t was the talk of the restaurant, Lovells of Lake Forest, for 16 years. An immense, magnificent 20-by-8-foot mural rested above and behind the main bar, greeting each patron, starting an instant conversation. It is dubbed, “The Steeds of Apollo.” The 1970 Apollo 13 mission crew patch was patterned after the mural, created by artist Lumen Martin Winter in 1969. The mural depicts several horses in flight, their legs in various stages of gallop high above Earth. “We threw the original plans for the building in the garbage can,” chef Jay Lovell, son of Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, recalls. “The original wouldn’t have been big enough for the mural, so we started over. The ceiling had to be three feet higher. Continued on PG 13

the family Farwell. He writes in his book that they came to Illinois in a covered wagon in 1838. They farmed land and made money, with son Charles bringing the farm’s wheat to Chicago markets. His younger brother John soon went to work in the dry goods business, earning $250 a year. But he married the boss’s daughter a year later, did well and, at one point, employed a young clerk named Marshall Field—they briefly traded as Farwell, Field and Company— before earning an estimated $7 million value as J.V. Farwell and Company by the mid-1860s. Charles went on to serve as a U.S. senator from Illinois. John served as Lake Forest mayor. “The descendants served the town, too,” Ebner said. “In the 1980s, John’s great grandson, Frank Farwell, served as mayor. So this family really watched over the community.” “The Farwells took bold steps

Cory was attentive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with! He was always quick to respond and very flexible with his scheduling so we could see properties even on short notice.

Deerpath Golf: Private Funding Considered BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

AKE FOREST — Residents who worried Deerpath Golf Course could close got reassurance from members of the Lake Forest City Council who suggested a public private partnership akin to those that restored Forest Park and saved Gorton Community Center as a potential solution. The council directed City Manager Robert Kiely Jr. to authorize a study through an outside consultant to develop a five-year plan on Deerpath’s future, which could lead to raising private money. “We can do something like we did at Gorton,” Alderman George Pandaleon said during a Finance Committee meeting Nov. 9 at the Municipal Services Building. “The community came together

for Gorton. Gorton raised $7 million. There was a $3 million endowment to provide for future needs.” Rumors of the course’s closure began last month and were emphatically denied by Alderman Tim Newman, the chairman of the city’s Golf Advisory Committee, both in a Daily North Shore story Oct. 27 and at a public forum Nov. 4 at Dickinson Hall. “Let me open by saying we are not closing the course,” Newman said at the Nov. 4 meeting. “We want a future for Deerpath Golf Course which is sustainable. We need a baseline to take to the City Council.” Kiely gave the aldermen and the crowd of more than 25 people who came to the meeting specifically to hear about the future of the course a financial history that showed a negative cash flow for the past four years. He pre-

sented the same financial spreadsheet he discussed at the Nov. 4 meeting. The spreadsheet showed actual performance for the past four years and a projection through 2020 showing a profitable operation before capital improvements are made and required bond payments funded. After those expenditures, the cash flow is negative. By the end of the city’s 2011 fiscal year, the course’s fund balance was depleted and the Parks and Recreation Department started making contributions, according to the spreadsheet. The $26,022 deficit in 2012 grew to over $200,000 in the last fiscal year. “Do we want a golf course as part of the city just like Gorton, the beach and all the other amenities we have?” Newman said after Kiely’s presentation. “I say yes.” Kathy McCombs, a regular at

“We want a future for Deerpath Golf Course which is sustainable.” –Tim Newman Deerpath who said she was there representing 140 members of the course’s ladies’ leagues, reinforced Newman’s statement about the course being a necessary amenity for the community. She wanted to know the temperature of the council. “I was disappointed more aldermen weren’t there,” McCombs said of the Nov. 4 meeting. “We had a good course and we have to get it

We’ve got you,

back,” she added referring to the declining condition of Deerpath. Though some of the aldermen acknowledged the financial challenges, they were also distressed by the some of the conditions of the golf facility. Alderman Prue Beidler said she was not a golfer but took a look at the course and said she felt it was lacking if non residents — who make up approximately half the customers — will return to play again. Alderman Michael Adelman gave a graphic example of the kind of situation that would drive away many a golfer. He said he observed occasions when the course ran out of electric carts three to four days in a two-week period. “They were telling people to start walking down the fairway and they would run a cart out to them as soon as one was available,” Adelman said. Beidler reminded her colleagues

ne Divi

and your bed, covered.

of the success the community had with a public-private partnership to restore Forest Park. “Forest Park is a gem and it was restored with private money,” Beidler said. “It was in need and the money was raised (mostly) with private funds.” “Gorton was worse,” Pandaleon added. Beidler offered a formula for raising the money from Lake Forest citizens. “It’s not ‘do you love your golf course,’ ” Beidler said. “It’s ‘do you love your community.’ We’re going to need endowment money. Endowment money is tricky. It’s the hardest money to raise. I think we can to it.” Kiely said he would pursue the consultant contract to develop a five-year plan for Deerpath. He said it would be ready in time for discussions about the budget for the next fiscal year.

