Lake Bluff Golf Club tees off to celebrate reopening 

Sam Rakestraw 

Freelance Reporter 

The friendly matches at 

the Lake Bluff Golf Clubhouse 

on Friday, Aug. 9 

were played with love and 

appreciation for the past, 

present and future with 

the grand reopening of the 

clubhouse. 

The public golf club 

will be staying open after 

doubt that the course 

would be open by year’s 

end. 

Members of the Lake 

Bluff and Lake Forest 

communities demonstrated 

their knowledge in the 

golf business and refusal 

to allow their course to 

close by raising $125,000 

last year. The Park District 

followed through on 

their deal to match it for a 

combined $250,000. 

Under a new lease with 

Members of the Lake Bluff Community Golf Association and others cut the ribbon 

during the grand reopening celebration of the Lake Bluff Golf Clubhouse on Friday, 

Aug. 9. Photo submitted 

Mundelein-based course 

manager GolfVisions 

Management Inc., the 

Lake Bluff Golf Club will 

be in operation for at least 

another five years. 

The funds have gone 

into the renovation of the 

clubhouse and partnering 

up with businesses such 

as caterers or pro shop retailers. 

“This golf course is a 

great asset to the community,” 

said John 

Krzynowek, a member of 

the Lake Bluff Community 

Golf Association. “And 

we all need to encourage 

the modern community to 

come out and support it. 

By playing golf, hitting 

balls, chipping, putting, 

taking a lesson, going to 

one of the camps or just 

coming in to have lunch.” 

The Lake Bluff Community 

Golf Association 

is a community organization 

formed when it 

became clear the course 

was experiencing some 

fate-questioning financial 

problems. Golf experts, 

business and community 

members make up 

the group, which closely 

works with the Park District. 

A year ago, the clubhouse 

was a different 

place. Aside from the 

unhygienic nature of the 

facilities and bathrooms, 

it didn’t meet the requirements 

of the Americans 

with Disability Act 

(ADA) and was inaccessible 

for some. Now, the 

clubhouse is up to date on 

any building requirements 

and was given a new look. 

Sandy Swift plays in a 

lady’s league every Tuesday. 

She’d also volunteer 

to help the interior designer 

and architect bring the 

next evolution of the clubhouse 

to life. A wall was 

removed to make more 

space and the walls were 

repainted. 

Artists from Lake Bluff 

and Lake Forest were also 

happy to display some 

of their work around the 

place. Guests of the Park 

District across the street 

would stop by for lunch. 

“We kept it simple, but 

effective,” said Swift. 

As of now, any expenses 

to the clubhouse have 

been paid off. The balance 

of the money is for any 

other improvements. 

A new addition to the 

clubhouse, one commemorating 

the past, is a 

plaque on a rock giving 

thanks to former Lake 

Bluff Golf Club Commissioners 

Kurt Gronau and 

Brock Gordon.

Lake Forest teen blasts off at Ala. Space Academy 

Katie Copenhaver 


This summer was a particularly 

special time to 

be at the U.S. Space and 

Rocket Center in Huntsville, 

Alabama, because of 

the 50th anniversary of the 

first moon landing. 

Deer Path Middle School 

student Jonathan Hough, 

13, a rising seventh-grader, 

was lucky to be there for 

the celebration of the successful 

Apollo 11 mission. 

In the week leading up to 

Saturday, July 20, he attended 

Space Academy, an 

educational camp for kids 

ages 12-14. 

According to Hough, 

there were a number of celebrations 

at the center while 

he was there, and the campers 

participated in a couple

of them. One took place the 

morning of Tuesday, July 

16 when the center attempted 

to break a Guinness 

World Record by launching 

5,000 model rockets simultaneously 

from the United 

States Space Camp Rocket 

Launch Complex. As of 

press time, Guinness had 

not confirmed if this broke 

the world record. 

The other was a ceremony 

for campers featuring 

Robert “Hoot” Gibson, a 

retired astronaut, pilot and 

naval officer. He flew five 

space missions for NASA 

in the 1980s and 1990s. 

“It was really cool to see 

him and hear stories,” said 

Hough. “It made me more 

interested in science.” 

Additionally, all the 

trainees/campers received

a pin commemorating the 

moon landing anniversary 

during the academy graduation 

at the end of their 

camp session. 

This was Hough’s first 

year attending Space 

Camp, and he discovered 

it on his own, due to his 

personal interest in space 

exploration. According to 

his father, Tyler Hough, 

Jonathan saw a commercial 

for it and then looked it up 

online where he got all the 

necessary details about registering 

to attend. 

During the camp session, 

the younger Hough 

was assigned to a team led 

by two crew trainers, who 

are the equivalent of camp 

counselors. They worked 

on two missions: a space 

shuttle trip to the International 

Space Station (ISS) 

and a capsule trip to the 

moon. He was assigned to 

be commander on board 

the shuttle for the first mission 

and CAPCOM for 

the second mission, which 

meant he was at mission 

control on Earth. 

Also during the week, he 

and his team members had 

the opportunity to try space 

simulators. One consisted 

of three rings that move the 

trainee, who is strapped in 

like on an amusement park 

ride, around in 360 degrees 

of motion. The other simulated 

a walk on the moon, 

where the gravity is only 

1/6 of what it is on Earth. 

“That felt a little like 

being on a trampoline,” 

Hough said of the moon 

walk simulator.

only one from the Lake 

Forest-Lake Bluff area 

who attended space camp 

in Huntsville this summer. 

Hough said there were kids 

from all over the United 

States and even from other 

countries who attended. 

Their common passion for 

space and science brought 

them together for a culturally 

rich experience. 

