By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – In late February, Carter Bailey started to experience pain in his hip, groin and lower back area.

When the pain became unbearable, the 18-year-old Barrington resident and Barrington High School senior visited his doctor. While his X-rays, MRI, fullbody bone scan and blood work Carter didn’t reveal any Bailey abnormalities, Bailey continued to experience pain, which prevented him from fully participating in his lacrosse season, attending a spring break ski trip or even continuing with his regular workouts at CrossFit Barrington.

Bailey returned to his doctor the weekend of Easter for another round of blood work to try to discover the source of the pain. This time, abnormalities appeared, and a bone marrow biopsy led to Bailey being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. He was immediately hospitalized at Lurie Children’s Hospital, where he already has undergone his first round of chemotherapy.

“He’s doing great,” said Celeste Bailey, his mother. “He finished his first round of chemotherapy [May 5].”

Bailey returned home May 6, but a fever sent him back to the hospital the next day. However, since completion of the

Provided Bailey responds well to treatment, he will continue every four weeks.

When the CrossFit Barrington community learned of what the Bailey family was going through, it jumped into action. Bailey, his father Jim and younger brother Griffin, 16, have been members of the gym practically since it

opened in 2011.

“We’ve gotten to know them pretty well over the years and we really watched Carter grow up,” said Leigh Niven, whose husband, Brian, owns CrossFit Barrington. “… As soon as we found out, we knew we had to do something for them.”

The Niven’s created a CarterStrong fundraising page on youcaring.com, with the goal of raising $100,000 to help the family with expenses related to Bailey’s treatment. The

page was up and running April 25, and as of Monday, more than $34,500 has been raised.

“This is something the CrossFit community does,” Niven said. “We aren’t just a gym. We’re a community, and we really care about each other like family.”

Brian Niven said Bailey has been greatly missed at CrossFit Barrington. Not only did Niven know Bailey through the gym, but he also coached him in lacrosse.

“Carter is a workhorse,” Niven said. “… Carter is that type of kid that likes to win.”

Niven said since Bailey hasn’t been able to attend CrossFit Barrington workouts, his drive and youth have been missed.

“They bring the youth to the gym that all the adults try to keep up with,” Niven said, adding how impressed he has been with the Barrington community for rallying around the Bailey family.

Leigh Niven said since they launched the fundraising campaign, which they promoted via social media, it has received an outpouring of support. In fact, Team Denise of Relay for Life recently decided the fundraising night it was hosting for its Relay for Life team will now be split with the CarterStrong campaign. Dine at Culver’s in Lake Zurich from 5 to 8 p.m. May 27 and a portion of the night’s sales will be directed to Team Denise and CarterStrong.

“As you can imagine, with the CarterStrong support and the support from the entire community, it honestly leaves me speechless,” Celeste Bailey said.

In addition to the CarterStrong fundraising campaign, a meal train also has been organized to help the family.

“Everyone has just really rallied to support us at a crazy, challenging time,” Celeste Bailey said.

A new one-story Barrington Village Center plan, as proposed by Envision Realty Advisors and Arthur Hill & Co. of Evanston, would feature 25,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

Commission supports 1-story Village Center plan

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Area residents voiced concern May 7 over what is to become the “Village Center” at Hough and Main streets in downtown Barrington during a special village plan commission meeting.

Prior to the commission’s approval of the one-story amendment to a two-story office space and retail development plan, several residents said they would rather the village continue to hold off on the project until a better alternative is proposed – such as a residential complex.

Longtime resident architect Ronald Flubacker said a housing development would “go like popcorn” in the heart of Barrington.

“This project is a failure,” Flubacker said. “What the village needs is a solid, mixed-use development on this site. A big

timeout needs to be taken here to rethink this entire thing.”

The amendment, a one-story, 25,000 square-foot restaurant and retail development, is yet to be approved by the village board, which meets Monday.

Plan commissioner Dan Hogan said residents have previously spoken out against the “mass” of Village Center plans, and a large-scale residential property would be “gravely objected by even more people.”

In 2012, village officials approved Evanston-based development team Envision Realty

Advisors and Arthur Hill & Co. to create 55,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and office spaces with three buildings to be built as high as three stories. The developers were to recruit retail and restaurant businesses to occupy first-story space along with office tenants for upper levels.

Arthur Hill & Co. President Bruce Reid told plan commission members Wednesday the plan has changed.

The developers would like to remove the idea of the upper floors since they “have solid restaurant and retail interest set for the first floor and the appropriate time to build is approaching quickly,” Reid said.

