Lake Forest City Council
Posted to LakeForestLeaderDaily.com 9 days ago
Pandaleon reads prepared
statement on Kiely indictment
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
Following the indictment
of former Lake Forest
city manager Bob Kiely
on a charge of official misconduct,
Mayor George
Pandaleon responded during
the regular Lake Forest
City Council meeting on
Monday, Nov. 4.
In his statement, Pandaleon
said the City will not
talk about particulars of
the case.
“Because this is an ongoing
matter that was initiated
by the Lake County
State’s Attorney’s Office
and out of deference to
the proceeding and all the
parties involved, the City
will refrain from commenting
on the specifics
of the case,” he said.
Pandaleon added that
the City is not currently
involved in the process
with the indictment that
was filed with the County
Circuit Court.
“It is important that our
community understands
that the City did not seek
this action by the Lake
County State’s Attorney’s
Office and we don’t know
what caused it to be initiated
at this time,” he said.
“We are not a party to the
proceeding, but we will
cooperate if asked with
all parties as this matter
moves toward resolution.”
Pandaleon was complimentary
of Kiely’s service
to the community. Kiely
served as city manager for
nearly three decades until
his retirement in January.
“This body along with
many in our community
and beyond is well-aware
of the contributions that
Mr. Kiely has made to
our community over his
lengthy career,” he said.
“His record is well known
by most of us in this room
tonight. He always served
with one goal in mind: doing
right by Lake Forest
and all of its residents.”
Pandaleon also said he
is pleased with the way
the City has handled the
current situation.
“I’m very proud of our
team from council members
to staff who have
remained focused on the
job at hand and have conducted
themselves professionally
and capably as we
would all expect,” he said.
“The issues surrounding
this matter which we have
been dealing with for several
years have been both
challenging and very disruptive
to our community.”
As reported by The
Leader on Oct. 25, Kiely
has been indicted on a
charge of official misconduct.
According to
the indictment filed with
the Lake County Circuit
Court, Kiely “engaged
in a lobbying contract
in excess of the $20,000
purchasing authority set
forth in Section 38.31 of
the Lake Forest City Code
without the approval of
the City Council” between
Jan. 1, 2016 and March 1,
2017.
In other council action at
the Nov. 4 meeting, aldermen
approved a non-binding
estimate of the 2019.
This was approved to meet
a statutory requirement under
the Truth in Taxation
Act that the council approve
an estimate at least
20 days prior to approving
the tax levy ordinance.
The current 2019
tax levy estimate is
$33,783,111. That represents
a 4.59 percent increase
over last year’s extension.
A public hearing
is only required if the estimate
is at least a 5 percent
increase over last year’s
extension. Since it is less
than a 5 percent increase
at 4.59 percent, the hearing
is not required. This
was first discussed at the
Finance Committee meeting
on Oct. 21. The next
discussion regarding the
levy is scheduled for the
Nov. 12 Finance Committee
budget workshop.
The levy ordinance will
be considered by the City
Council on Nov. 18 for
first reading and again on
Dec. 2 for adoption.
The council also tabled
approval of the deed of
gift of the original 1857
map of the City of Lake
Forest to the Newberry
Library in Chicago until
its Nov. 18 meeting, allowing
staff to research
the feasibility of the Dunn
Museum of Lake County
in Libertyville.
“If by chance they have
the same facilities and if
by chance it provides access
in the same safe environment,
I think it warrants
discussion then,”
Alderman Ara Goshgarian
said. “We don’t know that
the Lake County facility
is indeed not an option,
although I would suspect
that Newberry is the best
place.”

Students learn about Veterans Day from Navy veteran
Peter Kaspari, Editor
What is Veterans Day?
The students at Cherokee
Elementary School in
Lake Forest had that question
answered by someone
very familiar with the day,
as Navy veteran Jamie
Nero spoke during a special
Veterans Day assembly
on Thursday, Nov. 7.
Nero said to understand
what the meaning behind
Veterans Day is, it’s important
to understand why
veterans are honored.
“My interpretation is to
honor and recognize those
who have served and defended
life, liberty and
pursuit of your individual
happiness,” he said, and
to also defend “our way of
life and the freedoms that
oftentimes, we take for
granted.”
Veterans have served
in various capacities and
branches, including the
Army, Marine Corps, Coast
Guard, Air Force, Navy
and the Merchant Marines,
Nero said.
“Our veterans today
have served domestically
and abroad in various capacities,”
he said. “Also
understand it’s not just the
branch of service, but who
served. Today that could
be a great-grandparent, it
could be a grandparent, a
mother or father, it could be
an aunt or uncle. In the notso-distant
future, it could
be a brother or a sister or a
cousin.”
Nero isn’t the only veteran
in his family either.
This past summer, Nero
said he went to Washington,
D.C., to accompany
his grandfather, a World
War II veteran who served
in the Air Force, on the
Honor Flight.

Navy veteran Jamie Nero speaks to Cherokee Elementary School students during
a Veterans Day assembly on Thursday, Nov. 7. Nero explained to students why it’s
important to honor and remember veterans every year. Photos by Peter Kaspari/22nd
Century Media
the Honor Flight raises
money to send veterans to
the nation’s capital, where
they spend a day visiting
all the monuments and
war memorials, including
World War II, Vietnam and
Korea.
Nero called it “a very
humbling experience.”
“He never talked about
his service until this summer,”
Nero said of his
grandfather.
He also shared a bit of
history about Veterans Day,
including telling students
that this year is the 100th
anniversary of Veterans
Day.
“Way back on Nov. 11,
1919, the one-year anniversary
of the end of World
War I is Armistice Day,”
Nero said. “Every year on
the 11th hour of the 11th
day of the 11th month, we
honor our veterans. Those
men and women who have
served our country.”
Nero told students that
Armistice Day wasn’t a
national holiday until 1946
and it wasn’t until 1956 that
President Dwight Eisenhower
renamed it Veterans
Day.
In closing, Nero told the
students about service and
how they’re already serving
in different capacities.
“It’s not too early to understand
service,” he said.
“You serve the Cherokee
community. You do that
here in town for Lake Forest,
and as you get older,
you serve the greater institutions.
“And who knows? In the
not-so-distant future, perhaps
you will hear that call
of duty, that call of service
to your country, and we’ll
be honoring you on Veterans
Day.”
In addition to Nero’s
speech, the assembly featured
a video showing
photos of veterans that are
either related or have a
connection to students and
staff members of Cherokee,
a song performed by
all Cherokee students, a
presentation by the Color
Guard of American Legion
McKinlock Post 264 and
visits from veterans across
the Lake Forest community.
One of those veterans
was Anne Friedman, who
served in the Army.
Friedman had never attended
the Cherokee assembly
before.
“It was fabulous,” she
said. “It was beautiful.”
Friedman enjoys visiting
with children.
“I hope to inspire them,
especially the girls,” she
said. “Let them know women
can also serve. They can
do whatever they want.”
She especially appreciates
that children learn
about Veterans Day.
“I was just grateful and
thankful that they honor
veterans every year,” she
said. “And they have the
kids participate and show
their appreciation for veterans
and what it means.”

