Rebuilding a memory 

Park district opens, 

dedicates new Liza 

MacLeod Gazebo 

Alexandra Greenwald 

Freelance Reporter 

Friday afternoon, Nov. 

25, was cold and gray, but 

the weather didn’t deter a 

large crowd from gathering 

to celebrate the grand 

re-opening of Henry J. 

Kalk Park and dedication 

of the new Liza MacLeod 

Gazebo. 

The original Liza’s Gazebo 

was built 25 years ago 

to commemorate the life 

of Liza Bates MacLeod, 

an 11-year-old Glencoe 

resident who died of leukemia 

in 1989. When that 

structure fell into disrepair, 

The Glencoe Park District 

sought to create a new gazebo 

that continued to honor 

its namesake. 

“When we were informed 

that the old gazebo 

was past its useful life, it 

was important to me that 

whatever we did, we did it 

right,” Glencoe Park Board 

Commissioner Andre Lerman 

told the crowd. 

The dedication and grand 

opening was planned to 

coincide with what would 

have been Liza’s 20th 

high school reunion. Her 

parents, siblings, and several 

family members and 

friends were present for the 

dedication ceremony. 

The new gazebo features 

a custom design and steel 

structure that Lerman said 

Donna MacLeod cuts the ribbon during the reopening 

ceremony for the reconstructed Liza MacLeod Gazebo 

(named in honor of her late daughter) Friday afternoon, 

Nov. 25, at Kalk Park in Glencoe. Photos by Rhonda 

Holcomb/22nd Century Media 

is designed to last for at 

least 25 years. Updates to 

Kalk Park include a new 

walking path that connects 

to the Green Bay Trail, 

ADA accessibility to the 

gazebo and picnic tables, 

a bench swing and new 

drinking fountains. 

A time capsule that had 

been buried in the original 

gazebo is also encased in 

the new structure. 

Park district staff added 

a new letter to the capsule 

to explain the intentions behind 

its construction. 

“To (Liza’s mother) 

Donna and all the friends 

and family members here 

today, please know that the 

Glencoe Park District is 

proud to dedicate this new 

gazebo in Liza’s memory,” 

Commissioner Seth Palatnik 

said at the ceremony. 

“Liza touched the hearts of 

so many, and we are proud 

that the new gazebo will 

continue to be a symbol of 

kindness, love and goodness 

for the Glencoe community.” 

The ceremony ended 

with a rendition of “One 

Moment In Time” by Whitney 

Houston, the same 

song that closed the original 

gazebo’s dedication. 

Liza’s mother, Donna MacLeod, 

cut the ribbon to officially 

open the structure. 

In addition to the dedication 

ceremony, park district 

employees provided a 

variety of family-friendly 

activities, including a hay 

bale maze, face painting, 

pony rides and a petting 

zoo. The Empty Pockets 

provided musical entertainment. 

“It’s hard to believe that 

James West, 5, of 

Glencoe, peeks around 

the corner of the hay 

maze set up Friday in Kalk 

Park. 

this new group of Glencoe 

Park District staff and commissioners 

who never even 

knew Liza or us took such 

beautiful care of honoring 

Liza’s memory,” MacLeod 

said to the crowd. 

“It has been so gratifying 

over the years to watch all 

that has occurred here and 

now we know that enjoyment 

will continue for another 

Glencoe generation.”

Fighting with confidence using ancient techniques 

Kung fu gives 

Glencoe’s Ashman 

sense of self 

Fouad Egbaria, Editor 

The fight lasted only 45 

seconds, but it was the culmination 

of a year’s worth 

of work. 

Glencoe’s Thomas 

“Sunny” Ashman, 18, 

competed in his first United 

Combat League fight on 

Oct. 26, winning his bout 

against 21-year-old John 

Hobson by submission. 

But his path to victory 

didn’t begin that day — it 

started more than a year 

ago, when he decided to 

begin training at Kung Fu 

Power in Deerfield after 

looking at a number of 

martial arts schools in the 

area. 

“This is literal superhuman-level 

stuff,” said Ashman, 

who is taking a gap 

year after graduating from 

New Trier High School in 

May. “Since then I’ve been 

pretty hooked on it. I find 

that the more I do it, the 

more I want to do it.” 

Growing up, Ashman 

practiced karate, and 

struggled with bullying 

and self-esteem issues, 

he said. Studying ancient 

systems of combat makes 

him feel like he’s “part of 

something now.” 

“Being a part of something 

is so much more important 

than just trying to 

become stronger,” he said. 

Training in the art of 

kung fu has also helped his 

self-esteem. 

“I have a lot of friends 

with self-esteem issues, 

and they ask me how I deal 

with mine ... it’s all exercise, 

kung fu, the mentality, 

the certainty, the relaxation,” 

he said. “There’s 

almost an answer for everything 

in here. Everything 

makes sense, too.” 

Ashman started training 

with sifu (the Chinese 

word for “teacher”) 

Richard Baron, owner of 

Kung Fu Power, Oct. 14, 

2015. From there, he hit 

the ground running, engaging 

in a rigorous training 

schedule, a total of 19 

weeks of boot camp-style 

training leading up to his 

October bout. 

Once the bell rang, Ashman 

shed his first-fight jitters 

and remembered his 

training. 

Ashman failed to connect 

on his first two punches, 

but rebounded, using 

his shuffle move. 

“It’s from a style of kung 

fu called splashing hands 

kung fu,” Baron said. “It’s 

an ancient Chinese kung fu 

system, it’s a Shaolin system.” 

When the fight was 

over, Ashman said his first 

thought was if his opponent 

was OK — and then 

he felt happiness. 

“I really like that feeling 

of people were proud 

of me for doing something 

that I had wanted to do,” 

he said. 

Other milestones in his 

life, like his bar mitzvah 

when he was 13 or graduating 

from New Trier, were 

expected, he said. 

“Everyone graduates 

from high school, everyone 

in Glencoe who is a 

Jewish boy has their bar 

mitzvah,” he said. “So it 

was like this [fight] was 

something that was actually 

personally what I 

wanted to do, and people

were proud of me for it. 

It just felt right and it was 

the first time I had ever felt 

that way in 18 years of living.” 

Ashman said he plans 

on continuing to train until 

he doesn’t feel like doing 

it anymore. And while he’s 

still not sure what the future 

holds, he learned lessons 

that apply to life, in 

general. 

“I was getting hit and 

I was just like ‘I have to 

keep going, no matter what 

happens,’” Ashman said 

of his fight. “I just need 

to keep moving. I felt the 

pressure of the room but I 

had this feeling that there 

were kung fu gods almost 

circled around the fence, 

watching to see what I’d 

do. That’s definitely something 

that pushed me forward. 

I felt that extra life 

force there.”

During the holiday season, 

the tradition of sending 

and receiving cards 

goes back nearly 200 

years. 

The first Christmas 

cards were commissioned 

by Sir Henry Cole and illustrated 

by John Callcott 

Horsley in London on 

May 1, 1843. It featured a 

drawing of a family sitting 

around a dinner table, raising 

their drinks to the receiver 

of the card and simply 

wishing them a “Merry 

Christmas and a Happy 

New Year.” 

In some ways, holiday 

cards have come a long 

way since then, but the 

spirit behind the original 

idea has never changed. 

