Winnetka Founder’s Home To Be Demolished BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

INNETKA – The Landmark Preservation Commission on Jan. 5 somberly approved a demolition permit for one of the oldest homes in Winnetka to make way for new construction. Known as the Thomas Bassett House, the home was built in 1861 and is located at 461 Maple Avenue. Bassett is considered one of the founders of Winnetka. In early December an application for a demolition permit was submitted to the Preservation Commission. Developer Sean Freeman of Twenty 9, Inc. plans to build a house for the property’s owners. At that time the commissioners requested that a Historical and Architectural Impact Study (HAIS) be completed.

by a previous board. “This board has not made a determination,” Commissioner Pellaton said. “The criticism seems rather premature, because the board hasn’t made any indication whether it wants to pursue the lease and at what cost.” According to Fore, Sheridan Shore Yacht Club has occupied the site under a series of leases and permits since 1937. Steve Bobo, Commodore of Sheridan Shore Yacht Club’s Board of Directors, told Daily North Shore that the club is “still considering its alternatives regarding the lease, so I don’t have a specific answer as to whether it will be submitting a bid or its alternative plans.” While the private club has leased the site for nearly 80 years, Bobo said “the club is focused on preserving the use of the building it constructed for its members as well as other organizations that use it.” According to Bobo, the club built

the yacht club in the 1930s while leasing the property from MWRD. Bobo noted that organizations utilizing the building include Sheridan Shore Sailing School, the Wilmette Harbor Association, the Rotary Club as well as other groups related to sailing and boating. At the conclusion of the Jan. 11 meeting the commissioners convened in a private session to review MWRD’s bid package. Park District Executive Director Steve Wilson explained that in a closed session the commissioners are required to keep the discussion to the topic cited for the meeting and may not cast a vote. The Park District plans to hold additional public meetings on this topic, and any board action will be voted on during a public meeting, President Olvany said after the meeting. “I want this to be an open dialogue and I want to hear from people,” President Olvany said.

NEWS FIREFIGHTERS Cont. from PG 1 get to the fire in North Chicago (but) I’m there faster.” “If there are seven guys there who can jump on the rig (in Lake Bluff ) I won’t push one of them off,” Matt Kluchka said. “I’ll go to Lake Forest and either go if it’s upgraded or cover things there.” Jerry Kluchka, who has lived in Lake Bluff since elementary school, joined the department just before Tim was born. He said he had a strong mechanical background and was working in his wife’s family’s construction business, G W Mahler & Son. He also spent plenty of time around the firehouse. “I had friends whose fathers were firemen,” Kluchka said. “We got to go inside the fire station when I was a little guy. In Lake Bluff they blew the siren to call the volunteers. We lived nearby and ran down to the station to see the fire trucks leave.” Using his mechanical skills, Jerry Kluchka started volunteering. He said he worked on the equipment and it was not long before he was a fully-fledged firefighter. As his family started to grow, the next generation of Kluchka men hung around their firehouse like their father did as a youth.

WINNETKA Cont. from PG 1 Winnetka’s preservation ordinance provides that demolition can be delayed until a HAIS is completed, Louise Holland, chair of the Preservation Commission explained to Daily North Shore. The HAIS report is prepared by an architectural historian and documents the house with pictures, measurements and other historic details, and it is kept on file as a historical record of the house. In this case, the HAIS was prepared by Jean L. Guarino, Ph.D., an architectural historian from Oak Park. In the report Guarino explained that while the house holds no architectural significance due to the many changes that were made to it over the years, it does have local historical significance. “The house at 461 Maple Avenue has local significance for its association with Thomas Bassett who was one of the ‘Founding Fathers’ of Winnetka as he served on its original Board of Trustees upon the incorporation of the village in 1869,” Guarino wrote.

