A yawning fissure in pay — and in Pinterest play

ost understand salaries in the journalism world are paltry compared to the paychecks of doctors, lawyers and, on occasion, janitors. Since newspaper and magazine companies know that the lion’s share of writers and editors enjoy their jobs and consider their work engaging, executives rarely offer even the most basic perks. I once toiled for a company (that shall remain nameless) who offered employees $5 each Christmas toward the meat dish and beverage chosen for the holiday party. The firm generously picked up the tab for vegetables. But my jaw still dropped during the imbroglio regarding the ousted editor of The New York Times, Jill Abramson. I’m not talking about the impassioned debate about whether her pay should have equaled her male predecessor’s; it was the fact the top editor at arguably the country’s best newspaper was making around $500,000 a year. Obviously, that figure is a lot of money. But as the peak salary in a popular profession, especially when New York living expenses are exorbitant and where state and local taxes would chop at least 10 percent right off the bat? Not so much. The minimum salary for a rookie Major League Baseball player is about the same amount. And those 22-year-olds

The cover of a Lake Forest Country Day School curriculum guide from the 1970s.

Sally Bullard has taught at LFCDS for decades.

Deep roots

The 1964 football team produced a stellar season.

LFCDS to celebrate 125th anniversary with generations of families ■ by kevin beese

Maddie Dugan possesses Lake Forest Country Day School roots nearly as deep as the mighty oak tree that looms by the playground at the private school campus. Family members who attended Lake Forest Country Day School or its predecessors are able to easily fill a classroom. She counts 25 of them — including Albert Blake Dick III, former president of the duplicating-equipment giant A.B. Dick Co. — who have walked the halls of LFCDS. With her family legacy, her elementary education was a foregone conclusion. “We were not moving anywhere,” she says. “We were expected to stay in line and go to (LFCDS).” She fell in love with the institution, which encompasses 29 acres off of Green Bay Road and hosts 350 students. Her son Tad, Class of 1992, became the third generation of her family to attend. He followed in her footsteps (Class of 1965) and those of her mother, Helen Dick Bronson, a graduate of Alcott School, founded in 1888 and the forerunner of LFCDS. The Dugans will be among the families heading to the Lake Forest campus next weekend as the institution’s 125th anniversary is marked. On Friday, June 6, there will be a reception from 6- 9 p.m., where alumni can trade stories over cocktails and appetizers. On Saturday, June 7, the

school will conduct a family fun day from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. with musical performances, a barbecue and family activities from a bounce house to a zip line. As of late May, more than 400 individuals had signed up for the festivities. Bob Bullard, director of advancement, has spent more than four decades at the school. “It is a superb environment in which to teach,” says Bullard inside his office, while students play in the foreground of the mighty oak outside his window. “My time here at Country Day has been sensational. I feel you can truly make a difference in students’ lives here.” Bullard says he relishes the opportunities he has to teach history as well as help place students in quality secondary programs, from nearby Lake Forest Academy to Eastern preparatory schools. Being able to wear those dual hats (in former years, he also served as director of admissions and as the head basketball coach) gives him a great deal of satisfaction. Bullard and his wife, Sally, possess more than three quarters of a century of service at LFCDS. They have stayed at the school because they believe in its moral fortitude. “I really love the core values we have here,” Bullard says. Through his 42 years at the elementary school — which runs from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade — Bullard has encountered his share of colorful personalities, including legendary coach and athletic director Frank Ward, who worked at the school from 1959-82. Many Day School

students enjoyed the highlight of their athletic careers under his tutelage. Long-time teachers from Charlie Leake to Terry Haight have been fondly remembered by more than one generation of students. Phoebe Turner, president of the board of trustees of Ragdale, graduated from LFCDS in 1975 when the school still featured a ninth grade. The youngest of four Chandler siblings at the school, Turner said it always felt like home. “I loved going to school, and the Country Day School itself had a lot to with that,” Turner says. “It was where I wanted to be. “All the teachers were excellent. I felt well cared for. They were firm, smart and taught us a love of learning.” Turner also has long roots with the school. Her mother graduated from the institution when it was called the Bell School. Turner said the bond between the school’s alumni is special. “My oldest friends are the people I went to school with,” the Lake Bluff resident says. “When we get together, it’s like seeing family.” John Dixon, Class of 1981, has enjoyed sending his children to LFCDS, making the Dixons a third-generation family at the school. “It’s a testament to the school that families continue to support it generation after generation,” Dixon says. “It’s a community within our community.” ■

The Great Divide Wives, husbands use social media in much different ways A male friend recently remarked to Allen Albus, “Hey, I heard your wife’s cell phone got stuck in the toilet.” How did he know that? Facebook. Albus’s wife, Teri, recounted the story there — and some of Albus’s friends follow her. Allen possesses a Facebook account, but he rarely if ever looks at it. His wife’s on Twitter. He’s not. She does most of her social media on her smart phone, and while Allen owns a smart phone, he only uses it to conduct business, sending emails and text messages. This Lake Forest couple exemplifies a recent study showing that women use smart phones for so many more reasons than men do — and that women are more likely to use Facebook than men. A Pew Research Center study showed that 76 percent of women who use the Internet also use Facebook. The number drops to 66 percent for men. Five times more women than men use Pinterest, and 60 percent more women are engaged on Instagram. “That (Facebook) certainly applies to my family,” said Christine Goshgarian of Lake Forest. “My husband uses his smart phone for business — that’s about it.” Christine, on the other hand, uses Facebook to stay in touch with family and friends. “I have a daughter in college, and I love when she posts that she got a good grade on a test,” she noted. Christine also uses her smart phone for texting, Instagram and Twitter, making reservations for restaurants, getting boarding passes and finding her way around towns with a navigator app. “On Instagram, my friends and family know my sign-on name. I post pictures of my family or food or places where we’re at,” she said. Her husband, a private person, isn’t concerned about her social media usage. But she added, “I don’t do it that much where he would think I was crazy.”

