This yacht club knows the ropes

hen one summons the phrase “yacht club,” different images shoot into the mind.

Thurston Howell III — who often sported a yachting cap on “Gilligan’s Island” — may be the first person to show up in the imagination, accompanied soon after by his wife, Lovey. Or perhaps the picture of an endless row of immaculate large boats in a harbor — manned by crews resplendent in white — pops up, followed by the soundtrack of cocktails clinking in the clubhouse.

The North Shore Yacht Club fits neither stereotype. Despite a lengthy pedigree (it opened in 1935), the volunteer-run club in Highland Park is low key.

Kayaks can be rented, and fire pits abound. The members? Consider this tidbit from a press release: “NSYC members are a warm and welcoming group.”

It’s doubtful yachters in Newport are making the same claim.

After nearly 90 installments of Perfect Weekend, Laura and Steven Knapp have captured the prize for shortest trip. They prefer to head from their Highland Park home to the yacht club, where Steve serves as vice commodore. Does this poobah look or sound like Thurston Howell III?

‘How we got through all that was miraculous’ 70 years later, North Shore veterans remember D-Day ■ by angelika labno For years, many people refused to step into the waters of Normandy, thinking it was sacrilegious to do so.

“In that invasion, it was so bloody that the water absolutely turned red,” says Stanley Spillar, 90, of Skokie, who landed on June 8, 1944, two days after the D-Day invasion. “There were bodies, arms, legs, all over in the water.”

Had it not been for the Allied invasion 70 years ago, however, the atlas as we know it may not exist today.

It was the “beginning of the end” of the war in Europe when British, Canadian and American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, France on the morning of June 6, 1944.

Weather conditions had pushed the invasion back a day, and the morning was still recovering from forceful winds and waves as high as six feet in midchannel. Unexpected cloudbanks caused many paratroopers to be dropped off target.

Spillar counts himself lucky to have arrived on Utah Beach two days after the invasion but recounts the weather being “quite rough.”

“It was very exciting but very scary on that ship and on the ropes, getting down into the water,” recalls the army medic of the 90th Infantry Division. “That’s when we began to appreciate the Navy; the water went only up to our knees.

We were able to come in very reasonable.”

The bad weather further threw the Germans off guard, as they were already reeling from a lack of leadership. General Erwin Rommel, who was in charge of the Normandy defenses, was on leave for his wife’s birthday, and Adolf Hitler believed the attack was a feint. The beaches were fully secured within several days, and the ousting of the Nazis began.

No official casualty figure for the invasion exists, but the U.S. National D-Day Memorial Foundation estimates more than 4,000 Allies died. More than 150,000 servicemen were involved.

“D-Day was very important, but one of the most costliest ventures we’ve ever fought,” says Glenn Felner of Glencoe.

“The tremendous amount of fire they had to undergo from the Germans that were already entrenched there — I have tremendous respect for those guys.”

Felner landed at Normandy six months after the invasion, catching the final days of the Battle of the Bulge with the 69th Infantry Division in the European Theater. He fought across Belgium and Germany, earning a Bronze Star Medal for capturing 32 Germans. He was also part of the advanced troops who liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp.

Felner returned to Normandy with his family years later to re-trace his war route and visit the Atlantic Wall, the fortified coastline built by Nazi Germany that stretched from Norway all the way down to Spain.

“How we got through all that was miraculous,” adds Felner, referring to the underwater obstacles and mines that the Allied ships helped “soften up.”

Lake Forest resident Charlene Quint Kalebic details the journey to Normandy with father Richard Quint in her novel “Angels of Ebermannstadt.” Her father landed six days after the invasion with the 9th Armored Division, 27th Infantry Battalion but rarely talked of his war experiences at home. Over the years, however, he stayed in touch with the people he met in the towns he helped liberate. The two decided to reconnect with the families whose lives had briefly been mingled with Quint’s.

“When we got over there, all these stories came out — and I realized he not only transformed a continent, but he transformed lives through acts of kindness,” Kalebic says.

She learned that her father and fellow soldiers shared whatever they had with people who had nothing while living under Hitler’s rule. While in Belgium, Quint came across an abandoned school and took down the draperies so that others could make clothes out of them. In another visit, a German lady gave Kalebic and her father hand-crocheted socks. It was a symbol of gratitude for the time Quint and the soldiers gave the gloves off their hands to be crocheted into sweaters for the children to wear.

The “Angels of Ebermannstadt” were young girls Quint

Charlene Quint Kalebic shares a moment with her father Richard Quint, who helped liberate towns in France after the D-Day invasion, before he died in 2008.

met as a soldier. Celebrating their First Communion, they were dressed in white with flowers in their hair; to him, they looked like angels.

“They reminded him of all the good he was fighting for,” says Kalebic. When he passed away in 2008, the women sent a big bouquet of white flowers with a note, “Love from your angels from Ebermannstadt.”

Many — like Spillar, Felner and Quint — have trekked back to Normandy after the war. The D-Day commemoration extends beyond the beaches as American flags wave front homes and storefronts in the surrounding communities. Kalebic remembers walking out of a train station and

seeing a large sign that read, “Welcome to our liberators.”

“Soldiers came up to us and just wanted to explain to my dad that they didn’t want to go to war,” says Kalebic of the emotional and healing experience. “There was forgiveness going on for both sides, these 80-year-old soldiers hugging each other and this free flow of tears.”

Spillar, who attended the 50th and 60th anniversary in Normandy, still attends military reunions and affairs. He emphasizes that the turnouts become smaller each year.