Jennifer Tennant, assistant director of village services, said the amendment would include 125 public parking spaces and the same landscape, signage and light plans as the 2012 proposal.

Reid said office space nego-

tiations are ongoing, but the construction date is driven by the need to deliver to retailers.

“We don’t want to miss the retail opportunity if it’s there,” Reid said.

Reid said all three buildings are to be built at once with six to eight months of construction beginning by Labor Day. Barrington-based Pepper Construction will be in charge of the build project as originally planned, according to Reid.

Under the amendment, residents can expect 10 (or slightly more) tenants to occupy the village center, including a technology store, apparel stores, service businesses and a cafe, Reid said.

Reid said there will be a focus on “fast, casual restaurants,” with the Main Street building (across from the Catlow Theater) including a high-end restaurant with a rooftop deck.

Other residents, such as Mike Kozel, said the proposed one-story development will di-

vide up business already in the area.

“This is just a little strip center,” Kozel said. “What are we going to get out of this as a village?”

Reid would not comment on whether or not interested retail tenants are current Barrington businesses.

Village Manager Jeff Lawler said a residential project would be expensive.

Lawler said the only village cost to this project is the public parking lot.

“The development is going to be built on village-owned land, but it’s the developers’ cost to build out the land. We serve the lease,” Lawler said.

Lawler said most of the tax produced by the Village Center will go toward the Barrington 220 School District, and it’s unlikely village board members will move toward a residential plan at their May 19 meeting since “the goal has always been retail.”

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON HILLS – Cook County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Brennan confirmed May 5 the judicial sale of a 397.25-acre equestrian estate known as Horizon Farms to the Forest Preserves District of Cook County.

The property at 311 Algonquin Road in Barrington Hills had been in foreclosure since August 2013 and is now the largest single holding acquired by the Forest Preserves since 1968, according to a Forest Preserves news release.

Morgan Stanley celebrates branch consolidation

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Making an investment in downtown Barrington, Morgan Stanley has combined its two Main Street offices – at 303 E. Main St. and 760 W. Main St. – to have a singular location at 760 W. Main St., Barrington.

Based in New York, Morgan Stanley has more than 20 offices in Illinois. A total of 54 financial advisers will work out of the new headquarters on West Main Street.

The office consolidation was made official May 6 during a Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony. Village and chamber officials came out to show their support.

Ken Skiba, Morgan Stanley’s Barrington branch manager, said he is proud to “bring Wall Street to Main Street” and to “continue to spur economic development in downtown Barrington.”

FOX VALLEY U.S. POWER SQUADRONS COMMANDER

PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW

B

arrington resident Julie Perry is the commander of the Fox Valley U.S. Power Squadrons as of this year. Perry told Barrington Suburban Life reporter Tarah Thorne more about her local role and plans to set a new world record.

Thorne: What led you to this position?

Perry: It began when my husband wanted his own boat and, being educators, before we do anything we learn as much about it as possible. I became a member of the bridge and moved up through the ranks to the top position of commander.

Thorne: What does the Fox Valley Sail and Power Squadron do in the local community?

Perry: We teach several boating safety classes every year at a variety of locations and conduct free vessel safety checks on boats to assure owners that they are meeting U.S. Coast Guard safety requirements. They receive a sticker to display on the boat.

We collect food that is distributed to several agencies in this area at our annual food drive and host fundraisers to purchase and donate life jackets for youngsters in nearby summer camps.

Our yearly outdoor family day activities at Cabela’s promote the wearing of life jackets.

We instruct how to put them on quickly and correctly.

Thorne: How many members does the Fox Valley Sail and Power Squadron have?

Perry: We have 85 members and growing, but FVSPS is just one of 400 squadrons throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico with about 40,000 members.

The [United States Power Squadrons] is the nation’s largest nonprofit boating organization, divided into 33 districts.

Our District 20 reaches from Racine, Wis., to Springfield, to the Mississippi River at the Illinois state line and then into Michigan City, Ind.

If you go ■ WHAT: Life Jacket World Record

Day

■ WHERE: Cabela’s, 5225 Prairie

Stone Parkway, Hoffman Estates

■ WHEN: 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday ■ INFO: Area residents will gather

to set a world record for the most life jackets worn and most inflatable life jackets filled to promote public safety as part of National Safety Week, May 17 to 23. For information, visit www. fvspboating.org.

