AKE FOREST – Lake Forest High School math teacher Albert Macius was found guilty of two counts of misdemeanor battery Feb. 8 after Lake County Criminal Court Judge Mark Levitt concluded the teacher’s version of the incident that brought him to trial lacked credibility.

“Your own words sir, it is your own words that convict you,” Levitt said when giving his verdict at the end of the day-long trial that included testimony from the victim, who was a 17-year-old high school student when the encounter occurred last May. Macius and three police officers involved in the case also testified.

Glenview Youth Races to Championships Valentine’s Day Sale

LENVIEW — Most parents who buy their child a Christmas gift to drive at 80 miles per hour wait until the youth is 16 but Glenview’s Jason Pribyl got that kind of present at six.

Pribyl, now 10, has three regional Go-Karts championships to his credit pushing speeds of 80 miles per hour in the last two years and plans to go on the national circuit this year with his mechanic and coach.

The mechanic and coach is also Pribyl’s father, Steve Pribyl, who introduced him to the sport when the youngster was 6. Steve Pribyl said he has learned a mechanic’s skills in part as a systems engineer in the trading industry.

Steve Pribyl, a Glenbrook South High School graduate, said he was introduced to automobile racing by his father, Joe Pribyl. At one of the races there was a fourmile and Jason got the chance to drive a Go-Kart around it.

“He got on the track and really took to it,” Steve Pribyl said. “The following Christmas we bought him a Go-Kart.”

The first time around a track in the borrowed vehicle, Jason said he approached speeds of 30 miles an hour and was not totally comfortable.

“I spun out a few times,” Jason Continued on PG 10

NEWS RACER Continued from PG 1 Pribyl said. “I was not sure how fast I was going but I think it was about 30. It was a kid kart.”

Fast-forward four years. Jason Pribyl is driving more than twice as fast as he did that first time.

He won the Championship Euduro novice title in 2014, moved up to the novice junior class the next year and won there too, according to Steve Pribyl. He also won the Briggs & Stratton 206 Cup last year.

Go-Karts for novice racers go approximately 65 miles per hour, according to Steve Pribyl. In the novice junior class, he said the drivers operate their vehicle between 75 and 80 miles per hour.

While racing is all about speed, Jason Pribyl said going all out all the time is not necessarily to win races. He admitted it took time to become comfortable at high speed.

“It was pretty scary,” Jason Pribyl said. “After a while you get used to the speed. It feels natural for me now.”

Winning races is about more than speed, according to both Jason and Steve Pribyl. They

GUILTY Continued from PG 1 across a courtroom bench when the guilty verdict was read.

Earlier in the trial the victim testified that Macius, who had been tutoring her in math, came to her home May 11 to give her advice about leasing or purchasing a car. She said that as he sat on the living room couch and she on a chair across the room, he motioned for her to sit beside him. She and Macius both said he asked her to move to the couch so he could show her information he brought with him.

“He touched my upper thighs and my legs,” the victim said.

“He kept his hands on my legs and upper thighs. I got my dogs and put them on the couch as a barrier.”

When Macius got up to leave after 40 minutes in the house, the victim said he hugged her goodbye. They had hugged before but the victim said this time was different.

“He hugged me pretty hard so I pulled away,” the victim said. “He kissed my neck and my hair. It seemed pretty weird.

Before the hugs were very short.

This time it was 45 seconds or a minute. When I pulled back he said ‘this feels so right.’”

In his testimony in court, Macius gave a different version of the encounter and denied

“I want to go faster. I want to be a NASCAR driver.”

—Jason Pribyl watch video to see how competing participants drive and they plot strategy. The key to winning a race may be holding the proper position going around a curve.

“A lot of it is how I pass them,” Jason Pribyl said. “I watch them to see if they have a weak corner.

I see their style and know what they are doing. I look for the right spot (to pass) and keep controlled.

I have to keep my cool at 80 and just drive or I could have an accident.”

