Riverside theft suspect arrested in Wisconsin SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA A Wisconsin man now in custody for an alleged burglary and arson in that state was issued an arrest warrant by Riverside police for the Jan. 26 burglary of a residence in Riverside, according to a news release from Riverside police.

Shawn A. Ramirez, 21, of the 200 block of Indian Mound Street, Oxford, Wis., was held in the Adams County Sheriff’s Department after he was Shawn A. charged for an alleged Ramirez burglary and fire at a home in Jackson, Wis. Riverside police placed a hold on Ramirez after learning his bond had been set at only $500 cash. Ramirez will be returned to Riverside once he clears the charges in Wisconsin, according to the release.

On Jan. 26, Riverside police received a call regarding a burglary at a residence in the 300 block of Nuttall Road. The victim told police he had an estranged cousin staying with him from out of state and after he left the residence, several items were missing, including jewelry, a diamond ring, an iPad Mini and several other pieces of electronic equipment. Riverside Police were informed the defendant had fled the state and could be in Wisconsin.

Over the next several weeks, Riverside investigators were able to track the stolen property to a pawn shop located on the 6300 block of West North Avenue in Oak Park. Investigators were able to recover some of the prop-

Investigators interviewed store personnel who were able to add additional statements as to who the offender was in the theft.

On Feb. 6, Riverside police obtained a $50,000 felony theft warrant for Ramirez.

Investigators learned Ramirez was arrested in Oxford, Wis., and may have been in the custody of the Adams County Sheriff’s Police. Riverside detectives working with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office located Ramirez, who was in custody in Adams County. Ramirez was served with the Riverside warrant by the Adams County Sheriff’s Police.

Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel said investigators were worried the defendant could post bond and flee before the Riverside warrant could be served. Weitzel said he instructed detectives to act quickly and obtain a warrant as the victim in the Riverside case had thousands of dollars in jewelry, electronic equipment and cash stolen from their residence.

“The theft is significant,” Weitzel said in a statement. “I wanted to ensure that defendant would not bond out of the Adams County Detention Center in Wisconsin and then flee before Riverside investigators could apprehend Mr. Ramirez.”

LYONS – What came first, the bronze eagle or the pub?

The answer is not as easy as one might think. But there is a new pub in Lyons, and it has on display the work of Chicago sculptor Marshall Svendsen. But first, welcome to the Bronze Eagle Pub. Located at 7320 W. 39th St., brothers Rick and Joe Riggio bought the former Barb’s Hideaway, which Rick Riggio described as “basically the worst dive in Lyons.”

“We shut it down, gutted it and remodeled and reopened at the end of September,” Riggio said.

On Feb. 8, a grand opening was conducted, and for those who had not been to the pub before, they were made to decide between a whole mess of craft beers, 19 in all, among the standard brews.

There’s Revolution’s IPA and A little Crazy, Lagunitas, Two Brothers, Pink Turtle from Lyons’ own Buckle Down Brewery and more.

“We try to do more local craft beers than the nationwide one,” Riggio said.

While the building was gutted and remodeled, it still has old bones, and that’s probably a good thing.

“We had to work with what we had, Riggio said. “We basically wanted to open with the same neighborhood bar feel but with more quality products and a larger variety of craft beers than the typical neighborhood bar.”

The old bar never had a kitchen and neither does the new bar, Riggio said.

As for business, Riggio said it’s going good.

“It’s going good. It’s the first bar we’ve ever owned,” he said. “There was a learning curve there. We learned to promote.”

Not that Rick Riggio was a total stranger to the bar scene. Riggio has been in the amusement machine business for most of his adult life.

“Most of my customers have always been these neighborhood bars,”

County Board passes wage theft ordinance SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The Cook County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 10 passed an ordinance designed to address the problem of wage theft.

The ordinance, introduced by Cook County Commissioner Jeffrey Tobolski, prohibits any company or individual who is found guilty or liable of wage theft from obtaining Cook County procurement contracts, business licenses or property tax incentives for a period of five years. Cook County now is the largest county in the nation to pass such legislation.

“These past several years have been some of the most economically challenging in our nation’s history, and the impact of the Great Recession has been most damaging to our lowwage workers,” Board President Toni Preckwinkle stated in a release. “Unscrupulous business owners have exploited low-wage workers by refusing to pay overtime, classifying legal employees as independent contractors, paying less than minimum wage and, in some instances, even refusing to pay wages outright.”

