BARRINGTON – Shortly after James Ensign’s 2nd birthday, his mother, Anna Ensign, noticed James wasn’t acting like himself.

James had lost his appetite and didn’t want to play outside.

Then, James’ father, Thomas Ensign, noticed two pea-sized lumps on the toddler’s head.

Soon the Barrington family took James to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital.

With a white blood cell count of 74,000 – the normal range for someone James’ age being five to 13 – 2-year-old James was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Within the first 24 hours of his diagnosis, James had his first chemotherapy treatment and had a surgery to put a device in his chest to get medicine into his system directly.

James reacted well, and within four to six weeks they got him into remission. He took his last oral chemotherapy medication in January 2009. James has been in remission for almost eight years.

“He never had another relapse in the course of his treatment or after his treatment,” Anna Ensign said. “Now we refer to James as a cancer survivor.”

Today, the 10-year-old is thriving. On May 3, he’ll serve as an ambassador at the Makea-Wish Wish Ball Gala at Soldier Field. His wish was to skate with the Chicago Blackhawks, which was granted in April 2013.

James got to meet the entire team, including his favorite player, Captain Serious, Jonathan Toews. His brothers also were invited into the locker

“My favorite part was skating with them and scoring on Corey Crawford,” James said.

As an ambassador, James will mingle with guests and share his memory book from his wish experience. “[Our Wish Ambassadors] really make it real for our guests,” said Jessica Miller, communications manager for Make-a-Wish Illinois. “They give our mission a face, and donors see the true impact of what their giving can do.”

when the family took James to the doctor. The doctor ran tests and promised her a call the next day.

The call came two hours later.

“Even before I answered the phone I knew,” Anna Ensign said. “I said to myself, ‘They don’t ever call within two hours with good news.’ ” The Ensigns said they look forward to sharing their story to help other families at the upcoming gala event.

Since its founding in 1985, Make-a-Wish Illinois has granted 39 wishes in the 60010 area.

“We’re incredibly thankful for the Make-a-Wish Foundation,” Anna Ensign said. “Not just for what they’ve done for James but all the children.

There are moments where I’m just sort of left speechless over what they do for sick children and their families.”

Student performances are top entertainment for senior lunch group

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – In light of Earth Day, Prairie Middle School students presented Barrington area seniors with a Lunch on the Prairie on April 22. Brunch and entertainment brought smiles to many who have been attending the annual event since it began in 1997.

About 20 seniors registered for the free event sponsored by the school’s student council. The outing was arranged as part of the Barrington Area Council on Aging’s monthly Cuisine Club, which usually meets at community restaurants. BACOA volunteer coordinator Kitti Quarfoot said all BACOA activities draw a diverse crowd with some participants as young as 50.

“It’s a nice way for residents to be able to enjoy themselves if they otherwise don’t get out much,” Quarfoot said.

Mary Smith and June Dettman of Lake Barrington said they have attended the brunch several times.

Smith said it’s great to be out and around the kids.

“I’m amazed by the student performances every single year,” Dettman added.

Attendees were seated in the school’s library media center with a menu selection of sandwiches and side dishes.

Ticket Price:

If you go WHAT: Bacoa Cuisine Club When: Noon May 20 Where: ZaZa’s Tavola Italiana, 5047 Shoreline Road, Lake Barrington Cost: $22, includes soft drinks, tea or coffee and gratuity Info: Seniors meet for lunch weekly at area restaurants, giving diners the chance to sample local cuisine and visit with friends.

Several student council volunteers took orders.

The event kicked off with the Prairie Middle School IMEA Orchestra Ensemble performing many pieces by Johann Bach. This six-person orchestra was chosen through formal fall auditions, according to music director Michael Nelson.

Nelson said the group began rehearsing for the BACOA event in January.

Student Council co-director Diana Horrigan said “Lunch on the Prairie” was the student council’s “last big event of the year.”

The students also heard from Jessica Gianopulos, a fifth-grade student at Countryside who has Down syndrome.

Jessica Gianopulos shared all of the things she likes to do, just like the other students, as well as her feelings and her dreams.

