lhe North Shore District 112 Board of Education has begun reorganizing due to the recent resignations of Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy, board President Michael Cohn, and member Jacqueline Denham. Adam Kornblatt will serve the remainder of Cohn’s two-year term, and Lauren Klayman will complete Denham’s term that expires in April 2017. Current Board President Samantha Stolberg and Karla Livney will not run for re-election in April; Jane Solmor-Mordini is the only incumbent in a race with eight other candidates vying to fill four board positions. DailyNorthShore.com asked the candidates and incumbent about their qualifications.

he Winnetka Children’s Hour, a North Shore tradition that goes back over 80 years, is rehearsing for its original musical production Does America Have Talent? to be performed Feb. 2-4 at the Winnetka Community House. While the kids are the stars of this musical — a spoof on reality television shows such as American Idol and Dancing With The Stars — it takes a family to actually produce the show. “It is a great experience for parents as well. Everybody becomes one great family,” Anne Loucks, president of the Children’s Hour board, told DailyNorthShore.com. The Winnetka Children’s Hour was founded in 1932 by parents looking for a way to keep children busy by providing weekend entertainment. “They wanted the kids to be occupied in a positive manner,” Loucks explained. Children could visit the Community House throughout the school year and watch live theatre, music and entertainers, as well as perform in their own musical production. Continued on PG 10

I think that’s really interesting.” GRAMMY Camp—Jazz Session is a whirlwind 10 days. Shortly after arriving, the young musicians record an album, GRAMMY Jazz 25, at Capital Studios in Hollywood. They’ll play shows at events and venues all over Los Angeles throughout GRAMMY week before attending the award ceremony and performing at the after-party. Though this may be Findling’s biggest show so far, it’s certainly not his first time on stage. When he was 8 years old, he formed a rock band with his older brother Kurt, who plays drums.

Their band, High Street, was forced to go on hiatus due to all of Erik’s band mates, who were older than him, heading off to different colleges. That’s when he discovered the complex allure of jazz music. Although a self proclaimed “jazz snob,” Findling isn’t limiting himself when it comes to the music he’s willing to play. “I think you have to be diverse these days and try to know many styles of music,” Findling says. “No matter whether it’s jazz, classical, rock, whatever; if you just play one thing, you may not get a whole lot of gigs. I don’t want to limit myself. I just want to be a guitar player.” Do you know a teen doing outstanding work in the fields of charity, science, arts, business, or education?

NEWS SCHOOL BOARD Cont. from PG 1 I have a unique professional background and skill-set for providing thoughtful, data-driven oversight to our school system. I have brought these skills to my role on the Reconfiguration 2.0 committee, where I have researched our educational needs and facilities limitations. However, I also know that the most important data point is what people are willing to support. As a board member, I will work to ensure that the Reconfiguration 2.0 Committee can complete its work for a March 2018 referendum. While reconfiguration does present an opportunity to save money, our focus should be on delivering a world-class education to the students in this community. Changes to our building configuration are needed in order to balance class sizes and create space for additional programming, including Full Day Kindergarten. Julie Campbell: I’m an attorney with over 15 years of experience in general practice law and five years as a graduate professor teaching communications, medical law and ethics. Exceptional communication skills, as well as expertise in mediation, negotiation, and health insurance law, will make me a valuable asset in contract negotiations. Moreover, utilizing my background in ethics, I can help forge a better working relationship between the board, the TALENT Continued from PG 1 Over the years, as families became increasingly busy, the group dropped the weekend events but kept the musical production. “There is a lot of great history but the underlying idea of creating a musical production has remained for over 80 years,” Loucks said. About 34 children ages four to 14 from all over the North Shore participate in Children’s Hour, with 20 parents on the board who produce the show. The musical production is original — written by a team of three parents on the board — and is typically inspired by something from popular culture. The show comprises 14 to 15 musical and dance numbers, which include original choreography and are accompanied by popular songs where the lyrics have been changed. Gwen Oelerich, who has been volunteering on the writing committee for 11 years, describes the process as a collaborative effort. In the spring, the committee meets with children and parents to come up with

open-minded and inclusive style of problem solving. I believe that finding principled compromises will help this board tackle the complicated work ahead of it. I currently chair the HPHS Advisory Group and serve as cochair of the District 112 Reconfiguration 2.0 Finance Committee, where I created the 2.0 financial model for District 112. The model allowed the group to evaluate options for reconfiguration and has proved a valuable tool for the entire community. While it is very important financially to address these challenges expeditiously, we need to keep this problem in perspective.
Board will be in a position to vote on a referendum to put on the ballot. Once the long-term plan has been finalized, the BOE will be able to implement a transition plan starting in the fall of 2018 closing some, if not all, of the schools that would not be part of the long-term plan. It is vital that a board be put in place that can provide responsible leadership to solve the problems facing the district in a way that the community can accept.

