BARRINGTON – I think it easily can be said that some of the biggest changes, locally and nationally, start with one person being brave. I’ve met numerous brave souls since I started my work in Barrington. Ann Pride’s story was a heartbreaker, but her friends and family now spend countless hours raising money for childhood cancer research. She knew her son Jeffrey’s chances for a miracle were slim, but kept going in hopes his trials would benefit future children. Joy Wagner didn’t let her multiple sclerosis diagnosis define her. She actually continues to redefine multiple sclerosis at fitMS, helping people with neurological disorders manage their conditions through movement and lifestyle adaptations. And there was Nancy Gianni of GiGi’s Playhouse, who once felt paralyzed by her daughter’s Down syndrome diagnosis. She thought life as her family knew it would be over, and instead she’s led one of the most exciting lives a mom
TARAH THORNE Barrington Life reporter could ask for, founding Down syndrome achievement centers throughout the world. Now, in this issue of Barrington Life, there’s Tim O’Connor. Tim has preserved one of Barrington’s historic icons – The Catlow theater, and now he’s selflessly hosting what he thinks just may be the theater’s first-ever fundraiser. O’Connor is a Type 2 diabetic, meaning he developed diabetes later in his life. After adjusting to medication and making many lifestyle changes – no more popcorn, candy and conscession-stand sodas – he keeps up with
business and said he considers himself to be on the luckier end of the disease. Type 1 diabetes can be developed at any age, and it’s a bit more difficult to manage, as it usually requires daily insulin injections. Children who develop type 1 diabetes can lead an active lifestyle just like any other child, but Walgreen’s pharmacist and former Catlow employee Casey Kozlowski explained that the constant worry placed on the shoulders of type 1 diabetics is far from fair. That’s why O’Connor would like to host a family movie day and donate all proceeds to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which continues to search for a cure for not just children, but all diabetics. For those of you who can’t make the Catlow fundraiser Saturday, I encourage you to join me in the “2013 Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes” at Busse Woods on Oct. 6 in Schaumburg. Read the Catlow story on page 6 or visit www.jdrf.org to learn how you can help O’Connor and the JDRF come one step closer to a cure.
COMMUNITY CORNER: CODY & CARL’S BLVD.
CORRECTION
Jennifer Schoonmaker is an animal enthusiast and self-proclaimed shopping addict. As owner of Cody & Carl’s dog boutique, she is surrounded by all that she is passionate about. Schoonmaker spoke with Barrington Life about her inspiration for the boutique and told us how it differs from the usual pet store.
In the Aug. 26 issue of Barrington Life, an article titled “District to hire deputy chief, at least 30 staff” on page 6 incorrectly stated that the next Barrington Countryside Protection District board meeting will be held Sept. 9. The correct date is Sept. 16.
What was your inspiration for opening Cody & Carl’s Blvd.? Have you always been a pet enthusiast? The inspiration for Cody & Carl’s Blvd. was my dogs, Cody and Carl. After moving to the Barrington area, I wanted to start my own business and have my work center around what I love. From birth, I have always loved all animals, Cody, a Shih Tzu, and Carl, a Lhasa Apso, were my first adult pets. We loved this area and really thought it would be a great fit to put Cody & Carl’s Blvd. in Barrington. I especially loved The Foundry Mall.
What can be found in your store? How is it different from chain pet stores? Cody & Carl’s is different from all big-box chains and other pet boutiques because we stock the store with unique, harder-to-find items, and we are competitively priced to those big-box stores. Whenever possible, we buy made in USA items. All our treats are USA-made. We offer personal one-on-one help, so customers never waste their money on items they didn’t need or items that are not appropriate for their breed or age of dog.
What can be found in the store’s bakery? What makes your baked treats “good” for pups? Our bakery items are all specially prepared by industry pet bakers. The ingredients are natural

and healthy. We carry a large selection of dog birthday items that make people smile and laugh. We treat people’s pets just like kids of the household with birthday cakes, hats and balloons.
You ship your baked goods via UPS. Do you sell anything else this way? How can someone plan an order? We do not sell e-commerce but offer on each page of our website to call us and we will shop with you over the phone and ship anything via UPS. We like the personal connection between our staff and customers.
What are your future plans? Cody and Carl have many furry siblings: Hope, a Shih Tzu, Frank and Rick who are kitties, and Romeo, Juliet and Clark, horses. Cody and Carl also have opened their home to foster puppies for Animal House Shelter in Huntley. Cody & Carl’s Blvd. expanded two years ago when we added Premium Pet food and, more recently, a boutique collar section.

