LAKE BARRINGTON – Battle House mission-based laser tag isn’t your typical laser tag experience. Slated to open in June, Battle House aims to provide an adrenaline-pumping, calorie-burning experience. The roughly 11,000-square-foot facility located in the RecPlex, 28039 W. Northpointe Parkway in Lake Barrington, will offer fun and professional training for those at least 8 years old. The facility also will be made available for use to public safety and U.S. military organizations. The new business startup is owned by Bull Valley residents Doug and Jane Huckbody. About two years ago, as Huckbody was leaving his last job, he and his wife asked themselves what they really wanted to do. “The bottom line was ‘let’s do something fun with the latter part of our careers,’ ” said Doug Huckbody, an Air Force veteran. The family was introduced to tactical laser tag in Milwaukee as a pre-wedding event for daughter Carolynn Runzheimer. “Pretty soon, every time we had a family get together in

The facility will feature plenty of high-tech props during missions, like an interactive control cube that teams will try to use to get control of the building. Doug Huckbody said there will be a large training room that can accommodate groups of up to 50 people, making it ideal not just for family play but also corporate events. The facility has a very safe environment – there won’t be any running allowed – ideal for Photo provided by Jaclyn Tyler anyone ages eight to 80, Doug Battle House is a military veteran-owned business.

family affair. Runzheimer is a member of the board, as is son Darek Huckbody, who served as a Blackhawk pilot with the Army for 14 years. Son Aaron Huckbody will work at the facility, and the remainder of the board is made up of family and friends, many with military backgrounds. “We see a real valuable training component in this,” Doug Huckbody said of using the facility for military and public service organizations. “There’s the general public that will want to come in, play some scenarios and have a good time. Others will come in and take it maybe more seriously. There’s an adrenaline rush with the games.” When it came to scouting locations, the RecPlex, adjacent to the Lake Barrington Field House, was an ideal fit, and Lake Barrington has been welcoming. Village Administrator Chris Martin said Battle House will offer an extraordinary experience in laser tag and give people a chance to get their adrenaline pumping. “Battle House is a nice addition in terms of something for entertainment,” Martin said of the facility’s location. “It fits the general concept of that area.”

IN THEIR LIFE
KIRSTEN JACOBSEN SWIMMER
PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW
Senior swimmer makes waves, breaks records arrington High School swimmer Kirsten Jacobsen has not had much of a break since shattering state records in the Illinois High School Association girls swimming finals this past November. Jacobsen has just returned from a National Club Swimming Association meet in Orlando, Fla. She medaled in three final races, placing eighth in the 200-yard freestyle, fifth in the 500-yard freestyle and fourth in the one-mile swim. She also swam a state-record one-mile time for her 16-year-old age group, qualifying for senior nationals. Barrington Suburban Life reporter Tarah Thorne asked Jacobsen more about her training schedule, outside hobbies and longterm goals.
B
Thorne: How often do you practice and compete for club? Are other Barrington High School swimmers involved? Jacobsen: I have practice six days a week, usually for about four to five hours each day. We only compete about once a month for club, unless it’s toward the end of our season. Most of the girls that swim on Varsity for BHS swim for my club as well.
Thorne: You broke the state record set in 2013 in the 200yard freestyle. As a sophomore, you have a promising swim career ahead yet. What are your goals? Jacobsen: Improving my times is always the goal when I’m going into a new season, whether it be for club or high school. I do plan on swimming in college and am starting to look at possible colleges to swim at.
Thorne: You’re a two-time state champion in the 500-yard freestyle and most recently placed first in the state for club swimming in the 100- and 500yard freestyle races. How do these sprint and distance races
challenge you differently? Do you train differently for short and long races? Jacobsen: Distance races are all about trying to go a certain pace for an extended amount of time, whereas sprint races are all about going as fast and hard as you can for a short amount of time. I mainly struggle with sprint races because I cannot move my arms and legs very fast in the water. For club, Mondays are distance days, where we focus on swimming longer distances and working on pacing for those longer distances. On Fridays, we have our sprint days, where we focus on short, fast paced workouts to help with our sprint races and relays.
