The recent sweater-weath-er makes it feel like autumn has arrived ahead

of time, and soon enough it will sound like autumn — because when the leaves turn color, the leaf blowers get turned on re-peatedly.

How early and late can you operate them in the North Shore? What about lawn mowers and other property-maintenance machines? How noisy can it get?

Every working day, Patricia Galli leaves her Buffalo Grove home and heads for Pastificio,

where she is the second-generation

family member to head up the take-home gourmet store specializing in Northern Italian cuisine and pasta.

Pastificio at 122 Highwood Avenue is one of the North Shore’s better-kept secrets. Pastificio, which

in Italian means macaroni factory, was founded 38 years ago by the Amidei/Galli family. Patricia “grew up in the kitchen” helping her mom, Elsa Amidei, while she earned a degree in education from Loyola University. They used the Old World recipes of grandmother Nora Brugioni.

According to Patricia, Pastificio’s tradition of Northern Italian cooking stems from family recipes

originating in Italy’s mountainous region of Emilia-Romangna, near the city of Modena.

“We pay careful attention to capture the original flavors of the pastas and meats identified by this style of cooking,” she said.

The head football coach of the victorious team on opening night walked off

his home field, fielding questions about a 45-6 victory. Chuck Sp-agnoli had a spring in his step on a pleasant summer night.

His Lake Forest High School Scouts had looked mightier than Dunbar High School’s Mighty-men had on Aug. 28. The march-ing band was in midseason form — and sound. The aroma of grilled fare wafting above the concession stand and packed bleachers was four-star-restau-rant worthy.

And it didn’t rain.“It’s a great time of the year to

be a high school athlete,” Spag-noli said. “Most schools in the area had just opened, and every-body is enthusiastic about the first few days of school, about the first football game. We had a great crowd here. The weather was great.

“We don’t thank this commu-nity enough, including me. It’s a pleasure playing in front of this community, in this type of atmo-sphere.”

Imagine a 50-something man tossing underhanded throws to scurrying receivers as an army of second-graders try to sack

him. Imagine him crafting nick-names for each one, as simple as Sid or as crazy as J.K. Knutter-man. Imagine his booming voice exhorting a youngster to “show some pride” before compliment-ing the boy for immediately ex-pending extra effort.

Frank Ward died at 95 last month. The impact of the former Lake Forest Country Day School coach is immeasurable.

In second grade, we were in-troduced, no doubt on the ath-letic field. The timing was impec-cable: earlier that spring, my passion for sports was ignited by the Chicago Blackhawks’ playoff run (I still remember they beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 in each of four consecutive games) and then from watching the Chicago Cubs.

His certificates handed out for sports accomplishment from those years were cherished and still reside in a scrapbook. I checked them recently. Here are some phrases from the certificate

celebrating the January Indoor Marathon Run:

“Grueling Test of Stamina”“The Will to Persevere”“The Joy of Effort”Talk about a guy who enter-

tained a band of kids day after day, year after year. So many memorable phrases: Anyone stumbling around under a fly ball

looked like a “drunken sailor;” an athletic contest ended only when he yelled, “She’s all over.” In base-ball, his suicide squeeze sign was unmistakable (though unfortu-nately unprintable).

Lake Forest native E.M. Swift — a longtime Sports Illustrated writer — offered the definitive look of the coach in a book called, appropriately enough, “Coaches.” Frank joined the likes of Casey Stengel and Al McGuire in a series of essays examining 25 coaches.

His sharing of a cassette tape from the 1970s revealing Frank announcing a first-grade wres-tling match is priceless.

“Kent’s as fast as a cat. He’s as fast as a cat without whiskers. Oh, man! He’s got him tied in a knot. He’s chasing his man all over the lot. No touching the competitors. Any man touching the competi-tors will be asked to leave. He almost had him by the big toe! Stay with him, Kent.”

Wrestling was one sport in a seeming armada of choices. We leaped over hurdles. Boxed each other. Engaged in chin-up con-tests. Ran the bunny trail. Played

football, baseball, and soccer through ninth grade. Records were proudly posted; one young man even lifted six extra points through the uprights in a season (big brother Jolly Sweet).

Though he left LFCDS in 1982, Frank was not forgotten. A group composed mainly of his former athletes, the Secret Pan-thers, raised hundreds of thou-sands of dollars in the past 15 years to help Frank and his late wife Jeanne live in a nice retire-ment home in Charlottesville, Va. Such an active retirement is rare — he shot the put and tossed a discus into his 80s.

There’s a quote in “Coaches” uttered by Frank to which I fully subscribe: “There’s nothing better to build spirit in youth than having success in sports.”

Thanks to Frank, many of us fondly recall that spirit he helped instill.

Enjoy the weekend.

tenance and outdoor construc-tion activities. The village trust-ees have been discussing the issue due to resident complaints about noise.