Countryside Cares 5k and Fun Run When: 2 to 4 p.m. Friday Where: Countryside School, 205 W. County Line Road, Barrington Cost: Registration for both the 5k and 1-mile races is $10. Concessions will be available for sale.

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital staff is encouraging families to adopt healthier lifestyles for the sake of children.

Children leading sedentary lifestyles continues to contribute to increased obesity. Hours of television or video games replaces time that could be spent moving around, but new research shows active video games could help children lose weight.

A recent study in JAMA Pediatrics found children who play active video games could lose unwanted pounds when the games are used in conjunction with a weight management program.

The study looked at 75 overweight or obese children and found those assigned

involved in physical activity together, but my preference really is eventually getting the kids outside,” Beckerman said. “However, with the winter we have had, getting outside has been tough.”

Nearly one of every three American children is overweight or obese and children between ages 6 and 19 should get one hour of moderate to vigorous activity most days, according to the hospital.

Beckerman said about twothirds of children do not meet these standards; one-quarter of adolescents.

“Our overall goal is to first get kids moving,” he said.

“These active games give obese children another avenue of activity and can help obese children get past the stigma they encounter trying to play team sports where they might not feel accepted or comfortable participating.”

Barrington pediatrician Dr. John Beckerman of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital said “the latest and greatest video games that require players to move their whole body are an appealing way to promote exercise among overweight and obese children.”

The study found that active players lost about twice as much weight as those on a weight management program alone.

PALATINE – The Wellness Place announced the retirement of executive director Pam Reiss.

A new executive director is expected to be serving my mid-summer, according to chairperson elect Cathy Schulze.

Reiss said it’s been an honor to serve for such a worthy cause.

services and placed high focus on the vital nature of our counseling,” Reiss said. “I will miss the dedicated staff, volunteers, participants and supporters.”

Wellness Place programs and services help participants to manage the emotional and physical responses to cancer treatment, to sort through the options and side effects of such treatment, to communicate matters to family members and employers, and to formulate questions for doctors.

Specialized services are available for young children and teens. The main Wellness Place is located at 1619 W. Colonial Parkway in Palatine.

Massive migrations to Mexico are a thing of the past, and populations are so small you may have seen only one or two individuals last summer. Property owners and gardeners must act now to support and sustain this beautiful and useful species.

Homeowners can do it.

The butterfly is disapCOMMUNITY pearing because monarchs VOICE need milkweed to procreMeredith ate. Because agro-chemical Tucker companies have promoted “Round-Up Ready” corn and soybeans, farmers drench fields with the herbicide. As a result, the milkweed plants that formerly lined farm roads, grew between the crop rows and inhabited fencerows no longer exist.

Round-Up has killed them all, but the GMO crops thrive.

Additionally, when transportation departments mow roadways, when development covers old fields with impervious surfaces, and when gardeners remove all “weeds” and non-lawn plants, milkweed disappears. Monarch butterflies and other specialized creatures disappear along with this host plant.

Although monarchs can nectar on many species of blooming plants, they use only milkweed to procreate. Milkweed is the monarch’s host plant. When the butterflies’ eggs hatch, the larvae eat only milkweed. If the female cannot find a milkweed on which to lay her eggs, she lays them on another plant, but the larvae hatch and starve. Most milkweeds want full sun.

The monarch’s favorite species is Asclepias incarnata, marsh or red milkweed, a beautiful pink-flowered plant. Its next favorite species is A. syriaca, common milkweed. The plant can be weedy but if you have some space, please try it. If you have it, let it grow and bloom. It smells heavenly. A. tuberosa is the bright orange butterfly weed. Monarchs and people love it.

Less common native species include both tall and short green milkweed (Asclepias hirtella and A. viridiflora), prairie milkweed (A. sullivantii), and whorled milkweed (A. verticillata).

The last one can be invasive, so don’t plant it in small gardens.

Buy several plants of a single species and plant them together. Butterflies can more easily find a grouping of similar plants than a single specimen. Install the plants about one foot apart.