ideas for the new show. “What’s nice about this show and unique to Children’s Hour is we create roles specifically for the kids in it,” Oelreich said. The parents consider the children’s unique strengths and personalities and design the show around those traits. “It’s very personal and fun,” she said. The ending of every show holds a message for the children. “There is always a spin on being a good citizen,” Loucks explained. This year, the message will be about an individual being his or her authentic self. All proceeds from the musical are given to children in other communities who lack exposure to the performing arts. At a rehearsal on January 10, the kids were clearly feeling happy to be there. Children were twirling color ribbons in unison, while others were acting out their roles as spoofs of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian or Taylor Swift. All of the parent volunteers emphasized the family experience of the production. “The kids get to know each other in ways they
wouldn’t normally,” Loucks said. The Children’s Hour is very low key, every child gets a part and there are no auditions. “If you family is a part of it then everybody gets to be in it,” Loucks said. For some participants, Children’s Hour is the only time they ever do theatre. “Giving them that experience is so fantastic,” Oelreich said. “This is it for some kids and this is where they shine,” she added. While the children have an opportunity to be in the spotlight, parents have the opportunity to forge new friendships and learn the mechanics of putting on a musical production. While a professional director, choreographer and musical director are hired, parents do everything else. “It is very organic,” Rachel Kozina explained, one of the producers of the show. And for the kids, some of whom have participated in Children’s Hour since they were four years old, the show becomes an extension of their own families. “I love how easily we become a family and we are just so
comfortable with each other,” said Savanna Smith, an 8th grader who is in the cast. Does America Have Talent? will be performed on Feb. 2 at 6 p.m.,
Lisa Hirsh: As a lifelong resident, I am truly passionate about the future of education in Highland Park. I currently have two children in District 112. My advanced degree in communications coupled with my strong ties to the entire community, uniquely qualifies me for the position of board member. In addition, I am the co-owner of a successful medical billing service. I decided to run for school board to become actively involved in respectful decision making while listening to the will of all of my constituents. My focus as a board member will be to preserve the integrity and stability of Highland Park schools with thoughtful and balanced reconfiguration options. The rescission of BDR3 does not waste $5 million a year, in actuality it is an investment. This decision enables the Reconfiguration 2.0 committee, working with our entire community, to develop a financially sensible solution which will work to the benefit of all.
district must continue working toward a consolidation that makes more economical use of our buildings and a referendum to fund upgrades both to facilities and education. Jane Solmor-Mordini — Incumbent: I have served on the NSSD 112 board for the past eight years and was endorsed by the District Caucus for both terms. While seeking my third term at this year’s caucus, BDR3 was set for implementation and I was the only incumbent and candidate supporting the effort to control deficit spending to improve the district’s long-term sustainability. I feel a tremendous responsibility to this community to maintain some consistency, continuity and robust experience to contribute to ongoing board, cabinet, and 2.0 initiatives. I will work to keep the process moving forward and avoid duplicating prior effort while safe guarding our resources.
than necessary; however, BDR3 went too far. The NSSD 112 financial position is not so dire that we have to take immediate and drastic action. I was working with Chicago Public Schools before they closed 50 schools in 2013. This was an unprecedented number for any city, and this represented less than 10 percent of the total schools. Neighborhood schools should only be closed when all other options have been exhausted.
Steven Welhouse: Being a school board member is an ideal role for someone having children in the district and it’s a great way to serve my community. As a litigation attorney involved with construction and real estate issues, I have ample experience vigorously representing clients and engaging in difficult negotiations. As a board member, I will listen to the community and vigorously represent its interests as the reconfiguration process proceeds. I did not and do not agree with Brent Ross: As a management the closure of four schools under consultant for the last 14 years, I BDR3 and was pleased to see that help stakeholder groups navigate the current board voted not to through times of great change.

