come sail away Yacht clubs on North Shore have winds at their back

■ by abby wickman It does not take long for Neesa Sweet to navigate her way to the North Shore Yacht Club. The Highland Park resident lives only a hop, skipping stone and jump away (two blocks) from the club. “I always feel like I’m at summer camp,” said Sweet, a kayaker and member of the North Shore Yacht Club. “I can go down to the water front, and I always find people there.” In addition to providing

its members with sailing equipment, the North Shore Yacht Club allows them to take part in everything from regattas to cardboard boat races. “People literally make boats out of cardboard,” Sweet said. “People build everything from a Viking ship to an alligator, and then there’s a race to get from here to there before your boat sinks — that’s really, really fun.” Though currently closed off because of construction on the Highland Park Water Plant, the North Shore Yacht Club’s clubhouse is a common gathering place for sailors and non-sailors alike. “There’s definitely a social aspect, and there’s definitely the opportunity to be out on the water in a safe environment,” Sweet said. “So, it’s a way to experience something that might be harder to experience on your own.”

Yacht clubs on the North Shore remain popular spots, especially in the summer. Though the image of yachting may bring to mind 150-foot enginepowered vessels cutting through Lake Michigan, the yacht clubs focus on low-key sailboats that are funs for adults and children both. For the Lake Bluff Yacht Club, which has been in existence for 51 years, family orientation has always been central to the club’s operation. “It was founded by a number of families in Lake Bluff that liked to sail, and there was a relatively new boat that was being sold called the Sunfish,” said Doug Warren, co-chairman of the club’s Racing Program and a long-time club member. When the families of Lake Bluff started sailing Sunfish in the early 1960s, there was no place to yachting >> page 8

first word

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Are yacht clubs, Judge Smails in the same boat?

hen thinking of the luxurious perception of yachts, one must refer to the movie “Caddyshack.” I know. That was a film primarily about golf. But one water scene (not involving a Baby Ruth or Judge Elihu Smails’ shower) still resonates. A proud Judge Smails reads a dedicatory poem before his wife christens The Flying WASP. Though the sailboat is of average stature, the judge and the scholarship-seeking caddy, Danny, are dressed like classic yachtsmen — blazers, white pants, ascots and yachting caps. On the horizon is Al Czervik, steering a massive engine-powered yacht. Yet Al’s craft is named Sea Food, and his attire is more appropriate for a Hawaiian luau than an expensive vessel. Which brings me back to the North Shore. A number of yacht clubs adorn our towns, but the boats look nothing like Czervik’s pride and joy. Nor are the boaters dressed anything like Judge Smails. The yachts adhere to the original definition of the term — small vessels sailed for pleasure or racing — rather than the popular perception, which includes stewards and deckhands. The clubs themselves are thriving, and Abby Wickman offers the full story on our cover.

John Conatser, Founder & Publisher

Back on land, Jerome Caruso is a captain of design. Though he may not be a household name, there’s a good chance one of his creations is in your household. In the kitchen, his new look for the refrigerator — featuring a well-lit and white interior —in the 1980s changed the look of the appliance. The following decade, his invention of integrated drawers and cabinets helped hide the often-bulky refrigerator. The man who once worked for a Swedish prince hasn’t stopped there — he boasts more than 100 patents for his designs, from ovens to chairs. Read Sunday Breakfast in these pages about his scintillating career. Honor Flight Chicago is designed to give veterans a lasting memory of the National World War II Memorial in Washington. D.C. After the visit to the nation’s capital, the group of veterans flies back and lands to bands playing and flags waving. Says Honor Flight Chicago vice president and Glencoe resident Doug Roth, “I’ll hear the veterans say that this is the second greatest day of their life; the first is marrying their wife.” Find out more in our Veteran Spotlight feature.

store their boats at the beach, so the newly formed group worked out an agreement with Lake Bluff’s park district and sanitary district to build storage facilities. “Those storage facilities are still in existence — we’ve expanded them, and the club has grown and prospered,” Warren said. “We now are up to about 120 families in the area.” An increased interest in sailing has allowed the Kenilworth Sailing Club to expand its sailing lessons and summer camps. “I think that the timing’s just right, and people are enjoying all that the lake has to offer.” Kenilworth Sailing Club Commodore Susan Tempest said. “It’s

not just people with certain aged kids; you also have the dads and mothers taking their 2-year-old out for some kayaking, and then you have the teenagers going out, and you’ve got the kids that are back home from college. “We have a lot of families that are just getting very active, but it’s all ages, which is wonderful.” Some of the original members of the Lake Bluff Yacht club still go sailing every now and then. “I know that there’s one couple — I think they’re in their late 80s now — and they still come down and are active in the club,” Warren said. “In fact, one woman still goes sailing from time to time on her own. She goes out on a warm, sunny day, and she’ll go out for an hour or two just to have fun. “We get the full range of the population in Lake Bluff.” While members of the North Shore Yacht Club sail everything from paddleboats to Buccaneers (larger sailboats), an interest in kayaking has recently been sparked by members. Similarly, the Kenilworth Sailing Club and the Lake Bluff Yacht Club have seen an increased enthusiasm for kayaking. “We used to be a 100-percent sailing club, and now we have more and more people who are interested in kayaking and we’ve brought people onto the board who are kayakers, as opposed to sailors only,” Warren said. “That’s one of the things we’re trying to do — really reflect the way people want to use the lake.” Though Tempest is unsure as to the specific reasons for the increase in the sailing club’s membership and activity, she has some theories. “I think it’s having the ability to get out on Lake Michigan at any time. I grew up always on the lake — every summer of my life I was on the lake … that was how I knew summertime,” Tempest said. “I was so excited when we moved to Chicago, moved to Kenilworth, because my boys could have that same experience — they could grow up knowing what it’s like to be out on the water with friends, doing water sports and activities, and having that be part of their summertime memories." ■

