Veteran sailors race in ‘The Mac’ By Emily Spectre

his year marks the 107th Race to Mackinac, and three Wilmette residents — Bob O’Brien, Scott Sims and Matthew Beer — sailed in what’s known as the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world. “The Mac” began July 10 at the Chicago Lighthouse east of Navy Pier, where more than 3,000 sailors aboard 324 sailboats departed for a 333-mile trip that ended at Mackinac Island in Michigan. Sims’ Slapshot II finished 47th racing for the ChicagoMackinac Trophy. O’Brien’s Friendly Confines captured 29th Continues on page 12

Biggest Mariano’s store opens BY Joanna Schneider

ariano’s largest store to date opened in Northbrook on June 30. The supermarket retailer has 32 locations — it opened a nearby store on Waukegan Road in Glenview in October — and has plans for two more by the end of 2015. The new, nearly 91,000-squarefoot store boasts specialty food, including a gelato pop station, oyster bar, cheese and charcuterie areas and expanded vegan and vegetarian offerings. Also available: the company’s first on-site Vero coffee stand with roasted beans available for purchase.

At a recent visit to the store, lines were long but moved quickly, and shoppers said they were happy to see the mega-supermarket so close to home. “The selection is incredible,” said Amy Reed, a Glenview resident and mom of three. “And it’s so convenient.” Reed’s 10-year-old has taken an interest in cooking meals with mom and said she loves the produce department – and sushi. “It’s fun to pick healthy things; peppers and California rolls are my favorite,” she said. Located at 2323 Capital Drive in the NorthShore 770 development, the new store has created about 500 jobs in the area.

“Elizabeth Booth found a way to use intelligence, curiosity, experience, entrepreneurialism and organizational skills to be an early successful woman.” —Karen Ettelson Dern (Nebraska) and Fred Savage (Wonder Years), and Federal Communications Commission head Newton Minow. Television journalists Walter Jacobson and Ann Compton spent childhoods in Glencoe. Other residents include advertising executive Leo Burnett, former Chicago Bears quarterback Mike Tomczak, August Zeising, president of American Bridge Co., later a division of U.S. Steel — and Judge James Wilkerson, who put Chicago mobster Al Capone in jail. “Glencoe has always had a population mixture,” Ettelson said, noting the community’s Jewish and black populations. “Even in the late 1800s, we were an integrated community. We had a [proportionately] large AfricanAmerican population.”

Evidently, here, too, capitalism led to Glencoe’s growth, variety and progress. In the southwestern part of town, Ettelson explained, real estate developer Morton Culver purchased land and divided it into smaller lots as a means of providing low-priced housing. “We were a big picnic spot and people would come and spend the day in the country right off the train,” Ettelson said. “We have photos of blacks picnicking in Glencoe. There were also Italians, Germans and Swedes and successful businessmen.” Lakeshore Country Club was founded in 1908 with “a heavy concentration of Jews displaced from Chicago” and Glencoe’s first reformed Jewish congregation opened in 1920. Ettelson estimates that half of today’s Glencoe population is Jewish. “We were also one of the first communities to have a combined police and fire department. Public safety officers are cross trained.” Among Glencoe’s most iconic landmarks are Kalk Park’s gazebo, the Chicago & North Western train station, the tower on top of village hall and the entrance to Central School. Ettelson said that what makes Glencoe unique, however, is its Frank Lloyd Wright legacy. “Glencoe has an enclave of Frank Lloyd Wright houses, a bridge and other structures in Ravine Bluffs,” she said. “There’s no where else in the world where you can see that.” Editor’s Note: This is the second in a summer series about the history of North Shore towns.

THE MAC continued from PG. 1 in the Cruising Category, while Beer’s Retriever ended up 54th going for the Mackinac Cup. Both O’Brien and Sims got their start sailing along the Wilmette waterfront. O’Brien grew up in Wilmette and spent time sailing at Gillson and at his grandparents’ house in Grand Beach, Mich. He always wanted a sailboat and bought a Hobie Cat 27 years ago, storing it at Gillson’s Sailing Beach. Over the years he upgraded, and this year O’Brien and a crew of eight others raced in a new 40-foot Jeanneau 409. Sims grew up in Evanston and learned how to sail on a little boat his father bought when he was eight years old. He also took lessons at Sheridan Shores Yacht Club in the Wilmette Harbor and began racing out of the harbor when he was about 11 years old. At 16, he was invited by a friend to race The Mac, and he was hooked, sailing in a 35- foot J/109 with six other crew members last weekend. He continues to sail with his friend Kirk Wittenberg whom he’s known since he was 10 years old. While Beer grew up in Iowa, he also lived near a lake and learned how to sail on dinghy sailboats. It wasn’t until he moved to Chicago 12 years ago that he started offshore racing. Beer met people in the racing community, and after meeting the chairman of The Mac, he