This spring Steve Pribyl said he and his son will be heading to national races. Some of the time Joe Pribyl will make it a three-

generation trip. Jason Pribyl said he likes having his father and grandfather around.

“They help a lot,” Jason Pribyl

kissing her. He made the same denial during an interview on May 12 with Lake Bluff Police officer Lisa Malkov, Lake Bluff detective James Reynolds and Lake Forest Police detective Benjamin Grum, the high school’s resource officer.

In court on Feb. 8, Assistant Lake County State’s Attorney Jamie Feldman played a video of 90 minutes of the 2½-hour interview. In the video, Macius admitted to the hug but said it was a normal thing he did with students.

“It was just a hug,” Macius said. “It felt the same to her. I was just saying you’re a good kid. Keep working hard.”

Macius said he came to the victim’s home to show her the a u t om o b i l e s e c t i on o f the Chicago Tribune to help her with questions about leasing a car. On cross-examination he said it would be unlikely a parent would be home at that time.

Macius said he discussed car leasing with the victim and her mother the day before when he was there for a tutoring session.

Admitting he touched the victim’s leg, Macius said he did it to refocus her to their discussion about purchasing or leasing a car when she seemed distracted. He also said their entire conversation centered on auto-

mobiles.

“I wanted to get her attention,” Macius said. “I touched her knee (and said) look at this.

Then I said it was time for me to get up and go.”

The victim said the conversation was mostly about personal things. She said Macius did not get around to discussing the purchase or lease of an automobile until the end of the talk.

“He did not talk about it until the end,” the victim said during cross examination from Macius’s attorney, Thomas Breen, as she wiped away tears with a tissue.

Breen said during his closing argument Macius showed innocence by agreeing to talk to the police without an attorney and being cooperative during the lengthy interrogation. Breen called his client a dedicated teacher.

“He did this to help a student along,” Breen said. “I view this as something taken completely out of context. I’m scratching my head for her motive.”

Assistant State’s Attorney Feldman had the answer on the victim’s reasoning during her closing argument as well as her view of his version of the story.

“There is no motive. That’s why he can’t think of one. He backtracked everything on cross examination,” Feldman said.

“She should not have to jump

up and down and (say stop). She was a student and (Macius) should have known.”

“That excuse is absurd,” Judge Levitt said when giving his verdict, referring to Macius’s reason for touching her.

Levitt said before he sentences Macius he wants a pretrial investigation to help guide his decision. Sentencing is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. April 14 in Waukegan.

NORTH SHORE FOODIE

NAPOLITA PIZZERIA OPENS IN WILMETTE

BY EMILY SPECTRE

W

ILMETTE – Napolita Pizzeria, a restaurant and wine bar specializing in authentic Neapolitan pizza, has added to downtown Wilmette’s role as a foodie destination on the North Shore.

“We love Neapolitan pizza and thought it would do really well on the North Shore,” said Josh Schonfeld, general manager of the restaurant.

Owners Mike Chookaszian, Luke Cholodecki and Nicolas Hynes have clearly invested in the restaurant. The storefront formerly home to Gilson’s Restaurant was completely gut-renovated, transforming the space into a polished atmosphere of dark wood, white subway tiles and plenty of seating at the bar area or in the separate dining room.

And this isn’t just any old Italian pizzeria. The restaurant’s stated goal on its menu is “to provide the

most authentic Neapolitan pizza you can find on this side of the Atlantic.” But what does that mean for those of us uneducated in the ancient traditions of Neapolitan pizza-making?

First of all, Napolita boasts an authentic Stefan Ferrara wood burning oven imported straight from Napoli. This 7,000 pound oven stands in the corner of the restaurant, right behind a spacious new bar where customers can watch Executive Chef Brian Gusich and his staff make fresh pizza to order. An oven of that size bakes the pizzas at 900 degrees, which means not only are these pizzas done in a flash, but the edges are crispy with a softer center.

