By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – A harsh winter has set back construction on the $247 million expansion and modernization of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, but officials think the time can be made up.

Since the overhaul started in October, the elevator shafts have risen on the north side of the existing hospital where a new building will house private patient rooms. Workers also have done some of the interior work to update the 35-year-old hospital and realign services to create greater efficiencies.

The work will continue in those areas over the next several months, continuing to construct the north building and finishing the testing center and some administrative areas, Allison Wyler, the executive sponsor of the modernization project, said.

Crews also will take advantage of the warmer weather to do some site work near the pond near the front side of the hospital as well as other parts of the campus, she said.

“To the eye, you’re going to see a lot on that north side,” Wyler said. “Literally, over the next couple of months, you’ll see structure, and it goes quick.”

The hospital will be fully operational through the rest of

Construction crews work on an addition to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. The $247 million expansion and modernization project is expected to be completed in 2017. the project, which will be completed in 2017, said Karen Lambert, the president of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

To ensure no services are impacted, the hospital has been shuffling services and offices around, hospital spokeswoman Lisa O’Neil said.

The hospital also is providing free valet service to patients so they can avoid longer walks from the parking lots, Lambert said.

Once the renovation is complete, the hospital’s layout will

be much more convenient for patients, Wyler said.

The plans are designed to bring like services closer together and integrate services better, bringing some from offsite and rearranging departments so patients don’t have to go from one end of the hospital to the other, she said. It also allows hospital staff to be more efficient.

The changes also reflect an increased emphasis on outpatient services, Lambert said.

modernization project was first being planned, 50 more beds were going to be added, but as health care changed and hospitals across the country focused on decreasing readmission rates – in part due to the Affordable Care Act – hospital officials no longer saw a need for the additional beds, she said.

The expansion includes seven more beds, increasing the count to 176, with all of the new beds in the intensive care unit.

The hospital also is mak-

ing strides in its fundraising, Lambert said.

It has raised over $19 million, about three-quarters of the way to its $25 million goal, she said. The Advocate Health Care System will cover the rest of the bill.

“The community has been very supportive of the project, and we’ve seen that in the philanthropic dollars and in terms of talking about it,” Lambert said. “The No. 1 thing people talk about is private rooms.

There’s a lot of excitement about that.”

Hospital staff has been seeing a need for private rooms daily, she said. Every day, an average of eight to 15 beds go unused because patients can’t have roommates.

Private rooms also lead to decreased lengths of stay and minimize infection issues, Lambert said.

About 100 women descended on Independence Grove in Libertyville on June 11 for the fifth annual Wild Woman Triathlon organized by Barrington-based Trailbound Trips.

Messy and full of pride Women’s triathlon ‘an absolute riot’

By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life Contributor LIBERTYVILLE – Neither a little, or in this case, quite a bit, of rain could keep participants from enjoying the Wild Woman Triathlon.

On June 11, about 100 women descended on Independence Grove in Libertyville for the fifth annual Wild Woman Triathlon organized by Barrington-based Trailbound Trips.

The women kayaked 1.5 miles, walked or ran 3.1 miles and biked 13 miles, some through thigh-high standing water along the Des Plaines River. The bike route eventually was altered to accommodate for the rain.

“These women look at adversity as a challenge,” said Carol Ruhter, Barrington resident and founder of Trailbound Trips, adding the group knew from experience if there was a substantial amount of

rain – like there was on June 11 – it could pose a problem.

The poor weather became part of this noncompetitive race. Ruhter said the women were having so much fun getting dirty that getting as dirty as possible became something to be proud of.

Ruhter started the triathlon in 2010 because she wanted to do a triathlon but didn’t want to have to be so competitive about it.

“I really just wanted to feel proud of my efforts and see what I could do and have a good time,” Ruhter said.

Getting women out to feel good about themselves at every age, as well as encourage each other, was the basis for Ruhter’s founding of Trailbound Trips. Although she started in 1996 offering day hiking trips just one day each week, she now offers hikes and bike rides Tuesday through Saturday in the spring, fall and winter. She also offers

Midwest getaways throughout the year and week-long hiking trips as well.