Sailing for disabled program launches on North Shore ■ by abby wickman The Judd Goldman Adaptive Sailing Foundation (JGASF) — which provides sailing opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities — opened a sailing program in Lake Forest in June. JGASF was founded 24 years ago in memory of Justin “Judd” Goldman – a long-time sailor with a disabling bone disease – by his wife, daughter, and son and current president of JGASF, Peter Goldman. The organization has worked mainly in Chicago, but it recently launched the suburban program as a partnership with the City of Lake Forest’s Parks and Recreation Department “He and I had a discussion about starting a program with things for people with disabilities – a sailing program,” Peter Goldman recalled. “I was going to look into it when he left and went to Florida for the winter (in 1989) — and he passed away almost exactly a month later.” The new program will be headed up by Lake Forest Sailing Program Supervisor Hunter Ratliff – who became a volunteer for JGASF at the Chicago location when he was 13. The organization has 20 boats with three different classes, all designed for people with physical disabilities. The Lake Forest location will start out with one boat – the Freedom Independence Twenty, a 20-foot boat that includes specially designed chairs, allowing a person to move freely while remaining seated. “We’re creating a program that’s more inclusive. Many people are not able to sail without the special equipment we have,” Goldman said. “We’re allowing more people to partake in this sport.” Goldman hopes the new location in Lake Forest continues to communicate the foundation’s values. “Our whole premise of our foundation and our sailing program – the whole idea – is self-esteem and independence.” ■

Century-old event poised to captivate residents once again

Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI

The FIsCal FundamenTals OF InsurInG YOur hOme Financially speaking, there are a few steps that all prospective homeowners should take to ensure the smoothness of their path from home search to successful closing. For prospective home buyers, insuring your home is especially crucial to a stress-free transaction. With the help of a certified, skilled Realtor®, these steps will be easily undertaken and deliver the keys to your dream home! A sensible approach to buying a home will include investigating the home insurance trends of the desired area in order to understand any hidden costs associated with a property. For any purchase of real estate, it is absolutely vital for the prospective homeowner to have a firm, realistic understanding of what they’re getting themselves into. In many cases, homeowners in specific regions may be legally required to purchase additional insurance policies, such as general hazard policies, storm insurance, flood policies or wind policies. Additionally, homeowners of all property types may encounter the need for insurance coverage that protects against costly or complicated needs, which range from hazard liability to average home maintenance. Insuring your home is a necessary step to happy home ownership, protecting both the home owner and the lender as well. Before you close on any home, make sure that you and your Realtor® have taken the time to invest in an insurance policy that is tailor-made to fit the needs of your new home for years to come! For professional advice from an experienced Realtor, call Jean Wright at (847) 217-1906 or email at jwright@jeanwright.com

Graham and Katie Hutton enjoy a ride during last year’s Lake Forest Day at West Park.

photography by larry miller ■ by abby wickman Lake Forest Day Chairman Bill Malich became acquainted with the local American Legion in the 1990s, when he noticed a veteran who needed help pulling a flag from a trailer for the Fourth of July. “After we posted the flags, I asked him ‘Who’s going to do this when guys like you aren’t around?’” Malich recalled. “He pushed his toe around in the sand, looking down, and said ‘I expect no one.’ That was the day I decided to join the America Legion.” Planned by the Lake Forest American Legion McKinlock Post 264 since 1921, Lake Forest Day — which begins the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 6 at West Park with a carnival and continues with a parade and more on Wednesday, Aug. 7 — offers special significance for members such as Malich this year. The theme: “Lake Forest Salutes All Veterans.” Separate cars representing World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War — along with the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan wars — will carry veterans during the parade. Commander of the nearby Great Lakes Naval Training Base, U.S. Navy Captain William Bulis, will be the grand marshal. Legion members — who are primarily World War II and Korea veterans — hope younger ones will be persuaded to join the group and carry on the annual Lake Forest Day tradition. Said American Legion member Bud Turner, “We’re taking their membership, and we’d like to welcome them into our organization.” High school reunions and family vacations are often planned around the

two-day festival, which includes musical performances, raffle drawings, bingo, a beer garden and a roasted corn tent. Legion members and volunteers put in more than 12,000 hours preparing and operating the 105-year-old event, which was launched by the Lake Forest Woman’s Club in 1908.

“I think the easiest way to put it is we’re doing our duty. Some people don’t do their duty — we try.” | Bill Gretz The money raised from Lake Forest Day helps fund the Legion’s efforts to support the Veterans Administration Hospital of North Chicago, American Legion Baseball, Lake Forest Boys State and Girls State, and other organizations. “I didn’t know anything about [Legion baseball] till I got here from New York, and I have had grown men come to me and say that it was the making of them,” said Legion Senior Vice Commander and Public Relations Officer Bill Gretz. Aside from throwing the city’s biggest party, members of the Legion also post more than 550 American flags to celebrate Lake Forest Day. But it is all worth the effort. “Based upon the number of people I see sitting on the curbs watching the parade go by, I think virtually every child in Lake Forest is there,” Gretz said. “I think the easiest way to put it is we’re doing our duty. Some people don’t do their duty — we try.” ■

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

veteran spotlight

“I feel that I have made a day in the life of an individual more fulfilling,” says Honor Flight Chicago vice president and Glencoe resident Doug Roth.

