By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – A mother-daughter duo from Barrington recently helped get seizures added to the list of conditions that can be treated with medical marijuana in Illinois.

Morgan Mehalic, 24, was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1998, when she was just 8, after having a benign brain tumor removed. Seizures have been a constant struggle for her.

“When I was a young child, I knew that having seizures will always be a concern in life and I had to mature very quickly at a young age,” she said. “It was hard for my friends to understand at such a young age, when I was diagnosed, and still, to this day, it is hard for people to understand.”

With 16 years of seizures and epilepsy, testing, doctor visits, 911 calls, emergency rooms, hospital stays, large quantities of pharmaceuticals and horrible side effects behind them, Fran Mehalic, Morgan’s mother, said the family has always done its best to stay positive and advocate for Morgan.

In fact, it was Fran’s oldest daughter, Tiffany, who first brought up marijuana helping seizures to her mother. Tiffany heard about it in a college psychology class, but at that time, Fran dismissed it. Then, a CNN special featuring Dr. Sanjay Gupta, “Weed,” got her thinking again and Tiffany, who Morgan sometimes lives

Representatives before being sent to Gov. Quinn for signing.

Sen. Iris Martinez sponsored and pushed for the bill. It was signed July 20.

“July 20 was such an emotional day,” Fran said. “There weren’t many dry eyes in the crowd. We are one step closer to the known benefits.”

Fran said since conventional medications are not controlling seizure activity for so many, including her daughter, it was important to the group to improve the quality of life for those with such conditions.

“Families will no longer have to leave Illinois and establish residency in other states to gain access,” Fran said.

Although Morgan said she has not tried medical marijuana yet, she is on the waiting list in both Illinois and Colorado to get access.

“I do take a high dosage of pharmaceutical medication that barely helps control my seizures,” she said. “I am having seizures every day and more frequently I have been having cluster seizures, which means large amounts of smaller seizures that happen right after each other and will last a long period of time. Having seizures every day is mentally and physically exhausting.”

A spokesman for Gov. Quinn’s office said the new law will help alleviate suffering of many throughout the state.

“Governor Quinn was deeply moved by the plight of these children and their parents, especially after meeting with Morgan and many other Illinoisans like her who want to bring relief and better health to themselves and others,” spokesman Dave Blanchette said. “The governor has great respect and admiration for Morgan for having the courage and conviction to advocate for something, which will benefit a large number of people.”

According to Fran, patients and caregivers can begin registering for ID cards as early as September. She is hopeful that by spring of 2015, legal purchases can be made.

Children were able to ride a

trackless train, be fitted for a free bike helmet by Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital nurses, watch a special K-9 performance and learn more about local anti-crime programs and drug awareness, according to a news release.

Other entertainment included music by Bob the DJ, prize drawings, games, face painting, a balloon animal artist and emergency vehicle tours. Barrington Police Chief David Dorn and Fire Chief Jim Arie were on site serving hun-

dreds of free hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks, the release stated.

Week of training to focus on new classroom technology

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Incoming District 220 teachers have a lot to learn before about 9,000 kids start school this month.

At an employee orientation Tuesday, about 40 new teachers met each other and several school administrators for the first time. About half of the newcomers were first- to fifthyear educators.

Superintendent Brian Harris delivered a welcome speech, acknowledging these employees have been selected from a “huge applicant pool” and “rigorous” interview process.

About 12 teachers were hired at the high school, while 10 total were hired for the district’s two middle schools and 15 will be divided up among the district’s eight elementary schools.

“With so many applicants, we were able to select only the best,” Harris said.

Harris said he, too, would be sitting in on much of the weeklong training since it was just two months ago that he left District 200 (Wheaton) to assume his position in District 220.

Linda Klobucher, assistant superintendent of curriculum, instruction and staff development, said the training would be heavy in technology since the district is focused on Digital Age Learning and “going green” with Google Apps in the classrooms.