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTERN SPRINGS – In a collaboration between the Lyons Township High School Theatre Board and the music and dance departments, students will perform a production of “Once on this Island” beginning Thursday night and continuing through the weekend.

The production will be at LT’s South Campus Performing Arts Center, 4900 S. Willow Springs Road.

Tickets to the performance will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children and senior citizens. LT students also can get in for $5 with a school ID. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, which will open an hour before the show.

“Once on this Island” is a musical that takes place on an island that is very similar to Haiti, according to a news release from the school. The people on the island are divided into two groups: the wealthy and the peasants. Among the peasants, Ti Moune longs for a more exciting life. By manipulating the four gods – Death, Love, Earth and Water – Ti Moune witnesses an accident that severely injures a wealthy man. She nurses him back to health and falls for him.

Once he is reunited with his people, she travels to the rich city to rekindle their love and the story unfolds.

The large cast features student performers from La Grange, Western Springs, Brookfield, Burr Ridge, Summit, Countryside and Indian Head Park, among other communities.

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday and Friday. Two performances will be at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Sunday. The theater opens 30 minutes before the show.

Tobolski stated millions of dollars in wages are stolen from workers by their own employers every year, and businesses that take advantage of Cook County workers should not benefit from Cook County contracts, licenses and property tax incentives.

Representatives from ARISE Chicago, an organization dedicated to building partnerships between faith communities and workers to fight workplace injustice, praised the legislation, according to the release.

“The best part has been achieving the weight loss goal and maintaining it!”

Riverside Township tax appeal time is here SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA RIVERSIDE – Riverside Township property owners may now file assessed valuation appeals with the Cook County Assessor’s Office through March 3.

Township Assessor Fran Sitkiewicz will conduct a property tax seminar at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Riverside Public Library.

Those attending should bring a copy of their most recent property tax bill if they have specific questions or concerns.

The Riverside Township Assessor’s Office is available to help taxpayers determine the best reason for filing an appeal, find comparables and complete the appropriate forms. To further assist property owners, office hours will be extended through Feb. 28. The extended hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Accommodations can be made for those needing an appointment at alternative times.

The Riverside Township Assessor can be reached by phone at 708-447-7700 or email at 27rside@sbcglobal.net. Ap-

pointments are encouraged but not necessary.

All property owners who qualify for Senior Citizen Exemptions and Homeowner Exemptions should file their applications now. Once a Homeowner Exemption is applied for it automatically renews every year.

However, residents who purchased their homes in 2013 need to file for a first-time Homeowner Exemption. The Senior Citizen Exemption is available for owner-occupied residents who turned 65 in 2014. The Senior Freeze Exemption provides some seniors with additional savings if the combined income of all members of the household is less than $55,000 and if the senior has been owner-occupant of the property since Jan. 1, 2013.

The due date for Senior Exemptions was extended to April 1, 2015. Applications can be obtained from the Riverside Township Assessor and Cook County Assessor.

The rules regarding Senior Citizen Exemptions can be confusing when a senior moves. To avoid erroneous Se-

nior Citizen Exemptions, it is important to understand the eligibility rules.

Contact the Riverside Township Assessor’s Office for assistance.

Finally, senior citizens struggling with property taxes can defer payment of their property taxes until their homes are sold. The tax deferral program is essentially a loan allowing seniors to defer a maximum of $5,000 per tax year. To qualify, the homeowner must have turned 65 by June 1, 2014, have household income of $55,000 or less, owned and occupied the qualifying residence for at least three years, have equity in their homes that exceeds the sum of property taxes and not owe property taxes for previous years. Further information about this program is available from the Cook County Treasurer’s Office.

The office of Township Assessor Fran Sitkiewicz will assist taxpayers needing more information about these or any other property tax related concern, and can be reached by phone at 708-447-7700 or email at 27rside@sbcglobal.net.

Lyons Township High School students react to a staff rap contest at an all-school assembly.

Is school fun? Well, it should be at least some of the time. Clearly, the teachers at Lyons Township High School agree with this sentiment, in light of the “flash mob” performance they put on for students recently at the all-school assembly. Some teachers also took part in a rap battle, which must’ve been quite a sight to see (and hear).