Here at The Glencoe Anchor, 

we also have traditions, 

and we wouldn’t be 

doing our part if we didn’t 

get in on the festive cheer. 

In that spirit, it’s time for 

Faiths come together for annual 

Glencoe Thanksgiving service 

Alexandra Greenwald 


Songs and stories — 

but no sermons — rang 

through the sanctuary at 

St. Elisabeth’s Episcopal 

Church Sunday evening, 

Nov. 20, for Glencoe’s annual 

interfaith Thanksgiving 

service. 

The decades-old tradition 

is hosted annually 

by the Glencoe Interfaith 

Clergy Association in one 

of the member worship 

spaces. 

“In our current world 

that is so divisive, to me 

it’s a miracle that you can 

get all these congregations 

in one room,” the 

Rev. Daphne Cody, of 

St. Elisabeth’s, said. “We 

want to keep the miracle 

going.” 

“I think it’s one of the 

most beautiful things we 

can do,” said Carol Farber, 

of Chicago, about 

interfaith services after 

the Annual Holiday Greeting 

Card Contest. We’ll 

be accepting submissions 

of holiday cards through 

Christmas Day on Saturday, 

Dec. 25. Entries will 

then be evaluated by the 

editorial team and winners 

will be selected, notified 

and handed grand prizes 

from local retailers. 

We’ll be checking our 

mailing list (more than 

twice) this holiday season 

to collect holiday cards 

from readers in Glencoe. 

There are only a few 

rules: 

1. One entry per family 

Sunday’s event. This was 

Farber’s first time attending 

the Thanksgiving service 

in Glencoe. 

This is the second year 

the service has used personal 

stories in place 

of traditional sermons. 

Speakers from six Interfaith 

Clergy Association 

congregations told stories 

about gratitude. 

“Stories are the primary 

vehicle for the three Abrahamic 

faiths,” said the 

Rev. Rebecca Anderson, 

of Gilead Church and Earshot 

Stories, who helped 

the speakers develop their 

stories. 

Anderson said she 

presented the speakers 

with the prompt to 

discuss an entry from 

their life’s acknowledgement 

page. Speakers 

shared stories that expressed 

gratitude toward 

rabbis, friends, parents, 

God, and Nepalese Sherpas 

between songs chosen 

and directed by Dillon 

Shipman and Alan 

Wellman. 

“As an interfaith service, 

we look to honor 

an image of God that we 

can all celebrate,” Shipman 

said. “It is truly a 

wonderful thing to get all 

these voices together to 

sing and to give thanks 

to God for all that we’re 

2. Card must be from

holiday card” to 

your wish list.

Jean Finke, of Glencoe, 

said that she was

“I look forward to 

this every year,” Finke 

said. “This is what 

it’s all about. This is 

community.”



THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Fifth Third Bank in 

Northbrook robbed by man 

suspected in Zion heist 

A man reportedly robbed 

Fifth Third Bank in the 

early afternoon of Nov. 21. 

Northbrook police received 

a call about a bank 

robbery at 12:46 p.m. from 

security at the bank, 240 

Skokie Blvd. 

A man allegedly walked 

up to the counter, said he 

had a weapon and demanded 

cash. He then fled 

on foot. The man did not 

show a weapon during the 

incident. 

A Lake County canine 

unit pursued the man, 

who was last seen running 

southbound behind the 

building near the railroad 

tracks, but could not locate 

him. 

Bank employees described 

the suspect as 

black, standing 6-foot-2, 

with a thin build and wearing 

a North Face jacket, 

green knit hat and black 

jeans. 

In its own release, the 

FBI said the man may 

stand between 5-foot-8 

and 6 feet tall. The FBI did 

not release the amount stolen 

in the robbery. 

Authorities believe the 

suspect is also responsible 

for a PNC Bank robbery 

approximately two hours 

earlier in Zion. 

A reward is being offered 

for information leading 

to the suspect’s arrest. 

To leave a tip, contact 

the FBI Chicago office at 

(312) 421-6700.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Lake Forest City Council 

approves an increase in 

utility charges 

The first reading of an 

ordinance calling for an 

increase in utility bills 

to offset an increase in 

employer pension contributions 

for fiscal year 

2018 was approved by 

a 6-1 vote at the Lake 

Forest City Council’s 

meeting on Monday, 

Nov. 21. 

The fees on residential 

accounts will increase 

$10 per quarter while 

fees on commercial, 

school and multi-family 

residential accounts will 

go up $35 per quarter, 

Elizabeth Holleb, the finance 

director, told the 

board. 

The projected $293,620 

in total annual revenue 

is expected to offset the 

combined increase of 

$254,976 in Police and 

Fire Department pension 

contributions by the city. 

“I’m not going to vote 

for this until we have a 

strategy,” said Alderman 

Jack Rosenberg, who cast 

the dissenting vote. 

“There are three stakeholders 

— residents, the 

city and public safety 

employees. We have an 

unspoken policy of taking 

care of those who take 

care of themselves. I want 

a strategy.” 

In the opinion of Alderman 

Tim Newman, 

“the fee goes a long way 

toward defusing the problem.” 

But Alderman Michael 

Adelman stressed there 

are long-term problems. 

“The problem is overwhelming 

and something 

has got to give,” Adelman 

said. 

Police and Fire Department 

pension costs have 

increased from $1.2 million 

per year in 2005 to 

$3.1 million in 2017 and 

are expected to soar to 

$6.7 million by 2027. 

“It’s tremendously 

complicated and complex, 

so complicated we 

can’t come up with a solution 

yet,” Mayor Donald 

Schoenheider said. 

“I do believe in a very 

short time we can find the 

right path to go down.”

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Viccino’s owner arrested 

amid power outage 

While Viccino’s Pizza 

Company in Northfield 

told patrons business was 

closed for a few days due 

to a power outage, it appears 

there is more to the 

story than just a lack of 

power supply to the restaurant. 

The story started at 

5:21 p.m. Nov. 16 when 

Northfield police received 

a report from the 

property manager of the 

plaza where Viccino’s 

is housed, 300 N. Happ 

Road, stating another tenant 

of the plaza reported 

power out at their business 

and what appeared to be a 

damaged power supply 

box. 

The power box appeared 

to be in three pieces 

and a pry bar was found 

on the ground. 

Earlier in the day, 

around 10:30 a.m., 

ComEd turned the power 

off for Viccino’s due to 

not having received payments 

for services. The 

power for other tenants of 

the plaza was not shut off 

by ComEd. 

Following subsequent 

police investigations, 

it was discovered that 

37-year-old Viccino’s 

owner Brett A. Hetrick 

was reported to have been 

seen by several people entering 

the plaza’s electrical 

room situated in an alltenant-accessible 

indoor 

space on the west side of 

the building. 

The following day at 

6:25 p.m., Hetrick turned 

himself in to police. 

Hetrick was charged 

by Northfield police for 

felony criminal damage 

to property, resulting in 

$3,200 in damages to the 

electrical box for repairs 

by ComEd. 

On Nov. 18, he was taken 

to a bond hearing, after 

which he was released.