Thorne: Tell us about your goal to set a world record May 17.

Perry: Our goal is to assist the National Safe Boating Council to break last year’s record of 5,774 participants in Ready, Set, Wear It! Life Jacket World Record Day campaign by raising awareness and importance of wearing life jackets and boating safety in general.

We are encouraging families that boat together to set an example of automatically putting on life jackets when engaged in water sports.

Thorne: Where did this idea come from?

Perry: This is the Annual Ready, Set, Wear It! Life Jacket World Record Day campaign that began in 2010 to bring together boating safety partners across the U.S. and Canada to promote safe and responsible boating, including voluntarily wearing of life jackets.

Thorne: Why is life jacket safety most important to you?

Perry: In the local and national news each year, there

Boating safety leader aims for world record

NEWS |

IN THEIR LIFE

11

JULIE PERRY

• BOATING Continued from page 11 are reports of drowning due to people not wearing life jackets.

When I see boats leaving the dock with families of young children not wearing life jackets, I wonder why. Life jackets today are light and comfortable to wear and are required by the U.S. Coast Guard. They save lives. It is like seat belts in an automobile; it is now almost automatic to buckle up when you get in a car. Many times, safety begins with the youngsters getting in the habit. We would like it to become a habit to put on a life jacket when participating in a water sport.

Thorne: As a Barrington resident, what do you enjoy doing around the local area?

Perry: I like the Concerts in the Park, Citizens for Conservation events, attending the Catlow Theater, participating in BACOA events and trying the many wonderful eating places to name just a few things here. There is so much to do in this area.

Thorne: How long have you lived in the area?

Perry: We moved here in 1975 and love living here.

Thorne: How long have you been boating?

Perry: I have boated with family and friends most of my life but only had our own boat for seven years.

Thorne: Where do you most enjoy boating?

Perry: When we are here, we

boat with Fox Valley members on their boats on the Fox River and on Lake Michigan. Our boat is docked in Port Charlotte, Fla., and we boat there on the Myakka River, Charlotte Harbor and head down to the Inner Coastal Waterway when we can get away in the winter.

Thorne: The United States Power Squadrons will celebrate 100 years this year. What does the organization do across the country?

Perry: Organized in 1914, United States Power Squadrons is dedicated to making recreational boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in boating-related subjects. Our members are boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting safe boating through education. The three objectives of [the United States Power Squadrons] are: continuing education, community service and friendship through camaraderie.

misunderstanding the public has on using life jackets is that one size fits all. Life jackets are sized to the weight range of the person wearing the life jacket and must be Coast Guard approved – it will say on the life jacket.

These include paddle boat sports, fishing, white-water rafting, personal watercraft, whether you need the life jacket to open automatically when you hit the water or are inherently buoyant.

n WHEN: 1 to 5 p.m. May 22 n WHERE: Physical Education

The few returning vets who have recently settled back in Barrington are going to school under the G.I. Bill, according to Corwin.

But the issue for most vets is finding an entry-level job that leads to a career, Corwin said.

“I am always amazed by how many politicians trumpet the number of jobs they take credit for bringing to a community,” Corwin said.

“But are they entry-level jobs just at or slightly above minimum wage?”

The Illinois unemployment rate for vets age 18 and older in 2013 was 9.2 percent – up from 6.7 percent in 2012.

Looking back six years, the highest unemployment rate for Illinois vets was in 2009, at 9.4 percent, according to national data released May 2 by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Lake County Veterans Assistance Commission Superintendent Mike Peck reported in November 2013, 1,600 unemployed vets were looking for work while another 3,500 unemployed vets had stopped looking.

A Veterans Weekly Job Club meets from 10 a.m. to

noon Thursdays at the College of Lake County Grayslake Campus Job Center. Judy Leonard of the Illinois Department of Employment Security provides employment and training-related information to vets. Participants are encouraged to bring their job leads and to share findings with others.

IDES spokesman Greg Rivara said such services help vets prepare to describe how their military experience “translates to civilian jobs.”

“Military training goes against letting people talk about themselves as individuals,” Rivara said. “Usually we try to pair vets with employers who are also vets so that they have someone to relate to.”

Rivara said the IDES helped 27,949 vets search for jobs in 2013 and that unemployment is highest for vets who entered military service right out of

high school or college.

Tax incentives of up to $9,600 over the course of two years are offered to employers who hire vets, Rivara added.

Rivara said vets can be some of the best job candidates.

“Vets value service above self,” Rivara said. “They are responsible and accountable, and employers realize that.”

