D-112 Fate In Voters’ Hands

10th District Showdown By steve sadin Dailynorthshore.com

emocratic voters in the 10th Congressional District will decide in the March 15 primary election if they want to nominate their former Congressman or a suburban mayor to unseat Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) in the November 8 general election. Former Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) and Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering have been running against each other for the job of representing the district for nearly a year with growing intensity since January. Early voting for the primary began February 29. Mailboxes and the airwaves have been filled with advertising, some of it negative, to distinguish themselves to the voters. They agree on many issues. Schneider spent most of his career before running for Congress in 2012 as a management consultant primarily helping family businesses. He also owned and operated a life insurance business. He has an engineering degree and a MBA from Northwestern University. Dold was first elected in 2010 in a close contest with Dan Seals

ighland park—As the March 15 referendum approaches, residents are still divided about consolidating three middle schools into a three-story building which would accommodate up to 2,000 fifth through eighth grade students on the Sherwood/Red Oak site in southwest Highland Park. While Moving 112 Forward supports the North Shore School District (NSSD) 112 plan, CARE (Citizens Against 112 Referendum) opposes the $198 million plan that would include renovating the six remaining schools. Voters will have the final say March 15. Former Superintendent ’s Citizen Finance and Facilities Advisory Committee (SCFFAC) Co-Chair Dan Littman spoke out against the referendum at the Feb. 28 CARE Meeting: “There’s a misconception that Continued on PG 12

“People are done with the drama and dysfunction of the caucus. I am too.” —Marilyn Prodromos

The independent candidates have joined forces, encouraging voters to elect all three candi dates, with lawns signs as well as a website www.winnetkaindependents.com. Meanwhile, Caucus-backed candidate Holland already has voted against One Winnetka in September as a member of the Plan Commission. “It is painful. There is nothing in these recommendations I can vote for,” she said at the commission’s Sept. 30 meeting. As the village looks to solve its storm-water problems, the Caucus-endorsed candidates support consultants Strand Associate’s plan to route storm water westward. But they have criticized the council’s use of taxpayer money to pay hundreds of thousands in consultant fees on a proposed storm-water tunnel that was abandoned due to run-away costs.

form constrains financing for capital improvements within the village. Their candidates are likely to find excuses to postpone work on storm-water solutions,” their website states. And all three independent candidates said at the Rotary Club February 11 meeting, that the village’s storm water fee was a fair and appropriate way to generate revenue, according to a Chicago Tribune article. The independent candidates have also voiced strong opposition to the Winnetka Caucus, an organization they view as irrelevant and backwards thinking. “People are done with the drama and dysfunction of the caucus. I am too,” Prodromos is quoted as saying on their website. Soon enough it will be the residents turn to weigh in, as they vote next week to elect trustees that will lead the village on these critical issues.

They have also criticized the village’s storm water utility fee. While the independent candidates also support solving the village’s flooding problems, they question any constraints on financing for capital improvements. “The Caucus plat-

NEWS 1oth district Cont. from PG 1 and lost the seat to Schneider by a percentage point two years later. Dold won it back over Schneider in 2014 in another narrow race. Rotering, currently in her second term as mayor of Highland Park after serving two years on the City Council there, prepared herself for elective office serving on commissions in Highland Park as well as being active in the community while raising her children. Before “stepping off the corporate ladder,” Rotering worked in finance at General Motors and practiced health care law. She earned an undergraduate degree from Stanford University, like Schneider and Dold a MBA from Northwestern and a law degree from the University of Chicago. Schneider Lists economy, education and gun violence as priorities Schneider said his three priorities for the people of the district are growing the economy to strengthen the middle class, insuring quality education for every child and reducing gun violence. “We need to grow our economy from the middle out,” Schneider said. “If our economy is growing in a robust, sustainable way, we will be better able to tackle the other issues we face as a nation. If our economy is less strong, these other challenges become all the more daunting.” Rotering also lists economic development and education among her top three priorities for the district along with infrastructure and transportation. “Congress needs to provide

Index_3.12_East_LL.indd 12

impactful incentives for our many businesses to stay in the U.S., not to mention Illinois, and ensure that a broad range of jobs are available, paying a fair wage for a full day’s work,” Rotering said. Adequate school funding is an important part of her education agenda, Rotering said. “We must address the inequities in our educational system with federal and state resources to ensure that all children have educational opportunities that will allow them to succeed,” Rotering said. Tied to economic development, Schneider said a quality education ensuring youngsters the ability to get a good 21st century job or achieve college success is what will assure prosperity for future generations. He also expressed concern over the cost of college. “We have to address the high cost of higher education so that our young people don’t graduate with dream-crushing debt,” Schneider said. Rotering said the country needs a long-term approach to improving transportation and infrastructure. She said the 10th District is a microcosm of the nation’s problems of getting around. “Traveling east to west and vice versa in the 10th District is an exercise in daily frustration,” Rotering. “In addition to lost employee productivity, businesses also feel the impact as inadequate roads, rail systems and ports slow down the transport of supplies and manufactured goods.” Gun violence is the third prong of Schneider’s top issues.