was lucky enough to sail on the chairman’s boat his first four races. Beer raced a 34-foot J/33 sailboat with six crew members. While O’Brien was in the cruising division and the other men were in the racing division, they each prepared for the race in similar ways. O’Brien put together his crew in January when the invitations for The Mac come out. He organized practices dates for May and June so that the crew could brush up on their skills. Sims and his crew also began preparing in the spring by racing at the weekend regattas in Chicago. They participated in the NOOD Regatta, which is a three-day overnight race across Lake Michigan to Michigan City. Sims described the regatta as a “great Mac training race” that gets the crew used to sailing at night. While Beer’s crew collectively have raced in The Mac 75 times, they still prepare for the race. The crew races in the Waukegan Race, which is an overnight from Chicago to Waukegan and back. Like Sims, they race in the NOOD Regatta and the race to Michigan City. Sailing at night during The Mac presents its own difficulties, but all three crews enjoyed a similar system. Sim’s and Beer’s crews split into two watches that do alternating four-hour shifts. Likewise, O’Brien divided his crew into two watch crews: the Rolex crew and the G Shock crew that switched off every three hours.

Relieving Patterns by Adult Coloring Book Artists” and “Balance” by Angie Grace hold spots on the Amazon best-seller list.

The payment was considerably lower than other bids.

PraCtICal COnsIderatIOns tO Make the MOst Of YOur sPaCe So it’s finally time for you to take that unused spare bedroom, the attic space that only collects dust or the garage that’s the family “catch-all” and convert it into a functional room to suit your family’s lifestyle—congratulations on this exciting step in home ownership! By re-purposing the unused areas of your home, you’re immediately adding enjoyment, relaxation and purpose into what was previously wasted space. In the long-term, you’re adding value to your home’s “resume” by providing prospective buyers with a floor plan maximized for efficiency and square footage, as well as a one-of-a-kind specialty room! For any space conversion, check building regulations to establish necessary headroom. Generally, a room must be allow no less than 6-8 feet of headroom to be considered a “habitable space”; according to most building codes require an opening, such as a window or skylight whose size is comprised of a percentage of the floor area for lighting and ventilation reasons. If an attic doesn’t meet the requirement for headroom it doesn’t mean it is destined to remain an attic: with the help of a contractor, the roof can be raised, or dormerwindows can be installed, providing headroom, lighting and ventilation. When re-purposing a room, it is always a good idea to consult with a building contractor, architect or engineer to ensure the soundness of a structure and to determine whether the additional “living load” will require any reinforcements or underpinnings to maintain the structure’s reliability over time. Trained professionals may also be able to help you find solutions to obstacles to conversion of a room, making sure that wasted space doesn’t stay wasted needlessly. Contractors are also essential for practical solutions: if electricity, drainage or water are needed for a new room, a licensed professional is best equipped to determine how the utilities can be linked to existing services in a manner that is safe and dependable. Finally, consider what kind of room you will be creating and how that room figures into the overall “flow” of the house—for example, a “rumpus room” is probably not best located near quiet bedrooms, nor bathrooms near kitchen or living areas unless there is some sort of separation or lobby space. There’s no reason to waste a space when you could be living there. Once you’ve taken into consideration all of the coding, practical, structural and aesthetic elements to your room conversion, you can relax and enjoy the new room, satisfied in its safety, comfort, beauty and practical luxury!

Veterans of marriage share their secrets

along with others, a few weeks ago after I found a study from the Harvard Business School which reported that individuals who seek advice are perceived as being more competent than those who do not seek advice — especially when the task for which they need advice is difficult. Several residents of Vi at the Glen were generous with their thoughtful responses, and it is my pleasure to pass the wisdom of their experience on to this season’s newlyweds. From Jim and Dolores Conway: “We have learned, sometimes the hard way, that there are three — not always easy — rules to follow. But it’s well worth the effort. “First, compromise: no one is always right and no one is always wrong. Second, communicate: no one is a mind reader, so let your partner know what is bothering you. And third: keep your sense of humor. Life is short, so enjoy each other.” From Kathy and Don Carlin: “Marriage is hard work. A sense of humor makes it easier. Choose someone you can laugh and cry with. Get the idea of divorce off the table.

