The North Shore Weekend East, Issue 147

By HOLLy MARIHUGH

For a $35 bus ticket, she got a front-row seat to history.

Fifty years ago, North Shore resident Nina Raskin boarded a chartered bus in Evan-ston for Selma, Ala. after she and her friends and neighbors, all civil rights activists, responded to Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to Americans all over the country to step up and march.

This past Sunday, many who witnessed history that year along with Raskin, 82, gathered on the Village Green in Winnetka to

The recent discovery of West Nile virus in mosquitos from test batches in Glencoe,

Winnetka and Lake County em-phasizes the importance of fight-ing the slender fly.

All but one of the North Shore suburbs are members of tax-funded Mosquito Abatement Districts (MAD). Lake Forest is the exception, as it manages insect control through its Forestry De-partment. It also spends consider-ably less on mosquito manage-ment compared to its neighbors.

Annual mosquito abatement spending:

• Lake Forest: $17,000 Communities covered: Lake

Forest • North Shore MAD: $1.7

millionCommunities covered: Wil-

mette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Northbrook, Glenview, Northfield, Evanston, Morton Grove, Golf, Niles, Skokie and

Lincolnwood.• Southlake MAD: $490,000Communities covered: High-

land Park, Highwood, Deerfield, Bannockburn, and Riverwoods.

• Lake Bluff MAD: $173,200Communities covered: Lake

Bluff plus parts of Shields Town-ship and Libertyville Township.

Just what are Mosquito Abate-ment Districts? They are a unit of government funded by property taxes and overseen by volunteer boards whose members are ap-pointed by county or township leaders.

The Illinois General Assembly enabled residents to create the districts decades ago when mu-nicipalities didn’t want to or didn’t have the money to reduce mos-quitos themselves, said Robert Masini, attorney for Southlake MAD and Lake Bluff MAD. The Southlake district was created in the 1920s; Lake Bluff in the 1950s.

“The statute was set up at a

time when, you can imagine, there was a public health situation from mosquito-borne diseases,” said Masini.

Southlake Mosquito Abatement District

Southlake has a reserve of $1 million, according to the district’s tentative annual budget report.

The Southlake district’s tax levy declined in 2013 to $262,144 from $560,000 the prior year and

then increased more than 90 percent to $500,000 in 2014.

“Southlake had been levying for a number of years at an amount that got its reserves higher than they wanted them to be, so two years ago they dropped the levy,” Masini explained. “Trustees would have liked to have kept the levy down, but if done a second year they would have been caught way too low.”

Both Southlake and Lake Bluff

districts have contracted with Clarke, a St. Charles-based mos-quito management and products company, for many years. Clarke also is a consultant to the City of Lake Forest and a subcontractor for the Lake County Health De-partment, which on July 23 an-nounced that a mosquito batch sampled in Gurnee had tested positive for West Nile virus, the

It’s been a bonanza of late for professional golf on the North Shore. With the BMW Cham-

pionship and the Encompass Championship being contested in Lake Forest and Glenview the past few years, golf fans have been able to watch the best in the game up close.

But what if the three top players in their prime played a local course in a two-day tourna-ment to the delight of a few thou-sand spectators, the biggest names in the sport who ended up winning more than two dozen majors combined?

That’s what happened in 1963 when Arnold Palmer, Jack Nick-laus and Gary Player competed

for a $50,000 purse at Glen Flora Country Club in Waukegan. Imagine Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson gath-ering at Indian Hill for a battle, and you’ll get the idea.

The event was organized by the legendary Mark McCormack, once referred to by Sports Illus-trated as “the most powerful man in sports.” His International Man-agement Group turned those three golfers into wealthy celebri-ties thanks to the power of televi-sion and endorsements.

Recalls Dave Hiner, who boasts almost as many Glen Flora Country Club championships (20) as that trio does majors, “I followed them for the whole event. I remember they hit quite a few three woods when teeing off as Glen Flora’s fairways are very tight.”

At the par-70 course marked by those narrow fairways along with slick, undulating greens, Player’s rounds of 67 and 69 pre-vailed for first place (the course record is 65). On the last day, Nicklaus reached all 18 greens in regulation but could only manage a 70.

When three golfing legends

roamed the fairWays

Hiner played a round with Player before the tournament that weekend.

“He was very kind to me and asked questions about the course, such as how the greens broke, yardage marker accuracy, and the like,” says Hiner, a Glen Flora member since the Eisenhower Administration. “This was a prac-tice round so he hit two or three balls on some holes. He probably was two or three under par.

“Some years later I ran into Mr. Player at another course. We visited briefly, and he talked about having played at Glen Flora and especially remembered our seventh green — which is quite memorable.”

The course today, built in 1911, is much the same as it played a half century ago. That seventh green is as tough as ever, almost like a miniature golf course with its two small hills causing putting havoc. The ninth hole is an uphill dogleg that offers a sharp test for amateurs, and one needs a perfect tee shot over water to reach the par-three 11th.

With today’s great golfers in no need to supplement their

eight-figure income, the chances of a similar match occurring in these parts is as likely as me firing a hole in one. But during one memorable weekend, the best in the game captivated the area. Says Hiner, “It was very exciting for the members of Glen Flora and for the city of Waukegan. I enjoy recalling that time.”

Enjoy the weekend.

first confirmed indicator of the disease’s presence in the county this year.

Clarke manages Southlake’s mosquito management process from start to finish, including survey and mapping; surveil-lance; larval control; and adult control, according to Southlake’s

website.Adult mosquito control, also

referred to as adulticiding, is an additional expense and costs vary depending on the type of treat-ment required. SLMAD’s 2013 contract with Clarke, which was obtained by Highland Park resident Dean Mouscher under the Freedom of Information Act, put communitywide or partial residential neighborhood truck treatments of streets at $74.25 per mile; adulticiding of the Highland Park ravines (5.1 miles) by a handheld device was $2,771 per application.

When additional treatments are called for, the Southlake district draws from its reserve, Masini said.

Lake Bluff Mosquito Abate-ment District

Lake Bluff MAD also con-tracts with Clarke to manage its mosquito program. Masini said Lake Bluff ’s district has a $99,000 reserve.

NSMAD does all of the work itself and has a lab in its North-field offices where it tests mos-

quitos. The agency estimates that 90 percent of its effort is on larval control — killing mos-quito larvae or preventing their ability to grow into adult mos-quitos.