Lake Bluff did not take action at the meeting, and there was no consensus on establishing per-missible times for landscaping and yard work. But the trustees said they do not want to estab-lish a licensing process for land-scape firms, said Village Admin-istrator Drew Irvin.

The data compiled by Lake Bluff staff indicates that Glencoe, Highland Park and Lake Forest all require licenses for landscap-ing contractors, with fees ranging from $100 to $125 depending on the town and season.

A few other data points of the towns studied:

•All of the towns have regula-

tions for construction hours.•Lake Forest permits con-

struction until 8 p.m. on week nights, which is one to two hours later than the other towns.

•Lincolnshire, Highland Park and Glencoe don’t allow any construction work on Sundays, and Glencoe also doesn’t allow any landscaping/yard work on Sundays.

•Lake Forest and Glencoe are the only towns among the eight that have regulations specific to landscaping and yard work.

•Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Highland Park and Glencoe have specific hours-of-operation regulations regarding leaf blowers, while Lincolnshire, Libertyville and Northfield have none.

• Deerfield does not permit leaf blowers (but this is not gen-erally enforced during permis-sible construction hours).

The mother of a cancer sur-vivor wanted to show her thanks by starting a service

board enlisting high school stu-dents to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).

Students from New Trier High School, and Loyola Academy and North Shore Country Day School assembled in Auguest for a Find a Cure Service Board meeting.  Alison Sierens founded the board in honor of her 11-year-old daughter Kendall.

“It’s a way for me and my other daughters to give back, and we are so excited to have so many other high school kids committed to doing this with us,” said Sierens.

Kendall was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia when she was two years old. As cited by the Na-tional Cancer Institute, childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many immature lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).

After undergoing chemo-therapy, spinal taps, and many steroids, Kendall has been leading an active lifestyle.

“Kendall is doing great,” her mom said.

At the meeting, Rep. Robert Dold (R-10th), a New Trier alumnus, spoke about his role in

helping to pass the 21st Century Cures Act in the House and how it will update the clinical trial process and provide more funds to the National Institutes of Health so that cancer patients can receive the best treatments pos-sible. The Cures Act still needs to go through the Senate.

Sierens met Rep. Dold in Washington, D.C., where she volunteers for the Advocacy Com-mittee and lobbies for patient healthcare. She also volunteers for the LLS Light the Night Walk in Glenview. She created the Find a Cure Board through the Student Series Arm of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Sierens lives in Glencoe with her husband Robert and their four girls: Ryan, Jaime, Kendall and Payton. Robert served on the board of the Illinois chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for six years until his term recently ended.

Find a Cure will hold two fun-draisers in the fall and two more in the spring. The first event will be a car wash from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Takiff Center, 999 Green Bay Road, Glencoe.

as being made with only the finest durum and semolina flours and egg whites. Farm-fresh carrots, celery, onions and tomatoes are peeled and hand cut. Fresh garlic cloves are hand pressed to ensure garden fresh-ness. Only extra virgin olive oil and unsalted, sweet butter are used to enhance taste.

Broths are made from scratch with fresh beef or chicken, plus carrots, celery, onions and herbs. Pastificio offers 36 different heat-and-serve entrees, includ-ing 20 varieties of freshly-dried pastas; 15 red and white sauces; soups; gourmet breads; and des-serts, to mention just a few.

From the Galli family’s 15-acre farm in Wadsworth come tomatoes, parsley, zuc-chini, basil, eggplant and peppers. Pastificio dries, cans

and freezes much of the produce to use during Highwood’s long winters.

Patricia’s uncle came to America to garden for a family in Lake Forest, and her grand-father was a stone mason. The family came from the Emilia-Romagna Region that is flanked by Tuscany on the south, Liguria on the west and Venezia Giulia on the north. Today, this region is known for its pork delicacies including Zamboni (stuffed pork trotters), balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese and wines.

Patricia hopes for the day when her younger daughter, Tatiana, will take her place as the third generation to run the business. Tatiana has received her master’s certificate in culi-nary arts and is working in Flor-ence, Italy. Mom wonders if love will impact Tatiana’s decision to join Pastificio.

HighwoodTo honor the lives lost on

Sept. 11, 2001, the City of Highwood will unveil a sculp-ture containing a remnant of the World Trade Center tower debris created by local artist Julia Rotblatt-Amrany on Sept. 11 at 11 a.m. in front of Highwood City Hall, 17 Highwood Ave.

The World Trade Center piece was a gift to the City of Highwood, and this bronze-and-stainless-steel piece entitled “Solace” depicts a fireman taking a moment to acknowledge those who perished on that day. 

  “This piece was created to serve as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the heinous act of terrorism,” says Rotblatt-Amrany.  “Solace came as we joined together as a nation to weather the loss and as we con-tinue to remember and honor those who died on that day.”