MEAT THEIR MAKERS BHS Broncos, Broncettes face off in ultimate burger contest By STEPHANIE KOHL Barrington Life Contributor While the Barrington High School football team and cheerleaders generally maintain a united front, battle lines have been drawn for the Meatheads Burger Battle. Each team created a special burger, available for $6.75 each at Meatheads, 500 N. Hough St., through Sept. 22. Both teams are now tasked with spreading the word about their burger and getting people to purchase them at Meatheads. “Coming to a new community, we’re always looking for new ways to branch out and reach out to the community,” said Joe Sanders, director of marketing for Meatheads, which opened in Barrington in July. The Bronco is the creation of the football players and features a one-third pound certified Angus beef patty, American cheese, bacon, Cajun fries, ketchup, lettuce and grilled onion. The “Billy” Burger is the creation of the cheerleaders and features a one-third pound certified Angus beef patty, provolone cheese, bacon, kechapeno, buffalo ranch, lettuce and raw onion. Kelly Curran, a junior on the cheerleading squad, said the team was presented with a list of ingredients and had to bring ideas in for their burger. Then, they got samples for tasting. “We narrowed it down to two, which were both good,” Curran said. “The sauce separates it (their chosen burger). It gives you a little kick.” The competition kicked off Aug. 26 with a Burger Battle eating competition, pitting three cheerleaders and five football players against each other to see who could eat three one-third pound burgers with the works the fastest. Competitors included football players Blake Jacobs and Edwin Lee, both juniors, and Evan Strayc, Colin Castagna and Vito Anzalone, all seniors. Representing the cheerleaders were seniors Luka Lumovic, Taylor Renshaw and

Barrington High School senior Taylor Renshaw was one of two cheerleaders to compete during the Aug. 26 Barrington Burger Battle at Meatheads. Kathleen Berry. Lee was the winner, devouring the first burger in 50 seconds and finishing all three in 3 minutes, 45 seconds. Jacobs was crowned most creative for dipping his burger in his water glass. With mustard running down his face, Anzalone was crowned messiest. And without finishing a single burger, Berry was crowned slowest. “I feel awful,” Lee announced after finishing his final burger, adding it will probably be a couple weeks before he eats a burger again. He did, however, take a minute to talk up The Bronco. “I think it’s pretty creative and it was made by a group of guys,” he said. Lumovic, who finished his third burger just as the five minutes for the contest expired, said the burger created by the cheerleaders tasted awesome. And where Lee had no interest in burgers following the contest, Lumovic felt the opposite. “I’m feeling great,” he said. “I might order more burgers.” While both teams will benefit from the Burger Battle,

Jacobs has tasted both burgers and said both are deli-
cious, which makes for a good competition. “We have to raise funds for all the amenities and all the extras,” Jacobs said on the importance of fundraising. He said the Burger Battle also brings in two other things important to the football and
cheerleading programs: community awareness and student participation. Meatheads features burgers made to order using only 100 percent certified Angus beef, hand-cut fries, hand-breaded chicken tenders, hand-dipped milkshakes and more.

Special matinee proceeds benefit juvenile research By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Ever since The Catlow Theater owner Tim O’Connor was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a year and a half ago, he has considered himself to be on the luckier end. “It’s not that bad for me,” O’Connor said. “I’m not on insulin. I just take a pill, watch what I eat and feel for the kids who are being diagnosed with Type 1.” O’Connor, with the help of former Catlow employee Casey Kozlowski, is hosting a family-friendly matinée fundraiser to benefit the national Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on Saturday, Sept. 7. Tickets include an 11 a.m. showing of the first “Despicable Me” movie, popcorn and a drink. The Catlow will donate the
“Barrington is a great community and people are always more than happy to come together to support events like this. I couldn’t do this on my own.” Casey Kozlowski Former employee of The Catlow provided concessions and movie licensing fee. All proceeds will go to the JDRF, which funded more than $110 million in Type 1 diabetes research in 2012 and is supporting research projects in 17 countries. Virginia Menzimer, the diabetes care center coordinator at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, said the program sees adults with both types of diabetes and provides individualized disease management education. The said both types can be deadly for adults or children if not properly
managed through food, exercise and insulin balance. “Diabetes is a chronic disease without a sure cause or cure,” Menzimer said. “It’s underfunded and needs more awareness.” Kozlowski has worked with Walgreen’s Pharmacy & Health for 16 years and said her teen job working at the theater prepared her for a pharmacy career and opened her eyes to concession limitations for diabetic movie-goers.