“By next year there won’t be anyone available,” he says of survivors of the Normandy invasion. “There’s not too many of us left.” ■

Steeling herself to battle melanoma — her own and others ■ by jenna schubert

For Susan Steel, founder of Skin of Steel, melanoma is not just a personal struggle.

The Glenview resident — now entering her 10th year battling the disease — works closely with melanoma-impacted families in Lake County. Recently, Steel dealt with two fathers who lost their battles with melanoma and, between the two of them, left behind five children under the age of 10.

“These two men were in their 30s and early 40s,” says Steel, whose not-for-profit organization raises public awareness of melanoma and provides funds for related research.

“The age of people diagnosed with melanoma is dropping.”

In fact, melanoma is the most common form of cancer for people ages 25 to 29, according to the American Melanoma Foundation. More disturbing still is Steel’s experience working with young pregnant mothers diagnosed with melanoma, whose babies develop melanoma in vitro.

After receiving her own diagnosis in 2005 and being told she had a 15 percent chance of surviving the next five years, Steel realized that Chicago was lacking in innovative melanoma clinical trials. So she embarked on years of traveling around the country for treatment.

“It was driving me crazy that I had to keep getting on planes [to travel for clinical trials],” Steel says. “I could afford to do that, and I have the financial and personal resources to do that, but most people don’t have those. Is my life worth any more than theirs? No way! It’s crazy.

We’re better than this.”

Most shocking to Steel, in the years following her diagnosis, was that the Midwest had no melanoma tissue bank — which provides fresh frozen melanoma tissue for research purposes.

As a result, Skin of Steel is working to build one in Chicago, which would function as part of a network (with additional branches in Pittsburgh, Portland, and San Francisco). With the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University as their partner, the team at Skin of Steel hopes to make its goal a reality as soon as possible.

Skin of Steel is aiming to raise $3.3 million, which would

cover the melanoma tissue bank’s first three years of operation. So far, approximately $750,000 has been donated ($100,000 of which was raised at Skin of Steel’s recent “Battle of the Bands: Rock Out Melanoma” fundraiser at Fields Volvo in Northfield).

In the meantime, Steel and her board members will continue fighting against melanoma with any resource they can muster. Despite entering her 10th year as a stage IV

melanoma patient — which is virtually unheard of — she persists in her work.

“Melanoma has taught me that you have to be a warrior, because this is not for the faint of heart,” Steel says. “You don’t survive this disease without full-on battle, and even with that, the odds are very stacked against you.”

Beam Suntory has taken a different tactic in advertising its Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskey.

Instead of sugarcoating the unique taste of the whiskey, the Deerfield-based company is putting the unflattering descriptions people have given for the product right out in the open. “Smells like medicine. Tastes like soil…” is one of the not-so-glowing descriptions of the product put forth in advertising pieces.

Of course, those unflattering comments are quickly flipped in the testimonials, the individuals saying that they tried the product anyway and it became their whiskey of choice.

“Laphroaig has long been a brand that elicited diverse and strong opinions from those who taste it, and the quotes we’ve selected to showcase at the launch of the campaign honor our longtime friends and represent their affinity for Laphroaig,” said John Campbell, master distiller.

ences in their communities, and are distinguishing themselves from the competition.

“The retail climate is changing faster than ever before, and it takes a lot of effort to stay on top in these changing times,” said Jenny Heinzen York, editor in chief of Home Accents Today, “The 2014 Retail Stars exemplify excellence in independent retail and are true role models for their innovation, customer service, marketing and merchandising strategies which make them leaders among their peers.”

Twenty-four individuals — including associate dean John Leonard at Glenbrook North— have announced their retirement from Glenbrook High School District 225 at the end of this school year.

“We thank you for your commitment to the students of the Northbrook and Glenview communities,” Superintendent Mike Riggle said in a message on the district’s website. “While the Glenbrook family will miss you, we wish you well on your next endeavors.”

Nineteen residents have graduated from this year’s Citizen Police Academy.

The 11-week program included a behindthe-scenes look at police work, focusing on topics such as police patrol functions and duties, criminal investigations and procedures, the Emergency 911 Communications Center, collection of evidence at crime scenes, police canine techniques, animal control, defensive tactics, and a ride-along with a police officer.

The ultimate goal of the program, police said, is to strengthen the partnership between the Police Department and the community. Chief Charles Wernick addressed last week’s graduates of the program and presented each participant with a certificate.

Northbrook

The village’s Fire Department has donated

a surplus ambulance to Metropolitan Emergency Support Services (MESS).

MESS is a non-profit organization that supports suburban emergency agencies during large incidents and training exercises by providing on-site food and beverages to responders and occupants.

All medical equipment was removed from the village ambulance for reuse in Northbrook vehicles before the donation.

Standout Student

Sporting a 5.0 GPA, young man is off to Harvard ■ by bill mclean Derek Choi listened intently as his parents, Paul and Lisa, discussed Argentina’s debt crisis. They were at the dinner table at home in Northbrook.

“I remember thinking, ‘How is it possible that a country runs out of money?’ ” Derek Choi recalls.

The year was 2001.

Choi was a curious first-grader at the time.

Months later, Choi competed in a geography bee. One of the questions was about a certain financially unstable South American country in the early 2000s.

Guess who got it right?

“I’ve always been interested in a lot of things — public speaking, politics, history, economics, geography,” says Choi, now a 2014 Glenbrook North High School graduate and Harvard University-bound student who will likely major in one of the humanities.

“I read newspapers, print and online. I watched CNN while growing up, and a book I enjoyed a long time ago was, ‘How Stuff Works.’ I wanted to know how a plane works, how a microwave works.”

