‘It’s all about reputation’Local detective emphasizes privacy with investigations

By TARAH [email protected]

BARRINGTON – Dave Her-tog, a local private investiga-tor, enjoys a good stakeout –minus the donuts.

Celebrating 17 years ofbusiness, Hertog and Asso-ciates Inc. continues to growin the area. The Fremd HighSchool alum, U.S. Army veter-an and FBI-trained business-man attributes his company’ssuccess to the skills possessedby both himself and his part-time staff.

“It’s all about reputation,”Hertog said. “There’s no realoath of privacy for investiga-tors, but I decided I wantedmy profession to be consid-ered reputable in all areas.My clients know they aren’tgoing to see their name beingdiscussed in the news 10 yearsfrom now.”

Hertog is the only full-timeemployee in his agency. Hisexperience ranges from spe-cial weapons training andhostage rescue, to being theformer vice president of thenational Special Agents Asso-ciation, founded 75 years ago.

The private investigatorhires help – retired federalagents and former or currentlaw enforcement officers – toassist when needed with re-search, surveillance or rein-forcement in special opera-tions.

“I like to work with SWATteam members in cases suchas workplace violence,” Her-tog said.

Hertog has crafted what hecalls the art of surveillance,explaining that he alwaysstays ahead about his subjects.

From taking late-nightphone calls to waking up atdawn for a workout, Hertogsaid he was born to do privateinvestigation and, therefore,has dedicated his life to “tak-ing the high road.” The U.S.Army was a steppingstone forthe patriot who was born onthe Fourth of July.

After the military and theFBI Academy’s Special Tacti-cal Firearms School, Hertog

received his master’s degreein business at LindenwoodUniversity in St. Louis andhis bachelor’s degree in lawenforcement and criminal jus-tice from Western Illinois Uni-versity before being recruitedfor investigations by a majormilitary defense contractor –McDonnell Aircraft (now Boe-ing).

Hertog then chose to con-tinue his education with an in-ternational terrorism courseat the U.S. Air Force SpecialOperations School in Florida.The detective now has FBIagents on speed dial, whichworks in his favor, he said.

Establ ishing his owncompany, first in ArlingtonHeights in 1997 and later inBarrington in 2003, Hertog’sfirst client was Harpo Studios,

founded by Oprah Winfrey.Hertog said many of his clientsare companies, but the mostrewarding work is done withindividuals.

“Every case is unique, butthis is a people business,” Her-tog said. “People come to methinking they’re the only onesexperiencing certain prob-lems. They think they shouldbe embarrassed and are some-times scared to investigatethe matter because they don’twant me to know about it, andthat’s sad. I’m here to help.”

Hertog offers a BackgroundInvestigations 101 class as aservice to his clients where heteaches people how to screentheir potential significant oth-er, he said, adding that thiscan be crucial in the realm ofonline dating.

Cases last from hours tomonths, Hertog said, explain-ing he works on a couple ofcases each day and is carefulabout where he talks to clients.

With such privacy, Hertogsaid business can sometimesbe challenging.

“I don’t advertise and I’mnot in the phone book,” Hertogsaid. “I rely on word-of-mouthand respect.”

Barrington resident andlawyer Edward Scott hasknown Hertog about six yearsnow. Scott said his businessrelationship with Hertog isone of his most trusted.

“I trust him as a profession-al and as a person,” Scott said.“His work is thorough, promptand accurate. He’s quick andif there’s bad news, he’s notafraid to sit down and tell you

the truth.”Sipping a mocha frappuc-

cino and wearing red Adidassneakers, Hertog admits he’snot Superman.

“Many agencies have noexperience or training,” Her-tog said. “I just wanted to startsomething different and makeit real impactful. There’s aneed for a discreet, elite, prac-tical and capable agency in thearea – people who can protect,investigate and advise. I’m al-ways grateful for those whohave helped me.”

Hertog said he performs abackground check on everynew client to prevent himselffrom working for criminals.He travels occasionally, with-in the United States or as faras Europe.

