Guilty: LFHS Teacher Touched, Kissed Student BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
L
AKE FOREST – Lake Forest High School math teacher Albert Macius was found guilty of two counts of misdemeanor battery Feb. 8 after Lake County Criminal Court Judge Mark Levitt concluded the teacher’s version of the incident that brought him to trial lacked credibility. “Your own words sir, it is your own words that convict you,” Levitt said when giving his verdict at the end of the day-long trial that included testimony from the victim, who was a 17-year-old high school student when the encounter occurred last May. Macius and three police officers involved in the case also testified. The victim and four family members hugged each other across Continued on PG 12

ART WITH A NORTH SHORE FOCUS
he Bottle Shop in downtown Wilmette has a series of landscape paintings on display by local artist Andrew Rauhauser, who not only grew up in Wilmette but focuses on the North Shore in this series of paintings that depict familiar landscapes from Wilmette to Lake Forest. Growing up the youngest of four children, Rauhauser always was interested in art and spent his free time doodling, drawing and otherwise being creative. He imitated his older bother who also enjoyed drawing. Rauhauser took art classes as a student at New Trier High School and continued those studies as a student at Rockford College. After moving to New York, he attended the National Academy School of Fine Arts and the Art Students’ League in New York City. While Rauhauser spent years in New York working in business as a computer programmer, he managed to carve out time to focus on his art. Eventually he became a full-time artist. While Rauhauser enjoys pursuing his passion, he doesn’t regret his years in business. “What you lose in time you make up in maturity,” he said. In the paintings exhibited at The Bottle Shop, Rauhauser Continued on PG 12

STANDOUT STUDENT
The High School Entrepreneur BY JAKE JARVIS
“I think I just like things to be done right.”
A
fter spending last year as a part-time academic tutor, Ethan Feinberg saw an opportunity to build a business. Over the summer, he taught himself how to build a website, he gathered a team of talented student tutors, he filed the paperwork to form an official Limited Liability Corporation, and Brain Train Tutors was born. “I think I just like things to be done right,” says Feinberg, a senior at Highland Park High School (HPHS). “I had a good amount of friends who were qualified to tutor. Then, I had a more formal kind of interview, they had to sign a contract, so there was definitely a more formal aspect to it.” Brain Train has a stable of 20 tutors, qualified juniors and seniors, 13 from HPHS and 7 from Deerfield High School. They offer tutoring services in mathematics, science, social studies, English, Spanish, and
—Ethan Feinberg electives she has Intro to Business, Intro to Engineering, and Intro to Financial Accounting. They offer both one-on-one sessions and a group format if students want to gather as a study group. Though Feinberg mentions the affordability of the services they offer as one of their most attractive features, the thing that really elevates them is the ease and intuitive nature of the website he built, which makes scheduling sessions an absolute breeze. Under the Book Now tab, a user chooses from Highland Park or Deerfield. On the next

page, you click the subject in which you’d like a student tutored. The next, you click a time increment for the lesson, anything from 30 minutes to two hours. Pictures appear of every tutor available to teach that subject during that time period. A separate tab features a oneparagraph bio of every tutor, their year in school, their strongest subjects, whether they play sports on school teams, and fun personal tidbits so parents can find the best match for their child. After picking the tutor of your choice, a calendar appears where you can click on an available day and available time slot. The final page has you enter your information and the name of your student. Click Book Now and that’s it. You get a text and an email confirming your appointment and a follow-up reminder an hour before the tutoring session is scheduled to begin. Its all done over the website at your own convenience. It’s also convenient for the tutors who work
with Brain Train. “It is very helpful to connect with students through Brain Train Tutors,” says Avery Spitz, a senior at HPHS. “I input my hours every week and automatically get a text if someone has booked me through the website. The system is very efficient, giving me updates before each session and telling me exactly what subject I am to tutor. I really enjoy helping younger students understand material. It has been a really fulfilling experience.” For Feinberg, starting, developing, and maintaining Brain Train has been an education in its own right. “This whole venture has been a great experience,” he says. “I think you have to have ambition, but you have to be realistic and work hard each day to get to those aspirations. This experience has led me to realize that it’s not so easy to be successful in business, but it’s definitely possible through hard work and working efficiently.”

