AKE FOREST — After months of study, the golfing public got a look at ideas to put Deerpath Golf Course on a sustainable long-term footing. During a community forum March 16 at Dickinson Hall, a consultant hired by the city suggested up to $8.3 million in imSPECIAL provements including HOME long-term course maintenance, an enlarged practice facility and a bigger clubhouse to accommodate banquets — all with an eye to increase revenue. Alderman Tim Newman suggested funding for the work can come from a number of sources, including the city treasury, bond sales, private funding, and a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation. “I can say with certainty $8.3 million is beyond the capacity of the city to finance by itself,” Newman said. “You successfully saw (a public-private partnership)

IGHLAND PARK — Alan Mayer was a semi-pro boxer at 13, has owned 15 companies, was a banker, published his first book at 91, and still has trouble finding a date. “I drive at night, I have my own teeth and I still have some hair, so you’d think I’d be a desirable commodity,” said the 92-year-old. “I run around with a couple of crazy old ladies, but I’m not a planner. If I’m at home and I happen to think at 5 p.m. to call somebody for dinner, it doesn’t work. They want someone who’s more attuned with them.” Mayer, who recently published a second book of short stories, has been working out at the gym for over 40 years, and after surviving four different types of cancer (melanoma, colon, lymphoma, and a growth on his spine), he still has plenty of vim and vigor. “I’ve never been afraid of death,” he said.

Gorton Names New Executive Director By CONTRIBUTOR
L
AKE FOREST–The Board of Directors of the Gorton Community Center announced the hiring of Amy Wagliardo to succeed Brenda Dick as Gorton’s executive director. A committee of the Board searched broadly and received nearly 60 applications for the position. “The candidate pool was very competitive, and we are thrilled to have selected Amy to lead Gorton,” said Gorton Board Chair Mark Ventling. “She has an extensive background in cultural programming and organization management and has demonstrated success in every area critical to Gorton’s con-
tinued success.” Wagliardo’s career encompasses 15 years in cultural and arts organization management, including creation of both single event and series programs, fundraising, finance, strategic planning, facility management, IT, human resources, logistics, and compliance. “We are excited to bring a person of Amy’s caliber to Gorton and look forward to her spearheading new growth while maintaining all that is special about Gorton,” said Gorton Vice Chair Barrett Davie. Wagliardo lives in Lake Bluff with her husband and two young children. She was recently deputy director of the Midwest Young Artists Conservatory. Before moving to

the community in 2014, she was director of operations at the Dallas Symphony for 10 years. In that role, she managed the day-to-day artistic operations of this world-renowned organization. Prior to that, she spent several years at the Dallas Performing Arts Foundation, where she ran daily operations while the Foundation successfully completed a $275 million capital campaign. She began her career after graduate school as a consultant with Accenture. After graduating with a bachelor of music in music education, Wagliardo earned a master of arts-arts administration and a master of business administration, all from Southern Methodist University. She was an adjunct pro-
fessor in arts management and administration at the College of Fine Arts at Texas Christian University and also at the Meadows School of the Arts at SMU. She has volunteered with numerous community and non-profit groups both locally and in Dallas. “I am honored and extremely excited to begin working with Gorton Community Center,” said Wagliardo. “Because of Brenda’s and the board’s leadership, Gorton is poised to build on its history and blossom in new ways to further enhance its role in our community.” Wagliardo will work with Brenda Dick starting April 4 and assume the role of Gorton’s executive director in late April.

