Marty Bredemann, general manager of Bredemann Lexus in Glenview, is looking forward to the Chicago Auto Show.

LUCK BE THREE LADIES IN GLENVIEW C ould number four be out there? Since February of 2014, three Glenview people have won sizable amounts in the Illinois Lottery from tickets purchased at locations in and around town. All are women, and all have won a million or more dollars — two from scratch-off tickets, and one from a special New Year’s Millionaire Raffle sponsored by the Illinois Lottery. First was Athena Korines, a 51-year-old bartender at Glenview’s Potato Creek Johnny’s. The single mom often pooled her money with her friend Rob Devine to buy instant tickets, including the “Fabulous Fortune” game purchased at Chestnut Wine and Spirits last February. The pair won a $1 million prize, which they split.

“I didn’t believe it was real. When it finally sunk in, we signed the back of the ticket, put it in my purse and drove straight to the Prize Center in Des Plaines,” Korines noted. With her earnings, she plans to buy a house and share the money with her children. Devine hopes to use it for retirement. Then in December, Rosalyn Aranda took home one of the top prizes for scratch-off tickets, $4 million, after a friend followed a request to purchase her game piece at the Citgo gas station on Waukegan Road. “I asked him to bring me back a big winner, and he certainly did,” Aranda noted. The 67-year-old former pharmacist Continues on page 13

FIRST WORD

NEW LOOK T CAN BRING HEALING

he cover of any publication sets the tone for its what’s inside. Vanity Fair often opts for a good-looking celebrity; The New Yorker, a drawing to make one think or laugh. In our 2-1/2 year history, we’ve solely showcased sterling photography on our cover. That’s still the case — but those shots are now joined by two stories. In my inaugural column introducing The North Shore Weekend, the first four words were: Telling stories on paper. We’re starting to put those stories out front and center. As noted a few weeks ago, we’re adding newsier fare to our lineup of compelling profiles, strong features and insightful columns. Our elegant look — rare for a newspaper — is even better now. The masthead is more inviting than ever. Inside, the style of the printed word (also known as the font) is more graceful. And the paper is slightly shorter top to bottom; The North Shore Weekend is now roughly the size of Barron’s, another publication that has the best elements of the newspaper and magazine world. Hope you enjoy the new look, and feel free to e-mail me your thoughts.

David Sweet

I had a bit of a new look recently. For the first time recently, I broke a bone. Not in my finger, toe or other somewhat unnecessary digit; my left fibula. Never before had I been barely mobile for so long (just about two weeks). In a snap, all the easy stuff — brushing teeth, putting trash in a wastebasket, charging an iPhone — became a chore. Strategy of movement was planned with the dedication of Sir Winston Churchill planning to defeat the Nazis, especially when the house was empty. Should I try to get my glasses, that piece of paper I need and maybe even a cup of coffee by hobbling downstairs? Should I wait a few hours until the boys and their Mom are back from their hockey games? And why didn’t we train our hounds for a situation like this, teaching them to fetch objects and bring them, tails wagging, to limited-mobility master rather than just letting them bark at falling snow? I thought, after my left ankle twisted and I fell, that I merely had suffered a sprained ankle. The swelling would go away, and I’d be back to normal quickly. X-rays (in fact, the final one, ordered after I had left the

In a snap, all the easy stuff — brushing teeth, putting trash in a wastebasket, charging an iPhone — became a chore.

machine) presented a different perspective. Thank you to Dr. Anand Vora of the Illinois Bone & Joint Institute — a true professional — for getting me into surgery at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital as soon as possible and for steering me to a full recovery. And thanks to my family and our friends for being so great in all respects during an unpleasant fortnight. Given that before this stumble I walked thousands of steps on an average day — and far more when living in New York City or playing golf — it is possible I’ve tallied about 100 million steps since taking that inaugural one around my first birthday. But like many things in life, you remember the moment that didn’t work out rather than buy yourself a medal for half a century of stunningly good ambulation. At least now I can refute the cliché and appreciate the God-given basics we’ve all been given rather than wait until they’re gone Enjoy the weekend.

Save Kevin’s Place

Continued from page 1

ticket cost as much as a daily newspaper costs today — is that expansive, that exhaustive. “People are tired of winter around this time every year, tired of the cold and tired of the snow,” says Marty Bredemann, general manager of Bredemann Lexus in Glenview. “They’re thinking baseball, Opening Day, is just around the corner. They’re thinking how enjoyable it would be to drive a new car in the spring. It’s a big draw, the auto show. It has always been a big draw. It’s a major opportunity for people to see manufacturers show their latest and greatest wares. “It’s an exciting time,” he adds. It is a time for Bryn Fabbri to watch car lovers turn into paparazzi. Fabbri is an event coordinator for Lake Forest Sportscars in Lake Bluff, a factory authorized dealer for Ferrari, Maserati, Ashton Martin, Lotus and McLaren. Think of a McLaren as George Clooney, next to a Ferrari, Amal Clooney. People are going to want to capture the moment of that pair. People are going to want to focus and click. And focus and click again. “I’ve seen 200 excited people, at a time, taking pictures of our cars at the Chicago Auto Show,” Fabbri says. “It’s like they’re all seeing a celebrity for the first time. These people live and breathe cars. For some, the auto show is the highlight of their year. It’s our busiest event of the year. This is our big game.” Among Lake Forest Sportscars’ camera targets at this year’s Chicago Auto Show will be the Ferrari California T and the McLaren 650S. The exterior of the former is “aggressive,” Fabbri notes. The latter, a supercar, is related to the McLaren F1, released in the 1990s and considered one of the greatest supercars ever built. “Supercars … they have a rawness about them,” Fabbri says. “They’re bucket-list cars, must-have cars. There’s an unattainable factor about them that’s appealing and memorable. People are drawn to exclusivity. You can make a fake Louis Vuitton bag. You can’t make a fake Ferrari.” The 2015 Jaguar F-Type is a real treat. It is ultra-sporty, sleek, striking. Jaguar enthusiasts expect such visuals. What they had not received from an F-Type, before 2015, was one with manual transmission. Have stick shift in ’15, will travel —

