‘Smiling at people on the road’ Lake County road worker keeps roadways friendly By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com LAKE BARRINGTON – It was difficult for Barrington Junior Women’s Club members to track down a total stranger while making Character Counts award nominations this year, but Lake Barrington runner Sharon Whitaker knew just what to do. Whitaker first saw award recipient and Lake County road worker Leon Russell a couple of years ago. “Whether I was driving or road running, I would see Leon frequently, sometimes daily, waving and smiling at
people on the road,” Whitaker said. Whitaker never knew the friendly face personally but was always astonished at how kind he was to strangers. “Most people don’t even make eye contact on the road,” Whitaker said. “Leon just has a great attitude, and it’s good to know there are people in the world who want to make someone else’s day a little brighter.” The half-marathon competitor, who most often saw Russell along Kelsey Road and state Route 22 in Lake Barrington, said she could not wait to run up to the road worker and tell him he would receive special recognition at the Barrington Village Hall last month. “It’s funny – he thought he was in trouble or something,” Whitaker said. “I gave him a big hug and told him ‘thank

you for making me smile.’” Russell was among 10 other individuals to be acknowledged by the women’s club for making a difference in the Barrington 220 area this year. The Character Counts awards were launched in 2012, often given to students, coaches, teachers, local employees, volunteers or neighbors. Announcing the award June 23, one women’s club member said “it takes someone extraordinary to make construction and traffic a positive experience, and Leon is an example of how a number of seemingly small acts of kindness can make a big impact on many.” Russell has been a road patrolman for the Lake County Department of Transportation for decades, his supervisor, Kevin Kerrigan, said. Kerrigan said Russell al-

ways is respectful, coming into work with a good attitude every day. Russell covers the southwest quadrant of Lake County, Kerrigan said. He drives the roads daily to check for debris, roadkill and areas in need of work. One-man jobs for Russell include filling minor potholes and shoulder work. He plows the roads in the wintertime, Kerrigan said. Women’s club member Lisa Olszewski said it was great to recognize such a genuine person, attributing Russell’s values to being one of 12 children. Kerrigan said Russell declined to comment about the award because “he’s not much to talk about that sort of stuff.” “We get phone calls and emails complimenting Leon all the time,” Kerrigan said. “It’s just his personality.”

Foss Swim School of South Barrington will look much like a current facility in Lakeview. The 20-yard pool will be used for swim lessons, noncompetitive meets and family swim use.
Swim school to open in Arboretum By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com SOUTH BARRINGTON – A family-operated swim school is set to make a splash in the Arboretum of South Barrington this year. Foss Swim School will be open for registration in December, with lessons starting Jan. 2. The 7,000-square-foot facility will be built in a never-before-leased space, just southeast of the iPic Theater next to Wok ‘n Fire, founder Jon Foss said. Foss, who runs the swim company with his wife, Susan, said the group’s ultimate goal is to never franchise. It also wants to expand into every market possible – providing high-quality instruction. South Barrington will be the school’s fourth site in Illinois. Other communities include Highland Park, Libertyville and Lakeview-Lincoln Park. The school began in 1993 in Minnesota and expanded to the Chicago area in 2005. The Foss family now is celebrating more than 10 million lessons. In addition to a 20-yard pool, patrons can enjoy family friendly changing areas, heated floors, an air conditioned view room and a swim retail
store, Foss said. Local swim parent Patricia Jacobsen said she is thrilled to hear of the new swim school. Her daughter, Kirsten Jacobsen, shattered state records in the Illinois High School Girls Swimming Association swimming finals in November. “The more swimmers, the better,” Patricia Jacobsen said, adding small swim organizations were what launched her daughter into competitive swimming. “It’ll be great for swimmers to learn proper technique,” Jacobsen said. Foss, a former national swim coach, describes himself as an anti-drowning advocate “obsessed with swim technique and quality.” “I’ve been amazed with the different techniques competitive swimmers use,” Foss said. “Some techniques are so interesting and unusual – and they work.” After having several of his swimmers set national records in the late ’80s, Foss said his technique clinics soon prospered into lessons, spreading by word of mouth, and building swim schools then became his passion. “This is our vision,” Foss said. “We love South Bar-

at the school every weekend and family swim hours will be offered throughout the week, as well as break through clinics for anyone stuck on a particular skill. Foss said hiring will begin
this fall with each staff member receiving 60 to 70 hours of training at the school’s corporate office in Eden Prairie, Minn. For information, visit www.fossswimschool.com.

