THE THRILL OF THE CHASE. THE LAP OF LUXURY. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. As a true Aston Martin, motorsport has played its part in the development of our four door sports car. In May 2010, Aston Martin contested the annual Nürburgring 24 hours in a near-standard roadregistered Rapide. With only minor changes to satisfy racing safety requirements, this car – complete with standard Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission – ran fast and faultlessly throughout, achieving second in class and 34th overall from a starting grid of 200 purpose-built racing cars.

As with all our racing activity, lessons learned in that gruelling event have directly influenced the development of future road car products, including the Rapide S.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

No one is going to close the books on libraries

A

s the digital age marches on tweet by tweet, many soothsayers suggest that those institutions married to the printed word are doomed.

Were that the case, we would be seeing a slew of big buildings brimming with books whose doors should be shuttered.

Yet libraries, to paraphrase William Faulkner, will not merely endure; they will prevail.

While some see technology as the potential death of brick-and-mortar libraries, North Shore librarians are not planning for funeral services to be held anytime soon, according to Kevin Beese, a new writer for The North Shore Weekend. Rather than running away from technological changes, most libraries are embracing them — and helping residents adapt to them. Consider the iPad/iPhone workshop at the Glenview Library, and kids who are learning how to use video and editing equipment at the Winnetka-Northfield Library.

One of the few things you can’t do at a library, regardless of technology, is tailgate. After all, it’s not like there are fans who cheer for the works of Charles Dickens to be checked out more times in a day than those of Mark Twain. To find tailgaters, go to the parking lots of America’s sports stadiums. That’s where you’ll meet those fun-loving souls who emerge mainly in the fall to grill and

drink before football games.

Luke Lincoln launched American Tailgater with his brother, Mike, 15 years ago. Gas-powered blenders that slice through ice, motorized coolers that allow riders to deliver beverages a long bomb away and more have been sold by the firm. Luke has seen college tailgate parties graced with china — $ and NFL ones featuring cheese whiz. Whether the atmosphere is highbrow or more like Raider Nation, Luke says, “No one has a bad time tailgating.” Read about his business in Sunday Breakfast.

Love & Marriage columnist Joanna Brown — who spent a recent Sunday afternoon at rain-drenched chicago Soldier Field — knows about tailgating and other 773 404 2020 social events. She also knows that building a social calendar with one’s spouse can often be challenging when trying to fit in “his friends,” “her friends” and “our friends.” She found three recent weekends out9.13 BSM NSW Fall promo.indd 1 enjoyable but exhausting. A Northfield social worker explained to our columnist, “Your calendar shouldn’t be a stressor … don’t dread the weekends.”

That’s a twist on what we say every issue. And we’ll say it again..

Enjoy the weekend.

Back from battle With wars in the rearview mirror, veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan enjoy the peace at home Dick Young

photography by joel lerner

He remains Young at heart, even after Afghanistan tour ■ by angelika labno Few high school graduates know what they want to pursue for life. But when Dick Young graduated from Lake Forest High School in 2007, he knew he wanted to serve his country.

And he has — through more than 100 patrols in Afghanistan.

He traveled the country extensively as part of a combat advisory group, whose mission was to facilitate the Security Forces Advisory Teams (SFAT), who mentor members of the Afghan military. In 121 patrols, he encountered little combat and limited scrapes, but his forward operating base in the provincial capital Jalalabad was always at risk for indirect fire and rocket attacks.

Although Young is grateful for his safety, the professed adrenaline junkie wishes he could have seen more action.

“It wasn’t the coming-to-manhood that I wanted it to be,” he said. “It wasn’t difficult enough.”

But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t daily stress, he adds. As a leader, he was the thinker on the ground, and he had to allocate combat strength where he saw fit. He wore 64 pounds of equipment, which consisted of a weapon, ammunition, radios, night vision goggles and protective gear. The layers were made more unbearable with the heat, which topped off beyond 120 degrees. The terrain was an added obstacle; Jalalabad Bowl is a big depression, surrounded by mountains and a river.

“They say don’t fight the terrain, adjust to it,” said Young. “We take for granted things like how wide our streets are.”

Young attended Indiana University on a scholarship to simultaneously pursue a history degree and Army ROTC. In addition, he completed air assault school and airborne school. Six weeks after graduating in 2011, he was commissioned to infantry basic officer at Fort Benning, Ga. “I like to think of it as the job chose me, I didn’t choose the job,” said Young.

He completed extensive training at Fort Benning, which included going straight through ranger school.

By March 2012, he was sent to Fort Campbell in Kentucky. He served one day as a staff member before getting a platoon leader position in a rifle company, allowing him to oversee between 17 and 38 men. In November, he was deployed to the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan for the next 275 days as part of Bravo Company 1-327 Infantry Regiment 1st Brigade Combat Team 101st Airborne Division Air Assault.

After coming home recently to Lake Bluff for a short vacation, Young is back in Fort Campbell, aiming to become an executive officer. He is undecided about whether his future lies within the military or the private business sector, but the “education fiend” plans on further schooling.

He says that his experiences abroad have made him more appreciative and patient, as well as more tolerant to stress.

“I was happy to go, and I wanted to stay longer,” Young said. “If given the opportunity, I would go again in a heartbeat.” ■

U.S. Marines Capt. Christian Palmer and Master Sgt. John Roberts get together in front of the American Legion memorial in Highland Park.

photography by joel lerner ■ by bill mclean U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Christian Palmer was standing inside a local Walmart when it hit him.

The Lake Forest native had just returned from a tour of duty (October 2008-October 2009) in Afghanistan, and he couldn’t believe his ears.

“It was so … peaceful,” the 31-year-old Palmer recalled last weekend. “It was such a contrast, having come from Afghanistan — the Wild East. I just stood there in that store, amazed at how quiet the atmosphere was.”

The son of Lake Forest Fourth Ward Alderman Robert Palmer, he also served in Iraq from February 2007-October 2008.

The U.S. withdrew most of its military personnel from Iraq in 2011. The United States’ combat mission in Afghanistan is slated to end in 2014, giving way to its “support” mission. Nearly all veterans of those lengthy wars have returned to homes across the country — including the North Shore.

We spent time last weekend with Captain Palmer, recently retired Marine Gunner Charles E. Major Jr., and U.S. Marine Corps Master Sgt. John Roberts, asking each veteran to look back and look ahead.

