For Northbrook native Alexan-der Rubinow, the road to be-coming an Emmy-winning

TV editor started with family movies on his father’s Super 8 camera.

Fast-forward 25 years and the Glenbrook North alumnus has turned a childhood passion into a Hollywood career. But not without some detours and major paying of dues.

“People sometimes ask how to get into the entertainment business,” shared Rubinow, who worked unpaid internships and night gigs to get his foot in the door. “From what I have learned, you have to be humble and you cannot be afraid to take a step backwards because it could lead to many steps forwards.”

On Sept. 12, Rubinow took one very large step forward when he, alongside colleagues Alex Durham and Josh Earl, accepted a Creative

Northbrook Native Wins Emmy

BY SCOTT HOLLERAN

The history of Glenview, Il-linois, centers upon farms, groves and railroads—as

well as books, electronics and a naval air base—and it began in 1899 when the town incorpo-rated at the convergence of four townships in northern Illinois.

“What’s unique about Glen-view is the open space—the parks—and the grove, Wagner Farm, and the history center in the middle of town,” says Glen-view History Center’s curator Wayne Carle (pronounced carly). “There’s also the Lutheran cem-etery, there’s Swainwood, where [newspaper columnist] Jack Mabley lived, and the North Shore Country Club. Four town-ships meet here—Northfield, Maine, New Trier and Niles—and I think that’s the only town like that.”

Carle, a retired Marine who lives in Antioch, ought to know. He lived in the village, which incorporated on June 17, 1899, for 20 years. He was a mailman and the Glenview Post Office’s main window clerk for 33 years. Carle’s father, who became Glen-view’s assistant postmaster, worked on the Milwaukee Rail-road’s mail service in Glenview for 40 years. Carle’s sister still works at Glenbrook South High School.

Carle’s family history mirrors Glenview’s past.

“My dad grew up working on a farm in Glenview,” he explained. “So I used to cut peonies and take them to the wholesaler in Morton Grove—until the land was ac-quired by developers.” Such is the country’s, region’s and especially Glenview’s history from agricul-ture to the Industrial Revolution.

“The village [intervened]

through eminent domain so the farm became part of Elm Park,” Carle said. “Now, it’s Johns Park.” Working at Glenview’s post office, Carle, a Civil War buff, said he’s always been interested in Glenview’s history. When a friend asked him to volunteer at the Glenview History Center, he said yes.

The U.S. Civil War has Glen-view links, too, Carle said.

“The 39th Illinois Infantry Regiment was based in [what is now] Glenview,” he said, adding that Glenview forefathers were central to the Union Army unit.

Amasa Kennicott, cousin to Glenview pioneer Dr. John Ken-nicott, was the company’s captain.

According to Carle, Glenview’s founding families include Dr. Kennicott and Joseph Adams, the last enlisted man out of Chicago’s Fort Dearborn. Others include the man who would become Glenview’s first president, Hugh Burnham, a nephew of Chicago architect Daniel Burnham and practitioner of the communal Swedenborgian religion. French-man Robert Dewes, whom Carle describes as a major Glenview landowner—Dewes owned prop-

erty north of Golf Road including land where the Glenview Club is located—was one Glenview’s many growers, traders and devel-opers.

The Kennicotts stand out as crucial to Glenview’s existence.

“Dr. John Kennicott and his brothers were on the west side of town near Milwaukee Road and what’s now called the grove area,” Carle said. “John Kennicott was a medical doctor who was also interested in botany, shrubbery and trees, which he passed down

We are one of the very few teams focused on the North Shore real estate market. We provide the highest level of service because of our processes and our experience. Our team

understands that selling and buying a home can be…well…traumatic. It is an emotional process

that needs to be turned into a business process in order for you to achieve the highest dollar amount

in the shortest amount of time. The Kati Spaniak Team understands what it takes to sell a home in

this market. We market, we advertise, we communicate and we have created a true process.

Kati Spaniak has been in real estate since 2003. Since 2012, she has sold over $65 million in real estate.**

Her team consists of four licensed real estate agents, two full-time assistants and two stagers.

Kati is very knowledgeable and honestly guided my husband and I through the entire sales process. The staging service provided as part of the package really transformed my condo and made it far more appealing to potential buyers. We had to leave town before closing and Kati and her team handled all details with minimal involvement from us. The fact she has a support staff working with her makes for quick response at all times.

Her marketing strategies are very technologically aggressive and reports to the seller provide valuable information on social media marketing. I think @properties has to be at the forefront of technology in real estate sales. I loved the “app” to schedule appointments for showings.

My condo, when compared to other sales Kati sells, was a comparativlely lower-priced property. I felt I was given the same careful attention as a multi-million dollar property. CINDY J.

IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY to start talking to us about

selling your home!

You never actually own a Patek Philippe.

You merely take care of it for the next generation.

Begin your own tradition.

Pain Relief Treatment Centers in now offering a break-through procedure in the

treatment of acute and chronic pain. Non-Invasive Pain Man-agement via MLS laser proce-dures. Pain Relief Treatment Centers is the only PT facility in the Chicago area to offer this cutting edge procedure and only one of a handful across the country.

