W

hen we launched The North Shore Weekend in 2012, we pictured our audience as a well-read group, fans of publications from the Financial Times to The New Yorker.

To that end, Barry Blitt — who has created more New Yorker covers than any other living person — was asked if he’d draw illustrations for our weekly Sunday Breakfast feature. The longtime cartoonist agreed.

On the East Coast where he’s based, he’s received innumerable awards, including the American Society of Magazine Editors Cover of the Year in 2006, when he showed the Bush cabinet in a flooded Oval Office after Hurricane Katrina (an equal-opportunity illustrator, he has also skewered Barack Obama, perhaps most famously after the botched health-care rollout showing the President on a massive 1980s cellphone trying to fix the problem).

For his first contest entry in the Midwest, Blitt has made another splash. His North Shore Weekend sketch of Kurt Andersen — co-founder of 1980s stalwart Spy magazine with Vanity Fair Editor Graydon

8 | news North Shore fixture eyes another century of retail success ■ by bill mclean It is hard to believe, but the property where Market Square in Lake Forest sits was not a sight for sore eyes nearly 100 years ago.

It made eyes sore.

“Downtown Lake Forest was a ramshackle area before Market Square was built [in 1916],” author and Lake Forest College professor of history emeritus Michael H. Ebner told The North Shore Weekend last year.

Lake Forest resident Arthur T. Aldis did something about it back then, urging noted architect and Lake Forest resident Howard Van Doren Shaw to supervise the construction of charming shops in the heart of the city’s business district. “[Aldis],” Ebner added, “wanted commuters who got off the train to look at Market Square and be reminded of Lake Forest’s beautiful homes. It did exactly that.”

Nearly 100 years later Michael Schreiber, another Lake Forest native, feared Market Square —recognized as one of the earliest planned shopping centers in the country and the oldest on the North Shore — would fall into the wrong hands.

So he did something about it, purchasing its 25 shops and restaurants last November for $35.5 million as a principal at L3 Capital in Chicago.

“I’m working with three phenomenal [L3 Capital] partners,” the 36-year-old

Schreiber said, referring to Domenic Lanni, Greg Schott and Tim Phair. “We have a great team in place, and we really did our homework. We knew [Market Square] was in need of care and that it is so important to the city of Lake Forest.”

Market Square does not need an enormous defibrillator. But folks would certainly be shocked if it received a clean bill of health today.

“Do we think [Market Square] needs to be enhanced? Absolutely,” Schreiber said.

“We’re really looking at this project from two standpoints: the capital upgrades that need to take place and the marketing plan that we need to build.

“Our goal is to enhance the brand of Market Square, not rebrand it.”

Schreiber is up for the challenge, even when a growing number of consumers seem content to click a computer mouse at home to make a purchase rather than visit a store to make a purchase — and interact with a human.

“The whole market has changed,” said Mike D’Onofrio, in his 13th year as director of community development for Winnetka.

“I still think it’s nice to walk to a series of shops, say hello to people and actually touch something before buying it. Walkability, parkability, spending time in a business district that has a small-town feel … all of that is appealing.”

Unlike Lake Forest and its centrally located cluster of retail businesses, Winnetka has four business districts:

Hubbard Woods, Elm Street (East), Elm Street (West) and Indian Hill. Technical Assistant Panels from Chicago’s chapter of Urban Land Institute examined Winnetka’s business climate twice last year and reported to the village.

“They made a series of recommendations that the village could undertake to revitalize and augment our business districts,” D’Onofrio said. “One was to liberalize the requirements for a restaurant’s liquor license. That has gone before our Council; the licensing is in the process of being changed.

The goal of the community is to keep the retail districts vibrant, and a community can do that if it redesigns and adapts.

“Niche businesses in Winnetka,” he added, “are a draw.”

One of which, D’Onofrio noted, is Artistica Italian Gallery on Green Bay Road in the Hubbard Woods district. It features ceramics, dinnerware and luxurious linens and stemware.

“There’s also The Book Stall [on Elm Street] and not too long ago a Once Upon A Bagel opened [on Gage Street],” he said.

“Winnetka has quite a variety of businesses.”

Among the businesses at Market Square are Forest Bootery, Gerhard’s Elegant European Desserts and Kiddles Sports.

“We can help each retailer [in Market Square], and we plan to do so through social media, web sites and advertising,” Schreiber said. “We consider such a relationship a partnership.

“If the retailers don’t do well, then we don’t do well.”

The news of L3 Capital’s purchase of Market Square and several surrounding establishments — including the Starbucks building and the building on Forest Avenue that houses Lake Forest Jewelers and Megan Winters Atelier and Maison — thrilled Lake Forest city manager Bob Kiely.

“First and foremost, we’re so excited about the new ownership,” he said. “[Schreiber] is from the community, he brings expertise, and he did everything right before buying the property. Renewed investment … it’s what the community wanted to see.”

The Lake Forest Improvement Trust — formed in 1912 to get rid of the sorry-looking bunch of downtown buildings that existed — ran Market Square for decades. Original investors included most of the leading citizens of the day, with names such as Armour, Swift, Donnelley, and others. The theory of management was to retain the local merchants by keeping the rents reasonable while allowing a modest profit for the shareholders.

In 1984, the trust sold Market Square to Robert Meers, who ran it until Schreiber purchased the properties.

Market Square turns 100 in 2016.

Another iconic structure, located nearly 30 miles south, got built 100 years ago and was named Weeghman Park.

It goes by Wrigley Field these days.

It, like Market Square, is in store for some upgrades.

“We will treat Market Square with respect, working closely with the city’s Historic Preservation Commission and the City of Lake Forest staff,” Schreiber said.