When Rachel Cantor, a senior at North Shore Country Day in Winnetka, found herself having one such conversation with her friend Sophia Dawn, they started to lay out a way to turn that “should be” into a reality. That’s how The Dawtor was born. “It’s important to be informed about the world around you,” Cantor says. “Most teenage girls don’t tend to read the newspaper. We talked about why that is. Why don’t these girls read the news? We came to this conclusion that LAKE FOREST Cont. from PG 1 other Presbyterians. “There were lots of ravines and heavy woods,” explained Laurie Stein, curator of the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society. Stein said that an association purchased land and divided lots. One site became Lake Forest Academy. Another became Lake Forest College, which was originally supposed to be called Lind University after lumber baron Sylvester Lind. But he suffered a financial setback in the panic of 1857. Stein said Lind is said to have first noticed Lake Forest during one of his rides from Chicago to Green Bay. “They wanted a town that would be at one with nature and be somewhat private and secluded,” Stein said. “In the original town plan, there was only one or two entrances. They wanted to live and be educated in private, so privacy was always a value.” Lake Forest incorporated in 1861 with the motto, love of science and nature, which remains Lake Forest’s creed. Today, the population hovers at 20,000 and, even in the early years, it was an affluent community, though not in the western part known as Everett where immigrants lived. Stein said that many Lake Forest residents were educated migrants, such as reverends, who had been educated in the east. Early wealth was modest. The predominantly Presbyterian townspeople were tra-

the language is not geared toward a teenage audience—it’s complicated. So we decided to create an online blog that posts current event summaries for teenage girls in a way that appeals to them through pop culture references, jokes, and easy to understand language.” With headlines like “@ thedeependofthepool…” for a story about the Puerto Rican government defaulting on a loan, or a story on Obama’s clean energy initiatives containing a sentence like “…announced a long range plan to kick carbon emissions a$$,” this is global news interpreted by teens and restructured for a teenage audience. Some stories are broken up into a single paragraph, very geared toward the sound bite culture of

“In the original town plan, there was only one or two entrances. They wanted to live and be educated in private, so privacy was always a value.” –Laurie Stein ditional. They attended church often and disdained displays of wealth. Puritanism applied to social behavior, too. “Dancing in that era was looked upon as the last form of wickedness,” wrote one Farwell family member about Lake Forest in the 1870s and 1880s, “Mr. [Devillo] Holt [a lumber merchant and town founder] said he would rather see all his children in their coffins than to see them dancing.”

the internet. At the end of each story they link to the more traditionally formatted news source from which they culled the story,

in case their teenage readers want to click through and try the other version. But most of their audience will probably want to stick

with the site that calls a police shooting crazier than Lolla or Osheaga (two large-scale music festivals). Cantor and Dawn originally met at a social entrepreneurship summer camp called Summerfuel, a three-week program at Yale devoted to helping the develop the next generation of business innovators. In their desire to start a project together it was their mutual love of reading, writing, and staying informed that drove the development of The Dawtor. Cantor has spent most of her time of late rebranding The Dawtor from locating a site designer to finding the perfect fonts for the new version of the site they launched on November 1. Dawn, who lives in Manhattan, has taken on the task of managing their

That fundamentalism would wither, at least in private, with the onset of hedonism embodied in three people, whom some of the era might describe as fallen women, who are famously associated with Lake Forest: Marion Lambert, a teen whom some believed was murdered, dancer Irene Castle, immortalized in the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers picture, The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939) and Ginevra King, best known as the inspiration for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s character Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. Ebner said that Lake Forest became a recurring place in Fitzgerald’s fiction, such as The Beautiful and the Damned, This Side of Paradise and his Josephine stories. Stein said it’s King who symbolizes the lifestyle associated with Lake Forest. “Fitzgerald came to visit her here in 1916,” Stein said. “After that, he recorded in his journal that poor boys shouldn’t marry rich girls. That’s why his relationship with King through letters is seen as foundational by literary scholars.” Ginevra King married twice to Lake Foresters, once to William Mitchell and the second time to John T. Pirie, heir to the Carson Pirie Scott fortune. Ebner said that King once hosted a dinner party at her home on Rosemary Road, which was robbed, during the depression. Apparently, one of the guests was able to slip out to call the police, who foiled the robbery.

“From what I understand, Ginevra King was a happy person,” Stein said. “She was a typical Lake Forest woman, involved in philanthropy and she liked sports, such as horseback riding and golf. She put in countless hours volunteering for St. Luke’s Hospital in Chicago and the American Cancer Society. She was also active in working to repeal Prohibition.” King died in 1980. Stein said that she’s buried in Lake Forest Cemetery. Another storied Lake Forest woman associated with an affair has a more tragic ending. Eighteen-year-old Marion Lambert, the only child of a gardener, was romantically involved with William Orpet, son of the caretaker for Cyrus McCormack, Jr., heir to International Harvester. One morning before school started, Lambert, who attended Deerfield-Shields High School (now Highland Park High School) met Orpet, a student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. They had been intimate. She apparently thought she might be pregnant. Marion Lambert never came back. Her father organized a search and found his daughter’s body in the snowy Helms Woods, south of where Barat College once was (now, it’s a subdivision). There was evidence of cyanide poisoning. Orpet was tracked down as the main suspect for murder and put on trial—the case was covered in newspapers across the

country—and Orpet was eventually acquitted because the jury concluded that Marion Lambert took the cyanide on purpose. The Orpet family left Lake Forest. They moved to Santa Barbara, California, where the father, Edward Orpet, became superintendent of parks. Another famous Lake Forester, dancer and flapper Irene Castle, lived in town when she was married to her third husband, Frederick McLaughlin, a famous polo player who served as an Army major with the Blackhawk division in World War I. McLaughlin was the first owner of the Chicago Blackhawks and Irene designed the hockey team’s first sweater. Castle lived in Lake Forest and founded the dog rescue group Orphans of the Storm with her friend Helen Swift. Stein said that the woman who popularized the Fox Trot and the Tango also mainstreamed wearing a headband around her head after she bobbed her hair following surgery. The accessory became known as the Castle band. Lake Forest hosted a prince and a president, too. Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-1881) visited his former Ohio friend, Associated Press president and then-Lake Forest Mayor William Henry Smith in 1878. The Prince of Wales visited Lake Forest in 1924—before he was crowned king only to abdicate the title— as a guest of meat packing titan Louis Swift.