U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Christian Palmer Captain Palmer was born in Chicago and attended schools in Lake Forest through eighth grade. He then went to Georgetown Preparatory School in Maryland before earning a degree in philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. He and his wife, Steph, have been married for eight years.

Q: Why the U.S. Marines?

A: “I was in an Officer Candidate School [OCS] classroom in Virginia and a major came in and started apologizing

to all of us. I thought, ‘That’s odd.’ He apologized for the total chaos we would soon have to experience. What happened eventually was intense and, at times, terrifying.

But I remember thinking at OCS, ‘This is great, incredible; I’d rather be a terrible Marine more than anything else in the world.’ I still love the Marine Corps. I’ve been in the reserves for three years now since leaving my fleet, and I’ll stay with it as long as possible.”

Q: What was the enemy like in Iraq?

A: “Mixed, really mixed. Many of the locals were men with no prospects … no jobs, not likely to marry, nothing going for them. Some were foreign fighters. Some were combat tourists from a country like Jordan, looking at jihad as a way toward something.”

Q: Did anything surprise you in Iraq?

A: “The violence was low when I was there, in part because there was a surge in Iraqi police membership, blocks and blocks of police. The [Anbar] Awakening also was a reason violence dropped. These Sunni Sheikhs of Anbar Province … they were political bosses, tribal leaders, power brokers.”

Q: What was it like to return to the U.S. after a tour of duty?

A: “Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii — that’s a Marine Corps base.

I remember flying in and looking down at all these whales leaping out of the water. I also remember seeing rainbows, so many rainbows, because it rains every 10 minutes there.

People like to idealize the homecomings of military personnel, thinking all the wives will be waiting there in cocktail dresses and their kids will behave. It’s not like that at all. I remember seeing some of our young pups with their duffel bags, all alone and waiting for somebody to pick them up.”

Q: What’s next for you?

A: “I’m student-teaching at Maine East High School [in Park Ridge]. I’m observing now, and the plan is for me to teach classes likes Western Civ and Global Studies in the veterans >> page 10

Woman trains dogs to assist traumatized veterans ■ by angelika labno Pam Barnett was ready to retire from training and grooming dogs when she was called to use her dog-whispering skills for a new purpose.

A series of events led her to David Cimarrusti, Lake Bluff Post 510 commander, whose post commissioned her to train a dog for a veteran struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Two years later, she›s turned the situation into a nonprofit organization, Paws Assisting Wounded Warriors (PAWWS).

“I thought I accomplished every goal I ever wanted to do; my bucket list was filled,” said Barnett. “But this is my mission now.”

Chris Majewski, the inaugural veteran, said that after two years with Buster, he rarely has to call the commands — the dog knows by instinct what to do when he falls into a panic.

His love and respect for Buster stop his outbursts of rage, and with him, he›s finally able to stand in a room and talk to people. He feels comfortable enough to eat in a restaurant. He has even flown to Oregon with Buster in the cabin.

“I was a sniper overseas, two years of combat,” said Pam Barnett of Paws Assisting Wound- Majewski. “Every ed Warriors with a Black Labrador time I pulled the trigger, a little named Harold Koal. piece of me died. photography by joel lerner Once I got Buster,

it was like the guy who I was before I went to war was back again.”

Buster not only helps him with things like getting out of a public place during an attack or blocking him from oncoming people, but he has saved Majewski during his darkest moments. Last summer, Majewski considered taking his own life. However, every time the thought crossed his mind, Buster would nudge him on the chest or lick his hand.

“If it wasn›t for Buster, I would not be able to function as a civilian, and without Pam, I’d be six feet under,” Majewski added.

Barnett’s goal is to start a program that trains veterans to train their own dogs as service dogs.

“The demand is so great, there’s not enough dog trainers in the world to help do this,” said Barnett.

She estimates that it takes about a year to train a PTSD dog the most popular commands, which include: shielding from strangers, leaving a public place, opening doors and interrupting nightmares. More complex commands are reminders to take medications and covering the veteran’s body when needed. At the moment, she leads training sessions for PTSD and TBI affected veterans at her Palos Heights office, Pack Leader Academy, but she is in great need of securing a facility where dogs can stay overnight.

Barnett is also initiating a “Nudge” program this month. Harold Koal, named after a World War II veteran, is an incredibly compassionate black Labrador that Barnett has been training since last June. His specialty is nudging his head against people incessantly until they embrace

him. Veterans will be able to schedule time slots with him and bring him into therapy sessions at Hines V.A. Hospital. A trial run proved that Harold’s presence allows veterans to open up, sometimes for the very first time in years.

“I get e-mails from veterans all the time that read, ‘You›re my only hope, please help me,’” said Barnett. “I hope to have the best PTSD dog training center in the country.”

For Majewski, he says he got more than he what he bargained for with Buster.

“When I first contacted Pam, I thought of it as just a dog, a tool to use,” said Majewski. “What I did find out is that once they make that bond with you, you’ve found your soul mate. They’re the part of you that was broken and they’re making it better.”

With a new board of members and official 501(c) status, she hopes to draft a plan of action for the upcoming year.

More information can be found on the website www.pawsassistingwoundedwarriors.com. ■

about me; nothing about the Marine Corps is about the individual.”

Q: You attended sniper school in Camp Lejeune, N.C. What was that like?

A: “It got ugly at times, really hard. We took extensive marksmanship classes. Sleep depravation was a part of the training. Those were two tough months.”

Q: How’s your health?

A: “Most gunners retire after 30 years. I’m getting out now because my body … it’s torn up pretty bad. [My left big toe] is fused to my foot. I injured it in a fire fight, while trying to get up on a roof. I have a bulging disk in my neck, from an IED [Improvised Explosive Device]. I was in a gun turret, riding in a vehicle in the middle of the night. The vehicle in front of me was hit by an IED, and the overpressure from it damaged my neck.”

Q: What was it like waking up each morning knowing you’d get to seize the day while serving your country ?

A: “At first it was a big deal. But after a while it got to the point where you think, ‘This is what I do. I serve.’

Policemen must think the same thing while serving their communities. It was humbling for me, doing what I got to do with so many wonderful people for so many years. It was a good ride.”

Q: You wrestled in high school. What kind of grappler were you?

A: “An average one, a 155-pounder. But I had outstanding coaches. They toughened me up, made me a grinder.”