According to the space 

and rocket center administrators, 

Space Camp “uses 

astronaut training techniques 

to engage trainees 

in real-world applications 

of STEM subjects.” In addition, 

“students sleep in 

quarters designed to resemble 

the ISS and train in 

simulators like those used 

by NASA.” 

“More than 900,000 

trainees have graduated 

from a Space Camp program 

since its inception in 

1982,” noted the administration. 

As Hough said, the space 

and rocket center held an 

event almost every day 

July 12-20 in commemoration 

of the moon landing 

anniversary, most of which 

were open to the public. 

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin from 

the Apollo 11 crew was one 

of the special guests at a 

Tuesday, July 16 evening 

program. 

Hough hopes to return to 

Space Camp next summer, 

possibly for one of the other 

programs, which include 

aviation and robotics. 

And his summer adventures 

did not end when 

he returned home from 

Alabama. He left the next 

week for Blue Lake Fine 

Arts Band Camp in Michigan 

and then attended a 

general overnight camp in 

Wisconsin. Finally, he and 

his family took a trip to see 

relatives in New York, during 

which Hough played 

a solo saxophone version 

of the national anthem at 

the beginning of a Brooklyn 

Cyclones minor league 

baseball game.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Lawsuit alleges Glenview 

nursing home employees 

abused, harassed 91-yearold 

resident 

A Glenview nursing 

home and two of its former 

employees are facing 

a $1 million lawsuit over 

alleged abuse and harassment 

at the facility — including 

an incident posted 

on Snapchat by the former 

employees. 

The Abington of Glenview 

nursing home and its 

owner/operator Innovative 

Management, as well as 

former employees Brayan 

Cortez, of Glenview, 

and Jamie Montesa, were 

sued Wednesday, Aug. 7, 

in Cook County Circuit 

Court by Margaret Battersby 

Black, of the Levin 

& Perconti law firm. 

Black is representing 

Margaret Collins, a 

91-year-old former Abington 

resident, who was diagnosed 

with dementia. 

Collins alleges she was 

taunted by Cortez and 

Montesa, who worked as 

certified nursing assistants 

at the nursing home 

located at 3901 Glenview 

Road. 

Cortez, 20, and Montesa, 

21, were arrested Jan. 8 

at the Glenview Police Department, 

more than two 

weeks after a video was 

posted to Snapchat. 

A video of the incident 

shows Collins holding a 

blanket above her head 

as one of the employees 

shakes a hospital gown at 

her and tosses it on her pillow. 

The short video was 

captioned with the words 

“Margaret hates gowns” 

alongside two laughing 

emojis, according to the 

lawsuit.

Address canvassing for 2020 

Census underway on North Shore 

Hilary Anderson 


The U.S. Census Bureau 

recently began address 

canvassing for the 2020 

Census. 

Address canvassing is 

the verification of addresses 

generally due to new 

construction or the demolition 

of buildings. 

It will not happen on 

every block in the United 

States. 

“The only time address 

canvassers will knock on 

a door is to confirm an address 

has either been created 

or changed since the 

last census in 2010,” said 

Bryan Carpenter, Chicago 

Regional Census Center, 

U.S. Census Bureau. 

“Most of the address canvassing 

will be done from 

the curb. There also will 

be no phone calls made to 

residents during address 

canvassing.” 

Older houses that have 

been torn down and replaced 

with new ones usually 

maintain the address 

of the former house on that 

property. 

New addresses that 

likely will be verified by a 

census address canvasser 

include the following: 

• A new house or building 

that now stands on a 

piece of once vacant land.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Car stolen from Wilmette 

involved in fatal Lake 

• Townhouses or two or 

more single family houses 

constructed on a single 

piece of vacant land, or 

those built on a larger lot 

where at one time there 

stood only a single house 

or building. They usually 

will have new addresses 

and/or a split personal 

identification number. 

• An address on a building 

that changed from 

one to two separate living 

quarters since the 2010 

Census would be another 

address the canvasser likely 

would verify. 

• Multi-family addresses 

such as college dorms or 

group homes are identified 

through third-party data. 

There are several ways 

to verify the individual is a 

Census Bureau employee 

Carpenter said. 

• The field representative 

must present an identification 

badge, which contains 

their name, photograph, a 

Department of Commerce 

watermark and an expiration 

date. 

• A field representative 

will be carrying an official 

bag with the Census Bureau 

logo or a laptop for 

conduct the survey. 

• The field representative 

will provide a letter 

from the Census Bureau 

on official letterhead stating 

why they are visiting 

your residence. 

• Upon request, the field 

representative will provide 

their supervisor’s contact 

information and/or the 

phone number for the local 

Census Bureau Regional 

Office, which supervises 

the activities of all field 

representatives in the local 

area. 

“A Census Bureau employee 

during the address 

canvassing will never call 

you on the phone or ask 

for usernames, passwords, 

credit card numbers or account 

details,” Carpenter 

said. “Additionally, a field 

representative will never 

ask for money or donations, 

anything on behalf 

of a political party or your 

mother’s maiden name.” 

It cannot be emphasized 

enough that most of the 

address canvassing will be 

done from the curb Carpenter 

said. 

“Census workers additionally 

will never ask for 

social security or banking 

information,” said Michael 

Robinson, commander 

with the Wilmette Police 

Department. “If someone 

does not have proper identification 

or is acting suspiciously, 

please call the Wilmette 

Police Department 

for assistance.” 

