Mystery of Large Cat Creature Solved BY JULIE KEMP PICK
H
IGHLAND PARK — A mystery surrounding a large feline that a local family caught on video walking by the ravine near Beech Street on April 17 might be solved. And it’s probably not a mountain lion. “We are working with a resident that lives near the 1100 block of Beech Lane to determine if the cat captured on the video is his cat,” said Deputy Chief Timothy Wilinski. “The owner is 99 percent sure it is his Savannah cat.” Last week the Highland Park police department put out an alert to residents based on the sighting of the animal. Residents were warned to “exercise caution when outdoors with their chilContinued on PG 12

Sandberg Delivers Big Thrill To Little Leaguers
AKE BLUFF — The first pitch of the Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association season from Hall of Fame second baseman and former Chicago Cub Ryne Sandberg was a ball. Just ask Miles Specketer, the 9-year-old Mustang League player who caught it. “It came in high,” Specketer said. “It was not a strike.” Sandberg, who recently purchased a home in Lake Bluff to be near his children and grandchildren, threw out the first pitch during opening ceremonies of the Lake Bluff baseball season April 16 at Weshinskey Field in Artesian Park. “He wasn’t going to beam it in,” said James Specketer, 11, Miles’ older brother, who plays in the Bronco League and caught the next pitch. “It was pretty awesome.” Securing Sandberg to throw out the first pitch came shortly after BR Koehnemann, an association board member and the oldest son of Ryne Sandberg and Margaret Sandberg, said his father would be happy to do it, according to league president Doug Cassidy. Finding a catcher for Sandberg was a more competitive process. The honor is auctioned off at a dinner the night before opening day to raise money for Continued on PG 12

The school’s lobby features two WPA murals (“Robin Hood”) painted by Mildred Waltrip in 1940. Benjamin said Pond & Pond designed the buildings at Hull House, and Van Bergen, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright and designer of numerous handsome Prairie School homes, has been the subject of books, articles and a recent symposium on his work. “The design of the school is loosely associated with Tudor architecture, but it is unusual, creatively executed in brick, with gabled wings flanking its arched entrance–imbedded in a stately square tower,” said Benjamin. Ravinia School anchors the Ravinia Business District and is very rich in its history, said Tempkin.

Lincoln Elementary School Landmarks Illinois chose Lincoln School because its design stands out as an important example of Classical Revival architecture — stately and imposing, according to Landmark’s April 13 announcement.

NEWS SANDBERG Cont. from PG 1 the league, according to Wes Wenk, another board member. The dinner was on April 8 followed by the traditional pancake breakfast at the Lake Bluff Fire station the following morning, but a snow-covered field prompted the league to move the season opener to April 16. Rodd Specketer, father of Miles and James, said he and his wife, Sarah Specketer, had to bid several times during the evening of April 8 to stay ahead of others vying for the same opportunity for their children. “We had to bid again at the pancake breakfast,” Sarah Specketer said. “Somebody had outbid us.” “I got them to do two pitches,” Rodd Specketer added, assuring both his sons would catch a ball thrown by major league player they had all watched many times before. “They know who he is. We’ve watched a lot of video. We’re big Cub fans.” There were also a few proud grandparents at the season opener, such as Dick Vie of Lake Forest, grandfather to Miles and James. “Being a parent has duties and responsibilities,” Vie said. “Being a grandparent is a privilege. You don’t get upset if they don’t catch the ball.” Cassidy said he played in the league as a child and was coached by his father, also Doug Cassidy. Now the younger Doug Cassidy coaches his sons on LBBA teams — Ryan Cassidy, 13, Michael Cassidy, 11, and Aedan Cassidy, 8.
It takes me back to when I played catch in the backyard with my father and my brothers. —Ryne Sandberg The opportunity to watch his grandchildren play baseball is one of the things Sandberg said he likes about being in Lake Bluff. “This setting for youth baseball is as good as it gets,” Sandberg said to the crowd before throwing the pitches. “We have (two grandsons) playing Pinto and two more (grandchildren) on the way by the holidays.” Not only does Sandberg get to watch his grandsons — Owen Koehnemann, 6, and Nathan Koehnemann, 5 — play in the league but they get to play with him in their yard. “I like to catch the ball,” Owen Koehnemann said. “I like how it feels to close the glove on the ball. It’s really fun to play catch with (my grandfather).
dren and pets” and urged citizens to report any sightings. However, it now appears to have been a large pet Savannah cat. According to Wilinski, the videotaped sighting was in the ravine behind the caller’s house. There was a second sighting reported near the railroad crossing near Lake Cook Road. Wilinski said a cat that “weighs 20 pounds and is 20 inches from the nose to the base of its tail” can easily be mistaken for a more intimidating feline: the serval, a medium-sized, “The owner has two Savannah large-eared, wild African cat. cats that he walks on a leash sometimes,” said Wilinski. “He • The bodies of Savannahs are long and leggy; when a has a GPS tracking device, but it doesn’t show historically where Savannah is standing, its hindit’s been.

