Glencoe D35 Board of Education

Busy summer of school construction nears completion 

Todd Marver 

Freelance Reporter 

Glencoe School District 

35 students will see many 

changes to their buildings 

when they return to school 

later this month, including 

security glass installation 

(district-wide), corridor 

flooring (South and West), 

cafeteria/multi-purpose 

room and art room upgrades 

(South and West), 

auditorium renovation 

(South) and more. 

Director of Finance and 

Operations Jason Edelheit’s 

biggest worry before 

the project started 

was the corridor flooring, 

but he said it turned out 

well at the school board’s 

Thursday, Aug. 8 meeting. 

“Probably the biggest 

concern I had at the beginning 

was the flooring 

prep and leveling for the 

corridor flooring project 

because that was the key 

to the whole project,” he 

said. “Thankfully, the 

team really got that right. 

That’s led to a very successful 

installation for the 

flooring and for the balance 

of the project.” 

Edelheit was also complimentary 

of the finished 

product of the South and 

West School cafeterias. 

“The cafeterias at both 

South and West really 

look amazing,” he said. 

“We haven’t had 100 

some kids in there yet, but 

for the people we’ve had 

in there it really seems to 

be improving the acoustics.” 

Other projects this summer 

included: teacher 

office upgrades (West), 

front entrance upgrades 

(Central and South), security 

system upgrades 

(district-wide) and locker 

installation (South and 

West). 

There are some aspects 

of the project, however, 

that won’t be complete 

by the first day of school, 

such as the front entrance 

benches and precast 

curbs. But, the front entrance 

will be open for the 

first day of school. 

“The benches out here 

for the front entrances and 

the precast curbs won’t 

be in before the start of 

school,” he said. “We will 

of course be able to open 

the front entrance.” 

Another aspect of the 

project that won’t be complete 

by the first day of 

school is carpeting in the 

lower level offices at West 

School. 

“Some carpeting down 

at the lower level of West 

in some offices that we decided 

to replace because 

we were so concerned 

about the transitions from 

the corridor to the offices 

and the carpet was in poor 

condition anyways so we 

decided to add those offices 

to the project, but 

we just found out that 

carpet is on backorder, so 

that won’t quite be in,” he 

said.

Loyola upgrades ‘exceed 

expectations’ from community 

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

Jack Scapin considers 

every construction project 

he oversees special, but 

this one was a bit more 

personal than most. 

As project manager for 

Chicago-based Valenti 

Builders, he led a team that 

recently completed a nearly 

$20 million renovation 

project at the Loyola Academy 

campus in Wilmette 

that includes a new stateof-the-art 

pool and piazza. 

“It’s been fantastic to 

have the opportunity to 

give back as a part of this 

community,” said Scapin, 

who graduated from 

Loyola Academy in 1998, 

during a tour of the project 

for The Anchor last week. 

“To be able to give a year 

of my life back to this, or 

actually plus, has been 

special.” 

Daniel Valenti, class of 

2001, served as the project’s 

general contractor. 

A grand-opening celebration 

was held at the private, 

co-educational Jesuit 

college preparatory high 

school on Sunday, Aug. 

11. Following Mass in the 

West Gym and a blessing, 

Loyola staff, including 

President Rev. Patrick E. 

McGrath, SJ, welcomed 

attendees to check out the 

new facilities. 

“The idea of space, 

height, light make it a 

welcoming experience 

for people who come on 

our campus,” said Dennis 

Stonequist (class of 1990), 

executive vice president 

at Loyola Academy. “It’s 

way beyond exceeded our 

expectations.” 

Scapin said site work on 

the project began in May 

2018 with improvements 

to the parking lots and 

stormwater retention at 

Lake and Laramie avenues 

being the initial focus. In 

June 2018, a “Crush the 

Pool” event was held to 

say goodbye to the old 

pool. Following its destruction 

and the passage 

of a number of inspections, 

the project was “full on.” 

Among the challenges 

of the project was overcoming 

bad weather 

throughout and structural 

renovation issues. 

“The building is 60 

years old so you’re trying 

to fit a building in-between 

and build a new one while 

maintaining the existing 

building,” Stonequist said. 

Despite any of these 

problems, the project will 

be completed on time for 

the return of students on 

the first day of classes on 

Monday, Aug. 19. 

The centerpiece of the 

renovation is the John D. 

Norcross Aquatic Center 

with an estimated price tag 

of $16 million. It is dedicated 

to the memory of former

“We anticipate that we 

will be just under where 

we ended last year,” she 

said. “We will be at 1160 

or just over that because 

similar to the last few 

years families are relocating 

with zero contact 

ahead of time, coming in, 

showing up and registering. 

That’s continuing to 

happen and we are continuing 

to grow.” 

Wang added that the 

district plans on having 

the same number of sections 

at each grade level 

as had been previously 

planned on, which is five 

kindergarten sections, six 

first-grade sections, six 

second-grade sections, 

seven third-grade sections, 

six fourth-grade 

sections, six fifth-grade 

sections and seven sixthgrade 

sections. 

“We are able to incorporate 

and support in a 

positive way with the 

grade level sections as 

we predicted,” she said. 

“The one we were most 

carefully is kindergarten 

and we’re still in a really 

good spot for what we 

had planned for five sections.”

From Page 4 

swimming, diving and water 

polo team member John 

D. Norcross (Class of 1954) 

to honor his love of Loyola 

aquatics and his extraordinary 

legacy as the largest 

benefactor in the history of 

Loyola Academy. 

Norcross was also one 

of the first benefactors 

to invest in the school’s 

Aquatic Initiative in 2008. 

After he passed away in 

November 2014, Loyola 

received word that the loyal 

alumnus had engaged 

in a final act of generosity 

by leaving a multimilliondollar 

estate gift to Loyola 

Academy in his will. 

The new aquatic center 

houses an eight-lane, 

Stretch 25, “fast pool” 

with wide lanes, flush-tothe-deck 

gutters and two 

one-meter springboards, 

as well as a movable bulkhead, 

which allows simultaneous 

swimming and 

diving practices and faster 

transitions between swimming 

and diving events 

during competitive meets. 

The moveable bulkhead 

will also enable Loyola to 

host water polo games and 

championship swim meets 

in faster all-deep water and 

allow swimmers to warm 

up and cool down in the 

diving area before and after 

their events. 

“It weighs 13,800 

pounds and is all fiberglass. 

It was custom-made for the 

school in the state of Washington,” 

Scapin said. 

Wide deck areas around 

the pool will make competitive 

events more efficient 

and comfortable for aquatic 

athletes and officials, as 

well as Ramblers and community 

members participating 

in instructional and 

recreational programs. 

