To cleanse or not to cleanse?

Some swear by it, but detractors scoff at regimen ■■by joanna brown As Kenilworth native Sloane Isselhard girded for her 34th birthday, she felt a change was needed. Her busy law career, combined with a lack of interest in cooking, had jettisoned healthy eating habits.

After the birth of her fourth child, Deerfield mother Liza Bronstein reached the same conclusion.

“I was not on a good path,” Bronstein recalled. “I was eating peanut butter M&Ms and Diet Coke for dinner, and I didn’t want my kids growing up thinking that was okay.”

Both women chose cleanses to jumpstart healthier habits. These programs involve a drastic change in a person’s eating habits to rid the body of toxins believed by many to cause fat, fatigue, memory loss and illness like diabetes.

“I wasn’t looking for drastic weight loss, but a way to get more whole foods into my diet,” Isselhard said. “I had been eating really, really badly, and I needed to re-educate my body.”

Detoxifying diet programs are big business: the American weight loss market was estimated to exceed $60 billion in revenue in 2012.

Cleanse diets took off in the 1990s with the Master Cleanse.

Celebrities like Demi Moore extolled the benefits of drinking a mix of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayanne pepper daily.

Cleanse diets dictate a combination of dieting, fasting and avoiding certain foods altogether in an effort to flush the colon.

Weight loss is often a side effect — and motivation for many cleansers to commit to programs anywhere from three-to-31 days in length. Both Isselhard and Bronstein say their cleanses began long-term changes in their behavior.

Not all are sold on cleanses. Physician Ari Levy, a Highland Park native, commended the women’s decision to change their habits, but he cautioned them as well. Cleanse and detoxifying diets have little, if any, value for the body and offer the potential for negative side effects, he said.

“Cleansing gives people a simple structure to exert self control in an area where they don’t feel like they have a lot of control,” said Dr. Levy, who now leads the Chicago-based Engaged Health Solutions.

“But these diets have no proven health benefits, and actually have the potential for harm in both the short and longterm due to vitamin deficiencies and imbalance in your electrolytes.”

The human body should be able to process simple sugars and other processed foods on its own, Dr. Levy said.

Liza Bronstein “But that’s assuming photography by joel lerner that we pay attention to what our bodies are telling us. Instead, we gain weight or we get a chronic illness because we’re not listening. We’re not allowing the body to detox as it normally should because we’re not doing what we’re supposed to be doing.”

Melinda Beck, a Lake Forest High School graduate who is the health columnist for The Wall Street Journal, tackled cleanses in a column this year.

“Some cleanses are often little more than fasting regimens,” she wrote. “The ‘master cleanse,’ devised to treat ulcers in the 1940s … leaves many nutrition experts scratching their heads.”

Bronstein and her husband were conscious of risks when they searched for a diet program they could do together. Juice diets raised concerns for blood sugar spikes, and her busy family would not allow her to spend a week in the bathroom dealing with the side effects of so many other colon cleanse programs.

She chose Isagenix, a program of one knife-and-fork meal per day plus two meal replacement shakes that promised to rid her body of toxicity and other stressors and address the nutritional deficiencies her poor eating habits left in their wake.

She admits it was hard to get started.

“Coming off the sugars I had been eating and all that Diet Coke was hard,” Bronstein said. “I was lethargic and had headaches and just didn’t feel great. But on the fourth day I woke up and felt

like a whole new world had opened up. I had energy that I didn’t know where it had come from. It was wild.”

Bronstein has since coached more than 40 people through the same transition, with results that range from weight loss to increased energy levels and better sleep patterns.

Isselhard liked that the CLEAN diet program was developed by a physician, offered support by phone from nurses and online from a support group, and didn’t ask her to cook too much. She, like Bronstein, has one traditional meal and two shakes daily, along with several snacks within boundaries; the diet eliminates soy, dairy, wheat, read meat, shellfish, potatoes, bananas and a host of other foods, but she still finds herself satisfied throughout the day.

“You have to be motivated to do it. Motivated, not just curious,” she explained.

Thirteen days into 21-day program, Isselhard said it was going smoothly. Sure, she was tired the first week, but she had no headaches or other side effects to complain about. She found that the second week, her mood improved greatly and the weight loss was noticeable.

While Dr. Levy doesn’t encourage his patients to pursue fad diets or cleanses, he knows some do them anyway. He prefers that they wholly commit to one lifestyle change, and he encourages them to prioritize their health concerns.

“Convert your words into actions and Dr. Ari Levy really commit to it; it doesn’t matter what it is,” he said. “But make a small change and test your integrity and follow-through. When you’re successful, amp it up.”

In fact, Dr. Levy said, everyone should be pursuing simple and clean diets to feel better every day. Water is better than juice, black coffee is better than Diet Coke (because the caffeine comes from a natural source, rather than the artificial cola), and natural foods are better than processed foods.

“Our tastes are acquired, not ingrained, and you can change your tastes over time,” he said. ■

Organization is a dream come true for needy

Dreamweaver International Director Dr. Warren Bruhl, surrounded by Kenyan children.

■■by jenna schubert Dreamweaver International aims to improve life for people in Kenya — and beyond.