NORTH SHORE FOODIE
It’s not just what’s in the Sauce … Lake Forest pizzeria provides more than pie BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
A
fter a career where he climbed near the top of the food service industry’s corporate ladder, Craig Grimes of Lake Forest spent a year as a serious student of pizza. Once his education was complete, Grimes opened Sauced Pizza in October offering home delivery and carry-out orders of pizza and more in Lake Forest. Customers get a variety of choices when it comes to crust, sauce and ingredients. Before an order is complete, the customer selects from a pair of crusts, five sauces, a minimum of 22 toppings ranging from a basic pepperoni to pineapple or jalapenos and four sizes, according to Grimes. Raised in the St. Louis area, Grimes had an early exposure to the food service industry. Owning his own business was always a dream. He got a lot of on-theground as well as formal education on the way to opening Sauced Pizza. “Restaurants are a way of life in St. Louis,” said Grimes. “I started cooking at a very young age and grew up working in restaurants. I bused tables, waited
tables, bartended and managed.” More than 20 years ago, Grimes joined the Levy organization and moved to the Chicago area. He landed in Lake Forest 10 years ago and was a regional vice president in charge of the restaurant division. When he joined the company it grossed $30 million annually. When he left its’ sales were $1.5 billion. While working for Levy, Grimes was asked to join the board of directors of Nature Foods, a vegan restaurant chain. When the company was in need of strong leadership, he was asked to become its CEO. He took the job. Grimes Opens Own Business After a few years with Nature Foods, Grimes decided it was time to open his own business. He had to decide what kind and make sure he knew everything there was to know about it before taking the plunge. Pizza was a natural choice. “Pizza is always what comes up when it’s family meal time,” said Grimes. It was time for his pizza schooling. Returning to his St. Louis restaurant roots, Grimes got in touch with a friend who owns Imos Pizza there, spending much of his time working most of the jobs that need to be done in a pizzeria. It has 92 locations mostly in Missouri. Many of them are franchises. After immersing himself in Imos’ way of doing things, he
the cheese mix for the pizzas, he said he conducted focus groups to refine the decision. Sauced Pizza uses a five-cheese mix of Romano, Parmesan, Asiago, Mozzarella and Provolone. He said it is a blend of aged and fresh. Menu choices are not limited to pizza. Customers can also order pasta, wings, salads, desserts and beverages. For employees of Sauced Pizza, Grimes said he offers another opportunity.

You needed both; you’re thankful for both. It’s a moment — a precious one — you had taken for granted for too many years before today. “Precious” was the word you saved to describe a newborn.
It’s now a good word to use to describe every minute of every day. A week later, you attend a funeral that feels nothing like a funeral. Yes, you hear sniffles to your left and to your right, and your eyes well up a couple of times. But the service turns into a true celebration of a remarkable life.

LOVE & MARRIAGE
Message from ‘The Bottle’: Mix it up on Valentine’s Day And though it’s still January, I’ve invested about $50 in our family’s Love-fest. Valentine’s Day is traditionally a celebration of courtly love, but on Feb. 14 our children, niece and most special friends will all be reminded of how much my family loves them. My outlay should surprise no one. The National Retail Federation reported in 2016 that more than half of consumers celebrate Valentine’s Day, spending an average of $146.84 on flowers, jewelry, candy, apparel and more. Total spending topped $19 billion. The same survey found that 91 percent of consumers buy something for their significant other or spouse, at an average cost of $90. But that’s not a figure that fits every budget.

Valentine’s Day. She’s got a million ideas to share with her customers at The Bottle Shop. “Being at home can be very romantic, but for each couple that means something different and the Valentine’s Day stereotypes don’t work,” said Lafontant, who has helped customers find their favorite wines and beers for 11 years. “Mix it up. Don’t do ‘typical’. Do it different. “I’m a big fan of playing games so that (on a date night) you continue to interact while you’re playing backgammon or cards. That’s why for a long time I had a putting green and ping pong table in the store. Other people like to make dinner together or just set the table together beautifully. Maybe you want to watch a movie that you saw together when you had just started dating, and I know people who like to read aloud to each other.” For many couples, a great night at home includes a great meal and drink. (With a very few
exceptions, “Most every culture in every country in the world is drinking some kind of fermented beverage,” Lafontant assured me.) Lafontant can recommend a wine to match your menu, or food to pair with the beverages you like. “The first question is, ‘How much do you want to spend?’ ” she said. “My bottles start at $10 and go up, so we can start the conversation wherever you are comfortable. I really like my $10 selections. “If for Valentine’s Day you want to do a bottle of sparkling wine for $10, I can add two flutes for $1 each. And then for a really amazing treat, we’ve got some handmade candy from a local resident for another $10. That’s a special night for under $25. “If you’re beer drinkers, let’s put together a 12-pack and you can go home and do a flight together of all the beers by one company or all different IPAs or stouts. I think that is so much fun to do.”

states last summer. Breitstein inspired first-graders at the Jewish Community Center “Z” Frank Apachi Day Camp in Northbrook, while Spellberg guided campers in Georgia. Spellberg was a happy camper at the same nine-week camp for several years. “It’s a great camp, so much fun,” Spellberg said in June. “You get to boat there, play sports, and there’s a religious aspect to it. I found my Jewish identity there.” Spellberg discovered something else at the camp in The Peach State: friends for life. Can you think of a camp benefit with more value than that? “Kids who attend summer camps have two sets of best friends: their best friends at school and their best friends at summer camp,” Hardin told The North Shore Weekend in 2015. “If things get tough during the
school year, they know they’ll always have their summer-camp best friends.” Removed from the fear of failing in familiar surroundings at school, a youngster often finds the courage to enter an uncomfortable zone at a summer camp — while gripping a climbing station’s rope, for example, or while tacking a sailboat for the first time — and returns home with more confidence. “Our camps are designed to encourage campers to try new things, to take safe risks,” Hardin said. “If the campers don’t succeed, there’s a support system of counselors and other campers for them. “What I’ve noticed in the past 10 years, and what I find exciting, is how often kids are realizing they can have the time of their lives when they’re nowhere near their cell phones.”