The new pool is housed 

in a light-filled, two-story 

natatorium with separate 

team and physical education 

locker areas, a coaches’ 

office, a wet classroom 

adjacent to the pool area 

and advanced mechanical 

systems designed to ensure 

optimal indoor air quality. 

“The natural light improves 

the swimming experience,” 

Scapin said. 

“The flexibility of the 

space is what’s huge.” 

A 294-seat spectator 

gallery with retractable 

bleachers will enable 

Loyola swimming and 

diving coaches and physical 

education teachers to 

repurpose the gallery level 

as a dry classroom between 

swimming and diving 

meets. 

Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ, leads a mass in the new piazza adjacent to the pool. 

Photo by Steve Donisch 

Scapin noted the athletic 

and physical education 

departments at Loyola assisted 

throughout the entire 

process as their offices 

had to be relocated due to 

structural considerations 

with the building of a wall. 

A large electronic scoreboard, 

utilizing a Colorado 

timing system, overlooks 

the pool that Scapin described 

as “next-gen” with 

technological characteristics 

that make it unique not 

just to the area but in the 

state. 

Next to the aquatic center 

is a piazza that will 

serve as a hub for Rambler 

life and set the stage 

for a renaissance in arts 

programming, which will 

culminate in the construction 

of a new theater for 

the performing arts slated 

to be built in 2022 during 

Loyola’s second phase of 

construction. 

Inspired by the St. Ignatius 

Piazza in front of 

the Church of St. Ignatius 

in Rome, Loyola’s piazza 

will be a welcoming place 

where students and members 

of the larger community 

can come together. 

Scapin noted Valenti 

Builders, which was originally 

located in Northfield, 

is also currently working on 

building the Evans Scholar 

Foundation building at The 

Glen in Glenview. As the 

Loyola project comes to a 

close, he’s excited to show 

it off for generations of future 

Ramblers. 

“I do my job best when 

I’m able to connect with 

the client,” Scapin said. “In 

this scenario, I also feel like 

I’m the client. I want to see 

this place succeed.”



THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Three charged in knifepoint 

robbery in Lake Forest 

The armed robbery of a 

teenager in Lake Forest has 

led to the arrests of adult 

and two teenagers. 

Kevon L. Jones, 18, of 

Evanston, and two 17-yearolds, 

have all been charged 

with aggravated robbery. 

The Lake Forest Police 

Department was dispatched 

to the 400 block of 

East Westminster at 2 p.m. 

Aug. 6, after an armed robbery 

was reported. 

According to Lake Forest 

Police, a 13-year-old 

had been robbed at knifepoint. 

The robbery stemmed 

from a drug transaction that 

had been orchestrated between 

juveniles from both 

Lake Forest and Evanston. 

A description of the 

suspects and vehicle was 

broadcast to all area police 

agencies. A Highland 

Park police officer patrolling 

southbound on Illinois 

Route 41 spotted the vehicle, 

which was pulled over 

after additional officers responded. 

The suspects were arrested 

in Skokie, near the 

Westfield Old Orchard mall. 

Officers recovered money 

that had been stolen 

from the victim inside the 

suspects’ vehicle, as well as 

a knife that had been tossed 

along the Edens. 

Deputy Lake Forest Police 

Chief Rob Copeland 

said the knife was recovered 

between Lake Cook 

Road and Dundee Road. 

Jones is being held in 

the Lake County Jail on 

$75,000 bond. His next 

court date is Aug. 27 in 

Waukegan.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Trustees unanimously vote 

to officially revoke One 

Winnetka 

After years of heated 

meetings and debate, One 

Winnetka is no more. 

The Winnetka Village 

Council voted unanimously 

to revoke the development 

agreement for the 

much-debated One Winnetka 

mixed-use project 

during its Tuesday, Aug. 

6 regular meeting, despite 

appeals for more time 

from the project’s developer. 

The council also terminated 

the zoning and subdivision 

approvals for the 

development planned for 

the southeast corner of the 

intersection of Elm Street 

and Lincoln Avenue. 

At its July 16 meeting, 

the council agreed to put 

a resolution to revoke the 

development agreement 

on the agenda for its Aug. 

6 meeting. 

The Village said the developer 

had defaulted on 

several provisions of the 

development agreement, 

namely with respect to 

providing a third-party 

guaranty, closing on the 

Conney’s Pharmacy property 

at 736 Elm St., and 

public health and safety 

concerns at the property. 

“The development 

agreement required the developer 

to provide a thirdparty 

financial guaranty 

before Nov. 20, 2018,” 

Village Attorney Peter 

Friedman said. “As of 

today, the developer has 

not complied with this requirement, 

specifically the 

developer has not provided 

fully executed guarantee 

of completion …”

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Village Board approves 

29-home development in 

northwest Glenview 

The Glenview Village 

Board unanimously approved 

ordinances on 

Aug. 6 granting Lexington 

Homes annexation 

and rezoning for a 29-lot 

single-family subdivision 

of detached homes known 

as Parkside of Glenview 

to be constructed at 3365 

Willow Road. 

The undeveloped property 

west of Landwehr 

Road has been used for agricultural 

purposes. 

Located near the Tri- 

State Tollway, it is surrounded 

on three sides by 

the 1978 Indian Ridge residential 

development, the 

1997 Glenridge Meadows 

residential development 

and another residential 

area in Northbrook. 

At the outset of the 

public hearing preceding 

the voting that took 

place during the Trustees 

regular meeting, Planning 

Division manager Jeff 

Rogers gave a thorough 

presentation during which 

he expanded on Lexington 

Homes’ plans for the 

development that was earlier 

approved by the Plan 

Commission by a 5-0 vote. 

The Plan Commission 

had considered three site 

plans and approved the 

one that called for a private 

gate for Fire Department 

emergency-vehicle 

access to be installed on 

Meadowview Drive at the 

west end. 

There will be four rows 

of homes on lots, ranging 

in size from 7,500-13,000 

square feet.

Registration opens for Family Service’s golf outing 

Submitted Content 

Still in its infancy, the 

second annual Tee Up for 

FSG golf outing will be held 

on Friday, Sept. 13, at the 

serene Glencoe Golf Club. 

Last year, the event’s 

inaugural year, the event 

raised more than $9,000 to 

benefit Family Service of 

Glencoe, Glencoe’s primary 

mental health and family 

support services nonprofit 

organization. 

Once again led by FSG 

Board member and Village 

resident, Rick Richker, 

the event promises to be a 

blast. Featuring “whimsical 

surprises” throughout the 

course and unique activities, 

such as a bazooka ball 

launcher or a “beer goggle 

tee-off challenge,” this 

philanthropic day on the 

course is one not to miss. 

