boutique. For 17 years we have been providingunique, sophisticated and updated apparel, jeansand accessories to the fashion-savvy woman. Weare item-driven. Therefore, we are able to helpour customers create and enhance their ownparticular style.We offer personal customer service with lines

What was your inspiration for openingthis store in Barrington?Our inspiration for opening Savvy Spirit had to
do with our love of design, texture, fabrics and theidea of having unique items not found in depart-ment stores. We also enjoy our customers andlove making them feel special wearing the designswe have chosen.

evolved and the needs of our customers are met.Many of our customers have become friends.We often talk of children, travels, work and thedaily lives of our customers. This is a very socialbusiness.

BARRINGTON – Upon hearing of Bar-rington High School’s newly acquiredJohn F. Kennedy photos (see story onpage 14) I began my quest for knowledge.
When was Kennedy, a Democratrunning for president at the time, inBarrington? Why did he visit? Why don’tmore people have photos from that day?
Well, as fifth generation Barringtonresident Ed Wichman reminded me– cell phone cameras did not exist in1960. Plus, Wichman said he thinks theKennedy visit took place on a weekdaymorning and most people were eitherbusy at work or possibly uninterested inthe then-U.S. senator’s political views.
“I remember a rather large crowd,but it was a lot of students, and Bar-rington was primarily a Republicantown,” Wichman said.
Wichman graduated from BHS in1963, and although he said he remembersthe day distinctly – with Kennedy speak-ing at a podium on the steps of the highschool – Wichman said he just cannotremember many people taking photos.
“We were just kids,” Wichman said.
“We didn’t have cameras. But I’m surethe press was there.”
Interestingly, several of the black-and-white photos recently donated toBHS by 1962 graduate and Barringtonresident Joyce Taillon appear to be theright size for press photos of that time(11 by 14 inches).
I carried on with my trip down histo-ry lane by calling Barrington librarianRose Faber to see what she knew aboutKennedy’s visit. Faber shocked me withthe news of six photos that had alreadybeen donated to the library by Robertand Alice Perkins in 2006.
Looking at the library photos, I real-ized that Taillon and BHS staff really didhave a rare find on their hands. Don’tget me wrong – the library photos sup-plement Barrington’s history collectionquite well, but Taillon’s speak to thehigh school’s past.
These newly donated photos, to beunveiled at BHS on Thursday, Nov. 21,as part of the school’s Future PresidentsExhibit, show Kennedy and the front ofthe high school more vividly than ever.
Speaking with BHS U.S. Historyteacher Derek Gablenz on a very timelysubject – the 50-year anniversary of Ken-nedy’s assassination is Friday, Nov. 22 –I was curious to hear Gablenz’s opinionof the ever popular conspiracy theories.
Gablenz told me he has spent years ofhis life reading such conspiracy theo-ries, but all in all, most evidence he hasfound suggests that it was Lee HarveyOswald who killed Kennedy.
While we all can argue conspiracytheories, I believe there’s one thing allBarrington residents will agree on – thistown has such a fascinating history.
No conspiracy, just good ol’ town history