Origins of the Jewish North Shore
H
IGHLAND PARK – Why did many in Chicago’s Jewish community choose to move to Highland Park? The answer lies in the city’s appeal as a summer resort area. In 1900, the extended Foreman family (Foreman, Schwab, Leopold, and Steele) purchased a half block of land in Highland Park and built their own private summer resort, complete with a common kitchen and dining hall in a central club house. The Highland Park Historical Society is planning a presentation on “Highland Park as a Summer Resort: The Wildwood Experience and the
Origins of Chicago’s Jewish North Shore” on Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Highland Park Public Library Auditorium. It is presented by Leah Axelrod and researched and written by Elliott Miller. Before 1900 the number of Jewish families in Highland Park could be counted on one hand. By the 1920s there were two Jewish country clubs and a synagogue in the area and there was a year-round Jewish community as well as the summer residents. The Wildwood story epitomizes this transition. Leah Axelrod has lived in Highland Park since 1957. Her
cluding being a three-time winner of the Concours award at the Art Students’ League in New York. His advice to anyone interested in becoming an artist is simple: “I would learn the basics. Learn something like the figure that requires a lot of discipline. It gives you a lot of tools and knowledge to do anything you want,” he said. He also recommended people put in the hard work. “The other thing is to do it as much as possible. It is just like practicing an instrument or a sport,” he said. The Bottle Shop will host an artist’s wine reception on February 21, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm, at the store located at 1148 Central Avenue, Wilmette. Rauhauser will also be displaying another collection of paintings at Velosmith Bicycle Studio, 805 Ridge Road, Wilmette on March 4, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm.
lifelong interest in history led her to become a founding member of the Highland Park Historical Society and served as President for eight years. Axelrod is a founder of the Chicago Jewish Historical Society and serves on the board as tour chairman. Serves as President of My Kind of Tours and Events. In addition, she has been a member of the Historic Preservation Commission of Highland Park and is now a citizen adviser for that commission. Elliott Miller has served for eight years as a commissioner on the City of Highland Park Historic Preservation Commission, including one term as Chair. He has also served eight years on the Board of Directors of the Highland Park Historical Society, including one term as president. Submitted by the Historical Society of Highland Park.
a courtroom bench when the guilty verdict was read. Earlier in the trial the victim testified that Macius, who had been tutoring her in math, came to her home May 11 to give her advice about leasing or purchasing a car. She said that as he sat on the living room couch and she on a chair across the room, he motioned for her to sit beside him. She and Macius both said he asked her to move to the couch so he could show her information he brought with him. “He touched my upper thighs and my legs,” the victim said. “He kept his hands on my legs and upper thighs. I got my dogs and put them on the couch as a barrier.” When Macius got up to leave after 40 minutes in the house, the victim said he hugged her goodbye. They had hugged before but the victim said this time was different. “He hugged me pretty hard so I pulled away,” the victim said. “He kissed my neck and my hair. It seemed pretty weird. Before the hugs were very short. This time it was 45 seconds or a minute. When I pulled back he said ‘this feels so right.’” In his testimony in court, Macius gave a different version of the encounter and denied kissing her. He made the same denial during an interview on May 12 with Lake Bluff Police officer Lisa Malkov, Lake Bluff detective James Reynolds and Lake Forest Police detective Ben-
jamin Grum, the high school’s resource officer. In court on Feb. 8, Assistant Lake County State’s Attorney Jamie Feldman played a video of 90 minutes of the 2½-hour interview. In the video, Macius admitted to the hug but said it was a normal thing he did with students. “It was just a hug,” Macius said. “It felt the same to her. I was just saying you’re a good kid. Keep working hard.” Macius said he came to the victim’s home to show her the automobile section of the Chicago Tribune to help her with questions about leasing a car. On cross-examination he said it would be unlikely a parent would be home at that time. Macius said he discussed car leasing with the victim and her mother the day before when he was there for a tutoring session. Admitting he touched the victim’s leg, Macius said he did it to refocus her to their discussion about purchasing or leasing a car when she seemed distracted. He also said their entire conversation centered on automobiles. “I wanted to get her attention,” Macius said. “I touched her knee (and said) look at this. Then I said it was time for me to get up and go.” The victim said the conversation was mostly about personal things. She said Macius did not get around to discussing the purchase or lease of an automobile until the end of the talk. “He did not talk about it until the end,” the victim said during
cross examination from Macius’s attorney, Thomas Breen, as she wiped away tears with a tissue. Breen said during his closing argument Macius showed innocence by agreeing to talk to the police without an attorney and being cooperative during the lengthy interrogation. Breen called his client a dedicated teacher. “He did this to help a student along,” Breen said. “I view this as something taken completely out of context. I’m scratching my head for her motive.” Assistant State’s Attorney Feldman had the answer on the victim’s reasoning during her closing argument as well as her view of his version of the story. “There is no motive. That’s why he can’t think of one. He backtracked everything on cross examination,” Feldman said. “She should not have to jump up and down and (say stop). She was a student and (Macius) should have known.” “That excuse is absurd,” Judge Levitt said when giving his verdict, referring to Macius’s reason for touching her. Levitt said before he sentences Macius he wants a pretrial investigation to help guide his decision. Sentencing is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. April 14 in Waukegan. Macius remains on unpaid leave from the school, according to an attorney for Lake Forest High School District 115 who was in court. The district took steps to terminate Macius, a tenured teacher, during an Oct. 13 board meeting.

