D-112 Takes Pause With Full-Day Kindergarten BY JULIE KEMP PICK DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
H
IGHLAND PARK — After spending several months exploring full-day Kindergarten options, North Shore School District 112 has decided to put plans on hold, for now. The decision was reached at the Nov. 17 board meeting after extensive presentations on the benefits and constraints of going from a two-and-a-half-hour day, to a six-and-a-half-hour day that would include lunch, gym, and other activities. “Children in play-based Kindergartens have a double advantage over those who are denied play,” said Jennifer Ferrari assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, during a slide presentation. “They end up equally good or better at reading and other intellectual skills, and they are more likely to become well-adjusted healthy people.” Continued on PG 12

AUTHOR TELLS INSPIRING STORIES FROM THE NORTH SHORE
INNETKA — Holly Marihugh, author of a popular blog focused on all-things Winnetka, has published her first book, Winnetka 60093: Stories of Our Village, the proceeds of which will be donated to the fundraising campaign Raise the Stage. The book is a compilation of essays from Marihugh’s blog, which shares inspiring stories of local residents and people who have in some way touched Winnetka. Originally from Vermont, Marihugh settled in Winnetka 18 years ago to raise her family of three boys. She started her blog to tear down the facade that often surrounds people’s view of the North Shore community. “I decided to really get to know Winnetka in new way,” Marihugh said. Driven by her interest in learning other people’s stories, Marihugh began pounding the pavement for material to share on her blog. Writing was a natural fit for Marihugh, who has a Master of Arts degree in journalism and experience in speech writing and corporate communications. And finding things to write about was easy, as she found one story seemed to lead to the next. “I found as I went along I loved the stories of transformation,” she said.

One essay in the book tells the story of Judy Meikle, a Winnetka resident in her 60s who received a heart transplant five years ago from a 21-year-old army ranger named Ben Kopp. Kopp had died from his injuries fighting in Afghanistan. “I was so inspired by how she honors his memory talking about his sacrifice,” Marihugh said. “Judy is now a huge advocate of organ donation.” The book includes about 35 essays about people from all paths of life, ranging from age 17 to 80. Marihugh sought anyone who touched Winnetka in some way — they grew up in the village, went to public schools or had worked, lived or volunteered in the community. Seventeen-year-old Nico Garcia was a senior at New Trier High School when Marihugh met him. Garcia was active in the school’s business club and had invited the founder of Skinny Pop popcorn (a Glencoe resident) to speak to the club about entrepreneurship. Marihugh was impressed by Garcia’s drive. “Nico is all about getting kids enthused about becoming entrepreneurs,” Marihugh said. While Marihugh has always been an active volunteer in the community, it wasn’t until she started the blog and completed her book that she felt really connected to Winnetka. “I never felt Continued on PG 12

Said Shulkin, “One young man said he was just happy to be able to watch TV in a room that had carpeting.” At six, dinner is served. And by nine or 10 they’re in the car, strangers no longer, with Shulkin dropping them back at the base. The Shulkins may not have any family or friends that serve in the armed forces, but you would be justifiably mistaken—and somewhat correct— to believe that they do. And that’s just fine with them.

Marihugh is investing further by supporting the campaign Raise the Stage, which is seeking to raise $1 million to outfit the new Black Box Theatre at New Trier High School. The campaign was started by the parents of Mary Catherine Hayes and Sarah McCausland, New Trier alumnae who died shortly after graduating. Hayes died of cancer at 21. McCausland, 19, was away at college and walking alongside a road when she was struck and killed by a drunken driver. Although Marihugh didn’t know the families personally, her sons attended New

To be a part of something that honors these two young women is an honor,” she said. “When I found out about the Raise the Stage campaign I knew I wanted to support it.” Marihugh plans to continue her blog with a more expansive focus that looks beyond Winnetka and the North Shore. “When we learn about these stories we are inspired to follow in someone else’s footsteps,” she said. The experience has left her in awe of the people she has met and how they have impacted Winnetka. “I am also really grateful to every person I met or interviewed in the way they contribute to the community,” she said.
Chagall for Children at Winnetka Community House BY JOANNA BROWN

