eyond The Onion, I’ve always believed publications should be imbued with a better sense of humor. All that black type and articles filled with gravitas can sometimes enervate the reader.

And there’s no better time to inject levity than on April Fool’s Day, which occurs next Tuesday.

The gold standard, in my mind, occurred within the April 1, 1985 issue of Sports Illustrated. “The Curious Case of Sidd Finch” detailed, over many pages, a one-shoed pitcher who hurled a 168-mph fastball who was trying to make the New York Mets squad. Written by George Plimpton, it was believed by many — including this writer — until the magazine admitted it was a hoax a full two weeks later.

Such a serious, respected magazine, who would think Sports Illustrated would foist a piece of obvious fiction on its readers?

When I ran a daily sports section in the Los Angeles area, I tried to pull off a similar feat, running a dead-serious story that the local high school was changing its long-beloved nickname in an April 1 issue. I received at least one call from an aghast subscriber asking how the students could have voted to become the Bananas (to be honest, I

don’t recall which absurd nickname I chose, but it’s probably similar to the yellow fruit).

At Pioneer Press, I twice tried to launch an April Fool’s Day piece in the weekly papers (given the publication schedule, it meant an April 1 edition appeared every five years or so). Twice I was shot down.

Given The North Shore Weekend is a weekly that debuted in 2012, it’s no surprise I haven’t had the chance to pull off an April Fool’s piece yet —my first opportunity will be the Saturday/Sunday edition in 2017. Will a story report that Market Square’s chicago name will be sponsored by Wal-Mart to raise 773 404 2020 revenue? That Wilmette will allow cruise-ship docking by its harbor? That Glenbrook North boasts a one-shoed pitcher who fires 168-mph fastballs?

As the cliché goes, the possibilities are endless.3.21.14 BSM NSW Dream in color.indd I’ll need three years to figure out the best one.

Enjoy the weekend.

The brothers Pasquesi — Mark, Lou, Frank and Joe — caddied at Northmoor Golf Club to help earn college scholarships.

photography by joel lerner

They’re not left holding the bag More than 800 caddies a year enjoy having college tuition covered as Evans Scholars ■ by bill mclean Zoe Sundstrom was at a varsity basketball practice 27 years ago when her mother, Barb, entered the Oak ParkRiver Forest High School gym holding an unopened letter.

The hoops coach was not pleased.

“My mom said, ‘I can’t wait any longer,’ recalls Sundstrom, now a Glenview resident, mother of three and part-time speech pathologist.

The coach noticed the letter was from the Western Golf Association and allowed Zoe to open it. Moments later she found out she’d been selected to receive an Evans Scholarship, a full college tuition and housing award for caddies.

The coach started to cry.

“He had been an Evans Scholar,” Sundstrom says.

“I had no idea, and he had no idea that I’d been a caddie for years [at Riverside Golf Club].

“It was a life-changing thing, being an Evans Scholar,” she adds. “For all of us.”

A total of 840 lives at 19 universities (mostly in the Midwest) are undergoing positive alterations as Evans Scholars, thanks to a foundation started in 1930 by the late Charles “Chick” Evans, a career amateur golf great who won the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in 1916. More than 9,800 caddies have graduated from college as Evans Scholars, including the two inaugural North Shore honorees who received $300 each to cover the tuition at Northwestern in 1930.

Says Western Golf Association/Evans Scholars Foundation chairman Dennis O’Keefe, a Winnetka resident, “this year we awarded nearly $15 million for the 840 students who are enrolled in college. Our aim is to increase that number to 1,000 scholars per year before the end of the decade.

“Presidents of universities love us because we’re sending them highly qualified students [with an average GPA of 3.25] and outstanding people.”

Evans Scholars are selected based on candidates’ academics, financial need, leadership, character and caddie record. The Evans Scholars Foundation is considered golf’s favorite charity, with more than 100,000 contributors, including 26,000 Evans Scholars Foundation Par Club members. Evans Scholars alumni donate more than $6.2 million annually, and the average grant is valued at $70,000 over four years.

Annual proceeds from four prestigious golf tournaments run by the Western Golf Association, including the PGA’s BMW Championship, are also donated to the Evans Scholars Foundation.

An Evans Scholarship enabled Sundstrom to major in communication studies and linguistics and reside in an Evans Scholarship Foundation chapter house at Northwestern University, where she met her future husband, Matt, a New Trier High School graduate who also happened to be an Evans Scholar.

Sundstrom, a 1991 NU graduate, caddied for former Chicago Bears Mike Ditka and Bob Avellini and former Chicago Blackhawk Doug Wilson, among other members and guests, at Riverside Golf Club before “spending 10 more years under the straps” as a caddie at Skokie Country Club.

Four Highland Park High School graduates and brothers — Frank, Lou, Mark and Joe Pasquesi — each earned an Evans Scholarship after riding their bikes three miles to work and caddying for years (often six days a week in the summers) at Northmoor Golf Course in Highland Park. Their father, Evo, worked as a carpenter, and their mother, Pia, worked as a seamstress at the Pasquesi home on Bloom Street.

The brothers’ heroes never earned a cent on the PGA Tour.

They were too busy raising four sons and Joe Pasquesi’s twin, Caroline.

“Our parents also were our role models while we were growing up,” says Lou Pasquesi, 45, an Indiana evans scholars >> page 17

WFMT program host offers classic touch

Lisa Flynn

■ by les jacobson At 9:50 a.m. Lisa Flynn, midday voice of classical music station WFMT, enters the studio, adjusts the microphone and eases into her preferred chair, different from the one vacated by departing host Carl Grapentine.

“We’ve all got our favorites,” she laughs.

The program host and producer unloads the collection of CDs she’ll be playing on today’s program and lines them up, where she can feed them easily into the CD player.

At the top of the hour, she launches into her broadcast.

“We’ll travel to the streets of Madrid in just a moment,” she says in her dulcet tones.

This is her 23rd year at WFMT, one of the nation’s leading classical music stations with an average weekly listenership of 300,000 — of which a significant portion is in the North Shore.

