STOOPED IN TRADITION Front stoops become prime real estate for autumn décor BY LIBBY ELLIOTT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

t’s a long-standing American tradition for homes to beckon trick-or-treaters with a candle-lit pumpkin on Halloween. But on the North Shore, the fall front stoop has evolved from the resting place of a hand-car ved Jack o’ Lantern sporting a snaggletooth grin to complex displays of flowers, foliage and gourds of every color and shape. Homeowners are spending hundreds of dollars, and sometimes more, on stand-out, professionally designed planters and step displays. Winnetka resident Amy Swartchild, a professional chef and floral designer specializing in outdoor arrangements and indoor table-scaping, uses materials she sources f rom pumpkin patches, farms and local stores, as well as found objects, such as branches, from her yard. “I’m always inspired by the idea of the harvest,” said Swartchild. “The colors and textures are so different f rom the summer, and it’s fun to bring in hardy plants, gourds, pumpkins, kales and berries.” Although some summer planters are still going strong due to the lingering heat, The stoop at 1034 Starr in Winnetka designed by chef/floral designer Amy Swartchild.

On October 1 in Cunliff Park in Glenview, the pair put together a successful “Pets in the Park” fundraiser on short notice, offering complimentary pet photos to guests and raising hundreds of dollars to support the ongoing work of The Humane Society. Flannery, a Wilmette resident, and Bridges, of Glenview, would often walk their dogs together and remark on their good fortune to live in petand family friendly communities. The two North Shore businesswomen had often talked about giving pet por-

Flannery and Bridges even accepted donations to The Humane Society from several non-pet owners who happened to be in the park that afternoon. “Knowing what a committed and cause-oriented community we live in, and believing that people would want to support the not-so-fortunate animals displaced by the hurricanes over the past few weeks, we bet that residents would come out in force,” said Flannery. “And they did!” One dog arrived dressed as a skunk.

Northbrook welcomes artists to paint the town BY LIBBY ELLIOTT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

orthbrook hosted its first Plein-air Painting Festival on October 6-8, inviting 26 Midwest artists to set up their easels around the village, paint the great outdoors, and compete for prize money. Sponsored by the Northbrook Arts Commission, the inaugural three-day festival kicked off on October 6 when the two-dozen registered artists fanned out across the town, painting for two days in both rain and shine while capturing the village’s streetscapes, parks and suburban vistas. Most found beauty in unexpected places. Plein-air, or “open air” artists have been outdoors painting directly from nature since the mid-19th century, when the introduction of ready-made paint in tubes allowed artists previously relegated to making their own paints by grinding and mixing ingredients - the freedom to work outside their studios. Around the same time, the small French box easel was invented, featuring telescopic legs and a built-in paint box, enabling painters to hike with

their materials into fields and forests. According to Bruce Bondy, Northbrook’s Arts Commissioner, plein-air painting has become increasingly popular over the past decade, with as many as 200 plein-air festivals held across the United States each year in picturesque locations such as Door County, Wisconsin and Sonoma, California. Bondy, an architectural illustrator who lives and works in Northbrook, joined the arts commission last year and began looking for new ideas and events. “This competitive plein-air Wilmette resident Christina Body works on her painting for the event is one of the first of its Plein-air festival in Northbrook. kind in Chicago,” confirmed PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEORGE PFOERTNER Bondy. “With our generous able Roofing trucks parked ing in the festival’s Quick Paint prize money, we’ve been able to outside the company’s headCompetition on Sunday attract some of the top artists quarters on Techny Road. morning on the Village Green, in the region.” “I’ve lived here for 20 years, where artists were required to By Saturday evening, per the but these artists have found work in a concentrated georules of the festival, artists had things that were under my nose graphic area and allotted just submitted three oil, acrylic, wa- that I never noticed,” said Bruce 2.5 hours to begin, finish and tercolor or pastel paintings for Bondy, Northbrook’s Arts Comframe a single painting. judging, exhibition and sale to missioner. “It’s nice to see the Body, a plein-air painter who the public on Sunday afternoon, community reflected back also works in her home studio October 8.

