North Shore is well represented North Shore movie theaters at bridge championships try to lure customers with lounge chairs, cocktails

or the 16th time, the North American Bridge Championships (NBAC) were contested in Chicago, this time at the Hilton Chicago Hotel on Michigan Avenue. Bridge players crammed the elevator lobby discussing conventions, sightings of famous players, activities they had enjoyed the previous day and recommendations for restaurants not to be missed. Thousands came from the world over. I traveled from Glenview to play against individuals from New Zealand, England, Bermuda, Pakistan, India, Russia, and Taiwan. Also, I played against many from the suburbs of Chicago who ventured down to dip their toes in the mystique which is a bridge tournament.

FIRST WORD
No need L to shout ‘we’re No. 1’ over this
ike tens of thousands of North Shore residents, I recently received that blue piece of paper saying what, according to a government body, my house is worth. Principally from that assessment, what I pay in 2016 toward property taxes is calculated. Who do I pay them to? It’s almost easier to ask whom I don’t. Fifteen government entities claim money — including six pension funds. It was eyeopening to find out the Forest Preserve even takes a bite for its retirees. Probably like that in every state, right? Not at all. According to a Reuters’ piece sent to me by an alert reader, Illinois’ 8,500 or so governmental units (of which more than 6,000 can raise taxes) is unequaled. Texas and Florida, with much higher populations, have nowhere near the same amount of governmental bodies. The same piece reports there is little to no over-

sight over most of these Illinois entities, and they are rife with duplication of services. Years ago, it was heartening to see candidates running for Shields Township offices who eliminated their own salaries after they were elected. The salary of the $52,000-a-year highway commissioner (who oversees about nine miles of roads) was chopped almost in half, and the supervisor’s pay declined from $70,000 to $30,000. The proponent of these moves, known as the Shields Township Active Reform Team, captured six of eight positions in the election following the dose of medicine, proving voters/taxpayers on even that tiny level were watching closely and approving of their moves. They helped cut the property taxes of residents in Lake Forest, Lake Bluff and Knollwood and, given that Illinois features the third-highest property taxes in the United States, even that
little bit of relief was appreciated. As far as I’ve seen, there’s been no outcry about services suffering. North Shore residents are fortunate that most city councilmen are not paid for their work (Highland Park is an exception). Lake Forest famously pays its mayor $10 a year — barely enough for two ice cream cones. But this area is a rarity in that regard. Everyone knows Illinois has become infamous for its runaway debt and pathetic credit ratings. Yet there’s plenty of room for improvement as well at the lower levels of government, the townships, counties and more, which are supposed to serve us — not the other way around. Enjoy the weekend.

when an artillery shell exploded near his foxhole and left him unconscious with a broken leg, broken knee, punctured lung and serious burns up and down the left side of his body. His injuries required six major surgeries and multiple hospital stays — yet he was the fortunate one. The two soldiers who had hunkered in the foxhole with him both died from their injuries. “It was very traumatic. It bothers me to this day,” said Irv, wiping a tear. He earned a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and other commendations for his service. After the war, he returned to his family’s home in Chicago’s Albany Park and started hanging out with a friend, also recently home from service. “The big thing in those days was house parties because kids didn’t have any money to go out on dates. They would get together for dancing to records at someone’s home,” he said. “I got invited to one of those parties and spotted Doris. And I immediately felt … it was just love at first sight. “This was 1945,” he added. “1946,” corrected Doris. “She was a beautiful lady, but more than anything else we started talking and I could see she was super intelligent,” Irv remembered. “It’s a chemistry that’s hard to explain.” And when Doris first saw Irv? Did she know she was going to marry him?

Some days the I/N room looked as though all the bridge buffs from the almost daily games held at Temple Jeremiah in Northfield, Winnetka Community House, or Patty Turner Center in Deerfield had come to compete. This room allowed competition against those with fewer than 300 points, and levels were stratified further to reflect fewer than 50, 50-99, and 100-299 points. A few I/N players won trophies when they ranked first in their events.

“I had a feeling about it. He was funny. He was interesting,” said Doris. “A real man of the world,” added Irv. They married 18 months later on a sweltering day in August 1947 with a big party at the Belden Stratford Hotel in Lincoln Park, followed by a honeymoon in New York City. Then it was back to Chicago. Doris graduated from Northwestern University, where she studied accounting. Irv worked a few jobs before settling down to a career at the family business, Friedman’s Auto Parts, located at Ashland and Fullerton Avenues in Chicago. They had three children – first Francine, then Janice, followed by a son, Lee. Doris stayed home with the kids for
in the beginning, but the people were kind and interesting and there was plenty of help when you needed it. By day four, I knew my way around and felt much more comfortable. If you missed this championship, you may have to wait 10 years to play in Chicago again, but in the meantime, plan to go to Denver for the fall national tournament in November. To learn or improve your bridge play, both Jeff and Ginny Schuett offer lessons. Ginny has series of lessons for beginners and for intermediates at Gorton Community Center in Lake Forest. Jeff teaches lessons for intermediates who play duplicate bridge at the Mallinkrodt Community Center in Wilmette that are on Mondays or Thursdays. Both teachers can be reached at jgschuett2@ comcast.net, by telephone at 847940-7236, and via cell at 847-3082393 ( Jeff ) or 847-308-2396 (Ginny) for further information.
“There is always something to talk about at the end of the day, always something interesting to share.” –Irving Abramson
15 years until Lee was nine years old, then she joined Irv at the family business, working as comptroller. “She ran the inside of the business and I ran the outside with sales and expansion,” said Irv. By 1984 they were fully retired and it was time for their next chapters, decades richly filled with volunteer commitments, time with friends and family … and travel. They agreed that being interested in things outside of work and family has helped them stay interested in each other in their marriage. “There is always something to talk about at the end of the day, always something interesting to share,” said Irv. Doris is an active volunteer at St. Francis Hospital; Irv volunteers with Honor Flight Chicago, a service for World War II veterans, and he serves on the Village of Skokie’s Consumers Affairs Commission. They both love music, theatre, dining out and attending sports events. But, of course, not everything’s perfect. “We’re outliving our friends, and it’s sad,” said Doris. “But we treasure the friends we have left all the more,” added Irv. “You start to think about your own mortality, which are not happy thoughts, but they’re inevitable. I’m sorry it has to come to an end, but you can’t escape that,” he said. “You can’t avoid it,” agreed Doris.

