HELPING HAND

Hurricane Harvey drives Riverside native from his Texas home By BOB UPHUES Editor

Just after midnight on Aug. 28, Ken Kuratko stood staring out the window of his home in the Kingwood neighborhood in northeast Houston, watching the water creep toward the front stoop. He still couldn’t believe it. A year earlier when the Riverside native and his family moved to Houston, all of the old-timers in the neighborhood said the home was “in a good spot.” It hadn’t flooded before. Even the Kuratkos’ insurance agent told them they didn’t need flood insurance. As the water crept closer to his home in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall at Rockport, about 200 miles southwest of Houston, at 10 p.m. on Aug. 25, Kuratko tried to convince himself the water wouldn’t reach his home. “I was in denial,” said Kuratko, as the water inched toward the home. “I was convinced it was going to stop there.” Three hours later, water was flooding through every doorway of the house. Eight inches of water covered rooms on the first See HOUSTON on page 15

Schools exhale after funding compromise Referendums for tax cuts in the future? By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Local school superintendents are breathing sighs of relief now that a new formula for state aid to education has been signed into law. The new law means that the state of Illinois will now start sending to school districts its twice-monthly installments of state aid, which had been held up in August, as the state legislature and Governor Bruce Rauner negotiated the details of the funding formula. “I’m excited to see that the legislation has been resolved,” said Riverside-Brookfield High School District 208 Superintendent Kevin Skinkis. The new law, which includes an additional $350 million in state aid to K-12 education, includes a new formula which is designed to direct more state aid to poorer school districts. However, the bill guarantees that no school district will receive less state aid than it received last year. The bill that passed the General Assembly was a compromise that gave Democrats almost all of what they wanted, including significantly increased state aid to Chicago Public Schools. Republicans, meanwhile, were able to include a provision that allows a total $75 million in state income tax credits for donations to a scholarship fund benefitting students at private schools. The new law also allows for voters in wellfunded school districts, like Riverside Elementary District 96 and Lyons Township High School District 204, to petition for a referendum to lower property taxes.

“We had to get something done,” said state Rep. Michael Zalewski (D-Riverside) who voted for the new law after the House was unable to override Rauner’s veto of a previous bill the legislature passed. “We needed a negotiated agreement with the Republicans,” Zalewski said. “From the way we were briefed on it, we got literally everything we wanted out of [the prior bill] and the Republicans had this request.” The new funding formula is based on more than two dozen factors – enrollment, percentage of low-income students, percentage of English language learners, location and many more – developed by a commission formed four years ago. The formula determines how adequately a particular school district is funded. In districts where current funding exceeds 110 percent of adequacy, 10 percent of district voters can sign a petition to force a referendum to lower property taxes. If a majority of voters agree taxes could be lowered to no less than 110 percent of adequacy. Among area school districts it appears that only Riverside District 96 and Lyons Township High School District 204 would be eligible for such a referendum, if enough voters wish to have one. A draft report issued to school superintendents and obtained by the Landmark indicates that District 204 is currently funded at 120 percent of adequacy, while District 96 is funded at 134 percent of adequacy. District 204 Superintendent Tim Kilrea and District 96 Superintendent Martha Ryan-Toye both said that they are waiting for further information about the details of the new law. “We haven’t done our final calculations on that adequacy target to know that would for sure to be the case, but that is something we are keeping an eye on certainly,” Ryan-Toye

said. Zalewski, who is the father of two District 96 students, says that he doubts that a majority of District 96 voters would vote to lower taxes for District 96. “I tend to think the parents and individuals in [District] 96 enjoy the fact that they have the financial flexibility to do some of the things that they want to do, so I’m wondering if anyone will take advantage of that provision,” Zalewski said. The bill also allows schools to reduce physical education classes to just three times a week from the current daily requirement and to outsource driver’s education instruction. Skinkis said that he has no current plans to propose to do either of those two things. “At this point in time, I have no recommendation for the board to look at drivers’ education or physical education,” Skinkis said. “I’ll need some time to study alternatives for the district and see if that’s even feasible.” Most Democrats did not want to vote for tax credits for donations to fund scholarships at private high schools, but said the provision was a necessary concession to end the stalemate in Springfield. “This was a compromise,” said Zalewski, who himself attended Catholic schools throughout high school. “As for the program itself, it’s very distasteful for those of us who want to see as much money flow to the public schools as possible.” Zalewski said that the scholarship provision is slated to be phased out after five years, and doubted the scholarship program would result in many more public school students attending private schools. “It’s not as if there’s going to be a deluge of these kids going to private or parochial schools as a result of this,” Zalewski said. “In the spirit of compromise, this was something that could be supported.”

