Home Burglaries Rising in Northbrook By steve sadin dailynorthshore.com

N

ORTHBROOK — After three months with no residential break-ins in Northbrook, four village homes were burglarized in December.

Despite the increase at the end of 2015, residential burglaries are down from the same four months of last year. Even so, Dan Petka, the Northbrook Police Department’s community relations supervisor, cautions residents to take extra care during the holiday season.

“Make it look like your house is being lived in when you’re not there,” Petka said. “Make it look like someone is home from the time it gets dark until you get there around six. Use timers for light and draw your blinds so someone can’t talk around your house and see you’re not there.”

Petka said that from September through December 2014, five houses were hit in September, six Continued on PG 6

The North Shore Roots of Yoko & The Oh No’s

he suburbs of the North Shore have a long and enduring history and presence in the world of modern rock music. Members of Fall Out Boy, singer/songwriter Liz Phair, musicians Jason Narducy and Freda Love Smith, and Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan are just a few music makers with connections to the stretch between Evanston and points north. It’s time to add the trio Yoko & The Oh No’s, featuring magnetic lead singer Max Goldstein (from Highwood) on vocals, drummer Stef Roti (from Wilmette) and bass player Max Loebman, to the list.

It takes more than a clever name to get people’s attention (although it doesn’t hurt) and Yoko & The Oh No’s have been getting plenty, including a mention in the December 2015 Out 100 issue of Out Magazine (featuring President Barack Obama on the cover).

Working in the band’s favor on its eponymous Autumn Tone Records debut is a strong set of tunes, including “Heart Attack,” “Nobody Wants To Know,” “In Pieces,” “Lone Wolf ” and “Who’d Stop Me,” all performed with a youthful exuberance. I spoke with Max Goldstein and Stef about the band and more.

Cell said he gets going with the food drive around the end of October, getting in touch with his customers, colleagues and others he knows. He buys shopping bags from Uline rather

than solicit a donation from a grocery store because those containers hold more goods. The donors fill the bags with food they buy.

“I send out an email letting

them know it’s time for the food drive and when I’ll be in their neighborhood,” Cell said. “Once I get everything done I box it up, take it to my dad’s warehouse, weigh it and get it ready

to deliver.”

The division of food from bag to box is not random, according to Cell. He said he takes care to make sure people are not getting too much of one thing and not enough of another.

When delivery time arrives, usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, Cell and a friend, Tony Perry, make the deliveries.

Perry, a homebuilder who operates A. Perry Homes, donates the use of his truck as well as food.

“I do the shopping myself. I give a message to my employees.

They see what I’m doing,” Perry said. “It’s also my way of seeing people have nutritious food. It works on many, many levels.”

Cell also got some help from home this year. He brought his 14-year-old daughter along when he made deliveries.

“Most people that age don’t have any idea what a ton of food looks like,” Cell said. “Now she does.”

GS: Being a band based in Chicago, home of venerated music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Pitchfork, do Yoko & The Oh No’s have a preference for one fest over the other?

MP: I went to Lollapalooza every year from eighth grade through high school. It’s an amazing festival and it brings a lot to the city. I personally prefer Pitchfork a little bit. It’s a little less overwhelming. I would love to play either of them [laughs], I’ll say that.

GS: Do you think there’s a chance that Yoko & The Oh No’s will be playing one or both this summer?

MG: Hopefully! If we are, we don’t know yet. That’s definitely a goal of ours for the future.

SR: Especially as a hometown

band, it would be great!

GS: Yoko & The Oh No’s have North Shore roots, with you, Max, being from Highwood and Stef being from Wilmette.

Would performing at Ravinia have special meaning to the band?

MG: I worked at Ravinia [laughs]!

GS: What did you do at Ravinia?

MG: I was an usher. I swept garbage in the pavilion. To be honest, it would be awesome to play there. To play for the people I used to work for.

SR: I’ve been there so many times with my family. I don’t know of another concert (venue) around the North Shore that can bring everyone out there. They have all types of music. I’d love

to play there.