Thorne: Do you have any break before high school swim starts again? What will you do in your time off? Jacobsen: My club swims

Barrington sophomore swimmer Kirsten Jacobsen drew local attention when she broke a state record in the finals of the girls swimming state meet in November. Thorne: Have you improved your race times at all while club swimming? How does the competition differ from high school swimming? Jacobsen: My competition in club is much different than high school, especially when I’m swimming at a national level meet where I could swim a best time in some events and still end up in 150th place. Not only that, but I also swim a bunch of different events such as 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke during club season. Whereas in high school season, I usually stick to the 100, 200, and 500 freestyle, and sometimes the 100 butterfly.
Thorne: Have you ever played any other sports? When did you find your passion in swimming? Jacobsen: As a kid, I tried a
bunch of different sports like gymnastics, tennis, soccer, year-round, so although we diving, swimming, volleyball have our summer season and and basketball. But I really winter season, I never really only stuck to basketball and have time off. I usually like to swimming after third grade. just relax, sleep and watch movI played travel basketball ies when I do catch a break. from about fourth grade
through eighth grade and have been swimming since I was about 6-years-old. After eighth grade, my parents told me I had to choose which sport I wanted to do and I chose swimming mostly because I didn’t really like the physical contact aspect of basketball. My passion for swimming really developed around that time because we got a new club coach, Rob Emary, so I was spending a lot more time in the pool and was becoming better and better at it.
Thorne: Any advice for younger swimmers? How have you overcame obstacles? Jacobsen: I would just say, “Have fun with it, no matter how exhausted you are from all the hard work and practices. The most important thing is that you love what you’re doing and you’re having fun with the sport and your teammates.” Staying positive has really helped me through the years, especially after a bad race or not achieving a best time. Keeping my head up has really helped me progress and
learn from mistakes.
Thorne: Any other hobbies or interests? Jacobsen: In summer, I love laying outside in the hammock or taking our canoe out on a lake by my house. I also love to read books and watch movies.
Thorne: What’s been most rewarding? Most challenging? Jacobsen: Winning the 500 free at the high school state championship my freshman year was very exciting and unexpected. Getting up at 4:45 a.m. and jumping in a cold pool can be challenging. Keeping up with school work is also a challenge. I have to manage my time.
Thorne: What are you most looking forward to this spring? Jacobsen: I have a Grand Prix meet in Mesa, Ariz. in late April that should be very exciting and will determine my summer swimming opportunities. Lots of Olympians compete at this meet. Junior nationals is in Southern California [and] will be in late July.

School board approves technology plan District says staff reduction plan unrelated to computer initiative By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – The Barrington 220 Board of Education voted 6-1 March 18 to move forward with digital learning, approving a new Apple computer lease and adopting a “one-toworld” technology initiative to facilitate global learning through personal laptops and tablets for students. The initiative is a long-term plan, with a budget to be re-determined on a year-to-year basis, Barrington 220 spokesman Jeff Arnett said. The $980,227 cost to launch this initiative is feasible within the $130 million budgeted for next school year without adversely impacting class sizes or staffing, according to officials. Board members also approved a two-part staff reduction plan March 18, which Arnett said is unrelated to the new technology plan.
