OUr changing world Free from an Iranian jail, local professor looks for hope in refugee crisis
resh images of refugees fleeing war-torn countries continue to appear each day. On television. On the internet. In print. Some of the faces express hope, others fear and uncertainty. The face and lifeless body of a three-year-old, sadly, is an image that haunts. And lingers. Aylan Kurdi, a Syrian Kurdish refugee from Kobani, washed ashore in Turkey after a boat holding more than 20 people and heading to the Greek island of Kos — had capsized early this month. More than 380,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean this year in search of safety, an editorial notes in The Nation. At least 2,850 have drowned or are missing at sea. Germany expects 800,000 migrants this year. “It’s a terrible tragedy, what is unfolding,” Ahmad Sadri, a native of Iran and professor of Islamic World Studies at Lake Forest College, says. “My interest [as an academic] is the society of religions in the world. Old religions, such as Christianity and Judaism, have acclimated to the modern world. Another old religion, Islam, … it gets complicated. There is prosperity in [Muslimmajority countries] Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia. These countries have acclimated to modernity. “Fundamentalism and auto-
cratic forms of government, in other countries, lead to isolation,” he adds. “These refugees, these migrants, are voting with their feet.” Sadri, a professor of sociology in the sociology and anthropology department at LFC since 1988, is scheduled to speak at an “Our Changing World” seminar Oct. 3 (8:30 a.m.-1 p.m.) at North Shore Senior Center in Northfield. The title of his presentation is, “Good News and Bad News from the Islamic World: Islam in Transition and Turmoil.” Tough news greeted Sadri, 61, shortly after he arrived in Tehran, Iran, in the summer of 2014. The University of Tehran graduate was interrogated for eight hours and jailed for signing a petition calling for the release of a Toronto professor, who had been detained. Fourteen others also signed it. Sadri was charged with propaganda against the state and collaborating with the enemy. The first crime carries a prison term of one year, the latter a prison term of five years. “I had just expressed myself,” Sadri says. He was released on bail, but if he were to return to Iran he would be arrested upon landing at an airport. The administration at Lake Forest College fully supported Sadri, who, in 1978, earned his PhD in sociology from Continued on PG 12

At the Movies by simon murray dailynorthshore.com
T
here’s a point in the indie romantic comedy “People Places Things” when a haggard looking, sad-sack, wholly jaded graphic artist (played by New Zealand actor Jemaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords”) asks his students at the liberal arts college where he teaches, “Why does life suck? Double underline so hard.” He sits on his desk and allows the young class of pen-holding artists to soak in the middle-aged angst. “Because people are selfish and petty,” states one girl, matter-offactly. Such lessons however are lost on the Gorton Community Center; which relies on the generosity of residents and businesses to help fund its myriad programs, services, and building improve-
ments. For the first time, the historic building in Lake Forest will be showing critically acclaimed independent films one Thursday each month from October through May. “People Places Things,” a 2015 Sundance Film Festival darling, is the first film in the series. And it never would’ve happened without a partnership with the Gene Siskel Film Center, hours of volunteers’ time, and a sizable endowment from the widow of a famous filmmaker. The Gene Siskel Film Center has a long-standing mission of presenting significant world cinema in a non-commercial context. Established as the Film Center of the School of Art Institute of Chicago more than 40 years ago, it was renamed in 2000 to honor the late film critic (and Chicago native) who his longtime “At the Movies” partner, Roger
Our 30th Anniversary. My, how tiMe flies.
Ebert, described as “formidably well-informed.” From its inception, Siskel championed the Film Center. (When asked by a journalist to list his three favorite things about Chicago, he named Michael Jordan, Mayor Daley, and the Film Center.) He urged public funding and audience support. And maybe above all, he applauded the distinctive programming. Continuing his legacy, the Gene Siskel Film Center has presented world-class independent, international, and classic cinema. And now those films will be coming to the Gorton Center. “We’re planning on showing a range of films that would best represent the [Gorton Center],” said Executive Director, Gene Siskel Film Center, Jean de St. Aubin. According to Aubin, these movies will be screened at the Siskel Film Center six weeks prior
to their debut at the Gorton. In that way, “we’ll have a sense of what the box office was like, what public interest was like.” With the inaugural screening of “People Places Things” on Oct. 1, it will be the first time the Gene Siskel Film Center has ever overseen public screenings outside of the city. The two organizations landed on each other’s radars fairly recently. (The finalizing agreements were inked only two weeks ago.) This, after Nancy Hughes (the widow of John Hughes), made a $2 million donation to Gorton’s Community Spirit Transformed capital campaign to raise money, without which none of this would’ve been possible. Out of her generous donation, $1.5 million went to the newly renovated theater, which has been named The John & Nancy Hughes Theater in her honor.
(Another $500,000 went to endow another film series in John Hughes’ name, which will launch next year.) It was around that time, late 2014, after Mrs. Hughes made her donation, when the Gorton Center’s Board started to reach out to other independent movie theaters in and around Chicago. At first it was to get an idea about the behind-the-curtain practices of the industry, such as distribution and reporting. But as the theater was being renovated, the Board knew a partnership with the Gene Siskel Film Center would be integral. “If we could get into a partnership with them, they could take us by the hand and educate us, as far as how to deal with distributors, how to deal with reporting issues,” said Gorton Board Member Al Lerner, who was largely responsible for the part-
nership. Not to mention “they have two people that do nothing but curate films.” Added Lerner, “We’re very excited to be working with the Gene Siskel Film Center because they’re a well established name and I think provide us with high quality films that will appeal to our audience.” On a recent trip to the Gorton Center, Marlene Iglitzen (Siskel’s wife) and de St. Aubin toured the newly renovated facility. “We were really impressed,” said de St. Aubin. “We are delighted to share our eclectic programming through this film series. “Films are the single greatest art form for expressing the human condition,” she added. “They have the power to not only entertain us but they transport us to other places and times, providing us with a better understanding of ourselves and our world.”