The centers website states, “The laser therapy has been cleared by the FDA and has been proven

successful and safe as evidenced by extensive and credible studies, including Harvard University.” It goes on to say, “This is cutting edge technology that was devel-oped in Italy and has been in use for several years before becoming available in the US.”

“Now we can reduce the pa-tients pain and do physical therapy at the same time to reduce the treatment time by nearly 50% in many cases,” said Neel Patel, Managing Director of Pain Relief Treatment Centers.

Patel and his wife Shannon, Clinical Director, have been working to relieve pain and

provide wellness to patients through a network of medical and physical therapy clinics for more than 15 years. The couple started out with medical offices and the business evolved based on the needs of patients. “Today we are effectively treating patients

ranging from teenage athletes to our oldest patient who is 98 years old,” said Shannon.

As the population ages and people are looking to be more and more active into their later years the centers have seen a sharp increase of referrals in need of pain relief and physical therapy. Eventually the business shifted to fully serve these needs. “It [Pain Relief Treatment Centers] was based on the needs of the patients. They were speaking loud and clear,” Patel said. “They wanted more conservative ap-proaches to pain relief without worrying about side effects and possible negative interactions of pain medications.”

If a patient is receiving corti-sone injections to relieve pain, those injections can only be ad-ministered three times in a cal-endar year. After that the patient is left to suffer until they qualify for the next round of injections. Patel said it was clear that non-invasive pain management was the wave of the future and that treatment for chronic pain would be moving away from prescription medications and steroid injec-tions.

Pain Relief Treatment Centers now has offices in Glenview, Ar-lington Heights and Blooming-dale.

Pain Relief Treatment Centers offers a variety of different treat-ments including acupuncture, manual therapy, electrical nerve stimulation, strengthening and therapeutic physical therapy pro-grams and MLS non-invasive pain management Laser Therapy.

“After reviewing every possible pain management option we com-mitted to MLS Non-Invasive Laser Therapy and it’s been amazing what we can do from a

non-invasive [standpoint],” Patel said.

Patel said that Pain Relief Treatment Centers continues to perform its own clinical studies on the effectiveness of MLS Laser therapy. He said that they have found a 90 percent success rate in treating conditions such as pe-ripheral neuropathy, bone-on-bone knee pain and many chronic pain conditions.

Pain Relief Treatment Centers has offices in Glenview, Arlington Heights and Bloomingdale. For more information call 847-243-6880.

to his son, Robert, who became an explorer who later helped develop Alaska.”

It was John Kennicott, the first doctor in the area, who discovered Glenview’s growth potential.

“He recognized the prairie for what it was and he saw how it could be commercially useful,” Carle said. “Most of the down-town area was marshy, which made it great for farming. There were a lot of flowers and small vegetable farms and a lot of folks grew peonies, so there was a lot of landscaping. Glenview was flat, level and fertile due to all the moisture, so it was good for farming.”

The Kennicotts were English, he said, as were most of Glenview’s early settlers. The second wave was German. A third wave—which included Hugh Burnham and Swain Nelson, who had one of the largest landscaping enterprises—migrated to Glenview from Penn-sylvania. Like Joseph Sears, the

founder of Kenilworth, they were of the Swedenborgian faith.

Whatever their origins and beliefs, Carle said that the men who came to live in Glenview were often far-sighted, innovative and industrious.

“John Hutchings’ father settled 160 acres in the middle of town—the Hutchings house is where the museum is located—and John started the first saw mill and the first grist mill powered by steam in the township,” he said.

Glenview today has fewer company headquarters than in the 20th century. After Glenview Naval Air Station was closed in 1995, the village’s top employer became Glenbrook Hospital. Il-linois Tool Works and ABT Elec-tronics are based in Glenview. But Zenith Corporation is gone—the property was taken over by Aon—and Glenview-based textbook company Scott Foresman was bought by UK-based Pearson. Kraft Foods’ Glenview headquar-ters moved to Northfield.

The residential population

changed, too. “Glenview is a mixed commu-

nity,” Carle explained. “Now,

there’s a mosque where the gas company used to be. One syna-gogue moved out and one came in on the north. There are a lot of Koreans and Indians in Glenview now. There’s a black population. There’s a Mormon temple. It’s all mixed now.”

Glenview’s past population included newspaper reporter and columnist Jack Mabley, Chicago Cubs third baseman Ron Santos and the late local TV weatherman Harry Volkman. Chicago Bulls’ center Artis Gilmore lived in Glenview. So did both real estate partners Koenig and Strey. Among Glenview’s most famous residents was candy company heiress Helen Brach, who disappeared in 1977. Though she was later declared dead, the mystery of her disap-pearance remains unsolved.

Carle said that the town’s most iconic place is probably the Ken-nicott house at the grove. But it previously may have been the house Hugh Burnham built, which was later demolished. Carle said that the Victorian house with

the wraparound front porch looked out at Glenview’s open expanse: “From his balcony, Hugh

Burnham could look north for quite a distance—it was farmland all around.”