‘It was the highlight of my life’

Honor Flight Chicago on verge of 50th trip to nation’s capital ■ by angelika labno Mary Pettinato asked her father, a World War II veteran, what his deathbed wish would be. More than anything, he said, he wanted to see the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Seeing how happy it made Gene Coschigano to have that wish granted inspired her to get together with three other Chicago women — Jeanmarie Kapp, Nancy Kapp, and Suzanne Stanits — and establish Honor Flight Chicago (HFC) in 2008. On Aug. 7, the organization will be celebrating its 50th flight to the nation’s capital. “I’ll hear the veterans say that this is the second greatest day of their life; the first is marrying their wife,” said Honor Flight Chicago vice president and Glencoe resident Doug Roth. There are honor flights all over the country, but Chicago offers more than any other hub. Since 2008, HFC has taken more than 4,000 veterans from Midway Airport for an all-expenses-paid day trip around the memorials in Washington. To ensure the safety of the veterans, who range in age from 85 to 102, HFC brings along two doctors, eight nurses, personal guardians and wheelchairs for all 90-plus vets per flight. Additional perks include professional photographers, a videographer, all meals, snacks and beverages, and takehome goodies. After a day of special tours, the veterans arrive back in Chicago around 9 p.m. and are greeted with a welcome home unlike any other. Active duty service members, motorcyclists, a 50-piece brass band, dozens of bagpipers, thousands of volunteer patriots and family members are among those waving flags and singing songs. “The crowd just cheers, cheers, cheers,” said Pettinato. “[The veterans] are so thankful and so appreciative, and it’s just great fun.” The sunset organization has a limited window to reach as many veterans as it can in the next few years. There are an estimated 21,000 veterans living in the

Chicago area, and the average age of a veteran on the waiting list is 89. HFC schedules up to 10 flights a year, one every four weeks between April and November, and each flight transports 90 to 95 veterans. The estimated cost per flight is $60,000, which is raised through fundraising efforts and generous private donations. On July 4 this year, Culver’s presented HFC with a check for $33,000 after a year of fundraising across 64 stores.    Part of HFC’s new strategy is Operation Locate a WWII Hero. Volunteers visit Veterans Administration hospitals and various clubs around Chicago to distribute posters, flyers and applications in hopes of recruiting veterans to fly. “There’s no greater way to say thanks than to help us find and recruit our WWII heroes for their honor,” said Pettinato. “The challenges are greater with each year that goes by, but it’s all minor compared to what they did. My dad was in a foxhole for 37 days, so complaining about anything seems kind of silly.” Veterans can call the office at (773)-2278387 and a representative will mail out an application. It can also be printed from www.honorflightchicago.org, which includes information on upcoming flights, volunteering, and more. “It was tremendous — the whole thing, from beginning to end,” said veteran Ted Krengel in a comment from the July 10 flight. “It was so warm and thrilling beyond my wildest expectation.” “It was the highlight of my life,” said Bill Kostecki about the June 12 flight. “The Fire Department and the water cannon salute in Washington — I can’t even begin to describe it. I had no idea that the people in this country felt this way about veterans.” For Roth, a restaurateur, HFC is a way of staying connected to his father and World War II Marine, Don. He has taken the trip several times as a guardian and bus captain, as have his identical twin sons. Says Roth, “I feel that I have made a day in the life of an individual more fulfilling.” ■

business | 19 Lake City stays focused on high-end cleaning

Victor Seyedin

Dr. Bob Buchanan

photography by joel lerner

■ by abby wickman When Victor Seyedin decided to open a dry-cleaning business in Highland Park, he was faced with a decision: what kind of a dry cleaner did he want to be? “Do I want to be one that presses quickly and looks at the volume and not the quality? Or one that looks at quality and focuses on high-end garments?” Seyedin asked. He chose the latter. Fourteen years later, Lake City Cleaners has four locations in the greater Chicago area and draws customers from Lake Bluff to downtown. Under Seyedin’s leadership, Lake City Cleaners was the first dry-cleaning company to use Solvair — an environment-friendly cleaning system that uses biodegradable cleaning liquid and recycled carbon dioxide. While some dry cleaners may offer a lower price than Lake City Cleaners, Seyedin says this often comes at the expense of quality. “I make sure that when I press the pants, there’s no impression on the side, make sure there’s no double-crease, make sure the creases are at the same level,” he said. “Business is common sense, and the problem is that common sense is quite uncommon,” Seyedin added. “It all goes back to the quality and the service – if you have that, and a good value for customers, you’ve built a relationship with the customer.”

Smart Decision

Because of the company’s pick-up and delivery, as well as a drive-through pickup window at its Highland Park location, Lake City Cleaners is a convenient choice, employee Naomi Castro said. “We have a lot of regulars – some come almost every week,” Castro said. She has

“We have a lot of regulars – some come almost every week.” | Naomi Castro been with the company for five years and has seen clothing come in everywhere from ballet companies to the police department. With delicate clothing, Lake City Cleaners boasts an expertise in hand-finishing. “I always say, [if] people have very expensive china, when the dinner is done, they don’t put those dishes in the dishwasher, because they’re so fragile. The same thing applies here,” Seyedin said. Though customers have the option to choose the Solvair system or hand-finishing for their clothing, Lake City Cleaners also offers a Classic Care basic cleaning option. “We’re offering this to people because if they have regular pants or a regular shirt or a regular anything that needs to be cleaned day to day, they don’t need to be going through a couture department,” Seyedin said. “You want to make sure you’re being fair to the customer and you don’t overcharge them.” ■

20 | lifestyle & arts sunday breakfast ■ by david sweet As one wanders about Jerome Caruso’s kitchen, it is hard to say where, exactly, is the refrigerator. Amazingly enough, there isn’t one — in fact, there are three. And they are all hidden, integrated among the cabinetwork. “Some said it was impossible to design a kitchen with a refrigerator — it’s like the elephant in the room,” says Caruso, an industrial designer. “I thought, ‘Why not have a system that’s much more practical in terms of storage?’ “Everything below the waist would be accessible, so I created drawers. You can even put a refrigerator into an armoire, and it would disappear.”