BARRINGTON – Just one day after UnCork Barrington, hundreds more visitors gathered at the Metra train station in downtown Barrington for the 11th annual Barrington Brew Fest. Craft brewers from about 50 national breweries served up to 20 three-ounce drink samples to each attendee. Vendors were present providing fest food, such as Big Iron Horse BBQ, Gilbert’s Craft Sausages, Mc-
Gonigal’s Pub and Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Everyone received a Barrington Brew Fest glass and T-shirt as a souvenir. Local brewers included The Lucky Monk of South Barrington, Mickey Finn’s of Libertyville, Small Town Brewery of Wauconda and The Wild Onion Brewing Co. of Lake Barrington. Proceeds were donated to the Barrington Area Council on Aging. McGonigal’s Pub of Barrington was the main sponsor of the event.

A doggone great wedding Brides- and grooms-to-be, I obviously have come late to the modern wedding scene, but I had no idea how popular it is to have dogs at ceremonies and receptions. When I planned my first wedding several decades ago, I can only envision asking my mother, “Can Brownie be in the bridal party?” Initially, she would have screamed, “Are you nuts?” In a minute or two she’d have calmed down and realized Brownie was my imaginary dog. I’d made him up because she never let me have a real one. At 18, the age I was to be married, I still had imaginary friends. Obviously, my immaturity doomed the marriage from the start. However, a dog at a wed-
OFF THE DEEP END Judi Veoukas ding party was unheard of back then, even an imaginary one. But now, Max the mastiff, in his “quality satin fabric tuxedo that fits with a white snap around the neck, plus a satin black bow tie at the top with festive trim and three formal buttons” (available on Etsy), is as much a part of the modern wedding as the table of people you’ve never met but had to invite because they’re your mother’s mahjong group. I have nothing against dogs in bridal parties. They’d probably act better than the little flower girl at one wedding I
attended. This child decided not to walk down the aisle at the last minute. She threw herself on the floor and screamed obscenities as if she were the girl with the whirling head in ‘The Exorcist.” Yes, young children can cause calamities, but, in my opinion, those considering a canine as part of the ceremony might want to think a few things through, too. What if perfect Max the mastiff is not a hypoallergenic dog, and Very Old Max, the uncle with the aging immune system, is sitting near the aisle. Max the dog walks by just fine, but Max the uncle drops dead from an undiagnosed, dog-related allergy? It could ruin your day. As for a canine as your
flower girl, if you are considering Bella the bulldog, the website ColinCowieWeddings. com suggests, “She can carry a bouquet of flowers or basket of petals in her mouth. Just try to avoid flowers toxic to dogs, such as hydrangeas and azaleas.” You think Old Uncle Max dropping dead as ruining the wedding? Your beloved pet’s demise would be so, so much worse. Also, make sure your dog really likes dressing up. You don’t want Max or Bella rolling around, trying to get naked in front of 200 guests. Although, better it be Max the dog than Max the uncle. Last, I know it goes against every pet lover’s dream wedding day, but canines probably
should not be at the reception, unless of course your male Great Dane can waltz. Say, for example, your dad has run off with his secretary, is serving time or refused to pay for your nuptials. In one of those cases, you might want to have that daddy/daughter dance with your dog, providing he is indeed a large breed. A bride waltzing with a teacup Shih Tzu might look as if she has lost her mind and is dancing by herself while the DJ is playing Luther Vandross’ “Dancing With My Father.” Overall, I wish you a doggone great wedding, dog gone or dog there!

