County has deals on 16 Riverside Lawn parcels Neighborhood-wide garage sale slated for Aug. 27 By BOB UPHUES Editor
place was kind of a wreck. “The sidewalks (tar concrete) have quite generally failed,” wrote Louis Y. Schermerhorn in a letter to Riverside’s designer, Frederick Law Olmsted, on April 13, 1877. The statement comes from a four-page handwritten letter by the man who was hired as chief engineer to implement the Riverside Improvement Company’s general plan of the village. Schermerhorn previously worked alongside Olmsted on the
The exodus from Riverside Lawn has begun, according to the top official at the Cook County Land Bank. Rob Rose, executive director of the land bank, which proposed a buyout of the flood-prone unincorporated area of Riverside Township last year, said they have already closed on one home and have deals to buy 15 more properties. “I suspect that once we get through this first wave, others who are on the fence will start to respond to us in terms of being able to move forward,” Rose said in a telephone interview on Aug. 8. Rose said some of the 15 properties the county has contracted to buy will close within 30 days, though some of the owners have requested extensions because they are still looking for new homes. Offers landed in the mailboxes of Riverside Lawn property owners in late June. While they were given 30 days to make a decision to accept the offers, many owners asked for another 30 days to think it over, Rose said. According to Rose, there are 18 properties – both homes and vacant lots -- whose owners have not yet committed to the buyout. But the land bank is willing to wait. There are a dozen properties whose owners have never responded to the county in any fashion, said Rose.

If the Riverside Elementary School District 96 Board of Education ever gets the urge to expand the footprint of Ames School there’s now an option to do so. On Aug. 2, the Riverside Elementary School District 96 voted 6 to 0 to buy the house directly east of Ames School for $343,822.18. The house at 92 Repton Road is unoccupied and has been in foreclosure proceedings since 2013. After closing on the deal the school district has plans to demolish the home. A facilities committee consisting of district staff and community members will be formed to study how to use the new property. An addition to Ames School, 86 Southcote Road, is one possibility, as is an expanded playground or some combination of the two uses. The backyard of the nearly 17,000-squarefoot lot is directly east of the small Ames School playground. Ames students also often play on the asphalt parking lot west of the school building. Space has long been an issue at Ames, and the addition of nearly half an acre of space will give the district options. The school building has 17 regular classrooms, which is at least one less than what administrators would like. Ames ideally would have the capacity for

Some students who live in the Ames attendance area are forced to attend other District 96 schools because of space reasons. “The addition of this property to the Ames School campus will allow for greater educational and recreational opportunities for students,” said District 96 school board President Jeff Miller, reading from a statement after the vote to approve the purchase. “The purchase of this property will allow the district to address space constraints at Ames, with potential effects district-wide.
The board will be conducting an in depth analysis of the space and facility needs throughout the district.” Community members who would like to serve of the facility committee are encouraged to contact Superintendent Martha Ryan-Toye by email (ryan-toyem@district96. org) or phone (708-447-5007). Miller said that the house becoming available was a tremendous opportunity. “If you had to choose one lot in the entire district to buy, it would be that one,” Miller said.

