BARRINGTON – Construction at Hough and Main Streets will begin in downtown Barrington this fall after Village Board members on Monday unanimously approved a one-story amendment to a long-standing, two-year development plan.

New amendments to the village’s Hough Main Redevelopment Site Ground Lease and planned development now authorize Evanston-based development Envision Reality Advisors and Arthur Hill & Co. to build a one-story, 25,000-squarefoot restaurant and retail development in the vacant lot between the Catlow Theater and Barrington Village Hall.

The village is leasing $12 million worth of land to the developers at $1 each year for 99 years, according to Barrington Village Manager Jeff Lawler.

A 125-car public parking lot will remain village-owned with a $1 million build-out cost this year and $1 million maintenance cost every 16 years, Lawler said.

Lawler added that the developers will be responsible for a fraction of the long-term parking lot maintenance fee depending on “how many dollars they are able to bring in.”

Several residents spoke out to the village’s plan commission members and architectural review committee earlier this month, urging the groups to halt the amendment before it went on to the Village Board for final approval. Two residents addressed board members once more Monday with the same concern.

Mike Kozel of Barrington told board members they are “giving away one of the village’s most valuable assets to an out-of-town developer with

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

“You are asking citizens to settle for a strip-center shopping mall,” Kozel said. “This will not increase business coming to town. It will just split up existing business.”

Jim Magnanenzi of Barrington said his main concern is a financial one.

“The market will usually tell you what the right thing to do is,” Magnanenzi said, explaining that luxury condominiums would be best for Hough and Main development in the current economy. “Intelligent residents and local architects have all said it would be best to go residential.”

One resident, Curt Moore,

“There’s been a demise of retail in Barrington,” Moore said. “It’s time to look at where we are and where we are going to move forward. I think the enhanced plan is the right thing to do at this time. We need to move forward and get this thing done.”

Lawler said board members have never been opposed to a residential development, but when the project was first presented years ago, “all developers wanted to go with firstfloor retail.”

“The board has always been market-driven with this project,” Lawler said.

Under the redevelopment amendment, Barrington retailers must increase their floor space by 40 percent in order to relocate into the Hough and Main center, Lawler said.

“We want to retain area business and protect those businesses to the furthest extent possible,” Lawler said.

Lawler said the village’s

main reason for continuing its ownership of the parking lot is to make it available to all downtown guests – not just those shopping and dining at the village center.

Arthur Hill & Co. President Bruce Reid said the three-building complex is to be built all at once with 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.

Reid said residents can expect 10 or slightly more restaurant and retail tenants to occupy the development with a focus on fast, casual restaurants.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined after a four-month investi-

gation that Mya Edwards had died from homicide, specifically malnutrition from starvation. The parents were charged Friday by Barrington Police and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

According to court records, prosecutors said both babies were left unattended in the single-family home basement for long periods of time while the parents spent most of their time upstairs. The parents stopped feeding their daughters formula in November, instead filling their bottles with a mix of water, cereal and baby food.

The surviving twin sister is now in foster care, according to the Department of Children and Family Services spokeswoman Karen Hawkins.

Hawkins said DCFS received an “unfounded” neglect report for the parents in April 2013, as well as an indicated abuse report that involved another child in the same home in 2002. The third child was an extended family member, she said.

Both Jones and Edwards are scheduled to appear in court in Rolling Meadows May 21, according to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Crash injures 5-month-old boy in South Barrington

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com SOUTH BARRINGTON – A 5-month-old boy was hospitalized in serious condition following a crash Sunday afternoon at Algonquin and Barrington roads in South Barrington, according to South Barrington Police Chief Thomas Roman.

Roman described the crash, which occurred about 1:40 p.m., to be a “chaotic scene” involving a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, 2014 Kia Sorento and 2013 Dodge Dart.

Of the 12 people involved, at least two remained hospitalized early Monday afternoon, Roman said.

Arriving first on the scene, Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District crews realized the incident required more equipment, manpower and ambulances, and requested the help of 13 surrounding fire departments, including the Barrington Fire Department, according to a district news release.

The scene was turned over to South Barrington police at 3:12 p.m., according to the release.

Roman said Barrington Road was closed from Algonquin to Mundhank roads until shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday.

Eight patients were transported to three regional hospitals, according to Barrington

Countryside Protection District Chief Jeff Swanson.

Swanson said three patients were transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge; two patients to Advocate Good Shepherd Hos-

pital in Barrington; and three patients to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates.