“We’re looking for ways to make people feel valued again,” says Dreamweaver International Director Dr. Warren Bruhl. “And because we’re looking to solve issues of poverty, we have to do everything possible to help needy people become needed —that’s Dreamweaver International’s theme.”

Dr. Bruhl, a Northbrook resident who ran a chiropractic practice in Glencoe for 25 years, is the son of Dreamweaver International’s founders Ken and Sandy Taylor, who launched the organization 24 years ago when they were missionaries in Nairobi, Kenya. The Taylors realized that, despite building churches in the

area, the native people were still affected by poor education and a lack of healthcare opportunities. As a result, they started the Northbrook-based organization, in hopes of improving all aspects of life in Kenya.

Over the years, Dreamweaver International has expanded to include a threefold mission: improving education, healthcare, and quality of life (which is known as the “compassion care” branch of the organization) for the Kenyan people, as well as for people of other nations.

A key component of the education initiative was the opening of the Kimana School of Leadership and Professional Studies in 2011.

The college — which is located in Kenya’s Kimana Rift Valley, in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro — has programs in computer education, business, early childhood education,

and theology. Currently, the college has 80 students, although the Dreamweaver International board’s goal is to accommodate 200 students in the next couple of years.

Healthcare includes teams of volunteer nurses and doctors who visit rural areas in Kenya to examine and treat the natives, known as the Maasai people. Plans are also in the works to build a hospital (which will be called Kilimanjaro Mission Hospital) near the college. As Dr. Bruhl explains, the hospital is a huge step, considering that healthcare institutions are difficult for Kenyans to find.

“Their state-run hospital facilities are understaffed and underfunded,” he says. “So, many times, doctors and nurses go on strike, and there’s no healthcare available to anybody in the area.”

“I’ve heard [Kenyan] people say to me that we are an answer to their prayer.” || Dr. Warren Bruhl The final part of Dreamweaver International is its “compassion care” segment, which includes Gear for Goals — a program that has provided sports equipment to more than 40,000 children in 18 countries. Local schools such as Glenbrook North High School and Northbrook Junior High School have participated in drives.

Thus far, the volunteers and board members of Dreamweaver International have seen the remarkable effects of their work, according to Dr. Bruhl.

A baseball glove and ball are a special treat for a Kenyan youngster.

“I’ve heard [Kenyan] people say to me that we are an answer to their prayer,” he says.

“And some have said, ‘It’s nice to know that somebody cares.’ ” Dreamweaver International volunteer opportunities are plentiful — from helping organize gear drives and completing various administrative duties here in the U.S. to serving as a volunteer coach, teacher, nurse, or doctor in Kenya.

“In the Chicago area, we have a lot of talented and resourceful people — with not just financial resources, but also education resources,” Dr. Bruhl says. “Within our Chicago market is a wealth of ability to change things around the world. But we have to get outside of ourselves, be willing to do more than we’re doing, and to choose to not always be so comfortable.”

Vi at The Glen residents are getting fresh produce this summer.

Shep Drinkwater launched the first Vi farmers market several years ago; and the idea has caught on with other Vi communities throughout the country.

Drink water noted that creating inno vative menus is a year- round ef for t and that he regular brainstorms with other Vi chefs to share best prac tices .

“All of our communities make their own ice cream; and I’m fortunate to try the many flavors in the communities,” said Sam Nano, Vi director of food and beverage. “I’ve recently sampled a few from Michael Beltran, the pastry chef at Vi at The Glen. He makes an outstanding pistachio ice cream and a chocolate sorbet that is to die for.”

“YOU GUYS ROCK”

by Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI

In today’s market, Realtors® and sellers are paying more attention to the importance of “thinking outside the box”. The real estate market of the 21st century is challenging and changing at the pace of technology—in other words, at warp speed! Gone are the days of simply popping a “For Sale” sign in the yard, creating an MLS listing and placing an advertisement in the Sunday papers.

Though that’s tradition—and those methods of home sale are certainly still necessary and vital— they’re simply not enough to make your home distinct in the real estate market of today. Savvy Realtors® and sellers know that it takes more—much more—to successfully close on a home and maximize on the home’s worth. Today’s buyer is looking for more than just a place to hang their hat—they’re looking for a property that reflects their lives, their values and their lifestyle. It’s as much about where your grill will be during the summer months and what kind of garden you’ll put in come springtime as it is about having four walls and a roof. Home staging is a perfect jumping-off point. Most buyers can’t imagine themselves in a space while it’s full of the things that make your house a home—so step one in selling, especially in a slow market, is de-cluttering all the spaces and storing all the home decorations that make it look like “yours”. Likewise, keeping the counters clear and the spaces clean and tidy make a world of difference. Next, have a Kodak moment with your house—glossy print magazines, social media and virtual tours are where most home buyers start looking. If they fall in love with a picture of your house, you’ve got a better chance of them making an offer once they see it in person. There’s a number of ways to make the most of a slow market and sell your home for its maximum value—sit down with your Realtor® and start drawing up your plan for success!

N E W S DIGEST Hale Irwin, Bernhard Langer, Larry Nelson and Sandy Lyle are expected to be big draws at the North Shore Country Club.