Organization B is dedicated to helping youngsters thrive
ased at the Great Lakes Naval Station, Lieutenant Commander Michael Keppen and retired Navy SEAL Steven L. Childress have created a non-profit organization called Thrive Project for America. The foundation offers a course to educate and empower youths to reach their full potential by building their character and selfesteem through 12-week programs. This mindset development training provides young people the tools to be successful, regardless of their career ambitions. “We build the foundation,” Keppen says, “Choice, commitment, confidence, and selfleadership all play a role.” Childress is the former Program Manager for the Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School (NSWPS) whose ideas are the genesis of the new foundation. The NSWPS course prepares sailors at the Great Lakes Naval Station for advanced military courses like Navy SEAL training. The Navy started NSWPS in 2008 when it saw the need to prepare recruits to meet the challenges of these advanced courses. Today, Childress continues his teaching as a civilian contractor who instructs the Special Warfare and Special Operator candidates how to prepare mentally for the challenging programs that lay ahead. “What makes SEAL team

members successful is less about the physical and more about the intellectual and emotional preparation for the rigors of the program,” Childress says. “We know that all of these students can physically complete training, but many don’t believe it.” Adds Keppen, “Steve and I know that the lessons that we are teaching here in Great Lakes could be useful to young people outside the military, especially those who had not learned these lessons of confidence and competence at home or in their neighborhoods. “The training is not physical. It involves character development. We call it mindset development. We teach young people how to be successful in whatever field they want to pursue.” Keppen is an unassuming and polite young officer who is serving his 13th year on active duty. As a Naval Flight Officer and Mission Commander, Keppen led multiple combat aircrews on deployments around the globe. The large flight crews on these aircraft, often operating in combat or other dangerous geographies, taught him unflappable leadership and teamwork. He transitioned into the Navy’s Human Resources (HR) community in 2011 and was recently selected as the Navy’s HR Junior Officer of the Year. Childress is a former SEAL Team sniper and communications expert who spent over 20
years in the Navy. An avid runner and physical fitness advocate, he said that boot camp is a microcosm of society. “It is not the strongest or toughest guys who excel, but the ones with the character and tenacity, the teamwork and self-esteem who succeed. Our courses help young people develop these same skills.” The two make an interesting team. Keppen impresses as the kind of person you would want keeping the books in your family business. Childress, no less polite and modest, impresses as the person you would want walking in front of you down a dark alley at night. Both men are committed to helping young people achieve excellence. Thrive Project for America has already started to receive support from business people in North Shore communities. Adam Mancuso, 37, who with his family runs Lake Forest Sports Cars, serves as vice president of the foundation. “I am always impressed how personal achievement is a byproduct of character development. Businesses are built on the character, ethics, and the tenacity of the people running them,” he says. More information can be found at thrivepa.org.

love & marriage
Is there I really a way to divorceproof a marriage?
Joanna Brown
n those six summer weeks I spent observing my son’s swim lessons, I caught up on the Hollywood news. Divorce seemed to be the common thread among the headlines. Most every branch of celebrity (movies, music, modeling) reported that a superstar’s marriage had ended. There was actors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck splitting after 10 years, country music legend Reba McEntire and manager Narvel Blackstock divorcing after 26 years together, actor Brian Austin Green and model/ actress Megan Fox ending a fiveyear marriage, country music stars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert stopping their nine-year relationship, and rockers Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale terminating their 13-year marriage. I know that Hollywood is a long way from my home, but reading as many articles about divorce as I did during my summer at the Park District pool inevitably got me thinking about how my marriage is different from any of theirs. I, like Jennifer, am a working mom, married to a working man, struggling to balance the various demands on my time. My marriage can’t always come first either. So how can I be so confident in the success of my marriage when divorce seems so prevalent in their community? I’m still not sure, but I found an interesting article online: “10 Things I Do Every Single Day To Divorce-Proof My Marriage.” Yourtango.com, a media company

is worth the effort every day – even when I’ve been up late with my infant daughter. But her title is arrogant, and it may prove to be Brusie’s Achilles heel. By definition, an Achilles heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength, and the assumption that a few text messages and a hug make their union as sure as death and taxes is foolish. I applaud her for reminding me to put more effort into my marriage than I do my makeup, but I caution her, too. External stressors — money matters, illness, changing priorities — can be as accurate as the mythical Paris with his bow and push good people apart.

