By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Dave Hertog, a local private investigator, enjoys a good stakeout – minus the donuts.

Celebrating 17 years of business, Hertog and Associates Inc. continues to grow in the area. The Fremd High School alum, U.S. Army veteran and FBI-trained businessman attributes his company’s success to the skills possessed by both himself and his parttime staff.

“It’s all about reputation,” Hertog said. “There’s no real oath of privacy for investigators, but I decided I wanted my profession to be considered reputable in all areas.

My clients know they aren’t going to see their name being discussed in the news 10 years from now.”

Hertog is the only full-time employee in his agency. His experience ranges from special weapons training and hostage rescue, to being the former vice president of the national Special Agents Association, founded 75 years ago.

The private investigator hires help – retired federal agents and former or current law enforcement officers – to assist when needed with research, surveillance or reinforcement in special operations.

“I like to work with SWAT team members in cases such as workplace violence,” Hertog said.

Hertog has crafted what he calls the art of surveillance, explaining that he always stays ahead about his subjects.

From taking late-night phone calls to waking up at dawn for a workout, Hertog said he was born to do private investigation and, therefore, has dedicated his life to “taking the high road.” The U.S. Army was a steppingstone for the patriot who was born on the Fourth of July.

After the military and the FBI Academy’s Special Tactical Firearms School, Hertog

Private detective David Hertog founded his own agency, David Hertog & Associates, in Arlington Heights about 17 years ago. Now based in Barrington, Hertog works with clients to dig up information needed for important decision-making. The agency caters to both businesses and individuals. received his master’s degree in business at Lindenwood University in St. Louis and his bachelor’s degree in law enforcement and criminal justice from Western Illinois University before being recruited for investigations by a major military defense contractor – McDonnell Aircraft (now Boeing).

Hertog then chose to continue his education with an international terrorism course at the U.S. Air Force Special Operations School in Florida.

The detective now has FBI agents on speed dial, which works in his favor, he said.

Establishing his own company, first in Arlington Heights in 1997 and later in Barrington in 2003, Hertog’s first client was Harpo Studios,

founded by Oprah Winfrey.

Hertog said many of his clients are companies, but the most rewarding work is done with individuals.

“Every case is unique, but this is a people business,” Hertog said. “People come to me thinking they’re the only ones experiencing certain problems. They think they should be embarrassed and are sometimes scared to investigate the matter because they don’t want me to know about it, and that’s sad. I’m here to help.”

Hertog offers a Background Investigations 101 class as a service to his clients where he teaches people how to screen their potential significant other, he said, adding that this can be crucial in the realm of online dating.

Cases last from hours to months, Hertog said, explaining he works on a couple of cases each day and is careful about where he talks to clients.

With such privacy, Hertog said business can sometimes be challenging.

“I don’t advertise and I’m not in the phone book,” Hertog said. “I rely on word-of-mouth and respect.”

Barrington resident and lawyer Edward Scott has known Hertog about six years now. Scott said his business relationship with Hertog is one of his most trusted.

“I trust him as a professional and as a person,” Scott said.

“His work is thorough, prompt and accurate. He’s quick and if there’s bad news, he’s not afraid to sit down and tell you

the truth.”

Sipping a mocha frappuccino and wearing red Adidas sneakers, Hertog admits he’s not Superman.

“Many agencies have no experience or training,” Hertog said. “I just wanted to start something different and make it real impactful. There’s a need for a discreet, elite, practical and capable agency in the area – people who can protect, investigate and advise. I’m always grateful for those who have helped me.”

Hertog said he performs a background check on every new client to prevent himself from working for criminals.

He travels occasionally, within the United States or as far as Europe.

“Some places are a lot of fun,” Hertog said. “Others – not so much.”

The agency has received calls for everything from UFO sightings to birth parents and threats in the home or workplace. Nation Pizza and Foods of Schaumburg, which ships millions of frozen pizzas each year, has used Hertog as its “pizza pi (private investigator)” for employee background checks for the past 10 years, Hertog said.

Pointing to his night video camera, Hertog said the future of his business is wide open and he hopes to expand further in to the Chicago market.

“Technology has made things faster, which has increased the expectations of clients,” Hertog said. “Business is rewarding, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I’m satisfied knowing I may have helped someone have a better life. It’s about reputation. It’s about the guy who calls you for help in the middle of the night and knows you’ll answer the phone.”

