Highland Park man subject of wrongful death lawsuit 

3 

Erin Yarnall, Editor 

A Highland Park man 

is being sued after fatally 

striking an Evanston 

woman with his minivan, 

Sept. 13, in the parking 

lot of Deerfields Bakery 

in Deerfield. 

Lucinda Rondon-Stanley, 

53, was picking up 

a birthday cake for her 

daughter at the bakery 

when she was struck by 

the minivan of Lawrence 

Biernacki, 68, of Highland 

Park. Biernacki is 

the owner of the Music 

Center of Deerfield, located 

next door to the 

bakery. According to a 

police report from the 

Deerfield Police Department, 

Biernacki did not 

stop his vehicle after it 

struck Rondon-Stanley. 

FIND YOUR NEXT 

GREAT 

HIRE 

A wrongful death lawsuit 

was filed against Biernacki 

in Cook County 

Circuit Court on Sept. 

18. by Andrew Stevens, 

a lawyer with Corboy & 

Demetrio, representing 

the family of Rondon- 

Stanley. 

The lawsuit alleges that 

Biernacki “failed to keep 

a safe and proper lookout 

for pedestrians, failed to 

avoid striking the pedestrian 

with his motor minivan 

and failed to stop his 

vehicle after striking the 

pedestrian with his minivan, 

dragging her underneath 

it.” 

In addition to listing 

Biernacki as a defendant 

in the lawsuit, his business 

is also listed. 

“We have reason to believe 

he was working at 

the time of this fatal accident,” 

Stevens said. “Under 

Illinois law, if an employee 

is in the course of 

their work at the time that 

they commit negligence, 

the employer is as liable 

to the victim as the person 

who committed the negligence.” 

Stevens said filing the 

suit in Cook County rather 

than Lake County was 

a “legal strategy” and declined 

to comment further 

on the subject. 

He added that the main 

intention of the lawsuit is 

to preserve evidence for 

the family’s civil case, 

primarily the minivan that 

Biernacki was driving. 

“The minivan that was 

used to strike Lucinda

had been returned to the 

defendant, which is very, 

very unusual in fatal hit 

and runs, you just never 

see that happen,” Stevens 

said. “Our primary 

concern was to protect 

evidence in the matter 

that we anticipate will be 

coming, and, of course, 

our civil case.” 

A judge in the Circuit 

Court of Cook County 

granted a motion filed 

by Corboy & Demetrio 

for a protective order 

on Sept. 19 that ordered 

the 2008 Honda Odyssey 

minivan, and all evidence 

relating to the case 

be preserved and protected, 

according to a press 

release from Corboy & 

Demetrio. 

Stevens also said the 

family “wants answers.” 

“They want to know 

what happened,” Steven 

said. “They deserve those 

answers, and the law entitles 

them to be compensated 

for this life that was 

taken far, far too early. 

Lucinda was a very young 

woman with many good 

years ahead of her life.”

26 about trailers parked 

in the 1500 block of Old 

Skokie Road being broken 

into in the overnight hours. 

In two of the instances, 

nothing was reported as 

missing, but in the two 

other instances landscaping 

tools were stolen from 

both vehicles. At this time, 

no subjects have been 

identified. 

In other police news: 

Sept. 23 

• Andres Soto-Gonzalez,

police conducted a traffic 

stop in the 0-100 block of 

St. John’s Avenue. Soto-

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette mail carrier 

caught on video kissing 

elderly woman with 

‘fragile mental condition’ 

A Wilmette mail carrier 

is under investigation after 

being captured on video 

kissing an 89-year-old 

resident during his route, 

according to a complaint 

filed by the woman’s children 

with the Wilmette Police 

Department. 

The case is being handled 

by U.S. Postal Inspection 

Service investigators 

and the employee has 

been removed from his duties, 

according to Wilmette 

police. At the time of this 

report, the identity of the 

mail carrier has not been 

released. 

“We included our federal 

partners after receiving the 

initial report and they have 

since taken over the investigation,” 

Wilmette Police 

Chief Kyle Murphy said. 

“The relationship between 

the resident and postal carrier 

and the postal carrier’s 

actions continue to be inspected 

by the U.S. Postal 

inspectors.” 

Murphy added his department 

hasn’t received 

any information to indicate 

there was a threat to 

the general public from the 

Sept. 7 incident. 

According to a Wimette 

police report obtained 

by The Wilmette Beacon 

through a public records 

request, the woman’s 

daughter told police her 

mother “is not capable of 

making decisions on her 

own” and alleges elder 

abuse by the mail carrier. 

“I don’t want him back 

at my mom’s house ever. 

I don’t want him delivering 

her mail,” the daughter 

told police in an email. 

“I would like the postal 

inspectors to investigate 

possible elder abuse. At 

the very least, it’s highly 

inappropriate and constitutes 

official misconduct.” 

According to the report, 

members of the woman’s 

family had previously encountered 

the mail carrier 

in the kitchen of the home 

a few weeks before the 

complaint.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

City holds visioning 

session on Deerpath 

streetscape improvements 

Lake Forest residents 

were invited to take part 

in an open house on Oct. 

1 where they could share 

their thoughts on what 

they’d like to see on an 

improved Deerpath Road 

streetscape. 

The city is planning on 

improving the streets, sidewalks 

and public spaces on 

Deerpath between Green 

Bay Road and Western 

Avenue, and the visioning 

session was used as a way 

to find out what residents 

would like to see. 

The plans are just in 

their early stages at this 

point, according to Jim 

Lockefeer, Public Works 

Management Analyst with 

the city of Lake Forest, 

and nothing concrete has 

been decided on yet. 

“We wanted to kick off 

this project with this public 

engagement session, 

visioning session,” he said. 

“We wanted to get public 

input on that.” 

The session featured a 

casual, open house environment 

with maps and 

displays set up. City officials 

and the city’s consultant 

were also on hand for 

a brief presentation. 

Lockefeer said the city 

also gave information on 

concepts that have already 

been applied to Deerpath 

as well as what other communities 

with similar projects 

have done. 

He added that there are 

some challenges that could 

arise during a potential 

project. 

“There’s a lot of underground 

utilities in that area 

that might limit some of 

those potential high-level 

ideas,” he said.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Village Board trustees 

vote against change to 

Glenview intersection 

Cambridge at the Glen 

residents hoped that reducing 

parking at West Lake 

Avenue and Poppy Lane 

would make the intersection 

safer for traffic. The 

Glenview Village Board 

felt differently. 

During their Oct. 1 

meeting, trustees voted 4-2 

against making any changes 

to the intersection. 

Currently, according to 

advocates, drivers turning 

off southbound Poppy 

Lane onto West Lake Avenue 

have trouble accounting 

for east and westbound 

traffic due to cars parked 

at the northwest and northeast 

corner of the intersection. 

After receiving the initial 

complaint in 2018, 

Glenview’s Traffic Committee 

requested a study 

of the street parking conditions 

at the intersection 

by Tom Adomshick of 

Please see nfyn, 15 

RalLy 

From Page 4 

for approval. Additional 

details of the agreement 

will be made public in the 

coming days.” 

The agreement comes 

more than 30 days after 

teachers started school 

without a contract. 

According to Kramer, 

the main disputes that the 

union had with the district 

in negotiating a new contract 

were over raises and 

over teacher’s planning 

time. 

“We would like to get 

raises that are competitive 

with surrounding districts,” 

Kramer said. “We have told 

the district that CPI (consumer 

price index), which 

is basically inflation, is not 

a raise for teachers and that 

any offer with CPI will not 

be acceptable.” 

Kramer said that teachers 

received a CPI raise for the 

last two years. 

The teacher’s last contract 

agreement with the 

district expired at the end 

of the 2018-2019 school 

year. 

In the 2014-2015 school 

year, teachers received between 

a 2 or 4 percent raise, 

which increased to between 

a 2 and 4.37 percent raise 

in the 2015-2016 school 

year, and increased again to 

between a 2 and 4.56 percent 

raise in the 2016-2017 

school year. CPI raises for 

all teachers began in the 

2017-2018 school year. 

“We need to make up for 

that,” Kramer said, adding 

that teachers are leaving 

NSSD112 for other districts 

because they “have 

better contracts.” 

The other issue raised, 

plan time, is crucial to 

teachers, according to 

Kramer. 

According to Kramer, 

plan time began to be cut 

at the beginning of the 

2019-2020 school year. 

