Men’s salon takes advantage of grooming craze By Selena Fragassi

hether one blames it on “Mad Men,” the recent beard craze or the persistent obsession with youthful appearances, male grooming is at an all-time premium — and retailers and salon owners are finding an opportunity to attract a growing client base. According to Statista, the global male grooming market will be worth $21.4 billion by 2016, up from $17 billion in 2012 and on a steady upswing. A further report by CNBC finds this so-called “mampering” trend to be overtaking the U.S. at rapid rates. While specialty shops like The Art Of Shaving and Q Brothers (an arm of Merz Apothecary) and male-catered salons like Wax Man Spa and HALO for Men have been popping up all over Chicago, men on the North Shore now

have a new spot to call home. In March, Eighteen Eight Men’s Salon (stylized as 18|8) opened in the Glenbrook Market Place. It’s name is a metaphor for transforming men to look their best and scientifically refers to the chemical interaction of chromium and nickel to create polished stainless steel. The salon is described on its website as “an upscale haven that caters [to] and understands the specific genetic styling and grooming needs of a man” that’s free of “wall-to-wall estrogen, French fashion magazines, gossip rags and the smell of fried perms.” Think of it as a new breed of the man(scaping) cave. Though the chain is native to California, it is expanding and this is its first location in Illinois. It is owned by Ash Seth, a beauty novice and former management consultant. Services range from traditional haircuts and styling to color treatments including highlights, face, scalp and nail treatments, shaving upkeep and nose, ear and eyebrow waxing done at 11 semi-private stations. There’s even an option for groom party packages and a VIP membership with exclusive perks. They also sell several brands of shampoo, conditioner and beard and mustache products.

Garbage in, garbage out

Which North Shore town produces the most waste—and where does it go?

ith spring-cleaning season upon us, we wanted to know the details about trash collection in the suburbs. Using data provided by several North Shore administrations, we calculated the annual per capita totals of household waste disposal. We also looked at recycling and yard waste data. Winnetka residents are at the top of the heap when it comes to annual household waste disposal, but the 808 pounds of garbage per person is somewhat skewed because the residential refuse total provided by the village contained some commercial refuse as well, said Winnetka Public Works Analyst Dan Lee. Lake Forest residents throw out 702 pounds of household waste per person. Highland Park residents, meanwhile, toss 459 pounds of household trash per person — the least amount compared to the other suburbs we evaluated. Here’s how seven North Shore communities handle garbage, recycling and yard waste; information comes from public works officials from each community and reflects 2014 totals.

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

FIRST WORD

It’s been a real game changer

David Sweet

erhaps watching dozens of tuxedo-clad college players descend from high-end buses before strolling to a gold carpet triggered the thought it would be different this time. Or perhaps the black Labrador sniffing my laptop carrying case for incendiary devices outside the Auditorium Theatre prompted the musing. Or it could have been Buckingham Fountain changing colors each time National Football League teams announced their No. 1 draft pick among thousands of festivalgoers. Of course, those scenes took place outside. Inside the doors, the predraft introduction of No. 1 prospects by an emcee who sounded like a dance club veteran seemed a tad different from that Saturday afternoon in New York City in 1996. So were video boards and a movie screen showing football highlights. Beyond the unending chants of “J-E-T-S!” inside the Theater at

Madison Square Garden 19 years ago, little excitement infused the NFL Draft that day, the only other draft I had covered until the prime-time spectacle in Chicago on April 30. The streets around the Garden were filled with many who likely had no idea the annual selection of college talent was occurring a field goal away. Inside the New York theater, there was nothing to look at, nothing to do. Those smart enough to bring a newspaper or magazine could engage themselves in the days before iPhones; others just stared, counting the seconds in boredom until the next pick, envying the TV audience who watched talking heads assess the ramifications of a just-announced selection. Give the league credit: The NFL Draft has become not just a must-see television event but a must-attend event. Despite expected glitches for a first-time attempt (or, to be exact, the first draft in about half a century in Chicago), passionate fans enjoyed

“Beyond the unending chants of ‘J-E-T-S!’ inside the Theater at Madison Square Garden 19 years ago, little excitement infused the NFL Draft that day.” the football-crazed weekend in the city. Back in the 20th century, the league didn’t really think about engaging the few thousand fans on site, given that the big fish was the TV audience. Today, it not only keeps the

auditorium audience entertained but draws a stream of visitors to NFLrelated fun in the vicinity. Of course, Bear fans cared not about the bells and whistles in the auditorium once the seventh pick arrived. Cheers erupted when the Lake Forest-based franchise announced wide receiver Kevin White as its top choice, eliminating a few bad memories of No. 1 picks (Shea McClellin?) which caused consternation and ultimately despair among the faithful. And those usually boisterous Jets fans? Their J-E-T-S cheers were so meek compared to that day in Manhattan, it was like the difference between the yipping of a Chihuahua and a roar of a Bear. Enjoy the weekend.

Fight against Parkinson’s comes to North Shore By Selena Fragassi

he Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates that more than 60,000 people are diagnosed with the condition each year. That staggering statistic, coupled with new research showing that targeted exercises can actually slow the progression of the disease, have inspired two local fitness groups to offer new programs specifically designed for this population. Eric Johnson sta r ted Movement Revolution in 2014 as a personal training service for people with physical impairments from arthritis or strokes

and chronic diseases like Parkinson’s. It was something Johnson was affected by firsthand as a physiologist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. “I saw the need to offer that on a wider scale, not just in downtown Chicago,” he said. Today, Movement Revolution is a home-based service that services residents (mostly age 65 and older) in and around the North Shore. As well Johnson rents studio space at the Trainers Club in Northbrook for those “who can benefit psychologically from going to a location,” he said.