He wants to ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines, close the gun show loophole, require universal background checks and make gun trafficking across state lines a federal offense. He said he also wants to address mental health related aspects. “We have to look no further than the City of Chicago where more than 100 people have been killed by gun violence in the first two months of the year,” Schneider said. “Nationwide, it is 90 a day with two thirds taking their own lives.” Though not among her first three issues for the district, Rotering said she is proud of the way she led the Highland Park City Council to pass a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. She said it is a top national priority. Schneider said he is proud of some of his legislative accomplishments too. He introduced legislation to sanction Hezbollah and assure Israel maintains its qualitative military edge over its neighbors. The first passed 404-0 and the second 399-0. “Passing these bills started long before the legislation was drafted,” Schneider said. “Building personal relationships with my colleagues was a huge part of these successes, when I introduced the bills they already trusted me and respected my expertise on these issues and it went a long way to the legislation passing in a bipartisan fashion.” The 10th District includes all of Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Highland Park, Deerfield and Highwood as well as parts of Glenview and Northbrook.

d-112 fate Cont. from PG 1 a two middle school solution is more expensive,” he said. “Self-imposed constraints include elementary schools that enroll the same number of students, and having 100 percent air conditioning need to be relaxed. In reality there’s a lot of ways to build two schools for less.” Another SCFFAC member chimed in from the audience. “We don’t have to build the new middle school. It will destroy the community. To allow “YES’ to prevail, you can kiss Highland Park goodbye,” said Jerry Meister. However, Highland Park resident Beth Goshen supported the referendum, but wanted to learn more about CARE’s views. “I’m even more of a ‘YES’ person than I was before the meeting began,” said Goshen. “I’m very frustrated, because I feel like the ‘NO’ side is more concerned about finances, and tax issues. I’m concerned about the kids’ benefits. This is a broken system.” In the event of a failed referendum, the district plans to close Lincoln, Green Bay, Elm Place and Ravinia schools. This would result in an estimated annual savings of $5 million f rom dismissing 74 teachers and staff. In addition, savings of $6.5 million of life safety costs in the near term and over $45 million in longterm capital costs would be achieved. Building closures would occur in the 2017-2018 school year. Supporters and critics have been placing “Vote YES” and “Vote NO” yard signs throughout Highland Park. The opposition is concerned about lower property values; increased traffic, and having one “big box” school. While others are in favor of full-day kindergarten, dual language programs, and increased safety features that the proposed plan would offer. The proposed middle school would have two separate entrances: one for fifth and sixth graders and another for seventh and eighth grade students. Len Tenner former co-chair of District 112’s SCFFAC, and Moving 112 Forward steering committee member, explained his role in the reconfiguration process at the March 1 Committee of the Whole Meeting. In 2014, he suggested the board consider three alternatives. These were taken to the community in a series of meet-

ings and in an online survey. The majority of respondents favored six elementary schools and two middle schools. “This is exactly what is proposed in the referendum,” said Tenner. “Never was there any discussion of where these buildings had to be located.” In July of 2015, the school board narrowed it down to two options: a single 5-8 middle school campus on the Sherwood/Red Oak site with six feeder schools, or two separate middle schools at Edgewood and Olson Park with six feeder schools. But the Park District decided against utilizing Olson Park for the District 112 middle-school reconfiguration plan in August 2015. Park District Board President Scott Meyers, explained, “Olson Park is more complicated because we share it. Our mandate is to facilitate more open and green space, so the prospect of converting more open green space where there is no construction and developed property right now would be inconsistent with our mission.” At the Sept. 15 district meeting, the board joined in support of the one middle school model. Jennifer Ferrari, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, explained the concept of the single middle school campus. Students would be divided into teams of six teachers where each teacher would work exclusively with 150 students. “That’s 25 kids per teacher just like a fifth grade classroom,” she said. “This creates a feeling of a small school, but in a setting that offers the resources and opportunities of a large one.” In December 2015, District 112 voted in favor of placing a $198 million bond on the March 2016 ballot in support of the proposed school recon-

figuration plan. Some of the proposed benefits of the reconfiguration plan would include; full day kindergarten, renovations, air conditioning, and security vestibules, to Braeside, Ravinia and Indian Trail elementary schools, as well as Edgewood and Northwood Junior High, which would be converted to elementary schools. Under this plan, Elm Place Middle School would close, along with Red Oak, Sherwood, Lincoln and Wayne Thomas elementary schools. The average age of the facilities is 74 years old When the League of Women Voters endorsed the D-112 referendum on Jan. 20, 2016, Davis Schneiderman, CARE steering committee member responded to Daily North Shore: “CARE will only endorse a plan that solves our financial challenges without compromising our education excellence. This referendum–$198 million plus $150+ million in interest for a single-middle school of 1900+ students–ignores community recommendations and imperils our district. We’ll keep working for a better plan that respects the community ’s values,” he said. League of Women Voters, and Moving 112 Forward member, Rick Heineman forewarned: “The future of our community depends on this passing,” he said. “If it fails, we’ll have one of the worst schools in the northern suburbs. As public officials they have to take action even if they think another referendum will pass. They can’t risk the district going bankrupt. Funding from the state will go down over $400,000 a year. There are no idle threats.” To learn more about the referendum visit 112information. org.