NEWS DEERPATH Cont. from PG 1 with Forest Park and that was nearly all privately funded. We’re going to borrow from the idea to remodel Deerpath.” Before Newman talked about ways to pay for the project, Todd Quitno of Lohmann Golf Designs, the city’s golf course consultant, explained the changes he believes should be built into the golf course’s master plan. Quitno said the first step is to improve drainage on the golf course, which was built on a flood plain, so the links can be reopened more quickly after a rain. He said the plan is to move the water off the fairways, greens and rough to out of play areas. He suggested tee to green cart paths so carts are allowed on the course faster after a rain. Drainage on the greens will be improved too. “A full cart path system would be huge at Deerpath,” Quitno said. “Course accessibility after storms is really your major hindrance right now with increased cart and green fees.” Beside drainage, Quitno suggested increasing the number of spots on the practice range
where people can hit balls and installing turf rather than mats. He also said there could be short range areas where golfers can practice their short game. He said this is another revenue source. IDOT plays into the scheme because it has approached the city about combining drainage on the golf course to relieve flooding under the Highway 41 overpass, according to Quitno. Not only will this help improve drainage, but it will offset the cost between $750,000 and $950,000, according to Newman. Newman said the city could come up with $3.5 million to $4.1 million, which might include the sale of bonds. Between $750,000 and $950,000 would come from IDOT. The balance would be raised from private donors. The original land for the course was donated approximately 90 years ago by a group of prominent citizens such as A.B. Dick so the city could have a public golf course as well as the private clubs, according to Newman. “This was a wonderful gift to the town,” Maddie Dugan of
Lake Forest and the greatgranddaughter of Dick, said. “I applaud you all for wanting to preserve this and keep golf alive in Lake Forest.” Alderman Prue Beidler said donations could be larger, alleviating the amount coming from taxpayers and bond sales. She said she was active raising private money for Forest Park three years ago and Market Square in 2000. She said she believed money will come from residents other than golfers who play at Deerpath. Beidler said the bonds were not necessary for Forest Park and she is hopeful debt will not be needed for the golf course. She said she believes donations will come from parents of children in the junior golf program—another revenue source—and people who want to do something for the community. “This is a heritage amenity in this community,” Beidler said. “This has mattered in this community for 90 years. To people who were shaping this town, and many of them belonged to other clubs, this mattered. It mattered that people had a place to play golf. It still matters.”
RENAISSANCE Cont. from PG 1 writing and life, he wore a pressed lavender shirt that was in sync with the palette of the living room, and he praised the decorating skills of his late wife, whom he lost to ovarian cancer four years ago. A youthful portrait of her was displayed above their couch, while a timeless steel Parson’s table, which Mayer built when he owned a furniture business, stood in front of the couch. The couple purchased their Highland Park home in 1959. Mayer has several unique sculptures that he created and placed throughout the house and lawn. He began sculpting about 20 years ago, and he loved designing pieces for Terry. Mayer proudly recalled that she only had four cavities, as he pointed out the whimsical sculpture of a giant smile in their dining room. His work has been featured in the New York Museum of Modern Art. Mayer met Terry when she was 14 and he was 15, and they had 74 “wonderful years” together, he said. At first, Mayer’s future father-in-law did not share his enthusiasm over the relationship. In 1946, Mayer met with Terry’s father to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage, and he said, “Alan, you don’t have a job, you’re not educated, how are you going to take care of my daughter? I think you should wait until you have a job.” Mayer was intimidated, and he told Terry that her father thought they should wait. She called him a few hours later and said to ask her father again the following night. He asked again, and surprisingly her dad agreed. When Mayer asked Terry why her dad changed his mind, his new fiancée explained that her mother had a talk with him. Years later, when Mayer’s future son-in-law asked for his daughter Laurie’s hand in marriage, Mayer had just read an article stating that it took $250,000 to raise a child from birth to college. “I asked her doctor boyfriend, so you want me to turn over this $250,000 package to you? What makes you think you’re entitled to that?” And he said, “Well look at it this way Mr. Mayer, the next $250,000 will be on me.” At their first year anniversary, his son-in-law repeated the conversation and added, “I did not expect to spend it the first year.” Mayer decided not to put his
other daughter Beth through the “$250,000 challenge,” and is happy to report that both his daughters are happily married to “good husbands and fathers.” Mayer has five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. This story and many others appear in Mayer’s new book “Sitting Duck,” which is filled with reflections of his long and adventurous life. Mayer decided to start writing after his wife died, because he had “nothing to do,” he said. His first book was “The Fix,” which he wrote at age 91. “I formed my own publishing company called “We The People Publishing,” and I sent them a manuscript which they accepted,” Mayer said. Mayer said he owes his life to two people, his history professor who insisted he learn how to box, and a black farmer who taught him about honesty. Mayer said that when he was about 9 years old, he would get beaten up on Fridays. His mother was Jewish and his father was Catholic, but he and his sister were raised without religion. However, everyone in the small town of Babylon, on Long Island, New York, knew that Friday was a special night for Jews, so after school a group of three or four boys would gang up on him. Mayer’s history teacher made him learn how to box, and he trained for six months. All of the towns had boxing clubs, and if you fought in one of the clubs you got $5 if you won and $2 if you lost -- as long as the house was full. If it was not full, then the purse was split in half, said Mayer. “In 1936 when I was 13, I became a semi-pro boxer, and I used to go in and fight for the money,” said Mayer. “Everybody was poor, and nobody had work. I had some training, so I knew how to fight. These other poor souls just came in to make money, and they usually lost and I would win $5.” Mayer said he would have kept boxing if his family hadn’t moved to Chicago. His mom didn’t know that he boxed until many years later. Before he learned how to defend himself, he never realized how much he liked punching people. Like the boxing story, the incident with the black farmer is also featured in “Sitting Duck.” When Mayer was about 10 years old, he stole two dollars from his aunt’s purse to buy a Daisy Air Rifle, because his parents couldn’t afford it and
they didn’t like guns. After he bought the gun, he and his friend went out to look for things to shoot at when they came across a chicken, and they took turns shooting BBs at the chicken. “All of a sudden there’s a big hand on my shoulder and it’s the farmer,” said Mayer. “He grabbed me by the ear and said, ‘Come on we’re going to your house. Your mama’s going to pay me for the chicken.’ ” Mayer told the farmer that if his mother found out she would send him to reform school, and he told him the whole story. They negotiated and Mayer offered to give him his gun to pay for the chicken. The farmer said, “So you want me to condone a theft from your aunt, and for killing my chicken? You’ve committed two crimes and I’m supposed to forgive you?” They finally made a deal, and the farmer told him, “You have to promise me one thing, that you will never steal again in your life if I let you go, and you have to double cross your heart, and if you do, I’ll know about it, and I’ll tell your mama.” After that experience, Mayer said he was never dishonest again. As a child Mayer moved about 10 or 12 times. In 1938, after his father lost his butcher store, the family moved to Chicago. Though Mayer was only 14 and didn’t have a driver’s license, he drove the family in a 1934 DeSoto. The trip from Long Island took about four days. While Mayer was in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, he was stationed at 19 different bases. He said Cuba was the most interesting of the places he was based, because it had brands of booze that were not available in America. “You could fly back and forth and bring five bottles into the U.S. tax free, but you had to make a deal with the pilot after you went through customs,” Mayer said. “He expected you to sell him back three of the five bottles. The booze was about $5 a bottle, so we would get our $15, and then we had two bottles that we could sell for about $100 a bottle, but instead we used to foolishly drink it.” Mayer has many more stories to share, but for now he’s going to enjoy being 92, and continue eating whatever he likes, while avoiding vegetables at all cost. If you’d like to learn more about Mayer’s books of stories, please visit the We The People Publishing website.