VillageLifeFire district officials confident of split
By TARAH [email protected]
LAKE BARRINGTON – Be-fore approving three more au-tomatic-aid agreements Mon-day, Barrington CountrysideProtection District officialssaid they are, at this point, 86percent ready for operationsindependent of the village ofBarrington in 2014.
“We are on pace or evenahead of schedule,” BCFPDChief/Administrator JeffSwanson said. “We feel verycomfortable that there’s noth-ing keeping us from being op-erational Jan. 1.”
The remaining 14 percentof action points, as recom-mended by the Illinois FireChiefs Association, requirecollaboration from other agen-cies such as the BarringtonFire Department.
Despite a Nov. 4 district
announcement that a draft ofan automatic-aid agreementbetween the village and dis-trict was being re-written, thedistrict and village have yet tosign a formal contract.
Automatic-aid agreementsapproved by district trusteesMonday include the Algon-quin-Lake in the Hills, Car-pentersville and East Dundeefire departments.
Hoffman Estates, the city ofPalatine, Palatine Rural andthe village of Barrington arethe only neighboring agen-cies that have not committedto 2014 automatic-aid with thedistrict, Swanson said.
District President TomRowan said that the Hoff-man Estates Fire Departmentwould rather perform as a mu-tual aid partner, responding toa fire when help is requestedand manpower is available.
Illinois Fire Chiefs Associ-
ation Deputy Chief John Feitsaid that mutual aid is more ofa “standard and understood”agreement (without a formalcontract), while automatic-aidis contractual and being de-signed to cover fragments ofthe district’s 48-square-mileradius as a means of addingmore emergency personnel tomore areas, more quickly.
Swanson said he is “abso-lutely sure” the district willreceive mutual aid from allneighboring agencies and saidautomatic-aid discussion willcontinue, especially with thevillage of Barrington.
Inverness Ridge residentKathy Feingold expressed con-cern with the district beingunable to negotiate an auto-matic-aid agreement with thePalatine Rural Fire ProtectionDistrict to cover the westernborder of Inverness.
“You are making decisions
as to whether someone livesor dies,” Feingold said. “I sug-gest you sharpen your pencilsand find a way to negotiate.You’re quite literally playingwith fire.”
Swanson said the Palatinerural response area will becovered by Lake Zurich FireRescue and the district’s per-sonnel from Station 2 (Bar-rington Hills) under currentnegotiations.
The BCFPD announced itssplit from the Barrington FireDepartment in September2012, citing disagreements re-garding staffing requirementsand equipment purchases– and similar talk continuedMonday as district trusteePaul Heinze questioned thevillage’s unwillingness to al-low full-time Barrington FireDepartment personnel to workon an additional, part-time ba-sis for the district in 2014.
In response to Heinze, Bar-rington Fire Chief Jim Ariecited the village’s need to bal-ance overtime, and liabilityworries for future injuriesincurred if village employeeswere to increase their workactivity.
The district now has aboutsix weeks until it splits – op-erating as an independentdepartment for the first timein decades – and board discus-sion of an additional districtstation continues. Trusteeshave said this third stationconstruction would not beginuntil the district is up and run-ning independently and opera-tions are analyzed.
The next regular BCFPDboard meeting will be held at6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16. atDistrict Headquarters, 22222N. Pepper Road in Lake Bar-rington. Visit www.bcfpd.orgfor more information.

Growing up on the eastcoast, what has drawnyou to the Barringtonarea? How is it similar/different?
Barrington is completelydifferent than the East Coast.The Barrington area hasmore wide open spaces and ismore horse country. I believethat Barrington has an ener-gy that is classic, like a RalphLauren sweater.
Is Barrington a good areafor food and wine appre-ciation?
Barrington is known forits quality schools, qualityestablishments and qualitywine. I believe the peoplehere have a palette for the fin-er things in life. Food, wineand my products fit right in.
How would you describea fashionable food line,and yours specifically?Where did this idea comefrom?
