BOOM ECONOMY REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS SAY FALLOUT FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS ACCELERATING AN EXODUS FROM CHICAGO TO THE NORTH SHORE.

INTERVIEW BY KEMMIE RYAN THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

What is Michael Jordan really like? If this question has ever crossed your mind, you’re in luck. Dr. Michael S. Lewis, an orthopedic surgeon at Illinois Bone and Joint Institute who was lucky enough to work with arguably the National Basketball Association’s greatest player of all time, shares his thoughts in a newly released memoir—The Ball’s in Your Court. Dr. Lewis has worked with the likes of Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and Bill Veeck during his career. We caught up with the Bannockburn resident recently to learn more. What inspired you to write this book? As the orthopedic consultant for the Chicago Bulls during their last two championship seasons, I wrote the book to take readers behind the scenes, while sharing life lessons that I have learned from Michael Jordan and Continued on PG 14

With a front porch and gorgeous outdoor space, this Nantucket home at 325 Richmond Road in Kenilworth, offered by Jena Radnay with @properties, is just what today’s young buyers are looking for. BY MITCH HURST THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

While we await hard data about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the real estate market, an informal survey of Realtors™ on the North Shore reveals the market is not only alive and well—it’s thriving. According to local agents and brokers, a number of factors is driving an uptick of interest in North Shore homes from families currently

residing in Chicago. These factors include the need for office space if work-at-home becomes a more permanent fixture of corporate life, and concerns about continued spread of the virus in more densely populated neighborhoods. "Things are still moving and the market might be even better than before COVID-19," says Luke Mutter, a broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Lake Forest. "I'm seeing more activity now than back in 2007." One of the recent phenomena driving increased demand for North Shore homes is simple: When

the whole family is home at once, for months on end, the need for more space in undeniable. Families with young children who may have waited to move to the suburbs until their children were of school age, especially those with two working parents, are speeding up their move to the suburbs—even before their children reach school age. "What today's suburban buyer is after is a Continued on PG 12

From PG 1

basement or an extra bedroom for an office to work properly from home," Mutter says. "What I'm hearing from the corporate side is that instead of paying a car allowance or a gym allowance that maybe they pay employees an extra $1,000 per month to offset the mortgage to get a bigger home with that fifth bedroom." In addition to changes in how we might work post-pandemic, Mutter says possible long-term social distancing requirements also could play a role in demand for less densely populated areas like the North Shore. "A suburban home is bigger and wider and has more space," says Mutter. "If it's got a swimming pool, that's the ultimate in social distance. Some of the kids can be in the shallow end and the other kids can be in the deep end." As for some of the urban amenities that draw and keep people in Chicago, Mutter continues to be an advocate for local restaurants and other businesses in Lake Forest that help maintain a hometown feel. "If you live in the suburbs and want to maintain your home price, make sure you're buying books from the local bookstore and buying bicycles from Kiddles instead of trek.com," Mutter says. "Who wants to buy a four-bedroom colonial in a dormitory town with no restaurants or shops?"

SUBURBAN BOOM While many real estate professionals on the North Shore saw a slowdown in transactions during the economic shutdown, most say it was due to the practical issues of stay-at-home orders and offices being closed rather than any movements in the markets. "A lot of our listings have gone under contract and some have had multiple offers," says Gloria Matlin of the Matlin Group, a Compass broker based in Wilmette. "Houses that were sitting and sitting on the market are now selling and that's a result of people being able to get out and about." In addition to clients wanting to leave the city, Matlin says that there's also a desire for families, both young and old, that have moved away from the North Shore to move back during uncertain times. "Empty-nesters who moved into the city have kids who are coming back to the North Shore and so they don't want to be in the city anymore," Matlin says. "People are coming back from the East Coast who don't want to be there anymore and want to be closer to family." Matlin says uncertainty around COVID-19 and a possible second wave has created an urgency in the market that is making want to get clients settled as quickly as possible. "That's why we've seen a surge in the last two months," Matlin says. "There's this opportunity that they might not see again." Anne Malone, an agent with the Winnetka office of the Dawn McKenna Real Estate Group, says the COVID-19 shutdown has made many families rethink their current living situations and look at alternative options. "It's been kind of a double punch with the COVID-19 and living in the city, where there are wonderful factors but there are drawbacks—especially if you're cooped up with your two kids in your two-bedroom apartment and the amenities in your building are no longer accessible," Malone says. "Suddenly a house in the suburbs with a backyard and access to the beach and all other kinds of amenities seems like a really nice switch." Malone mentions one client with a single-family Greystone in the city who thought they would

