Parents Seek Controls As ‘Fortnite’ Grows
All in the Family BOY SCOUT TROOPS PREP TO GO CO-ED
BY LIBBY ELLIOTT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
Video-game fads come and go. Mario Kart, Minecraft and Pokemon Go have all had their 15 minutes of red-hot fame. Remember when every child in America desperately wanted a Nintendo Wii? (Cue tumbleweeds.) But no game has struck fear in the hearts of parents quite like Fortnite, the newest video game craze — released by Epic Games in July 2017 — that’s swept the nation, turning not just teens, but also college students and adults into serious gaming addicts. Fortnite is a game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows, Mac and mobile that offers players two modes: a solo version called Save the World, and the hugely popular multiplayer version called Battle Royale. According to recent statistics published in The New York Times, Fortnite generated more than $223 million in March 2018 alone - up 73% from February - making it the largest free-to-play console game of all time in terms of revenue generated and monthly active users. “It’s the thing now,” said Winnetka resident Jill Andrews, who has two daughters in college, one in high school, and a 7th grade son. “You’re seeing it in every frat house, dorm room and basement.” Described by the Times as a cross between Continued on PG 10

Boy Scouts of America, the second largest youth organization in the United States, is going co-ed.
This fall, Cub Scout pack and den leaders across the country will officially open their doors to girls, paving the way for a new, groundbreaking approach the Boy Scouts of America calls “Family Scouting,” and a fundamental restructuring of dens, troops and packs that would allow girls to earn BSA’s
prestigious Eagle Scout rank. On June 1, BSA’s Northeast Illinois Council (NEIC), along with 271 BSA councils across the country, rolled out genderneutral Cub Scout handbooks and marketing Continued on PG 10

Dr. Renee Dominguez, executive director of the large, organized tournaments. laughing. ALL IN THE FAMILY Cont. from PG 1 materials in preparation for the organization’s fall 2018 recruiting season, when girls aged 5-10 will be formally welcomed into the Cub Scouting community. Headquartered in Highland Park, the NEIC has 261 units with 2,950 adult volunteers serving over 15,000 members each year. Nearly 3,700 Scouts attended NEIC’s camps last year. “In years past when I would hold recruitment events, a few girls would always show up looking to join,” said Zachary Knoch, senior district executive of the NEIC. “All I could do was send them to the Girl Scouts. Up until now, we haven’t been able to serve all kids in what we feel is a great program.” An estimated 4,000 girls nationwide have already participated BSA’s 3-month, soft-launch Early Adopter program that kicked off in January of this year, including three new female Cub Scouts who joined packs in Highwood, Lake Bluff and Mundelein. But Knoch said local interest in BSA’s new Family Scouting program is rapidly gaining traction. As part of the organization’s national Scout Me In marketing campaign, the NEIC welcomed approximately 125 boys and girls at a recent BSAsponsored Fun Day on May 19 in Libertyville’s Adler Park, featuring Cub Mobile rides, climbing walls and an archery range. Family Scouting was showcased again at a recent recruitment night in Lake Bluff, attended by five girls and seven boys. Under BSA’s new co-ed structure, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts, however, BSA’s chartered partner organizations – predominantly faith-based institutions or civic groups like Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions Club may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens, or remain an all-boy pack. “We are very interested in 3rd party input,” said Knoch. “We don’t want to make arbitrary decisions.”
10
Cub Scout dens will be single gender, but boys and girls will join together for pack events like Pinewood Derby, campfires, and camps. Executive Board members of Lake Bluff ’s Pack 42 plan to meet soon to discuss the issue of going co-ed. “If there’s interest and enough parent volunteers to organize meetings and activities, we’ll find a way to make it happen,” said Kristin Flentye, who has two sons in Cub Scouts and currently serves as the pack’s membership coordinator. Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts program, the organization will also deliver a new program for older girls, aged 11-17, to be launched in February 2019, allowing them to earn the Eagle Scout rank. This new program, featuring both separate and linked troops for girls and boys, will be renamed “Scouts BSA.” Convenience, say BSA officials, is the primary force driving the organization’s decision to go coed. BSA research suggests that today’s dual-earning and single-parent families are busier than ever, with less free time to devote to gender-exclusive activities. “We found that families with both boys and girls are being split and often have to make a decision about where to concentrate their time,” said Knoch. According to Knoch, sisters have been a presence at Cub Scouting events for years, often out of necessity when one or both parents are involved on behalf of a brother. “Girls would tag along to the meetings and do all the activities but wouldn’t get the badge or the recognition,” said Knoch. But not everyone is buying in to the notion that girls belong in Boy Scouts. Nancy Wright, CEO of Girl Scouts of Chicago and Northwest Indiana, believes girl-only scouting is more important now than ever before. “What we’re seeing throughout the marketplace is that digital technology and social media have actually amplified the need for all-girl, safe spaces to help girls build self-esteem and navigate their way through the complexities of today’s world,” said
Wright. “We’re very confident in the environment we’ve created for girls. That hasn’t changed.” At the same time, Wright also understands that families may seek coed scouting to suit their lifestyle. “People are going to make that decision themselves,” said Wright. “We are not going to judge what parents choose.” Even Knoch and his BSA colleagues admit the future of girls in Boy Scouting is still unclear; widespread demand for coed packs within the Northeast Illinois Council remains to be determined and transition could take several years. “I won’t lie…this is a big change for us,” said Knoch. “But when you look at scouting across the globe, Boy Scouts of America is one of the few programs that’s

