A fter 24 years, a Winnetka institution will close its doors.

O’Neil’s Restaurant, 1003 Green Bay Road, will cease oper-ating on Jan. 1 2016. “It’s been a great run, but its time for someone else to come in with a new concept,” said O’Neil’s owner Patrick O’Neil.

O’Neil said he plans to focus on his other two Winnetka res-taurants – Trifecta Grille and Little Ricky’s Rib Joint – both of which he said are thriving.

“We tried remodeling O’Neil’s and changing the menu but after [24] years it just ran out of gas. And the other two [restaurants] are rocking,” O’Neil said, adding that sales had stayed flat at O’Neil’s despite the changes.

Aside from the British spelling for “specter,” meaning ghost, what is

SPECTRE? It’s not new. In fact we’ve seen it—them—before; the master villain Franz Ober-hauser (played by Christoph Waltz) tells Bond (in a shadowy dreamlike sequence reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut): “You came across me so many times, yet you never saw me. What took you so long?”

What took us so long, indeed? SPECTRE’s machinations are grand. Like the stylized political cartoons depicting early 20th century monopolies, their shadowy tentacles slip through governments, strangle combat-ants, and envelop the world over.

The acronym stands for the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion: a global terrorist organization that plays a major role in the Bond stories; first introduced in 1959 by the novel-ist Ian Fleming in the novel Thunderball.

We’ve seen SPECTRE on-screen before, and many Bond villains count themselves as (card-carrying?) members. There’s Dr. No (Dr. No), Emilio Largo (Thunderball) and, of course, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (From Russia With Love, Thun-derball, and Diamonds Are Forever, to name a few). Blofeld, you may remember, is the bald-

headed criminal mastermind with a scar over his eye and a fluffy white cat in his lap. Ring any bells? In recent years, he’s been recalibrated in pop culture as the innocuous, (if not endear-ing) rogue Dr. Evil in Austin Powers. In fact, and this is true, after For Your Eyes Only—where Bond unceremoniously drops him down a chimney stack before the credits even roll—the filmmakers lost the rights to the character. (To add insult to, ahem, injury—he even goes unnamed in that last movie.)

A legal battle lasting for more than 50 years is the reason; with MGM Studios and the Broc-coli family finally acquiring all of the rights to the 007 franchise f rom screenwriter Kevin McClory and his estate in recent years.

Where does that leave us? Well, more uncertain then we’d like. We’re left with a rebooted franchise (starting with 2006’s Casino Royale); with a moody, brooding James Bond; played by a moody, brooding British actor who would rather slit his own wrists with glass shards—ouch—than play the titular role again.

Enter John Logan. You’d be forgiven for not knowing the name; but the Northwestern University alum has put pen to paper for a wide range of films (Gladiator, The Aviator, Hugo), TV shows (Penny Dreadful), and

GLENCOE–It’s not everyday that a senior rabbi of a prominent North Shore

congregation decides to become an Uber driver, but Steven Stark Lowenstein was looking for a new experience.

“I had no idea what it would yield and what the message was supposed to be,” said Lowenstein, who is the senior rabbi at the reform congregation Am Shalom in Glencoe. He had used the popular car service company on occasion and marveled at how Uber was changing how people interact with each other and do business.

“To me it was a timely busi-ness and an opportunity to explore what is happening in the world,” he explained.

He met all sorts of different people as an Uber driver, kept a journal on his smart phone after every ride, and was amazed by the company’s technology. He ulti-mately decided to use the experi-ence in his sermon on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.

“As clergy we can find holiness in lots of different ways. There were some moments as an Uber driver I connected with people in a powerful way that doesn’t always happen everyday,” he said. Low-enstein hopes to inspire others to try something completely out of the box, noting that meaning can be found in many different expe-riences.

And he may consider driving for Uber again and possibly vid-eotaping the experience.

plays (Red) that you would rec-ognize. He’s also the co-writer of not one, but two of the newest, hardest hitting films in the James Bond series: Skyfall and Spectre.

It’s hard to imagine many blockbuster action-movie screenwriters having a bust of Shakespeare in their office. (Logan does.) Or being able to quote any line from Diamonds Are Forever. (Logan can do that, too.) He saw that movie when he was 10 years old, and ever since he’s counted himself a fan of the British Secret Service agent. But his creative tenden-cies have always gravitated closer toward The Bard. He was eight when his Belfast-born father, a naval architect who had a deep appreciation for litera-ture, said to him one day, “Come and watch this movie with me on TV. It’s got ghosts and sword fights.”

That movie was Hamlet.“If you want to be a success-

ful screenwriter, here’s the secret… you have to read Hamlet,” Logan said in a British Academy of Film and Television Arts lecture podcast. “And you have to read it again, and you have to read it until you under-stand every word.”

He trafficked in his own advice. After graduating from Northwestern in 1983, Logan had no money and no job pros-pects. When he found work, it was shelving books at the Uni-versity’s Law Library. Every morning he would work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. shelving books. When he wasn’t shelving, he was reading Shakespeare, writing,

and schooling himself on how to be a proper playwright.

His earliest plays drew from real life drama: Never the Sinner tells the story of the infamous Leopold and Loeb case; Haupt-mann was about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping; and Riverview, a musical melodrama set at Chi-cago’s famed amusement park. All were put on more or less during a “very vibrant time in Chicago theatre,” said Logan. It wasn’t until an ex-HBO execu-tive discovered one of his plays

that Logan entered into the movie industry. That executive, Brian Siberell, left HBO to become an agent at Creative Artists Agency, a talent agency in Los Angeles; taking on Logan as his first client and guiding him to write his earliest screen-play: a take on King Lear in the NFL—or what would eventu-ally become Any Given Sunday. (Oliver Stone read Logan’s draft and personally coached him through 26 more drafts to make the final film.) When Logan

started writing the premise for Skyfall—a gripping, unflinching, humanizing movie for the onedimensional super spy, with more elements of film noir than most Bond films—he had already received a Tony Award, a Golden Globe, and three Academy Awards. He had also been an openly gay screenwrit-er in Hollywood for decades.

