It’s flu season — for dogs. North Shore veterinarians,
boarders and others are warning residents to be on alert. Since February, a rare case of Canine
Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD) has hit the Chicago area and is now at epidemic levels, topping more than 1,000 re-ported cases, according to the Cook County Department of Animal and Rabies Control.
Five dogs have died from the virus (though none on the North Shore), and that has prompted many to take precautions against further spread of the highly con-tagious bug. Several area PetSmart locations have closed
their popular pet hotels. At Green Bay Animal Hospital in Wilmette, e-mails have been sent to the animal hospital’s families warning of symptoms, which include a dry hacking cough, oral discharge that is white, foamy, green or yellow, lethargy, nasal discharge, possible fever or loss of appetite.
Yuppy Puppy in Lake Bluff has been hit by the virus.
“Right now, people need to assume that anywhere they board their dogs there will be a very high likelihood that the dog will go home with the flu,” said Betsy Puterbaugh, owner of Yuppy Puppy, a dog daycare and board-ing facility that recently had four dogs out of 60 become symp-tomatic during a busy spring break period last week.
Puterbaugh has had a number of cancellations after encourag-ing clients to keep their dogs at home for a few weeks to elimi-nate possible exposure. In the interim, she has also offered kennel attendants to go to client homes to provide home boarding and dog walking services. Her son has even personally taken a few sick dogs to his home for owners with longstanding travel plans that have no other option; his roommate is a vet tech so they can keep a close eye on the patients.

There is absolutely nothing more that we could have done to keep this flu virus out of our facility,” she said, noting that when her team discovered the symptomatic dogs, all four were placed in an isolation room to-gether where they were cared for away from the other dogs. Owners were able to check in on them through Yuppy Puppy’s webcam system.

FIRST WORD
10 | saturday april 11 | sunday april 12 2015 the north shore weekend
Rarely before has hype reached such heights.
Some reports had the Chicago Cubs — they of the 107-year championship drought — dropping to 6-1 odds to win the World Series. Wrigley Field was poised to look like a 21st-century stadium with tens of millions of dollars in upgrades. An Opening Night against archrival and perennial con-tender St. Louis Cardinals to show off the left arm of new ace Jon Lester, the savvy of new manager Joe Maddon … it seemed to be scripted by Hol-lywood.
But the franchise acted more like the Bad News Bears than anything else.
No runs scored that night. No bleachers to sit in. A massive Jumbotron (complete with Kiss Cam) that hovered out of place
over the small park. Neighbor-hood complaints about excessive noise from a new loudspeaker system. Toilets that didn’t flush.
Yes, same old Cubs. Or maybe even worse, considering the guy who led the team in spring train-ing home runs, Kris Bryant, remains in the minors.
Of course, it has to get better. Due to deadlines, by the time you read this, they may even be atop the National League Central Division with only 158 games to go.
Few had more to say about the Cubs and their endless foibles than former North Shore resident and Chicago Tribune columnist Mike Royko, who passed away nearly 20 years ago (and whose memorial was held at Wrigley Field). Based on the column excerpt below, it seems he may have watched the last
five seasons from his perch above:
“It’s hard to describe how bad those last-place teams were,” he
wrote. “Sitting in the stands, you always knew the best athletes on the field were the other team. And the next-best athletes were in the ground crew.”
One year, Cubs’ outfielder Jose Cardenal couldn’t play in spring training because of a sticky eyelid. Explained Royko, “People were careful not to approach him from his blind side, for fear of being bitten … the fans were delighted with his recovery, and after watch-ing the Cubs for a few games, their eyelids dropped shut.”
Treating the Cubs as comic relief is often the only way for a fan to stay sane.
Enjoy the weekend.

himself with civilization and fresh air.
“Then he got a job,” Dr. Brander says. “Later, he found out we were coming.”
A team of Operation Walk Chicago volunteers arrived in Hanoi in late February. Brand-er and Dr. David Stulberg co-founded the private, nonprofit medical organization 11 years ago. In a 10-day stretch in the capital of Vietnam — be-ginning at 6:30 a.m. on most days and ending at 10:30 p.m. — Operation Walk Chicago surgeons and support staff per-formed 70 state-of-the-art hip and knee replacement surgeries on 56 patients. Many of them used their vacation time to al-leviate others’ pain. Fourteen of the 55 volunteers are affili-ated with NorthShore Univer-sity HealthSystem (NorthShore Evanston, Glenbrook, High-land Park and Skokie hospitals).
Some patients underwent two procedures at once.
The 28-year-old Vietnamese was one of them. He had both of his hips replaced.
“His story … it’s an amazing one, one of my favorite stories to tell,” Dr. Brander says. “Our missions overseas have opened our eyes to the needs of many, many people … poor people, catastrophically disabled peo-ple. Our skills and technology are needed in other countries; we started this to serve un-derserved populations. We screen hundreds and hundreds of people before picking those who need the surgeries in a host country. We make sure the candidates are unable to pay for the surgery, and we make sure they are healthy enough to un-dergo the surgery.
“When they find out they had been chosen,” she adds, “they feel like they had just won a lottery. These surgeries are life-changers.”
Another moving story at Hanoi Military Hospital 108 last month centered around a patient with ties to the Viet Cong. The political or-ganization and army fought
the United States and South Vietnamese governments in the Vietnam War. The patient needed a right knee replace-ment. The patient was suspi-cious of Americans.
“He had this long beard,” Dr. Brander recalls. “And he was grouchy.”
The Operation Walk Chi-cago team went to work. Fol-lowing the surgery, Heather McKinley — a physician as-sistant and former center-mid-fielder on Glenbrook South High School soccer teams — gave the patient a thumbs-up. A grouch no more, the patient insisted on having his picture taken with McKinley. They smiled together. Click. They hugged.
“He told me, ‘What your group did for me has changed my mind [about Americans] forever,’ ” McKinley says.
The group’s missions do not start and end on operating ta-bles. They introduce rehabilita-tive programs for the patients. They educate local orthopaedic surgeons. They assist in a coun-try’s development of programs designed to reduce arthritis-related disabilities. They part-ner with in-country clinicians to establish arthritis care that is practical and sustainable.
“It has been a privilege to be a part of something like this,” says Dr. Lalit Puri, division head of adult reconstruction for North Shore Orthopaedic In-stitute and a part of nine Oper-ation Walk Chicago missions. “Patients show a great amount of gratitude. Great warmth is generated. The interaction be-tween patients and volunteers is rich, always rich.
“It takes a tremendous amount of teamwork each time we enter a country, and we’ve gotten better at it,” the Glen-view resident adds. “The num-ber of things we do, the number of people doing what they need to do … it’s like an orchestra.”
Among the indelible memo-ries Dr. Puri absorbs on each mission are patients’ looks mo-ments before surgery. He de-
tects relief from them. He sees hope — a feeling many of the impoverished hadn’t experi-enced in years, perhaps decades.
“There’s a tremendous amount of calm in their eyes,” he says. “It’s a remarkable peace. My sense is, they’d been through so much discomfort that they’re willing to take on something as major and as challenging as joint replace-ment surgery. They show a great deal of courage.”
A significant amount of the money donated annually to Operation Walk Chicago comes from joint-replacement patients who live on the North Shore and other parts of Chi-cagoland. Most feel completely different after surgery. They are optimistic again, mobile again, on the road to a pain-free state. They find themselves in a giving mood. Their generosity makes similar surgery possible for people near and far, from an un-insured Chicagoan to a disabled electrician in Kathmandu.
“They went through the experience of a hip or a knee replacement surgery, and they want somebody else to be able to experience it and benefit from it,” says Dr. Stulberg, the Operation Walk Chicago co-founder. “Patients and donors from here wrote letters to the patients in Vietnam. In the letters they described a proce-dure and their experiences as patients. They let the patients in Hanoi know what to expect. We read those letters to the Vietnamese patients when we were there.”
Operation Walk Chicago plans to upgrade a hospital in Nepal later this year. Time also will be devoted in 2015 to prepare for a clinical mission in Brazil next year. It typically takes at least nine months to fully corral all the moving piec-es of a major mission, to sort its critical details, to streamline its logistics. It takes time to hone an orchestra.
Another band of Opera-tion Walk Chicago volunteers will return to Hanoi in 2016. More hips will be replaced. More knees will be replaced. A certain 28-year-old man — who has functioning hips now, who is bedridden only when he is tired now — is expected to undergo two knee replacement surgeries.
One of Dr. Brander’s favorite stories just got better.