not coed,” said Knoch. Of the 169 countries with Scout groups governed by the World Organization of the Scout Movement—which includes the Boy Scouts of America— just 13 prohibit girls from joining, including Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Swaziland, Barbados, and Papua New Guinea. Scouts Canada has been co-ed since 1993. For Knoch, a former Eagle Scout, who now lives in Mount Prospect with his wife, two sons and daughter, the advent of coed scouting here in the United States is a welcomed opportunity for precious family time. Once they’re old enough, Knoch plans to enroll all his children in Cub Scouts. “I’m excited that we can do this together,” said Knoch.

Winnetka Music Fest: Music, Food, Beer & More BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
Organizers of the second Winnetka Music Festival are stepping it up a notch following the success of last year’s weekend-long event, which attracted more than 10,000 people. Expect more stages, more food, more beer tents — and most importantly — more music acts than last year at the free event on June 15 and 16. “The whole point of the festival is to introduce people to new music,” Val Haller, founder and music curator of the festival, told DailyNorthShore. Haller said she deliberately did not bring back the same bands a second time, providing attendees an opportunity to hear new music. This year’s festival will include five stages — three main stages (a new main stage was added this year behind the Winnetka Community House) — as well as a children’s stage in Dwyer Park, and a more intimate stage in the Winnetka Chapel. Music acts will rotate among the stages, encouraging people to move around the festival to catch everything. This year’s lineup includes more music on Friday night, as well as music all day on Saturday at the Winnetka Chapel. The chapel setting is an intimate, inside alternative, where festival-goers will find specialty music genres, Haller said. The lineup includes opera, gospel choir, jazz, acoustic singersongwriters, as well as guitarist Jake Allen, who plays a 12-string guitar. While last year on Friday night there were two acts, this year the festival will open with four acts that Haller describes as an “eclectic line-up” that

Interactive drum company Rhythm Revolution (a fan favorite at Lollapalooza’s kids’ stage) will get families moving. “Moms and dads will love this as much as the kids,” Haller said. There will also be fun crafts and activities in Low Cut Connie.

There will be more food trucks, as well as more beer tents throughout the festival. “We know that food is very important and will make people hang and stay,” Haller noted. Local restaurants also plan to offer easy take-away items for the festival. A new central merchandise tent will also be located by the bridge, where people can by CDs, T-shirts and other band merchandise. Local kids will be performing as street musicians throughout the festival, performing on street corners, and in restaurants and stores. A few tips when planning to attend the Winnetka Music Festival: • Parking is limited and large crowds are expected and so plan to take public transportation (the Metra train stops steps away from the music festival), walk or ride a bicycle • Take a look at the music line-up on the festival’s website and plan your day accordingly. Each act has links to their music if you want to listen in advance • If you are taking a baby or toddler Haller recommends healthy listening. Baby muffs that are noise canceling can be purchased ranging from $10 to $40 online • Expect to walk a lot if you want to check out all of the music. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and bring sunscreen For more information about the Winnetka Music Festival go to www.winnetkamusicfestival.com.

The display, “Lighthouses on the Mag Mile”, celebrates a call to action of access and inclusion for people with disabilities. This free exhibition includes 51 six-foot tall lighthouse sculptures that were created by national and local artists — disabled and ablebodied included. The artists will share their views on access and inclusion, which people can listen to on a smart phone application. The event is sponsored by The Chicago Lighthouse, a social service organization that serves the blind, visually impaired, disabled and veteran communities. Sandie Bacon and John Hatlestad of Lake Bluff collaborated on a lighthouse sculpture for the event. “It is both an honor and humbling to be selected for a public art project, but the best part is that it provides an opportunity to communicate with a wide swath of people who otherwise might not be engaged,” Bacon told DailyNorthShore. When Bacon and Haltelstad considered how a blind person might “read” the lighthouse, they decided to focus on textures. The bottom third of their sculpture is stucco, while the top is smooth with a metallic copper dome and windows. They also included actual roots and branches, stripped of their bark, embracing the lighthouse,

reaching toward the light. “Growing plants, branches and roots are symbols of accessibility (stars and the moon, trees, dogs ... and an ever burning light in the windows of the dome),” Bacon said. Hillary LaffMeyers, a painter f rom Deerfield, was excited to participate in the Lighthouse project. “To have Left: Diane Rakocy with her Lighthouse sculpture.

