THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Our movie theaters

Reduce. Reduce. Reduce.

go the way of silent films— and Norma Desmond

W

e all have fond memories of watching films in small movie theaters on the North Shore. Some remember the excitement of going into a dark balcony; others recall the powerful sounds of a pipe organ.

Though none were grand palaces, they were conveniently located in downtowns and often offered bargain rates (such as $1 a movie at the Deerpath Theater).

Like The North Shore Rail Line that is now essentially a bike path, life changes even in traditional suburbs. Deerpath was shuttered in Lake Forest for the last time in the mid-1980s; Glencoe Theater didn’t survive that long, closing in 1979. And last summer, the Highland Park Theater — sticky floors, bizarre hallways and all — shut its doors on its four-movie operation.

The City Council is mulling an idea of reopening it with one screen and adding condominiums, retail space and more to the site.

Like Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard,” it would be good if North Shore movie theaters could blame their woes on the fact the pictures got small. But they didn’t. Chains with a bigger selection of movies, comfortable seating and better concessions to the west helped draw

residents away from the aging buildings, along with stunning advances in home electronics.

What could have saved these historic spots?

Probably the only option was to adopt the same idea that allows the Cubs to draw millions of fans year after woeful year: serve beer. But maybe kegs of Old Style would have merely made those grubby floors even stickier.

Angelika Labno offers the full report on the demise of the movie theaters (and the fact that one in Wilmette chugs along) in this issue.

I took six years of French, and when I actually visited France to test it out, I was almost laughed out of the country. Fortunately, that won’t be the case for the children and adults who attend the French Institute of the North Shore, as profiled in these pages. It even offers a class that mimics a French restaurant, but two important needs are missing that must be communicated to a waiter. C’est si bon.

Is that a wrap?

■ by angelika labno

There was a time when going to the movies was an experience to be shared with hundreds of people packed into one small theater.

That time may be past on the North Shore. The breed of hometown theaters built before multiplex chains arrived in Vernon Hills and elsewhere is on the brink of extinction — which is somewhat ironic, given that the North Shore is home to a number of famous movie shoots, from “Home Alone” to “Ordinary People.”

“It’s just like having a store with one product opposed to a store with 30 products,” explains Richard Fosbrink, Executive Director of the Theatre Historical Society of America. The ones that survive “really try to package it as an experience rather than just showing a film,” using sing-alongs and other lures to bring people in.

On Monday, the Highland Park City Council heard a proposal on the property housing the Highland Park Theater — which shuttered its doors in July after an 85-year run — and the adjacent parking lot. Alcyon LLC has suggested creating 45 condominium units, commercial space and a 500-600 seat theater/mixed media center.

A vote on the plan is possible in February,

Like many girls, Terry Dason got her own phone line when she turned 16.

Installed in 1970, it ended in -1717 — a catchy number by any standard.

A local business agreed and wanted the number as its own. The owner contacted Dason directly and bought it from her for its own use. Her price was a car stereo, including installation.

“There are still some businesses that want to have catchy phone numbers because you’ll remember them (during ads) on TV or the radio,” said Dason, now executive director of the WinnetkaNorthfield Chamber of Commerce.

That may be the case, but the days when a phone number revealed something about you are almost gone. The popularity of cell phones has depleted the inventory of local phone numbers and blurred the map for which phone numbers were designed.

David England, Comcast senior director of business service operations for the Chicago region, explained that phone numbers are regulated in various ways by third-party agencies and assigned in order to pinpoint geographic locations. That’s why certain parts of town get specific prefixes.

Longtime Winnetka residents have 446and 441- phone numbers. In Lake Forest, 234- phone numbers indicate a location on the east side of town, while eastern Highland Park long has featured 433- and 432-. The method is rooted in the need for emergency responders to find locations quickly.

“When a public service center gets a call (from a landline) to 911, a database uses the landline to find the address. We have to be sure that when you pick up the phone and call 911, the response center can find you,” England said.

For every prefix, there can be 9,999 phone numbers; someone has to be 847555-0000, all the way up to 847-555-9999.

Highland Park added 681- and 748- for new residents throughout the city, for example, but England said the supply of 847- numbers is tapped out for area codes.

The 224- area code is now duplicating the inventory of local phone numbers, he added. For every 847-555-1234 in town, there can also be a 224-555-1234 up the road. But this is not always popular.

“We’re getting a lot of pushback from customers who don’t want the 224 numbers, phone >> page 13

As part of the fiscal year 2013 budget, the City Council authorized the expansion of youth services, re-instating after-school programs and programs when school is not in session.

“The importance of after-school programs for middle school students and programs when school is not in session is critical,” said Councilman Tony Blumberg. “The Division of Youth Services offers valuable, safe, and enjoyable programs in a fun setting for kids. It was evident to me that reinstating City resources to support children through this program was paramount”.

The City of Highland Park’s Human Relations Commission, in partnership with North Shore School District 112, is sponsoring the Martin Luther King, Jr. volunteer event on Monday, Jan. 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Park District of Highland Park’s Recreation Center, 1201 Park Avenue West.

Projects will include assembling toiletries for local shelters, writing letters to soldiers and decorating book bags for needy families.

Lake Forest Seven years after getting public approval for a $54 million referendum, Lake Forest High School is considering a $5 million capital spending plan.

The project — introduced at a recent District 115 meeting — would focus on infrastructure and athletic facilities.

Lindenmeyer Field, which sits on the north end of the campus off McKinley Road, would receive a new eight-lane track. The majority of the proposed project is expected to be financed with bond sales.

At stately Winnetka institute that helps adults, children develop passion for France, the answer is: Oui ■ by

joanna brown

Gracie Atlan had two good reasons for moving her family from Chicago to Wilmette two years ago: New Trier High School and the French Institute of the North Shore.

Her French husband has dual citizenship, as do her two children.

“I have the opportunity to apply for dual citizenship, too, but I have to pass a written and oral French test,” Atlan said.

It’s partly for students like Atlan that founder Maria Kurt launched the French Institute, which creates an environment that inspires others to adopt the same passion for the French language, geography, people and culture that Kurt has long felt.

“I felt that the way adults were learning French was dry,” Kurt said. “In high schools we engage students and have creative techniques to get them speaking, and I wanted to teach adults, too, in a more animated way.”

