LAKE FOREST/HIGH-LAND PARK — Jorge Mejia is living the life of an

American success story who is competing to become the latest national champion from the North Shore.

Mejia, a Highland Park resi-dent who coordinates the baggers and drivers at Sunset Foods in Lake Forest, will compete to become the country’s best grocery bagger Feb. 29 at the annual National Grocers Association Show in Las Vegas.

Winning the Illinois state title in August at the Illinois Retail Grocers Association’s annual gathering, Mejia has been prac-ticing for Las Vegas each time he fills a customer’s bag. The customer’s do not notice.

“He’s very friendly and very kind,” Sue Skinner of Lake Forest said as she was leaving

the store Dec. 30. “He filled my order quickly and he has a good sense of humor.”

Mejia’s story is much more than the tale of a person who can fill grocery bags quickly with an even distribution of weight in a well organized and careful style. It is the story of a man who came to the United States six years ago from Colombia at 28, got a job, was promoted into a supervisory role, learned a new language and became an Amer-ican Citizen.

“If felt real good,” Mejia said of the moment he took the oath of citizenship to become an American. “People said there were a lot more opportunities in the USA than in my country.”

Part of learning English was on the job training for Mejia.

“I went to school for three months and learned the rest at Sunset,” Mejia said.

WINNETKA – The first things you notice when entering Winnetka’s

new fitness studio Yogi Barre are the purple hammocks hanging from the ceiling above traditional mats in the workout space. Used as props in the studio’s aerial fitness and yoga classes, the hammocks aid in the development of core muscles and strong yoga poses.

“It is a suspended training ex-ercise,” explained Joann Noche, who co-owns Yogi Barre with her long-time friend Jessica Gonzales.

They have known each other since college, and decided to open a fitness studio after spending years teaching classes around the Chicago area. While Noche spent years in the corporate world working in marketing, she had been dancing since she was a child and always enjoyed working out. “I just wanted to follow my passion,” Noche said.

Noche and Gonzales spent many hours looking all over the

Chicago area for an appropriate space and are happy with their choice in Winnetka. “We really wanted to find a place we felt comfortable and loved the neigh-borhood. That is what we found

here,” Noche said.While the studio offers classes

in yoga, barre and aerial fitness, their signature class —Yogi Barre — is a fusion of all three methods. Noche learned about barre fitness

a few years ago when visiting a cousin in California, and she said she has been obsessed ever since. Barre fitness, which has gained popularity on the North Shore in the past few years, requires holding

poses at a bar for extended periods.“A lot of the focus is on con-

necting your mind to your body. It is not just a test of strength, but also your mind,” Noche said.

Alternatively, aerial fitness is a new concept in the Chicago fitness scene, Noche explained, with only a few studios in the city offering classes. Noche and Gonzales trained together at one of those studios and decided to offer the technique at Yogi Barre. The ham-mocks require a lot of balance and strength, eventually allowing a person to hang upside down in one of them. The studio will offer a foundational class to develop those basic movements. Noche said that aerial fitness can be so much fun, people don’t even realize that it’s a work-out.

The studio also carries a small line of fitness clothing by Beyond Yoga, Onzie and Vimmia. “On the fitness scene these are the most popular we’ve come across,” Noche said. Offered for sale are leggings, tank tops and some branded mer-chandise as well.

But Noche and Gonzales hope

that Yogi Barre will become more than just a fitness studio.

“We want to build a commu-nity. We want people to build re-lationships and be around people with the same goals and interests,” Noche explained.

Noche noted that they have both served as role models for others, as they have always taken time to care for themselves even when they are busy with careers or caring for children. “So many of our friends said they are inspired by us,” Noche said. “We love hearing that and want to share that with everybody.”

While many people have nega-tive thoughts when working out, by opening Yogi Barre Noche and Gonzales want to change that view. “Part of our mantra is to create a safe space. We want people to be happy and not feel judged. Do what you can. It is your workout,” Noche said.

The studio is located at 549 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka and is currently open 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Class schedules are posted at www.yogibarre.com.

high school years…Our deepest condolences are extended to the families and friends as they cope with this tragic loss,” officials said.

The four friends are presumed to have drowned on Mill Lake after 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 3. They were part of a group visiting a friend whose parents have a house on Mill Lake, which is part of the Lake Beulah chain of lakes in East Troy, Wisconsin, 35 miles southeast of Milwaukee and 80 miles north of Winnetka.

Police were called Sunday, Jan. 3, at approximately 11:15 a.m., responding to a report of four missing men, according to a press release from the Wisconsin DNR.

“The incident was not wit-nessed by anyone, so it is difficult to say what they were doing or the circumstances that led to them in the water,” said Jason Roberts of the Wisconsin DNR.

