TAX EXEMPTIONS NEWS

Homeowners may be eligible for property tax savings on their Cook County property tax bill.

Property tax exemptions can lower a homeowner's Second Installment Property Tax Bill.

Homeowners in Cook County are encouraged to review the bottom left corner of the tax bill to review exemption deductions.

Most homeowners are eligible for the Homeowner Exemption, which saves an average of approximately $950. Senior homeowners older than 65 are likely eligible for additional property tax savings with the Senior Exemption.

The automatic renewals related to

COVID-19 ended this year and many homeowners needed to resume annual filings for the Low-Income Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze “Senior Freeze” and Veterans with Disabilities Exemptions. Seniors and Veterans are encouraged to carefully review their tax bills to ensure they have the correct exemption deductions applied.

If a homeowner believes they are eligible for an exemption, they can apply for their missing property tax savings by completing a Certificate of Error application. The Cer-

tificate of Error process provides homeowners with an opportunity to redeem missing exemptions for the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 tax years Homeowners are encouraged to submit an online application immediately at cookcountyassessor.com/certificates-error or make an appointment to apply for missing exemptions.

Accepted photo IDs and documents required to apply are listed on the Assessor’s website. As a reminder, homeowners are responsible for paying the entire tax bill to

the Cook County Treasurer’s Office by Friday, December 1, 2023.

If a homeowner paid the original amount due, they would receive a refund check from the Cook County Treasurer’s Office in the mail once the application is processed by the Assessor’s Office.

To learn more about missing exemptions, join a virtual workshop on Facebook or YouTube at 6 p.m.

Monday, November 6, or 6 p.m. Tuesday, November 7. For more information, call 312-443-7550.

CLIMBING HIGH

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the invention of the jungle gym. And it all started at a dinner party in Winnetka.

BY MITCH HURST THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Historic houses. Palatial estates. Breezy beaches. Quaint downtowns. Fabulous restaurants. The North Shore is known for many things. But did you know it’s also the birthplace of the jungle gym?

Drive through any community and you will see a jungle gym at a park or a school or a church playground. You’re also likely to see children, smiles on their faces, climbing up or down. It’s a staple of childhood.

It all started 100 years ago in Winnetka, where the jungle gym was invented and the first one built and installed. The idea emerged from a dinner party in 1920 hosted

by Winnetka School Board member Edward Yeomans at his home on Tower Road. In addition to Yeomans, Carleton Washburne, Winnetka school superintendent; Perry Dunlap Smith, headmaster of North Shore Country Day School; and local resident Sebastian Hinton were in attendance.

While dining on what was no doubt a sumptuous meal, Hinton and Washburn found themselves chatting, and Hinton slipped the fact that he was working on a “climbing frame” for his kids into the conversation.

Hinton had grown up in Japan, and his father had built a three-dimensional bamboo cube framework in their backyard because he believed it would help the kids better comprehend geometry. Mostly, though, the kids used it purely for fun.

As forward-thinking educator, Washburne was intrigued. He saw the jungle gym as a

The original jungle gym was installed at Horace Mann School in Winnetka.

tool to improve students’ mental and physical health. After dinner, Washburne, Hinton, and fellow educator Smith moved their discussion to Hinton’s home, where they worked into the evening on a prototype for a jungle gym.

When the design was finished, a prototype was built and installed at North Shore Country Day School. It was a huge hit with the kids, but there were a few flaws that needed fixing. After some tweaks, the first permanent jungle gym was installed at Horace Mann School.

That year Hinton filed a patent for the jungle gym, but he lost a hard-fought battle

with mental illness in April 1923. His patent would be approved just five months later.

While his life ended tragically, his legacy is momentous.

Today jungle gyms provide fun and exercise to millions of kids (adults, too) across the globe.

The original jungle gym also has its own story. It was preserved when Horace Mann School was torn down and moved to Crow Island School, where it remained until it was donated to the Winnetka Historical Society (WHS) in 2010.

8 | SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4 | SUNDAY NOVEMBER 5 2023

But a footnote is required.

According to Mary Trieschmann, Executive Director of WHS, the structure that was donated to WHS is likely to be a second, smaller “kindergarten jungle gym” Crow Island ordered in 1941.

