 

records on its turntable. 

“I just thought that it 

would be interesting to 

them,” Cosnow said. 

The parade has never 

come down Cosnow’s 

street before. He said he 

enjoyed all the visitors. 

What he had been hoping 

to see in the new 

format was a lesson in 

American history. Cosnow 

quoted portions of 

the Declaration of Independence 

and spoke about 

the truly revolutionary, 

genuinely iconic notion 

of government by “We the 

people.” 

Parade passers-by 

looked into Cosnow’s 

driveway, saw the giant 

gramophone and gave its 

owner smiles and thumbsup. 

The special Sesquicentennial 

Fourth of July 

in Glencoe celebration 

also included a morning 

Rotary 2-Mile Fun Run, 

preschool games and 

mini golf at Kalk Park, 

and Glencoe’s Got Talent 

show. 

The day ended at Lakefront 

Park with beer and 

wine sales, food trucks, 

inflatables, races, a dunk 

tank that featured Village 

Manager Phil Kiraly and 

Glencoe Park District’s 

Lisa Sheppard, live music 

by Serendipity and 

The Blooze Brothers, and 

Glencoe’s largest-ever 


Classen said the district 

used its usual vendor, but 

with extra funding from 

Village Hall, was able to 

pay for a longer display.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The 

Glencoe Anchor’s Police 

Reports are compiled from 

official reports found on 

file at the Glencoe Police 

Department headquarters in 

Glencoe. Individuals named 

in these reports are considered 

innocent of all charges 

until proven guilty in a court 

of law. 

Lt. Neimark reflects on 29 years serving Glencoe before retirement 

Alan P. Henry 

Freela7nce Reporter 

If you’ve lived in Glencoe 

long enough, chances 

are you’ve crossed paths 

with Lt. Mike Neimark, of 

the Glencoe Public Safety 

Department. Perhaps it was 

something as innocuous as 

a balky carbon monoxide 

detector or a set of keys 

locked in the car. Or maybe 

it was a frantic late night 

call for a paramedic, or 

the report of a break-in. Or 

maybe you were driving a 

little too fast on Green Bay 

Road. 

For 29 years, Neimark 

has answered the call in his 

capacity as a certified police 

officer, firefighter and 

medical first responder to 

keep the residents of Glencoe, 

their homes and their 

community safe. Now, as 

he prepares to retire on July 

31, he wants to thank everyone 

for their support. 

“It’s been a great 29-anda-half 

years. I’ve loved 

it here,” Neimark said. 

“Glencoe is a beautiful 

community. The residents 

are very supportive of public 

safety and everybody on 

the department.” 

Neimark, 53, joined the 

department in 1990. In his 

first two years, he completed 

basic level training at the 

Chicago Police Academy, 

Highland Park Hospital’s 

paramedic program and 

the Arlington Heights Fire 

Academy. Over the years, 

he has held positions on the 

dive team, Dive 3 Haz Mat 

Team, arson investigator, 

fire inspector, paramedic 

and PS lieutenant. On July 

4, he conducted his 30th 

and final fireworks inspection 

for the village’s show 

that night. 

The Public Safety Department 

was established in 

1954 when Glencoe combined 

the police and fire departments 

into one single, 

cross-trained department 

and is one of only two departments 

in the state that 

operates this way. Neimark 

wouldn’t have wanted it 

any other way. 

“I love this setup. It 

works great for us. Everybody 

has to be able to do 

everything at a moment’s 

notice. We just had storms 

roll through, fallen trees, 

dropped power lines. Everybody 

was swapping 

back and forth between 

fire and police. No matter 

what we are doing, we 

can switch. We all carry out 

turnout gear in the back of 

our cars and we become 

firefighters,” he said. 

Lt. Mike Neimark will 

retire from Glencoe’s 

Public Safety Department 

at the end of July. Photo

It helps, he added, that 

“one minute you can be 

writing them a ticket but 

the next minute you are 

coming to save their life if 

they have a medical emergency. 

They know it is the 

same person, and we have a 

lot better rapport with them 

because of that.” 

The fact that everyone in 

the department is trained as 

a paramedic is of particular 

importance, Neimark said. 

“We can get a paramedic 

who is on the street to the 

scene of the medical emergency 

a lot quicker than 

waiting for the ambulance 

because we may have a 

paramedic a block away. 

They can be there and begin 

treatment with what 

they have in their cars,” he 

said. 

Each squad car, he noted, 

carries a full first aid kit and 

an automated external defibrillator 

(AED). 

“It has been proven that 

the faster you get it there 

the better off a person is. 

For every minute of delay 

to get an AED to somebody 

their chance of survival 

drops by 10 percent, so by 

having one out on the street 

with trained people is a lot 

better for the residents,” he 

said. 

Being crossed trained 

and prepared for anything 

also “keeps the job from 

getting monotonous,” he 

said. 

One day that was anything 

but monotonous involved 

a call to a house fire 

on Vernon Avenue in Winnetka, 

where the first floor 

was fully in flames. He 

and another member of the 

squad had raced to the second 

floor to check to make 

sure no one was up there, 

but had to crawl along 

the floor to do so because 

dense smoke was already 

below knee level. 

“The sub-floor burned 

out underneath of us and 

we were on carpet and we 

just kept sinking, sinking, 

sinking. That was a very 

scary thought, thinking 

that you could fall into the 

fire below us. We had to 

high-tail it out of there before 

we fell through,” said 

Neimark, who has received 

eight commendations for 

service way above and beyond, 

and many more letters 

of recognition. 

It’s the camaraderie Neimark 

is going to miss the 

most. 

“It’s going to be hard,” 

he said. 

Every three months their 

shifts change, and he makes 

it a point to go out for dinner 

with his new group and 

their spouses. 

