Fight against Parkinson’s comes to North Shore

he Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates that more than 60,000 people are diagnosed with the condition each year. That staggering statistic, coupled with new research showing that targeted exercises can actually slow the progression of the disease, have inspired two local fitness groups to offer new programs specifically designed for this population. Er ic Johnson sta r ted Movement Revolution in 2014 as a personal training service for people with physical impairments from arthritis or strokes and chronic diseases like Parkinson’s. It was something Johnson was affected by firsthand as a physiologist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. “I saw the need to offer that on a wider scale, not just in downtown Chicago,” he said. Today, Movement Revolution is a home-based service that services residents (mostly age 65 and older) in and around the North Shore. As well Johnson rents studio space at the Trainers Club in Northbrook for those “who can benefit psychologically from going to a location,” he

said. “People with disabilities often don’t think they can exercise or think that this is the end of life as they know it whereas it’s really important to continue being active,” he noted. “There is research that the incidence of re-injury or progression of a disease is high if someone is not following a fitness program.” Johnson targets the exercises to each individual client and said results depend on the stage or severity of the illness. “It could be six months or two years to see results, but I hope with each client to reach a level where they don’t need me anymore and can exercise on their own and live their lives,” he says. He points to one example of a client who had poor balance and was generally weak; a goal of hers was to get back to her favorite hobby of golfing and be able to travel again on her own to visit her grandchildren in college. Together she and Johnson began working on core strength and intensive exercises pushing her heart rate to a safe level. Continues on page 14

Every week tons of garbage is collected on the North Shore. Photography by Joel Lerner

Garbage in, garbage out

Which North Shore town produces the most waste — and where does it go?

ith spring-cleaning season upon us, we wanted to know the details about trash collection in the suburbs. Using data provided by several North Shore administrations, we calculated the annual per capita totals of household waste disposal. We also looked at recycling and yard waste data. Winnetka residents are at the top of the heap when it comes to annual household waste disposal, but the 808 pounds of garbage per person is somewhat skewed because the residential refuse total provided by the village contained some commercial refuse as well, said Winnetka Public Works Analyst Dan Lee. Lake Forest residents throw out 702 pounds of household waste per person. Highland Park residents, meanwhile, toss 459 pounds of household trash per person — the least amount compared to the other suburbs we evaluated. Here’s how seven North Shore communities handle garbage, recycling and yard waste; information comes from public works officials from each community and reflects 2014 totals.

Men’s salon takes advantage of grooming craze

hether one blames it on “Mad Men,” the recent beard craze or the persistent obsession with youthful appearances, male grooming is at an all-time premium — and retailers and salon owners are finding an opportunity to attract a growing client base.

According to Statista, the global male grooming market will be worth $21.4 billion by 2016, up from $17 billion in 2012 and on a steady upswing. A further report by CNBC finds this so-called “mampering” trend to be overtaking the U.S. at rapid rates. While specialty shops like The Art

Of Shaving and Q Brothers (an arm of Merz Apothecary) and male-catered salons like Wax Man Spa and HALO for Men have been popping up all over Chicago, men on the North Shore now have a new spot to call home. In March, Eighteen Eight Men’s Salon (stylized as 18|8) opened in the Glenbrook Market Place. It’s

name is a metaphor for transforming men to look their best and scientifically refers to the chemical interaction of chromium and nickel to create polished stainless steel. The salon is described on its website as “an upscale haven that caters [to] and understands the Continues on page 14

FIRST WORD

It’s been a real game changer

David Sweet

erhaps watching dozens of tuxedo-clad college players descend from high-end buses before strolling to a gold carpet triggered the thought it would be different this time. Or perhaps the black Labrador sniffing my laptop carrying case for incendiary devices outside the Auditorium Theatre prompted the musing. Or it could have been Buckingham Fountain changing colors each time National Football League teams announced their No. 1 draft pick among thousands of festivalgoers. Of course, those scenes took place outside. Inside the doors, the predraft introduction of No. 1 prospects by an emcee who sounded like a dance club veteran seemed a tad different from that Saturday afternoon in New York City in 1996. So were video boards and a movie screen showing football highlights. Beyond the unending chants of “J-E-T-S!” inside the Theater at

Madison Square Garden 19 years ago, little excitement infused the NFL Draft that day, the only other draft I had covered until the prime-time spectacle in Chicago on April 30. The streets around the Garden were filled with many who likely had no idea the annual selection of college talent was occurring a field goal away. Inside the New York theater, there was nothing to look at, nothing to do. Those smart enough to bring a newspaper or magazine could engage themselves in the days before iPhones; others just stared, counting the seconds in boredom until the next pick, envying the TV audience who watched talking heads assess the ramifications of a just-announced selection. Give the league credit: The NFL Draft has become not just a must-see television event but a must-attend event. Despite expected glitches for a first-time attempt (or, to be exact, the first draft in about half a century in Chicago), passionate fans enjoyed

“Beyond the unending chants of ‘J-E-T-S!’ inside the Theater at Madison Square Garden 19 years ago, little excitement infused the NFL Draft that day.” the football-crazed weekend in the city. Back in the 20th century, the league didn’t really think about engaging the few thousand fans on site, given that the big fish was the TV audience. Today, it not only keeps the

auditorium audience entertained but draws a stream of visitors to NFLrelated fun in the vicinity. Of course, Bear fans cared not about the bells and whistles in the auditorium once the seventh pick arrived. Cheers erupted when the Lake Forest-based franchise announced wide receiver Kevin White as its top choice, eliminating a few bad memories of No. 1 picks (Shea McClellin?) which caused consternation and ultimately despair among the faithful. And those usually boisterous Jets fans? Their J-E-T-S cheers were so meek compared to that day in Manhattan, it was like the difference between the yipping of a Chihuahua and a roar of a Bear. Enjoy the weekend.

PARKINSON’S Continued from page 1

“She didn’t like me a whole lot initially,” Johnson joked. But today, she has progressed to the point now that she uses no assisted devices and is almost fully independent and travels to visit Johnson in his offsite gym. It’s a similar reaction that Samuel Rodriguez Jr. finds with his clients at Falcon Boxing Gym. In December, the Glenview fitness center started offering a local chapter of Rock Steady Boxing, “the only boxing program of its kind that teaches the fundamentals of boxing while focusing on overall fitness and well-being for those living with Parkinson’s Disease.” The workouts are non-contact and offer training in optimal agility,

The program has 10 participants who meet Tuesday and Thursday afternoons; the youngest is in their 30s while the oldest is in their 80s.