It’s a shame to see that the decline of longtime stalwart RadioShack is apparently headed toward an unhappy conclusion.

Sadly, the location at the North Riverside Park Mall was on the list of 1,800 slated for closure. There was a time where you couldn’t imagine a mall without one, and anyone with an interest in tinkering with gadgets was sure to make a pit stop at the local store.

SPRINGFIELD – Americans care too little about education and too much about diplomas. Here in Springfield we extoll the virtues of Abraham Lincoln, our native son, who despite having little formal schooling was able to teach himself. This nation has never had a greater president.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Larry Ellison rose to be the titans of high tech. And none of VIEWS them obtained college degrees.

Scott But when it comes to Reeder politicians, Americans have a different standard. We haven’t had a president without a college diploma since Harry Truman. The Washington Post reports that not one member of the U.S. Senate, doesn’t have at least a bachelor’s degree. In fact, our last three presidents all hold advanced degrees from Ivy League institutions.

Is our nation better off for it? It’s debatable. Unfortunately, a college diploma has become a litmus test for some voters on whether they will support a candidate.

A good case in point is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

More than a few liberals are clicking their tongues and shaking their heads, because this presidential hopeful doesn’t have a college degree. He quit his senior year at Marquette University to take a job.

There are things I like about Walker and things I don’t. But one thing that doesn’t bother me one iota is that he doesn’t have a college degree. I’m much more concerned about a person’s willingness to learn and their life experiences.

Look no further than the late U.S. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois. He never held a college degree but had a long and honorable career in politics and higher education. In fact, even without a college degree, he was able to found the graduate program where I received my master’s degree. He later went on to found what is now the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University.

Increasingly, colleges are pricing themselves out of reach of many families. Much of this comes from longstanding federal policies that have inflated tuition costs.

Inevitably, the marketplace will create less costly learning alternatives. It may come in the form of online or distance learning. It may take some other form that provides learning opportunities. And to evaluate the effectiveness of such programs, the question to be asked isn’t whether people have degrees but whether they are educated.

Too much focus on polls

Pat on back for Public Works

A tip of the halo and a pat on the back to Mr. Schiller and his wonderful Public Works crew in Berwyn for the great job of snow removal, but a note to the Police Department: You’ve got to do something about the horrific traffic problems at each of the schools when school is out.

Even without the snow, it’s a terrible, terrible traffic mess.

Snow removal past Cass Avenue U.S. needs to take action against Westmont snow removal wasn’t terrorists groups in Middle East that much better than Downers Grove.

The murder of American hostages by Muslim extremists is terrible. How does the U.S.A. stop this? First, imagine how a President Roosevelt, Eisenhower or Reagan might have responded to such murders. Immediate carpet bombing of manufacturing centers and terrorist enclaves is a good guess. With today’s technology, enhanced security and pinpoint retaliatory capability, a terrorist group would be certain of self-destruction, ordered by presidents who cared more about the safety of American citizens than political correctness.

They spend most of their time going up and down Cass Avenue in downtown Westmont. Sure, Cass Avenue is clear down to the pavement. But drive down the side streets a day or two after the snowstorm. You’re lucky if the plow went through once. I know people who live on the south side of town and whose streets were not plowed for a couple of days.

Don’t give Westmont that much credit unless you only drive through downtown Westmont on Cass Avenue.

Why do people feel compelled to denigrate other religions and then wonder why there are consequences to their actions? Freedom of speech means you “can,” but does it mean you “should”?

Where is the humor in mocking any religion, whether it be through political cartoons comparing Mohammed to a dog, “Saturday Night Live”-type programs making fun of Muslims and Christians, so-called “artistic” displays placing Christ immersed in urine, protesters making a mockery of religious rites for fallen servicemen at cemeteries, etc.?

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if all of us recognized how sacred each individual religion is to the followers of that religion?

What happened to the children of Jackie Robinson West is shameful. Those children played their best. They did everything they were supposed to do.

The adults let them down! I hope those coaches are banned from ever coaching again. To them, it was more important to win than show the boys that honesty and integrity are what counts. Imagine the hurt the coaches have caused these boys. I just hope the boys can see this for what it is and not let it destroy their hopes and dreams.

