Lake Bluff slows Airbnb growth BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

hort-term rentals of residential property will soon come to a halt at least temporarily for private homes in Lake Bluff as the village studies potential regulations. The Village Board of Trustees directed the Plan Commission & Zoning Board of Appeals to develop a report on regulations for short-term rentals during a meeting of its Committee of the Whole May 8 at Village Hall. The board also directed Village Administrator Drew Irvin and Peter Friedman, village attorney, to craft cease and desist orders to homeowners renting rooms or their entire property through Airbnb. The order will create a moratorium until the village determines how to control the practice. As of May 8, there were five property owners in Lake Bluff using Airbnb to rent rooms or their Continued on PG 12

When Mother’s Day is every day Sherwood Elementary School teacher will carry on traditions after mom’s retirement BY JULIE KEMP PICK DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

tudents at Sherwood Elementary School are saying goodbye to Mrs. Uribe, a third grade Spanish teacher who is retiring this spring. But they’ll still be able to see Ms. Uribe in the hallways and in the language resource center. Confused? Laurie Uribe fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a teacher by going back to school to get her master’s degree after she and her family spent four years in Columbia. Her daughter Nathalia Uribe, a bilingual resource teacher, initially thought about becoming a psychologist or an artist, but like any good student, she learned by example. “After my mom started in North Shore School District 112, I became a teacher’s assistant and realized how much I loved working with kids,” said Nathalia. “Then I decided to pursue education. She’s definitely the driving force for education.” Although Nathalia has been in the district for over 10 years, she’s in her second year of teaching. She plans to continue to impart her mom’s wisdom at Sherwood. Laurie is clearly proud of her

daughter, the only bilingual resource teacher at Sherwood. Oak Terrace is the only other D-112 elementary school that features bilingual resource teachers. Laurie taught special education before she came to Sherwood. Laurie said she fell in love with the dual language program. “It’s not only the bilingualism, it’s the biculturalism. The fact that my daughter and I are here encouraging our children to look beyond the walls of the school to realize that there’s so much to

learn, to see and accept about our country, and about our world. It’s a truly important message.” Laurie was born in Colombia and brought to the U.S. as a child. At home the rule was to speak Spanish, so she and her siblings became fluent in Spanish. Her husband is also from Colombia, and the couple agreed that their children needed to be bilingual. “Now we’re on to the third generation of bilingual family members,” she said about Nathalia’s seven-year-old daughter,

who reads, writes and speaks in Spanish, and eighth-month-old twin girls. Nathalia moved with her family to Colombia when she began high school in 1996, and the family returned to Morton Grove in 2000. Her mom explained how the Colombians celebrate Mother’s Day. “Being that Colombia is very Catholic, the month of May is the month of the Virgin Mary. However, Mother’s Day is celebrated very similar to here, but

children at any age do anything in their power to be with their mom,” she said. “Mothers are an important figure in Latin America in general. It’s a family oriented day.” Laurie treats her students like family and cherishes the letters she’s received from former students. “Last week a former student who’s a junior at Deerfield High School wrote that she’s going Continued on PG 12

who do so much for others and their community,” Martin’s mother, Tracy, told DailyNorthShore. For Lulu Witcoff of Glencoe, her commitment to volunteering was inspired by her mother. Witfcoff said her mother always found time to volunteer, all while working full time. She noted that at age 91, her mother even took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

After reading an article about animal assisted therapy, Witcoff decided to get involved with Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy.

- I could never put in what I have gotten out of working for Rainbow,” Witcoff told DailyNorthShore. Witcoff, an attorney, also volunteers at The Center for Conflict Resolution (CCR) which manages and resolves conflict through pro bono services. She has a special interest in the nonprofit juvenile victim-offender program, which allows juvenile offenders to participate in mediation sessions to repair the relationships affected by their crime. “The people who work at CCR are an amazing group of people and I learn something new every day. I feel privileged to be among them,” Witcoff said. Like Witcoff, Becky Kimbell of Evanston was inspired by a parent to volunteer. As a child she helped her father deliver food and clothing to underserved communities in St. Louis, where she grew up. Her father coordinated with a man named Otis Woodward, who took it upon himself to make sure the kids in his neighborhood got what they needed. “Witnessing my dad’s commitment and Mr. Woodward’s passion