After being stuck in the city during the pandemic, many urban families now seek a suburban oasis such as this beautifully landscaped property with seasonal lake views at 546 Elm in East Winnetka, offered by Anne Malone of Engel & Volkers, Chicago. be in the city for the long haul but the past few months have convinced them that they wanted more space and it just felt right to be in the suburbs. "I feel like there's probably a long-lasting trend that people no longer want to stay in the city and that the city is not as attractive as they once thought it was," says Malone.

NEW WAY OF DOING BUSINESS As an example of how business has evolved and adapted during the pandemic, Malone cites a client from Switzerland who purchased a $1.2 million home on the North Shore without ever physically seeing the property. "We looked at a lot of different homes online, but they zeroed in on this one home and we FaceTimed and they loved it and bought," she says. "This was right at the height of the virus." Jena Radnay, a broker with @properties based in Winnetka, says what we're seeing now in the market with a bump in real estate transactions is a predictable outcome of the shutdown. "In March when this whole thing went down, everyone was gearing up and the market froze," Radnay says. "It didn't decline as far as value. It didn't bust. It just froze." Radnay says the pandemic might have pushed some city dwellers to speed up a move to the suburbs that they would have eventually made anyway. "What happened was if anyone was on the edge of leaving the city, the COVID-19 helped them get over the hump," says Radnay. Talk to any broker or agent on the North Shore the past few years and they will tell you it's been a buyer's market, and one major question for brokers these days is if the market on the North Shore is shifting from buyer to seller. "It's actually kind of changing. It's a seller's market because we don't have enough inventory, we don't have enough product for demand," Radnay says. "We have sellers getting into the market and I have multiple bids on properties in great locations close to the lake and to trains and schools. It's a nice seller's market right now which is a big departure from what we've had." Ted Pickus, a broker with @properties in Highland Park, says he's seeing an uptick in millennials who are ready to make their suburban move away from the city earlier than they may have expected. "I have five new clients that fit this mold. They said, 'We were thinking we were going to move to the suburbs in a couple of years but now we want to move now,'" Pickus says. "They packed up and

came out here after being locked in for a month. They want space, and I feel that's really what is driving the suburban market right now." Pickus adds that for work-at-home parents of young children, the idea of having more space is one of the appealing aspects of the North Shore. "You know in Chicago and the Midwest it only applies to a certain time of year but it's the idea of having outdoor space where the kids can go run around and you don't have to worry about them and you can have some privacy and do your Zoom calls," he says. Low interest rates continue to be a motivator for buyers, and the uncertainty of the upcoming election and what may continue to happen with the economy is a factor in how swiftly buyers may be looking to lock in a purchase. ACCELERATING MOMENTUM "When the stay-in-place order was issued, the future pace of our traditional North Shore spring

move-now plans. And these low interest rates are a great incentive to buy the long-term house now." As with many other brokers and realtors, Laura Fitzpatrick, a senior broker with @properties in Wilmette, continued to do business as usual during the COVID-19 spread and, other than the practical implication of completing transactions, didn't see a dip in the market. "My experience with the market during the shutdown was that I didn't see any slowdown in my own business," Fitzpatrick says. "I had clients that were taking advantage of great opportunities, including some who were on the fence and decided to purchase a home." Fitzpatrick says that, oddly enough, the shutdown might have given people the time to think about their futures and their living situations and if they needed a different environment. "People did have time on their hands and when they weren't working, they were online checking websites. I saw an increase in my traffic online for my property listings and people seemed to be more focused," says Fitzpatrick. "People who were curious about real estate were definitely looking and thinking about their forever home and taking the next step."