theme that comes up when homeowners are asked what they love about their fall stoop decorations. “When I open my front door and see Annie’s gorgeous arrangements it reminds me of how lucky we are in the Chicago suburbs to experience each wonderful season, especially fall,” said Margie Alpert of Deerfield, one of McAveeney’s clients. “I feel so happy and the front porch definitely comes to life with these beautiful planters. So many people have complimented my front stoop. The arrangements makes my home feel inviting and festive for the upcoming season.” At Chalet Nursery in Wilmette, head horticulturist Tony Fulmer designs his fall planters as a last burst of color before the long Chicago winter sets in. “Once the summer annuals look tired, it’s really hard to beat featuring mums and hardy asters for the main color punch, then tucking f rosthardy annuals, like pansies, to soften the edges of the container,” said Fulmer. Fulmer said kales and cabbages, which endure frost and continue well past the life of a mum or aster, are increasingly popular with customers. When assembling their own, pre-made containers for sale in their Lake Avenue nursery, Fulmer said, Chalet designers

often include deciduous shrubs for fall color and form, but also add an evergreen, which clients can keep for their holiday planters. “Tucking specialty pumpkins, gourds, vines, and stems topped with seasonal seed heads is a great way to create a personalized look that won’t be seen up and down your street,” said Fulmer. Although floral designers can charge between $500$1,000 to fill a pair of ornamental f ront-door planters, not everyone chooses to outsource the work to profession-

NEWS MALL Continued from PG 1 folks in our area.” In 2015, Deerbrook received approval of renovations to the north end of the shopping center to permit a new Jewel-Osco store and two new outlet buildings, according to the Plan and Commission website. The renovated JewelOsco store opened in July 2017. “I believe the investment in the Jewel-Osco store inspired Stein Mart and Art Van to come in, which has been a significant gain for us,” said Street. Street explained the movie theaters and some interior mall space were demolished earlier this year. The Art Van Furniture store should be occupied sometime mid-2018 in the space that previously housed Sports Authority. Additionally, construction is underway to build a new OfficeMax that will relocate closer to Art Van Furniture. Once OfficeMax vacates its current store, Stein Mart will move into that space. Street said modifications will be made before the space is ready for Stein Mart, but since there will only be minimal structural changes it shouldn’t be a lengthy process. He estimated that both stores will likely open at the end of next year. Street said all of the stores will face the east side of Deerbrook Shopping Center. “Part of the renovations of taking down the old theater space impacts the common areas of the old interior mall,” he said. At one point there was a proposal for Sam’s Club to go into the shopping center, but the offer was rescinded. The

village board then accepted the Plan Commission’s recommendation that the former Wonder Great Indoors space be occupied by The Dump Luxe Furniture Outlet store on the south end of the shopping center. The Dump Luxe sells furniture, mattresses, bedding and rugs and currently operates in several U.S. cities, including Lombard. “The Dump Luxe feels very comfortable that they can move into this space with some minor modifications that would take about six months, and is anticipated to open during the second half of next year,” said Street. Street added that there are still a few remaining retail spaces that have yet to be identified for users. These smaller spaces will be available near the new OfficeMax location. Street explained why the longtime Deerbrook Mall e vol ved into Deer brook Shopping Center. “ We just demolished the mall and part of what hampered other stores coming to the mall was the 1971 configuration of the mall itself,” he said. “It’s not how shopping centers are organized today.” There was a Marshalls discount retail chain store that was converted into T.J. Maxx, and the Deerfield store closed when T.J. Maxx moved to Northbrook. Street added that T.J. Maxx was the last store that needed the interior mall for access. The shopping center is owned by a pension fund in California and is managed by RREEF Alternative Investments, the global alternative investment management business of Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management division.

State commission landmarks Glenview nature preserves BY ADRIENNE FAWCETT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

he Illinois Nature Preserves Commission dedicated nearly 75 acres of open space in Glenview recently, providing greater long-term protection for the village’s natural lands. The nature preserves are in The Grove National Historic Landmark and Kent Fuller Air Station Prairie. “We are very excited to see these rare and valuable properties dedicated as Illinois Nature Preserves, the highest level of protection in our state,” said Lorin Ottlinger, director of The Grove, a 145-acre nature preserve and public museum at 1421 Milwaukee Avenue owned and operated by the Glenview Park District. The Grove was designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1976, and it is on the National Registry of Historic Places. At The Grove, 21.5 acres of nature preserve buffer and 23.2 acres of nature preserve were added to the existing 50-acre Kennicott’s Grove Nature Preserve, bringing the total nature preserve acreage to 94.7. Protection of this site supports several elements of the Illinois Comprehensive Wildlife Plan, such as the provision of suitable nesting habitats for threatened and endangered species, including the state-listed swollen sedge and the Kirtland’s snake (a species first identified by naturalist Robert Kennicott at The Grove in 1855).

