Former Leo Burnett chief on cloud 999 with debut work

nsconced in his apartment, Richard Fizdale — former chairman and CEO of Leo Burnett — talks about his first book. The setting is appropriate: after all, the coffee-table publication is all about the building he lives in. “999: A History of Chicago in Ten Stories” (Amp&rsand, Inc.; $79.95) examines the 101-yearold brick structure designed by Wilmette’s Benjamin Marshall. The building serves as a bookend for East Lake Shore Drive; the Drake Hotel, a short walk away, is the other. Filled with vintage photographs, illustrations, engaging stories and more, the full color book (available at the Lake Forest Bookstore, The Book Stall in Winnetka, and The Book Bin in Northbrook) was not envisioned as such. “It started out as a brochure — then the project exploded,” says Fizdale, who will be appearing at Dickinson Hall in Lake Forest on Wednesday, Oct. 15 to talk about his work. The septuagenarian says the biggest surprise during his research — which started in 2010 — was the long shooting war in the area known as Streeterville, the new land mass created when Lake Shore Drive was built. The property on which 999 now sits was being claimed by George Wellington Streeter in 1910 when Ogden Trevor McClurg and Stuart Gore Shepard bought the oddly shaped lot from an attorney. “The 999 building ended the war and determined the winner, which was the millionaires who owned the

property on what was then the shore,” Fizdale says. One goal eluded Fizdale: he hoped to list every person who had ever lived in the building, but that turned out to be impossible. The society pages of daily newspapurchase purchase purchase pers proved to be a great resource for discovering Off of $500 Off of $1,000+ Off of $100 tenants. Among those with North Shore ties were William Allan Pinkerton Pullman, regarded as the Sept 14th – Oct 18th father of the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, and Florence Addington, widow of Keene H. Addington, who served as mayor of Lake Forest from 1917-19. The lifelong Chicagoan — who started as the lowest-paid copywriter at Leo Burnett in 1969 — chicago hinsdale lake forest winnetka thought he might give 25-30 books to people who 773 404 2020 630 655 0497 847 295 8370 847 441 0969 lived in the building; he didn’t think he’d sell even shopbedside.com one. But, after appearances on WTTW’s Chicago offer is valid 9/14/14 – 10/18/14 per visit on regularly priced items and can’t be combined with other promotions. Today and interviews on radio, the 260-page book is set to enter its second printing.

Tillman’s Cornerstone Foundation helps ill children and their families tackle health challenges ■ by bill mclean The news about his infant daughter’s heart condition hit Charles Tillman like a ton of Bears six years ago. Tillman — whose 12th season as a Chicago Bears cornerback ended abruptly after he suffered a torn right triceps injury against the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 14 — was at Lake Forest Hospital when a doctor informed him his daughter Tiana, then three months old, might not live to see another sunrise. Tiana needed a heart transplant, after being diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy in 2008. “I remember saying at the hospital, ‘Here, hold my daughter,’ ” Tillman recalls. “Then I rushed to the restroom and bawled my eyes out for 30 seconds. Next, I washed my face and gave myself a pep talk, right there in front of the mirror. I was good from that point on. “I had to be strong for my daughter.” His daughter received a new heart three months later, and Tiana’s overwhelmed daddy practically melted on the set of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” upon meeting the donor’s family less than a year later. “People don’t realize we met that family for the very first time on live television,” says the Green Oaks resident and recipient of the 2013 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for charitable efforts through the Charles Tillman Cornerstone Foundation. “It was as real as reality TV gets. That was pure, raw, emotional. “Tons of hugs that day … tons,” he adds. Tillman’s foundation continues to thrive and enhance lives, having impacted more than one million Chicagoarea kids since its inception in 2005. Initially established as an education-based endeavor, the foundation now also brightens the lives of chronically and critically ill children and their families. Tillman humbly downplays his role in the foundation, claiming its dedicated board members and generous sponsors deserve the bulk of recognition and that’s he’s only “the face of the organization.” But the 6-foot-2, 198-pound Tillman is the face, heart and soul of it. “I was fine with that [Cornerstone’s focus on education]; we addressed an attendance problem at public schools in Chicago,” says Tillman, also the father of Talya, 9, Tysen, 5, and Tessa, 18 months. “But after my daughter was diagnosed with her heart condition, my heart went in another direction.” “Charles’ Locker” is a Cornerstone Foundation program that provides access to iPads, computers, DVD players and PlayStation game systems for hospitalized children to help them make time fly during the challenges of recovery and treatment. Tillman — blessed with a magnetic, fun-loving, kidforever personality — is recovering from the triceps surgery he underwent on Sept. 23. His 2013 season ended last November because of the same injury. “I was mad when I couldn’t finish the game [the Bears’ 28-20 defeat of the 49ers last month],” admits the 33-yearold who wears jersey No. 33 and ranks first all-time in Bears history in defensive touchdowns (nine) and interception return yards (675). “I was mad that I couldn’t help my teammates, couldn’t battle with them for the rest of the second half. That crushed me, not being able to be out there with my brothers. “That part,” he adds, “hurt more than the arm injury did.” But the wounded wing doesn’t even cross Tillman’s mind when he visits the children’s wing in hospitals. It’s there where perspective strikes him hard — and inspires him. “Seeing kids with terminal cancer and other illnesses, seeing their strength and resiliency … those kids give me strength and make me appreciate life’s big picture and all that I’m fortunate to have,” says Tillman, whose wife, Jackie, serves as vice president of the Charles Tillman Cornerstone Foundation. “I can’t complain about my arm or anything else when I see what I see in hospitals.” What one of Tillman’s neighbors, Steven Esposito, witnessed near Tillman’s home months ago made quite an impression. It also made Esposito — senior vice president and portfolio management director of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management in Lake Forest — crack up. “Charles was riding a bike while walking his dog, with his

