born to race

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

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

The dome — which rises 74 feet higher than that of the U.S. Capitol — is topped with 9,000 pieces of stained glass. Many ceilings feature gold leaf or elegant drawings.

Comfort zones Kitchen and bath areas become much more inviting

■ by bill mclean It is now possible for a number of North Shore residents to visit an archipelago without boarding a plane.

All they have to do is view a high-end kitchen, where one striking, marble-top island isn’t always enough in what is commonly referred to as the hub of the home. Two islands are necessary for some homeowners, with one serving as a station to prepare a dinner and the other providing an ideal place for a teen to sit and interact with parents when the iPad needs a rest.

“The kitchen has evolved to be the most intimate and personal gathering space in the home,” says Doug Durbin, CEO and design director of nuHaus, a Chicago-based company that specializes in designing, manufacturing and installing fine architectural millwork and cabinetry for kitchens. “The modern kitchen is broken down into more specific work zones that function very efficiently for multiple people.

“It’s a space,” he adds, “for making the morning coffee, cooking the evening meal, tackling homework, watching television or enjoying a glass of wine.”

Television shows are influencing the look of the modern kitchen, notes Studio 41 executive general manager John Mannion. Conventional sinks at a number of homes have morphed into restaurant-grade sinks, thanks in part to the Food Network and reality TV cooking competitions.

“Everybody wants to be Rachael Ray or [Chef] Emeril,” Mannion says. “But kitchens have turned into entertainment centers more than anything else. People, it seems, live in them for most of the day.”

Bathrooms, like kitchens, are no longer deemed utilitarian spaces at home, says

“The kitchen has evolved to be the most intimate and personal gathering space in the home.” | Doug Durbin Michele Vold, a broker at Coldwell Banker in Deerfield.

“These spaces are now being designed to be spa-like,” Vold says. “Beautiful showers and tubs cause you to linger there, and the extra storage being demanded causes the bathroom to function as a dressing room as well.

“Buyers,” she adds, “will always favor a home that has upgraded and updated kitchens and baths.”

People have dubbed walk-in pantries near kitchens “Costco closets,” because homeowners are buying a year’s worth of paper towels and other household necessities at the warehouse club and storing them not too far from a kitchen’s integrated refrigerator or nooks reserved for the use of technological gadgets.

“People love a walk-in pantry,” says Matt Huff, owner and president of Huff Real Estate Group in Winnetka. “It’s the way to go and it’s highly functional. As for the color of the kitchen, it’s white, white, white … classic white — that’s still the look most want in a kitchen.”

Grey, nuHaus’ Durbin points out, is a popular shade for kitchens because it’s a nice alternative to white.

“It’s a warm tonal color and, if used properly, can be a timeless choice for your kitchen,” Lake Forest kitchen

he says. “We gravitate toward timeless designs and try to avoid what we feel is ‘trendy.’ ” Mary Ann Hart Beardman espouses classic kitchen choices for her clients, though the principal of Bailey & Hart Interiors in Lake Forest is quick to remind, “Ten friends, 10 opinions.”

White isn’t just simple and clean.

“It’s casual and friendly,” Beardman says. “People want that when they’re in a kitchen. And it’s something that will last a long time.

White — it’s still huge in kitchens. What I’m against is a kitchen with 50 different kinds of tiles.

“You don’t want to walk into a kitchen,” she adds, “and think you’re in a quarry.”

There was a time when you could walk into a kitchen, reach for the knob of a cabinet and open it. There now exists an alternative to executing such a move because of souped-up kitchens.

“Cabinets can now be opened with a wave of a hand,” Huff says, referring to cabinets installed with motion sensors. “Crazy, isn’t it?

But it’s a nice convenience to have when you’re carrying something and it’s difficult to open the cabinet [conventionally].”

Technological advances are prevalent in bathrooms as well, from TVs integrated into mirrors to showers that disseminate aromatherapy and color therapy. Even mini refrigerators — also known as “beverage centers” — have migrated to the master bathroom in homes.

“People put bottled water, sodas, sometimes wine in there,” says Winnetka resident Catherine Karabas, a kitchen and bath designer at Spaces and Views in Highland Park and a former hairdresser.

“Young moms use the beverage centers to store baby formula.

“I’ve noticed clients are going back to classic looks [in kitchens and baths], but they’re also interested in doing a little something out of the ordinary.”

A 60-inch professional range in a kitchen isn’t ordinary, especially when the owner of such an appliance doesn’t cook. But it stayed put.

“Because it fit the design of the kitchen,” Karabas says.

The days and nights of moms and dads ordering their kids to vacate the kitchen because of issues such as limited space are long gone.

Kitchens these days — at least the ones without a pair of islands — could easily double as spacious rec rooms.

They’re not just for preparing food anymore.

“Whether a person cooks or doesn’t cook, the kitchen is one of the most critical spaces in the house,” says Roberta Miller, a broker associate at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group in Lake Forest. “Families spend a good amount of time in there. The kitchen matters, and it’s becoming more and more comfortable of a place to sit, work, talk, use an iPad, go over a to-do list.

“And the changes in technology in all parts of a house … they’ve been so dramatic,” she adds. “Remember when it was mind-boggling when homeowners could control a light fixture when they weren’t at home?”

Vittoria Logli calls the kitchen a home’s heart. The broker at @ properties in Glenview has noticed buyers don’t seem at all interested in what was once a home’s anchor: the living room, a space that might very well be on its last (chair) legs.

“Ten years from now,” Logli says, “people will be interested in having even more comfort in the kitchen. Sofas in the kitchen might not be too far away.” ■

THe North shore weekend | glenview, northbrook, deerfield | 4/12 – 4/13/14

A good run North Shore thrives with council-manager form of government ■ by bill mclean Decades ago as a student at New Trier High School, Will Jones worked for the Glencoe Park District. He spent time outdoors during summers, dutifully taking orders and serving the folks of his hometown.

“I got to see what it meant to work on behalf of a municipality,” Jones recalled. “Working at the local level opened my eyes.”

It opened doors, too.

Jones has served as Glencoe’s assistant village manager for more than three years. He worked for the city of Highland Park for 15 years prior to that, including stints as its public information officer and assistant finance director.

