Residents demand full-day kindergarten
T
wo parents dissatisfied with Wilmette’s half-day kindergarten program are circulating a petition seeking full-day kindergarten beginning in the 2015-2016 school year. Wilmette residents Amy Poehling and Dan Johnson launched the online petition on March 3 and have more than 130 signatures. Poehling and Johnson, both of whom have preschool age children who will attend kindergarten in Wilmette, plan to file the petition with the Wilmette School Board at its next meeting on Monday, March 23. They also hope to bring the issue before the Board of Education candidates running for school board in the upcoming election and learn their views. “I was shocked,” said Johnson when he learned that District 39 offers half-day kindergarten. “I just assumed you went full day. I moved here for the schools. Shouldn’t we have the best thing?” The pair launched the website Continues on page 16
Bill Steinberg, a 20-year-old with autism, works afternoons at the Recreation Center of Highland Park fitness desk.
Paid jobs a boon for special education students BY JOANNA BROWn
R
egulars at the Recreation Center of Highland Park know 20-year-old Bill
Steinberg well. He’s a regular in the gym, of course, what with his interest in running 5Ks and personal fitness,
but he’s also a familiar face behind the front desk. Since September Steinberg has scanned cards, taken payment
for facility rentals, answered phone calls, and made regular inspections of the gym to be sure that equipment is put away and
fresh towels are stacked neatly. Recreation Center General Manager Mitch Carr said his most recent hire has been a success, and he credits the North Suburban Special Education District (NSSED) for pairing Steinberg with his facility. Based in Highland Park, NSSED is a special education cooperative that provides programs and services to 18 member districts between Wilmette and Lake Bluff and west to Glenview, Northbrook and elsewhere. More than 6,000 students on the North Shore — or about 16 percent of all students — receive special education through the district. Steinberg is one of NSSED’s many students with autism who has benefited from a transition program which helps young people identify employment opportunities and secure paid positions before their 22nd birthdays. “Bill’s done an outstanding job, and he’s made an impression on our staff and our membership,” Carr said. “We brought Bill in for an interview, as we would any candidate, and found him to be energetic, friendly, outgoing and comfortable at the point of sale. No task is too small for Bill, and he takes a lot of pride in his work. “He was looking for the same opportunity as everyone else, and that’s what he was given.” The Recreation Center of Continues on page 14
Monarch butterflies may need help to survive
A
s the North Shore’s summer of 2014 drew to a close, the area’s distinctive orange-and-black monarch butterflies joined an estimated 60 million others flying 2,000 miles to their winter home atop mountains north of the Mexican city of
Zitácuero in the state of Michoacán. The Center of Biological Diversity says that two decades ago the number of monarchs making the trip numbered a billion. Now, several environmental groups are seeking to place the
monarch on the “endangered species” list. Monarchs depend on farm fields, pastures, residential gardens and roadside plant growth for the milkweed plants on which the eggs are laid and cocoons cling. Adults feed on nectar from plants
such as milkweeds, aster, thistle, alfalfa, goldenrod, lilac and red clover. The widespread use of pesticides and herbicides in gardens, farms and pastures and roadside mowing has substantially impacted the monarch’s habitat. Illegal
logging of the favored Oyamel fir trees in Mexico has significantly compromised the monarch’s winter home. In early 2015 the U.S. Fish and Wild Life Service and Continues on page 14

FIRST WORD
Getting away from it all (except Facebook)
I
n a matter of days, North Shore residents will embark on spring break, taking vacations to Florida, Arizona, California and wherever else the sun shines brightly. Some will endure car rides as lengthy and unpredictable as those Chevy Chase and his family witnessed in “National Lampoon’s Vacation” — without any drive-bys by Christie Brinkley to hearten the male driver. Ironically, most cars are so technologically equipped these days that the kids can watch that movie (screenplay by the late John Hughes of Lake Forest) while also living it. Once the movies end and the sign- and license-plate games have faded away and boredom permeates the car, be a responsible parent by serving as a temporary teacher.
David Sweet Interiors
“Kids,” you can say, ”who knows what the word vacation means?” Assuming they hear the question and break away from Instagram to think about it, they’ll be stumped. Doesn’t it mean we get to go somewhere and hang out at a hotel? Derived from the Latin word vacatio, the primary meaning of vacation is freedom. Vacations are a relatively modern concept, especially the idea that all schoolchildren can take them. Adults in their early 20s are stunned when they’re offered two weeks vacation at a new job after they’ve enjoyed four carefree months annually their whole lives. That’s when the value of vacations really resonates. Of course, it’s quite a bit harder today to really get away from it all — in some ways Clark

“Assuming they hear the question and break away from Instagram to think about it, they’ll be stumped. Doesn’t it mean we get to go somewhere and hang out at a hotel?”
Griswold had an easier go of it, dead Aunt Edna strapped to the hood or not. The temptation to post selfies to Facebook and check out the ensuing comments is more a feeling of being inconvertibly tied to social media than of freedom. Trying to get kids to forgo iPhones and to enjoy jumping into the waves instead is more like a full-time job. Regardless, many happy memories will be created during spring break, and the knowledge that we have again prevailed over winter is akin to seeing the glories of Walley World for the first time. Enjoy the weekend.

Assistant city manager heads north
The orange-and-black monarch butterfly is a staple on the North Shore.
A
fter serving the City of Lake Forest for the past 10 years, Assistant City Manager Carina Walters has taken a position as the city administrator for the City of Burlington, Wis. Walters was selected from 55 applicants following a nationwide search. Located approximately 50 miles northwest of Lake Forest, Burlington has a population of 10,000 and is known as one of the top small towns in southeastern Wisconsin. It is the headquarters for Nestle Chocolate and has adopted the nickname “Chocolate City USA”. During her tenure as assistant city manager, Walters supervised the staffs at CROYA, Dickinson Hall, Office of the City Manager and Cable TV.
She was responsible for developing transportation initiatives, served as a key player in the Electric Aggregation Consortium and referendum in 2012. She was instrumental in securing over $4 million in grant funding for the East Side Train Station rehabilitation and the Telegraph Road Train Station underpass. Walters oversaw Lake Forest property management and leases, department budgets, and served as the staff liaison for the City’s Property and Public Lands Committee, the Elawa Farm Commission and local utilities. According to City Manager Bob Kiely, the city will be looking to fill the position of an assistant to the city manager in the next few months.
New restaurant slated for Wilmette W ilmette’s new Firefly Kitchen restaurant will open in April at 111 Green Bay Road, former home of A La Carte. Chef and owner Dean Salerno is transforming the space, adding a bar, a dining room and a rooftop herb garden. The restaurant will host a beer garden in the rear of the lot. Salerno will be joined by James Pierce — veteran of The Bar at the Peninsula Chicago — who will manage the restaurant and cultivate the wine, craft beer and bourbon list. A native New Yorker, Saler-
no has plenty of experience in the restaurant business. He opened five restaurants in New York City’s Financial District. Now he plans to bring that New York vibe to Wilmette, with a Brooklyn-style bistro that offers fresh and seasonal comfort food. When Salerno moved to the Chicago area with his wife Mia Zifkin three years ago, they opened Firefly Events & Catering, which has become a popular catering company in the area. ~ Emily Spectre