Q: What will you miss the most about the U.S. Marine Corps?

A: “The structure. I love structure.”

Q: What’s next for you?

A: “What I know for sure is that I’ll never be able to find a job as exciting as the one I had for 28 years. But I will look for something that I can be passionate about every day. Maybe I’ll help the [Veterans Affairs]. I’d get to work and take care of people and be a good leader for those going through some rough times.”

U.S. Marine Corps Master Sgt. John Roberts The native of Ohio — and diehard Ohio State University football fan — has been living at Naval Station Great Lakes near Lake Bluff for the past three months, with plans to retire in May 2014. He and his wife, Antoinette, have two children (Ariana, 12, and Donte, 9). Master Sergeant Roberts, 38, served two tours of duty in Iraq (February 2005-September 2005, February 2007-September 2007) as a Marine Corps communications engineer chief.

Q: What was your first day like on your first tour of duty?

A: “We flew into Kuwait at night, at around 2:30 a.m., on C-130s. I was on a combat dive. When we landed it was pitch dark. I spent time in Fallujah, serving as engineer support for an infantry battalion.”

Q: Any fears?

A: “How I would react [to violence and combat]. But I’d been told our training would kick in and fear would not be an issue. I never felt it. No fear, no hesitation. Everybody in those moments realized they had a job to do and they did it. All of us concentrated on each mission and nothing else. It was amazing.”

Q: Any thoughts on the enemy in Iraq?

A: “They were smart, but they were also cowards for using civilians as shields.”

Q: What did you learn from your tours of duty?

A: “After seeing oppressed people, I learned to appreciate freedom, for sure. It made all the sacrifices worth it.”

Q: What’s next for you?

A: “Teach social studies, either at the junior high or high school level. I’ve almost completed my master’s [degree] in education. My whole life I’ve always wanted to teach, to mold and to mentor. The experiences I’ve had with the Marine Corps — they won’t be wasted after I retire.”

Q: Ohio State will host archrival Michigan in football next fall. Any plans to attend the game?

A: “My wife is in charge of that. She knows I want to go to that game. It would be a nice retirement gift, wouldn’t it?” ■

winter. It’s the most diverse school, a Model UN school; I lucked out. I want to become a social studies teacher. So much has been made of the youth of today, how all of them are tethered too much to their iPhones and detached from everybody. But they’ll be fine, trust me. Some of them just need direction, mentorship. As a teacher, I want to show them how to take a idea and build it into a plan. Get these kids to talk to you. Believe me, they’ll say things that will amaze you … that will blow your hair back.”

Marine Gunner Charles E. Major Jr. (Ret.) Gunner Major, 47, was honored in a retirement ceremony on the grounds of Fort Sheridan on Sept. 21, after a 28-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps in which his boots hit the ground in 69 countries. Eight of his 12 deployments were combat missions, and he was one of only 102 U.S. Marine Corps gunners during the last decade of his decorated tenure. Gunner Major served as an individual augment to Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan from September 2009-May 2010.

A father of five, he lived on the grounds of Fort Sheridan for the last three-plus years as a Gunner Major with the 2nd Battalion, 24th Marines. His wife is Virginia. They’re planning to move to Lake Villa.

Q: What was an early turning point in your career?

A: “I was 23, in Hawaii, ready to leave the Marine Corps and head to college [University of Wisconsin-Whitewater].

One of my superiors asked me to think about the decision.

I then called my dad [Charles E. Major Sr.], who asked me, ‘Do you like what you do?’ I told him, ‘I can’t believe I get paid to do what I do.’ My dad later said, ‘You can always go to college,’ and the day before I was to fly home, I re-enlisted.”

Q: What are some of the essential qualities of a gunner (a technical weapons specialist)?

A: “Be like a father, be a good mentor, be a teacher, be understanding, be calm under fire. I got to work with some great guys all over the world. It was all about us, never

Libraries’ embrace of technology is one for the books

■ by kevin beese

Leo Martin and his wife, Sue, make their way to the Lake Forest Library three or four times a month, looking for books that pique their interest.

Rather than just judging a book by its cover, the Martins will take the extra step to hop on library computers to read book reviews posted on its website.

“I read the reviews to find books that I really like,” Leo Martin said. “The computers are very good for finding the kinds of things that are most important to me in a book.”

Martin has also gotten tutorial help from a librarian in using his tablet to download ebooks, opening up a wider world of information to him.

Martin’s tablet and computer uses at the Lake Forest Library are just two examples of how libraries are more than just the keepers of books anymore. While ebooks and other material that can be downloaded have been labeled by some as the potential death of brick-and-mortar libraries, local librarians are not planning for funeral services to be held anytime in the near future. Instead of running from the technological advances being unveiled, local libraries are embracing them and finding ways to help residents use those resources.

“There are a lot of benefits from technology,” said Rebecca Wolfe, director of the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District. “You can work from home in your PJs. Technology has made getting things done so easy.

“People can use the library now in the same way.”

reviews to individuals holding a library card.

Glenview and other local libraries offer online tutors to help with homework or residents’ questions, making them 24-hour resource centers. The Glenview and Winnetka libraries offer genealogical databases for researching family history.

The Lake Forest Library continues to add services patrons can download to their mobile device or from the comfort of their own home, library director Kaye Grabbe noted. She said people can turn to the library to borrow items instead of buying information.

“There is a lot of stuff available on Amazon, but you do have to pay for it,” Grabbe said.

“There is also a lot that is not there, things that we can find for you.”

Wolfe noted that residents can find a book on Amazon, but only a librarian can help find a “historical novel with wit that is just right for the individual. You get more by working with a librarian.”

Programming is another way local libraries are looking to serve their communities. From an iPad/iPhone workshop at the Glenview Library to kids learning how to use video and editing equipment at the Winnetka Library, local facilities are finding ways to provide residents with information and entertainment.

The Lake Forest Library offered 350 programs last year, 300 of them for children.

“We do story times for babies from birth to 23 months,” Grabbe said. “A 12-month-old is not story-time material, but it is an opportunity for the child to come to the library and for moms to interact and see what we have.”

Libraries will continue to evolve the way the education system has continued to evolve, Wolfe said.

“Schools are no longer limited by textbooks, and we are not limited by textbooks,” Wolfe said. “I would call that a win-win.” ■

The family business has grown from a small stock brokerage business into a boutique wealth management firm. SF Investment has more than $460 million in client assets.

