onsider the man cave.

In many ways, the name sounds lifted from another era, perhaps CroMagnon or, at the very least, before women’s lib. The image it stirs includes a La-Z Boy recliner studded with broken Doritos, a small refrigerator brimming with Budweiser, a television tuned to football — and somewhere, a “Keep Out” sign and maybe a crooked poster of those three entertainers of yore, Moe, Larry and Curly.

On the North Shore, though, man caves are a little more refined. And they have been quite popular during this interminable winter. Bill McLean reports on the different variations in this week’s paper.

The new Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital will not feature a man cave — but the 400,000-squarefoot facility, due to be completed in 2017, will have just about everything else. The man behind the modern facility is Tom McAfee. Hired in 2006, he’s

OLPH continues to go above and beyond Glenview school focuses on faith, opportunities

Elsie Jasser, Ryan Fellinger, and Matthew Groose share a laugh at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Glenview.

photography by joel lerner ■ by kevin beese Pam Whittington was looking for a pet for the Our Lady of Perpetual Help preschool when a parent offered turtles Bert and Ernie.

Ten years later, Bert and Ernie are still part of the Glenview school — and have become quite good listeners for preschoolers’ troubles.

“When the kids have a problem, they will go up to the tank and talk to Bert and Ernie,” Whittington said. “The turtles think they are going to be fed so they come to the glass and appear very attentive.”

participate in OLPH,” Hanrahan said.

Parish school principal Amy Mills knows that parents have a choice, with strong public schools in the area. That is why the school continues to stress the opportunities and extras that students experience as part of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

“We have quality District 84 schools here.

So parents are not going to send their children here just for the quality education,” Mills said.

“Parents are not going to pay $5,000 and just say ‘That is the cost of education.’

“We have to go above and beyond with our kids’ education. We give them a personal experience.”

Bert and Ernie have a summer home – Whittington’s residence – and appear to be staples at OLPH for years to come.

“They live for 85 years. I didn’t know that when I got them,” Whittington joked.

Bert and Ernie, part of the OLPH family, were even blessed during Pet Blessing Day at the school. And many in the OLPH community feel that the 900-plus-student elementary school is a blessing in itself.

Seven alumni have returned to teach at the school. Many faculty members, like kindergarten director Shawn Hanrahan, have put their own children through the OLPH program.

“We moved to Glenview for our kids to

OLPH leaders note that in the public school system, youths may be in three different school systems, with three different administrations during their elementary school years. While students may change buildings every year at OLPH, they remain on the same campus and have the same administrative team overseeing their education, leaders of the parish school contend.

“Parents’ son or daughter can be with us from age 3 to age 14,” Mills said. “And even when they leave here, they stay in touch.”

A few of the extras that OLPH tout are a swimming pool, a full-time nurse and a flex program preschool that allows students to attend anywhere from three to five days a week.

Faith is a big part of the OLPH program, although school officials note that students need not be Catholic in order to attend the school. A convent sits on the campus and is home to four sisters, two of who still teach at the school. Money raised during the annual Kindergarten Lemonade Stand goes toward Sister Paulanne’s Needy Family Fund, helping local families in crisis.

The OLPH Annual Fund brings in around $500,000, helping to provide extras like a new gym floor and new bleachers that have just been installed.

The everyone-pitching-in mentality adds to the feeling of community at OLPH as do programs like every kindergartner having a fourth-grade buddy and spending time reading with the older student.

“It is hard to determine who likes the program more — the fourth-graders or the kindergartners,” Hanrahan said.

Mills, who said she never saw herself being a principal early in her teaching career, makes sure to spend every recess out playing and talking with students. The 1 hour and 20 minutes carved out of every day means a lot of night and weekend work for Mills, but she wouldn’t give it up.

Neanderthals no more Man caves are high-tech havens on North Shore ■ by bill mclean

Pool tables, bars and more are part of man caves on the North Shore.

photography courtesy of coldwell banker

Me Want New Name The term "man cave" may seem slightly anachronistic in the 21st century — especially on the North Shore, where some of these havens feature eight big-screen televisions and other technological wonders.

The North Shore Weekend's Facebook page at Facebook.com/ TheNorthShoreWeekend invites you to participate in our Man Cave Reader Poll.

Our editor will be choosing the most creative response to our Man Cave question among those entries that like the NSW Facebook page.

The winner will receive a $100 gift card furnished by Nick's Bar & Grill.

Man caves — also known as mantuaries, hubby hideaways and the forerunners to media rooms — have come a long way since taking up space in oil-stained garages and dank basements.

In many cases they’re now immaculate, high-tech havens for homeowners who want to close a door on the stresses of life and then lose themselves in the joy of watching their favorite football team win a televised game on one of several flat screens.

A billiards table nearby comes in handy during halftime, as does a wet bar. Sometimes the crackling from a man cave’s fireplace drowns out the sound of liquid hitting ice cubes in a glass.

“You could define a man cave as a deluxe, comfortable setting that allows people to separate themselves from everyday worries,” says Roberta Miller, an associate broker at Koenig & Strey in Lake Forest. “It gives a person a feeling of escape.”

But Miller and others in real estate along the North Shore believe men’s “Do Not Disturb” signs on the entrance of their caves have largely fallen and now serve as welcome mats — for women and children.

“It shouldn’t be a room just for men,” says Susan Silverberg, marketing coordinator at Coldwell Banker in Deerfield. “I like the idea of sitting around in a big room in your PJs. The husband and wife should take turns using it; the whole family should be able to enjoy it.”

Dan Perper and his wife, Danielle, live in Highland Park with their three children, ages 6 to 11. Dan’s cave features eight TVs, cozy furniture and a unique door separating it from the home library. Close the door, push a button and, gradually, the door’s glass frosts over. Cool — in more ways than one.

“I’m a big NFL fan,” says Dan Perper, an investment firm partner and an even bigger Chicago Bears fan. “I’m in there every Sunday during the football season. When I’m in there I don’t hear a thing going on in the rest of the house. For about every 20 times I’m in there, my wife is in there with me once, and our 6-yearold knows how to work the whole room. You should see him, the way he plays video games while watching TV.” According to mancavesite.org, “man cave” was first used as a description for a room in 1992. In 2012, in a piece written by Adam Tschorn of the Los Angeles Times, interior designer Courtney Cachet notes a man cave would have been “called a media room” in 2005.