Regardless, WHS is doing its best to preserve Hinton’s legacy by marking the 100th anniversary of his accomplishment. The donated gym from Crow Island remains part of WHS’s collection in its backyard at 411 Linden Street. Given the impact the jungle gym has had on children everywhere, he’s definitely a man worth celebrating.

“Almost every child has climbed on, crawled under, or fell off a jungle gym,” Trieschmann says. “Since we've shared the story of the 100-year anniversary of the jungle gym, hundreds of people have shared their visceral memories with us of this simple, sturdy play structure that lived on almost every school playground and/or public park across the country.

“The jungle gym’s journey started in Winnetka, and we want to celebrate the creativity of the inventor and the progressive education movement that he believed in providing children with opportunities to push themselves physically and mentally, specifically, at their own pace.”

HELPING HAND

North Shore brokers from @properties gathered together on October 10 to raise funds for Cooper Roberts and his family’s efforts to move into an accessible home.

Photography by Ian McLeod

More than $14,000 was raised by @properties brokers and friends on October 10 to support Cooper Roberts and his family, who are residents of Highland Park. Cooper was paralyzed during the July 4, 2022, shooting in that city and now uses a wheelchair. The fundraiser, spearheaded by brokers Ted Pickus and Susan Burklin along with Vice President of Brokerage Services Jorge Abreu, was in part designed to raise funds for an accessible home.

Featuring a silent auction, the event brought together @properties brokers from throughout the North Shore and received strong support from the area business community. More than 30 local business collectively donated at least 50 items for the silent auction. The fundraiser was held at SLYCE Coal Fire Pizza in Winnetka, which discounted its costs significantly to support the effort. The locally driven event was held in the spirit of the commitment @properties has long made to supporting the needs of the individuals and the communities in which it conducts business.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED LIFESTYLE & ARTS

The upstairs-downstairs bells are ringing from Downton again as NBCUniversal and Imagine Exhibitions bring Downton Abbey: The Exhibition to the Westfield Old Orchard Shopping Center in Skokie for a limited engagement.

The immersive experience celebrating the global hit series opens November 10 and will run through March 31, 2024.

Downton Abbey: The Exhibition offers a chance to step inside the world of the multi-award-winning global television phenomenon as well as the two previously released blockbuster feature films, produced

by Carnival Films, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Tickets to Downton Abbey: The Exhibition makes for a wonderful holiday gift as it’s something that the whole family can enjoy.

Make sure to keep an eye out for our afternoon tea events, etiquette classes and events for the holidays and on British society.”

This marks the sixth U.S. stop of the exhibition’s hugely popular U.S. tour. The exhibition was hailed by The New York Times as “a cleverly immersive experience mounted with the same exacting care as the show itself.”

“We are excited to bring this popular ex-

nizable sets and get up close to real costumes and artifacts from the series and movies. You can also see the historical context and subject matter behind the show, and learn more about the society, culture and issues, which led to the stories we told.”

The exhibition offers never-before-seen elements designed to further connect fans with their favorite characters, including original costumes, production props, and exclusive footage from the series.

BY MITCH HURST THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

There’s no better way to welcome in the holiday season than taking a trip to Chicago Botanic Garden (CBG) and strolling through the trail to view its annual holiday tradition, Lightscape.

Now in its fifth year, Lightscape opens on November 10 and features light installations from artists around the globe, including three new works from artistic companies

Chicago Botanic Garden’s Lightscape features 22 installations from international and local artists. Photograph courtesy of Andrew Ogilvy

located in the UK and France. The show is produced in partnership with Sony Music and creatively produced

by Culture Creative.

Among the new installations are Lil-

lies, from UK artist Jigantics, which illuminates five-foot lilies that float elegantly on water; Nighlights, from French artist TILT, which features delicate, lamp-shaped lights of ambient colors that extend nearly 19 feet into the air; and Sea of Light, from the UK’s ITHACA, which presents thousands of individually controlled balls of light that will make the garden’s Evening Island sparkle

and dance. The three new installations will be accompanied by popular works from past years, including the Winter Cathedral.