Says Nate Shapiro, “It’s a dream come true to work alongside my boys, who are taking the business forward and hopefully will bring their children into the business to build on the foundation of helping others achieve financial success for many years to come.”

The Historic Preservation Commission is accepting nominations for the 2013 Highland Park Historical Preservation Awards.

Last year’s winners included the restoration of the Frank Lloyd Wright house at 1923 Lake Ave. and a new house in the Vine/Linden Maple Historic District at 199 Park Ave. The 2013 Awards will recognize five categories: restoration, rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, landscape restoration and new construction. Nominations are due to City Hall

by Monday, Oct. 28. Nomination forms are available at the Highland Park Public Library or at www.cityhpil.com.

Debut album is music to the ears of New Trier alumna ■ by angelika labno

The first song of Hadley Kennary’s debut album, “Two Yellow Birds,” is a touching tale of shortlived love.

Like the beautiful yellow bird that sings, Kennary of Winnetka was blessed with amazing vocals and a talent for songwriting. Three years after graduating from New Trier High School, the singer-songwriter launched her first album, In Fall, in August.

“All of it was written with me and a guitar,” said Kennary, who recorded the album in her bedroom and producer Collin Pastore’s living room. “It was very DIY (do-it-yourself).”

“I said if anyone were to do Hadley’s record, I wanted to be that guy,” Pastore said. “It’s easy to work with an artist that you vibe with in terms of what you already listen to ... we were like 95 percent on the same page.”

The album has traces of her musical inspirations, which include Joni Mitchell, Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson, as well as a range of emotions and tempos throughout. The songs follow the ups and downs of a relationship and her reactions to daily situations. She describes her music as intricate, memorable and intelligent.

“It’s good pop songwriting, but with a very genuine personal message that I don’t think you hear in the Top 40 stuff,” added Pastore.

Singing and playing guitar from a young age, Kennary took up music seriously at age 16. She began playing covers and writing her own music. New Trier opened her eyes to different genres of music, as she participated in the school’s musical theater, choir opera and swing choir.

Things kicked off when Kennary received a public address system her senior year and made her own venue out of it. She worked up the courage to talk to the bartender at Little Ricky’s in Winnetka, who in turn allowed her to perform there. Other performances include Uncommon Ground at Wrigleyville and a showcase at the Hard Rock Cafe last month.

Kennary was undecided about her college plans until senior year, when she chose to throw everything behind music.

“I realized that with anything I would do, I would still be trying to do music on the side,” she said.

Aware of the artistic risk involved in this industry, Kennary ensured a backup plan of pairing her songwriting studies with a business major. She found her match in Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she takes classes in marketing, concerts and touring, songwriting and contemporary music.

On the method to her madness during song creation, she said: “Sometimes the words spew out of me and I go on tangents, or I’ve had a melody stuck in my head and finally put words to it. Lately, it’s the music coming first.”

Although she wouldn’t mind working with a large venue after college, her current focus lies in performing and spreading her music. Her album is available on iTunes or through www.hadleykennary. com, which also posts the latest on her upcoming appearances.

“My mom will make fun of me because I shut off a few minutes before I go onstage,” said Kennary.

“I won’t come up with a set list until 20 minutes before I go onstage. You have to tailor your performance to the vibe of the room.” ■

Prolific novelist glad she gave up filmmaker idea

Gail Tsukiyama

■ by katie rose mceneely Gail Tsukiyama is a Ragdale alumna and the author of numerous novels, most recently “Street of a Thousand Blossoms,” which has been selected as the “Lake Forest Reads: Ragdale” book for October.

Reading: I’m just about to finish “A Constellation of Vital Phenomena” by Anthony Marra.

Listening: I’m usually thinking about the voices going into books, as opposed to the voices outside. But as I used to tell my students, when you want to write dialogue, go out and listen to it. In terms of music, I’m listening to music more because I’m working on a new book. It can be anyone from Philip Glass to Bach.

Watching: I found myself watching the birds a lot — they seem to be coming and going, and the leaves are starting to fall in California. I’m also watching the screen on my laptop a lot, because I’m writing a lot. I’m getting that eye glare!

Following: Because I’m kind of zeroing in on a new book, I’m following a lot of historical things during the time period I’m writing about. I’m always writing about 1900 and forward, so this is 1934 and forward in Hawaii. My father’s side of the family comes from there, but I’ve never written about it. A lot of that is just getting the atmosphere, historically, what was happening (and hopefully going to Hawaii for research). I’m following a lot of timelines. I’m just kind of plotting in my head how it’s going to fall. This particular book will spend more time in the modern day, which I don’t tend to do.

Whenever I have writer’s block, I tend to do something physical in the yard, or shoe

shopping, or looking at a movie where I can see a story being told visually, seeing the transition from scene to scene. We live in a weird world, writers, because writing is so big a part of our lives, and it’s a very stagnant thing, because we’re always sitting and writing. But your mind’s always busy! And what generates the work can be totally different.

Activity: I have another project I’m particularly involved in — I do more than just sit in front of a computer! We’re putting water wells in areas of developing countries, where we also send books. I was in India last November checking on water wells, and it’s very grassroots. It’s called Waterbridge Outreach (books + water).

I’m at Ragdale for A Novel Affair (Sept.

27-28), and it’s going to segue into Lake Forest Reads: Ragdale on the 30th. It would be nice if Lake Forest picks up this book and enjoys it — I’ll be talking about the writing of it.

Eating: I was looking in the fridge to make dinner, and I saw two heirloom tomatoes and mozzarella and thought “Oh, there’s that.”

Food is one of the joys of life, for me. It’s always nice, thinking of what you’ll eat next.

What is your favorite mistake?

I spent all my childhood thinking I wanted to be a filmmaker. I went to college and started taking film classes and realized how tedious it was. I just wanted to tell stories.

So I went over the writing program, and the first person who talked in my class was a poet, and I fell in love with it: using the least amount of language to tell a story, and I did all my undergrad work in poetry. It was one of those gifts that you didn’t see coming — poetry is the foundation for my writing and how to use language, but it’s not something I’d thought I would do. ■

Back in the mid-1970s, Luke Lincoln and his brother, Mike, attended numerous Chicago Bears and Northwestern University football games.