Why the great divide between the ways women and men use social media? It may be linked to the “ Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” philosophy. In the book, author John Gary suggested women seek others out to discuss problems, while men distance themselves or retreat. A Facebook or Twitter account is a handy way to reach out to friends for advice or to commiserate. Teri Albus uses Facebook for personal and social reasons and to manage an education foundation for Lake Forest School District 67. She rarely goes anywhere without her smart phone. She posts pictures from her vacation and “silly things that my kids have done. My son has been the brunt of my social media,” she said. When he was 3, “he took the scissors to the design on our duvet cover bed. He was learning how to cut and he cut the pattern — and I took a picture of it and asked my Facebook friends to guess what it was.” Once Allen was at a conference and someone mentioned to him about the duvet cover. “He was dumfounded that somebody knew that,” Teri said. Allen said it can be a bit confusing when associates and friends know what’s been happening with his family. “It takes me a while to realize how they know that,” he said. Once when his wife smart phone ended up in the toilet, she posted pictures of the toilet on Facebook. “A friend mentioned that to me. I asked, ‘How did you know that?’ and she answered, ‘I have my ways.’” Allen recalled. As for 7-year-old son, J.P., Teri admits he’s said to her: “Mom, you need a break from your screen time.” Of course, there are exceptions to the male/female divide. Sonny Cohen of Highland Park is much more connected to his smart phone and social media than his wife Rena Cohen, who has a Facebook account but doesn’t use it, he said. “My smart phone is an extension of my body – so it’s a constant resource,” Sonny said. “It’s a finder of things that are near me, it always knows where I am, and if I’m looking for a restaurant or a gas station, it will find it for me. “It’s almost creepy. My phone tells me if I have a meeting,

based on the transportation routes, that it’s time to leave.” Sonny has also used social media as a tool to build awareness about an issue within a community. He created a Fort Sheridan Facebook page and Twitter account when he was concerned about the usage of property there by the Lake County Forest Preserve District . He wanted it to be restored to prairie, which it eventually was. On his personal site, Cohen posts, for example, a video of his dog recovering after a trip to the emergency room, a joke about the bad winter, a photo of a turkey fresh from the oven — and a picture of his wife. The caption read: Happy birthday, Rena. Love you to pieces. (No, I am not a Facebook friend with my wife. She doesn’t do social media. So she will never see this.) ■

Cancer survivors heading to salons, spas during special day ■ by angelika labno Though Highland Park resident Barbara Paget has volunteered her whole life, she never imagined she would create a national day of volunteering. Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day, to be celebrated on Tuesday, June 3, has grown from one spa in 2003 to approximately 1,000 today, spreading across all 50 states. Men, women and children who have battled cancer are pampered by volunteer salons, spas, barbershops and more. “I never thought about it going past the first spa,” the founder says, “but it was so well received that I thought we needed more places in the area to accommodate everyone.” Once Paget partnered with Great Clips, the national salon chain, and Pivot Point International Academy — one of the largest beauty school chains in the world — the event took off. A few years ago, the U.S. House of Representatives recognized the day, and U.S. Rep. Robert Dold gave a speech on the House floor. “This day is one of a kind, bringing together all cancer survivors,” said Dold. “It is an opportunity to provide relaxation and to connect survivors with one another and with caring volunteers.” Services are provided pro bono by participating beauticians.

“It’s a very rewarding feeling to accomplish something like this and to know that literally thousands of cancer survivors across the U.S. are celebrating the special day,” says Paget. Though not a cancer survivor, Paget created and ran a program for cancer survivors at Highland Park Hospital, where she had volunteered for years. She heard about a spa in California offering complimentary services to survivors and thought: Why not try it in Highland Park? “Cancer is expensive, so survivors can’t afford to go to fancy luncheon benefits and fundraisers,” Paget explains. “We’re asking a place of beauty to volunteer their services, and it’s a nice thing for them to do.” Jeri Barron of Highland Park has participated in Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day with various salons over the years. B Beautiful Salon & Spa in Highland Park, which she manages, is participating for its second year. Barron asks to call ahead for an appointment. “If there’s one little thing you can do to make that person stay a little brighter, that’s a nice thing to do,” says Barron, a breast cancer survivor. “We’d love to make them feel beautiful, inside and out. I think that we could all do something like that.” For a complete list of participating locations in Illinois, visit www.cancersurvivorbeautyandsupportday.com. ■

With stick or oar, Loyola senior finds success ■ by angelika labno

What the Chicago Blackhawks are to this decade is comparable to the Chicago Bulls’ success in the 1990s — at least that’s how Jacob Skarzynski sees it. “The players are so much fun to watch, in every sense of the word; they’re just phenomenal,” says the fellow hockey player from Loyola Academy. While the Blackhawks have captivated many fans with their Stanley Cup championships, the tradition of hockey isn’t just the latest craze for the high school senior, and it even goes beyond Loyola’s home rink: it is also a family tradition spanning across his five siblings, both male and female. From his start at six years old to the high school’s Loyola Gold — of which he was the alternate captain the last two years — the defenseman joins the legendary alumni club of Loyola players. “Whether in Boston or Pittsburgh, spending time with buddies on the road and playing hockey with a high level of competitiveness was certainly a privilege and an exciting experience,” says Skarzynski, reflecting on what he considers to be the most notable experience: participating in the Midwest Prep Hockey League. weekends. As each hockey season ended, Skarzynski transitioned to the crew team, where he has rowed on the first varsity boat for the past three years. One of his crew teammates recently asked why a hockey player would pick up a sport like rowing. The answer was simple: hockey was a family affair; rowing was exclusively his. “What drew me into the idea was hearing

the sport is physically intense and mentally exerting,” he said. “Of all the decisions I’ve made in high school, deciding to go out on the water was undoubtedly one of the best ones. It worked out brilliantly.” He found a fair amount of overlap between rowing and hockey, especially in the muscle groups they work out. Rowing strengthened him as a team player. As he explains it, each of the eight rowers on a boat are helpless as to what the other teammate is going to do, heightening the reliance on one another and oneself. Rowing with Division I college perspectives pushed him to improve his scores with every practice. The work ethic and mentality turned out to improve more than just his hockey. “In sports, you’re overcoming a wall that you may be facing at any time,” he said, “but we can move beyond the tangible world of sports and move towards the difficult, broader concept of living life, like what am I doing right now to better my community, to better those around me? As he prepares to attend the University of Chicago in the fall, drawn towards a math or physics path, Skarzynski is grateful for Loyola’s broad curriculum and administrative push to explore fine arts or performing arts. Through studio art, Skarzynski discovered the joys of sketching and painting, much like mathematician Leonardo Da Vinci. Considering this comparison, Skarzynski muses, “A blank sheet of paper is a clean slate, a chance to do something new. Students should consider these sorts of outlets for creativity and pathways for discovery and knowledge, because existence isn’t defined by math and science.” ■