Both municipalities — as well as practically every other city and village along the North Shore — continue to thrive behind a council-manager form of government. Glencoe adopted its council-manager system exactly 100 years ago.

Glencoe, Highland Park and more than 200 other local governments in Illinois are recognized as professionally managed jurisdictions by the International City/County Management Association.

“It’s the perfect blend,” Highland Park city manager David Knapp said of the system of government in which an elected board or council — and each entity’s mayor or village president — works closely with either an appointed village or city manager.

“We’re like CEOs who run governments instead of companies,” said Todd Hileman, Glenview’s village manager since 2004 and only the third to hold the position in the village in the last 55 years. “I enjoy it; no two days are the same.

“From my perspective the most important thing is for my staff to communicate with elected officials so that we can streamline government. Our village has an extremely professional reputation.”

Bob Kiely, Lake Forest’s city manger since 1990, noted most city managers in the early years of council-manager governments were engineers.

“They got those city manager jobs because they knew how to put in sewer systems,” said Kiely, who gets to serve

a city that’s celebrating its 75th year under a council-manager system.

“City managers don’t like the spotlight,” he added. “We’re focused on a partnership with our city’s leaders and we’re all apolitical at the local and federal levels. Not being affiliated with a political party leads to greater trust from the people in our communities.”

Kiely succeeded John Fischbach, who held the post from 1979-1990. In his 24 years as Lake Forest’s CEO, Kiely has worked with 12 mayors and city councils.

“It’s quite a feat, having the same form of government for 75 years,” he said. “It’s why Lake Forest is as successful as it is and why Lake Forest is as special as it is.”

Craig Malin, a Chicago native and the city administrator of Davenport, Iowa, called for the city of Chicago to shed its mayoral form of government and adopt a council-manager system in an op-ed piece that ran in the Chicago Tribune last fall. He fears his beloved hometown is wobbling toward the fate of Detroit, which became the largest municipality in U.S. history to enter Chapter 9 bankruptcy.

“There is no trained, experienced CEO at the helm, responsible for performance and reporting to the chairman (mayor) and board of directors (City Council),” he wrote.

“Chicagoans,” he added, “could run their city the way the majority of American cities are run. They could keep the colorful characters in elected positions, but those politicians could boast of excellent service provided by a professional cadre of managers and employees, rather than an antiquated horde that is really only useful one election day, every four years.”

Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Northbrook and Glenview, among other North Shore council-manager municipalities, each boasts a Standard & Poor’s credit rating of AAA — the highest rating.

But the appraisal isn’t based merely on a town’s financial health.

“Other factors go into that rating,” said Knapp, whose career in city management (in three states) started in

1970. “How prudent is the council’s decisions? How competent is the leadership? In my opinion managers should always be looking for ways to enhance services and reduce costs for a city.”

Jones’ boss is Glencoe village manager Phil Kiraly, and they make up half of the manager office’s full-time staff.

The others are an executive assistant and an IT director.

The quartet oversees a wide range of services, from tree trimming and removal to emergency medical needs and building inspections.

And, yes, sewer management.

“A professional manager and the manager’s staff are in charge of running the day-to-day operations of a village or a city,” Jones said. ■

Author injects humor into untying the knot ■ by jenna schubert

The words “smiling” and “divorced” don’t often go together, but aut hor a nd Glenview resident Jack ie Pilossoph managed to squeeze them both into the title of her website and book by the same name, Divorced Girl Divorced Girl Smiling by Smiling — a Jackie Pilossoph humorous and insightful exploration of the ups and downs of divorce.

Pilossoph’s interest in writing developed while she was earning her master’s degree in journalism at Boston University. After completing her degree, she stayed home to care for her children and decided to take up a few creative writing projects: screenplays, novels, and more.

Soon after, she self-published two novels on relationships — Jackpot! (2011) and Hook, Line, and Sink Him (2012) — and completed her first book on divorce, Free Gift With Purchase (2012). The book met with such success that the following year, Pilossoph was inspired to start her own website and blog, Divorced Girl Smiling, to further explore the topic of divorce.

The website, which began as a way for Pilossoph to vent about the frustrations caused by her own experience with divorce, soon became something much more.

“I realized that it wasn’t about me — it was about any man or woman navigating divorce,” Pilossoph says. “That’s when I really felt like I had a platform to help people.”

Her blog takes a humorous approach to inspire readers to free themselves from the negativity often associated with divorce.

Pilossoph illustrates her points with examples from her own divorce, noting the right and wrong decisions she made along the way. Her goal is to create a brighter outlook for divorced men and women.

“I think I have a voice that’s very relatable, non-judgmental, down-to-earth, funny, entertaining, and real,” she says. “And I think that’s why the website has been so successful. The views have skyrocketed more than I could have imagined.”

Since her website went live, Pilossoph has received numerous emails from readers, thanking her for her writing. For many, it is a comfort to receive advice from someone other than a therapist.

“Therapists are great, but sometimes people want to talk to someone who isn’t a therapist, but who has been through it,” she says.

The success of Pilossoph’s website led to the book, a 294-page self-published novel which came out in December. It has led to a number of opportunities for Pilossoph, who is scheduled to appear on the Steve Harvey Show, during which she will give advice to divorced women.

To promote her book and to bring attention to a cause she values, Pilossoph held a fundraiser at Pinstripes in Glenview in January.

Seventy percent of the event’s ticket sales (approximately $3,200) was donated to The Lilac Tree — an Evanston-based non-profit

Currently, Pilossoph is working on her next project, which is a non-fiction book on divorce.

She is also a regular Huffington Post divorce blogger and enjoys spending time with her two children at their home in Glenview — where she hopes to stay for many years.

“The North Shore is a really special place — it’s sophisticated and beautiful, and the people are so nice,” she says. “I couldn’t ask for anything more of my community.”

A work from the 2013 Art by the Inch competition.

gallery

Artistic competition fits the bill with birdrelated canvases ■ by kevin beese

Jan Borre spends much of her time teaching art to children.

The Art by the Inch competition at Art Post Gallery in Northbrook gives her an opportunity to put her knowledge into action.

“It motivates me to do something for myself,” Borre said. “I probably would not do (the painting) otherwise.”