 Midwest Young Artists will be onsite singing the national anthem, as well as Highland Park High School’s Chamber group, Voices Rising.  A light reception will follow the dedica-tion, and the public is welcome. 

  The Falberg and Amrany families donated this sculpture to the City of Highwood.

Three’s a charm aT WinneTka grillBy Simon murray

They say the best things in life come in threes.

Omne trium perfectum — which roughly translated means “everything that comes in threes is perfect” — says as much. Think of structured storytelling, which has a decisive beginning, middle, and end. Or Hollywood’s infatuation with trilogies. And then, of course, there’s the Three Musketeers, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and Three Little Pigs. (If you’re a beer drinker, Three Floyds.) It’s in comedy too: So a priest, a rabbi, and a monk walk into a bar…

I can’t be sure if Trifecta Grill was named for this reason. Or if the grill’s new Trifecta Trio Tacos were arranged in a pleasing manner to satisfying the numerical gods. Or if, in fact, Patrick O’Neill named his modern neighborhood restaurant to reflect the number of

restaurants he owns in Winnetka. (Hint: it’s more than two.)

But in betting parlance, a tri-fecta is defined as “selecting the three finishers of a race in the correct order,” and if I was a betting man (I am) I would select Patrick, his wife Mary, and chef Juan Ruelas to split the winner’s podium.

“Me, Patrick, and Mary — we decide all the menus,” says Ruelas. The decisive troika started with Mary, who wanted a dish with little bites that could complement the cocktail menu. So the triumvirate came up with a plate of tacos that would be the perfect pairing for patio dining, or what executive chef Josh Keating calls “the late-night social scene.”

As for the tacos, “you have the pico de gallo, which is kind of like a salad on top — tomatoes, red onions, and jalapenos,” says Ruelas. “It’s really refreshing when it’s hot outside.”

The tacos will also complement other sets of threes on the menu: a trio of “Faves” (lobster shrimp cake, tuna sashimi, and chicken chipotle lollipop), a slider trio, and fries trio. Now feel free to make a delicious representation of the dish at home. You can say that again. You can say that again. You can say that again.

Trifecta Grill is located at 501 Chestnut St in Winnetka. Call 847-441-1700 for reservations.

ServeS: 8-10

Red Chili Adobo Pork Taco1 pound pork loin, cut into ¼ inch cubes1 small can Chipotle in Adobo Sauce (use 2 tablespoons adobo sauce and 2 whole chipotles)½ small red onion, diced1 garlic clove, minced1 poblano pepper, dried and deseeded (rehydrate in 1 cup of warm water)1 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil½ cup pineapple, Diced

Allow pork loin to marinate for six hours before grilling in refrigerator. In a large sauté pan, sear meat on high until nicely seared (about 6-10 minutes) then lower heat to medium and finish cooking until cooked all the way through.

Musings by Mike Lubow

North Shorts

L ife on the North Shore is perking up now that sum-mer’s sluggish stretch called

the “dog days” has slunk away.You know about the dog days.

But you might not know where the name came from. It has nothing to do with your dog. We’ll explain...

But first, you can’t help but look back and think: Hey, that was weird for a while. Fewer emails and texts. A calendar with empty squares. A lot of little to do.

Guess it made sense. Friends and colleagues were on vacation.

Kids were at camp. Work slowed. Meetings and projects were kicked down the road. Days and nights were warm and lazy.

TV shows were reruns. Your favorite news anchor had someone else sitting in. Maybe your ball team took a late summer nosedive; it’s been known to happen.

Why is this time of year called the dog days?

In case you might not have heard the arcane story, here goes. They coincide with the rising of the dog star, Sirius.

This bright, binary orb is in the

dog-shaped constellation Canis Major and glows before sunrise in July and August. Ancient Greeks and Romans named this torpid period after that star — and the name stuck.

The dog’s pretty much offstage now. With the approach of Labor Day, the pace of life on the North Shore is getting a kick in the behind. School’s back, work stress is ramping up, emails and texts are cluttering devices again.

The lull is over. And you might be starting to miss the dog days of summer — when Sirius made everything a little less serious.

CITAdEL ThEATREPhotography by Robin Subar

Held at the Mundelein property of Adrian and Nancy Smith, the Citadel Theatre Company’s Second Annual Summer Gala welcomed more than 350 guests and raised more than $200,000.

After the mid-summer storms lifted, attendees enjoyed a delightful evening that included food, drink, and flash mobs per-forming selections from Broadway classics like Hair and Hairspray, as well as dueling Ethel Merman look-alikes. The festive at-mosphere kept guests dancing well into the night.

Citadel Theatre Company will use the funds raised to enhance theatre arts educa-tion with scholarship programs for the underprivileged in Lake County, as well as bring in equity actors and technical profes-sionals for the 2015-2016 theatre season.

Raising more than $1 million for Ravinia’s REACH*TEACH*PLAY education programs, the Women’s Board held its annual black-tie gala the first weekend in August at the festival’s grounds, hosting more than 650 guests.