growing base of teenage writers. “We knew that there are a lot of talented teens and we want all of our writers to be teens,” Cantor says. “I’ve been emailing so many teachers and newspaper editors from different schools saying— This is what we’re all about and we would love to have some of your students write for us, let me know if anyone is interested. Or even summer programs like Cherubs (a summer journalism program) at Northwestern. What’s really cool about it is that we have a writing staff from Manhattan, Atlanta, England, India, people who come from different backgrounds and places so we come to a greater understanding of topics.” For more information visit thedawtor.com. Lake Forest attracted top businessmen such as Swift, fellow meat-packing industrialist Philip Armour and other titans. Ebner said that citizens’ devotion to the town’s founding feature—distinctive landscape design—endures. “Lake Forest took Forest Park , which was laid out by Almerin Hotchkiss and is adjacent to Lake Michigan, overlooking the lake, and refurbished it with public and private money,” Ebner said. “They cleared a lot of brush from the bluff. Now, you can see Lake Michigan for the first time in 100 years.” As a result, Lake Forest’s squares, parks and green spaces are uniquely instilled with the aims and legacies of those who underwrite and use them. Some of the first golf links were laid out by Charles Blair MacDonald in Lake Forest at a private property and the Farwells’ son-in-law, Hobart Chatfield-Taylor brought golf to Lake Forest using seven tomato cans as holes on the Farwell property in 1892. Or, consider the property owned by Albert Blake Dick, the late entrepreneur who invented the mimeograph and ran his AB Dick Company in town long after his innovation had revolutionized business procedures and logistics. After Mr. Dick died, his son and widow donated the property to Lake Forest Hospital. The inventor’s house inspired the hospital’s architecture.

NEWS LOVELL Cont. from PG 1 “It’s beautiful, striking … huge, big, prominent,” he adds. “The mural was the focal point of the restaurant. It was all you saw as soon as you entered the restaurant. My wait staff was well-versed in the history of the mural, always ready to talk about it, always prepared to answer questions about it. Horse people appreciated it. People posed for pictures in front of it.” Jay Lovell was an artist in his pre-chef and pre-restaurateur years, a handler of palettes before heeding the call to sate palates. The Lake Forest resident produced paintings, some oil, some watercolor. He dabbled in graphics. He sculpted. The chef formerly known as the artist recognized the pull of “The Steeds of Apollo” from the moment he welcomed his first diner at Lovells of Lake Forest. Appreciated it, too. The restaurant closed in April.

The mural needed a new home. “I couldn’t take it home,” Jim Lovell, 87, says, laughing. It now rests in the lobby of the James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago. Jim Lovell donated it to the center. It was mounted in the time for the fifth anniversary of the facility, on Oct. 1. The mural continues to start instant conversations. “It’s in a really good place,” says Jay Lovell, co-owner (with his wife, Darice), of Jay Lovell’s Fresh Homemade Seasonal restaurant in Highwood. “It will be there for many, many years. Forever, I hope.” The mural’s backstory is a captivating one, part serendipitous, part Hollywood. Jim Lovell and his Apollo 13 crew mates, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise, were staying at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, in 1969, when they first got an eyeful of the mural. They asked Winter to create an insignia from the theme of “The Steeds of Apollo” artwork for their mission.

Hanks had portrayed Lovell in Apollo 13, the movie, directed by Ron Howard, about the perilous journey around the moon. Hanks then had his wife, Rita Wilson, and her mother attend the auction. The women bought the mural. Hanks, aware Lovell and his family were about to open a restaurant in Lake Forest, had the mural shipped to an art warehouse in Chicago. Hanks contacted Lovell, unaware of what the actor had purchased and arranged. Lovell entered the art warehouse.

UnIted YOU stand Buying a new home can be an exciting prospect. You’ve done your homework you know what you want; you just have to find it. Everything is negotiable except the location of the house, and your Realtor® can help you with sorting through the rest of your considerations when choosing a home—provided that you have come to a clear understanding and are able to unify your efforts together. After all—your happiness and successful closing is the end goal for both of you. Your Realtor® will know what to keep an eye out for, what the seller is willing to compromise on and what they are firm on. There are a few things you need to remember when house hunting: • Always be united. If the seller sees that one person loves the house while the other person is on the fence, they may use this information to sway one or influence the other. • Leave your ego at home. If you’re looking at a home and you like it, but there’s something that doesn’t appeal to you, ask the question nicely about it. Being rude gets you nothing except the likelihood of paying more for the home than you would have paid otherwise. It also makes the seller reluctant to try to work with you to reach a compromise. • Be skeptical. Not ‘I don’t believe anything you say’ skeptical, but a little skepticism is healthy and can help with the negotiations.

KEY TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE

t seemed that before the Superman cape had dried out from a rainy afternoon of Halloween trick-or-treating, my family was watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. The story, produced for televi-

sion in 1973, is a predictable tale of how the Peanuts gang ends up spending the holiday together in Charlie Brown’s backyard. Comic relief comes from Snoopy’s preparation of the meal: buttered toast, popcorn

and jellybeans. After more than a few complaints about the meal and a short retelling of the Pilgrim’s voyage on the Mayflower, it’s Peppermint Patty’s sidekick Marcie who reminds the gang of why they have gathered: “Thanksgiving is more than eating, Chuck. You heard what Linus was saying out there. Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together.” It’s a good reminder for us all, while we hustle to prepare the requested vegetable side dish and Christmas list of the children’s most wanted toys before our trek to celebrate Thanksgiving with our aunts, uncles and cousins. But science suggests I should squirrel Marcie’s advice away for the other 364 days of the year. Scientists at the University of Georgia found that gratitude consistently predicts how happy we will be in our marriages. This conclusion was drawn from researchers’ questioning of 468 married people about their finances, communication style and how grateful they felt toward their partner. It seems that saying “thank you” frequently demonstrates gratitude and appreciation that can protect couples from the damage caused in an argument. “Even if a couple is experiencing distress and difficulty in other areas, gratitude in the relationship can help promote

Added associate professor Ted Futris, “All couples have disagreements and argue.