AHMAD SADRI Cont. from PG 1 the New School for Social Research in New York City. He resumed teaching at LFC last December. “I am grateful for what the college did for me, and I do hope the charges will be dismissed,” Sadri says. “The college used its influence to help me. The college saw to it that my classes were taught [in the fall term] in my absence.” Mohammad Khatami, the President of Iran from 19972005 and a Reformist politician, spoke at LFC nine years ago. Sadri was instrumental in securing the engagement. “A liberal arts education is pure learning,” he says. “It expands students’ minds. Good citizens who think on their feet are here, and they will be ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow. My job, this job on this campus, is a dream job. It’s a great gig if you can get it. I am constantly stimulated, interacting with my students in the classroom.” Ever the optimist, Sadri acknowledges the horrors of the refugee crisis but sees the potential for good news to emerge from it. He sees the United States’
“Yes, it is bad news, terrible news, seeing what we’re seeing [during the refugee crisis]. But it is also evidence … evidence that extremism, or fundamentalism, is not working. Evidence such as what we’re seeing is an opportunity for reformists to declare, ‘Look, open your eyes. Is this what you want?’” –Ahmad Sadri Ahmad Sadri. Photography by Joel Lerner

look for silver linings,” says Sadri, adding a similar wave of refugees fled after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. “Yes, it is bad news, terrible news, seeing what we’re seeing [during the refugee crisis]. But it
is also evidence … evidence that extremism, or fundamentalism, is not working. Evidence such as what we’re seeing is an opportunity for reformists to declare, ‘Look, open your eyes. Is this

check-in and a continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m. The keynote presentation begins at 9 a.m. The cost to attend for NSSC members is $79; $99 for non-members. The phone number at the NSSC is (847) 784-6000.

ctor Bill Murray and his five brothers – whose experiences as caddies at Indian Hill Club in Winnetka inspired the 1980 comedy classic, “Caddyshack” – were inducted into The Caddie Hall of Fame on Wednesday night at the 2015 BMW Championship following their participation in the Gardner Heidrick Pro-Am at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest. Administered by the Western Golf Association since 2007, The Caddie Hall of Fame highlights the tradition and importance of caddying by recognizing individuals who have devoted their lives to the game of golf through caddying or by supporting the role of caddies. During the induction ceremony, the six brothers discussed their caddie days, their family and golf. Moderator Jimmy Roberts of NBC Sports asked the brothers what makes a good caddie. “A good caddie makes a member feel like part of a team and like you’re trying to accomplish something together,” said Ed Murray, the only of the Murray brothers to earn the Evans Scholarship. Bill Murray said, “It’s an ability to look at a player when he hits a bad shot and go ‘ehhhh….. it happens.’ And when he hits a good shot, you go, ‘well, that’s really who you are.’” The Murray Brothers join the likes of Tom Watson, Chick Evans and Jack Nicklaus in The Caddie Hall of Fame. “What an honor to be included with Old Tom Morris, Frances Ouimet, Fluff Cowan and all that crowd,” Ed said. “I’m just afraid they’re going to make me caddie again,” Bill joked. Bill’s portrayal of Bushwood Country Club’s hapless greenskeeper, Carl Spackler, in “Caddyshack” helped immortalize the film, which was co-written by his older brother, Brian Doyle-Murray, who also played caddie master Lou Loomis in the movie. “We are honored and excited to welcome the Murray brothers to the 2015 BMW Championship and to induct them into The
Murray brothers. Charles Cherney Photography
Caddie Hall of Fame,” said Vince Pellegrino, Senior Vice President of Tournaments for the Western Golf Association, which conducts the BMW Championship. “The Murray brothers’ experiences coming of age in the caddie yard – including the quest for an Evans Scholarship – are what have made “Caddyshack” a favorite, not just of golfers and sports fans but of movie lovers across the world.” Brian based a key plot element of “Caddyshack” on the eldest Murray brother Ed’s pursuit of a caddie scholarship. Ed was awarded an Evans Scholarship to attend Northwestern University in 1963. The Murray brothers and their three sisters – Nancy, Peggy and Laura – grew up in Wilmette. Their father, Edward Murray, was a lumber salesman and their mother, Lucille, was a homemaker. The Inductees Ed Murray, 71, retired in 2010 as senior vice president with
“I’m just afraid they’re going to make me caddie again.” –Bill Murray Morgan Stanley after a 27-year career as a financial consultant. The first of the Murray brothers to work at Indian Hill, Ed caddied for the likes of evangelist Billy Graham, Bob Hope and Charles “Chick” Evans, a U.S. Open champion and founder of the Evans Scholarship. He received the Evans Scholarship in 1963, but four years in the Air Force delayed his graduation until 1971. He played a bit part in Caddyshack, earning $35 a day as an extra. He and actor Michael O’Keefe, who played Noonan, played golf together during
filming. Ed is still an avid golfer. Brian Doyle-Murray, 69, has had a 43-year career as an actor, comedian, voice-actor and screenwriter, earning three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy in 1978, ’79 and ’80 for his work on Saturday Night Live, NBC’s trailblazing sketch comedy and variety show. He has appeared in a number of movies – including Caddyshack, Scrooged, Ghostbusters II, the Razor’s Edge and Groundhog Day – and TV shows. He currently has a recurring role as auto dealership owner Don Ehlert in the sitcom The Middle on ABC. He got his start at Chicago’s Second City improvisational sketch comedy theater. Brian also is an avid golfer. Bill Murray, 64, followed his brother Brian to Second City and joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1976, eventually becoming a leading member of the cast and earning an Emmy Award. He parlayed his comedic genius into starring roles in such box off ice hits as Caddyshack,
Stripes, and Tootsie. He later starred in Ghostbusters, also a massive hit. In recent years, Murray has turned to more dramatic roles, winning a Golden Globe Award for his work in Lost in Translation. Throughout his career, Murray’s love of golf has been a constant. He has been a regular at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am, where his crazy outfits and occasionally outra-
geous crowd interactions delight live and TV audiences alike. Andrew Murray, 61, is a chef, and is co-founder and co-chariman of the Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida. The restaurant, located in the World Golf Village, opened in 2001. Andy usually can be found either in the kitchen or greeting customers at the front door. John Murray, 57, is an actor, writer and producer. He has appeared in a number of films, including Starting Over, Caddyshack, They All Laughed, Moving Violations and Scrooged. He also has appeared in several TV roles on such programs as Northern Exposure and theEleventh Hour. Joel Murray, 52, has been in show business since 1986, including a stint at Second City early in his career. He recently played the recurring character of advertising copy writer Freddy Rumsen in 15 episodes of the mammoth hit series Mad Men. He starred in the 1990 TV seriesGrand, the 1991 comedy ser ies Pacif ic Station and the 19 92 ABC series Dharma & Greg. He has made guest appearances on such shows as The Nanny, Joan of Arcadia, Two and a Ha l f Men, Malcom in the Middle, Criminal Minds and Blossom. In the 2012 film God Bless America he portrays Frank, a man whose contempt for the superficiality and meanness of America society sends him over the edge and into a killing spree. In the 2013 film Monsters University, he played the voice of Don Carlton, a middle-aged monster. He recently joined the improve-comedy troupe Whose Live Anyway? Submitted by the Western Golf Association.