Kevin’s Place, a longtime downtown Deerfield restaurant that has been owned by Kevin Quigley for the last 23 years, is in the process of reopening after a crowd-sourcing campaign on GoFundMe.com raised what he needed to continue operations. The campaign, called Save Kevin’s Place, managed to raise $17,551 of the proposed $5,000. According to the website, it took only six days for 253 people to donate the necessary funds. The total funds included two anonymous donations of $1,000, $500 from Rhonda and Mitch Robbins, and $360 by Penny Levy and family.

with more control. “We’re thrilled about that availability this year,” says Jordan Aron, president of Imperial Motors Jaguar in Wilmette and Lake Bluff. “People at the auto show get excited when they look at a Jaguar, when they sit in a Jaguar. Some are there to buy. Some show up to fantasize a little. Walk around an F-Type, and you’ll get excited at every angle.” Lexus introduced its new GS F sedan to the world in January. It is geared up to make its Windy City debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The model’s 5.0-liter V8 engine produces 467 horsepower and has been described as “throaty, naturally aspirated.” Lexus is also anxious to show its RC350 AWD Sport Coupe and two versions of its all-new entry luxury SUV, the NX200t and the NX300 Hybrid. “The styling of the cars is what people will notice and find attractive,” Bredemann says, adding the RC350 Sport Coupe and NX300 Hybrid made their

debuts at Lexus-Glenview late last year. “We’ve received a terrific response about the content, features and great luxury value. We’re excited that many will see those models for the first time at the auto show.” Ford’s 2015 F-150 pickup truck is 700 pounds lighter than its 2014 version. It did not reach its svelte form by revving more regularly at the gym or by guzzling low octane gas. It is now an aluminum-bodied truck, allowing consumers to get two to three more miles per gallon, notes Al Frisch, co-president of Highland Park Ford Lincoln. Another Ford to check out at the show is the 2015 Transit van, similar in configuration to the Mercedes Sprinter. The new Ford Mustang should turn countless heads at the 107th edition of the Chicago Auto Show. Ford engineered its 2015 pony car to be sold around the world, a first since the very first Mustang rolled off an assembly line in 1964. “It has been completely Marty Bredemann revamped,” Frisch says. “It’s all

new, with all-new panels, with a new independent rear suspension. It’s a world car. We’re excited to show the Mustang and other cars in the exciting atmosphere that surrounds the Chicago Auto Show. It kicks off the auto season. Every attendee is so wound up, even those who aren’t car lovers. It’s an upbeat place to be, a fun place.” It is a location where funds are raised annually for charities, 18 nonprofits benefitting this year. A black-tie event, First Look for Charity, is held on the eve of the Chicago Auto Show’s first day. It sets the auto show apart from auto shows in other cities, in other countries, because of the money it raises. It typically generates $2.5 million … in four hours. Or the cost of eight new McLarens, give or take a turbocharger. One of the nonprofits is Catholic Charities of Chicago. For years at the auto show, Bredemann has served as co-chair of the drive to aid Catholic Charities’ Maternity & Adoption and Neighbors in Need programs.

“First Look for Charity is a huge thing, a wonderful event,” Bredemann says. Lake Forest Sportscars’ Fabbri runs into all kinds of people at the auto show each year. She meets lifelong fans of Ferraris. She converses with folks interested in the history of the McLaren or the heritage of another supercar. She sees the eyes of youngsters grow to the size of tires, just like that. Coollooking, arresting cars stop humans in their tracks. Transform humans. “We’re there to sell cars, educate people and excite people, no matter how old they are,” Fabbri says. “Thirty years from now, that 10-year-old we see at this year’s Chicago Auto Show might be interested in buying a Ferrari from us.” Chicago Auto Show tickets are available at McCormick Place ticket booths on public show days or online at www.chicagoautoshow.com/tickets. Local Fifth Third Bank branches are offering ticket discounts.

