MWRD work continues as schools set to reopen Traffic tie-ups likely at least through the end of August

By BOB UPHUES Editor

The 2017-18 school year at Riverside-Brookfield High School began Aug. 15, but anyone driving themselves or their kids to school should prepare for traffic delays courtesy of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District’s ongoing sewer-lining project.

Officials had held out some hope that the sewerlining work, particularly along Washington Avenue between Arden Avenue and Golf Road, would be done before school started – Riverside District 96 schools reopen on Aug. 24 – but work will continue through the month of August.

And if the area experiences anymore heavy rain events, such as those in late July, it could postpone the work further.

“All of this is weather dependent. When the weather is bad, we are not allowed to work in them,” said David Yunis, operations manager for Kenny Construction, the contractor heading up the work on the MWRD’s rehabilitation of its See MWRD WORK on page 15

Smetana declined to comment when asked about Gibbons and the Notice to Remedy.

Gibbons also declined to comment when asked about the Notice to Remedy.

“I have nothing to say about any of these personnel matters,” Gibbons said.

The 42-year-old Gibbons said that he is on leave because his wife obtained a fulltime teaching job last year and he has two young children.

“I’m taking the kids to and from school and their practices,” Gibbons said. “It didn’t make sense for us both to be full time.”

He said that he has been working on local history books while also working part time as tutor. Gibbons second book, The Illustrated History of Compton Township, was recently published. Gibbons is also working on the second volume of a book he has written about the history of west suburban Geneva.

Gibbons’ AP European History class was mostly taken by sophomores and was often the first AP class taken by many academically gifted students at RBHS. He was known as an intense, intellectual, and demanding teacher. Some students felt that Gibbons focused too much on small details instead of overarching themes.

The problems with Gibbons in the 201516 school year seem to have been mostly centered on an AP U.S. History class that he taught.

Multiple students in the class complained to the administration about Gibbons and were interviewed by administrators. Among other things they believed that Gibbons favored students who had taken his AP European History class over those who did not.

Gibbons said that it was his decision to take a leave of absence.

“They did not ask me to take a leave, I chose to take one, “Gibbons said.

Gibbons told the Landmark that the Notice to Remedy did not play a major role in his decision to take a leave of absence.

“I’d rather not say anything about it,” Gibbons said.

Gibbons was asked whether he thinks he would be welcomed back at RBHS. “Well it depends on who you’d be referring to,” Gibbons said. “I would rather not answer that question.”

Price It Right! Even in a robust seller’s market, overpriced homes are a challenge to sell. If a home has been listed for 30 days or had 14 showings with no offer, it is likely priced too high.

Less than two weeks after retiring from more than 40 years as a firefighter in Brookfield, Edward Bermann is working for the village again – albeit in a different and volunteer capacity -- as a member of the Brookfield Fire and Police Commission.

Bermann was one of three men sworn in at a special meeting of the Brookfield Village Board on Aug. 11 as fire and police commissioners. Also sworn in were longtime former village trustee C.P. Hall and Tim Heilenbach, who also serves as a Riverside Township trustee.

“I feel we have a group that understands how the commission works, and I have a lot of faith and trust in them,” said Brookfield President Kit Ketchmark, who appointed the trio in the wake of an abrupt mass resignation by the entire three-person commission in late July. “I’m optimistic that they’ll hit the ground running.”

The commissioners met officially for the first time on Aug. 15, a training session with Village Attorney Richard Ramello to go over the commission’s duties and protocols. The commission is responsible for screening those applying to be police officers and firefighters in Brookfield.

Terms on the Fire and Police Commission are three years in length, but because all three were sworn in on the same day, the terms are staggered. Bermann’s term expires in 2018, Hall’s in 2019 and Heilenbach’s in 2020.

Bermann said he hadn’t planned on becoming re-involved in village affairs so soon, but the commission opening provided an easy choice for him “I was given an opportunity to serve the village in my retirement, and I’m happy for the opportunity,” Bermann said. “But it’s going to be a learning curve for all of us.”

Hall is a longtime PEP Party official and political ally of Ketchmark and the rest of the village board, who all belong to the PEP Party. He previously served on the Brookfield Plan Commission.

Bermann, who rose through the ranks of the fire department from paid-on-call firefighter to captain, has not been involved in village politics, though his late mother was a longtime village hall employee.

Heilenbach first appeared on the Brookfield political scene in 2009 as a candidate for village trustee with the VIP Party. He since has served on the Brookfield Public Safety Commission, as its chairman. In April 2017, Heilenbach was elected as a trustee in Riverside Township on a Republican Party slate that ran unopposed.

New Brookfield Fire and Police commissioners (from left) Edward Bermann, Tim Heilenbach and C.P. Hall.

“It’s a new beginning, I guess,” said Heilenbach, who complimented the past commissioners for their service. “I certainly appreciate all they did. They did a great job for the village, and we’ll try to pick up where they left off.”

In late July former commissioners Sharon Skweres, Alan Dorobiala and Thomas Hagle resigned after a fire promotion appeared on a village board agenda before the commission approved the promotion.

Skweres, the commission’s longtime chairwoman, believed village officials had ignored the commission. Village Manager Keith Sbiral said he had assumed the commission was handling the details for the promotion.

For Skweres, dissatisfaction over what she perceived to be poor treatment over a period of years by village officials had been mounting, though both the manager and president said they were unaware of any complaints.

The flap over the promotion was the final straw for Skweres, and her two colleagues joined her in leaving the commission.

Skweres attended the special board meeting on Aug. 11 and shook the hands of the new commissioners after they were sworn in.

“I wish them well,” said Skweres, who wanted to close the door on recent events.

“As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.”