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Application for recreational
marijuana dispensary
heading to vote
An application for
Northbrook’s first recreational
marijuana dispensary
is moving forward.
The Northbrook Plan
Commission instructed
village staff to prepare a
resolution recommending
approval of an application
filed by Greenhouse Group
LLC as the potential lessee
of the property located at
755 Skokie Blvd. during
its Nov. 5 regular meeting.
Commissioners conducted
their second public
hearing on the application
during the meeting. The
commission held its first
review of the proposal
during its Oct. 15 meeting,
where almost two dozen
members of the public
spoke during the publiccomment
portion. Commissioners
considered all
elements of the application
Oct. 15 except a text
amendment to allow adultuse
cannabis dispensaries
as special-permit uses in
Northbrook. At that time,
Village trustees had not yet
determined their opinions
on the matter.
Members of the commission
predominantly
agreed that the applicant’s
requested relief was appropriate
at that meeting.
The Village Board of
Trustees then unanimously
voted Oct. 22 to allow special-use
permits to be issued
for recreational marijuana
dispensaries in the
C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-5 districts,
but not in downtown
Northbrook. With the Village
Board’s approval, the
Plan Commission was then
able to consider all parts of
Greenhouse Group’s application.

LFCDS honors veterans
Submitted Content
On Wednesday, Nov. 6,
more than 400 Lake Forest
Country Day School
students, faculty and staff,
as well as city officials and
veterans, gathered in the
school’s Atrium for the annual
Veterans Day event,
one of the school’s most
treasured traditions.
“This is a time to come
together as a community to
celebrate the courageous
women and men who ensure
we live our lives in
freedom,” Head of School
Joy Hurd said.
The ceremony began
with the posting of the
flags by the Lake Forest
American Legion Post
264 Color Guard and the
school’s eighth-grade
Boy Scouts who led the
group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The third-grade
students led the singing
of the “Star Spangled
Banner,” and five Upper
School student trumpeters
played “Taps.” In addition
to eighth-grade students
sharing reflections on their
visit to Washington D.C.
earlier this fall, the special
guest speakers were U.S.
Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-
10), and Retired U.S. Navy
Capt. James D. Hawkins.
Schneider noted that
veterans come from all
walks of life and form the
very fabric of our country,
and he expressed deep
gratitude for their service.
Hawkins reminded those
assembled that veterans’
families also play an invaluable
role in ensuring
each service member’s
success. He asked the
students to remember to
thank the families as well
as the veterans themselves.

School, expresses his gratitude to veterans from

To close the ceremony,
fourth-grade students sang
a rousing rendition of “Fifty
Nifty United States,”
then all of the students
turned to face the veterans
in attendance and sang
“Thank You, Soldiers”
with overwhelming emotion.
As students filed out
of the Atrium and back to
class, they shook the veterans’
hands, and offered
their heartfelt and sincere
thanks.
“The LFCDS Veterans
Day Assembly is the most
moving ceremony I’ve witnessed
in all of my years in
education,” said Hurd. “It is
a tradition that is reflective
of many of the School’s
core values including partnership,
responsibility, and

participation.”
The school’s goal is to
deliver a diverse and rich
educational experience
grounded in rigorous academics,
arts, athletics, and
social-emotional learning
while producing students
who are responsible citizens
of the world.
“From our two-yearold
program through our
eighth grade, we are dedicated
to providing our
students with a hands-on
learning environment that
prepares them to be critical
thinkers, innovative problem
solvers, and effective
communicators, “ said
Hurd. “Today I believe we
were successful in communicating
our immense
gratitude to all those who
have served and continue
to serve our country.”

Bernie’s Book Bank featured on Highland Park art wall
Slimy
The Teich family, Lake Forest
Slimy is a fancy, telescope
goldfish—aptly named for his
protruding eyes and keen
ability to identify celestial
objects. Slimy spends the
large majority of his time
exploring the vast depths
of his tank, and surprisingly shies away from time
outside of his tank (despite the ever-present,
potential adventures beckoning to him from just
outside of his tank). Our daddy is in charge of
cleaning Slimy’s tank, feeding him, and generally
caring for him. We brought Slimy into our home
when he was just a babe, and now he is a mature
and very healthy goldfish.

Schneider gives legislative update to area chambers
Peter Kaspari, Editor
U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider
gave a legislative update
in Lake Forest on
Friday, Nov. 8 at the Lake
Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber
of Commerce’s Multi-
Chamber Luncheon.
The Democrat from
Deerfield, who represents
Illinois’ 10th Congressional
District, spoke to
Chamber members from
Lake Forest and Lake
Bluff, as well as those
from Highland Park and
the GLMV (Green Oaks,
Libertyville, Mundelein,
Vernon Hills) Chamber of
Commerce.
Schneider stressed the
importance of small businesses.
“Small business is the
heartbeat of our economy,”
he said. “There’s
now more than 30 million
small businesses in the
country.”
While he said small
businesses are important,
something that Schneider
is concerned about is
that start-ups are declining,
and there are fewer of
them than there were 10-

“Small business is the heartbeat
of our economy. There’s
now more than 30 million small
businesses in the country.”
-U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider
20 years ago.
“I want to try, and my
colleagues, Republican
and Democrat, we’re
looking for ways on the
Small Business Committee
to energize that entrepreneurship
culture,”
he said, adding that they
want to promote the
American “can do” spirit
and that there’s nothing
the country can’t do.
Schneider said there
are four keys to economic
success, including having
a business model and partnerships
with local, state
and federal agencies.
Access to capital is also
important, as well as a stable
business and political
environment.
“Businesses thrive on
predictability,” Schneider
said. “If we can provide
that predictability, then
especially small businesses,
farm businesses, entrepreneurs,
can make their
decisions whether or not
to make that leap, make
that investment.”
Schneider also highlighted
bipartisan legislation
that the United States
House has passed that he
believes will help small
businesses. This includes
the Secure Act, which
Schneider said will “provide
small businesses and
the self-employed plan for
retirement.”
Another piece of legislation
that is currently

Bluff Chamber of Commerce Multi-Chamber Luncheon on Friday, Nov. 8. Peter
Kaspari/22nd Century Media
being discussed in Washington
is the U.S./Mexico/Canada
Agreement,
or USMCA, which is the
successor to the North Atlantic
Free Trade Agreement,
or NAFTA.
“This is something
where there is desire to
get to yes on all sides,” he
said. “Democrats, Republicans,
House, Senate.”
Right now discussions
are ongoing to alleviate
everyone’s concerns, and
Schneider is hopeful it
will be voted on before
the end of the year.
Schneider also answered
some questions
from the audience.
One question was about
the 2017 tax code revision,
which included a
state and local tax cap,
which the speaker said is
hurting local property values.
Schneider, who voted
against the 2017 bill, said
he’s part of a working
group that is working on
legislation to fix that issue
with the law.
“We’re trying to find
that compromise and path
forward,” Schneider said.
Another question was
about how to attract businesses
to Illinois.
Schneider said infrastructure
is important to
help bring businesses to
town, as is building strong
communities.
“(It’s) creating a climate
that welcomes businesses
that has an expectation of
those businesses to be a
part of our communities,”
he said.