So she entered last year’s inaugural Art by the Inch competition. The Wilmette resident captured one of the three top honors, picking up a cash prize of $200 and having her work purchased for an additional $150.

Eighty-one 6-inch-by-6-inch canvases,

Christina, owner of Art Post Gallery, with the contest, noted that nearly half of the contestants — 45 of the 100 — are back from last year.

The genesis of the contest, Bates said, was his wife, who he says has the largest inventory of original artwork on the North Shore, getting one or two requests every week from local artists wanting to display their work at the gallery. Art Post, he noted, only deals with professional artists.

“Most local artists are not in the business. It is more of a hobby for them,” Bates said. “One hundred percent of the people (Chris) works with are professional artists.

But she felt the need to support the local arts community.”

“It is not just their husband saying ‘Good work.’ Their art is on display at an event with wine and small bites.” | Scott Bates with the theme “Botanical Magnified,” were displayed in a 9-foot-by-9-foot matrix at the gallery last year. This year the competition, featuring the theme “Feathers, Wings, Beaks & Bills,” has been expanded to 100 canvases displayed in a 10-foot-by10-foot matrix.

Competitors will use their imagination to create a work of art capturing all or part of the two-legged, egg-laying, feathered creatures.

“I think it is a creative idea,” Borre said of the contest, which she has entered again this year. “You get a lot of artists, and no matter what their background is, no matter how good they are, everyone has an opportunity to participate.”

The second Art by the Inch contest is set for 5-8 p.m. April 24 at Art Post Gallery, 984-G Willow Road (in the Willow Festival Shopping Center near Whole Foods) in Northbrook.

Scott Bates, who assists his wife

Chris Bates has run Art Post Gallery for 34 years, taking a small framing and art supply shop and turning it into a high-end framing business and art gallery, with the second largest collection of original artwork in the Chicago area.

Forty-three of this year’s competitors are independent; the other 57 represent art leagues in the Chicago area, including 24 from the Glenview Art League, seven from the North Shore Art League, four from the New Trier Extension and four from the Nature Artist’s Guild.

Scott Bates said the competition and showing is a chance for validation of local artists’ work.

“It is not just their husband saying ‘Good work.’ Their art is on display at an event with wine and small bites. We are planning on 300 people.

“It is a nice way to support the arts community. These are people who don’t typically get a lot of press.” ■

Anthony Iacopetti is happy to be part of the re-emergence of the Cadwell’s Corner shopping center.

After operating in Glenview for 11 years, Iacopetti has opened a second Studio A North Salon and Spa in the Deerfield plaza.

“I’ve had my eye on that corner,” Iacopetti said of Lake Cook and Waukegan roads. “I am excited to be part of the renaissance at Cadwell’s Corner, where all but three business had closed.”

Iacopetti said that the construction on Lake Cook took a toll on many businesses, especially restaurants. He said Cadwell’s Corner is a hidden gem.

“It is a great intersection, with plenty of parking and a class property manager,” said the former employee of Heidi’s at Northbrook Court. “It is a matter of time until things there come around. It is like an undervalued stock. I plan to be there awhile.”

The Deerfield location of Studio A North, located at 47 N. Waukegan Road, will have an open house for hairdressers – even though customers will not be turned away – from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 14 and 21.

monwealth Edison electricity supply rates.

There are 71,000 customers in the consortium. Residents and small-businesses in the eight consortium communities are estimated to have saved a total of $32 million from the consortium’s efforts.

“At the time (the consortium was created), it was not estimated how much would be saved,” said Will Jones, assistant village manager of Glencoe, one of the consortium communities. “However, we knew we had a real opportunity for residents and businesses to have lower rates.”

The consortium, consisting of Deerfield, Northbrook, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Park Ridge and Skokie, has secured an electricity rate of 6.688 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for June through May 2015 for the final year of the three-year contract. Even though an increase from the current rate of 4.99 cents per kWh, ComEd’s estimated rate for the same time period is 7.63 cents per kWh, 12 percent higher than the consortium’s rate.

Jones said it remains to be seen if the consortium continues beyond next year. He said that decision will likely be made later this year and that it would be premature to talk about the organization’s future at this time.

planned for Wednesday, in recognition of their efforts during the war. Representatives of the Glenview retirement community planned to drive the three veterans to Midway Airport for their flight.

The goal of the Honor Flight is to fly veterans who are in their late 80s and early 90s to the nation’s capital to visit the World War II Memorial that was completed in 2004, nearly 60 years after their wartime efforts.

“It has been an honor serving God and country,” Iacono said. “Participating in the Honor Flight is my way of honoring my

shipmates and all others that have served and are no longer with us.”

Northbrook

Two members of the village’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) served as medical volunteers in the recent Shamrock Shuffle race in Chicago.

CERT members Eva Jako and Ed Sampson were part of the medical team for the run, which had more than 30,000 participants and has become the largest 8-kilometer race in the United States.

NEWS DIGEST Jako and Sampson teamed with a Northwestern medical student and a member of the McHenry CERT to work at the finish line as spotter tower volunteers. Having a raised location allowed them to have a good view of runners in need of medical attention.

If a runner required medical assistance, the spotter tower directed medical teams to the individual.

Northbrook officials said Jako and Sampson’s role at the Shamrock Shuffle was “just one of the many ways the Northbrook community CERT team serves the local communities and uses these events to keep skills fresh and current.”

PREVIEW Deerfield

For the third consecutive year, the North Shore will unite in the fight against lung cancer with Breathe Deep North Shore.

The event, consisting of a five-kilometer fun run, a 1.5- and 2.5-mile walk, and a balloon launch, will be held April 27 at Deerfield High School. More than 230 participants have already registered and more than $74,000 has already been raised.

“As a lung cancer patient, I draw strength and hope from the support of my community,” said Jill Feldman, a Deerfield mother of four. “Breathe Deep North Shore is a fun and meaningful event to raise awareness and much needed funds for lung cancer research – the hope that lung cancer patients and their families desperately need.”

Event co-coordinators Sue Bersh and Cindy Schwartz expect more than 1,600 participants and hope to raise $185,000, which will support lung cancer research, early detection efforts, and more effective treatments. Last year, the event raised $170,000.

