Tried & true mixes with fresh & new at OLPH Holly Fair BY LIBBY ELLIOTT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

new generation of Women’s Club members at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Glenview is breathing fresh life into a decades-old fundraising event. The OPLH Holly Fair will take place October 19 & 20 in the church’s “Playdium”gym space.The 2-day shopping event draws a crowd of nearly 2,000 and raises an estimated $65,000 to support the OLPH parish. Although the Holly Fair was founded 36 years ago as a small,preChristmas shopping event,the fair’s offerings have expanded and diversified since then. This year, setting a new fair record,a total of 50 vendors will be selling everything from trendy women’s accessories to luxury children’s clothing and artisanal products for the home. Over time, organizers have steadily decreased the number of vendors who exclusively sell Christmas items. Continued on PG 6

Introducing William Patrick Corgan Former Smashing Pumpkins lead singer launches new album BY GREG SHAPIRO DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

or many of us, he will always be Billy. But as William Corgan, front man of The Smashing Pumpkins, began to edge closer to age 50, he was having second thoughts about that. As he puts it, “I prefer to be called William. Billy is more of a stage name in my head at this point.” Highland Park resident, business owner and Grammy Awardwinning musician Corgan’s name isn’t the only thing that’s different about his new solo album Ogilala (Martha’s Music/ BMG). Produced by Rick Rubin, the 11 songs take Corgan in a dazzling new direction via stripped down arrangements that focus on his distinctive voice accompanied by piano and acoustic guitar. The results are breathtaking. Corgan will perform in Chicago at the Athenaeum Theatre October 24 & 25. I spoke with Corgan, who describes himself as “HP all the time,” about Ogilala and life in Highland Park shortly before the October 2017 release of the album. Gregg Shapiro: “Zowie” is the perfect name for the first song on Ogilala because that’s probably the reaction listeners will have when they hear the gorgeous piano and vocal tune. William Patrick Corgan: It’s funny because Rick (Rubin, pro-

ducer) questioned the title when we were recording the record. It’s my little nod to David Bowie’s passing. It doesn’t sound like David Bowie, but there are certain chords that remind me of what David would do. I was thinking of him a lot when I wrote the song. I think it was around the time of his passing. It was my way of tipping my hat to David in a way that you would only recognize if you were a David fan. GS: Wasn’t Zowie the name of his (eldest) son? WPC: Yes. Although I think eventually his son changed his name (to Duncan Jones), because that’s obviously a weird name to

have [laughs]. I even got to meet his son a few times along the way. When we’re in dream language, as we are when we’re writing songs, things kind of pop up. I don’t really question them much, as any of my dubious song titles indicate [laughs]. I go with whatever I feel at the time. Like I said, Rick raised an eyebrow to the title, but it just stuck. GS: The songs on Ogilala have these lovely piano, vocal and acoustic guitar arrangements. Were you listening to something before or while making the album that inspired this direction? WPC: That’s a really good question. For years I’ve listened to

people who were prominent in the English folk movement in the `60s who were very influential, but many people don’t know their names, (such as) Anne Briggs, Bert Jansch and Davey Graham, as well as Pentangle and Sandy Denny, who sang on the (Led) Zeppelin album. I found myself as a listener to be really attracted to that type of music. Sometimes music can be an antidote to what we’re going through not only in life, but also in the culture. I think there is a certain synchronistic quality to how folk music was very important during the turbulent times of the 1960s. There’s something about folk music or those

types of tones or chords and melodies that remind us that there’s a longer history here. Although this time seems very difficult, we’ve gotten through these times before. I found myself listening and I don’t know if it permeated my interest in what I wanted to do musically. GS: Do you feel like these kinds of arrangements, on “The Spaniards”, “Processional”, “Aeronaut” and “Half-Life of an Autodidact”, for instance, gave you the chance to exercise different vocal muscles? WPC: I’ve played music like this privately for 20 years. Friends would always say, “Why don’t you Continued on PG 6