“We will also listen to the community.

“Our goal is to make the ‘old girl’ live for another 100 years.” ■

Tireless volunteer to receive inaugural award

photography by joel lerner

Louise Holland

■ by joanna brown It wasn’t that long ago that Winnetka’s Nan Greenough set out to honor her friend, Louise Holland, on her birthday.

Greenough crafted a floral centerpiece.

Each flower would have clipped to it one of Holland’s accomplishments as a local volunteer. She was quite certain that 18 clips

would be enough to highlight Holland’s accomplishments as a volunteer serving the Village Board, the Winnetka Historical Society and the Winnetka Community House.

But Greenough was wrong.

She’ll have a second chance to honor Holland at the Winnetka Community House April 12, when Holland receives the first Distinguished Service Award at the Governors’ Ball. The

black-tie event will include dinner, dancing and live and silent auctions. All proceeds will benefit the Winnetka Community House’s operational budget.

“She is twice as engaged and three time more productive than anyone I know,” Greenough said of Holland. “Since the 1970s she’s been a continuous volunteer, and she is just unstoppable.” Greenough will co-chair the Governors’ Ball with Raheela Gill Anwar, Joan Evanich, Carol Hansen and Pam Westin.

“Louise is the most generous, hard-working, tireless, fearless, kind and welcoming person I know,” Evanish said. “She has a strong history of volunteering in the village, and she was the logical choice to be honored this year.”

Holland joined the Winnetka Community House’s Women’s Board in 1978 and was president when they launched the Modernism Show. She also worked with the Board of Governors on the organization’s 100th anniversary celebration, during which 54 oversized polyurethane stars were decorated and stationed throughout the community before their auction.

“There aren’t many community houses nationwide that aren’t tax supported — ours is all based on private donations — and to be 100 years old is a wonderful thing,” Holland said. “All kinds of wonderful things happened within these walls. The North Shore Art League, the Hadley School for the Blind and the North Shore Senior Center were among those groups that were incubated at the Community House because they had the space. This building should survive, and I’ve always wanted to give my time to keep it going. Hopefully, it will be here for another 100 years.”

Holland also served nine years with the Village Board, including a turn as Village President.

“While she was president, town was quiet and lots of great things got done,” recalled Greenough, who succeeded Holland on the Village Board. “There was the rewrite of our comprehensive plan, the Elm Street Bridge was rehabbed, and the Public Works buildings were rehabbed. And then when she retired from the Village Board, she popped up as president of the Historical Society.”

During Holland’s tenure there, the collection was moved to a new building, and the Schmidt-Burnham Log House was acquired and moved to its present location in Crow Island Woods. Holland worked to have the cabin — and the Winnetka Community House, at a separate time — listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

“There is a level of sophistication and complexity in the Historical Society’s projects; on a scale of 1-10, most are an 11,” Greenough said. “But somehow she and the others navigated through them elegantly and with a minimum of drama. It takes a lot of persistence, and she’s got it.”

Holland said the acquisition and relocation of the log cabin was an important mission shared by a dedicated team of volunteers with whom she was honored to work.

“Classes are coming from all over the Chicago area to see the house. It was important to save it and turn it into a learning tool for children and adults alike, and it was a fun time for the volunteers to have that kind of a goal and achieve it,” she recalled.

YOur FIrst LuxurY HOme If you’ve decided to relocate into a luxury home and you’ve made an excellent choice.

But quite possibly, you’re wondering where to begin. You may be astounded by the amenities and in need of a guide. Agents who are experienced in the average home market might not be quite suitable for your needs. The luxury home market is different in that there are different things to consider.

Take your time. As a first time buyer of a luxury home, you should ask your agent for their advice. After your Realtor® has narrowed down the possibilities for you, previewed the homes and is ready to show you what they consider suitable, take your time on the walk through.

Focus on the detail. These properties are immense, so be prepared for a walk through that will take at minimum of two hours to properly see all the amenities; it can often take even longer. This is an important decision to make—let your first luxury in your new home be that of time and consideration.

Life is a Bowler of cherries at Woodlands ■ by angelika labno

Although all the women in her family had attended the school, Kelly Bowler was hesitant about enrolling at Woodlands Academy.

She was a quiet girl who never imagined being active on campus, let alone considering a run for president of Woodlands Academy Council of Representatives (WACOR), the main student governing body.

It turns out an all-girls school was what Bowler needed to shine.

“Within the first meeting of WACOR, I got a vibe that was so unexplainable,” said the junior. “I fell in love with the idea that I could make such a wonderful place even better.”

“I fell in love with the idea that I could make such a wonderful place even better.” |Kelly Bowler

Bowler has jumped into various campus activities and organizations, such as baking club. liturgical choir and campus ministry. Involvement in athletics — volleyball and soccer — taught Bowler how to better communicate with people by interpreting body language. Off campus, she continues to volunteer at Bernie’s Book Bank in Lake Forest.

“I grew up on books and didn’t watch much TV, so being able to give back to kids who don’t have books at all is an amazing feeling,” said Bowler.

Out of all of her activities, Bowler is most interested in her school’s newly created media group, WAM, since she’d like to pursue marketing in college. The group of girls works with the school’s marketing team to offer a student perspective.

Recently, Bowler was one of eight junior selected to partake in KAIROS, a four-day retreat in Chicago. The leader-in-training will become a senior leader for next year’s retreat.

“I’m looking forward to being a senior and be able to hand down my wisdom to my underclassmen,” Bowler said.

As for her plan of running for WACOR president, Bowler already has an initiative in mind: to create more bonding opportunities between all four classes of boarding school students and “day” students.