“We had a lot of positives come from our first year and we look forward to repeating a lot of those and improving this year,” tournament director Mike Galeski said prior to the start of competition.

Stadler hopes to be a back-to-back champion. Last year, he birdied four of his first six holes and then made a tough 12-foot putt on the final hole to avoid a playoff with Fred Couples.

“I missed every putt on the back nine and finally made one that counted,” said Stadler.

Saturday’s rounds begin at 7:15 a.m.

Sunday’s rounds begin at 9 a.m.

The Northbrook Architectural Control Commission is reviewing a request to build a three-story structure at the Village Green Center.

The building would be at 1310 1348 Shermer Road, the parcel where Kamehachi Sushi’s outdoor dining is now located. As proposed, the structure would have retail space on the first floor and 10 luxury apartments on the second and third floors.

Commission members will reexamine the issue July 10.

Northbrook

The Northbrook Public Library is planning a Froebel Block Workshop next month.

Families, with children age 5-8, are invited to attend the July 20 event, which will examine Froebel blocks, which were developed in the 1830s by Friedrich Froebel — known as the father of kindergarten — who believed that children learn through play.

His smooth wooden blocks present geometric shapes and patterns in increasing complexity. Frank Lloyd Wright, who played with the blocks extensively as a child, credits them with inspiring his Prairiestyle creations.

Families will have the opportunity to build with Froebel blocks in a workshop presented by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust. ■

Garden spot

Landscape architect Craig Bergmann beautifies a North Shore estate ■ by thomas connors

photography by thomas harris for hedrich blessing The beauty of a garden is that it is always growing.

The downside? A garden is always growing.

Like a child whose shoes don’t fit from one spring to the next, a garden -— no matter how well planned — metamorphoses from season to season, year to year. And like that child who’s off to college before you know it, eventually, that garden will go its own way.

“Just by virtue of plants growing and not being pruned, the proportions of a design can change,” notes landscape architect Craig Bergmann. When the owners of five-plus acres asked him to address their Highland Park property, his job — as he says — “was to embrace it and upgrade it.”

The extensive garden retained much of its original layout, but its outlines had become blurred over the years.

“We did a lot of cutting back, removing things, regaining views that had grown shut,” Bergmann says. An allee of linden trees whose canopy had gotten a bit bushy was given a trim, and a new flagstone walk was laid down between the

trees.

“Areas that were intended to be manicured had become more like prairie,” says Bergmann. “But the native plants that had come in were doing well, and we treated them as welcome visitors to the garden.”

Fashioned for privacy, the estate — with its Stanley Tigerman-designed residence -— is cocooned in a thicket of woods. Within, the landscape comprises a variety of distinctive “rooms.” A constellation that encourages feet to meander and eyes to wander.

“The whole idea was for the owners to traverse the property and feel they were in a different area every time they turned a corner,” explains Bergmann. “So, with the pool they have a sort of California experience, they have Midwestern woodland, and a European style — with espaliered trees and flowers in abundance along the edge of pond.”

Taking a cue from the mullions of the greenhouse-like pavilion that serves as an art studio, Bergmann referenced formal garden tradition by creating a space with diamond-shaped parterres punctuated by a mammoth iron gate the homeowners purchased from an antiques

dealer in upstate New York. And he found a spot for the couple’s prized Deborah Butterfield horse sculpture, setting it in a meadow-like clearing.

“The piece is solid bronze, so we had to set in on a concrete support,” says Bergmann. “But we planted a rough, woodland grass around it and it looks quite natural — like it’s living in the garden.”

In addition to manicuring the landscape and introducing new flora to the mix, Bergmann created a hardscape retreat, a sort of gallery for a collection of the home-owners’ large-scale sculpture.

“The clients wanted a private, nestled-in-the-woods area,” explains Bergmann, “so we carved this out of thicket that was a sort of no-man’s land.” Paved with Wisconsin limestone and with sofas positioned on either side of a contemporary fire pit, the space forms a dramatic contrast to the trees that tower beyond, like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “forest primeval.”

Bergmann is understated in his assessment of the garden he’s fostered, a masterpiece of color and light, scale and movement. He says simply, “We just needed to get a handle on it.” ■

lifestyle & arts | 15 She is on a mission to help depressed teens ■■By Angelika Labno When I grow up, I want to help other people. That is my gift to the world.

The excerpt is from a poem titled “Real” by Elyssa Meyers. The young poet also wrote less optimistically — of inner struggles prompted by posttraumatic stress disorder, caused by being sexually assaulted when she was 12. Bullying by peers provoked depression.

When Elyssa, a sophomore at New Trier High School, committed suicide at age 16, her mother, Joanne, was devastated. Two years later, she launched a suicide prevention initiative — calling it Elyssa’s Mission.

“The mission is to educate teens so that young lives can be saved,” says Meyers, a Northfield resident who has two other daughters, Nicole and Jaclyn. “That was my duty as a mother. It was never a question; I had to take action.”

Founded in 2006, Elyssa’s Mission provides the resources for suicide prevention education in more than 50 middle and high schools around the state, and this year marks a first for the organization: the inaugural Chicago school, Baker College Prep.