NEWS OLPH Cont. from PG 1 “Even though the event is called the ‘Holly Fair,’ it’s about so much more than just holiday-themed products,”said volunteer vendor co-chair, Meghan Johnson, whose two children, aged 7 and 5, attend OLPH School. In addition to bringing back many of the tried and true vendors from years past,Johnson,along with fellow vendor co-chair Lisa Salemi, have secured 16 new merchants for this year’s Holly Fair,including Chicagobased Seesaw Society children’s clothing retailer, Cape Couture, and Country Classics, a Glenview business selling women’s and children’s clothing as well as a range of personalized gifts. “We’re hanging on to many of the Holly Fair’s special traditions, but we’re also doing some new things to perk it up,” said Salemi. Johnson and Salemi estimate that 400-450 of those who attend the Holly Fair will buy tickets to “Sip and Shop,” a special preview event held the evening of October 19 from 6-9:30pm. In addition to getting early access to one-of-a-kind merchandise, “Sip and Shop” attendees will have access to raffle drawings that feature a donated product from every vendor, including an $800 necklace from Raphael Jewelers in Glenview. North Shore newcomer Jar Bar, which opened 4 months ago in downtown Northbrook,is supplying food at cost for the Holly Fair’s Candy Cane Cafe lunch spot,where attendees can sample the restaurant’s sig-

nature salads and Overnight Oats. The majority of Holly Fair’s numerous repeat vendors are local merchants and small entrepreneurs. Back by popular demand this year are April’s Linens, Whitehead Studios, and Because I Like It. By pooling admission and raffle ticket revenue, booth rental fees, and a percentage of vendor sales,the Holly Fair raises money to support the ongoing work of the parish,including religious education,a music program and the church’s Youth Ministry. Both Johnson and Salemi join 900

other women to form 36 working guilds within the OLPH’s Women’s Club, founded in 1939. Club members Kathy Bredemann and Julie Grayhack serve as 2017 Holly Fair co-chairs.

The parish and school felt like home.” Each guild, comprised of 30 women typically grouped by age,has a leader and a unique function. “Guilds comprised of mothers who are home with young children tend to be assigned volunteer jobs with more flexible hours,”said Salemi. “The slightly older guilds will pick up many of the more time consuming responsibilities, like securing event sponsorships.” The club supports the OPLH parish as well as the wider community with its fall school supply,canned food and diaper drives. It takes nearly 250 Women’s Club volunteers to pull off the annual Holly Fair. From helping vendors set up, to running the onsite café, to working the admission table,it’s a group effort from start to finish. After months of planning and hammering out details,both Johnson and Salemi say they’re looking forward to watching the event come together on October 19. “I can’t wait to hear all the buzz about all the new vendors we have this year,” said Johnson. “Yes,”said Salemi.“And I want to see people walking around with arms full of bags.” OLPH Holly Fair takes place October 19 from 1-9:30 p.m. and October 20 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 1775 Grove Street, Glenview.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a very hot summer. But on a good summer’s day, that’s a beautiful drink to have. The first time I ever had true Rose Tea was at the Savoy in London. I was sitting in the vaunted tea room drinking rose tea, in this historic place that even George Harrison references, and I remember thinking, “One day, if only I could…” Years later, I have my own teahouse and I’m sitting on my front porch at Zuzu’s drinking Rose Black tea. It’s a real pleasure. William Patrick Corgan will perform in Chicago at the Athenaeum Theatre October 24 & 25.

he North Shore Board of Northwestern Settlement will host its main fundraiser on October 21 in Chicago to support House in the Wood camp, which provides enriching experiences to children from some of Chicago’s most economically disadvantaged communities. Idyllically located on Lake Delavan in Wisconsin, House in the Wood gives children a traditional summer camp experience, and it also includes a nature center where STEMbased educational programs are held throughout the year. The nature center was made possible through the North Shore Board’s fundraising efforts and its supporters. “It is evidence of how loyal the supporters are who have been coming back since 1936,” said Vicki Kastory of Northbrook, one of three co-chairs of the House in the Wood Gala. In 2016 the event raised $475,000 to benefit the camp. Many of the board members rely on skills developed in the corporate world to plan the event. “It’s a great network of women,” said Tina Barr of Winnetka, another of the Gala’s co-chairs. The year 1936 marks the founding of the North Shore Board to exclusively support House in the Wood. While initially the board raised money by selling members’ own handiwork, over time the fundraisers became more sophisticated. Eventually North Shore Board ’s main fundraiser became a large event held at the Four Seasons known as the Glitter Ball. The name was changed to House in the Wood Gala to connect the event to the camp. This year, for the first time, House in the Wood Gala will be held at Morgan Manufacturing. “Like the camp, the event always evolves and stays on trend for our guests,” Kastory noted. Morgan Manufacturing is “industrial chic,” with rustic