Maxim Vengerov highlighted the all-Tchaikovsky evening with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, con-ducted by James Conlon. A post-concert dinner was served, which in-cluded a surprise performance by pianist Kevin Murphy.

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

The Luxury hOme COmmunITyModern luxury homebuyers are looking for more than just a spacious floor plan and world class amenities inside the home—today’s luxury is defined by the lifestyle and values, not just the home’s construction and its rooms! Country clubs and golf communities are two choices that have remained enduringly popular for the luxury homeowner—but the 21st century has given homeowners a diverse range of choices in defining what means luxury to the individual buyer, their lifestyle, recreation and values. Contemporary living, forwardthinking options—here’s just a sampling of the luxury lifestyle communities available for prospective home buyers to choose from:Equestrian. Steadily gaining popularity, equestrians and horse enthusiasts are delighting in the return of the gentleman’s farm to the luxury home market. In this type of lifestyle community, elegance meets functionality in developments with riding trails and stables that carry on a noble tradition. Vintage Luxury Homes. These communities fuse modern convenience, technological upgrades to historic constructions, blending yesterday’s charm with today’s modern amenities to perfectly balance family values, unique architecture and sumptuous living.Aviation. Piloting communities are one of the newest types of luxury communities, with aviation enthusiasts enjoying access to private landing strips and hangars in the privacy and convenience of their own backyards. Marinas. For those to whom the sea calls, marina communities offer boat slips, docks and wharf access to navigable bodies of water, offering homeowners the ultimate in luxury—waterfront living and the convenience of a marina without surplus fees or excess travel time.Private Reserve. For the greenwise homeowner, nature lover or ecologically-minded home buyer, private reserve communities offer the experience of living on open-space acreages with an abundance of protected natural life, strict regulation of urban sprawl and the conveniences and amenities associated with upscale living—camping, if you will, luxury-style!

Eric Eshoo, known for his undying exuberance for the game of football, didn’t make

an issue out of it.Why would he?But the anticipation had to be

killing him inside.Ball, please.In Loyola Academy’s season-

opening win over visiting Milwau-kee Marquette 35-0 on Aug. 29, the Ramblers ran 17 plays before even targeting Eshoo.

And how did the prized tight end/wide-out take that?

In stride.Eshoo, a great team player,

simply waited his turn.And that turn came — in a big

way — on LA’s 18th play of the game.

Eshoo used a double move on a play-action play down the seam, made a leaping grab and turned Emmett Clifford’s pass into a 40-yard gain.

“A perfectly thrown ball by Emmett,” said Eshoo.

The lone imperfection? Eshoo’s knee went down at the Marquette three-yard line.

It will go down as an uh-oh moment for the speedy 6-foot-5, 225-pound receiver.

“(Not scoring) is going to haunt me forever,” said Eshoo, with a smile.

There’s precedence.“This is the second time that I’ve

been taken down inside the five-yard line,” said Eshoo, referring to a play against Brother Rice in a Prep Bowl semifinal last year. “My team-mates were on me for that. And they will be again. Hopefully, I will take the next one to the house.”

The ribbing is all in good fun.“Yeah, we like to mess with him

about that,” Clifford said. “We like to ask him, ‘Now how did you not score on that play?’ ”

Eshoo’s afternoon also included a 20-yard reception in the second quarter, which set up LA’s fifth touchdown of the game. He also made his share of key blocks.

“Teams will be keying on Eric this year,” said Clifford, who fin-ished the game completing 7 of 11 passes for 122 yards. “With his

speed, size and catch radius, he’s a real mismatch for defenses. He’ll get his fair share of touches.”

“Eric is going to be a force for us,” added LA head coach John Holecek. “A weapon.”

Last fall, Eshoo caught just eight passes for 151 yards.

But, according to his coach, he ended up as one of the team’s “end-of-the-year” sensations.

Need proof? Click on his football highlights on the Internet.

By summer, despite not having a huge reputation, Eshoo had become a pass-catching revelation.

The tight end/wide-out proved to be one of the under-the-radar darlings after participating in summer showcases hosted by Illi-nois, Northwestern and Boston College.

“I went up against some great competition,” said Eshoo. “I took something out of each showcase I attended.”

Eshoo ended up with 13 schol-arship offers. He eventually received the one he really wanted. On June 23, he made a verbal commitment to Northwestern.

“At the end of the season is when he took over,” said Holecek. “And what got him extra notice was the way he ran downfield on kickoffs. That’s when he showed his speed and toughness.”

With his 4.65 40-yard time, Eshoo, an all-around athlete who used to play baseball and basketball, finds a way to get to open.

“Eric’s a tough guy to cover,” said LA outside linebacker Cross Daffada. “He can move. He’s got great speed for his size.