be so cool to be part of a public art project like that. And the fact that this year’s event is sponsored by The Chicago Lighthouse Organization is a complete win-win because they do so much good in the world and now I’m a part of that too,” said Rakocy. Rakocy focused on the beauty inside of a person when she painted her lighthouse sculpture. “To me, access and inclusion is all about seeing the beauty inside a person — no matter what the circumstances are on the outside. I wanted to create a piece that was both representative of that concept and of the way I paint,” she said. The Lighthouse project is the first time the studio Arts of Life in Glenview participated in a large-scale public arts project. Arts of Life is a nonprofit organization that advances the creative arts community by providing artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities a collective space. The studio’s lighthouse entitled “Eyes” was a collaborative project painted by more than 30 community members and artists with and without disabilities. It’s comprised of 200 unique sets of painted eyes of all shapes, sizes and colors with acrylic paint. “The eyes represent the unique ways our community sees and creates as individuals while working toward a collective goal for visibility and independence,” Vincent Uribe, art director at Arts of Life, told DailyNorthShore.

STANDOUT STUDENT
Levin all in with the value of well-roundedness BY BILL MCLEAN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
Upon entering Lake Forest High School in the fall of 2014, Kyle Levin received some valuable advice from his parents, Rich and Sally: Be the most well-rounded person you can be. Levin took the words and ran with them — and not because the Deer Path Middle School graduate happened to be a cross country and track runner. The recommended course of action sounded like a sound one to the youngster. “They pushed me, encouraged me,” Levin recalls. “They told me, ‘Try as many things as possible during your high school years and see what sticks.’” Levin tried athletics, church-related and extracurricular activities and a variety of opportunities with volunteer organizations. What stuck: a lot. And his grades never suffered because of his crowded plate. Levin graduated with cum laude honors earlier this month. “My parents,” he says, “have always inspired me. Both have worked really hard in their lives. What I learned in sports, especially in cross country, is that working hard will get you places.” The Boston College-bound Levin served as a two-year varsity captain in cross country and a varsity track and field captain this past spring. LFHS cross country coaches chose Levin to guide
Kyle Levin
runners as an assistant camp coach this summer. Levin has gone more — way more — than the extra mile in volunteerism, having racked up nearly 570 hours of volunteer and community service time in high school. The 2018 recipient of the Jim Thiel Award for Exceptional Community Service at LFHS and a multiple Presidential Service Award honoree, Levin was a Lunch Bunch youth mentor and teen board member at Waukeganbased Beacon Place; an 847 Hoops camp counselor/basketball coach; and an intern, from 201517, with Ragdale Foundation, a nonprofit artists’ community located in Lake Forest. Levin, a three-time Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Rotary Club Youth Volunteer selectee, also somehow found the time to throw himself into leaderships roles at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Forest. The youth elder and senior high school youth group leadership team member joined the church’s finance and faith formation committees. “That was interesting, seeing what goes on behind the scenes, the inner workings, and learning what it takes to keep a church running,” Levin says of his time spent in finance committee meetings. “I had the opportunity to experience similar details during my time with Ragdale.” Summertime work trips with First Presbyterian Church teens, sometimes as many as 60, enlightened and lifted Levin. The group drove to underserved areas in Michigan, Kentucky and Missouri and helped each community enhance a
number of homes. The volunteers completed reroofing projects and built house frames and decks. “We once stayed at a campsite and slept in dirty bunk beds,” Levin says, adding the throng from the church plans to return to Michigan for a work trip this summer. “There are religious aspects to each trip, and we usually bond by playing basketball and volleyball in our free time. But the trips are mostly about helping people improve what’s important to them — where they live. “They’re grateful,” adds the former Latin I and AP Computer Science teaching assistant. “They let us know how appreciative they are. A big focus at Boston College, a Catholic school, is community service; it’s one of the reasons I’m looking forward to going there.” His early academic plan at BC is to take business classes and intro courses “and then see what I like.” No doubt he’ll go for an occasional run in between study sessions and commitments to community service organizations to stay in shape, to stay mentally sharp. “Running is a good time to think, and some people say running is a form of meditation,” Levin says. “It also can clear the mind, something I usually experienced near the end of a seven-mile training run.” Do you know a teen doing outstanding work in the field of charity, science, arts, business or education?