LICENSE TO THRILL Lake Forest Academy’s high-flying Harris puts on floor shows in front of home fans BY KEVIN REITERMAN , SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
F
orgive Chris Harris for making Glore Memorial Gymnasium his very own personal paradise. He can’t help himself. For Harris, the cozy gym on the campus of Lake Forest Academy is a glorious place. It’s hard to tear him away from it. That’s where he does much of his school homework. That’s where he hones his basketball skills. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard basically is on a first-name basis with the building’s rafters. He spends enough time up there. This Caxy with the mile-high ceiling is not afraid of heights. Rising up and dunking a basketball is the stupendous part of his game. Looking for a basketball game with a carnival atmosphere? Head to good ol’ Glore. Harris will come up with enough high jinks to keep you entertained. The Antioch native, a former player at Loyola Academy, should be called ComEd. He brings electricity. He makes boisterous highvoltage plays. He lights the place up without power lines. But here’s the most shocking part: No one is knocking down the front door at Glore Memorial to sign him on the dotted line of a Division I scholarship. There’s not a lot of hype surrounding Chris Harris. Which is about as mind-boggling as his mind-blowing alleyoop dunks. Have college recruiters dropped the ball on the LFA standout? “Someone,” says LFA head coach Matt Vaughn, “is going to get a steal. “I don’t understand it. I don’t know what’s going on,” the veteran coach adds. “He needs to be getting looks from mid-majors at the very least. I’ve sent out a bunch of film. I’ve tried to generate interest.” Paul Harris, veteran head coach at Highland Park High School, thinks the kid with his same last name has spellbinding talent. “If I were a college coach, I’d be paying attention to him,” says the HP coach. “He can shoot the ball. And he can jump out of the gym.” Harris, the player, led all scorers in LFA’s 55-37 win over visiting
matter where he sets up on the court. He eventually finds a way to do something jaw-dropping. “I love the fact that Coach gives us a lot of leeway on the court,” says Harris, who has a big brother, Charles, who is averaging 10.9 points per game at Central Methodist, and a little sister, Courtney, a freshman starter on the LFA girls varsity team. “Our practices are up-tempo. And we play our games the same way. We like to play fast. We like to get to the rim. “Playing that way gets the crowd into it,” he adds. “It makes things more entertaining.” Harris certainly pulled out his “Let Me Entertain You” card at the start of the second half against HP. First, he revved up the home crowd with a perfectly executed alley-oop Phi Slama Jama Rama on a feed from Grumhaus. “We’ve developed a pretty good connection on those [alley-oops]. We practice them all the time,” says Grumhaus, who will play next season at Grinnell College. “In a game, we just have to make eye contact.” Five minutes later, Harris slammed down an alley-oop pass from Juric. “All that you have to do is get the ball up there,” says Juric. “And if you make a bad pass, you’re still okay. He’ll go get it.” Harris capped his eight-point third quarter with a steal and raceGRAND SLAM: Chris Harris completes a dunk during Lake Forest Academy’s recent win over Highland to-the-basket two-handed dunk.

was good but still coming into his own. And now? He’s the meal ticket. He’s found consistency. “We ask a lot from him. And he does a lot,” says Vaughn. “He keeps everyone engaged. He’s aggressive on defense. And on offense, we can put him anywhere on the court. He creates his own shot. And breaks down the defense to create shots for his teammates. “He can make a coach look pretty smart,” adds Vaughn, with a genuine smile. Complacency doesn’t seem to be in Harris’ vocabulary. His game keeps evolving. He keeps trying to get better. “Shooting from the outside had been the big knock on me,” shares Harris. “I wasn’t a consistent shooter. But I’ve worked hard on trying to rectify that. My threeball has never been as efficient as it is now.” The extra work has paid off. He made five threes in a win over Elk Grove earlier this season. With his propensity to dazzle and take over a game, you might think that Harris is a boorish prima donna. That he just might be a little full of himself. But in reality, he’s prima without the donna. Humility is one of Harris’ more favorable traits. “The thing about Chris is that he’s not only super-talented; he’s also very unselfish,” says Grumhaus. Part of that can be traced to good parenting. His dad, Charles, a former football player at Western Illinois University, and his mom, Sharmella, a former basketball player at the University of Illinois, have kept him balanced and wellgrounded. “God has truly blessed me with great parents,” says Harris. “My parents have always told me to be thankful for what I have.” Thus, Harris is taking the high road when the discussion turns to college hoops. “My dream is to play Division I basketball,” admits Harris. “I’m putting the work in for that. “But, if that’s not what God has for me, I won’t complain,” he adds.

