Locals celebrate summer season at Northbrook Court 

Sarah Haider 

Freelance Reporter 

Northbrook Court 

showed it’s more than a 

shopping center during 

its first-ever Summer Celebration 

on Saturday, July 

13. 

Partnering with retailers 

and the Village of Northbrook, 

the mall offered an 

opportunity for shoppers 

to connect with representatives 

from village programs, 

meet the community’s 

first responders and 

learn about local retailers 

while enjoying familyfriendly 

activities. 

“We want to continue to 

provide events to the community 

and continue our 

strong partnership with the 

Village of Northbrook and 

our retail partners,” Northbrook 

Court’s General 

Manager Brian Lee said. 

“... In being an important 

part of the community, 

we wanted to offer activities 

for the community to 

enjoy and shop at all the 

great stores and eat at all 

the great restaurant we 

have here.” 

Exploring the mall’s 

corridors, families received 

free samples and 

participated in activities 

sponsored by several of 

the court’s retailers, including 

playing with inflatable 

games and an

“I’m looking forward to

all the activities,” Lee said. 

“It’s been a lot of work to 

put it all together and I’m 

thrilled to see the results of 

that and see people enjoy

Court.” 

At the “Village Hall

From Page 3 

Manager Cheryl FaynedePersio 

said about the 

event. “If you come here 

and make a suggestion to 

the Arts Commission that 

we should have more this 

or that, then next, you can 

come to a meeting and 

you’ve already met people 

and you can make that 

connection.” 

The Northbrook Fire 

and Police departments 

displayed their vehicles 

at a touch-a-truck in the 

court’s parking lot, as well 

as greeted community 

members inside, handing 

out fire hats and badges to 

children with the help of 

Sparky the Fire Dog and 

informing the public on 

fire and vehicle safety. 

“Hopefully we’re generating 

some interest in 

the fire department and 

reminding people of how 

important fire education 

is,” Northbrook Fire Chief 

Andy Carlson said. “For 

the kids, now is the time 

they’re most receptive to 

that stuff. It’s a lifelong 

learning process. We’ve 

had a fair number of kids 

come by, so it was good 

to see the interest they 

have and give away stuff 

to them and especially see 

the interactions the kids 

had with our mascot.” 

After seeing how the 

event was able to bring 

together so many different 

aspects of the community, 


and the Village are already 

planning the possibility of 

making the event an annual 

tradition, according to 

Lee and Fayne-dePersio. 

“Next year will be bigger 

and better,” FaynedePersio 

said. “We’ll 

definitely have more giveaways. 

It’s a good way 

for people to connect to 

different agencies and 

maybe make some new 

friends and find ways to 

get involved.”

Tango and Piper 

Mary and Jeff Herbert, 

of Northbrook 

Tango and Piper are 

two rescue Pomeranians. 

Tango is 

12 years old and 

Piper is 2. Despite their age difference, they have 

a lot in common. They both love sleeping, eating, 

snuggling with their humans, and barking at other 

dogs. Tango can roll over, play dead, dance on his 

hind legs, kiss on command, and balance stacks 

of Cheerios on his nose. Piper on the other hand 

still has a lot to learn from her big brother, but can 

sit and look pretty. Both are also very excited to be 

welcoming their first human sibling this July.

Woodlawn Road and 

Penfold Place Water Main 

Replacement 

Last week, the Village’s 

contractor completed installation 

of the new water 

main along Woodlawn 

Road between Penfold 

Place and Shermer Road 

and placed new fire hydrants 

along that block. 

This week, crews will 

continue making storm 

sewer improvements and 

will begin connecting service 

lines to the new main. 

This project consists 

of replacing the original

iron water main along 

Woodlawn Road with 

new 8-inch diameter pipe 

and installation of new 

8-inch pipe on Penfold 

Place from Scott Road to

Northbrook Sidewalk Sale brings deals, fun to downtown 

Hilary Anderson 


There is something 

special about sidewalk 

sales. To many, they never 

disappoint. 

There almost always is 

some kind of treasure to be 

found — as was the case 

at Northbrook’s Sidewalk 

Sale held July 5 and 6. 

One could easily find 

a wide array of everyday 

or custom clothing for all 

ages. 

Creatively designed 

necklaces, rings and bracelets 

were there too. 

Debbie’s Designs and 

Bracelets had many handcrafted 

items that could 

easily delight the recipient, 

not to overlook the 

purchaser, who might buy 

it for themselves. 

The most fun treasures 

were the unusual but useful 

items one could find 

with a simple stroll by the 

tables and carts holding 

the wares. 

Northbrook’s la de da! 

had special note pads for 

soccer and football moms. 

Mom-and-daughter 

manicures could be had 

from Glamor Girl Central. 

That was not to overlook 

custom apparel for any 

purpose or occasion. 

Halloween costume 

planning is three months 

away but there were black 

cloth shirts with jack-olanterns 

on them for any 

young lady, courtesy of 

Rock and Tulle Boutique. 

Crabby and Abbey’s 

was celebrating its 16th 

anniversary. Future ballerinas 

could find themselves 

shirts with ballet 

slippers on them. 

Obsessions was offering 

unique purses for both festive 

and ordinary events. 

For the person who 

wants to be seen wearing 

something different, 

there was a display of truly 

different, colorful socks. 

Clothing options, shoes 

and other accessories were 

also available for men. 

The Book Bin had a 

large variety of books 

that could interest anyone 

for any reason — from 

books for grandparents 

to write their genealogical 

histories in for future 

generations to read to oldfashioned 

note cards featuring 

scenes from painters 

like Claude Monet. 