This year’s goal is to raise 

$10,000 in order to bridge 

the gap between the incomebased 

sliding scale counseling 

fees paid by more than 

half of FSG’s clients and the 

actual cost of service. Each 

fiscal year, FSG provides 

about $225,000 in these 

subsidies and relies on fundraising 

events like Tee Up 

for FSG in order to underwrite 

the costs. 

Gather your friends, family, 

colleagues and join us 

on Sept. 13. Individual golfers, 

foursomes and sponsorships 

start at only $175. Not 

a golfer? No problem! Support 

the event and our agency 

with a hole sponsorship 

or a general donation. Visit 

www.bidpal.net/fsggolf19 

to learn more and get your 

spot today. 

Rooted in Glencoe for 

more than 100 years, 

Family Service of Glencoe 

strengthens our community 

through highly 

confidential services that 

prevent and treat emotional 

and psychological problems.

Glencoe: Yesterday and Today 

Are you ready for some football? 

Glencoe Historical 

Society 

Contributing Columnist 

Throughout its history, 

Glencoe has 

been the home of 

a number of great professional 

athletes. As the 

National Football League 

prepares to enter its 100th 

season in a few weeks, it is 

timely to take a look back 

at one of Glencoe’s most 

famous football players, 

“Pug” Rentner. 

Born Ernest John 

Rentner in 1910, “Pug” 

grew up in Joliet, where he 

attended Farragut School 

before entering Northwestern 

University in 1930 as 

an explosive fullback who 

was expected to contribute 

substantially to an already 

talented Northwestern 

team. He used his speed, 

passing and kicking skills 

that year to help lead 

Northwestern to a conference 

title. His best year for 

the Wildcats, however, was 

1931. 

At 6 feet, 187 pounds, 

Rentner has consistently 

been regarded as one of 

the best athletes to play 

football at Northwestern. 

“Pug” was known for 

being an accurate passer 

and a dazzling breakaway 

runner. He had great arm 

strength and huge hands 

that enabled him to “thread 

the needle” with passes 

of 60 yards or more. In 

almost every game he 

played, Rentner reeled off 

long runs from scrimmage, 

punt returns, kickoffs or 

pass interceptions. 

In the opening game of 

the 1931 season, the Widcats 

hosted the University 

of Nebraska at Dyche Stadium. 

Under the watchful 

eye of Chicago’s most famous 

gangster, Al Capone 

(who headed to Evanston 

for relief from his tax 

evasion problems), “Pug” 

scored three touchdowns 

in the first 10 minutes of 

a game in which Northwestern 

coasted to victory. 

Coincidentally, that Wildcat 

team also included Irv 

Kupcinet who would later 

become a celebrated Chicago 

newspaper columnist. 

Kupcinet transferred from 

the team, however, after 

getting into a fistfight with 

the coach’s brother. 

Stopping “Pug” Rentner 

was the focus of Ohio 

State when Northwestern 

faced them in a 1931 

matchup in Columbus. 

The strategy almost 

worked as the Buckeyes 

held the Weldcats scoreless 

in the first half. A rousing 

halftime speech from the 

coach, coupled with a few 

offensive adjustments, 

however, led to a 50-yard 

touchdown run by Rentner 

in the third quarter which 

proved to be the game 

winner. 

Renter similarly 

wreaked havoc on the 

University of Illinois that 

year. He ran 66 yards for a 

score just one minute into 

a game in which Northwestern 

scored 25 points in 

the first 10 minutes of the 

contest. Minnesota, also in 

the hunt for a Big Ten title, 

fell victim to Rentner’s 

skill in an exciting game in 

which “Pug” scored on a 

95-yard kickoff return and 

then again on a 70-yard 

punt return on the way to 

another Wildcat victory. 

Rentner led Northwestern 

through an “almost” 

undefeated season and a 

share of the Big Ten title 

in 1931. The team played 

Notre Dame to a scoreless 

tie and then lost to Purdue 

in the Thanksgiving Day 

Shiners’ game at Soldier 

Field. “Pug” was nevertheless 

named an All-American 

that year and was later 

inducted into the College 

Football Hall of Fame. 

He played four years 

in the National Football 

League, three with the 

then-Boston Redskins and 

one year, 1937, with the 

Chicago Bears. He moved 

to Glencoe after leaving 

his football career in favor 

of a job as an investment 

securities banker. When he 

retired from banking, he 

enjoyed helping his Glencoe 

neighbors as a beloved 

employee of Wienecke’s 

Hardware. “Pug” Rentner 

died in 1978 at the age 

of 67.

From the Sports Editor 

Cheers to a new look at Loyola Academy 

Michael Wojtychiw 

m.wojtychiw@22ndcenturymedia.com 

Whoa. Oh wow. 

Those were 

the first words 

out of my mouth when fellow 

editors Eric DeGrechie 

and Megan Bernard and 

I got the chance to tour 

Loyola Academy’s renovations 

Aug. 7 before it was 

open to the public Aug. 11. 

For those that may not 

be aware, Loyola is going 

through a multiple-phase 

renovation, with phase 

one, a new pool and a 

piazza, being the first to be 

completed. 

As a Loyola graduate, 

Class of 2003, seeing all 

the new changes were really 

cool. 

Having taken swim 

classes and covered games 

and meets in the old pool, 

seeing a new eight-lane 

pool that will allow the 

Ramblers to host championship 

meets was something 

to witness because 

that wasn’t the case before. 

In fact, it almost looked 

like the space had doubled 

in size. 

The new pool will allow 

natural-light to enter 

the natatorium and those 

using the pool will be able 

to watch a home football 

game from the pool and 

vice versa thanks to open 

windows. 

As great as the pool 

looked, the piazza, a space 

Loyola Academy graduates (left to right) Michael 

Wojtychiw (Class of 2003), The Anchor sports editor; 

Jack Scapin (Class of 1998), Valenti Builders project 

manager; and Dennis Stonequist (Class of 1990), 

executive vice president at Loyola; meet up at the 

Wilmette school. Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

that will serve as a hub for 

Rambler life and set the 

stage for a renaissance in 

arts programming, was 

also impressive. 

Standing in the currently 

wide-open space, I 

envisioned myself sitting 

around, talking to friends 

and having a good time, 

whether it be before or 

after school, during lunch 

or a free period. The 

new space will also give 

students another area to 

study or even just hang out 

by themselves if they so 

choose. 

