The burden of proof is on the Cubs COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES.

n ancient baseball aphorism — perhaps more honored in the breach than in the observance, but still an aphorism — maintains that the teams in first place on the Fourth of July will play in the World Series. If you wonder how that can be true when there are leaders in six different divisions, the maxim was created back when the winners of each league promptly advanced to the Fall Classic. The principal point is this: the Chicago Cubs will fail once again to win the World Series, extending their record to 0-106 since 1909. Even worse, we really didn’t even need to wait for that old Fourth of July adage to kick in to know it. Best-selling author Scott Turow realizes once again the Cubs’ season is — unlike his books — far from a thriller. In fact, the lifelong fan has had enough. “I’m on a boycott of the Cubs,” he said recently over a meal a few blocks from his home in Evanston. “I wish the Ricketts were spending money on players instead of signs. I encourage Cubs’ fans to demand better.” Turow recalled fond memories of going with his father to Wrigley Field — to watch the Bears. “We had season tickets,” noted the author of “Presumed Innocent” among other popular works.

“My father was a doctor. One of the nurses would make peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwiches for us to take to the game. They were fabulous.” By avoiding the Cubs’ three-hour games, Turow has plenty of time to read. He just finished “Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt (“it was really impressive”) and enjoys the books of Ian McEwan and Cormac McCarthy. Has the 65-year-old made the switch to e-reading? “I’m getting used to reading an iPad because I travel so much,” said Turow, who is also involved in a downtown law firm. “But I’m old enough to say I still prefer a physical book.” Speaking of which, the paperback version of “Identical” — another Turow thriller, this one based on identical twins — will be out this month. Read his thoughts in Sunday Breakfast. Enjoy the weekend.

Right On

Glenview native and natural southpaw Falbe thrilled to be connected to polo ■ by bill mclean

Samantha Falbe figured she would learn to ride horses and the fundamentals of polo at the same time when she signed up for lessons at the Naperville Polo Club nearly 13 years ago. But the Lake Bluff resident — a left-hander — found out in a hurry that she would have to undergo another daunting challenge: learn to swing a polo mallet right-handed. And only right-handed. “That’s a safety-related rule,” says Falbe, 38. “You don’t want mallets swinging from both sides of the horses during a match. Trained and conditioned polo ponies have to grow accustomed to things — many other things — in competitions, from seeing a ball move near their heads to running constantly next to other horses.” Polo has been Falbe’s full-fledged passion for more than a decade. The mother of two boys (Austin, 5, and Blake, 17 months) and co-owner (with husband Scott) of Intelligence Lighting Creations in Arlington Heights, Falbe has battled atop four-legged teammates at international tournaments in Argentina, Florida and Texas as a registered member of the Chicago International Polo Club. “It’s great exercise and a fantastic hobby,” says Falbe, who grew up in Glenview and graduated from Maine East High School in Park Ridge, before earning her bachelor of fine arts degree in lighting design from DePaul University. “You’re conditioning horses as athletes, while conditioning yourself, and it’s a never-ending learning process for me. “Another one of my early polo challenges was gaining confidence to be on a field with a bunch of experienced players I did not know.” She’ll spend significant chunks of her time this summer on the immaculately manicured fields at the Oak Brook Polo Club. The season starts with “Hat Day” on July 6 and concludes with “Argentina Day” on Sept. 14, when spectators will get to enjoy music and dance performances between the match’s six chukkers (polo periods, each lasting seven and a half minutes).

