It Started Way Back Last Year THE PROCESS FOR PUBLISHING THIS MONTHLY MAGAZINE ACTUALLY BE-

GAN LAST YEAR. That’s when our team put together the themes for every issue.

That’s followed up with meetings – quarterly and monthly – to plot the actual progress for what your SW Lake Lifestyle Editor, Stephen Neilson, calls “making a magazine.”

There’s setting assignments, checking with clients, getting suggestions from readers, photographing, editing, proofing (and editing and proofing and editing and more proofing). Finally, we are at the pointing of writing this column, a task Stephen and I take turns tackling.

It’s now when I realize just how blessed we are with such a wealth of stories. Too many, in fact, for this month, our first-ever “Guys Issue" (we're saving one to roll into a feature article coming soon). The gentlemen featured this month are extraordinary, just as in May when we featured our “Women of Distinction.” The events we highlight

gives each of us this all-too-short time of year. And one of our homegrown Barrington grads debuts his latest movie this month down at the Catlow.

Surrounding us are folks who work hard, play with purpose, raise money, educate, make music, nurture, care, raise families, pray, innovate, excel and serve the community. This issue celebrates just a few of those folks held up as mere examples of what is truly great about this wonderful neck of the woods we call SW Lake County.

A GUY’S GOTTA HAVE A PLACE TO HANG ARTICLE MICHAEL BEIGHTOL

PHOTOGRAPHY MICHAEL BEIGHTOL & STEPHEN NEILSON

GUYS NEED A PLACE TO HANG OUT. It's essential to our character. Everybody needs a safe space to just be themselves.

The prototypical sleaze bar is now (thankfully) a thing of the past for many men. Instead we're looking for comfortable places for gathering, enjoying each other's company, telling a few tall tales and sharing the same stories from way back whenever.

Now the prototypical guys hangout probably includes craft brews, locally sourced eats, sports on TV (maybe), a variety of musical styles, some place where we can take care of ourselves (inward and outward) and be greeted by a friendly face.

Previously, I founded (and sold) a company that developed software for the financial industry.

YOUR MENTORS? Mentors have always been people who work hard, play harder. My dad's at the top of the list.

HOW DO YOU RELAX? Ski trips with old friends, including a recent European trip where we hung out with Olympic great Bode Miller. I also enjoy traveling to taste different beers, including Octoberfest 2018 in Munich.

THE MUSIC MAKER Steve Gritman Musician (Fiddle, Guitar, Vocals) SHARE A FAVORITE RECENT MOMENT? Playing soothing music for an old friend in hospice who woke up to say, "That was beautiful!" before dozing off again. It was the last thing I ever heard him say.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY. I grew up in a musical family, and am married to a wonderful woman, Lisa, who loves and encourages my music. The rest of my family lives out of state. We love hosting an annual Christmas Eve dinner for those like us who are distant from family.

FAVORITE CAUSE? It's very important that we all work together to keep the arts in public schools.

THE M AT H G E E K Oscar Im Owner, Mathnasium Wauconda WHAT'S YOUR BUSINESS ABOUT? Mathnasium is a learning center that teaches math to kids in a way that makes sense.

HOW'D YOU GET HERE? I was a 20-year IT professional before becoming a stay-at-home dad for my daughters. Recently I began a new chapter doing something that provides personal gratification. I love working with kids, teaching and mentoring.

RECENT FAVORITE MOMENT? One of my students was struggling with fractions and the concept of ratios. After several different approaches, we were pretty frustrated... but suddenly something clicked, and it was like finding that one piece of the jigsaw puzzle that you've long been searching for.

THE HEALER Nick Deignan Owner, Deignan Chiropractic HOW DID YOU GET INTO YOUR CURRENT LINE OF WORK? I earned a rugby scholarship to study at Life University in Marietta, Georgia. There I saw the lifestyle and the amazing healing that happens through Chiropractic. Mom's favorite saying is, "You are rich in love." I saw this is what I was made for.

DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS. A place for hope, healing, and health. To give, love, and serve the community.

SHARE A FAVORITE RECENT EXPERIENCE? There is no better feeling than giving a life changing adjustment. Every time we adjust a patient we remove interference from their nervous system and their bodies function better.

THE BEEKEEPER Brian Thomson Owner, Honey Lake Bee Co.

WHO WERE YOUR MENTORS? Norton Williams (retired master beekeeper) introduced me to beekeeping when I was 10 years old. Jon Schechter (Naturalist, writer of nature) showed me how great nature is. Ted Whorle and Lee Record (golf course superintendents) taught me how to observe your surroundings, and never stop learning.

A FAVORITE RECENT MEMORY? Our family visited a small town in the Swiss Alps and went “sledging” down the the mountains. Sledging is kind of like sledding, but takes 2-3 hours to get to the bottom of the “hill” on an old wooden style sled. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Switzerland!

The Allendorfers curated a variety of products to finish their home using suppliers from Germany, Brazil, Canada and the US. “I’m a big fan of Bauhaus design so it was important that we carried out that theme as much as possible,” says Brian Allendorfer, the fifth generation owner of Brian Allendorfer Co., Inc., a residential and commercial building contractor.

LOCAL’S ONLY

LOCAL MAN GOES H O L LY W O O D ARTICLE MICHAEL BEIGHTOL

SCOTT PERLMAN ANSWERED THE PHONE ON THE SECOND RING. The caller was from his hometown, Barrington, with a few questions about the Midwest Premiere of his new film,

Scott Pelman (L), writer and director, on the set of Andover.

“Andover,” at the Catlow Theater, June 2 & 3.

For Perlman, a Barrington High School grad, holding a premiere at the Catlow is the fulfillment of a dream. The venerable theater, since spruced up considerably from when Perlman sought cinematic escape as a kid, is where his love for movies began. “I saw some of my favorite movies of all time at the Catlow,” Perlman says. “Groundhog Day,”

“Shawshank

Redemption,”

“Ordinary

People” and that version of Peter Pan with Robin Williams and Julia Roberts (“Hook”).”

Before heading off to the University of Iowa to study Creative Writing and Psychology, movies provided a refuge for Perlman who lost his father when he was just seventeen. “Losing my dad like I did provided some of the inspiration for Andover,” he says. It’s never easy losing a parent, but teenage boys are especially vulnerable. Perlman was lucky; he had some influential Barrington men providing guidance after his father passed, including Bill Kennedy, Ron Hahn and Mike Miller.

When told recently that Perlman considered him a father figure, Miller’s eyes briefly flooded with tears. Miller, a long-time area jeweler and owner of M. J. Miller & Co., says of the teenage Perlman, “he had such a great imagination and tremendous potential. He was very creative back then and you could see the talent.”

Now Perlman, and Miller, punctuate their mutual success with the premiere of “Andover” before a home town audience. Perlman is coming home.

Miller is basking in what the young man has become.

The Midwest Premiere of Andover will be June 2 & 3 at the Catlow Theater, 116 W. Main Street in Barrington. Learn more at facebook.com/andovermovie 30

“he had such a great imagination and tremendous potential. He was very creative back then and you could see the talent.”

“Yeah, it’s definitely a ‘dramedy,’” Perlman says. The absurdist nature of Andover’s central premise raises question after question. It’s storytelling made for the independent film market with fun performances

A WALK IN THE WOODS ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS WITH THE FAMILY

01 It’s important for me to take my kids outside.

I believe this teaches them to appreciate life’s simple graces.

02 Our fast-paced world’s filled with screens, stress and unrealistic expectations.

Weekends in the woods or short walks can do wonders.

03 Our family’s learning to appreciate the beauty of nature together.

It helps bring balance, calm, and perspective.