GS: What’s next for the band?

SR: We’re going to focus on recording our second album.

We’re also planning to play SXSW (in Austin TX). We’re hoping to get some (show) dates on the way there and back.

MG: We want to go on tour this summer. We’re really looking forward to that.

GS: When do you think the new album will be available?

MG: That’s a good question.

We have the material and we want to get it down while it’s still fresh in our minds. The (songs on) album we just put out is very old for us. We wanted to learn from that, how to play songs that are four years old. We wanted to get those down so that we, as a band, could start moving forward.

“Wheeling is like a small big town . . . Restaurant Row has some world-class restaurants: we have Bob Chinn’s Crab House, [Tuscany], RAM [Restaurant & Brewery], and many of the restaurants that are represented here tonight.”

At their own booth were Executive Chef Peter Menteer and Sous Chef Yo Chang of the Westin. Serving seasonal bisques off their banquet menu, the chefs ended up being a big hit with the attendees, who kept coming back for more of their different colored creamy vegetable soups.

“Some variations may require tweaking here and there with different steps and cooking methods but they all have the same basic base ingredients,” said Menteer. “One thing to keep in mind is that the vegetable needs to be cooked for quite some time in order to have a nice velvety consistency.” He added: “If the veggies are not cooked long enough, your soup will be grainy.”

You hear that he even kept a play date arranged by his folks.

This involved a ride. Stops, starts and bumps in the road couldn’t

have been comfortable for him, what with stitches and the blow-up cast that made him look and feel like a creature from another planet.

But, he ignored all that, and had a great time. He even got a little more active than he was sup-

After the play date, after he got home, you saw Paulie and his folks getting out of their car. He ran up to you, all happy, friendly, full of

LOVE & MARRIAGE

A Look Back at 2015: What Readers Think about divorce

Joanna Brown

A

t this time of year, we can’t help but reflect on where we have been, and where

we are headed. In that spirit, a much younger friend recently recapped an exchange between

her and her boyfriend: “We had a pretty great year,” she told her boyfriend.

“Eh. It was average,” he replied.

I don’t know enough to take sides in their debate (though I’d probably side with her anyway), but I know that I, too, have had a pretty great year in this space.

I am most appreciative of the feedback I’ve gotten f rom readers. I responded to all of it privately, and shared much of it in follow-up columns. This weekend, I’m looking back at the notes I’ve kept in my inbox.

Without question, I receive the most feedback when I write about divorce.

In September I wrote about two Canadians whose selfie went viral. They were smiling ear to ear outside of the courtroom after their divorce was finalized.

Shannon Neuman wrote alongside her photo, “We have respectfully, thoughtfully and honorably ended our marriage in a way that will allow us to go forward as parenting partners.”

Among the responses was a long note from reader Jennifer Rosen, who divorced her husband in 2003. She described

spending time with her two children and her ex-husband after the divorce, and how it feels normal and comfortable. “Relationships are all about choices.

My relationship with my ex is a crucial one not only to me but our children. We have chosen the better path for our family.”

I also heard from attorney Jennifer Cunningham Beeler, who alerted me to some changes in family law for 2016. “The biggest impact will be that the term ‘sole custody’ will be eliminated; the thought has been that the majority of divorcing couples want to, and are able to, cooperatively joint parent, and demanding to be the sole custodial parent has caused costly and divisive custody battles. The new term will be an allocation of parental responsibilities, and the law changes ‘visitation’ to the more neutral ‘parenting time’ for each parent.” I plan to learn more about this in the coming weeks.

But before I look back at any more of 2015, let’s consider some advice I relayed in my favorite column from 2015. I asked residents of Vi at the Glen this summer to reflect on their experience and share their best advice

for newlyweds. A study from the Harvard Business School reported that individuals who seek advice are perceived as being more competent than those who do not seek advice – especially when the task for which they need advice is difficult.