Lake Forest Book Store celebrates 70 years in business
Peter Kaspari, Editor
The Lake Forest Book
Store, one of the most
well-known local businesses
in Lake Forest, has
been celebrating a milestone
anniversary this year.
In 1949, 70 years ago,
the book store opened its
doors on Western Avenue
in downtown Lake Forest.
And while the location
has changed twice since its
initial opening, the Lake
Forest Book Store is still a
major presence on Western
Avenue, providing a wide
book selection, a staff who
can help with book recommendations,
and a place to
visit with favorite authors
when they come to town
for book discussions.
Eleanor Thorn has been
the book store’s owner for
the past seven years.
“It was opened by a
group of women who
decided that Lake Forest
needed a book store,”
Thorn said. “There was,
I think around 10-12 of
them. We opened in 1949
and ever since then, it’s
always been owned by
women.”
Many of the women
have lived locally as well,
she added.
Thorn believes there are
many qualities that set the
Lake Forest Book Store
apart from other book
stores.
“It’s a neighborhood
book store,” she said. “We
live here, we work here, so
we know our customers,
their friends, their neighbors.
We get to know everybody,
and we give them
a personal experience.”
Often times, visitors
to the store will come in
without any idea of what
type of book they might
want to buy, but after

speaking with a staff member,
they’ll end up with a
recommendation, or maybe
more than one.
“The girls are so wellread,”
Thorn said of her
staff. “I think that they can
recommend any book to
anybody, whether they’re
readers or non-readers.
“There’s always something
to give. It becomes
a personal experience in
here.”

people choose to shop

Donations encouraged this holiday season
Peter Kaspari, Editor
As the holiday season
approaches, the Lake
County Community Foundation
is encouraging
people to be generous and
to donate to worthwhile
causes throughout the
county.
There are two days in
particular the foundation
is encouraging donations
on; National Philanthropy
Day, which is Friday, Nov.
15, and Giving Tuesday,
which is Dec. 3 this year.
Maggie Morales, executive
director of the Lake
County Community Foundation,
said National Philanthropy
Day is a time to
celebrate generosity.
“That’s really what
makes our communities
a better place,” she said.
“It’s not just about celebrating
peoples’ financial
commitments to the communities
or the organizations
that they support, but
also peoples’ generosity
with their time and creativity
and their love for
the community.”
Giving Tuesday, which
is held the Tuesday after
Thanksgiving, is a day
where families are encouraged
to donate locally.
Morales said, in Lake
County, residents are encouraged
to donate to local
nonprofits who participate
in the day.
This time of year typically
sees an increase in
donations.
“Especially in the giving
season and over the
holidays, people are thinking
about others and it’s a
great opportunity to really
reflect on the impact that
your individual giving has
in your own community,”
Morales said. “Whether
it’s your church community
or your school or your
neighborhood.
“I think these days are
special because it gives us
a space to kind of pause
and reflect on the value
that generosity has in making
our community a better
place.”
She added the Lake
County Community Foundation
is a resource to help
people make sure their
donations get to the right
place.
“When you give to an
organization like ours,
you’re giving in an amplified
way,” she said. “Because
it’s not just about
your one gift – it’s about
the pooled impact. The
sum is greater than all of
its parts.”
Morales said oftentimes,
people may not think a donation
such as $25 makes
a difference, but when it’s
combined with other donations,
it does make an impact.
She encouraged everyone
to be generous.
“It’s something we need
to be instilling in our children
from an early age so
they understand the power
and importance of generosity
and that that is truly
what makes a difference,”
she said. “No matter what
level of generosity you’re
able to provide. It’s the
fact that you’re being generous
that’s going to make
the impact.”
There’s especially a
need for generosity in
Lake County. Morales said
she’s noticed the need increase,
especially over the
past year.
“We typically receive
nearly 30 grant proposals,”
she said. “This year
was almost 60.”
And if people can’t donate
their money, Morales
said there are other ways
to donate, including volunteering
time and creativity.
“Even opting to volunteer
at a one-time event is
better than not doing anything,”
she said.

LB Garden Club celebrates
member’s 100th birthday
Submitted Content
Longtime Lake Bluff
Garden Club member
Barbara Stuessy recently
celebrated her 100th birthday
with the help of some
fellow club members.
The celebration included
a party at Lake
Forest Place, where she
has resided since 2014.
The lovely luncheon was
hosted by her stepson,
Tod Stuessy, and his wife,
Patty, from Columbus,
Ohio. Family, friends and
Lake Bluff Garden Club
members and Lake Forest
staff members were in attendance.
Sitting in her wheelchair
in a stylish navy
pant outfit with a beautiful
embroidered silk
shawl, her eyes twinkled
as she accepted greeting,
congratulations and
cards from guests as they
entered. She was particularly
delighted to greet the
garden club members who
wore their traditional garden
club aprons.
Stuessy has lived
through a great deal of
history in her lifetime.
Born in 1919 at the end
of World War I during
the Paris Peace Conference,
she and her husband
Haydn moved from
Waukegan to Lake Bluff
in 1961. She was an active
community member during
her 53-year residence
on Moffett Lane, devoting
much of her time to the
Lake Bluff Garden Club,
which she joined in 1962.
She served as president
from 1967-1969 and remained
an active member
for 52 years. In 2014,
she reigned as the Grand
Marshall in the Lake Bluff
Fourth of July parade
representing the Garden
Club.
Members visit her regularly,
bringing her photos
and news of the club and
community. Her family
and friends agree that
her secret to longevity
lies in her gentle nature
and her unique ability to
shower love and kindness
on those whose lives she
touches.

