WINNETKA - With the contentious One Win-netka project now

headed to the Village Council March 17, some residents may be wondering about the status of Conney’s Pharmacy. From the beginning the drugstore, which has been a mainstay of Win-netka since opening in 1937, has been a hold out in the project.

The proposed One Winnetka project, designed by Chicago architect Lucien Lagrange, is a mixed use building featuring apartments on the upper floors, underground parking, and retail space on the first and second floors. If approved, it will be built on what is known as the “Fell Property,” on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Elm Street where the former Fell Depart-ment Store was located.

The village’s Design Review Board and Plan Commission have recommended the project for approval. However, the Zoning Board of Appeals recom-mended against the project.

Lagrange’s architectural draw-ings have carefully designed a building around Conney’s at 736 Elm Street. As currently de-signed, a row of three-story build-ings designed to look like town-houses would sit to the east of Conney’s, while a towering five-story building would sit to the

WILL ONE WINNETKA BECOME REALITY?

BY EMILY SPECTRE DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM

When a group of college-age friends realized four people were missing from

their Wisconsin lake house party Jan. 3 they did not assume the worst. They searched the home, looked around the property, and figured their friends would show up later.

“I remember thinking that they are probably on a stupid drunk adventure,” one man told investiga-tors.

It wasn’t until the next morning, when an overturned canoe was seen on a channel of the partially frozen lake that the seriousness of the situation was clear. The celebration of 13 friends, many from the North Shore, had turned into a horrible tragedy.

H IGHLAND PARK – Deerfield High School Principal Dr. Christo-pher Dignam will soon

be superintendent of schools for District 113, and he hasn’t wasted any time showing his school spirit.

“The staff at Highland Park High School recently invited me to a talent show and I had a lot of fun playing the guitar,” said Dr. Dignam, who per-formed a classic rock medley of Led Zeppelin and Van Halen for the HPHS Charity Drive. He’s been playing guitar since he was 9 years old, has per-formed with a band and con-tinues to write guitar music. “I have a recording studio at home, and it’s like going to a different channel,” said Dr. Dignam.

The principal will change professional channels on June 28 when he becomes superin-tendent of schools for District 113, which serves HPHS and DHS.

“I’m most excited about being able to work with both schools as a resource and transformative urban leader,” said Dr. Dignam. “What I like about education in a more global school is sup-porting what works in educa-tion, and being a resource as a conduit for innovative creative teaching and learning,”.

Dr. Dignam described simi-larities and differences between the two schools. “Students and staff care a great deal about the culture climate and learning,” he said. “One difference between the schools is the HPHS School of Biliteracy Program in rec-ognition of students who have proficiency in two or more

languages. It’s a strength that fits the schools culture.”

One similarity is that both schools offer STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs. As a former science teacher at Lane Tech College Prep, and a science coach at the district office, Dr. Dignam has tried to incorporate his love of the arts into the STEM program.

“Lilly Brandt, assistant prin-cipal, works with the science department and STEM is a focus this year. It’s a natural fit because we’re doing it at both schools and I can be a resource,” he said.

Although renovations still are underway at both high schools, Dr. Dignam said everything is on schedule. The DHS pool has been com-pleted, as well as a new gym, library and passenger

elevator. Some remaining classrooms will receive HVAC, LED lighting and new windows. Approximately half of the renovations were done and the rest will be completed this summer.

At HPHS, the foundation has been poured for the pool, which will be completed next spring. In the meantime, HPHS has been using the DHS pool. A new building providing more classrooms also is under con-struction, said Dr. Dignam.

Dr. Dignam is looking forward to his transition to superintendent at the end of the school year. “I recognize I’m in a fortunate position to already be in the district. I’ll begin working with Dr. Daryl Herrick, the interim superintendent, and will find time to work with stakeholders at HPHS,” he said.

Dr. Dignam has twin girls

that are in middle school. He currently lives with his family in Park Ridge, but would like to move into the district by the time his daughters begin ninth grade. “I’d rather be able to leave work and walk around at night in Highland Park or Deerfield and enjoy all that our communities have to offer,” he said.

Dr. Dignam holds a master’s degree in school leadership from Concordia University, a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Olivet Nazerene University and a bachelor’s degree in biological science from Northeastern IL University. He earned his doctorate in teacher leadership from Walden University, and was named the McCormick Foundation High School Media Illinois Principal of the Year in 2014.

NEWS


the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources outlines a chro-nology of the weekend’s events as explained by each of the remaining friends – seven men and two women in their early 20s – in written statements provided to investigators of the East Troy Police Department and Wiscon-sin Department of Natural Re-sources. Each shared a consistent narrative that began with their arrival between 4 and 7 p.m. on Jan. 2 at the lake house belonging to the parents of one member of the group on a part of Lake Beulah called Mill Pond and Mill Lake in East Troy.

The evening began with the drinking games beer pong and “hockey.” The group also played billiards, watched basketball on TV and prepared hot dogs and brats for dinner. Around 11:30 p.m. they decided to go to a local bar called Lindy’s, which one of the witnesses described as a 10- or 15-minute walk from the house. At Lindy’s the friends talked, drank beer and played darts, billiards and arcade basket-ball until they walked back to the house between 1:30 and 2 a.m. When they returned, some of the friends went to sleep while others ate leftovers and watched basket-ball on TV or went to another room to play billiards.

It was a cold night with a light wind — the air was 17 degrees and the water 33 degrees, accord-ing to the police report.

Around 3 a.m., four of the men went outside to smoke cigarettes — Christopher McQuillen, 21; Patrick Wetzel, 21; and Lanny Patrick Sack, 20, all three from Winnetka, and Mori Weinstein, 21, from Wilmette.

“I remember Lanny standing in the kitchen putting on his coat

while I talked to him briefly about a friend from school,” one of the friends told police.

“I believed they just went out front to smoke a cigarette,” another witness stated.

It was was the last time anyone saw the four alive.

At about 4 a.m. as three members of the group prepared to go to bed, they noticed some of the beds were empty and jackets and boots were missing.

“We looked through the rooms and found the four were not in the house,” one of the group wrote in a police witness statement. “We walked out the back porch and checked a tree house thing, then walked around to the front. We then walked down the street with our phone lights on looking. We then returned to the house and started waking people up. Then we went to the water and found the boat house door open and their wallets were in there. We then walked along the shore as far as we could. When we didn’t find anything we returned to the house and didn’t know what to do.”