The commission conducts testing for applicants, creates hiring lists and is responsible for hiring police and firefighters. The commission also is responsible for promoting police officers and firefighters Fire and police commissioners also can review complaints against police and fire employees and impose discipline, though they haven’t been asked to handle any such cases in many years.

Komarek moms spearhead spruce up at Komarek Business donated supplies; community members, staff pitch in

By JACKIE GLOSNIAK Contributing Reporter

In an age when elementary schools across the U.S. are cutting back on or completely eliminating recess for students, faculty and staff at Komarek School still believe in the importance of outdoor fun and learning through play.

However, while students may have a dedicated 25 minutes of outside time during the school day, two Komarek moms noticed the students’ space to stretch out has never been particularly colorful or engaging.

“Since the beginning of last year, I had walked out to the school, meeting with the landscaper just because the exterior of the building looked like it needed some really good tender loving care,” Lisa Mondane, a North Riverside resident and mother of a first-grader, said.

Another parent, Christian Rodriguez, was also disappointed the outside did not appear to be kid-friendly.

“They didn’t have any type of area to play — just a blacktop,” the Broadview mother of a first-grader and preschooler said. “[Students] were usually just running around and playing tag [and] that’s the only thing they did.”

So, in an effort to jazz up the Mondane was excited the playground space outside the school was on board with their school, the parents joined forcvision. es and provided ideas on how “I thought, ‘What a perfect to improve the existing space opportunity, a perfect time, to in a simple, low-cost way with reintroduce the kids to a new the administration and school school year having some really board. fun, bright, colorful playscapes Last November, Mondane for them to play on at recess,’” created a short presentation she said. for the superintendent, prinEarlier this summer, Moncipal and school board, where dane contacted local businessCHRISTIAN RODRIGUEZ/Contributor she suggested painting designs es to see if any would be inon the blacktop, creating desigterested in providing donated nated spaces for playground equipment and or discounted supplies to start on a painting exploring a volunteer grounds beautification project for the blacktop. committee.

side the school’s east and west buildings. On Aug. 11, Mondane returned to the school to spray paint bike racks to match with the colors on the playground.

Additionally, some parents have also volunteered to donate basic recess equipment like balls, jump ropes and other toys to complete the idea of making recess and student outdoor time more fun.

Ganan said he was happy to see the parents come up with a unique idea and come together to make it happen on a budget.

“It’s been cool [and] the project cost us very little,” he said.

Rodriguez is pleased with the results and is sure the revitalization of the space will enhance the students’ days in many ways.

“School play time is vital for our kids [and] the playground will contribute to our children’s physical activity,” Rodriguez said.

“With the new stencils painted, we believe that the injuries will decrease and of course, will give our kids a new experience of engagement in game activities. Also, I’m pretty sure that will impact our children’s learning and development.”

Mondane added, “I wanted to make the outside of the school match the greatness of the inside.”

Fire guts North Riverside home Blaze started on back deck, then spread to house

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Fire gutted a North Riverside home on the afternoon of Aug. 12, and investigators are still trying to determine exactly how it started.

According to North Riverside Fire Chief Brian Basek, just one person was at the home at 2411 9th Ave. at about 2:05 p.m. when he saw the rear deck of the home ablaze. The resident grabbed a pet and fled the home before calling 911.

When firefighters arrived, said Basek, they observed the rear deck to be aflame.

The fire also had traveled into the rear of the home into both the first and second floors.

A short video of the fire taken from a nearby yard and later posted on the Facebook page of North Riverside Firefighters Union 2714 and shared with the Landmark shows the back deck completely engulfed in flames.

Two teams of firefighters, one in the front and one in the back were able to extinguish the fire within 15 to 20 minutes, said Basek.

In addition to North Riverside, firefighters from Broadview, Forest Park and Berwyn responded to the alarm.

Basek confirmed that the origin of the fire was on the rear deck, but the cause of the fire was still under investigation as of Monday afternoon. The fire chief said

ON THE SCENE: A team of firefighters ran one hose line through the front of the home (above left) to extinguish the fire inside while a second team put out the fire in back. At right, officials survey the damage to the back of the house from the fire, which apparently started on the wooden back deck.

Monday it was still unknown whether or not the fire was related to a grill or cooking out on the back deck.

North Riverside fire investigators were being assisted by investigators from MABAS Division 11, of which the village is a part.

The house sustained heavy fire, smoke

and water damage and is uninhabitable.

With the family displaced, a Gofundme page has been created to help them.

“Almost everything was destroyed in the fire and while we can’t replace the priceless photos and memories, we can still do our best to contribute in any way we can,”

wrote Riverside resident Alex Hamer, who started the page, which seeks to raise $10,000.

As of Monday afternoon, the effort had raised more than $2,300. The Gofundme page can be found at www.gofundme.com/ help-support-the-banahan039s.

Riverside police partner with ride-share company Goal is to reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roads

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Back in mid-July Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel noted that during the first six months of 2017, arrests for drunk driving were down 31 percent year over year.

At the time, Weitzel said, the officers working the midnight shift – when the vast majority of arrests for driving under the influence occur – indicated that the reduction might be attributable to ride-sharing services, such as Lyft and Uber.

“My officers said they found absolutely ride shares were making a difference,” Weitzel said.

Officers, said the chief, related that when they are called to local establishments to help remove someone who has been overserved, they’ve witnessed those people pull out their phones and order a ride-share, even if their car is parked out front on the

street.

Riverside police say they have told people to leave their cars parked on the street – police won’t ticket or tow them, Weitzel said -- and pick them up the next morning. The goal is to get impaired drivers off the road, Weitzel said.

“An Uber or Lyft is there in five minutes,” Weitzel said.