Associate Supt. to 

succeed retiring 

Supt. Linda Yonke 

Daniel I Dorfman 


After nearly six months 

of searching to find the 

next superintendent to replace 

the retiring 

Linda 

Yonke, the 

New Trier 

High School 

Board 

Education 

chose to hire 

from within 

of 

Sally 

the district, selecting Paul 

Sally, the current associate 

superintendent for curriculum 

and instruction, to 

take over as superintendent 

in 2017. 

The District 203 board 

announced at its Monday, 

Nov. 21 meeting that Sally 

will be promoted to superintendent 

next year, when 

Yonke is scheduled to step 

down after over a decade 

as superintendent. 

“This candidate had 

both the vision in how to 

take New Trier into the 

future and an institutional 

knowledge as to what 

makes New Trier great,” 

school board president 

Greg Robitaille said. 

Robitaille said Sally was 

selected from a group of 

three finalists after a process 

that started in June 

with the assistance of an 

executive search firm. The 

process included 19 focus 

groups, as well as an 

online survey within the 

community. 

A list of 30 applicants 

was winnowed down to a 

final three and the board 

made the selection Nov. 

9, unanimously choosing 

Sally over two other candidates 

who were superintendents 

in other districts. 

“Leading a school district 

with such a deep tradition 

of excellence and 

innovation is incredibly 

humbling and incredibly 

exciting,” Sally said. 

New Trier spokeswoman 

Nicole Dizon said that 

Sally will have a $230,000 

base salary under a threeyear 

contract. 

Sally attended elementary 

school in Chicago’s 

Hyde Park neighborhood 

and went to middle school 

and high school in Evanston, 

according to Dizon. 

He earned a bachelor’s degree 

in applied mathematics 

from Yale University, 

followed up by a master’s 

degree in computer science 

from Northwestern 

University on his way to 

receiving a doctorate in 

educational leadership 

from National Louis University, 

according to a 

school release. 

After a seven-year run in 

the world of software development, 

Sally switched 

careers and moved into education. 

He came to New 

Trier in 1994 as a mathematics 

faculty member 

and spent four years as the 

Northfield campus coordinator 

for the mathematics 

department. 

In 2009, Sally was promoted 

to assistant superintendent. 

Five years later, 

he moved up to his current 

role of associate superintendent, 

where his responsibilities 

have included 

faculty supervision and 

evaluation, professional 

development, testing, and 

curricular initiatives. 

Yonke supported the decision 

of Sally’s selection, 

which will make him the 

sixth superintendent in the 

history of New Trier. 

“I appreciate the fact 

that you aren’t afraid to argue 

with me,” Yonke said 

to Sally. “That is important 

as you need to surround 

yourself with people who 

will disagree and push.” 

Yonke, who, according 

to Robitaille, postponed 

retirement twice, will 

serve as superintendent 

through the end of June 

2017. Sally is scheduled to 

take on his new responsibilities 

July 1, 2017. 

When Sally assumes 

the superintendent role, he 

will not have to deal with 

two major items that had 

been in front of the school. 

First, the school board 

and the teacher’s union 

agreed on a new contract 

earlier this year. Second, 

the school’s massive Winnetka 

campus renovation 

is slated to be mostly completed 

by next summer. 

Sally said that over the 

next few months during 

the transition period he 

wants to meet with many 

groups affiliated with New 

Trier, including staff, students, 

parents and representatives 

of the schools 

that send children into the 

high school. 

As for his goals in office, 

he stated the importance 

of “educating the 

whole child.” 

“I think that is something 

we need to keep 

focusing on, their socialemotional 

health as well as 

their academic learning,” 

Sally said.

2017 elections in the village. 

All of the village’s 

municipal bodies have 

elections on the docket: 

Village, Library, Park and 

D35 boards. The New 

Trier Caucus also released 

its own slate of candidates, 

too. 

Where do you come 

in? Other than being a 

dutiful, engaged citizen, 

in general, you’ll have the 

chance to meet the slated 

candidates at the biennial 

Town Meeting. This year, 

the meeting will be held at 

7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 

Glencoe Central School’s 

Young Auditorium. 

If you’ve ever wondered 

who your local 

government officials are, 

or even those running for 

positions set to be open, 

this is your chance to say 

hello. 

Additionally, the president 

of each board will 

provide an update on his 

or her board, and outgoing 

board members will 

be recognized for their 

service to the village. 

Of course, the candidates 

presented are just 

the candidates slated 

through the Caucus process. 

While I haven’t 

seen it here in Glencoe 

since I began covering it 

two years ago, independent 

candidates are also 

eligible to run. In fact, in 

this past spring’s Winnetka 

Village Council 

elections, six candidates 

ran for three open trustee 

positions: three independents 

and three Caucusslated 

candidates. So, if 

you’re a Glencoe resident 

who wasn’t slated by the 

caucus and is planning on 

running, we’d love to hear 

from you, too (as would 

the rest of the community). 

In any case, as you begin 

to shake off the post- 

Thanksgiving food coma, 

remember to stay involved 

and informed about the 

people looking to join the 

local government.

City Girl Confessions 

A child’s mess is the masterpiece 

Kelly Anderson 

Contributing Columnist 

Glencoe resident 

I’ve entered a new 

hobby with my kids 

that I didn’t see coming: 

baking. Let me preface 

by disclosing that my 

baking interests are pretty 

pathetic … usually a box 

mix of brownies or a 

random batch of cupcakes 

on a rainy day is what I’m 

good for. 

But every parent knows 

that when your child perks 

up and shows interest in a 

hobby, it will very quickly 

become your hobby, too. 

I found it pretty darn 

adorable that my son 

dragged a little red chair 

to the kitchen counter and 

beamed when he was able 

to bake on my level. So we 

dove right in with flour flying 

and baking cups askew. 

I learned very quickly 

that his exploration would 

be messy. I let him pour 

ingredients into measuring 

cups and wield a whisk. 

Batter mixes dripped on 

the counter and puddled 

on the floor. Dirty dishes 

stacked up, as did a pile of 

kitchen towels (I had never 

mopped up so many disasters 

in such a short time). 

I learned very quickly 

that my baking methods 

were rather impatient. Too 

often I was focused on 

timing things just right, 

tidying as we moved 

through a recipe, and 

micro-managing my little 

sous chef’s efforts. My 

stress level rose as did my 

voice octaves — “That’s 

hot! Careful with the glass 

bowl! WAY too many 

chocolate chips!,” I’d say. 

But for any kitchen 

to succeed, there must 

be a coming together of 

the minds and an effort 

straight from the heart. 

Cooking and baking can 

be high intensity. We use 

energy, fire, knives, and 

our very own hands to 

create beautiful, edible 

results. In order to make 

a masterpiece, I had to

DEAR FRIENDS: 

As the Holidays are approaching, I have been 

reflecting on this past year when we have witnessed 

some of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time. 

We have seen an unprecedented refugee crisis, 

unending wars around the globe, and a hurricane 

that devastated our southeast states and neighboring 

countries. Some of our fellow human beings have lost 

everything – yet need to find the strength to carry on. 

I have been blessed with a wonderful family and a 

safe community. I am also fortunate to own a 

business that allows me to give back – and I’m 

honored to do so. 

I would like to invite you to participate with us in 

donating to the charity of your choice to help those 

around the world. We at Pascal pour Elle are giving 

a percentage of our proceeds to help those in 

desperate need. Please visit our website to help 

choose the cause you wish to support. 