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

The agency has receivedcalls for everything from UFOsightings to birth parents andthreats in the home or work-place. Nation Pizza and Foodsof Schaumburg, which shipsmillions of frozen pizzas eachyear, has used Hertog as its“pizza pi (private investiga-tor)” for employee backgroundchecks for the past 10 years,Hertog said.

Pointing to his night videocamera, Hertog said the futureof his business is wide openand he hopes to expand furtherin to the Chicago market.

“Technology has madethings faster, which has in-creased the expectations of cli-ents,” Hertog said. “Businessis rewarding, but when I lookat myself in the mirror, I’msatisfied knowing I may havehelped someone have a betterlife. It’s about reputation. It’sabout the guy who calls you forhelp in the middle of the nightand knows you’ll answer the

phone.”

Tarah Thorne – [email protected]

Private detective David Hertog founded his own agency, David Hertog & Associates, in Arlington Heightsabout 17 years ago. Now based in Barrington, Hertog works with clients to dig up information needed forimportant decision-making. The agency caters to both businesses and individuals.

BARRINGTON – Although23-year-old Sam Donnelly wasborn with a heart with onlyone ventricle, friends and fam-ily say he has the kindest heartof anyone they know.

Donnelly, a Barringtonresident, had two open heartsurgeries as an infant and for23 years experienced no signif-icant problems. Then, in Janu-ary, Donnelly started to expe-rience some rapid heartbeatsand discomfort. Although heconsulted his doctor, it waschalked up to his being a stu-dent and probably drinkingtoo much caffeine.

Then, in April, he had asecond episode, which re-quired a trip to the emergen-cy room.

“His heart was beating sohard, you could see his T-shirtvibrating,” said Maureen Don-nelly, Sam’s mother.

The emergency room gave

him IV medi-cations to getthe tachycardiaunder controland he was senthome. About 10days later, hehad an appoint-ment with ane l e c t r o p h y s i -ologist at Ann and Robert H.Lurie Children’s Hospital ofChicago. Shortly after, in Mayand then June, he experiencedhis third and fourth episodes.

Each time he had an epi-sode, he was given medica-tion and had to stay at LurieChildren’s Hospital for days.This month, Sam will undergoFontan Conversion surgery toget his heart working properlyagain.

“It’s going to be a big sur-gery,” Donnelly said.

Sam Donnelly is one ofMaureen and Kevin Donnel-ly’s eight children. They arealso parents to Jennifer, 32,who has Down syndrome;Maggie Morrison, 27; Joseph,

21, who has autistic spectrumdisorder; Xavier, 18; Agnes,15; Isabel, 12, who has specialneeds; and Bernadette, 9. Withthe exception of Morrison,who lives in Palatine with herhusband, Charles, all of thechildren live at home.

“It’s been an unexpectedchallenge just because whenSam had his two open heartsurgeries as an infant, wethought he was done (withsurgery),” Maureen Donnellysaid.

To help with the expenses thefamily is incurring, other fam-ily members have started theHeartbeats for Sam fundraiseron www.giveforward.com.

“It’s actually been a mir-acle in our lives,” Donnellysaid. “It’s not just about themoney… the response has justbeen phenomenal.”

In addition to donatingfunds, messages also can beleft for the family on the fund-raising page.

“I could visibly see a physi-cal change in Sam (from seeingthe success of the fundraiserand reading the notes),” Don-nelly said.

Family friend Beth D’Ami-co called the Donnelly family abeautiful example of uncondi-tional love and faith.

“They have been throughso much in their lives, but thetremendous thing about this

family is they have such a deepunderstanding, love and faithin God,” she said.

She encourages people tovisit the Give Forward fund-raiser and “give from theirhearts to help Sam’s heart.”

“Life just isn’t easy in ourhouse so this help is so incred-ible and is giving Sam such aboost of strength going intosurgery,” Donnelly said. “Lit-erally, I think he is going intoit with an army of love, sup-port and prayer behind him.This gives us hope for a goodoutcome and a swift recov-ery.”

As of Thursday, morethan $18,000 had already beenraised for the family.

