THE THRILL OF THE CHASE. THE LAP OF LUXURY. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. As a true Aston Martin, motorsport has played its part in the development of our four door sports car. In May 2010, Aston Martin contested the annual Nürburgring 24 hours in a near-standard roadregistered Rapide. With only minor changes to satisfy racing safety requirements, this car – complete with standard Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission – ran fast and faultlessly throughout, achieving second in class and 34th overall from a starting grid of 200 purpose-built racing cars. As with all our racing activity, lessons learned in that gruelling event have directly influenced the development of future road car products, including the Rapide S.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Moving the chains for a number of firsts

ootball has been in my thoughts lately — and not just because of the Lake Forest-based Chicago Bears, alone in first place under new coach and Winnetka resident Marc Trestman. For the first time, I’m involved in fantasy football. Both my sons (9 and 6) have constructed teams with title aspirations. The excitement in our house on Sundays (and even this past Monday night) is quite a bit different from years past, with my 9-year-old frequently checking the performances of Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton, Houston’s Arian Foster and others whom we cared nothing about until the recent draft. For the first time as well, this past Sunday, I attended a game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Outside the stadium, there was a bar called The Bar, the ability to park for $10 complete with restroom access (in an office building whose technology would have been greatly updated with the introduction of a facsimile machine) and sausageand-cheese necklaces for sale. Indoors, I expected an aging, ratty spot (it is the oldest stadium in the NFL, after all). Instead, the seating was comfortable, the video boards gigantic and clear, and the club level area featured vodka bottles ensconced in an ice sculpture. Though Bart Starr and other

the new fall trend; more is less.

Packer greats were honored at halftime, their Lambeau was as different from the 21st century version as the frozen tundra was from … well, the frozen Absolut carving. Starr’s presence on the field brings to mind another quarterback, this one closer to home. $ Loyola Academy’s Jack Penn fired four touchdown passes last week in a Rambler rout.

8 | news ■ by bill mclean The last kind of real estate broker you want to help sell your house is one who sticks a sign in your front yard and hopes for the best. To avoid making such a dire hire, a seller must ask the right questions to several brokers before choosing a competent, hard-working one. “Customer service is so important in our field, even when nothing is happening with a seller’s house,” said broker Mary Kay Burke of Coldwell Banker-Winnetka. “It never hurts to make a call and remind a seller, ‘I’m still working for you.’ “Constant, open communication — I can’t stress enough how important that is.” The interview between a seller and prospective broker is often a crucial one and the ideal way to gather pertinent information and insights before standing up, extending your right hand and saying, “You’re hired.” Nine busy folks in the real estate field along the North Shore were tossed each a few questions a seller should ask a broker in an interview. But we didn’t ask the professionals to answer them; we asked them to explain why each question is an important one for sellers to ask. “I love it when I get asked a tough, detailed question from a seller,” said Jean Wright of Jean Wright Real Estate in Winnetka. “That gives me the opportunity to provide a straight, detailed answer. Sure, the seller is the boss in the relationship, but what should end up happening is the formation of a seller-broker team. “You can’t be at odds during the process of selling a house,” she added. “The broker and the seller have to be compatible, and a seller is going to find out if that would be the case during a thorough interview.”

u Here are 10 questions sellers should consider asking after sitting down with a broker:

uWhy should I work with you to help me sell my house?

“It’s a good question because it gives brokers the opportunity to reveal their strengths and philosophies,” said broker Linda Antokal of Coldwell Banker-Deerfield. “It also gives brokers a chance to share their reputation and work style. It’s an important one to ask, since the plan should be to work together to sell a home.” Added Peter Moulton, @properties Vice President of Brokerage Services-North Shore: “Agents worth their salt give an answer to such a question from a performance perspective. If I’m a seller, the last thing I want to hear from an agent is, ‘Work with me because I love what I do.’ A seller should want to hear, ‘I sell at a 60 percent rate faster than the average market capture.’ ”

uWhat is the average list price to sale price in my area for comparable properties?

“As part of an overview of the current competitive environment, this type of data allows you to plan for the likelihood of what buyers will be willing to do,” said Roberta Miller, a broker/marketing specialist at Baird & Warner-Lake Forest. “Buyers have access to the same data as sellers do, so if you are familiar with how similar properties fare, you can be prepared.”

uWhat is the most effective means to create exposure for the sale of my property?

“It is important that emphasis is not put solely in one direction,” said @properties co-owner Thaddeus Wong. “The presentation of the home, both online and in print, starts with staging and photography. After the ideal imagery is captured, directing it to all syndicated sites online, as well as the most desirable local print media, is essential. [A seller] should ensure that a local broker has enhanced the home on the three major national sites. Lastly, [the question allows agents to discuss] their internal network. Often local agents will have a communication tool which will point out agents in their company with buyers interested in your home. This ‘market within a market’ can often capture a buyer immediately and at market price, with agreeable terms.”

For the asking

Home sellers need answers to 10 questions from potential brokers

uAt what price would YOU buy my house?

“Since a local broker is likely representative of the most keen buyer, it’s a good question to ask,” said broker Michael Heagney of Koenig & Strey Real Living-Lake Forest. “Why would someone pay more for a home than what the broker would pay?”

uWhat are the three best things about my house and the three biggest deficiencies of my house?

“Those questions,” Coldwell Banker’s Burke said, “are important because they can give a good sense of what a broker is seeing compared to what the seller is seeing. You want it to be the same vision. Sellers are sometimes subjective, which is absolutely normal. Brokers are there for objectivity and, in some cases, to provide a reality check for the seller. Honesty in dialogue between a realtor and a seller is key.”

uWhat is your forecast (regionally, for my specific area and for my specific property) for market conditions over the next six months? “In conjunction with other market information, knowing where our market seems to be headed can help [the seller manage] expectations,” Baird & Warner’s Miller said. “If interest rates are forecast to climb or decline, that may well influence buyers. [Assuring a seller that you’re] keeping up to date on market conditions is valuable.” Added Wright of Jean Wright Real Estate: “The seller has to know that the broker is knowledgeable about the market and its trends. At some point in the interview, the broker must detail for the seller what the broker has done for homeowners in the past.”

uWhat is the neighborhood/village in which you primarily do business?

“I’ve learned you can’t be an expert on every community,” said Prudential Rubloff Properties-Lake Forest Vice President Jean Anderson, who focuses on the Lake Forest/ Lake Bluff market. “A lot of my business for many years was vacant land and new construction, but I had to recreate myself when that market disappeared. It’s important [for a seller] to pick an agent familiar with the town in which [the seller] lives.” Added @properties’ Moulton: “Neighborhoods and villages have nuances. You want your broker to be aware of those because they’re helpful when determining the prices of homes.”

uWhat are your cumulative average days on market over the last 36 months? The key word in the question is “cumulative.” A simple

“days on market” figure could be misleading because homes have been taken off the market temporarily after, say, 30 days (perhaps it was overpriced), and then put back on the market. The return to the market resets the “days on market” count to “0,” making some buyers new to the scene think the listing is fresh (at a different price) — and therefore one to check out quickly. “It’s like rolling back the listing’s odometer,” wrote California-based broker John Fyten in a johnfyten.com article entitled Making sense of market indicators, Part 2. “[The] home gets to forget its past and start life anew.” A “cumulative days on the market” number is a running total of the days a house resides on the market. If it’s on the market for 30 days, gets taken off the market for a few weeks, and then returns to the market for another 30 days, it’s “cumulative days on the market” number is 60. “It’s a good indication of a broker’s skills at pricing homes attractively and accurately,” said Susan Maman, a senior broker consultant at @properties in Winnetka. “It’s also a reflection of trends in price range in a particular community. “But the main thing,” she added, “is accuracy. So much of what we do is helping the seller sell at the highest price in the least amount of time.”

uWhat is your average list price to sale price ratio over the last 36 months?

“Some sellers insist on a price that’s high, sometimes crazy high,” said Wright. “Some may list it too low. It can be a good question to ask when you’re interviewing a broker, but it’s sometimes a number that can be too crazy and difficult [to interpret].” Prudential Rubloff’s Anderson said her average list price to sale price ratio is “around 90 percent.” She then noted, “So much depends on if short sales are involved.” Added @properties’ Moulton: “It substantiates an agent’s performance, meaning there’s an opportunity to show a seller that an agent is dealing with a market-based strategy instead of a wish strategy.”

uWhat is the average market time for comparable properties in my area?