To sign up, go to http://events.lungevity. org/site/TR?fr_id=4360&pg=entry. To pay tribute to an individual in the community who is fighting lung cancer or who lost a fight with lung cancer, submit their name to northshore@lungevity.org.

Glenview

Three Glenview public safety dispatchers will be among the award recipients when the village bestows its Civic Awards on April 25 at North Shore Country Club.

Kirsten Stieglitz, Bonnie Henning, and Melinda Dragicevich will be among eight individuals honored because they “made a difference” in the community, according to village officials.

The three telecommunicators are being lauded for their work on Jan. 12, 2013, when they helped locate a suicidal subject who had called 9-1-1 asking for help and then hung up. After calling the number back and getting no answer, the dispatchers went through the woman’s cell phone company to “ping” the phone to get her general location.

They eventually got her on the phone and were able to figure out from information she provided where she was and got officers to her at Glenview Road and Glenayre Drive.

“We couldn’t have done it without each other,” Dragicevich said. “We all had different roles in finding her. We encountered an

otherwise terrible situation and turned it into a positive.

“You’re on a mission. Later you sit back back and realize what you did.”

Northbrook

Northbrook-On-Ice will celebrate its 45th year with four shows in May. Skating, costumes, props, lighting and dance numbers are all part of the spectacle.

A number of former show members will be part of “Skate Home Chicago,” planned for May 9-11 at the Northbrook Sports Center.

“We have approximately 35 alumni (Icettes and guys) who will perform in the show this year,” said Heather Aseltine, a former national collegiate champion skater and Northbrook-On-Ice veteran who directs the show. “The theme was selected as a salute to our returning alumni; and, throughout the show, audience members will experience the highlights of Chicago, including sports teams, special events, nightlife and business.”

The show was created in 1969 as an Ice Follies-style presentation to showcase the talents of area skates. In 2012, Northbrook-On-Ice won the Outstanding Special Event Award from the Illinois Park and Recreation Association.

Aseltine and Ashley Gallagher, both Northbrook Park District employees and former Icettes, will be among the 350 skaters in this year’s show. Returning alumni include mothers of current skaters.

Performance times are 7 p.m. May 9, 1 and 6 p.m. May 10, and 1 p.m. May 11. Tickets are $8 to $12.

For information, call (847) 291-2993.

Northbrook

When he and Susan Carrington started Northbrook Community Television’s “Talk Around Town,” Jack Coombe thought the show would last two years at the most.

“I figured we would run out of guests,” Coombe said.

After close to 200 guests and a 20-year run, Talk Around Town will have its final show April 28.

“I was taken by surprise,” Coombe said.

“We gave it our all, but who would have guessed we would equal ‘Gunsmoke’ ? I need to get hold of (Gunsmoke star) Jim Arness and tell him.”

Coombe and Carrington will continue to co-host “Northbrook Newsletter,” which they also began 20 years ago.

Coombe said he and Carrington will continue to do Northbrook Newsletter “until we both look at each other and one of us says, ‘Kiddo, I’ve had enough.’”

Plenty of politicians and one noted actor, Joe Mantegna of the television show “Criminal Minds,” have been guests on Talk Around Town, Coombe said.

An entertainer since childhood when he sang and danced in Vaudeville with the likes of Mickey Rooney and Jackie Coogan, Coombe said he has always been in the entertainment industry. Having been in two movies, as well as performing on television and radio, Coombe said “once (performing) is in your blood, it never leaves. It is almost an obsession.”

A reception in honor of Carrington and Coombe will be held at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Northbrook Village Hall. ■

18 | lifestyle & arts sunday breakfast ■ by david sweet After devoting five days to making money for clients in the world markets, each weekend Steven Hefter and his wife, Janice, go on a double date at Eggsperience Café in Bannockburn.

The other diners at the table? Their fathers, who are 85 and 90, respectively.

“I really treasure those breakfasts,” says Hefter who, like his dad Harry, orders a large glass of orange juice with a double shot of wheatgrass. “I cherish each moment together, k now i ng these moments will not last forever.”

On the menu, one item is called “eggceptional” — wh ich also describes Hefter’s performance as a financial Steven Hefter advisor.

For the seventh year in a row, Barron’s tapped the Highland Park resident as one of the Top 100 Financial Advisors in the United States — and for the fifth year straight, he was the top-ranked one in Illinois.

Overseeing a typical account of $7 million at Hefter, Leshem, Margolis, a capital management group of Wells Fargo Advisors (where his average client enjoys a net worth of $30 million), Hefter invests with equity managers whose volatility measures are below that of the S&P 500 — even when their past returns may fall short of peers’.

“If you have a manager with a beta of 1.2 (higher risk than normal), when the market is down 40 percent, he may be down 50 percent,” explains Rafter, sitting in a confer-

Financial advisor is on the money once again

ence room in his Deerfield office.

Early in 2013, Jim Paulsen — chief investment strategist of Wells Capital Management — explained he thought the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, then around 1.65, would hit 3 before year’s end. Hefter and his team sold all fixed-rate investments and purchased floating-rate bonds, achieving big success as Paulsen’s prediction came true.

Hefter started moving money into Europe last summer (about one-third of a typical account is devoted to U.S. stocks), but he’s not as excited about the continent’s prospects today. The Japanese market, which has underperformed the past six months, intrigues him, but since he expects the yen will weaken against the dollar, the only way his team would invest is to hedge, he notes.

“It’s fascinating to me to look at all of these global asset classes and figure out where I want to be,” says Hefter, who anticipates a 10 percent market correction within the next year.

At 13, with bar mitzvah money in hand, Hefter started checking the stock listings in the newspaper. He bought 10 shares of Sperry Rand at around $13.

“That got me interested. I’d check how it did every day in the afternoon Chicago Daily News,” he recalls.

As a junior at Stanford University, he decided to audit an off-campus course run by a stockbroker. The man explained why to use illustration by barry blitt charts to time investments; when a company would break through its 50-day moving average, for example, that would be a signal to buy.

“That was probably the most beneficial class I took in college,” says Hefter, who even formed a group in his dormitory the following year to chart stocks.