Growing up, he was bombarded with the substantial, ample meals of a Sicilian family, described by Salerno as “heavy, heavy, filling food.” His family lived above his grandfather’s German bakery in Castle Hill. When Salerno was a young boy, he would sneak downstairs to steal jelly donuts and marvel at his grandfather — who would still be working at 2 a.m. When he was old enough, he started washing sheet pans. That turned him on to a life in the kitchen. “They had that way of raising Chef Dean Salerno you to understand what it’s like By Simon Murray

to have a job, what it is to work, to have respect for yourself, for others—to put out a product and stand behind what you do,” says Salerno. Following a string of successful New York City restaurants, Salerno relocated to Chicago and established Firefly Events and Catering, of which Firefly Kitchen is an offshoot. In opening Firefly Kitchen, Salerno is able to showcase his favorite seasonal comfort dishes that include classic French, creative American, and Pan-Asian cuisines — one of which is the truffle mushroom risotto. “It’s something that people don’t know how to really cook,” says Salerno, “and it’s not the hardest thing in the world, it’s just to the point where you get the risotto to that crispy but not mushy, not overcooked or undercooked.” Salerno adds mascarpone cheese to his dish but says people can substitute cream cheese to get that just-right creamy taste. “It’s a constant time process of adding liquid slowly and allowing it to absorb, and finishing with whatever the person chooses to stick in,” he says, adding, “One more cup of water or mushroom stock — game over.” Firefly Kitchen is located at 111 Green Bay Rd. in Wilmette.

North Shorts Musings by Mike Lubow
“O
h, that person again.” If you’ve lived on the North Shore for a while, you find yourself saying those words every so often. You say them privately to yourself. But you do say them. Like: there’s the tall, bald guy who could be a clone of your longgone Uncle Al. You’ve seen him jogging, walking his dog, pumping gas. You don’t know him, and you never will. But you remember him when you see him. “Oh yeah, that guy.” Then there’s the woman in
town who stands out from the crowd. She’s popped up here and there over the years and has even changed slightly, a kind of timelapse effect. But you say to yourself, “Yep, her again.” You haven’t met these strangers. Never talked to them. You don’t know what they do or where they live. You’ve simply grown to accept them as familiar sightings, recurring human landmarks on the North Shore. When you see the tall guy or the woman who stands out, maybe today in a store or next week in a restaurant, even next
month in a theater, you’ll just accept it as another fact of living where you live and think nothing more about it. After all, the North Shore is like a small town. It’s not surprising that you’ll spot certain people who, unknown to them, have stuck in your memory for your own inscrutable reasons. But just the other day a disconcerting thought hit: Hey, there might be people you don’t know who are noticing you. They might be saying to themselves, “I’ve seen that face around here for years.” And you’d never know.

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

Van (Zelst) slam
Loyola Academy senior outside hitter thwacks kills in grandiose fashion BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
O
livia Van Zelst elevates to near the flight of a volleyball above a net. The volleyball is floating. If volleyballs were capable of wincing, this one would wince. Hard. Van Zelst, a 5-foot-11 outside hitter and Loyola Academy senior, swings at the defenseless ball. The ball hurtles south in a hurry, avoiding brave blockers on the other side of the net and bruising a spot on the hardwood, also defenseless. Smack! Thud! Volleyball music, violent and resounding, produced by a batonless conductor from Glenview. Brava, Miss Van Zelst. “The velocity Olivia puts on the ball … it’s hard to come by,” Ramblers coach Mark Chang says. LA, fourth in the Class 4A state tournament last fall, raced out to a 7-1 start this season. Much of the early success can be attributed to Van Zelst’s fearlessness and frontrow power. Van Zelst, a Wildcat Juniors Volleyball Club player for five years, ranked second among teammates in kills last year to current senior outside hitter Christina Reed, a 6-2 Rambler, the tallest Rambler. Van Zelst struck a combined eight kills, to go with her 12 digs, in LA’s two state matches at Redbird Arena in Normal last November. “Olivia is a fantastic player, and she’s one of my best friends,” LA senior middle Kate Pillion, also from Glenview, says. “We work out together, practice together on our team’s off days. She’s such a great teammate. She gets as excited about one of her kills as she gets about a kill from one of her teammates.” Van Zelst, an Our Lady of Perpetual Help School graduate, made a decision not too long ago. It was a big one. It excited her entire family. She verbally committed to play volleyball at Purdue University, after having received offers from several other Division I schools. Her parents, Dave and Cindy, started their courtship on the Purdue campus in West Lafayette, Indiana. Her sisters, Christina (a Glenbrook South High School graduate) and Danielle (a Loyola Academy graduate), are Purdue students. Her little brother, three-
sport athlete Nate (football basketball, baseball), should garner the attention of Purdue football coaches any day now. Nate Van Zelst has kicked a 45-yard field goal. It’s (Boiler) up … it’s good! Nate Van Zelst is … 12 years old. “I love the coaches at Purdue, and it’s a hard-working team,” Olivia says. (Olivia turned 17 on Aug. 31. A Purdue assistant volleyball coach called Van Zelst on that date to wish her a happy birthday.) “I was in fourth grade when I first saw my sisters play volleyball. I could relate well to Danielle, an outside hitter (Christina served Titans teams as a setter).” Purdue volleyball coaches won’t have to worry about Van Zelst’s work ethic. It’s a lot like her volleyball game: sturdy, steady, admirable. Chang singles it out, lauds it. Loud kills in matches are nice, but it takes hours and hours of diligence in practices — year after year, at the prep and club levels — to nail down the timing of an ideal attack. Set goes up. Van Zelst goes up. Van Zelst hammers ball. Ball damages floor. Sounds of another post-kill celebration overwhelm echo of another kill. “Her work ethic has enabled her to play at a high level,” Chang says. “It also motivates her teammates to focus on their work ethic. Olivia means a lot to our team, a whole lot, and she’s one of our most important sources of energy and one of the reasons for our success. “She’s quiet, yet she’s a big-time player for us,” he adds. “Big-time.” Van Zelst helped LA’s Ramblers finish runner-up to the host school at the New Trier High School Tournament Sept. 4-5. Chang’s crew went 3-0 in pool play on Sept. 4, defeating Huntley, Niles North and Waukegan high schools in straight sets. None of the opponents got closer than 25-17 in any of the six sets. Loyola then downed Glenbrook South 25-11, 25-10 in a first-place bracket semifinal on Sept. 5, before absorbing its first loss of the season. NT’s Trevians (5-2) defeated LA 25-22, 25-19 in the title match. “Her competitiveness … it’s the O, YES: Olivia Van Zelst of the Ramblers delivers a jump serve during earlier this season. LA is off to a 7-1 first thing I think of when I think start. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOEL LERNER
of Olivia,” Chang says. “She’s plays with intensity, with authority.” She surfs, too. Van Zelst, along with her family members, has taken on waves during several watery outings. Hawaii was one of her bases. She gets on a board, battles. Do waves wince? She loved every second of each outing, a Surf ’s up! fan capable of putting down kill after kill after kill against dry volleyball players. Her favorite ocean? “Any ocean,” she says. Nothing daunts Olivia Van Zelst. Nothing. Notable: Loyola’s pool-play scores on the first day of last weekend’s New Trier Tournament: vs. Huntley, 25-16, 25-14; vs. Niles North, 25-14, 25-17; vs. Waukegan, 25-12, 25-6. … Olivia Van Zelst pounded a team-high eight kills, and senior libero/ defensive specialist Lauren Stadler paced the Ramblers in digs (15) in a 25-13, 25-20 defeat of Prospect High School on Aug. 27. “Outstanding,” Chang noted after his squad’s second match of 2015. … LA opened the season with a 23-13, 23-13 defeat of Highland Park High School on Aug. 25, getting eight kills and an ace from senior right side hitter Melanie Fyda. … Fyda provided seven kills and three aces in Loyola’s 25-12, 25-23 win over Glenbrook South on Aug. 31. Senior setter Katie Randolph dished 18 assists. … Randolph and senior outside hitters Christina Reed and Grace Kennedy are serving as tricaptains this fall. … Loyola Academy’s fourth-place finish at state last year was the best in program history. LA finished with a record of 27-11. A Ramblers girls volleyball team had not captured a sectional championship before 2014. Reed amassed 10 kills, 13 digs and 11 service points in a 21-25, 25-22, 25-11 state semifinal loss to Libertyville High School (35-6). … LA’s girls volleyball team attended a Purdue University team camp in the summer and went undefeated at a summer league tournament held at Energy Volleyball Club in Niles.