VIETNAM Continued from page 1
populations of dogs, such as dog parks, day cares, and ken-nels are already at risk of con-tracting CIRD because some or not all have been vaccinated properly. There does exist a vac-cination specifically for dog flu but it is not considered a core vaccine by the American Ani-mal Hospital Association and must be given in two doses, two to three weeks apart, be-fore the dog is protected. Also vaccinating a dog that is previ-
ously exposed, or already show-ing symptoms, will not prevent the disease nor is it a guarantee that the dog won’t get sick.
“Like the flu vaccine in peo-ple, it can lessen the severity of symptoms,” said Belmonte who suggests owners should contact their veterinarian to see if the shot is preferable for their pet.
Dogs with poor immune systems, puppies and senior dogs are more at risk for devel-oping complications, according to Belmonte. Though deaths from dog flu are rare, the ones that have passed are likely due to the progression of the dis-ease to pneumonia.
Belmonte’s tip is to keep dogs at home and hire a pet sitter if necessary, which is line with the Illinois State Vet-erinary Medical Association’s recommendation that any dog with a diagnosis or possible exposure should stay on home quarantine for three weeks and not taken out of the area to avoid the spread of dog flu.
Both the Heartland Animal Shelter and Doggie Do-Rite Daycare facilities are open in Northbrook.
“There are no known cases here at Heartland Animal Shelter, but because the influ-enza virus is so contagious, we are taking all the precautions we need to protect our animals at Heartland and minimize ex-posure to them,” said Dr. Kris-tine Preiser, Heartland Ani-mal Shelter’s medical director.
Healthy dogs are available for adoption and regular hours are being honored for interested parties who are encouraged to come into the facility. As a precaution, Heartland has cor-doned training classes off to their pet residents for the time being.
“We will notify the com-munity when training classes are open to the public,” says Volunteer Coordinator Janice Greenberg.
Doggie Do-Rite Daycare has not been directly impacted by CIRD but as a precaution they are not accepting any new dogs at this time.
“We’ve also sent messages to our clients to keep them in-formed that it is going around and asking that they do not bring in their dog if it is sick whatsoever,” said owner Sta-cey Findley. Some have already been pulling their dogs out of the facility for the time being, and typically busy days have now slowed down, though Findley expects business to get back to normal in the coming weeks as the virus gets under control.
Findley and her team have talked to their vet partners and have stayed up to date on re-searching CIRD and facilities in the area that have closed. They’ve also upkept normal cleaning procedures and have left windows open more often to ward off any airborne trans-fer.
Dr. David Stulberg and Dr. Victoria Brander are North Shore physi-cians and co-founders of Operation Walk Chicago.
“When a con-tagious dog
walks through your door,
every dog that comes near it the next 3-10 days is now 100 percent guaranteed
to get the flu. It’s a vicious
cycle.” —Betsy

“There’s one beach on the southern part of Iceland, where the energy of the ocean is immense,” said Winnetkan John Vlahakis, whose passion is
to photograph the grandeur of our natural world. “You stand on a volcanic beach looking at the power of the waves, and you feel how insignificant you can be in the presence of nature.”
That appreciation for the
great outdoors started way back when John was a kid growing up in Glenview, and the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 made a splash across the na-tion.
“I had a very inspi-rational sev-e n t h - g r a d e teacher who c h a l l e n g e d our class to do
something about the e n v i r o n -
ment,” Vlahakis said. So he did. Standing on the
corner of Waukegan and Glen-view Roads, John and a group of 12-year-olds passed out paper bags with hand-painted slogans that asked locals to wake up
about protecting the environ-ment. “We asked people to pick up their trash and not throw it out of their car windows or in the streets,” he remembered.
An advocate was born. “Throughout my life I’ve been proactive,” he said. “My pho-tography has become a way for me to express not only my commitment to the environ-ment, but to share with people the same kind of natural expe-rience that I’m photographing.”
He displays his photography now at ZIA Gallery on Chest-nut Street in Winnetka. Five years ago, the opportunity to buy the gallery fell in his lap, and he views his ownership as a social investment in the village.
“An art gallery is a pretty good vehicle for providing some diversity in our shopping dis-trict,” he said. “I’m not making money on the gallery, but I’m employing people and helping artists present their work.”
ZIA Gallery opens the cur-
tains to eight shows a year. With portfolios in hand, fea-tured artists travel here from Canada and California, New York and New Mexico, among other North American loca-tions. These artists from differ-ent spots on the map were able to pool their talents last fall for a special fund-raising opportu-nity brimming with poignancy.
A little more than a year ago, a college student from Winnetka, Sarah McCausland, was killed by a drunk driver in New York state. The beloved student’s death shocked the local community and generated a wellspring of support.
“Sarah’s friends stopped in and asked if we would pass out some Icelandic stickers in the gallery,” Vlahakis said. “This girl had a love for Iceland and was learning the Icelandic lan-guage before she died. I have a daughter and two sons and to lose one of them would be more than heartbreaking.”
Vlahakis found that Sarah’s
magnetic attraction to Iceland was one he and several other artists shared.
“We have a few artists repre-sented by the gallery, including me, who’ve done artist residen-cies in Iceland,” he said. “We asked if they’d be willing to do an art show called ‘Iceland Inspired’ and designate a percentage of re-sulting sales to a scholarship fund in Sarah’s name. Their reaction was immediate and positive.”
Earth Day in the 1970s birthed John’s passion for the environment. Years later, this love of natural places — especially Iceland — connected him to a local grieving family, and he in turn made it pos-sible for artists to encircle the Mc-Causlands with generosity.
“We did something to pro-vide healing to the community,” John said. “And we offered a call to action to highlight this young woman’s short life, her dreams and aspirations.”

Katie Beach and Windy City Field Hockey were always meant to end up
together. They first unknowingly
crossed paths at the inaugural National Hockey Festival, the largest field hockey event in the United States, in 1991. For Beach, it was as a high school
senior who used the opportuni-ty to get recruited by a Division 1 field hockey college team. For Windy City Field Hockey, it was the first out-of-state trip of what would become a tre-mendously successful traveling team organization.
However, they wouldn’t end up meeting each other for an-other 18 years.
Windy City Field Hockey is an organization that gives kids of all ages and interest levels the ability to learn year-round in facilities all over the North Shore, from Evanston to Northbrook to Highland Park, and learn under the tutelage of instructors that have all com-peted at a collegiate level.
For the last four years, it’s all happened under the expert eye of the new owner and di-rector, 1996 Olympian and 2014 USA Field Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Katie Beach, who played under her maiden name, Katie Kauffman.
“I always come home from practices smiling,” Beach says.” I just love the sport. I think it
has so much to offer young la-dies who want to play.
“I think there’s so much op-portunity in being part of a team. You learn so much about your-self, about working with others, and you make great friends. For me, I got to travel the world and have friends all over the world because of this sport.”
Beach first picked up the stick in her freshman year of high school. Grounded in raw athleticism she fostered on the track as the daughter of a track and field coach, she saw her older sister play field hockey and decided to give it a shot. Her senior year appearance at the National Hockey Festival lead to offers from several Di-vision I schools, and she went on to play for University of Maryland on a field hockey scholarship. Her sophomore year of college, her team won the national championship and she was invited to try out for the U.S. Women’s National Field Hockey Team. As soon as she graduated college, she spent 11 years playing on the
National Team. She traveled all over the world, competed on the 1996 USA Women’s Field Hockey Olympic team, played in multiple World Cups, and was named USA Player of the Year twice.
“The thing I remember the most is walking over that bridge into the Olympic sta-dium,” she says. “I felt like I got permanent chills. All that hard work, all those grueling work-outs were worth it.”
She retired from the sport in 2004 and took up a position as head coach of the Columbia University field hockey team in New York. To date, she has the highest field hockey win record in Columbia University history.
“I really liked coaching collegiately,” Beach says. “I wouldn’t have thought there was anything better. But get-ting the opportunity to come here to Windy City and work more with youth — kids in high school who have dreams to play in college, kids who just want to pick up the stick for the first time — to me, that
was a dream come true.”Windy City Field Hockey
has many different levels of participation available to kids who want to get involved, from kindergarten through to seniors in high school. Sixth through twelfth graders have the opportunity to try out for one of Windy City’s many travel teams, who compete against each other and against other teams in the country. Windy City also organizes international trips so students can experience the grandiose nature of field hockey abroad – the massive stadiums filled to cheer the teams playing the World Cup. Windy City has also started adding young men who are interested in learning the sport to their training and travel teams. After all, it’s an Olympic sport and we do have a US Men’s National Field Hockey Team as well.