He challenges me.” For Sandberg, the moment is part being a grandparent and part traveling down memory lane. “It takes me back to when I played catch in the backyard with my father and my brothers,” Sandberg said. “It’s a great feeling to catch the ball, throw it back and see (my grandchildren) catch it. It’s a very simple catch.” Nathan Koehnemann said he would rather hit the ball than catch it. “I like batting,” Nathan Koehnemann said. “It’s fun but sometimes it hurts my hands when light. Ideally, black or dark “tear-streak” or “cheetah tear” markings run from the corner of the eyes down the sides of the nose to the whiskers, much like that of a cheetah. Scott Ballard, natural heritage biologist/herpetologist at Illinois Department of Natural Resources in Carbondale said he’s gone on 20 to 25 sightings and all of them have been dog prints. He explained the difference: “Cats don’t have toenail prints, just dogs.” He added: “Just because people see the [large animals] they get excited and misidentify them. Most people aren’t biologists. I’ve seen house cats that are 40 pounds. We need clear identification.” Fortunately, the Savannah cat owner contacted the police, so Highland Park residents will sleep better tonight.

STANDOUT STUDENT
Building Free Access to Other Perspectives BY JAKE JARVI

lthough Election Day arrives March 15, early voting allows those who already have their minds made up to cast their ballots now. Anand Shankar learned to speak German in kindergarten. In middle school, he began to study French. When he started high school at North Shore Country Day School (NSCDS), he added Spanish to his repertoire. The summer before his senior year, he had an idea that transformed him from student to teacher. “I couldn’t actually find any resources for young children to learn languages online for free,” Shankar says. “There were resources that you could pay for, but there wasn’t a free platform. KIDlingua came about when I decided to create one.” KIDlingua.com offers anyone
with an Internet connection access to a Spanish language immersion course. The home page is in English. It’s colorful and fun, with many smiling young faces announcing the site’s key demographic. When you click through to the Spanish Units, the subsequent pages are all in Spanish, scrolling down each page you’ll find a list of key vocabulary words from the unit with play buttons to trigger a spoken pronunciation guide and the English word written right next to it. It acts very much like an interactive Spanish notebook with one exception. Each unit has an animated video to give the visual Spanish lesson context. With the help of two Spanish teachers from NSCDS, Carmen Gómez Fiegl and Maria Elena Centomo, acting as advisors, Shankar scripted six stories for a young computer animated boy
Anand Shankar
named Alex. Each story is narrated entirely in Spanish talking through several common situations Alex encounters, like Alex Goes to School, Alex and His Dog, or Alex Goes on a Trip. They’re between two and three minutes long and cover a range of vocabulary children in elementary school might find most useful in their day-to-day lives. Shankar animated the stories with the help of some friends from the community. KIDlingua currently has six Spanish language units and the home page announces that they’re currently at work developing German and French units, as well. “There’s a practical element, you can talk to more people, but there’s also an element where you’re opening a window to someone else’s culture, someone else’s way of thinking, into how another group of people live their
lives,” Shankar says. “I want kids to become enthralled by languages when they’re young and then they can be passionate about languages for the rest of their lives.” KIDlingua isn’t the only avenue through which Shankar tries to help people experience the perspectives of others. He’s also the editor of the NSCDS high school newspaper The Diller Street Journal. “I first joined the school paper in seventh grade,” he says. “It was always interesting to write stories, and it’s always interesting as an editor to see the different perspectives that different writers bring to the table. When you’re researching an issue, whether it’s a school issue or something in the community, exploring, talking to people who can give you their perspective on the topic at hand is definitely a fascinating process.”