Finally, don’t buy cultivars! Purchase only plants with the two Latin names per species given above. A third (often English) name indicates a hybridized variety which may lack the attributes the monarchs need to thrive.

The awards were given to students whose independently written creative stories have been chosen to be published in a school book that will be distributed to parents. The students were in charge of revising and editing their own work.

District art teacher Tom Root did the illustrations for each entry.

Sixty-three Barrington High School students have been honored with the President’s Volunteer Service award this year. Fifty-three of those students received a bronze award; 9 silver; and one student, Jessica Davis, received the highest gold honor, according to the Barrington 220 School District. Students are identified for this award based on completing 100 or more hours of voluntary community service within a year. These students will receive a pin and certificate by mail from President Barack Obama.

8SOUND OFF Local, state and federal governments increase taxes to subsidize extended welfare and unemployment benefits. Why isn’t there a program like what President Franklin Roosevelt instituted? The W.P.A. put people back to work instead of the government paying more for people who don’t work. Numerous jobs could be created to give individuals and our government the pride of contributing versus collecting more and more from those who do work. America should stop playing Daddy Warbucks to those throughout the world that may be in need.

Doesn’t our country deserve the same respect that we tried to gain throughout the world within the United States? Thank you. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

Tax on texting?

I was just sitting here thinking that since Gov. Pat Quinn is so tax-happy and adding taxes onto everything else, if he really wanted to do something constructive, he should tax the people texting. That would be a fantastic thing for him to create some stupid revenue for what he is trying to do.

Springfield is wrong on tax changes There is a progressive push to hit Illinois taxpayers with a new income tax scheme involving elimination of the flat tax and embracing a new method of getting more and more tax revenues for Springfield politicians to squander. It is a sad state of affairs when the same elected officials who gave us a “temporary” 67 percent tax increase now tell us the increase will likely be permanent (shocking).

Now they have to plot out new ways to get more money from taxpayers using deceiving labels like a “Fair Tax.” What this state should be doing is reducing the flat income tax rate and corporate tax rate for that matter to encourage residents and business to invest and prosper in Illinois. Instead, the same power brokers that run

this one-party state encourage thoughtful taxpaying citizens to vote with their feet and leave Illinois. Illinois is going broke – pension time bombs, unpaid bills, residents and businesses leaving – and Springfield just keeps looking for more revenue. As the so-called “Fair Tax” push gets launched, it has never been more obvious that Illinois is indeed in a sad state of affairs.

Be careful with GM As a car lover and gear head, which I am, I was very disappointed when General Motors went broke because of poor quality. The poor quality was kind of caused by the company and the union producing the quality. The poor quality has now killed 12 people, and government motors is under investigation by Congress. In addition, the poor quality has continued. They just had a recall of 7 million cars. They have absolutely demonstrated an inability to produce safe vehicles. I would suggest refraining from buying all GM cars for the foreseeable future. This is from a car guy in a car family.

Hopefully, you’ll go along with that and be safe.

Lambert: The Affordable

would be a great place to raise a family. We enjoy the natural beauty of the area and have made very good friends in the community.

Care Act’s goal is to improve access to high quality care for more Americans and to make health care more affordable.

Traditional reimbursement on a fee for service basis is being replaced for reimbursement for value. We have already seen this change with Medicare-where reimbursement is higher or lower depending on patient satisfaction scores and quality metrics. Providing the safest and highest quality care to our patients will continue to be our focus.

Thorne: When did you begin your position at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital? What previous health care experience did you bring with you?

Lambert: I started at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital as the vice president of operations in March 2000 and was named president in May 2001. Before that I spent 15 years in various management capacities at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

I feel blessed to work for a hospital system such as Advocate, where they put patients first and lead with their mission. In fact, Advocate Health Care has repeatedly been ranked as one of the top employers in the area and was recently named a top 5 health system.

Thorne: Please describe a day in your shoes.