About 12,000 handheld devices will be issued to students and faculty members this fall.

Under the district’s newly approved One-to-World initiative, all high school students will receive a MacBook Air on lease, and middle school students will use either HP laptops or iPads, Harris said.

Harris said administrators are still planning technology for elementary students, but every child will have a school device over the course of the next few years.

When asked why the devices outnumber the amount of persons in the district, Barrington 220 spokeswoman Morgan Delack said the One-

About 40 new District 220 teachers gather Aug. 5 at Barrington High School for their first day of orientation. Half of the newcomers said they were first- through fifth-year educators. Twelve teachers were hired at the high school, while 10 total were hired for the district’s two middle schools and 15 will be divided up among the district’s eight elementary schools. A couple elementary teachers may still be hired before the start of the school year, staff said.

to-World initiative encompasses anything that connects to the Internet.

“Some staff members are given multiple devices in order to fulfill the requirements of their job,” Delack said.

“Many have two or three devices – an iPhone, computer, and/or iPad.” Also, Delack said many classrooms and technology labs are equipped with computers in addition to a student’s personal device.

The rest of the district’s more than 1,200 employees will gather Aug. 18 for a WelCome Back Day. School will begin Aug. 20 this year, as the school board approved a new academic calendar in December. High school final exams will occur before students leave on a two-week winter break. Columbus Day, Oct. 13, also has been changed into a student attendance day.

“Some staff members are given multiple devices in order to fulfill the requirements of their job.

Many have two or three devices – an iPhone, computer, and/or iPad.” Morgan Delack Barrington 220 spokeswoman Staff said they will continue to monitor class size projections until the start of school, as students move in and out of the district. In fact, Lines Elementary School principal Jill Schweiger was not present on the first day of orientation because she was interviewing candidates for a newly added first-grade class section at her school.

As of now, the only schools

to not receive new teachers this year are the Early Learning Center and Hough Street Elementary School.

Sunny Hill Elementary School only will receive one new teacher, but her story is unique.

Barrington High School 2007 graduate Jena Krawiec will be a third- through fifthgrade special-education teacher at Sunny Hill. Krawiec herself attended all of her elementary years at the Carpentersville school. Sunny Hill principal Irma Bates was a new third-grade teacher when Krawiec was in fifth grade.

Also interesting is the journey of incoming high school English teacher Rob Frankel, who is starting a new career.

Frankel said he previously has worked as a professional actor and 26-year marketing staff member for IBM Solutions.

Side jobs included being a DJ,

ranch hand and singing telegram messenger, Frankel said.

Frankel said his passion for teaching came from coaching years of acting lessons for kids.

Most of the new teachers were hired for high school and middle school classes because the school board continues to see a three-year decline in elementary enrollment numbers, officials said.

In March, the equivalent of 12 full-time teachers were given non renewal notices of their staff contracts because state law mandates the school board give teachers 45 days notice of a layoff before the end of the academic year, and elementary enrollment was unknown.

Assistant superintendent for human resources and administrative services Mary Dudek said at orientation that more than half of those teachers have been hired back with the district.

BARRINGTON – Local food growers have celebrated giving back to the community for years, but this year it will be more formal.

Smart Farm of Barrington will host its first annual Farm to Barn Dinner from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Sept. 6 at the Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital Barn, 450 W. Highway 22, in Barrington. The 100-seat, family-friendly affair is almost sold out, Smart Farm founder Kathy Gabelman said.

Gabelman, a Lake Barrington resident, dedicates her time March through November, along with several other volunteers, to grow produce in a 30-by-48-square foot hoop house on an acre of land at the hospital for one purpose – to feed the area’s hungry. The group has two additional gardens on hospital grounds.

Smart Farm volunteers donated more than 6,700 pounds of produce to food pantries in Barrington, Cary Grove, Cuba Township, Carpentersville, Lake Zurich and Wauconda-Island Lake in 2013. The group, founded in 2008, meets Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings to plant and harvest.