MARKET CONTINUES TO THRIVE As the market shifts in favor of sellers, brokers say that doesn’t necessarily have a significant impact on how homes should be priced. Not just yet. “Everyone, when they sell their house, if they have their house appraised, they’re going to use comps from the last 12 months and it’s going to take a while for the appraisals to reflect that,” Ted Pickus says. “It’s not going to happen overnight.” Also, what hasn’t changed is what today’s buyers are looking for. With few exceptions, they are not interested in fixer uppers. “If you look at all the homes that have been on the market and have been there for a long time, the homeowners have had ambitious pricing,” Mutter says. “The homeowners will say, ‘This bathroom has been fine for 30 years and I don’t understand why someone can’t make an offer and just change it out.’ You might as well just not sell the house.” While the trend now seems to be a migration from city to suburbia, Radnay says this isn’t a form

of competition between the two, and once we emerge from the economic shutdown, all markets will thrive. “The city market by any means has not fallen apart,” she says. “I work for @properties and we’re number one in Chicago, and I’ll tell you right now I’m talking to all of my peers in the city and they’re doing just fine.” THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Failure is a stepping stone to success. Olympic gold figure skater Shizuka Arakawa fell approximately 20,000 times during her years of training, but she also got up 20,000 times. Michael Jordan missed 26 game-winning shots, and as he stated, “I can accept failure; what I cannot accept is not trying.” Perfectionism is also always in play. I once saw Jerry Krause with packed bags leaving for the airport during the playoffs. He told me he was going to Europe to scout a player. When I inquired why he didn’t simply watch film of his games, he replied that he wanted to observe his body language when he was sitting on the bench. These greats also demonstrated how to handle adversity. Bulls Center Bill Wennington sustained a foot injury just before the playoffs in 1997. I had to tell him that he would not be able to participate in the playoffs. Naturally he was upset, but he stated, “I have had a good run. I have been in the league for 10 years and most people’s NBA career only lasts three or four years.”

I developed close relationships with the players, coaches, and Chicago Bulls’ former General Manager Jerry Krause, which has given me a unique perspective. In addition, another reason for writing this memoir is that all of the profits will go to the Himalayan Cataract Project. An organization co-founded by my friend and colleague, Dr. Geoffrey Tabin, more than 30 years ago, has been responsible for more than 900,000 cataract surgeries in underserved countries in Africa and Southeast Asia. Dr. Tabin not only performs the surgery, but also teaches local doctors how to accomplish the operation. One acquaintance

Do you still keep in contact with any of the athletes you worked with? I am still in touch with Bill Wennington, who is currently an announcer for the Bulls games and lives in the Chicago area. I am also in touch with Wilbur Wood, who was an All-Star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox when I was an orthopedic consultant for the team in the 1970s. I am happy to report that both have told me they loved the book and highly recommend it. The Ball’s in Your Court can be purchased on amazon.com.

HOMETOWN ACTRESS APPEARS IN DEBUT NORTH SHORE NATIVE RUSTY SCHWIMMER DISCUSSES HER RECENT ROLE IN THE NEW VIDEO-ON-DEMAND FILM, THE SHORT HISTORY OF THE LONG ROAD. basically anyone who guest starred on Bewitched. And I studied Carol Burnett religiously every weekend. She showed me you didn't have to be glamorous; you could be funny one moment and devastating the next, taking people on rollercoasters of feelings, and still have a normal conversation like she did at every show. So, when everybody wanted to be the lead at New Trier, I was happy to play the supporting role. They were more fun and usually meatier.

with me. We're now writing a web series together. So fun.