Powerful Performances Drive ‘Ordinary People’ By Jill Soderberg
T
he story of “Ordinary People,” Citadel Theatre’s current production, is heartbreaking, but the emotional journey is one well worth taking largely because of the powerfully affecting performance of Matt Ronzani as Conrad Jarrett, the troubled young man at the center of the play. Judith Guest’s book, dramatized by Nancy Gilsenan, explores the aftermath of loss through the Jarrett family, whose son Buck died in a sailing accident. Following his older brother’s death, Conrad attempted suicide and has returned home after a prolonged hospital stay. Home is Lake Forest, emblematic of a traditional, affluent town, which is where Guest set her book and where Robert Redford filmed his 1980 movie, casting community members, including the Lake Forest High School swim team (Buck and Conrad were swimmers), and creating a celebritydriven stir here 35 years ago. The movie, starring Timothy Hutton, Mary Tyler Moore, and Judd Hirsch, won that year’s Academy Award for Best Picture. The story, about a family of “ordinary people” coping with tragedy and a child challenged by depression, is as resonant now as it was then, perhaps especially so in the wake of the high school suicides in our community three years ago. Director Scott Phelps has assembled a solid cast and effectively uses projections to locate the
action—as the play opens, familiar images of Market Square, the train station, the Lantern—and to add texture, especially evocative when Conrad, wrestling with survivor’s guilt, relives the trauma of the day when the waters of Lake Michigan, projected over the entire set, claimed his brother’s life. As the Jarrett family endeavors to return to normalcy, Conrad’s father, Cal, a successful lawyer, played by Jeff Gamlin, tries to bring his family back together but is thwarted by his wife, Beth, who is remote, impenetrable, and overly concerned with appearances. As Conrad says, “She wants everything to be perfect.” Julie Stevens’s perfectly groomed Beth looks remarkably like Mary Tyler Moore, but the underwritten script doesn’t allow her to develop as the sympathetic character that was revealed in the film, but merely as an antagonist in the household dynamic, more concerned with her country club activities than with the emotional landscape of her family. Cal insists that Conrad “stick with the plan” and meet with the hospital-recommended psychiatrist, and Chuck Quinn III as Dr. Berger brings authenticity to the role of the unkempt but astute therapist. Ultimately, this is a play whose success hinges on the role of Conrad; and whether deflecting dialogue with a quip or evoking the agony of a nightmare, Matt Ronzani is masterful in exhibiting Conrad’s full range of emotions. His wrenching breakthrough
TE N! A D TIO W A NE LOC D AN
meeting with Dr. Berger captures the intense anguish of his desperate struggle, and that anguish permeates the theatre. The ensemble also includes Julia MacMillan, whose mature bearing hampers her believability as Jeannine, Conrad’s classmate and romantic interest, as well as Danielle Mohrbach playing Karen, the severely depressed girl Conrad met in the hospital, who asks, “Do you ever worry you’re going to slip?” Rounding out the able cast are Chris Westbrook as Joe Lazenby, a fellow swim team member, sympathetic to Conrad; Chuck Quinn IV as Stillman, the jock who considers Conrad “a flake”; and Andy Clifton as the hard-nosed swim coach. Although the shortcomings of the adaptation result in several snapshot scenes incompletely integrated into the narrative, Citadel’s “Ordinary People” is at times gripping—the audience is rooting for Conrad’s rehabilitation—as it portrays the complexities of love in a compelling story about characters struggling to be in control. The emotional turmoil is unsettling, but the reward is satisfying when a couple of these characters learn, grow, and ultimately connect. “Ordinary People” runs through October 18 with performances presented Thursday through Sunday on the Citadel Theatre stage at the west campus of Lake Forest High School, 300 South Waukegan Road. Matinees are on Sundays at 3 PM. For tickets and information, call 847735-8554 or visit citadeltheatre.org.