innetka resident Joan Evanich has a passion for fine art, and she can’t wait to share it with her grandchildren. That’s why she and the rest of the Winnetka Community House’s Board of Governors were so pleased to see the installation of Chagall for Children at the Winnetka Community House this week. The interactive traveling exhibit from the Kohl Children’s Museum includes 14 multisensory stations where children and their caretakers can explore artist Marc Chagall’s best known works. “I think what I love about Chagall’s work is that it’s whimsical and colorful,” Evanich said. “He
was at the forefront of surrealism and created really joyous works of art that are perfect for sharing between children and adults. That’s why I’m so excited about this exhibit.” Open to the public Nov. 24-Dec. 31, Chagall for Children introduces young artists to the principles of color, composition, light and texture. Many stations include audio descriptions, highlighting information about the artwork upon which the interactive experience is based. The exhibit exemplifies the Winnetka Community House’s mission to bring educational enrichment to people of all ages, Evanich explained. Several local schools have already scheduled field trips to explore the exhibit, but the Winnetka Community

The cast of Oliver.
His is the anchoring performance of the show; and if applause is any indication, the audience on opening night, even one populated with stage parents, recognized this fact. While he gleefully instructs Oliver with “You’ve
Got to Pick a Pocket or Two” in the first act, he is masterful and precise in his rendition of “Reviewing the Situation” in the second act and its reprise at the end of the show. Michael Ermel as Bill Sykes, Fagin’s partner in
crime, captures menace and brooding, though more nuance would reveal why his girlfriend, Nancy, in spite of his abuse, cannot leave him. Erin Renee Baumrucker may not imbue her character with enough warmth to reveal her kind heart that is central to the action, but she’s a powerful singer; and her signature “As Long as He Needs Me” resonated with the crowd. Logan Aldrich’s Dodger, is able, if not charismatic, as the Fagin protégé who welcomes Oliver into the gang with a spunky “Consider Yourself. Some standout singers are Haley Noll as Nancy’s sidekick, Bet, and Natalie Rae, the rose seller, in “Who Will Buy?” As in any holiday show, there is a righting of circumstances— Oliver does eventually get “more”—but it would be inaccurate to characterize this show as entirely family-friendly. While children delight in seeing children on stage, parents should ponder
the nearly two-and-a-half-hour run time as well as the brutal murder of a beloved character. That said, this is a classic show with terrific music, and it’s performed by a cast with heart and commitment. This was clearly evident on opening night when, as the story was wrapping up, a fire alarm blared in the theatre, and in an astounding “the show must go on” demonstration, the actors gave no indication that they even heard the deafening noise. With only handful of uneasy exceptions, the similarly committed audience, even with an unexplained alarm persisting, stayed for the finale. “Oliver” runs through December 20 with performances presented Thursday through Sunday on the Citadel Theatre stage at the west campus of Lake Forest High School, 300 South Waukegan Road. For tickets and information, call 847-735-8554 or visit citadeltheatre.org.

of the documentary focuses on Chase’s relationship with his little brother Wylie. Seeing them together makes Chase’s affection for him and reliance on him very clear. The documentar y first grabbed attention at the 2015 Chicagoland High School Film
Festival, where it won the Juror’s Choice Award. The film went on to earn an honorable mention at the 2015 Heartland Film Festival. His festival tour culminates with the All American High School Film Festival in Times Square, where selections are made from high school
and middle school students all over the world. “I’ve been making short little videos since third grade with my f riends,” Falberg says. “We’d make weird YouTube clips of us doing stupid things. When I got into high school, I took a filmmaking class and discovered it as my passion.” Falberg first met Spadino when he volunteered as a coach at Jordan’s Corner, a program that helps children with special needs build their physical strength and socialization skills through exercise, boxing, peerto-peer interactions, and a focus on health and wellness. Seeing the difference the program was making in Spadino’s demeanor and interactions with others sparked his idea to tell the story of the Spadino family. “I just thought it was an amazing overcoming-difficulties story that had to be told,
so that families with kids like Chase could have a beacon of hope and say our child still has limitless possibilities,” he says. Currently in a class called Advanced Production at HPHS, Falberg is currently at work trying to set up his next documentary about another Highland Park family. He’s looking at applying to colleges with respected film programs next year, but he’s not restricting himself to the documentary form. “I’m really open to any kind of film that portrays a message,” Falberg says. “I feel like if you have the ability to show something to people on a wide scale, you should show them something that has some sort moral or message to get people thinking about it. If the best way to do that is through documentary filmmaking, I’m all for it, if the best way is through narrative, I’ll do it that way.”
Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI
What Can YOu DeDuCt? Deductions for personal real estate generally fall into two main categories: 1) Costs that can be deducted as expenses for real estate held from a buyer’s or seller’s personal income on a tax return. 2) Costs that can be used to alter the basis of the home, with an eye towards lowering the capital gains. It’s important to note that a second or vacation home also generally qualifies for all of the same deductions as a principal resident, provided that it isn’t rented for a significant portion of the year. Buyers can also add the following costs associated with a purchase. These additions will serve to lower the capital gains liability when the home is eventually sold: 1. Transfer or stamp taxes and recording fees, if paid by the buyer. 2. Title abstracts. 3. Title insurance. 4. Attorney’s fees for preparing their documents for closing. Buyers cannot deduct as expenses on their income tax or add to the cost basis of the home: 1. Fees for an appraisal required by the lender. 2. Rent paid to occupy the home before closing. 3. Cost of credit reports. 4. Loan assumption fees. For professional advice from an experienced Realtor, call Jean Wright at (847) 217-1906 or email at jwright@jeanwright.com

