city from the water is sight to behold

the name North Shore exists because of Chicago. it’s so big and important, the suburbs near the lake heading toward Wisconsin are merely considered a group-ing of towns in the shadow of skyscrap-

ers.So it behooves north Shore residents — especial-

ly since a train ride is no more than an hour from the farthest village — to visit Chicago whenever possible. recently, i went with my 11-year-old daugh-ter Hannah, and we jumped on a boat for a 75-minute Chicago river architectural cruise.

Talk about a great way to see a city admired worldwide for its architecture and to learn about its history. Starting just west of Navy Pier, all of a sudden we were engulfed by towering buildings on either side. Watching the El chug by over the traffic on Wells Street, while pedestrians waved from the drawbridge, is a sight unique to the Windy City. We found out that what separates modern buildings from, say, the Wrigley Building is a lack of orna-mentation, saw where Mrs. o’Leary’s cow kicked over the lantern — and enjoyed a view of the Willis Tower (once the world’s tallest, it only ranks 10th

these days) in the reflection of another building. The price of progress was evident: The monstrous Old Chicago Main Post Office is abandoned and looked it, and we were told it’s mainly used for Hollywood filming, including two “Batman” movies.

The new boat featured benches with flexible backs, a comfort I had never experienced. Though it driz-zled intermittently and was chilly for a July day (a surprise to most passengers, who were bedecked in shorts), the crew offered panchos to all. To stay warm, my daughter ordered a hot chocolate, while I opted for a vodka and cranberry — only $5, a price never seen on land.

The architectural cruise is but one of the great activities available in the summer downtown. it’s always good to remember how fortunate we are to live near a vibrant American city.

enjoy the weekend.

A few guests arrive at a beautiful house on the north shore and sit on a piece of furniture that’s fresh off a House Beautiful magazine shoot.

A flat screen television, built snugly into a wall, is on.Pizza aroma wafts and makes the guests’ stomachs growl.Thirty minutes later two of the guests stand up, briefly

disrupting the pillows on the couch.Time for some fresh air, right?not quite.All of the guests in the scenario have been outdoors —

on a patio — since their arrival.At a time when indoor basketball courts at homes are

steadily supplanting makeshift hoops courts on driveways, homeowners are spilling parts of their great-looking inte-rior to their great outdoors onto surfaces like bluestone and terrazzo.

“Patios are becoming outside family rooms,” says Greg Fisher, a broker at @properties in Highland Park. “So much goes on outside when the weather is nice. People are enter-taining out there, while using an outdoor kitchen, grill or oven. And pools aren’t just for swimming; the pool area is becoming more of a spa area.

“The word,” he adds, “is ‘extension.’ What you see outside of a home looks a lot like what’s inside that home.”

Elegant furniture is finally getting its day in the sun.Make that, DAYS in the sun.“Upscale pieces of furniture in outside spaces … I started

seeing that in patio areas about five to seven years ago,” says Susan Maman, a broker at @properties in Winnetka. “People are doing more things than ever out there, spend-ing more time in an elaborate area in a [summer] season that sometimes doesn’t last very long.”

Decks were trendy escapes from the indoors 20 years ago, notes Blanche Romey, a broker at Coldwell Banker in winnetka.

They’ve essentially been decked — by patios.“Patios are hot now,” Romey says. “I’ve seen patios

surrounded by beautiful gardens … gardens that have a European look, a European feel. People like that. Sitting walls in patio areas are visually appealing and useful, especially when a lot of people are over.

“One of the common questions I get asked about a patio area is the condition of the patio’s surface. They typically ask, ‘Is it too lumpy?’ Patios and pool areas are really important to homeowners.”

Homeowners have broadened the use of smart home technology to control what goes on outdoors, meaning their thumbs get a well-deserved break from all that iPhone usage and their index fingers get to tap-tap another gadget.

“Keypads are now in changing rooms [near outdoor pools],” says Jeannie Kurtzhalts, a broker at @properties in Winnetka and Glenview. “It’s there where a homeowner can adjust the lights near the pool or maybe warm up the pool a half hour before swimming. You can turn on a pool’s fountain with the keypad. You also can use it to put a rectangular pool to bed at night, setting the automatic pool cover in motion.

“You’re not going to believe me when I say this,” she

adds, “but I found more homeowners installed outdoor pools when the market was down. They wanted to stay at home instead of traveling all over the world for a family vacation; they wanted their own little Four Seasons Hotel experience at home.”

Folks want privacy when they’re splish-splashing in glass-tiled pools (salt-water versions continue to rise in popular-ity) or using a patio area to entertain family and friends.

Or reading a book in shade provided by an ivy-covered pergola.

That’s when a creative landscape architect enters the picture.

“Homeowners want these spaces to be intimate places,” says Steve Kooyenga, a senior landscape architect at Chalet Nursery in Wilmette. “We address their concerns when we meet with them and suggest ways to ensure their privacy. A strategically placed tree provides that; it also could cre-ate necessary shade for parts of a patio space.

“The last thing you want to do at home in the middle of the summer,” he adds, “is head indoors to seek relief from areas that are too hot because they don’t have enough shade.”

The thing homeowners want more than anything else in their outdoor spaces is balance: some sun, some shade; a couch here, a sitting wall there; a tranquil waterfall to the right; the enticing sound of a hot tub’s jets to the left.

“People are creating an oasis for entertaining outside the home,” says Mary Ann Kollar, a broker at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group in Lake Forest. ■

While some see Elvis Presley in potato chips, Geoffrey Charlton-Perrin saw Richard Nixon in a tree branch.

Actually, while walking his two dogs, he saw what could have been the former President with a little sculpting help. And, at that moment, a 20-year hobby was born.

Charlton-Perrin has created dogs, cats, sea creatures, picture frames, and Thingama drawers, as well as U.S. presidents — all from what other people see as trash, items that have been discarded or are laying in public spaces.

“What was thrown away gets to live a second life — and probably a more colorful one,” says the 30-year Northbrook resident.

Brown and white dogs sit on his living room table. A yellow cat sits by the fireplace. Everywhere you look in Charlton-Perrin ’s Northbrook home, there are whimsical characters, signs of his handiwork. At Christmastime, the walls get even more filled as another nine creations make their way out of storage.

