plan for race exhibit

"RACE: Are We so

Different?' set forOctober opening

BY Mfl [email protected] I @SKReview_Mike

It'sa subject that many find dif-

ficult to raise and perhaps evenmore difficult to discuss in a

meaningful way.But an enlightening exhibi-

tion set for next fall at the IllinoisHolocaust Museum in Skokie aimsto fearlessly focus on differentaspects of race. "Race: Are We SoDifferent?" comes to the Chicagoarea under a special partnershipbetween the museum and YWCAEvanston/North Shore.

"Racism is not how you look,"historian Robin Kelly once said. "Itis about how people assign mean-ing to how you look."

Noreen Brand, the museum'sdirector of education, began hercomments about the upcomingexhibit by reciting that provoca-tive quote last week during a pressconference in Evanston.

"We celebrate differencesand personal identity and familybackground, country and language,and at the same time differencesamong people have been the basisfor discrimination and oppression,"she said.

The museum hosts thousandsof students every year to engagethem in questions about "whatdoes it mean to be who you are,how to celebrate differences, howto look at identity and how to fos-ter understanding of what it meansto be a human being."

Brand called the effort "aninvestigation of the history ofrace from a scientific perspective,looking at human invention of race

and then how, at one point, it waslegitimized and now we're look-ing at how can we dismantle thisconcept."

"This was a natural for us,"she concluded about hosting theproject.

It proved a natural for YWCAEvanston/North Shore as well.

President and CEO KarènSinger called the exhibition andits associated events an importantnew initiative in the organization'sracial justice work, "one that willhave a profound effect on a1l of usand on our communities."

The result of three year ofdreaming, planning and coliabo-rating, she said, the two partnersalong with sponsors are bringing anational expedition to the hicagoarea for the first time.

It runs from Oct. 12 throigh Jan.25, 2015 at the Skokie museim,but many associated programswill be held in Chicago and NorthSuburban communities this springsummer and during the exhibi-tion's run.

YWCA Evanston/North Shore CEO Karen Singer speaks about a new exhibition, Race: Are We So Different?' that will come to theIllinois Holocaust Museum in October. The museum and the YWCA are sponsoringthe exhibition. MIKE ISAAcS/SUN-Ì1MES MEDIA

In fact, a discussion serieson the works ofAugust Wilsonalready got under way in Evanston,but that's likely to be the tip of theiceberg. The Evanston Public Li-brary has a series of events sched-uled throughout the year focusingon African American history andculture as well.

Eileen Hogan Heineman, racialjustice program director at YWCAEvanston/North Shore, addedthat communities beyond Skokieand Evanston will be encouragedto host programs that align withthe exhibition. The museum andthe YWCA also are cosponsoringon-site programs that will includea scholar series, teacher trainingsand local government workshopsaround race.

"The YWCA Evanston/NorthShore is encouraging educational,civic, business, faith-based, youthdevelopment and arts organiza-

tions to create or participate inprograms that will help movepeople individually, and collective-ly, to seek racial equity" the YWCAsaid in statement.

"Eliminating racism is core tothe identity and mission of theYWCA," Singer said. "Our workreflects this key commitment.Understanding and talking aboutrace and racism, understandinghow our communities and institu-tions have and continue be affectedby racism is critical to our abilityto work together to creata racialequity."

"Race: Are We So Different?"

was developed by the AmericanAnthropological Association. Itlooks at race through historyvariation and lived experienced.First presented at the Science Mu-seum of Minnesota, it tells storiesand explores race from biological,cultural and historical perspec-tives.

Like many of the museum'sprovocative and most resonanttraveling exhibitions, "Race: AreWe Still Here?" uses different mul-timedia tools to explore in a uniqueway a difficult subject. Interactivecomponents, multimedia presenta-tions, iconic objects, photographs,and graphic displays will all be cen-tral pieces of an in-depth explora-tion of race.

Evanston Mayor ElizabethTisdahl last week said one of thereasons she wanted to run formayor was to preserve the city'ssignificant diversity. At that point,she said, Evanston was losingits African American popula-tion, which has somewhat turnedaround.

But celebrating diversity is notsolely indicative that Evanston hassolved all racial problems, Tisdahisaid.

"We clearly have not. But theone thing you can say about Evan-ston is we are always working tobe better. That's why having thisexhibit here is so tremendouslyimportant," she said.

A February voter registra-tion drive at Maine East HighSchool in Park Ridge goner-ated 77 new voters this year,Cook County Clerk David Orrannounced.

The drive took place onFeb. 6 and was aimed at bothstudents who had recentlyturned 18 and 17-year-olds whowill turn 18 by the Novembergeneral election. A new statelaw allows 17-year-olds to votein a primary election if theywillbe 18 at the time of thegeneral election.

"We had a few teachers whohad gone through training tobe voter registrants, so wemanned tables in the cafeteria

during the lunch periods andregistered as many students aswe could," said Carl Brownell,social science departmentchairman at Maine East.

Across Cook Ceunt morethan 5,400 high school sto-dents were registered to votebetween Jan. 1 and Feb. 21.according to the Cook CountyClerk's Office. The suburbanhigh school with the most newvoters registered was LyonsTownship High School in LaGrange (with 423), followed byNew Tiler High School in Wm-netka (309) and Palatine HighSchool in Palatine (258).

Locally; Maine West HighSchool registered more than150 new voters this yearMaine South High School alsoconducted voter registration,but the number of registrants

was not known, according toDavid Beer3ç spokesman forMaine Township High SchoolDistrict 20

'nur number always tendsto be a little lower at MaineEast than other schools mainlybecause we have more alzi-dents who aren't U.S. citizens,"explained Brownell, referringto the schoos large populationofrecent immigrants.

This year was the first timethat 17-year-olds could registerto vote in a primaï electionunder the state's new Suffiugeat 17 law.

i Youth hockey team bonds over.tournament championshipBY NATALE HAYESFor Sun-Times Media I @nathayreporter

Ateamof 8-year-old hockey

players from Skokie haveproved that age doesn't mat-

ter when it comes to gliding acrossthe ice to get the puck in the net.

For the past 12 years, the SkokieFlyers Mite A team has main-tamed a tradition of trekking fivehours up to Baraboo, Wisc. for theLogan Klemm Memorial HockeyTournament, where the kids faceoff against teams from Illinois'northerly neighbor.

This year's tournament wasextra special, Flyers coach VictorLazzaroni said.

That's because for the first timein the team's history, the Flyersclenched the Championship LoganKlemm Memorial Trophy after theMarch 2 tournament.

The victory was a big deal forthe players and their families, who

look forward to tournament eachyear.

Each morning at dawn, theplayers and their parents emergefrom their hotels in the Wiscon-sin Dells to gather in the smallmakeshift Pierce Park Ice Arenafor a youth hockey tournamentdescribed as "unlike any other" byparent Patrick Long.

"What I've learned abouthockey - perhaps unlike anysport - is that the kids' passionfor it is overwhelming and canbe life-changing if you're recep-tive to it," Long said. "Good luckgetting a kid out of bed to playbaseball - I've tried - but get outof their way if they're going to playhockey."

The families convene on a fewcold, dark winter mornings in lateFebruary to watch the kids playin an old-fashioned, one ice sheetfacility in rural Wisconsin with nomechanical refrigeration, meaning

the ice is naturally frozen by thecold weather.

Frigid Wìsconsin nights freezethe ice to sub-zero temperatures,which makes perfect conditions for"fast hockey" in the early morninghours, Long said.

"It is so cold - guaranteeingfast ice - that the players have towear long underwear and use hotpockets to keep warm," Long said."In this environment, kids simplyplay their hearts out, and you canfeel the emotion of the game riseand fall."

More than just a hockey tourna-ment, the trip is a bonding experi-ence for the players and theirfamilies, who play "shinny" hockeyin the empty halls of the Dells wa-ter park hotels at night and splasharound in the indoor water parksduring the day.

The tournament was namedin memory of Logan Klemm, ahockey player who was in third

Logan's parents, Timm andTana Klemm, started the tour-nament the following year as away to remember their son andcelebrate his love of hockey.

"The Flyers played in honorof Logan by exuding his pas-sion for the sport," Long said. "Ayoung boy's love for the game haspropelled the people around him

to make something special hap-pen that brings our players on apilgrimage to enjoy it - it's worthnoting and talking about."

"This Saturday, we wifi introduce two newvendors, Kountry Kettle Corn and 72 Decore-fions," said Elaine Monterola, public relationsmanager for the market.

They make homemade kettle corn anddiled floral aimngments, respective1ç andjoin a lineup ofvendors sellinìg chocolates,baked goods, artisanal cheeses, natural meats,fruits and vegetables and other delectables.

The market is still accepting applicationsfor vendors for the fÙll summer season. Themanagers are especially looking for jellyljamvendors and prepared-food vendors. They also

need volunteers, and are hoping communitygroups and sponsors will get involved.

"This year, we are introducing a MarketFriends fundraiser that allows families andindividuals to 'sponsor' the market," Monterolaexplained. Sponsors will receive a MarketFriends T-shirt and a mention on the marketwebsite.

That helps the nonprofit market survivefinancially, she said. It is its own entity but un-der the umbrella ofthe Morton Grove Cham-ber ofCommerce, which is also a nonprofit.

That requires careful money management.'Any funds left over from the previous year

Approximatelyhalf of our budget comes from regular seasonvendor fees. uwe are not able to reach oursponsorship and fUndraising goals to make upthe other haIe we are forced to cut back on ourfestivals, outreach, and marketing efforts."

HELPSQU2ÂDBasketball company gives

deserved refund to injured player

HELP SQUADByJACKIE PILOSSOPH

DearHelp Squad,

Last Spring we had three of ourfour daughters play at Full Package

Basketball of Northfield. The program beganin early April. On May 5, my oldest daughtercame home from practice with ankle pain,and by the next morning it hurt her to walk.

That week, my daughter was put ina boot, told not to play any sports andwas advised to see an ankle surgeon. Wespent the next two months seeing anklesurgeons, trying to determine if and whenshe should have surgery. I kept in touchwith Matt Truding and told him that Kellywould not be able to play for the rest ofthe season.

I paid the full, agreed upon amount formy younger two daughters ($850 each) and$800 of the $1,300 for my oldest daughter.In June, Kristen Sheehan of Full Packagecontacted me to pay the $500 remainingbalance for my oldest daughter. I told herthat my daughter was injured still andcouldn't play, and that since she only playedfour weeks of the four-month season, I washoping for a partial refund. She said that Ineeded to talk to Matt.

I called and e-mailed Matt several timesover the summer, asking to discuss arefund. He did not respond. In October, Ie-mailed Danielle Levin, another owner atFull Package. When she received my initiale-mail, she apologized that Matt had notresponded to me, and said that she wouldlook into the situation and get back to me.After a couple of weeks and no response, Ie-mailed her again, and she did not respond.