Heartbeats for Sam fundraiser collects more than $18K

By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life contributor BARRINGTON – Although 23-year-old Sam Donnelly was born with a heart with only one ventricle, friends and family say he has the kindest heart of anyone they know.

Donnelly, a Barrington resident, had two open heart surgeries as an infant and for 23 years experienced no significant problems. Then, in January, Donnelly started to experience some rapid heartbeats and discomfort. Although he consulted his doctor, it was chalked up to his being a student and probably drinking too much caffeine.

Then, in April, he had a second episode, which required a trip to the emergency room.

“His heart was beating so hard, you could see his T-shirt vibrating,” said Maureen Donnelly, Sam’s mother.

The emergency room gave

him IV medications to get the tachycardia under control and he was sent home. About 10 days later, he had an appoint- Sam ment with an Donnelly electrophysiologist at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Shortly after, in May and then June, he experienced his third and fourth episodes.

Each time he had an episode, he was given medication and had to stay at Lurie Children’s Hospital for days.

This month, Sam will undergo Fontan Conversion surgery to get his heart working properly again.

“It’s going to be a big surgery,” Donnelly said.

Sam Donnelly is one of Maureen and Kevin Donnelly’s eight children. They are also parents to Jennifer, 32, who has Down syndrome; Maggie Morrison, 27; Joseph,

“Literally, I think he is going into it with an army of love, support and prayer behind him. This gives us hope for a good outcome and a swift recovery.”

How to help Find the Heartbeats for Sam Give Forward page at www. giveforward.com/fundraiser/ tpr4/heartbeats-for-sam.

Maureen Donnelly Sam’s mother

21, who has autistic spectrum disorder; Xavier, 18; Agnes, 15; Isabel, 12, who has special needs; and Bernadette, 9. With the exception of Morrison, who lives in Palatine with her husband, Charles, all of the children live at home.

“It’s been an unexpected challenge just because when Sam had his two open heart surgeries as an infant, we thought he was done (with surgery),” Maureen Donnelly said.

To help with the expenses the family is incurring, other family members have started the Heartbeats for Sam fundraiser on www.giveforward.com.

“It’s actually been a miracle in our lives,” Donnelly said. “It’s not just about the money… the response has just been phenomenal.”

In addition to donating funds, messages also can be left for the family on the fundraising page.

“I could visibly see a physical change in Sam (from seeing the success of the fundraiser and reading the notes),” Donnelly said.

Family friend Beth D’Amico called the Donnelly family a beautiful example of unconditional love and faith.

“They have been through so much in their lives, but the tremendous thing about this

family is they have such a deep understanding, love and faith in God,” she said.

She encourages people to visit the Give Forward fundraiser and “give from their hearts to help Sam’s heart.”

“Life just isn’t easy in our house so this help is so incredible and is giving Sam such a boost of strength going into surgery,” Donnelly said. “Literally, I think he is going into it with an army of love, support and prayer behind him.

This gives us hope for a good outcome and a swift recovery.”

As of Thursday, more than $18,000 had already been raised for the family.

BARRINGTON – A Chicago Bears Youth Football Camp will be July 14 to 18 in Barrington.

Camps provide safe, non-contact football instruction for children ages 6 to 14.

Instruction comes from professional coaches and football players like Adrian Peterson, Jim Morrissey and James Thornton, according to a news release.

Skill development sessions will take place in the morning, with tournament action, team games and skill challenges taking place in the afternoon.

Barrington is one of 12 camp locations in the Chicago area this summer, the release states.

COMMUNITY VIEWS David McSweeney Unfortunately, all the talk in Springfield has revolved around the idea of raising taxes – not cutting them.

Last spring, there were proposals on the table to implement a progressive income tax increase in Illinois, create a separate tax for higher income taxpayers and make the “temporary” income tax hike of 2011 permanent.

Thankfully, the Democratic leaders in the House and the Senate were not able to push through their radical tax hike agenda last spring. However, while they were unveiling one income tax hike proposal after another, many taxpayers across Illinois were left wondering if they were going to have to sell their homes because the cost of their property tax bills just keeps going

up every single year.

Homeowners need some relief and they need it soon.

Last year, I was able to push through a new law (HB 983) that will help prevent local governments from issuing bonds for bad projects that could result in higher property taxes. This is a step in the right direction. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for bad debt, but there is so much more that could be done to reduce property taxes in Illinois.