“Everybody gets to know 

everybody that way, and 

everybody seems to enjoy 

it. We try not to talk about 

work and mostly focus on 

outside-of-work issues and 

meeting each other,” he 

added. 

The department of 36 is 

currently comprised of a 

chief, two deputy chiefs, 

seven lieutenants and 26 

public safety officers. 

There is a special kind of 

camaraderie, not just in 

the smaller squads, but 

amongst the entire group 

as well, said Neimark. 

Older veterans are teaching 

younger department 

members the ropes, while 

younger tech-savvy members 

are helping the older 

ones become comfortable 

with the department’s increasingly 

computer-based 

operations. 

“It is really nice having 

the millennials here to help 

with a lot of that,” he said. 

Neimark’s vaunted 

cooking skills may soon 

be missed, particularly 

during his Saturday breakfasts. 

His specialty: “royal

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Doors near school 

entrances to receive 

electronic locks 

An added sense of security 

will soon be coming 

to District 28 schools. 

District officials announced 

last month that 

doors near the front entrances 

of its schools will 

receive electronic locks 

this summer. 

Meadowbrook is slated 

to receive its security improvements 

during renovations 

scheduled to take 

place during summer 

break. Electronic locks 

will be added to the main 

office doors, limiting access 

to the school’s main 

hall only to those who 

have checked in and are 

buzzed in by the main office, 

according to District 

28 officials. 

District parent Collen 

Milks, whose husband 

has served as the Village 

of Glencoe’s police chief, 

addressed the District 28 

Board of Education about 

security concerns during 

the public comment portion 

of the last two meetings. 

Milks expressed concerns 

about doors leading 

to the main hallways of 

both NBJH and Meadowbrook 

not having secure 

locks. She mentioned an 

occasion earlier this summer 

where she was buzzed 

in with little attentiveness 

from the person manning 

the front desk. 

In response to Milks’ 

comments made at the 

May board meeting, District 

28 Superintendent 

Dr. Larry A. Hewitt told 

The Tower the electronic 

locks will require the 

school administrative assistant 

to buzz visitors in.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Glenview police searching 

for missing 20-year-old 

man 

The Glenview Police 

Department is asking for 

help finding a 20-yearold 

Glenview man who 

“may be suffering from 

depression,” according to 

a release from the department. 

Nicholas Zwolinski 

was reported missing on 

July 1 by his parents after 

telling his mother he 

was going for a walk that 

afternoon. He has not returned 

home and left his 

wallet and cell phone, the 

release states. 

Zwolinski was last seen 

at 3 p.m. July 1 leaving 

his home in the 700 block 

of Beaver Road in the Village, 

according to police. 

He was wearing a gray 

T-shirt and black shorts. 

Zwolinski is 5 feet, 10 

inches tall and has brown 

hair and a short beard, the 

release states. 

Sgt. Jim Foley said 

Glenview police officers 

and detectives have 

been searching through 

local woods with the 

aid of drones, knocking 

on neighbors’ doors and 

checking at hospitals and 

with friends in an effort 

to find Zwolinski, but 

“we haven’t found anything.” 

Zwolinski is known to 

frequent local parks and 

the Blue Star Woods, according 

to police. 

The department is also 

following up on every tip 

it receives about Zwolinski, 

Foley said July 3. 

“We’re really exhausting 

every resource we 

have available right 

now,” Foley said.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

Mosquitoes test positive 

for West Nile virus in 

Highland Park 

A batch of mosquitoes 

sampled on June 13 in 

Highland Park has tested 

positive for West Nile virus. 

The batch, also known 

as a mosquito pool, is the 

first confirmed indicator 

of West Nile presence in 

Lake County in 2019. 

“In 2018, there were 

eight human cases of West 

Nile virus, including one 

death confirmed in Lake 

County,” said Mark Pfister, 

executive director for 

the Lake County Health 

Department and Community 

Health Center. 

“Residents need to take 

action, practicing the 4 

Ds of Defense to protect 

themselves from mosquito 

bites.” 

“Culex pipiens mosquitoes, 

which are the primary 

carriers of West Nile 

virus, are most abundant 

in mid- to late summer, 

when the weather is hot,” 

said Michael Adam, senior 

biologist for the Health 

Department. “Residents 

can help prevent these 

mosquitoes from breeding 

by eliminating areas of 

stagnant water from their 

properties — items like 

buckets, gutters and plant 

containers, kiddie pools, 

and any other items holding 

water around homes 

and businesses — can become 

breeding sites.” 

The Lake County Health 

Department’s Mosquito 

Surveillance Program coordinates 

mosquito-trapping 

results throughout 

Lake County. Mosquitoes 

are tested weekly for West 

Nile virus.

City Girl Confessions 

Everything is under construction 

Kelly Anderson 

Contributing Columnist 

I 

must get better at 

waiting. My personality 

has never 

been amenable to the 

art of patience. Even as 

an adult, I’m constantly 

working on it. And there 

is no greater test of 

patience than summer 

road construction in the 

Midwest. 

Given that the winter 

cold lingers for far too 

many months, community 

improvements are 

all crammed into June, 

July and August. Orange 

cones are everywhere. 

Roads are blocked off. 

Commute times are 

doubled. Lately, I’ve 

found myself stranded at 

intersections, creeping 

along in gridlock traffic, 

and rerouted on detours 

because of closures, expansions 

and the like. 

Annoyingly enough, 

this is fitting. For I, too, 

am under construction, 

as I continue to rebuild 

parts of my heart and 

mind after the death of 

my dog. I am helping my 

kids renovate the emotions 

they carry when 

they come across a dog 

leash and remember that 

there is no dog to walk. 

I am rebuilding all of the 

broken parts that arrive 

in the aftermath of sudden 

tragedy. Sometimes 

I feel like a construction 

worker, wearing a hard 

hat and orange vest, waving 

flags that indicate, 

“Proceed with caution.” 