MIT: A higher living wage in Lake County By DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@shawmedia.com
Vin Chicago provides wine for UnCork Barrington event By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Hundreds of visitors flocked to the Metra station Friday evening in downtown Barrington for their taste of international wine and fine foods at UnCork Barrington. Upon arrival, each guest was given a souvenir wine glass and a passport booklet describing 50 different wines. The 10th annual wine-tasting event was presented by the Barrington Village Association and several local sponsors. Wine was provided by Vin Chicago in Barrington. Event chairman Doug Skor expected more than 1,000 guests this year. About 800 tickets were sold before the event started and more were available at the door, Skor said. Wines were grouped by their appeal, in categories such as Napa Valley Knockouts, Fantastic Food Pairings and Big Juicy Reds. A new VIP tent served a higher echelon of wine, Skor said. Food sponsors included several local catering companies and restaurants, such as McGonigal’s Pub Brent Thorne - For Shaw Media and Za Za’s Tavola Italiana. Much like the wine samples, Joseph India of Barrington samples a fig and Mascarpone torte from

The cost of living is higher in Chicago and its suburbs than elsewhere in the state. No secret there. And the fact that Lake County’s property taxes are ranked 15th highest in the nation doesn’t help matters. Earlier this year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a living wage calculator, which approximates the income needed to meet a person’s or family’s basic needs in 2013. The calculator lumps the Chicago area into one region, so it produces the same numbers for Cook County and the suburbs. According to the calculator, the living wage for an individual is $8.08 in downstate Rock Island County, nearly 30 percent lower than the $10.48 wage in the Chicago area. For a family of two adults and two children, the living wage is $17.68 in Rock Island and $20.35 in metropolitan Chicago. Illinois’ minimum wage is $8.25. One of the biggest factors in the difference between the two regions is housing, which costs $790 a month for an individual in metro Chicago and $463 in Rock Island County, according to the calculator. Based on Census numbers, the median household income is $48,205 in Rock Island and $79,085 in Lake County – a 35 percent difference. MIT says its calculator is meant to provide one perspective on the cost of living in the United States. “While the minimum wage sets an earnings threshold under which our society is not willing to let families slip, it fails to approximate the basic expenses of families in 2013,”
MIT’s website said. As a result, many working adults seek public aid or hold multiple jobs provide for their families, the site said. Norm Walzer, a senior research scholar for Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies, said comparisons between regions can be hard. Discussions about the living wage, he said, are often political in nature. Walzer said income tends to be greater in areas with higher costs of living. When large companies move its employees around, he said, they often take regional pay differences into account in setting wages. A rise in the minimum wage, though, may not be the solution, he said. When the minimum is increased, employers find ways to do away with positions – sometimes by looking for more efficient ways to do things, he said. “There aren’t many people right at the minimum wage, but it’s the base for other wages,” Walzer said. Christopher Marmé, an economics professor at Augustana College in Rock Island, said a minimum wage increase “sounds great at the ground level.” In the short run, it may be hard to replace a beneficiary of a minimum wage increase. “’We can’t get rid of Mary,’ a company says. ‘We need someone to answer the phone.’ But the company may figure that most of its correspondence is over email. Once Mary retires, the company might not replace her,” Marmé said. Regional differences in Illinois are obvious, he said. “Downstate, you have a lower cost of living. People don’t need to be paid as much to make ends meet.”
tthorne@shawmedia.com ROLLING MEADOWS – A 19-year-old Barrington Hills resident pleaded guilty Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence, according to the state’s Karsten attorney’s office. Eilertsen Karsten Eilertsen, a 2013 Barrington High School graduate, who was 18 at the time of the incident, faces up to 14 years in prison for the death of a 61-year-old Elgin man and injury of a 44-year-old woman. According to court re-
cords, prosecutors said Eilertsen was driving a Chevrolet Suburban about 3 p.m. March 3, 2013, north on Route 59 in Barrington Hills when he crossed over the center lines and sideswiped a Toyota, injuring a 57-year-old woman driver. Eilertsen then crashed head on into a Dodge, killing the driver, Ronald Ziolo. Ziolo’s passenger suffered foot injuries, prosecutors said. Police said they found marijuana, drug paraphernalia and nonprescribed Lorazepam, a sedative, in Eilertsen’s car. A judge must determine the teen’s punishment. Both charges include two years of mandatory supervised release. Eilertsen will next appear in court Aug. 6.