And what’s Neapolitan pizza without the most authentic ingredients? Gusich makes his sauce using only two ingredients: San Marzono tomatoes and salt. Mozzarella di bufala is imported weekly from Italy and delivered to the restaurant within three days of

when it was made. “As fresh as you can get importing a product from Europe,” Gusich said.

Gusich also only uses Antimo Caputo 00 flour, which is milled on the outskirts of Napoli. This flour is so finely milled, that the texture is akin to talcum powder, producing very delicate dough.

The dough is mixed using an Italian-made Pierto Berto dough mixer, which uses a fork mixer instead of the traditional spiral style. This mixer gives the dough a hand-kneaded effect, since the forks pull the dough back onto itself. At 40 quarts, the mixer can yield enough dough to make roughly 225 pizzas.

While the restaurant imports as many ingredients as possible from Italy, the rest of its ingredients are sourced locally in the Midwest. The chicken parmigiana is made with free-range chickens from Iowa, while the grass-fed beef is from Michigan and Wisconsin.

Mediterranean black sea bass. The bar offers a range of primarily Italian wines served by the bottle or glass, with Prosecco and Sangiovese on tap. Local beer and some Italian draft beers are also available, as well as an assortment of Italian focused cocktails. “All of the cocktails have an Italian twist to them,” Schonfeld said.

With a range of choices on its menu, and of course the everpopular pizzas, Napolita will likely appeal to range of clientele.

“I think we are catering to everything. Great for families, date night, older folks — we are here Executive Chef Brian Gusich (right) and Chef Nick Alvarez. for everybody,” Schonfeld said.

THEATRE REVIEW

Northlight’s ‘Mothers and Sons’ A Powerful Emotional Experience

BY JILL SODERBERG

K

atharine Gerard, a Dallas matron, wears her mink coat like armor, and she’s reluctant to relinquish it. She has arrived unannounced at the New York apartment of Cal, the former lover of her son, Andre, who died of AIDS twenty years earlier. “I’m not staying,” she insists when Cal offers to take her coat. But of course she does stay, and in the 90 minutes that follow in Northlight’s “Mothers and Sons,” playwright Terrence McNally delivers an emotionally affecting exploration of family dynamics and a bitter woman’s struggle with profound loss. The unlikely reunion of Katharine and Cal—they have not spoken since Andre died—yields not only the personal history of the characters but also an account of the political markers of the gay experience.

Not the least of which is the fact that Cal’s domestic situation—he’s now married to Will, fifteen years his junior, and raising a child—is mere backdrop rather than the centerpiece of the story. Acknowledging the generational difference

between Will and himself—personal and political—Cal tells Katharine, “I never expected to be a father. He never expected not to be one.” Thus the contemporary “Mothers and Sons,” reflecting legalized gay marriage and parenting, is McNally’s latest work in a career that has chronicled the evolving cultural landscape for gay Americans over the last 50 years.

The AIDS era was captured in his plays “The Lisbon Traviata,” “Lips Together, Teeth Apart,” and “Love!

Valour! Compassion!” while “Andre’s Mother,” which was made into a television movie, first introduced the characters Katharine Gerard and Cal Porter, meeting for the first time at Andre’s memorial service.

With “Mothers and Sons,” directed by Steve Scott, it is twenty years later when Katharine, recently widowed, arrives at Cal’s doorstep, which is attached to a handsome Central Park West apartment (with a view), evidence of Cal’s successful career as a money manager. Surely his strength is in client relations; he deflects Katharine’s insensitive barbs with grace. Andre left home

for being there—returning Andre’s journal is her excuse for the visit— the conversation is compelling, the revelations heartbreaking. Could it be reconciliation she’s looking for? If so, we’re all in.