16 | lifestyle & arts Life as superintendent is par for the course ■ by david sweet

Congratulations to the Class of 2014

If one interviews a chef, a kitchen would be a perfect setting. An artist would probably feel most comfortable talking in his or her studio. A golf superintendent? Jumping as a passenger into a green golf cart and touring his place of work is the most sensible way to go. “This a flat piece of proper ty, but doesn’t that look beautiful?” asks Dan Dinelli, cart pointed toward the sixth green at North Shore Country Club in Glenview, where the putting surface is elevated and framed by three meticulously raked sand traps. On a windy day in May, few golfers are out in the 55-degree weather (and fewer still would find the sixth hole enticing if they ended up in one of the bunkers). But Dan Dinelli plenty of small red trucks roll around the 170-acre course, as groundskeepers and greenskeepers prepare it for the short Chicago golf season — and especially for the Encompass Championship, a PGA event that will make its second trip to North Shore Country Club in June. No one in sports oversees a larger playing area than a golf superintendent. Club members rarely see them on the expanse — their work is often done away from drives and putts. In fact, their success is achieved by how little they’re thought of — when they come to mind, it’s usually because the fairways are splotchy or greens inconsistent. As a third-generation superintendent, Dinelli knows this better than most. His grandfather Frank started the tradition, overseeing the course at Northmoor Country Club in Highland Park. He was succeeded there by Dan’s uncle, Jerry Dinelli, who unveiled the first computerized controlled irrigation system in the land — back when a computer filled an entire golf shop. Dan’s father, Joe, started at North Shore Country Club in 1960 — the year Dan was born. Their twostory house sat just off the 15th hole. Joe served as superintendent for more than 30 years. “Basically, I’ve been here all of my life. It’s kind of frightening,” says Dinelli. “I have two daughters (Carrie and Jessie) trying to figure out what they want to do for careers. I never had that problem.” Dinelli worked at North Shore during high school and afterward. Once he attended Harper College, “I fell in love with school,” he says, and graduated with a horticulture degree. He followed up by taking agronomy and turf management at Michigan State. Though North Shore’s history is splendid — it has hosted a U.S. Open, among other top events — the course had been off the pro circuit for awhile until the Champions Tour arrived there last summer.

Dinelli knew the televised event would put the club on a big stage. “It was pretty intense and stressful leading up to it. You wonder about the what-ifs,” says Dinelli, who eventually contended with an onslaught of rain. “But it was fun during the event once you figured, ‘We’ve done the best we can.’ “ An unusually cold and lengthy winter just afflicted local courses. Clubs such as Bob O’ Link in Highland Park lost a number of greens — ones often ready for play in April were not opened until this month. Dinelli’s club fared much better, in part because his crew started taking turf samples in early February. Only one green — the 14th, which also suffered from sitting in the shade — needed work. The 53-year-old is proud of the course’s environmental stewardship. Driving down one fairway, Dinelli

illustration by barry blitt points to a nest. Two baby owls are up there now, he explains, while last year it housed a red-tail hawk — a type of bird Dinelli breeds in his spare time. “These birds are at the top of the food chain — if the environment was polluted, they wouldn’t be here thriving,” he says. “Those ponds there; my Dad built them. Rainbow trout are in there, and they don’t tolerate poor water.” In fact, the bushy-haired superintendent says the toughest challenge he faces is balancing the health of nature’s gifts and playability. “The goal is to use only just enough water, fertilizer and plant protectants to keep plants functioning — and yet offer a fast, firm and smooth playing surface,” says Dinelli, adding he hasn’t played golf beyond practicing putting for about four years. In his father’s day, it was tougher to keep the course in shape. Crew members turned on each sprinkler by hand at night. Today, a computer takes care of it — and jets of water are regulated down to the second. “I remember the guys knocking on my Dad’s door at 1 in the morning and yelling, ‘Joe! Joe! We’ve got a leak,” Dinelli recalls. “He’d have to go turn the valve off.” As Dinelli looks forward to the club’s second Encompass Championship June 16-22 — with players such as defending champion Craig Stadler and Lake Forest’s Chip Beck gearing up to capture the trophy — he says its importance extends beyond the event. “It’s all about raising money to donate to charities,” says Dinelli (Junior Achievement of Chicago and The First Tee of Greater Chicago are among the beneficiaries). “At the end of the day, the club is supporting several important efforts. That’s what it’s all about.” ■

Century-old non-profit is rooted in the community ■ by angelika labno

Family Service of Glencoe (FSG) is celebrating its centennial anniversary by returning to its roots. Beth Schencker, the “Glencoe Under the Stars” chair for the June 3 event — along with co-chairs Julie Finerty and Rachel Stein — took inspiration from a story told by lead therapist Al Ross during Schencker’s first FSG board meeting. One might believe that towering redwood trees have roots that are thick and deeply rooted to support their girth, he noted. In reality, the roots are not so deep — but they are wide and interconnected.