Lake Bluffers Seek to Revive Golf Club With Fundraising Efforts BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
A group of Lake Bluff residents has initiated a fundraising effort to keep the Lake Bluff Golf Club open for the 2019 season. Residents formed the Lake Bluff Community Golf Association after learning that the Lake Bluff Park District Board of Commissioners decided the course could remain open next season if $265,000 in private funds were raised by fall 2018. The future of the Golf Club — which marks its 50-year anniversary this year — has been a topic of discussion for the past 10 years, Ron Salski, executive director of the Lake Bluff Park District, told DailyNorthShore. The public Golf Club, like many municipal courses across the country, is facing declining revenues as well as the high cost of maintaining a quality club, Salski said. The Park District projects that the course will require $5.4 million in funds over the next 12 years, with $2.7 million earmarked for capital needs ($1.25 million of that amount is for clubhouse improvements) and $2.7 million in operating losses. The Golf Club uses the most tax dollars out of all of the Park District’s programs, services and facilities, Salski said. In addition to the private funds, the Park District is also hoping to find a private company to lease the Golf Club and be responsible for operations, maintenance and capital expenses. The Park District issued a request for proposals (RFP) and accepted proposals through June 13. This lease is a departure from the Park District’s relationship with Billy Casper Golf Management,

which was brought on to reduce expenses and increase revenue. Billy Casper has held a license agreement for the Golf Club since 2016, but is only responsible for managing operations while the Park District maintains the course, Salski said. While initially the tide seemed to be turning with Billy Casper managing operations, the Golf Club continued to lose revenue in 2017, and also faces some considerable capital needs. The Park District is considering how to keep the Golf Club open within the scope of a 12-year financial sustainability plan for the entire Park
District, weighing its needs against the needs of other Park District programs, services and other facilities. “We are turning over every stone to see what we can do if we can keep the Golf Club open while meeting a 12-year sustainability plan,” Salski said. The Community Golf Association’s primary goal is to keep the course open for the 2019 season to have time to look at the various options. “There are probably 20 different options of what you can do with that course, but all of those options have pluses and minuses and need to be vetted,” Colette
Asmussen, a Lake Bluff resident and member of the Golf Association, told DailyNorthShore. So far, the group has several fundraising initiatives in the works. Volunteers created door drop bags that include information about the Golf Club and the fundraising efforts. They also pushed up their sleeves and made some updates to the Golf Club building, such as painting and replacing old carpet, Asmussen said. The Community Golf Association is also partnering with the Park District on several events. “They have been terrific. We are trying to work with them,” Salski said. The Park District realizes that the club is a valuable resource to the community that many residents would like to see remain open. “We are trying everything we can this year to try to keep the course open and find solutions,” Salski said. An open house was held on June 15. On June 26 a golf marathon fundraiser will be held where golfers will play sun up to sun down, trying to complete as many holes as possible. “It’s a way to look for funds outside of the community,” Asmussen said. On August 10 the Golf Club will celebrate its 50th anniversary. The Community Golf Association plans to solicit donations that will be raffled off with the proceeds going toward the fundraiser. While many of the Community Golf Association’s members are active golfers, others are residents who appreciate the golf course as a valuable community space. “It is a beautiful gathering place whether you play golf or not,” Asmussen said. “It is a very important part of this community.”
Are Mosquitos Bugging You, Too? BY ADRIENNE FAWCETT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
We survived one of the coldest Aprils on record, sloshed through a wetter May than normal and were still wearing sweaters beyond the first week in June – but that’s not all. If you’ve been outdoors for any length of time lately, you’ve probably noticed the mosquitoes are out — and they are biting. This is annoying for sure — and itchy — but it also can be risky, because the house mosquito, more formally known as the blood-feeding Culex pipiens, is a vector of West Nile Virus and Western Equine Encephalitis — among other diseases. And WNV already has been detected in Illinois. The North Shore Mosquito Abatement District found it in traps in Glenview and Morton Grove during the week of May 19 to May 21. Both the abundance of Culex pipiens and the WNV infection rate of 0.85 infected mosquitoes per 1,000 tested were above average for that time of year, according to Dave Zazra, communications manager for the district. It’s worth noting that the following week, the district did not detect any WNV in its traps. But you still should be vigilant about protection. “As we see higher temperatures, we will start to see more West Nile virus activity,” said Illinois Department of Public Health Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. “Although we see West Nile virus in Illinois every year, don’t become compla-

cent. It’s easy to take precautions to protect yourself by wearing insect repellent and getting rid of standing water around your home.” Mosquitos that carry WNV got it from feeding on an infected bird — so if you see a sick or dying crow, blue jay, robin or other perching bird, it could be a sign that WNV is in the area. You should contact your local health department, which will determine if the bird will be picked up for testing. (Same goes for sick or dying bats, which could have rabies.) Monitoring for WNV in Illinois includes laboratory tests for mosquito batches, dead perching birds, as well as testing sick horses and humans with West Nile virus-like symptoms, according to the IDPH. Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five people infected with WNV will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, The common house mosquito, aka Culex pipiens, is a vector of West Nile Virus and other diseases. can occur.