Assistant superintendent for Sunset Ride School District 29 Mary Frances Greene told me about the kindergartners’ Gratitude Journals. Once or twice a week as part of their literacy education the children are encouraged to write down what they are thankful for. They begin this exercise in the fall, when they learn about the Native Americans’ gratitude for our Earth. The kindergartners’ journaling “usually starts with things like their toys, but gradually we talk

about and get them thinking about things they are thankful for which we can not buy and replace,” Greene explained. “It’s an opportunity for the children to develop the ability to think outside of themselves and their own needs, and slowly we see them all start sentences like ‘I am thankful for so-and-so because he is my friend.” It’s a good lesson for the kindergartners, and for thirtysomethings like me, during this season of Thanksgiving.ntimate with their partner.

SPORTS

PLAYING IT SMART Innovative Ramblers take down highly skilled H-F in state quarterfinal BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

or Loyola Academy’s Thomas Smart, this was like stretching a routine single into a double. Without the head-first slide. His snazzy double move caught everybody in the stadium off guard — especially the HomewoodFlossmoor defensive backfield. Smart, who doubles as a highly touted baseball player, wound up being totally uncovered in the left corner of the end zone for an 18-yard score with 33 seconds left in the first half. After the game, the LA senior wideout, who has developed into quite the home-run hitter on the gridiron (11 TD catches), came clean. He touched them all. Including this: He said the play was an ad lib. Drawn up on the fly. And what did LA offensive coordinator Tyler Vradenburg say about it? Don’t look at me. “You’ll have to talk to No. 2 [LA quarterback Emmett Clifford] about that,” said the LA assistant, following the Ramblers thrilling 34-28 come-from-behind victory over visiting Homewood-Flossmoor in a Class 8A state quarterfinal matchup on Nov. 14. The senior QB, winner of the 2015 Chicago Catholic League Blue Division Lawless Award (Player of the Year), drew it up. He went rogue, if you will. He went outside the playbook. “He called it the whole way,” Vradenburg added. ““I trust Emmett explicitly. He’s as much of a film rat as I am. He’s as a smart as they come.” Smart, who plays third for the LA baseball team, was very complicit in this impromptu play. He made that double move like he was turning two from the hot corner. It was slick — with a trace of tomfoolery. H-F’s defensive backs should sue for mal-football-practice. Smart was not the only one to sell the play. The play’s inventor, Clifford, was Second City acting class brilliant, when he dipped his right shoulder and faked a short pass to Smart. “Emmett thought they might try and jump the route,” Vradenburg said.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT: Thomas Smart of the Ramblers hauls in an 18-yard touchdown pass just before halftime. He had six catches for 81 yards in the LA’s state quarterfinal win over Homewood-Flossmoor. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOEL LERNER.

They jumped the route. Moments later, Clifford floated a perfect touch pass to his extremely wide-open wideout. “They were playing very aggressively,” said Clifford, who now has completed 156 of 222 passes (70 percent) for 2,161 yards and 31 touchdowns. “It worked out.” Scoring just before halftime and cutting the lead to 14-12 proved to be critical for LA. More magic from Clifford, Smart and a ton of their teammates proved necessary to keep the Ramblers’ unbeaten record (12-0) intact and advance them to a state semifinal game against host Palatine (10-2) on Nov. 21 (5 p.m.). LA came up with its most prized possession of the season in the fourth quarter. Trailing 21-19 with after three periods, the Ramblers put together a 19-play,

97-yard scoring drive. Clifford capped the series by rolling out to his right and flipping a short pass to running back Jack Loper for a 10-yard touchdown with 4:57 left to play. “We just kept pounding and pounding,” said Vradenburg. “And the kids kept making plays.” “It was a character-building drive. Unbelievable,” said LA head coach John Holecek. “When we got the ball, I told Tyler (Vradenburg), ‘How about a 12-minute drive?’ ’’ Close enough. The series lasted seven minutes and one second. The key plays included a couple of QB scrambles by Clifford and a couple of first-down receptions (13 and 27 yards) by Smart. “That was the most adversity that we’ve had to face this year,” said Smart, who now has a team-

high 47 catches for 639 yards. “We trust one another. We believe in one another.” Smart, who was named to the all-conference team a few weeks ago, finished the game with six catches for 81 yards. He had missed the two previous state playoff games with a concussion. “In Thursday’s practice, he had two or three drops in our twominute drill,” said Holecek. “But today, he returned to his old form.” With his wide and high catch radius and sure hands, Holecek thought that Smart — 3 catches, 32 yards during the 2014 season — would have a breakout senior season. “He’s so gifted,” the coach said. “So physically talented.” Smart has earned the trust of his quarterback. “He runs crisp routes, and he

can go up and get it,” said Clifford. “He’s a special receiver.” Vradenburg is sold on No. 86. “I know he’s a baseball guy,” said the LA assistant. “Baseball is his first love. That’s his passion.” But Smart has managed to transfer at least part of that passion to football. “He’s so unassuming and quiet. I can’t get anything [words, sentences, or paragraphs] out of him,” Vradenburg added. “But I also know that he likes to shine in the moment. He’s a big-play guy.” Notable: In its first 11 games this season, Loyola had done something truly remarkable. The Ramblers never trailed. But that streak ended when the Vikings (10-2) went up 7-6 with 5:52 left in the second quarter. In fact, H-F held a 21-12 advantage early in the third quarter.