Last summer, NSMAD sprayed adulticide over targeted areas 10 times throughout the season. The agency also uses a barrier treatment on shrubs that will stay in place until it rains for specific public events, such as Glencoe’s movie night or Wilmette’s July 3 celebration. The goal is to make the events safe and more enjoyable for residents, said David Zazra, NSMAD spokesman.

NSMAD reported that mos-quito test pools in Winnetka tested positive for West Nile virus on June 24. West Nile also has been found in Glencoe and Skokie this summer.

“It has really become a pubic health issue,” said Zazra. “It has also become an economic issue because people wouldn’t want to come here without mosquito abatement.”Lake Forest

Lake Forest handles its mos-quito abatement program in-house under the direction of

City Forester Peter Gordon. He said Lake Forest’s mos-

quito program focuses almost exclusively on larval control. The city treats over 8,500 public and private catch basins as well as ditches, detention ponds, right of ways, railway easement and private properties. The city does not spray adult mosquitos based on nuisance complaints — though residents do complain about mosquitos, and many hire private firms to spray their yards. Lake Forest does spray certain public areas for special events such as the Festival & Fireworks on July 4.

Gordon said that when he joined the city staff 25 years ago, crews would drive from street to street spraying insecticides to manage the mosquito popula-tion. Now, using garbage scoot-ers, crews primarily drop mos-quito-killing briquettes in storm drains around town.

“Here the houses are set back, and we’d be lucky if the treat-ment made it to the front door,” he said. “We weren’t killing three fourths of the mosquitos because we weren’t reaching the woods behind the houses or the gardens or the patios in the back yards.”

Gorton Community Center received a commitment from The Grainger Foun-

dation to fund the Greater Good Project, which will provide area nonprofits access to nationally known speakers.

A five-year initiative, the Greater Good Project will bring a noted speaker to Gorton in Lake Forest once a year to conduct an invitation-only coaching and workshop seminar. The goals will be to help local nonprofits improve management skills and increase their ability to provide high-level services.

In addition to the seminar, each speaker will give a public keynote address in Gorton’s newly reno-vated theater.

“I am really excited about this opportunity,” said Andy Duran, Executive Director of LEAD/SpeakUP! Prevention Coalition. “I believe these programs will

have a great impact on the lives and work of leaders in our com-munity.”

Gorton Community Center provides offices for nine non-profit organizations.

“Many nonprofits don’t have the resources to participate in high-quality events where they can gain the knowledge they need to take their services to the next level,” said Gorton Board Presi-dent Mark Ventling. “We are honored The Grainger Founda-tion has made it possible for Gorton to empower these groups through the Greater Good Project.”

The Grainger Foundation, located in Lake Forest, was estab-lished in 1949 by William Wallace Grainger, founder of W.W. Grainger, Inc., North America’s leading broad line supplier of maintenance, repair, and operat-ing products.

mark the 50th Anniversary of King’s historic visit to that place in the heart of the village. Five decades ago, people sat patiently on picnic blankets or in lawn chairs, listening to one of the most profound leaders of the last century talk about why the mostly white lakeside communities should care about civil rights for African Americans.

Raskin’s journey to Selma dates back a bit further than 1965. She recalls visiting Dallas in 1955 as a 21-year-old newlywed and bearing witness to a bus driver telling a young African-American

man, “Go to the back of the bus.” In a quavering voice full of emotion, Raskin demanded of the driver, “And you call yourself an American?” She later reflected, “It was my first face-to-face experi-ence with what it was to be a black person and to be considered in-ferior.”

Raskin also recalls that when she and her husband, Nathaniel, scouted Evanston neighborhoods for their very first house to buy, their realtor told them, “You wouldn’t be happy in northwest Evanston.” At that time in the early 1960s, Jews weren’t welcome in that area on city’s map.

So the Raskins scooped up

their two-year-old daughter, Nancy, and three-week-old baby, Julie, and unloaded their boxes and furniture into a house on the east side of town on the corner of Clinton Place and Ridge Avenue.

There were four movie theaters in Evanston in the late 1950s. Raskin also recalls that while three were integrated, one, the Valencia, was not.

“Black people had to sit in the balcony,” Raskin says.

As a girl from the Bronx, Raskin wasn’t naïve. But the open racism she found in Chicagoland knocked her back a step.

Those moments, frozen in time because of their stark life-defining impact, propelled Raskin to stand at the forefront of local civil rights campaigns.

“It was 1962, and I was active in the League of Women Voters,” Raskin says. “Things were brewing in Evanston and across the country.”

As a member of the League, Raskin went door-to-door con-ducting a survey about attitudes about race. At her side was her two-year-old younger daughter, Julie.

“In those days, people answered their door,” Raskin remembers. “It was a well-designed study, and what turned out was that people were pretty open to school inte-

gration.” The issue that remained a stick-

ler though, was housing.“It was bad enough for Jews,”

Raskin says from her firsthand experience. “But it was much worse for black people. They could only live in a certain area. Land-lords wouldn’t rent to them. Real-tors wouldn’t show houses to them.”

Raskin and her friends, all young married couples of the 1960s, created an organization, North Evanston Neighbors.

“We were devoted to promot-ing fair housing,” Raskin says. “We picketed realtors and held silent vigils and marched.”

They also opened their purses and checkbooks and bought a building.

“We bought an apartment house in southeast Evanston on Sheridan Road to demonstrate that it’s possible for integrated housing to be economically viable,” Raskin says. “We rented units to black families. The white people didn’t move out, and ev-eryone lived there in a complete-ly harmonious way.”

The Selma to Montgomery March took place in March, 1965. Raskin’s friend, Grace Mertz, inspired them to charter a bus bound for Alabama.

“We were mostly housewives

from Evanston,” Raskin says. “There were a few men who were clergy. You know who else was on the bus? Stud Terkel’s wife, Ida.”

They gathered near Raskin’s house at Clinton Place and Ridge Avenue. Husbands and children waved good-bye to the 24 young moms. Women from an African-American Church in Evanston brought the group containers of fried chicken for the long ride.

“On the ride down we trained people how to behave,” Raskin says. “If they were confronted by angry mobs, we said to hold your hands over the back of your neck to protect it.”

After a night spent sleeping in bus seats, the group pulled into St. Jude Educational Institute on the outskirts of Montgomery during the early morning hours.

“It was very exciting because we got to talk to people from all over,” Raskin says.