SPECIAL EDUCATION Continued from page 1
Highland Park is one of several local businesses that have hired NSSED students recently. Others include Northbrook’s North Suburban YMCA, Valley Lo Country Club in Glenview, Fresh Thyme and Whole Foods in Deerfield, and the Northbrook Park District’s Sports Center. NSSED employment specialist Laura Fine works with students ages 16-22 who are finishing their high school education and preparing to enter the workforce. Students receive job training through a variety of community experiences and are coached to manage a formal job interview. “Eighty-five percent of individuals with disabilities are not employed,” Fine said. “Everybody should be able to work. We all want to contribute, and when we can find great partner who will customize positions for our students with extra breaks or reduced hours, that’s great.” In Steinberg’s case, his pas-
sion for physical fitness along with his interest in working with people made the Recreation Center a natural fit. His mom, Teri Steinberg, said her son is also motivated to earn money to pay for the costs for his recently acquired driver’s license. He’s juggling part-time positions at the Recreation Center, Centennial Ice Area, and Lake Forest-based Trustmark — along with two classes at Oakton Community College — toward that end. His next big goals are to live independently and to start a family in his hometown. Carr said the Park District is proud to be a part of Stenberg’s efforts. “This has been an opportunity for us at the Rec Center to provide an opportunity to a local resident who needs experience and training. What better place for him to get it than at the Park District?” Carr said. “Bill has a ton of energy and he is happy to be here every day.”

Tim Pollak, a 14-year-veteran outdoor floriculturist at the Chicago Botanical Garden in Glencoe, advises North Shore gardeners to be careful in their use of pesticides and herbicides. He suggests that these folks check with the CBG’s Plant Information Service. In addition, Pollak suggests that North Shore gardeners provide monarchs with both colorful, flowering plants as a source of nectar and various annual and perennial milkweeds that provide a host for eggs to develop and cocoons to cling. He cites asters and daisies as convenient hosts for monarchs to sit and feed.
school and would board dogs when necessary. Cobb estimates 68 dogs as the maximum number in the school, with an average of 20 dogs boarding on any given day. “We are all about making dogs better companions and citizens,” Cobb said. Neighbors attended a Northfield Plan and Zoning Commission meeting last month and voiced concerns about noise, sanitation and safety. Resident
Ken Bond filed a petition opposing the amendment, signed by 71 Northfield residents and 13 businesses. Citing Kenilworth Kennels in Glenview as an example, Bond argued dog kennels within hearing distance of homes have a negative impact on property values. The Plan and Zoning Commission provided Jayko and Cobb time to meet with concerned neighbors and address
their concerns before deciding on the issue. Since then, Jayko and Cobb have entered into a lease for a 9,600-squarefoot space at 190B Northfield Road, though they still require an amendment to the zoning code. They said the space would include industrial-grade sound proofing, plumbing for the disposal of dog waste, extra fencing and personnel to ensure public safety. They also hired Mark
Schmidt of Knapp, Schmidt Architects to conduct a noise study, and they have studied property value comparisons. Cobb said they have filed a petition with the village signed by businesses supporting their cause, many retracting their previous position against the dog facility. The next meeting on this issue will be held on April 6.

NEWS KINDERGARTEN Continued from page 1
www.startthefulldaynextyear.org, which includes a petition and arguments supporting their view that full-day kindergarten is the preferable option. They point to research that supports the benefits of full-day kindergarten and the fact that 90% of Illinois school districts offer a full-day option. This issue has been considered before in Wilmette. In 2012, the District 39 School Board mulled a fee-based fullday option for the 2013-2014 school year but ultimately rejected the program because of
space limitations and quality local programs already offered to kindergarteners. On their site, Poehling and Johnson argue that the Park District’s extended-day program may provide quality childcare, but it is “not equivalent to a more robust kindergarten day.” Wilmette is not the only suburb to consider a full-day program. Northbrook District 27 approved full-day kindergarten in November, and Deerfield District 109 just approved it on March 9. Glencoe’s School Board chose to form a committee recently to
study full-day kindergarten. When Poehling, who has a background in early childhood education, wrote to District 39 Superintendent Raymond Lechner when she first moved to Wilmette in November, she was told full-day kindergarten was not up for discussion this year. Poehling wants to bring the discussion back to the table. “We need them to be bold and do what is in the best interest of our kids, even if it is hard,” Poehling said. ~ Emily Spectre
Teen tackles food allergies in documentary BY EMILY SPECTRE
Jack Yonover
T
hirteen-year-old Wilmette resident Jack Yonover knows having a tree nut allergy is not much fun, but he turned that negative experience into something positive when he created his own documentary film about food allergies from a kid’s perspective. The movie is called “That Bites!” and it will debut at the Wilmette Theatre on April 16, with all proceeds from the movie benefiting the nonprofit Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE). As far as food allergies go, Yonover was somewhat of a late bloomer. He didn’t develop his allergy to cashews and pistachios until he was almost 11. But the transition from living freely without a food allergy to carrying an Epipen everywhere and reading food labels made Yonover realize how few peo-
ple understand what it is like to suffer from a food allergy. “[The movie] is about the fears and frustrations of food allergies,” Yonover said. With no experience in filmmaking, but a passion to make a difference and an interest in film, he took a course at Chicago’s Facets film school to learn basics. Upon completing the class he had a basic understanding of filmmaking but owned no equipment. Not discouraged, Yonover turned to Kickstarter – a crowd-funding platform for creative projects – with the goal of raising $5,400. Initially friends and relatives donated money to his cause, but when the food allergy community got wind of his idea, the project went viral and Yonover raised $8,000 in almost two days. “[The project] struck a cord because it was being told by a kid,” explained his mother, Jill Yonover. With his dad acting as assistant, Yonover spent all of the money on equipment and spent the next year making a film about food allergies. In addition to a Northwestern University allergist, he interviewed eight children from around the country with food allergies ranging in age from six to 18 years old. He also filmed a mock birthday party, dining in
a restaurant and Halloween, to show what everyday reality is like for kids with allergies in these situations. Making a documentary film was challenging for Yonover. He found editing the movie difficult and time-consuming, and he spent many hours at Old Orchard’s Apple store learning how to use the editing program. He not only developed the questions and interviewed the children, but he also wrote the script and narrated the movie himself. The reward surpassed the challenges. “I think it was worth it in the end. Hopefully I will reach my goal of educating the world about food allergies,” Yonover said. Since then he has entered his film in over 65 film festivals and hopes that school districts will adopt the movie to raise awareness among students and teachers. So far he has heard from four festivals – the film will be in the Eureka Springs Indie Film Festival in Arkansas, The New Haven International Film Festival in Connecticut, and the Riverside International Film Festival in California.