NICK’S NEIGHBORHOOD BAR & GRILL A FRESH EXPERIENCE BY SIMON MURRAY
W
hen Jennifer Marino and her husband moved from the urban sprawl of Los Angeles to Wilmette almost 11 years ago, they were intrigued by the potential for diverse dining. So they decided to do something about it. No strangers to the Midwest (both hail originally from Wisconsin) the Marinos began by playing a hypothetical conversation most, if not all, couples have had at one point when making dining decisions. “Really, truly, this all started as a several year ‘wouldn’t it be great if?’ discussion,” said Marino seated at a high table at Nick’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill. “‘Wouldn’t it be great if you could [have a place to] take your family, that you could go for girls night,
Jennifer Marino
or guys could go and catch a game.’ Over that time, casual conversations with friends led to increased support. If the Marinos ever did pull the trigger, a few local families in town would be interested in investing. So when the space that had once been C.J. Arthur’s was available, it turned up on the Marino’s radar. “My husband was like, Let’s just go look at it,” said Marino. “I was like, Oh god, the train is slooowly leaving the station.” That train is now in full motion—and picking up steam, I might add. Since June 2013, Nick’s has been a “neighborhood hangout” in the truest sense, with the goal of treating first-timers and regulars like family. In fact, family permeates the very essence of the space. Nine stars on the logo represent the nine families who, from the beginning, in-
vested in the restaurant. And Nick’s takes its name from Marino’s father-in-law. “He’s one of those guys you’d love to have a beer with.” A big thing that was important to them from day one was a dedication to fresh, locally sourced food. In this case, namedropping some of the best establishments around: Al’s Meat Market across the street, The Spice House in Evanston, The Rock House around the corner, the French Market whenever its open, Harrison’s Poultry Farm in Glenview. Other than one freezer chest in the basement that holds all the French fries, cheese curds (they’re Wisconsinites, after all), and Homer’s Ice Cream— “everything is fresh, that’s it. That’s it,” said Marino. “The reality is, we don’t have a ton of space to be doing frozen stuff anyway, and that’s not what we’re about.” The executive chef, Hilario Clavijo, has been with them since the beginning, starting as the restaurant’s sous chef and now overseeing a kitchen that prepares their own salad dressings and sauces in-house (see the recipe below for a delicious citrus glaze that explodes with flavor). And after focusing “inside these four walls” for the past two years, Nick’s has now also expanded to deliver on their promise of great food, great service, and great environment with catering onsite and offsite parties overseen by general manager Nick Larkin. Said Marino, “Having the name Nick wasn’t a prerequisite, but it certainly has worked out really well.” Nick’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill is located in Wilmette at 1168 Wilmette Ave. Call 847-251-3262 for reservations.

“Procrastination”
T
here’s something you’re supposed to do today, but it can wait. Why worry? There’s always later... It’s a good day to break the routine, maybe take a hike. There’s a lot of forest on the North Shore, and trails are bug-free this time of year. After that, you could pick up a sub sandwich. And later, an afternoon nap wouldn’t hurt. But the thing you had to do? Maybe you’ll do it tomorrow. Hold on, are you procrastinating? And that old word that once defined much of your school days rears its multi-syllabic head again. This makes you muse: what does it mean? So, instead of doing the thing you’re supposed to be doing, you investigate the origin of “procrastination.” A quick scan of the web reveals that “pro” comes from Latin, meaning “forward” and “cras” means “tomorrow.” Okay, makes sense. Procrastination means moving something “forward” until “tomorrow.” The word got coined in the 1500s, so it’s reassuring to know procrastination is nothing new. But, enough research. Hey, you’re not doing a term paper. (Don’t even get started on not doing term papers; that’s a subject for some other day.) Meanwhile, after all this noseto-the-grindstone research you’ve definitely earned a break. Go ahead, wander the woods, pick up a sandwich, take a nap. Sure, you’ve got something to do. What was it again? Maybe something you’re supposed to write? No worries, there’s always tomorrow. It’s not like you have a deadline or anything. Unless you’re working for a newspaper. Then, that would be a different story. Or would it?