Spectre marks the second Bond movie Logan and director Sam Mendes have worked on together. Lately, after smashing box-office records with Skyfall, the duo have partnered for Penny Dreadful on Showtime. (The title refers to the penny dreadfuls, a type of 19thcentury cheap British fiction with lurid and sensational subject matter, and stars Josh Hartnett and Eva Green.)

With Spectre, Logan has the not-so-easy task of keeping the Bond f ranchise going for another couple of decades. If you’re going to do that, it doesn’t hurt to introduce an ever-ex-panding league of assassins and terrorists out for Bond’s blood. Will we see Blofeld make an appearance? (For its part, the Internet has its money on Blofeld being a she.) Either way, Logan will have had succeeded: Bond has shed his silly, one-dimensional archetype in favor of a character that could traipse across the stage. Bond bleeds, and we bleed with him.

Mary O’Neil manages Tri-fecta Grill, 501 Chestnut St., and Patrick O’Neil will continue to manage Little Ricky’s, 540 Lincoln Ave. O’Neil’s restaurant gift certificates will be redeem-able at the other two restaurants.

Trifecta Grill “reflects a hip downtown experience with mod-erate pricing,” according to the restaurant’s web site. The 21 Club area of the restaurant fea-tures self-dispensing wine ma-chines. Little Ricky’s Rib Joint not only offer’s fall-off-the-bone-ribs but “an extensive menu that covers a vast array of tastes.”

“We are very grateful to all of our customers and we will con-tinue serving our customers,” O’Neil said.

O’Neil said there already has been inquiries regarding the location.

“The town will support a new place at that location,” O’Neil said. “They supported us for 24 years. It was a great, great res-taurant for us. It’s sad. It’s per-sonal to us, but it’s time and it will allow us to put our energy and focus on the other two.”

O’Neil said that he was hopeful a buyer for the location could be in place by the time the restaurant closes.

The seller’s DIsClOsureWith every listing comes a form called “The Seller’s Disclosure.” This is a form that every seller must fill out and should be included with documentation. It’s a form that tells potential buyers exactly what they’re in for with the house they’re buying. While the disclosure is a great tool, it shouldn’t be your only tool. Ask the seller if they’re willing to have a home inspection done and if any defects are disclosed, that they’ll be willing to make necessary repairs. The good news is a seller’s disclosure will let you know about any defects or potential defects in a house. The bad news is that if, after closing, something happens that wasn’t listed on the form, and the seller says they were unaware of it, there’s nothing that can be done. This is why a home inspection is a great thing to invest in—as well as asking the seller to include a home warranty. If “Contingent upon satisfactory home inspection,” it’s written into the contract offered, the buyer is provided with options. With a home warranty secured and in place at the time of closing, both the buyer and the seller are protected, with just a little extra forethought and planning going into the terms of closing.

Talk with your Realtor®, they’ll explain all your options!

Numerous polls say roman-tic partners are more likely to talk about sex than

money – though money matters

weigh heavily on our minds.A 2014 Associated Press-WE

TV poll found that two-thirds of Americans think it’s harder to

talk about money with their ro-mantic partner than it is to talk about sex.

And a 2015 survey of 15,000 men and women by researchers from University College London found that people are seven times more likely to tell a stranger how many sexual partners they’ve had, whether they’ve had an affair, and whether they’ve ever contracted a sexually-transmitted disease than to reveal their income.

It was one of the world’s most comprehensive studies of atti-tudes toward sex, and only three percent of participants refused to answer the most intimate ques-tions. On the other hand, nearly 20 percent resisted questions about their salaries. Several flat out refused to quantify their household incomes.

Had I been asked to partici-pate, I would have been among the three percent who got red in the face and declined to talk about sex; I think that’s why this research fascinates me.

I’d far rather talk about money – that in the Associated Press-WE TV poll, most of the respon-

dents said it was acceptable to ask someone out because they seem successful, but unacceptable to turn someone down because they haven’t yet found success.

One-third found it acceptable to search online for clues about a potential date’s financial status. But almost all say it is still the man’s job to pay for the first date; 70 percent said he is not ex-pected to pay for everything on subsequent dates.

If the dates lead to marriage and family, well, the pressure is on. The AP-WE TV poll found that half of Americans believe a man with a family has a respon-sibility to choose a higher-paying job over one that is more satisfy-ing, compared with 42 percent who felt that way in 1978 Time/Yankelovich survey.

“Open communication about money is a vital part of any ro-mantic relationship, but discuss-ing finances is often stigmatized in American culture,” said Caro-line McNally, vice president of marketing at Yodlee, a maker of financial data applications, in a 2014 statement. It was at that

time that Yodlee released its survey on money and sex.

Yodlee found that 62 percent of Americans (77 percent of women and 46 percent of men) think about money more than sex. And of those in a relation-ship, 27 percent say their wealth

worries affect how often they want to be intimate with their partner.

Please, please don’t send me any emails about sex. But I can other-wise be reached for your comments at [email protected].

Musings by Mike Lubow

North Shorts

“The Trip”

The North Shore has almost everything. No need to belabor the point. Although,

in a moment, we’ll probably do just that.

But first...Every once in a while, you find

yourself obligated to leave home and go on a trip whether you want to or not.