Since then, he’s put those abilities to use making Scout Story videos for the LFHS booster organization Applause and Cherokee Middle School. He’s currently at work building a video for Montessori School of Lake Forest for their website. When someone wants a video done, they contact New Media teacher Steve Douglass, who pairs the right storyteller with the project.

Scout Stories really puts you in the right direction for making client-based videos that could potentially be a career in the future.”

FILM REVIEW

Knight of Cups By Jake Jarvi

errence Malick doesn’t respect our time. That’s the only conclusion I can draw after a press screening of Knight of Cups. Even when his movies are critically lauded, such as with The Tree of Life, I think most of us in the general public emerge at the end wondering why critics tricked us into sitting through it. We’re probably supposed to simply stare in wonder at the hodgepodge quilt of scenic imagery and beautiful movie stars to which he points his wandering wide-angle lenses, but, mostly, I’m just bored. In Knight of Cups, Rick (Christian Bale, The Big Short) works in Hollywood. The people around him tell him he’s successful, that he’s the guy. They never actually mention what he does in the industry and we never see him doing any of it. Instead, we watch as he walks through a variety of environments: the dessert, a movie studio backlot, a torn down house, Las Vegas, a museum, a string of gorgeous modern houses with surprisingly bare walls, and colorful parties full of pretty people. Occasionally, Ben Kingsley (Self/ less), who never appears in the movie, but is credited as narrator, whispers narration ripped from

the pages of the 1678 Christian allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress. His reading sounds properly Shakespearean and lends an air of importance to the proceedings, but never provides the thread necessary to turn the film into a narrative of any kind.

Instead, it’s just a layer of antiquated metaphor piled on top of Malick’s disconnected visual tone poem. The one thing the film seems interested in exploring is Rick’s prolific romantic history with a variety of women. Halfway

through the running time, I came to understand why none of his amorous relationships had any staying power. Every time Rick is alone in a room with a woman, instead of having a conversation, they walk around the room posing for each other for awhile,

then they either chase each other around the room and roll around on the bed or slowly touch each other’s faces. Each relationship is interesting for about a minute and a half. Each of the actresses portraying his love interests bring at

least a bit of new energy to their tiny sections of the film, especially Natalie Portman (Thor: The Dark World) and Imogen Poots (She’s Funny that Way). Cate Blanchett (Carol) shows up for 10 minutes to trick us into caring about Rick for a second by giving us the only hint of backstory and character exploration in the whole movie. She actually manages to say a few lines of dialogue on camera as well, an impressive feat when Malick prefers to have most of the characters dialogue run over images of them walking around and projecting moodiness at each other. All things considered, this is not a particularly fun way to spend two hours. With no narrative story in sight there’s no way of telling where you are in the movie, making it feel hopelessly endless. Each scene seems to start with a aimless Bale trying to get his bearings and figure out where he is now and what he should be doing. Like Malick drove a couple recognizable faces to some fantastic location, gave them no direction or sense of what they were trying to accomplish, and told them to “Exploooore. But no words. Just physicality.” The whole thing feels like an interminable acting class exercise. One I wish I’d skipped.

Taco Lago Joins Wilmette Food Scene

By emily spectre dailynorthshore.com

INNETKA – A new restaurant called Taco Lago has opened in Wilmette in the Spanish-style shopping center Plaza de Lago on

about opening a restaurant in the storefront formerly occupied by Artisan he was immediately interested. “I had been wanting to do a taqueria and being Plaza de Lago it fit with the motif,” he said. Lenon is no stranger to the Wilmette restaurant scene. He opened the popular restaurant Fuel in downtown Wilmette six years ago and was also a partner in Nick’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill before selling his share. Lenon brings to this new venture his passion for local, fresh and farm-to-table food that continues to draw customers to Fuel. Chef Armondo Esquivel — who is also a chef at Fuel — created a menu that is authentic Mexican food and incorporates his own family recipes. “He is probably the most talented chef on the North Shore. He is amazing,” Lenon said. The menu offers a variety of soft corn tacos that include among others marinated pork shoulder, strip steak or marinated fish, as well as soups and salads. Everything from the salsa, chips and Sheridan Road. With the tag line tortillas are made fresh on site. “locally sourced crafted with love,” The menu is also primarily gluten the taqueria is a welcome addition and dairy free, with gluten free to the Wilmette food scene. cupcakes for sale from the WilWhen the Moss Family, owners mette’s new bakery, Gigi’s Cupof Plaza de Lago, approached cakes. The restaurant also offers restaurant owner Tim Lenon beer, wine and house made mar-