Another stated: “We looked around and didn’t see their shoes or jackets so we went outside to see if we could see them and found out the ice was broken and tracks in the snow leading to the water. … This was approximately 4 a.m. we kept looking, we knew the phones were inside, wallets were on an inner tube in the garage. I then went inside to talk about how to proceed. We decided to wait some time cause we didn’t know. …”

“We debated calling the police for hours but we weren’t sure we should if they could come back soon,” one of the guests told in-vestigators.

Said another: “Nobody knew where they went. I thought they were walking around or

something so we went back to sleep.”

At about 9 a.m. the next morning, waking up to find the four were still missing, several members of the group resumed the search.

The police report stated that at about 10 a.m. the homeowner’s son noticed a canoe was missing from the boathouse, and at about 11 a.m. he saw the canoe over-turned on a channel connecting Mill Pond to the main lake and called 911.

The police report pointed out that it was dark when the group first saw the boathouse door was open, and that it wasn’t until day-light that one of the friends real-ized a canoe was missing.

Department of Natural Re-source Conservation Warden Juan J. Gomez in his report described the scene when he first arrived at the lake house. “There were a total of 9 individuals sitting around the dining room table. The individuals around the table were in tears some with their heads down, others providing blank stares.”

The DNR and police began searching for the young men immediately, and the bodies of McQuillen and Sack were found in just over an hour. But the search took longer for the other two victims. Divers found the remains of Weinstein on Jan. 4 and Wetzel’s body wasn’t recov-ered until Jan. 8.

The police report stated the canoe was designed for three passengers, that the men were wearing winter clothing but no flotation devices, that alcohol was a factor, and that the cause of death was drowning.

The report did not reveal any foul play, rather a New Year’s weekend that was supposed to be fun resulting in a tragic accident.west.

Changes to those initial plans are now in the works.

David Trandel, CEO of Ston-estreet said the firm is in nego-tiations with Conney’s. “We are optimistic that we will move forward with the purchase of Conney’s and with a plan to move them directly across the street,” Trandel said.

Indeed, Trandel said plans were submitted to the village on Feb. 18 that include the parcel where Conney’s currently sits. Conney’s would move directly across the street to 727 Elm Street, where Mirani’s restaurant is located.

When contacted Feb. 23, Conney’s owner Mark Jacobs said discussions were ongoing.

“We are not obstacles in any-thing,” Jacobs said, noting that he has attended nearly all of the

public meetings held over the past year on the project.

“We are looking forward to the final solution and the final solution is not in our hands, it is with the One Winnetka Devel-oper,” Jacobs said. “Basically it’s in the developer’s hands. Hope-fully we can move with this agreement as soon as possible because that is our intention,” he added.

Both men expressed optimism about the negotiations. Of the agreement he said: “It’s a win for the community, it is a win for Conney’s and it is a win for the project,” Trandel said.

Many of the concerns voiced about One Winnetka have focused on the scope and scale of the project. “I am one hundred percent in favor of re-develop-ment,” Zoning Board of Appeals member Mary Hickey said during public comment at the recent Design Review Board

meeting. “[But] the volume and scale is not compatible with the surrounding areas.”

The Design Review Board discussion in mid-February pri-marily focused on whether the building’s height and scale fit within the context of the village. Lagrange explained to the board that the scale of the building was appropriate given the size of the lot. “It’s going to be a landmark. There is no question of that,” he said. “It’s the right scale because it is a long site.”

Next stop: the project will head to the Village Council for review and the council will ulti-mately decided the fate of the project. In October, the Plan Commission voted in 8 to 2 in favor of the project. In contrast, in December the Zoning Board voted 5 to 2 against One Win-netka. In February the Design Review Board voted 4-3 in favor of the project.

WINNETKA – North Shore residents have a new restaurant to check

out with the opening of Stacked & Folded in Winnetka’s East Elm business district. Stacked & Folded offers a modern, healthy twist on comfort food.

Owner and executive chef Joshua Keating is no stranger to Winnetka. Born and raised in Northfield and a graduate of New Trier High School, Keating honed his craft for years in California before returning home to the North Shore. He worked as a chef at Little Ricky’s, Trifecta and

O’Neil’s before venturing on his own to open Stacked & Folded.

Keating originally planned to open a restaurant with his father three years ago, but those plans were waylaid when his father was diagnosed with ALS and Keating decided to focus on his family. After his father died, Keating decided to pursue his dream to open his own restaurant.

“There is a lot of him here. It means a lot to me. It’s very per-sonal,” Keating said.

Keating’s father was a chef in Glencoe and Northbrook in the 1980s, and Keating followed in his footsteps. “He was a real in-spiration for me,” Keating said.

Stacked & Folded is located at 551 Lincoln in the former store-front of Haute Hot Dogs on Lincoln Avenue and has been fully renovated. A low wooden bar with seating runs along the open kitchen, where Keating will be cooking and serving his patrons himself. “The whole thing is chef driven. It is designed around the kitchen,” Keating explained. “Ev-erything is on display for everyone to see.”

While Keating is the executive chef and owner, chef Lindsey Lauter will cook at the restaurant on Keating’s days off. “She is a very talented chef,” Keating said.

The front of the restaurant houses coolers where salads, sand-wiches and drinks will be available for a quick grab-and-go. White subway tiles and whitewashed walls give the space a bright, clean look, and Keating plans to install a rotating display of local artists’ work. “I want to help support others and give them their shot,” Keating said.

With a focus on fresh, locally sourced and sustainable food, Keating will incorporate artisanal foods such as farro and quinoa into his offerings. The menu will change seasonly, and customers can expect to see unique dishes such as Korean short ribs, pork belly and eggs or tempura battered whitefish in addition to familiar

comfort foods such as burgers and cheese steaks. The restaurant also has a liquor license and will offer wine, beer and cocktails.

Keating plans to experiment with different dishes to learn over time what is most popular with customers. “For me it is an honor to serve people,” he said. “It’s an obligation as a chef to step up and do what is right.”

Some of Keating’s meats will

come from Hofherr Meat Co. in Northfield and he plans to braise his own meats to bring out the flavor. “Those are things we are going to have a lot of fun with and play with,” he said.

The restaurant’s logo was de-signed by Keating’s brother and the name Stacked & Folded was chosen by Keating because he saw it as flexible and open. He wants the restaurant to evolve organi-

cally and become a part of the community. “I want this to be a community restaurant where ev-eryone feels like it is a piece of their own home,” he said.

