Glenview’s New Taproom Progressing BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
GLENVIEW — proposed craft brewery and taproom with family ties to Hackney’s took a step closer to reality in an unusual meeting of the Glenview Village Board of Trustees. The board took no formal vote on the request for a conditional use permit for Macushla Brewing at 1516 East Lake Avenue, but five of the six trustees told owner Mike Welch June 7 at Village Hall he would get their approval when they next meet June 21. The unusual legislative procedure came about because a final vote was scheduled June 7 but the matter was inadvertently left off the agenda and added later, according to Village President James Patterson. He said no vote could take place without violating the Open Meetings Act. “Since the petitioner is here we want to give him a hearing,”

FIRST-RATE SECOND HOMES BY BILL MCLEAN
A
North Shore resident sits in a car in a driveway, waiting for the rest of the family to enter the car. The car will soon head to the family’s second home, near a body of water, in Wisconsin. Or in Michigan. Or in Indiana. It is time to escape Illinois. “Your blood pressure goes down, almost immediately, as soon as you start the car,” says Mary Brennan, a realtor and lakefront specialist for @properties in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. “That’s one of the first benefits of owning a second home, feeling less stressful when you get there. You get to leave behind the nine million things that are going on in your hectic life and look forward to spending time with family and friends in a different environment.” Bettye Raglin, an associate broker at Coldwell BankerWinnetka, has been recharging herself at her family’s farmhouse in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, for some 30 years. She usually experiences her “Ahhh” moment as soon as the front of her car crosses the Illinois-Wisconsin border. “Life is slower up there, totally different,” Raglin says. At times, along the North

in the world would any family want to flee such surroundings to spend weeks or long weekends in another state? “It doesn’t matter how old you are,” says Roberta Miller, a sales professional and marketing
specialist at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff in Lake Forest. “When you go to your second home, it’s like you’re going to camp. It’s another setting, a fun one. It’s a place where you get to look at

LOVE & MARRIAGE
In Defense of Inspirational Quotes
Joanna Brown
I
f you read this space regularly, you’ll recall a short list of great quotes about marriage that I curated a few weeks ago. It was my one-woman rebellion against
the design advice I found online at Elle Décor’s website, an article titled “13 things a woman should never, ever have” in her home. In it, respected designers
warned readers against excessive frills (“it’s not sexy”), cheap bedding (“A refined woman should have nice linens”), and family photos by the bed (“not sexy”). But they also turned their noses up at inspirational quotes, calling them “self-help at a glance…a cry for help under every circumstance.” In drafting my rebuttal, I found one particular quote that especially spoke to me, from an unknown source: “Marriage is not a word, but a sentence.” Readers backed me up, and sent to my inbox a few quotes that I was previously unfamiliar with. Alexis, a Kenilworth business owner, sent this gem from lawyer and Civil War veteran Robert Green Ingersoll: “The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.” And Kathleen, from Lake Forest, called out this quote from children’s author and illustrator Robert McCloskey: “I know that
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so. —Robert Green Ingersoll you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” But the email that made me
laugh out of loud came from Northfield interior designer Patti Morrell. She’s been married for 40 years, raised four children and (with business partner Melinda Blake) decorated innumerable homes; she wrote with a confidence I dared not debate. “The cornerstone of my work is exactly the opposite of what was cited in Elle. When I begin a job, I seek to see the person, their sense of self and how I can help bring that together with great fabrics, colors and interiors — not the other way around! Quotes, pictures of our loved ones, things we value in life… what else could be more important? You have to start there if the living space is to be authentic. Life does not unfold in a showroom or a magazine; it unfolds in the walls of your home.” Further, Morrell admitted to having quotes taped to her refrigerator, tacked to her bulletin board, and scrawled on her blackboard. Her favorite is from Mar-