State labor board rules on North Riverside firefighter issue Matter still pending in appellate court, arbitration
By BOB UPHUES Editor
The Illinois Labor Relations Board last month ruled that the village had not engaged in surface bargaining with union firefighters before declaring an impasse, filing a lawsuit arguing the village had the right to void its union contract and issuing termination letters to all union firefighters in late 2014. However, the labor board in a 4 to 1 vote on July 12 also ruled that the village had no right to unilaterally terminate its collectively bargained contract with firefighters. “For us to decide the contract be terminated … brings us dangerously close to modifying the [Illinois Public Labor Relations Act], and that’s not our role,” said John Hartnett, chairman of the Illinois Labor Relations Board during the July 12 hearing in Springfield. “Our role is to interpret the act.” Still, it was clear that there was some sympathy for the village’s position that it
IN THIS ISSUE
was acting as a result of precarious financial circumstances. “When the employer is faced with a critical financial challenge, the village asks how it truly terminates a contract and a bargaining relationship that involved protected service employees so as to be able to pursue more cost-effective options for delivery of such services,” said Kathryn ZeldonNelson, attorney for the labor board. Was the only alternative, Zeldon-Nelson wondered going through arbitration and “trusting the interest arbitrator to take cognizance of [the village’s] financial constraints”? Just what it all means in terms of firefighters and the village coming to terms on a new contract is unclear, because not all of the loose ends remaining from the initial push to privatize firefighting services in the summer of 2014 have been tied up. Both sides still await word from the Illinois Court of Appeals regarding Cook County Circuit Court Judge Diane Larsen’s October 2015 ruling that she didn’t have ju-
risdiction over the matter. Also pending is contract arbitration that was demanded by the union and held in abeyance by the arbitrator until the circuit court case was disposed. J. Dale Berry, the attorney for North Riverside Firefighters Local 2714, said he didn’t expect the appellate court to rule “for several months.” But North Riverside Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. said he expected some sort of movement on the firefighter situation soon. “I expect a decision quickly,” Hermanek said. “It’s not going to be stagnant.” Hermanek called the labor board’s decision that the village had not engaged in surface bargaining a “major victory” for the village. Berry, however, said the labor board upheld the crux of the union’s argument – that the village could not unilaterally terminate the union contract or change the employment status of the firefighters. “If he thinks that’s a major victory for the village, I’ll take the loss then,” Berry said.

District 103 board bumps HR director to part time Interim maintenance director made permanent hire
By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
Marty Stack, the human resources director for Lyons-Brookfield School District 103, has been reduced to part-time status now that he is running for county office. Hired by District 103 late last year for the new position of human resources director, Stack was given a one-year contract on Aug. 4, calling on him to work 20 hours a week. Stack is the Democratic candidate for the 1st District seat on the three-member Cook County Board of Review, the body that hears property tax appeals. Stack, who had been making $75,000 as a full-timer, will be paid $40,000 annually plus benefits for his 20 hours a week of work
for the school district. Stack’s position was made part time because of the demands of running for office. “It’s public information now that he’s running for office, and there’s obviously some other responsibilities that he has in doing that and we didn’t want there to be any question about if he was doing other things during the day,” said District 103 Superintendent Carol Baker, who presided over her first school board meeting last week. “We didn’t want any question in the community that he was doing that on school district time, so we wanted to make his status part time officially.” The school board voted 4 to 1 to give Stack a one-year contract as a part-time employee, with former school board president Sharon
Anderson casting the lone no vote. Board member Joanne Schaeffer missed the meeting for health reasons. “I still don’t think we need an HR director,” Anderson said. “It was a new position that was created for Marty.” Anderson also questioned giving fringe benefits to a part-time employee. “I know at my job I don’t get benefits for part time,” Anderson said. In other action at last week’s meeting, the school board voted 5 to 0 take the interim tag off Maintenance Director Ryan Grace, who was given a one-year, $80,000 contract. He had been paid a salary equal to $75,000 a year since he was hired in April to replace the district’s longtime Maintenance Director Thomas Sheehy, whose contract was not
renewed in March. “I and the department worked hard to prove ourselves, and I’m glad it was recognized and they’re giving me the opportunity for the next year,” Grace said. Grace had previously worked as the deputy director for public works for the village of Lyons and is a former member of the Lyons Village Board. He ran for the village board as part of a slate for the United Citizens Party which is aligned with Lyons Village President Christopher Getty. Grace is also a former chairman of the United Citizens Party. Since 2012 Grace has contributed $950 to the United Citizens Party and donated another $750 to Getty’s campaign committee, Citizens for Christopher Getty.
Local Republicans sound off on party’s Trump troubles Some GOP stalwarts find it tough to get behind nominee
By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
After growing up as Democrat, Chris Robling became a Republican 40 years ago when he was a college student. The Riverside resident has been active in Republican politics ever since, serving as the press secretary for a Republican congressman in the 1980s and managing a Republican mayoral campaign in Chicago in 1987. But this year Robling says it is difficult for him to support Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president. Robling won’t even commit to voting for Donald Trump. “That’s an open question right now,” Robling said when asked if he would vote for Trump. “I don’t know how I can support a candidate who is insulting everybody all the time.”