After reading your column in the ParkRidge Advocate each week, I began to thinkthat maybe you could help resolve this. Myvoicemail to Matt asked to discuss a pos-sible refund of $400, which I thought wasfair.

Can you please help me resolve this situ-ation?

Mary KonsPark Ridge

Dear Mary,First of all, we hope your daughter's ankle

is healed, that she's doing well and that'sshe's back out on the basketball court!

When we received your e-mail we calledMatt and left a message. He called us rightback, said he remembered the situationand told us he felt badly that they neverresolved the situation with you.

Matt then agreed to send you a checkfor $400 that day, a partial credit for thesession since your daughter only played amonth into it.

This was perhaps one of Help Squad'seasiest solves ever. A total slam dunk!

Since Full Package rebounded soquickly, and since Matt is the president ofFull Package Basketball for girls, whichoffers leagues for fourth- through eleventh-graders, we thought we'd ask him to sharewith our readers the benefits of girl'sbasketball.

Here's what he said:. It builds self-confidence, on and off the

court.. It teaches players how to work through

their conflicts. They learn how to under-stand interpersonal relationships whichenables them to be more successful in life.

s jfl the game of basketball, players aredealing with constant changes and learn-ing to work through any problems thatcome up.

. It is a constant movement activity.There's not a lot of standing around whichis physically and emotionally healthy.

I J is a skill sport. What that means is,anyone can make themselves a good playerby working at it. Even if you aren't thefastest or tallest, ifyou learn the skills andunderstand the game, you can be success-ful.

. It's one of the few sports in whichindividual skills can be rewarded and alsobe used within a team to make a team suc-cessful. In basketball, everyone is a part ofthe game.

. Being on a basketball teams givesplayers a sense of being part of somethingand a sense of pride, which improves self-esteem and self-assurance.

s teaches discipline.s ¡ teaches players how to trust each

other.

ThURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2014 A PIONEER PRESS P

Don't jettison

religious freedom

TheArizona bill Randy Blaser wrote

about (March 6), was, I believe,brought about by situations involving

wedding photographers and cake bakersbeing forced to work for homosexual wed-dings. Let's turn the tables for a momentand imagine a graphic design companyasked to design a logo for a local IOu lUuxKlan group. Should the graphic designersbe forced, by law, to exert their skill for theglory of something they rightfully disagreewith? I say absolutely not.

No reasonable person wants to bring backJim Crow laws and apply them to homosexu-als. All we are asking for is the freedom tomake a living in a way that accords with ourprinciples. That's why freedom of religionis in the First Amendment. As a Catholic, Iwonder about my own future when I see myfellow citizens so hastily jettisoning religiousfreedom. Ifyou let go of it now, folks, it won'tbe there when you need it later!

Finally, Randy Blaser missed a key pointin the story about Jesus and the adulterouswoman after the crowd disperses, Jesustells her that he does not condemn her, andfollows up with a significant command "Go,and sin no more." Jesus, and Pope Francis,wisely teach us to refrain from judgingpeople, but they still judge behaviors as rightand wrong. By reftising to stone the woman,Jesus wasn't abolishing sin; he was makingroom for repentance in a vindictive world.Those are two very different things, and onlyone of them is needed today.

influential people in how youlive your life?

I'm not talking about your mentor,or the relative who gave you yourworldview, or the person who gaveyou a moÑi foundation. I'm talkingabout the:two people who have hadthe most hifluence on how each andevery one of us lives and works.

Is there anyone in the world whohas had more influence than BillGates and Steve Jobs?

These two computer geniusesstand with the likes of ThomasEdison and Henry Ford as innovatorswho have changed everything abouthow we live.

I've been thinking about thisbecause I am a devotee of the prod-ucts given to us by Steve Jobs andApple. I love their ease of use, theirelegance, they intuitiveness and theirsimplicity.

And I've long been a harsh critic ofMicrosoft products, particularly theWindows operating system. I used tojoke that Windows crashes so muchthat if Bill Gates made cars he'd bein jail. Nevertheless, both men haveaccumulated wealth beyond anyone'swildest drwìms, more money thananyone cotld spend in a lifetime.

Which rises another issue: Isthere somhing beyondaccumulat-

"Most people who fretabout these monu-mental global issueshave little where-withal to do anythingabout them otherthanjoin a service or-ganization and play asmall part. More thananyone, Gates hasthe wherewithal to dosomething giganticabout it and he is do-ing it."

ing money? Both have been wellrewarded for their innovation andideas, deservedly so. But I think anyperson in such a position would haveto ask, is that all there is? What's thepoint of having it all when so many inour world have nothing?

I have no idea if Steve Jobs evertried to answer that question, letalone even ask it.

Yet every time I see some inno-vative or interesting solution to areally big world problem, Bill Gates isbehind it.

For example, I've been a memberof Rotary since 1992, serving in theOak Park, Wìlmette Harbor and Gur-nee clubs over time. Rotary's ambi-tious world project, begun in 1985, is

to wipe out polio. In 2009, Rotary gota $200 million grant from the Bill andMelinda Gates Foundation, and poliois darn near wiped out.

A few years ago I heard a snidenews report about Gates. His ideawas that a new type of toilet couldchange the world, and he sponsored acontest to reinvent the toilet. Seemsgoofy at first, until you wonder whatit's like to live in a place where theonly source of water is the sameplace your village uses for a wash-room.

Last year I heard a report abouta new teaching program that ischanging the way kids learn calledKhan Academy. Bill Gates is helpingto fund it.

Go on the website for the Billand Melinda Gates Foundation andsearch for what they do, and you willsee the scope and ambition of howBill Gates really wants to change theworld. A more ambitious agenda I'venever seen. There are global healthinitiatives to address HW malariaand pneumonia, and public develop-ment initiatives from agriculturedevelopment and building libraries tonutrition and water and sanitation.

Most people who fret about thesemonumental global issues havelittle wherewithal to do anythingabout them other than join a serviceorganization and play a small part.More than anyone, Gates has thewherewithal to do something giganticabout it and he is doing it.

It's like the poet Robert Browningsaid, "A man's reach should exceedhis grasp, or what's a heaven for?"

III 1,000 WORDS BY JACK HIGGINS

Realnews, at last!

By now you musthave heard about

Lux the cat from Portland,Ore. His family called 911 onhim because Lux attackedthem, held them prisoner,as it were, in their ownbedroom.

The cops came andsnared Lux with one ofthose things they grab dogswith. But that's only oneside of the story

Anyone who knows catsknows there is another side:Lux's side.

Cats are dignified beings.They do not take insults orabuse lightly.

The family Lux liveswith has a baby. The babypulled Lux's tail. Luxretaliated and scratchedthe baby. The baby's fatherthen kicked Lux in thebehind.

This outraged Lux's dig-nity and he took action.

That behavior is typicalof cats - and humans.

Let me ask you: What

would you do if someonekicked you in the behind?

Right.People and cats are a lot

alike. That, I think, is whysome people don't like cats.

Cats, like people, will loveyou under certain condi-tions. And the love of a cat isa wonderful thing. But it hasto be earned.

Whereas a dog will loveyou no matter what. Youdon't have to earn a dog'slove. It is freely given.

"People and cats are a lot alike. That,I think, is why some people don't likecats. Cats, like people, will love youunder certain conditions. And thelove ofa cat is a wonderful thing. Butit has to be earned."

There are two sides toOregon cat attack story

So, are dogs thus betterthan cats? Some peoplewould say so.

I've lived with dogs andI've lived with cats. I'veloved them and they'veloved me. In that sense I al-ways have considered themof equal value and delight.

Right now I have a cat.So, I love her best.

And, oh yes, I never kick

my pets.Well, gotta go.Kate, my cat, likes to

start the day with a papercup full of cold water shedrinks while standing on thebathroom sink.

Just who is the pet?That's the real question.

11F MORTON GROVE

Taste enjoys large helping of ticket-buyersBY PAM DEFIOLIOFor Sun-Times Media

TheTaste ofMorton Grove

fundraiser March 8 wasso packed that latecomers

could not find a space in WhiteEagle Banquets' mammoth park-ing lot.

Because of the crowds at oneof Morton Grove's best-attendedTastes ever, organizers wereable to best last year's total offunds raised for local nonprofitorganizations.

"There were more people thanI expected," said Mike Simkins,who chaired the event put on bythe Morton Grove Foundation.

Eileen Harford, the founda-tion's event and raffle chair, tal-lied some figures and estimatedthat 800 people attended theTaste, which was held in a hugeballroom at White Eagle in Niles.

"It's for such a wonderfulcause," she said. The foundationawarded checks to 24 non-profitswith the proceeds.

As of Monday March 11, theFoundation had taken in $61,981,with another $200 or so expectedto trickle in from silent auc-tion items, according to CindyKopczyk, also one of the organiz-ers. She said it would be safe tosay the event raised $62,000,or about $1,500 more than lastyear's total.

The hundreds of attendeesvisited table after table to sampledishes from local restaurateurs.Offerings included pasta fromGraziano's and Father and SonItalian Kitchen; pizza fromGiordano's and Gulliver's; Asianfood from Sri Siam, China Chefand Unimart; chili from MortonGrove firefighters; pierogi fromWhite Eagle; and desserts fromMeier's Bakery, Nothing BundtCakes, Dairy Queen, Culver's,Classy Cut Catering and others.

event organizer for years, saidthe increased online presencethis year may have helped drivethe attendance. For the firsttime, people could buy both eventtickets and raffle tickets online.

'And the weather today didn'thurt," he said, alluding to mildertemperatures and no snowfall onMarch 8.

LeBeau also credited the factthat the foundation started a fewyears ago to engage the benefi-ciary organizations more deeplyin event planning, Foundationmembers invited the beneficia-ries to a breakfast and askedthem to help secure silent auc-tion items and sell a certain num-ber of event and raffle tickets.

"It went over well - they likedintermingling and networking,"

LeBeau said. "They're more in-volved now, and I think they feelpartial ownership of the event."

Harford said the foundationtook advantage of five incomesources: event tickets and spon-sorships, raffle tickets, quickpick raffle tickets, the silentauction and the fire departmentboards. For the latter, firefight-ers carry around large boardswith checkerboard squaresdrawn on them, and event-goerscan buy a square to support thecharities.

Checks were presented tocharities at the Taste itself; Kop-czyk said proceeds from earlieryears stay in the account androll over from year to year. Thefoundation presents differentamounts to different charities.

Laura Lake, a Village of Morton Grove

government intern and also MissNorthern Suburbs "in her other life, wasselling quick pick raffle tickets.

Former circus duo

celebrate in RosemontJulie Gordon and Nathan BotkinBy *1 DOR2HECContributing writer

JulieGordon and Nathan Botkin were brought

together in 2006 as performers in the flhinois StateUniversity Gamma Phi Circus, the oldest collegiate

circus in the United States.Julie, a Western Springs native and former gym-

nast, flipped and flew in the air, and Nathan, formerlyof Bolingbrook, was a base who often caught herafter stunts.

