The following letter and response refl ect the debate over proposed updates to facilities in Township High School District 113. To read the statements in full, visit whatshappeningonline.com.

Dear Community Members:

In the April 2011 general election, District 113 Board of Education’s proposed referendum designed to update the aging and inadequate facilities at Highland Park and Deerfi eld High Schools was defeated. These facility needs have not gone away; they remain urgent and critical. The District administration and the Board are determined to continue to work closely with the community to develop an acceptable long term plan to address these needs and update our schools in order to provide our students with a 21st century education in facilities that are safe, productive and conducive to learning.

Sincerely,

Township High School District 113 Board of Education

Proud to be a “Special Interest Group”

If you dare to question the direction and the amount of your tax dollars allocated by the Administration and the Board of Education for School District 113…Welcome to the club for negative sentiment thinkers…or as the BOE has identifi ed you in their recently published communication…a “special interest group.”

Frank Pirri, Chairman, educationfi rstin113.org

His Story, Our History – A Tribute to Veteran Earl EpsteenANNIVERSARY: 1945

And in the end, of course, a true war story is never about war. It’s about sunlight. It’s about the special way that dawn spreads out on a river when you know you must cross the river and march into the mountains and do things you are afraid to do. – Tim O’Brien, “The Things They Carry”

What distinguishes WWII veteran Earl Epsteen’s story from most is that he was never afraid. In fact, he prayed to God to partake in the European and German invasions of ’44 – anything to help destroy Hitler and his sick plan to exterminate the already minute Jewish population. With the passing of June 6 marking the 67th commemoration of the second World War’s end, Earl sits down to refl ect on where he was at this moment 67 years ago. On a convoy headed for Omaha Beach, June 7, 1944, 21-year-old Ensign Epsteen was stationed on the forward part of the LST (Landing Ship Tank) in preparation to disembark 300 GIs. Upon approaching a vast junkyard of obstacles and debris, the GIs transported 60-80 pounds of equipment on their backs through water, on Earl’s cue from Captain Hatcher Williams. That day, amidst the rubble and unforgiving enemy shelling, Earl obeyed his captain’s request, safely delivering 300 men to shore. On his second mission to Gold Beach, Earl and his two gun crews witnessed an explosion to their left from another ship. Earl removed the headphones he used to communicate with the captain, giving them to his shipmate while he walked the ship’s left port for answers. Following another explosion, Earl was thrown into the air, landing painfully. They lost four gun crew men, including the man he gave his headphones to. Earl slowly lifts his

beige pantleg to reveal evidence of the vivid episodes. His curiosity started young. Earl explains, “As a boy growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, I was exposed to anti-Semitism. Some boys picked on me because I was Jewish.” Religious discrimination posed several questions for him, starting at age 8, when two neighborhood boys accused him by shouting, “The Jews killed Christ. You killed Christ.” The prejudice consumed his family atmosphere; every Sunday afternoon, they gathered and listened in fear to Father Coughlin on the radio, who broadcasted anti-Semitic sermons to millions across America. Earl, an avid reader at age 10, somehow got his hands on Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” which hardened his psyche, and ultimately fueled his desire to fi ght for his country. Yet, despite the truth of war and the common assumption of a post-traumatic life, Earl is proud. “The world has never seen a country as great as this. I want to shout it. So many people from so many different backgrounds come together to make this country work. I have friends across all borders. My best friend is an Irish-Catholic.” As perhaps the youngest commissioned Navy offi cer in WWII who successfully carried 5,000 of General Patton’s troops over the Rhine, and as a survivor of a torpedo-struck ship, the conclusion of the war in Europe provided Earl a temporary 30-day leave until his expected return mission to the Pacifi c Theatre. He anticipated his role in the Japanese invasion would result in his death, so Earl used his leave to marry his wife Marian, with whom he celebrated his 67th anniversary on June 4. Timely enough, the atomic bomb dropped during this period, so Earl’s reporting offi cer gave him the opportunity to choose where in the country he would like to