Illinois needs property tax relief nowHome ownership carries

a tremendous amount ofresponsibility. Maintaining ahome often can be a labor oflove, but it is a labor nonethe-less. Here in Illinois, home-owners not only have to con-tend with the usual problemsof home ownership such asbad appliances, leaking roofs,flooding basements and otherhome repair problems, butthey also have to deal withthe second highest propertytaxes in the nation.

That’s right. Illinois hasthe second highest propertytaxes in the country. OnlyNew Jersey has higher prop-erty taxes than Illinois.

The average propertytaxes in Illinois are about 2.28percent of a home’s value,while in New Jersey the aver-age property taxes are about2.32 percent of a home’s val-ue. It is possible for Illinoisto surpass New Jersey in thevery near future.

We are overdue for prop-erty tax relief in Illinois.

Unfortunately, all the talkin Springfield has revolvedaround the idea of raisingtaxes – not cutting them.

Last spring, there wereproposals on the table to im-plement a progressive incometax increase in Illinois, createa separate tax for higherincome taxpayers and makethe “temporary” incometax hike of 2011 permanent.Thankfully, the Democraticleaders in the House and theSenate were not able to pushthrough their radical tax hikeagenda last spring. However,while they were unveilingone income tax hike proposalafter another, many taxpay-ers across Illinois were leftwondering if they were goingto have to sell their homesbecause the cost of their prop-erty tax bills just keeps going

up every single year.Homeowners need some

relief and they need it soon.Last year, I was able to pushthrough a new law (HB 983)that will help prevent localgovernments from issuingbonds for bad projects thatcould result in higher proper-ty taxes. This is a step in theright direction. Taxpayersshould not be on the hook forbad debt, but there is so muchmore that could be done toreduce property taxes inIllinois.

The best option would befor the Democratic leadersin the House and the Senateto get behind my legislation(HB 95) that would freeze allproperty tax levies for threeyears. Unfortunately, HouseBill 95 has never even beengiven a hearing – let alonea vote. I also passed a bill inthe House to freeze TownshipGeneral Fund property taxlevies for one year, but thatbill has stalled in the Senate.

Property taxes will con-

tinue to rise in Illinois if wekeep ignoring the problem.Ignoring the problem is notgoing to make it go away. Weare inching our way towardbeing known as the state withthe highest property taxes inthe nation.

There are 7,000 units oflocal government in Illinoisand we need to start consoli-dating those that are unnec-essary. We cannot continueon our current path. Thetaxpayers of Illinois deservesome relief. It is time for theGeneral Assembly to listen tothe concerns of our citizensand provide real propertyrelief and prevent Illinoisfrom becoming the state withthe highest property taxes inthe country.

Seminar to inspire families, caregiversBy TARAH THORNE

[email protected]

BARRINGTON – No one ispreaching perfect parentingat the Lutheran Church of theAtonement in Barrington, ac-cording to congregants.

Discounted tickets now areon sale for a one-day parentingseminar for mothers, fathers,teachers and practitioners.

Authors and internationalspeakers Jill Savage of Normaland Kathy Koch of Dallas areteaming up to share Christianmethods of working with chil-dren.

The conference will be from9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 27, withlimited seating.

North Barrington motherLaurie Lindquist already hasheard Savage speak in Roch-ester, Minn. Lindquist, whohas a 13- and a 10-year old, saidshe was moved by the way theauthor of “No More PerfectMoms” embraces the averagefamily model.

“At the end of the day, we

all just want what’s best for ourfamilies,” Lindquist said. “Andwhen we focus on that, we un-derstand each other better.”

Lindquist said Savage toss-es out the idea of the “perfect,Christmas card” family andteaches her audience that it’sOK embrace the everyday sim-plicities of life.

Atonement Pastor JaneKunzie-Brunner said the pur-pose of the 500-person confer-

ence is to open up the churchto the greater community.

“It will be great for abso-lutely anyone who deals withchildren – parents, grandpar-ents, preschool staff – youname it,” Brunner said.

Brunner, who has listenedto both Savage and Koch be-fore, said reading the authors’materials beforehand may behelpful but it’s not necessary.

“The speakers debunk themyth of perfection,” Brunnersaid. “Perfection is impossibleto obtain, yet parents come tome weekly with parenting anx-iety.”

