By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Nearly six months after baby Mya Edwards was discovered starved to death, the 7-month-old’s body was laid to rest July 31 in Barrington’s Evergreen Cemetery.

Barrington police and fire department personnel, who originally responded to a 911 call in January in the 100 block of South Hager Avenue in Barrington, led the morning’s funeral procession to St. Anne Church. An area charity, Rest in His Arms, arranged the affair with the help of the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office and Glueckert Funeral Home of Arlington Heights.

Rest in His Arms founder Susan Walker, who said the charity was unable to contact Edwards’ parents, arranged for the baby to be buried in a donated plot. Members of the baby’s extended family were present at the funeral, Walker said.

Edwards’ death struck the charity as being especially tragic because it was “so preventable,” Walker said.

“It didn’t have to happen,” said Walker, a Wheeling resident. “It was such a senseless tragedy.”

Walker said she was determined to give that victim a proper funeral. Others joined to help.

The charity, which consists of four board members and several area followers, has organized more than 30

The group also works closely with the Save Abandoned Babies Foundation of Chicago to educate the public about the state’s Safe Haven laws.

Dozens of community members and about 30 public safety officers attended Edwards’ funeral.

Walker said she was glad to see such support.

“I think it was a good way to give closure to the first responders,” Walker said. “The music and scripture were lovely.”

Chicago deacon Jim Pauwels, who spoke at the service, said the death was emotional for the community because “there should have been life, growth and promise” for Edwards.

“We must make the state Safe Haven law better known,” Pauwels said. “If in need, parents can leave babies with police with no questions asked.”

Pauwels urged residents not to be judgmental and instead donate to social service agencies who feed the hungry every day. The Fresh Flower Market of Barrington donated flowers for the service.

Baby Mya’s parents, Bolingbrook residents Gene Edwards, 22, and Markisha Jones, 19, who were staying in Barrington at the time of the death, have pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment.

Officials found a surviving twin sister in critical condition in the home Jan. 8. The twin is now in foster care, according to the state Department of Children and Family Services.

Prosecutors said the babies had been kept in the basement for long periods of time and fed only bottles filled with water, cereal and baby food. The parents will appear in court Sept.

District 220 administrators and members of the Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township gather July 31 at Sunny Hill Elementary School to celebrate the addition of after-school care at the district’s only school in Carpentersville. Administrators said because 91 percent of Sunny Hill families are eligible for the district’s free or reduced-price lunch program, the after-school care will be appealing and beneficial to the community at $25 per year.

Boys and Girls Club comes to Sunny Hill New after-school program will be one of state’s largest

By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Suburban Life Contributor CARPENTERSVILLE – When Sunny Hill Elementary School students return to class this year, a new after-school program will be offered.

Sunny Hill Elementary School and Boys and Girls Clubs of Dundee Township have teamed up to offer the program, which will be from 3:45 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Carpentersville school.

Curt McReynolds, presi-

dent and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township, said parents reached out to him asking about bringing an after-school program. The club operates at seven schools in Carpentersville and within Community Unit School District 300. Sunny Hill is part of the Barrington 220 School District.

“It’s a great opportunity not only for the students to have somewhere to go but for the families as well,” McReynolds said.

With 91 percent of students at Sunny Hill Elementary School eligible for free or reduced-price lunches, both Principal Irma Bates and McReynolds know the program’s price of $25 per participant for the entire year will appeal to families.

“Families have to stretch their budgets,” Bates said.

“This program gives parents an opportunity to make sure their kids are in a good, positive environment with good role models.”

After-school activities will vary but will include recreation, reading, math, English, technology and fitness. The biggest part, though, will be Power Hour, which is when students can get help with their homework, McReynolds said. The students also will receive a snack right after school and a hot meal before heading home.

“The environment after school should be fun, but it also should be structured and be an extension of the school day,” McReynolds said.

Many of the Boys and Girls

Club employees, he added, are teachers and college students.

The program can accommodate up to 150 students, McReynolds said. Bates expects about 100 of the school’s 410 students to enroll in the program. The first registration period will be Aug. 14.