The piazza is almost like 

a gateway to the rest of the 

school, as from that area, 

you could go upstairs, 

downstairs or into two 

different hallways to get to 

where you want to go. 

One of those hallways is 

the one by the East Gym, 

which won’t look much 

like it did at the end of 

May. Moving the campus 

store to a different portion 

of the building allowed 

Loyola to paint one wall 

maroon, while adding the 

school’s logo and emblem 

to the other side. 

That small gesture of 

a fresh coat of paint gave 

the hallway new life, a 

vibrancy that wasn’t there 

before. 

While phase one is going 

to be great for Loyola, 

I’m also really excited 

for phase two, which will 

begin in 2022. 

That phase will include 

a new theater for the performing 

arts. 

Yes, as other schools 

are cutting arts programs 

and getting rid of theater 

opportunities, Loyola is 

doing the opposite and 

embracing the arts community 

that’s long thrived 

at the school. 

As someone who knew 

a lot of thespians during 

his time at the Wilmette 

school, I can’t wait to see 

what their reaction will be 

like when the new theater 

opens. It’ll probably be 

close to what mine was 

go figure 

$20M 

The 

1 

after seeing the new pool. 

After joking with tour 

guides Robin Hunt and 

Dennis Stonequist that 

prior to the renovations, 

the school looked almost 

like it did when I was a 

student, I can definitely say 

that it no longer looks like 

it did between 1999-2003. 

An intriguing number from this week’s edition 

cost of the first 

phase of Loyola 

Academy’s project.

New Trier alum Rainn Wilson 

shares faith with local youth 

Nora Crumley 

Editorial Intern 

Rainn Wilson, actor and 

New Trier graduate, will be 

holding an interactive presentation 

for young people 

Sunday, Aug. 18, at the 

Bahá’í House of Worship 

Welcome Center in Wilmette. 

Wilson, famous for his 

role as Dwight Schrute 

on the pop-culture classic 

TV sitcom “The Office,” 

is a member of the Bahá’í 

Faith and is committed to 

discussing spirituality with 

young people. 

This Sunday, Wilson 

will host “The Purpose 

of our Physical Reality” 

at 7 p.m. at Bahá’í House 

of Worship. This interactive 

discussion is open to 

all youth and young adults 

ages 13-30. Wilson hopes 

this discussion will jumpstart 

conversations about 

spirituality and how to live 

a metaphysical life in the 

modern world. 

“We need spirituality to 

connect as one human family 

sharing this globe and 

sharing its ever-dwindling 

resources,” Wilson said. 

“We need to think about 

connecting on a heart level 

with one another, seeking 

to be of service to the poorest 

among us and not being 

consumed with the material 

world and all its traps.” 

Wilson believes these 

conversations with young 

people are essential, especially 

with growing sentiments 

of divisiveness within 

our society. 

“Humanity is in a crisis 

state and young people, for 

the most part, are not terribly 

concerned with that 

as far as I see at least in 

terms of their action,” Wilson 

said in an interview at 

the Bahá’í House of Worship. 

“Many things can 

be accomplished through 

legislation, political activism 

and fighting for social 

justice but the roots of real 

change in humanity lie in 

spirituality.” 

Wilson believes reconnecting 

with their spirituality 

will alleviate some of 

the concerning side effects 

in modern life. 

“I do encourage people 

to seek out what spiritual 

answers might be out there 

from all the world’s greatest 

faiths because young people 

are suffering from anxiety, 

social disorders, loneliness, 

depression and suicidal ideations, 

and some of the answers 

to this suffering can 

be found through spiritual 

practice,” Wilson said. 

Unlike other major 

monotheistic religions, the 

Bahá’í Faith recognizes 

the teachings and prophets 

of the major world religions, 

including Buddha, 

Jesus and Muhammad, and 

uses these lessons to create 

their own spiritual path. 

However, followers of the 

Bahá’í Faith also recognize 

Bahá’u’lláh, a new 

prophet, that they believe 

is a continuation of God’s 

words and provides guidance 

for the modern world. 

Nicolai Valdivieso-Sinyakov, 

a young member of 

the Bahá’í Faith, explained 

this idea. 

“One way you can think 

of it is as a kindergarten 

teacher and an eighth-grade 

teacher both went through 

the same amount of schooling, 

but the kindergarten 

teacher isn’t going to reveal 

the same things as 

the eighth-grade teacher,” 

1 

Valdivieso-Sinyakov said. 

“It’s a progressive thing; a 

young child can’t contemplate 

what is calculus, but 

the teacher always knew 

calculus. These teachers 

are the prophets, like Jesus, 

Muhammad and Buddha.” 

In essence, the Bahá’í 

Faith is a progression of 

the major monotheistic religions. 

One of the newest major 

religions in the world, The 

Bahá’í Faith was established 

in 1863 on principles 

such as the unity of humanity, 

the harmony of religion 

and science, elimination of 

all forms of prejudice and 

equality between women 

and men. 

And from nearly it’s beginnings, 

the Bahá’í Faith 

has been a cornerstone 

of the North Shore. The 

Bahá’í House of Worship, 

the temple across from 

Gillson Beach in Wilmette, 

is the oldest surviving 

House of Worship and the 

flagship temple for all of 

North America. The House 

of Worship was constructed 

from 1912-1953 and is 

open to everyone regardless 

of religion as a place 

for silent prayer. 

It was the Bahá’í House 

of Worship that brought 

Wilson and his family to 

Wilmette. During Wilson’s 

time on the North Shore, 

he attended and graduated 

from New Trier High 

School. Wilson speaks 

highly of his experience at 

New Trier and even spoke 

at the commencement ceremony 

for the 2018 graduating 

class. 

“My time at New Trier 

launched my acting career,”

From Page 19 

Wilson said. “My life would not 

be what it is without New Trier.” 

Wilson attributes New Trier’s 

success as an educational institution 

to its “culture and heritage of 

learning” and its understanding 

that the arts are more than just for 

fun or to build a college resume. 

Wilson appreciated his time at 

New Trier and hopes to remind 

graduates and students of the 

privilege they have from attending 

such an institution and to understand 

the responsibility that 

comes with this privilege. 

“I wanted for the kids of New 

Trier to deeply understand their 

privilege and that their privilege 

is not a bad thing and to not feel 

that liberal guilt about it but to 

understand it is as something they 

can share,” Wilson said. “I can 

use my privilege to share, and I 

can work for the less fortunate 

and all the kids who didn’t get to 

go to a school like New Trier. And 

most importantly, I can work hard 

to make other schools around the 

world as good as New Trier.”