hIs Bold actIons have Buoyed Glencoe parksGlencoe Park District’s
Director of Parks and Maintenance Rick
Bold is set to retire after near-ly 37 years on the job.
The prior director held the position for 48 years, mean-ing only two men have led this department in the last 85 years.
“Glencoe is a really nice community. I developed a lot of great friendships,” said Bold, who is a Glencoe resi-dent.
Bold became interested in the great outdoors when he was a child growing up in the Skokie/Morton Grove area. He participated in Boy Scouts, where he enjoyed camping and other outdoor activities. Bold also had a fondness for climbing trees. He remembers sneaking out at night to watch the Skokie Park District flood
a local park to create an ice rink in the winter.
This love for the outdoors led Bold to a pre-forestry program at Eastern Illinois University and then a forestry program at Southern Illinois University, where he earned his degree. While Bold initial-ly wanted to become a forest ranger, he soon realized that he needed to broaden his in-terests in such a crowded field with few opportunities. After taking courses on landscape design, he realized working in parks and recreation would be a good fit.
Bold’s first position was at the Wilmette Park District, but when the position opened in Glencoe in 1978, Bold took the job and gained more re-sponsibilities. In his position, Bold oversees the grounds, parks, landscaping, athletic
fields, beaches — essentially anything owned by the Park District that is outside. He is also in charge of the mainte-nance of all Park District fa-cilities, such as Watts Ice Are-na, Takiff Recreation Center and the beach facilities.
Because Glencoe is a small town, he was able to get out-side and get his hands dirty.
“My job wasn’t just admin-istrative, I was able to work in the field,” Bold explained. “Just staying in my office is not what I like.”
Over time Bold devel-oped a passion for trees, since Glencoe has so many old trees that need care. Along the way he became a certified arbor-ist. Bold also continued his education in other areas, be-coming a certified sports field manager and a certified play-ground inspector.

Torrential rains will no lon-ger be a concern for 17 Glenview homeowners
who have opted to participate in a voluntary buyout of their flood-prone residences.
Eighteen homes were eli-gible in the program that was introduced in November and gave owners until March 31 to decide.
It is a joint initiative of the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA) and
Metropolitan Water Reclama-tion District of Greater Chi-cago (MWRD) and adminis-tered through the village’s office. Its mission is to prevent further damage and financial impact to a vulnerable flood plain that sits on the north branch of the Chicago River. The area in-cludes lower Pine Street and the south circles of the village such as Raleigh and Longvalley roads that have been ravished by flood damage, most recently in 2013.
Under the plan guidelines, federal funding will buy the homes, which will then be de-molished and turned into green space where the river can con-tinue to flood without reper-cussion. With only one hold-out, the program was a success and comes a relief to federal and local officials.
“There was no other cost-effective solution for this area,” said Joe Kenney, director of community development for
Glenview, pointing to a study MWRD started more than five years ago to analyze area waterways and their impact on regional flooding. “There are 20 square miles of Glenview that is all tributary to the river, and it flows through Glenview during these big rains, which puts the roads and homes under water.”
After MWRD completed its study, the village of Glenview applied for FEMA funding, which provided $3 million, and
MWRD contributed the rest that ended up totaling $11 mil-lion. The village did not provide funding.
The amount each house re-ceived was different, said Kenney.
“Each house went through two different appraisals and received an average of the two figures,” he said.
The process works like any other home, closing with walk-throughs and a final vacation date upon which the village
will start to demolish the area 90 days after with full comple-tion of the project on track for November. Though the home-owners were not officially sur-veyed about their plans, Kenney said some are planning to stay in Glenview while others have expressed interest in buying property elsewhere.
Kenney said this is consid-ered a one-time program.

The theme this year at McKenzie’s Variety Show was aptly called “We Are
McKenzie,” since the show run by parent volunteers has been an integral part of the Wilmette elementary school’s community since it first started 35 years ago.
The opening song was to the tune of “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, where parents filled the stage singing “Clap along if you feel like McKenzie is the place for you.”
And certainly the school seemed like the place to be re-cently, as each show was sold out and the auditorium was packed with families clapping along to popular tunes accom-panied by a live band. Everyone involved with the show was a volunteer – from the director, producer and cast, to the stage
crew and sound engineer. Even the songs were written by par-ents.
The hour-long show be-gan with alumnae night, when alumnae were invited to attend a performance and show their support of current volunteer performers. The cast then per-formed a show every night of the week with a finale of two shows, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
This year the audience en-joyed watching movie clips of students talking about why they like McKenzie. Filmed on the playground, school hallways and cafeteria, parents were given a rare opportunity to see their children talking with inhibition about their school. While many students expressed a love of recess and special snack day, others were
sure to say how much they love their McKenzie teachers.
But the variety show wasn’t just for parents this year either. McKenzie teachers dressed up like their students and sang “Time to Go” to the tune of “Let it Go,” while students in the audience cheered them on.
The show celebrated various aspects of McKenzie such as the cakewalk that is popular at Fall Frenzy (a fall fair for stu-dents), the Halloween parade when students parade in cos-tumes around the school, the tug of peace played at field day in the spring and running day that occurs in physical educa-tion class once a week. In be-tween acts, a group of Minions entertained the audience with silly antics as they tried unsuc-cessfully to catch the McKen-zie Cheetah.
After each show, tradition dictates that cast members sign autographs in gymnasium. Some students lucky enough to get a Variety Show t-shirt get signatures on the t-shirt, while other students get signatures on their program.
Melissa Stressler has a fourth grader at the school and was signing autographs after the show on March 19.
“I do the show for the kids because my son really enjoys seeing me on stage and out of my comfort zone,” she said.
Cindy Fey also performed in the show and expressed enthusi-asm for the show shared by most cast members. Said she, “We are having as much fun on the stage as the kids are having off stage.”

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!

Every other year during the spring, Lake Forest resi-dent Jennifer Mower is
thinking about the Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens.
A biannual fundraiser for the Lake Forest chapter of the Infant Welfare Society, the Showhouse & Gardens is as much a part of her family’s his-tory as their favorite dessert or vacation spot.
“My mom has been on the board since I was a little girl, and I remember riding around town in the back of the station wagon promoting the chapter’s annual antique sale,” said event co-chair Mower, speaking of her mother Lanie Camino. “From January through May, that’s all my mom talked about — every detail of every room. Even when I was in college, she’d call and talk to me about the designers and what they were doing in each area of the home.”
Camino, a longtime Lake Forest antiques dealer and a founding co-chair of the Showhouse & Gardens, shared her passion for the event and the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago with her daughter. Both will be on hand for the opening of the 2015 Lake For-est Showhouse & Gardens on
Saturday, April 25, the day af-ter the preview party. Designer Alessandra Branca will serve as honorary chair and offer a spe-cial lecture on The New Liv-ing Room on Tuesday, April 28 (Mower worked for Branca for years, procuring her first job with her at the Showhouse & Gardens; now her sister is go-ing to work for Branca).
This year’s house is that of the late screenwriter, director and producer John W. Hughes Jr., known for his films that de-fined the 1980s such as “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off ” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” Twenty-six interior designers and seven landscape designers have reimagined the home’s seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, library, dining room and liv-ing room, garden room, family room, media room and office suite in Lake Forest. Addi-tional features include original millwork, six fireplaces, a swim-ming pool, bluestone terraces and professionally landscaped grounds.
The house was designed by architect Edwin Hill Clark, whose other works include the Lake Forest Library and the Lincoln Park and Brookfield zoos. Nancy Hughes donated the house to Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital in 2014. It will return to the market af-
ter the Showhouse & Gardens ends in May.
Designers honored the beauty of the historic home in their work, Mower said, while also updating the kitchen and adding a mudroom to appeal to today’s buyers. Upon enter-ing, guests will receive a catalog with descriptions of each room and garden, and volunteer do-
cents will be on hand to share information about the house’s history.
For example, Mower said, the docent in the man cave might have fun facts to share about the Hughes’ crest painted on one wall, as well as meetings and movie scripts developed on site. Expect to see a loop of Hughes’ films running in the teen retreat.
“If you see a paint color, light fixture or fabric you love, you can go back in the cata-log later and find the source,” Mower said. “Many items in the rooms will be available to purchase, and 10 percent of the sale goes to the clinic. There is something for everyone to fall in love with in this spectacular home.”
And these days, the third generation — Mower’s daugh-ters Caroline and Alexandra —tag along with their mom just as she did with hers. Says Mower, “My daughters love going on private tours of the house during the transforma-tion. They always beg me to redo their rooms when they see what the designers have done with the final product.”
For information on the Friday, April 24 preview event, the Tues-day, April 28 Branca lecture or to purchase tickets in advance, visit www.lakeforestshowhouse.com.

