BARRINGTON – Construc-tion at Hough and Main Streetswill begin in downtown Bar-rington this fall after VillageBoard members on Mondayunanimouslyapprovedaone-sto-ry amendment to a long-stand-ing, two-year development plan.

New amendments to thevillage’s Hough Main Redevel-opment Site Ground Lease andplanned development now au-thorize Evanston-based devel-opment Envision Reality Ad-visors and Arthur Hill & Co. tobuild a one-story, 25,000-square-foot restaurant and retail de-velopment in the vacant lot be-tween the Catlow Theater andBarrington Village Hall.

The village is leasing $12million worth of land to the de-velopers at $1 each year for 99years, according to BarringtonVillage Manager Jeff Lawler.

A 125-car public parkinglot will remain village-ownedwith a $1 million build-out costthis year and $1 million main-tenance cost every 16 years,Lawler said.

Lawler added that the de-velopers will be responsiblefor a fraction of the long-termparking lot maintenance feedepending on “how many dol-lars they are able to bring in.”

Several residents spoke outto the village’s plan commissionmembers and architectural re-view committee earlier thismonth, urging the groups to haltthe amendment before it went onto the Village Board for final ap-proval. Two residents addressedboard members once more Mon-day with the same concern.

Mike Kozel of Barringtontold board members they are“giving away one of the vil-lage’s most valuable assets toan out-of-town developer with

a “haste-fully conceived plan.”“You are asking citizens to

settle for a strip-center shop-ping mall,” Kozel said. “Thiswill not increase businesscoming to town. It will justsplit up existing business.”

Jim Magnanenzi of Bar-rington said his main concernis a financial one.

“The market will usuallytell you what the right thingto do is,” Magnanenzi said,explaining that luxury con-dominiums would be best forHough and Main developmentin the current economy. “Intel-ligent residents and local ar-chitects have all said it wouldbe best to go residential.”

One resident, Curt Moore,

spoke in favor of the approveddevelopment amendment.

“There’s been a demise ofretail in Barrington,” Mooresaid. “It’s time to look at wherewe are and where we are go-ing to move forward. I thinkthe enhanced plan is the rightthing to do at this time. Weneed to move forward and getthis thing done.”

Lawler said board membershave never been opposed to aresidential development, butwhen the project was first pre-sented years ago, “all devel-opers wanted to go with first-floor retail.”

“The board has always beenmarket-driven with this proj-ect,” Lawler said.

Under the redevelopmentamendment, Barrington re-tailers must increase theirfloor space by 40 percent in or-der to relocate into the Houghand Main center, Lawler said.

“We want to retain areabusiness and protect thosebusinesses to the furthest ex-tent possible,” Lawler said.

Lawler said the village’s

main reason for continuingits ownership of the parkinglot is to make it available toall downtown guests – not justthose shopping and dining atthe village center.

Arthur Hill & Co. Pres-ident Bruce Reid said thethree-building complex is tobe built all at once with eightmonths of construction be-ginning by Labor Day. Bar-rington-based Pepper Con-struction will be in charge ofthe build project as originallyplanned, according to Reid.

Reid said residents can ex-pect 10 or slightly more restau-rant and retail tenants to occu-py the development with a focuson fast, casual restaurants.

Forest preserves to seek local input on Horizon Farms landBy TARAH THORNE

[email protected]

BARRINGTON HILLS –Barrington area naturalistshave a whole lot of land attheir fingertips now that theForest Preserves District ofCook County has acquiredhundreds of acres of openspace following an August 2013foreclosure at Horizon Farmsin Barrington Hills.

The Cook County CircuitCourt confirmed the $14.5million sale of the 387.25-acreequestrian property to the dis-trict May 6. Amcore Bank fileda foreclosure request with theCook County Circuit Courtagainst Richard Cannon andMeryl Squires Cannon, whohad bought the farm land for$19 million in 2006, accordingto court records.

Horizon Farms historydates back to 1983 when prop-erty was purchased by Wil-liam McGinley and his family.When the land was sold to theCannons, then-resident RobertMcGinley retained 14 acresof the land and a home on theeastern part of the property,which he still owns today,according to the BarringtonArea Conservation Trust.