Most polo fields measure 300 yards long by 160 yards wide — or Soldier Field’s football field times three. Players typically mount at least six horses each match. Polo ponies perform best in shifts. “Horses are 75-80 percent of the game,” says the 5-foot-5 Falbe, who struck hard plastic balls in matches last summer at the Barrington Hills Polo Club. “If you have a good horse, the horse does a lot of the work for you; many of the horses have race-track backgrounds. The best horses know the game of polo better than humans do. Amazing … they’re amazing.” One of Falbe’s two-legged mentors is Claudio Gauna, a native of Argentina who works at the Stone Bank Polo Club in Oconomowoc, Wis. He worked with Falbe at the Naperville Polo Club when Falbe was a southpaw entering a world of righties. “Sammy did most of the work,” Gauna says. “Her ability to control a horse, that’s one of her strengths. She makes an effort to learn every detail about horses, about the game. Her thing is, ‘Practice, practice, practice.’ She’s a perfectionist. “Only a handful of people,” he adds, “can do what she can do, and that is adjust very well from horse to horse after differentiating each horse.” Polo played at the high-goal (elite) level is graceful, fast and peaceful, a sport Prince Charles played competitively until the early 1990s. William and Harry followed in their father’s equestrian boots. But it’s also a dangerous activity at times. The Prince of Wales suffered a broken arm while playing the “sport of kings” in 1990 and became unconscious for a spell after a fall in a charity polo match 11 years later. “Fear … I don’t experience that during matches because I always have so much fun playing polo,” Falbe says. “I’m all about the thrills, all about the challenges. I love hitting the ball to a teammate and being in the right place at the right time to receive the ball from a teammate. Moments like those on a field excite me. “I plan to participate in polo for as long as possible, maybe

all the way into my 70s and 80s.” People of all ages benefit from the presence of horses. Ask anyone affiliated with the Equestrian Connection in Lake Forest, an organization committed to helping people with special needs by connecting them with horses and one another. “It’s a wonderful group of people,” says Falbe, an Equestrian Connection volunteer who participated in the 5th Annual Villa Del Lago-Equestrian Connection Polo Cup at Crabtree Farm in Lake Bluff on June 21. ■

NEWS DIGEST REVIEW Deerfield

A Deerfield resident has written a book, based on the true story of a grandmother who has been helping raise her grandsons since birth. Known only as “Grammy Lucy,” the author laments about the boys being ripped out of her life after she raised them. Now she fills notebooks with letters written to her grandsons, hoping they will read them some day and know how much she loves and misses them. Printed by Tate Publishing, “Letters From Grammy” is available at bookstores, www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com.

Deerfield Fresh Thyme Farmer’s Market has opened. The store, located at 35 Waukegan Road (at Lake Cook Road) is the second Illinois store for the company. The Deerfield store opened June 25 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony including Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal and the Deerfield Chamber of Commerce. Fresh Thyme CEO Chris Sherrell bestowed $2,500 in donations to the Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods and the Deerfield Park Foundation. “Illinois is at the heart of our growth plan for continued expansion in the Midwest,” Sherrell said. “Deerfield is a perfect fit for Fresh Thyme as the community is active, well-educated and values fresh, healthy and natural foods.”

Two Glenbrook South High School seniors have won the national policy debate title. Chris Callahan and Brent Mitchell topped 202 other teams at the National Speech and Debate Association in Overland Park, Kan. Callahan and Mitchell were undefeated in the tournament, earning the policy debate title by defeating Roosevelt High School of Sioux Falls, S.D. in the final debate. The GBS students defended the negative and won the debate by an 11-2 decision. The duo also earned the Unger Cup, given annually to one policy team for its cumulative wins in four national tournaments. The GBS debate team is directed by Tara Tate and assisted by Jonathan Voss, Dylan Quigley and Richard Day. In other recognition, Tate received the Ted W. Belch Policy Coach of the Year award.

New tenants are moving to the Village Square Shopping Center. Party City has submitted permit drawings to occupy a large vacant space in the southern end of the shopping center. The store will be relocating from Highland Park and occupying more than 15,000 square feet of vacant space. In addition, Performance Bicycle, an independent cycling retailer, has relocated to the Village Square center to occupy the former Pacific Rim restaurant space at the south end of the plaza. The move allows the bike shop to increase the size of its retail space from just under 5,000 to more than 6,300 square feet. T J Maxx has said it will occupy much

of the former Sports Authority space in the northern building at Village Square. T J Maxx will be relocating from Deerbrook Mall.

The B’nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim Sisterhood will hold its annual Congregational Rummage Sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 4. Items not sold that day will be offered at half-price from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 5. BJBE is located at the rear of the office complex at 1201 Lake Cook Road, Deerfield. The congregation is east of Interstate 294 and west of Pfingsten. “We have been doing this for years,” congregation member Susi Goldstein said of the sale. “We have more than 1,000 families (in the congregation), so there are quite a lot of items.” The sale will feature a boutique, designer clothing, jewelry and accessories, adult and children’s clothing, shoes, purses, baby equipment, toys, artwork, household items, small furniture items and books.