"We really learned to trust each other and grew avery strong friendship," Julie said. The couple per-formed together for about two years.

In April 2013, the couple traveled back to the univer-sity to attend the annual circus home show, the mostanticipated performance of the year.

With the help of the circus director and current per-formera, Nathan coordinated a proposal that called Juliefrom the audience to help with a clown act.

"We both know a lot of the clowns, so I knew shewouldn't find it odd for them to use her as an audienceparticipant," he said.

The clowns formed a wall behind Julie as she held a"Kissing Booth" sign toward the audience. When sheturned around, Nathan was down on one knee.

"She definitely had no idea it was coming. I just toldher earlier that day that I couldn't pick out a ring be-cause I was too indecisive. She kind of got mad aboutit, but I had the ring in my pocket the whole time,"Nathan said.

Nine months later, they married Jan. 18 at Saint Johnof the Cross in Western Springs. Their reception fol-lowed in the Penthouse Ballroom of Victoria Rosemont.

The couple included a generation dance where theDJ invited married couples onto the dance floor. Aftera bit of dancing he asked those who have been marriedfive years or fewer to leave the dance floor, followed by10 years or fewer and so on, until the longest-marriedcouple remained.

The longest-married couple were Julie's grandma andgrandpa Cozza, who have been married 62 years. Whenasked what their secret was, they said love was whatkeeps them strong.

Julie and Nathan said the dance floor was packeduntil the very last song, "Piano Man" by Billy Joel.

"Everyone knows and enjoys the song," Nathan said."It was a great way to end the night.

Julie and Nathan live in Glen Ellyn. Julie is an elemen-tary school teacher in Elk Grove Village, and Nathan is afirefighter-paramedic in Elgin.

BY JOHN GROCHOWSKI

For Sun-Times Media

While playing blackjack recently, I encoun-tered a player who was rnirn.icldng the strategythe dealer was reqiired to follow. He wasstanding on every 1 7 and higher, and hittingevery 1 6 or lower, regardiless of what card thedealer had face up.

"The house makes money playing this way,"he said. "Seems like I should, too."

The problem is that players and dealers op-erate under very different conditions, and theway that works best for the dealer results in alopsided game if followed by players. Casinosknow this, and they don't want the games to betoo lopsided. They want you to feel as if youcan win, and keep you coming back to enjoytheir hospitality. So they give you options,different potential strategies. It's up to you tounderstand you have avenues open to you thatgive you a better chance to win than does thedealer's strategy.

It's only natural that players who start think-ing about how the games work often beginwith, "If hitting all l6s aiid under and stand-ing on 1 7s and above works for the blackjackdealer, why shouldn't it work for the player?"

There are natural questions that arise inother games, too, including "Doesn't bettingthe don't side. in craps mean you're bettingwith the house?" And there is "If the house getsits edge on the zeroes in roulette, aren't thezeroes where your money shouid go?"

My encounter with the deaier's rules playercame in Octobet. He determinedly hit every 16and under, even if the dealer had a 6 or someother weak card face up. He stood on every 17,including the soft kind with an Ace being usedas an 1 1 , no matter what the dealer's hand. Youcan't go bust with one card when hitting a soft17, because the Ace can always be used as a Jinstead.

I keep silent in such situations. The bad playof another is as likely to help me as to hurt me,and I don't give advice unless asked. But ittook only a short time before one 30-ish fellowspoke up. '

"You know you should stand on that," he saidwhen the first player hit a 16 vs. a dealer's 5."Gív the dealer a chance to bust once in awhile."

That's when Mr. Dealer's Rules gave histheory on what's good for the house beinggood for the player.

There's a flaw in that logic, of course, or elseeveryone would be playing the house even atits own gaine. An even game doesn't pay thecasino's bills.

Let's take a look at why following the house'slead doesn't work.

BlackjackPlayers and the dealer play under different

conditions. Players can bust and lose their bets

before the dealer ever plays his hand. 1f bothdealer and player bust, it's the dealer who wins.

If you play a mimic the dealer strategy, youand the dealer will both bust in the same handabout 8 percent of the team. So the house startswith an 8 percent natural edge, and it gives backabout 2.3 percent by paying 3-2 on blackjacks.That takes the house edge down to about 5.7percent, a bit more or less depending on thenumber of decks in play and other house rules.

A game with a 5.7 percent house edge ispretty awful, but fortunately, you don't have tomimic the dealer. By using basic strategy for hit-fing, standing, doubling down and splitting pairs,you can narrow that house edge to a half percentor so. Again, variable depending on house rules.

CrapsAlmost everybody at the table will be betting

with the shooter, and the house makes money. Sowhy not bet the opposite of the main flow of thegame, and bet don't pass?

Because "don't pass" is not purely the op-posite of "pass." If the shooter rolls 12 on thecomeout, that's a loss for pass bettors, but it's nota win for don't pass. It's just a push, getting yourmoney back.

That's enough of an adjustment that the housewill win more often than it loses if you bet don'tpass, just as it will on pass.You're not bettingwith the house when you bet don't pass.You'rebetting against the house in a different way, spot-fing the house a 1 .36 percent edge that's not thatfar removed from the 1.41 percent edge on pass.

RouletteThe notion that the house derives its edge

from the zeroes isn't strictly accurate. Thehouse makes money because it pays off atlevels that would yield an even game if therewere 36 numbers on the wheel, when thereactually are 38, including O and 00.

That same condition is as true if you're bet-ting O or 00 as it is ifyou're betting 3, 16,28or any other number. A single number bet ono at a double-zero wheel will pay 35-1 odds,even though the true odds are 37- 1 . A split beton O and 00 will pay 17-1 odds, even thoughthetrueoddsare 18-1.

When it comes to the outside bets - rediblack, oddleven, first 18/last 18, the dozensand columns - you can't bet on the zeroes.Part of the conditions of the game is that thoseextra numbers are there to facilitate the housepaying at less than true odds.You can bet thezeroes only on inside bets, where they're justpart of the 38-number set, the same as anyother numbers.

There's no such thing as betting with thehouse. Trying to go the house way just sub-jects you to conditions built into the games tomake sure the casino always has the edge.

Steve Earle, plesewrite a. song with me

In 2008, on its third album called 'Love on theInside" the country duo Sugarland released asong entitled "Steve Earle" (lyrics below).

This song is a straight-up Earle-songwritinglove fest. According to the lyrics, Earle kas writtensongs for all his wives as the relationship growsand then dissolves. The singer requests: SteveEarle, please write a song for me." Although thevalidity of the song's claims has not been verified,one thing is not lost in tranalation: Steve Earle isan amazing songwriter.

Grammy Award-winning Earle quickly be-came a master storyteUer. A protégé of legendarysongwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark,Earle's songs have been recorded by JohnnyCash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jen-nings, Travis Tritt, The Pretenders, Joan Baez andcountless others. Last spring, he released his 15thstudio album, 'The Low Highway," to worldwidecritical acclaim. Earle is also an actor and author.

"Copperhead Road," Earle's alterriative-coun-try/country-rock album, was released in 1988.The title song (lyrics to the right) teils the storyof a Vietnam War veteran, a descendant of a ruralmoonshine bootlegging clan, who returns hometo Johnson County, Term. The song also inspireda popu1ar line dance, and it has been used as thetheme music for the Discovery Channel realityseries "Moonshiners." Copperhead Road was anactual road near Mountain City, Term., althoughit has since been renamed Copperhead HollowRoad because the road signs bearing the song's

"Copperhead Read"By Steve Earle

Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore

'Same as my daddy and his daddy before

You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here

He only came to town about twice a year

He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and

some copper line

Everybody knew that he made moonshine

Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad

He headed up the holler with everything he

had

lt's before my time but l've been told

He never came back from Copperhead Road

Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block

Dodge

Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge

Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side

Just shot a poat of primer then he looked

inside

Well him and my uncle tore that egìne down

I still remember that rumblin' sound

Well the sheriff came around in the middle

of the night

Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't

right

He was headed down to Knoxville with the

weekly load

You could smell the whiskey bumin' down

Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday

They draft the white trash first,'round here

anyway

I done two tours of duty in Vietnam

And I came home with a brand new plan

I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico

I plant it up the holler down Copperhead

Road .

Well the D.E.A.s got a chopper in the air

I wake up screaming like I'm back over there

I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't

you know

You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Going to summer camp isabout so much more than justhaving fun and hanging outwith friends. Summer campalso provides a safe environ-ment for children to learnnew skills and gain self-con-fidence, reaching far beyondsummer.

Leain New Skills'The foundation of camp is

having fun, building friend-ships and learning newskills," said Kathy Donahue,director of recreation ser-vices at the Park District ofHighland Park. "We providechildren with many differentand unique opportunities, allof which are learning experi-ences."

Developing new skills andincreased confidence in abili-ties is key at the Park Districtof Highland Park's Camp BigTop/Little Top, one of thepark district's many camp of-ferings where campers learnhow to fly on a trapeze andhow to ride horses and othercircus-related skills. Whenfaced with new and unfa-miliar challenges, campersalso learn the importance ofpatience and persistence asthey try to master new skills.

"Kids go to camp to havefun, and without realizing it,they are learning ail thesenew things," Donahue said.

Self-ConfidenceAt the Northbrook Park

District, the camp philosophyemphasizes the importanceof campers developing astrong sense of self-confi-dence, while creating memo-ries that last a lifetime.

"Camp is an environmentthat provides the opportu-nity to learn new activitiesand increase skills in manyareas, but especially in thesocial aspect," said JonathanPratscher, CPRP, leisureservices supervisor with the

Northbrook Park District."Summer camp teaches kidshow to handle stress, be cou-rageous enough to try newthings and that it'sOK to be yourself."

"The learningopportunities arelimitless at camp,"Pratscher continued."Each day presentsnew challenges andcampers continuallydemonstrate theirability to step out oftheir comfort zoneand try new things."

Pratsher said thathe has observedgroups of camp-ers learning howto trust their peersand witnessed kidslearn the importanceof supporting theirfellow campers dur-ing more difficultsituations.

CoreVJuec. Summer campsat the YMCA are de-signed to encouragethe four core valuesof caring, honesty,respect and respon-sibility, and camperslearn the values, skillsand relationships that leadto positive behaviors, bet-ter health and educationalachievement. In addition tomaking new friends, campersbuild self-confidence whilediscovering new skills anddeveloping a respect for theoutdoors, said Mary Craig,association program directorat the Lake County FamilyYMCA, which has locations inVernon Hills and Waukegan.