And the affable Cal parries, with gentle responses that explain the life that he and Andre shared. The back and forth between these pivotal characters is the crux of the drama.

Interpreting McNally’s work is a strong four-person cast with the pert Bud played by Ben Miller and Benjamin Sprunger as the doting father Will. Jeff Parker gives the anchoring performance as Cal, whose reminiscences about Andre’s life and death feel wholly authentic. That Cindy Gold can endow the despicable Katharine with a humanity that makes her sympathetic, even as she lashes out, allows us—crucially, for the success of the play—to share her grief.
Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI
re-DefIne, nOt re-DesIGn! Staged Homes Professionals® provide both buyers and sellers a variety of “concierge services”—though it’s statistically proven that Staged Homes® sell faster and for more money than unstaged homes, did you know that as a home buyer, the services of an ASP® are also helpful in making the most of your new home? Here are just a few of the reasons to consider professionally staging your home when it’s time to list it on the market. You never get a second chance to make a first impression! Home staging professionals help you ensure that your home’s first impression on potential buyers will be the very best. By creating a room design that is neutral and open to interpretation, buyers are better able to view your home and “mentally move in”, creating an emotional connection that will help your house move quickly and at its highest possible value. An objective eye lends to a competitive sale! How you live in a home is completely different from how you sell a home. The professional home stager is able to look at your home objectively in a way that you, your friends and your family cannot—after all, you’ve lived there for years and have many happy memories associated with the rooms. Your buyers, however, don’t have that history—that’ll be theirs to make, when they make an offer. When your house is on the market, it’s absolutely critical to create rooms with aesthetically pleasing focal points, direct the flow of traffic between rooms and generate an overall ambience that promotes each room as an oasis of calm, inviting buyers to not think of the property as “your house”, but instead, to see it as “their home”. Color, art and room themes—what’s really important? There’s a reason we trust the services of trained professionals—when you cut corners, you always take a risk. Just as you wouldn’t trust a janitor to perform surgery, you should remember that home sales and Home Staging® are professions like any other, and that by enlisting the services of a trained professional, you’ve shown prospective home buyers how serious you are about the piece of real estate you’re listing. While your friend or family member may indeed have a good “eye” for home design, ask yourself if you’d be willing to keep your home on the market longer, or settle for a lesser offer than your home is worth, just to save a few pennies in having it professionally staged. To get a top-notch home sale, you must be willing to invest in top-notch service!

BLOOMING WITH CONFIDENCE Fast-developing Rosenbloom — running out of room to improve — earns second straight sectional berth BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
T
hey met up in a bedroom at the Rosenbloom house in Highland Park, a couple of wrestlers ready to go at it, no need for a referee, no need for a scoreboard. Furniture had been moved to give the combatants ample space. Alex Rosenbloom, a Highland Park High School sophomore, assumed a grappler’s stance. His older opponent, the one with home-bedroom advantage, did the same. Rosenbloom is a 138-pound varsity wrestler. His foe was a 126pound varsity wrestler years ago. They neared each other. They clashed and gripped and threw each other around in that bedroom last November, their faces flushing in no time. “Alex got me … he beat me,” the older wrestler recalled last weekend. The older wrestler’s name: Greg Rosenbloom, father of the victor, a 1988 HPHS graduate, the Class AA state runner-up at 126 pounds in ’88, immune to getting grounded for roughhousing in his house. Dad had entered that in-house bout with a spotless record versus his son. Maybe they hugged afterward. Maybe they shook hands afterward, the father squeezing the son’s hand a little longer than he normally had after such a match, a subtle gesture of respect. One thing is for certain: the proudest person in the bedroom that day took the SAT decades ago. “Alex, today, is so much better than I was as a sophomore,” Greg Rosenbloom said after Alex finished runner-up to Warren junior Grant Zamin in the 138-pound bracket and captured another sectional berth at the Class 3A Deerfield Regional on Feb. 6. “He’s made so much progress. It amazes me, his ability to bounce back in matches, how he works his opponents, how he competes. He teaches me things in wrestling now. “The best thing about him is what I hear from parents. Parents of opponents come up to me, and
flows, everything working for him, everything clean.” An announcer announced Rosenbloom’s name when it was time to award the place winners in the 138-pound weight class at last weekend’s Deerfield Regional. He did not appear. Where’s Alex? Lost? Rosenbloom, older brother of reigning CSL North Freshman Wrestling Meet champion Aiden Rosenbloom (126 pounds), eventually sprinted toward a podium, mounted it, received his medal. He descended the podium and, seconds later, made a confession. “Eating a brownie,” a sheepish Rosenbloom, smiling, said of his excuse for being tardy.