Valley Lodge Stands the Test of Time BY LIBBY ELLIOTT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
It was 1969. The year of Vietnam, Woodstock, The Beatles, and Neil Armstrong’s iconic walk on the moon. It was also the year that two brothers from Greece, Peter and Taki Adamis, purchased a small home on Waukegan Road in Glenview with plans to transform the residential property into a neighborhood watering hole. The brothers named their tiny, nine-table diner the Valley Lodge Tavern, and modeled the menu after a classic Greek taverna, serving gyros - freshly cooked on a spit - kabobs, burgers and ribs. Much has changed in the five decades since Valley Lodge Tavern opened its doors. Waukegan Road, once covered in dirt, is now a busy thoroughfare; Glenview’s Naval Air Station, whose soldiers once packed the tavern on weekends, gave way to retail, restaurants and town homes when The Glen opened more than 20 years ago. Valley Lodge Tavern has changed, too. In 1977, the Adamis brothers built an extension that doubled the seating of the original brick and clapboard taverna from 50 to 100, adding a dramatic trussed ceiling and natural stone fireplace. By 1997, when ownership of Valley Lodge had passed to the Stavrous Family, the tavern had morphed into a full-service family restaurant with large tables and built in leather banquettes. Business was good. Today, Valley Lodge Tavern is as popular as ever. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, Valley Lodge features a menu of familiar American comfort foods, like Potato Skins, Chili, Caesar Salad, Honey Fried Chicken and Sloppy Joe’s, alongside recipes from the old country, including Saganaki (a flaming cheese appetizer) Gyros, Spanakopita (a starter course of puff pastry filled with spinach), Greek Salad, and Lamb Chops. “We’ve kept a lot of the Greek traditions going,” said Valley Lodge General Manager Chris Stavrous – nephew to owner, Bill Stavrous. “All of our cheese and olives are still imported from Greece.” Valley Lodge Tavern’s rotating menu of daily specials also mixes the new with the old. On a recent Friday night, sushi grade, pan-seared Ahi Tuna topped with a sesame ginger sauce and served with teriyaki vegetables was featured along with Athenian Style Whitefish, pan-seared with a lemon oregano Greek sauce. On Sundays, the chef at Valley Lodge Tavern always roasts a leg of lamb; on Thursdays, the specialty of the house switches to Jimmy D’s Fried Chicken, an old recipe supplied by a Stavrous family friend, whereby the chicken is brined for eight hours before cooking. For the final course, Valley Lodge offers guests a greatest hits list of American dessert classics, including a Double Carrot Cake that’s big enough for the table, Warm Apple Crisp, and Key Lime Pie. Valley Lodge Tavern’s loyal clientele know to make a reservation, particularly on weekends after 5 p.m. Large groups of walk-ins typically cool their heels at the tavern’s lively 15-seat bar, where Blackhawks games are must-see TV during hockey season, and the restaurant’s cozy gas fireplace keeps
18
guests warm when the temperature dips below 50F. “We tell people without reservations to come on in and wait at the bar,” said Stavrous. “By the time you finish your first drink, your table will most likely be ready.” Many of Valley Lodge’s employees have been with the restaurant for nearly three decades, a point of pride for the Stavrous Family. “It’s one of the things that makes us special,” said Chris. “We get to know who you are and what you like, so when you walk in the door, we’ll pour it for you right away.” The bar offers a menu of craft cocktails, including the Valley Lodge Signature, a house version of the classic Cosmo. The tavern keeps seven beers on tap, ranging from the light and fruity Blue Moon Belgian White, to the thick and frothy Guinness. Valley Lodge’s standout wines include Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma and a Napa Valley Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir. After decades of success in Glenview, Valley Lodge Tavern’s owners opened a new location in Wilmette in 2014, hoping to reach a wider audience. Featuring the same menu as its Glenview sister restaurant, Valley Lodge’s Wilmette branch is

considerably larger than the Waugekan Road location, with outdoor seating and space to host private private parties. Still, says Chris Stavrous, many of Valley Lodge’s longstanding customers still make the journey to Glenview to eat in the original location. “We’re mostly a local establishment, but we do have customers who come from as far away as Lake Forest, Mount Prospect and Morton Grove,” said Stavrous. With a half a century of success under its belt
| SATURDAY JUNE 16 | SUNDAY JUNE 17 2018
and the new, second location in Wilmette, Stavrous said the owners of Valley Lodge have no plans to tinker with their winning, neighborhood restaurant formula. “Right now we’re staying on course,” said Stavrous. “Why would we change anything when we’re already doing so well?” Valley Lodge Tavern 2132 Waukegan Road, Glenview, (847) 724 - 7440.