Brookfield collecting supplies, cash for Houston’s animal victims

Brookfield Village Manager Keith Sbiral has started an impromptu fundraising effort to help family pets who are also victims of the flooding that followed Hurricane Harvey in the Houston area. “The storm has damaged so many homes,” said Sbiral. “Many have lost everything. In some cases, the only part of their old life they have is their pet. Now they are faced with the challenge of where they can stay with their pet and how they can afford to feed and keep their pet.” In the past several days, village employees have been collecting donations of items such as pet food and supplies, cleaning sup-

plies and cash. Many dropped off items during the Brookfield Farmers Market on Sept. 2 and staff continue to accept donations through Sept. 8 at village hall, 8820 Brookfield Ave. Anyone wishing to write a check should make it out to the Village of Brookfield, and write “Harvey Animals” on the memo line. As of Monday morning, Sbiral said, in addition to collecting about 1,000 items, the effort had raised about $6,000 in cash with another $2,000 pledged. Sbiral said the collection effort wasn’t meant to be a formal, tax-deductible fund-

raiser. Rather, the plan is to collect as much money and pet-related items as possible and then transport it to Texas. Money that’s donated will be used to purchase supplies or will be donated directly to Bunny Buddies of Houston and Houston SPCA, which is that city’s “largest animal protection organization and shelter,” according to the organization’s website. For more information on the types of items being collected, visit the village’s website at www.brookfieldil.gov and click the link “Village of Brookfield Helping Animals in Houston” on the home page. —Bob Uphues

Lyons-Brookfield Elementary School District 103 officials are considering adding a bus route to serve Lincoln School students who live north of Ogden Avenue. The bus service would be provided free of charge to students living north of Ogden Avenue, who have to cross the busy thoroughfare to get to Lincoln School, 4300 Grove Ave. in Brookfield. The school serves children who live in Lyons and Brookfield. But before adding a new bus route, District 103 officials are trying to find out how many students would take the bus. They sent out a questionnaire to families, but thus far have not received many responses. “We’ve only had a handful of responses,” said District 103 Superintendent Carol Baker. “We’re reaching out at this point and making some more personal contact.” Baker said that about 160 families in the Lincoln attendance area live north of Ogden, but only about a quarter of those families have children attending Lincoln School. “The issue is we want to make sure we have enough room on a bus, so we need a little more concrete information about num-

bers,” Baker said. Currently there is no bus service to Lincoln School. Baker said that it is possible a new bus would serve only Lincoln students or, if only a few kids would take the bus, a current bus route could be changed to also serve Lincoln School students. School board members have made it clear that they don’t want elementary school students to ride on the same bus as middle school students. Baker said that it would probably cost the district $250 to $300 a day to pay for a new bus route. Baker said that it is not clear how quickly the district’s bus company, First Student, would be able to add a new bus route. It is not easy for bus companies to hire bus drivers these days and would likely take some time, Baker said. Two parents at a recent school board meeting criticized First Student and the service it has provided in District 103 in the first two weeks of the school year. — Bob Skolnik

Brookfield staff face discipline over sign caper A trio of Brookfield Village Hall employees are in a bit of hot water after two of them allegedly took it upon themselves, on Aug. 11, to remove a vinyl banner outside a local tavern, which they concluded violated village codes. The employees, a woman and two men, whose names were not released by police, had been having drinks after work at Irish Times, 8869 Burlington Ave., after also reportedly having consumed alcohol during the outdoor concert at nearby Kiwanis Park earlier in the evening. As they left Irish Times about 11:20 p.m., according to a police report of the incident, the female employee remarked that a banner hanging outside the bar was in violation of village code. She and one of the men removed the banner, according to the police report, and began to walk away with it.