Anne Loucks Gallery invites 

public to new paintings exhibit 

1 

Submitted Content 

Anne Loucks Gallery is 

pleased to announce the 

opening of an exhibition 

of new paintings by artists 

Melanie Parke and Richard 

Kooyman. 

The public is invited to 

the opening reception with 

the artists from 5-7 p.m. 

Aug. 23 at the Gallery, 309 

Park Ave., Glencoe. The 

exhibit closes Oct. 31. 

Both Parke and Kooyman 

are highly accomplished 

artists who capture 

the vistas and settings in 

and around their northern 

Michigan studios in styles 

both distinct and enduring. 

Parke combines lush, textured 

surfaces with brilliant 

color in her still life, interior, 

and abstract compositions. 

Her work represents 

an ongoing study of the balance 

between abstraction 

and realism, reference and 

memory, spontaneity and 

control. While her subject 

is varied, each composition 

includes her intuitive sense 

of space, mark making, color, 

and light. 

Kooyman’s paintings 

reflect the changing light 

and seasons of the landscape 

and shoreline. He 

captures tree lines, foliage, 

dunes, and sunlit water 

with color and light that is 

both expressive and profound. 

With smooth, gestural 

brushwork, Kooyman 

conveys a landscape’s distinguishing 

features with 

sculptural forms and patterns, 

offering the viewer 

a sense of expansiveness 

and tranquility. 

Anne Loucks Gallery 

specializes in contemporary 

American painting, 

sculpture and works on paper. 

The gallery is located 

at the corner of Green Bay 

Road and Park Avenue in 

Glencoe. Gallery hours 

are from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. 

Tuesday-Saturday, and by 

appointment.

La Plancha Loca plants roots in Highwood following Taco Fest success 

Olivia Vallone 

Editorial Intern 

2 

The building at 548 

Sheridan Road was a diner, 

dry cleaner, two hair 

salons and a Metro PCS 

store before finally becoming 

home to the unique taqueria 

La Plancha Loca. 

Jorge Blancas owns 

the shop and runs it with 

his son Jorge Jr., both of 

Northfield. They decided 

to name their taqueria La 

Plancha Loca since in 

Spanish, “plancha” can 

mean flat top, which is 

what they cook their tacos 

on, and Jorge was called 

“loco” by his close friends 

because of how much he 

worked. Plus, the name is 

catchy and hard to forget, 

according to Jorge. 

“We built everything as 

a family you know,” Jorge 

Jr. said. “Which is really 

cool, everything is handmade.” 

The pair started their 

taco business by catering 

different events. Eventually 

they worked their way 

up to participating in the 

North Shore Taco Fest and 

won two years in a row. 

“That really motivated 

us to open this place cause 

we were like ‘OK, the taco 

fest is happening here and 

this is where we’re getting 

the support and we 

want to open [the taqueria] 

in Highwood,’” Jorge Jr. 

said. 

So far, Jorge and Jorge 

Jr. have had their store 

open for three months after 

working on it and building 

it for almost a year. They 

are grateful for the support 

from the Highwood community 

and have gotten a 

lot of positive feedback. 

La Plancha Loca is a 

very family-oriented business, 

all the taco recipes 

they got from living in

peppers on top of a corn tortilla. Photos by Erin Yarnall/22nd Century Media 

Michoacán, Mexico. Before 

they opened, Jorge 

Jr.’s grandmothers came in 

from Mexico to do a quality 

assurance check on the 

salsas and other food to be 

served. Jorge reported that 

they passed the test. 

“Growing up in Mexico, 

the tacos here really didn’t 

compare,” Jorge Jr. said. 

“So we decided to open 

up a taqueria and bring 

authentic flavors from our 

home.” 

Jorge Jr. explained that 

a normal taqueria is not 

supposed to be a sit down 

place like a restaurant. 

Visitors are supposed to 

be able to talk right to the 

cooks in the kitchen and 

see the tacos they ordered 

being made right in front 

of them. La Plancha Loca 

gives customers that exact 

authentic experience. 

Along with the authentic 

food and experience, 

Jorge has decorations all 

over the taqueria to remind 

everyone of Michoacán. 

The little sombreros and 

pictures on the wall are 

from their hometown in 

Mexico.

Monday-Thursday 

10-12 a.m. Friday- 

Saturday 

10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday 

A group from 22nd Century 

Media were invited 

to try some of La Plancha 

Loca’s signature dishes. 

The family brought out 

some of their favorite original 

tacos. 

The chef first brought 

out some homemade chips 

with guacamole, pico de 

gallo and three different 

homemade salsas. One of 

them is an avocado salsa 

which has a surprise kick 

at the end. 

The first taco Jorge 

wanted us to try was the 

Gringa ($3.50), which is 

al pastor (marinated pork) 

with melted cheese on a 

flour tortilla. 

“It’s almost like a Mexican 

shawarma,” Jorge Jr. 

said about the meat in the 

taco. “It actually came 

from shawarma, they 

brought it from over there 

to Mexico and Mexicans 

loved it. They just put their 

own spice to it and put it on 

a spin and that’s Al Pastor.” 

Though they have almost 

every meat imaginable 

to fill their tacos, 

Jorge and his son want to 

have something for everyone. 

Therefore, they have a 

vegan taco available called 

the vegetariano ($2.99), 

which one of our editors, 

who is a vegetarian, loved. 

Inside this taco they have 

soy chorizo, which tastes 

almost exactly like the real 

thing. 

According to Jorge Jr., 

they plan to add more 

vegetarian options in the 

future to accomodate all 

eaters. 

Next, Jorge Jr. brought 

out some of his own creations 

for us to sample. He 

had the idea for the two 

shrimp tacos on the menu, 

the fried shrimp ($3.50) 

and the plancha shrimp 

($3.50). 

The fried shrimp is so 

thick that the chef put the 

meat on two tortillas so it 

The restaurant’s vegetariano taco ($2.99 each) is allvegetarian, 

made with soy chorizo and topped with 

Mexican cactus, onion and cilantro. 

The gringas ($3.50 each) are flour tortillas filled with al 

pastor and Chihuahua cheese.

pork and served on a corn tortilla with cilantro and onion. 

would be enough to cover 

the fish. The plancha 

shrimp on the other hand is 

cooked on the flat top grill. 

La Plancha Loca also has 

regular al pastor ($2.60), 

campechano ($2.60), diablos 

($2.99) and Jorge’s 

favorite, lengua ($2.99), 

among many others. 

Right before the editors 

left, Jorge Jr. mentioned 

that the taqueria had plans 

to switch to reusable containers 

in place of plastic 

bags in the coming months. 