garitas and cocktails. “The food is healthy but tasteful sticking with that theme of what I do. If you are going to go out to eat, why not do it better than at home?” Lenon said. Lenon described the restaurant as a “fast casual,” where customers order from a large counter at the front of the restaurant and food is delivered to the table. The atmosphere may be best described as industrial with a cool Latin vibe. The concrete floor is dyed while the ceiling is completely exposed. All of the furniture was repurposed from when Artisan occupied the space, with spacious tables in the front of the restaurant and small square tables surrounded by colorful metal stools situated in the back. Succulents are planted into each of the tables, a unique feature that was created by Lenon’s mother, who is landscape designer. Perhaps most striking is a large graffiti mural that was done by Chicago artist Mario Miramontis, who has shown his art across the country. Another wall features silhouettes of all of the investor’s children with the words Taco Lago done in Miramontis’ graffiti lettering. Lenon is excited to see Wilmette’s business community evolve as more restaurants con-

tinue to open. He’s observed how the Wilmette business community is becoming more cohesive and working together. And while he thinks there is more work to be done, he’s pleased to see some progress. “There is now a sense of community outside of sports and education [in Wilmette],” Lenon said. Lenon envisions Taco Lago as the perfect spot for anyone to enjoy a bite to eat. With a varied yet healthy menu that ranges in price from $6 to $12, he seeks to

appeal to most people. And he also thinks it is a good place for kids to eat something healthy, instead of processed food. “It has been super well received. I knew it was a niche that was needed in the area,” Lenon said. Taco Lago is located in Plaza de Lago, 1545 Sheridan Road, Wilmette. It is open Monday – Thursday 11:00 am – 9:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00 am – 10:00 pm and Sunday 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. For more information go to www.tacolago.com.

Socials Back to the 80s Bash at Gorton Community Center Photography by Larry Miller

Gorton Community Center came alive during their recent Back to the 80s event, held in honor of the Drop-In Center’s 30th Anniversary, as well as John Hughes’ popular films created in the 80s. Guests came in radical costumes, with Miah and Kelley Armour walking away with the top prize for their portrayal of Run DMC and Boy George. Local favorite Sixteen Candles performed on the John & Nancy Hughes Theater stage. Guests enjoyed food from Froggy’s and cocktails from Schaefers, and were blown away with an appearance by a Michael Jackson impersonator. Guests were entertained by an 80s montage, put together by Lake Forest High School senior Tucker Strang, along with a short film about the history of Gorton, produced by MK Films. Co-chaired by Sam and Barrett Davie and Kristin and Jamie Wildman, the night was full of nostalgia, big hair, and even bigger laughs. gortoncenter.org

TeChnO Luxury

The homebuyer of today is definitely concerned with keeping up—not with the Joneses, perhaps, but with the ever-changing face of technology. A fully appointed den or media room used to be an important selling point in a home—today, these things are de rigueur, standard in nearly every home on the market. In order to increase the market appeal of your home and be competitive with other homes of comparable structure, size and amenities for sale in your area, the new key selling point of a property is the home office. Once a rarity, the home office has evolved into the home’s hub and center of operation and activity, often controlling every technological amenity of the house from one room. Modern home automation systems link lighting, heating and air conditioning systems, as well as audio-visual equipment, security systems and the scheduling of television, recording systems, stereo equipment and lighting fixtures. The modern home office isn’t just for business professionals, technological connoisseurs, or the higher-earning set, either. Today’s home technology features are high-end home amenities that are available across a wide range of budgets, turning an average home into an above-average home when it hits the market, giving tech-savvy dwellings a competitive market edge. Take a look at your home’s wiring, routing and see what simple upgrades you could implement that would simplify your day-to-day living while you’re in the home, and that could add top-dollar value to your home when it comes time to put it on the market. Ask yourself: Is your home techno-ready?