“People with disabilities often don’t think they can exercise or think that this is the end of life as they know it whereas it’s really important to continue being active,” he noted. “There is research that the incidence of re-injury or progression of a disease is high if someone is not following a fitness program.” Johnson targets the exercises to each individual client and said results depend on the stage or severity of the illness. “It could be six months or two years to see results, but I hope with each client to reach a level where they don’t need me

anymore and can exercise on their own and live their lives,” he says. He points to one example of a client who had poor balance and was generally weak; a goal of hers was to get back to her favorite hobby of golfing and be able to travel again on her own to visit her grandchildren in college. Together she and Johnson began working on core strength and intensive exercises pushing her heart rate to a safe level. “She didn’t like me a whole lot initially,” Johnson joked. But today, she has progressed to the point now that she uses

no assisted devices and is almost fully independent and travels to visit Johnson in his offsite gym. It’s a similar reaction that Samuel Rodriguez Jr. finds with his clients at Falcon Boxing Gym. In December, the Glenview fitness center started offering a local chapter of Rock Steady Boxing, “the only boxing program of its kind that teaches the fundamentals of boxing while focusing on overall fitness and well-being for those living with Parkinson’s Disease.” The workouts are non-contact and offer training in optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination,

footwork and overall strength. “My favorite story is of one of our boxers that was initially dependent on his wheelchair. Now, the only time he uses his wheelchair is to rest in between activities,” said Rodriguez. The program has 10 participants who meet Tuesday and Thursday afternoons; the youngest is in their 30s while the oldest is in their 80s. There is also a similar boxing program offered called Jordan’s Corner that works with children and teenagers with special needs (they will host a fundraiser at Falcon Boxing Gym on May 9).

ArcLight unveils unique cinema experience in Glenview BY JAKE JARVI

he more accustomed people get to watching movies on their big TVs at home, the less accustomed they are to movie-theater etiquette. People talk loudly to their friends, light up their cellphone screens in the middle of a dark theater, take phone calls without heading to the lobby — the list of inconsiderate distractions rolls on. It’s different these days in Glenview. “The whole design of ArcLight is about layers of discovery and minimizing distractions,” says Steve Green, vice president of operations for ArcLight Cinemas. The ArcLight Glenview, which opened its doors in the former Regal Glen 10 in The Glen Town Center on May 1, is a cinema experience developed in Hollywood to prioritize the communal theatrical experience. All 10 auditoriums feature a

black-box design aesthetic — featuring dark seats, floors, and walls — keeping the screen the bright focal point of the room. The projection and audio equipment are designed to exceed THX standards of presentation excellence. The auditoriums forgo preshow entertainment, run no commercials, and show only three previews before each feature. Each film is introduced by an ArcLight employee, who then remains in the auditorium for the first few minutes of the feature to insure projection and sound are up to their standards and that no one in the auditorium is causing distractions. ArcLight was the first theater chain in the nation to offer reserved seating in every auditorium. You choose your seats the way you would for a flight, on one of several touchscreen kiosks in the lobby or online ahead of time. They have a massive “departure board” in the lobby with countdown times to each film screen-

ing. Sale of tickets stops five minutes after a film’s start time and, to further minimize distractions, seating stops 10 minutes after a film starts. Even the presentation of concessions has been designed to keep them as distraction-free as possible. You’ll find no rustling paper or plastic containers; popcorn and candy come in boxes. The concession stand and the adjacent bar also integrate many local vendors. Five out of six beers on tap are local, from breweries such as Revolution Brewing Company in Chicago and Emmett’s Brewing Company in Palatine, and fresh bread is delivered from a Chicago bakery daily. To further capitalize on their motto of being “Where movie lovers belong,” they have a bistrostyle café serving small bites and a full bar menu for after-film discussions and a gift shop featuring books on film and a variety of goods related to both the films they show and film history and

The Glenview location is only the second ArcLight location in the nation outside of California, Maryland got one last November, and a Chicago location will be opening in Lincoln Park come September.

Sacred Heart principal prepares to say farewell BY HOLLY MARIHUGH

very day for the past 17 years, she has loved getting up and going to school. Sister Kathleen Donnelly, principal of Sacred Heart School in Winnetka, is entering the final chapter of her career. In June, she’ll retire as leader of 255 students and 24 teachers. Just a few weeks from now, she’ll chat with one last parent, share a cup of coffee with one last teacher, and smile at one last student before waving good-bye. A Sacred Heart graduate herself, she remembers walking or biking to school from Glencoe to Gage Street as a young girl. “We played basketball, volleyball, and football back then,” she remembers. “Everybody was on a team because there were no cuts. It’s the same today.” That spirit of a warm community, on display like a trophy in a case, makes Donnelly proud. The school has a buddy program where younger students are paired with older students who shepherd them through shared learning experiences. Students have the chance to step up and speak in front of an audience and applaud each other. Kids as young as four build confidence this way when facing their peers. Finally, the school invites speakers with unique perspectives to meet students and talk about life’s hurdles and challenges. “I’ve always felt that we have four schools in one,” Donnelly says. The school body spans kids ages 3 to 14. To take advantage of what the different age groups can teach each other, Sacred Heart’s buddy program links students to double the learning. “The little kids are so proud to know the older kids by name. We’re all together in the same building for so many years that we get to know each other really well,” she says.

Standing tall in front of a crowd and speaking is scary even for adults so Donnelly believes in starting early to capitalize on getting support from a captive audience, also known as classmates. “At first, some kids are afraid of their own shadow,” she says. “So we try to give everyone an opportunity to read publicly. By the time our students graduate, they’ve all read in church in front of many other people.” Saturating the atmosphere with respect is an aim for everyone at Sacred Heart, says Donnelly, and one way the school does it is to invite in speakers with special perspectives. This school year, speed skater Patrick McCarthy came to pump up the kids before a mini-walkathon to raise funds for Special Olympics. He described his heady experience of winning a gold medal in the 2013 PyeongChang Winter Games. “The way our kids listened to him and applauded him multiple times was so sweet,” Donnelly says. During her tenure, she says the biggest transformation she’s seen the students embrace wholeheartedly is technology. Going from chalk-dusted black boards to sleek Smart Boards in the classroom has been a big, but welcomed, transition. The switch, in essence, was one of carting in the future where sparks of learning fly. “I think technology has made it easier for kids to explore and investigate deeper into topics that they particularly love and enjoy,” she says. It’s the warm embrace of school communit y that Donnelly believes is the catalyst for connection among the students. And she wants to be remembered for it. “I would hope I would be remembered for my heart,” she says. “For being welcoming, loving, and caring of our kids.”