“I’m more excited about my career than I’ve ever been, which is very fortunate.” | Jerome Caruso Caruso designed an integrated refrigerator series for Sub-Zero nearly 20 years ago — today, a slew of those refrigerators and freezers still adorn North Shore kitchens. The Lake Forest resident, in fact, has designed just about everything but the kitchen sink in a career spanning more than half a century. Aside from refrigerators, he has created ovens, warming drawers, wine storage and more for Sub-Zero and its sister company Wolf, along with chairs for Herman Miller. His career has been filled with industry honors (the machine-produced bi-cast stacking chair he created sat in the American Arts collection of The Art Institute). And in June, the University of Illinois graduate received the 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Art & Design. “I was honored and gratified to make that connection after all those years,” Caruso says. “And believe it or not, my college design professor was there — he is in his 90s!” Caruso grew up in Oak Park, and he can point to the moment when he became entranced by design. At 12, he signed up for a contest through a magazine where Fisher Body — owned by General Motors — would send him specifications and wheels for a car about 18 inches long. He built a model out of clay and then continuously remodeled it for months in his basement. “It taught me a great deal about design and development,” says Caruso, who captured the best-design award

Bob Whelan is the new head of school at Lake Forest Country Day School. He and his family moved to Lake Forest from Bedford, N.Y. in July. Reading: Tony Wagner’s “Culture of Innovation.” I love it; the whole concept behind it is that the world we’re preparing our kids for will inevitably be different than the world those of us adults are inhabiting. It’s less about what you know and more about what you can do with what you know. That’s such an exciting way to approach what we can do with education. Listening: On my way out here I listened to “Joyland” by Stephen King. It was pretty good; it made the 14 hours pass pretty quickly. I love the TED [Technology, Entertainment and Design] education series, but I like TED across domains. I try to listen to at least two of those a week. Another podcast I listen to pretty regularly is “This American Life.” Watching: Sometimes I’m watching “Cake Boss” because my daughter is watching “Cake Boss.” But I’m personally watching “Game of Thrones,” “Downton Abbey” —loved that — and “House of Cards,” the Netflix series with Kevin Spacey. They’re all done (for now), which may be why I’m doing more reading. Following: I follow the Tour de France, and it’s something I’ve been following for the last 12 years. I’m really drawn to the teamwork aspect of it. It’s akin to watching a flock of geese, as members of each team take turns going to the front. And I love watching people push themselves to the limit. I’m following what’s going on with technology in schools. I’m every bit as interested in the failures that take place as I am in the successes. Something else I’m following, and I’m a year

late, but when Neil Armstrong died I was so floored by the idea, I loved reading more about what was involved to put a man on the moon. When I think of the difficulty I have getting my printer syncing with my laptop, and the difficulty of landing the lunar module — there are a lot of lessons I can take from that. I’m also following Lake Forest’s own Tommy Rees and what he’s doing at Notre Dame this year. And I’m looking forward to following the Chicago Bulls. Activity: A lot of it is what my kids are involved in — at this time in my life, so much involves me standing on the sidelines. Or in darkened theatres: our kids are into theatre and lacrosse. I like being around that energy, being at events and listening to other people coach and teach. That takes up the lion’s share of my free time when I’m not working. It’s no burden. Eating: I’ve been staying near a Chipotle, so four of my last six meals have been Mexican food, which I love. But I’m looking forward to broadening my palate. What is your favorite mistake? A detailed email I once sent to the wrong person. The relief was that I had adhered to the rule of “anything you put in print, be prepared for someone you didn’t intend to read it.” I was quietly relieved that there wasn’t anything all that incriminating in it. This happened 10 years ago, and I’ve been five times more sensitive about clicking the send button ever since. We talk a lot in school about mistakes being important — it’s no joke we learn so much from mistakes — I often feel I learn more from my mistakes that I do from my successes. Want to know more?

A matter of taste

Pederson has Found her calling ■ by katie rose mceneely

Nicole Pederson

Recipe: Heirloom Bean Salad with Harissa Vinaigrette Soak and cook 1 ½ cups of dried beans (a combination of varieties is best) in fresh water with 1 clove of garlic, a bay leaf, salt, and a sprig of thyme. Once tender remove from heat, strain the cool on a sheet tray. Once cool, combine. For Harissa vinaigrette: Roast 4 red Fresno peppers, 2 hot banana peppers, and 2 Anaheim peppers over an open flame until skin is black and blistered. Rehydrate 2 dried guajillo peppers in hot

water and toast 4 cloves garlic in a dry pan until soft and brown. Combine peppers and garlic in a blender with ½ teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground caraway, ¼ cup red wine vinegar and 1 cup olive oil. Blend until smooth. Toss cooked beans with 3-4 cups fresh arugula and ¼-1/2 cup of the Harissa vinaigrette. Top with fresh quark cheese and serve with naan or flatbread.