kids riding bikes alongside him. It looked like a … caravan. “I stopped my car and started laughing.” Esposito hosted a charity event for Tillman’s foundation several years ago. He has also attended other Cornerstone Foundation events, including a “Celebrity Waiter Night,” in which Tillman and his current and past teammates shed their pads and donned aprons to serve food and drinks to fans. [The fifth annual edition is set for Oct. 13, at The Montgomery Club in Chicago.] Advice for attendees: Don’t even think about passing the salad dressing caddy to a table mate when Charles “Peanut” Tillman is nearby, because he might instinctively either pick it off or punch it free. “Charles is a very humble guy, a nice guy,” says Esposito, who invites Tillman and his kids to use the berm in his backyard for sled time in the winters. “He’s also quiet, without that aura of arrogance you see in too many professional athletes these days. I don’t see a flashy guy when I

see Charles; I see a family-first man, a father who enjoys nothing more than being with his family when he isn’t playing football.” Tillman intends to be a fixture at Bears practices and on the sideline during games for the rest of the season. Instead of a helmet he’ll wear three “hats,” helping out as an assistant coach, cheerleader and water boy. “You have to be snappy,” he says of what it takes to be an effective water boy. Tiana Tillman, meanwhile, is a happy, active 6-yearold, riding horses and bouncing around as a gymnast and soccer player. The heart that formerly belonged to a boy from Minnesota beats inside one of the lights of Charles Tillman’s life. “Her health is fine and she’s doing all the things a normal 6-year-old does,” Tillman says. “She’s amazing.” For more information on the Cornerstone Foundation, visit www.charlestillman.org. ■

MultIPle lIstInG servICe When you decide to list your home with a Realtor®, as opposed to listing it yourself, you open up a world of possibilities for the successful marketing of your property. When your Realtor® takes the listing, the first thing that will be done will be the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS. This doesn’t just show the home to the Realtors® in their office; it shows the home to every member of MLS. The way that the MLS listing benefits the seller is akin to the idea of “word of mouth”, except modernized to best utilize the opportunities of a tech-savvy market: in a classic “word-of-mouth” scenario, one person tells two people, and then they, in turn, tell two people—only in this case, the numbers are much higher, because you’re dealing with cyberspace and your market is the whole internet! One listing goes to every agent and broker in the city and they in turn show it to their buyers. This opens up the possibility of a quick sale, and combined with the MLS information, can bring serious buyers to your door. To ensure a fast and stress-free closing, your two most powerful tools are the Multiple Listing Service and the knowledgeable Realtor® of your choice. For professional advice from an experienced Realtor, call Jean Wright at (847) 217-1906 or email at jwright@jeanwright.com

Ashim Seth photography

by joel lerner

Hair salon to offer relaxed atmosphere — and beer — for men ■ by sam eichner

A standard men’s haircut is often seen as little more than a lunch break with scissors — a chore lodged into a busy workweek. It’s hair littered on the floor, a paint-chipped redand-white pole, a thoughtless exchange that functions more as necessity than luxury.

“This is an answer for men who need a place to go and feel pampered.” | Ashim Seth Ashim Seth is working to alter that perception. In November, he’s planning on opening an 18/8 Fine Men’s Salon in Glenview. “This is an answer for men who need a place to go and feel pampered,” Seth says, his own black hair thick and speckled with gray, matted but meticulously combed. “They can get the expertise they want without being embarrassed.” 18/8 is a brand of luxurious salons, designed with men in mind. Though there are a handful of 18/8s open nationwide, there are 50 more currently in development (the one in Glenview will be the first in Illinois). Customers at 18/8 are ushered into a back room and encouraged to don a robe before entering their own semi-private station, where they’ll be treated to a wash and a cut, as well as have access to a fully stocked beverage bar and a slew of other services.