Students can enroll in the program at any point during the school year.

“We have over 400 kids (in kindergarten through fifth grade),” Bates said. “They’re a wonderful community, and I see this as a wonderful opportunity to make sure our kids have a safe and fun after-school activity.”

Although the program does not have an official start date, McReynolds said the Boys and Girls Club can be ready to

roll on the first day of school.

In addition to the $25 fee, the program will be funded using $50,000 of Sunny Hill’s Title I federal funds.

McReynolds said it costs the Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township roughly $100,000 to $125,000 per site to operate. It is up to the club to pay for the rest.

Of the 27 Boys and Girls Clubs in Illinois, Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township is the fourth largest.

Dundee Township is in its 18th year.

“Our mission is really to meet families where they are at,” McReynolds said.

Last year, more than 70 percent of kids enrolled in their after-school programs attended at least 50 days during the school year.

Tom Campagna (left), District 220’s building and grounds director, discusses middle school technology lab plans with Barrington 220 Educational Foundation members. The labs at each of the district’s two middle schools are being renovated for a Project Lead the Way – Gateway to Technology curriculum beginning this fall.

District 220 contractor Greg Stahler, of the Cashman Stahler Group of Lombard, presents blueprints July 30 for new technology labs at the district’s two middle schools. The renovation project is scheduled to be complete the first week of August, staff said. construction site and discussed the new curriculum.

“It’ll be very hands-on,” Harris said. “The students will build a lot and produce tangible products that they’ll be able to see – that’s important at the middle school level.”

Harris said once the students enter high school, the technology curriculum for Project Lead the Way becomes more conceptual. By starting the experience in sixth grade,

students will be able to think about technology careers at a younger age and know if lab electives are something they would like to pursue in high school, Harris said.

The 3-D printers are a treat because it was just last year Barrington High School students acquired such a device, Harris added.

Prairie School Assistant Principal Brad Choate said with the new curriculum and

labs, all sixth- through eighthgrade students will experience hands-on technology for about a quarter of their year. The students will work in pairs, or teams, with two teachers in the classroom at any given time, Choate said.

“It’ll be a very busy environment, but the curriculum will keep everyone right on task,” Choate said.

Staff said students will work on their own desktop comput-

ers for the class period – something they haven’t gotten to do before.

Choate described the former middle school labs as outdated and said the renovation will be the best fit for the new curriculum.

Project Lead the Way organizers said the activity-, project- and problem-based curriculum gives students a chance to apply what they know, develop unique strategies and lead their own learning. Units include robotics, flight and space, DNA and crime scene analysis.

Project Lead the Way is a pre-engineering program once students enter high school designed as a four-year sequence before college. Electives include Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics and Civil Engineering and Architecture.

Harris said he’s seen the transitional program in the works in other districts and described it as “phenomenal.”

Barrington 220 Educational Foundation member Kari Frankenberg said she hopes the program will keep middle school students, who might otherwise lose interest in math and science, engaged and curious.

About 225 students decided to enroll in the district’s high school program this spring.

BARRINGTON – Construction isn’t limited to roads this summer.

Barrington 220 staff and contractors have been busy planning and renovating the district’s two middle school technology labs for interactive student learning.

Scheduled to be complete this month, labs at Barrington’s Prairie and Station schools each will include about 60 high-end desktops for computer-aided design, three classroom projectors, 3-D printers, robotics software, a workshop assembly area, student-teacher work stations and a mechanical shop setup.

When complete, the 3,600to 3,700-square-foot labs, not including computers, will cost about $530,900 for demolition, construction, supplemental technology and furniture, Barrington 220 spokeswoman Morgan Delack said.

The computers are separate from the District 220 One to World initiative, which equips each sixth-grader with a personal iPad and seventh- and eighth-graders with a handheld PC. The Barrington 220 Educational Foundation has agreed to fund the nationwide Project Lead the Way – Gateway to Technology curriculum and computers up to $40,000 each year for the first two years of the program. Foundation members said funds have been raised through special yearround events.

Tom Campagna, Barrington 220’s director of building and grounds, said the renovations began right after school let out.