Nicole Pederson is the chef at Found Kitchen and Social House in Evanston. How did you start cooking? I was waiting tables at a small French restaurant in St. Paul. One day the chef looked at me — we were talking about a new dish for the menu — and he said, “I don’t know why you don’t cook. You’re more interested in the food than most people here. You should go to culinary school.” Years cooking? Fourteen. Best recipe tweak? I’m obsessed with chickpea fritters. I put onion pekora and garlic dill pickles and chopped pickled vegetable inside it. We use rice flour and chickpea flour so they get really crispy. Favorite cuisine to make? I was a Francophile when I started cooking. When I went out to New York, I got turned on to American style, and when I came back to the Midwest, I got focused on farm-to-table. I didn’t think I could start working outside of my comfort zone until I met Marcus Samuelsson [the Ethiopian-Swedish chef-owner of Red Rooster in New York City]. What do you like to eat at home? I think I could eat Mexican food just about every day of the week. I love doing takes on squash blossom quesadillas and using lots of chilies, really borrowing from cultures all over the place. I like a lot of salads — I cook up a big batch of farro and keep it in the fridge. I also like to have potatoes, beets and eggs in the fridge. Worthwhile gadget? The microplane is the best invention of all time. The one thing I love to do with it is the garlic trick

— zest it on a microplane and toss it with a little oil into a salad. If you like garlic, man, that is the way to eat it. Favorite cookbook? I think that “Cook’s Illustrated: Best Recipes” is a great reference book for baking. My mom just gave me “Artisan Cheese Making at Home” by Mary Karlin, and I’m completely fascinated by it. Favorite vegetable? Yellow wax beans, purple beans, green beans. In two weeks I’ll be obsessed with eggplant. Or cauliflower.

“I was a Francophile when I started cooking. When I went out to New York, I got turned on to American style.” | Nicole Pederson Most memorable kitchen incident? When I was working at Lula, we did a lot of canning. We had lot of tomatoes and pickles, and we were doing it under the radar. I was with the health inspector, and we walked past the wall of jars and he was like, “So, do you make those here? Do you use them?” I was like, “Um. Sometimes. For decoration.” He didn’t believe me. He made me pour everything out and dispose of it. It was awful. I cried. Found Kitchen and Social House is located at 1631 Chicago Ave. in Evanston.

Rockin’ & rollin’ Winnetka’s Fawcett — ranked No. 9 in the nation — will play his college tennis at Stanford ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Rising New Trier High School senior Tom Fawcett has been a fan of Bruce Springsteen’s music for most of his life. Born in the U.S.A., Fawcett attended a Springsteen concert with his family at Wrigley Field last summer. “My dad [Pete] listens to his music a ton,” Fawcett said. “I’ve liked Springsteen ever since I was 5 or 6.” He has liked pummeling tennis balls for about the same number of years. Ranked ninth in the USTA Boys 18-andunder singles division and the reigning Midwest Closed 18 singles champion, the 6-foot-6, 205-pound Fawcett verbally committed to Stanford University last month. But an hour before doing so, he called former Trevians teammate and fellow Winnetkan Robert Stineman, a rising junior netter at Stanford. Stineman and Fawcett had helped New Trier capture the IHSA state team title in 2011, with Stineman (a senior then) topping the singles field and Fawcett (a freshman then) teaming with Drew Campbell to take runner-up honors in doubles. Stineman has won a combined 40 singles matches and 39 doubles matches in college. “I needed to ask Robert a few questions and talk things over with him,” said Fawcett. “I’m excited to go to school and play tennis there. It’ll be nice being on a team with Robert again.” Fawcett would like nothing more than to test his game against professional players after his college years. He has collected three USTA bronze balls for finishing third at three junior Grand Slam events, including one with Wilmette native and University of Illinois recruit Aron Hiltzik (NTHS, ’14) after the pair’s doubles performance at last summer’s 16-and-under National Clay Courts Championships. One of Fawcett’s coaches, Billy Heiser, is currently coaching ATP player and Milwaukee native Tim Smyczek, ranked 124th in the world in singles (as of July 25). “[Fawcett] is a highly competitive player who plays every point hard and every point with focus and concentration,” said Heiser, who trained Fawcett for several years at the Lincolnshire Tennis Academy. “He makes players feel uncomfortable on the court because he can either attack or sit back and grind. “Tom,” he added, “is a big kid with a big game, and he moves quite well for someone his size. He covers a lot of ground during points.” Seeded fourth at this summer’s USTA National Clay Court Championships in Delray Beach, Fla., Fawcett got upset by Terrance Whitehurst of Tallahassee, Fla., in the third round of the Boys 18s draw. But he and doubles partner Sameer Kumar of Carmel, Ind., surprised some tandems as an unseeded pair en route to the national quarterfinals. Fawcett played some of his best tennis earlier in the summer, downing reigning IHSA state champion Martin Joyce of Hinsdale Central 7-6 (5), 6-0 in the Midwest Closed championship final June 27 in Indianapolis. The victory earned Fawcett an automatic spot to represent the Midwest at last month’s USTA National Team Cup competition in Champaign. “Tom has a lot of tools, with his big serve being one of his best; he gets a lot of free points with that weapon,” said Wisconsin-bound and 2013 Lake Forest High School graduate John Zordani, who, like Fawcett, chose not to