“Going up against him in prac-tice definitely makes me better,” Daffada adds. “And I’m thankful for that.”

Eshoo, who usually lines up in the slot, is not the only receiver who stands out for Loyola. This team has an assembly line of tall pass catchers, including 6-3 Thomas Smart, 6-4 Robert Sullivan and 6-5 Jake Marwede.

All of them are skilled.Thus, Clifford intends to throw

plenty of jump balls.On the opening series against

Marquette, Clifford completed a back-shoulder 17-yard TD pass to Smart.

“It’s one of the hardest passes to throw,” said Clifford. “But we’ve been working a lot on it. We’ve got

the timing down pretty well.”Smart, a standout third baseman

on the LA baseball team, finished the game with three catches for 41 yards.

Marwede, a former quarterback,

hauled in two passes for 32 yards.And Sullivan caught a 15-yard

TD pass off a deflection.“It’s nice to have big targets,

especially when you’re getting pres-sured,” said Clifford. “I have a lot

of faith in my receivers. I know that they’ll bail me out at times. They will either come down with the ball or they will keep the defender from coming down with it.”

Notable: Welcome to Sackville. Sparked by junior outside line-backer Cross Daffada, the Ramblers finished the game with eight quar-terback sacks. They also had four other tackles for loss.

Daffada was a star, finishing with two sacks, a 12-yard tackle for loss on a run play, a forced fumble and an interception. Daffada (5-foot-9, 200 pounds) has found a home in LA’s defense. As a junior last year, No. 93 lined up at defensive line and saw very little time. In the offseason, he was tried at inside linebacker before being switched to outside linebacker. He wound up having the game of his life against Marquette. “Cross plays with a lot of tenacity. He’s explosive. And he’s tough as nails,” said LA head coach John Holecek. … The other leaders on defense were Ben LeRoy (QB sack), Frank Doherty (TFL, fumble recovery), Mickey Kane (5 tackles, 2 sacks), Ted Falkenhayn (4 tackles, sack), Jack Hough (sack, tipped pass) and Sean Tully (sack). … Senior running back Dara Laja rushed for 44 yards and three TDs. Jack Loper rushed six times for 47 yards before leaving the game with an injury… Place-kicker Patrick Tata went 5-for-5 on PAT kicks. … Loyola junior wide receiver David Terrell caught two five-yard passes in the fourth quarter. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder is the son of ex-Chicago Bear wide-out David Terrell, a first-round pick (8th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. … For the second year in a row, LA tossed a shutout at Milwaukee Marquette. Last year, the Ramblers won 44-0 at Hart Field in Milwaukee. Marquette recovered well a year ago. The Hill-toppers finished the 2014 season 11-3, advancing to the Division I (largest enrollment division in Wisconsin) semifinals. … The Ramblers will visit Maine South in Week Two action on Sept. 4 (7 p.m.).

24 | saturday september 5 | sunday september 6 2015 the north shore weekend

Like many high school foot-ball players last weekend, New Trier High School

junior Eric Nicholas had a “wel-come-to-the-varsity” moment.

It came late in the first quarter of the Trevians’ season-opening 28-14 triumph over York in Northfield on Aug. 28.

Nicholas, playing free safety, allowed York’s speedy senior running back, Lucas Alexander, to get behind him on a deep route. Alexander hauled in a 51-yard pass from quarterback Johnny DiCanio. Nicholas did recover to bring down Alexander with a touchdown-saving tackle.

But six plays later, York found the end zone, taking a 14-7 lead.

“Coaches were telling us before the game that varsity football is a lot faster, and I was able to see that,” said Nicholas, who played quarterback on the sophomore team in 2014. “Last year, I didn’t play a lot of safety and I’m just trying to get into a new position and learning the skills for it.”

It was part of a sloppy first half for the Trevians, who gave up a few big plays and had some costly penalties in a contest that was tied 14-14 at the break.

But New Trier cleaned things up in the second half, and Nich-olas finished with a night to re-member.

Playing wide receiver, Nicho-las caught a 59-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, which proved to be the game-winner. He also made several key plays on defense, none bigger than a third-down pass breakup early in the fourth quarter.

“The big touchdown is what everybody remembers,” New Trier second-year head coach Brian Doll said. “But what I’m going to remember is defen-sively, (Nicholas) helped us a lot. Eric is somebody you’ll see on

the field both sides, as much as possible. As he grows, conditions better and gets stronger, I think he’ll be a dominant force on both sides of the ball.”

Nicholas’ touchdown came with 10:10 remaining in the fourth quarter and put New Trier up 21-14. Trevians junior quar-terback Clay Czyzynski, moving to his right, found his good friend Nicholas, who had slipped in behind the cornerback.

“It was a rollout play. My main receiver got caught up in the main

pile,” Czyzynski said. “Then, I saw Eric in front of him and I trust Eric so much with his speed and the way he can catch the ball. It gave us the lead and got every-one going, gave the defense energy to back out on the field.”