For many years, I spenttime cruising the groceryaisles of the country’s finergrocery stores and basicgrocery stores. To me,everything started lookingthe same and people were allfollowing each other’s ideas.The Italian section specifical-ly was all yellow and red.
Because I love fashion,style and beauty, I had anidea to do something avantegarde in the food industry.My goal was to bring fashion-
able packaging to shelves anddo a collection of the betterthings that Italy has andbring it to America. I usedmy sense of style, fashion andcreative eye to develop this. Inow offer the consumer some-thing beautiful to put on theircounter that is at the sametime of superlative quality.
Where are your productsmade? How do you makesure each product is justright?
My products are allimported from Italy. I havea passion for everythingItalian. I lived in Italy forthree years on scholarshipfrom The Culinary Institute.Everything is hand-picked,taste-tested and quality-ap-proved by myself and mypartners. My goal is sophisti-cated quality that stands thetest of time.
Have you always had apassion for culinary artsand fashion?
Absolutely. I am one of 11children. I was always thesparkly one and have alwaysbeen attracted to the fashionand art of food. Having beenpart of such a big Italianfamily, food was always afocal point that brought myfamily around the massivetable. My favorite pasttimegrowing up was the tasteand smell of food. I can nowrecreate those memories byincorporating my wonderfulItalian products.
Where might we findyour products in the Bar-rington community?
In the Barrington area,my products can be found atHeinen’s Fine Foods, GrassRoots, Mariano’s, Binny’s,Sunset Foods and many morehigh-end food and wine estab-lishments.
What do you enjoy out-side of work? How do youfind balance?
Outside of work, I makesure that I am constantlypushing my creative button.I am inspired by art galler-ies, artists, nature, horses,horseback riding, yoga andmeditation. Anything thatinspires me or focuses onmy spirituality makes me
find balance in life. I am alsoextremely philanthropic andmost recently supported theBarrington Junior Women’sClub and the Women of Wingsevent.
When did your productline really take off? Whatwould be your advice toanyone trying to estab-lish themselves in thecompetitive market offood and wine?
My wines are really takingoff now and my food is justlaunching.
As far as advice goes, stayauthentic and always staytrue to yourself. From a busi-ness “foodie,” If you expectit to taste good, it should befrom your heart.
What’s been most chal-lenging with the busi-ness?
The most challenging as-pect of my business is stayingfocused in difficult times andcapturing the attention ofstore owners and buyers.
Your sister, CarolineManzo, is part of the“Real Housewives ofNew Jersey” cast. Howoften do you appear onthis show? How does itcompare to your othertelevision appearances,like “The Oprah WinfreyShow” and the “FoodNetwork?”
This is a fantastic ques-tion. I have traveled theworld with some of the mostfamous musicians on Earth.I have been exposed to themany levels of fame duringmy career – but nothingcompares to being honoredby my appearances on FoodNetwork and Oprah. Thoseappearances are my mostcherished television memo-ries. Oprah highlighted mycareer and nothing can evercompare to that.
I have appeared on “RealHousewives of New Jersey”from Season 1 to Season 4 andhave always been shown ina positive light. The fourthseason was my favoritebecause I was able to have mycivil union aired on nationaltelevision.
What’s next for Chef Jai-me Laurita Brands? Anybucket list dreams?
My goal with Chef JaimeLaurita brands is to continuebuilding my line of products.I am branching into fragranc-es, home accessories, decor,plateware and more.
I am excited to have part-nerships with grocery storesnationwide and chains likeTJ Maxx and Home Goods. Iuse these stores as a sourcefor all my decorating needs. Iam truly Home Goods happy.
Having my products inthese stores is a dream cometrue for me. I hope to ex-pand the brand nationwidethrough their company.
JAIME LAURITACHEF, FASHION GURU
BARRINGTON – What started as one
Italian/New Jersey-raised chef’s idea to
pair food and wine with a good fashion
sense is growing into a nationwide phe-
nomenon – all that Chef Jaime Laurita
could have hoped for.