About a week that July announcement about the reduction in DUI arrests in 2017, Weitzel said he contacted Uber and Lyft about coming up with a way to convince people who have been drinking alcohol to use those services instead of getting back in their own vehicles.

Uber never responded, Weitzel said, but Lyft did.

And on Aug. 14, Weitzel announced a partnership between the Riverside Police department and Lyft, which will provide discounted rides to anyone who has been

given a 3-by-5 card by police or by an employee of a local establishment who believes that person might need a safe ride home.

When the user orders the ride, he or she can type in a code that will provide a 50 percent discount, up to $10, for that ride.

Lyft delivered 1,000 such cards to Riverside police to start the partnership.

“It’s up to us as to how we’re going to distribute them,” Weitzel said.

According to Weitzel, the cards will be stapled to bond information sheets given to DUI offenders, and they’ll also be passed out to anyone who’s a passenger in a vehicle involved in a DUI arrest.

Many times, those passengers are also intoxicated and have to call a cab, ride-share or a family member for rides after the driver is arrested. Police will carry cards in their squad cars and will also distribute them to local restaurants and bars that serve alco-

hol. Employees who feel someone who needs a ride home can give them a discount card.

“All it is, is an attempt to reduce drunk driving,” Weitzel said.

Weitzel said neither the village nor the police department is subsidizing the discounted rides. Lyft took care of printing the cards and delivering them to Riverside police.

Lyft’s Midwest general manager, David Katcher, said in an email that the program with Riverside is Lyft’s first official partnership with a police department in Illinois.

“We have a number of partnerships across the country to reduce impaired driving, including one with the Seattle Department of Transportation and Seattle Vision Zero (which included partnering with the Seattle Police Department in January 2016),” Katcher said.

The company, he said, “wanted to do everything we could to ensure Riverside residents and visitors were getting home safely.”

County commissioners pitch sugary drink tax repeal USDA threatens to withhold food stamp funds

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Five Cook County Commissioners announced on Aug. 9 that they will support an ordinance to repeal the controversial Cook County penny-an-ounce tax on pre-sweetened beverages.

Commissioners Richard Boykin (D-1st), Sean Morrison (R-17th) and Tim Schneider (R-15th) appeared at a press conference Aug. 9 at the County Building to announce their move to repeal the tax.

A press release from Morrison stated that Commissioners Jeffrey Tobolski (D-16th) and John Fritchey (D-12th) also support the repeal.

Morrison, the chief sponsor, said that his ordinance to repeal the beverage tax will be considered at the next county board meeting on Sept. 13 and encouraged people to attend.

“The beverage tax is an absolute disaster for Cook County,” said Morrison whose district includes the central part of Brookfield and all of Riverside. “Residents and businesses are getting punished by it. After witnessing the tremendous fallout and

public backlash, I believe there are some on the board who voted to support the tax that could reconsider their original vote and support this repeal.”

Boykin, who represents Forest Park and Oak Park, said he opposes the tax because it is regressive, hard to administer and unpopular.

“I’m against it because the people are against it,” Boykin said. “I mean my constituents were against it from the beginning. … I think it’s unwarranted and the whole guise about reducing obesity, all of us want to do that, but if we want to do that we’ve got to put the money there.”

Tobolski, who represents North Riverside and parts of the north and south ends of Brookfield, also said that the tax was unfair.

“I know it’s been said over and over and over again, but it’s a tax that targets a very small segment of the population and attempts to balance a deficit on their shoulders,” Tobolski said.

The tax was approved in November when Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle broke a tie vote. Since then there is one new commissioner, Dennis Deer (2nd),

Every Wednesday - 2:30pm to 7pm

who replaced Robert Steele, who died in June. Steele was in the hospital when the county board deadlocked 8-8 on the tax before Preckwinkle broke the tie.

Even if the repeal passed the county board, it would take 11 votes to override an expected veto by Preckwinkle. In a follow up interview, Boykin admitted that that getting 11 votes for repeal is unlikely.

“I think that the only chance you’re going to have for a repeal, quite honestly, is if you have a new president of the county board,” said Boykin, who said that he is considering running against Preckwinkle in the 2018 Democratic primary.

Another problem with beverage tax emerged Aug. 10, when state officials informed Preckwinkle that the way some retailers have been implementing the tax could result in the federal government withholding $87 million in food stamp money.

Purchases made with federal food assistance, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), are exempt from tax. The sweetened beverage tax is added on to the price of the drink purchased and some retailers, especially small retailers, have not updated their point of sale systems to not charge the tax to those making purchases with SNAP benefits.

To get around this problem, the county issued a regulation stating that retailers could ring up the tax and refund the amount of the tax in cash to SNAP purchasers. But the federal government has indicated that charging the tax at all to SNAP purchasers is not permissible.

A spokesman for Preckwinkle said on Aug. 10 that the county had worked with the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), which administers the SNAP program, in setting up the refund procedure and will continue to work with them to iron out any issues.

“It was never our intention in drafting the sweetened beverage regulations to

put federal SNAP funding for the state in jeopardy,” said Frank Shuftan, the chief spokesman for Preckwinkle in a statement. “At this time, we believe we are in compliance with existing SNAP rules. We do however recognize that USDA’s powers against the state in this regard are substantial, and we will work collaboratively with both the state and USDA to address USDA’s concerns.”

The commissioners say that revenue lost by repealing the beverage tax could be made up for by streamlining county government.

“There are alternative means to address those fiscal issues and we plan to present those remedies to President Preckwinkle as she prepares her 2108 budget proposal,” Morrison said.

Boykin said that county should improve its procurement process, curtail hiring and save money on legal expenses.