“We really celebrate women,” Ruhter said. “There’s a lot of that camaraderie … It’s just really a celebration. They celebrate their abilities and that they are able to be outdoors and active and they celebrate others.”

For Donna Lill, a Kildeer resident, camaraderie is what makes events like the Wild Woman Triathlon so enjoyable. In addition to seeing several friends at the event, she also made some new ones.

“It’s fun,” Lill said. “It’s an absolute riot to get all those women together. It’s a really spirited activity with really positive attitudes.”

She added it is nice to find herself among so many like-minded women – those who love the outdoors.

Barrington resident Jamie Ruggles participated in the triathlon for the second year in

a row and loves trying something new and feeling the support of other women, even if this year’s weather provided a challenge all on its own.

“It’s a great test of what you can do,” Ruggles said.

“It’s about bragging rights.

It’s about saying ‘look what I did.’”

Lake Barrington resident and friend of Ruggles, Lauren DeJesu also participated for the second time this year. She said it is really the people who make these events so fun.

“It’s such a diverse group of people,” DeJesu said. “And everybody supports each other.”

Ruggles added the group is so supportive, and participants don’t let anyone fail.

“Nobody complains in this group,” she said. “I think that’s one of the nice things.”

BARRINGTON – High school observation students are quickly learning hospital work is nothing like how Hollywood portrays it.

Under the guidance of dozens of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital medical professionals, 10 local students are spending three weeks of their summer vacation participating in a Future Healthcare Professionals Program.

The high school seniors have been selected through an extensive application and interview process to observe the medical field at large – everything from nursing to being a physician, surgeon, therapist, radiologist, pharmacist, dietitian, lab technician and more.

Dr. Barry Rosen, vice president of medical management at Good Shepherd, said the longtime program is a unique opportunity for high school students who otherwise would not be able to observe the different health care roles in action.

“There is so much happening within the hospital,” Rosen said, adding the students may choose a different career path than they had planned after being exposed to a variety of occupations.

Barrington student Koral Shah said she knows she wants to be a physician but still is trying to choose a category of practice.

Shah is attending the program in conjunction with working part time at an ice cream store this summer.

“I just really appreciate the opportunity,” Shah said.

“I didn’t know there were so many departments in a hospital. All my friends are vacationing, but I enjoy working and getting to know the other students.”

Program co-chairs Wendy Perlin and Jan Preston explained the students observe hospital staff from about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, learning more about

specific health care professions, job outlook, required education and annual salaries before journaling and working on a group research project in the later afternoon.

The students were select-

ed based on a written application, submitted transcripts and letters of reference. They also interviewed with a panel of hospital associates before beginning the program. At the end of week three, the stu-

dents will present a research project covering a current health care, ethics, modern medicine or management issue. They are evaluated on their ability to be safe, responsive, respectful, professional,

accountable and collaborative in a hospital setting.

More than 50 students applied this year, Perlin said, adding most high school students, let alone college students, never would have access to such a program.

“Our college interns have already selected an area of study when they are placed within the hospital,” Perlin said. “The observation program is much more broad.”

Good Shepherd hospital in Barrington is staffed with more than 700 physicians representing 50 medical specialties – doctors who display professionalism day in and day out, according to Jacobs student Samir Khowaja.

Khowaja said he expected to find hospital workers were always stressed based on what he had seen on TV. “The doctors are all so calm here,” Khowaja said, adding that he most enjoys connecting with new patients.

“The patients always ask me if they’ll see me again when I visit,” Khowaja said.

“It’s neat. The day is long and tiring, but it’s worth it. I know I’m building a better mindset – a better self every day.”

Khowaja had just witnessed a kidney biopsy before journaling that day, he said.

Lake Zurich student Austin Keller, too, said the program already has been life changing.

“I have friends that are in summer school, and that’s great, but I know that I’m going to learn and retain more from this program than I would in a classroom,” Keller said.

Keller said he looks forward to having experience to write about when applying to colleges this year.

The Future Healthcare Professionals Program panel accepted two more students than usual this year. Other students are attending from Mundelein, Stevenson, St. Viator, Marian Central and Cary Grove high schools. Applications are available to juniors each February.