Most recently was 23-yearold Glenview resident Jenny Zajac who told her family at a New Year’s Eve dinner that her 2015 resolution would be to win $1 million in the lottery. Turns out her affirmation came true as she checked up on her $20 New Year’s Millionaire Raffle ticket she had purchased at a Marathon gas station in Niles and discovered the surprise. “None of us could believe it was true,” the 23-year-old graphic designer said. She plans to use the earnings to pay off student loans, buy a house with her fiancé and invest for future savings. According to Illinoislotterynumbers.net, chances of winning the jackpot are 1 in 20,358,520, so to have three winners in one geographical area of the state in such a short span of time is quite rare.

MEASLES HITS THE NORTH SHORE F

ive babies at a Palatine daycare center have the measles, and public health officials are saying the highly infections disease is likely to spread. The North Shore Weekend wanted to know about immunization compliance at public school districts in our communities. The immunization rate on the North Shore is much higher than it is nationally among all of the school districts that we’ve studied so far, but within the North Shore there is a lot of variation. Glencoe, for example, has the highest nonimmunization rate – nearly four times higher than that of Wilmette’s. Measles is one of several required vaccinations for school attendance in Illinois, but the state allows exemptions due to “religious reason” or “medical reason or objection,” and a small minority do so.

The national immunization rate for measles is 91.9% (2013), according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ABC News reported that for measles to become endemic again in the U.S., measles immunizations would have to drop below 90%. Here are immunization rates at North Shore public school districts: Lake Bluff District 65 Total number of kids: 860 Percent not immunized for measles: 1.74% Lake Forest School District 67: Total number of kids: 1,882 Percent not immunized for measles: 1.09% Lake Forest District 115: Total number of kids: 1,686 Percent not immunized for measles: 0.65%

The freeze-and-thaw cycle of this winter’s weather is expected to cause a number of water line breaks. Already, the Village Public Works crew has repaired five broken pipes. Once a water main break is repaired, the water that flows through taps in the area may be a shade of brown due to sediment being knocked loose in the pipes. There is no danger of contamination. Simply run any faucet in the house that does not have a filtration screen to alleviate the problem. It takes about six months for the ground to settle following repairs, so any yards that are damaged can’t be immediately repaired. If you see water leaking from a water main, contact the Glenview Public Works Department at 847657-3030.

RAUNER APPROVES MEDICAL MARIJUANA BY SELENA FRAGASSI

overnor Bruce Rauner approved the state’s allotment of medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries last week, including two proposed for the North Shore in District 22 (New Trier and Northfield township) and District 34 (Evanston and Niles). The approval process had been previously delayed after former Governor Pat Quinn signed the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act in August 2013, which permits people suffering from an approved list of medical conditions to be prescribed the drug for symptom relief. Under the law, Illinois is allowed up to 22 cultivation centers and up to 60 dispensaries divided by state police districts according to population; last week’s approvals cover 90% of that base, including 18 growing facilities and 51 of the purchase points (the rest are on hold pending further investigation by the governor’s office). The two North Shore depots focus on companies Pharmacann LLC based in Oak Park and Greenhouse Group LLC based in Manteno that were awarded multiple licenses in different districts

throughout the state. While there is no definitive word where Greenhouse Group LLC plans to set up shop in New Trier and Nor thf ield To w n s h i p , Pharmacann was awarded one of the most competitive locations in the state, located in an Evanston parking garage at 1800 Maple Avenue. “Evanston was a unique case, and the only one I’m aware of where the city owns the property and had basically talked with all

applicants and said, ‘We’ll give a letter to anyone that wants to apply and whoever gets the license we’ll work with,’” said Ali Nagib, a cannabis activist who is the assistant director of the Illinois NORML Chapter of the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws and serves on the board of the Illinois Cannabis Industry Association trade group that serves the interests of the industry and license holders. “By and large there are still sme

applicants that still have zoning pending in their respective towns and it’s not clear what will happen because it’s possible that the applicants approved by the state will be denied zoning,” he continued, leaving a big question mark on the fate of Greenhouse Group LLC in an area where medical marijuana shops are hotly debated. If that’s the case Nagib said a couple of scenarios could happen: The applicant could try to sue the municipality and say the zoning

moving according to plan and Nagib said, “We are still on the timeline that was anticipated when this law was introduced and passed almost two years ago.” His best guess is that dispensaries will start to open in fourth quarter, around September 1, but even that “factors in the cultivation sites being licensed and open and growing the medicine, manufacturing products and distributing them to dispensaries for patients.” Regardless, he said, “We are certainly happy and encouraged Rauner moved forward in the way that he did.” Why he acted so quickly after previously saying no licenses would be issued until after a thorough legal review is anyone’s guess, though. Perhaps he wanted to make a statement at last week’s State of the State Address—or denial is invalid under state law or, maybe he was simply listening to if they are unable to resolve the constituents. “I was at the capital zoning issue, they could go to the last Wednesday, and I know a state and try to relocate to a new group of patients were down there location that would be to advocate the issue and they were acceptable. able to speak with him briefly,” re“At this stage it’s too early to tell called Nagib. “The fact that they which is more likely and how the pushed this through in three weeks state and courts will react to all of tells us that they clearly heard the this,” he said. “The law is still new, voices of folks like ourselves and and there is no case law behind it patients speaking to him directly still so no one can say with confi- and indirectly and encouraging CoolSculpting is the non-surgical body contouring dence what will happen.” him to move this forward and he treatment For now, at least, everything to No heart.” eliminates fatisfromtook yourthat body. needles, no surgery and b