“I promise you,” she adds, “as soon as the economy takes even a little bit of an uptick, there will be a resurgence that will put to shame what we’ve seen so far. People will be pulling out all the stops. We’ll see man caves with bowling alleys.”

Barbara Shields, a broker at @ properties in Winnetka, would like to strike “man cave” from the domestic lexicon altogether.

“A so-called man cave … that’s so pedestrian,” she says. “A man who wants a place to be alone at home only has to go to his beautiful library, or his office, or a wine room. An office is classic and timeless, a perfect place for a man to close a door to the world and be with his golf trophies, books and other things.”

Orren Pickell has seen all kinds of man caves, from a low-budget shelter with a kegerator (a refrigerator modified to contain and dispense beer) to a high-end room with a poker table as its centerpiece and an air handler to disperse cigarette and cigar smoke.

“The best man caves are the ones that take care of all of a man’s video and audio needs, the ones with multiple TVs, games — they’re essentially large entertainment centers,” says Pickell, president and CEO of Orren Pickell Building Group in Northfield.

“It’s a space for a man to do anything he wants.

“But I’m sure there are wives who also like man caves,” he adds,” because wives get to escape their husbands when the husbands are in those caves for all those hours.”

Hours before men’s hockey games at the University of Notre Dame, Irish players get to hang out in a room in the Compton Family Ice Arena, relaxing while watching TV on a leather couch or playing Foosball. The convenient refuge is dubbed, “The Chill Room,” aka man cave’s little brother.

For Highland Park resident Ian Robinson, a man cave wouldn’t be a man cave without sports jerseys in glass cases on walls, posters of sports heroes, baseball bats and football helmets here, baseballs and golf balls there, and other varieties of sports memorabilia doing double duty as room ornaments.

“When I think of the early man caves I also think of the ones with a wood-paneled bar in a wood-paneled basement,” says Robinson, branch manager and broker at Coldwell Banker in Northbrook. “Many of the them now are home theaters with huge screens. The definition of a man cave depends on the man.

I have an office at home; it’s like a library. It used to be a spacious place for me to sit on a couch, read books and relax. Now our son’s toys are in there and we’ve converted it into a family room where we spend a lot of time together.”

Tom Girot, president of Thomas Sarti Girot Interiors in Park Ridge, has been in the design trade for 35 years and worked on many North Shore homes. Nearly every house he enhances boasts a media room, aka a man cave’s classy cousin.

“I don’t need a man cave or any room similar to it,” says Girot, a Morris resident. “I don’t want one.

“I live vicariously through my clients.” ■

My life has shifted into focus.

Treating the effects of Parkinson’s disease with deep brain stimulation.

Photographer and retired filmmaker, Rod Daniel has a passion for life. So, when diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he did his research and sought treatment at Northwestern Medicine, particularly for their Deep Brain Stimulation Program. With this procedure, the implanted neurostimulator smooths out the points where traditional medications wear off and the next dose of medication kicks in. This treatment has allowed Rod to continue to be active, allowing him to capture images wherever his imagination takes him.

On slopes or at beaches, sunscreen is a spring-break necessity As North Shore’s residents prepare for their spring vacations, ski gloves and bikinis will be packed. But one item should not be forgotten.

Whether it’s at the top of a Vail blackdiamond run or on the beaches of Florida, the danger of sun rays stays the same — and sunscreen is the best shield against the skin’s worst enemy.

“Whether it’s 30 SPF or 50 SPF, reapplication is what’s essential.” | Dr. Andrea Knox-Hochstedt

photography by joel lerner

“My older sister says that teenagers she knows don’t like to use sunscreen, but she feels it’s important to apply it to prevent cancer,” says Danielle Prindle, 11, of Lake Forest. “I wear SPF 70 because I have skin that burns easily, and I don’t like when my skin peels after a sunburn.”

Since the skin is the body’s largest (and fastest-growing) organ and its first layer of protection, taking care of it is crucial — even when one is tempted after an interminable Chicago winter to swim in the Caribbean without it.

There’s one mistake that people continuously make, says Dr. Andrea Knox-Hochstedt of Winnetka’s Whole Beauty Institute.

“Whether it’s 30 SPF or 50 SPF, reapplication is what’s essential,” said Hochstedt,

who specializes in non-surgical anti-aging treatments.

Skincare is the name of the game at Whole Beauty Institute, which is an extension of Dr. John Q. Cook’s regular practice. The Winnetka resident studied English literature during his undergraduate days at Yale University before finding a passion for medicine (he’s also fond of restoring historic houses, including his 1911 Winnetka home).

Cook completed training in general surgery before settling on plastic surgery.

When he started his independent private practice in 1988, Cook saw a demand for continued skincare from patients who had facelifts and other facial rejuvenation surgery and set out to make Whole Beauty Institute one of the first medspas in the country.

“At the time we didn’t yet have botox, advanced fillers or many of the technologies that are now available to help treat our patients,” said Cook. “I diligently set out to learn about the options that were currently available and put together a first-class team to help me deliver these services.”

The medspa offers non-surgical treatments -- such as chemical peels and laser treatments -- to rejuvenate skin, correct sun damage or turn back the clock. Skincare is broken down into three categories: evening out skin tone, cellular renewal and collagen stimulation. Peels targeting various needs are applied in-office and are followed with specialized take-home maintenance kits to supplement the effects of the peel.

North Shore looks to understand impact of medical marijuana

"It's kind of a weird thing, all these states allowing the use of marijuana," says Tim Thoelecke Jr. of InOut Labs, which conducts drug testing.

■ by bill mclean

A high school football player suffers a concussion in a game and can’t shake the ensuing headaches. The North Shore resident seeks relief from a doctor, who prescribes medical marijuana after an examination and hands the patient a card to use at a local dispensary.

The football player takes a dose of cannabis at home before school one morning and arrives in a classroom. His teacher has cancer and took a similar dose of cannabis before driving to school that morning.

It could happen soon in Illinois, because the student in the scenario is 18 years old and the state passed the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act last summer.

“We’re concerned the act is a gateway to legalizing all marijuana use and that marijuana might end up in too

many hands of our youth,” said Khris Condon, program director of the SpeakUP! Prevention Coalition serving Lake Forest, Lake Bluff and Knollwood. “The way the law is written now, a prescription for people who have certain conditions will be 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks.

“That means 13 joints a day,” she added.

Most expect the first such prescription in Illinois won’t be provided until the spring of 2015. Regulations are still being written and all kinds of issues have to be addressed, including zoning restrictions for cultivation centers and dispensaries in municipalities across the state.