Though the process is longer — 45 minutes to an hour versus 20 to 25 minutes at a barbershop — it’s experiential in a way that normal haircuts are not. “You come in, you relax, you have a beer,” Seth says, remembering his first visit to a California location. “Over a period of an hour, you experience a complete rejuvenation of the self.” A longtime business consultant for Aon-Hewitt —first in India and later in the U.S. — Seth might seem an unlikely candidate for 18/8. But after leaving his job a year ago, Seth was looking to get back into the game. He considered several other franchises before eventually settling on 18/8, which he sees as filling a much-needed void between lowprice-point barbershops and super high-end salons. “I felt this was a niche that was growing pretty rapidly,” Seth says, citing a statistic that values the salon industry in the U.S. at $65 billion. The younger generation in particular, he notes, is much more amenable to trying a men’s salon like 18/8, a characteristic which is attributable in part to the transparency and availability of one’s public image in the Internet age. “You’re across the world in seconds now,” Seth says. “Millenials are exploring this much faster [than older generations.]” Still, he expects to see everyone from college students to retirees. And regardless of who comes into the salon, Seth hopes he’ll be able to make a positive impact on the Glenview community. “From a consultant’s view, first impressions count,” he says. “I can contribute to those by opening a men’s grooming business.” ■

standout student

In the long run it’s all about helping baby cousin ■ by jake jarvi Eleven-year-old Ella Palzet of Deerfield loves running. Both of her parents participate in marathons, she’s run alongside them and her three brothers as a family in several 5K events, and she’s one of the top athletes on her cross-country team at Shepard Middle School. This summer, Palzet found a new reason to run: To raise money to help her infant cousin Nora Levy, who was born 14 weeks premature. After seeing her cousin’s picture and hearing about her struggle, Palzet volunteered to raise money and awareness for her by running the Chicago Women’s Half Marathon on Sept. 27. At 13.1 miles, it’s a far longer distance than Palzet had ever run before.

“Running 13 miles might sound really hard, but for Nora, it feels like she’s running a marathon every day just trying to breathe.” | Ella Palzet “Running 13 miles might sound really hard, but for Nora, it feels like she’s running a marathon every day just trying to breathe,” Palzet says. “It’s kind of hard to think about how I don’t have to feel that every day.” Born weighing only one pound three ounces, Nora Levy is receiving care at NorthShore Evanston Hospital Infant Special Care Unit (ISCU). Nora’s campaign is called “Running for a Chance to Crawl” and so far she’s

raised $1,600 for the Neonatal Research fund for her cousin and for other premature babies. Donations to the fund are tax deductible and funnel into the work being done by the 13 neonatologists in the pediatrics department at the ISCU, which provides family-centered care to more than 500 premature and special-needs infants each year. “It’s really been a lesson on perspective and the human spirit once you learn what these little babies go through,” says Trish Palzet, Ella’s mother. “I think this whole thing has opened our eyes to helping others and what you can do in your own small way.” Trish was initially hesitant to let Ella sign up to run a half marathon. “It just seems really far for an 11-year-old,” Trish says. “But our doctor said it would be okay, so I had to let her do it. I set up a 12-week training program for her. We made a deal that she would train safely and eat properly.” All those mornings of waking up before 6 a.m. paid off for Palzet as she crossed the finish line of the Chicago Women’s Half Marathon. “It was really fun,” she says. “My mom ran with me at the beginning and then I ran ahead of her at the end, and there were people cheering for me at the sides, like my family. I’d already run 12 miles during training, so it wasn’t much different than that. I thought it was kind of easy.” The end of the marathon didn’t signal the end of Palzet’s quest to help her cousin. She continues to train and participate in other runs and wants to keep running until she reaches her goal of $10,000. Interested parties can make their tax-deductible donation at foundation. northshore.org/ellaandnora. ■

Andrew and Melissa find fitness and relaxation in northern Italy After Andrew Goltra tore his Achilles tendon three years ago playing paddle tennis, the former college rower needed another outlet. He chose biking. He enjoys it so much that Andrew and his wife, Melissa, flew to northern Italy this summer for a six-day trip that involved 60-90 miles of riding per day in the mountainous terrain of the Friuli-Venezia–Giulia region. That is, the 12 husbands on the trip pedaled while the wives (save one who rode) enjoyed cooking classes, hikes, wine lunches