garet Mead: “If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.” Morrell summed up in a subsequent phone conversation why she so vehemently disagreed with the experts online. “People want to feel things, and our culture isn’t set up to do that all the time. Everyone has a story, and your interior should tell that story about you. I love working with couples who start in different corners of a room (design-wise), to bring them together, bring them to consensus. It’s not about ego; it’s about bridging the gap, what’s in your soul, and how can we bring that out in your home, because you want people who come into your home to be surrounded by it.” Contact Joanna Brown at joanna@northshoreweekend.com

brewing beer for people to enjoy at our tap room,” Welch said. “We’ll brew as much as we can in our space.” One difference between a taproom like Macushla and a brewpub is the food that can be served, according to Welch. A taproom is severely limited in what it can serve and he said he has no wish to put in a kitchen. “You have to offer food like jerky and pretzels because people are drinking,” Welch said. He also said in a previous DNS interview people can bring their own food and he will make it easy for them to order off Hackney’s menu. Before Welch could get the board’s approval, he had to persuade the trustees there would be sufficient parking when he turns the laundry into a taproom that can accommodate 97 people at one time. He said valet parking would be offered at the busier times. Karton wanted to know how Welch would modify the music so it would not disturb neighbors. He said the speakers were pointed inward toward the brewery. When it opens, Macushla will be the village’s second brewery and taproom after Ten Ninety opened in May.
Northbrook Farmers Market Returning
one of the vendors at the introductory table, Duda said. “A mom started this out in her home,” Duda said. “Part of our mission is to support new businesses and provide a place for them.” Cave Chick, a cookie baker, started at the introduction table last year, according to Duda. She said things went well enough then that this year the company will be at the market every other week. “We still have one spot available,” Duda said referring to the introduction table. Along with the fresh produce and other foods, the market offers an Explorers Club at the Market for children from 4 to 12, according to Duda. She said the children are encouraged on selected days starting in July to experience food they may not have tasted before. They get vouchers to try healthy items. “Our goal is educating the youngsters,” Duda said. “We want them to try special foods that are really healthy. Duda said she made one of her conditions for starting the market eight years ago offering a social purpose in addition to providing fresh food. “The vendors pack up what they don’t sell and it’s taken to the Northfield Township Food Pantry,” Duda said.
BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
NORTHBROOK — orthbrook’s Farmers Market opens its eighth season later this month with 10 new selections among the 27 vendors. “You want to have a balance between the old and the new,” said Dale Duda, the market’s manager, president of the private Northbrook Farmers’ Market Association and one of its founders. “You want to keep the old ones because people form an attachment but you want to stay fresh.” The market begins at 7 a.m. June 22 and continuing each Wednesday through October 19 in the parking lot at Cherry Lane and Meadow Road in downtown Northbrook. The market closes at 1 p.m. each day. As always, Duda said there will be a wide array of produce vendors like Sunny Harvest Farms, Walt Skibbe Farm and Wayne Miller Farm. All three have developed a following at suburban farmers’
N
markets. A complete listing of the market’s vendors and events is available on its website. Not all the produce and other farm products will be from traditional Northbrook Farmers’ Market vendors. Alden Hills Farms, an organic spread in Walworth, Wis., is new this year, according to Duda. Alden Hills brings more than produce, according to its website. It also sells meat and poultry along with its fruits and vegetables. All of it is organic in keeping with the company’s healthy food mission, according to the website. One thing Duda said she does to keep things fresh is provide the introduction table for newcomers. People get to come once a month, let customers know about their wares and develop enough of a following to appear more frequently in the future. Bits of Yum, a suburban bakery specializing in bread but offering selections like scones and muffins as well, according to its website, is