D-112 Board Receives Threats in Wake of Failed Referendum By Julie Kemp Pick Dailynorthshore.com
H
IGHLAND PARK — North Shore School District 112 board members said they have received hateful emails and worse since March 15, when voters defeated a $198 million referendum to reconfigure the district’s elementary and middle schools. “I would like to call out all those people using fake names on the internet,” said Board President Michael Cohn at the March 21 board workshop. “The death threats and calls for people to resign are inappropriate. If you want to help solve the problem, great. (Otherwise] stop embarrassing Highland Park.” Board member Jane SolmorMordini said she has received death threats. “It disappoints me because I think we’re better than that,” she said. In addition, the pro-referendum community group Moving 112 Forward received an email using profanity to describe members of the group and advising them: “Don’t bring
it back. The community hates every single one of you.” Residents had the chance to voice their opinions about the failed referendum at the D-112 board workshop. Below is a small sampling of comments made: “This referendum was misguided, misplaced and mis-sold. A) I’m willing and able to be part of a new solution if asked, and B) lead, follow or get out of the way,” said Forest Barbieri. Art Kessler said he was appreciative of the board and the Superintendent’s Citizens Finance and Facilities Advisory Committee (SCFFAC) for putting their hearts and souls into trying to fix the district’s issues. “We understand that it was more than just a job to you, and we thank you for your dedication to our students,” said Kessler. “The most important thing is that we woke up the community to the very real problems that the district faces. BDR 3 (Budget Deficit Reduction) is the worst possible outcome. The primary goal should be to come up with a plan that maintains current class sizes and programming while
avoiding the overcrowding associated with BDR3. Through surveys we can better understand people’s reasons for rejecting the referendum. This won’t take as long as the SCFFAC, because the SCFFAC already did a lot of the heavy lifting.” Former teacher and 40-year Highland Park resident Diane Brown said she voted against the referendum along with more than two thirds of Highland Park: “I’m frankly insulted when I hear proponents of this flawed plan say that people like me are misinformed, nostalgic or cheap. Instead I would argue that people like me are sensible, practical and educationally minded. We need a plan that is financially reasonable, educationally sound, and supports community schools. If this board and administration are unwilling and unable to work on a new plan it’s time to step aside. I have lost confidence in you,” said Brown. Bennett Lasko suggested that everyone stop the insults and take a breath and a break. “Let’s not rush into a decision. I urge everyone to keep an open mind, and to start by looking
at things that most people can agree with,” he said. D-112 Board President Michael Cohn explained that the purpose of the workshop was to begin “brainstorming the next step.” As previously outlined in the BDR 3 plan, the district will close Green Bay, Lincoln, Ravinia and Elm Place schools at the end of the 2016/2017 school year. “I would like to take a moment to thank the administration for all of the extra hard work that you put into planning for the referendum. I can only ask that you put that much effort into whatever comes next. I know that BDR 3 will be difficult, but I hope that a solution will be figured out that the community will support.” Cohn said this is not a solution that anyone wanted. Solmor-Mordini said the board put six years into this plan that was overwhelmingly rejected. She suggested assembling a group of community members to come up with a plan that is “financially feasible, sustainable and meets assumptions that I think are non-negotiable for our
community.” The list would include buildings with safety features and security, enough classrooms in the district, and full-day kindergarten. “We need to provide more information so that our community understands that we are transparent, trustworthy, and responsible fiduciaries,” said Solmor-Mordini. “It’s going to be an uphill road to regain trust that is unfortunate that we lost due to accusations that were unfounded in truth and fact by members of the community against us.” Board member Eric Ephraim suggested conducting a survey to see why people voted “Yes” and “No.” Samantha Stolberg, board vice president, said she agreed with Ephraim and that she felt that the survey should be done first. When board member Jacqueline Denham asked if it would be possible to have a plan ready for November, Cohn replied, “Not a chance.” He explained that the board will work with community members, and combined with thousands of documents the process might take 18
months or two years. BDR 3 will be implemented gradually to give the community more time to create a new plan. “It’s the responsible thing for a long-term solution,” said Cohn. Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy said, “Today was the first opportunity for us to get together as a team, and ultimately the board makes the final recommendation. It’s an incredible amount of time and work. Stolberg recommended having a steering committee, and Ephraim said to simultaneously have a survey and find a facilitator. Cohn asked Monica Schroeder, assistant superintendent for personnel services, about a time frame for reducing staff members, and she said teacher reductions are a very lengthy cycle. The process for the 2017 school year will start in January 2017 after evaluations come in. Cohn said it was an unfortunate situation, and he would like to give teachers time to find work. The board will have a closed meeting on March 22, and the next public meeting will be on April 5.