According to media reports, “the four men left the house at about 3 a.m. Sunday and told friends they were going for a

smoke but never returned. In the morning, their friends discovered that they were not in the house and found tracks to the boat-house. A 14-foot, three-person canoe was missing.”

They immediately called police, and multiple agencies responded and began to search by boat and air in water that is 30 to 40 feet deep. Recovery crews used sonar technology to help in the effort.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the 14-foot-long canoe seated three, and the friends noticed that four left their wallets and cell phones along the shore.

Authorities believe the men were not wearing flotation devices nor were they dressed for the frigid temperature. The media reported that alcohol may have been a factor, and that foul play is not suspected.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is leading the investigation assisted by Wal-worth County Sheriff, the Town of East Troy Police Department and the Walworth County Medical Examiner.

There was a lot of culture shock. Mejia arrived on the North Shore in the winter. He said he never owned a coat or a sweater. He adjusted to a Chicago winter and got a helping hand from his god-mother who lives in Lake Forest.

“My godmother found me an apartment in Highland Park,” Mejia said. “She is a Sunset cus-tomer. She talked to Bill (Tarpey, the manager of the Lake Forest Sunset) and told him I was looking for a job.”

Tarpey hired Mejia as a driver. When drivers are not driving the company van they double as baggers. Tarpey said Mejia de-veloped the skills quickly par-ticularly fitting into the com-pany’s culture which Tarpey describes as “service above all else.”

“He pays attention to people’s children,” Tarpey said. “He’ll offer them a sucker. If you want to win a customer the best way to do it is to pay attention to their children. He’s good with people, especially children.”

Children are important to Mejia personally. Now that he is a new father he said he spends most of his time away from the store with his daughter.

Friendliness is a trait noticed by another customer Dec. 30. She said it is an attitude which pervades the store.

“He’s very friendly, Bobbie, who declined to give her last name, said. “Everyone here is really friendly.”

As Mejia developed his skills as a driver and bagger, manage-ment took notice, according to

Pete Commons, the assistant store manager. The company put Mejia in charge of all the baggers and drivers.

“He’s always working hard and looking for things to do,” Commons said. “Some people

just look at the clock and wait to leave. He tells people what to do and they listen. He leads by example and they see what he does.”

Commons said when Mejia sees something to help a co-

worker improve, he does not hesitate to give instruction.

“When I see an employee doing something that looks dif-ferent I let them know before they forget what they did,” Mejia said. “I’ve learned I can teach

other people.”Some of the time bagging is

not about calculating how to bag for a particular customer but listening to the shopper.

“He packed my bags exactly as I required,” Marshall Calef of Lake Forest said as he left the store Dec. 30.

When Mejia learned about the bagging competition in the spring of 2014, he said he decided to enter. He won the company event and moved on to state where he finished second. He said the seeds for winning the 2015 state title and going to nationals were planted there.

“I have a tattoo on my arm and it says ‘never give up,’” Mejia said. “I practiced a lot (on cus-tomers) since then. When I see the customer and the items they have I figure out where every-thing fits in the bag.”

Common said Mejia was the fastest bagger at last year’s state completion, which was worth 10 of the 30 points available, but he did not distribute the weight in each bag as evenly as the winner. Common said speed and weight distribution are worth 10 points each while organiza-tion and style count for five apiece.

Mejia said he has since mem-orized the weight of a number of items and will be doing math in his head as he puts groceries in the bags in Las Vegas.

BY SCOTT HOLLERAN

The North Shore’s smallest town is named for an English village, based on an

Englishman’s novel and located on farmland bought by a trader in soap, lard and oil.

Businessman Joseph Sears, who bought the original land—the Mahoney farm in Wil-mette—founded Kenilworth, Illinois, with money he made from running a company that made and sold linseed oil, soap and lard. Sears, unrelated to Sears Roebuck Co., is Kenilworth’s forefather.

According to Kenilworth’s historical organization, Sears bought over 200 acres in 1889 for $150,300. When its population reached 300 residents, meeting the state’s requirement for incor-poration, Kenilworth became the newest of the North Shore’s lakefront villages.

“Joseph Sears wanted to estab-lish an ideal community,” said Melinda Kwedar, curator at the Kenilworth Historical Society. “He lived on Prairie Avenue with five kids—they had six but one died—and planned and devel-oped a model community between Winnetka and Wil-mette.”

Indeed he did. Sears had certain ideas about a proper village and who should be allowed to live there. For example, accord-ing to the historical society, Ke-nilworth’s streets were platted for better exposure to sunlight in each home. Utilities were placed underground. Alleys and fences were prohibited. Lots were large. Streets were paved. Sears, who believed in the Swedenborgian faith, held that a town should regard the family as the primary unit. So, he planned for the town to have a church and a school. He gave land for both.

Kenilworth’s creator had the vision, work ethic and money to make his dream come true, ac-cording to Michael H. Ebner, author of Creating Chicago’s North Shore, A Suburban History (University of Chicago Press, 1988).