He said that that he would also introduce an ordinance at the September 13 county board meeting to require the Cook County State’s Attorney, which represents the county in legal actions, to inform county commissioners of any before filing certain court actions.

This is in response to Preckwinkle’s now-withdrawn motion to seek $17 million in damages from the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, which filed a lawsuit challenging the beverage tax and delayed its implementation by a month. The constitutionality of the tax was eventually upheld and the tax went into effect on Aug. 2.

“I think when you act like that, it becomes almost as if you’re the monarch,” Boykin said of Preckwinkle’s legal action against the Retail Merchants Association.

“If you’re going to use taxpayer money to bind the county to a lawsuit then the commissioners ought to get a say in that.

“My problem is that we weren’t even consulted. We found out about it in the newspapers.”

North Riverside 7-Eleven robbed at gunpoint Three people wearing masks and gloves and armed with a handgun and a screwdriver robbed a North Riverside convenience store early on Aug. 15, making off with $500 in cash and personal property taken from a store employee.

North Riverside police responded to 7-Eleven, 9205 Cermak Road, at about 1:15 a.m. after the store clerk reported the robbery.

The clerk reportedly told police that three people wearing masks and gloves entered the store while a fourth waited outside inside a dark sedan, which was parked in front of the convenience store.

The offenders, whose physical description was limited by police to the details regarding the masks, gloves and weapons, forced the clerk to open the cash register.

After taking the money and the clerk’s personal property, the offenders fled the scene.

No one was injured during the incident, which remains under investigation by North Riverside police.

Riverside burglary suspect arrested Melrose Park resident Christian A. Benavides-Acevedo, 18, faces felony burglary charges after he allegedly broke into a car parked inside a garage in the 300 block of Shenstone Road, Riverside, during the early morning hours of Aug. 10.

Police responded to an activated bur-

glar alarm and an officer arriving at the scene reported observing a man in all black riding away from the scene on a bicycle. The suspect, later identified as Benavides-Acevedo, was apprehended after hopping off the bicycle and leading police on a brief foot chase in the 400 block of Shenstone Road.

A witness was able to identify Benavides-Acevedo as the person who was inside the garage, according to police. In addition, police say the Trek 800 bicycle Benavides-Acevedo was riding did not belong to him. However, the investigation continues into whose bicycle it is.

Police reported recovering an iPhone, a pair of Prada sunglasses, two sets of keys, electronic devices and credit cards taken from the Shenstone Road vehicle.

In addition to burglary, BenavidesAcevedo was charged with criminal trespassing and criminal damage to a vehicle. Benavides-Acevedo has a record that includes 14 prior arrests, police said, for offenses including burglary, robbery, unlawful use of a weapon, battery and aggravated battery.

However, according to police, a judge set Benavides-Acevedo’s bond at $1,000, meaning he needed to post $100 to remain free while awaiting trial.

Brookfield vehicle break-ins A resident of the 3300 block of Sunnyside Avenue, Brookfield, contacted police on Aug. 9 to report that during the over-

night hours someone had entered her unlocked vehicle and removed a wallet, which was next to the driver’s seat.

Police also reported that a second unlocked vehicle on the same block had been burglarized. The offender rifled through the glove box and took some loose change and about $3 in cash.

Rocks thrown at school window Brookfield police responded to S.E. Gross Middle School, 3524 Maple Ave., on the morning of Aug. 10 after an employee called to report that someone had thrown a rock through the window above door 3A, adjacent to the playground.

An employee on Aug. 9 had noticed a small hole in the window, but did not report it to police. The next day, when maintenance staff went to cover up the hole, a new hole was discovered.

DUI two-fer A Riverside police officer arrested two different drivers for driving under the influence during the same traffic stop on Aug. 8 at 8:50 p.m. on Harlem Avenue.

The officer reported seeing a 2001 Pontiac southbound in the 3400 block of Harlem Avenue on three tires, with a bare rim throwing sparks onto the roadway. A 2004 Mitsubishi was tailing the Pontiac and that driver was beeping the car’s horn and, according to police, driving recklessly in an attempt to stop the other car.

The driver of the Mitsubishi, a 31-yearold River Grove woman, told police that the Pontiac had struck her vehicle in Berwyn and was attempting to stop the driver of the Pontiac, a 20-year-old Cicero man, from fleeing.

Both of the drivers appeared to be extremely intoxicated, according to police, and both were charged with DUI and other traffic offenses.

Cars keyed in Brookfield The Brookfield owners of four cars reported that someone had gouged deep scratches into their vehicle during overnight hours last week, and none can think of anything that would have prompted such an action.

The incidents were reported overnight on Aug. 6-7 in the 3900 block of Oak Avenue, on Aug. 8-9 in the 4100 block of Raymond Avenue and on Aug. 12-13 in the 3400 block of Oak Avenue.

All of the vehicles were parked on the street.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Aug. 7-Aug. 15, 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.

Violent drug kingpin from Brookfield gets 37 years Killed one associate, ordered shooting of another

By BOB UPHUES Editor

A Brookfield man convicted in 2014 of drug trafficking and killing a former business partner for cooperating with law enforcement was sentenced Aug. 11 to 37 years in federal prison by U.S. District Court Judge Harry D. Leinenweber.

David Price, 38, used the profits of his heroin trafficking operation between 2005 and 2011 to buy a luxury high-rise apartment on South Michigan Avenue in Chicago and homes in several Chicago suburbs, including Brookfield.

Price, who went by “Shorty,” “Lil’ Dave” and “Hot Sauce,” according to prosecutors, supplied large amounts of

heroin to dealers on Chicago’s West Side and used the proceeds to fund what prosecutors called “a lavish lifestyle,” buying luxury homes, high-end vehicles, jewelry and designer clothes.