“Illinois has done a pretty decent job of writing the law and recognizing medical marijuana concerns,” said Bill Gentes, who works for the Lake County Health Department and is program director of the Lake County Underage Drinking and Drug Prevention Task Force. “We found areas of the bill that need to be tightened up.”

One is the location of cultivation centers and dispensaries. As the law reads now, cultivation centers — medical marijuana dispensed in Illinois must be grown in Illinois — cannot be within 2,500 feet of schools, day care centers and residential districts, while dispensaries cannot be located within 1,000 feet of those three areas.

“We want churches and parks to be added,” Gentes said.

“We also don’t see any need for medical marijuana to be marketed since only those who have a medical card can obtain it. There should be no need for signage or any Joe Camel-type of advertising on billboards.”

Medical marijuana is legal in 19 other states and the District of Columbia. Recreational marijuana is also legal in Colorado and Washington state.

But the federal government continues to classify marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance like heroin, cocaine and other narcotics. “[The Drug Enforcement Administration] specifically says marijuana is illegal and dangerous, and [the Food and Drug Administration] hasn’t approved marijuana as a drug,” said Glenview resident Tim Thoelecke, who owns

Morton Grove-based InOut Labs, which conducts drug tests for businesses and individuals. “It’s kind of a weird thing, all these states allowing the use of it and all these moving parts surrounding the issue.

“Companies,” he added, “want a clean, drug-free culture and they don’t want the use of marijuana leading to people getting hurt while on the job.”

State Representative and Northbrook resident Elaine Nekritz (57th District) supported legalizing medical marijuana last summer, citing the act’s compassionate component.

“I believe it is a matter of treating people with debilitating diseases with respect and offering them relief from pain and suffering,” she said by email.

But Nekritz also acknowledged the challenges ahead, from financial institutions having concerns about an association with dispensaries to the increased availability of the drug to the state’s youth.

“We will now have to be vigilant to ensure the law is being implemented as we envisioned and that any consequences that might arise be studied carefully and addressed appropriately,” she said.

For Deputy Chief Kyle Perkins of the Wilmette Police Department, medical marijuana in Illinois is a lot like the concealed carry law in Illinois.

“They’re both so new,” Perkins said. “Our police department is not overreacting to medical marijuana and there’s a concerted effort to examine the law and understand it fully. The concerns are the same as they were before the law was passed. Bottom line, you can’t drive if you’re under the influence of a drug.”

Pharmacist Stan Kent of NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston has fielded a handful of questions about the law. Pharmacists, though, won’t be players when dispensaries open for business.

“The prescriptions we fill are for FDA-approved drugs only,” he said. “I’ve read the medical cannabis site [mcpp. illinois.gov], and there’s no question it will be highly regulated. We’ll see how it pans out.” ■

Food blog is still cooking in North Dakota ■ by katie rose mceneely

Molly Yeh

photography by nick hagen

Glenbrook South High School alumuna and Glenview native Molly Yeh is a food writer. She lives in North Dakota.

Reading: Lots of cookbooks. By reading, I mean that I look at the pictures and get ideas for my own recipes. So it looks like I’m reading. Most recently I got “Jerusalem,” and I love The Rose Bakery cookbook, “Breakfast Lunch and Feast.”

Listening: My boyfriend is a songwriter, so I listen to a lot of his stuff — he’ll be in the next room, writing, so I’ll hear the same thing for hours on end. I also have a few bands I’ve been enjoying lately, Luscious and Lost in the Trees.

In addition to that, I’m into a lot of contemporary classical music. Music is a very large part of my life, but since moving it’s been a challenge to work that in as much as I did in New York.

Watching: I watch an embarrassing amount of TV since I moved here, in the coldest winter I’ve ever experienced. I love “Homeland.” Saul is my favorite TV character in the history of TV. I love “Orange Is the New Black” and “House of Cards,” but I also get into patterns where I’ll YouTube a bunch of synchronized skating videos.

And I’ve really been a fan of being able to live stream concerts from New York and other parts of the world — it kind of stinks, not having a music scene here, but it’s nice to be able to watch a Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert from my bathtub.

Following: I follow a ton of food blogs. There are so many amazing food blogs that aren’t just about food but are about people’s lives — I can see pictures of Australia in summer right now.

I also really try to closely follow the happenings

in Israel. I was in Israel last summer, and it’s something that’s really important to me. So through various news sites and Twitter, I try to keep an eye on that.

Activity: I’ve kept diaries since the day I could write. I have this desire to document everything.

Blogging is, for me, a natural progression, and I love that I can share it with other people. I love that you can connect with people over it.

My blog started out as a general-life blog, life diary, and it turned into a restaurant blog when I got my first apartment in New York and started experimenting with cooking and how much fun it was. The blog is mostly a food blog, but it’s really just a reflection of my life — my life just happens to be about food at the moment.

Eating: Most of the time if I’m not developing a recipe, I’ll eat a lot of greens. I do a lot of Chinese and Jewish cooking; it’s influenced by my heritage. I also cook a lot of Israeli food and use a lot of Middle Eastern spices. The other part of that is I’ll be developing a recipe and — I don’t mean to — I’ll taste test it throughout the day and not eat anything else. My boyfriend is gluten free and dairy free, so I do a lot of cooking for him in those parameters, but I would never eliminate cheese from my life. Whenever I go home to Glenview, I make sure to get a nice piece of bleu cheese.

What is your favorite mistake?

This is an extension of what I’m eating — last week there were a few days where I forgot to eat anything other than a waffle. But they were good waffles. So it was okay.

18 | lifestyle & arts sunday breakfast ■ by david sweet Tom McAfee’s introduction to his chosen profession was as painful as it was defining.

When he was 15, his father, William, suffered a heart attack in front of him and died.

“It was a catastrophic event that had a profound impact in my life,” says McAfee, president of Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital (NLFH), about the tragedy that prompted him to eventually become involved in healthcare. “I recall very specifically the people involved in caring for him.”

Since joining NLFH’s 160-acre campus in 2006, where he oversees a 201-bed hospital along with hundreds of doctors and nurses, McAfee’s impact on the century-old institution has been broad. He led an affiliation with Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, which has brought new physicians (including the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute) to Lake County and cut purchasing costs. And he launched the construction of a new facility, due to be completed in 2017, to replace the brick building that has served patients since World War II.

