ON THE TRAIL

Economic Development Commission takes up subject in September By BOB UPHUES Editor

Video gambling, a subject that seemed to disappear from the radar in Riverside after a contentious couple of public meetings in late 2015 and a panel discussion in early 2016, has reappeared on the screen. At the Riverside Village Board meeting on July 20, a local business owner asked to reopen discussion about allowing video gambling in the village’s bars and restaurants, and the village is going to do just that. At the request of Village President Ben Sells, video gambling will be an agenda item at the next meeting of the Riverside Economic Development Commission on See VIDEO GAMBLING on page 11

Entire Brookfield Fire and Police Commission resigns Former chair says promotion snafu was ‘climax’ of issues

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Brookfield’s village board on July 24 was in line to swear in Firefighter Matt Dubik to the

rank of lieutenant, a seemingly routine piece of village business. But the promotion was derailed when the three-person Brookfield Fire and Police Commission resigned en masse before the vote

without having approved Dubik’s promotion. According to the village code, it’s the commission’s responsibility to “provide for promotion in the fire and police divisions on the basis of ascertained merit and seniority

in service and examination.” The former longtime chairwoman of the Fire and Police Commission, Sharon See RESIGNATIONS on page 9

Dr. George Rabb, whose professional connection to the Chicago Zoological Society and Brookfield Zoo spanned more than half a century, died July 27 at the age of 87. He was a longtime Brookfield resident. From 1976 until his retirement in 2004, Dr. Rabb served as president of the Chicago Zoological Society. For the past 13 years, Dr. Rabb was president emeritus of the society, continuing to serve as an advocate for conservation and wildlife until a recent illness. While no longer involved with the daily operations of Brookfield Zoo, Dr. Rabb threw himself into his many outside interests, including aggressively pursuing the amphibian extinction crisis. “He was the person who brought that to the forefront,” said Dr. Stuart Strahl, who succeeded Dr. Rabb as president of the Chicago Zoological Society in 2004. He testified before Congress, started organizations that focused on amphibians as the bellwether of environmental change, and was active with the Center for Humans and Nature, the Illinois State Museum and Chicago Wilderness. “Leaving the directorship enabled him to do so much more locally, nationally and internationally,” Strahl said. Dr. Rabb’s tenure at Brookfield Zoo began in 1956 when he was hired as curator of research at Brookfield Zoo after receiving his formal training in herpetology. He received his undergraduate degree in biology at the College of Charleston before earning master’s and doctoral degrees in zoology at the University of Michigan. One of the first Ph.D.s to work full time in an American zoo, Dr. Rabb was named associate director for research and education in 1964. In that role, he began to emphasize the importance of zoos in education. After being named president in 1976, he expanded that role by overseeing the creation of a series of immersive, naturalistic exhibits. While Brookfield Zoo had always had outdoor exhibits where moats, not steel

His impact went beyond the visible changes visitors experienced at Brookfield Zoo, Strahl said. When he was named president of the Chicago Zoological Society and director of Brookfield Zoo in 1976, Dr. Rabb inherited an organization that was financially on the brink, according to Strahl. “We were in serious trouble when he took over,” Strahl said. “There were not enough sources of revenue.” Dr. Rabb and board chairman Corky Hamill made what Strahl called a “sea change” in the way the society operated, petitioning the Cook County Forest Preserve District to increase the levy for the zoo and establishing a robust zoo membership program. In addition, Dr. Rabb changed the way people thought about the zoo. No longer a place where visitors just came to view animals and toss them junk food, the zoo taught visitors about their role in maintaining the welfare of animals. He also made the Brookfield Zoo a cutting edge institution, establishing the first nutritional lab and endocrinology lab and setting up a teaching veterinary hospital.

“It was about consistently improving the physical and mental well-being of animals and getting people to identify with animals,” said Strahl, who worked alongside Dr. Rabb as a member of the Species Survival Commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature from 1986 to 1992. “Caring is the core of conservation.” Dr. Rabb received many awards throughout his career, including the 1996 Heini Hediger Award, the 1997 Silver Medal of the Zoological Society of London and the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award of the National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment. The Chicago Zoological Society named its George B. Rabb Conservation Medal after him, and a species of frog discovered in 2005 was named in honor of him and his wife, Mary, for their work as conservationists and herpetologists. Dr. Rabb lived in Brookfield since arriving at Brookfield Zoo in 1956. For many years, he lived literally across the street from the zoo, at the corner of Hollywood and Rockefeller avenues. He later moved to another home in Brookfield, within a short drive of the zoo. Strahl said the Chicago Zoological Society was planning to host a memorial service for Dr. Rabb sometime in September. The details have not yet been finalized.