It was the only catch of the night for the 6-foot-1, 170-pounder. But it was a magical moment for Nicholas, who has been waiting to make plays for the Trevians since watching his older brother, Frank, do so as the starting quarterback in 2012 and

2013. “It’s really special. I would

always come out when my brother played. I love being here,” said Eric, who did receive varsity call-ups during the last two post-seasons and got one carry in last year’s Class 8A playoff game against eventual state champion Stevenson.

 With classmate Czyzynski establishing himself as the Trev-ians’ No. 1 signal caller last season, Nicholas knew he would not be playing the same position as his

brother did on varsity. But he said he’s happy to be a major target for Czyzynski.

“Clay is one of my good friends, so I have (no problem) with him being quarterback. I love wide receiver,” said Nicholas, who said he believes he is the team’s fourth-string quarterback.

Nicholas said he is expecting to emulate his brother in playing on successful New Trier teams. Both of Frank’s squads qualified for the state playoffs. However, Eric is hoping to have a little

better luck thank Frank, who missed games because of injuries during both of his varsity seasons.

“His career was cut short because of injuries. It’s a bummer when you get injured like that,” said Eric about Frank, who spent last season as a redshirt at Colgate before transferring to Miami (Fla.), where he does not play football.

 Eric added: “My brother is a great player. To see him go down like that, where you can’t do anything for the team after that … I definitely want to be able to go all the way through and see what I can do.”

Notable: Clay Czyzynski was 5-for-11 passing for 148 yards and a touchdown. He carried the ball 15 times for 119 yards and two scores. … Czyzynski put the Trevians up 7-6 with a 5-yard run with 3:42 remaining in the first quarter. He then capped off the scoring with a 27-yard run with 1:01 remaining in the fourth. … Trailing 14-7 midway through the second quarter, New Trier tied the game on a 63-yard touchdown run by junior Francis Fay (5 carries, 86 yards). Junior running back Max Rosenthal had 11 carries for 42 yards. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Rosenthal made a major impact at inside linebacker. “(Rosenthal) is just a man,” said NT coach Brian Doll. “I was really impressed with how physical he was tonight. He’s a force.” … The Trevians were without talented senior line-backer/receiver Colin Casas, who is out with what Doll de-scribed as a leg injury that “is not a tear.” The coach hopes Casas will be back on Sept. 4 at Warren Township High School or the following week at Maine West High School.

What LFHS fans will likely be thankful for, each week, in 2015: the Scouts’ passing attack. Senior quarterback Danny Carollo and his backup, junior Charlie Reinkemeyer, combined for 226 passing yards and five touchdowns.

Scouts senior Brian Doherty came down with six receptions for a game-high 96 yards, with two of the grabs resulting in TDs. Reinkemeyer (2-of-4, 56 yards, TD) tossed a 36-yard scoring strike to Doherty in the first quarter. Carollo (13-of-18, 170 yards, 4 TDs) found the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Doherty for a seven-yard TD connection in the second quarter.

Until his freshman year at LFHS, Doherty, whenever he played organized football, was a … quarterback.

Or The Man.Or The Voice in the Huddle.Or The Coach on the Field.“Got beat out by Carollo,”

Doherty, not bitter at all, recalled. “I do like to help our quarter-backs warm up on the sideline. That’s still fun, getting the arm going.”

Where is Doherty on the QB depth chart?

“That’s probably a big number,” he said, smiling. “I might see action at quarterback, but only if

a bunch of our guys break their legs and the coaches decide to ask me to run some ‘Wildcat’ plays.”

Doherty considered himself an “in the background player” for a Class 6A state quarterfinalist (8-4) last fall. He did, though, contribute an 80-yard TD recep-tion against Mundelein, a fore-front-player feat. He is already comfortable with his primary roles this fall: to be a serious threat as a possession receiver and as a stretch-the-field target.

“I try to be a playmaker, compete every down,” Doherty, a captain, said. “We have a lot of weapons, and we have a great quarterback. If we’re facing a third-and-20, it’s nice knowing we all believe we’re going to get a first down.

“Our student section tonight,” he added, “was the best. We put on a show for them.”

Scouts senior running back Quinn Julian, speedy and gifted enough to emerge as a showstop-per each time he touches pigskin, rushed seven times for 47 yards and caught three passes for 48 yards against Dunbar. He caught two TD passes from Carollo, and his nine-yard TD run in the third quarter extended the home team’s lead to 44-0.

LF led 38-0 at the half.“[Carollo] knows his stuff, and

our line does a good job of pro-

tecting him and giving him plenty of time to pass,” Julian said. “We have a really good throwing game, guys know and execute their assignments well … and [Doherty], I like his height, his reach. He’s reliable.”