Although the students see each other in classes and clubs, Bowler wants to establish activities outside of school, such as a Saturday morning breakfast-and-movie session.

“I’d love to create more opportunities to get out of the classroom and experience the many cultures we have on campus,” she said. Woodlands is a member of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools spanning 41 countries.

Reflecting upon the last three years, Bowler’s favorite experience is surprisingly simple. Her most cherished moments are the free class periods when the whole grade of 40 girls gets together for an activity like pajama movie day.

“I love my all-girls education — I don’t have to worry about putting makeup on in the morning,” she said with a laugh. ■

New gallery is ‘a museum with price tags’ ■ by sheryl devore

Growing up in Philadelphia, Arthur Feldman says everywhere he and his family went turned into a history lesson, a study of artifacts with stories behind them.

They’d visit the Betsy Ross house or Benjamin Franklin’s burial ground — and of course, the Liberty Bell. They’d also go inside towering cathedrals, teeming with decorative relics.

“I was always imbued with fine art,” says Feldman.

Now, after directing and curating museums here and abroad, he’s returned to Highland Park to open a new gallery, the Arthur M. Feldman Judaica Gallery at 465 Roger Williams Ave. Feldman, former curator of the Fenwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute, previously ran a gallery of antiques and fine art in downtown Highland Park and is also wellknown for his tenure as the director of the Museum at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies in Chicago.

He calls his new gallery “a museum with price tags.” He invites patrons to look and learn and then perhaps discover a piece they might cherish in their family as they celebrate Jewish traditions. He hopes to broaden their knowledge of Jewish culture and history.

Walk into his gallery and he’ll take you on a tour of cases in which antique, vintage and contemporary pieces are displayed. They include brass menorahs; silver cups made in Israel, Germany and Poland; silver spice containers – some in the shape of architectural wonders – and an assortment of candle holders that can accommodate families of different sizes for their Sabbath rituals. Feldman also has a world-class collection of Hanukkah lamps.

“There’s education that goes with each piece.

Every object has a story,” Feldman says.

He particularly enjoys talking about the history of the spice containers.

“The containers bring another level to the observance of the Sabbath from sundown to sundown on Saturdays. At conclusion of Sabbath, you light a special candle, take wine and recite a prayer. Then you pass around a container filled with spices, letting the sweetness of the Sabbath linger and looking toward the opening of a sweet, new week.”

Spices, being especially valuable centuries ago, were kept safely in containers, which were then used on Sabbath. The containers were often miniature replicas of towers, giving a sense of the architectural taste of, for example, the 17th and 18th centuries in Prague, Feldman says.

“I am very happy he has returned,” says Maia Labow, a Highland Park resident.

“There’s no other Jewish gallery like this.

Arthur manages to find the most beautiful things.”

Over the years, Labow has purchased Yiddish cups and candlesticks from Feldman, and she recently bought a photograph taken in Israel by Arthur’s wife, Laurel Feldman.

“I just bought a beautiful old book about an Israeli painter. This is a real find. He has things you cannot find anywhere else,” Labow says.

Feldman returned to Highland Park after working for five years as director of the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa, Okla. His gallery is also home of the Jewish Museum of Chicago, which features Jewish-themed exhibitions, including one continuing through April 16. He has commissioned professional Chicago area artists to create Purim masks.

Patio takes center stage during spring at Williams ■ by sheryl devore

The winter chill has lingered into spring, but Brett Williams is ready — not only to entertain outdoors at his Highland Park home but also to sell a fresh batch of patio furniture and accessories at Williams Ski and Patio in Highland Park, where he works as creative director for advertising and sales.

Winter skis and poles are gone, replaced by propane- and ethanol-powered fire pits, furniture made from weather-resistant materials, all colors and styles of sun umbrellas and a top-of-the-line Tuuci marine-grade umbrella – sturdy enough to withstand the windiest spring and summer storms.

Williams Ski and Patio, family-owned since 1875, has kept up with the trends — and these days, it’s all about the outdoor room, an extension to the home. Fullyupholstered couches, sectionals, comfortable chairs — homeowners want to feel like they’re inside when they’re outside, says Williams.

In 1875, Brett’s great-great grandfather Adolph Williams opened T. Williams and Sons at 44 W. Randolph in Chicago, to sell awnings and buggy tops. When the family moved the business to Oak Park, it was mostly awnings, says Brett’s father, Mark, president of Williams Ski and Patio.

But in the late 1940s and early 1950s, suburbia got hooked on patios and sunrooms – and the Williams business followed, eventually moving to Highland Park in 1969. The company also began selling ski

equipment in the winter, to keep the business going year-round.

Back then, a home’s outdoor spaces were mostly bedecked with wrought-iron furniture or basic aluminum-frame furniture with vinyl strapping, Mark says.

But now it’s the 21st century — and so many more possibilities exist to turn outdoor patios and three season rooms into places to entertain, relax and even enjoy a fire without the smoke.

“There’s been a big proliferation of designs and more advanced manufacturing techniques so that furniture is much more intricate and a lot more comfortable,” Mark says, adding that wicker “has really taken off with the advent of synthetic materials.

“Besides the materials and the designs, what’s really changed is the number of pieces that are available. Once you could only buy a dining chair and two different sized tables — and a chaise lounge — and maybe an end table. That was it.

“Now, you have all kinds of different seating options with lounging, comfortable chairs, love seats, sofas, you have five to 10 different table sizes you can pick.”

And forget the campfire — that’s too much work. Customers are opting for propane fire pits, made in different sizes in contemporary and traditional styles.

This season, Brett is introducing a new firepit that burns off ethanol.