Choi is nearly as bright as a tenured professor at a highly selective college — and as humble as a tenured professor’s intern. Part of the young man with the 5.0 grade-point average and the perfect 36 ACT score can’t wait to be surrounded by brilliant and ambitious peers from 50 states and all over the world at Harvard. Another part of him is looking forward to being stretched intellectually in each class he takes.

And a third part of him expects to tremble.

“It’ll be a little scary,” Choi says.

But Choi had faced — and overcome — daunting challenges for years at state and national debate competitions. A national Glenbrook North traveling debater since his sophomore year, Choi battled in two-person team events (with Kimberly Hill) and earned countless national rankings as an individual orator.

“I especially like the competitive element of debate,” says Choi, whose varied hobbies include discussing current international affairs and politics, skiing in Vermont and watching “The West Wing” reruns. “Researching topics to strengthen your position, thinking strategically, thinking things through … I enjoy all that’s involved in a debate. Some debate judges are interested in an argument’s content more than anything else; others see debate as a game.

“Results in debate,” he adds, “depend on your opponent, the judges, if you’re having a good day or a bad day.”

Among the good deeds Choi did for others from 201214 was his creation of a volunteer one-on-one technology coaching program at Covenant Village of Northbrook, a retirement community. From the end of his sophomore year until the end of his senior year, he helped residents become familiar with computers, tablets and smartphones.

They learned all kinds of useful stuff from a pro. Choi, after all, had developed an iPhone/iPad app — as an eighth-grader. It contains mathematical and scientific formulas, a unit converter and a list of commonly used constants.

Choi is looking forward to absorbing more knowledge in the presence of his parents, this time on a two-week trip to London in June. Two must-see stops on his list are the British Museum and Buckingham Palace.

The distance from Northbrook to Harvard University is a little more than 1,000 miles. But this fall, when Choi enters a classroom for the first time on the campus in Cambridge, Mass., Glenbrook North High School won’t seem so far away.

It will be still be near — and dear — to his heart.

“I have only good things to say about Glenbrook North,” Choi says. “Looking back at the classes I took, as well as the teachers, they were overwhelmingly terrific. The teachers at my school … very engaging. I’ll miss them.

“I had so many invaluable experiences in four years.” ■

The Special Olympics Illinois torch is expected to makes its way to Milwaukee and West Lake avenues around 10 a.m. Sunday.

On a 1,500-mile journey to the State Summer Games in Normal, the Flame of Hope will have been carried by more than 3,000 police officers by the time the

Games’ opening ceremonies begin June 13.

Glenview officers involvement in the Torch Run comes on the heels of their fundraising efforts through the Cops on a Roof program at the Dunkin’ Donuts at 1750 N. Milwaukee Ave., Glenview.

This was the 12th year that officers around the state raised money for the Special Olympics Illinois through the program.

“More than $1.6 million has been raised from (the Cop on a Rooftop program) during the last 11 years,” said Eric Smith, police chief of Sherman and director of the Illinois Torch Run. “It’s a fun event that works.”

Glenview officers last year raised $2,740 during Cop on a Roof. Their goal for this year’s event was $3,000.

Northbrook

For the first time, the Northbrook Youth Film Festival will include youths from surrounding communities.

The fifth annual Film Festival will feature comedies, documentaries, suspense films and thrillers. The event, led by former Glenbrook North High School filmmaker Matt Irvine, will be at 7 p.m. Monday in Glenbrook North’s Little Theater. Now an associate professor at DePaul University, Irvine will share his insights and critiques with students.

The event is open to community resident and admission is free.

David Whitlock, a member of the Northbrook Youth Commission, which got the event up and running, said he pushed for the event to be opened up beyond Northbrook’s borders.

“We are trying to cast a wider net,”

Whitlock said. “We want this to be a celebration of young filmmakers.”

Eleven films from nine filmmakers will be shown during the festival. Students from Glenbrook North, Glenbrook South, Deerfield High, Maine East and North Shore Country Day, as well as GBN alumni and college students from Chapman and New York universities, will be part of the event.

Sportsman’s Country Club is swinging into summer with Family Golf Month in July, offering free youth clinics, free golf, contests and lessons for parents and children to take together.

“Golf is one of the few games that family members can play together, so we’re trying to make it easy to learn and enjoy the game together with Family Golf Month,” said Michael Wenzel, director of instruction at the Northbrook Golf Academy at Sportsman’s. “You can’t find a better family activity than golf. When you add the benefits of exercise, camaraderie and enjoying the outdoors, a day at the golf course can be the perfect family outing.”

The lineup of July family golf events begins with a Parent/Child Mini-Golf Tournament on the Fourth of July, with a shotgun start at noon.

Other events include: •J uly 7-13: Take Your Daughter to the Course Week – Girls age 17 and younger play for free when accompanied by a paying adult at Sportsman’s East 9 or Anetsberger Course.

•J uly 7-13: Complimentary Mini-Golf Week – Children age 8 and under can play a round for free. ■

My family life may seem routine, but it certainly didn’t start that way.

Keeping the hope of childbirth alive while treating trophoblastic disease.

Tigi Dixon was diagnosed with a rare cancer called trophoblastic disease. When the cancer persisted in the uterus it not only threatened her life, but also her dream of having children.

Fortunately, she was referred to the John I. Brewer Trophoblastic Disease Center at Northwestern, one of only two such centers in the country. Instead of performing a hysterectomy, specialists at Northwestern Medicine and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center were able to remove the cancer while leaving much of her reproductive system intact. Tigi was pregnant just 18 months after surgery.

If we can do this for Tigi, imagine what we can do for you.