‘My parish for broken parts’ Trip to Tanzania is eye-opening experience for church group BY MIKE CONKLIN
L
ate one afternoon on our recent trip in Tanzania, Rev. Corey Nelson and I split from our First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest tour group to meet Faraja School founders Don and Joanne Tolmie in our hotel lobby in Karatu. They had someone they wanted us to meet: the Rev. Robert Temba, a local Lutheran pastor. The Faraja Foundation started by the Tolmies provides assistance to local causes outside the school, including a special ministry of Rev. Temba. In addition to his own Karatu parish, he also is assigned by the diocese to call on physically disabled people throughout a far-flung, mostly rural district. “We give him $2, and he has to solve $2.98 worth of problems,” said Don Tolmie. Rev. Temba estimated there are nearly 380 disabled people he visits in the district. He makes his rounds on a motorbike, bringing words of support and faith to old and young alike. He sees a wide variety of afflictions, sometimes steering families with a disabled child to Faraja School to receive education they otherwise would never receive. “I call this my parish for broken parts,” he said. The Tolmies and Rev. Temba wanted us to go on a call with them. It had been a long, tiring day, but there was no way you could say no to Don and Joanne. They are indefatigable octogenarians and had arrived in Tanzania less than 24 hours ago on one of the many trips they make every year to Africa from North Carolina. Rev. Temba explained many of his disabled parishioners never leave their isolated homes and the pastor is the only visitor they get. He took us to meet Emmanuel, believed to be 27 years old. It wasn’t easy. Rev. Temba guided our driver on a 30-minute, bone-jarring, off-road trek on dirt paths, small boulders, and through washes outside Karatu. This is the small town that is a jumping off spot for safari-bound foreigners headed to Ngorongoro Crater. We traveled in the opposite direction. The land

was dusty and dry, much like the harshest red clay turf found in Georgia. Emmanuel’s home is a threeroom, lean-to affair made of mud, boards, and stones. There are three pieces of furniture. One is a bed reserved for Emmanuel. It is made entirely of poles strung together to serve as the mattress and corner posts. Recently, the structure got an upgrade of a sheet metal roof to replace straw and makeshift shingles. This is helpful during rainy season. There is a smaller, nearby lean-to structure that serves as a detached kitchen. Its roof is a tarp. The sole cooking utensil is a large pot over a small fire pit fueled by firewood. There is an outdoor toilet 50 yards away. There is no running water or power. Nighttime is simply dark; the days are hot and sunny. Like many in Tanzania, there is no official record of Emmanuel’s existence. He is slowly disintegrating from an apparent form of polio contracted at an early age. He receives no medical attention as we know it. Emmanuel has a doting father, but his mother, explained Rev. Temba, is an alcoholic and mostly absent. He has two brothers. There was a sister who died at a young age. She is bur-
ied in a small, rock-lined plot in the middle of the structures. The family’s seven goats frequently doze, or squat, on the grave. Emmanuel is unable to control his body parts. His head wobbles from side-to-side, though a smile occasionally breaks through. Every morning, his father, Ammi, carries him outside to the kitchen hut and places him on a small, chair. He is left alone for the day on this seat while his dad, on foot, goes searching for food or tasks to earn a little money. We found him sitting there when we arrived. In the evening, Ammi carries his son into their house. The family is then joined by the goats to protect them from wild animals that roam outside at night. Hyena bites are a major reason for visits to hospitals for those able to get to one. Rev. Temba’s efforts are one way students learn about Faraja, one of few institutions in Tanzania offering care and education exclusively for physically disabled youth. It is too late for Emmanuel, who is both too old and too challenged to qualify. On the return trip to our hotel, Corey and I did not feel so tired.

says Matiosian. Armed with degrees in painting and sculpture and a masters of art therapy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as masters of fine arts degrees in painting and sculpture from New York University, Matiosian hosts evening art classes at Persimmon. She has hired someone to make homemade baklava. And in the summer, she plans on expanding her café atmosphere outside with tables and chairs. The name Persimmon comes from Matiosian’s grandmother, who grew the exotic, edible fruit in Fresno, Calif. Her brother, who lives in Santa Barbara, also grows the heartshaped fruit, which is more widely known and consumed on the West Coast. Can Persimmon, like its namesake, flourish in the North Shore? “Will this neighborhood support my concept?” says Matiosian. “That remains to be seen.”

Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI LOan FundamentaLs: What Is a mOrtGaGe? Mortgage is the term collectively used by most people when they refer to a loan used to buy real estate. This can be misleading, in that these securities are not always mortgages, but deeds of trust. A true mortgage is a written contract that specifies how the property will be used as a term of security for the loan. In these contracts, the primary mortgage lender will usually have a first lien on the property, giving the lender priority over all other lien holders, with the only exception being a tax lien. In a true mortgage contract, all due taxes must be paid prior to closing and the mortgager (borrower and buyer of real estate) is required to pay into an escrow account specifically earmarked for taxes and insurance, thereby protecting the interests of the primary lender. In these contracts, however, the title of the property is in the name of the mortgager, not the lender; should the mortgager default on the loan, the lender (mortgagee) is required to foreclose on the property in court. If the court approves the action, the property is sold to the highest bidder. A deed of trust differs from a mortgage in that it gives the title to a neutral third party (trustee) who is partial to neither the interests of the borrower nor the lender. In these contracts, the lender is the beneficiary; should the borrower (trustor) default on the loan, the lender then asks the trustee (neutral third party) to foreclose on the property. Following the procedure set forth in the deed of trust and adhering to state laws and regulations, the trustee then forecloses on the property. Lenders prefer deeds of trusts over true mortgages for the provision of security in the event of a defaulted loan due to their quicker and less costly method of foreclosure. The ease and security of deeds of trust has not weakened the state of mortgage contracts. Mortgages are still the prevalent security instrument in many states whose laws and regulations favor the specifications of mortgage contracts. These states are called lien theory states. States whose legal regulations favor deeds of trust are referred to as title theory states. Other states have adapted their legal structures to an intermediary approach, which grants security to both the borrower and the lender in cases of default. The intermediary approach makes provisions for deeds of trust, but also requires the lender to provide a notice of foreclosure to the borrower prior to the physical repossession, allowing the borrower the opportunity to rectify the default. Before entering into any kind of real estate contract, discuss with both your Realtor® and your lender whether you live in a lien or title theory state, or if your state takes an intermediary approach. Though one never enters into a contract with the goal to default on the loan, it is important in today’s economy to be informed and well-prepared for the worst-case scenario.