From Jim and Dolores Conway, married 59 years: “We have learned, sometimes the hard

way, that there are three - not always easy - rules to follow. But it’s well worth the effort. First, compromise: no one is always right and no one is always wrong.

Second, communicate: no one is a mind reader, so let your partner know what is bothering you. And third: keep your sense of humor.

Life is short, so enjoy each other.”

Supporters of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s ( JDRF) Illinois Chapter took over McCormick Place Lakeside Center and Arie Crown Theater on December 12 for a memorable evening of fundraising and entertainment. Hosting 2,000 guests and volunteers, the evening featured the organization’s Fund A Cure program, a sit-down dinner, exciting live and silent auction, and ended with a roofraising performance by REO Speedwagon.

In its 36th year, the event raised $4 million to further JDRF’s work to support research to cure, treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes.

UnIted yOU stand

Buying a new home can be an exciting prospect. You’ve done your homework you know what you want; you just have to find it. Everything is negotiable except the location of the house, and your Realtor® can help you with sorting through the rest of your considerations when choosing a home—provided that you have come to a clear understanding and are able to unify your efforts together. After all—your happiness and successful closing is the end goal for both of you. Your Realtor® will know what to keep an eye out for, what the seller is willing to compromise on and what they are firm on.

There are a few things you need to remember when house hunting: • Always be united. If the seller sees that one person loves the house while the other person is on the fence, they may use this information to sway one or influence the other.

• Leave your ego at home. If you’re looking at a home and you like it, but there’s something that doesn’t appeal to you, ask the question nicely about it. Being rude gets you nothing except the likelihood of paying more for the home than you would have paid otherwise.

It also makes the seller reluctant to try to work with you to reach a compromise.

• Be skeptical. Not ‘I don’t believe anything you say’ skeptical, but a little skepticism is healthy and can help with the negotiations.

Impressive Weber earns all-tournament honors at St. Viator Holiday Classic

BY KEVIN REITERMAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

H

er coach wouldn’t mind seeing a little more of the killer instinct.

Glenbrook North’s Miranda Weber may have some of that “ruthless determination” on the basketball court. But if she does, she hides it well … with that killer smile.

“I don’t know. I’m just always smiling,” Weber said.

It’s her game face.

Pre-game. In-game. Postgame.

“We lucked out with her,” said GBN head coach Danielle Fluegge. “She’s just a tremendous kid.”

Weber, daughter of GBN head boys basketball coach David Weber, also is turning into quite the inside threat.

Beaming was allowed following her big-time effort in the third-place game of the St. Viator Holiday Classic on Dec. 23. The 5-foot-10 senior center smiled her way 28 points and 15 rebounds in a 67-66 loss to Harvest Christian Academy “Miranda Weber … AGAIN.” The P.A. announcer at St. Viator repeated that line over and over again.

And Weber’s facial expression didn’t change, when it was announced that she had been named to the all-tournament team.

“Very rewarding,” said the laidback Weber. “Feels great.”

Weber also was equally unstoppable in a 45-25 win over Elmwood Park in the first-round tournament action on Dec. 19, when she poured in a game-high 18 points.

“My teammates got me the ball,” she said. “I just kept posting up, and they kept looking for me.”

Fluegge is putting no limits on her veteran post player, who shot 59 percent from the field and averaged 9.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game for the Spartans last year.

“She doesn’t even know how good she can be,” said Fluegge.

“She’s very unselfish on the court.

And we’re always telling her to

in the St. Viator Tournament.

Their wins came over Elmwood Park and Regina Dominican 43-35 on Dec. 22. The other loss was against Zion-Benton 52-36.

The Spartans (4-12 overall) are markedly improved. They’ve won four of their last eight games.

And that 66-point showing against Harvest Academy was a season high.

“We’re starting to click,” said Weber. “We’re working well together as a team.”

“I think we’re starting to settle in,” added Fluegge, noting that five players were missing due to a religious function when GBN went 0-5 in the season-opening Vernon Hills Tournament.

be more selfish.”