While discussing how members of the U.S. military put them-
selves in harm’s way on behalf of all citizens, Miss Stock’s kin-dergarten class at Sacred Heart School in Winnetka wanted to show their support.
After discussing patriotism, what it takes to be a soldier, and popular symbols for America (such as baseball and the bald eagle), the students were asked to bring in items that matched those themes. They brought back plastic army men, stars, and letters to spell out words like “brave” and “proud.” Some of the 5- and 6-year-olds do-nated their favorite toys to the project to demonstrate the con-cept of sacrificing something
important to you for something you believe in.
All of the assembled items were positioned onto a can-vas the students then painted to look like an American flag. The final mixed-media mosaic is made up of 160 objects — including a cicada bug, a but-terfly, crayons, house keys, a skateboarder figure, a 9/11 pin and more.
“One of the things the kids learn about at this school is charity,” says Tanya Scan-dariato, a room mom for Miss Stock’s class. “For example, they did a walkathon to raise money for the Special Olym-pics. So, from early on they’re educated on how important it is to help others.”
The finished piece is up for silent auction until Memo-
rial Day on May 25. All of the money from the winning bid will be donated to the Wound-ed Warrior Project, an organi-zation that raises awareness of the needs of military veterans.
When asked how they felt about the finished piece, most of the class offered shy smiles, but a student named Nora of-fered, “It makes me happy, because all the money is go-ing to go to the soldiers.” An-other named Ainsley added, “I like how it helps the soldiers. My dad traded in some of his badges from the Army from Iraq and Afghanistan. He let me put them on the flag.”
The project will be on display at the ZIA gallery in Winnetka where prospective collectors can place their bids in the two weeks leading up to Memorial
Day. The Sacred Heart School is also accepting additional
donations to the Wounded Warrior Project to accompany
whatever the American flag project generates.

Shrimp and gritS diSh enjoyS new twiSt
North Shore Foodie
BY simon murraY
The trophy behind the bar at Bluegrass looks, at first glance, like the ones
handed out to Little League players. But instead of the youth-ful figurine at the top, a pleas-antly plump hog sits there — seemingly at home, surrounded by various bottles of liqueur.
That’s because the chef of Highland Park’s Southern-in-fluenced bastion of Americana cuisine, Brian Bishop, brought home the proverbial bacon after being voted best overall at last year’s North Shore Baconfest for his pork belly “candy.”
Owner Jim Lederer had to
find some way to get it on the menu. Bishop happily obliged, pairing the pork belly with the shrimp and grits that he had been serving for private beer tastings. (In this case, Greenbush Brewing Company’s Black IPA works nicely.) Ideally, every time you add some-thing to the menu — especially one that’s “bigger than it should be for an 85-seat res-taurant,” admits
Bishop — you like to take some-thing off.
“That’s harder to do when you take something off and a dozen people in three days are upset,” notes Bishop with equal parts pride, amusement, and awe at the decade-old restaurant’s un-wavering patronage. Last year they added the crab cakes, Rueben sandwich, and the shrimp and grits. Now, he adds: “We just can’t get it off.”
This will be Bishop’s third year competing at Baconfest. He hopes to have another piece of hardware to complement his trophy — and quite possibly another dish to complement his menu.
Chef Brian Bishop
Bluegrass Shrimp and Grits TOTAL TIMe: 1 hOur, 30 MInuTesserVes: 4-6
24 peeled and deveined shrimp (tails on) 4 oz. salted butter 1 Tbsp. chopped garlic 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley 1 Tbsp. BBQ shrimp spice mix 6 oz. dark stout or porter 1 cup smoked cheddar grits 1/4 cup pork belly candy Scallions for garnish
Begin by sautéing shrimp on high heat in butter. Add immediately to the pan the chopped garlic and parsley. Once the shrimp begin turning opaque and are cooked through about halfway add the spice mix and deglaze with beer. Reduce beer by about half and arrange shrimp over smoked cheddar grits and drizzle some of the sauce over the top. Add pork belly to the center of the plate. Garnish with scallions and enjoy.
BBQ shrimp spice Mix1/3 cup brown sugar 1/8 cup each of kosher salt, ground black pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, dried basil, dried thyme, chili flakes 1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
smoked Cheddar Grits 3 cups of chicken stock
1 cup of grits 1 cup of smoked cheddar cheese (grated) 3 tablespoons salted butter
Combine water and chicken base in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk in the grits slowly and simmer for five minutes. Then add the cheese, whisking gently until melted, and finish by adding butter until melted.
pork Belly “Candy” 1 pound pork belly (diced in inch cubes) ½ cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix pork belly with brown sugar and cayenne pepper till it is well coated. Spread out on sheet pan and place in oven for 25 minutes until fat is par-tially rendered and pork belly is golden brown.
The shrimp and grits dish at Bluegrass now includes pork belly, which is mixed with brown sugar and cayenne pepper. PHOTOGRAPHY BY jOel leRneR

average wedding coSt iS an eye-opener
It’s most probably a side effect of my Type A personality shining through, but I love
a good ranking. When the headline teases “Top Ten” of
most anything, you can bet I’ll click through and read on.
Toward that end, I found recently that TheKnot.com, a popular wedding planning
website, had released the average costs of weddings across the country. It’s at a five-year high: $31,213 before you consider any honeymoon expenses.
When you look at individual line items within the average wedding budget (I was also a Mathlete in high school, so I do stuff like that), nearly every item reflected an increase in 2014. Couples spent the most on cater-ing, musicians — and cake. The average cost of a wedding cake comes in at $555, while catering averages $68 per person. Recep-tion bands topped out at $3,587, and DJs cost an average of $1,124. Costs are higher despite a drop in the average guest list, which fell to 136 guests from 149 guests just five years earlier.
The average Chicago wedding came in far higher than the na-tional average at $50,000-plus. This put our beautiful city in the top five most expensive areas to wed, behind Manhattan ($76,328 average), Long Island, New Jersey, and the Westchester/Hudson Valley area of New York. (Keep in mind, through, that Manhattan also ranked as the most expensive U.S. city to live in, according to Kiplinger. Chicago did not break the top 10 on that list.)
Arkansas and Utah recorded the lowest-cost weddings for 2014, with the average shindig costing $18,031 and $15,257, respectively.
I last wrote about the price of weddings last fall, when every magazine at the grocery store had photos of George Clooney’s Venice wedding to Amal Al-amuddin. The price for 100 guests was estimated between $1.6 million-$14 million.
Celebrity weddings and their associated budgets are fascinat-ing for watchers like me, but a study from Atlanta’s Emory University found that couples who spend less on their wed-dings tend to have longer-lasting marriages than those who splurge.
I was honored to get a re-sponse at that time from Win-netka’s Jo-Ann Jahant with memories of her 1980s wedding in her parents’ Arizona rose garden.
“I was a first-time bride, mar-rying an older man,” Jahant wrote to me. “We had nine guests. I wore a white Haband dress with my mother’s borrowed pearls and an orchid. My father drove me in the golf cart from the front of the house to the back of the house, where the rose garden was. We had the ceremo-ny, and my husband drove me in the golf cart from the back of the house to the front of the house with a ‘just married’ sign on the golf cart.”
They followed the ceremony with dinner on the patio and ice cream cake and honeymooned at the Windmill Inn in the next
town over.“As the years wore on, my
wedding dress (which I wore a lot) got a few stains, so I dyed it purple and wore it for several more years,” Jahant’s email con-tinued. “I didn’t have the burden of storing an expensive, useless wedding dress the rest of my
life.”The groom died seven years
ago, but Jahant said she’ll “always have beautiful memories of my wedding and all the money we saved.”

Skokie Country Club’s paddle hut welcomed more than 100 supporters from the North Shore Board for the North-western Settlement (NUSH) during the organization’s annual “Paddle Palooza,” a night of healthy competition and fundrais-ing.
Guests played paddle tennis on the chilly evening while a disc jockey spun music, and the grill was ablaze with brats and burgers. Funds raised will go toward building a new nature center at the NUSH-supported House in The Wood Camp in Wisconsin.