Will, an aspiring writer, is the stay-at-home helpmate, utterly absorbed by his role as father to six-year-old Bud. The device of giving Bud a bath—a very long bath—with the two dads switching off responsibility (“Your turn. He wants you.”) allows Katharine solo time with Will, who tells her (TMI) all about how Bud was conceived. Clearly, McNally is thorough in his chronicle of the gay family today.

Interpreting McNally’s work is a strong four-person cast with the pert Bud played by Ben Miller and Benjamin Sprunger as the doting father Will. Jeff Parker gives the anchoring performance as Cal, Mothers and Sons plays through February 27th. whose reminiscences about Andre’s at eighteen to pursue a theatre came to New York.” (Laughter in affable Cal parries, with gentle life and death feel wholly authencareer—too young, she thinks, to the audience) She thrusts, seeking responses that explain the life that tic.

EYE-CATCHING PERFORMANCE Glenbrook North’s Blankfield collects four medals at regional meet

BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

C

aroline Blankfield had just finished her floor exercise in a gymnastics meet last winter. She was a Glenbrook North freshman in early 2015, dancing and tumbling to the notes of a song from the movie Hairspray. The music stopped. She posed for the judges, a perfect time to catch her breath.

Blankfield, breathing somewhat normally again, then got up from the mat and dashed across the spring-loaded floor, her eyes aiming squarely at the happiest woman in the gym.

Spartans gymnastics coach Julie Holmbeck, arms raised a la the touchdown signal, a wide smile lighting up her face, would soon have to adjust her arms and turn into a human being catcher. Blankfield calls Holmbeck “Mrs,” just “Mrs.” It’s her thing. She yelled that title several times as she neared her coach.

Blankfield launched herself.

Holmbeck braced herself. She did not shout, “I got her, I got her, I got her!” But she might have thought about doing so.

The teen fell into the arms of the adult, safe and sound, a joint celebration captured by more than a few cameras.

“She gets excited after she sticks a routine,” Holmbeck said last week. “Caroline is a fun girl, very coachable. I like everything about her.”

The coach had exactly 34.35 more reasons to like Blankfield, now a 5-foot-3 sophomore, at a regional meet on the home mats on Feb. 3. That figure was Blankfield’s all-around point total, a runner-up total. She advanced automatically in the all-around and in three events (uneven bars, balance beam, floor) to the Mundelein Sectional, scheduled to take place earlier this week (Feb. 9). Her floor show, still choreographed to Hairspray music, generated 8.85 points, another runner-up total.

Her score of 8.375 in the other event, vault, earned her an at-largequalifying berth.

(135.35) at the Glenbrook North Regional, paced by the 2-3-4 showing in the all-around from sophomore Caroline Blankfield (34.35), junior Alexandra Michalak (34.2) and sophomore Kelly Lazar (33.65). The top five in the all-around and in each event automatically qualified to compete at a sectional. That trio of Spartans combined to earn 11 such berths.

Spartans junior Katie Brownlee swung to a fifth-place 8.4 on bars and qualified, at-large, for the Mundelein Sectional (Feb. 9) in the all-around (32.625). Freshman Bridget Billig competed as the Spartans’ fifth all-arounder and finished fifth among teammates on vault (11th place overall, 8.175).

Glenbrook North’s squad received good news on the day after its regional meet, Feb. 4. It would get to compete, as a full squad, at a sectional. Four teams advanced as at-large teams, North’s Spartans ranking fourth among the contingent.

Glenbrook South The Titans advanced as an atlarge team entrant to the Mundelein Sectional, behind three top-five finishes in the all-around at the New Trier Regional on Feb. 2.

ONE FINE DAY Senior standout lights it up for reigning state champions

BY DAN SHALIN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

B

efore Glenbrook North senior center Joey Day played varsity hockey, he had watched older brothers Jack (Class of 2011) and Nick (Class of 2014) play for the Blackhawk Cup State Tournament title at the United Center.

Jack and Nick also were named all-state as seniors.