A federal jury in 2014, found Price guilty of all 13 counts against him, including heroin conspiracy, money laundering and illegal possession of an Uzistyle pistol with an extended magazine. “[Price’s] senseless violence was motivated by greed and his love for money,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys Angel M. Krull and Erik Hogstrom argued in the government’s sentencing memorandum. “[Price] is a lifelong criminal, becoming a millionaire by pushing heroin on a suffering community, and putting money,

power and unspeakable violence above his family, above his childhood friends, above his community and above everything.”

A press release issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, stated that Price and three others, including his cousin, Keith Carr, 35, of Chicago, Rashid Bounds and Christopher Saunders conspired to use an apartment in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood to mix heroin with an over-thecounter sleep aid to package heroin for distribution on the street.

Carr was sentenced in 2016 to 20 years in prison, while Bounds and Saunders were sentenced to 17 years each.

The drugs would then be fronted to others for sale in various West Side neigh-

borhoods. Price shared profits with supervisors of those locations.

Price ordered one of those supervisors, 35-year-old James Brown, to be killed, because he believed Brown was working with law enforcement. Brown survived and testified against Price at the trial.

But during the two-day sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Judge Leinenweber found that Price personally murdered Greg Holden, who was Price’s lifelong friend and business associate for cooperating with authorities.

Price broke into Holden’s home in Woodridge on Dec. 8, 2011 and shot him about 20 times, the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated, while Holden’s two young daughters were home.

BOARD TABLE

Sustainable solution from page 1 were planning a new country retreat called Riverside.

“This tree was here when Frederick Law Olmsted was walking the town,” said Collins, referring to the man who laid out the village’s general plan of curving streets and public greenways.

Collins convinced village leaders to reclaim the wood from the fallen oak and on Aug. 16, a year and a half after the storm, the tree is coming back to Riverside in the form of three custom-built pieces that will serve as the village board’s council table.

The first board meeting at which the tables will be used will be Aug. 17. The two men responsible for transforming the raw wood into furniture – craftsman Paul Meyer and sawmill operator Dan DeSerto – personally will deliver the tables the day before the meeting.

“We were able to take a 160-year-old white oak and preserve it for generations to come,” said Collins, who also views the reclamation project as a chance to educate.

“The idea behind the project is to utilize the wood for a higher purpose and lock up the wood/carbon in order to help mitigate the impacts of climate change and global warming,” Collins added in an email. “Most urban wood is used for firewood or mulch, which is quickly degraded and carbon is released into the atmosphere, impacting the amount of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere.”

Good old-fashioned networking led Collins to DeSerto and Meyer, who operate businesses next door to one another in far northwest suburban Woodstock.

FROM RAW TO READY: Paul Meyer points out a design detail on his plans, which lie atop one of the new Riverside board tables he created out of a 160-year-old white oak (at right), which blew down on Fairbank Road in a 2106 storm. A special routing machine was used to etch the Riverside logo onto a panel for what will be the central board table.

Back in early 2015, Collins was looking for a way to find someone who might be interested in turning dozens of dead ash trees that had been removed from Indian Gardens into lumber.

For years, Collins had been talking about the concept of utilizing urban wood for other purposes with Edith Macra, a colleague at the Morton Arboretum. She put him in touch with Don Peterson, executive director of the Wisconsin-based Sustainable Resources Institute, who directed him to DeSerto’s Bull Valley Hardwood sawmill, set on 40 acres in Woodstock.

DeSerto ended up buying about $1,600 in ash timber from Riverside. A little more than a year later, he heard from Collins

Ash trunks to teach Riverside history In addition to the tables made from a fallen oak tree, Riverside will soon take possession of a couple of 30-inch diameter discs of ash from trees taken down a few years ago at Indian Gardens.

The trees, according to Riverside Forester Michael Collins, were pre-settlement ash trees that fell victim to the emerald ash borer. Right now, the raw 8- to 12-inch discs – they’ll be cut down to 1.5 inches eventually – are slowly air drying on the floor of Bull Valley Hardwood, a sawmill in northwest suburban Woodstock owned

by Dan DeSerto.

If you dry out the wood too quickly, DeSerto said, the end grain can crack overnight. That can be prevented by treating the wood with chemicals, said DeSerto, “but we wanted to do it naturally.”

When the discs have dried sufficiently, they will be sanded on all sides – the edges will retain the remarkably beautiful ribbons left behind by the burrowing insect that killed the tree – and sealed with

a coat of finish.

The goal is for the village to use the discs to educate people about the dangers of pests like the ash borer and also about the history of Riverside, which can be told through the age rings of the tree discs.

“The endgame is to do some dendrochronology [tree-ring dating],” Collins said. “In reality we’d be showcasing that historical component but also the [ash borer damage] is a real good visual.”

again, about an oak tree that the village wanted to transform into tables for the village board.

“Mike called me and asked if we could mill the [oak], dry it down to a usable state and make new council tables,” said DeSerto, 60, a software developer who’s spent the past five years bringing Bull Valley Hardwood to fruition.

He’s in the process of selling his two software companies to devote all of his time to the combination sawmill, lumber supply store and woodworking shop.

“My goal is to retire full time into woodworking,” DeSerto said.

While DeSerto said his company was capable of making the tables, he thought the tables needed the hand of an expert. So, referred Collins to Meyer, a longtime educator and four-term Woodstock High School board member.

“He’s exceptionally talented,” DeSerto said of Meyer, 59, who retired from his job as a woodworking teacher at Harvard High School in June to turn to his business, Woodstock Woodworks and Studio Ltd., full time.