The best option would be for the Democratic leaders in the House and the Senate to get behind my legislation (HB 95) that would freeze all property tax levies for three years. Unfortunately, House Bill 95 has never even been given a hearing – let alone a vote. I also passed a bill in the House to freeze Township General Fund property tax levies for one year, but that bill has stalled in the Senate.

Property taxes will con-

tinue to rise in Illinois if we keep ignoring the problem.

Ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away. We are inching our way toward being known as the state with the highest property taxes in the nation.

There are 7,000 units of local government in Illinois and we need to start consolidating those that are unnecessary. We cannot continue on our current path. The taxpayers of Illinois deserve some relief. It is time for the General Assembly to listen to the concerns of our citizens and provide real property relief and prevent Illinois from becoming the state with the highest property taxes in the country.

Rep. David McSweeney represents Illinois’ 52nd House District, which includes portions of Algonquin, Barrington Hills, Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Lake in the Hills and Trout Valley.

Home ownership carries a tremendous amount of responsibility. Maintaining a home often can be a labor of love, but it is a labor nonetheless. Here in Illinois, homeowners not only have to contend with the usual problems of home ownership such as bad appliances, leaking roofs, flooding basements and other home repair problems, but they also have to deal with the second highest property taxes in the nation.

That’s right. Illinois has the second highest property taxes in the country. Only New Jersey has higher property taxes than Illinois.

The average property taxes in Illinois are about 2.28 percent of a home’s value, while in New Jersey the average property taxes are about 2.32 percent of a home’s value. It is possible for Illinois to surpass New Jersey in the very near future.

We are overdue for property tax relief in Illinois.

Lindquist said Savage tosses out the idea of the “perfect, Christmas card” family and teaches her audience that it’s OK embrace the everyday simplicities of life.

Atonement Pastor Jane Kunzie-Brunner said the purpose of the 500-person confer-

and grasping for this ridiculous notion of perfection can suck the joy out of parenting – out of families.”

Atonement member Ann Pride said the church has been blessed with a newly renovated building and this event is a great way to benefit the whole community.

“We live this life of constantly trying to do everything we can to give back and forget that it’s OK to be average,” Pride said.

The event will feature six speaking sessions and three breaks – one for lunch. A question-and-answer segment will be from index cards collected throughout the day.

Brunner said the questions are always her favorite.

“People ask about things I never even think of,” Brunner said. “It’s helpful to be able to build off each other.”

The day will leave parents feeling “more sure of their calling – empowered and refreshed,” Brunner said.

BARRINGTON – The Auxiliary of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital has awarded scholarships to local students working toward a degree in a health-related field for its 35th consecutive year.

BARRINGTON – No one is preaching perfect parenting at the Lutheran Church of the Atonement in Barrington, according to congregants.

Discounted tickets now are on sale for a one-day parenting seminar for mothers, fathers, teachers and practitioners.

Authors and international speakers Jill Savage of Normal and Kathy Koch of Dallas are teaming up to share Christian methods of working with children.

The conference will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 27, with limited seating.

North Barrington mother Laurie Lindquist already has heard Savage speak in Rochester, Minn. Lindquist, who has a 13- and a 10-year old, said she was moved by the way the author of “No More Perfect Moms” embraces the average family model.

“At the end of the day, we

ence is to open up the church to the greater community.

“It will be great for absolutely anyone who deals with children – parents, grandparents, preschool staff – you name it,” Brunner said.

Brunner, who has listened to both Savage and Koch before, said reading the authors’ materials beforehand may be helpful but it’s not necessary.

“The speakers debunk the myth of perfection,” Brunner said. “Perfection is impossible to obtain, yet parents come to me weekly with parenting anxiety.”

Brunner said the conference will help mothers and fathers to be “on the same page” when it comes to parenting.

“As a parent of a 6- and 11-year-old, I feel like a failure whenever I see my kids struggle in a particular area of life, but the authors remind me that perfection isn’t realistic and there’s always opportunity to grow,” Brunner said.

By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life contributor BARRINGTON – Although it started as a fictional sport in JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, the sport of Quidditch now is nonfiction.

In the “Harry Potter” series, Quidditch has wizards flying on brooms, competing to snatch the snitch, a winged golden ball. Obviously, when the real-world version of the sport was founded in 2005 by a student at Middlebury College, the rules and play had to be adapted a bit.

The Barrington Area Quidditch Club was founded in spring 2014 by Madeleine Lebovic, a North Barrington resident and Tufts University Quidditch player.