His name is Luca Lazzaretto — a two-time All-American at Loyola Academy — turns in signature performance in state championship BY BILL MCLEAN SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
Luciano “Luca” Lazzaretto and his father, John, fixed a part of the fence in the Lazzaretto back yard in Lake Forest last week. “I’ll probably mow the lawn today [ June 7, a day after the fence mending],” Luca said. But Luca Lazzaretto, a 2018 Loyola Academy graduate and a son of a former University of Georgia/University of Illinois running back, did his best work on lacrosse turf this spring. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defenseman — a long stick middie for the Ramblers in his first three years on varsity — played a stifling, integral role in LA’s 7-2 defeat of New Trier in the inaugural Illinois
“His freshman year on varsity, you could tell, everybody could tell, how talented he was. Luca did not look like a freshman. Luca did not play like a freshman.”
High School Association (IHSA) boys lacrosse state championship at Hinsdale Central earlier this month. “His size, it’s second to none in most games, and then, when you combine that with his great speed, with his stick skills, with the intangibles he brought to each game …,” marveled Ramblers senior attack and Illinois High School Lacrosse Association all-stater Andrew Forsyth, a 2018 quad-captain like Lazzaretto. “And Luca was always calm and relaxed with the ball in his stick. His teammates relaxed when Luca had the ball in his stick. He was a commanding presence in games, a rock. “His freshman year on varsity,” Forsyth added, “you could tell, everybody could tell, how talented he was. Luca did not look like a freshman. Luca did not play like a freshman.” After his final lacrosse game in LA togs, the Princeton University-bound Lazzaretto received a bear hug from Ramblers defensive coordinator Brian Rynes (Loyola Academy, ’99) and then got an earful. Of praise. Rynes told his two-time US Lacrosse All-

quarterback/wideout in his freshman and sophomore seasons at LA. The Ramblers’ 2014 freshman ‘A’ football roster listed Lazzaretto, Forsyth and future star varsity signal caller Quinn Boyle as QBs. Lazzaretto’s older brothers, Brennan and Michael, played football at Hinsdale South when the Lazzaretto family lived in Burr Ridge. A left shoulder injury kept Luca off the football field in his junior year. He seriously contemplated returning to the sport last fall for the reigning Class 8A runner-up but opted to let a less-than-100-percent right shoulder fully heal before his final prep lax season. “I grew up in a football family,” Lazzaretto said in his deep voice, the kind that is coveted by producers of movie trailers. “My dad, my brothers, they would always say, ‘Let’s throw it around in the back yard, run some routes.’ ” Lazzaretto’s academic path at Princeton? Pre-med. The surgeon hopeful didn’t take his first science class, chemistry, at Loyola Academy until his sophomore year. Ann Michels taught it. “I didn’t like it at first,” Lazzaretto recalled. “First day, we did dimensional analysis, which is basically a lot of math. But I started loving chemistry after we got into atoms and moles and lab work. It became fun. My teacher was awesome. “I’ve always been intrigued with medicine and how it works. Maybe I’ll become a neurologist someday; the brain is fascinating.” In the summer before his rookie year on an Ivy League campus, Lazzaretto will continue to manicure his family’s yard, work out regularly, play the acoustic guitar, teach private lacrosse lessons to local youngsters. Count on him to also make time to play pass and catch with his little sister, Ellie, who scored 20 goals and assisted on seven others as a freshman attack/middie on LA’s varsity girls lacrosse team, which placed third at state earlier this month. Memories of LA’s 2018 boys lacrosse state championship (the program’s 12th), meanwhile, LAZZ'S FARE: Luca Lazzaretto (No. 27), seen here trying to race past New Trier’s Nate Carlton during the are still fresh, still vivid.

Gushing over Gussis Laudatory words continue to flow for two-sport standout and recent Highland Park High School graduate BY BILL MCLEAN SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
Who does this? Who sits down to type an email to his high school basketball coach and offers to help the coach teach basketball to grade- and middle-school hoopsters in a three-week summer camp because he wants to give back to a program that gave him so much? Tyler Gussis. That’s who. A 2018 Highland Park High School graduate with five varsity letters (three in basketball, two in baseball), Gussis shot the email to Giants head basketball coach Paul Harris earlier this spring. Harris accepted the proposal, probably in a nanosecond … maybe faster. “I will always be grateful for what the coaches — Coach Harris, Coach [Ross] Deutsch, all of the others — did for me as a person and as an athlete,”
“The mark Tyler left on our basketball program is an indelibly etched one.”
the 6-foot-1, 165-pound Gussis says. “I learned so many valuable lessons through basketball. Huge impact. Playing basketball for Highland Park High School had a huge impact on me.” A 9-year-old Tyler Gussis was playing in a house league baseball game when he looked at the spectators in the stands and noticed at least nine had arrived to cheer for him. Grandparents, parents, siblings and others bunched together, all poised to applaud Gussis at the plate, Gussis in the field, Gussis running the bases, Gussis chewing bubble gum. “I didn’t appreciate the support I received then like I do now,” says Gussis, an all-Central Suburban League North center fielder/pitcher last spring and this spring. “I was only 9. But I will always be grateful for how often my family members [mom and dad Pam and Sam; grandparents Lloyd and Randy and Dennis and Miriam; and siblings Holly and Darren] showed up at my games.” Grateful. Gussis uses the word a lot these days. Genuinely sincere and thankful people utter it often when they can’t look ahead to something big (the start of college this fall at Northeastern University in Boston, in Gussis’ case) without acknowledging the significant roles their loved ones and close friends and coaches and mentors had played in the past. Gussis’ good friend and baseball teammate TJ Gimbel, a 2018 HPHS graduate, attended the