Gabelman said the site’s greenhouse, built in 2012 with a grant from the Barrington Area Community Foundation, is special because it allows volunteers to work rain or shine and to start planting seedlings in March, which would be difficult outdoors. Volunteers already have put in more than 500 hours of service this year, Gabelman added.

The upcoming community five-course meal, held at the site of Art in the Barn, will feature dishes from four local chefs and live music. Tickets are $100 per person. Gabelman said the event could turn into an annual tradition, depending on how the first one goes.

Zak Dolezal, chef and general manager of Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen in Crystal Lake, is in charge of coordinating the fare.

Dolezal said each chef – Dolezal, Michael Formichella of The Anvil Club in Algon-

quin, Anne Fitzgibbons of OMango in Naperville, Jessica Grelle of Mama Jess and Dominic and Jessica Green of Gentleman Farmer – will source food locally to prepare bitesize appetizers, a main course and unique desserts.

Drinks likely will include wine and cocktails. Dishes will be passed family style, Dolezal said.

What will Dolezal be preparing?

“Probably lemon-herb marinated and grilled chicken, collard greens and corn bread polenta,” Dolezal said.

“It’s seasonal, rustic and something that’s not on our regular menu at Duke’s.”

Dolezal said his dish will have a bit of a Southern influence.

The evening’s produce likely will come from the Green family’s organic farm in Barrington Hills, as well as other local farmers, Gabelman added.

According to the Illinois Food and Farming Jobs Act, the average meal in the state travels 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table.

“It’ll be really great to form new relationships with these chefs and farmers that I’ve never met,” Dolezal said.

“Plus, the food miles will be minimal. People are realizing how important food is and it’s unique to have this opportunity in the suburbs. It’s important to care about the food we put into our bodies.”

In addition to donating 100 percent of every harvest, Gabelman said Smart Farm volunteers host cooking classes for those in need and occasionally donate kitchen appliances to families to make healthy meals in their home.

A Frozen Zucchini 5K snowshoe race fundraiser is held in Barrington every January to benefit the organization.

Gabelman said the dinner event will be a way to give back to Smart Farm supporters.

“A community can be brought together with food,” Gabelman said. “Local sustainable farming is a wonderful thing.”

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Barrington is one step closer to joining its neighbors in becoming a home rule town after village board members on Monday approved a referendum question to be placed on the November ballot.

Also passed was a special ordinance establishing the position of the village board on the use of home rule. Board members said if the referendum passes, home rule authority will not result in higher property taxes.

Barrington village president Karen Darch said other towns that already have established home rule, including Barrington Hills, Inverness, Lake Barrington, South Barrington and Palatine, have agreed to only raise property taxes in response to an actual emergency or legal requirement.

“We intend, as a village board, to follow or not exceed the tax cap,” Darch said. “We just want to get that question out of the way for voters.”

Barrington village attorney Jim Bateman said most municipalities operating under home rule realize the decision is a moral commitment.

Trustee Jim Daluga, who said the village board always has committed to low property taxes, explained the “home rule question has been brewing for quite some time.”

“There’s often circumstances that we want to act on but are told ‘you could do that ... if you were home rule,’” Daluga said.

Barrington resident Nancy Rodgers, who co-chaired a seven-member advisory committee on home rule, said the group found that home rule can bring about more local decisions.

“The village board would

have more flexibility with statewide mandates,” Rodgers said. “For example, home rule could allow the village to enter multi year contracts and save a lot of money over time or hire police officers who have already been trained.”

Rodgers said committee members conducted independent research and talked to friends and neighbors to address local concerns.

“We all know that home rule means no tax cap, but looking at evidence and studies from other home rule communities, we found that the increased flexibility that comes with home rule status can actually relieve the property tax burden from homeowners,” Rodgers said. “The village would have the flexibility to consider alternative revenue sources, applicable not just to residents but to others coming into town.”

Rodgers said the committee is confident that the village is in a “sound” financial position and home rule would not be used as a solution to “some financial disaster.”