The Ryan Factor Scouts receive a big lift from resurgent Kitchel in postseason action BY kevin reiterman, sports@northshoreweekend.com

o this is the other Ryan Kitchel. The animated one. The emotional one. The hardly recognizable one. The usually mild-mannered Lake Forest High School senior showed his other side in last week’s Class 4A Glenbrook North Regional. He flipped the switch. This was a different Ryan Kitchel. This was the (pick one) hypedup, fired-up and charged-up version of Ryan Kitchel. “It was the playoffs,” Kitchel said. “I didn’t want the season to end. “I fed off the crowd,” he added. “Everyone did.” The well-put-together 6-foot2, 190-pound forward, who is best know as a defensive ace, arguably came up with his best two games of the season. He scored a careerhigh 15 points in a thrilling 58-55 regional semifinal victory over the host Spartans on March 1. Then, on March 4, in the regional final — a heart-breaking, punch-in-the-gut 50-49 loss to Deerfield — Kitchel was on his game again. He was a factor. He made you take notice. “I’d have to say that I’ve always been an emotional player,” said Kitchel. “But I really don’t know how to explain what got into me in those last two games.” “His adrenaline picked up,” Lake Forest head coach Phil LaScala said. Kitchel was fiercely competitive. And he did it without losing any of his dignity. His No. 1 responsibility in the title game was guarding one of the best point guards in the state: Jordan Baum. He defended him brilliantly. “I wasn’t looking to get into his head or anything like that,” Kitchel said. “I wanted it only to be about basketball.” Thanks to Kitchel’s tight marking, the Scouts pretty much held Baum in check. The 6-4 guard, who had put up 25 points in a regional semifinal win over Maine East on March 1, was limited to 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting.

Sports_3.12_East_LL.indd 2

“Coming off the GBN game, I was pretty confident,” said Kitchel, who ended the game with six points, four steals and two assists. One missed shot — a threepoint attempt from the top of the key, which fell half way down the cylinder before popping out — in the first half will haunt him for a while. “Not getting a shot like that to fall happens to everyone,” said Kitchel. “But, in hindsight, looking at the final score, we [really] could’ve used those three points.” Now that he’s healthy, Kitchel, who will attend either Illinois or Indiana next year, plans to rejoin the school’s lacrosse team this spring. A midfielder, he’ll get a chance to team up with his twin brother Daniel, a defenseman. “I don’t know what to expect,” said Kitchel. “Basketball is my main sport, but I do like the physical [nature] of lacrosse. I like all that contact.” Just ask Jordan Baum.

The secret to Kitchel’s success? Knowing him. The two players are former club basketball teammates with Fundamental U. “We’re friends,” said Kitchel. “I’ve played with him. I’ve played against him. And prior to this game, I watched a lot of film on him.” Kitchel managed to handcuff Baum most of the night. The 6-foot-4 Baum, who plays the game with style and elegance, didn’t make a three-pointer, while several of his patented drives to the basket were disrupted by Kitchel. A standup guy, Baum, who will play collegiately at the University of Chicago next year, didn’t hold back after the game. He gave props to Kitchel. “Credit him. Great defense,” Baum said. “He’s a physical player. He took me out of my game.” But Baum, as he usually does, found a way — in the end.

With his team trailing LF 49-47 with 7.1 seconds left in regulation, Baum and his fellow Warriors came out of a timeout with a master(ful) plan. Baum, a lefty, received an inbounds pass out on top, drove to his left, drew a double team and then rifled a cross-court, againstthe-grain pass to Jeremy Sernick, who was lurking beyond the threepoint line in the right corner. Sernick, who also hit a buzzerbeating, game-winner in Deerfield’s 60-59 win over Evanston in the Central Suburban League championship on Feb. 24, calmly buried a three as the horn sounded. “Coach (Dan McKendrick) drew it up,” said Baum. “I was supposed to come off a ball screen and make a decision.” Instead of shooting, Baum chose to put the onus on Sernick. “We’ve got five shooters on the floor,” he said. “Besides, my shots weren’t falling tonight.”

For the Scouts (18-10), Sernick’s clutch three was a dagger in the heart. “He [Baum] made a nice play,” said LaScala. “And the kid [Sernick] hit a big shot.” “It’s never good to have the season end that way,” Kitchel added. Putting Kitchel on Baum was an equally masterful plan, which probably took LaScala less than a five-second call to make. Besides, there was precedence. On Dec. 12, in the Scouts’ 44-38 regular-season win over the visiting Warriors, Kitchel held Baum to six points. “Ryan’s our defensive stopper,” said the LF coach. “He loves those kind of challenges. “He guarded the other team’s best player 99 percent of the time this year,” LaScala added. Concentrating on the ‘D’ might have affected his ‘0’. And so did this: Kitchel under-