Heavy rains delay Swan Pond planting

10,000 plants wait at Public Works for area to dry out By BOB UPHUES Editor

A swarm of community volunteers was supposed to descend on Swan Pond Park last weekend to help plug in 10,000 plants in the low area of the park near the drainage culvert. The July 29 planting date was actually a rain date, after the initial date of July 15 got washed out due to heavy rains that flooded the park. But more rain after July 15 drove the crest of the Desplaines River even higher and water continued to inundate the park last week, scrapping the July 29 planting event. Now the 10,000 plants continue to sit over at the Riverside Department of Public Works facility in Riverside Lawn, awaiting a dry spell that will allow them to be planted. No one is sure exactly when that might be. Everything is at the mercy of Mother Nature. “We’ve got to wait for it to dry out and then assess the situation,” said Riverside Forester Michael Collins. “In the meantime we’re trying to keep the plants going.”

Cathy Maloney, chairwoman of the Riverside Landscape Advisory Commission, said last week that she’d been keeping tabs on the condition of the plants and that they were doing well. “They are sitting in the sun, and seem pretty happy,” Maloney wrote in an email, adding that she’d been in contact with Heidi Natura of Living Habitats, the contractor hired to craft a planting plan. “She cautions on overwatering, and that the main thing is they need sun. “I don’t have a precise shelf life for the plants -- clearly it is undesirable if they get rootbound.” It was Collins’ hope that Living Habitats could be re-mark the area to be planted sometime this week. “My game plan is to monitor the situation and let the contractor know,” Collins said last Friday. “It looks worse than it is.” With the village looking to begin planting when conditions are right, Village President Ben Sells said that officials would probably forgo asking for planting assistance by the

WAITING GAME: Riverside Village Forester Michael Collins looks over the 10,000 plant plugs being stored at the village’s public work facility until Swan Pond Park dries out. public, “because we’re going to need to get it done as soon as we can.” Sells said that while it was too bad the July 15 planting date got washed out, it might have been a blessing as well. If the newly planted plugs had gotten flooded before they were established, they would probably have been washed away.

Boy taking video selfie clipped by train in North Riverside 15-year-old part of group taking pictures on tracks By BOB UPHUES Editor

A 15-year-old Cicero boy suffered a large cut and some bruises but was not badly injured after being struck by a slow-moving freight train reportedly while taking a Snapchat video selfie next to the Canadian National tracks along the north edge of Village Commons Park in North Riverside at about noon on July 30. According to North Riverside police, the boy was part of a group that had walked onto the railroad tracks to take photos. A 30-year-old woman who identified herself as the person taking the photos, according to police, said she noticed the train approaching and got everyone off the tracks. However, the 15-year-old boy reportedly walked onto the stone right

of way next to the tracks and was facing southeast, away from the oncoming train and began to take a video as the train approached. The train conductor and engineer said they observed the party on the tracks and the engineer said he blew the train’s horn multiple times as it got closer to the 15-year-old who was standing just south of the tracks. According to police, the V-shaped cowcatcher on the front of the lead engine apparently clipped the boy, knocking him away from the tracks to the south. The train stopped and remained blocking nearby grade crossings until about 1:10 p.m., when the train was cleared to continue on eastbound. “I think the majority of the injuries where from the fall and not from the impact,” said North Riverside Police Sgt. Daniel Gaede, who responded to the scene. The boy was taken to the hospital by paramedics for treatment of his injuries. North Riverside police referred the incident to Canadian National Railway police.