“What I find interesting about Joseph Sears is that his business experience fed into an inspiration for Kenilworth,” Ebner said. “His father had been an entrepreneur who sold the N.K. Fairbanks Company before the Civil War, and Sears worked for the company from the bottom up until he proved his worth, not to

his father, but to the new owner of the company.”

Ebner explained that the firm extracted oil from cotton for use as a lubricant, just as fellow North Shore industrialists, Lake Forest meat titans Louis Swift and Philip Armour, had done with pork byproducts.

But when the U.S. government targeted successful businesses for mandatory mergers in the name of antitrust—forcing his father’s Fairbanks Company out of exis-tence—Sears felt persecuted. He saw the source of his father’s livelihood, where he had worked for years, earning his wealth, swallowed up by government control.

“After that, Sears decided to invest his money in unincorpo-rated lakefront property in Wil-mette on the south and in Win-netka on the north—17 miles from the Loop—and, inspired by an 1893 visit to the Warwickshire countryside in England and having read Sir Walter Scott’s novel Kenilworth, which pro-vided Sears with a romanticized portrait of magnificent land-scapes and human order, he made Kenilworth.”

Ebner concludes: “Joseph Sears was a late 19th century romantic idealist.”

As if to prove it, borrowing from the example of prominent Chicago industrialist George Pullman, who created the town of Pullman for his workers, Sears sought to create an upper class enclave, in pursuit of order amidst emergent uncertainties of post-antitrust America.

Sears had distinctive ideas about what constitutes a com-munity, insisting that Kenilworth be restricted to white Protes-tants—Ebner said that Sears had ordained that Catholics, Jews and blacks be restricted from owning property in Kenilworth—which Ebner said was motivated by class consideration and nothing else.

“Lake Forest had its long-standing Roman Catholic com-munity and, back to its begin-nings, Glencoe had a significant African American population, but Kenilworth stands out in this regard because Sears mistakenly believed that he could promulgate a prescription for a homogeneous rather than a heterogeneous population.”

One of the sources of this, Ebner said, is Sears’ religion.

“I would call it a messianic religion, a heaven on earth set of circumstances that he envisioned

for Kenilworth,” Ebner explained. “For instance, when he first laid Kenilworth out, he had in mind naming every street after an American man of letters, such as James Russell Lowell, Washing-ton Irving and Nathaniel Haw-thorne.”

After he read Scott’s novel,

Ebner said, Sears changed his mind.

Kenilworth historical curator Kwedar said that Sears based street names—except Sheridan Road and Green Bay Road—on characters in Walter Scott’s novel.

With land annexed to Ke-nilworth in the early 20th

century—including 40 acres in the southwest belonging to the North Shore Golf Club—the town grew to its current size of 0.6 of a square mile.

The population is currently over 2,000. The 2010 census shows that 97 percent of residents are white. Past and present Ke-nilworth residents include Jenner and Block law firm founder Albert Jenner, architect Harry Weese, former president of Chi-cago’s Merchandise Mart Chris-topher Kennedy, Congressman Robert Dold (who still lives in Kenilworth), and the late U.S. senator from Illinois, former Bell + Howell president Charles Percy.

The September 18, 1966 murder of Percy’s twin daughter Valerie at their beachfront Ke-nilworth home—while the entire family and a dog was home—remains a hauntingly unsolved symbol of Kenilworth’s elusive-ness. The young woman was bludgeoned to death in her bed before dawn.

This is Kenilworth’s most puz-zling crime. Theories range from a mob hit and mayhem at the hands of a Kenilworth steel ex-ecutive’s violent son to an early attack by Chicagoland’s anti-

capitalist Unabomber. Whoever entered the Percys’ Kenilworth home on that autumn morning and went upstairs to kill the in-dustrialist’s 21-year-old child during his Republican candidacy for the Senate was never caught, let alone tried and convicted.

The town’s worst murderer remains unpunished and, judging by public record, Kenilworth, forged to its founder’s vision of insular family, church and com-munity, is uncurious.

It is in this way that the sep-arateness of this solemn town created by industrialist Joseph Sears—on a former family farm where Mahoney Park is now—echoes its own eerie stillness.

Ebner sees this quality as in-tegral to Kenilworth’s historical legacy. “In 1899, Kenilworth’s leaders attempted to thwart the laying of tracks for the North Shore Electric Railway,” he ex-plained. “The other six North Shore communities had each given their consents. But this episode is emblematic of Ke-nilworth’s quest to retain its au-tonomy, thinking of itself as an island rather than linked to its interdependent metropolitan neighbors.”

“All we know”

There might be days when there’s big news. But, even when there isn’t you get

“breaking news” with urgency on cable TV, talk radio and the net. Plus, you get commentary.