IN THEIR LIFE

KENNETH “CHIP” BATKO BARRINGTON HIGH SCHOOL DIRECTOR OF VOCAL MUSIC

PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW

What-if question leads to new job Barrington High School graduate Kenneth “Chip” Batko begins his role as the school’s director of vocal music July 1.

Batko, who obtained a bachelor’s degree in choral music education from Millikin University and a master’s degree in music education from VanderCook College of Music, succeeds choral director Nancie Tobison whom began at the school in 1996 and retired this spring.

Barrington Suburban Life reporter Tarah Thorne asked Batko about his former work at Reed-Custer High School and his plans for the Barrington’s choir program.

Batko: I found out through some family and friends that Nancie (Tobison) was retiring at the end of the 2014 school year.

As a graduate of Barrington High School and a member of the choir program, I couldn’t help but ask myself Kenneth “What if?”

Batko The BHS choir program inspired me to become a music educator myself, so I thought it would be amazing to come home and share my passion for music and teaching with the students of BHS.

Thorne: What led you to Barrington High School?

Thorne: What did you most enjoy during your seven years teaching

at Reed-Custer High School? What accomplishments are you most proud of?

Batko: I enjoyed seeing the students’ growth from year to year. At Reed-Custer High School, I taught many of the students from sixth grade through their senior years. It was very rewarding to see their musical growth firsthand for such a long span of time. Although my class next year will all be at the high school level, I am looking forward to becoming familiar and supportive of the elementary and middle school Barrington 220 choir programs.

At Reed-Custer High School, I’m most proud of restructuring the annual madrigal dinner so as to enhance

the experience for performers and audience members; instituting, creating and directing the annual Broadway Review, receiving a Division I Excellent Rating at the Illinois High School Association Organizational Contest each year our school attended; creating the middle school madrigal ensemble in 2011 which has served as a feeder program to the high school ensemble; and being voted teacher of the month in April 2012 and March 2013.

Thorne: How is BHS similar and different from Reed-Custer? What do you look forward to at BHS? Batko: The schools are similar in that students have the ability to be involved in many different activities and

classes. Both are very studentcentered schools. However, BHS has eight periods and Reed-Custer has seven. BHS has over 3,000 students while Reed-Custer has 450.

I’m looking forward to working with the talented students in the community, in addition to collaborating with other fine arts staff to give the students the best experience possible.

Thorne: What music groups will you be in charge of? What big events will you plan?

Batko: I will oversee Select Ensemble, Concert Choir, Chamber Choir and Senior A Capella. I will plan the following: four curricular

Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District personnel met with 3- and 4-year-olds June 10 at St. Mark’s Day School in Barrington Hills to discuss fire safety in the home.

Firefighters visit school, display safety program SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON HILLS – Young children at St. Mark’s Day School in Barrington Hills learned important fire safety tips June 10.

The 3- and 4-year-olds heard a presentation by Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District personnel, according to a news release.

Firefighter-paramedics

were joined by their friend, a puppet named Timmy the Turtle, to discuss a range of important topics, including fire danger, smoke detectors and safe emergency evacuation.

Lt. Angela Grandgeorge said children are like sponges, wanting to learn as much as they can.

Grandgeorge said the crew was able to provide the children with information to share

with their families so fire safety is discussed at home.

The district encourages all families to install working smoke detectors on every level of the home and in all sleeping rooms, change batteries twice a year, develop and practice an escape plan, cook with care and get out of the house immediately to call 911 if a fire occurs, according to the release.

Thorne: What BHS music groups were you involved with as a student?

Batko: I was in Chamber Choir, Senior A Capella and Madrigals, in addition to the BHS band and theater program.

Thorne: Do you live in the area?

What do you most enjoy about the Barrington community?

Batko: I currently live in Plainfield but plan to relocate to Barrington over the summer. I most enjoy the history of the Barrington community and its high school, in addition to the pride and support exhibited throughout the community.

Thorne: Describe a day in your shoes as a high school music director. What’s a good day?