While Meyer designed the tables throughout the summer of 2016, it wasn’t until February that he took possession of the lumber from DeSerto, who needed a lot of time to mill and then slowly kiln-dry the wood.

Meyer gave Riverside four examples of tables, and the village chose a design where table tops are supported by thick pedestals.

The village also requested that the tables be on wheels, so they’d be easy to move.

Instead of exposing the wheels, Meyer designed tables where wheels can be raised and lowered without exposing them.

There are three tables, all 30 inches high.

Two of the table tops are 32 inches wideby-8 feet long. Those will flank a central table that is 6-feet long and which has a central front panel emblazoned with Riverside’s village logo.

The design of the final panel was arrived at through trial and error on DeSerto’s CNC router, which essentially engraved the logo into the wood. Meyer then spent more than five hours painting the engraved logo by hand.

“It just blew me away at how cool it looks,” Meyer said.

As far as style, Meyer settled on Prairie style and the geometric design on the pedestals is made from about 100 pieces of oak veneer. Meyer obtained a warm, golden color not by staining the wood, but by exposing it to ammonium hydroxide, which reacted with the tannins in the oak.

The tables ended up costing the village $9,500, but that figure doesn’t include the many hours DeSerto and Meyer donated to the project, said Collins.

If the village had paid retail prices, said Collins, the three tables would have cost the village $22,500 instead of the $9,000 Riverside paid Meyer, and the sawmill costs would have been $3,000 instead of the $500 they actually paid.

“In reality, Dan and Paul donated a significant amount of time and equity,” Collins said. “The amount spent wouldn’t reflect what it would really cost on the market.”

In the end, Collins credited networking and a supportive village administration for making the tables a reality.

“I’m grateful to Paul and Dan, but also Don and Edith for making the connection,” Collins said. “Networking allowed this to evolve into something that was bigger than the sum of its parts.”

Collins said that it’s unlikely that repurposing urban wood can be used in every instance, but this particular tree was too good an opportunity to pass up.

“When we see an opportunity, it’s important for foresters to recognize possibilities and work with officials,” Collins said.

“Without their support, none of this would have happened.”

hen you think of drama, you don’t typically think of local fire and police commissions.

Normally, the hard-working folks responsible for screening, hiring and promoting municipal police officers and firefighters operate diligently in the background.

But for a couple of weeks recently, the Brookfield Fire and Police Commission has been in the spotlight after its three members resigned over the same weekend in late July, causing a bit of heartburn for top village officials and triggering a scramble to replace the former members.

How did this just blow up so suddenly, you ask? That’s a good question. The village manager and president say they hadn’t been aware of any recent issues with the commission.

Sure, over the years there had been some complaints, mainly about space accommodation. But that was water under the bridge, village officials thought.

There was a simmering resentment, however, hinted at in emails to other village staffers and probably discussed among commissioners, who worked without pay, often over entire weekends, handling some of the village’s most important hires.

In conversations with the commission’s longtime chairwoman, Sharon Skweres, it became apparent that she felt unappreciated. She didn’t hear “thank you.” She wasn’t kept in the loop on retirements. Commissioners didn’t get invited to things like Christmas parties. She’d been serving the village a very long time, almost continuously since the late 1980s.

She was looking for a little consideration.

Whether or not village officials would agree with her assessment of the situation, it’s instructive from a human perspective. People like to feel that what they are doing is worthwhile and appreciated. Most won’t ask for consideration; they expect their value to be recognized. When it isn’t, it’s diminishing.

One of the things said as this story was reported was that the commissioners asked to be reappointed and that if they weren’t happy, they could have chosen to walk away. True, but that cuts both ways.

In our reporting, officials clearly were uncomfortable with some of the ways the commission did its business. Sensitive personnel files were stored at the chairwoman’s home. There were some concerns this year about an open meetings violation.

If village leaders had problems with such things, changes in commissioners could have been made. They weren’t.

And it also came to light that one of the commissioners had been serving more than a year after his term had expired before being reappointed earlier this year. If anyone was looking for evidence of village officials not paying very close attention to the commission, that’s certainly an indicator.

The drama is over now. Last week, the village board voted in three new commissioners, all of whom have served the village well in the past and who, no doubt, will do a fine job.

Village and elected officials will, as is proper, maintain a hands-off relationship with the commission. But officials should let this last episode serve as a reminder that people still need a pat on the back every now and then, and that if there are issues, both sides need to address them promptly.

Everyone involved should be on the same page and the same team.

I swear, it wasn’t on the lesson plan

t’s that time again! Back to school kids!

I remember those days and the status symbol of who would have the Crayola box with the most crayons. I think it topped out at 64 at that time; possibly the school put a cap on how many crayons one could have so there were no problems.

Time flew and I became a teacher, and there are many stories to tell. While teaching at Mater Christi in North Riverside (never should have closed), the first day opened with fresh clean faces, smiles -- well most of them were smiling -- sharpened No. 2 pencils and the necessary supplies to begin a year of learning.

As a lifelong student of Catholic education, being called to the principal’s office always put the fear of God (and sister) in me. So, here it was the first week of school and I, the teacher, was summoned to the office. Yes, I still had that fear. Sister Marcellita greeted me with what seemed to me the stern look (but no ruler in sight).

We had been instructed to have our students write an essay on what they hoped to learn during the school year. My fourth-graders took the challenge and the papers were sent to the office as directed. Sister held a

paper out and began to read from it.

One of my students wrote that one of the things she planned to learn that year was “sinning.” As I began to stutter and assure Sister that sinning was not in my lesson plan, she began to laugh and said she believed the student really meant “singing” not “sinning.” That’s how the year started, and we did sing every day.