News seems designed to en-tertain. And some of its associ-ated commentary sneaks opinion into the story, a journalistic no-no that’s become accepted the way we accept exaggeration in ads.

You’re musing about this because fellow patrons in a North Shore coffee hangout have turned their corner of the room into a raucous debate society, arguing not from first-hand knowledge, but second-hand references to charismatic com-mentators.

In the last century a comic-philosopher named Will Rogers said “All I know is what I read in the papers.” That’s more than a self-effacing quip. It’s a statement about our limitations to know what’s really going on beyond the breakfast table. What he was saying is: “All we CAN know is what we read in the papers.”

This honest insight applies now more than ever as we go beyond papers to include broad-casting, bombshell cable person-alities, even blogs. (Blogs: after years of usage, the word still sounds like a description of sci-fi monsters from a swamp planet. The attack of the blogs...)

Modern news is all-too-often presented with an eye toward controversy, ratings and the boosting of one political slant or another. This can make reason-able people unreasonably dog-matic considering where they got their facts. When you hear them duking it out over morning coffee you gotta wonder: maybe the only person who’s right is not even there.—Will Rogers.

BENT FORK BAKERY: A SWEET DELIGHT

BY SIMON MURRAY

Michael Bearwald has a sweet tooth. But he doesn’t just indulge it; he puts it to

work—as owner of Bent Fork Bakery in Highwood, along with wife and co-owner Liz Bearwald.

We’re in Bent Fork before the holidays, and it looks like Santa’s workshop on steroids. Cookies are everywhere—in beautifully ar-ranged baskets, mostly, but also on cookie sheets arranged around the bakery and in the back, which is wall-to-wall filled with antique toys and unique items. (Antique collecting is sort of a hobby for the Bearwalds, who also sell them out of a separate room in their bakery.) There are no elves to be found here—just a small, dedi-cated staff rolling dough and

adding tinsel to baskets, which will be sent out to lucky families and corporate meetings all over the country.

The Bearwalds have been making Christmas cookies for a long time, long before they ever opened the storefront on Sheri-dan and Waukegan Roads. In fact, the Bearwalds were the propri-etors of a bakery in what is now Englewood in the 1920s. So baking is sort of in the blood.

One of the recipes that has been handed down through the ages comes from Michael’s grand-father, whose secretary made a delicious date nut bread around Christmas time. When Michael was a little boy, he would make the date nut bread in little orange juice cartons. Then, with an en-trepreneurial spirit, he would go

door to door during the holidays, selling the Christmas bread in his hometown of Northbrook.

The only thing that’s changed is that customers now come to him. And the recipe, thanks to careful tinkering by the Bear-

walds— adding, among other things, flax seeds—has been re-christened “morning bread” in honor of the workers at the bakery who, I have to assume, eat it to start their mornings. How lucky!

Said Liz, “You got a recipe for our own, homemade staff bread. So there you go!”

And that sweet tooth of Mi-chael’s? Its been carefully cali-brated, and also gives the bakery its name. One of the couple’s friends gave it to them right before she passed away. They named it in her honor, as well as Michael’s, who always orders the “bent fork” dessert when they go out to dinner. Call it R&D.

Bent Fork Bakery is located at 335 Waukegan Road in High-wood. Call 847-926-4438 for more information.

• 2 tablespoons soft butter• 2 eggs• 1 tablespoon salt• 1 pound pitted and diced

dates• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts• 1 cup mashed ripe banana

• 1 tablespoon flax seed• 1 ¾ cup white sugar• 2 ½ cups unbleached flour• 2 teaspoons vanilla• 2 cups boiling water

Preheat oven to 350. Using your Mixmaster, incorporate butter with sugar and mix until blended, then mix in eggs, vanilla and banana. In a separate bowl, pour boiling water over dates and add baking soda. Into the butter/sugar/egg bowl, add all dry ingredients, adding walnuts last. Mix together on medium low, then add dates and stir well. Pour into 2 8-9” loaf pans. Bake 45-55 minutes. Enjoy one now, and freeze the other!

THE HOLIDAY TEAPhotography by Larry Miller

The Junior Board of the Auxiliary of the Women’s Board of Rush Univer-sity Medical Center hosted their annual favorite, The Holiday Tea, at Sunset Ridge Country Club to a crowd of more than 425 in early December. Board members offered up various homemade holiday treats during the festive after-noon, which raised more than $25,000, going on to benefit the establishment of the Cancer Bioinformatics Program at Rush. One hundred high school young women who live in the New Trier Township sit on the Board, volunteer-ing their time at the hospital and rais-ings funds for Rush’s programs. Ariana Pavlopoulos, Grace Paul, and Caleigh DeWitt served as co-chairs, and Beth Robinson, Jennifer Daellenbach, and Susan Riley served as the adult chairs.