they tell me, ‘I like your son. I like the way he wrestles and conducts himself in matches.’ I love hearing that.” Alex and Greg share a name, not a wrestling style. Alex is aggressive, fast; Greg relied on a methodical approach, on defense, during his days as a Giant. Alex Rosenbloom, a sectional qualifier at 126 pounds a year ago, was hard on himself after his 5-3 loss to Zamin (33-8) in a regional championship match last weekend. He knew the game plan against the Blue Devil. He knew what Zamin likes to do. He practically wanted a … do-over, right then and there. Or anywhere.
“I didn’t follow the game plan,” Rosenbloom (15-2), who trailed 3-1 in the final after two periods and only 3-2 with 57 seconds left in the third, admitted. “What I should have done was take my time to set him up; I forgot to do that. I wasn’t patient enough, and I pushed too hard to score.” Rosenbloom became an official wrestler at the age of 12, donning a singlet for the first time as a Northwood Junior High student. Success followed. He turned 13. More success. Freshman year, he caught Chris Riley’s attention. Riley, HPHS varsity wrestling coach, welcomed Rosenbloom to the parent club of the program.
Older wrestlers did not overwhelm Rosenbloom last winter. In a statequalifying match at 126 pounds, against Machesney Park Harlem junior Dylan Elmore in the Class 3A Barrington Sectional, Rosenbloom lost by a point. The loss triggered something in him. He upped his devotion to the sport in the offseason, adding layers to his game along the way. “Alex became more of a multidimensional wrestler,” Riley said of the reigning Central Suburban League North champ at 138 pounds. “He’s coachable, a pleasure to coach, a good team kid with a nice attitude. Alex takes the sport of wrestling seriously, but not so
seriously that he loses his composure.” Giants senior Gabe Guzman sat up in the stands at Deerfield High School, his season at 285 pounds having just ended with a 1-0 loss to Libertyville sophomore Charlie Schmidt (25-9) in a match for third place. He was gathering his stuff, preparing to leave. He stopped gathering his stuff, stopped preparing to leave, because somebody had asked him a question about Rosenbloom. “The way Alex wrestles … he wrestles smoothly, calmly,” Guzman, a patient and courteous Giant, said. “People notice his style, appreciate it. He goes out there,
Notable: Two other Giants, senior Andrew Cohen (145 pounds) and junior DJ Penick (170), earned sectional berths at the Class 3A Deerfield Regional on Feb. 6. Cohen (30-4) finished runner-up in his weight class, Penick (20-8) third in his. Cohen got pinned by Deerfield senior Andrew Mehrholz (24-4) at 2:37 of their final. Penick, a state qualifier at 152 pounds last winter, took a couple of days off from wrestling practice to participate in a U.S.-Canada all-star football game in Texas last week. He edged Warren junior Andrew Demos 7-6 in a win-or-turn-inyour-singlet match. It was 5-5 after two periods. Demos had entered the bout with a 31-9 mark. “Missing practice days like DJ did, that can hurt you,” Giants coach Chris Riley said. “But he did a great job in a meat grinder of a weight class. Andrew [Cohen, the reigning CSL North champ at 145 pounds] wrestled very well again. What he did at the CSL Meet and here (regional), it’s the best he’s wrestled consecutively this season. He’s rolling.” … The three Giants vie for state berths at the Class 3A Barrington Sectional this weekend, beginning Feb. 12.