County shooting, police

A car stolen from the 

driveway of a Wilmette 

residence during the overnight 

hours of Sunday, 

Aug. 11, was involved in 

a high-speed chase from

to the Wilmette Police Department

Beef4Hunger Block Party in LB 

provides free beef for the needy 

Peter Kaspari, Editor 

A nonprofit dedicated 

to providing free beef 

for needy people across 

the country will be able 

to provide about 12,000 

more meals following a 

fundraiser in Lake Bluff 

on Saturday, Aug. 10. 

Beef4Hunger, based in 

Lake Forest, raised money 

to purchase those meals 

during the Brewing Company 

Block Party. 

Greg Barnum, president 

and founder of Beef4Hunger, 

said the Lake Bluff 

event was a success. 

“It went great,” he said. 

“We raised enough funds 

to probably provide another 

12,000 meals directly 

to those in need.” 

He estimated there were 

about 400 people in attendance 

at the block party, 

which included a performance 

from The Hellhounds, 

who have been 

supporting Beef4Hunger 

for the past eight years. 

Unlike most nonprofits, 

which measure their successes 

in dollars raised, 

Barnum said Beef4Hunger 

instead counts how 

many meals they’ve provided 

as their successes. 

“We have always talked 

in meals served versus 

dollars,” he said. 

Beef4Hunger was 

founded in 2012 after Barnum 

said they surveyed 

more than 200 food banks 

across the country and 

learned that, when they 

have to trim their budgets, 

beef is usually the 

first food item they cut because 

it’s the most expensive 

food they provide. 

“It’s like gold to them,” 

Barnum said. 

Beef4Hunger provides

that fresh beef to the food 

pantries in not only Lake 

County and Illinois, but 

across the nation as well. 

Barnum said it’s the 

only nonprofit in the 

country that exclusively 

cures and delivers fresh 

beef to those in need. 

Since its inception, 

Beef4Hunger has donated 

more than 293,000 meals. 

Barnum thanked all who 

came out to Lake Bluff to 

support Beef4Hunger. He

Lake Bluff awarded public safety grant 

Staff report 

The village of Lake Bluff was recently 

awarded a grant through the 

ComEd Powering Safe Communities 

Program. 

This grant will support the purchase 

of a new portable speed advisory 

sign to enhance the village’s 

neighborhood traffic-calming program. 

The sign will warn drivers 

when they exceed the speed limit 

and will log traffic data for future 

traffic-calming decisions, including 

increased enforcement or engineering 

changes. 

“The safety of the public and our 

employees is our highest priority,” 

Melissa Washington, vice president 

of governmental and external affairs 

at ComEd, said in a press release. 

“That’s why we partner with 

the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus 

each year through the ComEd Powering 

Safe Communities Program 

to promote a culture of safety and 

wellness in our communities. By 

providing local agencies with the 

resources required to help address 

public safety needs, we’re powering 

a brighter, more resilient future 

for the residents they serve.” 

Lake Bluff was one of 25 northern 

Illinois communities to receive 

the grant. 

For the past four grant cycles, 

ComEd has collaborated with the 

Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, a 

council for Chicagoland’s chief 

elected officials, on public policy 

issues and to fund $670,000 worth 

of public safety projects throughout 

northern Illinois. Through this 

collaboration, ComEd provides the 

program funding, the Metropolitan 

Mayors Caucus administers the 

grants to local communities, and 

grant recipients match ComEd’s 

contribution with their own funding 

of equal or greater value. 

“For the past four years, we have 

been able to leverage over $1.8 

million for 95 local public safety 

projects,” said Joseph Tamburino, 

Hillside mayor and chairman of the 

Metropolitan Mayors Caucus.

Closing time 

65TH ANNUAL 2019

Editorial Intern 

I got out into the communities of

and interviewed its citizens, reporting 

on real stories with real 

people who had a story to tell.

They say the best 

way to get experience 

in a field 

is to get an internship. 

However, many internships 

require experience 

in order to land them. For 

many college students 

including myself, this can 

become a frustrating conundrum 

when it comes 

to applying for summer 

internships. 

Lacking much journalism 

experience outside of 

the newsroom at Lehigh 

University, I struck out on 

a lot of “bigger” opportunities 

I was hopeful to 

receive after my sophomore 

year in college. I 

did however receive an 

opportunity here at 22nd 

Century Media, an opportunity 

to come home 

to Highland Park for the 

summer and gain valuable 

internship experience. 

I was unsure what I 

was going to accomplish 

this summer. I knew I 

had the skills to jump out 

into the field, but I wasn’t 

sure my abilities would 

be tested. The internship 

wasn’t full-time, so I really 

didn’t know if I would 

gain valuable experiences 

or just sit around doing 

the work the full-time 

editors didn’t want to do. 

I am elated to say 

that this internship far 

exceeded my expectations. 

I got out into the 

communities of Highland 

Park and Lake Forest and 

interviewed its citizens, 

reporting on real stories 

with real people who had 

a story to tell. For the last 

three months, I believe 

I have told those stories 

and while not everything 

I did may have seemed 

super important-hyperlocal 

stories aren’t always 

the craziest news- I 

believe that each story I 

wrote furthered me as a 

journalist. 

I am confident that I 

will go back to school 

this semester with a better 

preparedness as a writer, 

an interviewer and with 

an enhanced ability to 

tell people’s stories. I 

even gained immediate 

connections through this 

internship. The first story 

I was assigned, a Lake 

Bluff resident who wrote 

a book on the Chicago 

Bears 2018 season, turned 

into an extra opportunity 

for me this summer 

exploring some of the 

radio and audio side of 

journalism. 

While I wasn’t too 

excited to feel like I was 

stuck at home for the 

summer after my sophomore 

year of college, I 

know that I have walked 

away with a far greater 

understanding of the 

journalism world and 

furthered my abilities. 