So, children, as you begin another school year, keep in mind it is not how many crayons you have, but what you do with the ones you have. Keep those pencils and your mind sharpened and listen, because you don’t want to miss anything.

Help support suicide prevention For the past 10 years, I have proudly supported the Illinois Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, America’s leading suicide prevention organization, by both fundraising and volunteering.

This cause is very dear to me, because 20 years ago this month I lost my twin brother, Andrew, to suicide. The devastation our family and friends endured after his loss spurred me to spend many of my free hours the past 10 years raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

Our upcoming Out of the Darkness Chicagoland Walk is on Saturday, Sept. 23 at Arvey Field in Grant Park. This walk brings thousands to the lakefront in order to raise awareness and funds that will save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in this country, and in Illinois alone, we lose more than 1,300 individuals to suicide each year. It touches millions of lives -- people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. But the research is clear: suicide is preventable, and the more people who stand up for suicide prevention and mental health, the more lives we can save.

Funds raised support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and its bold goal to reduce the annual suicide rate in the United States 20 percent by 2025 through research, education, advocacy, and support.

These walks are truly uplifting experiences, and they grow every year. Local proprietor Keith Brennan of For the Birds in Brookfield also supports AFSP’s mission.

Mention AFSP when you shop in his store Sept. 11-16, and he will give 20 percent of your pre-tax sale to the foundation.

I hope others in our community who have been touched by suicide or simply support mental health awareness will join me at the walk next month. This event is worth being a part of.

County’s math of drink tax is ‘bogus’ The math that Cook County came up with in regard to how much the penny-an-ounce tax will bring in is bogus.

First, the sales of those drinks will not remain the same.

There is no way that they can tell how many people will no longer buy those items in Cook County. And the people that go to another county for those drinks will not only buy those items, they will also buy … other things, so that the 9 percent sales tax would be lost to Cook County on all of those items. That is not small change.

What about vending machines? They no doubt are going to raise their prices as much as 25 cents a can. You know that for a fact. The Cook County stores’ sales are going to get smaller, and how many small stores will go under?

MWRD WORK Weather dependent from page 1 90-year-old Salt Creek Intercepting Sewer No. 2, which snakes below First Avenue from around 13th Street to Forest Avenue/ Ridgewood Avenue and then branches off east and west into Riverside and Brookfield.

That means the temporary traffic signals and the one traffic lane along part of Washington Avenue will remain in place until the end of August.

The traffic signal, however, will be returning later in the fall. According to Yunis, the traffic signals will return to the vicinity of Washington and Arden avenues in Brookfield in late September and early October.

“The same traffic control … will be needed for about three weeks at that location, pending resolution of some technical issues on those sewers,” Yunis said.

Kenny Construction will begin lining the sewer along Arden Avenue north and south of Washington Avenue at that time.

Brookfield Village Engineer Derek Treichel said that the sewer work on Arden Avenue should not delay the reconstruction of that street between Washington and Brookfield avenues.

Arden Avenue is due for a total rehab this year as part of the village’s $22.5 million multi-year street improvement campaign. Work to improve that street already has started.

Kenny will have to install an access shaft on the west side of Arden near Parkview Avenue, but the work ought to be complete by mid-September, Treichel said.

According to Treichel, the company hired to do street improvements will be able to work on Arden Avenue at the same time Kenny is in the area.

“We anticipate that the street reconstruction on Arden will be complete in early October,” Treichel said.

BOB UPHUES/Editor

HERE TODAY, BACK LATER: The temporary traffic signal on Washington Avenue west of Riverside-Brookfield High School will be in place through August as the MWRD work continues in the area. It will come back to the intersection of Washington and Arden in late September for another phase of that work.

First Ave. restrictions continue Meanwhile, traffic lanes on First Avenue at Forest Avenue, where the MWRD has a primary access shaft, will continue to be reduced at least through the end of August, Yunis said.

“But there could be potential delays at First and Forest if weather changes,” Yunis said.

As a result, the Riverside Police Department will deploy two crossing guards at First and Forest/Ridgewood until the project is complete, using the same plan that’s been em-

ployed in the past.

One crossing guard will escort students across First Avenue on the south side of the street, while another on the west side of First Avenue will cross students to the north side.

That setup will be used, said Police Chief Thomas Weitzel until the entire MWRD operation is complete, probably closer to the end of 2017, because even after First Avenue is completely re-opened to traffic, the right lane of westbound Forest Avenue still will be closed.

With MWRD work continuing on Washington Avenue and First Avenue near

Riverside Township hosts tax appeal seminars Homeowners in Riverside Township who wish to appeal their latest property assessments may do so through Aug. 30, and Riverside Township Assessor Fran Sitkiewicz is hosting a pair of seminars to assist residents.

Sitkiewicz has invited Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Dan Patlak to explain the property tax appeal procedure on Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Riverside Town Hall, 27 Riverside Road in River-

side and on Thursday, Aug. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the North Riverside Village Commons, 2401 Desplaines Ave. The hour-long sessions will educate taxpayers on how to file a successful appeal, provide information on property tax exemptions and address why property taxes sometimes go up when the value of your home goes down.

Before Patlak’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to work with staff from

the Board of Review to address specific questions.

The seminars are free to attend and there is no cost to appeal your property assessments.

Taxpayers are asked to bring a copy of their most recent tax bill.

For more information, contact the Board of Review, 118 N. Clark St., Room 601 in Chicago at 312-603-5542 or by visiting www.cookcountyboardofreview.com.

RBHS, school officials have announced that the dean’s office would be lenient regarding first-period tardies for the first week of school.

Meanwhile, Riverside-Brookfield High School Superintendent Kevin Skinkis said there will be a school staff member directing traffic at Golf Road and Washington Avenue both before and after school.