FLURRY OF ACTION Extended forecast for Weathers’ fast-moving style looking ominous for his wrestling foes BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
S
pectator warning: Just watching Steven Weathers wrestle might wear you out. Spectate at your own risk. Get ready for six minutes of wildly entertaining, pulsating action. Mercy. The Highland Park High School senior wrestles at a frenetic pace. Energy unleashed. “He’s strong. He’s fast. He’s explosive,” says teammate DJ Penick. And … he’s really good. No one saw this coming. Not really. Steven Weathers has done more than just burst onto the scene. He’s obliterated it. He’s taken it by storm. “He’s made a quantum leap,” says Highland Park head coach Chris Riley. And what’s Riley’s theory behind Weathers’ transformation? “He’s done what is required to be successful,” Riley says. “He’s put in his time. He’s brought his lunch pail. He’s gone the extra mile. He works on getting better every day. “He has worked for everything he’s gotten this year,” the HP coach adds. “He truly has.” And this helps. “Steven is physically put together,” said Riley. His body is rock solid. His well-defined muscles pop out. Weathers’ physicality was evident at the Central Suburban League Tournament on Jan. 21 at Maine South. He was the meet’s ace performer at 152 pounds, chalking up three more victories to raise his record to 28-1. You might say that Weathers has a firm grasp on the double leg takedown. It’s his go-to move. He turned it into an art form during his 17-7 win over Maine South’s Eugene Lee in the championship bout. “The more points I score, the better,” says Weathers, who gave up seven escape points in that title match. “I don’t mind giving up points as long as I can get them right back. “That kid [Lee] had a good upper body,” he adds. “I made sure that I stayed where I’m good. Where I’m the strongest.” First-place showings have
every day.” But according to Penick, Weathers’ brilliance goes way beyond his wrestling moves. Weathers is a prince of a person. “No one can hate Steven Weathers,” says Penick. “He’s a lovable kid. Always smiling.” “What you have with Steven is a top-notch person. He’s a great teammate. Roots for everybody,” adds Riley. “There’s no downside with Steven Weathers.” Mom and Dad have provided plenty of upside in his life. Several years ago, Steven and Lisa Weathers left Little Rock, Arkansas, and moved to Highwood with a plan. God’s plan. In addition to completing his PhD in Intercultural Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, the elder Steven Weathers planted a church in downtown Highwood. One Fellowship Church currently meets in the Curry Hut Banquet Hall on Sheridan Road. Spoiler alert: There’s another Weathers climbing the wrestling ranks. Johnathan Weathers, an eighth-grader at Northwood, is firmly entrenched in the sport. He qualified to last year’s IESA state meet at 100 pounds and currently works out at Poeta Training Center. “He’s better now than I was at his age,” says Steven Weathers. Notable: Highland Park’s other big story at the CSL Tourney was DJ Penick.

HAVING ONE GOOD TIME Odle playing a major role in Loyola Gold’s success this season BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
B
en Odle and Ryan Trueman attended a party for a friend in a Chicago restaurant late last month. Many of the patrons ended up dancing to Hawaiian music that night. Odle and Trueman — Loyola Academy seniors and LA Gold hockey teammates — and others got chosen to dance along with the professional entertainers at the establishment. All were encouraged to move to the beat similarly, à la line dancing to country-and-western music. All but one did so. “Ben,” Trueman recalls, “wasn’t dancing like the others were. He was doing his own thing. It was pretty funny, and it got the audience going.” It was all by design. Odle, a defenseman and third-year Gold player, figured it wouldn’t hurt if he displayed a few of his moves on the floor and it appeared he was in his own world. And it just might draw some good-natured laughter from those who know the Winnetkan. “I spiced it up,” says Odle, flashing a playful smile. Odle also provides plenty of flavor on ice rinks — at both ends. The offensive-minded defenseman already has two goals and five assists in Scholastic Hockey League action, a year after finishing his junior season “with around seven points,” the 6-foot-2, 185pound Odle says. “I was a forward when I played Squirt hockey. I miss the position, but I’m getting a lot of opportunities to take shots and get involved on offense.” In the first three minutes of Gold’s 2-0 defeat of host Stevenson on Jan. 11, Odle ripped two lengthy shots on goal at Twin Rinks Ice Pavilion in Buffalo Grove. Later in the first period, another shot on goal from the captain — struck from the right point — rebounded toward the stick of LA forward Cooper Prawdzik, who stuffed it past the Stevenson goaltender. The win improved LA’s record to 18-3. “Big, strong kid, and he plays his role well,” Gold coach DJ LaVarre says of Odle, who is an inch taller and about 10 pounds