Is peaceful divorce an oxymoron or a possibility?
Joanna Brown
A
bout the same time that my friends and neighbors (and me) were posting to Facebook and Instagram photos of our kids on the first day of school, a Canadian couple was making headlines with their photo from the end of their marriage. Chris and Shannon Neuman photographed themselves grin-
ning from ear to ear outside of the Calgary Courts Center moments after they divorced. She explained when she posted the photo to Facebook that they were not smiling about their divorce — but rather that they ended their 11-year marriage without ending their relationship. “We have done something
without a doubt that a peaceful divorce is possible. This is 2015, I reminded him. Married people not only have children together — they might also be business partners or work in the same professional field and therefore cross paths frequently. Can anybody do that well after a divorce, or are these Canadians unique? “It’s important that you reach an agreement, finalize it, and move on quickly,” Bender explained. “If it goes on too long, it leads to hard extraordinary (we think anyway!),” feelings. People and their attorShannon Neuman wrote. “We neys say things that can be mishave respectfully, thoughtfully and construed and insulting. Tension honorably ended our marriage in and anxiety rise.” He recoma way that will allow us to go mended working with a mediator forward as parenting partners.” before getting to the courtroom. They fully intend to be a united “Mediation helps people to see front for the rest of their days, even all their options,” Bender exthe most stressful (their two chil- plained. “In divorce, people have dren’s wedding days was the fears that need to be talked about example Shannon Neuman gave and addressed, but there is no to one newspaper). They admit reason you can’t move forward that they mourned their marriage together. A mediator will help you during their four years separated but felt good about their decision when the agreement was made final. Her Facebook post invited others to share the message that it’s “possible to love your kids more than you hate/distrust/ dislike your ex.” I asked Chicago-based attorney Michael Ian Bender to weigh in on this possibility. Bender, of Lincolnshire, has practiced family law in the Chicago area since 1993, except for the six years that he served as a Cook County Circuit Court judge. He told me

have a discussion about what the future looks like and what the possibilities are. Divorce isn’t something you plan for, but it doesn’t have to be a miserable War of the Roses.” Toward that end, Bender advised being honest about financial matters. “There is no need to hide assets, because the court will always find out anyway,” he explained. “Be honest when you talk about what all there is and work out what’s fair. That’s where mediation can be win/win, where both people can be happy with the agreement that is reached. But that can’t happen without several hours of communication, and that’s not going to happen in the courtroom.”
When divorce ultimately does get to the courtroom, Bender advised leaving the children out of it. Divorcing parents expect their children to have questions, but this is one time when honesty is not necessarily the best policy. Explain that both parents have decided to end the marriage (not that “Your father wanted a divorce, not me”), but that the children will always be lo ved by both parents and well cared for. Don’t make the children choose sides, Bender said, because there’s just no reason to open the door to that later tension. If you and your former spouse did something to make your divorce peaceful, I want to hear about it at joanna@ northshoreweekend.com

Waiters masterpieces. Velazquez comes carrying inventive cocktails to to O’Neil’s by way of Carlos’ spirited, chatting groups of Restaurant in Highland Park families and friends. Columns (now Nieto’s). Velazquez worked there for 23 years, helping restaurateur Carlos Nieto open the new restaurant before embarking for Partrick O’Neil’s flagship in Winnetka. O’Neil’s also has undergone a recent transformation. Still casual to the core, the décor has been enlivened. The quaint, family-owned restaurant with wood paneling has turned into a contemporary, family-owned restaurant with an open concept and kid-friendly dining. And the cuisine—under the watchful eye of Velazquez—has been transformed as well. The thing you have to know Chef Ramiro Velazquez about the sof t-spoken By Simon Murray
T
Velazquez, like most artists with a vision, he lets his artistry speak for itself. He’s very modest. But he could have an ego as in your face as the spice from his smoked paprika skirt steak, or as inflated as his slow roasted herbed chicken that he brines for 24 hours before serving. The food is that good. “He spends his whole weekend thinking of what he’s going to do,” says a pleasantly dumbfounded Josh Keating— executive chef of O’Neil’s— smiling and shaking his head in equal parts mock-and-real disbelief. “He’s amazing like that.” No matter the season, the slow roasted herbed chicken is one of Velazquez’s favorites. But will it be on the menu for all of fall and winter? Thinking of the many things he’s looking forward to adding to the menu, Velazquez laughs. “We’ll see,” he says, with an air of mystery. Either way, here’s a recipe for you to enjoy at home whether Velazquez’s brined birds are on the menu or not.

Musings by Mike Lubow
ome of us are burdened with wandering ears. Well, maybe it’s not exactly a burden. It’s a distraction, sure. But there are benefits, especially if you live on the North Shore. Wandering ears pick up random sound bites from those not in your company. In restaurants and coffee hangouts, theater lobbies, trains, wherever groups are talking and you can’t help overhearing. North Shore sound bites are like the people who live here: amusing, erudite, creative, iconoclastic, diverse, stimulating, interesting and fun.
The other night in a restaurant, your wandering ears picked up a man saying to his friends, “We are defined by the stories we tell” Don’t worry. He doesn’t actually talk that way. He went on to clarify that he was describing a quote from a PBS special about history. Wherever he got it, he said it, you heard it, and it made you think. It even hit kinda close to home. But North Shore sound bites aren’t always literary. Sometimes they’re simply fun ideas with a typical, locally grown, self-confident spin.
In a fast food joint recently you heard a guy with enthusiasm saying to a friend that the best drink to accompany a great meal shouldn’t be fine wine. It should be a chocolate malt. Be honest, he said, wine’s an elitist affectation. Nothing that’s both sour and bitter can compare to a delicious malt. Hmm. You gotta smile. The guy’s unafraid of his own unvarnished truth. A brave and funny thinker. Later, while sipping the first chocolate malt you’ve had in years, you think: thank you, wandering ears.
Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI
The seller’s DIsClOsure With every listing comes a form called “The Seller’s Disclosure.” This is a form that every seller must fill out and should be included with documentation. It’s a form that tells potential buyers exactly what they’re in for with the house they’re buying. While the disclosure is a great tool, it shouldn’t be your only tool. Ask the seller if they’re willing to have a home inspection done and if any defects are disclosed, that they’ll be willing to make necessary repairs. The good news is a seller’s disclosure will let you know about any defects or potential defects in a house. The bad news is that if, after closing, something happens that wasn’t listed on the form, and the seller says they were unaware of it, there’s nothing that can be done. This is why a home inspection is a great thing to invest in—as well as asking the seller to include a home warranty. If “Contingent upon satisfactory home inspection,” it’s written into the contract offered, the buyer is provided with options. With a home warranty secured and in place at the time of closing, both the buyer and the seller are protected, with just a little extra forethought and planning going into the terms of closing. Talk with your Realtor®, they’ll explain all your options! For professional advice from an experienced Realtor, call Jean Wright at (847) 217-1906 or email at jwright@jeanwright.com