Flynn has “the perfect voice for classical music,” says WFMT General Manager Steve Robinson. “It’s the voice of an angel, calm and soothing. She also has a tremendous knowledge of music. And in her quiet way, she’s very passionate about what she plays.

“Put it all together,” he concludes, “and

she’s the perfect classical music announcer.”

She’s actually much more than an announcer. There are no writers, producers or engineers in the studio with her. She combines all those roles, cueing up selections in advance, preparing and announcing the weather and news stories, reading commercials (all station commercials are read by the announcers) and giving listeners some information on each piece she plays.

It keeps her busy for the four-hour length of her show.

Part of her job includes picking the pieces she plans to play. Selections are made six weeks in advance, so they can be included in the station’s monthly Program Guide. But there’s enough flexibility in the schedule to allow her to broadcast other works, such as when conductor Claudio Abbado died.

“That gives us room to play tributes,” she notes. “We have guidelines, of course, but within them the announcers have a lot of freedom to pick the pieces we play.

There’s the core repertoire. We also will program works by artists coming to town [she’s interviewed dozens on the air, from soprano Renee Fleming to composer John Adams]. And I like to feature new releases.

It’s really about making sure the selections are judicious, that they flow, and that we keep things interesting for the listener.”

After the “Musical Nocturne on the Streets of Madrid,” she continues the “warm weather” theme with more Spanish music, including works by Manuel de Falla and Joaquin Rodrigo.

Then it’s time for a commercial.

“Did your knives and cleavers help you party hearty last year?” she announces

jauntily. Later she asks, with a note of concern, “Are you fed up with your tired, rundown bathroom?”

The commercial spots may seem incongruous, but they don’t bother her.

“I like to read them. It helps maintain the sound of the station. It’s more personal than playing pre-recorded jingles.

“But we do have to change gears in a way.

One moment I’m talking about music, the next I’m promoting some product. There’s a little bit of acting to it.”

She’s been at it a long time. Her dad worked in the computer industry and moved frequently, so she lived in different places — Florida, Virginia, South Carolina and even Munich for several years. She grew up playing violin, “which fired my love for classical music.” When her folks relocated to Florida she attended Brevard County Community College and University of Central Florida in Orlando, where she worked at the college radio station.

After college she worked at the local PBS station and “learned on the job.” In 1989 she moved to Columbus, Ohio, and worked two years there before being encouraged to audition for an opening at WFMT. She started in 1991.

Since then she’s seen a world of changes, from LPs and reel-to-reel tapes to CDs and now, more and more, digital.

But despite the new technologies, one thing remains constant: she loves her job.

“I’m very happy here. We’re given such freedom to program and play what we want.

Hopefully we’re providing a breadth of music with intelligent commentary that listeners can enjoy.” ■

Exercise firm fits the bill for mom of triplets ■ by katie rose mceneely

Dana Pieper is a blogger and fitness entrepreneur living in Highland Park.

Reading: I would like to say that I am an avid reader and that I have time to read. But mostly I’m reading magazines — Fitness, Shape, Health.

I’m staying up-to-date in that area because that’s what I write about.

“You can be super fit and get an incredible workout, or you can be a beginner and the workout can grow with you.” | Dana Pieper

Dana Pieper Ravinia North Shore 3-28 Plumbing ad_Layout 1 3/19/14 8:54 AM Page 1

Listening: I’m a huge music person, and so is my husband. On the radio I listen to a lot of pop, because that’s what I use in my classes. But in the house, we listen to all kinds of alternative stuff.

My kids are having a poms-themed birthday party, and one of our favorite songs is Inner Ninja by Classified.

Watching: I watch both the Chicago shows that are filmed here, “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago PD,” and I started watching “True Detective,” an HBO show. I’m a big “Modern Family” addict.

Following: I try to stay on top of anything, any new type of workout technique. Be it something I can implement or something I want to research.

But also just general things about nutrition and the body, what’s beneficial, how to make things more efficient.

Activity: I’ve been teaching group exercise for probably around 15 years. When I moved here from

PL055-003586

California, the Highland Park Recreational Center was just opening, and I was able to get on their schedule. I developed a bunch of classes for their program and got quite a nice following.

About two years ago I decided to take what I do in the gym and try to reach people outside of Highland Park, and I started this company, Everybody Fitness, workouts for everybody and every body. You can be super fit and get an incredible workout, or you can be a beginner and the workout can grow with you as you become more skilled.

I made an exercise DVD two years ago, and it was very successful. Last year I decided to do another one geared towards people who are travelers or who don’t have a lot of time. I’m contemplating another one. I just have to find the exact thing I want to do —I want to do something innovative and different.

I’m a mom and I live the life I preach about, so I try to make sure everyone knows I don’t just talk the talk; I walk the walk. I wouldn’t give advice I wouldn’t take myself.

Eating: I’m a very healthy eater. Lean protein, I don’t indulge in carbs like chips or crackers, but I’ll eat whole grains. And I can’t get enough vegetables. My kids get home and want chips, and I just pull out sugar snap peas.

What is your favorite mistake?

We moved back from California because I had triplets, and my husband wanted to be closer to family in the Midwest. I did not really want to move — the weather is a big thing for me. But moving here, I’ve met amazing people, I’ve built my business here, I’ve been able to do all the things I wanted to do, and that maybe wouldn’t have been possible in California. But with this winter we’ve been having, I still think, “Why did we do this?”

sunday breakfast Author raises the Barr with debut novel

Lisa Barr

illustration by barry blitt ■ by jenna schubert For Lisa Barr, writing has always come naturally.

“In my first-grade essay, I said that I wanted to be a writer,” says the Northbrook native who lives in Deerfield.

Now, as a published author with an extensive background in journalism, Barr has achieved what her first-grade self could only dream of.

Early in her writing career, Barr spent seven years in Jerusalem, where she covered politics, lifestyle and terrorism for The Jerusalem Post. In 2002, she returned to the United States to work for a magazine in Washington, D.C. for several years before coming back to the Chicago area.

At that time, she launched the women’s section (called “Lifestyles”) for the Chicago Sun-Times.