“It sets up a time frame so the seller can be confident in what to expect,” said Coldwell Banker’s Antokal. “I can give a seller an average market time. There are certain conditions, however, that are strong factors behind an average market time, with location and seller motivation being two of them. Bad curb appeal might be why a house stays on the market longer than comparable properties do. There are reasons why an average market time is higher in areas, and it’s up to a broker to share that knowledge with a seller.” ■

■ by joanna brown Lake Forest’s Derwen Mawr Prairie is an idyllic place to run. This section of the Skokie River Nature Preserve includes woodlands, savannas, meadows, prairies and wetlands. The soft trails of chipped wood provide a physical challenge different from the city’s pavement, and the forest sounds offer a respite from a hectic day. “The trail is so amazing,” said Lake Forest resident Ed Zylka, a 12-year member of the Lake Forest-Lake Buff Running Club. “When you’re in the middle of it you can’t hear anything but the birds and animal sounds, and you can’t believe you’re in the middle of the North Shore. I’ve been running it a lot this summer, and it changes personality about every two weeks because of the wildflowers that bloom.” Zylka will formally introduce this local gem to the greater community of runners Saturday, Sept. 21 at the inaugural Swinging Bridge 8K Trail Race. The Lake Forest-Lake Buff Running Club has organized this race to benefit the Lake Forest Open Lands Association’s Center for Conservation Leadership, a program for high school and middle school students interested in becoming better environmental stewards. “It will be an adventure — an introduction to a new area to see and visit, and we’ll be doing something good for the environment,” said Running Club member Ron Thomas of Glencoe. Participants will find environmentally friendly details as soon as they arrive at the staging area at Deer Path Middle School. “Where other races give out plastic goodie bags with samples and coupons and a shirt, we’re doing a virtual goodie bag of offers and deals, which will produce no waste,” explained Zylka. “We’re not giving out plastic bottles of water, but we will have water available in

09/21 – 09/22/13

compostable cups that will all go back to the compost area at Open Lands at the end of the event. And our shirts are made from recycled old racing shirts, which is pretty cool.” Once runners cross Deerpath to enter the prairie at 8 a.m., the trail will be marked with flour and volunteers to protect the pristine space and keep runners moving in the right direction. Participants will pass a swinging bridge for which the race is named. The event is a throwback to the Lake ForestLake Buff Running Club’s roots. Founder Barry Seiller organized volunteers 30 years ago to plan the North Shore Marathon, and the group morphed into the Running Club. But current members say the club is primary a social outlet for athletes of all ages and abilities. Thomas and Zylka are two of the many runners who gather at the East Lake Forest train station Saturday mornings, rain or shine, for a 10K run to Lake Michigan. The route is such that club members alter it to accommodate their personal limits. Kimberly Loughlin of Highland Park runs about two miles each week with the club while her body recuperates from the recent birth of her son. But she still comes out for the social benefits of running in a group that ranges from 10 to 100 participants each week. “I became a much better runner when I started running with the club,” she said. “I used to be a walker, and then I ran by myself, and once I joined the club I realized that when I’m talking to other people I don’t realize how far I’ve gone. The club is a real family environment where everyone supports each other.” The Swinging Bridge Race has been certified Green by the Chicago Area Runners Club and is sanctioned by USA Track and Field.

These days, everyone is fired up about Bagpipes

Bagpipes & Bonfire Field Marshal John Dick enjoys a moment with his wife, Brenda, and grandson Henry at a past event.

photography by joel lerner ■ by joanna brown When Lake Forest resident John Dick envisioned the first fall bonfire for the Lake Forest Open Lands Association, his plans were modest: invite members and their guests out for hors d’oeuvres, tethered balloon rides and a little roaming entertainment before bagpipers announced the lighting of a bonfire. He expected 200 people to participate. “They said it was crazy, and it would never work,” Dick recalled. Twenty-six years later, 1,700 people will gather for Bagpipes & Bonfire at Middlefork Farm Nature Preserve — one of Lake Forest Open Lands’ premier preserves — for dinner as well as the chance to see 100 or so Scottish bagpipers, pony rides, Highland dancers, and the arrival of sky divers wearing kilts on Sunday, Sept. 29, beginning at 4 p.m. The event reaches its peak at dusk, when the bonfire is lit. “It’s a community celebration of the open spaces we work so hard to protect and are lucky to have,” said John Sentell, president of Lake Forest Open Lands. The independently funded organization is dedicated to the acquisition and stewardship of local land. Bagpipes & Bonfire is its only fundraiser, and proceeds support conservation efforts at 800 acres and 12 miles of walking trails, as well as educational programs that reach 4,000 students annually. “The magic of the location and the lighting of the fire is something you never forget,” Sentell says. “It is part of many families’ tradition to welcome autumn every year.” Dick agrees. “The most gratifying part is that generations of families come out together. My kids come in from New York, they bring their kids, and that’s multiplied

1,000 times in families gathering in Lake Forest that day.” Dick annually serves as field marshal for the event, helping guests to better understand what’s happening around them and the history of the land Lake Forest Open Lands is working to protect. Potawatomi Indians built camps, hunted and gathered along the riverbanks. Nevertheless, Dick said the highland games never fail to impress him. The caber toss, for example, has participants throwing a 20-foot long, 200-pound pole across a field. “They are true athletes, and I’m always amazed at what they can do,” Dick said. “When you watch them up close, you get to see the timing and muscle strength of bodybuilders who travel the country doing this.” Even so, he said, the exhibition is only a prologue to the pipe bands and the lighting of the bonfire. Fueled by the brush and invasive species of plants removed from city and Lake Forest Open Lands properties throughout the summer, the fire is lit at dusk. The crowd respects a moment of silence before a lone bagpiper plays the first notes of Amazing Grace; 100 of his peers join in at the chorus. “All of a sudden you’ve got quite a noise, and people are in tears because it’s so moving. That’s the deal —that’s the moment,” Dick said. For first-time attendees, Sentell recommended finding a map upon arrival and taking time to visit all of the exhibits. “Take a moment and enjoy the vistas and connect with nature; that’s what makes it special,” he said. “We’re all together in this wonderful place to enjoy the summer send-off and enjoy the longer sentries of autumn.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Outdoor classroom offers plenty of lessons ■ by angelika labno Green Bay Road was once home to several Indian guide trees. These trees would be manually trained to grow in a certain direction, bending to signal important locations such as nearby water sources. Over the years, the original trees have all but disappeared from the North Shore, but the tradition has not been lost: the children of Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth will start training their year-old guide tree in their new outdoor classroom. “Our kids today are going to be the stewards of our Earth tomorrow,” said science teacher Lynne Hubert. “It’s 21stcentury skills that we work on here.” The tree is just one of the components of the outdoor classroom, which is beginning its second phase this fall. The terraced garden includes vegetable and flowerbeds, berry bushes, a vineyard, a prairie landscape and a council ring, which serves as a gathering place for a classroom. Preparations are being made for a rain garden, where rain barrels will be connected between spots that come out of a retaining wall, to provide irrigation to the garden in front of it. A sundial and pergola over the council ring will round out this year’s projects. Phase three will incorporate a mosaic wall and butterfly garden. “I think it’s always going to be fluid,” said Superintendent Kelley Kalinich. “Just like nature — you kind of have to go with the flow.” Several groups were instrumental in realizing the superintendent’s dream. The Joseph Sears School Parents’ Volunteer Association made it financially plausible by raising approximately $60,000 at a benefit called “Get Your Green On.” Mike Evans, a landscape architect based in Highland Park, turned a vision into a plan. Sears also became the first suburban school to partner with Openlands Chicago, who in turn taught students how to properly plant

prairie plants and vegetables. Pivotal involvement, however, came from the student environmental club, Planet Panther. “Dr. Kalinich wanted it to be student-focused, because that’s whom it’s for,” said Chaidan Upp, the club’s teacher advisor, who is passing along her role this year. “Planet Panther was instrumental in raising awareness around the school.” The members surveyed classrooms and reported the findings back to the outdoor classroom committee, speaking on behalf of the students as to what they would like to get out of the classroom. They also applied and won a grant for a rain barrel. The members will meet throughout the year to understand what the next steps are for the classroom as it prepares for the next phase. Hubert, too, regularly meets with teachers to discuss the garden’s evolving educational purposes. She divvies lessons up by grade, beginning with butterflies in kindergarten. “It gives kids some reality to what they’re doing,” she said. Hubert has found that children in special education concentrate better when outdoors, and they enjoy the furry sensitivity plants that have been specifically planted for touching. “I have learned about some of the plants that I have seen there, and they look different in the outdoor classroom than they do in the grocery store,” said sixth-grader Sam Nahrwold. “They look bigger and better.” In addition to tying the lessons back to the curriculum, Hubert hopes to instill a love of homegrown food. “Kids have to learn what goes into raising a crop to be able to appreciate where their food comes from,” said Hubert, hoping that themed gardens — such as a pizza (oregano and tomatoes) — will spark an interest. The summer’s harvest produced bountiful zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplant — so much that the school considers teaming with a garden club or shelter in the future.