Former Life Newspapers publisher, Jack R. Kubik, dies Publishing group grew to include 40 suburbs

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Jack R. Kubik, 87, a longtime former resident of Riverside and former owner and publisher of Life Newspapers, died July 26 surrounded by family after a long battle with cancer. A second-generation owner of Life Printing and Publishing, Mr. Kubik fervently believed in community journalism, said his son, Jack L. Kubik, who served in the Illinois House of Representatives. “My dad truly believed local newspapers have a part to play in communities and make communities better,” Kubik said. “He really felt a community was better if there was a strong local paper covering it.” Life Newspapers got its start in the early 1930s when Mr. Kubik’s father, John F. Kubik, and two partners purchased The Suburban Leader and renamed it Suburban Life. As the publication grew, it split into two separate titles – Cicero Life and Berwyn Life --and in 1936 began publishing three times a week. Mr. Kubik joined the Life Newspapers staff in 1952, during another growth spurt that saw the company open offices in LaGrange Park and build a new Berwyn/Cicero Life office at 26th Street and Harlem Avenue.

In 1975, the company pur“His office was next to mine, chased the LaGrange Citizen and so he would often call me in to Graphic Herald Newspapers, exdiscuss matters related to the tending Life’s reach into DuPage newspaper or meet one of the County. many elected officials from the It was during the 1970s that Mr. local, state and national level Kubik hired Judy Baar Topinka who sought his support,” Lifka as a reporter, a watershed mosaid. “He was the boss when he ment for the future state reprehad to be, but he also liked to be sentative, state senator, Illinois ‘one of the guys,’ asking about treasurer and Illinois comptrolour families, cracking jokes and JACK R.

Mr. Kubik was a past president of Suburban Newspapers of America, a board member of the Illinois Press Association, the Cook County Suburban Publishers and the Suburban Press Foundation. He and his wife, Barbara, lived and raised three children in Riverside from 1951 until 1999, when they downsized to a home in Westchester. Dinner conversations, said his son Jack, were filled with discussions of current and historical events. “It sparked an interest in current affairs and government,” said his son, Jack. “I got my interest in government and politics, really, through my dad.” Mr. Kubik is survived by his wife, Barbara Kubik (nee Moravec); his children, Patricia (Clifford) Willis, Jack L.

LOOKING GOOD: Let Hair Go co-owner Ana Velazquez puts the finishing touches on a haircut for Evan Yogya at the new downtown Riverside salon on July 28. Velazquez and her husband, Miguel Salcedo, want the business to appeal to the entire family, from mom and dad to their little ones.

Riverside salon puts the focus on kids But new boutique offers cosmetic fun for the whole family

By JACKIE GLOSNIAK Contributing Reporter

For years, parents have enjoyed putting together photo albums and memory boxes for their children, including all the firsts —baby photos, birthday cards, baby teeth and locks of hair. However, while picture-perfect moments and parties are usually well-received, collecting those toddler locks often prove difficult and stressful. In an effort to make the haircut process more enjoyable and comfortable, husband and wife team Miguel Salcedo and Ana Velazquez decided to open not just a kid-friendly salon, but one inviting for the whole family. First opening its doors in early June, Let Hair Go has brought a full-service, family-oriented salon and spa to downtown Riverside, something neither the village nor immediate neighborhoods offered before. After doing research on various towns in the immediate area, Salcedo and his wife felt Riverside would be the perfect fit for their boutique. “It’s a great opportunity for the families here,” the Berwyn resident said. “We’re trying to create something that [kids] can enjoy and not suffer.” While Salcedo has no cosmetology experience, Velazquez has spent her career as a professional stylist and shared with her husband her desire to create a business that would get kids excited about the importance of grooming and realize the fun they can have in a salon.

“We focus on kids because other salons don’t take kids sometimes or it’s a hard time to get kids to get a haircut,” Salcedo said. “We like to have things, like fun seats, especially for the kids.” From the moment patrons walk into the salon, they are greeted by smiling staff, colorful walls, whimsical decorations, including model car and Minion salon seats, funky light fixtures and lollipops while waiting for services. Along with standard haircuts, including mother/daughter and father/son sessions, Let Hair Go also does simple updos, manicures, pedicures, make-up, waxing and coloring for patrons of all ages. There is even a special room next to the manicure room designated as a party room, something Salcedo hopes will encourage youngsters to want to have parties at their salon. Additionally, the owners and stylists at Let Hair Go speak Spanish, something they are hoping is also a draw for the growing number of Hispanic residents in the area. So far, Salcedo says the reception about the business has been positive. “[Patrons] love it,” he said. “They’re really happy with the business, saying, ‘We’re happy you’re close to us. It’s very cute.’ They tell us everybody is talking about us. I’m happy that people are happy.” Let Hair Go, 23 E. Burlington St., is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. It’s closed Mondays.