The trust’s Executive Di-rector Lisa Woolford saidthe trust has been “planningahead” for such change inownership ever since it andConservation Foundation ofNaperville placed a conserva-tion easement on the propertyin 2003. The easement dividedthe property into a maximumof eight lots, rather than the 80homes that could be developedunder the village of BarringtonHills’ five-acre zoning require-ments, according to the trust.

Since purchasing the prop-erty, the forest preserves dis-trict has announced its plan tofully assess the land for pub-lic safety and request publicinput for future use. District

spokesman Don Parker saidthe district shares a similargoal with the trust.

“We will be doing habitatrestoration and most likelyworking with local conserva-tion groups,” Parker said.

Parker said the land is“beautiful with open, rollinghills, pasture and hay fields,and many recreational areasto hike or bike.”

Hiking or biking would beallowed under the terms of theeasement, Woolford said, butathletic fields, golf courses,and buildings, “or any othertype of structure” would beprohibited.

Woolford said she is proudof the trust’s preservation ef-

forts at Horizon Farms, add-ing she is looking forward tomeeting with the Forest Pre-serves District to discuss fu-ture plans.

“The forest preserves havealways shown a great historyof land stewardship,” Wool-ford said. “It’s great that theland is still here. The Cannonsmaintained it well and I knowthe forest preserves will con-tinue to place priority on pres-ervation.”

Woolford said the trusthas “no specific recommenda-tions” for the Forest PreservesDistrict at this point, asidefrom keeping the space “openand natural.”

The trust has been stressing

that area residents preserveand plan oak trees, which arepresent on the acquired land.Research conducted by theMcHenry County Conserva-tion District in 2005 showed oakwoodlands had declined by 87percent in less than 200 years.

A grassland bird habitatthat naturally occurs on theproperty will continue to bebeneficial to the area as well,Woolford said, since many ofthese bird populations are indecline.

The Forest Preserves Dis-trict now owns 69,123 acres ofland with a goal of reaching itsstatutory limit of 75,000 acresby 2022, according the dis-trict’s website. Parker said thetrue goal is to raise the statuto-ry limit to 90,000 acres as partof an upcoming century devel-opment plan.

Parker said the Cannonshave been talking about appeal-ing the Cook County CircuitCourt’s decision, but the forestpreserves district is “confidentthat the acquisition is final.”

No future court dates havebeen set to his knowledge, Park-er said, although a “hearing fora motion to wave a bond require-ment for a court appeal may hap-pen in the next few weeks.”

B Area Conservation Trust Executive Director Lisa Woolford said Horizon Farms land, in Barrington Hills, is mostly equestrian. Buildings are prohibited on the land due to a 2003conservation easement, Woolford said, but some agricultural zones have been established on the property to maintain horses.

A conservation easement placed on the Horizon Farms land in Barrington Hills in 2003 prohibits nativewetlands from ever been drained, according to Barrington Area Conservation Trust Executive Director LisaWoolford who said the purpose of the easement is to keep Barrington area land “open and natural.”

Salvadoran teens arrive at hospital for heart proceduresSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

BARRINGTON – Lastweek, two Salvadoran 13-year-olds, Andrea and Leslie, willarrive at Chicago O’Hare In-ternational Airport for up-coming cardiac care at Advo-cate Good Shepherd Hospitalin Barrington.

Once settled with their in-dividual host families in Haw-thorne Woods, the teens werescheduled to be seen May 14

for initial testing and proce-dures by Dr. Mehran Jabbar-zadeh, a cardiac electrophysi-ologist at the hospital.

Both teens suffer fromtachycardia, which is a fasterthan normal heart rate at rest,according to a hospital newsrelease.

Tachycardia occurs whenan abnormality in the heartproduces rapid electrical sig-nals. The condition can seri-ously disrupt normal heart

function, increase the risk ofstroke, or cause sudden cardi-ac arrest or death, accordingto the release.

Jabbarzadeh said the pend-ing heart procedure, “an elec-trophysiology study with cath-eter ablation,” will consist ofinserting “thin electrode cath-eters into blood vessels whichare then guided to the heart.”