Next year’s Encompass Championship golf tournament will be three week later than it has been previously. The 2015 Encompass will be held the week of July 6-12. For its first two years at North Shore Country Club, the Encompass has been played the third week of June, immediately following the U.S. Open. Next year, the U.S. Senior Open will occupy that week on the schedule, and the Encompass will move to early July. “We are excited to move the tournament a little deeper into the summer schedule,”

tournament director Mike Galeski said. “While we’ve enjoyed excellent fields the past two years, this date now gives us the opportunity to attract players who have enjoyed success in a few of the Champions Tour’s early majors — which has the potential to be a bonus for the fans in our area.” Tom Lehman will be the defending champion at the 2015 Encompass Championship after making a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to edge Kirk Triplett and Michael Allen by one stroke.

GLENVIEW

Course renovations at the Glenview Park Golf Club will begin next week. The course will close Monday (July 7), with construction starting immediately and aimed at enhancing the beauty of the golf course, as well as improve playability, turf conditions, and drainage. The Glenview Park District is partnering with the village to add storm water detention at the course to help mitigate flooding in the area. It is estimated that construction will take 14 weeks, leaving the fall and spring seasons for the course to grow in. Park District officials said their best estimate for course-readiness is mid-June (2015). Rick Jacobson, president of Jacobson Gold Design Inc., the architectural firm overseeing the work, is a Glenview native and grew up playing at the Glenview Park Golf Club.

NORTHBROOK

Families can get back to nature with a Northbrook Park District overnight camping adventure on Aug. 8 at Meadowhill Park. The experience includes a wilderness activity, hot dog dinner, creek exploration,

swimming and continental breakfast on Aug. 9. Participants should bring tents, sleeping bags and other camping gear. The district staff will handle food preparation and activities. “We want to get kids outdoors,” said Tiffany Greene, supervisor of leisure services with the Park District. “Our goal is to introduce the Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights to our community by offering this family camping adventure.” The Bill of Rights originated with Chicago Wilderness, a regional alliance that connects people and nature, and is part of the Leave No Child Inside initiative. For information on the overnight camping event, visit nbparks.org or call (847) 897-2995.

NORTHBROOK

Two artists with Northbrook connections will be among the individuals displaying work in Northbrook’s Art in the Park on July 12-13. Dennis Downes, a Glenbrook North High School alumnus, and Ken Call, an established artist, will be among the individuals showing their artwork. Downes’ work was recently featured at the Thompson Center in Chicago. The main body of his work has been inspired by research trips to ancient sites and natural wonders across the Great Lakes region and beyond. Call’s original paintings combine realism and detail with a flair of creative style. Born and raised in Rochelle, Ill., Call went on to graduate from the American Academy of Art. He has worked as a freelance artist on the national scene for many years. He spent 1993 and 1994 studying and painting in Paris. ■

David and Diane find fun close to home

When it comes to getting away, Diane and David Golin of Highland Park prefer to stay local. A favorite place to start is breakfast at the Chicago Botanic Garden, followed by a stroll around its lush landscapes. A visit to Ryerson Woods — a place they’ve taken their three daughters since they were tiny — always bring smiles. Then they’ll head to the city and catch a play at either the Goodman Theatre or the Steppenwolf Theatre. Recently, for dinner, they stopped at the French restaurant Nellcote on West Randolph Street, a hot spot for Chicago dining. “We sat outside on one of the first evenings it was nice out,” Diane says. “You feel like you’re on vacation.”

“We sat outside on one of the first evenings it was nice out. You feel like you’re on vacation.” On Sunday, they enjoy going to brunch downtown with two of their daughters, Dana and Alison, who both live in Chicago. Occasionally, their other daughter Emily — who will be a senior at the University of Illinois this fall — will drive up as well.

Let traditional European favorite summer dishes and serendipitous wine matches elevate the level of casual grazing this Independence Day. Here are delicious ideas for enjoying often-overlooked wines and sumptuous dishes.