“People may perceive Glencoe to be idyllic, but we have our issues as well.” | Beth Schencker Schencker compared the concept to what FSG does for the community. “If one family in Glencoe is in need, then the rest of us at FSG can support them,” she said. “People may perceive Glencoe to be idyllic, but we have our issues as well.” FSG provides therapeutic services that promote the well-being of both the residents and workers of Glencoe, regardless of their ability to pay. Such services include counseling for all ages, crisis intervention, senior housing assistance and more. Parent consultations assist in resolving conflicts, be it a young mother questioning the developmental

stages of her child’s growth to the mom of a teenager worrying about potential drug use. In marking its 100th anniversary, the organization also launched a multi-phase research effort to better assess the community’s needs and opportunities. In the ensuing months, a survey will collect feedback. Using the information, FSG hopes to further develop programs and services to match those needs. Support for counseling and preventionoriented programs will come from a $25,000 grant from the North Shore Exchange. FSG was the only community-based recipient of the award last fall. In January, the organization opened doors to a second location, situated on Park Avenue above Glencoe Roast. Its main office has maintained a post in the Glencoe Village Hall since 1957. “There’s an increased demand for our work and services, so we’re excited and proud of our new space,” Executive Director Suzy Cowen said. The June 3 evening in a tent at Glencoe’s Kalt Park will be enhanced with farmhouse tables, an organic, family-style dinner, greenery and a large tent. Guests can bid on live and silent auctions and dance to the tunes of local band Sway Chicago. There will be a presentation of the history and evolution of the organization, which was done in collaboration with the Glencoe Historical Society. “What we found was that the mission and vision of the founders, almost word for word from these documents, are the same today,” said Schencker. “We want to ensure FSG’s presence in the community for years to come.” For more information, visit www.familyserviceofglencoe.org. ■

Executive chef stays on the cutting edge ■ by katie rose mceneely Jose Guerrero is the executive chef at Jölane’s Restaurant & Bar in Glenview. How did you start cooking? I had a good role model: chef John Des Rosiers who owns Inovasi [in Lake Bluff]. I worked for him when I was 17, and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. After seeing his passion for food, it inspired me to follow in his footsteps. Years cooking? Five years. What made you decide to become a professional chef? I went to Kendall College. Best recipe tweak? We have a seared plank salmon — there are many varieties of this, but the best one I’ve done has a quick marinade, which is where you let the fish sit in the marinate for 10 seconds and then cook it. It’s the most significant tweak I’ve done, but there are a whole bunch of them. Signature dish? You always want to go for the plank salmon or the Tuscan chicken — we’ve been making them for a while, and I think they’re really, really good dishes. Favorite cuisine to make? I love French cuisine. It’s what I was taught in school. I like to be innovative and make it contemporary, using Mexican flavors with French techniques. What do you like to eat at home? I do not cook a lot at home—I spend a lot

of time at the restaurant, so by the time I’m out I want to hang out and not do too much with food. I care, I still eat well, but I don’t have the energy to cook anymore when I get home. I love beef — it’s my favorite to cook. My favorite dish would have to be a New York strip steak seared with peppercorns and finished with a cognac peppercorn cream sauce. Pretty old school, but it’s good. Worthwhile gadget? Tongs and a towel. The tongs are your hands so you don’t get burned, and the towel lets you grab things — if you don’t have those, you cannot cook. Favorite cookbook? “On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals” is very, very valuable — it has the standard techniques that you use as a base. The sky’s the limit. It’s like the cooking bible. Favorite fruit? Oranges. Funniest or most memorable kitchen incident? I once got a huge fish — I think it was salmon — and we put a little fish inside of the big fish and used it to scare the manager. I don’t have a lot of funny stories, but the day I got called by the owner and asked if I would like to be the new executive chef was very memorable. Jolane’s Restaurant & Bar is located at 1100 Milwaukee Avenue in Glenview. For more information, visit jolanescafe. com or call 847-375-6986.

planking salmon, according to Jose Guerrero

Planking refers to the process of steam-cooking fish on cedar wood that has been soaked in liquid before putting the wood directly on the grill. The cedar infuses the fish with a delicate flavor, the fish is cooked very gently, and you still get the grill flavors — just not any grill marks. Soak cedar planks in wine, water, cider, or another flavorful liquid for one to two hours before you plan to cook. Heat the grill to about 350 degrees; place cedar planks directly on the grill in a single layer, leaving space between boards for air circulation. Place seasoned salmon filets skin-side down on planks and cook 12-15 minutes or until uniformly pink in the center. Transfer the planks to a cutting board, remove the skin, and serve. Planks can be re-used until they are charred or difficult to clean. sliced almonds; 1 tablespoon olive oil; and the juice of 2 limes lime. Season with salt to taste. Place small amount of the salad in the middle of the bowl. Spoon the soup around the salad.

Practicing techniques before entering operating room a boon at NorthShore ■ by joanna brown

When Jill Muldoon was in nursing school, she learned new techniques on live, injured patients whose recovery depended on her success. Looking back 25 years, she thinks the opportunity to have practiced procedures like cardiac catheters in a less stressful environment — away from patients — would have made a big difference in her training and early career. It’s for that reason that Muldoon is working today with the Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem to raise funds for the hospital’s Center for Simulation and Innovation. “We didn’t know about anything like this when I was in nursing school,” said the Northfield resident, who is co-chairing The Auxiliary of NorthShore’s 42nd annual Hospitals’ Gala with Northbrook’s Brenda Kuo. Based on the theme of “Simply Chicago,” the gala will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 14 at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers. The theme will be ensconced in the signature cocktails, latenight snacks, auction items and raffle prizes, along with three performances by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Guests may also dance to the live music of the TVK Orchestra. Also on site will be live demonstrations by the evening’s beneficiary, the NorthShore Center for Simulation and Innovation. The 13,000-square-foot

facility at NorthShore Evanston Hospital houses two complementary healthcare education, training and research programs: the Medical Simulation Program, in which instructors use images to recreate complex medical scenarios while observing students’ responses to their mannequin-patients; and the Surgical Simulation Program, where surgeons can practice new, sophisticated procedures in a lab before they enter the operating room. “Doctors come every year from across the country to train here and do this,” said Kuo. “Every year the Auxiliary Board gets to go to the lab — which was started in a space the size of a closet in the basement of Evanston Hospital — and we get to check it out. I always think ‘Wow, this is so cool that the staff gets to learn how to do things here before they do it on me.’ And that is something I feel passionately about.” Muldoon echoed her praise of the facility, calling special attention to the way the simulation lab serves all members of the medical team. “NorthShore is still a fairly small, intimate, community hospital. It’s a wonderful place and I can see good things going on there. That’s why I feel passionately about these causes and the people who serve in that capacity: the doctors and nurses and auxiliaries,” Muldoon said.