“It was table talk for us,” Tim Kluchka said. “All of us were interested. We like the stories. We like to hear what the dinosaur days were about.” When Jerry Kluchka started fighting fires he said people would hang on to the outside of the trucks and use heavy air packs when entering a burning building. He said when his sons

go to a blaze, they all ride in an enclosed cab and the air packs are much lighter. “It gives us more energy to fight the fire,” Matt Kluchka said. All four men are paramedics. Tim, Matt and Russell said they all took EMT (emergency medical training) courses while in high school and were volun-

The granddaughter of a previous owner of the house attended the meeting. “Every time you lose an historic house you lose a part of Winnetka’s historic character,” Winifred Hayes said to the Landmark Preservation Commission. Hayes’ grandparents purchased the Bassett House in 1926 and raised three children there, eventually selling the home in 1956. Hayes lived in the house until she was four years old, after which she was raised in another house in Winnetka. She now lives in Lake Forest. The preservation commissioners’ hands were tied when it came to protecting the house from being torn down. Winnetka and Kenilworth are two communities with the weakest landmark preservation laws on the North Shore, Lisa Dichiera, director of advocacy at Landmarks Illinois, told Daily North Shore. Kenilworth has no landmark preservation ordinance, she said, adding that “in Winnetka we have an ordinance but there are no teeth.” In addition to the HAIS requirement, Winnetka’s preserva-

tion ordinance permits the commissioners to delay demolition by two months if it’s possible someone may step in to save the house. But Dichiera said the time frame should be at least six months, which allows more time for a potential deal to be worked out. Dichiera also noted that while homes in Winnetka may receive local landmark status, that designation will not protect a home from demolition under the ordinance. Dichiera said that while the Preservation Commission does educational outreach and the members are concerned citizens, they have “no tool to actually protect those resources.” Indeed, Hayes expressed her disappointment in Winnetka’s preservation ordinance. “I wish I could get the citizens of Winnetka to get a stronger ordinance like the one we have in Lake Forest,” she told the Preservation Commission. Instead, Winnetka residents will need to accept that another piece of the village’s history is going to be lost. “I just think it is a very sad day in Winnetka that this house is coming down,” Hayes said.

teering in their teens. There were times classes gave way to lifesaving. “There were times I ditched school to go on an ambulance call,” Tim Kluchka said. “I’d come in for the last periods (of the day) and got some looks.” “My wife got some calls about that,” Jerry Kluchka added. Though the younger genera-

There were times classes gave way to lifesaving. tion of Kluchkas is full-time firemen, Jerry Kluchka is a volunteer and has to find another way to earn his living. He said that became critical when the economy went in the wrong direction nine years ago and that he did not see a future in construction.

The business still had a major asset, real estate on Highway 41 just north of town, which once housed G W Mahler, according to Jerry Kluchka. He and his family turned it into the Hot Shot Ice Arena and it became his full-time occupation along with his wife and the boys’ mother, Becky Kluchka. For the sons, the ice rink is a part-time job. “All the boys played hockey,” Jerry Kluchka said. “The Falcons (where the boys played) said they needed ice time. They told us how much they needed and we turned (the building) into the ice arena.” “Matt was a real good hockey player,” Tim Kluchka said. Matt Kluchka said he had two career dreams as a teen, playing professional hockey and joining a fire department. “I’m not playing hockey,” he said. But that’s OK. He said that even if the Chicago Blackhawks offered him a contract today he is not certain he would leave the Lake Forest department for the NHL. “If I could play for them for five years or so I’m not sure what I would do,” Matt Kluchka said. “I’d be making more money but there are more important things.” All four agreed saving a life was at the top of that list.

SMALL GESTURES OF LOVE

sounds simple enough, and the Internet is full of inexpensive, schmaltzy ways to celebrate. But Proust advised us, “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” I called on readers in April to tell me how they appreciate their spouses, or are made to feel appreciated at home. Reader Yvonne Wolf wrote about how her husband planned a night out for them. He cooked dinner for the children, arranged for a favorite uncle to babysit, and took her out for dinner and an activity they both enjoyed. And though she was initially annoyed to come home and find the children not in bed, their homework still unfinished, a few days separation gave her some perspective. “It takes time sometimes to realize what to be appreciative of,” she wrote. In an unrelated column this fall I asked readers to share with me the small gestures that remind them of how much they are loved by their partner. This came after a knucklehead in Idaho carted a full-size grill miles through a protected forest to propose to his girlfriend. Reader Tracy Sachman, in follow-up columns that filled married for 42 years, posted on this space throughout the year. www.dailynorthsore.com that And today I’ll share a few more her husband leaves her a short of my favorites still in my inbox. note every morning. “Whether April was National Couple it’s reminding me to do someAppreciation Month, established thing that day or just to say I love by a travel service to encourage you, it’s the way he does it that couples to do something special makes it so special and touching: to celebrate their relationship.