and friends there. It always feels like going home. “As a founding member of Novel Affair 10 years ago, it provided a perfect venue for artists of all disciplines to give back to Ragdale what Ragdale had provided us: ‘a room of one’s own,’” She continued. “It’s important to see that it continues for the next generation of artists to work in such a beautiful and nurturing environment. The fact that Novel Affair has become an annual event is telling of its importance to both the artists and the community.” Funds raised during the Novel Affair will benefit the artists’ residencies, as well as Ragdale’s outreach programming. “That is Ragdale’s whole reason for being, as it deserves to be supported,” LeClaire said. “Imagine for a minute that you are sitting with your coffee, but there is no music on the radio, no art on your walls, no book to pick up. The arts define a culture. They reflect who we are and influence life in every way. Places like Ragdale that recognize it and support it are key.” Find more information about Ragdale and a Novel Affair at www.ragdale.org.

Piven Theatre Presents ‘Dead Man Walking’ BY JILL SODENBERG
E
very now and then a front page headline brings the subject of capital punishment into our consciousness with news of a death row inmate freed by DNA evidence or an article about the challenges states face obtaining drugs for lethal injections. We may briefly consider the issue of statesanctioned execution before turning the page to dig into the latest financial scandal or to check the sports scores. With its current production of Tim Robbins’s play “Dead Man Walking,” Piven Theatre Workshop puts the issue in front of North Shore audiences in a compelling drama—an explora-
tion of capital punishment that can be appreciated by those on both sides of the issue. If it is one woman’s extraordinary story, it is also a meditation on justice, mercy, humanity, and reconciliation—an affecting spiritual drama that does not permit theatergoers to turn the page. “Dead Man Walking,” directed by Mikalina Rabinsky, is an adaptation by Tim Robbins of the national bestselling book by Sister Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic nun who chronicled her journey as spiritual adviser to a death row inmate at Louisiana’s Angola Prison. Robbins also directed the 1995 film starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. Sister Helen Prejean (Patricia

Lavery) is living and working in an inner-city neighborhood when she begins a correspondence with a death row inmate, Matthew Poncelet ( Jay Reed), who has been convicted of the rape and brutal murder of a young couple, Hope Percy (Erica Bittner) and Walter Delacroix (Connor Baty). Poncelet maintains his innocence, blaming an accomplice, and asks Sister Helen to help him with one last appeal. Uncertain of where this may lead, she visits him in prison and finds an ego-driven, volatile man. She agrees to help him file the appeal. When his execution is ultimately scheduled, Sister Helen becomes his spiritual adviser—the state allows someone to fulfill this role—and she is driven by her belief in Christianity’s teaching that all sin can be forgiven. But she’s tested, as when Poncelet makes a play for her. “Look at you,” she tells him. “Death is looking down your neck and you’re playing little male come-on games.” Her hope is that ultimately he will accept responsibility for his crimes and experience reconciliation, and her vigil is constant to the end. “I can’t bear the thought that you would die without seeing one loving face. I will be the face of Christ for you,” she assures him. Sister Helen is forced to confront not only the agony of the parents of the murdered teenag-
Cast of Dead Man Walking. PHOTO BY ZW PHOTOGRAPHY
ers—Clyde Percy (Doug Schuetz), Marybeth Percy (Stephanie Monday), and Earl Delacroix (Marc Wilson)—but also that of Matthew Poncelet’s mother (Robin Chaplik). As the play explores the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, it also considers the ambivalence of those charged with carrying out the execution. Piven’s production extends a conversation begun in Evanston last year with the Block Museum’s exhibition “The Last Supper,” a show highlighting the
human dimension of capital punishment with an installation of 600 ceramic plates depicting the last meal requests of death row inmates in the United States. “Dead Man Walking” is the centerpiece of Piven’s Quality of Mercy Project, a three-month public programming initiative focusing on the themes of the play: forgiveness, compassion, the death penalty, and social justice. A stipulation of securing the rights to the play, which Robbins makes available to institutions for didactic pur-
poses, is that it not be critically reviewed; that condition is not violated by asserting here that Piven’s committed cast delivers absorbing theatre that addresses a profound and controversial issue worthy of our attention. “Dead Man Walking” runs through May 15, with performances Thursday through Sunday (matinees on Sunday) at Piven Theatre Workshop, Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes Street, Evanston.