North Shore Foodie
A taste of the bayou on the North Shore
Executive Chef jasper Michael BY simon murray
B
efore the dining experience was refined to a dinner plate, reservations, and a kitchen, there was only a fresh kill and a fire. Fire. Its importance to the meal has gone from a place of sacrosanctity to a secondary actor. Orange-and-red flames,
controlled, imprisoned behind the bars of a grill: licking their way to life when we need them. In this captivity, we lose all respect for the element that jump-started our evolution. One can get a newfound appreciation for a warm meal campside in the bayou. Jasper Michael, executive chef of Maevery Public House in Lake
Bluff, comes to the North Shore by way of Houston. It’s there that he received training and influence from a chef hailing from New Orleans. It’s also where he did a lot of fishing. Whether surf fishing in the Gulf of Mexico for black-tip shark or red drum or fishing “in any number of rivers and inlets” for catfish or bass, Michael would take the catch of the day and throw it over a crucible of fire. “I just took something I would normally grill by a campfire and turned it into something you can serve in a restaurant,” explains Michael of the Corvina Creole dish under Tide & Hide on the menu. “The spice is probably the key.” Instead of using Old Bay seasoning, “more of a New England flavor,” says Michael, he suggests finding a good Cajun spice. And when cooking the fish, just like over a campfire, its best to try and cook it on just one side. The skin should be scored but not overcooked. Says Michael, “That way the oils get in there, the fish stays flat. And you end up with a really crispy skin, a beautiful color on the flesh.” A lasting signature of the flames.

Scouts win a school-record 28 games but unable to secure a win against Stevenson
BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
P
hil LaScala, a basketball coach, turned into an impromptu, nattily attired wrestler after a basketball game last weekend. He took a playful shot at his young son, Jake. Jake dodged it, escaped from danger. Jake then charged toward his attentive father, also known as Lake Forest High School’s boys basketball coach. Phil LaScala wrapped his arms around Jake’s waist and picked him up, the son’s arms and legs flailing.The father put his son down gently. It was time to be a basketball coach again. It was time to answer questions about his team’s 57-49 loss to top-seeded Stevenson in the Class 4A Waukegan Sectional final on March 13. He returned to the neutral position, ready to face an entirely different kind of challenge, no questions barred. The journalists surrounding him did not wear singlets. “Our locker room right now … it’s tough in there,” LaScala said. “Our guys were invested in this, really invested. Great kids. Just the way they competed … not one guy on our team thought we weren’t going to win.” His second-seeded Scouts trailed 40-27 after three quarters and 45-31 at 5:12 of the fourth quarter. It appeared bleak for the Scouts, who had lost only twice during the regular season, both setbacks coming against Stevenson’s Patriots (27-3). Lake Forest senior guard-forward Steve Vogrich nailed a trey. His classmate, 6-foot-8, 220-pound Evan Boudreaux, struck for the Scouts’ next 10 points — nine from three-point hardwood. The flurry cut Stevenson’s lead to 50-45, with 1:39 left. It was the Lake Forest fans’ turn to convulse the packed gym. Bleak turned into upbeat, in no time. “The thing about this group, whatever the situation or whatever the environment, it always competed as hard as it could,” Scouts senior point Jack Traynor said afterward. “We had the ability to go on runs against
anybody.” Lake Forest (28-3), following a pair of Boudreaux free throws with 41 seconds remaining, cut Stevenson’s advantage to 52-49. The run ended there. Stevenson scored the final five points, including a fast-break dunk by Patriots sophomore forward Justin Smith (17 points) right before the final buzzer. “Great team,” LaScala said of his team. “The guys loved each other, loved competing. They had a lot of fun together. They knew how to keep things loose in practice. “I was proud of the way this team came back [in the fourth quarter]. The way our guys executed at the end … that was one of my favorite moments this season. This team showed a ton of composure. I learned a ton from this team.” Students of the game must have marveled at Boudreaux’s 30-point, 20-rebound performance in his final night in a LFHS hoops outfit. The Dartmouth College recruit tallied 15 of his team’s 22 points in the fourth quarter, after grabbing eight of his team’s 11 rebounds in the third quarter.The second of his two dunks in the second half — a rapid, net-fraying act at 6:53 of the fourth quarter — was ardent and resplendent and violent. “He was focused. He’s got something a lot of kids don’t have,” LaScala said of Boudreaux, the program’s all-time leading scorer (2,077 career points) and rebounder (1,296 career boards). “He plays like that in practice every single day.” He declined to speak to journalists afterward. Boudreaux apologized for the decision. Traynor spoke. Traynor (7 rebounds, 4 assists) praised the big man and the rest of the team. “That’s the kind of player [Boudreaux] is, what he did in the fourth quarter,” the guard said. “He is the best to ever play for this program. How he played tonight … we expected that from him. “Great group of guys,” he added. “We had great times to-