the Barrington area for his personal resi-
dency, and a launching pad for Chef Jaime

By TARAH [email protected]
BARRINGTON – AdvocateGood Shepherd Hospital hasbeen named one of the na-tion’s 50 top cardiovascularhospitals by Truven HealthAnalytics for a second con-secutive year.
A study now in its 15thyear has examined the per-formance of more than 1,000hospitals by analyzing out-comes for patients with heartfailure, heart attacks and forthose who received coronarybypass surgery and other cor-onary interventions.
Advocate President KarenLambert said the honor is atribute to the hospital’s ded-icated team of physicians,
nurses and associates.The 50 top cardiovascular
hospitals have been distin-guished by their significantlybetter 30-day survival rates,lower 30-day readmissionrates for heart attack andheart failure patients, andquicker release of bypass pa-tients.
Additionally, these hospi-tals spend about $2,000 lessper bypass surgery case.
“We are honored to re-ceive this recognition andI’m proud to be a part ofthis collaborative team whoworks together seamlesslyfor optimal patient outcomesin cardiovascular care,” saidDr. Sunil Kadakia, chief ofcardiology at Advocate GoodShepherd.

L A K E B A R R I N G T O N– Teamwork wins soccergames. For Olympic goldmedalist Alex Morgan andnearly 100 young fundraisers,teamwork accomplishes somuch more – more programs,more equipment and moreconfidence for those in need.
Morgan visited the LakeBarrington Field Houseon Sunday to meet the doz-ens of young soccer playerswho helped her and the Illi-nois Youth Soccer Associa-tion (IYSA) raise more than$35,000 for underprivileged,inner-city athletes.
“It’s vital to keep kids ac-tive and busy,” Morgan said.“But to do that, they need uni-forms, soccer balls and a fieldto play on.”
The IYSA began its Soc-cer for Success program inconjunction with the Chi-cago Housing Authority in1994. This program annuallyserves nearly 1,000 at-riskchildren living in econom-ically disadvantaged, urbanChicago-area communities.
IYSA Executive DirectorMary Jane Bender said theassociation’s goal is to createmore opportunities for chil-dren in need, and Sunday’sLake Barrington fundraiserultimately will fund the en-tire Soccer for Success pro-gram come next fall. A simi-lar fundraiser was held withvisiting soccer star AbbyWambach last year in Lib-ertyville, and Bender said itworked wonders for the pro-gram.
“We’ve been able to pro-vide more kids with uni-forms, allowing them to playcompetitively,” Bender said.“Some Soccer for Successplayers who lost every sin-gle game their first year tooksecond place in their divisionthis year.”
Both Bender and Mor-gan stressed that developing
confidence is vital for youngplayers.
“We want to use the sportof soccer as a vehicle to devel-op confidence,” Bender said.“We spend money to developand educate coaches as men-tors who understand and re-spect any culture these youngplayers are coming from.”
Morgan said that soccer isa mental sport and, therefore,confidence helps.
“My one word of adviceto young players would be tohave fun, work hard and stayconfident,” Morgan said. “It’sgreat to see how motivatedthese girls are and how muchit will pay off.”
Every child raising at least$250 for this year’s Soccer forSuccess fundraiser was re-warded with a meet-and-greetand photo with Morgan, auto-graph and lunch. The top 64
fundraisers were invited toplay a soccer match againstMorgan and the top 10 sat atMorgan’s lunch table.
The fifth top fundraiser,Lake Barrington residentJessica Inman, raised $3,550with one goal in mind – tomake the top 10 and play soc-cer with Morgan. All top 10fundraisers raised more than$1,500 each.
Eleven-year-old Inman hasbeen playing soccer since theage of 4. She said she wouldlike to grow up to play on theU.S. national team, just likeMorgan.
Meeting Morgan, Inmantold the star that she is al-ready able to juggle a soccerball more than 562 times with-out stopping. When Inmanasked Morgan how manytimes she can juggle, Morganjoked, “Not as many as you.”
Jessica’s mother, MaureenInman, said Morgan’s humblepersonality makes her a greatrole model for her daughterand other young players.
“She’s very approachableand supports great causes,”Maureen Inman said.
Bender stressed that oneof the Soccer for Success pro-gram’s key components is toprovide an outlet for at-riskchildren to keep out of trou-ble.
Asked what kept her outof trouble as a child, Morgansaid her parents and a busylifestyle played a large role.
“I wanted to make my par-ents proud,” Morgan said.
And she continues to doso.
At just 24 years old, Mor-gan is a starter for the Port-land Thorns FC of the Nation-al Women’s Soccer League,
as well as the U.S. Women’snational team. She was theyoungest U.S. player at the2011 FIFA Women’s WorldCup.
Morgan was named the2012 Female Athlete of theYear after scoring and assist-ing game-winning goals inthe 2012 London Olympics.When she’s not traveling orpracticing, Morgan said shetries to watch at least one soc-cer match on TV each day.
Bender said Morgan’s“tremendous work ethic”and teamwork represents theSoccer for Success well andthat the IYSA would like toexpand its fundraising effortsin coming years.
“Our fundraisers’ successalways depends on the per-sonality of the visiting play-er, and Morgan was very gra-cious,” Bender said.