Achiseled John Frauenheim just about jumped out of his singlet the other day

during a wrestling meet at Loyola Academy.

The Lake Forest High School, a cut 170-pounder, was pumped to the hilt. His adrenaline was flowin’.

There wasn’t anything really on the line. But that didn’t keep Frauenheim from bringin’ the heat. He took down and pinned a lesser opponent in a mere 86 seconds.

“Usually, I’m not like that,” Frauenheim said, a few days later. “I might have been a little too aggressive.”

Nope. No way.Keep it up.“He’s got a real nice mindset

right now,” said Lake Forest head coach Matt Fiordirosa.

Meet the new John Frauen-heim. The attacker. The aggressor.

“I’ve seen a change in him,” Fiordirosa said. “He’s attacking. He’s breaking down kids. He’s imposing his will.

“Two weeks ago, he was keeping things close. Winning by four or five points was good enough for him,” the coach added.

Now … he’s taken things to another level.

Frauenheim’s overall record climbed to 16-1 with a pair of wins in a double dual at LA on Jan. 2. He topped Glenbrook North’s Quinton Bobort in a 15-0 technical fall in 1:50. He followed that up with a pin against LA’s Tom Lyons. He was a takedown machine in both matches.

“Be on the offensive. Push the pace,” Frauenheim said. “That’s what Coach is teaching me.”

Frauenheim is not against pins.“Pins are a great way to get

team points,” he said.But, if he had his druthers, he’d

rather come up with drubbings. “Technical falls are the way to

go,” said Frauenheim, who has a brother, Greg, who plays tennis at DePauw University. “I love to put as many points on the board as possible.”

“I’m pretty good on my feet,” he added. “But I’m not so good

at riding guys out on top. It’s something that I’m working on.”

He might get an argument from GBN’s Bobort. Frauenheim had things working — especially the riding out part — in that match. He was a pinball wizard. He used the tilt move over and over again to rack up back points.

He was equally impressive in a New Year’s Eve meet at Lakes, when Frauenheim came up with a 1:00 pin, a 16-1 technical fall and a 14-6 major decision.

Frauenheim, who now has three falls, four technical falls and three major decisions, has become a takedown artist this season. He’s put his favorite move — double-leg takedown — to good use. He leads the Scouts with 56 TDs.

He might be a long shot to

surpass the school’s all-time single-season takedown record (220), which was set by Roger Smith-Bergsrud in 1995.

But, OshKosh B’gosh, Frauen-heim would love to outdo his good buddy — 2015 graduate Corey Knudsen, a state qualifier who is now wrestling at Wiscon-sin-Oshkosh — in this category.

“I’m a pretty competitive guy,” said Frauenheim. “Corey got 92 last year. I want to smash that. Corey would be happy for me … I think.”

Knudsen is one of Frauen-heim’s mentors along with former LFHS great Regis Durbin, who is now wrestling at Northwestern University after claiming a Class 3A state title at 195 pounds during the 2013-14 campaign.

“Watching Corey make it to state last year is one of my great-est wrestling memories,” said Frauenheim. “And with Regis, who was a great leader by example, I able to watch a state champion for the entire season.”

“He saw those two guys put in the time,” Fiordirosa said. “I think watching them has helped him.”

Frauenheim is a matman on a mission. He’s coming off a decent junior season (23-10). But he would admit that it could have gone even better. He placed sixth (160 pounds) and missed a medal by one spot at the North Subur-ban Conference meet. And he was unable to secure a top-three showing in last year’s regional meet.

“He’s bought into what we’re

trying do here,” said Fiordirosa. “You can see it in his results. He’s had some big wins. He’s beaten some really good opponents.”

Frauenheim, who has received an honorable mention ranking from Illinois Matmen.com, took top honors at the Harvard Invite on Dec. 19, beating Woodstock North’s Randy Kline 9-4 in the 170-pound title match.

His lone loss came in the season opener against Lincoln-Way East’s Brian Burns, a return-ing state qualifier at 182 pounds.

So far, some of Frauenheim’s toughest matches have come in the LF wrestling room — when he goes one on one against 30-year-old Matt Fiordirosa, a runner-up finisher at 135 pounds for Grant High School at the

2001-02 IHSA state tournament.“I hop in there against him,”

said the LF coach, who also is known for his Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting. “Keep him on his toes.”

Interactive coaching at its best.“We get after it,” Fiordirosa

added. “Sometimes, we’ll have 10-minute matches.”

“Yeah, those (10-minute matches),” said Frauenheim. “Those are horrible. We just did one last week. He’s so good. He hands it to me.”

“But sometimes, I need that. There’s no better way to learn,” the wrestler added. “He knows how to push me. If I’m not doing something right, he’ll attack it. He shows me what I need to do to fix it.”

At the same time, Fiordirosa gets an up close and personal look at one of his prized performers.

