Spooktacular combines nature, Halloween and community 

Alyssa Groh, Editor 

Despite one of the coldest 

days of the year thus 

far, community members 

of all ages braved the 

cold and spooky sights of 

Elawa Farm for the annual 

Spooktacular on Oct. 28. 

“The purpose of the 

Spooktacular is to celebrate 

Halloween and get kids in 

the spirit (for the holiday),” 

said Natalie Moore, the 

director of events and programs 

at Elawa Farm. 

When the event began 

three years ago, it was 

geared towards youngsters 

but also with a goal 

of getting families to 

come out to Elawa Farm. 

During the planning of 

the annual event this 

year, Moore and her staff 

thought back to the farm’s 

Fiona Hooker and her dad Brady, of Lake Bluff, decorate potatoes at Elawa Farm 

Spooktacular on Oct. 28. CARLOS ALVAREZ/22ND CENTURY MEDIA 

first days of existence. 

“This year’s Spooktacular 

is important to us 

because we are celebrating 

our centennial year,” 

Moore said. “Our thought 

process has been ‘back in 

1917 what was going on 

here?’ [Families and children] 

came out here on the 

weekends. They had horses 

and would go horseback 

riding and go on sleigh 

rides. They were definitely 

letting the kids get back 

into nature. There were a 

lot of outdoor pursuits.” 

Staying with the theme 

of nature, Elawa Farm 

hosted a Spooktacular with 

most of its events taking 

place outside, in nature. 

During the event children 

decorated potatoes with 

vegetables, got their nails 

done with spooky deigns, 

drank apple cider and ate 

doughnuts. Brave children 

even stuck their hands into 

box of mystery where they 

had to guess what it was 

they were feeling. 

As attendees walked 

further into Elawa Farm, 

children participated in 

sack races and a witches 

toss before reaching one of 

the main attractions — the 

petting zoo and pony rides. 

New this year was the 

hay bale crawl, which 

Moore says was a huge 

hit. The hay bale crawl 

contained stacks of hay 

bales where children could 

climb and run all over the 

bales. By the end of the 

event Moore said the hay 

bales were a disaster. 

There was even a Boo 

Bopper to help get kids in 

the Halloween spirit. 

Some students even 

took advantage of a fortune 

teller that was set up 

inside Moore’s office. 

Despite the cold October 

day, Moore said more 

than 300 people came out 

for the event. 

“Nobody seemed to care 

how cold it was, everyone 

dressed for the weather,” 

Moore said. “[The Spooktacular] 

keeps growing and 

is getting better every year. 

It was a success for Elawa 

Farm.” 

Be grateful for the 

little things in life. 

One day you may 

find that they were 

the big things in life.

Township to help with ACA enrollment 

Xavier Ward 

Contributing Editor 

If you 

plan on enrolling 

in 

the federal 

marketplace 

for health 

insurance, 

don’t let the Bassi 

holidays 

distract you this year, Moraine 

Township Supervisor 

Anne Flanigan said. 

The reason is this year 

the enrollment window 

shrunk by more than half. 

Those who need federal 

health insurance under the 

Affordable Care Act (ACA) 

for 2018 will need to complete 

their enrollment by 

Dec. 15 or will lose the opportunity 

to enroll. 

Previously, recipients 

had until Jan. 31 to enroll. 

The marketplace opened 

Nov. 1. 

From Nov. 4 

Attempted armed robbery suspect sought in Lake Bluff 


Lake Bluff Police Officers 

responded to a report 

of attempted armed robbery 

at 11:17 a.m. on Saturday, 

Nov. 4, at the Carriage 

Way Shopping Plaza 201- 

235 S. Waukegan Road, 

according to a press release 

from the Lake Bluff Police 

Department. 

A 33-year-old female was 

walking from the shopping 

plaza to her vehicle when 

a white male approached 

her. The man attempted 

to grab the victim’s purse, 

but the victim was able to 

pull away. The suspect then 

produced a knife and demanded 

the purse. The victim 

began yelling and was 

able to run away without 

physical injury. 

The suspect was last seen 

running northbound from 

the Carriage Way Shopping 

Plaza, possibly on Thorn 

Tree Lane toward W. Washington 

Avenue, according to 

the release. Lake Bluff and 

Lake Forest police, along 

with a canine from the Lake 

Country Sheriff’s Department 

searched the area until 

12:55 p.m. As of press time, 

Monday, Nov. 6, the suspect 

still had not been located. 

The male suspect is described 

as approximately 5 

feet 8 inches tall, slim build, 

wearing a dark hoody and 

pants. If anyone has any 

information, call the Lake 

Bluff Police Department at 

(847) 234-2151. 

If you need help enrolling, 

Moraine Township 

has a team of volunteers 

who will guide you 

through enrolling. 

In August the Associated 

Press reported that the 

Trump administration announced 

it would slice the 

ACA budget for advertising 

enrollment periods from 

$100 million to $10 million. 

Additionally, it cut funds for 

“navigators,” such as the 

ones Moraine Township is 

offering, by 40 percent. 

Moraine Township has 

offered this service for a 

number of years and works 

in conjunction with the 

Lake County Health Deparment, 

Bassi said. 

Enrollment is available 

online, too, Bassi said. An 

additional change put in 

place is the website will 

close for maintenance on 

Sundays, she added. 

“If you are income eligible 

Lake Bluff Police are searching for a suspect involved 

in an attempted armed robbery that took place on 

Saturday, Nov. 4. The suspect is pictured on the right of 

this surveillance photo. Photo Submitted 

you may qualify for subsidies,” 

Bassi said. “It’s based 

on (an income) threshold.” 

Each year the township 

sees less people working 

with volunteers to enroll, 

she said. The township has 

assisted more than 1,000 

people in the four years it 

has run this program. 

Bassi also noted that the 

township will work with 

anyone, whether they are 

residents of the township 

or not. 

“We’re happy to have 

them meet with one of our 

councilors,” she said. 

The services are free. 

Bassi reiterated that it has 

to be done by Dec. 15. 

On Oct. 23 Bassi went 

before the Highland Park 

City Council to remind 

them of this program, she 

said. She did the same with 

Highwood. 

“Our concern is that every 

year people have had 

until Jan. 31,” she said. 

The Trump administration 

has not released a 

statement on why it decided 

to cut outreach funding 

and shrink the enrollment 

period, but Highland Park 

City Councilman Anthony 

Blumberg has an idea. 

“Trump has taken it upon 

himself to make (the ACA) 

fail,” Blumberg said. 

By shortening the enrollment 

period, Blumberg 

believes that Trump is attempting 

to stifle enrollment 

numbers and create 

“false statistics.” 

“It is an effort intentionally 

to create a self-fulfilling 

prophecy,” he said. 

By slashing the outreach 

budget and lessening 

people’s awareness of the 

time window, Trump may 

be able to point to lessened 

enrollment numbers to 

claim the program is fail-

The Great Pumpkin Contest 

Bourdo family carves award-winning pumpkin 


Every year The Leader 

hosts a variety of contest for 

Lake Forest and Lake Bluff 

residents. This time around, 

we asked residents to take 

pictures of their creative 

jack-o’-lanterns as part of 

our Great Pumpkin Carving 

contest. 