There are some frustrating 

parallels. Just 

trying merging onto the 

highway by Waukegan 

Road, only to see that, 

due to construction, it’s 

been restricted to one 

lane of traffic. A highway, 

notorious for highspeed 

travel, has now 

been forced to change, 

reroute, and slow down. 

It’s doing what is necessary 

to get through a 

difficult time. 

I feel like that highway. 

I am used to a 

go-go-GO life yet I have 

been forced to change, 

reroute and slowdown. I

It’s about facing a sad

Great to see new Fourth of July traditions 

Megan Bernard 


This year’s Fourth 

of July was extra 

special for the Village 

of Glencoe. 

Not only was the 

Village marking Independence 

Day on July 4, 

but it had an expanded 

celebration with the Glencoe 

Park District for its 

sesquicentennial anniversary. 

It was great to see so 

many residents participate 

in the day’s kickoff: 

a Rotary 2-Mile Fun 

Run through the town in 

the morning. The holiday 

fun continued with 

preschool games and mini 

golf at Kalk Park and 

the Glencoe’s Got Talent 

show. Then there was the 

afternoon parade, which 

invited residents to follow 

it to Lakefront Park, 

where there was plenty 

of activities awaiting 

them. Those included: 

beer and wine sales, food 

trucks, inflatables, races, 

a dunk tank that featured 

Village Manager Phil 

Kiraly and Glencoe Park 

District’s Superintendent 

Lisa Sheppard, live music 

by Serendipity and The 

Blooze Brothers, and 

Glencoe’s largest-ever 


During the celebration, 

Craig Eisner, of the Glencoe 

Men’s Library Club, 

told our reporter, Ronnie 

Wachter, that ending 

the parade at Lakefront 

Park was “a wonderful 

addition” — and I have 

to agree. Another resident 

remarked that this year’s 

parade had the most floats 

he’s ever seen. 

With the afternoon 

parade and additional 

nighttime activities, it 

was evident that more 

residents wanted to stay 

in town for their celebration 

of the Fourth and 

their hometown, Glencoe. 

I’m sure that it took “a 

village” to put together 

this event, so I would like 

to commend everyone for 

a job well done! Perhaps 

next year, we could continue 

the new traditions?

Wilmette’s Actors 

Training Center assists 

college-bound actors with 

new program 

The Actors Training 

Center in Wilmette is piloting 

a new program at 

the end of this summer 

aimed at helping young 

actors apply to college 

theater departments and 

conservatories. 

The program, called the 

College Audition Clinic, 

will offer a holistic approach 

to the college audition 

process and provide 

professional assistance in 

managing this process. 

Carole Dibo, the founder 

of the Actors Training 

Center, said the idea for 

the clinic started a decade 

ago. 

“Ten years ago, Rachel 

Brosnahan, who is now 

the lead in the ‘Marvelous 

Mrs. Maisel,’ came 

to me looking for help 

to get into college and to 

help her choose the right 

monologue for her audition,” 

Dibo said.

fluttered, goosebumps 

dotted my skin and it was 

as if a voice whispered 

that life would still go 

on. And isn’t that true? 

Life always goes on. 

After every tragic event 

or bad day, there is another 

day that comes. A 

day where people walk, 

breathe and exist. A day 

when the sun rises. 

I’ll confess: maybe I 

was wrong. Maybe I am 

under construction but 

perhaps I’m not the highway. 

Perhaps I am the 

worker in the hard hat

flags. But maybe instead 

of “proceed with caution,” 

perhaps the message 

I’m really sharing 

is “keep going, it gets 

better up ahead.”

Four New Trier alumnae create platform for custom landscape plans 

Libby Elliott 


We call them “disrupters.” 

They’re the tech-driven 

businesses like Uber, 

Airbnb and Netflix that 

displace established market 

leaders and radically 

change the way a product 

is delivered or consumed, 

from hailing a taxi, to 

booking a hotel, to watching 

to TV. 

Now, disrupters are 

changing the world of 

landscape design. 

Launched in February 

2019 by four New Trier 

graduates, the website 

tilly-design.com uses a 

simple online platform 

to deliver custom landscape 

plans for outdoor 

spaces, eliminating costly 

face-to-face meetings and 

challenging an industry 

that hasn’t innovated in 

decades. 

“Up until now, there’s 

typically been only two 

angles in the landscaping 

industry,” said Tilly cofounder 

and Winnetkanative 

Blythe Yost, a New 

York-based landscape architect 

with 15 years experience 

in landscape design 

businesses. “There’s 

the mow-and-blow guy or 

the high-end landscape architect 

with big ideas that 

cost big money. There’s 

nothing for your average 

customer that’s cost effective.” 

Yost’s three additional 

co-founders, Sarah Finazzo 

and Alexis Sutton, 

both from Wilmette, and 

Heather Hoeppner, a 

A landscape design by TillyDesign.com, a company 

created by New Trier graduates. Photo submitted 

Glencoe native, remained 

close friends after graduating 

from New Trier 

in 2001. The foursome 

hatched the business plan 

for Tilly last year during 

their annual summer 

friendship reunion with 

husbands and children. 

While the price of a 

traditional landscape architect 

generally ranges 

from $2,000 to $7,000- 

plus before plant materials 

and installation, Tilly 

offers four discrete design 

packages: The Mini ($95), 

The Front ($275), The 

Back ($375) and The Full 

($575) for a redesign of an 

entire yard. 

“Through initial research 

and testing, we’ve 

seen that especially the 

millennial demographic 

— who are now entering 

homeownership by the 

masses — are extremely 

receptive to digital design 

and service,” Yost 

said. “Being online is the 

norm.” 