“John is very strong, very ath-letic, very explosive,” said the LF coach.

And now, you can add: very intense.

Notable: Like John Frauenheim, the Scouts currently are on a roll. They’ve won six duals in a row and currently stand 7-5. LF coach Matt Fiordirosa believes the all-time school record — 15 wins — is in reach. The program defi-nitely is on the rise. Last year, the Scouts ended up 11-11 in duals. “That was a pretty big deal for us,” said Fiordirosa. LF is cutting down on the forfeits. LF’s lineup currently fills 13 of the 14 weight classes. … In a quad meet at Lakes on Dec. 31, LF claimed wins over Richmond-Burton 60-24, Bremen 63-6, Grayslake Central 46-27 and the host Eagles 46-21. … Besides Frauenheim, the other Scouts with winning records include Gage Griffin (15-3 at 126), Cory Barth (15-4 at 195), Caleb Durbin (14-5 at 138), Devin Reich (8-1 at 182), Quinn Dailey (11-4 at 113), Marty Kalebic (11-8 at 160), Marko Tupanjac (11-7 at 152) and Andrew Tuttle (4-3 at 132). Durbin leads the team in falls with seven. Tupanjac has re-corded six pins.

SPORTS

She’s more fundamental than flashy.

But also know this: she’s no flash in the pan.

When you team up with three future Division I teammates — Jeannie Boehm, Haley Greer and Kathryn Pedi — it’s a lot easier to hit jump shots than it is to grab headlines.

New Trier’s Autumn Kalis, a versatile senior guard who com-bines power with finesse, might be a bit unheralded, but she’s not underrated or underappreciated.

And yet, Kalis qualifies as the true hidden gem on this tal-ented and polished 14-3 New Trier team.

The kaleidoscopic Kalis put her multifaceted game on full display in the Dundee-Crown Charger Classic. She especially performed in high def in the championship game on Dec. 30, when she brilliantly tossed in 20 points and added four assists in NT’s 58-42 victory over Steven-son.

Along with Boehm and Pedi, the 5-foot-8 Kalis capped the four-game set by earning all-tournament honors. She also claimed all-tourney honors in the New Trier Thanksgiving Tournament.

“Autumn has been great for us all year,” said Rodgers.

But this … this was a different Autumn Kalis.

Her game really popped against the 12-3 Patriots. Kalis’ three-point shooting (4-for-5) was pinpoint and unapologeti-cally on target. She was pretty much … Autumn-matic.

And, while playing the role of floor general, her floor game was darn near flawless.

Kalis didn’t commit a turnover through the first 19 minutes of the championship game. She had one — just one — for the game.

“Confidence,” said Pedi, who will play college basketball at the College of Holy Cross. “You could just see her confidence growing throughout the tourna-ment.

“I’m really happy for her,” Pedi added. “Everyone knows what she’s capable of. This is a game she needed. She exploded.”

Kalis was on fire early. She

went 3-for-3 from three-point land in the first half. She went downtown again with 2:31 left in the third quarter to give the Trevians a 10-point advantage, 38-28.

“I’m not surprised to see her shoot like that,” said the 6-3 Boehm, who will suit up next season at Harvard University. “I see her shoot at practice every-day. I know how great of a shooter she is.”

Kalis is shooting 42 percent from three-point range and 45 percent overall.

And her form?Picture.Perfect.

She’s got it down pat, and you can partly credit Scott Kalis for that.

Dear old dad is a former bas-ketball player at the University of Tennessee-Martin.

“It came pretty naturally for me,” said Autumn Kalis, who has two basketball-playing sisters in the NT program (Kristie, a junior, and Jessica, a freshman).

Kalis’ 20 points against Ste-venson was a career high. More impressively, she matched the scoring totals of Boehm and Stevenson superstar Ashley Richardson.

“She’s really picked up her

game,” Boehm added, “which is exactly what we needed.”

Kalis’ versatility certainly came into play in this tourna-ment. With Greer, the team’s starting point guard, sidelined with a back injury, the Trevians needed Kalis to slide from two guard to point guard.

Consider it done.Consider it fun.Playing the point brings a

smile to Kalis’ face. “I felt pretty comfortable out

there,” said Kalis. She grew up a point guard

and played the position during her first two under-level seasons at New Trier.

“(With Haley out,) we needed someone to step up and play the point,” said Rodgers, noting that Greer, a Colgate recruit, has missed the last five games with “a back issue.”

The NT coach thought Kalis, a part-time starter on last year’s team which finished third at the Class 4A state tournament, would emerge into something special this season.

Earlier this season, she called Kalis the MIP of the team: Most Improved Player.

Kalis’ dedication to the game is unquestioned. She’s immersed herself into the sport. She’s got basketball on the brain.

For this Autumn, basketball is a game … for all seasons.