“If you want to go to an unexplored area of Italy, this is it.” and more in the quiet countryside. “If you want to go to an unexplored area of Italy, this is it,” Melissa says. “We didn’t see any tourists.” Staying in a cottage at La Subida Relais Hotel — which is surrounded by vineyards — the couple had fantastic farm-to-table meals. Each course would be described to them in detail, and “everything was done with such love and care,” Melissa says. On the fifth day, the bikers tried to ascend a mountain. At lunch, the ladies waited for news. “We thought, ‘Do they have the energy to make it happen?’ “ Melissa notes. “Then we heard they had all made it to the top. It was emotional.” At the summit, Andrew and others received a nice surprise: they were greeted with Champagne by the owner of La Subida. A day in Venice aboard a gondola and seeing the sights concluded the trip. But even that paled in comparison to what they had already experienced. Says Melissa, “The best part was La Subida and that beautiful area.” ■ —David Sweet

love & marriage

Proof that high-school sweethearts can share beautiful life together ■ by joanna brown

I wrote a few weeks ago about my reunion with Archie Comics. Reading “Archie: The Married Life” on an August road trip was a guilty pleasure — but worth the ribbing I took from my copilot. The 2011 story is split into two parts: one in which he marries Veronica, stays in Riverdale, and joins her family business. The other part has Archie married to Betty. They move to New York so that he can pursue a music career while she takes a job at a department store. Browsing online later that night, however, I found that Archie and his brides are in the minority. Fewer than 15 percent of people marry their high school sweethearts, according to a Harris poll. I asked NSW readers to tell me what’s been the best thing about marrying their high school sweetheart. Heidi and Steve Mogck of Glencoe were the first to respond, in an email complete with photos taken in front of their high school lockers. They celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary earlier this summer with a toast to “three kids, one dog, good health, and a life together blessed by God.” Their story starts at their high school prom in suburban Minneapolis in 1980. “As teenage first dates go, ours had all the typical elements: nervousness, awkward moments, fear of not having anything interesting to talk about, concern over appearances. You name it, we felt it,” Heidi wrote in an email. Heidi’s mom was, of course, waiting up for her to come home that night and asked how the date had gone. “I replied, ‘It was fine, but I don’t think we will go out again.’ Her response was, ‘Steve is an extremely nice guy; you do not need to be madly in love with a boy to go out again. He could become a good friend. If

Fine Wines • Education • Cellar Consultation

Steve asks you out again, I think you should go!’ ” Heidi laughed it off. But Steve called. They went out again, and Steve kept Heidi laughing the whole evening. They were married in 1984. Their life together has been about making memories as they’ve grown up together: “truly knowing your spouse deeply – the good and bad, and loving them for who they are. Having the blessing of walking through all that life throws at you and knowing we have always had each other’s backs. We are grateful.” But Heidi said she’d still appreciate reading the advice I received from a local gentleman who spent 56 years married to a girl he met in high school on the Northeast side of Chicago. He asked that his name be withheld, though. “Names are not needed to get the idea across,” he told me. They were 14 and became friends their first year in high school. They became a couple in 1953 and married four years later. His bride died in 2013. He told me, “I am a firm believer that as you grow up together with so much in common it is so much easier to stay together. I hear about so many divorces in the younger (than mine) generations; young couples, newly together with not much background togetherness, just have no ambition to fight it out when times get a little tough — and there are times that get tough for all of us. “We long-time friends just keep going and hanging in there regardless of the weather.” His observation echoed that from the German writer Goethe, which I found near the end of my grown-up Archie Comic: “Love is an ideal thing. Marriage is a real thing.” Do you have a favorite quote that defines married life?

Evening to raise awareness of breast cancer ■ by simon murray

In August of 2013, Dr. Benjamin Schlechter lost his long-time friend and employee to breast cancer. He said when he is in surgery, he still finds himself looking to his side to see if his nurse Sylvia is there — and then he remembers. “She was the strongest person I have ever known, she never complained, she came to work directly from her treatments and worked long days, and she never sat down during a case — even though she was visibly fatigued,” Dr. Schlechter recalls. As a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed numerous breast reconstruction procedures over the past 20 years, he has always supported breast cancer causes and has hosted many events at his Pennsylvania practice and med-spa. Dr. Schlechter, who completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at The University of Illinois-Chicago, feels good about bringing his experience helping women regain their health following a breast cancer diagnosis to the North Shore. He will host “An Evening of Beauty with a Purpose” at North Shore Aesthetics at 1404 Techny Road in Northbrook on Thursday, Oct. 16 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. He has chosen Bright Pink, a national non-profit organization that focuses on education, risk reduction and early detection, to be the recipient of profits from the evening.