— and seeing first-hand the impoverished circumstances of kids my own age — had a lasting impact on me,” Kimbell said. She volunteers at the adoption agency The Cradle, managing its holiday gift program that impacts 160 children and 50 low-income parents and families. She also helped establish the Chicago branch of Random Acts of Flowers, which helps improve the emotional health and well-being of individuals in healthcare facilities by delivering recycled flowers, encouragement and personal moments of kindness. By honoring these four dedicated women, The Volunteer Center hopes to inspire others to do the same. Kimbell referred to this very idea in expressing her gratitude in receiving the honor: “I’m honored to be recognized by The Volunteer Center, but I am just one of millions of people all around the world who lend a hand in one way or another everyday. Hopefully some day someone will be inspired by the work that I do, just as I was inspired as a child.”

Sixteen people from the standing room only crowd of more than 80 told the board what they wanted to see. Of those who spoke, 11 opposed the idea altogether, two had mixed feelings and three favored it - including McKechney. “I don’t stay in the home when I rent it,” said McKechney. “I rent it 30 plus days a year and it is a wonderful experience. I’ve never had a bad experience with any of my guests.” Julie Astbury Capps, who lives adjacent to one of the properties that use Airbnb — not the one belonging to McKechney — said she is concerned with what is happening around her home and wants to see it stop. She said the practice is growing. “We’ve had two for the last two years,” said Capps. “We’ve had three more in the last seven months. People are in shock. This is not something you want next to you.” The precise timing of the issuance of the cease and desist orders is uncertain.

North Shore Sports Club donates Kevlar vests to firefighters BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

orth Shore Sports Club, a shooting range located in Lake Forest, donated three ballistic vests to Knollwood Fire Department. “We wanted to make sure they are safe. Safety and training are most important to us. We want to make sure our public

servants are covered,” Kasey Morgan, an events planner for North Shore Sports Club, told DailyNorthShore. North Shore Sports Club is located in unincorporated Lake Forest and is typically covered by Libertyville’s fire department, but Knollwood Fire Department is the second unit that would respond in an emergency at the club. Knollwood is an all-volunteer fire department. “They are grateful for the donation. It was something that their budget doesn’t allow,” Morgan explained. The vests cost about $800 a piece. Knollwood will use the vests immediately in training exercises, Morgan said. As a former dispatcher who

now works for the Lake Forest Police Department with the Police Foundation, Morgan is aware of how important these vests are to safety of firefighters. Her husband, Todd Morgan, who is the director of North Shore Sports Club, also supports the donation of the vests. “It was something that was important to both of us,” she said. Morgan is excited that North Shore Sports Club can do something to make it safer for the volunteers at the Knollwood Fire Department. “I have a lot of friends who are on the Knollwood Fire Department and I can’t imagine anyone going into a scene that was unsecured,” she said.

Schoenheider moved to Lake Forest with his family 15 years ago; he is as an executive with Hillwood Properties, which develops and acquires commercial real estate. His civic involvement began quickly. Starting as a member of the Lake Forest Caucus, Schoenheider was soon serving on the Building Review Board and eventually became chair. After that he was an alderman before becoming mayor.

Lake Forest Hospital getting ready to open, the housing development under construction at Laurel and Western Avenues, the restoration of Forest Park, more diverse housing, closer ties with Lake Forest College and the resurgence of Market Square. “It’s become a 365-day-a-year community gathering place,” Schoenheider said of Market Square. “There are events like the tree lighting and Thursday in the Square, but now you see people there at all different times.”

Were he to remain in office longer, Schoenheider said he would continue to work with the council to find ways to ease the growing public-employee pension liability while maintaining the high level of public safety. He said it is a longterm issue. Another project Schoenheider said he would like to help bring to conclusion is construction of a pedestrian underpass at the west train station and eventually see Amtrak stop there. He would want to ensure current Amtrak

expansion proposals do not impact nearby residents with added freight traffic. Issues like Amtrak and pensions have thrust Schoenheider into a role as the Lake Forest’s liaison with state and federal officials like Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield), former Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth), state Sen. Julie Morrison (DDeerfield) and state Rep. Scott Drury (D-Highwood). He said he finds them all receptive regardless of party affiliation.