… “That team has so many homerun hitters. There’s so much talent over there. I knew it was going to take a lot to win this game. I thought it would be a nail-biter,” said LA head coach John Holecek. … LA’s defensive secondary — Bobby Desherow, Sam Taylor, Joey Zitella and Ian Swenson — may have a lost a few battles but it ultimately got the job done against 6-foot-2 Kendrick Pryor (9 catches, 169 yards), who has been recruited by the University of Wisconsin. … One of the plays of the day for H-F came later in the third quarter, when Prior caught a 51-yard pass on 2ndand-41 at the H-F 30-yard line. … LA cornerback Sam Taylor made a play which shouldn’t be forgotten. On the first snap of the fourth quarter, H-F had fourth-and-two at the LA two-yard line. Pryor was targeted by Gray, and he just missed hauling in a leaping pass deep in the end zone. Taylor pushed him out of bounds, and the pass was ruled incomplete. ... LA also benefitted from a sack attack. After taking a 27-21 lead with 4:52 left to play, LA’s defensive unit turned up the heat. On consecutive plays, Frank Doherty and Jack Hough shot through and recorded 12-yard sacks. Then, on a fourth-and-32 at the H-F 18, Desherow broke up a long pass intended for Pryor. … LA senior running back Dara Laja was his productive self. He carried the ball 30 times for 144 yards. His six-yard TD run with 1:22 left to play sealed the win. He now has 1,465 rushing yards on the season… This was a comeback game for senior running back Jack Loper (8 carries, 29 yards). He had been sidelined with a left forearm injury, which he sustained in the second game of the season. … Clifford threw for 159 yards (16-23-1) and added 53 rushing yards, including an eight-yard TD run in the second quarter. … LA’s tackle leaders were Graham Repp (9), Anthony Romano (8), Hough (6) and Doherty (5). Doherty had two sacks and one tackle for loss. Desherow also had a sack, while John Shannon had a fumble recovery. … Palatine advanced to the state semifinal after rallying late to beat visiting Marist 28-24 on Nov. 14.

GREEN MEANS GO — THE DISTANCE New Trier’s Green embraces the challenges of lengthy races BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

ulia Green swims yards, serious yards, for the New Trier swimming and diving team. Lots and lots of yards. The 5-foot-8 senior, at last weekend’s Glenbrook North Sectional, qualified to compete in the 200yard freestyle, 500-yard freestyle, 200-yard freestyle relay and 400yard free style relay events at this weekend’s state meet in the home water. Goldfish live in bowls. Green lives in pools, her address 25 N. Any Lane half the time, 25 S. Any Lane the other half. “Distance swimmers, we joke, don’t choose to be distance swimmers,” Green says. “Coaches chose us to be distance swimmers.” Green, though, does not mind the challenges of her watery workload. She actually relishes them, dives right in, with vigor, with desire. Distance swimming runs in the family. Her mother, Marcia Cleveland, swam the English Channel in 1990. The English Channel is 19 nautical miles, or 38,000 yards, super serious yards. Her father, Mark Green, prefers to do the distance thing on land, having completed the Chicago Marathon in October. “My dad’s job, when it comes to my swimming,” Julia, starting to laugh, says, “is to hold the towel for me. He came up with that job; I didn’t.” Julia Green did yeoman’s service in lanes for her crew of Trevians at the Glenbrook North Sectional in Northbrook last weekend, touching second in the 200 free (1:52.2) and second in the 500 free (5:05.97) and helping a pair of relays (200 free, 400 free) set pool records on Nov. 14. Four swims, four state-qualifying efforts. Her time in the 200 free ranks eighth among all state qualifiers in the event. “When I was young [in the fifth and sixth grades] I wasn’t afraid to go out, swim hard and hold on. That’s why my club coach [Rick Peterson, then with New Trier Swim Club] placed me in

JV swim coach, says. “She’s kind, determined, a little spicy, and she’s curious, with a strong personality. Julia is a good leader, a good teammate, and she’s been really good with our JV swimmers, helpful and supportive.” Notable: New Trier advanced 13 entrants to this weekend’s state meet in the home natatorium, including the two individual berths (200 free, 500 free) earned by Green at last weekend’s Glenbrook North Sectional, won by Loyola Academy (268 points); NT (261.5 points) finished runner-up on Nov. 14. Green, Sophia Girgenti, Olivia Lantry and Lydia O’Connell combined for a poolrecord time of 1:36.13 in the 200 free relay; Green anchored the victorious 400 free relay (poolrecord 3:29.35, with Girgenti, O’Connell and Vivian Wu); the 200 medley unit of Girgenti, O’Connell, Kathryn Tao and Emily George finished runner-up in a state-qualifying 1:45.16. NT freshman Jessie Creed was dominant again off the boards, overwhelming the diving field with a state-best point total of 548.7. NT senior diver Sophie Conley (third place, 485.9 points) also advanced to state.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

SPORTS

HAVING A LASK-ING EFFECT Highland Park swimmer caps career in record-setting fashion BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

am Lask got out of a pool last weekend, having raced in the 100-yard breaststroke at the Glenbrook North sectional swim meet, her final race at her final prep swim meet. The Highland Park High School senior had roiled water in Lane 2, an outside assignment. Lask’s ninth-place time of 1:08.24 in the event wasn’t just significantly faster than her seed time of 1:11.48 on Nov. 14. It was also a school-record time. The swimmer, dripping and elated, had become a walker on a pool deck in Northbrook, as thrilled teammates and coaches approached her and surrounded her and congratulated her in the noisy natatorium. Lask then walked out of the pool area and entered a hallway, noise abating with each step. She spotted her parents, Andy and Amy. The smiling parents and the smiling swimmer/ walker hugged in the hallway. “Not a word had to be said during that hug,” Lask, back on deck, recalled a few minutes later. A toe dip did not lead to Lask’s maiden voyage as a competitive swimmer. A doctor, several years ago, urged Lask to give the sport a try. Lask was about to become a freshman at the time. Lask had also just been diagnosed with scoliosis (curvature of the spine). She went out for swimming her freshman year. Enjoyed it, loved it. She underwent back surgery after her first swimming season and swam for three more HP teams from 2013-15, the last

(13th place). “It helps, visualization,” Gelberg, interested in continuing to swim at one of three colleges (Carthage, UW-La Crosse or Ithaca), said. “We usually did it before practices. Coach [Block, a highly successful masters swimmer] liked telling us what she learned from her [masters] coach. She knows so much about the sport, and she loves passing along that knowledge to her swimmers. She’s a great coach, a great motivator.” Jonathan Roby, a 2010 Glenbrook North graduate, coaches the Giants’ divers. He watched HP senior Avery Spitz qualify for state for a second straight year on Nov. 14. Spitz placed sixth (406.45 points) to earn the program’s lone state berth last weekend. The highlight of her final sectional meet was her fifth dive, a reverse1 ½ (degree of difficulty: 2.1). “We’d been working hard on Sam Lask of the Giants drives to the finish line in the 100 breaststroke at the Glenbrook North Sectional. The senior set a school record that one all year,” Roby said. “She in the event. She also was a member of the 200 medley relay which set a school record.