Are you still in touch with classmates from that time? Oh, where do I begin? Still very close with Virginia Madsen. She's a godsend. We can be 14 years old together when things get a little tense in our business. I'm not really comfortable on the red carpet or doing "movie star" stuff and she keeps it fun for me. I moved back to Chicago a few years ago and reconnected with my friends who were in musicals

Children's Fair at the Village Green in Winnetka. I couldn't wait for that every year when my family still lived in Winnetka—or riding my bike on the Green Bay Trail. My sisters and I still talk about the Good Humor truck always parked somewhere at the Skokie Lagoon and the vegetable stand … on Hibbard, I think? We used to get corn there in the summers, until my mom started growing it herself in our front yard in Glencoe.

INTERVIEW BY GREGG SHAPIRO THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Where would we be without great actresses in memorable supporting roles? Think of Ann Dowd in Hereditary, Margo Martindale in Blow the Man Down, Regina King in If Beale Street Could Talk, and Pamela Adlon in The King of Staten Island. Natural born scene-stealers all. If you haven’t done so already, add the name Rusty Schwimmer to that list. In The Short History of the Long Road, Schwimmer plays Marcie, a woman whose offer of aid to homeless teen Nola (Sabrina Carpenter) comes with conditions and expectations the girl simply can’t meet. North Shore native (growing up in both Winnetka and Glencoe) Schwimmer was kind enough to answer a few questions for The North Shore Weekend before the film made its summer 2020 video-ondemand debut. What was it about the character of Marcie in The Short History of the Long Road that appealed to you and made you want to portray her? When I was growing up, I had what I thought was a very practical vision of raising 10 children and living in the woods somewhere while also acting on Broadway. I realized, not too long into young adulthood, that it was not practical to do all those things simultaneously. The beauty of being an actor is I get to try all the things I wanted to do or be. Also, Marcie is a woman I've seen or met several times in my travels. Kind of a low-key Superwoman who appears to have it all together. And then through observation or talking to them, I discover they have most surprising "kryptonite”—their humanity. I'm fascinated by people like that.

When we first meet Marcie, she’s thoughtful and generous towards Nola, and then her real self— which is both religious and strict—comes through. What was it like to play a character with two such distinct sides to her personality? I think everyone has both lightness and darkness in them. I think both facets of Marcie are her "real self.” I feel Marcie had a lot of fear about the world and her way of controlling it was either busying herself to avoid dealing with fear, like Nola, or creating boundaries to make sure the fear doesn't seep into her home, her safe haven. So, I actually didn't see it as playing such opposites.

Nola is remarkably self-sufficient for someone so young, as well as someone who is still mourning the loss of her father. What did you think of Sabrina Carpenter’s portrayal of Nola? I think Sabrina killed it! She never forced it. I was fortunate to be working the first day of shooting and she was all in. I have to admit, I didn't know how popular she was when we met so I didn't have any preconceived notions about her. I remember thinking I really liked her speaking voice—not affected, surprisingly low, and powerful for such a tiny human. And she brought all of that and more to her amazing performance. Nola befriends Blue, a girl close to her own age while she is in New Mexico, and Blue explains the difference between biological and logical family to Nola. Are you someone who has remained close to her biological family or are you someone who prefers the company of chosen family? Anyone who knows me knows that my sisters are

Do you have any fond memories of the North Shore region that you’d care to share with the readers? My family and friends still live on the North Shore so I'm able to get back there a lot. I live in the city when I'm not working on location and it's fun to drive from home to see my family and take Sheridan Road the whole way there. I have great memories. I was just talking to someone about the