Arts Emmy for their outstanding editing work in the reality-pro-gramming category. The trio was honored as part of the technical awards for the season premiere episode of the Discovery Chan-nel’s “Deadliest Catch: A Broth-erhood Tested.” Rubinow has worked on the series – which brings in three-to-four million viewers per episode – for six seasons.

Fellow contenders included: “The Amazing Race,” “Project Runway” and “Project Runway All Stars,” “Shark Tank” and “Sur-vivor.” The Primetime Emmys aired Sept. 20.

Here, Daily North Shore talks with the homegrown talent about his recent win, why he loves what he does and the thing that forever makes Northbrook feel like home.

DNS: Winning an Emmy is not something most people get to do! What did it feel like?

AR: It was one of those moments like seeing your child born or getting married or grad-uating college – it is hard to verbalize but it was spectacular to say the least. And to have my parents and sister and wife there to witness it was truly wonder-ful. And it is forever.

DNS: What is best/most fun thing about working on “Deadli-est Catch”? Why is it such a cool show?

AR: It is incredibly gratifying to work on a show that is so well loved and acclaimed and admired.

I look forward to work and creat-ing something new every single day at Original Productions. I love telling the stories of the fishermen we document and fol-lowing them through the years, through their ups and downs.

DNS: Breaking into TV, whether you’re on-screen or off, isn’t easy. How did you make your way from Northbrook to L.A.?

AR: Coming out of fifth grade, the video production summer-school class at Northbrook Junior High just spoke to me. I enjoyed [production] to such a degree that it became like there was nothing else I wanted to do or be. This was it. I had found something I was truly passionate about.

After college, I sent my resume out to everyone in Chicago, any-thing that had call letters: post houses, production houses, TV shows at the time. After a few unpaid internships, I was still putting feelers out to places in L.A. A contact I had made years earlier at Paramount had a lead for me and I got a job logging tape for an MTV show called “Fraternity Life.”

I moved out with two suit-cases and was living at my great uncle’s house. The job ended after three months, but it lead to a job on Project Greenlight Season 2 on HBO and then another job on “Modern Marvels” for the History Channel. I worked for the company that made Modern Marvels, Actuality Productions, for nearly six years, starting as a Post Production Assistant and

working my way up. I had my first editor credit on television in 2008.

DNS: Any specific influences?AR: I was definitely influenced

by the knowledge that John Hughes had grown up in my hometown, made his movies in my hometown and attended the same high school as me. This lit a fire, and inspired me to delve into his world a bit.

I am influenced and have always been influenced by my parents. By their drive and passion for what they do and it drives me to be the best that I can. And my teachers. Vince Pinelli at Glen-

brook North High School, and Franklin Miller at the University of Iowa. They were able to guide me and teach me the fundamen-tals of what I do now for a living. When you are in school, you are essentially a one-man-band in your projects. But what I realized very quickly was I liked editing the best. I liked putting it all together at the end, and I got such a sense of satisfaction when it was all finished and I could show it to an audience.

DNS: Do you live out West full-time? How does the SoCal lifestyle compare to Northbrook’s Midwest roots?

AR: I live with my wife and my three-year-old son in Los Angeles. We love Chicago and go back as often as we can – three-day-weekends and holidays, or other special occasions. Northbrook still feels like home. In L.A., I almost never wear a jacket; we can do outdoor activities all year round. But we miss the seasons changing in the Midwest: the leaves changing colors; bundling up to go out into freshly fallen snow.

DNS: What part of editing tele-vision programs do you find most rewarding? Have you worked on other projects that make you

especially proud?AR: The most gratifying part

of working in TV is that I love doing it and I love hearing peo-ple’s feedback.

Outside of “Deadliest Catch,” some other highlights of my career have been the Sundance Award Winning feature docu-mentary, “Waiting for Superman,” the HBO series “Project Green-light,” which has just come back for a fourth season, and my first credit on MTV’s “The Real World.” Also, the History Channel series, “Modern Marvels,” for which I worked on 269 episodes and the Joe Man-tegna film, “Uncle Nino,” which shot around the Northshore of Chicago in the summer of 2002.

DNS: Any upcoming projects you’re particularly excited about?

AR: I am about to start my second episode on the fifth season of Discovery Channel’s “Bering Sea Gold,” which should be on the air in coming months. I also am excited about a brand new show I worked on called, “The Yard” for National Geographic. I edited two episodes of that – one of them being the series premiere – and it should be coming out spring 2016.

On Tuesday, October 27 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium, join

authors Lori Rader-Day (“The Black Hour”), Susanna Calkins (“A Murder at Rosamund’s Gate”), Jamie Frevelett i (“Running from the Devil”) and Lynne Raimondo (“Dante’s Wood”) for a thrilling discussion of mystery novels.

Streetscape at The Glen Approved

The final site plan for a $3 million streetscape of The Glen has recently been approved by village trustees. Construction on new sidewalks, landscaping, and new signage is set to begin in March of next year and last through September.

New, bigger signs are also planned for The Glen’s entrances at Patriot Boulevard, Lake Avenue and Willow Road.