Batko: A typical day for me involves planning and preparing for teaching students new music reading and musicianship techniques. A good day consists of observing students discover and develop their passion for music and fine arts.

Thorne: What do you enjoy outside of work?

Batko: I like spending time with family and friends, attending theatrical shows in the area whenever possible.

Thorne: Any special plans for the summer break?

Batko: I will be going to Florida for a week in July.

However, most of my time will be spent planning for the upcoming school year.

Thorne: Where did you nickname “Chip” come from?

Batko: My father and I share the same name. Because of this, I have been known as a “chip off the old block.”

BARRINGTON – Just as Carol Hood knows when someone has found “the dress,” she knows it is time for her to do something different.

After more than 24 years in business, Hood will close A L’Amour, a bridal boutique located at 236 West Northwest Highway in Barrington, at the end of the month.

“It’s time,” Hood said. “…

You know when you’re ready.”

Before opening her store on Valentine’s Day 1990, both Hood and her then high-school aged daughter Amy Kazar worked at another bridal shop and special occasion store. Hood said she wasn’t comfortable with her daughter being left alone to close the store at night, so she started coming in and vacuuming while Kazar did her closing duties. Eventually, Hood starting working at the shop and even became manager.

A L’Amour bridal boutique is closing at 236 West Northwest Highway in Barrington at the end of June. The shop first opened doors in the Foundry in 1990.

When the owners of that shop told Hood they weren’t ready to sell, Hood and Kazar ventured out onto their own.

Although Kazar left full-time employment with A L’Amour about 12 years ago to pursue a career in web development, she still handles the A L’Amour website.

A L’Amour will have a closing sale through June 30. What is in store is what they have left.

Although ready to see what is next for her, Hood will miss her customers, many of whom have returned to her for all of their special occasions over the past 24 years.

“I think probably helping families (is what I’ll miss most),” Hood said. “It’s not just individuals, but families selecting dresses for special occasions.”

While the shop is mostly bridal, it also offers things like communion, prom and even 50th anniversary dresses.

“When they know (it’s the dress), there’s definitely an emotional reaction and it’s often very touching,” Hood said.

Hood said over the years, she has seen many repeat customers. With the kind of business she operates, her customers only come in during those special times.

“In the last three to five years, there have been an awful lot of women that come back for a wedding dress that hadn’t been in since prom or communion,” Hood said.

Although Hood did consider selling A L’Amour, ultimately, she decided against it.

“I wanted to leave it how it is and the reputation it has,”

she said. “… I wanted to close on my own terms.”

Although not entirely sure what is next for her once she closes those doors, Hood knows she’ll spend some time just being grandma. And she gives herself six months to experiment with things, like bridal blogging, to decide what she wants to do next.

“It’s that constant in my life that is going to be gone,” Hood said.

One final event A L’Amour will participate in is Brides Across American on June 29.

According to Brides Across America, brides dream of having the perfect dress and a beautiful gown is an essential part of every bride’s special day. Brides Across America plays a role in making their dreams come true by giving a military bride a free wedding gown during a Brides Across America’s Nationwide Gown Giveaway.

BARRINGTON – Computers were reported missing from Barrington High School, 616 W. Main St., just days before the end of the school year.

According to a June 3 police report, Barrington police are investigating two cases of missing items – one case being a student tablet and another being 58 Apple MacBook Air laptops.

The tablet was reported lost or stolen from a student while the laptops were reported missing from a storage closet, according to Barrington Police.

School spokeswoman Morgan Delack said the June 3 tablet incident is separate from the laptop incident, which was brought to school attention May 21. Delack said it’s unclear whether or not the laptops were taken by someone

within or outside of the school district.

The laptops were extra, to be used only if a student’s leased laptop was broken, and kept in a locked, storage closet, Delack said.

Technology theft has not been a reoccurring issue, Delack said, adding the cost to the school district will be minimal ($2,500) since all laptops were insured.

As a result of the case, the school is “re-examining its internal security and reviewing surveillance videos.” The laptops were still in their original packaging, according to a news release.

Barrington Police Chief David Dorn confirmed that theft has not been common in the school district. Dorn said this investigation has just begun, with police requesting information for each device. The approximate value of all items was $60,652, Dorn said.