“We’re working together to help the people we serve,” said Schoenheider. Some think the mayor’s office in Lake Forest is a volunteer position. It is not. “I get paid $10 a year,” Schoenheider said. With the end of his term, Schoenheider said he is looking forward to more time with his family but he will miss public service. “It’s been a joy,” said Schoenheider. “It really has been.”

NORTH SHORE FOODIE

Life is sweet and savory at Three Tarts BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

t’s hard to argue with the motto of Three Tarts Bakery and Cafe: “Everything is good here.” Everything is good there, where customers can choose from a wide selection of homemade baked goods, savory fare and beautifully decorated cakes on any given day. Opened 19 years ago in March by three friends, Ann Heinz and Kate Rooney remain the dynamic duo behind the Northfield operation, while former business partner Mari Coyne has moved on to other projects. It’s always been in the same location, a cozy yet cheerful shop that seats between 30-35 people. “(We’ve) clearly settled in pretty well since it is going on 20 years,” Christina Ito, webmaster, told DailyNorthShore. Rooney is the creative force behind Three Tart’s garden cakes, popular for almost any special occasion. “There will always be garden cakes. That is the Three Tarts’ signature,” Ito said. Each garden cake is custom designed, either in a wreath style or an on-stem pattern as the base. The wreath style has colorful flowers around the cake in the shape of a wreath, while an on-stem pattern has flower stems that appear to grow out of the base of the cake. Rooney keeps the cakes seasonal, decorating with the flowers and plants that grow in season. Customers can always find slices of best-ever banana cake, county fair chocolate cake and a Business partners Kate Rooney (left) and Ann Heinz at Three Tarts Bakery Cafe in Northfield.

GAME CHANGER All of sudden, long-time catcher Turelli finds a second home on the mound BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

n the offseason, Paul Turelli tested a hypothesis. It probably went something like this: He picked up a baseball, went to a pitcher’s mound and started chucking. Well, what do you know? The kid can pitch. He can really hurl it. Bullpen sessions make for good laboratories. And this experiment couldn’t have gone any better for the Lake Forest High School senior. Could it be that the catcher’s mask had concealed Turelli’s true baseball identity? Maybe. But only partly. Turelli opened the 2017 season as the starting catcher and No. 4 hitter. And he’s flourished — and continues to flourish — in those roles for the Scouts. But the buzz? That comes, when the 6-foot-4, 195-pound righthander toes the rubber. He’s been a revelation. Touching 89 on the radar gun, Turelli started out as a lights-out closer. And now, he’s the staff ace. Live arms like his are hard to find. They’re even harder to harness. “He’s gone beyond our expectations,” said Lake Forest head coach Ray Del Fava. “He’s done more than we ever thought he would do.” In five starts and four relief appearances, Turelli is 1-1 with three saves. In 31.2 innings, he has recorded 36 strikeouts while walking 15 and allowing 20 hits. His earned run average is 2.87. His WHIP is 1.105. “What has impressed us is how he can throw multiple pitches for strikes,” Del Fava said. “He throws hard and then backs that up with a pretty good curve ball.” Here’s the obvious question: why did it take him so long to make his way to the mound? Turelli certainly took a long, circuitous route to the bump, especially when you consider that he comes from a baseball family. A family of pitchers, no less. Lenny, his dad, pitched and played outfield at LFHS (1980 graduate) before moving on to play Big Ten baseball at the University of Iowa.

Two of his older brothers, Luke and Mark, are former pitchers with the Scouts, while his younger brother, Peter, a sophomore, currently is the prized prospect in LF’s starting varsity rotation. “I guess he wanted a part of the action,” said LF pitching coach Bill

San Hamel. “This started out as a project,” San Hamel added. “After committing himself to pitching over the summer, he came to tryouts wanting to pitch. And after seeing his mechanics, you could tell that we weren’t starting from scratch.”

Coming into this season, the last time Turelli threw from a windup was in the seventh-grade, as a member of a Scouts feeder team. “Back when [ex-LFHS head baseball and football coach] Tommy Myers was my [feeder] coach,” said Turelli.