You try to be positive about it. Once you’re settled in, your belt is clicked and you take off, travel time is usually only about an hour and forty-five minutes.

While en route, with your seat

tilted back a bit, you regret that you had to schedule your depar-ture at workday’s end, the busiest time for travelers. But such things are often beyond your control.

As you sit suspended in time, your mind wanders to the point you made earlier: the North Shore has it all. Why leave?

There’s every kind of restau-rant. Big, little, plain, fancy. There are pubs for fun, and also gourmet spots for those with adventure-some palates.

The North Shore even has Broadway-quality entertainment. A newly updated theater in Glencoe is said to be one of the

country’s best. Hotels around here have great meeting rooms, banquet halls and congenial bars.

Nevertheless, sometimes your travel plans cannot be delayed or denied. So there you are, amid the sound of droning engines for the estimated, unavoidable one hour and forty-five minutes.

Yes, you’re creeping along the Edens. Then the Kennedy. Even-tually you reach an off-ramp. The word “ramp” makes you think of air travel.

And the thought hits that this car ride to Chicago’s Loop takes the same time as a flight to New York would.

COOKING & WINE @ 909 COMBINES LEARNING AND DINNER PARTIES

BY SIMON MURRAY

Ideas hit us in different ways, and in different places. For Marilee Fellinger, inspiration

hit her right in her very kitchen: which would change it forever.

After spending hours upon hours watching the Food Network, Fellinger, a self-de-scribed foodie and former cor-porate marketing executive, thought of one of those killer ideas that we all wish we could act on: why not hire a profes-

sional chef to teach a class, at home, in this very kitchen. And if she were feeling this way, surely others would want that in-person instruction as well?

It turns out, she was right. The company Fellinger started, Cooking & Wine @ 909, has taken off, with a schedule that includes thematic classes such as “Latin Flair” and “Bears & Booze” nights, while also allow-ing customers to come up with their own custom classes on any cuisine or theme they like. To date, the “Fancy Shmancy Ap-petizers” class—available on Nov. 12—has been the most popular. And for good reason.

“Pre-holidays, people are trying to get ideas for entertain-ing,” says Fellinger. “And also, people are in need of a night out—it’s a fun girls night out.”

Arranged around the over-sized island in Fellinger’s kitchen, classes are instructed by professional chefs. (In the past they’ve included guests chefs such as Greg Carter of Ten Mile House, and Fernando Coppola, executive chef of W Chicago – City Center.) “Fancy Shmancy Appetizers” is hosted by Blair Carothers, a certified personal chef, caterer, and

cooking instructor, on staff, who brings with her years of experi-ence and recipes.

For $65 per person, Caroth-ers takes the attendees through five different appetizers, fielding questions and individually in-structing each person as they sip wine and prepare the food in real time. For her Za’atar Chicken and Sumac Yogurt Lettuce Cups, Carothers’ advice pertains to freshness.

“Use f resh pomegranate seeds!” says Carothers. “The fruit is easy to seed and the fresh arils are much firmer and juicier than the packaged version.”

Pomegranate seeds! Never fear. Those seemingly difficult items we sometimes skip over in a recipe are a breeze with the proper instruction.

Says Fellinger, “The Chefs are fantastic when they come up with these great menus that are teaching people something they wouldn’t normally know how to make but it’s not above their skill level.” She adds, “You don’t need to go to culinary school to do these things.”

For more information or to sign up for a class, visit cook-ingandwineat909.com.

TOTAL TIME: 45 MINUTESSERVES: 4

3 tablespoon olive oil, divided2 tablespoons Za’atar (can be found at a Middle Eastern Grocery or good spice shop)2 large garlic cloves, mincedKosher salt and fresh ground pepper4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs6 baby gem lettuces (or 2 Boston Bibb lettuces)¾ cup plain Greek yogurt or Labnah (Middle Eastern yogurt)

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rub the chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, za’atar, garlic and seasoning onto the chicken thighs and lay them flat in a glassbaking pan. Roast in the

oven for 20-25 minutes. 2. Make sure the thickest part of each chicken thigh is cooked. Remove from the oven and leave the chicken to cool in its juices for 10 minutes. Cut the root end of the baby gem or Bibb lettuces and pull apart the leaves. Wash leaves and dry thoroughly, if necessary. 3. Mix the yogurt with the lemon juice, 1 T olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. Splice each of the chicken thighs into 8 pieces. Put a spoonful of yogurt into each lettuce leaf. Add some chicken and red onion. To garnish, sprinkle sumac, pomegranate seeds and cilantro leaves before serving. 5. For entertaining, the chicken can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. The lettuce cups can be assembled a couple of hours before a party and refrigerated.

They gathered, every member of the New Trier field hockey team, in the base-

ment at senior Audrey Kingdom’s house on Halloween Eve. It also was the night before the state championship game, New Trier vs. Glenbard West, an ideal time to escape and bond and laugh.

Trevians got comfortable on Oct. 30 and watched Halloween-town, a Disney Channel movie, rated TV-G. The plot: a girl learns she is a witch and helps save a town full of other supernatural creatures. Characters in the movie reminded some of Trevians of some of their teammates. Waves of laughter ensued in the base-ment. The 1998 movie spawned three sequels.

The next day, on the home turf in Northfield, in rainy, windy cold, miserable conditions, New Trier’s top-seeded field hockey team edged Glenbard West’s third-seeded club 1-0. It was another sequel in a long-running, highly successful franchise. Part 12, to be exact, and rated TV-G (short for Trevians are Good).