Scouts finish in high standing at Vernon Hills Sectional BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

ach climbed a starter block after the diving segment and after races, a necessary act, in order to receive a medal for diving or swimming well and qualifying for this weekend’s state meet at New Trier. Lake Forest High School Scouts ascended, ascended and ascended some more at the Vernon Hills Sectional last weekend. LFHS entrants mountaintopped the field, winning eight of 12 events and totaling 380

points to easily win the sectional title on Nov. 14. Runnerup Libertyville finished with 253 points. Scouts senior Reilly Lanigan and junior Daria Pyshnenko each won two events and swam on a pair of victorious relays (200- and 400-yard freestyle). Lanigan, a University of Notre Dame recruit, touched first in the 200 free (1:49.17) and in the 500 free (4:50.84), each time ranking first among state qualifiers — from

all 16 sectional meets — in each event. Pyshnenko won the 50 free (22.69) and 100 free (50.91) races; nobody in Illinois swam a faster 50 free than she did last weekend. Lake Forest senior Carmen White earned a meet-best 481 points in the diving segment, and junior teammate Josephine Annin sped to first place in the 100 butterfly (57.07). The Scouts’ other state-qualifying efforts: junior Madeline

Smith (50 free, 100 free, 200 free relay, 400 free relay); senior Haley Nelson (100 backstroke, 200 medley relay); junior Olivia Lomax (all three relays); senior Anika Boyd (diving); junior Ella Needler (200 IM, 100 back); Annin (200 medley relay); and junior Kayla Smith (200 medley relay). The 400 free relay of Pyshnenko, Madeline Smith, Lomax and Lanigan clocked a 3:29.26, second only to the time (3:26.68)

a Fenwick unit recorded at another sectional on Nov. 14. Madeline Smith ranks fifth among all state qualifiers in the 100 free (51.24) and sixth in the 50 free (23.6). Scouts junior Ana Kahout qualified for state in all four Athletes with Disabilities events: 200 free, 50 free, 100 free and 100 breast. LFHS, the reigning NSC Meet champion, placed fourth at state last year.

Woodlands Academy Wildcats junior Caylee Hamilton qualified for state in the 100 fly and in the 50 free for the second year in a row at the Vernon Hills Sectional last weekend. She finished third in 100 fly (58.38) and sixth in the 50 free (24.39). The state meet at New Trier starts on Nov. 20. Diving preliminaries begin at 9 a.m., swim prelims at 3:30 p.m.

CAPTAIN COOL

Voss commands attention as Loyola claims second straight sectional crown BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

t is the day after the 2014 girls state swimming and diving meet, at Loyola Academy diver Katie Rourke’s house in Glenview. Rourke and many of her LA teammates are gathered at a table in the morning, some having slept for hours at the sleep-over, some having napped for minutes. They are at the table to eat breakfast, laugh, relive what happened the day before in a natatorium in Evanston and gladly deal with goose bumps all over again. In the middle of the table sits a trophy, their trophy, the table’s temporary centerpiece. Eggs, toast, juice, muffins, fruit, firstplace prize. Yummy. Claire Voss, then a Loyola Academy junior and partly responsible for the presence of the hardware signifying the program’s first state championship, is there, utensils in hands, eyes on the prize. She had swum the breaststroke leg of the Ramblers’ fifth-place 200-yard medley relay team. It is Nov. 12, a couple of days before a 2015 sectional swimming and diving meet, nearly a year later. Voss, now a 5-foot-10 senior, stands on her school’s pool deck, minutes removed from the end of a practice. She relives the final race of the 2014 state meet, the 400 freestyle relay, when four of her teammates only had to complete the event without getting disqualified. Do that and the Ramblers would get to exit as state champions. Maria Kyle (Class of ’16), Ella Tierney (Class of ’17), Olivia Andrew (Class of ’17) and Grace Tierney (Class of ’15) won it instead, in an aggressive, scintillating time of 3:27.05. Voss smiles. Voss shivers. Dang those goose bumps. “I’m getting them again,” Voss, a captain, admits. Voss is the breaststroke leg on the Ramblers’ 200 medley relay. Again. For the third year in row. Voss is the Ramblers’ top 100yard breaststroker. Again. She finished 26th in the event at state a year ago, with a time of 1:07.08. At the Glenbrook North Sectional last weekend, she went 1:04.31, a personal-best time, a first-place time. Her time ranks eighth among all state qualifiers

in the event. “Great leader, great teammate, talented athlete,” Ramblers swim coach Mike Hengelmann says of Voss, also a top-notch water polo player, set to earn her fourth varsity letter in the sport next spring. “And she’s a gamer. Her breakout season was her sophomore season, and now she’s having her best season. She’s stronger this year. “Claire,” the coach adds, “is a fun kid, with a great sense of humor. She’s also genuine, very genuine, the kind of kid you’d want to coach forever.” Voss lives in Wrigleyville, her home neighborhood since birth. Hengelmann, no kidding, used to live three blocks from the Voss