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – An advisory committee on Monday recommended the village let voters decide whether to allow Barrington to become home rule, which would give the village more control and free itself from some state requirements. At an advisory board meeting, the Home Rule Ad Hoc Committee made its final recommendation. It also sought to ease concerns that home rule would mean higher property taxes. Committee members, appointed by the village board to review a home rule option and determine if a referendum question should be placed on the November ballot, stated home rule “would provide new protections and opportunities to better address local issues” and it “would enhance the village’s ability to operate in an efficient and cost-effective manner.” The committee spent about a month reviewing and adding to a staff report from Jason Hayden, the village’s director of community and financial services, and attorney Jim Bateman. The report will go back to the village board and be posted online for the public by early August, Hayden said.
Barrington currently is in the minority, as 20 percent of Illinois residents live in nonhome rule municipalities that would need to pass a referendum to become home rule but have not yet chosen that route. Any municipality with a population of more than 25,000 residents automatically is home rule. With about 10,327 residents, Barrington could join neighboring towns, such as Barrington Hills, Inverness, Lake Barrington, South Barrington and Palatine, in becoming home rule and therefore be exempt from many state requirements. Illinois has 211 homerule towns.
in decreased reliance on property taxes. Plus, home rule would mean local elected officials, rather than politicians in Springfield, could make more taxing and spending decisions. Nanci Rogers, a co-chairwoman of the committee, said the group reviewed several studies and found no evidence home rule towns generally had higher taxes. Member Brian Farley said the home rule discussion is “not out of result of a present crisis, as the village’s finances are in good shape but rather positions the village to take advantage of unique opportunities that may arise in the future.” ‘More flexibility’ Committee co-chairwomto deal with problems an Ruth Schlossberg said she In two earlier meetings, is most excited about the vilJune 30 and July 7, commit- lage board “potentially having tee members discussed some- more flexibility for developthing voters could be most ing creative solutions to local concerned about – an increase problems.” in property taxes under home Under home rule, the vilrule. If anything, Hayden said, home rule would provide more flexibility so property taxes would not have to be increased if there were a state action that took away some village revenues. “There’s been a proposal in the state legislature the past couple years to take away a percentage of the village’s income taxes – by as much as 50 percent,” he said. “That’s about $500,000 per year.” Committee members said home rule could allow the village board to consider alternative revenue sources to increase flexibility, resulting

lage board could make use of multiyear contracting, enforce ordinances without circuit court costs, improve regulation of rental housing and enhance bond ratings, committee members said. Hayden said home rule status generally leads to higher bond ratings, and Barrington’s bond rating has improved from AA- to AA+, while the state’s bond rating continues to decline.
‘I don’t see any meaningful risks’ Committee members dropped the notion of recommending the village board establish an oversight committee to maintain checks and balances under home rule,. They said home rule essentially is low risk because local elected officials are directly accountable to the local voters every two years. An example of home rule being effective, as stated in the
final staff report, was in terms of utility costs. Schlossberg said if approved, pending state legislation will transfer the cost of utility access for new water users to existing utility customers, from which Barrington would be exempt under home rule. “We are strongly recommending a home rule referendum be placed on the ballot in November 2014,” Schlossberg said. “It would provide many opportunities, advantages and protections for the community. I don’t see any meaningful risks to this municipality.” Hayden said the village board likely will review the recommendation in the village board’s committee of the whole meeting Aug. 11 and make a formal decision by Aug. 18. If the home rule question is placed on the Nov. 4 ballot, and voters approve, Barrington immediately will become a home rule community, Bateman said.