From our Pascal pour Elle family to yours, have a 

wonderful, and happy Holiday season, and a new 

year in which we all do our part to make the 

world a better place.

Vernon Avenue restaurant 

rebrands, to open as Valor 

Formerly Cibo, 

District, to return 

as Valor this month 


The partners behind 

Vernon Avenue’s newest 

restaurant are banking on 

the old saying that the third 

time’s a charm. 

The restaurant at 667 

Vernon Ave. — which first 

opened as Cibo Trattoria in 

June 2015 then rebranded 

as District in April — is 

once again changing things 

up. This time, the restaurant 

will reopen as Valor 

this month with an entirely 

new staff, including new 

Executive Chef Benoit 

Fliou, a native of Paris. The 

restaurant also added one 

new partner to its ownership 

group, Glencoe resident 

Richard Salberg (joining 

previous partners Rick 

Raschillo and Steven Santiccioli). 

With the shift from Cibo 

to District and the attempt 

to become a more familyfriendly 

establishment, 

Raschillo said the restaurant 

lost the ability to be a 

venue for adults looking for 

a quiet meal out. 

“It just took all the 

people who wanted to go 

somewhere on a Thursday, 

Friday, Saturday night and 

draw from other towns — 

it pretty much ended that,” 

Raschillo said. “Every 

town has a place like District. 

... We weren’t filling 

any void. We need to appeal 

to the theater district 

type of people and people 

that are looking to go out.” 

Unlike District, Raschillo 

said Valor won’t be “kidfriendly,” 

instead catering 

to the adult crowd. 

At the Glencoe Village 

Board’s Nov. 17 meeting 

— during which the liquor 

license application for Valor 

was approved — Santiccioli 

explained why the 

ownership group wanted to 

give it one more shot. 

“We just want Glencoe 

to be better,” he said to the 

board. “We’re obviously 

not in this for the money. 

We know we need another 

restaurant downtown. And 

that’s why we keep on trying.” 

An opening date hasn’t 

been set yet for Valor, but 

Raschillo said they expect 

to open on a Tuesday this 

month, serving what he 

described as an “American 

eclectic” menu. To start, 

the restaurant will only be 

open for dinner, and will 

be closed on Sundays and 

Mondays, Raschillo said. 

Among other wholesale 

changes, Raschillo will 

no longer be the executive 

chef, instead serving as general 

manager while Fliou 

takes the lead in the kitchen. 

Fliou, who immigrated 

to the United States from 

Paris, has three decades of 

experience in the kitchen, 

predominantly in Paris. He 

started training in southwestern 

France’s Basque 

country, and later worked 

on the French island of 

Belle Île, where he said he 

learned “almost everything 

that you can do with seafood.” 

Later, he trained under 

Stéphane Jégo at Paris’ 

L’ami Jean. 

After working as a cook 

from 1995-2006, he eventually 

worked his way up 

to several chef positions in 

Paris. But three years ago, 

One item on the menu 

at Valor, 667 Vernon 

Ave., will be a dish 

featuring steamed winter 

vegetables, potatoes, 

carrots, Penn Cove 

mussels, saffron, cream 

seafood broth and chervil. 

Photo Submitted 

he decided to immigrate to 

the United States. Working 

his way through the 

immigration process, he 

eventually found an opportunity 

as a chef consultant 

for Martial Noguier. Noguier 

served as the executive 

chef at the Pump Room, the 

Ambassador East Hotel and 

one sixtyblue, co-owned by 

Michael Jordan’s restaurant 

group, among other stops. 

Fliou isn’t moving too 

far, as he comes to Valor 

from Abigail’s American 

Bistro in Highland Park. 

While he is well-versed in 

the techniques of French 

cooking, the restaurant 

won’t be a strictly French 

restaurant at all. In fact, 

Fliou said he enjoys working 

with a variety of styles.

Margery Kreeger Fridstein 

Margery Kreeger Fridstein, formerly 

of Glencoe, passed away 

peacefully Nov. 4 in Highlands 

Ranch, Colo. Margery was preceded 

in death by her husband of 64 years, 

Robert B. Fridstein. 

Margy and Bob married in Chicago 

and raised their four children in 

Glencoe. With children at home, she 

served on the executive board of the 

League of Woman Voters, PTA and 

Glencoe planning commission. In 

the mid-1960s the woman’s movement 

had a great influence on her. 

In 1968, she received her graduate 

degree in counseling from Northwestern 

University followed by 

specialized training in child therapy 

at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. 

Margy was the Director of 

Mental Health Education and Psychotherapist 

at the Josselyn Center 

in Northfield Ilinois. She continued 

in private psychotherapy practice 

in Illinois and Colorado for over 40 

years, retiring in 2012. She balanced 

her studies and career with being a 

devoted mother, wife and friend. 

In 1988 she and Bob moved to 

Snowmass Village, Colo. In addition 

to her psychotherapy practice, 

Margy was a consultant to schools 

and agencies in the Roaring Fork 

Valley, and a volunteer for Hospice, 

the Aspen Valley Hospital and Aspen 

Camp for the Deaf. She wrote 

weekly advice columns in the Aspen 

Times and the Snowmass Sun. Her 

first book, “Grandparenting: A Survival 

Guide” was published in 1997. 

She and Bob enjoyed their beautiful 

mountain surroundings, becoming 

avid skiers and outdoor enthusiasts 

and hosted many wonderful gatherings 

of family and friends. 

In 2008 they moved to the Vi at 

Highlands Ranch which would be 

their “last stop.” Margy continued 

her psychotherapy practice, volunteered 

in the public schools and 

assumed the leadership role as Vi’s 

elected President of the Residents 

Advisory Committee. 

In 2010 she was a Denver Post 

Colorado Voices columnist. Following 

that, she wrote a monthly online 

column, “The Last Stop with Margy 

Fridstein” chronicling her experience 

living in her CCRC in SeniorHomes.com. 

These articles are 

the basis for her second book. 

As a writer and retired psychotherapist, 

Margy focused her later 

years in providing counsel and guidance 

to helping others adapt to the 

new 21st century experience of aging, 

health and dying. She was a role 

model in her own life by directly 

addressing the important issues surrounding 

aging and death. 

Margy was the devoted mother 

of four children: Peggy (Raymond) 

Gordon, Thomas (Darlene) Fridstein, 

Kathy Fridstein (Mark Manley) 

and Nancy Fridstein (Richard 

Tallian) and the loving grandmother 

to 11 grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren. 

Her warmth, intelligence 

and curiosity have also 

inspired her extended family including 

nieces, nephews, sister and sister/brothers-in-laws. 

A Remembrance Service will be 

held at 2 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Vi of 

Highlands Ranch in Colorado. Memorial 

contributions may be made 

in Margy’s name to Youth Zone; 

youthzone.com: The Denver Hospice;

Center; josselyn.org. 

Maureen Lee Bogle 

Longtime Chicago resident and 

former Central School instructor of 

23 years Maureen Lee “Moby” Bogle, 

the last surviving member of her 

family’s generation, passed away 

peacefully Nov. 17 after a short illness. 