An outsider artist (meaning he has not had any formal training), Charlton-Perrin is sure his creations would have a different feel to them if he had been schooled in art.

“Outsider artists think differently. Training is not always an advantage,” Charlton-Perrin says. “There are certain qualities you get with outsider artists. There is a sponta-neity that you get.”

He made the decision to forgo formal training early in life. While in English boarding school, Charlton-Perrin had to decide between industrial arts (woodworking), art and music.

“I figured I could study the arts on my own and develop an appreciation. I figured I could also study music on my own and develop an appreciation,” he says. “So I decided to go with woodworking.”

That ability to envision creations from chunks of wood has served Charlton-Perrin well in his hobby. Working in advertising for most of his life — including running his own ad agency — Charlton-Perrin is used to tapping into

his creative side for projects. Charlton-Perrin has only sold one of his works, that to

a company that insisted on having one of his Thingama drawers for its reception area. His works are gifts for family and friends, as well as decorations throughout his home.

The self-taught artist is not interested in mass-producing things that would sell, the way some professional artists do.

“I never do anything twice,” Charlton-Perrin said. “I go to art shows and I see several of the same things because that is what sells for them. It is how they make their liv-ing. For me, it would be hard to make a living at it since I don’t produce the same items.”

Once Charlton-Perrin gets started on a project, he

normally completes it in a month or two. His creations include Jean-Luc the Juggler, a 4 ½-foot piece hanging on a wall in his home; Winston, a three-dimensional, cigar-smoking bulldog; Zoe, an affectionate basset hound; Broom Hilda; and Chicken Lady, a 2 ½-foot figurine inspired by his son’s thin-legged mother-in-law.

An area of his basement serves as his studio; his garage serves as a storage area. He is proud of the chairs he has “rescued” and given a second life.

“My wife is very tolerant,” Charlton-Perrin says with a smile. “She will say something about it when my storing of things gets out of control, but she is very good about all of it.” ■

■ by sam eichner

When Todd Kessler was a teenager, he wanted to be a rock star in the way other kids wanted to be astronauts: abstractly, with only a vague notion of what being a rock star actually entailed.

He listened to Green Day’s “Dukie” obsessively before delving into the hallmarks of 1990s grunge, bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. He wore “the same flannel shirt to seventh grade” practically every day.

In freshman year of high school, he formed his first band, Wyze Fool (years later, he affectionately named his record label Wyze Guy Records). But it wasn’t until his senior year at Glenbrook North High School, when his band played the big talent show, that he realized he wanted to pursue music as a career.

“That first night, 1,500 people screaming …” Kessler recalls. “That was when I knew.”

In the years that followed, Kessler worked vig-ilantly writing and performing his music. Open microphone nights led to paying gigs, which led to valuable collaborations — which led to more frequent and better-paying gigs.

From 2006 to 2012, Kessler recorded four solo albums and one album with his band, The New Folk.

Then came a break: in mid-2012, Kessler tried out for the third season of NBC’s “The Voice.” After three auditions, Kessler made it to the taped “blind audi-tion” in front of the show’s celebrity judges.

“If a chair turns, you’re on the show,” Kessler says, referring to the judges’ decision. “If a chair doesn’t turn, you just lost three weeks of your life.”

Fortunately, Cee Lo Green swiveled around in his chair. And though Kessler was eliminated in the second round, the experience left a lasting impact.

“It’s a huge sense of validation, even just getting to the blind audition,” Kessler says. “About 150 peo-ple got there out of the 100,000 or so who tried out. Making the show, nobody can ever take that away from me.”

Now, having made the most of his stint on “The Voice,” Kessler is nearly ready to release a single from his band’s second album, entitled “Exactly Where I Should Be.”

“It was a direct response to coming home from real-ity television,” Kessler says of the song. “Because reality television and reality are not the same thing.”

The single is a slight departure from the band’s first full-length effort, Sea Fever; unbridled by pro-fessional polish and the constricting lushness of a pop-folk sound, “Exactly Where I Should Be” has room to breathe, to patiently coalesce in the spaces Kessler is no longer afraid to leave blank. The album that follows will be, in Kessler’s own words, scaled back — “a little more down to earth.”

So while Kessler may never become the rock star he once imagined he’d be, he’s already attained some-thing much more realistic: a career as a musician.

“what I realized as a freshman in college is that being a rock star isn’t a real thing,” Kessler says. “My entire livelihood is music. In a sense, I’m already living the dream." ■

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, forward-thinking options—here’s just a sampling of the luxury lifestyle communities available for prospective home buyers to choose from:

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bipartisan workforce In-novation and Opportunity Act, which included elements of U.S. Congressman Brad Schneider’s (D-10th) America works Act and Learn Act.

The America works Act would bring educators and industry together to develop better skills training programs. The Learn Act would expand on-the-job training programs.

“One of the most common challenges I hear from the many employers I visit in my district is that they have numer-ous job openings, but they are strug-gling to find qualified workers with the specific skills needed for those jobs,” said Schneider, a Deerfield native. “It’s critical that we equip our workforce with the skills needed to compete, and this bill helps accomplish just that.”

Traffic can once again traverse Shermer Road between Willow Road and west Lake Avenue with the reopening of the roadway underneath the new rail-road viaduct.

The railroad bridge collapsed two years ago under the weight of coal-filled rail cars, which were derailed when the freight train encountered overheated track that had expanded and buckled. Two Glenview residents were killed in the derailment.

As a result of a cooperative effort by Union Pacific Railroad, the villages of Glenview and Northbrook, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois Commerce Commission and the Federal Railroad Administration, an improved 149-foot-long bridge — with a 57-foot clear span — was set in place in november.

Repairing and repaving the Shermer segment was the last action necessitated by the July 4, 2012 accident.

Police are warning business owners and residents of phone scams that has been occurring in the area.

Two northbrook businesses were tar-geted July 9 by a caller stating that it was Commonwealth Edison seeking payment for an overdue bill and requiring money be sent via Green Dot, a pre-paid credit card. In one of the incidents, a business on Holste Road purchased a Green Dot card and provided $433.86 to the caller.

In the other case, a business on Janke

Drive was going to provide $1,700 for an “unpaid bill” through Green Dot, but stopped when it was realized that the call was a scam.

Police said the con artists will pose as representatives of a utility or government agency, such as the Internal Revenue Service, seeking payment.