Much of the nation canremember where theystood the day PresidentJohn F. Kennedy was
assassinated nearly 50 years ago.But not too many people are able tosay they saw Kennedy speak on thesteps of their own high school – justtwo weeks before his presidency.
Then a U.S. senator, Kennedystopped in Barrington during a 14-hour motorcade campaign throughseveral Chicago suburbs on Oct. 25,1960, and Barrington High Schoolhad retained only one photographfrom Kennedy’s visit – until now.
A local resident has donated
several family snapshots dating back53 years to that memorable fall day.These photos will be given a newhome in the BHS Future PresidentsExhibit originally created in 2011 tohighlight the local visits of Kennedy(1960) and President Barack Obama(2006).
Joyce Taillon, BHS alumna of1962, was glancing through photosrecovered from her late-father’shome when she found nine small,color snapshots of the campaignvisit, believed to have been taken byher mother.
“They looked a lot like our otherfamily photos in the album, so I’mfairly certain they belonged to her,”Taillon said.
But something else caughtTaillon’s attention – four black-and-white, 11-by 14-inch photos tuckedaway in a separate envelope. Theselarger photos captured the samefamiliar face of Kennedy, yet theylooked as if they had been taken by amember of the media.
Taillon said she can’t recall anyfriends or family members who
would have given her father pressphotos.
“I don’t remember the eventmuch,” Taillon said. “And I wasn’t inany of the photos.”
Taillon does recognize one boyin the photos. Taillon’s late brother,Robert (Rusty) Anderson is picturedwith a Kennedy hat and campaignposter. He was 13 at the time. Ander-son, who graduated from BarringtonHigh in 1965, worked for Kennedy’scampaign with a handful of otherstudents, including longtime Bar-rington Middle School principal DonThompson.
Thompson, then a BHS senior,said he can remember the day clear-ly – recalling everything from thebrief campaign speech to Kennedy’schoice of attire.
“He had a grey flannel suit andblue and white striped button-downshirt,” Thompson said. “It was sucha nice, brisk fall day.”
According to “Voices of Bar-rington,” a local history novel byDiane Kostick, Kennedy had beeninvited by resident George “Barney”
Ross to visit the heavily Republicantown at the time. Ross had remainedclose friends with Kennedy – origi-nally meeting each other as wartimeshipmates. Thompson said Ross wasworking as an usher at The Catlowtheater about that same campaigntime.
Kostick wrote that Kennedyspoke to a large crowd gathered onthe steps of Barrington High School,where the future president was“greeted by many well-wishers and asea of bobbing, Nixon-For-Presidentred and blue posters.”
Current BHS U.S. history teacherDerek Gablenz said Kennedy’s staffmost likely arranged for the Bar-rington visit because Illinois was a“hotly contested swing state.”
“Kennedy is now an iconic fig-ure,” Gablenz said. “It’s neat becauseI don’t think the people listening tothat speech realized they were listen-ing to a future president.”
Other photos from Kennedy’sBHS visit can be found in the Bar-rington Public Library’s onlinephotostream. Librarian Rose Faber
said those photos were donated bynow-relocated Barrington residentsRobert and Alice Perkins in 2006.Although, Taillon’s photos are quitedifferent – so unique, Taillon said,that she was upset to find the photoshad been tucked away in a familycloset, never shown or seen.
“I felt like they would have valueat the local level,” Taillon said.“They deserved to see the light ofday.
“My photos clearly show Mr.Kennedy against the wide facade ofBHS and show the excitement of thecrowd. They give a real sense of thevibe of the rally.”
Thompson said he remembersrunning alongside Kennedy’s car,feeling mesmerized by how well-spoken the then-senator was.
Kennedy’s speech was an effortto distinguish himself from his op-ponent, Republican Richard Nixon.The speech addressed Barringtonresidents as citizens of the countrywho were left to make a judgmentcall for their future.
“What do you want?” Kennedy
asked. “You live in this community.Your children go to school here. Youmust make your judgment on Nov.8.”
Thompson said that bustling Oc-tober day will forever be embeddedin his memory.
“It’s the same thing as remember-ing where you were when he waskilled,” Thompson said.
To commemorate the historicevent, Taillon’s photos will beunveiled at BHS just one day beforethe 50-year anniversary of Kennedy’sassassination – at 1 p.m. Thursday,Nov. 21.
Taillon said she hopes the photoswill inspire current and future BHSstudents to become involved in thecommunity.
“A half century later, I hope thisspirit of involvement in politics orsome other endeavor still prevails,”Taillon said.

BARRINGTON – Growingup in India, Jolly Dandonalearned how to do intricatehand beading from watchingher mother.
Dandona has been sewingand helping her mother sinceshe was 12 years old. Hermother even used to makethe family’s clothes and hand-bags.
At 24 years old, Dandonamoved to the U.S. At 27 yearsold, she bought BarringtonTailor Shop, 112 E. Main St.
On Nov. 19, the BarringtonTailor Shop will mark its 20-year anniversary. The shopcreates one-of-a-kind customclothing for men, women andchildren, as well as performsexpert alterations and recuts.They also offer skilled fur re-styling and repairs to leathergarments.
“This was my passion,”said Dandona, who owns theshop with her husband, Gary.“I want to do the design. I lovefashion. I love the fashion in-dustry.”
The shop sees mostly re-peat customers and word-of-mouth referrals, and Dan-dona loves when customersbring her a challenge.
“I like different challeng-es,” she said. “I’m so creative.I like to find the best way todo things.”
Susan McConnell, ownerof Susan McConnell Photog-raphy, which is right nextdoor to Barrington TailorShop, described Dandona as“creative and super nice.”
Given her profession, Mc-Connell travels often and pur-chases clothing from all overthe world, which she relies onDandona to fit for her.
“I can take anything to herand she can make it fit me,”McConnell said.
McConnell recently pur-chased a handmade dressfrom the 1960s online andbrought it to Dandona for al-terations.
She’s confident the dresswill fit perfectly.
“She just makes you feel
good about yourself, and she’sjust easy to approach,” McCo-nnell said.
Dandona said becausemost people come to her shopby word of mouth, they gener-ally trust her to work on someof their most prized items.
“It’s fun for me when thebrides come here and theyare so comfortable,” Dando-na said. “They trust me to dowhatever I need to.”
Dandona can make alter-ations to a newly purchaseddress, create a dress fromscratch, or even restyle anolder gown for a second wed-ding, for example if a bridewants to wear her mother’sdress. She said the brides re-ally love the hand-beadingshe does.
Just as Dandona learnedfrom her mother, she is pass-
ing on her knowledge to herchildren. Jolly and Gary havebeen married for 26 years andhave three children, daugh-
ters Crystal, 26, and Jazz, 21,and son Ajit, 18.
“Jazz has grown up in theshop,” Dandona said. “... She
used to put rhinestones onswatches.”
Dandona said Jazz has ex-pressed an interest in possi-bly taking over the shop oneday. Both Jazz and Crystal dotheir own sewing.
“It’s so hard to find goodtailors,” Dandona said. “Theyounger generation doesn’tdo it much.”
After all these years, Dan-dona said there is nothinglike getting a photo from abride on her special day witha note of thanks.
“It feels so good,” she said.And Dandona couldn’t
imagine doing anything else.“I think I would go crazy if
I didn’t do the work or havethe shop,” she said.