Bogle was born in 1924 in a 

log cabin near Pine Creek, Idaho, at 

the family’s sawmill. She grew up in 

Washington and attended school in 

Spokane. Later, she enrolled at the 

University of California and the Otis 

Art Institute in Los Angeles, finally 

completing both her BAE and MAE 

degrees at the Art Institute of Chicago 

in 1948. Moby was an exceptional 

scientific illustrator of natural 

history subjects and later developed 

into an accomplished enamelist, 

while at the same time employed as 

an art instructor at Glencoe’s Central 

School for 23 years. She will be 

greatly missed by both family and 

colleagues who experienced firsthand 

her enthusiasm for both travel 

and the arts.

Fliou said the job is all

Doing what’s fair 

Love Fur Dogs 

offers hand-crafted 

fair trade dog 

sweaters 


The world is often not 

a fair place — but that 

doesn’t mean people don’t 

try every day to make it so. 

Love Fur Dogs in Glencoe, 

69 Green Bay Road, 

is doing its part to help. 

Owner Jennifer Bishop- 

Jenkins and longtime 

friend Vincent Donoghue 

— they formerly taught 

together at Queen of Peace 

High School in Chicago 

in the early 1990s — have 

worked together to offer 

fair trade dog sweaters at 

the store, hand-crafted by 

Ecuadorian artisans Luis 

and Maria Maldonado. 

Fair trade business practices 

aim to provide fair 

prices for producers in developing 

countries — and 

Donoghue, like many others, 

is passionate about it. 

He retired two years ago 

and now lives full-time in 

rural Cotacachi, Ecuador, 

(just over 60 miles north 

of the capital, Quito). He 

volunteered in Ecuador 

with his wife, Susanne, on 

behalf of a fair trade organization 

called Minga Fair 

Trade Imports, based in 

Lake Geneva, Wis. In the 

indigenous South American 

language of Quechua, 

Minga means “communal 

work day.” 

In addition, Donoghue 

and his wife started their 

own fair trade business 

five years ago, Gracias Fair 

Trade. In total, the Donoghues 

have been active in 

fair trade for 20 years, he 

said. Susanne Donoghue 

also previously managed 

Ten Thousand Villages in 

Evanston for 13 years, a 

store that sells fair trade 

products from around the 

world. 

“Economic justice has 

always been important for 

us,” he said, “and the global 

perspective.” 

And after meeting the 

Maldonados in Ecuador 

and hearing their story, 

Donoghue teamed up with 

Bishop-Jenkins to bring 

some of their colorful, 

hand-crafted dog sweaters 

to be sold at Love Fur 

Dogs. The sweaters are 

available in eight different 

designs and four sizes, 

ranging from $17.99 for 

an extra small to $29.99 

for a large. The sweaters, 

made with a wool-cotton 

blend, will be available at 

Love Fur Dogs until Dec. 

14, Donoghue and Bishop- 

Jenkins said. 

The Maldonados have 

been making dog sweaters 

for 18 years, but have 

struggled at times, often 

due to exploitative practices 

by business partners, 

who sometimes sent payments 

late (or even not at 

all), Donoghue said. 

Donoghue and his wife 

visited the Maldonados in 

their humble dwelling, just 

outside of the market town 

of Otovalo, last year. Maria 

Maldonado set out four 

plastic stools, Donoghue 

said, as their home did not 

have much furniture. 

“They were very discouraged, 

very despondent, 

very sad,” Donoghue 

said. “You could really 

see it in their faces as they 

were telling their story, 

[of] the trials and tribulations 

of trying to do business 

and being exploited.” 

Luis Maldonado related 

that he wakes up at 4 a.m. 

to begin his work day, and 

Donoghue commended 

him on his work ethic. The 

reality of the matter, however, 

was not so idealistic. 

“‘It’s about survival,’” 

Donoghue said Luis Maldonado 

told him. “That 

really, really struck me in 

terms of ... whoa, this is essential 

for them in terms of 

their livelihood.” 

About a year ago, Donoghue 

began working with 

the Maldonados to bring 

their products to the market 

at a fair price. 

“There’s a desire to enter 

into a long-term relationship 

with the artisan, 

something that’s sustainable 

over years and years,” 

Donoghue said. “So then 

they can rely on the income 

that’s coming in 

and provide for their family.” 

A couple of months ago, 

Donoghue met the Maldonados 

and told them 

he’d ask if Bishop-Jenkins 

would be interested in 

promoting the sweaters at 

Love Fur Dogs. The decision 

wasn’t a difficult one 

for her — just like running 

Love Fur Dogs is an “act 

of love,” she said Donoghue’s 

fair-trade advocacy 

is his own act of love. 

“The thing that I love 

the most about this is the 

way it lifts up people’s 

economies,” Bishop-Jenkins 

said. “They are able to 

make a living wage instead 

of the corporate slave wages 

that a lot of third-world 

workers get. 

“When they are able to 

sell their crafts at a fairtrade 

price and they can 

actually make a living — a 

rising tide lifts all boats. 

When they do better, then 

they can buy more in their 

villages and contribute 

more to their local economies. 

And then their local 

economies don’t need so 

much help and they’re not 

so unstable and they’re not

in crisis. This is a way to 

make for world peace.” 

The Maldonados come 

up with new designs regularly, 

and everything is 

created by hand. 

“We’re excited about 

their designs and the quality 

of their work,” Donoghue 

said. “They’re excited 

about the income that’s 

coming in.” 

He added that he’s been 

happy to see the transformation 

in the Maldonados’ 

lives in the last year. 

“They’re wonderful 

people,” he said. “Extremely 

gifted, extremely 

talented, hard-working.

Ferentino’s Pizzeria brings original Italian recipes to Lake Forest 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

Moving to America and 

owning a restaurant has always 

been a dream of Piero 

D’Ascenzi. 

Almost 30 years ago 

D’Ascenzi opened Ferentino’s 

Pizzeria’s east location 

at 842 N. Western Ave. in 

Lake Forest. The restaurant 

also has a location at 825 

S. Waukegan Road in Lake 

Forest. 

D’Ascenzi grew up in 

Ferentino, Italy, and had a 

dream to move to America 

and open a restaurant. In 

Italy, he worked for various 

restaurants and when 

he moved to America in 

1974 he continued to work 

in restaurants to learn more 

about the American restaurant 

industry. 

“It was hard starting [a 

restaurant] even back then 

so [Piero] worked various 

jobs to earn money and at 

the same time (he) worked 

at restaurants at night so 

he could learn more of 

the trade and the American 

traditions,” Aurelio 

D’Ascenzi, general manager 

of Ferentino’s Pizzeria 

and Piero’s son, said. 

Three years later in 1977, 

Piero D’Ascenzi opened 

his first restaurant in Skokie. 

He is now the owner of 

the two Ferentino’s locations 

and is also the owner 

of Marco Roma’s Pizzeria 

in Winnetka. 

Piero D’Ascenzi has 

shared his passion for food 

and the restaurant business 

with his family for many 

generations. 

“We have been through 

many generations of kids 

[and have watched them 

grow up] and now they are 

off to college or married 

with kids,” he said. “It is 

like a big chain, the chain 

The Greek salad ($8.50) is a fresh starter option loaded with feta cheese, tomatoes, 

onions, peppers, cucumbers and olives. Photos by Sarah Haider/22nd Century Media 

keeps going.” 

Ferentino’s has been 

a part of the Lake Forest 

community for almost 30 

years now and has become 

a community favorite, according 

to D’Ascenzi. 