Robling said that he is very disappointed with the Trump campaign thus far. “I’m very disappointed with his activity since the convention,” Robling said. “Unfortunately, this tends to confirm the worst expectations, which we hoped to avoid.” A public relations specialist, serves as a political commentator for WGN-TV where he is charged with presenting the Republican point of view. That’s never been harder in a presidential campaign than it is now, he says. “This is far more of a challenge that I have faced since becoming a Republican in July of 1976,” Robling said. Robling didn’t endorse any presidential candidate in the primary. “I was never a Trump person and I always had pretty serious reservations and questions about Trump which, as I say, are unfortunately proving somewhat prophetic,” Robling said. However, Trump supporter Eric Sawchuk, who serves as the vice president of the board of the Proviso Township Mental Health Commission and is former member of the Brookfield Village Board, says that he thinks Trump just had a bad patch and will soon get back on course. “The last couple weeks have been somewhat of a minor setback, since the Democratic Convention,” said Sawchuk, who was elected as Trump delegate to the Republican convention. “Going forward I believe that he will fare very well once he gets the message out and stays on the course and focuses on Secretary Clinton and focuses on his platform.” Mike Dropka, the head of the Riverside Republican Township Organization is now

5-year deal for North Riverside cops
New contract hammered out in three months By BOB UPHUES Editor
When the village of North Riverside and its police officers last inked a union contract, negotiations had dragged on for more than a year and the deal was for three years, ending April 30, 2016. On Aug. 1, the village’s board of trustees voted unanimously on a new deal already approved by the union – an unprecedented five-year contract that took all of three months – and a total of about 6 hours during three meetings -- to hammer out. The contract expires April 30, 2021. Union negotiators said the process went smoothly, because neither side came in with any hard lines. “We believe this particular contract negotiation went smoothly because both sides came in with open minds,” said Sgt. Christopher Boenzi, a member of the union negotiating team, in response to questions emailed to both him and union president, Officer Mike Eck. “We were both very reasonable with the requests during this contract and both had reasonable expectations.” Police Chief Lane Niemann said an across-the-board change in philosophy regarding employee salary and benefits played a large part in the ease of negotiations. The goal is to make sure things like base pay raises, vacation times, personal days and insurance coverage are identical for all employees, union and non-union, he said. “Part of the difference is the management philosophy in North Riverside, where we want everyone to have the same [benefits],” Niemann said. “There’s more uniformity around the entire village.” Niemann expressed some measure of relief that the process was so smooth this time around. Since he was named deputy police chief in 2009, Niemann said, “It feels like I’ve been negotiating a lot of contracts.” “It was a fair deal for all parties involved,” added Niemann, who before his promotion to management had negotiated on the union side for about 15 years. All previous contracts were for three years, he said. The contract calls for base salary raises of 2.5 percent each year, though step raises during an officer’s first seven years on the job accelerate raises significantly. It also moves any employee hired after July 1, 2016 off of the present health insurance plan and onto the plan approved by the village board earlier this year for non-union employees and which was agreed to in a
recent five-year contract negotiated with police dispatchers. The new health plan includes both HMO and PPO options, but both plans will cost the village less than the one previously offered to their employees. Police officers will also see their share of health insurance premiums rise. Under the old contract, officers’ health insurance premium contributions were capped at 12.5 percent. By 2019, the officers’ contribution toward health insurance premiums will be 15 percent, where it will remain through the end of the deal. The contract also establishes a flexible health spending program where employees can contribute an amount of pre-tax wages to pay medical bills. “We believe the new health insurance plans are still very good and feel confident they will provide proper care/coverage for future police department employees,” Boenzi said. Another new clause in the contract specifies that the village will reimburse officers who complete classes in Spanish language and sign language fluency. While the contract already called for reimbursement for classes related to law enforcement, both sides agreed adding the language provision was a good idea. “Obviously, we feel we have a need to it here,” said Niemann. “It’s always an asset. We have several Spanish-speaking officers, but it’s always good to have more.” According to the new salary schedule, a police officer hired May 1, 2016 would make $56,159. That same officer by the end of the contract, by virtue of step raises in each of the following four years, would be making $92,984 annually, an overall increase of 65.5 percent. Officers receive annual step raises during the first five years and in the seventh year of their careers in North Riverside. After that, they don’t see another step increase until they put in 20 and 25 years on the force. The top salary for a patrolman who has worked 25 years, according to the contract, would be $107,065. A sergeant’s pay is 10-percent greater than a patrolman with the same service time. Salary for a sergeant with 25 years’ experience at the end of the new contract would be $118,086. According to a seniority list included as an appendix to the contract, there are just two officers with 25 years’ experience and two with at least 20 years’ experience on the force. Eight officers have between nine and 15 years’ experience and nine have between two and seven years under their belts.

