Talkin’ ‘bout their Generations

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary writes about engaging the economic giant

By Sheryl DeVore

hile helping plan this year’s Foodstock charity concert in Lake Bluff, Tom Meyer thought about how he, his son and two other local fathers and sons had played in different bands over many years. “Knowing we had these three father/son teams, and the sons were actually in town and all available, we thought we might have one shot at doing this,” said Meyer. So he created the band Generations, which will perform at the 11th annual Foodstock, which takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. on June 28 at the Village Green in Lake Bluff. The fundraiser features a concert of three bands where attendees can contribute donations and nonperishable food items to Christian Outreach of Lutherans (COOL) ministries in Waukegan and Ingleside, which serves Lake County and McHenry County residents by providing food and transitional housing. Last year, Foodstock raised nearly $20,000 for COOL,

Meyer said. Generations will be the first time these friends have all played together. They’ll perform cover songs including Cat Stevens’ “Father and Son” as well as original pieces some of them have written. The band includes Meyer of Lake Bluff and his son, J.P., who both sing and play guitar; Ken Hall, a professional musician from Lake Forest who plays a type of vibraphone and other instruments; his son Scott, of Gurnee, who plays a cajon, a type of Peruvian drum box; Mike Jarvi of Lake Bluff who plays acoustic guitar and sings; and his son, Jake Jarvi, a writer for JWC Media, who plays bass and lives in Chicago. “Tom is the music guy,” said Jake Jarvi. “He wants to form bands forever. He just loves them. “He called me up and said we’re going to be a band called Generations. How could anybody not like that? It’s really fun to play with these guys I haven’t played with them in years. Continues on page 14

the executive asks. “Why are you helping China?” This question is at the heart of Paulson’s book, which is garnering positive reviews (“An important book,” praised Financial Times) and sparking discussion about U.S.-China relations amid China’s growing economic standing on the world stage. “That question really reflects what many Americans are asking as they look at China,” he says. “It is a country that has come into its own in many ways (to become) our biggest, most formidable economic competitor since the end of World War II. And it’s flexing its muscles in some pretty unsettling ways. That has Americans from all walks of life viewing China with increased apprehenhenry paulson sion and, in some cases, resentment.” By Donald Liebenson executives.

And this, Paulson writes, has given risen to suspicions that could undermine a crucial economic and strategic relationship. What do the Chinese really want? Why are they spending so much money on the military? Are they friends or enemies, trading partners, or commercial and geopolitical adversaries? Paulson says he wrote Dealing with China to “promote a better understanding of China and because I want my grandchildren to grow up in a safe, prosperous, and ecologic all y and environmentally sound world. And the odds of that happening are much greater if the U.S. and China are not in conflict, but are working in complementary ways.” Rooting for China to succeed, Paulson maintains, “is more than ever in America’s own selfinterest.” During his tenure with Continues on page 12

Winnetka to spend six figures on engineering review BY EMILY SPECTRE

n response to a significant cost increase of the proposed Willow Road stormwater tunnel project, the Winnetka Village Council awarded a contract to engineering firm V3 Companies to provide an independent cost estimate of the

$58.5 million project. The independent review will cost the Village $122,004 and will also include a value engineering analysis. Steve Saunders, director of engineering, explained that in seeking an independent review of the project the Village sought to accomplish two goals. First, it would provide the

Village with an understanding of the accuracy and reliability of the cost estimate provided by contractor MWH Global. Second, the value engineering analysis would aid in the determination of whether the stormwater tunnel project is the best, most cost-effective design. Not withstanding the fact that V3’s

proposal was $50,000 more than Black & Veatch’s competing bid, Saunders advised the Council to award the contract to V3. “I think [given] the value that we would get for the project that is singularly important to the village at this Continues on page 12

FIRST WORD

The Hall’s E home away from home

ach week, a number of elderly people walk with canes or are pushed in wheelchairs through the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. For many, it’s the last stop on their bucket list. An ESPN executive accompanied his terminally ill father sometime in the past year, and afterward he wrote Pro Football Hall of Fame President David Baker a note. “It said, ‘Thank you for giving me one of the best times of my life with my Dad,’” Baker recalled. Why is a football-shaped facility in a little-known town so special? “The Hall of Fame is a message of excellence for everyone,” says Baker, a 6-foot-9 bear of a man. “The commitment to be a Hall of Famer is the same commitment it takes to be a great father or a great violinist.” On Monday, the Hall of Fame hosted its fourth annual Salute to Greatness dinner at The Glen Club in Glenview. It was rare to see so many football stars gathered outside of the Hall of Fame, but about two dozen appeared. Sue

David Sweet

“The commitment to be a Hall of Famer is the same commitment it takes to be a great father or a great violinist.” Connor, wife of late Bears’ great and Hall of Famer George Connor, spoke at the event, along with their sons, Wilmette’s Al Connor and Winnetka’s George Jr. Despite finding out that his son

Sam Baker — a 2008 first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons — had been cut from the team that afternoon, Baker handled the blow with grace during the evening. GATX executive Robert Zmudka, a Winnetka resident, started the Glenview dinner. Having been involved with the Hall socially for a number of years, often bringing clients to Canton (“Having late-night cocktails with Jack Youngblood and Tom Mack was about as intimate as an experience I can provide them”), he was asked to be on a new advisory board to bring the Hall of Fame to different parts of the country. Just as Chicago recently served as an experiment for the league to conduct the draft outside of New York City, Glenview has been a blueprint for Hall of Fame ventures outside of Canton (Miami and St. Louis both enjoyed their inaugural dinners this year). Like the Shedd Aquarium or Museum of Science & Industry (where the Hall’s Gridiron to Glory exhibit, now in Kansas City,

is expected to appear in a few years), the non-profit Hall needs to raise funds. The Glenview event raised about $200,000 before expenses this year, as around 180 showed up to dinner and 130 were scheduled for golf at The Glen Club the next day. Some of the proceeds are earmarked for the Beyond Sports Foundation in Highland Park, which helps promising student athletes in underserved areas of Chicago through mentorship, academics, and athletic training. Baker — the former commissioner of the Arena Football League — knows what’s it’s like to be underserved. His father and mother couldn’t read or write. Sports helped save him. “If it wasn’t for sports, I don’t think I would have learned the values I needed to,” he says. “Sports can change people’s lives.” Enjoy the weekend.