gether, great chemistry.” Scouts junior forward Lorenzo Edwards, a burgeoning force, finished with 14 points, six rebounds, four assists and three blocks. He shot 7-for-10 from the field. His put-back bucket, at 1:25 of the fourth quarter, pared the Pats’ lead to 52-47. It turned out to be the Scouts’ final field goal of the season. “Our guys showed tremendous will as they came back in the fourth quarter,” LaScala said. “They never gave up. I appreciated that.” Stevenson senior guard Jalen
Brunson — the only player from Illinois to be named a McDonald’s All-American — scored 25 points. He made only one field goal in the second half, but it was a big one, a dramatic one. Brunson launched an off-balance three-pointer as time neared 0:00 in the third quarter. The ball went in as he fell backward near a sideline, not far from where his father, former NBA player Rick Brunson, was sitting. The son then hit all eight of his free-throw attempts in the final quarter.
Notable: Boudreaux finished 22 points and came down with 11 of his 22 rebounds in the fourth quarter of Lake Forest’s 54-47 defeat of Evanston Township High School in a Waukegan Sectional semifinal on March 11. Edwards (12 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks), Scouts senior guard Noah Karras (9 points), Vogrich (6 points, 4 assists) and Traynor (5 points, 4 assists) also played significant roles. Vogrich guarded Evanston’s highly regarded Nojel Eastern, a 6-4 sophomore guard. Eastern (18 points) went a com-
bined 2-for-10 from the field in the first three quarters. “Steve’s defense on Eastern was incredible,” LaScala said. “He battled him. Steve’s length (6-7) frustrated Eastern.” … Lake Forest’s victory total (28) this winter surpassed the program’s previous single-season record by five. LaScala’s 2008-09 squad went 23-5. The 2014-15 season was LaScala’s tenth at the school. … Stevenson assistant boys basketball coach Paul Swan, on Boudreaux: “He’s tough. He’s a bulldog. He’s strong and mentally tough and tenacious.”

Stopped cold — by a hot goalie New Trier Green manages only one goal in state semifinal loss to Benet Academy
BY BILL MCLEAN sports@northshoreweekend.com
S
ome boys fell to the ice as soon as it was over. Their knees hit the surface first, followed by their gloved hands. They stayed there, heads bowed, for several minutes, green-clad athletes feeling blue. Top-seeded New Trier Green — the two-time reigning Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) Blackhawk Cup state champion and winner of 51 games this winter — had just lost a 2-1 state semifinal to fourth-seeded Benet at Edge West in Bensenville on March 16. NT Green took 40 shots to Benet’s 22. Green senior defenseman Sam Weinstein took the first shot of the game, 17 seconds in, as the champs came out flying, Indy cars on skates to Benet’s go-karts on skates. Benet goaltender Justin Davidson (39 saves) withstood the barrage, making stop after stop after stop. He blanked Green in the first and third periods. New Trier knotted the semi at 1-1 when senior forward Harry Jones solved Davidson with 5:05 left in the second period. The shot traveled between seven and eight feet. Senior forward Ryan Petterson provided the assist, sliding a pretty centering pass after some relentless forechecking. “We finally got it in close, in tight,” NT Green coach Bob Melton said. “Harry then got the shot up high. “We had a lot more scoring chances than they had. You have to be able to score more than one goal with the number of shots we took. Their goalie played great. Our goalie [senior Jack Junge, 20 saves] played great.” Forward Robert Ernsting scored both Benet goals, the first coming at the 15:15 mark of the second period. Only 4:04 was left in regulation when he netted the clincher, on a rebound following a shot by Mitchell Plonka. Green senior forward Brent Segvich took a vicious slap shot shortly thereafter. Benet then went 0-for-2 against an empty net. A desperate NT Green squad (5111-1) kept the heat on in the final 30 seconds. Senior defenseman Graham Soman sent a scorcher toward Davidson with about two ticks left. Davidson stopped the high, hard shot to secure a berth for Benet in this weekend’s state final against Glenbrook North at the United Center. “One goal short,” Melton said. “We were on the other side of that [vs. Providence] in a semifinal last year. Our team had a very good season. I’m happy for the boys.” NT Green had dealt with lofty expectations all season. It was shooting for a third straight state championship and 13th overall. Its roster featured seniors, only seniors. Twenty-two, to be exact.

Teams could not wait to battle Illinois hockey’s perennial power, Illinois hockey’s New England Patriots. “There was pressure to keep [the string of state titles] going,” Melton admitted. But it was the good kind of pressure. NT Green players welcomed it, thrived under it, enjoyed it. They then ran into a hot goalie. The hardest thing to face in hockey playoff games is a hot goalie. Ask any coach, any player. Davidson was on fire on March 16, a five-alarm job in pads and a helmet. “You get 40 shots in a game … you have to score more than we did,” Petterson said. “We dominated. We didn’t score enough. Their goalie was amazing.” A distraught Petterson, like his teammates, had a hard time accepting Green’s playoff run had ended one win short of
another game at the United Center. He stood in a hallway, a few feet from his team’s locker room following the state semifinal loss. He was still dressed in his green uniform, a day before St. Patrick’s Day. “How close we were,” Petterson said of what will be one of his fondest memories of the 2014-15 season. “We were friends at practices. We were friends after practices, hanging out and doing things together.”
Green trailed 3-1 after two periods, before getting goals from Sam Berman, Jack Dolby and Jones. Ben Laukkanen had scored Green’s first goal of the game in the second period. Junge collected 21 saves, two fewer than his counterpart, Ryan Kochman. Thomas Cahill, John Raith and Griffin Powell each scored a goal for Blue. Assists for Green came from Sam Weinstein, Colin McBride, Jones, Laukkanen and Brad Glass.