26 million Americans struggle with diabetes Annual health care cost for each person with diabetes is about $11,700 • DIABETES Continued from page 5 “There was always a rush to serve concessions whenever a movie was about to start, just like busy times at the pharmacy,” Kozlowski said. “And now I see how hard diabetes can be for people living with Type 1 on insulin. They have to stop and think every time food crosses their mouth. There’s no other disease that you must think about so often.” Diabetes occurs in two major types – Type 1 and Type 2. These disorders refer to the body’s inability to regulate its blood-sugar levels. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables the body to get energy from food. It typically begins in childhood, but can occur at any age and last a life-
If you go Tickets, which are $10 each, can be purchased at the door or in advance at the The Catlow theater box office or at Boloney’s Sandwich Shop. Call the theater at 847-381-0777 or visit http://catlowjdrf.ticketleap.com/ tickets/ for more information. To register for Good Shepherd diabetes management services, call the scheduling department at 847-842-4130, ext. 6, and bring your physician’s order. Monthly support groups are held cost-free for Type 2 diabetics. time. Management requires multiple injections of insulin each day. Type 2 is a metabolic disorder where the body can still produce insulin, but is unable to use it effectively. This type of diabetes usually occurs in adulthood and does not always require insulin injections. Kozlowski said the most common diabetic misconception she has noticed working in the health field is that people think it’s a lifestyle consequence. “Type 1 is almost 100 per-
cent genetic,” she said. According to the JDRF, 26 million Americans have diabetes, with a new case being diagnosed every 30 seconds. It is the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic lower-limb amputations, and new cases of blindness among U.S. adults. Funding is important since the annual cost for health care for each person living with diabetes in 2009 was $11,700 – more than double what a nondiabetic paid at $4,400. O’Connor said maintaining his condition takes a lot
of diligence and can be especially difficult in a theater environment. Luckily, Tim opened Boloney’s Sandwich Shop in 1981. The restaurant is connected to the theater, allowing guests to grab a bite and even bring their sandwich, soup or salad selection into the movie. “It’s tough being on a restricted diet, surrounded by popcorn, candy, pop and ice cream,” O’Connor said. “But I’m eating healthier and proud we don’t serve any greasy nachos or fried items, just good quality, healthy food.” Menzimer said diabetes management plans vary by patient and once a diabetic knows how to balance his or her insulin levels, he or she can lead an active lifestyle just like a nondiabetic. The goal of the JDRF is to progressively remove the impact of Type 1 diabetes from people’s lives until it creates a world
without it. More than 80 percent of the JDRF’s spending goes directly to research and research-related education. A 10-year-old “youth ambassador” for the national JDRF will be present at The Catlow fundraiser to speak about his experience with diabetes before the movie. Kozlowski said she is excited to bring The Catlow its first-ever community fundraiser and hopes to fill the show to capacity at 625 seats. “The size of the venue and proximity to families is perfect,” Kozlowski said. “Barrington is a great community and people are always more than happy to come together to support events like this. I couldn’t do this on my own. The community will make it a success.” O’Connor said he would like to open the theater to more charity events, within reason.