Earlier this season, Fluegge, a former standout basketball player at Glenbrook South, watched Weber turn in a 26-point, 17rebound performance against Waukegan.

“Her humbleness speaks volumes,” said Fluegge. “But she’s coming out of her shell. She’s taking more ownership of the team.”

Though she’s not planning to play basketball at the next level,

you can tell that the likeable Weber has been coached up.

You can tell that she’s a coach’s daughter.

“I used to go to the gym with my dad and brother (Austin),” she said.

Dad taught her how to shoot.

Taught her post moves.

Austin taught her how to be tough on the court.

“Austin pushed me around a little (in those gym sessions),” she added.

Austin, a 6-foot-6 guard, was an excellent long-range shooter.

The 2010 grad, who went on to play Division II basketball at Quincy College, holds GBN’s school records for most threepointers made in a game (10) and most three-pointers made in a season (104).

Miranda Weber, a former soccer player, excels in the painted part of a basketball court. She possesses a soft touch and uses the backboard to her advantage.

She also is very instinctive when it comes to rebound positioning.

Weber was a rebound magnet against Harvest Christian. In the final six minutes of the third quarter, she pulled down seven boards to go along with 10 points.

And she’s getting it done on the defensive end.

“She’s makes good decisions, and she’s good on help defense,” said Fluegge.

Things also are looking up for the Spartans, who finished 2-2

Notable: Senior guard Ilana Malman continues to play at high level for the Spartans. The talented ball handler finished in double figures in three of the games at St. Viator: 16 vs.

Harvest Academy, 16 vs. ZionBenton and 10 vs. Elmwood Park. She had a couple of terrific stretches in the third-place game. Malman, a returning allconference selection, displayed a high degree of difficulty, when she sank a scoop shot on a drive down the lane late in the second quarter. And she put up eight points, including a three-pointer on top and a runner along the baseline, in the final 6:25 of the fourth quarter. … Sophomore sharpshooter Jordan Davison did some impressive work in the tourney. She came up with backto-back 16-point efforts against Regina and Harvest. She made three three-pointers against Harvest. Davison was one of three sophomores in the starting lineup. The others include guard Nicole Amen and post player Samantha Carsello. “We’re investing in them,” said GBN coach Danielle Fluegge. Carsello tallied 11 points in the ZionBenton game. … Fluegge also is receiving solid minutes from seniors Lane Gruemmer, Audrey Christopher and Claire Hanrahan.

SPORTS

Sibling revelry It’s Tommy Hagerty’s turn to hear the cheers from a proud family member

BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

T

he shout came from the balcony in Glenbrook South’s natatorium in Glenview. The voice belonged to a woman in her 20s, two pieces of luggage in tow. The woman was waving.

“Tommy!”

Glenbrook South senior swimmer Tommy Hagerty, flapping his arms and shaking his legs and jumping before the start of the 400-yard freestyle relay, heard the shout. He stopped moving on the pool deck. Then he turned his head, looked up, smiled and acknowledged the shouter, also smiling. His sister, North Carolina resident Kelly Hagerty, had arrived from an airport, just in time for the last race of the Highland Park High School-Glenbrook South dual meet on Dec. 18.

More than seven years ago, the siblings’ positions in the natatorium at Evanston Township High School were reversed. Tommy was a spectator then, looking down at a pool and swimmers, too many to count. Kelly was a Glenbrook South junior then, preparing to race in the championship heat of the 50-yard freestyle at the 2008 state meet. Six girls climbed start blocks, got ready, got set. Beep. Six girls entered the pool, water flying, arms propelling. The little brother watched his big sister, only his big sister. Kelly, the third-fastest qualifier in the previous day’s preliminaries, churned for 25 yards, ricocheted off a wall, churned for 25 more yards. The top three racers touched the final wall, seemingly simultaneously.

Eyeballs in the balcony and on deck shifted quickly to the scoreboard: Third place: 23.75, Rosary senior Kara Savegnago.