SATURDAY DINNER

2011 Arrowood Viognier Saralee’s Vineyard, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, California ($29)

The prima ballerina of American whites, this gem dazzles the nose with bright fragrances of fruit blossoms and stone fruits (nectarine, plum, white peach) while the silky texture pampers the palate. Still obscure in the fine wine scenes, it has become the whispering tip of top sommeliers at elite restaurants because of its talent to elegantly cleanse the palate with dishes like Mediterranean seafood salad, ceviche, grilled shellfish, vichyssoise or poached fish.

A Hot Night in Highland Park

photography by larry miller The Jewish Council for Youth Services (JCYS) hosted its annual gala on the Ravinia grounds in May, raising funds for its scholarship fund which supports children and families with financial assistance to attend one of the organization’s early childhood educations centers or summer camp programs. More than 300 supporters were on hand for the evening, which included cocktail hour, formal dinner, live music, and silent and live auction. Highland Park City Councilman Alyssa Knobel was presented with a JCYS Director for Life award, and Mayor Nancy Rodkin Rotering served as honorary chair of the event. Jason Ross and Jennifer Finger served as co-chairs of the evening; John A. Thomason serves as executive director, and Jeffrey Friedman sits as board president.

MIDWEEK MEAL

BEST VALUE 2011 Pepi Chenin Blanc Viognier, California ($11) Among wine value cognoscenti, this little gem belong to the nono-no category: no fancy occasion, no fancy foods, no fancy clothes needed. This delicious blend of the Granny Smith apple flavor abounding Chenin Blanc and the sublimely floral and nectarine flirting Viognier ( “ Vee - o -Neeay ” ) g rapes remains one of the best-kept secrets in the gourmet world. Offdry (hint: sweet) and mouth filling in texture, it pairs wonderfully with Wienerwald roast chicken or mild brats and German potato salad, grilled beets, bacon sauteed cabbage and stuffed peppers.

2009 Field Stone Merlot, Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California ($20)

Another overlooked top value find, this sumptuous and mellow red comes from a boutique estate that has the same type of clay soil that produces Chateau Petrus, the prestigious Merlot-based wine from Bordeaux that costs over $2,000 per bottle. Far less tannic (astringent sensation on the tongue) than the boisterous Cabernet Sauvignon, most inexpensive Merlots lack opulence and vibrancy on the palate. The Field Stone Merlot vineyards are decades old (long roots provide the nutrients required for richly expressive grapes) and organically grown. The resulting plush black fruit expressions excel in enhancing the flavors of grilled meats, vegetables like eggplant or zucchini, as well as gazpacho or hearty pizzas. Please let the wine aerate for five minutes in the wine glass before savoring.

Event has pets’ best interest at heart ■ by angelika labno

Four-legged friends will stroll through Glenview’s Blue Star Memorial Forest Preserve in Heartland Animal Shelter’s Annual Walk of Love on July 12. The goal of the journey? Helping dogs and cats who stay at Heartland find a new home. “It’s nice to see how many pets do find a home,” said volunteer and former board member Lou Basten of Northbrook. “It’s especially nice when the dogs remember you from volunteering.” Basten — who started volunteering in 2008 — adopted Freddy, a German shepherd mix, as a puppy five years ago and is currently fostering an older cat from the shelter. As a dog and cat volunteer, she helps keep kennels and cat rooms clean, feed the animals and socialize with them.

“Heartland feels like a warm family; it’s like raising dogs in your own Heartland Shelter volunteer Laurie Tomaszkiewicz with Peenut joins volunteers Jared Kneebone with Ethan and Milosz home.” Wesolowski with Prince Charming (top photo). photography by joel lerner Christine Cotromanes “The reason I started was to help the animals, but once you’re there you also realize you’re helping people—people who unfortunately have to give up their pets,” Basten said. “It helps them to know that the pet will be taken care of until it finds another home.” Heartland was started by Dr. Herbert Preiser, a veterinarian, in 2002 as a no-kill animal shelter that provides medical care, socialization, training and a safe environment for hundreds of dogs and cats each year. It also educates the public on spaying and neutering pets in hopes of decreasing pet overpopulation. In addition to ensuring that the pets are properly cared for, Heartland carefully sets up adoptions so that the right animal is going home to the right family. “They are very committed to their mission of adopting animals and have their priorities straight,” said current Board President John Andrews, who started volunteering