“It can actually be used indoors, but it’s designed to be outside,” he says. “It’s something new and exciting, and it’s clean burning.”

One traditional product will never go out

“It’s one of the most popular items around Father’s Day,” Brett says. “It’s still

Showcasing films is child’s play for movie expert ■ by david sweet For decades, children in the United States flocked to matinees, afternoon movies put out by Walt Disney Co. and others appropriate for youngsters.

In the 1970s, Milos Stehlik — a Czechoslovakian native who had moved to Chicago — became worried that the genre was disappearing. He co-founded Facets Multi-Media, created to show good films to children.

Classics like “Heidi,” “The Red Balloon” and others were featured. Traveling to daycare centers, hospitals and elsewhere, Facets measured how kids reacted to certain films, which gave it information for a study involving movies suited for young children.

But as the 1980s dawned, Stehlik found no new children’s films being distributed. He knew great movies for youngsters were being made in Europe and elsewhere, but he was unsure how to access them.

Thus was born the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival. Live-action and animated Milos Stehlik feature films, shorts, documentaries and child-produced works have all been screened at Facets Cinema on Fullerton Avenue and at other venues. Not only can children (often from poor areas of the city) see excellence in filmmaking, they can judge it too, handing out awards to the best among works chosen today from more than three dozen countries.

“The films need to be told from a child’s point of view. They need to be empowering and spark the child’s imagination,” explains Stehlik, sharing the principles on which the annual festival — which has drawn more than 500,000 visitors over 30 years — is based upon. “These films help engender positive, emotional and social values that are the values missing so much in commercial cinema. It should not be pablum like Sponge Bob.” Stehlik is passionate about the decline in standards in preteen movies.

“Something very evil started happening in the last 20-30 years,” he says. “They needed language that translated across the global market. There are a lot of violent acts — how dispassionately these violent acts are portrayed. Often they have no consequence — hence you can relate it to the great

increase in bullying and cyberbullying.”

One of Stehlik’s goals is to turn the passive experience of filmmaking into an active experience. A Facets’ session helps kids look at films critically, assessing, for instance, the dramatic choices a character makes.

“They look at these issues so they don’t just walk away from films blindsided,” he says. “We help kids understand the language, the syntax so they can be better communicators.”

Facets offers a number of year-round opportunities for children to get involved in cinema. A film camp introduces kids ages 7-14 to the techniques, language and process of filmma k ing. Facets F i lm Ambassadors Program gives teens an opportunity to represent Facets at film festivals in India, Canada, and elsewhere as part of youth juries.

Stehlik’s next frontier is online. illustration by barry blitt Facets Kids (http:// facetskids.facets. org) is a new movie streaming app, presenting independent films from around the world. Kids can watch and respond to short and feature-length films.

Growing up in Czechoslovokia, Stehlik says he was not obsessed with film or cinema — but he did embrace movies that made one think, from French New Wave to those directed by Milos Forman. His thoughts on film can be heard on Worldview, an international affairs program on WBEZ. It has been a great run for Facets, which maintains a Netflix-like movie-rental library of 65,000 DVDs. But as a non-profit, it faces challenges.

“Raising funds is always an issue,” says Stehlik, whose group enjoys grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Chicago Community Trust, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and others.

But the wealth of movies created each year means the future holds promise.

“There is so much great film, the possibilities are endless,” he says. “There are always so many great movies you haven’t seen.” ■

Stehlik bringing films to North Shore ■ by jake jarvi This month, Milos Stehlik will bring some of the best short films from the last few years of Chicago International Children’s Film Festival to the Gorton Community Center in Lake Forest.

“Two years ago, we had an event at Gorton called Gorton’s Big Think, where residents could let us know where they saw Gorton going in the future,” says Mercedes Logan, program director at the Gorton Community Center. “They told us they’d like to see more children’s programs, entertainment, and film. [CIFF] has enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of children throughout the Chicago area with the art of film.

“This is a great opportunity

for us. Through these films, we’re really hoping to inspire children and grandchildren in the Gorton community.”

It was through participation on the committee of the Boo! Bash, a fundraiser for Facets, that Lake Forest resident Elizabeth Pruett first thought of bringing Stehlik to Gorton.

“When I grew up in Lake Forest, we had our own movie theater uptown,” says Pruett.

“I’ve always felt that was a missing piece to our community and thought this was the perfect way to fill that hole.

“Milos is internationally renowned and respected for what he’s achieved in the media arts world. For us to have a first-class media arts program with education and positive

reinforcement of values and humor, it is the very best way to showcase the positive aspects of film in our community.”

The film programs will take place at 4 p.m. on Sundays — April 6, April 13, and April 27.

They’ll feature a range of short films in various lengths, some live-action and some animated.

They’ll include films from all over the world, including the Academy Award-winning animated short The Gruffalo, which introduced the now-beloved children’s character. Each program is under 80 minutes in length, and a light dinner reception follows each screening.

For more information, visit the Programs tab of the Gorton Community Center website at gortoncenter.org. ■

‘It’s just been inside me, a passion for cooking’

where I lived. That was the beginning of the demise.

Years cooking? 16, 17 years. For the most part, I’ve Michael Gottleib is the chef at Bistro Bordeaux in Evanston. worked 40 hours since I was 16. It’s just been inside me, How did you start cooking? My uncle is a chef. Even a passion for cooking. though we didn’t live together, my first memory of makBest recipe tweak? Sometimes the basic recipe is the ing food is with him. That’s the first place it really started. best thing. Basic doesn’t mean boring. Basic is basic. Like, I was maybe eight or 10. a pizza — tomatoes, cheese, and basil. That’s pretty basic.