14 | lifestyle & arts Life as superintendent is par for the course ■ by david sweet If one interviews a chef, a kitchen would be a perfect setting. An artist would probably feel most comfortable talking in his or her studio.

A golf superintendent? Jumping as a passenger into a green golf cart and touring his place of work is the most sensible way to go. “ This a f lat piece of property, but doesn’t that look beautiful?” asks Dan Dinelli, cart pointed toward the sixth green at North Shore Country Club in Glenview, where the putting surface is elevated and framed by three meticulously raked sand traps.

On a windy day in May, few golfers are out in the 55-degree weather (and fewer still would find the sixth hole enticing if they ended up in Dan Dinelli one of the bunkers). But plenty of small red trucks roll around the 170-acre course, as groundskeepers and greenskeepers prepare it for the short Chicago golf season — and especially for the Encompass Championship, a PGA event that will make its second trip to North Shore Country Club in June.

No one in sports oversees a larger playing area than a

golf superintendent. Club members rarely see them on the expanse — their work is often done away from drives and putts. In fact, their success is achieved by how little they’re thought of — when they come to mind, it’s usually because the fairways are splotchy or greens inconsistent.

As a third-generation superintendent, Dinelli knows this better than most. His grandfather Frank started the tradition, overseeing the course at Northmoor Country Club in Highland Park. He was succeeded there

by Dan’s uncle, Jerry Dinelli, who unveiled the first computerized controlled irrigation system in the land — back when a computer filled an entire golf shop.

Dan’s father, Joe, started at North Shore Country Club in 1960 — the year Dan was born. Their two-story house sat just off the 15th hole. Joe served as superintendent for more than 30 years.

“Basically, I’ve been here all of my life. It’s kind of frightening,” says Dinelli.

“I have two daughters (Carrie and Jessie) trying to figure out what they want to do for careers. I never had that problem.”

Dinelli worked at North Shore during high school and afterward. Once he attended Harper College, “I fell in love with school,” he says, and graduated with a horticulture degree. He followed up by taking agronomy and tur f management at Michigan skin tightening State. wrinkle reduction Though sun damage reversal North Shore’s skin texture rejuvenationh i s t o r y i s — it has illustration by barry blitt splendid hosted a U.S. Open, among other top events — the course had been off the pro circuit for awhile until the Champions Tour arrived there last summer. Dinelli knew the televised event would put the club on a big stage.

“It was pretty intense and stressful leading up to it. You wonder about the what-ifs,” says Dinelli, who eventually

contended with an onslaught of rain. “But it was fun during the event once you figured, ‘We’ve done the best we can.’ “ An unusually cold and lengthy winter just afflicted local courses. Clubs such as Bob O’ Link in Highland Park lost a number of greens — ones often ready for play in April were not opened until this month. Dinelli’s club fared much better, in part because his crew started taking turf samples in early February. Only one green — the 14th, which also suffered from sitting in the shade — needed work.

The 53-year-old is proud of the course’s environmental stewardship. Driving down one fairway, Dinelli points to a nest. Two baby owls are up there now, he explains, while last year it housed a red-tail hawk — a type of bird Dinelli breeds in his spare time.

“These birds are at the top of the food chain — if the environment was polluted, they wouldn’t be here thriving,” he says. “Those ponds there; my Dad built them. Rainbow trout are in there, and they don’t tolerate poor water.”

In fact, the bushy-haired superintendent says the toughest challenge he faces is balancing the health of nature’s gifts and playability.

“The goal is to use only just enough water, fertilizer and plant protectants to keep plants functioning — and yet offer a fast, firm and smooth playing surface,” says Dinelli, adding he hasn’t played golf beyond practicing putting for about four years.

“This a flat piece of property, but doesn’t that look beautiful?” | Dan Dinelli In his father’s day, it was tougher to keep the course in shape. Crew members turned on each sprinkler by hand at night. Today, a computer takes care of it — and jets of water are regulated down to the second.

“I remember the guys knocking on my Dad’s door at 1 in the morning and yelling, ‘Joe! Joe! We’ve got a leak,” Dinelli recalls.

“He’d have to go turn the valve off.”

As Dinelli looks forward to the club’s second Encompass Championship June 16-22 — with players such as defending champion Craig Stadler and Lake Forest’s Chip Beck gearing up to capture the trophy — he says its importance extends beyond the event.

“It’s all about raising money to donate to charities,” says Dinelli (Junior Achievement of Chicago and The First Tee of Greater Chicago are among the beneficiaries). “At the end of the day, the club is supporting several important efforts. That’s what it’s all about.” ■

Judy Zager concurred.

“I have been married for 34 years,” Judy told me. “I did not have bridal showers, but I received a gift from someone who wanted to know they were thinking of us, even though they were not invited to the wedding.

“I had registered for moderately priced stainless — so affordable that I believe we received place settings for 30 by the time the wedding arrived. This person purchased some serving pieces to the stainless even though I did not register for them. I still use them and think of the thoughtful gift frequently.”

Judy replicates the gesture today, when she buys gifts for the children of her friends.

“When I’ve wanted to send a little something and nothing on their registry was hitting me right, I send an extra piece to the china or stainless and hope that they enjoy the gift as much as I have.”

Let’s Talk Real Estate

by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI

re-DefIne, nOt re-DesIGn! Staged Homes Professionals® provide both buyers and sellers a variety of “concierge services”—though it’s statistically proven that Staged Homes® sell faster and for more money than unstaged homes, did you know that as a home buyer, the services of an ASP® are also helpful in making the most of your new home? Here are just a few of the reasons to consider professionally staging your home when it’s time to list it on the market.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Home staging professionals help you ensure that your home’s first impression on potential buyers will be the very best. By creating a room design that is neutral and open to interpretation, buyers are better able to view your home and “mentally move in”, creating an emotional connection that will help your house move quickly and at its highest possible value.