wood tables that play up the gala’s camp theme. The farmto-table menu will include Wisconsin cheeses and local produce. Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts band — son of Rick Nielsen of the popular 1980s’ band Cheap Trick —will entertain guests with music influenced by rock ’n’ roll and 1960s’ soul. “It should be a fun band for the venue,” said Gala co-chair Melissa Corley of Winnetka. The black-tie optional event will include a silent and live auction, as well as a fund-aneed program that will allow supporters to sponsor a camper. For the second time, the board is offering packages with an all-inclusive weekend at the camp for up to 50 guests. The beautiful setting on a lake with cabins, outdoor activities and a new nature center makes

House in the Wood ideal for family reunions or corporate getaways. In addition to organizing the House in the Wood Gala, board members also visit the camp and lead activities throughout the year. One board member taught an art class, another board member who is a caterer held a cooking class, while other members held pilates and yoga classes. “There are so many women (on the board) with gifts and talents that they share,” Kastory said. House in The Wood Gala will be held on October 21 at 6 p.m. at Morgan Manufacturing, 401 North Morgan Street, Chicago. Open to the public, online reservations and an auction preview are available at www.northshoreboard.org.

eliac disease. Vitiligo. Psoriasis. Thomas Boutsikakis has dealt with each condition — and he’s only 17. Look no further than the Glenbrook South High School senior for the embodiment of perseverance. “When stuff gets hard, either at school or in another setting, I tell myself, ‘Don’t give up,’ ” says Boutsikakis, a busy studentathlete who has also outgrown a slew of food allergies (except for nuts) and praises his superorganized and attentive mother, Melinda, for helping him navigate the challenges of a restrictive diet and autoimmune diseases. Boutsikakis’ menu of commitments, in addition to his course load, is a crowded one this fall. The Glenview resident made the varsity football team, as a wide receiver, for a second year; painted, with nearly 30 other Interact Club members, a small house in Glenview to complete a renovation project last month; and joined other Hellenic Club members in a fundraising drive. “I’ve always loved trying new things and then sticking with them,” says Boutsikakis, who cleared a runner-up height of 8-feet-6 in the pole vault at the JV Central Suburban League South track and field meet last spring. “It’s important to me to build an interest in each of my sports and activities and then get the most out of the experiences.” Television shows about doctors — House, M.D. and Grey’s Anatomy, to name two — enthralled a younger Boutsikakis for years. His heart raced whenever he watched a doctor attempt to save a patient with an ailing ticker. “I wanted to be an ER doctor,” Boutsikakis says, adding a GBS TV & Film class sparked another one of his previous vocational interests. “Everything that went on in an emergency room in those shows, from the fast-paced action to the intensity of the doctors, excited me.” Years later his focus shifted to

physical therapy, in part because of the positive encounters he had with professional trainers at Glenbrook South High School. Boutsikakis has sustained a concussion and an ankle injury as a Titans athlete.

It’s important to me to build an interest in each of my sports and activities and then get the most out of the experiences. — Glenbrook South HS senior Thomas Boutsikakis “It was pretty cool how they treated me,” he says. “I’m looking into the physical therapy program at the University of Illinois, because I had heard it’s a very good one. Right know I’m looking for an opportunity around here, maybe as an intern, to work with a physical therapist

to learn as much as I can about the field.” On a football field, under lights, is the place where Boutsikakis wants to be on Friday nights. Glenbrook South’s gridders, with three weeks left in the regular season, have already won five games — four more than the varsity’s victory total last season. A sixth victory would lock up a Titans playoff berth for the first time since 2014. Among the classes Boutsikakis is tackling this semester are AP psychology, AP environmental science, pre-calculus and consumer education. Every other day he lifts in a weight training and conditioning class. Boutsikakis does reps in the kitchen, too. About a year ago he outgrew an allergy to eggs, meaning he could finally enjoy his grandmother Hellen’s Greek egg and lemon soup (whipped eggs, lemon juice, chicken broth and rice). Hellen showed her grandson how to make it, and shortly thereafter he prepared it for his father, George, and his older sister, Allie, a 20-year-old student at Loyola University in Chicago. “They thought it was pretty good,” Thomas Boutsikakis recalls. “But not as good as grandma’s soup.” Do you know a teen doing outstanding work in the f ield of charity, science, arts, business or education?