“They will advise that there was an error in your taxes or a late bill, and that you need to get a prepaid credit card and give them the access code immediately to avoid penalties, disconnection of the util-ity or even jail,” Northbrook police noted in a press release.

Police said northbrook residents and business owners with questions or con-cerns can call the Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit at (847) 664-4427.

The Northbrook Park District has teamed up with the nonprofit Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation (PSPF) to provide sun protective swim shirts for campers.

As part of a pilot program, the Park District gave two sun protective shirts to each child enrolled in Camp All S.T.A.R., a specialty camp that emphasizes science, technology, art and recreation for children in first and second grades.

The protective shirts can prevent sun damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer by providing broad spectrum UV protec-tion (the equivalent of UPF 50+).

The nonprofit foundation, founded by local dermatologist Amy Brodsky, advo-cates the use of sun protective shirts, also called sun shields, during swim instruc-tion to raise sun safety awareness and prevent skin cancers in youth.

Glencoe resident Mike Walther was not yet 40 when he first considered one of life’s great questions, posed to him by his wife, Beverly.

What would you do if you retired right now?Looking back, Walther said the answer came eas-

ily. His dream job was to simplify financial planning for families with special-needs members.

A certified financial planner and certified public accountant, Walther had long worked with well-off clients on plans to attain their retirement goals — but his passion lay in the work he conducted away from the office, with the National Association for Down Syndrome and with the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Foundation.

A year after his wife’s question, Walther merged his professional expertise with his personal inter-est and opened the doors of Oak wealth Advisors. The Deerfield firm provides financial advice and other support to families with special needs. Most of walther’s clients have a child who has been diag-nosed with a disability; others are caring for an ail-ing parent or a spouse after a catastrophic injury creates the need for full-time care.

“There are challenges for both the older person who is losing the ability to care for himself or make sound decisions and the younger person who has indi-cated that they won’t ever develop these skills,” says Walther, whose firm manages more than $100 mil-lion. “The families all need someone to step in and navigate with them when they are overwhelmed by all the things they need to deal with.”

Consider this estimate: Autism Speaks puts the cost of caring for an autistic person over his or her lifetime at $2.3 million. Health insurance helps defray the expense, but families shoulder much of that burden, as the support available from govern-ment programs is constantly in flux.

walter compares himself to a pilot for the families.“Ninety percent of flights are not on course but 99

percent land safely,” he said. “People have retirement goals, and we can’t forget about your needs. Maybe your goal is for all your kids to go to college, or maybe

it’s that you want your child with special needs to have safe housing and oversight and opportunities for employment. These are not mutually exclusive.”

At her desk down the hall, Director of Special Needs Planning Randi Gillespie works with Walther’s clients to navigate everything except their financial needs. She connects families with social services, educational resources and other support programs.

“I develop plans for families so that they feel they have a course for the lifespan of their family, not just for one child,” said Gillespie, a Northbrook mother of three. “There is no crystal ball for anyone, and the unexpected is very scary for people. But there are benefits for the child and support for the family, no matter what they want to do — if they want to go to Disney World or college or something else entirely.”

It’s a resource she sought nine years ago when her middle child, Maddy, was born with Down syndrome. The first financial advisor Gillespie and her husband visited six months after Maddy’s arrival made their heads spin. They put their financial plans on hold for several months out of frustration.

In contrast, Walther points to his younger brother as an example of what good planning can accomplish. Sean Walther is autistic, and doctors suggested early on that he would never walk or talk. But the Walther family persevered, and at age 44 Sean is a high school graduate with a full-time job, an active social life with his peers, and a passion for golf.

“What’s not to like about a life like that?” Walther says. “Poor planning leaves resources on the table.”

Gillespie offered advice for families who feel as overwhelmed as she did nine years ago.

“You have to educate yourself and learn as early as you are able to,” she recommends. “When my daughter was born, I wanted to tell someone what was important to me, even if on any given day my answer was ‘I don’t know.’ And I wanted someone who could answer every question I had.

“Find an advisor who is interested in something more than the money and pick someone who is like you, understands your dynamics and your special needs. I have three kids — not just one with Down syndrome.” ■

Though built 130 years ago, the generous openings between the rooms make for an almost open plan, perfect for entertaining. In the living room, chairs positioned around a re-purposed ottoman are a refreshing alternative to the usual sofa-coffee table-chairs combination.

Designer upDates a Quirky Victorian house

7/19 – 7/20/14 THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND HOMe & DESIGN | 17

■ by thomas connors

Sometimes, home design is like comfort food. we surround ourselves with things that are familiar but, like artery-clogging macaroni and cheese in a healthy age, are no longer what we really need — especially when moving from an apartment to a house with more space than we know what to do with.

That was the case when one couple settled into a gracious Queen Anne/eastlake residence in evanston. what seemed grown-up and oh-so-appropriate soon grew stodgy and stale.

“We went from a one-bedroom to this house, and the things I had chosen when we moved in looked old as I grew older,” admits the home-owner. “I wanted something fresher, more vibrant for our family now.”

With a new addition to the home completed, the time was right to do something about those less-than-winning rooms. Turning to interior designer Julia Edelmann — who has a passion for investing older properties with a contempo-rary essence —the homeowners transformed their surroundings without sacrificing any his-toric appeal.

“I am in the people business,” says Edelmann, “and the first thing I have to do is understand what makes the client tick. This client was very down-to-earth. I think even hiring a designer was hard for her. she’s not at all frivolous and did not want to appear as such, running out and buying all new things. She really wanted to keep as much of what she had as she could. She had two comfy chairs in the parlor, so I had two more made, and we put them in the living room with new fabric. This allowed her to feel more comfortable with the whole idea of redecorating.”

Even so, as Edelmann admits, steering her client to the best choice wasn’t always smooth sail-ing. while the two agreed that the existing chairs could stay once they were re-upholstered, the client wasn’t immediately sold on the idea of having two more made to replace the sofa.

“My idea was you don’t have the sofa in the cor-ner and the two chairs and a coffee table in between,” relates edelmann. “But the idea of just four chairs was a bit of a challenge. It took me a while to get her there.”

Laughing, the home-owner agrees.