Students can sign up during recess or after school to spend time reflecting outdoors or participate in maintenance duties, whatever their interest might be. “What I like best about it is that students can understand how important the environment is to the world and how we wouldn’t be in existence without it,” said seventhgrader Leah Caywood. “And also, [I like] the sheer beauty of the outdoors.” ■

PREVIEW Highland Park In the industrial arts class at Highland Park High School from the 1920s-1940s, students received hands-on experience building a house from the ground up. Known as the “boy-built homes,” these structures were sold to residents, and the money funded the class for the following year. A tour and scale model of one of these homes will be included on this year’s Highland Park Historical Society House Tour called Fine on Vine. Set for Sunday, Oct. 6 from noon-4 p.m., the tour begins at Highland Park High School where participants will view school’s Depression-era murals, which were lost for 50 years. Plans for the

NSCDS sophomore’s summer vacation? Creating a plan at Yale

Rachel Cantor

photography by joel lerner

■ by angelika labno North Shore Country Day School sophomore Rachel Cantor’s social activism doesn’t take a summer break. She spent three weeks at Yale University recently learning about social entrepreneurship. She partnered with a Mumbai native to brainstorm this plan: team up with Mumbai’s five-star hotels, pick up their untouched excess food and sell it to the Dharavi slum for a low 22 cents a meal. “Lake Forest Country Day School inspired me to help others because that’s one of their main focuses — community service,” said Cantor, who is now a leader of the NSCDS community service club. “I started to realize that I really enjoyed volunteering and giving back to the community.” She began her movement of change by helping at Highland Park’s Tails of Hope no-kill animal shelter and persuaded her friends to join her. In eighth grade, she implemented a program called “The Piggy Bank Project.” Every month, she collected loose change, rallied the middle school to choose a new charitable cause and donated time and money to it on behalf of the school. Such recipients included a food pantry, Tails of Hope and the Northwestern Settlement House Drive. For her initiatives, Cantor received the Robert Barnard Character Counts Pillar Award from the City of Highland Park this spring. “Rachel is a remarkable kid in her thinking, what she has already accomplished, and where her vision of the world is taking her in the future,” said Bob Bullard, the assistant head of school and director of advancement at LFCDS. Cantor’s vision of bringing Shakespeare to her school was one that closely aligned with former LFCDS drama teacher Manon Spadaro. She had left the school to pursue her organization, Chicago

Youth Shakespeare, which focuses on introducing and educating students on Shakespearean works as well as enacting them. Spadaro appointed Cantor as president of the Youth Advisory Board, and she has been instrumental in developing the non-profit with social media, marketing, branding and correspondence. “Rachel gets things done five minutes before you ask; she’s the most efficient person I know,” said Spadaro. “She could probably run a large business.” Spadaro recommended theater as an interest for Cantor, and it has since led her to participate in every school play — except musicals. She hopes to continue acting for a long time and possibly study theater in college. Spadaro shares that an administrator at LFCDS once said after Cantor’s performance that it was the best performance by an eighth-grader that he had seen in 40 years. “When I’m on the stage, I feel almost infinite,” said Cantor. “Putting myself into someone else’s shoes is fun for me.” She additionally works behind the scenes and is preparing a script for the NSCDS’ Ten Minute Play Festival as part of her Advanced Directing Class. In her free time, she writes fiction pieces, but she prefers to read others’ works. As an editor for the national literary magazine, Polyphony H.S., she reads student works from all over the world. “She doesn’t seem stressed out at all,” added Spadaro. “She enjoys all of it and is able to keep it all in balance.” Her distraction from it all, Cantor reveals, is golf. Being the only girl on the school team, she initially surprised the boys, but she has enjoyed having a peek into their world. She finds the sport itself frustrating, but she loves the challenge. “I feel free of my school life and the hardships of being a teenager,” she concluded. “I let my golf swing guide the way.” ■

Raised by her grandparents from the age of six months old, Stephanie Johnson suffered through their health declines far more than most granddaughters. Arthur Puckett, her grandfather, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in the early 1990s. He lived with it for 18 years. Just before his death, Johnson’s grandmother, Cleta Puckett, felt ill. She checked into a hospital — and was diagnosed with lung cancer. At that point, Johnson had worked as a nurse for 20 years. “My best friend was my great-grandmother when I was a child,” she explains. “So living in that environment with so many seniors, I became a natural caregiver. That’s why I became a nurse.” But the profession took a back seat in 2008, when Johnson quit to become a 24-hour caregiver for both her grandmother and for her grandfather — while trying to raise four children, which made her a poster child for the so-called “sandwich generation.” Before he succumbed in 2009, Johnson was her grandfather’s hospice nurse for the final 48 hours. Her grandmother then moved into Johnson’s home in Orlando, Fla. To get out and enjoy life, Cleta was pushed around Disney World in her wheelchair by Johnson’s children, who had become caregivers of a sort as well. Johnson’s grandmother passed away in 2010. “After my grandparents died, I was at a loss on how to continue,” says Johnson, who grew up in Mt. Vernon, Ill. “This had become my life.” But after earning a bachelor’s degree of science in alternative medicine at Everglades University, she came up with a plan. This year, she opened a franchise of FirstLight HomeCare, a company with locations in a majority of states, to service residents of Lake Forest and Deerfield

with in-home care needs. She chose the North Shore after Walgreen Co. transferred her husband, Christopher, to Lake County from Orlando. From her Libertyville office, Johnson directs a host of caregivers and — a rarity in the business — a chaplain. “This business is important so people can stay in their home,” she says. “My grandmother, it was traumatic for her to sell her home and not be able to stay there. “We let people know it’s cheaper to stay at home, and that they can be safe.” Johnson’s caregivers help in a variety of ways. They give reminders to take medications. They provide personal care, such as bathing and teeth brushing. They drive the elderly to bingo games and doctor appointments. If caregivers are not in the house and a patient falls, they are Stephanie Johnson alerted.

Johnson says her caregivers go through a rigorous background check and are subject to random drug tests. “Being as structured and strict as I was as a nurse, I weed out certain applicants,” Johnson says. “I think, ‘Would I let this person take care of my grandmother?’ I’m very passionate about people getting good quality care.” Johnson says so far she assigns more than 80 hours in services per week but, bogged down by business duties, often misses caregiving herself. “It’s hard for me not to be a part of it,” she says. “I’m constantly trying to be there.” Johnson knows there’s plenty of competition for the services she provides in the Chicago area. At a recent senior expo, she was told about 600 people run caregiving operations. “It’s huge here,” Johnson says. “And I’m not as familiar with the area.” Because of that, she has yet to discover a favorite Sunday Breakfast spot beyond Starbucks, where she orders a tall non-fat latte and oatmeal. When she has a spare moment, Johnson says she enjoys antiquing and reading. She is passionate about FirstLight’s purpose — and the idea that caregiving benefits all involved. “Everyone should have the opportunity to keep their family at home and be with them during their time of need,” Johnson notes. “And it was a gift for all of us to be my grandmother’s caregiver.” ■

Taste of Germany to be in abundance at Gorton’s Oktoberfest ■ by angelika labno

Shannon Shader, Kate Rother, and Miah Armour join Sophia Shader, Thatcher Rother, Graydon Rother, Katie Mueller, and Bobby Rolek at the present playground at the Gorton Community Center. Funds from Oktoberfest could be enough to build a new one.

Schnitzel, beer and lederhosen — the Gorton Children’s Drop-In Center (DIC) is putting on an authentic Oktoberfest on Friday, Sept. 27 at the Lake Forest Club. “We’re trying to make it like you’re in a beer tent in Munich, laughing with your friends,” said Kate Rother, president of the Drop-In’s parent board. The fest is designed as DIC’s annual fundraiser, which benefits the center and brought in a music program last year. This year, the board, past members and families are aggressively reaching for a goal to build a new playground and learning garden to replace its existing one. The project — which requires more money than what Oktoberfest has historically raised — called for a “blowout event,” says Rother. “It’s an expensive endeavor, and we need all hands on deck for it,” she added. “We want to show the community that Gorton is serious about fundraising.” The estimated cost of the project is upwards of $55,000, and it will take approximately two weeks to install. A playground design has been approved, and it will closely resemble the existing structure. A new structure, built closer to the ground, will be specific to infants and toddlers. The learning garden will be a flexible idea, not one set into the pour-in place, so that children can see how things grow in the sun or the shade. Depending on the season, children will plant bulbs, beans and other seeds. The initial planting will begin indoors and be transplanted in the spring. Director Lisa Spewak notes that gardening hits many of the areas of studies that kids already study: math, science, social studies (where things grow) and language skills.