And Keating is excited to be in Winnetka and hopes that the East Elm business district will become a food destination in its own right. “I don’t think I would want to open a restaurant anywhere else. This is home.”

BE MY VALENTINEPhotography by Sheri Whitko

The Ritz-Carlton Chicago Hotel was bursting with love during the Lynn Sage cancer Research Foundation’s 9th Annual Be My Valentine Family Event, which brought out more than 500 guests and raised over $100,000 for breast cancer research. Co-chaired by Sarna Lee Goldenberg, Libby Langsdorf, and Katie Schwartz, the event treated guests to a delicious buffet, entertainment by the Jesse White Tumblers, All About Dance, Art Beat Live, Ben’s Bubble Show, and sweet decorating stations. All proceeds benefitted the work of the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Founda-tion, as well as fellowships and education programs at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Robert H. Lurie Com-prehensive Cancer Center of North-western University.

Musings by Mike Lubow

North Shorts

“Up in the air”

You’ve left the North Shore as occasionally you must. And you’re on a plane,

droning along at thirty-some thousand feet. You’ll be in that metal tube of recirculating air for hours, so you close your eyes and relax...

A big-sisterly flight attendant leans over your seat and says with a smile, “Would you like something? Let’s see, I have: decongestants. Nasal sprays. Maybe some expectorant—ooh, look here’s that brand with the funny cartoon phlegm guys!”

She goes on. “Or maybe you’d

like some antibiotics? The con-venient blister-pack kind? A prescription comes automati-cally with every boarding pass, you know.”

You shake your head. Not in the mood at the moment, and you just ask for a refill of hand sanitizer. She hefts a container of the silvery liquid and refills your squeeze bottle. You moisten your hands with this bracing stuff. What fun would a flight be without a little alcohol?

The guy behind you continues his chorus of coughing. Someone across the aisle sneezes. It was a loud sneeze, loud enough to wake you up.

And reality hits.There was no flight attendant

passing out pharmaceuticals. You were dreaming. You shake off the dopey, otherworldly feeling that dreams leave, and anticipate landing soon. You look forward to being on firm ground again, and getting on with your trip.

You just hope that the sinus infections and chest colds you and your wife might get in the next few days won’t be so bad. Maybe that dream about in-flight meds wasn’t just another troublesome quirk of your over-active imagination. Maybe it was a good idea.

Unmistakable,

by Mariani.

Let’s Talk Real Estateby Jean Wright, President/Broker Owner Crs, GrI

NOw, where DID I Put that PaPer? the ImPOrtaNCe Of DOCumeNtatION

A common obstacle buyers and Realtors® face at the closing table is that of improperly filled out or lost documents. Many lenders, through changing mortgage documentation, last-minute denials, contract cancellations, lost or misfiled paperwork and rating requirements have caused both buyers and Realtors® alike to lose faith in the organization of these institutions. Smart Realtors® and savvy buyers will take this into account and have a “Plan B” at the ready, in order to ensure expediency in closings. Keep copies of all pertinent paperwork collected in one safe place where you can access it easily. If possible, make duplicates of each document and give them to your Realtor® for safekeeping. Know your credit rating and if possible, obtain pre-approval to keep your closing running as smooth as possible. With a little extra effort, someone else’s lost papers don’t have to be your problem!

Dylan Boyd, a native of Aus-tralia, emanates a certain charm when he speaks. His

Aussie accent has something to do with that. It is lilting, not overly thick. It screams “proper and cour-teous” in a gentle way. It also belies the Lake Forest High School ju-nior’s fierce competitiveness in a pool.

Boyd spoke after bludgeoning the field in the 200-yard freestyle at last weekend’s state swimming and diving meet at Evanston Township High School. He did not just thank his coach, Cindy Dell, after becoming the first Scout to win an event title since Mitch Stoehr won two events (200 free and 100 free) at the 2010 state meet.

Boyd uttered his coach’s name and where she coaches to members of the media following a photo session for the medal winners in the 200 free. He was formal and sweet and sincere on Feb. 27.

Listen:“My coach is Cindy Dell, of

Lake Forest High School,” Boyd began. “She is a really, really sup-portive woman. She told me before the race, ‘You have to want this.’ She also told me, ‘Be gracious, be humble and go as fast as you can.”

Boyd then paused, to issue an apology.

“I’m sorry,” he said, “I’m still a little jittery.”

Boyd’s polite side had emerged. Again.

Minutes later, his fun side made an appearance, followed by another apology. Boyd recounted his journey to the present, from his decade plus in Australia to his couple of years in Pittsburgh [training with University of Pitts-burgh swim coaches] to his current home on the North Shore.

“Here I am, a swimmer at the state meet in Illinois,” he said, his head shaking. “A few years ago I didn’t even know where Illinois is located.

“I’m sorry, my mouth is really dry right now.”

It was impossible to miss the location of Dylan Boyd near the end of the championship heat of

the 200 free last weekend. He was the one out in front, way out in front, of the eventual runner-up, Peoria Notre Dame High School sophomore Colton Paulson. Boyd touched in 1:37.67, Paulson in 1:39.78. That’s a full-body margin of victory, decidedly decisive, the equivalent of a 108-52 final in an Australian rules football game.

Boyd’s time was more than two seconds faster than the time (1:39.92) he had posted in a pre-liminary heat on Feb. 26, and it nearly supplanted the pool-record time of 1:37.34, set in 1989 by Loyola Academy graduate Erik

Mauer, the husband of former LFHS swim coach Lea Mauer.

“Dylan got rid of fear,” Dell said. “He threw fear in the garbage. He swam a beautiful race, split it per-fectly. The last month we worked on pace, on getting his second 50 [yards] in the 200 to around 24.8 [Boyd went 24.61 in his second 50 in the championship heat, fol-lowed by a 24.91 and a 25.22]. When he arrived at our school as a freshman, I knew he was a tre-mendous athlete, physically. He had to grow emotionally the last couple of years, and that’s exactly what he did. He’s got that mental

toughness now. He got that with help from his teammates, who pushed him day in and day out. Do you know what else helped? His teammates believed in him.”

Boyd, seventh in the 200 free (1:41.09) and 11th in the 100 but-terfly (51.14) at state last winter, also finished seventh (or first in the ‘B’ heat) in the 100 fly (50.42) and anchored the 24th-place 400 free relay (3:13.48) at state last weekend.