Fits to a … D
Moskowitz delivers gobs of leadership and defensive prowess for NT soccer team BY DAN SHALIN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
N
ew Trier High School senior defender Jacob Moskowitz made an almost seamless transition on and off the field when he arrived from San Francisco in the summer of 2014. Moskowitz was a key contributor on the Trevians’ 2014 squad, which went 21-4-2 and reached the Class 3A Supersectional, and he quickly gained the respect of teammates, so much so that he was named co-captain this season. However, late in his junior campaign, Moskowitz did show one minor adjustment problem — to the weather. “Brutal,” said Moskowitz, who had spent his entire life in the Bay Area. “Toward the end of last season, I ordered some leggings and tried to wear them to practice one day. (Head coach Wes) Molyneaux was having none of it … .” If Moskowitz was made uncomfortable by the weather, it wasn’t reflected in his play. Early this season, the 5-foot11 defender has been playing with his left leg heavily wrapped, but this is the result of a dislocated kneecap suffered early in the summer while on duty for his club team Chicago Magic PSG. The injury required surgery to remove cartilage and took two months to rehab. Moskowitz missed the rest of the summer with the Magic, which captured a U17 national title. But when the high school season began last month, Moskowitz was in uniform for New Trier, forming a central defensive pairing with junior Cameron Zwick. The Trevians (who entered the week with a 2-1-3 record) have had mixed results thus far, not surprising given they are the least experienced team in Molyneaux’s 11 years in the program. The coach, in his third year in charge, said the defense has been a strong point and that Moskowitz has been a major factor. “We’re young, and it’s good having that senior center back
League team, it worked out really well. I think our Santos team was ranked 50th in the nation at one point.” Moskowitz added: “I made some of the best friends I’ve ever had with kids who played in the Mission. You think they are hard-nosed kids. Then you meet them, and they are so nice, jokesters off the field, who will fight for you on the field. We were like a family by the end of the season.” Moskowitz, who said the experience also has helped him in Spanish class, said he keeps in touch with his San Francisco friends via Snapchat and Instagram, and that dozens of former teammates have joined him for barbecues during his visits back to California. Next season, Moskowitz plans to continue his soccer career in college, and he said Division III Carnegie Mellon University currently is in the lead for his services. Moskowitz said he hopes to study architecture at the Pittsburgh school. Carnegie Mellon head coach Brandon Bowman has told Moskowitz he is interested in deploying him as a defensive midfielder. No word, though, on whether Bowman allows his players to wear leggings when it gets chilly.