And so they do. Students arrive for their sixth class, she explains, to find a restaurantstyle table set up in their classroom — but two crucial items are missing. With their instructor acting as the server, students must communicate their needs.

“It’s a real situation and so rewarding, because students walk out the door with confidence that they could fend for themselves in a restaurant,” Kurt said. With France being the top travel destination in the world in 2011, many students come to Kurt before their trips.

In the years that followed the opening of the French Institute Kurt earned a masters degree in early childhood education and traveled abroad to study France’s educational system. And in 2003 she added to the French Institute the French School, a three-year French immersion preschool and kindergarten.

Native-speaking French teachers lead all the classes in a stately building on Green Bay Road, reminiscent of late 19th century Parisian architecture. Inside, classrooms are decorated in the spirit of cosmopolitan Paris, a chateau in Versailles, and the rustic kitchens of Provence.

Atlan said her classes there are as much as social events as learning opportunities. She’s advanced enough to participate in discussions of current events and French cinema with her classmates.

She also enjoys learning alongside her

daughter, currently a French preschool student; Atlan’s son is signed up to join them in the fall.

“I get to go out and be with people who have a common interest, even though I’m new to the community,” she said. “Even when I’m tired and have had a long day with my kids, I think of how fun it will be to get out and see my friends in class, and I didn’t want to miss out on the French bonbons at Christmas.”

As for her children, they’re at the French School for the same reasons as 20 percent of their classmates, Kurt said: they have a family background to drive interest in the French language and style of education. The French School’s curriculum is based on France’s école maternelle, a program set forth by the French Ministry of Education.

But the other 80 percent of students, Kurt continued, are interested in the long-term benefits of learning a second language early in life.

“There are all kinds of studies that explain how learning a language early on stimulates growth of the brain and has long-term effects in terms of creativity and math and verbal skills,” she said. “We live in a world where many languages are spoken, and so it doesn’t phase these children to walk down the street and hear a foreign language.”

At Christmastime, for example, preschool students planted lentils in cotton balls to watch them sprout. In the French tradition, the tallest plant brings the owner a prosperous year.

Wilmette mom Karen Bowen has seen her daughters Melanie, 5, and Tessa, 3, bring dozens of such projects home from the French School. She browses their notebooks full of songs, recipes and activities monthly, and relies on her college language classes to chat with them in French and Spanish.

But her favorite moments are listening to the three girls teach each other and their younger sister new words in their second language.

“They’re rubbing off on each other,” Bowen said.

It’s that kind of enthusiasm that Kurt said brings her students — both children and adults — the greatest success.

“Class is engaging, and if you want success you have to jump in and be able to speak — to give it a try. It’s not for observers. Once you’re hooked on that, you’ll find success.” ■

though if it’s approved it would spend months winding through city commissions.

“That property is so rich in history, and it complements the surrounding businesses,” said Highland Park Deputy City Manager Ghida Neukirch, referring to the downtown location on Central Avenue. “It’s wonderful to hear stories of adults who reflect on going to the theater as kids, going with their parents and grandparents.”

In Highland Park, the aging movie house faced off against national chain Landmark Theatres, which runs the multiplex Renaissance Place Cinema on Second Street. While the Highland Park Theater offered a small concession stand with little atmosphere beyond sticky floors, Renaissance countered with an espresso bar and more comfortable seats.

Highland Park Theater was originally a privately owned vaudeville theater that opened in 1927. In 2007, there was an offer to sell the dilapidated 12,000-square-foot space and build offices in its place; the city bought it in 2009 for $2.25 million. When it learned the building violated several fire codes and that bringing it up to code would cost $500,000, the theater was shut down last year, and the city considered its options.

“If it were up to me, I would love to open it as a single house theater and have it be a repertory theater,” said Highland Park City Council member Anthony Blumberg, who has been working with rehabilitation proposals since August. “But I have to consider a lot of other things.”

Blumberg, a movie buff, remembers going to the Highland Park Theater as a kid when it was a one-screen movie house. At age 10, he sat in a room full of screaming girls during a showing of “Help!” starring the Beatles. He also remembers when an organist would play along to the film, improvising based on what was going on across the screen.

“It was an unbelievable experience to go see a movie with a packed crowd,” said Blumberg. “You reacted with them, even if it was just gasping or being startled by something.”

The Deerpath Theater in Lake Forest opened in 1928, and it featured a pipe organ and organist. It battled for box office receipts against The Deluxe, which had opened earlier a few blocks away, as well as the grand Genesee Theater north in Waukegan, whose construction featured Italian marble. The Deerpath Theater hit its prime in the 1940s and declined until closing in 1979, well after The Deluxe had shut down. The Deerpath phones >> from 10

just like in the city (Chicago) customers don’t want 773 numbers; they want a 312 number to show they live downtown,” he said. “It’s a status symbol to be associated with a certain part of town. Or some people have been associated with a certain number for 30 years, and when they move they want to retain what they’ve always been associated with.

“With businesses, we get a lot of requests for vanity numbers. It sounds good, like a carpet commercial. The younger generation doesn’t care as much because they’re the cellphone generation.”

Phone numbers used to tell a lot about the owners. Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society curator Laurie Stein explained that 234- was the only prefix in Lake Forest for a long time, so having such a phone number indicated how long a family or a business had been around. In fact, the historical society maintains a collection of phone books going back more than

reopened five years later after a $300,000 renovation but lasted only until 1985. (The Genesee ended its run as a movie house in 1982.)

In Glencoe, a one-screen movie theater owned by a local resident and seating 1,000 opened on Vernon Avenue just before World War II. After showing “Heaven Can Wait” in 1979, the theater was demolished.

Winnetka opened a movie theater that was part of Winnetka’s Community House in 1911, and admission cost a nickel. Gina Di Sandro, facilities director at Winnetka Community House, said the movie theater is still there, and it’s called Matz Hall. It is a venue mostly utilized by theater groups for practices and performances. There are removable seats (holding up to 375 people), and one screen that is still in use (a drop-down).

“If you come and say, ‘I’d like to rent the theater and show a movie’ and you have licensing rights for it, we will gladly show it,” said Di Sandro.

Wilmette still boasts the Wilmette Theatre, which aside from two movie screens also is home to kids shows and comedians. Both theaters seat 181, but during the weekdays, only 15-20 may be watching movies in each spot. The venue offers recent releases and more historic favorites such as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Patrick Leary, curator at Wilmette Historical Museum, said that many people still miss Teatro del Lago, a movie theater in the Plaza del Lago area that closed in 1966. He knows the challenges small theaters face.