Stout defense and senior de-fender Rose Gorski’s goal helped New Trier (27-5) capture its 12th state title in program history, 10th under 26th-year coach Stephanie Nykaza and sixth since 2007. The lone goal came at the 22:32 mark of the second half, off a penalty corner. Senior Maggie Lake pushed the ball inbounds to class-mate Gorski, stationed near senior Alison Denby. The ball deflected off Gorski’s stick and rolled towards Denby’s stick. Denby quickly fed the ball back to Gorski, who swung the only way she knows how to swing: hard. Hilltoppers defenders, along with the rain and whipping winds, were no match for the shot from the Cornell University-bound Gorski. The ball found the cage.

“Rose was huge for us, offen-sively and defensively,” Nykaza said afterward, steady raindrops failing to dampen her excitement. “All of our girls had the mindset, the right mindset, to do what they did today. It’s always about that, the mindset. It’s also about the girls. This was their show.”

Denby, a Middlebury (Vermont) College recruit, played a tireless brand of field hockey in the title game, keeping posses-sions alive with her stick skills and thwarting the occasional Glen-bard West rush with her will. In one stretch in the second half, Denby briefly lost control of the ball to a Hilltopper near midfield but stole it right back.

“To play energetically,” Denby said of her primary role in 2015. “We all had goals in mind this season. We all came together today. It was great, seeing every-body pull together, fight. We’re fighters to the end.”

They were in the best shape of their lives on the final weekend of the season, coming off a splen-did 4-0 state semifinal defeat of Loyola Academy on Oct. 29. LA’s Ramblers, featuring Illinois High

School Field Hockey Association Player of the Year and George-town University-bound Lindsay Getz, left New Trier’s home field with a shots-on-goal total of zero. Nykaza knows you can’t win a state title on talent alone. Nykaza wants her girls to wonder, at various junctures of a season, Am I getting ready for a field hockey game or a cross country race?

“We run them hard,” Nykaza, a kinetic wellness teacher at the school, admitted. “They run; they lift. We condition hard.”

It certainly showed on Oct. 31. New Trier maintained possession of the ball, unofficially, between 80-85 percent of the time against Glenbard West. Maybe more. Villanova University-bound Claire Weaver, a captain, and Colgate University-bound Lake nearly connected on what would

have been a beautiful goal at 10:15 of the second half, a right-on cross from Lake splish-splashing to the stick of a hustling Weaver. Every second of the championship game was a sweet one for Weaver, who sat out NT’s state championship effort last fall with a torn ACL. Senior Jessica Urkov, filling in nicely for an injured Kingdom, made the stop of the day, clearing a dangerous shot in front of Tre-vians junior goalkeeper Therese Cooney at 21:20 of the second half — a little more than a minute after Gorski’s goal. Urkov also made a key steal on another Glen-bard West surge.

Junior Nell Van Schaack came up big. Senior Amanda David came up big. Lake, with only 4:05 left in the season, then made New Trier’s drenched faithful forget all about the nasty weather. She

scooped up a free ball near a side-line and air dribbled it with her stick, tap-tap-tap-tapping it past a couple of Hilltoppers. It was a slick move, a smart move. It ate up time, precious time Glenbard West couldn’t afford to lose. It drew cheers from New Trier’s faithful.

Northfield was no longer Northfield at that moment. Northfield had become Field-hockeytown.

Notable: Six Trevians made the Illinois High School Field Hockey Association all-state team: junior Nell Van Schaack and seniors Rose Gorski, Alison Denby, Audrey Kingdom, Sophia Crnkovich and Claire Weaver.

Third place gameHeading into a state semifinal

against Glenbard West last week, Lake Forest High School’s field hockey team had not allowed a goal in nearly a month. The Scouts had also appeared in the last 12 state title games.

West’s third-seeded Hilltop-pers stunned the second-seeded Scouts, 3-1, on Oct. 29.

“It was devastating,” Lake Forest coach Melanie Walsh said. “It broke their hearts.”

Two days later, in the game for third place in Northfield, Lake Forest downed fifth-seeded Loyola Academy 3-1 behind two goals from Libby Thompson and another from senior Sheridan Weiss.

“I told them, ‘Treat this game like it’s the state championship,’ ” Walsh said. “I’m really proud of the way they rallied from a sad, sad day. This team is stacked with talent, and the girls played to-gether beautifully.”

Thompson, a Duke University recruit, tallied the first two goals of the game, the second somehow avoiding the legs and the sticks of three, maybe four, Ramblers on its path to the cage.

“I took a giant swing,” Thomp-son, the daughter of a former Duke track and field team member (Sandy Timothy Thomp-son), said.

“It’s a team sport,” she added. “Our ‘D’ held strong.”

Illinois High School Field Hockey Association Player of the Year Lindsay Getz scored Loyola’s goal off a penalty corner, cutting the Scouts’ lead to 2-1 at 6:18 of the first half. Junior Hannah Metzger was the victorious goal-keeper. Seniors Katelyn Lochi-atto, Becca Skinner, Emma DeNoble and Meggie Armstrong stood out defensively for the Scouts (18-4), a Final Four team for the 20th season in a row.

Notable: Lake Forest High School junior Libby Thompson and seniors Sheridan Weiss, Katelyn Lochiatto, Becca Skinner and Emma DeNoble made the IHSFHA all-state team, as did Loyola Academy’s Lindsay Getz, Clare Fallon, Gabby Paraccini and Jane Totaro.

SPORTS


Caked on.Minutes after the race

— on a morning fit best for ducks and umbrellas — a drenched and mud-speckled Chody couldn’t wipe the smile off her face. She was experiencing a runner’s high.

For her, the weather for the Class 3A Schaumburg Sectional at Busse Woods on Oct. 31 was fabulously miserable.