with his wife Jeannette in 2006 and has adopted three dogs through Heartland. “We worked at a couple other animal welfare organizations and found Heartland to be the best

fit for us.” Northbrook resident Christine Cotromanes turned to volunteering to help heal after a divorce in 2010 and says it has been a life-changing experience. “Heartland feels like a warm family; it’s like raising dogs in your own home,” she said. Cotromanes is part of the “buddy program” for dogs that are long term or need extra training. One of her “buddies,” Squiggles, is a black pug mix who is the longest resident of Heartland at three years. Like Andrews, she notes that Heartland is not in the business to move pets fast, but rather wait until it’s the right fit. One of her biggest joys was seeing another long-termer, a pit bull named Hilton, with his new family at last summer’s annual walk. “Once he was adopted, it was like something was thrown out into the universe and a few other long-timers were adopted,” Cotromanes said. “It goes to show that there is somebody out there for the dogs, even if it takes years.” The Walk of Love event begins with the stroll at 9:30 a.m., followed by breakfast, puppy pools, prizes and shopping at vendor stalls. Timeless activities such as souvenir photos, face painting and a visit to Psychic Connections will also be offered. The summer fundraiser (its goal is $25,000) is the biggest alumni reunion for pets that have been adopted through the Northbrook-based animal shelter, which is about 700 pets a year. Adult registration is $25 in advance, $30 at the door (children and family fees vary); however, those who raise $100 in donations will receive a free adult admission to the event. Participants can create their own donation webpage by joining Team Heartland Furry Love 2014. The top five people raising donations will be awarded a prize, and everyone raising donations will be recognized on Heartland’s website.

Raising oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glass to daring modern architecture

7/05 – 7/06/14

home & design

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

■ by thomas connors Daring and delightful to some, outrageous and impractical to others, the glass house has been long been a hallmark of modern architecture. The Farnsworth House, in Plano, Ill. — designed by Mies van der Rohe — and architect Philip Johnson’s own retreat in Connecticut are two of the best known. Supreme manifestations of their creators’ abilities to distill architecture to its essence, these structures exist on a rarified plane, one where the aesthetic trumps the everyday. They are also small-scale affairs, executed for single individuals. North Shore architect Thomas Roszak — whose portfolio includes the Clark Family Welcome Gallery at the Adler Planetarium and who has been named one of the world’s top architects by Architectural Digest — had always wanted to build himself a glass house. So when he and his wife found the perfect spot in Northfield, he wasted no time in getting to work, designing the home in four months and getting it built in nine. (He recently helped build a glass house for next-door neighbors as well.) A composition of modules linked by interstitial spaces, his boldly transparent house combines a sharp-edged structural rigor with a deep appreciation for the way the places we inhabit can enrich our lives. “Many modern houses,” suggests the founder of Thomas Roszak Architecture, “are built for some rich single guy with an art collection. This is not about that. It’s about how a family lives today. It’s about flexibility. “One of the rooms was a nursery. Now it’s a playroom. Everything was thought through, five steps ahead, like playing chess.” As a constellation of cubes, essentially, the Roszak residence might sound a tad severe. But with the ever-present views of the landscape through the home’s transparent skin and the architect’s tweaking of the component volumes, the house never feels constrained by its carefully worked-out plan. The living room ceiling, for example, is 20 feet high, and the voluminous space is punctuated by the plane formed by the open, second-story library floating overhead. The modular composition of the home (each room is typically 16 North x 16 feet, with livingFlooding room and garage 1running Ravinia Shore 5-2 the Mahoney ad_Layout 4/23/14 32 x 24 feet) expresses a focus on order — but the