Rather than run out the clock, theatre gets second life at Lake Forest High School. His acting and directing credits include leading Calvin Klein’s couture shows, serving as board chairman of a world-class dance company and acting in soap operas such as “All My Children.” Sanders has already begun injecting new life into the theater, which is next door to the iconic Genesee Theater in downtown Waukegan. He directed the theater’s most successful production, “Mr. Benny,” in January and added a new show, “Breakneck Hamlet,” to the 2015 season, scheduled to open May 29. “Madelyn Sergel is a courageous artist,” Sanders said. “She had a real feel for establishing a destination theater in Waukegan, which is a challenge. The whole mission statement behind Clockwise is to do new work — work that is significant, adventurous, exciting and diverse.” In October, “Madelyn and I hit

lockwise Theatre board members — including Melanie Rummel of Lake Forest —considered closing the five-year-old Waukegan production house when its founder, Madelyn Sergel of Gurnee, decided to retire. But then Rummel learned her friend Bob Sanders, a successful New York actor and businessman, had returned to his hometown of Lake Forest to care for an aging parent. The timing was perfect. Sanders met Sergel, and “Madelyn loved him immediately,” Rummel said. “They clicked.” Sanders agreed to become the new artistic director. Rummel and Sanders grew up in Lake Forest and acted together in many school productions including “Oklahoma” at Deer Path Middle School and

the ground running, along with managing director Pat Kerr,” he said. She had scheduled “Mr. Benny,” a one-man show starring in a play by Mark Humphrey about Waukegan native Jack Benny. “As it played out, it was far and away Clockwise Theatre’s biggest box office success,” said Sanders. “We had almost 700 people who came through. It’s a challenge to take contemporary work and to showcase it, plays people don’t know and in downtown Waukegan, which has its own challenges.” For the early part of the 20th century, Waukegan was a “rich and vital center until the 1960s,” Sanders said. Then it experienced a downturn and now, people “are working very hard to revitalize Waukegan.” Rummel added, “There is a whole movement to revitalize the arts scene in Waukegan. Housing for artists has been

established, too. The more we can do in the county to have destinations, bring people into the county and into Waukegan, the better. It creates jobs, and jobs are the bottom line.” Rummel is an attorney and adjunct professor of law at Loyola University of Chicago Law School. She has been active in the community for years, serving as president for various women’s and school boards and director on boards, including the Gorton Community Center in Lake Forest. She said she was happy when asked to join the Clockwise Theatre board several years ago. Coming up is a fifth show Sanders added to Clockwise Theatre’s season. Tim Mooney, a recognized Shakespearean interpreter and playwright, will perform “Breakneck Hamlet,” Sanders said. “It’s Hamlet in an hour, with him playing all the roles,” he said. The second act will be

Shakespeare on Demand in which Mooney will take audience requests to do a scene from Shakespeare and explain it, Sanders said. Sanders is planning Clockwise Theatre’s 2016 season and said he’s excited about his new challenge. “I lived in New York City for

40 years,” he said. “There’s a different rhythm there, and there’s a different sense with what I’m doing right now. The Clockwise experience is so vital and so exciting on a daily basis. Nothing in my personal experience has equaled it for many, many years.” For more information, visit clockwisetheatre.org.

Standout students

Youngsters become good citizens through project By Jake Jarvi

or 15 years, the students at Elm Place School in Highland Park have participated in the Project Citizen program, where seventh-graders examine problems in their own community, come up with solutions, and present them to city decision makers. “I’ve always loved the Project Citizen program because it gives students the opportunity to really evaluate and investigate a problem in the community and make a difference at their young age,” says Dr. Mark Nolan Hill of Highland Park, who has volunteered for the Project Citizen program since Elm Place School first got involved. “For 15 years I’ve seen what it does for the students in

terms of their confidence, their productivity, and their feelings of goodwill. This is a chance for the students to really shine and get involved in their community like in no other way I’ve seen.” In 2000, the first year Elm Place School participated in Project Citizen, students attacked the problem of ravine erosion and were selected to represent Illinois at the Project Citizen National Showcase — where they were awarded a blue ribbon. Over the years, they’ve addressed immigration, mercury in the environment, Lake Michigan pollution, bullying and more. They’ve received letters of commendation from public officials such as Governor Pat Quinn and Mayor

Richard M. Daley. This year, as the new common core curriculum set by National Board of Education occupies the entirety of seventh- and eighth-grade social studies class time, the sixthgrade class at Elm Place School is taking up the challenge of Project Citizen. The students decided to address the issue of reforesting Highland Park in the wake of the emerald ash borer infestation which is demolishing the North Shore’s ash tree population. “We have three to five people in each group, and each group works on solutions,” says Bailey, an 11-year-old sixth grader working on Project Citizen. “We get to work with our friends on it and hear each other’s ideas. I think it’s actu-

ally really cool that it’s a program that teaches kids how they can get involved in their community.” On Friday, May 8, the sixthgrade class is spending the day presenting its proposed solutions to a simulated legislative hearing panel made up of Dr. Hill, Mayor Nancy Rotering, Councilwoman Alyssa Knobel, and others. On Monday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m., select students will present their solutions to Rotering and the city council. “Before this, none of us knew that we could get involved with local government stuff,” says Jason, a 12-year-old sixthgrader at Elm Place School. “We didn’t know that we could submit our ideas and help solve problems.

ArcLight unveils unique cinema experience in Glenview

ASSISTED LIVING FOR TODAY’S INDEPENDENT-MINDED ADULT

he more accustomed people get to watching movies on their big TVs at home, the less accustomed they are to movie-theater etiquette. People talk loudly to their friends, light up their cellphone screens in the middle of a dark theater, take phone calls without heading to the lobby — the list of inconsiderate distractions rolls on. It’s different these days in Glenview. “The whole design of ArcLight is about layers of discovery and minimizing distractions,” says Steve Green, vice president of operations for ArcLight Cinemas. The ArcLight Glenview, which opened its doors in the former Regal Glen 10 in The Glen Town Center on May 1, is a cinema experience developed in Hollywood to prioritize the communal theatrical experience. All 10 auditoriums feature a black-box design aesthetic — featuring dark seats, floors, and walls — keeping the screen the bright focal point of the room. The projection and audio equipment are designed to exceed THX standards of presentation excellence. The auditoriums forgo preshow entertainment, run no commercials, and show only three previews before each fea-

ture. Each film is introduced by an ArcLight employee, who then remains in the auditorium for the first few minutes of the feature to insure projection and sound are up to their standards and that no one in the auditorium is causing distractions. ArcLight was the first theater chain in the nation to offer reserved seating in every auditorium. You choose your seats the way you would for a flight, on one of several touchscreen kiosks in the lobby or online ahead of time. They have a massive “departure board” in the lobby with countdown times to each film screening. Sale of tickets stops five minutes after a film’s start time and, to further minimize distractions, seating stops 10 minutes after a film starts. Even the presentation of concessions has been designed to keep them as distractionfree as possible. You’ll find no rustling paper or plastic containers; popcorn and candy come in boxes. The concession stand and the adjacent bar also integrate many local vendors. Five out of six beers on tap are local, from breweries such as Revolution Brewing Company in Chicago and Emmett’s Brewing Company in Palatine, and fresh bread is delivered from a Chicago bakery daily. To further capitalize on their motto of being “Where movie lovers belong,” they have a

bistro-style café serving small bites and a full bar menu for after-film discussions and a gift shop featuring books on film and a variety of goods related to both the films they show and film history and film culture in general. They host live-streamed Q&A sessions with filmmakers from their other locations and a relationship with the film studios allows them to occasionally display costumes and props from the films they program. Their programming consists of a mix of blockbuster films and smaller release independent films. Their “ArcLight Presents” series offers films from festivals that won’t be found in other theaters as well as a program of revival features with classics like Lawrence of Arabia, family features like E.T., and films of interest to the community in which they exist. ArcLight Glenview is kicking off its first “ArcLight Presents” with a screening of Sixteen Candles later this month. The Glenview location is only the second ArcLight location in the nation outside of California, Maryland got one last November, and a Chicago location will be opening in Lincoln Park come September. Says Green, “Glenview is a very sophisticated community, and we wanted to offer something distinctive in the moviegoing experience.”