II parents wish the very best for theirchild; wishes like happiness, success

school, fulfillment with their lifeand the ability to make and keep friends.Resilient children who can adapt to new situa-tions can only realize each of these attributes.Camps are the perfect place to help childrenlearn to adjust to change, build their copingstrategies and optimize their development.

Why are camps so ideal in buildingresilience? The camp experience provideschildren with simple and complex challengeslike conquering the climbing wall, trying anew sport, making and getting along withnew friends and learning to ask for help.Each challenge encourages them to takemanageable and safe risks away from theirparents without their parents' direction andencouragement. Campers are given thespace to put away their electronic devicesand get a little dirty while developing newrelationships and having fun.

Camps also provide safe settings in whichcampers can start anew without any of thestruggles they carry from school. Campersare able to be themselves and create strongrelationships not only with their peers butalso with their camp counselors. Having such

a solid connection with trusted adults otherthan parents allows children to develop con-fidence and a powerful identity. This doesn'tdevelop by being good at everything; it de-velops by having a great camp counselor thatwill help them find something that they canbe proud of doing well. lt is also these veryrelationships and being part of a group bondand common purpose that cultivate a feelingof belonging and community.

A great camp program often gives childrenchoices to help them feel in control of theircamp experience. This fosters feelings ofcompetence and these feelings of compe-tence allow campers to be better problem-solvers in new situations. Camp programsalso help children develop physicallythrough exercise and enjoy fresh air whilebeing outdoors. Excellent camp programs

. have a good balance of structured and un-structured activities and provide experiencesin a variety of areas like sports, aquatics, artsand adventure.

We know that resilient children are hope-ful, possess high self-worth, are aware of theirweakness and recognize their strengths. Wealso know that resiliency helps with problem-solving skills and promotes the ability tomake good decisions in all aspects of life.Through camp experiences, children aregiven the opportunity to build resilience andmake the very best possible for theirfuture.

Make Seasonal Hiring Easier afld More EfficientBy: John Rossheim. Monster Senior Contributing Wrtter

Any season may be the season of your discontent -- if you don't tke care to source, hire andonboard seasonal workers who represent the best that your business has to offer.

Many pitfalls plague employers that must supplement their full-tme staff for the summer, for taxseason, or for any other portion of the year when business peak4.Most of these troubles stem from

a failure of the company's leadership to devote energy and resorces to assembling an optimalseasonal workforce.

Are you willing to take a fresh look at your seasonal operations t see where you might improve yourstaffing? Consider these 11 approaches to fielding superlative wrkers when the annual rush is on.

Don't assume that high unemployment will make your seasonal hiring a cinch. In fact, we'veexperienced pockets ofthe countrywhere itwas very difficultto fire," saysiennifer Lemcke, chiefoperating officer of Weed Man USA, a lawn-care franchisor. it's leen hard to hire in Detroit."Michigan has very high unemployment; the catch for seasonal eijployers is that extensions ofFederal jobless benefits have made many Michiganders eligible t collect for up to 99 weeks,reducing the motivation to find work, according to Mark Perry, a rofessor of economics atUniversity of Michigan in Flint.

Use sourcing channels that offer a high yield of candidates %ho only want seasonal work.You'll make better seasonal hires faster if you can mine rich veiné of candidates who just want towork for the season. We have tapped into graduating university tudents who are taking time tofigure out what they want to do," says Lemcke.

If your seasonal staff is large, dedicate substantial resources to successful onboarding.Giving seasonal employees the sink-or-swim test could hurtyour bottom line at season's end. Oneof the most common mistakes is throwing seasonal hires on a saes floor with minimal training oronboarding, viewing them as a way to fill a schedule rather than a company representatives toserve your customers," says Nels Wroe, partner and product diretor at SHL Group, a vendor oftalent-assessment tools.

Take time to ensure that job descriptions for seasonal hires i re accurate, complete andup-to-date. We have clients usingjob descriptions that are four )r more years old," says Wroe.Consider asking the author of the job description to spend a few I ours shadowing an employee inthe relevant position. Your customers won't forgive poor service s mply because it's rendered by aseasonal worker.

Consider tools for high-volume hiring and screening. If you're hiring for hundreds or thousandsof seasonal positions, you'll probably benefit from talent-management systems. Our candidateshave doubled or tripled over the last few years, so we need tools t manage the flow," says KyleMartin, manager of talent acquisition at Vail Resorts Management Company in Broomfield,Colorado. Wroe says that with seasonal hires, you have a very limited window to get a return onyour hiring investment. Assessments let you select workers who Will get up to speed more quickly."

Give preference to "same time, next year" candidates. If you're able to select forcandidates most likely to return for another season, do so; it'll streamline your hiring

next year. We'll hire 10,000 seasonal workers in 2010, including about 5,000 who arereturning," says Martin.

Don't shortchange HR and related processes for seasonal employees. You may betempted to save short-term costs by bypassing some HR processes for seasonal employees.

This can bring you trouble on many fronts, from fielding confused workers to running afoulof labor laws. So keep your seasonal workers on your regular HR platform, and disseminate

systems and knowledge to branch offices that are hiring for the season. We supplyfranchisees with information on how to interview and evaluate candidates, with orientationand training programs, and with all the forms they'll need," says Lemcke.

If you use staffing vendors, consider giving just one an exclusive for your seasonalhires. Staffing agencies may be swamped filling the seasonal needs of many clients at once.If you promise one agency all your business, they may be more willing to go the extra mile tobring you the best seasonal workers.

Don't assume that all your seasonal hires are just for the season. Many of yourseasonal workers will never be candidates for permanent positions, but some of them maybe. Tag potential permanent hires early on, keep close tabs on their performance, and at the

end of the season, evaluate their fitness for full-time employment.

Don't neglect your end game. Never assume that your workforce will remain intact throughthe season; it most likely won't. 'ENo matter how much we plan, we still have to hire somepeople toward the end of the season," says Lemcke. Consider structuring compensation toreward seasonal workers for staying as long as you need them. Our lawn-care techniciansget a bonus based on production if they complete the season," Lemcke adds.

THE FEARLESS ACTRESSON FOLLOWING HERHEART, BEFRIENDINGGEORGE CLOONEY &FILMING 'DVERGE\T'IN CHICAGO BY RACHEL HANDLER

Y

hen talking to ShaileneWoodley, it's irnme-diately clear that she'snot your typical starlet.

Right off the bat, shecalls attention to thepeculiarity of the inter-

view process. "How funny are our jobs?" she laughs.

"I'm talking about myself you're asking me about meand we don't know each other."

And while she's hap' to discuss her most recentrole - starring in the March 21 cinematic adaptation ofthe wildly popular, Chicago-based Divergent novels - she'snoticeably more animated when expounding upon on thereal-world causes close to her heart, including, to name justa few, feminism and "re-wilding" (more on that later). Inthe throes of these types of conversations, any Hollywoodposturing falls away and Woodley's voice takes on a musicalquality, rising as she makes a passionate point, falling as shepauses to consider an answer and punctuated by a steady beatof laid-back "dudes" and "mans."

For the wise-beyond-her-years 22-year-old, actinghas nothing to do with celebrity. Yet, almost to herchagrin, she's got fame to spare, thanks to criticallyacclaimed performances in last year's indie hit "TheSpectacular No"2O11's Oscar-winning "The De-scendants" and ABC Family's ratingsjuggemaut "TheSecret Life of the American Teenager." In Woodley'sworld, performing - like everything else she does -is about passion. "It's been the same

since I was five," she says. "I either

have butterflies in my stomach whenI read a script,or I don't. IfI do havebutterflies, I do everything in mypower to be in that film, because it'ssomething my soul asked me to do.'And perhaps because she's following

her heart instead ofchasing fame,each ofWoodley's parts has taughther something about herself. "Youcollect little tidbits ofwisdom as yougo," she says.

"Divergent" more than passedWoodley's butterfly test. Based on the first installment ofthe best-selling young-adult trilogy by Barrington nativeVeronica Roth, the film is set in the not-so-distant futurein Chicago, where every member of society is forced to join

a "faction," or tribe, based on their personality type. WhenWoodley's character Beatrice "Tris" Prior attempts to, well,diverge from the dystopian system, she instigates an epic war.Woodley says she instantly identified with Tris' dissatisfac-tion with the status quo. "Tris is fighting for selflessness andbravery and courage in a world where those things are lookeddown upon. That was an interesting connection to thingsthat are important to me."

Growing up in Simi Valley, Calif, Woodley displayed thatsame sense of purpose. She began modeling at the age of 4,and by the age of 10, she was already guest-starring on TVshows like "The District" and "The OC." She landed herfirst lead role on"The Secret Life of the American Teen-ager" at 17. The show, which ended last year, chronicled hercharacter's coming-of-age as she struggled with teen mother-hood. But it was also a coming-of-age for Woodley, whowrestled with promoting messages she didn't fully support.

¿From top:oodley with TheoJames ¡n "Divergent";

with Ansel Elgort in thisJune's "The Fault in Our

Stars"; with Miles Teller ¡n2013's "The SpectacularNow"; and with Geor

Clooney in 2011's"The Descendants"

"The show did so many beautiftil thingsfor me, and there were times when Ithought the writing was really realisticand truthful," she says. "But there wereother times when it was written from a[viewpoint] I didn't agree with."

Woodley talks about truth a lot, and,likely because ofher experience on "Se-

cret Life," it's become a key criteria in selectingjobs. "WhenI started thinking about acting, I was like, 'Why do I love itso much? Why dol feel so fueled from it?" she says. "AndI realized it's because when I see most films, I leave feelingaffected and inspired and emotionally captivated. And all ofthat has to be based in truth."

That epiphany encouraged Woodley to accept the partof George Clooney's bright, troubled daughter in AlexanderPayne's "The Descendants,"which marked her feature-filmdebut and nabbed her a Golden Globe nomination. But theindustry accolades were nothing compared to what Woodleycalls the "liuè-changing" experience of filming in Hawaii,where she formed lasting bonds with the Cast and crew -particularly Clooney. "He's like my second dad. He's got my

FOR MORE OF OUR NTERVEWWTH SHAILENE. GO

TO

back," she says. "I've never met somebody in the industry

who's more grateful, who pays it forward without talkingabout it in the press or speaking about it to anyone else. Thatto me was the best advice,just learning through his actions."

Living in the lush paradise, Woodley discovered yet

another passion: environmentalism. "It was the first time I'dbeen surrounded by that much nature," she says. "It reallyraised the stakes for the life I wanted to live." After leaving

the island, Woodley got into "re-wilding,"whïch forher means "reconnecting to the ecosystem" by doingthings like eating organically, studying herbalism andspénding time outdoors. She also began using her

. burgeoning fame as a springboard for speaking out in

I the press about the things that mattered to her. "Part

IIofwhat I've been given is an opportunity to talk aboutthings that I feel like need to be talked about, regard-

' less ofwhether people agree with me," she says.In her following movie, "The Spectacular Now,"

Woodley made a bold statement without saying aword. As down-to-earth teen Aimee, she wore nomakeup on screen, and often refused to paint herface for the red carpet in hopes ofprornoting a more

realistic standard ofbeauty for young women. "One big thingfor me is empowering my sisters that are around me, everywoman on this planet," she says. "We got this. We can loveeach other."