BAT MAN, GOOD MAN: Highland Park High School’s Tyler Gussis, a three-year varsity baseball player, batted .427 this spring. He struck out only five times in 118 at-bats. PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEORGE PFOERTNER
Giants’ Senior Night basketball game this past winter in a T-shirt that made Gussis, a forward and quad-captain, blush and crack up at the same time. On the front of Gimbel’s shirt was a picture of Gussis — as an infant. “Got some help from his mom for that project,” Gimbel says. “Tyler is 2 years old in the photo, maybe 1. He’s got a smirk going in the photo. Wait … it’s probably a look that is part smirk, part serious. Tyler, today, is a serious kid. I had to wear it on that night, show my support for him. Never a flashy
player, his athleticism in basketball never got the attention it deserved. “I even wore that T-shirt to school one day. Tyler couldn’t believe it when he saw me with it on as I walked toward him in a hallway; you should have seen his reaction.” What Harris and Deutsch typically saw, postgame, on the faces of area basketball coaches who had scouted the Giants: looks of appreciation. For Gussis’ game. “We heard, so many times, ‘I love, absolutely
| SATURDAY JUNE 16 | SUNDAY JUNE 17 2018
love, what No. 11 [Gussis] does on the court, love how hard No. 11 plays,’ ” says Deutsch, a varsity assistant coach. “When Paul and I watched film of our games, Tyler’s keen awareness at both ends of the court, especially on defense, was quite clear. He played defense for us at all five positions. You know what? He was our best defensive player at all five. Tyler didn’t receive all-league honors, but if coaches in our division had been asked to name a player whose intangibles helped his team the most, Tyler would have been that player, no doubt. He did the dirty work, did all those little things, those subtle things, those valuable things that never show up in a box score. So many of the things Tyler did in basketball games excited his coaches and led to wins. “Tyler as a player, Tyler as a teammate, Tyler as a young man, I can’t say enough good things about him. The mark Tyler left on our basketball program is an indelibly etched one” Gussis carved out a special baseball season this spring with his bat and his arm and his legs. One of five captains and the team leader in batting average (.427), slugging percentage (.553), on-baseplus-slugging percentage (1.036), RBIs (31) and stolen bases (14), Gussis fanned only five times in 118 at-bats, a puny strikeout percentage of 4.2. He went 5-1 on the mound with two shutouts and a 2.54 ERA for a 16-14 club. One of his shutouts — a three-hitter — came against Maine West, a Class 4A regional champion. Gussis ripped one of his six doubles in the same game. “I might email the Northeastern baseball coach [Mike Glavine, brother of Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Glavine], and I might try to make the team as a walk-on,” says the respectful, modest, politeto-the-bone Gussis, who is interested in becoming an entrepreneur after his college days. Gimbel, who led Giants pitchers in wins this spring with six, has a story about Gussis in his pocket, one that reveals a side to Gussis that many have not seen. It’s rich. It’s entertaining. Gimbel shares the story. “We’re playing 3-on-3 basketball in a driveway, after lowering the rim to eight or eight-and-half feet,” Gimbel begins. “Tyler pin-blocks a layup attempt by the guy he’s guarding. It was clean, legitimate. But I think somebody questioned it, thought it might have been goaltending. Tyler gets animated and shouts, ‘No, no, no, no! No way! That was not goaltending!’ Anybody who knows Tyler knows he’s a pretty quiet guy. What he did that day was something he never would have done in a game while playing for Highland Park High School, because he had too much respect for the program and the game, and he would have disappointed his coaches with a response like that. “All of us out there enjoyed the moment. There we were, most of us having fun in a driveway, and Tyler is competing like it’s the most meaningful game of his life. You have to love that.” THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Optimism buoys swimming coach BY BILL MCLEAN ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT
Rick Peterson takes a break from his dance with cancer to inhale a hearty breakfast at Walker Bros. The Original Pancake House in Wilmette. Leukemia was the diagnosis, back in December. The longtime swimming coach’s voice is raspy, a result of another round of chemotherapy he had endured to attack his dance partner. “Spent the month of January in a hospital,” the 63-year-old Peterson says. “I’m doing fine, feeling OK. I’m … managing myself. The best way to deal with poison in my body is to eat right, sleep enough, take the right medicine.” Peterson, a straight shooter, wants zero sympathy. From me, from you, from anybody. One of his many friends and colleagues in the North Shore swimming community pitched a Rick Peterson feature to a local publication. Peterson likes the spotlight on him about as much as a competitive swimmer likes to be disqualified before the start of race. But he’s here at a table with me, not far from his hometown of Evanston, willing to field all kinds of questions about his 45-year coaching career, about young athletes today vs. young athletes in the 1970s, about the books he loves, about the aha moments he gets to witness from his swimmers on pool decks. The Alexis I. DuPont (Delaware) High School graduate orders a glass of water, a large glass of skim milk, two poached eggs and a German pancake. Peterson swam competitively in summers only, because DuPont High did not house a pool. When the food arrives, I laugh. The German pancake covers the entire plate, and it looks like a mini aboveground pool. Peterson was only 16 when he first taught swimming lessons to North Star Club kids in the 8-and-under age group at a community pool in Delaware. He became a North Star head coach three years later. “I smiled a lot on my first day as a coach,” Peterson recalls. “My goal for the kids was, ‘Let’s learn.’ I showed them techniques, tried to make the lesson fun. I clicked with my 10 swimmers that day.” After graduating from Bucknell University with degrees in geography and history, Peterson earned certification to teach social studies. He landed his first job in Illinois in 1977, serving as an Age Group coach for future and current New Trier West swimmers. New Trier West and New Trier East merged in ’82. Peterson was an Age Group coach from 1977-1985 and from 2000-2015 and guided New Trier varsity boys swimming teams from 1983-85.