“It’s a sophisticated project beyond maybe building a submarine. There are so many moving parts — the needs of a radiologist and a general surgeon are vastly different.” | Tom McAfee “It’s probably one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I’ve ever been involved with,” says McAfee, who has built several cancer centers in both Philadelphia and Ohio. “It’s enormously complex. It’s a sophisticated project beyond maybe building a submarine. There are so many moving parts — the needs of a radiologist and a general surgeon are vastly different.”

Two nationally known architectural firms, HGA and Pelli Clarke Pelli, worked on the designs, which were approved by the Lake Forest City Council earlier this year after 18 months of discussion.

“The No. 1 priority for us in the design was safety,” says McAfee. “But it’s not just the physical design — a community like Lake Forest takes great pride in the architecture and the aesthetics.”

Once it’s completed, the $378 million complex will feature

He helps hospital become the picture of health

a 400,000 square-foot hospital with an additional 100,000 square feet of medical office spaces.

The new building will have five interconnected pavilions, each three stories.

Outdoors, a stretch of grass — prompted

by McAfee’s enjoyment of how Lake Forest High School holds graduations on its front lawn — can host celebrations and events, while walking, hiking and fitness trails are designed to promote good health.

Hired to run a building where employees and visitors routinely walk by patients’ rooms to reach their destination and where physicians must navigate tunnels and sidewalks to visit their peers in the outlying 800 and 900 buildings, McAfee says it didn’t take long to realize the hospital needed a new facility.

“This is well-equipped from a technology standpoint, but it’s not positioned to provide contemporary healthcare,” says McAfee of the aging structure, whose purpose after 2017 is unclear.

Tom McAfee After his father’s death in 1979, McAfee moved from upstate New York to

Centerville, Ohio and graduated from its high school.

While earning a bachelor of science degree at Wright State University, McAfee served as a hospital orderly, confirming his desire to enter healthcare. He later added a master of hospital and health administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati.

McAfee spent a decade at the Cleveland Clinic Health System, both as a senior executive for operations of the 431-bed Hillcrest Hospital and as vice president of Cleveland Clinic’s East Region Oncology Service. Recruited to the then-Lake Forest Hospital, McAfee was most impressed by the board of trustees who hired him.

“I enjoyed Cleveland. The board is why I came,” he says. “For a young CEO, to work with that kind of talent … their mandate was we want the hospital to be positioned for long-term success.”

With a partner ranked No. 6 in the country and a new facility positioning the institution to achieve that mandate, what’s left? McAfee says there’s plenty of work to be done.

“A fundamental philosophy is continuous improvement,” he notes. “Then we’re hitting the mark.”

Despite busy days and evenings that leave little time for hobbies (“I’m a horrible golfer — that’s evidence I’m spending enough time here”), McAfee is as committed to healthcare as the first day he knew he wanted to join the industry.

“There’s no more honorable profession to be part of than healthcare.

The letters I receive — and I receive them all the time — we have a profound impact on people’s lives,” he says. “How illustration by barry blitt could you have a better job?”

NEWS DIGEST REVIEW Deerfield

Glenview The village has launched a redesigned website.

Developed and designed by Intechnic of

Glenview A new preschool has opened.

The Gardner School (TGS), serving children from six weeks old through pre-kindergarten, has opened at 2380 Waterview Drive (previously 1 Astellas Way). It is the third Gardner School in the Chicago area; and there are plans for three additional schools by spring 2015.

The school is within Glenview’s boundaries, but has a Northbrook mailing address.

So the facility is being called “The Gardner School of Glenview-Northbrook.”

“We are thrilled to be expanding in the Chicago market,” said Scott Thompson,

Han met and received his award from Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.

Han and other members of the commission will be organizing a Youth Film Fest on June 9.

Teens pumped up for the action-adventure thriller “Divergent” may want to head to the Deerfield Public Library for a party at 2 p.m. March 23.

The library will be offering games, food, a costume contest and prizes, including tickets to the movie. The Divergent party is for youths in grades 7-12.

The party came about as a result of the library’s Teen Advisory Board and its work with Nina Michael, youth services and teen librarian. It was the teens’ idea to have a get-together for the movie’s opening.

“The ‘Divergent’ books are so popular as are ‘Hunger Games’ and other dystopian genre books,” said Judy Hoffman, the library’s outreach coordinator. “Teens are always looking for more books like these.”

With the movie opening March 20, teens thought March 23 would be a perfect time for a get-together.

The movie is set in a world where people are divided into distinct factions based on human virtues. The movie stars Shailene

Can the Red Sea wash over Titan Nation and other student cheering sections?

Deerfield and Glenbrook South high schools are two of the eight schools that have been chosen to compete in the fourth annual Battle of the Fans Madness tournament.

The two schools were chosen for the Comcast contest based on “the excitement and enthusiasm” their student sections showed during appearances on the CN100 Game of the Week during this basketball season.

Other schools in the contest are Loyola Academy, IC Catholic Prep, Joliet Central, Neuqua Valley, Oak Park-River Forest and Plainfield East.

The first round of voting ends Sunday, with the four top vote-getters advancing to the second round. The Battle of the Fans Madness champion will earn title Best Student Section and receive a Battle of the Fans banner.

Votes for Deerfield and Glenbrook South can be cast at http://www.cn100.tv/battle_of_the_fans.aspx.

Chicago, the site is aimed at changing the way residents, business owners and visitors interact with the local government. Village officials noted that the site is now organized by service and program, not by department as many municipal websites are.

“Providing quality, reliable and efficient public services are the core responsibilities of a municipality, and an accessible, user-friendly website is an important part of that,” Glenview Village President Jim Patterson said. “The bold new design of the village of Glenview’s website is focused on better serving residents, businesses and visitors. We’re pleased it has been well received.”

The village’s website is at www.glenview. il.us.

Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet.

Registration for the library party is required and can be accomplished three ways: online at www.deerfieldlibrary.org under the “Programs and Classes” tab, by telephone at (847) 945-3311 or in person at the library.

Glenview Fifty-seven Glenview youth will take to the stage this weekend for performances of “The Jungle Book.”

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Friday, 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday at Glenview United Methodist Church, 727 Harlem Ave. Two casts will each perform twice.

“This is one of my all-time favorite musicals because of the fun, upbeat, jazzy songs and dance numbers,” said Anne Neumann, choreographer and a director of the show.

Alisha Potter, one of the other directors and a former drama teacher in Glenview District 34, loves the classic Disney story because of “its great character roles for young actors and actresses.”