Steady rain and a treacherous three-mile terrain seem to bring the best out of Chody. The Lake Forest High School sophomore crossed the finish line in fifth place (18:12.15), leading the Scouts to a sectional championship.

“I know it might sound a little weird,” said Chody, with a smile. “But I love running in this.

“I tend to stay positive in bad weather,” she added. “The rain didn’t have that much effect on me.”

Chody has been good all season. And, true to form, she becomes especially good at this time of season.

“ ‘Big Race’ Brett Chody,” said LF head coach Steve Clegg, who watched his squad (79 points) outrun fellow state qualifiers Grant (100), Barrington (101), Stevenson (113) and Palatine (115). “This is what she does in the big meets. This is what she did at state last year.”

Last fall, as a freshman, Chody helped LF to a runner-up team finish in Class 2A state race by blasting to a 12th-place finish on the three-mile layout at Peoria’s Detweiller Park.

In Saturday’s race at Busse Woods, LF freshman Lauren Garriques (6th, 18:13.93) also exploded to the finish line, coming in one second behind Chody, while senior Katie Condon (16th, 18:41.36), sophomore Emma Milburn (20th, 18:48.83) and freshman Courtney Schmidt (32nd, 19:26.05) rounded out a Formidable Five.

“I knew we’d all be there,” said Chody.

“This is what we were hoping for,” Clegg said. “Lauren and Katie followed the plan perfectly. Emma gutted it out.”

And then, there’s Courtney Schmidt, who ran ahead of her sisters, senior twins Callahan

(66th) and Kelsey (83rd).“Courtney was super solid

today,” said Clegg. “After the race, she looked at me right in the eye, and said, ‘Coach, I gave it all I had.’’’

Lake Forest Boys: Mark Myers earned one of the at-large state berths. The senior battled the ele-ments and came in 11th in 16:06.

At last year’s Class 2A meet, Myers claimed all-state honors with a 17th-place finish at Det-weiller Park.

Junior Etienne Najman com-peted in the sectional but did not qualify.

Highland Park Girls: Charlotte Nawor was the tough-luck kid at the Schaumburg Sectional. The senior standout, who earned Class 3A all-state honors last November (21st place), had a mishap 300 meters into the race.

“She turned her ankle at the turn,” said HP head coach Andy Butler. “A lot of runners would

have stopped right there. But she wanted to finish and help the team.”

And she did. Nawor completed the task in 20:36, which placed her fifth on the team (84th) behind Kaitlyn Twadell (61st), Robin Israel (71st), Rachel Powers (73rd) and Marni Pine (74th). The Giants placed 14th in the team standings.

Highland Park Boys: By the time the sectional boys race com-menced — 75 minutes after the start of the girls race — every step on the Busse Woods course turned into an adventure.

The rain just kept coming.“It was tough,” admitted High-

land Park Brett Davidson. “Every step you took was slick. I did my best. I’ll be ready for next weekend (Class 3A state meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park).”

Davidson stayed with the leaders most of the way. He even-tually fell back with 800 meters left. The senior wound up placing

sixth overall in 15:50.86. The winner, Lake Zurich’s Matt Pereira, was clocked in 14:40.47.

“Brett went up against some of the top runners in state today,” said HP head coach Steve Buti. “He’s worked really hard to get to this point.”

Buti was disappointed with HP’s team finish.

“We had been coming along real well,” said the coach, who watched his team finish ninth overall with 236 points. “This was not what we were hoping for.”

“I thought we (as a team) might make some noise here,” said Da-vidson.

The other scorers were Nate Amster (42nd), Jose Reyes (53rd), Charlie Skurie (65th) and Alec Glazier (70).

Lake Park Sectional

He was like the fast car on the freeway.

New Trier’s Josh Derrick didn’t get off to a particularly quick start

in the Class 3A sectional at Lake Park High School on Oct. 31.

But the senior definitely found that extra gear on his way to a runner-up finish. He cruised the rain-soaked three miles in 15:18 and helped his team to a state-qualifying third-place finish (92 points).

“After the first 800 meters, I was pretty far back. I was around 20th place,” said Derrick. “I just kept passing guys. Then, I gunned it to the finish line. I was happy with the way I closed.”

Derrick has put together a solid season. He’s been at the top or near the top in six major meets this fall: 1st at Niles West Re-gional, 3rd at the Central Subur-ban League Championships, 8th at the First to the Finish Invite, 8th at the Palatine Invite and 12th at the Hornet-Red Devil Invite.

“He’s figured it out,” said NT head coach David Wismer.

Last year was a struggle for Derrick.

“With a mile left, I would just

run out of gas,” he said.He found out that he was

anemic. Taking iron supplements have done wonders for his running.

Junior teammate Warren Blood also came up with a top-five finish (15:24).

“He runs his best at the end of the year,” said Wismer.

Others in NT’s top five in-cluded Jack Litowitz (22nd, 15:46), Patrick Norrick (29th, 15:54) and Alex Burck (34th, 15:56).

New Trier Girls: Now this was impressive.

New Trier simply dominated the Class 3A Lake Park Sec-tional on Oct. 31. The Trevians scored only 50 points and put six runners in the top 15: Grace Fagan (6th, 17:54), Caroline Fix (9th, 18:10), Caroline Trukenbrod (10th, 18:13), Kelli Schmidt (12th, 18:16), Oona Jung-Beeman (13th, 18:16) and Molly Schmidt (15th, 18:22).

“A really nice group perfor-mance,” said NT head coach John Burnside. “They know that they can depend on one another.

“Today, they just went out there and raced,” the coach added. “They were surging throughout the race.”