Barr’s journalistic background — which includes a masters degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University — exposed her to a variety of topics. So when it came to deciding on the topic of her first book, Fugitive Colors, Barr had a lot of inspiration to choose from.

The novel, published in October, follows the story of three young artists in Europe on the eve of World War II. At that time, the Nazis stole, hid, sold, and destroyed avant-garde paintings and artwork from artists of the Expressionism movement.

“It was wild, chaotic, and dramatic art that didn’t fit with the Nazis very organized, disciplined, and classical approach to art,” Barr says.

Although the topic of Nazi-confiscated art during the Holocaust has only recently emerged in the public spotlight (it was the focus of this year’s film “Monuments Men”), the subject has intrigued Barr for years.

In 1991, she was working as the managing editor for Today’s Chicago Woman when she was assigned to cover the “Degenerate Art” exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago.

“When I walked in, it was an ‘a-ha moment.’ I had never known about this part of Holocaust history — how the Nazis confiscated avant-garde artwork,” Barr says. “Paintings were taken, museums were shut down, curators were fired, and art supply stores were closed. The artists’ hands were basically tied.”

Years later, Barr researched the topic thoroughly, visiting Europe and conducting numerous interviews to use as background for her book.

“I wanted to make the history feel very real,” she says. “For me, it was crucial to give an accurate perspective.”

As Barr describes, the paintings created by skilled and famous artists were sold anonymously by the Nazis to fund their war efforts, while artwork created by amateur artists was hidden or destroyed. Now, many of the stolen paintings are beginning to resurface, as they are found in homes and museums around the world.

“But the question is: Will the rightful owners be able to claim those paintings?”

Barr says.

After the successful debut of Fugitive Colors — whose 400-page hardcover was published by Arcade Publishing — Barr is beginning work on another book. Her new novel — in which the central character, a mother and journalist, stumbles upon the story of her career but may be unable to publish it — will be more contemporary than Fugitive Colors but will still be packed with intrigue and suspense. Barr also launched a blog called GIRLilla Warfare, which she describes as a racy and provocative blog for moms. And, when time permits, she works on freelance assignments for various magazines and publications.

Almost all of her writing is done at the Deerfield Starbucks – which she considers to be her “office.” Deerfield is also the place she calls home.

“It’s funny, I’ve traveled the world, and the last place I thought I’d end up was my own backyard, where I grew up,” Barr says.

“But for raising kids, this is a fabulous community. It has everything: it’s comfortable, it’s safe, and it has lots of interesting people who came from different careers in the city. I love the vibe.”

When she’s not writing, Barr enjoys taking cardio-boxing classes with her husband and spending time with her three daughters (Noa, Maya, and stepdaughter Maya).

To her, leading a normal life with family is a top priority.

“When you’re writing, you go into extraordinary circumstances,” Barr says.

“So it’s nice when life has ordinary circumstances.” ■

love & marriage

It’s never easy to reveal — or hear — a secret

I was riding the train home from work when I finished Liane Moriarty’s novel The Husband’s Secret and was struck by the final words in the epilogue: “None of us know all the possible courses our lives could have and maybe should have taken. It’s probably just as well. Some secrets are meant to stay secret forever. Just ask Pandora.”

I quickly flipped back to the front of the book and found in the prologue a retelling of the Greek myth of Pandora’s Box. When Pandora is sent off to marry Epimetheus with a covered jar, she can’t help but open it. She inadvertently releases evil into the world, leaving only hope in the jar she brought to her marriage.

If you’ve read the book (no spoilers here for those who haven’t) you know that the title refers to only one of the secrets in the story. Readers find most every character is keeping something from their mother, child, cousin, friend or self.

Moriarty told many reporters during her publicity tour that the book was inspired by the concept of deathbed confessions; people use their lasts breaths to reveal that they plagiarized someone else’s work or committed some other transgression. They wait until their final moments to find relief from their guilt.

When I told her about the book (she hasn’t read it, and

I didn’t spoil it for her either), Highland Park clinical social worker and therapist Anna Marcolin explained to me that secrets can be toxic. She believes in complete transparency for the emotional and mental health of any couple.

“The energy that goes into holding secrets can make us physically ill – we’re just not wired for it as humans,” she said. “It’s a real bother to our conscience, but people can and do hold on to secrets all the time.”

There are, of course, degrees of secrets and their possible effects on a marriage. Infidelity, debt, substance abuse and criminal histories are deal-breakers for many, but Marcolin said that issues of personal health and safety, like one partner’s eating disorder, also impact the marriage.

“That’s a big secret because it affects your health, and your spouse needs to know about it,” she said. “Or if your father was addicted to pornography, you might not ever bring it up with your spouse until your friend’s husband gets caught with it and you have a really strong reaction and nobody understands why.”

To keep these revelations away from the deathbed, I asked Marcolin how local couples can best reveal and

■ by joanna brown

receive a long-held secret.

“We keep secrets because we fear losing the people around us, so it’s best to find some you trust — a friend or sister, a therapist or a member of the clergy, to start an open and honest dialogue in a safe place,” she encouraged. “Hearing a secret from you partner can be really hard, but do your best to listen with an open heart and an open mind, and then get the help you need to process your feelings, again with a good friend or therapist or clergyman.

“Processing it together is great, but oftentimes you need to step away to process it.”

Her advice took me back to the novel, one page before the story of Pandora’s Box. The author offered Alexander Pope’s quote: To err is human; to forgive, divine.

YOur CredIt sCOre What impacts your credit score? Most of us know that the credit score is important, but few think about it until it’s time to ask for that loan, apply for a credit card, and even nowadays, get that dream job. Today’s employers are choosing their people more carefully than ever, and running a credit check on them is one of the ways they do it. That’s why it’s important to know what can affect your credit score and how to improve it should the need arise. Whether you want to buy a car, a house or even a cell phone, your credit is going to be checked and while you might be able to get a phone, with a low credit score, it’s going to limit your home buying or even renting capability. If you’re trying to purchase a home, find a lender who is willing to work with you to help raise your score, clear up debts and prepare for the future.

If you don’t know which lender would be best for you, contact your Realtor®-they work closely with mortgage companies and after going over your needs, your Realtor® can help guide you to the company that can best assist you.