An objective eye lends to a competitive sale!

How you live in a home is completely different from how you sell a home. The professional home stager is able to look at your home objectively in a way that you, your friends and your family cannot—after all, you’ve lived there for years and have many happy memories associated with the rooms. Your buyers, however, don’t have that history—that’ll be theirs to make, when they make an offer. When your house is on the market, it’s absolutely critical to create rooms with aesthetically pleasing focal points, direct the flow of traffic between rooms and generate an overall ambience that promotes each room as an oasis of calm, inviting buyers to not think of the property as “your house”, but instead, to see it as “their home”.

Color, art and room themes—what’s really important?

There’s a reason we trust the services of trained professionals—when you cut corners, you always take a risk. Just as you wouldn’t trust a janitor to perform surgery, you should remember that home sales and Home Staging® are professions like any other, and that by enlisting the services of a trained professional, you’ve shown prospective home buyers how serious you are about the piece of real estate you’re listing. While your friend or family member may indeed have a good “eye” for home design, ask yourself if you’d be willing to keep your home on the market longer, or settle for a lesser offer than your home is worth, just to save a few pennies in having it professionally staged. To get a top-notch home sale, you must be willing to invest in top-notch service!

Practicing techniques before entering operating room a boon at NorthShore ■ by joanna brown

When Jill Muldoon was in nursing school, she learned new techniques on live, injured patients whose recovery depended on her success.

Looking back 25 years, she thinks the opportunity to have practiced procedures like cardiac catheters in a less stressful environment — away from patients — would have made a big difference in her training and early career.

It’s for that reason that Muldoon is working today with the Auxiliar y of Nor th Shore Un iversity HealthSystem to raise funds for the hospital’s Center for Simulation and Innovation.

“We didn’t know about anything like this when I was in nursing school,” said the Northfield resident, who is cochairing The Auxiliary of NorthShore’s 42nd annual Ho spit a l s ’ G a l a w it h Northbrook’s Brenda Kuo. Based on the theme of “Simply Chicago,” the gala will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 14 at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers. The theme will be ensconced in the signature cocktails, late-night snacks, auction items and raffle prizes, along with three performances

by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Guests may also dance to the live music of the TVK Orchestra.

Also on site will be live demonstrations by the evening’s beneficiary, the NorthShore Center for Simulation and Innovation.

The

13,000-square-foot facility at Nor thShore Evanst on Hospital houses two complementary healthcare education, training and research programs: the Medical Simulation Program, in which instructors use images to re-create complex medical scenarios while observing students’ responses to their mannequin-patients; and the Surgical Simulation Program, where surgeons can practice new, sophisticated procedures in a lab before they enter the operating room.

“Doctors come every year from across the country to train here and do this,” said Kuo. “ Ever y year the Auxiliary Board gets to go to the lab — which was started in a space the size of a closet in the basement of Evanston Hospital — and we get to check it out. I always think ‘Wow, this is so cool that the staff gets to learn how to do things here before they do it on me.’ And that is something I feel passionately about.”

Muldoon echoed her praise of the facility, calling special attention to the way the simulation lab serves all members of the medical team.

“NorthShore is still a fairly small, intimate, community hospital. It’s a wonderful place and I can see good things going on there. That’s why I feel passionately about these causes and the people who serve in that capacity: the doctors and nurses and auxiliaries,” Muldoon said.

A real goalgetter

McFarland finishes season with 78 goals, 45 assists for state quarterfinalist GBN ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Ask Glenbrook North senior James McFarland to pick one lacrosse match that stands out the most this year and he doesn’t have to think long.

And why should he?

He played his best match when it mattered most and the result was a thrilling 8-7 victory over eventual state champion New Trier on April 8 in triple overtime.

McFarland scored four goals in that match, including the game-winner, which led to an epic celebration.

“There was a (massive) dog pile,” McFarland said.

Was it painful to have all of his teammates piled on top of him?

“It was such an exciting moment that I just embraced it and worried about the pain after it,” he said with a smile.

Added junior teammate Tommy Metzger: “He was looking forward to that game all season and he really proved himself on the field. I remember he made a little backdoor cut and once he put that goal in, everyone just went nuts. It was an awesome feeling.”

That victory against New Trier sparked the Spartans to their first outright conference title in program history. Glenbrook North’s season came to an end with a loss to Lake Forest High School in a state quarterfinal match on May 29. Glenbrook North’s final record was 16-6 and 6-0 in conference.

The Spartans were 15-3 against teams from Illinois.

In the New Trier game, Glenbrook North led 5-1 at halftime but surrendered five unanswered goals and had to rally for the eventual victory. In addition to the gamewinner, McFarland also scored the gametying goal.

“That will go down as one of the most courageous (performances),” Glenbrook North coach Justin Georgacakis said. “He led us with some passion and maintained focus throughout the entire game.”

Georgacakis said it’s been rewarding to watch McFarland mature from his freshman year to graduation day. McFarland finished the season with 78 goals and 45 assists.

“He was very invested throughout his four years,” Georgacakis said. “He was a

cerebral player. He asked a lot of questions and worked hard and put the time in.”

Lacrosse runs in McFarland’s family. His father, Sean, played lacrosse for Gettysburg College; his younger brother, Michael, made the varsity team as a sophomore.

“My dad introduced the sport to my brother and me and we both fell in love with the game,” McFarland said.