“They were both horrible,” recalls Luke, a youngster at the time. “Walter (Payton) left, Walter right, Walter up the middle — punt.”

Yet both Luke and his older brother were struck by what happened outside the stadiums — specifically, in the parking lots.

“The tailgating was the highlight of the day,” Luke says.

“To see all these people who were so passionate — even though the product inside wasn’t good — was amazing.”

The brothers talked for years about starting a company targeting tailgaters — those fans eating and drinking around their parked cars before and after games. Finally — well after the Bears had won a Super Bowl and two years after the once-woeful Wildcats had appeared in a Rose Bowl — they launched American Tailgater (www. americantailgater.com). Football-shaped charcoal grills, gas-powered blenders, motorized coolers and more have been scooped up by tailgating aficionados since the 1998 opening. After selling about 50 different products at the beginning, American Tailgater offers more than 1,000 today.

Though to some autumn is a quiet time to enjoy the changing color of leaves, for Luke (who now owns the firm himself after buying Mike’s share this year) it’s the busiest time of the year. NFL and NCAA football gear make up more than half of the Lake Bluff company’s revenues.

Lincoln can often be found among tailgaters around the country, and he says many good ideas have come from the entrepreneurs in the parking lot. He has his favorite spots.

“The Grove at Ole Miss is a classic tailgate spot. They bring their china out there, and people are cooking all day” Lincoln says. “The University of Washington and the University of Tennessee are great because they have floating tailgating on boats. We have grills designed for boats and beverage coolers with suction cups for the boater.”

In the NFL, Lincoln says Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium is the top venue — there’s a ton of parking because of the Royals’ baseball stadium next door. The most stunning visit occurred when he stopped by the parking lots in San Francisco and Oakland around the same time.

“Talk about a tale of two fan bases,” Lincoln says. “San Francisco had king crab, wine and cheese and silver in the parking lot. And then you had Raider Nation — basically beer and cheese whiz. Most looked like they were looking

Welcome to the land of Lincoln

for a brawl.”

The Lake Forest Country Day School graduate says magnetic beverage coolers — which range from $19.95 to $28.80 for a four-pack — are his best sellers (“you can slap them on the side of a car — just don’t drive home with them there”). Another hot item is the telescoping flagpole and stand, which extends up to 20 feet and allows tailgaters to fly two flags to alert partygoers where they are.

“Our challenge is to keep finding new products,” Lincoln says. “We have to find unique and innovative tailgate gear.”

“The tailgating was the highlight of the day.

To see all these people who were so passionate — even though the product inside wasn’t good — was amazing.” | Luke Lincoln Lincoln would like to further tap the corporate market. American Tailgater has struck deals with companies such as Dodge, where car buyers receive the Ultimate Tailgater Package (worth about $2,000) as part of their vehicle purchase.

“Tailgating is a great value for Luke Lincoln companies because of all the positive emotions associated with it,” says the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management graduate.

Beyond football, the tailgating market — estimated at $20 billion in annual sales — drops off significantly. Lincoln sells NASCAR-related products and a hockey puck flask, but interest is limited. He flew to London to consider the European soccer market, “but they all tailgate in the pubs.”

He’s made inroads on the music side, selling Jimmy Buffet-related tailgate items to Parrot Heads and others, and is wondering how to appeal to the Ravinia Festival crowd locally.

T hough A mer ican Tailgater printed 60,000 catalogues in its debut year — which Lincoln and others passed out at stadiums in a “guerilla marketing” campaign — today the focus is online. In October, a revamped Web site will be launched with a “Deal of the Day,” news updates and more.

The company has received favorable mentions in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, among other publications, helping to get the word out about its products.

For Sunday breakfast, Lincoln, his wife Amy and sons Lukie (4) and Fritz (2) enjoyed the new R ag i n’ Kitchen at Forest Park Beach this summer. Fall is another story.

“With football season here, the real Sunday breakfast is probably the huevos rancheros we like to illustration by barry blitt fire up when we get out to Soldier Field early for the noon starts,” he notes.

And with the Bears off to a solid start, tailgating is not the only reason to go to Soldier Field these days. Still, the notion of partying with friends outside of a stadium remains appealing.

Says Lincoln, “No one has a bad time tailgating.” ■

uled outings.

As for my month as a social butterfly, Zakeri patted me on the back.

“I know it feels like a lot, but you’re in a good place if you’re doing all that because it certainly isn’t standard,” Zakeri assured me.

“The payoff is worth it when you have things to celebrate, strong friendships, and you and your spouse are doing things together.

“Your calendar shouldn’t be a stressor.

Know your boundaries, know your spouse’s boundaries, and give them a pass when they need it. Maybe someone in your group won’t bring their husband next time: you accept their excuse and move on. Don’t dread the weekends.”

michael crawford/the new yorker collection/www.cartoonbank.com

The last few weekends have been unusually social, with activities and events across the spectrum. It’s made my head spin — but in a wonderful way.

There was the cold and rainy Sunday afternoon in the south end zone of Soldier Field, breaking the ice with two women whose reputations preceded them. Our husbands are long-time friends with a shared passion (or disgust, some years) for Bears football, though the wives are only invited to join them once in a blue moon. We are professionals, mothers, wives and fans whose lives have us running in circles that rarely overlap. But we laughed a lot together that day and I look forward to doing it again next season.

Then there was the sunny Saturday evening on my friend’s deck. This social circle was established when our children were assigned to the same daycare classroom, and the four moms widened the circle of friends during birthday parties and one

darn fun night of margaritas; we only recently decided to invite the husbands into the mix. Time will tell if the next event will be another family dinner or Girls’ Night Out; I see both in my future, but margaritas will likely come first.

A third weekend found my family picking apples on the Wisconsin state line with a family we met at a Super Bowl party many years ago, when we were just two young couples with nothing but time on our hands: no kids to raise, no lawns to mow. Now that we find ourselves toting two red wagons through the orchard, we’re having just as much fun together.

So there it is: three weekends filled by “his friends,” “her friends,” and “our friends.”

Enjoyable, but exhausting.

I said as much to Northfield Licensed Clinical Social Worker Lynn Zakeri, who told me, “For some people, it’s exhausting; for others, it’s invigorating. It all depends on where you get your energy – whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert.”

The challenge is to know your boundaries, as well as your spouse’s boundaries, and build a social calendar accordingly.