Support is beneficial for caregivers Ever had one of those days when you just want to yell at everyone or anyone in your path? The stress of caregiving can be overwhelming, and blowing your top, well, happens. After recently being a target myself of a caregiver’s wrath, but understanding it was her situation rather than me as the source of her frustration, one of my astute employees remarked, “Hey, sounds like a support group might be beneficial for her.” According to Psychology Today and the Mayo Clinic, support groups can be a great resource helps people who are in similar circumstances connect. Bonds of understanding form when participants share their difficulties, fears, successes, hardships, resentments and emotions. After hearing my client’s caregiver say, “You just don’t understand how difficult it is,” all I could respond was I understood her frustration,
ELDERLY CARE Linda Chamberlain but she was correct, I could not understand her completely because I had not experienced it before. Who better to talk and discuss frustrations with than those who are experiencing a similar situation? For those seeking to connect with others who are facing caregiving challenges, Lake County has a number of resources. Family Service of Lake County in Highland Park offers a few different senior and caregiver services. They currently are getting the word out about their services in Northern Lake County for caregiver support groups, specifically in the Round Lake area, but groups and services also are available in many different locations. Information
can be found on their website, www.famservice.org, by navigating to their “Programs” tab. The groups are free of charge and can connect you with others in similar phases of life. Taking some time to examine your own stresses and emotions while spending time with others who are experiencing the same circumstances can be very cathartic. Some fantastic and long-lasting friendships and bonds can form when participating in support groups, not to mention the understanding the other members have of your perspective. So, are you having one of those days? Consider a group near you geared toward caregivers. You might find it is worth the effort of attending.

Missing emails: The scandal within a scandal A year into the IRS scandal, we still don’t have a full picture of how a federal agency with the power to reach into the lives of every individual American began systematically targeting people based on their personal political and religious beliefs. Congressional investigators have narrowed their focus to a handful of employees within the IRS’ tax exempt division, including the former head of the office, Lois Lerner. In the latest twist, the IRS is now claiming to have “lost” over two years of Lerner’s emails in a massive hard drive crash. Spanning the height of the IRS’ targeting activity, ConCOMMUNITY gress began requesting access VOICE to the Lerner emails shortly Peter Roskam after the scandal broke – and yet the Administration knew about the so-called massive computer crash for months before coming forward to the public. The missing emails are the latest evasion from administration officials. Beginning in 2010, conservative donors and groups applying for tax exempt status were singled out for scrutiny by the IRS, but agency officials repeatedly denied the practice was taking place. In fact, when pressed in the spring of 2012, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Schulman testified there was “absolutely no targeting” of conservative groups. In May 2013, Lerner admitted conservative groups were targeted by responding to a planted question at a tax conference, apologizing and blaming low-level staff in the Cincinnati office. In the weeks and months to follow, IRS officials would repeatedly attempt cast blame on low-level bureaucrats, but emails obtained by investigators revealed the targeting was in fact directed by officials in Washington, including Lerner. Meanwhile, a federal judge is set to determine if an outside expert can be called to retrieve Lerner’s emails, considered evidence in a lawsuit filed by one of the conservative groups that faced severe scrutiny. Federal law requires agencies to save official records, which in this case would likely include the missing emails. The head of the National Archives and Records Administration recently told Congress that in failing to properly save documents or report the hard drive crash, the IRS “did not follow the law.” The IRS claiming a computer crash destroyed pertinent email evidence wouldn’t work for the average citizen who is required by federal law to keep tax records in the event of an IRS audit, and so the IRS should be held to the same standard. Congressional investigators are continuing their work to get to the bottom of the missing emails as well as the larger IRS targeting scandal.

Celebrating Leave No Child Inside month

June was Leave No Child Inside month, and there was no better way to have LNCI member Citizens for Conservation reacquaint children and nature. During KidFest, a free and public event during the first Saturday of every May by Leave No Child Inside of the Greater Barrington and Lake Zurich Area, the Barrington Park District, Barrington Breakfast Rotary and CFC’s Youth Education team provided more than 1,500 participants with the opportunity to learn about mammals hands on. Children and caregivers experienced mammal pelts, skulls, making clay footprints and even an archaeological dig to create a deer skeleton. CFC also offered preschoolers a day camp during June, giving them the opportunity to become junior naturalists and citizen scientists. Using the
COMMUNITY VIEWS Pat Winkelman CFC-created Junior Naturalist activity books, the developed curriculum and crafts focused on the natural habitat of a prairie where children could learn about trees, birds, mammals, insects and more. Children enjoyed classes outdoors under the shade of a black walnut tree and in the CFCowned and restored prairie of Flint Creek Savanna. In honor of LNCI Month, other organizations joined in sharing the education and fun of nature in the greater Chicago area, including Chicago Wilderness, which highlighted the simple stick, a 2008 Hall of Fame toy; the Chicago Botanic Garden; Crabtree