KING HENRY IS BACK Continued from page 1

Goldman Sachs, Paulson negotiated groundbreaking deals with China, including an unprecedented $2.6 billion investment in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. As Treasury Secretary under President George W. Bush, he helped create the Strategic Economic Dialogue between the two countries. In his more than two decades dealing with and observing China and its political and business leaders, Paulson acknowledges China as “a land of superlatives” as it moves forward with relocating 100 million people into cities in the next five years, constructs more roads and highspeed rail lines and brings more people online than anywhere in the world. But lately, he says, he sees China’s growth model running out of steam. In April, China reported that its economy grew just 7 percent in the first quarter of 2015, one of the lowest rates in a decade. China’s days of double-digit economic growth “are over,” Paulson says. “Income gaps are

time, and the discussions we are going to have, I think this is a worthwhile approach,” Saunders said. Saunders noted that V3’s “ground up” approach to cost analysis was similar to MWH’s method and advised the Council to use a firm that uses the same approach. While Saunders expressed reservations of Black & Veatch’s expertise in value engineering, he emphasized V3’s expertise in that area as well as its attentiveness throughout the bidding process. The trustees voted to approve the contract with V3

leading to uneasiness among citizens and recent crackdowns on freedoms imperil China’s ultimate ability to succeed. It faces an urgent need to continue progress on economic reforms, and its failure to do so would have global economic consequences.” Beyond economic trends, Paulson regards corporate cyber theft as the most contentious and potentially destructive economic issues America faces with the Chinese. “Virtually every U.S. CEO I know has told me about a Chinese attempt to breach his or her company’s computer system,” Paulson says. “This is the kind of thing that undermines our economic security and gives credence to the sense that China doesn’t play by the rules. It is very difficult to find common ground.” China’s crippling air pollution in China is also alarming, he says. “Environmental damage is mounting. It’s literally killing the Chinese people and must be addressed.” China’s leaders, he says, recognize the challenges and are tackling many of these problems. “The central leaders are striving to transform the economy to a model that is less reliant on exports and often wasteful government investment in infrastructure, which will be more environmentally sustainable,” he observes. “The recent agreement between China and the U.S. on climate change is (also) an exceptionally positive development.” Paulson calls the U.S.-China relationship “the most important bilateral relationship in the world. Every issue faced, from climate change to terrorism to world peace, will be easier to deal with if China and the U.S. work

together,” he contends. “Continuing to bring China into a rules-based international system and encouraging them to reform and open up their economy is essential. And the Bilateral Investment Treaty currently being worked on is the kind of initiative that can help achieve this.” But America needs to deal with China, indeed the rest of the world, from a position of strength, Paulson emphasizes, and it will be incumbent on the next president to confront America’s own (economic) issues. “Our economy isn’t growing fast enough,” Paulson says. “We’re not creating the number and quality of jobs to provide opportunity and prosperity for our people. Income inequality is increasing. And the middle class is being hollowed out.” As a topic of discussion, China has become something like the weather, which, as Mark Twain famously observed, everybody talks about, but nobody does anything. Paulson hopes that readers of Dealing with China will come away with a fuller understanding of China’s economic (r)evolution, and a clearer picture of its leadership. “We’re all familiar with China’s great rise,” he says, “but China is now facing unprecedented challenges. As President Xi tackles these challenges, he’s taking on every aspect of Chinese life and government. But he’s not remaking China into a country that resembles ours. He doesn’t want China to look like the United States. So as China takes its place on the world stage, (America) needs to be strategic, and we need to work with China on common problems so that we’re working in complementary ways, not at cross-purposes.”

with the exception of Andrew Cripe who abstained from voting because Black & Veatch is client of his law firm. In approving the contract, Trustee Bill Krucks noted that he would rely on Saunders’ advice. “The public is interested in getting a a second set of experienced eyes to look at the costs to see if they are real and the engineering to see if it is the best way or if perhaps there are other ways to skin this cat,” he said. The Village Council also approved the permitting process for the stormwater tunnel project to determine the ultimate feasibility of the project.

Permit applications will be submitted to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, Union Pacific Railroad, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Saunders explained that before the permit applications are submitted, MWH will meet with Lake Michigan stakeholders to better understand their views. After receiving feedback from these groups, MWH will submit the permit applications in September and most likely report back to the Village Council by December. The per permitting process will cost $110,880.

Rare football book unearthed on North Shore By Emily Spectre

he Friends of the Wilmette Public Library’s bookstore, The Books Down Under, recently discovered a sports book potentially worth $1,000 mixed in with the usual book donations it receives from the community. The book is titled Football For Player And Spectator and was written by Fielding H. Yost. Published in 1905 by University Publishing Company, the book is an autographed first edition and in good condition. Volunteer Susan Morrison was sifting through a bin of donated books when the book came in one day. The small blue

book immediately caught her eye. “It was in pristine condition,” Morrison said. Given the age of the book and its condition, Morrison decided to take the book home and show it to her husband who is a football enthusiast. He immediately realized the potential worth of the book, since he recognized Fielding H. Yost as a sports legend. Yost won four national championships in his first four seasons as football coach at University of Michigan. And while Yost went on to win 83 percent of his games in his 25year career at Michigan, he also changed the game of football

when he introduced the spiral pass in 1906. The volunteers at Books Down Under decided to bring the book to Chicago Rare Book Center in Evanston to have it appraised. When the store valued the book at $1,000, the volunteers decided to have Chicago Rare Book sell it on commission. The Books Down Under boasts a small collection of collectible and vintage books that are kept in a locked cabinet in the store. Volunteer Bea Berlin manages the collection, taking over a task that long-time bookstore manager Marion Anderson oversaw before she recently retired.

Wilmette Park District mulls $60,000 grant By Emily Spectre

he United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has offered the Wilmette Park District a $60,000 grant to improve migrant bird habitat at Gillson Park. The Park District applied for the grant in early spring and learned in May that it had received it. The terms of the grant would require the Park District

to match the grant with $60,000. At the Lakefront Committee meeting on June 1, Wilmette resident Karen Glennemeier urged the committee to accept the grant, noting that Gillson Park has little wild habitat. Glennemeier explained that “the lakefront habitat is a significant habitat” for birds coming from the south. Migrating birds flock to areas along the lakefront to eat and rest.

“We can do it and be compatible with human activity,” Glennemeier said. “People will love it as much as the birds.” The landscaping project would be multi-layered, with native wildflowers, grasses and shrubs planted beneath existing larger canopy trees. While some residents may visit the park to bird watch, other residents may simply enjoy the landscaping, Glennemeier said.

We get together once a week and hammer out these songs.” Of his fellow band members who also sing, Jarvi said, “They harmonize beautifully. It’s got that Crosby, Stills and Nash sound.” The group will perform “Beggar Man,” written by Jarvi’s dad. “It’s got a nice driving beat to it and a message of we have to help each other,” Jarvi said. St. James Lutheran Church in Lake Forest helped started Foodstock in 2005. The Community Church of Lake Forest members also now help. “We decided we need to help feed people locally,” said Meyer, a member of the church, who plays in a band for services each week. Jake Jarvi also sometimes plays bass at the church. St. James Church members created a free concert to be held at Lake Bluff ’s Village Green to raise funds for COOL. “Many of the people who need this service don’t make enough money in their jobs to actually make it through the whole month with enough food,” Meyer said.