Free political adviceA Republican named Ken
Cuccinelli lost the race for
governor of Virginia to a Dem-ocrat named Terry McAuliffe.
Now, I couldn’t care less who
is the governor of Virginia.
However, here is some free
political advice coming from
this race that can apply
anywhere.
If you are an aspiring
politician or a supporter of an
aspiring politician, don’t run or
support anyone who runs on
the platform that Cuccinelli
ran on.There is one simple reason
Cuccinelli lost his race, and if
you follow his example, you
will lose too. Cuccinelli ran on
a platform of pro-life, with-out exception. That means
that even if a woman were
raped, she could not have an
abortion.The result was that Cucci-
nelli lost the single-woman
vote by 42 points. Also as a
result, not only did Cucinelli
lose the race, a staunch
pro-abortion candidate won.
Cucinelli actually ended up
promoting abortion, not life.
Abortions due to rape are
about 1 percent of all abor-tions. Cuccinelli lost out on a
chance to reduce 99 percent
of all abortions because he
was stupid enough to think
he had to force rape victims
to not have abortions. Free
advice: Do not follow the
platform of Cuccinelli. It is
very frustrating for those of us
who believe in life.

Broncos sophomores complete perfect season
By TARAH [email protected]
BARRINGTON – Bron-cos football teams have beenthe talk of the town this sea-son, and the BHS sophomoresquad was no exception.
In his 15th year coachingBHS football, sophomore headcoach Kevin Art led his teamthrough an undefeated nine-game season. A win Oct. 25against Hoffman Estates HighSchool concluded the season.
Unlike varsity football, thesophomore team does not par-take in playoff rounds.
Art said that this is the firsttime in his sophomore-level
coaching career that one ofhis teams has achieved an un-defeated season record, andArt attributed that success tothe personalities of his play-ers.
“There’s a real strongsense of community amongthese guys,” Art said. “Every-one got along well. They weremotivated to win games eversince team leader meetingsbegan in the spring.”
The Broncos sophomorefootball team does not awardany one player a captain posi-tion, but rather rotates teamleaders every week, depend-ing on who had a good prac-tice.
“I think this success is re-ally a tribute to the team,” Artsaid. “They’re a humble groupof guys – no show boats.”
Art said that more specif-ically, this year’s sophomoreteam was determined to beatConant High School of Hoff-man Estates because it wasone of their only losses as a
freshman team.“That loss really left a bad
taste in the players’ mouths,”Art said. “But I remindedthem to take it one game at atime. I told them our recordwas always 1-0, never per-fect.”
Now that the Broncos var-sity team has advanced to
state semifinals, the success-ful sophomore team has beensupporting the upper-class,serving as a scout practiceteam.
“The teams really bond-ed eating dinner together ataway games,” Art said.
Looking ahead to nextyear, Art predicts the nextvarsity team to be just ascompetitive as the successfulsophomore team gains juniorstatus.
“These guys have a cer-tain quality that cannot becoached,” Art said. “Theytake a lot of pride in their suc-cess, and they’ve got that win-ning attitude.”
As players move up, Barrington High School football has promising future“These guys have a certain quality that cannot be
coached. They take a lot of pride in their success,
and they’ve got that winning attitude.”

Broncos’ footballplayoff run ends
By DAN VASKOBarrington Suburban Life contributor
When sixth-seeded Ste-venson started with two ear-ly scores, it proved to be toomuch for the Broncos to over-come. The only points of thestate 8A quarterfinal came inthe first quarter on a nightwhen the weather played ahuge role. High winds accom-panied by constant rain andtwo lightning delays providedboth teams with a challenge.
On Stevenson’s first drive,quarterback Willie Bourbonhooked up with receiver Cam-eron Green for a 37-yard touch-down. The Broncos fumbledthe ensuing kickoff, and thePatriots capitalized immedi-ately with another touchdownpass, putting Barrington into a14-0 hole. That turned out to bethe final score as well.
Regardless of the outcome,head coach Joe Sanchez ishappy with how hard his team
fought all year long.“I’m extremely proud of our
guys. I don’t think there weretoo many people that wouldhave predicted that we wouldhave been here this year,” San-chez said. “That’s just over-coming all odds.”
The coaching staff and play-ers said this was a special yearfor the school and community.
“I think what I’m going toremember them for is a groupthat helped establish our cores… and they genuinely lovedeach other,” Sanchez said.“When I have a chance to re-flect … and look toward nextyear, we’ll take a look andmake sure that this group nowthat’s coming back will honorthis group by continuing thetradition of believing in what itis we’re trying to accomplish.”
Even though their season isover, the Broncos progressedthrough the first two rounds ofthe playoffs for the first time insix seasons.