As frequent readers of this column know, my husband wants a dog. I am not stopping him, although I have put up one major proviso: First, I have to die. It’s not that I don’t love dogs. I raised two but have no empty-leash syndrome.

Since I’m an ogre and will not allow my spouse to receive the happiness he desires from a canine, I suggested he find his animal-derived pleasure wherever he could. He is imaginative. He quickly found it amid the lively rodents who frequent our backyard. He discovered chipmunks.

A chipmunk is an amazing, if not amusing, creature.

Lady Wildlife’s website tells us, “It can carry nine large nuts at a time: four in each cheek pouch and one between its teeth.” I also learned on the site that, “After mating, the male leaves the female to bear and rear the young on her own.” In other words, the males are jerks.

However amusing these creatures seemed, my husband noted from his chair on our deck that their favorite pastimes were to eat our seeds, bulbs and garden plants. They also burrow, so he figured they’d possibly damage our retaining wall and ruin our concrete patio.

The poor man, having spent too much of his retirement planting seeds and bulbs, building a retaining wall, and justifying the cost of our patio, decided his days of chipmunk recreational viewing were not fun.

He bought a cage. He put an apple core in the cage. One hapless chipmunk went in. He ate the apple core. Then, there he was, staring at us, validating that this was indeed an unentertaining venture all around.

OFF THE DEEP END Judi Veoukas “Now what?” I asked the chipmunk jailer.

“I’m going to release him in the woods, not near any houses.” It had to be a “him” because his female significant other was too busy tending to the family that he’d left behind.

That night he put “Alvin” and the cage inside the trunk of our car. He quickly took him far, far away. Two other men, one clad in pajamas and a robe, were also releasing chipmunks.

“Fourteenth this year,” the pajama man said.

“Twenty-seventh,” the other guy bragged.

“My first,” my hubby told them.

“Rookie,” they both said in unison. “You’ll be back.”

“Naw,” he said. “I think they’ll have learned their lesson from this guy.”

He came home and put the trap out anyway.

The next night he took two more male chipmunks to the woods. And so it went for most of last summer and now again this year.

The chipmunks keep coming into our cage, probably because my husband is a truly gentle soul and gives them nice apple cores, smooth trunk rides and easy releases.

Most likely, they’ve spread the word. Or maybe they just want to go far, far away from their families, never to be found again. Perhaps in order to escape child support payments?

Tips revealed bilingual bash, cutoff utilities A newspaper cannot survive without readers. We depend on your tips. Years ago, in a New Mexico town, a reader approached me in a restaurant and informed me that a school district’s bilingual department held a $10,000 party for school employees. It was adults-only, invitation-only.

Paid for with students’ money. No students allowed.

Half of the money went for catering by a school board member’s restaurant. After we requested documents on the spending, including bids for the catering contract, a school district employee – a reader – told me the bilingual director was producing false documents OUT HERE showing purported bids from David a number of other restauGiuliani rants.

The owners of the other restaurants said they never bid on the party.

The state investigated and discovered misspending of federal bilingual funds. A grand jury indicted a number of officials.

The bilingual director was convicted.

My last job was in Sterling, Ill., which is south of Rockford.

From a nearby town, a man behind on his bills called to tell me his city utility warned that it would cut off his electricity the next day – when temperatures were forecast to stay below zero all day long. In Illinois, it’s against the law for a utility to cut off power in freezing weather. I called city hall, and the city administrator insisted that no one’s power was turned off in such conditions.

We issued a Freedom of Information Act request for all cutoffs in the previous month. Much of the information was blacked out, but it appeared as if three customers had their electricity cut off in very cold weather.

After confronting the administrator with that information, she conceded that the municipal utility, indeed, had broken the law. In both of these examples, readers were the key. We would have never been able to report the problems without tips from readers.

Five months ago, I moved from Sterling to Wauconda. Recently, I took the job as news editor of Lake County Suburban Life (the old Lake County Journal) and Barrington Suburban Life.

When good things happen, government and others will let the public know. And we can easily get that information out.