RESIGNATIONS President ‘stunned’ from page 1 Skweres, told the Landmark that the village manager bypassed the commission in placing the promotion on the village board agenda without formal approval of the promotion by the commission. A July 5 email sent by Fire Chief Patrick Lenzi to Village Manager Keith Sbiral, Deputy Clerk Theresa Coady and Skweres asked, “When is the soonest village board meeting date that Matt Dubik can be promoted to lieutenant? If possible, I would like to have Matt promoted at the 2nd meeting in July so that we can reduce the possibility of officer overtime occurring on Gold Shift,” Lenzi wrote, noting that Skweres had been copied on the email. Skweres said that email itself indicated that someone had already been picked for promotion before the Fire and Police Commission had made its determination, though Dubik was No. 1 on the lieutenant promotion list and the commission would have picked Dubik had they been asked to convene about the promotion. “It was nothing against Matt,” she said. “He was an innocent victim. He’s an excellent choice.” Skweres said she saw the fire chief ’s email within a day of it being sent, but she said she

didn’t respond to the email, because she was waiting for correspondence from the village manager about the need for the commission to meet to recommend a firefighter for promotion. “It’s very clear how this is supposed to work,” said Skweres. Sbiral, however, said he assumed that in the wake of the chief ’s email and his authorization of the promotion that the commission was working on the promotion. “Once that’s done, they have to fill the position,” Sbiral said. “I thought they’d already talked about it.” The Fire and Police Commission, by statute, operates independently of the village board and largely of village staff. It has its own attorney and its files are off limits to everyone save members of the commission. Village President Kit Ketchmark said he was “stunned” by the resignation of all three commissioners. “Nothing was communicated to me that there was an issue,” Ketchmark said. “This caught me out of the loop.” Ketchmark said that Lenzi’s email was clear in what was being requested and that a commission as independent at the Fire and Police Commission should have known what to do in its wake. “There’s some responsibility [on the commission’s part],” Ketchmark said. “If you want to be independent, there’s a responsibility when there’s an opening to follow through on these things.” Skweres has been a member of the Fire and

Thursday

Police Commission since the 1990s after having served as recording secretary for the commission under the administration of Village President Pierce McCabe in the late 1980s. The Dubik promotion doesn’t appear to have been something that in and of itself would have triggered such a response from commissioners. Rather, the episode was “the climax” for Skweres, who says the commission has felt disrespected for the past decade. “Things have really changed in the last 10 to 12 years,” Skweres said. “It’s little things, like fighting for an office, fighting for access to cabinets. These are the things that shouldn’t happen. “I feel the commission is one of the most active in the village.” When she began on the commission, Skweres said its office was next to the village president’s office. It was later moved to the finance department and then to a cramped “dimly lit” basement office that didn’t have enough room for the commission’s files. The commission has been without an office in the village hall since 2007, and Skweres has done commission work from home, where she’s also kept personnel files. The commission’s file cabinets, she said, are kept in an unsecured vault in the village hall and are difficult to access. Upon her resignation, public works employees reportedly removed 16 or 17 boxes of commission files from Skweres’ home. The other members of the commission were former village trustee and president Alan Dorobiala and former village trustee

Tom Hagle. When contacted by phone late last week, Dorobiala said he told Ketchmark he was resigning because “I’m tired and that’s it. It’s time to sit back and relax.” Asked about the Dubik promotion issue, Dorobiala, who has been on the commission since 2005, declined to comment. Hagle refused comment altogether. At no time, Ketchmark said, did any of the commissioners communicate to him any serious problems. All asked to be reappointed to the commission, and though he’d had interest from others, Ketchmark complied with their wishes. “If there are issues, when it’s time for reappointment, then that’s the time to walk away,” Ketchmark said. The resignations come at a time when there’s a lot on the plate of the Fire and Police Commission. In addition to the fire lieutenant promotion, the commission has to conduct testing for a newly open captain’s position and it has to hire a police officer and a firefighter. The police sergeants’ promotion list also was never signed by all three members of the commission, so that still needs to be done. All of that is on hold until a new commission can be sworn in and get to work. Ketchmark has called a special meeting of the village board on Aug. 3 at 4 p.m. to swear in three new commissioners, who will then have to meet soon after to attend to business. He hopes that Dubik will be sworn in as fire lieutenant at the village board’s next regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 28.