FULLY en-Gage-d Wresting has a firm grip on Lake Forest High School’s Griffin BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
G
age Griffin is sitting in the wrestling office at Lake Forest High School, trying to get comfortable for an interview a couple of days before a big meet, the Class 3A Deerfield Regional. A weekday practice had just ended. His look is stern, his jaw clenched. His eyes, wide open and piercing, stare at the interviewer’s eyes. Most wrestlers look like this seconds before a wrestling match. Or seconds before the end of a third period in a bout, arms and legs knotted with another set of arms and legs, tied at 3-3. A question is asked. The senior, a third-year varsity wrestler, listens to it, intensely. It appears to be the only way he knows how to listen. His eyes haven’t moved. He thinks before speaking. Is Griffin, a 126-pounder and second-year captain, thinking about his answer or is he visualizing how his first match in the regional will unfold in the first period? Maybe he is doing both. “I remember it like it was yesterday,” Griffin says of his first day in a wrestling room, the day his life — as a student, as an athlete — changed. “Yesterday”: a day in sixth grade, at Deer Path Middle School. A chunky Griffin enters the wrestling room at the school. He looks up and around. He starts to sweat. “It was 95 degrees in there, had to be,” he recalls. “I had no clue about wrestling, none. I was there because I was out of shape and I wanted to focus on my physical health. I learned to roll out the mats, clean the mats. I was exhausted before we even started to warm up. Then the warm-up session started, time for bear crawls, crab walks, simple stuff. Not so simple for me; I was dying.” When it was time to wrestle against a Deer Path classmate, Griffin was game. It did not take long for the classmate to treat an overmatched Griffin like a basketball in a basketball game. Bounce, bounce, bounce … “He beat me up, took me down maybe 20 times in something like two minutes,” Griffin says. “I got mad, furious. For five seconds, I thought, I can’t do this. Then right after that I thought, I’m not quitting. I want to dominate guys like I had just been dominated. I stuck with
drill partner and the Scouts’ Sportsmanship honoree at the NSC Meet last month. “He doesn’t take much of a break in the offseason. He’s mentally strong. If he’s down in points in a match, he’s never down mentally.” Griffin’s Sundays are his days to decompress, somewhat, outdoors. A Sunday is a day to “rest, recuperate,” he says. Up at 4:30 a.m., Griffin, a member of the school’s bass fishing club, likes to drive to Antioch, stop at a bait and tackle shop and fish. Or hunt. He has studied wrestling film while sitting in a tree stand. Fishing, to him, is not a recreation. It is a passion packed with variables, requiring a strategy. He wants to know all about the weather before he touches a fishing pole. What is the water temperature? The water clarity? Gage Griffin, fisherman, needs to know, know, know. Gage Griffin, hunter, claims at least 20 people at Lake Forest High School are addicted to his venison jerky. “I season it, marinate it for 48 hours,” Griffin says. “It’s the most lean red meat you’ll ever taste.” Griffin, still oozing intensity from a chair in the school’s wrestling office, is in the middle of answering another question. He stops in mid-sentence. Something had entered his mind, something pressing. “I’m thinking, right now,” he says, “how I could’ve practiced better today, how I should have practiced better today.” QUITE A FEAT: Lake Forest High School’s Gage Griffin, seen here at the recent North Suburban Conference meet, battled to a third-place Griffin cracks a brief smile, finish at the rugged Class 3A Deerfield Regional.

STEADY EDDIE Loyola Academy’s Trapp hits the threes, plays the tough D BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
D
arlene Ren, a teacher, wanted to flap a green poster of an exclamation point above her head more than she did at a Loyola Academy boys basketball game last weekend. The poster had been one of three designed for Ramblers senior guard Eddie Trapp on Teacher Appreciation Night. The other two green posters featured Chinese characters. The general translation of the trio of posters, hoisted occasionally by a pair of LA students and Ren: “Go, Eddie!” Ren teaches Chinese at the academy. Trapp, when healthy, nails three-pointers and shuts down offensive threats for the academy’s boys hoops team. Trapp is a student in one of Ren’s classes and chose to recognize one of his favorite teachers before the start of the Marmion Academy-Loyola Academy game on Feb. 5. Trapp, alas, played for only a couple of minutes in LA’s 61-44 home victory because of shoulder and hip injuries. He rarely sat, though, typically popping off the bench to stand and clap for a Ramblers basket or a caused turnover or to greet a teammate coming out of the game. “Smart guy, funny guy, always smiling,” Ren, wearing a maroon Loyola Academy boys practice jersey (No. 13, Trapp’s number), said from her seat in the bleachers during halftime. “Eddie asked me, in class [on Feb. 3], to attend this game. I was happy he did.” Trapp guarded Evanston junior guard Nojel Eastern on Jan. 19. Eastern was not happy he did. Eastern, highly ranked in just about every Class of 2017 prep hoops national rankings list, is a 25-30-point threat each game. He scored seven points against Loyola Academy, only five when matched up against Trapp. Evanston won the game, 46-31. Trapp won the challenging one-on-one test, convincingly. HERE IT COMES: Loyola Academy’s Eddie Trapp gets ready to toss a bounce pass during earlier “Eddie is having a very good action this season. PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEORGE PFOERTNER.