When confronted by a bouncer outside the bar, the employees dropped the sign and at least one of them began to run away. According to the police report, the employees were apologetic and a male employee stated he should have addressed any problems with the bar’s owner. No one was charged with a crime or issued any citations. Village Manager Keith Sbiral, who was not one of the employees involved in the incident, confirmed the incident, saying he contacted the village’s law firm the following Monday, and the employees would be disciplined. “I don’t think it’s a termination offense, but there will be serious discipline,” Sbiral said. “It’s embarrassing to me. This is not the most shining moment of village staff.” — Bob Uphues

Former RBHS principal up for national honor Baldermann one of three finalists for award

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Former Riverside-Brookfield High School Superintendent/Principal Jack Baldermann has been named one of three finalists for the national Principal of the Year award that is awarded annually by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Earlier this year Baldermann, who is now the principal at Westmont High School, was named Illinois High School Principal of Year by the Illinois High School Principals Association which made him eligible for the national award. After reviewing the winners in each state, a panel of judges selected Baldermann and principals from South Carolina and Georgia as the three finalists. Baldermann will go to Washington, D.C., this month for an interview, and the winner will be named at the association’s annual conference in October. “It feels great,” Baldermann said. “I think it’s a testament to what our team has done at Westmont. I’m very excited.” Baldermann was at RBHS for eight years and led the school to high rankings

He has made more than 300 presentations in 43 states and Canada according to a press release. The amount of work Baldermann did away from the building became an issue in his last year at RBHS. The National Association of Secondary School Principals lauded Baldermann for serving as a lead mentor to more than 40 principals in 14 states. Twenty-five people that Baldermann hired for their first administrative positions have become principals, including former RBHS science department chairman Troy Gobble, who is now the principal at Stevenson High School. Just last week Baldermann was in Arkansas working as a consultant. “It varies from school to school, but a lot of it has to do with school improvements and leadership and professional learning communities,” Baldermann said of his consulting and mentoring work. “Setting smart goals and trying to get people to work together and come together as a team.”

UNDERSTANDING THE CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE TAX CREDIT

he IRS urges people not to overlook the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. Eligible taxpayers may be able claim it if they paid for someone to care for a child, dependent or spouse last year. Taxpayers can use the IRS Interactive Tax Assistant tool, Am I Eligible to Claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit?, to help determine if they are eligible to claim the credit for expenses paid for the care of an individual to allow the taxpayer to work or look for work. Five other key points about this credit include: • Work-Related Expenses - The care must have been necessary so a person could work or look for work. For those who are married, the care also must have been necessary so a spouse could work or look for work. This rule does not apply if the spouse was disabled or a fulltime student. • Qualifying Person - The care must have been for “qualifying persons.” A qualifying person

can be a child under age 13. A qualifying person can also be a spouse or dependent who lived with the taxpayer for more than half the year and is physically or mentally incapable of self-care. • Earned Income - A taxpayer must have earned income for the year, such as wages from a job. For those who are married and file jointly, the spouse must also have earned income. Special rules apply to a spouse who is a student or disabled. • Credit Percentage / Expense Limits - The credit is worth between 20 and 35 percent of allowable expenses. The percentage depends on the income amount. Allowable expenses are limited to $3,000 for paid care of one qualifying person. The limit is $6,000 if the taxpayer paid for the care of two or more. • Dependent Care Benefits - Special rules apply for people who get dependent care benefits from their employer. Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, has more on these rules. File the form with a tax return.

Man charged with sexually assaulting Riverside girl A 55-year-old Cicero man is being held at Cook County jail after being charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old relative who lives in Riverside. John D. Amparan faces two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, a Class X felony that carries a prison sentence of up to 30 years, if convicted. In addition, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Amparan with two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony. “There is still much work to be done on this case and additional charges may be forthcoming in the future,” said Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel in a press release. Weitzel said detectives did 11 forensic interviews, collected medical records and talked to school personnel, neighbors, relatives and medical personnel during their investigation, which started Aug. 2, when the victim’s mother filed a complaint with local police. Police took Amparan into custody on Aug. 31 at a Berwyn business after receiving a call that he was “lurking” in the vicinity of the victim’s home. Amparan stayed periodically at the family’s Riverside home, but had moved from the residence prior to the complaint being lodged. According to police, Amparan has a criminal history that includes arrests for theft, domestic violence and drug offenses. Police also believe Amparan may have victimized others who live out of state. Local police are working with out-of-state police agencies as they continue their investigation. Weitzel praised the victim’s family for their cooperation during the investigation. “Their cooperation in this investigation played a vital role in bringing the offender into custody on what could only be described as serious criminal sexual assault and abuse charges,” Weitzel said. Weitzel added that Riverside police are working with the family to make sure they and the victim receive social services and follow-up care.