Lambert: What I enjoy most about my job is that every day can be different. Every day, seven days a week, we start with a safety huddle with leaders from every part of hospital. We review any challenges, real or potential, during the past 24 hours and look ahead for the day. Our goal is to create the safest and best place for patients to heal, physicians to practice and associates to work. I follow that mantra every day as I attend many meetings to review clinical and service metrics and to plan for the future.

Lambert: During the nearly 15 years I have been at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, I have seen the clinical care and outcomes greatly improve, allowing our residents to have high quality healthcare right in their local community.

Over the past several years, we have increased our clinical offerings to include an open heart program, stroke program and increasing the many clinical options for our oncology services. We continue to work hard to improve care each and every day.

We are grateful for our recent Magnet designation which recognizes the hospital and our talented associates and physicians for providing high quality healthcare to our community.

pus modernization project will be complete in 2017, but the hospital will remain open and completely functional during the entire project.

The very first area to be finished first is our new diagnostic testing center. What this means for our patients is easy access: patients can sit in one department and have all the clinicians come to them instead of visiting up to three or four areas of the hospital.

In working closely with our physicians and associates, we have been able to truly create the operating room of the future with enhanced technology and space. We will have eight brand new operating rooms with advanced imaging equipment. The project also includes a new 18 bed Intensive Care Unit.

Once the project is completed, we will have state-of-the-art private rooms

These large private rooms feature a family area which allow family members to stay the night. The new rooms will also include smart room technology – bringing all documentation (patient information/care) to the bedside which will give nurses and physicians more time in the room with the patient.

The project also modernizes many other clinical services such as radiology co-locating all imaging services, endoscopy and therapies. Many areas of infrastructure will be modernized including an expanded dining area, volunteer department, and lobby to name just a few.

The modernization project is built for long-term durability of infrastructure and systems including upgrading systems covering the current and new buildings, renovating and relocating current services, limiting redundancy and improving energy efficiency using LEED guidelines.

Restaurant reviews

A great meal is lurkin’ at Firkin in Libertyville LIBERTYVILLE – There was a slight wait for a table on a Friday night at Firkin; my date and I enjoyed passing the time as we watched the chefs prepare orders from the open kitchen and perused a long list of local craft brews.

The name Firkin is a good time in itself. A firkin is a small barrel of beer that is one-fourth the size of a regular barrel. There were no firkins in sight, but sights were plenty. The lengthy restaurant is decked out in balloons and holiday lights all year round.

Flags and paper lanterns hang from the ceiling.

Upon sitting, our waiter offered drink samples and took our order for an appetizer – baked escargot in garlic butter. My date picked the starter and was hesitant to explain what escargot meant.

This was my first time eating snails, and I can only hope my next time will be as satisfactory as Firkin. The dish was not slimy at all. The snails were served individually in a generous portion of garlic butter. Our bread came with a lentil and olive oil spread that was hummus-like.

The dish was devoured in minutes.

Other appetizers caught my eye, such as the mini lobster taco trio and duck nachos, but we decided to save room for dinner. My date ordered a half slab of barbecue baby back ribs served with sliced roasted garlic potatoes and Asian style cole slaw. I went with a seasonal special – cilantro lime mahi-mahi accompanied with mango relish, char-grilled pineapple and vegetables.

Awaiting our order, we took in the atmosphere. Covered wall to wall in old brick, Firkin could be classified as gastropub. The crowd was loud and fun; groups of friends gathering for a modest night out. Yet, the food selection is unparalleled. This was not your typical burger or fish fry joint – but it’s on the menu if you want it.

Baked Escargot in Garlic Butter is one of many hot appetizers on the Firkin dining menu. Six perfectly cooked snails are paired with warm bread and a homemade lentil spread.

Conservation volunteers clean Pederson Preserve, celebrate Earth Week

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Local Earth Day volunteers helped the Barrington Area Conservation Trust install plants, clean up Flint Creek litter and restore nature April 22 in celebration of Earth Week at Pederson Preserve, at the corner of Hart and Lake Cook roads, across from Barrington High School.

Those present honored historic oaks and cultivated native vegetation for future generations. This was a public event.