If you go What: Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting When: 7 p.m. April 1 Where: Barrington High School, 616 W Main St., Barrington Info: Visit www.Barrington220.org
Arnett said board members review projected student enrollment changes for the upcoming school year each spring and this elementary staff reduction would occur regardless of budgeting the technology initiative, as elementary student enrollment has been declining. As part of the technology initiative, Barrington 220 School District will provide all 3,150 Barrington High School students with individual Macbook Air computers this fall. Middle school students in grades seven and eight will receive Netbooks to use until
the end of the 2014-15 school year, when those devices will be phased out of the district technology plan. Students in sixth grade will receive iPads. Additionally, 225 MacBook Air laptops will be supplied to high school teachers. For the 2015-16 school year, all middle school students will receive either an iPad or laptop computer, depending on how the previous year’s iPad pilot turns out at the sixth grade level, Barrington 220 School Board President Brian Battle said. In the 2016-17 school year, district officials said iPads will likely be introduced in third- through fifth-grade classrooms, while group sets of iPads will be used in kindergarten through sixth-grade classrooms. Teachers at grade levels outside of high school will receive MacBook Air laptops in the second through fourth years of the initiative, Arnett said, depending on when their students receive their respective technology. Battle said the staff reduction was state-mandated, in or-
der to give departing teachers at least 45 days notice before the end of the school year. The board likely issued a greater number non-renewal notices to staff than actual individuals that will be gone in the fall, Battle said. “We gave notice to a number of very talented teachers that we hope and anticipate will be back with us next year,” Battle said. “We also have to consider that a number of teachers will be retiring, moving or taking time off work.” An equivalent of 12 fulltime classroom elementary teachers have been given non-renewal notice for their staff contracts, Arnett said, explaining that figure does not necessarily equal 12 individual teachers since part-time staff register as half an employee in the school system. “We’ve seen a three-year trend of elementary school enrollment declining,” Arnett said. Pending board action involves approving a lease-topurchase technology option for high school students who
Sex offender arrested for child pornography SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – A Barrington man is in custody on a $3 million bond after being charged with multiple counts of child pornography as part of Operation Glass House, a statewide initiative of Attorney General Lisa Madigan launched to apprehend the most active offenders who download and trade child pornography online. Corey Olney, 34, is charged with five counts of alleged reproduction of child pornography, which is a Super X felony due to his current status as a registered sexual predator on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, according to a news release from Madigan’s office. The charge is punishable by nine to 30 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Olney also faces five counts of alleged possession of child pornography, a Class 1 felony
punishable by four to 15 years in IDOC. Additionally, for allegedly failing to register his online screen names, Olney was charged with violating the sex offender registration law, a Class 3 felony punishable by two to five years in prison. He is being held in the Lake County Jail. “The epidemic of the child pornography trade impacts every community,” Madigan said. “It is a horrific crime lurking behind closed doors in towns all across Illinois. My office will continue to be relentless in targeting the most heinous offenders who seek to destroy the lives of these young, innocent victims.” Madigan’s investigators, with the assistance of the Lake County Sheriff, Barrington Police Department and the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office, conducted a search March 20 of Olney’s residence on Old
Farm Road in the Deer Park section of Barrington, where he was arrested after evidence of alleged child pornography was located. Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim’s office will prosecute the case. “Child pornography has many victims. We will continue our work with Attorney General Madigan’s office in a joint effort to aggressively seek out and prosecute these cases,” said Nerheim, adding that this arrest represents the first time Super X charges have been filed against a suspect in Lake County. The public is reminded the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. This is the 58th arrest since Madigan launched Operation Glass House in August 2010 to investigate the most active child pornography traders in Illinois, according to the release. “Crimes against children, who cannot defend themselves
physically or emotionally, are the most disturbing crimes that we investigate,” said Lake County Undersheriff Raymond Rose. “Child pornography is a precursor to other violent crimes against children and we must be diligent in our efforts to detect, stop and arrest child pornography.” With a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Madigan’s office runs the Illinois Internet Crimes Against Children task force, which investigates child exploitation crimes and trains law enforcement agencies. Since 2006, Madigan’s ICAC task force has been involved in 710 arrests of sexual predators. The task force has also provided Internet safety training and education to nearly 333,500 parents, teachers and students and 17,193 law enforcement professionals. Currently, 182 agencies are affiliated with the Illinois ICAC.
wish to own their leased Macbook Air laptop after graduation. Battle said the decision to move forward with school technology has been made on a pricing timeline from Apple and board members will continue to talk about the leaseto-purchase plan this spring – likely offering the same option in future years for Apple products at lower grade levels. A final Barrington 220 budget will be approved in September when all students are registered and staffing requirements are more certain, Battle said. Battle said the district’s $250 expenditure per high school laptop is less than 2 percent of the $14,000 the school district spends on each student’s education per year. “That 2 percent has the potential to change how we deliver education,” Battle said. “The board identified technology as a priority early-on in the budget review process. It’s an integral part of our district and will continue to open up innovative learning at all grade levels.”