While earning a master’s of business administration at Harvard University, he interned at Morgan Stanley in New York, observing everything from bond sales to investment banking. He decided high-net-worth sales was his calling — but Morgan Stanley didn’t hire MBAs for that role.

Enter Goldman Sachs, where he learned tough lessons during an intensive training program. When, during one

class, fellow trainee Jim Cramer asked if he could take Friday off to attend his sister’s rehearsal dinner, he was told by the Goldman Sachs superior it was fine — with the addendum, “just don’t come back on Monday.”

“He got across the importance of dedication. It’s the first time I had a strict disciplinarian,” says Hefter, who recalled one boss would frequently send him outside to procure a half-sour pickle and angrily mutter after a bite, “It’s not half-sour; it’s three-quarters.”

During his 12 years at Goldman, Hefter says the strength of his investing sprung from his relationship with in-house analysts. A company’s chief financial officer would share with analysts hints of what to expect in earnings and more — information that must be disseminated publicly first today — and that would be relayed to the sales force.

When he joined Wachovia Securities in 2007 (which was purchased by Wells Fargo the following year), Hefter finally enjoyed access to top money managers around the world (most firms require advisors to use company managers).

“When we found out we could have access to better returns for us and for our clients, that’s a huge difference,” the 60-year-old says. “We used to analyze individual companies and stocks. Now we can pick the best managers.”

During the 2008-2009 financial crisis (“it looked like the world was coming to an end,” Hefter recalls) he started steering clients into preferred stocks, whose yields often topped 15 percent.

“The government adopted a ‘too big to fail’ policy on banks. Buying their preferred shares at 70 percent below par value, our risk-reward was excellent,” says Hefter, who still devotes about 10 percent of a standard portfolio to preferred stocks.

Hefter compliments his team of eight, which includes Charles Margolis and Benjamin Leshem. They often take clients out to dinner where the discussion can include kids, politics, life — but never business. Yet satisfying those same clients’ expectations, Hefter says, is his biggest challenge.

“When the market was down 5 percent this year, a client said, ‘I can’t take it any more,’ “ recalls Hefter, who counts more than 200 households as clients. “And this was after it was up a lot last year. I said, ‘If we go into safer stuff and the market ends up 20 percent, will you be happy?’ “ With yet another Barron’s plaque to hang, Hefter is proud of what it means for his clients rather than himself.

“It conveys our concern for our clients’ welfare,” he says.

“It conveys that we’re trustworthy. To be on that list, you can’t have one complaint.”

Don’t expect the financial advisor to rest on his laurels anytime soon. Says Hefter, “I prefer work to golf. I don’t think I could ever retire because I enjoy it too much.” ■

love & marriage Presence of concierge will make a hash of wedding

I am not too proud to admit that I spend a lot of time on social media.

I enjoy Instagram photos of my friends and their kids having fun across the country. I appreciate when local stores post notices of big sales on Facebook and restaurants tweet the nightly specials. And I love a good text message.

It’s no surprise, then, that my fingers were flying when a colleague got married last fall. As quickly as she could walk down the aisle, I fired off a photo of the bride and her father to a slew of our coworkers. Via text messages and Facebook posts we agreed she looked stunning, and that her gown was just the style we imagined she would pick.

I sent more photos as she kissed the groom, marched back up the aisle on his arm, and mingled with guests at the reception. Our commentary continued long after I’d praised the cupcake buffet.

Nevertheless, I was a bit unsettled by the recent news that New York’s W Hotels are offering a Social Media Wedding Concierge Service, for a fee starting at $3,000.

At your direction, the concierge will work during your wedding and reception to post live updates to Twitter, Vine and Instagram.

He or she will also encourage wedding guests to use a custom wedding hashtag in their own social media activities. And after the wedding, the concierge will compile a book of social media highlights.

(For those unfamiliar with hashtags, they are labels attached to individual posts that allow most anyone online to find photos, video and other commentary related to your wedding. It’s like doing a keyword search at the library or a really precise Google search.)

My first reaction was one of disappointment. I firmly believe that a wedding is a moment in time shared among two people and the friends and family members with whom they choose to involve. I was a little turned off by the idea of another staff member prancing around the ceremony, less than discretely. After all, the concierge’s mission is to inspire action by others.

But then I considered all the people who decline invitations to attend a wedding: the infirm, new parents, medical students who

THe North shore weekend | glenview, northbrook, deerfield | 4/12 – 4/13/14

Foundation offers beacon of hope to depressed teenagers ■ by sheryl devore Erika’s Lighthouse Foundation began 10 years ago as a way for friends and family to grieve the loss of a 14-year-old girl from Winnetka who suffered from depression.

Tom and Ginny Neuckranz’s daughter, Erika, took her life. Grief stricken, family and friends wanted to know more about the disease and to educate others. Friends helped the family create the foundation while Erika’s friends started the Erika’s Lighthouse Club at New Trier High School.

“It was a real collaboration between all ages,” Ginny Neuckranz says. “These students were surprised that someone could die from [depression], and they wanted to learn about it and then they wanted to share it with their friends.”

They gave panel presentations and sponsored mental health days at school. Since its founding, Erika’s Lighthouse volunteers and staff have given presentations about depression at 54 schools, and online curriculum and videos have been downloaded in 34 states.

Today, through education, Erika’s Lighthouse is paving the way to remove the stigma and mystery behind major depression in teenagers. The foundation works to educate others about a disease that afflicts about 8 percent of teens in the United States, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Neuckranz wants parents, teachers and students to understand that depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, just like diabetes is an imbalance in the amount of insulin present in the body.

“We started the non-profit for Erika, but I want it to be for the kids who are living now,” she says.

The foundation visits schools to talk about the disease to staff and students.

“We show them what depression looks like, what treatment looks like and how to help their friends. It’s taking the stigma away,” she says. “We’re telling kids it isn’t something to be afraid of. This is an illness. You can get treated, and you can get better.”

Exercising, taking medication, getting counseling, talking with friends and family, doing something you love, eating right, getting enough sleep — these are all ways for teens to combat depression, Neuckranz says.

Erika’s Lighthouse Executive Director Peggy Kubert says Neuckranz has “made a huge difference” helping others to understand depression in teens.