photography by joel lerner play high school tennis his sophomore and junior years. “He has done a great job developing his forehand, as well as his versatility.” Fawcett and Zordani worked out together recently at the Nielsen Tennis Center in Winnetka, pounding the fuzz off most of the tennis balls they used. The incessant sweetspot music their rackets made with each exchange — PopPop! Pop-Pop! Pop-Pop! — was Fourth of July-esque. Both were aiming to stay sharp in advance of this month’s USTA National Hard Court Championships in Kalamazoo, Mich. “I like the mental part of [tennis],” said Fawcett, who won a USTA 18s national open tournament title in February and finished runner-up at another one in May. “I like the challenge of being out there all by yourself, trying to figure stuff out. I really like that. It’s also an extremely physical sport. Some three-set matches can be grueling.” He won a trio of three-setters before the title match at the Midwest Closed Championships in June. “I know I’m going to have to work incredibly hard on my game [at Stanford], in order to do well for the program and to give myself a chance to make it [on the professional tour],” he added. What Fawcett doesn’t know: Whether or not he’ll return

to high school tennis as a senior next spring. Zordani did at LFHS last spring, pairing up with Scott Christian to take fifth place at state in doubles. “I had so much fun playing for New Trier as a freshman,” Fawcett said. “It was a tough decision, not coming our for the sport my sophomore year. But I felt training [with Heiser] would be the most beneficial for my development as a tennis player. “Right now, I’m not sure what I’ll do in the spring.” In the meantime, with the summer nearing its “third set,” Fawcett plans to continue to hone his tennis game three or so hours per day and work on his fitness for an hour each day between tournaments. He’ll also listen to Springsteen whenever he can and occasionally navigate his paddle board atop Lake Michigan. “Tom is a really good kid and kind of quirky, with a great sense of humor,” said Heiser, who keeps in touch with Fawcett almost daily. “He’s always had an outstanding work ethic and the determination to get better as a tennis player. He’s open to buying into changes, knowing they’ll likely help him against certain opponents. “With his motivation and intensity,” he added, “Tom has a shot at playing professionally.” ■

Some serious fun

Lanigan, Wall battle it out at Age Group State Championships ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com At last weekend’s Speedo Long Course Age Group State Swimming Championships at Stevenson High School, the 50-meter freestyle in the girls 13-14 division was one of the marquee events at the three-day meet for a couple of reasons: It marked the third straight year in which standouts Reilly Lanigan of Scout Aquatics and Ingrid Wall of New Trier Swim Club would battle in the sprint race. And their coaches — NTSC’s Jeff Frydenlund and Scout Aquatics’ Carolyn Grevers — are husband and wife. “Those two were talking smack all weekend,” a smiling Lanigan said after the showdown in Lincolnshire. Lanigan, a rising sophomore at Lake Forest High School, beat Wall to the final wall on July 28, recording a personalbest 26.82 to avenge losses to her rival in 2011 and 2012. Runner-up Wall finished in a swift 26.97, matching the time she had clocked in the morning’s preliminary session. “We’ll see each other a lot at high school meets,” said Wall, who will be a freshman at New Trier High School. “It’s always good to go up against someone so competitive. Reilly makes me swim faster.” Lanigan had a sensational weekend in the water, zipping to six gold medals and a pair of top-five medals in relays. Her other first-place swims came in the 400 IM (5:00.97), 100 butterfly (1:03.88), 200 IM (2:22.08), 100 free (57.92) and 400 free (4:21.31). “I’m proud of her,” Grevers said after the 400 free, in which Lanigan lopped more than five seconds off her seed time of 4:26.86. “Sometimes she gets so serious before races — too serious. She was worried she wouldn’t be able to drop time [in the 400 free]; I wasn’t. I knew she would do well. “I was relieved to see her smile after the race.” Wall motored to an impressive 1:14.6 to top the field in the 100 breaststroke. Her other medal-worthy efforts last weekend included a runner-up 59.74 in the 100 free and fifth-place finishes in the 200 breast (2:46.12) and 200 IM (2:26.77). “Ingrid races really hard, goes hard all the time,” F r yden lund said. “It’s fun watching her race.” Two years ago at the same me et , Wa l l edged Lanigan by 3/10 0ths of a second to win the 50 free (11-12 age division) in a staterecord 27.45. Lanigan settled for second place again last summer and then starred for the Scouts’ varsity in the fall, taking fourth in the 100 butter- Scout Aquatics star Reilly Lanigan is all smiles fly (55.56) and after winning six gold medals at state. fifth in the 200 IM (2:04.99) photography by joel lerner at the IHSA state meet at Evanston. Lanigan, unlike Wall, won’t compete at this month’s U.S. Junior Nationals in Irvine, Calif., even though she made national cuts in four events last weekend. Instead, Lanigan will race at this weekend’s National Club Swimming Association Championships in Indianapolis. Lanigan teamed with Scout Aquatics mates Madeline Smith, Emma Kyle and Josephine Annin to finish fourth in the 400 free relay (4:06.73) and fifth in the 800 free relay (9:03.6) last weekend.

Joachim claims two titles Scout Aquatics member Kendra Joachim also climbed the awards podium often in Stevenson’s natatorium. Competing against 10-and-under qualifiers, Joachim captured titles in the 100 free (1:07) and 50 fly (32.55) and silvered in the 100 fly (1:15.58), 200 IM (2:48.76) and 200 free (2:33.33). She also touched third in the 50 backstroke (35.51). Grevers’ SA girls squad placed sixth (323 points) out of 50 clubs, and Frydenlund’s NT crew finished 15th (151).

of swimming. “Judo was good for my cardiovascular system; it helped develop my endurance,” he said. Vorobev’s swims last weekend in Lincolnshire paced HPAC’s 20th-place showing (103 points) in a field of 54 clubs.