be assigned; his last 10 months of war were spent at the Charleston Navy Air Base, in his home state of Rhode Island. Earl’s most pressing memory is summarized by a number. He asks, “Do you know how many men died in this war? 400,000. People talk about Vietnam, but no one mentions this at all.” Earl doesn’t refer to war as life or death, but instead an experience to remember and appreciate. As one of some 22,000 remaining WWII veterans living in the Chicago area, the Northbrook resident advises the youth who are responsible for passing on this story, “I urge young people to recognize this, with

open eyes, their great fortune and opportunity to live in this superb country – the greatest country the world has ever seen.” Earl relaxes in his chair for a moment, held silent by the weight of his words and thoughts. With Memorial Day passing and Independence Day arriving, June serves as a bridging month to refl ect, question, and learn about our history. Earl doesn’t speak of loss or trauma, but rather pride and gratitude. “I am the product of my generation, I guess,” he shrugs with a smile. May that innocence resonate for a long time.

Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium revealed on June 12 that its latest addition, a Pacifi c white-sided dolphin calf, is a male. Born on Memorial Day, the newborn continues to surpass critical milestones in his development, including gaining weight and demonstrating independence from his mother. Hands-on care has not been necessary as the calf is thriving under the attentive care of mother Piquet (pee-KEHT). The 24-hour care team was able to confi rm his gender by observing him during nursing. During the calf’s fi rst few days, he spent every swimming moment glued to Piquet’s side. As mother becomes more comfortable and he grows more curious, however, the pair has spent a few moments apart throughout the day. “Piquet and her calf are building a strong bond, so Shedd trainers have been able to give mom a well-deserved break by re-introducing her training sessions,” said Ken Ramirez, executive vice president of animal care and training. “Our daily sessions give her calf a chance to practice his diving and

buoyancy, and build his muscles. We are extremely proud of Piquet’s mothering skills and the calf’s progression, but we remain cautiously optimistic during these critical fi rst weeks of development.” Another milestone was hit as the calf began to take in more milk, reducing nursing time to less than 10 minutes. “His belly is beginning to round, expanding fetal folds – the small indentations in the calf’s sides indicating how he was curled in his mother’s womb,” explains Ramirez. “Through our round-the-clock monitoring, Shedd’s animal health team estimates that he’s weighing in around 30 pounds, which is about fi ve pounds more than he weighed at birth.” Piquet and the male calf will remain off exhibit in Secluded Bay for a while longer, as Shedd animal care experts continue to monitor and care for both dolphins. The rest of the Abbott Oceanarium is open and accessible to visitors. For updates, visit sheddaquarium.org, or follow the calf’s progress on Shedd’s Facebook page and Twitter account.

TRAVEL

It’s easy to operate on overload when visiting Washington D.C., unless you have some insider information. If you have never been to the nation’s

capital, of course you should stop at the imposing U.S. Capitol, schedule a White House tour through your congressional district, visit the National Air and Space Museum and stop for a family photo shoot at the

Lincoln Memorial. However, even if you do the Mall from the U.S. Capitol at the east end to the Lincoln Memorial on the west with the White House in between, you will have merely skimmed the top layer of D.C.’s treasure chest. If you are the type of traveler who enjoys checking out places the locals like and visiting some lesser-known tourist spots, here are three gems you should check out:

The Newseum If you have seen a news show with the U.S. Capitol building in the background or of talking heads before a small audience, you would have seen one of the many shows broadcast from a Newseum studio on the third level. The place to start touring this museum’s 250,000 square feet, though, is below ground on the Concourse Level where you see “G-Men and Journalists,” “Sports Photography” and a large piece of the Berlin Wall. Then, take the glass elevator in the center

up to the sixth level for photo-album views out on the terrace and to browse the timely “Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press” exhibit that runs through Jan. 27. Work your way down to the fi rst level, where you will see historical reports – some dating before the country’s founding – and interactive stations stopping you on each level longer than you expect. Plan to spend half a day here. Tip: Be sure to try out the “HP New Media Gallery: A 3D Social Network,” the museum’s newest permanent exhibit. 555 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C.; newseum.org.