As always, we received a 

variety of submissions, but 

only one can come out on 

top. 

This year the Bourdo 

family won the contest with 

their submission of a carving 

of a giant pumpkin. 

Julie Bourdo said carving 

intricate faces into 30- to 

40-pound pumpkins has run 

in her family since she was 

a little girl. Growing up, 

Bourdo watched her dad use 

clay sculpting tools to carve 

faces into large pumpkins, 

and when she was in fifth 

grade she began helping 

her dad. Since then she has 

carried on the tradition with 

her own family. 

The large pumpkins are 

always three dimensional 

and are carved into the 

shape of the pumpkin because 

pumpkins are never 

perfectly round, she explained. 

Bourdo said she always 

carves the pumpkins the 

night before Halloween. 

This year it took her approximately 

four hours to carve 

the pumpkin. 

To thank Bourdo for all of 

her hard work and to recognize 

her for the impressive 

sculpting skills, Sauced Pizza 

has donated a gift card. 

Julie Bourdo used clay sculpting tools to carve this 

three-dimensional design into a large pumpkin.

ing, Blumberg said. 

While it may be invisible 

to the blind eye, Blumberg 

said there are a number of 

people in Highland Park 

who rely on federally subsidized 

healthcare. While 

the city has services to aid 

income constrained families, 

they could go without 

insurance if they miss the 

enrollment window. 

“I have actively, to 

the extent that I am able, 

posted on social media and 

made it clear the enrollment 

period is limited,” he 

said. He has encouraged 

others to undertake similar 

efforts to raise awareness. 

He called the actions 

by the current administration 

“malicious” and said 

the first priority should be 

making sure people have 

health insurance.

The Lake 

Forest 

Leader to 

stay free 

Thank you to our loyal 

readers 

Staff Report 

Thanks to all the Lake Forest 

and Lake Bluff residents who formally 

requested the newspaper, 

The Lake Forest Leader will remain 

free of charge. 

Because of these diligent residents, 

The Leader qualified and 

was recently approved for second-class 

mail status by the U.S. 

Postal Service. One of the requirements 

of the USPS to attain 

this status is that more than half 

the homes in the community sign 

a card requesting the publication. 

The Leader’s qualification for 

this vaunted status means Lake 

Forest and Lake Bluff residents 

will receive their Leader on time 

with priority service and that the 

postal costs for The Leader have 

been greatly reduced, thereby allowing 

the paper to remain free. 

If you are one of the residents 

who has not returned an official 

and do not want to rely on the 

good graces of your neighbors 

or have had the delivery of your 

paper discontinued, you can still 

do your part at LakeForestLeader. 

com/delivery. 

If you are unsure about whether 

you returned your card, contact 

our circulation professionals 

at (708) 326-9170, and they can 

check the mailing list. 

Thank you again to our loyal 

readers for embracing The Leader 

and the excellent participation 

in our program to keep The Leader 

free. Even more good news is 

that we will not have to ask you 

for help again until 2019, when 

the requests expire and the USPS 

will ask us to repeat the process. 

Pedal Power hits decade mark of bike collecting 

Kiddles Sports in Lake 

Forest donates to 

Chicagoland schools 

Alexa Burnell, Freelance Reporter 

In 2007, Wilmette’s Nicole 

Basil decided she wanted to 

help students from inner city 

schools. She created Pedal Power, 

an organization that collects 

used bikes and donates them to 

Chicagoland schools. 

The New Trier senior will be 

standing outside McKenzie Elementary 

to collect bikes on Saturday, 

Nov. 11, for the last time 

before she heads off to college 

next fall. 

Basil’s story begins 10 

years ago, when at the young 

age of 8, she faced the tough 

task of giving away her outgrown 

bike. Saddened by the 

thought, she came up with a solution 

to ease her woes. 

“I thought ‘what if my bike 

could go to someone who really 

needed it, and loved it as much 

as I have,’” she said. 

This incident sparked the creation 

of Pedal Power, and since 

then, more than 3,000 bikes

LF man touched lives through music, real estate and philanthropy 

Alan P. Henry, Freelance Reporter 

Robert Reaumond, 

of Lake 

Forest, who had 

an impactful presence 

in the Chicago 

commercial 

real estate community 

for 35 Reaumond 

years, and before that was a professional 

musician who toured 

with four Rock & Roll Hall of 

Fame inductees, died Oct. 26 at 

age 59. 

After graduating from Oak 

Park-River Forest High School, 

Reaumond spent the late 1970s 

have been collected and donated. 

The two main recipients are 

the students of Cesar Chavez 

Multicultural Academic Center, 

where bikes are used as a reward 

for those who make honor roll, 

and North Side Learning Prep, 

where students with significant 

intellectual disabilities use old 

bike parts as instructional tools. 

Running Pedal Power has 

helped Basil hone business 

skills at an early age. She has 

fearlessly cold-called businesses, 

securing sponsorships along 

the way. A few years back, she 

even struck a deal with Home 

Depot in Evanston, who agreed 

to become a year-long donation 

site. Most recently, Basil has 

partnered with Divvy Bikes, 

who will help with publicity and 

the transportation of donated 

bikes. In addition, Pedal Power 

has expanded, adding two new 

collection sites in Libertyville 

and Elmhurst. 

“Creating Pedal Power has 

been such a wonderful experience,” 

Basil said. “I’ve learned 

basic organization and communications 

skills, and how to 

be persistent. The best part has 

and early 1980s as a professional 

pianist. When Hall of Famers 

Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little 

Anthony, and the Shirelles came 

to town to perform, they hired 

Reaumond. He also played with 

Tommy James. 

When Reaumond decided it 

was time to seek out steadier 

work, it wasn’t easy, said his 

son, Paul Reaumond. 

“He would tell stories about 

how no one would hire him, and 

about knocking on doors until 

finally someone gave him an opportunity. 

From there it was a 

rocket ship for him,” Paul Reaumond 

said. 

The Lake Forest resident 

joined CBRE, now the world’s 

largest commercial real estate 

services and investment firm, 

in 1982, and remained with the 

firm throughout his career, rising 

to the position of executive 

vice president. He represented a 

“Who’s Who” of major institutions 

and corporations, specializing 

in integrating the vertical 

services of CBRE to benefit the 

clients’ overall goals. One of 

the many facets of his work involved 

consulting with manufacturing 

firms moving to Mexico 

and Americanizing the process 

for them.

While Basil’s run here in Wilmette 

may be coming to an end,

“I’m considering starting a 

similar initiative wherever I end 

up for college, and hope to pursue 

a career as an engineer and 

use those skills to continue to 

make a difference in the lives of

Locally, she has enlisted family 

friends in Elmhurst to keep 

Pedal Power alive, and will pass 

the torch to fifth-grader Meg 

Erickson, who will take over in 

Wilmette. 

“I used to babysit [Meg] and 

she was always very interested 

in Pedal Power,” Basil said. 