Changes afoot for North Riverside building department Byrne leaving as de facto department head on Sept. 1
By BOB UPHUES Editor
Karyn Byrne, who has served as the de facto head of the North Riverside Building Department since 2010, has announced she’s leaving the post effective Sept. 1. Byrne, who is a contract employee, had served as a blight inspector on a contract basis prior to 2010. When Dave Skurkis, the former longtime head of the building department retired that year, officials were looking to cut long-term liabilities, such as pension obligations. Prior to forming her own company, Code Enforcement Representatives Inc., in 2000, Byrne worked for about a decade for the village of Downers Grove. In addition to winning an inspection contract with North Riverside, Byrne also worked for several years with Riverside. She continues to provide code enforcement services
to Woodridge, Western Springs and Willowbrook. After Skurkis retired, the village approached Byrne about expanding her role in North Riverside and working 20 hours a week as the building department administrator. She supervises two other parttime employees, Michelle Cozzone, who has worked for the department for many years, and Ken Rouleau, the former fire chief who works as a fire inspector for the department. In her new role, Byrne was no longer simply handling code enforcement, though there was plenty of that to do with a surge of foreclosures following the 2008 real estate crash. She became fully involved in the planning and review process during a time in which the village saw a boom in commercial development, including the arrival of Costco and development of outlots adja-
cent to that business. Byrne was also involved in the planning and review process for new commercial development at the North Riverside Plaza shopping center, the North Riverside Park Mall and a new care facility at the Scottish Home. “I learned a lot about plan commission and zoning board of appeals hearings,” Byrne said. “I knew enforcement, but I learned a lot about the plan end of it.” But with construction underway at the fourth and final Costco outlot and the majority of the major development completed, Byrne said it was a good time to step away from the North Riverside job. “With the 20 hours here, it was hard to keep up with my other work flow,” Byrne said. As for how the village will replace Byrne, Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. said that he’s leaning toward an arrangement that won’t
require hiring a new person in a lead role. “At this point I’d like to be able to keep it in house and expand the tasks of the people we have here,” Hermanek said. “I believe it can be accomplished without hiring a new face.” That means expanded duties for both Cozzone and Rouleau, though there are limits on the amount of time Rouleau can put in without jeopardizing his firefighter’s pension. “They’ve been a good team,” Hermanek said. “I’m hoping the transition will be seamless.” Meanwhile, Byrne said she’d remain open to working with the village on a more limited basis as a contract inspector. Hermanek said he was open to that offer. “She’s amenable to whatever services she can provide,” he said. “It’s great she’s still willing to be here and help us out as needed.”

T
he list contains 63 names, along with the names of two couples and one civic organization. The distinguished list I am referring to is none other than the roster of those who have been named Riverside Person of the Year. The two couples are Lloyd and Dorothy Unger in 1994 and Lew and Martha Heine in1999; the organization was the Riverside Junior Woman’s Charity in 2005. Brothers Donald and Robert Falconer received the award separately and the first woman recognized was Kay Snyder. Originally an award bestowed jointly by the Riverside Chamber of Commerce and the Riverside Township Lions Club, the Person of the Year was meant to honor those who have given over and above to the village of Riverside. Until 1990, the honorees were exclusively men, many of whom were members of the business community. The event was called Riverside Day and included a golf outing. Things have changed over the years. The golf is no longer part of the day, and the event is run exclusively by the Lions club. Nominees for the award are solicited from organizations and anyone wishing to submit a name to the Lions Club. Looking over the list there are many recognizable names, many of whom are no longer with us. Not all honorees are residents of Riverside, but were known for their contributions to the community, some in the field of education, such as Butch Berwanger. Someday it might be interesting to compile a short bio on all the honorees -- notice I said someday. This year the name of Jennifer White will be added to the list. Jenny is a lifelong Riverside resident and, like so many others, has given of her time generously. As with most of those who are honored, when informed are quite humble and reticent to accept because they don’t do what they do for recognition. Jenny was no exception and needed to be convinced she indeed was worthy of having her name added to the list. . This year the dinner honoring Jenny will be held at the Riverside Golf Club on Wednesday, Aug. 31. Cocktails (cash bar) will be at 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $45 and are available at the Riverside Public Library, Riverside Bank and Aunt Diana’s Fudge Shop. No tickets will be sold at the door. Reservations are requested by Aug. 25. For further information call 44-5219.