Giving mac and cheese a little kick

head Chef Hilario Clavijo By Simon Murray

n the difficulty scale of cooking, macaroni and cheese — or “mac and cheese,” as it’s known in dorm Chef rooms and family kitchens — ANDY MOTTO trends closer to breakfast cereal than galantine or soufflé. A dish of English origin, one of the earliest recipes was recorded in “The Forme of Cury” (Forms of Cooking) written in the 14th century by the Master Cooks for the court of King Richard II. The simple recipe states: “Take and make a thynne foyle of dowh. Kerve it on peces, and cast hem on boillyng water and seeþ it wele. Take chese and

grate it and butter cast bynethen and above as losyns [a dish similar to lasagna] and serue forth.” Serve forth “a pie called macaroni” is exactly what Thomas Jefferson did at a state dinner in 1802. Jefferson had encountered the dish during his time in Paris and became enamored with it, drawing a sketch of the pasta and writing detailed notes. But not everyone at the state dinner shared his enthusiasm. “Dinner not as elegant as when we dined before,” noted one guest, who took a special dislike to the macaroni. “[It] appeared to be a rich crust filled

with strillions [sic] of onions, or shallots … tasted very strong, and not agreeable.” But tasting very strong is not always a bad thing. At Nick’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill in Wilmette, the head chef, Hilario Clavijo, has added his own twist to a classic American comfort food dish, making it no less complicated in preparation (aside from marinating and cooking pork shoulder) but more complicated in taste. “It has a little kick — ghost pepper cheese,” says Clavijo with a mischievous smile, adding, “You can make it at home, people who like it spicy or without spice. It’s easy to manage the dish.” Clavijo, it should be noted, likes a little spice. So many of the dishes — soups, salsas, pico de gallo, ceviche, roasted tomato sauce — at Nick’s share his zest. But after trying the mac and cheese, its really more flavorful than anything else. That’s also part of what makes Nick’s so appealing. Calvijo will use Al’s Meat Market across the street for the pork shoulder, get his charcoal from Backyard Barbecue, retrieve ice cream from Homer’s Ice Cream, and make daily specials based on what he can find at the farmers market during the summer. Meaning: sometimes, it’s the littlest of things that make the biggest difference.

Nick’s Restaurant’s Spicy “Three Way” Mac and Cheese Total Time: 6 hours Serves: 8

10 pounds pork shoulder 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 tablespoons onion powder 3 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon oregano 3 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon black pepper 2 tablespoon salt Mix all the ingredients. Cut the pork in half. Marinate the pork and smoke it for three hours (if cooking in oven, cook for five hours). Then turn your oven to 350 degrees. Place the pork in a heavy-duty pan with four cups of apple juice and two cups of water. Cover with foil and cook for three hours or until the meat is tender enough to shred.

Cheese Sauce 3 cups cheddar, shredded 3 cups Gouda, shredded 2 cups ghost pepper Monterey Jack, shredded 2 tablespoon garlic 2 tablespoon black pepper ½ gallon heavy cream

theater review

Lovers of farce can rejoice over new Citadel offering BY JILL SODERBERG

here’s affable entertainment on the Citadel Theatre stage in its current production of “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” a sex farce by French playwright Marc Camoletti, known for his comic, Tony Aw a rd-w i n n i ng sma sh , “Boeing, Boeing.” Set in a French country house, whose provenance — it’s a renovated barn — provides source material for some of the humor, the play, directed by Robert D. Estrin, centers on the philandering Bernard (Doug Schuetz). While his wife Jacqueline (Elizabeth Rude) spends the weekend visiting her mother, Bernard plans a tryst with his mistress, Suzanne (Angela Carrington). However, when Jac-

queline learns that Bernard’s best friend, Robert (Guy Wicke) — with whom she’s been having an affair — is coming to visit, she quickly cancels on her mother to be with her lover. The convoluted setup of infidelity and its complications is further entangled by a caterer, Suzette (Hannah Williams), whom Bernard has engaged for the evening and who over the course of the night serves the ensuing charade, pretending to be not only cook but also dinner guest as well as niece of Robert. Confusing? Yes. But we nearly follow it when Guy Wicke, whose Robert is the show’s stand-out performance, defends Bernard’s infidelity to Jacqueline, his mistress. His tone, at once light and profound — he allows us to follow his thought process as he

parses through this bizarre scenario — and sympathetic delivery mean we almost buy his madcap explanation: “We can’t blame Bernie for having a lover who was pretending to be my lover so you wouldn’t know she was his lover, while all the time I was your lover pretending to be her lover so that he wouldn’t know you know had a lover. Especially when his real lover was all the time pretending to be—to be….” “Pretending to be what?” asks Jacqueline. Mon Dieu, even Robert is confounded: “I’ve lost track of all the lovers,” he replies. Every member of the ensemble cast throws themselves into the material with zany commitment. There’s much gesticulating in pursuit of imaginary

insects, a significant amount of alcohol consumption fueling the action, a fair share of tumbling over the sofa, and excess at every turn. After all, this is farce, where neither restraint nor subtlety are valued or called for. One of the more successful scenes involves Bernard and Robert as they transform Suzette’s server costume into an alluring cocktail dress, a hilarious sight gag that allows her to switch roles from hired cook to spirited dinner guest. Acknowledging that audiences may be confused by the French and British accents in parallel on the same stage, Director Estrin offers in the program notes a thoughtful and lucid discussion of that issue as well as commentary on the “boulevard comedy,” a genre featuring exaggerations designed to entertain. The French accents present

a greater challenge to this cast than the British ones. And while I found the laugh-aloud moments more in the surprising revelations and the characters’ commentary on the chaos than in the broad physical humor, clearly there were lovers of farce in the audience on opening night who took giddy pleasure in The antics of “Don’t Dress for Dinner” at the escalations of ri- Citadel Theatre involve the entire ensemble: diculousness on stage.