Joey, the third of four boys, dreamed of one day emulating his brothers, whom he idolizes.

Not only has Joey Day hit those heights, but he seemingly reached a new level by winning last year’s Blackhawk Cup and scoring the sudden-death overtime goal to clinch a 3-2 victory over Benet Academy in that title game. His brothers had to settle for runner-up honors. “(My brothers) were pretty jealous and really happy for me,” said Joey, who already has earned all-state honors for this season.

“It’s cool they were finally looking up to me after I spent so much time looking up to them.”

The 2015 overtime gamewinner, which came off a feed from then-senior Eric Doar, cemented Day’s place in program history. It also helped end two years of disappointment for the Spartans, who lost to New Trier in the 2013 and 2014 championship games.

The question became: what would Day do for an encore after that moment, which he called the peak of his career, and maybe his life?

“A bunch of my friends said, ‘You should quit hockey because nothing will beat that,’ ” he said.

“But I want to win state again and have everyone experience what it’s like. It was the best experience.

Day certainly has done his part for the Spartans, who brought a 50-17-2 record into this week’s Scholastic Cup semifinal series against Loyola Gold. With the Blackhawk Cup returning in a few weeks, Glenbrook North appears poised for another run at the state title.

Through 69 games, Day was second on the team with 37 goals and third with 63 points. In addition to receiving all-state

honors and joining teammates Zach Knudson and Nick Mikhaylov at the Feb. 8 All-State Game in Bensenville, the 5-foot8, 150-pound Day also has been named Second-Team All-Scholastic Hockey Conference.

“I’ve coached Joe for a number of years, since he was in the feeder program. I have a good grasp of what he can do,” Glenbrook North head coach Evan Poulakidas said. “He skates well and is way quicker than people think.

When he makes a move, he does so without having to slow down.

His agility and quickness are his

forte and he has a nice, accurate shot. On the power play, he controls the puck and the tempo.”

Though it seems like a long time ago now, Day did have some struggles early in the campaign as he adjusted to life as a leading man. He had been more of a supporting actor in recent seasons, but suddenly found himself centering the Spartans’ top line and as a key piece on the power play and penalty kill. This was in addition to getting used to being an alternate captain.

Day said he emerged from an early goal drought thanks to Pou-

lakidas’ unwavering confidence in him, and by switching up the order in which he put on his socks and pads and tied his skates.

As Day grew accustomed to his new role, Glenbrook North also experienced some growing pains, which was understandable after the Spartans graduated 18 seniors from last year’s title team.

“There were struggles [early on] because of so many new people on the team,” Day said. “I think the turnaround came after our first out-of-town tournament [in Culver, Indiana] in December.

We did a bunch of bonding, and

after the tournament things started to click.”

Poulakidas said it’s not a coincidence the team’s up-turn in fortunes coincided with its captain, senior Kyle Fisher, and his alternates, Day and senior Jack Elowe, becoming better leaders.

“Early on, I was not happy with their leadership and I let them know it,” the coach said. “But kudos to them; they changed a lot and became the kind of leaders we need to take us where we want to go. They deserve credit.”

The coach said it can be difficult for well-liked players, like

Fisher, Day and Elowe, to suddenly be in a position requiring them to call out teammates for not working hard enough.

Day said he’s gotten more comfortable as a leader as the season has progressed, and said he’s now trying to ensure the team’s youngsters are ready for the stretch run.

“Our captains are trying to get everyone to realize the stakes and understand the playoff atmosphere. Anyone can beat anyone in the playoffs.” he said. “We tell them: ‘You have to be more focused because it’s the playoffs.’”

SPORTS

Friedman, Slan, Khatib advance to sectional

BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

randon Friedman doesn’t shy away from one-on-one battles.

The Glenbrook North junior likes to put his body — and mind — to the test. He’s had plenty of practice. He’s been a martial artist since he was three years old.

He also boxes.

He also wrestles.