“Each year Lightscape provides new and captivating ways to engage audiences with immersive experiences in the natural world that delight the entire family,” said Jodi Zombolo, Associate Vice President, Visitor Events and Programs at the CBG. “Tickets went on sale in June and most weekend dates in late November and early December are nearly sold out, so we encourage everyone to make plans now to attend this not-to-miss event.”

Zombolo says the inspiration for Lightscape each year comes from the UK-based Culture Creative. Its team brings the vision for what the path will look like. The company has an array of artists it works with from around the world and often thinks years in advance when shaping CBG’s Lightscape events. This year’s edition will have 22 installations.

“Creative Culture looks for the right place in the garden for each installation, and our goal each year is for 80 percent of the installations on the trail to be new, so you don’t see the same ones when you come each year,” says Zombolo. “It will always be different.”

From PG 14

Salina Murray, who works with ITHACA, which is based in Brighton and also Chicago, says the artistic group is constantly in search of unique spaces where it can place its installations.

“ITHACA is a company of light artists and sound designers, composers, editors, and experimenters. Our work spans music, video remix, and light and sound installations,” Murray says. “We are interested in unusual locations, site-specific work, and the opportunities presented by remixing light and sound in creative new ways, indoors and out.”

She says Sea of Light was particularly inspired by the Garden’s Evening Island, which will be included along the path for Lightscape. The installation includes more than 5,000 lights that will create a “kaleidoscope of colors.”

“We chose Chicago as the location for our only non-UK office, so we’re always delighted to get the chance to create artwork there,” she says. “We’ve worked with Lightscape and Chicago Botanic Garden before, and it’s an absolutely beautiful venue and we love the challenges of working in such a wonderfully managed natural environment, whatever the weather.”

TILT’s Francois Fouilhe says the com-

pany’s roots are in theater, and their work at TILT is driven by wanting to create something bigger.

“We worked as light managers in theaters, for musicians and street theater 20 years ago,” Fouilhe says. “There was a lack of striking pieces using light as an artistic medium and we thought we'd start creating our own lights, with the idea of installing them outdoors as light artworks.”

TILT has three pieces in this year’s Lightscape, including Nightlights. Fouilhe says the foundation for their works is nature, which provides “an endless and most beautiful source of inspiration.” Nightlights are a fantasy version of our everyday lights, he says, imagined in giant versions to transform their impact and use. He says TILT is thrilled to be back for Lightscape this year.

“It will be our second time in Chicago, and we can't be more excited. It's such a vibrant and diverse city and the beautiful Chicago Botanic Garden has such a beautiful background for our pieces,” he says.

“We can't wait to be part of this event.”

In addition to the installations, Lightscape will feature four locations where guests can stop and enjoy hot drinks, food (including s’mores), and signature cocktails. The fourth location will provide more substantial food and tables where individu-

GOLDEN HOUR

Winston Flowers invites you to be inspired by the rustic beauty of its new Autumn Collection.

Channeling the brilliant energy of the ever-changing landscape with fiery hues and rich textures, fall flowers come alive in vibrant palettes of gold, cranberry, and bronze with organic embellishments like fresh berries, brassica, and dark midnight foliage. Evoking colors of the quintessential fall “golden hour,” this arrangement of autumnal blooms features more than three dozen roses—including exclusive varieties like the coveted ‘Juliet’ garden roses and plush ombré ‘free spirit’ roses, showcased in saturated shades of amber, persimmon, and copper. Complemented by clay red ‘butterfly’ ranunculus, fiery stems of asclepias, and sprays of burgundy berries, this taste of autumn is served in a matte charcoal bowl. Available for $500 at winstonflowers.com.

Kids (and adults) will be dazzled by the installations at this year’s Lightscape.

als and families can eat dinner, including tacos, Italian beef sandwiches, and pizza.

Zombolo says at a normal pace the trail, which is 1.3 miles long and fully accessible, will take about 40 minutes to walk. Lightscape sells out every year and continues to be one of the more popular holiday traditions on the North Shore.

“It’s very different from other light shows in the area. These are artistic pieces, and they are in a beautiful setting, and they show off the Garden in the winter,” Zombolo says. “You can enjoy both.”