season for us,” Ramblers coach Tom Livatino said. “He’s doing a very good job guarding outstanding players. Our expectations of him this season were to be a lockdown defender and make open shots. Eddie had an OK summer and a very good fall. This winter he’s getting better and better and better, guarding his tail off, being a senior leader, doing it all. He is he best conditioned player we’ve had here in seven years. “Eddie is doing what we need him to do.” Need a trey? Call on Trapp, a native of Wilmette and a St. Joseph School graduate. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound guard had taken 62 three-pointers through Feb. 5. He had made 31 of them, a tidy success rate of 50 percent. Trapp had taken 10 shots from two-point terrain, connecting eight times. Steady. Tidy plus steady equals uber-dependable in basketball math. He is averaging a little more than six points per game for an 11-12 squad. “I’m an energy guy,” Trapp said. “I try to bring as much energy as I can to each game, try to encourage my teammates every chance I get. If there’s a loose ball, I’m on the floor, looking to get it. Charges … I’ll take those; they can change the tone in a game. Name a play in basketball, any play. An energy play is as impactful as any play in basketball is.” There’s a player named Liz Satter on Loyola Academy’s girls basketball team. She is 6-foot-2, University of Penn-bound, averaging 17 points per game, a two-time all-Girls Catholic Athletic Conference pick, capable of dominating inside and breaking the will of a team with her three-point shooting. Satter plus basketball-in-Satter’shands equals impact. Additional basketball math. One of Satter’s cousins: Trapp. “She’s killing it,” Trapp, bound for the University of ColoradoBoulder (to study business), said
of the Glencoe resident. “She’s a really good shooter. I try to go to as many of her games as I can.” One of Trapp’s major hoops influences in his early years was Justin Welke, now the men’s basketball coach at Harper College in Palatine. Welke coached grade-school basketball at St. Joseph School. Trapp was a part of his very first defensive trap at the school. Trapp trained extensively with Welke after his eighth-grade season, ran and shot and caused turnovers for travel teams and joined the New Trier feeder program. (The Loyola Academy feeder program had yet to be hatched). Welke once helped Trapp find a summer job. “We connected really well,” Trapp said. “A nice guy, one of the nicest guys. We constructed this website, one that helped junior college basketball players look for opportunities [at the Division I level]. Great guy, Coach Welke. And he’s a dentist. I’m thinking of going to him. I’m thinking of making an appointment with him.” It makes sense. Eddie Trapp had cut his basketball teeth under the guidance of Coach/Dr. Welke. Notable: Loyola Academy senior guard Brandon Danowski poured in 22 points, 18 from three-point hardwood, in LA’s 61-44 defeat of visiting Marmion Academy on Feb. 5. Ramblers junior forward Ramar Evans hit for 18 points and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. Danowski and Evans were named to the all-Chicago Catholic League Team on Feb. 7, Danowski earning the distinction for the second year in a row. Ramblers junior Julian DeGuzman finished with seven points and five boards in the win over the Cadets. Classmate Jack Martinus had a six-point, five-rebound game. LA trailed 19-12 after one quarter and led 31-25 at the half.

LATE-SEASON PUSH New Trier’s Papoutsis tunes up at just the right time, wins regional title BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
A
ndrew Papoutsis, a future marketing major at Indiana University, is a concept guy. He’s an idea guy. He’s big on connecting the dots. A while back, Papoutsis introduced his older brother, Joey, to DJ music. “I thought my brother might go for it,” the New Trier senior said. It proved to be a match made in melody. Joey Papoutsis, a Syracuse University grad, is now managing the popular electronic music duo, Louis The Child. “I connect.That’s what I do,” said Papoutsis. “I’m the bridge between continents.” He also wrestles. And, on Feb. 6 at the Class 3A Glenbrook South Regional, Papoutsis wrestled extremely well. He recorded a 30-second pin against GBN’s Mason Slan in the 170pound title bout. The kid, who missed several weeks of the season with health issues, is moving on. Papoutsis will take a modest 9-5 record to the Barrington Sectional on Feb. 12-13. The regional title was validation for Papoutsis, who has had to navigate through a tough season. “I don’t know,” he said after his win over Slan. “I just rose to the occasion. I’ve been training hard. It feels good to be back in the swing of things. “I have my coaches to thank,” Papoutsis added. “I feel real confident in myself right now. I should do well at sectional.” He also praised fellow teammate Russell Sanchez. “Big props to him,” said Papoutsis. “I’m a three-year varsity wrestler. I used to fill in. I know how it feels to fill in.” Papoutsis was hardly tested at the regional. He opened the tourney with a 15-9 upset victory over Wheeling junior Scott Anderson (24-19). Then, he needed less than three minutes to pin Loyola’s Tom Lyons in the semifinal round. “Great tournament for Papoutsis,” said NT head coach Marc Tadelman. “He came through for us. It was nice to see him in the championship. “He’s got a lot of explosive moves,” the coach added. Wrestling runs pretty deeply in the Papoutsis family. His other older brother, Paul, was a state ARMED AND VICTORIOUS: New Trier’s Andrew Papoutsis claims the 170-pound title at the Glenbrook South Regional. PHOTOGRAPHY qualifier at 160 pounds in 2013. BY JOEL LERNER