Veteran Chicago restaurateur lands in North Shore ■ by katie rose mceneely Erwin Drechsler is the culinary director of prepared foods at Artisanal in Wilmette.

How did you start cooking?

I’m fortunate to come from a foodie family. My mother was a great baker and a great cook, and my dad was in the meatpacking industry — he was a butcher. There was always freshly-prepared, seasonal foods on the table.

“It’s like being in a candy store for me, to have access to the product and the support of the ownership.” | Erwin Drechsler

Recipe: Butternut Squash Bisque

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large stockpot with cover. Add 2 peeled and dice carrots; 2 diced celery stalks; 2 diced yellow onions; 3 peeled, cored and diced Granny Smith apples; and 8 cups peeled and diced butternut squash. Sweat, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes.

Heat 12 cups seasoned chicken stock in a separate pan. Add simmering stock to vegetables and continue to cook, uncovered, until squash is soft. Which in 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 3 tablespoons brown sugar; and 2 cups apple cider.

Remove from heat and cool 1 hour. Puree soup with an immersion blender, reheat, and serve with dollops of sour cream and thin slices of Granny Smith apple.

I have been owning and operating restaurants in Chicago for about 30 years prior to coming here; my first restaurant was called “Metropolis Café” in Old Town in 1983. We were one of the first gourmet food prepared concepts at the time — we did our own baking, we made our own pastry, soups, sides, to go. We went on to open Metropolis 1800. That’s where we really made our mark, as far as having a seasonally driven menu. We started the whole farm-to-table thing before it was fashionable. It was a cool place — unfortunately, it was retail development and we were way ahead of our time, and the place went under and we vacated and took some time off, did some traveling looking at restaurant concepts in California and New York.

We stumbled across a place in Lakeview and it seemed like a good fit, so we opened that up in 1993. That year, Bon Appetit Magazine voted us one of the top ten new restaurants in the U.S. We drew the curtain on that in 2012 and

I had been doing some consulting. I was trying to figure out what to do, and one day stumbled into Artisanal. I met the owners — they knew me and my background and asked me if I would be interested in taking over the prepared food.

They also have a store in Andersonville called Urban Orchard; plans are to provide food for that location.

I started working here mid-November, and it’s kind of back to where I started: seasonal, locally sourced, high-quality prepared foods to go. Since Artisanal has a whole animal-butchering department, the materials are high quality. It’s like being in a candy store for me, to have access to the product and the support of the ownership.

Years cooking? 30 years.

Best recipe tweak? Using a lot of fresh — not dried herbs — has broadened my palate. Not necessarily cooking with the herb but finishing with it.

Favorite cuisine to make? We use a lot of Mediterranean overtones in what we do. We’re starting to integrate more Middle Eastern spices and ingredients.

What do you like to eat at home? I like to eat very simply — fresh pasta with some garlic parsley, extra virgin olive oil, maybe a fried egg.

Worthwhile gadget? A microplane for grating everything from nutmeg to lemon zest.

Favorite vegetable? Brussels sprouts.

Most memorable kitchen incident?

We were running venison for a special and one customer ordered it — and when it came out, they told us they didn’t want it because they didn’t eat fish. Which was kind of weird.

Artisanal is a family-owned grocery and butcher shop located at 414 Linden Avenue in Wilmette. For more information, visit artisanalwilmette.com or call 847-512-3155. ■

evans scholars >> from 8

University graduate who lives in Highland Park and is an employee benefits consultant at the VITI companies in Highwood.

Lou, Mark, 42, and Joe, 39, caught the caddie bug when their older brother Frank, 48, completed loop after loop at Northmoor, brought home some serious earnings and plopped the money in a coffee can, a makeshift piggy bank provided by Pia. “The incredible experiences my brothers and I shared as caddies had a profoundly powerful and positive impact on our lives,” says Frank, a Northwestern graduate, Lake Forest resident and senior vice president/attorney for CVS Caremark Corporation. “We learned at a very young age the power of perseverance and how fortunate we were to work with and be mentored by so many generous and caring members.”

Lake Forest resident and Northwestern graduate Mark Pasquesi is the managing broker at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group-Lake Forest. Evanston resident and University of Illinois graduate Joe Pasquesi is a broker for the same realty group.

“Education was always important to all us,” Mark says. “To do well in school — that drove us. We worked just as hard as caddies and learned so much on the golf course, interacting with adults and watching how well they treated clients during rounds.”

Glenview resident and Evans Scholar alumnus Joe Haffner carried a bag for an attorney in a foursome of attorneys every Saturday for three summers at Beverly Country Club in Chicago. One day an attorney sought advice from Haffner about the way a putt would likely break, and Haffner happily obliged. The attorney missed the putt and shot a glare at Haffner.

“Don’t look at me,” Haffner responded. “You putted it.”

All four lawyers enjoyed a good laugh and one of them later encouraged Haffner to become a lawyer. A Mount Carmel High School graduate who studied as an Evans Scholar at Marquette University, Haffner took the advice and ran with it — all the way to the degree he bagged at John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

“All four of those guys were great guys and they treated me like a son,” recalls Haffner, 48, the son of a retired truck driver, Charlie, and a brother of 14 siblings who all somehow grew up in a three-bedroom home. “I caddied for people from all walks of life. I asked

questions and had great discussions with golfers while working at the club.

“I’ll never forget the day I got the news I’d received an Evans Scholarship. The letter came on my mom’s [Patricia’s] birthday in December [1982]. What a unique and fantastic program, the Evans Scholarship Foundation. It gave me a wonderful opportunity to pursue an education and it continues to do that every year for caddies.”

Marquette junior and Northbrook native John McPike played football in autumns and wrestled in winters at Loyola Academy. The 2011 graduate practically lived at Sunset Ridge Country Club in Northfield during his summers, working as a caddie who’d travel to the club at 6:30 a.m. and return home near sundown up to six days a week.

“Being a caddie matures you in a hurry,” says McPike, an Evans Scholar and economics/ criminology and law studies double major who resides in MU’s co-ed, 62-student Evans Scholars Foundation chapter house. “The job helped me develop communication skills. It got nerve-racking at times, trying to give golf advice to people 30 years older. But I got a lot out of the experiences on the course, which led to receiving an Evans Scholarship.