Get ready, Bears fans. You’re aboutto meet some of the best-kept secrets inthe NFL.
The Bears will face the St. LouisRams in week 12, and while the sum ofits parts is a pedestrian 4-6, there aresome young studs on this ballclub whocan do some real damage.
On paper, this looks like a team theBears should be able to handle. That’swhat the Indianapolis Colts thoughttwo weeks ago before the Ramsstormed into Indianapolis and blewthem off the field by a 38-8 margin.
There are other danger signs.This will be only the second game
the Bears have played indoors thisyear. Their first was in Detroit, wherethey played their worst game of theseason, falling 40-32.
The Rams will be the second team
the Bears have faced this year comingoff a bye. The Lions came into Chicagofor their second meeting after theirweekend off and knocked off the Bears,21-19.
Let’s meet Tavon Austin. TheRams traded up eight spots in the firstround of this year’s draft to take the5-foot-8-inch, 176-pound mighty miteout of West Virginia, who, until theColts game, appeared to be just kindof finding his way. In Indianapolis, hecaught 57- and 81-yard touchdowns,and returned four punts for 145 yards,including a 98-yard touchdown.
Think Devin Hester, but this guycan play wide receiver, too.
St. Louis features a quartet of youngrunning backs – Zac Stacy, DarylRichardson, Benny Cunningham andIsaiah Pead.
Stacy is the new No. 1, with 129rushes and 537 yards, a 4.2 average andthree touchdowns rushing. He also hascaught 15 passes for 97 yards and onetouchdown receiving. All four backscatch the ball out of the backfield. Rich-ardson has been banged up, and Pead,
the highest draft choice of the four, isburied on the bench.
The Rams struggle at receiver.Chris Givens is their No. 1 with 28receptions and 463 yards for a 16.5average. Beyond Austin, who has33 receptions for 345 yards and fourtouchdowns, Austin Pettis and BrianQuick fill out this pedestrian group.
While the Bears were recruitingMartellus Bennett in free agency, theRams went shopping for Jared Cook.He has 33 receptions for 428 yardsand three touchdowns. No. 2 tight endLance Kendricks is a factor as wellwith 23 receptions, 172 yards and threetouchdowns.
Like the Bears, the Rams are in thehands of their backup quarterback,Kellen Clemens. With the franchise,Sam Bradford, out for the year with anACL tear, Clemens has completed 46 of86 throws, a 53.5 completion rate, for634 yards, three touchdowns, two inter-ceptions and a 79.3 passer rating. He’sbeen OK, but nowhere near as effectiveas Josh McCown. Clemens may be theweak link right now.
The best matchup of the game willfeature Jake Long, who is once againhealthy and one of the best left tacklesin the game, going head-to-head withJulius Peppers.
Third-year player Robert Quinn isthe NFL’s breakout defensive playerof the year. Known as “Little Julius”at North Carolina – an ode to Peppers– before the Rams chose him with the14th pick in the 2011 first round, Quinnalready has 12 sacks and five forcedfumbles.
He is complimented on the otherend by Kyle Long’s big brother, Chris,the second player taken in the 2008draft. Chris Long has 6½ sacks, oneforced fumble and two recovered.
Linebackers James Laurinaitis andAlec Ogletree and defensive tackleMichael Brockers are three more firstround picks, and Janoris Jenkins, whothe Rams took with the 39th pick in the2012 draft, are all playmakers.
This is a big-play defense that isgetting better every week. Bears fansbest hope they aren’t catching it at theworst possible time.