I also went to an overnight camp; we did a lot of camp- There are good versions, and there are bad versions. ing trips and we had to eat, so I was always volunteering Signature dish? The last restaurant I worked at I had to help — mainly because I got to use a pocketknife, but a grilled Lake Michigan whitefish with braised red quiI did like it. That’s where the gears got turning. noa and baby spinach, with a Meyer lemon-thyme beurre When I was 13, the Food Network — I’d watch it and I blanc. That was our signature dish. I have that in my had a moment of clarity: this is what I wanted to do. I got repertoire — the sauce is great. It’s always in the back of a job working at a little Italian joint down the street from my mind.

I feel like no chef should really have a signature dish. If I just rest on my signature dish, then I’m not improving. I’m just resting on my laurels. I really don’t like to go back in time Michael Gottleib and re-use dishes. I try to always push forward and do something that I’ve never done.

Favorite cuisine to make? I really like simple foods — few ingredients, not much but seasoning properly with salt and pepper. Really let everything stand on its own. I do enjoy the farm-to-table movement and American contemporary, pretty food on the plate with unique ingredients. But there’s something special about cooking basic French food, like I am now.

What do you like to eat at home? Storebought $1.50 pizza. I don’t want to cook when I get home. I hate to say, but a lot of chefs like junk food. I eat a lot of candy.

Worthwhile gadget? I would say an immersion circulator. Sous vide cooking is where you vacuum-seal food with seasonings, and you use the immersion circulator to heat and circulate water to an extremely accurate temperature. Place the bag in the water and cook it — there’s a lot to it, but you’re basically slow-cooking the food.

Favorite cookbook? I have about 200 cookbooks. I like “The Modernist Cuisine,” it’s amazing — there’s like 2,500 pages of pure knowledge. Knowledge is power, and I’ve learned a lot from cookbooks.

Favorite fruit or vegetable? I’m in love with fennel. It’s a magical vegetable.

Funniest or most memorable kitchen incident?

I was working at a restaurant, and the salesperson for a company brought in her meat people so we could do a tasting. I think they were there right when I was setting up the kitchen. As I was wilmette, ravinia, Northfield, Nettlehorst, buffalo grove, grayslake, walking down the line, my pants caught the door daley Plaza, federal Plaza, & independence Park handle of the refrigerator and ripped all the way market Pickup or upick out down the leg. I had to staple my pants shut. I couldn’t believe it happened. It was pretty funny.

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Come ShamRock for FHC photography by larry miller

The luck of the Irish was strong with the parents, alumni, faculty and supporters of Saints Faith Hope and Charity during the school’s Third Annual Blarney Bash, a St. Patrick’s Day celebration that featured dinner, dancing, drink, and live and silent auction.

More than 300 took over the church and gym, as The Shannon Rovers bagpipers led the procession from the mass to the party.

Irish dancers served as the entertainment, while guests bid on the live auction items like a golden retriever puppy and the chance to shoot the puck at a Blackhawks game.

Proceeds from the event went toward supplementing the tuition, teacher salaries, and technology of the Winnetka-based school. Co-chairs were Britt Callahan, Jen Cunningham, Colette LeBrun, Megan Ratke, Ann Reger, and Bevin Skoglund. faithhopeschool.org

The Golden Age of Hollywood GLASA Gala photography by robin subar

More than 200 supporters poured into Fields BMW in Northfield to celebrate the Great Lake Adaptive Sports Association’s (GLASA) annual gala, celebrating the “Golden Age of Hollywood.” Guests enjoyed an evening of cocktails and food stations, all supplied by local restaurants, caterers, and celebrity chefs.

Honorary chairs were U.S. Olympian Matt Grevers and U.S. Paralympian Alyssa Gialamas, who both spent the evening mingling with the crowd. Stephanie Cook of Lake Forest served as chair for the event. Bob Swanson, GLASA athlete, spoke on the organization’s influence in his life. The night raised more than $65,000, going to GLASA’s ability to provide year-round, daily adaptive sports programming, as well as providing financial assistance to GLASA athletes in the form of the Athlete Scholarship Fund. glasa.org

Solberg … so good

High-scoring forward a steady force during NT Green’s wondrous season ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Two-sport athlete Matt Solberg of New Trier has seven things on his mind and not one of them has anything to do with either hockey or lacrosse.

The senior is interested in traveling the world and checking out certain sites.

“The Seven Wonders,” said Solberg, who has been to Canada, Mexico and Germany and might visit Africa this summer with his family. “The Great Pyramid [of Egypt] — I’ve only seen photos of it.”

A wonderful thing at a local level was what Solberg, who fittingly wore No. 77, and his New Trier Green hockey teammates accomplished at the United Center on March 20: a second straight Amateur Hockey Association Illinois state championship and the program’s 12th. Solberg provided the assist on Brent Segvich’s opening goal in the 2-1 defeat Glenbrook North.

“I loved playing for all of my teammates all year,” the 6-foot, 165-pound forward said.

“I thought at the beginning of the year we’d win a lot of games and the state championship. And that’s what we did.”

Solberg was highly productive for NT Green (36-9-1) in 2013-14, leading the squad in goals (38) and assists (34) and earning all-state honors.

His stats for Green last year: 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 games.

Solberg played for New Trier Blue because NT Green boasted a surplus of offensive weapons.

“I was mad at first,” Solberg admitted.

“But I got over it. It was great and fun playing for Blue. I progressed as a player.”

He was a captain and one of only two seniors on Green this winter, meaning a whopping 18 returners will get to shoot for a third straight state championship next year under coach Bob Melton. But Solberg

will be missed.