Second place: 23.65, Homewood-Flossmoor senior Anna Dobben.

First place: 23.58, Glenbrook South junior Kelly Hagerty.

“It was crazy, being there and watching her win that race,” Tommy Hagerty recalls. “I’d seen her swim at meets my whole life.

That race, though, that win … exciting. It was an exciting time for my family.”

The win moved him. The win fueled him. A state champ lived in his house. Tommy Hagerty was 11 at the time, a swimmer since the age of five, maybe six. He learned to swim under the guidance of Glenbrook Aquatics coaches. Like Kelly had. He competed for Glenbrook Aquatics teams. Like Kelly had. Unlike Kelly, he was a distance swimmer.

He sometimes cried before swimming practices.

“I was a little overweight, and I didn’t always want to swim,” Tommy, now standing 6-foot-2 and weighing a sturdy 185 pounds, says. “My sister encouraged me to stick with swimming. She told me, ‘Don’t give up.’ My mom [Anne] told me the same thing.

“Kelly,” he adds, “has been my main inspiration. What she did at state that year, finishing first in the 50 free, really inspired me.”

Tommy Hagerty’s love for the sport of swimming grew each time his personal-best time in the 500 free melted. The kid brother of a former Titans state champion tried out for the swimming program at Glenbrook South as a

freshman, in 2012, hoping to show he was varsity timber. Titans varsity coach Keith MacDonald liked what he saw from the kid.

Hagerty made the varsity club.

“At the time I thought, My sister must have convinced Coach Mac to let me swim on varsity,” Hagerty says.

“Not true,” Kelly says, “He was fast enough.”

He was fast enough to better the state cut in the 500 free as a sophomore. Unfortunately for Hagerty, two of his teammates in the 2013-14 season — a freshman, Sam Iida, and a senior, Kevin Benson — swam faster times in the 500 free than he had. Only two entrants from each school get to vie for state berths in events at sectional meets. Hagerty settled for relay-alternate status at the state meet. He was OK with that, thankful for that. It gave him the opportunity to see and hear and feel a state meet from a poolside spot.

What Hagerty accomplished at the two-day state meet the following season, last winter, was part wonderful and part stunning, filled

with singular feats and double takes and looks from teammates that screamed, “Are you kidding me?” Hagerty had qualified for state in the 500 free with a sectional time of 4:43.4. That put him 25th among qualifiers in the event.

In a 500-free heat in the state preliminaries, Hagerty clocked a 4:36.03. Blink, blink. Take, double take. Only one other qualifier — Iida, with a 4:32.01 — would swim a faster time in the prelims.

“Perfect,” Hagerty says of his taper. “I was hoping to break 4:40.

No way did I think I’d swim a 4:36.”

He swam a 4:38.57 in the championship heat of the 500 free on the next day, a fifth-place effort from a non-circle seed (seeds 25-39). Among the hands he shook after receiving his first state medal belonged to the state champion in the event, Iida (4:31.13).

Hagerty, rookie state participant, also helped a pair of Titans relays earn state medals (400 free, third place; 200 free, fourth place).

Glenbrook South tied Naperville Central for third place in the team standings.

“His breakthrough swim [in the 500-free prelims], that was impressive,” MacDonald says. “It surprised me. It also was fun to see and to see Tommy’s reaction to it. This year he understands his training better than he did last year. He’s also developing a sprinter’s mentality … something we’ll need from him at the end of the season.”

One of Hagerty’s favorite escapes from the pool this winter is on the sideline of a basketball court. He coaches a CYO team of peers once a week, dressing the part (nice shirt, nice pants, with a tie) and acting the part (yelling, at times).

“I mimic college coaches when I coach basketball,” Hagerty, a captain of this year’s Titans swim team and a water polo player (hole set) in the spring, says. “I copy Coach K [Duke men’s coach Mike Krzyzewski]. You know, the way he’s so serious while sitting on the bench during games. It’s fun.”

