For the second time in three years, Conway Farms is hosting the BMW Championship, welcoming the best 70 golfers in the world to Luke Donald’s club in Lake Forest. The FedEx Cup tournament will be played Sept. 17-20 with practice rounds and pro-ams taking place in the days before it begins. Back in 2013, for its first bigtime pro tournament after hosting a number of important amateur t’s a quiet Tuesday at Conway events, Conway had much to Farms Golf Club. A few golfers prove.

excited North Shore fans. Like this year, the Evans Scholars Foundation — which provides college tuition for caddies — will receive significant money from the tournament’s proceeds. Of course, the inaugural event had its pitfalls. Torrential rains on Sunday meant the BMW Championship was forced to end on Monday, a day later than expected. “It was like you’re running a marathon and then having to go an extra two miles. The challenge is you’re trying to get that extra day of volunteers,” recalls Marsh. Even before that, a problem emerged that no one anticipated. “We were not ready for the level of phone calls. When I say it was ringing every 30 seconds, I kid you not,” Martin says. So a few changes will be implemented this year. A volunteer staff of women members will help answer phones (the signup sheet was filled in three days). Better signage and seating (including bucket chairs) will greet spectators. More parking will be available, and additional Metra trains will be added for drop-off at Lake Forest’s two train stations.

Military members will enjoy their own outpost at the 8th green. The driving range has been expanded. It’s hard to underestimate the importance of having hosted the tournament before. “We had no playbook for an event that size,” Marsh says. Adds Martin, “There’s so much more we’re comfortable with this time.” Both know they and their dedicated staff face 14-hour days that week in September, but they can’t wait. The adrenaline carries them through. And for Marsh, the knowledge that he can avoid being a TV personality is a blessing. Last time, he faced a live interview at 5:30 a.m. The questions were not in the order he had been told. “I froze. I stumbled through it. They cut me off, thank God,” he says. “They’re not asking me this time.” Enjoy the weekend.

Biggest Mariano’s store opens Joanna Schneider

ariano’s largest store to date opened in Northbrook on June 30. The supermarket retailer has 32 locations — it opened a nearby store on Waukegan Road in Glenview in October — and has plans for two more by the end of 2015. The new, nearly 91,000-squarefoot store boasts specialty food, including a gelato pop station, oyster bar, cheese and charcuterie areas and expanded vegan and vegetarian offerings. Also available: the company’s first on-site Vero coffee stand with roasted beans available for purchase. At a recent visit to the store, lines were long but moved quickly, and shoppers said they were happy to see the mega-supermarket so close to home. “The selection is incredible,” said Amy Reed, a Glenview resident and mom of three. “And it’s so convenient.” Reed’s 10-year-old has taken an interest in cooking meals with mom and said she loves the produce department – and sushi. “It’s fun to pick healthy things; peppers and California rolls are my favorite,” she said. Located at 2323 Capital Drive in the NorthShore 770 development, the new store has created about 500 jobs in the area.

Over the years he upgraded, and this year O’Brien and a crew of eight others raced in a new 40-foot Jeanneau 409.

At 16, he was invited by a friend to race The Mac, and he was hooked, sailing in a 35- foot J/109 with six other crew members last weekend. He continues to sail with his friend Kirk Wittenberg whom he’s known since he was 10 years old. While Beer grew up in Iowa, he also lived near a lake and learned how to sail on dinghy sailboats. It wasn’t until he moved to Chicago 12 years ago that he started offshore racing. Beer met people in the racing community, and after meeting the chairman of The Mac, he was

lucky enough to sail on the chairman’s boat his first four races. Beer raced a 34-foot J/33 sailboat with six crew members. While O’Brien was in the cruising division and the other men were in the racing division, they each prepared for the race in similar ways. O’Brien put together his crew in January when the invitations for The Mac come out. He organized practices dates for May and June so that the crew could brush up on their skills. Sims and his crew also began preparing in the spring by racing at the weekend regattas in Chicago. They participated in the NOOD Regatta, which is a three-day overnight race across Lake Michigan to Michigan City. Sims described the regatta as a

The crew races in the Waukegan Race, which is an overnight from Chicago to Waukegan and back. Like Sims, they race in the NOOD Regatta and the race to Michigan City. Sailing at night during The Mac presents its own difficulties, but all three crews enjoyed a similar system. Sim’s and Beer’s crews split into two watches that do alternating four-hour shifts.