Last year, Barrington High School students and teachers installed over 300 native plants. This year’s goal was to plant over 700 wildflowers and grasses. It was sunny and nearly 60 degrees. One hundred free oak tree saplings were sent home for residents to plant on their own time.

Since 2011, BACT staff and volunteers have worked the 5.6-acre site to provide food and shelter for wildlife, reduce erosion, facilitate filtration, improve water Photos byJeff Krage - For Shaw Media quality and contribute to the Barrington High School senior Patrick Sweeney moves dirt on Earth Day, April 22, at Pederson Preserve.

LIBERTYVILLE – Professional tree climbers competed for the title of best climber in the Illinois Arborist Association annual tree climbing competition.

The April 26 event at Independence Grove showcased the skills of 30 competitors as they maneuvered in the trees.

Climbers performed five different preliminary events.

Each event tested a competitor’s ability to quickly, professionally and safely maneuver in a tree while performing work-related, tree-care tasks.

Tree climbing competitions are designed to simulate working conditions of those arborists who work in the

field. Utilizing the highest level of professional skills and safety, the events provide a competitive learning environment for those working in the industry.

David Meurer won in the men’s division and Alex Julius won in the women’s division. Both will represent Illinois at the International Tree Climbing Championships in August in Milwaukee, Wis. Davey Tree Expert Company and Kramer Tree Specialists, Inc. sponsored the event and ArborMaster donated prizes.

‘Golden’ inning gives Barrington baseball big win vs. Wheeling

By ANDY SCHMIDT Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – As the top of the eighth inning began Friday night, a lonely goose showed up in right field at Wheeling. After the goose arrived, Barrington High School’s baseball team found their golden egg with an eight-run inning to win 12-4 in Mid-Suburban League action.

However, it looked early on that the Barrington Broncos wouldn’t need any extra innings after a solid first inning.

Mitch Pfeiffer led off with a single and scored on a double from Jake Petersen. Jake Coon added an RBI to give Barrington a 2-0 lead. After an error, Anthony Lombardi grounded into a fielder’s choice to score Coon. He would score when the team pulled off a double steal with Daniel Kubiuk heading to second as Lombardi stole home.

That gave Barrington a 4-0 lead after the top of the first, and it appeared that it would be enough with Brad Powell pitching.

Powell shut down Wheeling for the first four innings but couldn’t hold them any longer in the fifth when the Wildcats scored three runs. Wheeling would add another run in the sixth to force extra innings.

That’s when the goose suddenly appeared along with the Barrington offense again. Petersen led off with a single followed by a single from Coon. A bunt moved the two into scoring position, and Lombardi followed with a loop single into right field to give Barrington a 6-4 lead. Kubiuk then added a long double to score Lombardi and the rout was on.

Coon finished the scoring with a two-run double into left-center field for his fifth hit

of the game to give Barrington the 12-4 advantage before Jack Covek came in to finish the game in the bottom of the inning.

Coon said that he had been working hard before games to break out of a slump he has been having.

“I’ve been struggling a little bit, and the last game we wereable to work on it a little and then yesterday at practice, I was able to work with the hitting coach,” Coon said. “We worked on staying on top of the ball and it worked today.”

Pfeiffer added three hits on his own and added an amazing sliding catch in center field that would have been worthy of many highlight reels while Petersen finished with four hits and three runs scored.

Barrington coach Pat Wire said it was definitely a topsy-turvy sort of game.

“I think it was a matter of us finally deciding we were going to find the ball to hit,” Wire said. “It’s crazy. One moment I’m ready to choke my guys, and the next moment I’m blown away with elated emotion with how they fought.”

With the way the Broncos played in the eighth inning, it may be time for the goose to become an honorary mascot.

“I think we may go get that thing a Barrington sweatshirt,” Wire said.

The power of the goose continued Saturday as the Broncos shutout New Trier 4-0 in nonconference play. Richie Stefan threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings to get the win while Jake Zyzda finished off the game to get the save.

The team begins a two-game series with Fremd on Monday which will conclude on Wednesday before the Broncos host Rolling Meadows on Friday and Harlem on Saturday.