Swanson would not comment on the condition of the patients or the cause of the crash.

The most serious patients were transported to a level one trauma center, Swanson said.

This crash remains under investigation by South Barrington police and the Cook County Major Case Assistance Team.

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

Forest preserves to seek local input on Horizon Farms land

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON HILLS – Barrington area naturalists have a whole lot of land at their fingertips now that the Forest Preserves District of Cook County has acquired hundreds of acres of open space following an August 2013 foreclosure at Horizon Farms in Barrington Hills.

The Cook County Circuit Court confirmed the $14.5 million sale of the 387.25-acre equestrian property to the district May 6. Amcore Bank filed a foreclosure request with the Cook County Circuit Court against Richard Cannon and Meryl Squires Cannon, who had bought the farm land for $19 million in 2006, according to court records.

Horizon Farms history dates back to 1983 when property was purchased by William McGinley and his family.

When the land was sold to the Cannons, then-resident Robert McGinley retained 14 acres of the land and a home on the eastern part of the property, which he still owns today, according to the Barrington Area Conservation Trust.

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

The trust’s Executive Director Lisa Woolford said the trust has been “planning ahead” for such change in ownership ever since it and Conservation Foundation of Naperville placed a conservation easement on the property in 2003. The easement divided the property into a maximum of eight lots, rather than the 80 homes that could be developed under the village of Barrington Hills’ five-acre zoning requirements, according to the trust.

Since purchasing the property, the forest preserves district has announced its plan to fully assess the land for public safety and request public input for future use. District

spokesman Don Parker said the district shares a similar goal with the trust.

“We will be doing habitat restoration and most likely working with local conservation groups,” Parker said.

Parker said the land is “beautiful with open, rolling hills, pasture and hay fields, and many recreational areas to hike or bike.”

Hiking or biking would be allowed under the terms of the easement, Woolford said, but athletic fields, golf courses, and buildings, “or any other type of structure” would be prohibited.

Woolford said she is proud of the trust’s preservation ef-

forts at Horizon Farms, adding she is looking forward to meeting with the Forest Preserves District to discuss future plans.

“The forest preserves have always shown a great history of land stewardship,” Woolford said. “It’s great that the land is still here. The Cannons maintained it well and I know the forest preserves will continue to place priority on preservation.”

Woolford said the trust has “no specific recommendations” for the Forest Preserves District at this point, aside from keeping the space “open and natural.”

The trust has been stressing

that area residents preserve and plan oak trees, which are present on the acquired land.

Research conducted by the McHenry County Conservation District in 2005 showed oak woodlands had declined by 87 percent in less than 200 years.

A grassland bird habitat that naturally occurs on the property will continue to be beneficial to the area as well, Woolford said, since many of these bird populations are in decline.

The Forest Preserves District now owns 69,123 acres of land with a goal of reaching its statutory limit of 75,000 acres by 2022, according the district’s website. Parker said the true goal is to raise the statutory limit to 90,000 acres as part of an upcoming century development plan.

Parker said the Cannons have been talking about appealing the Cook County Circuit Court’s decision, but the forest preserves district is “confident that the acquisition is final.”

No future court dates have been set to his knowledge, Parker said, although a “hearing for a motion to wave a bond requirement for a court appeal may happen in the next few weeks.”

Salvadoran teens arrive at hospital for heart procedures SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – Last week, two Salvadoran 13-yearolds, Andrea and Leslie, will arrive at Chicago O’Hare International Airport for upcoming cardiac care at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington.

Once settled with their individual host families in Hawthorne Woods, the teens were scheduled to be seen May 14

for initial testing and procedures by Dr. Mehran Jabbarzadeh, a cardiac electrophysiologist at the hospital.

Both teens suffer from tachycardia, which is a faster than normal heart rate at rest, according to a hospital news release.

Tachycardia occurs when an abnormality in the heart produces rapid electrical signals. The condition can seriously disrupt normal heart

function, increase the risk of stroke, or cause sudden cardiac arrest or death, according to the release.

Jabbarzadeh said the pending heart procedure, “an electrophysiology study with catheter ablation,” will consist of inserting “thin electrode catheters into blood vessels which are then guided to the heart.”

“We then identify the abnormal heart tissue which is causing the [condition] and

destroy it by applying heat through one of these catheters,” Jabbarzadeh said.

“Once this is done, the girls can be cured of their irregular heart rate problems.”

The medical mission was arranged in partnership with the worldwide nonprofit organization, Healing the Children, which matches children in need from countries lacking available medical treatment with physicians and hospitals

in the U.S. having the capabilities to help and the willingness to donate their services.