09/21 – 09/22/13

“It’s a long process to go into gardening, but it’s worthwhile for the kids to see, understand and be a part of,” said Spewak. “It’s a very hands-on activity that’s got learning moments and teachable moments, and they’re very spontaneous. It’s not a forced curriculum.” Having the help of a professional party planner was an effective addition to this year’s event. Steve Valenti of All Things Party discounted his time and expertise to provide the most authentic experience of the celebrated Bavarian tradition. Actors and actresses dressed in lederhosen and dirndl dresses will be on hand to serve quality German brews while people munch on German cuisine. The ceiling of the Lake Forest Club will be manipulated to look like a tent, and the patio will be set up with bars and creative lighting. The Smoking Fish will provide the musical backdrop to the event, which will also include a raffle and paddle raise. A silent auction features luxury items such as: an Aspen vacation, Costa Rica vacation, Bears tickets and an autographed Jay Cutler football. The cost for a ticket is $75 — $85 at the door — and can be purchased at www.gortoncenter.org/oktoberfest. The event will run from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. For 25 years, the Children’s Drop-In Center has provided a membership-based program featuring early childhood care, education and summer camp activities for children ranging six weeks to six years in age. Spewak has brought in outside programs, such as Little Athletes, to give children another avenue to learn. “The reason I got involved [with Gorton] is because I think that all communities need a strong community center that has something for everyone of all ages,” said Rother. “It’s just a really quality place that runs quality programs.” ■

Parish to let loose for Oktoberfest ■ by stacy flannery

Winnetka Sacred Heart Parish Business Manager Michelle Wasielewski and Pastor Robert Heidenreich are looking forward to the Sept. 28 Oktoberfest.

photography by joel lerner

It’s time to dust off the lederhosen and join the parishioners of Sacred Heart Parish in Winnetka in their annual Oktoberfest celebration. Set to be held on Saturday, Sept. 28 outdoors on Gage and Burr Streets in front of Sacred Heart School, the festival will offer German fare and music, like oompah band Jimmy’s Bavarians, followed by Dick Holiday and the Bamboo Gang. Kids are welcome, as Oktoberfest will offer an official “root beer” garden, as well as inflatables, face painting, and other games. Oktoberfest begins with an outdoor mass at 4 p.m. and runs until 10 p.m. There will be no entrance fee, but tickets for food, drink, rides, and games will be available at the gate. All funds raised will go on to support the Parish’s ministry and outreach programs. “Being a large parish, we have a number of fundraisers during the year, including our traditional Nite Lites event and St. Patty’s Day party in the spring,” says Michelle Wasielewski, Sacred Heart business manager, member of the Planning Committee and parishioner. “Each of our events is appealing in its own right, but Oktoberfest is focused on celebrating our entire parish and neighborhood communities.” The event rolls into its second year and, as Wasielewski points out, tweaks were made to enhance the festival’s appeal. A larger, family-friendly beer garden and eating area will be added, allowing families to dine together. Additional accommodations have been made to necessitate the large crowds, and the event will also last one hour later this year. “We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the turnout at least year’s event,” says Wasielewski. “We had no idea what to expect with it being our first year. Looking back, the multiple trips to purchase additional food, combined with the frenzied pace just to keep up with the demand, were quite comical.” Admission to Oktoberfest on Sept. 28 is free. Tickets for food, drink, rides, and games will be available for $1 each. For more information, visit sacredheartwinnetka.com. ■

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Smith helps himself with role in ‘70s-style sitcom ■ by gregg shapiro Brad Smith, a Highland Park native, can be seen as Butch in the world premiere production of B-Side Studio, a live, 1970s-style sitcom series running through Oct. 12 at The Logan Center for the Arts, 915 E. 60th on the University of Chicago campus. A singer/songwriter who performs and records as Sad Brad Smith, his song “Help Yourself” was featured in the George Clooney movie “Up In The Air,” as well as on the best-selling soundtrack. Smith, a graduate of the Theatre School at DePaul University, received rave reviews for his performance in Next Theatre’s production of Everything is Illuminated and also appeared in Chicago theatrical productions including The Casuals, TML: How Carson McCullers Saved My Life, The Weir and David’s Mother, as well as in the films “The Ice Harvest,” “Stranger than Fiction” and “Let’s Go to Prison.” Gregg Shapiro: You are currently playing the role of jingle writer Butch in B-Side Studio. How did you become involved in the production? Brad Smith: I lived in the same building as The Inconvenience five or six years ago. I met them then, and we’ve been sort of friendly since then. I now live with Ike Holter, one of the (company’s) writers. A couple of other people from The Inconvenience live there, too. I’d been in the house about a week or less and then got asked to come in the next day for an audition. I think if I wasn’t living there I probably wouldn’t be in the show. GS: Set in 1977, the show is a sort of homage to 1970s sitcoms. Do you have a favorite sitcom or two from that era? BS: As a kid I certainly watched a lot of Three’s Company. And obviously Mary Tyler Moore is a great show. We watched the final episode of that as sort of an instructional video for this (B-Side Studio). GS: Four episodes of B-side Studio are being taped before an audience at The Logan Center for the Arts to be posted later online. BS: The following Monday after, I think. So there will be a day in between the final performance of each episode and when it’s online, ideally. GS: As an actor, what are the challenges and rewards of having to memorize and rehearse a limited-run concept such as B-Side Studio? BS: It’s actually not unfamiliar for me. There’s another company that I work with called Back Room Shakespeare that does unrehearsed Shakespeare performances. One performance. You memorize your own role, and you’re on. So with this we get three chances to do it, so it’s great [laughs]. Also, the idea that it’s being filmed, it will live on forever. It

actually has more longevity than most projects. GS: You get to sing and play guitar in B-Side Studio. Was that a selling point for the role of Butch? BS: I definitely think that’s part of the reason that they thought of me, or a lot of the reason. For me, I was almost more hesitant. My music is very personal to me, and I’m not a classically trained musician as far as learning other people’s music is concerned. What’s fun with this is that I get to play music as a character. So it’s not how I play it but how he would play it. GS: As I mentioned, Butch is a writer of jingles. Have you ever written any jingles? BS: I’ve thought about it. It certainly seems like a good way to make money. (But) it’s too difficult for me to hide my disdain for most products. GS: At one point, you sing the Empire jingle – “588-2300-Empire” – as someone who grew up in the area, did that tune become ingrained in your memory? BS: Yes! When I initially read the script, obviously these guys are not the ones who made the Empire Carpet jingle. So I sing it how it sounded but changed the last note. Then I got the note (from the director) that it should be totally different. But it’s really hard to sing those numbers to any other tune. I keep trying to come up with stuff and it just keeps slipping back into that. GS: As recording studios go, how does the one in B-Side Studio compare to the ones in which you’ve been? BS: It’s pretty similar. A lot of couches and ashtrays. GS: You’ve probably answered this question about a million times, but for The North Shore Weekend readers who might not know, please say something about how your song “Help Yourself,” got to be included on the soundtrack to the George Clooney movie Up In The Air. BS: The short version of the story is that I left a CD of my recordings in a friend’s car in Los Angeles. He played it for a mutual friend of ours who had recently married actress Catherine Reitman who is (Up In The Air director) Jason Reitman’s sister. He was just in the preliminary stages of working on the movie. About a year went by and then I get a call that said that Jason’s going to be calling you in the next couple of days. It snowballed pretty quickly from there. GS: How did you come up with Sad Brad Smith, the moniker under which you record your music? BS: Embarrassment, really. This is going to date me a little bit, but not too much. I was creating a MySpace page for my music around 2006 or 2007 and I was putting a few songs up there. Nobody had really heard my music except for a select group of friends. I was self-conscious about the sort of mopey nature of the songs, so I wanted to get ahead of anybody who would criticize (them for that) by coming out of the gate and acknowledging that I’m a sad bastard and also let people know