“It’s harder for them to get movies from the distributers at the same time that multiplexes can. By the time they got it, a lot of the people had already seen it,” he said.

Theaters get lower rates for showing more than five movies at a time, so the cost for showing only one movie or two is astronomical in comparison, Blumberg explains. This may be why nearly 80 percent of screens in the U.S. are located at venues with eight or more screens, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.

Further, with the arrival of VHS, then DVDs and now Blu-Ray, North Shore residents can essentially replicate the movie theater experience at home, albeit with fewer people in attendance.

With the number of moviegoers on the decline, the best way a historic theater can survive seems to be through generous donors — or if it finds a niche. Blumberg entertains the idea of dedicating a month to Alfred Hitchcock flicks — and hopes the idea isn’t dismissed as one for the birds. ■ 100 years (sometimes it’s the only public record linking a family to an address).

Lake Forest College archivist and librarian for special collections Arthur Miller points to Lake Forester Lucia Heyworth. She is the great-granddaughter of community founder and former U.S. Sen. Charles Farwell and maintains the original two-digit phone number assigned to the family’s 1860s estate.

“There were probably only 100-200 estates in town with phones,” Miller said, “and it was probably managed by an operator, like you have in corporate switchboards now.” What used to be accessible by telling the operator the two digits is now contacted by dialing 847-234-00 before the original two digits.

But times have changed. Phone numbers no longer illustrate a community’s growth.

“It doesn’t mean as much as it used to, because so many businesses are using cell phone as their business lines,” said Dason. “A lot of the younger generation doesn’t even have a landline.” ■

Let’s Talk Real Estate

by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs,GrI

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 dormer windows 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!

Loyola student Forsyth embraces school’s ideals ■ by

angelika labno

Loyola Academy’s vision is to be a community made up of men and women who are “religious, intellectually competent, physically fit, loving, open to growth and committed to doing justice” for others.

For these reasons, Charles Heintz, the Assistant Principal for Student Services, believes Mary Therese Forsyth is the epitome of Loyola Academy’s values.

“She demonstrates all the qualities that we desire for our students,” said Heintz.

Forsyth has committed herself to doing justice. Since arriving at Loyola as a freshman, the senior has involved herself in the Arrupe Service Program for all four years, where she tutored kids after school in Rogers Park. She is also part of Torch Club, the school’s oldest service organization. Members are selected by their classmates and faculty, and later approved by the Dean of Students and the Principal, ensuring that the most responsible students lead and provide service.

Forsyth’s memorable service project was a trip to West Virginia last summer through the school’s Campus Ministry.

She spent eight to nine hours a day for five days helping to rehabilitate a house.

“It’s a big opportunity to do service outside of school,” she said. “It was definitely a highlight, and I had a blast.”

Staying physically fit is easy for the lacrosse attacker on the school team. She started playing in sixth grade after her brother picked it up, and worked her way to being named a U.S. Lacrosse 2012 High School Academic All-American.

Forsyth also took Irish dancing lessons in Winnetka, her hometown, since third grade, and participated in Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade every year until last March.

In September, Forsyth was named a National Merit semifinalist, exceeding the “intellectually competent” component of Loyola’s vision. She has sat on the student council since freshman year, where she greatly enjoys the spirit projects. Forsyth is a member of the Clavius Scholars Honors Program, which is oriented towards math and science studies.

Admission into the program is competitive: applicants must have an un-weighted

grade average of 90% or better. This year, Forsyth is in AP Studio Art. “She always produces work of the highest quality,” said art teacher Jane Carney of Forsyth’s graphite drawings. “And she never has an excuse.

“One weekend she had a game, took a test and was going out of town with family, and a major project was due Monday.

Many students came back saying they could not finish it. Mary Therese came back with a beautifully executed drawing.”

Forsyth’s love of drawing may lead to a career in architecture, she says, but she is also considering pre-med. Her interest in becoming a surgeon was influenced by an open-heart surgery that she was able to watch at Resurrection Hospital.

“It’s one thing to read about it in books, but when you’re there seeing it live, it’s a totally different ballgame,” she said, admitting to being nervous at the initial sawing of the sternum, but easing into the procedure afterwards.

Arguably her most unique interest lies in languages and cultures. Having taken French in grade school, Forsyth was not intrigued in learning another European language. She wanted something radically different from what she was accustomed to.

“I thought I’d go on a limb and take Mandarin,” she said, laughing. “I love foreign languages.”

The senior is now in AP Chinese, where the focus is more on culture rather than grammar. The transition from letters to characters was certainly a tough one, she says, but she has enjoyed it and is considering a trip to China in the future.

Despite her academic and social achievements, Forsyth is modest and poised.

“There’s such a polished way about her; the humbleness really stands out,” said Carney. “She has so much that she could be boastful about, yet she is so understated and humble.”

Forsyth has wholeheartedly adopted the Jesuit virtue of being well-rounded and works towards being a spiritual person involved social justice.

Said Forsyth, “There’s more to a person than test scores. It’s not about getting straight A’s; it’s about meeting new people and finding out things about yourself.” ■

When Rosalind Franklin students explained to Boys & Girls Club of Lake County youngsters the dangers of wearing shoes that didn’t fit, they also took time to measure their feet. Many of the youth, who are predominantly from Waukegan, owned shoes two sizes too small – or worse.

“This blew me away,” says Cesilie Price, chief executive officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County.

It became even more startling when teenagers shopped for new shoes, thanks to the generosity of the non-profit’s partners. One young man was obviously not comfortable; he asked to show up with a staff member at another time away from the others.

“He had never been in a shoe store,” Price said. “He asked if he could take the tissue out of the box. He asked if he could try the shoes on.”

Technically, the North Shore of Chicago runs to the Wisconsin border. But once one passes the north border of Lake Bluff, Sheridan Road takes on a far grittier feel. Mansions give way to abandoned storefronts.

With locations in Zion, Waukegan and North Chicago, the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County is an oasis for the troubled area. More than a quarter of residents in Waukegan, for example, report income below the poverty line; more than half of club members come from single-parent homes. Boys and girls from 6 to 18 by the hundreds are able to learn essential skills in a safe environment.