Lucky Fish Deli Coming to Northbrook “We hear that all the time,” Gerry Geffen said. Another key element of Lucky Fish is the freshness of the fish. Steve Geffen said the restaurant can place an order for same-day delivery and receive a delivery of fish that were swimming that morning. “We get boxes of crawfish and they’re still crawling around,” Steve Geffen said. “Everything is fresh. We don’t use frozen or farm raised. Our fish is caught wild.” The pursuit of continual fresh fish is a challenge which can create seasonal limitations, according to Sandoval. He said when Northbrook opens customers can whet their appetite for Copper River Salmon and soft shell crab from Maryland which will be in season then.

Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI
NOw, where DID I Put that PaPer? the ImPO rtaNC e Of DOCumeNtatION A common obstacle buyers and Realtors® face at the closing table is that of improperly filled out or lost documents. Many lenders, through changing mortgage documentation, last-minute denials, contract cancellations, lost or misfiled paperwork and rating requirements have caused both buyers and Realtors® alike to lose faith in the organization of these institutions. Smart Realtors® and savvy buyers will take this into account and have a “Plan B” at the ready, in order to ensure expediency in closings. Keep copies of all pertinent paperwork collected in one safe place where you can access it easily. If possible, make duplicates of each document and give them to your Realtor® for safekeeping. Know your credit rating and if possible, obtain pre-approval to keep your closing running as smooth as possible. With a little extra effort, someone else’s lost papers don’t have to be your problem!
For professional advice from an experienced Realtor, call Jean Wright at (847) 217-1906 or email at jwright@jeanwright.com

RHYTHM ... WITHOUT THE BLUES Loyola’s resilient Lombardi finding his groove after getting off to a tough start BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
I
n between innings, and standing only a couple of steps in front of the Loyola Academy dugout on the first-base side of the Evanston High School baseball field the other day, Jack Lombardi was spotted bopping to a hip hop song. A tune by Fetty Wap was filling the airwaves, and Lombardi was fully into the beat as he waited to lead off the top of the fifth inning. It’s a song, he said, “that you can really hop to.” And, as the starting second baseman for the Ramblers, Lombardi is all about the hops — especially the groundball kind. And, right now, the Ramblers are all about rhythm. They have found theirs. They have opened the 2016 campaign by winning 11 of their first 14 games. “We’re playing it one pitch at a time,” says Lombardi, ready with the quick answer. The LA senior also was ready for this: answering the same question that he’s been asked 150,001 times. See last name. Ask obvious question. Are you … Lombardi laughs, pauses — and then offers: “Yes, my grandfather’s name is Vince Lombardi … just not The Vince Lombardi [former legendary football coach for the Green Bay Packers].” He doesn’t deny that “Lombardi” is the perfect name to apply to the back of a jersey. “I love being a Lombardi,” the Chicago Bears fan says. He also loves baseball. The exuberant Lombardi plays the game with a deep fervor. As a team captain, along with fellow senior Liam McKeough, he’s out to win. Having fun is the by-product. Having tough, trying times is baseball’s other by-product. And Lombardi just went through a doozy of a slump. He started the season 0-for-7. Even worse than it sounds: 0 hits in his team’s first 7 games. “That,” Lombardi says, “takes a toll on you mentally.
pastime. Lombardi, who played three seasons of club baseball with the Homestead Ranchers, also was a member of the Loyola ping pong team for two years. “I played in a few tournaments,” says Lombardi, noting that Loyola won the state championships — Golden Paddles — in 2015 and 2016. “I found out that there’s a lot of good ping pong players out there.” He’s careful whom he goes up against. “[That game] can turn a lot of friends into enemies,” he warns. Better to turn double plays. Notable: The Ramblers notched win No. 11 on April 18, when they downed host DePaul College Prep 6-1. Jack Lombardi went 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Thomas Smart had three hits, while Kyle Mulcrone had two hits and drove in a run. David Blankenship continues to be impressive on the mound. The right-hander went the distance on a three-hitter. He had six strikeouts. … Liam McKeough was the winning hurler (5 IP, 4 hits, 4 Ks, 1 ER, 0 BB) in the team’s 8-1 win over Evanston on April 15.