“We get testimonials saying our programs have saved lives,” says Kubert, a licensed clinical social worker.

“Ginny and her husband Tom are extremely strong individuals. I’ve often said I don’t know of many people who could do what this family did — to be able to start the foundation and to really have it be strong, to start out after a loss and still be here 10 years later.

“Ginny has always been very clearly focused on what our mission is — it’s always been about depression awareness and encouraging good mental health. Ginny and the board intuitively knew that they wanted to approach this from the depression awareness path, rather than suicide prevention.”

Neuckranz notes a senior at a local high school recently watched a video produced by Erika’s Lighthouse. He later told a school counselor he was concerned about his friend because she was showing symptoms he had learned about on the video of depression. Now

that friend can get help, Neuckranz says.

In the next 10 years, Neuckranz hopes Erika’s Lighthouse can expand its programs to reach even more young people. She’s also excited about recent research being done by a professor at Loyola University to “show

that what we’re doing makes a difference.”

Erika’s Lighthouse is holding a 10th anniversary gala at 6:30 p.m., May 3 at Michigan Shores Country Club in Wilmette.

Titan's trot: Lindsey Karsh, Calie Nowak, Kelly Ward, Carly Weinman and Olivia Eigel return to midfield for a faceoff following a goal in GBS’s 17-2 win over Stevenson.

Receiving high marks Karsh tallies seven goals for Midwest-ranked Titans ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com Maybe she had lost track of the number of goals she scored.

More likely, Glenbrook South freshman midfielder Lindsey Karsh cared more about her lacrosse team’s 17 goals than she did about her team-high seven tallies.

“Oh really?” Karsh said when informed of her impressive output in South’s 17-2 rout of host Stevenson on April 4.

“I didn’t know that.”

The humble reaction would not have surprised Titans coach Annie Lesch in the least. Minutes earlier Lesch raved about the selfless nature of her squad, which improved to 6-1 with the imposing victory.

“All of our players are concerned only about the team, not individual statistics,” Lesch said. “They’re not afraid to pass. And it’s a really well-balanced one — on attack, in the midfield and on defense, including our goalkeepers.”

Senior Evi Gountanis (first half) and junior Autumn Koh (second half) split keeper duties against the Patriots.

Karsh, meanwhile, whipped shot after shot past Stevenson’s overmatched goalkeeper. Two of her goals came in the last 3:36 of the first half, as GBS rolled to an 11-1 lead at the break.

“She’s fast and she has an eye for the goal,” Lesch said of Karsh, the lone freshman on varsity and already in her fifth year of lacrosse.

Added Titans senior midfielder Kelly Ward, an all-stater (honorable mention) last spring: “Lindsey’s speed is amazing and so is her stick handling.”

Glenbrook South went 2-1 in Florida during the team’s spring break trip in late March, with one of the wins coming against highly regarded Pope John Paul II High School (Boca Raton, Fla.). The victory had a lot to do with it being ranked 10th in the Midwest Region by Nike/US. “Everyone is a threat on our team,” said

Ward, one of nine Titans who scored against Stevenson. “We’re playing at a high level.”

Senior attack Calie Nowak and junior middie Olivia Eigel each notched two goals in Lincolnshire. Each also earned all state (honorable mention) status a year ago, when GBS captured a sectional title and lost 20-9 to New Trier in a supersectional (Elite Eight); NT ended up third at the state tournament. Glenbrook South junior middie Noreen Andersen is the team’s fourth returning all-stater (second team).

Ward, Carly Weinman, Gianna Phelan, Jane Brennan, Macy McPhilliamy and Perri Stewart scored a goal apiece for GBS at Stevenson.

“Crazy,” Karsh said of her team’s relentless effort on offense. “We came in knowing Stevenson is a tough team.

“Watch out for us.”

As she said that a few feet from the team’s bus, Ward stood nearby.

“I’m learning from the best,” Karsh said, smiling and looking right at Ward.

Notable: Glenbrook South hosts Maine South on April 11 at 6:15 p.m. … Host GBS beat Oak Park-River Forest 11-8 in a sectional final last May. … Lesch, on Titans goalkeepers Koh and Gountanis: “Both have different strengths.” … Ward, a brave soul, was the the only player on the field who wore shorts in the game at Stevenson on April 4, an evening of sleet, biting winds and mid-January temperatures. Everybody else wore either sweatpants or athletic leggings. “I don’t like [the extra clothing] when I play,” Ward said. … The Titans stayed in West Palm Beach on their spring break trip last month. “A lot of team bonding,” Karsh said of what the team gained in between games. … Only 37 seconds separated goals from Karsh and Nowak late in the first half at Stevenson. Nowak’s tally upped the Titans’ advantage to 10-1 at the 2:59 mark. … Devin McCue and Jayne Jablonski are Lesch’s assistant coaches. … Name game: Glenbrook South’s Autumn Koh plays a spring sport. ■

Theriault, Fine poised to hit routines after recovering from injuries

Ringin' it: Jeremy Fine of the Titans moves through his still rings routine during a dual meet against Evanston on April 1.

■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Glenbrook South senior gymnast Riley Theriault and junior Jeremy Fine hope to be done with drama. Each one had enough at the end of last season and this offseason.

Theriault’s adventure began during warm-ups of last year’s IHSA state meet. While executing a practice vault, he under-rotated his body and landed awkwardly on his left foot. Instead of competing in the meet, he was on his way to the hospital to treat his ankle injury.

“There wasn’t anything I could do,” said Theriault, who needed 12 weeks of physical therapy. “I was kind of in shock.”

Fine was in line to vault right behind Theriault, and he felt horrible for his friend and teammate.

“He had worked so hard and couldn’t compete,” Fine said.

“That was in the back of my mind the entire meet.”

Fine also was injured this offseason. In October, he hurt his right forearm while executing a move on the high bar.

When he went to the hospital to have the bone reset, it was not a pleasant experience.

“The stuff that was supposed to knock me out didn›t; not a pleasant experience,” he said. «I’ve become real superstitious about injuries. Anytime someone mentions (an injury) I knock on wood.”