Most of the old equipment and furniture will be used in the new labs in some way, Campagna said, adding that any leftovers will be used in other areas of the district.

Campagna, who oversees most district projects, said he’s excited about the new labs.

“It will create a really good flow for students transitioning from middle to high school,” Campagna said. “I think they’ll enjoy the design aspect of the new curriculum.”

BARRINGTON – No dramatic trends can be found in Barrington’s home sales numbers.

The number of homes sold in June spiked from the previous month but was slightly down from a year earlier. Prices are up from last year.

Meanwhile, home sales in the Grayslake and Hainesville area jumped from May to June, and the median home price increased from the previous month, as well.

The June data, provided by the Mainstreet Organization of Realtors, also showed this June performed better than June 2013 in both categories.

The numbers show 52 homes were sold in June 2014, compared to 42 in May 2014 and 42 in June 2013.

The median home price was $225,000 in June 2014, compared to $199,250 in May 2014 and $180,500 in June 2013.

Round Lake saw similar increases, with 61 homes sold in June 2014. In May 2014, there were 54 sold and 58 in June 2013. The median price in June 2014 rose to $133,000

from $120,250 in May 2014 and $118,750 in June 2013.

“June was a very busy time … a lot of people had record-setting months in June compared with last year,” said Michael Parent, president of the Realtors group and vice president of Operations for Burnet Title’s Chicago Region. “That activity should continue in August and September and may carry into October or later. Last year, the market stayed busy through December.”

The numbers were a little more mixed in Fox Lake, where sales dropped from May to June but the median price rose. Six homes were sold in June 2014, compared to 19 in May; just five homes sold in Fox Lake in June 2013.

The median price this June was $165,000, up from $160,000 in May and $115,500 in June 2013.

In Antioch, sales were healthy, dipping just slightly from May, and the median price rose. There were 37 homes changing hands in June, down from May’s 42; a year ago, only 26 homes were sold in June 2013. Sales prices are trending up, from $153,500 in June 2013 to $172,500 this

JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com OAKWOOD HILLS – State Rep. David McSweeney and state Sen. Dan Duffy have joined the growing movement against a $450 million power plant proposed for Oakwood Hills.

McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, vowed Wednesday to “actively fight against” the project at the state level should it be approved locally.

Project developers would have to get state permits to construct the plant if local authorities approved i t , i n c l u d i n g David from the state McSweeney Environmental Protection Agency where McSweeney said he would oppose it.

“I’m a big supporter of natural gas plants, but they can find a better location for this,” McSweeney said, noting the proposed location was far too close to a school.

“There are just too many questions, and frankly, I need

to represent the local citizens who have a very legitimate concern.”

McSweeney said he also was greatly concerned about the water usage of the plant, estimated to need 1.5 million gallons of water a day to operate. Developers said all the water could come from neighboring wastewater treatment facilities though a backup groundwater source would be available in emergencies.

Natural gas development and bringing business into Illinois is important, McSweeney said, but not at the cost of the health and well-being of residents.

Duffy, R-Lake Barrington,

Tower Lakes gunman dead after shooting SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA TOWER LAKES – A 59-year-old Tower Lakes resident was pronounced dead in the Chicago Loop on July 31 after a shooting, authorities said.

Officials said Anthony Defrances of Tower Lakes shot ArrowStream CEO Steven LaVoie, 54, of La Grange in

the head and stomach about 9:50 a.m. in the 17th floor of the Bank of America building in downtown Chicago before the gunman took his own life.

According to police, the incident occurred when LaVoie had a one-on-one meeting with Defrances, who was recently demoted at work during a company downsizing.

Defrances was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.

LaVoie was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital by ambulance and was listed in critical condition. Bank employees were given an all-clear about 10:45 a.m.

The shooting is still under investigation.

Area man charged after crashing into pool SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON HILLS – An uninjured Schaumburg man faces driving under the influence charges after his car was towed out of a residential Barrington Hills swimming pool in the early hours of July 31.