The National Gallery of Art’s Garden CaféSome visitors automatically stop by the National Gallery’s East and West Buildings for new exhibits. However, Beltway residents know that the Garden Café in the West Building has become one of the hottest lunch spots in town. Since chefs came over from Provence, France to do a menu for the National Gallery that would complement the spring 2006 exhibit “Cézanne in Provence,” the Garden Café has been offering the foods and fl avors of the countries that go with major exhibitions. Currently, the restaurant has Catalonian dishes designed by D.C. Chef José Andrés and the Gallery’s Chef David Rogers to go with Joan Miro’s regional Spanish roots. “Joan Miro: The Ladder of Escape,” in the East Building now through Aug. 12, tunes viewers into the artist’s background, stages and emotions through nearly 120 paintings, drawings and prints. Tip: Call 202-712-7454 to ask about best time the day you are going and if a

reservation is available. 6th and Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C.; nga.gov/ginfo/cafes.htm

Franklin Delano Roosevelt MemorialInstead of one statue, the FDR Memorial is a stunning walk among waterfalls, sculptures and plantings that lead visitors through quotes and signifi cant events of the former President’s four terms. Fortunately, you no longer have to worry about using up fi lm even though another photo shot lies around every corner of the memorial. Tip: Go over to the Tidal Basin’s walkway for a shortcut to the Martin Luther King

Memorial and for postcard shots of the Jefferson and Washington Memorials. Southwest shore of the Tidal Basin, West Potomac Park, on Ohio Drive, S.W. near Independence Avenue and West Basin Drive; nps.gov/frde/index.htm

French School Students Perform Annual Spring Show On April 28, the French School held its ninth annual Spring Show at the Winnetka Community House. Students ages 3-12 performed upbeat dances, songs and a show-stopping rendition of the French Cancan. The fi rst and second grade students performed a play entitled “La Harpe Magique,” and if one didn’t know any better one would think that these children were native French speakers. Maria Kurt explains, “We are so excited to see our rich French curriculum come to life through so much wonderful singing and dancing.” The show closed with a graduation ceremony, where kindergarten students were presented with berets and medals in acknowledgement of their completion of the French School’s three-year immersion program. For brochures and application forms, call 847-501-5800 or visit online at frenchinstitutens.com. Maple School Donates More Than5,000 Books to Book Worm AngelsMaple School’s PTO in Northbrook collected over 5,000 books during the mid-May Spring Book Fair for Book Worm Angels, a non-profi t organization which encourages schools to have book drives. All books are distributed to public schools where poverty levels are high and many of the students read below grade level. The books help establish classroom lending libraries, and give the kids the opportunity to read books at home and in the classroom.

U.S. Air Force Veteran Peter Stockslager Honored at Maple School CeremonyOn May 25, in honor of Memorial Day, Northbrook’s Maple School held a Flag Retirement Ceremony with a special guest, retired U.S. Air Force and Vietnam War veteran Peter Stockslager. The Northbrook resident, who fl ew F-4 Phantom Planes during the Vietnam War, is currently an active member of the American Legion and works with the Veteran Affairs League. As he looked around the gymnasium and viewed posters depicting all the major confl icts and number of casualties in United States history, he stated that of the 58,169 soldiers who perished during the Vietnam War, 14 were Northbrook residents. Stockslager reminded everyone to remember those who fought and died for their country, and to always respect each other. Maple’s Color Guard was in charge of organizing the ceremony festivities, which included music performed by Maple’s orchestra and band, patriotic prose, and the retirement of a fl ag. Color Guard members included Lindsay Malkin, Francine Yoon, Joey Sewall and Paul Graham. Stockslager is donating the retired fl ag to the American Legion, where it will be disposed of in a respectful manner.