GRITTY MIDDIE Tough-minded Tingue not afraid to mix things up — on field, on dance floor BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
S
crums happen in lacrosse, not just in rugby. Darby Tingue was in the middle of one in a game earlier this month, battling and poking and jostling for a loose ball. Tingue, a 5-foot-6 senior middie, and several of her New Trier lacrosse teammates, along with just as many Glenbrook South Titans, had formed a mass of humanity vying for a little ball. Host NT was up 15-14 at the time of the scrum on April 6, time winding down in the second half. “There had to be eight girls, maybe 10, going for the 50/50 ball,” Trevians assistant coach Kristen Murray recalls. “Then, after a while, out comes Darby with the ball. She races down the field. We hold the ball, stall. The game ends. It was a pivotal moment in the game.” It is Game Day for New Trier’s girls lacrosse team. Trevians prepare for a home game in Northfield. The players gather in the Wellness Room in a building on the campus. They form a circle, a looser version of a scrum. A friendlier version. Tingue, a third-year varsity member, is in the middle of it. Again. Tingue dances. Tingue entertains her teammates, all of them. “I like to mix it up,” Tingue, smiling as hard as she plays lacrosse, says of her dance style. All you need to know about Darby Tingue, the competitive athlete, occurred on the day she learned how to ride a bike, minus training wheels. Her future New Trier classmate and lacrosse teammate, Audrey Kingdom, lived nearby. Tingue looked out her window one day and saw Kingdom attempting to control a bike, minus training wheels, for the first time. “I remember screaming, ‘No way!’”Tingue, a 2015 Illinois High School Women’s Lacrosse Association all-stater (honorable mention), says. “That needs to be me, too. I went outside and taught myself how to ride a bike. I fell a few times, sure. But I learned to ride a bike that day.” Tingue and New Trier (6-0), for the most part, have coasted in games this spring. There was that taut game with Glenbrook South. They topped perennial power Hinsdale Central 11-8 on April 12, Tingue striking for a pair of goals. DANDY DARBY: New Trier’s Darby Tingue makes a pass during recent action this spring.

ponents by a combined 66-22. NT, third at the IHSWLA state tournament last spring, is ranked second in Illinois by laxpower.com, reigning state runner-up HC (5-6) fourth. The same source rates NT sixth in its Midwest rankings. If it seems Tingue is savoring every tick of every minute on a lacrosse field this spring, there’s a reason. She might not play competitive lacrosse at Miami (Ohio) University, where she intends to major in education, a steppingstone to her dream job of elementary school teacher. Kingdom plans to play lax at the University Colorado. They mapped out the distance between the schools. The schools were farther apart (1,189 miles) than either had thought. Tingue and Kingdom became friends when both were about four months old. Was “hi” in either of the tots’ vocabulary then? “Darby,” Kingdom says, “was the giggliest girl around, with the curliest blonde hair. She laughed at everything.” She turns serious in lacrosse games. Tingue is fast and quick and versatile, capable of impacting a game at both ends of the field. Her field vision is covetous, her communication skills vital. Tingue’s shot is “wicked,” Kingdom says. Tingue’s grit is dogged. No surprise there. A fan of the outdoors, one of the highlights of her young life was inserting herself into a sleeping bag in Sun Valley, Idaho, rocks serving as the bag’s mattress pad, and admiring a colony of bats flapping above her. “Tough … she’s tough,” NT head coach Pete Collins says. “Darby also plays with good composure. She is steady, smart, the kind of player who says to me, on the sideline, ‘Here’s what I see out there.’ ” Tingue saw her mother, Robin, for the last time nearly 10 years ago. Illness took her. Darby’s father David, in 2006, established the Robin Sundy Tingue Memorial Dance Scholarship at Bucknell University to honor and preserve the memory of the Class of 1987 graduate, a dancer in her days at BU. “If I’m having a rough day, I think of my mom and I smile right away,” Darby says. “My day gets better. She made everybody
around her smile. She was positive, caring. She had an impact on everybody she knew.” More than a few of Robin’s qualities are still present today. All you have to do to enjoy one of them is watch what Darby does after she scores a goal in a lacrosse game. “She jumps straight up, with pointed toes,” Kingdom says. “Darby is always positive on the field, so smiley. Her attitude, on and off the field, is contagious. She gives off such great energy. People want to be around her.” Darby has an older brother, John, 20, and a little sister, Hayden, 5. Darby’s stepmom is Andrea. Scoring a goal in a big lacrosse game probably ranks right behind spending time, any kind of time, with Hayden in Darby Tingue’s sunny world. “I love children,” Tingue says. Tingue is asked to imagine her first day as an elementary teacher. She is game. “I’d make it a fun day,” she says. “I’d ask them to introduce themselves to everybody in the classroom, with a little twist. I’d make them say their favorite ice cream flavor after saying their name. “Second day,” she adds, “maybe give them all some ice cream in the classroom or take them all to Dairy Queen.” Now there’s a visual, a superexcited Ms. Tingue entering a DQ with at least a dozen super-excited children. In the middle of it all … once again. Notable: New Trier sophomore attack Sophia King scored three goals and delivered a pair of assists in a 15-3 defeat of visiting Deerfield High School on April 14. Junior middie Katherine Gjertsen beat the Warriors’ goalkeeper three times in Northfield, and freshman attack Lucy Murray finished with two goals and two assists. The victors’ other scorers: Isabelle Sennett (two goals, assist); Trace Sutherland (two goals); Darby Tingue (goal, two assists); Mary Kate Maloney (goal, assist); and Bridget McConnell (goal). Trevians senior middie Audrey Kingdom provided two assists, and classmate Clare Rooney had one. The winning keeper was junior China Trerotola.