Lake Bluff History Museum
Christmas Home Tour is fast approaching
Adrienne Fawcett
Lake Bluff History Museum
The holiday season
doesn’t begin in
October when
Target says so, at least not
in Lake Bluff. Here the
kickoff is the Lake Bluff
History Museum Christmas
Home Tour, which
includes homes that span
110 years.
The Dec. 8 tour is the
museum’s biggest fundraiser,
supporting efforts
to digitize the collection
and mount exhibits. Museum
board member Penny
Marsh has co-chaired
the tour since it began in
2010.
“People tell me the
Christmas Home Tour
puts them in the holiday
spirit,” said Marsh. “It’s
a good way to see how
others are decorating, and
it’s fun to see people you
haven’t seen in a while.”
The tour is also a great
resource for interior
design, as the work of
several local decorators
will be featured, including
Soledad Zitzewitz
Interiors, Vicki Lidstrom
of Leggy Bird Designs,
and Jory Cathlina of Hazel
James Home.
The tour includes a Victorian
from the early 20th
century, a stone gatehouse
from just before the Great
Depression, a mid-century
farmhouse, and new construction
from the 20teens.
The 1955 home is a
three-story farmhouse
that was renovated in a
totally unexpected way.
Its exterior is typical of
a beautiful farmhouse,
with white board-andbatten
siding, shutters and
an intense blue entrance
door. Inside, rooms radiate
from a circular atrium of
double height in the heart
of the home. White, black
and different shades of
wood are the basics of this
home, with other colors
such as grass green, teal
and blue.
The circa-1905 Victorian
looks like it could be
the setting of a Hollywood
Christmas movie, with
its wrap-around porch,
original oak paneling, cutglass
windows and crown
molding – not to mention
the old-fashioned Santa
in the turret window. The
connection to Hollywood
has merit: The home was
built by a major player in
the vaudeville circuit who
went on to start one of the
Big Five movie studios in
Hollywood’s Golden Age.
The 1925 stone gatehouse
feels very British—
because it is; it even has
a stone-walled courtyard
that feels like a secret
garden. It was built on the
grounds of a Tudor-style
English summer estate
and is now a modernized
single-family home with
steeply pitched roofs;
rough-cut stone walls and
chimneys; recessed windows
with stone surrounds
and mullions; and a center
two-story front gable.
Another home on the
tour is sometimes referred
to as Lake Bluff’s Barbie
Dream House due to its
light pink color. Built in
2014, the sun-filled beach
house was on the tour a
few years ago and returns
this year to showcase
the next phase of its
evolution: a lower-level
decorated at one end as
a speak-easy with black
lacquered walls and at the
other end as a teen-age rec
room with a sport court
for practicing hockey.
One thing the homes on

all will be dressed up in
their holiday finery.

online instead of going out to
their locally-owned businesses,
Thorn said the book store
has had to adapt.
When she took over as
owner in October 2013, Thorn
realized that she could make
some changes to help improve
the products the book store offered.
One of the additions she
made to the book store was
offering stationary. That filled
a void that was left when Helanders
Stationers closed in
2016 after more than 90 years
in business.
Thorn also went a step further.
After the local toy store
closed, she decided to offer a
selection of toys in the book
store for the children that
shopped with their families.
The Lake Forest Book Store
sells small gifts as well.
“That is the only way independent
stores right now could
survive, by diversification of
what they sell,” Thorn said.
But she’s quick to add that
the book store will never forget
its roots, and continues to
offer a wide selection of books
in a variety of genres.
“Of course, my primary
responsibility is to have the
books that people want,” she
said. “And I don’t think I’ve
compromised that at all.”
In 2016, three years after
Thorn took over ownership
of the book store, it moved to
its current location at 662 N.
Western Ave., No. 1951.
The book store has had three
locations overall in Lake Forest,
but all three of them have
been on Western Avenue.
“I loved the opportunity for
growing the size of the store,”
she said. “And the windows
were absolutely beautiful and
we can showcase things better.”
The move also made it possible
to more clearly divide the
children and adult sections of
the store. One side of the store
is entirely dedicated to children
and young adult books.
Thorn likes to think of the
Lake Forest Book Store as a
“one-stop shop,” especially
during the holiday season
when people are doing their
shopping.
She also hopes that the book
store continues to grow with
the help of the community.
“We’re lucky that we have
such good community support,”
she said. “And I pray
that Amazon doesn’t take over
the world and that the younger
generation continues with the
actual physicality of touching
things and being in a store
and having an experience and
talking to people about what
books they like instead of just
ordering online.”
Thorn also thanked the book
store’s customers for all their
support over the years.
“I want to thank the community
and the support of everyone
who shops here,” she
said. “And I hope we’re here
for another 70 years. I can’t do
it without them.”

school, and worked “various blue
collar jobs” to able to afford his
sons’ education.
“It was just something he wanted
to do,” Murphy said.
Throughout its history, the organization
has awarded scholarships
to more than 2,600 students. The
Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund
currently services 460 students
in 80 different schools, according
to Murphy. He said each year
the organization receives between
1200-1400 applications, which are
whittled down through a lengthy
interview process.
“We try to put [these kids] in the
best places,” Murphy said.
The organization receives donations
from “thousands” of donors,
according to Murphy, which helps
to sustain the fund and continue to
put students through private high
schools.
“We quickly found out we have
an interesting model that people
liked,” Murphy said. “We raised
money from thousands of donors
all year.”
At the organization’s annual
gala, held Sept. 28 at the Revel
Fulton Market in Chicago’s West
Loop, more than $1.5 million was
raised. The event was chaired by
donors Mike and Lindy Keiser, and
honored donors Loretta and Bob
Cooney.
“I’m proud of what a great job
that the people who are running it
today are doing,” Murphy said.
He served as president for the
first nine years of the organization,
and now Jim and Robert Murphy
have left the organization in other
hands while Jim is employed in
Chicago and Robert is employed in
Northbrook.
But they’re still proud of the connection
that the organization has
with their father.
“My father was a wonderful man
that understood the value of hard
work and education,” Murphy said.
“I felt it was the right thing to do, to
start it and put it in his name. Sure
enough, it’s grown beyond our
wildest expectations, and I think
it will be around for a long, long
time.”

the fact that the people

because local book stores
seem to have a collection

way, every time I see a

I have to check it out.