HOMES Cont. from PG 1 difference is that the second home feels so far away from your first home. You want your getaway place to feel that way.” New Buffalo, Michigan, is about a 75-minute drive from Chicago. Looking to get there in a speedboat? That also would take about 75 minutes. North Shore natives flock there, too, to get away, to decompress, to shed their hustle-bustle armor, to breathe. You have heard and seen those radio and television “Pure Michigan” commercials. They are soothing. Hypnotic. Liz Roch grew up in Glen Ellyn. She and her husband bought a second home in the Riviera neighborhood of New Buffalo Township. They now live and raise their children in New Buffalo. “It has the feel of an East Coast resort town,” Roch, an associate broker at @properties-New Buffalo, says. “A lot of towns [in southwest Michigan] have that, with the rocks and the grasses in certain places. It’s like a version of the Hamptons, in the Midwest. People say the color of the water up here — the greens they notice, the blues — reminds them of the Caribbean.” Roch figures the offseason population of New Buffalo, a Harbor Country town, is 3,000. The in-season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) population of the town balloons to 15,000, many of the second-home arrivals hailing from zip codes that start with “600.” North Shore denizens/fans of the Wolverine State also like to spend serious downtime at homes in Lakeside, St. Joe, Sawyer, Union Pier and Harbert.
Lake Geneva isn’t just a popular second hometown for countless North Shore residents because of its charm and unique shops and breath-yanking sunsets. It’s also close. Professionals from the North Shore do not have to devote half or more of the final day of their break to traveling; they can relax for another weekend night in the second home and commute to work on Monday morning. Twin Lakes, Lake Como and Whitewater are among the other Badger State towns responsible for emptying North Shore dwellings at this time of year. Richard O’Dwyer and his wife, Linda, along with his brother, John, Jr., own a cottage in Eagle River, Wisconsin, Northwoods Country. Richard, a native of Evanston, vacationed up there as a kid. Richard loved to boat and swim and waterski back then. Still does. Reliving one’s childhood — another perk for those in the delightful environs of a different state. “My dream is to spend an entire summer up there,” says Richard, a broker at @propertiesEvanston. “It enhances your life, getting away to a place like that, to a place without massive buildings that emit things. We have a dock up there, and when I run down it and dive off it, it’s the greatest feeling in the world.” Folks of all ages like to hit the lakefront in Michigan City, Indiana. The beach stretches two miles. Charles Stasukaitis, a broker at Coldwell BankerPorter County, Indiana, helps Chicago area folks find second homes in Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties in Indiana. He
describes Chesterton, a town in the Duneland area of Porter County, as “Mayberry-like.” A major appeal of purchasing a second home in Indiana is the state’s fiscal state. “Indiana,” Stasukaitis says, “has paid all of its bills, and there’s a constitutional property tax cap. Michigan City, it’s booming, cranking. Its downtown is turning into a town for artists. Everybody, it seems, is looking for a place to relax, to get healthy mentally, and a second home is that place for many.” “They want,” Coldwell Banker-Northbrook broker Emilia Salonikas says,” a little piece of heaven. Second homes are stable; children like stability. People want to build memories, family memories, at second homes.” “Second homes [in Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana] are close escapes,” says PK Johnson, associate broker at @propertiesBarrington/Chicago. “People get to press the ‘reset’ button there. A second home, like a lakeside house, ignites the senses.” Brennan, the @properties lakefront specialist in Lake Geneva, remembers a time when people worked 9-5, MondayFriday. They’d get home, eat dinner with the family, maybe watch some television. Tidy. Everybody used one of two phones in those days. The one on a wall or the one on a desk. Today? Different world. “It’s technology, 24/7,” Brennan says. “You’re always close to your own phone. You’re always in ‘the ready’ position. “People,” she adds, “like to go back in time. A second home, often, allows people to do that.”