organization of the interior spaces is anything but rigid. The first floor, with its living room, kitchen, and playroom, is essentially one flowing space. “This area became a kitchen just because I placed the cabinets there,” says the 40-something Chicago native. “There’s no wall saying this is the kitchen. I could have put the cabinets somewhere else. That’s the whole idea.” In fact, the taller element, a freestanding partition that houses the refrigerator and ovens, and the breakfast bar, were intended to be in opposite places. “I wanted the adjacent dining room to be more open,” relates Roszak. “But my wife, Justyna, wanted to flip them around and that was the better decision. It gives the dining room a little more formality.” Building a house of such forceful geometry, Roszak — who earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago — determined that the detailing of the home should offer a counterpoint to the glass and concrete that defines it. Two large elements, one housing a powder room, the other a closet, are painted a vibrant red. Steel beams get the color treatment, too, covered in an engaging orange-yellow hue. The floors are Brazilian cherry bordered with a warmly toned French limestone laid above the radiant heating pipes. “If it was done more hardcore and minimal, all grey and white and black, I think that would be a mistake,” says Roszak. “Again, that might be appropriate for a bachelor — ‘Hey, a black sofa is cool’ — but I wanted something more appropriate to family living. When we have people over for dinner, they’re always surprised how comfortable they feel.” Roszak’s attention to the interiors is matched by his consideration of the outside. He landscaped the property himself, bringing in 40 white pines to join the existing oak and honey locust trees in the backyard. “Everything inside is very structured, and outside it’s the opposite,” he observes. “When I was putting a tree in, if I saw that it was on line with a window mullion, I’d move it so that its placement seemed more natural. Because this house is all about transparency, the outside becomes part of the inside. The furniture and the flowers and trees outside are on an equal basis, so it’s as important where you place tree 8:35 AMthat Page 1 as where you place the sofa.” As for that see-through skin, it’s fashioned for optimum

functionality. A proper curtain wall, as tight as that of the high-rise Roszak works in downtown Chicago, the home’s envelope is efficient in terms of heat loss and solar gain. Argon gas between two layers of glass acts as insulation, and a low-emissivity coating on the window wall blocks heat. In addition, between the concrete, which radiates the heat of the day’s sun, and the radiant heat of the floors, Roszak rarely needs to kick on the furnace. Blinds throughout the house and windows placed strategically to take advantage of cross ventilation minimize the need for air conditioning on all but the hottest days. “You know,” muses Roszak, “you can’t throw everything you know or know how to do into a building. It’s like a rockand-roll band’s first album. It’s usually good because they’ve been thinking about it since they were 12. It’s the same with a building. You keep it simple, with one underlying theme or idea that you reinforce. You don’t make it a mishmash of ideas. You set up rules for yourself and you follow them through. And that keeps you sane.” ■

Finding her Field of Dreams

Deerfield’s Guagliardo set to test her skills at the University of Iowa ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Little did Deerfield High School graduate JoElla Guagliardo realize that all the running around she did on the soccer field — starting when she was 4-years-old — would one day help her secure a field hockey scholarship to the University of Iowa. Guagliardo was introduced to field hockey in the eighth grade, but didn’t start playing the sport competitively until she arrived at Deerfield as a freshman. “I attribute soccer to my ability to pick up field hockey quickly,” she said. “The movement and the way you have to look at the field are similar. (So) are the different cuts and the ways you analyze the field. It also takes a lot of discipline.” Of course, she didn’t make this connection, when she was in eighth grade. “I liked being able to run around with a stick,” she said with a smile. “The game seemed interesting and enjoyable.” Guagliardo was pulled up to the varsity near the end of her freshman season and never looked back. In addition, she played four years of varsity soccer.

As a senior in field hockey, Guagliardo earned all-state and all-academic team honors. What stood out the most to her teammates was her ability to beat people to the ball. “She’s faster than everyone on the field, and she always gives 100 percent,” said senior Ariana Michel, who will play for Tufts University next year. “We all learned from watching her play and could ask her for help in learning a new skill. She was a captain, and she cared about every girl on the team.” Guagliardo said the major catalyst in her development as a field hockey player was joining the Windy City Field Hockey club. Co-owner Katie Beach was an All-American at the University of Maryland and a former captain of the United States Field Hockey Team. “That was a key element in me becoming a successful hockey player,” Guagliardo said. “Katie is a fantastic coach, and I was able to play with Division I (recruits) who were passionate about the sport.” Beach said from Day One she was struck by how much Guagliardo wanted to compete and improve. “I think the most impressive thing about her is her determination on the field,” Beach said. “She plays in the midfield and excels at attacking and defending. The second she