But it is populations through analysis of had been seen in a “carnal embrace” Thomasina’s prescient theories the estate’s grouse hunting records.
Toward the play’s end Stoppard give us some verbal sparring between Hannah and Valentine as they debate the merits of their research. Finally, Hannah declares with authority, “It’s all trivial— your grouse, my hermit, Bernard’s Byron. Comparing what we’re looking for misses the point. It’s wanting to know that makes us matter.” Thus Hannah captures the essence of “Arcadia.” Transcending mere intellectual exercise, a play that explores thermodynamics, computer algorithms, landscape design, the poetry of Byron, and academic competition, is ultimately–and satisfyingly–about the human passion for acquiring knowledge and for seeking order within our chaos. ‘Arcadia’ runs through May 1, with performances Tuesday through Sunday (matinees on Saturday, Sunday, and select Wednesdays) at Writers Theatre, 325 Tudor Court, Glencoe.

Socials Village Carpets & Rugs Retirement Party Photography by Larry Miller
Friends, fellow business leaders, and customers gathered at the Green Bay Road showroom of Village Carpets & Rugs to bid a happy retirement to Rip and Sue Suster in mid-March. The married duo are passing over the reigns of the Winnetkabased shop, which specializes in carpet and area rug design and installation. After 36 years, the Susters will hand over the daily management of the store to experienced manager Victor Esamilla. Friends of the Susters raised a glass to toast the couple, who have also been married for over 50 years. villagecarpets.com

Keefe is the Seasoned “Go-To” Expert for Illinoisans Seeking Wisconsin Real Estate By HannaH Denton Dreaming of a lakehome? A nature retreat? A great place to retire, or invest? Your home and lifestyle options are many in Southeastern Wisconsin. Within a one to two-hour drive of any North Shore neighborhood is a vast offering of Southeastern Wisconsin lakes, charming towns and bucolic countryside areas. Keefe Real Estate specializes in this Illinois-bordering area of Wisconsin, and has long been the market leader there with nearly 90 agents covering the tri-county region. “Helping Illinois residents with their Wisconsin real estate investments has always been a focus of our brokerage, going back to my grandfather’s vision for the company when he founded it in 1943,” said Tom Keefe, President of Keefe Real Estate. Keefe Real Estate, headquartered in Lake Geneva with seven offices regionally, is a third-generation family-owned company that ranks in the top 500 of brokerages nationally. (See keeferealestate. com.) “We market lifestyles as well as property- from year-round living options to vacation homes of all sizes and kinds,” said Keefe. “Our clients come with many different dreams - lakehome escapes, country retreats, golf course communities, like Geneva National, and horse and hobby farms, too.” He continued, “Investment and new construction properties are also growing in demand these days, spurred on by the strong Wis-
consin economy.” Deciding just what lifestyle you want may indeed be the first step in your search for property in southern Wisconsin, as the options are many. Those seeking to be on or near a lake have many choices. Likely the best-known is Lake Geneva -a historic and charming town on the banks of one of the largest and deepest lakes in Wisconsin. Lakeside estates with historic roots remain a coveted commodity here, but smaller homes, townhomes and condos on and off the lake are in high demand as well. The popular Delavan Lake area is just a few miles to the west. And the expansive tri-county “Lakes Country” area – from Lauderdale Lakes to Whitewater to the Brown’s Lake region – offers bucolic options to the north and northeast. Homes in virtually all price ranges are available on dozens of lakes and waterways along the way, or set amidst beautiful nature areas, like the Kettle Moraine and Alpine Valley regions. Executive homes and country retreats are increasingly popular options, too. Former North Shore Realtor Julie Morse and her husband bought a historic farm with pond and wooded acreage just north of Lake Geneva three years ago. “When we first started looking for a Wisconsin get-away ourselves, we were amazed by all the opportunity that existed so close to Illinois that we’d never known was there,” said Morse, who ultimately decided to join Keefe’s management team last fall. “What started as a personal journey has now become a professional passion.”