Man loses it over car promotion letter

A 41-year-old Forest Park man faces charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after reportedly becoming angry upon learning that a promotional letter from a North Riverside car dealership was good for $5 and not a new car, as he believed. The man reportedly grabbed an employee at McCarthy Ford, 2100 Harlem Ave., and then shoved him after being told the promotional letter he received entitled him to $5 and not a new Ford Mustang, which he said he’d already picked out in the dealership’s lot. When police arrived, the man reportedly disobeyed officers’ commands and then allegedly took a few swings at an officer trying to detain him. A police officer employed a Taser to subdue the man. The employee declined to pursue battery charges against the man, who was banned from the dealership in addition to being charged with disorderly conduct.

Parolee charged with burglary A 46-year-old South Holland man on parole from state prison for burglary and possessing a stolen vehicle was charged with one count of burglary for allegedly breaking into a Brookfield liquor store at about 4:30 a.m. on July 30. Police arrived at Brook Food and Liquor, 9016 47th St., to find the front glass door broken and a large amount of blood near the entrance. Officers notified area hospitals to report any patients with severe lacerations, and at about 5 a.m. LaGrange Hospital called to report that a man with serious lacerations to his wrist and arm had come into the emergency room. The patient, identified as Delon Brandon, had come to the ER in the company of four others, who left before police arrived. Following surgery, police were able to interview Brandon, who was charged with one count of burglary. At the time of his arrest, Brandon was on parole after serving six years of a 12-year sentence for burglary and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Man arrested after car break-in ■ Ricardo Lopez, 34, of North Riverside was charged with unlawful use of a credit card shortly after the credit card, along with cash and a handgun were stolen from a vehicle parked in the lot at Charter Fitness, 1770 Harlem Ave., on July 25. The victim, a 24-year-old Berwyn man called police at about 8:20 p.m. after finding that the driver’s side door lock had been punched out. While speaking with police, the victim was notified that a stolen credit card had been used at Gamestop at North

Riverside Park Mall. Police took Lopez into custody outside of Foot Locker, where he reportedly attempted to use the credit card again. ■ Riverside police reported three vehicle break-ins during the overnight hours of July 25-26, two of which were caught on surveillance cameras. One of the incidents took place in the first block of Northgate Road, where a security camera caught two people approach an unlocked vehicle parked in a driveway. Once entered and reportedly stole loose change from the center and rifled through the glove box. The offenders left after about a minute and a half, heading away toward Northwood Road. Another incident caught on camera was in the 300 block of East Quincy Street. Three people exited a small SUV and approached a vehicle parked in a driveway. Two of the offenders entered the victim’s vehicle while the third stayed outside as a lookout. Nothing of value was taken from the vehicle. The third incident occurred on Maplewood Road. The victim was awakened by her dogs barking. She went outside to check the vehicles, one of which was unlocked, parked in the driveway and observed the glove box open inside the unlocked vehicle. Nothing of value was reported missing.

Stolen vehicle recovered in Hammond A vehicle stolen from a North Riverside driveway overnight on July 27-28 was recovered on July 29 in Hammond, Indiana, police have reported. A resident of the 8000 block of Country Club Lane called police on the morning of July 28 to report that his car had been stolen. The victim told police the key fob needed to start the car was in the center console. On July 29 at about 6:25 p.m. North Riverside police received word that the vehicle had been recovered by Hammond police following a brief chase that ended when the male driver exited the car and fled police, leaving a female passenger and the car behind. Police say the driver of the stolen vehicle is wanted on a Cook County warrant for possession of a stolen motor vehicle. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, July 2430, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Local retailers fume over drink tax