Indeed, there were about 25,000 marchers gathered that day, waiting in the wet red clay and cueing up to march.

“First we marched through black neighborhoods,” Raskin remembers. “There was such a welcome, and some people joined in.

“Then we marched through white neighborhoods. Either there was silence or such vile

things were said to us.”When the group of young

Evanston mothers finally reached the State Capitol build-ing in Montgomery, they spread a blanket on the green for spec-tators.

“We were very far away from Dr. King, but there was a great feeing of joy that we were part of a big mass of humanity all there for the same purpose,” Raskin says.

After the high of marching, the Evanstonians managed to board the right bus and get out of town, but not without Alabama state troopers accosting them at a rest stop in Birming-ham.

“They told us, ‘Stand up against the wall! You outsiders are just causing trouble!’ Then they left. It was just to frighten us,” Raskin says.

Sobering news hit them like a slap on the face the next morning after another long night of bus riding home.

“Viola Liuzzo had been killed by the Klan,” Raskin remembers. “She was a mother from Detroit, and she’d been a civil rights worker. She was driving march-ers back to Selma and her car was ambushed, and she was shot. We were all young mothers and that could have happened to us.”nina raskin

Winnetka residents raised concerns about the One Winnetka project

at the Plan Commission meeting on July 24 while, for the first time, hearing the commissioners’ opinions about the plan develop-ment.

The Plan Commission is divided over One Winnetka, with the issue of height seem-ingly the biggest obstacle. The meeting examined Stonestreet Partners LLC’s scaled-down proposal which includes a mixed use building featuring rental apartments on the upper floors, underground parking, and retail space on the first and second floors.

While Commissioner Caryn Rosen Adelman voiced ap-provale for the project, Commis-sioner Louise Holland, who has been a Winnetka resident for 45 years, was emphatic in her op-position.

“We must not confuse careful use of our laws and the desire to do the best for our village with the fear that nothing will happen to this property,” Holland said. “I am very much against this project as it stands today.”

Commissioner Jan Bawden was also against the project, noting that according to the newly amended zoning code the building should be four stories at the most.

But Commissioner Dana Fattore Crumley supported the project with some reservations,

noting that the downtown area is in need of revitalization.

“I do see some stagnation here,” she said.

Commissioner Paul Dunn also took an economic view.

“We need rejuvenation. Win-netka needs to make this work.”

Stonestreet submitted a mod-ified proposal at the June 24 plan meeting after the development came under fire when residents objected to the size and scale. Under the current plans the building is six stories high, stand-ing 70 feet tall, with 71 rental apartment units. The building’s floor area is 172,000 square feet with the retail space comprising 40,000 square feet.

During the public comment period residents objected to the size and scale of the project.

James Marran, a resident of neighboring 711 Oak Street, raised concerns about the density and increased traffic from what he described as a “massive struc-ture,” even in its scaled down version.

Residents from neighboring Arbor Vitae also raised concerns about how the operations of the building would impact their quality of life, objecting to po-tential noise, odiferous garbage and commercial traffic.

“Now is the time to think about how this building is going to function in Winnetka,” said Winnetka resident Jane Dear-born. “The day-to-day operations are very important.”

Susan Lundy, a resident of the townhouses on Elm Street, ex-pressed concern about the traffic. And Winnetka resident Gwyn Trindle questioned the project’s public benefit, given that it re-quired the village to cede a portion of Lincoln Avenue to the developer and pay for the cost and maintenance of the parking garage.

In response to residents’ ques-tions, Stonestreet’s engineer George Sisal showed renderings of the East parking lot on Elm Street, where an eight-foot tall wall would screen parked cars, mechanicals and transformers from public view. Sisal noted that all of the garbage would be stored

inside of the building, which would contain some of the noise and smell.

The commissioners will con-tinue this discussion and poten-tially make a recommendation at the next Plan Commission meeting to be held on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m.

rOOm COnversIOn neCessItIesRe-purposing unused areas of a home into functional rooms provides the homeowner many benefits. The immediate benefit of converted rooms is that they provide enjoyment, relaxation and purpose in what was previously wasted space. Long-term, room conversions add value to a home by providing prospective buyers with the maximum efficiency of a home’s floor plan and square footage, as well as the uniqueness of the converted room. Efficiency kitchens, libraries, observatories, home theatres, greenhouses, wine rooms, spa-sauna combos or secondary suites are all distinctive choices for a room conversion that make a home stand apart from others, while simultaneously benefiting the homeowner by providing convenience and a sense of luxury without the hefty price tag. Before beginning any room conversion, however, there are necessary considerations to make before deciding what licensed contractors will be required in order to ensure the new room’s comfort, safety and long-term maintenance. The first consideration is, what room are you converting, and what will this room need? For example, venting an insulated attic room properly is crucial for comfort, safety and household maintenance. Improperly ventilated, an attic conversion will not simply be uncomfortably hot, but it will also be damaging to the overall structure. Likewise, basement and garage conversions must have adequate light and ventilation, as well as be sealed to protect against dampness and moisture. Once you’ve taken the necessities into account, it’s time to start the fun part—building a one-of-a-kind room into your family’s unique house!

“This is the most demanding sport.” —Marcus Wilson

By JOANNA BROWN

Marcus Wilson has been an athlete since ele-mentary school. He started with football,

then joined the gymnastics team at Niles North High School.

But he says without hesitation that training for competitive cheerleading has made his body the strongest it’s ever been.

“This is the most demanding sport,” said Wilson, who will con-tinue to compete with the pri-vately owned ACE Cheer and Dance Center in Lake Bluff as he moves on to college this fall. “We do cardio for endurance during a (cheer) routine that’s two and a half minutes long and strength training to be able to act as a base for the stunts. It’s not like football where you’re on the field and give a few-second burst and then get a break for water and catch your breath.”

The 73 athletes (including nine boys), ages 4-18, who train at ACE practice together, travel together and celebrate their suc-cesses together; all of the teams have been recognized at national competitions. Far from the ste-reotype set forth in classic televi-sion sitcoms, these cheerleaders develop strength, problem-solving skills and more in the gym.

“Cheerleading has totally changed, and what we have today is all about life skills,” said Jeff Siegal, ACE’s cheer program di-rector and co-owner with Justin Boumstein. “We have kids coming together from different schools, boys and girls, to work together, just like in the real world. You don’t have to like everyone, but you work together toward a common goal.