Lake Forest High School boasts smart boards in every room, a 3D printer, robots
and more — thanks to a founda-tion that has been raising funds since 2002.
“We like to say, in a given day, every student is touched at least five times by one of the Lake Forest High School Foundation grants,” said Mindy Bourne.
She and Leslie O’Connor, both Lake Forest High School graduates, are co-chairwomen of the foundation’s fifth annual luncheon, to be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22 at 300 N. Green Bay Road.
The luncheon raises funds to award grants to high school teachers with what Bourne calls “big dreams the school isn’t able to fund.” Since 2002, the founda-tion has raised nearly $1.5 million to make those dreams come true.
In February, teachers turn in their grant requests. Later an online auction is held featuring
prizes such as parking passes in the senior lot and front-row seats for graduation.
“What sets us apart is the fact that the high school, faculty and administration are so generous with donating to the online auction,” O’Connor said.
Teachers offer special ACT prep classes; the athletic depart-ment invites a father and child to observe a football game from the sidelines.
Next comes the April lun-cheon, followed a week later by a foundation visit to teachers’ classrooms to announce the year’s grant winners.
In May, the foundation will present Pitch Night, a produc-tion fashioned like the TV show “Shark Tank,” a result of a new school program called Innova-tion Incubator.
The program offers students the chance to become entrepre-neurs and work with local busi-nessmen and women.
“The community has rallied around this class,” Bourne said.
Students learn about market-ing, branding, whatever they
need to do to create and success-fully sell a service or product. Joe Pulio, a teacher in the business department, received the grant last year to create the program.
“It’s a unique thing students can add on to their college ap-plication and experience,” O’Connor said.
The students’ projects have been kept secret and will be re-vealed on Pitch Night.
“We try to balance the grants to hit as many different areas, so that every student every day will benefit from something the foundation has done,” O’Connor said. “So many kids have so many different interests.”
The chairwomen said their own children have reaped the benefits of foundation grants.
“My daughter loves the arts. She really enjoyed the kiln,” provided by the foundation, Bourne said.
O’Connor said one of her sons participated in an engineering program using a 3D printer.
“When he went to tour dif-ferent colleges, to be able to say he worked and understood a 3D printer was a great thing,” she said.
The women expect about 250 guests at the luncheon, which they said has become a great way for parents to socialize. For more information about purchasing tickets as well as the online auction, visit http://lfhsfoundation.org/

Real Estate has always been an integral part of my life. My favorite childhood memories include Sunday afternoons spent walking job sites with my father, an architect and developer. I graduated from the University of Illinois and have spent the better part of my career in residential and commercial real estate development. I also have a passion for languages, and spent time in Costa Rica studying Spanish and in Italy completing a Masters in Italian through Middlebury College.
The greatest experience of my life was becoming a mother to my son Connor. He was my inspiration for returning to my first love, working with the

North shore diver dandies reaching lofty status off the boards

SPORTS
Aaron Ach sits in a classroom at Glen-brook South High School. A teacher speaks, instructs. Ach, a senior and one
of the top divers in the state, hears the voice, but he does not listen to it. He visualizes instead.
It is the day of a diving meet, maybe the day before a big diving meet.
He sees himself hurdling near the end of a diving board. The 5-foot-7, 160-pounder also sees himself bouncing off the board and soaring and flipping and twisting and entering a pool of water headfirst.
The mental splash he envisions is a small one. It is a diver’s favorite kind of ending to a difficult plunge.
Ach blinks. He is back, fully focused again in a classroom.
“Sometimes my mind does wander in school,” Ach admits.
Princeton University accepted that mind. Ach — head to pointed toes — will dive for the Tigers.
Visualization for elite divers is critical to their success. It ranks right up there in impor-tance with the physical aspects of the acro-batic sport. Top-flight divers lift weights. They need to develop strong legs. They need to form snare-drum taut cores, for all that flipping, for all that twisting.
Not everything, though, can be created in a weight room.
“What divers also need to have is good space awareness, an awareness of where their bodies are, at all times, during a dive,” says Deerfield High School diving coach Doug Foerch, also a gymnastics coach.
Fearlessness comes in handy, too. A quiver-ing diving board sometimes gets in the way of a descending diver. Picture the back of the seat in a plane getting in the way of a plummeting piece of a luggage from an overhead bin. Ach broke two fingers and a bone in his hand during a dive at his final state meet in February. His back banged a board at another meet.
“It can be a dangerous sport,” Foerch says. “It takes guts. Boards are metal. You hit one, it’s going to hurt you. There’s a lot of pressure when you’re up there, getting ready to dive. If you bounce off the board, and you’re off — just a little off, to the left or to the right — you’re in trouble. That dive, the one you had hoped would get you 7s from judges, gets you 4s or 3s instead.”
Mentally and physically strong prep divers from North Shore schools displayed their considerable talent in front of state-meet judges on the last day of February this year. Five of the 12 finalists, paced by Deerfield senior Sean Scarry, live a hop, skip and a few board lengths from Lake Michigan. Great divers, Great Lake. Scarry finished runner-up (476.45 points), ahead of Loyola Academy sophomore Christopher Canning (third place, 476.2) and Lake Forest High School junior Alex Streightiff (fourth, 458.25). Loyola Academy senior Ryan Nash placed eighth (442.45), and LFHS junior John-Michael Diveris took ninth (424.4).
Ach, seventh at the 2014 state meet, had qualified for the 2015 state meet with a sec-tional score of 590.75, second among all qualifiers to eventual state champion Joey

Cifelli of Marian Catholic. Those injuries to his hand kept him from advancing to the finals session.
Scarry, Canning and Ryan Church (a 2014 Deerfield High School graduate) went 3-4-5 at state last winter. Diveris finished eighth, three spots in front of Nash, whose brother, Michael Nash (a junior diver at Miami University in Ohio), silvered behind Jordan Sacks (New Trier High School, ’12) at the 2012 state meet.
One of the prerequisites for the staging of the state diving finals in recent seasons was not a quorum of qualifiers from North Shore schools. But it sure ap-peared to be.
“Coaching,” Diveris says, refer-ring to one of the reasons for the sustained success of North Shore divers at state meets. “Hardwork-ing athletes, the number of diving
clubs … those are other reasons. Another factor is the support we get from divers who dive for other schools. We see each other all the time, during the high school season, during the club season. We cheer for each other behind the boards at meets and say, ‘Nice job,” or, ‘Great entry.’ It’s such an individual sport, and there’s an appreciation we all have for what a diver goes through before com-peting dives at meets and what a diver goes through during meets.”
Coaching. Diveris is spot-on. Superb diving coaches abound along the North Shore. Foerch, like several other prep diving coaches, guides girls in the fall, boys in the winter. One of his first female charges at Deerfield HS, in 2002, was Christina Loukas, a two-time Olympian (2008, 2012) and three-time state champion (2001-03). New Trier HS coach Bruce Kimball earned a silver
medal (10-meter platform) at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Loyola Academy diving coach
Tony D’Amico earned Illinois Swimming and Diving Associa-tion Coach of the Year honors after the 2014-15 boys season, an award Glenbrook South diving
coach Laura Duffy received after three consecutive seasons (2005-07); three Lake Forest HS divers
(Diveris, Streightiff and 2013 graduate Andrew Marsh) com-bined for five top-10 efforts at the last four state meets under the direction of Scouts coach Pam
Uhrik.Among the top-notch club
diving coaches with North Shore ties are Windy City Diving’s Susan Bromberg, Loukas’ and Diveris’ club coach; Glenbrook Aquatics’ Tony Santucci, a Deer-field HS graduate; and Evanston-based Chicago Dive Club’s Alik Sarkisian, Northwestern Univer-sity’s men’s and women’s coach and the national team coach for Armenia at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
“There are some phenomenal coaches in the area,” says Streigh-tiff, whose path to varsity diving at Lake Forest HS started on a trampoline in a backyard; Alicia Streightiff noticed her son, then an eighth-grader, looked com-fortable near treetops and sug-gested the pursuit of the disci-pline. In only his second year of competitive diving, Streightiff placed 13th at the state meet as
a sophomore.It was not easy, Streightiff ’s
entry into the world of diving. It never is, for any diver. It is a world filled with daredevils, Evel Kniev-els without motorcycles. Dare-devils never bat 1.000. Diving daredevils sustain smacks, count-less smacks, mostly at practice sessions. They represent a painful part of the game, like hand rips in gymnastics, like mat burns in wrestling. A smack is the sound of a dive gone awry. It is the sound of an out-of-control body hitting water, and the result is usually a red badge of discouragement. A smack makes some spectators cringe.
A smack tattoos bodies, no appointment necessary.
“I’ve seen welts after bad dives … red marks, with white lines in the middle of them,” Foerch says.
Loyola Academy’s Christopher Canning
“Faces get injured. I’ve seen bloody noses. I once saw a kid break his nose
during a dive. I’ve seen black eyes. When a diver’s face smacks the water at about the same time as the diver’s
feet do, it’s tough to watch.” — Deerfield High School diving