Natalie Beck

“I played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at Lake Bluff Middle School. I pursued that role and once I performed it onstage, I was sold!” —Natalie Beck

and I booked it right out of college, I called my elementary school friends first and I told them, “I’m going to be the understudy for Cosette [laughs] in Les Miz!” I was in the ensemble every time I wasn’t understudying. I saw Phantom of the Opera and Les Miz whenever they came to town. When I was in sixth grade, the Lake Bluff Middle School had auditions to be in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for the tour that was coming through Chicago. I did that when I was in sixth grade. That gave me a glimpse of what it was like to be on tour. When I came to Chicago with Les Miz, it was really exciting because I remembered that – seeing the actors when I was in Joseph. I was like, “Oh, they have to go grocery shopping [laughs]. They have lives outside of the theater.” When I was in Chicago (for that tour), I thought, “Wow, I’m actually doing what I watched other people doing while I was in middle school.” The Lake Bluff Middle School actually came down to see the show, and I was on for Cosette that night. I think I had like 40 family members and friends, everyone from Lake Bluff and Lake Forest, in the audience to see me. It was really special. I came out of the stage door and they were all there. GS: That must have been a great feeling. What are the challenges of being part of a national tour? NB: The No. 1 benefit of booking a national tour is now I have that credit. Also, I learned a lot about that high caliber of production. I joined eight months into the tour so I had to do exactly what the girl I was replacing did. You have to come in and do exactly what you’re told and

fit into the bigger whole. It was a good experience to see what that was like. I learned a lot about what it was like to perform the same show, eight shows a week for two years. How to keep it fresh and what it’s like when different people go on. Every show, every night is a different show. The challenges are keeping it fresh even after six months. I had to make sure that I didn’t go into automatic pilot mode. I would try to remind myself of my middle school self [laughs] and how I would be so proud and excited to see myself in this production. I’d remember that there are people who are coming to the show who have never seen it before. You want to make it a special experience for them. It was a challenge at first, but I figured out ways to make it fresh every night. GS: What about the rewards? NB: I met so many people in the business being on that show. Now I have a wider range of colleagues and people who do different types of shows. We’re now connected in so many different ways. It’s a small world [laughs]. GS: You mentioned your earlier experiences with Citadel Theatre, which goes back to your college years. Do you know what you will be performing as one of the soloists at the “Broadway Under the Stars” gala for Citadel Theatre on July 18? NB: Yes, I’m doing a medley from Phantom of the Opera, which is one of my other favorites [laughs]. It’s a medley put together by a coach that I worked with here in New York City. I thought it would be fun because it’s an evening to celebrate musicals and all of those melodies that everyone knows and that ring true to so many people. The lyrics are universal. It will be fun to sing that.

ou’re pretty much guaranteed to see something interesting when you wander the North Shore. How can this be guaranteed? Just wait. Take last Sunday. You walked along a North Shore beach. Nautical atmosphere. Sunscreen scent. Sand in your shoes.

And birds. Gulls, terns, sandpipers, maybe a few ducks. Interesting. But, you didn’t dwell on the birds, at least not for the moment. Then, you came to a bluff above a creek that bisects the beach. There’s a wall of hard sand there. In it are hundreds of holes, each

a few inches wide. Again, interesting. You weren’t the only one stopping to look at the wall of holes. Others stood around staring at it; some were even taking pictures. And you were all watching brown and white birds going in and out of those holes. Flitting,

diving, circling, chattering. You found yourself reaching for your smartphone, punching up Google. Soon, you learned that you just stumbled across a colony of bank swallows. Not everyday birds. They’re not backyard birds or lawn birds. Not feeder birds. They’re a Google-worthy discovery.

Pretty interesting. Bank swallows got their name because they build a “bird city” of holes in sand banks or clay banks, all kinds of vertical, earthen walls. You spent a couple of minutes observing them. Okay, point made. You saw something interesting. You always see something

interesting on a walk along the North Shore. But, as mentioned at the start, how can this be guaranteed? Answer: Even on a day when you don’t see anything interesting, well, that’s such a rare occurrence it’s interesting, in itself. So you can’t lose. Bank on it.