“It was just a different concept for a game,” the 18-yearold Lebovic said, adding it has been described as a cross between rugby, handball and dodgeball.

In the real world version of Quidditch, players run with brooms between their legs, trying to avoid being hit by a bludger – a deflated dodgeball as opposed to the iron ball used in the fictional sport – while scoring points by getting the quaffle – a deflated volleyball – through a hoop defended by a keeper.

In the fictional game of Quidditch, a seeker also aims to catch a golden snitch – a flying gold ball with wings. In the real world version, the snitch actually is a person, dressed all in yellow with a tennis ball stuffed into a sock attached to the back of his or her shorts, which the other team must try to capture.

Confused? Lebovic can help

Seventh-graders Brianna Lieblang (left) and Isabella Lebovic (right) play a game of Quidditch with the Barrington Area Quidditch Club. The club is new to the area, founded this spring by North Barrington resident and Tufts University Quidditch player Madeline Lebovic. you sort it all out July 12 at her Introduction to Quidditch workshop or at one of her day camps, which started this month at Eton Park in Barrington. The camps are aimed at those in third grade through high school and are broken up into three separate age divisions.

“I think the first reaction from anyone who’s read the books is the little smile or giggle of me using ‘bludger’ and ‘quaffle’ seriously,” Lebovic said.

And although Lebovic began reading the “Harry Potter” series in the third grade, she said it is not unusual for people who have never read the books or seen any of the movies to take an interest in the sport.

“Once you start playing, you realize how much is going on at once,” Lebovic said.

She already has held one Quidditch introduction to gauge interest in the sport in the Barrington community.

Megan Keith, an 11-year-

old Hoffman Estates resident, was one of the participants in that first session. She spotted a flier for the Barrington Area Quidditch Club at a juice shop while out with her mom and sister. As a “Harry Potter” fan, it caught her attention. Keith just started reading the books this year but has seen all the movies.

When she attended the introductory session, she was surprised to find there were no really strong ties to “Harry Potter.”

“I didn’t think Quidditch was an actual sport, so I didn’t know what to expect from it,” Keith said.

She acknowledged in “Harry Potter,” brooms are a big part of the sport, and running with a broom between her legs took some getting used to.

“I fell a couple times doing it, but it was a lot of fun,” Keith said. “It’s a fast-paced game. There’s a level of difficulty, but it’s easy to play if you know what the sport is.”

America’s sworn enemies celebrate “victory” on YouTube.

Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein said the president’s action “violated the law,” and John McCain called those released “the hardest of the hard core”.

So, what’s going on?

Obama’s world view is animated by a deep sense of griev-

As President, Obama agitates to force change while openly expressing disdain for the familiar order of advice and consent. He has no intention of working with Republicans, yet he blames them for a lack of cooperation. He agitates with

straw-man arguments, as in a recent speech where he cited his teenage daughters among those who easily understand climate change while dissenters do not. Such provocative, grievance-soaked tactics are the stuff of tyrants and dictators.

Americans must face the ugly truth about Obama’s views and

his reliance on agitation as political strategy. His decisions make clear his grievance extends to us as Americans – that we are oppressors and our nation is a global bully he aims to bring down to size, precisely what our enemies think.

Local dance company celebrates 25 years SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – The Barrington Youth Dance Ensemble celebrated its rich history with a 25th anniversary concert June 13 and 14 at the Barrington High School auditorium.

More than 600 people enjoyed the show, which featured past favorites along with several new premieres, according to a news release.

The concert included works by founder and artistic director Mary Brennan, as well as those by award-winning choreographers such as Eddy Ocampo, Winifred Haun and the rest of the company’s artistic staff. Attendees learned about the history of the company through a series of performances featuring a “compelling and challenging repertoire,” from classical favorites to contemporary works, the release states.

BYDE staff and alumni dancers shared memories. The celebration included a special video presentation of staff and dancers who have been with the company since it began in 1989.

Many still are involved today.

Brennan said longtime artistic and production associates, combined with dedicated funders, dancers and volunteers, have melded with executive, artistic and advisory boards with “consistent zeal” for the past 25 years.

“From the young children to the seasonal professionals, this organization has become a family, which passes its traditions on and on.”

The BYDE is a nonprofit organization that promotes artistic integrity, involvement and awareness through exceptional dance training and performance in the Chicago area, according to the release.