Novels were plentiful as 

were chapter books for 

relatively new readers. 

The Northbrook Sidewalk 

Sale is a great place 

to bring one’s holiday or 

birthday gift list, especially 

for the unusual but practical 

items one can find at 

Eve’s Hallmark. 

There were smaller, decorative 

wooden items with 

two magnets on the back 

of them that could be put 

on refrigerators or other 

magnetized locations. 

For the upcoming and 

future brides, there were 

figurines encased in a 

beautiful box with poignant 

sayings that can be 

given as a remembrance to 

individuals in one’s wedding: 

a matron of honor, 

ring bearer, mother of the 

groom, flower girl or just 

about anyone in the bridal 

party. 

The sidewalk sale also 

was a popular place for 

parents with children who 

tag along. 

“We just moved here 

last year,” said Shannie 

Kuntz, a Glenview resident. 

“I love all the kids 

stuff there is here at this 

sidewalk sale. There’s so 

much for them to do.” 

Some of the “much to 

do” included the miniature 

golf her children were 

playing.

lemonade made the oldfashioned

to quench the thirst 

of guests on the warm 

day. The leaders and dads 

of sons in Boy Scout 

Troop 67 were making it 

available for $2 a glass as 

a small fundraiser. 

If that did not make the 

young ones happy, Dairy 

Queen sold ice cream bars 

in close proximity to the 

miniature golf.

If you ask Stuart Jacobson 

how to measure success, 

his response might 

take you by surprise. 

The Northbrook resident 

believes success 

comes from being kind to 

all and spreading uplifting 

messages of positivity. 

Jacobson is now taking 

the “be kind, be positive 

and read” theme of “The 

Stu Show,” his popular 

inspirational show for students, 

and turning it into 

a children’s book titled 

“I Like To Be Liked: 12 

Things To Do (All of the 

Time) To Be Liked.” 

Jacobson said the goal 

of the new book is to allow 

the message of his 

show to be spread to a 

larger audience. He also 

hopes the title will spark 

readers’ curiosity. 

The intended impact of 

Jacobson’s book is to help 

make “a safer and friendlier 

America,” which is also 

why he initially started 

the show. He also wants 

to put the main message 

from the show in a book, 

to allow parents and kids 

to keep an at-home reference 

of the themes he 

presents. 

The idea for Jacobson’s 

book came from the opening 

question to his show. 

“(I always ask) how 

many of the kids like to be 

liked, because that’s where 

it begins and of course, 

the kids immediately raise 

their hands — everybody 

wants to be liked,” Jacobson 

said of the show’s 

opening. “I would follow 

up with another question 

(asking) how many of 

them go out of their way 

Northbrook resident Stuart Jacobson recently 

authored a new children’s book titled, “I Like To Be 

Liked: 12 Things To Do ( All of the Time) To Be Liked.” 

Photo Submitted 

to be liked. And of course, 

most hands went down 

because now kids have to 

think what do I have to do 

to be liked?” 

Much of the motivation 

behind Jacobson’s writing 

is to remind himself 

of one of his personal 

measure of success — the 

size of one’s heart and the 

ability to care for others. 

And he believes practicing 

kindness as often as 

possible is one of the keys 

to success. 

“If you want to be a 

great violinist, you practice 

… and if you want to 

be a great human being, 

you have got to practice,” 

he said. 

Jacobson is already 

working on a follow-up 

book called “Nobody 

Likes A Bully,” which will 

highlight the anti-bullying 

messages from his show.

Village surprised by $61M 

overhaul of Lake Bluff 

interchange 

For years, commuters 

traveling through the interchange 

at Illinois Route

in Lake Bluff have faced 

considerable daily traffic 

congestion and safety hazards. 

But a long-planned upgrade 

to the interchange is 

now closer to completion, 

now that $61 million has 

been secured for the project. 

The funding comes 

from the recently signed 

Rebuild Illinois capital 

construction plan, which 

includes nearly $45 billion 

for state repairs to roads, 

bridges and transit over the

span of six years. 

State Senator Julie Morrison, 

D-Deerfield, made 

the announcement over the 

Fourth of July weekend, 

which came as a surprise 

to the Lake Bluff Village 

Board, according to President 

Kathleen O’Hara. 

“We heard this week, 

much to our surprise to 

be totally honest, that $61 

million is going to be allocated 

for the 41-176 exchange,” 

O’Hara said at 

the Village Board meeting 

on Monday, July 8. 

“We hope to be at the 

table,” she added, “but 

we’re not sure if we’re sitting 

with the adults ... or 

the kiddies table.” 

O’Hara noted the $61 

million overhaul of the 

Lake Bluff interchange is 

a state project and consists 

of three phases. Phase I 

was completed in 2015 and 

focused on an engineering 

and environmental study 

that steered the design of 

the project.

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Student-painted rain 

barrels to be installed at 

D35 schools 

After a wet start to the 

summer, some of Glencoe’s 

youngest residents 

learned about water conservation 

during Glencoe 

District 35’s Summer Explorations 

program. 

Summer Explorations 

started June 17 and ran 

through Friday, July 12. 

The session offered a variety 

of classes to local students 

who were looking to 

continue learning throughout 

their summer break. 

During the week of July 

8, a group of students from 

the Backyard Art Summer 

camp had a special visitor: 

Rebecca Wooley from the 

Metropolitan Water Reclamation 

District of Greater 

Chicago. 