During those early years, Turelli devoted himself totally to catching. Then, a light bulb went on. Or, was it a distress signal? “This was all his idea,” said Del Fava. “He saw what we had coming back, and he thought he could help out [the pitching staff ].” “I’ve always had a pretty good arm,” said Turelli, who has a threepitch repertoire (fastball, slider, changeup). “So I thought I’d give it a shot. Why not? “And so far,” he added, “it’s going pretty well.” On May 8, in a game at Mundelein High School, Turelli got the dream assignment. The pitching match-up? The Rookie vs. The Veteran. Turelli vs. Arizona State-bound Brendan Murphy. Edge: Murphy. But not by much. The hard-throwing, left-handed Murphy came out on top by allowing only four hits — a hustling double down the left-field line by Caleb Durbin and solid singles by Andrew Gough, Drew Golde and Brad Czerniejewski — in a 3-0 Mundelein victory. He finished with 13 strikeouts and no walks. Like Murphy, Turelli looked … unmistakably like an ace. “Paul showed pretty well,” said San Hamel. “He looked polished and poised. He embraced the challenge.” Turelli went the distance and, like Murphy, gave up just four hits. He had 6 Ks and allowed no free passes. “To be honest, what he’s done hasn’t surprised me at all,” said senior catcher/designated hitter Andrew Athenson. “But for him to have solid command of all of his pitches is kind of unusual for someone who hasn’t pitched in five or six years,” Athenson added. “He’s pumping it in 88-89 miles per hour with a lot of movement. Then, he comes back with a curve ball that’s pretty unbelievable. It makes him very hard to hit.” In watching him against the Mustangs, it was hard to detect his pitching absenteeism. Turelli has the composure and make-up of a veteran hurler. “With his size and strength,

he’s got a great profile for a pitcher,” said San Hamel. “He’s got the skill set. “And what has really impressed me is his consistency,” San Hamel added. “He’s done nothing but take steps forward. If he continues to develop his craft, he’s got potential to pitch at the next level.” Turelli worked both sides of the plate against the Mustangs. And he did a good job of mixing up his pitches. “I think that all of the catching I’ve done has helped my pitching,” said Turelli. Meanwhile, Turelli’s bat has never been more potent. He’s hitting .333 with 14 runs batted in. He’s gone yard twice and has a slugging percentage of .476. “There’s pressure hitting No. 4,” said Turelli. “You definitely feel like you have to step up.” And his work behind the plate has been sturdy. Which brings us to one of the other interesting storylines with this team. Every fifth day or so, Del Fava turns in a fairly unique lineup card: P. Turelli pitching, P. Turelli catching. And how’s that been working out? Can you say, “with flying colors?” On May 3, Peter Turelli started and went five strong innings in an 8-1 win over visiting Zion-Benton. The kid has a team-best 3-2 record with a 2.18 ERA. Notable: Leadoff hitter Caleb Durbin is leading the Scouts in hitting this spring. The junior shortstop is batting .486 with nine extra basehits, 27 runs and 19 RBIs. In LF’s 9-3 road win against Kenosha St. Joseph on May 6, he had a rare inside-the-park grand slam. He then followed that up with a hustling opposite-field triple. … The team’s offensive leaders include Charlie Reinkemeyer (.354, 12 RBIs), Drew Gold (.315, 5 doubles, 12 RBIs), Brad Czerniejewski (.284, 15 runs, 11 RBIs) and Andrew Gough (.275). … Jason Cast has developed into a solid hurler: 1-1, 2.15 ERA. One of his best outings came in a 4-2 win over visiting Zion-Benton on May 4. He allowed three hits and struck out five over six innings.

MONEY RUNNER Noethlich proves to be a valued performer in New Trier’s distance corps BY KEVIN REITERMAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