A 19-year-old Brookfield man was warned about illegally firing an air rifle within village limits after a stray BB ricocheted off a table outside Bill’s Place, 1146 N. Maple Ave. in LaGrange Park, and struck a 43-year-old Texas man in the leg. The man wasn’t injured, but he pointed out that the BB came from a property across the street in the 3000 block of Maple Avenue in Brookfield. A subject at the property told police he’d been shooting targets in his backyard but stopped when he realized BBs were ricocheting across the street. Police informed the man it was illegal to shoot an air rifle anywhere in the village and warned him that any further incidents would result in a citation. ■ In other BB gun-related incidents in Brookfield last week, a resident of the 9500 block of Monroe Avenue reported on Aug. 2 that the driver’s side door of his 2013 Honda, which was parked in the driveway, sustained five BB holes during the overnight hours. That same night, according to police, a projectile shattered the glass rear door of a residence in the 3500 block of Prairie Avenue. A resident of the 3400 block of Vernon Avenue also reported that his home’s glass front door was shattered by an unknown projectile about 5:15 a.m. on Aug. 7.

Car break-ins ■ Someone
rifled through at least six vehicles parked in driveways and on the street along the 4500 block of Madison Avenue, Brookfield, during the overnight hours of Aug. 6 and 7, according to police. In each instance, the vehicles were unlocked and the offender rifled through the glove boxes and center consoles looking for loose change and cash, which was reported missing from several of the vehicles involved. ■ A resident of the 3100 block of Madison Avenue, Brookfield, contacted police on the morning of Aug. 1 after reviewing surveillance camera footage taken about an hour earlier, which showed someone dumping items into a trash can outside a neighbor’s garage. When the resident went to check on the items, he determined they had come from his wife’s vehicle, which was parked nearby. The resident told police his wife’s vehicle had been unlocked and that nothing of value appeared to have been taken from the car. He also told police that no entry had been made to his vehicle, which was also parked outside, because it was locked. ■ A 38-year-old Brookfield man reported
that someone apparently tried to steal his car, which he parked overnight in the 3700 block of Grand Boulevard on Aug. 5. First, the victim noticed his car was damaged. The car had scratches all over it, the driver’s side mirror was broken off, and the front passenger window trim had been broken. The vehicle’s steering column also had been stripped and $2 in loose change was missing from the center console.
Garage burglaries ■ A resident of the 4600 block of DuBois Boulevard, Brookfield, called police on Aug. 1 to report that someone had taken a 41-inch Philips LED TV and a large black microwave oven from a garage. The victim told police the items were being stored in the garage temporarily and that the burglary took place sometime after July 27. Police noted the garage was unlocked during that time. ■ Brookfield police responded to the 3200 block of Elm Avenue on Aug. 3 after a resident called to report a bicycle stolen from her garage. The victim told police that at 5:30 p.m. she noticed the overhead door to the garage open. When she looked inside, her yellow and black Trek bicycle, valued at $400, was missing. Two other bicycles were not taken and no other items appeared to be missing from the garage. Police did not report any signs of forced entry to the garage.
DUI North Riverside police charged a 23-yearold Summit man with driving under the influence of alcohol after an officer reported the man driving a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer at 72 mph while eastbound on 26th Street from Desplaines Avenue on Aug. 5 about 2:55 a.m. After the officer stopped the vehicle, he reported that the driver appeared to be intoxicated and the driver told him he’d just come from a bar on Desplaines Avenue and had been at a bar in Forest Park prior to that. The driver reportedly failed field sobriety tests but refused a breath test. In addition to DUI, police cited him for speeding, reckless driving and other traffic offenses. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Aug. 1-7, 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.