Scouts senior running back Mac Altounian (5 rushes, 31 yards) caught only one pass, an 18-yarder, but it was worth six points. Junior Andrew Athenson kicked a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, moments after an interception by junior linebacker Gabriel Funk on a first-and-10 from the Dunbar 40-yard line.

Lake Forest senior running back Christopher Meng needed only two carries to gain 45 yards.

Scouts senior defensive back Gary Plaster had one of two sacks for the victors, dropping Might-ymen quarterback Angelo Charles for an eight-yard loss in the second quarter. Junior line-backer Cal Wonham recorded the other sack. John Deering, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound sophomore linebacker, delivered a huge hit on the final play of the first quarter, and Meng received heaps of praise from his coaches and teammates after his special-team tackle following a kickoff in the second quarter.

“We started out kind of incon-sistently,” Spagnoli said, referring to a pair of penalties on the

Scouts’ first drive, which stalled at Lake Forest’s 28-yard line. “Other than that, we played hard, executed well, hustled. We were reasonably efficient. We dropped only one pass, I think. We didn’t miss tackles. Good game.”

Good start.Eight more games to go.At least.

Notable: LFHS visits Niles North High School (1-0) on Sept. 4 (7 p.m.). The Vikings, 5-5 a year ago, beat host Shepard High School 63-32 in a season opener on Aug. 28. … Former Buffalo Grove High School and University of Notre Dame stand-out and current Chicago fire-fighter Tom Zbikowski, 30, joined the Lake Forest High School football staff this summer. The safety played for the Balti-more Ravens (2008-11) and the Indianapolis Colts (2012). “He’s a nice addition to the staff,” Sp-agnoli said. “The kids know who he is, where he played, the type of player he was.” … A Lake Forest Academy-Lake Forest High School field hockey game was the undercard event for the Scouts’ season-opening football game on Aug. 28. LFHS edged LFA 2-1 to improve to 3-0. … Danny Carollo’s first punt of 2015 was a dandy, traveling 59 yards to Dunbar’s 13-yard line at 9:26 of the first quarter.

Who needs a Corvette or a Dodge Viper, when you’ve got a Penick?

Highland Park High School running back D.J. Penick Jr. showed off his 0-to-60 speed on a number of occasions in his team’s wildly entertaining 41-34 season-opening loss to host Hersey High School on Aug. 28.

On his very first carry in Ar-lington Heights, the 5-foot-10, 190-pound supercharged tail-back broke a couple of tackles at the line of scrimmage and raced a breathtaking 78 yards into the end zone.

It was … only the beginning.He was just getting revved up. By the time four quarters had

passed, Penick had passed way over the 300-mark. He finished with 375 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

Tackles broken? Unknown.Revolutions per minute

(RPMs)? Unknown.Yards per carry? 13.39.“Unbelievable,” said first-year

HP head coach Joe Horeni. “Most running backs don’t get that many yards in five games. He gets it in one.”

Penick, a star wrestler for the Giants, also proved to be pretty good at stiff-arming defenders and dishing out loads of praise to his teammates — especially those who labor in the trenches.

“I couldn’t have done anything without my linemen,” said Penick, referring to center Joseph Sereda; guards Gabriel Guzman and Tucker Thompson; tackles Adam Danzig and David Bar-

rette; and tight end Samuel Gordon. “Those yards weren’t only my yards, but they were their yards. And my touchdowns weren’t only my touchdowns, but they were their touchdowns.”

In addition to his 78-yarder, Penick, who amassed 201 yards on 11 carries in the first half, had runs of 58 and 52 yards. He rushed for 10 yards or more 11 times. His other TD runs mea-sured three yards and seven yards.

HP quarterback, Toby Tigges, wound up with 92 passing yards, including a 38-yard toss to Jet Mendes on the final play of the game. The senior also scored on a 4-yard run with 1:06 left in the third quarter to put the Giants ahead 20-19.

Defensively, the Giants were led by Cristian Volpentesta (8 tackles), Robert McCraren (6 tackles), Joseph White (6 tackles) and Lucas Marks (5 tackles). Jordan Mendiola had a five-yard quarterback sack and six-yard tackle for loss. Garth Reingold’s night included two sacks.

Hersey was led by QB Tommy Jackson (17-26-0, 384 yards, 6 TDs) and wide receiver Kamil Jackowski (5-155 yards, 2 TDs).

“That’s a good football team we just played,” said Horeni, who prepares his team for a home game against Lakes on Sept. 4 (7 p.m.) “And I thought we had an outstanding effort. We had some guys dealing with injuries. We had some guys fighting through adversity.”

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

26 | saturday september 5 | sunday september 6 2015 the north shore weekend

By Simon murray

Meeting Kevin Magnuson for breakfast at the 3rd Coast Café & Wine Bar

is limited by mobility, or the lack thereof. The reason: the hockey agent is in a black Velcro walking boot.