In addition to the construction, the high school opens its new parking lot off of Rockefeller Avenue this fall, and its impact on traffic congestion in that area is still to be seen.

Fenwick wrestling pins hopes on Kowalczuk OPRF grad hopes to guide Friars to more wins, higher profile

BY MARTY FARMER

D

By winning state titles in 2009, 2014, 2015 and 2016, OPRF is not only the best wrestling program in Oak Park but essentially in the state.

Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, who could blame Kowalczuk for citing his alma mater as a template of success to follow?

“I look at having OPRF right down the street as a huge positive rather than a negative,” he said. “First of all, the two schools are in different classes (OPRF is 3A; Fenwick 2A) so they can both benefit from being in the same town.

For whatever reason, I don’t think there’s been a relationship between the two schools in terms of wrestling. I hope that changes in the coming years.”

Sports Editor

uring his tenure as Fenwick High School’s athletic director, Scott Thies has shown a willingness to make bold head coaching moves.

He hired Gene Nudo to replace Joe DiCanio as the varsity football head coach in 2011 and then appointed Rick Malnati to take over for John Quinn as the varsity boys basketball head coach in 2013. While DiCanio and Quinn were proven coaches, the hiring of Nudo and Malnati has undeniably elevated the visibility and success of Fenwick football and basketball, respectively.

Last week (Aug. 9), Thies chose Oak Park and River Forest High School grad (2007) Peter Kowalczuk, 28, as the new head coach of Fenwick wrestling.

In this instance, however, Kowalczuk reached out to Thies.

“I heard from a couple of coaches that Tony Poro had left the Fenwick [wrestling] job,” Kowalczuk said.

“Once the job was posted, I had a buddy of mine actually email me all the information. I sent an email to Scott instantly, and we exchanged emails back and forth. I just kind of jumped in and it worked out.”

Unlike seasoned and successful coaches like Nudo and Malnati, Kowalczuk takes over as a first-time head coach.

Nevertheless, he is hoping to transform Fenwick wrestling from solid to spectacular.

PETE KOWALCZUK Kowalczuk has always been a winFenwick coach ner on the mat. During his senior season at OPRF in 2007, he went 40-2 with 32 pins and finished second in the state in the 285-pound class en route to All-State status. As a junior, he won 37 of 40 matches. His teammates included standouts like Ellis Coleman, Lillashawn Coleman, Peter Lovaas and Weldon Rogers.

After high school, Kowalczuk excelled in several international competitions and spent 3½ years at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is a four-time Olympic Trials qualifier (2008-2012), a USA Wrestling Junior National Champion and a two-time Fila Junior National Champion.

Reflective of his career, excellence at Fenwick is the goal of the charismatic coach.

“It might take a little time but I think we can take Fenwick wrestling to another level,” Kowalczuk said. “I’ve always wanted to be a head coach and this is a good fit for everybody. I think Scott sees me as a young, passionate and creative coach who knows wrestling.

“I work with a lot of the top wrestlers in the state during the offseason. My name is out there in the wrestling world,” he added. “I’m looking to find a great coaching staff to build our program. There’s no reason why Fenwick can’t be an elite wrestling program that’s exciting for the wrestlers, their families and the Fenwick community.”

While some may find it ironic that a former OPRF wres-

(Below) Kowalczuk, left, engages a French Olympian wrestler at a match in Paris. tling star has been brought on board to elevate the Fenwick program, Kowalczuk takes an inclusive view of the crosstown rivals.

“First and foremost, I’ll always be an Oak Park guy,” Kowalczuk said. “My wrestling roots are based on how [OPRF coaches] Mike Powell and Paul Collins taught me, but I’ve always respected the tradition of Fenwick wrestling. When I was in high school in the 2000s, Fenwick had so many great wrestlers.”

While some of his fondest memories are wrestling in the heavyweight class and also working as an assistant coach with the Huskies, Kowalczuk is all in on the Friars now.

This week, he’s meeting with Thies to discuss the selection of assistant coaches, review the varsity roster and create a vision for the program.

While Kowalczuk hasn’t met most of the wrestlers yet, he already has a close relationship with sophomore star grappler Jacob Kaminski from Riverside.

As a precocious freshman last year, Kaminski compiled a 22-2 record at 195 pounds while winning Catholic League, regional, and sectional titles. He became the first freshman wrestler in school history to advance to the state finals and collected All-State accolades.

Kaminski was undefeated until the state semifinal, where he lost to eventual champion Jacob Warner of Washington. Yet even after losing that match and subsequently finishing fourth in the state, Kaminski established himself as a rising wrestling star with state title aspirations the next three seasons.

The success continued for Kaminski this summer. He traveled to Fargo, North Dakota to compete in the Cadet National tournament, which features many of the nation’s top high school wrestlers.

Wrestling in both the Freestyle and Greco-Roman divisions, he placed third in each. Both of the losses — just like in the state finals — came at the hands of the eventual champions. Currently, Kaminski is ranked third nationally in the Cadet Division and is one of the top 20 wrestlers overall in the country.

Unequivocally, Kaminski is the cornerstone for the rebuilding Friars “Jake Kaminsi is a tremendous talent, one of the best wrestlers in the country,” Kowalczuk said. “I’ve coached him the past couple of years with the Greco team in the offseason. He’s such a special talent that we can build our program around him.”

Other notable varsity returners include seniors Harrison Graves and Liam Mahon and juniors Adam Aguilar and Brian Ziech.

“I want to push every one of our wrestlers to reach his or her maximum ability,” Kowalczuk said. “I don’t know Fenwick’s past in terms of female wrestlers, but that’s a growth sport and opportunity for girls that I’m open to having in the program.”