Lifetime restaurateur embraces French cuisine By Simon Murray

fering exquisite French cuisine and a pleasant dining atmosphere” is a kid-friendly, Parisian-inspired, French bistro with a contemporary American twist. It’s 20th anniversary, this year, also boasts a surprising fact: over 90 percent of the original menu — including, of course, the salmon — is still being served to this day. Adam doesn’t serve bread anymore — but he gives off a vibe like he will. In fact, he seems comfortable getting anything, for anyone. As manager and owner of the restaurant, Adam oversees a wait staff hailed on Yelp as “genuinely friendly” and “works very hard to give you a good brasserie dining experience” on TripAdvisor. “By theme, we’re a French bistro,” says Adam. “So we have signature bistro fare: mussels, escargot, salad niçoise, bouillabaisse, half roasted chicken and duck.” The salmon is the Nieto’s riff on a traditional French bistro grilled salmon. “It’s a signature dish,” adds Adam. “It speaks to what we started out as all those years ago.”

hen Debbie and Carlos Nieto opened Carlos’ restaurant in Highland Park, their son, Adam, was about two and a half years old. On Sundays the restaurateurs would dress him up, taking a white napkin with twine and turning it into an apron. Like his father, he would be wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie. But he wasn’t just the tiniest member of the wait staff. Adam earned his keep; walking around the restaurant with a basket serving bread to customers. It’s little surprise, then, Adam grew up the consummate professional. “Don’t strain your eyes, or your neck — that’s all decoration,” he tells me. We’re standing in front of the large chalkboard sign that hangs above the open kitchen at Café Central, another Highland Park restaurant — and staple — owned by the Nietos. Decoration it is — now. But 20 years ago that was the menu. And in permanent fashion, written in paint in colorful cursive, is the grilled salmon with lentils — or what is currently being put Café Central is at 455 Central on a plate before our eyes.

AMAZING BUYS ON NB SHOES & GEAR!

Musings by Mike Lubow

ou’re pretty much guaranteed to see something interesting when you wander the North Shore. How can this be guaranteed? Just wait. Take last Sunday. You walked along a North Shore beach. Nautical atmosphere. Sunscreen scent. Sand in your shoes. And birds. Gulls, terns, sandpipers, maybe a few ducks. Interesting. But, you didn’t dwell on the birds, at least not for the moment. Then, you came to a bluff above a creek that bisects the beach. There’s a wall of hard sand there. In it are hundreds of holes, each a few inches wide.

Again, interesting. You weren’t the only one stopping to look at the wall of holes. Others stood around staring at it; some were even taking pictures. And you were all watching brown and white birds going in and out of those holes. Flitting, diving, circling, chattering. You found yourself reaching for your smartphone, punching up Google. Soon, you learned that you just stumbled across a colony of bank swallows. Not everyday birds. They’re not backyard birds or lawn birds. Not feeder birds. They’re a Google-worthy discovery.

Pretty interesting. Bank swallows got their name because they build a “bird city” of holes in sand banks or clay banks, all kinds of vertical, earthen walls. You spent a couple of minutes observing them. Okay, point made. You saw something interesting. You always see something interesting on a walk along the North Shore. But, as mentioned at the start, how can this be guaranteed? Answer: Even on a day when you don’t see anything interesting, well, that’s such a rare occurrence it’s interesting, in itself. So you can’t lose. Bank on it.