“The committee recommendation was unanimous,” Rodgers said. “Residents deserve the chance to weigh in on this.”

The Cook and Lake County clerk’s offices will now be in charge of placing the home rule referendum on the November ballot.

Barrington is currently 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.

Any municipality with a population of more than 25,000 residents is automatically home rule. Barrington has about 10,000 residents. Illinois has 211 home rule towns.

If the referendum passes, Barrington will immediately become a home rule community, Bateman said.

Home rule information can be found at www.barrington-il. gov. The next village board meeting is set for 8 p.m. Monday at the Barrington Village Hall, 200 S. Hough St.

Therapists help runners improve movement Program helps people avoid injuries

If you go n WHERE: 455 W. Northwest

Highway, Barrington

n WHEN: By appointment n INFO: 847-381-0372

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – With summer-running season in full swing, local physical therapists are learning new techniques to prevent common injuries.

The Pose Method of analyzing movement was introduced to Accelerated Rehab in Barrington this June. Three-year Accelerated physical therapist Alecia Grounds calls the method “another tool in the toolbox” for timely rehabilitation.

“It’s a unique method for us because it’s about more than alleviating pain,” Grounds said. “Pose includes a series of 40 to 50 drills that are simply an exaggeration of natural running movements that we want people to understand to prevent future injuries.”

Aside from pain relief, The

Pose Method can help runners pick up pace.

Runner and 12-year Accelerated physical therapist Denise Smith said she’s shaved off 90 seconds per mile by using the method to understand the role natural forces, like gravity, have on the body’s efficient movement.

“Why should we fight something that is there to help us?”

Smith said. “As physical therapists, we focus on efficient movement.”

The concept was developed by two-time Olympic coach Nicholas Romanov in 1977 in the former Soviet Union. Romanov discovered the human body goes through a number

of natural poses while running – using gravity, body weight and a change of support.

Grounds said The Pose Method’s drills target components that runners may be struggling with.

For example, Grounds said there is a running pose that every runner gets into, no matter their shape, size or running ability, in addition to a “pull” and a “fall” when a runner uses gravity to propel forward.

The Pose Method teaches runners to run more vertically, with their knees directly under their hips, in order to use gravity more efficiently and in turn, run faster with less impact, Grounds said.

“I’m not a big runner,” Grounds said. “I would run in college to stay in shape and always noticed that my friends would pass me up. However, I’ve become a much faster runner after doing the Pose drills.”

Grounds said the neat thing about The Pose Method is that there is no “right or wrong”

amount of drills that runners can incorporate into their training routines.

“I encourage people to try out all the drills and see what helps them the most,” Grounds said. “It’s good to incorporate The Pose Method into a daily warm-up or practice a few drills throughout the day.”

Some of the most common running injuries are Achilles tendinitis or knee and back pain, Grounds said.

“If people aren’t running with their knees under their hips, they can extend their leg too far,” Grounds said.

Grounds said 80 to 85 percent of runners are “heel strikers,” putting three-times their body weight onto their knees.

With The Pose Method, runners actually increase their cadence from 165 to 180 steps by landing directly under their body and propelling into their next motion, rather than stopping or breaking between strides, Grounds said.

It’s a preventative method

because there is less risk of injury with less foot-to-ground impact, Grounds added.

Without Pose drills, Grounds suggested runners do a good, dynamic warm-up before a run and bring awareness to their natural body movement during a run.

Smith added runners should avoid warm-ups such as “high knees” when training since thighs are heavy to lift.

“Feet are light,” Smith said.

“Focus on lighting your foot off the ground.”

Smith said runners should let their body fall forward while running to use gravity as acceleration, rather than reaching out with a straight, locked leg.

Runners experiencing pain can be treated with The Pose Method at Accelerated Rehab under insurance and a doctor’s prescription. Anyone without insurance or looking to prevent running injury before the onset of pain can enroll in a four-week program.