When problems arise, though, our leaders often aren’t so forward. That’s why we depend on readers. Are there things you think other readers should know about? Let us know.

I was dismayed to read a submission regarding not allowing a woman to beg for money in a church parking lot. Where should this woman go that begging would be deemed more appropriate? I would gather that this woman thought if she wanted to find compassion or mercy, she would find it at a church and in those that attended. I’ve had to beg for food as a little girl.

And I can tell you that it is a very humbling experience to put one’s self there, and no, not all people respond compassionately. Isn’t that what the Bible and Christianity teach us, not to judge another, to show compassion and mercy toward the poor and hungry? I’ve been out of work, we all struggle sometimes. Yet, I still give what I can, when I can. I don’t attend the church, yet,[I] will look for her next Sunday, and if she’s there, do what I can to help her.

Event chair Jan Goss did a superlative job with planning and communicating the day’s needs.

The village’s police department provided the safety tips and road security for our determined volunteers.

Independent of the committee’s roadside pickup, neighbors could be seen all over Barrington Hills sprucing up our great outdoors. Two examples are the Plum Tree Road Friends and the Bateman Circle Road Association. Each picked up a number of large, orange bags filled with trash blown from garbage trucks, tossed out windows and discarded by bicyclists.

All the efforts within the village are very appreciated. Our fall roadside pickup is scheduled for Oct. 18.

We have so many to thank for so much roadside debris collected in Barrington Hills.

One of our village’s central corridors, County Line Road (also known as Lake Cook Road), had its Earth Week spring trash pickup April 26. Our small but sturdy crew (some of Barrington Hills’ cleanest and greenest folks!) tidied up our village by collecting 72 orange bags of roadside debris, one black bag of discarded trash, one box, two tires, one rusty utility locator sign, one bent 50 mph speed limit sign and assorted trash.

Sponsored by the village of Barrington Hills Heritage and Environs Committee, headed by P. Denise Israel, our semiannual cleanup fielded six teams led by team captains, including Barrington Hills Trustee Karen Selman, committee member Donato Cantalupo, Laurie Abboud, Chuck Prettyman, committee member Jennifer Kainz and Rudy Stevens.

Volunteers included a cross-section of our village, including Barrington High School P. Denise Israel Chairwoman, Heritage and Environs and middle school students, Committee trustee Harrington’s family, Barrington Hills

Restaurant reviews

Enjoy fine American cuisine at Millrose Restaurant SOUTH BARRINGTON – What if one of those country-style highway restaurants decided to upgrade to a fine dining experience?

Well, chances are a chain restaurant trying something like that wouldn’t fare too well. But if they did manage the impossible, it would probably look something like the Millrose Restaurant in South Barrington.

I was part of a trio looking for dinner after a day spent perusing the booths at the Barrington Art Festival. We had a tasty lunch at the festival itself, but by dinnertime we were headed south and looking for something a little more upscale.

By the time we reached Interstate 90, the sign that had most captured our interest on Barrington Road was for Millrose, so after a quick U-turn we found our way back to the South Barrington eatery.

My companions wanted to check out the attached shop, Rose’s Country Store, which gave me time to put in a reservation for dinner. I don’t know for sure that the reservation was needed, but by the time we ate there was a good crowd, so reservations are probably a good idea.

The shop is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, with many appealing items.

We gave ourselves plenty of time to browse before our reservation slot, so we were truly ravenous by the time we settled in to eat.

Bread and a crudité plate arrived swiftly, and an appetizer order soon followed. We opted for the sampler, since our tastes varied and it was the surest way to make sure everyone was pleased. I particularly enjoyed the sausage and the stuffed mushrooms, but everything in the sampler was terrific. I’d definitely recommend it.

For entrees, I chose the chicken Milanese, while one of my compatriots chose the pecan walleye pike and the other chose the swordfish off

The chicken Milanese is parmesan herb-crusted chicken breast topped with fresh mozzarella and roasted red pepper and served with lemony spinach and roasted garlic mashed potatoes.

The Millrose sampler includes ribs, sausage, meatballs, wings and stuffed mushrooms. too. We placed orders for the the specials list. Our waiter was glad to suggest which wines would best pair with our meal selections, and we were happy to take advantage of his recommendations.