“When she asked if she could 

help when I moved on to college, 

I knew all would be well. 

Meg is super perceptive of others

She also asks such great questions

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Hillary Clinton meets with 

fans at Winnetka book 

signing 

Chilly winds and the 

start of the work week were 

not enough to deter 1,000 

Hillary Clinton supporters 

from lining up around the 

block in downtown Winnetka 

on Oct. 30 as Clinton 

made a stop at The Book 

Stall during a Chicago trip 

to discuss her new memoir, 

“What Happened.” 

Lucky fans were able to 

secure their spots in line to 

briefly meet with the 2016 

Democratic presidential 

candidate and get a copy 

of Clinton’s book signed. 

Tickets, which were priced 

at $32.70, sold out within 

minutes on The Book 

Stall’s website the day the 

event was announced earlier 

last month. 

While Clinton did not 

grant any press interviews 

at the event — which was 

held nearly a year after her 

defeat to Donald Trump in 

the 2016 presidential election 

— she did have one 

thing to say in response to 

the day’s news of U.S. Justice 

Department Special 

Counsel Robert Mueller’s 

first indictments into the 

investigation into Russian 

election interference. 

“I have a great chapter 

about Russia in here,” 

Clinton told the press. 

In response to other reporter 

questions about the 

election dodged at her before 

the first guest came up to her 

table, Clinton added, “You 

can find out what happened 

and what’s still happening.”

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

New Flower Shop owner 

integrates business 

more into Glencoe 

It’s not all about the 

money for the new owner 

of The Flower Shop in 

Glencoe. 

“That’s not about why I 

bought this place,” Brooke 

Lawler said. “I’m really 

passionate about what I 

do. I really love it. I really 

want to promote local 

businesses through this.” 

With the change in 

ownership in September, 

Lawler is breathing new 

life into The Flower Shop, 

which first opened in 1981 

in the downtown Glencoe 

business district. 

The previous owner, 

Walter Radloff, a Winnetka 

native, bought the 

store in 1997 from the late 

North Shore florist Robert 

Livermore after it had 

already been around for 

about two decades. 

“It’s been a Glencoe 

staple,” Lawler said. “We 

have done really well. We 

have an amazing clientele 

that has kept us going 

throughout the years.” 

Lawler managed the 

store under Radloff for 

nine years and also served 

as the head designer. When 

he decided to retire, it was 

her time to step up. 

“[Radloff] decided he 

wanted to retire, and I decided 

I wanted a flower 

shop,” Lawler said. “Honestly, 

we talked about it for 

a few years and we made 

this work. I knew going 

into this that when he retired, 

I would want to own 

this place.”

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette Eagle 

Scout improves 

Thornwood 

Just north of Thornwood 

Park lies one of Wilmette’s 

most beautiful natural resources 

— the Thornwood 

Prairie Preserve and certified 

wildlife habitat area. 

Boy Scout Sean Crawford, 

17, knows it was not 

always this way. The trail, 

about three blocks long 

and 20-feet wide, was once 

overgrown with weeds and 

invasive species. 

Crawford, a Wilmette 

resident and New Trier 

senior, is among the many 

who have helped to bring 

the area back to its original 

beauty. Wildflowers native 

to Illinois are blooming 

again. There is also a welcome 

return of butterflies, 

birds and other wildlife, 

making the area a true 

wildlife habitat once more. 

“I have been here with 

my Boy Scout Troop 9 

since at least 2013 clearing 

out buckthorn and other invasive 

species,” Crawford 

said. “We all work together 

for a singular purpose 

but are responsible for one 

segment of the path. Mine 

was about 144-feet long.” 

This path is now known 

as the Eagle Scout Nature 

Trail. 

Crawford’s thoughts returned 

to the Thornwood 

Prairie Preserve and Wildlife 

Habitat when he started 

thinking of what service 

project he would like to do 

to obtain his Eagle Scout 

badge. He reached the Life 

Scout status and wanted 

to climb to that last rung 

of scouting. He thought 

of ways he and others had 

helped return the area back 

to what it once was. 

“I had helped pull up invasive 

ground cover that 

survives the winter cold,” 

Crawford said. “Then, there 

was spreading the wood 

chips the Village of Wilmette 

delivered to the area.”

Finding the good in a rough month 

Alyssa Groh 

alyssa@lakeforestleader.com 

One of the best 

parts about being 

a community 

journalist is being able to 

share all of the good news 

happening in the community. 

It is one of the 

main reasons I decided to 

become a journalist. 

The past few weeks I 

have found myself writing 

one breaking news story 

after the next. 

Two weeks ago I woke 

up to an email from the 

police about a shooting 

in Lake Forest that left a 

19-year-old man dead. I 

read the information many 

times to make sure I was 

reading it correctly. I just 

could not believe something 

like that happened in 

Lake Forest. A shooting. I 

was shocked. 

As a journalist, I expect 

to get breaking news 

about armed robberies or 

fires. But as a journalist 

for a community like Lake 

Forest, I never expected to 

get breaking news about a 

fatal shooting. 

Just days before that 

I was working on news 

out of Lake Bluff where 

someone spray painted 

racial symbols and words 

throughout the village. 

Once I heard the blunt 

details of what exactly 

was spray painted I was 

speechless. 

I understand the people 

who have committed 

these various acts may 

not have been residents 

of Lake Forest or Lake 

Bluff, and maybe they 

were just visiting. But 

that does not mean it does 

not have a long-lasting 

impact on us. These two 

stories have weighed 

heavily on me. I have 

spent a lot of time thinking 

about them, and trying 

to understand them. 

These two instances 

do not mean Lake Forest 

and Lake Bluff are bad 

communities. These two 

instances just mean we 

are going through a rough 

time. 

I think our communities 

are still filled with the 

same good people, who 

are doing amazing things. 

In these times of sorrow, 

anger and hurt I 

ask us all to support one 

another. Lift one another 

up and bring out the good 

in the community again.

Letter to the Editor 

Au contraire, Please do 

Chicken Out! 

The Chicken controversy 

appears to be registering 

with some people 

and even to Green Minds, 

LFLB, who implied a pilot 

program was operating. 

To be clear, there is no pilot 

program in Lake Bluff 

to regulate chickens and 

bees, only a draft. What 

should interest us is the 

intention and motive of 

Green Minds LFLB as advocates 

for chickens in our 

village. When I see phrases 

like; sustainable, socioeconomic, 

and environmental 

benefits, my antennae goes 

up. Are we running a village 

government or are we 

engaged in some sort of 

social experiment? 

Green Minds draws odious 

comparisons of our 

village to that of other 

communities; Chicago, 

hardly a model of competent 

government and a host 

of towns that are among the 

most affluent in the nation. 

Drawing comparisons 

of dogs and cats, to ducks 

and chickens strikes me as 

a stretch. Dogs and cats 

are indoor creatures easily 

trained while ducks 

and chickens are not. Let 

us also address a couple 

of other matters referenced 

by Green Minds. 