Loyola Girls: The Ramblers just missed advancing as a team. They tallied 208 points, while York took the fifth and final spot with 200 points.

Senior Kathryn House, however, was not to be denied. She started strong and finished strong, qualifying to state by placing eighth in 18:06.8.

House, who has battled illness (virus) and injury (shin pain) all season, will be making a return trip to the state meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park. Last year, she placed 41st.

“I had worse injuries last year,” said House, who now has three top-10 sectional finishes in her career. “I am feeling so much better this year. And I’m a lot more confident.”

LA’s other scorers were Lainey McKinley (42nd, 18:48.9), Payton Hoag (43rd, 18:48.9), Margot Dooley (52nd, 19:03) and Allie Zahn (73rd, 19:29).

John Deering is a junior at Lake Forest High School, according to the printed

football roster in a playoff program. He is not. He is a sophomore, according to … John Deering, the Scout himself. He is also listed as a running back/linebacker, No. 36, a 6-foot-1, 205-pounder. That information is accurate.

To the person responsible for thinking Deering is older than he is and typing “Jr” near his name: you are forgiven. Deering does not play like a typical sophomore plays, does not hit like a typical sophomore hits, does not look like a typical sophomore looks. He performed well beyond his years in Lake Forest’s 34-27 defeat of visiting Lakes Community High School in a Class 6A playoff opener on Oct. 30. Sporting smeared, runaway eye black and an Eric Hosmer-like beard — thick on parts of his face, not so thick on other parts — Deering was in full derring-do mode against the Eagles, pressuring the quarter-back and making other ball car-riers wince in each quarter. Lakes, down 13-7 at the time, had a first-and-goal at Lake For-est ’s one-yard line midway through the second quarter. The Eagles (6-4) had just completed a 72-yard pass play.

“Nothing had to be said [in the huddle],” an animated Deering, smiling hard, said loudly in the Scouts’ loud locker room afterward. “We knew what we had to do.”

What Lakes couldn’t do, 12 inches from pay turf: score. A horde of Scouts (7-3) dropped Colton Jewell for a two-yard loss on first down. Deering tackled Ethan Greenfield at the two-yard line. Deering stopped Jewell at around the one-yard line, setting up a fourth-and-goal a couple of eyelashes from the end zone. A swarm of Scouts then smothered Jewell, triggering jubilation from Scouts on the field and from Scouts along the sideline.

Deering, recounting the game-turning goal-line stand, lauded his club’s defensive linemen.

“Our linemen,” he said, “allowed [Scouts linebackers] to make plays.”

Deering displayed his relent-less side early in the postseason opener, sacking Lakes senior Jordan Mercure, on a fourth-and-four play, on the fourth play of the game. Lake Forest took over at Lakes’ 47-yard line and tallied its first touchdown shortly thereafter. A tone, the resound-ing kind, had been set by an underclassman on a field full of upperclassmen.

Lake Forest’s homecoming game was played on Sept. 25. John Deering’s homecoming game was played on Aug. 28, the Dunbar game, the season opener. Deering grew up in Lake Forest,

attended Deer Path Middle School in Lake Forest and took freshman classes and played football at Loyola Academy in Wilmette last fall. He chose to transfer to his hometown high school last summer.

“I had no idea what my role on this team would be in the summer, how I’d be used this season,” Deering said. “[Lake Forest coach Chuck Spagnoli] has been a huge help, along with our seniors, since my first day. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned the importance of playing hard, playing downhill, playing for my teammates.”

Hunter Weiss played football for the Scouts’ freshman ‘A’ team this fall. Back in his grade-school

days, he heard stories, true ones, about what Deering did on foot-ball fields. His favorite occurred in a feeder football league game. Deering kicked off for his youth team that year, among other duties, too many to list here. A day after the Scouts’ playoff victory last weekend, Weiss, watching his sister, Sheridan, play in the third-place game of the state field hockey tourna-ment in Northfield, detailed a memorable sequence in which Deering did many things fright-eningly well several years ago.

“After he kicked off, John ran down the field, caused a fumble, picked the ball up and ran it in for a touchdown,” Weiss, stand-ing with three of his teammates,

said near a fence at Naughton Field. Bobby Winebrenner, Colin Lochiatto and George Schoettle listened to Weiss’ rec-ollection. They didn’t appear to be in awe, probably because Deering was that boy — had to be that boy — who always got picked first in pickup games and because what Deering did in that game is what he continues to do these days: impact games. Regu-larly. No. 36 in your Lake Forest football program has a knack for deep-sixing opponents’ hopes. See Deering eye a ball carrier. See Deering crush ball carrier. See ball carrier go down, back-wards.

“He does a great job for us,” Spagnoli said. “He’s grown a lot,

as a player, this season, and he’s getting better and better.”