COOL provides “that extra bit of food to help families. More than half of the food goes to children. COOL also provides 12 transitional housing units for families who are in between coming off welfare and moving into a productive lifestyle, he said. “The day-to-day grind these people (in Lake and McHenry counties) go through to try to find enough to feed their families is what really strikes me. It’s something we can’t turn our backs on.” Patrons can bring lawn chairs and blankets as well as their own picnics or purchase food from vendors at Foodstock. Local vendors have also provided gifts for drawings. This year will be extra special because he’s performing with Generations, Meyer said. “This whole experience with our sons and being able to play together and make such great music – everyone feels that this is a once-in-a lifetime-type thing,” he said.

Fourth-graders close the books on successful project By Jake Jarvi

he fourth-grade class at Sheridan Elementary School in Lake Forest ended its school year working on a project dedicated to helping others. By collecting, organizing, stamping and donating used books for Bernie’s Book Bank, the class helped less fortunate children procure books. “I learned that there are a lot of kids that don’t live like we do, and they don’t have books,” says Piper, a fourth-grader from Sheridan School. “If they looked around their house, they might not even find one book.” Bernie’s Book Bank began in 2009 as an organization getting books into the hands of children to promote literacy in schools and neighborhoods that service low-income families, where books are often considered luxury items.

Sheridan School students Amanda and Brynn helped collect books for lower-income children.

“The good news is the fact that at-risk children don’t own books isn’t a supply issue; it’s simply a matter of logistics,” says Brian Floriani, executive director of Bernie’s Book Bank. “How do you acquire books, how do you process them

quickly, and how do you distribute them in a sustainable way so that they’re receiving books over and over again, 12 books year after year? That’s what we do.” Over the last six years, Bernie’s Book Bank has distributed more than three million books

to children in the Chicago area. That would be impossible without the dedication of a legion of volunteers — like the hardworking kids from Sheridan School. Though the Bernie’s Book Bank project relies on participation from the whole school, kindergarten through fourth grade, it’s been the fourth grade-class leading the way. “I like actually going to the center, sorting the books, and seeing how they send them to the kids.” says Lily, another fourth-grader involved in the project. This is the fourth year that Sheridan School has supported Bernie’s Book Bank. Throughout, the students examine the importance of literacy through statistics provided by Bernie’s Book Bank, like how millions of children enter kindergarten without ever having opened a

“To see them smiling and looking happy about the books made me feel really good.” —Viola book before. Or that two thirds of children who cannot read proficiently by the fourth grade are likely to spend time in jail or on welfare. Bernie’s Book Bank also shares letters of thanks they’ve received from the children, which are read over the school’s loudspeaker system. Sheridan collected more than 8,000 books this year. “A majority of them came from our school library, but still probably close to 3,000 books from the students themselves,” says Laura Schlemm, a fourth-

grade teacher. “I think it’s really important for Lake Forest children to see the effects of giving.” “We got to watch a video and see how happy the kids were when they saw the books and how excited they were,” says Viola, another fourth-grade student. “To see them smiling and looking happy about the books made me feel really good. I learned that it’s better to share than to just have, because some people aren’t as fortunate as you are and they don’t have the same stuff as you have.”

It’s crucial for couples to arrive at decisions

Joanna Brown

ould you believe that the average adult makes 35,000 decisions daily? It’s a startling number, especially considering there are only 86,400 seconds in a day.

I start with whether to hit the snooze button on the bedside alarm, follow it with how many cups of coffee to pour, and allow the complexity of my decisions to grow from there.

“Couples who are decisive before marriage … appear to have better marriages than couples who let momentum

your chance for success. • Monitor your discussion. While you are trying to make a decision, don’t let your conversation get off track. When you notice the discussion has veered away from the decision, gently bring your partner back on topic. • Arrange the situation for success. Don’t try to make a decision when one or both partners are tired, hungry, hurried or preoccupied. • Recruit support from one another, and be prepared to

compromise. Going into a decision-making conversation with a personal goal to sway your partner to your way of thinking doesn’t help anyone, and may not get you to the best decision for your relationship. • Treat yourselves, and celebrate the success of your decision. This will keep you motivated to try working together again on another joint decision. How do you make big decisions?. Email me at joanna@ northshoreweekend.com.

carry them through big decisions.” decisions about their relationships and major life events because the act of showing intent can improve the quality of a marriage over all. Psychologist Josh Klapow offered his advice on making decisions as a couple at Oprah. com. Whether you and your spouse are taking about selling off assets or having another child, Klapow’s five SMART steps to set, monitor, arrange, recruit and treat will get you started in a constructive manner: • Set a specific goal, such as saving $100 per month to pay off a credit card.

Love & Marriage

At some point in the day, my decisions become shared — with my kids, my coworkers, my lunch companion, my spouse. And research reported in The New York Times says that how thoughtfully couples like us make decisions can have a lasting effect on our romantic relationship. Couples who are decisive before marriage — deciding intentionally to live together, for example, rather than just gradually increasing the amount of time you spend at your partner’s apartment — appear to have better marriages than couples who let momentum carry them through big decisions. This conclusion was drawn from a study of 1,294 adults age 18-34. Over five years, 418 of them married; researchers from the University of Denver were able to see, therefore, how participants made decisions before and after marriage. Of those couples in the study who lived together before marriage, 37 percent said that living together was something that “just happened.” The other 63 percent had better marriages. Research professor Scott Stanley, who also blogs about relationships for Psychology Today, wrote in the research report that “sliding through life-altering transitions leads to a worse outcome.” He further noted that modern relationships are more ambiguous than ever before. Stanley and co-author Galena Rhoades advised couples to make active

North Shorts Musings by Mike Lubow

ometimes it seems the North Shore lifestyle rivals that of California’s when it comes to healthy living. People here shoot for longevity. But there’s one thing you can’t get from organic foods, workouts, yoga, probiotics and even gene therapy. Luck. This thought hit after seeing a picture of a tombstone in a Los Angeles cemetery. It memorializes a couple who spent 50 years

together. Hard to believe they made it that long. They didn’t exactly have a healthful lifestyle. She was a runaway who became a showgirl in Arizona Territory (showgirl is one way to put it) and kept company with unwashed cowboys, rustlers and silver miners. Her man, the man buried beside her, was also not much of an insurance risk. He was both a lawman and an outlaw. People shot at him.

After one gunfight in which he was a point-blank target, his compadres checked to see how bad his wounds were. They found two dozen bullet holes in his clothes, but not a scratch on his body. Luck. One more thing: he had a friend who was like a brother to him, and this guy was dying of tuberculosis. There was a lot of coughing in airless poker games. No matter.