LOVE & MARRIAGE

FROM BEETHOVEN TO BRANDO, LOVE LETTERS ARE MELODIC AND POIGNANT Joanna Brown STANDOUT STUDENT Will Tilson

f you’ve done any shopping since Dec. 26, you’ve undoubtedly run into a Valentine’s Day display or two. They’re often right next to the Easter baskets. The greeting cards make up the biggest part of most displays, with options for spouses, children, friends, siblings, classroom teachers and most anyone else in your life. I recently breezed past such a display and put off my selections until my next shopping trip. But days later I found myself thinking about those greeting cards again. A 2014 study of social media use found that among the ways that social media has changed our lives is that men write fewer love letters. I’ve never written a love letter. Heck, I didn’t even write my vows for my wedding day. But editor Shaun Usher compiled dozens of the best hand-written letters for me to browse in his blog and subsequent book, “Letters of Note.” Historically significant people from most every era, it seems, have put pen to paper to profess their love. “Even in bed my ideas yearn towards you, my Immortal Beloved, here and there joyfully, then again sadly, awaiting from Fate, whether it will listen

to us,” wrote Beethoven to an unidentified recipient in 1812. “I can only live, either altogether with you or not at all.” The author is revered and his language symphonic — a bit intimidating, if you ask me. I kept browsing for a letter that seemed less dramatic. Musician Johnny Cash wrote to his wife June: “That’s really nice, June. You’ve got a way with words and a way with me, as well. The fire and excitement might be gone now that we don’t go out there and sing them anymore but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.” And Marlon Brando wrote to a flight attendant in 1966: “Dear Lady, There is something not quite definable in your face – something lovely, not pretty in a conventionally thought of way. You have something graceful and tender and feminine. You seem to be a woman who has been loved in childhood … it’s been a pleasant if brief encounter and I wish you well and I hope we shall have occasion to cross eyes again sometime.” These letters aren’t nearly as melodic as Beethoven’s last symphony, but each were

representative of the writer. Their sincerity is endearing — their simplicity, encouraging. Usher has loads more letters worth skimming the next time you have a minute, drafted by writers ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Sid Vicious to Michael Jordan (written to a girlfriend when both were in high school) and Popeye cartoonist Elzie Segar. Vicious listed his girlfriend’s 12 best attributes in 1978, just months before he allegedly stabbed her. These included her beautiful figure, great sense of humor, “fab taste in clothes,” and sexy feet. But my favorite post so far is the note President Gerald Ford wrote to wife Betty on White House stationery after her breast cancer diagnosis in 1974. He addressed it to Mom: “No written words can adequately express our deep, deep love. We know how great you are and we, the children and Dad, will try to be as strong as you. Our faith in God and you will sustain us. Our total love for you is everlasting.” It ended with their promise to remain by her side and was signed “xxxx, Jerry.” Share your advice for writing a love letter with me at joanna@northshoreweekend.com.

FRESHMAN LOVES SINGING THE BLUES By Jake Jarvi

hen most kids have been playing guitar for a year, they’ve got their eye on their school’s talent show. But Will Tilson was joining his uncle’s band, The Crazy Gringos, on stage for four-hour sets, staying up to 2 a.m. when he was 11 years old. He started out playing rhythm guitar with the group on rock tunes by the Beatles and Rolling Stones; a couple years later he was joining in on lead guitar. “I was on top of the world,” Tilson says. “I don’t know how I sounded, but I was living it.” That was before Tilson found the blues. Now, a 15-year-old freshman at New Trier High School, Tilson wandered into the realm of rock and roll’s soulful forefather several years ago, reading interviews with rock and roll legends about their musical inspirations. He’s been a bluesman ever since.

Mimicking the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy, Tilson started working on his own energetic sound, kind of a cross between blues and country; he’s recorded an album at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, backed by a group of legendary session players; and he won the Chicago Blues Challenge Youth Showcase, and was picked to represent the Windy City Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. He took the stage in Memphis for his solo set at the end of January. “There were 250 bands, just blues from all over the world,” Tilson says. “Each band had 30-minute sets, in all these different clubs over two or three blocks of Beale Street in Memphis. I was there all day and all night. It was really cool. It was a chance for me to showcase my stuff, and I got to play for some really cool

I was there all day and all night. It was really cool.” Will Tilson

people.” The interest surrounding Tilson isn’t solely because of his guitar playing, song writing, and obvious enthusiasm for music. When this young man starts singing, everybody has to take a second look.

His voice is a deep, earnest baritone, and when he does his rendition of “Dock of the Bay” — the song made famous by Otis Redding — an old, soulful rasp hangs around the edges. Everyone smiles and shakes his or her head in disbelief that this sound is emerging from a 15-year-old. You can see it for yourself at Tilson’s weekly gig at The Rock House in Wilmette every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. Or listen to his fivesong EP on willtilsonmusic. com. When asked what’s coming up for him next, he smiles and shrugs, typical of his easygoing attitude. “I think there’s another album in the works,” he says. “We’re getting called up from some different festivals, but nothing I can talk about just yet. We’re planning out the summer; just gigging a lot, and writing a lot, and having fun.”