Hagerty intends to watch Boston University basketball games next winter, as long as they don’t interfere with his BU swim

team commitments. He loves the city of Boston, the vibe at BU, and he can’t wait to hit the water for the Terriers. He is thinking of becoming an athletic trainer one day. His interest in that field heightened last spring after his nose got in the way of a flying elbow in a water polo game.

Painful, educational.

Hagerty pushes Titans swimmers these days, encourages them, pulls for them. Leadership drips from the swimmer.

“Tommy is a really hard worker, his technique has improved, and his strokes in the 500 free … they’re smooth,” Titans senior breaststroker and relay member Byron Mandell says. “He’s an energetic guy, gets the team going, leads our cheers [in team huddles].

I like how he brings life to everybody on the team.”

Kelly Hagerty’s little brother climbed a start block, preparing to swim his leg of a Titans 400 free relay in that dual with visiting Highland Park last month.

Tommy, the anchor leg, blasted off the block and pierced the water, following 100-yard legs from Byron, junior Lee Bryan and senior Peter Dales. Kelly Hagerty, a former swimmer at Duke and current college adviser/swim coach at Lee County High School in Sanford, North Carolina, watched her little brother, only her little brother, from a balcony. Tommy swam hard, swam fast, nothing new. He touched the final wall.

The quartet’s time of 3:23.84 was a first-place time, by nearly eight seconds.

The little brother looked up, again, at his biggest fan, his visiting sis, after exiting the pool. Both were smiling.

“Tommy,” Kelly says, “is perpetually happy.”

Notable: Host Glenbrook South defeated Highland Park 110-76 on Dec. 18. The Titans’ other firstplace swims: Bryan Lee (200 free, 1:52.61); Sam Iida (200 IM, 1:54.91; 100 butterfly, 52.28); Tommy Hagerty (50 free, 22.77; 100 free, 48.57); Byron Mandell (500 free, 5:11.3); and the 200 free relay ( Justin Zenteno, Jack Wells, Iida and Mandell, 1:30.76).

Glenbrook South standout receives high grades for his play in Wheeling’s Hardwood Classic

BY KEVIN REITERMAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

J

immy Martinelli was one of the head-turners at the W heeling Hardwood Classic.

The senior, who has been Glenbrook South’s go-to player for the past two seasons, had it all working. The 6-foot-7 Martinelli finished the four-game set with a tourney-best 76 points to go along with 20 rebounds and 12 assists.

His solid all-around play earned him all-tournament honors.

Meanwhile, Glenbrook South’s play in the consolation championship was a bit of a head-scratcher.

After playing very well in the first three rounds, the Titans (5-7) fell to Prospect 63-51 on Dec. 26.

They were down by 21 with 2:48 left to play.

“We didn’t dictate anything against them,” said GBS head coach Ben Widner. “We really didn’t have any stretches that you could feel good about.”

Martinelli, though, was a bright spot. Despite having a target on his back, he poured in a gamehigh 20 points. And he did it in variety of ways: two three-pointers and three drives down the lane.

“Great job by Jimmy,” said Widner. “He led well.

“He plays hard. Stays in great shape. Wants to win,” the coach added. “He’s fun to coach.”

The coach especially likes Martinelli’s willingness to share the basketball.

As time was ticking away in the Prospect game, Martinelli had a chance to pad his stats. But, instead of taking the ball to the hoop, he pitched a pass to Mashbat Otgontagaan, who nailed a three-pointer from the left wing.

“You try to get the ball to guys who don’t play a lot,” said Martinelli, speaking like a coach. “Give them a chance to score. Give everybody a chance to contribute.”

Martinelli’s best shooting night in the tourney came on Dec. 23 in GBS’s 46-44 win over the host Wildcats. He tallied 18 points on 9-of-14 shooting. He added six rebounds and three assists in the contest.

Martinelli also shot over 50

sity and Brown University. He plans on making several more.

“I don’t have a top five or anything,” he said. “And I don’t plan to make a decision until after the season.”