Brad Smith

photography by joel lerner that I’m not walking around with a razor to my wrist. I have a sense of humor about the whole thing. GS: Your album Love Is Not What You Need came out a few years ago. Are there plans for you to release a fulllength follow-up? BS: Yes, it’s been recorded. It’s finished. I just got all the files for it last week. Going into mastering next month and then going to do a slow buildup to releasing it in March (2014). GS: Would you describe yourself as an actor who sings and writes songs or a singer/songwriter who acts? BS: I used to be an actor/singer/songwriter, now I’m a singer/songwriter/actor. Only because I made more money with music [laughs]. So it seemed appropriate to switch them around. People outside of the theater community in Chicago know that I’m a musician. Whereas the acting more limited to the people who make theater and people who go see theater which are pretty much the people who make theater and their aunts and uncles [laughs]. GS: As a musician from Highland Park, have you ever had the chance to perform on the Ravinia stage? BS: No. I’ve never even been asked, do you believe that [laughs]? GS: There’s time. BS: That’s true. Ringo (Starr) didn’t get there until he was 55. GS: What are some of your fondest Highland Park memories? BS: Growing up, I used to go to Shelton’s almost every Saturday with my dad and brother, and sometimes my mom. It’s still there though I think they’re only open for breakfast. I worked at Ravinia in high school. I got fired. I worked in the gatehouse and then I rented chairs for a couple of years. Maybe that’s why they haven’t asked me to play [laughs]. ■

a matter of taste

From Ritz to Deer Path, chef embraces change, quality ■ by katie rose mceneely Abderezak Khellil is the chef for the Deer Path Inn restaurant in Lake Forest. How did you start cooking? I started cooking when I was in Italy — I lived there for five years when I was studying in 1990. Years cooking? 23. What made you decide to become a professional chef? When I started cooking, I was helping in a kitchen, helping the chef with the preparation. Everything that I did, I did it right — the maître d’ wanted me to be a waiter, but the chef wanted me to stay in the kitchen. The chef was my mentor. Best recipe tweak? When I test food and see the picture of the food, I do it in my way. When I was working at the Ritz Carlton in Chicago, the chef of the fine dining room always made a steak. I’d go back to the café and try to make it my way. I’d always change the plate — I see Italian things, I change it. Signature dish? I always do the best risotto. Favorite cuisine to make? Italian cuisine. It’s where I started cooking, and I know it’s very, very good. My background is North African and French, but Italian is what I like.

“We always change the menu at the Deer Path, every season … the people here keep coming back, so we try to accommodate them and ask their opinion.” | Abderezak Khellil

What do you like to eat at home? I always eat light food — salad with some chicken, just normal food. I like people to cook for me. Worthwhile gadget? The blazer and the steamer. Favorite cookbook? “Larousse Gastronomique,” by Prosper Montagne. Favorite fruit or vegetable? I like broccolini and swiss chard. As for fruit — I enjoy apricots, peaches. Proudest of: When I started in 1999, coming from the Ritz Carlton, I changed a lot in the food here. We always change the menu at the Deer Path, every season, and we always do what people like. The people here keep coming back, so we try to accommodate them and ask their opinion. We have a rustic table of antipasto — I always like to eat from there. I also like the sushi here. I have a sushi chef who is very good. Funniest or most memorable kitchen incident? We do a lot of banquets at the Deer Path Inn. One time we had a wedding in the English room and another wedding in Windsor Hall. We switched the appetizer from one wedding to another. It was a little bit scary, but everything was good and we were able to change it at the last minute. Miscommunication! It’s very important to communicate in this field. We are lucky it was just the first table. The Deer Path Inn is located at 255 E. Illinois Road in Lake Forest. For more information visit dpihotel.com or call 847-234-2280. ■

business | 37 main street A North Shore golfer’s thoughts on completing the top 100 courses

■ by bob gariano Lake Forest’s Scotty Wood is one of only several hundred golfers in the United States who has played the top 100 golf courses in the country. Wood, a retired insurance executive who lives in the Academy Woods community of Lake Forest, is an active member at Conway Farms Golf Club. He started his quest to play all of the top 100 when he read Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Course list in 1996. He realized that he had a head start. During his youth and business career he had already played 35 of the courses on the list. With encouragement and support from his wife, he became determined to play the rest of the courses on the list. “I suppose golf is in my DNA. My grandfather was three-time PNGA (Pacific

Northwest Golf Association) amateur champion, and my dad was a four handicap at the San Francisco Golf Club,” Wood says. “I played competitively as a student in high school and college. At Menlo College, we used the Stanford University Golf Club course. I guess I have played that course at least 500 times.” Playing the top 100 courses is a moving target, as the Golf Magazine list has changed from time to time over the years (Golf Digest prints one as well). To complete the 100 Top Courses challenge, Wood actually played 118 courses, as new ones were added to the list and older courses dropped. He calculates that he visited courses in 34 states in his quest. The hardest courses to get to were Prairie Dunes in western Kansas and Sand Hills in western Nebraska. Both courses were well worth

the effort and travel. “The most expensive round that I played was Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, where I paid the club pro to play with me,” Wood recalls. “Greens fees that day cost me about $700. The least expensive rounds were those that cost me nothing, as I was invited by friends or supporters to play their courses. For instance that generosity allowed me to play at Pine Valley, Augusta, and Cypress Point as a guest. “The first course that I played on the list was the legendary public course at Pebble Beach in 1956. The greens fee that day were $15 for a student” (today, a round there will set you back about $500). “The last course I played to complete the list was Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey in 2009. During the round, my host called Donald Trump to tell him about my completing the challenge. Trump asked to speak to me and, when I put the cell phone to my ear, there was ‘the Donald’ congratulating me in person. It was some experience!” Travel is not an insignificant part of the 100 Top Courses challenge. Sometimes it helps to combine a single trip into several outings. Perhaps Wood’s most efficient trip was a golf outing in 2008. He played six top courses in the New York area — Shinnecock, National, Maidstone, Friar’s Head, Bethpage Black, and Garden City — all in four and a half days. “Today, I use my experience at the top courses as an advisor to Golf Digest,” he notes. “The editors annually seek our views to select the best courses in the country. There are 1,000 of us golfers around the country who provide these ratings and opinions. I suppose my top five courses today, as a personal opinion, are Pine Valley, Cypress Point, Augusta, Oakmont, and Crystal Downs. All of these courses combine a sense of golf history and the challenge of great course design. It is interesting that three of these courses were designed by Alister MacKenzie.

“I think a great golf course is defined around the greens. We get a thrill watching big hitters with their 350-yard drives. But the best golfers excel with their short games and with precise putting on undulating greens. That’s where the game really defines itself.”

“I think a great golf course is defined around the greens. We get a thrill watching big hitters with their 350-yard drives. But the best golfers excel with their short games.” | Scotty Wood In addition to travel time and expenses and getting access to exclusive private venues, weather is always a consideration in this outdoor sport. Wood said that his worst weather experience was when he braved a cold driving rainstorm in 2009 at Wade Hampton in Cashier, N.C. Usually blessed with beautiful weather conditions, the course that day was a weather nightmare. “My host stayed in the cart while I played,” he says, “but, thoroughly drenched and shivering, I finished the round.” Wood sums up his takeaway from his golf experiences. “I met hundreds of people, many of who were generous and hospitable enough to invite me to play their courses. Some were perfect strangers before the match. It sticks in my mind how all of these people were willing to help and encourage me in my challenge to play the top 100 courses. I think this speaks to the honor and fellowship that is an integral part of this grand old game.” Main Street columnist Bob Gariano can be reached at bob@northshoreweekend. com. ■

The Page Turner

With his riveting style of play, HP’s Paley is a good read on the gridiron Giant undertaking: Highland Park senior wideout Grant Paley get upended by a pair of Evanston Wildcats in the Giants' 20-10 loss on September 12th.

photography by ting shen

■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com When Grant Paley didn’t wear a football helmet this past summer, the Highland Park High School senior wide receiver/defensive back buried his head in a book. In between huddles he cuddled up with a good novel. “I read 20-30 books in the summer,” said the 5-foot9, 165-pounder, who’s also a vital special-teamer — and capable of doing 20-30 things very well on a football field. Paley has read everything author Dan Brown has published, including The Da Vinci Code. He once got reprimanded for reading a book that had nothing to do with numbers during a math class. “People get in trouble for looking at their phones in school; I get in trouble for reading,” Paley cracked. The first chapter of Highland Park’s home game against Evanston last week was compelling for HP fans. The Giants owned a 10-0 lead after one quarter on Sept. 12, scoring on two of their first three possessions. Senior running back Kelshawn Shields ran for a three-yard touchdown before classmate Josh Pollack booted a 29-yard field goal. “We caught them by surprise,” Giants coach Hal Chiodo said. But Evanston secured a 20-10 advantage at the half and won by the same score, despite coughing up the ball twice in HP territory in a scoreless second half. Giants senior defensive end Bosco Israel recovered both fumbles.