The "Divergent" script spoke similarly to Woodley'sfemale-empowering instincts - she found herself drawnto the unorthodox relationship between Tris and her loveinterest. "In a lot ofyoung adult films, relationships are basedon attraction and materialism versus respect, honor andcommunication," she says. "I thought this would be a greatplatform to showcase what love can be. lt doesn't have to besomething that revolves around codependency"

Though Woodley spent several months shooting the filmin Chicago in the summer of2013, playing the lead meantshe rarely had time to explore the city. "I got to know myapartment and I got to know movie sets," she laughs. Duringher limited downtime, she ate at The Publican and thrift-shopped virtually unrecognized, something she knows she'llno longer be able to do once the much-anticipated moviepremieres. But she's not concerned about her snowballingstardom. "I know me, I know my friends and family, and if itever gets to be too much, I'll do something else,"she says.

She's not blufling After she shoots the sequels, "Insur-gent" and "Allegiant,"Woodley's schedule is clear. "Rightnow, I have zero intentions ofdoing another film," she says."Until I read something I'm deeply invested in fim anartistic point ofview, there's no reason to." For now, though,Woodley's fns can still catch her in two big projects set topremiere in 2014: Gres: Araki's "White Bird in a Blizzard,"a moody 1980s thriller that debuted at Sundance, and an-other adaptation of a popular young adult novel, "The Faultin Our Stars."

The latter, a heart-wrenching romance involving a cancer-stricken teen, instilled in her yet another life lesson: "We havea set number ofyears to be alive. Are we going to focus onnegativity and fear and doubt? Or are we going to focus onlove and compassion and kindness and fun and laughter?"

And even as Woodley's focus increasingly turns towardactivism, she's careful not to cast herselfas a heroine. "1 don'teven know that it's bravery or outspokenness - it's just whoI am," she says. "I feel like we have a duty, we have a responsi-

bility to be the best version ofourselves every single day."

can be made anywhere - allit takes is corn whiskey, a charred newoak barrel and a bit of aging. But there'sno better place to learn about the spirit

than in Kentucky, its birthplace. Distilleries of allsizes dot the Louisville area, offering tours, a look atthe distilling process and tastings. We recommenda visit to Buffalo Trace, located an hour outsideLouisville, which produces many labels, includingthe spicy Sazerac rye and the much-revered PappyVan Winkle (113 Great Buffalo Trace, Frankfort;Buffalotracedistillery.com). Or for a trip back in time,head to Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, locatedon Louisville "whiskey row."

AtRappahannock Oyster Company, bivalve fans can check out breedingrooms, where teeny-tiny oysters are cultivated before they're "planted"in the river via cages - in the exact same spot where their ancestorsculled their harvest. If it's not peak season, take a walk down to thewater and try some fresh-shucked, straight-from-the-river oysters -a memorable experience, as the mollusk is most full-flavored wheneaten on the spot.

Heather Walpert & Johnny DivitaBY KRISTIN LARSON

I IIIeather Walpert and Johnny Divita will always remember where they were during this winter's Polar Vortex: "stranded" in Cabo San Lucas,soaking up the sun as newlyweds. Divita, a project manager for Norfolk Southern Railway, and Walpert, the director ofcompliance forDealership Development, exchanged vows Jan. 4 at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort, far away from Chicago's sub-zero temperatures. Thestunning, sandy setting inspired Walpert to keep the other details simple: She chose an all-white theme for everything from the flowers to the

bridesmaids' dresses. The only thing that wasn't white was the bride's gown. "Nobody knew I was wearing blush," she says. "I felt like sucha princess." Afterthe ceremony, Walpert, Divita and their 70 guests sipped cocktails by the fire pits and had a lively dance party under the stars to thesounds of a local mariachiband. And although their fairytale wedding weekend was technically supposed to end the next day, the couple's flight was cancelled due to the inclementweather back at home - which meant spending another three days in paradise along with several of their guests. 'It was crazy, but so amazing to have someextra time," says Walpert. "I didn't want to come back. The whole week was just perfect."

Fewrestaurateurs can

boast that they've runa successful Chi-cago restaurant for

"Kevinreally inspired [the team] whenhe talked about how rare anopportunity it is to be openfor IO years," sa Wolen. 'Heconstantly drives home the pointthat its just as important to berestaurant-driven as chef-driven,[with] great service and atmo-sphere."

Here's what else you canexpect when you step into theupdated Boka:

her recording debut,but music isanything but new fo Ringwald.The daughter ofjaz pianist BobRingwald, she was r,ised listeningto Louis Armstrong Sidney Bechetand Art Tatum. (And thanks to hercountry-music-loving mother, shewas privy to a good 1elping of HankWilliams and Roger Miller, too.)

"My father was verr focused onthe music, rather than the lyrics, soI think that he helpedme the mostin developing an eaI"ays Ringwald."He worked with me on pitch as ayoung person, and on understand-ing rhythm. EssenflaI1 i he taughtme how to 'swing.' I ink I came tounderstanding lyrics turally because

I've always been drawn to words, in allaspects ofmy artistic life."

As a teen she discovered TheBeatles, and shortly after got in toElvis Costello,The Cure, Kite Bush,Squeeze and Thejam. Although shenever lost her love for the standardsshe heard as a child, acting, writingand being a mother drove her life, notmusic, and when Ringwald did beginto entertain the notion of singing,she envisioned a few gigs inlittle jazz clubs," not an album andattendant tour. "Life takes you to un-expected places," she says. "I just make

taken a complete departure fromher acting roots. For the redhead -whose repertoire ranges from "TheVery Thought ofYou" to the "TheBreakfast Club" anthem "Don't You(Forget About Me)" - rendering asong is not so different from inhab-iting a character. "I approach songsas I would approach a scene that Iact, asking myself the same ques-tions: Who is this person? To whomare they singing?" She says. "Somenights it's me singing to someoneI know personally, other nights it'sa character singing to someoneelse from my imagination, or froma book that I read. Some nightsI don't think about anything, andjust feel swept away by the melodyand the poetry in the sounds of thewords, playing together."

MARIA PONCE FOR SPLASH

'The BHngRing' star onher new fHmanc nervousyapproachingher icos

Ifter cutting her teeth at the Ac-tors Training Center in Wilmette,19-year-old Katie Chang got herbig break as the lead ¡n Sofia

Coppola's 2013 film 'The Bling Ring" -before even hiring an agent. This month,the Chicago native and Columbia Univer-sity student stars in "A Birder's Guide toEverything,' which follows a group of teenswho escape into the woods in search of arare bird.

Hitting the books"I remember reading [the script for'A Birder's Guide to Everything']on my living room couch beforemy senior year of high school, andjust laughing out loud. I thought itwas one of the funniest, smartest,sweetest things I'd read in a while.I love writing and I'm a harsh critic,so to read something that really,genuinely made me laugh wasexciting."

Role call"t play a character named Ellen.She's the new girl in school. She'svery intellectual but also cre-ative, and she's headstrong andstubborn. I felt like I had more incommon [with her than with mycharacter in 'The Bling Ring']. I

understood her motivations moreThat was a struggle for me with'The Bling Ring' - it was hardto find a motivation for robbingpeople with no care in the worldBut this girl is just a regular highschool girl and she goes throughregular high school things, andI could certainly relate to that,being in high school myself at thetime."

Set stories"[Being on set] was like going tosummer camp. The dynamic ofthe characters pretty much cameacross off screen, too; I was like themom of the group. Alex [Wolff],Kodi [Smit-NlcPhee], Michael[Chen] and I spent every minutetogether and they definitely an-noyed me, just like my own littlebrothers annoy me - I have noproblem saying that - but at theend of the day, lloved workingwith them,"

Star-struck"Last May at theCannes Film Festival,I was star-struck[meeting] DanielAuteuil. I don't speakFrench [well] and I ended upcompletely messing up and tellinghim lloved a movie he wasn't evenin, I got so flabbergasted. I wouldbe totally beside myself if I metsomebody like Wes Anderson orGeorge Lucas or Kathryn Bigelow- ¡f I met her I would probably justtell her that lloved her and then gocry in a corner."

WTLD WESTAs developers scramble to build in the West Loop,

old properties bring out the meatpackíng district's charmsBY MADELINE NUSSIR

1217 W. Monroe

WhenGoogle announced a move to the West Loop in 2012, a fluny of

developers set their sights on the neighborhood. Now, as Google's «1K"Chicago headquarters - located at 1000 W. Fulton - inches closerto completion, and other tech companies such as Twitter plan their

own West Loop moves, a spate of new developments are following suit, including rentalhigh riSeS and the Soho House hotel. As it is, the hot 'hood has no shortage of renownedrestaurants and entertainment venues, with others on the way. In fact, the only thing notmultiplying in the neighborhood might be its signature converted warehouses - thecharming spaces that initially attracted restaurants and tech ventures, and beforethem, a wave of urban pioneers and art galleries in the 1980s.

It's that rustic, lofted appeal that makes the top floor condo at 1217 W Monroestand out. (Call Koenig and Strey broker Jennifer Mills Klatt, right, at 773-914-4422.) Recently gutted from the shell, the 6,000-square-foot former warehousespace features soaring ceilings, a private elevator and a two-car garage. But what really

drives the $2,795,000 ask is the touch of luxury in the midst of the meatpacking district.The four-and-a-half-bathroom, four-bedroom home boasts modem finishes, a sizablekitchen with sleek Italian cabinetry and Sub-Zero & Wolf and Viking appliances (threefridges and two dishwashers) and a master suite with a floor-to-ceiling tiled bathroomcontaining a freestanding soak tub and his-and-her sinks.

The luxe surroundings won't detract from the neighborhood's appeal as a creative andartist hub - the 81 feet of hallway space is begging for good art from nearby galleries.

For Sun-Times Media

The Chrysler Town & Country has beenthe quintessential luxury minivan since itdebuted in 1989.

The Chrysler Group miruvans are quiteimpressive when you consider their long hstof minivan-first innovations, and the fact theyhave sold more than 13 million copies sincethe Dodge Caravan debuted in 1983.

The Town & Country continues to carrythe torch as the premier luxury minivanin its segment. However, not long ago,Chrysler Group's chairman and CEO, SergioMarchionne, talked of ending production ofthe Town & Country.

That no longer appears to be the case,as there are rumors of a totally redesigned2016 Town & Country due out sometimenext year.