Glenview House Blends Old and New

Modica freedom to create new menu items to keep things fresh. Modica said he does plenty of shopping for unique food items and experimenting with friends and family before a new dish makes the Glenview House menu. “We have a group of friends and we rotate houses for dinners,” Modica said of a gaggle of chefs who like to collaborate. “We give each other ideas and comments.” The alligator tostada was born after some shopping and at one of those get togethers, according to Modica. He said he was at a farmer’s market near his home and saw a meat vendor with a number of game selections. He bought some alligator meat. “I love alligator,” Modica said.
“I got it at a farmers’ market and I fell in love with it. It’s a white meat like chicken or pork so you can do a lot with it. It’s rich protein and there’s barely any fat.” When it comes to hamburgers, Modica said the secret to success is very simple: It is the meat. “You get good quality meat and the rest takes care of itself,” Modica said. Johnson said the part of the burger success is also the freshness along with a mix of prime rib, short rib and ground chuck blended into a 10 oz. hamburger. The ingredients are delivered daily and are never frozen. “We don’t really have a freezer,” Johnson said. “We just
have a small one for French fries and ice cream.” The burgers are offered a number of ways including the option to have it cooked to order, according to Johnson. Another dish Modica put his own touch on was a lobster roll. Johnson describes it as a “southwestern version” of an eastern lobster roll. Modica said lobster lends itself to a variety of dishes. “Everyone does it with a potato salad,” Modica said. “We decided to make it southwestern. We added peppers and spiced it up.” The history of the Glenview House includes drink as well as food and Johnson said he takes particular pride in the craft beers available. There are 24 selections
on tap, many of them local including Ten Ninety, brewed a few blocks away. He regularly varies the choices to give customers variety. “We want to be diverse,” Erickson said. “We want to try things that are new and unique. With one I got a tip from a customer, tried it and it’s selling like crazy.” With summer here, Erickson said outdoor seating is becoming more popular again. He said people can sit in front on Glenview Avenue and on the back deck. The front has more shade and the back more sun. “It’s always been part of the overall experience,” Erickson said. “It (also) gives people more of a city vibe.”

SOCIALS NIGHT OF DREAMS 20TH ANNIVERSARY GALA Photos by Mariah Smith of Mariah D. Photography
Supporters of Have Dreams, the Chicago-area nonprofit serving children, teens, and young adults with autism, gathered at the Radisson Blu Aqua to toast the organization’s 20th anniversary in late spring. Michelle and Robert Smigel, creators of Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars biennial benefit for autism, were honored for their national support of autism causes across the nation. Film critic and Good Day Chicago co-host Richard Roeper emceed the benefit, which raised $500,000 for Have Dreams’ programs.

602 Glendale Drive Glenview, 5 Bedrooms, 4.1 Bathrooms Exclusively Presented by Connie Nadia Dornan @properties 847.998.0200 conniedornan@atproperties.com Masterful design & modern luxury are uniquely embodied in this American country home with wrap around porch ready for your rocking chair! The grand entryway with sweeping staircase draws you into a voluminous layout made for entertaining.

Minutes to Metra, library, schools, forest preserve & more!
In today’s market, Realtors® and sellers are paying more attention to the importance of “thinking outside the box”. The real estate market of the 21st century is challenging and changing at the pace of technology—in other words, at warp speed! Gone are the days of simply popping a “For Sale” sign in the yard, creating an MLS listing and placing an advertisement in the Sunday papers. Though that’s tradition—and those methods of home sale are certainly still necessary and vital— they’re simply not enough to make your home distinct in the real estate market of today. Savvy Realtors® and sellers know that it takes more—much more—to successfully close on a home and maximize on the home’s worth. Today’s buyer is looking for more than just a place to hang their hat—they’re looking for a property that reflects their lives, their values and their lifestyle. It’s as much about where your grill will be during the summer months and what kind of garden you’ll put in come springtime as it is about having four walls and a roof. Home staging is a perfect jumpingoff point. Most buyers can’t imagine themselves in a space while it’s full of the things that make your house a home—so step one in selling, especially in a slow market, is de-cluttering all the spaces and storing all the home decorations that make it look like “yours”. Likewise, keeping the counters clear and the spaces clean and tidy make a world of difference. Next, have a Kodak moment with your house—glossy print magazines, social media and virtual tours are where most home buyers start looking. If they fall in love with a picture of your house, you’ve got a better chance of them making an offer once they see it in person. There’s a number of ways to make the most of a slow market and sell your home for its maximum value—sit down with your Realtor® and start drawing up your plan for success!