“We then identify the ab-normal heart tissue which iscausing the [condition] and

destroy it by applying heatthrough one of these cath-eters,” Jabbarzadeh said.“Once this is done, the girlscan be cured of their irregularheart rate problems.”

The medical mission wasarranged in partnership withthe worldwide nonprofit or-ganization, Healing the Chil-dren, which matches childrenin need from countries lackingavailable medical treatmentwith physicians and hospitals

in the U.S. having the capabil-ities to help and the willing-ness to donate their services.Healing the Children also or-ganizes medical missions tothird-world countries whereU.S. doctors and nurses treatdozens of children in need, ac-cording to the release.

Advocate Good ShepherdHospital staff has been work-ing with Healing the Chil-dren, performing heart proce-dures, since 2007.

Thorne: What do you like most

about Barrington?

Polachek: I especially lovethe historic downtown areaand the atmosphere it bringsto Barrington. I can walk tothe grocery store, the bank,and my favorite breakfastrestaurant (Egg Harbor). Ihave a lot of business meet-ings in Cook Street Coffee andam always at the BarringtonArea Library. We have greatneighbors and a bike pathjust down the block, which isperfect for walking the dogs.

Thorne: Two years ago, you over-

came mediastinal seminoma cancer.

How did this diagnosis affect your

life?

Polachek: The diagnosis,treatment and recoveryprocess was profound. I wroteabout it in a series of poemsthat I published called “TheComedy of a Simple Soul.”But, to sum it up in one word,it was a journey. Philo-sophically and spiritually, Iquestioned everything. It wasa deep reassessment of lifeand my beliefs. I came out theother side a different person—wiser, more confident, andmore self-aware.

Thorne: Had you ever heard of

this form of cancer before? How

rare is it?

Polachek: No. I had not heardof it. A mediastinal seminomais very rare. Only a handful ofcases come about every year.A seminoma is what LanceArmstrong had, but minewas in the mediastinum (thechest). Again, very rare.

Thorne: When did you become

involved with Wellness Place in Pal-

atine? How were Wellness Place’s

support services instrumental to

your healing?

Polachek: I was turned on toWellness Place by my oncol-ogist toward the end of my

treatment. What surprisedme about the cancer processis this: The recovery pro-cess – after chemotherapywas complete and my cancerwas deemed cured – was thehardest part. The treatmentwas physically and mental-ly difficult, of course, but itseemed like it was over in theblink of an eye. Then, aftertreatment a huge uncertaintyarose. Anxiety arose. I wantedmy body to feel better quick-ly and it just wasn’t. This iswhere the counseling andfree alternative treatmentsfrom Wellness Place becameinvaluable. The Reiki, HealingTouch, Massage, Naprapathyand weekly yoga class were soimportant to my recovery.

Thorne: What are you most

excited for with the birth of your

first child?

Polachek: Truly everything.I’m excited for another chap-ter in my life. But, if I had tochoose one thing, I just can’twait to hold my son in myarms for the first time.

Thorne: How have you helped

Wellness Place prepare for or spread

word of their annual Community

Cancer Walk Celebration May 18?

Polachek: I’m very excitedto participate for the firsttime. I am on the WellnessPlace Walk Committee. Wehave been spreading the wordabout the walk in a grass rootsway, getting into the commu-nity and generating excite-ment and awareness. I have ateam this year — Boost.

In my book, “Strong WorkEthic,” I wrote “Celebrate yoursmall successes. Celebrateyour friends’ successes…Marksuccesses, large and small, andcelebrate them.” That’s what’sunique about this event. It’s theone day of the year for this com-munity to come together andtruly celebrate for themselves,their family and their friends.

Thorne: You’ve started your

own business. Please describe your

services and the entrepreneurial

process.

Polachek: The entrepreneur-ial process in a nutshell istaking something that you areuniquely great at, packagingit into something that peoplewant, and figuring out a wayto let people know about it …

simple, but not easy. I have abook called “Pre-Marketing”that explains more.

In launching Funnel Mar-keting Group, I concluded thatI was uniquely good at twothings: (1) grass roots mar-keting (networking, strategicpartnerships, local or commu-nity marketing, life cycle mar-keting, etc.) and (2) modernmarketing (web design, socialmedia, marketing automation,email marketing, etc.