heavier than he was last winter, when LA Gold reached a state semifinal. “Active at both ends. He plays physical hockey when needed, and he’s better physically, which means he looks quicker on the ice. It’s noticeable, how much stronger he is as a skater.” The son of a golfer and tennisplaying father (Kevin), Odle grew up as a Detroit Red Wings fan in Birmingham, Michigan. His favorite all-time D-man is former Red Wings superstar Niklas Lidstrom, a seven-time Norris Trophy winner. These days, Odle is a big fan of Detroit center Dylan Larkin. “I like the way he carries himself,” Odle says. “Larkin is confident but not cocky. Grew up in Michigan, you know, and he went to the University of Michigan. Only 20 years old. He’s mature for a 20-year-old. I watched Detroit play the Black-
hawks ( Jan. 10, at United Center, where Chicago edged Detroit 4-3 in overtime). Odle tried tennis and golf during his Michigan days. Golf is still appealing to him — his personal-best round is a 77. Like most hockey/golf enthusiasts, Odle’s primary strength on the links is driving. A slap shot and a tee shot are essentially sports cousins. Though he had a strong serve in tennis, he lost interest in the sport. As a freshman at Loyola Academy, Odle competed as a golfer in the fall, as a hockey player in the winter and as a lacrosse player in the spring. But hockey would become his only prep sport after he made LA’s Gold squad as a sophomore, and it will be the club sport he plays at Miami (Ohio) University, where former Gold standout Danny O’Grady (LA, ’16) attends and plays hockey.
“His physical play is what impresses me,” says Trueman, who notched his second shutout of the 2016-17 season in that defeat of Stevenson earlier this month. “Big body. And for a defenseman, he’s very good offensively. “We played on a Squirt team together and then on a Bantam team. He was a good player on those teams, and he’s really good now. He’s been my best friend since the eighth grade. Easy-going guy. Loves to joke around. Everybody in his family loves to joke around, which is awesome.” Odle has taken his captaincy seriously, a responsibility he shares with defenseman Parker Ray. (Forwards Danny Sullivan and Justin Ciesla are serving as Gold’s assistant captains). It was an honor Odle had hoped for on this year’s sophomore-heavy club this year, plus it suits him. Odle owns oodles of captain qualities: talent, toughness, savvy
and leadership, to name a gloveful. “Good kid, solid kid, with a good personality,” LaVarre says. “With me, when Ben is talking with me, he’s all in. Every time we talk, it’s always about what’s best for the team. Ben is selfless.” Back to Ben, the dancer. When he was an eighth-grader at Sacred Heart School in Winnetka, he and classmates joined eighth-graders from Faith, Hope and Charity School in Winnetka on Fridays to learn how to ballroom dance. One of the Faith, Hope and Charity School students was a future Gold goalie named Ryan Trueman. “The guys wore ties and blazers,” Trueman recalls. “We learned the Box Step. Ben was a good dancer then. He’s still a good dancer. Put that in the article, that Ben is a good dancer.” It’s in. “Yes, that was the year we learned how to dance properly,”
Odle says. “But I spiced it up then, too.” Notable: LA Gold forward Danny Stevens scored the second goal of Gold’s 2-0 defeat of host Stevenson at Twin Rinks Ice Pavilion in Buffalo Grove on Jan. 11. And he did it in dramatic fashion, falling backward as he executed the shot late in the first period. The assists on the goal came from Kyle Rock and Justin Ciesla. “Gritty game,” LA coach DJ LaVarre said. … LA played five games in Ontario, Canada, during the winter break, all of which were highly competitive. Each game was decided by one goal, LaVarre noted before the game against Stevenson on Jan. 11. “Now we’re back in the States. Now it’s time to push.” … Loyola Gold won three games in four days last week to improve to 21-3. It beat York 3-0 on Jan. 19, before sweeping Glenbrook North 5-3 and 5-4 in overtime on Jan. 21-22.

STRIKING THE RIGHT NOTE
Trumpet-playing Tangen finishes CSL Tourney in triumphant fashion BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
J
ack Tangen missed a wrestling meet earlier this winter. His coach at New Trier, Marc Tadelman, wasn’t exactly thrilled about the 126-pound junior’s absence — until he went online upon learning of Tangen’s whereabouts that day. Tangen plays the trumpet. Tangen honored a commitment to music on a day when his teammates grappled. “I watched a video of Jack performing,” Tadelman said at the Central Suburban League Tournament at Maine South on Jan. 21. “Then I thought, ‘OK, he’s good, very good.’ “Jack,” the coached added, “can play the trumpet.” Jack Tangen — a member of the jazz band, the concert band and the orchestra at New Trier — ended on quite a high note at the tourney last weekend, pinning Evanston sophomore Dylan Kull at 2:35 in the championship bout at 126 pounds. The two had squared off in a dual meet on Jan. 6, with Tangen emerging victorious via another pin, this one occurring with 30 seconds left in the third period. “You have to keep your motor going when you wrestle,” Tangen said after improving to 30-5 this winter. “That’s what my dad [Phil] tells me. Never stop working when you’re out there.” Phil Tangen was a high school state champion wrestler [112 pounds] in Minnesota before wrestling for a couple of seasons at Minnesota State University in Mankato, his son noted before receiving his CSL medal in Park Ridge. “My dad got me interested in the sport, and now my main goal is to wrestle for a Division I program,” Tangen said. “I realize that’s going to be hard to do.” Tangen received a first-round bye last weekend and then pinned Highland Park senior Ryan Muslah at 1:48 in a quarterfinal. Next up was Deerfield senior Aaron Brailov, who had entered the weekend with an 18-5 record