Those 20-foot LED entrance signs at the intersections of Patriot Boulevard and Willow Road, and Patriot and Lake Avenue, will keep a subtle his-toric nod to the site’s former life as the Glenview Naval Air Station.

LOVE & MARRIAGE

Contrary to the stereotype of the strong silent type, Evan-ston resident John Frank

has LOTS to say about divorce.

His two-act play, which will be staged two weekends in Novem-ber, is the tip of the iceberg.

“Men don’t talk about how they

feel; they just kind of soldier on and people around them think, ‘oh, he’ll be fine.’ But there is, in fact, a lot of pain that men don’t talk about,” said Frank, who di-vorced after 16 years of marriage to his first wife. “For example, only seeing your kids every other weekend is a terrible way to live. I have no trouble talking about that.”

And so it was that he wrote Boys in the Basement, described as “a unique look at divorce from the perspective of men who have lost their families and everything they once held dear.” It is inspired by the network Frank developed over the years after his divorce.

“In the suburbs, a divorced man is kind of a non-person. I created a network of divorced men friends, as we were all sort of stuck in limbo,” he said.

Frank explained to me that the script tells the story of the tenants in an apartment building - effi-ciency apartments, that is, located close to several of the tenant’s children and therefore the tenants’ ex-wives – who meet nightly in the basement of their building to

share stories over beers.Among the tenants Frank de-

scribed there is a player, who is twice divorced; a younger guy who is working up the courage to talk to women; an attorney (played by Frank) who is having an affair with his second ex-wife, though she has gone back to her first husband; a new tenant, who thinks he still has a chance to reconcile with his ex-wife; and the landlord, a still-married guy who flaunts to his tenants that he knows what it takes to be success-ful in marriage.

(There are a few women in the building, too, who cross paths with the gentlemen throughout the play.)

“It’s about the fine line between love and hate,” Frank said of his play, “how quickly love turns to hate, and how men deal with loss. In many ways divorce is like death, as it changes your dreams and your life so quickly.”

Frank purposefully recruited a female director, Mary Reynard, to counter the male perspective from which he wrote the script. But he is firm: the play will wake audi-

ence members up to the man’s mindset during and after a divorce.

“I want people to think about how the other person feels when they’re fighting and finding ways to separate themselves. I want people to think about how trau-matic divorce can be and yet how people can go on, and whether there can still be true love.”

Frank believes in it – heck, he

remarried in 2007 – but he admits that it’s hard.

“We’re still people and we still have feelings. Some will change and some will never change, but that’s just how life is.”

Boys in the Basement will be performed at the Piven Theatre Nov. 6-8 and Nov. 13-15. Find more information and purchase tickets at http://evanston2ndactplayers.com

THE PAIN OF DIVORCE

NORTH SHORE FOODIE

ALL SPICE CAFÉ ADDS KICK TO WINGSBY SIMON MURRAY

It’s here! That sleeping giant that awakens every fall to wreak havoc on your cholesterol and

midsection—the National Foot-ball League—is here. Cue the fanfare, and the grease. Cue the fanfaronade, and the beer.

But seemingly nothing goes better together with pigskin on TV than the flightless wings of chickens tossed into a fryer: deep-fried until golden brown, coated with a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and a little butter, and, finally, dunked into ranch or bleu cheese dressing (a polarizing, hot-button issue at tables around the country).

How much do we love chicken wings? According to the Na-tional Chicken Council—the trade association representing the U.S. poultry industry—it’s esti-mated that Americans consumed 1.25 billion chicken wings in 2014. That wasn’t the yearly esti-

mate. That was one day—February 2nd, to be exact—or Super Bowl XLVIII.

As the score of a football game with two lousy defenses is bound to be inflated, the same can be said for the price of wings: in the fourth quarter (traditionally anyway) it goes up, as restaurants stock up for the Super Bowl each year. Such economics (or wing-onomics) would have you believe that Americans have always craved spicy, deep-fried protein.

Not really. While chicken wings have long been a staple of Southern cooking, 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the cre-ation of the buffalo wing in—where else?—Buffalo, New York.

At the time, J.D. Cowles was going to school at the State Uni-versity of New York at Oswego. A short drive from Buffalo, the idea of “Buffalo Wings” was already starting to spread when Cowles tried them for the first time. He was blown away.

That led to all kinds of experi-ments on his own, with Cowles eventually perfecting a cayenne habanero sauce to go with his wings—and anything else. “It’s good on so much more than just chicken wings,” says Cowles, “it adds great flavor and a little bit of heat.”

Cowles (who lives in Califor-nia) was selling his hot sauces—his likeness, made out of peppers, is on each bottle—to local restau-rants, including the Firehouse Restaurant on Venice Beach. The brand was called All Spice Cafe, on account of a desire to own his own restaurant one day, when a real estate developer from Chicago stopped in at a restaurant and tried it.

He called his friend Buddy Feldman—an executive vice president in the food industry for over 25 years—to tell him about it. The rest, as they say, is history.

All four hot sauces are now being manufactured on the North

Shore. They are available in Mariano’s, Jewel Osco, Sunset Foods, and slew of independents from Texas to Missouri, Califor-nia, Ohio, and Michigan.