He’s now a junior at the University of Chicago, where he’s built a 26-10 record so far this season. “Paul used to be the one interviewed,” said the younger brother. “This is my first time.” Who knows, it might not be his last. Meanwhile, New Trier, which took third (175 ½ points) in the team standings behind Wheeling (208) and Fremd (186), also had championship performances from sophomore Patrick Ryan and Jake Lowell. The Trevians also advanced junior Nick Elias, sophomore Jack Tangen, senior Jack DeBlasio, senior Jack Alcantara and senior Joe Modica. Ryan ruled the 132-pound class. He improved his record to 35-7 by scoring a major decision (13-2) over Fremd’s Grant Barwacz in the final. His other wins were by pin and major decision. Lowell is another red-hot wrestler for the Trevians. He came up with a technical fall (15-0) against Loyola’s Andrew Gonzalez in the 182-pound final. He also pinned his semifinal opponent: Fremd’s Doug Sheehan. He will take a shiny 30-4 record to Barrington. Elias (29-12) will be looking for win No. 30 at the sectional after taking runner-up honors to Hersey standout Mitch MacTavish at 120. Tangen (18-21) just missed winning a regional crown at 126. He was edged in the final by Fremd’s Cole Riemer 5-4. In the title bout at 138, DeBlasio lost a heart-breaker to Wheeling’s Tristen Guaman 5-4. He’ll head to Barrington with 25 wins and 17 losses. Alcantara joined the 30-win club (30-13) but was unable to claim a regional title, when he was defeated by Wheeling powerhouse Jaylen Shaw 10-3 in the 152-pound final. Modica kept his season going, when he pinned Glenbrook South’s Edgar Borun in 2:32 in the thirdplace match at 195. Modica (33-12) also pinned Borun in the finals of the Central Suburban League. Meanwhile, NT senior Willem Kupets (29-15) just missed qualifying to the sectional, when he lost a 9-6 decision to Fremd’s Quinn Burgles in the 160-pound thirdplace match. Sophomore Andrew Moy, at 106, also placed fourth in the tourney.

NT’s Arenson feeling right at home on hardwood BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
Y
ou have to love the athlete in Shayle Arenson. The New Trier senior is best known for her play on the softball field. The athletic Arenson is a base-stealing middle infielder for NT’s Girls of Spring. On the basketball court, the 5-foot-9 Arenson is more of a role player. At the start of the season, the hustling guard was one of the first “athletes” off the bench for head coach Teri Rodgers, who loves having multi-sport athletes on her squad. Then, in late December, Arenson was thrust into the starting lineup, when star point guard and Colgate University recruit Haley Greer sustained a back injury, Greer has missed 16 straight games. And according to Rodgers, she remains “day to day.” Arenson, meanwhile, is just trying to make the most of the situation. Usually, she finds herself in the shadows of teammates Jeannie Boehm, Kathryn Pedi and Autumn Kalis. And, for the most part, that again was the case, when the Trevians edged Evanston 62-61 in a Central Suburban League South Division showdown on Feb. 5. Harvard-bound Boehm did her thing. The 6-foot-3 McDonald’s All-American tossed in 27 points to go along with six rebounds and three assists. Pedi, a Holy Cross recruit, came up with 17 points and 15 rebounds. And the ever-improving Kalis tallied seven of her nine points in the second half. She added four assists. And who came up with the biggest shot of the game? Arguably, that belonged to Arenson. With 3:03 left in regulation, Arenson drilled a three-pointer
from the left wing against an unsuspecting Evanston zone defense. Her instincts took over. “I was wide open,” said Arenson, who is not one to fire up a lot of threes. “I felt like I had to take it. “I wasn’t thinking about anything,” she added. “My dad always says not to think when you shoot.” The three-pointer was key. The pressure was on. After trailing by nine points after three quarters, Evanston was on a 6-0 run at the time. The Wildkits had cut NT’s lead down to three points. “For her to take that shot right then. That was insane,” said Pedi. “But we have confidence in her. We have so much confidence in each other.” In front of a huge crowd — this game preceded the varsity boys game — New Trier (23-4, 9-0) did just enough to beat a dangerous Evanston team (21-4, 7-2). Wildkits guard Savannah Norfleet (18 points) missed a hurried half-court shot at the buzzer. “It was an exhilarating win,” said Arenson. The fun is just beginning. Basketball’s championship season begins on Feb. 15. The Trevians, who took third in the Class 4A state tournament, are set to host a sectional. Once the season ends, look for Arenson at a local ball diamond. She’s got big plans for the 2016 softball campaign. “I’d like to hit around .380,” said Arenson, who figures to move to shortstop. Last spring, as the team’s starting second baseman, she hit .286 with 21 runs and 15 RBIs. She also finished with a teamhigh nine steals in 10 attempts.