It’s safe to say that all three meals went over like gangbusters. I was a big fan of the way the mozzarella and red pepper accompanied the

flavor of the chicken, and the lemony spinach was especially tasty. I might have to see if I can replicate that flavor at home.

My companions were just as pleased with their choices.

These entrees didn’t stand a chance against our appetites.

Believe it or not, we somehow found room for dessert,

pistachio pie, the Kahlua lava cake and the milk chocolate bourbon pecan pie. I really enjoyed the pecan pie immensely, and the other desserts were soon polished off, too.

Millrose was built by William R. Rose, owner of Rose Packing Co. The structure was created by combining six 125-year-old barns into the restaurant, banquet

rooms and the country store.

It all adds up to a unique and highly enjoyable dining experience.

Outdoor movie helps children SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – Movie & A Cause, an outdoor movie in the park fundraiser, was held June 12 at the Citizens Park Amphitheater in Barrington.

The JourneyCare Youth Advisory Board presented the film “Night at the Museum,” which was family friendly and rated PG. The show began at dusk. Concessions were onsite and provided by the local candy shop, SweetSpot.

A suggested donation of $5 was requested for attendance. Proceeds were donated to JourneyCare’s Camp Courage, which is now in its 20th year of providing a summer day camp to children who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

The show ended around 10 p.m.

JourneyCare, established in 1982, provides end-of-life care and pain and symptom management to thousands of patients and families in McHenry, Lake, Cook, DuPage, Kane, Boone, Will, Winnebago, DeKalb and Kendall counties each year – regardless of their ability to pay.

• POLICE Continued from page 13 Drug paraphernalia A 15-year-old Lake Barrington male was charged June 8 with possession of drug paraphernalia at 415 N. Hough St.

DUI Tricia Henry, 46, of the 100 block of Sturtz St., Barrington, was arrested May 31 at Sturtz and Hough streets on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood-alcohol content more than 0.08, improper lane use and failure to signal.

Chicago, schools don’t pay the employer portion of pensions; the state does.

So teachers in wealthier districts, who typically are paid more, collect more in retirement, meaning more money from the state.

“These are state income taxes that make these contributions,” said Ted Dabrowski, the institute’s vice president of policy. “These taxes aren’t distributed based on need. We should be distributing those dollars based on need.”

Institute’s report called ‘wrong’ Dave Urbanek, spokesman for the Teachers Retirement System, said the institute’s report tells nothing.

“It’s not based on any measurement that anyone else recognizes. To say a wealthier district benefits is wrong,” he said. “They don’t get the money; it’s the teachers who benefit from it. They’re putting in 9.4 percent.”

Guitar found An unclaimed guitar, that was left in a classroom at Barrington High School, 616 W. Main St., was turned in June 9 to the Barrington Police Department for safekeeping.

which favors wealthy districts, the institute said.

But Urbanek of the pension system said his agency doesn’t see a problem. The state’s pension payments, he said, are not “driven by the district.

They’re driven by what people earn.”

Dabrowski said Urbanek is wrong. He said taxpayers statewide are suffering the consequences when a wealthy district, for instance, pays a gym teacher $150,000 in his final years.

“The district will pay three or four years, but it won’t have the cost for the next 30 years,” he said. “The state will.”

State Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, opposes transferring the employer’s payments to local school districts.

“I’m not for shifting part of the pension costs to the local entity,” he said. “Lake County has the 15th highest property taxes in the country. We can’t go back to the taxpayers and ask them to pay more.”

BUFFALO HERD ESTABLISHED 1973

WHY BUFFALO?

Suspended license Clare Logue, 557, of the 800 block of Concord Lane, Barrington, was arrested June 14 at Northwest Highway and Berry Road on charges of improper lane use, driving on a suspended license and no insurance.

The institute expects the state pension contributions to increase in coming decades to cover normal costs and repay years of underfunding. As the payments increase, they will start to crowd out general state aid, according to the institute.

In 2017, state contributions to the Teachers Retirement System will start exceeding general state aid spending, the group predicts.