Tilly co-founders use a 

web-based, streamlined 

process to engage with 

homeowners without 

time-consuming, in-person 

meetings. 

After completing a 

high-level intake questionnaire 

on the company’s 

website, customers 

purchase a design package 

before moving into a 

deeper space assessment 

based on detailed photos 

and a property survey. 

A video-based personal 

consultation offers Tilly 

the chance to get to know 

their customers’ lifestyles 

and familiarize themselves 

with a home’s indoor and 

outdoor spaces, whether 

its new construction or a 

renovation project. 

After a bit of back and 

forth, Tilly provides customers 

with a detailed, 

scaled landscaping plan 

along with a shopping list 

and detailed installation 

instructions. 

“Our primary focus is 

plants,” Yost said. “We

100-plus artists display botanical-themed work at garden 

Alexa Burnell 


The already picturesque 

Chicago Botanic Garden 

received an extra splash of 

color and creativity during 

the ninth annual Botanic 

Garden Art Festival, Friday-Sunday, 

July 5-7. 

Produced by Amdur 

Productions, the juried 

event welcomed 103 artists 

from across the nation, 

decorating the grounds 

with works of art featuring 

a nature or botanical 

theme. 

Amdur’s director of art 

relations Caitlin Pfleger 

explained the careful consideration 

that goes into 

choosing the right artists 

for the prestigious festival. 

“What we look for is 

creativity, technique and 

a comprehensive thought 

put into each piece submitted. 

For this particular 

festival, submissions must 

reflect a natural, organic 

or botanical theme. We 

seek professional pieces of 

work, ranging from jewelry 

and paintings to photography 

and sculptures,” 

Pfleger said. 

This year, Pfleger pointed 

out the impressive 

amount of garden sculptures 

on display, complimenting 

the “breathtaking” 

grounds of the 

Botanic Garden. 

“This truly is one of 

the most idyllic settings, 

because it is simply so 

beautiful. We appreciate 

working with the Botanic 

Garden staff because they 

have just as much passion 

about the grounds as we 

do about art. It’s a perfect 

partnership,” Pfleger 

added. 

Similarly, Jodi Zombolo, 

associate vice president 

of visitor events and 

programs for the garden, 

explained how the annual 

art festival brings an extra 

special feel each and every 

year. 

“The festival allows us 

to engage our visitors with 

a special experience, offering 

another unique way 

to enjoy the beauty of the 

garden,” Zombolo said. 

“What I most love about 

this festival is seeing artist 

showcase their unique 

ways of interpreting the 

use of nature and horticulture 

in their respective 

work. There is always 

something new and interesting 

to see.” 

Zombolo added that on 

any given typical beautiful 

summer afternoon, the 

garden can expect to entertain 

5,000 visitors. On 

the weekend of the festival, 

she estimates that about 

80 percent of those guests 

also visit the various artist 

booths. 

For Peter Thaddeus, 

an acrylic painter from 

Warrenville, the foot traffic 

is always among the most 

appreciated. 

“I present in a variety 

of art festivals each year 

and always appreciate the 

amount of festivalgoers 

here at the Botanic Garden. 

People come to see 

all aspects of the gardens, 

so it keeps them lingering 

longer. I always feel like I 

get a chance to get to know 

visitors well, allowing 

me to tell them about my 

animal-inspired, colorful, 

themed paintings. What I 

want my work to convey 

most is love, acceptance 

and an appreciation for 

human differences. I want 

guests to feel uplifted after 

seeing my work,” Thaddeus 

said.

of Skokie, presented her

of elegant forms 

of nature which is her true 

inspiration. 

“I really appreciate the 

diverse crowd; not only are 

there artists from all over 

the nation, but the visitors 

are all so unique and come 

from near and far for this 

weekend,” Floriano said. 

“More than anything, these 

grounds provide a wonderful 

setting and there is a 

shared love among us all 

for nature.”

yard looking to create a 

cohesive front lawn,” Finazzo 

said. 

Raised vegetable beds 

and pollinator gardens are 

also increasingly popular, 

says Yost, as homeowners 

are growing more ecologically 

conscious. 

Tilly’s four female cofounders 

are also determined 

to upend an industry 

that’s traditionally been 

the sole domain of men. 

‘The landscaping business 

is 83 percent male,” 

Finazzo said. “We’re 

proud to be a femaleowned 

business, especially 

now that we’re all moms.” 

Spread out between 

New York, Denver and 

Chicago, these business 

partners are juggling family 

and work commitments 

in addition to launching 

Tilly. Nonetheless, they 

still make time to reconnect 

and reminisce. 

“The beauty of the 

North Shore is something 

we try to replicate with 

our designs,” Finazzo 

said. “Having grown up 

near parks and beaches, 

we know how important it 

is to maximize life just by 

being outside.”

Aboyer a ‘lively’ contribution to Winnetka culinary scene 

Erin Yarnall 

Contributing Editor 

After 14 years in business, 

chef and restaurateur 

Michael Lachowicz decided 

to close the door on his 

Winnetka restaurant, Restaurant 

Michael. 

Instead of packing up 

shop and moving elsewhere 

when his restaurant closed, 

Lachowicz transformed the 

former Restaurant Michael 

into three unique restaurants 

— Aboyer, Silencieux 

and George Trois (which 

was opened in 2015). 

Aboyer, according to 

Lachowicz, is the most accessible 

of the three restaurants. 

With the restaurant’s 

proximity to the kitchen, 

it’s aptly named after the 

French word for “to bark.” 

“The reason I named 

Aboyer ‘the barker’ is because 

the barker in the 

French brigade system in 

the kitchen is the expediter,” 

Lachowicz said. “The 

expediter barks out orders 

all night long.” 

With all three of Lachowicz’s 

Winnetka restaurants 

housed in the same 

building, Aboyer is centerstage, 

and because of its 

positioning, tends to be the 

liveliest. 