“I still feel,” he said after his convincing win in the 200 free, “I’m in a dream sequence. This is incredible, the transition I made

[as a swimmer at LFHS]. Last year, at this meet, I had a nosebleed before a race. I was mentally weak. Too weak. Every day this season was a positive day. I looked for positives every day, tried to get the best out of life.”

John-Michael Diveris watched Boyd best the 200 free field at state. It pumped up the Lake Forest High School senior diver, the Scouts’ other state finalist on Feb. 27. Who needs inspiring music or a pep talk when you get to view a teammate impersonating a cigarette boat in a small sea of chlorination?

Diveris’ first dive on the second day of state, his ninth overall, was a back dive pike. It was strong and elegant and dashing, tuxedo-ish. It earned him a couple of 8s, a couple of 7.5s and a couple of 7s. It helped him finish a career-best fourth (461.9 points), one year after finishing ninth at state and two years after finishing eighth at state. Minutes after the final dive of his prep career, the University of Pennsylvania-bound Diveris, stationed behind the boards and awaiting the final results, appeared grateful for having had the op-portunity to compete in another finals sessions — and a tad sad. His teammate, senior diver Alex Streightiff, was not among the other 11 finalists. University of Iowa-bound Streightiff, the state’s top-scoring diver on sectional weekend (590.8, achieved on Feb. 20), had struck a board (with a foot) during a dive in the state preliminaries on Feb. 26. The maximum score on such a dive is a 2. Streightiff, fourth at state last winter, finished 24th (181.6) last weekend.

“He should be here [in the finals],” Diveris said.

The news of Streightiff ’s tough prelim shattered Dell’s heart. She pieced it back together again, knowing one of the best divers in program history would continue to soar — and descend grace-fully — at the next level.

“Such a great leader, Alex,” Dell, an Iowa graduate, said. “Tal-ented, too. He is going to go far, so far, at Iowa. He will fit right in there, do well there. There’s no doubt.”

Notable: Lake Forest finished 14th (34 points) in the team standings at state, first among North Suburban Conference schools. NSC champion Steven-son placed 18th (24 points). … Scouts juniors Wyatt Foss and Kevin Donahue and senior Michael Hambleton preceded junior Dylan Boyd in the 400 free relay at the state meet last week. The quartet finished 24th (3:13.48).

It never gets old, the joke Saman-tha Scheinfeld likes to tell people about why her twin brother,

Charlie, is two minutes older than she is. Samantha told it again last weekend. It made her laugh again. It made others who had heard it before laugh again.

The joke has legs. The joke is about a leg.

One of Samantha’s legs.“I kicked him out,” a smiling

Samantha said in the lobby area of the natatorium at Evanston Town-ship High School on Feb. 27. “That’s why he’s older.”

New Trier sophomore and Glencoe resident Charlie Schein-feld, no joke, had captured the state title in the 100-yard breaststroke at the state swimming and diving meet about 45 minutes earlier. Another kind of kick — a swift finishing kick, after the Trevian had trailed the eventual runner-up, St. Charles North freshman William Myhre, at the penultimate wall of the race — came in quite handy. The 6-foot, 175-pound Scheinfeld, long-armed and lean, hit the final wall in 55.9, half an eyelash, maybe smaller, ahead of Myhre (55.95).

Scheinfeld finished 11th (59.19) in the same race at the state meet last winter.

“I shaved a ‘1’ [off the 11] today,” Scheinfeld, clever Trev, said.

What he also cut last weekend: his personal-best time in the 100 breaststroke. Scheinfeld clocked a blistering 55.86 in a state prelimi-nary heat on Feb. 26, matching the school-record set by multiple state champion Jae Park, a 2014 gradu-ate. Park sped to first place in the 100 breaststroke and in the 200 IM and swam on a couple of victorious relays at the 2013 state meet.

“I don’t know if we, as a team, could have had a better Friday [day of state preliminaries] than we had,” Trevians senior and Bucknell University-bound Willie Kinsella, sixth in the 200 free (1:42.74) at state last weekend, said. “Everybody swam crazy-best times. Everybody. And then, when Charlie won the 100 breaststroke, everybody on our team went insane.”

Scheinfeld had entered the state meet as the No. 2 seed in the 100 breaststroke, thanks to his 57.21 at the Niles North Sectional on Feb. 20. Up in the stands, on both days at state, his twin sister sat and stood and cheered. Charlie saw her and

heard her. Samantha had a perfect attendance record at New Trier — until Feb. 26. Duty called on Feb. 26. She had to pay a visit to ETHS’s natatorium. Wanted to pay a visit.

“That she was here, to watch me … that meant a lot to me,” the state champ said.

New Trier swim coach Josh Runkle watched the first 25 yards of the championship heat of the 100 breaststroke on Feb. 27. He could not watch the final 75 yards of the same race.

“I did look up at the scoreboard, late in the race,” Runkle admitted. “I saw that Charlie was two tenths of a second behind. I thought, ‘OK, he’s good.’ ”

Scheinfeld caught up to Myhre near the end of the final 25 yards, surged and fully extended his arms. A wall halted him. Victory. Barely. The twin looked up at the score-board, as Runkle tumbled out of his bleacher seat on deck and

walked briskly to congratulate the victor. A smiling and proud Runkle fun-slapped Scheinfeld’s hairless head.

“Such an awesome competitor,” Trevians assistant coach Mac Guy said. “Charlie is kind of new at this, competing at this high of a level. It was cool, fun to watch him. If he’s near anybody after 50 yards in a race, he’s thinking, ‘I can take this.’ He has reached that point as a swimmer, as a competitor. He’s got that kind of confidence now.”

Scheinfeld also swam on a pair of top nine relays last week, helping the 200 medley unit finish fifth (1:34.47) and the 200 free crew place ninth (1:26.45). He missed a spot in the 100 free consolation finals by three spots and seven hundredths of a second (15th place, 46.83). He learned a ton about himself last weekend.

“If I want something, I go get it, make it happen,” Scheinfeld said.

When he desires food, he grabs

it, inhales it. Charlie Scheinfeld consumes about 5,000 calories per day, nothing but healthy fare, Sa-mantha reported after the state meet last weekend. Her slightly older brother likes bananas and apples and dried fruit.

“He hasn’t had a dessert in two weeks, I think,” Samantha added.