Fire district provides details of 2014 staffing LAKE BARRINGTON – The number of on-duty firefighters at the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District’s two stations will double beginning Jan. 1 when the district no longer operates in conjunction with the village of Barrington. In a news release dated Aug. 27, district trustees said that this new plan, approved at the Aug. 26 board meeting, will enable the district to simultaneously respond to multiple calls from each of their stations, something that they have not been able to do with six firefighters/ paramedics operating from the district’s two stations. Under the new plan, the district will staff its Barrington Hills and Lake Barrington stations with at least five staff members – six maximum – at each station per 24-hour shift, including one company officer and five firefighters. A shift commander will oversee all shift
operations from the district headquarters in the Lake Barrington station and one of the five firefighters at each station will be a parttime, paid-on-premise firefighter/paramedic or emergency medical technician. The district said it is exploring opportunities to partner with neighboring districts to share the costs of paid, on-premise personnel who would be available to serve with multiple districts as needed. In preparation for Jan. 1, the district is working on filling a deputy chief position and two district chief positions. Chief Jeff Swanson said trustees may choose to fill those positions over the next several months and will hire all of the former village-employed Barrington firefighters who will be laid off when the village-district intergovernmental agreement expires Dec. 31.

As a board member for four years, I have worked closely with Pam Reiss, our executive director. That will continue, but I will also be getting involved with the dayto-day items with our very caring, compassionate and knowledgeable staff at Wellness Place. I’m excited to learn more from them.
SHEFALI BHUVA WELLNESS CENTER BOARD CHAIRMAN SOUTH BARRINGTON – Shefali Bhuva is the chairwoman of the board at Wellness Place, a cancer support center in Palatine. She works at www.Living60010.com in business development and has been a resident of South Barrington for 15 years. She also is an active volunteer at Barrington High School, Rose Elementary and Barrington Junior Women’s Club. Prior to these roles, Shefali worked at Northern Trust for more than 11 years in client servicing and operations. Bhuva spoke with Barrington Life via email about her passion for serving the community. How did you first hear about Wellness Place? What drew you in? A close friend of mine invited me to join Wellness Place’s Women’s Auxiliary. I attended one of the first galas in April 2003 and joined a month later. Additionally, one of my best friends was diagnosed with cancer around that time and didn’t have a resource like WP in her area (Philadelphia). She wished she had access to the same services Wellness Place offered, so I felt it was important for me to get involved and help in my own community.
You’ve worked on numerous fundraising events and community projects for Wellness Place. What has been most rewarding? There are two things I have found most rewarding. The first is that I know the funds I have helped raise really make a difference. Participants rely on WP as their lifeline to help them get through their diagnosis. The second is when I meet someone in need who has not heard of Wellness Place and I can connect them.
The Wellness Place is in Palatine, but you reside
in South Barrington. With your new position, how do you plan to expand Wellness Place in the greater Barrington community? Are there any aspects of the program that need development? Wellness Place’s services are available to anyone who lives or works in the northwest suburbs, so my focus is to make sure that everyone in the area knows that we are here and that our services are free of charge. We are in the process of expanding our services into several oncology offices, and conducting programs in satellite spaces. These moves allow us to provide our expertise to those in need who cannot come to our main location. Also, Wellness Place was started by two Barrington residents and has been part of the greater Barrington community since inception.
You have a business background. How will this knowledge allow you to advance an organization with such a charitable aim? Maintaining a close eye on our budget while being able to expand our “products” is critical to any nonprofit’s
What do you enjoy to do outside of working with Wellness Place? Where can we find you on a personal day? I love to travel and experience new things, whether it’s in Chicago or out of the area. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with my family and close friends.
What fall/winter activities do you have planned for Wellness Place?

Shefali Bhuva of South Barrington has been appointed as the chairwoman of the board of Wellness Place. She said the organization is a lifeline for anyone diagnosed with cancer and a support system for friends and family. success. The needs of our participants have changed in the last 10 years as cancer survivors are living longer and have different issues. We must continue to evolve to meet their needs. We have added new programs and discussion groups, expanded our presence in local oncology offices as well as increased our community outreach efforts. Communicating our goals to our service area and partnering with other organizations locally is essential as well, as we need their support too.
Do you have any personal experience with cancer support? Why is a support system such a vital part of patient care? Since I joined WP, several of my friends and their families have used our services. The support system we provide complements traditional medical treatments like chemo and radiation. Howev-
er, our services take it a step further, as we are able to help the entire family, caregivers and friends/colleagues. Our clinicians understand what our participants are experiencing and provide the support needed to take the next step. We offer one-on-one counseling, pain and stress management programs, support groups and educational programs.
What would be your advice for anyone recently diagnosed or trying to support a friend/family member who has been diagnosed? Call Wellness Place immediately and set up an appointment with one of our amazing clinicians. They are experts in helping newly diagnosed patients understand treatment options, family counseling, nutrition, and physical and emotional changes.
The fall is a busy time for us. The Sea Blue Prostate Cancer Run/Walk on Sept. 15 in Lincoln Park (in Chicago) raises awareness for prostate cancer. This will be our ninth year and each year the walk draws more people – last year we had 1,300 people register and 80 teams. Visit www. seablueprostatecancerwalk. org for more information. Our annual gala is Oct. 19 at the Wickstrom Auto Group in Barrington. The theme is a “Golden Birthday” celebration as we opened Wellness Place’s doors on the “13th” day of September 2000. Visit www.wellnessplace.org for more information.