leadership (of Moskowitz),” Molyneaux said. “Defensively, we’re playing well. I’ve been happy with our back line. It’s been solid. It’s a lot of (Moskowitz’s) leadership, with Jacob and the other (defenders) working together to form a partnership” Moskowitz said he’s tried hard to guide the newcomers, recalling what it felt like to be in their shoes 12 months ago. “I remember coming in as a junior and not knowing anyone,” he said. “We played Schaumburg in our first game last year, and
went down 2-0 early. Our captains had a big halftime speech and we came back and won. “I remember that being the most intense game, and I didn’t even play. So, the kids with no experience at the varsity level, they need some help for the first few games.” Molyneaux said Moskowitz’s game features a blend of defensive prowess and technical ability, and that he has the right mindset to be a team captain, a duty he shares with senior forward Michael Gallo.
“He makes big stops and is comfortable with the ball at his feet,” the coach said. “He’s played in a lot of big games at New Trier, before he transferred and at the club level, and with that experience and emotional control, he’s one of our calmest and coolest players under pressure.” Some of Moskowitz’s soccer development no doubt is the result of his playing in the culturally diverse Santos Academy, which his father, Mike, helped form in San Francisco.
According to Jacob, the city’s youth soccer players were split between the pay-for-play Vikings soccer program and the Mission League, in the city’s historically Hispanic neighborhood. Santos successfully brought together kids from both areas, giving Moskowitz an education on and off the pitch. “The Mission kids were skilled and strong players, and we had always looked forward to playing against them,” Moskowitz said. “When we merged our team with the Mission
Notable: The host Trevians finished strong in the Northside College Showcase. After going 0-1-2 in group play, they topped Niles West 5-1 on Sept. 4 in the tourney finale. Will Felito tallied two goals, while Michael McCue had a goal and two assists. Michael Gallo and Jacob Moskowitz also scored, while JoJo Farina and Danny Ladik were credited with assists. … Prior to the tourney, NT claimed a 5-1 victory over Fremd on Aug. 27. Ameen Salako came up with a hat trick. Ryan Krueger had two goals and one assists. … Two talented seniors — Spencer Farina and Bradley Nassar — elected not to come out for the team. They instead are playing club soccer this fall.

Young & relentless Standout setter brings her traveling show to Highland Park
BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
E
mma Young has lost track of the times her family has moved. Five times? Six? Seven? It is one of those three numbers. Young was a volleyball setter at Western Branch High School (Virginia), home of the Bruins, at this time last year. She lived in Maryland twice before that stop. She called Italy home for a spell. Young resided and went to school in North Carolina for a while. The daughter of a Navy commander, she is now a junior setter at Highland Park High School, home of the Giants. She has had to open and fill a suitcase about as often as she has had to open wide for a dentist. “You cope. You adapt,” Young, shrugging slightly, says of her go-to survival tactics after each change of zip code or continent. Highland Park volleyball coach Beth Peterson first heard about the transfer from Virginia Beach, via an email, in late July. She asked outside hitter/middle blocker Mattie Giese, a seniorto-be at the time, to give Young a call, to help Young handle another transition. They hit it off, HP’s established hitter/blocker and HP’s future assist provider. Young met the rest of the varsity Giants at summer league volleyball sessions. “That had to be tough and sad for her, moving to a new school before the start of her junior year,” the 5-foot-11 Giese says. “All the friends she had made, in her first two years of high school, and then having to leave them … tough. But Emma is adjusting well here. She’s positive, never negative, always hustling, always bringing her teammates up when they’re down.”
Young, a right-side hitter when freshman and part-time rightside hitter Allyson Gordon assumes setter duties, lofted 12 assists in Highland Park’s first victory of the season on Aug. 29, a 25-15, 25-18 defeat of Rockford Auburn High School at the Lake County Invitational at Warren Township High School. A setter’s No. 1 priority is to make sure she knows what her hitters like. Different sets (height and speed variations) for different front row players. It takes time to figure out your teammates’ strengths and preferences. It takes patience. Young, a third-year varsity player but a Giants rookie, has had to size things up quickly and figure things out, sometimes on the fly. On the court, off the court. College is right around the corner for her, and so is her first mid-term exam at her new school. She copes. She adapts. “Emma,” Peterson says, “wants to connect with her hitters, every one. She knows that, knows how important that is. I didn’t have to tell her that. She has a good work ethic, she’s hard on herself, and she’s focused. Here’s the thing with Emma … she’s here with a fresh perspective, and she’s been a solid setter for a young team with two freshmen [Gordon and middle blocker/right-side hitter Ireland Hieb] and a sophomore [outside hitter Miranda Mottlowitz]. Only two seniors are consistently on the court for us.” Young started playing volleyball in the sixth grade. It was love at first spike. The job of setting, of running the show in matches, interested her, intrigued her. Challenged her. Young would have no problem choosing the position she’d play if a volleyball
coach ever insisted members of the team don a helmet and a set of pads and get acquainted with a brown, oblong ball. “I enjoy being the ‘quarterback’ of a volleyball team,” Young says. “I like to be in control on a court. Setting is all about getting the ball to where it needs to be for your team to be successful. I love the sport, love the competition, and I would love the opportunity to play volleyball at a Division I or II college.” Young plans to vie for a spot on a Crystal Lakebased Sky High Volleyball Club team in the offseason. Her favorite athlete is Kerri Walsh Jennings, 37, a threetime Olympic gold medalist in beach volleyball. Young has not just marveled at Jennings’ world-class abilities atop sandy surfaces. Young has also admired the decorated American athlete for what she does in shoes, on everyday surfaces, at places with room temperatures. There’s more to life than bumps and aces and pancakes (digs that glance off the back of an outstretched hand) under the sun. “Kerri is a great mom, an amazing role Hand ball: Junior Emma Young, a transfer from Virginia, keeps the ball alive during earlier action this season for the Highland Park Giants.