Wooley, who works in 

MWRD’s public affairs 

department, taught students 

from first through 

fifth grade about their 

local waste water treatment 

plant — Terrence J. 

O’Brien Water Reclamation 

Plant in Skokie — and 

how they clean waste water. 

“We release water into 

the local waterways, but 

first we clean and treat 

it,” Wooley said of the 

130-year-old organization. 

“We also manage stormwater. 

It’s our responsibility 

to protect neighborhoods 

and businesses from 

flooding.” 

She also introduced students 

to green infrastructure, 

which helps with 

stormwater detention. The 

main infrastructure includes 

native plants, green 

roofs, rain gardens and 

rain barrels. 

Everyone can be a 

“stormwater superhero” 

by helping out with green 

infrastructure, Wooley 

said — not just MWRD.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Bids denied for water main 

replacement project 

The Winnetka Village 

Council voted to reject 

bids for a water main replacement 

project at Westmoor 

Road and Mount 

Pleasant Street, instead 

opting to delay the project 

and put it out to bid again 

in early 2020. 

Two bids for the project 

— from Berger Excavating 

Contractors and A Lamp 

Concrete Contractors — 

to replace sections of the 

water main distribution 

system at Westmoor and 

Mount Pleasant both came 

in at around $1.05 million 

(the bids were separated 

by just under $2,200). 

Meanwhile, the Village 

engineer’s estimate came 

in at just under $796,000. 

“There’s some conditions 

with this particular 

bid that I think warrant 

rejecting the bid at this 

time,” Director of Public 

Works Steve Saunders 

said. 

The two bids were approximately 

32 percent 

above the Village’s own 

estimates for the replacement 

project. 

After discussions with 

the contractors, Saunders 

said three primary factors 

contributed to the elevated 

bid levels. Among them, 

the timing of the bidding 

process was atypical. 

“Typically, we would 

bundle our regular street 

rehabilitation bids with the 

water main bids,” Saunders 

said. “But we were 

not able to do that with 

this particular job because 

this is partially funded by 

funds through the Illinois 

EPA revolving loan program. 

They have some 

timing constraints that are 

related to the state fiscal 

year.” 

In addition, Saunders 

said there is a high volume 

of work being done 

throughout the area.

Northbrook Farmers Market welcomes D30 summer school gardeners 

Submitted by District 30 

District 30’s Summer 

School third-through-fifthgrade 

students in the Green 

Thumb class learned firsthand 

about how fruits and 

vegetables are grown on 

June 26, when they took a 

field trip to see the myriad 

booths at the Northbrook 

Farmers Market. 

They also tasted those 

fruits that are at their peak. 

At the end of the visit, 

almost every student declared 

that the best part of 

their morning at the Northbrook 

Farmers Market was 

sampling the strawberries. 

The fruits are now at the 

height of their season, and 

this is the last week or so 

to get rhubarb at its best, 

according to Mona “The 

Boss Lady” at the market. 

“Buy what is in season, 

and it will cost less and 

taste best,” she said. 

Mona led the students to 

vegetable and fruit booths 

and reviewed facts about 

many types of herbs, including 

cilantro, thyme, 

and rosemary. She said 

that rosemary is not only 

integrated into meat and 

Italian sauces but is also 

commonly used in potpourri. 

Then she had to 

explain what potpourri 

was. It was a day to learn, 

and the kids were visibly 

engaged. 

The children then had 

the opportunity to ask the 

farmers questions and 

hear about how their products 

are grown and used. 

The food and product 

stalls included vegetables, 

fruit, herbs, pet bakery 

goods, honey, granola and 

flowers. 

They also participated 

District 30 students pose for a photo June 26 while 

visiting the Northbrook Farmers Market. Photos Submitted 

in a farmers market scavenger 

hunt, which had 

them finding fruits and 

vegetables that came in a 

number of different colors 

and sizes; searching 

for vegetables that grow 

underground, and looking 

for a fruit they had never 

consumed before. They 

also searched for fruits and 

vegetables that were red, 

orange, yellow, green, blue 

and purple. 

The last question on the 

hunt involved finding three 

things for sale that were 

not fruits or vegetables. 

Many of the kids ended 

up at the nearby bakery, 

gourmet pet cookies, and 

honey table. 

When asked what he 

learned, Charlie Hintzman 

Northbrook Farmers Market representatives Irv 

Leavitt, Mady Fern and Dale Duda welcomed students 

from the District 30 Summer School Green Thumbs 

class on June 26. 

replied that after talking to 

Kyle with Sunny Harvest 

Way Farm, he now knows 

the difference between 

an heirloom and regular 

tomato. 

At the conclusion of 

the visit, teacher Elspeth 

Losch was presented with 

a pot of herbs, which she 

said she would take back 

to the classroom to review 

what the kids learned 

about these plants during 

their visit to the farmers 

market. 

This activity was coordinated 

by Green Thumb 

Summer School teachers 

Elspeth Losch and 

Emily Hakodate, with

Northbrook couple shares lifelong love story 

Alan P. Henry 


Most adults can recall 

with clarity the instant 

true love’s lightning struck 

their hearts. Don Prince is 

no exception. 

On the first morning 

back home in tiny Crossville, 

Ill., following his 

discharge from the Navy 

in 1946, Don walked into 

a store where his longtime 

friend and pen pal Claire 

was working. 

“I remember the moment 

— I looked at the 

floor where she was 

squatting down stocking 

shelves,” Don said. “She 

was wearing a blue, green 

and red plaid dress. I had 

made arrangements with 

a girl from Wisconsin to 

come and see me the next 

week, and I thought, what 

am I doing? This is insane. 