No curbing her enthusiasm Charged-up Caldwell brings a high skill level — and plenty of vitality — to Loyola hockey team BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
V
alerie Caldwell sits in a lobby area of Centennial Ice Rink in Wilmette. Somebody reminds the Loyola Academy sophomore forward of her selection as one of only six female hockey players to be named to the 2015 Chicago Blackhawk Alumni Association All-Star Team. Caldwell shifts her 5-foot-7 frame, covers her cheeks with both hands and triples the size of her eyes. The Glenview resident shifts again. She beams, revealing a mouthful of braces that might come off any day — either because she smiles hard at least 512 times a day or because her teeth appear super straight under the metal. “That was the coolest thing!” Caldwell shouts. “I sat next to [Blackhawks defenseman] Brent Seabrook at the banquet. Brent Seabrook! Can you believe that? I told him I watched a game he played against Detroit. I told him I sat near the glass. He’s so fast, so good.” Seabrook — yes, Seabrook! — would have been impressed had he watched Caldwell play in LA’s 8-2 defeat of Maine in an Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) Blackhawk Cup state quarterfinal at Centennial Ice Rink on March 12. Forget her two goals and three assists. Caldwell negotiated her way around the ice swiftly and effortlessly and smoothly. She looked frighteningly efficient, too good for the competition, cool … veteran cool. Do people learn to skate before they learn to walk? If so, Caldwell is one of those people. Must be one of those people. “She’s strong, with a very good shot,” says LA coach Conor Sedam, whose 17-4-5 club, the reigning state runner-up, was scheduled to face Lake Forest in a state semifinal at Edge East in Bensenville on March 17. “Valerie’s combination of knowing when to keep the puck and when to pass the puck … that part of her game, that combination, has improved this year.” Caldwell had scored 37 goals and fed 17 assists in 24 games through March 12. She also plays AAA hockey for Chicago Mission’s U16 team this winter. Caldwell paces that team in
points. Caldwell practices with Chicago Mission’s U19 squad, another honor she rates as “cool.” Before celebrating her fifth birthday, Caldwell spent two years learning how to figure skate. Something was missing, though. Taller, older people skated with sticks and moved pucks. She watched. She wondered. Her question to herself and to others within earshot (or the bulk of Illinois’ population) was, “Why can’t I play hockey?” She got to play hockey, well before mastering the multiplication tables. She fell for hockey. Hard. Clean-check-into-theboards hard. Her first stick was a pink wooden one. “I was ready to play, so ready,” Caldwell recalls. “Ready to take on boys.” Caldwell glided and scored for Glenview Stars teams, helping a U12 team capture a national championship. One of her Stars teammates was Tess Dettling, a darting forward from Wilmette. Dettling is a sophomore forward for Loyola Academy these days. Dettling scored the game-tying goal, late in the third period, of last year’s state championship at the United Center. Dettling soared to celebrate the big goal against New Trier. She came down and settled into the reliable arms of forwardturned-outfielder-on-skates Caldwell. “Valerie is outgoing, definitely outgoing, on and off the ice,” Dettling says. “She has upped her game overall. Her speed, the way she uses her body, her goal-scoring ability … she’s very good. “Her personality,” she adds, “is unique, different. She’s pretty funny.” Think of the most gregarious person you know. Now multiple the energy of that person by 10, and you will have a pretty good idea of what it is like to be around Caldwell, the youngest of Craig and Janet Caldwell’s four children. Some people seize days. Valerie Caldwell squeezes the daylights out of days and usually doesn’t let go of them until she falls asleep. “I’m enthusiastic. I’m loud,” Caldwell says. “I’m talkative. I like

letting people know I’m around. You should see me in classrooms. You should hear me in classrooms. When I see a teacher in the morning, I immediately shout, ‘Good morning!’ It’s a great life, being a student at Loyola Academy, being a hockey player. I’ve had great opportunities and great support from my parents.” Caldwell played hockey games for her Chicago Mission team in St. Louis last weekend. A weekend of five hockey games is a ho-hum weekend for her in the winter months. Have stick, will skate. Often. She plays with
as much vim in the first period of a busy hockey weekend as she does in the last period of a busy hockey weekend. “She is always happy to be at a rink,” Sedam says. “A rink is her favorite place. I remember a Saturday night game this season, at Upper Fox Valley. There’s Valerie, raising and pumping her arms to get the crowd going. She has the most energy of any player I’ve ever coached. She can change the demeanor of the whole team, for the better, on the ice or on the bench just by being herself.
“It’s impossible,” he adds, “to not be in a good mood when you’re around her.”
Notable: Caldwell, Dettling and five other Loyola Academy hockey players were named 2015 AHAI all-staters. Freshman goaltender Tianna Lavalle, senior defenseman Courtney Cheevers, junior defenseman Margaret Cusick, freshman forward Anne Bloomer and junior forward Emma Wright also competed as all-state White Team honorees against an allstate Red Team earlier this
winter. … Lavalle stopped seven shots in LA’s 8-2 state quarterfinal defeat of visiting Maine on March 12. In addition to Caldwell’s two-goal, three-assist night, Cusick scored a goal and dished an assist, and freshman Mathilda Sullivan provided two assists at Centennial Ice Rink in Wilmette. Dettling, Cheevers, senior Kathleen O’Connor, senior captain Nicole Matousek and sophomore Charlotte Langill each scored a goal for the victors. Wright, LA’s alternate captain, and junior Leah Cruger delivered assists.

Onward, Hallvard Promising future awaits Highland Park’s Lundevall
BY KEVIN REITERMAN. sports@northshoreweekend.com
H
allvard Lundevall made a touchdown catch this past fall that retired football coach Hal Chiodo still is unable to get out of his mind. And he hopes it never does. The leaping grab is stuck in the deep crevices of Chiodo’s brain. Unforgettable. “I often replay it in my mind,” said Chiodo. “I hate to think where we would have been without it.” Lundevall’s spectacular catch in Week Nine helped the Giants beat Glenbrook North and finish the regular season with a 9-0 record. Now, jump ahead to March — with all of its madness. In a Class 4A sectional semifinal game at Mundelein High School, Lundevall was put on the spot. With 11.8 seconds left in the game, and HP holding a onepoint lead against New Trier, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound senior stepped to the foul line and calmly hit both ends of a oneand-one. Like that TD grab in the GBN end zone, the moment wasn’t too big for Lundevall. He embraced it. “I was happy to be there,” he said. “I went to the line with a lot of confidence. I wasn’t going to let the pressure of the moment control my emotions. I just went through my routine: take a deep breath, imagine the ball going in and shooting it. “It felt good to come through in that kind of game (regional semifinal) and on that kind of stage,” added Lundevall. His two free throws sealed a 44-41 victory and secured a 20-win season. “Hallvard hasn’t been in that situation a lot — only a few times in his career,” said HP head coach Paul Harris. “Guys need to be special in a situation like that,” the coach added. “And Hallvard was.” Lundevall’s value to a team — football and basketball — is unquestioned. The same goes for his freakish athletic ability. It’s just been a little difficult, at times, for him to climb out of the shadows. Accolades — all-league
honors — have eluded him in both sports and gone to other worthy teammates. But don’t feel bad for this kid with the infectious smile and positive outlook. He’s been an important piece for two 20-win varsity basketball teams and two state-playoff football teams. Besides, his time in the limelight might be … around the corner. It’s “not set in stone” — just yet — but it’s likely that Lundevall, who will turn 18 on May 28, will enroll at a top prep school out East: Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. The route worked wonders for his older brother, Tellef Lundevall. After attending Phillips Exeter Academy — which, by the way, is Phillips Academy’s archrival — for a year and playing two sports (football and basketball), Tellef went on to Brown University and became a standout wide receiver. He is now playing professional basketball in Norway. “Prep school made a big difference for his brother,” said HP’s Luke Norcia. “And I think it would pay off for Hallvard, too. It’s an opportunity that he could take advantage of.” Chiodo describes Lundevall as a “classic late bloomer’ and a carbon copy of his older brother. “Hallvard is an extremely tough kid mentally,” Chiodo said. “But physically, he still needs to fill out quite a bit. I didn’t coach Tellef, but guys at school tell me that Tellef was physically very similar to Hallvard . “And when I look at Hallvard, I just see a kid getting better and better,” Chiodo added. “He was one of the our leaders of the pack. He was a big part of our backbone. And he clearly was an all-conference receiver for us. But he got caught in the numbers game (nine Giants made allconference). I feel the same way about (defensive end) Jason Shulruff.” Highland Park’s receiverfriendly offense — a spread formation featuring three wideouts — allowed Lundevall to blossom. The trio of Lundevall, Norcia