Bikramjit S. Sian, 30, was arrested by Barrington Hills police on charges of driving

under the influence with a blood-alcohol concentration above .08 and failure to reduce speed after he crashed a silver 2006 Honda Coupe into the inground pool at 5 Longmeadow Court.

Dispatchers said residents were home to make the 911 call and pull Sian from the fully submerged car before paramedics arrived about 4 a.m.

Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District officials said Sian was the only person in the car. Officials said Sian was taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates for evaluation, but no injuries were reported.

The crash is still under investigation by Barrington Hills police.

Writers workshop to welcome author at art center SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – A writing workshop will be presented from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 4, in the Performing Arts Center at The Garlands, 1000 Garlands Ave., Barrington. Keynote guest speaker Emily Leibert will present her lecture, “How to Become a Successful Author.”

Leibert, author of “When We Fall,” will highlight tips for getting started in writing, finding a literary agent, getting published, marketing and more, according to a news release.

The event is sponsored by the Barrington Writers’ Workshop, which is celebrating its 36th year of helping local writers improve their craft and connect with others. The

group meets weekly to provide constructive critique on works in progress.

Writers from all genres are welcome. The event is $10 for nonmembers; free for members. Refreshments will be provided. Registration is required.

Call Bev at 847-650-3129 to register. Visit www.barringtonwriters.org for information.

echoed McSweeney’s concerns over the project and said the process needed to slow down as it is the first power plant of its kind proposed in the country. He added village officials only recently reached out to him and he had many more questions than answers.

“It reminds me of Springfield a little bit in that I don’t see any transparency,” he said. “I’m kind of surprised we didn’t hear about this project a long time ago.”

In a joint news release, two McHenry County board members – Donna Kurtz and Michael Walkup, both Republicans from Crystal Lake – heralded the state lawmakers for

their opposition to the project.

Kurtz called the move “incredibly brave and praiseworthy.” Walkup added the companies behind the proposed power plant “should move quickly to respect the community, officially close out this project and communicate these intentions to the public.”

The state lawmakers join a growing opposition movement among local residents, including District 46 school board members and officials. Many have expressed concerns over the health, environmental and real estate effects the 430-megawatt, natural gas plant would have on the area.

An indoor Drive-in Movie?

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BARRINGTON – Wheels were spinning July 29 as several local children and their caretakers worked to construct cardboard-box cars at the Barrington Area Library.

During the Drive-in Movie event, children ages 4 to 7 were able to experience the thrill of an outdoor movie theater – except indoors, with less bugs

and more crafts.

The children enjoyed animated short films after they built and climbed inside their cars. Handmade license plates displayed each child’s name.

Snacks were served as well.

More family friendly events are listed on the Barrington Area Library’s online calendar. Visit www. barringtonarealibrary.org for information.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LAKE BARRINGTON – Online ordering will be available in early August for Citizen for Conservation’s Fall Native Tree and Shrub Sale.

The event is an opportunity to add native woody plants to area properties, according to a news release.

Autumn is an ideal time for planting trees and shrubs because the cool weather allows the plants to establish roots in their new location before spring rain and summer heat stimulate top growth. Trees and shrubs planted in the fall need less watering and maintenance than those planted in the spring, the release states.

P l a n t i n f o r m a t i o n , i ncluding pictures, growing requirements and wildlife benefits will be available at www.citizensforconservation.org.

All orders must be placed

by Sept. 2 and picked up on Sept. 20 at CFC headquarters, 459 West Highway 22 in Lake Barrington. Special arrangements can be made upon request.

A special presentation of native trees and shrubs will be made at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19, at the Barrington Village Hall, 200 S. Hough St. RSVP at cfc@citizensforconservation.org or call 847-382-7283 for information or a paper order form.

OFF THE DEEP END Judi Veoukas walk with our neighbor, the latter a wellspring of worry-inducing knowledge. He’d informed my spouse, whom then informed me, armadillos cause leprosy, and the little mammals are coming our way.

Right now, they seem to be savoring life in Missouri, but some have been spotted in southern Illinois, one allegedly wearing a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap. Southern Illinois is only eight hours by car from northern Illinois. It probably takes somewhat longer if you’re traveling in an armadillo pack, but eventually

Lake County could be their vacation destination.