About two years ago, Price led a change of emphasis at the club. Programming would focus on three areas: healthy lifestyles, academic success and good character/ citizenship.

“We felt that was what children needed the most. We felt we needed to give them skills to be successful citizens in the future,” explained the Lake Forest resident over a breakfast of oatmeal and coffee at Egg Harbor Cafe. “A year later, the national program came out with the same formula — we were ahead of the curve.”

Today the club offers programs called Money Matters: Make It Count (created with the Charles Schwab Foundation), Goals for Graduation and CareerLaunch. A commitment to computers is also apparent.

“Kids in underserved communities must have access to technology,” said Price, who noted programs show members the basics of how to use a computer and how to research on the Internet.

One challenge is many members — who fill out an application which a parent or guardian must sign and pay $20 for 36 weeks of after-school access — can’t read, even in high school.

“No teacher says, ‘You can’t read. We’ll keep you at this level.’ They move them on,“ said Price, who added that Dan Coad of Lake Forest High School brings students to the club to tutor members. “When they’re older and can’t read well, they’re embarrassed.”

With a budget of $1.3 million a year, the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County depends on corporations, foundations and individuals to fund operations (it received a threeyear grant from the National Recreation Foundation for $120,000 a year to promote physical fitness and healthy choices among members’ families). Its 13th annual benefit will take place Saturday, Feb. 23 at Cuneo Mansion and Gardens in Vernon Hills (information available at www.bgclc.com).

Price believes it’s important to teach these youngsters to give back. During a

Price is right for youth in need Santa’s Workshop last month, they created presents to give three or four loved ones at Christmas.

“You know how good it feels to give someone something? Some of these children have never been able to do that,” she said.

Born in Springfield, Price attended college in Texas and then moved to the San Francisco area with her husband. That opened her eyes to some problems in education — her fourth-grader’s class contained 43 students, and some schools out there didn’t offer physical education classes or art because they couldn’t pay the teachers.

She was on the founding board of the Boys & Girls Club 14 years ago and served as a board member until she was tapped as chief executive officer five years ago.

“It’s one of the jobs you get excited about every day,” she said.

“You see the way you’re changing people’s lives.” ■ Cesilie Price

A Matter of Taste Cooking much more fun than college classes for Burns

Illinois

Presents:

MITTENS MARGARI AS

■ by katie rose mceneely Bridget Burns is the executive chef of Jerry’s Restaurant and Corner Cooks Catering in Winnetka.

Did you cook growing up?

I grew up cooking mostly with my dad.

My two sisters and I each had a night where we were responsible for cooking dinner. I didn’t realize that everyone didn’t do that until I went away to college and no one could cook.

What made you decide to become a professional chef?

When I went away to college, I happened to live in a dorm with a shared kitchen. I cooked and watched the Food Network all the time and decided it was more fun than going to class. I wanted to drop out and become a cook, but my mom wanted me to have a four-year degree and then go to culinary school. So that’s what I did.

Best advice?

Be nice to yourself, because no one else will. The executive chef before me was always saying this — don’t create more work for yourself than you already have to do.

Favorite dish on the menu?

Right now it’s the branzino (a Mediterranean sea bass). We take all the bones out and stuff it with lemon and dough and fresh thyme and put it on the grill and finish it in the oven. You get great flavor but don’t have to deal with the bones and the head — all the best parts without having to do the work.

Favorite food to make?

AUTISM SOCIETY

and

Monday January, 28th 6pm - 9pm

Bridget Burns My favorite is Thai food, because that’s what I like to eat. Lots and lots of vegetables and it’s quick — anything I can cook in one pan and be done is my favorite.

What do you like to eat at home?

I love to grill, but living in Chicago, we don’t (usually) have a very wide window of opportunity.

Favorite tool?

Silicone spatula — you can use it for everything.

Favorite cookbook?

One that I just got that I love is “Jerusalem: A Cookbook,” by Yotam Ottolenghi.

It’s so beautiful and I want to make everything in it.

Most memorable kitchen incident?

I only have stories where people get hurt.

One time, a guy cut his finger and passed out from blood loss. He cracked his head on the counter on the way down.

THe North shore weekend

01/19 – 01/20/13

All You Need Is Love 2012 photography by robin subar The North Suburban Medical Research Junior Board (NSMRJB) took over Fields Infiniti in Glencoe during a night filled with food, drink, auctions, and dancing, all in the name of raising funds for pediatric brain tumor research at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

Jamie Robin and Jamie Weiss served as the event co-chairs, and Courtney Fahn, Melanie Goodman, and Michelle Grossman all sit as board co-chairs. $100,000 was raised by the more than 400 in attendance, with the funds specifically going toward the work of Dr. Stewart Goldman and his team at Lurie Children’s Hospital. nsmrjb.org ■

Teens barely know about it ■ by

bob gariano

To understand today’s youth market, consider the world as it appears for students graduating from the likes of New Trier High School, Highland Park High School and Lake Forest High School.

This year’s high school graduates live in a world of extreme connectivity that was created during the years that they were infants. In 1991, CERN, a European organization investigating particle physics, publicized the World Wide Web project. Many technologists originally thought the Web might simply be a tool to help scientists coordinate their discoveries. But, building on almost two decades of application development, the CERN paper gave the

first public face to the Internet.

Two years later, the first GSM network was launched in Finland. This system provided a platform for digital cell phone and other wireless communications networks. These cellular technologies would allow developing countries to become part of the connected world without installing costly wired infrastructure. Digital cellular communications became a perfect compliment to Internet services. The result was auto-catalytic.

Spinoff technologies accelerated. In 1995, Ward Cunningham released the first wiki software, an application that allowed participants around the world to build real-time knowledge bases that leveraged expertise from a myriad of sources. In

that same year, Rasmus Lerdorf released the initial version of the scripting language PHP. PHP would become the primary computer language for the world’s web servers and the basis for router and network communications protocol over the Internet.

During the early 1990s other information science advances would catalyze this communications revolution. A startup computer company called Apple introduced the stylish iMac computer to compete with Microsoft and IBM. During the same period, the first digital cameras were introduced for consumer use. These would obsolete photochemical film, but more important, digital images were immediately recognized as perfectly suited for Internet transmission.