The man in the cemetery and the woman who was the love of his life thrived on cigars and redeye whiskey. They breathed the polluted air of mining towns. They dodged bullets, rampant germs and probably ate gluten. He died a peaceful death at 80 and she made it to 83. Wyatt Earp and Josie (Sadie) Marcus had more than a long life of adventure together. They had longevity’s secret. Luck.

North Shore Foodie

Wildfire has a piece of the pie

Executive Chef Joe Decker By Simon Murray

sk Joe Decker, vice president and executive chef of Wildfire, what month it is, and he’ll respond with what kind of pie is on the menu of his 1940sstyle steakhouse. October? That’s reserved for pumpkin pie. January is pecan. This December is going to feature a new version of a milk chocolate, peanut butter meringue pie (I never thought I’d say this, but is it December yet?). “We have a number of pies on the menu,” Decker tells me. “The most popular are apple, key lime, and chocolate peanut butter pie.” Those three are staples, perennially on the menu. But every month the restaurant — part of the Lettuce Entertain You group — features a double-crusted, made-to-order pie of the month.

“And it’s all based on seasonality,” he adds. This time of the year is one of Decker’s favorite times, since there’s so much to choose from fruit wise. So for June, Decker has rolled out the triple threat: blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries — or what Wildfire calls its Triple Berry Pie. “It’s really important to gather your ingredients together,” explains Decker. “Measure everything out first, then start going into the detail of the procedure.” That includes making the pie dough ahead of time and refrigerating it. Decker, who has opened every Wildfire to date — there’s now seven — has been with the company for 29 years. Before mastering a range of cuisine, the head chef was a hardworking apprentice making next to nothing at Ann’s Bakery in Wilmette and the Oakton Bakery in Skokie. Those formative years were integral to developing his love for preparing food and gave him insight into baking — insight he still uses today. “Take pride in the pie,” offers Decker. “It will never look perfect — some of that steam and the bubbling of the fruit spills onto the top of the pie. It’s kind of rustic. It’s imperfectly, well, perfect.” Wildfire is at 1300 Patriot Boulevard in Glenview. Call (847) 657-6363 for reservations.

Wildfire’s Triple Berry Pie TOTAL TIME: 2 Hours Serves: 6-8

Chef Joe Decker’s Classic Pie Crust (for one 9-inch pie) 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter chilled, cut into small pieces 2 ounces cold vegetable shortening, shredded with box shredder (keep cold) 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons white vinegar 3 ounces ice water

1. Add all dry ingredients in a KitchenAid mixer and mix briefly with paddle attachment on low speed until evenly distributed. Add chilled butter and shortening and mix with flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal with flecks of pea size butter and shortening. 2. Pour in ice water and mix until dough comes together. Add a tablespoon or two of cold water if dough seems too dry. Do not over mix. 3. Take soft dough out of

mixing bowl. Lightly flour table and shape dough into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. When sufficiently chilled, cut dough into 2 disks, one weighing 8 ounces and one weighing 6 ounces. 4. Flour table and use a rolling pin to roll the 8-ounce disk to 12-to-14 inches diameter round, 1/8-inch thick. Gently roll dough around the rolling pin, and position rolling pin over 9-inch pie pan; unroll the dough from the rolling pin, easing the dough onto the pie pan. Gently press dough against the sides and bottom of the pan, leaving excess hanging over the side. 5. With a knife, trim the edge of the dough, leaving 3⁄4 inch of dough over the edge of the pan; tuck excess dough under, and pinch the crust all around making a nice design. 6. Refrigerate. Then repeat the rolling out process with the 6 ounce disk of dough, forming a 10-inch diameter round, 1/8-inch thick. Refrigerate that rolled out dough as well. Wildfire’s Triple Berry Pie 1 each bottom piecrust, in pie pan 8 ounces fresh raspberries

8 ounces fresh blackberries 2 cups fresh, quartered strawberries 1 cup cherry preserves ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons tapioca 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 top pie crust, rolled out 1 egg yolk 1 tablespoon half & half 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or sugar in the raw 1. In a stainless steel bowl, gently fold together all ingredients up to and including cornstarch. Scoop mixture into bottom piecrust. Whisk together egg yolk and half & half to make an egg wash. Brush edges of pie shell with egg wash. 2. Neatly place pie top onto filled pie bottom. Make sure both crusts are sealed well by crimping the doughs together. Using the tip of a knife, poke air holes on the top of the pie to release steam. Lightly brush egg wash on top of piecrust and sprinkle with coarse sugar. 3. Place pie in pre-heated 350° oven and bake for 60 minutes. Leave baked pie at room temperature on a cooling rack and cut into 6 or 8 pieces, 2 hours after baking. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.

I am pleased to introduce myself. Over the last 40 years, I have lived in 10 cities within the United States and Latin America and I am now proud to call Lake Bluff home! I am fluent in Spanish, I enjoy traveling, and largely because of my childhood experiences – I value the unique perspective of other cultures as much as the warm appeal of Lake Bluff & Lake Forest. When at home, I enjoy spending time outdoors – I feel most alive when I am surrounded by nature. It is a privilege to wake up each morning and walk to Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff, where I like to do yoga or meditate. My children Freda 15, Harry 12, and Tom 9, are my greatest source of pride and significant life’s work. My husband, Tracy was born & raised in Lake Bluff, and we consider ourselves fortunate to be residents.

the north shore weekend

Making his pitch

Loyola’s Yalowitz will try to be a two-way player at Illinois BY KEVIN REITERMAN sports@northshoreweekend.com

e describes himself as Mr. Ordinary. Just your typical high school kid. But that all changes — when Jack Yalowitz puts on a baseball uniform and steps onto the field. There’s nothing humdrum about his game. This stylish ballplayer, who just finished his senior year at Loyola Academy, possesses head-turning talent. Wearing jersey No. 13, Yalowitz was a two-way star — pitcher/ center fielder — for the Ramblers for the past two seasons. And there’s a good chance that Yalowitz will continue down this path, when he suits up for the University of Illinois. “With his skill set and his tools, he’s got the potential to be a two-way player at the Division I level,” says LA head coach Nick Bridich. Besides dripping with natural talent, Yalowitz is known as a tough-minded, rock-solid and grind-it-out kind of player. Thus, it only makes sense that he plays his club baseball with Chicagobased Gravel. He’s as valuable as he is versatile. And Sam Sorce, head man with the Gravel, loves that about him, “He’s a great kid to have on your baseball team,” Sorce says. “He can do so much for you. Being a two-way player makes him valuable.” Perhaps, Sorce sees a little of himself in Yalowitz. Back in the day, the 55-year-old Sorce was Mr. Versatility. On April 29, 1981, as a member of the Miami Hurricanes, the LaGrange Park native played all nine positions in a college baseball game. In addition to building an elite travel team — three members of his current 2015 team were drafted last week — he was a 24th round draft pick by the Texas Rangers in 1982 and went on to play five seasons of minor league baseball. Thus, Sorce’s opinion matters. He’s got insight, when it comes to a player who is a … Jack of all trades. “Last summer, I had college coaches asking me what I liked