Socials Preview Party Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens Photography by Robin Subar

Celebrating 30 years of design and dedication, the volunteers of the Lake Forest Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago kicked off the 16th Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens in style with a private Preview Party held at the renovated and redesigned former estate of screenwriter, director, and producer John W. Hughes Jr. The home, located in east Lake Forest, was a welcome challenge to the more than 25 interior designers and landscape artists who transformed the space into a visual delight for the hundreds that passed through. Funds raised from both the Preview Party and the open house that followed went toward the Angel Harvey Infant Welfare Society of Chicago Health Center. lakeforestshowhouse.com

Love & Marriage

divorce summons via Facebook?

Joanna Brown

f you met a friend for coffee and heard that her boyfriend broke up with her via voicemail or email, you’d waste no time lighting into him, right?

How disrespectful, I’d start with, followed by some reference to a note passed in junior high school. So I was similarly appalled by a recent report out of New York. A

Manhattan Supreme Court ruled March 27 that Ellanora Baidoo may send a divorce summons to her husband (who has no known permanent residence nor place of employment) via Faceboook; her attorney will communicate with the husband via private messages. Specifically, the attorney will send one message per week for three consecutive weeks, or until the husband acknowledges receiving the information. While an in-person summons should be the preferred method of serving a spouse with divorce papers, the court ruled, social media can be used as a last resort. Within the last 10 years courts have allowed email to be used in similar cases, in was noted, and so social media is the next logical extension. While the method is allowed, that doesn’t make it right. Consider the relationships you’ll end most often in this lifetime: those with an employer. No professional worth his or her salary would advocate for quitting a job via text

message, email or social media (though some companies now require a letter of resignation via email, best delivered after a faceto-face discussion with a manager).

“A company surveyed couples who had been in a relationship that ended in the last year and found that 56 percent of respondents had ended their relationship digitally.”

Consider some of the most outrageous public resignations. Viewers nationwide watched an Alaska news anchor resign with a curse word on the 10 p.m. broadcast in September in order to spend more time advocating for medical marijuana. Not only did she reporter make her point to management, she drew national attention for her advocacy group. A Taco Bell manager offered the same four-letter salute to his (former) employer on the glowing sign over the highway along with his resignation “I quit – Adam.” If I, too, had worked 22 days in a row so that I could have July 4 weekend off to travel with friends, I would have thought the same thing about a supervisor who changed his mind about the arrangement. The effort Adam made to express it is staggering. And then there was Greg Smith, who resigned his position at Goldman Sachs in a 2012 op-ed in the New York Times. He called out the investment

firm’s business principles – and likely grew interest in a memoir he published later that year. Book critics, however, were not swayed. There’s no question that we’ve all thought and said some pretty extreme things about our past employers, but we’ve had enough respect for ourselves and our colleagues to terminate the relationship in person. I believe we’d best do the same for our marital partners, no matter how much effort it takes to track them down. But maybe my feelings on this show my age. Coupon company Voucher Cloud surveyed couples who had been in a relationship that ended in the last year and found that 56 percent of respondents had ended their relationship digitally. The most popular option was text message (25 percent) and social media (20 percent). Only 11 percent opted for email. Is it ever OK to terminate a relationship in this manner? Share your thoughts in an email to joanna@northshoreweekend.com.

Brotherhood runs deep with New Trier lacrosse star Connelly

BY bill mclean, sports@northshoreweekend.com

en Connelly scored one goal on one good leg in a lacrosse game last week. The New Trier High School senior attackman and returning All-American tallied it in a 6-5 defeat of visiting Loyola Academy. It was a rematch of last year’s state championship, won by New Trier. But the highlight of Connelly’s day last week had nothing to do with his one goal on April 28. It had everything to do with $75,000. The schools’ boys and girls lacrosse programs raised that much money through their Loyola/New Trier Challenge doubleheader for Misericordia Heart of Mercy, home to 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities. One of Connelly’s brothers, 24-year-old Max, lives in an off-campus house near the 31-acre community of care in Chicago. He has Down syndrome. Max Connelly also has a zest for life and a knack for leading a busy, productive life. “That was such a sweet event, such a cool thing,” Ben Connelly says of the fundraiser (Loyola Academy defeated NT 16-9 in the girls’ game). “It will go down as one of the most memorable and special days in my life. It was a great event for my entire family. Misericordia has done so much for my brother. “Max,” he adds, “lives in a house with several other guys. Great guys, all of them. Max wakes up early every day, and he works on the main campus. He works in the bakery, the art center, a coffee shop. He loves it. I love that he never sits still.” Max’s not-so-little little brother — Ben stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds — had to stand along the Trevians’ sideline during New Trier’s 8-7 defeat of host Lake Forest High School on May 2. He right leg is not right; it’s injured. He had also missed the NT-Evanston clash, another NT win, two days after the doubleheader for Misericordia last week. “Not sure,” the Kenilworth resident says of his return date. “The important thing is to not push it, to make sure it’s healthy for the playoffs.” Connelly scored a goal in last year’s state championship, a 9-8 overtime thriller at Hinsdale Central High School. NT trailed Loyola Academy by two goals with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. The rally in regulation and then-senior middie Matt Solberg’s OT goal secured the 10th state title in program history. Connelly totaled 55 goals (tied for fourth for most goals in a season at NTHS) and finished with 83 points (sixth-best all-time at NTHS). He and senior attackman Steen Jorgensen (3 goals vs. Lake Forest High on May 2) pace this year’s club in scoring. NT (10-1) is ranked No. 1 in Illinois by laxpower.com. Connelly’s shot is a frighteningly good one. It is one of the many reasons the men’s lacrosse program at reigning NCAA Division III champion Tufts (Medford, Mass.) University can’t wait to welcome him with open sticks next spring. Connelly is adept at finding seams in defenses and firing Aroldis Chapman-fast shots at goalkeepers. A lax ball zinging from Connelly’s stick must look like an aspirin tablet to a goalkeeper. Or a white pea. Returning All-American Ben Connelly of Trevians fields a loose ball during earlier action this season. “Ben has one of the best shots in the country,” The Tufts recruit currently is sidelined with a leg injury.