Let’s Talk Real Estate by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI
ThInk rIGhT TO LIve rIGhT In order to guarantee your success and satisfaction; follow the well-trodden advice rendered by thousands of successful home-owners and investors. Use these guidelines to prepare your mind for the process and outcome of buying a home. First, you must concede that clichés are well circulated for good reason. Location, for example, is indeed of centrifugal importance when selecting and bidding on a home. Ask yourself before the process sucks you in; Do you like the area, and the schools? Does it have the important features you want? Where do you work, and how does the transportation scenario look? These things may seem secondary to aesthetics in the beginning, but in the long run they are the key factors in a happy life. Second, consider that not all amenities are created equal. Square footage can look very different depending on layout, and a pool in Arizona reaps far more return on investment than one in Michigan. Avoid disqualifying or unnecessarily seeking property based on stringent criteria. Otherwise you may find yourself either pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised. Third, keep an open mind, and always make decisions based on the future. A home is a huge purchase that requires care and patience. Carpet can be replaced, but the essence of a home is as fixed as your mortgage payment. Lastly, be realistic, trust your gut, and don’t get discouraged. You may have to look for some time before you locate that perfect home, but it is far better to look and remain optimistic than to settle and squirm under the burden of an unwanted mortgage. If a home does not “feel” right, trust yourself, and remember that this is a real-world decision, so holding out for the “deal of the century” is as fruitless as jumping at the first opportunity that comes along.

Classic Italian at Alex’s Washington Gardens Alex’s Washington Gardens is well known for thin crust pizza that Alex’s parents Tony and Ellen Scornavacco created in 1944 for their popular restaurant, Scornavocco’s, which closed 50 years later. Stoeker pointed out that Scornavacco’s was the first restaurant to sell Chicago Style thin crust pizza on the North Shore. “Pizza was a huge fad in Italy during World War II when soldiers brought it to the U.S.,” he said.

Washington Gardens in 1982. From 1982 to 1994 both Alex’s Washington Gardens and Scornavacco’s down the street were serving the same recipes. According to Stoeker, Washington Gardens was named after Alex Scornavacco’s grandmother Angelina Scornavacco, who in 1932 began selling sandwiches and beverages to passengers on the North Shore line by the Highwood train station. Located in her yard on the corner of Washington and Railway Avenues (prior to becoming Green Bay Road), it became known as the Beer Garden,
though beer was not sold during prohibition. Angelina’s sons Tony (Alex’s dad) and “Mondo” Scornavacco built the Beer Garden into a restaurant called Washington Gardens, which became Scornavacco’s in 1966. That restaurant closed in 1994 when Fort Sheridan closed, Stoeker said. Since 1982, Alex’s Washington Gardens has been simmering with savory recipes accompanied by sweet stories with just a dash of spice. “Alex still stops in whenever his grandchildren are in town. I’m like
an adopted nephew,” said Stoeker, who just happens to be a redhead. Stoeker got the idea for the redhead event when he was riding his bike through Europe during Redhead Days over two years ago. He said the organization in Breda, The Netherlands was looking for worldwide affiliates, and so he signed up. He plans to do a bigger version this year complete with kids’ activities on June 4 and 5. “I welcome everyone to take a picture, and we might try to break the record for 1,800 redheads in one place at the same time,” said Stoeker.

Baptism by fire
After facing the heat early in his career, quick study Haracz turns into top-notch closer for Loyola’s boys water polo team BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
I
t was 2014. Walter Haracz was a sophomore at Loyola Academy, a water polo newbie finding his way, learning all about the rules and the nuances of the sport. During a practice one day, Ramblers coach Daniel Hengelmann ordered Haracz — a soccer goalkeeper in grade school — to get in goal. Haracz got in goal. “I told Walter, ‘You’ll figure it out,’ ” Hengelmann recalls. One of the first shots Haracz faced that day came from the hand of senior Cameron Shewchuck, Patrick Kane in a tank of melted ice. Shewchuck was a high-scoring poloist. Talented. And an all-stater for the eventual state champions in ’14. “I see Cameron with the ball, ready to shoot, and I’m … scared,” Haracz, an Evanston resident, recollects. “Who wouldn’t be?” Shewchuck fired the ball right at the rookie. Haracz blocked it — with his head. While Haracz was hoping to get the feeling back in most of his noggin, Hengelmann, standing and nodding on deck, was thinking, OK, we’re on to something here. Haracz treaded water and saved shots that counted as a JV keeper in his first polo season. He earned the start in goal for all 33 of Loyola Academy’s games (with a 6.94 goals-against average) last year, when he stopped a penalty shot and scored a length-of-the-pool goal for a sectional finalist. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior is the last line of defense for an 8-2 club ranked sixth in the state by illpolo. com this spring. He already has two penalty-shot saves in ’16. One is rare. A total of two is Shewchuck-going-scoreless-in-a-game rare. On to something indeed. “We’re very lucky to have Walter in goal, one of the best goalies in the state,” Ramblers goalkeeper coach and ’07 LA graduate Adam Weissert, an architect, says of the tri-captain. “He’s got very good awareness, a
Among his favorite teachers at Loyola Academy is Dr. William Lowe, a Latin teacher. Haracz was one of only a handful of sophomores in a junior-heavy Latin class in the 2013-14 school year. A swimming teammate, Charles Hussey, had saved a seat for Haracz on the first day of class. That made Haracz feel comfortable, from Minute One. Lowe did more than just lecture and assign homework and grade tests. The teacher interacted often with his students, engaged them. Haracz appreciated Lowe’s style of teaching. “He also went out of his way to make sure I felt I was fitting in as a sophomore,” Haracz says. “He asked me several times, ‘You doing fine?’That meant a lot to me. Great teacher.” Haracz has applied to several colleges. He is waiting to hear from a few. He has been waitlisted at a couple of others.