Fine was a club gymnast exclusively until switching over to the high school level as a sophomore. He quickly embraced the team aspect that makes high school gymnastics special.

“In club, everyone does their own thing,” he said. “In high school, we cheer for each other and the atmosphere is more

uplifting and encouraging.”

Theriault said Fine has made a huge impact on the Titans.

“His work ethic is beyond amazing,” Theriault said. “He tries hard every single day and is a good role model for all of us. He loves the atmosphere of high school gymnastics and always supports the team.”

Coach Brandon Tucker said Fine was a different gymnast by the end of his sophomore season.

“He won our most improved award,” Tucker said. “He added something to help his score on every event which helped the team out. His biggest strength is that he does all the events and that comes with his years of experience.”

Fine said he always gets a rush from competition.

“For me, it’s about the momentum and enjoying the moment,” he said. “When you do a move (in certain events) it’s insane to think about how high off the ground you are.”

As for Theriault, his future beyond this season is looking pretty bright. An experienced caddy at the Glen View Club, he recently earned a scholarship from the Evans Scholar Foundation.

“Caddying has been a thing in my family,” he said. “I enjoy the sport and the chance to meet a lot of new and interesting people. It’s a great opportunity.”

Theriault said he is not a particularly good golfer but fortunately gymnastics doesn’t require making pressure putts or threading drivers down tight fairways.

His focus now is on not only qualifying for the IHSA state meet again but this time getting the chance to compete.

“I’m using what happened last year as motivation,” he said. ■

THe North shore weekend | glenview, northbrook, deerfield | 4/12 – 4/13/14

Spartans' Snyder eyes breakout season ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Corey Snyder thought he was done with gymnastics.

When the Glenbrook North junior was in middle school, he suffered injury after injury. The last two were the most painful, a stress fracture in his lower back followed by a collarbone fracture.

He had no intention of competing as a gymnast again but that changed just prior to his freshman season when Spartans coach Ryan Dul and several gymnasts began encouraging him to join the team.

“We knew he was pretty good and (asked) him to at least give it a try,” Dul said.

Snyder, somewhat reluctantly joined the team, but pretty soon was back in his element.

“They recruited me pretty well because they got me to do it,” Snyder said. “Probably about two weeks into my freshman season it was fun again.”

Snyder shook off the rust quickly. As a freshman, he qualified for the IHSA state meet in multiple events. His sophomore year, he was an all-around qualifier. This year, one of his goals is to break through and finish in the top 10 in the all-around and in individual events.

Interestingly, one of Snyder’s conditions for coming out was that he didn’t want to do the high bar.

“I had some fear doing certain skills and thought it would be more fun if I could (concentrate) on other events,” he said.

Pretty soon, he was not only back on the high bar but it became one of his signature events.

“I like watching him on high bars,” senior

teammate Philip Morreale said. “He does some moves you don’t see very many people do.”

Added Dul: “He saw that he might as well jump in there on the high bar and that made him an allarounder. I’m glad he stuck with it. It’s become one of his better events.”

Part of what made Snyder’s transition so smooth was that he embraced the team concept of high school gymnastics. This is in stark contrast to what he experienced at the club level.

“There’s not (much) smiling or laughing in club gymnastics; it’s more individual,” he said. “What’s great about high school gymnastics is that people cheer for you and support you. That makes it a lot more fun.”

Although Snyder is having plenty of fun, he’s also working hard. In fact, he sets the tempo for the team each day in practice.

“One of the most impressive things about Corey is his work ethic,” Morreale said. “He’s without a doubt the hardest-working kid on the team. Every practice, he does whatever he can to improve.”

Snyder’s drive and competitiveness are strengths, especially when channeled properly. In previous years, he would sometimes have trouble shaking off mistakes.

“He’s done a lot better with that and that comes with maturity,” Dul said. “He’s starting to (understand) you have to forget about mistakes and move on.”

Snyder prepared diligently for his junior season “I worked a lot harder in the offseason than the year before,” he said. “I’m really focused on cleaning up my routines and improving my difficulty by (implementing) new skills.” ■

Fast-rising Lebryk is all business for Titans ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Glenbrook South senior volleyball player Anthony Lebryk has always had the work ethic of an entrepreneur.

“I was that little kid who would always try and make money doing odd jobs,” he said. «I really got into lemonade stands and making a quarter a glass. That was a lot of money for me back then.”

All these years later, Lebryk is no longer a little kid. But the 6-foot-7 middle blocker maintains that same work ethic, and combined with his talent and height, that makes for a formidable combination. Lebryk will play Division I volleyball next year for Ball State University.

“He’s a very good blocker right now and he still has room for growth to be even better at the next level,” Glenbrook South coach Tim Monahan said. “I can’t wait to watch and root for him over the next four years.”

It’s been quite a meteoric rise for Lebryk, which not coincidentally, coincided with a big growth spurt.

“Honestly, I had never even really thought it was possible for me to play a collegiate sport at the time,” he said. “Ball State was the first school that reached out to me and they continued to show the most interest.”

Things began to change for Lebryk when he shot up four inches to 6-foot-4 as a sophomore.

Although he spent the season on the sophomore team, he began Lebryk house: Glenbrook South middle blocker Anthony Lebryk warms up prior to team’s match against playing club volleyball and quickly Vernon Hills. The senior is a Ball State recruit. photography by george pfoertner began to make a name for himself.

“I went from only being able to get a couple of inches above the net to a foot above,” he said. “I was taller and (became) more athletic and it was a completely different game for me.”

Although Lebryk is his team›s best player, you wouldn’t know if from the way he comports himself.

“I think one of his biggest characteristic is how humble he is,” junior outside hitter Wesley Blodig said. “He’s a great player but he never looks down on anyone and is always respectful. He’s a good role model for younger players because he’s such a team player.”

Lebryk is excited and encouraged by the way the team performed in its first two matches, two-set victories over Stevenson and Vernon Hills High School.

“I’m really happy with the way certain guys have proved themselves and showed that they can play varsity volleyball,” he said.

In those two matches, Lebryk collected a total of 10 block-kills.

“We see what that does to the other team and that brings us up a lot,” Blodig said.

“We go in the middle and celebrate and that gives us confidence to do it again.”