SILVER BRAVO
Lanigan, Pyshnenko star as Scouts claim second-place trophy at state swim meet BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

R
eilly Lanigan toe-gipped a start block, crouched and clapped her hands five times before the start of the 500yard freestyle final at the state swimming and diving meet at New Trier last weekend. The hand claps were purposeful and loud and quick, frighteningly quick. Ready, all ready. The Lake Forest High School senior and University of Notre Dame recruit was geared up to take her mark, get set, explode at the sound of a beep on Nov. 21. Next to the Scouts’ captain, in Lane 5, was Barrington senior Kristen Jacobsen, a University of Arizona-bound dart, seeded second to Lanigan in the final, a tall Filly with a power forward’s build. The winner of the 500 free at state, last fall: Jacobsen. The winner of the event in 2013 and in 2012: Jacobsen, Jacobsen. Michael Phelps owns Olympic records; Jacobsen owns the 500 free in Illinois girls swimming. Lanigan stayed with Jacobsen in the final, lap after lap after lap, even secured a lead near the end. Jacobsen, alas, edged Lanigan 4:47.08-4:47.89 to become the
Cael Sanderson (four-time NCAA wrestling champion, at Iowa State) of her sport. Lanigan, later in the meet, would get to grip a heftier prize, after anchoring the Scouts’ 400 freestyle relay (with senior Haley Nelson and juniors Daria Pyshnenko and Madeline Smith) to a state-record time of 3:23.58, a mark that should stick around for a while, maybe even reach voting age in 2033. The weightier hardware: a runner-up team trophy, the program’s first since a Scouts crew finished third at the 2004 state meet. LF (154 points) finished behind state champ Rosary (192) and ahead of third-place St. Charles North (122.5) last weekend in Winnetka. “A true leader,” Lake Forest coach Carolyn Grevers said of Lanigan, also runner-up in the 200 free (1:49.24) and a member of the runner-up 200 free relay (1:34.67, with Smith, Pyshnenko and junior Olivia Lomax). “That leg she swam, in the 400 free relay, that was for the team. Reilly … she swam a marathon today.” Pyshnenko? She swam like Usain Bolt
sprinted at the last two Summer Olympics. The 6-foot-1 daughter of former Unified Team Olympic swimmers Vlad Pyshnenko and Nataliya Meshcheryakova, Daria zipped to first place in the 50 free (22.59) and first place in the 100 free (49.77). The last female Scout to bow for two individual golds at one state swimming meet was Rachel Stoehr (200 free, 500 free), in 2011. “Don’t think,” Pyshnenko, runner-up at state in the 50 free last year, said of the key ingredient to succeeding in the 50 free. “If you think, you slow down.” Pyshnenko’s swim coach for her entire life has been her father, a gold medal winner (relay) at the 1992 Games in Barcelona and a silver medal winner (relay) at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Stroke technique, starts, breathing technique, turns, kick, race mentality … Dad Vlad has taught all of the sport’s elements, and then some, to Daughter Daria. “My mom,” Daria said, “she helps me attitude-wise, calms me down when I’m stressed.” Grevers, in the middle of the meet’s preliminaries on Nov. 20,
had to face a distressed quartet of Scouts, sitting in a bank of deck bleachers, after breaking some tough news. Her 200 medley relay had placed 13th (1:47.15), not 12th (1:46.54), meaning the unit would not advance to the next day’s finals session. Gone would be the chance to earn points, relay points, or twice the value of points in individual races. The culprit was a technical glitch. Rosary’s point total after the first race, the 200 medley relay, the next day: 32. Lake Forest’s point total: 0. The Scouts soldiered on, winning an event here, placing in an event there. LF sat atop the team standings (91 points, to Rosary’s 90) after Event 8, thanks to the 1-6 finish by Pyshnenko and Smith (51.76) in the 100 free (worth a combined 25 points) and to Lanigan’s runnerup showing in the 500 free (worth 13 points). Rosary’s Beads didn’t have a diver in the finals session; LF’s Scouts had senior and New York Universitybound Carmen White in the finals session (fifth place, 431.4
points). Smith touched sixth in the 50 free (23.51), and Nelson, University of Illinois-bound, pulled her way to eighth place in the 100 backstroke (56.96). Scouts junior Josephine Annin finished eighth in the 100 butterfly (56.79). The time of the meet, without question, was 3:23.58, the Scouts’ 400 free relay time. Lanigan was spent, physically and emotionally, after a trio of runner-up swims (200 free, 500 free, the anchor leg of the 200 free relay). She was not too tired, though, to huddle with her 400 free relay mates and deliver a couple of timely messages to them before the start of the final race. “I told them, ‘Last race of the season, let’s fight through it,’ ” Lanigan recalled on deck, after posing for dozens of photos with her teammates. “Then I told them, ‘No pressure, but we have to win this.’ ” Lanigan paused, her face prerace serious, before cracking a record-setting smile, a delightful mixture of relief, warmth, excitement and satisfaction.
Notable: Scouts junior Ana Kohout competed in four Athletes with Disabilities events at the state swimming and diving meet at New Trier last weekend. Her time of 2:42.59 in the 100 breaststroke was nearly 13 seconds faster than her seed time. … Scouts junior Ella Needler went faster than her seed time in the 100 back at state, clocking a 58.25 (16th place). … Captain Reilly Lanigan’s career medal count, in four state meets: 14. … The team planned to watch a movie hours after the conclusion of the state meet last weekend. It hit theaters in 1980. Its title: Airplane! “Great movie,” Scouts junior Grace Donahue said. The exclamation point was apt, considering how the Scouts ended the 2015 state meet. See the 3:23.58, the time that supplanted the former 400 free relay state record of 3:24.5, set by a band of Glenbrook South Titans in 2012. … Scouts assistant swim coach Cindy Dell, on the qualities of this year’s varsity members: “Sheer grit and will. They didn’t back down. Determined, with a lot of want. Great group of girls.”