BUYOUTS
‘A lot of sadness’ from page 1 They haven’t returned phone calls, responded to letters or showed up to any of the community meetings held in the past year. Rose said those dozen properties have been marked down as “no sale.” Diane Gryglak, who has lived in a brick bungalow on Stanley Avenue in Riverside Lawn for three decades, confirmed her family will be leaving the neighborhood. They’re still looking for a new home, so
there’s no closing date yet, but the stress of not knowing what the future held is at least over. “The hardest part was that there was so much uncertainty for almost a year,” Gryglak said. “That period of time was pretty awful. Now that we know, we can make arrangements and look to move forward.” It’s unclear exactly which property owners have deals with the county, but it appears that many of the longtime residents, including those who live in the oldest homes in the neighborhood, are going. Gryglak said Riverside Lawn residents are getting ready to leave by hosting a neighborhood-wide garage sale on Saturday, Aug. 27. They’re also planning a neigh-
borhood farewell party for a later date. “There’ll be a lot of sadness for the neighborhood and about our homes,” Gryglak said. The one home that the county has already purchased, according to Rose, is at 7900 39th St. That was one of the homes that did not require the second appraisal required by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, which is partnering with the land bank on the buyout and secured $12 million in federal funds to purchase the properties. There is no information on a sale price for that property, because the sale has yet to be recorded by the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

92 REPTON ROAD Home in foreclosure from page 3 Miller noted that the district has saved money recently on construction costs, particularly its solution to update the steel windows at Blythe Park School, which saved the district about $1 million. “We’ve saved a lot of money over the last couple of years and now we have an opportunity to invest,” Miller said. The district will pay cash for the house. District 96 currently has cash reserves of about $25.5 million, according to David Sellers, the school district’s interim director of finance and operations. For the 2016-17 school year, Ames will have three sections of every grade except for first grade, which will have two sections. In the past, there had been talk of turning the art room into a regular classroom, Ames but that option was rejected because the Ames art room has a kiln and “art on a cart” was thought to provide a lesser educational experience. Enrollment at Ames in 2015-15 was 366 students. About 10 kindergarteners in the Ames attendance areas were sent to other schools last year, some by their parents’ own choice. “I think ideally, in my mind, Ames should probably be a three-section school, but that can never be accomplished without having one additional classroom,” said Ames Principal Todd Gierman. For the past two years, music classes at Ames have been held in the multipurpose room, which also serves as a lunchroom. Gifted classes for fifthgraders are taught in the Ames library. The agreed upon $343,822.18 purchase price of the house was determined by the amount required to pay off the balance of the mortgage. The home itself is approximately 1,700 square feet. The house, which is owned by Jeffrey Mitzman, was declared uninhabitable on May 10 by the Riverside Water Department when the water was shut off. Miller said that the property initially was appraised at $375,000 or $380,000 based on viewing the exterior of the house. District 96 officials then asked the appraiser to examine the inside of the house. After doing so, appraisal came back at $330,000. The difference between the appraisal and the purchase price was what was required to pay off the mortgage and get the deal done. The deal is expected to close in early September. Board members say they want to demolish the house as soon as possible. Then the district committee will examine how to best use the newly available space.