The English-Speaking Union (ESU) held its annual Ascot Ball on June 13, drawing hundreds to a private club in Chicago. The theme was “An Evening at the Raffles Hotel”, paying homage to the Singapore staple through décor, food and drink. Co-chairs of the event were Priscilla Barlow and Jetta Boschen, both of Winnetka. Courtney Pitt serves as ESU president. More than $25,000 was raised, going toward ESU’s mission of goodwill and providing educational and cultural opportunities for students, educators, and members.

The Few, the Proud, the … Water Poloists Only the tough — and tough-minded — need apply to this demanding sport BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

lex Grant climbs out of a swimming pool, chlorinated droplets of water sliding off his body and sprinkling a deck. He walks toward his team’s bench. He hears something from the stands. Gasps. The New Trier High School water polo player hears gasps. They are coming from parents.

Grant’s body looks scratched, bruised, splotched. It appears the Trevian had just lost a contentious battle with flying cue balls and thorny shrubs. Claw marks from opposing players’ nails adorn various parts of his upper body. Some call them rake marks. He had also been elbowed and kicked and grabbed.

Just another day at the (watery) office, a water polo player, boy or girl, will tell you. “It’s a physical sport, no question,” Grant, a 2015 NTHS graduate and the Trevians’ leading scorer (122 goals) this past spring, says. “You have to adjust to it, deal with it, especially since 90 percent of the physicality takes place

underwater, near the ball and away from the ball. Refs can’t call everything. Refs can’t see everything. “I’ll never forget, my freshman year, my first game. I’m going against a big guy, this huge guy. He must have been 6-foot-5, and I’m 5-11, maybe 130 pounds then. He had a beard and tattoos. He

gives me this hard bear hug, right there in the water, and whispers, ‘Welcome to the big leagues.’ ” The primary lure of water polo, for competitive swimmers, is the sport’s setting. After spending months swimming lap after lap after lap to prepare for races, the swimmer gets to exhale a bit, gets to compete in familiar water and

play around … with a ball. Fun times. Polo is fun. Swimming is grueling work. But polo players find out, in a hurry, that the water sport with the ball is far from easy and nothing like those get-togethers with a few friends at a pool party. Competitive poloists Continues on PG. 58

have to tread water. They have to sprint, stop, tread some more. They have to fight for position, constantly, and attempt to shoot or pass a slippery object — all while trying to ward off the relentless will, and oscillating limbs, of an indefatigable defender. “Water polo,” New Trier senior-to-be Michael Krueger says, “is a combination of a swim meet, a wrestling match and a chess match. A coach told me that freshman year, and he was right, spot-on. You have to swim hard, handle the physical challenges of the sport and outsmart your opponent. I was terrified, at first, when I realized how different varsity water polo is compared to frosh/soph water polo, how physical it is. I’m huffing and puffing, getting clawed, getting

hit. My fear, though, went away when I looked up at a scoreboard and saw my team was winning. “The sport,” he adds, “is tough, but it’s also exciting, and there’s nothing better than when you’re in the moment and you steal a pass from one of the great players in the area and score against one of the great players in the area … and there are a lot of great players in this area.” Loyola Academy players won the boys state championship in 2014. The New Trier girls team finished runner-up at state in May. The New Trier boys team reached a state quarterfinal in May. The players endured bumps and bruises and lost blood along the way. They also showed, in some cases, incredible restraint in the heat of battle in water, steely and impressive resolve to move on, to keep swimming, even after having

sustained a series of shots to the ribs or knees to the hamstrings. The temptation to retaliate to the cheap shots — and hope the refs are either looking elsewhere or won’t be able to see through the splashes and chaos of one-on-one scrums — must be an ever-present one. “High school kids, they take getting hit or getting kicked personally,” Glenbrook South High School boys coach and former Highland Park High School water polo player David Lieberman says. “It’s sometimes hard for them to hold back. When I was 23, 24 years old, I saw one of my players throw a punch during a game. I yanked him out of the pool and out of the game, right away. I had to set a tone. My message to my players then, as it is now, was, ‘Don’t ever retaliate.’ ” The best way in the world to