began two weeks ago a look back at 2015 – a pretty great year for this column. I heard from many readers with both complements and constructive criticism. Others shared personal experiences that made me smile. I relayed many of those stories

LOVE & MARRIAGE “Consider your spouse the most important thing in your life – more important than your job, your hobbies, or even your children.” –Kathy & Don Carlin picture of himself with whatever it is he has to say.” In July I wrote about gradually evolving love and online dating. A study from the University of Texas at Austin asked students to rate the romantic appeal of their opposite-sex classmates in order to assess how superficial we can be when we look for potential mates. It concluded that perceptions of mate value change the more that people spend time together. I suggested over the summer that this explained the popularity of online dating.

I heard in short order from reader Nancy Gaymon, who has been married for four years to a man she met online. “It certainly requires caution but the whole process is quite different from meeting someone in a party. You have a lot of facts right from the start which was overwhelming to me as you jump right to the reason you’re there, vs the usual small talk, get to know you stuff. My husband and I were in our 40s and not being bar-hoppers, etc., it was a nicer place to meet up.” But here we are in the new year, and so I’ll open it up with more

advice I received over the summer from the residents of Vi at the Glen. Several couples married longer than 40 years reflected on their experience and shared with me their best advice for newlyweds. Said Kathy and Don Carlin, married 54 years: “Consider your spouse the most important thing in your life – more important than your job, your hobbies, or even your children. If you hold back a little of yourself and do not fully commit at the outset to a long and loving relationship, you will be starting off on the wrong foot.”

In order to guarantee your success and satisfaction; follow the well-trodden advice rendered by thousands of successful home-owners and investors. Use these guidelines to prepare your mind for the process and outcome of buying a home. Adjust your Headspace to find your ideal Living-space.

First, you must concede that clichés are well circulated for good reason. Location, for example, is indeed of centrifugal importance when selecting and bidding on a home. Ask yourself before the process sucks you in; Do you like the area, and the schools? Does it have the important features you want? Where do you work, and how does the transportation scenario look? These things may seem secondary to aesthetics in the beginning, but in the long run they are the key factors in a happy life. Second, consider that not all amenities are created equal. Square footage can look very different depending on layout, and a pool in Arizona reaps far more return on investment than one in Michigan. Avoid disqualifying or unnecessarily seeking property based on stringent criteria. Otherwise you may find yourself either pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised. Third, keep an open mind, and always make decisions based on the future. A home is a huge purchase that requires care and patience. Carpet can be replaced, but the essence of a home is as fixed as your mortgage payment. Lastly, be realistic, trust your gut, and don’t get discouraged. You may have to look for some time before you locate that perfect home, but it is far better to look and remain optimistic than to settle and squirm under the burden of an unwanted mortgage. If a home does not “feel” right, trust yourself, and remember that this is a real-world decision, so holding out for the “deal of the century” is as fruitless as jumping at the first opportunity that comes along.

HEAR THE ROHRER Sophomore making plenty of noise as a first-year gymnast for New Trier BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