“Matt meant a lot to our team this year,” Green junior goaltender Jack Junge said.

“He provided so much energy for us, pumping us up with his speeches before games and during huddles. He’s fast, with great vision, and his hands — they’re the best.

“Matt,” he added, “could dangle through anyone, get by any defenseman.”

It looked like NT Green would fail to get past Providence Catholic for most of a state semifinal in Bensenville on March 16. PC led 2-0 late in the second period before Green tallied three unanswered goals and advanced with a 3-2 victory at The Edge West.

“That win,” Solberg said, “was bigger than the state championship win. Providence was good, very good … at everything. Providence had a great defense and two amazing lines on offense.”

Solberg didn’t hide his emotions afterward, thoroughly thrilled about the chance to dangle before fervent fans and skate where Chicago Blackhawks skate 41 times every winter.

“I’d never seen him so happy,” Junge said.

“The passion he had for hockey and for playing for our team, it was there, all there. Matt showed how much hockey meant to him.”

Solberg has a thing for lacrosse, too, having played for the state runner-up last spring. The middie and the rest of the Trevians departed for a five-game spring break tour of Michigan and Ohio last weekend.

Host NT (1-1) lost 10-7 to highly regarded Brother Rice (Mich.) the day before spring break.

“I’m on a line with good shooters,” Solberg said, adding a couple of his roles for the perennial state contender include feeding passes to those shooters and picking up ground balls.

Solberg’s father, Tor, played football, hockey and lacrosse when the North Shore

was home to two New Triers. Tor suited up for New Trier East teams and skated for Colgate University’s hockey team. Two of his strengths as a hockey player were great hands and a quick shot.

“He was a stud, I’m very grateful (for his DNA), and he’s inspired me when it comes to sports,” said Matt, whose sister, sophomore Mia Solberg, plays field hockey, ice hockey and lacrosse at NT. (She also emerged as a state champion ice hockey player last month).

Their older brother, Gunnar, is a sophomore and club hockey member at the University of Denver.

The Solbergs’ backyard features a 114’-by40’ ice rink, an ideal site for intense 3-on-3 hockey battles.

“When it’s cold out, that’s where I like to be,” said Matt, whose future as a college athlete depends on where he’ll attend. “When it’s warm out I’m usually at a beach in my free time, paddle boarding.”

But he’d gladly trade a paddle for a safari hat this summer, because that would mean his family’s trip to Africa got the green light.

“The chance to see animals over there — that’s what I’d be excited to do more than anything else,” Solberg said. ■

Mr. Scholl’s feat: team-high 36 goals for 37-win LA Gold ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Polar vortex? Bring it on. Raw, windy, snow-logged below-zero temperatures days?

Just what he prefers.

“I like the feeling of being cold,” Loyola Academy senior Zach Scholl said. “It makes you feel like you’re on an ice rink.”

Which is where Scholl spends pretty much all his time in the winter. Not only was he a captain, leading scorer and all-state selection for Loyola Academy, but when he wasn’t playing for the school you could often find him playing lake hockey just outside his house.

Scholl, a rink’s rat rink’s rat, scored 36 goals and had 29 assists for the Loyola Gold (37-22-2) that advanced to the state semifinals.

“He’s always had a good shot, but this year he had more velocity on it; he could fill up the net so to speak,” Ramblers coach D.J. Lavarre said. “He figured things out as a junior, and he really dedicated himself to a rigorous weight program going into his senior year. That helped him on the ice; he

was more of a physical presence and went out and had a great year.”

Scholl added 20 pounds of his muscle to his 6-foot-2 frame and played the season at about 185 pounds.

“I was one of the bigger kids in the league this year,” he said. “I think the biggest advantage it gave me was that I was able to protect the puck better.”

Scholl was also motivated to prepare diligently for this season because of his role as a team co-captain.

“I wanted to be someone kids looked up to,” he said.

Scholl had four hat tricks in the 2013-14 season. The sweetest was probably the one against Stevenson, when his three goals powered the Ramblers to a 4-3 victory.

“I liked the pressure of being part of big games,” he said.

Scholl had an easy chemistry with his line’s center, senior Axel Lifvendahl.

“We’ve played together so much over the years that we always had a sense of where we were on the ice,” Scholl said. “It was nice

He shoots, he… : Senior all-stater Zachary Scholl (far right) pumped in 36 goals and dished 29 assists for Loyola Gold. photography by jon durr

to play with him because if you gave him the puck, it was most likely going into the net. This season, he would pick his spots and became a more (efficient) goal scorer.”

While the team fell short of its ultimate goal of winning a state championship, the Ramblers’ season was better than many had anticipated. Goaltender was a big question

mark at the start of the year as sophomore Nicholas Bolino and junior Devin O’Brien each lacked any substantial varsity experience. By the end of the season, the play in goal was a strength and this should also be the case for at least the next two years.

“We played well in a lot of our games,” Scholl said. “It was a fun season.” ■

THe North shore weekend

4/05 – 4/06/14

‘Craft’-y competitor Kucera fashioned a stellar career with Ramblers ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com A day after his final game as a Loyola Academy basketball player, senior Kevin Kucera looked at his two best friends, fellow guards Jack Morrissey and James Clarke, and wondered exactly what they wondered: “What do we do now?”

The three seniors had just turned in their uniforms at the school and had a hard time entering a zone bereft of organized basketball on March 19.

“I wanted to keep mine,” admitted the lefthanded Kucera, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound guard who averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and two steals per game for one of the best teams (25-6) in program history.

“But it was time,” the Evanston resident added. “Time to let go.”