Trevians coach Tom Herrala says. “He can score from anywhere inside 30 [yards]. He’s a leader, a great kid. It hurts, not having him [available for games].” Connelly found plenty of time to develop his shot as a freshman. That was all he could do, laxwise, after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the Trevians’ season opener. He whipped countless shots in his back yard, peppering a hardened, talented teen named Jack Connelly, aka Ben’s big brother and a three-time lacrosse state champion (2009-11) at NTHS. Jack is a junior goalkeeper at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, a nine-time NCAA Division I champion. “It got heated, quite competitive in our back yard,” recalls Ben Connelly, a product of the Kenilworth Lacrosse Club. “We both wanted to get better as players, as competitors. He’s had a big influence on me. He is such a hardworking kid. The example he set for me … I don’t have any other choice than to be a hardworking student and a hardworking lacrosse player. I’ll always be grateful for being around him when I was young. He handles himself well. He’s professional in a lot of ways. “Maybe I’ll get to work with him [post college] someday. That would be a dream job.” Ben Connelly was six years old when he handled a lacrosse stick for the first time. Shortly thereafter he practically looked for a bonfire to consume that piece of equipment. “I hated it at first,” he admits. “I couldn’t throw. I couldn’t catch.” He entered the third grade. Ben Connelly’s relationship with lacrosse turned friendly. He could throw. He could catch. As a fourth-grader, he joined the Kenilworth Lacrosse Club and learned all kinds of things about the sport from Chip Kenyon, the club’s director and head coach. Connelly and lacrosse have been a steady couple ever since. The “coach” in Connelly surfaced on a sideline during the game at Lake Forest High School’s West campus last weekend. “Ben was there for me during timeouts, handing me a water bottle and always having my back,” Jorgensen says. “He encouraged me, helped me. He’s a vocal leader for us. “He’s so intense,” attackman adds. “Even in practice … intense. Ben never takes it easy. What I also like about him is his friendliness. You can talk about anything with him.” One of Ben Connelly’s favorite subjects is Max Connelly. Ask Ben about the time his brother served as a Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse team manager in a Hopkins-Penn State game this spring. Hear Ben’s voice change. Hear Ben exude pure excitement. “Max spent the whole day with the team,” Ben says. “He loved it. What an experience. I’m hoping I can arrange something similar for him at Tufts.”

Notable: Colin Casas, Will Rossi, Nelson Gaechter, Kevin Mulhern and Todd Anastos struck f or a goal apiece in the win at Lake Forest High School on May. 2. Trevians goalkeeper Jonathan Anastos made several spectacular saves in balmy temperatures. … New Trier senior defenseman Jack Hill, like Connelly, earned All-America honors last spring.

Option ‘quarterback’ Tactical and talented Talaga spreads the sets to LA’s formidable front row BY bill mclean sports@northshoreweekend.com

is mom played volleyball in college and taught him the sport. Two of his aunts played competitive volleyball. One of his uncles spiked, blocked and served volleyballs. His grandfather coached the first boys volleyball team at Loyola Academy. If the head of a dandelion in Jack Talaga’s back yard looks a lot like a volleyball, would anybody be surprised? “Volleyball is a huge thing in my family,” says Talaga, the steady setter and a senior tri-captain for Loyola Academy’s 22-4 squad (8-1 in the Chicago Catholic League). “I love the competitive nature of the sport. It’s something I’ve always loved.” His mom, Marijo, was his first coach. She battled for teams at MacMurray College in downstate Jacksonville. Jack competed, mostly as a hitter, in grade school. The resident of Wildwood, a Chicago neighborhood, developed his game some more at DI Volleyball Club. Grandpa Bob Erlenbaugh, 71, knows a thing or 2,000 about volleyball. He served as Loyola Academy’s boys club volleyball coach for several seasons before the sport became an Illinois High School Association sport in 1992. His ’93 team lost only one match all spring — to eventual state champion Glenbrook North High School in a sectional final. Coach Erlenbaugh guided Ramblers teams to six straight CCL titles and 67 straight match victories in CCL action. He has been inducted into the Loyola Academy Hall of Fame and the CCL Hall of Fame. One of Erlenbaugh’s outside hitters in ’93 was current Ramblers coach Lionel Ebeling. “Jack is smooth and consistent, and he stays positive,” Erlenbaugh says of his 6-foot-1, 200pound grandson, a third-year varsity member and University of Dayton-bound club volleyball player. “He’s got great hands, too. He’s good at all facets of volleyball, really good. What I looked for in a setter when I coached was somebody who took Greek, Latin and physics. I wanted a guy who liked challenges, a guy who liked to take tough classes. “An effective setter,” he adds,

“also has to be alert, has to be aware of the hot hitter. He then has to make sure that hot hitter gets the ball often. Jack does that. Jack has good sense.” In a three-set victory over visiting Providence on April 28, senior outside hitter and tricaptain Connor Kreb was LA’s hot hitter, particularly in the third set of a 22-25, 25-15, 25-19 decision. The 6-3 Kreb pounded three of his team-high 18 kills for points 23, 24 and 25 in the decisive set. Talaga lofted three perfect sets to Kreb. Kreb turned a volleyball into pulp three times. Talaga finished with 43 assists. “Jack controls everything on the court,” Ebeling says. “He’s our quarterback, the one who runs our offense. It’s been great for me, watching him grow as a setter over the years. As a sophomore, he was thrilled just to be a part of the team. We pretty much used him as a serve specialist at the beginning of the season. One of his teammates got hurt, and all of a sudden, Jack got the opportunity to start. A great work ethic, tenacity … he had those qualities. “He took that opportunity to start,” the coach adds, “and ran with it.” A setter has to be more than just a distributor of a volleyball. A setter has to, well, set an emotional tone for the entire team. With his demeanor, with his leadership, with his words of encouragement, with something as basic as a look in between points. “Jack sets to all of our [attack] options,” says 6-7 senior middle and tri-captain Jakub Mazurek. “He’s good at getting a lot of his teammates involved. He jump sets, and he uses that [tactic] to his advantage.” In the match against Providence, what appeared to be the start of another jump set from the hands of Talaga ended up as a set dump, or a gentle kill. Point, Loyola Academy. The volleyball lifer got to receive high fives from his teammates instead of giving them. “Volleyball is an emotional game, filled with momentum swings,” Ebeling says. “A setter’s calm demeanor during a momentum swing … that helps. It’s

contagious. Jack is like another coach for us in matches. He shows confidence out there, and he executes well. Guys respect him. Every good team needs a very good setter. Jack is that.” Talaga steered the way to LA’s runner-up showing at the Downers Grove South Invitational on April 24-25, averaging 33 assists in the team’s final two matches. He shoved 32 assists in a threeset victory over an undefeated New Trier High School squad in a semifinal; Barrington High School topped Talaga (34 assists) and LA in the title match. In earlier action his 26 assists helped the Ramblers down Lake Park High School’s Lancers (a Final Four state team last spring). Talaga authored more than 40 assists for the second time in three days in LA’s 24-26, 26-24, 25-22 defeat of host Brother Rice on April 30. His assist total reached 47 against the Crusaders. Well before generating impressive statistics in his favorite sport, Talaga impressed his family members — without a volleyball. Jack Talaga had a propensity to spread warmth by simply being Jack Talaga. “When he was a little guy, all those around him thought, ‘He’s such a nice guy,’ ” Erlenbaugh recalls. “So we came up with a song. The title of the song is, ‘Jack is a nice guy.’ He’s still a nice guy. “We still sing that song.”