MAJOR TURNAROUND Glenbrook North’s Papper goes from long shot to two-time all-state long jumper BY DAN SHALIN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
R
ecent Glenbrook North graduate Michael Papper went from a track athlete who thought he knew it all to one who actually knows more than many. Papper, who currently is looking to compete collegiately at LoyolaChicago or Southern IllinoisEdwardsville, closed out his prep career last month by finishing eighth in the long jump (22-2 ½) at the IHSA Class 3A state meet in Charleston (May 26-28), which was his second straight eighthplace finish. Although Papper was disappointed he was not able to improve on his 2015 finish, or top his career-best jump of 23-0 ½ from the previous week’s Loyola Sectional, he did leave quite a legacy at Glenbrook North. He was the first long jumper in program history to reach state, earn all-state and repeat as an all-stater. “He’s the best long jumper I’ve ever coached, the best I’ve been a part of,” said Scott Lasky, who has been the Spartans’ head coach for five years and part of the program for nine. The latter half of Papper’s career certainly was in stark contrast to the beginning, when Lasky was forced to cut the talented but formerly enigmatic athlete midway through his freshman season. “His freshman year he was … what is the word? Whatever the nicer version of arrogant is,” Lasky said. “He thought he knew everything and didn’t want to do what the coaches said. He chose not to do our workouts, and he missed practices. Or, he’d get hurt and then go play club soccer. At one point, he just had three strikes against him and after the indoor season, we let him go.” Papper, who returned to the team as a sophomore, said some of the issues he had freshman year were related to the program’s training methods, which he

thought focused too much on volume and not enough on speed. He also admitted he was young and viewed himself as a soccer player who simply was dabbling in track and field. “It’s crazy, looking back on it,” Papper said about his high school career. “I (recently) asked some of the guys who were seniors then: ‘Would you ever think I would do what I did?’ And they were like
‘Zero chance.’ It’s just that was God’s plan for me, I guess.” Papper continued: “For me, after awhile, I matured, gained respect for the coaches and began to care about the sport and put in a lot of dedication and effort.” That dedication and effort went into training, in and out of season. Soon, Papper also started educating himself about different ways to train and how best to eat.
Over time, he began to recognize he had the potential to compete in track and field in college. After reaching state as a junior, Papper said he decided to take his commitment to the sport to a whole new level. “I really took track serious to the point where it was crazy serious after the state meet,” Papper said. “I knew after the state meet, this had to be my thing.”
Papper has worked with a personal trainer and a nutritionist, regularly sees a chiropractor and attended a track coaching clinic, where he was the only teenager. He also reached out to several prominent track coaches in the Chicagoland area, and he began visiting with them in order to learn secrets to getting faster and jumping better. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound
Papper said the top of his list of fitness mentors now includes Highland Park-based personal trainer Michael Drach; Plainfield North head coach and Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Famer Tony Holler; and Arlington Heights-based chiropractor Dr. Nate Porcher. Papper, who also reached state in the 800 relay this spring, has become so knowledgeable about training methods, that before his senior season, he sat down with Glenbrook North coaches in order to explain what he had learned. The coaches were not only happy to listen, but Papper said they also made some alterations to their own practice routines. Lasky said: “Coming into (Papper’s) senior year, you could tell this was what he wanted to do. Soccer had been his main sport, but [though he still played varsity soccer in the fall] it became second fiddle. He began to research and talk to other coaches to help us pull information from what they’re doing. He helped our program just evolve a little bit more.” Papper’s search for knowledge has not simply been about improving his own results either. He has been perfectly willing to share his findings with teammates and even some competitors from other teams. “Everybody he comes in contact with, they know he’s serious about the sport, and he’s willing to help by offering tips and trying to get everyone better,” said Glenbrook North senior-tobe TJ Weinzimmer, a high jumper and triple jumper. Weinzimmer added: “[Papper] is known as the kid who really knows everything when it comes to speed and just really track in general. If the coaches even take his word on a few things, you know he knows his stuff.”