Unlikely musician finds an audience at Gorton
Katie Copenhaver
Freelance Reporter
To say that the human
spirit is resilient and
that you can pursue your
dreams at any age sound
like common clichés. However,
when you meet someone
who wholly embodies
these life lessons, they suddenly
take on a profound
meaning.
The documentary-inprogress,
“Left-Handed
Pianist,” introduces us to
Norman Malone, who at 82
years old is finally fulfilling
his childhood dream,
having overcome daunting
challenges.
The Gorton Community
Center held a screening and
panel discussion about the
film on Sunday, Nov. 10, to
a sold-out audience in the
John and Nancy Hughes
Theater. “Left-Handed Pianist”
is a production of Kartemquin
Films, the awardwinning
Chicago-based
nonprofit film organization,
and this presentation was
the final 2019 installment
of the “Kartemquin Presents”
series at Gorton.
“Their documentaries
are so thought-provoking,”
said Jamie Hall, director of
film for Gorton. “It’s amazing
to be involved with
Kartemquin.”
This event included the
screening of a demo trailer
and excerpts from the
film, a live piano performance
by Malone and the
panel discussion featuring
Malone, Producer/Writer/
Arts Critic Howard Reich,
Producer and Lake Forest
resident Diane Quon, Director/Executive
Producer
Gordon Quinn and Director
Leslie Simmer. It was moderated
by Jason Stephens,
the film’s associate producer
as well as a lecturer
in the Arts, Entertainment
and Media Management
Department at Columbia
College Chicago.
Malone’s story, as told in
“Left-Handed Pianist,” is
that his musical talent had
emerged by the time he was
5 years old. His family had
a piano in their home from
early on where he practiced
his playing. Unfortunately,
his father suffered from
mental illness brought
on by the end stages of
syphilis and one evening
flew into a rage, attacking
10-year-old Norman and
his two younger brothers.
Their father committed suicide
following the attack on
his sons.
“The three of us weren’t
supposed to survive,”
Malone said in the film.
“But, we did.”
Norman’s father hit him
on the head with a hammer,
which left Norman
paralyzed on his right side.
After a long recovery in the
hospital through the spring
and summer of that year,
Malone resumed piano
playing using only his left
hand and foot. He searched
all over the south side of
Chicago for a piano teacher
who would accommodate
his disability, and finally
found one man, Lester
Mather, who was willing
“to take a chance on him,”
said Malone.
That early training and
desire led Malone to college
at DePaul University,
where he studied voice and
piano. He explained in the
panel discussion following
the film screening that
it took him nine years to
complete his degree because
he worked full-time
at the American Medical
Association and took classes
part-time. He did not
have a scholarship to pay
for his education, so he had
to fund it himself.
Classes in education
were required for his music
degree at DePaul, and
as a result, Malone felt inspired
to become a teacher.
However, one of his teachers
told him that he could
not be a teacher because
he was handicapped. She
told him he would not be
able to walk up and down
stairs to stages and stand
up in front of classes. That
came as a real blow to his
plans and self-esteem as he
approached his graduation.
Nonetheless, he did not
let it keep him down for
long. It just made him more
determined, and he did become
a music teacher in
the Chicago Public Schools
for 34 years. Lincoln Park
High School was among
the schools where he taught
and led an award-winning
student choir.
Several years after
Malone’s retirement, Chicago
Tribune Arts Critic
Howard Reich learned
about his piano playing
from a chance encounter.
Reich was joined at a restaurant
before a concert by
two of Malone’s apartment
building neighbors who
told Reich about Malone’s
skillful piano playing. That
led to an introduction between
Reich and Malone.
Reich then discovered
that Malone had been practicing
piano concertos written
specifically for the left
hand for years by Brahms,
Prokofiev, Bartok, Britten,
and his favorite piece,
Maurice Ravel’s “Piano
Concerto for the Left
Hand.” He had never told
his students or colleagues
in the schools about this or
about how he had become
paralyzed.
Reich wrote a series of
Norman Malone, of Chicago, performs for the audience Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Gorton
Community Center. Malone was paralyzed in an attack when he was a child and
plays with only his left hand. Photos by Alex Newman/22nd Century Media
articles on Malone for the
Chicago Tribune in 2015,
which led to invitations for
Malone to perform. The
most significant of those
came from West Hartford,
Connecticut Symphony
Orchestra Music Director
Richard Chiarappa asking
Malone to play the Ravel
piano concerto with them
in 2016. It would be the
first time Malone, who was
79 at the time, ever publicly
played with an orchestra.
Kartemquin began filming
this story with that
2016 performance when
Reich suggested to Quon
that this could be made into
a documentary, which they
expect complete in early
2020. The plan is to submit
it to a few film festivals and
hopefully also to PBS for
broadcast.
“It’s a deeper dive about
how music inspires us,”
said Simmer.
“By the time we’re done,
we’ll have all these parallel
stories,” said Quinn,
referring to a part about
Chicagoan Norman Malone, who was paralyzed in an
attack when he was a child, gives a piano concert with
only his left hand.
Malone’s piano teacher
Mather and the importance
of arts programming in
public schools.
For his performance at
Gorton, Malone played
parts of the Ravel concerto,
a ragtime piece for left
hand that he commissioned
from a contemporary composer
and a piece written
by another composer for
his daughter.
The audience included
one of Malone’s brothers
and three of his former students,
who were all mentioned
during the Q&A
portion of the panel discussion.
“Music programs [in
public schools] have been
cut back. It’s a tragedy,”
said Malone.

the documentary and how

its production is available

happiest at his farm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where he enjoyed visiting with friends and family and
taking trips to the DeYoung Family Zoo.
He is survived by his sister Carola Moraka, son William (Sylvia)VerMeulen, daughterAnn (Michael) O’Gorman,
grandchildren Michael, Eileen, Nicole, Kevin andAllison; along with the many wonderful caretakers and friends.

Brothers build on success with Bobby’s Deerfield
Martin Carlino
Contributing Editor
Perfection is a goal many
in the restaurant industry
consider unattainable.
But brothers Bobby and
Augie Arifi, owners of
Bobby’s Deerfield, have
been challenging that notion
for more than three
decades.
The two started working
together in the restaurant
industry in the 1980s,
and with the exception of a
six-month period, they’ve
been working together ever
since.
Bobby and Augie’s first
joint masterstroke in the
industry was Glenviewfavorite
Cafe Lucci. The
brothers long hoped to
build off their success at
Cafe Lucci and open another
restaurant on the North
Shore.
Seven years ago, they
struck a deal for the space
at 695 Deerfield Road, near
the intersection of Deerfield
and Waukegan roads,
and Bobby’s Deerfield was
born.
It operates under the
same structure as Cafe
Lucci, with Bobby taking
care of front-of-the-house
responsibilities and Augie
running the kitchen.
And to them, that is perfection.
“From job to job, we’ve
gone together,” Augie said.
“We went to school together,
we live on the same
block still, we’re real tight.
“Me and Bobby really
have a special relationship
that a lot of people don’t
have.”
Augie called the transition
to Deerfield a “perfect
first step” and said the community
welcomed them
with open arms.
Although the cooking
style at Bobby’s is similar
to Cafe Lucci’s, according
to Augie, ownership’s
initial goal was to build a
menu that was vastly different
than its Glenview
counterpart. However,
feedback indicated dinners
at Bobby’s were eager for
some resemblance to Cafe
Lucci.
“We kept hearing Bobby’s
was nothing like Cafe
Lucci, so then we started
to bring back some of the
influences with the Italian
dishes (we offer here) for
the people who were used
to Cafe Lucci,” Augie said.
Augie described the current
menu as one “that is
extensive for a restaurant
of Bobby’s size” and one
“that features something
for everyone.”
Bobby’s routinely offers
three or four daily specials
that often make their way
into menu consideration
due to popularity from diners.
That presents management
with a challenge
when it reviews changes to
Bobby’s menu.
Augie estimates Bobby’s
menu changes two or three
times a year, with each update
more difficult than the
last.
“There’s no dogs on the
menu,” Augie said, repeating
a common phrase
among those in the restaurant
industry.
“Almost all of our dishes
are good sellers,” Augie
continued. “It’s a good
feeling, but at times you
have to make some hard
choices.”
Augie and Bobby are always
flexible to entertain
returns to the menu if they
find patrons are frequently
requesting a particular dish.
They’ll even make any dish