of the original prairie grove first described by Dr. John Kennicott in 1850. The dedication of the Kennicott’s Grove Nature Preserve is a fitting companion to the designation of The Grove as a National Historic Landmark. At the Kent Fuller Air Station Prairie, the Nature Preserves Commission dedicated 30.24 acres of the total 32-acre site as the Glenview Naval Air Station Prairie Nature Preserve. Com-

prising both mesic and wetmesic prairies, the site is considered “imperiled globally” and is a high priority for protection. The property is a 32-acre remnant of a tall-grass prairie that once stretched for millions of square miles across North America. The namesake for the preserve is the Glenview Naval Air Station, which, upon its closure in 1995, was conveyed to the Village of Glenview. In 2007,

ownership of the prairie was transferred to the Glenview Park District. “Both parcels not only have great ecological significance, but are also important from a historic and cultural perspective,” said Ottlinger. “This community is richer as a result of the many natural areas that support biodiversity and provide quality opportunities for education and recreation.”

Northbrook master plan in the works for cyclists, pedestrians BY LIBBY ELLIOTT DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

orthbrook residents may soon find it easier to walk and cycle around town. Village officials began ramping up efforts this month to create a master bicycle and pedestrian plan linking key sections of Northbrook’s geography. Officials held a series of community engagement sessions on October 4 and 11 at the Northbrook Farmer’s Market and Metra Station, as well as the park district’s Autumnfest celebration

on October 7, to welcome public input. Officials confirm they’ve spoken directly to approximately 40 residents at these events. A further 95 residents have responded to a survey posted on the project’s website, www. northbrook.bikepedplan.com “We are currently in the data collection phase of the master plan, said Village Engineer Matt Farmer. “The project is still very fluid…we’re just getting started.” Northbrook’s master bicycle and pedestrian plan seeks to create bike trails and walking paths that connect Northbrook’s

central business district, major employers, parks and public transportation hubs, to residential neighborhoods throughout the village. In addition to suggesting new routes, the planning process will also evaluate the functionality of existing routes and redress current barriers to walking and biking. “We’re working to identify problem areas and needs as defined by residents and employers,” said Farmer. “This primarily includes parents who want their children to bike or walk to school, people who commute to

work or the train station, and weekend cyclists who ride long distances.” Farmer confirmed that village officials would continue engaging with residents by setting up an informational booth at “popup” events at the YMCA, Northbrook Leisure Center, Sunset Foods and Mariano’s until the first public meeting on the master plan is held in December 2017. Residents can also sign up on the project website to receive updates. “When we hold our public meeting, we want as many

people as possible to show up,” engagement sessions and the said Farmer. “At that point we’ll online project survey, the colbegin creating a plan and taking laborative master planning the next steps.” process also involves input from Village officials have retained the Northbrook’s major employChicago-based consultant, Alta ers, including Pace, Metra, the Planning +Design, and Chris- Northbrook Park District, topher Burke Engineering to YMCA, Northbrook Library, prepare the master plan with the Cook County Highways, Forest aim of harnessing the high- Preserve District of Cook quality trails that already sur- County, the Regional Transporround Northbrook, including tation Authority, the Illinois the Green Bay Trail, North Department of Transportation, Branch Trail, Skokie Lagoons, and Northbrook school boards.