“Faces get injured. I’ve seen bloody noses. I once saw a kid break his nose during a dive. I’ve seen black eyes. When a diver’s face smacks the water at about the same time as the diver’s feet do, it’s tough to watch.
“It’s important to coach divers properly to avoid serious inju-ries,” he adds.
A sensational dive is a thing of beauty, high and tight and fast and all straight. Divers seek to make sure their shoulders, hips, knee and ankles do not produce a hint of an angle during a plunge. One of smoothest divers around is Loyola Academy’s Canning, a 5-11, 150-pounder. The Wilmette resident and Chicago Dive Club member is as technically sound as they come, an athlete who makes highly difficult dives look layup-vs.-nobody easy. Canning’s kin-esthetic awareness reached a brimming level at an early age, probably a day or two after his first successful step as a toddler. What also separates him from other divers is the rhythm of his hurdle on the boards. Canning’s balanced, measured approach generates the fluidity he needs to execute a clean dive.
Canning finished runner-up at his very first meet, held at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He was 11. He traveled to another state for his next meet, a test against a region’s best. He was still 11. Canning competes regularly at USA Diving meets.
“I’m not a fast learner,” he says. “I’m not a slow learner. I’m a average learner. Challenges in this sport include changing a dive or learning new dives. It’s nice having great coaches in the area. They show you, teach you. They believe you can do the new dive. They assure you everything will be fine.
“One of the most rewarding parts in diving,” he adds, “is doing a new dive at a competition and realizing the hard work paid off.”
Divers, to some, are considered the “punters and kickers” of a swimming and diving team, ath-letes — specialists — who get the “second-class” tag because they typically practice together and away from the significant majority of their teammates, sometimes out of necessity (it’s hard and unwise, after all, to si-multaneously dive and dodge swimmers doing laps). It is an unfair label. Some people forget kickers win football games. Some people forget punters aid de-fenses.
“Our swimming coach [Lake Forest High School’s Cindy Dell] makes sure she includes the divers whenever the team is dis-
cussed,” Diveris says. “She ap-preciates the team’s divers. She knows we score points for the team. Our motto [in the 2014-15 season] was, ‘One team, one dream.’ ”
Lake Forest High School, the team, scored 40 points (12th place) at the state meet in Febru-ary. Streightiff and Diveris com-bined for 15 team points. Divers matter.
Nash was named a team captain of Loyola Academy’s swimming and diving team before the start of the 2014-15 season. The leadership role gave him opportunities to spend time with the team’s swim captain and swimmers. The team’s swim captain and swimmers listened to Nash, respected Nash. It would have been impossible not to respect Nash, if a swimmer had watched what Nash or Canning or any Ramblers diver does during a practice.
“We practice hard, really hard, each day,” says the 5-9, 135-pound Nash, a Kenilworth resi-dent. “Each practice involves a lot of repetition. We review tape of dives with our coach, watching it in super-slow motion at times. Everything has to be precise in this sport. It’s a sport for perfec-tionists.”
It is good to have a bad memory in the sport. Divers dive six times at dual meets, 11 times (if they survive cuts) at bigger meets. A diver’s blown dive early in a meet becomes a disastrous dive if the memory of the blown dive lingers during the next dive. And the one after that. And the one after …
“Attitude, having a positive attitude, is important in diving,” Glenbrook South’s Ach says. “Divers who are mentally tough generally have positive attitudes and look ahead. My coach [Duffy] likes to stress that success at meets comes from being strong mentally, from having the right attitude during each dive. How well you dive in the warm-up [session] means little.
“You have to be willing to think of a big meet as a series of 11 one-dive meets,” he adds.
A big meet for Ach, before he became an eighth-grade student, required the execution of giants and double-leg circles and dis-mounts. He toiled and competed atop gymnastics mats for seven years. Diveris also chalked up in gyms for years, before a torn right labrum (a shoulder injury he suf-fered during a still-rings routine) turned his attention to diving and its tight-knit fraternity.
“I enjoy diving,” Diveris says.

“I definitely like the feeling of flying, the height, the view of the water when I’m up there.”
A focused, unblinking diver stands on a board at a meet, poised and ramrod straight. He is a Buckingham Palace guard, minus the furry, bearskin hat and
red-and-black uniform. The na-tatorium, filled with spectators, is silent. He takes a step, then another, then another. The hurdle to his front-two-and-a-half dive follows. He bounces off the end of the board. He takes off. He flips, spins fast. He enters the pool
headfirst, his frame returning to ramrod-straight form.
The crowd erupts, releasing a mixture of applause and apprecia-tive roars. The diver’s head resur-faces. The reaction from the spectators sounds different to him than it did when he was under-
water. It is clearer now, louder. He glides toward the edge of the pool, eager to hear how the judges graded his aerial show. His artwork.
“People who watch dives at meets and aren’t all that familiar with the sport, see a dive and tend
to think, ‘OK, that looked good,’ ” Foerch says. “They might even think, ‘That looked pretty easy.’ What they don’t realize is what that diver went through, at prac-tices, to get a dive to look like that, to look that good. That diver probably had to overcome 20 to
30 smacks to his face, to the back of his legs, to other parts of his body.
“There’s a lot going on in diving, mentally and physically,” he adds. “It takes a special type of athlete to be a successful diver.”