Healing the Children also organizes medical missions to third-world countries where U.S. doctors and nurses treat dozens of children in need, according to the release.

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital staff has been working with Healing the Children, performing heart procedures, since 2007.

BARRINGTON – A group of Barrington 220 School District parents announced May 13 the formation of the Barrington Chinese Immersion Council.

While the council will work with and support the school district, it will be run independently and modeled after the Barrington Council for the Gifted and Talented, according to a council news release.

Council President Alex Bernardi of North Barrington said the council’s immediate goal is to support the families that are in the Chinese Immersion

The council will fully start fundraising after receiving obtaining 501(c)(3) status.

Council board member Robert Windon of Barrington said the school district has been “incredible advocates” for Chinese Immersion children.

“We have seen how much this program has benefited our children and want to help the program grow to serve even more families,” Windon said.

The Bridge to Chinese program launched in the fall of 2011 with a kindergarten and firstgrade class at Barbara Rose School. Then, Chinese Immersion kindergarten classes were

added to Countryside School the following two years. The coming few years will see the implementation of the program into its third and final school, North Barrington School. Plus, the first students, who started in kindergarten, will be transitioning into middle school, as stated by the release.

According to the council, first-round funding will be used to supplement classroom materials to all sections.

School officials will determine the needs of students. A website, www.bcic.org, will launch before the start of the 2014-15 school year.

CANCER FIGHTER

PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW

aving lived in Barrington for arrival of his first child with his wife, Tarah Thorne about his independent four years, 28-year-old Grant Megan, in August. Polachek told business, published work, hobbies Polachek is awaiting the Barrington Suburban Life reporter and unique feat – beating cancer.

Thorne: What do you like most about Barrington?

Polachek: I especially love the historic downtown area and the atmosphere it brings to Barrington. I can walk to the grocery store, the bank, and my favorite breakfast restaurant (Egg Harbor). I have a lot of business meetings in Cook Street Coffee and am always at the Barrington Area Library. We have great neighbors and a bike path just down the block, which is perfect for walking the dogs.

Thorne: Two years ago, you overcame mediastinal seminoma cancer.

How did this diagnosis affect your life?

Polachek: The diagnosis, treatment and recovery process was profound. I wrote about it in a series of poems that I published called “The Comedy of a Simple Soul.”

But, to sum it up in one word, it was a journey. Philosophically and spiritually, I questioned everything. It was a deep reassessment of life and my beliefs. I came out the other side a different person— wiser, more confident, and more self-aware.

Thorne: Had you ever heard of this form of cancer before? How rare is it?

Polachek: No. I had not heard of it. A mediastinal seminoma is very rare. Only a handful of cases come about every year.

A seminoma is what Lance Armstrong had, but mine was in the mediastinum (the chest). Again, very rare.

Thorne: When did you become involved with Wellness Place in Palatine? How were Wellness Place’s support services instrumental to your healing?

Polachek: I was turned on to Wellness Place by my oncologist toward the end of my

treatment. What surprised me about the cancer process is this: The recovery process – after chemotherapy was complete and my cancer was deemed cured – was the hardest part. The treatment was physically and mentally difficult, of course, but it seemed like it was over in the blink of an eye. Then, after treatment a huge uncertainty arose. Anxiety arose. I wanted my body to feel better quickly and it just wasn’t. This is where the counseling and free alternative treatments from Wellness Place became invaluable. The Reiki, Healing Touch, Massage, Naprapathy and weekly yoga class were so important to my recovery.

Thorne: What are you most excited for with the birth of your first child?

Polachek: Truly everything.

I’m excited for another chapter in my life. But, if I had to choose one thing, I just can’t wait to hold my son in my arms for the first time.

Thorne: How have you helped Wellness Place prepare for or spread

word of their annual Community Cancer Walk Celebration May 18?

Polachek: I’m very excited to participate for the first time. I am on the Wellness Place Walk Committee. We have been spreading the word about the walk in a grass roots way, getting into the community and generating excitement and awareness. I have a team this year — Boost.

In my book, “Strong Work Ethic,” I wrote “Celebrate your small successes. Celebrate your friends’ successes…Mark successes, large and small, and celebrate them.” That’s what’s unique about this event. It’s the one day of the year for this community to come together and truly celebrate for themselves, their family and their friends.

Thorne: You’ve started your own business. Please describe your services and the entrepreneurial process.