The Giants fell to Mundelein High School in three sets and beat Rockford Auburn in straight sets. Junior middle blocker Jocelyn Spizman (9 kills) and senior Mattie Giese (5) paced HP’s attack in the victor y. HP junior libero C a r l y Nanberg finished with a teamhigh 11 digs, and f reshman Ireland Hieb smacked a team-best three aces. “I’m disappointed in the results but not in the way m o d e l , ” we competed,” Giants coach Beth Young says.

His three-yard score with 38 seconds left was the difference in this nonconference battle at Wolters Field. Penick now has accumulated 591 yards of rushing in two games. He also has six rushing TDs.

Rout n’ roll Clifford, Ramblers are rocking good in smashing win over Maine South BY T.J. BROWn, sports@northshoreweekend.com
I
t took Emmett Clifford a few weeks to earn the job of starting quarterback at Loyola Academy last season. After coming in off the bench to lead the Ramblers on comebacks against Edwardsville and Providence, coach John Holecek made the then-junior Clifford the starter for Loyola’s matchup with DePaul College Prep at Gately Stadium. But Clifford broke his collarbone, ending his season. Clifford has the starting QB job again this year, and if he stays healthy he figures to be in the nightmares of offensive coordinators throughout the Chicago Catholic League. The coaching staff at Brother Rice — the Crusaders (2-0) visit LA’s Ramblers on Sept. 12 (1:30 p.m.) — must have had some restless nights looking at film of Clifford running the Ramblers’ offense on Sept. 4 in a 49-8 win at Maine South. Clifford completed 17 of 21 passes for 301 yards and four
touchdowns before giving way to backup Jake Marmede in the second half with the Ramblers up 42-8 and a running clock already invoked. “I think we’ve been clicking the last two weeks, but this was against a big-time team, so it felt pretty good,” Clifford said. Loyola (2-0) enjoyed such an offensive outburst despite losing running back Jack Loper to an elbow injury on the first play from scrimmage. The Ramblers turned to their passing game. While the Hawks (0-2) were able to limit Northwestern recruit Eric Eshoo to just two catches, they were helpless stopping wide receiver Thomas Smart, one of the area’s top high school third basemen. Smart, a Wilmette resident, has gone from manning the hot corner to burning corners man-on-man, catching 11 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns against the Hawks. Clifford also connected three
times for 32 yards and two touchdowns to wide receiver Robert Sullivan, who lines up opposite Smart. “We’re able to make them pay, because they crowd the middle a lot,” Clifford said. “We’re able to go to two unbelievable receivers outside, and hopefully that can open up the middle. Eric’s so good, teams almost have to key on him or else he’ll just make them pay. Teams will start to realize that they can’t do that to us when we have such good weapons on the outside.” After his 2014 season ended on the field, Clifford went to quarterback school, sitting in the press box with offensive coaches Tyler Vradenburg and Ryan Gallagher. “I’d know what they want on every play because they’re calling the offense,” Clifford said. “I was really dialed in even when I was hurt. I have been working hard in the offseason, just working on
being as smart as I can on the field.” “You will not find a smarter and more poised kid, and then he had great instruction from that point of view with the coaches all last year,” Holecek said. “It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.” Defensively against Maine South, the Ramblers also dominated, collecting seven sacks, forcing two turnovers and blocking a punt. The punt, blocked by Frank Doherty, was recovered by Anthony Romano at the Hawks’ 1-yard line and set up a Dara Laja touchdown run. Romano also forced a fumble that Jack Hough recovered and ran back 34 yards for the touchdown that started the running clock. Romano is from Park Ridge and attended Emerson Middle School, just like many of the Hawks. His opportunity to play Friday came only after an apparent wrist injury to linebacker John Shannon.
n the final play of the first half in New Trier’s 29-16 win over host Warren, NT cornerback Christian Miller intercepted a pass deep in NT’s territory. Moments later, the speedy senior was off to the races. Miller was zipping down the right sideline, when — all of a sudden — he got this wild idea to zig and then zag on his way to the opposite end zone on Sept. 4. Unfortunately, for him, the cutback threw him … off course. Miller’s 65-yard return ended a few hash marks short of the goal line, when he got tackled at the Warren 25-yard line as the second-quarter clock expired. With this being his first interception at the varsity level, Miller found himself in uncharted territory. He could’ve used one of those air traffic controllers. Just ask him. “I got a little too ambitious,” Miller admitted. “I had a convoy (ahead of me). Instead of cutting back, I should’ve kept going straight down the sideline. I’ll never cut back again. “Man, I should’ve taken that one all the way back,” he added. “There’s no reason why I didn’t. It’s going to haunt me.” Because of the near miss, Miller said that he wasn’t looking forward to the team’s next film session. But he should. There’s plenty to like about Miller’s performance. “I love Christian’s attitude,” said NT head coach Brian Doll. “He’s an excitable kid, and he’s tough as nails. He’s a two-way player (cornerback and wide receiver) who never wants to come off the field.” In addition to his interception, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Miller was Mr. Opportunity early in the
fourth quarter when he recovered a fumble following a hard hit by Joe Lewis on Warren wide-out Micah Jones near midfield. It was that kind of evening for New Trier’s defensive unit. There was plenty of pickin’ and grinnin’ in this one. Eric Nicholas and Lucas Bartzis also picked off passes. “We were able to put a lot of pressure on their quarterback(s), which allowed our defensive backs to jump a lot of routes,” said Doll. And, in addition to recovering two fumbles — the first one by Colin Casas on a bad snap to the quarterback on Warren’s first series of the game — the Trevians recorded four quarterback sacks and three tackles for loss. The sack men were Lewis, Max Rosenthal, Charlie Stimson and Devin Murphy. “Our defensive line and linebackers did a great job of flowing to the ball. All week, we talked a lot about swarming to the ball and gang tackling, especially against No. 3 (running back Darrius Crump),” said Miller. Offensively, Czyzynski and the Trevians made the most of Warren’s mistakes to take a 22-0 lead into halftime. Rosenthal (9 rushes, 50 yards) scored twice (a 5-yarder and a 3-yarder), while Francis Fay (14-89) went in from seven yards out. The highlight of the second half was a 97-yard scoring drive, which put the Trevians ahead 29-0 with 11:37 left in the final frame. Czyzynski (18-66) capped the drive with a 1-yard run. NT’s other points came on a 34-yard field goal by Nick Endre. The Trevians (2-0) will travel to Maine West (2-0) on Sept. 11 (7 p.m.).