Networking 101: Not just for job seekers About six years ago, I quit my job. I’d like to say it was planned, but the decision was rather abrupt, and the timing couldn’t have been worse. I resigned in December 2008, and I was about to start job searching during the first quarter of 2009, one of the highest periods of unemployment in decades – and I’m a recruiter. My mistake: During my YOUR career, I developed very good CAREER professional relationships. I Jennifer worked very hard to personHarris ally connect with co-workers as well as clients. But what I failed to do was build a network outside of that organization – a network of peers and contacts in other industries and professions. Once I was no longer employed, I realized I knew about three people who weren’t connected to my previous employer. Pay it forward: The true value of networking comes from a belief in paying it forward. It’s difficult and awkward to ask a total stranger for help. Some people avoid those who are unemployed because they are afraid they are going to ask them for something. But take a different path, and offer your help first. We all have some type of expertise or talent that can be offered or shared. Take a genuine interest in those you meet, and ask how you can help them. What you gain is a great group of new people in your professional life. Right time, right place: If you are unemployed, job search groups are the most logical places to start. There is a lot of camaraderie in being with people who are experiencing the same situation. Trade associations and professional groups are also a great place to meet the movers and shakers in your industry. If you’re in sales, go to an IT function. If you’re an accountant, go to a manufacturing seminar. It takes some guts, but you’ll be the only one in the room with your certain expertise. And don’t try to meet everyone in the room. Two or three meaningful conversations, where business cards are exchanged or a next meeting is planned, has more value than shaking every hand. The goal is not the quantity of your relationships but the quality. As the job market evolves, it is clear that retiring from your first employer will be the exception. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average worker stays in a job for 4.4 years. If you plan to work 30 or more years, that’s seven to eight jobs, and most likely not at the same company. It is crucial that your professional contacts not be limited to those with whom you work. Your network, like your skills, need to be portable. And yes, you really can take it with you.

The Barrington Area Conservation Trust encourages Barrington area residents to plant at least one oak tree in their yards.
Trust urges residents to plant oak trees SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – In 1985, .02 percent of the open oak savanna woodlands that once covered 27 to 32 million acres of land in the Midwest remained in tact. Research conducted by McHenry County Conservation District in 2005 showed that oak woodlands had declined by 87 percent in less than 200 years, while a regional study conducted by The Morton Arboretum for Chicago Wilderness documented “a significant change in forest structure, including a loss of mid-size oaks” in 2010. By spring 2012, Chicago Wilderness, supported by a grant from the US Forest Service Northeastern Area State & Private Forestry, initiated the Oak Recovery Program to document the Chicago region’s oak ecosystems and develop a comprehensive plan to hasten the return of oaks to the region. The Oak Recovery Program also provided funding for the Barrington Area Conservation Trust to purchase and distribute 50 bur and 50 red oak trees to private landowners, and an oak woodland restoration site in Barrington Hills. Through its Conservation@Home program, BACT staff is encouraging as many people as possible to plant at least one oak tree in their yard to provide future habitat. The BACT’s Great Oaks of Barrington contest challenges people from the Barrington Area Council of Governments region to enter oak trees in

a contest where the trees are judged for age, health, location, form, classic beauty, and personal stories. BACT’s executive director Lisa Woolford said the contest is “a great way to recognize what people are doing to preserve native oaks for generations.” Experts from The Care of Trees, a Davey Company along with BACT naturalists will visit and judge each tree. “We are inspired not only by the trees people have in their yards, but the care they provide to keep them healthy,” said Woolford, noting the oaks she has seen that are surrounded by native wildflowers rather than mud and turf. “Oak woodlands have adapted over the past 10,000 years without the help for mowers or herbicides,” Woolford said. “Plus, oak trees provide oxygen, absorb and filter runoff, and give much needed food and shelter for plants and animals. It would be tragic for our great grandchildren to miss the beauty of an oak, but this doesn’t have to happen if we do something now.”