Combining Corner Cooks and Jerry’s in downtown Winnetka into one space, Leviton — who trained under

THE CHEF STEVEN LEVITON

Jovan Trboyevic at the five-star Le Perroquet — wants his diners’ taste buds to have their day. Which is why, for Leviton’s newest restaurant, Taste on Chestnut, it’s all about interesting flavors. His take on tacos, for example, includes generous chunks of tenderloin tips. Adding cheese, fresh squeezed limes, minced garlic, chili flakes, and Hoison sauce — also known as Chinese plum sauce — is all well and good. But if the beef is chewy or fatty, forget it. Leviton

suggests searing the beef on high heat so the outside caramelizes and gets that melt-in-your-mouth quality. “Like butter,” says Leviton, with a wink. Accompany the steak tacos with Leviton’s own fireroasted Pico de Gallo. Liberally add over the top or keep to a bowl on the side for dipping tacos or chips. Either way, it’ll go fast.

Steak Tacos

1 lb. Tenderloin tips 1 cup Hoisin Sauce 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon chili flakes Grilled corn tortillas Grated queso fresco Fresh lime wedges Fresh-diced Tomato Shredded lettuce Wax paper (to roll tacos) Wood Clips (to hold paper) 1. In a bowl, combine Hoisin Sauce,

minced garlic, and chili flakes and then add the tenderloin tips. Marinade for 30 minutes. 2. Heat a skillet on high, sear tenderloin tips until meat is caramelized. Slightly cool the beef so you can handle and slice the beef into smaller strips. 3. Serve with corn tortillas, queso fresco, lime, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, and Pico de Gallo. Serve with wax paper and wood clips.

Tomato Pico de Gallo 3 plum tomatoes 2 Jalapenos, chopped ½ red onion, chopped 1 cilantro, chopped ¼ tablespoon kosher salt ¼ tablespoon black pepper 1. Prepare all the vegetables, season with salt & pepper, allow to sit at room temperature, then grill or roast

on a very hot grill or broiler. 2. Grill/roast on all sides for 6-8 minutes. Try and work each vegetable group in one at a time for consistency. Jalapenos can take a little time to cook. Onions can handle a little roasting and cooking as well, but you have to pay attention to the tomatoes. 3. Stir until evenly distributed.

How you live in a home is completely different from how you sell a home. The professional home stager is able to look at your home associated with the rooms. Your buyers, however, don’t have that history—that’ll be theirs to make, when they make an offer. When your house is on the market, it’s absolutely critical to create rooms with aesthetically pleasing focal points, direct the flow of traffic between rooms and generate an overall ambience that promotes each room as an oasis of calm, inviting buyers to not think of the property as “your house”, but instead, to see it as “their home”. Color, art and room themes—what’s really important? There’s a reason we trust the services of trained professionals—when you cut corners, you always take a risk. Just as you wouldn’t trust a janitor to perform surgery, you should remember that home sales and Home Staging® are professions like any other, and that by enlisting the services of a trained professional, you’ve shown prospective home buyers how serious you are about the piece of real estate you’re listing. While your friend or family member may indeed have a good “eye” for home design, ask yourself if you’d be willing to keep your home on the market longer, or settle for a lesser offer than your home is worth, just to save a few pennies in having it professionally staged.

FULL SPEED AHEAD

GBS’s Pazmino plans to shift it into high gear at sectional BY KEVIN REITERMAN SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

utting the pedal to the metal is the best way to win a regional championship match. Glenbrook South’s John Pazmino knows that — especially now. “He went into the final a little tentative,” said GBS head coach Tom Mietus. “Once you get into the final and you know that you’re advancing, you can take your foot off the pedal.” Which is like preferring to drive a horse and buggy rather than a red Ferrari . “I needed to pull through it,” said Pazmino. “I have to keep working, keep moving.” A win definitely was there for the taking for Pazmino in the 145-pound final at the Class 3A Glenbrook South Regional on Feb. 7. He was locked in a 1-1 tie until Wheeling’s Jalen Shaw scored a takedown with 30 seconds left in the third period. “I feel like a disappointed my coaches,” said Pazmino, who will head to the sectional with a 19-5 record. Soon after the loss, long-time friend and

former Niles North High School wrestler Danny Khouri played the role of big brother. And he played it brilliantly. He took Pazmino to a quiet hallway and two of them had a long talk. The GBS wrestler needed closure after a tough loss. “He looks out for me,” said Pazmino. “He wrestles well,” said Khouri. “He’s just got to learn how to close out the close ones.” That wrestling brotherhood thing is real. Pazmino experienced it several months ago, when he left Niles North and transferred to Glenbrook South. Mietus didn’t need put a transitional team together to make Pazmino comfortable. “Wrestling? It’s like a cult,” said Mietus. “Just being a wrestler, he was able to fit in right away. Coming to GBS was an easy transition for him.” Being successful wrestler also hasn’t hurt. In addition to earning runner-up honors at the regional, Pazmino claimed the 145-pound