On this day, my son Emmett Kyoshi Wilson will share his incredible works of art with the world. What makes this so special? Emmett was born with Down Syndrome. We invite you to stop by, take a look around and dress your home with these exciting works of art. A suggested $20 donation will be collected at the door and proceeds will go to NADS.

his was performance art. This was artistr y in motion. The game may have been out of reach at the time, but that didn’t stop Glenbrook South’s Ben Hides and Jeffery Chrones from carrying out a brilliantly executed 37-yard pass play. Hides did the wheeling. Chrones did the dealing. With 9:45 left in regulation, Hides, lined up as an inside receiver, went in motion on a jet sweep option and ended up running a wheel route down the left sideline. It turned into a wheel of fortune for the Titans, when the Evanston defensive back got sucked in on the play and Hides went up field and turned on the jets. Credit Chrones. The GBS senior quarterback aired out a perfectly timed pass to Hides, who caught the ball in stride and sprinted into the end zone. It was … NFL-like. “Personally, I love the play,” said Hides, following his team’s 45-20 setback to host Evanston High School on Oct. 13. “It looks like a jet sweep all of the way, but then I pull out and use my speed to get to the outside. “The X [GBS wide receiver Aidan O’Dea] drew their cornerback away, and that opened a path for me,” Hides added. “They were not expecting it.” The execution — including the line play of center John Travlos, guards Zach Adams and Dimitri Manesiotis and tackles Sam Dale and Sam Dietrich — couldn’t have been any better. “We got the right matchups,” said GBS head coach Dave Schoenwetter, who called the play. “It can be a hard play to defend. You’ve got guys going in four different directions. “He [Chrones] gave Ben time to separate and get open,” the coach added. “And then he threw a great pass.” The Chrones-to-Hides combination has worked well all season for the 5-3 Titans. Hides made four catches for

Still, moving the ball wasn’t an issue. GBS finished the game with 17 first downs and 388 yards. And it was a balanced attack. Jeff Jerfita carried the ball 17 times for 79 yards. Savontae Garner had 15 attempts for 78 yards, including a two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Chrones, who was not sacked the entire night, threw for 150 yards (7-16-3) and picked up a nifty 26 yards on a naked bootleg in the fourth quarter. Early in the second half — one play before Garner’s twoyard TD run — Chrones dropped a snap in the shot-gun formation, recovered it, rolled to his right and heaved up a 26-yard completion to Garner. The GBS quarterback probably didn’t get a good view of Garner’s reception. He was pushed into the GBS sideline and shoved to the ground by an Evanston pass rusher. S c hoenwetter couldn’t believe that the play didn’t draw a “late hit” flag. However, the GBS coach wasn’t surprised that Chrones and Garner pulled it off. “It started out as a odd play, when [Chrones] fumbled the snap,” said Schoenwetter. “But he was able to make something out of the nothing. “Those two guys have played a lot of football together,” the coach added.

80 yards against the 5-3 Wildkits. On the season, Hides has been targeted a team-high 38 times and made 18 grabs for 306 yards and five touchdowns. And the speedy 5-foot-10, 175-pound Hides, who also competes on the school’s track and field team (sprints, sprint relays and long and triple jumps), continues to be “jetsetter” in GBS’s running game. On GBS’s opening drive at Evanston, Hides capped an eight-play, 61-yard drive with a nine-yard TD run — on a jet sweep.

“We’re just trying to get people in position to make big plays,” said Schoenwetter. Hides finished the game with eight rushes for 34 yards. He’s currently averaging 7.7 yards per carry (39-301 yards) with four scores. Hides also is a key member of GBS’s special team units. In the Evanston game, he ran back four kicks and averaged 25 yards per return. “Ben has been a solid performer for us,” said Schoenwetter. “He’s a high-caliber kid, one you can always count on. He works extremely hard.

He’s always prepared.” Meanwhile, Schoenwetter thought his team was prepared for this key Week Eight battle. The second-year head coach was a little miffed by Evanston’s 25-point margin of victory. “Frustrating night,” he said. “I really thought the game would be closer.” The last thing that you want to do against the Wildkits is to get in a track meet with them. The ’Kits raced out to a 28-6 advantage on four big plays: a 14-yard TD run by quarter-

back Drew Dawkins, a 38-yard run by tailback Quandre Nicholson, a 54-yard pass play from Dawkins to Malik Ross and an 80-yard TD run by Dawkins on a quarterback draw. After scoring on their opening drive, the Titans had their next five drives stall short of the goal zone. Playing catch-up wasn’t ideal. “I actually thought our offensive line did a really good job. It was nice to have them all back healthy,” said Schoenwetter. “We got good line play tonight, but we didn’t capitalize on it.”