Antiques + Modernism comes home BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

ust like the Antiques + Modernism event in Winnetka, artist Lee Thinnes describes her style as a mash-up of traditional and modern aesthetics. “I am definitely leaning more toward modern. But when I decorate I like to mix traditional with an edge to create a very fresh, sleek environment,” said Thinnes, a Winnetka resident and owner of Lee’s Antiques & Interiors. Thinnes’ eye for all things beautiful will be on display at Antiques + Modernism Winnetka November 3-5 at the Winnetka Community House. She is one of approximately 45 dealers who will display home furnishings, accessories, artwork, clothing and jewelry in the show, which is renown for its collection of items that range from modern to traditional. Thinnes is also one of several dealers who have teamed with local designers to curate four historical homes in Winnetka

Love for football — and astronomy — abounds with GBN’s Abboud

ne of the assignments Landon Abboud had to complete for his honors astronomy class last year was a simple one: Go outside at night. Look up. Observe. “I was amazed,” recalls Abboud, a Glenbrook North senior strong safety. “But not just at the sky and the stars. I realized there’s an entire universe, dangling over me, over all of us. “For most of my life, I’ve wanted to be some kind of engineer. Now, because of what I learned in that astronomy class and the path it put me on, I want to be an aerospace engineer. Or maybe an astronaut.” He worked on Planet Earth on Sept. 28, and — following a play in the fourth quarter of a 26-7 loss at Highland Park High School — did not see stars, thankfully; those usually appear after a helmet-to-helmet hit. But Abboud suffered an injury to his right leg. “I got stepped on,” the 5-foot10, 150-pounder says. He was ordered to come off the field of play after the next play but chose not to see a trainer. Abboud planted himself next to teammates along the Spartans’ sideline and then jumped a couple of times. “I did that to show my coaches I was fine,” says Abboud, who reentered the Central Suburban League North game and finished with nine tackles, including one for a loss on a third-and-12 play early in the fourth quarter. Football teammates and coaches have been calling Abboud “Jet Fuel” since early August, when he returned from a two-week internship with NASA in Texas. Spartans senior lineman Dane Spengel, one of Abboud’s good friends, dubbed it “Astronaut Camp”. “Landon is a genius, in addition to being super aggressive and super fast in football,” Spengel says. “Never stops, never down about anything. Tough and humble, too.” Glenbrook North rocketed to a 3-0 start but has lost its last three games, with two of the setbacks (to Maine West and HP) coming in CSL North contests. Abboud wants to do all that he can to help

We need to play with heart and make small sacrifices for the team. I want to be that rock, that sturdy player, for my team. I want my teammates to know they can lean on me in games.” — Glenbrook North senior safety Landon Abboud

right the ship — perhaps the Spartans’ space shuttle, in his mind — right away. Urgency abounds for Abboud, even with Glenbrook North’s final three opponents (Maine East, Deerfield and Vernon Hills) having a combined record of 5-13 through Week 6. “We need to settle down and focus on what we need to do in order to do a better job of executing our game plan each week,” says Abboud, who recorded a sack in North’s 34-24 defeat of visiting Elk Grove in Week 3 and has served as a team captain for two games this season. “We need to play with heart and make small sacrifices for the team. I want to be that rock, that sturdy player, for my team. I want my teammates to know they can lean on me in games. “I enter each game with that kind of mentality.” Abboud played mostly as an

undersized defensive end from fifth to eighth grade. Freshman football coaches at Glenbrook North considered Abboud and the position of strong safety a better fit, and that has been his grid job since the fall of 2014. “Plays hard, plays physical football,” Spartans varsity coach Bob Pieper says of Abboud, whose ancestry is part German and part Egyptian. “Landon likes to hit. He plays with a lot of energy and leads with his energy.” Abboud wrestles in the winter months and plays lacrosse in the spring. He’ll tell you he is an average grappler, because that’s what wrestlers with near-.500 records are typically considered. But Abboud looks beyond his numbers when he considers what the sport has meant to him on a big-picture level. “Wrestling is not all about the wins and losses,” insists the son of