mma Jane Rohrer, wearing a New Trier leotard and an infectious smile, got zero points for shimmying here and wiggling there after one of her dismounts at a recent gymnastics meet. Judges probably missed the sophomore’s impromptu moves. Their attention was elsewhere, scribbling here and scratching there on their score sheets, heads buried in their collective task at hand: rate Rohrer’s gymnastics moves. Rohrer’s teammates and coaches did not miss her postroutine dance. “She made all of us laugh,” Trevians coach Jennifer Pistorius says. “Emma Jane is fun to watch. She’s also fun, silly. I love everything about Emma Jane. She’s not just an amazing gymnast; she’s also such a kind teammate.” It is all still so new for Rohrer, throwing and hitting gymnastics routines for her school. The Level 10 gymnast competed in only Level 10 meets as a freshman last winter. One of her good friends, New Trier senior Peyton Burns, did not come out for prep gymnastics until her sophomore year. Another one of her good friends, Loyola Academy senior Claire Sullivan, did not come out for prep gymnastics until her sophomore year. All three honed their gym games under Wilmette Gymnastics club coaches. “I absolutely love it,” Rohrer says of high school gymnastics. “The bonds are stronger than they are in club gymnastics. Everybody around me is close, so close. It’s like a family when we’re all together at meets and during practices. High school gymnastics … it’s more than scores and medals.” Judges determined scores, FANCY FLIGHT: Emma Jane Rohrer of the Trevians completes an aerial series on the balance beam and gymnasts received medals at the Chester Jones Invitational at Evanston.

tional at Evanston Township High School on Jan. 8. Rohrer exited the cramped gym with four prizes, three of the gold variety. She finished first in the all-around (36.775), first on vault (9.5) and first on the uneven bars (8.8) for runner-up New Trier (137.175, behind champion Maine South’s 140.4point showing). She settled for silver on floor exercise (9.325) but could not have been happier for the champion, senior Ana Dabrowski (9.4), in the event. Dabrowski, seventh in the all-around (33.75), is a Trevian. Or one of Rohrer’s brandnew “big sisters.” The addition of Rohrer, talented and vibrant, to the New Trier gymnastics program has tempered, somewhat, the harsh news the program had to accept after New Trier’s season opener on Dec. 3. Burns suffered a broken left heel during the warm-up session at Maine East. Trevians freshman Zoey Spangler incurred a serious knee injury during the meet. Both are likely season-ending injuries. Pistorius, also a Wilmette Gymnastics club coach, is hopeful Burns will recover enough to at least attempt a watered-down bars routine at a regional meet next month. “We walked out of that school, together, on crutches,” Burns, half-smiling, half-wincing, recalls. Burns and Rohrer and Sullivan, a Rambler from Wilmette, rode in a car, together, for miles and miles as Wilmette Gymnastics cohorts during their club days. Total miles: too many to tabulate. They ate dinners together. Total bites: too many to tabulate. “I’ve known [Rohrer] since she was a first-grader,” Burns says. “I’ve always considered her to be like a baby sister.” The bib comes off at gymnastics meets. The Gerber jar gets

tightened, shoved out of sight. Rohrer is a serious gymnast, capable of nailing judge-wowing and crowd-pleasing routines. Younger gymnasts want to do what she does when they’re older, taller. Peers wish they could do what she does … today. Rohrer performs her most difficult tricks on bars but scores higher on vault — “My least favorite event,” she says, chuckling — than on any of the other three events. Her 9.5 vault (Tsuk pike) at Evanston last weekend was her second such mark in the event this winter. “Emma Jane makes everything look really easy,” Spangler says. Rohrer swatted shots for the New Trier freshman badminton team last spring. A smash on the courts, a smash atop the mats. Rohrer, Rohrer. The fan of racket sports prefers badminton to tennis. “A tennis racket,” she says, “is clunky compared to a badminton racket. Clearing … yes, I like clearing in badminton. I like hitting something. Badminton allows me to do that.” She hits in gymnastics, too. Hits her routines. Often. Notable: Seniors Claire Hartman and Lauren Chung, junior Ally Smith and sophomores Caroline Hartman and Ilana Spitz also competed for New Trier at last weekend’s Chester Jones Invitational at Evanston. Trevians senior Taylor Kwok rested her sore back. Loyola Academy The Ramblers’ lone representative at the Evanston Invite last weekend, senior Claire Sullivan, placed fourth on beam (9.3) and tied two others for fifth place on the uneven bars (8.3). She finished 10th on beam at the state meet last winter.