When asked what sorts of jobs the IDES helps vets apply for, Rivara said job assistance workers help vets find jobs through which vets can “raise a family.” The IDES may or may not recommend pursuing a college education depending on what each candidate’s priorities are, Rivara said.

“Some vets return from service without the time to devote to school,” Rivara said. “We look at their goals and skills and then determine where those skills would be needed in the workforce.”

BARRINGTON – Memorial Day is an annual, solemn salute to those who have died in active military service. Remembering those alive and in need, meanwhile, is an everyday responsibility for devoted residents throughout the area.

Paul Corwin serves as chairman of the Barrington VFW Memorial Day Parade.

He gathers veterans, scout troops and community members to participate in Memorial Day services at several cemeteries.

But the rest of the year, Corwin knows many returning veterans are struggling to find work.

“The real question to be asked is what types of jobs are available?” said Corwin, who served two tours in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. “In my opinion, jobs are

OPINIONS n LAST WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: What’s your favorite type of pizza topping?

55 PERCENT: Sausage or pepperoni 21 PERCENT: The works 21 PERCENT: Plain cheese 3 PERCENT: nontraditional (think Hawaiian)

Don’t I know you from somewhere?

I’ve been writing this column for six years and have been recognized six times by readers. Obviously, this extraordinary rate of recognition has to make a difference in how I should behave in public. This thought came to me as I stood in the underwear section of Kohl’s, examining a pair of Granny panties. I told myself I cannot purchase these gigantic underpants anymore because I wouldn’t want anyone in the checkout line to say, “You’re that woman from the paper, aren’t you?” while I’m handing the cashier my credit card for enormous bloomers.

No, from now on, I’ll have to buy bikini briefs, even though OFF THE they’ll only fit on my wrists.

DEEP END Another thing I can no Judi longer do is talk to myself in a Veoukas department store. I catch myself saying, “Don’t I already have those jeans?” or “Why is the material so flimsy?” or, worse yet, “Who in her right mind would wear that sweater?!”

People have looked at me with confusion (and/or familiarity) as I blurt out my words and they see no Bluetooth device attached to my ear. As I babbled last week, a fellow shopper said, “Don’t I know you?” I assured her she didn’t because I noticed she’d picked up the “who in her right mind!” sweater I’d just wondered about out loud. A few minutes later, there she was in the checkout line in front of me, buying that same ugly sweater. “You’re that woman from the paper,” she said as she turned around. “I never read your columns.”

Certainly in restaurants I can no longer do anything which would attract attention, although the last time anyone noticed me while dining was between my marriages, 30-some years ago. I was at an expensive crowded French bistro my date had picked. I ordered coffee rather than wine because wine makes me stupid. I, of course, dropped my packet of Sweet’N Low on the floor, and, as I bent to pick it up, fell off the chair. I never saw my date again. Today, I no longer bend down to pick up anything at restaurants. Now that 30-plus years have passed since the Sweet’N Low incident, if I made a scene while eating out I might be recognized because of the column, but I’d probably draw more attention to myself because I’m old and break easily.

So, if you happen to recognize a woman in public – one with red, frizzled hair, usually with a white circle of outgrowth at the crown, glasses sliding down on her nose, and, on sunny days, a noticeable mustache – who is not in the midst of purchasing granny bloomers, talking to merchandise displays or being whisked off by paramedics after falling from a chair in a restaurant, please say hi. I promise not to cause any embarrassment.

Sexting a serious issue among teens The recent case involving sexting and felony child pornography charges at Barrington Middle School is a reminder of the dangers technology brings to teenagers and the consequences poor decisions can have.

In the Barrington incident, two middle school students, both 14, were arrested on possessing and disseminating child pornography charges after they were accused of texting sexually explicit photographs and video of another student to classmates at Barrington Middle School – Station Campus.

Statistics show the increased availability and popularity of smartphones is leading to an increase in sexting among teens. Consider: • According to the Pew Internet & Life Project, 20 percent of 16-year-olds and 30 percent of 17-year-olds have received a sext.

• An MTV-Associated Press poll indicated 49 percent of teens believe sending and receiving sexts is very common at their age.

• According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 44 percent of teens said it is common for sexually suggestive text messages to get shared with people other than the intended recipient.

For the record Poor decisions in one’s teen years now can be chronicled digitally and live forever.

Teens who participate in sexting put themselves at risk in a number of ways. In the Barrington instance, these students now face felony charges.