Rusty Schwimmer PHOTO COURTESY OF FILMRISE my life. I'm very close to my family … my cousins, nieces, and nephew. Even my little sister-in-laws are my family now. That being said, when I lived in Los Angeles, none of my family lived close by so I created a chosen family there. I'm very fortunate I still have friends from childhood and my early days in acting and restaurant jobs. And I seem to collect one or two people from each film I've done. Speaking of family and growing up, when you were younger, you attended high school at New Trier Township High School (New Trier). What was that experience like for you? Again, so fortunate to have had a nice time at New Trier. It's not easy. With s many students and so many people striving for excellence, one can be easily intimidated. Either I was fearless or just ignorant; I don't know. I was accepted into a lot of groups and in the theater department. I call all the theater departments in all schools "The Land of Misfit Toys.” Everyone may be a little cracked or a little different but welcomed with open arms. Even if you weren't necessarily talented or ambitious, you could be on stage crew (where some of the smartest people I know hung out) or sewing costumes or student directing. I also had older sisters who helped me figure things out.

I’m glad you mentioned the theater department, because New Trier is renowned for its nurturing of its creative and artistic students. Was this where you first explored your interest in acting or was that something that started before you were enrolled there? For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be an actor. My parents would buy me books that were devoted to only character actors. I was obsessed with Thelma Ritter, Charlotte Rae, Marjorie Main, and

SPEED RACER WINNETKA TEEN BRYCE ARON IS REVVING HIS ENGINE IN ENGLAND THIS SUMMER TO LIVE OUT HIS DREAM OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL RACE CAR CHAMPION. RECENT PRESS OUT OF EUROPE CONFIRMS HE’S ALREADY WELL ON HIS WAY. BY MONICA KASS ROGERS AND SHERRY THOMAS THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

The day Bryce Aron turned 16, he not only got his Illinois driver’s license, he got his Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA)-sanctioned professional car racing license. “It’s true,” he says with a smile, explaining that he had to have both to compete in England’s iconic Formula Ford Festival, where he was the youngest race car driver on the track. One of three drivers chosen to represent America as part of Team USA in the World Cup there, Bryce’s participation came at the conclusion of a brilliant first year in professional racing. He placed third in the U.S. National 2019 Pro Formula 1600 series, among a host of other racing wins. Such a strong first showing earned the Winnetka teen an invitation to drive with the Low Dempsey Racing (formerly Cliff Dempsey) team in the UK, where he was set to compete for the 2020 season. Running from April to October, the UK racing year typically culminates with the Formula Ford Festival and the Walter Hayes Trophy race. His dream was to be the first American in history to win the Festival’s main event. Then COVID-19 happened, and all those best laid plans took a different route—one that saw Bryce set off on his own to England earlier this month, first to self-quarantine, then to race with his teammates. Earlier this week, we spoke with his parents, Jordan and Alyson Aron, about Bryce’s dream and how the recent pandemic altered (but did not cancel) his plans for the summer. “Bryce is in the Midlands of England, living with the team principal and teammate in Bridgestock,” explains Jordan, owner of Imperial Motors Jaguar of Lake Bluff. “He went on June 6, knowing they would be limiting people coming into the country.” While the national championship schedule has been cut in half, starting in July this year rather than April, Bryce will be racing in the UK National Championships with The Champion of Brands and then, Castle Combe, through the summer and into the fall. Alyson says he will continue his classes at New Trier Township High School (NTHS) online when school starts up again, so he doesn’t have to fly back and forth to compete. And while nothing about this summer has gone as planned, Alyson and Jordan say they are happy that Bryce is able to continue to follow his dream, despite the pandemic. “It’s not without some hesitation that we