Adults let children of Jackie Robinson West down

Continued from page 11 Comcast complaint This has to do with Downers Grove Comcast. I pay over $80 a month for the digital starter package and all the extra fees that they tag on with it. And yet, there is no on-screen guide to their programs. Now, they used to have such a guide on a certain channel where you could see what’s on, but now they took it away, and when you call them, they have no explanation. This is ridiculous. How are you supposed to know what’s on?

Just one more bad thing about Comcast.

Downers Grove residents should feel safe on sidewalk Why is a homeowner allowed to put up a 4-foot plastic fence just inches from a public sidewalk and have the right, according to the Downers Grove Police Department, to let his pitbull and mastiff dog charge the fence as people are walking by? According to the police department, he has this right to do this because the dogs are on his property. My question is, where do his rights end and mine begin?

This is a public sidewalk, and people need

to feel safe when they’re walking past.

The owner should be made to put up a secure, 6-foot fence, so that you don’t feel your life is in imminent danger. ... I would really like to see an ordinance by the Downers Grove Township to not allow this to be going on, especially when the fence is right on top of a public sidewalk.

Do better next time

Once in a while, I treat myself to an Egg McMuffin on my way to work in the morning. I pass a McDonald’s on Maple Avenue in Lisle and the new one on Ogden Avenue in Downers Grove. How is it that Lisle charges $2.99, while Downers Grove charges $3.45 for the same item?

This is a 46 cents difference. So, if you need an Egg McMuffin in the morning, I recommend you shop in Lisle.

Regarding the recent snow removal effort by the village of Downers Grove: The people in charge, including the mayor and anyone up for re-election, would be wise to familiarize themselves with the story of Chicago Mayor Michael Bilandic and the blizzard of 1979. Remember that something as simple as a bad snowfall could be your downfall as an elected official. Please do a better job next time.

Middle school students hoping to create new state symbol SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LA GRANGE HIGHLANDS – Students at La Grange Highlands Middle School have been doing some research on invertebrates – and they’re hoping one in particular will become a new symbol of the state of Illinois.

Invertebrates are animals that don’t have a spine and include animals like insects, snails, clams and spiders.

Fifth-grade students in La Grange Highlands Middle School teacher Jen-

nifer Carnes’ classroom got to thinking that Illinois does not yet have a state spider, so they’ve selected one to submit.

Carnes said she hopes her students will learn the legislative process by submitting the zebra jumping spider as a new Illinois state symbol. They wrote letters to State Rep. Jim Durkin, R-Burr Ridge, suggesting the zebra jumping spider as a state spider. Carnes said students have heard back and Durkin will likely introduce the zebra spider as a state symbol in the coming months.

“We researched the zebra jumping spider and found it to be very common in Illinois,” Carnes said. “Our school will even have a black and white day in honor of our hopes of getting this through as new legislation.”

The zebra jumping spider is a common jumping spider. As a jumping spider, it does not build a web to catch prey but jumps upon it. The spider is common in Europe and across North America and generally lives in close proximity to humans.

Talia Effeny of La Grange recently won $4,000 for the Scotties Tree Rock video contest about the importance of trees.

Fifth-grader’s tree video earns $4,000 for school

By MEGAN PIOTROWSKI editorial@mysuburbanlife.com

Check out Talia Effeny’s award-winning video at shawurl.com/1qhm. was both a funding source and an opportunity for students to be creative and get their work published.

“The contest was part of one of our school improvement goals: publishing in the real world. The goal is to not just get students to create, but to give students’ work a level of authenticity through publishing,” Graber said.

The national contest, hosted by Scotties Facial Tissues, asked students to work individually or in groups to create a three-minute video on the importance of trees and how their school could use the grand prize of $10,000 to beautify the outdoors. Finalists were selected and the winners were determined by an online poll.

Talia said the video took her one weekend to make. Her mom helped out by recording the video.

“She kind of directed me on what to do with the camera,” Talia’s mother, Vicky Effeny, said. “She wrote down all the

paragraphs she wanted to say, and she just basically just told me where to stand,” she said.

Vicky was surprised to find out the motivation behind their afternoon in the forest preserve, however.