Nevers’ game-winning slams remain legendary with HP baseball team BY Kevin Reiterman, sports@northshoreweekend.com

am Nevers, sporting his Chicago Blackhawks playoff beard, looked pretty comfortable on the mound. He’s got the look and all the mannerisms of a pitcher. But the mound is not his baseball residence. It’s more like a summer home. A vacation spot. Nevers spends most of his time manning the right-field pastures and hitting seventh in the Highland Park batting order. But the need arose on the first day of May at Wolters Field. HP head baseball coach Dan Casey called on Nevers to work some middle relief against visiting Warren. Afterwards, the 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior admitted that he wasn’t razor sharp against the Blue Devils. “The break on my curve was there,” Nevers said. “But the grip? I need to work on that a little.” And yet, Nevers proved to be pretty effective in his short two-inning stint. He painted some corners for strikes. No one hit the ball hard. The lanky right-hander wound up walking a couple of batters but didn’t allow a hit or an earned run. “He doesn’t pitch much,” said HP senior catcher Justin Halpern. “But he came in today and did a good job. Kept the ball down. That’s all you can ask.” Nevers’ most impressive “out” was getting Warren’s star shortstop Matt Burch — and University of Arkansas recruit — to hit a routine fly ball to Eric Schwartz in left field for the third out of the fifth inning.” So, how high does retiring a future Division I player rank on Nevers’ list of athletic accomplishments? “Not very,” said Casey. In the mind of Casey, Nevers will forever be known as the Grand Slam Kid. Plural. Exclamation Points. Last spring, Nevers belted two game-winning grand slams in conference play. One against Maine West. One against Deerfield. “l’ll never forget those,” Casey said. Those two blasts are keepsake moments for Nevers. “I remember coming off the field at Deerfield just feeling numb,” Nevers said. “And the best part,” he added, “is that it put us a position to win conference.” “He’s just an incredibly competitive kid,” said Casey. “It’s hard to replicate his kind of competitiveness. He’s got it, and we love seeing it.” Nevers also made memories in the fall. Despite attempting only two passes during his junior season, he quarterbacked the Giants to a 9-0 record during the regular season. He threw for 1,580 yards and earned all-Central Suburban League North honors. He would say that he was set up perfectly. The Giants were stout on defense, and the offense featured a stable of top-notch receivers (Luke Norcia, Jack McGuire and Hallvard Lundevall) and a shifty running back (Cole Greenberg). “The defense would come off the field and say, ‘okay, now do your job,’ ” said Nevers. Nevers, who batted .250 with 14 RBIs last year, has yet to hit his stride this spring. “It’s been a little tough at the plate,” said Nevers. “I’ve been a little anxious. I’m working on it every day. Despite having a low batting average, Nevers has been very Nevers-like at times. He’s had some big at-bats. “He’s been clutch,” said Casey.

Floor showstopper Christensen’s dives for digs drawing plenty of raves

ichael Christensen reacquainted himself with an old friend last fall. An old sport, actually. The Lake Forest High School senior had played football as a freshman. He opted not to play the sport during each of the next two years. Christensen, a volleyball player in the spring, returned to the gridiron as a wide receiver in 2014. The libero became a go-to. He ended up tying classmate Matthew Hargitt for a team-high 29 receptions for a Class 6A state quarterfinalist. Christensen caught a pair of touchdown passes for the 8-4 Scouts. “I missed it,” says the clean-cut Christensen, a 6-foot-1, 170-pounder. “I love football. I love following college football. My team is Michigan.” He now enjoys tackling the challenges of being the Scouts’ centerpiece on defense in volleyball matches. Christensen, a co-captain, reached for 12 digs in Lake Forest’s 25-12, 25-22 defeat of visiting Stevenson High School on April 29. His volleyball jersey number is 6, the number he wore over his football pads. Practically every kill attempt by Patriots hitters stayed alive because of Christensen’s quick feet, court savvy and desire to chest-surf hardwood for digs. “A key to our defense … the backbone of our defense,” senior outside hitter and co-captain Andrew Salzer says of Christensen. “He dives a ton.” Scouts volleyball coach Colin Kiely was all for his libero’s decision to run wideout routes last fall, calling it “really cool.” Christensen showed up for the start of his final volleyball season, all set to go … and healthy. “He’s hardworking, and his defense has improved,” says Kiely, whose squad improved to 16-8 and finished runner-up at the Libertyville Invitational on May 2. “Michael is quiet, the way he

goes about doing things. But he does a good job of making sure the juniors on our team feel included. He’s levelheaded. He’s also funny. All of his teammates like him.” Kiely wasn’t fond of his team’s showings in a couple of matches at the Lake County Invitational at Lakes Community High School on April 17-18. He reviewed footage of the losses with his Scouts. The footage showed some Scouts had turned into statues during points. “That was unacceptable, guys standing around, guys out of position,” Kiely says. “Rough. Those losses were rough.” Lake Forest’s Scouts played in their next match two days later, in a home contest against Grant High School. A ball hit by a Grant Bulldog had “kill” written all over it. Kiely expected it to find a open spot on the floor. Christensen sprung. Christensen zeroed in on the ball, nothing but the ball. The ball found a piece of Christensen’s arm instead of an open spot on the floor. “Michael somehow got under that ball for a dig,” Kiely recalls. “I never thought he’d get close to it. I remember thinking, ‘OK, guys, you all need to play like that.’ It was a good moment for Michael and for the team.” LFHS downed Grant 25-18, 25-21 on April 20. Scouts had bounced around, anticipated, stayed alert. Statues no more. The victory kept their record against North Suburban Conference opponent spotless. The Scouts upped their NSC mark to 6-0 when it defeated Stevenson last week. A libero is not allowed to swing in a match. A part of Christensen probably wants to go all football on a set volleyball and hit it. Hit it hard. A team guy, he refrains, stays within the rules. His job is to thwart attacks by bumping volleyballs. “I get to take swings in

practice,” Christensen says. “It’s a tough position, libero, but I like it. I like digging. I like doing what it takes to get the ball to our setter [senior Quinn Gaughan].” He likes to fish, a pastime introduced to him by his father, Jeff. The Christensens’ home water is a pond in Conway Farms. Father and son first fished together near a lake house in Michigan. Michael was 8 at the time. Some 10 years later, during spring break, Michael and a bunch of his friends piled into a boat off Captiva Island in Florida. The former wide receiver caught a 50-pound shark. It took him a good five minutes to make that boat a little more crowded. Somebody videotaped the conquest. Michael Christensen sent the video to his father. The father’s text reply, according to the son: “Whoa, that’s nuts.” Michael Christensen vs. Jeff Christensen. The better fisherman? “My dad claims he’s better,” Michael says, smiling.