FAst ForwArd … reAlly FAst
Kelly Maday wears No. 16 for New Trier High School’s girls soccer team. It says so on the 2015 roster. But forget about trying to clearly
see that number during New Trier matches.Maday, a 5-foot-6 junior forward, is a constant
blur on pitches, an all-out sprinter who turns side-line rushes, ball near her feet, into 100-yard dashes. Ever seen a thrown super ball catapult off a brick wall? Maday would probably beat that ball in a race. The tireless Trevian reduces hustling midfield-ers and defenders to helpless statues.
“So fast,” New Trier junior midfielder Bina Saipi says. “Kelly is so fast. She is also so skilled, with great moves. Her shots … they’re bullets.
“Kelly,” she adds, “reads plays well. She reads the whole game well.”
Maday’s ability to execute an abrupt cut to the inside — after a lengthy run — also makes de-fenses reel. “Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!” is an in-ternational distress signal used in radio communi-cation. “Maday! Maday! Maday!” is, unofficially, sweeper- and goalkeeper-speak for, “We’re in trouble! We’re in trouble! We’re in trouble!”
Maday paced last year’s Class 3A state champi-ons (31-1) in assists (22) and ranked second among teammates in goals (19) to then-senior Maddie Mulford’s 25. Maday tallied the goal, an unas-sisted act, in New Trier’s 1-0 defeat of Waubonsie Valley in a state semifinal last spring; the win avenged the Trevians’ lone regular-season loss. She delivered her eighth assist of this spring in the Trevians’ 2-1 defeat of Palatine High School’s visiting Pirates on April 4. Her goal total for the 6-0 Trevs is five. She fed four assists in a 7-0 rout of host Prospect High School on March 19. NT coach Jim Burnside thinks assists are more impor-tant than goals because he always reports a player’s assist total before that player’s goal total. Burnside also thinks highly of Maday.
“Kelly is gaining confidence,” the Trevians’ 19th-year coach says. “Her touch has improved. Her speed … she’s still capable of beating three or four players and setting up her teammates. She’s getting double-teamed this year, triple-teamed.
“Her work ethic,” he adds, “is great. She has a killer instinct … I love that.”
Maday did not fall head over cleats for soccer at first. Eileen Maday wanted her daughter to stick with soccer. When a young Kelly began to lose interest in the sport, Eileen needed a carrot. A young Kelly adored Barbie dolls. Mom dangled a
Barbie doll.Daughter could not resist.“She bribed me,” Kelly Maday recalls with a
laugh.Mother knew best. Maday grew to love soccer,
and it shows each time she zips atop a pitch. She started playing club soccer for FC United as an eight-year-old on a U9 team. Her FC United U16 squad took third at US Youth Soccer nationals last summer and won a Disney Showcase event in Florida. Her current club captured a tournament title in Phoenix in February.
“I love everything about soccer, especially the competitiveness of it,” says Maday, who played in only a handful of matches as a New Trier freshman because of a bone chip in her left knee. “Last year [her sophomore season] was a big jump for me. I didn’t fully understand the aspects [of high school soccer] at the beginning. What I eventually learned was the importance of creating team chemistry during a season.
“We’re creating the same thing this year, with 12 new players,” she adds. “Our midfield is so good. So is our defense. Our forwards … we love to run around. I enjoy the team aspect. I enjoy the chances our team gets to use and show our abilities, and I
love playing for my teammates.”Maday is a steady star, a dangerous offensive
threat. She is also as humble as a sideline ball girl for an elite soccer team. The team is Maday’s thing. Her stats? Her teammates’ footprints are all over most of those numbers, in her mind. Maday is genuinely grateful to be surrounded by talented, team-first colleagues.
“We’re out there working together,” she says. “We’re determined, motivated.”
Last summer, halfway through her prep career, Maday verbally committed to play soccer for the University of Illinois. Last year’s Illini went 10-8-2 overall, 5-6-2 in the Big Ten. New Trier graduate Jenna Miller, a midfielder, played in 17 matches (including 13 as a starter) last fall as a sophomore.
“The Big Ten atmosphere,” Maday says of one of the program’s appeals. “It will be competitive. I know that for sure. The coach [ Janet Rayfield] is great, and I met some of the players on a visit. I’m excited.”
Maday stands near a home sideline after a recent match. She is pressed to come up with activities she would likely choose to pursue if soccer could not be one of them.
“I’d probably try another sport,” she says. “Be a
part of a team. Lacrosse … I’d probably play lacrosse. You get to run around in that sport.
“I love running around.” Notable: DePaul University recruit Saipi and
senior forward/defender Jackie Welch scored the goals in New Trier’s 2-1 win over visiting Palatine last weekend. A throw-in from Welch preceded an assist from senior forward Maggie Armstrong on Saipi’s goal. NT trailed 1-0 at the half. Physical play from Palatine’s Pirates was the story in the first half, Burnside noted. “[Palatine] took it to us,” he said. “Their players were all over us; good teams play that way. We need to make sure our physical level of play is even with our skills. We can’t rely on skills alone. First half, we did not see a whole lot of leadership. Kelly [Maday], Maggie [Arm-strong], Jackie [Welch] and [junior defender] Caroline Smith all stepped up with their leadership in the second half.” University of Maryland recruit Dani Kaufman, a junior, protected the nets for NT. … New Trier’s state title last year was the program’s fourth and first since it won the Class AA cham-pionship 2006. Burnside guided Trevians to all four titles (’03, ’04, ’06, ’14). … Burnside’s 18-year record at the school is 407-66-27 (.814).

retro rAmblerLoyola Academy throwback Cushing is a clear and present danger on baseball diamonds
He’s not exactly your proto-typical first baseman. Loyola Academy senior
Paul Cushing has to stand on his tippy toes to reach 5 feet, 10 inches.
And yet, his coach, Nick Bridich, believes that first base is “a great fit for him.”
Besides the third-year head coach added, “He’s got long arms
— perfect for a first baseman. His arms come down to his shoe tops.”
Cushing also doesn’t quite look the part of a modern-day baseball player. He’s retro.
Most players wear their pant legs down to their shoelaces.
Not Cushing. His maroon stir-rups — with three gold stripes — are in full view.
“I’m old school,” he says. “Tra-ditional.”
It’s been that way for a while now.
It wasn’t that way, when Cushing grew up as a shortstop and contact hitter in the Evanston youth leagues.
“When I was younger, I’d go back and forth,” Cushing said. “Pants up. Pants low. It all de-pended on how I was hitting. When I was in a slump, I’d change things. It’s not that way anymore.
I decided to pick one style and stick with it. I got it going this way all day, every day.”
Teammate Jack Yalowitz loves Cushing’s look — and his attitude.
“That,” said Ya-lowitz, “represents his personality. He’s got that goofy, happy personality.”
But don’t be fooled. Cushing also plays the game with an edge.
“Paul is a differ-ent kind of player. He’s gutsy,” Yalow-itz said. “He’s willing to wear a pitch (get hit by a pitch). He’s willing to take a (ground) ball off his face.
“Gutsy. That’s what he is,” Yalow-itz added. “You saw that same thing with him on the basketball court.”
Cushing also is extremely versatile. After playing shortstop as a f reshman, Mr. Utility played four different positions last spring: second base, third base, left field and right field. He also can catch — making him one of the team’s emer-gency receivers.
Earlier this spring, the vacancy sign went up at first
base. And Cushing, who’s got plenty of game, was game.
“I’ll do whatever the team needs,” he said.
“Who knows?” added Cushing, versatile in his thinking, as well. “I might be playing somewhere else tomorrow.”
Currently, Cushing is playing a bold brand of baseball for the 4-2 Ramblers. The left-handed hitter, who wears a basketball number (23), did plenty of raking in an 11-1 victory over visiting Hersey on April 4. His three hits (3-for-3) and four RBIs repre-
sented a career game.“He gives us good at-bats,” said
Bridich. “He finds ways to win pitches.”
“The thing about Paul is he does everything right way,” the coach added.
But Cushing downplayed his efforts in that five-inning victory over the Huskies.
“The whole team was clicking on offense,” Cushing says. “It felt good to play well. But everybody on our team played well. Not just me.
“Some days, you can’t hit any-thing. And then, there are days like that one, when the pitches come to the plate looking like beach balls,” says Cushing, who sandwiched a two-run double in between a pair of hard-hit, run-scoring singles. “It was an awesome day.”
Before losing 4-3 in eight innings, the Ramblers nearly had an equally awesome game going against host New Trier at Duke Childs Field on April 6.
And Cushing? He was right in the middle of things.
In the top of the eighth, he put the Ramblers ahead 3-2 when he stood his ground and got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded — only to watch NT rally with two unearned runs in the bottom of the frame.
The managerial wheels were turning in this one. NT head coach Mike Napoleon opted to walk LA’s No. 4 hitter, Jacob Frank, and have his ace reliever — and submariner — Andrew Earvolino pitch to Cushing.
“I thought that might happen,” Cushing said. “Jacob is one of our best hitters.
“I just went up there looking to put the ball in play,” he added.
Cushing pulled Earvolino’s first delivery and hooked a line shot foul. The second delivery hit him right smack in the back of the leg, which brought in team-mate Thomas Smart.
“I thought for sure we were going to come out on top,” said Cushing, “especially with the way Jack (Yalowitz) was pitching. He was amazing on the bump.”
Yalowitz took the loss despite allowing no earned runs and only three hits. He finished 7.2 innings with seven strikeouts and zero walks.
“I’ve had better outings,” said Yalowitz. “But I definitely was in
a good zone.“It’s a tough loss to swallow,”
he added. “But we’ll see them again.”
Notable: With temperatures in the low 40’s, it wasn’t an ideal day for baseball. Monday’s game featured eight errors — five by Loyola. … The contest started out as a pitchers’ duel. NT left-hander Ben Brecht went five innings and struck out seven with no walks. He was touched for a run in the top of the second, when Frank and Liam McKeough hit doubles. He also allowed a single to Alex Thomas (2-for-4) in the fourth before striking out the side in the fifth. The 6-foot-7 Brecht, who will pitch at UC-Santa Barbara, worked five strong innings (less than 70 pitches) and allowed one run on three hits with seven strikeouts and no walks. “With the cold, our minds were made up that he was on a pitch count,” said New Trier coach Mike Napoleon. Brecht also was extremely impressive in his season debut, when he fanned 11 over five innings in a 5-3 win over Johnson Central (Kentucky) on March 30 during the team’s spring trip. … The Trevians (3-2) had to make a series of comebacks against Loyola. They were down 1-0 after 4 ½ innings, 2-1 after 6 ½ innings and 3-2 after 7 ½ innings. In the bottom of the eighth, NT sophomore shortstop Clay Czyzynski reached on a throwing error and came home on a sacrifice fly by fellow sophomore Kevin Donahue. Moments later, Scott Hammes, who singled up the middle on a hit-and-run attempt, scored the winning run on a two-base throwing error. The sacrifice fly also was useful to NT in the bottom of the sixth, when Michael Hurley brought in Hammes. Another sophomore, catcher Max Rosenthal, was re-sponsible for the Trevians’ first run, when he singled in Jack Reynolds (infield hit) in the fifth inning. … In LA’s win over Hersey, Yalowitz (2-for-3) hit his first home run of the season — a solo blast in the fourth inning. Frank had a two-run double in the first inning, while McKeough had a run-scoring double in the third. Junior left-hander Neil Udelhofen went four innings (1 run, 2 hits, 7 Ks) to earn his first varsity win.