The informal format of the evening will lend itself for attendees to learn from the doctors and the representatives from skin care and laser companies. Each person will be given a passport to beauty to guide them through the stations throughout the office. There will be brief presentations by Dr. Schlechter and his associate Dr. Jacob Bloom, as well as Kathy Hawk, a licensed esthetician. They will speak on a range of topics including the latest advances in noninvasive cosmetic procedures, the full scope of breast surgeries, and skin care. Dr. Schlechter feels the key to the success is that the evening is fun. Catered food includes Garrett’s Popcorn, sushi, cupcakes and pink champagne. One of the highlights of the evening is the auction with over $10,000 in raffle prizes. All proceeds from the raffle ticket sales, and a portion of product sales are donated to Bright Pink. Dr. Bloom, a trained plastic, reconstructive and hand surgeon who joined the practice in August, is excited to partake in the first event at North Shore Aesthetics. “As plastic surgeons we have the unique opportunity to be part of the rebuilding process in the treatment of breast cancer. This event will allow us to highlight our role in that process while raising awareness,” he says. Preregistration is required to be guaranteed a special gift bag. To register, please call 847-393-4770. ■

wines of the week ■ by johnson ho

French culture has been praising the virtues of its complex red wines with haute cuisine — as well as the fact they’re symbols of wealth. The legendary top chateaux can fetch more money per bottle than a startup home. Within the last 25 years, Californian “ultra-boutiques” have learned to tailor their red creations to obtain top scores by focusing on power and “jammy ripeness” favored by wine reviewers. As Screaming Eagle’s Cabernet Sauvignon broke the $500 price barrier over a decade ago, scores of others have crossed the $200 marker. Are they really worth the price? Is a Ferrari worth $300,000 more than a Corvette? Here are some rationally priced, high-value propositions under the radar of the market.

Saturday Dinner 2007 Korbin Kameron Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Veeder, Sonoma, California; $38 Perched high above Napa Valley to the east and Sonoma Valley to the west, this small estate sits truly far off the beaten path of wine tourism. The brilliant mountain-top sunlight, cool climate and welldrained rocky grounds provide a wonderful condition for its grapes to ripen slowly. That permits the vines to extract a wealth of nutrients from the subsoil along with aromatic complexity reminiscent of expensive clarets. Classic blackberry, currants, dark-chocolate notes are embraced by a distinctive acidity that welcomes rich meats, especially with a tinge of grilled smoky flavor, e.g. BBQ ribs, rib-eye, porterhouse steaks, lamb shank or hearty sausages. Best 6-12 years from vintage after one hour of decanting. Midweek Meal 2010 Trefethen Double T, Red Wine, Napa Valley, California; $28 Located at the cooler southern end of Napa Valley (due to the fog banks from the San Francisco Bay blanketing the vineyards in the morning), the Trefethen Family estate traces its roots to the late 1800s when a German family decided settle there and pioneered wine making in the region. The tradition-conscious Trefethens eschew the loud blockbuster bruisers so typical strutting in their neighborhood. They favor a more elegant, food-friendly expression brimming with subtle nuances discernable in Grand Crus Bordeaux. This allows complex dishes with subtle meats — e.g. veal, pork, poultry, gamey fish, legumes, or red pasta dishes — to shine rather than to be overpowered. Soft cheeses and autumn mushroom dishes turn sublime with this selection. A veritable bargain! Best 4-8 years from vintage after half an hour of decanting. Best Value 2009 Pedroncelli Cabernet Sauvignon Block 007, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California; $23 When a wave of Italian-American farmers settled in this fertile region in the 1880s, they brought tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers and vines with them. Over the decades those farmsteads turned into the verdant garden land that supplied the farmer’s markets and grocery stores across the nation. Their traditional wines were intended for enjoyment with casual family meals and were derided by the high-brow Francophile gourmets until Robert Mondavi introduced sophisticated wine-making techniques to America in the 1960s. That watershed event succeeded in improving the rustic styles to international respectability — but still ataffordable prices. A fantastic Mediterranean and California Fusion cuisine choice, especially with pasta or vegetarian recipes. Best 4-8 years from vintage after half an hour of decanting.

Oktoberfest Glenview House photography by larry miller

A little bit of Munich came to Glenview last month as guests raised a glass to say “prost” to Oktoberfest at Glenview House. The afternoon featured grub, grog, and live music under a tent behind the restaurant.