Heady Ramar

Strong, smart Evans nearly wills Ramblers to regional championship BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

amar Evans gripped the ball and threw a right-handed fastball. It also could have passed for a football pass, tightspiraling to a wideout crossing the middle of a field. What Evans, a Loyola Academy junior guard, chucked was a basketball in a big basketball game on March 1. The ball, after traveling about half the length of a court, landed in the hands of junior Julian DeGuzman, who plopped it in for an easy bucket in a Class 4A regional semifinal at Loyola Academy. The field goal on hardwood gave LA a 51-42 lead against visiting New Trier, with 55 seconds left in the fourth quarter. It turned out to be a crucial deuce, since NT would score the final seven points in the final 53 seconds of a 51-49 Loyola Academy victory. “Second half of the season, Ramar has been a fantastic guard for us, a fantastic basketball player,” Ramblers coach Tom Livatino said. “He has, essentially, put the team on his shoulders.” Evans’ shoulders are part of a 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame. They hanger-support sculpted arms that would look perfectly normal on the cover of this month’s Men’s Fitness magazine. Or any month’s. Loyola Academy football coach John Holecek would like nothing more than to see those shoulders under football pads on Game Days in the fall. How often does Holecek attempt to lure Evans to a football field? “Every time I see him at the school,” a smiling Evans said. Evans poured in three touchdowns worth of points against fifth-seeded New Trier (17-10), with 10 of his 18 coming in the first half. He tallied four of 12thseeded Loyola’s points in a 14-0 run at the outset of the second half, helping the hosts secure a 36-23 lead. It took the Ramblers three minutes and 46 seconds to score 14 points. That’s one unanswered point every 16 seconds. Fantastic and fun and frenetic. The run transformed Loyola’s student cheering section into a pulsating mass of happiness, all lathered up. “We made big plays,” Evans said, his explanation serving as the equivalent of a shrug. NT got back in it at the start of the fourth quarter, netting seven free throws in an 11-2 spurt. What

The senior looked around. Reflected. Looked around some more. “It’s going to be weird, not playing basketball at this level again,” he said. “Maybe I’ll play some CYO basketball.” Notable: Ramblers coach Tom Livatino, on what his team’s record was after it defeated New Trier 51-49 in a Class 4A Loyola Academy Regional semifinal on March 1: “We’re 16-14, a robust 16-14.” … Ramblers senior guard Brandon Danowski finished with 13 points (three treys), and freshman guard Andre White, Jr. tossed in 11 against the Trevians in the regional semifinal. … LA senior guard Will Plodzeen, on junior guard Ramar Evans, a chiseled product of Walt Disney Magnet School in Chicago: “He came here built that way.

Mount Shapiro

Affable senior provided a huge presence — and scoring punch — for Giants hockey team BY bill mclean, sports@northshoreweekend.com

avid Shapiro was four years old, maybe five, skating around the outdoor Sunset Ice Rink in Highland Park. He did not want to be anywhere else in the world. That all changed after he had generated serious momentum on the slick surface and had no idea where the emergency brake was located on his little body. Shapiro, careening, headed straight for a bundle of hay, an ice rink’s safety net. “I couldn’t stop,” Shapiro, a for ward/center, recalls. “I crashed. That made me cry.” Five minutes later, his face dry again, Shapiro returned to the ice. David Shapiro’s prep hockey career ended on Feb. 21. Highland Park High School’s Giants lost 6-4 to visiting Naperville Central in the first round of the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) varsity state playoffs on that date. Shapiro, a senior co-captain with classmate/winger Kieran Jagadeesh, scored on the first shift of the first period at Centennial Ice Arena. He scored again two shifts later. The 6-foot-4, 230pounder scored his third goal in the third period. Hat trick. Final game. Not a bad way to exit. “I love moving on the ice, moving a puck, picking up speed,” Shapiro, a tight end/ defensive end when he played football in high school, says. “In football, everybody has a job to do, an assignment each play. In hockey, every play is different. You’re never involved in the same play twice, and that’s what I love most about hockey.” Shapiro struck for two goals in his first organized hockey game. He got to keep a game puck. The puck found its way underneath Shapiro’s bed at home, and Shapiro, while cleaning his room one day, grabbed it and put it on a shelf in his room. It rests there today with another puck, signed by former Blackhawks great Bobby Hull. Back in his post-crash-into-hay days, Shapiro’s favorite player to watch was Joe Sakic, a star forward for the Colorado Ava-

Sports_3.12_East_LL.indd 5

lanche and a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Sakic retired from the NHL in 2009, right about the time Shapiro’s shot was the last thing an opposing goaltender wanted to face. A shot off Shapiro’s stick started to resemble a black bean then. “He was the player I followed, the player I liked to watch more than anybody else,” Shapiro says. “Colorado used to be my favorite team. Watching ESPN, I’d always see highlights of Sakic, and I’d think, ‘Wow, I’d like to be like him, play like he does.’ He seemed like a great guy.”