respond to any kind of violent act in the exhilarating sport is well within the rules. It is threepronged: Grip ball. Shoot ball. Score. No punches, no syllables uttered. “Our coach [New Trier girls coach Matt Wendt] always told us, ‘Be the bigger person,’ ” recent New Trier graduate and Mercyhurst University-bound Stephanie Jodloman says. “There’s no need to hurt somebody underwater if you had just been hurt. Beat that person, that team, by scoring a goal. The physicality … it’s part of the game, a big part. I’ve gotten out of the pool, with blood [from scratches] running down my back. It’s part of the game. I still love the sport. I had been swimming all my life when I decided to give

water polo a try my freshman year; I wanted to play a spring sport. “I couldn’t be happier with my decision to play it. I can’t wait to start playing it in college.” Tom Saleh played club water polo at Northwestern University. The Wilmette native swam at New Trier High School, played water polo at NTHS. He refereed a water polo tournament at the age of 23. He served as an assistant water polo coach at NTHS and at Evanston Township High School. He was a first-year boys water polo coach at Lake Forest High School this past spring. Saleh has seen it all in the sport, the good, the bad, the ugly injuries. “I’ve seen people lose teeth, get black eyes,” Saleh says. “It can get incredibly physical, as physical as hockey players get in front of a goal. There’s grabbing and pulling

and doing whatever you need to do to get in position for a pass or a shot. Do you know how hard it is to fight for position while treading water? “The older I got, the more physical the sport got. Kids get stronger, faster. The sport gets tougher. My players … they impressed me with their sportsmanship, all spring. They kept their heads on straight, kept their cool in the middle of some rough games. It’s a small community, water polo players. It’s like they all know each other. They also respect each other.” Spencer Moore, a 2015 Lake Forest High School graduate, played two years of varsity water polo for Scouts teams. He stands 6-feet and weighs 190 pounds, smaller than an ocean liner but bigger, much bigger, than a kayak. The contact associated water polo,

especially the underhanded kind, bothered him at first, frustrated him. “I struggled with that,” the University of Michigan-bound club water polo player admits. “I struggled to stay under control. I eventually realized, you have to accept that it’s a part of an extremely competitive game. Hockey guys get crushed into boards. There are massive hits in football. You know what? Hockey players and football plays get back up and continue to play and compete after those incidents. Water polo players, we have to have the same mindset. “If spectators saw what goes on underwater,” he adds, “they’d be shocked at the physicality. It’s a great sport, though. Parents should not be afraid to have their kids give the sport a try. Parents should trust that the coaches and

the referees will do their jobs.” A water polo referee’s job might very well be the most difficult job in sports officiating. A post player in basketball blatantly elbows another to get in position for a rebound. A whistle blows. Hurting big man shoots free throws. A running back gets kicked by an ornery lineman at the end of a running play. A whistle blows. A referee moves the ball 15 yards closer to an end zone. A soccer player grabs a forward, on a breakaway, and tackles the forward. A whistle blows. A referee holds up a red card. A water polo player, some 20 yards away from the ball, elbows and kicks and grabs a foe, all of the action occurring underwater. A whistle does not blare, in part because the referees are paying close attention to aggressive

moves closer to the ball. “I respect referees, definitely respect them,” Glenbrook South senior-to-be Peter Dales says. “It can’t be easy what they do, with all the things that are going on during a games. There’s a difference between physical play and dirty play, and it’s up to referees to know it and make the right calls. What goes on above water is nothing like what goes on underwater.” What goes on above water is PG-rated stuff. What goes on underwater is not kid stuff, especially for kids not accompanied by an adult. Wendt, New Trier’s girls coach, roamed atop pool decks as a water polo referee for five years. He says the most critical time of the game is the first quarter, a stretch when the players get a good feel for what will be called, or not called,

for the rest of the 28-minute tangle. “It is important for a referee to take control of a game early, so that the game doesn’t get out of control,” Wendt says. “That’s why refs tend to call a game a little tighter at the beginning. If a referee doesn’t take control, a game could get ugly fast. Safety is the No. 1 concern in water polo, as it is any sport at the high school level.” Proof: referees check the nails, on all 10 fingers and all 10 toes, of each player before the start of every game. A talon too long? The player has to clip it and pass a second inspection before being allowed to play. Despite the nail checks, players still sustain rake marks on backs and arms and shoulders and torsos, temporary and haphazard tattoos. “You usually get those marks