“I will always be thankful for all of the support from everybody at Sunset Ridge and for my parents [Tom and Kate] for all the times they drove me to the club.”

Near the end of her second career loop as an eighth-grade caddie, Sundstrom was grateful for the way her golfer reacted to a rather embarrassing incident on the 15th hole at Riverside Golf Club. Wearing sneakers and lugging a big leather golf bag, Sundstrom slipped on a mossy patch of concrete and fell — right into a creek.

The owner of the big leather golf bag immediately stopped what he was doing to look behind him.

“Because he’d heard the splash I made,” Sundstrom recalls. “Then he started laughing, which was a good thing because he wasn’t angry. I got out of the water, covered in pond scum. Those last three holes, they were manageable because all of the men in the group were great to me, nice to me.

“My golfer said to me, ‘The only thing I’m really upset about now is that I don’t have a camera to take a picture of you.’ ” ■

Heart Ball chairs aim to raise record amount to fight diseases ■ by stacy flannery

Janet and Paul Burt.

photography by jim prisching

Paul and Janet Burt of Lake Forest know about matters close to the heart.

Diagnosed with a congenital heart defect at birth, their daughter Sophia underwent open-heart surgery shortly after her seventh birthday. Now 11, she is active and healthy.

“We are grateful to the American Heart Association and their many programs that save children’s lives like Sophia’s,” says Janet. “It was easy to say ‘yes’ to chairing the Heart Ball this year.”

The Burts will be hosts to the 800-person plus Heart Ball at Navy Pier on April 12, sponsored by the American Heart Association (AHA). Serving as a black-tie fundraiser featuring live and silent auction, dinner, and dancing, there will be hundreds of stories of triumph over tragedy when it comes to dealing with heart disease.

Congenital heart defects affect eight out of every 1,000 infants born each year, and the AHA funds more research on children’s heart disease than any organization outside of the federal government. In 2013, the AHA funded more than $13.6 million for new research

related to children’s heart disease.

The AHA played a crucial role most recently in Illinois, passing legislation to ensure a pulse oximetry test — a way of measuring the concentration of oxygen in the blood that is used to evaluate various medical conditions that could affect the function of the heart and lungs — to be administered to all newborns.

While the AHA has made great strides for children, heart disease is the number one killer for adults. More than 4,600 will have a heart attack or stroke today, and by tonight, half will lose their fight. Cardiovascular disease accounts for 32 percent of all deaths in Illinois.

The Burts are looking to turn around these numbers with awareness events like the Heart Ball.

“We have an attainable goal of raising $3 million,” says Paul. “If we reach it, the Chicago Heart Ball will be the most successful in AH A history.”

T h e Amer i can Heart Association’s Heart Ball is on Saturday, April 12 at Navy Pier. For tickets and information, call 312-476-6624. ■

Rabbis, others to shave heads to fight pediatric cancer ■ by angelika labno

Am Shalom Rabbi Steven Stark Lowenstein already had his head shaved for 36 Rabbis Shave for the Brave, while fellow Am Shalom rabbi Phyllis Sommer and her husband, Rabbi Michael Sommer, are having their heads shaved at the April 1 event.

photography by joel lerner

When Highwood resident and Am Shalom Rabbi Phyllis Sommer conceived 36 Rabbis Shave for the Brave, her son, Sammy, was in remission from leukemia. It was the end of October.

Two weeks later, leukemia hit again.

In December, it claimed his life. He was 8 years old.

The effect of Sammy’s death rippled through the faith community, catapulting Shave for the Brave to an endeavor bigger than Sommer could have ever imagined. The initial goal of $180,000 was reached in the week following Sammy’s death. It was doubled, then tripled, and is currently three-fourths of the way to $540,000.

The numbers of the monetary goal and original rabbi count have significant meaning, as they are multiples of 18. In Hebrew letters, Sommer explains, the number 18 spells life.

“I can’t bring back my son, but I believe that I have a responsibility to react to what has happened in my life,” said Sommer.

Pediatric cancer receives four percent of the U.S. funding for cancer research, as is stated on the St. Baldrick’s Foundation website (the California nonprofit fights childhood cancer). The figure includes the dozen forms of childhood cancers.

A main concern is not just finding a cure but uncovering pediatric-specific treatments that involve fewer side effects.

The National Cancer Institute recently published findings on the late effects of treatment for childhood cancer. These effects are physical, including the risk of second cancers, and psychological, affecting learning and memory. It was found that 60 to more than 90 percent of adult survivors will develop one or more chronic health conditions, and up to 80 percent will have severe or life-threatening complications during adulthood.

“So many kids die from treatment alone, and we need to give everyone a fighting chance,” Sommer notes.

With the current goal, Shave for the Brave could fund five years of research through St. Baldrick’s. The foundation is the largest funder of pediatric research and disburses grants to more than 300 institutions across 20 countries.

Sommer’s decision to partner with the foundation came from an “off-the-cuff” conversation with friend and fellow rabbi, Rebecca Schorr.

“We wanted to do something as a faith community — maybe by joining together as religious leaders, that would be the impetus to make someone pay attention,” said Schorr, who resides in Pennsylvania. They thought that shaving one’s head would lead to discussion and further awareness on childhood cancer. “We live in a society that makes a lot of judgment based on how people look, so to do something that disfigures takes an incredible amount of passion and compassion.”

The climax of the initiative is set for Tuesday, April 1, when an estimated 50 rabbis and rabbinic students will gather in Chicago for a headshaving event. Another two dozen are shaving their heads in their respective communities around the country and Canada, and several more have opted to raise funds instead of shave.

Schorr believes the event will be “exhilarating,” adding, “There’s a sense of hope that is generated by all these people fighting the same fight.

“To have my female colleagues stand with me and be bald — it’s going to be a pretty powerful experience,” said Sommer. Her male colleagues have joked that they didn’t have “much to lose.”