• Wild birds are not acquired 

property and cannot 

be regulated; they are 

unfortunately free to do as 

they please, think Canadian 

Geese. 

• The notion of freedom 

to do as one pleases on 

their own property is valid 

until it impacts a neighbor 

or the community. 

• Chickens are not benign, 

they are noisy, undomesticated 

creatures 

and in spite of the benefit 

of their waste as fertilizer, 

it smells and creates 

an undesirable by product 

requiring some sort of 

disposal solution from the 

village. 

• If certain individuals 

want or need to provide for 

themselves, I suggest they 

move to a rural community 

where property sizes are 

large enough to accommodate 

agricultural. 

I am not sure how chicken 

coops became a good idea, 

but what could possibly go 

wrong? Plenty, including 

neighbor to neighbor relationships, 

the cost, and burden 

of policing compliance 

with control ordinances. 

Then consider the slippery 

slope of what could be next; 

rabbits, a goat or sheep, a 

petting zoo. Finally, the decline 

in marketability and 

value of our homes. 

This is a bad idea from 

the beginning, has no place 

in the village and deserves 

a timely and dignified closure.

DEAR FRIENDS 

As the holidays approach, I have been 

reflecting on this past year when we 

have witnessed some of the greatest 

humanitarian crises of our time. Between 

devastating hurricanes to the south and 

wildfires on the west coast, so many lives 

have been affected. And many have lost 

everything – yet need to find the strength 

and courage to carry on. 

I have been blessed with a wonderful 

family, loyal staff and clientele. I would like 

to invite you all to participate with me in 

donating to the charity of your choice to help 

those around the world. 

We at Pascal pour Elle are giving a percentage

Exchange program at Woodlands immerses students in new culture 

Woodlands 

students visit sister 

school in Vienna 


In college, many students 

take advantage of 

choosing to study abroad 

for a semester, immersing 

themselves in new cultures 

and traveling to many different 

countries. For 12 

girls at Woodlands Academy, 

the chance to study 

abroad came before they 

even graduated college. 

Sophomores and juniors 

at Woodlands Academy 

embarked on a 10-day 

journey to Vienna, Austria, 

Sept. 28-Oct. 9 to visit 

their sister school, Sacré 

Coeur Wien, and learn 

about a new culture. 

“Because we are a Sacred 

Heart school we are 

part of a network of approximately 

130 schools 

and [students] can go on an 

exchange to other Sacred 

Heart schools,” said Amy 

Perlick, the director of 

global education at Woodlands 

Academy. “The 

purpose (of the exchange 

program) is to open up a 

dialogue between schools 

and students, and get them 

to look beyond their little 

bubble here and get them 

to look outside themselves.” 

Sophomore Annika 

Swanson and junior Genevieve 

Makowski were 

two of the 12 students who 

traveled to Vienna as part 

of the exchange program. 

Swanson and Makowski 

said they chose to go on 

this trip because they both 

have heard positive things 

about the trip. 

During the 10 days the 

students are in Vienna, 

they stay with host families 

and are immersed 

into the daily lives of the 

locals. The students went 

to Woodlands Academy’s 

sister school daily, and 

learned about some of 

the differences between 

schools in the U.S. and Vienna. 

Swanson said one of 

the biggest differences between 

the schools was that 

instead of students changing 

classes each period, 

the teachers were the ones 

who traveled from class to 

class. The American students 

were also very surprised 

to learn how much 

freedom the students in 

Vienna have. During free 

periods students are able 

to leave the school and 

explore the city, as long as 

they are back in time for 

class. 

During one of the classes, 

students learned how to 

make schnitzel, apple strudels 

and German potato 

salad, which Makowski 

said was quite an experience 

as she is not much of 

a cook. 

In Vienna many of the 

local students take weekly 

dance classes where they 

learn how to perform the 

Vietnamese waltz. The 

students there work for 

months on perfecting the 

dance and then perform it 

in January at a very formal 

grand ball. Woodlands 

Academy students stepped 

up to the challenge and took 

a dance lesson to learn the 

Vietnamese waltz. Both 

Swanson and Makowksi 

agreed the dance lessons 

were a unique experience 

that they enjoyed and may 

never get the chance to do 

again. 

As for seeing what life is 

like in a different culture, 

Makowski said she really 

enjoyed staying with her 

host family. 

“[Staying with my host 

family] was a wonderful 

experience, I felt right at 

home,” Makowski said. “I 

got to see how family life 

works in Vienna, it is very 

similar to here.” 

Makowski said traveling 

to a different country and 

staying with a host family 

instead of staying in a hotel 

helped her understand 

the country more 

“It is one thing to visit a 

country and see all of the 

tourist attractions ... I have 

gotten to see the tourist 

side of Europe, but to be 

able to live with a family 

and see the real side of Europe 

was a very cool experience,” 

she said. 

The students spent their 

time outside of classes going 

sightseeing. One of the 

most memorable sightseeing 

trips for the girls was 

going to the Belvedere 

Palace, where they saw 

art and went to an opera. 

There were also a few days 

where the students had no 

plans, which gave the host 

families the freedom to 

take students sightseeing 

where ever they wanted. 

Among all the things 

the students learned during 

their 10-day journey in 

Vienna, Swanson said one 

thing she will take away 

from the trip is global connectedness. 

“Going on this exchange 

it really opened my eyes 

to all the global connectedness 

we have and how 

I am aware of the other 

(sister) schools, but there 

is so much more I could do 

to be in touch and connect 

with the other students,” 

Swanson said. 

The trip made Makowski 

realize how large the 

world is. 

“I have traveled a lot 

before, but every time you 

get to see a new corner of 

the world you realize it 

is still a huge place. It is 

sometimes hard to think 

about the scale of it,” she 

said. 

The students from Vienna 

will travel to Lake 

Forest in March, when 

they will spend a week in 

the boarding school and a 

week with host families.

nominated in 1993,1997 

and 2001 as “Chicago Sun 

Times Broker of the Year” 

and won “Chicago Sun 

Times Office Broker of the 

Year” in 2002. During his 

first year in commercial 

sales, he was named “Broker 

of the Year” for highest 

income in the North Central 

Region of the United 

States. And even in the final 

days of his life, he was 

helping clients and working 

on a 120,000 square 

foot deal. 

“He dominated the real 

estate world for a long 

time,” Paul Reaumond 

said. 

But more than that, he 

left behind a lasting professional 

legacy of respect and 

warmth. More than 200 colleagues 

and clients wrote 

emails to the family expressing 

their condolences. 

“They said things like 

‘you became my friend,’ ‘I 

trusted you,’ ‘I loved you.’ 

One client said he used to 

call their daughter on Christmas 

and be Santa Claus,” 

Paul Reaumond said. 

Friend and colleague 

Sandy Collins remembered 

Reaumond as an inspirational 

presence in the office. 

“He was always positive, 

thoughtful and full of sage 

advice for me. I valued any 

opinion that I ever received 

from Bob. He was one of 

the most honorable people 

that I ever knew,” she posted 

online. 

He also possessed a keen 

sense of humor, she wrote. 