My grass roots market-ing skills were honed over10 years while part of smallteams that grew some of thelargest martial arts schoolsin the country with NationalKarate. My modern marketingskills were mastered whileat a small marketing start-uplaunched right as social mediamarketing was becoming re-spected and commonplace.

It is with this unique back-ground that I provide sophis-ticated solutions to lawyers,accountants, IT companies,chiropractors, psychologists,consultants, sstrologers, Real-tors, construction companies,studios (karate, yoga, dance,Pilates), etc.

Thorne: What are your long-term

goals, both in business and as a

father?

Polachek: I just want to be‘a ripple of positivity.’ In mybusiness, I want to serve myclients. I want to help themgrow. Most of all, I want themto have a great experienceworking with me. I want touplift them, perhaps inspirethem, and always leave themwith a smile on their face. Asa father, I simply want to lovemy son. I will provide unwav-ering support and uncondi-tional love.

Thorne: What do you enjoy doing

in your spare time?

Polachek: I still participatein the martial arts at Nation-al Karate. I’m a third-degreeblack belt, but not as activeas I used to be. I recentlyhelped judge a tournamentwith several hundred com-petitors, and I do a littlestretching or Tai Chi once ina while. I have written sev-eral books, all published andavailable on CreateSpace.com and Amazon.com. I alsolove the occasional TV show.I’m a sap for detective stuff:NCIS, Bones, Psych, WhiteCollar, Castle.

Thorne: Do you have any advice

for someone going through a tough

life transition?

Polachek: Don’t do it alone.I read many books and washelped by good friends whoare also counselors, psychol-ogists, coaches and healers.I also like to say “look intothe taboo.” I wrote this inthe final chapter of my book“Pre-Marketing.” For me,energy healing and medita-tion have been two of the mostimportant aspects of my heal-ing. I know a lot of people whothink Reiki is “wooh wooh”stuff. But, I won’t go a monthwithout it.

“Space Cowboys” movieinspires new approach

By STEPHANIE KOHLBarrington Suburban Life Contributor

BARRINGTON – Threeretired teachers recently de-scended on Barrington Com-munity Unit School District220 with the mission of physicseducation in mind.

It was an idea conceivedby Superintendent Tom Leon-ard following his viewing ofthe movie “Space Cowboys,”released in 2000. The film isabout four retired astronautswho return to space to com-plete a mission. With that ideain mind, Leonard came upwith a plan to turn to retiredteachers to return to the dis-trict to help mentor and offerteaching advice and strategiesto the district’s current teach-ers.

It was at a Jimmy Buf-fett-themed retirement partythat Leonard approached ScottBeutlich, whom taught highschool physics for 33 yearsin Crystal Lake CommunityHigh School District 155 andretired in 2012, Chris Chiaver-ina, whom taught high schoolphysics for 34 years in District220 and at New Trier HighSchool and retired in 2002, andJim Hicks, whom taught highschool physics for 37 years inDistrict 220 before retiringfrom full-time teaching in 2000and part-time teaching in 2003,with his idea.

The three soon became thespace cowboys and the pilotprogram was funded by theBarrington 220 EducationalFoundation.

“We thought it would be agreat idea to utilize the exper-tise of these teachers,” saidBecky Gill, director of elemen-tary curriculum.

This year’s focus was teach-ing light to second-gradersand light and sound to seventhgraders. The teachers firstworked with the space cow-boys to understand the activi-ties and experiments and gainknowledge on the physics con-cepts. All of the district’s sev-enth-grade science teachersparticipated and the majorityof the district’s second-gradeteachers participated.

The space cowboys thenworked with second-graders at

Sunny Hill Elementary Schoolto put their experience into ac-tion.

“We really enjoyed the en-thusiasm of not just the teach-ers, but the students,” Hickssaid.

Students went throughphysics stations before groupfollow-up with both the stu-dents and the teachers.

“The essence of this ap-proach is the students have anopportunity to interact withthe phenomena first,” Chia-verina said.

The approach of introduc-ing concepts hands-on beforediscussing the science of themprovides a non-judgmentalway for students to experienceand explore science, the spacecowboys said.