Wealth of talent ‘Possession-monger’ Moore owns a plethora of soccer skills BY DAN SHALIN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
W
hen a few Highland Park High School soccer players took turns imitating one of head coach Blake Novotny’s halftime team talks recently, one phrase came up repeatedly — “Just get the ball to Eamonn’s foot.” “I guess I do say that a lot,” Novotny acknowledged about the statement, which refers to senior center midfielder Eamonn Moore. “When the ball is bouncing or moving, I say get the ball on his foot. Eamonn is settling for us in terms of keeping the ball, not turning it over and controlling the pace of the game. He helps get us settled.” A third-year varsity player and returning all-league performer, Moore has been a calming presence for the inexperienced Giants this season. After battling some early growing pains and going 1-2 to start the campaign, Highland Park entered this week with a 3-0-2 record in its last five games. Novotny said Moore, whom he nicknamed “Possessionmonger,” has been a major reason for the team’s success thus far. Moore also was a key cog last fall, as his cultured midfield play and timely goals helped Highland Park win the CSL North title and reach a Class 3A sectional final. Though Novotny admits Moore does not have the build or quickness of a classic No. 10 playmaker, he said the 6-foot 200-pounder finds ways to get the job done. In addition to using his size, strength and touch to keep the ball, Moore also is a fine distributor, calling upon his vision and an uncanny ability to anticipate what will happen next. An accomplished high school chess player, Moore said there are clear parallels between the two games, specifically the importance of thinking several steps ahead. “In chess, you have to think
He’d play with us and have us watch games. We’d watch the English Premier League together every Saturday.” An Arsenal fan, Eamonn said the family viewing usually led to good banter in the house, especially because there are brothers who support Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool respectively. Watching older brothers Eoin, Aiden and Francesco play over the years, and playing with them, appears to have been invaluable for Eamonn’s development as a soccer player. “Ever since I was young, I’d watch their games, and because of that I always looked forward to playing for the high school,” Eamonn said. “When I was younger, we’d play two-on-two, we’d play a lot together and I learned a lot from them. I learned how to play from them.” Having been so well-educated in the sport by his older brothers, all of whom have gone off to college, Eamonn said he now takes seriously his role as mentor to younger brother Ronin, himself a precocious soccer talent. As for Eamonn’s game, Novotny said it most resembles that of older brother Eoin, also an intelligent player and good at keeping the ball. Eoin’s post-high school path also may serve as a roadmap for Eamonn. Eoin currently attends college in Ireland and plays for a small soccer club there. Eamonn said he is looking at colleges in Ireland, Spain and Switzerland and hopes to study Eamonn, the Man: Highland Park High School’s Eamonn Moore looks to push the ball upfield during earlier action this season. international business.

Ironclad skills Loyola Academy’s tough-minded Savarie has a firm grip on his game BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
C
hip Savarie. Loyola Academy boys varsity coach Tim Kane had heard a lot about the incoming freshman in the summer of 2014. A golfer named Chip. That had to be a good thing, right? Savarie, hopeful and talented, showed up for the first day of tryouts last August. Upperclassmen and sophomores and other freshmen, also hopeful and talented, showed up. Unlike athletes in other sports, golfers attempt to conquer objects (holes) in tryouts, not peers. Savarie, a Winnetka resident, made Kane’s team. He then proved he belonged, swinging and chipping and putting as the Ramblers’ fourth or fifth golfer. But his play dipped a bit near the end of the season. He did not make Kane’s state series team, which placed ninth at the Class 3A state meet in Bloomington. “He was,” Kane recalls, “a freshman.” The freshman is a 15-year-old sophomore today, a 5-foot-11, 185-pounder. Taller than last year. Lengthier off the tee than last year. Savarie usually shoots the best or second-best score among Ramblers at meets. One of his classmates, Glenview resident John Kryscio, is capable of shooting LA’s best or secondbest score at meets. Kryscio made the Ramblers’ state series team last fall. “Chip doesn’t make many mistakes,” Kryscio says. “Keeps the ball in play. He scores well; his worst scores are 76, 75. His iron play is really good.” Savarie got off to a shaky start at the 12-team Deerfield Invitational at Twin Orchard Country Club in Long Grove on Sept. 12. He then used one of his strengths — refusal to dwell on anything remotely negative — at the back half of his final nine holes. He birdied three of his last four holes to card a two-over 72, good enough for third place behind Glenbrook South junior Charlie Nikitas (69). Nikitas, in his debut round at the 6,410-yard course,
(by a stroke) at the Buffalo Grove Invite on Sept. 5, after shooting a 70 (33 on the back nine) at the Buffalo Grove Golf Course to pace LA’s runner-up showing (288) to New Trier (287). “I still loved hockey and lacrosse, and I still like to play in the occasional pickup hockey game. “A couple of years ago golf became my focus.” His favorite golf course in Chicagoland is Medinah Country Club. It is his favorite because it is challenging. The good golfers savor the chance, any chance, to tame green monsters, especially those that had been traversed by the best professionals in the world. Medinah CC has hosted six major events: three U.S. Opens (1949, 1975, 1990), two PGA Championships (1999, 2006) and the Ryder Cup in 2012. It will be the setting for the BMW Championship in 2019. “Chip works hard on his game, practices a lot, loves the game,” Kryscio says. “He hangs in there when he plays, and he has such a good attitude.” Notable: A pair of LA squads competed at separate invites on Sept. 19. One topped the North Shore Country Day Invite field with a score of 312, while the other placed fifth (309 strokes) at the Wheeling Invite.