that used to be on the menu
if they have the ingredients
on hand.
In addition to its wideranging
food menu, Bobby’s
also features an extensive
cocktail menu.
Augie described the bar
as a “liquid kitchen” and a
bar in which everything is
made in house.
Bobby’s makes its own
syrups and only uses freshsqueezed
juices.
“We invested a lot of
money in our bar and its
selection, and it has just
taken off immensely,” Augie
said.
Bobby’s Deerfield, approximately
5,200 square
feet in size, seats about 160
guests in its interior dining
room, according to Tim Arifi,
chief financial officer of
Bobby’s Restaurant Group
and Bobby Arifi’s son. The
restaurant’s sizable bar area
seats dozens more and a
private room offers seating
for 40 more guests.
22nd Century Media
editors recently visited
Bobby’s to taste some of its
beloved specialities.
We started our visit with
the restaurant’s zucchini
and quinoa cakes ($13) appetizer
offering.
The cakes are served
with a tzatziki sauce, a micro-green
salad and extra
virgin olive oil.
We next tried out Bobby’s
gnocchi short rib ($17)

dish, one of the menu options
that Augie said features
Cafe Lucci’s Italian
flair. The dish is made with
the restaurant’s homemade
gnocchi and served with
braised short rib ragout and
root vegetables.
Bobby’s signature burger
($15) was next up for a
taste. The burger features
a special blend of short
rib, brisket and chuck beef
made for Bobby’s Deerfield
by Allen Brothers, according
to Augie.
The 10-ounce burger
features gouda cheese, alfalfa
sprouts, tomato, red
onion, ketchup, mayo and
spicy brown mustard and is
served with hand-cut fries.
Bobby’s English pea
and shrimp risotto ($19),
the last entree we tasted, is
prepared with rock shrimp,
prosciutto di Parma, peas,
pea puree and pea tendril.
We ended our visit by
trying out the restaurant’s
sticky toffee cake ($9),
a popular dessert option
among guests.
Augie and Bobby recently
opened a Bobby’s location
in Lincoln Park, which

just celebrated its one-year
anniversary. There’s no
specific plans in the works
for another Bobby’s location
right now, but regardless
of where Bobby’s goes,
community will always be
an integral aspect of it.
“The most important
thing is that this is Deerfield’s
restaurant,” Augie
said.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Skyler Kreunen
Kreunen is a state qualifier
on the Lake Forest
girls cross-country team.
How did you get
started running crosscountry?
I didn’t do cross-country
freshman year, I thought
it would be way too much
running, but I did do
track, I ran the two-mile
a lot freshman year. A lot
of my friends from track
convinced me to do crosscountry.
What is your favorite
part of running crosscountry?
I really like running and
then the team was really
good, it’s a really supportive
team.
What is the most
challenging part of
running cross-country?
Definitely the races,
definitely when our coach
is saying “20 minutes until
the start line,” that’s
when the anxiety kicks in.
During the race it always
hurts, it’s a challenge. I’ve
never had a race where I
wasn’t like “Oh my god, I
have to stop.” It’s a challenge
to push through.
Do you have any
pre-game rituals or
superstitions?
After I put my spikes on
I always use Tiger Balm,
it’s kind of like IcyHot, it
smells really good, it gets
me ready to race.
What’s the best
coaching advice you’ve
ever gotten?
Probably from my crosscountry
coach now [Steve
Clegg], a lot of the times
during the races he’s just
like “Catch this girl, she’s
really close, you can get
here.” He always says stuff
like that, it really helps me
move up in races.
If you could play
another sport, what
would it be?
I feel like I’d play soccer.
Sometime I’ll do it for
fun with my brother, it’s
just fun chasing the ball
around.
22nd Century Media FIle Photo
Who is your favorite
athlete?
[Glenbard West runner]
Katelynne Hart. I run at
state with her, that’s really
exciting. I think it’s really
inspiring because she’s in
high school too and she’s
really good, so that motivated
me a little bit. If
she can do it, then I can be
good too.
What’s your favorite
place to eat?
It’s actually Potbelly,
they have some really
good sandwiches, I go
there a lot before races.
If you won the lottery,
what’s the first thing
you would buy?
I would probably buy a
cabin in Wyoming because
it’s really pretty there and
I really like cabins, they’re
so cozy.
If you could travel

The School of St. Mary’s
eighth-grade girls volleyball
team, according to coach Shawn
Edwards, has always been a
group of fighters.
That fight was on display in
the Catholic League Class AA
championship, where the Crusaders
defeated Our Lady of Perpetual
Help to win a league title
this season. SOSM celebrated
the team with a championship
parade on Thursday, Nov. 7.
“We’ve always been able
to come back even if we were
down,” Edwards said. “It was
kind of the hallmark of this team,
they had such great determination
and fight, they never ever
said they were going to quit.”
The Crusaders’ blue team,
which featured just seven girls,
went 10-1 in the regular season
while OLPH went 11-0. In the
championship game, the Warriors
came back to win the first set, before
St. Mary’s battled to win the
final two sets. It’s the first Class
AA title in the program’s history.
“I’m just really really proud
of these ladies and their accomplishment,”
Edwards said. “At
the end of it, our players, our parents,
everyone stormed the court,
they were all crying, it was a really
emotional thing. It was like
we won the NCAA championship,
it was amazing.”
According to Edwards, the
team’s motto all season was “Why
Not Us?”, a mindset that helped
lift the Crusaders to victory.
“It ended up resounding back
to us as players and coaches, that
we could do it,” Edwards said.
“Anything is possible.”