District 30 to Destroy Temporary Records on June 29School District 30 will destroy temporary records for the class of 2007 graduates on June 29. Students who have graduated, transferred or withdrawn from Northbrook/Glenview School District 30 and would like to take possession of their temporary records may do so by contacting the Director of Student Services, Pepi M. Silverman, prior to June 29. In accordance with the Illinois Student Records Act, Northbrook/Glenview School District 30 will retain transcript and health records. Students interested in obtaining their temporary records should contact the director of student services by phone at 847-498-4190, or email at [email protected].

Marie Murphy Sixth Graders Walk to Support Heifer InternationalWilmette’s Marie Murphy sixth graders held a Walk-a-Thon in May to support Heifer International, under the direction of teacher Mrs. Dana Allen. After reading “If the World Were a Village” while studying percentages in math class, students were surprised to learn how many people in the world are hungry and became motivated to help. During the Walk-a-Thon, students walked around the school track for two class periods, with several walking more than six miles. Altogether, students raised over $3000, which will be used by Heifer to purchase chickens, goats, and other farm animals for people in need throughout the world.

Enthusiastic Saint Mary School Walkers Raise FundsSaint Mary School in Buffalo Grove, rated a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, held its annual fundraising Walk-a-Thon on May 11. Kindergartners through eighth graders walked from Saint Mary School to Willow Stream Park in Buffalo Grove. Children walked the loops within the park and then participated in fun outdoor activities. More than 80 school parent volunteers helped along the way. The money raised will be used to help fund the many great programs and resources provided by The Saint Mary Family and School Organization. Donations are still being accepted. For more information, email [email protected].

Maple School Open House and AssemblyMaple Summer School holds an open house and July 4 assembly on the same day this year. The open house takes place from 8:30-11:30am and the assembly is held in the east gym from 11:30am-12:30pm July 3. For more info, email [email protected] or call 847-400-8900.

CELEBRATING OUR 44TH YEAR!CELEBRATING OUR 44TH YEAR!

WH! Deerfi eldJune 26, 2012 arts & leisure 15

Summer has fi nally arrived on the North Shore, the perfect weather for dining al fresco. If you’re searching for a fun and exciting place without traveling too far, M Restaurant in Highland Park is sure to fi t your needs. Owner Missy Crovetti, who is originally from Kentucky, grew up in the restaurant business, having worked at her mother’s restaurant and in catering prior to opening the eatery. She brought her southern-style cooking to Highland Park after searching for an ideal place to raise her two children and to return to her husband’s roots. Once her son started school, Crovetti began entertaining friends and family members. “(The restaurant) is like an open extension of my front porch,” Crovetti said with a charming southern drawl. “I want you to come in and feel at home.” Head Chef Brian Kane started at M over a month ago, but has been in the restaurant business for 11 years. Kane received a degree at the famed Le Cordon Bleu in Las Vegas and served as the head chef at Fuel restaurant in Wilmette. Described as “classic American with a southern infl uence,” while the restaurant’s menu is small, Kane’s take on food is seasonally driven so customers can get a different experience every time. For the summer, the restaurant boasts an in-house garden, and Kane visits local farmers’ markets for fresh produce. Go up the ramp to M’s front door, and it feels like you are just coming in from the front patio. The outside has a fi re pit and couches that open year-round, great for meeting a group or for appetizers.