“We have to learn from this,” said Paley, who caught a team-high four passes for 46 yards, broke up a Wildkits pass early in the first quarter, stopped a ball carrier for no gain and played tirelessly and relentlessly on special teams. “Then we’ll look at film and learn some more. Our focus now is on Waukegan (this week’s opponent), only Waukegan. We have to play harder and smarter.” The day Paley doesn’t play hard would be a first. A twoway player and special teamer every year since he started playing football in the fifth grade, he’s a throwback player and a coach’s delight. “Grant plays his heart out at every practice and in every game,” Chiodo said after his club slipped to 2-1. “He can do everything. His motor runs 100 mph all the time; it’s fun to watch. And he’s a great, great kid.” Paley had a sudden impact in the Central Suburban League crossover last week, rushing for six yards on the Giants’ first play and snaring a 15-yard pass from senior quarterback Tommy Sutker on the next play after forcing an Evanston punt with that pass break-up. HP junior linebacker Jason Shulruff also came up big early, recording two tackles for loss (minus four yards, minus one) on the Wildkits’ first two plays. “We started fast, started so well — something we had talked about making sure we did after our slow starts in our first two games,” Paley said. “Making a statement early, that was our goal.” Evanston (2-1) earned its first points on a 41-yard pass

play in the second quarter and later capitalized on a pair of turnovers by scoring two TDs in the final 8:05 of the frame. “Tough loss, very tough,” Chiodo said. “We had a lot of positives in that first quarter, and we had a bunch of guys who played their tails off. [Sutker] ran really hard, especially in the first half. “Evanston is a heck of a team, with a very good quarterback [Chris Little],” Chiodo noted. “We just could not make a play in the second half.” Sutker threw for 97 yards and paced the team in rushing with 53 yards on 14 carries. Highland Park hosts Waukegan at 7 p.m. Sept. 20, the Giants’ third of five consecutive homes games. Waukegan (2-1) routed Maine West 35-0 in Des Plaines on Sept. 12. Notable: Evanston outgained HP 222-213 in total yardage last week. … Shulruff also recovered a fumble in the loss last week. … Israel and junior defensive lineman Arrie Mitchell combined for a tackle-for-loss (10 yards) in the third quarter. … HP senior linebacker Jacob Wiczer pierced Evanston’s line to make a tackle-for-loss (three yards) in the second half. … Giants junior running back Cole Greenberg made the most of his two carries, gaining 24 yards; he second tote covered 23 yards. … The first half of the game was windy and mild, almost chilly. Not a wisp of wind — after a flash torrential downpour just as halftime started — was felt in the second half. … Paley, on Paley: “I’m not the most athletic football player, and I’m not the fastest, but I will never be outworked by anybody. Never.” Paley hasn’t decided whether he’ll play college football. ■

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

On cruise control

Driven Penn steering Ramblers’ highly efficient offense in right direction ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com

They piled out of Jack Penn’s car up to three days a week last summer, one after another after another. But Loyola Academy’s senior quarterback didn’t have a part-time job as a driver for a clown-car act at a circus. Penn drove his wide receivers and tight ends — sometimes five Ramblers at a time — to serious route workouts at either Loyola or another venue. “Jack would pick many of us up, sometimes as early as 9 a.m., and he made sure we were ready to go each day,” Loyola senior tight end Joe Dixon said. “It really helped, those times all of us got together to work on our team’s passing game.” It certainly showed on Sept. 14, when Loyola thumped visiting St. Ignatius 42-0 behind Penn’s 251 yards passing (18-for-30) and four touchdown tosses. Four Ramblers finished with at least two receptions, with Dixon (four catches, 84 yards), junior wideout/tight end Owen Buscaglia (5-68, TD) and senior wideout Joe Joyce (4-42 yards, two TDs) leading the way. Junior wideout Spencer Cecola (4-49) caught an 11-yard TD pass from Penn in Loyola’s 35-point second quarter. A fifth target, junior wideout/tight end Bobby Walker, caught an eight-yard pass. LA (3-0) overcame a handful of drops from its receivers in the first quarter. “I have complete faith in our receivers, all of them,” said Penn, a lefty who stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 180 pounds. “Drops … they’re going to happen in games. But I know they’ll all be determined to make a catch the next time.” Penn responded nicely after overthrowing one of his intended receivers in the second quarter. He lofted a well-placed, 28-yard flick near the middle of the field to Dixon two plays later and then connected with Joyce for a 22-yard TD. “Jack didn’t have a perfect game, but he played well enough and hit enough receivers,” said Ramblers coach John Holecek, a University of Illinois graduate who

attended the Illini’s 34-24 loss to No. 19 Washington at Soldier Field later in the day. While recounting his overthrow, Penn joked that he misfired because the receiver “was too open.” Dixon also looked back after the victory, reliving the end of a thrilling defeat of Mount Carmel in a sophomore game on Loyola’s homecoming weekend two years ago. Penn found wideout Anthony Walker for the gamewinning TD in the final minute. Dixon also caught his first prep pass from Penn in the game. “A five-yard out [pattern],” Dixon recalled. “Jack,” he added, “is leading us well this season. “He learned a lot from Peter [Pujals, Loyola’s QB in 2012], and he’s so good at settling us down if we get too high in games and getting us up if we’re feeling low.” A Glenview resident, Penn can also burn foes with his legs and ability to read defenses. Penn opened the scoring last weekend with a 27-yard TD run, highlighting his ground work (three rushes, a team-high 32 yards) against the Wolfpack (1-2). The southpaw is also adept at rolling right and throwing across his body — never an easy feat. “I’d been waiting for this, and I’m comfortable doing it,” Penn said of serving as Loyola’s starting QB a year after another Class 8A state semifinal appearance. “I was excited all summer, knowing I’d get the chance to take the reins of our offense.” His 22-yard TD strike was a thing of beauty. Penn delivered a tight spiral to an in-stride

Joyce, who came down with ball about two yards behind a hustling defensive back. It was a fastball, with a hint of finesse. Junior reserve running back John Saliba scored Loyola’s fourth TD in the second quarter on a threeyard burst at 1:26. Reserve running back Dara Laja, a sophomore, rushed a team-high nine times for 19 yards. Loyola played without its top three running backs, including senior feature back Julius Holley (injury). Another inactive was also hurt, while the third attended a funeral. Holecek expects all three to suit up this weekend. The Ramblers’ defense also produced a stellar effort, holding the visitors to a scant 78 total yards — only 12 via the air. Junior outside linebackers Tim Sullivan and Mark Nichol each had a sack. On three straight plays during St. Ignatius’ second possession, senior linebackers Andrew Cerney and Austin Lyons and senior nose guard Tommy Nickele each registered a tackle for loss. Nickele paced the hosts with four tackles (two for losses). “I expected our defense to play the way it did today,” Holecek said. “We’re not the biggest, and we’re not the fastest. But we are sound defensively.” Loyola hosts Providence Sept. 21 at 1:30 p.m. Providence’s Celtics (2-1) defeated De La Salle 55-20 on Sept. 13. LA downed Providence 41-21 in New Lenox in a Chicago Catholic (Blue) Conference clash last fall. Notable: Loyola junior cornerback Mark Dowdle picked off a pass at 10:13 of the second quarter, setting up the Ramblers’ second TD (Cecola’s 11-yard reception) against St. Ignatius. … Buscaglia appeared to have tipped a Penn pass to himself to get in a better position to make a 28-yard reception in the second quarter. The sequence had a circus element to it. … Ramblers junior kicker Mike Kurzydlowski was 6-for-6 in extra points. … LA junior backup quarterback DJ Melsheimer went 2-for-6 for 45 yards, hitting senior wideout Kevin McDonnell for a 24-yard completion and junior wideout Paddy Nicolau for a 21-yarder after a 42-0 lead triggered a running clock at 9:44 of the third quarter. … Loyola has outscored its first three opponents 117-28. ■

Safety dance: Lake Forest High School Benjamin Audley linebacker knifes through and tackles Mundelein punter Dillon O’Donoghue for a safety in the second quarter.