So for now, the Town & Country lives ortIn fact, Chrysler is celebrating the 30th anni-versary of the modern minivanwith the 2014Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition.

search for new and used cars at ToDrive.com

From an affordability standpoint, the2014 ChryslerTown & Country is modestlypriced (starting at $30,765), and it offersa very long list of standard amenities andoptional equipment.

The Touring trim level is the base,although it ham seems fair calling ita base model. It comes standaxtl withleather-trimmed first- and second-row seats,eight-way power fmnt seats, Stow n Co seat-ing with second-mw bucket seats that foldflat into the floor, leather-trirmned steeringwheel with audio controls, a media centerwith 6.5-inch touchscreen, 30GB hard drive,Gracenote music D, voice command andBluetooth, and a second-row high-resolutionnine-inch video screen and DVI) console.

That standard entertainment system alsoincludes an HDMI input, wireless head-phones, video remote control, a 115-voltpower outlet, and two USB charging ports.

Optional with the Touring-Land standardin the Sand Limited trim levels, is the addi-tion of a third-mw high-resolution nine-inchvideo screen.

AU Town & Country models also featurestandard power sliding doors, powertailgate, rearview camera, and a long list ofsafety features.

The 2014 Chrysler Town & Countryis offered in four trim levels; Touring, S,Touring-L, and Limited. All are powered bya potent 3.6-IiterV6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The V6 delivers 283 horsepower andthanks to an ECO mode, Town & Countrycan achieve up to 25 miles per gallon onthe highway.

The V6 very responsive, and it providesplenty of power for tald.ng off from a deadstop and for passing, even when loadeddown with seven passengers.

I am not so fond ofthe tranmnission, though.At times the shifts were intermittent and harsh.Aside from that, there is a lot to hice.

The ride is very smooth and agreeable.With the second- and third-row seats in use,there still 33 cubic-feet of cargo volume.Fold the third row down and that increasesto 83.3 cubic-feet.

PRING BUILDER SHQ CASE

Prime 11f estvlesHousing optionsaboùnd for the55-and-older crowd

BY JOHN ROBERTS

for Sun-Times Media

' ctive" is the key word for the55-and-older crowd, and thatmeans most of that age are look-

ing to live in communities where thereare plenty of options for entertainment,exercise and recreation.

Homeownership rates are very highamong households headed by someone55 or older, according to the Ameri-can Housing Survey, a study releasedin 2011 by the Metbife Mature MarketInstitute. More than two-thirds of 55-plushouseholds own single-family detachedhomes.

Builders and developers in the regionknow all too well how important it is toprovide the right types of housing andoptions for 55-plus communities.

Maples at the Sonatas, a Wilcox Com-munity, spans 24 acres on the north sideof Woodstock. Minutes from Route 47and the historic Woodstock Square, thesubdivision features maintenance-free,single-family ranch luxury homes.

Models have as many as three bed-rooms, two bathrooms and an attachedtwo- or 2.5-car garage, each home com-bining ample living space with thought-

ful design. The homes boast 9-foot trayceilings, European country exteriors andopen floor plans that offer flexible livingspace, including a four-season verandaor a private courtyard, depending on themodel.

The neighborhood includes an on-siteclubhouse, often used as a gatheringlocation for neighbors to enjoy a morn-ing cup of coffee or an afternoon gameof cards. The clubhouse is the hub forweekly social events such as "Coffee& Conversation" and Book Club onTuesdays. This Wilcox community alsoincludes a fitness center and outdoorheated pooi designed for its residents'exclusive use.

Another development that fits thebill for the active 55-plus buyer is amaintenance-free clubhouse commu-nity in Plainfield known as Villas at FoxRun. The community currently has bothsingle-family ranch and luxury ranchhomes under construction with only 22home sites remaining.

The community features several ame-nities, such as a bike trail, clubhouse,fitness center and outdoor heated poolwith a large paved deck and loungechairs.

The clubhouse features a great roomwith cathedral ceilings and open floorplan ideal for meeting a neighbor for acup of coffee or a game of billiards. Thecozy fireplace, recessed lighting andcomfortable seating areas offer a relax-ing setting any time of day.

With an on-site fitness center, there

are no pricey gyms to join or drive to.Equipment includes treadmills, eliipti-cal machines, a weight machine, freeweights and an exercise bicycle.

Each luxury ranch home features manyupscale details and amenities such asrich cabïnetry, hardwood floors, expan-sive windows for lots of natural light andgenerous open floor plans. The ranchhomes and villas boast contemporarydesigns with a European country-styleexterior and elegant seasonal veranda.

The one-level living single-familyhomes feature two bedrooms, twobathrooms, den and a 2.5 car garage.These homes are part of the CourtyardSeries of Wilcox Homes and include thePromenade, Portico and Palazzo models.Signature features include an outdoorcourtyard accessed through slidingglass patio doors. A private oasis, the

courtyard is the perfect location for aquiet dinner with friends or a solo after-noon reading a good book.

Part of the Cathedral Series, the ranchvillas include two models, the Can-terbury and the Abbey. Both offer twobedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-cargarage; however, the Canterbury's dencould be converted into a third bedroomwith ease.With open spaces perfectfor oversized furniture, Pallad.ian-stylewindows and walk-in closets, the Cathe-dral Series provides spacious one-levelliving. The Canterbury also features adouble vanity in the owner's bathroom,while the Abbey has an optional bonusroom.

Foc used o n whole-person we I I nessWhat is whole-person well-

For others, it'sabout building a strong socialnetwork, and the communityprovides opportunities tomake new friends and buildrelationships. The programoffers residents a chance toto achieve their highest levelof well-being in mind, bodyand spirit.

ChAt Blackunplugs forlatest tourBY BRUCE fl(GRAMFor Sun-Times Media

Fansof country superstar

Clint Black have a couple ofbig Clint-related epents to

look forward to soon.Later this yeal Black will be re-

leasing his first album since 2005's"Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic,"and March 28 he'll be bringing hisstripped-down, mostly acoustic,national tour to Skokie' NorthShore Center for the PerformingArts.

We caught up with hin on theroad for a few quick qutionsabout the new album, playingacoustic and keeping things inter-esting after nearly 30yers.

Q: Why have you de1ded todo a mostly acoustic toir now?What appeals to you alout play-ing that way?

A: The idea was to play Amer-ica's great collection of t1eaters.We still have drums, bas, piano,and my lead guitarist [mstly onacoustic guitars], but weve kept itas small as we can to m4e sensein all the venues.

Q: What can people expect tosee? How much of the show Isjust you and a guitar?

A: I start the show alone and

play for 15 or 20 minutes. Then theband joins me and for the earlypart of the show, I share funny tid-bits about the songs we're playing.As the show progresses, though, itbecomes more quickly paced withless anecdotes. And near the endwe introduce some electric guitarsinto the mix.

Q: Is it true you're debutingmaterial from your upcomingalbum?

A: We are playing a few newsongs, but it's mostly hits with afew of my personal favorite albumcuts thrown in.

Q: Will the album have abare-bones musical vibe similarto this tour? What about the ru-mor that it's going to be a largepackage of material - severalalbums worth, plus a DVD?

Clint Black's national tour includes a stop at the North Shore Center for the Perform-¡ng Arts in Skokie March 28.

A: The album is going to have amix of styles, though that's alwaysmy aim. I'm not sure about a DVDor the number of the songs, but wehave the potential to do far morethan a regular CD. It may includesome live music and footage aswell as a couple of covers in trib-ute to my influences.

Q: You're still performingwith musicians you've workedwith for nearly 30 years now -particularly your songwritingpartner Hayden Nicholas. Howdo you account for that, when somany bands and creative part-nerships are lucky to last for 10?

ID CONCERT

Chîcago folk siúgershonor Pete Seeger

BY LULl KUZMAFor Sun-Times Media

When legendary folk artist and activistPete Seeger passed away at the end of Janu-ary at age 94, a shock wave spread throughoutthe music community and the world at large.Despite Seeger's advanced age, it was still asurprise to so many who had been influencedby his life.

Tribute events have been ongoing andan event involving à long list of outstandingChicago-based musicians will be at SPACEin Evanston March 28. Performers includeCorky Siegel, Sons of the Never WrongEddie Holstein, Megon McDonough, MarkDvorak, Justin Roberts, Ingrid Graudins,Chip Covington and Steve Dawson for "If IHad a Hammer: A Tribute to the Life andSongs of Pete Seeger." Tickets have beenseffing quickly, with just standing-room-onlytickets remaining. Proceeds will benefitSeeger's foundation, Hudson River SloopClearwater.

We spoke with one of the event's perform-ers, Mark Dvorak, who is on staff at the OldTown School of Folk Music. Dvorak is alsoa member of Weavermania, a quartet thatrecreates the sound of The Weavers [a groupformed in 1948 by Seeger, along with LeeHays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman.]

Q: The March 28 event at SPACE rn.volves a lot ofmusicians. Will each per-form, or will there be group sings?

A: Mark Dvorak: The idea was to get asmany people involved as possible, and eachperformer to do one or two songs, keep itbrief and keep it moving I'm sure there willbe a group sing at the end. People all over theworld feel a sadness over losing Pete, a verygreat man; this will allow us to share our loss.

Q: The list ofartists reveals an eclecticrange ofperformers, because almost allmusicians have been touched by Pete Insome way, right?

A He touched any kind of music you couldimagine - from children music to balladsto world music. He reinvented the banjo, hepopularized the 12-string guitar. If you are afolksinger, you're lying if you don't say PeteSeeger was an influence.

Q: You're an artist who carries forwardPete Seeger's legacy - In fact you playthe part of Seeger in Weavermania.

A: When I was a new performer and try-ing to learn and make a living Pete had

all the materials. I didn't realize the level ofimpact he had on my growth as a performer,and one of the things I inherited from hisway, was that I became a live performerfirst, and recording artist second.

Q: Did you have occasion to meet PeteSeeger?

A: Sure. Several times. We sang togetherwith Weavermania at the Chicago Histori-cal Society in 2002. I picked him up at theairport a couple of times, had lunch with himon a couple occasions, and talked with him onthe phone. He was thoughtful and considerate.

Gerard Butler might have ,'started the abs-centric trend in

"300.

Hollywood overdoesabs on parade

BY BRUCE INGRAMFilm Critic

Six-packs,

eight-packs, 12-packs, fullcases; abs are definitely a-poppin' inmovies these days.

And personally I wish they'd pop back towherever they carne from. Not that I feelthreatened or inadequate in any way, youunderstand. I'm pretty sure I have a setsomewhere, maybe down in the basement.

No, I just think there's something ridicu-bus about them, basically because they haveno practical application. Pumped-up pecsand bulging biceps can come in very handyin a movie if you're Samson, say, trying topull down the pillars of the temple. But awashboard stomach? Useless except forscrubbing clothes or playing rhythm in askiffle band.