Started in 2011, the ride is meant to raise awareness and funding for the Motivate Prevention Programs run by the organization. The Friendship Project focuses on teaching grade school and middle school youth about recognizing bullying, protecting themselves and being a good friend.

The organization’s program director Jane Stephen said bullying is a real problem for youth.

“This event is crucial to helping people understand that bullying can be prevented,” Stephen said. “We can teach our kids how to build character and be good people.”

Telling a story about White House Resident working on documentary for historic building

By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – When Jeff Baustert attended an open house and walked through the Barrington White House in July, he knew he wanted to do something to contribute.

The Barrington resident, a filmmaker with a specialty in photography, wasn’t able to donate funds but knew he could offer something else “I could help you do a video to raise money or document this,” Baustert said he told village officials.

With a goal of completing the restoration of the 116-yearold Barrington White House in time for Barrington’s 150th anniversary in 2015, work is already underway.

Baustert has been hard at work on his part of the project, documenting the restoration and construction process. Part of the project involves creating a commercial or public service

People enjoy refreshments inside the Barrington White House after the recent groundbreaking ceremonies. announcement to help bring awareness and donations.

“I’m just about finished with the public service announcement,” Baustert said.

Beth Raseman, project coordinator, said the plan is to run the commercial on the public access cable channel and other places.

He said the goals are to get

the word out and raise funds for the project.

Baustert, who has lived in Barrington for seven years, said the history of the town is part of its appeal. He and his family built their own house to resemble an old farmhouse.

“Places like the White House show the history and character of the town,”

Baustert said. “I think preserving the character of the village is one of the things (I like about this), plus it’s cool to see how they tear it down and put it back again.”

Baustert has been a filmmaker since the 1980s, working on mostly independent films. As the industry changes, he has found he no longer

needs to be based in Los Angeles. He said while filmmakers have to go to Los Angeles for jobs, they then go to film on location at the current hot spots. In recent years, those places include Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans and New York City.

“When I’m working, it’s the greatest job,” Baustert said.

He is shooting a documentary in Los Angeles while also working to raise funds for a couple of other projects.

In between trips to Los Angeles, where he crams as many meetings as he can in to a few days, he is back in Barrington, working on the White House project.

He isn’t sure how exactly the White House project will evolve, be it a 20-minute video or a longer presentation. All he knows is the project lets him do what he loves – telling stories.

“Part of it is saving histories and passing stories along,” he said. “A lot of people have put a lot of work into the White House. Right now, it’s about raising the money.”

Bowling alley marks 65 years but has ‘rough’ road

By DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – Tom Nolan has a special connection to Wauconda Bowl: He is the first person to set the pins for a paying customer.

The year was 1949, and he was in eighth grade. He and another employee flipped a coin for the honor of being first.

“It wasn’t much money, but I enjoyed it,” said Nolan, now 78, retired and living in Alabama. “There wasn’t much for us to do in a small town. There weren’t many jobs.”

Wauconda resident Lori Kmiecik wasn’t born yet, but she knows plenty about the bowling alley. She has owned it for nearly a decade.

A couple of weekends ago, she threw a 65 th anniversary celebration, complete with

live music and DJ in the new sideyard and beer garden.

She and her husband, Danny Kmiecik, who owns Danny’s Lori Kmiecik Glass & Trim in Wauconda, moved to town from Chicago in 1986. Their children grew up in Wauconda and have since bought homes in town.

“We love this town and have all our eggs in this basket,” Lori said.

About 10 years ago, she and her husband found out the bowling alley was struggling and could possibly close, not an unusual scenario for a smalltown alley. They decided to buy it, with Lori, who describes herself as a casual bowler since she was a kid, as the owner.

Lori had no experience

running a bowling alley or tending bar.

“I jumped in and learned really quickly,” Lori said.

O v e r t h e Danny Past decade, the Kmiecik eight-lane Wauconda Bowl has taken its share of hits. In January 2008, a state law banning smoking in nearly all businesses, including bowling alleys, took effect.