Without plan time, teachers 

are working, on average, 

10 extra hours a week to 

make up for it, according to 

Kramer. 

“We have too many administrators 

in our district 

who never taught in an elementary 

school,” Kramer 

said. “They don’t remember, 

or know, or want to 

understand what it’s like 

teaching six or seven different 

subjects.” 

Braeside Elementary 

School teacher Nikki 

Smith, who co-led the rally 

with Kramer, said she 

“would have to find a job 

somewhere else” if she was 

made to give up plan time. 

The NSEA said they will 

provide more specific details 

of the agreement with 

the district soon. 

“We appreciate the support 

of family, friends

family 

HP native hopes to revolutionize 

underwear with new design

Penny lives 

in Highland 

Park with our 

family of four. 

Her mom 

was pregnant 

with a litter 

of 13 and we 

got to adopt 

her. She is 

a mixed pup 

with lots of hound in her. She sniffs, runs, and 

loves to play with other dogs.

Each pair of Soxers connects a pair of boxer briefs to a pair of socks with a strap. 

The product was created by Highland Park native Chris Wroblewski. Photo submitted 

Highland Park native 

Chris Wroblewski was 

sick of the bunching his 

underwear did throughout 

his work day at Legal 

& General, an investment 

company in Chicago. 

Every time he would get 

out of his seat, Wroblewski 

would try to slyly adjust 

his underwear without his 

coworkers noticing. 

To solve his problem, 

he purchased several products 

online, but none that 

served as a viable solution. 

He decided to solve 

his own problem by creating 

Soxers, a product 

that combines boxers and 

socks with a strap, keeping 

the wearer’s socks up and 

underwear down. 

“I thought if I could attach 

some sort of stretchy 

spandex material to attach 

my socks to my boxers, it 

would keep everything in 

place,” Wroblewski said. 

“It would keep my socks 

up and my boxers down. 

That was kind of the initial 

start of Soxers.” 

Wroblewski joined a 

sewing class at a local 

JoAnn Fabric, which is 

where he made the first 

pair of Soxers. 

“I still have some of the 

initial prototypes,” Wroblewski 

said. “They’re 

pretty loosely put together, 

given that I was sewing 

them.” 

Each set of Soxers 

comes with a pair of socks, 

a pair of boxers and the 

connecting strap, all attached 

together. 

Along with his idea, 

Wroblewski also wanted 

to give back to the community. 

He partnered with 

Socks’n Undies, an organization 

that provides men 

in need with undergarments 

and toiletries. 

“For every Soxer that we 

sell, we’re going to donate 

a pair of boxers to Socks’n 

Undies,” Wroblewski said. 

“100 percent of the donations 

for this charity go 

to the homeless. It’s fully 

supported by donations, 

and we’re very excited to 

help drive this mission.” 

He added that while he 

intends for his business 

to do well, he also wants 

to take the opportunity to 

give back to the less fortunate. 

“I’m not out there saying 

this is all just for charity, 

I am trying to make a 

profit, but you can do that 

in a way that also helps 

out the community,” Wroblewski 

said. 

Soxers are currently retailing 

online, although 

Wroblewski hopes to partner 

with stores in the future. 

“There’s a lot of steps 

inbetween that, but I do 

think this has the momentum,” 

he said.

Local organization strives to 

start students off on right foot 

Leslie Hill Hirschfeld 

Freelance Reporter 

With the school year in 

full swing, students are 

facing piles of homework 

and looming exams. For 

some, this increased workload 

also means sweaty 

palms, rapid heart rate, and 

a flutter of racing thoughts, 

all signs of test anxiety. 

The physical, emotional 

and cognitive symptoms 

of test anxiety can cause 

students to suffer from 

self-doubt and difficulty 

concentrating. 

Parents of children who 

struggle with these symptoms 

have a resource to 

turn to in the community, 

Academic Tutoring Centers 

(ATC) in Highland 

Park. 

Professionals from ATC 

have provided students the 

essential skills and confidence 

they need to succeed 

in school for more 

than 30 years. This past 

year, Rachel and Matt De- 

Jong, both former teachers, 

joined founder and 

lead tutor Patsy Prince as 

managing partners at ATC, 

bringing innovation and 

experience to the business. 

“[Prince] has earned a 

reputation that is synonymous 

with integrity and 

results,” Rachel DeJong 

said. “Matt and I will share 

teachers’ perspectives and 

help ATC grow as a dynamic, 

educational space.” 

Rachel DeJong, a Deerfield 

native, and Matt 

DeJong moved to Chicago 

last summer and immediately 

hit the ground 

running, introducing new 

approaches and energy 

to ATC. Prior to joining 

ATC’s leadership team,

Prince and Matt DeJong

Hirschfeld/22nd Century 

Media 

Rachel DeJong and Matt 

DeJong worked as high 

school teachers in New 

York City for 10 years. Rachel 

DeJong taught English, 

including AP courses 

and college-level writing. 

Matt DeJong worked as a 

special education teacher 

specializing in math. 

Prince, living and working 

in the North Shore for 

decades, has built a strong 

network of tutors at ATC 

who are the best in the 

business. The new partnership 

expands on the tutoring 

and test prep services 

students in the community 

have relied on for years. 

“We will always maintain 

our level of excellence 

when it comes to 

improving students’ test 

scores and providing focused 

academic support,” 

Prince said. “And with Rachel 

and Matt [DeJong] on 

board, we are increasing 

our educational offerings.” 

ATC provides focused 

academic support, learning 

strategies, and individualized 

test prep services to 

help students achieve their 

best academic self. The 

tutors, many of whom are 

teachers themselves, develop 

individual tutoring 

and test prep curriculum 

for each student based on 

learning style, academic 

background and extra-curriculars. 

ATC’s approach to supporting 

learning focuses 

on the whole student. 

“With so much pressure 

on today’s students, we 

help students realize their 

academic potential within 

a non-stressful and nurturing 

support system,” Rachel 

DeJong said. 

Best known for their college 

admissions test preparation, 

ATC offers strategies 

and content first, then 

practice. In addition to test 

prep, the center also provides 

tutoring services for 

most grades and academic 

subjects, as well as college 

essay writing coaching. 

Tutors incorporate a variety 

of tools and techniques 

to support students. To reflect 

the way today’s students 

learn in and outside 

the classroom, technology 

plays an important role 

with tutors using different 

online platforms, smart 

technology and applications 

like Google Docs. 

To meet the emotional 

needs of their students, especially 

those struggling 

with test anxiety, ATC also 

offers mindfulness workshops 

and resources. Furthermore, 

authentic, simulated 

practice tests at First 

Bank of Highland Park 

give students the opportunity 

to practice the coping 

strategies they learn.

In Memoriam 

HP resident remembered for contributions to the arts 

4 

Alan P. Henry 


Investment banker and 

philanthropist Stanley 

Freehling, who died Sept. 

20, 2019 at age 95, played 

major roles in burnishing 

the reputations and energizing 

the fundraising 

efforts of the Goodman 

Theatre, the Art Institute 

of Chicago, the Arts Club 

of Chicago and many other 

of the city’s iconic cultural 

landmarks. And yet, he 

once proudly proclaimed: 

“Ravinia is my first love in 

the world of arts.” 

“Stan Freehling was 

tremendously important 

to culture institutions all 

over Chicago, but he was 

known as `Mr. Ravinia’ for 

good reason,” said Nick 

Pullia, Director of Communications 

for Ravinia. 

“An early booster of the 

festival, Stan courted his 

wife, Joan, at Ravinia, and 

they made their lifelong 

home in Highland Park 

just to be near the venue 

they loved. So much of 

what Ravinia is today was 

made possible by Stan. He 

was admired and respected 

by everyone in the Ravinia 

Family, but more than that, 

he was loved.” 

Much of that love will be 

on display at a public memorial 

service for Freehling 

to be held 11 a.m. Oct. 

11 at Bennett Gordon Hall 

at Ravinia Festival, with 

parking in the South Priority 

Parking Lot. 

Freehling joined the 

Ravinia Festival Board of 

Trustees in 1959 and in 

1968, at age 44, became 

the youngest person ever 

to be named chairman of 

Ravinia. A resident of 

Highland Park since 1951, 

he hired the highly regarded 

Edward Gordon as arts 

administrator with orders 

to help “turn this organization 

around,” with an eye 

toward creating a facility 

that could more comfortably 

attract classical and 

popular acts. 