The newly-pinned firefighters then took the oath of service.
“Every firefighter performs an act of bravery once in his career. That is when he takes the oath of service,” Swanson said, quoting the New York City Fire Department’s deputy chief of rescue operations, Raymond Downey, who was lost on 9/11. “After
that, everything is in the line of duty.” Swanson also thanked the neighboring Fox River Grove Fire Protection District, Hoffman Estates Fire Department, Lake Zurich Rural Fire Protection District and Wauconda Fire District for
providing emergency response coverage to the BCFPD during the 45-minute ceremony so its on-duty personnel could attend. The district’s services are part of a series of automatic aid agreements with the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District, Buffalo Grove Fire Department, Carpentersville Fire Department, Cary Fire Protection District, East Dundee Fire Protection District, Fox River Grove Fire Protection District, Lake Zurich Rural Fire Protection District, Long Grove Fire Protection District, Palatine Rural Fire Protection District and Wauconda Fire District.

Dave & Buster’s may attract crowds to mall If you go
By JESSE CARPENDER editorial@lakecountysuburbanlife.com VERNON HILLS – Lake County residents Doneshia Brock and Ren Brusenbach were training to be hostesses March 20 at the new Dave & Buster’s in Vernon Hills’ Westfield Mall. After playing an air hockey game with Brusenbach, Brock, of Waukegan, said, “It’s always great to work close to home. You get to have fun at work here – it’s the best job.” Dave & Buster’s is an entertainment destination with the tagline, “Eat, Drink, Play and Watch Sports.” Brock and Brusenbach are among 300 new hires at the new Dave & Buster’s location. Mike Runyan, assistant general manager, said a “fair amount” of the new hires are Lake County residents. “It’s a struggle for people to find jobs in this area,” Runyan said. “We’ve seen a lot of tears [during the hiring process] and it’s been an emotional experience.” Vernon Hills’ Dave & Buster’s will hold its grand opening for the public 11 a.m. on March 26 in Vernon Hills’ Westfield Hawthorn Mall, featuring half priced games.
• ONLINE Continued from page 4 was the intimidation factor of a real person standing there, someone larger than them that they didn’t know,” Day said, sitting in Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center in Gurnee, where children are interviewed by investigators to gather evidence of sexual abuse. “When a child is in their living room or bedroom on a computer, there’s the illusion of safety that there’s some barrier between them and this person,” he said. “But, in fact, it’s much more intimate and much more private. “The person on the other end understands that the child is likely sitting alone in front of a computer screen, and they start asking things that the child may not be prepared to deal with, and so what is perceived as a much more safe encounter by
What: Dave & Buster’s Where: 424 Hawthorn Center, Vernon Hills Hours: 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday Info: 847-549-2118
In advance of the grand opening, Dave & Buster’s will present a $2,500 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County at an official ribbon cutting ceremony March 23, in support of their programming which focuses on inspiring young people to reach their full potential. More than 300 Lake County kids are expected to attend. General manager Phil Shabat of Gurnee managed Rainforest Café in Gurnee
Mills before starting at Dave & Buster’s two years ago. The 40,000-square-foot location replaced seven stores in the mall, Shabat said. Vernon Hills will be the Texas-based company’s 68th location since 1982. Mall entrances will include one exterior entrance and two indoor entrances on both levels of the mall, Shabat said. This Dave & Buster’s location features the newest model of “The Win,” where customers can redeem game
tickets for more than 350 prizes including iPads, Xboxes and PlayStation 4s. The facility features a dining area that seats 200, four private party rooms and board rooms. Local organizations have already booked the private rooms. The Vernon Hills Park District has booked its holiday party, said special event manager Amy Lawhorn. The menu is consistent with other locations, with chef-crafted menu items in-
cluding The South Philly Burger, Fire-Grilled Salmon, Bistro Steak & Shrimp with Lobster Alfredo, Mountain of Nachos and Black Jack BBQ Ribs & Wings. Shabat said this Dave & Buster’s reflects the company’s new goal to be the first choice for sports viewing, and their 275-seat, 360-degree Game Bar features 17 televisions. Dave’s Arcade has 150 games, from updated classics like Donkey Kong to app games like Fruit Ninja and Doodle Jump. “We’re excited to bring the fun to Vernon Hills sports fans, foodies, gamers, families and young adults alike – there is something for everyone at D&B,” Shabat said. “This is a lively community where many folks call home and we are looking forward to meeting our new neighbors.”