Besides playing for the Titans, Martinelli is coming off a strong club season with Michael Weinstein and Fundamental U. Facing stiff national competition definitely improved his overall game.

“We went to some high-level tournaments,” said Martinelli, who teamed up with Deerfield’s Jordan Baum, Niles West’s Evan Hines, New Trier’s Colin Winchester, Highland Park’s Hallvard Lundevall, Stevenson’s Jordan Newman, Hinsdale Central’s Peter Blust, Fremd’s Patrick Benka and Kenosha’s Deryk Ruple. “And some of the teams we faced would look at us and laugh.”

But, on several occasions, the last laugh … belonged to Fundamental U. “We beat a lot of those highlevel team,” Martinelli said, “which was pretty exciting.”

Fundamental U’s final record was 38-13.

Notable: GBS had two juniors step up in this tournament. In the opening game against Libertyville, Matt Giannakopoulos connected on 10 of 12 shots to lead the Titans with 22 points. …

In the two-point win over Wheeling in the consolation semifinals, guard George Arvanitis hit the game-winning shot. “He finds way to get in the right place at the right time,” said GBS coach Ben Widner. … Ali Baig, a senior, turned in his best game of the season in the win over Streamwood. The 6-foot-3 forward helped the Titans build a 37-12 halftime lead by tallying six of his 11 points in the second quarter.

Jimmy Martinelli takes it to the hoop in Glenbrook South’s win over Streamwood in the consolation bracket of the Wheeling Hardwood … Senior Jack Szafranski was one Classic.

“T

he thing I really love about Cora is that she can embrace the protocol, the parties, the menus, the servants, the grandeur, but she could also walk away from it without batting an eye. She loves it but it’s not essential to her, she doesn’t need it,” explains Elizabeth McGovern at the London launch of the final series of Downton Abbey.

and not so much of the angst, because there’s more space. The Midwest tends to be more open and accepting, there’s a lot of music, a lot of theatre, it’s a great culture, and a beautiful city. The people are just more accepting and nice,” she says with characteristic warmth.

During Downton’s five years on our screens, we’ve watched the lords and ladies— and their staff—go through many highs and lows, both private and intensely personal. The series spans

“I thought the writing really got across the impact of the sudden death of Sybil on Cora and Robert’s relationship. It was really great writing because it wasn’t just generic grief,” she says.

“Julian (Fellowes, show creator) really addressed the specific impact of grief on specific relationships and the kind of fallout that often occurs from a child’s death, the different stages of grief and forgiveness. I thought that it was done in an interesting way and I loved playing that.”

However, one aspect of Downton McGovern admits she won’t miss is the drawn out process synonymous with creating such a huge production: “The biggest challenge to surviving Downton Elizabeth McGovern Abbey would be surviving the Illustration by Barry Blitt tedium.

Now based in London with her husband, British filmmaker Simon Curtis, and two daughters, McGovern says that while she has a couple of projects in development, her main focus will be on her family and her other passion, music. “I’ve got plans to record some new songs with my band but that will be quite low-key and I’m looking forward to some quiet time. Not leaving the house, hanging out with my kids!” she smiles. McGovern is the lead singer and guitarist in the folk-rock band Sadie and the Hotheads. When not on screen in those period costumes, she can be found rocking out on stage to a unique blend of 60’s pop-tinged country. What Lady Grantham would make of her rock star alter ego, we’ll never know.

Over the last six years, Downton Abbey has become a worldwide phenomenon. The Crawleys have fallen in love, fought in The Great War, and in Lady Grantham’s case, hosted the kind of epic and decadent parties that are now an echo of a more glamorous age. One thing’s for sure, there will be gap in our TV schedules and our hearts once the final series wraps.

What does Elizabeth McGovern think about the rumoured movie of the series? “I really don’t know; I can’t say,” she insists. “At the moment, I’m very happy to take a break from it.” But of course, Downton Abbey simply couldn’t survive without the lady of the house.