In 1969, having taken 

notes of improvements he 

wanted to make, he started 

a capital campaign to rebuild 

Ravinia and set a 

goal $2.2 million for improvements 

and a reserve 

fund for operations. When 

the doors opened in 1970, 

Ravinia had a wider stage, 

an enlarged orchestra pit, 

a new sound system, and 

a new dressing room and 

locker rooms. 

Before leaving the board 

in 1971, Freehling recruited 

Marion Lloyd to 

become the first woman 

to become the chair of a 

major cultural institution 

in Chicago. He also established 

an endowment fund 

for the organization and, 

along with fellow Life 

Trustee Richard Hunt, introduced 

sculpture to the 

Ravinia landscape. 

“When anyone thinks of 

Ravinia’s start, they think 

of Stan,” Zarin Mehta, 

former longtime head of 

Ravinia Festival, famously 

said. 

Freehling attended the 

University of Chicago and 

received his BA from the 

University of Stockholm. 

For decades he was a Senior 

Partner with Freehling 

and Company, a NYSE 

firm on LaSalle Street. He 

served as a Life Trustee of 

the University of Chicago, 

a trustee of Northwestern 

Memorial Hospital, the 

John G. Shedd Aquarium, 

Lake Forest College and 

the Chicago Public Library. 

His greatest passion, 

however, was for the arts, 

and his decades of networking 

among individuals, 

civic organizations 

and corporations raised 

tens of millions for that 

cause. In addition to serving 

as Chairman of Ravinia, 

he was President of 

the Arts Club of Chicago 

for 25 years, board member 

of the Art Institute 

for over 50 years, a Life 

Trustee of the Art Institute 

of Chicago and Chairman 

of the Sustaining Fellows 

of the Art Institute, and as 

a trustee of the Chicago 

Symphony Orchestra and 

Hubbard Street Dance 

Company. He also served 

as the chairman of the Illinois 

Arts Council, as a 

member of the Chicago 

Theatre Group, the National 

Corporate Theatre Fund, 

and Sadler’s Wells Theatre 

Association in London. In 

1985, Ronald Reagan appointed 

Freehling to the 

President’s Committee on 

the Arts and Humanities. 

Sometimes referred to as 

“Chicago’s Patron Saint 

of the Arts,” Freehling was 

recipient of many honors 

and awards within the cultural 

community. 

His association with the 

Art Institute of Chicago 

began in 1950 when he 

was in an executive training 

program with First 

National Bank of Chicago 

and volunteered to serve as 

treasurer. Over the years, 

he and his wife Joan donated 

hundreds of pieces 

of art across multiple categories 

to the permanent 

collection. In 2008, the Art 

Institute honored his devotion 

to works on paper 

with a special exhibition. 

He also served on many 

boards and committees, 

and routinely aided the 

museum in many fundraising 

efforts as it broadened 

its scope and holdings, including 

the opening of the 

contemporary galleries in 

1997. 

Since 1916, The Arts 

Club of Chicago has been 

a preeminent exhibitor 

of international art and a 

forum for established and 

emerging artists. In 1989, 

during his tenure as club 

president, Freehling coordinated 

the sale of its Constantin 

Brancusi “Golden 

Bird’ to the Art Institute 

for $12.5 million. The sale 

allowed the financially 

troubled club to move to 

its current home on Ontario 

Street and secure its 

solvency. 

Upon this death, and the 

death in August of former 

president Marilyn Alsdorf, 

the club praised them for 

guiding the club’s institutional 

and artistic vision 

and serving many cultural 

institutions throughout the 

city of Chicago “with generous 

and fearless patronage 

to keep the city on the 

cutting edge.” 

Starting in 1962, Freehling 

began serving on the 

committee that governed 

the Goodman Theater, 

which had a financially 

ailing drama school. In the 

1970s, he helped orchestrate 

the sale of the school 

and launched a fundraising 

campaign to make the 

Goodman a self-governed 

institution. 

Following Freehling’s 

death, Goodman Theatre 

executive director Roche 

Schulfer wrote this to his 

board of directors: “I think, 

and I hope Stan would 

agree, that his greatest 

achievement was saving 

Goodman Theatre from 

extinction and setting it on 

Stanley Freehling was a Highland Park resident and a 

patron of the arts, including Ravinia Festival, where he 

was named the chairman in 1968. Photo submitted 

the road to local, national 

and international recognition 

as a leading American 

theater and major Chicago 

cultural institution. There 

is no question that Goodman 

Theatre would not exist 

today if it were not for 

Stan Freehling.” 

Among Freehling’s 

other marks on the city’s 

cultural landscape, he was 

instrumental in pushing 

for and securing funding 

for public art in the city, 

including the Miro and 

Dubuffet sculptures. During 

his tenure as chair of 

the lllinois Arts Council, 

he also successfully lobbied 

for increased state 

funding of arts programming 

and art purchases. 

Freehling is survived by 

children Maggie Freehling 

Phillips, Elizabeth 

(Debbie) Weidner, Robert 

Freehling, and Dominique 

Parducci, and sons-in-law, 

Joseph Weidner and Scott 

Phillips. He also leaves 

behind five grandchildren, 

Benjamin Weidner, 

Sam Phillips, Max Phillips, 

Rosalind Parducci, 

Daniel Freehling and a 

great grandchild, Noah 

Freehling; sister-in-law 

Caryl Freehling, nephews 

Jim and Tom Freehling, 

and niece Julie Frodl. He 

is predeceased by his two 

brothers, Julius and Herbert, 

and wife Joan, who 

died in 2011 after 64 years 

of marriage.

HP High School grads open up Northfield pizza shop 

2 

Megan Bernard, Editor 

Everyone is really excited 

to have pizza back in 

Northfield. 

So said North Shore 

Pizza Company’s co-owner 

Doug Denenberg, who operates 

the new Northfield 

eatery with his brother, 

Todd, both Highland Park 

High School graduates. 

The new business occupies 

the former Viccino’s 

Pizza location at 300 Happ 

Road in Northfield Square. 

The space is familiar since 

the Denenberg family is 

the founder of Viccino’s; 

however, they did not operate 

this Northfield location, 

Todd said. 

“We’ve been in the industry 

since 1998. The 

Denenberg family founded 

Viccino’s in Glenview,” 

Todd said. “I operate one 

in Glenview, [Doug] operates 

the other one. There 

are two now. This was previously 

a Viccino’s run by 

somebody else. It’s been a 

couple years and he is no 

longer involved.” 

The space has been vacant 

for several years, as 

the previous business left, 

then the Denenbergs had 

to do some remodeling and 

install a bathroom per Village 

Code. 

The transformation, 

though, was worth the wait. 

“Everyone who has been 

coming in has been really 

excited to have pizza back 

in Northfield,” Doug said. 

“We are the only place that 

is specifically pizza (in 

Northfield).” 

While the pizza business 

at the square boasts a new 

name now, it still offers 

original Viccino’s pizza 

recipes. 

“It’s the same recipe,” 

Todd said. “Our menu also 

focuses on casual Italian 

now.” 

“The restaurant used to 

concentrate on pizza and 

sandwiches,” Doug added. 

“Since then, we’ve expanded 

the kitchen and we make 

all sorts of pastas; all our 

sauces are homemade.” 

Todd personally said 

there are so many options 

now that his go-to dish depends 

on his mood. 

Some of his favorites include 

the thin crust Windy 

City pizza, which has Italian 

beef and your choice of 

sweet peppers or hot giardiniera 

peppers. He also likes 

the deep dish Venetian style 

with spinach, sausage, onion 

and artichoke hearts. 

The pizzas are offered in 

three styles at North Shore 

Pizza Company, including 

thin, Roma and pan or 

stuffed, with 31 topping 

selections. The crust can 

also be made with a whole 

wheat, gluten-free, cauliflower 

gluten-free and 

sausage (no dough, made 

with Italian sausage as the 

crust). 

Other special pies are the 

vegetarian classic, buffalo 

chicken, dulce (Hawaiianstyle), 

Da Vinci (Bacon, artichoke, 

spinach, goat and 

provolone cheeses), among 

others. 

North Shore Pizza Company 

is mainly takeout 

and delivery, but there 

The Denenberg brothers Doug (left) and Todd own and 

operate North Shore Pizza Company at 300 Happ Road, 

Northfield. Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

are window seats and tables 

outside available for 

those looking to eat there. 