After McFarland started playing lacrosse, every other sport seemed slow by comparison.

“I enjoyed soccer, basketball and football

but in lacrosse everything happens in matter of seconds,” he said. “Even when the ball is out of bounds, the game starts up as soon as you’re ready. There’s never a moment of rest.”

To prepare for his senior season, McFarland spent a lot of time working to fine-tune his footwork.

“I knew that I would be drawing the top defender from every team and I would have to be more athletic,” he said.

As a senior, McFarland was asked to create more off isolation.

by joel lerner

“We asked him to almost point-guard the offense; he created a lot of opportunities and was able to feed guys with beautiful passes,” Georgacakis said. “He had a lot of nice takes.”

Next year, McFarland will play for Division III power Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Georgacakis expects McFarland will do well at Williams College.

“He’s not the type of kid that will wait for an opportunity to come to him,” Georgacakis said. “He’ll go out and make things happen.” ■

Circling the Bases

Titans, Ramblers claim regional championships ■ by kevin reiterman

sports@northshoreweekend.com You know what they say about great pitching.

The Glenbrook South baseball team has featured terrific mound work all season, and that trend continued for the 29-5 Titans in regional action.

Connor McCarthy, a Villanova recruit, was nearly unhittable in the team’s Class 4A regional-opening 2-0 win over Stevenson on May 28.

With his two-hit shutout, the hard-throwing McCarthy improved his record to 8-2 overall. The senior right-hander, who struck out eight, lowered his earned run average to 1.96.

“He pitched very, very well against Stevenson,” said GBS head coach Steve Stanicek. “He had good velocity, and he threw three pitches for strikes.”

For the season, McCarthy has allowed only 38 hits in 53-plus innings. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is solid: 71-19.

GBS’s offense managed just three hits against Stevenson left-hander Mitch Goll. Cody Carroll and Ben Samborn came up with run-scoring singles.

In the 5-3 regional title win over Lake Forest on May 31, senior Mike Lenckos struggled early — allowing a threerun first inning — but came on strong to post his seventh victory of the season.

“I’m proud of the way he settled down after that rough first inning,” said Stanicek.

Lenckos (7-1) has been one of the many bright spots for the Titans, who were scheduled to host Mundelein on June 5 in a sectional semifinal game. His ERA is a sparkling 0.86. He has allowed only 40 hits and five walks in 48-plus innings.

GBS scored its five runs against LF on just six hits.

Tommy O’Hara and D.J. Dillon had two hits apiece.

The winner of the Mundelein-GBS game will advance

to the sectional title game on the Titans’ field on June 7 at 10 a.m.

Deerfield Some strong showings in postseason play allowed the Warriors to finish the season over .500.

Despite being seeded No. 14 in the Glenbrook Sectional, this 18-17 squad came up with a highlight game in the semifinal round of the Glenbrook North Regional.

Sparked by the pitching of Matt Tometz and Addison Jacoby, the Warriors stunned No. 4 Carmel 2-1. Deerfield scored two runs — groundball RBIs by Andrew Fisher and Nick Korompilas — in the opening frame.

“All year long, we were competitive. We played with a lot of moxie,” said Deerfield head coach Kevin Marsh. “We were a dangerous team.”

On May 31 in the regional final, the Warriors played No. 5 St. Viator tough before falling 3-1.

The team’s lone run came in the top of the second, when Zach Brownstein singled home Andrew Fisher who had reached on a double. Fisher finished the game with two hits.

Jacoby started and allowed only four hits over 5-plus innings. He eventually exited the game for Mac Levin after giving up two runs in the top of the fifth.

The Warriors opened the playoffs with an 11-3 win over Waukegan on May 26. Addison, Eric Schmidt and Dustin DeLisle had two hits each, while Colt Foerch had a threerun triple.

Loyola Academy Welcome back, Fran O’Malley.

Welcome aboard, Thomas Smart.

These two players count as welcome additions for the baseball team at Loyola Academy.

O’Malley, a senior, is the cagey veteran. He is back in the lineup after missing more than a month and a half with a back injury.

Smart, a sophomore, is the hot prospect. He’s been inserted in the middle of the batting order.

Both players gave Loyola (12-20-1) a shot in the arm in the Class 4A Elk Grove Regional championship game on May 31, when the Ramblers, seeded No. 6 in their own sectional, erupted for eight runs in the sixth inning and added five more in the seventh to overwhelm No. 3 Elk Grove 16-2.

Smart went 3-for-5 with three RBIs. “He (Smart) has been an absolute (hitting) machine,” said LA head coach Nick Bridich.

O’Malley also had three hits.

They were hardly a two-man band, however. This was a pure team victory for the Ramblers, who banged out 21 hits to make a winner out of junior left-hander Jack Yalowitz (7 IP, 7 Ks, 1 BB, 7 hits).

The attack also featured Tommy Bordignon (4 hits, 2 runs), Jacob Frank (3 hits), Erik Olson (2 hits) and Travis Weber (2 hits). Yalowitz helped his own cause with two hits and two RBIs. “We’ve been playing a lot better the last couple of weeks,” said Bridich.

The Ramblers advanced to the regional title game after beating Lane Tech 3-2 in eight innings on May 29. Olson came up with the game-winning hit.

The team received solid pitching from starter Andrew Owen (7 2/3 innings) and reliever Yalowitz (15 pitches).

LA was scheduled to host New Trier in a sectional semifinal game on June 5. The title game is set for June 7 at 11 a.m. ■

Don’t forget about Schmidt Senior is in the ‘middle’ of Deerfield’s success

High fives: Deerfield High School middle blocker Eli Schmidt makes a play at the net during last week’s regional.