Notable: Glenbrook South will host New Trier (5-3) in a Week Nine game on Oct. 20. A win for the Titans (5-3) would clinch a state playoff berth. … This season has been a step in the right direction for the Titans. They went 1-8 in 2016. … GBS’s defensive leaders were Conor Nash (8 tackles, 1 sack, 2 other tackles for loss), Zach Adams (1 sack, 1 TFL), Andy Sirakides (6 tackles, 1 pass breakup), Peter Thein (6 tackles), Andrew Gall (4 tackles), Adam Budorick (4 tackles), Ryan O’Hara (2 tackles, 1 TFL), Cam Gottfred (2 tackles, 1 TFL) and Sam Dale (1 TFL).

Glenbrook South’s Grier finishes strong at state meet

n the end, he was right there. Glenbrook South’s Jack Grier overcame a tough start and just missed earning all-state honors at the Class 3A state golf tournament at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington on Oct. 13-14. The senior, who shot a 42 on the front nine of round one, eventually found his rhythm. In Saturday’s second round, Grier coupled a 34 with a 36. That 70 score nearly push him into the top 10. Instead, he ended up sharing 14th place (149) with three other players. Grier had six birdies to go along with nine birdies on Day Two. Jackson Bussell of Stevenson was the medalist (141). The team champion was Hinsdale Central, which edged runner-up Lake Forest by two strokes 593-595. It was the sixth straight title for the Red Devils.

goal and two PAT kicks. On the defensive side, Skyler Metzger had a huge game for the Spartans. He had 11 tackles to go along with one sack and four other tackles for loss. The other tackles leaders were Landon Abboud (8), Quinn Sybert (8), Ethan Quayle (7), Michael Weingardt (5) and Cam Casey (5). Abboud, Sybert and Quayle recorded TFLs, while Weingardt had a sack. Loyola Academy: How about some applause for Rory Boos? The Loyola Academy junior arguably had his best game of the season in his team’s 24-3 victory at Providence Catholic on Oct. 13. The wideout sparked the Ramblers (7-1) with a pair of long touchdown catches in the second quarter. He caught a 52-yard pass from quarterback Quinn Boyle with 7:16 left in the first half. Then, a little over five minutes later, he turned a Boyle pass into a 66-yard score. Boos finished the game with three catches for 149 yards. Boyle ended up completing 13 of 23 passes for 255 yards. Boyle’s third TD toss came with 1:56 left in the first half, when he found an open Noah Jones on a 10-yard strike. Jones, a highly touted junior, missed the first seven games of the season with an injury. The team’s other leading receiver was James Joyce (6 catches, 82 yards). Boyle also wound up as the team’s leading rusher (8-41), while Hamid Bullie also contributed. The senior running back (8 carries, 27 yards) put the Ramblers ahead 6-0 on a one-yard run with 3:50 left in the opening period.

Loyola Academy: Peter Radler turned in a stellar effort for the Ramblers. The junior ended up with a 147 to earn allstate honors. He shot a 74 (37-37) on Day One and a 73 (34-39) on Day Two. Senior Chip Savarie capped his high school career by carding a 36-hole total of 151, tying him for 26th place. As a team, the Ramblers got off to a great start (2nd place after Day One) but wound up placing fifth (608). LA’s other scorers were junior Jack Crawshaw (154) and senior Ben Scherman (156).

The freshman made a statement. Glenbrook South’s Maria Perakis came up with an impressive finish in her first IHSA state meet. Her 36-hole score of 152 placed her in tie for 19th at the Class 2A state meet at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur on Oct. 13-14. Perakis got out to a great start. On Day One, she shot a 35 on the front nine and added a 39 on the second nine. Glenbrook South finished 11th as a team with a 668, while New Trier took the title with a 603.