Restaurant reviews
Closed door sparks pleasant dining experience LONG GROVE – For the Mystery Diner review, my date and I decided on a restaurant in Long Grove. It was early on a Sunday evening. The parking lot was nearly empty. When we got out of the car, an employee emerged to take down the American flag. He quickly walked back in. The door was locked. A mistake? After all, it was only 6:30 p.m., and the hours on the door listed 5 to 9 p.m. on Sundays. When I called, an employee told me the restaurant had decided to shut down early. So we went in search of another restaurant. It didn’t take long. Close by was Enzo & Lucia Restaurant, in an old two-story white house with brown trim at 343 Old McHenry Road. Its door was open. A hostess immediately greeted us and took us to a table in the main dining room. The other diners appeared to be families, not surprising for a Sunday evening. Italian classical music filled the air. We got a window seat, with a view of the well-kept downtown courtyard, adorned with flowers. Outside seating was available, but everyone stayed inside on this Sunday because the darkening clouds looked threatening. Complimentary fresh bread came to our table. Then a waitress took our drink orders – rum and Coke for me and sangria for my date. Then our waitress recited the day’s specials; they were also on the chalkboard near the entrance. My date had been planning to order salmon, but the specials changed her mind. She chose ravioli with chicken. Even though I’m the one who prefers chicken, I decided to go for something different, urged on by my date, who accuses me of avoiding risk when ordering food. Guilty as charged – usually.

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – As often as emergency vehicles come and go from Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, pink ones are a rare sight. The national Pink Heals Tour stopped by the hospital in Barrington on July 9 to spread cancer support awareness. Pink Heals started in 2007 as a group of current and retired firefighter-paramedics who want to help people battling cancer – with a focus on women. Pink fire trucks and decked-out volunteers travel across America to raise money, educate others and most frequently, visit women who are going through a tough time. The public safety theme is to show Pink Heals “puts people first, rather than using money raised to sustain a cor-

Pink Heals volunteers, which are all current or retired firefighter/paramedics, wore pink turnout gear and helmets. porate charity,” according to the group’s website. Chicago chapter founder Joel Mains, of the Downers Grove Fire Department, said the national tour began midJune and will go until mid-November. Volunteers travel as far as Kansas, Texas, Rhode Island and Florida, Mains said.
He said four to six people typically work two weeks at a time – traveling, selling T-shirts, making surprise home visits and partnering with other organizations such as Good Shepherd. At the hospital, the group was suiting up in pink apparel to give a teddy bear to
a 10-year-old who was undergoing brain surgery. They hadn’t known about the patient before arriving at the event that day, Mains said. “Our crew stopped to fill up for gas and the attendant told us about their family member in the hospital,” Mains said. “We knew we had to do something.” Heidi Wiltse, a women’s health navigator at the hospital, stood by the trucks to hand out sunscreen. “Skin protection is cancer prevention,” Wiltse said, explaining that the event wasn’t about a certain cancer so much as it was about promoting overall wellness. The trucks, named Ann Marie, Leslie and Elaine, could easily be seen from the street. Good Shepherd spokeswoman Lisa O’Neil said the
annual event celebrates women and “raises awareness in a very visual way.” Mains established the Chicago area chapter after participating in a Mother’s Day tour with Pink Heals on the west coast about five years ago. His first-ever home visit fueled his passion, Mains said. “We surprised a woman in Bakersfield, California, with our pink turnout gear and had the trucks going with lights and sirens,” Mains said. “It was the coolest thing ever. We all gave her a big hug.” All trucks are donated or purchased cheap. Any funds raised go right back to the local community, Mains said, explaining the group only needs to take out their “own” money for fuel and hotel stays. April Neihengen of McHenry was visiting the event with her sons who toured the engines and signed the names of anyone they knew battling cancer. The surface of each engine was covered with women’s names in black ink. “It’s great to know there are people who are so supportive,” Neihengen said.