In the past few years, there have been several reports of teens who committed suicide because of the harassment they faced at school when nude photos they intended to be sent privately to boyfriends or girlfriends were disseminated to classmates.

Besides the embarrassment of half the class seeing what was intended to be private, there are pedophiles who seek and obtain these images.

Poor decisions in one’s teen years now can be chronicled digitally and live forever.

Sexting is a serious issue for teens and our society. It’s not a comfortable issue to talk about, but parents of teens and preteens should have that discussion.

Let your sons and daughters know the very serious consequences of sexting. They are consequences which can affect them for the rest of their lives.

A vastly increased police presence in gang-controlled neighborhoods plus the techniques used in New York City to reduce its once legendary street violence are shunned by the Chicago Police Department, whose current chief rejects hiring more cops in favor of urging more gun control laws because that’s what his boss, the mayor, prefers.

Feel a little Irish anytime at Blackthorn Grille LAKE VILLA – The Midwest, and the Chicago area especially, have a great tradition of Irish pubs that’ll serve you a little corned beef and a pint of draft beer. Visit enough of these spots, and you may find yourself thinking there’s nothing new in Irish cuisine.

Don’t mistake Blackthorn Grille for one such experience. More than just a pub, it’s a full-service Irish restaurant that doesn’t lay on the Emerald Isle trappings too thickly. You can get your shepherd’s pie, corned beef and a pint of draft beer, of course, but there’s a lot more than that, too.

I stopped by on a recent evening with a dining companion and a big appetite.

We’d had an early lunch that day, and this was turning out to be a late dinner by the time we made it to the restaurant.

Seated quickly and greeted by a server almost immediately, we both agreed on the Celtic knots appetizer right away.

The “knots” were goodsized piece of bread that had been tossed in olive oil, garlic and herbs, then topped with Parmesan cheese. Available for dipping were tasty marinara and Alfredo sauces.

My companion favored the Alfredo, while I leaned toward the marinara, so we were both happy.

We’d made good progress on the appetizer, despite its generous size, when our next course appeared – a house salad for me, a cup of cream of broccoli for my companion.

These were simply made, but with quality ingredients and disappeared quickly.

Next up was the entrees – shepherd’s pie for me companion, and chicken Marsala for me. I ordered the bleu cheese cole slaw and grilled mushrooms as my included sides, forgetting for the moment that my chicken would also be topped with mushrooms. My mistake didn’t matter one bit – the mushrooms in the Marsala dish were simple a piece of a much larger tapestry of

Blackthorn Grille is more than just an Irish pub, it’s a full-fledged Irish restaurant.

This photo doesn’t do it justice – the shepherd’s pie at Blackthorn Grille wound up providing enough tasty leftovers for two more meals. flavor, while the grilled side made for a delightfully strong counterpoint to the mild and refreshing cole slaw.

My companion chose a side of grilled asparagus and proclaimed it the best she’d ever tasted, high praise considering her enthusiasm for that vegetable. She was equally pleased by the shepherd’s pie, but given its heartiness and massive proportions, she’d only made it a third of the way through the dish when she asked for a box – and later got two more meals out of it.

At this point ordering dessert was more than glutton-

ous, but we pressed on regardless. Our server rattled off a lengthy list of choices, from which I selected the chocolate fudge cake and my companion the chocolate mousse.

Upon finishing these fantastic sweets, I reflected that we probably should have shared a single dessert, to which my companion agreed.

Blackthorn Grille has a whole host of options that we didn’t get to explore. There’s a vast array of burgers, sandwiches, paninis and wraps, including a buffalo burger and tasty sounding Kildare chicken Parmesan. The menu

LAKE BARRINGTON – Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District firefighters successfully tested and equipped the district’s newest tender for front line service less than 48 hours after the vehicle’s arrival April 29. The new vehicle entered service May 1 and is based at Station Two, 120 W. Algonquin Road, Barrington Hills.

The new vehicle, Tender 382, was manufactured by Midwest Fire Equipment in Luverne, Minn. A group of district officials arrived in Luverne April, 27 to oversee final road and equipment testing, according to a news release from the district.

Another new vehicle, Tender 381, entered service in the district’s Station One in Lake Barrington in January. Each

There’s no concern of widespread outbreak after another local case of mumps was recently reported, according to the Lake County Health Department.

A student at Fremont Middle School in Mundelein is the most recent instance with a probable case of mumps.