LFHS flag football team
wins tournament
Nick Frazier, Sports Editor
There’s plenty of excellent
teams at Lake Forest High School,
and that includes a Scouts intramural
team.
Lake Forest’s flag football team
won an intramural tournament
hosted by the Chicago Bears on
Saturday, Nov. 2 at Halas Hall.
It’s the Scouts fourth time winning
the invitational since 2013.
Scouts coach Adam Mocogni
said this year’s team was especially
dedicated to coming away
victorious. On the first practice,
the team got together early on a
Saturday and did a walkthrough.
“To put it frankly, they would
not accept losing,” Mocogni said.
“[Coach Matt] Fiordirosa and I
could tell just from the beginning
that their attitude was a little different,
they were very determined
to win.”
After winning its first two
games, Lake Forest squared off
with Lemont in the title game, a
matchup Mocogni said was one
of the more exciting games the

Scouts have ever played. Mocogni
said the two teams scored
four touchdowns in the final two
minutes in a back-and-forth affair.
In the end, Lake Forest scored on
a deep pass with about a minute
left, then the defense shut down
Lemont’s final drive to win.
The Scouts also won the Bears
tournament in 2013, 2015, and
2017.

Beach, a team tradition early on in
the season.
When the Scouts fell to Libertyville
in two sets in the sectional
semifinal, that message rang true.
“All of the girls, including the
coaches, we had these yellow ribbons
on our shirt to represent the
sunrise, to bring us back to the
moment we shared early in August,”
Rupnik said. “I think that
that really set the tone for our girls
to buy in, just giving it their best
everyday and enjoying what we
have together. Your time as an athlete
and your time in high school
is limited. Just having that mindset
going into the season helped
the girls really come close.”
The Scouts spent a lot of time
together outside of school this
year, even taking in a Northwestern
volleyball game together. The
tight-knit group will graduate seven
seniors, but the future is bright
for Lake Forest volleyball.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t
more that needs to be done in the
future.
“Looking ahead at next year,
I’m excited about who’s returning,
but I also know that we have
a lot of work in store for us too,
to continue to be competitive
and just to grow in all positions,”
Rupnik said. ‘Volleyball is one of
those sports where you really have
to have strength everywhere, not
just at one place.”
That foresight is what made
Rupnik a great college volleyball
player. It’s also what makes her a
great volleyball coach.
POY
From Page 29
that chemistry really helped us
turn it around this year.”
An excellent attacker in the
front row, Thrash was tasked
with leading the team while
handling increased expectations
to perform in game. Her
stats prove that she more than
rose to the occasion, racking
up 313 kills and 229 digs. She
also played in all 37 of Lake
Forest’s matches, resulting in a
28-9 campaign.
Most notably, Thrash saved
one of her best performances
for last, totaling 12 kills and 11
digs in the two-set regional final
win over McHenry.
When looking at her game,
Thrash notes her steadiness on
the court is a key factor in her
improved play.
“I think that my consistency
has definitely improved a lot
over the years,” Thrash said.
“This past season I was really
consistent.”
“She was just so consistent
for us to be that go-to player,”
Rupnik added. “That girl knows
how to put balls down, she really
gets the team excited. In
all aspects of the game, Alyssa
was such an important person
for us.”
It was a special season for
Thrash and the Scouts, whose
28 wins were more than the previous
two seasons combined.
Thrash knew this year’s squad
was different when the team
got together after tryouts and
shared their season-long goals.
The goals were big, but attainable.
“I think that’s when it really
hit me that this was a different
kind of team,” Thrash said.
Thrash has been playing volleyball
since she was 12 years
old and played club with Adversity
Volleyball based in Vernon
Hills. Despite having the talent
to compete at the collegiate level,
Thrash plans to focus more
on her academics and not play
volleyball in college.
That doesn’t mean she won’t
miss her three varsity seasons
with the Scouts, especially her
senior year.
“The Lake Forest volleyball
program means the world to me,
I absolutely adore it,” Thrash
said. “It taught me who I want
to be as a person, and it helped
me grew into what I wanted to
be as a person, I just think that’s
so important.”

Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year
Rupnik leads Scouts to 28 wins,
regional title in first season
Girls Volleyball Player of the Year
Thrash’s consistent play guides
Scouts to turnaround season
Nick Frazier, Sports Editor
A former defensive specialist
and team captain at
Lake Forest College, Tia
Rupnik excelled at preparing
for what opposing
teams would do. Knowing
what to expect and reacting
accordingly is a crucial
part of the position.
Yet Rupnik admitted she
didn’t know what to expect
in her first season as
head coach of the Scouts.
“If you were to ask me
before the season started
what I thought our record
would be, I wouldn’t have
even known what to guess
at the time,” Rupnik said.
After totaling just 22
wins in two seasons, Lake
Forest rebounded with
Rupnik at the helm in
2019. The Scouts went
28-9, competed well in
weekend tournaments and
capped the season off with
a regional title. The turnaround
campaign was more
than enough for Rupnik
to earn 22nd Century Media’s
2019 Girls Volleyball
Coach of the Year honor.
Rupnik served as the
Scouts’ assistant coach for
two seasons before taking
over as head coach this
year. Yet the Wisconsin native
is quick to credit Lake
Forest’s seven seniors for
the successful season.
“I think that our senior
class this year just really
stepped it up, everyone really
just bought in to the
concept of the team, which
was awesome,” Rupnik
said. “That had a huge part
on us having success in
terms of wins and losses,
but then also just us really
enjoying our time together
as a team.”

her team after the Scouts won the Hoffman Estates
tournament in September. Photo submitted
This year’s edition of the
Scouts were more versatile,
which made life easier for
Rupnik in her first season.
She could flip her outside
and right-side hitters to
defender different hitters
when necessary, a component
that the team didn’t
have in the past.
The most notable difference
this season was the
scouting, as Rupnik, assistant
coach Ray Werner
and the team committed to
studying film.
“We scouted pretty
much every team that we
played against this year,”
Rupnik said. “We scouted
other teams, we spent a
lot of time looking at ourselves
and trying to learn
from film, and that played
a huge role in us learning
and being more prepared
in our matches. I also think
for our girls, it just helped
them mentally, just feeling
more confident in what
they needed to do in matches
to find success.”
Led by superb outside
hitters Alyssa Thrash and
Caroline Graham, the
Scouts got off to a 9-1 start,
winning a tournament in
Hoffman Estates during
that stretch. Even when
Lake Forest picked up a
loss here and there, Rupnik
said she felt her team could
get the win if it had a second
chance.
Once Lake Forest placed
second in the Antioch Invitational
on Oct. 12, Rupnik
knew the Scouts could
compete with anyone.
“We had a really competitive
end of our season,
we saw Loyola, Libertyville,
Stevenson all in a
row,” Rupnik said. “We
ended on some really
tough matches. I feel like
after that [Antioch] tournament
is really where I felt
confident that we really
can compete at the same
level as these next three
teams that we’re about to
see. Despite only beating
Stevenson out of those
three, I think we learned so
much from those matches,
which helped us prepare
just in time getting into the
regional matches.”
According to Rupnik,
the team’s theme this year
was that the sun rises every
day. It’s what the coach
told her players after the
sunrise run on Lake Forest