“There’s also social skills, like the lost art of conversation in this age of social media. If you are going to be successful as a team,

you have to ask questions and figure things out.”

Siegel said it’s only been in the last decade that cheerleading has gained popularity on the North Shore, with the majority of local schools fielding competitive teams. It attracts gymnasts, dancers, foot-ball players and soccer players who are looking for a different kind of competitive experience.

Wilson competes alongside Maddie Collins, a senior at Lake Forest High School who started gymnastics classes as soon as she could walk. They both cheered on their high school teams from November through February and worked out with ACE teams at the conclusion of the high school seasons.

Collins said she is in the ACE gym most every day at the begin-ning of the season to learn the choreography and get to know her teammates, who come from Evan-ston, Skokie, Winnetka, Buffalo

Grove, Lake Bluff and most every community in between. She said building trust among team members is as important as build-ing strength.

“If someone comes in with a fear of going up in the air, they have to know that the people under them will catch them,” Collins said. “So the whole team will come stand together under them, and they see that the boys are so strong, and the trust just develops naturally.”

Ella Flusser’s daughters Maddie and Grace, ages 17 and 9, compete with ACE’s teams, and she’s proud of the discipline, sportsmanship, compassion, athleticism and com-mitment that they have developed during their time there. Flusser of Lake Forest said it trickles down to the athletes from the examples set by Siegal and the coaching staff.

“It’s great to win, but it’s better to see the growth out of the kids,”

said Siegal, a Deerfield High School graduate who recalls per-forming horribly during his college cheerleading days. “It’s a performance sport and we need to have that wow factor; if we don’t, we’re doing something wrong.”

There is also trust to be built with parents who cringe at the thought of a child being thrown several feet into the air and caught by their peers. Flusser said the coaches are quick to bench an athlete weakened by injury — even when the decision is un-popular.

“It’s safety first over popularity, and the teams are all taught that you only win when you deserve it,” she said. “Our teams stand to clap when other winners are an-nounced, and when they lose they respond gracefully and work harder to win the next time. These are the things you can use for a lifetime.”

Athletes at ACE Cheer and Dance Center become proficient in a demanding sport.

Musings by Mike Lubow

North Shorts

The word “genius” is similar to “generous.” Not that they rhyme, but still, there’s a

family resemblance. Both start with “gen” and end with “us.”

What caused this musing? Poe the poet. A guy you met in school but hadn’t thought about until just the other night.

A thunderstorm rolled across the North Shore waking you at three in the morning. Trees outside the house shook and scratched your window. In between light-ning flashes, darkness was total.

It had a creepy vibe that seemed to want in. As you lay there ignor-ing the tapping on your window,

you found yourself remembering American Lit and Poe’s famous “The Raven.”

That bird also tapped, wanting in. But, it was just made up, right? Something symbolic that teachers crowed about while you doodled.

Now, for the first time, you ap-preciate how perfectly Poe com-

municated a moody mood by animating it with this metaphor he hoped you’d understand. And you think: “The guy was a genius.”

Then you think, (and by the way, all this thinking is good, because now you’re getting sleepy...) you think, well, maybe he wasn’t.

Geniuses are guys like the Northwestern math professor you hang around with. Guys who paper their walls with equations you’d never understand because you’re no genius.

No, maybe Poe was simply “generous.” He had the big idea that a raven could artfully repre-

sent an unwelcome, implacable presence. Then he simply shared this insight. That doesn’t necessar-ily make him a genius. But the sharing does make him generous.

Genius and generous sound pretty similar, as we said. Poe would’ve liked that. He liked words.

Ireceive a fair amount of mail from readers of this column, and it generally falls into three

categories.

First, there are folks who have read the column and explain to me how the topic has played out in their own lives. I’ve heard

wonderful stories about wed-dings, as well as great advice for the next generation of married couples in this way.

Then comes the constructive criticism. Many readers have taken time to disagree with me, and I enjoy those notes just as much as the complimentary ones. The perspectives you share are insightful and keep me thinking long after I log off my laptop.

And then there is the occa-sional note from a reader who suggests a topic for an upcoming column or who recommends a new resource for my research.

And so it was that I opened my mail last week and found a clipping from the June 30 issue of The New York Times on gradually evolving love. A former colleague and trusted friend reads the paper cover to cover and generously shares with me that which he knows I miss (usually with a self-deprecating sticky note tagged in the corner).

In this case, New York Times reporter John Tierney reported on a study at the University of Texas at Austin that asked stu-dents to rate the romantic appeal of their opposite-sex classmates in order to assess how superficial we can be when we look for po-tential mates.

“At the beginning of the se-mester, the students pretty much agreed on who in their class was the most desirable. But when they were asked again three months later, after spending a semester in a small class together, their judgments varied widely on who was hot and who was not.”

Thus, the psychologists con-cluded, perceptions of mate value change the more that people spend time together.

The idea of a gradually evolv-ing love is a popular theme in books and movies, The New York Times explained; consider couples ranging from Jane Aus-ten’s Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth

Bennet to Adam Sandler and pretty much any of his leading ladies. But I would argue that gradually evolving love also ex-plains the popularity of online dating. Registered adults use the Internet and email to get to know someone before they ever meet in person, often starting a rela-tionship with someone they wouldn’t necessarily approach at a party.

Match.com, one such site, reported in its annual study of singles (not just sites users, but a representative sample done through a professional research firm) that 31 percent of U.S. singles met their last date online, while 25 percent met through a friend and 6 percent met their last date in a bar or club.

The Pew Research Center

broke it down further: 22 percent of 25-34 year olds and 17 percent of 35-44 year olds have used an online dating site or mobile dating app. Of note, 45-54 year olds are just as likely to date online as are 18-24 year olds; 8 percent of 45-54 year olds and 10 percent of 18-24 year olds are online daters.

The system must be a good one, for Match.com to be cele-brating its 20th anniversary this year. And yet, only 5 percent of Americans who are in a marriage or committed relationship say they met their significant other online.

Are you one of the five percent? Tell me about your experience with an email to [email protected]

Man Of Many hats brings new Meaning tO phrase ‘chOp chOp’

North Shore Foodie

By Simon murray

There is a sign on the way to the kitchen of the Wilmette Chop House that purports to break

down the culinary hierarchy into one tyrannical, easy-to-digest maxim.

“The chef is always right,” the sign not so much says as declares in big, bold letters.