■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Deerfield High School middle blocker Eli Schmidt started thinking about his senior season from almost the exact moment his junior season ended last spring.

The Warriors advanced to the state tournament where they dropped a quarterfinal decision to Downers Grove South, the eventual state champion. Deerfield won the second set and had its chances in the third set.

“On the bus ride home he talked about how the team could make a deeper run this year,” outside hitter Zach Hara recalled. “That’s been his driving motivation every day. He has such enthusiasm and makes everyone want to play better.”

Although Deerfield only played that one match at the state tournament, Schmidt savored the entire process that led up to it.

“Our season was expanded and we got to be a team for four or five more days,” he said. “We were the last team at school practicing and that whole week leading up to that match was amazing.”

When the Warriors learned that Downers Grove South went on to win the state championship, it gave them an added jolt of motivation.

“That made us realize not only how good we were last year but how high our ceiling could be this season with 10 seniors returning and four other (experienced) players,” Schmidt said. “It was a wakeup call that showed us how much we can achieve this year.”

It’s easy to set a goal in the emotion after a season ends. It’s quite another to work every day to give yourself the best opportunity to make it happen.

That’s exactly what Schmidt and his teammates proceeded to do.

“Eli is the most focused and goal-oriented on my team; so much so that I’ve needed to remind him from time to time to enjoy the ride,” Deerfield coach Eugene Chung said.

Deerfield (32-6) was scheduled to play Warren Township High School for the Highland Park Sectional title on June 3.

Chung said that Schmidt is adept at not getting derailed by minor distractions.

“He’s good at seeing the big picture as opposed to focusing on the small issues that can arise,” Chung said.

As a 6-footer in eighth grade, Schmidt was used to being able to see the entire volleyball court. Now, though, he is actually a bit of an undersized middle hitter at 6-foot-1.

“It kind of [was unfortunate] that I stopped growing,” said Schmidt, who earned all-CSL North recognition along with Hara and John Harlan. “I rely on my (quickness) and teammates for support.”

Since Hara and outside hitter Harlan are so dynamic, they receive the majority of attention from opposing defenses. When that happens, Schmidt and middle blocker Eric Slepian can take full advantage and play a greater role in the offensive attack.

“Teams that don’t pay attention to our middles are oftentimes surprised by their effectiveness and ability to generate so much offense for us,” Chung said.

The Warriors used a solid all-around attack to defeat Vernon Hills High School 25-23, 25-23 in the sectional semifinal.

“It was a close, intense match,” Schmidt said. “We were losing in both sets but we ended up going on a couple of runs.”

Playing in big matches is nothing new for the Warriors and they hope that experience will continue to benefit them as the playoffs progress.

“We know how to play when the lights are on and we have to beat another team, and we’ve also learned how important it is to stay focused during practice,” Schmidt said. “That’s how you get better.”

With Schmidt taking the lead, the Warriors will continue to do just that. ■

Congratulations to the Class of 2014

No back-ing down

Tough-minded Deerfield defender Otto nets plenty of respect ■ by bob gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com The Deerfield High School girls soccer team pushed everyone forward to try and capitalize on a corner kick in the second half of a Class 2A regional final against Crystal Lake Central last weekend.

Every field player, that is, except for senior Maddy Otto.

The Warriors (12-10-3) failed to convert, and, all of a sudden, a Crystal Lake Central player had the ball at her feet and no one in front of her except for senior goalkeeper Sam Soloway on May 24.

“It looked like they were going to have a breakaway,” Deerfield coach Rich Grady said. “Maddy sprinted after their (player) and caught her from behind and took the ball away cleanly.”

Added junior teammate Emily Kellow: “She’s really fast and she uses her speed to catch up with forwards. She’s made a lot of great saves for us.”

For the last 3 ½ years, the Warriors have become accustomed to plays like that from Otto, their 5-foot-1 sparkplug of a defender. If Otto is best known for her speed, her fearlessness is a close second. Otto and the Warriors went on to defeat Crystal Lake Central 2-1 to win the regional title. Deerfield’s season came to an end May 28 with a 1-0 loss to St. Viator in a sectional semifinal.

“She’s totally fearless,” Grady said. “We’ve had her defend a number of all-state players, and she’s not intimidated by anyone or anything. Her physical toughness has always stood out. Anytime she battles for the ball she expects to come out with it and she usually does.”

This season, Otto also displayed the ability to initiate Deerfield’s attack from the back half of the field.

“She was always a tough defender, but she got better and better with the ball,” Grady said. “We were able to move her up into the

midfield and let her attack.”

Otto earned all-CSL North honors along with teammates Kellow, Sydney Barber, Logan Just and Mirelle Haas.

Regardless of the sport, playing defense

seems to agree with Otto. In addition to soccer, she was the starting libero on the Warriors’ volleyball team.

“I liked being involved in pretty much every play in volleyball, and that helped me

in soccer as well,” she said. “In both sports, you’re in the back and you see all the action in front of you.”

Otto also learned the importance of communication as a libero and that carried over onto the soccer field.

“You can help make sure everyone is working together and where they are supposed to be,” she said.

Otto was one of the team’s leaders as a junior, but her role expanded as a captain this past season. Seniors JoElla Guagliardo, Just and Soloway were also captains.

“It was nice to have four captains because we could spread out and help the younger girls get acclimated to varsity,” Otto said.

Deerfield fielded one of its youngest teams in recent memory. The Warriors carried eight sophomores and six freshmen on their playoff roster.