Opinion THE LANDMARK VIEW
Room to move
The Riverside School District 96 Board of Education really has been in the mood to buy property lately. Still hoping to convince the Hollywood Citizens Association to sell the district land for a playground next to Hollywood School in Brookfield, the District 96 board acted recently to ink a contract to buy a home on Repton Road in Riverside next door to Ames School. Riverside’s schools, with the exception of the Central/Hauser campus, are notoriously landlocked with almost no room to expand should the necessity arise. Ames School, in particular, has been a school that has struggled to meet the demands of enrollment from its neighborhood boundaries, which include the North Riverside portion of Riverside Township. Essentially, the school is one classroom short of being able to host three sections of each grade. Officials could do it, but it would come at the expense of other programs, such as art instruction. By gaining a sizeable lot directly east of the old school building, Ames has room to expand in order to meet its enrollment demands. Should the school board decide that future enrollment trends don’t warrant expansion, the Repton Road property could be converted into a playground area of some sort. Right now, Ames has a small playground area, with recess often taking place on the asphalt parking lot behind the school. The school district also has the good fortune of buying a home whose next-door neighbor is a longtime local teacher who supports the move. The timing for this land purchase is right, and the district has the reserve funds to make such a capital investment.
Waiting for the other shoe The latest round in the tussle between the village of North Riverside and its union firefighters was something of a split decision, but it still doesn’t look like it’s going to alter the final outcome of what is now a two-year long battle to privatize the fire department. The Illinois Labor Relations Board ruled last month that the village wasn’t guilty of surface bargaining – that is, making a charade of negotiating while never intending to come to an agreement. But the board did rule that the village wrongly interpreted well-worn Illinois labor law by asserting it had a right to unilaterally terminate the contract of union employees who are not allowed, by law, to strike or be locked out. The board also ruled the village wrongly gave union firefighters termination notices, even if the village didn’t follow through on those firings until the case had made its way all the way through the courts. Two years later, we’re back at square one, waiting for the Illinois Court of Appeals to rule on a circuit judge’s ruling she didn’t have jurisdiction over the case. It’s been our view all along that the appellate court is going to uphold that ruling and the matter will be sent to arbitration – where it should have gone in the first place. In the meantime, the village has spent a lot of time and money litigating this matter. And while heat generated on both sides now seems to have cooled somewhat as the final act plays out, the village really overreached on this one.

LETTERS
Bar for variations wasn’t lowered
North Riverside did July 4 right
I’d like to offer the following clarification on the article “Riverside lowers hurdle for zoning variations” (News, Aug. 3). The actions taken by Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board of Trustees with respect to revising the variation standards were not intended to “lower the hurdle” for variations, as the article’s headline might suggest. Rather, the new standards were put in place to resolve the issue of the commission and village board adhering differently to the previous standards. The revised ordinance should make it easier for both bodies to more uniformly evaluate variation petitions. In the presence of a very good zoning ordinance to begin with, which is the case in Riverside, it is intentionally supposed to not be easy to be granted a variation. That’s how we maintain the integrity and intent of the ordinance. That will still be true going forward, only now it will be easier for village board and commission to be in sync.
In response to a letter in the July 27 issue (“So long to a special friend”), I was so sad to hear that Maria Arstikys had passed away. She always had a cookie for my dog. We would be walking and he would stop and wait for Maria to catch up with us. I had wondered why I hadn’t seen her. Other neighbors also asked me if I’d seen her. She was a Mrs. St. Francis. Maria, you will be missed by many.
July 4 celebrations are already a month in the past (it’s hard to believe). Is there any celebration that stirs more passion, love, intensity and a caring for our country and each other? Veterans Park hosted the North Riverside celebration, a beautiful day full of fun and excitement, with honor and caring for every veteran as well as every participant. As I walked to and from the celebration, I mingled in. I must have been greeted by 75 to 100 smiling faces, all offering a positive, happy greeting. Mayor Hermanek, town trustees, the fire chief, police chief and most department heads, along with their co-workers all appeared full of smiles. The scouts, ballplayers and all other young people’s groups all appeared in a great parade led by many special floats, all filled with smiling faces. Mayor Hermanek hosted the festivities and they opened with the National Anthem sung by Rosemary Santoro. Rosemary sings in church, Circle of Sound groups and any village activity as needed. Rosemary started out great and finished on a tremendous high, as good as Kate Smith had ever done. I cried and saw seniors, adults, all families, young people and even a couple of toddlers captivated to tears and misty eyes in perfect silence uplifted to a new high of sensitivity. In a few minutes we all realized what a great country we have and what a tremendous community North Riverside is – from top to bottom. Thank you, Rosemary and every person and group who helped make this Fourth of July celebration so warm and touching.