Brunner said the confer-ence will help mothers and fa-thers to be “on the same page”when it comes to parenting.

“As a parent of a 6- and11-year-old, I feel like a failurewhenever I see my kids strug-gle in a particular area of life,but the authors remind methat perfection isn’t realisticand there’s always opportu-nity to grow,” Brunner said.“I’ve been a pastor for 12 years

and grasping for this ridicu-lous notion of perfection cansuck the joy out of parenting– out of families.”

Atonement member AnnPride said the church has beenblessed with a newly renovat-ed building and this event is agreat way to benefit the wholecommunity.

“We live this life of con-stantly trying to do everythingwe can to give back and forgetthat it’s OK to be average,”Pride said.

The event will feature sixspeaking sessions and threebreaks – one for lunch. A ques-tion-and-answer segment willbe from index cards collectedthroughout the day.

Brunner said the questionsare always her favorite.

“People ask about things Inever even think of,” Brunnersaid. “It’s helpful to be able tobuild off each other.”

The day will leave parentsfeeling “more sure of theircalling – empowered and re-

freshed,” Brunner said.

Whose side is Obama on?

After this past month’s outra-geous prisoner swap, there’s nodoubt the president is playingfor the other team.

Defense Secretary ChuckHagel announced the exchangeto a gathering of troops butwas greeted with shockedsilence. They knew about BoweBergdahl, and they watched

America’s sworn enemiescelebrate “victory” on YouTube.Democratic Senator DianneFeinstein said the president’saction “violated the law,”and John McCain called thosereleased “the hardest of thehard core”.

So, what’s going on?Obama’s world view is ani-

mated by a deep sense of griev-

ance. As community organizer,his tactics were to use agita-tion to tear down the familiarorder. As President, Obamaagitates to force change whileopenly expressing disdain forthe familiar order of advice andconsent. He has no intention ofworking with Republicans, yethe blames them for a lack ofcooperation. He agitates with

straw-man arguments, as in arecent speech where he citedhis teenage daughters amongthose who easily understandclimate change while dissent-ers do not. Such provocative,grievance-soaked tactics arethe stuff of tyrants and dicta-tors.

Americans must face the uglytruth about Obama’s views and

his reliance on agitation as polit-ical strategy. His decisions makeclear his grievance extends tous as Americans – that we areoppressors and our nation isa global bully he aims to bringdown to size, precisely what ourenemies think.

Fictional sport comes to life in BarringtonBy STEPHANIE KOHL

Barrington Suburban Lifecontributor

BARRINGTON – Althoughit started as a fictional sport inJK Rowling’s “Harry Potter”series, the sport of Quidditchnow is nonfiction.

In the “Harry Potter” se-ries, Quidditch has wizardsflying on brooms, competingto snatch the snitch, a wingedgolden ball. Obviously, whenthe real-world version of thesport was founded in 2005 bya student at Middlebury Col-lege, the rules and play had tobe adapted a bit.

T h e B a r r i n g t o n A r e aQuidditch Club was foundedin spring 2014 by MadeleineLebovic, a North Barringtonresident and Tufts UniversityQuidditch player.

“It was just a different con-cept for a game,” the 18-year-old Lebovic said, adding ithas been described as a crossbetween rugby, handball anddodgeball.

In the real world version ofQuidditch, players run withbrooms between their legs,trying to avoid being hit by abludger – a deflated dodgeballas opposed to the iron ball usedin the fictional sport – whilescoring points by getting thequaffle – a deflated volleyball– through a hoop defended bya keeper.

In the fictional game ofQuidditch, a seeker also aimsto catch a golden snitch – a fly-ing gold ball with wings. In thereal world version, the snitchactually is a person, dressedall in yellow with a tennis ballstuffed into a sock attached tothe back of his or her shorts,which the other team must tryto capture.

Confused? Lebovic can help

you sort it all out July 12 ather Introduction to Quidditchworkshop or at one of herday camps, which started thismonth at Eton Park in Bar-rington. The camps are aimedat those in third grade throughhigh school and are broken upinto three separate age divi-sions.