After more than 39 years serving in the Glenview Park District, Cheryl L. Deom retired from her position as superintendent of special facilities overseeing the Glenview Ice Center, Tennis Club, Park Golf Club, and Prairie Club. “It was a difficult decision to retire because I truly love my job,” said Deom. “I’ve enjoyed offering recreational programs to Glenview residents.” Deom has received numerous awards for her commitment to improving quality of life through park district programs, including the 2014 Robert Artz Lifetime Achievement Award by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association. Among her many accolades, she was the first community center director for the district and the youngest to ever be offered the superintendent position — a post she accepted when she was 27 years old.

A number of road improvement projects have gotten underway or will be starting soon in the Glenview area. The east and north legs of the intersection of Harms Road and Glenview Road is closed to traffic until June 1, and Harms Road from Glenview Road to Wilmette Avenue is closed to traffic until mid-September. This construction is attributed to the East of Harms Regional Stormwater project, which will help ease flooding for 1,150 homes in the area. The Illinois Department of Transportation is also resurfacing Milwaukee Avenue from Glenview Road south to south of Touhy Avenue; resurfacing Golf Road from west of Potter Road to Lincoln Avenue; and repairing bridge joints on the railroad overpass on Milwaukee Avenue north of Glenview Road. Daytime lane closures along these roads should be expected until mid-August.

The Glenview Park District’s Thor-Guard Lightning Detection and Warning System has been activated throughout the district. Designed to detect lightning before it strikes, the Thor-Guard systems are activated each year during the outdoor athletic season. Thor-Guard units are located at Gallery Park, Attea Middle School, Crowley Park, Flick Park, Roosevelt Park, Community Park West, Apollo School, Glenview Park Golf Club, and Glenview Prairie Club. They are tested on the first Tuesday of every month between 9:30-11 a.m. When the system detects high levels of electrical activity, the unit sends one 15-second horn blast to signal that outside activities should be suspended. If equipped, a strobe light will begin flashing and remain flashing until safe conditions return. When ThorGuard determines that the threat of lightning strikes has passed, three 5-second blasts are emitted and the strobe light will shut off.

Not a hard pill to swallow

A teenager’s diabetes ‘miracle’ has spurred a law, prompted a documentary—and made history By Simon Murray

illy Jaffe is not your average 15 year old. Confident and well-spoken, the freshman at Wolcott School in Chicago prefers to let her body do the talking: performing musical theater and dance with dance companies in the city and on the North Shore.Her favorite form of dance is contemporary, which stresses the torso and improvisation — and is often done in bare feet. “You get to use a lot of emotion,” says the Winnetka resident. “You’re basically telling a story through the dance.” If Lilly’s own story were ever to be told in a dance routine, it would be a theatrical metamorphosis. Onstage, she would shed the surgically precise movements of a young Type 1 diabetic. Gone would be the nightmarishly routine pricks and needles, the methodical testing of blood sugar by her concerned parents, the insulin pumps. In their place would be a breakdown of rigid structure in favor of spontaneity. Her dance, as did her life, would take on a newfound fluidity, freedom, and independence. That’s because, as a child, an inexpensive pill radically changed Lilly’s life. Laurie Jaffe, Lilly’s mother, had never wanted to be a helicopter mom for any of her kids, let alone a hovering medevac. But when Lilly was diagnosed one month after being born with Type 1 diabetes, she had to be

ever vigilant — first with insulin injections, then with checking her daughter’s blood-glucose levels after she was placed on an insulin pump. “A lot of management and hovering,” remembers Laurie at their Winnetka home. “And taking a lot of the freedom out of [any of Lilly’s] sports or dances. It was a 24/7 job to manage her diabetes.” At one point Laurie, and her husband Mike, were having to test Lilly’s blood-glucose at least 10 times a day — routinely waking up in the middle of the night to make sure it wasn’t too high or too low. Twice, a terrified Laurie watched Lilly experience a seizure. “I used to run away from my Mom actually,” recalls Lilly. “I’d be like, ‘Don’t stick me with the needle!’” For a long time, Type 1 diabetes was called juvenile diabetes to reflect the overwhelming amount of cases diagnosed in children and teenagers. That hasn’t changed: more than 15,000 children are diagnosed each year with Type 1 in the United States, according to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The name was changed to reflect the fact that doctors were diagnosing roughly 15,000 adults each year as well. The latest statistic puts the number of Americans living with Type 1 at three million. Of that number, it’s estimated that 85 percent are adults. And yet, unlike Type 2 diabetes, which is directly

linked to obesity and a lack of exercise (and is growing at an alarming rate nationwide), the onset of Type 1 has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. While its causes aren’t fully understood, Type 1 occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The pancreas stops producing insulin —or the hormone that enables people to receive energy from food — which causes eating and physical exertion to send the body’s blood sugar levels on a dangerous roller coaster ride. Once diagnosed, people are dependent on insulin injection or a pump to regulate their bloodglucose levels for life. Says Laurie: “Insulin was [Lilly’s] lifeline. So that meant having to physically hold her down sometimes while she was kicking and screaming to put the pump in.” Laurie and Mike fully expected their daughter to live a life tied to insulin dependence. So when they attended the Illinois Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s annual meeting, they never could have imagined hearing anything to the contrary. What they didn’t know, however, was that a scientific discovery had been made in the United Kingdom. There, it was discovered by Drs. Frances Ashcroft and Andrew Hattersley that not only were there more than two types of diabetes, as had been previously thought.