Adler gem enjoys splendid revival Interior designer Soledad Zitzewitz created an elegant living room that reflects David Adler’s passion for symmetry. photography

■ by thomas connors One of David Adler’s finest residences is the exquisitely realized Italianate villa in Lake Forest he designed in 1916 for Charles Pike, lawyer, banker, and supporter of the Chicago Historical Society. Pike’s previous residence on the same site — designed by architect Charles Heun — was destroyed by fire. In creating a new home for Pike and his wife, Adler did the unexpected: He set the 15,000-square-foot house quite close to the street in order to afford the property an extensive, landscaped vista, with Lake Michigan as an inimitable backdrop. One of the home’s greatest practical and pleasurable aspects is the courtyard Adler fashioned. Situated between the street and the house, this formally articulated space acts as a buffer from Lake Road, while providing both a jewel-like introduction to the home and a protected area in which to enjoy the outdoors when winds are blowing. Neglected for a time, Adler’s artful outdoor room was admiringly revived by Craig Bergmann Landscape Design of Lake Forest in 2013. As Bergmann notes, Adler’s design echoes the cloister, that monastic space that served as both a contemplative retreat and garden.

“Our idea was to create a kind of new Italian living room using simple, modern pieces.” | Soledad Zitzewitz “Historically, these courtyards would have harvestable plants used for medicinal purposes,” he says. “We reference that model with such plants as rosemary, sage, and

Artemisia.” At the same time, the space assumes the profile of a parterre garden, with four stone paths radiating from a central star-shaped motif and four beds defined by deciduous privet hedges. To complement this formality, Bergmann installed lilac and rhododendron standards and terracotta pots of boxwood and tulips. “Cape Daisy “ Fire Burst” Dusty Miller, “Delta Rose” pansies and lavender add additional color. In addition to curating the natural elements of this oasis, Bergmann collaborated with interior designer Paul Klug to outfit it with furnishings and decorative items, including a suite of wrought iron seating, lanterns, and impressive braziers. “The house was so beautifully ornamented already,” says Bergmann. “So we had to be especially judicious in decorating the space.” Interior designer Soledad Zitzewitz took a similarly discriminating approach in handing the home’s primary public space, the living room (or as Adler referred to it, the library). Although the space boasts a 15-foot vaulted ceiling and a five-foot tall fireplace, it is a fairly unfussy room. “The house has simple lines and uses simple materials, plaster, and limestone,” relates Zitzewitz. “Our idea was to respect that and create a kind of new Italian living room using simple, modern pieces.” Zitzewitz acknowledges Adler’s penchant for symmetry with her even-handed furniture placement (including a pair of custom-designed sofas), and in a nod to the house’s historic character, she incorporated antique occasional tables, a finely crafted, reproduction tapestry, and a bronze buffet in a Louis XVI mode, created by Chicago artist and furniture designer Evan Lewis. While the walls, done in silver metallic with a linen texture express an unmistaken luxe, the greater share of the designer’s color palate — earth tones and muted shades of green — help strike an elegant balance between the formality inherent in Adler’s design

and Zitzewitz’s desire to fashion a room a contemporary family could feel right at home in. ■

Playing No. 1 — and heading to Minnesota — a good fit for hockey-loving Emme Iron will: Deerfield High School’s Jacob Krugman follows the flight of his ball during the Wheeling Invite. photography

Forehand thinking: Glenbrook South’s Annie Emme is one of the state’s top singles players. She’ll join former teammate Christine Ryba at the University of Minnesota.

■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Glenbrook South senior tennis ace Annie Emme is a huge hockey fan and an even bigger fan of the movie, “Miracle,” starring Kurt Russell as USA’s men’s hockey coach Herb Brooks at the 1980 Winter Olympics. She has seen the flick at least 50 times. “I know every line of that speech,” Emme says of the stirring pep talk Russell’s character delivered to his boys — and their puck-sized eyes — in a locker room before Team USA stunned the USSR in Lake Placid, N.Y. Among the lines: “If we played ’em 10 times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight.” “This is your time.” “Great moments … are born from great opportunity.” Nearly one year ago, Emme — the daughter of a youth hockey coach, Rob Emme — faced such an opportunity in the singles final of the Glenbrook North Sectional. On the other side of the tennis net stood top-seeded Caroline Ryba, then a senior and one of Emme’s Titans teammates. Emme had never defeated Ryba in an official match. “I had never defeated her in a practice,” says Emme, South’s No. 2 singles player on varsity from 2011-13. Emme played the match of her life, edging Ryba 7-5, 0-6, 7-5 with an impressive display of verve, patience and shot-making. “I got ahead early, and that gave me confidence,” says Emme, a co-captain who has lost only once this fall as the Titans’ No. 1 singles player. Emme netted more success at the state meet the following weekend, winning seven of nine matches to finish sixth. She beat a trio of players seeded 9-16 and lost 6-3, 6-1 to eventual state runner-up Isabella Lorenzini of Hinsdale Central in a quarterfinal. “I’m trying to get stronger mentally in situations, stay focused,” says Emme, who, as a 17-32 seed, reached the semifinals of the back draw (seventh-eighth place) at state two