Claire is the one for me. 

And it hasn’t changed.” 

No, it hasn’t. 

On June 22, Don and 

Claire Prince celebrated 

their 70th wedding anniversary 

at Covenant Village 

in Northbrook. The 

100 guests included family 

that came in from around 

the country, friends from 

church and other periods 

of their lives, and new 

friends from Covenant, 

where they have lived 

since 2012. 

Last week, Don and 

Claire sat down with The 

Tower to talk about their 

lifelong love story — a 

journey that has put to 

deed the words of the poet 

Lord Byron, who said of 

love’s union: “Be thou 

the rainbow in the storms 

of life. The evening beam 

that smiles the clouds 

away, and tints tomorrow 

with prophetic ray.” 

For the Princes, long before 

there was love, there 

was fated connection. 

A year after he was 

born, Don’s parents sold 

the baby carriage in which 

he’d slept to friends three 

blocks away, who had just 

had a baby girl. Her name 

was Claire. 

Fast forwarding 15 

years, Don rode his bicycle 

to his friend Claire’s house 

to ask her if she wanted to 

go to the youth fellowship 

gathering with him at the 

local church that night. 

“I didn’t have the nerve 

to tell my father it was a 

date,” said Claire, who 

had never been on one. Instead, 

she simply told him 

Don was “going to give 

me a ride.” 

No doubt dad was thoroughly 

fooled. 

The pair dated on an 

off through high school. 

He was the star basketball 

player in the Class of 

1944, which had 26 students. 

She would later be 

senior prom queen in her 

Class of 1945, which had 

24 students. 

Don went into the Navy 

the day after graduation 

and served stateside, while 

Claire was off to college. 

He had “lots of girlfriends,” 

recalled Claire, 

but that never stopped 

them from writing letters 

to each other, all the while 

leaving plenty of time 

for Don to get a clue and 

figure it out. 

The two were married 

in June, 1949. Don began

Trier High School (east 

campus),” Don said. 

After raising their two 

children, Claire worked at 

Northwestern University 

as assistant to a dean, and 

then as assistant to the vice 

president for administration 

and planning. She 

retired in 1998. 

Daughter Kathryn is 

in information technology 

at Northwestern, and 

son Bill is in real estate 

management. 

The Princes give much 

of the credit for their lasting 

marriage to a shared 

sense of commitment. 

“In our generation, you 

just figured it was going to 

last,” Don said. “Divorce 

was sort of an unheard of 

thing back then. We kept 

our rough spots to a minimum 

and never had any 

real problems.” 

“A big thing is commitment,” 

Claire said. “You 

make a commitment, you 

keep it. It wasn’t that we 

had to work to make it 

work, we just assumed it 

was going to work. We had 

no doubts it was going to 

work.” 

Shared values and interests 

have also kept their 

bond strong. 

“From the very beginning, 

we’ve always held 

the same values,” Claire 

said. 

They are longtime members 

of Trinity Methodist 

Church in Wilmette, where 

she was in the choir for 45 

years. He was a member of 

the choir for 25 years, and 

performed many other duties 

in the church as well. 

Together they had season 

tickets for many years 

to the Chicago Symphony 

Orchestra and Northwestern 

basketball and football 

games. As well, they like 

the same people. 

“Our best friends have 

always been mutual 

friends,” Claire said. “And 

we are totally honest with 

each other.” 

And then there’s laughter. 

“He still makes me 

laugh,” Claire said. “He 

has kept me laughing 

for 70 years and that is 

important.”

In Memoriam 

Margaret L. Miller 

Margaret 

L. Miller 

(nee Lafnitzegger), 

81, a 74-year 

resident of 

Northbrook, 

passed Miller 

away July 

8, peacefully in her home 

surrounded by her loving 

family. 

Margaret was the beloved 

wife of the late Fritz 

K. Loving mom of Jeffrey 

K. (Kim), David M. (Gina) 

and Gary D. (Inga) Miller 

and Kristen M. (Timm) 

Carsello and the late Fritz 

K. III. Devoted and loved 

grandma of Carl, Grant and 

Dean Miller, and Samantha, 

Jackson and Brecken 

Carsello, and John and 

Nick Miles. Dear sister 

of Fred (Liz) and Richard 

(Jane) and the late Joey 

and Bobby Lafnitzegger. 

Fond aunt and cousin to 

many. Beautiful daughter 

to the late Ignatz and Mary 

(nee Stadler) Lafnitzegger. 

Margaret was born and 

raised in the restaurant 

business. After having 

a tavern in the city, her 

parents moved out to the 

“country” and opened Ignatz 

& Mary’s Grove Inn, 

in Northbrook, in 1945. 

Starting at a young age, 

she dedicated her life 

to working in the family 

business where she did 

everything from cooking, 

baking, bartending serving, 

hosting and more. She 

ultimately met the love 

of her life, Fritz Miller, 

through the same industry, 

co-owner of the Cypress 

Inn, in Northbrook. 

They got married in 1964 

and eventually ran Ignatz 

& Mary’s Grove Inn together 

until its closing in 

December of 1986. 

They had four active 

children who kept them 

busy. She was a loving 

mother, who along with 

her busy schedule, could 

be found cheering on her 

kids from the sidelines or 

volunteering at school. 

Later in life, she did the 

same for her grandkids, 

whom she loved dearly. 