Those interested in donating can look to the 36 Rabbis Shave for the Brave’s Facebook page for a link to its St. Baldrick’s page. ■

Fine 59: New Trier Green’s Jack Junge makes a glove save against Glenbrook North’s Alexander Merritt during the state championship at the United Center. Junge was the Player of the Game.

Dazzlin' Dozen ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com On the ice, Brent Segvich was dressed to thrill.

And he did.

Wearing jersey No. 9, the New Trier Green junior forward broke the ice — and a scoreless tie — by poking in the game’s first goal in the opening period of the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) state championship game at the United Center on March 20.

It was Segvich’s 36th goal of the season.

Scoring first, he said, was a “confidence booster” for the No. 1 seed, which wound up beating Glenbrook North 3-1 to win their 12th state title in program history.

Off the ice, the bearded Segvich oozed confidence. While doing various interviews outside the locker room, he looked like a character in a popular 1980 Harold Ramis film about a variety of antics at an exclusive golf club.

His pants were plaid: green, yellow with a touch of pink.

His tie was lime green. “ ‘Caddyshack,’ right?” said Segvich.

“I love shopping for clothes at outlet malls,” he added.

On the other side of the fashion spectrum, New Trier Green head coach Bob Melton looked downright dapper in a dark three-piece suit with a green “New Trier” tie.

“The only time this tie comes out of the closet is for this game,” said Melton.

He was, if you will, dressed to the … tens.

With Melton at the helm, New Trier Green (37-9-1) captured its 10th state title in 17 years.

This one will go down as extra special.

“I was just happy to beat Sandburg to get to the Final

NT Green sews up 12th state hockey title

Four,” said Melton. “Yes, we were seeded No. 1. But in hockey land, I don’t think we were favored to win this year.

A lot of things had to happen for it to work out this way.”

For NT Green, it all started with goalie Jack Junge. The junior all-stater was his nearly impenetrable self once again, making 28 saves and being named the “Player of the Game.”

In the third period, the unrelenting Spartans (61-14-1) bombarded Junge with a vast array of black saucers. He was shot at 14 times. Only one — John McNally’s goal with 43.3 seconds left on the clock — got by him.

Junge, a Jack of trades, now has won three state titles: two hockey, one golf.

“I’ll cherish this for about a month or so,” said the youthful looking Junge, completely enjoying the moment. “I also have golf to worry about. [He was scheduled for a golf lesson with renowned instructor Todd Soens on March 22].”

Junge was hardly a one-man spectacle.

“Our defense did an incredible job,” the goalie said. “It was an extreme team effort.”

One of the plays of the game came with 3:30 left in the second period. With a loose puck sitting just outside NT’s doorstep following a Junge save, Sam Weinstein sprung into action and swatted it away just in the nick of time.

The junior defenseman cleaned up the mess to keep it a 1-0 score.

“The puck was sitting right there in the crease. Nobody was around it. I went in there and hit it away as hard as I could,” said Weinstein. “I was happy to do it. Coaches were pretty happy, too.

“I’m not out there to score,” he added, “but to shut the door on the other team.”

Weinstein, who played for NT Blue last year, is one of the

unsung heroes on this team.

“He was a forward at the start of the year, and we moved him to defense,” said Melton. “Wherever you put him, he’ll find a way.”

The same goes for many others on this team, including Matt Boscow and Kevin Marren.

Boscow, a junior defenseman who sat out last year with a knee injury, was ready to rock ‘n’ roll.

In the opening period, No. 47 lost his stick in the New Trier Green zone and played without it for a full 30 seconds. He made a couple of courageous blocks — body and blade — before eventually coming out.

“One of the toughest guys we’ve got,” said Melton. “He does whatever it takes.”

Meanwhile, it wasn’t hard for Melton to direct praise Marren’s way.

The junior forward scored what proved to be the gamewinner, when his redirect whistled past GBN goalie Nathan Berger with 7:09 left in the third period.

Grahman Soman set it up, when he ripped a canon shot from the right point.

“We got contributions from everyone,” said Melton.

Segvich and senior Matt Solberg were the scoring leaders for NT Green. Segvich finished with 59 points (36 goals, 23 assists), while Solberg, who was credited with an assist on Segvich’s game-opening goal, ended up with a team-high 72 points (38 goals, 35 assists).

Forwards Brad Glass (16 goals, 21 assists) and Jason Kuker (19 goals, 15 assists) and all-state defensemen Jack Dolby (3 goals, 26 assists) also supplied the firepower.

“People didn’t believe we could win this year,” said Segvich. “It was awesome to prove them wrong.’’ ■

The eyes of March

3/29 – 3/30/14

State title is a vision quest for Dynek, NT ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com All of New Trier’s girls hockey players found themselves in the dark near the end of the state championship game.

But none of them panicked and the one who had triggered the temporary darkness ended up lighting the lamp for the clinching goal at the United Center in Chicago.

“She [NT junior forward Ivy Dynek] told us to close our eyes before the start of overtime and visualize a gamewinning goal,” New Trier junior forward Becca Lindblad recounted after Dynek’s goal secured a 3-2 double-overtime defeat of Loyola Academy for the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) state championship on March 20.

Lindblad dished the key assist on a set play that started behind NT senior goaltender Nicole Diesing and ended with Dynek’s power-play goal at the other end of the Chicago Blackhawks’ home rink in the fifth minute of the second seven-minute OT session.

Lindblad, a University of Connecticut recruit, sped down the middle of the ice and directed a right-on delivery to Dynek, skating swiftly to the left of Lindblad. Dynek’s laser shot terminated the thriller and upped Lindblad’s team-leading assist total to 18.

“What a beautiful pass from Becca,” said Dynek, who led NT (25-3-2) in goals scored this winter with 27. “It was an honor to get a pass like that in a game like this.”

Dynek must have felt right at home at the United Center, since she’d attended the St. Louis Blues-Blackhawks game the previous night.

That was news to NT coach Nelson Forsberg.

“She didn’t tell me that,” Forsberg, half-smiling, said after guiding the program to its second state title in three years and third since he was named coach.

“I would not have wanted her to go. I would’ve told her, ‘Get some rest instead.’ But I’ll let it slide.”