There was potentially hundreds, maybe thousands, and these rare genetic mutations — generalized by the name monogenic diabetes — could be cured by a drug called sulfonylurea, which was already being used to help manage Type 2 diabetes in patients. Dr. Louis Philipson, medical director of the Kovler Diabetes Center of the University of Chicago, presented the U.K. study to the JDRF’s Illinois Chapter, showing that some children and adults diagnosed with Type 1 had already been cured with the common oral medication. Mike approached Dr. Philipson after the presentation, telling him that Lilly — who had, by then, been on a pump for years — seemed to match the profile: diagnosed with neonatal diabetes before the age of 12 months. Lilly was given a simple saliva DNA test. The results came back a few days later: Lilly had tested positive for one of these rare mutations. “People talk about doing things by the book,” says Mike. “For Lilly, there was no book at all.” A month later, Lilly was admitted to the University of Chicago’s Clinical Research Center. A weeklong test program was administered to gauge if the oral treatment could work. Starting her off with a small dose of the medicine, at the same time, the Center cut her insulin dose in half. Over the course of the week, her oral medication was increased each day, while her insulin dose was de-

creased. For the first time in her six and a half years, tests showed that Lilly was producing her own insulin. The Jaffes were overjoyed. History had also been made: Lilly was the first person in the U.S. to have benefitted from the U.K. study. “That’s why it was so amazing. Here, Lily had never made insulin in her life. But all of a sudden [her body was] perfectly making insulin,” says Laurie. Adds Mike: “Here’s kind of the simplified version: Your blood sugar is affected by intake and metabolism — metabolism obviously affected by exercise. With the pills, her body regulates it all.” Now, the Jaffes are dedicated to spreading Lilly’s story, which has enlightened close to 100 children and adults in the U.S. about monogenic diabetes, which, in turn, has led them from taking insulin shots to oral medication — effectively creating a cure. It has also helped the passing of Illinois House Bill 2481 — known as Lilly’s Law — that has established a registry of Illinois children diagnosed with neonatal diabetes before the age of 12 months.

from Insulin,” which will air this summer on WTTW-11, has taken five years to complete. It chronicles Lilly’s story: from diabetic baby to insulin free child — as well as the countless other families her story helped to find their own cure from the dependence on insulin. Produced by the Jaffes, it includes dozens of interviews with doctors and families from all over the world. (Its closing credits pay tribute to the late Pete Gorner, the long-time science writer for the Chicago Tribune who broke Lilly’s story in his final days battling cancer.) Last year, Lilly took part in a jazz lyrical dance. A combination of ballet and jazz, the dancers came out to a medley of music that featured Lady Gaga’s “Applause.” The song starts: “If only fame had an I.V., baby could I bear/Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here.” But any parallels to the insulin-dependent Lilly Jaffe are a long ago bad dream put to rest. “It was really fun to do, it took a lot of energy,” says Lilly, adding that the choreographer treated them like they were professional dancers. And someday, that’s exactly what Lilly hopes to be.

divorce summons via Facebook?

Joanna Brown

f you met a friend for coffee and heard that her boyfriend broke up with her via voicemail or email, you’d waste no time lighting into him, right?

How disrespectful, I’d start with, followed by some reference to a note passed in junior high school. So I was similarly appalled by a recent report out of New York. A

Manhattan Supreme Court ruled March 27 that Ellanora Baidoo may send a divorce summons to her husband (who has no known permanent residence nor place of employment) via Faceboook; her attorney will communicate with the husband via private messages. Specifically, the attorney will send one message per week for three consecutive weeks, or until the husband acknowledges receiving the information. While an in-person summons should be the preferred method of serving a spouse with divorce papers, the court ruled, social media can be used as a last resort. Within the last 10 years courts have allowed email to be used in similar cases, in was noted, and so social media is the next logical extension. While the method is allowed, that doesn’t make it right. Consider the relationships you’ll end most often in this lifetime: those with an employer. No professional worth his or her salary would advocate for quitting a job via text

message, email or social media (though some companies now require a letter of resignation via email, best delivered after a faceto-face discussion with a manager).

“A company surveyed couples who had been in a relationship that ended in the last year and found that 56 percent of respondents had ended their relationship digitally.”

Consider some of the most outrageous public resignations. Viewers nationwide watched an Alaska news anchor resign with a curse word on the 10 p.m. broadcast in September in order to spend more time advocating for medical marijuana. Not only did she reporter make her point to management, she drew national attention for her advocacy group. A Taco Bell manager offered the same four-letter salute to his (former) employer on the glowing sign over the highway along with his resignation “I quit – Adam.” If I, too, had worked 22 days in a row so that I could have July 4 weekend off to travel with friends, I would have thought the same thing about a supervisor who changed his mind about the arrangement. The effort Adam made to express it is staggering. And then there was Greg Smith, who resigned his position at Goldman Sachs in a 2012 op-ed in the New York Times. He called out the investment

firm’s business principles – and likely grew interest in a memoir he published later that year. Book critics, however, were not swayed. There’s no question that we’ve all thought and said some pretty extreme things about our past employers, but we’ve had enough respect for ourselves and our colleagues to terminate the relationship in person. I believe we’d best do the same for our marital partners, no matter how much effort it takes to track them down. But maybe my feelings on this show my age. Coupon company Voucher Cloud surveyed couples who had been in a relationship that ended in the last year and found that 56 percent of respondents had ended their relationship digitally.

Giving mac and cheese a little kick

head Chef Hilario Clavijo By Simon Murray

n the difficulty scale of cooking, macaroni and cheese — or “mac and cheese,” as it’s known in dorm Chef rooms and family kitchens — ANDY MOTTO trends closer to breakfast cereal than galantine or soufflé. A dish of English origin, one of the earliest recipes was recorded in “The Forme of Cury” (Forms of Cooking) written in the 14th century by the Master Cooks for the court of King Richard II. The simple recipe states: “Take and make a thynne foyle of dowh. Kerve it on peces, and cast hem on boillyng water and seeþ it wele. Take chese and

(model)

grate it and butter cast bynethen and above as losyns [a dish similar to lasagna] and serue forth.” Serve forth “a pie called macaroni” is exactly what Thomas Jefferson did at a state dinner in 1802. Jefferson had encountered the dish during his time in Paris and became enamored with it, drawing a sketch of the pasta and writing detailed notes. But not everyone at the state dinner shared his enthusiasm. “Dinner not as elegant as when we dined before,” noted one guest, who took a special dislike to the macaroni. “[It] appeared to be a rich crust filled

with strillions [sic] of onions, or shallots … tasted very strong, and not agreeable.” But tasting very strong is not always a bad thing. At Nick’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill in Wilmette, the head chef, Hilario Clavijo, has added his own twist to a classic American comfort food dish, making it no less complicated in preparation (aside from marinating and cooking pork shoulder) but more complicated in taste. “It has a little kick — ghost pepper cheese,” says Clavijo with a mischievous smile, adding, “You can make it at home, people who like it spicy or without spice. It’s easy to manage the dish.” Clavijo, it should be noted, likes a little spice. So many of the dishes — soups, salsas, pico de gallo, ceviche, roasted tomato sauce — at Nick’s share his zest. But after trying the mac and cheese, its really more flavorful than anything else. That’s also part of what makes Nick’s so appealing. Calvijo will use Al’s Meat Market across the street for the pork shoulder, get his charcoal from Backyard Barbecue, retrieve ice cream from Homer’s Ice Cream, and make daily specials based on what he can find at the farmers market during the summer. Meaning: sometimes, it’s the littlest of things that make the biggest difference.