“We were a bit surprised because we thought her video was for a school project. Then the next thing we know, we got a phone call from her teacher saying she was a top 10 finalist in the U.S. for this contest,” the mother said.

Surprised, but very proud.

“We are very excited for her and proud because she pretty much put together the video by herself,” Vicky said.

Not surprising, perhaps, is that Talia has big ideas for how she’d like to see the prize money used.

“I would really love a lot of vegetables and some basil in our grade’s garden bed,” Talia said. She also has a unique concept for incorporating sunflowers into their garden space.

“We’d plant a ton of sunflowers in a circle, and when you tie them together, it would make a giant fort,” Talia said.

Graber said they’re still in the brainstorming stages at this point, but that it’s a definite possibility.

LA GRANGE – How many people know that one third of the U.S. is covered with forest or that one healthy tree can have a value of up to $10,000?

That’s what anyone who watched the award-winning video by Highlands Elementary School fifth-grader Talia Effeny learned. And, as a result, Talia’s school is $4,000 richer.

Talia created the short video for the Scotties Trees Rock video contest, and it recently earned third place in the thirdto-fifth-grade category of the competition. The La Grange school now will receive $4,000 in funding for outdoor beautification projects.

“I was thrilled because I know Talia’s a great kid. I was just as proud that it was very much a student-produced project,” Highlands Principal Brian Graber said.

Talia first heard about the contest from her fifth-grade teacher, Amanda Schlegel, back in September. The school had been working on securing funding for a garden project when Schlegel found the contest opportunity.

Graber said this particular contest was perfect because it

We hear with more than our ears: gestures, body language, and eye contact work together to enhance communication. For hearing impaired people, these factors are even more important.

Audiologist Dr. Susan Rogan explains that even with top-quality hearing aids, some patients benefit from extra effort to boost understanding.

She shares communication strategies that help hearing impaired people hear and comprehend better: “Before talking, get the hearing impaired person’s attention by saying his or her name. If they’re washing dishes and don’t know you’ve started a conversation, they may miss the first part of what you’re saying. Make sure they know you’re speaking to them.

“Look the person you’re talking to in the eye, and face him, so he can focus on your conversation. These are good communication skills for everyone, not just the hearing impaired.”

She adds that nothing thwarts a conversation more than the “dreaded

W” word. “When you’re trying to talk with grandma who’s hearing impaired, and she can’t hear you and shouts, ‘What?,’ both parties grow frustrated. The result is often an exasperated, ‘Nevermind!’ and no one’s satisfied.”

She cites additional tips to promote communication: Speak clearly, slowly, but naturally without shouting or exaggerating mouth movements; avoid complex sentences or sudden changes of topics; minimize background noise; paraphrase; and use pictures when possible.

“In conversation, talkers naturally drop their voice at the end of a sentence. This makes it challenging for a hearing impaired person to understand the complete sentence,” she says.

Rogan adds that while some hearing impaired people don’t lip read, they may speech read (using visual clues of lip and facial movements), so avoid eating, chewing, or smoking while talking. She urges the hearing impaired to develop good listening skills, and not bluff understanding, but to give people feedback on what works best for them.

Riverside Brookfield’s Tommy Russell (back) competes Jan. 30 at 106 pounds in a dual meet against Elmwood Park. The freshman was one of six RB wrestlers who qualified for the state tournament at Saturday’s sectional.

RB sends sizable group to state wrestling

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Wrestlers like Tommy Russell and Josh Contreras have embodied the improvement of Riverside Brookfield this season.

Both qualified for the state tournament, which begins Thursday in Champaign, John Szydlo along with four other teammates: Nick Giurini, Antonio Ochoa, John Szydlo and Al’lon Carter.

“Freshman Tommy Russell

went from being a backup to qualifying for the state tournament,” coach Mike Boyd said. “Josh Contreras is a second-year wrestler who just qualified for state in possibly the hardest sectional bracket in the state. It had No. 1 in the country [Rich Central’s Jabari

Moody] and No. 2 and No. 4 in the state.”

Russell was fourth at 106 pounds and Contreras was fourth at 113.

The other four qualifiers were more expected to move on. Seniors Giurini (120), Ochoa (126) and Szydlo (152) advanced to state after strong regular seasons. Carter, who transferred in and started wrestling for the Bulldogs in midseason, continued his dominant junior season with a sectional title at 220 pounds.