“I have never had more 

fun in my life than I did 

working with Bob. We did 

a bit every day at work 

based off of either SNL or 

‘Trading Places’ skits. He 

would come in the office 

and I would say “Looking 

good Louis” and he would 

answer “Feeling Good 

Todd,” she said. 

Reaumond and his wife 

Julie were married for 37 

years, and their love served 

as a role model for their 

four children, his son Tyler 

said. 

“He loved my mom more 

than I’ve seen any man 

love another woman and 

we have all learned from 

that in our relationships,” 

Tyler Reaumond said. 

As a father he was equally 

loving. 

“He always put us first. 

He was present at every 

sporting event. There 

wasn’t a day that went by 

when he didn’t say ‘I love 

you’ or ‘I’m proud of you,” 

Tyler Reaumond said. 

“He was just one of those 

guys who you instantly 

loved when you met him,” 

said his daughter Lauren 

Ratliff. “He was the most 

unintimidating man. His 

personality was just so 

warm.” 

He was also continually 

thinking of others. Ratliff 

recalled the time he was 

looking out his window 

and saw a car crash into a 

garage. 

“Without thinking he ran 

out and pulled the guy out of 

the car and ended up blowing 

both his knees out.” 

Reaumond was involved 

in numerous philanthropic 

causes, and was active in 

First Presbyterian Church 

of Lake Forest, where 

he was a deacon and a 

hospice worker. He also 

enjoyed participating in 

church work trips. 

And throughout his life, 

Reamond continued to enjoy 

playing the piano, even 

close to the end, when 

for his wife he played On 

Golden Pond. 

Reaumond is survived 

by his wife Julie; children 

Paul (Chloe) Reaumond, 

Lauren (John) Ratliff, Connor 

Reaumond, and Tyler 

Reaumond; and his sister, 

Rochelle Reaumond.

Family tradition reigns supreme at Pastificio 

Xavier Ward 


Dream jobs are few 

and far between. For Pat 

Galli, however, her dream 

was self-made and rolled 

through the cylinders of a 

hand-crank pasta maker. 

Galli, owner of Pastificio, 

122 Highwood 

Ave., Highwood, remembers 

graduating college 

and not having many job 

prospects. Frustrated with 

the stand-still job market, 

she suggested she 

and her mother open their 

own shop as she had often 

kicked around the idea of 

doing. 

She remembers her 

mother saying, “I didn’t 

sacrifice immigrating here 

and sending my oldest 

child to college to see her 

having to work really hard 

in the kitchen.” 

Then again, Galli said, 

what’s better than working 

for yourself? 

Pastificio is a take-home 

Northern Italian eatery. 

As you enter the shop, 

the unassuming facade 

gives way to the northern 

Italian assemblage that lies 

just beyond the door. 

There are rows of spices 

and artisan olive oils, 

a glass case full of all of 

the house-made pasta you 

can imagine, and a freezer 

section full of freshly prepared 

and recently frozen 

take-home dishes. 

The most noticeable feature 

of the store is the pasta 

case full of just about every 

pasta you can imagine, 

from squid-ink linguine to 

basil fettuccini. 

Editors from 22nd Century 

Media stopped by and 

sampled the fare. 

One of the most popular 

dishes, the meat lasagna, 

isn’t your standard frozen 

lasagna. We sampled the 

seasonal pumpkin pasta lasagna 

($12.99 per pound), 

but Pastificio’s standard is 

always available. 

A veal tomato sauce 

smothered the layered Italian 

classic, and its savory 

tang was well balanced by 

the mild and melty Parmigianno-Reggiano 

filling. 

Pastificio sells its lasagna 

by the pound. A 

family-sized tray, 9-by-13 

inches, typically comes 

out to $42 and feeds six 

to eight people. It’s also 

available in medium and 

individual sizes. 

Next up was the cappellacci 

($12.99 per serving), 

a medieval dish that is 

stuffed with pumpkin, butternut 

squash, fresh lemon 

zest, fresh ricotta and 

Parmigianno-Reggiano. It

was smothered in a savory 

house sauce. 

Pastificio’s meatballs 

were next up ($9.99 for 

six or $19.99 for 12). Galli 

said she doesn’t use anything 

but finely ground 

veal for these Italian treats 

and they’re left to simmer 

in the pomarola sauce. 

For appetizers, you can 

find the insalata mista 

($14.99 per pound), a 

fresh and tart salad prepared 

with fresh bell peppers, 

red onions, baby 

artichokes, olive oil and a 

light balsamic. 

If you can, save room 

for dessert. 

The always classic cannoli 

($8.99 for three large 

or $12.99 for six mini) is 

sure to satisfy your sweet 

tooth. However, for those 

looking for a lighter dessert, 

the frappé ($17 per 

package) is a light pastry 

stretched paper thin and 

tossed with powdered sugar. 

It pairs well with gelato 

or fresh fruit. 

All of these items are 

handcrafted and passed 

on from her mother. It’s 

keeping a family tradition 

going. 

Pastificio recently celebrated 

its 40th anniversary, 

and Galli said people 

flooded in to give their respects 

to the food they’ve 

had for years. She remembered 

being in tears all day 

as more than 500 loyal 

customers came in to say 

congratulations. 

The shop is entering its 

fourth generation of customers, 

and Galli plans to 

keep that going. That said, 

she’ll never forget the 

shop’s humble roots. 

Her mother, Elsa Amidei, 

had immigrated from 

Italy and was doing domestic 

work for the Blossom 

family, of Lake Forest. 

Eventually she started 

cooking and word of her 

The seasonal pumpkin pasta lasagna ($12.99 per 

pound) includes a mild and melty Parmigiano-Reggiano 

filling topped with a veal tomato sauce. Martin 

Carlino/22nd Century Media 

skill spread to the neighbors. 

Molly Blossom, whose 

grandparents employed 

Amidei, said one of the 

neighbors told Amidei, 

“You’re such a great cook, 

what are you going to do 

about it?” 

“After that, she quit doing 

the laundry,” Blossom 

said. 

From there, the dream 

took hold and began becoming 

a reality. 

Blossom’s mother is 

still a loyal customer to 

Pastificio. 

The shop’s start wasn’t 

easy, Galli said. 

“It was very difficult because 

the food industry still 

is dominated by males,” 

she said. “As a young girl, 

too, I had to try to gain the 

respect of the clientele. 

They would walk in, they 

would look at this young 

kid and say, ‘What the hell 

does she know?’” 

Galli helped to blaze 

that trail for women in the 

culinary industry and now, 

while it isn’t easy, women 

are far more respected in 

the industry, she said. 

When it comes to proving 

the doubters wrong, 

it’s all about word of 

mouth, Galli said. 

Galli estimated she has 

between five to seven new 

customers a day. Most of 

them come because their 

friends told them to. 

“Anyone who walks 

through that door becomes

part of this pasta feature 

family, and that means we 

want to know you for a 

long time,” Galli said. 

Over time, the business 

has had to adjust, but not 

change entirely. 

Many of the customers 

who started coming 

40 years ago are now elderly 

and live alone, which 

prompted the single-serving 

option that most dishes 

come in, Galli said. 