JAKE OF ALL TRADES
Marwede’s versatility proves to be invaluable in LA’s state semifinal win over Palatine BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
H
e came into this game as Mr. Situational. He ended up being Mr. Sensational. Loyola Academy junior Jake Marwede, a player with an unlimited upside, took on a greater role in his team’s 24-22 victory over host Palatine in a Class 8A state semifinal on Nov. 21. He was one of a parade of stars for the No. 1 seeded and unbeaten Ramblers (13-10), who will meet Marist in the state title game on Nov. 28 at Northern Illinois University’s Huskie Stadium. Marist, which finished the regular season with a 5-4 record, defeated Waubonsie Valley 31-16 in the other state semifinal game on Nov. 21. The 6-foot-5 Marwede, who has received two Division I scholarship offers (Central Michigan and Bowling Green) so far, had been used on a limited basis, flourishing as the team’s DQ — designated quarterback — in shortand-goal situations. In fact, that’s where he first emerged in this game. With his team trailing 9-0, Marwede scored LA’s first touchdown on a three-yard quarterback keeper
with 9:03 left in the second quarter. But, in the second half, Marwede, listed as a tight end/ wide receiver in the game program, showed off his unique skills set. With glue-like hands and high-leaping ability, he caught four passes for 57 yards, including what turned out to be the game-winner. With 5:46 left in regulation, Marwede went up and over Palatine cornerback Elvin Lama Sosa to haul in a 17-yard strike from LA quarterback Emmett Clifford. The jump-ball catch, along with Patrick Tata’s PAT kick, gave the Ramblers a 24-9 advantage. “The offensive line [ John Brekke, Jack Badovinac, Sam Badovinac, Thomas Nute and Daniel Kurkowski] did a great job, and Emmett threw me a great ball. It was right there,” said Marwede, who went very vertical on a vertical route. To its credit, Palatine (10-3) never gave up. First, the Pirates, with all-state quarterback Zachary Oles at the controls, put together a 14-play, 71-yard scoring drive cut the lead to 24-16. And then, the game tightened
even more, when the Ramblers allowed a touchdown on an errant snap from center on a punt attempt. Moments later, LA defensive back Bobby Desherow saved the day by coming up with a pass breakup on Palatine’s twopoint conversion attempt. With 2:36 left, it was a two-point game, 24-22. LA eventually sealed the victory by converting two first downs on its final possession, including a clutch 24-yard sideline catch by wideout Thomas Smart and a 10-yard carry by … Marwede. “We came into this game wellprepared,” said Marwede. “And, at the end of the day, we executed.” Clifford, who was named to the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association (IHSFCA) all-state team earlier in the week along with defensive lineman Ben LeRoy, didn’t let the frigid weather conditions get to him. He completed his first eight passes and finished the evening 19-for26 for 199 yards with no interceptions. Smart was his main target. The senior snagged eight passes for 88 yards.