ometimes, you reap. Sometimes, you invest. By her own admission — and by her own standards — New Trier junior Savannah Noethlich had just an “okay day” at the Central Suburban League South girls track and field championships at Niles North on May 4. But after doing yeoman’s work — competing in the 4x800 relay, 400 meters and 4x400 relay — Noethlich built plenty of collateral for future meets. Putting her legs to the test is exactly what she’s looking to do — each time out. “I’m a junior. It’s time for me to come out of my shell,” Noethlich said. “It’s time for me to take some risks.” Her efforts — first-place finishes in the two relays and fourth in the 400 — helped New Trier take the league title for the third straight year. The Trevians tallied 180 ½ points to easily outscore runner-up Glenbrook South (112 points). The “Race of the Meet” unquestionably belonged to NT’s Marne Sullivan. The sophomore star came up with a standingovation performance in the anchor lap of the 4x400 relay, when she came from way back — trailing by at least 20 yards at the race’s final exchange — to sprint past Evanston’s anchor at the finish line. The winning time was 4:04.05. The second-place time was 4:04.34. “Marne just took off. Incredible,” said Noethlich, who competed in the relay along with Molly Schmidt and Grace McManus. “She made up a pretty big gap.” Sullivan had that extra gear all night. She won the 400 in 59.05 and the 800 in 2:21.18. “We expect big things from Marne,” said New Trier head coach Robert Spagnoli. “I think the rest of the state is taking notice.” Sullivan was New Trier’s lone triple winner. The double winners included senior sprinter Kate Holly (12.52 in the 100, 26.03 in the 200) and senior thrower Yeji An (111-5 in the discus, 29-8 in

the shot put). NT sophomore Sidney Kunkler just missed claiming two titles. She measured 35-4 in the triple jump to edge Glenbrook South’s Annie Streb (35-3 1/5), while she took runner-up honors in the long jump (16-10 ¼), losing by a mere inch to GBS’s Raelyn Roberson (16-11 ¼). Meanwhile, one of the gemstone events for New Trier continues to be the 4x800 relay. Thus, it was no surprise that the Trevian foursome of Noethlich, Grace Fagan, Carolyn Trukenbrod and Molly Schmidt rocked the CSL South competition last Thursday, winning the race by more than 15 seconds (9:29.16). Getting it done in this distance relay is nothing new. Last spring, Noethlich, Fagan and Trukenbrod teamed with Kelli Schmidt to finish fifth (9:19.04) in the Class 3A state meet in Charleston. In 2015, Noethlich and Fagan combined forces with Molly Schmidt and Kelli Schmidt to place 11th at state. The goal now is to equal what Mimi Smith, Jessica Ackerman, Courtney Ackerman and Kathleen Keane accomplished in 2013: 1st in state (9:04.86). It’s not out of reach. Doing something big is very doable. And the underrated Noethlich no doubt will play a major role. “She knows what’s expected of her,” said Spagnoli. “She’s that calming influence. The other runners look to her [for leadership]. “And what I like about Savannah is that she sets high goals,” the coach added. “She’s an extremely hard worker.” Noethlich, at this time, might not be a headliner, but what she does on the track is invaluable. NT distance coach John Burnside describes her as a “born racer.” He loves her preparedness and mental toughness. “She doesn’t want to lose any part of a race,” Burnside said. “She goes into a race with a primary plan, along with a back-up plan. She’s so cognizant of developing her race. She steadily improves.

the top five included Grace Fagan (3rd in 1600), Leah Ulrich (4th in 1600), Carla McCanna (4th in 200, 5th in 100), Rebecca Goldman (4th in long jump, 5th in triple jump), Sarah Morton (4th in pole vault), Cara Kelleher (4th in 3200) and Carolyn Trukenbrod (4th in 800). The Trevians also took second in two relays: 4x100 and 4x200 with McCanna, Kate Holly, Sidney Kunkler and McKenna Fox. Lake Forest Hard to beat this. In helping Lake Forest to a first-place showing in the North Suburban Conference Meet at Zion-Benton on May 4, junior Emma Milburn went 4-for-4. Milburn raced to first-place finishes in the 800 (2:18.4) and 1600 (5:21.78). She also was a part of two winning relays: 4x400 (4:09.44) and 4x800 (10:02.66). The Scouts, who scored 121 points to beat runner-up Warren (104), also received stellar work from Haley Click and Olivia Vallone. Click claimed top honors in the 300 hurdles (46.86) while placing second in the 200 meters (1:02.60). She also was a member of two winning relays: 4x100 (50.53) and 4x400. Vallone was the 100 hurdles champ (15.82).