The solution, the institute said, is transferring responsibility for employer’s payments from the state to the local districts, making them accountable for their decisions on salaries.

“When the state pays the normal cost of teachers’ pensions, it is letting school districts off the hook for spending decisions they made,” the report said. “Because districts do not fully pay for their decisions, there is no incentive for the school districts to exercise fiscal restraint.”

That would end a system

GETTING TO KNOW | PERRY PETERSON

BHS softball coach maintains success

By TIM SIECK Barrington Suburban Life Contributor

where scoring runs is easier and scoring lots of them is one of the greatest keys to success.

In a new segment called “Getting to Know,” Barrington Suburban Life will regularly profile a Barrington High School coach or athlete.

This week, contributor Tim Sieck sat down with softball coach Perry Peterson who just completed his 22nd season Perry coaching the Peterson Fillies.

Sieck: Who have been your mentors?

Peterson: My mentors were Bruce Bazsali, physical education teacher and head softball coach in the late 1980s at Prospect High School; Gary Lagesse, head softball coach of the three-time state champions at Thornwood High School; and Ken Grams, hall of fame coach at Elk Grove High School.

Sieck: Why did you decide to coach softball?

Peterson: My sister Pam played competitive softball growing up. Back then, the game was slow-pitch softball until fast pitch took over in high school. With my background going to Pam’s games, I asked the Prospect freshman softball coach Bruce Bazsali if I could help him coach the freshman softball team at Prospect in the spring of 1986. He accepted, and so began my humble coaching career.

Sieck: What has changed the most in high school softball since you started coaching?

Peterson: The biggest change has been the change to the pitching distance from 40 feet to 43 feet. That has made our game more offensive in nature

Sieck: Barrington softball is one of the best programs in the state.

Why is it so successful?

Peterson: The program is consistently good due to the commitment of the players and their families. Being successful at anything in life is never easy. It takes tremendous effort and dedication to common goals that brings groups of girls together to succeed as one unit.

Sieck: What advice would you give young future Fillies on what it takes to succeed in Barrington softball?

Peterson: Younger Fillies softball players must develop the passion to compete. The game continues to be a challenging one, so finding a true desire for improvement and personal development is critical for each girl who has aspirations to play varsity softball some day.

Sieck: In your 23 years of coaching, is there one game that stands out?

Peterson: One game that stands out was in my first season at BHS when we won the state quarterfinal game at the IHSA state finals vs.

Oak Park 3-2. We were heavy underdogs. Just kept pushing onward and came up with a big hit late in the game and a defensive catcher pickoff in the seventh inning to seal the victory.

Sieck: Although your season ended June 9, the summer season is right around the corner. For the fans in the community who might not be aware of the summer league, can you explain what it is, when you play games and how they can give support?

Peterson: The summer season runs during the months of June and July for our 18U Barrington Hurricanes and 16U Barrington Typhoons, all students from Barrington High School. Each team plays every weekend at a variety of tournaments. The older girls travel to two events in Colorado which they tend to share as the highlight of their summer. The community can support our teams with their attendance at our Tuesday night and Wednesday night home games at the school’s Fields of Dreams complex. Game times every Tuesday and Wednesday are at 6 p.m. for the doubleheader.

Huntley athletic director Michelle Jakubowski will be named Barrington’s new girls volleyball coach, according to sources in Huntley’s School District 158.

Jakubowski declined comment in a text message, but her position is advertised on the website k12jobspot.com as “Anticipated High School

Athletic Director.” Jakubowski has held the position for the past two years and coached volleyball for the Red Raiders in the six years previous to that.

Before becoming AD, Jakubowski taught math at Huntley. Her Huntley teams were 149-75 in six seasons and won three Class 4A regional titles. Prior to Huntley, she coached at Lake Zurich (200002) and Winnebago (1994-99).

She has more than 300 career victories.

During her time as coach, Jakubowski worked as assistant athletic director under former AD Bruce Blumer. She then took over as AD when Blumer retired after the 201112 school year.

Jakubowski, who played college volleyball at NCAA Division I Northeastern Illinois University, will be replacing Rob Ridenour.