Staying power
Undying love for tennis keeps these senior buddies in competitive form BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
R
on Wick gets out of his car in the parking lot of the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff. It is summertime, an early Friday morning, another morning to play tennis with some of his good friends. Wick, a Lake Bluff resident, is 84. Three of his good friends are older. One is younger. As Wick strolls to the entrance of the indoor facility, he learns a local publication plans to run a story about Wick and his good friends and their commitment to playing tennis three times every week, Monday and Wednesday and Friday. “You’re going to write a story about us?” a smiling Wick, still strolling, says, his eyes twinkling. “It will be a short one: ‘They came. They all fell down. They went home.’ ” If Wick’s reflexes at the net are as quick and sharp as his wit, his friends are in trouble. Big trouble. They would play doubles for 90 minutes on this Friday, their reserved block of time. Four of the men warm up on a court. Wick joins Bill Temple, 82, Ralph Lambrecht, 86, and Bruce Colegrove, 90. Bob Bramhall, 87 years old and a Roger Federer fan, waits his turn, sitting and watching Tennis Channel in one of the club’s lounge areas. “The former King of Sweden, Gustav [V], played competitive tennis in his 80s,” Bramhall, a Libertyville resident and former Harvard University tennis team captain, says. “I hope that what we do here, three times a week, encourages others to play tennis in their later years.” What they do thrills Mike Friedman, a 1984 Highland Park High School graduate and longtime teaching pro at tennis clubs along the North Shore. A couple of winters ago he was working 15 hours per week at the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff when the group of senior citizens needed a fill-in netter. Friedman had the time. Friedman had a blast. “Great guys, friendly guys, super friendly,” Friedman, also the varsity boys tennis coach at Lake Forest Academy and a Hitting the sweet spot: Bill Temple reaches to punch a high volley during doubles match at Ractennis pro at Five Seasons Family quet Club of Lake Bluff.