CIRCLING THE BASES
Five area stars picked in MLB Draft BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM
H
ow American (League) of them. Five players from The North Shore Weekend area were selected in the 2016 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on June 9-11. And, all five were picked by American League teams: A’s, Blue Jays, Mariners, Orioles and Tigers. The list includes pitcher Ben Brecht, catcher Jason Goldstein, first baseman Charley Gould, pitcher Chris Hall and outfielder Danny Woodrow. Brecht, who just finished his senior season at New Trier, was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 36th round. The 6-foot-7 left-hander, who has signed with the University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara, finished the 2016 campaign with a 10-0 record. His earned run average was 0.55. He recently was named the Player of the Year in the Central Suburban League. The Seattle Mariners took Goldstein, a Highland Park High School graduate, in the ninth round (267th player overall). He started 194 games in four seasons at the University of Illinois. The star catcher has been through this process before. The Los Angeles Dodgers picked him in the 17th round of last year’s draft. Despite listing ex-Dodger pitching great Sandy Koufax as his favorite athlete on his bio at Illinois, he decided to play his senior year with the fighting Illini. And … Goldstein, who has earned a degree in industrial engineering, was as good as ever. The 6-foot, 210-pound receiver, a three-time all-Big Ten player, led Illinois in hitting (.312), on-base percentage (.402) and runs batted in (29). For his career, Goldstein ended up hitting .289 with 16 home runs and 115 RBIs. The 267th overall pick has a slot value of $168,900. Gould, who attended Lake Forest High School, was nabbed by the Oakland A’s in the 26th round. The right-handed hitting first baseman just completed a stellar career with William and Mary. The 6-2, 220-pound Gould was a doubles machine this spring. He had 22 two-base hits
hits in the fourth inning, while Mendiola gave up a hit but no runs in the seventh inning. The lefty was helped out by a nice defensive play by GBN first baseman Jordan Kaplan. North’s offense featured a runscoring singles by GBN’s Mitch Schermerhorn and Kyle Mitter. Mendiola singled and scored in the second inning, while HP teammate Justin Mills flew out three times. The South squad received solid mound work from New Trier’s Ryan Acri (2 IP, 0 runs, 0 hits). Offensively, the senior went 2-for-5 with an RBI. NT teammate, D ylan McGuire, had a single and scored twice. Two Glenbrook South players, right-fielder Jordan Libman and first baseman Jack Szafranski, led the South offense. Libman reached base three times on two line-drive singles and a walk. Szafranski had two hits and two RBIs. Dan Jenkins of the Titans had the longest pitching stint in the contest: 3 IP. He allowed one hit and no earned runs to go along with four strikeouts and three walks.

to go along with five home runs and 46 RBIs. The three-time all-Colonial Athletic Association honoree hit .388 with 15 doubles, 13 homers and 52 RBIs in 2015. He was a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy (Best Player in College Baseball). Gould ended up hitting .336 during his time at William and Mary. He had 24 homers, 54 doubles and 150 RBIs. Hall, another New Trier product, was selected in the 14th round by the Toronto Blue Jays. He was the 432nd player drafted overall. Hall, a converted catcher, was a relief specialist for Elon University this spring. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound right-hander registered 10 saves to go along with a 2-2 record. His earned average was 2.93. He allowed 30 hits in 30. 2/3 innings with 27 Ks and just eight walks.
As a red-shirt sophomore in 2015, while making the transition to the mound, he appeared in 26 games with two saves. He fanned 32 batters in 29 innings. Woodrow, a Loyola Academy grad, was chosen by the Detroit Tigers in the 12th round (355th overall). Woodrow, who is known as Woody, had a terrific spring. The 5-foot-10 fleet-footed outfielder, who was named first-team All-Big East, hit a team-best .343 and stole 32 bases in 39 attempts. The Wilmette native collected 79 hits, 44 runs and 22 RBIs. He also shined defensively, committing no errors in 158 chances for the Bluejays (38-17). At Loyola, the left-handed hitting Woodrow set the school record for longest hitting streak (19) during the 2013 season. Meanwhile, Cal Coughlin, who just finished his senior year at Lake Forest High School, was
not drafted. But he has a nice fallback. The pitcher/third baseman is all set to play at Texas Christian next season. He hit .436 with 14 extra base hits for the Scouts this spring. He knocked in 25 runs and scored 23 times. His OPS (on-base plus slugging) was a lofty 1.168. And, on the mound, he was 6-5 with a 2.18 ERA. He allowed only 43 hits in 61-plus innings with 93 Ks and 23 walks.
(28-23).
CSL Senior All-Star Game Strong performances by three Glenbrook North pitchers — Michael Oh, Nathan Mirochnick and Noah Taffel — and two Highland Park pitchers — Toby Tigges and Jordan Mendiola — helped to lift the North team to a 8-7 victory over the South squad in the Central Suburban League Senior All-Stars game at Oakton Community College on Northwoods League June 13. Loyola Academy grad Jack Oh worked out of a jam in the Yalowitz is playing in the North- second inning. He worked 1 2/3 innings and gave up one hit and woods League this summer.