years ago. “I want to make sure I don’t cave under pressure. “The mental part,” she adds, “is such a big part of tennis.” Emme’s serve? Also big. When she’s not cracking aces, she’s collecting gobs of free points via serves that either handcuff her overmatched opponents or fly off the frames of their rackets. “Her serve … she can turn it on, put in any corner with a lot of spin and speed,” says Titans senior co-captain and No. 2 singles players Breck Murphy. “Annie also hits great groundstrokes and amazing volleys and drop shots. But it’s her serve that separates her from a lot of other great players.” Emme’s net game ranks right up there with her serve as a nettlesome weapon. Her hands are NHL-goalkeeper quick, and her touch is oh-so feathery up there. “Annie has one of the best net games I’ve ever seen [at the prep level],” says first-year Glenbrook South coach Stephanie (Heller) Mats, a 2005 Glenbrook North graduate who teamed up with Ali Salomone to win the state doubles championship in ’04. “She’s quite an athlete, with an athletic arm. “And Annie is calm, even-keeled when she competes,” the coach adds. “I remember asking her during one of her matches, ‘How are you doing?’ She looks at me casually and says, ‘I’m losing … I’ll figure it out.’ She is such a pleasure to coach because I never have to worry about her. I don’t want her to graduate; I want her back for another season.” Emme will play her freshman tennis season in college next fall at the University of Minnesota, where hockey rules and a familiar face is slapping shots as a Gophers rookie … tennis player: Ryba. “She’s doing really well (3-1 in singles, 5-2 in doubles through Oct. 6), and she’s posting pictures of the team,” says Emme, who topped New Trier junior Cammy Frei (half of last year’s third-place doubles team at state) 7-6 (4), 6-2 in a road dual on Oct. 1. “We’ve been talking, staying in touch. “The campus is awesome,” adds Emme, ranked 98th nationally and No. 9 in the Great Lakes region as a four-star

(out of five) recruit by tennisrecruiting.net. “I love the Minnesota coaches, the team. The coaching staff — that was a big part of my decision to [verbally] commit to the school.” Almost as biting as Emme’s tennis game is her sense of humor, say the people who get to bask in her presence on and off the court. “Annie is hilarious, the way she makes me laugh every day,” Mats says. “So funny, so funny. She comes up with these one-liners …” “Annie,” says Murphy, “is one of the most easy-going people I know. People have told me that her teachers love having her in class because she makes them laugh. At school, when people think of Annie, the first thing that comes to mind is her humor; she’s hysterical.” Last May, after Glenbrook South named Mats to succeed Katie Nicolotti, Mats got together with her coaches and most of the members of the Titans’ current varsity squad. One of Mats’ assistants pointed to Emme that day, saying, “There’s Annie; she’ll be your No. 1 singles player in the fall.” Mats shot the coach a bewildered look. “I thought, ‘Really? Her?’ ” Mats recalls. “She appeared so quiet then. I think I heard her say two words. But as I got to know her, I enjoyed her personality and found out what a remarkable, remarkable young lady she is. Annie is nice, incredibly well-mannered — she claps for her opponents’ nice shots. “And you know what else?” the coach adds. “She’s all about the team.” Notable: Glenbrook South lost 4-3 to host New Trier on Oct. 1. Emme, sophomore Isabella Kang (No. 3 singles) and seniors Martina Dragoytchev/Jessica Chepurda (No. 1 doubles) left the courts as Titans victors. NT finished third at state in 2013; Dragoytchev/Chepurda went 4-2 in doubles at the same meet, reaching the seventh round of the consolation bracket. … Mats, a JV tennis coach at Niles West from 2012-13, played collegiate tennis at Indiana University. … Mats’ older brother, Ryan Heller, played tennis at Glenbrook North and captured the state singles title as a junior in 2002. ■

THe North shore weekend | glenview, northbrook, deerfield | 10/11 – 10/12/14

Novak leaves quite an expression on this game ■ by t.j. brown

sports@northshoreweekend.com Quincy Novak knows the stakes each time he takes the field. With four losses, Deerfield sits on the brink of elimination from playoff contention, and Novak, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound twoway player, doesn’t want his final season to end after just nine games. That’s why the senior’s hard-to-miss smile was a little wider after last week’s 35-21 win at rival Glenbrook North. “It’s nice to see people with smiles on their faces,” he mused. It was a strange week with a Thursday night kickoff to accommodate the Jewish players planning on observing Yom Kippur Friday night. When a lightning storm halted play midway through the fourth quarter Oct. 2 and delayed the game for an hour, both teams agreed to return Oct. 3 to resume play at 3 p.m. Was the smile pure joy or relief? Maybe a little bit of both. “Quincy is a joy to be around,” Deerfield coach Steve Winiecki said. “He’s such a happy kid, just pure joy.” Novak himself had enough reasons to smile — 398, to be exact, in the form of yards the offense racked up with No. 72 lining up at right guard. He also had a few other reasons to smile, thanks to some inspired defensive play by him and fellow D-line mates Christopher Moran, Alex Porento and Scott Garcia. Novak was a big part of Deerfield’s tripleoption offense, which controlled the line of scrimmage.