But what if that very same chef is also the owner, head waiter, bartender, and food runner? More on that later.

In August of last year, the

Wilmette Chop House opened on the very spot where the bakery that made the first Midwest Girl Scout Cookies was located. Since the opening, they’ve featured succulent choice, prime, and certified-Angus steaks; at least seven sides; daily seafood specials, and two soups every day. The space is cozy — remember, it used to be a bakery — and brings to mind a Parisian bistro abutting a moonlit cobblestone street.

Lawrence Hulseman is the chef of this outfit. Hulseman wears many hats — actually, wears all the hats.

On Tuesdays and Wednes-days, you’ll generally see him by himself, a one-man culinary dynamo. When service ramps up towards the weekends, he employs a handful of waitstaff and chefs to service the 12 tables inside and five outside. One helper is his 17-year-old son, who has ambitions to become a chef like his father.

The phone rings. Hulseman hustles to get it.

“What could I do for you?” he asks rhetorically. “I can have

champagne waiting for you or make a specific dessert for you or an individual plate — I’m happy to do that as well.”

He gets off the line, intimat-ing it was a call concerning an anniversary meal. They may well order the Double-Cut Smoked Pork Chop, which is certainly a decadent treat for a special occasion.

“It’s really succulent. It’s got a lot of great flavor by itself, but this pork chop is smoked for such a long period of time that it has a holiday ham quality to it,” notes Hulseman. “It falls right off the bone. When you’re doing it with the bananas, you’ve got sweet and smokiness together. It’s just a great combination.”

Sweetness and smokiness is an apt way to describe Hulse-man, as he disappears, almost in a cloud of smoke, to tend to something in the kitchen. The magician pulling the levers and ringing the bells, making food appear with a smile and a wink.

Wilmette Chop House is located at 1162 Wilmette Ave in Wilmette. Call 847-278-2462 for reservations.

TOTAL TIME: 6 hOurs sErvEs: 1-2

1 pound pork chop2 teaspoons brown sugar2 teaspoons unsalted butter1 plantain 1 ounce brandy

Sautée all ingredients to desired coloring, then carefully pour in brandy to flame — burning off alcohol. Pour sauce over grilled double-cut pork chop (after smoking it, if possible for six hours) and serve pork fully cooked.

BY BILL MCLEAN, [email protected]

All thAt JAzzyHighland Park’s Kerber continues to shine on international stage,

collects four silver medals at the Pan American Games

Jasmine “Jazzy” Kerber’s eyes probably grew to the size of dinner plates. The impressionable Highland

Park resident was four years old at the time, a spectator at her first rhythmic gymnastics perfor-mance. Girls executed unique moves to music in Northbrook Court, leaping and pirouetting and dancing.

Some of the gymnasts ma-nipulated a ribbon or a hoop during their routines, others a ball or a pair of clubs. Kerber, mesmerized, watched. She wanted to try that. She wanted the opportunity to move specta-tors, to widen eyes.

“I got really interested in rhythmic gymnastics that day,” Kerber, now a recent 2015 High-land Park High School graduate, recalls. “I liked the music, the dance leotards … I started [that year] at the North Shore Rhyth-mic Gymnastics Center [in Deerfield] and stuck with it. It was a sport that fit me the best.”

Some 14 years later, Kerber traveled to Toronto for the Pan American Games. Spectators watched her last month. Specta-tors also watched her receive four silver medals and a bronze medal in rhythmic gymnastics. The member of the USA delegation finished runner-up in the all-around (62.2 points) to Laura Zeng (64.575), a Libertyville High School sophomore-to-be

and another North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics Center trainee. The 5-foot-5 Kerber, 18, also earned silver in three of the four apparatus segments (hoops, ball, ribbon) and bronze in the clubs category.

“It was exciting, definitely exciting, competing in a multi-sport meet like that,” Kerber says of the qua-drennial gathering for athletes from the nations of the Americas. “It was a different feeling, helping Team USA add to its medal count. It was an interesting experience, pretty cool.”

Team USA ended up topping the Pan Am Games field in total medals (265) and gold medals (103), ahead of Canada (217, 78) and Brazil (141, 41). The Games started on July 10 and ended on July 26.

Kerber began performing on international stages at the age of 12, capturing bronze in the all-around at a tournament in Calais, a town in northern France. Her talent and passport have flown to Ukraine and Turkey and Por-tugal, among other countries. Before heading to Germany in September to compete for a third time at the World Champion-ships, Kerber plans to vie for medals at World Cup meets in Bulgaria and Russia.

“I’m grateful for the multiple people who have helped me for

a l l these years … 14 y e a r s now,” she says, alluding to North S h o r e R h y t h m i c Gymnastics C e n t e r ( N S R G C ) owner and head coach N a t a l i e “ N a t a s h a ” Klimouk, a former rhyth-mic gymnas-

tics coach of the Belarus Na-tional Team, and NSRGC coaches Angelina Yovcheva, Dani Takova and Irina Korosteleva.

“Natasha,” Kerber adds, “has a ton of knowledge, knows the

process of raising gymnasts for top competitions, and she knows all about devel-oping a gymnast’s tech-nique and love for the sport.”Typically, during her years

at Highland Park High School, Kerber trained for four hours a day six days a week. In the

summers, like the temperatures outside, her hours at NSRGC increased. There’s a lot going on in the sport, often all at once: the need to be precise, strong, flexi-ble, explosive, graceful, balanced. Elite rhythmic gymnasts need to

juggle more than just clubs. Much more.

“What people usually notice first about a rhythmic gymnast is her flexibility,” says Kerber, rhythmic all-around runner-up to Zeng at the USA Gymnastics Championships in June. “But you also have to control that flexibil-ity, which requires strength. It takes energy, timing, the ability to stay calm. You can’t possibly think about everything all at once when you’re out there, and that’s why practicing for all those hours is important. Everything we do in a routine has to become a habit.”

Kerber and Zeng met each other four years ago at NSRGC, their second home, their launch-ing pad to success in times zones all over the world. Zeng has been a big Jazzy Kerber fan since Day One. Some rhythmic gymnasts turn heads with their athleticism, others with their magnetism. The discipline is part sport, part art. It combines elements of gym-nastics, ballet and dance. Kerber’s primary strength in rhythmic gymnastics doesn’t turn heads.