There is a fun-loving side to Charlie Scheinfeld in between all of those bites. Look for the excitable kid in him to stick around for a while, maybe forever. Runkle called him a “giant, little kid, fun to be around.” Around his twin sister, at home, he’s “really mellow, chill,” his twin sister shared. Teammates looked for Charlie Scheinfeld this winter when they needed to escape the clutches of a rigorous, monoto-nous practice. Hang out with Scheinfeld for a few minutes, laugh a little. Relief. Rinse (more laps), repeat.

“Charlie,” Kinsella said, “is the best guy to talk to if you’re nervous about something or worried about something, because you know he’ll say something good, something witty.”

Notable: New Trier’s swimming and diving team took fifth (82 points) at state for the second year in a row. Trevians sophomore Ryan Gridley and seniors Danny Brooks and Riley Mech joined sophomore Charlie Scheinfeld to take fifth in the 200 medley relay (1:34.47). Brooks, senior Willie Kinsella and sophomores Patrick Gridley and Ryan Gridley combined for a fifth-place time of 3:07.65 in the 400 free relay. Brooks, Kinsella, Schein-feld and Mech collaborated for a ninth-place showing in the 200 free relay (1:26.45). The Trevians’ other top-12 swims at state: Patrick Gridley (eighth, 100 backstroke, 51.47); Ryan Gridley (11th, 100 backstroke, 52.2; 12th, 200 IM, 1:57.73); and junior Patrick Drake (12th, 200 free, 1:57.73). … NT senior Charlie Gentzkow enjoyed another medal-heavy state meet, bowing for two more gold medals and a pair of silvers in races for athletes with disabilities last weekend. Gentzkow took first in the 200 free (2:11.92) and first in the 100 free (58.63), dropping a combined 15 seconds off his seed times. He finished runner-up in the 50 free (26.85) and in the 100 breaststroke (1:26.06) races.

Acouple of Brianna Sturkey’s emotions collided after a basketball game last month.

Happiness bumped into sadness, a sudden foe. Her eyes welled up. Teammates surrounded Sturkey, a Lake Forest Academy senior forward.

Laughter returned, squeezing tears out of her welled-up eyes.

Sturkey, an Oak Park native, had a good reason to be thrilled and a good reason to be sad on Feb. 11. LFA had defeated visiting Fenwick, a school located in Oak Park, 56-43. Thrilled. The game was Sturkey’s final game in a Caxys hoops uniform. Sad.

In a span of four seconds at the end of the game, the 5-foot-8 Sturkey, wearing a No. 22 home jersey, scored the last point in the Caxys’ stellar season (22-1) and heard the final buzzer of her prep basketball career.

Each quarter in a game lasts eight minutes. Sturkey played all 32 minutes against the Friars (8-20), totaling eight points, 12 rebounds and three steals. Lots of running and passing and jumping and defending. No sitting.

“It’s been the most amazing experience, this season, playing for this team,” Sturkey, dabbing damp eyes with her index fingers, said. “We had such good chemistry. We communicated well. Our friend-ship, the friendships all of us de-veloped … that helped, too.”

They call Sturkey “Breezy” at the school. She came up with the nickname, magic-markering it on campaign posters to catch her peers’ attention in hallways before an election at the academy. Every-body calls her “Breezy.” Some of her closest friends might have forgotten her first name. It’s an ideal moniker for her, fitting. “Breezy.” A breeze refreshes people, especially on muggy days. Sturkey delights people, every day, weather never a threat to snap that sunny streak. The captain of the basketball team is a prefect (one of only 12 at LFA, all seniors), the Black Student Union president, the organizer of LFA’s first girls basketball fall league entry, a poet, a future lawyer, a fervent Drake fan and the single-season record holder at LFA for number of combined selfies taken (way too many to count) after basketball games.

“Breezy has such a presence at our school,” senior Ryan Williams, of Long Grove, said from her seat in the bleachers at halftime of the

Fenwick-LFA game. “She works hard, she has great style, and ev-erybody respects her.”

Chicagoan Kendall Logan, also

a senior at LFA, sat just to the left of Williams. Logan, smiling and leaning forward in the ready-to-pounce position, could not wait to

speak and get effusive about Sturkey as soon as Williams com-pleted a thought.

“Great leader, a go-getter, smart and funny and a good dancer,” Logan said. “She read a poem once, in front of a lot of people. It was captivating. It made people cry.”

The second half of the Fenwick-LFA game started, LFA up 21-20. Williams and Logan had returned to serving as vocal LFA girls bas-ketball fans in the gym. Sturkey scored four points, two field goals, in a 48-second span. Fans shouted Sturkey’s nickname after each bucket. Loud rounds of “Breezy!” produced currents of … gusts. Sturkey then scored four of her eight points and collected six of her 12 rebounds in the fourth quarter, including a critical board on a missed LFA free throw with 51 seconds left, LFA owning a 50-43 lead. She also deflected a Fenwick pass near Fenwick’s bench and secured a steal that led to a layup by Caxys senior forward Theresa “Tessy” Onwuka (28 points). She. Was. Everywhere. Sturkey should have been ex-hausted in the final eight minutes, thoroughly spent, looking for the closest comfy chair or an available oxygen tank. Her energy, remark-ably, resembled first-quarter energy, fresh and potent.

“Brianna brought her vocal leadership to each game,” LFA coach Chris Tennyson said of the all-tournament pick at the Culver (Indiana) Invitational in January and the Caxys’ leading scorer (20 points) in a 50-43 defeat of Maine East in November. “Late in the game [vs. Fenwick], you should have seen her, heard her, in our huddle. She willed her teammates to keep fighting, to keep playing hard, to grab every loose ball for the rest of the game. She told them, ‘Come on, finish, let’s finish this!’ ”

LFA outscored Fenwick 23-8 in the final quarter, 17-2 in the final 3:36. Quite a finish. Sturkey had spoken. Teammates had lis-tened, had acted. Leadership at work.

“Great captain, very vocal,” Caxys junior guard and Lincoln-shire resident Aleeya Sawyer said of Sturkey, also a four-year Full Package Athletics AAU player. “She pushed us in practice to make

us better players, never stopped pushing us, never stopped encour-aging us. Great friend, too, with so much energy, passion and deter-mination. Everybody feels com-fortable around her.”