Nick’s Restaurant’s Spicy “Three Way” Mac and Cheese Total Time: 6 hours Serves: 8

10 pounds pork shoulder 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 tablespoons onion powder 3 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon oregano 3 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon black pepper 2 tablespoon salt Mix all the ingredients. Cut the pork in half. Marinate the pork and smoke it for three hours (if cooking in oven, cook for five hours). Then turn your oven to 350 degrees. Place the pork in a heavy-duty pan with four cups of apple juice and two cups of water. Cover with foil and cook for three hours or until the meat is tender enough to shred.

Cheese Sauce 3 cups cheddar, shredded 3 cups Gouda, shredded 2 cups ghost pepper Monterey Jack, shredded 2 tablespoon garlic 2 tablespoon black pepper ½ gallon heavy cream

SPORTS

sports The one and ‘Nonie’

Andersen brings an international flavor to GBS girls lacrosse team BY bill mclean sports@northshoreweekend.com

oreen “Nonie” Andersen is comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. It is some 10 minutes after the senior middie and her Glenbrook South High School lacrosse teammates had lost 9-7 in overtime to visiting New Trier High School. She scored four goals and delivered two assists against last year’s state runner-up on April 30. Significant stats. Only nine seconds had elapsed when she tallied the game’s first goal. A fast stat. A stranger wants her take on the game, her thoughts about lacrosse, her thoughts about her … life, her past, her impressive present, her promising future. Andersen is comfortable because she might be the wittiest and most engaging, funloving, insightful teenager in Cook County and a studentathlete who relishes any opportunity to communicate with anybody. Andersen also is uncomfortable because she firmly believes all 25 of her teammates deserve to be interviewed. “We have amazing athletes on this team,” she says. “You can’t do anything in this sport by yourself; you need teammates to help you. That’s the biggest thing about this sport, and that’s one of the reasons I love this sport. It’s also fun, fast, physical. That goal I scored [at the start of the game], that wasn’t just me. I didn’t win the faceoff. “The other goals I netted today? Don’t think my team wouldn’t have been able to score just as many goals without me.” Typical Nonie Andersen. The last thing she wants is the focus — any kind of focus — on her. Microscopes belong in labs, not on a sideline after a lacrosse game between two of the top teams in Illinois. “Nonie is always looking to give credit to her teammates,” says senior attack Jane Brennan, a fourth-year varsity member like Andersen. “She is eager to talk about her teammates instead

of herself. Always eager. That’s Nonie.” Hip surgery kept Andersen on the Titans’ sideline for the entire season last spring, when Glenbrook South won its fourth straight sectional championship and finished fourth at the state tournament. She dubbed herself “captain of the bench” in 2014 and still made quite an impact. She spoke loudly and enthusiastically but did not carry a big stick. Andersen is back where she belongs this spring — on lacrosse fields — and doing all sorts of game-changing things. Her speed and stick skills and savvy bother opponents and elate Titans teammates and coaches and fans. She plans to play lacrosse for Princeton University next spring and for the Ireland national women’s team in the World Cup this summer. The holder of a dual citizenship flew to Ireland to try out for the national team. Irish coaches liked

her abilities. She flew back to U.S. as an international lax player. “Nonie has an amazing w ork ethic,” Glenbrook South girls lacrosse coach Annie Lesch says. “She’s had that work ethic since the first day of her freshman year. She pushes herself. She is never satisfied. She wants to beat everybody for every groundball in practices. Her teammates see that, and they push themselves. “We have a lot of competitive players on this team.” Andersen ranks in the top three among teammates in goals and assists. The Titans (14-3) had won 12 straight before falling to New Trier last week. They edged a strong squad from Ohio, Sycamore High School, 8-7 on their home turf May 2, before bowing 14-12 to reigning state champion Loyola Academy on May 4. Andersen had played baseball for years before entering Glenbrook South as a freshman in

2011. Girls are not allowed to play baseball in high school because softball is available to them as an option in the spring. She searched for another spring sport. She found lacrosse. Brennan’s father, John, is an Illinois Elite Lacrosse Club coach. Andersen caught one of her first lacrosse balls from Jane Brennan when the two were eight-graders. John Brennan helped Andersen develop her game from there. Her passion for lacrosse and Glenbrook South’s program was on display shortly after the loss to New Trier last week. She delivered a brief speech to her teammates. It was fiery, encouraging, inspirational. Everybody listened, teammates and coaches. “Part of my message was, ‘You can go home and be upset about the loss,’ ” says Andersen, a guitarist for a band, Purple Apple. “But I wanted to make sure they would also use that feeling to benefit us later in the season, to

channel that emotion in a positive way. We’ll do that.” Andersen is the daughter of a retired judge, Wayne, a big fan of donuts. Each Friday he personally delivers several boxes of donuts to Glenbrook South High School. A radio teacher gets one. A dean gets another box. Lesch receives the third. Educators and students devour the donuts, cherry-filled treats (and other kinds) from a cheery man. “Some Fridays,” Nonie Andersen says, “I don’t even get one.” She shrugs. She smiles. Andersen intends to major in ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton. She wants to be a research scientist. “I want to work on an ocean,” Andersen says. Lucky plankton. Lucky sharks. “Nonie is a genius, with an unbelievable wit,” Jane Brennan says. “It’s always entertaining,

being around her. You should hear the little puns she comes up with … they’re hilarious. They’re smart.” Notable: Brennan, senior middie Olivia Eigel and junior middie Sarah McDonagh scored the Titans’ other goals in the 9-7 OT loss to New Trier last week. The game doubled as a cancer awareness event. Glenbrook South donated funds to the American Brain Tumor Association and played in honor of Will Hicks, who died from a brain tumor at the age of 25 in 2010. His sister, Lily, played lacrosse a Glenbrook South before Will’s diagnosis. … Glenbrook South is ranked third in Illinois and third in the Midwest by laxpower.com. Loyola Academy (16-2) and New Trier (13-2) are 1-2 in both the state and Midwest rankings. … McDonagh scored the game-winner in South’s 8-7 defeat of visiting Sycamore (Ohio) on May 2.