Barrington resident Doug McConnell, 56, swam the annual Manhattan Island Marathon Swim June 28. McConnell began preparing for the swim this past winter, swimming about 20 miles each week over six days. Serving as his guide and kayaking alongside McConnell was Barrington resident Don Macdonald.

Barrington resident Doug McConnell achieved the Triple Crown June 28 when he swam 28.5 miles around Manhattan in the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim. McConnell is the 16th person over the age of 50 to achieve this title, worldwide, according to a news release. McConnell said the swim was beautiful – sunny skies, water in the low 70-degrees and no wind until the end of the swim.

He completed the swim in nine hours and 37 minutes with 29,611 strokes. To date, McConnell has raised about $300,000 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research in connection with his swims.

The new funds will be allocated toward programs at the Les Turner ALS Research Laboratories at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, the release states.

We are seniors on fixed incomes who are tired of our high property taxes padding teachers’ retirement. Our taxes keep going up.

Our pensions and Social Security are not keeping up with the cost of living. My husband just took a 20 percent cut in his pension (that he paid into for 40-plus years) because his union leaders didn’t make wise investments but no one is coming to help us. I paid into a pension fund for 33 years. Why are these high raises for teachers who will be retiring in the future being approved? We are over 68 and don’t qualify for a tax freeze because we are told our income is too high. We are not living in the “lap of luxury” but are just getting by on what we can afford. We would like to stay in our house in Downers Grove. We are “Baby Boomers” and our parents couldn’t afford to send us to college. We had to enter the work force right after high school. No one padded our pension funds. I wish we could have become teachers so we could retire with high incomes.

In response to “loud exhausts protect motorcycles,” this argument is lame if not illogical. The louder a motorcycle is the better people see you? When does hearing equate to vision? Motorists have their windows closed and music is streaming, outside noise is filtered. You hear a motorcycle when it passes, not before. It is not a siren. Now let’s get to the real reason for extremely loud motorcycles and here he has it right … to be seen. I’m cool, I’m macho, I’m virile.

Restaurant reviews

Pinstripes offers much more than great food SOUTH BARRINGTON – When you see the sign for Pinstripes, it’s natural to wonder – is this a bowling alley with a restaurant attached, or vice versa? Is it possible to be both (and bocce, too) and do them well?

I set out on a recent evening with a pair of friends to find out. For once, the Mystery Diner would also be the Mystery Bowler.

When you walk through the front door, the large desk staffed by two or three hostesses says “hotel” more than “restaurant.” Behind the desk, there’s an elevated bar area, which was well-populated on this particular night.

To the right are the bowling lanes, and off to the left is the bocce area.

We didn’t have reservations, and we were told that the wait would be 40 minutes.

Undeterred, we settled down on some comfy chairs just off the bar area to await our table.

Pinstripes had smartly left a menu there, and I was just starting to peruse it when we were approached by a waitress asking for our drink orders.

It was no more than two or three minutes later that our buzzer went off, indicating that our table was ready.

We were led deeper into the building, somewhere behind the bar area, to a comfortable, traditional dining area.

Back there, we could hardly hear the sounds of bowling and carousing taking place in the other portion of Pinstripes. You could easily imagine that this was a standalone restaurant, unaligned with any other entity.

We informed our server that we’d ordered drinks but hadn’t yet received them. He assured us this was no trouble; indeed, just moments later, he arrived with a tray of four drinks. Turns out there’d been a slight miscommunication and my drink was made twice.

He apologized and offered the second drink for free.

One of my friends has some dining restrictions, so two of

It was tasty, too, and we finished it off quickly.

Then it was off to the main courses. That meant the chicken and goat cheese pasta for me, the ahi tuna for the friend with dietary limitations and the maple glazed salmon for my other friend.

My meal was terrific, the chicken and little dollops of goat cheese interspersed with fusilli pasta, rosemary cream sauce and fresh cracked pep-

The other entrees were similarly popular, neither requiring a box to bring anything home. The ahi tuna is served with baby greens, feta, olive tapenade and lemon caper vinaigrette, while the maple glazed salmon comes with organic red quinoa, cucumber, avocado, tomato and mint. If

we didn’t clean our plates, we came pretty close to it.

The friend who had the salmon still had an appetite, so she ordered a dessert, the chocolate s’mores. It was just what you’d expect, little graham cracker sandwiches with melted marshmallow in the middle, with a generous portion of chocolate sauce for dipping. It was definitely a hit.