3, 2, 1 … CAST OFF! Talented junior launches another home run in LF’s win over Glenbrook North BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
K
nowing he was going to face a tough sun in right field, Jason Cast ditched the shades and went heavy on the eye black. It was a noticeable departure for the intriguing Lake Forest High School junior. “Usually, I wear the [sun] glasses,” Cast says. It was a good look. Right fielder Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals is known for his eye black, no doubt, and would have been impressed. But the greasy stuff couldn’t hide Cast’s caked-on smile. Or his indisputable talent. You watch the Scouts long enough — say seven innings — and it becomes apparent that No. 6 has a pretty high upside. “ Your future is so bright you gotta wear shades …” Could apply here. There’s no miss-Cast-ing this kid. He certainly is off to a fine start. The well-put-together 5-foot-11, 180-pound Cast went to the plate at Glenbrook North on April 16 and treated pitched baseballs with utter disdain. He turned in an eye-catching performance. In the fourth inning, Cast ripped a double into left center and later raced around to score on a couple of throwing errors. Then, in the sixth inning, he treated a hanging curve from GBN reliever Jordan Kaplan like it was an enemy of the state. He walloped it over the left-center field fence. Long gone. “I pretty much knew it was gone, when I hit it,” says Cast. “A hanging curve. A terrible pitch by me,” says Kaplan. “He [Cast] did what great hitters do with a hanging curve. He hit it out of the park.” That two-run shot wound up being the difference as Lake Forest held on to beat the Spartans 5-3. North fell to 12-3. To LF head coach Ray Del Fava, Cast’s home run had the sound of … silence. “You didn’t hear a ping,” says the Scouts coach. “When he squares up on a pitch, you don’t hear much. He’s got quiet power.” So far, Cast has gone yard twice this spring. In a 5-0 win
“he’s not.” You know he’s around. Cast can be the life of the party. “Yeah, I’m a little crazy,” he says. “This game is all about having fun. And I love having fun with my teammates.” Notable: The Scouts have yet to hit their stride. With the win over host Glenbrook North, they snapped a three-game losing streak and improved their overall mark to 4-6. Sophomore lefthander Drew Golde was — sorry about this — golden against the Spartans. He started and picked up the win, allowing no earned runs over 6-plus innings. At one point in the game, he retired 10 straight hitters. “Sometimes, he struggles to throw strikes. Even today, we had someone warming in the bullpen in the first inning because you don’t want to fall too far behind a team as good as Glenbrook North,” said LF head coach Ray Del Fava. “To his credit, he figured it out.” In addition to Jason Cast (double, 2-run home run), Cal Coughlin was LF’s other big hitter. He drove in teammate Caleb Durbin (single, stolen base) in the third inning, when he smashed a double to left field. He missed a home run by less than a foot. … The Scouts had a golden opportunity to beat Stevenson on April 12. But the Patriots rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to win the game 2-1. Coughlin pitched six shutout innings before running into trouble in the seventh. The senior GAME FACE: Jason Cast of the Scouts (No. 6) wore plenty of eye black during his team’s win over Glenbrook North. The junior had a right-hander finished with 12 Ks. double and home run.