The restaurant delivers 

to Northfield, Winnetka, 

Glencoe, Kenilworth, Wilmette 

and Northbrook (east 

of Waukegan). 

The restaurant is open 

seven days a week from 

10:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday- 

Thursday; 10:30 a.m.-10 

p.m. Friday; 11 a.m.-10 

p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m.-

Ravinia Brewing to highlight beer infusion at inaugural fest 

6 

Submitted Content 

The inaugural Steep Ravine 

Infusion Festivalwill 

take place along the main 

drag of the Ravinia District 

of Highland Park (on 

Roger Williams Avenue, 

between Pleasant and Burton 

Avenues) as Ravinia 

Brewing Company creates 

a first-of-its-kind festival 

focused on tempting and 

expanding the taste buds 

of craft beer and spirit lovers 

across Chicago and the 

Midwest. 

On Saturday, Oct. 19 

from 12-10 p.m., guests 

will get to experience the 

thrill of creating their own 

beverage infusions, while 

professional mixologists 

and brewers compete for 

prizes and bragging rights 

in front of a panel of judges. 

Paul Bumbaco, Ravinia 

Brewing Co.’s Taproom 

General Manager and resident 

Infusion expert stated, 

“Infusions are a fun 

way to bring out the creativity 

in everyone,” said 

Paul Bumbaco, Ravinia 

Brewing Company’s taproom 

general manager and 

resident infusion expert. 

“We started a program of 

‘Infusion Wednesdays’ in 

the taproom at the beginning 

of the year, and it has 

really been a hit, allowing 

us to create fresh spins on 

some of our favorite beers 

that are truly unique.” 

Bumbaco’s creations 

have spanned from Ravinia 

Brewing’s saison 

infused with fresh blueberries 

and vanilla beans; 

to their Belgian white ale 

with fresh raspberries and 

cocoa nibs; to their Baldwin 

porter infused with 

waffles, coconut bacon 

and cinnamon. 

The Steep Ravine Infusion 

Fest concept offers 

every adult guest the opportunity 

to create their 

own infusion by choosing 

from a variety of ingredients 

from the do-it-yourself 

infusion bar, putting 

their million-dollar mixologist 

ideas into action. 

The fun isn’t only for 

adults as kids and teens 

will be given the opportunity 

to infuse juices, 

frozen drinks and sodas 

for their own delicious 

creations. The familyfriendly 

event will have a 

variety of activities for all 

ages to accompany the delicious 

food and beverage 

offerings from local and 

regional vendors including 

Ravinia Brewing Company’s 

famous tacos and 

Mexican street food. 

Live music begins at 12 

p.m. with Imperial Boxmen, 

followed by Bowmanvilleat 

2:30 p.m., the 

DFW Bandat 5:00 p.m. 

and the Ravinia Ramblers

For this inaugural event, 

there will be no tickets 

sold. Guests will have 

the opportunity to browse 

and purchase as little or as 

much as they want to meet 

the demands of their taste 

buds. This event coincides 

with the Ravinia Taproom 

celebrating its one year anniversary. 

“This event is more than 

just an anniversary party. 

The Steep Ravine Infusion 

Fest is a first-of-its kind 

local festival that we feel 

will become a celebrated 

event in the North Shore,” 

said Jeff Hoobler, a partner 

at Ravinia Brewing 

Company. “Giving guests 

the chance to explore infusions 

with so many different 

ingredients really 

speaks to one of our core 

pillars, creation, and we’re 

thrilled to see what this 

can become.”

Co. at the inaugural 

Steep Ravine Infusion Fest

Chicago breweries including

Brewing Company, Old

FROM THE EDITOR 

Great to see community 

working together 

Erin Yarnall 

Editor 

Like many in the 

Highland Park 

community, I’ve 

been carefully reading 

statements from the North 

Shore Education Association 

(NSEA) and the 


112 as they work on 

negotiating a new contract 

for teachers. 

I sent a freelance reporter, 

Ella Lee, who covers the 


112 meetings, to cover a 

rally a few weeks ago, and 

this week it was my turn. 

nfyn 

From Page 6 

I pulled into the District 

112 administrative office 

Oct. 3 and watched as 

teachers clad in NSEA 

shirts, holding protest 

signs. 

Several teachers spoke 

to me at the rally, expressing 

the primary concerns 

that they have. Everyone 

cheered on the negotiation 

team as they walked in to 

the administrative office 

to talk to representatives 

from the district. 

After the rally, the 

NSEA and the district 

reached a tentative agreement, 

to the excitement of 

the union, the district, myself 

and I’m sure plenty of 

you readers. 

Now it’s time to continue 

focusing on providing 

quality education to 

Highland Park students 

and giving them great opportunities.

Oct. 3 rally, turn to Page

James J. Benes and Associates, 

the Village’s Traffic 

Consultant. The analysis 

determined that all existing 

parking setbacks along 

West Lake Avenue meet 

the minimum parking distances 

specified in the Illinois 

Vehicle Code. 

While those studied depended 

on traffic traveling 

at or slightly above the local 

speed limit of 25 mph, 

a more comprehensive 

study conducted in March 

2019 found that traffic, on 

average, travels between 

30-35 mph long that section 

of West Lake Avenue, 

with some vehicles traveling 

even faster. As a result 

of that reality, village staff 

recommended reducing 

parking. 

“People go 50 miles an 

hour down West Lake,” 

said neighborhood resident 

Pauline Levy. “If you’re 

trying to pull out and 

they’re going that speed 

coming from the east and 

there are cars parked along 

West Lake, it’s virtually 

impossible to pull out.”

clever phrase; artistic, with 

a whimsical festive scene; 

or even just a jolly jack-o’- 

lantern. 

While there is no limit to 

what your carving can be, 

we only accept pumpkins 

that reside in Highland Park, 

Highwood, Fort Sheridan, 

Winnetka, Northfield, Wilmette,

Vi at The Glen reinvests in the exceptional retirement 

To some North Shore retirees, 

it may seem as though life 

couldn’t get any better. One 

community is determined to 

demonstrate that there’s always 

room for improvement. 

With a $4.8 million remodel 

underway, life at The Glen is 

getting more enviable every 

day. 

Located in Glenview, Vi at 

The Glen pairs the area’s signature 

warmth with the comfort 

and amenities of luxury 

senior living. The result is a 

highly sociable, maintenancefree 

lifestyle that allows residents 

to truly enjoy the best of 

all worlds. 

Now, a remodel of The 

Glen’s common areas and 

amenities — targeted for total 

completion in late 2020 

— is marking a new chapter 

for the retirement-redefining 

community. 

Setting the stage for sociability 

In a community that prides 

itself on hospitality, it’s no 

surprise that improving social 

spaces is a top priority. 

Scheduled to be finished this 

November, Phase I of the remodel 

will focus on the living 

room, the drawing room 

and a full bar where residents 

will be able to enjoy signature 

cocktails while mingling with 

family and friends. 

“Social connection is a key 

part of what makes our community 

so special,” said Vi at 

The Glen Sales Director Sian 

Moynihan. “Creating spaces 

where everyone can gather, 

relax and enjoy each other’s 

company is so important.” 

Phase I will also introduce a 

theater where residents will be 

invited to attend movie nights, 

lectures and other special 

events — another opportunity 

for the community’s social 

calendar to shine. 

“Our goal is for the new 

spaces to foster a welcoming 

atmosphere,” Director of Interior 

Design Misha Mann said. 

“It’s all about creating something 

that’s both distinguished 

and friendly.” 

A culinary program worth 

savoring 

The upgrades will also include 

a reimagining of The 

Glen’s culinary program. All 

three of the community’s onsite 

restaurants will be renovated, 

with the casual Bistro to 

be completed as part of Phase 

I. In addition to striking architectural 

redesigns, each of 

the restaurants’ menus will be 

updated. 

“Scratch cooking is at the 

heart of our kitchen,” said Vi at 

The Glen Executive Chef Jose 

Luna. “Whether you’re picking 

up your morning pastry 

or sitting down for a high-end 

dinner, you’ll get something 

unique that was made with 

fresh ingredients.”

meals that are designed 

to inspire celebration. 

“In all of our restaurants, we 

want to strike a balance between 

familiar, favorite dishes 

and opportunities to try new 

cuisine,” Luna said. “We don’t 

want to give you what you 

expect from a retirement community. 

Dinner doesn’t need 

to be just dinner. It can be an 

experience.”