most about Jack,” Sorce says. “I told them it changes … from game to game. “Jack asked me if I thought he could do it (be a two-way player in college),” says Sorce. “I told him that there would be a lot of wear and tear on his arm. Personally, I wouldn’t want to lose his bat in the lineup. But I can see him possibly being used as a closer. He’s got value on the mound, at the plate and in the outfield.” Yalowitz is an interesting watch. In the batter’s box, Yalowitz — who grew up being a huge fan of Ken Griffey Jr. — has a rather unconventional hitting approach. He uses an exaggerated stance. “It’s a little unorthodox. Very wide open,” says Yalowitz. “I’ve been hitting like this since I was a little kid. It helps me see pitches better. Helps with my timing. “I guess it’s my trademark,” he adds. The left-handed swinging Yalowitz, a two-time all-star in the rough and tumble Chicago Catholic League, batted .364 this spring. He clubbed four home runs and ripped six doubles to finish with 22 RBIs. His on-base percentage was .448. His OPS (on-base plus slugging) was .981. “The thing about Jack is that he hits better against better pitching, especially the harder throwers,” says Sorce. “He’s got an advanced swing.” On the mound, Yalowitz’s idiosyncratic delivery tends to confound hitters. He hides his pitches well — from the windup and the stretch — by rotating and turning his body away from batters. As a hitter, you see the No. 13 on his back a lot more than you see the red stitches of the baseball. His delivery also features plenty of torque — the good kind. It’s distinctive. “It’s a little funky,” says Yalowitz. “But it helps me to be smooth and fluid. “It’s been an efficient way for me to throw strikes,” he adds. “I pitched this way as a little kid. It’s changed very little over the

Comin’ at ya: Loyola Academy’s Jack Yalowitz delivers a pitch in the regional semifinal against Taft. He will try to be a two-way player at the University of Illinois. PHOTOGRAPHY BY Ting Shen

years.” There’s nothing unconventional about his stuff. He complements his 85 miles-per-hour fastball with two other quality pitches: curve and change-up. “He’s got that little pause and he’s got that kick,” Sorce says. “It’s a little Japanese-like.”

As the ace of Loyola’s staff, the left-hander was an effective strike thrower this spring: 6-4, 2.25 ERA. He recorded 84 strikeouts and allowed just 19 walks in 59 innings. He gave up only 44 hits. His WHIP was 1.06. Yalowitz went seven or more innings in six of his starts. And

he went the distance in two state playoff games. Yalowitz threw 115 pitches in LA’s 6-2 regional-opening win over Taft on May 28. No question, he likes to finish what he starts. “It’s the competitive juices in me,” says Yalowitz, who finished

the Taft game with eight strikeouts, including a stretch where he notched five straight Ks. “As long as I can make the pitches I need to make, I like to stay out there.” Yalowitz also plays a stellar center field. It helps to have closing speed. “He runs the 60 in 6.7,” says Bridich. “He can fly.” “He doesn’t look like he’s that fast,” Sorce adds. “But he covers a lot of ground in the outfield. And he can steal a base. “If he weren’t left-handed, he’d be a shortstop.” Yalowitz also is an asset in the dugout. “He’s a good teammate,” says Sorce. “Everybody on our team loves him.” “He’s pretty down to earth,” says Loyola senior first baseman Jacob Frank. “He gets vocal. He likes to get everybody pumped up. But he’s not one to gloat. He doesn’t think he’s above anyone else. “We counted on him a lot,” Frank adds. “You need a pitcher on your team who can chuck it past people. Jack can do that. And he hit better for us this year. He’s just a good all-around player.” The game always has been a good fit for the 5-foot-10, 170pound Yalowitz. “I love everything about baseball, especially the competitive games,” he says. “Even though I didn’t have one of my better games that day, there’s nothing better than being in a game like we had against Notre Dame,” adds Yalowitz, referring to LA’s 2-1, 11-inning win over the Dons in a regional title game on June 1. For Yalowitz, being a two-way player for the Fighting Illini would be ideal. “It’s pretty taxing. And it definitely wears on you. It takes a lot of ice packs. A lot of Ibuprofen,” he says. “But, as of now, I’d like to remain a two-way player. We’ll see what happens in the fall.” It’s easy for Frank to follow that line of thinking. “Baseball is his life,” his teammate says.

Mighty fortress New Trier ascends to back-to-back state titles behind Kaufman’s superior play in goal BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

he awoke one morning at 4:30 a.m., in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, late last summer. Dani Kaufman, New Trier High School’s reigning Class 3A state champion soccer goalkeeper, would hike for six hours that day with a guide and her father, David. They wore climbing shoes and packed harnesses and ropes. The order for the trek: guide, Dani, David. “My dad was the anchor,” Dani Kaufman recalled. “I love to travel. I love the outdoors. That hike was really cool.” Before the hike, before the sun greeted early risers, the father and daughter sat and talked and reflected on what the daughter had accomplished while wearing soccer shoes and making save after save for two teams in the previous five months or so. The hiking enthusiast got horizontal for some, ascended for others. Dani Kaufman had also been the trusty keeper for FC United’s U16 squad, which placed third in the nation last summer at the US Youth Soccer tournament in Germantown, Maryland. “Crazy … those months were crazy,” Dani, now a senior-to-be, said. “My dad and I both thought that. It was unbelievable, those accomplishments. I fully realized, before going on that hike, how special those teams were and how fortunate I was to be a part of them.” She became a junior at New Trier High School in the fall of 2014, the soreness from that hike long gone. Spring arrived and so did sustained success for the Trevians’ girls soccer program and its four-limbed wall of a keeper. Again. NT (27-1-1) defeated Neuqua Valley 2-0 on June 6, marking the second time a team coached by Jim Burnside had captured consecutive state titles. (His 2003 and ’04 New Trier teams hauled first-place prizes from North Central College in Naperville to Winnetka.) Kaufman hadn’t allowed a goal in the postseason, seven matches total. She had gone 7-0 — with no goals allowed — during the previous postseason. Her goalsagainst average for the ’15 season was a 0.35, a dinky and wonderfully stingy number. The Illinois High School Soccer Coaches