Barrington Youth Dance Ensemble hosts auditions for ‘The Nutcracker’
By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – It’s still summer, but the holidays are just around the corner for the Barrington Youth Dance Ensemble of Barrington Dance Academy, where snowflakes, mice and Sugar Plum Fairies are a hot topic. “Nutcracker” auditions will be from noon to 4:15 p.m. Sept. 8 at Barrington Dance Academy, with sessions divided by age groups. BYDE dancers are given first preference, but dancers from all backgrounds, ages 7 to adult, are invited to audition. Barrington Dance Academy owner and BYDE founder/artistic director Mary Brennan said the 19th annual “Nutcracker” production, to be held at Barrington High School, changes from year to year with new costumes, visiting artists, different sets and fresh choreography. “I thought the Barrington area would benefit from a high-caliber, professional production,” Brennan said. “It’s great to see quality in your own backyard at a much lower cost than productions in the city.” Victoria Van Hollen, a freshman at Barrington High School, began dancing at age 3 and performed her first “Nutcracker” with the BYDE at age 7. She was on stage for the entire show last year after scoring the lead role of Clara. “The ballet is about Clara and her dream of receiving a nutcracker who comes to life,” Van Hollen said. “I remember the day I performed like it was yesterday. “ Van Hollen said she achieved her own dream by performing Clara’s dream. “It was my very first goal, ever, and I achieved it,” she said. “Now I’m excited to experience other roles and give the other dancers a chance for the lead.” Victoria’s mother, Robyn Van Hollen, said “Nutcracker” is a Barrington tradition and a great opportunity for participants to learn the dance industry. “You have younger dancers learning from the full-compa-

ny ensemble dancers, along with professional guest artists who are teaching the ensemble dancers,” Robyn Van Hollen said. “This experience is second to none.” Greg Merriman, a dance teacher at Illinois State University, has visited and choreographed the holiday production for the BYDE each year. Brennan said he will
oversee auditions this year, giving the dancers choreography to replicate on the spot. “He’s looking for people who are good listeners and also having fun,” Brennan said. Roughly 30 dancers, ages 12 and up, already dance with the BYDE, performing at an annual gala, a spring show and the “Nutcracker” produc-
tion. Brennan said dancers are ranked into four categories – trainee, apprentice, senior apprentice or full-company member. She expects to see 100 dancers audition for the “Nutcracker” and said she will fill 70 to 80 additional casting positions (aside from visiting professionals) to take the stage at BHS Dec. 6, 7 and 8. Casting selections will be posted on the
BYDE website by Wednesday, Sept. 11. There is a $20 registration fee to audition. Carmel Catholic High School sophomore and Lake Barrington resident Juliana Nikolich has been dancing for nine years. Like Van Hollen, Nikolich has been a part of seven “Nutcracker” productions, taking on a variety of roles including a mouse, angel, soldier, party guest and snowflake. She said she was terrified to audition her first year but found the four to five judges to be nice and the environment to be comfortable. “It’s craziness when the cast selection is announced,” Nikolich said. “Everyone is always super excited for everyone else.”