Caring for the 

caregiver 

While we were on-site at the Elderwerks 

Education and Resource Fair: Planning To and 

Through Retirement for Seniors and Older 

Adults, a visitor posed the following question: 

How do we help a caregiver/spouse who is 

taking care of a loved one with dementia? 

Oftentimes we see caregivers who try to become 

silent superheroes. They sacrifice sleep, 

proper nutrition and exercise. Many who are still 

working or raising families admit their minds 

aren’t engaged. Careers suffer, and life on the 

home front becomes strained. The bottom line 

is a caregiver who tries operating in an “always 

on” mode becomes sick or so severely run down 

they can no longer deliver the necessary support 

to their loved one. 

Although some people look at reaching out 

for help as a sign of weakness or “defeat,” seeking 

assistance is a very practical and responsible 

approach. Over the years, I have spoken 

with dozens of caregivers we have helped, and a 

common thread is surprise at the vast amount of 

quality resources available and regret that they 

hadn’t reached out for help earlier. 

If you or someone you care about is grappling 

with life balance while meeting the needs of a 

loved one or friend, Elderwerks offers a printed 

Senior Resource Directory for Illinois, which 

includes all local and federal programming such 

as transportation, nutritional projects, social 

services, charities, etc. You can also view an 

electronic version of the guide on our website at 

Elderwerks.org. 

Hiring a home care agency with employees 

proficient at working with dementia patients is 

the prescribed route. These professionals can 

come in for a few hours per day, offering a 

breather, permitting you to work, go shopping, 

get some exercise or even enjoy a day at the spa. 

It’s also important to seek out help, and accept 

help, from family and friends who can pitch in 

by performing some basic household chores, 

paying bills, cooking or running errands. 

Supporting a person with dementia is a fulltime 

job that requires the labor and love of 

many. Please don’t go it alone. 

Jennifer Prell is President of Elderwerks 

Educational Services, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 

organization offering complimentary information, 

referrals and guidance to seniors and their 

families. The Elderwerks Education and Resource 

Center for seniors is now open at 251 E. 

Northwest Hwy, Palatine, IL. Complimentary 

education, support and help is available on-site.

7.5 hours per week

North Shore Compassionate 

Care: An emphasis on 

dependability and quality 


Care is an independent 

home care agency 

located right here in Highland 

Park. 

Owners Mike Glickman 

and Steve Wilneff 

are long-time area residents 

and are also the 

primary case managers. 

John Vuckovich, of 

Deerfield, has now joined 

the management team as 

Managing Director. Their 

combined community 

knowledge and involvement, 

business acumen, 

hands-on approach to every 

case, and the significantly 

higher salaries paid 

to their caregivers makes 

NSCC the reliable choice 

for in-home companion 

care. Living at home truly 

makes the difference. 

Staying in your home as 

long as possible is critical 

to well-being. 

Your home is where 

you’re most comfortable 

and safe. The surroundings 

are familiar 

and reassuring. Moving 

can be disconcerting, 

creating a feeling of uncertainty 

and upheaval. 

You feel displaced and 

alone at a time when 

you most need the good 

feelings of your own 

home. 

With NSCC in-home 

companion care, you remain 

as independent as 

you can be. Feeling independent 

is so important 

to maintaining a positive 

outlook and the best health 

possible, especially when 

the effects of aging and 

illness are taking place. 

At home, you sleep in 

your own bed, your things 

are around you and you 

feel safe. With our help, 

there’s still no place like 

home! As we age or recover 

from an illness, injury 

or surgery, we have 

a need for care or assistance 

with daily living activities. 

Without a doubt, 

home is the most comfortable 

and convenient place 

to receive that care. 


Care provides 

home care and companion/ 

homemaker services 

to seniors and others 

throughout Chicagoland. 

Our broad choice of service 

options ranges from 

hourly care up through 

live-in services 24 hours 

a day. 

Caregivers and support 

staff that you can 

depend on. Our experienced, 

compassionate and 

dependable caregivers 

are carefully selected to 

provide clients with loving 

care and assistance to 

make life easier and assure 

peace of mind. 

All caregivers are interviewed, 

referencechecked, 

backgroundscreened, 

bonded and 

insured prior to placement. 

Our caregivers are 

thoroughly trained and 

undergo additional and refresher 

training on a regular 

basis. 

Often, family members 

take over the responsibility 

of caring for a parent 

or loved one. They can 

soon discover that this 

task is extremely difficult 

and not easily manageable 

when combined with the 

responsibilities of their 

own family needs or while 

working full-time. 

At North Shore Compassionate 

Care, we are 

here to help. We create 

a schedule of quality inhome 

care that fits the 

needs of your family. Inhome 

care is truly a wonderful 

option for allowing 

loved ones to remain in 

the comfort and safety of 

their own home. 

Mike, Steve and John 

help turn that option into 

reality. They ensure a level 

of care and attentiveness 

that few can offer. 


Care is proud to be a 

part of the North Shore 

community and attends to 

community needs like no 

other agency.

LOWEST PRICES OF THESEASON 

SAVE ON CARPET DURING NATIONAL KARASTAN MONTH 

SALE ENDS NOVEMBER 5 TH 


When Highland Park 

native and Los Angeles 

police commissioner 

Steve Soboroff got his first 

typewriter “about 20 years 

ago” at an auction, a typewriter 

from a famous sports 

writer, he wasn’t expecting 

much to come of it. 

He got interested in acquiring 

collectibles after 

selling a baseball glove 

formerly owned by Sandy 

Koufax, and seeing how 

much money that brought 

in. Knowing he had five 

children he had to send 

through college, Soboroff 

decided to purchase the famous 

typewriter. 

“The idea that this guy 

sat there for years and 

wrote on that typewriter 

these columns that I had 

been reading every single 

day for my entire life, it 

was a mind-blower,” Soboroff 

said. 

But that was just the beginning 

of the Highland 

Park High School graduate’s 

collection. 

Throughout the years, 

Soboroff has acquired close 

to 40 typewriters owned by 

“very famous, important or 

infamous people who used 

those typewriters for their 

most important works.” 

“Each one of these typewriters 

has an incredible 

history with its owner, with 

their owner’s family, and 

with [American culture],” 

Soboroff said. 

Now his collection is on 

display at the American 

Writers Museum at 180 N. 

Michigan Ave. in Chicago. 

Included in his collection 

are the typewriters used 

by Ernest Hemingway, 

John Lennon and even 

Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, 

who killed three 

people in a series of bombings 

throughout the United 

States. 

“[Kaczynski’s] typewriter 

was purchased in a 

Montgomery Ward store 

near Chicago,” Soboroff 

said. “I bought it from 

the FBI. After I bought it, 

Kaczynski became a suspect 

in the Tylenol murders 

and they found that 

one of the victims bought 

Tylenol at the same Montgomery 

Ward store. So the 

FBI needed the typewriter 

back.” 

His collection comes 

from all over the place, but 

Soboroff said he has bought 

several of his typewriters at 

estate sales, including typewriters 

owned by Maya 

Angelou, Greta Garbo and 

Jack Kevorkian. 

When Soboroff, who 

lives in Los Angeles, 

stopped by Chicago to 

open the museum, he was 

joined by Angelou’s grandson, 

Colin Johnson as well 

as Christie Hefner, daughter 

of Hugh Hefner, whose 

typewriter was also on display 

at the exhibit. 

Although he owns 

roughly 39 typewriters, Soboroff 

said he’s not able to 

pick his favorite. 

“I love them all, it’s impossible 

to pick a favorite,” 

Soboroff said. 

He said he allows people 

Colin Johnson, the 

grandson of Maya 

Angelou, stands by his 

grandmother’s typewriter, 

owned by Highland Park 

native Steve Soboroff at 

the American Writer’s Museum 

in Chicago. Photo 

submitted 

to type on his typewriters if 

they make a charitable contribution. 

But there is one 

exception. 

“I would never let anyone 

touch Hemingway’s,” 

Soboroff said, adding that 

it was the typewriter he was 

using when he died. “It’s 

just too historic.” 

In addition to being 

displayed at the American 

Writers Museum, Soboroff’s 

typewriters have 

also been displayed at the 

Smithsonian, the Rock and 

Roll Hall of Fame, the New 

York Historical Society 

Museum and the San Francisco 

International Airport, 

among other places. 

“They go all over the 

place,” Soboroff said. 

The exhibit will remain 

open at the American Writers 

Museum through June 

2020.