“Carter is probably the scariest wrestler in 2A,” Boyd said. “He went from unranked

and unknown to pinning the No. 13 and No. 6 wrestler in the state, and beating the No. 9 guy in the finals 15-4. He is 100 percent a state championship threat.”

Giurini and Ochoa qualified for state last year and are a big part of what has been a strong senior class for the Bulldogs.

“Nick Giurini, Antonio Ochoa, and John Szydlo are the backbone of the team,” Boyd said. “All three seniors can come home with medals this year.”

RB brought 10 wrestlers to the sectional and impressively

qualified a majority for state.

Joel Gonzalez, Joey Swallow, Ernesto Bobe and Shawn Jan also competed at the sectional for RB. Boyd saw a strong season from his wrestlers and is optimistic about the future.

“We wrestled very well at the sectional and I am proud of all 10 sectional qualifiers,” he said. “The best part is seven of the qualifiers return next season. These seven wrestlers [will be] mixed with three or four other guys who had 10 to 15 varsity wins this season. It makes the future look bright for us.”

Sectional champ LT looks for state success Bulldogs’ Smith falls short of qualifying for state meet

Bulldogs win big against Fenton SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

By BILL STONE

Riverside Brookfield’s boys basketball team beat Fenton 91-51 on Friday behind 19 points and 11 rebounds from Sam Johnson.

Ryan Hanley and Kevin Fitzgerald scored 12 points each. James Kaczmarczyk and Jake Lucas each added 10 points. The Bulldogs host Glenbard South at 7 p.m. Friday.

editorial@mysuburbanlife.com HINSDALE – Although Lyons Township’s girls gymnastics team is the two-time defending state champion, this state trip Friday and Saturday at Palatine High School is completely different.

While seniors Kelsy Kurfirst and Kelly Ryser are making their fourth state trips, freshmen Julia Cozzi, Sarah Halm and Sonia Slusarczyk and junior newcomer Natalie Cozzi comprised the rest of the lineup that comfortably won the Hinsdale Central sectional Feb. 11 with 144.35 points despite three falls and other errors.

“It’ll be fun going to state for the first time and get the feel for it,” Halm said. “I’ve been thinking about it. I’m really happy that we made it, but I’m not really happy about the way we made it because it wasn’t one of our best meets.”

The Lions still posted the fifth-highest sectional score among the eight team qualifiers after their season-high 146.90 was the state’s second-highest regional score.

Kurfirst advanced to state automatically in four of the five events with top-five sectional finishes. She won balance beam (9.425), was second on vault (9.625), and third on uneven bars (9.475) and all-around (37.575).

Earning at-large individual state berths were Ryser in all-around (36.475), uneven bars and beam (8.95), Julia Cozzi on beam (8.95) and Halm on floor exercise (9.425).

The sectional was bittersweet for Kurfirst. The two-time defending individual state champion on floor did not qualify for state on that event because she had trouble landing her double pike flip and scored 9.05, shy of the 9.375 at-large state cut.

Last year, Kurfirst also was third at state in all-around, vault and beam.

She shared the 2012 uneven bars state title.

“It’s frustrating, especially on floor. To not even qualify for state stinks a little,” Kurfirst said. “That feeling probably won’t go away for a while, but I’d like to at least use that as motivation to make up for it on the other events and maybe allaround.”

Prairie Ridge co-op (149.25 sectional score), second to LT in 2014, is the overwhelming team favorite at state.

Fremd (146.95) and Geneva (146.00) were the only other teams to exceed scores of 145 at sectionals.

Smith also competed in the all-around at the sectional but could not move on to state. ber (at state),” LT coach Kari Karubas said. “What I need to have happen is for them to come together at the right time with the right technique under the right situation with handling the pressure.”

Kurfirst and Ryser hope to encourage and teach LT’s state newcomers.

“I’m honestly not going to make many individual goals. I just want to

enjoy competing and whatever happens, happens,” Kurfirst said. “I just want to do the best that I can and hopefully end on a good note.”

Riverside Brookfield

Lacey Smith competed in the allaround and on beam at the Hinsdale Central sectional but was unable to advance to the state meet.