Sturkey’s varsity letter this winter was her ninth. She now has four letters in basketball, four in volleyball, one in soccer (freshman year). She is thinking seriously about going out for LFA’s soccer team again this spring, her AAU hoops career having reached the 0:00 mark of the fourth quarter last fall. What about the fall of 2016? High on the list of colleges she is considering is Barnard College, a liberal arts school in New York City. Constitutional law intrigues her. Her basketball future is like a jump ball and a cumulo-nimbus: up in the air. Maybe as a walk-on. Maybe as a club player. Maybe as an intramural player.

Sturkey had more pressing needs, at ground level, after a bas-ketball game earlier this month. She had things to do after a mile-stone event, her last basketball game in LFA’s main gym. She had an iPhone in hand, victorious and happy teammates milling around her, and a smile to capture. Her smile. She took a selfie.

More would follow. (Too many to count).

Notable: The Fenwick-Lake Forest Academy girls basketball game on Feb. 11 was also LFA’s senior night. Seniors Theresa “Tessy” Onwuka, Brianna Sturkey and Perculiar Adimabua were honored at the half of LFA’s 56-43 victory. Caxys coach Chris Ten-nyson, microphone in hand, praised the players’ contributions to the program. Onwuka, bound for more basketball at the Univer-sity of Buffalo, averaged more the 16 points per game for a 22-1 club this winter. She poured in 10 of her game-high 28 points in the fourth quarter and also finished with seven rebounds and four steals in the final game of her productive LFA hoops career. Sturkey tallied all eight of her points in the second half, matching her average output in 2015-16. Sturkey and Adimabua (six points) grabbed 12 rebounds apiece. LFA freshman guard Kelsi Jackson struck for 10 points, six of them coming on a pair of treys.

Christopher Kearney was a little guy on a big stage three years ago, if you consider

6-foot-3 and 170 pounds little figures. Kearney does. Kearney, now 6-5 and 215 pounds, was a Loyola Academy freshman in 2013 and a member of the Ramblers’ 400-yard freestyle relay at the state swim-ming and diving meet. The unit — three seniors and a baby, starring nobody from Hollywood — placed sixth in 3:08.24.

It was the highlight of Kearney’s freshman season.

Last weekend, after his final state meet at Evanston Township High School, Kearney insisted it was the highlight of his prep swim career.

“Me, a little freshman,” the Deerfield resident, giggling, recalled on Feb. 27, Day Two of the state meet. “What a fantastic memory. Great environment, close race. I’ll never forget that.”

He had a memorable final act, too. The act consisted of two watery scenes last weekend, one in the 200 free, the other in the 100 free. Kearney touched third in the 200 free (1:41.3) for the second year in a row and raced to fifth place in the 100 free (46.25).

“You have to tip your cap to [Lake Forest High School junior Dylan] Boyd,” Ramblers swim coach Mike Hengelmann said of the champion in the event. “That winning time of his [1:37.67] … impressive. And that up-and-coming kid [Peoria Notre Dame sophomore Colton Paulson], who finished second (1:39.78), had a breakout season.

“[Kearney] put 12 points on the board for us,” the coach added. “Good. We’ll take them. He’s a better sprinter this year, with a better stroke rate. Look at what he did for us last weekend [at the Niles North Sectional].”

What the Miami (Ohio) Uni-versity-bound Kearney did: zipped to a 20.3 split in the 200 free relay. Need a little perspective? The winning time in the 50 free at state last weekend was 20.89, clocked by Champaign Central senior Payton Wood.

The week before the state meet is a glorious one for elite swimmers each season. It is taper week, the week to pare the intensity of work-outs, to reduce the number of laps, to rest. Resting is Kearney’s second favorite activity, right behind sleep-

ing. Hengelmann noted Kearney likes to get at least 12 hours of sleep per night. Hengelmann considers four hours of a sleep a good night for him.

“Four hours … Kearney would consider that a nap,” Hengelmann cracked during a break at the state meet. “That kid is in bed, at 8 [p.m.], every night. We joke around, the two of us do, about how we’re at the opposite extremes when it comes to sleeping.”...

Loyola Academy’s other superb Christopher, junior Christopher Canning, rousted countless specta-tors out of their seats during his third appearance in the state diving finals. Displays of talent tend to do that. Canning finished runner-up with a point total of 468.15, behind Rockton Hononegah senior Payton Staman (475.05). Canning finished third at state last year, a year after finishing fourth.

Fourth, third, second. A trend is your friend. Trending up is your best friend.

“Friday [in preliminaries, on Feb. 26] I held back,” Canning said. “I

was more hesitant than I should have been. I watched video [of his first eight dives], and I looked nervous. I didn’t hold back [in the finals session, on Feb. 27]. I felt loose. My mindset was, ‘Go after it.’ ”

His second dive in the finals, his 10th overall, was a beaut. Canning nailed his forward 1-and-a-half somersault, with two twists (degree of difficulty: 2.6, numbers-speak for “super difficult”). The millisec-ond after his straight frame pierced water, a cluster of Ramblers swim-mers and a few coaches, sitting in a bank of temporary bleachers on deck, erupted, fists pumping, cheers popping a few eardrums. They knew Canning had aced it. Canning had a pretty good feeling he had aced it. He had heard the roar of the crowd as he resurfaced, a diver’s favorite post-plunge sound.

Judges gave him two 7.5s and four 7s. The marks essentially clinched another top-three medal for the popular Windy City diving club member.

“Chill. Take a few days off,” Canning said of his post-state meet

plans.Loyola Academy finished in

13th place (35 points) in the team standings, Kearney’s pair of top-five efforts producing 22 of the points. Kearney also swam on a pair of relays at state last weekend: 400 free, 200 free. The former crew placed 16th (3:12.11), the latter 28th (1:28.65). Junior Daniel McGowan, senior Walter Haracz and junior Nathaniel Guenther preceded Kearney in the 400 free relay.

Notable: The men’s swimming and diving team at the University of Miami in Oxford, Ohio, will lose a former Rambler and welcome a former Rambler in a span of a few months. Diver Michael Nash is a senior at Miami; LA senior Christopher Kearney is a Miami recruit. Miami diver Ryan Nash, Michael’s brother, is a freshman at the Mid-American Conference school. “Love the team, great academics,” Kearney said at the state meet last weekend. “I’m looking forward to having a new home.”