Let’s Talk Real Estate So it’s finally time for you to take that unused spare bedroom, the attic space that only collects dust or the garage that’s the family “catch-all” and convert it into a functional room to suit your family’s lifestyle—congratulations on this exciting step in home ownership! By re-purposing the unused areas of your home, you’re immediately adding enjoyment, relaxation and purpose into what was previously wasted space. In the long-term, you’re adding value to your home’s “resume” by providing prospective buyers with a floor plan maximized for efficiency and square footage, as well as a one-of-a-kind specialty room! For any space conversion, check building regulations to establish necessary headroom. Generally, a room must be allow no less than 6-8 feet of headroom to be considered a “habitable space”; according to most building codes require an opening, such as a window or skylight whose size is comprised of a percentage of the floor area for lighting and ventilation reasons. If an attic doesn’t meet the requirement for headroom it doesn’t mean it is destined to remain an attic: with the help of a contractor, the roof can be raised, or dormerwindows can be installed, providing headroom, lighting and ventilation. When re-purposing a room, it is always a good idea to consult with a building contractor, architect or engineer to ensure the soundness of a structure and to determine whether the additional “living load” will require any reinforcements or underpinnings to maintain the structure’s reliability over time. Trained professionals may also be able to help you find solutions to obstacles to conversion of a room, making sure that wasted space doesn’t stay wasted needlessly. Contractors are also essential for practical solutions: if electricity, drainage or water are needed for a new room, a licensed professional is best equipped to determine how the utilities can be linked to existing services in a manner that is safe and dependable. Finally, consider what kind of room you will be creating and how that room figures into the overall “flow” of the house—for example, a “rumpus room” is probably not best located near quiet bedrooms, nor bathrooms near kitchen or living areas unless there is some sort of separation or lobby space. There’s no reason to waste a space when you could be living there. Once you’ve taken into consideration all of the coding, practical, structural and aesthetic elements to your room conversion, you can relax and enjoy the new room, satisfied in its safety, comfort, beauty and practical luxury!

Let’s be Frank Loyola Academy grad figures to thrive in the power department at the next level BY KEVIN REITERMAN, sports@northshoreweekend.com

f you saw him come up to the plate for the very first time, you might think, ‘hmm, what do we have here?’ ’’ Here’s a powerful kid. Here’s a “middle linebacker” in a double knit baseball jersey. His swing? Locked and loaded. His look? Long black locks of hair flowing out of his helmet? Not quite Samson-like. But close. Jacob Frank had the throwback thing going this past spring for the Loyola Academy baseball team. This intriguing 5-foot-10, 210pound first baseman had the indisputable look of a power hitter. And here’s a safe bet. His game, especially his power stroke, will only flourish at the college level. Frank was one of the top recruits for Division III power Concordia University. “He can hit the ball out of any park,” said Dusty Napoleon, who was an assistant coach at Concordia before being named as an assistant at Northwestern University on July 6. “His bat is going to play well at the next level, especially his power. He’s got good bat speed, and he uses his legs very well. And when you’re big and strong like him, the ball is going to go when he hits it. “Recruiting him was a nobrainer. He’s got good grades and a good personality. And he comes from a great family,” added Napoleon, son of New Trier High School head baseball coach Mike Napoleon. “It was a good day in the office, when he committed.” Napoleon, a three-year starter at the University of Iowa before being drafted in the 19th round and playing four seasons in the Oakland Athletics farm system, loves Frank’s old-school approach to the game. “You watch,” Napoleon said. “He runs to his position. He’s the first player out of the dugout and onto the field. And he runs out fly balls and groundballs. Hard. “We look for that,” the coach added. “We like kids who play the game the right way.” Frank already has started to transition himself to the River Forest, Illinois, school. Earlier this summer, he assisted the coaches at Concordia’s youth baseball