crown at the Central Suburban League championship on Jan. 24. “He’s had a great year for us,” Mietus said. “He’ll turn things around next weekend (at the Barrington Sectional).” Notable: Glenbrook South Ethan Bond and Shawki Rayyan also qualified to the sectional. Bond, a sophomore, edged Palatine’s Gavin Frey 4-3 in the 126-pound third-place match. “Ethan is a hard-nosed kid,” said Mietus. “He just kept battling out there.” Bond finished 3-1 in the tourney. He will take a 24-14 record to Barrington. Rayyan, a junior, topped Wheeling’s Zach Yfanis 12-5 to take third at 220. “He’s a solid kid,” Mietus said. “Strong. The 220-pounders don’t have to be too technical. You can get away with being a bull in a China shop.”

When it came time for senior Cameron Schiller to choose her Integrated Global Studies School (IGGS) project, she focused on TED Talks, an annual conference in Silicon Valley built around the philosophy of “ideas worth spreading.” Schiller recruited her friend and fellow IGSS member, Anna Kahler, to help her manage the project. Under the theme of “Little People’s Big World,” Schiller and Kahler scoured the area for people of all ages to speak. They ended up with 11 speakers — including Kate Bellanca, the chief executive officer at the International Renewal Institute in Chicago, and professor Celeste Napier, a neuroscientist who helped attendees understand the development of the teenage brain.

THROWN FOR A LOSS

GBN’s Weber says struggling team needs to ‘buy’ into the system BY KEVIN REITERMAN SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

avid Weber may have thrown up his hands a few times the other night. But the veteran Glenbrook North head boys basketball coach is not about to throw in the towel. “We’ve got to fight to the end,” said Weber. “We can’t give up.” There’s no denying that the Feb. 6 game at Niles North was a hard watch for Weber. Following his team’s 57-31 to the host Vikings, he was extremely candid. “Our guys won’t run the offense, and you can’t play that way,” said Weber. “We’ve got to play with more patience, more structure,” he added. “We have to run our system. Our guys have to buy into it.” The Spartans were unable to keep up with Niles North’s uptempo pace. The game got away from them in a hurry. “There were some crazy plays, and we took some crazy shots,” said Weber. “All of a sudden, we were down by 20 points.” Senior Pat Hamiton was the lone Spartan to score in double figures. He had 11 points to go along with three rebounds and three assists. Junior Michael Strachnik scored seven points, while fellow junior Jordan Kaplan (4 points, 4 rebounds) and sophomore James Karis (4 points, 5 re-

bounds) also helped out. No doubt, the Spartans (10-12, 3-5), who started the season 8-3, are heading in the wrong direction. On Feb. 7, despite a huge game by Hamilton, GBN dropped its fifth straight game to host Conant 58-47. Hamilton, who finished with 24 points, tallied 22 points in the second half. He knocked down six three-pointers. Weber is doing what he can. “We’ve had a million different starting lineups,” he said. The future, at least, looks promising. The GBN sophomore team has been quite good. Following wins over Niles North and Conant, the Spartans sport a 15-1 record. The starters include four sophs — Brandon Bayzaee, Luke Amen, Tommy Gertner and Matt Pawlowski — and one freshman — 6-foot-3 Kellen Witherell. “They’re good,” said Weber. “They listen. They run our system.” Deerfield Sparked by juniors Jordan Baum and Jeremy Sernick, the Warriors took care of business against v isiting Ma ine West on Feb. 6. Deerfield (15-10, 7-1) won the game 68-51 to maintain its two-game lead over Highland Park and Niles North in the Central Suburban League North.

Baum had a solid all-around game: 16 points, 10 assists and four steals. Sernick once again came off the bench and did some damage. He wound up with 16 points. On Jan. 30, Sernick tallied 10 fourth-quarter points in a comefrom-behind win at Niles North. The Warriors also welcomed back Jack Lieb. The 6-foot-9 senior, who has been sidelined all season with a knee injury, played seven minutes in the contest. He finished with four points and two rebounds. The Warriors, however, came up just short against one of the top Downstate teams, falling to host Lincoln 34-33 on Feb. 7. It was the 20th win of the season for the Railsplitters (20-4). Baum led the Warriors with 10 points and five assists. Jordan Sherman finished with nine points. Glenbrook South Matt Giannakopoulos is turning into a player to watch. Matty G, a 6-foot-3 sophomore guard, pumped in 23 points in GBS’s 68-62 loss to Waukegan on Feb. 6. He was in the middle of GBS’s terrific comeback attempt. After falling behind by 26 points, the Titans (9-12, 2-6) rallied and trimmed Waukegan’s lead to t wo points with 25.1 seconds left. Junior Daniel Jenkins also helped the GBS cause, tallying 15 points.