On the cutting edge

Audley turns in a sharp performance in LF’s win over Mundelein ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com A lot of guys do a lot of things for the Lake Forest High School football team. And then there’s Benjamin Audley. His number: #17. His unofficial hashtag: #Swissarmyknife. Audley said that he added “40 pounds” in the offseason and dared the LF coaching staff to play him anywhere, anytime. In the Scouts’ 40-6 win over visiting Mundelein on Sept. 12, Audley was a human audible. The rock-solid 220-pound senior lined up at left inside linebacker, right inside linebacker, right outside linebacker, left outside linebacker and tight end. He also played on special teams. “He does a little of everything. He’s like a chameleon,” said Lake Forest head coach Chuck Spagnoli. “And, by the way, he does a good job at all his positions.” He’s taken versatility to a new level. “One of my teammates, [center] Peter Durot calls me ‘Swiss Army knife,’ ” said Audley, with a large grin, following his incredibly productive performance against the Mustangs (1-2). Audley, who finished with seven tackles, reeled off one big play after another. His “blades of glory” included: • Four-yard quarterback sack • Tackle for a safety • Forced fumble • Two-yard tackle for loss

That’s what you call fun at the ‘ol ball park. “We’ve got a lot of athletes, a lot of guys who do a lot of things,” said Spagnoli. “And Ben is as valuable as anyone on the team. “He’s a coach’s dream kind of guy,” the coach added. Interestingly enough, Audley hasn’t made a start this fall (“Sorry to disappoint you,” he told a reporter). But he rotates in with four other bigger-name players — Joe Beible, Jack Kutschke, Jack Traynor and Trent Williams — and plays starter minutes. “I never thought I’d be playing five positions for this team,” Audley admitted. “But it’s my senior year. And I’m just trying to do my best for the team. I’m just putting out the effort.” He had a front-row seat for one of the game’s biggest plays. Midway through the second quarter, Beible serrated through the line and put a hit on Mundelein quarterback Gavin Graves. He didn’t get the sack, but he did force Graves’ pass to float softly into the waiting arms of Kutschke. And the 6-foot-5, 235-pound middle linebacker weaved his way into the end zone on a 67-yard return. “The best thing is that we got a pick six out of it,” said Beible. “Kutschke doesn’t get to touch the ball much. So everybody was pretty happy for him.” Running Back U: With junior Wes Janeck sidelined — he suffered an injury in preseason drills — the Scouts (3-0, 1-0) have put together an equal opportunity backfield. “Hub (Cirame) is our primary guy,” said Spagnoli. “But we’ve got six or seven guys who can carry the ball. I let my [offensive assistants] decide that. I am nothing more than an innocent bystander.” In the win over the Mustangs, four of the team’s defensive

stalwarts —Beible, Traynor, Williams and Geno Quaid — received handoffs from senior quarterback Regis Durbin. “When Wes (Janeck) went down, everyone has had to fill in,” said Beible “Hub does most of the work but we’re all getting chances to touch the ball.” Cirame finished the game with 92 yards on 15 carries with three touchdowns: 11, 3 and 10 yards. His finest play of the night came early in the second quarter, when he caught a perfect screen pass from Durbin, used a pancake block by lineman Thomas Kennedy and raced 27 yards for a score. So far this season, Cirame has eight TD runs and three TD catches. Getting physical: Even place-kicker Kyle Gattari did double duty against the Mustangs. Besides kicking — he connected on a 36-yard field goal and made five PATs — he took residence in the defensive backfield during the running-clock portion of the game. He was credited with one tackle. “He practices with us every day,” Spagnoli said. “He deserves some reps on the field.” Notable: The Scouts, who will host their homecoming game on Sept. 20 against Round Lake (7:30 p.m.), were led in tackles by Traynor (8). He also had a fumble recovery. The other defensive leaders were Jack Yale (quarterback sack, pass breakup), Matt Harmon (tackle for loss), Trevor Morcott (four tackles, two for losses), Charles Moss (4 tackles, interception) and Quaid (interception) … Durbin, who made his third start at quarterback after starring in the defensive backfield a year ago, continues to develop nicely. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 143 yards. His ace receiver was David Glynn, who made seven catches for 100 yards, including a 50-yarder early in the second quarter. ■

Wearing ‘Run for Boston’ T-shirts, runners from Mundelein, Lake Forest and Lake Zurich are off and running during Monday’s double dual on the three-mile course at the Lake Forest West Athletic Campus. The teams dedicated the meet to victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.

‘Run for Boston’ allows three cross country teams to go the extra mile ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Growing up in New England, Lake Forest High School girls cross country coach Steve Clegg developed a fondness for the Boston Marathon. The race — all 26.1 miles through the streets of Beantown — is close to his heart. In fact, he’s run in two of them. For Clegg and many Americans, 4.15.13 — the date of the Boston Marathon bombings which killed three and injured more than 200 people — are unforgettable numbers. “It’s hard for us here in Chicago to understand how important the Boston Marathon is to Boston,” said Clegg. “It’s run on Patriots’ Day, and the entire day is dedicated to the marathon.” Clegg and his fellow coaches at Lake Forest, including head boys coach Nathan Sweet, put together a clever plan and found a tangible way to assist victims and family members of the bombings. LF’s double dual with Lake Zurich and Mundelein on Sept. 16 turned into a charity event: Run for Boston. All three teams participated by wearing — and purchasing — dry-fit T-Shirts with that inscription, along with the date: 4.15.13. According to Clegg, the three schools combined to sell enough T-shirts to raise more than $1,500 for One Fund Boston. “When it (tragedy) happened last spring, I started thinking about what we could do. And I came up with this idea,” Clegg said. “I wanted to expand it and see if other teams would be interested. Lake Zurich and Mundelein were on board.” Lake Forest senior Claire Yandell, who has developed into the team’s No. 1 runner, definitely ran with purpose on Monday. She went out quickly and raced to a first-place finish (18:22.03), beating LZ’s Meaghan Gelinas by more than five seconds. Spa rked by Ya ndel l , the S couts n ipped LZ 27-29 and took care of Mundelein 19-40. Yandell now holds a 2-1 edge against Gelinas. At the Wauconda Invite on Sept. 14, Gelinas took first while

Yandell placed 13th. And, at the Lake County Meet on Sept. 3, Yandell came in third, while Gelinas finished fourth. Yandell, who used to compete in volleyball and soccer, is fully committed to running. She ran two half marathons in the summer and in January will take part in the Icebreaker Indoor Marathon at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee. “I’ve fallen in love with (distance) running,” said Yandell, who didn’t run cross country until her junior year. “It makes me happy. And it’s something that I want to do my whole life.” Running a Boston Marathon is in her long-range plans. “I hope to run it, when I’m in my 20s,” she said. Lake Forest’s No. 2 runner is sophomore Nora Burgener, who is in her first season as a cross country runner. “Right now, I’m learning (this sport) from everybody,” said Burgener, a former field hockey player who placed fourth (19:07.38) on Monday. “I started the season just winging it.” Burgener gave the Run for Boston a thumb’s up. “It was nice,” she said, “especially having all three teams running for the same cause,” Lake Forest, which placed fourth in the team standings at the Wauconda Invite, also was led on Monday by Emma Allen, who took fifth overall in 19:11. On the boys side, sophomore Mark Myers led the way for Lake Forest. He was fifth overall in 16:06.28 as the Scouts topped Mundelein 22-33 and fell to Lake Zurich 21-34. Myers, who placed 16th at the Wauconda Invite, came into this season on a mission. He logged more than 500 miles this summer. Teammates Liam Gayter and Matthew Mekaelian also entered the season with big plans. “Those guys ran close to 800 miles each this summer,” said Myers. “We all worked hard.” In Monday’s race, Gayter finished sixth overall (16:11.28) while Mekaelian came in seventh (16:13.56). And when it came to this charity event, Myers and his teammates were all in. “It was a cool idea,” he said. “It’s just great that three different schools can come together to raise money (for such a cause).” ■

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

And now, for something completely different Defense steps up big in New Trier’s win over Niles North New Trier High School’s Matt McCaffrey races past a Niles North defender for one of his three touchdowns.