“I think we have a problem with living in the moment in our generation,” she added.

“We focus so much on making plans that when we make time for ourselves, it feels selfish.

But when you come back from whatever you do with your ‘Me Time,’ it rarely feels bad.”

Zakeri called attention to our parents’ generation and its defined marriage roles.

Rarely did her father set foot in the grocery store, whereas now many couples run household errands together. With modern couples acting more like best friends, it’s important that each partner make time to meet their individual needs, she explained.

For some people, a busy social calendar is a great thing. It’s a sign that you are part of a community and that others enjoy your company. Other people crave family time and long for quiet weekends, free of sched-

Let’s Talk Real Estate

by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI

The seller’s DIsClOsure With every listing comes a form called “The Seller’s Disclosure.” This is a form that every seller must fill out and should be included with documentation. It’s a form that tells potential buyers exactly what they’re in for with the house they’re buying.

While the disclosure is a great tool, it shouldn’t be your only tool. Ask the seller if they’re willing to have a home inspection done and if any defects are disclosed, that they’ll be willing to make necessary repairs. The good news is a seller’s disclosure will let you know about any defects or potential defects in a house. The bad news is that if, after closing, something happens that wasn’t listed on the form, and the seller says they were unaware of it, there’s nothing that can be done. This is why a home inspection is a great thing to invest in—as well as asking the seller to include a home warranty. If “Contingent upon satisfactory home inspection,” it’s written into the contract offered, the buyer is provided with options. With a home warranty secured and in place at the time of closing, both the buyer and the seller are protected, with just a little extra forethought and planning going into the terms of closing.

Talk with your Realtor®, they’ll explain all your options!

New Consumer Awareness Hotline Helps North Shore Home Sellers Pocket Thousands of Additional Dollars When Selling Their Homes Winnetka – A new consumer awareness hotline gives North Shore home sellers a behindthe-scenes peek at the most common mistakes that people make when selling their homes, and shares tips on simple, inexpensive things to do that make homes sell for thousands of additional dollars.

“Some home sellers over-invest in expensive improvements that don’t significantly increase the value of their home,” said Anne West of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, “while other sellers fail to do the simple things that cost almost no money, yet always make homes sell for thousands of dollars more.”

West became so frustrated with seeing sellers make the same mistakes over and over again that she launched the Consumer Awareness Hotline as a community service. “It’s really nice to see that people are calling and getting benefit from the hotline,” said West. “We get calls from people thanking us for the tips.”

You can access West’s Consumer Awareness Hotline by calling 1-888-881-4309, ext. 15 to listen to a free recorded message or visit NorthShoreHomeOwner.com. *No content provided on NorthShoreHomeOwner.com is provided by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

skändal raises money for toughest cases of abuse

skändal owner Katie Cory and her stylists Jane Bajeux (left) and Lotta Bengtsson enjoyed the store’s pajama party.

photography by joel lerner

■ by jake jarvi skändal in Winnetka hosted an open house in honor of its first anniversary in business — and offered guests a chance to make a difference in the lives of Chicagoland children as a part of the celebration.

Anyone who made purchases during the Thursday, Sept. 26 event had the option of receiving a 15 percent discount on his or her purchase or donating that 15 percent to the Rice Child + Family Center, a residential treatment center for the toughest cases of abuse and neglect in the Illinois foster care system.

“The money we raised is for the things that the state does not pay for,” says Katie Cory, owner of skändal.

“Shockingly, these are the things that work the most successfully to help the kids get better. They’re things like yoga therapy, music therapy, drum therapy.

They’re called expressive therapies.

The state won’t pay for them.”

For those who were unable to attend the pajama party, skändal is happy to forward checks to Rice that are dropped off at the store at 907 Green Bay Road in Winnetka.

The Rice Child + Family Center has been helping abused children for more than 105 years. When children who have suffered a history of violence demonstrate unpredictable behavior and have a difficult time socializing in foster families, Rice helps them to recover positive social capabilities.

Through the guidance of therapists who are with them 24 hours a day, individual and group counseling, and social skills training, the children are

rehabilitated with the hopes of placing them either in a loving adoptive or foster family.

“As an organization, about 88 percent or so of our funding comes from state or federal grants or reimbursements, but about eight percent of it is philanthropic like this,” says Jassen Strokosch, communications director of Children’s Home + Aid, the organization that founded the Rice Center.

“While that’s a small percentage of the total, it’s really crucial. Most of our great program success comes from doing additional services that aren’t going to be covered.

“One of the things we’ve implemented in the last couple years at Rice Center specifically is a much healthier diet. The children are healthier; they’re more active. We’re able to do that because of philanthropic dollars like this.”

One of the recurring costs for the Rice Child + Family Center is two pairs of pajamas per year for each of their residents. In honor of that, Cory and her team offered 20 percent discounts or donations to any guest who attended the open house in pajamas.

Cory opened skändal a year ago as the North Shore’s portal to Scandinavian design. Showcasing the work of design houses from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and the Netherlands, skändal emphasizes apparel and accessories but also maintains a selection of home goods and gifts.

“Besides my family, my heart lies in two places,” says Cory. “skändal and Rice. So events like this are a perfect mix.” ■

Johnard Washington and Robert Salazar star in “How We Got On” at Citadel Theatre in Lake Forest.

■ by jill soderberg The poetry and power of rap are central to Idris Goodwin’s play “How We Got On,” currently in its Midwest premiere at the Citadel Theatre.

Even if hip-hop tracks are nowhere to be found on your playlist, it would be a mistake to dismiss this coming-of-age story as one exclusive to the black and Latino characters who tell it. Director Josh Sobel delivers an energetic 80-minute production that explores and celebrates the emotional journey of three suburban teenagers who aspire to rap stardom.

And who quickly envelop you in their 1980s world of words, where “dope” means something good, “wack” equals lame, and “fly” signifies cool.

Further education in the genre comes from the DJ-like character of the Selector, who spins an illuminating history of rap as she narrates the action, assuring that audiences come away from this show enlightened as well as entertained — and maybe even a little intrigued by breakdancing and beatboxing.

The 15-year-olds of “How We Got On” live in an unnamed Midwest suburb they refer to as “The Hill.”