The interest on most savings bonds should be reported as income on your tax return for the year that the bonds mature or when they are redeemed, whichever is earlier.

t Mathnasium of Oak Park/River Forest, you can feel the buzz of activity and excitement as soon as you walk in the door. Students of all ages from kindergarten through high school are actively engaged in learning and understanding mathematics. Operating on the philosophy that every child can become great at math, Mathnasium has become the industry leader in supplementary math education. More than any other subject, math has a stigma of being boring and anxiety provoking. At Mathnasium, all the stress is taken out of the process as compassionate instructors work one on one with learners. As owner, Jana Frank explains, “We Make Math Make Sense. Kids don’t hate math, they hate being frustrated and intimidated by it. Our job is to help our students develop number sense so they aren’t just able to do it, but actually understand what they are doing and why. Since we individually assess each student and create a customized learning curriculum for them, we are able to set students up on a path to success.” The staff at Mathnasium works to ensure students are not just learning, but enjoying what they are learning. “Even more important than the math is the attitude and confidence,” says Frank. “We want to make sure every student feels welcome and encouraged to
try their best. We will always adjust our teaching methods to find the one that works for each child.” This personalized instruction incorporates best practices through a combination of learning styles including written, mental, verbal, visual, and tactile. Whether students are struggling to keep up or excelling in their classes, the proven Mathnasium Method™ can address and advance their knowledge and abilities. Mathnasium OPRF also offers private instruction, test prep, and homework help. Parents and students alike sing the praises of Mathnasium. A Hatch Elementary student says, “At Mathnasium, I’ve learned that I actually LIKE math!” A Julian Middle Schooler says, “I’ve learned how to understand why the solution to a problem works instead of just memorizing how to solve it.” From a parent’s perspective, “It is a great pleasure for my children to be part of Mathnasium OPRF. The attention paid to their needs is amazing. It has changed the way that they feel about school and greatly increased their confidence levels” Mathnasium OPRF is located at 212 S. Marion St, Oak Park. Learn more at www. mathnasium.com/oakparkriverforest or call 708.613.4007 to schedule a FREE TRIAL SESSION.

By LAUREN RECCHIA

Contributing Reporter
he Riverside-Brookfield High School Special Olympics track and field team turned in another impressive showing at the annual summer games. The 400-meter relay team of Colleen Meade, Jennifer Bartlett, Eileen Cecconi, and Sigita Cuplinskas recorded a time of 1 minute, 22.47 seconds (nine seconds better than their previous best) to win the gold medal in convincing fashion at Illinois State University on June 12. “I was so proud of them,” head coach Jill Musil said. “The parents and I were crying. We knew exactly how hard these girls worked and how much they wanted it. You could just see it on their faces.” Meade (20.5 meters) and Bartlett (17.2 meters) each earned a bronze medal in their respective divisions in the softball throw event. Cecconi took silver in the 50-meter run (9.37) and finished fourth in the softball throw (21.5 meters). Alex Lange placed seventh in the 100-meter run (17.55) and Shawn Spera was sixth in the softball throw (19.2 meters). “I was really happy to win and get medals JILL MUSIL and support the team,” RBHS coach Colleen Meade said. “I was having a lot of fun with new friends and the coaches make me happy because they support us. I was having a great time talking with everybody.” Meade, Cecconi, and Cuplinskas competed in the Special Olympics for the first time this year. A consummate teammate, Bartlett led the way in helping his fellow Bulldogs prepare for competition. “Bartlett was such a great mentor to them and such a great big sister,” Musil said. “Meade really stepped it up. Cecconi and Cuplinskas rocked it on the baton pass. “The way that they all bonded together was really nice to see because they truly were the definition of a team. They all came out to win and really brought it. To see that pride on their faces was just really special.” The Special Olympics program at RBHS,
“The way that they all bonded together was really nice to see because they truly were the definition of a team.”

which offers basketball in the fall and track and field during the spring, has been a great opportunity for the athletes and their families to have fun, develop friendships and support each other. “Jill Musil and (co-head coach) John Fields are such sweethearts,” said Kathleen Meade, Colleen’s mother. “They are great mentors.
Just being involved with kids that Colleen can call friends is a really great thing.” The entire Bulldogs Special Olympics track and field team had success in the spring games as well. The 400 relay took first place with a time of 1:31.95. Spera won the softball throw (19.96 meters) and Lange took first in the 100 (17.61). Meade
earned first place in the softball throw (18.64 meters) in the spring games, while Cecconi was first in the softball throw (23.31 meters) and 50 (10.12). “Being on this team is really about the camaraderie for Colleen,” Kathleen Meade said. “She was so happy to make new friends throughout the year. The winning was an added plus; they were all so happy. Being able to be with friends is what it’s all about.”