I want to thank my 

Highland Park editor Erin 

Yarnall for guiding me 

through this summer and 

recognizing that my abilities 

could and should be 

put to the test out in the 

field. I am also thankful 

to Alyssa Groh for serving 

a similar role during 

her time as the Lake Forest 

editor before moving 

on from 22nd Century 

Media. Without them, I 

wouldn’t be able to say I 

gained as much from this 

summer as I did. 

I have ambition to 

move forward with my 

journalism career and I 

now know that I have the 

experiences to match my 

abilities. No longer will 

the problem of not having 

valuable experiences be 

an issue for me. Unlike 

some kids my age who 

get “internships” that 

only consist of getting 

coffee and doing mindless 

work, I know that I 

actually got something 

out of my summer. For 

whatever my future holds, 

I will forever be thankful 

to 22nd Century Media 

for helping jump start my 

career.

FROM THE EDITOR 

Remembering childhood family vacations 

Peter Kaspari 


One of my favorite 

parts about 

growing up was 

the annual Kaspari family 

summer vacation. 

Every year, Mom, 

Dad, my sister Katy and 

I would pack the rental 

car, fill it to the brim 

with suitcases, coolers, 

snacks, car games and our 

favorite cassette tapes and 

hit the road. We stayed, 

for the most part, in the 

Midwest, but we still 

explored some amazing 

sights from the country. 

Among the places 

we visited were Junction 

City, Kansas to visit 

the storefront that once 

housed the restaurant my 

Greek great-grandparents 

had owned; Columbus, 

Ohio, where we saw the 

Columbus Zoo; multiple 

trips to Minnesota to see 

the Mall of America; 

Washington, D.C. for the 

White House, the U.S. 

Capitol, the National 

Mall and all the museums; 

and, my personal 

favorite family vacation, 

when my family took a 

trip to South Dakota in 

1996, shortly before I 

turned 8 years old. We 

saw Mt. Rushmore, the 

Corn Palace, Needles 

Highway and, the best 

part of the trip, Custer 

State Park, where we saw 

bison, bighorn sheep, 

prairie dogs and the 

Editor Peter Kaspari (right) and his sister, Katy Kaspari (left) pose at the Needles in 

South Dakota’s Black Hills during a family vacation in 1996. SUBMITTED PHOTO 

famous “begging burros” 

(donkeys who stand in 

the middle of the road 

and won’t leave until you 

feed them). 

While I vividly remember 

many of these vacations, 

the truth is, with 

the passage of time, some 

details I’ve forgotten. 

That’s why I’m thankful 

that my parents took so 

many pictures on these 

vacations. To this day, my 

family has albums filled 

with vacation photos 

from all the trips we took 

over the years. I certainly 

enjoy going back and 

looking through them 

to see what I was doing 

back then. 

I bring this up because 

the Lake Forest Leader is 

hosting its seventh annual 

Family Vacation Photo 

Contest, and I’m expecting 

to see some great 

entries from our readers.

your family vacation

Bears Ladies launch donation 

drive for Bernie’s Book Bank 

Peter Kaspari, Editor 

Bernie’s Book Bank 

is expected to get a very 

large book donation by the 

end of the month thanks to 

some bears. 

No, not the animal bears; 

the Chicago Bears. 

A group of women 

known as the Chicago 

Bears Ladies is in the midst 

of a donation drive, where 

they are hoping to get 500 

books donated to the Lake 

Bluff-based book bank that 

provides quality children’s 

books to at-risk kids. 

The Chicago Bears Ladies 

is made up of women 

who are wives, girlfriends 

and partners of Chicago 

Bears players. 

Jennifer Leno, a Bear 

Lady who is married to 

left tackle Charles Leno 

Jr., said the idea to hold a 

donation drive for Bernie’s 

Book Bank began last year 

when the wife of a nowformer 

player came up 

with the idea. 

After the player left the 

Bears, Leno said she and 

another Chicago Bears 

Lady decided to continue 

the book drive. 

“Why don’t we do 

it again?” Leno asked. 

“We’re going to try and 

make it an annual thing we 

do now.” 

The idea for the fundraiser 

came about after 

the Ladies were asked to 

participate in a number 

of charity events with the 

players themselves. 

“We’ve been trying 

for years to get a group 

of women together to do 

something just like charity-involved,” 

she said. 

“And the team has started 

to do a lot of stuff with us. 

The Lake Bluff-based Bernie’s Book Bank provides 

books to children who may not be able to afford them. 

We thought, ‘Hey, let’s do 

something on our own.’” 

Last year’s fundraiser 

mostly consisted of the 

Bears players buying Chicago 

Bears books that 

were signed by the players 

and then donated to Bernie’s 

Book Bank. 

This year, Leno said 

the goal is to donate 500 

books. 

“I think we are on track 

to pass that,” she said. 

“I’m very excited.” 

Leno said she’s been 

working hard to promote 

the event on social media. 

When the Bears were at 

training camp in Bourbonnais, 

she posted on social 

media about it and encouraged 

donations. 

“I have a trunk full of 

books,” she said. “I told 

people, ‘Hey, just message 

me on Twitter and we’ll 

meet up.’” 

But there are other places 

where the books can be 

donated as well. Locally, 

donation boxes have been 

set up at the Lake Bluff 

Rec Center and the Lake 

Forest Rec Center. 

Leno added that donation 

boxes and posters 

have also been set up in 

local businesses. 

“It’s been pretty successful 

so far,” Leno said 

of the book drive. 

In fact, it’s proven so 

popular, the book drive 

has been extended to the 

end of the month. 