Walk inside and you’ll see that although the space is small, the interior is stunning. Crovetti hangs artwork for sale by Southeastern Kentucky resident Jeffrey Chapman-Crane, and the bar area is lined with a shimmery blue mosaic walls, white chairs and a fl at-screen TV. The restaurant can seat about 38 guests inside, and also hosts a sizeable yet relaxed outdoor area covered by a gazebo, perfect for private parties and dining al fresco. We began our journey with the Prince Edward Island Mussels, garnished with Chablis, lemongrass, carrot, ginger, basil and cilantro, and served with grilled pretzel bread. The mussels were juicy and savory, mixed with a broth of white wine, garlic and shallots. The grilled pretzel bread was a good counterpart to the appetizer. It wouldn’t be a southern restaurant without typical southern staples, so we next sampled the cornmeal-crusted Fried Green Tomatoes, which were served with a smoked tomato cream sauce. The tomatoes were juicy and fresh, and the sauce was succulent and creamy. As a North Shore native, I had never tried Shrimp and Grits. But the exhilarating mixture of beer-battered jumbo shrimp and cheesy white-cheddar grits made me scrape the bowl empty. The shrimp were chewy to perfection and the grits melted in my mouth. It’s easy to see why this dish and the mussels are the most popular items on the menu. From time to time, Crovetti and Kane test out new dishes to switch up the menu. The Pepper-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with potato pave and asparagus was served as a special, and could defi nitely become another

fan favorite. The steak was well-seasoned and moist to the bite. It had a honey glaze and was served with pearl onions, which settled for a nice balance of spicy and sweet. Like the dinner menu, the dessert menu is always in rotation. We sampled the Root Beer and Chocolate Cake, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It tasted like a root beer fl oat, adding the right amount of sweetness. In addition to the food, the restaurant also boasts a solid wine list, beers on tap and plenty of bourbon. The Man O’ War Sauvignon Blanc hails all the way from New Zealand, and is the perfect wine for appetizers – light, fruity and not too overpowering. If you like chardonnay, the Frank Family Vineyard bottle from Napa Valley is wine done right. For those who want a dinner wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon, also from Napa

Valley, is sure to fi t the bill. Its rich, smoky fl avor fared well with the tenderloin. The restaurant also makes wine pairings with each item on the menu, and offers wine fl ights on Wednesdays and half-priced bottled wines Thursdays. The two dishes Crovetti enjoys most on the menu are the shrimp and grits and the tenderloin special. “We have a genuine love for what we do, and we want our customers to have an enjoyable experience,” she said.

Appetizers: $8-$11.Soups and Salads: $7-$11.Entrees: $13-$25.

My second-to-best friend and greatest rival in high school was a guy named Ray DeMatteis. Ray was a political rival, but not a rival where girls were concerned as he didn’t

date much. Why? Because Ray was – how shall I put this without being callous and insensitive? I can’t, so the heck with it – Ray was large. How large? He was as large as a barge. Of course not – he was as

large as a garage. That’s silly, though he did get aid from the government as a state. Okay, the truth is that Ray weighed around 300 pounds, 21.4 stone as the British say or 25 boulders as callous, insensitive people like me say. I felt close to Ray and a bit sorry for him, though to that he would have said, “Spare me the pity party, Jim, you Munchkin! Someday, I’ll eat you up for breakfast.” And I would have responded, “That’s what I’m afraid of.” That’s an exaggeration of the tension between us. Ray was never angry or out to get me. He liked me and was a great pal, while I on the other hand became his arch-nemesis, his Draco Malfoy, his darkly malevolent, spirit-crushing Lord Voldemort – and that was on a good day. How and why should he have hated me? Let me count the ways (please forgive a bit of repetition from a previous column on some of my election successes way back when. They’re oldie and moldy news items, though it’s nonetheless true that…

• I crushed him for Freshman Class President, though he did come in a distant second. • I beat him for Sophomore Class President – and he thought he “had such a good chance.” • He came in second again when we both ran for Junior Class President and he lost to me by a large margarine, I mean, margin. • President of Student Council? He never had a hefty chance. • Ray did win the election for Senior Class President (ahem) because they wouldn’t let me run. Since I was already Student Council President, holding multiple offi ces would set a bad precedent. • On another unpleasant note, I beat Ray for President of the Music Club. Ray played a musical instrument – the tuba, tub-a-fried chicken (I’m so sorry, that was unconscionable). Then there was beautiful, sexy Karen Rega, whom we both adored from afar. That kind of changed the day of the Junior Class picnic at an amusement park when Karen and I somehow ended up in her car together, kissing like crazy folks. The windows were getting fogged up and they were OPEN. Suddenly, somebody was knocking on the window, and when I cleared the glass I saw Ray. He saw us and reacted in the following manner – pounding on the side of the car screaming, “Oh, God, why am I so fat?” Like I say, Ray had every reason to hate me, but he was big about it (oops), I mean he was a large kind of guy to put that aside (aw gee), I mean he was one whale of a person to let it