GBS was looking to build on its 68-54 win over visiting Wheeling on Feb. 3. That victory snapped a seven-game losing streak. Loyola Academy It was a rough shootout for the three North Shore teams on Feb. 7. New Trier dropped a 48-37 decision to Benet Academy in Game One. In Game Two, Fremd rallied to beat Evanston 53-49. And, in the nightcap, host Loyola Academy jumped out to a 12-0 lead but wound up losing to St. Patrick 46-34. Lately, it’s been a tough go for LA. The Ramblers, who will scheduled to travel to St. Joseph on Feb. 10, have lost five straight, including a pair of overtime games. “We knew this would be a tough six-game stretch,” said LA head coach Tom Livatino. “A couple of our losses were excruciating.” But coach Tom Livatino has found something in Peter Poggioli. The 6-foot-5 senior center turned in another terrific performance. To go along with a ton of hustle plays which don’t show up on stat sheet, he finished the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. “I am tremendously proud of Peter,” Livatino said. “His improvement is off the charts. He’s doing things now that he didn’t do earlier in the season.

Moran’s win in third-place bout draws a crowd, clinches regional title for Warriors BY BILL MCLEAN SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

hey came down from the stands in waves, bunches after bunches of Stevenson High School wrestling fans eager to get a closer view of the 220-pound third-place bout between their guy, Stevenson junior Michael Kordek, and Deerfield High School senior Christo Moran at last weekend’s Class 3A Stevenson Regional. They encircled the mat on Feb. 7. Deerfield’s contingent of supporters, 30-plusstrong, chose to stay in the stands. They stood in the stands. They had to stand in the stands because the SHS throng that had migrated to the ground level would have obstructed the view of sitting DHS students, mostly under-level wrestlers. “I’m glad our people stayed in the stands,” Warriors wrestling coach Marc Pechter would say later. “Higher up. People are louder when they’re higher up. They project better from that position.” The Kordek-Moran clash was big, pivotal. The knowledgeable crowd knew it. The coaches and

wrestlers from Deerfield and Stevenson knew it. The coaches and the wrestlers from the other seven schools knew it, the shift in the fans’ vantage points a dead giveaway. The squads from Deerfield and Stevenson each had a shot at claiming the regional team title. It was tight at the top. Only a handful of points separated the teams. The winner of the Kordek-Moran, in essence, would clinch the team title for his school. Moran (28-17) came through, claiming an 8-1 decision to thrill his teammates and coaches and rabid gray-and-red-shirt-clad followers in the bleachers. Deerfield ended up topping Stevenson 184.5177.5 points for its first regional title since 1984, when “Red Dawn” hit movie theaters. “I’m so happy for Christo,” Pechter said. “Bonus points [pins, major decisions] … we needed those. We got those. They helped. Our supporters, up there, they also helped us. That group was our ‘15th man’ [in a meet with 14 weight classes], like a ‘12th man’ helps a football team.” Moran and nine other Warriors qualified for sectional berths last weekend, with four of them

advancing as bracket champions: sophomores Dylan Utterback (106 pounds) and Kyle Clough (113), junior Andrew Mehrholz (138) and senior Brady Glantz (170). Deerfield freshman Kenny Kerstein (120) and junior Sage Heller (160) extended their seasons with runner-up efforts. Senior Patrick Sardi (145) and juniors Nick Kupets (126) and Andrew Grossman (132) survived by taking third in their respective flights. “We’ll enjoy this championship until about 10 p.m.,” Pechter said at about 5 p.m. on Feb. 7. “Then we’ll look at sectional pairings and watch video to see what we have to do in practice to get ready for the sectional.” Mehrholz woke up on Feb. 7, ready to achieve two goals. “Team title, individual title,” he said after routing Stevenson junior Evan Rodriguez 20-5 in the final at 138 pounds. “Our coaches stressed today that we had to be relentless, keep putting points on the board. Our fans in the stands ... they helped us, got us going. It’s nice to hear your name, people cheering for you.” Mehrholz, a cross country runner in his previous athletic life, started wrestling in the fifth

grade, a start he noted is “pretty late.” A PE teacher nudged him toward the sport. Mehrholz will be forever grateful for the suggestion. “I don’t know where I’d be without wrestling,” said Mehrholz, who, five years ago, found himself near the finish line of the Boston Marathon to welcome and congratulate his mother, Kelli. Ten Warriors will vie for sectional berths at the Barrington Sectional on Feb. 14. Deerfield will compete in the dual state tournament against an opponent to be determined on Feb. 24. Notable: Six of Deerfield’s 10 sectional qualifiers, led by Heller’s 40, have won 35 or more matches this winter. The others: Mehrholz (39), Utterback (38), Clough (37), Glantz (37) and Kupets (35). … Glantz, after receiving a firstround bye at 170 pounds, won a 15-0 semifinal and pinned Warren sophomore Andrew Demos at 1:59 in a final. … Deerfield senior Alleman Bulut (10-6) finished fourth at 195 pounds at the regional, missing a sectional berth by a spot.“He’s a solid kid,” Mietus said. “Strong. The 220-pounders don’t have to be too technical. You can get away with being a bull in a China shop.”