Levy Nathan had just received his second state swimming medal last weekend. His pre-

vious state-medal haul, in each of his first two seasons at Highland Park High School, was zero. No wheelbarrow necessary. Nathan had every right to project happiness, relief and pride after placing fifth in the 200-yard freestyle and 12th in the 500 free at Evanston Town-ship High School last weekend.

The junior projected none of the above, not a bad thing.

Nathan instead showed resolve, a good thing, on Feb. 27. A very good thing.

“My times … they weren’t there,” Nathan admitted. “I had a goal this year — finish in the top six in an event, and being able to do that was pretty awesome.”

He said “awesome” with a straight face.

“Next year I’d like to finish in the top three in two events,” Nathan, still all business, added.

Nathan, a 6-foot-2, 192-pounder, did acknowledge his progress, from last winter to this winter, in the 200 free. It was sig-nificant, since he had not even qualified for state in the event last year; he sped to a fifth-place time of 1:42.29 in the event last weekend after earning the fifth seed for the championship heat with a pre-liminary time of 1:41.49 on Feb. 26. Nathan — 29th at state in the 500 free (4:45.76) a year ago — later clocked a 12th-place 4:42.17 in the 500 free to become the first

Giant since 1986 to garner two individual state medals at one state meet. Former HPHS standout Bill Merkle touched first in the 100 backstroke and second in the 200 IM at the state meet 30 years ago.

“I was very pleased,” Giants swim coach Tim Sirois said of Nathan’s effort in the 200 free. “That was good to see, Levy holding his position [fifth]. He swam a great 500 [in the prelimi-naries session] the day before, the way he controlled the first 50 and worked from there. We liked his time [4:36.2]. His goal at the start of the season was a 4:35, so he was right there, right where he wanted to be, on the last weekend of the season.”

The atmosphere at a state swim-ming meet, in and out of the water, can be a daunting one for rookie qualifiers. Nathan absorbed it last year. Right away. Warm-up sessions in lanes are tight and chaotic, arms and legs swinging and kicking all over the place, water flying, bald heads conking.

“The experience he got last year helped him this year,” Sirois said in between the championship heats of the 200 free and 500 free races on Feb. 27. “He knew the craziness of the warm-up would subside. He was pretty loose [during the prelims], and he’s pretty loose [on Feb. 27]. But in the pool … focused, like he always is. He’s such a hard trainer. You don’t find many with the kind of intensity Levy has.

“He wants more,” the coach

added. “I’m glad he wants more.”Nathan’s older brother, Reeven

(HPHS, 2011), attended the state meet last weekend, a former state qualifier in the 200 free and 500 free watching a current 200 free/500 free state qualifier. Reeven finished 28th in the 500 free (4:50.45) and 35th in the 200 free (1:46.5) at his final state meet. Big brother also helped the Giants’ 200 medley relay place 15th (1:37.97) in ’11. Little brother swam on the Giants’ 25th-place 200 medley relay (1:37.76) last weekend, with fresh-man Andrew Vorobev, senior Allen Tran and junior Hugh Laedlein.

“Reeven told me, ‘Go out there and have fun,’ ” Levy said after his final race of his junior season. “I did that. Even the warm-up sessions were fun, jumping in and dealing with swimmers swimming on top of others. It was good, having my brother here. He motivated me when I was younger, and he got to see some of my best swims this weekend.”

Nathan’s pair of top-12 finishes last weekend generated all 11 of Highland Park’s team points at state. HP finished 28th, second among Central Suburban League North schools. Niles North placed 26th (12 points).

Notable: Giants junior Hugh Laedlein finished 30th (53.63) in the 100 backstroke at state last weekend, five spots ahead of fresh-man teammate Andrew Vorobev (54.31).

Keefe Knows and Shows Over 40 Public and Private Lakes Near IL/WI BorderBy HannaH Denton

Ever dream you could just jump in the car in and be at your own lakeside retreat in under two hours?

If so, that’s a wish that can come true - more easily than you might think.

“People are often surprised to learn that there are more than forty public and private lakes in South-eastern Wisconsin, nearly all within one or two hours of Chicago’s North Shore,” said Chris Devincentis, Vice President -Managing Broker of Keefe Real Estate, which specializes in Wisconsin’s Southern Lakes Country. “We are lakefront specialists, and our agents offer buyers access to a huge variety of public and private lakes across three counties.”

Keefe, which is headquartered in Lake Geneva and has six additional Southeastern Wisconsin offices, has been a trusted name in vacation home real estate since 1943. The large family-owned independent brokerage company has long been the go-to resource for Illinois lake-lovers of all kinds – from sailors to powerboaters, canoeists to fishermen, beach-lovers to nature enthusiasts.

“Our area offers lake living for almost every life-style and interest, and budget, too,” said DeVincen-tis, who has lived and worked in the Lakes Country area for over twenty years.

The biggest and best-known lakes are Geneva Lake and Delavan Lake. Keefe covers these popular lake areas with extensive reach – and their genera-tions-old networks often afford their clients access to rare finds and opportunities even before they come to market. Each of these lakes has its own Yacht Club, and several private Lake Associations offer a

strong sense of community, even for part-timers. The most lavish of lakefront homes on Geneva Lake are priced in the millions, with private piers and swim-ming areas among just a few of potential luxury amenities. But, there are also smaller homes, town-homes and condos on and off the water, in a wide range of prices, too. The same is true on Delavan Lake, another coveted destination for Chicagoans for generations. Another large lake option popular with sailors is Lake Beulah, about a half hour north of Lake Geneva, with its own Yacht Club, too.

For those seeking medium-sized lakes, there are many to choose from, each with its own unique feel, value and identity. For example, north of Delavan and Elkhorn is the ever-popu-lar Lauderdale Lakes chain, and beyond that is Whitewater Lake, among many others. Back to the east is Browns Lake, Eagle Lake, Tichigan Lake and Wind Lake. Along the state-line is Twin Lakes, Powers Lake and Paddock Lake.

Some of the lesser known treasures of the region are the myriad small lakes that afford quiet respite and gorgeous views, and where the residents

enjoy lakefront recreation from small piers and beaches, and traverse the water on paddle-boats, canoes and kayaks. Some of these, like Turtle Lake are public. Others, like Blue Spring Lake, are private communities. There are also many individual country retreats which feature spring-fed swimming ponds,

fishing holes, creeks and wetlands, all of which provide beautiful nature vistas and private wildlife viewing every season of the year.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST


BY BILL MCLEAN

T he apology arrives as soon as Linda MacLennan takes a seat at Café Aroma in

Winnetka. Her voice is hoarse this morning, Debra Winger raspy. The former WBBM TV/Channel 2 news anchor had at-tended, with several of her friends, the Toronto Maple Leafs-Chicago Blackhawks hockey game at United Center two days ago.