Nick Frazier, Sports Editor
When Alyssa Thrash
transferred to Lake Forest
High School from Georgia
before her sophomore
year, then-assistant coach
Tia Rupnik couldn’t help
but notice Thrash’s natural
leadership qualities.
“I couldn’t believe how
strong of an athlete she
was, but also how strong
of a leader,” Rupnik recalled.
“Any time that
Alyssa wasn’t on the court,
which was rare, it was very
obvious because she has
such an important voice on
the court.”
Thrash, a 6-foot outside
hitter, continued to hone
NORTH SHORE
her leadership skills and
her on-court game while
with the Scouts. The result?
Captaining Lake Forest
to a regional title and
being named this year’s
22nd Century Media Girls
Volleyball Player of the
Year.
An All-North Suburban
Conference selection as a
junior a year ago, Thrash
was one of 10 athletes to
return from last season’s
Scouts team. There was a
lot of continuity for Lake
Forest this season, and that
made Thrash’s job as captain
much easier.
“It just really helped us,
being really close on and
off the court,” Thrash said.

Scouts cruise past Kaneland, advance to Class 6A quarterfinals
David Jaffe
Freelance Reporter
Lake Forest has had
some amazing comebacks
its last two games.
The Scouts came back
from 20 points down in
the fourth quarter to beat
Stevenson and make the
playoffs. They overcame
a 14-point deficit to beat
Belvidere North in the
opening round of the Class
6A tournament.
But on Friday, Nov. 8,
during the second round of
the IHSA playoffs at Lake
Forest High School, no
comeback was necessary
for the Scouts.
Lake Forest (7-4) got off
to a great start and played
arguably its most complete
game of the season as the
#14 seed Scouts dispatched
sixth-seeded Kaneland 35-
10. Lake Forest advances
to the quarterfinals to take
on second-seeded Deerfield.
“It was big getting off
to the type of start that we
did,” Lake Forest cornerback
Leo Scheidler said.
“Coming off those two
comeback wins, it was
good that we were able to
score early and get out to
a lead instead of playing
from behind.”
The Scouts went 59
yards in a little over four
minutes, scoring on Richie
Hoskins’ one-yard sneak
on fourth down with 4:25
left in the first quarter.
Then a Connor Morrison
interception set up
the Scouts at the Knights
28, resulting in a 16-yard
touchdown run by Hoskins
and a 14-0 advantage.
Morrison’s pick was
the start of a great day for
the Scouts defense which
completely contained the
Kaneland offense and
forced four turnovers.
Kaneland vs. Lake Forest
1 2 3 4 F
Lake Forest 14 0 14 7 35
Kaneland 0 3 0 7 10
Three stars of the game
1. Leo Scheidler, DB — 7 tackles, 3 PBU, 1 INT
2. Richie Hoskins, QB — 141 rushing yards, 130 passing
yards, 2 TD
3. Mac Uihlein, RB/LB — 50 rushing yards, 3 TD, 2 tackles
“We really focused on
knowing the routes their
receivers would run and
did a good job against
their pass protections,”
Scheidler said. “We knew
who their key receivers
would be and made sure
we would be in position to
prevent big plays.”
Kaneland got on the
board on a 32-yard field
goal with just over four
minutes left in the half.
There was a chance for
a momentum shift to start
the second half when the
Scouts muffed the opening
kickoff and the Knights
recovered at the Lake Forest
18-yard line. But Lake
Forest’s defense stepped
up and stopped Kaneland
on a fourth down, giving
up nothing.
“We knew if we wanted
to keep the momentum that
we had going, we would
need to stop them after
the turnover,” Scheidler
said. “We got exactly what
we needed. We stopped
them and didn’t let up any
points. That was huge for
our confidence the rest of
the game.”
The Scouts then took the
ball 81 yards and scored
on a four-yard score from
Mac Uihlein, increasing
the advantage to 21-3 with
7:30 left in the third.
Scheidler’s interception
shut down another Kaneland
drive as the pick occurred
on fourth and nine
at the Scouts’ 31. Once
again Lake Forest went 80
yards capped off on Uihlein’s
three-yard touchdown.
The defense stepped up
one more time as Knights
receiver Max Gagne
looked like he would score
on a long pass. But Jake
Milliman came out of nowhere
and knocked the
ball out and Lake Forest
recovered in the end zone.
“Jake was watching videos
of guys punching the
ball out,” Scheidler said.
“We really prepare for
that. We work on punching
the ball out. It’s something
I think that’s a strength on
our defense. Both Jake and
I are sophomore corners
and it’s pretty cool having
the game that we had and
getting the type of experience
that we’ve gotten.”
Lake Forest coach Chuck
Spagnoli also said making
those kinds of plays are a
focus in practice.
“Those type of turnovers
we forced are not by accident,”
Spagnoli said. “We
emphasize those plays in
practice. They’re effort
plays that we made.”
Once again the Scouts
followed up a big defensive
stand by going 80
yards capped off on Uihlein’s
two-yard touchdown
run for a 35-3 lead
with 6:20 left in the game.
Kaneland got into the
end zone on a 69-yard

quarterback Joe Smith to

It was just as much a
complete game for the offense
as the defense as
Hoskins led the way, rushing
for 141 yards and passing
for 130 yards. Uihlein
totaled 50 rushing yards,
and Jahari Scott ran hard
for the Scouts as well.

• Willowbrook (10-1) at Lake Zurich (8-3)
• GLenwood (11-0) at Providence Catholic (8-3)
• Batavia (9-2) at Nazareth (11-0)
Competing in the Class
3A state meet on Saturday,
Nov. 9, at Detweiller
Park in Peoria, Lake Forest
junior Skyler Kreunen
finished the season strong
by placing 95th out of 210
runners.
Kreunen’s time of
18:19.08 was 25th best
among juniors. Considering
this was only
Kreunen’s second year
running cross-country,
it’s an impressive accomplishment.
“It was a really good
race, I think it’s one she’ll
get some really good experience
from,” Scouts
coach Steve Clegg said.
“It’s one of those things
where you get to the state
meet and then you see
what it’s like. It’s a big
event, it’s a big production.
You use that experience
to fuel your desire
to get back there next
year. The second one is
easier, but you can’t have
a second one until you go
through the first one.”
By finishing 11th individually
in the Hoffman
Estates sectional the week
prior, Kreunen just qualified
for the state meet.
According to Clegg, the
junior has improved by
about two minutes from
her best time as a sophomore.
Kreunen has continued
to improve her times all
season, something that
bodes well for her crosscountry
and track future.
“[She] had a great summer,
really worked hard
over the summer,” Clegg
said. “This entire season
she’s just been chopping
30 seconds off it seems