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

LOan FundamentaLs: What Is a mOrtGaGe? Mortgage is the term collectively used by most people when they refer to a loan used to buy real estate. This can be misleading, in that these securities are not always mortgages, but deeds of trust. A true mortgage is a written contract that specifies how the property will be used as a term of security for the loan. In these contracts, the primary mortgage lender will usually have a first lien on the property, giving the lender priority over all other lien holders, with the only exception being a tax lien. In a true mortgage contract, all due taxes must be paid prior to closing and the mortgager (borrower and buyer of real estate) is required to pay into an escrow account specifically earmarked for taxes and insurance, thereby protecting the interests of the primary lender. In these contracts, however, the title of the property is in the name of the mortgager, not the lender; should the mortgager default on the loan, the lender (mortgagee) is required to foreclose on the property in court. If the court approves the action, the property is sold to the highest bidder. A deed of trust differs from a mortgage in that it gives the title to a neutral third party (trustee) who is partial to neither the interests of the borrower nor the lender. In these contracts, the lender is the beneficiary; should the borrower (trustor) default on the loan, the lender then asks the trustee (neutral third party) to foreclose on the property. Following the procedure set forth in the deed of trust and adhering to state laws and regulations, the trustee then forecloses on the property. Lenders prefer deeds of trusts over true mortgages for the provision of security in the event of a defaulted loan due to their quicker and less costly method of foreclosure. The ease and security of deeds of trust has not weakened the state of mortgage contracts. Mortgages are still the prevalent security instrument in many states whose laws and regulations favor the specifications of mortgage contracts. These states are called lien theory states. States whose legal regulations favor deeds of trust are referred to as title theory states. Other states have adapted their legal structures to an intermediary approach, which grants security to both the borrower and the lender in cases of default. The intermediary approach makes provisions for deeds of trust, but also requires the lender to provide a notice of foreclosure to the borrower prior to the physical repossession, allowing the borrower the opportunity to rectify the default. Before entering into any kind of real estate contract, discuss with both your Realtor® and your lender whether you live in a lien or title theory state, or if your state takes an intermediary approach. Though one never enters into a contract with the goal to default on the loan, it is important in today’s economy to be informed and well-prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Extra special Shewchuck, Prince star as Ramblers become the new kings of the hill after a thrilling double overtime win Loyola goalie Trevor Prince makes a stop during state tournament action. The senior turned in an all-state performance for the champion Ramblers.

■ by kevin reiterman

we’ve won so many big games this year,” said Shewchuck. At first, the 6-foot-4 Prince, a left-hander, was not sure about this goalie thing. “I didn’t use to like it,” the Wilmette resident said. “I’d get angry when I was scored upon.” And now? “I wouldn’t change positions for the world,” Prince said. He was hardly a one-man showstopper. “I don’t want to sound arrogant or anything,” said Prince. “But I think we’ve got the best defense (in the state). Rarely, did I feel like I was the last line of defense.” Still, Prince was put on the spot. The pressure was on him until the final horn sounded. “A little tough on the nerves,” he said. “It’s a game that could’ve gone either way.”

sports@northshoreweekend.com There’s a mystique with the Fenwick Friars. It’s a deserving one. There are those distinctive long blackhooded Friar robes that they flaunt during pregame player introductions. Just that gives them an aura of mystery. “A little different,” said Loyola Academy goalie Trevor Prince. “We don’t do that.” And there’s the history. The Fenwick boys water polo team has been mystifyingly successful in state tournament play since 2002. On May 24 at Stevenson High School, the Friars entered the IHSA state championship game with The Incredible Win Streak — a 32-0 record in state tournament action with 10 titles — neatly intact. “Yes, they can be quite intimidating,” said Loyola senior Tom Baker. “But we didn’t back down.” The Ramblers had a little something extra for the team that never loses. Hear the roar? = In a title game that will be talked about for some time, Loyola outlasted the mighty Friars 11-10 in double overtime to claim its first water polo state championship. Off a perfect feed from Baker, junior Jack Schermerhorn — a non-starter — tossed in the game-winner with eight seconds left to play in the second overtime. “An unbelievable shot by Jack,” Baker said. “He’s a big kid with long arms. He caught the ball and shot it in.” “A different hero every game,” said LA head coach Dan Hengelmann, who guided the Ramblers to a state runner-up finish in 2012. But the real mystery of the water polo universe was the play of Loyola’s Cameron Shewchuck, who on Monday was named the state’s 2014 Player of the Year. Strong-armed and dangerous, the senior

star took out his six-shooter and tallied a double hat trick on the biggest stage of the season. Goal No. 6 — with 2:11 left in the second OT — was a spectacle. The Fordham University recruit blurred the vision of the Fenwick goalie, when he chucked in a nolook, backhand shot from 10 meters. “Just an amazing shot,” said Baker. “But he’s someone who can pull off a shot like that.” “That shot just happened to be the right thing to do at the right time,” said Shewchuck, who finished the season with a team-high 109 goals, including 13 in state-tournament action. “And I was able to execute it.” Hengelmann has seen it all before. “He made a shot like that against St. Ignatius (earlier in the season),” said the LA coach. “When he wants to do something like that, he does it.” Shewchuck was at the center of the action

throughout the contest. After tallying four goals in regulation, he skipped in a shot to give the Ramblers (31-5) a quick lead in the first overtime. He just never relented. Same for his teammates. LA’s other goals were scored by Matt Kearney (2), Jack Nickele and Baker. The assist leaders were Shewchuck (3), George Finn (2) and Nickele (2). And Prince? He was the life — and goal — saver. The senior, who was a field player in the 2012 state tournament and the program’s JV goalie last spring, was credited with 12 saves in the title game. He had 11 in LA’s 13-6 victory over Stevenson in the state semifinal. And he ended up with 21 stops in the team’s 15-9 quarterfinal win over Palatine 15-9 on May 22. “He (Prince) is one of the reasons why