It yanks them.“I love watching Jazzy perform

because she’s so elegant,” Zeng says. “Her turns … they’re all elegant, so graceful. She moti-vates me when I watch her. She motivates me to work harder. Training next to her, it’s a great privilege.”

Kerber applied for admission to Stanford University and was

accepted but chose to take a gap year, meaning she won’t enroll at the school until the fall of 2016. She will hit the mats full-time until then, though she will find time to travel between presti-gious meets and hone her grasp of Russian, a language she started to learn in the fifth grade. Natives of Russia and other Eastern Eu-ropean countries have won more collective medals at Rhythmic gymnastics World Champion-ships than any other region in the world has since the 1960s.

Not too long ago, after a long day at a meet, Kerber and Zeng rested and talked. The topic of world religions surfaced. Zeng posed some questions. Kerber had some answers, plus views, plus a captive audience of one.

“Jazzy,” Zeng says, “is not just kind and considerate. She is also intelligent. I love her intelligence. She started talking about Chris-tianity and Judaism and other religions. And passages in the Bible. It turned into a lecture … a lecture I enjoyed. I took notes that night, on my computer. I learned so much from her that night.”

Perfect fitWith her plethora of skills and leadership abilities, Lake Forest’s

Patlovich is a natural at the setter position

The University of New Hampshire girls T-shirt, extra small, rests in a drawer

in Emma Patlovich’s room, mostly taking up space. It not longer fits the Lake Bluff resident and junior-to-be volleyball player at Lake Forest High School. She was a 5-foot-5 seventh-grader at the point of purchase, a little sister joining big brother Jack on one of his college visits.

Little sister, probably still growing, is a 5-11 setter today, an impact player for a highly suc-cessful Sky High club volleyball team (16 Red), a Scouts varsity player since her freshman year and a … University of New Hampshire volleyball recruit. Her high school career hadn’t even reached the halfway mark when Patlovich verbally committed to set up hitters for the UNH Wild-cats — the two-time reigning America East Conference cham-pions — last spring, near the end of the second semester of her sophomore year.

“They’re calling me ‘Baby ’Cat,’ ” Patlovich, the first Class of 2017 recruit to commit to the Wildcats’ women’s volleyball program, says. “I attended a [weekend] camp there this summer. I met the 2016 recruits, the incoming freshmen, everybody. On my visit [last spring], I met with the coaches and watched a practice. The players made it seem like they’d known me for years.

“My dad [Mike] was shocked when I made my decision because I had made it so early. He was a walk-on baseball player at Miami of Ohio. I told him, ‘This is normal; athletes are making their college decisions earlier than ever.’ ”

It is not normal for a prospec-tive athlete to have been courted by Division I college coaches after deciding to try a sport as an eighth-grader. Late. That’s late, way late in the game. But that’s when Emma Patlovich’s volley-ball story started. She was a soccer center-midfielder and a basket-ball guard when she and two of her soccer friends, Ashley Wil-

liams and Claire Torkelson, headed to Vernon Hills for a Sky High volleyball season in the 13s division, under the guidance of club coach Jake Conrad. Patlov-ich liked to distribute soccer balls and pass basketballs, so, natu-rally, she felt quite comfortable lofting sets in her new sport.

“So many times, in basketball, I heard people shout, ‘Shoot, Emma, shoot!’ ” Patlovich recalls. “I guess I passed too much. But I loved passing in soccer and in basketball, and now I love setting for my hitters in volleyball.”

Her sets for Sky High’s 16 Red spikers this summer were dead-on, William-Tell-apple-shot ac-curate. Her Crystal Lake-based club (16 Red trains in Lake Bar-rington) finished third at the USA Volleyball National Cham-pionships in New Orleans June 23-July 2. She made the Division All-Tournament Team in The Big Easy. Weeks earlier, in the Windy City national qualifier held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Patlovich and her club mates went 9-0, dropping nary a set. Before that, 16 Red earned runner-up honors at the Mizuno Presidents’ Day Challenge at one of three Chicagoland sites in February, with Patlovich emerg-ing as an all-tournament pick.

“Emma was a good player a year ago,” Sky High executive director and 18 Black coach Scott Harris says. “Now she’s twice player she was then. She’s a great athlete, passionate about the sport, determined. She anticipates well. She connects well with her hitters. Her consistency, her ac-curacy … those qualities make her an effective setter. Some setters get it quicker than other setters get it. Emma picked up setting quickly, and she grew confident along the way.

“Great kid, great family,” he adds.

Steven Bonnem, 16 Red coach, saw Patlovich play here and there for Sky High’s 15 Black team a year ago. He, too, noticed a dif-ferent Emma Patlovich in 2015, a clear leader — what setters have

to be at practices, in huddles, during points, in between points.

“Emma knows where her hitters are, knows exactly where to put the ball for each of them,” Bonnem says. “Her hitters love her, love her accuracy.”

Some hitters like high sets,

others quick, medium deliveries. Patlovich makes sure she knows the preferences of her hitters and is quick to huddle, in mid-match, with a hitter if a connection had appeared to be a little off.

“Different speeds, different heights,” Patlovich, owner of soft

hands and a 9-foot-5 approach touch, says of what she has to process before shoving a set to one of her targets. “It can be tricky. I like it when a hitter gives me feedback after a match or right after a point. It helps me. It helps the team. That’s what I love

so much about volleyball, how it’s such a team sport. You need good team chemistry, and our club team had that, especially at Mc-Cormick Place at that qualifier.”

The 16 Red crew thumped its opponents there, leaving no doubt it deserved to represent the region at nationals in Louisiana. Wood-stock High School junior-to-be and 16 Red libero Georgia Wicker, a former setter, enjoyed witnessing the roles Patlovich fulfilled in each of the team’s nine straight-set victories.

“Awesome. She was awesome,” Wicker says. “You should have seen her in our last match, the way she was picking everybody up, the way she was pumping everybody up. She was excited. She got us excited. Emma is an amazing setter, an amazing leader, and her blocking has improved. She takes charge, lets everybody know what to do, runs the court. It’s easy to tell, when she’s playing, she’s a leader.”

New Lake Forest High School volleyball coach Molly Grzesik, a middle hitter when she played for Indiana University’s club team, inherits Patlovich, the Scouts’ returning setter and the team’s leader in aces last fall. Good teams need eager, unpaid coaches on the floor. Patlovich is such a coach. Grzesik gets to rely on such a coach for two full seasons.