“[The name] implies that 

it’s going to be lively,” Lachowicz 

said. “It’s going 

to be louder and it’s going 

to be more of a raucous 

scene.” 

He wanted it to take after 

French brasseries, which he 

described as “an elevated 

bistro service.” 

“Bistros were traditionally 

known to be very traditional, 

everyday places. 

It’s like ‘Cheers,’” where

everyone knows diners’ 

names. Lachowicz said. 

“A brasserie is an elevated 

version of that, with more 

of an escalated-style menu 

and prices.” 

Last week, a group of 

22nd Century Media editors 

stopped by Aboyer to 

meet Lachowicz and check 

out his new restaurant’s 

menu. 

Aboyer’s rabbit and sage sausage ($13) is served over 

charred savoy cabbage and white quinoa with finger 

limes and topped with serrano ham crisps. Jason 

Addy/22nd Century Media 

Lachowicz and his staff 

served us up some of his favorites 

on the menu, along 

with several other items. 

They first brought us the 

confit new potato brandade 

($10) — a French dish 

that’s an emulsion of cod 

and olive oil. The dish was 

served with an aerated garlic 

bechamel, black sea salt 

and grilled garlic croutons. 

“That’s a super classic 

dish,” Lachowicz said. 

“It’s classic bistro brasserie 

because it’s great for 

communal eating and bar 

dining and beer- and winefriendly. 

It’s communal. 

You can dip and talk, and 

it sits and holds. As it cools 

off, it doesn’t disappear. It’s 

delicious.” 

Another of Lachowicz’s 

favorite dishes is the 

rabbit and sage sausage 

($13), which is served with 

a charred savoy cabbage 

confit, white quinoa, finger 

lime and serrano ham 

crisps. 

“The rabbit sausage is a 

beautiful dish,” Lachowicz 

said. “We make all of 

the sausage here and we 

bring in whole rabbits. We 

butcher them down and use 

the bones to make sauce. 

We use the rabbit meat to 

make sausages. We braise 

the legs and thighs and 

we take the saddle and 

loins to make the sausage 

meat. We season them 

and they’re aged properly. 

They’re crisp on the grill 

and they’re lovely.”

10 Questions 

with Artie Collins 

The Loyola graduate will 

play college football next 

season at Johns Hopkins 

University. 

When did you first 

start playing football? 

So my first game of 

tackle football was in fifth 

grade, but I started playing 

football, like flag, all 

the way back in I would 

say kindergarten. My dad 

is a huge football guy, he 

grew up in Florida, so he 

lives and breathes football, 

so he just passed that along 

to me, and I loved it ever 

since. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I’m the fourth of my 

name, so I’m the fourth 

Artie Collins, the fourth 

generation Artie Collins. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

it be? 

I would say Africa on a 

safari, because I’ve always 

interested in exotic animals, 

and I feel like that’d 

be the coolest thing. 

If you cold have one 

meal for the rest of 

your life, what would 

it be, and where 

would it be from? 

I would say the Portillo’s 

Italian beef. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during, or after a 

game? 

Yeah. So me, Rory 

Boos, Nolan West, and 

Jack Fallon, so three of 

my teammates, we have a 

team dinner every Friday, 

and we had this whole routine 

in our car about where 

we sat, and what music we 

played before going to every 

team dinner, and it was 

a huge deal, and that was 

our superstition. We had to 

do it right every time. 

What’s the hardest 

part about playing 

football? 

The summer grind. Just 

to practice everyday in the 

heat. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

22nd Century Media File Photo 

would it be? 

I would play baseball, 

because I quit baseball going 

into junior year to focus 

on football, but I love 

playing it still. 

What’s one song 

that’s on your 

playlist? 

Our song for the car ride 

was “Swag Surfin.” 

If you had five dollars 

at Walgreens, what 

would you buy? 

I’d buy some Sour Patch 

Kids and a Gatorade. 

What was your 

favorite memory at 

Loyola? 

Definitely winning the 

state championship.

The Varsity: North Shore Podcast 

Guys start talk of bracket for best current player 

Staff Report 

In this week’s episode 

of The Varsity: North 

Shore, the only podcast 

focused on North Shore 

sports, hosts Michal 

Dwojak, Michael Wojtychiw 

and Nick Frazier do 

something different. With 

the summer taking its full 

effect in July, the guys 

decide to make a bracket 

of the best current North 

Shore athletes competing 

at the professional level. 

The guys spend this episode 

talking about talking 

about who should 

enter the 16-team field 

and which seeding they 

should receive.

First Quarter 

The three start off the 

episode talking about who 

will enter as the teams 

overall No. 1 seed and 

who barely makes it into 

the dance. 

Second Quarter 

The guys move on to 

the second quarter of the 

bracket, where they argue 

who should be considered 

backs. So all that, just from 

knowing each other, and 

playing with each other for 

so long.” 

Collins played on the 

varsity squad the last two 

years and was moved up 

to the varsity for the playoffs 

his sophomore season, 

so he’s been a member of 

three consecutive statechampionship 

appearances, 

including this past 

fall’s state title team. 

After starting the season 

3-3, the Ramblers rattled 

off eight wins in a row to 

end the season as champions, 

knocking off Maine 

South and Lincoln-Way 

East, the two teams who 

had beaten the Ramblers 

in the previous two state 

titles games, as well as 

Brother Rice, who had 

crew had a shot at a medal 

when the rowers posted the 

fastest time in the time trials 

on the first day of racing. 

Culver called the result, 

achieved by four sophomore 

rowers and one junior, “a remarkable 

accomplishment 

for such a young crew.” 