when you’re in transition,” Moore says. “They’re cheap. You never want to see cheap shots in water polo, in any sport. Here’s what it boils down to: don’t take the physicality of the sport to an extreme level and do your best to contain your composure. Players have to remember that. If I get jabbed several times during a game, I accept it each time. You have to keep swimming. You have to play the sport the right way.” New Trier’s Krueger says his coach, David Rafferty-Flatter, senses when a Trevian is nearing a breaking point during a game. The sense prompts RaffertyFlatter to act. The coach motions to the agitated player and orders a substitute to enter the pool. “Our coach is really good at recognizing when it’s time to sit a player down and make that player take a couple of breaths on

the bench,” Krueger says. “Everybody in water polo reaches [that breaking point], or comes close to it.” How tough are water polo players? How coveted are they? Wendt recently read a piece about the United States Navy SEALS. He learned the SEALS like to recruit two kinds of athletes. “Triathletes,” he says, “and water polo players. Their pain tolerance is high. Players in our sport take a lot of punishment, and they don’t always get rewarded for going through that. You’re in the water, treading water, and a person is all over you, bumping you, trying to upset you … it’s challenging. It takes a certain demeanor, a strong and patient one, to be a water polo player.”

Let’s be Frank Loyola Academy grad figures to thrive in the power department at the next level BY KEVIN REITERMAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

f you saw him come up to the plate for the very first time, you might think, ‘hmm, what do we have here?’ ’’ Here’s a powerful kid. Here’s a “middle linebacker” in a double knit baseball jersey. His swing? Locked and loaded. His look? Long black locks of hair flowing out of his helmet? Not quite Samson-like. But close. Jacob Frank had the throwback thing going this past spring for the Loyola Academy baseball team. This intriguing 5-foot-10, 210pound first baseman had the indisputable look of a power hitter. And here’s a safe bet. His game, especially his power stroke, will only flourish at the college level. Frank was one of the top recruits for Division III power Concordia University. “He can hit the ball out of any park,” said Dusty Napoleon, who was an assistant coach at Concordia before being named as an assistant at Northwestern University on July 6. “His bat is going to play well at the next level, especially his power. He’s got good bat speed, and he uses his legs very well. And when you’re big and strong like him, the ball is going to go when he hits it. “Recruiting him was a nobrainer. He’s got good grades and a good personality. And he comes from a great family,” added Napoleon, son of New Trier High School head baseball coach Mike Napoleon. “It was a good day in the office, when he committed.” Napoleon, a three-year starter at the University of Iowa before being drafted in the 19th round and playing four seasons in the Oakland Athletics farm system, loves Frank’s old-school approach to the game. “You watch,” Napoleon said. “He runs to his position. He’s the first player out of the dugout and onto the field. And he runs out fly balls and groundballs. Hard. “We look for that,” the coach added. “We like kids who play the game the right way.” Frank already has started to transition himself to the River Forest, Illinois, school. Earlier this summer, he assisted the coaches at Concordia’s youth baseball

ended up hitting .382 with 15 doubles and 21 RBIs. His OPS was an eye-popping 1.034. “Hitting No. 4 feels pretty natural for me,” Frank said. “Last year, I hit only one home run, which is not me. So I tried to swing harder and faster this past season.” “It was good having him hit behind me,” said teammate Jack Yalowitz, an Illinois recruit, who batted No. 3 in the LA batting order. “He’s got a lot of raw power, and he’s got it to all fields. “And he’s a very opportunistic hitter,” Yalowitz added. Frank’s signature moment this past spring came at a crucial time. In a Class 4A regional title game against Niles Notre Dame at LA’s Munz Athletic Campus on June 1, he smashed a pitch over the left-field fence to break a 1-1 deadlock in the top of the 11th inning. “It was nice to help out Mikey,” said Frank, referring to senior right-hander Mikey Rivera (Denison University) who pitched all 11 innings in the 2-1 victory. It was a game with plenty of magnitude: regional final, 11 innings, versus Notre Dame. Many of the Notre Dame players are his friends. Immediately after the game, Frank was the recipient of a kind gesture, when a parent — Scott Rafferty, father of junior Charlie Rafferty — went into the left-field woods and dug out the home-run ball. “Special,” said Frank. “The ball is in my room right now. It’s right there with my 2005 Chicago White Sox World Series replica trophy.” A lifelong White Sox fan, it’s no wonder that he counts ex-Sox first baseman Paul Konerko as his all-time favorite player. “He was always that guy for them,” Frank said. Jacob Frank swings away while hitting cleanup for the Ramblers. This past spring, he hit a team-high six home runs while driving in 37 Frank, who plays his club baseruns.