Scary good
Blueliner Munson proved to be a fierce enforcer for state champion New Trier Green BY BILL MCLEAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com
T
hey practically suffocated Will Douthit, a New Trier Green hockey goaltender. NT Green had just edged Loyola Gold 2-1 in an AHAI state semifinal in Bensenville last month. Coming at Douthit, full bore, was an avalanche of hockey teammates. Their sticks and gloves had been discarded, their giddiness unleashed. Green’s players then enveloped their victorious goalie and made him disappear under a hockey-clad dog pile at Edge Ice Arena on March 14. New Trier Green senior defenseman Dillon Munson, meanwhile, skated away from the celebration and toward his team’s bench. Waiting and smiling was an assistant coach, in charge of Green’s defense. The player and the coach hugged until they lost circulation in their arms. The coach’s name? Lenny Munson. Dillon’s dad. “He’s the one … the one who put me on the ice, taught me how to skate, coached me, drove me to most of my games, drove me to [American] Heartland Ice Arena [in Lincolnwood] early, really early, in mornings,” Dillon, a 6-foot-1, 180-pounder, says. “I had to hug him first. I wanted to hug him first. Beating Loyola, in a game like that, was huge, such a huge win. ” Four days later, in a considerably bigger arena, New Trier Green beat Providence Catholic 5-2 for the program’s third state championship in four years. Another dog pile. More takeyour-breath-away hugs for a 54-10-1 crew. Among the throng of New Trier Green fans in the stands at United Center was Dillon’s brother, first-grader Cole, a goaltender, like Lenny was at Loyola Academy and at the University of WisconsinStevens Point and for AAA and Junior A teams. “My mom [Amy] and about 10 of my brother’s friends were there, too,” says Dillon, whose sister, Tay, skated as a junior defenseman for New Trier’s girls team in the winter. “That was great, having a lot of little guys
‘D’-lighted: Defenseman Dillon Munson (left) celebrates with teammate Chris Sonnenschein during New Trier Green’s win over Providence Catholic in the state title game on March 18. He’ll play in the 2016 America’s Showcase in Pittsburgh later this month. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOEL LERNER
up there cheering for us.” There’s a photo, taken more than 10 years ago, of a little guy in skates, airborne at a rink in Glenview. The image rests in a frame at the Munson home in Wilmette. Holding the little guy in the picture is Lenny Munson. You need training wheels to learn how to bike. You need a hockey dad to learn how to skate. “My dad,” Dillon says, “had lifted me in that photo. He is helping me glide.” Dillon and a bunch of his friends and future New Trier Green teammates played for Coach Lenny Munson’s Wilmette Braves Mite 1 team more
than a decade ago. They rose through the ranks on rinks, together. Little Dillon got bigger and better and gave forwards a whole lot to think about when they had the puck and wanted to advance it. “Dillon played great defense for us all year,” New Trier Green senior captain and defenseman Stephan Bazianos says. “He was our enforcer, and he got faster, more mobile in the offseason, like we all did. Threw his body around. Dillon’s play was a necessity, a big reason we won the state title. In the state championship game, a kid went right at Dillon, full speed, hoping to put a big hit on him. Dillon,
though, delivered the big hit and sat that kid down. “That’s my favorite Dillon moment on the ice.” Bob Melton has coached NT Green for 19 years, 11 of them state championship seasons. Most of his decorated squads ended up at the top of the boys hockey world in Illinois without the benefit of a tough, fearless, knock-you-to-tomorrow hitter on defense. A menacing defenseman in hockey is a cross between a ferocious linebacker in football and a thick shot blocker in basketball, all of them gladly serving as disruptive and game-changing forces. Munson, selected to represent Team Il-
linois at America’s Showcase in Pittsburgh later this month, embraced those roles for NT Green in 2015-16. Forwards and centers on other teams braced themselves in the vicinity of Munson in 2015-16. “Historically, we haven’t had big, physical defensemen,” Melton says. “Dillon had a physical presence, probably his greatest attribute. He was big for us, a big hitter. We asked Dillon and Stephan to shut down the other team’s top line, and they did that often for us. The offensive part of Dillon’s game [five goals, 16 assists] … that improved. That helped us, too. His hands and his shot
improved. His shot is a heavy one, like [Chicago Blackhawks defenseman] Brent Seabrook’s. Dillon’s heavy shot from the point aided our power play.” Munson’s house became Munson Inn after the state championship game on March 18. Green’s players, post-dog pile at UC, piled into their team bus and headed to Wilmette. They entered the Munson abode between 10:30-11 p.m., famished. They inhaled pasta and salads and relived most of the delicious moments from the previous three hours. Eight of the players, including Munson, joined their mothers for a spring break trip to the Bahamas a couple of days later. “It was fun, relaxing,” Munson says of the vacation. “On our second day we found a great spot for a cheeseburger at a place called the Tiki Hut. We went snorkeling. Snorkeling is the coolest thing.” Cooler than celebrating a state championship on the home ice of the Chicago Blackhawks? Not quite. Munson will attend Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, intending to major in business, with a possible minor in … hockey. That “minor” part is partially true. Miami does not offer an academic program for puck heads. Miami does have a hockey club. It’s a good one. It won 26 of its first 33 games in 2015-16. Munson plans to show up — stick in hands, toughness in tow, state championship timber ingrained — for the club’s tryout sessions. Lenny Munson won’t be there for those. Or maybe he will be. He will have some time on his goaltender’s hands. That state championship game last month was his last as a New Trier Green assistant coach. What a way to exit. What a way to cap a 14-year run. But wait. Tay Munson has one more season of New Trier hockey. “My dad, I have a feeling,” Dillon says, “will find his way to a spot behind a bench for one or two games next season.”