The Jungle Book is the group’s eighth production during the past three years.

“We love discovering new talent in the area and really enjoy watching our more seasoned and returning actors grow through the seasons,” said Neumann.

Tickets may be purchased in advanced at tututix.com or 30 minutes before each performance at the church. Admission is $11 for adults and $9 for children. Groups of 15 or more can get tickets for $8 per person.

April 13 at the Northbrook Theatre.

Students will sing, dance and act on stage with peer Creative Companions.

This is the third year for the theater company for individuals age 11-22 with special needs. Students and their Creative Companions have been working together weekly since late September.

“They have worked on it for so long,” said Katie Kotloski, news digest >> page 27

Founder is wide awake to potential of new beverage

■ by jenna schubert Northfield resident Rocky Mosele stumbled upon his idea to invent caffeinated, lightly f lavored club soda through personal experience.

The story behind his company, Caffeinated Club — which began operating out of its Glenview-based headquarters in the fall — is unique.

“It’s a testament that truth is always stranger than fiction,” Mosele says.

As a successful businessman who attended New Trier High School and DePaul University, Mosele has developed several businesses during his career (his other company is International Star Registry). In the fall of 2012, Mosele was at a business dinner in Chicago, when he decided to order a drink.

Because his busy travel schedule had left him tired, he declined his usual vodka and club soda and tried a Red Bull energy drink mixed with vodka. Yet the taste of the energy drink was unappealing.

“I looked at my club soda and said, ‘Why doesn’t this just have caffeine in it?’ ” Mosele says.

“I looked at my club soda and said, ‘Why doesn’t this just have caffeine in it?’ ” | Rocky Mosele

Afterward, he began researching and was surprised to find that caffeinated club soda was non-existent. So by April of 2013, he appointed a project manager to help him make his idea of caffeinated club soda a reality. In September, the Caffeinated Club bottling facility in Glenview opened, and the first beverages were produced in October.

The Caffeinated Club sodas are available in four flavors — raspberry, orange-grapefruit, lemon, and clear (flavorless) — and contain no sugar, calories, or artificial sweeteners.

They are also kosher-certified and veganfriendly. Each single serving 12-ounce bottle has approximately the same amount of caffeine as a can of Coca-Cola.

The product is sold in boutique grocery stores such as Foodstuffs, The Grand, and The Marketplace grocery store. Caffeinated Club was also recently picked up by Southern Wine & Spirits (a $16 billion company), which will distribute the products to every major grocer in Illinois and nationwide.

“People rave about the product on our Facebook page. The feedback has been terrific,” Mosele says. “We’re not trying to be everything for everybody, but we’re certainly something for a lot of people. For any caffeine-drinker, we’re a viable option.”

One such caffeine drinker, Alex Breuder of Wilmette, recently switched to Caffeinated Club sodas.

“I’ve been trying to find a healthier alternative for my Diet Coke obsession, and I’m happy to report I haven’t had one in more than three weeks,” she says.

Customers like Breuder are part of the reason Mosele has high hopes for the future of Caffeinated Club.

His main goal is to roll out the product nationally and internationally, and to see Caffeinated Club become a regular household brand.

In the meantime, he will continue his work — which is also his passion.

“I’ve heard the phrase, ‘If you love what you do, you don’t work a day in your life.’ I have been blessed that I haven’t had to work a day in my life,” Mosele says.

Where politics does not make strange bedfellows

As we close in on the primary elections this Tuesday, it seems that everyone is talking about Springfield: who should move to the Illinois Governor’s Mansion, who will best lead pension reform, and which of the many political issues being debated is the most urgent.

The conversation leads most every local newscast, but I doubt the same debate dominates the dinner table.

The thought occurred to me during a recent event I attended, at which U.S. Senator Mark Kirk was the featured speaker. He discussed unrest in the Ukraine and the most recent revisions to the Affordable Care Act, among other topics, and he took questions from the audience.

Couples appeared from a wide geographic area. I wondered how many of them will vote together March 18.

In fact, spouses are quite likely to vote for the same candidates. Two 2011 studies found this to be the case – and that our personal political beliefs actually feed our attraction to like-minded mates.

Spouses with different philosophies rarely convert their mates to their way of thinking (ain’t that the truth).

One study, published in the Journal of Politics, considered these truths: Humans are highly influenced by others humans.

Mates spend a lot of time together talking about most

everything.

Doesn’t it make sense, then, that spouses would influence each other’s political preferences?

But that’s not the case at all.

Researchers determined that individuals bring their political briefs to their relationships like hand-me-down furniture from their studio apartments and find long-term relationship success in relationships with mates who agree.

While opposites may attract in terms of personality, birds of a feather flock together when we’re talking about social attitudes.

The Journal of Politics reports that this is the unintentional, yet unavoidable, side effect of how we find our spouses. Many mates come from within shared religious, social, economic and educational groups, which often coincide with political beliefs.

A similar study, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, found that even when individuals present little of their political beliefs (such as in an online dating profile), long-term relationships spring from those pairings with common political preferences, religious beliefs and intelligence levels because humans desire compatibility in their long-term relationships.

About the same time that these highly academic studies

mankoff/the new yorker collection/www.cartoonbank.com

■ by joanna brown

were released, the popular Today Show polled viewers on their plans to vote in the 2012 presidential election. Twothirds of 4,100 respondents said they would vote for the same candidate as their spouse.

But another 9 percent didn’t know because they don’t discuss politics at home. Do these couples agree to disagree, or are they just uninterested in the drama? I’m sure they have plenty of other things they can discuss at length, and sometimes loudly.

Political strategists James Carville and Mary Matalin built careers on working for opposing parties — the exception to the rule — and they’ve repeatedly said they do not talk about politics at home. Oh, how I would love to be a fly on their wall.

I’d like to hear from North Shore couples who, like Carville and Matalin, are supporting different candidates this season. Contact me at Joanna@northshoreweekend.com. ■

A Matter Of Taste

Restaurant veteran stays in the mix at Bobby’s ■ by katie rose mceneely

Rick Zwolinski

photography by nick hagen

Recipe: The Floradora

In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass filled halfway with ice, combine the following ingredients: 3 ounces of Small’s American Gin, 1 ounce fresh Lime juice and 1/2 ounce high quality Raspberry Liqueur. Shake vigorously, strain and pour into a coupe glass.

Top with 1 ounce Ginger Beer (not Ginger Ale!), gently stir, and garnish with a lemon twist.