Johnard Washington plays the buoyant, slightly nerdy Hank, who is adept at writing the rhymes but unable to give his words life. His competitor and, later, collaborator, is Julian (Robert Salazar), whose braggadocio serves him well in performance but who is hamstrung when it comes to writing raps. Theirs is a contentious partnership set against a backdrop of fraught relationships with fathers who disapprove of their absorption in rap. To wit, Julian’s father characterizes his beatbox sounds as “farting noises.”

It is only when Luann (Alexandria Miller), an unlikely rapper in her plaid skirt and penny loafers, appears on the scene that the boys are shown the

key to unlocking the limitations on their rapping.

Her gift is improvisation, and she dazzles Hank and Julian with her seemingly magical on-the-spot rhymes. Luann counsels them to trust themselves and their craft, and she acknowledges the perils of artistic risk-taking, warning, “There’s gonna be mistakes.” As she guides them in unleashing their artistry, the play also becomes an examination of the creative process.

In the pivotal role of the Selector, Celeste M. Cooper, who also plays Hank’s and Julian’s fathers, is smart, sassy, and definitely in control. Johnard Washington’s Hank can move, rap, and command the stage — so well that it is he, not Robert Salazar’s Julian, who appears as the more confident, emboldened performer. The scales need to be tipped in the other direction to square with the plot.

Early in the play, Hank explains why he’s crazy for rap: “Because everybody, well most people in real life, they take an ‘L.’ Rich people. Poor.

Handsome people. Ugly. Citizens. Immigrants.

Everybody takes a loss. But in a rap song, you’re the winner, even if you’re small, you’re fat, even if you’re black and you live in The Hill.”

The rap songs in “How We Got On” may not provide the same transcendent feeling for North Shore audiences as they do for Hank, but mad props — in other words, kudos — to Artistic Director Scott Phelps for bringing this message and these characters to the Citadel stage.

“How We Got On” runs through Oct. 20 with performances presented Thursday through Sunday (Wednesday matinee on Oct. 16) on the Citadel Theatre Company stage at the former west campus of Lake Forest High School, 300 S. Waukegan Road.

Looking for a happy re-Frain Veteran Lake Forest squad taking steps to repeat as state field hockey champs ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Many players on this year’s Lake Forest High School field hockey team grew up idolizing the members of the Scouts’ 2009 squad.

LF’s current seniors were eighth-graders back then, impressionable and in awe while watching the ’09ers do their thing.

“That team was very, very good, with a lot of depth and outstanding seniors,” Scouts coach Melanie Walsh said of a 20-1 crew that placed second at state.

“I told my [current] players they’re on par with those players talent-wise.”

But her seniors — 14 strong, with six committed to play field hockey at Division I schools — didn’t buy the assessment, thinking it was too high of a compliment.

Eight games in this fall, it’s looking like Walsh is spot-on. Reigning state champion LF (8-0) has been dominant, allowing only three goals in games involving Illinois teams; LF gave up a goal at a tourney in St. Louis Aug. 31-Sept. 1.

“We have good stick skills, and we play with style,” Scouts senior defender Valerie Wood said. “We also work well together and communicate well.”

Collective team speed also separates Lake Forest from most, if not all, of Illinois’ top programs.

“After we played Glenbard West [a 3-0 Scouts victory on Sept. 3], its coach, Karen Judge, said to me, ‘I thought our team was fast,’ ” Walsh recounted.

“It’s been exciting,” she added. “The group is sweet and worked hard in the offseason.”

Her group played three games in a twoday span last weekend, topping host New Trier High School 1-0 on Sept. 20 and downing visiting Chicago Latin 3-0 and Oak Park-River Forest 5-2 the next day.

Flying high

Burds, Kingdom lead New Trier to a 10-1 start ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com More than a few times during New Trier High School’s field hockey game at Deerfield High School earlier this week, NT coach Stephanie Nykaza shouted to her Trevians, “Two touch, one touch!”

Translation: “Control the ball quickly, pass it quickly!”

Her Trevians also scored quickly on Sept. 23, needing only a little more than two minutes to take a 1-0 lead. The visitors didn’t let up from there and cruised to a 7-0 victory to improve to 10-1.

“The team is starting to bring to the table a different kind of intensity — a better intensity, which we needed to do,” Nykaza said. “I’ve also noticed lately that our seniors are stepping into strong roles and taking ownership of their play.

“I’m happy where we are now.”

NT’s Trevs built a joyous 5-0 halftime lead against the Warriors on a pair of goals from senior midfielder/co-captain Maddy Burds and tallies from sophomore attack Claire Weaver and senior attacks Tierney Behles and Hannah Waldman.

Waldman and senior midfielder/co-captain Jackie Kingdom each fed an assist in the first 30 minutes.

“We play with a lot of heart,” said Kingdom, highly adept at igniting the Trevians’ smooth transition game. “We’re

good at pumping each other up, too.”

Weaver, on an assist from junior attack Rachel Mirkin, and junior attack Katherine Kenyon struck the goals in the second half.

Senior Becca Winer served as NT’s goalie.

“This team certainly knows how to put the ball in the cage; we showed that today,” Nykaza said. “They’re all so strong as a whole. It’s a really talented group.”

Three days earlier, it fell 1-0 at home to reigning state champion Lake Forest High School. But it wasn’t a discouraging setback.

“Our team defense came together, and we played with a lot of intensity,” recalled Kingdom, an all-stater last fall.

The Trevians’ confidence spiked throughout their rout at Deerfield. They whacked sharp passes at one end of the field and barely allowed the Warriors’ attack players to venture anywhere near the cage behind Winer.

“We proved today that we have two strong lines,” Burds said.

Notable: NT’s other starters in the game at Deerfield were senior defenders Molly Klare and Julia Pappageorge; senior midfielders Carley Scott and Chloe Madvig; junior midfielder Kristen Nykaza; and senior attack Julia Melio. …

The elapsed time between Burds’ backto-back goals in the first half was 9:46. flying high >> page 44

Francke, Trevs have appetite for winning ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Will Francke’s name is still up there on a big board in a restaurant, two years after the New Trier High School linebacker attempted to devour an eight-pound sandwich in one sitting.

Now a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior, he took a crack at the daunting food feat at Real Urban Barbeque in Highland Park after — what else? — a football game in 2011.

The sandwich was a monster on a plate, with sausage and pulled pork serving as its anchors.