That marks the fifth case in Lake County this year after just one in 2013, said Leslie Piotrowski, Lake County Health Department spokeswoman.

The health department worked with Fremont school officials to send a letter to parents making them aware of the mumps case and to determine if any other students had symptoms, Piotrowski said.

Because the county’s five cases of mumps were not close in geography or time, the health department has not issued any special precautions to other schools in the county, Piotrowski said.

Mumps cases are categorized as suspect, probable or

confirmed. Four of this year’s Lake County cases were probable, or more likely to be confirmed, and one was suspect, or less likely to be confirmed.

While it’s not full proof, the best way to prevent mumps is to be immunized with the mumps, measles and rubella vaccine, Piotrowski said.

“We do see it as being an increase,” Piotrowski said of this year’s reported cases. “But the vaccine, it’s not 100-percent effective so there are going to be cases of mumps, occasionally, even with people who have received the vaccine.”

The virus is spread by coughing and sneezing and by direct contact with saliva, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Symptoms usually include fever, headache and swelling and tenderness of one or more of the salivary glands.

There is no specific treatment for mumps. To cease the spread of the disease, health officials recommend regular hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes and staying home when sick.

New basketball partnership begins Fillies ride No. 2 seed into regionals at Lake Barrington Field House SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

By ANDY SCHMIDT Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – With the postseason just around the corner and coming off a tough loss in its previous game, Barrington’s girls soccer team needed a strong outing during its regular-season finale.

The Fillies not only put together a strong effort on the road Saturday at Hoffman Estates but spread the wealth as eight different players scored in a 10-0 rout of the Hawks.

It took a while for Barrington to get the scoring started, but when it did, goals came in bunches.

The scoring barrage began 12 minutes into the game on a goal by Jenna Szczesny. Two minutes later, Mia Calamari was taken down in the box and awarded a penalty kick, which she calmly finished.

Szczesny scored again later in the half on a header to make it 3-0 going into the second half.

The onslaught continued after the break as the Fillies scored three times in a three-minute span early in the half.

Annalise Avers scored two minutes into the second half, Haley Tausend added a goal just 96 seconds later and Nicole Niro topped the quick

outburst with a goal 79 seconds after Tausend. A Carrie Madden goal six minutes later cut the second-half clock in half due to the seven-goal mercy rule.

Barrington struck again for another three-goal barrage in the closing minutes, courtesy of Kayla Schutter, Maesyn Poidomani and Schutter, who capped the scoring with her second goal of the afternoon.

Barrington goalkeeper Hannah Luedtke finished with two saves in the shutout.

The Fillies were scheduled to play Hersey on Wednesday in the Mid-Suburban League championship at home before kicking of the IHSA playoffs.

The postseason will get started Wednesday as the Fillies host the Class 3A Regional.

Barrington, who has the No. 2 seed, will play No. 15 seed Wheeling at 5 p.m. The winner will face either No. 6 Mundelein or No. 10 Carmel in the championship game at 6 p.m.

LAKE BARRINGTON – Joy of the Game, a North Shore basketball organization, has expanded to the Lake Barrington Field House, 28156 W. Northpointe Parkway in Lake Barrington, overseeing all basketball programs.

Two new basketball programs, JOTG West and Rising Stars West, will provide young athletes through West Lake County with resources and facilities to further their basketball careers, according to a news release.

A number of national elite basketball organizations were interviewed for this position. In the past 18 months, JOTG has expanded in the sports market and

throughout the Chicago region, now able to bring more kids into its programs without losing its personalized coaching experience, the release stated IFG Development Group, LLC selected JOTG for the Field House. IFG founder Steven Edelson said he is very happy with the selection.

“We believe this partnership will allow JOTG to extend their brand excellence to the Field House,” Edelson said in the release. “As a result, the participants in our programs will receive the highest level of training to be found.”

Donnell Thomas will become the new operations

director for JOTG West and Rising Stars West.

“JOTG has a great system in place, and it’s very exciting to be moving forward,” Thomas said. “Helping athletes grow is one of JOTG’s goals, so bringing in more players will help us achieve that in yet another location.”

Thomas has 12 years of experience in European professional basketball and is in the Chicago Public League Hall of Fame for Paul Robeson High School and in the Northern Illinois University Hall of Fame.

JOTG owner Josh Carl said the organization has been wanting to expand for some time now, and Lake Barrington seemed to be the perfect location.

Founded in 1993, JOTG has evolved from a small basketball clinic in the North Shore to a full array of programming for players of all ages and skill levels.