“Victorian houses are tricky. Sometimes, the rooms are narrow or, in this case, oddly shaped. we’ve tried the sofa in the middle of the room; we tried it in the window bay. Over the years, I had rearranged that room three or four dif-ferent ways. And while it looked okay, it just didn’t work.

“But now, with the chairs focused toward the center of the room, the space is really comfortable, perfect for conversation.”

Before the couple bought the house 16 years ago, it had sat empty for a year and needed work.

“It had crazy, crazy brown shag carpet when we bought it,” recalls the

homeowner. “When we took that up, I must have pulled 1,600 staples from the foyer floor alone.

“In the first stages of renovation, we were so naïve. we jacked up the house and the plaster cracked and we had to redo all the walls. My parents came out and slept on an air mattress and helped us.”

For all the changes the 130-year-old resi-dence has experienced over the years, thanks to edelmann’s understated touch and the pres-ence of the homeowners’ family treasures, this is one house that wears its history well. Wide openings linking one room to another make for a fluid layout, which Edelmann enhanced with wall colors in a soothing spectrum of gray. She highlighted the handsome millwork with crisp, white paint and punctuated the various spaces with an array of unique pieces: a lamp made from an architectural fragment; a dining table sporting silver-leafed metal legs; and a top spun from rough hewn wood.

Art work by family members — her great uncle’s watercolors and marine pictures by his grandfather, Marshall Woodside Joyce — share wall space with pieces the couple’s three chil-dren have created. In the parlor, which over-looks the much-used front porch, bookshelves display a panoply of well-loved items, from pieces of coral to vintage volumes of the Bobbsey Twins stories. “My husband’s grandmother gave us a huge ceramic lamp in bright colors that sat in a closet forever,” relates the homeowner. “I loved it, but didn’t know what to do with it, until Julia pulled it out and put it on a table in the foyer. I love that we’re around it and we use it every day.” ■

A wall painted with Farrow & Ball’s “Skimming Stone,” a gathering of treasured drawings, and vintage metal furniture combine to create a serene study in grey.

Anchored by a marble-topped is-land and paired with clubby stools from Ballard Design upholstered with durable vinyl fabric, the kitchen combines family-friendly functionality with a stylishness suitable for canapés and cocktails.

This silver-leafed, forged iron Annie Selke dining table features two separate demilune consoles at either end that can be removed and used elsewhere when the occasion arises.

my favorite weekendCarrie and Hugh are dedicated to Misercordia

Carrie and Hugh Connolly spend many weekends in Chicago. But they’re not enjoying a romantic dinner by the lake or a night at a boutique hotel — they’re visiting Misercordia Home, which supports more than 600 children and adults with disabilities.

Hugh’s brother, Brian, lives there.“He and i shared a bedroom together growing up,” Hugh says. “i saw

first-hand what his needs were, what his challenges were.”

in 2003, Carrie and Hugh got together with another couple and formed the Heartlinks Golf Outing, an annual event to raise money for Misercordia. What made it unique, they say, was that it involved the entire North shore — not just one community. including the event on tuesday at shoreacres and Onwentsia, it has raised more than $3 million over the years.

Both Connollys point out friends and family offer plenty of help around the golf event. at the same time, both Hugh’s birthday and the couple’s anniversary get postponed as they work to make it go smoothly.

Hugh and Carrie both volunteer at the bakery that sits on the 30-acre site. they’ve seen Misercordia grow from a few dozen children to a vibrant community on Chicago’s North side. But the reality is, everyone is living there for the long haul.

“They’ll always be dependent on others for their well-being,” Carrie says.

With a home in lake Geneva, Carrie and Hugh have discussed holding a fundraiser up there as well. they are constantly promoting Misercordia. and it’s all worth it.

Says Hugh, “We find a way to make their lives better.”David Sweet ■

Hugh and Carrie Connolly of Lake Forest founded the Heartlinks Golf Outing, which raised more than $300,000 this year for Misericordia Home.

100s of crunches will only take you so far

■ by gregg shapiro

North shore resident and musician Don Cagen and i go way back — all the way to fourth grade at Madison elementary school in skokie.

since that time, Cagen has made a name for himself and his Don Cagen Orchestra, becoming one of the most in-demand wed-ding and special event musical acts in the region. Cagen’s 25 years of professional and performance experience includes affiliations with the evanston symphony Orchestra, Chicago Brass Band and fulcrum Point New Music Project, to name a few. Cagen, and his wife singer Becky, even appeared in the Dana Carvey movie “Opportunity Knocks.”

One of the busier men in show business, Cagen took a few minutes recently to answer questions.

Gregg Shapiro: don, my earliest mem-ory of you is seeing you walking through the halls of Lincoln Junior High School in Skokie with your trumpet case. How old were you when you first started playing trumpet?

don Cagen: i started trumpet studies in fourth grade, so about age 10. i actually chose the clarinet, but the music teacher said i would be better suited to the trumpet. thanks, Mr. fleming [laughs]!

GS: did you play any other instruments as a child?

dC: We had a small electronic organ at home that i would noodle on a little.

GS: did you come from a musical family?

dC: No professional musicians, but music was certainly always in the house and encouraged. family lore says that an early conductor of a symphony orchestra in Milwaukee was a relative on my mom’s side. i would love to know more about this.

GS: when we were kids, trumpets were making a massive comeback in pop-ularity thanks to Herb alpert and the tijuana Brass. would you say that alpert’s success as a trumpeter played

a role in your interest in the instrument?

dC:  absolutely. alpert was a huge star. But there were many other influences, including Doc severinsen, louis armstrong, Harry James and classical trumpeters Maurice andre and adolph Herseth. Plus, of course, there were the rock bands in the 1970s that used horns, including Chicago and Blood sweat and tears.

GS: at what age did you think you might want to make music your profes-sional career?

dC: in high school my playing started to blossom. I was first chair of Illinois All-State Band, so i was lucky to have the chance to play with other motivated players and knew this is what i wanted to do with my life. i was very fortunate to have found my pas-sion so young. i had an extraordinary high school band director, Dr. Charles Groeling, who was a mentor and brilliant musician. My teacher the last two years of high school was Philip smith, who this year is retiring after 36 years as principal trumpet of the New york Philharmonic. Mr. smith was very encouraging and helpful as i auditioned for music schools. Most importantly, my par-ents were very supportive of my choice.