Bennett Preskill was a freshman. A math teacher at the school had asked Preskill to ease the math concerns of peers at TLC. Enter TLC, exit feeling better. That’s the idea behind the foundation of the center, right? His first case was an Algebra 2 student, confused and lost and determined to find a solution or two. Preskill introduced himself to the teen. Preskill asked a few simple questions, hoping to figure out what his tutee knew. The tutor listened. The tutor helped. “I got comfortable as soon as I realized I knew the material,” Preskill, now a senior and the HPHS math team captain, recalls. “Plus I had helped students in my math classes. It’s rewarding, completely, to work with a student and see that student understand a math concept, experience that ‘aha moment.’ When I tutor, my mind is going, really going. I’ll sometimes say, ‘Now that you know that, here’s something else you’re going to want to know.’ “I can’t stop once I get going.” Preskill exhibits a similar bent on volleyball courts. The 5-foot-8, 135-pound libero throws himself at shots all over the surface, digging one kill attempt after another. A boy named Preskill blunts kill shots. Fun. One of his eyes absorbed a spiked fastball on the first day of the Lake County Tournament last weekend, blinding him in that eye for three seconds. Not so fun. He played with bumps and bruises and a sore wrist, all taped up, in a trio of three-set matches on the second day of the Lake County Tournament at Grant High School. None of the injuries prevented him from chest surfing at the end of his reaches for digs. Have body, will sacrifice. For the good of the team. “I’ve asked him, ‘Are you OK?’ Giants volleyball coach Kyle Muldoon says, “He always says, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m fine.’ He’s tough, a leader. He’s taken on that role [of libero] and accepted it. He’s got the mentality for it. Consistent, consistent … Bennett is more con-
played sports, all kinds, as a youth. An impressionable Bennett watched Jake play and contracted the competitive bug. They would play basketball and Wiffle ball and football. Going up against somebody bigger and older did not daunt Bennett. “Jake got me into sports, motivated me,” says Bennett, also the younger brother of Guy, 20, and Isabel, 23. “I tried to be better than Jake when we competed. Tried to keep up with him. I’m not the tallest kid in my family, but I found my sports niche playing volleyball.” The subjects of math and science have thrilled Bennett Preskill for years. What thrills his parents, David and Nadine? Bennett’s passion for math and science. Bennett likes to point out where his father grew up. He especially likes to do so when he is at home. “My dad,” he says, “lived in the house next door to our house.” Real estate is not in Bennett’s future. Math is. Or science. Or industrial engineering. He bumps volleyballs. He aces classes. He tutors peers. He volunteers for service projects. There might not be a more balanced student at HPHS than the bright one who extracts “I see” from his tutees. “My mom likes to say, ‘Life is balance,’ ” Preskill says.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST
‘Max and Benny’s’ Still On A Roll
BY BILL MCLEAN
L
ester Schlan sits in a booth in his second home. Or is it his first? The man owns Max and Benny’s Restaurant-DeliBakery in Northbrook. There was a time when he spent 16 hours a day there, seven days a week. Utensils clank plates at tables, at other booths. Breakfast patrons’ intermittent laughter drowns out steady conversations in the spacious dining area. You can’t always hear the stream of coffee entering an empty cup, but when you do, it is the best part of the restaurant’s soundtrack. Max and Benny’s turned 30 in late December. Schlan is 67. Lester and his wife, Rhea, named the place after their two boys, all grown up now. Max is 35, living in New York and working as an attorney. Benny (he answers to Ben these days) is 32 and essentially runs the show at the restaurant as his father segues into a life with saner work hours. Lester Schlan, a University of Illinois graduate, was a grill cook and a baker and a coffee shop manager in Champaign-Urbana before he opened Max and Benny’s at its first location (Plaza Del Prado, in Glenview) on Dec. 30, 1985. “I got back from a trip to Arizona not too long ago,” Lester, after ordering an egg white veggie wrap and mixed fruit, says. “I was there for three weeks. Three weeks. I had never been away from the restaurant for that long. I don’t think I’d ever been away for more
than a week.” Family recipes turn first-time Max and Benny’s customers into repeat Max and Benny’s customers. Schlan’s grandmother, Bubbie Gussie, made kugel and matzo ball soup and other Jewish delicacies in her kitchen. Schlan saw to it that countless others would get to enjoy the same tasty fare in a public setting. Word of (sated) mouth spread steadily, forcing Schlan to find a bigger home for his restaurant. Max and Benny’s moved to Brookside Plaza (461 Waukegan Road) in Northbrook 22 years ago. The sons grew. The eatery grew, to 8,000 square feet — double the size of its digs in Glenview. It expanded again four years later to accommodate its full bakery and carry-out deli. It employs 90. “Fresh food, good food,” Schlan, a Northbrook resident, says of the ingredients to his restaurant’s sustained success. “I’m taking care of the Jewish community. You have to care. It’s all about caring about your customers. I drove past this location [Brookside Plaza] a lot when it was empty. It’s a good location because I consider it to be in the middle of the North Shore.” Schlan takes a sip of coffee, puts his cup down. He then insists I join him for a walk around Max and Benny’s. He shows the Event Room used for large business meetings and gatherings and where North Shore authors discuss their works and conduct
question-and-answer sessions. Scott Turow addressed patrons two years ago. A framed black-and-white photograph of Schlan’s father, Julius, adorns an Event Room wall with all kinds of framed family images. Julius died at the age of 93 six years ago. “My father was a smart businessman, very smart,” says Schlan, who grew up on the