Notable: Hengelmann was named the Illinois Coach of the Year on May 26. Three LA players were named first-team all-state: Finn, Prince and Shewchuck. … With the three state tournament wins, Hengelmann — a Loyola grad — now has a 157-74-2 coaching record at the school. … He loved his team’s chemistry. “This is a tight-knit group,” said Hengelmann. “The kids genuinely like each other.” … Having a balanced offensive attack also was a main feature with this LA squad. In the semifinal win over Stevenson, the Ramblers had six different players — Finn, Kearney, Shewchuck, Nickele, Ragen Murphy and Baker — score their first six goals. Shewchuck and Baker finished with three goals each. “We get everybody involved. You can’t lock in on just one or two guys,” said Hengelmann, following the win over Stevenson. “That’s the beauty of this team.” … In the win over Palatine, six different Ramblers found the net: Shewchuck (4), Murphy (4), Schermerhorn (3), Kearney (2), Andrew Hodur and Nickele. ■

The payoff

Highland Park’s Rogin reaps the benefits of hard work, qualifies to state meet ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Benjy Rogin still recalls that tap-on-theshoulder moment. The Highland Park High School track and field coach Kevin Caines was doing the tapping. “At practice, he pulled me to the side and said, ‘How about trying the hurdles?’ ” said Rogin. On May 22 at the Class 3A Loyola Academy, Rogin was a “tapestry” in motion. The HP senior glided over the 10 barriers of the 110-meter high hurdles in his best time ever: 14.89. The reward? A good story. By claiming runner-up honors to Deerfield’s Chris Douglas (14.85), Rogin earned a trip to this weekend’s state meet in Charleston. “When he first came to us, and me being the hurdles coach, I could clearly see that he had what we were looking for in a hurdler,” said Caines. “He had agility, range of motion, decent speed and toughness. “And I told him that he’d be running over things (hurdles), and that he couldn’t let that be a hang-up,” the coach added. A smart kid, who will compete in track and field at Emory University next year, the 6-foot-1 Rogin proved to be a quick study in all things upright and obstacle. When discussing hurdles, coach and athlete have no trouble communicating. “We have a different kind of dialogue,” said Caines. “When we talk or when I ask him how he feels, he gives me great feedback. “Benjy has really dedicated himself,” the coach added. “He goes to hurdle camps. He really works on it.” Rogin didn’t grow up a track junkie. In fact, he played volleyball his freshman year. Thus, he’s had some catching up to do. “I’ve put in a lot of work. A lot of offseason training,” said Rogin. “I’m real happy that it’s all paid off. That it all came together.” Despite being ranked third behind Douglas and Niles West’s Matt Henry, Rogin liked his chances to advance Downstate. “I went all out. Gave it all I had,” he said. “And I’m real happy to get my time under 15.0.” Losing to Douglas is no disgrace. The Deerfield junior is a talented up and comer who claimed the CSL North title on May 16. “Those two have been going at all year,”

said Caines. The rivalry has been friendly. Immediately after the race, the two hurdlers embraced. “We’ve formed a good friendship,” said Douglas. “For both of us to go Downstate was the plan.” Notable: Rogin, who just missed advancing in the 300 hurdles (4th, 40.32), will be making the trip to Eastern Illinois with two teammates. Senior Angel Estrada qualified by making the state cut in the 1600 meters (5th, 4:21.31). And junior Eddie Smoliak, styling it with his neon pick knee socks, cleared 14-4 (a personal best) to win the pole vault crown. Shealtial Israel placed fourth in the high jump (5-11). Loyola Academy With about 200 meters left, Christian Swenson found another gear. Shortly after getting passed by New

Trier’s Josh Rosenkranz, the Loyola runner shifted into overdrive. And, as it turned out, his 9:23.34 — a personal best — in the 3200-meter run was more than enough to advance him to this weekend’s state meet. Swenson had been slowed by a knee injury. “But it’s good now,” said the LA junior. Swenson is developing into a top-notch distance runner. He also qualified in the fall. “State cross country was insane,” he said. “State track probably will be the same.” Swenson will have company. Senior high jumper Austin Lyons, a standout football player for the Ramblers, was a state qualifier in the high jump (2nd, 6-3). Senior Teddy Brombach made the state cut in the 1600 (4th, 4:19.57). And the foursome of Josh Word, Nicholas Newell, Matthew Randolph and John Miller advanced in the 4x400 relay with a state cut time of 3:23.71 (3rd place).

Lake Forest They just keep getting faster. Connor Adams, Austin McIlvaine, Jack Blumeyer and Conner Hayes teamed up to win the 4x100 relay at the Palatine Sectional on May 22. And they broke their own school record in the process, finishing the race in 42.06. They are not LF’s only state qualifiers. Gavin Hoch, Matt Mekaelian and Mark Myers also will head to the Class 3A championships in Charleston this weekend. Hoch advanced in the 110 hurdles (2nd, 15.2) and 300 hurdles (2nd, 39.18). Mekaelian made the state cut in the 1600 (9th, 4:21.71), while Myers beat the state standard by almost five seconds (5th, 9:24.26) in the 3200 meters. Adams will do double duty at state. He claimed the sectional title in the long jump with a leap of 22-4. Lake Forest also broke a school record in the 4x200 relay (1:29.77) with Adams, McIlvaine, Blumeyer and sophomore Quinn Julian but just missed qualifying to state. ■

Razor-sharp Loyola relay takes second at state ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Couldn’t get much closer. Loyola Academy’s 4x800 relay, which featured sophomore Kathryn House, junior Caroline Zaworski and seniors Jackie McDonnell and Sarah Kelley, took second place at the IHSA Class 3A state girls track meet in Charleston on May 24. The Ramblers zipped through the eight laps in 9:08.77, which shattered the old school mark of 9:25.72. The difference between LA’s time and St. Charles East’s time? Razor thin. The Saints were only a tad faster: 9:08.03. LA’s time also will go down as the 10th fastest time in state history. “You don’t expect to go that fast,” said Loyola Academy coach ChrisJon Simon. “But this is a pretty dedicated

group of young ladies.” Kelley, who will run at Bowdoin College next year, put the finishing touches on the race. Her anchor split was 2:13. You might say that she had something to prove. And the same goes for House. That duo just missed qualifying to Saturday’s finals in the 1600 meters. House ran a 5:06.66 in Friday’s prelims (13th place), while Kelley was clocked in 5:06.78 (14th). The 12th and final spot was taken by St. Charles East’s Torree Scull in … 5:06.26. House had some misfortune. She was running second in her heat before being tripped from behind during the third lap. New Trier Mimi Smith ran her best time ever in the 3200 (10:41.17). But it wasn’t enough to bring home the gold from the Class