‘STICK’-ING WITH IT Senior middle sets positive tone for youthful LFHS volleyball team BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

ollowing a home volleyball match last week, Lake Forest High School senior middle blocker Brian Stickler picked up at least six empty water and Gatorade bottles. He cradled them on his way to a trash bin. The 6-foot-4, 185-pounder — a basketball player in the winter — then released them. The tumbling containers hit nothing but …. the bottom of the bin. Waste swishes. “I don’t like a dirty gym,” Stickler said. “And why should [a janitor] clean up after us? We’re the ones responsible for the empty bottles, right?” Back in February, Stickler attended a school dance held in the main gym. The event featured a bubble machine. Stickler looked up at one of the basketball backboards on that night and noticed something disturbing. “The bubbles,” he recalled, “had left streaks [of liquid] on it. I thought about getting up there and cleaning that backboard. “I also saw scuff marks on the court. I was not happy.” Scouts varsity volleyball coach Steve Wolf, for one, would have been upset had Stickler decided not to lace ’em up and hit the hardwood for his spikers this spring. Stickler nearly chose to rest his knees for his last few months at LFHS rather than use them to elevate for blocks. “His basketball season was a pretty long one, and he was banged up,” Wolf said. “I’d heard he was thinking about not coming out for volleyball this year. I told him, ‘You’re the kind of individual who has the opportunity to set a positive tone for a young group like ours.’ I also mentioned that he would have a lasting impact on teammates because of his ideal demeanor and ability to establish the kind of culture our program needs.” Stickler — who hopes to earn a spot as a walk-on basketball player at Purdue, his parents’ (Carolann and Paul) alma mater — listened to Wolf ’s ardent pitch. The words convinced Stickler to show up for the first day of the volleyball season on March 6. “After that,” Stickler said, “I

returned the second day. I had to; I’m not a quitter. I’ve never been that kind of guy.” It has been a bumpy spring for Wolf ’s Scouts, who slipped to 6-20 (0-5 in the North Suburban Conference) with a 25-23, 19-25, 25-22 loss to visiting Zion-Benton on May 3. Injuries forced Lake Forest to play without starting sophomore setter Justin McCartney and senior backup setter Max Doerfler against the Zee-Bees. Opposite hitter Kevin Lamp — another Scouts sophomore on varsity — smacked a team-high 18 kills with a hitting percentage

of .351 in the NSC match. Junior outsider hitter Joseph Chamberlain struck six kills, and junior libero Jacob Danneker finished with a team-best 11 digs. “Brian,” Wolf said, “has been a tremendous presence for us, especially when we practice. Brian pushes his teammates to be better players. He’s an athlete who plays volleyball, and he’s an athlete with leadership abilities. He continues to be a stellar example for all of our young guys.” The youngest guy on the court — at the Midtown Athletic Club in Bannockburn — was always

Brian Stickler, back in his days as a seventh-grader. Stickler and his father played early-morning basketball games there, sometimes twice a week. Paul Stickler grew up while playing hoops in Minnesota. His son’s favorite professional sports teams are the Twins, the Vikings and the Wild — Minnesota franchises. Though his favorite NBA player is former Timberwolves and Celtics big man Kevin Garnett, Brian Stickler roots for the Milwaukee Bucks. “I’ve never liked Chicago sports teams,” said Stickler, who

likes to read books by action adventure and suspense novelist Nelson DeMille. Bring up DeMille around Stickler, and Stickler will ask you if you’ve read Plum Island. The other avid DeMille fan in the family? Carolann Stickler. “My mom got me interested in reading when I was a first- or second-grader,” Stickler said. “I’ve enjoyed reading ever since; we talk about books we’ve read. I love the sarcastic tone DeMille uses in his books.” The plot in a Lake Forest-