sent him, but there was really no way around it. Either you forfeit the season, or you go,” says Alyson, who is hoping to get over to England to meet up with her son by early August. “We never thought we’d be sending our 16-year-old off to England during a global pandemic to drive race cars alone, but there was no other choice.” As Jordan adds, “it’s his passion and his dream and we support him.” Bryce says he’s loved cars as long as he can remember. “My parents tell me my first sentence was, ‘I see car.’ So even when I was really little, I wanted to find a way to pursue cars as my passion,” he explained in an interview earlier this year. “I was like, ‘But how do I do that?’ Watching car races on TV—Top Gear, Formula One, Indy Car, my 4-year-old-self thought: ‘Racing! That’s how I’ll do it!’” And he hasn’t stopped since. “I’m ultra-competitive,” laughed the rising NTHS junior, who manages to maintain a 4.0 grade average, despite the intensity of commitment that racing requires. Racing cars and mastering everything about them

in the push toward faster speeds and bigger wins, consumes him. Touring the Lamborghini headquarters with his father during a family vacation in Italy when he was 8 years old made a big impression, who spent the tour asking questions about racing and learned about go-karts—the entry ramp to professional car racing. “After that visit, I went from, ‘I want to race,’ to ‘I have to race,’” he said. “From then on, it was just me asking, ‘When can I do go-karts? When can I start in go-karts?’ which probably annoyed the heck out of my mom and dad.” Despite initial reservations, Alyson and Jordan did research and agreed to take Bryce to a recreational indoor go-kart track to try it out. “The kart was way too big for him,” Alyson recalls, “but he just took to it. He seemed to just naturally know what to do.” Bryce’s ease with speed and maneuverability, and his unrelenting determination to race, eventually led to participation in competitive go-kart racing on an outdoor

| SATURDAY JULY 4 | SUNDAY JULY 5 2020

track when he was 10. That first go-kart race remains one of his most memorable. “It was a brilliant, sunny day,” he says. “We didn’t have great equipment or a big group of supporters standing there. But there I was, on the grid, ready to race, and my dad leaned in and said to me with this huge smile, ‘This is where it all starts!’ And then as soon as I drove off, immediately there was the speed, the feeling of being one with the machine, pushing it to the absolute limit. I loved it.” Bryce placed fifth in the race, and with each subsequent competition, has learned and improved, advancing from go-karts, to the Formula 1600 cars he races now. Hints of the racing life peek out at the edges of the family home in Winnetka: Go-karting trophies in one corner stand almost four-feet tall. A half-dozen racing coveralls hang in the coatroom, with two helmets on the shelf. And Bryce’s first go-kart—now a battered relic—hangs quietly in the garage. But his room is the motherlode. Shelves wink and sparkle, lined with trophies, medals, racing swag, and empty champagne bottles (traditionally handed out to winners on the THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

NEWS podium and filled with liquid that he has been too young to actually drink.) But despite the trove of riches, Bryce keeps a quiet profile when he’s at school, doesn’t talk much about racing with his friends and maintains the disciplines required to fulfill his dream of one day making it to the top of motor sports. “Friends know I race, but most do not really understand it,” he said earlier this year. “They hear racing and think NASCAR, which is on an oval track, and Ricky Bobby. Open wheel, which is what I race with the Formula 1600/Formula Ford cars, is different. These are open cockpit, single-seater cars mostly driven on road courses with right, left, and hairpin curves.” “Someone once described driving these cars as akin to wrestling a giant wild boar while traveling at speeds in excess of 150 mph and passing others who are trying to hold onto their own wild boars,” adds Alyson. “And all of this takes place in conditions that are sometimes treacherous.” A great deal of physical strength, and endurance, plus intense mental focus, and strategy are required to succeed. To achieve this, Bryce works out daily, with a focus on building shoulder, arm, and abdominal strength. He also analyzes film footage from races—his own, as well as races won by motor sport stars such as Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton. “People may think of racing as a one-person thing … just the driver behind the wheel