“I think the first reactionfrom anyone who’s read thebooks is the little smile or gig-gle of me using ‘bludger’ and‘quaffle’ seriously,” Lebovicsaid.

And although Lebovic be-gan reading the “Harry Pot-ter” series in the third grade,she said it is not unusual forpeople who have never readthe books or seen any of themovies to take an interest inthe sport.

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

She already has held oneQuidditch introduction togauge interest in the sport inthe Barrington community.

Megan Keith, an 11-year-

old Hoffman Estates resident,was one of the participants inthat first session. She spotteda flier for the Barrington AreaQuidditch Club at a juice shopwhile out with her mom andsister. As a “Harry Potter” fan,it caught her attention. Keithjust started reading the booksthis year but has seen all themovies.

When she attended the in-troductory session, she wassurprised to find there wereno really strong ties to “HarryPotter.”

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

She acknowledged in “Har-ry Potter,” brooms are a bigpart of the sport, and runningwith a broom between herlegs took some getting usedto.

“I fell a couple times do-ing it, but it was a lot of fun,”Keith said. “It’s a fast-pacedgame. There’s a level of diffi-culty, but it’s easy to play if

you know what the sport is.”

Barrington resident Doug McConnell, 56, swam the annual Manhattan Island Marathon Swim June28. McConnell began preparing for the swim this past winter, swimming about 20 miles each weekover six days. Serving as his guide and kayaking alongside McConnell was Barrington resident DonMacdonald.

Barrington resident Doug McConnell achieved the Triple Crown

June 28 when he swam 28.5 miles around Manhattan in the Man-

hattan Island Marathon Swim. McConnell is the 16th person over

the age of 50 to achieve this title, worldwide, according to a news

release. McConnell said the swim was beautiful – sunny skies,

water in the low 70-degrees and no wind until the end of the swim.

He completed the swim in nine hours and 37 minutes with 29,611

strokes. To date, McConnell has raised about $300,000 for amyo-

trophic lateral sclerosis research in connection with his swims.

The new funds will be allocated toward programs at the Les

Turner ALS Research Laboratories at Northwestern University’s

Feinberg School of Medicine, the release states.

Talking teacher pensionsWeare seniors on fixed incomes

who are tired of our high propertytaxes padding teachers’ retire-ment. Our taxes keep going up.Our pensions and Social Securityare not keeping upwith the costof living. My husband just tooka 20 percent cut in his pension(that he paid into for 40-plusyears) because his union leadersdidn’t makewise investmentsbut no one is coming to help us. Ipaid into a pension fund for 33years. Why are these high raisesfor teachers whowill be retiringin the future being approved?Weare over 68 and don’t qualify fora tax freeze becausewe are toldour income is too high. We are notliving in the “lap of luxury” but arejust getting by onwhat we canafford. Wewould like to stay in ourhouse in Downers Grove.We are“Baby Boomers” and our parentscouldn’t afford to send us tocollege. We had to enter theworkforce right after high school. Noone padded our pension funds. Iwish we could have becometeachers sowe could retire withhigh incomes.

Noisy fireworksThe calendar andmost people

will say that by ... Saturday, July5, the Fourth of July celebrationwill be over, but that is not true.For three or four weeks after theFourth of July, noisy fireworks

will be shot off in every neighbor-hood in the Tri-City area. I wouldencourage the police departmentin all three towns to sometimescruise through the residentialareas with their windows downand ticket those who persist inshooting off noisy fireworks.

Runaway dogAt 1 p.m., June 13, our dog took

off running, and I tried to catchhim. Five different people in carstried to help me by blocking himfrom the busy roads. One wom-an gave me a leash, and anotherwoman gave me a ride to catchup with him. Finally, I caughtBenji, dog, and the woman droveme and him home. Thank youfrom the bottom of my heart toyou wonderful people.

Be nice to family membersYoung kids that graduate from

SOUTH BARRINGTON– When you see the sign forPinstripes, it’s natural to won-der – is this a bowling alleywith a restaurant attached, orvice versa? Is it possible to beboth (and bocce, too) and dothem well?