Making huge strides Former skateboard fanatic Chatterton turns into a force for GBN BY HUNTER TICKEL | sports@northshoreweekend.com

igh school can be one of the most taxing transitions that a person goes through. There is the expectation of growing into an adult and finding a career passion on top of going through adolescence. The pressure can be stifling, especially when you throw in a varsity sport on top of all that. These were some of the obstacles that faced current volleyball attacker Rob Chatterton as he began his journey as a student-athlete at Glenbrook North four years ago. Prior to his freshman year, he mainly kept to himself. One of his lone hobbies was skateboarding. But at 6-foot-2 — as a 14-year-old — he wanted to step out of his comfort zone. He walked onto the volleyball hard-

wood and stayed there, even though he didn’t leave the best first impression. “Skateboarding was kind of my thing. I would just go ride the board and jump off stairs and rails,” Chatterton said. “Then coach Chris Cooper invited me to open gym. “I went there with red skater shoes, some athletic shorts that were too big on me and a tank top,” he added. “I tossed the ball to the center to go hit and missed the ball and landed in the net. As I turned around to get out of the net all the upperclassmen were watching. I thought, ‘This isn’t the sport for me.’ But I put in the work.” This persistence and dedication opened him up to a whole new world. Volleyball became his outlet

to make a name for himself and an opportunity to persevere. “When I was in junior high I had the same small group of friends,” said Chatterton. “I wasn’t open to meeting people. I was shy and stayed at home. As volleyball progressed, I traveled and met new people and realized people aren’t that bad.” Showing a ton of promise, Chatterton dedicated himself to volleyball during his sophomore year. He played club ball in Aurora, practicing four nights a week and traveling more than 90 miles round trip. It took a toll on his school work. “His GPA (grade point average) was not where it needed to be at the end of last year,” said 13th-year GBN boss Chris Cooper. “But his ACT score has

made him eligible to play for some schools.” “It all falls on me,” Chatterton said. “I didn’t put in the work. When I started playing freshman year, I didn’t think this would be the career path I wanted to take. I didn’t think it would become big part of my life. As a freshman and sophomore, I thought I would crawl through school. It’s a shame I couldn’t go to the schools out in California or the other ones that I might’ve wanted to go to. It happens in life. You’ve got to learn to live with it.” Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri is giving him a shot to prove he can master the academic load as an athlete at the next level. The task at hand is doing what he can for Glenbrook North. The

Spartans are approaching their stretch run, and Chatterton, who is now 6-6 and 195 pounds, is the team’s seasoned veteran. So far this spring, he has been a powerhouse. He leads the team in all seven attacking statistical categories. He has 232 kills, 100 more than the No. 2 hitter on the squad, with a 54 percent accuracy rate. He also leads the team with 18 aces and 57 blocks, while he is second with 107 digs. “You can see by the stats that he has become an extremely important part of our success and has become a very good volleyball player,” Cooper said. All because a kid chose the unlikely route and moved from skating to spiking. Now, he posses the mantra of a focused

athlete. “I don’t really think ahead too much,” he said. “I just live in the moment.”

Notable: In a 2-0 win over Highland Park on Tuesday, senior Rob Chatterton paced the squad with 10 kills, two aces and four blocks. The Spartans won the match 25-15, 25-20. Junior Jeremy Doman was 12-for-12 serving with nine kills, five digs and one ace. Junior Dillon Balk had the second best serving night, going 8-of-8. Junior Danny Martens chipped in with nine digs and amassed three assists, while senior Kevin Lee had six digs. GBN improved to 15-9 overall and 5-1 in the Central Suburban North.

Fine & dandy Senior standout is a ‘rock star’ on GBS gymnastics team BY bill mclean sports@northshoreweekend.com

car accident almost left Jeremy Fine fatherless. It happened years ago, when Michael Fine “was 42ish,” says Jeremy, a senior gymnast at Glenbrook South High School. Dad Fine’s left arm did not survive the accident. Dad Fine was hospitalized for a month. “An orthopedic surgeon saved my dad’s life,” Jeremy says. “I love hospitals. They’re cool places to be. So much good goes on in hospitals.” The 5-foot-7, 140-pound Fine wants to be a orthopedic surgeon after he graduates from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in PNP (philosophy-neuroscience-psychology). “Or,” he says, “a rock star.” He is kidding, though anybody who heard Fine’s better-than-fine guitar performance at the school’s variety show in February wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he spends significant chunks of his adult years on stages. Jeremy Fine’s affinity for hospitals also stems from the number of visits he has made to them — as a gymnast. He broke his left wrist as a sixth-grader. He broke and dislocated his right ulna last year. He has dealt with a busted finger or two, a sprained toe or three, a strained this, an achy that. During his freshman year, as a Wilmette Gymnastics club member, something went terribly wrong at the end of one of his floor-exercise flips. His right knee migrated abruptly north, finding a temporary home in the vicinity of his right thigh. A knee does not belong there. Fine, somehow, recovered from that injury. He is in his third season as a Titans varsity gymnastics team member, poised to end his season at the state meet for a third time. Fine finished runner-up in the all-around (49.9 points) at the Central Suburban League Meet at Niles West High School on April 30. He was a 47-point allarounder at the same meet a year ago. “Jeremy got a little better

every year,” says Titans gymnastics coach Brandon Tucker, whose crew finished runner-up (142.8) to Deerfield (145.5) at the league meet. “Club gymnasts … they usually aren’t able to do

that, progress like that. He’s throwing big routines for us again, and he’s hitting them. He was the only returning varsity gymnast [last year], and he kept our program going, kept alive

our program’s streak [25 years] of sending at least one guy to the state meet. “The word we associate with Jeremy around here is perseverance.”