and Jack McGuire — known as the “Hands Squad” — was highly productive. And entertaining. Lundevall, who missed three
games due to injury, was targeted 30 times and came down with 17 catches for 293 yards and five touchdowns. He averaged 17.1 yards per catch.
“Usually, a high school football team might have one really good wide receiver to go along with some average ones,” said Chiodo. “We had three guys with
unique abilities. Luke was a jackof-all-trades kind of guy. McGuire was your classic receiver with great hands. And Hallvard was a big receiver who could go up and make plays.” Lundevall also lined up on the defensive side of the ball, as a DB. He was a two-year starter with three career interceptions. Similarly, he was solid on both ends of the basketball court this winter. The former hoops ball boy (2007-08) led the 20-8 Giants in rebounds (133) and block shots (17), while he was second in steals (43) and third in points (166). And among starters, he shot a team-best 70 percent from the foul line. “What I like about Hallvard is that he always brings the positive energy,” said Norcia. “He never thinks we’ll lose a game. He always fights until the very end.” Being the team’s chairman of the boards was important to the high-flying Lundevall. “I take a lot of pride in rebounding,” he said. “My brother told me how important rebounds are. College coaches love to see you rebound. It’s all about desire. I always think of (Mundelein High School grad) Ben Brust and how he rebounded at Wisconsin. He was crazy on the boards.” Tellef Lundevall, who is averaging 12.7 points and 8.2 rebounds for his team in Norway (Baerum Basket), might be pretty far away right now (a 12-hour flight), but his influence on Hallvard remains far-reaching. “Tellef taught me to never be satisfied (as an athlete). Continue your athletic career and keep wanting more,” said Lundevall. “Playing pro basketball is another example of him not giving up and wanting to continue. That has helped me to be passionate about athletics.” His dad, Torjus, also is very much into sports. He played basketball for the Junior National Team in Norway. “My dad taught me a lot of about being a competitor,” he said. “He talks a lot about showing poise and being calm under pressure.”

efty Alex Bancila scraped up his left arm something fierce. Righty Brian Uihlein strained a calf muscle that had been tender. The men’s doubles partners — Bancila lives in Lake Bluff; Uihlein starred for Lake Forest High School tennis teams in the 1980s — sustained both injuries at about the same time, as they battled in a Round of 16 match at the American Platform Tennis Association (APTA) Nationals earlier this month at Glen View Club in Golf. “It was kind of a bummer,” the 39-year-old Bancila recalls. “We had great momentum going for us before we both went down.” The 14th-seeded pair finished the match but had to default a consolation-round match on March 7. Bancila and Uihlein each had another regular doubles partner three year ago when they decided to compete in a tournament in Indianapolis. They won it. They started playing together

regularly this year. The event at Glen View Club was their fourth of 2015; Bancila-Uihlein fell to top-seeded tandems at the first three tourneys. “Platform tennis is an addictive sport,” says Bancila, speaking for countless other enthusiasts of the winter sport (also called paddle). The platform tennis community on the North Shore is small, but it’s a passionate community, an extremely passionate one. “The Chicago area,” he adds, “is a platform tennis hotbed.” Uihlein, a 2008 national doubles champ, is considered an innovator among paddle cognoscenti, locally and nationally. He cut spin shots that had never been struck in the sport. “Players,” Bancila says, “have been copying his spin shots for years.” Uihlein and John Noble captured the 1986 state doubles title as members of the LFHS Scouts tennis team. Another former state tennis champion, New Trier

High School graduate Wendy Shpiz, teamed up with fellow Winnetkan Jane McNitt in the women’s doubles draw of APTA Nationals at Glen View Club. They lost a Round of 16 match to Northfield’s Liz Hayward and Northbrook’s Hallie Bodman. Shpiz topped the state tennis singles field in 1992, when she was a New Trier Trevian named Wendy Fix. Jared Palmer was half of the men’s doubles champion at Wimbledon in 2001 and half of the men’s championship duo at the Australian Open in 1995. He earned a No. 1 world tennis ranking in doubles in 2000. The same Jared Palmer, of Norwalk, Conn., hit winners on paddle courts in Golf, collaborating
with New Jersey native Drew Broderick to win the men’s doubles title at APTA Nationals on March 8. “If you’re a tennis player, you already have a foundation for playing platform tennis … and playing it well,” says Bancila, who grew up in Bucharest, Romania, and lived in New York from 1996-2010 before moving to the North Shore. “It’s a great sport. It’s a social sport. It’s also a great winter activity for areas that lack outdoor options in the winter.”
Notable: Chelsea Nusslock — a Lake Forest High School graduate who placed fourth in singles at the 2003 state girls tennis meet — and Western Springs resident Mary Doten
finished second in women’s doubles at APTA Nationals in Golf on March 8. Several other entrants with North Shore ties fared well in the men’s and women’s doubles draws: Wilmette’s Ben McNight/Winnetka’s Pete Rose (quarterfinalists); Lake Bluff ’s David Ohlmuller (Round of 16, with Mark Johnson of Libertyville); Glenview’s Paget Neave (Round of 16, with Adam Morgan of Mundelein); Lake Bluff ’s Dane Schmidgall (Round of 16, with Northbrook’s Mike Marino); Winnetka’s Scott Bondurant (Round of 16, with Casey Watt of Pittsburgh); Lake Bluff ’s Marina Ohlmuller (Round of 16, with Andrea Noyes of New Jersey); Lake Bluff ’s Kelly Rohr-
bach (Round of 16, with Downers Grove’s Suzanne Lemery); and Lake Forest’s Ania Kazakevich (Round of 16, with Ohioan Heather Prop). … Before the start of APTA Nationals earlier this month, Region 5 (players from the North Shore) finished runner-up to a New England contingent in a team event on March 5. … Bancila, on local platform tennis facilities. “The Chicago area, in my opinion, is one of only three locations in the country capable of hosting a national tournament. The others are in New Jersey and Connecticut. The Chicago area always does a phenomenal job when it hosts nationals.” … Glen View Club is home to six paddle courts.
There's a Great Family Story Behind Every U.S. Shelter Home By Julie Morse
In 1969, Edmund Sorenson founded U.S. Shelter with the vision of creating quality family homes for Chicagoland, with both a personal and professional commitment to excellence in building and customer service. His son, Jack, would follow in his footsteps, joining the company first as a laborer and then moving gradually up its ranks, until becoming its President in 1984—a role he continues in today. His sons, John and Jim, join him on the leadership team today. Like their father and grandfather before them, each has learned the construction business from the ground on up, quite literally. Jack noted, "Dad always impressed upon me that we don't just build houses. We build homes for families, and we need to always honor that trust...listening to families' needs, earning their respect, and providing quality and service that extends beyond the closing. I
am very proud that my own sons are carrying on the U.S. Shelter legacy alongside me." John Sorenson joined the team full-time in 2003, working in various departments before taking on his current leadership role as Vice President of U.S. Shelter. John has also directed the company's Premier Homes portfolio for the past several years. Jim Sorenson is the newest addition to the executive team, focused on development projects. U.S. Shelter's North Shore portfolio focuses on a very limited number of new construction luxury homes annually, all located in premier north suburban walk-orbike-to-town locales. Currently the company has houses starting or finishing in Lake Forest, Lake Bluff and Highland Park, ranging from the high 900s to 1.3 million. All are energy-efficient traditional homes with flexible modern floor plans, high-end appointments and appealing architectural elements, inside and out. "We use local architects who excel at creating new homes that blend beautifully into established North Shore communities," said John, himself a Lake Bluff resident. "Thanks to the great continuity among our trades, some who have been with us over 15 years, we usually deliver within a sevenmonth time frame from ground-breaking."