“She was in the gym from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. everyday this summer,” said Rodgers. “She really wanted to improve. She really worked hard on her game.”

Being a well-conditioned athlete works to her advantage. Kalis ran track for NT last spring. And she’s a former mid-fielder for the Wilmette Wings youth soccer program.

“I don’t get tired,” said Kalis. “Well, maybe a little.”

Kalis’ stats aren’t off the chart — she currently is averaging 7.5 points and 2.4 assists per game — but her desire is.

Thus, she totally intends to play basketball at the next level. The details just haven’t been worked out yet.

“She’s definitely a college player,” said Pedi. “Definitely college material.”

Notable: The Trevians played in nine games over the Winter Break. After going 1-3 against nation-wide competition in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix, Arizona, they re-bounded and went 4-0 at the Dundee-Crown Charger Classic. “I told the girls before the (title) game, ‘let’s not blow this,’ ” said NT head coach Teri Rodgers. “Even though this was their ninth game over the winter break, they played hard and stayed with it. Proud of them. They deserved to win.” Besides beating Stevenson 58-42 in the title game, NT took care of host Dundee-Crown 55-38, St. Charles North 48-32 and Crystal Lake 69-38. … Senior Jeannie Boehm ended up aver-aging 20.8 points and 10.7 re-bounds per game. Her most productive showing came against the host Chargers on Dec. 26, when Boehm put up 28 points and 14 rebounds. … In the win over St. Charles North, Boehm came up with 21 points, eight rebounds and seven blocks. … Kathryn Pedi led all scorers (17 points) in NT’s victory over CL South. Boehm had 14 points and 11 rebounds in that contest, while Autumn Kalis tallied 14 points.

Air Carollo never got off the ground.

Senior Danny Carollo, a star quarterback on the Lake Forest High School football team, will be sidelined for the entire basketball season with a thumb injury.

Carollo’s varsity basketball career with the Scouts never ma-terialized. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder also sat out 16 games last season with an injured thumb. He took only five shots.

Despite having his left thumb in a cast, the talented two-sport athlete remains a “support” member of this year’s basketball team. You can find him dressed in street clothes on the LF bench.

“Not having him playing hurts us,” said LF head coach Phil LaScala. “He’s a great athlete. A good passer. A good defender. He picks up things quickly.

“His job now,” the coach added, “is to keep me calm.”

Entering the season, Carollo figured to be one of the top players on a team which featured only five seniors. He was one of the better players on LF’s sophomore team two years ago.

As a football player, Carollo was able to play through the injury. He aired it out in two varsity seasons. He threw for 1,881 yards during the 2015 season. He finished with 1,675 passing yards in 2014.

According to Rivals.com, he has received two scholarship offers so far: Northern Iowa and Val-paraiso.

Meanwhile, the Scouts, who were scheduled to play at Steven-son on Jan. 5, ended up with a non-placing 3-1 record at the Jack Tosh Holiday Classic at York High School. They improved to 7-5 with a consolation bracket win over Minooka 51-43 on Dec. 30.

Senior Lorenzo Edwards, who earned all-tournament honors, made 9 of 12 shots to finish with

19 points against Minooka (8-5, 2nd in the Southwest Prairie League). He also had a game-high 12 rebounds and two assists. Justin McMahon also was effective. He ended up with eight points, six assists, four rebounds and three steals. Brian Stickler made his first start of the season and wound up with six points and five assists. Connor Hanekamp and Matt Begley had seven points each, while Ryan Kitchel had four points, four rebounds and three assists.

The Scouts, who entered the tournament as the two-time reigning champs, were knocked out of the winners’ bracket, when they dropped a 69-48 decision to state-ranked Riverside-Brookfield (11-2, 1st in the Metro Suburban West League) in second-round action. Edwards put up good numbers in the loss: 18 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks. McMahon had 11 points, while Brian Stickler came off the bench to produce seven points and three rebounds.

In other games, LF defeated Thorton Fractional South 40-35 in the opening round and Stagg 55-39 in a consolation bracket game. Edwards had 21 points and eight blocks against TF South (7-6, 3rd in the South Suburban Blue League).

Against Stagg (9-3, 1st in the Southwest Suburban West League), Edwards came up with 15 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks. McMahon scored a career high 14 points, while Stickler added a career high 11 points.

“Every game was against a quality team,” said LaScala. “We didn’t play well defensively against Riverside-Brookfield. We let that one get away from us.”

Earlier this season, the Scouts topped Deerfield (11-2, 1st in the CSL North) and Zion-Benton (9-4).

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

BY SIMON MURRAY

When radio personality Erich “Mancow” Muller moved to Wil-

mette, to settle down to his own white-picket-fenced American dream home, he was apprehen-sive at first. “I thought it was going to be purgatory out here,” Muller—a city-dweller for nearly two decades—told the Chicago Tribune in November. He told the newspaper that it ended up being heaven.