steps on the field, she’s (moving). She never stands around. We can always rely on her to be around the ball and make something happen. That’s one of the reasons she’ll be playing at Iowa, a top-10 team.” Another reason is her athleticism. “She’s just a gifted, phenomenal athlete,” Beach said. “She’s worked hard and has elevated her skills tremendously the last two years. She still has a lot of room to grow.” Guagliardo’s time as a competitive soccer player came to a bittersweet end this year. She missed most of the season after suffering multiple concussions. Even though she couldn’t play, she remained a fixture at practices and was one of the team’s most vocal supporters in matches from the bench. “It was frustrating, but I just tried to support the girls and do as much cheering as I could,” she said. Guagliardo is focused this summer on preparing for college field hockey. She said that she expects the game will continue to grow at Deerfield and become more popular at the high school level with each season. “It’s an intellectual game, and when you get to a high level there are so many elements to it,” she said. “It’s an amazing sport to play and watch.” ■

Highly successful Olivet Nazarene coach likes Kiefer’s ‘swing-and-miss’ stuff ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Loyola Academy junior catcher Molly Laughlin didn’t need a radar gun this season to realize that senior pitcher Jamie Kiefer throws hard. “It hurts for sure when it hits my hand,” said Laughlin. Laughlin took a lot of punishment this season as Kiefer struck out 135 batters. The Ramblers were near the .500 mark for most of the season, and Kiefer logged the vast majority of the innings. Kiefer frustrated batters with a steady mixture of fastballs, risers, curves, screwballs and change-ups. “Our record didn’t show it all the time, but we developed and improved a lot over the course of the season,” Kiefer said. Kiefer, a Jefferson Park resident who anchored the Ramblers’ rotation for three seasons, will play softball next year for NAIA powerhouse Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais. Ritchie Richardson, the head coach, is the second-winningest active coach in NAIA. The Tigers have captured national titles in softball five times since 1995. This past spring, Olivet Nazarene put together a 43-game win string and finished with 49-5-1 record. The Tigers were eliminated by the College of Idaho in the NAIA World Series in Columbus, Georgia. Two of the team’s top hurlers — Virginia McAndrews (13-1, 1.05 ERA) and Caitlin Santefort (21-1, 1.06 ERA) — were seniors this past spring. Next year’s ace figures to be senior-to-be Lindsay Stotler (15-1, 2.10 ERA). Kiefer, who will play this summer for the Bartlett Silver Hawks travel team, plans to study nursing at Olivet-Nazarene. “I wasn’t looking to play at a huge college,” Kiefer said. “I really wanted something somewhat close to home. I met coach Richardson and was (impressed). He works his players hard, and they (compete) for national titles every single year. Richardson has enjoyed watching Kiefer become a more complete pitcher over the last several years. He’s particularly impressed with her ability to consistently miss bats. “We see a swing-and-miss kind of pitcher,” he said. “She has the kind of stuff that can be dominating; she could be a kid who can look to strike out eight to 12 batters skin tightening per game. She has good movement on her rise ball, and she’s gotten people out with wrinkle reduction that pitch every time we’ve seen her. Big strikeout numbers don’t always equate sun damage reversal to college, but we think she has the kind of stuff that translates at the next level.” skin texture rejuvenation Laughlin said Kiefer means business every time she steps on the mound. “Sometimes I’m even intimidated catching the ball for her,” Laughlin said. “She’s got this look and an overall intimidation factor.” Over the last year, Kiefer has done a better job of maintaining her intensity while keeping a level head on the mound. “As a junior I would get really upset over small things,” she said. “I realized that as Loyola Academy’s Jamie Kiefer, seen here in a high school game this spring, will pitch for NAIA a senior I have to be a leader, and I didn’t want my teammates seeing me have a fit on power Olivet Nazarene. photography by george pfoertner the mound.

sunday breakfast | 23 ■ by david sweet Imagine being a best-selling novelist for more than a quarter of a century. Then, at age 65, you’re handed one of your earliest undertakings as a writer — that scourge of high-school seniors, the college essay. How did Scott Turow react? “It was the first time I thought I actually deserved to have gotten in,” recalls Turow, who received the long-ago paper before his last meeting after 12 years on the board of Amherst College in Massachusetts. That essay about a New Trier High School teacher who had been hard on him proved successful — as has the Evanston resident’s lengthy career as an author of legal thrillers. On July 15, the paperback version of “Identical” — yet another New York Times best-seller in hardcover — will be released by Grand Central Publishing. Over a tofu scramble with a side of apricot cheese flakey at The Lucky Platter in Evanston, as a string of Beatles’ songs plays above the restaurant’s black-cushioned booths, Turrow shares his inspiration for his latest creation about identical twins.