Margaret enjoyed 

spending time with the 

American Legion Ladies 

Auxiliary, Red Hat Society 

and volunteering her time 

at St. Norbert Church, 

Northbrook Days and the 

Historical Society. She 

also worked at a local uptown 

Northbrook favorite, 

Fashions by Jane, and was 

a devoted Cubs fan. She 

had a zest for travel and 

was fortunate enough to 

travel the world. She had 

a gift of serving others, always 

putting everyone in 

front of herself. 

Among the things we 

can all learn from Margaret 

is the importance and 

beauty of the lost art of 

handwritten notes. She felt 

that these simple acts of 

investment, remembrance, 

gratitude, and appreciation 

can show the people 

who matter to your life 

that they are important to 

you. In her final weeks she 

taught us about what really 

matters in this world; 

family, faith and love. 

Visitation will be held 

Friday, July 19 at St. Norbert 

Church, 1809 Walters

Adelheidi’s brings a new flavor to downtown Winnetka 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

When the Schuppenhauers 

opened their first Adelheidi’s 

Organics restaurant 

in Naples, Fla., in 2011, the 

hope was to bring organic, 

gluten-free items to southwest 

Florida. Fast forward 

eight years and the same 

has done the same with 

their newest store, which 

opened May 8 in Winnetka. 

”Winnetka really needed 

one,” manager Tania Nesterak 

said about why the 

new store was opened in 

Winnetka. “[They thought] 

it would be really popular 

in this area and people really 

like vegan and glutenfree 

stuff. They’re more 

into this kind of life. It’s a 

perfect place. We opened 

I think the same day as 

the arcade, so we have a 

toy store here, we have an 

arcade here, we have ice 

cream shop here, so it’s the 

perfect location.” 

The organic ice cream 

shop is located at 522 Lincoln 

Ave. in downtown 

Winnetka in the Winnetka 

Walk property with fellow 

tenants Games on Lincoln, 

an arcade, and Beat Street, 

a toy store. The Winnetka 

location is the only one 

outside of the original Naples 

location, as well as a 

factory outlet in Naples. 

Since the store opened 

in May, Nesterak says 

the reception has been a 

positive one. 

“We have regular customers 

who come here a 

lot,” she said. “It’s really 

cool. I have people who 

I know their name, who I 

don’t even need to explain 

anything on the menu to. 

They know everything. 

“It’s been really busy, 

especially for dinnertime 

because we’re open real 

late. We’re open until 11 

p.m. So after people have 

Adelheidi’s

11 a.m.-11 p.m. 

Friday and Saturday 

11 a.m.-10 p.m.

dinner, at 8, 9 p.m. we 

have a huge line.” 

While Adelheidi’s might 

be known for gelato and 

ice cream, it does also have 

multiple other items such 

as cakes, coffee, shakes, 

smoothies and more. The 

smoothies are made of 

real, organic fruits, while 

the shakes and floats 

are made with grass-fed 

organic milk. 

Four 22nd Century Media 

editors stopped by the 

Winnetka location on a hot 

morning to try out what 

Adelheidi’s had to offer. 

We first tried the açai 

bowl ($8.95). Like all of 

their items, the açai bowl 

is made up of fresh ingredients, 

namely fresh 

blueberries, fresh bananas 

and fresh strawberries, 

as well as açai. The bowl 

was topped with glutenfree 

granola hemp hearts, 

chocolate nibs and coconut 

flakes. 

“We change our flavors 

every two weeks,” Nesterak 

said. “On gelato, one 

of our favorites here is fig 

and goat cheese. You can’t 

even taste goat cheese. It’s 

so good. We have rum and 

raisin. We have a lot of 

different flavors.” 

One of the gelato selections 

we had was the 

Caramel Kiss gelato. This 

dish was served with butter 

pecan gelato and salted 

caramel topping and also 

Adelheidi’s Organics açai bowl ($8.95) has blueberries, bananas, strawberries, açai, granola, chocolate and 

coconut flakes. Photos by Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

Adelheidi’s offers a variety of gluten-free and organic 

gelato and ice cream flavors. 

covered by nuts. 

Along with all of the 

frozen treats made on 

the premises, Adelheidi’s 

also features a number of 

non-frozen items. 

We were able to try a 

couple of those as well. 

First we tried the choco 

lavender crunch, which is 

similar to a cracker that’s 

vegan, gluten-, grain-, 

dairy- and egg-free, as 

well as featuring all-natural 

ingredients and non-genetically 

modified foods. 

Along with the choco lavender 

crunch, you can get 

The caramel kiss sundae has butter pecan gelato 

topped with salted caramel and nuts. 

it in vanilla crunch, ginger 

crunch, matcha green 

power crunch, choco acai 

crunch and chocolate 

cookie crunch flavors, all 

for $4.99. 

We also were able to 

try the lavender pizzelles, 

the shop’s take on the 

traditional Italian waffle 

cookie. 

Lastly, we were also 

given two toppings that 

the store uses: rum cherry 

and salted caramel. The 

two can be used as toppings 

for pretty much any 

item in the store.

Fourth Quarter 

The Varsity’s hosts finish 

the bracket off with the 

championship game and 

name the best current North 

Shore professional athlete. 

Mirochnik was a member 

of the Glenbrook North 

boys basketball team. 

When and why did 

you start playing 

basketball? 

I started when I was 3 or 

4 years old and my brother 

played, he’s older than me, 

so I just followed his footsteps 

and my dad was a fan 

and he coached our teams. 

What do you like most 

about the sport? 

Just the competition 

and the feeling you get in 

games. 