Libertyville boys basketball game two winters ago thickened twice. The Scouts — down by 20 points at one point — survived that road battle in double overtime, with Stickler often disrupting the passing lanes as the top man in a 1-3-1 zone defense. He also scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the thriller. This past winter, in another game against Libertyville, Stickler popped for his first varsity dunk and finished with 17 points. He averaged nearly nine points per game and paced the Scouts in rebounds (116) and blocks (16) in 2016-17. “He’s not just a serious athlete who shows composure when he competes,” Lamp said after a recent volleyball match. “Brian has a sense of what needs to be said and done in front of his teammates. Good leaders do that. “At first,” Lamp added, “Brian came across as a little intimidating to me. But it didn’t take me long to realize he’s a good guy, a nice guy, a down-to-earth guy.” The guy with a knack for gathering scattered bottles in his school’s main gym isn’t exactly a stickler for cleanliness at home. “My room,” Stickler said with a smile, “is a mess.” Stickler later showed his earnest side as he looked around his school’s main gym last week and reflected on his years as a two-sport athlete at LFHS. “I have probably spent more time in this gym than I have at home in the last few years,” said Stickler, who envisions a career in a sports-related business after his years at Purdue. “Playing sports has meant everything to me. I wouldn’t be the person I am now had I not had my experiences in sports. The basketball and volleyball teammates I’ve gotten to know really well — they’ll be my lifelong friends.” Notable: Lake Forest went 2-3 and finished in 11th place at the 16-team Glenbrook North Tournament last weekend. The Scouts (8-23) beat Evanston in straight sets and Elk Grove in three. LF freshman Brennan Marzella recorded his varsity kill and block in a loss to Glenbard West.

L & L NET THE BIG W Highland Park’s Lew, Learner capture doubles title at prestigious invite BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

hose who blinked at the start of a doubles match at last weekend’s Deerfield Tennis Invitational missed quite a performance. Highland Park High School senior Brandon Lew and sophomore Jeremy Learner needed little time to dismiss Hinsdale Central’s Trevor Hamilton and Andrew Buhelos in a semifinal in the 1st/2nd doubles bracket on May 6. The Giants duo — seeded third — thumped the top-seeded pair of Red Devils 6-0, 6-0. You’ve heard the hissing sound the lid of a can of tennis balls makes when it’s opened. Rumor has it that the echo of that sound was still audible as the doubles teams shook hands at the conclusion of the match. “Our guys were clicking, executing everything very well,” Giants boys tennis coach Steve Rudman said. “Both were hungry against a very good team.” Their appetite for winning continued in the championship match, as Lew/Learner downed New Trier’s Reed Bianucci/Jake Zipoli 6-2, 6-3. It was Lew/ Learner’s sixth straight win this spring — after an 0-2 start. “They lost energy early; we established momentum and kept it,” Lew — Illinois State-bound and half (with 2016 graduate and Brandeis University freshman David Aizenberg) of the thirdplace doubles team at state last spring — said of that swift semifinal last weekend. Lew/Learner committed fewer than 10 unforced errors in the rout. Victories don’t get much cleaner than that. “The way we played, how well we played together, was ridiculous,” said Learner, who teamed with Lew for a handful of doubles matches last year before qualifying for the state meet as a singles player. An abdominal injury kept Highland Park senior Jonny Raab — Lew’s No. 1 doubles partner for a portion of the season, while Learner pounded groundstrokes at No. 2 singles — out of Rudman’s lineup last weekend. The coach went with a makeshift combo for his other 1st/2nd

teammates 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4, highlighting NT’s team championship at the eight-team gathering. NT racked up 60 points to runner-up Stevenson’s 52. “Lots of big serves and a lot of poaching,” Ryan said, referring to his and Parry’s style of play. “We both like the net, and we both like to hit big shots.” NT junior Reed Bianucci and sophomore Jake Zipoli reached the final at 1st/2nd doubles, while Trevian Peter Leutz — seeded eighth at 1st/2nd singles — contributed a fourth-place showing. Leutz upset fourthseeded Will Zordani of Lake Forest High School in a three-set quarterfinal.

Photographer forever focused on capturing the essence of her subjects “It had manual everything,” Kaplan says. In the summer before her freshman year in high school, Kaplan attended an overnight camp, where she entered a photo contest. She snapped a shot of an antique wagon resting in the woods. “I had no idea what I was doing,” she recalls. Kaplan won the contest. She developed more of an interest in photography in high school, thanks to Mr. Stupple, her photography teacher for three years. Remember dark rooms? Kaplan does. Processes of enlightenment unfolded for her in them. “Mr. Stupple gave me confidence behind the camera,” Kaplan says. “You’re not going to believe this, but as I flipped through my yearbook at the time