Simultaneously, commercial and military satellites would drive advances like the global positioning system and digital television. The pace of expansion was breathtaking. By 2000 more than half of the world’s developed countries would have Internet access and one third of the world’s population would have access to cell phone connections.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners saw the promise of this revolution in communications technology. In 1994, Amazon.com was incorporated by Jeff Bezos in Washington state. That year, Bezos set up the first Amazon business offices in a little rented two-bedroom house with extension cords running to the garage for power.

The startup used three Sun microstations

that were precariously placed on tables made from doors that the young business owner had purchased at Home Depot.

Nevertheless, the book retailer ordering system worked flawlessly the first time it was put into operation.

Early the next year Amazon sold its first volume, an arcane little book about computer modeling. That was 17 years ago.

This last quarter, Amazon announced annual revenues of over $50 billion with operating cash flow of more than $3 billion. The retail landscape has forever been changed. When Bezos was asked recently whether his customers miss going to a store to shop in person he said in his typically understated manner, ”I don’t know about you, but most of my interactions with cashiers are not that meaningful.”

This year’s high school graduates may not want to stand in line to pay a cashier either. The last two decades of technical advances have created different ideas of quality service and customer responsiveness. The prosperous businesses of the next decade will be those that capture the promise of these new advances in a way that offers their customers less expensive and better transactions in all of their interactions. Contemporary customers who have grown up in the last two decades do not know any other way.

Winger Marketing clients get masterpiece treatment from Raphael ■ by

angelika labno

It is not often that a fire department calls with good news, but when Karolyn Raphael’s phone rang on the morning of Jan. 7, it was a joyous occasion.

It meant that her office officially passed inspection with the Highland Park Fire Department, marking a new home for her full-service public relations and communications firm, Winger Marketing.

As the majority of Winger’s business is on the North Shore, it only made sense to open a satellite office in Highland Park, which also doubles as a commute convenience for the Northbrook resident.

“Having the physical presence on the North Shore is going to be really important to our clients, and it will create lots of opportunities to dig into what’s happening on the North Shore,” said Raphael. “The office is next door to Billy Corgan’s tea house, so it’s been fun to hang out over there and soak up the creative energy at Zuzu’s.”

Starting as an account executive in 1997, Raphael quickly ascended the ladder at Winger Marketing. The choice to appoint her president of the company in 2006 seemed like a natural one: Raphael holds nearly 20 years of experience in media and communications. Starting as a lead radio producer at her alma mater, Indiana University, Raphael moved onto working on direct marketing campaigns for GDMI with national brands. Under her leadership, Winger received several

Communicator Awards, Hermes Creative Awards, and the 2008 Bulldog Award for Excellence in Media Relations.

During her time at Winger Marketing, Raphael has effectively taken clients to national recognition. She landed a client the cover of Chicago Magazine’s Top Doctors medical issue two years in a row.

Other clients have appeared in Parenting Magazine and Modern Healthcare. Winger has even worked with national celebrities as spokespeople for clients.

A memorable project was working with Nigel Marven from Animal Planet, who was a spokesperson for a reptile association.

Winger sealed a spot for him to appear on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.”

During the set, a snake bit Marven, which in turn generated a lot of publicity for the association.

“We’ve developed wonderful relationships with people in the media,” said Raphael.

“When an editor leaves a publication and goes to another, we’re one of the first on the list to know.”

Winger Marketing distinguishes itself in one major way. In a field where clients stay with a communications firm for as little as a few weeks, Winger has managed to maintain clients for years at a time; some clients have been with Winger for nearly the entire existence of the firm, which goes back to 1984.

“The fact that we remain fresh and are creative enough to sustain marketing plans for companies for more than 20 years is sort of unprecedented,” said Raphael.

Members of the Winger Marketing Firm get together at the company’s new Ravinia offices. From left: Stefanie Stein, Michelle Fischgrund, Karolyn Raphael and Leslie Randolph.

Kate Beckering, senior director of auxiliaries and events for NorthShore Foundation at NorthShore University HealthSystem, has worked with Raphael organizing and promoting the expo.

“They really bring a great level of enthusiasm to all of our projects and offer good, creative ideas,” said Beckering.

Winger provides integrative marketing

for many businesses on the North Shore, including major healthcare organizations, arts organizations, non-profits and real estate. Information can be found at www. wingermarketing.com.

“We enjoy the sense of community,” said Raphael of the North Shore. “Whether it’s raising money for breast cancer research or a fundraiser that provides services to the community, all of that is part of giving back and doing work that’s meaningful.” ■

Dynek sisters are two of the ‘name’ players on New Trier hockey team ■ by

bill mclean

Ralph and Julie Dynek of Northfield named their sons Clark, Addison and Sheffield.

Their oldest daughter’s full name is Grace Waveland Dynek. Her little sister’s given name is Ivy Marie Wrigley Dynek, but she likes to go by Ivy. Get the feeling Ralph and Julie might be Chicago Cubs fans?

“We were kind of a famous family in 2003,” Grace said of the year the Cubs almost made it to the World Series for the first time since 1945 and broadcast outlets spotlighted

the family’s unique names. “Pretty much every street near Wrigley Field is a part of our names.”

Grace is a senior at New Trier High School, two years older than Ivy. But for years each sister has been making a name for herself in hockey, not baseball. They’re slapping shots past goaltenders, not singles past infielders. Ivy, a forward, was leading the Trevians’ girls varsity in goals (17, including two game winners) and total points (25) through 14 Metro League games for first-place New Trier (12-0-2).

Grace Dynek, also a forward, had five goals and seven assists.

Both are fast skaters.

Before this winter both played full-time for elite Chicago Young American teams and had never skated together for the same team.

Something else greased Grace’s decision to come out for

New Trier’s Grace Dynek (left) and her sister, Ivy, wait to take the ice during Saturday’s showdown against Loyola Academy.

home runs on ice

New Trier’s squad in her final winter at the school.

“When New Trier won last year’s state championship (at the United Center), I knew I wanted the chance to be a part of a team like that before graduating,” she admitted after NT (18-1-3 overall) tied Loyolaw Academy 1-1 at Heartland Ice Arena in Lincolnwood on Jan. 12.

Grace, who is interested in playing Division-III hockey, likes to set up her teammates, while Ivy has a nose for the goal.

“They do play well together,” NT coach Nelson Forsberg — now that’s a hockey name — said after last weekend’s stalemate with LA. “It appears one is always knowing what the other is doing and thinking on the ice.”