Notable: Christensen intends to major in business at Indiana University. … Scouts junior outside hitter Mason Moore struck a team-high seven kills in the win over Stevenson last week. Classmate Varun Rao lofted 10 assists. … LFHS went 3-2 at last weekend’s Libertyville Invite. The Scouts lost to Prospect High School’s Knights in a three-set final. Moore pounded 37 kills, including 12 against Prospect, at the invite. … LFHS defeated host Carmel Catholic High School 25-23, 25-18 on May 4, behind Moore’s eight kills, Christensen’s six digs and Gaughan’s 14 assists. The win puffed the Scouts’ overall record to 17-8.. … Christensen, on Moore: “He’s probably our most enthusiastic player. He does not like to lose.”

Inside the Press Box Circling the Bases Baseball Lake Forest: Playing on field of the Kenosha Kingfish, the Scouts had themselves quite a day on the first day of May. In a 12-1 victory over Kenosha St. Joseph, Matthew Peterson and Grant Messner team up on a no-hitter. Peterson worked five innings and finished with five strikeouts. Messer capped the game off with two hitless frames, fanning four. The hitting stars included Cole Digman (3 hits), George Karkazis (single, double, 2 RBIs), Cal Kropke (2 hits), Cal Coughlin (double, triple, 2 RBIs), Charlie Asma (double, 2 RBIs), Mateo Hargitt (double, RBI) and Brad Czerniejewski (2 RBIs). A day earlier, Hargitt was the hero. His walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh gave the Scouts (16-6) a 6-5 victory over visiting Warren. Karkazis had three hits in the game, while Coughlin had a double. Luke Gibson earned the win with three hitless innings of relief. In other action last week, LF dropped a 5-0 decision to host Warren on April 28 despite a strong pitching performance by Mark Turelli (6 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, 5 Ks). On May 4, the Scouts fell to host Prospect 8-5. The team was out-hit 11-9. Karkazis, Kropke and Czerniejewski had two hits each. Hargitt and Turelli had doubles. And on April 27, LF lost a road game at Lakes 5-4. Karkazis (2 hits), Kropke (2 hits, 2 RBIs) and Charlie Sullivan (2 hits) led the attack. Loyola: The Ramblers came up with one of their best offensive performances of the season on May 1, when they banged out 13 hits to beat visiting Glenbrook South 11-1. The offensive standouts included Brendan Egan (3 RBI), Jacob Frank (2 hits, 2 RBIs), Neil Udelhofen (2 hits, 2 RBIs) and Thomas Smart (2 hits). Thomas Giella, a junior right-hander, went the distance on a five-hitter. He had three Ks. Meanwhile, Loyola (12-10) came up short in other recent action. Jack Yalowitz knocked in three runs and Smart had two hits, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough in an 8-3 setback to visiting Brother Rice on May 2. Brother Rice also got the best of LA on April 29, when the visiting Ramblers lost 8-4. Smart and Alex Thomas had two hits each. And, on April 28, LA fell to visiting St. Rita 7-2. New Trier: Oh, no. Right-hander Michael Oh put the hammer down in the late innings to spark Glenbrook North to a 3-2 victory over the host Trevians on May 2. Oh tossed a three-hitter and fanned six of the last seven batters he faced. Scott Hammes had a solid outing for NT. The leftfielder singled, stole a base and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Matt Boscow singled home a run in the first inning for the Trevians. Solid pitching by Tim Fox (4 IP, 0 ER, 6 hits), Ryan Haak (1.1 IP, 0 ER, 0 hits, 1 K) and Andrew Earvolino (1.2 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit) kept the game close. The loss was NTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third in a row. The Trevians (12-6-1, 5-3) fell twice to Glenbrook South, losing 9-2 on April 28 and 5-3 on April 30. In the 5-3 setback, the Trevians managed two runs in six innings against GBS ace Fitz Stadler. Hammes led the team with two singles, a stolen base and RBI groundout. Jake Reynolds doubled and scored in the second, while Dylan McGuire doubled and scored in the fifth inning. In the seventh, Michael Gallo, who was pitch-running for Will Francke (leadoff single), used some daring base-running and wound up scoring a sac fly by sophomore Will McNulty.

SPORTS GRAND SAM Continued from page 49

On March 21, in a 13-2 loss to Mt. Carmel, he broke up a no-hitter and wound up driving in both runs. Then, in an 11-4 victory in the Freeport Tournament in early April, he homered and doubled off the top of fence. And, on April 25, in a game at Libertyville, Nevers showed his baseball instincts when he hustled and stretched a double into an RBI triple. “Sam comes to play every day,” said Halpern. “Everyone on this team looks up to him. He cares. Even if he’s not in the lineup, he’s loud on the bench.” And, the teammate added, “pretty soon he’ll be making noise with his bat.”

Notable: The Giants have managed to win only five games so far this spring. But the confidence level has not wavered. “We’re going to keep fighting for wins,” said Halpern, who is hitting .458 in league games. … Despite its 5-19 overall record, HP has managed to stay competitive in the CSL. The team claimed a pair of wins over Maine East 12-3 and 7-2 last week, while it dropped a 13-3 decision to Glenbrook South on May 2. Bradley Kaplan was the winning pitcher on April 30. The offense was led by Nevers (2 RBIs), Noah Stern (2 hits) and Justin Mills (2 RBIs). On April 28, Halpern had two hits to lead the offense, while senior righthander Dan Wagner earned the win. “Dan has been phenomenal for us all year,” said Casey. “His ERA is under 2.00. He’s not overpowering. But he’s smart. And he rarely misses his spots.” Wagner, who has a 3.5 ERA, has fanned 30 and walked 10 in 35 innings. … Mills, who opened the season 0-for-12, has been red hot. He’s hitting .575 in league play. He had an RBI single in the 12-4 loss to Warren. “He’s can swing it,” said Casey. “He’s a five-tool kid.” … Stern, a junior, has been effective on the mound (2.4 ERA), and he’s been hitting No. 4 in the batting order and hitting .400 in league play. He tripled home a run against Warren. … Sophomore second baseman Thano Fourlas is hitting .357 against CSL foes. … “This is the toughest schedule in the history of our program — by far,” said Casey. “I did that. I have to be the one to answer for that. But the kids wanted it, too. Hopefully, it will pay off at the end of the season.”… Things are going well at the lower levels. The sophomores are 6-0 in league action, while the freshman team (15-4) has claimed wins over Libertyville, Mt. Carmel, Palatine and St. Viator. … HP grad Jason Goldstein, a junior catcher, is hitting .281 with six homers and 32 RBIs for sixth-ranked Illinois, which has won 21 straight. … Brett Shimanovsky is putting together another fine season at Saint Louis University. In 20 relief appearances for the 31-16 Billikens, the sophomore left-hander is 3-1 with four saves. He has a 2.43 earned run average. He’s allowed 33 hits in 37 innings with 28 strikeouts and eight walks.