“My strength comes from the lack of education,” says Meyers, whose Sunday breakfast consists of fruits and berries at home with her husband, Alan. “This is a real problem among our kids and adults, and we have to act.”

Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds nationwide, accord- Joanne Meyers ing to a 2010 report from the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The warning signs for suicide can be as explicit as talking about wanting to die — but can also include reckless behavior, shifts in sleeping patterns, withdrawal from normal activities and extreme mood swings.

Illinois was the fifth state to pass what’s known as the Jason Flatt Act in 2010, which mandates that school personnel be trained and taught suicide prevention and intervention techniques, particularly those who work with students in grades 7-12. Meanwhile, several years prior, Elyssa’s Mission worked tirelessly to persuade schools to use SOS Signs of Suicide, a prevention program designed by Screening for Mental Health in Massachusetts.

“Schools were not comfortable taking this program on by themselves, so they would implement bits and pieces,” says Meyers.

The solution was hiring a full-time director of education, Jodie Segal. From covering all funds to training staff and parents, Elyssa’s Mission — whose annual budget is $130,000 — is hands-on in the schools’ implementation of the initiative. The program also includes a DVD (the high school version features Meyers speaking) and a screening tool, which Meyers says has literally saved lives.

“The schools need a team of social workers to go through the screening components so they can pull these kids right away and get them into the office and talk about themselves.

Two questions are linked to suicide, and illustration by barry blitt t he e f fe c t s a r e

immediate,” she notes, adding that an ambulance was once brought into one of the schools following a screening.

Loyola Academy, a partner since the organization’s beginnings, introduces suicide prevention to sophomores and offers the SOS Booster program for seniors as part of its school-wide formation program, which entails bi-weekly meetings with counselors and groups of students.

“Every day I can’t wait to get to work because I’m extremely motivated to save lives.” || Joanne Meyers

“Even though we feel like we know our students well, what we found out through the screening was that there were some students that identified with depression that were not coming forward,” says school counselor Debra Larrea. “We’ve now created a culture in the school where kids are looking out for one another. We’re giving them the language to have those conversations with their friends.”

Deer Path Middle School in Lake Forest introduces the SOS program to its seventh graders during health class, which is taught by a health teacher and school social worker.

“We really liked the ACT message — Acknowledge, Care and Tell — which helps students know what to do if they are worried about a friend who is depressed or feeling suicidal,” says Principal Renee Devore. “It is an evidencebased program, which means that it had research backing the effectiveness of the program.”

Freedom floats above my head out of grasp, frustrated I give up. Problems block the tiled floor road and my blue jeans rip. Barbie dolls turn ugly and anger rises. Strength turns cold my friend, your help – useless. Your kindness appreciated but stubbornly I stand confused.

“Speak” by Elyssa Meyers Elyssa’s Mission continues to spread awareness through events, sponsorships and partnerships. Northbrook Woman’s Club, for example, helped fund the program in five Northbrook schools for the 2014-2015 school year. The annual fundraiser is being planned for September at Arlington Park Race Track. In October, Elyssa’s Mission (www.elyssasmission.org) will be highlighting the SOS CoolSculpting is the non-surgical body contouring treatmen program and its school support efforts in an educational eliminates fat from your body.

A Matter Of Taste

From plank salmon to French cuisine, executive chef stays on cutting edge

Jose Guerrero photography by joel lerner

■■by katie rose mceneely Jose Guerrero is the executive chef at Jölane’s Restaurant & Bar in Glenview.

How did you start cooking? I had a good role model: chef John Des Rosiers who owns Inovasi [in Lake Bluff].

I worked for him when I was 17, and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. After seeing his passion for food, it inspired me to follow in his footsteps.

Years cooking? Five years.

What made you decide to become a professional chef? I went to Kendall College.

Best recipe tweak? We have a seared plank salmon — there are many varieties of this, but the best one I’ve done has a quick marinade, which is where you let the fish sit in the marinate for 10 seconds and then cook it. It’s the most significant tweak I’ve done, but there are a whole bunch of them.

Signature dish? You always want to go for the plank salmon or the Tuscan chicken — we’ve been making them for a while, and I think they’re really, really good dishes.

Favorite cuisine to make? I love French cuisine.

It’s what I was taught in school. I like to be innovative and make it contemporary, using Mexican flavors with French techniques.

What do you like to eat at home? I do not cook a lot at home—I spend a lot of time at the restaurant, so by the time I’m out I want to hang out and not do too much with food. I care, I still eat well, but I don’t have the energy to cook anymore when I get home.

I love beef — it’s my favorite to cook. My favorite

dish would have to be a New York strip steak seared with peppercorns and finished with a cognac peppercorn cream sauce. Pretty old school, but it’s good.

Worthwhile gadget? Tongs and a towel. The tongs are your hands so you don’t get burned, and the towel lets you grab things — if you don’t have those, you cannot cook.

Favorite cookbook? “On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals” is very, very valuable — it has the standard techniques that you use as a base.

The sky’s the limit. It’s like the cooking bible.