Association named Kaufman a first-team all-stater. How long did it take to make that decision? One second? A tenth of a second? “She came up with a lot of great saves, some of them unbelievable [in the ’15 state final and a 1-0 double overtime win over Barrington High School in a state semifinal on June 5],” said New Trier senior-to-be Celia Frei, a midfielder who scored both goals in the state title match earlier this month and has battled with Kaufman on FC United teams, including the one that starts US Youth Soccer Region II U17 action this weekend in Appleton, Wisconsin, and other sites in the northeastern part of the state. “There were times,” she added, “when many of us thought, after watching her make an amazing save, Wow, I thought that shot was going in. She has quick reactions. It’s like she knows where the ball

is going to go before anybody else does. She always seems to be exactly where she needs to be to stop a shot. Dani reads shots well.” Kaufman was 10 years old when a soccer coach informed her one day, “Hey, you’re in goal.” Kaufman’s quick reaction to the news was, “Sure, why not?” She got used to using her hands on soccer pitches. Opponents soon wished she hadn’t. “I started to enjoy it,” Kaufman, a Wilmette resident, recalled. “Then I fell in love with the position.” She honed her craft in front of the nets under the guidance of Burnside and FC United goalkeepers coach Jim McNitt, a pair of former New Trier keepers. McNitt earned All-America soccer status at New Trier and at Amherst College in Massachusetts. A goalkeeper in soccer is lot like a catcher in baseball or softball,

constantly facing the entire field, setting up the defense, shouting encouraging words one minute and barking necessary orders the next. Catchers wear masks. Kaufman wears leadership well. “Dani provides really good direction for her teammates,” McNitt said. “She is a good, positive leader, what you want from your field general. Her communication skills are the kind you want from a goalie. Her technique … she is technically very sound. She has tremendous resolve and heart and determination; she gets in the goal in those games, and this girl is laser-focused. And her work ethic, what many people don’t see, is outstanding. “I saw fire, her competitiveness, when I started working with her. It’s still there.” It will be there, no doubt, when she starts to play for the University of Maryland after one more

season as a Trevian. Kaufman committed to the Big Ten school last July. There’s another side to the 5-foot-8 Kaufman, a side that is packed with attributes her teammates and friends appreciate and embrace. She is fun, quick to laugh, quick to make others laugh. Kaufman was in charge of the music played on team bus trips this spring. Hey, … Miss DJ. The first song had to be “Real Love,” by Clean Bandit. The last song had to be “Lose Yourself,” by Eminem. A superstitious bunch, those Trevs. “Pump-up music,” Frei said. “The music Dani picked for our road trips was never slow.” More than two years ago, when Kaufman was a freshman and recent 2015 New Trier graduate and all-state defender Jackie Welch was a sophomore, the two stood near each other in between sprints at a varsity practice. Welch,

an FC United player, had heard of Kaufman. Kaufman was that promising goalkeeper for a younger FC United squad. “She came right up to me and started a conversation,” Welch recalled. “She said, ‘Jackie, I can tell we’re going to be good friends.’ “I hardly knew her then.” Dani Kaufman and Jackie Welch are good friends today. They will be good friends tomorrow and too many tomorrows to count after that. Pick a Trevians soccer player, any Trevians soccer player. That player, more than likely, counts Kaufman as a good friend. “Dani isn’t just a talented goalie,” Welch said. “She wants to get to know everybody on the team, on and off the field. She gets along with everybody. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a picture of her eating ice cream with a teammate, hoping to get to know that teammate better.”

A girl with a plan Forward thinking Karahalios — a marvelous middie for the Scouts — intends to excel on the West Coast BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

atie Karahalios was a freshman at Lake Forest High School in 2012, a JV lacrosse player, a middie in love with her sport. It all seemed normal back then, another athlete enjoying the outlet of a challenging sport to complement the challenges of a new academic environment. But Karahalios was not just another athlete three years ago. She looked ahead, way ahead, determined to do whatever she could to make sure lacrosse would become an exciting diversion for her in … college, freshman year through senior year. Yes, college. Karahalios, at a time when most of her peers could not wait for that first lazy day of the summer of ’12, had the foresight to start thinking about the first day of the fall of ’15. She researched college lacrosse programs. She marketed herself. She contacted college lacrosse coaches. Not all replied. Some replied warmly but not enthusiastically. None of the early rebuffs deterred Karahalios. None of the middling responses deterred the middie. “The recruiting process changed me,” Karahalios recalls. “It was tough. I was committed to it. I made sacrifices. I emailed coaches, called coaches. My list of top five colleges … it kept changing. My mom [Lisa] became my manager, helping me, supporting me, traveling with me all over the country. She was great throughout the whole process. We talked a lot and got to know each other really well. Together we learned a lot.” The process ended, happily, in January of Karahalios’ junior year, halfway through her prep lacrosse career. She liked the lacrosse program at the University of Southern California. The USC lacrosse program and its head coach, former Northwestern University All-American middie Lindsey Munday, liked Karahalios. Munday, also a former NU assistant coach, had coached a 10-year-old Katie Karahalios. USC, in only its third season

this spring, qualified for the NCAA women’s lacrosse tournament, beating James Madison University 13-10 in the first round and losing 17-9 to Duke (and former LFHS standout Isabelle Montagne, a sophomore defender) in the next round. USC finished 14-6, 8-1 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation); Duke (16-5) reached the Final Four. “[Munday] saw me play in a tournament in California,” Karahalios says. “I kept emailing her. I visited USC my sophomore year. My travel coach [Emily Jakacki of Lakeshore Lacrosse] helped me, too.” The involved, sometimesstressful, sometimes-enlightening process behind her, Karahalios — weight off her shoulders, her mind clear — thought only lacrosse thoughts when she played for the Scouts the past two springs. Advantage, LFHS. Disadvantage, LFHS opponents. She served as a defense-minded middie as a junior on a team with 13 seniors in ’14, and she still managed to whip in 32 goals and dish 22 assists for a 9-10 team. Lake Forest coach Cat Catanzaro needed Karahalios to up her game on the offensive side of the field this spring. Karahalios delivered, scoring a teamhigh 46 goals to go with 20 assists for another 9-10 squad. “Katie,” Catanzaro says, “had to step out of her comfort zone, and she did a tremendous job for us at both ends of the field. She was a force, defensively and offensively. Katie has that drive, that drive to improve or fix a part of her game, any part she thinks needs to be fixed. She is never done, never satisfied. She is a true workhorse.” Karahalios, future Trojan, earned All-America honors (honorable mention) and All-Academic status from the US Lacrosse Association after the ’15 season. The Illinois High School Women’s Lacrosse Association (IHSWLA) named her an all-stater (second team). Karahalios discovered the sport of lacrosse near the end of the fifth

grade. Her father, Dean, bought her a beginner’s stick. It felt good, felt comfortable. She had tried soccer and field hockey. Neither interested her as much as lacrosse did. Lacrosse was the sport. Her sport, her passion, her extracurricular focus, blinders figuratively placed near her eyes. “It was easy to pick up, and what helped me was all the good coaches I had,” Karahalios says. “I didn’t just like the sport of lacrosse when I started. I liked all the coaches, all the players. Lacrosse coaches and players are so welcoming. It’s a growing sport. It grows every year.” Two years ago Karahalios