Court allows tax on soft drinks as of Aug. 2 By THOMAS VOGEL Staff Reporter

A Cook County judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Illinois Retail Merchants Association aimed at stopping a 1-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary beverages. With that action on July 28, the tax will go into effect on Aug. 2, according to a press release from Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. None of this is sitting well with local retailers charged with collecting a complex tax. Joe Salamone, owner of Fair Share Finer Foods on Roosevelt Road in Oak Park, said July 31 he is disappointed by the court’s decision. “It’s not good for business. It’s not practical for the average store to implement.” Salamone said. “It’s gonna drive people to go and shop in the next county.” Salamone said he’s spent about $6,000 on new software and equipment prepping to comply with the tax. “It’s not a sales tax,” Salamone said. “You have to implement it by the ounce. We need to upgrade all our computers.” Mike Nutley, one of the owners of Ed’s Way in Forest Park, was similarly frustrated when reached by phone July 31. “They are just going to shove it down our throats,” Nutley said, referring to the Cook County Board of Commissioners. “I’m flustered with the whole thing. I’ve really become aggravated.” Nutley’s store, which does participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), can register as a “distributor” and avoid paying the tax up front. But that option, which Cook County announced in mid-June, ends after one year, in July 2018. It is unclear what stores like Nutley’s will do after that. Retailers like Nutley had worried about cash flow problems. According to the original text of the ordinance, distributors, like PepsiCo. Inc., would have charged independent grocers, such as Riverside Foods and Tischler’s Finer Foods in Brookfield, for the tax at the “back door” when they delivered shipments, even if

those products are never bought or if they are bought by a SNAP participant. SNAP purchases are exempt from the tax. If a customer uses SNAP to buy a sweetened beverage, the grocer must keep track of each individual product purchase, including the vendor, to request a refund on the beverage tax. The ruling comes about a month after the new tax, passed in November 2016, was to be implemented. That decision is the latest twist in a weeks-long legal battle. The Illinois Retail Merchants Association filed for a temporary restraining order on June 27, arguing the tax violated the Illinois Constitution and was too vague. A Cook County Circuit Court

WILLIAM CAMARGO/Staff Photographer

granted the request on June 30. “We are disappointed with today’s ruling,” Rob Karr, president and CEO of IRMA, said in a press release. “We are exploring all legal options.” Meanwhile, Preckwinkle said retailers should have been prepared for the tax, which passed in November 2016. However, a statement issued by the county board president in the wake of the ruling didn’t not acknowledge the multiple clarifications the county has issued since its passage. “We believed all along that our ordinance was carefully drafted and met pertinent constitutional tests,” Preckwinkle said in a press release. “The delay in implementing the tax caused by the merchants’ lawsuit forced us to put into motion cost-saving measures to cope with this revenue loss, which currently is at least $17 million. “Until we are able to fully implement and collect revenues from this tax, we will continue to review our financial position and make adjustments accordingly.

VIDEO GAMBLING Topic revived from page 1 Sept. 14, said Kristine Herbst, chairwoman of the commission. “The EDC will put this topic on its next agenda as requested by the board in order for us to make a recommendation,” Herbst wrote in an email. The request for a new look at video gambling came from Brian Carroll, the owner of Mollie’s Public House in downtown Riverside. Carroll was one of two business owners who in 2015 expressed interest in installing video gambling machines. “I’d like to maybe revisit that issue and come to a vote,” Carroll said during an appearance before the village board on July 20. Although the Economic Development Commission and Chamber of Commerce jointly hosted a panel discussion on video gambling, which featured advocates from both sides of the issue, the commission never offered an opinion on whether video gambling ought to be allowed in Riverside. The Riverside Chamber of Commerce also never took a formal position on the matter. Sells suggested getting recommendations from both of those groups prior to the matter coming back to the village board Carroll did not respond to several calls from the Landmark seeking more informa-

tion about his decision to bring the issue forward at this time. In 2015, he said he wanted to place the machines in a room separate from the main dining room of his business, so his business could benefit from the machines and not affect the atmosphere of the pub. “I don’t want it in my front room at all,” Carroll told trustees in October 2015. Scott Zimmer, owner of The Chew Chew in downtown Riverside, also supported allowing video gambling back in 2015. He confronted opponents during a village board meeting in November 2015, arguing that prohibiting video gambling hurt local restaurants. More than a dozen video gambling opponents spoke passionately against allowing it in Riverside during that same meeting and more than 200 people had signed an online petition against it. In the wake of that 2015 meeting, the village board quietly stepped back from the issue and no more discussion followed in the wake of the March 2016 panel discussion. Although Carroll approached the board about the subject of video gambling last month, Zimmer has not, Sells said. In a separate interview, Sells said that he initially gave weight to the argument that allowing video gambling would allow Riverside restaurants to compete on a level field