parents and child is much more dangerous, and much more manipulative.” Children’s Advocacy Center Director Laura Notson said many teens who post sexual photos of themselves online or share them with strangers don’t view themselves as victims. Many believe they are in a serious relationship when they share the photos with an adult offender, Notson said. “[Many teens] don’t perceive the disparity in age, maturity and sophistication and how that’s a crime and how that’s wrong,” Day said. “That can be a difficult situation for a young person – when a 13- or 14-year old is in a relationship with a 35-year old.” It’s difficult for kids to navigate being a victim, what school will say, getting in trouble, and their feelings for this person and that’s why it’s so wrong to put kids in that situation – they aren’t equipped to deal with it.”
Notson said a lot of kids don’t realize the photos are difficult if not impossible to erase once posted. “In many of our cases, teens who felt they were in a relationship 10 years ago have since come back and said now they do perceive that differently and are thankful for our services,” Notson said. Offenders of crimes involving child pornography are usually caught when a relative stumbles upon the pornography, or a law enforcement agency is notified by activity on Google, Yahoo or Tumblr, Day said. “When [websites] detect an upload of images identified as child porn, a local authority is notified and we can track down the IP address of where those things come from,” Day said. Special investigator James Magna said when it comes to collecting evidence, investigators use sophisticated technology, including a CellBrite machine,
which can scan a device’s content without plugging in. The most important aspect of collecting a suspect’s digital content is that investigators are able to use tamper-proof methods, he said. “It’s similar to packaging a bloody knife and having it examined by a DNA expert,” he said. “It’s the same thing with a phone, you get training and are certified to examine phones.” Day said programs are write-blocked so they can pull information without altering evidence. “If something’s not preserved in the phone, we have to contact the company that stores the data,” Magna said. “Companies that care about cooperating with law enforcement will keep the data for a long time, but others will keep it for only three days.” Parents can look for red flags based on evidence observed by officials in child pornography
cases, Day said. “If [a message] ever says, ‘Don’t tell anyone about this,’ that’s a red flag. If [an offender] asks for personal identifying information, physical features, age, who they talk to or have told, anything sexual whatsoever … We’re not trying to make people paranoid, but these are things we see. These are what offenders ask.” Notson recommends parents begin the conversation of online safety with children as young as 3. Day agreed. “My answer for parents is that it can be uncomfortable, but they need to talk to their kids, watch them and always have a dialogue about what’s going on in their life, who they’re talking to and who they’re in a relationship with,” Day said. “We hope this never happens to any kid, but the best thing for us is when a parent has a direct line of communication with their child.”