“That took half of our customers. Most of them smoked. They never came back,” she said.

Nonsmokers, meanwhile, didn’t offset that loss, she said.

Later that same year, the economy crashed.

“We still haven’t recovered from that. I don’t know where they are saying the economy is going up,” Lori said.

A generational shift also is having an impact.

“Kids are playing their video games. They are on their telephones. When we were kids, we used to go rollerskating and bowling, but kids today are in a whole different realm. We lost a few generations,” Lori said.

That’s why her alley is promoting youth leagues.

“Bowling is a fun sport, something you can do your whole life,” she said. “It doesn’t take a lot of athletic ability to go bowling.”

Making ends meet at the alley, though, has been “rough,” Lori said.

The Hummdinger Tournament, which lasts from January to April, is a big moneymaker for the business. Started in 1955, it is the longest-running handicap bowling tournament of its kind in Illinois, Lori said.

She described Wauconda Bowl as a “nice, cozy place.”

“It’s a place where people aren’t afraid to walk in.” Lori said, There’s never any trouble.”

Thanks to advances in technology, the days of human pinsetters are long gone. Nolan, a 1954 graduate of Wauconda High School, worked at Wauconda Bowl for a couple of years then moved on to an alley in Fox River Grove. He bowled at the Wauconda alley for years afterward, even visiting it recently. (He can’t bowl now; he’s got bum knees).

Nolan, a telephone lineman for 37 years, only recalls one drawback to the job, besides the pay.

“Some of those leagues didn’t start until 9 p.m., and they weren’t over until 11:30,” he said. “It was hard to get up to go to school.”

The Barrington High School marquee is being updated to be more energy efficient and cost-effective with LED lighting.

Over the course of the next two school years, all of the exterior signs in District 220 will be updated. The process began this summer when Barrington High School’s marquee was taken down, as well as the signs at Lines and Sunny Hill Elementary Schools.

A sign at Station Middle School is now under construction. The updated marquee at BHS will include more energy- and cost-effective LED lighting, according to a news release.

Barrington residents Wade Balsamo and Robert Oberschneider were named to the Dean’s list at North Central College of Naperville for the 2014 spring term. To be eligible, both maintained a grade-point average of 3.6 (an A is 4) for the term, enrolled as fulltime students.

Geneva Lake has something local lakes do not On a very hot Saturday in late June, I was mowing the lawn and thinking how much I wanted to jump in a lake to cool off.

When I finished, I told my fiancee what I was thinking.

She reminded me that we just joined Wauconda’s Lake View Villa Association, which has a beach on Bangs Lake just a few blocks from our Bonner Road house.

With dozens of lakes, Lake County has its name for a reason. Long ago, it was discovered as a great place for recreation. Houses ring its lakes, making shorelines almost entirely private property.

You can’t walk around Bangs Lake; if you tried, the property owners certainly would have something to say.

I don’t know of a major lake in the county you can walk around. But you probably know of one where you can – Wisconsin’s Geneva Lake.

At Geneva Lake, people can walk along the 26-mile shore-

OUT HERE David Giuliani line, a trail started by Indians.

Long ago, courts ruled property owners must allow people access to the shoreline. Do you think that has something to do with the fact that Geneva Lake and its major town, Lake Geneva, are some of the most popular attractions in the region?

Karen Walsh, director of the Geneva Lake Museum, thinks it helps.

“It’s a wonderful thing,” she said. “Not everyone likes the idea, especially some of the property owners. You don’t have total privacy. You can sit on your lawn, and people walk by.”

And these aren’t just any houses – in some cases, they are million-dollar mansions.

In much of the world, the best neighborhoods are gated off; that’s not always

Lake County has plenty of water, but none of its lakes compare to Geneva Lake in Wisconsin. the case in the United States, a relatively open society. So I’ll bet international visitors

to Geneva Lake experience cultural shock when they can get up so close to the rich.