“She has a lot of energy,” Pat-lovich says of the former assistant girls and boys volleyball coach at Deerfield High School. “We’re excited about her and about the season.”

Back to Jack, Emma’s brother. He chose to attend the Univer-sity of Dayton, not the Univer-sity of New Hampshire. Emma got a glimpse of the UNH campus three years ago, as well as that small navy-and-white UNH T-shirt. She wears other UNH threads these days, fitting ones. She can’t wait to wear a UNH Wildcats volleyball uniform in 2017.

Patlovich is set. The setter’s future is all set.

tAke A bow, Mr. cArothersNew Trier grad steered Yale rowing team to first-ever title

at historic Henley Royal Regatta

Eight of Chris Carothers’ best friends in the world threw him as far and as high as they could in

England last month. Some friends, huh? The 2012 New Trier High School graduate and senior-to-be at Yale University flipped horizontally on the way up, a 5-foot-8, 125-pounder wonder-ing, in mid-toss, How is this going to end?

“I felt a ton of emotions going through me when I was up there,” Carothers, a Kenilworth resident and economics major, recalls. “I remember flying high and twisting and twisting some more.”

Carothers survived the har-rowing ordeal that wasn’t really a harrowing ordeal, splashing down in the body of water where he and his favorite octet had just made Yale rowing history. Carothers, a coxswain (steers-man in the stern of the boat), and the others had stunned heavily favored and five-time reigning national champion University of Washington by 2 ¼ lengths in the men’s eight final (Ladies’ Challenge Plate divi-sion) at the Henley Royal Regatta on July 5.

A varsity eight boat of Yale Bulldogs had never oared to victory at the storied regatta that was first held in 1839.

“It was a perfectly executed race,” Carothers says. “The guys trusted each other. There was a point in the [2,150-meter] race, about halfway, where I knew we could break Washington. We did that. It was incredibly satisfying at the finish, knowing all of our hard work had paid off. The guys in the boat … we all put school first. We all have a lot on our plates when we’re in school. But we find time to practice hard and train hard for 25-30 hours each week.”

The win avenged a loss to Washington in a national semi-final weeks earlier, and it was preceded by defeats of Ruderclub Germania Düsseldorf von 1904 in a quarterfinal on July 3 and of

England’s Leander Club in a semifinal on July 4. The nine elated Ivy Leaguers approached their coach, Steve Gladstone, following the Henley Royal Regatta final and noticed some-thing special, something …

“… kind of rare,” Carothers says. “He had a bright smile going. He then paused for a second or two and said, ‘Unbe-lievable job, guys. I love you guys.’ It was an incredible moment for all of us.”

None of the nine men was a Yale senior in 2014-15. None of the nine men assumes he won’t have to work hard to get the nod to row for the crew next spring.

They all know how strong this year’s freshman class is expected to be.

When Carothers was a fresh-man at NTHS, in the fall of 2008, he was a 5-foot, 100-pounder, a quick and shifty kid. New Trier’s crew club had fall and spring seasons then. Caroth-ers also enjoyed lacrosse. He did crew in the fall, ran around and through bigger and taller lacrosse players as a slippery attackman in the spring. His sophomore year arrived. He put away his lax stick, for good.

“A family friend was a cox-swain at Dartmouth,” Carothers says. “He sat down with me, and

we talked. I found out later I had a knack for that position.”

In the summer of 2010, before his junior year at NTHS, Carothers made the U.S. Junior Men’s Development Team. So did five other coxswains. The experience woke him up in a hurry, and he didn’t need a splash of lake water to the face to realize what he had to do to become an effective coxswain, or “the coach in the boat.” Caroth-ers was shy and timid next to his fellow coxswains. A shy and a timid coxswain in a boat is akin to a shy and timid quarterback in a huddle. Uninspiring.

“That hurt me, the way I came

across to those around me,” Carothers admits. “It was a huge learning experience. It was also a tough experience.”

Carothers made the national development team the following summer. He was a different cox-swain, a completely different coxswain. He oozed confidence. He took charge. He inspired. The smallest guy in the boat got the attention of the bigger guys in the boat. That’s what effective coxswains do. That’s what Chris Carothers did. The former la-crosse attackman was now a young man interested in doing whatever he could to make sure his mates attacked races.

“A coxswain has a lot of re-sponsibilities,” Hubert Trzybin-ski, a Yale senior-to-be and the Bulldogs’ 2016 varsity eight captain, says. “He makes calls, orders shifts, has to be aware of race strategies, has to implement those strategies and communi-cate strategies and advice to all kinds of characters in the boat, some outgoing and loud, others calm. Chris does a good job of getting a feel for the crew, of recognizing our moods and then, if necessary, of coming up with a solution to a challenge in the middle of a race.

“He’s a very good listener, with a strategic mind,” the native of Germany adds. “Chris is a calm, humble, modest guy. He’s also self-driven and very bal-anced, very level. Sometimes there’s tension in the boat, and he knows what to say to bring poise to the boat.”

Any day spent outdoors is a grand day for Carothers. Among his fondest memories before the start of his Yale days were trips to Cap Cod in the summers, boating and fishing and playing tennis and golf. A minute spent indoors was a minute too many.

“I loved being outside, in general, especially with members of my family,” Carothers says. “I still do. I also love meeting up with f riends, being social. Summers are great. Summers are great after grueling winters, and winters in New Haven, Con-necticut, are as grueling as they are in Chicago.”

Two times this past spring and once in the early summer, Carothers, thanks to a tradition and eight happy oarsmen, found himself airborne above water, the brief flight and ensuing plunge signifying a significant rowing victory, the sport’s equivalent of happy hoopsters snipping a net off a rim after a championship game.

“Chris,” Trzybinski notes, “is very photogenic when he’s in the air. I’ve seen pictures of him in the air after races. It’s like he was born to be a coxswain.”

ex-hPhs stArs to direct locAl hooPs clinic

Playing basketball at a high level is all about building “sweat equity.”

“You’ve got to work at it,” Josh Bartelstein says. “You’ve got to put in the time.

“And I think that Chris (Wro-blewski) and I are two good examples of the that,” adds Bar-telstein.

Which is one of the reasons why Bartelstein and Wroblews-ki are teaming up — again — and conducting their inaugural Alumni Hoop Clinic.

This “interactive basketball boot camp” will feature collegiate drills and skill development.