The sole junior in the 

boat, Diana Paduraru- 

Iovaanescu, said, “Every 

single girl in my boat had 

the same priorities: to go 

fast and be the absolute 

best we could be. I have 

never been part of a crew 

that has been so serious 

the second-best. 

Third Quarter 

They move on to the 

third quarter of the bracket, 

where they’ll find the hardest 

matchups will show up. 

Fourth Quarter 

The Varsity’s hosts finish 

the bracket off with 

the last portion and decide 

who the last No. 1 seed 

should be. 

beat the Ramblers in the 

regular season, in the last 

three playoff rounds. 

Being able to defeat 

those three teams consecutively 

made the title win 

even sweeter. 

“It was just a dream 

come true,” he said. “Completing 

with all my best 

friends, and just having a 

storybook ending like that 

was just ... I couldn’t explain 

it in words.” 

and mature but also has 

such fun-loving energy.” 

She praised Coach Sandy

Collins overcomes odds to play at next level 


Sports Editor 

Artie Collins never really 

thought he was going 

to play football in college. 

After playing on the 

Freshman B team, playing 

at the next level is something 

that didn’t look to be 

in the cards. 

“During that time, I 

definitely didn’t think I 

was playing, because ... 

there’s few [players] every 

year that start on varsity 

that were on B team, but 

I didn’t know about being 

one of them,” Collins said. 

“But then by junior year, I 

played somewhat, and then 

I started getting some looks 

going into senior year that 

summer, so that started 

probably going into senior 

year that summer, that I really 

started thinking I could 

play in college.” 

Collins will get that opportunity 

now after signing 

with Johns Hopkins 

University during the 

spring signing period. 

The Glenview resident 

will head to Baltimore 

after having a successful 

senior season that saw him 

earn a spot on the Team 22 

Second Team and an All- 

Chicago Catholic League 

Blue honor this past fall. 

One of the likely reasons 

for that is that he became 

one of quarterback Jack 

Fallon’s favorite targets 

down the final stretch of 

the season. 

“It was really nice, because 

Jack, when he came 

back, his shoulder was still 

hurting a little bit, so he 

was just trying to get in 

a groove with things, but 

then once we started clicking 

a lot, they were always 

looking at Rory (Boos), so 

I had to step my game up,” 

he said. “He was looking 

at me a lot, because 

they’d often do a safety 

over Rory, or something 

like that, so we were trying 

to be multidimensional, 

Loyola alumnus Artie Collins will be playing college football at Johns Hopkins 

University next season. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

just have me on one side, 

Rory on the other, and just 

give both sides ... because 

the defense was giving me 

more of the opportunity 

and we were just making 

the most of them.” 

Collins, Fallon and Boos 

actually have quite the history 

as they are three of 

over 10 players on this 

past year’s Loyola varsity 

squad that all played 

at Our Lady of Perpetual 

Help together since the 

fifth grade. 

In fact, even when Fallon 

was out with his injury 

at the beginning of 

the year, Collins and Boos 

were being fed the ball by 

another one of their grade 

school teammates, Matthew 

Schiltz. 

Having that history and 

that comfort with each 

other is something Collins 

feels helped not only him, 

but the entire squad this 

season. 

“So it did help a lot, especially 

with me personally, 

because Jack Fallon 

and Matt Schiltz, who 

were our two quarterbacks 

this year, were both 

from OLPH, so I knew 

them since I was like six, 

and then Rory Boos is the 

other receiver going to college. 

I’ve known him since 

I was like three,” Collins 

said. “It’s really cool just 

chemistry-wise, while 

playing football, but also 

I could hold them accountable, 

and we could correct 

each other, and do all that, 

without getting mad. We 

knew we had each other’s

Regina names Mancuso athletic director 


Sports Editor 

Brian Mancuso has 

been an athletic director 

for over a decade. Born 

and raised in Terre Haute, 

Ind., he spent nearly eight 

years as the athletic director 

and over four years 

as the assistant athletic 

director at Terre Haute 

South Vigo High School 

before spending the last 

two months as the interim 

assistant athletic director 

at Lake Forest High 

School. 

Now he’ll be taking his 

talents to Wilmette after 

being named Regina Dominican’s 

new athletic director. 

Mancuso replaces 

Tom Marcum, who had 

been at the helm for three 

years and now moves over 

to Lisle High School to be 

that school’s athletic director. 

“I’ve been an athletic 

director and always have 

had a love of sport,” he 

said. “I wanted to continue 

what I was doing 

and I’ve obviously been 

attracted to the area, it’s 

a great area, lots of great 

people. Very friendly. So, 

I think I love those things 

and the more I learn about 

the routine and the community, 

the more I’m impressed 

and I think it’s a 

great fit. 

“People I talked to up 

here and friends from the 

area all said really good 

things about Regina.” 

Mancuso’s old school 

is pretty much the opposite 

of Regina — a co-ed 

school of over 1,800 students, 

compared to Regina’s 

girls-only, 544-student 

population — but he 

doesn’t feel it will be that 

much of a change or difference. 

“I think all schools 

have their unique cultures 

and their challenges,” 

he said. “I think one of 

the things that’s attractive 

about Regina is the 

fact you can meet and 

understand the kids, and 

see more kids, you know 

and see kind of how they 

progress. In a school of 

1,800, it’s a little bit harder 

to develop relationships 

with kids.” 

At Regina, Mancuso 

will look to build on the 

things Marcum laid the 

foundation on. 

This past year, the 

school improved some of 

its athletic facilities, including 

playing the first 

softball, soccer and lacrosse 

games on school 

grounds. Previously, the 

Panthers had used fields at 

Techny Towers in Northbrook 

as their home fields 

during the spring. 

“It’s a win-win,” Mancuso 

said, “First of all, 

for our student athletes, 

the fact that they do, 

they play at home in 

front of their town, their 

community, their fans. I 

think it’s going to benefit 

for them. 