The sisters continue to glide and shoot for their CYA teams this winter, and both are thrilled they also get to don NT’s colors and play together in front of their baseball-loving parents.

“In CYA,” Grace said, “players are from all over Illinois.

I like representing our school and getting into the school spirit. It’s cool, the spirit.”

Their competitive spirit on the ice sometimes takes over and results in somewhat feisty encounters.

“In games I’ll nudge Grace at times,” Ivy said. “But those are love taps.”

“Pure love,” added Grace.

Off the ice, Grace throws herself into artwork. Her little sis has even posed for big sister’s drawings. Ivy plunged for NT’s JV diving crew last fall.

Each is the other’s biggest fan.

“Grace is amazing as an artist,” Ivy said.

Grace noted Ivy’s nickname is “Sleek,” in part because she’s smooth off the boards.

“And she’s clean, very clean, in a lot of ways,” Grace said.

But Ivy Dynek didn’t mind getting dirty as a hustling baseball player back in the spring and summer of 2009, when Ralph Dynek coached his youngest daughter and many other girls in a house league — a boys house league.

Only a handful of boys played on Ivy’s team, which was about 80 percent female.

“I had a lot of fun playing baseball,” Ivy recalled. “We got a donut for every hit.”

But Ralph Dynek’s ball club wouldn’t be fully satisfied until after the house league’s World Series that year.

The one it won.

Notable: NT junior goaltender Nicole Diesing’s had a 93 save percentage and a 0.69 goals-against average after 14 Metro League games … Trevians senior forward Carolyn Hickey ranked second among teammates in goals (11) and senior forward Sheila McCain ranked second in assists (9). … Three of NT senior forward Claire McCain’s first six goals this winter were game winners. … Trevians sophomore center Rebecca Lindblad had a team-high 10 assists after 14 Metro contests, when the team outscored its opponents 80-14. ■

The Giants, ran out to a 23-5 first-quarter lead, were paced by Norcia (13 points, four three-pointers, three assists), Sachs (12 points, eight assists), Brandon Krawitz (12 points, six rebounds) and Sam Shrago (seven points, six rebounds).

Highland Park’s Brandon Krawitz drives to the bucket during action at Maine West on Jan. 11.

Sparked by Aaron Angel’s fast start — the 6-foot-9 senior center scored his team’s six points — the Trevians got back on track by downing host Buffalo Grove 65-56 on Jan. 12.

“Aaron had a size advantage, and he did a good job of posting up and sealing off,” said NT coach Scott Fricke. “And he was a difference on defense.”

Angel blocked three shots in the opening period.

He finished the game with eight points, four rebounds and four blocks.

Senior star Steven Cook led the Trevians (14-4) with 24 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. He was a perfect 10 for 10 at the foul line.

Reid Berman contributed with four points and seven assists, while Ricky Samuelson scored eight points.

“I was a little afraid of this game,” said Fricke, who watched his team drop a 47-45 overtime game to host Maine South on Jan. 11.

It was NT’s first loss in the CSL South. The Hawks also have just one loss.

“It’s a downer,” said Fricke. “A tough loss.”

Cook tallied 22 points. Junior guard Jordan Thomas had 10 points.

This is how you score points … with your coach.

Brandon Krawitz, a senior for the Highland Park High School boys basketball team, was dead-on at the foul line in the Giants’ 45-41 overtime win at Maine West (8-8) on Jan. 11.

The 6-foot-3 forward wasn’t fazed in the least, when his coach, Paul Harris, went against the book and “iced” him — calling a timeout in the middle of his two-shot foul attempt — with 13 seconds left in OT. “That didn’t effect me,” said Krawitz. “It gave me time to recuperate … to concentrate.”

Krawitz wound up hitting both ends of the two-shot foul to give the Giants a four-point cushion.

In the process, he made his coach look good.

“I’ve only done that (ice his own player) a handful of times,” said Harris. “I’m sure some parents and fans wondered about it. Everyone has an opinion. But sometimes you take your chances and go with your gut.

“Brandon hit the first one and that was huge,” the veteran coach added. “I wanted (the timeout) to set up my defense. We’re a young team. And I wanted to make sure that we were organized and on the same page.”

Krawitz wound up with 12 points to lead all scorers.

He went 4 for 4 from the foul line in the extra period.

“I didn’t feel pressure,” said Krawitz, who also nailed two three-pointers in this CSL North contest. “I just went through my routine.”

Krawitz also came up with a huge defensive play — forcing a turnover — in Maine West’s second-to-last possession in overtime.

“That was a big steal,” said Harris. “Brandon was in the right position. And he made a nice play on the ball.”

Harris also tipped his hat to the other Krawitz.

Jordan Krawitz, a 6-3 sophomore post player, came off the bench and had one of his best games of the season. He hit a key shot in overtime and wound up with nine points and four rebounds.

“I’m trying to get better every day,” said Krawitz.

“I’m going hard in practice.”

HP’s other two sophomores — starting guards David Sachs and Luke Norcia — also contributed to the win.

Sachs (nine points, four assists, two steals) hit three free throws in overtime. He also gave his team a little momentum just before halftime, when he made a steal down court and hit a three-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer. He also had a chance to win the game in regulation — but missed a free throw with 2.5 seconds on the clock.

Norcia (five points, five rebounds, two steals), meanwhile, made a critical three-pointer to tie the game, 33-33, with 3:31 left in the fourth quarter.

“The first game back from (winter) break is tough,”

Evan Boudreaux is making up for lost time.

The sophomore center, who missed five games with an ankle injury, came up with 22 points and seven rebounds in LF’s 59-44 win over host Lake Zurich on Jan. 11.

Boudreaux continued to be a force one night later for the Scouts (12-3, 4-2), when he scored a career-high 31 points in his team’s 86-59 win at Grant.

Senior Sam Downey also had a strong weekend. He finished with 21 points and seven rebounds against LZ and then added 12 points against Grant.

Ben Simpson reached double figures (11 points) against LZ, while sophomore guard Jack Traynor had a season-high 16 points at Grant. Carter Bass (nine points) and Cal Miller (nine points) also contributed in Saturday’s win.

Loyola

As usual, Jack Morrissey and James Clarke did their deal in the Ramblers’ 49-43 victory over host Mt. Carmel on Jan. 11.

Morrissey hit six threes and finished with a gamehigh 20 points. He was on fire in the first half, when the junior guard went 5 for 5 from the field for 14 points.