Terrified upon hearing this, I searched for the armadillo-leprosy connection online, and found the following: According to the KSPR website, the ABC affiliate near Springfield, Mo., “Armadillos can contract and carry leprosy. However, the only known way they can transfer this disease is when humans eat undercooked armadillo meat.”

KSPR’s site also stated, “Armadillos often end up as roadkill because they have a habit of jumping in the air when startled. This can be deadly when they are underneath a moving vehicle.”

This really scared me because we were near Springfield, Mo., a couple of weeks ago, and I’d eaten an awfully

rare “hamburger” at a roadside restaurant. In retrospect, my meat tasted a little leathery and hard-shell like.

That I might have consumed raw armadillo meat is based on the following worrisome scenario in my head: The owner/chef of that little roadside diner ran over a startled armadillo, and, as he scraped it off the underside of his car, said to himself, “This would make a great new item on tonight’s menu. I’ll call it `Hamburger Surprise.’”

When I completely convinced myself that I’d eaten raw armadillo, I again went to the Internet, this time to check for symptoms of leprosy. According to the Center for Disease Control website, these include, but are not limited to, growths on the skin

(yup), eye problems (yup) and a stuffy nose (yup).

It’s not just my possibly falling victim to leprosy that worries me. Topping my growing list of fears, I’m now concerned that Camilla, in her plot to seize the throne, will invite Queen Elizabeth for dinner and on her menu will be cottage pie, a popular British dish, normally made with minced beef. However, Camilla’s cottage pie will not contain minced beef. It will be filled with raw armadillo meat. The next Globe headline will scream, “Camilla bakes queen a cottage pie.

Queen keels over from leprosy.”

I’m a worrier, and according to tabloid headlines, I’m right to agonize over everything. I know this because bad things do happen to perfectly innocent people.

Just the other day, while in line at the supermarket, I read a Globe magazine headline that shouted, “Evil Camilla caught in plot to seize throne!” Is it any wonder I panic? Why is the sweet old queen being targeted? What did she do to Camilla? Does MY daughter-in-law want to kill me?

My husband, on the other hand, worries about nothing.

In a word, he is laid-back. Or is that two words? I worry about stuff like that.

My husband, however, does “concern himself” with certain oddities. For example, he came home from a

Fighting trafficking in the foster care system For too many children in the foster care system, their lives have been filled with instability, abuse and neglect. Often these children are passed from home to home not knowing how long they will stay in one place or who they can trust. The psychological toll of such an environment makes it all too easy for human trafficking rings to target vulnerable foster care COMMUNITY youth and force them into VOICE what can only be described as Peter modern day slavery. That is why lawmakers, community Roskam leaders and law enforcement agencies are joining forces to prevent the estimated 104,000 children in foster care from becoming victims of physical and psychological abuse.

Last month, I joined my colleagues in passing the bipartisan Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act, which makes critical reforms to our foster care laws, working to identify those most vulnerable to predators and take concrete steps to protect these children from abuse. First, the bill increases the reporting requirements for foster parents and child welfare agencies, encouraging them to identify at-risk youth and develop new ways to ensure better information is provided to caseworkers assigned to these children.

Our legislation also works to address current foster care policies that can make it difficult for children to participate in sports, sleep over at a friend’s house, obtain a driver’s license, or get a part-time job – all common rites of passage for kids making the transition into adulthood. Although well-intentioned, in some cases these strict rules can lead to a child becoming isolated and separated from family and friends, making them more vulnerable to victimization.

The Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act offers financial support and incentives for the adoption of foster children to families who otherwise couldn’t afford it. Providing these children more normalcy through social development activities and increasing their chance of adoption into a permanent family is key to not only protecting them from predators but setting up foster care children for long-term success.

Through partnerships at the federal, state and local level, we can go after the criminals who commit this horrible crime, and protect the most vulnerable members of our society. These reforms are a huge step forward, and I will continue to press forward to stamp out the scourge of human trafficking in our communities.