La Plancha Loca also 

has a Taco Tuesday deal, 

when select tacos are $2 a 

piece.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Mary Boesen 

The rising Loyola senior is a key member 

of the girls golf team that finished sixth in 

state last year. 

Do you have any superstitions 

before, during or after a match? 

My team and I listen to “Unforgettable” 

by Thomas Rhett before our matches because 

it references the 14th of October and 

that’s usually when the state finals are. 

When and why did you start 

golfing? 

My dad has always been an avid golfer 

and my older siblings played in high 

school, so I’ve always been around the 

game and decided to pick it up more seriously 

in seventh grade. 

What’s one thing people don’t 

know about you? 

I wear my Loyola hat and carry my 

Loyola bag in all my summer tournaments 

and non-Loyola tournaments because I’m 

really proud to play for Loyola and it’s a 

great way to show school spirit. 

What’s the best part about 

golfing? 

It’s not an individual sport, it’s a team 

sport. You get to be outdoors, too. 

What’s the hardest part about 

golf? 

The hardest part is probably how long 

it takes because if you’re in a foursome, 

it can take five hours. Playing in a lot of 

different conditions can be rough as well. 

What’s been your favorite moment 

at Loyola? 

When I individually won regionals last 

year and my team got second. It was one 

of the best days of my life and set the tone 

for the rest of the playoffs. 

If you could play another sport, 

Photo Submitted 

what would it be? 

I’d probably play volleyball. I used to 

play when I was younger but I’m pretty 

short, so it probably wouldn’t have 

worked out. 

If you won the lottery, what would 

you do with the money? 

I’d probably donate it to Sister Paulanne. 

I went to OLPH and she’s one of 

the nuns that works there. I’d probably 

splurge on my dream car, probably a 

Range Rover. 

If you could travel anywhere in the 

world, where would you go? 

Greece and Barcelona. My sister studied 

abroad there and I think it’s pretty 

amazing. The photos she has are great. 

If you had $5 at Walgreens, what 

would you buy? 

Kit Kats and a Diet Coke. 

Interview by Sports Editor Michael Wojtychiw 

The Varsity: North Shore Podcast 

Guys prepare for fall with 

storylines to keep eye on 

Staff Report 

In this week’s episode of 

The Varsity: North Shore, 

the only podcast focused 

on North Shore sports, 

hosts Michal Dwojak, 

Nick Frazier and Michael 

Wojtychiw get ready for 

the fall sports season by 

talking about some of the 

storylines they’re looking

productive than having 

them roam on the streets 

and engaging in other 

activities.” 

Under his tutelage, the 

kids learned skills beyond 

basketball — like conflict 

resolution and leadership. 

Etched into Cook’s 

memory is the debut game 

on the new basketball 

court. Surrounding the 

court were 500 or so people, 

some standing atop 

cars, others lying on the 

ground. 

Each had a hand above 

their brow to shield the 

beaming sun, but perhaps 

also to envision the impact 

basketball will soon 

have on its people. 

“It was something I will 

remember forever,” Cook 

said. “Playing in that 

game, playing in front of

from anything I had 

experienced in the past. 

I want to go back, but I 

knew it was something I 

wasn’t going to experience 

again, so I just tried 

to live in the moment, absorb 

what was going on.” 

All the while, Cook was 

trying to raise $10,000 

for a personal fundraiser, 

“Helping Refugees in the 

Nakivale Settlement!” 

To spread the word, he 

shared Facebook posts, 

made Instagram stories, 

sent texts, and mailed letters. 

But internally, he worried: 

What if they don’t 

identify with my cause? 

Why do I deserve to ask 

for money from people? 

Every day, he called 

his mom. She instilled 

faith into him, reminding 

him of his prior successes.

group,” she told him. 

“I learned over time, 

that when Steven sets his 

mind to something, he’s 

generally able to achieve 

it, or he’ll figure out another 

way around and 

take a lesson from failure,” 

Patricia said. 

In the end, he reached 

his target. The $10,395 

raised will go towards 

basketball equipment 

(hoops, basketballs, jerseys, 

etc.) and the entrepreneurship 

hub (mainly 

computers). In December, 

the final results will 

be shared. 

“I’m looking forward 

to sharing the final results 

of the impact the fundraising 

will ultimately 

have,” he said.

Alumni Spotlight

New Trier grad Cook makes drastic career change post-basketball 

Drew Favakeh, Sports Intern 

The way Steven Cook saw 

things, playing basketball overseas 

was an experience. After a 

stellar season at Princeton, he’d 

put in his time, see the world, 

make some friends. 

And he did that from 2017 

to 2018, playing for BC Tartu 

Ulikool in Estonia and New Heroes 

Den Bosch in the Netherlands. 

In Estonia, he averaged 

11.1 points and 5.5 rebounds 

and in the Netherlands, he averaged 

11 points and 4.2 rebounds. 

But when he suffered a mild 

concussion in the seventh game 

of his second season, he decided 

the time was right to do what 

he really wanted: volunteer 

work. 

At the core, it’s who he is — 

giving, caring, empathetic. It’s 

why he was named to the 2017 

Allstate NABC Good Works 

Team, one of 10 athletes to earn 

such an honor. 

To bridge his past to the future, 

though, Cook needed help. 

So he called Rachael Ferguson, 

his former Princeton sociology 

professor and Academic-Athletic 

Fellow with the men’s basketball 

team. Ferguson, who has 

volunteered in Jordan and Bangladesh, 

recommended Uganda 

and the Nakivale Refugee Settlement 

– home to 100,000 refugees 

largely from eight different 

countries, 80 percent of whom 

are estimated to be under the 

age of 35. 

And in the Nakivale Settlement 

was Opportunigee — the 

world’s first self-organized empowerment 

and social entrepreneurship 

refugee hub, which 

pushes people to get the skills 

to become entrepreneurs rather 

than giving out money and resources. 

Cook’s original plan had been 

to travel to Europe and Asia for 

four months. But three months 

in, he felt unfulfilled. He was in 

Morocco when his parents and 

two brothers visited him. There, 

he broke them the news: he’d 

be spending his last month in 

Uganda. 

His mother, Patricia Gorman- 

Cook, took it hardest. First, her 

maternal instincts kicked in: 

Was it safe? Was it sanitary? 

Once Steven alleviated those 

concerns, she decided it’d be a 

worthwhile experience. 

“You worry about some 

things, of course, but I was fully 

supportive of him spending his 

last month or so of his travels 

giving back,” she said. “I was 

actually proud of him that he 

was going to give back some 

time to help others less fortunate. 

It’s something that was an 

important aspect of him growing 

up, that we did as a family. 