What is your favorite 

sports moment? 

This year when we beat 

Deerfield to win the conference. 

What is one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I have broken my hip 

and my knee. 

What would you do if 

you won the lottery? 

I would buy some fun 

stuff like a boat and a 

car, donate a lot of money, 

make sure I can support 

myself and my family. 

If you could be any 

superhero, which 

super power would 

you want? 

I would be Superman. I 

would just like the ability 

to fly. 

If you could play any 

other sport, which 

would it be? 

I would play football. I 

never played but I played 

flag and stuff. 

What is your favorite 

area restaurant? 

Little Louie’s. I usually 

get the Chicken Avocado 

Wrap or the hot dogs. 

What is one thing on 

your bucket list? 

I want to travel to every 

continent. I’ve been to 

three. 

If you could be any 

animal, which would 

you be? 

I would be a tiger or 

lion, because they’re the 

king of the jungle. No one 

messes with them really.

Spartans Green 14U wins Fourth of July tournament 

42 | July 18, 2019 | The Northbrook tower northbrooktower.com 

Submitted Content 

When a team hosts a 

tournament, it hopes to 

win the tournament, and 

the Spartans Green 14U 

team did just that by going 

6-0 in the 14U Gold Division 

in the annual Northbrook 

Baseball Fourth of 

July tournament. 

On July 5, the team 

opened up pool play with 

high-octane offensive 

victories over the Illinois 

Hawks with a 14-1 win 

and a 11-0 win over the 

Stevenson Patriots Gold. 

On July 6, the team finished 

off pool play a 7-2 

victory over Top Tier Red 

and a 9-4 win over Top 

Tier White. 

On championship Sunday, 

the Spartans jumped 

out to an early 6-0 lead 

and then coasted to an 11-2 

win over Illinois Haws in 

the semifinal. In the championship 

game versus Top 

Tier Red, Spartans Green 

dug itself an early hole 

trailing 2-0 after a half an 

inning. The hole was not 

very deep as the Spartans 

responded with five runs in 

the bottom half of the first 

and then went on to roll 

Top Tier Red winning the 

championship in convincing 

fashion 11-2. 

The tournament championship 

was total-team 

accomplishment as all 

the boys contributed 

in multiple ways. The 

team members are Max 

Bachenheimer (Wood 

Oaks), Connor Durst 

(Northbrook Jr. High), 

Jack Gaffney (Northbrook 

Jr. High), Kevin 

Geake (Christian Heritage 

Academy), Spencer 

Geake (Christian Heritage 

Academy), Patrick 

Mahoney (Northbrook Jr. 

High), Charlie Moretta 

(Northbrook Jr. High), 

Colin Roche (Northbrook 

Jr. High), Aidan Siegel 

(Wood Oaks) and Blake 

Telpner (Wood Oaks).

joyed being part of a team 

in football and lacrosse. It 

gave me a lot of friends 

and places to go. To accomplish 

something, it’s 

exciting to put the work 

in.” 

Harris will make the 

transition as both a transformed 

athlete and person. 

The former Spartan 

realized before his senior 

season that he needed to 

put in more work if he 

wanted to help his team 

succeed and develop his 

personal game. 

The hard work paid off, 

with GBN making it to 

the IHSA super-sectional 

after upsetting No. 1 seed 

Lake Forest in its sectional 

final. That experience 

showed Harris how much 

hard work paid off. 

Lacrosse brought Harris 

countless friendships 

and memories, and now 

he’s excited to have the 

sport in the next stage of 

his life. 

“It’s definitely nice, especially 

at a small school,” 

Harris said. “You have a 

group of guys who you 

know and are there with. 

You have a lot of people 

you can relate to. You feel 

like a part of something as 

opposed to being on your 

own the first few weeks of 

school.” 

Harris won’t need to 

Calling all 

Does Your Business Pamper Pets? 

be on campus early and 

he’ll start working with 

his team in the fall, but 

he’s spending the summer 

working out and increasing 

his strength while 

playing in a men’s league. 

He’s ready for the next 

stage of his life, but he 

won’t forget the memories 

he made at GBN and 

what he learned from his 

time there. 

“I’m pretty excited, a 

bit nervous,” Harris said. 

“I don’t necessarily want 

to leave everybody behind 

but I’m definitely excited 

to start a new education, 

new athletic opportunity 

and compete at the Division-III 

level, which is really 

awesome.”

Coach’s Update 

Spartans boys basketball ready for total new look 

Staff Report 

Glenbrook North will 

have a new-look roster 

when the Spartans take the 

court this winter. 

With the switch over 

to the Central Suburban 

League South division taking 

place this season, the 

Spartans will have to adapt 

to a lot of change. 

The Tower’s Sports Editor 

Michal Dwojak caught 

up with head coach David 

Weber to see how the summer 

has gone and what 

he’s looking forward to 

this season. 

How has the summer 

gone? 

We’re done now. We 

finished right before the 

Fourth of July, so that was 

three weeks. After that, the 

kids play AAU for a couple 

weeks here. The high 

school stuff is done now; 

they go three solid weeks 

and it’s all over. We have 

a whole new team this 

year, so the beginning of 

the summer was a little bit 

rough. Our first few games, 

I was like “oh my gosh.” 

But I’ve really enjoyed the 

improvement as the summer 

went on. They’re a 

very coachable group and 

they really picked up a lot 

of good things. In our final 

two games, we won those 

two games, we played really 

well, so it was great 

improvement. I was really 

happy to see that. 

What are some of the 

challenges of having such a 

new team? 