“I’m sorry,” MacLennan, smiling and tilting to her left to shed her winter coat, says. “I saw a great game, an exciting game, but it cost me my voice.”

The Blackhawks routed the Maple Leafs 7-2. MacLennan cheered loudly for seven of the nine goals. MacLennan — born and raised in Toronto and a graduate of Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada — is a … Chicago Blackhawks fan, a rabid one. Has been for decades. She still has a hint of a Canadian accent. She still doesn’t mind when she can’t get that “Chelsea Dagger” Blackhawks goal song out of her head.

It has been 13 years since MacLennan, 59, last delivered news in front of a camera in a CBS studio in Chicago. Two of her Channel 2 anchor mates, f rom 1987-2003, were Bill Kurtis and Lester Holt. Kurtis and Holt. Still household names. She now likes to spend a lot of time behind a considerably smaller camera, taking photo-graphs for a variety of publica-tions and to feed an insatiable passion she discovered, at the age of 10, at Expo 67 in Mon-treal.

“I used an instamatic camera back then, black and white film,” MacLennan, a Kenilworth resi-dent since 2014 and a North Shore resident since 2005, recalls. “I went crazy. I took so many photos. I had to send the film to get it developed. That usually took 10 days. Waiting 10 days for my pictures felt like an eternity. I still have the photos I took at Expo 67.”

Two of her three children,

Taylor and Charlotte, played sports. Taylor is a senior at Indiana University, Charlotte a junior at New Trier High School. Both played hockey. Taylor also battled in lacrosse and rugby games. Charlotte, now an artis-tic athlete, dances. Their mom would take up to 2,000 photo-graphs at hockey games. Each hockey game. MacLennan’s smartphone currently contains 12,300 images — a number that is a little more than half of the seating capacity at United Center.

“Do you know what’s huge these days?” she says, her eyes expanding with each word. “Taking photos of food.” Seconds later, MacLennan aims her smartphone at the oatmeal and fruit plate in front of her at Café Aroma. Click.

MacLennan, the daughter of a Canadian father and an Amer-ican mother, did not set out to pursue a career in broadcast journalism when she enrolled at Carleton University in Ottawa. She wanted to be a newspaper reporter. A one-week intern-ship, at a television station in Canada, shifted her career path from inch counts to breaking news seg-ments, from “You want that story written by when?” to “This just in.” She shadowed a television reporter d u r i n g the intern-ship. The reporter inves-tigated a men-only tavern. The shadow had to stay outside of the tavern, in an area where men and women were allowed to roam together in the city.

“Can you believe that?” Ma-cLennan says. “A bar for men only, in the 1970s? I was in-trigued. So, one night, I went to that bar with a guy I was dating

at the time. I dressed like a man. I wore a baseball cap, pulled down, with a manly shirt … one of those lumberjack shirts. I had even practiced walking like a man. I entered the bar, and I was so, so nervous. I was an infiltra-tor. We were there for only 30 minutes.”

Her first broadcast segment

aired on CJOH TV in Ottawa. She was a senior at Carleton University and back in her Linda MacLennan threads, working part-time on weekends and holidays. The story was about a canine intestinal parasite. Ma-cLennan interviewed a veteri-narian for the piece. The segment must have impressed her bosses;

she worked full-time as a re-porter, producer and anchor at the station from 1978-85. Her next stint: co-anchor of a national morning show for CTV in Toronto, from 1985-87. WBBM TV/Channel 2 went head-hunting for talent in ’87 and ceased its search in The Great White North.

One of MacLennan’s stories on Channel 2 was the 1990 tornado in Plainfield. It killed 29 people. She was in Florida when she was ordered to return to Chicago to cover an unusual flood in April of ’92. More than 100 million gallons of Chicago River water had

flowed into a grid of tunnels under the city’s

business district.“I miss the buzz of the news-

room, being in a workplace en-vironment, being surrounded

by constant energy,” admits MacLennan, whose three-year con-tract was bought out by CBS in ’03. “It was exciting, always, and it was stressful and ener-vating. Every day was

also interesting. Every day was an opportunity to learn something. Twenty-

five years in the business … reporting the

news was how I breathed, how I

thrived.“After our

10 o’clock [p.m.] broad-

casts, after our postmortems, I re-

member standing in our building’s underground

parking lot, talking and laughing with Lester Holt and [weather-man] Steve Baskerville and having a great time. We liked to linger down there because we were all still wired from the broadcast and we weren’t ready to go home.”

MacLennan, a six-time local Emmy Award winner, threw

herself into raising her three children and delving even deeper into the world of photography after her final sign-off. Her middle son, Carson (now a student at a Musical Theatre Conservatory in New York City), took acting classes at The Wil-mette Theatre. Those led di-rectly to another reinvention of Linda MacLennan. She served on the ’Mette’s board in 2010 and “got drafted” to become the theatre’s manager in ’11, a posi-tion she held for two years. She dubbed the resilient North Shore treasure “The Little Theatre That Could” and oversaw the celebra-tions and fundraising for its 100th anniversary. Her weekly commitment to the job lasted 50 hours, sometimes 60. The com-mitment helped her to breathe again, to thrive again.

“Gratifying, stimulating, af-firming,” MacLennan says. “It was a gift to me, getting the op-portunity to work there.”

She does not watch much local TV news. She reads the Chicago Tribune every day and tries to read parts of the New York Times every day. Her fa-vorite radio listen is WBBM-AM. Her least favorite thought is the thought of her daughter heading off to college in 2017. She feels blessed to have a large group of close friends.

Her close friends must feel blessed. They get to hang around and talk and laugh with Ma-cLennan, a wide-eyed listener full of curiosity and exuberance. A breakfast companion men-tions MacLennan’s zest. Ma-cLennan mentions her late mother, Miriam, a teacher and a serial choir member.

“She embraced life,” MacLen-nan says. “She was always sunny, always positive. My mom was in two choirs two weeks before she died [in ’09, at 75]. Two choirs. She loved to sing. People were always so nice to my mother, wherever she happened to be. I figured out why. It was because she always walked around with a smile. So much in life is about attitude, and my mom had a great one.”