GS: what can you tell me about your affiliation with the evanston Symphony orchestra?

dC: One of the best things about being a musician is the variety. i may play in a jazz group one night, play with my dance band at a gala or wedding the next night, and a symphony the day following. i joined the evanston symphony in 2000 as principal trumpet. While the orchestra is largely vol-unteer, there are quite a few active profes-sional musicians, and some retired military and orchestral musicians. the group is extremely dedicated — we are all there for the joy of music making. i love it.

GS: the don Cagen orchestra is one of the most in-demand musical ensem-bles in the Chicago area. what would you cite as some of the orchestra’s most memorable performance experiences?

dC: Well, the biggest thrill of our career was being chosen to perform at first inau-gural ball of President Obama in Washington. We have played concerts on Wrigley field. We have played amazing galas for Chicago’s biggest institutions - The lincoln Park Zoo, lyric Opera, Museum of science and industry, Northwestern Medical, rush Medical. and the weddings are truly amazing. We have wonderful cli-ents who are always allowing us to develop new concepts in music and entertainment.

GS: the don Cagen orchestra is also known to be popular among people seek-ing music for their wedding receptions. i have to ask – what band did you have perform at your wedding to Becky?

dC: [laughs] We had awesome music at our wedding! Jazz violin star Johnny frigo played the ceremony with pianist allan Kaye and tenor Michael Cook from the CsO Chorus. Jack Kramer, a fine trumpeter, played our party with his band. We danced to every song the entire night. so much fun [laughs]!

GS: earlier i mentioned Herb alpert, who has been performing with his wife singer Lani Hall for many years. what does it mean to you to perform with your singing wife Becky?

dC: Becky is the biggest star in our fam-ily. she is a great communicator both on and off the bandstand. We are partners in life, business and music. that makes an incred-ible journey. How lucky can one guy be?

GS: you are also a lecturer at Columbia College. what do you like best about doing this?

dC: My teaching is in the Department of audio arts and acoustics. i am passionate about teaching young sound engineers to think and listen as musical artists, not only as technology managers. this is also how i treat the engineering team in our com-pany, Cagen Music. i love the interaction.

GS: do you teach or have you taught music privately?

dC: i taught privately during college for a few years. i occasionally do some coaching, and i would enjoy doing more in the future.

GS: what performances do you have lined up for the summer of 2014?

dC: this summer is full of weddings, we call it our “summer of love!” [laughs]. incredible locations including the ritz Carlton, four seasons, Peninsula, trump tower, Navy Pier, field Museum and the new langham. We are working on a CD and concert project with four-time Tony nominee Gregg edelman, and have a col-laboration with Tony Award-winning pro-ducer Michael Chapman.

GS: what do you like best about being a resident of the north Shore?

dC: i love the proximity to lake Michigan, the beautiful neighborhoods and landscapes, especially the older areas. We have several 120 year-old mighty oak trees in our yard.

GS: what are some of your favorite cul-tural and dining spots on the north Shore?

dC: for culture there is beautiful ravinia,of course, and there are always interesting con-certs and programs on the Northwestern Campus, my alma mater. for dining, my top spots are Demetri’s for Greek food in Deerfield, Hole in the Wall for italian in Northbrook, Bob Chinn’s for seafood in Wheeling, and andy’s Custard in evanston ■

fiSH HoUSe PUnCH Makes about 10 cups

active time: 15 min Start to finish: 8‰ hr (includes mak-ing ice block) This punch—containing rum, Cognac, and peach brandy—is potent. If it packs a bit too much of a wallop for your taste, you can dilute it with cold black tea, a common mixer for this particular punch, or with seltzer water, for a bit of fizz.

Some punch bowls may not be big enough to accommodate the size ice block we call for—feel free to use other freezing containers that are more suitably shaped. And though the block is a classic part of this recipe, you can, of course, simply serve the punch in a pitcher over ice cubes.

1 cup sugar3‚ cups water1‚ cups fresh lemon juice(6 to 8 lemons),strained1 (750-ml) bottle Jamaicanamber rum12 oz Cognac (1‚ cups)2 oz peach brandy (‰ cup)Special equipment: a ‚-galloncardboard juice ormilk carton,top (spout) end cut offGarnish: lemon slicesTo make ice block, fill carton with water and freeze until solid,

about 8 hours (see cooks’ note, below). Stir together sugar and 3-1⁄2 cups water in a large bowl or pot until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice, rum, Cognac, and brandy and chill, covered, at least 3 hours. Put ice block in a punch bowl and pour punch over it.

IF YOU’RE PLANNING to keep a crowd cool and refreshed this summer but would like to avoid the intrica-cies of a full bar, you may want to scour the very back reaches of your closets for that long-forgotten punch bowl.

In The Food Chronology, James Trager notes that one

of the first punches was concocted in 1599by the commander in chief of the Royal Navy.

Among the ingredients he cites were 80 casks of brandy, 80 pints of lemon juice, 1,300 pounds of sugar, and 25,000 limes. It was prepared in a large basin by ships’ boys who

worked 15-minute shifts “to avoid getting drunk from the fumes.”

This Fish House Punch—named after the Philadelphia fishing club where it was first served in 1732—has slightly fewer ingredients but will still provide a potent centerpiece for any party. Our recipe

from August 1962 (page 122) calls for a large float-ing ice block to help temper the effects of three different kinds of liquor. It also lowers the fume level, so your active preparation time has been reduced to just one 15-min-ute shift.

an obscure culinary trivia: the term BBQ is a french term (“Barbe-Queue”) meaning “from beard to tail”.

this american cooking tradition dates back to the early fur traders, many of them arcadians (french Canadian refugees who eventually migrated to louisiana and built New Orleans). Pere Marquette and General lafayette introduced more french table savoir faire to this nation along the way.

even the founding fathers — especially thomas Jefferson and Benjamin franklin — were noted french wine lovers and collectors. The fondness for wine flour-ished when the ancient Gauls learned that meats mari-nated in wine did not spoil for weeks and became more tender along the way. the rest is cuisine history.

SatUrday dinner2005 Chateau de Chatelet, St. Emilion Grand

Cru, Bordeaux, France; $70the state of Bordeaux lies on the atlantic

coast of southwestern france, at the cross-roads of Celtic tribes migrating to spain or to the British isles, Greek fishermen seek-ing refuge from storms, unsavory pirates from the Mediterranean and native Gallic farmers. this melange of tribal warriors and invaders by sea created a rustic cuisine based on hearty fish, mutton or beef.