Glenbrook North junior tennis player Grace Chatas did not just earn points by returning serves well at a tennis meet last weekend. The Spartan also secured a return trip to the state meet at the nineteam Glenbrook North Sectional. A state qualifier in singles two years ago, as a freshman, Chatas

— the sister of Glenbrook North graduate C.C. Chatas, a former state doubles qualifier — advanced to state with a 6-0, 6-0 quarterfinal defeat of Deerfield’s Ruthie Silberman on Oct. 13 and then reached the sectional final the next day with a 6-4, 6-0 semifinal decision over Glenbrook South sophomore Vanessa Vaisanen inside Glenbrook Racquet Club in Northbrook. Top-seeded Emily Casati downed the second-seeded Chatas 6-2, 6-3 in the championship match on a rainy Oct. 14. “I always look forward to the opportunity to play a great player like Emily,” said Chatas, North’s No. 1 singles player this fall and a charge of tennis pro Brian McNamara — also Casati’s private coach. “Good competition,” she added, “is never a bad thing.” Chatas’ tennis game today? A very good thing. “I like her consistency, her concentration, her focus on the court,” said Spartans coach Peggy Holecek, whose squad finished runner-up with 24 points to champion Deerfield’s 29. “Grace hits the ball harder than she did a year ago. Her serve has improved, and her court movement has really improved.” Spartans senior Catherine O’Regan and her doubles partner, sophomore Samantha Frishman,

Glenbrook South: The Titans placed third (20 points) at last weekend’s Glenbrook North Sectional, netting a pair of state entrants in sophomore singles player Vanessa Vaisanen and in the doubles team of junior Jayne Fradin and senior Kendall Oldham. Vaisanen placed fourth. So did Fradin/Kendall. “I’m proud of our girls,” Glenbrook South coach Stephanie Mats said. “Real tough sectional, real tough matches.” Vaisanen had to complete a state-qualifying quarterfinal match, a victory, indoors on Oct. 14; it had started outdoors the day before. She then stayed indoors and competed in a semifinal and in the match for third place at Glenbrook Racquet Club, capping her busy Oct. 14. “Tired … she’s very tired,” Mats said. “Our top six girls are all very good players, good girls, interchangeable players.” The theme of the Titans’ practices for each of the three days before the start of the state meet? “Practice hard,” Mats said. On Oct. 7 at the CSL South Meet, the host Titans placed second in three doubles brackets and second at No. 2 singles en route to a runner-up tally of 11 points. NT’s Ali Benedetto topped Glenbrook South’s Nicole Sedenkov in the No. 2 final. Titans twosomes Elizabeth Hoo/Elle Stewart (No. 1), Kendall Oldham/Jayne Fradin (No. 2) and Colleen Demling/Kate Nadler (No. 3) also silvered in Glenview.

also advanced to state, winning all four of their matches in straight sets. None of their eight sets was closer than 6-3. The duo defeated Deerfield seniors Jamie Jones and Danielle Hulsey 6-3, 6-2 in the doubles final. O’Regan and her sister, 2017 Glenbrook North graduate Colette O’Regan (now a club tennis player at the University of Illinois), collaborated for a runner-up showing in doubles at the state meet last fall. This year’s three-day girls state tennis meet was scheduled to begin on Oct. 19, with Buffalo Grove High School serving as Tournament Central. Meanwhile, at the CSL North Meet on Oct. 7, Glenbrook took third with 36 points. Glenbrook North senior Catherine O’Regan, half of last year’s state runner-up doubles team (with sister Colette), teamed with Sami Frishman last weekend to finish first at No. 1 doubles. Spartans pairs Sharon Koretskov/Lara Pick (No. 2 doubles) and Melissa Goldin/ Erica Uhlig (No. 3) contributed runner-up finishes.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

An all-around good guy — and great gymnastics coach BY BILL MCLEAN ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT

he 100-year-old rocking chair inside the Foerch house in Homewood never had a chance against a young Doug Foerch more than four decades ago. The son of Dick and Barbara Foerch figured the piece of furniture would serve quite nicely as an apparatus to execute a gymnastics strength move. “Broke the chair,” a smiling Doug Foerch — now 55, a Deerfield resident and in his 33rd year in coaching and in his 35th year as a gymnastics judge — recalls after ordering a glass of water and pumpkin pancakes (with walnuts in the batter) at Rhapsody Café in Deerfield. “Dad,” he adds with a chuckle, “was kind of mad.” Doug Foerch, therefore, is kind of a successful coach. The Homewood-Flossmoor High School graduate and former top-notch gymnast at Northern Illinois University coached Mundelein High School boys gymnastics teams to six state championships between 1988 and 2001; helped Deerfield High School graduate Christina Loukas — a two-time USA Olympian — capture three state diving championships (2001-03); and guided Deerfield High School’s boys gymnastics team to a programbest third-place showing at the state meet last spring. “My coaching style is a combination of the one my father [who died at the age of 90, in 2015] had and the one my coach at NIU [Chuck Ehrlich] preferred,” says the 5-foot-8, 160-pound Foerch, who’s as fit as most elite triathletes are, thanks to a workout regimen of two hours per day. “My dad was soft-spoken, a gymnastics coach who’d put an arm around an athlete and say, ‘Let me show you the right way to do a routine.’ Coach Ehrlich was loud, much louder than my father and as knowledgeable as my father. But you wanted him to be loud, you wanted him to yell at times, because that