Take a trip to a more refined era at Chessie’s BARRINGTON – In the 1962 thriller “The Manchurian Candidate,” Frank Sinatra’s character meets a mysterious Janet Leigh aboard a train and shares a bizarre conversation in the train’s dining car. You won’t meet Ol’ Blue Eyes or Leigh at Chessie’s in Barrington, but you can still get a taste of that era in the restaurant’s classic old-school dining car. From the outside, Chessie’s looks much like any other nice restaurant, but the dining car interior really sets it apart. I arrived with a dining companion for a slightly early dinner on a recent Saturday. It was fortunate that we were early, because we didn’t have reservations, and by the time we were finishing up the restaurant was just about at capacity. So if you’re planning to make a trip to Chessie’s, a reservation is definitely a good idea. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by the restaurant’s signature dining car. Off to the left there was a more standard dining room, but we were ushered into the dining car without having to ask. I’m sure our intent stares were enough of a signal as to where we wanted to be seated. The wood-paneled interior, with plush seats and elegant lighting fixtures, was a far cry from the cafeteria-style dining cars you see on today’s trains. Only the lack of movement disrupts the illusion that you’ve settled in for a meal on a mid-20th century transcontinental dining experience. We soon ordered for the coconut shrimp appetizer, which included four goodsized, moderately breaded shrimp and a delightful apricot sauce. The sauce is really the key to the dish, immediately sweet but with a sneaky tanginess, almost spicy as you take a second and third bite. Since it was a Saturday, the slow-cooked prime rib was available, so I decided I couldn’t pass it up. My dining

Preceded by a house salad and accompanied by a baked potato, my meal was the epitome of American cuisine, served with au jus and the optional horseradish sauce
for dipping. My companion was just as pleased with the salmon, polishing it off with evident pleasure. Chessie’s also has an extensive sandwich menu if you stop by for lunch, with a burger, a Reuben, a grilled crab and plenty of other options to fit between two slices of bread. There are also a number of salads fit for a meal, including the ever-popular cobb and chopped salads.
We were on the fence about dessert, but upon seeing the options our willpower melted. I went for the chocolate mousse tower, while my companion selected the combo of molten lava cake and crème brûlée. I, frankly, hardly noticed what my companion thought of dessert, because the mousse tower was amazing. A hard chocolate cylinder filled with thick, creamy mousse,
didn’t have enough room in my stomach to finish it. Next time, I’ll eat half and take the other half home. Who knows, I might make my next trip to Chessie’s just for the dessert.

Winter weather halts spring sports By ANDY SCHMIDT Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – It hasn’t been a kind winter to anyone in the Midwest. The bad weather along with the cold and snow has caused Barrington’s teams to make adjustments to how their seasons are going to start or continue. There are games that have already been canceled or postponed, and more cold weather is on tap. Those postponements are going to continue in all likelihood. Athletic Director Michael Obsuszt said changes will be made as needed. “Like most other schools, we will look forward to the warm-weather days ahead. We will do our best to reschedule
any cancellations,” Obsuszt said. “Those decisions will be based on facility availability and the coach’s interest in rescheduling based on their schedule. A coach may feel that a practice or two is in the best interest of their program as compared to a week full of games.” The softball team’s Spring Fling Tournament was canceled, and the team will now open its season at noon Friday inside The Dome at Rosemont against Stevenson. The teams are also scheduled to meet the following day again in Barrington, but the weather will have a lot to say about that. The baseball team was scheduled to start its season Tuesday on the road against
Glenbrook South and then play the next day against St. Charles East, but those games were canceled. The Glenbrook South game was played Wednesday in Jacksonville, where the Broncos were going anyway to play over Spring Break. There will also be a doubleheader Thursday that involves playing DundeeCrown at 10 a.m. in Jacksonville and then traveling to Springfield the same day for a 4:30 p.m. game against Sacred Heart-Griffin. Coach Pat Wire said his team will be ready when they do get on the field after winning the Mid-Suburban League West for the first time since 2009 last season. “We deal with the adversity
that all indoor teams are dealing with. We focus on our fundamentals while inside. While doing so, we try to remain competitive by playing simulated games during practice. We will be ready when the weather breaks,” Wire said. “I believe the weather will not hurt this team for several reasons. We have a focused group who wants to build on the success we had last year and our team is deep with talent. We have a roster of 34 players. We will have plenty of pitching if games get backed up. It helped us last year with the terrible spring as well.” Girls soccer won’t be too impacted by the weather because they play on the turf inside the football stadium. The team was able to get in
two games last week on the road against two of the best teams in the state and with no games scheduled until April 1, the turf should be clear and ready to go for the team’s next game. Fillies coach Ryan Stengren said he would prefer that his teams play every game on their schedule and not have to postpone anything because of the weather. “The best thing going for us is that we are on turf,” Stengren said. “It’s important we get these games in. We have a lot of unproven players on our roster. I think we have seven varsity kids who had never played a varsity soccer game which is great for the future of the program but for now, it leaves a lot of question marks.”