“I like to be innovative and make it contemporary.” || Jose Guerrero Favorite fruit? Oranges.

Funniest or most memorable kitchen incident?

I once got a huge fish — I think it was salmon — and we put a little fish inside of the big fish and used it to scare the manager. I don’t have a lot of funny stories, but the day I got called by the owner and asked if I would like to be the new executive chef was very memorable.

Jolane’s Restaurant & Bar is located at 1100 Milwaukee Avenue in Glenview. For more information, visit jolanescafe.com or call 847-375-6986. ■

How to plank salmon: Here are the basics to planking salmon, according to Jose Guerrero: Planking refers to the process of steam-cooking fish on cedar wood that has been soaked in liquid before putting the wood directly on the grill. The cedar infuses the fish with a delicate flavor, the fish is cooked very gently, and you still get the grill flavors — just not any grill marks.

Soak cedar planks in wine, water, cider, or another flavorful liquid for one to two hours before you plan to cook. Heat the grill to about 350 degrees; place cedar planks directly on the grill in a single layer, leaving space between boards for air circulation. Place seasoned salmon filets skin-side down on planks and cook 12-15 minutes or until uniformly pink in the center. Transfer the planks to a cutting board, remove the skin, and serve. Planks can be re-used until they are charred or difficult to clean.

The Ken and Alta Strong Kids Dinner North Suburban YMCA photography by robin subar

Nearly 400 supporters of the North Suburban YMCA were on had during North Suburban YMCA’s Strong Kids Dinner, held at Allgauer’s Restaurant in Northbrook.

The evening included cocktails, silent and live auction, and dinner. Co-chaired by Laurie Shults of Northbrook and Chad Coe of Deerfield, the evening raised $265,000, going directly toward financial assistance for the YMCA’s members and participants, particularly those who can’t afford programs such as camp, special needs programming, and swim classes. The amount raised was the largest the event has seen in its eight year of existence. nsymca.org

The perfect cocktail to start the weekend The Return of the G&T

Saturday evening 2005 Marc Kreydenweiss Clos Rebberg Pinot Gris, Alsace, France. Suggested retail price: $40 A masterpiece example of the luxurious style of Pinot Gris from the original source, the powerful expressiveness of ripe pear, apple, nectarine and peach aromas are accentuated by a distinctive white pepper spice in the finish. Hearty ham, roasts, BBQ, sausages and lamb dishes or strong cheeses are classic pairings.

The Classic The Gin and Tonic is swinging again, thanks to new distillers who have made gin cool. (Plus, it’s easier to find less sugary tonic water full of zippy bubbles.) We might even catch up to Spain, where takes on the Gin Tónica—think herbs, spices, citrus— are a national obsession.The upshot?

There’s never been a better time to drink this summer refresher. — Andrew Knowlton

gin & tonic

Midweek meal 2012 Attems Ramato Pinot Grigio, Venezia Giulia, Italy.

Suggested retail price: $19 This “cupra” (Italian for copper) hued version of Pinot Grigio is the epitome of vibrantly complex flavors with an understated opulence. It is found only in particularly sunny and cool vineyard site where the skin of the grapes turn slightly reddish when fully ripened in early fall. After a slow fermentation the copper tone infuses into the wine, an indicator of exceptional richness of flavor. Ideal with hearty fish, poultry, veal or pork dishes.

Add 2 oz. gin (preferably Tanqueray) to a highball glass filled with ice.

Squeeze in 1–3 lime wedges to taste, then add them to glass. Add 3–4 oz. tonic water; stir to combine. Makes 1

The New Standard “We serve our Gin and Tonics with beautiful aromatics like juniper berries, lemon verbena, and cloves. It creates the perfect combination for an astonishing drink.”

—José Andrés, chef, Spaniard, and Gin Tónica lover

The Heart of the Highball

The Gin Clean, crisp Tanqueray makes the purest Gin and Tonic.

josé’s GIn & TONIC

the bazaar by José Andrés, Miami Combine 1 lime wheel, 1 strip lemon zest (removed with a vegetable peeler), 1 lemon verbena leaf, 3 juniper berries, and 1 oversize ice cube in a stemless wineglass or goblet. Add 1 1/2 oz. gin (preferably Hendrick’s), then 3–4 oz. tonic water; stir to combine. Makes 1

The TONIC It should be freshly opened and super fizzy. Fever-Tree tonic contains real aromatics.

COCKTAIL CHATTER In colonial India, British officers took quinine (the bitter ingredient in tonic water) to fight malaria. To make it more palatable, they started mixing it with lime, sugar, and…gin.

Best value 2012 Benvolio Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy. Suggested retail price: $11 The rocky foothill country provides an aromatic style redolent of green pears, apples, citrus fruits with a subtle hint of minerals from the rocky vineyard soil and floral notes. Light, crisp and refreshing, ideal for sipping or light, nonspicy snacks.

one’s hand in marriage ■■BY JOANNA BROWN I waste my time reading ridiculous things online.

I take quizzes to determine which Pixar character I am, watch gifs of bad dancing and have traced Duchess Kate’s style evolution via online slideshows more than once.