Clay-maker
Inner drive, great mobility make New Trier’s Czyzynski a multiple threat BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
I
t is Game Day in the life of New Trier junior quarterback Clay Czyzynski. School ends on a Friday afternoon. The QB heads home for a 25-minute nap. He awakes. He then waits for his ride from NT junior running back/ linebacker Max Rosenthal. Rosenthal, behind the wheel of a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, arrives at Czyzynski’s house. He had already picked up Francis Fay, another classmate, another running back. “Our starting backfield, together, in one car,” Czyzynski said last weekend. Rosenthal drives the trio and parks the FJ Cruiser in the parking lot across the street from New Trier’s home football field in Northfield. He finds a spot, his spot, the same spot. It is always available. Rosenthal parks the vehicle. The three Trevians pile out of the SUV and head to the team’s locker room to don gladiator attire. It is comfortable and reassuring, sticking to a routine — alongside teammates — on a football player’s favorite day of the week. Check. Check. Check. But Czyzynski applies something to his 6-foot, 190-pound frame that his backfield mates do not. The QB writes “g-ma” and “g-pa” and “R.I.P.” on pieces of adhesive tape and wraps them around his wrists. Czyzynski’s late grandma was Elizabeth “Betsy” Gibbons. Czyzynski’s late grandpa was Eugene “Gene” Gibbons, an NCAA champion and All-American wrestler at Michigan State University. Elizabeth died in 2011, Eugene this past April. They lived in Fairview Park, Ohio. “It helps me before games, looking at my wrist tape, thinking about them and praying,” the grandson said. “They saw me play football only once.” What spectators witnessed during New Trier’s home game against Highland Park High School on Sept. 19: Czyzynski passing well, Czyzynski running well, Czyzynski leading well. A shortstop on baseball fields in the spring, he was a show-stopper on a football field in the fall, throwing for 239 yards and three touchdowns and running for 56 yards
said. “He doesn’t walk around saying, ‘Look at me; I’m the guy.’ He has a sensitive side, and he cares about his teammates, his coaches, his family. Those are good traits to have.” Czyzynski put his right arm to good use last spring. His bat, too. The starting shortstop on varsity hit .309 and finished with an on-base average of .356 and an on-base-plus-slugging percentage of .737. He ripped seven doubles and scored 19 runs. Before the start of the second half against Highland Park last weekend, Czyzynski, with his team ahead 27-0, hopped on the stationary bike on his team’s sideline and pedaled for a couple of minutes. He wasn’t hurt. He wasn’t sore. Maybe it was another thing to check off on his list of Game Day routines. “Just trying to get the legs going, the blood pumping,” he would say after the victory, his team’s 14th in 16 games since the start of the 2014 season. “The game,” he added, “is slowing down for me. Today (Sept. 19) felt slower than the first three games did. I was able to make better reads. I felt composed.” Notable: Last weekend’s HP-NT football game, originally scheduled for Sept. 18, was postponed until the next day because of incessant lightning.

Battle-tested Young having another rock-solid season for Scouts BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
E
mily Young was eight years old, a novice golfer, when she received a challenge from her father, Jim. It went something like this: Ace that upcoming spelling test at school, all 20 words, and I’ll buy you a golf bag and a starter set of clubs. Young took the test. Young correctly spelled all 20 words on the test. Nailed it. Jim Young picked up his daughter at school on the same day. Emily, test and super news in her hands, climbed into her father’s car. A proud dad drove his ecstatic daughter home. Emily would soon get to yank a brand-new driver from a brandnew golf bag and c-r-u-s-h a golf ball. “I remember watching my dad hit golf balls,” Emily, now a 5-foot8 senior ace on Lake Forest High School’s girls golf team, recalls. “I’d stand behind him and think, How does he do that? The shots he hit … they were flying, flying so far. I wanted to hit shots like that. “I love playing golf. I love just being on a golf course, sunrise to sundown on summer days. Sure, it’s a frustrating sport; it has brought me to my knees at times. But when you’re out there, playing a game you love and things are going well, there’s not a better feeling in the world.” Her best feat to date, on a golf course? Easy. Last fall, at a Class AA regional meet at the Scouts’ home track, Deerpath Golf Course. Young shot at 76. So did Barrington High School’s Reena Sulkar. A playoff would decide the medalist. “I had been in the lead for the longest time, waiting for the rest of the field to finish,” Young says. “I don’t even think I had my golf shoes on when I found out I’d have to play in a playoff. I shook Reena’s hand before the playoff. Everybody was watching, so many were watching, but I wasn’t nervous. I remember wanting to win so badly.” Young parred the playoff hole; Sulkar (eighth at state last fall) bogeyed it. Young, a team captain last fall and a fourth-year varsity member this fall, would go on to tie for third place at a sectional meet and then
finish 25th (85-77) at the Class AA state tournament at Hickory Point Golf Course in Decatur. “Emily was really composed in a super-stressful situation,” Lake Forest senior golfer Sarah Calcutt says of her teammate’s professional approach during the regional playoff. “She’s competitive. She brings competitive energy to the team. She’s kind of a rock on our team, and she wants everybody to get along and do well.” Three freshmen play regularly for Lake Forest’s varsity this fall. Young made the varsity as a freshman, back in 2012. She remembers the season vividly, from tryouts to team bus rides to invites to the state meet, where she tied for 56th place. Inclement weather on the second day at state reduced the tournament to an 18-hole event. “That was hard, being a freshman on varsity,” Young, outgoing and loquacious and fun-loving, admits. “A senior teammate that year told me, ‘You didn’t say a word to anybody until October.’ (Golf seasons start in mid-August). I love the freshmen on our team this year. I talk to them, drive them around. I drove some of them to our tryouts. A part of me is [envious] of them because they have so much to look forward to for the rest of this season and for the next three seasons. “It’s starting to hit me that I’m a senior. A senior. That can’t be true. I’m going through my ‘last’ of everything; I’m trying to take it all in, enjoy every moment. It’s been great, being a part of Lake Forest High School golf teams, experiencing the things I’ve experienced with my teammates. Golf is a huge part of my life.” Her 2015 summer season of tournament golf was a steady one; she reached the quarterfinals of the Chick Evans Junior Amateur Championship at Itasca Country Club, and she finished fifth (80-77) at the State Junior Championship at the University of Illinois Orange Course in Champaign. Her senior season of high school golf has been a steady one. “Steady one” is a newly accepted synonym for “Emily Young” in golf circles.
isn’t like that. She talks, loosens up everybody on the team.” Young follows golfers on the professional tours. Reigning Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth is 22 years old. Young turns 18 on October 18. “He is so well-liked, isn’t he?” Young says. “And he’s gracious. I love him. I love the way Jordan plays and the way he carries himself.” Young is also a big Stephen Young fan. Stephen is Emily’s younger brother, a 6-foot eighthgrader, a golfer, a basketball player. Basketball is his main sport. He plays power forward for his travel basketball team. “We get along great. We’re really close,” Emily says. Emily Young took the ACT on Sept. 12, a Saturday. It meant she would have to miss a golf invitational at Bonnie Brook Golf Course in Waukegan. Her reaction to the imminent break from competitive golf, days before the invite: “I’m bummed.” Well into the back nine of her high school years, Young hasn’t pinned down her intended major field of study in college. She is not alone. She is 17, remember. All she knows for sure is her love for learning is right up there with her love for shooting a string of birdies on any course, on any day. “I love to read,” Young says. “I know, when I get to college, I’ll fall in love with something and I’ll major in that something. I’ll figure it out. It might be cool to get into marketing or journalism. “I am,” the crack speller adds, “an Englishy person.” Notable: LFHS beat visiting Lakes and host Lake Zurich High SPELLBOUND: Emily Young of the Scouts follows through on her swing during earlier action this fall.