“It mitigates science anx-iety because they’re not wor-ried about getting the right an-swer,” Chiaverina said.

Beutlich added the inqui-ry approach allows studentsto discover concepts on theirown, rather than teachers justtalking about the concepts.

“With the kids, we wantto develop that enthusiasm,maintain that enthusiasmand carry that love of sciencethrough,” Gill said.

The goal of this teachingmethod is for the students tonot just quote the equations,but know the science and thereasoning behind the equa-tions.

“We want them to ride theequations before they derivethe equations,” Hicks said.

Gill said one of the thingsshe noticed in her observa-tions of the space cowboyswith the students is that theydon’t give the answers, butthey guide the students to theanswers by asking questions.

“When you’re observingthis in action, you see thechildren [are] excited becausethey are going to be activelearners,” Gill said.

Although the space cow-boys have been out of schoolfor a few years, they all agreedthe return to the classroomwas seamless.

To see the space cowboysin action, check out the BHS-TV student video at youtube/PzP2-shWZFo.

Pricing, marketing and

preparation are just a

few of the critical topics

residential real estate

agents need to utilize

when working with

clients 50 years and

older.

For the last several years

I’ve had a continual

discussion with older

adults that explores

any number of issues

important to seniors,

especially how to get the

most value from selling

a home. Senior housing

organizations, such as

The Garlands and Villa

Addolorata, have invited

me to lead presentations

to both seniors and their

adult children.

For my career, it was

really important that I put

in the study and earn a

designation as a Seniors

Real Estate Specialist

(SRES). Any agent with

SRES designation has the

experience, knowledge

and marketing savvy for

working with adults over

the age of 50. A SRES

SRWOQ[RR OW ] TRXVO^RS

senior specialist and

trained to assist with the

^[][TO]_ ][S R\ZVOZ[]_

challenges senior clients

face when selling a long-

held family home.

SRES designees not

only create a customized

approach to marketing

and selling a property,

but they help clients

explore other housing

options to ensure that a

next home best serves

the current and future

needs for the senior

clients.

A SRES real estate

agent has knowledge

about everything from

reverse mortgages

and the importance of

universal design to the

uses of pensions, 401k

accounts and IRAs in

real estate transactions.

Any senior who’s

exploring the real

estate market now

should consider an

agent with a team

of professionals that

O[T_USR YU]_O^RS PZ\R

inspectors, movers,

attorneys, CPAs,

staging professionals

and other experts, all

capable of ensuring

that the home sale and

moving experience is

as seamless as possible

with the highest possible

return.

for an armed home invasionon Dec. 5, 2008.

Ruffin said three victimswere kidnapped – a wife, hus-band and son. The son escapedthe home through a windowand alerted police, he added.

Kim fled the home once po-

lice arrived, Ruffin said.An abandoned car found in

a community church parkinglot earlier that same day gavepolice a lead on the arrest.

A Barrington Hills policeofficer found the car with anote that said it had “brokendown” and the owner would“be back.” Kim was identifiedas the car’s owner when thepolice officer scanned the li-

cense plate, Ruffin said.Ruffin said the car was

gone following the home inva-sion. It was the same vehicleKim used to flee back to hisparents’ temporary home atthe time, in Wilmette, wherepolice made their arrest, hesaid.

After the cruelest winter in my memory, the sites, sounds,and temperature of spring are more than welcome. My kids arehappiest outside and if allowed would spend all day outside.Here are five of our favorite ways to welcome spring outside:

1. Hastings Lake Park, Lake Villa: This new park just openedthis spring by the LakeCounty Forest PreserveDistrict and is one of the bestplaygrounds in Lake County.With a turf surface perfect formy new walker and multiplelevels and structures of play,the whole gang enjoys it. There are also paved paths aroundHastings Lake and clean, real (no pits!) bathrooms.

2. Chicago Botanic Gardens, Glencoe: We have a membershipto this crown jewel of the suburban area. My children loveexploring the new learning gardens and participating in theirfamily drop-in activities. We also are big fans of the modeltrain garden. On May 24, the Butterflies and Blooms exhibitsopens again, giving you an up close and personal look at hun-dreds of butterflies.