Maria’s Bakery offers Italian cuisine, family feel in Highwood 

Nick Frazier 

Sports Editor 

3 

When you’re the best in 

your craft, it can be hard to 

walk away when you’re at 

the top. 

Gino Pollari found that 

out when he tried to retire 

from the restaurant 

business. It was only six 

months until Pollari came 

out of retirement to continue 

making food and putting 

a smile on customer’s 

faces. 

Pollari, who has been in 

the business since 1975, is 

the owner of Maria’s Bakery 

in Highwood, an Italian 

restaurant that treats its 

customers like family. Pollari 

took over the Bakery 

seven years ago after running 

Two Guys from Italy 

in Highwood. His daughter, 

Gabriella, is now manager 

at Maria’s Bakery. 

“He doesn’t know how 

to stand still,” Gabriella 

said of her father. “He 

likes the atmosphere, and 

he likes producing good 

food. It’s not even about 

the money for him, it’s 

about the food.” 

Gino now owns two locations 

in Highwood and 

Mundelein. Maria previously 

leased the space for 

three years from Pollari, 

who originally built the 

building and occupied the 

space next door. When 

Maria left, Pollari took 

over from there, kept the 

restaurant name and took 

the recipes from Two Guys 

from Italy to the bakery. 

“When Maria started it 

was just panini sandwiches 

and pastries, now he has a 

full menu,” Gabriella said. 

Indeed, the menu consists 

of full meals as well 

as Italian pastries. Behind 

the counter are homemade 

cannoli, donuts and more. 

The mix of filling dinner 

The chicken limone ($16.95) is topped with mushrooms 

and comes with a side of spinach, and soup and salad. 

plates and sweet desserts 

is what keeps North Shore 

customers coming back for 

more. 

“It just works for us, everybody 

wants to eat dessert 

afterwards,” Gabriella 

said. “It helps that Maria 

already had the display 

case for the pastries. [Gino 

is] more about the food 

and I’m involved in both.” 

As if the Italian food 

wasn’t enough, customers 

at Maria’s Bakery might 

get lucky and run into a 

Chicago Bear some nights. 

Former Bears defensive 

coordinator Vic Fangio 

used to visit Maria’s every 

Friday before he took a 

head coaching job with the 

Denver Broncos. A picture 

of Fangio and Gino hangs 

up on a wall behind the 

counter. 

Now, current Chicago 

DC Chuck Pagano and 

quarterback coach Dave 

Ragone stop by the restaurant 

when the Bears aren’t 

traveling. Gabriella is so 

used to the Bears coaches 

popping in that she no longer 

gets starstruck. 

“They’re so nice, Chuck 

comes in here and always 

gives me a hug,” Gabriella 

says. “They’re more like 

family to us, they actually

they’re in town, they’re 

more like family.” 

Pagano and Ragone are 

just some of the many regulars 

that frequent Maria’s 

for the food and hospitality. 

It all comes back to 

Gino, who is working on 

getting his four kids into 

the family business. 

“He’s actually a hard 

worker, he’s doing it for 

all his kids,” Gabriella 

said. “He’s trying to build 

a foundation for us. It’s 

actually a very successful 

restaurant. Everything he 

does is for his family; like 

I said he just likes people 

complimenting his food. 

“It’s not even about the 

money, it’s more that he 

gets the joy of people eating 

good food.”

at Maria’s Bakery in Highwood. Photos by Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

The bakery offers a large variety of fresh homemade Italian and butter cookies. 

Media editors got to try 

some of this delicious food 

and see what all the fuss is 

about. 

We started with the rigatoni 

Bolognese ($16.95), 

a fan favorite that is Pagano’s 

go-to dish. The 

ground beef sauce made 

fresh every day made it 

one of our favorites as 

well. 

We then tried the gnocchi 

($16.95) which was 

made with vodka sauce 

and comes with either a 

soup and salad. After that, 

we enjoyed the chicken 

limone ($16.95), which 

was topped with mushrooms 

and capers and a delicious 

lemon butter sauce. 

The final dish was the 

whitefish ($24.95), which 

featured a mashed potato 

crust, a butter sauce, and 

comes with veggies, soup 

and salad. Needless to say, 

we were more than full after 

trying out the dishes. 

We still found room for 

some mini-cannoli afterwards.

Once a small fishing village 

on the shores of Banderas 

Bay, Puerto Vallarta,

vibrant resort town that 

remains true to its humble 

beginnings. From glorious 

beaches and gourmet 

dining to great outdoor 

adventure and fabulous 

shopping, Puerto Vallarta

keep you busy – or happily 

doing nothing at all.

many reasons to visit 

Puerto Vallarta…a chance 

to discover a fascinating 

culture, introducing your 

kids to new experiences 

and sharing the wonders 

of an amazing eco-tour. 

Creating memorable experiences, 

like hearing Spanish 

being spoken and using 

pesos as currency, will let 

the kiddos feel like part of 

a multi-cultural world. 

Walk along the beachfront 

boardwalk that borders 

the Pacific Ocean, 

the Malecon and see the 

sculptures, open air markets, 

cafes and restaurants. 

For a taste of Mexico’s 

most popular street food… 

yes, tacos, try a Puerto Vallarta 

Food Tour. Here you 

go from locally-owned 

restaurants to street food 

stands, sampling varieties 

of regional Mexican fare. 

You can’t imagine all the 

ways tacos, ceviche and 

stuffed jalapeño tacos can 

be served. Top it off with 

delicious cinnamon churros 

and homemade Mexican 

candies.

Velas Vallarta, a resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, features 

a pool, and is located right near the ocean. Mira 

Temkin/22nd Century Media

cooking classes, water balloon 

fights, making sand 

castles as well as a variety 

of arts and crafts projects 

and tennis clinics. Does 

your little one love music? 

Let them take guitar and 

maracas lessons from a local 

musician! 

Gourmet Cuisine on an 

International Stage

great Mexican fare, 

Puerto Vallarta restaurants 

have are now recognized 

for their culinary expertise. 

The annual Festival 

Gourmet International, 

which takes place this year 

from Nov. 19–24, is a testimony 

to their international

with Matt Holleman 

Holleman is a senior on 

the Highland Park boys 

soccer team. 

How did you get 

started playing 

soccer? 

I started playing AYSO 

when I was 5. It was always 

something I really 

enjoyed. 

What is your favorite 

part of playing soccer? 

The feeling of scoring 

a goal feels pretty good. 

Probably just playing 

with the team and forming 

those connections as well 

is always a big part of it. 

What’s the most 

challenging part of 

playing soccer? 

Probably keeping everyone 

on the same page and 

playing organized, having 

everyone knowing what’s 

going on in the play. 

What’s the best 

coaching advice you’ve 

ever gotten? 

Make up your mind before 

the game that you’re 

going to win. 

Do you have any 

pregame rituals or 

superstitions? 

Not really a superstition, 

but I do like to chew gum 

when I warm up. 

If you could play 

another sport besides 

soccer, what would it 

be? 

I really like basketball, 

I’m just not great at it. 

What’s your favorite 

place to eat? 

Chik-fil-a. The chicken 

sandwich there is just unmatched. 

Who is your favorite 

athlete? 

Kawhi Leonard. I’ve 

been a fan of him for a decent 

amount of time now, 

then he just ended up being 

Finals MVP. He’s a fun 

guy. 

Who is the funniest 

guy on the soccer 

team? 

Ronin Moore. He’s always 

making jokes, cracking 

me up. 

If you won the lottery, 

what’s the first thing 

you would buy? 

Ideally I’d like to buy 

something for my parents, 

they deserve it.

“He was truly one of a

Girls Golf 

HP wins conference title 

Michal Dwojak 

Contributing Sports Editor 

Highland Park ended its 

strong conference season 

with a fitting ending: a 

conference championship. 

The Giants finished second 

at the Central Suburban 

League North conference 

tournament on Oct. 2 

at the Wilmette Golf Club, 

but with a 5-0 conference 

record during the season, 

the Giants took home the 

conference championship. 

“I’m proud of how the 

girls have hunkered down 

and made it through knowing 

that today was going 

to be difficult conditions,” 

HP head coach Jessica Berens 

said. 

Highland Park won the 

conference championship 

after finishing second at 

the tournament with a team 

score of 364. Deerfield finished 

first with a 363 team 

score while Vernon Hills 

finished third with a 403 

and Maine West finished 

fourth with a 455. 