Devin still revvin’ Despite two major knee surgeries, Loyola Academy’s Burns continues to produce in a big way
A
girls soccer match between Loyola Academy and visiting Trinity High School ends in Wilmette on a windy, chilly day in March. All but one of the Loyola players gather and move away from their bench. The Rambler left behind sits on the ground near the bench, a big bag of ice resting on each knee. The Rambler is shoeless. It is Devin Burns. The senior forward does not look sad. She does not look upset. Her face is … blank. Plopping ice on knees is now a normal part of Burns’ routine after matches, after games. You could almost consider the packs regular pieces of her soccer wardrobe now. Cold, dripping accessories. Better that than a pair of annoying, cumbersome, squeaky knee braces, right? “Wearing a brace was terrible,” Burns says. A brace-free Burns — survivor of two ACL knee surgeries, one on each knee, in a cruel span of 16 months — had scored two goals and delivered an assist in LA’s 7-0 defeat of Trinity on March 17. The goals upped her prep career total to 59 in 44 matches. Fifty-nine in 44. Or 1.34 goals per match. The second surgery wiped out her entire junior season. “Persistence,” Ramblers soccer coach Craig Snower says, capturing Burns’ essence, in one word, throughout a rollercoaster stretch of health, rehab, health, rehab, health. “She battled back twice, and she’s still a major Division I [University of Iowa] recruit. She still has speed, moves. Some forwards out there have speed only. Devin, she has three or four things in her arsenal, effective things. Her game is college-ready.” A native of Green Oaks and a graduate of the School of St. Mary in Lake Forest, Burns got off to a sizzling start at Loyola, amassing a program-record 35 goals for a 23-3-1 team in her freshman season. She notched four hat tricks in that 2013 season. She could have opened a millinery shop with that kind of production. She chose instead to continue life as a student-athlete at LA and as a star for her FC United Select club teams. Her sophomore season was part rehab, part net jostling. Burns needed only 15 matches to tally 21 goals, another one-plus-goalper-match rate. In November of