Shapiro scored a team-high 49 goals and provided 24 assists for the Giants in his junior season. His 73 points ranked second among teammates behind classmate Gavin Proeh’s 80 (41 goals, 39 assists). The squad went 35-11-4. Shapiro made the all-state team. This past winter, during a 20-20-5 season, Shapiro led the Giants again in goals (36) and played in a mid-winter all-star game in Rolling Meadows. “David’s size … he’s physically imposing, a big mountain of a man,” Giants coach Sean Freeman says of the four-year

varsity player. “You could bathe a newborn in one of his skates. That’s how big is feet are. I’m guessing his skate size is 13, which means his shoe size is probably 14 or 15. David’s shot … it’s an NHL shot, incredible velocity. When I was younger, I got to play with about 25 guys who made it to the NHL. David’s shots were like their shots, the way they propelled off his stick. He’s got a laser shot, mid-90s (mph), maybe as high as 100.” Shapiro visited the University of Illinois last weekend. A friend of his older brother, Alec,

showed him around the campus in Champaign. Alec, a student at the University of Indiana, played hockey for the Giants. David Shapiro is also considering Indiana and the University of Miami in Ohio. His probable major is either business or marketing, with an eye toward landing on sports-oriented career path in one of those fields. In the meantime he’s a happy and normal teen, enjoying his final weeks as a senior in high school, playing in the occasional pickup basketball game with hs friends, watching TV shows and movies on

Netflix. Mention J.J. Watt, the defensive end for the Houston Texans, and watch Shapiro light up. “He’s an animal,” Shapiro says. “He goes hard, every single play. Awesome. Awesome player. A role model. He played a little hockey when he was young.” It seems so long ago, a little David Shapiro experiencing an abrupt meeting with a bale of hay along the rim of an outdoor rink. Shapiro can laugh about it today. It’s a typical piece in the fabric of an athlete’s life, isn’t it? Boy gets upset in a sports endeavor. Boy ends up enjoying the sport, excelling in games. “I get players as kids when they start playing for me,” Freeman says. “I get to see them grow into young men. To me, there has not been a player, in my coaching career, better prepared for manhood than David is. He has matured incredibly through the years, persevered. David, no question, he could be doing anything after college. If you were to tell me, years from now, he’s a trial attorney, that wouldn’t surprise me. A comedian on “Saturday Night Live”? Wouldn’t surprise me. An executive with a company like Target? I’d think, ‘OK, that makes sense.’ “What I liked, really liked about David, was what I noticed before the start of every practice. David was always smiling when he showed up.” Notable: Senior co-captain Kieran Jagadeesh, a wing, paced the 2015-16 Giants in assists (31) and points (50). Senior cocaptain David Shapiro ranked second in points (43), just ahead of senior alternate captain Garrett Collopy (42 points — 21 goals, 21 assists). … Highland Park’s top goaltender, Ty Jablonski (four shutouts), finished 18-15-5, with a 2.95 goals-against average and a save percentage of .902. … Collopy scored twice in HP’s 6-3 defeat of visiting Mount Carmel in an exhibition game on March 6. Other Giants goals came from Jagadeesh, Jake Mandel, Dylan Abt and Aaron Hope.

The Trevian ended his decorated prep career with a flourish at the state meet last month at Evanston Township High School, setting state records in two events for athletes with disabilities and silvering in two others. He established Illinois marks in the 200-yard freestyle (2:11.92) and 100 free (58.63). Take a look at that time in the 200 free again. Three years ago, as a freshman at the state meet, Gentzkow clocked a 2:39.16 in the event.

Area stars make all-state New Trier, which finished 26-5 this winter, placed four players — Jeannie Boehm, Kathryn Pedi, Haley Greer and Autumn Kalis — on the 2016 Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) Class 3A/4A all-state team. Senior Jeannie Boehm was named to the First Team for the second year in a row. The 6-foot-3 Harvard University recruit is now a four-time IBCA all-stater. She was a Second Team selection in 2014, and she made Special Mention in 2013. Boehm, who earned McDonald’s All-America honors earlier this year, averaged 19.9 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game this winter. Her career numbers are impressive: 1,872 points, 1,169 rebounds, 374 blocks and 249 assists. The Trevians came up with 100 wins and four regional titles during her fouryear stint. Pedi, who will play college hoops at Holy Cross, claimed Second Team recognition. Last year, the NT senior wing was a Third Team pick. This winter, the four-year varsity performer averaged 12.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. She shot 45 percent (62-139) f rom three-point range and 82 percent (50-61) from the foul line.

Sports_3.12_East_LL.indd 12

For the second year in a row, Greer, who is headed to Colgate, made the IBCA Third Team. The veteran point guard, who missed 13 games due to a back injury, averaged 4.9 assists per game. She scored 7.8 points per game. Senior guard Autumn Kalis was NT’s fourth honoree. She earned Special Mention allstate honors after averaging 7.8 points, 2.4 assists and 2.5 assists per game. Glenbrook South, which won 25 games this season, had two all-state selections: senior forward Caitlin Morrison and junior guard Carie Weinman. Valparaiso-bound Morrison was named to the Second Team after averaging 15.6 points per game. She led her team in rebounds (190 and blocks (47). Weinman was a Fourth Team choice. She finished the season averaging 15.1 points per game. She shot 40 percent f rom three-point territory. She was the Titans’ team leader in steals (125) and assists (95). Loyola Academy standout Liz Satter, who will play her college basketball at the University of Pennsylvania, capped off her prep career by claiming Special Mention all-state accolades. The 6-2 post ended up with a 17.0 scoring average. She also pulled down 7.9 rebounds per game.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