Kingsley: a state champ Lake Forest Swim Club member Colin Kingsley reigned in the 10-and-under 200 free race, touching in 2:24.89. He also finished third in the 200 IM (2:50.39) and fifth in the 50 free (31.68) and 100 free (1:09.57) events. In the 100 breaststroke, Kingsley placed sixth (1:35.63). New Trier Swim Club’s Jack Walter, meanwhile, took fifth in the 13-14 400 IM (5:03.04), while teammate Charles Scheinfeld finished seventh in the 13-14 100 breast (1:14.09) and eighth in the 200 breast (2:41.86). Scout Aquatics member Alexander Ortiz was eighth in the 11-12 100 breast (1:22.39). ■

Vorobev shines in five events Andrew Vorobev cornered the market on silver medals at last weekend’s Speedo Long Course Age Group State Swimming Championships at Stevenson. A Highland Park Aquatics Club member and rising seventh-grader at Elm Place Middle School in Highland Park, he sped to runner-up honors and personal-best times in five events in the 11-12 age group. Yezan Alsader of the Bloomington/Normal Waves topped Vorobev in each event. “It’s not always best to be the best at meets,” Vorobev said. “Finishing second so many times, that will make me strive that much harder to improve. “I still have a long way to go.” HPAC coach Danny Weinberg stood nearby as Vorobev spoke poolside, smiling while hearing his charge’s golden attitude. “He’s a good and humble kid, isn’t he?” Weinberg said. “Andrew loves a challenge, works hard, and he’s versatile. I’m OK with those seconds, considering [Alsader] is one of the best in the country in his age group. “When Andrew is about to swim in a final,” Weinberg added, “he gets jacked up.” Vorobev clocked finals times of 2:08.35 in the 200-meter freestyle; 1:03.91 in the 100 butterfly; 4:30.52 in the 400 free; 59.27 in the 100 free; and 2:23.34 in the 200 IM.

Homer Happy New Trier Blue cracks three homers, holds off Scouts in 14A title game ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com

When Charlie Burton launched a pitch over the right-field fence in the bottom of the sixth inning — his team’s third homer of the game — it didn’t figure to be all that significant. Burton’s opposite field, two-run blast put New Trier Blue ahead 11-4 in the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League’s 14A championship game at Community Park West in Glenview on July 28. “At the time, I didn’t think we’d need those runs,” said New Trier Blue head coach JB McCallum. But, as it turned out, Burton’s bomb proved to be the signature hit of the game, after the Lake Forest Scouts fought back to score five times in the top of seventh. The tying runs were on base, when New Trier’s Eric Moerschel got the final out — a groundball to second — to nail down an 11-9 victory. “Coming back like that says a lot about our team’s character and competitiveness,” said Lake Forest head coach Kevin Konsler. In this wildly entertaining title game, there were plenty of great efforts. New Trier’s Matt Kann doubled home a run in the first inning and then smashed a game-tying two-run homer to dead center field in the third inning.

“He’s a big power guy,” said McCallum, noting that Kann has hit six homers this summer. Kann will attend a boarding school out East this fall. Lake Forest’s Christian McCauley had two key hits in the game. He doubled home a run in the opening frame, and he led off the seventh inning with a single and came around to score. Andrew Potter, who plays third base for New Trier, also went deep. Batting behind Kann, Potter drove a high fastball over the left-center field fence in the third inning to give New Trier a 5-4 lead.

Evan Boudreaux Lake Forest

Basketball: The 6-foot-7 standout, who will be a junior at Lake Forest High School, helped his club team, Team NLP, win the AAU 11th Grade Division I National Championship on July 29 at the Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Fla. Team NLP (Next Level Performance), which is coached by ex-Chicago Bull Dickie Simpkins, defeated Team Thad Young, an Under Armour-sponsored team based in Memphis, Tenn., 63-51 in the championship. The 16-year-old Boudreaux, who finished the final three tournament games with 40 points and 40 rebounds, played the championship with a broken nose, which he sustained earlier in the day in semifinal action. “Evan played like a high major (college) player,” said Simpkins. Team NLP earned runner-up honors in this tournament a year ago. This year’s title game can be viewed on ESPN 3. Zoe Redei Highland Park Lea Waddle Lake Forest

Soccer: This duo helped Eclipse Elite Black U-15 to another national title. Redei scored two goals, including one in overtime, as Eclipse topped Ambassadors FC (Ohio) 4-1 in the title match at the 2013 US Youth Soccer National Championships in Overland, Kan., on July 28. Eclipse finished 3-0-1 in the four-game set.

Redei also had a goal in the team’s 5-0 victory over the Boise Nationals Italia. Waddle was the story in Eclipse’s 2-1 triumph against Tennessee SC. The Lake Forest resident scored two goals in rapid-fire fashion in the second half: 49:00 and 50:00. In the opener, Eclipse played MSC Coyotes Green (Md.) to a 1-1 tie. Katie Sadera of Winnetka also plays for Eclipse. A week earlier, Eclipse earned a 15-U national crown at the Elite Clubs National League in Virginia. Meanwhile, FC United U-18 finished 1-2 in the national tournament in Kansas. Coached by Craig Snower, the squad ended the season with a win over Legends FC 94 (Calif.) 3-2. Abby Reed had two goals. Montana Paley also scored. In other action, FC United dropped 2-1 decisions to Leahi 95 Premier and VSA Heat Blue. Sydney Rumple and Reed scored the goals. Joey Laughlin Lake Forest