When you’re blessed, you give 

back. You make sure you help 

others as well as continue to 

educate yourself.” 

When Cook arrived in Uganda, 

he confronted a culture 

shock. He wasn’t in Winnetka 

— which, according to a 2010 

New Trier alumnus Steven Cook (center right) slaps hands with one 

of the students he taught basketball to. Photo submitted 

census was 94.8 percent white 

— anymore. 

In the 100,000 person settlement, 

Cook didn’t spot another 

Caucasian. 

Kids teased Cook. “Mizoongoo, 

mizoongoo!” 

What are you doing here?” 

But Steven’s mother — who 

volunteered with Cook at the 

night ministry, the Chicago 

Food Depository, and Faith 

Hope and Charity Church — 

saw it as an opportunity to develop 

empathy. 

“He was the only white person 

he saw all the time he was 

there. Kind of good to do that 

sometimes, so that you have 

empathy for others that are in 

that position. I thought it was 

super interesting that he was 

able to experience what the 

human spirit capable of when 

faced with dire situations.” 

The racial difference, as well 

as the language barrier, made 

the transition difficult. 

In Estonia, English is the 

second-most commonly spoken 

language — half the population 

speaks it. In the Netherlands, 

English is the most common 

language, at 89 percent. 

“I got looks if I tried to speak 

Dutch in the Netherlands,” said 

Cook, who is only fluent in English. 

The Nakivale settlement’s 

population, on the other hand, 

speaks seven different languages. 

“Luckily,” Cook said, “while I 

was there, I had a guy who spent 

a lot of time with me who was a 

former Congolese refugee.” 

The refugee was what they 

call “a fixer” — someone who 

communicates, translates and 

hang out with you. 

When Cook arrived at Nakivale, 

plans were already in 

place to build its first basketball 

court. He turned out to be the final 

ingredient they needed. 

Even as a recent retiree, Cook 

still loves basketball. 

He enjoys the demands of being 

a leader, which he was as the 

two-time captain of Princeton, 

which made the NCAA tournament 

in 2017 for the first time 

since 2010-11. Less important 

to him are the All-Ivy League 

and Baltic player of the month 

honors he earned. 

In Nakivale, Cook served as 

the ultimate team player. He 

connected sports and community 

in the lives of refugees previously 

torn apart by war, conflict 

and trauma. 

As the lone former professional 

basketball player in the 

settlement, he trained 80 or so 

kids. He also held film room 

sessions, showing Africans in 

the NBA: Congo’s Serge Ibaka; 

Cameroon’s Pascal Siakam and 

Joel Embiid; and South Sudan’s 

Luol Deng. 

“One of the biggest things is 

that basketball is a great use of 

your energy towards productive 

things,” Cook said. “If you 

can have them spend time on 

the basketball court and learn 

good character values and lead-

New Trier graduate takes 22nd at Illinois Open 

Staff Report

Wilmette’s Eric Meierdierks 

finished in a tie for 

22nd place at last week’s 

Illinois Open. The tournament, 

which ran from Aug. 

5-7 at The Glen Club in 

Glenview, featured many 

of the state’s top amateur 

and professional golfers. 

Meierdierks, who fired 

a 79 in the first round, recovered 

by shooting a 68 

and 69 the final two days, 

making the cut after the 

second round. The New 

Trier graduate is a member 

of the Korn Ferry Tour, a 

developmental tour for the 

PGA Tour. Meierdierks 

has been on the professional 

tour since 2006 and 

had previously won the Illinois 

Open in 2010.

lege’s campus, it was just 

something that set it apart 

from the others. 

“It wasn’t really on 

my radar until last July, 

like mid-July,” Sullivan 

said. “When I stepped on 

campus, it was gorgeous. 

I loved it. I walked all 

around campus. I like how 

the city’s five minutes 

away. I also met the track 

team at Boston College 

and they were all super 

cool and super friendly. 

“I think just when I 

stepped on that campus 

and met the team, it felt 

like a family to me and 

I knew that this was the 

place where I wanted to 

go because not only did 

they have track, but they 

also have other aspects 

of college. Academically 

they’re an awesome 

school, beautiful campus 

to walk around and great 

people, great environment.” 

While Sullivan isn’t 

sure what she wants to 

study yet, she said she’s 

interested in psychology, 

communications and marketing. 

But before she gets to 

Chestnut Hill, she’s been 

working out to prepare 

herself for what she’s 

going to encounter collegiately. 

She’s been running on 

her own throughout the 

week, anywhere from 

four to six miles at a time 

as she builds her mileage 

and endurance. She also 

works out at Redefined 

Fitness in Wilmette. 

While she won’t be running 

on the cross-country 

team at Boston College, 

save maybe a meet or two, 

she’ll be training with the 

squad to help build her 

mileage and endurance. 

“So I think I’m going to 

try the 1500 in college,” 

she said. “I definitely 

want to run in the DMR 

(Distance Medley Relay). 

I believe I’ll run with 

the upperclassmen in the 

DMR and I feel that BC 

would have a very strong 

DMR if they put me and 

some other girls in there. 

“I’ll probably focus 

running the 800, but I 

love running the relays. 

Track and field is an individual 

sport as well as a 

team sport. So I love running 

the relays. I love being 

able to get ready with 

my teammates, my relay 

teammates. So I get very 

excited about running 

those.”

to them or ask her teammates, 

“Oh, can you repeat what the 

workout was for today?” 

Other than making sure the 

implant didn’t fall out, she said 

the only other time the implant 

could have been an issue 

was during her freshman year 

when she ran the leadoff leg of 

the relay. Being nervous that 

she wouldn’t hear the gun, her 

coaches took action. 

“My coaches talked to the 

IHSA and asked if one of my 

coaches could come down to the 

track and hold my blocks,” she 

said. “So when the guy would 

say, ‘set,’ my coach would say 

‘set’ right after, same with ‘on 

your marks’ and then the gun 

would go off. 

“The guy who does the gun 

would also have a flag, so he 

would wave down the flag. I’ve 

had that at a couple of meets 

where the guy will have a flag 

and just wave it down with the 

gun, which is super helpful for 

me.” 

Sullivan’s success at New 

Trier also helped her in her collegiate 

decision. The majority of 

the schools she was looking out 

were on the East coast, but when 

she stepped onto Boston Col-

Sullivan looks to continue success at Boston College 


Sports Editor 

Marne Sullivan has been an 

athlete for the majority of her 

life. 

But something set Sullivan 

apart from her fellow competitors 

— something that most 

people even today aren’t aware 

of: she was born deaf. 