lawyers Tony and Kelli. “It’s also about what’s inside me, what wrestling has done to help me develop the work ethic I have today. I will always be grateful for what competing as a wrestler has instilled in me through the years. And my parents … their influence has also shaped my work ethic. Along with that, they’ve also always been there for me, supported me, encouraged me to follow my dreams.” Abboud followed directions last weekend — on college applications. He started to tackle the challenge of writing essays. Possible destinations for the young man with a promising future in the field dedicated to the development of aircraft and spacecraft: Purdue, Texas A & M, the University of Texas and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Abboud’s spirit soars on Sundays, too. In church. He is an usher, Eucharistic minister, lector and Youth Group member at St. Norbert Catholic Church in Northbrook. His mother teaches Sunday school classes, and his father launched Teen Mass, an endeavor to increase the opportunities for involvement among the parish’s youth. “It’s been great,” Landon Abboud says of Teen Mass. “You should see how connected the kids are with the adults, now that so many of us get to serve in a variety of important roles at St. Norbert.” Notable: Glenbrook North (3-3, 0-2 in the Central Suburban League North) hosts Maine East (1-5, 0-2) on Oct. 6 (7 p.m.). The Spartans routed the Blue Demons 56-0 last fall. Maine East hasn’t scored a point this fall since a 35-6 loss to Ridgewood on Sept. 1. … Spartans senior quarterback Burke Morley threw a 22-yard, firstquarter touchdown pass to senior running back Jimmy Karfis in Glenbrook North’s 26-7 loss to host Highland Park (3-3, 2-0) on Sept. 28. Karfis finished with a team-high 60 yards rushing on 13 carries. Spartans junior defensive back Ben Kieffer came down with an interception, and classmate Nick Mantas, a defensive lineman, recorded a sack. Glenbrook North defeated Highland Park 42-28 in the teams’ meeting last fall.

Steely John ‘Understated’ approach plays well with Loyola Academy’s Kryscio

ohn Kryscio’s poker face on a golf course makes an ace poker player’s poker face at a card table look downright … animated. Forget about taking a gander at Kryscio right after a round of golf and attempting to figure out how the Loyola Academy senior had performed. It would be an exercise in futility. It would drive you crazy. “We laugh because you can never tell if he’s happy or sad or somewhere in between about what he did on a golf course,” Ramblers first-year assistant golf coach Mark Nugent says. “Such a good kid, and his disposition for the game of golf is just … perfect. Kryscio — a top-six varsity Rambler since the start of his freshman year — once approached LA head coach Tim Kane with his scorecard in hand at an invitational. Kryscio’s visage was as blank as the sheets of paper in a brandnew notebook. “He handed the scorecard to me and said, ‘Here ya go, Coach,’ ” Kane recalls. “He wasn’t excited at all. I looked at the scorecard. He had shot a 69. I looked up at him, and he said, ‘I hit it alright today.’ “Understated,” the coach adds. “John is very understated.” The 6-foot-3, 175-pound Kryscio, a Glenview resident, competed at the Class 3A state tournament in each of his first three seasons, twice as a team member and once as an individual qualifier. He tied for 19th place with a 157 (82-75) in 2015; he helped the Ramblers place fifth last fall and ninth in ’14. Kryscio’s two-day state effort of 79-84 in his freshman year ranked second among Ramblers. At the Buffalo Grove Invitational on Sept. 2, Kryscio earned medalist honors with a threeunder 69, a little more than a week after carding a two-under 34 in a nine-hole dual with North Shore Country Day at the Merit Club in Libertyville. His 74 tied teammate Ben Scherman for ninth place at the Chicago Catholic League Championship, held at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club (No. 3) in Lemont on Sept. 27. LA

brothers Chip Savarie and Ryan Savarie tied for third place with 71s, as Kane’s crew (290) finished runner-up to champion Fenwick (288). “John has really matured as a player and as a young man,” Kane says, adding Kryscio’s reliable, lengthy iron play is usually the factor behind those low scores. “He’s become a good leader, too. He sets a good example with his work ethic and his steadiness.” Kryscio gripped a golf club (a plastic one) for the first time at the age of 5 and played in his first golf tournament (with con-