Middle schooler is ski jumping champion By STEPHANIE KOHL editorial@lakecountysuburbanlife.com LAKE BARRINGTON – Now that women’s ski jumping is an Olympic sport, a 13-year-old Lake Barrington resident has a new goal. Barrington Middle School-Prairie student Cara Larson recently won the Junior National Ski Jumping Competition in Anchorage, Alaska, competing against other young women younger than 18. “It was really fun,” she said of the competition. “There were moose everywhere. We got really close. And the jumps were fabulous.” Although this was her first time competing in the event, it was not her first time attending it. About five years ago, her brother Casey Larson, 15, started competing. He also competed this year, earning seventh place competing against boys younger than 18. On the men’s side, the top 10 finishers were all within two meters of each other. The siblings, who come from a big skiing family, became interested in ski jumping when a babysitter would talk about his family’s experience with jumping. Casey Larson started jumping first, and as the fami-

Thirteen-year-old Lake Barrington resident Cara Larson became involved in skiing when she was 5 years old. “You’re basically flying, and it’s a really cool thing to do,” Larson said. ly traveled from competition to competition, Cara Larson decided she wanted to give it a try as well. She’s been jumping since she was 5-years-old. “Each jump has a completely different feel to it,” Cara Larson said. “You’re basically flying and it’s a really cool thing to do.” Throughout the years, Cara Larson has progressed from practice-sized jumps to 70-meter jumps. In the Olympics, jumpers use 90- and 120-meter jumps. “I watched all of it,” Cara
Larson said of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. “It was really cool and a lot of the girls, they probably don’t remember me, but I know all of them.” Because the world of ski jumping is so small, Cara Larson had previously met many of the Olympic athletes that recently competed, and she was cheering for Lindsey Van this year. “She was the heart of the team,” Cara Larson said. “She really helped get ski jumping into the Olympics.”
Cara and Casey Larson train year round, practicing about six or seven hours every week during the season and using the summer for conditioning. Cara Larson also runs cross country and plays soccer, while Casey Larson runs cross country and plays lacrosse. Cara Larson plans to compete in the Junior National Ski Jumping Competition for a couple more years, with the goal of competing in the Junior Worlds Competition after that and then making the 2018 Winter Olympic Team. “Ski jumping is what I want to do in life and the Olympics is the last part of that,” she said. “That’s your success.” She knows practice is what it will take, and lots of it. “I don’t want to be like every other person, I want to be better,” she said. “I still fall. People that are the best still fall. It’s just a matter of getting up and doing it again.” Even though Casey Larson had his competition to focus on this year as well, he said it was really cool to watch his sister compete and do so well, acknowledging that this has been her “breakthrough winter.” “I was so pumped to see her do so good,” he said. An accomplished ski jump-
er himself, Casey Larson has placed in the top 10 every time he has competed in the Junior Nationals. His best performance though was at the Nationals competition in summer 2013, where he placed 15th in the nation among men of all ages. “That was definitely one of my best competitions of my life,” he said. “It was pretty cool. It was exciting. I was pumped. … Competing is the place where you can really prove yourself. You know what’s on the line.” Casey Larson also has his sights set on the 2018 Winter Olympics, though he did acknowledge since ski jumpers can compete in their sport well into their 30s, he has some time. The Barrington High School freshman wants to see where the next few years take him. “I’m always thinking about ski jumping,” he said. “That’s my main sport.” And what is it like for a mother to watch her children skiing down a ramp at speeds of 45 mph or faster? “The first time they go to a bigger jump, it is scary,” said Meg Larson, adding coaches won’t send them off a jump they aren’t ready for. “But, it’s exciting. It’s really exciting to watch them really excel.”