He also … wins.

At least, he has been lately.

And Friedman has picked a good time to get hot.

On Feb. 6, at the Class 3A Glenbrook South Regional, Friedman came on strong and wound up earning a third-place medal at 220 pounds. He will be the team’s lone representative at the Barrington Sectional on Feb. 12-13.

“I feel pretty good about this,” Friedman said. “I didn’t even win a match at last year’s regional.

Getting to the sectional is a testament to the hard work I’ve put in.”

Friedman, who improved to 15-7 overall, closed out the

finish fourth at the regional, including junior Gio Kollias at 132, senior Toby Gardner at 138 and junior Jacob Park at 152.

tourney in formidable fashion.

After falling to Wheeling’s Yoni Medina in the semifinal round, he bounced back to pin Glenbrook South’s Branko Andelkovic in 3:55 in a semifinal

wrestleback. And then, he stuck Palatine’s Jon Alanis in 4:45 in the third-place bout.

“I was a little sloppy today,” Friedman said. “I made some stupid mistakes. But I can fix

those.”

Friedman definitely has been a bright spot in the GBN lineup.

On Jan. 23, he went 3-1 to claim third place in the Central Suburban League championships at

Deerfield High School. He won by fall against two tough foes: Maine East’s Arxontis Melissnas (26-12) and Deerfield’s Marko Perovic (23-15).

GBN had three wrestlers

Glenbrook South Glenbrook South qualified two wrestlers to the sectional: junior Mason Slan and senior Majdi Khatib. Slan (16-15) earned runner-up honors at 170, while Khatib (23-6) won his third-place match at 285 by a 6-1 score.

“Khatib has been real solid for us,” said GBS head coach Tom Mientus. “He worked hard in the offseason. He deserves it.”

GBS’s near misses were junior Daniel Pavich (21-7), who took fourth at 145, and senior Edgar Borun (22-8), who placed fourth at 195.

Meanwhile, Ethan Bond fell short in the 132-pound weight class. The talented junior was eliminated in the wrestleback semifinals, losing to Loyola Academy’s Sean Cloherty 11-8.

Bond ended the season with a 23-9 record.

Staged Homes Professionals® provide both buyers and sellers a variety of “concierge services”—though it’s statistically proven that Staged Homes® sell faster and for more money than unstaged homes, did you know that as a home buyer, the services of an ASP® are also helpful in making the most of your new home? Here are just a few of the reasons to consider professionally staging your home when it’s time to list it on the market.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Home staging professionals help you ensure that your home’s first impression on potential buyers will be the very best. By creating a room design that is neutral and open to interpretation, buyers are better able to view your home and “mentally move in”, creating an emotional connection that will help your house move quickly and at its highest possible value.

An objective eye lends to a competitive sale!

How you live in a home is completely different from how you sell a home. The professional home stager is able to look at your home objectively in a way that you, your friends and your family cannot—after all, you’ve lived there for years and have many happy memories associated with the rooms. Your buyers, however, don’t have that history—that’ll be theirs to make, when they make an offer. When your house is on the market, it’s absolutely critical to create rooms with aesthetically pleasing focal points, direct the flow of traffic between rooms and generate an overall ambience that promotes each room as an oasis of calm, inviting buyers to not think of the property as “your house”, but instead, to see it as “their home”.

Color, art and room themes—what’s really important?

There’s a reason we trust the services of trained professionals—when you cut corners, you always take a risk. Just as you wouldn’t trust a janitor to perform surgery, you should remember that home sales and Home Staging® are professions like any other, and that by enlisting the services of a trained professional, you’ve shown prospective home buyers how serious you are about the piece of real estate you’re listing. While your friend or family member may indeed have a good “eye” for home design, ask yourself if you’d be willing to keep your home on the market longer, or settle for a lesser offer than your home is worth, just to save a few pennies in having it professionally staged. To get a top-notch home sale, you must be willing to invest in top-notch service!