“I was thinking it would be nice to retire from my crazy day job and [open] a little café some-where,” says Cowles. Now with the help of Feldman and a third

partner, they’re bringing the heat to the whole country—chicken wings very much included.

re-DefIne, nOt re-DesIGn! Staged Homes Professionals® provide both buyers and sellers a variety of “concierge services”—though it’s statistically proven that Staged Homes® sell faster and for more money than unstaged homes, did you know that as a home buyer, the services of an ASP® are also helpful in making the most of your new home? Here are just a few of the reasons to consider professionally staging your home when it’s time to list it on the market. You never get a second chance to make a first impression!Home staging professionals help you ensure that your home’s first impression on potential buyers will be the very best. By creating a room design that is neutral and open to interpretation, buyers are better able to view your home and “mentally move in”, creating an emotional connection that will help your house move quickly and at its highest possible value. An objective eye lends to a competitive sale!How you live in a home is completely different from how you sell a home. The professional home stager is able to look at your home objectively in a way that you, your friends and your family cannot—after all, you’ve lived there for years and have many happy memories associated with the rooms. Your buyers, however, don’t have that history—that’ll be theirs to make, when they make an offer. When your house is on the market, it’s absolutely critical to create rooms with aesthetically pleasing focal points, direct the flow of traffic between rooms and generate an overall ambience that promotes each room as an oasis of calm, inviting buyers to not think of the property as “your house”, but instead, to see it as “their home”. Color, art and room themes—what’s really important? There’s a reason we trust the services of trained professionals—when you cut corners, you always take a risk. Just as you wouldn’t trust a janitor to perform surgery, you should remember that home sales and Home Staging® are professions like any other, and that by enlisting the services of a trained professional, you’ve shown prospective home buyers how serious you are about the piece of real estate you’re listing. While your friend or family member may indeed have a good “eye” for home design, ask yourself if you’d be willing to keep your home on the market longer, or settle for a lesser offer than your home is worth, just to save a few pennies in having it professionally staged. To get a top-notch home sale, you must be willing to invest in top-notch service!

“Interesting friends”

People around here are just too interesting. You wonder: where do you fit

in? One day you’re reading a junky spy thriller over a char dog at a fun-food place in Highland Park...

And the next night you’re out with your wife and another couple at a North Shore bistro, squinting at a menu written in French. The other couple is rec-ommending a good book.

It’s a little hard to hear details over the din, but it seems the book is a two-volume biography of Freud’s housekeeper’s mother-

in-law. Something like that. You’re thinking: “Huh?” And at another recent North

Shore dinner with a different couple, the guy across the table tells you he took a 30-mile bike ride from Lake Forest to Evan-ston that afternoon. Later, his wife announces that they’re going to be leaving soon for a Shakespeare fest out west where they’ll see two plays a day for a week.

You’re thinking: “Huh?” The fact is that you’ve come to

a point in life, geography and demographics where you find yourself in the company of people who have way more going

on than you have. They’re into pretty deep sub-

jects and they’re doing interest-ing things. But the things they care about are not always the kind you have an honest interest in.

C’mon, you’re probably not going to read arcane biographies. And you’re not going to bike a marathon in spandex before dinner. You wouldn’t cross the street for a Shakespearian endur-ance contest, let alone fly across the country for one.

What are you doing with such interesting friends? Better ques-tion: what are they doing with you?

Glenbrook North running back John Clark was down, but he wasn’t about to pack

it in.After fumbling the football at

the Niles North 16-yard line, he senior sat on the sideline. The wind had been knocked out of him, and the wind seemingly had been knocked out of the Spartans’ sails. They trailed the host Viking 30-21 with just 11:30 left in regulation in this Central Subur-ban League North showdown on Oct. 16.

“I kept thinking to myself, ‘Get up, get up. Keep on playing. Don’t let this stop you,’ ” Clark said. “It was all mental right there. I was beat up. I was bleeding. I almost puked. But my brain told me to keep on going, and I did.”

The next time he touched the ball, Clark gained 11 yards on a sweep. Three plays after that, he broke free on a wheel pattern and caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Burnside.

Clark later scored the game-winner, a 21-yard gain on a draw play with 1:28 left in the game.

GBN wound winning the game 34-31 to clinch the divi-sional title. The Spartans (7-1 overall, 4-0 CSL North) go into the season finale with Maine West on Oct. 23 looking to improve their seeding with the IHSA playoffs looming.

“I’m just proud that we came back,” said GBN head coach Bob Pieper, who watched his team rally from a 30-14 third-quarter deficit. “We told them in the meeting room before we came here that they would face adver-sity. (Niles North) is good. They’re talented and score a lot of points.”

Clark and his senior classmates have faced adversity before. Much of it came last season, when the Spartans struggled and missed the state playoffs.

“Last year, it was brutal,” Clark said. “But during the offseason, we used it as motivation to get better.”

Clark’s improvement in speed

is noticeable. Last season, he struggled to stay on the field. This year, he’s one of the centerpieces of the GBN offense.