SOUND OFF

Some residents should live in a dome I’m responding to the letter writer about dogs peeing in their yard and how gross it is. They might wanna put a dome over their house because I have seen hundreds of squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, birds, rabbits and cats, to name a few, in people’s yards. Do they really think not one of those mammals pees in their yard? A dome would be good.

And while we’re at it, while you’re out walking yourself, watch out for things coming out of trees because squirrels, skunks, raccoons and birds all live in trees. And you never know what will come out of them. So, I just thought I’d mention that. Get a dome.

A nation of immigrants I’m calling about this illegal immigrant situation, and I, like many people, agree we shouldn’t have to pay taxes to support people who have entered our country illegally.

Yet, at the same time, I think people are very deceived at what our amazing immigrant ancestors did compared to what is happening now, especially the caller that stated their ancestors came here and couldn’t get a job until they could speak English, which they had to pay to learn and go to school. Guess what? Obviously untrue. Most immigrants came here with very little money in their pocket, and they couldn’t get a job as a banker or lawyer, so they worked as laborers in factories until they could learn enough English to get a better job. If we didn’t have a lot of immigrants doing these jobs, we couldn’t even hire an American-born person to do a lot of these jobs. They don’t want to do it. They don’t want to clean toilets and scrub floors and work hard for minimum wage. It is these

Inundated with calls I’m calling to ask what happened to the Do Not Call list on my telephone. I’m inundated with calls, maybe six to 10 a day, and I’ve been on the Do Not Call list for about two years and just lately it’s gotten absolutely ridiculous.

Oh my God, I couldn’t believe a statement I recently read in Sound Off. Regardless of how you feel about what to do with the children who are coming to our borders, the statement that “you just do not give your children away to another country” was one of the most insensitive things I’ve ever heard. I hope to God it wasn’t made by a parent. I can only guess how terrible it must be to send a child away because you believe it’s the only way to keep them safe and alive. If you are a Christian, please ask yourself, what would Jesus do? Thank you.

Restaurant reviews

A taste of summer – and good food ANTIOCH – On the weekend of Antioch’s Taste of Summer, we wanted to savor the flavor of summer, but we also longed for the taste of food.

As we walked past sidewalk sales on the village’s Main Street, we noticed four tables outside of a restaurant – David’s Bistro. We walked in. A cloth separated the entranceway from the dining room – a nice touch so that customers could have a little privacy.

It was too nice of a day for us, though, to eat inside. We asked for a sidewalk table.

Small signs near the ground on each side of the front door read, “David’s Doggy Bistro.” I asked the waiter about it, but he had no idea why they were there.

When the waiter listed the specials, both of us wanted the trout. Unlike a lot of people, my date and I actually like fish, so sometimes we find ourselves getting the same meal.

She accuses me of copying her.

For the purposes of Mystery Diner, we got different meals – she ordered pork tenderloin, while I got the almond-crusted trout.

Shortly after, the waiter delivered bread and butter to the table .

“The butter is sweet,” I told my date.

“I was going to say the same thing,” she replied.

Because of the Taste of Summer, we saw a lot of people pass. A nicely dressed young couple walked by our table a number of times, perhaps taking in the nice evening before watching a play at the nearby theater.

Meanwhile, parents dropped off their children for the festival, including a teenage boy with an asthma inhaler in hand. An older trio got out of a car. One asked whether the others had heard of the restaurant. “We love the bistro,” another said.

We got our salads, with the house dressing. Very tasty. The salad also had fresh mushrooms. For most of my life, I avoided mushrooms, but my date convinced me to give them a try a couple of years ago.

Now, I eat fresh mushrooms, just not the cooked variety.

My trout was served over a bed of linguine. Both of our plates came with broccoli, cauliflower and sweet potato chips, making for a nutritious meal.

My date liked her pork tenderloin.

“The meat was tender,” she said. “The potatoes had a lot of flavor to them. The vegetables were soft, but not mushy.

They had a little snap.”

After we finished, the owner came out. He asked about our meals. We gave a thumbs up.

Of course, we had to ask him about the doggy signs.

He said the restaurant often has bowls out for dogs. So this bistro takes care of customers – and dogs.