A list of 17 Terrible Ways to Propose to Someone was one of my more recent mindnumbing reads. Reasons for following the link elude me: I have no plans to propose to anyone in the near future, nor do I know anyone who will be proposing soon.

“This eliminates proposals in malls and food courts, tattoos, anything sent via text message or e-card, and anything written on the inside of a pizza box in marker.”

I’ll spare you the details of this eye-opening list but know that it argued against anything too public, too permanent, too technical, or too cheap. This eliminates proposals in malls and food courts, tattoos, anything sent via text message or e-card, and anything written on the inside of a pizza box in marker. The list also discouraged the use of food to hide the ring, as no one wants an x-ray of her diamond solitaire lodged in her abdomen to go viral.

Rather than waste any more time reading about shameful proposals, I set out to compile a list of great ways to propose on the North Shore. The opportunities to create a really romantic setting locally are endless; imagine how many proposals have been made in the gazebo in Lake Bluff and on Wilmette’s Gillson Beach.

I received several other suggestions from friends. One liked Evanston’s Shakespeare Garden, a Jens Jensen-designed space created in 1916 to mark the 300th anniversary of the bard’s death. Another liked Ravine Beach in Highland Park (technically its name is Millard Park), a 14-acre parcel of ravine, bluff and shoreline managed by the Park District.

Yet another friend recalled a couple that got engaged under the holiday lights in Highland Park’s Port Clinton Square.

The Chicago Botanic Garden, I hear, averages 15-20 calls per week during the high season (March-December) from people who want to propose on the property. Connie Bolle, director of sales and special events, has seen a lot of creative ones, like the flash mob of people singing in front of the Japanese garden.

The soon-to-be-groom was the last to join in the singing, before he got down on one knee.

Another groom had his proposal engraved in a memorial brick at the Garden. I’ve no doubt that the couple will stop to admire the brick most every time they return to the site.

“But it’s usually just the couple in the garden, with maybe another person hidden off to the side to take pictures,” Bolle said. “The top of the waterfall garden is a popular place, as are the bridge to the Japanese garden and the esplanade at sunset with the fountain shooting in the background.”

Once a nervous groom gets his answer, many couples retire to the Botanic Garden’s café for champagne or sangria with family waiting to celebrate.

None of these ideas fit with the rules set out by that list I found online, but they all sound like lovely scenes to recall when the grandchildren ask. I think the real lesson here is that I need to unplug my laptop and get outside more.

Sparkling career

Glenbrook South’s Caroline Nowak competes in the state third-place game. She not only made first-team all-state, but she also earned honorable mention All-America honors.

photography by joel lerner

Nowak leaves her mark on Glenbrook South’s girls lacrosse program ■■By Bob Gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Glenbrook South senior Caroline Nowak entered high school convinced basketball would be her No. 1 sport.

She anticipated lacrosse would be a fun activity and a nice way to stay in shape. Pretty soon, though, she was smitten with the fastestgrowing sport in the country. Lacrosse quickly became her passion and the result of that was on full display this season.

Nowak led the Titans in goals and finished with a three-year varsity total of 195.

This broke the previous record of 141 set by C.C. Hoogland, who just completed her sophomore year at the University of Vanderbilt.

She was well rewarded for her efforts. Novak claimed first-team all-state honors. And, along with teammate Olivia Eigel, she earned honorable mention All-America honors.

Nowak and the Titans advanced to the state semifinals for the first time in program history. Against New Trier, the eventual state champions, she scored twice and the Titans led in the fourth quarter before dropping a 6-5 decision on June 4. Glenbrook South finished with a 17-5 record after falling 12-6 to Hinsdale Central in the thirdplace game on June 6.

“It was an awesome (experience),” Nowak said about Glenbrook South’s playoff run.

“That really made our season.”

Glenbrook South coach Annie Lesch said Nowak’s passion for the game is paramount to her success.

“She has a love for lacrosse like no other,” Lesch said.

Lesch recalls giving the team a choice about whether they wanted an early-morning practice and Nowak answered in the affirmative before she had even finished asking the question.

“She was so enthusiastic and was always pushing herself to reach that next level,” Lesch said.

Nowak never went through the motions.

She treated each practice as a chance to get better.

“She’s an amazing player and what made her so great is her intensity,” junior goalkeeper Autumn Koh said. “She played just as hard in practices as she did in games.”

Nowak will continue on with lacrosse at Division III Tufts University in Boston where she plans to study biology.

“I wanted to get a good education and play lacrosse, and Tufts was the perfect balance for me,” she said. “I visited in October and committed the weekend after.”

Lesch believes Nowak can make an immediate impact.

“I think it’s the perfect place for her; she can contribute right away and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was starting as a freshman,” Lesch said.

At Glenbrook South, Nowak played in the midfield her first two seasons. As a junior, she was moved to attacker and that proved to be the perfect spot.

“I was really happy because I always loved the attacking side,” she said.

This season, she was not only a threat to score but also was able to set up teammates for scoring opportunities.

“She really grew as a player,” Koh said.

The same was true for the Glenbrook South team. A key catalyst was the team’s first spring break trip to West Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to taking advantage of the warm weather to play three matches (2-1) and practice in the warm weather, the trip was important for team building.