ob Zmudka is watching his daughter, Katherine, work on a school project about Hall of Fame football player Jack Youngblood. Katherine is at home, in Winnetka. She is 10 years old. It is the 2015-16 school year, Katherine’s fourth grade. Dad takes a picture of his daughter viewing YouTube videos of Youngblood being interviewed by much older people. Dad texts the picture, with an accompanying text message, to … Jack Youngblood. The former Los Angeles Rams defensive end and Rob Zmudka — an executive for Chicagobased GTAX Corporation, an equipment finance company — are friends. “Guess who’s doing a research project about you?” Zmudka’s text message asks. Youngblood sees the photo, reads the message. The 66-year-old, a pro football player from 1971-1984 for the Rams and only the Rams, replies, “Have her call me if it would help.” Katherine calls Youngblood. She asks him eight questions. One of the questions: “Who was the toughest player you ever faced?” “Jack,” the 48-year-old Rob Zmudka recalls at Avli Estiatorio in Winnetka, “handled the interview like it was an ESPN interview. “I met Jack about 10 years ago, during a golf outing. We hit it off. I knew his era of football, loved watching football on TV when I was young. I followed the Bears and the Rams when I was growing up [in Elmwood Park]. “Jack, today,” he adds, “is a

Zmudka, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame National Advisory Committee since 2010, and Mary Owen, Executive Vice President and Life Trustee of The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, are the event’s cochairs. W ilson, former owner of t h e Buffalo Bills, died in 2014 at the age of 95; he was Owen’s uncle. Proceeds from the fundraiser (it raised $100,000 last year) go to the Pro Football Hall and Fame and to Highland Parkbased Beyond Sports Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to use the power of sports to transform lives by turning athletic ability into life opportunity. “To bring the story of Canton [home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Ohio] to new markets, to bring a bit of the museum to other parts of the country,” Zmudka says of the spirit behind the formation of
Largent, too. The lineup thrills Zmudka, but not as much as what the gathering will do for the Beyond Sports Foundation and its executive director, Kim Michelson. “We’ll be able to use the Pro Football Hall of Fame brand to shine a brighter light on Beyond Sports,” Zmudka says. “That’s exciting. It’s a tremendous organization, and Kim cares deeply about it and its efforts to help studentathletes who are from under-
the Pro Football Hall of Fame National Advisory Committee. “I’m just a small piece of this. Really, I am. Our Pro Football Hall of Fame president, David Baker, is a great leader, a great motivator. He is all about celebrating excellence and preserving history. His vision for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is to build a Hall of Fame village in Canton. He sees a retirement facility for former players there,
a 4-star hotel, a new stadium. “The NFL celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2019,” he adds. “I think Canton would be a great host city for the NFL Draft in 2019.” Richard Dent, an ex-Bear, and Ted Hendricks are among the other Gold Jackets expected to attend the Chicago Salute to Greatness on June 20 (dinner) and June 21 (golf outing).

Smith recommended Zmudka to represent Chicago as a national advisory committee member. Blessed. Zmudka got hired by GATX in 1989 and has never had to search for another job. Blessed.