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON Directed by Martin Scorsese, an epic film about the massacre of the Osage Indians is admirable but goes on far too long.

BY REX REED ILLUSTRATION BY TOM BACHTELL

RUNNING TIME: 3.5 HOURS RATING: 3.5 stars

Clocking in at close to four hours, Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's epic film about the evil massacre of the Osage Indians by greedy white racist capitalists in the 1920s, is unquestionably and impressively well made, but exhaustingly and unnecessarily too long for anyone with a bad back or a short attention span.

As much as I admire Mr. Scorsese's direction and screenplay, co-written with Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), I found myself glancing at my watch occasionally and dozing off quite often.

Based on the sprawling book by David Grann that took the author a decade to meticulously research and write, Killers of the Flower Moon chronicles the detailed minutiae in a massive criminal reign of terror that targeted one of the last five civilized tribes in the Indian Nation that was given nothing by the U.S. government after the Civil War except a transfer of worthless land in the barren plains north of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

But the Osage were not called "the chosen people of chance" for nothing. One by one, oil bubbled to the surface of their cracked soil, making them the wealthiest people per capita in the country. The jealous, resentful white men suddenly wanted their money, their land, and their oil wells—and the only way to get it was to marry into their families.

Thus began one of the darkest chapters in American history, secretly suppressed and unreported by the press for a century. This is the saga that fascinates Scorsese here. It's an honorable thing to tell the story in so much minute-by-minute detail, but as a firm believer in brevity, I personally think the

story could be told with the same impact in half the time.

The film begins on a train bringing a man named Ernest Burkhart (a rapidly aging Leonardo Di Caprio) to the heartland after serving as a cook in the U.S. Army to work for his smarmy, politically ambitious uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro), who wastes no time marrying off his nephew to a lonely but wealthy Osage woman named Molly (newcomer Lily Gladstone, who radiates as a centerfold, even when she has no dialogue).

Then her sister Anna is savagely murdered and Ernest is trapped between two races trying to find the killers. The narrative makes a right turn to concentrate on Ernest's dismissal of his wife's doctors in order to control the insulin for his wife's diabetes.

Characters multiply, and so do the elaborate, long-winded, intricate and not always plausible subplots including morticians covering up bullet wounds and doctors administering poison, while a multitude of actors in supporting cameos invade the Osages' real estate, then marry and violently dispose of their women, one by one, for millions in profits.

It's down in marble as an accurate dossier on true facts, but one thing that fails to make sense to me is why masses of people trusted Ernest Burkhart's every action, although the character (at least the way he is played by Di Caprio) is a borderline moron, easily manipulated by his conniving uncle, without even the simplest capacity to make a convincing villain.

The movie eventually chugs its way into

18 | SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4 | SUNDAY NOVEMBER 5 2023

a final hour, with the action confined to the courtroom trial of Burkhart and Hall, with guest appearances by John Lithgow as their defense attorney and a bald and portly Brendan Fraser as the prosecutor.

There's a tedious dramatic payoff, but it's an interminable, drawn-out time coming.

This will come as sacrilege to many, but in my opinion the obvious and well-catalogued strengths and skills of Marty Scorsese seem wasted.

The exemplary camerawork does capture every flicker of a lighted cigar and each turn of a doorknob, but the director appears to be so in love with his own work that he can't edit down or delete a single scene to eschew inescapable repetition. He can't decide whether his movie wants to be a domestic drama, a rousing murder mystery, a pulseracing action adventure, a political statement, or a tragic love story, so it settles on being everything at the same time.

The suspense is minimal because we watch the plot to murder the Osage people unravel step by step and see the carnage as it occurs, scene by scene. Where's the anxiety in that? The performances are solid (DeNiro and DiCaprio work together in a kind of movie shorthand), but only the triumphant Lily Gladstone manages to steal the picture from everyone else.

In the end, I recommend seeing it, but I think Killers of the Flower Moon is the kind of movie you respect and admire without much actual enjoyment. With all of the evident hard work, dedication, and fidelity to facts, it's still an hour too long, and not a film I would ever want to see twice.

Peripheral Neuropathy Breakthrough “My feet feel like they’re on fire.”