3. Independence Grove, Libertyville: A favorite family summertradition is to grab donuts from Lee’s Donuts and go eat themat Independence Grove. Dad takes the big kids to the play-ground to enjoy the park before the tires get too hot, and momenjoys a run around the lake with the baby. It’s a perfect familyouting.

4. Volo Bog State Natural Area, Ingleside: Volo Bog is a StateNatural Area and the only quaking bog (open water center)in Illinois. Explore the paths or the new chipmunk cove. Thevisitors center is open Wednesday to Sunday to provide yourfamily with more interesting facts and things to do.

5. Heller Nature Center, Highland Park: We love participatingin Heller’s toddler programs, Babies in the Woods and Storiesin the Woods. In addition to giving us a chance to visit thewonderful nature center, they are fun and engaging for eventhe most antsy toddlers. We usually pack a picnic lunch andalso explore the new wander woods that has open areas thatencourage natural exploring of the outdoors.

Barrington 220 schoolsfoundation steps forward


BARRINGTON – The Bar-rington 220 Education Foun-dation has approved twomajor projects to fund forthe school district in the up-coming 2014-15 school year –Project Lead the Way at Bar-rington middle schools andthe Business Incubator at Bar-rington High School.

Each project proposal wassubmitted to the foundationby Barrington 220 adminis-trators who have sought ideasfrom school staff. A commit-tee of foundation board mem-bers and various communitymembers were charged withmaking a recommendation forthe approval of trustees, ac-cording to a foundation newsrelease.

As approved, a Project Leadthe Way Gateway to Technolo-gy project will be funded with$40,000 to extend BarringtonHigh School’s pre-engineer-ing program to the studentsof Station and Prairie middleschools. This project will ful-ly replace the current tech-nology lab exploratory seg-ment at those middle schoolsand extend pre-engineeringeducation to sixth- through

eighth-graders, according tothe release.

Prairie Middle School ex-ploratory team lead Steve Tay-lor said the new project willbe a “rigorous, 21st-centurystandards-based, nationwidecurriculum that focuses on de-veloping technology literatestudents through the studyof engineering, architecture,robotics and bio-medical sci-ences.”

The second approved proj-ect – a second year of businessIncubator funding at $12,500– will continue to allow Bar-rington High School studentsto test their entrepreneurialskills. New as of the beginningof the 2013-14 school year, stu-dents have had the opportuni-ty to create and fully developtheir own product or service.Business experts have servedas coaches while communi-ty mentors guide studentsthrough the business start upprocess of ideation, market re-search and plan development.

Having committed to fundthe business Incubator proj-ect for 4 years, the foundationis beginning to raise fundsthrough special events andprivate donations.

Restaurant reviews

GRAYSLAKE – If you’rein town, and you want tosit down and have a greatsandwich, Emil’s Tavern onCenter is a terrific option.

If you also want to watch asporting event on a massiveprojection screen TV, thenEmil’s is the perfect option.

I stopped by on a recentafternoon with a couple of co-workers for lunch, and whilethere weren’t any particularlythrilling games taking placeat that time, there still wasa good crowd at Emil’s. Sowhile the awesome TV screenclearly is a draw, it was plainthat it wasn’t the only thingattracting folks to the restau-rant.

Perusing the menu, it wasclear immediately that Emil’sis a good place to get someappetizers and drinks withsome friends. The “Pre-GameWarmup” portion of the menuis extensive – wings, nachos,quesadillas, chicken tenders,mussels ... and that’s not evenhalf of it.

Since it was lunchtime, wewent straight for the burgersand sandwiches. Distractedby an important phone call(rude, I know, but I swearit was really important), Ihad to rush my selection andlanded on my old standby, aReuben. With corned beef,thousand island dressingand sauerkraut and grillednicely, it’s hard to believesome restaurants manage tomess up such perfection, but

they do. Fortunately, Emil’sknew what they were doing– piling on the ingredientsin perfect proportion so noone flavor overwhelmed theothers. Along with some cole

slaw and a generous portionof fries, I ended up getting asecond meal out of it.