Leno added, in October, 

the Bears Ladies will 

actually come to Bernie’s 

Book Bank to help sort 

and organize the books. 

Besides books, Leno 

said monetary donations 

are also being accepted. 

The Bears Ladies are actively 

involved in a variety 

of activities. 

“Every year, the Bears 

give us out a big list of 

opportunities we can be 

involved in,” she said. 

One that she and her 

husband did recently was 

help assemble bunk beds 

for needy children. 

The Bears Ladies also 

take part in breast cancer 

awareness events and a 

Christmas event where the 

Bears played with children 

while their parents 

shopped for gifts. 

Those interested in 

donating should visit a 

dropoff location or visit 

berniesbookbank.org. 

Leno asked, when asked 

for a group name, to put 

Chicago Bears Ladies.

Gangnam Ramen takes diners

on previously purchased tickets. 

After decades of wowing 

her family and friends 

at get-togethers and church 

events, Keum Ahn — with 

support from her husband 

and children — decided 

it was time to show off 

her culinary skills to the 

world. 

The Ahn family opened 

the doors to Gangnam Ramen 

in February at 952 

Harlem Ave. in Glenview, 

and local residents and 

Korean cuisine lovers 

quickly took notice, said 

Keum’s son Daniel, who 

left his job in corporate 

marketing to help ensure 

the success of his family’s 

first restaurant. 

The reception has been 

“surprisingly very positive,” 

he said. “The feedback 

so far is great. We 

love the local community 

here in Glenview. We have 

a lot of regulars who are 

very supportive, so we’re 

grateful for that.” 

“In the beginning, it 

was actually really hard,” 

Keum said through Daniel, 

who translated on her 

behalf. But once Daniel 

and his sister stepped in to 

help out with operations, 

Keum found her rhythm 

and started winning over 

customers. 

In the first six months, 

Gangnam Ramen has converted 

many who stopped 

in to try the “half-traditional, 

half-modern” fusion 

of Korean flavors into 

regular diners, he said. 

Most of the dishes on 

the menu started from traditional 

Korean recipes 

that Keum learned while 

growing up in the southernmost 

reaches of South 

Korea with 10 siblings. 

Gangnam Ramen’s Korean fried chicken ($10 for a large 

order) features deep-fried chicken nuggets glazed in a 

Korean chilli sauce. Eric DeGrechie/22nd Century Media 

Keum said she has taken 

those recipes and “Americanized” 

them slightly as a 

way to introduce customers 

to Korean cuisine. 

The menu also features 

a few options for those 

looking to sample some of 

the more exotic dishes of 

Korea, such as the seafood 

udon and spicy rice cakes. 

While many of the dishes 

have rustic roots, some 

have much more regal 

backgrounds, like the Korean 

BBQ bulgogi, a dish 

once reserved for Korean 

royalty and special events. 

“I see ourselves as a tour 

guide for Korean culture,” 

Daniel said, alluding to the 

wide range of dishes featured 

on the menu. 

Gangnam Ramen also 

offers diners a dichotomy 

between traditional and 

modern, with one side of 

the restaurant featuring 

muted tones and marble 

tables and the other side 

bursting with colors and 

more modern wooden 

tabletops. 

Keum and Daniel recently 

took a group of 

22nd Century Media editors 

on their tour of Korean 

cuisine via some of 

Gangnam Ramen’s most 

popular dishes.

The experience started 

with an order of Gangnam 

Ramen’s Korean fried 

chicken ($10 for a large order), 

which features deepfried 

chicken nuggets 

glazed in a Korean chilli 

sauce, and an order of the 

Korean BBQ fries ($8.50), 

a serving of French fries 

topped with marinated ribeye 

beef, sour cream sauce, 

scallions and housemade 

Korean barbecue sauce. 

We also sampled the 

fried dumplings ($8 for 

eight dumplings), a staple 

of many Asian restaurants. 

Next, the Ahn family 

served us dumpling ramen 

($10.50), a large bowl of 

broth filled with dumplings, 

egg, mushrooms, 

peppers, onions and other 

vegetables. Keum simmers 

chicken bones for 48 hours 

to give the broth its depth 

of flavor.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Mary Margaret Reay 

Reay is a senior on the 

Lake Forest girls volleyball 

team. 

How did you get 

started playing 

volleyball? 

I first started playing 

in seventh grade. What I 

really loved about it was 

how much of a team sport 

it is. Before volleyball 

I had been doing tennis 

and other sports that were 

more solo. I loved being 

on a court with five other 

girls and building a relationship 

with them through 

the sport. 

What’s the most 

challenging part of 

playing volleyball? 

Kind of the same thing. 

I’ve had seasons where I 

don’t really connect with 

the girls, and it’s really 

hard to depend on them on 

the court and then not have 

a good relationship off the 

court. When you’re not 

really friends, it’s hard to 

play with people. 

Do you have any 

pregame rituals or 

superstitions? 

I always like to listen to 

pump-up music to get my 

head in the game. 

What’s the best 

coaching advice you’ve 

ever gotten? 

Probably just learn from 

your mistakes. Every mistake 

is an opportunity 

to improve because you 

know what you did wrong. 

If you could play 

another sport besides 

volleyball, what would 

it be? 

Probably tennis because 

both of my siblings play. 

I would like to be able to 

play with them. 

What’s your favorite 

place to eat? 

Salt Creek Tacos in 

Highwood. I love their 

food and it’s a really fun 

environment. 

Who is your favorite 

athlete? 

Simone Biles because 

she has gone through so 

much and she’s just a 

strong athlete and represents 

America really well. 

photo submitted 

If you won the lottery, 

what’s the first thing 

you would buy? 