THE ‘IN’ GAME

Highland Park’s Fleisher fulfills tall order by posting solid numbers in the paint BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

ach Fleisher might be a little misplaced playing the center position. A tad — or maybe, two tads — under 6-foot, the effervescent Highland Park High School senior just doesn’t look the part. But Fleisher has found ways to compensate. Watch him closely and he’ll get your vote for Mr. Ingenuity. He’s innovative in the paint. Smart. Clever. Cunning. He’s got the guile to get it done. Being a master of the ball fake — and the head fake — and being able to deftly go to his right or his left to score the ball, Fleisher has license to improvise. He’s a trial and error guy, when he gets the ball down low. “He plays big,” said HP head coach Paul Harris, following his team’s 48-31 setback to host Maine West on Jan. 8. “He’s plays a lot bigger than his stature.” So far, Fleisher has been a pretty good fit underneath. During the first 13 games of the season, Fleisher leads the 3-10 Giants in scoring (10.2 per game) and rebounding (4.9). He’s shooting 58 percent from the field and 71 percent from the foul line. He was a bright spot — 11 points and 11 rebounds — in HP’s loss to Maine West. Being relentless on the boards is part of his deal. He’s a battler, who’s not afraid to get physical. He goes after rebounds with a vengeance. “Go for the ball and rip it down as hard as I can. That’s what I try to do,” said Fleisher, who tallied four points and five rebounds in the third quarter at MW. “I don’t care who is in the area. I go for it.” And he’s not afraid of floor burns. “I love diving for loose balls [see photo on this page from the Highland Park-Deerfield game last month],” Fleisher said. “That’s my game. That’s how I was taught.” “He always plays hard,” said HP sophomore Ziv Tal, who tallied 11 points against the Warriors. “He always gives his best effort.”

Fleisher traces his success as an inside player back to his days with the Highwood Small Fry — a program with age and height restrictions. All players must be under 12 years old and no taller than 5-1. “Coach (Verne) Reich put me at the five,” Fleisher said. “And I embraced the role.” It was an adjustment. A point guard and two-guard prior to Small Fry, Fleisher had to shift to center and develop “big man” skills. He now has spin moves and drop steps down pat. Meanwhile, being a team leader came a little more natural

for Fleisher. He not afraid to use his vocal cords. In fact, he’s the undeniable quarterback on this HP squad. “He’s out there directing traffic and calling out screens,” said Harris. “And he handles that role well.” Fleisher also is not afraid to be … hard on himself. “He’s his own toughest critic,” said Harris. “I need to pick him up more than I need to get on him. “He’s still learning that he doesn’t need to put the weight of the world on his shoulders,”

the coach added. “But he wants to do well. He wants to please. The whole team is like that.” Fleisher took the loss at Maine West hard. It was a winnable game. The Giants led after one period and trailed by two points at intermission. But then, Maine West unleashed its three-point shooting game. The Warriors made seven of their 11 threes in the second half. Julian Dones hit five from beyond the arc to end up with a game-high 23 points. “This one is on me,” said Fleisher. “Tonight’s game might have turned out differently, if

we would’ve done a better job of communicating. We needed to talk more. We needed to adjust to their shooters. No one should be left wide open. “We put a lot of focus on defense,” he added. “Good defense leads to good offense.” Being seven games under .500 is tough. “Coach Harris always tells us not to focus on the record,” said Fleisher. “He wants us to just play Highland Park Basketball. “We’re just trying to get better every time we take the floor,” he added.

Notable: Hallvard Lundevall, a 2015 HP grad, has made a verbal commitment to play basketball and football at Division III Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Lundevall (6-4, 185) currently is enrolled at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. He played club basketball for Fundamental U. … David Sachs has appeared in 11 of 13 games for Division II Barry University (13-2) in Florida. The freshman point guard (6-1, 180), a threeyear all-league selection for the Giants, is averaging 5.7 minutes per game. He’s 4-for-11 from three-point range.