Emilia Schwenk led the 

way for the Giants with 

an 12-over-82 followed 

by Ally Kovitz’s 88. The 

Giants finished third and 

fourth, respectively, overall 

in the conference tournament.

the CSL North but also 

the tough conditions. The 

course was wet after rain 

stormed the course over 

night and it continued to 

drizzle during the tournament, 

creating chilly and 

uncomfortable conditions. 

While the scores didn’t 

look the best, Berens 

liked the experience her 

Giants learned given that 

the weather will only get 

worse from here. 

“We learn as we go,” 

Berens said. “I’m glad it 

was yucky conditions and 

moving forward, we are 

going to know how to handle 

ourselves.” 

The Giants hope to bring 

over that conference success 

into the postseason. 

They’ll take part in the 

Buffalo Grove IHSA Regional 

on Oct. 10 at the 

Buffalo Grove Golf Club, 

where they plan on continuing 

their recent lessons 

and success. 

“I’m so proud of them. 

I know that they’ve been 

working hard to come in 

strong to conference and 

work toward regionals, 

sectionals,” Berens said. 

“A lot of their goals have 

been to move in and out of 

regionals and to see they’re 

hard work to come to fruition 

is so satisfying.”

Giants impress in CSL 

tournament without top golfer 

Michal Wojtychiw 


Highland Park came 

into the Central Suburban 

League conference meet 

looking to make a statement 

as it prepares to make 

a playoff run. 

But the Giants would 

have to do so without top 

golfer Jared Grossman, 

who was out sick for the 

Oct. 2 meet at the Glencoe 

Golf Club. 

The Giants felt his loss 

but were still able to finish 

second in the CSL North 

division, shooting a 337, 

10 strokes behind champion 

Deerfield. 

“It was a tough day for 

everybody,” Highland 

Park coach Paul Harris 

said. “Battling the conditions, 

Mother Nature 

didn’t hold back and made 

the course very difficult. I 

was happy we were able 

to post really strong scores 

and finish second. It would 

have been great to finish 

first, but at the same time, 

I’m really proud of how 

our guys competed today.” 

With Grossman out, 

Adam Meitus took over 

No. 1 golfer duties for 

the Giants, finishing 

third overall after shooting 

a nine-over-81. Ben 

Shamberg led the Giants 

by shooting a 79, good 

for second in the overall 

standings and two strokes 

behind the individual 

champion from Deerfield. 

Alex Finger was the 

third Highland Park golfer 

to finish in the top 10 in 

the overall standings after 

he put together an 84, good 

enough for sixth place. Interestingly 

enough, the trio 

of Finger, Shamberg and 

Adam Meitus lines up his putt during the Central Suburban 

League conference meet on Oct. 2 in Glencoe. 

Michael Wojtychiw/22nd Century Media 

Meitus all had better back 

nines than front nines. 

“You want to be playing 

your best golf at this time 

of the year, so it’s great to 

see that we had three guys 

finish in the top six,” Harris 

said. “At the same time, 

high school golf is a team 

game and they count the 

four lowest scores, so I 

think that’s going to motivate 

everyone going into 

regionals, to just assume 

that your score might 

count and do their best. 

And we did today. Guys 

really competed hard, we 

just didn’t get that fourth 

score.” 

The Giants now prepare 

for the state playoffs, hoping 

to make a nice run, 

possibly qualifying their 

entire team. 

Highland Park came one 

spot away from qualifying 

its team for the sectional 

7 

meet last year, but qualified 

multiple individuals, 

including Grossman. 

The Giants have now 

seen how they can compete 

without Grossman 

and showcase their depth. 

“We just have to try to 

get better.” Harris said. “I 

think at this time of the 

year, people care so much 

about the results but we 

need to focus on getting 

better every day, so that 

we can play our best golf 

at the end of the year. For 

us, the biggest thing is not 

worrying so much about 

advancing to sectionals or 

state and instead, focusing 

on continuing to get better. 

“It was great to see 

Adam, Ben and Alex step 

up today. When Jared 

Grossman comes back 

next week, if we can put 

together four solid scores, 

we can do really well.”

Girls Ice Hockey 

First-year head coach to guide promising Scouts squad 

Nick Frazier, Sports Editor 

Despite taking over a 

team with just four seniors, 

new Lake Forest 

head coach Katy Shadek 

will have high expectations 

to meet. 

That’s because the 

Scouts return 19 skaters 

from a team that finished 

first in the Founders Cup 

and reached the Amateur 

Hockey Association of 

Illinois’ state quarterfinals 

last season. If the coop 

team can click under 

Shadek, there’s no reason 

the Scouts can’t make another 

deep run in March. 

An assistant coach 

the past two season at 

New Trier, Shadek is a 

Kenilworth native that 

skated at St. Olaf College 

and graduated from Lake 

Forest Academy. She was 

part of a Trevians squad 

that won a state title in 

2018 and knows what it 

takes to win. 

Not only does she having 

experience guiding 

successful teams, but 

Shadek is eager to be a 

role model to young Lake 

Forest program. It’s why 

she also coaches a youth 

girls team in Wilmette. 

“I’ve found that having 

a female role model really 

helps,” Shadek said. 

“They’re really able to 

look up to you and realize 

that girls can be leaders 

and go on to play in 

college. Having an opportunity 

to lead a team 

like that was really an opportunity 

I couldn’t turn 

down.” 

Shadek takes over a 

Scouts team that has potential, 

pulling girls from 

Lake Forest, Highland 

Park, Woodlands Academy, 

Libertyville, Stevenson 

and Deerfield. 

The team’s top four 

scorers from last season 

return this year, including 

Kennedy Stein, a fouryear 

varsity forward. The 

LFHS senior totaled 33 

goals in the 2018-19 season 

and will be the team’s 

top playmaker. She tallied 

four goals in the team’s 

season-opening 4-1 win 

over Glenbrook on Sept. 

22. 

“Kennedy Stein is one 

that definitely will be one 

of our leading scorers,” 

Shadek said. “Last season, 

she played in maybe 

a little over half the games 

leading up to playoffs and 

was leading with goals. 

That should be a good 

player out there.” 

It’s not a one-girl show 

by any means, as Lillian 

Aston, Lucy Heller 

and Abby Benjamin will 

contribute offensively as 

well. Emily Manfred is a 

breakout forward to watch 

after tallying 11 points in 

18 games a year ago. 

On the defensive end, 

Jessica Krug and Sophie 

Huddlestun are the 

top returning skaters on 

the blue line. Sarah Matthews 

posted a .905 save 

percentage in net last season 

and stopped 13 shots 

in the victory over Glenbrook. 

There’s plenty of talent 

on this roster, but Shadek 

is most impressed with the 

Scouts’ knack to play as a 

team, despite the varying 

experience levels among 

skaters. 

“We got some kids that 

can skate the puck end-toend 

and others that will 

go with them, they’ll all 

try and pass to each other, 

they’ll make team plays,” 

Shadek said. “Especially 

off the ice, they do a lot 

of team-bonding stuff and 

make sure everyone’s included 

regardless of their 

level. How they play as 

a team will really benefit 

them throughout the season.” 

Shadek acknowledges 

that the previous Scouts 

coaches, Liz Zorn and 

Laura Danforth, set the 

bar high for this program. 

The team won a pair of 

state titles earlier this decade. 

With uber-talented forwards 

and team cohesivness, 

however, that bar 

can be passed again in the 

2019-20 season. 

“There’s a lot of commitment 

from these girls, 

given some of the talent I 

think it’d be great to see 

how far they can go,” 

Shadek said. “We’re starting 

off with a win which 

is always a good thing, 

we’re hoping to make it to 

the top.”

Defense dominates in Giants victory 

6 

Nick Frazier, Sports Editor 

How a team responds 

with its back against the 

wall reveals the mental 

toughness of its players. 

Highland Park was down 

seven points in a defensive 

battle, and conference foe 

Vernon Hills was in the red 

zone early in the third quarter. 

With the Giants offense 

having yet to pick up a first 

down in the game, it was a 

crucial point in the team’s 

season. 

The Giants responded, 

forcing a Cougars turnover 

and outscoring their opponents 

16-0 the rest of the 

way in a 16-7 win on Friday, 

Oct. 4, at Vernon Hills 

Athletic Complex. 