Useless or not, a rectus abdominus withtendinous inscriptions is now standard-issueacting equipment, though it's hard to pindown how that got started. Maybe it was Ge-mrd Butler's brawny loincloth-and-cape lookin the original "300." Maybe it was MatthewMcConaughey doing his shirtless pre-Acade-my Award thing. Me, I blanie Taylor Lautnerin "Twilight." But it doesn't really matterbecause the trend is entrenched. Male movie

stars now pop their tops on the regular.There are so many sets of chiseled abs on

display in the "300" sequel "Rise of an Em-pire" - the Spartans clearly had the bestpersonal trainers in the ancient world -that a colleague was convinced they must becomputer-generated. A buff-bod CG! effectsimilar to the algorithm that makes fur lookrealistic in PD(AR movies.

That wouldn't be surprising, really, but itseems more likely that today in Hollywood agood gym membership is at least as impor-tant as acting classes - maybe more so. Orperhaps it's closer to the mark to say actorsstifi have to be able to emote convincingly,but they have to be able to do it with 3-per-cent body fat. In the recent "Son of God," forexample, even Jesus has abs. A discrete set,it's true, but it was clear he had been doinghis sit-ups.

It wasn't always that way. In the old days,if you wanted to ogle some abs you had to goto a Steve Reeves movie. And in those, act-ing was optional.

Of course, ogling is what this is all about,and that may be all the justification that'sneeded. It's only faii after a hundred yearsof cinematic fixation on what '90s comicPauly Shore might have called "boobage,"that abs should be get equal time.

III FILM CUPS

OPENING FRIDAY

DIVERGENT

Rated PC-13 for intense violence and ac-tion, thematic elements and some sensuality

Stars: Shailene Woodley, Theo James,Kate Winslet, Miles Teller, Jai Courtney

A girl classified "Divergent" (Woodley) ina future society divided into factions basedon abilities, discovers she and others ofher kind have been targeted for extinction.Neil Burger ("The Illusionist") directed thefuturistic thriller.

ENEMY

Rated R for some strong sexual content,graphic nudity and language

Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent,Sarah Gadon

A professor (Gyllenhaal) decides to trackdown his double after spotting him in a mov-ie - and suddenly finds his life dangerouslycomplicated. Denis Villeneuve ("Prisoners")directed the thriller.

MUPPETS MOST WANTED

Rated PG for some mild actionStars: Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, 'T'y BurrellDuring a world tour, the Muppets find

themselves mistaken for a gang of jewelthieves led by a Kermit look-alike. JamesBobin ("The Muppets," "Flight of the Con-chords") returns for the family comedy.

NYMPHOMANIAC: VOL. I

** 1/2Rated: No MPAA ratingStars: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan

Skarsgard, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeoufAfter putting mankind out of its misery

with a cosmic cataclysm in "Melancholia,"Danish director Lars von Trier is backwith another artfully ifimed misanthropicprovocation. This time, the subject is sex(complete with trickily edited hardcoresequences featuring porn-actor stand-ins)and the main character is Joe (Gainsbourg),a soul-deadened lust addict recountingher erotic misadventures to a sympatheticlistener (Skarsgard) who found her beatenin an alley. "The Joy of Sex" it's not, andthings presumably get worse next month involume two.

STILL PLAYING

THE SINGLE MOMS CLUB

Rated PC-13 for some sexual materialand thematic elements

Stars: Nia Long, Amy Smart, WendiMcLendon-Covey, Cocoa Brown, Tyler Perry

A solid base-hit for writer/director/pro-ducer Perry ("A Madea Christmas"). It's alittle heavy on the solidarity vibe, perhaps,

Home-wreckers anonymous: Stacy Martin and Urna

Thurman ¡n "Nymphomaniac."

and a melodramatic meltdown midwayalmost knocks it off course, but it's prettyfunny at times - mainly because it's raun-chier than usual and Brown and McLen-don-Covey strike a few sparks. A group offive very different single moms reluctantlyjoin forces after their kids get into troubleat a ritzy prep school.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL

****Rated R for language, some sexual con-

tent and violenceStars: Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abra-

ham, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, AdrienBrody

If you admire director Wes Anderson athis best ("Rushmore," "The Royal Tenen-baums," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," 2012's "Moon-rise Kingdom"), there's a good chanceyou'll be delighted by this masterfullyexecuted, highly stylized, occasionally per-verse farce. "Grand Budapest Hotel" is thestory of Gustav H (Fiennes in a rare comicrole), legendary concierge ofthe hotel inits 1930s glory days. He's embroiled in anincreasingly complicated struggle involv-ing murder, a priceless stolen painting,young love, an evil aristocrat with a homi-cidal henchman (Brody and Dafoe), moremurders, a prison break and a climacticcross-country chase. It's strange to thinkof Anderson turning out a crowd pleasergiven his eccentric work (on display here),but this may be as close as he gets.

VERONICA MARS

Rated PG-13 for sexuality includingreferences, drug content, violence, stronglanguage

Stars: Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring,Jamie Lee Curtis, Martin Starr

Years after walking away from hercareer as a teen private eye, Veronica(Bell) returns home to help an old flame(Dohring) accused of murder. RobThomas wrote and directed the returnto his hit TV series.

III HOROSCOPES: MARCH 26

AINES (March 21 Io April IO) Puffing

yourself in someone &se's shoes isn't

easy for you. But if you do ¡t, you'll gain

a better perspective of what you need

to do to achieve your goals. Be open to new ideas.

TAURUS (April 2Oto May 20) There

are still some problems you might have

to deal with before moving on to your

next project. lt's a good idea to accept

help from those who share your objectives,

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) h's time

to recognize the difference between

those who are truly concerned for you

and those who simply plan to use your

good nature to their advantage.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Depend-

ing on a promise made becoming a

promise kept could be more than a

mite unwise at this time. lt's best to

proceed on your own rather than wait

for aid that might never arrive.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A recently

revitalized relationship might not be

quite what the Big Cat expected. But

give yourself more time to deal with the

changes. A little flexibility can go a long way. Good luck.

ViRGO (August23to September 22)

A major change could prompt

more adjustments. And some of

them might be difficult to deal

UBRA (September 23 to October 22)

Your sense of justice prompts you to

speak out against an unfair situation,

even if you're the only one to do so. But

you soon learn that many others agree with you.

ScORPIO (October 23 to November21

Creating a fuss is not usually your

style. But that doesn't mean you

should tolerate an ill-mannered at-

titude. Speak up for yourself, and you'll

earn the respect of others.

BY IWG FEATURES SYNDICATE INC.

SAG1TARIUS (November 22 to

December2l)You might havea few loose ends to tie up before

you can stamp your project as

truly complete.

CAPRlORN (December 22 io Jano-

M'y 19) Disappointment darkens the

Goat's mood. But close friends rally to

pull you through with words of encour-agement, so you can rebuild your own self-esteem.

AWJARIUS (January 20 to February

IO) An upcoming decision might bemore difficult with inaccurate informa-

tion. Best to recheck the data you have

at hand now to be sure it won't mislead you later.

PIScES (February 19 to March 20)

An offer you previously turned

down might no longer be available.

But if you do some checking around,

you could find something else that would suit

you just fine.

Loyola's lineup loaded with college recruitsWhile Murray has moved

on to Stanford, Trevians

still feature Marquetterecruit McGuire

BY MATT [email protected], @hamesspreps

The last year the Loyola girlslacrosse team had this many se-niors planning to play the sport incollege was 2010.

Those Ramblers went on to astate championship, the second ina run that now stands at five in arow.

"It's hard to compare, but theyare similar," Loyola coach JohnDwyer said of the 2010 and 2014senior classes.

Going into this season, sevenRamblers are scheduled to play la-crosse at the next level, includingsenior midfielders Annie Dooleyand Maggie Nick. Dooley hassigned with Notre Dame, and Nickhas signed with Stanford.

But there could be a differencebetween the two clubs, Dwyersaid.

"We might be deeper, and wehave a lot of players who can playa lot of positions," the 13th-yearcoach said.

Dwyer said he could play asmany as 18 girls this season from aroster that features 11 sophomoresand freshmen. The coach said thecompetition for playing time hasled to the younger players workingout at multiple positions.

But the veterans also are ver-satile, according to Dwyer. SeniorGieriet Bowen, a Boston Collegerecruit, is a good example.

"Last year, she was an attacker,but she's such a good defender,too," said Dwyer, who probably willplay Bowen as a midfielder thisyear.

Loyola, which went 23-3 a yearago, once again should be thefavorite to win the state title.

"It's a battle-tested group,"Dwyer said. "They are an unselfishgroup, and they trust each other.

Loyola's Gieriet Bowen, who is pictured during the state championship game against Montini on May 31, 2013, exemplifies the

Ramblers' versatilily. She played attacker last season and is a good defender. FILE

When we integrate the youngergirls and get them some experi-ence, we will have a lot of depth."

New Thor

A new era is upon New Trier af-ter last year's graduation of KelseyMurray, arguably the program'sbest-ever player and now a fresh-man attacker at Stanford.

But the Trevians, who finished17-4-1 and third in the state a yearago, aren't exactly starting over.

Senior midfielder CharlotteMcGuire, who has signed to play atMarquette, headlines a team that

is itching to end Loyola's reign.The left-hander is one of the topplayers in the state and will belooked to as one of the Trevians'go-to scorers, according to NewTrier coach Pete Collins.

"She brings a very deter-mined attitude, and she will posematchup problems on the attack,"said Collins, the 14th-year coachwho guided New Trier to the statechampionship in 2008.

Seniors Julie Ball, Betsey Kvamand Bridget Zimmerman are threeother returning starters who willjoin McGuire in the midfield.

"New Trier had the luxury ofhaving a player like Kelsey Mur-ray, and she was a phenomenalasset to have," Loyola coach JohnDwyer said. "But they have a lot oftalented players still there."

Gleiibrook South

The Titans welcome back eightstarters from a team that ad-vanced to the state quarterfinalsand went 13-9 a year ago.

Glenbrook South coach AnnieLesch said the main focus this sea-son is getting the girls to believe inthemselves.

"We have to remain composedin the bigger games and have con-fidence in ourselves as a team," theeighth-year coach said.

Lesch will lean on senior attack-er Calie Nowak, senior defenderKara Stevens and senior goalie EviGountanis this spring.

Clenbrook North

Glenbrook North coach ThomasRosenbaum said his team needsconsistent play from its defense to r,be successful this spring.

It should help that seven of theeight returning starters are fromthe midfield and defense, includingsenior goalie Marielle Billig.

Evanston

The Wildkits welcome back 11 of18 players, including seven start-ers, from a team that finished 9-9during the regular season a yearago.

Evanston's strength rests in themidfield, where seniors Joan Gib-bons, Rachel Kornbluh and KatePingry all are back in uniform.

"We have a very balanced andwell-rounded team this year" sixth-year coach Sarah McKenna said.