3A state meet. The junior standout placed third behind a pair of Glenbard West runners: Madeline Perez (10:34.60) and Lindsay Graham (10:40.73). Smith, who won the state cross country title in November, added a 12th-place finish in the 1600. “She had a great junior year,” said NT head coach Bob Spagnoli. Highland Park Nyjah Lane capped off her stellar career by earning the eighth-place medal in the 100 meters at the Class 3A state meet. Her time was 12.37. Lane, who ran a 12.23 in the prelims, has been one of the state’s top sprinters for past three years. She took fourth in last year’s championship meet in Charleston. Lane will run for Eastern Illinois University next year. ■

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Pushing the limits

Cotsirilos, fellow Trevians ready to go all out at state track meet ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Having a killer kick can get you into trouble. New Trier High School’s Peter Cotsirilos tried so hard to beat Evanston standout Carl Klamm in the 800 meters at last year’s CSL North track and field indoor championships that he wound up doing the unthinkable. “He passed out 10 meters from the finish line,” said New Trier distance coach David Wisner. Cotsirilos expended so much oxygen — and energy — that he wound up falling, hitting his head on the track and suffering a concussion. “I pushed myself more than I could handle (at the time),” Cotsirilos admitted. “My legs just stopped working and I collapsed right there.” Vintage, Peter Cotsirilos. “He’ll do everything he can to win,” said Wisner. “That’s just the way he races.” Which is exactly why Wisner is excited — and a little giddy — about New Trier’s chances in the 4x800 relay at this weekend’s Class 3A state meet in Charleston. He’s got the hammer in Cotsirilos, who will be sharing the baton with an all-star cast: senior Connor Trapp, sophomore Ted Oh and senior Chase Silverman. This foursome figures to be plenty fierce on the bright blue oval at Eastern Illinois University. “We’re putting no limits on ourselves,” said Cotsirilos. “We’re excited to be pushed by the big boys in state. “We’re going to go all out and see what comes of it,” he added. And the burden of being the anchor? Bring it on. “I’d be lying, if I said there was no pressure,” Cotsirilos said. “But when I’m in the moment, I block everything out.” According to Wisner, Cotsirilos is “quiet and fiery.” Which definitely has worked to his advantage. “I would definitely say that’s true. I’m not

very loud, and I keep more to myself,” he said. “But when it comes time for competition, I take no prisoners.” Cotsirilos and his teammates will go to the showcase meet with a full head-wind of steam. On May 22 at the Loyola Sectional, the NT quartet ran away from the competition and barreled through the eight laps in school-record time (7:43.65). It was a decisive 15-second victory.

Despite not being challenged, Cotsirilos ran the final two laps like it was an Olympic Trial. “He’s the anchor you want (for this race),” said Wisner. “He’s got the great kick.” His stubbornness and will to win was even more evident in the sectional 1600-meters run. His first-place time was a rush job: 4:17.20. Silverman’s second-place time was — wait for it — 4:17.27.

“He said ‘no’ to Chase,” said Wisner, noting that the two distance runners are the best of friends. “He wasn’t going to let Chase pass him.” That competitive spirit likely can be linked to his gene pool. His dad, Steve Cotsirilos, is a name you searched on Google. In 1971, he won an IHSA state title in the 880-yard run (1:53.6) for Oak Park-River Forest. And there were some early indicators that Peter Cotsirilos would be something special. In the eighth grade, while running for Wilmette Junior High, he ran a 4:47.32 in the slow heat of the 1600 meters (7th place) at the IESA state meet in East Peoria. “At the time, I was trying to put a good time out there,” said Cotsirilos. And since those middle school days, Cotsirilos has been in his share of championship track meets. As a sophomore, he ran the second leg of the 4x800 relay which qualified to state after breaking a school record at the sectional (7:44.6). Last spring, he made it to Charleston in the 1600 meters. So far, the state hardware has eluded him. But Cotsirilos is trying to capitalize on some good timing. His mind is clear and his legs are free of injury. “I’m feeling great right now,” he said. “I feel like I’m hitting my stride.” “Peter is in a zone,” said Wisner. “He’s leading our workouts. Setting the tempo.” His ultimate finish line is far in the future. Next fall, Cotsirilos will run and study engineering at California-Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.

Lake Forest: Jenny McKendry came up with a good time to notch her first career hat trick. The sophomore was one of the standouts in the team’s 6-0 victory over visiting Antioch in a Class 2A regional final on May 23 on the LF Varsity Field. “It’s just the best feeling,” said McKendry, who gave the Scouts (14-61) a 1-0 lead early in the first half. Her two second-half goals were insurance for LF, which was scheduled to play Prairie Ridge in a sectional semifinal at Grayslake North on May 28. The sectional title game is set for May 30 (6:30 p.m.). “We played well right from the start,” said LF coach Ty Stuckslager. “And we came out in the second half and didn’t give them a chance.” LF’s other goals were scored by Brooke Green, Sydney Johnston and Sheridan Weiss. Ginnie Revenaugh got the win in goal. “I just want us to get us to state,” said McKendry. “I want to do anything I can.”