GUNG HO Pumped-up Guenther progressing steadily for Ramblers BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

e is still a good 200 pounds shy of qualifying to make an appearance on “The Biggest Loser,” the TV reality show/weight-loss competition. Determined and obese folks, with help from trainers, vie to lose the most weight and win the most money. Loyola Academy junior swimmer Nathaniel Guenther stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 135 pounds. Not too long ago, freshman year, he stood 5-3 and weighed enough to fit comfortably inside a standard-size envelope, no extra postage required. “Every year, since his freshman year, he’s gotten bigger, stronger,” Ramblers swim coach Mike Hengelmann says. “We were just talking about that, about his growth from year to year, about the extra time he is spending in the weight room. Nathaniel goes at it in practice, hard. He attacks practices. Very good work ethic. “He keeps progressing,” the coach adds, this time referring to Guenther’s development as a swimmer. Guenther, a Des Plaines resident and Lattof YMCA swim club member, was a 100-yard backstroker and 200 IMer for the Ramblers last winter. He trimmed four seconds off his seed time in the 100 back at a sectional meet, thanks to an effective taper, but missed advancing to the state meet in the event. Swim times go on diets, too. His main events this winter are the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke. Before LA’s winter break last month, Guenther’s had already swum a faster time in the 200 IM (2:02.19) than he had in a sectional last season. Progress. Early progress. Guenther ran for his middle school cross country teams. He completed triathlons before the start of his Loyola Academy days. His sport, his thing, is swimming these days. “I find myself talking about swimming all the time,” Guenther, a swimmer since the age of six, says. “I grew up with it. I write essays about it. When I get an assignment at school, asking for

draining months. “Nathaniel is pretty quiet, goes about his business, and he’s having a really strong season,” Hengelmann says. “A great kid to coach.” Notable: Ramblers senior Chris Kearney placed third in the 200 free (1:46.16) and fourth in the 100 free (48) at the Evanston Invite last weekend.

a narrative, I usually write about swimming. Swimming takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, a commitment to early-morning practices. My mom [Cindi] … she knows; she drove me to all of my practices and meets when I was young.” You listen to Guenther. You hear his appreciation for his mom’s availability to taxi him to and from pools, sometimes before breakfast, sometimes after dinner. Cindi never swam competitively. She does, though, deserve some kind of medal, her son’s sentiments suggest. “My mom,” Nathaniel says, “was there for me when I was little, always willing to support me as a swimmer.”

The Evanston Invitational is a big meet. Guenther and the rest of Hengelmann’s Ramblers swam in the 51st version of it on Jan. 9, finishing ninth (2,480 points) in a highly competitive field of 18 teams. Guenther touched 13th in the 200 IM (2:03.69) and 18th in the 100 breaststroke (1:03.94) and helped LA’s 400 freestyle relay place ninth (3:20.93, with junior Danny McGowan and seniors Walter Haracz and Chris Kearney). Guenther, senior Max Ashurst and juniors Zachary Holecek and Donovan Crowe combined for a time of 1:46.45 (12th place) in the 200 medley relay. Guenther has not tasted a state berth at the prep level. He is close,

sniffing distance, to state-qualifying status in the 100 breaststroke. His seed time in the event at Evanston last weekend was 1:01.75. The state-qualifying standard in the event is 1:00.53. The Niles North Sectional, Loyola Academy’s pre-state assignment, will be held in a little more than a month (Feb. 20), plenty of time for Guenther to work on starts, turns, technique. Memories of his splendid taper in 2015 haven’t faded. Another plus: illness, every swimmer’s bugaboo, probably won’t grip him again this winter; Guenther recovered from two bouts in the first half of the season. Got them out of the way. “I’ve always thought the

breaststroke is the easiest of the strokes,” Guenther says, adding a powerful kick, not an easy asset to develop, separates the decorated breaststrokers from the unadorned breaststrokers. “Think about it … the breaststroke is like paddling, and it’s a natural motion.” The easier of his names to utter, Guenther, is the one his teammates usually use to get his attention or address him. It has two syllables, one more than Nathan-iel has. The easygoing Nathaniel Guenther doesn’t mind hearing his surname often. It’s a grueling sport, swimming. Swimmers conserving energy is a good thing, especially during December and January, the season’s