Golf: Battling tough weather conditions, Laughlin shot a 74 in the second round to win the Kenosha Classic on July 26. His score of 149 at the Kenosha Country Club was just enough to edge Spring Grove’s Jordan Hahn (150) in this Mid-American Junior Golf Tour (MAJGT) event. Winnetka’s Nicholas Iserloth carded a 151 to finish in a tie for third. Winnetka’s Jack Junge and Lake Forest’s

Jake Kunz shot 157s and wound up in a three-way tie for seventh. Lake Forest’s Martin Montagne and Winnetka’s Nick Abbott came in with 159s to place in the top 10. In girls action, Lake Forest’s Cindy Wang took third place (259), while Highland Park’s Tina Berardi placed sixth (168). Kelli Ono Highland Park

Golf: She advanced to the semifinal round of the girls match play bracket in the Chick Evans Jr. Amateur (CEJA) on July 22-26 at Itasca Country Club. Her chance to play in the final was blocked by Lemont’s Lauren Beaudreau 5 and 4. Ono, who will be a junior at Highland Park High School, qualified to match play after shooting a 150 (second place) in stroke play. Lake Forest’s Cindy Wang took 16th in stroke play (161) but lost in the first round of match play to the eventual champ, Jessica Yuen of Bollingbrook (5 and 3). In boys action, Lake Forest’s Martin Montague, Nick Lavezzorio and Joe Egan; Highland Park’s Noah Apter and Noah Fishbein; Winnetka’s Nicholas Iserloth and Austin Rendell; and Wilmette’s John Wegener qualified to the match play bracket but none of them advanced to the quarterfinal round. headliners >> page 38

New Trier Blue’s Matt Kann removes his helmet at home plate after hitting a home run in the third inning.

Lake Forest second baseman Jonny Salm had a productive game. He walked and scored the game’s first run. And he hit a sharp single to left field to score a run in the seventh. Things could have been even better for Salm. In addition to being robbed of a hit by Potter, he came up just shy of a home run in the fifth inning when he sent New Trier center fielder Matt Gallo to the warning track. Right-hander Sean Douaire, who was touched up for four runs in the first three innings, had a dynamite finish for New Trier. He finished with eight strikeouts in his six innings of work. He struck out the side in the fourth inning. He also helped his cause with two singles. This hard thrower threw a perfect game in his team’s LSFBA regularseason finale against Mundelein. Lake Forest’s Andrew Athenson, Daniel Hanson, Paul Turelli and Andrew Goodwin played smart baseball in the top of the seventh. Needing base runners, they displayed good patience at the plate. “The bottom of the order sparked us (in the seventh),” said Konsler, referring to three walks and a hit batsman. “There are no selfish players on our team. They trust the guy in front of them (in the batting order) and the guy behind them.” New Trier also received clutch atbats from Francis Fay (sacrifice fly), Michael Graham (RBI single), Danny Sullivan (single, RBI double) and Gallo (RBI double). Thomas Nugent (single) and Moerschel (double) also contributed to the team’s 15-hit attack. Charlie Hexamer didn’t reach

base but played well at first base.

Notable: New Trier, which drew the No. 1 seed with a 14-2 regular season record in the LSFBA, finished the season with four tournament titles. The team also took 15th out of 40 teams in a national tourney in Omaha, Neb. … JB McCallum, a New Trier grad, plays college baseball at DePauw (Ind.) University. The shortstop/third baseman finished his junior campaign batting .267 with 23 runs and 27 RBI. … Konsler, a graduate of LFHS who played his college baseball at Illinois State, was assisted by his brother, Stephen Konsler. who played at LFHS and the University of Dayton. … One of Lake Forest’s top players didn’t play in the tournament. Jason Cast, who hits No. 3 in the batting order, was away on a church mission trip with his dad. Cast belted three home runs against Northbrook in his team’s LSFBA season finale. … The Scouts, who finished the season 33-24, also competed in the Northern Illinois Competitive Baseball League (NICBL) this summer. They advanced to the tourney title game and lost 11-8 to the Northwest Crushers. … Three LF players were named to the NICBL all-star team: Ryan Chandler, Hanekamp and Cast. … Lake Forest Baseball Association’s other tournament champ was its 10A team … New Trier White won the 14 American and 13 American titles, while New Trier Youth won the 10 American crown. ■

Two spring chickens enjoy nature-oriented excursion We went up to a bed and breakfast around Madison, Wis. called The Speckled Hen. It was in the middle of nowhere and run by a very friendly couple. They have five rooms. It was a great, lovely place. Outside there’s a chicken farm — they had chickens and llamas. We rented a tandem bicycle there — a lot of bike paths are around the area. We went to the farmers market in Madison. It was great — they had cheese curds in more varieties than there are kinds of yoga pants in Highland Park.

“We’re both into chickens. It’s been a recent phenomenon. We try to visit as many chickens as possible.” | Sharon Rosenweig

Highland Park resident Sharon Rosenweig and her husband, Aaron Freeman, hold some of their favorite chickens.

The artisanal beers are good too. We found a vegetarian Indian restaurant in Madison that we enjoyed eating at. My (Sharon’s) son owns a game store in Madison. His friends played a game called Magic: The Gathering, a card game. We checked out the culture of the gamers. They spoke funny languages. It was an amazing cultural experience, the juxtaposition between the college intellectual set and staying at a place with chickens. Each one made us appreciate the other. We’re both into chickens. It’s been a recent phenomenon. We try to visit as many chickens as possible. In Highland Park, there’s a flood of renegade chickens who we love visiting. We play with them.