Clark averaged close to 10 yards per carry against Niles North, gaining 215 yards on 23 attempts. The senior also caught three passes for 81 yards.

Clark now has 1,285 rushing yards on the season.

“He worked really hard in the weight room, he worked really hard with our speed coaches,”

Pieper said. “And he’s lost a little weight. He carries himself a lot better than last year.

“He’s faster, he’s stronger. Just in better shape,” the coach added.

Niles North jumped out to quick 14-0 lead, thanks to a suc-cessful onside kick that kept the GBN offense off the field. The Vikings very nearly succeeded on a second onside kick, but the Niles North kicker failed to kick the ball 10 yards.

Vikings running back Bar-

rington Wade actually outgained Clark with 243 rushing yards on 35 carries. A 31-yard Wade run put the Vikings up 14-0.

“We are a full family, even if the family is down, we’re going to pick each other up,” Clark said. “Even though we had a bad half, we are a family and we never give up.”

Notable: Junior quarterback Kevin Burnside (8-20-0, 162 yards) continues to be clutch. He

threw TD passes to Clark and Nick Karis. He also ran the ball 10 times for 57 yards with a TD.Karis had himself a day. He rushed the ball 14 times for 71 yards and one touchdown, while he caught two passes for 42 yards.

Mitch Schermerhorn was pro-ductive on both sides of the ball. On offense, the GBN senior had two catches for 33 yards and three rushes for 23 yards. On defense, he amassed seven solo tackles and 11 assists with two tackles for loss.

Patrick Strickland also stood out on defense: 12 tackles, includ-ing two for losses.

The team’s other tackle leaders were Gerry Luc (11), Milad Hos-seini (10), Brandon Tucker (8), Johnny Gilchrist (8), Dimitrije Milutinovic (8), Matt Pawlowski (8), Keegan Samuelson (7) and Alex Bubaris (6). Bubaris and Gilchrist had interceptions, while Samuelson had a forced fumble. Schermerhorn and Michael Karb recovered fumbles.

Glenbrook South senior wide receiver Jack Healy has an opportunity to play

at the next level, and he has plenty of highlights from this season to send to interested college coaches.

It’s safe to say his Oct. 2 touchdown grab against Maine South will be at or near the be-ginning of any highlight reel.

With the ball at the five-yard-line, Healy ran a fade pattern to the back of the end zone. Despite double coverage, the 6-foot-4 receiver reached up and secured quarterback Daniel Jenkins’ throw with one hand, pinning the ball against his helmet as he fell.

“It will go down in Glenbrook South football history as one of the greatest catches ever,” Titans longtime head coach Mike Noll said of the play that tied the score 7-7.

For much of that evening, the game also seemed like one for the ages, as the Titans went toe-to-toe with the powerhouse Hawks before losing 34-31 in overtime.

A victory over a Maine South squad that has not lost a league game since the year 2000, might have propelled Glenbrook South to great heights. Instead, the Titans (3-5, 1-3) will miss the postseason, a fate sealed by a 35-14 home loss to New Trier on Oct. 16.

But Healy’s contribution has been a major bright spot. After making little impact as a junior, Healy has become one of the area’s most dangerous receivers, entering Saturday’s season-fina-le at Waukegan with 55 catches for 774 yards and four touch-downs.

“Last year, (Healy) wasn’t fast enough, wasn’t big enough, wasn’t anything enough,” Noll said. “He had a really good off-season, worked hard, grew a lot and got stronger. He’s had a great season and can certainly go on and play in college. He has become a heckuva player.”

Healy is the latest in Glen-brook South’s line of talented big receivers, a list that goes back nearly a decade and includes the likes of 6-6 Dan Monckton, 6-4 Trent Monckton and 6-4 Cody Carroll.

When the 2014 season con-cluded, it seemed unlikely Healy ever would find himself men-tioned in the same breath as those other tall Titan receivers.

“(At the end of last year) the

coaches told me to work hard (in the offseason) and that they had confidence in me,” said Healy, who played at 6-2, 170 pounds as a junior. “But I don’t think they knew I would prog-ress this much.”

Healy grew two inches, added 20 pounds of muscle and im-proved his hands and speed, working regularly with a local sports performance company called TCBOOST.

“They came to (GBS) once a week during the summer and worked with us on our 40 times and on stride improvement,” Healy said. “I also changed my body and became a more com-plete athlete in the weight room.”

Healy said he was motivated by the desire to come through for his fellow Titans.

“I wanted to be there for my teammates and wanted them to

be able to rely on me,” he said. “I was in there (working out) every day before school. The days I didn’t want to go, I just thought about the year before and how I was not capable of making plays, and that I wanted to go out there and make plays. I never lost the drive to keep working.”

Healy has been consistently making plays all season, most notably in that Maine South game, where he finished with

seven catches for 70 yards. He also had a nine-catch, 148-yard, one-touchdown-performance in a 56-34 win over Niles West on Sept. 25.