The girls stayed four to a room and one night each room participated in a talent contest. Koh knows how to juggle so she taught Nowak and two of her teammates.

The group also sang and sophomore Perri Stewart earned rave reviews for her impressions of the Glenbrook South coaching staff.

“It was hilarious,” Koh said. “We had so much fun.”

And the team continued to have fun when it returned, all the way to the state semifinals.

“This was a smart and hard-working group that was so much fun to coach,” Lesch said. ■

Weaver ready for more baseball — at Grinnell

■■By Bob Gosman

sports@northshoreweekend.com Deerfield High School graduate Brad Weaver was the baseball team’s starting third basemen at the beginning of his junior season before moving into a reserve role behind Ben Browdy.

Although his playing time decreased, he gained a great deal of knowledge from Browdy, who just completed his freshman season at Washington University in St. Louis.

“I was fortunate to be surrounded by some great senior leaders, and he was probably the most impactful kid on the team,” Weaver said. “He always knew what to say to motivate me to keep playing hard. Ben and the seniors taught me that hard work can overcome others who are more talented.”

Added Warriors coach Kevin Marsh: “He was in a situation where he could learn from Ben and pick up on his work ethic and drive to make everyone better around him.”

This season it was Weaver’s play and determined work ethic that rubbed off on his younger teammates.

“He was a great teammate. He led by example and worked his keister off,” Marsh said.

Weaver hit .295 with a .467 on-base percentage. He belted two home runs and led the Warriors in doubles (12) and RBIs (22). Weaver earned all-league honors along with teammates Nick Korompilas (.337, 21 RBI) and Mac Levin (7-1, 2.24 ERA).

“He hit right in the middle of our lineup and was very reliable for the most part,” Marsh said. “He was one of our best hitters.”

Weaver also made a big contribution in the field. He was one of the league’s best defensive third basemen.

“He made some phenomenal plays on slow rollers, where he would charge and get rid of the baseball,” Marsh said.

“He made some diving plays, some real web gems. His play on defense was a huge asset for us.”

Weaver said he’s always enjoyed playing third base. He started out as a shortstop before being moved to the hot corner at age 13.

“I like laying out for balls and then making the long throw across the diamond,” he said. “This season was the best I’ve played defensively.”

At the plate, Weaver was hitting close to .350 before tailing off at the end of the year.

“I was a little hesitant as a (junior),” he said. “As a senior, I felt very relaxed and was able to swing the bat freely and loosely, and it showed with good results.”

Weaver, 6-foot and 180-pounds, hit the weight room hard to prepare for his senior season.

“Each year the kids get faster and stronger and you have to get in the weight room to keep up,” he said. “Every extra set in the weight room helps your game in the long run.”

Weaver is excited to continue playing baseball at Grinnell College in Iowa.

“I was mainly looking at Division III schools that have a great combination of athletics and academics,” he said.

“When I visited Grinnell, I just had a great feeling that this would be my school.”

Weaver, who comes from a family of attorneys, plans to become … a doctor.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the sciences and medicine,” he said.

One of Grinnell’s opponents next year will be Washington University, which will mean a reunion with Browdy, his old teammate.

Weaver will play American Legion baseball this summer and work to prepare to make an immediate contribution at Grinnell.

“I’ve always loved baseball and I’m excited to continue improving on all aspects of the game,” he said.■

Scrum-tastic Kim, Harriers are true believers in the sport of rugby ■■BY BILL MCLEAN

SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM Flecks of blood from a bloody nose dotted parts of Jay Kim’s face. The member of the Lake Forest Harrier rugby club stood on a sideline, minutes removed from the end of a home game last month.

But Kim, a junior, wasn’t writhing in pain on the Deer Path Field. He smiled while explaining what thrills him about a niche sport that’s swelling in popularity.

“Rugby lets me get my hands on the ball,” Kim said. “I enjoy that because I don’t get to do that in football at my school [as a nose tackle at Glenbrook North].

“I love rugby. I’ll play it in college, definitely.”

Paul Passalino has played lacrosse, hockey, soccer and rugby. The Lake Forest

High School junior and Harriers back/kicker now focuses on only soccer and rugby, an activity that has been described as “a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”

What always gives him a charge in rugby games is the sight of the sport’s distinctly egg-shaped ball in flight as it nears him.

“That’s when I really feel the adrenaline,” said the 5-foot-10, 165-pounder, whose brother, Peter Passalino (LFHS, ’13), helped the Harriers capture the Tier 2 rugby state championship last year. “Seeing the ball come toward you and knowing you have the chance to grab it, run with it and bolt through people … that’s exciting.”

The Harriers edged visiting Plainfield 36-34 on May 7 for their first win of the spring. The 2014 squad also fielded at least one player from Libertyville, Deerfield, Lakes and Carmel Catholic high schools and

Loyola Academy. The two-time reigning Tier 2 state champs didn’t qualify for the postseason this spring; tremendous success in the past two seasons bumped them to Tier 1 — the state’s highest level.

“Night and day,” Harriers senior standout Matt Harmon said of the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2. “The players are in better condition in Tier 1. The coaching is better and so are the techniques the players use.”