Now, in Cary, IL, one doctor has what may be the most important breakthrough in non-surgical back pain treatments. Before and after MRI studies have shown disc bulges shrink in size – even with the most painful cases of L4-L5 herniations. If you’ve had disc problems for years, recently injured your back, or you’re suffering with sciatica, you must hear about these new studies. Scientific studies tell us that spinal discs are responsible for most of the aches and pains people suffer from. Discs act like a cushion between our backbones and allow for a space at each level so the nerves can exit the spinal column. When these discs get injured or wear out from bad posture, they begin to degenerate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. If the herniations occur at L4-L5, they can severely compromise the large sciatic nerve, causing muscle weakness, tingling, and severe pain. The most common invasive treatment for disc herniations is surgery. This costs quite a bit of money. Even with health insurance the patient is left with their own portion of the bill, in excess of $10,000-$15,000, and sometimes more. The recovery time and missed work can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months, not to mention the obvious severe risks associated with all surgery. But here’s the biggest problem… there is a high failure rate of back surgery. One medical study found that on average, 53% of L5-S1 back surgeries fail to produce relief of symptoms (International Orthop 1987.) Before You Go Under The Knife And Opt For Spinal Surgery… You should seriously consider a less invasive approach called spinal decompression. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new technology that has been proven to reverse disc herniations. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing. Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, every so often I even catch a patient napping during sessions. You’ll simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to focus on your problem area – then the advanced decompression computer system will do
the rest. Most patients feel better with just a few treatments, and best of all there will be no dangerous drugs, no invasive procedures, and no painful exercises. The Research Behind This Treatment
For those suffering with herniated lumbar discs, a non-surgical, drugless solution is helping patients be pain free.
One clinical study has shown non-surgical spinal decompression to be extremely successful (good or excellent relief) in 86% of patients with herniated discs and degenerative joint disease – without the side effects.
Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed… “Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function…No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).” As you can see, spinal decompression has a high success rate with helping disc herniations, sciatica, and back pain. In just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again. Feel the Improvement – and Say “Yes” to Life Again With my “Decompression Evaluation” we’ll be able find the problem and then correct it. Think of how you’ll feel in just a few short weeks. See and feel your life change for the better. Start your body on the way to pain-free, normal living. Feel tight joints rest, relax, free up. Feel muscles tied in knots become more supple. Feel strength in your muscles increase. You’re able to live life like a normal person again, without back pain – able to play with your kids, enjoy time with friends, and finally get a good night’s rest.

By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Appealing to customers’ taste buds long has been a calling for brothers Ted and Andy Zatos, whose next step on the culinary road is a trending sweet treat. Ted Zatos, of Bloomingdale, and Andy Zatos, of Addison, owners of Brunch Cafés in Fox River Grove, McHenry and Roselle, recently opened BlueCherry Frozen Yogurt in Barrington. A second BlueCherry is set to open in McHenry by month’s end, and a third and fourth are planned for Huntley and Lake Zurich, said Alexa Ulrich, general manager. “They are workhorses,” Ulrich said of her bosses. “They’re always thinking ahead.” The Zatoses have leapt into a competitive market with their latest endeavor. While theirs is not a franchise, frozen yogurt franchises such as Red Mango, Pinkberry and others have expanded nation-
BlueCherry Frozen Yogurt Location: 115 S. Hough St., Barrington Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday; noon to 9 p.m. Sundays Specialty: Self-serve frozen yogurt shop featuring a dozen flavors, dozens of toppings wide. Business Insider noted a roughly 500 percent markup in a 10-ounce serving of frozen yogurt at shops charging 59 cents an ounce (BlueCherry charges 47 cents). The challenge is standing out from the competition. And Ulrich said BlueCherry is up to the task. “Everyone loves [frozen yogurt],” Ulrich said, noting the fare is low- to non-fat and the yogurt options contain live, active cultures, appealing to the health-conscious crowd. “You just kind of have to really differentiate yourself and go the extra mile.”
For BlueCherry, which opened in June in Barrington to a waiting crowd that rounded the block along Hough Street, differentiation equates with community involvement. The shop sponsors local high school and youth sports teams, and keeps an eye out for collaborative opportunities large and small. Along with offering an ever-changing array of flavors such as Georgia peach, cake batter and peanut butter, and a dizzying choice of toppings, BlueCherry has set about developing customer loyalty through simple good deeds, Ulrich said. Take it from Barrington residents Julia Stegvik, 12, and Reilly Ramsey, 11, who, with permission, stood in front of the store Aug. 19 selling lemonade for $1 a glass to benefit victims of the Moore, Okla., tornado. “This is our third time here, and they said whatever we make here, they’ll match it,” Reilly said.