Even Healy’s stats against New Trier (4 catches, 87 yards) were a bit misleading. Twice, New Trier defensive backs were called for pass interference against Healy, including one where Trevians talented defen-sive back Francis Fay tackled Healy to prevent what very likely would have been a 50-yard touchdown catch.

There was one stretch late in the second quarter when Healy seemed impossible to defend, catching consecutive passes of 15, 30 and 14 yards on a drive that resulted in a Titans’ touch-down, which brought them to within 14-7 at halftime.

“(Healy) is a very good re-ceiver and runs very good routes,” said Fay, who said he was a little surprised the Titans only threw in Healy’s direction four times in the second half. “Our biggest emphasis was to get hands on (Healy) and be physi-cal, especially against someone who has a height advantage on you.”

The Trevians had been well aware of Healy going into the game, using 6-4 senior receiver Calvin Montgomery to mimic the Titans’ big pass catcher in practice.

In recent months, several Di-vision III football programs also have had Healy on their radar screens, with programs like Il-linois Wesleyan and DePauw showing interest.

Healy said Glenbrook South assistant Dave Schoenwetter, a former quarterback at Division III Knox College, is helping with the recruiting process.

It’s a process, Healy admits, still in its early stages due to his relatively recent emergence as a major receiving threat.

“Last year, I really didn’t even think I would be in this posi-tion,” Healy said.

Loyola vs. St. Rita: Loyola quarterback Emmett Clifford had himself a day.

And so did Thomas Smart, David Terrell, Eric Eshoo, Jonah Issac, Dara Laja and Frank Doherty.

The St. Rita end zone was a popular place for the Ramblers (8-0) on National Boss Day (Oct. 16). In a 56-14 win over the Mustangs (3-5), Clifford completed 21 of 25 passes for 299 yards with no interceptions. He ended up tossing six touchdowns in this Chicago Catholic League Blue contest.

Smart (7 catches, 82 yards) hauled in a 13-yard TD pass to open the game’s scoring. He added a second TD catch (9 yards) a few minutes later.

Terrell, son of ex-Bears wide-out David Terrell, caught a 24-yard TD pass in the first quarter. He ended up with three catches for 56 yards.

Eshoo came up with a 33-yard TD reception midway through the second quarter. He made four catches for 74 yards.

Issac’s day featured seven catches for a team-best 87 yards. He caught two TD catches (37 and 6 yards) in the third quarter.

LA also had a pretty impressive ground game. Laja ran the ball 18 times for 177 yards. His long run went for 60 yards. His TD run went for six yards just before halftime.

Laja, who has accumulated 852 yards this fall, needs less than 100 yards (91, to be exact) to become the school’s all-time rushing leader.

Meanwhile, LA outside linebacker Frank Doherty also reached the end zone for the second time in two weeks. He returned a fumble 19 yards. A week earlier against DePaul Prep, he returned a blocked kick 40 yards.

Charlie Nikitas was a junior at the Class 3A state golf meet this time, wiser, more

comfortable, familiar with the surroundings and the hazards and the vibe. It certainly showed last weekend at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington. The evidence was right there on his scorecard, smaller numbers pro-ducing a significant result at a significant tournament.

The Glenbrook South Titan finished in a tie for 67th (85-78) at state last fall.

Nikitas placed sixth (76-77), an all-state place, in windy, chilly conditions this fall. Champion Justin Hemings, a senior at Ed-wardsville High School, shot a 74-71 at the par-72 venue on Oct. 16-17.

“I sort of learned how things go there, what to expect,” Nikitas, the lone Glenbrook South state qualifier, said of what he took from his experience at the 2014 state meet. “I used that knowledge. I handled the pressure better this time.”

Only two other Titans in program history had finished higher at a state meet than Nikitas did. Mark Holton topped the 1992 field at the Class AA meet, and Quinn Prchal took fourth at the 3A meet in 2011.

Nikitas was tied for ninth place after the first round on Oct. 16. He birdied the par-five ninth hole, giving him a one-over 37 at the turn. He birdied the par-three 17th, halting a string of four bogeys. In the second round he went par-par-par-par-par on his

final five holes. Steely, steady.“Charlie was consistent,” Titans

golf coach Steve Gale said. “He was unflappable.”

Nikitas’ ball striking was strik-ing, having hit, he figured, at least 15 greens in regulation on each day. Nearly every Nikitas drive rested on a fairway. His putter, though, bit him here, stung him there. His putt total was 37 on Friday, 38 on Saturday.

“Overall,” he summed, “a pretty solid weekend.”

His parents, Danny and Mar-

garet, walked all 36 holes last weekend, following their favorite golfer around the Arnold Palmer Signature layout. Both, like all spectators, were not allowed to offer advice. Nikitas instead re-ceived nods and fist bumps from his father.

Nikitas’ plan early this week was to take a few days off from golf and make up the school work he missed because of his postsea-son success. He’ll get the itch, no doubt, to whack tee shots again later this month. Birds like to fly;

Nikitas likes to shoot for birdies.“I’ll be out there on a course,

as long as it’s not snowing,” he said.

If it is, there’s always the Nikitas garage. The car abode doubles as a hitting area, home to a net, a big mat and a simula-tor. Nikitas often works on his putting in the basement at home.