Job scam A 26-year-old North Riverside man said he was out more than $1,500, stiffed after doing five days of work and getting stuck with bank charges after depositing checks from his “employer” that ended up bouncing. The victim told police he’d answered an online ad for a personal driver that promised to pay $300 a day. The victim got the “job” on Aug. 14 and told police he would pick up a woman at a Residence Inn in Lombard and drive her about seven hours each day for five days. The woman wrote the victim a check at the end of each day.

On Aug. 17 the first check bounced, and when the victim confronted the woman, she said she would transfer funds and wrote him a new check. In the end, all of the checks written to the victim bounced because the bank account they were written against was not real, police said. The victim tried unsuccessfully to contact the woman, and went to police to report the matter on Aug. 28.

Residential burglary ■ Brookfield police reported what appeared to be three attempted home breakins on the village’s south end last week, but nothing appeared to have been taken from any of the residences. Police responded to a residence in the 4600 block of Deyo Avenue on Aug. 28 after the homeowner called to report that someone forced open the rear door to the home. The homeowner, who last saw the door secure around 6:50 a.m., found the door open and damaged when she came home about 5:10 p.m. The home was not ransacked and nothing appeared to be missing. On Aug. 31 about 11:45 p.m., a resident of the 4100 block of Prairie Avenue called to police to report what she believed to be a burglary in progress. The victim said she ran to hide in her bedroom after an unknown person kicked in the back door. Police arrived to find the back gate open and a side door open and damaged. Police could not locate any suspects inside the home or in the vicinity. Nothing inside the home appeared to have been tampered with. Then on the morning of Sept. 1, a resident of the 4300 block of Maple Avenue called police to report damage to her front door. No one gained entry to the home. The damage occurred sometime after 8 a.m. on Aug. 31, the homeowner told police. ■ A resident of the 8000 block of 26th Street in North Riverside contacted police on Aug. 29 to report that a Canondale Quick 2 men’s bicycle valued at about $1,000 was stolen from his garage sometime after 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 23. Police said there were no signs of forced entry to the garage.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Aug. 28-Sept. 1, 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.

Every building bleeds a song World’s Fair sensation Sally Rand once lived on Ogden Ave.

By JEFFERY C. JOHNSON

Contributing Reporter

n a sweltering 90-degree day in July of 1933, Superior Judge Joseph P. David sat behind the bench in a Chicago courtroom listening as attorney Jay J. McCarthy argued his case for his client. Mr. McCarthy was charging that performer Sally Rand, at that time the sudden and controversial star attraction at the Chicago “Century of Progress” World’s Fair, was performing an act that was “lewd and lascivious” and was a threat to public morality. Photo by Jeffery C. Johnson Miss Rand had been performing her risqué “fan dance” to huge crowds in the “Streets of Paris” section of the fair. The eight-minute act involved Miss Rand appearing to be nude (although she wore a body stocking) while dancing to Debussy’s Clair de Lune behind seven-foot ostrich feather fans that were strategically waved so as to offer a teasing glimpse of her body to the viewer.

Rand (above, right) appeared at Mangam’s Chateau in Lyons alongside Hollywood star Celeste Holm (center). The two took time out for a photo with Helen Mangam, the Chateau’s owner. At left, Sally Rand during her scandalous fandancing heyday in the 1930s.

She performed her signature dance with all of the precision and seduction that she had at the World’s Fair. Her shows there were a huge success, prompting her to return many times as she toured nightclubs throughout the country. Recently, on a muggy afternoon in August, I stopped to take a photo of an unsung structure set back from Ogden Avenue next to Cermak Woods, in Lyons. The small, unassuming apartment building at 7733 Ogden Ave. was where Sally Rand lived when she was performing at Mangam’s Chateau. It is also the place, the same apartment, some 50 years ago, where my parents had their first home with their new baby, me. “We moved in right after Sally Rand had lived there.” said my mother, Susan Johnson. “The telephone handset was caked with make-up and there were ostrich feathers in the closet.”