ended up hitting .382 with 15 doubles and 21 RBIs. His OPS was an eye-popping 1.034. “Hitting No. 4 feels pretty natural for me,” Frank said. “Last year, I hit only one home run, which is not me. So I tried to swing harder and faster this past season.” “It was good having him hit behind me,” said teammate Jack Yalowitz, an Illinois recruit, who batted No. 3 in the LA batting order. “He’s got a lot of raw power, and he’s got it to all fields. “And he’s a very opportunistic hitter,” Yalowitz added. Frank’s signature moment this past spring came at a crucial time. In a Class 4A regional title game against Niles Notre Dame at LA’s Munz Athletic Campus on June 1, he smashed a pitch over the left-field fence to break a 1-1 deadlock in the top of the 11th inning. “It was nice to help out Mikey,” said Frank, referring to senior right-hander Mikey Rivera (Denison University) who pitched all 11 innings in the 2-1 victory. It was a game with plenty of magnitude: regional final, 11 innings, versus Notre Dame. Many of the Notre Dame players are his friends. Immediately after the game, Frank was the recipient of a kind gesture, when a parent — Scott Rafferty, father of junior Charlie Rafferty — went into the left-field woods and dug out the home-run ball. “Special,” said Frank. “The ball is in my room right now. It’s right there with my 2005 Chicago White Sox World Series replica trophy.” A lifelong White Sox fan, it’s no wonder that he counts ex-Sox first baseman Paul Konerko as his all-time favorite player. “He was always that guy for them,” Frank said. Jacob Frank swings away while hitting cleanup for the Ramblers. This past spring, he hit a team-high six home runs while driving in 37 Frank, who plays his club baseruns.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

Doctor dedicated to solving eating issues

By Simon Murray

hen Dr. Julie Friedman first met Susan McClanahan, chief executive officer of Insight Behavioral Health Centers, it was over a lunch similar to the one we’re having. McClanahan, who oversees Insight’s eating disorder treatment centers in Chicagoland, was impressed with Dr. Friedman’s private practice in Northbrook. “I want to know what you’re doing,” she told Dr. Friedman, a clinical health psychologist, over the phone. The two met soon after. It turns out that what Dr. Friedman was doing was nothing short of revolutionary, especially when it came to her binge eating and obese patients. Not only was she treating each case differently, but her approach to solving their ongoing problems didn’t target food intake alone. She was much more concerned with other factors, such as stress and sleep deprivation. Revolutionary thinking, at the time. That was two years ago. She’s now the director of Insight’s binge eating and weight management programs, assisting patients f rom all over the country. Seated in a booth at Deerfield’s Eggshell Café, Dr. Friedman orders a spinach omelet with fruit and wheat toast on the side. The Deerfield doctor, mother of two girls, and avid SiriusXM Doctor Radio listener has a bone to pick, a soap box to stand on. Her gym this morning was playing an episode

of “Teen Mom”— the MTV series that charts the ongoing struggles of pregnant high school students — and in that particular episode, one of the adults was giving a young mother —and, inadvertently, the show’s horde of young viewers — some advice. "Stick to a 1,200-calorie diet," she tells her, somewhat innocuously, as a way to get rid of unwanted baby fat. Nobody disagrees. Dr. Friedman’s gripe is with that advice, and that silence. “I was thinking of all the teenagers at home, maybe even struggling with t h e i r weight, who are watching this,” she says, finally able to express what she’s been mulling over in her head. “This is the messaging that little girls get, and that’s just crazy because it’s so wrong. “Because of course, what’s our interpretation if someone can’t eat 1,200 calories a day? It’s some failure of theirs from a character perspective. It feeds into weight stigma.” The first week Dr. Friedman started at Insight, the American Medical Association (AMA), the nation’s largest physician organization, voted at its annual meeting to recognize obesity as a medical disease. The landmark decision was hailed almost im-

in the gut. This treatment has a biological and physiological bent to it—not just lets talk about your childhood and your emotions. For some, their underlying circuitry is wired the same way as a drug addict — but one who seeks and receives a “high” from food. The reward circuitry in their brains is wired to need more and more food to get the same effect — a feeling of fullness — that is pushing binge eaters to overeat. — Dr. Julie The residents in Dr. Friedman’s CORE group —which Friedman stands for Compulsive Overeating Recovery Effort — come sciously.

mediately as a controversial move. On the third day of work, Dr. Friedman went on the morning show at Fox 32, a local news station, and faced detractors of the ruling head on. They were still under the impression that obesity was primarily a discipline problem that individuals could address themselves. “There are people” even today,

notes Dr. Friedman, “who still object to classifying obesity as a medical disease.” But that doesn’t change the fact that Americans have a complex, sometimes dangerous relationship with food.