Barrington plays 4 of 1st 5 on the road
BHS downs Jacobs, 22-15 ALGONQUIN – Broncos quarterback Dan Kubiak hit receiver Dylan Bingham for a 76-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, and kicker Chase Lesniak lined a 31-yard field goal late in the period to help lead Barrington to a 22-15 win over Jacobs Saturday. The season opener for both teams originally was scheduled for Friday night, but storms postponed it until Saturday. Tied at 15 late in the fourth quarter, junior tailback Dylan Abel scampered into the end zone from 3 yards out to give Barrington a 22-15 lead with 1:45 left in the game. The Broncos defense held tight on Jacobs’ final drive to secure the win. Barrington starts the season 1-0.
By DAN VESKO Barrington Life contributor The Barrington Broncos are heading into week two of the regular season coming off a big road victory, but each week poses a new challenge. Prospect is next on the list, a team that boasts many offensive threats. Prospect brings a bevy of running backs to the table, and certainly will use this depth to throw off opposing defenses. In addition, the Knights also have great experience at wide receiver, which will help sophomore quarterback Matt Drew. Barrington head coach Joe Sanchez recognizes these strengths, and stresses that the Broncos will need to focus on fundamentals in order to pull out a win. “It will be a very tough game for us. We just want to make sure were going to be sound and disciplined and swarm the football,” Sanchez said. This will be Barrington’s second straight road game. Playing away from home is something the Broncos will have to get used to early this season, as four out of the first five games are on the road. The schedule may not be the most appealing, but the coaching staff feels that the core group of players is excited and ready to step up to the challenge. “They’re prepared for it, the leadership on this team really has a great mindset,” Sanchez said. “We know what we have to do and we’re excited about the challenge.” The Broncos defense showed up big this past Saturday against Jacobs, forcing turnovers and stopping the Golden Eagles from completing the two-minute drill. Due to the offensive threat that Prospect poses, Barrington
–Maureen Lynch
If you go For the second straight week, the Broncos are on the road. They play at 7 p.m. Friday at Prospect, 801 Kkensington Road, Mount Prospect. will need its defense to once again step up. Sanchez said it will be a tough matchup, but knows he has a core group capable of playing all around team defense. “We’ve got a great group of kids … and they want to do well,” he said. “Certainly it won’t be easy … we’ve got our work cut out for us.” This week will certainly test the poise of both teams and can very well come down to the last possession. Both teams have many skill players offensively, so the deciding factor will be which defense can slow the opponent down. It also will be the home opener for Prospect (801 W Kensington Rd, Mt. Prospect), so the Broncos will need to match the intensity in order to be successful.

So you want me to tell you what I think are the keys to the Bears’ 2013 season? With so much that is new, and too much that is old on this club, we could fill a book with keys to this season. So let’s start right there. 1. Can Marc Trestman in his first turn as an NFL head coach take an aging group of veterans, plug in rookies and key youngsters to almost every unit, and install and execute his offense that, when compared to what the vets had before, will be like asking them to learn to speak a new language practically overnight? The classic excuse made for quarterback Jay Cutler’s failure to produce relative to his unquestioned natural abilities is that in his first four years in Chicago, he had three
different offenses and three different coordinators. Welcome No. 4. Why will this be different? If Cutler blocks out everything but Trestman, and does exactly what he’s told, this just might succeed hugely. If he becomes distracted, frustrated, impatient, arrogant or any of the other states of mind he’s been accused of inhabiting before, look out below. 2. The offensive line is being celebrated for it’s four new starters, including the two rookies – Kyle Long and Jordan Mills – on the right side. If they can make a leap from one of the worst units in the league over the past three seasons to just average, 2013 can be a ton of fun. If they can’t, none of what Trestman will try to do will work. Newer is not always better. Clearly this group is more talented than it’s been in years with the additions of Jermon Bushrod and Long. But sometimes talent isn’t enough, and what we’ve actually seen so far is snippets of these guys against two of the worst defensive lines in the league – San