“It had coleslaw and pickles, too,” Franck recalled while digesting his team’s 44-21 defeat of visiting Deerfield on Sept. 20.

The sandwich could have fed an army — and at least three-quarters of a navy.

“I’m on that restaurant’s ‘Wall of Shame,’ ” he said, smiling. “I ate only about half of it.”

But he took care of “polishing off” business in a pair of pivotal moments last weekend.

With NT up 23-21 and Deerfield (1-3) driving in NT territory early in the fourth quarter, Francke stopped senior option quarterback Ben Ethridge for a five-yard loss at the Trevians’ 39-yard line.

Deerfield then lined up for a punt. Junior punter Dominic DiBenedetto took off on a run after taking the long snap, needing nine yards for a first down.

Francke clearly hadn’t lost his appetite for stifling ball carriers, as he tackled the punter five yards short of the first-down marker.

“I saw an opening,” Francke said of his tackle for loss, which followed a tackle for loss (minus-two) by NT senior lineman Michael Sernus on the previous play. “Deerfield is a physical team. Deerfield fought hard the entire game.

“I’m really happy for our team. We never quit.”

It appeared his team would never trail when the Trevians (2-2) needed only two possessions to take a 14-0 lead. Senior quarterback Matt McCaffrey connected with senior wideout Spencer Cotten for a 69-yard touchdown on a second-and-38 at 9:23.

McCaffrey then capped a 65-yard TD trip with a nine-yard run at 1:34.

But Deerfield halted NT’s momentum, scoring 21 of the next 24 points to take a 21-17 lead at 8:40 of the third quarter. Ethridge (25 carries, 160 yards) carried the visitors, steering a confounding triple-option offense and rushing for TD runs of five, six and five yards.

“It’s a great scheme, and Deerfield is well-coached,” NT coach Dan Starkey said.

“Defending an option is assignment football. Deerfield kept us off balance, but we made adjustments in the second half.

“We did a better job of getting to the right spots.”

McCaffrey did it all on offense — again. A week after throwing for a TD, rushing for

a TD and catching a TD pass against Niles North, he finished with two TD passes, two rushing TDs and a 10-yard TD reception from wideout Mark Snyder.

Junior Scott Hammes caught McCaffrey’s other scoring toss. McCaffrey totaled 261 all-purpose yards, 232 via the air.

“It’s fun to watch,” Starkey said of his squad’s offense.

NT also got a 40-yard field goal from senior kicker Charlie Durbin and a 16-yard interception return for a TD from senior defensive back Ian Sinclair.

New Trier hosts Waukegan (2-2) in a Central Suburban League South opener Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Waukegan lost 28-21 to host Highland Park on Sept. 20.

Notable: Cotten totaled 109 yards on only two receptions against Deerfield. Hammes came down with a team-high six catches for 52 yards. … NT senior back Jordan Garrett ran hard all night, gaining a Trevians-best 72 yards on 11 carries. He also caught a 15-yard pass from McCaffrey. … Sernus and junior Daniel Morton each recovered a fumble for New Trier. Morton’s recovery came on a kickoff return at 3:58 of the fourth quarter, setting up the Trevs’ penultimate TD. ■

Nasatir is ‘an important cog’ for HP’s highly skilled golf team ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Before last month’s PGA Championship, Brandon Nasatir’s golf hero could pass for an average Joe in any setting.

Jason Dufner’s physique isn’t 5-iron thin like many of his fellow tour professionals, and the unruly brown hair he covers with a white golf hat screams, “I lost my comb!”

But Dufner won his first major at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., burying his anonymity forever when he drained a putt to win by two strokes.

“Dufner … that’s my boy,” said a smiling Nasatir, a Highland Park High School senior who became a huge fan of the 5-foot-10, 180-pounder well before Dufner’s breakthrough performance.

“If you were in the parking lot at a golf tournament and saw Dufner get out of a car, you’d think, ‘There’s a spectator.’ ” Dufner is one of the PGA Tour’s top wagglers, a man who sometimes spends as much time addressing a shot as it takes a normal person to eat a bag of chips.

Nasatir waggles regularly on golf courses, too.

“It keeps me loose,” the Giant said.

Nasatir, in general, has been more of a carefree golfer than he was in the early years of his prep career. Like many competitors in a hard sport like golf, he’d be hard on himself if a putt came up short or if an iron shot found a greenside beach.

“Brandon would get down on himself,” Giants coach Paul Harris recalled. “But what I’ve noticed this year is his body language, his outlook — they’re both even, both positive.

He’s carried himself well all season.”

At the halfway point of the season on Sept. 19, Nasatir shot a 41 on the par-35 at the Highland Park Quad at Northmoor Country Club. It wasn’t one of the Giants’ top four scores, but that didn’t bother Nasatir in the least.

“Why worry?” he said cheerfully. “Why not just play a round on a private course and enjoy it? I no longer get down

Scores from senior ace Patrick Flavin (36) and classmate Daniel Hetlinger (36) also counted for the Giants.

“It’s very cool, with some very good teams,” Apter said of the quad. “[The plan] was to hit solid shots and see if I could get a couple of up-and-downs.”

Meitus birdied the eighth and ninth holes, hours after the course had absorbed heavy rains all morning.

“Hit straight, make putts,” he said of his approach at each hole.

For Stephanie and Casey a visit to Speckled Hen is a feather in their cap

We don’t get a lot of time away because of the retail store. Sometimes a weekend is a walk with our dog in Middlefork Preserve so we can be best friends instead of business partners.

But we recently took a nice weekend in Madison. We went to the Speckled Hen Inn, a bed and breakfast with five rooms. My husband said we were going to our cottage without running water for my 30th birthday. So when we got on the road to the Speckled Hen, I thought he was lost — the cottage is another four hours away. Instead, it was a great surprise.

The setting was so beautiful. It was peaceful, cozy, welcoming and relaxing. We had a lot of privacy, but we could also talk with other guests.

“Breakfast was so delicious ... they brought it to our room. They picked the potatoes out of the garden that morning and the raspberries from the raspberry bush.”

I (Stephanie) have a lot of food allergies, and the Speckled Hen is so careful with its food preparation. Breakfast was so delicious.

They went the extra mile — they brought it to our room. They picked the potatoes out of the garden that morning and the raspberries from the raspberry bush.

Even the drive home was great. We were listening to Kathy and Judy on WGN. It was their first show back. It was so nice.