slide. Okay, that’s it, I am sorry to be such a fat head! You’ll be relieved to know I did get a chance to make up for all those defeats Ray suffered at my hands. It happened just before high school ended. We had an election for “Best Member of the Music Club.” It was a big deal to us, especially since there was an offi cial presentation to the Best Member winner on Class Night. The award was presented by the President of the Music Club, which happened to be me. As President, I worked closely with Mr. D (short for Delorenzo), who was head of the high school music department and quite a character. Mr. D was coolness personifi ed. He was, after all, a musician. He was also in my corner much more than he was Ray’s – because only one person could fi t in Ray’s corner – and I know this because after the votes for Best Member had been cast, Mr. D called me into his offi ce. “You and Ray are tied exactly.” Mr. D said. “Whoa,” I said, “do we share the award?” “Well, maybe, maybe not – it depends on the one person who hasn’t voted yet.” “Who’s that?” “You!” he answered, winking knowingly. Wow, this election was mine for the taking – again! I took the ballot, thought about it for fi ve seconds, then wrote the name “Ray DeMatteis” on the ballot and put it in the box. Talk about your magnanimous gestures, talk about being nice, talk about what was even nicer – getting to hand a totally thrilled Ray the award. He came running up on stage and we hugged each other something fi erce. That’s the happy ending, right? Nope. Ten years later, when I was a copywriter in Chicago, I got a phone call one afternoon from Ray. He said he was in town, down in the lobby of the building and wanted to see me. Ray didn’t have time to stay, but insisted I come down to meet him. The second I saw him, I knew why – fat Ray had become skinny Ray. He had lost at least 100 pounds, looked phenomenal and wanted to show me he had beaten over-eatin’ at last. It only took him 28 years, but it was well worth the weight.

What do you do if the economy has stalled your career prospects or left you looking for a new job? Many adults are choosing to go back to school. Thousands of laid-off workers or those who are stuck in careers that may not have been their fi rst choice fi nd that the path to new opportunities runs through a classroom. Spurred by the $787 billion economic stimulus bill that President Obama signed back in February 2009, which included almost $2 billion for adult employment services like training, many adults have traded in their time cards for textbooks. Or they’re spending evenings and weekends taking courses after-hours. Community colleges and some vocational schools are fi nding the recession has been good for enrollment. To attract adult students, they’re offering programs that are tailored to individuals seeking new skill sets. Some school marketing teams have sent recruiters into factories and other industrial places to speak to workers at the source. Other schools are expanding or just developing online degree options, which enable adults to take classes on their own time. Online schooling is an attractive alternative because of fl exible schedules and no commute times. According to Back to College, an online resource for those interested in going back to school, recent statistics indicate more than 90 percent of traditional institutions provide or plan to provide some kind of program through distance learning. Thousands of students now log on to distance-learning portals instead of sitting in a traditional classroom. Those interested in going back to school will have some choices to consider and steps to take. Decide on what you want to study. Some adults are going back to school to further