South Side of Chicago and attended South Shore High School. “He sold restaurant supplies before World War II, lived on the
West Side. He taught me a lot about the retail business. He also thought I was stupid for going into the restaurant business.”
Schlan takes me back to the kitchen area. Busy cooks and other employees are focused and serious, working efficiently. Schlan, affable sitting and affable walking, says something that makes a cook laugh. Cookies are next. Schlan and I near a batch of yellow smiley-face cookies. “Still our most popular cookie,” he says in midstride. I later eye homemade cookies that look exactly like the Indian head on a Chicago Blackhawks sweater. Each is decorated with at least six colorful icings, four for the headdress feathers. It is a piece of artwork, too stunning to eat. Schlan hands one to me. A gift. Three weeks later it remains uneaten, tucked inside a cellophane bag. We return to our booth. Time for more stories from a master storyteller. Max and Benny’s used to sponsor a softball team for men 50 and older. “We no longer do that,” Schlan says. “They got too old.” He filled in once for the team, as a catcher. Went 3-for-3 at the plate. Called it a career. Many decades ago, when Champaign-Urbana, pre-Starbucks era, did not have a 24-hour coffee shop for University of Illinois students, an enterprising Schlan opened one

in available space in a deli, charging a quarter for a cup of coffee. He once fell asleep on the job — standing before sunrise, a mop resting in his hands. He and five or six other students ran a business in the basement of a YMCA near the campus. It was called The Record Service. Albums cost $3. “My colleagues and I paid ourselves $25 per week,” Schlan recalls. Customers pay Schlan and his Max and Benny’s employees compliments. Often. The restaurant’s crack catering department services parties, shivas, dedications and corporate events, among other occasions. Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz hosted a party in Winnetka last summer. The Stanley Cup showed up, RSVP unnecessary. The estimated head count at the bash, not counting the Indian head-shaped cookies provided by Max and Benny’s: 2,500. “We do appreciate the positive feedback we get,” Schlan says. “We receive a lot of it. It’s good to hear. We sometimes get last-minute orders for catered events. We take care of them. People tell us, ‘You saved the day.’ ” Schlan is the picture of a successful businessman in his place of business, cheerful and engaging. It is a weekday, late in the morning. Customers, doubling as friends, talk with Schlan, laugh with Schlan. They are no longer hungry. Schlan is satisfied, too. “I’ve had an American Dream life,” he says.