Scrum-tastic

Harriers are true believers in the sport of rugby ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Flecks of blood from a bloody nose dotted parts of Jay Kim’s face. The member of the Lake Forest Harrier rugby club stood on a sideline, minutes removed from the end of a home game earlier this month. But Kim, a junior, wasn’t writhing in pain on the Deer Path Field. He smiled while explaining what thrills him about a niche sport that’s swelling in popularity. “Rugby lets me get my hands on the ball,” Kim said. “I enjoy that because I don’t get to do that in football at my school [as a nose tackle at Glenbrook North]. “I love rugby. I’ll play it in college, definitely.” Paul Passalino has played lacrosse, hockey, soccer and rugby. The Lake Forest High School junior and Harriers back/kicker now focuses on only soccer and rugby, an activity that has been described as “a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.” What always gives him a charge in rugby games is the sight of the sport’s distinctly egg-shaped ball in flight as it nears him. “That’s when I really feel the adrenaline,” said the 5-foot-10, 165-pounder, whose brother, Peter Passalino (LFHS, ’13), helped the Harriers capture the Tier 2 rugby state championship last year. “Seeing the ball come toward you and knowing you have the chance to grab it, run with it and bolt through people … that’s exciting.” The Harriers edged visiting Plainfield 36-34 on May 7 for their first win of the spring. The 2014 squad also fielded at least one player from Libertyville, Deerfield, Lakes and Carmel Catholic high schools and Loyola Academy. The two-time reigning Tier 2 state champs didn’t qualify for the postseason this spring; tremendous success in the past two seasons bumped them to Tier 1 — the state’s highest level. “Night and day,” Harriers senior standout Matt Harmon said of the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2. “The players are in better condition in Tier 1. The coaching is better and so are the techniques the players use.” Harmon, like Kim, loves getting his hands on the ball in rugby. The LFHS senior was a lineman for Scouts football teams and wrestled in the winters. “I’m not a fan of wearing pads … that’s also what I like so much about rugby,” said the 5-11, 220-pound Harmon, who first played rugby as a seventh-grader and intends to play club rugby and major in economics at the University of Kansas. “I like the freedom I feel when I’m running around without pads. It’s a fun sport to play, a fun sport to watch. It’s fun for everybody. “In football,” he added, “there are too many breaks [in action]. A ball carrier runs and gets tackled. Then there’s a break. In rugby, players never stop moving, never have to huddle up between plays.” The Harriers’ fifth-year coach, Lake Forest native John Walker, competed as a rugby player at Eastern Illinois University. His highly capable staff of assistants includes Lake Forest College rugby coach Ed Giangiorgi and New Zealand native and personal trainer Wes Parkes, who probably experienced his very first scrum in rugby shortly after uttering “kiwi” for the first time. Walker was thrilled when his Harriers had to play a challenging Tier 1 schedule this spring, even though most of his starters from the 2013 squad graduated last spring.

Lake Forest Harriers’ Matt Harmon runs for a touch against Plainfield Rugby during action this spring. photography

“I want our team to compete against the best teams in the state,” Walker said. “And we want to stay in Tier 1. It certainly will help us as we continue to grow.” Cynthia Passalino knew nothing about rugby when her son, Peter, went out for the Lake Forest Harrier rugby club in the spring of 2012. But she read all about it after a friend loaned her a rugby union book. Cynthia learned the sport’s terms, positions and rules and today could easily conduct a helpful seminar for parents of novice rugby players. Rugby’s penalty box is called the “sin bin.” Wondering what a “hospital pass” is? It’s any pass that is made with a high risk of injury to the receiving player. It’s called a hospital pass because of the “high chances of the receiver going to a hospital afterward,” according to Wikipedia’s glossary of rugby league terms. “My boys have told me that what they like most about rugby is the movement

involved in the sport and how continuous it is,” Cynthia Passalino said. Peter Passalino has continued to play rugby while attending Carleton (Minn.) College, where he also suits up as a forward for the school’s soccer program. The Carleton freshman is the youngest member of a Division II men’s rugby team, which isn’t affiliated with Carleton and recently battled a Kansas City crew in Iowa Falls. One of the KC players stands 6-7 and weighs 250 pounds, Cynthia Passalino noted. Peter Passalino is 5-8, 160. But that didn’t stop Passalino — a football player at LFHS his freshman and sophomore years — from valiantly taking on the four-limbed building more than once. He survived the clashes. He lived to see the next day — without having to be admitted to a hospital. LFHS senior and Harriers wing Niko Kyriacou stood on his team’s sideline, awaiting the nod to enter the game against

by joel lerner

Plainfield on May 7. As he spoke about the appealing aspects of a sport he’s played for three years, Harmon bulldozed his way to a try [rugby’s “touchdown,” worth five points]. “I like how the action is constant, like soccer,” Kyriacou said. “Plus it’s physical, like football. The best rugby teams tackle well, are proficient at passing the ball [backward] and don’t turn the ball over much.” Forward passes are not allowed in rugby. But eating food is encouraged — after each game … and with the opposing team. Pound a ball carrier one minute; inhale pound cake with him the next. There’s more to the sport than what goes on during games. “That’s one of the beauties of the rugby, the way both teams get together for a friendly meal after a tough game,” Walker said. “It’s a way of showing respect and demonstrating good sportsmanship. As soon as parents see that, they’re on board with rugby.” ■

Harry and Ingrid find everything up to date in Kansas City

Time for a renovation?

Harry Grace, president of the Winnetka Historical Society board, and his wife Ingrid Anderson are looking forward to the society’s annual gala — A Sheridan Road Soiree — on Saturday, June 7. photography by joel lerner

When Winnetka residents Harry Grace and Ingrid Anderson entered their second round of being emptynesters, visions of visiting relatives in Sweden or Italy entered their minds. But once they decided their energy level would not cooperate with a jaunt overseas, they instead decided on a drive — to Kansas City. Since Ingrid grew up in a suburb of Kansas City — and the couple met during their days at the University of Kansas — they visited family and college friends during the September trip. One evening, they enjoyed dinner at Lidia’s, an Italian restaurant. The owner, Lidia Bastianich, hosts an Emmy-nominated television series. Harry, an avid cyclist, took part in the Tour de BBQ, known as “Kansas City’s best-tasting cycling event.” Each rest stop on the 62-mile trek was sponsored by a barbeque restaurant, meaning plentiful samples were available for cyclists. The Tour de BBQ pace did not exactly mimic that of the Tour de France. “It’ a ride, not a race,” says Harry. “When you put a pulled pork sandwich in your belly, it’s really not racing.” The event started in the Power & Light district, a one-time industrial area that now features a hip look. Cyclists rode through flat terrain and rolling hills. “It was very cold and windy,” says Harry, who was joined by his “support team” — Ingrid — at one of the rest stops. “But you dress correctly, and you’re surrounded by other folks enjoying the day.” — David Sweet