Sports Club in Northbrook, says. “I got to know them. You can’t help but admire them for what they do. These guys love tennis, love to get out and play. I think it’s awesome. Three times a week … that’s awesome.” Lisa Hunt works the front desk, among other duties, at the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff. You can’t enter one of the indoor courts without receiving a greeting from her. Each of the ageless Monday-Wednesday-Friday morning men stops near the desk, hears Hunt’s warm words, returns a smile. Service returns come later. “They’re my buddies,” Hunt says. “Each is a treasure. They’re gentlemen, always dressed nicely. They keep on going. It’s great, isn’t it? They inspire other club members.” Bramhall also played basketball at Harvard, earning four varsity letters as a 6-foot-2 point guard/shooting forward for the Crimson. He received his MBA from Harvard in 1954. Five years later, while working for GE, he and his wife packed for a summer trip to England. The country hosts a pretty prestigious tennis tournament, Wimbledon, every year. Bramhall was all set to compete in it. Bad weather, though, delayed his flight for two days. “I called [a tournament official] and was told to get there when I could, but that I would have to play in a qualifying round [to earn a spot in the main draw],” Bramhall, dressed in tennis whites, recalls. “I lost that match.” All was not lost. Bramhall and his wife traveled throughout Europe and returned to Wimbledon in time to watch Alex Olmedo beat Rod Laver 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 for the men’s singles championship. Among the highlights in Bramhall’s competitive tennis career was an appearance in the men’s doubles final at the National Senior Clay Court Championships in 1973. His partner? Bobby Riggs, formerly ranked No. 1 in the world in singles (as
an amateur and as a professional). Colegrove, of Lake Forest, the eldest of the elderly quintet, faced a choice back when he was a freshman at Dartmouth College: tennis or crew? A future pilot at the time, he chose crew, an oarsman before becoming a soar man. Tennis is his favorite activity these days, much to the amazement of his assistant, Mari. “I hope,” Mari, standing nearby, says, “he teaches me tennis someday.” Colegrove stubbed a toe earlier this summer, sidelining him for a month, doctor’s orders. He returned to the court on July 31, his excitement, minutes before joining a trio of octogenarians, impossible to miss between Hunt’s desk and the door to a bank of courts. “My strength as a tennis player today?” he says “That I’m able to get on the court.” Colegrove chuckles. Mari, laughing, adds to the chorus. Temple, a Lake Bluff resident and Highland Park High School graduate, is asked to reveal his age. It’s a number he’s eager to announce. He does not care who hears it. It’s a big number to some, a small number to others. It’s also just a … number. “I’m 82,” Temple, beaming, says. “I’m the kid of the group, the sassy one. It’s amazing we’re still doing this, still playing. The men in the group have had strokes, cancers. We’ve come back from a lot. We’ve had injured legs, injured arms, injured feet.” It’s nearly 8 a.m., time to stop talking and start walking. The men can’t wait to hit the court, hit a tennis ball, hit winners. Is there a sweeter sound than the sound of a racket’s sweet spot striking a tennis ball indoors? The sound lingers. Feet shuffle at both ends of the court, producing another familiar sound on a tennis court, the sound of players preparing for the next shot. The gentlemen at the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff hit and shuffle and hit and shuffle. The gentlemen endure. The gentlemen thrive.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST
Governor hopes statehouse leads to White House
By David Sweet
E
nsconced in a chair at The Grille on Laurel restaurant, Gov. Scott Walker thinks for a moment about the 17-person strong Republican field for President. Businessman Donald Trump is a publicity magnet; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is raking in tens of millions of dollars. How does the Wisconsin governor distinguish himself from the pack? “I’ve fought and won,” says the 47 year old, dressed in a dark suit with an American flag pin nestled on his lapel. In fact, few governors in American history have faced the vitriol of voters the way Walker has — and emerged on top. He reined in Wisconsin’s public unions (the same ones whose pension bill in Illinois threatens to sink the state) while enduring death threats and rabid protests. The provocateur was Act 10, a bill Walker proposed that curbed collectivebargaining rights and became law in 2011. He also signed a right-to-work law. Despite Wisconsin’s Democratic leanings, Walker has won two elections and even prevailed in a rare recall effort. “What we did was take power out of the hands of the special interests and put power back into the hands of the hard-working taxpayers,” he explains. Before his recent exclusive interview with The North Shore Weekend, Walker regaled more than
50 campaign contributors and potential donors during a breakfast featuring scrambled eggs and bacon at The Grille on Laurel, a gathering organized by long-time friend and Lake Forest resident Karen Schmid. Like one of his political heroes, President Ronald Reagan, Walker promotes a small set of clear principles. Should he be elected in 2016, his three-pronged plan involves reform, growth and safety. Reform essentially would transfer power back to the states and give them a bigger chance to decide how to spend money than Washington. By repealing ObamaCare and lowering the tax burden on consumers and employers, Walker — who is a big fan of the 1986 tax ref or m Reagan championed — believes solid growth will follow. The Republican candidate says President Barrack Obama has made America less safe, especially with his Middle East policies. “We have a President who drew

a line in the sand (in Syria) and let them cross it,” Walker notes. “Iran has not fundamentally changed since the (1979) hostage crisis.” Articulate and passionate, Walker was happy to sink his teeth into presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “As bad as this President has been, Hillary would be infinitely worse,” he says. “Everywhere Hillary touched as Secretary of State is worse off. People like Hillary think you grow wealth in Washington.” Though Walker is behind in the Republican polls and has suffered criticism about the direction of his campaign recently, his position as governor is an asset. From 19772009, former governors occupied the Oval Office save for a four-year stretch (President George H.W. Bush). Governors are often seen as chief executives and leaders; if they can run one of the 50 states successfully, the Presidency is the next natural step. Still, why is the conservative aiming for the toughest job in the
land? He cites two reasons: Alex and Matthew — his two boys. “I want my kids to inherit a better life,” Walker says. “That’s why when they threw death threats and protestors at us in Wisconsin, I didn’t back down.” Walker has found important support south of the border. Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein of Lake Forest — whose Uline company moved from northern Illinois to Pleasant Prairie, Wis. in 2008 — are top Illinois supporters, giving more than $2 million to Walker’s super political action committee, according to the Chicago Tribune. Todd Ricketts of Wilmette, part of the family that owns the Chicago Cubs, is another major donor as well as Walker’s national finance co-chairman. Walker is a big backer of the state’s new governer, Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner. “I think Bruce is incredible. He has a similar mindset to do the right thing. It’s about leadership.” Aside from Reagan, Walker admires the leadership shown by President Abraham Lincoln (“he had incredible courage”) and President George Washington (“tremendous foresight”). He’s also a fan of President Harry Truman’s postWorld-War-II foreign policy. A self-described policy geek, Walker loves history — perhaps as much as his main hobby, riding his Harley motorcycle. The book “Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin is a favorite, and he says if he’s elected, his Cabinet would reflect
Lincoln’s decision to keep rivals close to him, especially given the strength of the Republican field. Just like 2012 Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Congressman, Walker worked at a McDonald’s in his youth. Unlike Ryan, the Wisconsin native took orders at the counter. “He had to work in the back because it was believed he didn’t have the interpersonal skills,” Walker recalls. “I wonder what that manager thought when he saw him at the Republican National Convention.” Walker hopes to appear at the 2016 convention in Cleveland to accept his party’s nomination, and the Republican debate this week in California will be crucial to that goal. The buster of unions in his state then wants to give the State of the Union. The presidential campaign to reach that exalted spot is grueling, but it features light moments as well. Handed a gift of coasters with the Lake Forest logo on them at The Grille on Laurel, Walker was told, “When you have your next Schlitz, hopefully you can use them.” That prompted Walker to share a story about campaigning at The Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago. Double cheeseburger in hand, he was ushered behind the bar and liked what he saw: the beer that made Milwaukee famous. “I poured a cold one,” he recalls. “I thought, ‘If I don’t get the Republican primary vote, at least I’ll get the Schlitz vote.’ “