IN HURRY-UP MODE Loyola’s Johnson chalks up three pins at regional

rew Johnson spends a lot of time up in Eagle River, Wisconsin. But you won’t catch him standing around with a fishing pole.

The Loyola Academy wrestler has no time for fish.

“I’m impatient with fish,” he confesses.

Johnson, instead, likes to do things in swift fashion. He’s into water skiing. Wakeboarding.

The same goes for his wrestling. The Ramblers senior likes to work fast. Pinning the opposition is the quickest way to get off the mat.

“I work to get matches over,” he says. “You don’t want your opponents to hang around, especially when you know you can win.”

Johnson has three cases in point from the weekend.

At the Class 3A Glenbrook South Regional on Feb. 6, the LA 106-pounder opened the tourney by pinning GBS’s Fernando Castrejon in 3 minutes, 37 seconds.

Then, after sustaining a 5-3 loss in the semifinal round,

Johnson put Glenbrook North’s Casey Mutchnik on his back in 2 minutes, 45 seconds in the semifinal wrestlebacks.

Johnson eventually ended the tourney by sticking New Trier’s Andrew Moy in 1 minute, 51 seconds in the third-place match to earn a berth to the Barrington Sectional on Feb. 12-13.

“I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” Johnson says. “Getting third place is a huge accomplishment for me.

“This has been a break-out year for me,” he adds. “I’ve been locked in. I did a lot of lifting to get ready for the season. I felt this year was my chance.”

Johnson was positioned well for the season. He’s been at the 106-pound weight class for four years.

“It was his turn to be the Big Man on Campus (BMOC),” says first-year head coach Jason Welch, a former three-time AllAmerican at Northwestern University. “Being at the same weight class for four years helps.”

Johnson was taking nothing for granted in that critical third-

place match.

“Before the match, our assistant coach ( Jerry Hagene) told me to trust my shots,” Johnson says. “Coach gave me the right advice.”

The wrestler also credited that voice in the stands: Doug Johnson.

“My dad used to wrestle. He likes to coach me from the bleachers,” says Johnson. “He’s a big help at meets.”

Dad also is big help off the mats.

“He helps me with strategy,” Johnson says. “And he keeps from getting down on myself. He teaches me to be mentally strong and not to lose my cool.”

That serious side definitely is there with Johnson. But, according to Welch, don’t be completely fooled by Johnson’s demeanor.

“Drew Johnson is my favorite goofball,” says the coach.

“Yes, he’s serious when he takes the mat,” Welch adds. “But he’s also a real fun kid. He knows when to turn it on and when to turn it off.”

Johnson, who has seven pins on the season, will take an impressive 28-12 record to the Barrington Sectional. And he won’t be going alone.

The Ramblers also qualified freshman Aidan McKeag, sophomore Sean Cloherty and junior Andrew Gonzalez.

McKeag (28-10) made it out at 113 pounds, when he edged Buffalo Grove senior Jake Greenberg 10-8 in the third-place match.

Cloherty (34-9) accomplished two things at the regional. He not only earned a sectional berth by pinning Glenbrook North’s Gio Kollias (1:58) in the 132pound third-place match, but he also set the school record for most pins in a season (24).

“He’s got some funky moves.

He’s wild. He’s real creative,” says Welch. “And he’s tough. He’s out there fighting the whole time.”

Gonzalez improved to 19-12 on the season after earning runner-up honors at 182. He lost to New Trier standout Jake Lowell in the final by technical fall.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

THE ART OF GIVING

BY BILL MCLEAN

T

he love story started at a summer resort in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Holly was 13 years old. Barry was 14. The girl lived in Evanston in the early 1960s, the boy in unincorporated Glenview. A jukebox at the resort played songs, some by a new artist, Johnny Mathis.

The boy and the girl danced.