“Our offensive line played great,” Winiecki said. “Our offense relies on a lot of little things. It’s a timing-based offense, so it’s important to have good line play.” “This is an offense where all 11 guys have to be on the same page or it doesn’t work,” Novak said. They were in concert as Warriors junior running back Johnny Fisher (28 carries, 228 yards, four touchdowns) and junior quarterback Anthony Ranallo (15 carries, 109 yards, 1 touchdown) were the chief beneficiaries. Novak settled into playing both ways, defensive tackle and right guard, for a few games last year. This year, he joins a veteran group up front. Deerfield took control early, scoring touchdowns on its first two drives, while stopping Glenbrook North on its first drive. The big play came on a second-and-four from the Deerfield 20, when Spartans senior quarterback Danny Ahern was stopped by Novak just inches shy of a first down. The next play, Moran and Jake Williams stopped North running back John Clark in the backfield for a 2-yard loss. On fourth-and-2, Ahern’s pass to Mitchell Schermerhorn was batted down and Deerfield took over. Deerfield stopped another drive at its 2, when a fourth-and-goal Jet pass from Schermerhorn to Bryce Call was ruled to have been caught out of bounds.

In it for the long run(s)

Glenbrook South’s Janczak shows off speed, power in 31-point win ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Glenbrook South senior Quinn Conaghan looks at junior running back Ryan Janczak and marvels. In automobile terms, the 5-foot-8, 196-pound Janczak is a Mack truck with a Ferrari engine. He’s got impressive power and speed for a running back. “It’s clear, just by looking at him, what he can do,” said Conaghan, following Janczak’s 248-yard rushing performance in GBS’s 49-28 victory over visiting Evanston, which was completed on Oct. 3 following a lightning delay on Oct. 2. “He’s a big dude. He’s got those huge thighs.” You can’t miss the thighs … they’re like (well, you know) tree trunks. “It’s genetics,” said Janczak. “I’m part Polish. That’s where I get my size from. “They (the thighs) really help me to run through tackles,” he added. His ability to make defenders miss was put on full display, when he blasted through the line of scrimmage and zoomed into the end zone on runs of 65 and 64 yards in the first half. “A powerful kid,” said Glenbrook South head coach Mike Noll, who saw his prized running back score four times in this 31-point victory. “He’s been good this season. But, in this game, he was really good. “He did a great job of finishing some runs,” Noll added. “We hadn’t seen a lot of that. It’s a good sign. Janczak, who rushed for 290 yards and three TDs through the first four games of the season, had been slowed by a left ankle injury (he missed the Deerfield game). “He’s healthy now, and he’s peaking at the right time,” said Noll. Ten of Janczak’s 24 carries against Evanston went for six yards or more. “He (Janczak) ran all over us,” said Evanston coach Mike Burzawa. “This game was more like the way I played at the sophomore level,” said Janczak. “I’m feeling very comfortable (at the varsity level) right now.” He credited his offensive line. “I had some great line blocking,” said Janczak, referring to Mike Berg, Kyle Gorman, Daniel Moses, Dan Neusen and Mario Ramirez. “You could see the holes opening up.” Janczak used to run track. But now, he’s concentrating fully on football. “Football is my thing,” he said. “I love making long runs. Everybody loves those.” Notable: Conaghan, a two-way starter, continues to be one of GBS’s most valuable players. Offensively, in the win

He … did … go … all the way: Glenbrook South junior running back Ryan Janczak races into the end zone on a 65-yard run against Evanston. He also had a 64-yard TD run. photography by george pfoertner

over Evanston, he rushed for 72 yards, including a 15-yard TD run, and caught two passes for 26 yards. Defensively, he had seven tackles. He also recovered a game-opening on-side kick by Henry Tarbox. … Safety Peter Wassmann led the Titans with eight tackles. He also had a fumble recovery. Carlos Benitez made six stops, including a nineyard quarterback sack. Jacob Acocella had five tackles, including an eight-yard sack. Ryan Cleary also had five

tackles and a sack to go along with a fumble recovery. … The Titans (5-1, 1-1), who will travel to New Trier (5-1, 1-1) on Oct. 10, received another solid outing from quarterback Fitz Stadler. He completed 9 of 12 passes for 156 yards. He tossed a pair of perfectly executed play-action TD passes to Sean McDonagh (15 and 17 yards) in the second half. Top receiver Chase Daniel caught four passes for 89 yards before leaving with an injury. ■