The first tally of the championship was the result of a Mia-a-Mia battle. NT sophomore forward Mia Solberg beat Loyola senior goaltender Mia Rascia at the 11:34 mark of the second period. Solberg alertly wristed a rebound, inches in

photography by joel lerner front of a Rascia pad, through the five hole. Senior forward Jackie Kingdom got credit for the assist.

Sophomore forward Johanna Glaaser’s unassisted goal made it 2-0 at 9:58 of the second period.

LA (13-13-5) scored nearly three minutes later and then tied it at 2-2 with 2:21 left in the third period.

“Loyola always plays us tough and it helped that we’d seen them so many times this season,” said Forsberg, alluding to NT’s 5-0-1 record against the Ramblers before the championship tilt.

“Loyola,” he added, “made it a game there late.”

A tripping penalty on Loyola late in the second OT set the stage for the memorable Lindblad-Dynek sequence. Diesing had an ideal view as it unfolded.

“When Becca and Ivy are skating fast like that, it’s great to watch,” said Diesing, named the AHAI Player of the Year. “As soon as Ivy got the puck, I thought, ‘This is it.’ ” The UC’s deafening horn blared as Dynek’s goal settled down behind Rascia. Diesing (15 saves) then threw her hands up jubilantly, NT’s players enveloped Dynek and in

minutes most of the victors had donned red Blackhawks caps above their broad smiles.

“These girls made my year,” said first-year NT assistant coach Carla Pentimone, who played hockey for Loyola Academy. “It’s an amazing organization with an amazing head coach. What a special group of girls. Everybody came together as a unit and they left it all out there on the ice.”

Notable: Dynek, Lindblad and Diesing, along with New Trier senior defenseman Molly Klare, senior forward Carla Zalesky and freshman defenseman Taylor Munson, made the AHAI all-state team. Diesing and Dynek were Blackhawk Alumni All-Star team picks. … NT outshot Loyola 27-17 in the state championship, including 7-2 in the OT sessions. … Lindblad, on what the outcome would be if she raced Dynek on skates: “She’d kill me. She’s the fastest player in the state.” … Klare, also a member of New Trier’s state championship team two years ago, was a four-year defender for the school’s field hockey team and helped that program win the state title as a sophomore in 2011. She will play field hockey at Colgate University. ■

■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Two years ago, Loyola Academy senior goaltender Mia Rascia made a hard decision.

She quit hockey.

Mia … Missing in Action.

“A huge regret,” said Rascia, in a postgame interview at the United Center on March 20.

She had to come back. “(At the time) I didn’t realize how much I loved the sport,” said Rascia. “How much I missed it.”

She also might have forgotten how good she was at stopping pucks.

Rascia was one of the topics of conversation following her team’s 3-2 double overtime loss to New Trier in the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) state championship game.

“We wouldn’t have made it here without her,” said LA head coach Conor Sedam.

“And tonight, we couldn’t have asked her to do anything more,” the coach added. “New Trier has a lot of speed, a lot of skill. And she was ready every second (of the game).”

It was a gold-glove performance by Rascia, who was credited with 24 saves against New Trier’s high-powered offense.

“I’m proud of our (team) effort, especially since there had been such a big gap between us,” said Rascia, who finished the season with 226 saves for the 13-13-5 Ramblers.

New Trier (25-3-2), which held a 5-0-1

record against LA during the regular season, entered this showcase game as the prohibitive favorite.

“I don’t think anyone thought we’d take them to two overtimes,” said LA senior superstar Erin O’Connor. “But we went into this game pretty pumped. I think it hit us that this was our last chance.”

After making three brilliant saves in the second OT, Rascia was unable to do anything with New Trier’s final shot of the game. The sudden-victory goal by junior all-stater Ivy Dynek was just a little too dynamic.

Off a feed from Connecticut-bound junior Becca Lindblad, Dynek was perfectly situated to slap in a top-shelf goal with 2:09 left.

“I knew at the time that I went down too early,” said Rascia, who backed up goalie Claire Kennedy last year after sitting out her sophomore season. “By the time I stood up, it was too late.”

O’Connor and Tess Dettling, who made all-state honors along with teammates Maggie Cusick, Courtney Cheevers and Emma Wright, also turned in standout performances.

O’Connor was the last player to leave the LA locker room, and she was doing a balancing act. She awkwardly carried out not one, not two but four sticks — a sure sign that she was helping out a couple of forgetful teammates. “ W hose sticks are these? ” said rascia's return >> page 33

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

With Kevin Reiterman & Bill McLean

At the Shoot-Around

Boys Basketball Lake Forest: The Associated Press announced their all-state selections last week.

Junior forward Evan Boudreaux earned honorable mention honors. He averaged 25 points and 14 rebounds per game.

Loyola: He was trey-iffic.

Sophomore Brandon Danowski didn’t win, but he did put on a show as the Class 4A representative in the IHSA Three-Point Showdown.

The sharp-shooting Rambler fired in nine shots to share second place in the King of the Hill competition at Peoria’s Carver Arena on March 22.

Junior Will Schaufelberger, who plays for Class 2A Greenville, connected on 13 threes to win the crown.

After hitting 11 in the 4A preliminary round on March 20, Danowski made 12 in the final round on March 21 to edge Collinsville’s Bret Langley (11). Maine South’s Caleb de Marigny made eight shots in the four-man final.

Loyola: Neither Loyola Academy coach Tom Livatino nor Ramblers senior guard James Clarke chose to dwell on the here and now after a playoff loss.

LA bowed 58-32 to eventual Class 4A state champion Whitney Young at the Chicago State University Supersectional on March 18.

“We won’t let one evening define this team,” Livatino insisted. “This was a special, special, special team.”

The 6-foot Clark echoed the sentiment, noting the 2013-14 team captured league, regional and sectional titles.

“Great season, fun season,” he added after scoring nine points and grabbing three rebounds.

Loyola shot a frosty 18 percent from the field against 6-foot-11, Duke-bound Jahlil Okafor and the Dolphins (26-5). Okafor (24.3 ppg) was more facilitator than scorer for most of the game and finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

The Ramblers trailed 19-3 after one quarter and 32-12 at the break.