Maybe that’s why Geneva Lake is known for attracting so many visitors from other countries.

“We have someone from almost every country every year,” Walsh said. “I’m looking at our list from yesterday.

We had people from China and Poland. It’s pretty amazing.”

When I Googled the words “trail around a lake,” mostly lakes out West boasted such an amenity. The West is less populated, and before it started filling up, President

Theodore Roosevelt set aside land for parks, stopping private development along some bodies of water.

Illinois and Wisconsin, as it happens, have a few very small lakes with complete trail access, but nothing on the scale of Geneva Lake.

Restaurant reviews

Step into Barrington’s pl8 for an eclectic date BARRINGTON – Pl8 is a break away from the average strip mall restaurant on a weekday evening. Although outdoor seating is available, pl8’s atmosphere is sure to draw anyone in for a taste.

My date and I decided to sit at a high-top booth and take it all in. The high-top was unique in itself. Several other parties sat at lower tables for a family-style meal with friends. A few diners took a cushioned seat solo at the bar for a drink and sushi roll.

The lighting was dim and relaxing. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable, which is a plus when ordering foreign cuisine.

Our appetizers were served nearly as quickly as we placed an order. The vegetable spring rolls came out first and the crispy fried vegetables paired perfectly with the sweet and sour and hot mustard dipping sauces. It was the perfect plate to share since I had more of a sweet tooth and my date was looking for something spicy.

The appetizer that really surprised us was the crab rangoon. The plate was completely uncommon.

Crispy wontons had been wrapped to look like chopsticks and stuffed with the more traditional fillers – cream cheese, scallions and crabmeat. It was fun to dip the crab rangoon sticks in the sweet and sour sauce, almost like an Asian take on French fries or mozzarella sticks.

We barely made it halfway through our appetizers before our main dishes were ready, but as we’ve learned with restaurants – quick service is excellent service.

Knowing we would share, my date ordered a few sushi rolls while I selected a signature plate. Each roll was creative. I’m not a huge rice fan, so the individual spicy salmon hand roll was my favorite. The large portion of fish was blended to perfection and stuffed into wrapped nori – not too spicy and not too thick.

A taste of pl8’s signature dishes will leave you wanting to try every one. Shanghai scallops include fresh sea scallops with black rice vinegar, blackened chiles, ginger, scallions, and shredded snow peas. The grilled mushrooms atop the plate were phenomenal.

pl8 My date really enjoyed the tempura and California rolls. The tempura roll was pretty traditional with crispy shrimp, cucumber, crabmeat and avocado. The California roll was decked out in eye candy – flying fish eggs. The roe wasn’t too fishy and complimented the classic combination of crabmeat, avocado and cucumber.

As for my signature plate … the Shanghai scallops were delectable. My date and I

Barrington resident Ken Mola caught a 55-inch muskie last year in Ontario, Canada. Mola is a catch-and-release fisherman. This was the seventh-largest muskie ever caught in Canada, Mola said.

Gearing up for a trophy muskie A master fisherman shares his experience

By BILL HOBBS Barrington Suburban Life Contributor BARRINGTON – This fall, Barrington resident Ken Mola and another fishing buddy will climb into a small boat and quietly motor out into either a Wisconsin or Michigan lake – they haven’t decided yet – and attempt to beat Mola’s record catch-and-release last year, a 55-inch muskie.

Mola, a consummate muskie fisherman, hooked the monster on Lac Suel in Ontario, Canada, in 27 feet of water. It was the seventh-largest muskie ever caught in Canada, he said.

“It was getting late in the

day and I just decided I was going to put the biggest lure in my tackle box on the line,” remembers the 78-year-old retired district sales manager from Boise Cascade Co. That lucky lure was an enormous 13-inch-long crank bait made by Grandma lures.

It looks like a small perch, bristles with treble hooks and “wobbles” in the water when you reel it in.

To be sure, the fight was memorable, but what Mola talks most about is saving the 40-pound fish.