I set out on a recent eve-ning with a pair of friends tofind out. For once, the Mys-tery Diner would also be theMystery Bowler.

When you walk throughthe front door, the largedesk staffed by two or threehostesses says “hotel” morethan “restaurant.” Behind thedesk, there’s an elevated bararea, which was well-popu-lated on this particular night.To the right are the bowlinglanes, and off to the left is thebocce area.

We didn’t have reserva-tions, and we were told thatthe wait would be 40 minutes.Undeterred, we settled downon some comfy chairs just offthe bar area to await our table.Pinstripes had smartly lefta menu there, and I was juststarting to peruse it when wewere approached by a waitressasking for our drink orders.

It was no more than twoor three minutes later thatour buzzer went off, indicat-ing that our table was ready.We were led deeper into thebuilding, somewhere behindthe bar area, to a comfortable,traditional dining area.

Back there, we couldhardly hear the sounds ofbowling and carousing takingplace in the other portion ofPinstripes. You could easilyimagine that this was a stand-alone restaurant, unalignedwith any other entity.

We informed our serverthat we’d ordered drinks buthadn’t yet received them. Heassured us this was no trouble;indeed, just moments later,he arrived with a tray of fourdrinks. Turns out there’d beena slight miscommunicationand my drink was made twice.He apologized and offered thesecond drink for free.

One of my friends has somedining restrictions, so two of

us shared the hummus andavocado platter appetizer, feel-ing a bit guilty about leavingher out. It was tasty, too, andwe finished it off quickly.

Then it was off to the maincourses. That meant the chick-en and goat cheese pasta forme, the ahi tuna for the friendwith dietary limitations andthe maple glazed salmon formy other friend.

My meal was terrific, thechicken and little dollops ofgoat cheese interspersed withfusilli pasta, rosemary creamsauce and fresh cracked pep-

per. In retrospect I should’vesaved a portion for the nextday’s lunch, given the sizeof the dish, but I unwiselypolished all off right then andthere, leaving no room fordessert.

The other entrees were sim-ilarly popular, neither requir-ing a box to bring anythinghome. The ahi tuna is servedwith baby greens, feta, olivetapenade and lemon capervinaigrette, while the mapleglazed salmon comes withorganic red quinoa, cucumber,avocado, tomato and mint. If

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

The friend who had thesalmon still had an appetite,so she ordered a dessert, thechocolate s’mores. It wasjust what you’d expect, littlegraham cracker sandwicheswith melted marshmallow inthe middle, with a generousportion of chocolate sauce fordipping. It was definitely a hit.

After settling the bill, wehad to decide between bowlingand bocce. The bocce arealooked pretty full, so that

made our decision for us.We rented shoes and weregiven a lane, and very soonwere knocking pins down ata less-than-impressive rate.But we didn’t let our lack ofbowling skill dampen ourenthusiasm.

The lanes are well-main-tained and the seatingcomfortable, with a great bigtable right by the lane for anydrinks or dessert you mightorder. A server came by a fewtimes while we were playingto offer both, and if we weren’tall full already it would’vebeen a good option.

Ultimately, the verdict isthat you don’t need to have din-ner to enjoy the bowling, andyou can just as easily stop byfor a meal and skip the activi-ties. If you like both, so muchthe better. I’ll have to swing byanother time to try the bocce,but based on what I’ve seen, Iexpect it’s top-notch, too.

PORTS

By RYAN [email protected]

For the next five weeks,

three girls from Norge Ski

Club in Fox River Grove are

heading west to get a glimpse

of what their ski jumping fu-

tures may hold.

Mollie Immens of Fox Riv-

er Grove, Cara Larson of Bar-

rington and Kailey Bickner of

Wauconda are three of eight

girls nationwide who were

selected to attend a Fly Girls

Team and camp training pro-

gram taking place in Steam-

boat Springs, Colo., and Park

City, Utah.

This experience is part of

Women’s Ski Jumping USA’s

new nationwide athlete devel-

opment program, where some

of the top youth skiers around

the United States will train

with U.S. Olympic ski jump-

ing coach Alan Alborn, world

champion ski jumper Lindsey

Van and other top U.S. skiers.