“Each step feels like I’m walking through wet paint.”

“I live in constant fear that I’ll fall.”

“I can’t sleep, my hands and feet tingle all night.”

What do all of these people have in common?

They suffer from peripheral neuropathy. It’s estimated that more than 20 million people in the United States have peripheral neuropathy.

Unfortunately this figure may be significantly higher as the disease is often misdiagnosed because of its wide array of symptoms. Dr. Kuan Su of Acupuncture North Clinic in Northfield shares this belief.

“I’ve been treating neuropathy, in all its various forms, for over a decade and so often my patients come to me because of the symptoms, not because of a diagnosis. They saw me at one of the local networking events or heard the testimonial of another patient and say to themselves ‘hey, I feel the same thing.”

Frankie M. of Wilmette testified to this.

“I remember my husband driving me to my consultation and I saw a woman running just outside our neighborhood. I was so envious - I just kept thinking ‘I would give anything just to walk again. My primary care doctor told me my troubles with pain and balance were just symptoms of old age and gave me a prescription. I was so depressed.”

Fortunately Frankie would eventually see Dr. Su at a local networking event talking about similar symptoms and how he offers a real solution at Acupuncture North Clinic. “I just knew I had to see him. He was my last hope.” “Almost all of our patients come to us with a story similar to Frankie’s.

They’ve been everywhere else. They’ve been told there’s no hope. They’ve been told ‘it’s just part of getting older’.” shares Mark, an Office Assistant at Acupuncture North Clinic.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

“It just breaks my heart but I know how much we can help people like Frankie so I’m always so happy when they walk through our door.”

Those diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy often face a very grim reality; Western medicine declares that there is no solution while most alternative therapies carry large price tags and offer little to no resolve. Which is why Dr. Su and the staff at Acupuncture North Clinic pride themselves on being ‘the last resort with the best results’. Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves and this damage is commonly caused by lack of blood flow in the hands and feet. A lack of blood flow results in a lack of nutrients; the nerves then begin to degenerate and die which causes pain ranging from discomfort to debilitating.

Because neuropathy is a degenerative condition, once those nerves begin to deteriorate they will continue to do so until they are completely expired, leaving those suffering with crippling balance issues. “In this case, the absence of pain is not necessarily a good thing”, shares Dr. Su. “This usually indicates that your nerves are hanging on by a fragile thread.” So how exactly is Dr. Su able to reverse the effects of this degenerative disease? “Acupuncture has been used to increase blood flow for thousands of years which helps to get the necessary nutrients to the affected nerves. But the real magic happens when I integrate infrared heat lamp therapy which has been shown by the NIH to be highly effective in increasing circulation and recovery.”

functionality, which is on par with a majority of our patients,” shares Mark.

“But more important than those test results is the joy she’s expressed being here and hearing about all the amazing things she’s able to do because she feels great!’

By seamlessly blending the ancient science of acupuncture with modern medical solutions Dr. Su has achieved a 90% success rate in reversing the effects of neuropathy.

He starts each patient with an initial consultation during which a sensory exam is performed.

“This not only aids in making a proper diagnosis but it helps to define just how much nerve damage has occurred” tells the doctor. “This is important because if a patient has suffered more than 95% damage, there is little that I can do to help them. I’m familiar with the medical miracle but I know my limits as a practitioner and the limits of my medicine.” When it comes to treating peripheral neuropathy, regardless of its origin, early detection greatly improves your chances of a full recovery. If you or someone you love are suffering with chronic pain that presents as burning, tingling or ‘pins and needles’ or you’ve recently been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, it’s important to know that there are options. There is hope.

“I just can’t say enough about Acupuncture North Clinic,” Frankie shared through tears of joy. “ My husband and I moved here 3 years ago and he’s gone to the beach or gardens almost everyday. I always stayed home because of the pain and discomfort. Yesterday I walked in the gardens with him! And next week we’re starting dancing lessons. I am truly living life these days.” According to Frankie’s test results, she has seen a 74% improvement in pain and

#ON MY NIGHTSTAND

I am a huge reader. No matter what is going on in my life good or bad, books bring me pleasure, knowledge, and inspiration. Although my favorite genre is historical fiction, I try to read a little bit of everything (poetry, scientific essays, biographies, etc.). Currently, at the recommendation of a friend, I am reading The Heart’s Invisible Furies by Irish author John Boyne. But along with my current book, I always keep next to my bed a masterpiece called When Things Fall Apart by Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön. This is an incredible book full of wisdom that encourages readers to NOT run away from the pain we experience in life but rather move toward painful situations with friendliness and curiosity to extract valuable lessons from them.