Notable: Seventh-seeded Lake Forest faces second-seeded Prairie Ridge in Crystal Lake in a Class 6A second-round playoff game on Nov. 6, beginning at 7 p.m. PR routed Crystal Lake South 56-12 in a playoff opener on Oct. 30. Prairie Ridge won the 6A state title in 2011. … Scouts senior running back Quinn Julian totaled 253 yards from scrimmage and scored five touchdowns in Lake Forest’s 34-27 defeat of visiting Lakes, a 10th seed, in a playoff opener last weekend. He rushed for 130 yards, on 23 carries, and caught eight passes from classmate Danny Carollo for 123 yards. His four TDs on the ground covered a combined 17 yards, an eight-yarder (in the third quarter) the lengthiest of the scores. Julian’s TD reception was a nine-yarder, and it put LF up 20-7 at 3:16 of the third quarter. Carollo finished 20-of-27 for 263 yards and fell on a Lakes onside kick at 1:27 of the fourth quarter. Lake Forest senior wideout Brian Doherty came down with five receptions (40 yards), and junior wideout Cole Johnston needed only two catches to total 58 yards. … A fumble recovery by Lake Forest senior defensive back Matthew Clifford, at Lake Forest’s 29-yard line, preceded a Julian TD run in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Scouts junior Reed Thomas secured a Lakes muff on a punt return, setting the stage for a six-play, 31-yard scoring drive. The TD expanded the hosts’ lead to 34-14. Lakes made Lake Forest fans sweat on a mild Halloween Eve, scoring two fourth-quarter TDs (three-yard pass play, 50-yard fumble return) in a nine-second span. … Lake Forest and Lakes met in the second round of the 2012 6A playoffs, LF advancing with a 23-21 victory. … Lake Forest teams coached by Chuck Spag-noli failed to earn a playoff berth only once (in 2009) since 2006. His most successful squad to date reached a Class 6A state semifinal in 2012.

S ome people dressed up as monsters this Halloween. In Wilmette Saturday af-

ternoon, the scariest monster costume was Ben LeRoy dressing … as himself.

“He’s a monster,” Loyola Academy coach John Holecek said after LeRoy starred in the Ram-blers’ dominating 31-0 win over West Aurora in the first round of the Class 8A playoffs on Oct. 31. “I said earlier in the summer that he shouldn’t be satisfied with just making a tackle. He should take the ball from the ball carrier, if he gets the chance. He’s just a dom-inating player. He’s quick. He’s strong. One of the best players I’ve ever coached.”

LeRoy was super productive against West Aurora: nine solo tackles, three assists. Four of the tackles went for losses, while he also forced a fumble in a defensive performance in which the Ram-blers (10-0) held West Aurora to just 68 yards of total offense and five first downs. Sprinkle in seven turnovers and add a steady rain, and it was a miserable, soggy ride home for the Blackhawks (5-5).

“We knew (the rain) was going to be to our advantage because the rain makes the ball come out easier,” LeRoy said. “If you just punch at it, it will come out.

“It makes our job easier because people get sloppier in this weather. We have to feed off whatever we can.”

LeRoy seemed to be in the middle of everything, but he wasn’t the only Loyola defender feasting on West Aurora ball carriers. Line-backer Anthony Romano (6 solo tackles, tackle for loss), linebacker Mickey Kane (2 fumble recover-ies), lineman Jack Hough (5 solo tackles), linebacker Cross Daffada (3 solo tackles, TFL, QB sack, fumble recovery), safety Emmett Largay (TFL, interception), de-fensive back Ian Swenson (2 tackles, interception), and safety Bobby Desherow (fumble recov-ery) were among several defensive stars who ruined West Aurora’s first playoff appearance since 1994.

The normally high-scoring Ramblers had their own trouble in the first half, managing just one touchdown in the first half. Running back Dara Laja rushed for 154 yards on 22 carries, scoring from one-yard out in the first quarter and breaking a 36-yard run in the fourth. The Ramblers scored their other two touchdowns via the ground: a 21-yard run by Kyle Rock and a two-yard run out of the wildcat formation by Jake Marwede (7 carries, 25 yards).

Loyola hosts Stevenson on Nov. 7 at noon in a rematch of last year’s second-round game which even-tual state champion Stevenson won in Lincolnshire. The winner of this game plays the winner of the game between New Trier and south suburban power Home-wood-Flossmoor.

Immediately after sacking Lyons quarterback Ben Bryant for the second time in the fourth

quarter, New Trier defensive lineman Jake Lowell fell to the ground after having particles of the Field Turf get in his eyes.

That might have been the only thing to go wrong for Lowell and the Trevians, 30-3 winners over visiting Lyons in a Class 8A playoff opener on Oct. 30 in Northfield. Lowell, who also logged some downs at fullback, was a force on defense, with seven tackles and two sacks as the Trevians held Lyons to 136

yards of total offense.“We played sound team D.

We played as a unit,” Lowell said. “That ’s how you stop any offense.”

“He’s irreplaceable. He’s our fullback and one of our best D-linemen right now,” NT head coach Brian Doll said. “It’s his first playoff game, and he was all jacked up and excited tonight.”

The Trevians had no problem with Lyons’ spread offense, mul-tiple formations and no-huddle offense. They seemingly got stronger as the game went on.

“A lot of people, even coaches

in our conference, have talked about our speed, and it showed tonight,” Doll said. “You had a spread team that throws it all over the place, but we were able to match their speed and do a little bit more.”

Colin Casas added five tackles and a sack, while the other de-fensive leaders were Blake Field (sack), Christian Miller (3 tackles) and Charlie Conner (3 tackles). Max Bryla picked off a pass in the fourth quarter that effectively put an exclamation point on the Trevians’ dominant defensive effort. How dominant?

From the 2:00 mark in the third quarter to the 2:45 mark in the fourth, no play started from New Trier territory.

“It’s great because so many guys go both ways,” said NT’s Max Rosenthal, who collected four tackles. “The less time you spend on the field on defense the more you can pound them back on offense.”

And the Trevians pounded on offense behind quarterback Clay Czyzynski. New Trier struggled to put the ball in the end zone early as two of their first three drives resulted in Nick Endre

field goals of 20 and 34 yards. But Czyzynski led New Trier on a five-play, 75-yard drive in which he went 4-for-4 for 67 yards. This does not include a backwards pass to Francis Fay that was “completed” for an eight-yard run. It does include an 18-yard post pass to Miller to send the Trevians into half-time up 13-3.