We tried to figure who 

can play at the varsity 

level. We have some really 

nice, young players coming 

up through the program, 

so they were given 

an opportunity this summer 

and they did pretty 

well. That was the first 

thing: trying to figure out 

who can play at the varsity 

level. Our biggest weakness 

is our size. We went 

from last year where we 

had all that height to this 

year where a 6-foot-2 kid 

is our tallest kid, and he’s a 

sophomore. We really had 

to work on our rebounding 

and were beat up on the 

boards in the first couple 

shootouts. That got better 

as time went on. We improved 

some things. We 

also wanted to develop 

team chemistry, playing 

together and understanding 

what we have. It’s 

good for the coaches to see 

going into the year, here’s 

how we can play. Last year 

we had a different group 

of kids and could do one 

thing and now this year, 

I have kind of an idea of 

how we can play. We’re a 

little quicker at the guard 

position, we’re athletic 

at the guard position. But 

at the forward position, 

we’re smaller than we 

were last year. 

Do you handle this summer 

differently than you have 

in the past? 

Yeah, well last year we 

showed up and had so 

many guys coming back 

that had been on the varsity 

and played a lot their junior 

year, we were hitting 

the ground running. This 

year, it was a very slow 

process. I told our coaches 

to not get frustrated, these 

kids have never played 

at the varsity level. We 

taught a lot more this summer 

than we’ve done in the 

Glenbrook North boys basketball coach David Weber will have his hands full next season with his team preparing 

to move over to the Central Suburban League South division while creating chemistry with a new-look, young 

roster. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

past, which was fun; it was 

refreshing. They listened 

and I think they learned 

and improved, that’s what 

you look for in a team. 

Do you think the youth 

and lack of size will force 

you to adjust the way you 

run things? 

We’re going to have to 

play more zone defenses. 

If we tried to match up 

against bigger teams manto-man, 

it would be difficult. 

I think we need to 

press more this year, just 

because of the speed that 

we have at the guard position. 

I think those two 

things are really evident if 

we’re going to have success 

next year. 

What are some things 

you told them to work 

on before you guys meet 

again during the school 

year? 

They need to work on 

their strength number one 

because they’re so young. 

That’s just a matter of them 

being motivated to go to 

the weight room and figuring 

out how to get stronger. 

I hope they come back 

about 10 pounds heavier. 

The second thing is working 

on their game and getting 

better so they’re ready 

to go when we get to the 

school year in September 

and October. You can lift 

during those times when 

you have structure, I wish 

we could have more time 

where we could really focus 

in on that. I love the 

three weeks in the summer 

and we told them those 

three weeks don’t make it, 

you have to keep playing 

and keep working on your 

game. Hopefully you’ll do 

that. 

Do you approach anything 

differently or have you 

talked about the switch 

over to the CSL South? 

I mean in basketball it’s 

a little bit different because 

you’re playing so 

many games and you play 

10 conference games but 

you play total 30 games. 

I think about it how you 

schedule your nonconference, 

playing tough opponents. 

I feel like we’ve 

played a really tough nonconference 

schedule. Now 

every Friday night is going 

to be a battle. We would 

have some breaks in the 

past, but right now it’s going 

to be difficult. You’re 

going to play Evanston on 

a Friday and then going to 

have to go to New Trier 

and then Maine South and 

Glenbrook South, there’s 

no break. The kids know 

that it’s coming, but I 

don’t think you can change 

what you’re doing because

North Shore soccer players react to U.S. World Cup win 

Drew Favakeh, Sports Intern 

The 2019 FIFA Women’s 

World Cup has come 

and gone, but that doesn’t 

mean the impact from the 

summer’s games won’t be 

felt for months and years 

to come. 

With the U.S Women’s 

National Team winning 

the world’s top prize once 

again, The Tower’s Sports 

Intern Drew Favakeh 

caught up with area girls 

soccer players to see how 

they enjoyed the tournament 

and what they’ll remember 

the most. 

Editor’s Note: For the 

full responses from more 

players, visit Northbrook- 

Tower.com. 

What moment do you 

remember most from the 

United States’ 7-0 run and 

eventual fourth World Cup 

win? 

Olivia Kosla (Glenbrook 

North): There was 

a foul in the penalty box 

and the referees had to 

watch it over and over to 

see if there was a penalty. 

It ended up being a penalty 

kick. The score was 2-0 

at the time. ... The U.S. 

goalie saved the goal to 

keep the 2-0 lead. All my 

friends watched it. PK’s 

are always supposed to go 

in, but the goalie saved it. 

Julia DiSano (Glenbrook 

South): The moments 

that stood out to me 

were obviously the two 

goals (in the final game). 

The first one, being a penalty 

kick, part of me felt a 

little incomplete. I’m happy 

they got the lead, but I 

wanted them to earn the 

second one amidst play to 

feel really like they won 

the game in a complete 

manner. The second goal 

was awesome by Rose 

Lavelle. Personally, since 

I’ve been a soccer player, 

I’ve never wanted to win 

on just a PK because the 

team didn’t really deserve 

it. Obviously, it was a 

penalty, so they deserved 

to get the kick, but they 

didn’t really earn the goal 

through their play. For 

the second goal, Lavelle 

had the ball and I was 

wondering if she was going 

to give it up to one 

of her teammates, who 

were open. But then, she 

just kept on taking it. The 

shot was powerful and 

went right in the back of 

the net. It made me really 

excited and at that point, I 

was like ‘they got this in 

the bag.’ 