Rick Peterson
His current posts: Glenview Titan Aquatic Club (GTAC) Age Group and Senior coach; Glenbrook South High School assistant varsity boys swimming coach; and New Trier assistant varsity girls swimming coach. “Things changed dramatically for kids and teens with the appearance of the iPhone,” Peterson says. “There’s one in every youngster’s hand. And yet, kids, I’ve found, are fundamentally the same today as they were when I started coaching in the early 1970s. They’re not different … as long as they’re paying attention to you without their devices getting in the way.” Rare is the athlete who fully commits to a sport — or any endeavor — before the age of 11, Peterson believes. It’s from the ages of 11-14 when an athlete knows he or she is either in all-in mode or in time-tolook-for-another-activity mode. “When I see that light go on for a swimmer, see that, ‘I get it now’ moment, I know that swimmer will likely develop intrinsic motivation,” Peterson says. “That swimmer will start arriving at practice early, will stay after practice more often, and that swimmer will ask questions — good questions, import a n t questions. That aha moment I see from a swimmer is more important to me than a swimmer setting a s t a t e record or making a national cut in an event.” In between training sessions and swimming meets, Peterson loves to read baseball books and psychology
| SATURDAY JUNE 16 | SUNDAY JUNE 17 2018
books. He considers psychology books by Carol Dweck and Angela Duckworth home runs. Dweck wrote Mindset: The New Psychology of Success; Duckworth wrote Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Dweck compares people with fixed mindsets to people with growth mindsets, showing students, athletes and artists with the latter mindset are more likely to flourish because they believe their abilities can be developed. Duckworth posits
That aha moment I see from a swimmer is more important to me than a swimmer setting a state record or making a national cut in an event.
that “genius” does not drive success as much as a combination of passion and perseverance does. “Consistent behavior from a coach is important for athletes, in any sport,” Peterson says. “I’m the same coach at practices as I am at meets. Whenever I go one-on-one with a swimmer on deck, either after a practice or after a race, I give truthful compliments followed by constructive criticism. A compliment opens a mind. “An athlete’s mind,” he adds, “has to be open in order for the mindset to grow.” Cancer, the topic, resurfaces. Peterson doesn’t flinch. His countenance insists, Ask anything, ask away. Some days are tougher than others, I learn. Some laps in swimming are tougher than others. A highly successful swimmer shakes off the pain at the end of a grueling set, puts his head down and churns, churns, churns. “You know what?” the ever-positive Peterson says. “Three swimmers at GTAC are cancer survivors. Why shouldn’t I be able to handle it and survive it, too?” The water man has a surfeit of optimism. “I’m seriously thinking of watching my swimmers compete at a meet this weekend,” Peterson says. He continues to dance. Continues to thrive. THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