“Being a best-selling novelist was not my expectation — and truthfully, not even my goal.” | Scott Turow “My sister was a twin, and the other died in childbirth. It was a puzzling event when the other baby didn’t come home,” says Turow, age 3 at the time. “I think because of the way the event loomed over my childhood with a mythic weight, I was fascinated with identical twins.” Turow has been pleased with hard-cover sales — “though I’m way too old to jump off a cliff if a book doesn’t sell” — for a book whose reviews have been less than stellar. The New York Times warned readers that, upon finishing “Identical,” they might feel like they’ve endured “a long family meal with too much talk and food: disoriented, logy and a little nostalgic.” Regardless, Turow’s national best-sellers stretch back to 1987, when “Presumed Innocent” captivated readers (and was turned into a movie starring Harrison Ford in 1990). Some may forget that, from 1978-86, Turow served as an assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, a job he loved. So why jump into writing? “Each case is a death struggle — people’s liberties are

at stake,” says Turow, who authored much of “Presumed Innocent” on his train commute to work. “Trying to be respectable and ethical, and to overcome the barriers defense lawyers are properly trying to create, all of that stuff had me teeming with emotion. Writing a book about a prosecutor seemed like a natural.” Turow says his mother, Rita, dreamed of becoming a novelist. Though she joined a writers’ workshop in Winnetka, publication never came. “I took on her dream,” notes Turow, who knew he wanted to be a novelist at age 11 and who was enamored by Alexandre Dumas’ works. “I worked really hard as a young person to understand the craft of writing fiction.” During a college visit, Turow fell in love with the Amherst campus. So smitten was he by the private liberal arts college that he was shocked to find when he arrived there were no creative writing classes. “That will give you an idea of what kind of 17 year old I was,” he says. Undeterred, he wrote a novel exceeding 250 pages his freshman year about two boys on the North Side of Chicago who move away from home and witness the murder of a black prostitute in New Orleans. “I can’t bear reading that novel again because it wasn’t my voice,” Turow says. “The big challenge me and most people find as writers is to find your voice. Now, my satisfaction from writing is deep. You can get in touch with an inner self and give it voice.” Though the New Trier High School graduate — who believes “the best novels can be read by the English professor and the bus driver” — has focused on fiction, he also wrote “One L,” published in 1977 Scott Turow by G.P. Putnam Son’s, about his tumultuous first year at Harvard Law School. The man who once adorned the cover of Time magazine contributes essays and op-ed pieces to The Washington Post, Vanity Fair and other publications. And he remains engaged in the law, serving as a partner with the law firm Denton in Chicago, where he concentrates on white-collar criminal defense.

Twice the president of the Author’s Guild, Turow recently battled with Amazon, who itself is battling with Hachette Book Group over new e-book terms. “You would think that Amazon and authors would be a natural partnership. But the company’s domineering behavior makes that impossible,” says Turow, who used to be invited by Amazon chief Jeff Bezos to gatherings until he called the founder’s firm the “Darth Vader of the Literary World.” But a big smile crosses Turow’s face when the talk turns to Rock Bottom Remainders, a musical group that includes humorist Dave Barry among other well-known writers. “Anyone who knows anything about music would not let me near a microphone,” says Turow of the group that performs mainly at book festivals and gives proceeds to literary charities. “In the same sense that a barking dog is a singer, I’m a singer. Everybody in that band is Mozart in comparison.” Turow’s next novel, likely to be published in 2016, will be set at the I nt er nationa l Criminal Court illustration by barry blitt at The Hague, Netherlands. Whether it joins that special list again like his nine previous works of fiction — which have sold about 30 million copies worldwide — doesn’t concern him much. Says he, “Being a best-selling novelist was not my expectation — and truthfully, not even my goal.” ■