Erick De La Cruz intercepted 

Vernon Hills quarterback 

Thomas Monken to 

keep it a one-score game, 

and fullback Giovanni Volpentesta 

(12 carries, 107 

yards) scored a 68-yard 

touchdown run on the ensuing 

drive to swing the 

momentum in the Giants’ 

(3-3, 2-0 CSL North) favor. 

Highland Park had -5 

yards of offense in the first 

half, as the Cougars’ (4-2, 

1-1) linebackers filled the 

gaps and shut down the run 

game. Giants coach David 

Lindquist swears all that 

changed in the second half 

was the team’s attitude and 

effort. 

“We had a lot of opportunities 

to make plays in the 

first half, we missed one or 

two blocks here and there,” 

Lindquist said. “It wasn’t 

a schematic thing, it was 

a thing that our guys just 

weren’t getting where we 

needed to be. We got on 

them and told them they 

have to respond if they 

want to win this thing. The 

good news was we were 

only down 7-0 so we were 

able to continue to lay it on 

them.” 

Sam Fishman, a senior 

on the HPHS offensive and 

defensive line, agrees with 

his head coach. 

“[Offensive line coach 

Ed Garza] said ‘There’s 

nothing schematic that we 

can do to fix it, we just got 

to change our effort and 

attitude,’” Fishman said. 

“We came out really flat in 

the first quarter, we kind of 

just accepted what came to 

us. In the second half we 

made a conscious decision 

to go out and fight harder 

than they did, and that really 

helped us out.” 

While the offense struggled 

throughout the first 

half, the Giants defensive 

unit kept the game close. 

Jaden Holzman had a big 

sack to force a Vernon Hills 

punt in Highland Park territory 

in the first quarter. 

The Cougars then started 

the second quarter 11 yards 

away from the end zone after 

a couple of big pass play 

to close the first. A Vernon 

Hills holding penalty and 

great tackling by Holzman 

and De La Cruz resulted in 

a turnover on downs. 

The Giants’ defensive 

gameplan was to constantly 

pressure Monken, a quarterback 

who loves to run. That 

also meant Monken had less 

time to throw the ball deep 

to 6-foot-5 tight end Jack 

Barszcz. Highland Park’s 

secondary held Barszcz to 

five catches for 93 yards, 

including just one 14-yard 

catch in the second half. 

“Our gameplay was to 

hit the quarterback,” Fishman 

said. “They love to 

throw the ball, they got 

a really tall receiver who 

they love to chuck it up too 

deep. The more we hit him, 

Line score 

the more he’s going to do 

quick throws, he’s going to 

want to get rid of it faster. 

We studied a lot, we do a 

lot of film, we pick up on 

what they do. We could tell 

with pretty decent accuracy 

when they would run and 

in which direction, so that 

really helped us in the long 

run in this game.” 

Highland Park would allow 

a Cougars touchdown 

with 5:18 left in the opening 

half. Vernon Hills put 

together a seven-play drive 

that ended in a 22-yard 

touchdown pass. 

It looked like the Cougars 

would add on to their 

lead to start the second half 

until De La Cruz intercepted 

a tipped Monken pass at 

the Giants’ 12-yard line. 

“He plays hard, he’s 

coachable,” Lindquist said 

of the junior. “Every now 

and then I have to come 

after him for something, 

he usually responds. I can 

coach him up and he makes 

good plays.”

Volpentesta burst through 

the middle of the field, 

made a cut and raced his 

way to the end zone. Zion 

Griffin (14 carries, 54 

yards) converted the twopoint 

try, and suddenly 

Highland Park had an 8-7 

lead with four minutes left 

in the third quarter. 

On Vernon Hills’ next 

possession, Volpentesta 

picked off Monken, and the 

Giants linebacker scampered 

down to the VHHS 

14-yard line. Volpentesta 

then punched the ball in 

himself five plays later, and 

the fullback converted the 

two-point try to make it a 

two-score game after three 

quarters. 

Highland Park and Vernon 

Hills then traded punts 

before the Cougars put a 

long drive together. Unfortunately, 

two Vernon Hills 

receivers went down with 

injuries on the drive and 

had to be taken off the field 

on a stretcher. 

Not only were the Giants 

worried about the Cougar

players’ health, but the injuries 

took up about 25 minutes 

of time total. Highland 

Park’s defense could have 

easily lost momentum during 

that time. 

“It’s tough because I 

think we’re all feeling for 

those guys,” Lindquist 

said. “Just trying to keep 

our guys focused, eyes on 

the prize. We have a few 

minutes left, we can’t get 

complacent. We have to 

come back out and keep 

playing physical, I think 

they responded well.” 

Sure enough, the Giants 

later forced a turnover on 

downs with less than three 

minutes to play. Highland 

Park’s offense then picked 

up a couple of first downs 

to ice the game. 

The Giants now are tied 

for first in the CSL North 

with three conference 

games remaining. Up next 

is a home matchup versus 

Niles North on Friday, Oct. 

11. 

With three games at 

Wolters Field to close out 

the season, the Giants are 

itching to get back to the 

playoffs after a 4-5 season 

in 2018. Lindquist insists 

the team must take it one 

game at a time to keep this 

momentum going. 

“We’ve got to play each 

week like the Super Bowl,” 

Lindquist said. “We can’t 

look forward, we can’t 

look back, it’s got to be the 

next play, the next game. 

We have momentum, that’s 

not to say Niles North isn’t 

going to take it next week. 

We’ll enjoy this for 48 

hours, we’ll get right back 

in the meeting room and 

draw up our plan for next 

week.”

the only No. 1 pick in the 

NBA draft never to play a 

professional game, died at 

his Highland Park home 

on Sept. 27, 2019 at age 

92. 

The two-time All American, 

who at 5-foot-8 once 

earned the moniker “the

led Bradley to the 

championship games of 

the NCAA and NIT tournaments 

in 1950, and was

Melchiorre was among 32 

players on seven teams 

that admitted to taking 

bribes from bookmakers 

to manipulate scores. The 

NBA then banned all the 

players involved in the 

scandal from the league 

for life. 

“It’s not disappointing 

at all when I look back on 

it,” he told the Peoria Journal 

Star in 2003. “I could 

understand why I couldn’t 

play. I had to move on. I 

had a wife and family.” 

He and his wife Kay were 

married for 62 years until 

her death in 2013. They 

had five children. 

When Melchiorre returned 

to Highland Park, 

he eventually landed a 

job as a letter carrier for 

the Post Office. He later 

worked in insurance, TV 

and appliance sales, trucking, 

real estate and construction. 

“For the first few years 

after the incident he kind 

of shied away from the 

public and crowds, but he 

was able to overcome that. 

Providing for his family 

became his mission moving 

forward,” said Paul 

Harris, Highland Park 

High School’s head basketball 

coach and a friend 

of Melchiorre. 

In 2012, Melchiorre 

was inducted into Highland 

Park Sports Hall of 

Fame. “(The committee) 

reasoned that he was 

one of the best athletes 

to have ever graduated 

from Highland Park High 

School,” said District 113 

Supt. George Fornero at 

the time. “The group felt 

Melchiorre had paid for 

his actions and should be 

recognized for his accomplishments

at HPHS.” 

At the ceremony, Melchiorre 

was surrounded by 

friends and family. Later, 

he spoke to the Giants basketball 

team. 

“If you met him you 

would never know that he 

was as accomplished an 

athlete as he was because 

he was so incredibly humble,” 

Harris said. “He told 

us how thankful he was to 

get into the Hall of Fame 

and to have the opportunity 

to talk to our basketball 

team.” 

Former HPHS basketball 

coach Chuck Schramm 

recalled Melchiorre 

as “the best athlete the 

school ever had, without 

a doubt. He could have 

signed a pro contract to 

play baseball or to play 

basketball. He was a golfer. 

He played football. He 

was everything.”

Melchiorre was born in 

Highland Park, the son of 

a gardener who moved his 

family there from Joliet in 

1936. Though he was short 

and had pigeon toes, he 

lettered at HPHS in basketball, 

football, baseball 

and golf. 

After joining the Army, 

Melchiorre joined the basketball 

team at Fort Sheridan 

that won 58 out of 63 

games from 1945 to 1947. 

He then enrolled at Bradley, 

where his tuition was 

covered by the GI Bill. 

Playing guard for Bradley, 

Melchiorre dazzled 

with his passing abilities 

and speed. “It was unbelievable 

how he could 

manage his body and get 

a shot off,” former teammate 

Paul Unruh told the 

Peoria Journal Star. “We