“Also, since they’re at 

home they’re not traveling 

and I know our student 

athletes have a lot of 

other interests, and this 

will allow them to focus 

more time on their clubs 

and their studies, maybe 

some things outside of 

sports. I’m really excited 

for the opportunity to continue 

to host.” 

Mancuso moved to the 

area after getting engaged 

and to be closer to his fiance, 

who lives in Highland 

Park. He mentioned 

that the area is one of the 

things that enticed him 

to leave the state he had 

grown up in. 

Mancuso admits that although 

moving from one 

state’s athletic association 

to another might be 

tricky, sports are sports. 

Some of the main differences 

are that some sports 

sanctioned by the IHSA 

aren’t sanctioned as official 

sports in Indiana and 

that some sports’ seasons 

are different in the two 

states. 

However, he’s developed 

a vision, one that he 

feels will help the Panthers 

continue to have 

success. 

“I think number one, I 

think we need to increase 

our website and social 

media presence and get 

our name out, and then 

to continue to help in the 

area, and provide safe 

and quality opportunities 

for girls to play sports,” 

he said. “I think both of 

those things ... I think we 

need to continue to teach 

schools in the classroom 

and then outside the classroom, 

which will allow 

our population to go on 

and go to a collegiate atmosphere 

and be students, 

and be leaders; basically 

allow them an opportunity 

to grow.”

“It’s awesome, I love 

Miss Mac,” Hielscher. 

“She’s like such a second 

mother to me in a way. 

I’ve just known her from 

being a student, and then 

from working at New Trier, 

and coaching at New 

Trier. 

“So having her back 

and now we harass her as 

much as she used to harass 

us. No running in softball. 

We make her run over and 

coach us at third base. It’s 

been a riot.” 

It’s been special for Mc- 

Namara as well. 

“I have to admit I’m 

very blessed,” she said. 

“Everybody takes care of 

me. 

“I tell them ‘people 

don’t like us already because 

we’re so good. So 

don’t get up there and take 

a walk. Hit it! 

“It’s neat to see all of 

them still playing together, 

but they are so skilled. 

To watch them play all of 

their positions, really they 

do well. They really do 

well.” 

McNamara’s statement 

about the team being really 

good is true. While 

nobody could truly remember 

the exact number 

of titles the team has 

won in the past 10 years, 

some believed the team 

has won the title eight or 

nine times, with the only 

loss in the title game they 

could remember was being 

five years ago when 

the Mother Truckers fell 

to Girls Night Out. 

The Mother Truckers 

finished the regular season 

11-0 and scored no 

fewer than 11 runs in each 

of their six wins. Thanks 

to their perfect regular 

season record, they earned 

the top overall seed in the 

league’s playoffs, which 

started July 9. That game, 

unfortunately was after 

this paper’s deadline. 

However, if the Mother 

Truckers win on July 9, 

they would play for the 

league title at 7 p.m. on 

July 16 at Field #2 of the 

Skokie Playfields. 

Win or lose though, it’s 

all about the game and 

spending time together. 

“(Playing with) Some 

of the women that were 

a little older than us, that 

we’ve heard about as softball 

players but didn’t get 

the chance to play with at 

New Trier has been fun,” 

Hielscher said. “Every 

year, I mean, we’re still 

hitting home runs, and 

making double plays, and 

competing so it’s great. 

It feels like ... You feel 

young again.”

Love of softball keeps local team together 

Michael Wojtychiw, Sports Editor 

The Mother Truckers, one of 

the teams in the Winnetka Park 

District’s Women’s 12-inch 

softball league that plays Tuesday 

nights from May to July, are 

a prime example of friends who 

continue to play a sport they’ve 

loved all of their lives. 

The team, which has been in 

the league for the past 10 seasons, 

came into the league as 

mostly New Trier graduates, 

many of whom played high 

school softball together and 

still continued their friendships, 

even as they became adults, got 

married and had kids. 

But not even those life events 

could stop the women of the 

Mother Truckers from playing 

the game they’ve loved for so 

long. 

“Softball is such a fun sport 

because it’s so social,” Katie 

Hielscher said. “It’s just an excuse 

to hang out with each other 

for a couple months a year and 

have fun, compete, hopefully 

win. Just laugh and enjoy each 

other’s company.” 

Hielscher and Amy Swartchild, 

who have been friends 

since they were kids, have both 

played since they graduated 

from college, coming up from 

the city to play for a team The 

Crushers, who eventually became 

too big and the Mother 

Truckers were born. The majority 

of those initial Mother 

Trucker squads was made up 

of New Trier graduates with a 

sprinkling of other local high 

school friends or others that 

they knew had played softball. 

Swartchild got an early introduction 

to softball, attending her 

mom’s games when her mom 

played in a women’s league in 

Highland Park. Coincidentally, 

that team’s name was also the 

Mother Truckers. However, unlike 

her mom’s team, the current 

Mother Truckers team wasn’t 

sponsored by a trucking company. 

“I do have a memory of being 

at games, so it was fun for me 

... she’s always been an athlete, 

not necessarily a softball player, 

but was in this league,” she said. 

“It was fun to be able to name 

the team after her.” 

The size of the league has 

fluctuated since the group 

started playing, ranging from 

as many as eight teams to what 

was almost a devastating season 

this year. 

Just weeks before the season 

was to start, the league was 

stuck at three teams but luckily a 

team from Evanston, The Bundt

Cakes, jumped in last minute 

and the league could go on. If 

The Bundt Cakes hadn’t joined 

the league, it would have been 

the first time there wouldn’t be 

a league in 20 years. 

“That would have been 

devastating to us because we 

wouldn’t be able to get together 

on a Tuesday night and laugh 

and have fun together,” said 

Kerry Stinchcomb, of Northbrook, 

another one of the New 

Trier grads who has been with 

the squad for the entire run. 