■ by t.j. brown

sports@northshoreweekend.com This was different. This was better. Something good happened to New Trier High School’s defense in Week Three. And Matt Klem was in the middle of it. The 6-foot, 185-pound linebacker played a major role in the Trevians’ 52-0 rout over host Niles North on Sept. 12. After giving up 34 and 42 points to Schaumburg and Warren in the first two weeks of the season, New Trier’s ‘D’ played with more resolve and reversed a disturbing trend. “After last week, it felt good to get on that side of the scoreboard,” Klem said. “Our team finally came together. We stopped the run really well, stopped the pass really well. The scoreboard showed it.” Klem finished with four tackles, including one for loss, and came up with a big fumble recovery that set up the Trevians’ third touchdown of the game. Most important, Klem was part of the unit that limited Niles North to just 11 yards on the ground and 92 yards of total offense. “We did some good things tonight,” New Trier coach Dan Starkey said. “I thought Niles North had good speed on the perimeter, and I think we did a pretty good job with open-field tackling.” Klem’s speed was on display when a bad snap went over Niles North quarterback Tony Granato’s head on a third-and-2. With Klem blitzing, he was in the backfield quickly and beat Granato and Vikings running back Julian Garrett to the ball, returning it 18 yards to the Niles North 25. The defensive performance featured strong efforts from linemen Jack Johnson (7 solo tackles, 1 assist, 1.5 sacks and 1 tackle for loss) and Andrew Hauser (2 tackles, 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery); linebacker Will Francke (2 solo tackles, 1 assist, 1 sack); and defensive backs Danny Hines (4 solos, 1 assist, 1 forced fumble) and Ian Sinclair (3 tackles). It was an effort that impressed even the offense. “I think we saw a lot of the potential that we have as a team,” NT senior Matt McCaffrey said. “Our defensive front played

outstanding. Our DBs really locked down.” The effort came after a short but intense week of practice. “We just upped the tempo and tried to keep the intensity up and stay focused,” said Klem. Rare ‘hat trick’: McCaffrey put the “all” into all-purpose back into this game. He took part in the Trevians’ first three touchdowns: an 83-yard reception, a 38-yard touchdown pass and a nine-yard run. It’s a feat rare at any level of football. In the NFL, for example, the feat has been achieved only seven times since 1960, mostly recent by running back LaDainian Tomlinson in 2005. On the second play of the game, senior quarterback Frank Nicholas found McCaffery wide open on a fly pattern down the right sideline for an 83-yard touchdown pass. “We changed personnel, and (Niles North) just didn’t see me,” McCaffery said. “I was lined up on the right side and I was looking at Frank. I didn’t know if he saw it because he was just kind of playing it cool like he didn’t see it.” On the next New Trier possession, Nicholas separated his shoulder at the end of a 13-yard scramble and McCaffery took over behind center. He finished with an 8-for-9 passing day for 119 yards and one touchdown, the touchdown pass going to junior wide receiver Scott Hammes for 38 yards. Later in the first quarter, McCaffery scampered into the end zone from nine yards on a QB draw. It was a banner night for the Trevians’ offense, which piled up 411 yards and 52 points. “Credit goes to the offensive line,” McCaffery said, referring to the unit anchored by starting tackles Matt Kaskey (6-foot-5, 285 pounds) and John Polydoris (6-2, 230), guards Mike Frett (6-1, 220) and Danny Elfman (6-foot, 200) and center Nick Balch (5-10, 220). “We were up there at the line, and the defense was yelling, ‘Power, power, power,’ “ McCaffery said. “They knew it was coming and we didn’t care. We just ran it right down their throats.” Hammes rushed for 57 yards on 4 carries, including a 46-yard touchdown in the

third quarter, while Jordan Garrett (34 yards on 10 carries) and Kevin Mulhern (47 yards on 11 carries) were among the top ball carriers. Spencer Cotten (3 receptions,

48 yards), Mark Snyder (3-27) and Michael Miller (2-14) led New Trier in receiving. The Trevians (1-2) will host Deerfield (1-2) on Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m. ■

Fully engaged Talented Tamblyn likes Trevians' ‘team dynamic’

New Trier High School junior Taylor Tamblyn reaches for a wide shot during No. 1 singles action at the Deerfield Invite on Sept. 7.

■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com The kick serve in a doubles match is a net player’s best friend. New Trier High School sophomore Cammy Frei spun such a high-bouncing delivery in the Trevians’ tennis dual at Glenbrook North High School on Sept. 12. The serve ate up a Spartan, coming in high and tight. The returner somehow managed to get her racket on it in the No. 1 doubles match. The ball floated toward Frei’s partner, junior Taylor Tamblyn. Positioned inches from the net, Tamblyn stepped forward and bludgeoned the ball for a clean winner. The sequence lasted all of three seconds, maybe four. It was textbook — and frighteningly efficient. “It’s helpful,” Tamblyn said of Frei’s kicker after the pair skipped to a 6-1, 6-1 victory in NT’s 8-1 win. Tamblyn often returned the favor to Frei throughout the match, ripping groundstrokes that made life easy for Frei at the net. “We’re both go-getters,” said Frei. Both also played significant roles on last year’s state team, combining for eight wins as the Trevians placed third. Tamblyn went 4-2 in singles, while Frei teamed with Kirstie Woodbury (NTHS, ’13) to win four doubles matches. Three other members of that squad of six returned this fall, including No. 1 singles player Carol Finke, who reached the state quarterfinals in singles a year ago and later beat top-seeded Caroline Ryba of Glenbrook South in a consolation semifinal. Seniors Lily Schroeder and Alex Wolkoff are also back in the fold a year after winning four of six state doubles matches together. “It’s nice, having so many returning experienced players,” NT coach Jerry Morse-Karzen said. “It’s now a matter of, ‘Can we get better?’ The talent — it’s there; we’re good. But there are three or four other really good teams in the state. “We still have to show what we’re capable of doing on the court.”

NT went the baseball-spring-training route on Sept. 7, sending split squads to the Deerfield and Downers Grove South invites. Trevs took fourth at Deerfield, fifth at DGS. Other NT victors in the dual at Glenbrook North last week were sophomores Catherine MacKinnon (No. 2 singles) and Tess Lubin (No. 3) and freshman Michelle Buyer (No. 4), as well as Wolkoff/senior Abby McCulloch (No. 2 doubles), seniors Katie Huber/ Kelly Rissman (No. 3), seniors Brittany Schuldt/Liza Ross (No. 4) and seniors Amanda Newmark/Lily Stein (No. 5). Junior Laura Swenson lost to North’s Maddy Kahn at No. 1 singles. (Finke was on a college visit.) “I like our team dynamic,” Tamblyn said. “There’s no drama on this team.” But there’s plenty of variety coming off Tamblyn’s racket, Morse-Karzen noted. “She’s very good at mixing up the pace of her shots,” the coach said. “She drives it sometimes, hits moon balls other times. Taylor also hits drop shots well. “She’s also not afraid to talk,” Morse-Karzen added. “Taylor can be very entertaining while carrying on a conversation.” Frei, meanwhile, could tout what her father, Bob, and her uncle, Tom, did as standout netters at New Trier back in the previous century. Tom Frei captured two state doubles championships, first with Bob Buerger (1982) and then with Dave Gollob (’83). Bob Frei twice finished in the top five at state in singles (third in ’76, fifth in ’78) and practically matched those efforts in doubles (fourth in ’75, fifth in ’77). Notable: New Trier’s girls last won a state tennis title in 2004, edging runner-up Lake Forest by three points. Since then the program has finished fifth, fourth, sixth, eighth, fifth, third, second and third. “Taking third at state [last fall] was very, very good for us,” Morse-Karzen said. “We had a strong, consistent player in Carol Finke and several new players. Expectations for us were low. They’re not so low this year.” … Morse-Karzen, on Finke: “She is so fit, and she competes so well. Carol has always been a steady player. This year she has become more of an offensive player; she has added some finishing shots to her game.” ■

For Linda and Elliot a birthday abroad is the only way to go

My husband (Elliot) had a big birthday coming up, and he was not exactly psyched about it. He wanted to go to London and Paris — he had never been to either spot. We took a daytime flight, so we got to England and went to bed. We stayed at The Goring Hotel near Buckingham Palace. It’s the hotel Kate Middleton stayed in the night before she got married. They had a great breakfast with many choices. Then we headed to Buckingham Palace and saw the changing of the guard. We walked across St. James’s Park to the Churchill War Rooms. It was really interesting. We also went to the National Portrait Gallery. Any time you look at a book from the period of Henry VIII, you see a small portrait of Anne Boleyn — it’s there in actual size at the gallery. That night we went to Amaya, a great Indian restaurant. It was amazing. Then we saw a play called “Love Never Dies.”

“The next day we took the tube to the Tower of London… we took a tour that was so good — the crown jewels, the spot where Anne Boleyn was executed.”

Linda Goldman, the owner of Altogether Organized, and her husband Elliot enjoy a moment at their Highland Park home.

The next day we took the tube to the Tower of London. We saw the guards they call Beefeaters (like the gin). We took a tour that was so good — the crown jewels, the spot where Anne Boleyn was executed. We took the tube to Westminster Abbey and then to Harrod’s. We got Turkish Delight, a kind of candy. That night we went to dinner at a restaurant called Rules, the oldest in London. The table we were sitting at was on an episode later of “Downton Abbey.” Then we went to Paris. The highlights were going to Notre Dame, taking a Seine River cruise, and going to the Musee d’Orsay — so much famous art is there. We took the elevator up to the middle of the Eiffel Tower — then we walked down. It was way higher than we thought — it must have taken 40 minutes to get to the bottom. It was a wonderful trip. We have three daughters, and we hadn’t been away alone since they were little. We remembered how much fun it was to be together. It took all the pain out of the birthday. Linda and Elliot Goldman, as told to David Sweet ■