meant he cared about you, saw something in you.” Foerch, a PE/health teacher and a gymnastics/diving coach at District 113 high schools (Deerfield and Highland Park) since 2002, has been sporting a flat-top ’do for just about forever. It’s his way of paying tribute to his father, a World War II veteran who coached boys gymnastics teams at Thornton, Reavis and Thornwood high schools. Countless gymnasts under Doug Foerch’s direction have competed at big meets with a similar cut. The look is tight and clean and a not-so-subtle reminder of the discipline he expects — make that, demands — from his athletes. “In the middle of one of my practices, a gymnast left the floor and started to head toward his gym bag,” Foerch recalls. “I asked him, ‘Where are you going?’ He said, ‘To check my phone.’ ” Foerch’s reply, a nanosecond later: “No you’re not; get back here.” Foerch has never owned a cell phone. Has never … texted a message. “I don’t need all of the distractions that come with

old-school. I am tempted to clink water glasses with him. I think of a wedding. I then ask him how he met his wife, Jeanie. Foerch’s eyes begin to dance. “She was a business teacher at Mundelein [High School] when I started teaching and coaching there,” Foerch says. “We went to the school’s homecoming together. I guess you could stay that was our first date. We danced together, for only one dance, because we saw kids near the dance floor and noticed they were talking about us. I said to Jeanie, ‘Let’s get out of here.’ ” They got married in 1989. They have four children: Brock, 26; Cody, 24; Colt, 21; and Lexis, 19. Each adores math. Brock and Cody teach the subject at North Chicago High School and Zion-Benton High School, respectively. Colt and Lexis major in math at Trinity International University in Deerfield. Doug Foerch grew up in a household with five siblings — the late Jeff; Brad, 58; Steve, 57; Laura, 53; and Shelley, 52. T h e i r 88-yearold

became accomplished gymnastics coaches at Illinois high schools. “My father, my brothers … all were major influences when I was a kid,” says Doug Foerch, a member at Christ Church in Lake Forest since the early 2000s. “Gymnastics clubs did not exist back then. But we did gymnastics all year. It helped, with my dad letting us work out in the gym at Thornwood High School. During gymnastics seasons, I’d work out at 6 a.m., go to school, attend gymnastics practice after school and then work out some more at Thornwood after dinner. Going at it for seven hours a day wasn’t unusual.” Foerch, as a junior at NIU, made $25 each time he judged a gymnastics meet. He and other Huskies gymnasts traveled all over Illinois to earn the money. “We probably spent that much money on gas on those weekends,” Foerch, chuckling again, says. “You know what? That was a big deal, because it was a job, and we got to work with knowledgeable gymnastics people at a young age.” Decades later, Foerch hasn’t lost an ounce of passion for the sport, for coaching, for teaching. Deerfield HS graduate Heath Ogawa — now an AllAmerican men’s diver at Lake Forest College — won a state gymnastics title on vault with a 9.5 in 2015, his senior season. He hadn’t executed a routine until Foerch introduced him to gymnastics in his f reshman year. “That was a great moment, seeing Heath up there on a podium and smiling at the state meet,” Foerch says. “But sometimes the biggest reward of coaching comes during the regular season, when a kid either achieves a personal-best score or sticks a routine for the first time at a meet. I love those moments. I love it when a gymnast realizes all that hard work was worth it. “The look I enjoy noticing, more than any other, from a gymnast’s face … it’s the one that says, ‘Yes, finally!’ ”