and an honorable mention state ranking. Tangen was unranked. But Tangen solved Brailov rather handily, earning a finals berth with a 14-2 major decision. Tangen’s relentless attack mode paved the way to the convincing result. “I’m super proud of him,” Tadelman said. “Jack wrestled quite well today. He was very physical and very aggressive. He’s been working hard all season. “Super nice,” the coach continued. “Good kid, good citizen.” Tangen’s family lived in Huntley before moving to Wilmette when Jack was a sixthgrader. Tangen, at the urging of his father, competed for a wrestling club for several years while
living in the far northwest suburb. Tangen’s wrestling season this winter did not start out auspiciously. He lost a couple of close bouts early, each by one point. After bowing 5-1 to the topseeded wrestler in his bracket at the end of the first day of a two-day tournament in Wisconsin, he won all of his matches on Day 2, swelling his tourney record to 6-1. Tangen collected a third-place medal. The tenor of the trumpeter’s wrestling season changed in The Badger State. For the better. As he and his teammates headed south for home on that weekend, Tangen’s confidence headed due north.
One of his teammates and good friends is senior Austin Miranda, the Trevians’ representative in the 145-pound division at last weekend’s CSL Tournament. All he did was take runner-up honors — as a first-year varsity mat man. You have the right to explain your success, Mr. Miranda. “I thought I’d be really bad on varsity,” Miranda admitted after his 6-4 title-round loss to Niles West senior Neil O’Shaughnessy (28-5). “I didn’t think I’d win two matches all season.” Miranda won two matches in one day last weekend, improving his record to 20-14. He downed Maine East freshman Baltazar Cabrales 10-3 in a bracket quarterfinal before doubling up Niles
North senior David Montes 8-4 in a semifinal. “I’m wrestling my heart out,” said Miranda, who is pinning his hopes on becoming a financial analyst someday. His assessment of Tangen? “Good guy, funny kid,” Miranda said. “He’s like my little brother.” New Trier — the CSL South champion and CSL Tournament runner-up (201.5 points to champ Deerfield’s 310.5 points) — also received championship efforts last weekend from junior Patrick Ryan (138 pounds) and senior Jake Lowell (195). Ryan’s overall record stands at 34-5, and Lowell’s is at 14-3. Trevians freshman Michael Miralles silvered at 106 pounds,
while teammates Jimmy McDermed (220), Nick Elias (132) and Bayne Kiser (152) each finished fourth in their respective weight classes. NT’s other top-six placers: junior Joey Klinger (fifth place, 160 pounds); junior Russell Sanchez (fifth, 170); senior William Gao (sixth, 285); and freshman Matthew McKenna (sixth, 120). Notable: New Trier’s wrestling team has been assigned to vie for Class 3A sectional berths at the Wheeling Regional on Feb. 3-4. Other schools in the field, including the host Wildcats: Glenbrook North, Loyola Academy, Glenbrook South, Buffalo Grove, Hersey, Palatine and Fremd.

Highland Park’s Penick commits to Murray State BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
R
oy Stewart Stadium in Murray, Kentucky will be his new stage. DJ Penick, who has been a show-stopping running back for Highland Park High School for the past two seasons, has verbally committed to play football at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky. “I felt at home on my visit there,” said Penick. “It’s the right fit for me. I see myself playing there.” Penick chose Murray State over Tennessee-Martin and several other schools. The Division I Racers, who compete in the Ohio Valley Conference, will be welcoming in an exciting player in the Penick. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back averaged 10.2 yards per carry during his senior season with the Giants. He finished with 1,718 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. For his efforts, Penick was named to the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association (IHSFCA) Class 7A all-state team. He also was selected as the CSL North Offensive Player of the Year. In addition to carrying the ball, Penick also starred on the defensive side of the ball. Setting up at outside linebacker, he recorded 44 tackles, four-and-a-half sacks, six tackles-for-loss and two forced fumbles. AT COURTSIDE
BOYS HOOPS
New Trier: Area basketball fans know all about Matty G. Glenbrook South senior Matt Giannakopoulos, a three-year varsity player who is certain to play at the next level, has been a name player around these parts for few seasons. But what about that other Matt? New Trier junior Matt Samuelson came up with a lights-out three-point shooting performance in his team’s 61-44 victory over host GBS on Jan. 20. Samuelson came off the bench to score a team-best 17 points. He was 5-for-5 from behind the arc. “He gave us a big pick-me-up tonight,” said New Trier head coach Scott Fricke. “He’s a great shooter.” And right now, Samuelson is hotter than a ball of fire.
in scoring with 22 points. The junior guard also had four rebounds. Senior guard Connor Hanekamp finished the contest with 12 points and four steals. Mead Payne led the team in rebounding (9). Lake Forest Academy: Austin Clamage did the damage. And he did a lot of it. The Lake Forest Academy senior guard hit 11 of 13 three-pointers on his way to a 39-point outburst in his team’s home win over Prairie Ridge 78-46 on Jan. 18. “An incredible performance,” said LFA head coach Matt Vaughn.