“I stayed with him for half an hour,” holding the muskie by the tail and gently rocking

it back and forth in the water, he said.

The motion, Mola believes, helps pump more oxygen into the fish’s gills and resuscitate it.

That caring and passion for the “King of Fresh Water Fish” comes after 65 years of fishing for walleyes and muskies.

After landing his first muskie, “I was a fanatic, fishing from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,” Mola admitted.

Mola analyzes every catch, asking himself, “Why did this lure work or not?” He also keeps track of moon phases, the barometer and what color lure to use.

And it appears his analysis has paid off.

While most fishermen would die to catch one “keeper,” 30 inches or longer, Mola said, “I stopped counting after I caught my 500th muskie,” adding, “That includes undersized ones, too.”

Mola said the best conditions for catching muskies are when the days are “overcast, there’s a slight ripple on the water, a little drizzle, but not a rain.”

“A steady weather pattern of two or three days also seems to turn them on,” Mola said.

Mola said muskies like nasty fall weather and “their appetites go toward live bait, like suckers.”

A pioneer in night muskie fishing, Mola recommends using surface lures like a “Tallywacker” that make a lot of

commotion and during the day, a black buck tail, like the Mepps.

“Muskie Killer” or “Giant Killer” or any of the popular “Cowgirl” lures that have two huge blades and plastic strands of colored tinsel wrapped around them.

“The key is to reel in real fast,” Mola said.

Good muskie lakes? Mola recommends North and South Twin Lakes in Phelps, Wis.; Big and Little Arbor Vitae Lakes in Woodruff, Wis.; and the Flambeau Flowage in Park Falls, Wis., to name a few.

Player aware of abilities early on Sieck: What has been your best

By TIM SIECK Barrington Suburban Life Contributor individual moment in high school BARRINGTON – One of the key players to the Barrington High School Broncos’ baseball and football programs jumped in the hot seat and agreed to be profiled this week.

Here is a look into the life of Adam Broomfield.

Sieck: When did you first realize you were a good athlete?

Broomfield: When I made the big 10 football team in fifth grade and in the same year made my first travel baseball team. From there on, I gained confidence knowing I was pretty good at sports.

sports?

Broomfield: My sophomore year when I got pulled up to varsity football to be backup quarterback. We were playing Palatine, and I got to go in at the end of the game and threw my first varsity touchdown.

Sieck: What has been your favorite team moment?

Broomfield: Coming from behind and winning against Fremd on homecoming when the game had been delayed hours because of rain and lightning.

Sieck: What are your college plans?

Broomfield: I am looking to go down south somewhere and study psychology. Right now Central Florida is in the lead.

all twisted up and threw the ball backwards over my head toward the hoop. It completely missed, and I was taken out for a while.

Sieck: If you had to play another sport in high school, what would it be and why?

Broomfield: I always wished I would have played hockey. I have done almost every sport except for that one because I have never learned how to skate.

Sieck: Take us through your typical day this summer.

Broomfield: My typical day starts at 7 in the classroom for football. After football, I usually rest and then eventually go out for a lift.

Once my lift is done, I’ll call up friends and we usually go to someone’s house and play basketball or just relax outside.

Sieck: What has been your most embarrassing moment in sports?

Broomfield: That was in eighth-grade basketball. I was running down the court on a fast break, and when I got the ball right by the rim I was

Sieck: What is the best thing about playing for coach Wire?

Broomfield: The best thing about playing for coach Wire

is his passion for the game.

You can really tell he cares about this program with all the effort he puts in. It’s really fun to see him run 50 yards in practice because the offense just scored and he wants to go celebrate with whoever scored. He is really passionate about the game and it rubs off on a lot of the players.

Sieck: Why is the Barrington program so successful?

Broomfield: I think it is so successful because of our coaching staff. They do a fantastic job of getting every player to buy into the process.

They are very intelligent and know how to work to their player’s strengths.