For eight years, Larson,

Bickner and Immens have

skied together at Norge, hop-

ing that someday they will

have the chance to become

jumpers for the national team.

Larson, 13, said Van has

served as a great role model

for all three girls. Van fought

for years trying to get wom-

en’s ski jumping included in

the winter Olympics, until it

finally was added in 2014.

“They’re the ones that got

women into the Olympics for

ski jumping,” Larson said. “I

look up to them so much be-

cause they made it possible for

us.”

The girls’ jump coach of

five years, Scott Smith, who

also is a U.S. ski team board

member, said the girls have

spent roughly four to five days

and 10 to 15 hours on the slopes

each week, perfecting their

launch techniques in order to

improve speed and flying dis-

tance.

“Now that they’re getting

older, [the time commitment]

is quite a bit more,” Smith

said. “These girls are to the

point where it’s now time to

step up to that next level. The

U.S. team is bringing girls up

that are a part of the future, so

they have a lot of work to do,

but they are very talented.”

Larson and Immens, 14,

recently finished first and sec-

ond, respectively, at the Na-

tional Junior Championships

in Anchorage, Alaska. Bick-

ner, 13, has won two Virtual

U.S. Cups in the Central U14

girls division, where compet-

itors send in videos of their

jumps to get their scores.

Smith estimates they enter

about 20 competitions a year.

During the summer, in-

stead of landing on a soft,

white slope of snow, the girls

zip down the 160-foot pitch on

mesh-like green matting, giv-

ing skiers the same feeling as

snow.

“In the summer, [the ramp]

is a lot smoother,” Larson said.

“The only big difference is the

feeling. There’s more pressure

on the lift.”

Although there won’t be

any snow on the ground for

several months, Larson said

they still train the same as

if there was snow. Bickner

trains on both the 40-meter and

70-meter ramps, while Larson

and Immens stick to the 70.

“My favorite part of jump-

ing is flying through the air

and the adrenaline rush you

get,” Bickner said.

“I love the feeling of flying,”

Immens added. “It’s an inde-

scribable feeling.”

The girls will train in

Steamboat Springs for a little

more than a week before head-

ing to Park City, where they

will use their newly learned

skills in competition. Smith

believes this opportunity can

be a valuable learning experi-

ence.

“I think the biggest thing

would be gaining the confi-

dence to do better,” Smith

said. “When the girls develop

a little slower with their tech-

nique than the guys, the more

they can be around the jumps

and camps, they should gain

more confidence.”

Coach competesagainst mentor

IN THEIR LIFE | PAT WIRE

By TIM SIECKBarrington SuburbanLife contributor

Pat Wire, BarringtonHigh School’s head varsitybaseball coach and assistantfootball coach, sat down withBarrington Suburban Lifecontributor Tim Sieck to talkmemories and technique. Thefather and Cary-Grove alumeven has competed against hisformer high school coach.

Tim Sieck: Why did you decideto start coaching?

Pat Wire: Athletics helpedshape and mold my life. Par-ents and family provide mostof the structure while athlet-ics enhances that structure inthe complex social world welive in today. This structureincludes and instills disci-pline, accountability, workethic, dedication, commit-ment, vision, and compassionfor others. I felt compelledto share my experiencesand time with students andathletes to achieve their un-tapped potentials.

Sieck: What is it like to coachagainst your former high schoolcoach Don Sutherland?

Wire: It is like competingagainst your dad or oldersibling. It’s the idea of want-ing to prove your worth andwhat they have taught you.I feel a constant pressure ofnever wanting to let him ormy other mentors down. I amconstantly motivated by thatfear. Fear of never lettingthem down. I am very proudof my time at Cary-Grove andwhat I have learned from himas well as Bruce (Kay). Theyare some of the best coaches Ihave ever come across in theprofession and I am so unbe-lievably grateful to have hadthem coach me as a player. Asyou get older, you realize that

more and more.

Sieck: How would you definethe “Barrington Way”?