In a JV game on Jan. 14 against Niles West, Samuelson fired in eight three-pointers. “We know they have some shooters,” said GBS head coach Ben Widner. But, coming into this game, No. 30 — Samuelson — wasn’t a big concern for the Titans (7-10, 1-5). His name wasn’t circled in red ink on the scouting report. “We didn’t see much of him when we first played them,” said Widner, referring to a 60-52 GBS loss at New Trier on Dec. 2. “And there wasn’t a lot of film on him either. “But he sure shot the heck out of the ball tonight,” the Titans coach added. Samuelson didn’t even enter the game until midway through the second quarter. But his impact was immediate. In the final 2:07 of the second
quarter, Samuelson hit three three-pointers on the offensive end and made three deflections/ steals on the defensive side. Fricke started him in the second half, and Samuelson responded with two more threepointers for the Trevians (9-7, 3-2). Meanwhile, Giannakopoulos was doing his own thing for the Titans. The 6-foot-5 guard led all scorers in points (20) and rebounds (8). Like Samuelson, Giannakopoulos was dead-eye from long range, going 6-for-8 from threepoint land. He had 11 of his team’s 13 points in the third quarter. “That kid (Giannakopoulos) is an outstanding shooter and player,” said Fricke. “If he shoots it, it’s going in.” Highland Park: Thanks to another big outing by junior guard
Ziv Tal, the Giants evened their record to 9-9 with a 54-50 victory over Von Steuben in a shootout at Whitney Young High School on Jan. 21. Tal went 8-for-15 from the field (3-7 from beyond the arc) and added three rebounds and two steals. The Giants also were helped out by Daniel Michelon (8 points, 2 steals), Luke Zemelis (7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists), Tyler Gussis (6 points, 7 rebounds) and Noah Shutan (6 points, 7 assists). One night earlier, the Giants dropped a double-overtime decision to host Vernon Hills 68-62. Tal finished the contest with 28 points. HP’s other stat leaders were Jack Zeidler (10 points, 6 rebounds), Michelon (9 points, 5 assists) and Kobe Mandell (8 points, 6 rebounds).
Loyola: More of the same. The Ramblers defeated host Wheaton St. Francis 56-29 to win its eighth straight game on Jan. 20. Loyola (13-5, 5-1) was led by Kevin Cunningham (11 points), Matt Sechman (10 points, 5 rebounds), Ramar Evans (10 points), Julian DeGuzman (9 points) and Matt Lynch (9 assists, 4 rebounds). On Jan. 17, Loyola topped visiting Ridgewood 65-55. The stat leaders were Evans (22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals), DeGuzman (20 points, 8 rebounds), Lynch (10 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists) and Cunningham (9 points). Lake Forest High School: The Scouts needed this. Lake Forest snapped a threegame losing streak with a decisive 60-35 victory over visiting Mundelein on Jan. 18. Jed Thomas led LF (6-10, 2-4)
Lake Forest: This was a nice bounce-back game for Lake Forest. The Scouts ended a two-game skid by soundly defeating host Waukegan 70-36 on Jan. 19. Freshman Halle Douglass paced the Scouts (18-6, 7-2) with a double double (14 points, 10 assists). She also had four rebounds and two steals. The other stat leaders were Maeve Summerville (11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks), Grace Tirzmalis (10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals), Ellie Pearson (7 points, 4 rebounds), Olivia Douglass (7 points), Audrey Kaus (6 points), Taylor Conley (4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists), Veronica Giordano (4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals) and Caroline Skinner (4 points, 3 steals). Loyola: Madison Kane she tallied 17 points in Loyola’s 52-32 win over host Niles North on Jan. 17. Two nights later, the Ramblers (16-7) came up just short against host Mother McAuley 34-30. New Trier: The Trevians (13-9, 3-4) used a balanced attack to beat Libertyville 56-43 on Jan. 17. Three players reached double figures: Maggie Murdock (15), Kristie Kalis (14) and Cate Murdock (11). Katherine Gjertsen had nine points, while Jacqueline Vinson added six points on a pair of three-pointers. However, NT was unable to build on that, when the team traveled to Glenbrook South and lost 44-36 on Jan. 20. Gjertsen had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Trevians.

A softer side of John Evans emerges as he thinks out loud about the topics he’ll address in the pages of Evanston Magazine. “The construction boom going on around here … quite stunning,” he says. “I have always marveled at the beauty of Lake Michigan, and I am looking forward to traversing the paths along the shore and making observations. I understand there has been considerable talk lately about local preservation issues.