Smooth in transition Hilpusch proves to be a critical thread for resurgent Ramblers BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
J
ulian Hilpusch heard Nick Goschi’s pitch last winter and thought, Why not? Goschi wanted Hilpusch, a Loyola Academy soccer player, to play ping pong for the club team at the school. The good friends, paddles in hands, had battled often in basements. Hilpusch joined the club and swung away at No. 3 singles and No. 3 doubles. Goschi cracked winners at No. 5 singles. They were sophomores then. “Nick convinced me,” Hilpusch, a Wilmette resident, recalls. “I had played ping pong at least once a week, usually on the weekend, with friends.” Recruiter of the Year has to go to Goschi, paddles down. Goschi and Hilpusch, blessed with a vicious forehand, and the rest of the team competed at the state ping pong tournament last winter. All they did was … win it. Loyola Academy is now getting a lot of mileage out of Hilpusch’s legs. The 6-foot-1, 150-pound junior midfielder has been an integral contributor during the Ramblers’ 5-4-2 start under first-year boys soccer coach Baer Fisher. LA’s final record last fall: 3-14. LA surpassed last year’s win total this year when it thumped St. Francis de Sales 7-0 on Sept. 10. “His ability on the ball, his skill on the ball — Julian is a difference-maker for us,” Fisher says. “He strikes the ball better than a lot of kids do. He really knows how to crack it. He’s got good Head-turner: Julian Hilpusch of the Ramblers directs the ball during a match against Mather. The Ramblers vision.” have already won five matches, surpassing last year’s total by two. PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEORGE PFOERTNER
Hilpusch ranks in the top two among teammates in points (goals and assists). The Ramblers’ other top scorers are junior forward Sean Hickey, a captain, and freshman midfielder David Gripman. Hilpusch, on an assist from Hickey, booted the goal in LA’s 1-0 defeat of Mount Carmel on Sept. 12. The shot originated from the top of the 18-yard box. The shot was a left-footed shot. Hilpusch is right-footed. “Julian,” Hickey says, “controls the ball really well. He works hard, and he can create a lot of [scoring] opportunities. His ball skills are very good.” Hilpusch played half of last season, the second half, on varsity, serving as an attacking centermidfielder. He is more of an organizer this year, a stabilizing presence. A program with a sturdy midfield is a program with a healthy heartbeat. Hilpusch is Loyola Academy’s aorta. “I distribute the ball more, keep the defense intact and try to find ways to get the ball to our forwards,” Hilpusch says. Hilpusch’s father, Ralf, played prep soccer in his native Germany. Julian was five years old when he first introduced his feet to a soccer ball. His interest in the sport surged, paving the way to spots on FC United club teams. One of his club teams placed third at a regional tournament. Everybody needs an escape from the demands of rigorous, jam-packed weeks. Soccer is the state champion ping pong player’s primary escape. “Playing soccer clears my
mind,” Hilpusch says. “It’s what I really like about the sport. This is a big year, my junior year. There’s a lot going on: school, homework, soccer, being with friends, and I’m looking into playing college soccer.” Notable: LA tied visiting Niles North 0-0 on Sept. 18. A shot from a Rambler hit a crossbar with seven minutes left in the match. LA senior goalkeeper Nick Troiano stopped five shots. “It was a great game,” Ramblers coach Baer Fisher noted. … Loyola Academy (5-4-2) will face De Smet Jesuit High School in St. Louis on Sept. 26. LA was scheduled to play Christian Academy on Sept. 25 in the first contest of its two-day trip to Missouri. … Visiting Mather High School edged LA 1-0 on Sept. 16, scoring the goal in the third minute of the first half. “We had trouble connecting passes,” Fisher said. “We played better in the second half. Our shape was better in the second half. Christian [ Jimenez, a freshman midfielder] and Julian [Hilpusch] covered more ground, David [Gripman, a freshman midfielder] and Sean [Hickey, a junior forward] were more dangerous, and we created a couple of chances. Our backs did a better job of communicating.” … Fisher was an assistant men’s soccer coach at the University of Chicago. He is in his fourth year as the director of the boys program (U12-U18) at FC United. … Fisher, on what Hilpusch is like off the soccer pitches: “Witty.”
Scouts look to bounce back against Mustangs BY T.J. BROWN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
F
irst came the downpour. The deluge came the next day. As far as Lake Forest High School football coach Chuck Spagnoli was concerned, the cleanup was to begin immediately after the Scouts’ 42-7 loss at Libertyville ended. “They’re obviously a very good team, but our team didn’t show up
and that’s the bottom line,” Spagnoli said. “Our problems are our own internal problems that need to get corrected.” A thunderstorm on the night of Sept. 18 forced the game to be moved to an afternoon start on Sept. 19, reminiscent of the rivalry back when neither school had lights.
The Scouts’ defense had trouble slowing star quarterback Riley Lees (135 rushing, 138 passing yards) and fullback Noah Moderwell (1577). The Scouts provided reason for optimism on the opening drive when Matthew Clifford forced a Moderwell fumble that sophomore John Deering recovered on the
Lake Forest 9-yard line. Clifford led the team with seven tackles, while Andrew Athenson added five tackles. Lake Forest (2-2, 0-2) also was unable to sustain many drives against a stout Libertyville (4-0, 2-0) defense. “We never had any rhythm,” Spagnoli said. “We got into too
many long-yardage situations, and when you get into those situations, it makes it difficult to execute.” Quarterback Danny Carollo completed 15 of 32 passes for 127 yards. He tossed a 30-yard touchdown to Quinn Julian late in the third quarter. Julian caught five passes for 48 yards. He rushed for 59 yards on 10 carries.
Libertyville, a 7A semifinalist last year, might be a state title contender this year. The Scouts still have playoff hopes, though. “We’re going to be OK,” Spagnoli said. “We’re going to get a lot better.” The Scouts will look to rebound against visiting Mundelein on Sept. 25 (7:30 p.m.).