house. One of Voss’ favorite activities is to bike, either before church or after church on Sundays, to Shedd Aquarium on Lake Shore Drive with one of her younger sisters, Lauren. They pedal atop the Lakefront Trail. “It’s beautiful,” Voss says of the trail’s eye candy, or Chicago’s magnificent skyline. She will be surrounded by more beauty, several states away, beginning in the fall of 2016. Voss committed to swim for the women’s program at San Diego State University. Oddly, and impressively, Voss, the reigning Metro Catholic Athletic Conference champion in the 100 breaststroke, has never trained with a swim club in an offseason. She

swims for her school in the fall. She plays water polo for her school in the spring. “That shows you, that’s proof, how naturally talented Claire is as a swimmer,” Ramblers sophomore Cassidy Coughlin, primarily a sprint freestyler, says. “She’s also one of the hardest workers I know. Her times [in the 100 breaststroke] … insane.” Her barks at practices … timely. Voss likes to lighten things up in the home natatorium on occasion, busting the silence and monotony of a hard set with a piercing “Arf!” It startles some, the sound of a lone dog in a kennel suddenly reverbing from the deep end of the pool to the shallow end. It cracks up others.

It’s Voss’ rallying yip, always Voss’. She unleashed her very first “Arf!” during a water polo practice last spring. “It makes a lot of us smile and laugh,” Coughlin says. “Claire is always smiling, always happy, always positive, no matter what is going on. She connects well with the younger swimmers. When I was a freshman, she was the first person to talk to me. She made me feel comfortable, right away. She was welcoming, involving, inviting.” Voss’ mom, Sue, grew up in Ohio and swam from the ages of four to 18. She gave diving a try. Claire Voss gave diving a try in the sixth grade. Her father, Peter, struck winners on tennis courts

for York High School in Elmhurst. “My mom,” Claire says, “thinks I’m going to swim and play water polo in college. I’ll swim, for sure, and maybe major in biology or psychology.” Voss, not too long ago, was sitting in a math class at Loyola Academy when it hit her, “it” being the last handful of laps in her prep swim career. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick … “Two more meets left [now one more, the state meet],” she says. “Only two. My heart … it was beating so fast.” LA’s swims, at the Glenbrook North Sectional, on Nov. 14: fast. Andrew was brilliant, setting a pool record with her 1:54.11 in the 200 free and topping the field in the 100 free (52.0). She also swam on a pair of runner-up relays (200 and 400 free). Ella Tierney demolished the pool mark in the 500 free, touching in 5:01.56, more than eight seconds faster than the old mark. Ramblers sophomore Shannon Kearney established another pool record in the 100 back (57.21). “What a day,” Hengelmann, named a sectional Coach of the Year for a second time, said after his Ramblers edged New Trier’s Trevians 268-261.5 for their second straight sectional title — and second in program history — and advanced a robust 17 entrants to this weekend’s state meet at New Trier. “I’m really proud. The girls scrapped, swam way under state cuts.” Notable: Loyola Academy’s other state-qualifying efforts: Maria Kyle (100 fly, 57.68); Margaret Guanci (100 back, 58.13; 100 fly, 52.44); Ella Tierney (200 free, 1:52.29); Cassidy Coughlin (50 free, 24.09); Sofia Vargas (500 free, 5:09.48; 100 fly, 58.11); Emily Rourke (diving, 394.3 points); Elinor Arndt (diving, 383.35 points); 200 medley relay (1:46.5; Shannon Kearney, Claire Voss, Kyle, Coughlin); 200 free relay (1:36.22; Olivia Andrew, Coughlin, Kyle, Tierney); and 400 free relay (3:31.56; Kyle, Andrew, Guanci, Tierney). … Andrew ranks fourth among all state qualifiers in the 200 free (1:51.65).

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

SPORTS

CREATIVE DYNAMO Crafty Ochoa was a fun watch for Highland Park soccer team BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

wo minutes, exactly two minutes, remained in a Class 3A regional soccer semifinal match in Highland Park last month. Barrington High School’s Broncos, seeded second, hadn’t scored. Highland Park High School’s Giants, seeded 15th, hadn’t scored. Ethan Ochoa launched himself, his head nearing a descending ball in front of the Broncos’ goalkeeper at Wolters Field. Head met ball. Ball entered goal. Ochoa, a Highland Park junior midfielder, had just become the first Giant to score via a header in 2015. Ochoa sprinted toward the Giants’ ecstatic, pulsating fans and slid on his knees, his arms raised above his goal-mouth-wide smile. Nobody else scored on that day, Oct. 20. HP eliminated 10thseeded Stevenson 2-1 in a regional championship match four days later. The Giants’ memorable postseason run of tripping higher seeds finally ended on a pitch at Stevenson. Eventual state champion Libertyville High School, seeded third, beat Highland Park 3-1 on Oct. 28 and improved its record to 15-3-1. The best sevenwin soccer team (7-11-5, to be exact) in the state had to be Highland Park’s, hands down, feet down. “I knew we had amazing potential,” Ochoa, a second-year varsity member, says. “We just didn’t start playing to our potential until the end of the season. Nobody knew about us. People looked at our playoff seed and probably thought, Piece of cake. A lot of high school teams, they kick the ball around, kick the ball up and hope to win playing that way. We didn’t play that way at the end. We passed the ball, passed well, kept the ball on the ground.” Ochoa scored nine goals and delivered two assists this fall, three of his tallies coming in a 4-2 defeat of visiting New Trier on Sept. 10. The final goal of Ochoa’s hat trick wasn’t a normal one. His final goal came off a corner kick — Ochoa’s corner kick, the set piece curling and beating the Trevians’ keeper without the aid of another body part from either team. Soccer folks call such a goal an “Olympic goal.” Citius (Faster), Altius (Higher),