I would travel around 

the Mediterranean. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would 

you go? 

I’ve always wanted to 

go to Greece, just because 

it’s absolutely stunning 

and I love the food. 

What are some of 

your favorite hobbies? 

I love just hanging out 

with friends because it’s 

stress-free. I also love 

playing with my dogs.

Going Places 

‘Late-bloomer’ Fisher set to thrive at Miami of Ohio 

Nick Frazier, Sports Editor 

When watching Danny 

Fisher excel on the golf 

course, you would think 

he’s been playing the game 

for most of his life. 

Surprisingly, that isn’t 

the case, as the Miami 

University of Ohio commit 

says he first tried out the 

sport with his grandfather 

when he was eight years 

old. Fisher didn’t truly 

become a golfer until he 

was about 12 or 13, having 

focused more on baseball 

and soccer before then. 

A late start didn’t end 

up hindering Fisher, as he 

graduated from Lake Forest 

High School this spring 

with an impressive resume. 

A four-year member 

of the Scouts varsity team, 

Fisher was named to the 

All-North Suburban Conference 

team as a junior. 

In his final year at Lake 

Forest, he carded a 67 at 

the NSC invitational and 

helped carry the team to 

a fourth-place finish at the 

state meet. 

Most recently, Fisher 

won the 39th Chick Evans 

Junior Amateur Tournament, 

organized by the 

Illinois Junior Golf Association 

in July. The Lake 

Forest resident won five 

rounds of match play to 

take home the trophy. 

Fisher says his being a 

late-bloomer on the course 

ended up giving him a 

valuable chip on his shoulder. 

“I think the four years 

of high school I just continually 

got better,” Fisher 

said. “There was just always 

more I had to work 

on. As others were maybe 

beginning to flatline a little 

bit, I was continuing to 

grow.” 

Fisher recalls winning a

Media file photo 

nine-hole tournament when 

he first started committing 

to golf. It had a big impact 

on him eventually falling in 

love with the game. 

“In the grand scheme 

of things it didn’t mean a 

ton to anyone else besides 

me,” Fisher said. “To see I 

could take home a trophy 

in something I’ve done 

stood out to me, so I was 

like ‘Yeah, I’ll keep giving 

this a try.’ 

“It’s definitely a game 

where you have to be methodical, 

and I’m not one 

who loves to exert a ton 

of energy, I’m not the guy 

who’s going to spring up 

and down the field. The 

game itself really struck 

out to me as a game where 

you really have to think, 

and I enjoyed that. It’s a 

game where you put so 

much time into it and you 

can see the results come 

out of that.” 

Fisher played baseball 

his freshman year 

at LFHS, but afterwards 

went all in on golf. He had 

joined The Golf Practice, 

a training facility in Highland 

Park, the summer before 

his freshman year to 

help him make the Scouts 

varsity team. 

In his senior year, Fisher 

averaged a score of 71.5 

per 18 holes, illustrating 

his growth as a golfer. 

Shortly after his senior 

season, Fisher committed 

to the Red Hawks program. 

Miami of Ohio finished 

tied for sixth out of 

nine teams in the Mid- 

American Conference 

tournament this past year. 

On top of that, a bevy of 

North Shore golfers have 

gone through the program. 

Highwood’s Patrick Flavin 

graduated from the Red 

Hawks in 2018, Northbrook’s 

Brian Ohr left this 

past spring, and Glenview 

resident Charlie Nikitas 

will be a senior on the 

team this fall. 

Fisher watched as Flavin 

went on to compete in 

professional tournaments, 

helping draw him to a collegiate 

program that helps 

prepare its golfers for a 

post-grad career on the 

links. 

“I want to see how far 

the game of golf takes me 

after college,” Fisher said. 

“I was a late bloomer, but 

it’s a program that could 

trust my progression. 

There was a sense of comfort 

when I went on my 

visit to meet them, it was 

kind of the same mindset 

of the program, which was 

nice.” 

On Aug. 19, Fisher left 

Lake Forest for his new 

home in Ohio. He figures 

to contribute plenty as a 

freshman, but there’s still 

more he wants to work on 

Fisher watches his ball while competing in the Chick Evans Junior Amateur Tournament 

in July. Photo courtesy of IJGA 

in the meantime. 

“Just maybe more consistency,” 

Fisher said. “I 

know I can compete with 

the best college players 

out there, it’s just some of 

my scores, I can get a little 

lackluster at times. Just 

more experience competing 

against better players 

will really be the big thing. 

I know I have the game for 

it, it’s just more time to 

hone my skills.”

off the 2019 season at the 

North Intercollegiate tournament

From the sports intern 

Looking back on a memorable 

summer internship with The Leader 

Drew Favakeh 

Sports Intern 

When I first 

started at 22nd 

Century Media, 

I expected to be doing 

typical intern’s grunt 

work. Answer phone 

calls, grab a coffee or 

two, maybe write the occasional 

game recap. 

Sure, I did write some 

game recaps, especially 

in the beginning with 

lacrosse season coming to 

an end, but by the end of 

my internship, I refined 

my writing skills tremendously. 

I was writing 2-4 

feature stories per week 

and generally learning 

on the fly, just as I had 

wanted to when I applied 

to intern at 22nd Century 

Media. 

But in many ways, it 

was way more than I expected. 

When Lake Forest 

Leader editor Alyssa 

Groh left for another 

job, Nick Frazier worked 

double duty until a new 

editor arrived three weeks 

later. You’d be hardpressed 

to find Nick without 

bags under his eyes 

or sweat seeping through 

his shirt. Needless to say, 

he worked tremendously 

hard and even still, his 

content was impressive. 