If you are more worried about the defense than the offense, you are justified. Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the keys to the success of this unit, and, quite simply, they are old by NFL standards. None appear in danger of dropping even half a step, and they can’t if the Bears are to contend. Argue all you want about the physical contributions Brian Urlacher was still able to bring to the table, his contributions as a coach on the field can’t be replaced. Israel Indonije was the second best defensive lineman on the team. Nick Roach was solid in his spot and Urlacher’s, when necessary, and Kelvin Hayden at least knew what he was doing as the nickel back. Regardless of how you replace all
of that, it represents so much that your all-pros have to be all-pros for the defense to succeed. 4. The early returns on Trestman are promising, and I’m very impressed by what I’ve seen so far. But the reason his hiring was such a surprise around the league and even a tad controversial in some circles is that this guy’s a different kind of cat, and not what any of us are used to in an NFL head coach. Because of his pleasant personality and professorial approach, we have no idea how it will wear or work when the time comes for him to get tough with someone, and it will happen. If he has to rally the troops or try and win one for the Gipper, will the players be listening, and, if they are, will it be with a straight face. I’m beginning to believe he can do it, but there’s still a lot of highway between here and there. 5. Every team in the NFL prays for good health, as do all of us as fans. For the Bears, it is an absolute must if they’re going to contend.

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON HILLS – The brick mansion at 535 Oak Knoll Road cannot be described in three words, but “quaint, airy and timeless” might be a start. New to the real estate market as of June, this Barrington Hills estate hosts unique features. Robert Parker Coffin designed the home, which was built in 1985. Coffin, now in his late 90s, owned an architecture firm in Barrington and spent 20 years serving as the Long Grove village president. He is known to have designed at least two homes in the Barrington Hills area and the original covered bridge in Long Grove. The current residents, Karl and Stephanie Kann, have lived in the home for eight years and are grateful for the previous owner’s engineering ability. Five geothermal units are distributed throughout the home, which heat and cool the house in areas including the kitchen, indoor pool and pool room. The large, indoor pool is family- and guest-friendly with a diving board. The spacious 40-by-19 foot pool is nestled inside an all-cedar room with a high-vaulted ceiling, and sliding glass doors allow for patio pool parties. The geothermal units are believed to cut utility bills by 75 percent, allowing the residents to pay just more than $5,000 for annual utilities while keeping the pool heated at 83 degrees Fahrenheit. All five geothermal units were recently replaced after three years of research by the current residents. “The machines were a little intimidating at first, but we are glad to have them,” Karl Kann said. With Coffin’s signature indoor arches and folding pocket doors, the home’s individual rooms can be made as open or private as desired. Coffin kept all of the home’s rooms open and then installed

The Oak Knoll property backs up to Flint Creek where the current residents keep honey bees. The indoor pool walks out to a large cedar deck and “extensive” landscape renovation where many trees have been implanted. double doors that fold back into the doorway, creating a paneled wall effect. There are two master bedrooms – one upstairs and one on the main level. The pool has a mechanical cover and all pool entrances have deadbolted doors. Children would attend Countryside Elementary School, Prairie Middle School and Barrington High School. Pets can roam the home or make use of the large surrounding private lot. Not only have the Kanns done “extensive landscaping” on the property, but Grisby’s Prairie, a 42-acre nature preserve, is within walking distance and the property backs into Flint Creek. The Kanns are beekeepers and keep honey bees in the backyard, something they will miss when

These residents have been most impressed with the quality of the home. “We could not have built this home now for under $3 million,” they said. “It’s very well-thought-out.” The basement came fin-
ished with 100 percent oak. One of the few additions made by the most current owners was a basement bar and granite flooring. The finished basement also holds an empty room that could be made into a fitness center. It is even fitted for a ninth household bathroom. Resort-style “men’s” and “ladies” shower and bathrooms surround the basement walk-out pool area. There is not a trace of chlorine scent throughout the home, possibly because the residents and visitors following regular “shower before and after” swimming routines or proper chemical upkeep. The Kanns keep up with the indoor pool themselves. “There’s much less cleaning than an outdoor pool would require,” Karl Kann
said. “Less leaves.” This residence contains six bedrooms and baths, and is attached to a 4.5-car garage. The unfinished attic can be tailored into additional living space as it is full-height and ready to be made into a third floor. Entire days could be spent scoping out intricate design details added by Coffin himself. The formal dining room has an original large plaster medallion around the hanging chandelier and scrollwork worked into the trim, while two oval windows throughout the home contain stainedand leaded-glass flowers. The beams of the first floor library are strewn with “tiny detail work.” “It’s a happy house,” Karl Kann said. “It’s large, but not ostentatious.”