For many, vacation means travel, which could be by car, airplane or boat. But for those who suffer from motion sickness, it could be a miserable trip, according to a news release from Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital. Motion sickness is a common problem for travelers. It can start suddenly, with cold sweats leading to dizziness, nausea and vomiting, according to the release. Dr. Rodrigo Bastidas, of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, said motion sickness occurs when the motion you see is different from the motion sensed by your inner ear. “Your brain senses movement by setting signals from your inner ears, eyes, muscles and joints,” Bastidas said. “When it gets signals that do not match your actual motion, you get motion sickness. For example, down below on a boat, your inner ear senses motion but your eyes cannot tell you are moving.” Bastidas suggests eight tips for preventing motion sickness: sitting in the front seat of a car, forward cars of a train, upper deck on a boat or wing seats on a plane may give you a smoother ride – re-

BARRINGTON – Peeing in the pool, surrounded by chlorinated water and chemicals, may not be so harmless. According to research published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal, urinating in the pool may pose more serious health risks than previously thought. The study found the uric acid in urine creates dangerous byproducts in the pool as it interacts with the chlorine. These byproducts, cyanogen chloride and trichloramine, are known to have detrimental effects on lung health. More than 90 percent of uric acid found in swimming pools

‘Hitting like a girl?’ That’s right

By TIM SIECK Barrington Suburban Life Contributor This week, Barrington Suburban Life contributor Tim Sieck sat down with 2014 Barrington High School graduate and softball player Erin Ward. Ward spoke of her college plans and stand-out high school memories.
Sarah Nader- snader@shawmedia.com
Barrington’s Erin Ward (left) waits for the ball while Warren’s Rachele Belletini safely slides into second June 9 during the third inning of the 4A Barrington Supersectional game in Barrington. Warren won 3-1.
Sieck: When did you first realize you were really good at softball? Ward: When I joined Barrington Park District T-ball, I was lucky enough to have a father and brother who taught me how to throw and swing from an early age. I made the boys on my team mad because I hit more home runs than they did. “Hitting like a girl” never felt so good. Sieck: What was your best individual moment in high school softball? Ward: Senior year in our game at Palatine High School. The first pitch of the game, I hit a home run, then in the next at-bat a grand slam. I never felt more in-tune to the ball than I did that day. Sieck: What was your favorite team moment in high school? Ward: The supersectional game in 2013 my junior year. Not only was it one of the best games I ever played personally, but my team was incredible. With the Field of Dreams packed and playing a highstakes game under the lights, it was the most emotionally charged softball night of my life. Sieck: What are your college plans? Ward: I will be attending the University of Illinois
adno=0276641
and studying business and Spanish. Sieck: What was your most embarrassing moment on the softball diamond? Ward: During the 2013 playoffs, I hit a foul ball into my helmet. It got stuck in my face mask, and I had to pry it out and hand the ball to the catcher. Sieck: What are you doing for fun this summer? Ward: I’ve been relaxing and enjoying time in Barrington. I’m trying to soak in as much of the town and Bronco Pride as I can before I leave for school. I’ve also enjoyed watching the Barrington Hurricanes play. It’s so much fun to watch my younger teammates play. Sieck: What was the best thing about playing for Coach Petersen? Ward: Coach Peterson was the best coach I could have asked for. His intelligence of the game and drive to always get better and achieve more success rubbed off on me. He knew exactly how to push me to make me the leader and player I am today, and I’m forever grateful I had the privilege to play for him for three years. Sieck: What was the best thing about playing for Barrington High School? Ward: Getting to call myself a Filly. Every day I got to step onto a field where so many successful teams had stepped before. I got to put on a red and black jersey with “Barrington” written across the front. I wore the colors with pride, and I can honestly say the Barrington softball program was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