develop their skills in a particular career fi eld. Others are returning to learn entirely new things in preparation for a new job. Have your major clearly defi ned so you can immediately get started with schooling. Choose the college or university. There are schools all over the country and the world. Community colleges are less expensive than private schools, and some offer comparable educations. When going back to school, the prestige of the learning institution may not be as important the second time around. Many adults look for schools with online courses so they can continue to work. These will be factors in deciding where to go. Apply for fi nancial aid. Adults returning to school are just as entitled to apply for fi nancial aid as new students right out of high school. Federal funding and grants, as well as private scholarships, may be available to help pay for education – especially for those who are experiencing fi nancial hardship at the time. Start out slowly. Do not take too many classes at once if you already have a busy schedule. You want to ensure you’ll have time to study and do your homework. Once you can gauge how much time the average class requires of you, you can increase the number of courses accordingly. Be patient. Although many adults are returning to school, it is possible that you will be outnumbered in the classroom by younger students. Some adults feel awkward in these situations, while others embrace the opportunity for new experiences and chances to impart their own knowledge to younger classmates. It may take time to fi nd your groove once more. There are several reasons adults are returning to school. The process has become easier now that the economy has made furthering your education almost a necessity.

Doing business over dinner is as old as business itself. When done correctly, a business dinner can lay the foundation for a lasting and fruitful partnership between company and client. If the business dinner somehow goes awry, those clients may never come back. Such a reality means those trusted to host business dinners are under a lot of pressure. However, hosts can take several steps to ensure their business dinner is likely to be remembered for all the right reasons and not the wrong ones.

Invite earlyWhen hosting a business dinner, it’s best to give prospective or existing clients at least one week’s notice. Anything less than a week will seem too last minute and might give clients the impression – whether true or false – that a host and his company are disorganized and sloppy. When taking a client to breakfast or lunch, the invitation can be extended with less than a week’s notice, but no less than a few days in advance.

Make it work for youWhen extending a dinner invitation to a client, hosts must be certain the night works for them. Canceling or postponing a dinner makes clients feel like they aren’t a priority while also giving them the impression their hosts are disorganized. Before extending the invitation, be certain there are no scheduling confl icts the night of the dinner.

Make a reservationNothing is worse than taking a client to dinner and having to wait to get a table. Once the invitation is extended, make a reservation. Even if the client cannot make it, it’s possible to cancel. When choosing a restaurant, look for one with an established reputation – preferably one you have patronized in the past. Avoid restaurants with loud music or considered trendy, as such locales are often louder and less conducive to conversation. Another thing to discuss when making the reservation are the seating arrangements. If the restaurant is known for its views, reserve a table with a great view and make sure the clients get the best seats at the table. Ideally, your clients should not be looking at the wall or sitting in a busy location, such as outside the kitchen or near the bar or restroom.

Pay in advanceNot all restaurants will allow it, but when making the reservation ask if it’s possible to pay the bill prior to the dinner. Ideally, the bill should not come to the table. However, if the restaurant won’t allow the bill to be paid in advance, grab it once it’s left on the table and then quickly look it over before paying. Never argue over the bill when hosting a client for dinner. If need be, save the receipt and call the restaurant the following day.

Confi rm the dinnerThe day before the dinner, call the client and confi rm the date. If the client cannot make it, don’t get fl ustered. Simply extend another invitation to a date yet to be determined and cancel the existing reservation.

Be the fi rst to arriveHosts should arrive fi rst and never leave a client waiting. Upon arrival, give the maitre d’ your credit card. Don’t be afraid to tell them you are there for an important business dinner and consider tipping in advance. It might just lead to more attentive service throughout the night.

Be nice with the staffBeing rude to the restaurant staff or complaining loudly about the service or food will likely turn off the client. Be polite with staff and, if need be, excuse yourself from the table and discreetly discuss with the server any problems with the service away from the client and the table.

Go easy on the alcoholFans of the AMC television series “Mad Men” might feel the best business deals are those consummated over a couple of bottles of scotch. Though that might have been the norm in the ’60s, such an approach is largely outdated. A sipping drink, such as a glass of wine, is most appropriate. Limit yourself to one or two glasses. If the waiter is liberal with the refi lls and the client is taking full advantage, don’t be afraid to excuse yourself from the table and discreetly ask the server to stop refi lling glasses or offering another bottle.

Get down to businessLet the client talk about business whenever he or she chooses, but if business doesn’t come up, wait until after the main course has been completed to broach the subject.