with bars and restaurants in neighboring towns where gambling is allowed. Now, Sells said, he’d need to hear a convincing argument to favor video gambling in Riverside, citing the opening of La Barra and Sawmilly in the past year. “[That argument] is going to be harder to make with the success of Sawmilly and La Barra,” Sells said. “I think there would have to be a pretty compelling case made to me.” While Riverside has resisted the pull of video gambling, both Brookfield and especially North Riverside have embraced it. Since June 2013, Brookfield village government’s share of gross gaming revenues has totaled almost $620,000, while North Riverside’s village government has netted a little more than $460,000 in that time. But while Brookfield has held fast against

gambling parlors – storefronts featuring five gambling machines and limited alcohol and food service – North Riverside has welcomed them – and their revenue. North Riverside has four such gambling parlors – Betty’s, Anna’s, Lacey’s and Spins – and two more are in the pipeline. Between June 2016 and May 2017, three of the top four video gambling moneymakers in North Riverside were gambling parlors, according to data compiled by the Illinois Gaming Board. And during that 12-month period, North Riverside for the first time eclipsed Brookfield in revenue culled from video gambling receipts. And their machines outperformed Brookfield’s as well. From June 2016 to May 2017, 53 machines in 11 establishments in North Riverside provided the village with $179,299 in revenue. During that same time period in Brookfield, 71 machines in 15 establishments resulted in $158,483 in revenue for the village. The machines are also lucrative for the establishments. The top non-gaming parlor establishment in North Riverside, Bar-Tini Lounge on Desplaines Avenue, collected $159,432 in revenue from video gambling from June 2016 through June 2017. The top establishment in Brookfield during that time period, Cordial Inn, collected $187,455.

Opinion THE LANDMARK VIEW

Notable losses

ast week, Dr. George Rabb and Jack R. Kubik died, a day apart and at the same age. Both had powerful ties to the communities served by the Landmark, but their influence was felt far beyond. Dr. Rabb transformed Brookfield Zoo into a world leader for conservation education and cutting-edge animal care. His influence wasn’t just felt at Brookfield Zoo, which draws millions to its gates annually. He was a national and international presence, spreading the gospel of conservation and the pursuit of scientific scholarship. Through it all, he never left Brookfield, always living near the institution that he shaped and which shaped him. The zoo he joined back in 1956 was of the era that preceded him, still rooted in the 1930s. As he ascended to the directorship in 1976, Dr. Rabb transformed the way animals were presented to the public, in new immersive exhibits that sought to connect visitors with the animals in a way that reflected the role humans play in species survival. He left the directorship in 2004 with the zoo light years from the institution he knew as a Ph.D. fresh out of the University of Michigan. Mr. Kubik’s influence may not have been international, but his impact on the lives of people in suburban Chicago for more than 40 years was profound. Life Newspapers, initially a Berwyn-Cicero institution expanded its influence under Mr. Kubik’s direction to include dozens of suburban communities. But in Cook County particularly – Berwyn, Cicero, Riverside, Brookfield, LaGrange Park, LaGrange – The Life was the local paper, published two or three times a week depending on which town you lived in. Its staff tended to be “lifers,” so to speak, with tenures lasting many years. That stability allowed the paper to resonate with readers, who grew to know the staff through their weekly interactions in print. Kubik and his partners sold the newspaper chain in 1999. The difference between the family-owned and operated newspaper and the corporate ownership that has followed is stark. A couple of years ago, the present ownership made the rather momentous decision, at least for many of its Cook County titles – including Riverside and Brookfield – to do away with staff reporters. Fortunately for those who live in Riverside, Brookfield and North Riverside there was an alternative. But in many of the towns The Life formerly covered faithfully in the Cook County suburbs, there is nothing to fill the vacuum. It’s a tough time for the newspaper business; it has been tough for the past 15 years. Mr. Kubik knew that. But he also knew the value, the critical role local journalism plays in the life of a community. Mr. Kubik made that kind of impact for decades in these towns, and for that we’ll always be thankful.