SUNDAY BREAKFAST
funny man Evanston resident and former Saturday Night Live star Tim Kazurinsky finds humor starring in Northlight Theatre’s Funnyman about an aging comedian trying to find his second act. Yet for him, the curtain has never really closed. By Selena Fragassi
"F
unny man” is a title that’s often been reserved for actor Tim Kazurinsky, but starring in the new production with the name Funnyman at Skokie’s Northlight Theatre gives it a whole new spin. In the story, written by playwright Bruce Graham, Kazurinsky stars as the agent of a maturing comedian (played by pal George Wendt) trying to find his second act in the hopes of reclaiming the infamy he once had. It’s loosely inspired by the careers of Buster Keaton and Bert Larr, but as Kazurinsky would admit, it also mirrors himself. “It definitely resonates,” he admits. “Here I am in my 60’s and still working and doing interesting new projects.” In the ‘80s, Kazurinsky was unmissable
as Carl Sweetchuck in the Police Academy films and as one of the regulars on Saturday Night Live. His trademark characters, like Madge the Chimp’s Husband on the soap opera sketch “I Married A Monkey” and the grimacing pun doctor Jack Badofsky on “ We e k e n d Update” gave him wattage in an ensemble that also produced stars Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, and Julie-Louis Dreyfus. Though the ’81-’84 seasons he was on were considered some of SNL’s overcast years, the time when producer Dick Ebersol ran the ship after Lorne Michael’s temporary departure, Kazurinsky made a name for himself and was recently ranked by Rolling Stone as number 32 of all 141 cast members upon the show’s 40th anniversary this past spring. “It shocked the hell out of me,” he admits. At the time of publication he was touring with the musical Wicked in the role of the Wizard of Oz and some of the cast members taped the article to his dressing room door. “I got some new found respect

with the kids on the tour who hadn’t even been born yet when I left the show.” In recent years, live theatre has become a newfound passion for the actor and former screenwriter, one that has given him considerable new cred. Encouraged by his actress wife Marcia and after first getting the bug
starring with Wendt in The Odd Couple several years ago, Kazurinsky made his Broadway debut in an Act Of God alongside Jim Parsons last May and says “I forgot how much fun it was.” The trade puts him back to his roots as an improv actor and alumnus of Second City where he was more or less discovered
by John Belushi after some happenstance circumstances. A native of Australia, Kazurinsky moved to the States by himself a week after his 16th birthday. He worked for a time as a young reporter for the Johnstown TribuneDemocrat and eventually found his way to Chicago in 1968 at the height of the Democratic National Convention, which was “the center of the universe and an exciting place to be. I never left,” says the now settled Evanston resident. His early love for reporting was the catalyst for the “S alute To J o u r n a l i s m” sketches on Saturday Night Live, that mocked executive Rupert Murdoch, and which are curiously now absent from the show’s archives. His work in journalism soon turned into a copywriting position for Leo Burnett, where a fear of presenting ad pitches led Kazurinsky to seek out improv classes. “It was nerve wracking to play Don Draper and get up there and sell your commercials, so I thought I’d take class at Second City, hoping that would get me over my nervousness,” he recalls.
“Here I am in my 60’s and still working and doing interesting new projects.” –Tim Kazurinsky “They offered me a job to actually be in front of people so I overcame my fear pretty well I guess.” Kazurinsky is the first to admit that his story, rare as it is, is all about “luck … if you told today’s young actors that I did not have to audition for Second City or Saturday Night Live they would freak out and want to strangle me.” Yet much like returning to the fold in Funnyman has reminded him, comedy is all about the timing, he says. “When opportunity knocks, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.” Funnyman plays at Northlight Theatre through October 18.