“We weren’t as crisp and sharp as usual,” Livatino said. “The tale of the first half was our failure to execute offensively.”

LA’s Griffin Boehm (5 points, 4 rebounds), a 6-foot-4 forward, hit a three-pointer in the first frame and had the challenging task of guarding Okafor for most of the night.

“Griffin,” Livatino said, “was an absolute warrior. He competed the whole game and was utterly impressive to watch.”

The Ramblers showed some life early in the third quarter, getting consecutive treys from Clarke and senior guard Jack Morrissey (11

O’Connor, as she prepared to talk to reporters.

It was a fitting scene. O’Connor had to wear many hats — use many sticks — in this title game.

In an effort to slow down New Trier’s dangerous offense, Sedam shifted his prized forward to the defensive side.

It was a risk-reward move.

“We needed her more there,” said the LA coach.

“It was a sacrifice for her.”

O’Connor, who will play college hockey at Harvard, has made “her living” pelting goalies. In 25 previous games, she had 30 goals and 13 assists.

“I was fine with it,” said O’Connor, who was named to the Blackhawk Alumni All-Star Team earlier this season.

points, 3 boards). But Young answered with a 6-0 run and opened the fourth quarter with another 6-0 spurt.

This season’s LA crew (25-6) amassed the third most wins in program history. Clarke, Morrissey and senior point guard Kevin Kucera (3 rebounds each played three seasons of varsity ball and served as captains in 2013-14. Morrissey earned Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) all-state honors (second team), while Clark was a special mention pick. Kucera was an honorable mention.

“Amazing captains, amazing guys,” Livatino said. “Their future success is guaranteed on and off the court.”

The Rundown

Boys/Girls Track Highland Park: The Giants took top honors in the CSL North Indoor Championships on March 21 at Glenbrook North. Top efforts were turned in by Griffin Bojan (1st, 800, 2:05), Ben Casey (1st, 1600, 4:35), Eddie Smoliak (1st, pole vault, 13-6) and Benjy Rogin (1st, 55 hurdles, 7.5).

HP’s girls also claimed an league indoor title on March 20 at GBN. Vanessa Griffin (1st, long jump, 16-3) and Kiera Thorpe (1st, triple jump, 34-5) led the way.

Loyola: The Ramblers boys squad scored 121 points to win the Chicago Catholic Indoor Championships on March 22 at the University of Chicago. Christian Swenson placed first in the 3200 (9:33.04).

Meanwhile, the LA girls earned runnerup honors. Two days after competing in the state hockey tournament at the United Center, sophomore Kathryn House ran a 12:10.57 to win the 3200 meters. Sarah Kelly (2:26.92) and Jackie McDonnell (2:27.04) went 1-2 in the 800 meters. Kelly also was first in the 1600 (5:18.40), while Francesca LaToracca won the shot put (33-4 ½).

New Trier: The girls team tallied 388 points to win the CSL South Indoor Championship on March 20. Rose Gorski was a double winner in the 50 (7.07) and 200 (27.63). The Trevians also had top showings from Tara Smart (1st, 400, 1:02.21), Kelli Schmidt (1st, 1600, 5:19.33), Mimi Smith (1st, 3200, 11:08.98), Nicole Karabas (1st, pole vault, 10-0) and Alison Borsotti (1st, shot put, 35-7 ½).

The New Trier boys scored 212 points to take second in the indoor league championships at Niles West on March 21. Senior Peter Cotsirilos won the 1600 in 4:29.39. Senior Chase Silverman ran a 9:31.11 to win the 3200. Senior John Polydoris took first in the shot put (47-3 ¼).

Besides, she added, “I could rush the puck anytime I wanted.”

And … she did.

Set up nicely by freshman forward Valerie Caldwell, O’Connor tallied her 31st goal of the season in the second period (7:16) to cut New Trier’s 2-0 lead in half.

Eventually, Dettling, who could become the “next Erin O’Connor,” sent the game to overtime. She flicked in a wrist shot with 2:21 left in regulation.

Assists were awarded to junior Nicole Matouske and sophomore Lindsay Getz.

“Tess has got some good years ahead of her,” said Sedam.

The same could be said about the Ramblers.

Their roster listed only two seniors: O’Connor and Rascia. ■

The place that we call our home away from home is in Bigfork, Montana, in the Flathead Valley.

We started going there when our now19-year-old son Matt was five months old.

Matt and Ava (16) have really grown up there. Sometimes we’ve been there all summer long.

“At night we take the pontoon to the middle of the lake and gaze at the stars. It’s very much a family haven.”

100s of crunches will only take you so far

We’re on a little lake, Echo Lake — it’s one of the warmest in the area. We can swim without wetsuits. We hang out on the deck, which is bigger than the inside of our cabin. We go kayaking and canoeing in the summer. In the winter, we go ice skating on the lake and cross country skiing. We can sit by the fire and play BigforkOpoly — we’ve had it so long that most (of the board game's) places are out of business.

We love hiking at Jewel Basin Hiking Area, which is absolutely beautiful. We also hike at Glacier National Park. When Matt was a baby, we hiked Glacier deep into the woods — and we came across a black bear and her cubs. My (Candus) legs were shaking. When we walked by, Mark said, “High five; we saw a bear!” I said, “I’m not going to high five until we get into the car.”

Every hour of the day, the mountains change their personality, from sunrise to when there’s a storm to when they’re purple. It’s absolutely beautiful. At night we take the pontoon to the middle of the lake and gaze at the stars. It’s very much a family haven.

OFFICIAL FERRARI DEALER

Ferrari Lake Forest

born to race

This is a car of rare elegance inspired by one of the great Ferraris of the past — the 250 California of 1957. It has become a symbol not only of style, fashion and innovation, but also of exclusivity, magnificent craftsmanship and superior refinement.

The mid-front 8-cylinder, Ferrari California is a convertible GT with a retractable hard-top. It is a Coupe and Spider rolled into one — it is truly a car with multiple personalities. To see it is a delight to the eye, to drive it… well, you’ll see why experts say, “It’s born to race.”