It’s a word Jeremy Fine thinks of when he’s anywhere near his father. Other words come to mind: resiliency, tenacity. Especially tenacity. “My dad is the most tenacious person I know,” the son says. “I try to model myself after him.” Fine also thinks the world of his mother, Laura Fine, Illinois state representative for the 17th District. She is serving her second term. She attended last week’s CSL Meet in Skokie, after working for her constituents, after driving from Springfield. Mom Fine missed the start of the meet. “I can’t fault her for that,” says a chuckling Jeremy. “She is one of the most genuine, heartfelt people I know. She ran for office because she saw a need for change. She fights for what she believes.” A correspondence from a informed youngster living in Laura Fine’s district got the ball rolling on a bill that recently passed unanimously out of the Illinois House. It centered around newborn screening for ALD, a neurological disease. The movie, “Lorenzo’s Oil,” is based on a true story of parents in search of a cure for their son’s ALD. Early detection of the disease is essential to effective treatment. The informed youngster: Jeremy Fine. He had read a piece about the disease and the issue of newborn screening and forwarded it to his mother. Son fed the assist. Mom executed the dunk. The legislation advanced to the Illinois Senate. Jeremy Fine hopes to advance from the preliminaries at state to at least one event final for the first time later this month at Hinsdale Central High School. His strongest events are still rings and pommel horse. “Jeremy does this strength move on rings … it’s pure strength,” Titans junior teammate Clayton Nimz says. “Then he does a swing move, followed by a double-back dismount. It’s ridiculous. He’s been doing gymnastics for so long. He’s got so

much experience, and that radiates in our practices.” Friends watched Fine perform at a home gymnastics meet this spring. It was a first for them. They left impressed, their jaws weary from yo-yo-ing in the bleachers. They had a question for their talented buddy afterward. “They asked me, ‘How do you do those things?’ ” a smiling Fine says. “They said I was crazy.” Crazy good. Notable: Glenbrook South was scheduled to vie for state berths at the Stevenson Sectional on May 7. … Fine placed second on the pommel horse (8.2), third on floor (9.0) and fourth on rings (8.0) at the CSL Meet at Niles West last week. Titans senior Patrick Tener threw a meet-best and personalbest 9.4 vault. Classmate Michal Cymbalisty tied for third place on the pommel horse (personalbest 7.9), while senior Konrad Michalak tied for sixth place on the p-bars with a personal-best 8.5. Freshman Lucas Pauker tied for eighth place on vault (personal-best 8.8), and junior Jack Jantsankhorol contributed a 10th-place 6.8, another personal-best mark, on the pommel horse. GBS senior captain Ryan Fontillas swung to a personalbest 7.0 on rings (13th place). … Fine’s younger brother, sophomore Jacob Fine, is a member of Glenbrook South’s varsity gymnastics team. Glenbrook North: Spartans senior Corey Snyder captured the all-around (50.8) championship at the CSL Meet last week, pacing the Spartans’ fourth-place showing (134.1). He also topped the floor field with a 9.2 and earned a gold medal for his routine on the parallel bars (8.9). Teammate Noah Berkowitz finished fourth on floor (8.9). Glenbrook North also was scheduled to compete at the Stevenson Sectional on May 7. The state meet will be held at Hinsdale Central High School on May 15-16.

Highly motivated

Playing at the next level extremely important to Glenbrook North’s Washelesky BY DAN SHALIN | sports@northshoreweekend.com

ichael Jordan only made the junior varsity team as a sophomore in high school, and he famously used the snub to drive him to greatness — or so the story goes. Similarly, Glenbrook North senior forward Maggie Washelesky said her legendary work ethic on the soccer field can be attributed to a slight, which actually occurred the first time she tried out for a team. “I have always worked hard and given it my best. I think it stems from when I only made the B team for (Northbrook Spartans) U8s. All my friends were on the A team,” Washelesky said. “I knew that I deserved more. That’s where I think it comes from.” A decade later, Washelesky is a senior captain and standout performer for the Glenbrook North Spartans, whose record stood at 6-7-1 after going 2-1 in last weekend’s Glenbrook Cup. Entering this week, Washelesky had eight goals for a team still trying to hit its stride after

a tough early season schedule and the unexpected departure of a few key young players. In April, Washelesky verbally committed to play at Division III Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Glenbrook North coaches and players said the Lady Reds are unlikely to have a player who works harder than Washelesky on and off the field. “This is Maggie’s fourth year on varsity, and she’s improved so much. It’s all effort with her,” Glenbrook North head coach Craig Loch said. “She does have God-given talent, but a lot of (her success) is about hard work, determination and fight. She wants to be a better player.” Washelesky has spent countless hours of her own time at Techny Fields soccer complex working on her game. Teammates said it’s not unusual to see No. 22 outside before school begins getting in some touches on the ball. “She’s the hardest working person I know; her work-rate is phenomenal,” said Spartans

senior defender Kendall Bryant. “She’s the strongest person on the team. She’s focused, determined and relentless in everything she does.” Possessing great pace, creativity, an ability to take on defenders and a fine understanding of the game, Washelesky often lines up where Loch believes she can best exploit a defensive weakness, whether up top, on a wing or in the center of midfield. “She’s good with both feet (though right-footed), can shoot from distance and cross the ball,” the coach said. “She’s a two-way player and can run all day. She has the fight and conditioning to never leave the field.” Yet, in an era when girls soccer players are making college commitments as sophomores and juniors in high school, Washelesky finished the 2014 campaign with little next-level attention. That’s when she made the decision to join another club team, leaving close friends on her longtime local club team for FC United, the Northfield-based program with a glittering repu-

tation for sending players to the college ranks. “I knew playing in college was something I wanted and thought I needed to get a little more exposure,” Washelesky said. “It was hard to leave my friends; I’d been playing with some of them since I was nine. But it was something I had to do to play at

the next level.” Carthage coaches first saw Washelesky play at a club tournament in Palatine. She visited the school last fall, attending a few games. Though there was interest from other Division III and NAIA schools, Washelesky said Carthage appears to be the perfect fit.