United they swim‘Hour of power’ fundraiser serves as a timeless tribute to former New trier swimmer and cancer victim ted Mullin
Ellie Adams was in a pool more than 10 years ago, learning the flip turn from Ted Mullin.
She was young, a budding swimmer. She had been struggling with the race move. Frustration screamed from her face.
Mullin’s face dripped patience.“He did not give up on me
until I got it,” recalls Adams, now 18 years old and a senior at New Trier High School. “When I got it, he seemed more excited than I was for myself.”
Mullin died at the age of 22 in 2006. He swam for teams at NTHS and Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. A rare form of cancer, synovial sarcoma, ended his life, ended his opportu-nities to turn aggravated swim-mers into confident ones.
“Ted was kind and empathetic,” says his mother, Mary Henry, of Winnetka.
Ted Mullin was also intense and determined, especially when he was in a lane in a pool and his enemy was time on a natatorium’s scoreboard. Mullin loved to
compete.Time — 60 minutes, to be exact
— is one of the themes of the annual fundraiser for the Ted Mullin Fund. It is called “Hour of Power,” and it will be held at New Trier High School’s West campus in another Northfield on April 25 (two sessions, with the first one starting at 8 a.m.). Organized by the New Trier Swim Club, it is designed to raise awareness and money for sarcoma research. Male and female swimmers (ages 6-18) participate in a continuous relay format (using any stroke) for the entire hour, going all out and leaving it all in the pool.
“It was Ted’s favorite practice set,” Henry says. “He loved swim-ming hard, working hard and giving it his all. The set was em-blematic of him.”
The “Hour of Power” event is not a local one. Far from it. More than 180 other groups (teams and clubs, mostly) across the United States and in several countries, including Sweden and Kuwait, will also stage the event. In nine
years the highly energized gather-ings have raised more than $525,000 ($800,000 overall, when you include direct donations to the Ted Mullin Fund from other fun-draising efforts). Nearly 8,700 athletes are expected to swim laps at “Hour of Power” venues this year.
“It’s a very big deal, and it’s fun to watch,” says Rick Mullin, Ted’s father. “Seeing a high school boy cheering on a six-year-old, on a pool deck that is completely full … it’s quite a scene, quite exciting.
“Ted’s reaction to being diag-nosed was, ‘OK, let’s get it done, let’s do what we have to do,’ ” Rick adds. “That attitude came from the discipline he picked up as a swimmer. His feeling was, ‘If I can handle a [former NTHS swim coach] Mark Onstott practice set, I can handle anything.’ ”
Ted Mullin’s parents were not even aware of the first fundraiser held in their son’s name. The men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs at Carleton College put together the inaugural one shortly after Ted’s death. Other colleges in
Carleton College’s conference (Minnesota Intercollegiate Ath-letic Conference) got involved. So did schools from the New England Small College Athletic Conference; Ted’s younger brother, Evan, at-tended NESCA member school Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
A total of 12 colleges, one high school and two club teams raised a combined $10,000.
“The ‘Hour of Power’ has ex-panded to other sports,” Rick Mullins says. “I heard a college baseball team spent an hour working hard on base running.”
Ted Mullin’s favorite baseball team was the Chicago White Sox. He followed the Chicago Fire soccer team, and he enjoyed rock and alternative music. He com-peted in distance freestyle events on three varsity swim teams at New Trier, serving as a Trevians captain his senior year. Mullin captained two teams at Carleton College.
“Coaches and teammates admired Ted’s qualities, his lead-ership abilities,” Rick Mullins
says. “He was also fun to be around. He had a good sense of humor … a pretty dry one.”
For eight years Ted was a vol-unteer swim coach at Old Willow Club in Glenview. He also coached swim club members in Winnetka and Evanston. One of his charges was distance freesty-ler Christine Ryan (NTHS, ’14), now a freshman swimmer at Georgetown University.
She has already set three GU records.
“Ted was so good at motivating kids to want to be better swim-mers,” says Ryan’s mother, Jennifer Lind, a New Trier Swim Club parent volunteer. “He just didn’t teach swimming; he taught perse-verance. Swimmers learned life lessons from Ted. Kids faced chal-lenges in the pool, and that then helped them take on other chal-lenges, like learning how to drive stick shift, like learning math.
“The ‘Hour of Power’ is a won-derful event,” she adds. “It’s like a big, huge pep rally.”
Mullin learned of his cancer
diagnosis in 2004, more than two years before his death. He co-captained two “Relay for Life” events in 2005 and 2006. He continued to teach starts, strokes, flip turns. He stayed positive. He inspired countless kids in water — and on land.
“His spirit was always so bright, and it was truly infec-tious,” says Adams, who executed flip turns for four NTHS teams. “Knowing I would be coached by Ted, when I was little, really made me want to come to practice rather than feel I had to attend.
“On a bulletin board above my desk is a prayer card I received at Ted’s funeral. It reminds me of the type of person I want to be, and it also makes me feel grateful to have gotten the chance to know Ted.”

In 2012, Susan Trieschmann launched Curt’s Café, a restau-rant in downtown Evanston
dedicated to getting at-risk youth off the streets and into jobs.
She has learned much since then.
“They’ve taught me how to get up every morning, even when things are really, really tough, and how to move forward,” says Tri-eschmann, who grew up in Deer-field. “I always thought I was really good at that, but seeing the struggles they go through, I’ve learned that I can work through more than I probably thought I could.”
Spurred by her work at Restor-ative Justice Evanston, she decided to open the restaurant, where a rotating group of stu-dents learns the ins and outs of food service while also gaining valuable life skills — from man-aging anger to opening bank accounts. The program has graduated more than 60 indi-viduals ages 15 to 24, and Trie-schmann intends for that number to grow since the March addition
of Curt’s Café South (1813 Dempster Street in Evanston), a sister location focused on helping at-risk young women and teen mothers.
After years of speaking with previously incarcerated kids about what they needed most to build a future for themselves, she real-ized the answer was largely unanimous: a job. With a long-running career in the food service industry already established, from overseeing catering operations at
the Pump Room, to co-founding Food for Thought Enterprise, Trieschmann knew she had the expertise required to train others in the restaurant world.
“I believe in breaking bread together,” the 57-year-old says. “I think if you sit and dine with someone and listen to their story, you build a bond that people don’t always realize.
“Also, with food, you’re always creating. A student feels success every time they make a sandwich. These kids haven’t seen much success in their lives, and they haven’t had much hope for getting better. But if they make 10 sand-wiches in a day and don’t mess one of them up, that’s a darn good day.”
Open for breakfast and lunch, Curt’s Café offers an array of items. A Mexican Breakfast Wrap and Tuscan Breakfast Sandwich can be ordered from 7:30 a.m.-10 a.m., while a host of salads (such as the Taco Waca) and sandwiches are served at lunch. Kids can even enjoy a homemade animal cracker with and Heaven and Earth Sandwich, which contains the always popular marshmallow fluff.
Trieschmann, who holds a bach-elor of arts degree in social justice f rom DePaul University, has experienced many r e w a r d i n g moments. Re-cently, she and her students were working at a fun-draiser.
“I ran in late and expected to throw off my coat to help and really hustle, and I saw these two kids just going abo ve and beyond what the job even re-quired,” she says. “They were doing things I didn’t even know we had been able to teach them and serving tables in the most respectful way.
“I couldn’t have been more proud. I went to the counter and got a glass of iced tea and thought, ‘I’ve got nothing to do here.’ They had it.”
Curt’s Café stays in touch with every student after graduation. Many of them land their own apartments, and most of them have jobs and have filled out their first tax return. She says they all come in and have lunch and share
what they’re up to. Says Trieschmann, “When
you’re at Curt’s, you’re part of our family. If I didn’t keep in touch with them, it’d be as if I didn’t keep in touch with my own son or daughter.”