“We were on the second floor and had a balcony. I always thought it was a nice little apartment,” she added. “The rent was $140 a month, furnished!” As a photographer, I am intrigued by the history found in the fabric of our cities and towns. Not only does “every picture tell a story” but, within that fabric, I believe that every building tells a story. And every building, whether in its history, design, materials, or a combination of them all, contains a music that flows through the walls. I try to capture and interpret these buildings with photos and with words and unlock the music for others to hear. If you look around, on any given corner, there might be a building that still stands, famous or ordinary, that contains an interesting history to you whether it be public, personal or both. And the music that lives in a building, pulsing through the drywall or whispering in your ear when you stand near, continues to play decades, even centuries, later. Some quiet nights, if you listen very hard, you can hear the faint melancholy notes of Clair de Lune gently misting from Sally Rand’s apartment amongst the rustling trees in Cermak Woods. Jeffery C. Johnson, a resident of Berwyn, is currently working on a photography book titled Frozen Music: Chicago. See his work at jefferycjohnson.smugmug.com

A civil engineer with a degree from Southern Illinois University, she started her career as an engineer in the private sector, working for firms in northern Kentucky for eight years. In 2003, she was hired as assistant village engineer in Burr Ridge, where she got her first taste of municipal capital project planning and worked with the building department to review development proposals. Three year later she was hired as assistant city engineer in Lockport and in 2011 took on the role of acting city engineer until she was named director of engineering for the city in 2013. In Lockport, Wagner was responsible for creating the city’s multi-year capital improvement plan, secured more than $16 million in federal and state grants for capital projects, managed projects, and supervised

However, Riverside police enlisted the ATF to trace the weapons, because Rodallegas reportedly told police he bought the guns on the street because he needed them for protection. He also owned a bullet-proof vest, police said. Riverside police continue to investigate the burglary and are seeking a search warrant for

the alarm system’s video recordings from inside the apartment. Rodallegas, who has no prior criminal record, reportedly moved into the Riverside apartment in July. He previously lived in Cicero, according to police. He reportedly is free while awaiting trial after posting 10 percent of the $20,000 bond set by a Cook County judge.

The initial screening was done by the firm GovHR, the same firm that provided an interim administrator, retired Bartlett Village Manager Valerie Salmons, who served as a liaison between the public works department and village management from May through about mid-July. Salmons was paid about $17,000 during her time in Brookfield, according to village financial records. On Aug. 21, Sbiral brought the four finalists for the job in for a tour of the village and interviews with key staff members. On Aug. 22, each finalist interviewed individually with Sbiral, a representative from the search firm, and another staff member. Sbiral offered Wagner the job on Aug. 28. “She rose above the crowd with her knowledge of public works,” said Sbiral. “Her personality will mesh with the team we have here.”

Opinion KOSEY CORNER

THE LANDMARK VIEW

Fresh start

he past year has been a tumultuous one inside the Department of Public Works headquarters on the south end of Brookfield. Union employees clearly were unhappy with the way the department was being managed, and the sheer number of official grievances points to the low morale among some there. It was also clear that village management wasn’t thrilled with the way some employees were taking to new ideas for delivering services. Old habits die hard, and some of the newer ideas faced pushback from employees, to management’s exasperation. Four months ago, the situation became untenable. Following a village election in which the public works employees’ union for the first time in more than a decade became an active opponent of the village’s power structure, the department’s director was out. As of mid-September, there will be a new person in the director’s chair, and we hope that whatever personality conflicts were at the root of the former troubles, both management and employees will approach the future with open minds. The new director, Amy Wagner, has said she will personally talk to employees, hear their concerns and seek their solutions to problems. That kind of communication is critical and, we hope, ongoing. At the same time, employees have to realize that the way they operate may change and that change isn’t being done simply to make their lives more difficult, but to deliver important and expensive public works services to the residents of Brookfield who, after all, are the ones paying the bills. Now that a new director is in place, we’re also hopeful that village management and the Teamsters can negotiate a new contract that’s fair to taxpayers and employees. We’re looking forward to a new spirit of cooperation.

A pat on the back

Municipal employees take a lot of lumps from residents. Whenever there’s a complaint, someone at village hall is going to hear it and most of the time, they have to sit there and take it. It comes with the territory. So, here’s an opportunity for residents to give Brookfield village staff a pat on the back and at the same time make themselves feel good by doing a small part for flood relief in Texas. Last week, village staff began collecting items and cash donations to help animals affected by flooding in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Over the weekend, they had collected thousands of dollars and hundreds of items that will soon be trucked down to Houston to help that city deal with the raft of pets displaced and abandoned during the storm. The collection drive was a more-or-less spontaneous reaction to the overwhelming flooding and devastation in Texas, but it had an immediate effect on Brookfield residents, who stepped up to pitch in. If you’re interested in contributing, you can do so through the close of business on Friday, Sept. 8. For more info, you can see our story on page 3 or visit the village of Brookfield’s website at www.brookfieldil.gov.