“(We have had some of 

the) same customers all 

these years,” he said. 

One thing that keeps 

customers coming back 

year after year are the family 

recipes, some of which 

Piero D’Ascenzi created 

himself. 

“Everything is traditional, 

it is made from scratch 

and homemade,” Aurelio 

D’Ascenzi said. “Our recipes 

are our own, we are not 

copying anything.” 

Their deep dish pizza 

is their specialty, Aurelio 

D’Ascenzi said. 

“The quality of cheese 

and the other ingredients 

we use, the way we proof 

our dough and we let it rise 

and forms itself the way a 

deep dish pizza should be,” 

he said. “We are not hurrying 

anything. It has a good 

crunch, it holds well.”

Media editors stopped by 

Ferentino’s east location 

to try some of the food and 

get to know the D’Ascenzi 

family. 

We were eager to try the 

famous deep dish pizza, 

sampling the spinach and 

cheese Chicago-style deep 

dish ($20 for 12-inch pizza). 

The pizza came out 

steaming hot, with melted 

cheese mixed with sauce 

and spinach. The crust was 

stiff enough to hold the 

pizza together, but not too 

crunchy or hard to bite into. 

Ferentino’s also offers 

thin crust, pan crust, Roma 

crust and stuffed crust pizza. 

We also tried the thin 

crust supremo pizza loaded 

with sausage, pepperoni, 

green peppers, mushrooms, 

onions black olives and 

fresh garlic ($23 for a 14- 

inch pizza). The toppings 

were cut thinly so they 

were easy to break up with 

each bite and created a flavorful 

pizza that is sure to 

fill you up with all of its 

toppings. 

Another one of Ferentino’s 

most popular items 

is the panino, created by 

Piero. 

We tasted their Italian 

deli panino sandwich with 

layers of ham, salami, red 

onions, lettuce, tomatoes 

and cheese set atop a large 

homemade focaccia bread 

($7.50). 

The focaccia bread is 

homemade, creating a simple 

yet tasty combination 

with the meats and veggies, 

taking a simple sandwich 

Ferentino’s popular starter, the antipasto salad ($8.50), 

includes spirals of Italian deli meats and provolone. 

The panino Italian deli sandwich ($7.50) is stacked with 

layers of ham, salami, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes and 

cheese. 

The mostaccioli ($8) is a simple and popular dish made 

with fresh tomato sauce. 

and turning it into something 

unique and filled with 

flavor. 

Ferentino’s also offers 

salads, pastas, burgers, 

pizzas and appetizers. 

They have a large dining 

room for a dine-in option, 

but also offer delivery and 

catering options, which 

drives most of Ferentino’s 

business.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Kristie Kalis 

The New Trier senior is one of only four 

seniors on the team. 

Do you have any superstitions? 

Before a game I always have to eat a 

Nature Valley bar, the original, and drink 

water. 

Is there any music that gets you 

pumped up before a game? 

I have a playlist on Spotify that I listen 

to. It’s got pretty much a little bit of 

everything, but a lot of rap. Pretty much 

anything that gets me hyped. 

Songs or artists you’re 

embarrassed to confess to liking? 

I like to listen to a lot of throwbacks, 

stuff like Hannah Montana throwbacks. 

What’s the best part about being a 

New Trier athlete? 

The best thing is everyone knows 

you’re part of a team here. It just makes 

you feel good when you’re walking 

down the hallway and see your teammates 

and say “Hi” or that people know 

that you’re an athlete or on a certain 

team. They respect you for that. 

If you could play any other sport 

what would it be? 

Gymnastics. It looks so cool and I wish 

I could flip. 

What’s the best coaching advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

Play like it’s your last game. Pretty 

much every coach, even going back to 

my parents when I was starting, has said 

that at one point. 

If you could be any superhero, 

what would it be? 

VARSITY VIEWS 

Superman because then I could fly, 

but if I had a superpower, it’d be mind 

reading. 

If you could live anywhere, where 

would it be? 

Lake Tahoe. You get water, you get 

mountains, you get everything there. 

Where do you see yourself in 10 

years? 

Hopefully just living life and doing my 

dream job. I’d like to do sports management 

or go into physical therapy or 

athletic training. 

Do you have any people you look 

up to in basketball? 

My older sister and my dad. My older 

sister played on varsity the last two years 

so I try to follow in her footsteps and 

then my dad has played basketball his 

whole life and that’s what I want to do.

Boys basketball 

LA eyes big goals this season 

Michael wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 


Bigs to play big role for NT 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

Walk into the Loyola 

Academy boys basketball’s 

team room after a 

game and you see goals 

all over the wall, what the 

team hopes to accomplish 

for every game, as well 

as the season. Some of 

those things include winning 

20 games, defeating 

all of their rivals (Notre 

Dame, New Trier, St. Ignatius) 

and winning all of 

the tournaments in which 

they’ll participate. 

“I think every team has 

goals and ours change 

every year based on our 

team and what we think 

is attainable but we still 

have high expectations 

and we like to surround 

the guys with what we 

think is important to the 

program and the culture 

of the program,” Loyola 

coach Tom Livatino said. 

After a season that saw 

the Ramblers finish 16-15 

and drop a heartbreaker to 

Notre Dame at home in a 

regional final, the team will 

look to improve with a senior-laden, 

but still somewhat 

inexperienced group. 

“We have a lot of seniors 

but other than really 

Ramar Evans, Matt Lynch 

and Julian DeGuzman, 

our guys don’t have a lot 

of experience, so playing 

a lot of guys in a game is 

huge for the development 

of a team,” Livatino said 

after playing 11 different 

players in the team’s 

season-opening win over 

Mather. 

Luckily for the Ramblers, 

they return their 

do-everything leader in 

Evans. The senior, who is 

headed to play his college 

ball at Maryville (Mo.), 

averaged double figures in 

Julian DeGuzman (4) and Kevin Cunningham (3) are 

expected to be key contributors for Loyola this season. 

michael wojtychiw/22nd century media 

scoring last season on his 

way to being a Team 22 

selection. 

One of the players without 

as much experience 

Loyola is looking to step 

up include Kevin Cunningham. 

According to 

the coach, the Ramblers 

have more depth than they 

previously have had. 

Loyola, which doesn’t 

have much size — Matt 

Sechman is the team’s 

tallest player at 6 feet, 

6 inches — will once 

again look to its guard to 

lead the way. In the past, 

the Ramblers have been 

known as a good shooting 

team that likes to slow the 

ball down and play on the 

perimeter. 

“One of our goals is to 

shoot eight threes a game 

and make 40 percent of 

them,” Livatino said. 

“We’ll be a good team 

when we’re able to stretch 

the defense.” 

While that may be true, 

Livatino is looking to 

throw a couple new wrinkles 

in his offense as well. 

“We’re running a little 

bit more, we wanted to 

emphasize that a little 

bit,” Livatino added. “We 

do want to get out and run 

a little bit. We are still 

kind of small and we’d 

like to run and get a shot 

off in 7 seconds but we’ve 

got to shoot the ball better.” 

Loyola started the 

season by co-hosting a 

Thanksgiving tournament 

with New Trier. After 

winning their first two 

games against Mather and 

Lincoln Park, two Chicago 

Public League schools, 

the Ramblers dropped a 

56-54 overtime thriller to 

New Trier and then lost to 

Benet 55-44 in the championship 

game of the tournament. 