visited EFT Sports Performance in Highland Park for the first time. She eventually trained with trainers, ran up a hill in Northbrook with other athletes, returned to the facility to sprint, shove sleds, lift weights. That, too, felt good, felt comfortable. It became part of the marketing plan, a fit Karahalios to augment all that lacrosse talent. A normal week for Karahalios these days includes four or five sessions at EFT. “EFT … that’s her second home,” says Annie Simpson, a lacrosse defender and senior-to-be at Lake Forest High School. “She loves working with the people there. She told me her day bright-

ens up whenever she goes there. “Katie,” she adds, “made everybody around her look better and play better. You could throw her a terrible pass, and she’d make a spectacular catch, no problem. She was our star this year, a star on a young team. She not only scored goals and passed well for us; she played tough defense. I remember this one game, when she guarded a really good player and completely shut her down. That player couldn’t get anywhere [inside] eight meters.” Catanzaro remembers a game this spring when Karahalios turned the ball over and did something about it, almost immedi-

ately. The ball back in the webbing of her stick, Karahalios raced down the field, dodged and darted, took a shot. The shot zipped passed the goalkeeper. Goal. Emphatic goal. Turnover forgotten, immediately. “You should have seen the look on her face after that turnover,” Catanzaro says. “She was upset; we could all see that. She also was determined, showed grit. Katie decided, at that moment, she wanted to do anything she could to make up for that mistake. And then she did just that. That moment, to me, defines Katie. Her drive … that drive to get better, to go for something she wants, it’s always going to be a part of her.”

QUICK HITS | Baseball MLB Free-Agent Draft: The Los Angeles Dodgers have tapped into some of the talent on the North Shore. In last week’s MLB First-Year Player Draft, they selected ex-Highland Park High School star Jason Goldstein in the 17th round. Then, in the 18th round, the Dodgers picked former Lake Forest High School standout Chris Godinez. Meanwhile, in later rounds on June 10, two Glenbrook South pitchers were drafted — by divisional rivals. The Chicago Cubs went for GBS senior right-hander Fitz Stadler in the 32nd round (pick No. 953). Then, with the 1061st selection (35th round), the St. Louis Cardinals chose Luke Harrison, a relief pitcher for Indiana University. Goldstein recently completed a stellar season with the University of Illinois. The junior catcher was named first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-Region. He was second-team All-Big Ten last season. This spring, Goldstein hit .286 with eight homers and 47 RBIs for the Big Ten champs. He made the watch list for the Johnny Bench Award (college baseball’s top catcher) but didn’t win it. Godinez, a junior second baseman for Bradley University, earned honorable mention all-conference honors in the Missouri Valley. He hit .302 with five homers, 14 doubles, 15 steals and 19 RBIs. Godinez knows how to reach base. He finished the season with one of the best on-base percentages (.505) in the country. He set a single-season school record for most walks (46), while he was hit by a pitch 17 times. He ended the season with a string of 33 games in which he reached base either by a hit, walk or hit by pitch. Harrison had a terrific career with the Hoosiers. This spring, the relief ace went 4-2 with three saves. In putting together a 2.02 ERA, he allowed only 38 hits in 49 innings. He had 61 strikeouts and 13 walks. The 6-foot-4, 238-pound right-hander finished his four-year career with a 15-4 record and 2.86 earned

run average. He recorded 174 Ks in 167 innings. The 6-foot-9 Stadler completed his senior season with the Titans by going 8-3 with a 1.24 ERA. The Arizona State recruit ended up with 97 strikeouts and 27 walks in 56.1 innings.

QUICK HITS | Baseball Highland Park: Three Giants made the all-Central Suburban League North team: senior shortstop Liam McCann, junior center fielder Justin Mills and senior Dan Wagner. Mills led the Giants (11-25) in hitting with a .340 batting average to go along with a .492 on-base percentage. He had six doubles and scored 23 runs. McCann hit three home runs and knocked in 18 runs, while Wagner finished 4-7 with a 4.17 ERA. Wagner was named HP’s co-MVP along with senior catcher Justin Halpern. Halpern hit .247 with 12 runs and 11 RBIs. Mills and junior Noah Stern have been selected to play in the Underclassman Showcase at UIC this weekend. Stern, a two-way player, hit .268 while going 1-1 with a 2.45 on the mound. The team’s other offensive leaders included senior Eric Schwartz (.296, 8 doubles, 20 RBIs, 15 runs), senior Sam Nevers (.277, 2 HRs, 21 RBIs, 14 runs), senior Benjy Rubin (.256, 10 runs) and sophomore Thano Fourlas (.253, 16 runs). On the mound, senior Danny Grossberg finished 2-1 with a 2.96 ERA, while HP’s sophomores finished 26-9 and claimed the CSL North title. The freshman team wound up 25-9. Lake Forest: Four Scouts earned first team all-North Suburban Conference accolades: senior catcher George Karkazis, senior pitcher/first baseman Mark Turelli, senior infielder Cal Kropke and senior outfielder Mateo Hargitt. Karkazis, a Miami of Ohio recruit who was coPlayer of the Year in conference, led the team in batting average (.430), slugging (.733), on-base percentage

Loyola: Senior pitcher/center fielder Jack Yalowitz and senior shortstop Alex Thomas made all-conference for the Ramblers (18-17). Yalowitz, who will play at Illinois, hit .364 with 31 runs, 22 RBIs, six doubles and four home runs. On the mound, he was 6-4 with a 2.25 ERA. Thomas, a slick fielding shortstop, batted .305 with 23 runs and 19 RBIs. The other offensive leaders include junior third baseman junior second baseman Jack Lombardi (.302, 17 runs), junior third baseman Thomas Smart (.294, 36 runs), senior first baseman Jacob Frank (.287, 37 RBIs, 6 homers, 8 doubles), sophomore catcher Brendan Egan (.269) and senior outfielder Paul Cushing (.264, 18 RBIs). Following his promotion to varsity, sophomore left fielder Sean Tully hit .359 in 39 at-bats. LA’s other standout hurler was senior Mikey Rivera. The Denison-bound right-hander ended up 4-3 with a 2.59 ERA. He had 54 Ks and allowed 59 hits in 59.1 innings. Juniors Neil Udelhofen and Thomas Giella won three games each. New Trier: The Trevians placed four players on the all-conference team: senior center fielder Jake Reynolds, senior left fielder Scott Hammes, junior lefthander Ben Brecht and sophomore second baseman Kevin Donahue. Reynolds, who will continue his playing career at Oberlin College, led the Trevians (21-10-1) in several categories including hitting (.343), slugging (.566), hits (34), home runs (3), doubles (9) and RBIs (24). Hammes batted .287 with 19 runs and 15 RBIs. Donahue ended the season hitting .329 with a .398 on-base percentage. Brecht’s numbers were sparkling. He finished 4-0 with a 0.59 ERA. He allowed only six walks and 17 hits in 47.1 innings. He also was given the Pete Burnside Award (team’s best pitcher). The Ron Klein Award Winner, which goes to a player with outstanding character and leadership, went to senior pitcher Danny Katz. The Northwestern-bound right-handed hurler also had impressive numbers. He wound up 8-4, with a 2.07 ERA. He allowed only eight walks in 54 innings. NT will send four players to the Underclassman Showcase at UIC this weekend: Brecht, sophomore shortstop Clay Czyzynski, junior outfielder Mike Hurley and sophomore catcher Max Rosenthal. Czyzynski hit .309 with seven doubles, 19 runs and 12 RBIs. Hurley batted .237 with 17 runs and 13 RBIs, while Rosenthal hit .292 with 10 runs and 10 RBIs. Junior outfielder Ryan Acri was named as the team’s Most Improved Player. He hit .327 with 20 RBIs. The other leading hitters included Matt Boscow (.329,), Dylan McGuire (.264) and Will Francke (.271).