But that didn’t stop the Wilmette 

resident from achieving 

great athletic success at New 

Trier. As she heads off to run at 

Boston College in a couple of 

days, Sullivan leaves the school 

as the second-most decorated 

girls track and field athlete in 

school history. 

Sullivan leaves the Trevians 

program with seven state medals, 

the second-most in program 

history, medaling in four 

straight state finals, including 

anchoring the 3,200 meter relay 

to a state title this past May, as 

well as qualifying and competing 

twice in the New Balance 

HS Indoor Nationals and once 

in the New Balance HS Outdoor 

Nationals. 

“Actually I didn’t run in the 

prelims on Friday for a four-byeight,” 

Sullivan said. “I wasn’t 

supposed to run the four-byeight 

in the championships on 

Saturday, so it was a bit more of 

a surprise that I was running it. 

“I had to run the four-byeight 

before my 800, I’d never 

really ran the four-by-800 and 

800 during my entire season. 

So I felt that I had a little bit of 

lack of endurance running both 

races, but I was very happy with 

the result in the four-by-800. It 

mostly came as a shock, though, 

because I did not think I was 

going to run it, but I ended up 

winning it.” 

A reason that many people 

might not know that Sullivan 

was born hearing impaired is 

that when she was 3-and-a-half, 

she had surgery to insert cochlear 

implants. When she was 

younger, she went to Child’s 

Voice, an all-deaf school, before 

transitioning to mainstream 

school at Wilmette’s McKenzie 

Elementary School. 

A cochlear implant is an interior 

device that gets updated every 

couple of years. She can turn 

it on and off, but for track meets 

will put double sided tape on it 

so it doesn’t fall off when she 

runs, as well as wearing a headband. 

Sometimes during school 

she will use a microphone to 

help hear the teachers better. 

Unfortunately, she couldn’t use 

it really for her coaches, so she 

just normally would stand close

Sports Editor 

It’s mid-August and that 

only means one thing: 

high school sports 

season is about to begin. 

Football, girls tennis, boys 

soccer, girls volleyball, 

boys and girls golf, boys 

and girls cross-country and 

girls swimming and diving 

all began this week and the 

North Shore will be looking 

to replicate its success 

it has had recently. 

Here we’ll take a look 

at some of the biggest 

storylines for the fall sports 

season. 

1.) Can Loyola repeat as 

state champions? 

Loyola has been one 

of the most successful 

programs, if not the most, 

in recent history. The Ramblers 

have qualified for 

the state semifinals in 10 

of the past 11 seasons, six 

title games in the past eight 

seasons, made it downstate 

the last four seasons, winning 

two titles, including 

the 2018 title. 

It seems like if there 

is one thing that you can 

count on, it is that the 

Ramblers will make a 

deep run into the playoffs. 

This year will interesting, 

though, as Loyola graduated 

the majority of its 

defensive starting lineup, 

including the school’s 

all-time tackles leader Jake 

Gonzalez. Luckily for the 

Ramblers, coach John Holecek 

and his coaches like 

to play multiple players, so 

even if the players returning 

weren’t starters, they 

still have game experience 

from the prior season. 

The offense returns key 

pieces in running backs 

Trevor Cabanban and Tyler 

Flores, who is coming off 

of a knee injury, as well 

as receiver/tight end Matt 

Mangan and multiple offensive 

linemen, but will 

have to break in a new 

quarterback. 

However, if there’s one 

thing we’ve learned...it’s to 

never count the Ramblers 

out no matter what the 

circumstance. 

2.) Will North Shore 

Country Day girls tennis 

maintain its success in Class 

2A? 

North Shore Country 

Day has been on quite the 

tear in athletics the last 

couple seasons, including 

back-to-back team state 

titles in girls tennis. Unfortunately 

for the Raiders, 

that means that, due to the 

IHSA’s success factor, they 

will now move up to Class 

2A and have to compete 

with the likes of New Trier 

and Loyola in its sectional, 

and Lake Forest, Stevenson 

and Hinsdale Central if 

they make it to state. 

The good news for the 

Raiders is they return standout 

singles players sisters 

Claudia and Vivian Miller, 

who finished second and 

fourth at the state meet 

last season, respectively. 

In addition, the Raiders 

should also return Edith 

Edwards-Mizel and Gabby 

Kaplinsky, who finished 

one match out of qualifying 

for the state meet. 

North Shore has had 

success but can it maintain 

it against schools eight time 

its size? Like Loyola, I 

wouldn’t doubt the Raiders. 

3.) Trevians going back-toback? 

New Trier has long been 

one of the most successful 

field hockey programs in 

the state and claimed its 

spot at the top again last 

season when it defeated 

Lake Forest in the title 

game 3-0. The win stopped 

the Scouts’ reign as state 

champion after the team 

had won the previous two 

titles. 

Despite losing some big 

time talent in Faith Stineman, 

Emma Lauber and 

Lucy Murray, the Trevians 

bring back a lot of talent as 

the majority of the squad 

was made up of sophomores 

and juniors. Grace 

Claudia Miller will look to lead North Shore Country Day 

to another state title. 22nd Century media file photo 

Harris and Paige Baldwin, 

two players who accounted 

for all of New Trier’s scoring 

in the title game, will 

be back to lead midfield 

and forwards, as well as 

Kathryn McLaughlin. 

The Trevians will play 

in arguably the biggest 

field hockey tournament 

of the year this season, 

when they play in the Max 

Field Hockey High School 

National Invitational in 

late September. New Trier 

will face off against three 

of the toughest teams in 

the country. 

4.) New Trier, Loyola girls 

volleyball reload? 

The Ramblers won their 

first sectional title since 

2015 last fall but unfortunately 

for the Ramblers, 

graduated three Division I 

recruits, as well as another 

who will play Division I 

basketball. Middle hitter 

Jackie Yau returns to lead 

the way and the JV team 

went undefeated last year. 

The Trevians on the 

other hand, lose what has 

essentially been their starting 

lineup the past three 

years. Four players are off 

to play Division I volleyball. 

However, unlike the 

Ramblers, New Trier has 

a couple more returnees, 

led by Pitt commit Cat 

Flood, Babson recruit Lulu 

McShane, Navy commit 

Maggie Bodman and 

Indiana University recruit 

Britt Soudan. 

5.) New Trier swimming 

staying on track? 

The Trevians had an 

extremely young squad last 

year, but still managed to 

take third at the state meet. 

Leading the way this year 

will be Kaelyn Gridley and 

Carly Novelline, both of 

whom have qualified for 

next summer’s Olympic 

Trials. NT will miss Kasey 

Venn and Ceola Halloran, 

both of whom graduated.