After settling the bill, we had to decide between bowling and bocce. The bocce area looked pretty full, so that

given a lane, and very soon were knocking pins down at a less-than-impressive rate.

But we didn’t let our lack of bowling skill dampen our enthusiasm.

The lanes are well-maintained and the seating comfortable, with a great big table right by the lane for any drinks or dessert you might order. A server came by a few times while we were playing to offer both, and if we weren’t all full already it would’ve been a good option.

Ultimately, the verdict is that you don’t need to have dinner to enjoy the bowling, and you can just as easily stop by for a meal and skip the activities. If you like both, so much the better. I’ll have to swing by another time to try the bocce, but based on what I’ve seen, I expect it’s top-notch, too.

Norge ski jumpers head to U.S. development camp

By RYAN ALTMAN raltman@shawmedia.com For the next five weeks, three girls from Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove are heading west to get a glimpse of what their ski jumping futures may hold.

Mollie Immens of Fox River Grove, Cara Larson of Barrington and Kailey Bickner of Wauconda are three of eight girls nationwide who were selected to attend a Fly Girls Team and camp training program taking place in Steamboat Springs, Colo., and Park City, Utah.

This experience is part of Women’s Ski Jumping USA’s new nationwide athlete development program, where some of the top youth skiers around the United States will train with U.S. Olympic ski jumping coach Alan Alborn, world champion ski jumper Lindsey Van and other top U.S. skiers.

For eight years, Larson, Bickner and Immens have skied together at Norge, hoping that someday they will have the chance to become jumpers for the national team.

Larson, 13, said Van has served as a great role model for all three girls. Van fought for years trying to get women’s ski jumping included in the winter Olympics, until it finally was added in 2014.

“They’re the ones that got

The girls make up three of the eight selected to participate in the Women’s Ski Jumping USA’s Fly Girls development camp this summer. women into the Olympics for ski jumping,” Larson said. “I look up to them so much because they made it possible for us.”

The girls’ jump coach of five years, Scott Smith, who also is a U.S. ski team board member, said the girls have spent roughly four to five days and 10 to 15 hours on the slopes each week, perfecting their launch techniques in order to

improve speed and flying distance.

“Now that they’re getting older, [the time commitment] is quite a bit more,” Smith said. “These girls are to the point where it’s now time to step up to that next level. The U.S. team is bringing girls up that are a part of the future, so they have a lot of work to do, but they are very talented.”

Larson and Immens, 14,

recently finished first and second, respectively, at the National Junior Championships in Anchorage, Alaska. Bickner, 13, has won two Virtual U.S. Cups in the Central U14 girls division, where competitors send in videos of their jumps to get their scores.

Smith estimates they enter about 20 competitions a year.

During the summer, instead of landing on a soft,

white slope of snow, the girls zip down the 160-foot pitch on mesh-like green matting, giving skiers the same feeling as snow.

“In the summer, [the ramp] is a lot smoother,” Larson said.

“The only big difference is the feeling. There’s more pressure on the lift.”

Although there won’t be any snow on the ground for several months, Larson said they still train the same as if there was snow. Bickner trains on both the 40-meter and 70-meter ramps, while Larson and Immens stick to the 70.

“My favorite part of jumping is flying through the air and the adrenaline rush you get,” Bickner said.

“I love the feeling of flying,” Immens added. “It’s an indescribable feeling.”

The girls will train in Steamboat Springs for a little more than a week before heading to Park City, where they will use their newly learned skills in competition. Smith believes this opportunity can be a valuable learning experience.

“I think the biggest thing would be gaining the confidence to do better,” Smith said. “When the girls develop a little slower with their technique than the guys, the more they can be around the jumps and camps, they should gain more confidence.”

Coach competes against mentor

By TIM SIECK Barrington Suburban Life contributor Pat Wire, Barrington High School’s head varsity baseball coach and assistant football coach, sat down with Barrington Suburban Life contributor Tim Sieck to talk memories and technique. The father and Cary-Grove alum even has competed against his former high school coach.

Tim Sieck: Why did you decide to start coaching?

Pat Wire: Athletics helped shape and mold my life. Parents and family provide most of the structure while athletics enhances that structure in the complex social world we live in today. This structure includes and instills discipline, accountability, work ethic, dedication, commitment, vision, and compassion for others. I felt compelled to share my experiences and time with students and athletes to achieve their untapped potentials.