When the league had eight 

teams, every team wouldn’t 

play any teams multiple times 

and there would be more competition 

in the league. 

Even though the league is 

smaller now than it has been in 

years past, Swartchild says it 

makes for as good of an experience 

as ever. 

“Yes, we need more teams, 

Lic. 055-004618 

but one of the good things is 

that you know the players on 

the other teams now,” she said. 

“You can be friendly with them. 

It’s competitive but we know 

them, talk to them, we can laugh 

together.” 

One thing that hasn’t changed 

for the New Trier grads is the 

presence of Miss Mac. Jane 

“Miss Mac” McNamara, the 

longtime New Trier educator, 

coach, advisor and pioneer for 

women’s sports at the school, 

actually coached many of the 

Mother Truckers either in volleyball, 

softball or had them in 

class. 

A couple years ago, Stinchomb 

ran into Miss Mac at 

a local church event, told her 

about the softball team and that 

they play every Tuesday at the 

Skokie Playfields. McNamara 

told her she’d be at their next 

game and low and behold, when 

the Mother Truckers played 

a couple days later, there was 

Miss Mac at the Playfields to 

watch her former players play. 

She’s been to every game since. 

“She’s hilarious,” Swartchild 

said. “She’s the best. Tough as 

nails.” 

This year Miss Mac took to

Gary Larsen 


One of the odd benefits 

for a pitcher sitting out due 

to illness is a rested pitching 

arm, a benefit that Wilmette’s 

Jack Liepert used 

for all it was worth against 

Highland Park. 

Liepert tossed five innings 

of perfect no-hit 

baseball against the Giants 

in an 11-0 win for Wilmette, 

in a Connie Mack 

league game on Monday, 

July 1 in Wilmette. 

“I had a break with a sinus 

infection so I was out 

for a while, and my arm 

felt pretty good today,” 

Liepert said. “It was mostly 

fastballs and my location 

was on.” 

Liepert’s perfect game 

came in the first game of 

a doubleheader between 

the Waves and Giants. He 

struck out five and did not 

yield a walk in the win. 

Wilmette’s Avery Chatterton 

had two hits and 

two RBI, Alex Calarco had 

three RBI, and Eddie Harvey 

had a two-RBI triple 

in the Game 1 win. 

Wilmette also won the 

second game in five innings 

by a score of 14-4, 

with pitcher Harvey collecting 

the win and the 

Waves using an eight-run 

third inning to pull away 

from Highland Park. 

“We ran the bases pretty 

well, had a couple two-out 

hits, and we obviously had 

really good pitching in that

July 1 in Winnetka. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

first game,” Wilmette head 

coach Mike Napoleon 

said. 

Cal Marran had three 

RBI and three hits to lead 

the Waves in the second 

game. Chatterton, Jack 

Miller, and AJ Steinback 

had two RBI apiece as 

Wilmette had 10 hits and 

took seven walks. Charlie 

Acri and Brett Johnson 

also had RBI hits in the 

Game 2 win. 

Highland Park went into 

Monday’s game with a 5-2 

record in Connie Mack 

play but struggled in Wilmette. 

“It was obviously a 

tough day today,” Highland 

Park coach Jason 

Newburger said. “Our bats 

got a lot better in Game 2 

but it wasn’t enough today. 

We did not play good baseball 

across the board but 

sometimes there are days 

like that.” 

Highland Park catcher 

Max Cairo saw a carryover 

effect for his side after 

Liepert stymied his side in 

the Monday’s first game.. 

“Everyone’s been hitting 

the ball well but we had 

no hits in the first game 

and our energy just wasn’t 

there,” Cairo said. “(Liepert) 

had a perfect game and 

I really think that kind of 

bummed us out going into 

the second game. 

“We were able to get 

ourselves together and 

we ended up with (six) 

hits in the second game, 

and that’s really more our 

brand of baseball. We had 

more energy in the dugout 

and on the field.” 

Unfortunately for Highland 

Park, Harvey followed 

Liepert with another 

solid pitching performance 

for Wilmette. Harvey had 

five strikeouts in five innings 

in going the distance 

in the second game. 

“(Liepert) is doing a 

nice job. He’s going to be 

a senior so we expect good 

things from him and Eddie 

Harvey,” Napoleon 

said. “Alex Calarco will 

be one of our main guys, 

and Drew Robinson and 

Jack Miller are also doing 

a really nice job for us in 

terms of being good leaders 

for us. 

“You’re not so concerned 

about the won-lost 

record in the summer. I 

just want to try to get our 

guys better for next year, 

get their fundamentals 

down, and see them work 

as a team and get to know 

each other.” 

Monday’s two wins 

gave Wilmette an 8-3 record 

with six league games 

remaining. The Waves lead 

the Connie Mack Blue Division 

and Liepert believes 

this summer bodes well for 

New Trier’s spring season 

of 2020. 

“We’re focused on 

playing clean games because 

if you don’t give up 

walks and don’t commit 

errors, it makes the game 

pretty easy,” Liepert said. 

“I think we’ve definitely 

improved from the spring 

season in the field, and our 

bats have been really good 

this summer.” 

Highland Park (5-4) got 

two hits apiece in Game 2 

from Cairo and Abe Winer, 

along with RBI hits 

from Gabe Spitz, Joey 

Glickman, and Albert 

Kaskel. 

“We’ve been playing really 

good baseball — good 

defense, the bats have been 

good, and we’ve been 

throwing a lot of strikes,” 

Newburger said. 

“Both (catchers) Max 

Cairo and Gabe Spitz 

have not only been hitting 

well but also handling 

the pitching staff 

well. They’re young guys 

behind the dish and then 

we’ve got some returning 

seniors doing a nice job 

leading them.”