But lately it had started to become something else entirely.

A few weeks after moving in, Muller had laid out a mono-grammed towel on his bed. No one was home—at least, that’s what he thought—so it was a little alarming when he returned to his bedroom to find the towel had moved. Not much, but enough. He went away again, came back—and it had moved again. Now the monogrammed letter (an M) was laid straight up, as if in defiance.

Could it be that his five-bedroom, 4,635-square-foot Italian Renaissance-style house was . . . haunted?

“It’s not haunted, that’s ri-diculous,” deflects Muller, after I said as much over breakfast at Fuel in Wilmette. “It’s not haunted—look, the fact is: any time you have these kind of things, the simplest explanation is the right explanation. I don’t believe in ghosts, first of all. But I do believe in spirits, which is a different thing.”

Muller is as passionate as they come: when he believes some-thing, he believes it vehemently, fully, without question. (One notable exception is waterboard-ing: After saying repeatedly on-air that he didn’t believe it to be torture, Muller volunteered to undergo it himself and ended up reversing his previous claims.) And while that spirited, head-strong nature has brought him ratings and fans, it’s not without its fair share of controversy.

The waitress brings us our food; for Muller, a marinated roasted portabella drenched in

hollan-daise sauce. “Brother—looking at this, you realize you ordered wrong,” Muller tells me in his rotund voice; a voice that sounds even more imposing in person, but belies a good-natured humor.

One of the first times Muller found himself anywhere near his current residence, it was with Saturday Night Live funnyman Norm Macdonald and Chicago personality Billy Dec.

There they were: going to a comedy club to watch Macdon-ald’s standup—in Schaumburg. To his city friends, this was akin to setting off on a journey across a nuclear mutated landscape, a la

The Hills Have Eyes. “Like these inbred country people of the suburbs are going to kill us!” Muller says, mocking the snob-bery.

But the country is exactly where Muller was raised. He grew up in Kansas City—but on dirt roads outside the city. (“It’s like the difference between Joliet and Lincoln Park,” he adds for clarification.) A model and a child actor at nine years old, getting work in ads for Lee jeans and Wal-Mart, he expressed

interest in the entertainment industry from a young age.

While attending the Univer-sity of Central Missouri, Muller landed a job at KOKO-AM in Warrensburg, MO. There, he explored the outlandish radio characters that would make him famous. One—a half-man, half-cow who would unzip his pants to reveal udders—would end up sticking with his audience. They wanted more.

Muller was a mortal man no longer. The “Mancow” was

born—a fast-talk-

ing, incorpo-real beast that would spit fire at his enemies and lived on the

radio waves.He would court

controversy early. At the San Francisco station KSOL, on “Wild 107”, Muller made na-tional headlines with a publicity stunt that shut down westbound traffic on the Bay Bridge. He feuded with fellow shock-jock Howard Stern—with Stern brag-ging on-air the day Muller’s father died, berating him with claims that he would dig up his father’s grave and a slew of other offensive comments. Something Muller recounts in his memoir-ish book Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf: My Trip Down Freedom Road.

“I’ll tell you something, there’s

a difference between someone who would like that and someone who would like my show,” says Muller. “I think for the most part we’re positive, glass is half-full—where I think he’s just miserable.”

After working for almost three decades on the Chicago radio scene, Muller stepped away at the end of 2014. He had had enough. The early mornings waking up at 2:30 a.m. were adding up. He wanted to focus on his family, his wife and twin daughters. And he certainly didn’t want to become a shell of his former self—a charge he levels at old enemies Steve Dahl and Jonathon Brand-meier.

“They’re not even going through the motions—they don’t even phone it in,” says Muller. “They’re just lazy, old, miserable, cynical c***** and I didn’t want to become that.”

But when 97.9 FM “The Loop” came calling, the veteran shock-jock couldn’t resist. He now broadcasts his morning show—rechristened “The Mancow Show”—from the Merchandise Mart, the same suite he left in 2006 after becoming the target of numerous complaints for broadcast indecency. The culmi-nation of which would lead to a $300,000 settlement with the Federal Communications Com-mission.

The world is a different place for the old guard of radio. Pod-casts, YouTube, music streaming apps—all take a big chunk of the market of listeners. “The busboy here at this restaurant has a podcast, I’m sure,” says Muller. But radio is still about cultivating personal relationships.

If somebody calls now and they’re talking about a restaurant in Skokie—Muller gets it. He knows those places. ”So it’s a much deeper relationship,” he says. If his listeners ever have mischievous spirits in their house, well, he’ll know just what to tell them: He’s got a guy. Namely, a priest, who blessed the entire house. And save for the random nosey raccoon rummaging in the garage, nothing spooky has hap-pened since.