The other top hurlers were senior starter Tim Fox (4-3, 1.65 ERA, 38.1 IP, 37 Ks, 15 BBs, 32 hits) and senior reliever Andrew Earvolino (1-0, 7 saves, 2.03 ERA, 20.2 IP, 20 Ks, 7 BBs, 13 hits). Earvolino will pitch at Washington and Lee next year. Fellow senior pitcher Kai Leisher will pitch at Kenyon Colelge.

Club Soccer | Region II Championships Lake Forest Soccer Association: After claiming a State Cup on May 31, the LFSA’s U13 girls select team, which is ranked No. 4 in the Midwest, will compete in the Region II Championships in Wisconsin on June 20-24. The Oktay Akgun-coached squad, which won the U12 State Club last spring, improved their overall record to 43-1-1. LFSA used goals by Malori Killoren, Callista O’Connor and Bridget Mitchell to defeat Galaxy Blue 3-1 in the state championship. Ingrid Falls, Nicole Doucette, Killoren and Mitchell were credited with assists. In the semifinal round on May 30, LFSA topped FC United 3-1. Mitchell led the team with two goals and one assist.

At the Next Level | Baseball

Creighton: Sophomore outfielder Danny Woodrow, a Loyola Academy grad, started 50 of 51 games for the Bluejays (32-19) this spring. He hit .281 with eight doubles and five triples. He led the team in runs (42) and steals (21). Northwestern: JR Reimer has completed his first season with the Wildcats (18-36). The Lake Forest High School grad was a two-way player. As a position player, he appeared in 32 games and hit .233 with 10 runs and seven RBIs. His big moment came on March 27, when he hit a two-run homer in NU’s Big Ten opener against Minnesota. Reimer also pitched in five games (8.1 innings). Meanwhile, fellow freshman Tommy Bordignon, a Loyola Academy grad, pitched 23 2/3 innings for NU. One of his best outings also came in the Big Ten opener. He didn’t allow a hit in two frames. William & Mary: Former Lake Forest High School standout Charley Gould, a junior first baseman/catcher for the Tribe, has been recognized for his play this spring by being named first-team ECAC and first-team all-East Region. Gould batted .388 with 66 hits, 15 doubles, 13 home runs and 52 RBIs. Earlier this season, Gould was named to the Colonial Athletic Association first team along with being a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy — awarded to the best player in collegiate baseball.

Middleburg Bank Intercollegiate and finished in a tie for fourth at the Mid-American Conference Championship. In addition to earning all-MAC First Team, he was named the MAC Freshman of the Year. His efforts helped Miami win the MAC Championship for the first time since 1996. The team also earned a berth an NCAA regional berth for the first time since 1998.

Women’s Swimming Denison: New Trier's Campbell Costley has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America At-Large second team. The junior-to-be holds the school record in 500 freestyle.

Women’s Softball Denison: New Trier's grad Lauren Secaras, a freshman at Denison in 2014-15, was named to the all-region firstteam as utility player. She hit .431 with 37 RBIs and 14 doubles. Meanwhile, NT grad Ryan Lee, a sophomore at Denison, earned all-conference honors by hitting .322 with eight doubles and 26 RBIs. Middlebury: New Trier grad Allison Quigley, freshman at Middlebury, earned all-league honors. Her stats: 13-4, 1.89 ERA, 111 IP, 103 Ks.

Men’s Track

Miami of Ohio: Earlier this spring, freshman Patrick Flavin was named to the 2015 Division I PING All-Midwest Region Team by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). The Highland Park High School grad averaged 72.97 strokes per round during his freshman season with the RedHawks. Flavin took runner-up honors at the

New Mexico: North Shore Country Day grad Peter Callahan, a red-shirt senior for the Lobos, earned AllAmerica honors for the second year in a row, when he raced to a fourth-place finish in the 1500 meters (3:55.22) at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Cham-

Memphis: Lake Forest's grad Carolina Carmichael, a junior at Memphis, claimed second-team All-America honors after taking 10th (13-9 1/2) at NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon on June 11. Carmichael, who owns the school record at Memphis, also placed 10th (13-7 ¼) at last year’s NCAAs.

Thinking Out Loud | Baseball Up for debate: Is the re-entry substitution rule good for high school baseball? Would Abner Doubleday, the supposed inventor of baseball, go for it? In the top of the sixth inning of a Class 4A sectional semifinal at Niles West on June 4, Oak Park-River Forest coach Chris Ledbetter used the rule to perfection. With one out and runners on first and second, he relieved his left-handed starter (Atwood) with a right-hander (Joseph Cundari) to face two Loyola Academy right-handed batters: Jacob Frank and Sean Tully. Frank drew a walk to load the bases, while Tully grounded into a force play resulting in an out at the plate. With two outs and the bases loaded, Ledbetter returned to the pitcher’s mound and brought Atwood out of the dugout and back into the game to face the lefthanded hitting Brendan Egan. To his credit, Egan hit the ball hard — but right at OPRF third baseman Dali Durazo for the third out. OPRF went on to win the game 3-1.

Let’s Talk Real Estate A common obstacle buyers and Realtors® face at the closing table is that of improperly filled out or lost documents. Many lenders, through changing mortgage documentation, last-minute denials, contract cancellations, lost or misfiled paperwork and rating requirements have caused both buyers and Realtors® alike to lose faith in the organization of these institutions. Smart Realtors® and savvy buyers will take this into account and have a “Plan B” at the ready, in order to ensure expediency in closings. Keep copies of all pertinent paperwork collected in one safe place where you can access it easily. If possible, make duplicates of each document and give them to your Realtor® for safekeeping. Know your credit rating and if possible, obtain pre-approval to keep your closing running as smooth as possible. With a little extra effort, someone else’s lost papers don’t have to be your problem!