“He was tall, 5-foot-11,” Holly, 5-foot-7 at the time, recalls, her eyes twinkling. “He was a good dancer, fast song playing or a slow one, and the cologne he was wearing that night … Old Spice.

“I was a goner.”

They dated during their high school years and their college years. They got married on the day of their University of IllinoisChicago graduation ceremony.

Barry Kahan, an attorney, and Holly Kahan, a business owner, will celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary on June 18. Holly’s business, based in the Kahans’ home in Highland Park, is HollyBarry House, Ltd, of Chicago, a relationship marketing company that provides creative, meaningful gift items. She handles the orders of corporate clients and personal customers. Employees receive the gift items from bosses and colleagues. Friends and loved ones receive the gift items from friends and loved ones.

HollyBarry House’s mission statement: “Our commitment is for people to be acknowledged for the contribution they are to the lives of others.”

Holly Kahan considers music a gift. She considers a scent a gift.

Both are lasting. Both drew her to a significant gift, Barry, decades

ago. Lasting. The aromas of six buttermilk pancakes and three strips of bacon waft and intersect in front of her at a booth in the Walker Bros. Original Pancake House in her hometown.

It is 11 days before Valentine’s Day, a day of love, of gift giving — often of the scrambling variety — in many countries.

“My business is a win-win-win situation,” Kahan, a former board member of the Northbrook Cham-ber of Commerce, says.

“The recipient of a gift gets to feel special.

The sender of the gift gets to fulfill a good intention. And I get to facilitate the gift-giving.

Humans want and need to feel a connectedness, a relatedness, in their business lives and in their personal lives.”

Kahan reaches inside a white envelope and presents a plastic card, slightly bigger than a business card. Her company’s logo is on one side of the card. On the other side is a Maya Angelou quote, one of Kahan’s favorites, one that captures the spirit of HollyBarry House.

“I’ve learned,” the quote starts, “that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

A new board director of a nonprofit organization wanted to purchase gifts for her board members before her first meeting.

She contacted HollyBarry House.

A man wants to buy his best friend a birthday gift.

The man has no idea what to buy. Enter Holly Kahan. She helps the man select an item that celebrates the occasion — and the relationship.

“I ask three questions before working for a client,” Kahan says. “ ‘What is the occasion? What is your budget? What do you know about the person?’ A big influence of mine has been Faith Popcorn, a futurist, a marketing futurist specifically. She predicted relationship marketing would be a marketing trend in the 1990s. Creating meaningful relationships with the special people in your life, business and personal, is important. It’s also important to reinforce those relationships.”

Kahan, mother of three and grandmother of seven, established HollyBarry House in 1995. It has survived three U.S. economy dips.

“I love walking around that beautiful place,” the first Homecoming Queen at the University of Illinois-Chicago says. “I like to get there at around 5:30 a.m., nobody else around. I especially like walking on sunny mornings.

I also like to pretend I own the place.”

Her favorite place in the world is anywhere near where her husband happens to be at the moment. Holly celebrates their differences: Holly is a planner, an adventurer; Barry is low key, easy-going, spontaneous. They served as a presenting couple in the Chicago Jewish Marriage Encounter movement. Married couples, Holly contends, should be more aware of their inherent power of two. Holly remembers a night at home when temporary clutter, children’s toys scattered and dirty dishes awaiting attention, irked her. Barry defused the moment with a timely suggestion.

“He told me, ‘Let it go and sit down with me,’ ” Holly, eyes still twinkling, says. “Then he said, ‘Let’s watch TV and hold hands.’

He’s my rock, my spinal column.”

The toys got picked up and the dishes got cleaned after the Kahans’ impromptu in-house date.

Their Valentine’s Day plans this weekend will be simple and touching, the best kind. They will write a love letter to each other, Holly wielding a pen to compose hers, Barry tickling a computer keyboard to craft his.

“I’ll probably also rent a DVD for both of us to watch, one that he will love and I will hate,” Holly says.