Polachek: The entrepreneurial process in a nutshell is taking something that you are uniquely great at, packaging it into something that people want, and figuring out a way to let people know about it …

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

In launching Funnel Marketing Group, I concluded that I was uniquely good at two things: (1) grass roots marketing (networking, strategic partnerships, local or community marketing, life cycle marketing, etc.) and (2) modern marketing (web design, social media, marketing automation, email marketing, etc.

My grass roots marketing skills were honed over 10 years while part of small teams that grew some of the largest martial arts schools in the country with National Karate. My modern marketing skills were mastered while at a small marketing start-up launched right as social media marketing was becoming respected and commonplace.

It is with this unique background that I provide sophisticated solutions to lawyers, accountants, IT companies, chiropractors, psychologists, consultants, sstrologers, Realtors, construction companies, studios (karate, yoga, dance, Pilates), etc.

Thorne: What are your long-term goals, both in business and as a father?

Polachek: I just want to be ‘a ripple of positivity.’ In my business, I want to serve my clients. I want to help them grow. Most of all, I want them to have a great experience working with me. I want to uplift them, perhaps inspire them, and always leave them with a smile on their face. As a father, I simply want to love my son. I will provide unwavering support and unconditional love.

Thorne: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Polachek: I still participate in the martial arts at National Karate. I’m a third-degree black belt, but not as active as I used to be. I recently helped judge a tournament with several hundred competitors, and I do a little stretching or Tai Chi once in a while. I have written several books, all published and available on CreateSpace. com and Amazon.com. I also love the occasional TV show.

I’m a sap for detective stuff: NCIS, Bones, Psych, White Collar, Castle.

Thorne: Do you have any advice for someone going through a tough life transition?

Polachek: Don’t do it alone.

I read many books and was helped by good friends who are also counselors, psychologists, coaches and healers.

I also like to say “look into the taboo.” I wrote this in the final chapter of my book “Pre-Marketing.” For me, energy healing and meditation have been two of the most important aspects of my healing. I know a lot of people who think Reiki is “wooh wooh” stuff. But, I won’t go a month without it.

“Space Cowboys” movie inspires new approach

By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – Three retired teachers recently descended on Barrington Community Unit School District 220 with the mission of physics education in mind.

It was an idea conceived

by Superintendent Tom Leonard following his viewing of the movie “Space Cowboys,” released in 2000. The film is about four retired astronauts who return to space to complete a mission. With that idea in mind, Leonard came up with a plan to turn to retired teachers to return to the district to help mentor and offer teaching advice and strategies to the district’s current teachers.

It was at a Jimmy Buffett-themed retirement party that Leonard approached Scott Beutlich, whom taught high school physics for 33 years in Crystal Lake Community High School District 155 and retired in 2012, Chris Chiaverina, whom taught high school physics for 34 years in District 220 and at New Trier High School and retired in 2002, and Jim Hicks, whom taught high school physics for 37 years in District 220 before retiring from full-time teaching in 2000 and part-time teaching in 2003, with his idea.

The three soon became the space cowboys and the pilot program was funded by the Barrington 220 Educational Foundation.

“We thought it would be a great idea to utilize the expertise of these teachers,” said Becky Gill, director of elementary curriculum.

This year’s focus was teaching light to second-graders and light and sound to seventh graders. The teachers first worked with the space cowboys to understand the activities and experiments and gain knowledge on the physics concepts. All of the district’s seventh-grade science teachers participated and the majority of the district’s second-grade teachers participated.

The space cowboys then worked with second-graders at

Sunny Hill Elementary School to put their experience into action.

“We really enjoyed the enthusiasm of not just the teachers, but the students,” Hicks said.

Students went through physics stations before group follow-up with both the students and the teachers.

“The essence of this approach is the students have an opportunity to interact with the phenomena first,” Chiaverina said.

The approach of introducing concepts hands-on before discussing the science of them provides a non-judgmental way for students to experience and explore science, the space cowboys said.

“It mitigates science anxiety because they’re not worried about getting the right answer,” Chiaverina said.

Beutlich added the inquiry approach allows students to discover concepts on their own, rather than teachers just talking about the concepts.

“With the kids, we want to develop that enthusiasm, maintain that enthusiasm and carry that love of science through,” Gill said.

The goal of this teaching method is for the students to not just quote the equations, but know the science and the reasoning behind the equations.

“We want them to ride the equations before they derive the equations,” Hicks said.