New Trier New Trier’s swim team edged runner-up Neuqua Valley 2,8902,878 for the Evanston Invite title last weekend. Sophomore Charlie Scheinfeld earned one of the Trevians’ two event championships, needing only 58.9 seconds to better 35 others in the 100 breaststroke. Classmate Patrick Gridley (53.64) swam a meet-best 53.64 in the 100 backstroke. Scheinfeld also was a part of two runner-up relays: 200 medley (1:38.96), 400 free (3:14.28). Sophomore Ryan Gridley, junior Phillip Srivastava and senior Riley Mech joined Scheinfeld in the former; Patrick Gridley, senior Danny Brooks and Patrick Drake swam the other legs for the 400 free unit. Brooks anchored the Trevians’ 200 free crew to a third-place showing (1:30.46), following legs from senior Willie Kinsella, Mech and Scheinfeld. Ryan Gridley added third-place points in the 100 back (54.01) and touched fourth in the 200 IM (2:00.25). Brooks’ fifth-place time of 22.44 in the 50 free was a tad slower than his seed time (22.43). Lake Forest High School Scouts junior Dylan Boyd topped the 200 free and 100 butterfly fields at the Evanston Invite on Jan. 9, highlighting his team’s 11th-place showing (2,329 points). He clocked a 1:42.13 in the 200 free and a 51.05 in the 100 fly. Boyd also teamed up with classmates Kevin Donahue and Wyatt Foss and senior Michael Hambleton for a 1:33.16 (10th place) in the 200 free relay.

Lake Forest: Scouts senior forward Lorenzo Edwards scored his team’s first 13 points and finished with 31 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks in LF’s 48-41 defeat of visiting Warren on Jan. 8. Junior guard Justin McMahon (four points, four rebounds, four assists) hit a three-pointer in the final minute of the first quarter for the first points from a Scout not named Lorenzo Edwards. The hosts led 26-17 at the half and survived a 12-0 Blue Devils run in the fourth quarter. Warren limited LF to five points in the final frame. The most entertaining moment in the game had to be the second of Edwards’ two dunks, performed at the 1:24 mark of the third quarter. Scouts reserve guard Connor Hanekamp shoved a perfect alley-oop pass to Edwards, who jumped, gripped the ball briefly with his left hand and threw the ball emphatically through the net. The sequence was ’Zo good. The home crowd roared. The 6-foot-8 Edwards (13-for-20 from the field, including a pair of treys) had poured in 30 of LF’s first 41 points. Scouts reserve forward Reed Thomas, a 6-foot4 junior, drew three offensive fouls and hit the floor again while forcing another Blue Devils turnover (traveling). He finished with five points and two rebounds. On Jan. 5, two of the best players in the North Suburban Conference — Lake Forest’s Edwards and Stevenson’s 6-7 Justin Smith — went at it. Edwards guarded Smith. Smith guarded Edwards. And the winner was … too close to call. The two Division I prospects basically played to a draw in a game won by host Stevenson 50-40. The left-handed Edwards wound up with 15 points, 14 rebounds, two blocks and two assists for the Scouts (7-6, 1-3). The right-handed Smith produced 12 points, eight rebounds, five blocks, two assists and four steals for the Patriots (9-4, 3-1). Meanwhile, Hanekamp arguably had his best of the year. The junior guard came off the bench to tally eight points. Teammate Matt Begley had seven points, while Brian Stickler pulled down five rebounds. Loyola: The Ramblers dropped to two games under .500 (7-9, 4-2) with their 38-26 setback to visiting De La Salle on Jan. 8. Will Plodzeen finished the game with a team-high seven points. Ramar Evans had a team-best eight rebounds. New Trier: The Trevians are on a roll. They’ve won three in a row to even their record to 7-7. NT’s latest win came on Jan. 9, when the Trevians downed visiting Buffalo Grove 59-41. Aaron Peltz led the team with 14 points. Andrew Kirkpatrick scored 10 points.

NT’s most impressive win of the season came on Jan. 8, when the Trevians went on the road and knocked off state-ranked Maine South 40-26. Will Nicolaides led the charge by scoring a teamhigh 15 points. Seniors Tino Malnati and Colin Winchester finished with nine points each.