Rick Zwolinski is the mixologist at Bobby’s Deerfield.

How did you start mixing drinks? I have actually been in this business in some form or another since I was 15 — and I’m now 49. I started as a dishwasher at an Original Pancake house and bartended my way through college. I never ended up getting away from it and ended up managing for many different restaurants.

For about two or three years I owned my own bar; I left the industry in ’96. Augie and Bobby at Bobby’s asked me to be a partner with them and run the spirits program. The only two guys who could have gotten me back into operations were the guys who knocked on my door.

How did you learn to mix drinks? A few different things — when I was younger, it was being taught by people who were more experienced than me. Then it was, the more I did it, the more I learned. When I really stepped up to the next level was when I was selling spirits — then you’re going to the distilleries, learning how things are made. You learn more about the science. I have a culinary background as well, and when the mixology movement took off, it was something I was interested in.

What’s the bar program at Bobby’s like?

It’s interesting. The term “mixology” has gotten so widely used that I despise the term now.

When we started the bar at Bobby’s I wanted to do something people weren’t doing on the North Shore or in the suburbs — creative, high-quality ingredients were all downtown.

People have been drinking distilled sprits since the 1700s. You can’t reinvent the wheel, but you can make a better one.

Best cocktail tweak? One of my main philosophies is that we have a food kitchen and we have a liquid kitchen — all of my ingredients and juices are fresh, all my ingredients are the highest quality you can get. Everything we use as a mixer, we make [in-house].

My bartenders don’t use shot glasses. We use measuring cups, down to an eighth of an ounce.

Favorite drink to make? My favorite spirit, by far, is tequila; I do a lot of different spins with margaritas, and if someone asked me out of the blue to make them something to knock them out of their socks, it would definitely be some form of a margarita.

Worthwhile gadget? We use three different shapes of ice at Bobby’s — for your normal mixed drinks, we use small square cubes, because you want them to break down and dilute the drink as someone’s sipping. For small batch whiskeys and bourbons, we have a large cube — that cube takes an awful long time to melt, so it’s not diluting the spirit. Last but not least, we use a large round sphere cube, about the size of a hardball baseball. We use that in single malt scotch — the ice spins and cools it as they take a sip.

Best bar story? When you have somebody say, “I’ll try it, I’ve never had that” and you make it for them and they say, “Wow, that’s fantastic — I don’t even usually like this.”

Bobby’s Deerfield is located at 695 Deerfield Road in Deerfield. For more information visit bobbysdeerfield.com or call 847-607-9104 ■

Establishments gird for St. Paddy’s fun

news digest >> from 24

Bridie McKenna’s will offer corned beef and cabbage along with a Guinness among other fare on St. Patrick’s Day.

photography by joel lerner ■ by angelika labno When Sally Lindi was growing up, St. Patrick’s Day was bigger than Christmas.

The youngest of seven in an Irish family, Lindi remembers hanging around the family restaurant — Hackney’s on Harms in Glenview — and dressing every bottle with a green ribbon. As evening fell, however, the kids had to clear out for the adult celebrations.

“We’ll all be exhausted afterward — but it’s so worth it.” | Lori Slager Now a manager of Hackney’s on Lake Avenue in Glenview, Lindi says that the holiday has become more of a kids’ day in the last 20 years.

“The whole concept of the holidays has turned into a family event,” said Lindi, “but it’s still been our busiest day for 75 years — no matter what day it falls on.”

With March 17 falling on a Monday this year, some North Shore Irish establishments are opting to start the celebration well before that.

Hackney’s, with its trail of shamrocks and kellygreen lights, put the kitchen into holiday mode this

past Monday, offering corned beef, cabbage, Guinness potato soup and homemade dark rye bread every day of the week. The kid-favorite bagpipers in kilts will play Friday through Monday. A themed balloon man entertains on Sunday, and a piano player will pound out Irish tunes Monday evening.

At O’Neil’s in Winnetka, the menu has been painted green. Along with corned beef, cabbage and shepherd’s pie will be a side of green pasta with pesto and green beans. Bartenders will be serving a special concoction named the “Irish Buck” consisting of Irish whiskey, lime juice and ginger beer.

Traditional Irish Trio Band with Paddy Homan entertains on Monday night.

Bridie McKenna’s in Highwood mixes up traditional and modern entertainment this weekend. Guests are encouraged to sing an Irish song on Friday’s karaoke night, then pass the microphone to Irish rock/traditional band Tim O’Shea and Friends on Saturday.

Seamus O’Kane appears on Sunday. Bridie’s is usually closed on Mondays, but it will make an exception for its trademark holiday with bagpipers, Irish dancers and a deejay until midnight.

The staff at Bridie’s found that offering a limited menu of appetizers and Irish comfort food keeps both parties happy.

“It’s my favorite week of the year,” said Bridie’s manager Lori Slager. “It’s so energized, and we’ll all be exhausted afterward — but it’s so worth it.” ■

manager of cooperative programs for the North Suburban Special Recreation Association. “Finally when the big performances come, it is great to see how much work they have put in, knowing where they’re supposed to be on stage, what their lines are. I look forward to it every year.”

Performance partners will nearly double the actors as there will be 11 actors and 19 Creative Companions.

“The Companions portion of the program has grown so much,” Kotloski said. “We started out the first year trying to recruit more people.

Now, we are bursting at the seams.”

Tickets are available at northbrooktheatre.org and at the Leisure Center Box Office. For information, call the Northbrook Park District Performing Arts Office at (847) 291·2367 or the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association at (847) 509-9400

Northbrook The artwork of residents will be on display next month at the library.

The Northbrook Arts Commission, in collaboration with the Northbrook Public Library, will conduct the 2014 Northbrook Originals Juried Exhibition for Northbrook artists. The 11th annual show will be on exhibit in

the library from April 1-30.

Arts Commission members note that the event is an opportunity for Northbrook’s artists to have their original artwork seen by the community. Artwork that has been previously displayed in the library is not eligible for the exhibit.

“This is a community event with a mixture of professional artists and amateurs,” said Julia Miller, chair of the Arts Commission. “There will be work by photographers who exhibit rarely. It is a chance to see a neighbors artwork on the wall.”

Forty-nine pieces from 42 artists will be on display, primarily on the second and third floors of the library. The exhibit of two-dimensional and three-dimensional works is open during regular library hours.

The exhibit is limited to Northbrook residents who are 18 years of age and older. All exhibiting artwork is recent work, original in concept and execution.