By J.C. TALONFantasy football writer
Week 11 featured a num-ber of surprise breakout per-formers. Some, like RashadJennings and Michael Floyd,already were owned in manyfantasy leagues. Althoughthese unlikely stars were mostoften fantasy benchwarm-ers, owners wise (or lucky)enough to start them receiveda huge boost in week 11.
Other breakout performerscame from nowhere. Theseplayers, such as Bobby Rain-ey, most likely reside in waiv-er land, and are sure to be hotpick-ups this week.
As we have learned overthe years, one breakout per-formance does not ensurefuture productivity. Let’sreview the unlikely fantasystars from week 11, and try toseparate the one-week won-ders from those worthy of aspot on your roster.
Rashad Jennings, RB, OaklandWeek 11 Performance: 22
carries, 150 yards, one touch-down.
Jennings is owned inless than half (44 percent) ofESPN leagues. Veteran fanta-sy players are familiar withJennings – he has had mul-tiple opportunities to fill infor current teammate DarrenMcFadden and previously forMaurice Jones-Drew. Until re-cently, he never had failed todisappoint. In the past threeweeks, however, he has aver-aged more than 18 points. Inthe next two weeks, Jenningshas favorable matchups athome versus Tennessee andat Dallas. In weeks 14 and 15,things get tougher (at Jets andversus Kansas City).
Verdict: McFadden’s returnis not certain. Jennings is adecent stopgap for the nexttwo weeks.
Bobby Rainey, RB, Tampa BayWeek 11 Performance: 30
carries, 163 yards, two touch-downs.
Rainey, who was waivedearlier in the year by Cleve-land, is owned in only 2.2percent of ESPN leagues.The general consensus wasthat he would split time withBrian Leonard. In the pasttwo weeks, Rainey has as-serted himself, and is clearlythe more effective of the twobacks.
Verdict: Rainey likely willbe the guy in Tampa the restof the way. However, theBucs’ schedule is brutal. Own-ers expecting a repeat of week11 will be disappointed.
Michael Floyd, WR, ArizonaWeek 11 Performance: Six
receptions, 193 yards, onetouchdown
Until week 11, Floyd wasaveraging about six fantasypoints per game. I was actual-ly surprised to learn that he isowned in 63.3 percent of ESPNleagues. Those 63 percentmust have known something,because Floyd went off for 27points in week 11. The Cardi-nals have a favorable sched-ule the next four weeks, butface the Seahawks and 49ersin weeks 16 and 17.
Verdict: Definitely worth aroster spot, Floyd is a decentNo. 3 wide receiver or flex op-tion the rest of the way.
Matt McGloin, QB, OaklandWeek 11 Performance: 197
yards passing, three touch-downs
If you are looking for aback-up quarterback, here’sone thing we know about McG-loin: He’s available (owned in
0.2 percent of ESPN leagues).According to the scuttlebutt,McGloin will be given everyopportunity to keep the start-ing job for the rest of the year.
Verdict: Perhaps McGloincatches on and develops intoa solid pro. He has no fantasyvalue this season, however.
Garrett Graham, TE, HoustonWeek 11 Performance: Sev-
en receptions, 136 yards, onetouchdown
For those in need of atight end, Graham is ownedin about 20 percent of ESPNleagues. He erupted in week11, scoring his first touch-down since week 5. OwenDaniels could return to theTexans this year, but, giventhe season Houston is having,it would make more sense tolet him sit out the rest of theyear.
Verdict: Graham would bea nice play in week 12 againstthe Jags. His value after thisweek is negligible.
Can surprise performers continue to produce?

Relatives of the Robertson family, forwhom Barrington’s “White House” at 145West Main St. was built in 1898, were amongabout 200 guests who toured the propertyduring a rare public viewing Saturday andSunday.
Over the years, in addition to serving as aprivate residence, the property has been usedas a rest home, a hospital during the 1918 in-fluenza epidemic, and as a real-estate office.
The village of Barrington purchased thehistoric home for about $1.8 million in 2007and just launched efforts to raise $5 millionto renovate the property into a cultural andcommunity center for Barrington.
Plans for the building include three par-lors, including a dining room and kitchen onthe first floor, office space for nonprofits onthe second floor, and a large ballroom on the
third floor to accommodate seated parties ofas many as 150 people.
Renovation campaign committee chair-woman and long-time Barrington residentMary Smith said no donation is too small,and the door to Barrington’s White Housewill be open to everyone for public and pri-vate events such as weddings, holiday parties,meetings, lectures, cooking classes, musicalperformances and more.
“It’s going to be a very broad-based build-ing so the options are almost limitless,” Smithsaid.
The village will move forward with therenovation work when it secures 80 percent ofthe funds needed. It hopes to break ground inthe spring of 2014. Renovation will take aboutnine months to complete. The goal is to unveilthe transformed property in time to celebratethe village’s sesquicentennial, or 150th anni-versary, in 2015.
If you’d like to contribute to the project,contact the village of Barrington. For infor-mation, visit Barrington-il.gov.