Clark finished the contest with 13 points.

The best supporting role? That goes to Griffin Boehm. The 6-foot-4 sophomore hit a key baseline jumper in the fourth quarter. He also led LA (11-5) with eight rebounds. ■

The rebound by Annie Keller in a girls basketball game last month against Carmel Catholic High School was as vicious as it was strong.

After coming down with the carom on Dec. 28 at the Warren Tournament in Gurnee, Lake Forest High School’s 5-foot-8 junior guard/forward secured the carom like a fullback protects a handoff on a 4thand-1 run up the middle.

She then crouched slightly and pointed her elbows due east and due west.

“We weren’t rebounding well as a team,” recalled Scouts senior guard Gabby Perino, a co-captain like Keller and Keller’s best friend. “We needed to see that, the way she grabbed that rebound.

“That’s one of Annie’s things,” she added.

Keller, a second-year varsity member, finished with nine boards to go with 17 points and five steals in a 49-39 loss to the eventual tournament champion Corsairs. But she would have traded those impressive numbers for a ‘W’ in a heartbeat.

“Annie is the heart of our team — easily the heart of our team,” Perino said of the Scouts’ undersized post player with the extra-large rebounds-per-game average (nearly 10). “She’s all emotion and passion when she plays basketball.”

She’s all ears and kindness off the court. As soon as she finds out a good friend is in distress and needs to hear a friendly voice, Keller dials up the one who’s in pieces.

“We talk. We talk about everything,” Perino said.

“I love talking with her because I’ve never met anyone like Annie. I considered her sassy — almost too sassy — when I first met her (on a basketball court two-plus years ago). But it didn’t take us long to click; we get each other.

“The best advice she’s given me is, ‘Be happy with who you are.’ ” LF girls hoops coach Kyle Wilhelm has been particularly happy this winter. His club (6-15) surpassed the Scouts’ win total (4) last winter when it edged Niles North 26-25 at the Warren Tourney Dec. 27 and notched win No. 6 when it topped visiting Round Lake 55-49 on Jan. 10.

Keller’s 14 rebounds and Perino’s 16 points paced the Scouts in the latter contest.

“Annie,” Wilhelm said, “is one of our driving forces and has that refuse-to-lose mentality. If we need a big stop, a big rebound, a big basket, she’s usually there for us.”

Keller averaged nine points and seven rebounds last year, when LF needed her to be primarily a post presence. She’s having an impact from the inside and outside this year and has added moves to her left in the paint.

“We talked in the offseason how important it would be for her to develop a counter move to her hard move to the right,” Wilhelm said.

After one of her new moves in the middle of a lane led to a basket in a game against Warren on Dec. 7, Keller looked directly at Wilhelm while getting back on defense and pointed to him.

“That made me smile and clap my hands,” Wilhelm recalled. “Annie has a great sense of humor and she knows when to joke around. But she also knows when it’s time to set a serious tone.”

Keller downplayed her monster game — 19 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and five steals — in LF’s 45-37 defeat of Deerfield on Dec. 20. How her team played against the Warriors gave her a lift.

“That was a fun game,” said Keller, averaging 10.2 points per game. “Our offense played really well and everything was flowing. We passed well.

“My favorite part of this sport is the way it can flow at times. It can be physically taxing at times, but it’s the best when it’s face-paced and things are going our way.”

Keller repeated as an all-tournament pick at Warren last month. She struck for her seventh double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds) of the season in LF’s 43-40 loss to Palatine in the Scouts’ tournament finale on Dec. 29. Palatine was a 15-win squad.

“Annie is an aggressive rebounder and she has the ability to read missed shots well,” Wilhelm said.

“Her high basketball IQ also helps, along with her good instincts as an athlete.”

One of Keller’s goals for the Scouts this year was to help establish a clique-free team, not an easy quest given the Scouts’ varsity makeup is three seniors, five juniors and three sophomores.

The goal has been realized.

“I like to talk it up and motivate all of my teammates when I’m on the court,” said Keller, a middle blocker in volleyball. “Off the court one of my roles is to bring my teammates together by making sure everybody is part of the team’s conversations.”

Notable: Last week’s Round Lake-Lake Forest game doubled as Teacher Appreciation Night at LFHS. Each Scouts player picked a teacher who has inspired her and handed a rose and personal note to the teacher before the tip. ■

New Trier reaches dual-meet milestone — and wins Trevian Relays ■ by

bill mclean

A swimming coach’s mind never rests during the season, especially when the coach guides a program with a plethora of fourlimbed speed boats.

Like New Trier High School boys swimming coach Mark Onstott does.

“I’m from the ‘Bruce Woodbury School’ of making a lineup,” Onstott said last weekend, referring to the Hall of Fame coach who helmed 11 NTHS girls state championship teams. “If paper and pencils aren’t available, you always have your mind. My mind is always going, even at home, because of all the possibilities for our lineup.

“My wife knows the look I get when I’m thinking about our lineup. When she needs my attention, she likes to snap her fingers at me.”

Onstott had to come up with a makeshift Trevians lineup on Jan. 11, the eve of the 58th Annual Trevians Relays. Two of his snappy regulars, seniors Jack Mangan and David Schriesheim, would not be able to compete because of illness and injury, respectively.

NT sophomore Drew Keenan was originally slated to swim at a JV meet at St. Charles North Jan. 12.

He swam at the Trevian Relays instead.

“We were without two of our big leaders, in and out of the pool,” said NT senior Reed Malone, also a big leader. “But guys stepped up and came through for us.”

Keenan touched ninth in the 100-yard backstroke (56.2) for the varsity and swam on a pair of victorious JV relays. His time in the back, combined with teammate Tommy Jiang’s (seventh place, 55.77) in the same event, produced a runner-up aggregate of 1:51.97 – one of the team’s 14 top-two finishes at the 12-team invitational.

Onstott’s crew captured the title with 172 points, well ahead of runner-up Hinsdale Central (115.5).

NT junior Jae Park came through with the swim of the meet, clocking a meet-record 1:52.98 in the 200 IM. Down went former Trev Sam Metz’s mark of 1:54.56, set three years ago.

“Jae’s time in the event is our program’s fastest in-season (regular-season) time ever,” Onstott said.

That’s certainly saying something. NT’s program is 101 years old and it recorded its 900th dual win in school history at Evanston on Jan. 10.