with loving it right away. My first tournament, I remember being scared, really scared. I didn’t know what to expect, and I went for everything.” How many golfers can say they toured a golf course in only 67 strokes as a 12-year-old? Not many is the guess here. But John Kryscio can, having accomplished the feat in Bloomington. “Had it going; was in a zone,” he says matter-of-factly. Bad holes and bad rounds don’t bother Kryscio today. But that wasn’t always the case. “I had a little temper,” Kryscio admits. “Going into my junior year, I started to realize playing with a calm demeanor was the way to go and very helpful. I’ve been playing that way ever since.” Kryscio told Kane he wouldn’t

play basketball his freshman year. But he changed his mind and went out for the freshman team. The stretch 5 (center) ended up with team MVP honors. “His sophomore year,” Kane says, “he told me he wouldn’t go out for the sophomore basketball team. Guess what? He went out for the sophomore basketball team.” And emerged with team MVP honors again. “I have no problem when my players play another sport during the school year,” Kane says. “Ask a lot of coaches, in any sport, about that, and they’ll agree with me. It’s always a good thing when an athlete competes in another sport.” The huge University of Kentucky men’s basketball fan — Kryscio’s parents, Doug and Michelle, attended the school in

Lexington — told people he wouldn’t attend tryouts for varsity hoops last winter, and this time he stuck with that plan. Kryscio made another big decision at the end of his junior year and shared it with his parents at the dinner table: “I told them I wasn’t interested in playing golf in college,” says Kryscio, who is looking at Indiana University, the University of Kentucky, Dayton, Miami of Ohio, Marquette and SMU. “My intent is to go to college and major in something business-related. The sport of golf … I had fun with it, enjoyed playing it at tournaments and for my school, and it changed me completely. I’ll always be able to look back on the experiences I had with it and realize it benefitted me.”

Notable: Loyola Academy was scheduled to host a Class 3A regional at Glencoe Golf Club on Oct. 3, with the qualifying teams and individuals advancing to the New Trier Sectional at the Winnetka Golf Club on Oct. 9. … Loyola Academy’s sophomore boys golf team captured the Chicago Catholic League Championship last month with a score of 299. LA’s Patrick Adler shot a medalist round of 69. … LA’s varsity (298) finished runner-up to Lake Forest Blue (one of two teams fielded by host Lake Forest High School) at an invite staged at the par-72 Lake Bluff Golf Club on Sept. 23. Michael O’Sullivan and Ben Scherman each shot a 73 (5 shots behind medalist Jackson Bussell of Stevenson) for the Ramblers, and Chip Savarie chipped in with a 75.

Price gets a kick out of watching Historic Wagner Farm grow BY BILL MCLEAN ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT

odd Price — the son of a farmer named Van and a teacher named Jan — has been the director of Historic Wagner Farm in Glenview since 2001. How fitting is that? “It’s as much of a farm as it is a museum,” Todd Price, 46, says of the 18.6-acre farm, one of the first working dairy farms in Cook County that is open to the public for recreation and learning. “My dad [who died, at the age of 70, in 2009] was my hero, and I still think about him all the time. He worked incredibly hard on our farm in Iowa; his thing was, ‘Be proud of what you do.’ My mom [a former teacher at Wescott Elementary in Northbrook] got me into history. I went to Civil War re-enactments with her in Missouri, starting when I was 10. I wasn’t allowed to hold a musket at one of those until I was 16.” After ordering coffee, scrambled eggs and biscuits with gravy at Egg Harbor Café in Glenview, the genial graduate of Clarinda High School in Iowa and Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, informs me he is reading a book about General George Custer. Minutes later he recounts a rewarding moment at Historic Wagner Farm. “I’m leading a class one day, and the kids were totally into it,” Price recalls. “Remember, we have great props there — animals and crops. The kids were so excited that day that they beat me to the door of a building I was going to show them. That kind of excitement thrilled me. “I’m a teacher at heart. I’m a historian. And I love farming.” Born in Evanston, Price lived in Northbrook for five