Sieck: What is it like to coach against your former high school coach Don Sutherland?

Wire: It is like competing against your dad or older sibling. It’s the idea of wanting to prove your worth and what they have taught you.

I feel a constant pressure of never wanting to let him or my other mentors down. I am constantly motivated by that fear. Fear of never letting them down. I am very proud of my time at Cary-Grove and what I have learned from him as well as Bruce (Kay). They are some of the best coaches I have ever come across in the profession and I am so unbelievably grateful to have had them coach me as a player. As you get older, you realize that

more and more.

Sieck: How would you define the “Barrington Way”?

Wire: To ensure that we run a high-quality, education-based approach to the game. We do this by following a three-principle system. The first principle is we better out hustle everybody. The second principle is we always try to chase the opposing pitcher.

Whether by pitch count or hitting the ball, it’s always a goal of ours. Lastly, we’re going to have a plan. Whether it is on defense, offense, on the mound, or on the bases, we are thinking about the game within the game. We don’t want to be players who react, but players who anticipate. If our coaching staff does that for our players, the winning will take care of itself. It is all about process for me, not results. I am never disappointed if our process is done correctly.

Sieck: What has been the most memorable game of your coaching career?

Wire: Defeating CaryGrove in the playoffs. Facing my former coach, on the field I grew up on, and defeated a high quality program lifted my confidence as a young coach in eyes of one of my mentors.

Sieck: What is the best thing about coaching at Barrington High School?

Wire: It is the authentic relationships between coaches, parents, players, and administration. All of the coaches are interconnected and trust one another. Mike Obsuszt and Steve McWilliams are as supportive and as good as it gets. We are all in it together.

Doing what’s in the best interest of student-athletes.

Jesus Vega, 48, of Hillside Avenue, Barrington, was charged with possession of fireworks Friday at his residence.

A beeline for self-checkout When I go to the grocery store, I often use the self-checkouts. It’s usually quicker for the customer, and the store doesn’t have to pay an employee to ring up your order, thus, hopefully, lowering prices – a win-win.

It must be popular because more and more supermarkets are resorting to self-checkouts. A steadily dwindling number of people feel uncomfortable with the computers, particularly those who are adverse to new technology.

For others, going to a store is a routine they enjoy. They want to have contact with another human.

That is an important factor. Let’s look at movies, for example. It’s much cheaper to watch a DVD or stream video, but people still go to the theater. Part of that is because of the big screen, but the other reason is we like to watch movies with other people.

For me, a grocery store is different. Shopping is a chore.

So, the quicker I can get out, the better.

If I see an available cashier, I will go to that person.

A cashier can handle the process quicker than me.

But if the cashiers all have lines, I make a beeline to the self-checkouts.

My cousin disagrees.

She refuses to go through self-checkout, saying it puts people out of work.

She is right that stores have fewer employees because of self-checkouts. But we have machines all over our society that essentially have laid off workers. This has been happening since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, which started more than 200 years ago.

Have you ever used an ATM? That means fewer jobs in banks. In the news business, machines have had a huge effect. In the 1990s, for instance, darkroom employees started losing their jobs with the advent of digital cameras.

In the long run, though, better technology helps society. We have more money for other things. That’s why spending on tourism and restaurants has exploded in the last few decades. Can’t

OUT HERE David Giuliani we all agree that going on a vacation or to a restaurant is more fun than going to the supermarket?

What’s with those discount cards?

Speaking of stores, why does nearly every one offer its own discount card? Remember the old days when a store’s sales applied to everyone who walked through the door. Sure, I know any customer can get a card, but I like to keep life simple and carry as few things in my wallet as possible. The proliferation of cards is not helping matters.

Some years ago, one grocery chain boasted that it had no special discount card, saying its deals benefited everyone. But it relented once it saw the fad would not die.

Some major stores remain holdouts from the card trend – Walmart comes to mind.

So we anti-carders may win after all.

It’s all perfectly legal, but …

The other day, the Chicago Tribune ran an in-depth story on Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner’s income tax records.

One sentence of the story fascinated me more than any other: “Complicated tax rules related to [his] business losses freed Rauner from paying any Social Security or Medicare taxes in 2010 and 2011, despite his reporting healthy earnings in other income categories and listing a combined adjusted gross income for those years of about $55 million.”

It’s all perfectly legal, I’m sure, but should someone who pulls in $55 million over 2 years pay a little something to Social Security and Medicare?