She even ships her food, 

if you request it. 

Along with the selection 

of prepared artisanal 

northern Italian food, Pastificio 

offers a wide variety 

of wines and assorted Italian 

treats. 

As Galli said, she has 

pretty much anything 

you’ll need for a party. 

Celebrating 40 years in 

business would have been 

hard to predict for Galli 

when she was a 22-yearold 

girl trying to make it. 

“Any young person who 

says, ‘I have this dream,’ 

I say go for it ... You will 

never forgive yourself if 

you don’t,” she said.

CENTURY MEDIA 

Nearly 200 crimsonattired 

and befascinated 

guests converged at Gorton 

Community Center 

in Lake Forest on Oct. 

20, for the Mothers Trust 

Foundation’s 19th annual 

Betty Bash. Since 1998, 

MTF has impacted more 

than 30,000 low-income 

and in-crisis children 

throughout Lake County. 

MTF’s goal is to provide 

hope, build confidence 

and make a positive difference 

in a young person’s 

life. The Foundation 

provides children and 

youth with funding for 

immediate and sought-after 

needs such as clothing, 

educational fees, medical 

needs, safety gear and car 

seats, and even for extracurricular 

activities. The 

event raised more than 

$50,000. 

Renee Zoladz (left), a Mother’s Trust Foundation board 

member, and Trude Roselle, of Lake Forest, were in 

attendance at the event. 

Mothers Trust Foundation Board Member Roycealee Wood (left), of Lake Bluff, and 

Mothers Trust Foundation Founder Barbara Monsor, of Lake Forest, helped raise 

money for MTF at the event. 

Attendees (left to right) Marly Subido, the event co-chairman of the annual Betty 

Bash, of Lake Villa; Vicki Rossetti, board president, of Lake Forest; and Kim Croisant, 

board member, of Lake Forest, were also at the event.

his career by defeating Al 

Geiberger by one stroke 

at the Hawaiian Open. He 

shot a 14 under par 274 

(68-68-70-68). 

Some of the sport’s 

most accomplished players 

finished behind them. 

The VIP list included Arnold 

Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, 

Billy Casper, Hale 

Irwin, Ben Crenshaw and 

Ray Floyd. 

On the plane ride back 

to the mainland Groh said 

he showed his wife, Fay, 

the $44,000 paycheck he 

had earned for winning 

the tournament and told 

her: “We’ve got it made.

I’ll never have to work

He played in the Masters 

and the U.S. Open 

later that year and ended 

the year with $68,296 in 

earnings, putting him 31st 

on the list of PGA moneywinners. 

But there were no more 

major triumphs on the 

PGA tour. 

“I got stuck,” recalled 

Groh. “My last year was 

1980. I made $35,000 and 

I spent $35,000. 

“And then the job at 

Bob O’Link opened up 

and I stayed there until I 

retired 35 years later.” 

While working as head 

pro at the Highland Park 

course, Groh won eight 

major state tournaments,

including the 1994 Illinois 

Open, and four Illinois 

PGA titles, the last in 

2002 at age 57. 

In senior competition 

he won 15 significant 

state tournaments from 

1995 through 2004. He 

was undefeated in Radix 

Cup play from 1986- 

1999, compiling a 10-3-2 

record. 

“He was the man to beat 

for a generation,” Cronin 

said. “You would have to 

go a long way in this section 

to find a player with 

as much daring as Gary.” 

During the course of 

his career, Groh also established 

seven course 

records, one of which is a 

64 at Ballybunion in Ireland.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Kendra Joachim 

Kendra Joachim is a sophomore 

at Lake Forest High 

School and is a swimmer 

on the varsity team for the 

school. 

How did you get started 

swimming? 

I had been taking swim 

lessons since I was about 

2 or 3 [years old]. When I 

was in first grade I broke 

my arm and the doctor said 

that swimming would be 

good for me. I wasn’t really 

moving up in swim 

lessons, so I just decided to 

start swim team and it kind 

of continued on from there. 

Why do you love the 

sport? 

I really like the people. 

It’s a great community. I 

have a lot of friends from 

all over the state and a couple 

that are from different 

states. It’s just great to see 

them. 

Do you have any 

superstitions that you do 

before a race? 

I have a specific color of 

nail polish I like to wear for 

big meets and I also have a 

pair of stripped socks that 

I wear. [The nail polish] is 

blue and purple, and in the 

light it turns purple; it’s like 

a color changing [polish]. 

What is your favorite race 

to swim? 

Probably the 500-yard 

[freestyle] or the 100-yard 

[butterfly]. I guess I kind of 

like how there is a little bit 

of a strategical aspect to it 

because you have to learn 

how to pace yourself and 

swim your own race and 

not kind of pay attention to 

what other people are doing. 

What race is your least 

favorite to swim? 

Probably anything 

breaststroke, I do not like 

breaststroke at all. I can 

never really get the rhythm 

right and if I do the kick 

too much my knees start to 

hurt a little bit. 

What are your goals going 

into the sectional race? 

I really want to make 

State in the events that I’m 

swimming, so that’s the 

main goal for sectionals. 

I’m swimming the 500- 

free, 100-fly and two relays. 

What is the best advice 

you’ve gotten from Coach 

Caroline Grevers? 

Probably to just always 

stay positive and to always 

be there for each other. She 

always tells us to have a 

good time and just know 

that everyone else is going 

through the same thing you 

are and that everyone is going 

to be there for you and 

22nd Century Media File Photo 

to be there for each other, 

also. 

What is a hobby you do 

outside of swimming? 

I like reading a lot. I read 

a lot of young adult books. 

I recently read the whole 

“Harry Potter” series [by 

J.K. Rowling] over the 

summer. 

What was your favorite 

book from the ‘Harry 

Potter’ series? 

Probably, “Harry Potter 

and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” 

I had read the fifth 

book in sixth grade, but at 

that time I didn’t like reading 

as much. A couple years 

ago I started liking it again 

and then I took the task of 

reading them all over the 

summer. 

If you could go on a dream 

vacation, where would you 

go? 

Probably to Japan. I’ve 

always really like the culture 

and I’ve always been 

interested in Japanese history. 

I also really like the 

food, so that always helps.

local schools. 

What they’re saying 

“This is really cool because 

I know that field 

hockey, especially at my 

school, is a pretty young 

program. So getting involved 

with all these 

schools that are more experienced 

is cool to be in 

the mix with all these talented 

players and to have 

this opportunity and to 

play one last game in this 

setting, on this field, is an 

honor.” 

-Nancy Iden, HP forward 

“I think it’s a big honor, 

showing that everything 

I’ve worked for, with my 

team, has helped me to

get a place like this and be 

able to showcase everything 

I’ve been working 

on. This weekend’s been 

surreal; it’s been awesome.” 

-Cat Nicholson, LF midfielder 

“This is great. It’s really 

fun to be able to play with 

everyone because I only 

know like half the girls 

and they’re from all over. 