Count on the fans of the Ramblers to hold on to the countless fond memories of the 2013-2014 season, in which LA captured the program’s third sectional championship before falling 58-32 to eventual Class 4A state champion Whitney Young at the Chicago State University Supersectional on March 18.

Loyola inducts Hall of Fame teams, and the one Kucera directed this winter is a lock to receive such recognition years from now.

“It’ll be great, coming back to the school in 10, 15 years and getting together with the guys and looking back at what we did this season,” said Kucera. “Our team this year had such good chemistry. The seniors were close and the juniors fit in perfectly.

Nobody felt like an outcast at any point in the season.”

Kucera was the backup point guard to Clarke when the two were sophomores on varsity. He’d play four quarters in each sophomore game in the 2011-12 season and then suit up for the ensuing varsity game.

“I mostly sat and learned during varsity games,” Kucera called. “That was fine with me because James was a phenomenal point guard.”

The next season Ramblers coach Tom Livatino shifted Clarke to the “two” guard, deployed Kucera at the point and continued to let Morrissey do his thing as a productive “three” player.

They repeated their respective roles this winter.

But Kucera, a stalwart defensive player

since his first day as a Rambler, had added dimensions to his game in the offseason, notably a consistent ability to score from outside when he wasn’t blowing by perimeter and post players on relentless drives to the basket.

Coaches noticed and acted, naming Kucera to the Illinois Basketball Coaches

Association all-state team (honorable mention).

“Kevin kept improving as the season went on,” Morrissey said. “He was a huge part of our success and a fantastic leader. And he got us going before every game.

“Kevin was unselfish and a coach on the floor for us,” he added.

“He was,” Clarke said, “the motor of our team, a guy who gave it his all every game.”

The guy came through in a big way at the end of a 60-59 defeat of visiting St. Viator on Feb. 1, knifing through Lions to hit the game-winning bucket on a driving layup with 3.3 seconds left.

Missing a free throw in a game was unacceptable to him. Shortly after a miss, Kucera — minus the ball — would often shoot an “air free throw” or two while walking near a free-throw line during a stoppage in play.

This winter Kucera was Illinois’ prep version of Ohio State senior Aaron Craft, a tireless point guard who never took a play off for the Buckeyes. Kucera took 16 charges, averaged 5.7 deflections per game and finished with a sturdy and steady 3-to-1 assist-toturnover ratio in 2013-14 — numbers Craft would applaud resoundingly.

As would any coach.

“Kevin gets it and understands the big picture, in addition to being a leader with tremendous character,” Livatino said.

The brother of former LA point guard Brian Kucera (LA, ’09) is looking at a number of colleges for his next stop as a hoopster, including Washington (Mo.) University, Rochester, Navy, DePauw, Denison and Division II schools.

“Now that basketball is over I’ll focus more on my studies and take a week off to let my body rest,” Kucera said a day after the supersectional loss to Young. “Then I’ll be right back in a gym, playing basketball with my friends and working on my game.

“I want to work on a bunch of things, like my mid-range shooting and finishing better around the rim. I also want to get stronger and fine-tune other parts of my game.” ■

THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

With Kevin Reiterman & Bill McLean

Stick Nation

Girls Lacrosse Lake Forest: Junior middie Katie Karahalios has verbally committed to USC. She earned all-state (honorable mention) status last spring as the Scouts reached a supersectional in the state playoffs. Karahalios, senior middie Emily George and sophomore attack Elaina Tsarwhas each scored four goals in LF’s 17-2 season-opening defeat of Vernon Hills on March 19.

The Rundown

Indoor Track Loyola: T he fou rsome of Kathryn House, Sarah Kelley, Jackie McDonnell and Caroline Zaworski claimed runner-up honors in the girls 4x400 meter relay (9:31.94) at the Class 3A Illinois Top Times Championships at Illinois Wesleyan on March 29. Hoffman Estates took first in 9:30.51.

In the boys meet, L A’s Christian Swenson claimed fourth in the 3200 meters (9:32.02).

Slapshots

Boys Hockey Highland Park: Senior Noah Pickus was a scoring machine.

The all-stater tallied 56 goals and added 39 assists this season for the 31-11-6 Giants. The Miami of Ohio-bound forward completed his four-year varsity career with 139 goals.

Meanwhile, this Sean Freeman-coached squad figures to be in good shape for the future. Sophomore forward David Shapiro finished the season with 42 goals and 17 assists, while classmate Gavin Proeh had 28 goals and 18 assists.

Freeman also will build around forward Kieran Jagadeesh (14 goals, 25 assists) and defenseman Andrew Krug. Jagadeesh is considered one of the best penalty killers in the league.

Lake Forest: The first line of Tom Ward (19 goals, 18 assist), Charlie Sullivan (18 goals, 25 assist) and Matt Moderwell (21 goals, 9 assists) was very productive this winter.

That trio, along with defenders John Moderwell and Max Yauch and goalie Jay Baker, helped LF to a winning record (13-10-4). The team outscored its opponents 111-99.

According to coach John Murphy, freshman Sam Yauch is a player to watch next season along with Sullivan, Baker and Matt Moderwell.

Girls Hockey Lake Forest: Senior allstater Anna Bleck wound up leading the Scouts (18-9-1) in scoring with 36 points. She had a team-high 26 goals to go along with 10 assists.

Junior Mary Claire Newtown, who earned all-state honors along with senior Caroline Knop, was second on the team in goals (17) and points (26).

Chandler Scoco led LF in assists (11) and wound up with

25 points. Nina Wilson finished with 17 points.

Corynn Salazar was solid in goal: 262 saves and a 1.00 goals against average. Lilly Bianchi had 89 saves.