Wire: To ensure that werun a high-quality, educa-tion-based approach to thegame. We do this by followinga three-principle system. Thefirst principle is we better outhustle everybody. The secondprinciple is we always try tochase the opposing pitcher.Whether by pitch count orhitting the ball, it’s alwaysa goal of ours. Lastly, we’regoing to have a plan. Whetherit is on defense, offense, on themound, or on the bases, weare thinking about the gamewithin the game. We don’twant to be players who react,but players who anticipate. Ifour coaching staff does thatfor our players, the winningwill take care of itself. It isall about process for me, notresults. I am never disap-pointed if our process is donecorrectly.

Sieck: What has been the mostmemorable game of your coachingcareer?

Wire: Defeating Cary-Grove in the playoffs. Facingmy former coach, on the fieldI grew up on, and defeated ahigh quality program liftedmy confidence as a youngcoach in eyes of one of mymentors.

Sieck: What is the best thingabout coaching at Barrington HighSchool?

Wire: It is the authentic re-lationships between coaches,parents, players, and admin-istration. All of the coachesare interconnected and trustone another. Mike Obsusztand Steve McWilliams are assupportive and as good as itgets. We are all in it together.Doing what’s in the best inter-

est of student-athletes.

OPPORTUNITY

A beeline for self-checkoutWhen I go to the gro-

cery store, I often use theself-checkouts. It’s usuallyquicker for the customer,and the store doesn’t haveto pay an employee to ringup your order, thus, hope-fully, lowering prices – awin-win.

It must be popular becausemore and more supermarketsare resorting to self-check-outs. A steadily dwindlingnumber of people feel uncom-fortable with the computers,particularly those who areadverse to new technology.For others, going to a storeis a routine they enjoy. Theywant to have contact withanother human.

That is an important fac-tor. Let’s look at movies, forexample. It’s much cheaper towatch a DVD or stream video,but people still go to the the-ater. Part of that is because ofthe big screen, but the otherreason is we like to watchmovies with other people.

For me, a grocery store isdifferent. Shopping is a chore.So, the quicker I can get out,the better.

If I see an available ca-shier, I will go to that person.A cashier can handle theprocess quicker than me.

But if the cashiers all havelines, I make a beeline to theself-checkouts.

My cousin disagrees.She refuses to go throughself-checkout, saying it putspeople out of work.

She is right that storeshave fewer employees be-cause of self-checkouts. Butwe have machines all overour society that essentiallyhave laid off workers. Thishas been happening since thebeginning of the IndustrialRevolution, which startedmore than 200 years ago.

Have you ever used anATM? That means fewerjobs in banks. In the newsbusiness, machines have hada huge effect. In the 1990s, forinstance, darkroom employ-ees started losing their jobswith the advent of digitalcameras.

In the long run, though,better technology helpssociety. We have more moneyfor other things. That’s whyspending on tourism andrestaurants has exploded inthe last few decades. Can’t

we all agree that going on a

vacation or to a restaurant

is more fun than going to the

supermarket?

What’s with thosediscount cards?

Speaking of stores, why

does nearly every one offer

its own discount card? Re-

member the old days when

a store’s sales applied to ev-

eryone who walked through

the door. Sure, I know any

customer can get a card, but

I like to keep life simple and

carry as few things in my

wallet as possible. The prolif-

eration of cards is not helping

matters.

Some years ago, one

grocery chain boasted that it

had no special discount card,

saying its deals benefited

everyone. But it relented once

it saw the fad would not die.

Some major stores remain

holdouts from the card trend

– Walmart comes to mind.

So we anti-carders may win

after all.

It’s all perfectly legal,but …

The other day, the Chicago

Tribune ran an in-depth story

on Republican gubernatorial

candidate Bruce Rauner’s

income tax records.

One sentence of the story

fascinated me more than

any other: “Complicated tax

rules related to [his] business

losses freed Rauner from

paying any Social Security

or Medicare taxes in 2010 and

2011, despite his reporting

healthy earnings in other

income categories and listing

a combined adjusted gross in-

come for those years of about

$55 million.”

It’s all perfectly legal, I’m

sure, but should someone

who pulls in $55 million over

2 years pay a little something

to Social Security and Medi-

care?