That’s fun. Playing on this 

field is so great. My high 

school plays on grass, so 

this is quite a change from 

that because it’s faster and 

easier to move the ball. 

That’s what makes it fun.” 

-Izzy Moody, LFA defender 

“It’s an honor to get selected 

to play in the All- 

Star game, it gives you 

a lot of confidence and 

shows that you’re playing 

with the best people in the 

state. The game is really 

fun and gives us a chance 

just to show everyone why 

we deserve to be there and 

our achievements throughout 

the season.” 

-Anya Kavanagh, LA forward 

“Being nominated for 

the all-star game was definitely 

an honor this year. I 

went last year as well and 

both years it has definitely 

been a competitive game 

with great players. I didn’t 

know a lot of the girls on 

my team so it was fun to 

play with different schools 

and girls of different ages. 

The level of play was very 

high and competitive but 

fun at the same time, and 

I think it elevated all of us 

to play with the best in the 

state.” 

-Xas Morgan, NSCDS midfielder 

“It’s awesome because 

a lot of these girls are my 

friends and teammates

Girls Cross-Country 

Chody ends career on high 

note, finishes 15th in state meet 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

Brett Chody ended her 

cross-country running career 

on a high note. 

The Lake Forest senior 

finished 15th in the Illinois 

High School Association’s 

Class 3A State Competition. 

Chody finished in 17 

minutes, 5 seconds, just 43 

seconds behind Glenbard 

West’s Katelynn Hart who 

took home the first-place 

win. 

The race was held at 

Detweiller Park in Peoria 

on Saturday, Nov. 4, and 

despite less than desirable 

running conditions, Chody 

was about to tough out the 

race and finish in a spot she 

was proud of. 

“It was a great finish to 

our season and to her career,” 

said Stephen Clegg, 

Chody’s cross-country 

coach. “She was 17th as a 

freshman [in Class 2A]. It 

was a nice bookend to her 

career with us.” 

“Since we moved up a 

class I definitely wanted 

to be up there with the top 

girls,” Chody said. “My 

goal was to get All-State 

and I knew I was fit enough 

to run a solid race.” 

Chody knew that the 

competition would be 

tougher in Class 3A, but 

she trained for that added 

competition. 

Chody, and the other 

girls in the 3A race, ran in 

the fifth race of the day. Six 

total races were held, three 

for the girls and three for 

the boys. Forty-degree temperatures 

and on-and-off 

rain made the course less 

than desirable for the runners, 

but Chody navigated 

it well. 

“There was a part that we 

[went] by three times, right 

at the 800-meter mark, and 

then at the 2-mile point 

and then again at the finish 

line,” Chody said about the 

slight up-hill climb towards 

the end of the course. “By 

the end of the race you can 

feel it. That part was pretty 

muddy. I didn’t get super 

good footing, and I was 

slipping back through every 

step a little bit. 

“It was just kind of hard 

to get a good grip. That was 

the only part that was kind 

of bad, but other than that 

the course was just kind of 

damp, no parts were super 

muddy.” 

Chody said she was 

happy with how her high 

school cross-country running 

career ended. 

“I went in just really 

wanting to have a good 

race and controlling what I 

could control and having a 

positive mindset and everything,” 

she said. “I knew I 

gave it my all. It was bittersweet 

ending my career but 

also ending on a high note.” 

Clegg and Chody had 

talked about her plan for 

the state competition prior 

to going down there. It was 

solid, and one that Clegg 

felt like she accomplished. 

“When we talked about it 

she wanted to feel like she 

had a good race,” Clegg 

said. “She has been down 

there four times. She has 

only been the second Lake 

Forest person to be down 

there all four years. She 

wanted to walk away from 

Peoria like she had run a 

good race.” 

Clegg also said that 

Chody’s fastest recorded 

time, on the Scouts home 

course, was 16:57. So, considering 

the weather constraints 

for the day, he was 

proud she only added on 

eight seconds. 

The week prior to the 

state race, Chody experienced 

back pain and spasms 

through the sectional meet. 

Thankfully, after a day of 

rest and a trip to the chiropractor, 

Chody didn’t experience 

back-pain during the 

state meet. 

“Looking back on that 

[sectional] race, and we 

talked about that this week, 

it was quite an accomplishment 

to hang in there like 

she did last week,” Clegg 

said. “She fell off from that 

front group and that’s a 

tough place to be.” 

Clegg said that being in 

the spot, where a runner 

is all alone is a dangerous 

place to be in for a cross 

country runner. 

“That was a good indication 

of her mental toughness,” 

Clegg said. 

Chody used that mental 

toughness in her race in 

Peoria. 

“She was up with the 

leaders all day,” Clegg said, 

which is usual of Chody’s 

race plan. “Then eventually 

the winner and the runner 

up pulled away.” 

Chody now has a bit a 

break between cross country 

season and the start 

of track and field, which 

begins in the spring. She 

plans on taking it easy, at 

least for a little while. 

“I will just take some 

time off from the competitive 

training every day,” 

Chody said of her plans. 

“I’ll do some other exercises, 

like spin classes. I’ll feel 

it out, and give my body a 

break. 

“It’s good to step away 

and recharge mentally.” 

Girls Swimming 

Young Lake Forest squad 

places fifth at the NSC meet 

Brittany Kapa, Sports Editor 

Even after losing 25 

seniors last year to graduation, 

Lake Forest coach 

Carolyn Grevers is still 

proud of what her young 

team has accomplished 

thus far in the season. 

“It’s exactly where we 

expected,” Grevers said. 

“This year is not a year 

we’re worried about placefinishing. 

This is a rebuilding 

year for us. We have 

really young athletes that 

are figuring how to be 

leaders.” 

For as young as the LF 

team is, Grevers said that 

she was impressed with 

how they swam during the 

Saturday, Nov. 4 North 

Suburban Conference conference 

meet. The team 

placed fifth for the varsity 

level, but many girls set 

their all-time best records 

during the race. 

“We swam out of our 

minds,” she said. “It was 

amazing. Those kids are 

preparing for sectionals 

next week and they were 

right where they needed to 

be.” 

Going into the conference 

meet, Grevers knew 

her team would not place 

first, second or third but 

that was okay. 

“I’m really excited to 

see where they’re going 

to be next week,” Grevers 

said. “We’re not going to 

be a Top 3 team but we’re 

focusing on where we 

need to be for state.” 

Emily Vodovoz is the 

lone senior swimmer on the 

squad this season. Grevers 

said the leadership role 

on the team has fallen on 

Vodovoz’s shoulders and 

returning swimmers like 

Kendra Joachim and Ashley 

Updike. The two sophomores 

were able to learn 

from the seniors last season 

have used that experience 

this season. Grevers said 

they both have taken on 

leadership roles and helped 

Vodovoz lead the rest of the 

young squad. 

Like most area swim 

teams, Grevers squad is 

not fully tapered yet which 

means the team will have 

another week to get their 

times down a bit more. 

“Every swim but one was 

a personal record,” she said. 

“We did so well. It was not 

even a joke how amazing 

they did. Anyone who was 

rested for the meet yesterday 

had a personal record. 