When it comes to understanding the how, what, or why of Chicago weather, just ask Highland Park resident MARIA PONTICIELLO, who spends a good part of her day analyzing the atmosphere. Ponticiello was born, spent half of her life, and initially started her on-air career in Mexico City. Moving to Highland Park after meeting her now husband of 25 years, she continued her on-air career at NBC Universal/ Telemundo Chicago, where she won 11 Emmy Awards. She wore many hats during the 20 years at Telemundo, including hosting a daily entertainment show called Acceso Total, interviewing A-list celebrities, covering hard news stories, and bringing in New Year’s Eve with the “New Year’s Special Countdown.” Ponticiello reinvented herself when she was asked to be a backup weather anchor. She absolutely fell in love with maps, fronts, the jet stream, the clouds’ physics, and all the science, so she decided to go back to school and get a degree in Meteorology and Geoscience from Mississippi State University. Today, Ponticiello works at Univision Chicago as a weather anchor and aside from her love of forecasting, is constantly learning how to tackle environmental issues and learning new ways to be more kind to Mother Earth. When she is not in front of the green screen, she loves yoga and visiting her daughters Nico and Louise, who attend universities in L.A. and New York respectively. This Emmy-Award winner stepped away from the microphone recently to share how she stays current.

#ON MY MOBILE

I love the Instagram account of former supermodel Paulina Porizkova. Her content is simply great! She talks with honesty about how hard aging can be for women in today’s world and her reluctance to get Botox, fillers, and surgeries. She is always trying to shed light on women over 50, who are typically forgotten or invisible and even shamed for not fitting the mold of beauty standards.

#IN MY EARBUDS

I wish I could say that I listen to a lot of super cool podcasts, but the reality is that most of the time I am using my phone, it is to consult National Weather Service and other institutions/apps dedicated to weather and climate.

However, the last podcast I heard that got me pretty hooked was Predators I’ve Caught with Chris Hansen. These episodes recall the most notorious cases of Hansen’s former show, which I used to love.

HARDWOOD KNOCK S U N D AY B R E A K FA S T

Glencoe native Rich Cohen’s new book, When the Game Was War, pays homage to the bruising, thrilling 1987-88 NBA season featuring four dynasties in various phases of ascent and descent.

BY BILL MCLEAN ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT

Rich Cohen’s one-on-one basketball battles with his father, Herb, atop the family’s Glencoe driveway in the mid-1980s rarely ended well for Rich.

Future author Rich was 17 in 1985.

Herb was in his early 50s.

In his new book, When the Game Was War: The NBA’s Greatest Season (Random House, 232 pages), Rich Cohen, now 55, compares his father’s game back then to former Boston Celtics power forward Kevin McHale’s game at the start of the 1988 NBA Finals versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

“Appearing mechanical and stiff, McHale resembled the Iron Giant and seemed to play the way my father did in our driveway when he got home from work, in his loafers and suit, jacket off, sleeves rolled, change jingling as he lumbered to the hoop,” Cohen writes. “He’d turn his back to the basket eight feet away, push me aside, then grunt as he hit the hook.”

The son provides more details of the intense encounters in a recent phone interview.

“I couldn’t defend that shot,” recalls Cohen, who was born in Lake Forest, grew up in Glencoe, and attended New Trier Township High School. “My father had always created enough space for himself to easily rise and execute the shot with a flip of the wrist. And he usually slammed me into the garage door on my lay-up attempts, leaving me in a heap on the ground.

“My father enjoyed watching the brand of basketball the Detroit Pistons played in the 1980s,” he adds. “Those ‘Bad Boys’ teams were tough and built to beat their biggest rival in the Eastern Conference (Boston) at the time. It took time and a willingness to adapt, and they did that by getting faster and bigger through draft picks and trades.”