The often-powerful red wines of the region are usually based on blends of the Cabernet sauvignon and Merlot grapes that benefit from 6-30 years of cellaring and about an hour of decanting. Classic pair-

ings include grilled tuna, beef and lamb recipes, heavy stews and hearty cheeses. this

chateau (estate) is a rising star of the region and a rela-tive bargain.

2007 Chanson Pere & Fils Savigny Hauts Marconnets, Premier Cru, Burgundy, France; $30

The sublime Pinot Noir grape-based reds of the Burgundy region in northeastern France possess the reputation for finesse, elegance, sublime aromas and glove-leather texture. ever since Julius Caesar discov-ered them in 50 B.C., they have graced the banquet tables of european aristocracy and royalty.

Contrary to the wide-spread myth that red Burgundies are “hearty” or big, they are actually intended to serve as sophis-ticated palate cleansers with opulent and mild dishes, especially with reduction

sauces or mushroom recipes. Veal, pork, poultry, rabbit, escargot, salmon and foie gras dishes shine with this wine. Decant for about 30 minutes.

BeSt vaLUe

Simonet Febvre Cremant de Bourgogne Brut, Burgundy, France; $19

Unlike the sparkling Burgundy and Cold Duck of yore — the sweet, bubbly Californian plonk of prom-night dinners of the 60’s and 70’s — the real sparkling wines of Burgundy are based on the Chardonnay or Pinot Noir grapes and must meet fairly high quality standards. the term “Brut” refers to a government regulated sweetness level: “brut-ally dry” or not discernibly sweet. they are clean, crisp, delightful and dis-play hints of citrus, apple, pear aromas for the Chardonnay-based version, to a hint of nectarine, wild strawberry aromas for the Pinot Noir-based version.

a mere one hour drive south of the Champagne region, the Cremant de

Bourgogne costs a mere fraction of their prestigious neighbor, making it the prime choice for casual cocktail sipping, minor celebrations or mixing with fresh fruit purees, e.g. strawberry, peach or nectarines. Chill in ice water for 20 minutes before serving.

it’s a mantra heard summer after summer — yet it bears repeating.

“the No. 1 way to take care of your skin in sum-mer is to use sunscreen,” said ivy schlechter — even when driving or going outdoors to run an errand.

Schlechter co-owns North Shore Aesthetics in Northbrook with her husband, Dr. Benjamin Schlechter, a board-certified plastic surgeon.

they opened the surgical unit and medical spa near the North shore this year after running a similar practice in Philadelphia for 19 years. they maintain both practices, traveling between towns.

Ivy said the new office in Illinois allows them to be close to their children who live and work in the Chicago area.

North shore aesthetics encompasses 4,800 square feet where clients receive cosmetic as well as medi-cally necessary plastic and reconstructive surgery and skin care treatments from facials to peels.

since the practice opened in January, ivy said she, her husband and the aestheticians have noticed a difference between their Pennsylvania and illinois clients.

“We are seeing more significant sun damage here than we do in Pennsylvania,” she said.

it’s likely because more North shore residents travel to warm places in winter where their skin gets damaged by the sun, she added.

at North shore aesthetics, a special device can be used to show sun damage beneath the top layer of the skin. even if it’s not on the surface today, that damage will appear as you age, schlechter said.

“We used to say we can stop the progression of skin damage, but today we can actually reverse it,” she said. “Now we can do DNa repair — either

quickly with laser treatments or more slowly with products.”

schlechter, however, would prefer to educate cli-ents about ways to keep skin from getting damaged — and that’s why she constantly stresses using sunscreen.

Choose sunscreens that are labeled as broad spec-trum SPV 45 and that filter out both UVA and UVB rays, she said.

“Men need to use sunscreen, too,” ivy said, even when they’re driving. the left side of the face typi-cally has more sun damage than the right side, and that’s because of driving without sunscreen.

staff aesthetician Haley Newberger added those who are at the pool or the beach should reapply the sunscreen every hour.

“there’s also makeup with sunscreen,” she sug-gested. Some drugstore brands, however, add filler ingredients, so read the labels, she noted.

Hydration is also crucial in summer.“Drink lots of water and eat healthy to promote

healthy skin,” Newberger said. Cigarette smoking and pollution can also damage skin, she added.

Vitamin C can benefit the skin, Schlechter said. “everyone should be using it. it helps with DNa repair. But not all vitamin C products are created equal. the key is to use a product that doesn’t have additives in it — and mostly those can only be found at medical skin care spas.”

Not every skin issue needs to be complicated.“to get rid of wrinkles around the eyes, you don’t

necessarily need Botox. try drinking extra water and using moisturizer,” schlechter said.

North Shore Aesthetics offers a free facial and consultation for first-time clients. For more informa-tion, call 847-393-4770 or visit northshoreaesthetics.com. ■

Lacrosse goalies collect lots of saves — and plenty of keepsakes (welts & bruises)tyler Vandenberg was at home when his mother,

Janie, noticed prominent welts all over his arms and legs.

tyler was a lacrosse goalie for Lake Forest High School’s state semifinalist this past spring. A welt is a goalie’s bulbous badge of courage, an unwelcome and unsightly tattoo, a stinging, protruding reminder of a body save.

“I was just sitting around when she pointed the welts out to me,” recalls the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder and recent graduate. “I had forgotten that I had them.

“You tolerate them; you get used to them.”Two years ago Loyola Academy lacrosse goalie Mark

Dezell, another 2014 graduate, absorbed four shots to the same spot on his right leg — in one game.

the blows produced a virtual mesa on his limb.“I had to get it drained at a hospital after the game,”

says Dezell, who helped the Ramblers (17-5) finish sec-ond at the state tournament in May. “You see a fair amount of fast shots as a goalie, and it’s hard to stop all of them with your stick.

“One former goalie at Loyola Academy told me he had given his welts names and suggested I do that. I have never done that.”

Boys lacrosse goalies everywhere hear the same ques-tion — “What in the world were you thinking when you signed up for that position?” — every spring from friends, loved ones, strangers and, occasionally, medical personnel. It’s hard for some people to understand why a seemingly sane teen — holding a stick and wearing a helmet, chest protector, gloves and little else — would attempt to stop a ball traveling 90-plus mph and not get paid a cent for doing so.