Some U.S. Shelter homes are offered movein ready; others offer early buyers the opportunity to select finishes. Every home comes with an extensive warranty; indeed U.S. Shelter was an early leader in establishing the Home Owner's Warranty Program. Jack Sorenson is a past President of the HOW program, and has also served as President of the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicagoland (HBAGC) and HBA of Illinois, among other key building organizations. John Sorenson is Past President of the Chicagoland Young Builders Association and currently serves on the HBAGC Executive Committee. For additional information, visit: www.USShelterHomes.com.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST
Delivering fresh food to one’s doorstep By Simon Murray
I
’m sitting down to eat with Lior Lavy at Market House on the Square in Lake Forest, and the hostess places us a dropped napkin away from the hearth. As the fire flickers beside us, the décor — hanging lanterns, blackand-white photos of polo players, paintings of hunting dogs, and a map of Paris — provides a feeling akin to sitting in a hunting lodge designed by Ernest Hemingway. Written on the lunch specials rests this quote: “More important than food pairing is the person with whom you drink the wine.” Attributed to Christian Moueix, the French vintner, it’s hard to imagine Papa not wholeheartedly agreeing with the truthfulness in that notion. And even though Lavy and I stick to water and a shot of espresso for lunch, the quotation certainly applies even now. The noon siren roars from City Hall a block away. “This is interesting,” says Lavy, contemplating the noise. “This is a sound I’m used to hearing in Israel, not here.” The noise trails off, and the server takes our order. Lavy chooses the mushroom risotto and the soup of the day, which happens to be chicken tortilla. Since moving to the United
States a year and a half ago, the chief operating officer of Artizone has had to adjust to more than just a siren announcing the time — instead of alerting the general populace to a potential missile strike. Lunch has taken some getting used to as well. “If there is one big difference between Israel and the U.S., it is in the U.S, lunch equals sandwiches,” says Lavy, who admits “I can’t eat too much bread.” But even though he may not eat them, sandwiches, to some extent, are what brought Lavy here. One of five Israeli co-founders of Artizone, Lavy, a Highland Park resident, oversees the operations of the startup, an online food delivery service that specializes in connecting local artisans — such as butchers, confectioners, cheese mongers, and yes, even bread bakers — to metropolitan and suburban customers. After his mandatory conscription in the Israel Defense Force (IDF), Lavy, who was part of a special IDF intelligence corps, studied computer sciences and mathematics at Tel Aviv University. Even at a young age, he taught his peers computer programming in high school. Lavy was born and raised south of Tel Aviv in the city of Rishon LeZion. A longstanding target of the terrorist organiza-
tion Hamas, Rishon LeZion has endured countless bombings and long-range rockets. The groundwork for Artizone was laid when Lavy met Alex Zeltcer while both were working at the telecommunications firm Comverse. Though they would leave at around the same time to pursue different career paths, they eventually would work together at the Israeli branch of Dassault Systemes, the French software company specializing in the production of 3D design software. In 2009, together with three other partners, they started Artizone. At first, the founders weighed in on which industry to pursue, batting around ideas — kids clothing being one — until they hit on the idea of one artisan in particular: a jam maker. “All five of us started to talk about this jam-making lady more than anything else,” notes Lavy. “What would she need? How would we help her? And we started to talk more about food.” Food had always been a shared passion between Lavy and Zeltcer, who continued to stockpile the best utensils and ingredients for use in the kitchen, as well as flying to countries on business trips for days at a time and enjoying the best meals they could find in their roles as sales rep and manager.
In 2011, Artisan launched its website, creating the first Artizone community with five local artisans in Dallas. “And just before we went live, believe it or not, a jam-making lady sends me an email saying, ‘I heard about your service, what do I need to do to join?’” notes Lavy. “I couldn’t say no.” Over the past year, online grocery shopping has increased by more than 22 percent. The industry has the potential to grow exponentially over the next four years to $100 billion. To understand how shocking that is, one must take a walk through the graveyard of failed startups. It’s there that the bones of Webvan lie belly up. Since the dotcom crash, leaner, more streamlined businesses are reviving the online grocery marketplace. Even big players like Amazon and Wal-Mart are competing (with AmazonFresh and Wal-Mart Grocery). Lavy believes they can carve out their own space in this emerging market, and to do so effectively, they have learned from their predecessor’s mistakes and avoided warehouses altogether. In the process, Artizone has overcome the logistics

challenge of efficiently delivering perishable goods to the consumer from a myriad of individual, niche, mom-and-pop stores. Touting itself as a technology solution that brings the “farmer’s market to consumer’s doorsteps,” Artizone.com has since expanded from Dallas to include Chicagoland’s DuPage, Lake, and
When you boil it down, Artizone’s business model is all about “connecting small shops and businesses to consumers who care a little bit more about the food that they eat,” says Lavy, adding: “it’s all a question of density. If your delivery truck can make 10 drops in two hours it makes sense. If it can’t, then it doesn’t.”