You can’t ask for anything 

more than that.” 

With another week to 

prepare for the sectional 

race, that extra time may 

be especially important for 

swimmers like Joachim 

and Updike. 

“Kendra [Joachim] 

and Ashley Updike, my 

two sophomores, are two 

that I see going to state,” 

Grevers said. 

Joachim and Updike 

were both put in a unique 

situation this year. Even as 

sophomores they are some 

of the more talented swimmers 

on the squad this 

year. They were essentially 

thrust into a leadership 

role. Grevers said both 

have responded well to the 

added responsibility. 

“They had a full year 

of being with outstanding 

seniors last year,” she 

said. “They’re throw into 

it this year and they’re doing 

well.” 

Updike finished second 

in the 100-yard freestyle 

race with a time of 54.50 

seconds. She finished third 

in the 50-yard freestyle 

race with a 25.23-second 

time. Joachim finished 

fifth in the 100-yard butterfly, 

1:00.07. She took 

the third spot in the 500- 

yard freestyle and completes 

the race in 5:15.49. 

Joachim and Updike 

were joined by Isabella 

Lewin and Flynn McClellan 

for the 400-yard freestyle 

relay race where the 

team took fourth place. 

During the dive portion 

of the event Isabel Rose 

finished ninth with an 

eight-dive score of 302.20. 

The Scouts have had a 

unique situation this year. 

Their previous dive coach 

needed to be replaced after 

she had her baby early in 

the season. 

The Scouts have welcomed 

Patrick Schulze as 

the head diving coach. 

Schulze only started 

coaching the dive team 

around the time of the Libertyville 

dual, which was 

mid-September. 

“They’ve really only 

had a month or so of being 

in the pool with [Schulze],” 

Grevers said. “I’m 

excited to see what [Rose], 

and her teammates can do 

next week.”

Despite promising start Lake Forest cannot control Hawks 

Lake Forest falls to 

Hoffman Estates in 

second-round play 

David Jaffe 


The Lake Forest football 

team deserves plenty 

of credit this season after 

bouncing back from a 2-4 

start. 

The team won its final 

three regular season games 

to qualify for the playoffs 

and then routed Riverside- 

Brookfield in their firstround 

playoff game. 

The Scouts would not be 

so lucky the second time 

around. 

The Scouts, No. 15 seed, 

hosted Hoffman Estates 

Saturday, Nov. 4, in the 

Illinois High School Association’s 

Class 6A secondround 

battle. The home 

team faced an unstoppable 

passing attack by Hoffman 

Estates, the No. 7 seed. 

Hawks quarterback Austin 

Coalson threw 28 for 31 

and 310 yards to secure his 

team’s advancement to the 

next round of play. Coalson 

led his team to scoring 

34 unanswered-points 

and a 48-28 win, shutting 

down the Scouts at home 

and ending the home 

team’s season. 

A Strong Start 

Lake Forest got off to a 

good start scoring on its 

opening drive when quarterback 

Jack Mislinski 

found Luke Nolan on a 43- 

yard play-action pass and a 

touchdown reception. The 

Hawks ultimately responded 

later in the first quarter 

after Jaylin Johnson’s ran 

the ball in for a one-yard 

touchdown with under two 

minutes left in the quarter. 

Hoffman Estates trailed by 

just one, 7-6, after the extra 

point was blocked. 

A couple of unlucky 

turnovers factored into 

Hoffman Estates getting 

some early points as Jaylan 

Alexander intercepted 

Mislinski on a tipped pass 

setting the Hawks up at 

the Lake Forest 12. Two 

plays later Coalson found 

Trevon Hall for a sevenyard 

touchdown pass. The 

Hawks added a two-point 

conversion when Coalson 

found Jayvon Blissett 

(11 catches, 128 yards) in 

the end zone. The Scouts 

trailed 14-7 after the second 

play of the second 

quarter. 

“We didn’t put ourselves 

in good position with those 

turnovers,” said Chuck 

Spagnoli, Lake Forest’s 

coach. “It gave them momentum 

and a short field 

to capitalize on. We had 

two turnovers, we jumped 

offsides and had a penalty 

where we hit the quarterback 

and they were able to 

score off of those things.” 

It took less than three 

minutes for the Scouts to 

strike back as a 49-yard 

pass play from Mislinski to 

Ryan Cekay (4 catches, 91 

yards) which set up Bryan 

Ooms nicely for an easy 

three-yard touchdown run. 

The Hawks took control 

for good after that when 

Coalson hit Will Noon for 

a 24-yard touchdown on 

the next possession. 

Alexander picked off another 

pass from the Scouts 

offense, his second interception 

of the game, after 

the ball was tipped. That 

combined with a Scouts’ 

pass-interference call set 

up an eight-yard touchdown 

strike from Coalson 

to Blissett. The lead grew 

again to 28-14, to the advantage 

of the visitors, 

with 1 minute 40 seconds 

left in the half. 

“They’re obviously a 

very talented team and 

were able to throw the ball 

well,” Spagnoli said. “We 

couldn’t stop them and 

that was the main difference 

in the game.” 

Second-half struggles 

The Hawks ultimately 

benefitted from a Scouts’ 

offsides call and a roughing 

the passer call. 

Hoffman Estates rolled 

open the second half on 

a 10-play, 76-yard drive 

capped off by another 11- 

yard touchdown pass from 

Coalson to Blissett. That 

duo scored again on a 27- 

yard pass-play making 

it 42-14 with under two 

minutes left in the third 

as Hoffman Estates drove 

down field 70 yards on just 

10 plays. 

“We didn’t do a good 

job pressuring the quarterback,” 

Spagnoli said. “We 

barely hit him. They have 

a lot of guys who do things 

well on those pass plays to 

get those extra yards. But 

when the quarterback has 

time to throw, you’re making 

things easier for them.” 

Coalson threw another 

touchdown pass, but this 

one to Alexander (11 catches, 

142 yards), University 

of Purdue recruit, from seven 

yards making it 48-14 

after a blocked extra point 

with just over nine minutes 

remaining in the game. 

Battling to the end 

Two late fourth-quarter 

scores narrowed the gap 

for the Scouts, but it was 

not enough to win the 

game. 

The first touchdown 

came off a two-yard 

touchdown run by Ooms 

(16 carries, 77 yards) with 

Scouts’ wide receiver Ryan Cekay (right) cuts through the Hoffman Estates’ defense 

Saturday, Nov. 4 at home during the IHSA Class 6A second-round playoff game.

five minutes remaining in 

the game. Twenty seconds 

later Lake Forest scored 

again when Spencer Yauch 

recovered a high snap in 

the end zone. 

While it was a tough 

way to end the season, Spagnoli 

knows his team accomplished 

a lot just to get 

to this point. 

“I’m incredibly proud of 

what we were able to do 

and how we responded late 

in the season,” Spagnoli 

said. “These next 15 to 20 

minutes are the worst part 

about high school football, 

at least in our locker room. 

There’s nothing fun about 

it but it’s a part of growing 

up and I’m going to 

do whatever I can to help 

them.”