Gill said one of the things she noticed in her observations of the space cowboys with the students is that they don’t give the answers, but they guide the students to the answers by asking questions.

“When you’re observing this in action, you see the children [are] excited because they are going to be active learners,” Gill said.

Although the space cowboys have been out of school for a few years, they all agreed the return to the classroom was seamless.

Senior Real Estate Market Requires Special Expertise

By Mark Munro

Pricing, marketing and preparation are just a few of the critical topics residential real estate agents need to utilize when working with clients 50 years and older.

For the last several years I’ve had a continual discussion with older adults that explores any number of issues important to seniors, especially how to get the most value from selling a home. Senior housing organizations, such as The Garlands and Villa Addolorata, have invited me to lead presentations to both seniors and their adult children.

but they help clients explore other housing options to ensure that a next home best serves the current and future needs for the senior clients.

A SRES real estate agent has knowledge about everything from reverse mortgages and the importance of universal design to the uses of pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transactions.

Five great ways to get outside with your kids After the cruelest winter in my memory, the sites, sounds, and temperature of spring are more than welcome. My kids are happiest outside and if allowed would spend all day outside.

Here are five of our favorite ways to welcome spring outside: 1. Hastings Lake Park, Lake Villa: This new park just opened this spring by the Lake County Forest Preserve COMMUNITY District and is one of the best VOICE playgrounds in Lake County.

Melissa With a turf surface perfect for Haak my new walker and multiple levels and structures of play, the whole gang enjoys it. There are also paved paths around Hastings Lake and clean, real (no pits!) bathrooms.

2. Chicago Botanic Gardens, Glencoe: We have a membership to this crown jewel of the suburban area. My children love exploring the new learning gardens and participating in their family drop-in activities. We also are big fans of the model train garden. On May 24, the Butterflies and Blooms exhibits opens again, giving you an up close and personal look at hundreds of butterflies.

3. Independence Grove, Libertyville: A favorite family summer tradition is to grab donuts from Lee’s Donuts and go eat them at Independence Grove. Dad takes the big kids to the playground to enjoy the park before the tires get too hot, and mom enjoys a run around the lake with the baby. It’s a perfect family outing.

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

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

How do you get outside and have fun in the spring? You can find more information on these locations and more at www. littlelakecounty.com.

Melissa Haak blogs about fun and educational activities kids and their parents can enjoy in or close to Lake County. She lives in Grayslake with her husband and children.

Barrington 220 schools foundation steps forward

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – The Barrington 220 Education Foundation has approved two major projects to fund for the school district in the upcoming 2014-15 school year – Project Lead the Way at Barrington middle schools and the Business Incubator at Barrington High School.

Each project proposal was submitted to the foundation

by Barrington 220 administrators who have sought ideas from school staff. A committee of foundation board members and various community members were charged with making a recommendation for the approval of trustees, according to a foundation news release.

As approved, a Project Lead the Way Gateway to Technology project will be funded with $40,000 to extend Barrington High School’s pre-engineering program to the students of Station and Prairie middle schools. This project will fully replace the current technology lab exploratory segment at those middle schools and extend pre-engineering education to sixth- through

eighth-graders, according to the release.

Prairie Middle School exploratory team lead Steve Taylor said the new project will be a “rigorous, 21st-century standards-based, nationwide curriculum that focuses on developing technology literate students through the study of engineering, architecture, robotics and bio-medical sciences.”

The second approved project – a second year of business Incubator funding at $12,500 – will continue to allow Barrington High School students to test their entrepreneurial skills. New as of the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, students have had the opportunity to create and fully develop their own product or service.

Business experts have served as coaches while community mentors guide students through the business start up process of ideation, market research and plan development.

Having committed to fund the business Incubator project for 4 years, the foundation is beginning to raise funds through special events and private donations.

Emil’s Tavern on Center is a great place to get a meal and watch a game in Grayslake.

Tasty options abound at Emil’s Tavern on Center GRAYSLAKE – If you’re in town, and you want to sit down and have a great sandwich, Emil’s Tavern on Center is a terrific option.

If you also want to watch a sporting event on a massive projection screen TV, then Emil’s is the perfect option.

I stopped by on a recent afternoon with a couple of coworkers for lunch, and while there weren’t any particularly thrilling games taking place at that time, there still was a good crowd at Emil’s. So while the awesome TV screen clearly is a draw, it was plain that it wasn’t the only thing attracting folks to the restaurant.