LA running back Dara Laja turned in another stellar performance. He ran the ball 34 times for 205 yards. His play of the game came with 6:57 left in the second quarter, when he bolted into the
end zone from 37 yards out. Tata’s 35-yard field goal with 19.5 seconds left in the first half also proved to be critical. With Holecek at the helm, LA will be making its third trip to the
state finals. The Ramblers took runner-up honors in 2011 and 2013. The school’s lone title came in 1993. That squad was coached by the late John Hoerster.
Freeze frame: Desherow comes up with the defining moment BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
M
aybe we should call this The Desherow. Palatine High School’s unique play-calling didn’t snow Loyola Academy defensive back Bobby Desherow. With the game on the line — the host Pirates were looking to tie the game with a two-point conversion with 2:36 left in the fourth quarter — Desherow was not about to fall for a gimmick play. Aided by a great scouting report, the senior looked at Palatine’s power formation — and immediately thought Tim Tebow. He immediately thought Tim Tebow Jump Pass. (See YouTube videos). “Our coaches had us working on that. We knew they like to run that play in goal-line situa-
tions,” said Desherow, after preserving a bone-chilling 24-22 victory over Palatine in a Class 8A state semifinal game on Nov. 21. “We were prepared for it.” On a frigid night best suited for Eskimos and North Pole enthusiasts —17 inches of snow were removed from the FieldTurf at Chic Anderson Field prior to the game — the Ramblers guessed right. Palatine’s all-state quarterback, Zachary Oles, indeed threw a jump pass on this must play only to have Desherow jump the route. With plenty of emphasis, Desherow reached up and powerfully batted the pass down on the frozen turf. “I saw the ball coming,” he Loyola Academy’s Bobby Desherow celebrates after breaking up said. “My reflexes kicked in.” on pass on Palatine’s two-point conversion.

beating Palatine’s Oles. It was a freeze frame moment for Desherow. “Biggest play of my high school career,” he said. But it wasn’t his only big play of the night. Desherow forced fumble and a six-yard loss on Oles midway through the second quarter. “I was disguising it, but I was coming off the edge on a blitz,” said Desherow. “It helped that he (Oles) was bobbling the ball.” Teammate Frank Doherty wound up recovering the loose pigskin at the Pirate 41-yard line. Two plays later, the Ramblers (13-0) went up 14-9 on an inspired 37-yard touchdown run by Dara Laja. LA’s other defensive game protectors were Sam Taylor and Cross Daffada. On Palatine’s first
series in the second half, Taylor picked off a pass at the Pirate two-yard line. On Palatine’s second possession of the second half, Daffada intercepted another pass at the same Pirate two-yard line. “Those were huge,” said LA head coach John Holecek. “Two turnovers in the red zone. Momentum changers.” “Those INTs bailed us out,” Desherow added. Three quarterback sacks — recorded by Doherty (13 yards), Daffada (6 yards) and Jack Hough (3 yards) — also helped the LA cause along with the tackle for losses by Desherow, Doherty, Hough and Ben LeRoy. LA’s leading tacklers were Anthony Romano (10), LeRoy (7), Graham Repp (6) and Taylor (5).