AT COURTSIDE | GIRLS BASKETBALL Lake Forest: Highlighted by the play of Delaney Williams, the Scouts have won three in row. The LF junior guard poured in 24 points in her team’s 59-56 victory at Highland Park on Jan. 9. Williams, who connected on 10 of 19 shots, also had seven steals and four assists for the Scouts (6-12). Maeve Summerville was another big producer: 19 points, six rebounds and two blocks. Audrey Kaus went 4-for-4 from the field (8 points) to go along with three assists. On Jan. 5, Williams filled the stat sheet — 20 points, nine steals, seven rebounds, two assists — in her LF’s 47-29 victory over visiting Round Lake. She hit two three-pointers, while teammate Maeve Summerville made three threes on her way to 13 points. Summerville also had eight rebounds and five assists. Lake Forest Academy: The Caxys improved to 9-0 with a 65-25 victory over host U-High on Jan. 8. Tessy Onwuka led all scorers with 25 points. Aleeya Sawyer added 15 points. Loyola: Liz Satter came up with a double double as the host Ramblers topped Niles North 56-41 on Jan. 9. Satter put 17 points and 10 rebounds in the book for the Ramblers (11-5). Junior Clare Nelson also scored in double digits (10). The other stat leaders were Madison Kane (7 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists), Mary Cormier (6 points, 7 steals, 5 rebounds, 3 assists), Erin Dowdle (6 points, 3 assists) and Julia Martinez (6 assists). On Jan. 7, LA downed host St. Ignatius 47-28 victory. Satter (12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals), Cormier (11 points, 4 rebounds) and Dowdle (8 points) led the way. Martinez finished the game with four assists and two steals. New Trier: After topping visiting Evanston 55-24 on Jan. 8 to run their league reacord to 5-0, the Trevians fell to Hersey 48-46 in the Chicagoland Showcase Invitational at Fremd on Jan. 9. NT placed three players in double figures: Boehm (18), Kalis (13) and Pedi (12). Kalis and Pedi made three three-pointers each. Boehm was 6-for-8 at the foul line. The Huskies outscored New Trier 21-7 in the final frame and won the game on a late three-pointer. It was New Trier’s first loss to an Illinois team this season. The Trevians are 15-4 overall. Against Evanston, Boehm led NT with 17 points. Pedi tallied 11 points, while Kalis and Alison Borsotti had seven points each. Maggie Murdock chipped in six points.

designed it to provide the young participants—who are juniors and seniors in high school—with a leadership experience. In so doing, it allows teens to “develop team-working skills, boost their confidence, and [gives] them a greater sense of community and social responsibility …in a non-competitive environment,” according to a statement on the official website. “It’s all well and good for our students to get on stage and do a show, but the idea was to be something more than that,” says Sowle who says there has been a push in recent years to reorganize Brillianteen as a totally student-driven enterprise. “We recognized that they are also capable of choreographing, designing sets and organizing the lighting and stage crew. They put together the schedule, pick the theme of the show and hold the meetings,” she continues, “and that’s a great experience for a kid. They’ve been our main recruiters who pass it down every year. For the most part these are not theatre kids and they walk

away feeling like they found their passion.” In fact, there have been some notable alumni to come from the program including Broadway actress Katie Hanley who, after working in Brillianteen in the ‘60s, went on to star in the original Great White Way productions of Godspell and Grease. There’s also Mark Moses, the screen and television actor who has appeared in Platoon and Homeland, among others. “We’ve been reaching out to a lot of the past performers,” says Sowle in an effort to get everyone together for one last final goodbye during the March performances that intends to feature new and old in a compilation of many of the shows that Brillianteen has put on over the past six decades. “We struggled all summer with what show to do and finally decided the only way to [end it] would be with numbers from our best shows,” says Sowle, noting there has been “about 100” productions of Guys and Dolls, Footloose, The Wiz, even the more recent Disney-geared High School Musical. “The idea is culmination,” she says. “We want one big party to send it off.” For more information and tickets, visit mcgawymca.org.