“I guess you have to be a little nuts to be a lacrosse

goalie,” says Glenbrook North goalie Chad Yale, a ris-ing senior who helped the spartans (16-6) reach a state quarterfinal in the spring. “People think what we do is one of the scariest things in sports. At first I was scared of the ball [as a seventh-grader]. But I found out quickly you have to toughen up a little.

“the most painful shot I felt was one that nailed me in a forearm,” the 5-10, 160-pounder adds. “I couldn’t hold my stick up after that one.”

Jonathan Anastos insists he doesn’t feel pain after stopping fast balls with various parts of his 5-9, 180-pound frame. the rising New trier senior and goal-keeper of the reigning state champion trevians (18-7) says Game Day adrenaline serves as his temporary shield.

“I do, though, feel it when I get hit by a ball in prac-tice,” says Anastos, who has sustained a couple of

concussions while hugging the pipe (lacrosse parlance for “protecting a side of the cage”) in the first half of his prep career. “It’s pretty crazy in goal, with everybody moving in front of you while you’re trying to zero in and watch the ball the whole way.

“If I have to use my chest to prevent a goal, I’ll do that.”An official lax ball is a rubber ball that’s “heavier than

a tennis ball and lighter than a cue ball,” says Loyola’s Dezell, who, like Vandenberg, was picked to play in the 2014 Illinois High School Lacrosse Association (IHSLA)

All-Star Game at Benedictine University in Lisle on June 3.“It weighs,” he adds, “about as much as a hockey puck.”Anastos’ path to becoming a lacrosse goalie started on

an ice rink in the back yard of a friend’s house. A bunch of their buddies got together for a game of broomball.

Anastos battled as a goalie in the pickup contest.“A friend said to me that day, ‘You should be a lacrosse

goalie,’ ” recalls Anastos, a first-team all-Central Suburban pick and Lafayette College recruit. “Before then, when I was a fourth- and fifth-grader, I was pretty much like

everybody else who played lacrosse — a middie. Middies just ran around.”

Lake Forest High School’s Vandenberg got his first taste of goalkeeping when he was a fifth- or sixth-grader and had to sit at a feeder team’s practice because he showed up that day without elbow pads.

All field players must wear elbow pads.Goalies don’t; too restrictive.“I was there on the sideline, all alone, when my coach

[tom Walters, now a scouts assistant] made me get in goal,” recalls the Dartmouth-bound Vandenberg. “He wasn’t too happy, seeing me there with nothing to do.

“I wasn’t good at first and it was a hard position, but I kept playing the position because I enjoyed it.”

Dezell was a rising eighth-grader when he thought the coolest kid ever was Gavin McGarry, then the Ramblers’ starting varsity lacrosse goalie. Dezell attended a summer camp and jumped at the chance to learn all about the dangerous position during one-on-one sessions with McGarry.

“It took me a pretty long while to get accustomed to it,” the 6-2, 175-pound Dezell says. “I was pretty brutal my first year. My freshman year … not an easy year for me. sophomore year, though, I started to fall in love with the position.”

Glenbrook North’s Yale played in only a couple of games as a goalie his sophomore year, in 2013. Yale and the spartans got off to an up-and-down start in ’14, going 4-3. the third setback was a 15-8 loss to Lake Forest HS on April 5. Three days later, New trier visited Northbrook.

Glenbrook North edged the eventual state champion 8-7 in three overtimes.

Yale came up huge in the extra sessions.“I remember New trier winning a lot

of draws and possessing the ball [for long stretches] in the overtimes,” says Yale, a second-team all-Central suburban selec-tion. “that was a big win for us, after hav-ing the iffy start we had and losing attack players and some key middies [to gradua-tion the previous year].”

Yale’s voice was probably barely audible afterward. A lacrosse goalie, after all, is the “quarterback” of the defense, constantly barking all kinds of orders to his defend-ers, from the alignment he wants them in to the name of the teammate who’s in the best position to help a defenseman double-team the ball carrier.

As a goalie yells, attack players from the opposing team scream for the ball or shout out the play. Meanwhile, bodies from both teams are crisscrossing in blurs in front of a goalie, who is doing all he can to track a pin-balling ball and prepare to make a stick — or body — save.

Keepers have no choice but to become familiar with total chaos and annoying body screens while being the last line of defense.

“Our defensive system is a complex one,” says the Illinois Wesleyan-bound Dezell. “It always has been at Loyola. It’s probably similar to the defense found in some NFL playbooks. It’s so complex that our coaches make the goalies and defenders take a test at the beginning of each season to make sure we know what we have to know.

“But what’s great about our program from a goalie’s standpoint is our film staff, two phenomenal guys who do outstand-ing work. I was constantly learning while watching game film between games.”

Dezell was adept at staying sharp in games — even when the ramblers ran their offense on the other side of the field. He looked for the flying ball, from the moment it left a stick’s webbing to the moment it landed in another stick’s webbing. “that helped slow the game down for me, and it made the ball seem bigger,” Dezell says.

Lake Forest High school’s coaching staff allowed Vandenberg to get involved on offense — as a goalkeeper. some goalies do more than just whip clears (lengthy out-let passes) to in-stride middies and attacks. Vandenberg occasionally got the green light to cross midfield and either find a open man or take a shot.

Hearing the play, “rocket,” from a

sideline meant it was all systems go for Vandenberg, ball nestled in his stick’s web-bing, to look for a seam and transition into an offensive weapon for the scouts (20-4 in 2014).

Imagine a determined, highly mobile tight end with a ball and stick — weaving around and blasting past smaller players after escaping his post near a cage — and you have a pretty good idea what defenders had to deal with when Vandenberg entered their territory.

He scored a first-half goal in an 11-5 defeat of St. Viator on May 10.

“that can be demoralizing for the other goalie,” says Vandenberg, who liked to look first for the opportunity to boost his assist total (and “hockey assist” total) after trig-gering a fast break with his legs.

But nothing in a game thrills a goalie as much as a spectacular save does, especially if it’s one on a point-blank shot in the sec-ond half of a tight game.