“All players will take home a packet of drills to work on,” says Bartelstein.

Here’s the who, when and where:

• Grades 3-4: Aug. 22 (1-2:30 p.m.) at Highland Park High School.

• Grades 5-6: Aug. 22 (3-5 p.m.) at HPHS.

• Grades 7-8: Aug. 23 (10 a.m.-12 noon) at HPHS.

• Grades 9-12: Aug. 23 (1-3 p.m.) at Highwood Rec Center.

“We’ve been talking about doing this for a while,” Bartel-stein says. “Our goal is to do it every year.”

Wroblewski and Bartelstein have been basketball buddies since kindergarten. During their junior and senior seasons, HPHS claimed back-to-back regional

titles. The Giants finished with 23 wins in 2006-07. They won 22 the next season.

After graduating in 2008, Wroblewski went on to star at Cornell University, earning Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors in 2009 and finishing his career with 1,202 points and 189 three-pointers. His free-throw percentage is eighth best in school history (.823). He also was a two-time team captain and Academic All-American.

Bartelstein (HPHS, ’08) played his college ball at the University of Michigan. The guard played in three NCAA tournaments and was the captain of the 2013 Final Four team. He was a member of the Big Ten

championship team in 2012. And he was a two-time Big Ten Academic All-American.

The two players, who now live and work in Chicago, have stayed connected with HP bas-ketball. This past winter, Wro-blewski coached the eighth-grade boys feeder team. Bartelstein was the seventh-grade feeder coach.

“Doing this is a no-brainer. People in this community know our names and know we love basketball,” says Bartelstein. “It’s a chance to give back.”

SUNDAY BREAKFAST


By Simon murray

Cherubs spin lazily while suspended from the ceiling at Cafe Buon-giorno in Winnetka.

What was once a decoration for Valentine’s Day has now become a lasting staple, chubby winged ornaments grinning from cheek to cheek.

“Children love them,” says our server. Natural light pours in from the almost floor-to-ceiling windows as I take a seat across from Barbara Stark-Nemon.

The speech-language patholo-gist turned author is at the tail end of a book tour for her first novel.

“I haven’t been home for more than 72 hours since April,” Stark-Nemon tells me.

But you won’t find her com-plaining, even with what is a comparatively punishing sched-ule. She enjoys touring, with its barnstorming, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants mentality.

Stark-Nemon orders a coffee and eggs and prosciutto. That last one especially “is so not kosher,” says the Jewish author, laughing. “Oh well!”

On Oct. 14, Stark-Nemon will be back in Illinois for Even in Darkness: Family Histories, Family Mysteries . . . Legacy of the Holo-caust on the Generations at Am Shalom in Glencoe. In coopera-tion with the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center,

Stark-Nemon will share her fam-ily’s splintered history, told through the semi-fictional account in her novel.

“Even in Darkness” takes its name from the Book of Psalms, the third section of the Old Tes-tament. “Even in darkness light dawns,” is its inspirational message; one that resonates throughout the novel about Stark-Nemon’s great aunt in World War II Germany.

Stark-Nemon’s grandfather was a vivid storyteller. As a young girl, she would sit captivated by his stories. Most were of the Old World. Many had to do with his sister, Kläre Kohler, who visited the United States when Stark-Nemon was only five. Kläre, unlike the rest of the family, still spoke only German.

Says Stark-Nemon, “Her life was a little mysterious — like what was she doing there?”

While most of the family was able to escape Germany, settling in Belgium, England, and the U.S., Kläre made the harrowing choice to stay. Her husband was ill with severe palsy and being sick meant not being able to secure an affidavit that would allow him to leave the country. Kläre stood by him, in the process witnessing the explosion of anti Semitism that culminated with the SS eventually coming for her.

Kläre was sent to the There-sienstadt Ghetto, a concentration camp in what is now the Czech

Republic. Like many of the Nazi concentration camps, the en-trance was marked by the words “Arbeit macht frei” (work makes you free). While the slogan was a false promise, Kläre found work as a massage therapist. The posi-tion allowed her to survive day-to-day: avoiding the trains that were leaving daily for Auschwitz. In other words, certain doom.

Leo Baeck, the German rab-binical scholar, “called her the angel of Theresienstadt because she was so inspirational to other people,” says Stark-Nemon.

From darkness, a relationship with a commandant blossomed. But true happiness would eventu-ally come after liberation, in as unconventional of a life as Kläre could have ever expected: sharing the second half of her life with a Catholic priest half her age.

Even through all of the hard-ships she faced — loss of loved

ones, separated family members, surviving a concentration

camp — “she never stopped b e i n g Jewish,” n o t e s

S t a r k -N e m o n .

Only a handful of their friends in the sleepy town of Dülken where they lived knew she was Jewish.

“There was such an aura around the two of them,” Stak-Nemon recalls. “They never had a bad day.”

Writing about their story was always at the top of Stark-Nemon’s bucket list. Finally, she was able to dedicate the neces-sary time. It was a labor of love. The book required 15 years of research: traveling to Germany several times, the Czech Repub-lic to visit Theresienstadt, Israel where Kläre’s son had escaped to.

Research, indeed, abounds in this novel. The colossal amount of historic and local reference

does nothing to lessen the im-mediacy of the moment: Stark-Nemon writes with an intimate elegance, as if she, herself, had stood witness to the fracturing of her extended family to the far corners of the globe. As if she was there at Theresienstadt when hope was in as short supply as meager meal rations. As if she was there to witness the newfound love brought to-gether by tragedy, firsthand.

When Kläre passed away, Stark-Nemon received her per-sonal effects. Included were letters to her son in Israel written on bread wrappings (letters feature prominently in the novel), work papers, and her great aunt’s faded yellow star.

If she were sitting under the lackadaisical spin of a cherub today, Kläre would’ve approved of Stark-Nemon’s meal.

“This is in honor of her, because she made a killer hol-landaise sauce and loved schink-en (ham).”

Stark-Nemon recalls her great aunt’s vitality; her pro-found appreciation and lust for life. In that respect, this isn’t another Holocaust story: a flower, taken in its prime, slowly withering in a dark room. This is a story of hope in the face of atrocity.

Says Stark-Nemon, “This transcends — it’s a model for how you can live through trauma and not be defeated by it.”

A HOLOCAUST NOVEL BRIMS WITH HOPE

“This transcends — it’s a model for how you can live through trauma

and not be defeated by it.”