Harmon, like Kim, loves getting his hands on the ball in rugby. The LFHS senior was a lineman for Scouts football teams and wrestled in the winters. “I’m not a fan of wearing pads … that’s also what I like so much about rugby,” said the 5-11, 220-pound Harmon, who first played rugby as a seventh-grader and intends to play club rugby and major in economics at the University of Kansas. “I like the freedom I feel when I’m

running around without pads. It’s a fun sport to play, a fun sport to watch. It’s fun for everybody.

“In football,” he added, “there are too many breaks [in action]. A ball carrier runs and gets tackled. Then there’s a break. In rugby, players never stop moving, never have to huddle up between plays.”

The Harriers’ fifth-year coach, Lake Forest native John Walker, competed as a rugby player at Eastern Illinois University. His highly capable staff of assistants includes Lake Forest College rugby coach Ed Giangiorgi and New Zealand native and personal trainer Wes Parkes, who probably experienced his very first scrum in rugby shortly after uttering “kiwi” for the first time.

Walker was thrilled when his Harriers had to play a challenging Tier 1 schedule this spring, even though most of his starters from the 2013 squad graduated last spring.

“I want our team to compete against the best teams in the state,” Walker said. “And we want to stay in Tier 1. It certainly will help us as we continue to grow.”

Cynthia Passalino knew nothing about rugby when her son, Peter, went out for the Lake Forest Harrier rugby club in the spring of 2012. But she read all about it after a friend loaned her a rugby union book. Cynthia learned the sport’s terms, positions and rules and today could easily conduct a helpful seminar for parents of novice rugby players.

Rugby’s penalty box is called the “sin bin.”

Wondering what a “hospital pass” is? It’s any pass that is made with a high risk of injury to the receiving player. It’s called a hospital pass because of the “high chances of the receiver going to a hospital afterward,” according to Wikipedia’s glossary of rugby league terms.

“My boys have told me that what they like most about rugby is the movement involved in the sport and how continuous it is,” Cynthia Passalino said.

Peter Passalino has continued to play rugby while attending Carleton (Minn.) College, where he also suits up as a forward for the school’s soccer program. The Carleton freshman is the youngest member of a Division II men’s rugby team, which isn’t affiliated with Carleton and battled a Kansas City crew in Iowa Falls in the spring. One of the KC players stands 6-7 and weighs 250 pounds, Cynthia Passalino noted.

Peter Passalino is 5-8, 160.

But that didn’t stop Passalino — a football player at LFHS his freshman and sophomore years — from valiantly taking on the fourlimbed building more than once.

He survived the clashes.

He lived to see the next day — without having to be admitted to a hospital.

LFHS senior and Harriers wing Niko Kyriacou stood on his team’s sideline, awaiting the nod to enter the game against Plainfield on May 7. As he spoke about the appealing aspects of a sport he’s played for three years, Harmon bulldozed his way to a try [rugby’s “touchdown,” worth five points].

“I like how the action is constant, like soccer,” Kyriacou said. “Plus it’s physical, like football. The best rugby teams tackle well, are proficient at passing the ball [backward] and don’t turn the ball over much.”

Forward passes are not allowed in rugby.

But eating food is encouraged — after each game … and with the opposing team.

Pound a ball carrier one minute; inhale pound cake with him the next.

There’s more to the sport than what goes on during games.

“That’s one of the beauties of the rugby, the way both teams get together for a friendly meal after a tough game,” Walker said. “It’s a way of showing respect and demonstrating good sportsmanship. As soon as parents see that, they’re on board with rugby.” ■

PERFECT WEekend | 35 Katie & Tom are in the swing in Paris

Last year, Tom Ford and Katie Ford traveled to London to attend Wimbledon in hopes of watching Roger Federer play. But Federer — a seven-time champion —was toppled by a 116th-ranked player on the tournament’s third day before the Fords had arrived.

“I said, ‘Let’s go to the French Open next year,’ “ says Tom, undeterred in his pursuit to watch the Grand Slam master in person.

In May, along with two other local couples who are great friends, they flew to Paris — where they had gotten engaged in 1999 — and surprisingly found themselves on a tennis court the first day. At a park in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the French Open had installed a red-clay court for tennis aficionados.

“They gave us shoes and a racquet — people clapped after points,” Tom recalls. “It was pretty surreal for a bunch of hackers.”

Each day, they took the Metra to Le Stade Roland Garros — which features three main courts with seating for thousands of fans to watch the big-name players, along with more than a dozen side courts for the lesser-knowns — and walked the five miles back. They loved the side courts, where they could watch players up close and even catch a wayward ball.

“It was so much fun. You’re in Paris, it’s a sporting event, and there’s great food."

In their spare time, they sought out the bridge under which Tom had asked Katie to marry him — initially unsure which one it was, they found it by the end of the trip.

And Federer?

“The red clay is beautiful. The points are long.

And we saw Federer,” Tom notes. “Now that that’s been checked off, if we go again I wouldn’t even get a stadium ticket. It’s great to see a guy who’s 79th in the world against a guy who’s 96th — and they’re playing for a real paycheck.”