he ill boy was wearing a dark sleeveless T-shirt when professional photographer Julie Kaplan entered his Chicago hospital room several years ago. The cancer patient’s right wrist was covered with medical “jewelry” — a plastic ID bracelet and two other bands, with one likely serving as a device to monitor his condition. “The lighting in that room was horrible and sad, with no art on the walls,” recalls Kaplan, who owns Julie Kaplan Photography — a boutique portrait studio in her home in Highland Park — but had visited the hospital that day as a Flashes of Hope volunteer. Flashes of Hope, a nonprofit founded in 2001 with chapters in 55 cities, photographs more than 50 percent of children annually diagnosed with cancer in the United States. Kaplan smiled at the boy and — after setting up a makeshift studio in a corner of the drab room — loosened him up even more when she shouted, “Show me what you’ve got!” The boy responded with a tight-lipped and confident smile, raised both of his arms and flexed. In a flash, he had turned into a boxer during a weigh-in session. Kaplan clicked, clicked, clicked. “Many of the families with the sick children I’ve photographed had never had a portrait taken of anybody in the family,” says Kaplan. “We donate these blackand-white photos to the families because black-and-white photos are timeless, and, in many cases, they’re taken at a crucial time in the child’s life. A photo session for a child in a hospital is also a special day; it breaks up the monotony of a typical hospital day. “Flashes of Hope,” the 52-yearold adds, “is near and dear to my heart. I love being able to create a meaningful memory and art for a family in need.”

It is weeks before Mother’s Day 2017, and Kaplan — a 1983 Deerfield High School graduate and mother of two sons (Ari, 22, and Noah, 19) — orders an egg-white vegetable omelet, a fruit cup and caffeine-free diet coke with a lemon at Country Kitchen in Highland Park. One of her favorite photographs of Noah hangs on a wall among nine other black-and-white family images at her house/ studio. The photo is of a 4-yearold Noah blowing a dandelion. “It’s an emotional connection for me, each time I see it,” says Kaplan, an Indiana University graduate who worked in advertising and social work before becoming a full-time photographer 16 years ago. “And now he’s all grown up; both of my babies are all grown up — and they’re nice people. You’d like them. “Too many times,” she adds, “pictures of young children are

taken by the mother. Every mom should have a photo taken of her with her children. A photo like that can clearly capture the special connection a mother has with her kids. If you’re wondering how much a mother loves her children, you only have to look

at a photo of her with her children.” Kaplan was a child — an eighth-grader, to be exact — when her grandfather, Arthur Robinson, gave her a camera and taught her how to use it. It had manual focus.

of my 3 0 t h h i g h s c h o o l re u n i on , I noticed Mr. Stupple had written, ‘One day you’ll be a family photographer.’ I later wrote him a letter thanking him for all that he did for me in high school. I’m not sure the letter got to him. “I hope it did.” Much of Kaplan’s recent focus, professionally, has been on personal branding — a must for many who rely on social media

to survive and thrive. Clients interested in updating their LinkedIn photos contact Kaplan. A woman, going through a rough patch in her personal life and about to launch her business, contacted Kaplan and made a declaration: “I need to find myself.” Kaplan went to the woman’s house and picked out seven outfits. The two then traveled to Kaplan’s house/studio, where a hairstylist and makeup artist — hired by Kaplan — coiffed and accentuated the client before the photo session. “I printed 30 photographs for her and put them on a wall for her to view,” says Kaplan, who enjoys gardening and playing tennis and paddle in her free time. “She was blown away with how she looked. Mothers who are not working come to me and want contemporary headshots. These wonderful mothers are more than women who take care of their homes and are part of carpools. They’re beautiful women, who should be valued and respected more than they are. “I try to capture that beauty with my photography. It’s transformative for the moms.” Kaplan’s name for that segment of her business: “Glam the Mom.” Our conversation returns to Flashes of Hope. Kaplan’s eyes widen. Her involvement with the organization isn’t limited to interactions with frightened — and hopeful — children in hospital rooms. She also encounters cancer survivors at the nonprofit’s picnics and holiday parties. “Kids,” Kaplan says, “have come up to me at those gatherings and said, ‘I remember you!’ I remember looking at one of them and saying, ‘You have hair now!’ It is incredibly heartwarming for me to see these kids smiling and spending time with their families in an entirely different setting.” For more information, please visit juliekaplanphoto.com and flashesofhope.org.