THE ART OF GIVING
BY BILL MCLEAN
T
he love story started at a summer resort in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Holly was 13 years old. Barry was 14. The girl lived in Evanston in the early 1960s, the boy in unincorporated Glenview. A jukebox at the resort played songs, some by a new artist, Johnny Mathis. The boy and the girl danced. “He was tall, 5-foot-11,” Holly, 5-foot-7 at the time, recalls, her eyes twinkling. “He was a good dancer, fast song playing or a slow one, and the cologne he was wearing that night … Old Spice. “I was a goner.” They dated during their high school years and their college years. They got married on the day of their University of IllinoisChicago graduation ceremony. Barry Kahan, an attorney, and Holly Kahan, a business owner, will celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary on June 18. Holly’s business, based in the Kahans’ home in Highland Park, is HollyBarry House, Ltd, of Chicago, a relationship marketing company that provides creative, meaningful gift items. She handles the orders of corporate clients and personal customers. Employees receive the gift items from bosses and colleagues. Friends and loved ones receive the gift items from friends and loved ones. HollyBarry House’s mission statement: “Our commitment is for people to be acknowledged for the contribution they are to the lives of others.” Holly Kahan considers music a gift. She considers a scent a gift. Both are lasting. Both drew her to a significant gift, Barry, decades
ago. Lasting. The aromas of six buttermilk pancakes and three strips of bacon waft and intersect in front of her at a booth in the Walker Bros. Original Pancake House in her hometown. It is 11 days before Valentine’s Day, a day of love, of gift giving — often of the scrambling variety — in many countries. “My business is a win-win-win situation,” Kahan, a former board member of the Northbrook Cham-ber of Commerce, says. “The recipient of a gift gets to feel special. The sender of the gift gets to fulfill a good intention. And I get to facilitate the gift-giving. Humans want and need to feel a connectedness, a relatedness, in their business lives and in their personal lives.” Kahan reaches inside a white envelope and presents a plastic card, slightly bigger than a business card. Her company’s logo is on one side of the card. On the other side is a Maya Angelou quote, one of Kahan’s favorites, one that captures the spirit of HollyBarry House. “I’ve learned,” the quote starts, “that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” A new board director of a nonprofit organization wanted to purchase gifts for her board members before her first meeting. She contacted HollyBarry House.
A man wants to buy his best friend a birthday gift. The man has no idea what to buy. Enter Holly Kahan. She helps the man select an item that celebrates the occasion — and the relationship. “I ask three questions before working for a client,” Kahan says. “ ‘What is the occasion? What is your budget? What do you know about the person?’ A big influence of mine has been Faith Popcorn, a futurist, a marketing futurist specifically. She predicted relationship marketing would be a marketing trend in the 1990s. Creating meaningful relationships with the special people in your life, business and personal, is important. It’s also important to reinforce those relationships.” Kahan, mother of three and grandmother of seven, established HollyBarry House in 1995. It has survived three U.S. economy dips.

I especially like walking on sunny mornings. I also like to pretend I own the place.” Her favorite place in the world is anywhere near where her husband happens to be at the moment. Holly celebrates their differences: Holly is a planner, an adventurer; Barry is low key, easy-going, spontaneous. They served as a presenting couple in the Chicago Jewish Marriage Encounter movement. Married couples, Holly contends, should be more aware of their inherent power of two. Holly remembers a night at home when temporary clutter, children’s toys scattered and dirty dishes awaiting attention, irked her. Barry defused the moment with a timely suggestion. “He told me, ‘Let it go and sit down with me,’ ” Holly, eyes still twinkling, says. “Then he said, ‘Let’s watch TV and hold hands.’ He’s my rock, my spinal column.” The toys got picked up and the dishes got cleaned after the Kahans’ impromptu in-house date. Their Valentine’s Day plans this weekend will be simple and touching, the best kind. They will write a love letter to each other, Holly wielding a pen to compose hers, Barry tickling a computer keyboard to craft his. “I’ll probably also rent a DVD for both of us to watch, one that he will love and I will hate,” Holly says.