(Fortius) Stronger, … Ochoa (pick a superlative, any superlative). “Hard-nosed, hard worker, quick, tenacious, creative,” Giants junior forward Tommy Quirk says of Ochoa, also a Fire Academy U16 Raider. “Nothing but good things. One of the most creative moves he made this season was a back heel; the ball [nut]megged a guy [traveled between an opponent’s legs]. He’s a great scorer and a great passer. Ethan finds me, excels on the outside.” At the start of the Giants’ season this fall, Ochoa was a scorer, the dangerous Giant, a legitimate threat to befuddle defenders and burn keepers. Quirk essentially took over that role late in the season. An amendable Ochoa became a playmaker, his pretty passes replacing his gorgeous goals. You don’t have to score to make a difference in a soccer match. Nobody needs to tell that to Ochoa, who watches every televised professional European soccer match he can on the weekends. His parents are Spanish. Spain’s national sport? What Ethan Ochoa plays, what Ochoa loves to play. His blood contains plasma, cells, platelets and soccer, mostly soccer. If he ever gets the chance to eat dinner with his favorite player in the world, Lionel Messi, he’d say nothing in the first five minutes. Awe, Ochoa claims, would reduce him to a slack-jawed dinner mate. Messi, a 5-foot-7 Argentinian, would have to order for the 5-foot-6 Giant. “Ethan’s passion for the game is awesome,” Giants soccer coach Blake Novotny says. “He brings excitement and flair to the field. He’s a fun kid to have on the team … I often say, ‘Rules are meant to be bent,’ in an attempt to get my kids to try new things on the field, speak up, become more dynamic people. Ethan pushes this every day. He is emotional on the field and is not afraid to joke around off the field. “He wears two different colored cleats, always has a story, and he never quite has his uniform all put together and clean at the same time,” the coach adds. “He is quite possibly the best train wreck I have ever coached.”

learned so much from the seniors last year and from the seniors this year.” His father, Francisco, played competitive soccer in Spain until his late teens, mostly at the centerback position. Father and son, born in Atlanta and an Evanston resident until the age of seven, still battle one another on occasion, in 1-v-1 drills and shooting drills in their back yard. Sometimes a drill helps Ethan halt a scoring drought. A drill, always, allows Francisco the chance to feed a few valuable reminders to Ethan. “My dad gives me good advice,” Ethan says. “He tells me how important it is to keep moving [in matches], to keep working hard, because you never know what could happen if you continue to do those things. You could be hustling, working really hard, and there’s the ball, there’s the opportunity to make a play or score.” Notable: Highland Park senior midfielder Ethan Feinburg, on an assist from junior midfielder Justin Nedoss, scored the Giants’ goal in the 3-1 loss to Libertyville in a Class 3A Stevenson Sectional semifinal on Oct. 28. It came at the 5:54 mark of the second half. Libertyville led 1-0 at the half. … Libertyville edged Deerfield 1-0 for the Stevenson Sectional title on Oct. 31, defeated Evanston Township High School 1-0 in a supersectional on Nov. 3 and beat Quincy Senior High School 2-1 for the Class 3A state title on Nov. 7. … HP won back-to-back regional championships for the first time under Giants coach Blake Novotny when the Giants topped Stevenson’s Patriots 2-1 at Wolters Field on Oct. 24. A year earlier, HP and Stevenson met for another regional championship, HP winning 2-0 in two overtimes at Barrington High School. … Three Giants were named to the all-CSL North team: Feinberg, GETTING A LEG UP: Ethan Ochoa of the Giants does a little footwork during regional final action Eamonn Moore and Juan Chavez. against Stevenson last month.

Still, getting into the restaurant industry may be the hardest thing he’s ever done. Balla describes it as “a million moving parts and dealing with an entire range of people, from the most basic delivery service up to a very high end clientele that have very high expectations—and everyone in between.” Technically, Balla is still with The Lyric Opera, as he’s on sabbatical this year. He will have to decide in a few months whether he wants to go back next season. Last year he was

“I just get bored too quickly,” admitted Balla. “I can’t see me not doing seven things.” Three of those things are worth mentioning. Balla was interested at one point in getting his commercial pilot’s license and taking a year off to go to flight school. He also passed the Series 7 Financial Services exam so he could write algorithmic trading strategies for a firm in Chicago and Dallas because, he explained,

“That side of my brain needed exercising.” And just last year he had to walk away from the Chicago Sinai Congregation after 15 years as a singer, accompanist, and Music Director to take the reigns of running a restaurant. His friends aren’t surprised about his new venture—how could they be?—what with dabbling in enough careers to satisfy three lifetimes.

“I just get bored too quickly. I can’t see me not doing seven things.” —Jason Balla

doing both, holding meetings then racing off to performances four or five times a week, making it back at night to make sure everything was running smoothly. (It was.) Worlds might collide, however, if Balla brings in opera singers, jazz singers, chamber musicians or Chicago Symphony players to entertain his patrons. “If you’ve ever been within spitting distance of a fully fledged opera singer that’s [he laughed] going all out—it can be pretty loud,” he said. But even if he chooses the restaurant life over, say, performing onstage, his interests have already aligned. A self-educated oenophile, The Stained Glass has over 130 wines and the only premier temperature-controlled wine-dispensing system in the city. Many of the wait staff are musicians, artists, and actors. And there is talk—just talk, for now— of placing a performing arts center on this site in the near future. As we ate, Balla told me had taken a horse-jumping lesson earlier that morning. (Oh yeah, he does that, too.) He came into work around two o’clock with piles of wine boxes in the hall that needed stacking. He was “on the phone with this and trying to fix that” making sure deliveries were going smoothly, talking to the bank and to payroll, the staff came in at four o’clock and by five “it’s lights down and it’s theater.” Before he would drive to the theater: nowadays, the theater comes to Balla. And that lamb burger and pint of beer now? Said Balla with a wink, “It’s called quality control.”