LF, which tied Lake Forest Academy for first place in the Founders Division, lost to Latin in a state quarterfinal.

Loyola/New Trier: Being on championship teams is nothing new to Carla Pentimore.

In 2011, she was a member of the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team which claimed a national title.

On March 20, the 2007 LA graduate celebrated a state title … as an assistant coach for rival New Trier. She was on the bench when NT topped her alma mater 3-2 in double overtime at the United Center.

Pentimore is not the only exRambler coaching high school girls hockey in the Chicago area. Gia Puch is the head coach at Lake Forest Academy, while Maggie Tyska is an assistant.

Courtney and Claire O’Connor are co-head coaches at Latin School in Chicago.

Circling the Bases

Baseball Lake Forest: Cal Coughlin, an LF resident who attends Carmel Catholic, is the No. 1 player in the class of 2016, according to the Prep Baseball Report. Coughlin, who plays his club ball with Top Tier, pitches and plays third base. The righthander has been clocked at 92 miles per hour.

At the College Level

Women’s Hockey Williams College: Former Lake Forest Academy standout Natalie Bernstein played a role in her team’s success this winter. For the first time in school history, Williams won the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) championship. The Ephs finished the season 15-103. Bernstein, a Kenilworth resident, appeared in all 28 games and finished with two goals and seven assists.

Spreading the Word

Snowboarding Lake Forest: Elle Requa has qualified to the 25th annual USASA National Championships, which are being held in Cooper Mountain from March 29 through April 8. She qualified in four Menehune Girls (10-11) events: Halfpipe, Banked Slalom, Slopestyle and GS.

Courtside

Girls Badminton New Trier: Cece Bishop, Tristan Peters, Ying Han and Leah Fessler are off to fine starts. Bishop and Peters are 3-0 at first doubles, while Han and Fessler are undefeated at second doubles.

The Trevians are 3-0 in the young season, recording victories against Evanston15-3, Deerfield 13-5 and Maine East 16-2.

Poolside

Boys Water Polo Loyola: The Ramblers (8-2) used a balanced scoring attack to score a 14-6 victory over visiting Brother Rice on March 26. Tom Baker, George Finn, Ragen Murphy, Jack Nickele and Cameron Shewchuck tallied two goals each.

On March 24, the host Ramblers downed St. Patrick 10-6. Finn came up with three goals, while Murphy, Nickele and Shewchuck had two goals each.

Shewchuck scored three goals in the team’s 9-7 victory over Stevenson on March 18.

Andrew Hodur and Nickele had two goals apiece. And Murphy scored four times in a 19-0 win over Mt. Carmel on March 17.

Volleys

Boys Volleyball Loyola: Pepperdine recruit David Wieczorek has been a standout for Ramblers. He had 19 kills and three aces in LA’s 25-17, 25-23 win over New Trier on March 25.

On March 28, Wieczorek came up with 11 kills in a 25-17, 25-18 victory over Evanston.

Jack Talaga had 16 assists.

Hard at Play

Bocce Ball Highwood: Jose Botto and Jason Wisniewski (Palazzo Di Bocce#1) took first place in the 2-Man Bocce Tournament at Highwood on March 22. Team Giannotti — Lio Giannotti and Tom Pignatari — earned runner-up honors. Team Moretti — Bruno Moretti and Giuliano Chesia — placed fourth behind Palazzo Di Bocce #2 (Steve Trochim and Sal Lini).

Tip of the Cap

Boys Lacrosse Lake Forest: The Scouts will host a “Shoot-a-thon” at the LF Varsity Field on April 12 (2 p.m.) to raise money for the HEADstrong Foundation (HF).

It will precede LF’s game against Benilde-St. Margaret’s High School of St. Louis Park, Minn.

HF is committed to being a resource for blood cancer patients and their families, helping them navigate the harrowing ordeal of cancer by sharing experiences, lending guidance and providing essential services with emphasis placed on sustaining and improving quality of life during the process.

In addition to the team’s Shoot-a-thon fundraiser, the Scouts have designated their May 16 game against Hinsdale Central as a “HEADstrong Green Out” game, to help generate further awareness of the HEADstrong Foundation and the fight against blood cancer.

The Scouts will take the field wearing HF’s iconic lime green shoelaces and other HF accessories. Game time is 6:30 p.m. at LFHS’s Varsity Field. ■

perfect weekend

THe North shore weekend 4/05 – 4/06/14

For Joe and Karen, Second City is No. 1

They have traveled the world.

But when it comes to a perfect weekend for Glencoe residents Karen and Joe Roddy and their four children, nothing beats Chicago.

“We really think Chicago has everything — and then some,” says Karen.

On Friday night, once Joe leaves work in the city, they often prefer to eat at Twin Anchors Restraurant & Tavern in Old Town.

“They have the best ribs,” Karen says. “It’s very casual. It’s been around forever.”

After spending the night at The Peninsula or at The Four Seasons, they will walk by the lake and then — if children Fitz, Quinn, Gavin and Aubrey are with them — head to either The Art Institute or to the Chicago History Museum.

“We think The Art Institute has the best collection in the world,” notes Karen. “The modern wing is fantastic. Our favorite at the Chicago History Museum is the miniatures collection — the Columbian Exposition, the Great Chicago Fire.”

In the summer, the Roddys will travel to Millennium Park and let the kids run around the fountain.

Says Karen, “All the things the tourists do, we love to do.”

Sunday brings services at Old St. Patrick’s Church and then brunch at Butch McGuire’s, where Karen and Joe often spent late nights when they were dating. Then it’s time to head home.

But the Roddys will return soon.

“We’re in love with this city,” Karen says. ■