Befitting a young team, the Warriors had their struggles early before putting it all together. Deerfield was 8-3-2 over its final 13 matches of the season.

“Toward the middle of the season, we realized that we needed to fight for each other because no one else will,” Otto said. “We picked up our energy and that was (reflected) in our play.

Next year, Otto will attend the University of Arizona where she plans to study neuroscience. She visited the campus in March and the school’s neuroscience department, campus and perfect weather helped to cement her decision.

When she returns home after her freshman year, she said she will enjoy attending Deerfield matches to see how the Warriors are progressing.

“I’m really excited to come back and watch them play,” she said. “They’re going to be a really strong team.”

Notable: Kellow finished the season with all-sectional honors. Teammates Barber and Haas were all-sectional honorable-mention picks. ■

Playing with a vengeance Spartans slip past league rivals to take sixth at state



sports@northshoreweekend.com Avengers do more than tote a Captain America shield or turn hulky and green when angry.

Some wield potent tennis rackets.

At the state tennis tournament at various sites May 29-31, Glenbrook North’s green-and-gold-clad Spartans avenged their runner-up Central Suburban League North Meet finish to Highland Park High School by topping three Giants entries and finishing sixth with 25 points — two points better than seventh-place HPHS. “That helped us get over [last month’s second-place CSL North Meet showing],” Spartans coach Jeff Jordan said.

The top-10 effort at state was Glenbrook North’s first since taking seventh at the 2009 meet.

Glenbrook North juniors David Zakhodin and Miguel Perez defeated reigning No. 1 doubles league champions David Aizenberg and Max Gordon of HPHS 6-4, 6-0 in the quarterfinals of the back draw at state last weekend.

Seeded 5-8, the pair of Spartans won five of seven matches and finished seventh-eighth.

“They came up big for us all year,” Jordan marveled.

North junior Will Sauser went 4-2 as an unseeded state entrant. The three-time state qualifier upset HPHS freshman and 17-32 seed Jacob Edelchik of HPHS 6-3, 6-3 in a second-round match.

The Spartans’ other state singles qualifier, freshman Mark Wu, won three matches (two in the front draw, one in the back) after qualifying as a sectional champion.

Glenbrook North senior David Shekman and freshman Nick Marino won three state doubles matches, including a 6-3, 6-7 (2), 7-5 defeat of Highland Park’s Eli Schneider/ Teddy Dunn in the fourth round of the back draw.

“A great way for David to finish his career and Nick to start his,” Jordan said.

Deerfield High School Eight tennis matches, 19 sets, one taut tiebreaker, too many points to count — all in three days.

What did you do last weekend?

Deerfield High School sophomore doubles partners Chris Casati and Niko Wasilewicz spent the bulk of their time playing winning tennis at the state meet May 29-31. Seeded 9-16, the Warriors’ top tandem went 6-2 and placed seventh-eighth.

“They played great tennis,” Deerfield coach Josh Leighton said. “Gong into the tournament, we knew they were as good as the 5-8 [seeded] teams.

“With that in mind, we were excited for the tournament.”

Casati/Wasilewicz lost two three-setters to 5-8 seed Scott Christian/Connor O’Kelly of Lake Forest High School but edged a 3-4 seed from Edwardsville 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (5) in the quarterfinals of the back draw.

“It was a heartbreaker for the guys,” Leighton said of his guys’ 3-6, 7-5, 7-5 loss to Christian/O’Kelly in their final match.

Deerfield’s other state qualifier, junior Noah Rosenblat, reached the Round of 16 and split two consolation-round matches. The 9-16 seed fell 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 to 5-8 seed Will Koehrsen of Metamora in his last match on May 30.

Rosenblat fell behind 3-0 in the third set, as bouts with cramps nearly forced him to retire. But the reigning No. 1 singles champ of the CSL North Meet won five of the next seven games to knot it at 5-5.

“Being the fighter he is, Noah continued to play hard,” Leighton said. “He could barely stand [after the first two games of the clinching set].

“I’m sure he learned a lot about himself in that match. I am proud of his play and effort in the tournament.”

DHS (16 points) tied Oak Park-River Forest for 10th place with only two state-qualifying entrants; OP-RF had qualified the maximum four entrants from its sectional on May 24.

“We have high hopes for this team next year and are excited for the season already,” Leighton said. ■

34 | perfect weekend steve and laura find a retreat close to home

One day after moving to Highland Park in 2005, Laura and Steve Knapp were invited to the North Shore Yacht Club.

It has become their perfect weekend spot scores of times since.

“It’s a hidden gem right on the water,” notes Steve about the club in Highland Park, which opened nearly 80 years ago on Lake Michigan. “We don’t have to plan too much because it’s right here.”

“It’s a beautiful place. We treat it like our lake house.” | Laura Knapp

Steve Knapp, vice commodore of the North Shore Yacht Club, and his wife Laura enjoy a moment together near the boats. The club will host an open house on Saturday, June 7. photography by joel lerner

After a breakfast at home during the weekend, Laura, Steve and their two children — Langston, 10, and seven-year-old Lachlan — head to the club off of Park Avenue. While the boys play on the beach, their parents will choose from one of the club’s fleet — often a Sunfish sailboat for Steve and a kayak for Laura — before heading out on the water.

But if there’s no wind blowing? Then a family Frisbee game breaks out on the beach instead.

After a long day on and at the water, the Knapps gather around the outdoor grills, where they cook steak and other fare to eat on the deck. As darkness falls, a bonfire is lit, and all can retire indoors to watch television and relax in the lounge room with other members if they choose.

Says Laura, “It’s a beautiful place.

We treat it like our lake house.”