For the second year in a 

row, Loyola will participate 

in the Chicago Elite 

Classic Friday, Dec. 2, 

when it faces rival Notre 

Dame at the UIC Pavilion. 

The Ramblers will 

also take part in the War 

on the Shore, a shootout 

hosted this year by Evanston, 

where Loyola will 

face St. Patrick. The Ramblers 

leave Chicago for a 

Christmas tournament in 

Naples, Fla., and will be 

host to some big nonconference 

and conference 

games, including St. Viator, 

St. Joseph, St. Ignatius, 

Fenwick and St. Rita. 

They say you can’t teach 

size. 

For many high school 

teams, having a player that 

stands 6-foot-7 or taller 

is a luxury. But to have 

multiple? That’s something 

some would say is a 

coach’s dream. 

New Trier is blessed to 

have that luxury this year, 

as the Trevians boast three 

players 6-foot-7 or taller: 

6-foot-7 senior Teddy Mc- 

Gregor, 6-foot-8 sophomore 

Spencer Boehm and 

6-foot-9 sophomore Ciaran 

Brayboy. 

“It’s sometimes tough 

to play with multiple bigs 

in the game, because your 

offense isn’t always flowing, 

it’s a little different, so 

we’re trying to get used to 

some matchups where we 

can take advantage of our 

size,” New Trier coach 

Scott Fricke said. 

While the Trevians have 

size, both Brayboy and 

Boehm aren’t the most 

experienced players, so it 

will be a process of bringing 

the two along slowly. 

Boehm is the latest 

and last of a long line of 

Boehms at New Trier, including 

brothers Peter, 

Connor and Jack, and sister 

Jeannie. 

New Trier does have 

some pieces returning 

from last season’s 17-10 

squad that was upset by 

Loyola Academy in the regional 

semifinal. 

Boehm started a good 

portion of his freshman 

year and Dylan Horwitz, 

who the coach sees as 

more of a “six or seventh 

type of guy,” started for 

the Trevians during the 

second half of last season. 

But other than those two, 

Sophomore F/C Spencer Boehm (33) will be a key 

piece in a young but imposing Trevians frontcourt this 

season. michael wojtychiw/22nd century media 

pretty much everyone is 

either a newcomer or a 

player without much experience. 

“Not having a lot of experience 

at the beginning 

of the year might hurt us 

a little bit, because you 

always want a team that’s 

played varsity basketball, 

but hopefully we’ll get that 

experience and be a good 

team.” 

“Early in the season, 

it’s important to get a lot 

of these guys minutes and 

experience on the court,” 

the coach added after his 

team’s 69-30 win over 

Mather Nov. 22. “We’ve 

got to learn how to play 

together as a team but that 

stuff will come.” 

Having that mixture of 

size inside and good guard 

play will allow Fricke to 

throw multiple looks at 

teams throughout the year. 

“I think we can play 

with four guards and one 

big and I think we can play 

with two bigs and three 

guards,” Fricke said. “I 

think we’re going to play 

both of those ways.” 

Among the newcomers, 

Fricke is expecting Brayboy 

to step up, as well as 

point guard Andrew Kirkpatrick, 

who will be replacing 

Tino Malnati, who 

is now a freshman walk-on 

at Northwestern. 

Brayboy, who has been 

hailed by some scouts as 

a player who is a breakout 

candidate this season, has 

gotten off to a nice start 

as he has led the Trevians 

in scoring in two of the 

team’s first four games. 

New Trier went 2-2 at the 

Loyola/New Trier Thanksgiving 

tournament, including 

an exciting 56-54 overtime 

win over Loyola, but 

lost to U-High in the thirdplace 

game. 

Along with the Central 

Suburban League schedule, 

the Trevians will again 

participate in the Proviso 

West Holiday Tournament, 

one of the more prestigious 

tournaments in the 

state. The team will also 

travel to Arizona to play 

in a Christmas tournament 

hosted by Horizon High 

School. 

“Our team really came 

together after that tournament 

in Arizona last year,” 

Fricke said. “We really 

played well after that and 

it brought the team closer 

together because you’re 

spending so much time 

with them, so we’re trying 

it again this year.”

Maine South upsets Loyola in state title game 

NEIL MILBERT 


After experiencing the 

thrill of victory for 30 

straight games, on the cold 

night of Saturday, Nov. 26, 

Loyola Academy experienced 

the agony of defeat. 

“This obviously is a new 

experience for us,” said 

Loyola coach John Holecek 

in the wake of the 

defending champion Ramblers’ 

27-17 loss to Maine 

South in the IHSA Class 

8A State Championship 

game, played in Memorial 

Stadium on the University 

of Illinois campus. 

“Offensively, defensively, 

special teams — we got 

beat. It’s painful but we 

didn’t do enough to win.” 

The 17 points were the 

season-low for Loyola, 

which had eked out a 44- 

43 victory over Maine 

South (11-3) in the second 

game of the regular season 

in the friendly confines of 

Hoerster Field. 

That game wasn’t decided 

until the final minute, 

but in this game the turning 

point came early in the 

fourth quarter. 

The game-changer was 

a 66-yard punt by the 

Hawks’ Sean McNulty 

that equaled the Class 8A 

championship game record 

and put the ball on the 

Loyola 8-yard line with 

the score tied 17-17 early 

in the fourth quarter. On 

the first play from scrimmage, 

Loyola quarterback 

Tommy Herion rushed up 

the middle for an 8-yard 

gain but Jack Pistorius’ 

jarring tackle forced him 

to fumble and Jack Hoffman 

recovered at the Ramblers 

17. 

Immediately seizing 

the opportunity, Maine 

South’s Nick Leongas 

ran a quarterback draw 

and carried the ball to the 

end zone for the winning 

touchdown. 

McNulty kicked his 

third extra point and then, 

with 24 seconds remaining 

in the contest, his second 

field goal of the night put 

Maine South up 10. The 

kick from 18 yards out 

came on a fourth and goal 

situation at the 1-yard line, 

which capped a 12 -play, 

66-yard drive that ate up 

5 minutes, 12 seconds of 

playing time. 

At the outset of the 

game, it appaeared as if 

the teams were going to 

engage in a non-stop offensive 

duel, as they did 

when they met during the 

regular season. 

Maine South took 

the opening kickoff and 

marched 80 yards for a 

touchdown that came on 

Leongas’ 1-yard run but 

the Ramblers immediately 

answered when Kyle Rock 

21 carries, 154 yards) 

broke away for a 56-yard 

touchdown on their fourth 

play from scrimmage. 

But then there was a lull 

in the scoring until Mc- 

Nulty kicked a 25-yard 

field goal late in the second 

quarter. 

Again the Ramblers answered, 

and this time they 

took the lead. Jake Marwede’s 

1-yard run finished 

an 80-yard drive and Patrick 

Kramer kicked the extra 

point, giving Loyola a 

14-10 halftime advantage. 

But after the Ramblers 

went three-and-out to start 

the second half, the Hawks 

reclaimed the momentum 

with a 45-yard scoring 

drive. Luke Hinkamp got 

the touchdown when he 

caught Leongas’ 20-yard

pass just inside the left 

corner of the end zone and 

McNulty provided the extra 

point. 