An ex-hockey player like his father, Blackhawks legend Keith Magnuson, Kevin was watching Metallica perform at this year’s Lollapalooza when, spurned on by the unholy heavy metal, mosh pits of fiery fandom opened up before him like apocalyptic sink-holes. No stranger to colliding bodies, Magnuson, 38, entered the fray.

Things were going fine until he got decked from behind — a cheap shot, even by the standards of mosh pit denizens — and felt something snap in his foot.

“I got up, and with all the adrenaline made it out of there,” says Magnuson over an egg-whites omelet and a side of fruit. “But I knew something wasn’t right.”

Turns out he was right: two bones were broken. Hence the boot, and hence the reason for meeting at the neighborhood café, only blocks away from his Gold Coast apartment that he shares with his wife, Mary Clare, and 9-month old son Gunnar.

The timing, however, could not have been more perfect. The 2015 NHL draft was held in late June, and less than a week after was the beginning of the head-spin-ning hours of free agency. That

meant deals, deals, deals. From September to May, Magnuson will be on the road, scouting or visiting with current clients. Which means August was the only month he could afford to be sidelined.

“I’m not getting fat while re-covering in this boot!” vows the former professional athlete, refer-ring in particular to the side of fruit.

Growing up in Lake Forest, Magnuson was the cornerstone of the high school’s hockey team. Keith was adamant his son play for his hometown, an “if-I-was-good-enough-they’d-find-me type of thing.”

He was, and they did. After his senior year, the Dubuque Fighting Saints, a junior hockey team, drafted him. That year, in 1994, the Tribune ran a spotlight on the young Magnuson titled “Chip Off The Old Blackhawk” with a blurb that reads like an incantation:

“Take the red hair, dye it blond.Take the No. 3 on the jersey, multiply by nine.Take the red-hot chili temper, add a sprinkle of '90s cool.”

Minus the famous gap-toothed grin, there you have, in essence, the younger Magnuson, who would go on to play for the University of Michigan. Magnu-son would rub — or more likely knock —shoulders with future NHL stars — one of which being goalie phenom Marty Turco, who led the team to a national cham-pionship after beating Boston College in a tense, overtime

victor y in 1998.

“Over my four years, I played with five lawyers —includ-i n g

myself — and four

doctors,” says Magnuson,

crediting long-time coach Red Berenson for sustaining a program that teaches Wolverines how to succeed on and off the ice. “He’s created and sustained a high-athletic, high-academic threshold.”

After graduation, Magnuson had a brief but overall satisfying career playing two seasons for the East Coast Hockey League, a premier AA mid-level league a tier below the feeder teams of the American Hockey League. Magnuson bounced around, eventually landing with the Richmond Renegades in Vir-ginia.

Says Magnuson, “I started

brainstorming with my Dad next steps, and he’s like ‘Well, have you thought about becoming an agent?’”

An opportunity came in the form of Senator George Allen,

who came to one of the team’s practices. Like Magnuson, he

too was the son of a sporting father; Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach George

Allen. Magnuson fol-lowed up and was offered a job two weeks later.

By then, however, he was playing the best hockey of his career after being traded to the

Roanoke Express. He was hesitant to leave his hockey

career behind for good. He thought about staying put in the ECHL and told his father as much.

“And my Dad goes: ‘No you’re not. You’re not doing it, it’s time to move forward,’” recalls Mag-nuson. “I was really upset at the time, but looking back, he knew what he was talking about.”

Magnuson went to his father’s alma mater, the University of Denver, with the sole purpose of becoming an agent. The year was 2003. Dec. 15 was the last day of finals for Magnuson — his first year of law school — when the car his father was sitting in as a passenger swerved into the on-coming lane and collided with another vehicle, killing Magnu-son. He was 56 years old. The funeral at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Forest was packed to the rafters, just like old

Chicago Stadium during the defenseman’s heyday.

“Your whole world melts,” says Magnuson. “I can picture it like it was yesterday.”

After moving home to be closer to his family, Magnuson graduated from DePaul Univer-sity Law School in the spring of 2006. Two years later, the Black-hawks retired Magnuson’s number 3.

Kevin procured a job with Marty Turco’s former agent, Kurt Overhardt, and is now a partner with KO Sports. He helps rep-resent more than 25 NHL hockey players and considers Overhardt a good friend and mentor.

This summer, Magnuson helped negotiate a five-year, $21.25 million contract for his client, Nashville Predators’ center Craig Smith, and one worth $6.3 million over three years for St. Louis Blues’ defen-seman Ian Cole.

Magnuson credits his father’s passion and belief in him as the necessary push he needed to make it through law school. He brings that same warmth and guidance to his clients, of whom he looks after like younger brothers. Magnuson admits that he can’t see himself doing any-thing else — boot or no boot, fruit or no fruit — and it all came down to that opportunity that Keith wanted him to take so badly.

Says Magnuson, “I said yes — and it was the best decision of my life.”