“Carthage pursued me the hardest, and I visited and just loved the coach (Sara Meyer), the team dynamic and coach’s philosophy,” she said. “(Coach Meyer) said she wants me to play forward and told me she loves my need to score goals and my drive.”

e was in a K zone. Glenbrook Nor th’s Michael Oh came up with a ‘fan’tastic finish against host New Trier on May 2 at Duke Childs Field. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound junior right-hander put the finishing touches on a 3-2 victory by fanning six of the last seven hitters he faced. “That was about as well as we’ve seen him pitch,” said GBN coach Dom Savino. “It’s not easy to do what he just did, especially against a team like New

Trier.” Oh, who gave the Trevians (12-6-1) a steady diet of offspeed pitches, ended up going the distance on a three-hitter. He allowed no earned runs and finished the game with eight strikeouts and two walks. “(Assistant) coach Dave Lindley called the pitches, and he did it perfectly,” Oh said. “I was able to keep them off-balanced. “It definitely was one of my top games,” he added. “Six strikeouts in a row? Never done

that before.” Even Oh was a little surprised by his K collection. “I didn’t come in trying to strike anyone out,” said Oh, who mixed in a circle change and a sliding 12-6 curve ball with an effective fastball in the low 80s. “We’ve got a great defense, and I was trying to make them hit the ball to someone.” “He did a really nice job of commanding multiple pitches and throwing strikes,” said Savino. “He was able to locate his off-speed pitches and keep

it down in the zone.” Oh, who plays his club ball with Top Tier Americans, figured to be an effective varsity pitcher this spring. Perfect Game USA made him an honorable mention Preseason High School Underclassman All-American. “He’s a talented high school pitcher,” said Savino. “And he’s a team-first guy.” His teammates did just enough on the offensive end in the win over New Trier. Senior center fielder Brice Call scored two runs and went 2-for-4 with

a double. Senior first baseman Brandon LaBunski had two hits, including a towering double to right-center field in the second inning. LaBunski also came up with what proved to be the gamewinning RBI, when his nubber back to the pitcher brought in Call from third base. The other key at-bat belonged to Peter Witty, when his grounder to short scored David Burnside from third base.

Notable: Savino announced that four of his seniors will be playing at the next level next year. The list includes Danny Ahern (UW-Whitewater), Sage Bruhl (Stetson), David Burnside (Rose-Hulman) and Brice Call (Beloit College). … The Spartans (17-5) split their two games with Niles North. In a 10-0 win on April 28, Brandon LaBrunski had two hits and three RBIs while Matt Tedeschi also drove in three runs. Oh was the winning pitcher. On April 30, GBN fell to Niles North 7-2.

Much like the rest of Schuler has a dream Romero Schuler’s oeuvre, the about her art it means, works in Paper Dolls are a stagultimately, there is an internal gering degree of contrasts: simple shift happening in her work. To Romero Schuler, these dreams are never haunting. Instead they —like her paintings — channel strength, perseverance, resilience. So the painter welcomes her nocturnal muses. “I can’t not paint,” says Romero Schuler, matter-of-factly. “I’ll have a physiological breakdown. Things just stop working on so many weird levels if I don’t paint.” It’s a cloudless morning outside, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from where we’re sitting at the Starbucks off Market Square in Lake Forest. Romero Schuler is sipping an iced tea. The blonde artist with the striking blue eyes has painted all of her life, in a variety of mediums. Her internationally recognized Expressionist paintings have been exhibited in Beirut, Art Basel Miami, Paris. and complex, unmistakable and Now for the first time in more ambiguous, impersonal and acthan eight years, her work is being cessible.

the only outlet that provided unending comfort. Romero Schuler grew up in Rogers Park. She is quick to recount her earliest recollection of wanting to be a painter, a story she has told countless times before to journalists who inevitably ask, When did you first realize you wanted to be an artist? For Romero Schuler, it’s hard to separate her identity as an artist — or to pinpoint a time when it wasn’t a foregone conclusion — but there is one memory that springs to mind: in kindergarten, she had a fun, vivacious teacher who encouraged her young artistic mind. And so a crayon drawing of a house with a tree and a sun became a work of art to be fawned over and affixed to the board. From then on, Romero Schuler would try to win a reaction like that every time with her work. In the middle of kindergarten she went to live with her grandparents in Quito, Ecuador. Writing to her parents all the time, in one letter she declared she would be a famous artist by the time she grew up, with her work in a gallery and a RollsRoyce parked in the driveway (since it came with her initials). While she doesn’t have the Rolls-Royce quite yet, she does have a collection of pieces that show an artist deeply in tune with her work. Following the path into

the woods behind her house where she lives with her husband Rick, Romero Schuler is able to squeeze out the hours working while their two boys are in school. Before becoming a mother, Romero Schuler was engaged in painting tight, precise oil paintings of trees. She always emphasized their dormant state, which made them symbolic of humanity: imperfect, vulnerable, scarred. But those paintings took time. And when her family grew, she couldn’t dedicate the same amount to painting. Inevitably, she would be interrupted in her studio with all this paint left on her palette. Hating the thought of being wasteful, she scraped the paint off the palette with a palette knife, smearing the colors together on a blank canvas. After doing this for days, she turned around one day and was surprised to see a face staring back at her between the drying clumps of paint. She played around with the palette knife some more and was shocked again at her discovery: it was her face. This sparked a collection of self-portraits, “every single one of them tied to a very specific instance in my life,” adds Romero Schuler. “I was working out some stuff, I think. But they were good paintings. That’s the first time you’ll hear me say that about my work — I knew they were good.” Inspired by the abstract Ex-

adding rich layered tone and dimension to her work. “As much as they’re still about me — they’re about everyone,” acknowledges the artist. “They’re everyone and no one. The beauty, the allure of them is that they’re nondescript. You can put yourself in them.”