Prices are not provided on artwork, but the exhibiting artist’s contact information will be provided.

In other arts news, the village has begun planning of its annual fine arts festival, Art in the Park, which will be July 13-14.

Signature look Alfieri's versatile play spoke volumes — as did his wardrobe ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Michael Alfieri didn’t just show up and sit in a bleacher seat to watch Deerfield High School JV boys basketball games this winter.

The Warriors’ 6-foot-4 senior forward on varsity yanked heads and made eyes pop — with his wardrobe choices.

“He once wore a weird hat that made him look like somebody from the 1950s,” Deerfield senior guard and leading scorer Eric Porter recalled. “Then there was the time he tucked his sweatpants into his socks.

“That’s a look,” he added, “that wouldn’t look good in any country or in any era. He’s also got some hideous-looking sweaters.”

On game days for Deerfield’s varsity, members were required to wear ties. But Alfieri, a three-year varsity hoopster, never opted for a regular one.

“He wore bow ties,” Warriors coach Dan McKendrick said. “Michael has flair and an interesting personality.”

Alfieri also stood out when he was wearing what his teammates wore: basketball threads. As an integral member of the 2013-14 Central Suburban League North champions, he led a 17-9 team in rebounds (5.6 per game), ranked second among Warriors in blocked shots (18) and ended up No. 2 in scoring (8.8 per game) while shooting 58 percent from the field, including 47 percent from three-point land (11-for-23).

The presence this winter of Jack Lieb, a 6-8 junior forward, allowed Alfieri to display his perimeter skills more than he had in previous seasons.

“He got to guard the second-tallest player in games, not the tallest, and he continued to draw a lot of fouls with his shot fakes,” McKendrick said. “Michael did a little bit of everything for us.”

Alfieri had one of his best games in his final game against Highland Park on Jan. 25, scoring the visiting Warriors’ final eight points of the second quarter and finishing with 15 points and five rebounds in a 57-47 victory.

“That had to be our most meaningful win of the season, because we had lost to Highland Park on our court [on Dec. 6],” said Alfieri, who moved from California to Deerfield in the summer before his freshman year and played soccer, basketball and volleyball in his first year at DHS. “We needed that win to have a shot at reaching one of our goals [CSL North title].”

But another aim fell short when Deerfield lost 59-48 to Warren in a Class 4A McHenry Regional semifinal on March 4.

“Even though we didn’t win a regional like we had hoped, the friendships we made as teammates made the season a great one,” said Alfieri. “It was a perfect group of kids, our team. We all cared about the game and we all loved the game.”

Alfieri made his love for the game crystal clear — while temporarily on his backside — during a game at Highland Park his junior season. He had fallen near a free-throw line while getting fouled in the process of shooting. He had executed one of his signature shot fakes before the attempt.

The ball went in.

“There Michael was, on the floor with his arms straight up [touchdown signal], index fingers extended,” McKendrick recalled. “He then turned his head to look at our bench and had a huge smile going. His look said, ‘Did you see that?

How’d you like that?’

“That’s probably my favorite moment involving Michael.”

A basketball fanatic, Alfieri admitted that when he’s not playing hoops he’s either watching a hoops game or playing

Michael Alfieri averaged 8.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game for the Warriors.

photography by joel lerner PlayStation hoops. He hopes to continue his basketball career at a Division III school.

“Michael was more versatile and a huge part of our team this year, especially on offense,” said Porter, who averaged a team-best 15.9 points per game and shot 40 percent (61for-152) from three-point territory in 2013-14. “His passing ability widened defenses and opened things up for our guards. And he did many things well for us off the block, things that guards usually do, like bringing the ball up.

“We trusted him when he had the ball.”

They also relied on Alfieri to keep things light at times, no matter what their fun-loving forward happened to be wearing.

“Michael brought a lot of humor to our practices and to our team in general,” McKendrick said. “But there’s also a competitive side to him, an edge he used well. He’s earned the chance to play [in college] and I know he’ll do well at that level because of his skill set. Division-III players play basketball because they love basketball, and there’s no question Michael loves the sport.” ■

Long shot bid falls short for Lutz, Spartans ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Ethan Lutz couldn’t resist going to the white bird on the aqua blue screen.

A couple hours after Glenbrook North was eliminated from the state boys basketball playoffs, senior guard (@emoneylutz2) took to Twitter.

“Excited to devote the next chapter of my life towards becoming a men’s league basketball legend” A reflective Lutz knew this day would come. The senior guard, who made 38 percent of his long-range shots this season, knew the Spartans (8-19) were a long shot against host New Trier in a Class 4A regional semifinal game on March 2.

The Spartans put up a fight but wound up losing the game 59-47.

No fairy tale ending. No Cinderella story.

“We played hard all year. We competed,” said Lutz. “New Trier was a little better than us.”

Lutz, a two-year varsity performer, was one of the team’s stat leaders. The lefty averaged 7.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He shot 45 percent from the field and 74 percent from the foul line.

“I tried to do a little of everything for our team,” said Lutz.

“He’s been a pleasure to coach,” said veteran head coach David Weber. “He came early to practice and usually was one of the last ones to leave.

“He put everything into his game,” the coach added. “He shot the deep three, and he was a good passer who got his teammates involved.”

Lutz also has been a solid citizen inside the GBN hallways.

“He’s a great kid at school,” said Weber. “With the way he lives his daily life, he has represented our school well.”

Lutz has been rewarded for his efforts in the classroom.

Senior guard Ethan Lutz, seen here during the regular season, wound up scoring 7.5 points per game for the Spartans.

photography by george pfoertner He will head to the University of Michigan in the fall where he plans to study business and political science.

Like a lot of youngsters growing up, the 6-foot-1, 170pound Lutz spent a lot of time playing one-on-one against

his dad in the driveway. He’s not even close to saying goodbye to the game.

Before he turns his attention to a “men’s basketball league,” Lutz aims to hone his skills in pick-up games and intramural basketball in Ann Arbor. And it won’t be hard to root for the reigning NCAA runner-up Wolverines.

“I’m pretty excited about all that,” he said.

Lutz also is pretty confident about GBN’s future. He doesn’t think the Spartans will stay down for the long.

“One down year,” said Lutz. “There’s nothing to worry about. We’ll bounce back. Soon, we’ll be making another run of conference championships.”

Sub .500 seasons are a rarity at Glenbrook North. This was Weber’s first losing season in 20 years, including 19 as head coach, at the school.