Alyssa’s departure also 

meant I had to cover for 

Nick at times. I had to 

write even more feature 

stories and I’m not 

going to lie, I struggled 

sometimes. I am the first 

to admit that I struggle 

with deadlines. But with 

Nick’s help, I improved 

in that aspect. He would 

constantly remind me 

via text or in person, that 

he needed stories a few 

days early. For that, I am 

grateful. 

I am grateful for all the 

sports editors’ help this 

year; Northbrook Tower 

and Glenview Lantern 

sports editor, Michal 

Dwojak and Wilmette 

Beacon, Glencoe Anchor 

and Winnetka Current 

sports editor, Michael 

Wojtychiw, too. Wojtychiw 

taught me to find 

the focus of the story and 

Dowjak, to cut unnecessary 

words. I would 

also like to thank Eric 

DeGrechie and Megan 

Bernard, both of whom 

helped me land this internship 

in the first place. 

With their help, I was 

able to cover sports 

stories across the north 

shore. My goal at the 

beginning was to show 

the human aspect of an 

athletes’ life. Confidently, 

I can say I succeeded in 

doing so. 

I wrote about Princeton 

University and New 

Trier alumnus Steven 

Cook, who quit professional 

basketball to 

volunteer in Uganda, 

Baylor University sophomore 

and Highland Park 

alumna, soccer player 

Giuliana Cunningham, 

who overcame anemia 

to have a great freshman 

season, and Princeton 

junior and Highland Park 

alumnus Levy Nathan, 

who had shingles but 

ended the swimming 

season and school year 

strong. And those are just 

a few people I met. 

In writing and reporting 

for 22nd Century Media, 

I found that I still have a 

passion for doing such. 

Next semester, I begin 

a sports editor internship 

at the IndyStar and 

my second year at the 

Butler Collegian. Before, 

I wasn’t sure I was 

prepared, but with this 

opportunity, I can now 

say I am fully prepared. 

Above all, I couldn’t 

have done it without you, 

the reader. Thank you for 

taking this trip with me, 

through all the ups and 

downs. It will be exciting 

to read all the 22nd 

Century Media crew has 

to offer while I’m in college, 

at Butler University. 

In the meantime, keep 

reading, who knows who 

you might meet.

with their effort today,” 

Johnson said. “Some of 

the girls had some adversity 

but they came through 

and turned it around. They 

weren’t super thrilled with 

their scores, but they’ll 

get better.” 

The best athletes allow 

failure to motivate them 

and that’s exactly what 

Highland Park sophomore 

Ally Kovitz did at the end 

of last year’s high school 

golf season. 

“I shot a really bad score 

at regionals last year and 

after that I said I wanted 

to be more serious about 

the game,” Kovitz said. “I 

want to work hard and be 

as good as I can be.” 

NORTH SHORE 

Kovitz’s plan included 

foregoing an eight-week 

summer camp she annually 

attended and instead 

she attended a pair of 

week-long golf camps 

far from home. Her newfound 

commitment to golf 

opened her eyes to what it 

truly takes to consistently 

play well. 

“It’s really about how 

many times you can get 

a club in your hands each 

week,” Kovitz said. “But 

you also can’t forget it’s a 

game, and it’s about making 

friends and having 

fun.” 

Highland Park had some 

fun in its first tournament 

of the season. Kovitz shot 

a 76 to help lead the Giants 

to a fourth-place finish 

in a field of 11 teams. 

Giants first-year head 

coach Jessica Berens sees 

a difference in Kovitz 

since last season. 

“She’s more confident 

in her game, she knows

A 22ND CENTURY MEDIA PRODUCTION 

the improvements and 

corrections she needs to 

make out on the course, 

and she’s making them,” 

Berens said. “She’s more 

consistent and I expect 

some great things from 

her and some really good 

golf play.” 

Highland Park got a 

score of 81 from Emmi 

Schwenk, an 82 from 

Sam Fahn, and an 85 from 

Charlotte Harrigan to finish 

40 over par as a team. 

Host Barrington won the 

tournament at 12 over par, 

followed by Brookfield 

Central of Wisconsin and 

Lincoln-Way Central. 

“I was really proud of the 

girls for going out, working 

hard, and coming back with 

some real nice scores,” 

Berens said. “We have a 

young team which is exciting 

to be able to work with. 

We’ll keep working to see 

improvement and we’ll get 

a couple more years out of 

them.”

Scouts place fifth in season-opening tournament 

Gary Larsen 


Lake Forest junior 

Elizabeth Lyon has not 

enjoyed playing at Bonnie 

Dundee Golf Club in 

years past, in a seasonopening 

tournament annually 

hosted by Barrington. 

“I haven’t played very 

well here,” Lyon said. 

“Last year I shot a 92 here 

so I really wanted to shoot 

below 90 this year.” 

Mission accomplished. 

Lyon destroyed her previous 

best score at the 

course in Carpentersville 

on Thursday, Aug. 15, 

shooting a team-low 79 to 

help lead the Scouts to a 

fifth-place finish in the 11- 

team field. 

There’s no practice 

range at Bonnie Dundee 

so players essentially got 

off the team bus and teed 

off. It took most players a 

few holes to warm up and 

Lyon was no different. 

“I bogeyed, parred, and 

bogeyed, and then I birdied 

a hole,” Lyon said. 

“After that I started to 

feel better. I kept it calm 

and I played pretty confident 

today. My chipping 

and putting haven’t been 

great but towards the end 

today I started putting really 

well. I made a lot of 

one-putts.” 