Patients Inspire Cancer Doctor

By BILL MCLEAN

he doctor’s tranquil, confident bedside manner is apparent at a booth in a restaurant. Dean Tsarwhas, MD, has an easy smile, every hair in place, a runner’s trim build. He orders coffee and oatmeal (with blueberries and blackberries) and an English muffin at Egg Harbor Café in Lake Forest, his hometown since 2001. The tone of his order puts the waitress at ease. He makes eye contact with the employee, nods, returns the menu. His order puts his booth companion at ease as well. Dr. Tsarwhas listens to a question. His resting-heart-rate demeanor is part placid, part welcoming. If there ever comes a time when a doctor has to inform you of a cancer diagnosis, you would want to hear it from Tsarwhas. “The hardest part of my day,” Tsarwhas, 52, says of revealing such news to a patient. “As soon as I walk into the room, the patient is looking for clues from me, clues to what I am about to say. One of the first things I ask, after telling the patient, is, ‘Who is on your team?’ You have to have a team in place to support you every step of the way. That team could be the family or other loved ones or friends, or everybody in that person’s life.” Tsarwhas’ team is based at Northwestern Medicine’s Lake Forest Hospital. He was named captain of one of the hospital’s

groups in January, or Medical Director of Cancer Services at the hospital and Grayslake Outpatient Center. His specific teammates are surgeons, radiation doctors, nurse navigators, social workers, dieticians, hospital administrators. Northwestern Medicine’s Lake Forest Hospital also provides its patients a pathway to research and clinical trials conducted in Chicago. “It’s important to stay up with up-to-date findings in oncology, to stay connected with our Northwestern Medicine colleagues in Chicago,” Tsarwhas says. “We use a strong multidisciplinary approach. I am excited about the hospital, about what’s going on there, about its growth and connection to Northwestern Medicine. There’s nothing like it, Northwestern Medicine aligning with a community hospital, sharing resources, integrating. Lake Forest Hospital is an asset in Lake Forest … along the whole North Shore, really. “The people in this area are medically sophisticated,” he adds. “People here want the best care, and they’re getting it.” Tsarwhas grew up in Canton, Ohio, a punt, pass and kick away from that town’s Pro Football Hall of Fame. The future doctor, a son of a kindergarten teacher mom and a school administrator dad, wanted to be a crack debater at GlenOak High School, not a crack defensive back. Tsarwhas tackled assignments and aced

can be consuming. It’s also a calling. You have to love it, and I do. Every day I see strength and courage from my cancer patients. I see optimism and resiliency.” One of his patients had Stage 4 cancer. The patient ran in the Chicago Marathon one year and decided to run in it nine more times. The patient ran in the Boston Marathon three times. The patient is alive today, still refusing to exit life’s stage. Tsarwhas was in a restaurant when he recognized another former patient of his, a Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor. The survivor is now the father of a couple of kids. “I form strong relationships with my patients,” Tsarwhas says. “Many of my patients are friends for life. I think often of what my patients are going through, like a mother in her 30s with breast cancer, with young kids. I think of what she’s doing to be there for her kids, of how she’s rallying each day. I am in awe of her.” A year ago he spent

two weeks at the largest referral hospital in Uganda, teaching student residents and representing the American Society of Hematology. The hospital contains 1,500 beds. Some 3,000 patients had been admitted to the same hospital when Tsarwhas arrived. How big was the shoehorn that was used to pull off that feat? “The worst hospital in the United States would be the best hospital in Uganda,” Tsarwhas, also the vice chief of the Lake Forest Hospital medical staff and a faculty member of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, says. “There is such a disparity in resources. It made me appreciate what we have here. It was an unbelievable experience, spending time over there, seeing the challenges that country faces in patient care. The students there impressed me. They’re bright and eager, willing to learn.” The students asked questions. The students got answers. Tsarwhas, stateside, occasionally fields a question that has nothing to do with diagnoses or treatments. And everything to do with his state of mind. The question: Do you get depressed doing what you do? “I don’t,” Tsarwhas says. “It’s a privilege to come to work every day and help my patients live the longest and best life possible. The people I see, my patients, inspire me. I get inspired every day.”

classes, paving his way to admission at Northeastern Ohio University and a medical degree. He completed his residency at the University of Michigan and attained fellowship status at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard Medical School. Tsarwhas met a woman, Amy, on a blind date in Michigan. Amy worked for Chrysler at the time. Tsarwhas is Greek. Amy is Greek. Eerily, several years before the two had met, Amy’s mother, Christine, read about the success of a man named Dean Tsarwhas in a 1987 edition of the Orthodox Observer, a newspaper.