“A save,” Vandenberg says, “can com-pletely change the momentum of the game in your team’s favor. It’s an interesting posi-tion, the goalie position. so much of it is mental; I’d put it at 90 percent. A goalie has to remember there’s absolutely noth-ing he can do about a goal he just gave up.

“All that matters,” he adds, “is doing whatever it takes to make the next save.”

Not long after Dezell made his final save in Loyola Academy’s 10-8 defeat of Lake Forest Hs and Vandenberg in a state semi-final on May 29, Vandenberg received a compliment-laden Facebook Chat from … Dezell.

“A goalie takes a lacrosse loss worse than any other player does; ask any goalie,” says Dezell, a first-team all-Chicago Catholic pick. “I needed to Facebook-Chat him that day. I wanted to Facebook-Chat him that day because tyler had a fantastic season and I wanted to make sure he knew that.”

It’s certainly a tight fraternity, this battered, fearless bunch of athletes with martial-arts reflexes, middle-linebacker toughness and legs resembling oversized, bruised bananas as early as the second week of a season.

the respect each boys lacrosse keeper has for other keepers runs ocean-floor deep. the position is easily one of the toughest in high school sports.

“At times, after getting pelted over and over in a game, I asked myself, ‘Why am I goalie?’ ” Vandenberg admits. “the thing a goalie has to remember about lacrosse is that it’s a sport with high-scoring games. I make mistakes; a defense makes mis-takes. What is exciting for me, as a goalie, is the opportunity to bail my defense out with a save.”

Former University of Maryland star goalie Brian “Doc” Dougherty played for the United States’ world championship lacrosse team in 1998. one of his attentive charges at an East Coast summer camp was Dezell.

“thinking about percentages and using them to help you; figuring out what a shooter typically wants to do in a certain situation … I learned how important those things are for a goalie,” Dezell says. “other pieces of advice [Dougherty] gave me were, ‘Never be surprised,’ and, ‘Always know what’s going on.’

“the mind of a goalie,” he adds, “has to be strong and always ready.”

the members of one of Dezell’s summer teams don’t use sticks and don’t wear hel-mets. the number of sensational saves Dezell has recorded for that team since the IHSLA state championship game on May 31 is dreadfully low.

But that’s a good thing.the summer team is actually a staff.And Dezell is a lifeguard. ■

Fine art, jewelry, antiques, classic cars and other staples of North Shore homes can be hard to value. Yet figuring out their fair price is an essential part of managing wealth, so that insurers, investment managers, and estate planning professionals can assess the true net worth of individuals and families.

enter Laura de Frise. After 31 years at Christie’s work-ing with private clients and museum curators, she joined Ronald Varney Fine Art Advisors as its Chicago rep-resentative. A native of Lake Forest, she helps value, sell, and collect tangible assets.

Initially, the New York-based firm has targeted bankers, lawyers, private wealth managers, and not-for-profits to introduce itself in the Midwest. De Frise represents the client’s interests and on their behalf might solicit proposals from auction houses like Christie’s or sotheby’s, regional auction houses, or niche market auction firms when selling a collec-tion or an individual piece.

“We are experts at knowing where the best place to potentially sell a work is,” says de Frise, sipping a cup of coffee and eating a double choc-olate cookie at Leonidas, a chocolate café in Evanston. “I can discuss the best ways to market the item — should it be on the cover of a catalogue or have a three-page spread inside?”

the process of selling at auction involves a lot of paperwork – before, during, and after a sale. And because de Frise — a graduate of Sarah Lawrence University — wants each piece to be placed in the best possible situation for an optimal return, this could involve many different types of sales.

“Especially if the client has multiple items that might go to multiple places for sale, we have the paperwork come through our office to stay on top of all transactions for the client,” she notes. “the auction pro-cess is a long one, often six months or more from thinking about selling to actual sale, so realizing results from the sale might take time. sometimes auction houses don’t pay as quickly as the clients like so we can push those buttons to collect.” The firm receives a percentage of all sales.

Sometimes clients come with expectations that are tough to meet, de Frise says.

“showing them results of past sales of simi-lar items might take the emotion out of the sale and allow clients to be more realistic about the value of their treasure. sometimes, we are the bearer of good news — but sometimes, it can be disappointing news.”

And whether or not one is thinking of sell-ing, he or she probably should have an

appraisal done. De Frise can call in specialists to value items for an insurance appraisal or auction estimate or charitable gift.

“so many times people don’t consider their art and col-lectible assets in the same way as other assets — they

know what their house and stock portfolio are worth, but they may not think about what they are living with which could be just as important in terms of value,” de Frise says. “If you live with something every day, it is comfortable, so you are less likely to know what you really have — especially if it is something that has come down through the fam-ily. someone could be sitting on a signed piece of jewelry from a designer and not know that it is in high demand.”

De Frise and her company know when the time is right to sell because they are constantly in touch with auction houses, dealers, and specialists to know what is popular so that clients can take advantage of the best timing.

Beyond selling pieces, de Frise —who is president of the Old Masters Society and a member of the Antiquarian Society at the Art Institute of Chicago — can be involved in collecting fine art or other tangible assets.

“Although we work more with sellers than buyers, we have strong connections with people in the field, so we can direct our clients to a person or firm to help them build or curate their collections. And we can do more than provide a name, we can literally introduce the client to the right specialist.”

However, de Frise also notes that there are a lot of ways individuals can begin to learn to be more discern-ing about things they already love that would not require her services — she mentions books, museums, galleries, exhibitions, and antique shows as a starting place.

“Introduce yourself to local dealers to start somewhere that’s easily accessible,” she says. “Go to the next eXPO Chicago september 18-21 at Navy pier for contemporary and modern art. there will be dealers from all over the world on your own turf.”

A gardener and skier, de Frise also walks her 95-pound Akita in her spare time. She

enjoys travel and recently returned from a trip to Bora Bora. During the school year, she and her husband, steven rugo, often choose to fly to Los Angeles to visit their children, who are stu-dents at the University of southern California.But she is always happy

to return to her job.“I continue to work with cli-

ents I enjoy meeting and who own beauti-ful things,” de Frise says. “there’s no better combi-nation than that.” ■

reimagined it. We offer a warm, upscale setting that combines the comforts of a stylish boutique hotel

with a state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility – providing the perfect environment for our guests to recover

their strength and regain their independence.