Detroit is one of four franchises Cohen spotlights in the book, along with the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Chicago Bulls. He insists that the 1987-88 NBA season was the greatest season for a number of reasons—a glut of future Hall of Famers, including the four (LA’s Magic Johnson, Boston’s Larry Bird, Detroit’s Isiah Thomas, and Chicago’s Michael Jordan) he brings to life via his punchy, descriptive prose; the bonfire-hot rivalries; the impressive competitiveness of the NBA’s second-tier teams;

and the compelling personalities of the players and coaches.

And, he writes, “four dynasties (Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, and Bulls) were in various states of ascent and descent” in 1987-88.”

Cohen was 19 when former Detroit point guard Isiah “Zeke” Thomas—a native of Chicago who starred at St. Joseph High School in Westchester and at Indiana University—somehow (on one good leg, after suffering a severe ankle injury) poured in a postseason-record 25 of his 43 points in the third quarter of a Game 6 loss to Los Angeles in the 1988 NBA Finals.

“Isiah,” Cohen writes, “became a symbol of those 12 minutes, an embodiment of everything that a person who wants to live ecstatically should be. He played with fury and joy.

“That’s the night I fell in love with the NBA.” Cohen had been an Isiah Thomas fan since he saw Thomas and the rest of the St. Joseph Chargers play Westinghouse College Prep in December 1978.

Thomas “looked small, fragile,” Cohen writes. The future NCAA champion at Indiana (1981) flashed his all-court game that night, netting inside and perimeter shots and flummoxing doubleand tripleteamers.

Zeke hit the gamewinning basket.

“The smooth efficiency

of his style made you want to find something, anything, you could do half as well,” Cohen—the author of more than a dozen books and the “Back When” columnist for the Wall Street Journal—adds in the Pregame chapter of the book.

Cohen called sources and wrote When the Game Was War during the pandemic.

“People were sitting around and willing to talk,” Cohen says. “Some walked outside while they answered my questions. When I interviewed Isiah, we talked about the time he played at New Trier. It was either a St. Joseph game against New Trier or a tournament game involving St. Joseph.

Isiah remembered the names of the New Trier players.

“People, including one of my childhood friends, hate Isiah, something I’ll never understand. He was portrayed as a major villain in the Bulls documentary The Last Dance

(2020). I always go back to the way he played in that third quarter against the Lakers in Game 6 of the 1988 Finals. That injury to his ankle should have sidelined him for the rest of the game, but it didn’t. He got knocked down; he got right back up. You do that in life, you’re a success—something my father preaches.”

Thomas-led Pistons teams captured NBA titles in 1989 and 1990, after falling to the Lakers in seven games in 1988. The Chicago Bulls then built Jordan-led teams to overcome Detroit and amass six NBA championships in an eight-year (1991-1998) span.

“I believe the Detroit Pistons would be viewed differently, much more favorably, had they won three straight NBA championships instead of only two,” Cohen says. “Unfortunately, they’re remembered as a team that had players who liked to smile after committing violent acts on the court.

“Those Detroit teams,” he continues, “were so good at getting teams angry by taking them out of what they liked to do and disrupting pace and rhythm.”

Among Cohen’s other books is one about a certain driveway-hoops legend. Its title is The Adventures of Herbie Cohen: World’s Greatest Negotiator. Cohen, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, has also penned Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football; Lake Effect, a memoir about growing up in Glencoe and his years at Tulane University; The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse; and Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent.

Cohen and his wife, Jessica, are the parents of sons Aaron (19 years old), Nate (18), Micah (16), and Elia (8). The Cohen family has lived in Ridgefield, Connecticut, for the past 12 years.

Herb Cohen, who coached basketball squads of military personnel in Europe, is 90 and living in New York. He was described as a dealmaker, risk taker, raconteur, adviser to presidents and corporations, hostage and arms negotiator, lesson giver, and justice seeker in Rich Cohen’s book about him.

The son acknowledges his father in When the Game Was War. “(My father) made me love, respect, and at times, fear the game,” Cohen writes. “He beat me more often than not in the driveway, even though he played in loafers.”