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

DEDICATED VOLUNTEER HELPS OUT WHEREVER SHE CAN BY SIMON MURRAY

From 200 vertical miles away, the shopping strip that houses Jay Lovell’s restaurant doesn’t look like much. But through the telescopic lens, one thing does stick out. Across the street from the strip are Fort Sheridan’s residential housing units on the edge of Lake Michigan. But even row upon row of military-style houses, from this height, look merely like the indecipherable etchings on an insect’s carapace. Or, at least, that’s what the images depict, taken from the height of the International Space Station’s orbit. Lake Forest’s Alderman Prue Beidler is a little more down to earth. Offering to meet at Jay Lovell’s eponymous (down to the apostrophe) new restaurant in Highwood, she comes sweeping into the brick-covered restaurant with a smile on her face. She genuinely seems to know everyone —down to the unhappy toddler in the highchair —as she waves and politely greets each of them, in turn; even though, ostensibly, it’s her first time setting foot inside the establishment. Beidler orders the daily special, an omelet, which comes with spinach chard, onions, bacon, potato hash, and whole-wheat toast. “My only homage to goodfor-you food,” notes Beidler, commenting on the whole wheat. After agreeing that her omelet does have its healthy tones — there’s some splotches of green in there, after all — Beidler orders a coffee: half decaf and half regular. “So I can drink more,” she adds. However, I suspect Beidler could imbibe only decaf and still come across as a public service dynamo. A philanthropic workhorse. The Leslie Knope of Lake Forest.

Beidler took office May of last year, after being elected First Ward alderman of Lake Forest’s City Council, but she has been on every not-for-profit under the sun. She admits volunteer work is all she speaks and writes and thinks and talks about, even early on, when she was a public school teacher in Chicago. After a long career of serving on boards that have included the Women’s Board of the Art Institute, Illinois Institute of Technology’s Mies van der Rohe Society, and the LGBT Community Fund of the Chicago Community Trust (all of which she still serves with today), Beidler now describes herself as a full-time volunteer; a public servant of Lake Forest who receives zero compensation. (Lake Forest’s mayor, Donald Schoenheider, whom Beidler describes as a “gifted, natural leader” makes the most on the City Council: taking home $10 a year.) The City of Lake Forest’s mission statement sets out no small order. To “promote a community spirit of trust, respect and citizen involvement” is one thing, a well-intentioned manifesto; but to also “be the best-managed, fiscally-responsible and appealing community” is hardly an easy legislative task. When supporters of Lake Forest’s caucus first interviewed Beidler for the job, they warned her that the biggest thing she would be up against when deciding policy would be finance. “And that’s really been true,” says Beidler. “There’ve been other issues . . . development and so on . . . but the biggest issues are financial and that relates heavily to the state’s financial circumstances. And, frankly, I’m proud to say that we’re in better shape than a lot [of

other municipalities in the state].” The biggest budget contender they’ve had to face since she took office? Pension obligations, which are hamstringing municipalities across Illinois. Fortunately, Lake Forest is able to fund a higher percentage of pensions, thanks, in part, to a well-balanced budget and the dedication of people like Beidler. “But at some point in just becomes untenable with current tax rates,” admits the alderman. “We’ll ultimately be fine because we’re a well-managed municipality, but we are facing exactly the same issues.” Beidler views her current job through the same lens acquired from sitting on boards for more than 40 years. The thread that connects them all? Being able to boil it all down to one prophetic mantra: securing the institution for the future — no matter if it’s Lake Forest College, Lake Forest Country Day School, or Market Square 2000 (which oversaw the redevelopment of one of the country’s oldest shopping centers). Though originally from Champaign, Beidler met her husband, Frank, in college, while she was attending Wellesley and he was studying at Harvard. One of their earliest discussions was about Illinois politics. They planned to move back when they had their first child, and have lived in Lake Forest — Frank’s hometown — ever since. “He’s the original Lake Forester,” acknowledges Beidler. Frank has followed Prue’s

meetings on TV. When the city council convened in early July last year, it was to discuss the proposed construction of a 45,000-square-foot Whole Foods store on about eight acres of land in the Amberley Woods development. Though the plans were eventually nixed, Beidler came home to Frank’s approving vote of confidence. “That might be the finest example of government at work that I’ve ever witnessed,” he told his wife. Next thing we know, the owner, Mr. Lovell himself, walks through the door in hat and scarf and b-lines it for the kitchen. “I sat next to his father at a

par t y at Lake Forest College,” Beidler tells me. His father, of course, being James “Jim” Lovell, who piloted Apollo 8’s command module during the first mission to enter lunar orbit, and who was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the movie “Apollo 13” for his role as commander of that ill-fated mission. Both the older Lovell and Beidler would eventually serve together on the college’s board, but at that moment — though it’s hard to believe it — Beidler had no idea who he was. The placeholder might’ve been the reason, having only one name to distinguish him by: “Jim.” On the car ride home, Frank was thunderstruck. “It must have been an amazing experience to talk to commander

Lovell,” he said. “And I went — ‘What?’ ” says Beidler, laughing. Frank was incredulous. After explaining to his wife who he was — “Apollo 13!” — she could hardly believe it herself. “I was next to Jim Lovell, and I talked to him about children and grandchildren,” says Beidler in disbelief, “and he couldn’t have been nicer. He was wonderful to serve with on the Lake Forest College Board. He’s a true hero nationally, but certainly in Lake Forest.” Of course, Beidler would know. She’s something of a hero herself.