“I’ll work on all aspects of my game this winter,” Nikitas said, adding he’ll likely play in an Arizona tournament in December.

GLENBROOK SOUTH’S NIKITAS CLAIMS ALL-STATE HONORSBY BILL MCLEAN, [email protected]

SUNDAY BREAKFAST


BY SIMON MURRAY

I t was a brisk fall morning when Jack Greenberg and his wife, Donna, agreed to meet me for

breakfast at Country Kitchen in Highland Park. Once inside, we were seated at a wooden booth.

Green clovers ran zigzag along the wallpaper. Every once in a while the clink of silverware on glass announced a toast that never came. The server that took our order wore overalls.

She returned with an armada of plates: large ones, small ones, ones carrying toast, ones with jam, English muffins, eggs—they kept coming. She even by acci-dent gave us another table’s order, so possessed was she in her desire to completely cover our table in plates. If the Green-berg’s were concerned, they certainly didn’t show it. Jack, who was eating one of their cranium-sized omelets, alter-nately sipped on a coffee; Donna had scrambled eggs.

A galaxy of plates lay before us, with constellations branching into infinity.

They had both received a warm welcome from the staff at Country Kitchen. The reason: the couple has lived in town for 38 years and come often. I dug deeper. Jack relented that, during his tenure as CEO of McDon-ald’s, he took a superstar basket-ball player out for a late business breakfast to Country Kitchen. (Hint: his initials are MJ.)

However the biggest celeb-rity he ever met was a 65 million year old carnivore, who just so happened to be the catalyst behind his philanthropic in-volvement with Chicago’s Field Museum.

There is no way the dinosaur nicknamed “Sue” could’ve been more popular in her lifetime. She certainly couldn’t have had more suitors. After her remains were

uncovered in the Badlands of South Dakota, seized by FBI agents and the National Guard, and eventually deposited at So-theby’s in New York—every natural history museum had come calling. To date she is the largest, most complete, best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered; and back then ev-e r y o n e wanted her.

The Field Museum had to act fast. They couldn’t come up with the funds alone, so they sent envoys in person to companies and private citizens. Luckily, one of these fortuitous delegates ended up across from Jack Greenberg’s desk. At the time, Jack was in a lofty position that could theoretically offer assis-tance—as president of McDon-ald’s USA.

On October 4, 1997 the auction began. Less than 10 minutes later, The Field Museum purchased Sue for $8.4 million with the help of McDonald’s, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and other corporations and in-stitutions. She’s now, of course, on permanent display inside the museum—all 42 feet long from snout to tail of her.

“Nobody had any budget for [it],” said Jack—now retired—recalling the conversation he had all those years ago. “Nobody budgets to buy a dinosaur.”

Since helping to secure a do-nation for Sue, the Greenbergs have been philanthropically as-sociated with the Field Museum. Donna was recruited by one of her friends, and now sits on the Women’s Board. Jack has served on the Board of Trustees, with brief stints as member of the Field Museum’s Audit Commit-tee and Executive Committee.

On Friday, October 23—or when this paper is published—the Women’s Board will host its 49th annual gala, “The Wonders of China,” which will celebrate the Cyrus Tang Hall of China, the Field Museum’s newest per-

manent exhibit. (The black tie event is being chaired this year by Donna.) Attendees will mingle under Sue’s banana-long serrated teeth, and eat dinner next to the fighting African elephants in Stanley Field Hall.

Underneath their feet, several floors down, attendees will un-knowingly (or knowingly) be standing above over 24 million meticulously arranged and labeled specimens that The Field Museum has collected, stored, and preserved over the years. The proceeds from the gala will support The Field Museum’s public learning and research programs, which, in turn, will ensure such important research can continue.

As of last Monday, Donna and the Women’s Board—with

the help of the Board of Trust-ees—had raised over $1.8 million. Not enough, maybe, to buy a dinosaur; but certainly en route to help bolster the pro-grams that the museum depends on.

“It’s good—you feel good when you accomplish some-

thing and help them in that way,” said Donna.

Together, the philanthropic couple also oversees The Donna and Jack Greenberg Charitable

Trust, which is a major sup-porter of educational

projects in and around Chicago, including Jack’s alma mater—DePaul University. The Greenberg’s endow the

school’s College of Edu-cation, specifically a

program called “Facing History and Ourselves” that helps teachers deal with issues

of tolerance and social justice in schools.When the couple first met,

Jack came from the south side, Donna from the north. “And we met in the middle,” said Jack. They met in a jewelry store on Jeweler’s Row. “She thought I owned a part of the store and I thought she could afford the merchandise.”

Now the Greenberg’s are one of the most active philanthrop-ic couples in the city. Donna sits on too many boards to count, and Jack serves on both DePaul’s Board of Trustees and is chair-man of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Board of Directors, after being recom-mended for the role by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Gov. Pat Quinn four years ago.

On the second floor of the Field Museum, encased in glass, a disembodied T. rex head is barring her teeth. Or perhaps, just maybe, she’s smiling a toothy grin.