Mad about Madi Strong commitment to conditioning lifted MacRitchie in two sports BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

t is Madi MacRitchie’s first serious day in a weight room, in the summer of 2013, the summer before her junior year at New Trier High School. Strength and conditioning coordinator Jim Davis tells MacRitchie, a field hockey and lacrosse player, to lift a bar, just a bar, weight plates to be added later. MacRitchie lifts the bar. It is heavier than she thought it would be. “I remember thinking, ‘How am I going to stick with this?’ ”says MacRitchie, now a 2015 NTHS graduate and ’14 state field hockey champion. “Hard. That day was hard.” MacRitchie sticks with the lifting sessions, regularly joining field hockey and lacrosse teammates during the seasons and in the offseasons. Davis is a constant, a motivator, an inspiration. He also supervises sprint drills outside and crab walks inside, welcome breaks from the reps in the weight room. The athletes chat and bond in the sprint lines and laugh heartily and loudly during the crab walks. “[Davis] was great, the way he got so many of us to come to lifting,” the 5-foot-6 MacRitchie, a Winnetka resident, says. “And he made it fun. He told all of us how much lifting and working would help us on the field, and he was right. We’d work out during our lunch periods.” Davis coaches a powerlifting team at the school. He recruited, unsuccessfully, MacRitchie to compete for the team, to travel with the team. Commitments to field hockey and lacrosse were her excuses. Davis understood. “Madi trained incredibly hard at the school,” Davis says. “She was consistent and dedicated. She wanted to improve as an athlete, to be the best athlete possible. Once you decide you want to be the best at something, you have to jump in, go all in. Madi did that, and she did that

in an environment that’s also academically challenging. “Our goal in conditioning is, ‘Keep the faith, always keep the faith.’ Beyond that, it’s learn and demonstrate a sound work ethic and commit to your teammates. Madi did all of that.” MacRitchie did not get significant playing time as a varsity member of the field hockey and lacrosse teams in her junior year. The field hockey team finished state runner-up in ’13, the lax team third at state in the spring of ’14. MacRitchie’s impact

could be felt — and heard — from sidelines. It surprised nobody when MacRitchie received the field hockey team’s Spirit Award. She kept lifting and running and crab walking in the summer before her senior year, determined to provide noise with her field hockey and lacrosse sticks. She started at right midfield for the field hockey team, flicking assists for a 22-2-1 team that edged reigning state champion Lake Forest High School 2-1 in overtime for the state title on

Nov. 1. The team’s three favorite numbers ended up being 1, 5 and 7. Kitty Kenyon scored the clincher. “With 15.7 seconds left in overtime,” MacRitchie recalls. MacRitchie took the lacrosse fields as an attack/middie, mostly as an attack, for NT this past spring. She ranked third among teammates in ground balls (23) and fourth in goals (22). MacRitchie also contributed 15 ground ball controls and six assists. NT (20-3) beat Glenbrook South 8-6 in the game for

third place at the state tournament on June 5. “I saw Madi play in a [lacrosse] game near the end of the season, and when she ran hard during an attack on goal, I had a flashback to a moment she had in the weight room,” Davis says. “She was aggressive on that play, absolutely aggressive, full tilt, full speed. Field hockey, lacrosse, time in the weight room … it didn’t matter where Madi was. She approached everything in the same way, aggressively, and it showed. It definitely showed.”