ROSY OUTLOOK
New Trier freshman diver Creed captures third-place medal at state meet BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
J
essie Creed, wearing a thirdplace medal and waiting to be photographed with 11 other medalists, held a bouquet of white roses in her right hand and her score sheet of dives in her left at the state swimming and diving meet at New Trier last weekend. She stood and stared at the numbers on the sheet for a good 20 seconds, her nose resting squarely on one of the roses during her pensive review. The New Trier freshman got a good whiff and an eyeful, all at once, on Nov. 21. “They smelled good,” the 5-foot6 Creed, a Northfield resident and former resident of Southampton, England, said of the flowers she had received after climbing a start block to bow for a medal, a pair of prizes — one dainty and aromatic, the other hard — for her 11-dive score of 459.6 points. Naperville Central senior Sydney Dusel (490.6, fifth best in state meet history) finished first, Evanston freshman Lucy Hogan second (463.15). Better than good were the two 9s Creed had earned on her ninth dive. Judges’ grades on some of her other dives caught her attention, made her pause. “I was thinking, I can definitely do better, a couple of times, as I looked at my scores,” Creed, owner of the state’s best sectional score this fall (548.7 points), said. Creed was not upset after her first state meet in front of a vocal contingent of Trevians fans, on deck and in the stands. Creed was not satisfied, a healthy reaction from an elite athlete who finished seventh in the 1-meter and seventh in the 3-meter in the 14-15 age division at USA Diving Nationals last summer. “Jessie has a go-get-it attitude,” New Trier diving coach and former U.S. Olympic diver Bruce Kimball said. “She enjoys getting out there and performing. You saw her smiling on the board, as her teammates cheered for her before her dives. Today [Nov. 21, during the finals], when she was slightly off on a dive, it was because she went for it. That’s her attitude — go for it. I like that attitude; it’s the best. She stayed positive, kept fighting … qualities of a champion.” Spectators saw more than Creed’s sheer talent off a board last weekend. They also watched her
soundingly. “Pretty crazy,” Ella, beaming, recalled on Nov. 21, after tying St. Charles North senior Monica Guyett for third place in the 200 free (1:50.14) and before tying Barrington sophomore Maggie Guyett for fifth place in the 500 free (4:54.31). “Grace inspires me. It’s pretty competitive between us, but I’ve always looked up to her. She’s proud of me … proud of the whole team.” Loyola Academy finished fourth (105 points) at state last weekend, behind St. Charles North (122.5), Lake Forest High School (154) and champion Rosary (192). Ramblers entrants collected six top-six medals and three others ranging from seventh to 12th. Ella Tierney exited New Trier’s natatorium substantially heavier, because of four top-six medals, than she had entered it on Nov. 21.

“Other organizations share the rules of the game, we teach you how the game is played.” –Jeff Anderson Abbott L abor ator ies, Fansteel Metallurgical Corporation, and Johns-Manville Products Corporation—as well as Lake F o r e s t College— formed the Lake Forest College Industrial Management Institute (IMI) in 1946, primarily to address a shortage of management talent in the post Wor ld War II economy. “They looked around and they couldn’t find a program that met their need to develop managers and leaders, so they started their Jeff Anderson | Illustration by Barry Blitt own school,” explained Anderson. “That practical, learn-itNext year, the not-for-profit today, use-it-tomorrow orientament (LEAD) course that provides first year students with part-time graduate school of tion has always been who we “real world leadership perspec- business will celebrate its 70th are.” tives and experiences.” birthday; and Anderson, only its Today, LFGSM is the only LFGSM was in his backyard, 5th President and CEO, will business school in the country but he knew little about it before celebrate his second year with that has a faculty comprised 100 he was tabbed to take over from the school that was originally percent of current business his predecessor. formed by three companies. leaders, “they make the class-
room come alive in a very real and interesting way.” Which means if they are teaching a class on international finance, they will bring in experiences and problems they are working on right now. Whereas most graduate business schools look at their parttime programs as incremental revenue streams—putting the cart before the horse—LFGSM has always catered toward the working professional. “What are the unique needs of this population? They are older. They have more experience. What’s important to them is How do I fit this into my life?” To that end, the school offers technology that allows students to attend class virtually when traveling for business. They also offer corporate training and development for mid-to-large size organizations that will want to focus on leadership development. As for the future, Anderson harkens back to the past. It was there, as he calls it, where he had his first in a series of “major inflection points” for him on his way to being the leader he is today. He had an opportunity to run a big manufacturing plant for RR Donnelley in Spartanburg, South Carolina. “And I realized the day I walked in there, I don’t know anything about how to do this.” That day, he had to learn how to lead in a very different way. “We take great value in showing how competent we are, right? It turns out though, while you need to be competent, your ability to build relationships and be warm and likable ends up being more important,” said Anderson, making it a teaching point for his students. “If we can help them be as agile as possible, whatever comes, they’re going to be able to face it.” He thought for a moment before adding: “Other organizations share the rules of the game, we teach you how the game is played.”