Who is the player you look 

up to most on the team? 

Kosla: Julie Ertz because 

she’s really aggressive 

and always has the 

ball out and fights through 

it. I wanna be just like her, 

so I paid attention to her a 

lot to see what to do and 

how to improve. 

DiSano: It’s not one 

particular player, it was 

all of them I looked up 

to, being that I didn’t just 

play in the center, but also 

played on the outside. Obviously, 

Lavelle went to 

the University of Wisconsin, 

which I’m going to 

be going to next year, so 

that was pretty cool. I’m 

not going to be playing 

in college, but she went 

there and so that’s exciting. 

Toby Heath and Rapinoe 

are just so strong on 

the outsides. They’re also 

women I look up to. 

According to FIFA, this was 

the first time the Women’s 

World Cup reached One 

billion television viewers. 

How does the women’s 

team winning the World 

Glenbrook North girls soccer player Olivia Kosla is one of the many players from the North Shore and nation who 

were inspired by the United States Women’s Soccer National team’s World Cup win. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

Cup elevate the state of 

women’s sports? 

Kosla: In the past, 

women haven’t thought to 

play sports and stuff. They 

would just do whatever. 

But now, they’re finding 

enjoyment in the sport, 

so more and more people 

are doing it and looking 

up to others who want to 

do the same thing as them. 

The more women who are 

playing will lead to more 

younger girls to play more 

sports. 

DiSano: It’s definitely 

evolved immensely in 

the past two years, especially 

this world cup. I 

think more attention has 

been drawn to it in terms 

of more girls playing at a 

younger age. Social media, 

the news, and all of 

the internet of the past 20 

years, has made it a lot 

easier for the women’s 

team to become role models, 

to become the face of 

women’s soccer. It says 

a lot that you can get a 

whole country behind 

you, millions of people 

watching you, but I’m not 

surprised that they have 

because of the characters 

of women on the team and 

the success they’ve been 

able to accomplish. 

With the popularity 

growing, there seems 

to still between a wide 

margin between men and 

women’s compensation, do 

you think women should 

be paid equally? 

Kosla: Personally, I 

think that they should be 

paid the exact same. They 

are doing the exact same 

thing. The only difference 

is that men and women. 

But they play the same, 

travel, have exhibition, it’s 

exactly the same thing. 

DiSano: It’s all based 

on revenue. Obviously, 

the U.S. Women’s National 

Team is just as, if 

not more, popular than 

the men’s. However, on 

a world scale, the men’s 

team brings in more revenue. 

For me, I completely 

agree with equal pay 

as long as they’re getting 

equal amount. If they’re 

not, then it’s not financially 

possible. In terms of 

the United States, I’d say 

it could be more, so they 

should be given what they 

deserve. 

It was also the first time 

the United States women’s 

team sported gay pride 

jerseys in the month of 

June, which is gay pride 

month. How do you think 

the women’s team have 

helped gay pride as well? 

Kosla: A lot of people 

look up to them. If they 

believe in something, then 

other people will believe 

in something. Not many 

people have as much 

power as these women on 

the team. A lot of people 

would just stand around 

and not do anything, but 

since these women are doing 

it, it’s giving the confidence 

to other people to 

get involved. 

DiSano: I know they 

are a part of that group, 

and I think that it is great 

that they are advocating 

and bringing attention to 

that as well.

Glenbrook North boys lacrosse alumnus Joey Harris will continue his lacrosse career 

at The College of Wooster. 22nd Century Media file photo 

Harris’ hard work 

turns into opportunity 

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor 

The College of Wooster 

wasn’t always at the top 

of Joey Harris’ list. 

It almost didn’t make 

the final cut until he decided 

to make a late visit 

to the small Ohio school. 

The recent Glenbrook 

North boys lacrosse 

alumnus visited different 

schools in Ohio and 

Wooster showed interest, 

so why not take a look at 

least? 

That decision proved to 

make a difference in Harris’ 

life. 

“After a tour on campus, 

I was sure that was 

the school I really wanted 

to go to,” Harris said. 

“The facilities, both academically 

and athletically, 

the types of opportunities 

they offered, it definitely 

seemed like the place that 

I wanted to be at.” 

Harris knew he wanted 

to play collegiate lacrosse 

since he started playing 

the sport in sixth grade. 

He loved the competitiveness 

and thrill the sport 

brought, so when it came 

time to make a decision 

on where he would go to 

college, lacrosse was going 

to be an imperative 

factor. 

He spent his time touring 

different Ohio Division 

III programs, but 

Wooster was still there, 

showing interest. Harris 

finally decided to visit the 

school, and was just as 

impressed with the culture. 

He wanted to make sure 

academics would challenge 

him too, and after 

seeing academic facilities 

to go along with the training 

buildings and home 

field, Harris was happy to 

give the Wooster coaching 

staff a call confirming he 

would attend the school. 

I’m very excited,” Harris 

said. “It’s an awesome 

opportunity to have a 

team to be around. I en-

Contributing 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-July, are 

a prime example of friends 

who continue to play a 

sport they’ve loved all of 

their lives. 

The Mother Truckers, 

who have been a team in 

the league for the past 10 

seasons and had numerous 

Northbrook-resident players, 

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 

Northbrook members 

of Mother Truckers 

Jane “Miss Mac” Mc- 

Namara 

Kerry Stinchcomb 

Lis Collins 

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, 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

on during a game as part of the Winnetka Park District’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 

Northbrook’s 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 a new position at 

Mother Truckers games: 

third-base coach. 

“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.”