MacRitchie played the violin for nine years and performed for New Trier’s symphony. She lifted a bar in weight rooms and stroked a bow in concert halls. It was a thrill for her, becoming close friends with athletes and musicians. A member of the Rush University Medical Center Junior Board, MacRitchie entertained young patients, made them smile, made their days. Balance. Madi MacRitchie personified balance. MacRitchie’s career in organized sports ended when New Trier’s lacrosse season ended last month. She will take liberal arts classes at the University of Michigan as a f reshman in 2015-16 and then apply to the university’s business school. Her good friend, classmate and lacrosse teammate, Grace Hemmer, intends to play Big Ten lacrosse at UM. “I’ll be the No. 1 University of Michigan lacrosse fan, no doubt,” MacRitchie says. “I’ll be at all of the home games. I might do intramurals. Since I won’t play a sport in college, I will devote most of my time to academics. I am interested, really interested, in seeing where that takes me. “I hope to find my niche.” Count on it. She is finding time, this summer, to serve as a lifeguard and a lifeguard manger at Winnetka beaches, run with her mother, Jennifer, and take spin classes — taught by Marli Gitles (NTHS, ’15) — at Spynergy in Winnetka. One of Jim Davis’ charges has no intention of slowing down. That MacRitchie vs. bar battle, in a weight room nearly two years ago? The one almost won by the bar? It started something. It lifted somebody. “Madi’s strength, which she absolutely earned, combined with her speed, all relative to her body weight … she had to be among the best athletes at New Trier this year,” Davis says.

“Life is about moments. Don’t wait for them, create them.”

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

Sleek family books are a snap By Simon Murray

t’s as beautiful as a picture, really. The Wilmette storefront on Ridge Road with bricks the color of a robin’s egg is more than just inviting. The white windows, looking into the space, reveal shelves filled with large, wellbound, hard-cover books that pique one’s curiosity. And then there’s the door — although a color like that is best described as a statement — a shade of red usually reserved for lips, sports cars or magical ruby slippers. No wonder the proprietors have an eye for these kinds of details. Lunch is served a couple stores down, at the Ridgeview Grill. Sitting across from me are the storefront’s owners: Jon Runnfeldt, whose family has owned the space for over 70 years, and his sister-in-law Julie Chenevert. Runnfeldt, who has been coming to the Ridgeview Grill since he was a boy, orders a Cobb salad with oil and vinegar dressing. The waitress is surprised by his order, which deviates from the usual go-to. “I can’t seem to get away,” he says sheepishly. Chenevert orders a tuna sandwich on wheat toast, chicken and rice soup, and sadly for this

intersects with the physical. “People put their trust in us to be storytellers,” says Chenevert. Just this morning a woman came into the shop with 18,000 photos in a digital library. She wanted to make a 10th anniversary book for her husband. Together, the team parsed it down to about 700 photos, which would then need to be approved by the client, and afterwards edited, cropped, formatted, and eventually printed; a process that altogether takes about 6 to 10 weeks. Chenevert, a professional photographer by trade, first got the idea for the business after being approached by a client following a photo-shoot. This was about 7 or 8 years ago, when the high-powered cameras on mobile phones were not quite as ubiquitous; the rush to preserve every moment not quite as fanatical. The man had 5,000 photos on a hard drive, starting with the birth of their first child. He wanted to send them to his wife as a birthday gift. That was his entire photo library. (Gasp!) As word of mouth grew — the business has survived thus far on word of mouth — the memorabilia grew stranger. A woman from Austin, Texas sent four dust-covered, cobweb-strewn

moving boxes to her doorstep. Inside were all kinds of family memorabilia, from trophies to faded photographs. “She was my first client that I dealt with hard copy prints,” says Chenevert. Digital photos are “time stamped, you can make heads or tails of it pretty easily — your detective work is a lot easier. Hard copy prints, they’re not organized or dated. I was like, ‘Give me the kids’ birthdays,’ and then literally trying to figure out how old they were [in each picture].” Books of Life now has regulars — families they help advise when going on vacations. Being a professional photographer means being able to provide guidelines, offering advice not just on how to set up a camera, but also on what to photograph, and how to photograph it, so as to get everything from the details to the bigger picture. An entire book about a family’s trip to Paris was taken with iPhone 3 or iPhone 4 pictures, which is a testament to the editing and trained eye that goes into choosing each shot. Says Runnfeldt, “Sometimes people don’t know the latitudes their photos have. Just cropping it a little bit, and adjusting the exposure — it’s a whole different photo.”

keep it local...

Did you know that when you work with an @properties broker to buy or sell your home, you not only receive the very best service in the North Shore marketplace, you also benefit the local community? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because @properties is an independent, locally-owned company. Most of our competitors are franchise brands, sending revenue to other states, while all of @properties revenue and tax dollars are invested back into the community, helping local schools, parks, services and infrastructure, and creating additional job opportunities. A home is the ultimate local investment. At @properties, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud to keep it that way.

BE LOCAL.