Scouts coach Steve 

Johnson liked what he 

saw from Lyon. 

“She’s someone that can 

really drive the ball well,” 

Johnson said. “She’s really 

long and consistent 

and she must have putted 

really well today. I know 

she played in tournaments 

all summer and she really 

works hard at her game.” 

Sophomore Chloe Lee 

finished one stroke behind 

Lyon with a score 

‘Some of the 

girls had 

some adversity 

but they 

came through 

and turned it 

around. They 

weren’t super 

thrilled with 

their scores, 

but they’ll get 

better.’

of 80, followed by junior 

Gianna Martino (82) and 

junior Susa Carlson (84). 

Sophomores Lucy Rogers 

(91) and Michelyn Ward 

(89) also competed for a 

Scouts team that has a lot 

of parity at the top of its 

lineup. 

“I think everyone 

knows we could have 

played a little better but 

we were scrambling to do 

the best we could,” Lee 

said. “I think some of it 

was nerves because that’s 

always the biggest enemy 

on the course.” 

Lee wasn’t particularly 

pleased with how she 

played in the season opener, 

but Johnson knows 

what he’ll get from her 

this year. 

“Chloe played well for 

us as a freshman. She 

played very consistent,” 

Johnson said. “She hits 

fairways and greens and 

once she gets a little bigger 

and stronger, she’s going 

to be tough. According 

to her she’s struggling 

a little bit right now but 

I’ll take an 80 for the first 

tournament.” 

Lee wasn’t pleased 

with her iron play but she 

putted well in Carpentersville 

and feels like a better 

golfer in her second varsity 

season. 

“My technique has always 

been okay but I 

think mentally I’ve gotten 

a lot stronger,” Lee said. 

“This year it’s been easier 

for me to stay in the present 

moment.” 

Lyon, Carlson, Lee, and 

Martino were all a part of 

last year’s varsity team 

that won a regional title. 

Johnson was also happy 

with the performances of 

varsity newcomers Ward

Three Stars of 

the Week

two strong 

seasons in the 

BCHL, the LFA 

product will skate 

for Division-I 

Merrimack College 

this year. 

2. Elizabeth Lyon.

tournament

3. Danny Fisher. 

The boys golf 

star heads to the 

Miami of Ohio 

University after a 

successful fouryear 

varsity career 

with the Scouts. 

There were points during 

his time at Lake Forest 

Academy that Ryan Nolan 

wasn’t sure he could stick 

it in NCAA Division-I 

hockey. 

Nolan scored 19 points 

in his first season with the 

Caxys, then upped that 

number to 22 his senior 

year. The Winnetka native 

transferred to LFA 

after two season at Loyola 

Academy. 

The collegiate potential 

was there, but Nolan still 

had doubts about whether 

he could make it to that 

level. That’s why he ended 

up joining the Victoria 

Grizzlies, a junior team 

in the British Columbia 

Hockey League. 

“I’ve always wanted to 

play D-I hockey, but there 

were moments where I 

thought I wasn’t going to 

be able to,” Nolan said. 

“Taking a leap in juniors 

was an important decision 

for me. At that point, I 

could have gone to school, 

but I put in two extra years 

and I went out on my own 

for it and it ended up pretty 

well.” 

His time with the Grizzlies 

went so well, in 

fact, that Nolan earned a 

scholarship to Merrimack 

College, a small school located 

in Masschusetts. The 

Warriors compete in the 

Hockey East, one of the 

most difficult conferences

in all of hockey. 

Nolan, a 6-foot-1, 

180-pound playmaker, is 

one of 16 freshmen on this 

year’s Merrimack roster. 

With a second-year head 

coach in Scott Borek, the 

Warriors are undergoing 

a full rebuild. Nolan says 

he was eager to be one of 

the guys to help renovate 

the program’s culture and 

identity. 

“They had just cut a 

bunch of guys and brought 

in a new coach, they wanted 

to build up a new program,” 

Nolan said. “I met 

with the coach and he explained 

that he was recruiting 

a bunch of guys all for 

different reasons and he 

was putting a team together. 

He envisioned something 

great and I wanted 

to be a part of that rebuild, 

set a standard for the new 

program.” 

It’s common for hockey 

players to go straight to 

the junior level from high 

school to hone their skills. 

The college game features 

a much quicker pace and a 

higher level of talent that 

takes getting use to. 

Nolan, who played in 33 

games in his two seasons 

at LFA, was no different. 

He signed with the Grizzlies 

shortly after graduation, 

despite being pretty 

unfamiliar with his new 

surroundings. 

“It was really new to me, 

I didn’t know much about 

junior hockey and the 

BCHL in general,” Nolan 

said. “It was kind of like 

just shipping off to Canada 

and see what was going to 

happen.” 

Luckily for Nolan, he 

ended up becoming good 

friends with his new teammates. 

Fellow forwards 

like Alex Newhook, a 

Boston College commit 

and NHL Draft Pick, and 

Northeastern commit Riley 

Hughes helped with 

Nolan’s transition to Canada. 

The on-ice production 

took a while to blossom, as 

Nolan accumulated just 17 

points in his first season. 

In his second year, the forward 

earned more playing 

time, and it showed in his 

18 goal, 24 assists season. 

Looking back on his two 

years in Victoria, Nolan is 

thankful for the things he 

learned that he can take 

with him to New England. 

“I learned a lot from 

my coaches, and just guys 

around the league,” Nolan 

said. “It was a whole 

new pace for me, it was 

unbelievable to see players 

from a different part 

of the world and players 

that I had never even heard 

of and teams I had never 

known and just seeing all