of a very fast car,” says Bryce. “But it really is a team effort. I may be in the car by myself, but it’s the team—from the driver coach, to the data engineer, to the engineer, to the mechanics, that leads to success.” Bryce explains that each Formula 1600 car he races is equipped both with an onboard camera, and a data-logging unit that captures the minutiae of everything he does on the track, from throttle, braking, and shifting inputs, to steering. Studying the video footage and data with his coaches and engineers is what helps Aron find ways to correct movements and strategize toward faster times. It’s something he studies every day. “Am I a little bit too wide in turn three? Or too narrow? Am I taking a late apex? Early apex? Am I on throttle too early? Am I braking too early, or if I’m braking too late—am I overcharging the corner? Studying all of this allows me to break things down to a couple of feet, or even inches. Because in a race, if I am breaking a foot later than another racer, that could add 1/100th of a second to my time. And in this setting, where races can be won by a couple thousandths of a second, that can mean the difference between a win or a loss.” Because Bryce is a perfectionist, his biggest challenge has been not beating himself up mentally if he makes even the slightest mistake on the track. “If I get down on myself and get stuck there, it affects me in the car. It’s hard to bounce back, but you have

to stay out of your head. Because if you get frustrated or angry, it shows immediately in your race performance. If I lock a brake and spin, for example, or get too sideways and lose time on a qualifying lap, I have to brush it out of my mind right away. I can’t say, ‘Dang it! I screwed up!’ I have to immediately say, ‘OK I made a mistake, now move on!’ And put it to the back of my mind.” His mantra is that you either win, or if you come in second, you are the first person to lose. “Ultimately? I want to make it to the top of motor sports. I want to be paid to do my dream. So, I’m aiming to make it to Indy Car, or to the absolute pinnacle which would be Formula 1,” he explains. At the end of the day, Bryce concludes, “This is not just something I’m doing for fun, this is something I want to do for the rest of my life. I put my heart and soul into it. I get out of a race car and I’m still thinking about it. I go to sleep thinking about it. I wake up thinking about it. How can I be faster? How can I win? I’m willing to do anything to get there.” Anything. Even if it means flying to England in the middle of a pandemic. “He was just written up in a European magazine as one of the Top 10 Drivers to Watch in 2020,” adds Alyson. “Lots of passion from that kid and just amazing to hear him talk and watch what he does on track.” For more information visit, brycearon.com.

MAKING THE GRADE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY ALUMNUS DR. WILLIAM YATES IS ALWAYS ONE CUT ABOVE—FIRST IN HAIR RESTORATION AND NOW IN THE PRODUCTION OF COVID-19 PROTECTION DEVICES. BY BILL MCLEAN ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT

When William Yates’ grades slipped his freshman year at Kenwood Academy in Chicago, his parents made him quit basketball. He’d have to settle for elevating his 6-foot-something frame and taking one-versus-none jumpers in Yateswear, rather than in Kenwood Broncos garb, between study sessions and in front of zero spectators. Time permitting, of course. Yates’ grades rocketed after the subtraction of the extracurricular activity. The future senior class president would win “Most Likely to Succeed” honors in an Incumbent Runs Uncontestedtype landslide three years later. Yates’ immediate reaction to the abrupt benching by Mom and Dad, a pair of teachers by day? “Relief,” says Yates, now the Northwestern University-educated Dr. William Yates, who transitioned seamlessly from 15-year intensive care trauma surgeon to owner of Yates Hair Science Group, LLC, in 2013. “Basketball practices were time-consuming. “I didn’t mind moving sports off my plate.” Dr. Yates—“The Hair Loss Medical Doctor,” a leader, by a few country miles, in his field, and active in orgs like the Alzheimer’s Association and Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change—somehow found room on his heaping, crowded career/philanthropic platter to open Chicago-based Yates Enterprises (YE) in 2018. He used his medical experience and business acumen to create YE, which markets products for the safety of the United States and its people. A year later YE would find itself at the forefront of our country’s response to the burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic. “I created Yates Enterprises because of the prevalence of gun violence, school shootings in particular,” says Dr. Yates, who lives in Chicago’s South Loop with his wife, Isaure, a medical doctor specializing in geriatric care at nursing homes. “I wanted to decrease gun violence through the installment of our metal detectors at schools. Some parents told me they didn’t like the optics of metal detectors in schools. My response to them was, ‘Better those optics than the optics of your child in a coffin’.” In December 2019, when reports of COV I D - 1 9 abroad were two-