NT senior captain Brian Walsh took fourth in the 200 IM (1:59.92) at the Trevian Relays. Coupled with Park’s effort, their combined time of 3:52.9 swamped the rest of the entrants.

Park’s first-place 58.18 and teammate Matt Weiser’s sixth-place 1:02.75 in the 100 breaststroke also netted first-place points. Among NT’s other gold medals Saturday came in the 200 free (Malone, first place, 1:41.51; Denver Freeman, fifth, 1:46.24); 100 butterfly (David Tao, third, 52.19; Walsh, fourth, 52.79); 100 free (Murphy McQuet, third, 48.86; John Dina, fourth, 49.1); and 500 free (Malone, second, 4:36.27; Freeman, fifth, 4:49.93.

Lake Forest high school

Scouts coach Cindy Dell felt she had to deliver an apology after the Trevian Relays.

But she had done nothing wrong.

Her boys — they had done something. They had done well at an elite meet for the second weekend in a row and temporarily left Dell speechless.

“I’m sorry,” Dells said after watching her squad finish third (111 points), a week after taking runner-up honors at the Evanston Invitational. “I’m at a loss for

words right now.”

She then gathered herself and spilled plenty of effusive reactions to feats by her boys, who won three events and earned four other top-three finishes.

“They’re working hard, never letting up and gaining such valuable experience.” Dell said.

LF senior co-captain Peter McCormick doesn’t get the headlines some of his teammates receive. But Dell noted McCormick’s unsung status Saturday and had no problem singing his praises.

“What a great leader, what a compassionate teammate,” she said. “He generally goes about his business and does things in the background for us.”

McCormick sped to a pair of personal-best times, going 57.18 in the 100 butterfly (11th) and 5:06.77 in the 500 free (14th). His 500 free time and classmate Peter Grumhaus’ first-place 4:35.04 in the event produced third-place points for the Scouts.

Grumhaus, Colin Rowe, Bogdan Balteanu and Daniel Smith collaborated for first-place finishes in the 200 medley (1:37.75) and 400 free (3:10.52) relays. The Scouts’ pair of 100 backstrokers — Smith and Michael LeMay — went fourth (54.22) and eighth (56.14), respectively, to win that event by 1:61. Rowe reigned in the 100 free with a 47.25.

Grumhaus (second, 1:41.58) and Smith (10th, 1:49.52) finished runners-up to New Trier’s Malone and Freeman in the 200 free.

LFHS senior Andrew Marsh continued to shine off the boards last weekend, capturing the title against a strong field at the Hinsdale Central Diving Invitational Jan. 12.

Loyola Academy

It’s only a matter of time before Ramblers start calling senior Jack Considine “Elmer.”

He’s been a Loyola “glue guy” for a couple of years, according to Ramblers coach Mike Hengelmann.

“He’s a teammate’s teammate and a guy with an incredible work ethic,” Hengelmann said after Considine swam legs on Loyola’s third-place 400 free relay (3:19.03) and fifthplace 200 medley relay (1:40.45) at Saturday’s Trevian Relays.

Loyola finished fifth (95 points) behind Considine and another strong meet from senior standout Andrew Jovanovic, who topped the 100-back field in 51.72, took second in the 200 IM (1:53.23) and joined Considine on those top-five relay units. Blake Morgan also swam legs on those relays; Ben Pasquesi raced on the 400 free unit, and Christopher Kearney anchored the 200 medley relay.

Morgan’s fifth-place 2:00.93 in the 200 IM and Jovanovic’s silver in the event produced runner-up points.

Highland Park

Ben Laedlein captured two golds at the St. Charles East College Events meet on Jan. 12, helping the Giants to a third-place finish (261 points) behind Metea Valley (443) and the host North Stars (322).

Laedlein took first in the 100 back (56.17) and 200 back (2:02.48).

Phillip Goldberg found the 1000 free to his liking, earning runner-up honors in 10:25.17.

He also placed fifth in the 200 free (1:57.56) and seventh in the 200 back (2:11.98).

Eddie Kochman picked up points in the 100 free (3rd, 52.38) and 50 free (6th, 23.39). Other key contributors included Jeremy Solomon (4th in 200 breast, 2:29.7; 6th in 100 breast, 1:07.60); Jack Tresley (4th in 200 fly, 2:20.24; 5th in 100 fly, 1:00.68); Joey Levy (5th in 200 fly, 2:21.42); Alex Grigorovich (6th in 200 free, 1:58.54); and David Robbins (5th in diving, 285.95). ■

THe North shore weekend

For Ellen & Nat Riverbend is their Downton Abbey

01/19 – 01/20/13

We usually leave town late on a Friday. We work so hard, so when we leave we like to go big. Nolan (5) and Aiden (3) stay at home.

We head north to Kohler. We like to stay at Riverbend on the Sheboygan River. It’s this beautiful old mansion where the Kohler family lived; now it’s a private club. The mansion has 31 rooms, and we prefer to stay at the carriage house with views of the river.

We get there around dinner time. You get a private butler, and he’s waiting at the door. There are beautiful couches and chairs by fireplaces. We like to curl up by the fireplace. Nat unwinds with a Scotch, and I have a

tea. The butler already knows what you want to drink.

You have a chef who will create anything you wish, from a burger to a sea bass.

On Saturday Nat will go tee off at Whistling Straits.

I go for a run along the river or go to yoga — have some quiet time to myself. I’ll pick up a book and have some silence and enjoy the beauty. We both get back around 3 and have some tea and light fare. You can sit on a patio adjacent to the gardens. It’s like Downton Abbey. We get a couple’s massage in the gardens.

On Saturday night we’ll go to dinner in the Immigrant Room (at the American Club). The atmosphere is really romantic. The food is something else. The Sashimi is fabulous. The Chilean sea bass is good. They have a chocolate and caramel crème brulee that is fantastic. After that dinner, we just fall asleep.

We like to get up slowly Sunday morning, knowing we’re heading back to the daily grind. We’ll have breakfast in the garden and a walk along the river. Before we leave, we’ll go in the indoor/outdoor pool. We’ve never seen anything like it. You start swimming indoors and go outside.

Everything there looks like it was dropped in 200 years ago and hasn’t changed. It’s such a great weekend. ■ Ellen and Nat Darnieder, as told to David Sweet