her junior year, at a national club tournament, she suffered her second ACL tear. She went under the knife on the day before Thanksgiving. She used an entirely different kind of knife to cut her turkey on the next day. Anesthesia and tryptophan, back-to-back. “Devin never gave up [after the surgeries],” Loyola senior defender Alex Yasko, another School of St. Mary product, says of her fellow co-captain. “She worked really hard with her physical therapist [Dr. Jay Turcuato, in Glenview], came back quickly. She isn’t hesitant when she plays. She’s playing like she did before the injuries, still capable of being unstoppable.” Burns, a Lake Forest Soccer Association booter during her U-7 through U-12 years, appreciates everything she can do on soccer pitches these days, even the ability to run again. Her surgeon told Burns, “You can’t take long walks for a while,” after each surgery. Post-op exercises in a rehab room must have felt like crawls to her. She did what she was told to do. The good patient was patient. She regained strength in her right knee and then had to repeat the process to make her left knee right again a little more than a year later. Her signature cuts in matches — Snower calls them “chop cuts” — returned. Defenders rarely know how to counter the cuts. Her cuts often follow a turn she executes deftly and quickly to free herself, to smoothly extricate her 5-foot-5 frame, from a defender. Or two. Or three. Goalkeepers still must whisper two syllables to themselves when they see a soccer ball at the feet of a rushing Burns, finisher extraordinaire: Uh. Oh. Burns has two sisters, Corey and Riley. Corey is a redshirt junior soccer player at the University of Iowa, Devin’s destination. Riley is a sophomore defender on Loyola Academy’s varsity soccer team, already a verbal commit to the University of Iowa. Their brother, Johnny, is a freshman lacrosse player at the University of Iowa. Is the Burns house in Green Oaks dubbed “The Hawkeyes Nest”? Children in the Burns family bleed Iowa black and gold. They must buy black-and-gold Band-Aids.
varsity soccer seasons remaining in her promising career. The shelf life of “Burns” in local sports headlines is nearing a freeze-dried-food level. “Riley and I went against Corey on The Hill,” Devin says. “We worked on things up there. Corey gives me good advice. She pushes me and encourages me. She pushes me to become a better player.” Devin Burns scored her 60th career goal in LA’s 2-0 defeat of visiting St. Charles North on March 19. Snower’s crew tied visiting Evanston 0-0 on March 22. LA, minus Burns (rest day), blasted host Resurrection 7-0 and improved to 4-0-1 on March 23. Senior forward KK Phelan netted three goals, and sophomore forward Stephanie Ramsay struck for two in the Resurrection match. Burns sat. Ramblers rose to the occasion, emphatically. Yasko and freshman midfielder Sophie Doerr scored the other goals in Chicago. The nursing field intrigues Burns. One of her aunts and one of her cousins are nurses. The cousin, back in Burns’ freshman year, told Burns a story about a moment on the job. The story moved Burns. The story riveted Burns. “It seems like a great profession,” Burns says. “I don’t remember all of the details my cousin said on that day. But I do remember thinking, ‘Wow,’ as she spoke about being a nurse.” Others get to think the same thing, whenever they’re fortunate enough to watch Burns play soccer.

The three sisters got together a couple of times last summer and kicked the ball around on The Hill, a part of the Munz Campus in Glenview. Three talents, one ball,

later Devin and another FC United Select squad placed third at nationals. Yoga and workout devotee Riley, Snower says, is a complete player, two-plus LA
Notable: Loyola Academy’s girls soccer team outscored its first five opponents 19-0 this spring. Ramblers senior forward KK Phelan recorded a hat trick in LA’s 7-0 rout of visiting Trinity on March 17. Sophomore forward Stephanie Ramsay finished with a goal and two assists, and junior forward Anna Perona assisted on the last goal of each half, Phelan the beneficiary of each pass. … Alex Yasko and Devin Burns tallied the goals in Loyola’s 2-0 win over visiting St. Charles North on March 19. The assists came from junior midfielder Bella Broccolo and senior midfielder Natalie Joyce. … LA’s goalkeepers this year are senior Caroline Karlson and sophomore Maggie Avery (eight saves vs. St. Charles North).

love to play,” says Morse-Karzen, once ranked 100th in the world in doubles on the professional tour (with one of his former University of Michigan teammates, Evanston native Eric Friedler) and in his 38th year of coaching (in a variety of posts) Trevians at NTHS. “I want them to have fun while learning. What I like is, during a lesson or a practice, a player who tries something new, say a topspin backhand, and then tells me, ‘So that’s how it’s supposed to feel!’” Most varsity tennis coaches conduct tryouts for dozens of hopefuls and keep 12. Morse-Karzen keeps 24 players, sometimes 25, because talent should be rewarded and because the bottom half of his squad each season would compete well if it were to face the top half of other varsity teams. NT’s JV, sophomore and freshman tennis teams also usually number 25. “I’m a big proponent of high school tennis,” Morse-Karzen, now teaching and coaching the children of some of his former Trevians, says. “It’s a big deal to make a tennis team at New Trier. It’s a bigger deal to not make a tennis team. Kids in this area, so many of them, are ranked and ready for a high level of play when they arrive as freshmen, deserving of the opportunity. We have what we call ‘The Trevian Triangle’, our program’s philosophy. One, we’re good people, honest and fair and respectful. Two, we work hard; the effort has to be there in practices and in matches. And three, we play to win. “I like to win. I also like to focus
on the process … on the things you can do to make yourself a better player. When I’m out there, hitting and competing, I like to concentrate on watching the ball and moving my feet, simple things, and then seeing what happens.” What happened on a Friday morning in August 1982: Jerry and Claudia got married in a chapel on Northwestern University’s campus.