Monahan said Lebryk is poised for a tremendous senior season.

“We’ve been lucky to have a lot of really good middles in our program and he established himself in his first varsity season as the team›s top middle,” he said. “Not only does he (hit), but he’s one heck of a blocker.

He reads well and anticipates where the hitter is going to be. Already, he’s shut down some pretty big and talented hitters.”

Monahan noted that Lebryk is the first volleyball player he’s coached who also is a varsity golfer.

“You don’t see a lot of crossover in those two sports,” Monahan said with a smile.

“He’s a kid that keeps it fun and interesting. He’s got a great personality and is a good leader for us.” ■

Mounds of talent

Late-blooming Bordignon has ace material for Loyola — and Northwestern ■ by bill mclean

sports@northshoreweekend.com As a pitcher, Tommy Bordignon is a toddler.

But the Loyola Academy senior right-hander is pitching like a grown man these days, unleashing fastballs and other highly effective pitches past startled teens.

“The easiest 87-89 [mph] you’ll ever see,” Ramblers baseball coach Nick Bridich says. “Tommy’s delivery is unbelievably fluid; the ball explodes out of his hand.”

Now a co-ace with classmate and Villanova Universitybound righty Andrew Owen, Bordignon was primarily a productive hitter and smooth-fielding infielder before entering Loyola as a freshman from Glenview in 2010.

He pitched here and there before his junior season, when arm trouble kept him off the mound and entrenched at shortstop for his first full season on varsity. The 6-foot, 180-pounder now plays second base when he’s not on the mound for the Ramblers, who improved to 3-4 with their 3-0 defeat of host Hersey on April 5.

“Tommy hasn’t pitched a whole lot and he’s figuring things out mentally, trying to establish himself,” Bridich adds. “The physical tools he has, they’re exciting. There’s no question he’s there physically as a pitcher.

“I would not be surprised if he ends up throwing 91-93 [mph] next spring.”

Bordignon, ranked 40th in the Class of 2014 by Prep Baseball Report (PBR), will be in a Northwestern University uniform then, as an infielder/pitcher for the Wildcats.

“Being vocal and knowing guys behind you will make the plays,” he says of two of the keys to performing as an ace.

“Also important is consistently getting ahead of batters.”

Bordignon doesn’t have a bulldog mentality. It’s more akin to a pack of frothing bulldogs.

“He’s as competitive of a kid as there is,” Bridich says.

Adds Owen: “A hard-nosed kid with velocity.”

Bordignon’s bat speed came in handy against Hersey’s Huskies on April 5, as he went 3-for-4 and scored two of Loyola’s three runs in the shutout in Arlington Heights.

The Ramblers’ polished infield made three double plays behind sophomore starter Tom Giella (2-0), who threw a complete game and showed signs of ace material.

Bordignon caught scouts’ attention at a showcase in mid-June last spring, showing advanced arm strength as an infielder. He threw “… with carry, 86 mph across the diamond,” PBR noted on its website after the Northwest Suburban Baseball Tournament Showcase at St. Charles North. “Exchange was quick and clean, showed solid defensive actions.”

TRANSFORM YOUR

Here's the pitch: Tommy Bordignon, a Glenview resident, delivers pitches effortlessly — and effectively.

WITHOUT SURGERY OR D

photography by joel lerner

Bordignon also displayed an economy of emotion at the plate, beginning with his balanced stance. “Short stride, smooth load,” PBR added. “Bat path was short to the baseball with occasional lift, mostly line drive approach, 81 mph exit velocity from the tee.”

Bordignon, (0-1) in the early going this spring, admits most of his life revolves around baseball, but he finds time to get into CYO basketball.

Really get into CYO basketball.

His competitiveness means he treats each game as if it were Game 7 of an NBA playoff series.

Baseball Glenbrook South: Steve Stanicek, who played professional baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers (1987) and Philadelphia Phillies (1987), has started his first season as head baseball coach at GBS. He has replaced Bob Rosinski, who resigned in January.

Stanicek has been a highly successful high school coach. In 11 seasons at Homewood-Flossmoor and Lockport, he put together a 281-92 record with nine conference titles and seven regional titles.

Prior to playing professionally, Stanicek was a standout at the University of Nebraska. He earned first team AllAmerica honors in 1982.

Lake Forest High School grad Travis Myers is serving as GBS’s pitching coach.

He was a three-sport athlete for the Scouts who went on to pitch at Illinois Wesleyan.

He is the son of Tommy Myers, who was a head football and baseball coach at LFHS. His mother, Carol Myers, is a former head gymnastics coach at Deerfield High School.

Kristin and Ryan give new definition to country living

Living in Chicago, eating one’s daily meals in three different countries would prove quite challenging. But for Kristin and Ryan McCain, a trip to Monaco provided a unique opportunity.

“We started in Monte Carlo, having coffee and croissants, looking at all the yachts,” recalls Kristin of their vacation in March. “Then we took the scenic drive to Nice, with breathtaking views of the water. We visited the Musee Matisse and then had fresh salads and fresh pizza at an outdoor brasserie.

“We had the most gourmet dinner, whatever the chef wanted us to try — pastas and wonderful Italian wine made in the town.”

Time for a renovation?

Kristin McCain — who will co-chair Lake Forest Open Lands’ Cattails & Cocktails event in May — and her husband Ryan enjoyed a memorable trip to Monaco last month

No, not the house.

“That evening, we drove to Dolceacqua, a little town in Italy. We ate at a total hole in the wall that was almost made out of a cave. But we had the most gourmet dinner, whatever the chef wanted us to try — pastas and wonderful Italian wine made in the town.”

Back in Monaco at the end of the night — where they stayed at the Fairmont Monte Carlo — they tried their hand at the renowned casino next door.

The perfect day suffered a not-so-perfect ending. Explains Kristin, “We gave some money to the house.”

Other highlights of their stay included a tour of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco and of the Musée Océanographique de Monaco, once headed by Jacques Cousteau. Then it was time to head home.

Back on the North Shore, “we’ve had major vacation withdrawal,” Kristin says.

“We miss all of those wonderful meals where you sit for hours enjoying each other’s company. But it’s nice to remember that long, fabulous day in different countries.” ■