“It’s different,” said the coach. “But it’s part of life. If you coach long enough …”

“I’m going to miss these kids,” added Weber, who guided his 2004-05 team to a state title. “We had a nice nucleus of players. I really enjoyed them. These guys could’ve given up. But they never did.”

Weber sees a promising future. GBN’s sophomore team went 7-3 in the CSL North, while the freshman A and freshman B teams were undefeated against league competition.

The team’s top player this season was junior forward Jan Siegien, who tallied a team-high 15 points in the loss to New Trier. The all-league selection led the Spartans in scoring (15.2). He shot 40 percent from beyond the arc and made 54 percent of his two-point field goals.

Weber also is high on junior guard Matthias Kim and junior Pat Hamilton (4.8 points per game).

“We’ve got some guys to build with,” said the coach.

Notable: Senior Cameron Liss finished as the team’s top rebounder (5.5). The 6-5 center was second in scoring (8.8).

The leader in assists was point guard Brett Werner (75).

The other top contributors were seniors Michael Keane, Sean Katz and Cameron Werhane. ■

Nick Day has tallied 41 goals and 35 assists for the Glenbrook North hockey team.

photography by george pfoertner

As a hockey player you can typically only go so long without sustaining an injury.

Glenbrook North’s Nick Day avoided the injury list throughout high school, until that is he sustained an ankle injury early in December. Although he hated missing close to a month of his senior season, it did, in retrospect, help him gain perspective.

“It really taught me about taking advantage of every moment,” he said.

Which he has done and then some.

In 54 games, Day has scored 41 goals and contributed 35 assists. He leads the team with an average of almost 1.5 points per game.

“The thing that impresses me the most about Nick is his will to win and that he comes through in every situation,” Spartans coach Evan Poulakidas said. “We don’t have the same type of offense that we had last year and he’s helped us a lot by becoming better defensively.”

Added senior Parker Roth: “He battled through that injury and showed how determined he was. He proved he’s one of the best forwards in the state.”

This has also been a season where Day, the Spartans’ captain, has emerged as the team’s leader.

“He wears his ‘C’ well,” Poulakidas said.

“Everyone respects him and when he talks, people listen.”

Day typically gathers the team up before each game.

“I like to motivate the team and get

everyone pumped up,” he said. “It was an honor to be elected captain by my teammates; it’s been a great opportunity.”

To prepare for his senior season, Day spent a lot of time working on his shot. In his basement, he has a sheet of synthetic ice which allows him to shoot pucks and get the feel of the ice. To keep things interesting, he would have accuracy competitions with his younger brother Joe, a sophomore.

“I took a lot of shots over the summer and it paid off,” Day said.

Spartans Celebrate Championship There was plenty of drama – fitting for the stakes involved – but in the end Glenbrook North can call itself the Scholastic Hockey League Champions.

In a best of three series against Loyola Academy Gold, Glenbrook North won the opening game 4-3 before dropping the second game 2-1. The loss snapped the Spartans’ 14-game winning streak.

Perhaps Glenbrook North will get a new streak going. They started one Sunday by scoring a 2-0 victory to claim the league title.

“We were real sound defensively (throughout),” said Poulakidas who was selected as the AHAI Coach of the Year. “Once we got our second goal we went into a trap and they had trouble (countering) it. It was just a great series with two of the best teams in the state. It went back and forth just like it should have.”

The Spartans were scheduled to play Naperville Central on March 11 in the Blackhawk Cup playoffs. ■

GBS's McCarthy makes his presence felt in two sports

The big kid has a mound presence.

His fastball will get your attention.

It’s fast. Freaky fast.

Conor McCarthy, a 6-foot-6, 240pound right-hander, can touch 89 miles per hour on the radar gun.

Impressed?

Villanova University was. McCarthy will pitch for the Philadelphia school next season.

This winter, the Glenbrook South senior made his presence felt on the basketball court.

In his team’s two games at the Class 4A New Trier Regional, McCarthy attracted his share of double — and sometimes triple — teams.

But that didn’t keep him from pounding away. That didn’t deter him.

The big man scored 17 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in a 58-51 semifinal win over Chicago Lane on March 5.

Instant replay, anyone?

Two nights later, McCarthy put up those exact numbers in a hard-fought 51-45 loss to the host Trevians.

He was the “other major” option on a team led by star shooting guard Danny Nikitas.

“He was a big part of our team. A huge asset,” said Nikitas, who tallied a combined 31 points in the two playoff games. “It was nice having a 6-6 kid who wasn’t a rail. Instead, Conor is a big kid who could move and hit the outside jumper. And he’s got a real nice shooting touch for a big man.”

Glenbrook South head coach Ben Widner was thrilled to have a strong scoring threat inside.

Having McCarthy as a “black hole” was just fine with the GBS coach.

“We want him to look to score,” said Widner, following his team’s win over Lane. “And that’s what he wants, too.”

“My role is to be one of the playmakers on the team,” said McCarthy, standing outside the locker room, a few feet away from this coach on March 5. “I’m looking to attack. I’m looking to score when I get the ball inside. If it’s a one-on-one situation, I can convert.

For Jeanne and Bob, nothing beats visiting a lake house

A lake house is something we always wanted when we were younger.

We started with a cottage in Michigan on Indian Lake. It became an every-weekend spot for our family in the summers, even though it was a good two-hour drive. It became a wonderful tradition.

“We play cards and dominos. We head out on water skis and go tubing. Some of the kids like to go fishing.”

Jeanne Ebersole, a co-chair, and her husband Bob plan to attend the Family Service of Winnetka Northfield Annual Benefit March 21 at the Michigan Shores Club.

photography by joel lerner

Then we were transferred to New York. We found a lake house in New Jersey. When we moved back to Winnetka in 2008, we wanted a place a little closer than the Michigan spot.

Now we go to Mukwonago, Wis., about 75 miles away. It’s a lot more convenient not to have to go around Chicago to get there. We’re starting a new tradition with the next generation, the grandchildren. We spend a lot of time sitting on the deck. We play cards and dominos. We head out on water skis and go tubing. Some of the kids like to go fishing.

For meals we grill out – nothing fancy, usually hamburgers, chicken and steaks. When it gets to be tomato and corn season, that’s a highlight. If we go out, we typically find a pizza place or go to a casual spot called Fork in the Road.

We go just in the summer now, but since we retired, we’d like to use it more in the winter. We could go crosscountry skiing and snowshoeing. But I (Jeanne) won’t be going ice fishing.