Maine South

The Hawks will have as manysophomores (seven) as juniorsand seniors combined, accord-ing to second-year coach CharlesSolomon.

Attacker Lauren Hendry,attacker Abigail Greiber anddefender Jenny Swanson are theonly returning seniors with varsityexperience.

Maine South finished 10-12 lastspring.

RenaKate Houston is in her first

season in charge of the Panthers,who won one game last season.Houston said twice as many girlsare on the roster this spring as ayear ago.

"We have players and coacheswho are energized and excited toget out and play this year," Hous-ton said.

ID GIRLS SOFTBALL SEASON PREViEW NOTEBOOK

Maine South improves strength, conditioningVillalobos' ability to locateher pitches creates

optimism for Maine East

BY MIKE CHAMERNIXFor Sun-Times Media, @MikeChamernik

Like most local softball teams, MaineSouth has practiced indoors for most ofthe season. But, according to coach EmmyPasier, the Hawks have made the most oftheir time off the field.

Pasier said the team needed to get physi-cally stronger and faster, so they've liftedin the weight room and done body-bearingexercises (push-ups, lunges, squats) andsprints during practice.

"We're inside, so let's take advantageof that," Pasier said. 'We have one area ofthe school that has three levels, so let's runstairs."

The Hawks' experienced roster expectsto improve on last year's 9-14 record. MaineSouth has five returning starters. Seniorpitcher Jenna Christie, senior catcher EmilyWolf and junior shortstop Nina Andersonanchor the infield, and juniors CourtneyRichardson and Emily Suwanski will playcenter field and left field, respectively.

"If you're looking at a roster, that's prettynice," Pasier said. "I haven't had the luxuryof returning five starters in a while."

Maine East

The Blue Demons' defense will get a joltfrom freshman pitcher Alex Villalobos.

Villalobos has two primary pitches, afastball and changeup, and pounds the strikezone. Maine East coach Emiliano Hernandezsaid he doesn't expect many walks or wildpitches, so the defense will be more engagedwith a faster game.

"We finally have a girl that's a naturalpitcher, not someone that we've had to con-stantly train," Hernandez said.

Elsewhere, senior Alyssa Matej hasplayed varsity for three years as a shortstop.This year she might play other positions,including the outfield.

"She's just a good athlete," Hernandezsaid. "She can play anywhere on the dia-mond."

"They've been orking for this season,"Reynolds said. "They're probably the mostcommitted team I've ever had."

Senior pitcher ayton Genis returns tothe circle after mising most of last yearwith injuries.

Her twin sister Paylor Genis is a good-hitting first baseman.

Junior Val Sherman will play third basefor senior Jill Rashid, a 2013 all-conferenceplayer who's likely out this season aftershoulder surgery, according to Reynolds.

Hiles NorthNiles North's lack of situational experience

hurt the team last season. This year, coachKarin Wick has incorporated game situa-tions and challenges hito practices. Batters,for instance, don't get 10 batting practiceswings; they have to work the count and onlyget three strikes.

"I'm hoping that when we get to those biggames, that we actually perform like we'vebeen there before," Wick said.

Niles North has eight sophomores, butsenior Sarah Benjamin is a standout offen-sive player and team leader in the outfield.Benjamin hit three home runs and had an.856 OPS in 2013, along with only two fieldingerrors and four assists.

"Every year her arm and bat gets stron-get;" Wìck said. "She's a girl that works hardon and offthe field."

Ridgewood

With 10 sophomores, including pitcherSarah Straughn, Ridgewood is veryyoung. Senior Arlena D'Amato, a quicksecond baseman, is the team's veteranleader.

The Rebels have practiced primarilyindoors. They have worked on all aspects ofthe gaine, splitting the team up and workingon offense and defense equally.

"We just vary what we do to try to keepeveryone interested and working hard,"coach Steve Poznansky said.

Once again this season, the Maine Southgirls soccer team almost certainly will haveto find a way past powerhouses Loyola andNew Trier if it wants to win a sectional title.

The Hawks went 13-5-7 last year and lostto Loyola in the Class 3A sectional semifi-nals. If there is any advantage Maine Southmight have over the Ramblers and Trevians- and both teams could be even better thanthey were a year ago - it's experience.

Though the Hawks lost 35-goal-scorerAffison Curry to graduation, the team haseight seniors who played a year ago andit welcomes back senior midfielder JessieSchmidt, a DePaul signee who missed lastseason with an ACL injury

"We haven't even voted on captainsyet," Maine South coach JJ Crawford said."This is the first year I honestly don't knowwho will be [the captains] because [all theseniors] would do a great job. We'll vote forthree, but all could be captains because oftheir leadership ability, how serious they areand their drive to want to do well. We're ingood hands."

Up front, senior Lexi Kiotis, who hascommitted to Dominican in River Forest, isexpected to fill some of the scoring void leftby Curry's departure.

Hilos North

Vikings third-year coach Paul Elkins saidthe bar has been raised slightly after theschool's boys soccer team captured thatprogram's first CSL North title in the fall.

"I think the boys winning this year madean impact on our school and the girls areaware of that and it's meaningful for thegirls," Elkins said. "[This season] is kind ofthe first tüne we brought that up for ourteam, the first time we talked about [win-ning conference] and the goal for us to win aconference championship."

Elkins returns most of the impact playersfrom a team that went 7-9-3 last season andhe said the defense should be the strength ofthis year's team.

Tirovolas also has 13 career assists andis tied for fifth on the school's all-time list.Zielke ranks first with 18.

Niles West coach Brett Clish said he's stilltrying to decide which formation will bringout the best in Tirovolas again this season.

"She's continuing to get better and workon her game, on her shot, her speed andeverything" he said. "We're trying to figureout if it will just be Vicki [up topi or we'll playtwo up there. We're switching it around [inpreseasoni practice to see what fits us best."

The Wolves, who went 8-14-1 last season,remain a young team, with just two seniors,sevenjuniors, 11 sophomores and two fresh-men.

Maine East

Though the Blue Demons went just 3-17last year, coach Julie Dickinson said ail signspoint to improvement this spring.

One reason for Dickinson's optimism isMaine East has more club players than ever,which is due in large part to two-year-oldlocal club team Olympiacos. In addition toplaying more soccer, athletes from the fivecommunities that feed into Maine East areplaying together in the offseason.

"[This preseason] their touch on the ballis better, their conditioning is better andthey're starting at a level we normally haveto work to get to," Dickinson said.

Ridgewood

The Nardulli family continues to supplythe Rebels with plenty of soccer talent. Thisyear, freshman Gabriella Nardulli will joinher older sister Cettina, a senior midfielder,on the squad.

Two years ago, Cettina Narduili andolder sister Annalisa Nardulli were part of aRidgewood team that reached the Class IAsectional final.

Now, Gabriella Nardulli joins the programwith a stellar reputation and a chance tostrike up a partnership with her sister in themidfield.

"[Gabriella Nardullii can dribble, passand shoot with both feet and has great fieldawareness and composure," Ridgewoodcoach Kenny Caslin said. "Cettina andGabriella are playing on the same team, andthis combination might prove to have morechemistry than the first Nardulli connec-tion."

Notre Dame baseball coachNelson Gord tried something radi-cal two years ago when he useda different pitcher in each inningduring the Dons' playoff run.

Gord doesn't plan to use thatexact same strategy this year, buthe'll try something similar. TheDons have four quality starters -senior Pat Dillon, sophomore SainFerri, junior Joe Rimac and juniorAdnan Sator - and Gord said heplans on having them each throwabout 2-3 innings an outing, andmake two appearances a week.The goal is to keep hitters fromgetting acclimated to a pitcher,Gord explained, and it also will lethim use the staff's top pitchersmore.

«In any game, the first timethrough the order, the pitcheralways has the advantage - he'sgoing to be fresh, you haven'tseen what he has that day," Gordsaid. "Then you get to the secondtime through the lineup, and thatcompetitive edge goes down a littlebit. And the third time throughthe lineup is really where it startstipping in favor of hitters becausethe pitcher's fatigued [and] you'vealready seen him twice. So reallyanything that we can do to keep

.,it in our pitchers' favor, and ourdefense's favor, why not do that?"

Gord said he tentatively plansto use Dillon and Rimac in thesame game, and pair Sator withFerri. Sator (verbally committedto pitch at Kansas) and Ferri (ver-bally committed to catch at NotreDame) are both Division I recruits.

Replacing the college playersand many other above-averagehigh school players doesn't fazeMaine South coach Bill Milano. Hesaid the Hawks have enough skillon this year's roster to challengeNew Trier and Glenbrook; Southfor a CSL South champioiship.

Maine South will be led by se-nior center fielder Gehrig Parker,a Butler recruit, and senior BobbyPennington. Pennington, who wasthe squad's closer last yeai is ex-pected to be the ace of the pitchingstaff. Junior shortstop Caleb de-Marigny and junior catcher ZachParker - Gehrig Parker's youngerbrother - also figure to haveprominent roles for the HWkS.

Things will look different forNues North up the middle thisyear. Junior Tony Granato is theteam's first-year starting centerfielder, and while senior Ari Coneis back at shortstop, he's also theteam's No. i pitcher. That meanscoach Ed Toledo will have toshuffle his middle infield whenCone is on the mound.

Sophomore Alex Nanut, juniorChris Jefferies and freshmanJiovanny Sanchez all figure to seetime at second base and shortstopthis year.

Junior Anthony Sanchez willmove from left field to catcher thisseason to replace Gabe Dwyer,who had been the Vikings' starterbehind the plate the last threeseasons.

Dwyer is a member of theIllinois-Chicago baseball team.

Star freshman players are now common in college basketball. But none hove yet to matchMichigan's Fab Five freshmen in 1991-92. They lost the NCAA title game, but set a record thatstill stands: 68.5% of Michigan's playing time that season was consumed by freshmen. Texas cameclose in 2006-07 with a mark of 67.8%, but didn't get past the second round of March Madness,What about Kentucky's famous one-and-done title team oI 201 1 -12, from which three freshmenwould be selected in the first round of the NBA draft? Freshmen accounted for "only" 54% of thatteam's minutes.

Who knows what Ralph Kiner's home run numbers would have been if his career hadn't beenshortened by injury? Over his first seven seasons in the majors, from i 946 through i 952 with thethen-lowly Pirates, Kiner led his league in homers every single year. Nobody else has ever done that.And he still holds the record for most long balls in a player's first five seasons with 21 5. The onlyother player in history with even 200 in his first five years was Albert Pujols at 201 . Kiner passedaway in February of 2014.

You can't coach height, but if you're lucky enough to have it - really have it - your odds of playingin the NBA are pretty darn good. The chances of an American male aged 20 to 40 who stands 6'2"to 6'4" making it to the NBA is approximately one in 50,000. But get this - if you're an Americanmale aged 20 to 40 who measures at least 7 feet tall, your chances are one n six.