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.

oreen “Nonie” Andersen is comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. It is some 10 minutes after the senior middie and her Glenbrook South High School lacrosse teammates had lost 9-7 in overtime to visiting New Trier High School. She scored four goals and delivered two assists against last year’s state runner-up on April 30. Significant stats. Only nine seconds had elapsed when she tallied the game’s first goal. A fast stat. A stranger wants her take on the game, her thoughts about lacrosse, her thoughts about her … life, her past, her impressive present, her promising future. Andersen is comfortable because she might be the wittiest and most engaging, fun-loving, insightful teenager in Cook County and a student-athlete who relishes any opportunity to communicate with anybody. Andersen also is uncomfortable because she firmly believes all 25 of her teammates deserve to be interviewed. “We have amazing athletes on this team,” she says. “You can’t do anything in this sport by yourself; you need teammates to help you. That’s the biggest thing about this sport, and that’s one of the reasons I love this sport. It’s also fun, fast, physical. That goal I scored [at the start of the game], that wasn’t just me. I didn’t win the faceoff. “The other goals I netted today? Don’t think my team wouldn’t have been able to score just as many goals without me.” Typical Nonie Andersen. The last thing she wants is the focus

— any kind of focus — on her. Microscopes belong in labs, not on a sideline after a lacrosse game between two of the top teams in Illinois. “Nonie is always looking to give credit to her teammates,” says senior attack Jane Brennan, a fourth-year varsity member like Andersen. “She is eager to talk about her teammates instead of herself. Always eager. That’s Nonie.” Hip surgery kept Andersen on the Titans’ sideline for the entire season last spring, when Glenbrook South won its fourth straight sectional championship and finished fourth at the state tournament. She dubbed herself “captain of the bench” in 2014 and still made quite an impact. She spoke loudly and enthusiastically but did not carry a big stick. Andersen is back where she belongs this spring — on lacrosse fields — and doing all sorts of game-changing things. Her speed and stick skills and savvy bother opponents and elate Titans teammates and coaches and fans. She plans to play lacrosse for Princeton University next spring and for the Ireland national women’s team in the World Cup this summer. The holder of a dual citizenship flew to Ireland to try out for the national team. Irish coaches liked her abilities. She flew back to U.S. as an international lax player. “Nonie has an amazing work ethic,” Glenbrook South girls lacrosse coach Annie Lesch says. “She’s had that work ethic since the first day of her freshman year. She pushes herself. She is never satisfied. She wants to beat everybody for every groundball in practices. Her teammates see that, and they push themselves. “We have a lot of competitive players on this team.” Andersen ranks in the top three among teammates in goals and assists. The Titans (14-3) had won 12 straight before falling to New Trier last week. They edged a strong squad from Ohio, Sycamore High School, 8-7 on their home turf May 2, before bowing 14-12 to reigning state champion Loyola Academy on May 4. Andersen had played baseball for years before entering Glenbrook South as a freshman in 2011. Girls are not allowed to play baseball in high school because softball is available to them as an option in the spring. She searched for another spring sport. She found lacrosse. Brennan’s father, John, is an Illinois Elite Lacrosse Club coach. Andersen caught one of her first lacrosse balls from Jane Brennan when the two were eight-graders. John Brennan helped Andersen develop her game from there. Her passion for lacrosse and Glenbrook South’s program was on display shortly after the loss to New Trier last week. She delivered a brief speech to her teammates. It was fiery, encouraging, inspirational. Everybody listened, teammates and coaches. “Part of my message was, ‘You can go home and be upset about the loss,’ ” says Andersen, a guitarist for a band, Purple Apple. “But I wanted to make sure they would also use that feeling to benefit us later in the season, to channel that emotion in a positive way. We’ll do that.” Andersen is the daughter of a retired judge, Wayne, a big fan of donuts. Each Friday he personally delivers several boxes of donuts to Glenbrook South High School. A radio teacher gets one. A dean gets another box. Lesch receives the third. Educators and students devour the donuts, cherry-filled treats (and other kinds) from a cheery man. “Some Fridays,” Nonie Andersen says, “I don’t even get one.” She shrugs. She smiles. Andersen intends to major in ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton. She wants to be a research scientist. “I want to work on an ocean,” Andersen says. Lucky plankton. Lucky sharks. “Nonie is a genius, with an unbelievable wit,” Jane Brennan says. “It’s always entertaining, being around her. You should hear the little puns she comes up with … they’re hilarious. They’re smart.”

Painting is essential to artist’s well-being first time these works have shown in the Unites States, having prehenever René Romero viously been on display in Rome Schuler has a dream and Paris. Much like the rest of about her art it means, Romero Schuler’s oeuvre, the ultimately, there is an internal shift happening in her work. To Romero Schuler, these dreams are never haunting. Instead they —like her paintings — channel strength, perseverance, resilience. So the painter welcomes her nocturnal muses. “I can’t not paint,” says Romero Schuler, matter-of-factly. “I’ll have a physiological breakdown. Things just stop working on so many weird levels if I don’t paint.” It’s a cloudless morning outside, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from where we’re sitting at the Starbucks off Market Square in Lake Forest.

Schuler grew up in Rogers Park. She is quick to recount her earliest recollection of wanting to be a painter, a story she has told countless times before to journalists who inevitably ask, When did you first realize you wanted to be an artist? For Romero Schuler, it’s hard to separate her identity as an artist — or to pinpoint a time when it wasn’t a foregone conclusion — but there is one memory that springs to mind: in kindergarten, she had a fun, vivacious teacher who encouraged her young artistic mind. And so a crayon drawing of a house with a tree and a sun became a work of art to be fawned over and affixed to the board. From then on, Romero Schuler would try to win a reaction like that every time with her work. In the middle of kindergarten she went to live with her grandparents in Quito, Ecuador. Writing to her parents all the time, in one letter she declared she would be a famous artist by the time she grew up, with her work in a gallery and a RollsRoyce parked in the driveway (since it came with her initials). While she doesn’t have the Rolls-Royce quite yet, she does have a collection of pieces that show an artist deeply in tune with her work. Following the path into the woods behind her house

where she lives with her husband Rick, Romero Schuler is able to squeeze out the hours working while their two boys are in school. Before becoming a mother, Romero Schuler was engaged in painting tight, precise oil paintings of trees. She always emphasized their dormant state, which made them symbolic of humanity: imperfect, vulnerable, scarred. But those paintings took time. And when her family grew, she couldn’t dedicate the same amount to painting. Inevitably, she would be interrupted in her studio with all this paint left on her palette. Hating the thought of being wasteful, she scraped the paint off the palette with a palette knife, smearing the colors together on a blank canvas. After doing this for days, she turned around one day and was surprised to see a face staring back at her between the drying clumps of paint. She played around with the palette knife some more and was shocked again at her discovery: it was her face. This sparked a collection of self-portraits, “every single one of them tied to a very specific instance in my life,” adds Romero Schuler. “I was working out some stuff, I think. But they were good paintings. That’s the first time you’ll hear me say that about my work — I knew they were good.” Inspired by the abstract Ex-