Late in the third quarter, Czyzynski broke a 53-yard run on a QB draw, and two plays later again found Miller for a four-yard TD pass. For the night, Czyzynski rushed for 141 yards

and a touchdown on 19 carries and completed 15-of-20 passes for 191 yards and two touch-downs. His favorite targets were Miller (4 receptions, 47 yards), Casas (5-84) and Eric Nicholas (3-33).

New Trier (9-1) will play at Homewood-Flossmoor on Nov. 6 (7 p.m.). Homewood-Floss-moor is regarded as one of the best teams in 8A, but a late-season loss to Bollingbrook knocked them to a No. 8 seed.

“Nobody in the world thinks we have a chance, so we’ll use that to our advantage,” Doll said.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

‘THE SCHOLAR DENIED’ CHALLENGES WORLD OF SOCIOLOGY


BY SIMON MURRAY

Chant doesn’t mince words; it throws them all together in a wok and lets the adjec-

tives fall where they may. On a late fall morning, Aldon Morris is seated at “the trendy upscale casual dining restaurant”—brevity be damned—on E. 53rd St. The Asian fusion restaurant falling within the boundaries of the South Side neighborhood of Hyde Park.

Outside, traffic was snarled around the city’s midsection. The last vestiges of an Indian summer found people coat-less and scarf-less, as the sun poked its head through a wooly layer of clouds. Some were invariably students; the University of Chicago’s campus, with its prestigious De-partment of Sociology, is only a few blocks from where Morris and I were seated.

It’s there, at the University of Chicago, where Robert E. Park—an urban sociologist long consid-ered one of the major architects of modern-day sociology—is credited for developing one of the leading schools of sociology. A school of thought that is still prac-ticed by modern sociologists to this day.

Morris, the Leon Forrest Pro-fessor of Sociology and African American Studies at Northwest-ern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, sipped on a glass of pinot noir and took bites of his fried catfish sambal. He swirled

around his wine glass. He lectured, at some length, as a professor is wont to do. And our conversation inevitably gravitated towards the University, to Park, and to the black sociologist and activist, W.E.B. Du Bois.

That’s because Morris’ recent book levels no small claim: Instead of Park, and the Chicago School, Morris argues it was Du Bois—long marginalized by the field for the last century—who should be credited as the primary founder of modern sociology in America; flipping the discipline’s history on its head.

“The Scholar Denied: W.E.B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology” builds on the schol-arly research that has come to the foreground in recent decades on one of America’s finest intellectu-als. In that way, Morris is not a lone wolf prowling the halls of history but a stalwart lion defend-ing the black scholar’s contribu-tion to the discipline.

With the “Scholar Denied” he is now putting himself out in front, leading the charge.

Morris’ words, tinged with a subtle southern drawl, cut through the air like a knife: “Let me be clear about something, I’m not saying that University of Chicago didn’t do important early social scientific work. But I am saying that Du Bois was among the first to do it. He was the most innova-tive and he foreshadowed what the discipline has become.”

Morris was born in rural Tut-

wiler, Miss. One of his earliest memories was the lynching of 14 year old Emmett Till, a Chicagoan visiting Money, Miss. less than 30 miles from where he grew up.

Living in the heartland of Jim Crow racism in-formed his perception of the world; but it wasn’t until he moved to Chicago with his family and attended Southeast Community College on the South Side that he learned about Du Bois from “an elderly black professor from the South.” Then and there he decided to become a sociologist.

But to Morris’ dismay, when he attended g r a d u a t e school at S t o n y Brook Uni-versity, Du Bois was noticeably a b s e n t from the s o c i o -logical canon. W h i l e “The Scholar Denied” took over 10 years of writing and extensive research, Morris admits that he has been writing this, off and on, for most of his adult life.

“What I am doing in this book

is [to] resurrect, [to] reconstruct his scientific school of sociology and to argue it has a place in the canons,” said Morris. I asked if he was ever, at one point, included in the canon, and when exactly the intel-lectual lacuna took place. “It’s not that he’s been forgotten,” responded Morris, “it’s that he was never remembered.”

Du Bois was the first African American to earn a

doctorate from Harvard Uni-versity. A prolific author, his

writings range from sociological works to poetry, short stories, journalism, and fiction; an ardent civil rights activist he helped co-found the Niagara Movement,

Pan-African Congresses, and the National As-

sociation for the Advancement of

Colored People. “He was one of the most highly

educated Ameri-c a n s , per iod.

B u t because of racism he

couldn’t get a job,” noted

Morris.That led him to

Atlanta University, where a Du Boisian school of thought emerged—and was ef-fectively disparaged and ignored by the leading white institutions

and Booker T. Washington, the wealthiest, most powerful black man in America between 1895 and 1915.

“His argument, radical at the time, was that blacks were at the bottom due to institutional racism, discrimination, and lack of eco-nomic resources,” said Morris. Despite the outright suppression against him, sociology has only recently caught up with where Dubois was at the turn of the 20th century.

In 2005, Morris successfully organized a small group of his peers to head a campaign to per-suade the American Sociological Association to rename its top award for Du Bois. As a result, the most prestigious award in the field was renamed the W.E.B. Du Bois Career of Distinguished Scholar-ship Award.

Added Morris, “In a way, this book is a follow up to that kind of political activism that got that changed.” In the spirit, certainly, of the great American sociologist.

As Morris talked, I couldn’t help but notice a quotation written on the wall behind him. Attrib-uted to Buddha, it read: “Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else: You are the one that gets burned.” And what if that person releases the coal and, instead, grabs a pen? Like the phoenix, they burn, and burn brightly, and inspire others to fan the flames from the ashes of the past.