KOSEY CORNER

Mea culpa and many thanks

id you miss me last week? Slight glitch, not quite sure what it was, but that was only the third column I have missed in 19 years of writing for the Landmark. So here we are, I will try again. “When I am sorry, I say I am sorry.” Yes that is a line from my favorite movie, Dirty Dancing. A few weeks ago, I wrote a letter to the editor on behalf of the Friends of the Fourth thanking the many who had helped make Riverside’s Independence Day celebration great. Seems when writing of the Riverside Recreation Department, I referred to the wrong person, who is not even with department any longer, and so I apologize to Program Director Anne Hanrahan. Anne is an important part of the July 3-4 celebration before, during and after the events. Her calm manner keeps those of us on the committee on task and is always available to answer any questions. Most times she is a step ahead of us. You will see her on July 3 at the concert, on July 4 at the race, during the parade and after to help clean up and she never looks tired. So if you meet Anne, tell her thanks for being such an asset to Riverside. Good hire,

Ron. Again I apologize; let’s do lunch. July 4 trivia: How many times on the morning of July 4 could Joe Ballerine be seen on Longcommon Road performing some official task? So, this happened: While I’m thanking people, a big thank you to the police and fire departments who responded to our house on July 18 when I passed out. Don’t remember a thing, but they got me where I needed to be in a timely manner. Was the siren on? I remained at MacNeal for a four-day stay where it was determined my blood sugar had gone dangerously low, and I’m not even diabetic. I’m doing better. Thanks to all involved, particularly Riverside Fire Department, you’re the best. Another reason to be Riverside proud! Thank goodness Aunt Diana’s has reopened, so I can get my sugar level up. Buy the book: If you missed Riverside Village President Ben Sells’ recent discussion of his book The Tunnel Under the Lake, be sure to get a copy and read about this fascinating chapter in the history of Chicago. I would suspect the library has a copy, but you can purchase your own. Sells explanation was very clear and I walked away feeling that if there had been a quiz, I would not have done badly.

@OakPark

These proven winners headline the upcoming Landmark sports year By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

With the high school sports year approaching, several compelling storylines will naturally emerge regarding the success of local teams, players and coaches. Assuredly, there will be fresh faces of burgeoning stars that adorn the Riverside-Brookfield Landmark sports section. Along with the new sensations, however, let’s not forget these five proven winners who will play prominent roles in the 2017-18 local high school sports narrative.

Jacob Kaminski, Fenwick sophomore, wrestling/football Kaminski, from Riverside, excelled in two sports as a freshman at Fenwick. He went 22-2 and earned fourth in the state at 195 pounds at the IHSA Class 2A individual wrestling state tourney in Champaign. On the gridiron, he also wreaked havoc as a hybrid linebacker/defensive lineman with 7.5 sacks and 35 tackles (including 5 for loss) in 13 games for the Friars (11-2, Class 7A state semifinalist). Kaminski’s first endeavor in sports was actually swimming, a talent that runs in the family. His older sister, Paulina, JACOB KAMINSKI won the 100-yard breaststroke (1 minute, 2.40 seconds) and took second in the 200yard individual medley (2:03.67) as a senior at Fenwick during the 2013 IHSA state meet. When she was a sophomore in 2011, she claimed the 100-yard breaststroke state title by touching the wall at 1:03.96. Although he’s a gifted and highly touted athlete, Kaminski has remained grounded. “I’m really not paying much attention to it,” Kaminski said regarding the hype about his athletic ability. “It’s always good to know I’m a topic of conversation, but it really comes down to hard work and dedication. “Even if I’m regarded as one of the best, it doesn’t change much. I still have to go against the guy in front of me in either football or wrestling and get it done.”

George Cervanka, RBHS senior, track Cervanka starred at the Lyons Township Sectional by winning the 200-meter dash in 22.20 seconds and placing second in the 100 with an 11.04, trailing only LTHS runner Antwane Thigpen. Cervanka led the Bulldogs to their fifth straight Metro Suburban Conference outdoor championship with four first-place finishes. He won the 100-meter dash in 10.82 seconds and the 200 in 22.55. Cervanka also ran a leg on the Bulldogs’ winning 400 and 800 relay teams at the conference meet.

FLEET FEET: George Cervanka placed first in four events at the Metro Suburban Conference meet in 2017, leading RBHS to its fifth straight conference title. He’ll lead the Bulldogs again next spring as they seek to dominate the conference again. Sixteen athletes from RBHS, including several in multiple events, earned all-conference recognition. RBHS took second at its own Bulldog Relays and Carlin Nalley Invite as well. “We really dominated on the oval,” RBHS coach Tim Olson said. “We won nine firsts out of 12 races. It was a balanced effort as the 31 all-conference performances demonstrates.” While the Bulldogs return several talented athletes this year, Cervanka will be at center of attention based on his impressive results last season.