Late in the third quarter 

the Ramblers drove to the 

Maine South 8, but Herion 

was sacked for a 10-yard 

loss, forcing them to settle 

for Kramer’s 34-yard field 

goal, which tied the score 

17-17 late in the third 

quarter. 

Again, Maine South 

was able to reclaim the 

momentum in short order, 

thanks to McNulty’s 

record-equaling punt, the 

fumble recovery and Leongas’ 

touchdown run. 

“It was heartbreaking,” 

Ramblers defensive back 

Ian Swenson said. “We 

(seniors) hadn’t lost since 

freshman year when we 

were 6-3. Our sophomore 

team went 9-0. 

The last loss for the 

Loyola varsity was at the 

hands of Stevenson in a 

2014 Class 8A secondround 

playoff game. Stevenson 

went on to win the 

state championship, while 

the Ramblers bounced 

back to win three postseason 

games in a row, knocking 

off two Chicago Catholic 

League opponents 

and then downing Curie 

to capture the traditionrich 

Prep Bowl, which pits 

the winner of the Catholic 

League playoffs against 

the Chicago Public League 

playoff winner. 

For Holecek, this was 

the fourth time in six years 

that his team played in the 

8A championship game. 

Prefacing last season’s 

41-0 landslide victory over 

Marist was a 13-10 loss to 

Naperville Central in 2013 

and a 21-17 defeat inflicted 

by Bolingbrook in 2011. 

The championship was 

the fourth for Maine South 

coach Dave Inserra, who 

has led the Hawks since 

2001. Inserra was an assistant 

coach under Phil Hopkins 

when Maine South 

took the state title in 2000 

and he likened that year 

to this year because of the 

New Trier factor. 

“We got beat by New 

Trier in 2000 and they won 

the conference (the Central 

Suburban League South) 

but we came back and won 

the state championship,” 

he reminisced. “That was 

our last loss in the CSL 

until this year. We won 77 

straight CSL games until 

New Trier beat us (27-21 

on Oct. 7). 

“We used that as motivation. 

I wore my 2000 

state championship T-shirt 

to constantly remind our 

players what we did then 

and let them know we 

could do it again.”

It’s no shock that when 

bitter rivals New Trier and 

Loyola Academy met on 

the night before Thanksgiving, 

the thought of turkey 

and stuffing was put 

on hold for a couple of 

hours. 

“We had a great crowd 

tonight and there was some 

great energy,” Loyola 

coach Tom Livatino said. 

However, it was New 

Trier coach Scott Fricke’s 

squad that escaped the Wilmette 

gym with a 56-54 

overtime win over the host 

Ramblers in both teams’ 

last pool play game in the 

Loyola/New Trier Thanksgiving 

Tournament. 

“I’m really proud of 

these guys,” Fricke said. 

“We’re playing some 

young kids and to play in 

this environment. Now, 

there’s a lot of work to be 

done but we played well. 

The thing about tonight 

was we wanted to compete. 

We wanted to win 

and compete and that’s 

what it was.” 

The Ramblers coach, 

meanwhile, lamented his 

team’s struggles. 

“I don’t think I prepared 

our team to face any type 

of zone and that showed 

and we struggled,” Livatino 

said. 

In what one would expect 

from an early-season 

matchup, it was a game of 

runs. 

After the Trevians got 

out to a quick 5-0 start, 

the Ramblers rattled off 

a 13-2 run, aided by two 

big three-point shots from 

junior Kevin Cunningham 

(14 points). The first quarter 

would end with an 18- 

14 advantage for the hosts. 

After a relatively slow 

second quarter, things got 

a little chippy between the 

rivals in the third period. 

Midway through the 

quarter, New Trier junior 

guard Andrew Kirkpatrick 

(11 points, four assists) 

picked up a technical 

foul for taunting a Loyola 

player after Kirkpatrick’s 

basket gave the Trevians a 

32-31 lead. 

“He’s a fiery, competitive 

guy and when you’re 

playing against neighbors 

and kids you know, sometimes 

that happens,” Fricke 

said. “But he learned that 

that can’t happen and that 

can be a potentially huge 

play in the game. In retrospect, 

I’m glad the ref 

called that because he can 

learn from that and not do 

it again.” 

After Kirkpatrick took a 

seat on the bench, Loyola 

rattled off an 11-5 run to 

give the Ramblers a 42-37 

lead after three periods. 

Evans hit two threes in a 

row, including one from 

NBA range right before 

the buzzer sounded to end 

the period. 

Loyola would extend 

the lead to 44-37 before 

the Trevians (2-1) slowly, 

but surely, crawled back 

to tie the game at 44 on a 

three from Joe Akason. 

“For us to be down seven 

or eight late in the third 

quarter and then to take the 

lead and go into overtime 

after missing a few shots to 

win the game and compete 

like that, it was great,” the 

New Trier coach added. 

Down 49-47 with just 

over a minute remaining 

in the game, Loyola’s Matt 

Sechman’s first basket of 

the game tied the game at 

49, forcing the Trevians 

to call a timeout with 1:06 

remaining. After neither 

team could do anything 

with the ball on each of 

their next two possessions, 

New Trier grabbed a rebound 

with 41.7 seconds 

remaining and held for the 

last shot. 

“The game plan was for 

him (Kirkpatrick) to go 

by his guy and to make an 

extra pass,” Fricke said. 

“He went by his guy and 

saw the rim but we actually 

had our best shooter 

(Aaron Peltz) open on the 

right side.” 

Kirkpatrick’s shot 

missed and the game was 

headed for an extra fourminute 

period. 

The start of overtime 

was identical to the start 

of the game. The Trevians 

ran off a 5-0 spurt to start

Aaron Peltz (11) and Andrew Kirkpatrick (1) Nov. 23 in 

Wilmette. Varsity Views 

the extra period, as Loyola 

couldn’t score for most of 

the first half of overtime. 

Two free throws by Julian 

DeGuzman cut the New 

Trier lead to 54-51. 

Senior center Teddy 

McGregor extended the 

Trevians lead to 56-51 before 

Evans (20 points, six 

rebounds, five assists) hit a 

three with 30.4 seconds remaining 

to cut the lead to 

56-54. Following a Loyola 

timeout and two New Trier 

missed free throws, the 

Ramblers had a chance to 

send their rivals home with 

a loss. 

Unfortunately for 

Loyola, Evans’ shot hit the 

rim and bounced off, giving 

the Trevians the win. 

“If we could do that one 

over again, and we can’t, 

I probably would have 

called timeout and been a 

little bit clearer but that’s 

VARSITY VIEWS

a good shot,” the Loyola 

coach said. “If Ramar is 

shooting a last shot for 

this team, it’s a good shot. 

Maybe we could have gotten 

him a cleaner look, a 

better executed play, but 

that’s with me. Him taking 

the shot? That’s fine.” 

“Our growth is going to 

come over the next four 

months and this the first 

area we’ll grow from,” Livatino 

added. “We’ll grow 

from all these games but 

it’s a little easier and will 

get their attention a little 

bit.” 

Even with the loss, 

Loyola advanced to the title 

game of the tournament, 

where it dropped a 55-44 

decision to Benet. New 

Trier fell to U-High 47-41 

in the third-place game.

wasn’t there 100 percent of the time.”