lines located along the southern regions of news websites, the prescient Dr. Yates and his Yates Enterprises teammates huddled again, this time to come up with a plan to help combat an invisible menace and protect people of all ages. “I saw what was going on in China and other countries,” Dr. Yates says. “I saw the use of non-contact thermal devices at airports. The world is so small; we don’t live in isolation. We knew non-contact temperature detectors, at some point, would likely be needed in this country, so we did some research. And then researched some more. We paid attention to what was going on in the world and reacted quickly. “We looked at a thermal device as an extension of our metal detector.” YE produced a range of COVID-19 protection products—walk-through, wall-mounted, and handheld thermal detectors, among others— by the end of March and sold them to more than 100 entities, including food service warehouse, bakeries, manufacturing plants, big box stores, nonprofits, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. “Our aim was to do what we could to help the economy reopen as safely as possible during the pandemic,” says Dr. Yates, the father of four sons. Yates Enterprises is believed to be the first Black-owned business to focus on public safety measures related to COVID-19. YE’s founder and CEO, at a young age, excelled at the battery-operated game Operation, mastering the steady removal of boardgame patient Cavity Sam’s ailments with a pair of tweezers (originally known as the Electro Probe). Whenever Dr. Yates held and guided the pincers, Cavity Sam’s Bozo-like nose rarely turned red—one of the dreaded results of a player’s tweezers grazing a metal edge during an unsuccessful extraction attempt. The other? The startling sound of a buzzer. “I’d wanted to be a doctor since I was 5,” D r. Ya t e s recalls. “Our family doctor, Dr. Walter MacFarland, had a major influence on me. I’d see him t w o, three times a year, and we’d talk about things,

about his field. He was good-looking and smart. I wanted to do what he did.” Dr. Yates earned a BS in medical science at Northwestern University and earned his MD after completing NU’s Honors Program in medical education. He started his career as a surgeon for BJC HealthCare in St. Louis and shifted one-and-a-half decades later to the field of hair restoration. Bosley, an industry leader in hair transplant and restoration services, had flown Dr. Yates to Beverly Hills, California, and recruited him to practice at its Chicago location in 2005. Yates underwent a hair transplant in Oak Brook in 2000, a surgical transfer “that pleasantly shocked and overwhelmingly thrilled me,” he says. He then worked with Ziering Medical Hair Restoration in Oak Brook from 2011-13 before his eponymous hair science group took root. The group—its two locations stand in Chicago and Oak Brook—presents state-of-the-art options for all hair loss sufferers. Yates was the first transplant surgeon in the Midwest to offer Follicle Unit Extraction (FUE). “No scarring; no plugs,” Dr. Yates says. “We take what we do seriously. It’s not a factory atmosphere; ours is one that seeks a genuine bond with each patient, and we limit the number of surgeries to one or two per day.” Two of his four sons still live in the Chicago area. Seeing all of them become smarter, more independent thinkers elates him. Fatherhood has been rewarding. Pieces of advice he relayed to the quartet still stick, none more than the counsel he has adhered to for decades. It’s an ideal approach to social interaction in contentious times— in any time, really—and it involves grades. “I’ve told my kids to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove you wrong,” Dr. Yates says. “Everybody I meet for the first time, I give them an ‘A’ right away. I then listen closely and get to know that person. Sometimes my grade remains an ‘A’ at the end of the conversation; sometimes it drops. “I’m always hopeful the grade stays an ‘A’.” For more information about Dr. Yates Hair Science, call 312-273-9025 or visit dryateshairscience.com.