One of my coworkers is avegetarian, so she picked theveggie burger. She explained

that the veggie burgers usual-ly available at grocery storestypically are trying, andfailing, to emulate meat, butthe patties at Emil’s are some-thing special. They’re madefrom fresh celery, carrots,bell peppers, onions, garbanzobeans, brown rice flour andsunflower seeds. Even as adevoted carnivore, I had toadmit that sounded good, andshe said it was very good.

Our other coworker chosethe Cubano, another staple ofrestaurants everywhere, andwouldn’t you know, Emil’swas 3-for-3 in pleasing ourlunchtime party. The wrapwas filled with pulled pork,ham, Swiss cheese, pickleand honey mustard, and itdefinitely looked as tasty ashe said it was.

If you’re coming to Emil’sat dinnertime and not inter-ested in a sandwich, wrapor burger, they’ve also got aselection of great-soundingsalads, including a grilledchicken Santa Fe salad,a blackened steak Caesarsalad, and a Julienne salad,among others. And if you’vealready had your fill of leafygreens for the day, there’s anextensive pizza menu, with allmanner of sizes, crusts andtoppings available.

There also are chickenand rib dinners, and a Fridaynight fish fry special and Sat-urday night prime rib speciallisted on the menu.

The consensus as we leftwas that we’d had a greatmeal, and no one wanted togo back to the office. Well, atleast we had a great meal ...

Broncos, Fillies take top seeds into playoffsBy ANDY SCHMIDT

Barrington Suburban Life contributor

BARRINGTON – It is downto that time of year again aspostseason play gets underwayin high school baseball andsoftball. Barrington teams arelooking good heading into re-gional play with each havinga chance of advancing into thesectional round and beyond.

Here is a look at what base-ball and softball are up againstwhen regional play gets started.

BaseballThe Broncos have drawn the

top overall seed in the Class 4ACrystal Lake South Regionaland will open play at 4:30 p.m.Wednesday against the winnerof the play-in game between thehost No. 4 seeded Gators andNo. 5 Crystal Lake Central.

The other half of the region-al has No. 2 Jacobs facing No. 3Cary-Grove.

Barrington played both ofthose teams earlier this seasonwith a 4-3 win at Jacobs comingApril 9 and a 5-4 eight-inningloss coming at Cary-Grove thenext day.

Coach Pat Wire said thereisn’t any needed pressure beingthe top seed to win the regional,especially after what happened

last season.“I feel the regional is load-

ed with great programs again.Do I feel pressure? Every timewe take the field, I want peopleto believe that Barrington is aspecial baseball program andis difficult to beat,” Wire said.“I guess every game is like aplayoff game to me. I do knowthat the No. 1 seed, Cary, didn’twin the regional last year. Wedefeated them. Do I think we

upset Cary last year? No I donot. Overall, and I believe thecoaches in our regional wouldagree, that the seeds don’t real-ly matter much in this loadedregional.”

If the Broncos do get out ofthe regional (the final is at 3p.m. May 31), they would moveon to the McHenry sectionalat 6:30 p.m. June 4 against thewinner of the Rockford Guil-ford regional.

SoftballThe Fillies made it within

one win of the state champion-ship game last season. While ithasn’t been as good of a seasonin 2014, Barrington was stillawarded the top seed in theClass 4A Cary-Grove regional.The Fillies play their first gameat 4:30 p.m. Tuesday against thewinner of the play-in game be-

tween No. 5 Crystal Lake Cen-tral and fourth-seeded Jacobs.

The other side of the brack-et has No. 2 Cary-Grove facingNo. 3 Crystal Lake South. Theonly team in the group Bar-rington has faced is Jacobs,which defeated the Fillies, 7-3,April 1.

A Fillies victory in thesemifinal would move themto the championship game at4:30 p.m. May 30. The regionalchamps go on to face the win-ner of the Rockford Guilfordregional at 4:30 p.m. June 4 inAlgonquin.

The scheduling was favor-able for Barrington fans. Theyhave an opportunity to see allfour of Barrington’s possibleregional games, with baseballplaying Wednesday and Satur-day and softball playing Tues-day and Friday.

“Every time we take the field, I want people

to believe that Barrington is a special baseball

program and is difficult to beat. I guess every game

is like a playoff game to me.”

Barrington head coach