Perusing the menu, it was clear immediately that Emil’s is a good place to get some appetizers and drinks with some friends. The “Pre-Game Warmup” portion of the menu is extensive – wings, nachos, quesadillas, chicken tenders, mussels ... and that’s not even half of it.

Since it was lunchtime, we went straight for the burgers and sandwiches. Distracted by an important phone call (rude, I know, but I swear it was really important), I had to rush my selection and landed on my old standby, a Reuben. With corned beef, thousand island dressing and sauerkraut and grilled nicely, it’s hard to believe some restaurants manage to mess up such perfection, but

The veggie burger at Emil’s Tavern in Grayslake isn’t just some piece of soy product trying to imitate beef – it’s a patty made from fresh celery, carrots, bell peppers, onions, garbanzo beans, brown rice flour and sunflower seeds. they do. Fortunately, Emil’s knew what they were doing – piling on the ingredients in perfect proportion so no one flavor overwhelmed the others. Along with some cole

slaw and a generous portion of fries, I ended up getting a second meal out of it.

One of my coworkers is a vegetarian, so she picked the veggie burger. She explained

that the veggie burgers usually available at grocery stores typically are trying, and failing, to emulate meat, but the patties at Emil’s are something special. They’re made from fresh celery, carrots, bell peppers, onions, garbanzo beans, brown rice flour and sunflower seeds. Even as a devoted carnivore, I had to admit that sounded good, and she said it was very good.

Our other coworker chose the Cubano, another staple of restaurants everywhere, and wouldn’t you know, Emil’s was 3-for-3 in pleasing our lunchtime party. The wrap was filled with pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickle and honey mustard, and it definitely looked as tasty as he said it was.

If you’re coming to Emil’s at dinnertime and not interested in a sandwich, wrap or burger, they’ve also got a selection of great-sounding salads, including a grilled chicken Santa Fe salad, a blackened steak Caesar salad, and a Julienne salad, among others. And if you’ve already had your fill of leafy greens for the day, there’s an extensive pizza menu, with all manner of sizes, crusts and toppings available.

There also are chicken and rib dinners, and a Friday night fish fry special and Saturday night prime rib special listed on the menu.

The consensus as we left was that we’d had a great meal, and no one wanted to go back to the office. Well, at least we had a great meal ...

“Every time we take the field, I want people to believe that Barrington is a special baseball program and is difficult to beat. I guess every game is like a playoff game to me.”

BARRINGTON – It is down to that time of year again as postseason play gets underway in high school baseball and Pat Wire softball. Barrington teams are looking good heading into reBarrington head coach gional play with each having a chance of advancing into the sectional round and beyond.

Here is a look at what baseThe other half of the region- last season. ball and softball are up against al has No. 2 Jacobs facing No. 3 “I feel the regional is loadwhen regional play gets started. Cary-Grove. ed with great programs again.

Barrington played both of Do I feel pressure? Every time those teams earlier this season we take the field, I want people Baseball The Broncos have drawn the with a 4-3 win at Jacobs coming to believe that Barrington is a top overall seed in the Class 4A April 9 and a 5-4 eight-inning special baseball program and Crystal Lake South Regional loss coming at Cary-Grove the is difficult to beat,” Wire said.

“I guess every game is like a and will open play at 4:30 p.m. next day.

We especially after what happened defeated them. Do I think we No. 5 Crystal Lake Central.

upset Cary last year? No I do not. Overall, and I believe the coaches in our regional would agree, that the seeds don’t really matter much in this loaded regional.”

If the Broncos do get out of the regional (the final is at 3 p.m. May 31), they would move on to the McHenry sectional at 6:30 p.m. June 4 against the winner of the Rockford Guilford regional.

Softball The Fillies made it within one win of the state championship game last season. While it hasn’t been as good of a season in 2014, Barrington was still awarded the top seed in the Class 4A Cary-Grove regional.

The Fillies play their first game at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday against the winner of the play-in game be-

tween No. 5 Crystal Lake Central and fourth-seeded Jacobs.

The other side of the bracket has No. 2 Cary-Grove facing No. 3 Crystal Lake South. The only team in the group Barrington has faced is Jacobs, which defeated the Fillies, 7-3, April 1.

A Fillies victory in the semifinal would move them to the championship game at 4:30 p.m. May 30. The regional champs go on to face the winner of the Rockford Guilford regional at 4:30 p.m. June 4 in Algonquin.

The scheduling was favorable for Barrington fans. They have an opportunity to see all four of Barrington’s possible regional games, with baseball playing Wednesday and Saturday and softball playing Tuesday and Friday.