Sounds of summer echo into fall

abor Day weekend is traditionally the last hurrah of summer. It’s the time to put the white shoes away, although fashionistas don’t -- it’s what my mother always said and did. The school bell has rung. Hello boys and girls to a new year of learning. However, I heard something the other day while in Brookfield that reminded me that the sounds of summer are not completely gone. It was the sound of the ice cream truck -- I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, remember? I hadn’t heard it in a long time. I remember knowing when the truck would wind down Selborne Road in Riverside when I was a child, and I was ready with my money. The driver drove slowly because he knew which streets had children living there, so he was cautious. He didn’t want to hit one of his customers. Most of the time it was a Good Humor truck. The driver wore white and looked exceptionally clean. As we got older, we seemed to like to say things to him that we

thought were funny to see if he really had “good humor.” Get it? We knew the menu and had our favorites -Creamsicles, the malted ice cream bars; everything was good. Think I’ll go back to Brookfield and wait for the ice cream truck; I’ll have my dollars ready. Another once familiar sight was the knife sharpener, who would wheel his cart down the street. His cart’s bells could be heard from a block away, which was good for those who needed knives and scissors sharpened. But the sound of the approaching cart meant I would run into the house. The reason? My brother and his friends told me it was the boogey man, and I believed it. To this day when I hear that sound I get a bit tense. Consequently, I have had some dull knives. But now can go to the Riverside Farmers Market to get those keen blades. Other good summer sounds? Kids on baseball fields, the screams as people jumping into pools trying to do a cannon ball and laughter. Good Humor bar would really taste good right now.

Mail clerk goes above and beyond I am writing to express my admiration for North Riverside mail clerk, Jamaul, who exhibited an extraordinary act of kindness. While waiting to have my package weighed and stamped for delivery, I observed an elderly woman with a cane, trying to enter the North Riverside Post Office. She was trying to balance herself with the cane, while holding a large box. Jamaul excused himself and ran to assist the woman with her box. He took the box, held the door and escorted the lady into the post office. He completed my mailing; then he went to the lady’s car to bring in more packages for her. Needless to say, I was most impressed. The display of extraordinary manners is not common in today’s world. I want to recognize Jamaul’s attention, kindness and patience. He deserves credit for going above and beyond his ordinary duties.

President Trump needs to grow up All presidents are subject to attacks, recall President Obama and President George H.W. Bush if you need current examples. The attacks on Jefferson and Adams are well documented for historical reference. It is civil discourse that we need, not a politician that does not know how to withstand, overcome and/or ignore attacks or people who disagree with him. It comes with the territory as the leader of the free world. We might curb our vitriol if President Trump would set an example as other leaders do on a daily basis. Teachers know that students make fun of them, deride them, often times when a teacher is trying their hardest. He/she is too enthusiastic about the subject they teach so he/she is called a nerd, obnoxious or much worse. The teacher is not expected to get down to the student level. They set examples of how one should act in a civil society. It would be a travesty if all teachers acted as if they were one step closer to a bar fight when confronting students. It is rather juvenile to equate political correctness with anything other

than civility, politeness, inclusion, decency, and concern for others’ feelings. Would you use foul language, call people names, and/or ridicule them if you were trying to sell them something? Adults should have learned to distinguish between casual conversation and the importance of the president of the United States to be respectful. Respect the office of the president, get the chip off your shoulder, be a man, a leader and a role model, not a school bully, Mr. Trump; grow up. Independent fact checkers and videotape prove President Trump is not “simply telling it like it is.” He tells lies, contradicts himself, is rude and self-serving. It is up to the people to expose him. Participatory government includes these investigations. If people think we should act and speak like the lowest common denominator in our society, we need to re-examine what civility is and what people’s priorities should be. Ask students at RB. They can tell you that character counts.

HOUST0N

5 years of rain, 3 days from page 1 floor, and the water kept rising. Kuratko, his wife Rena and his two teenage daughters, Madison and Katie, each grabbed a suitcase full of belongings and they waded outside into waist-deep water. “It was pitch black,” Kuratko said. “The water was even darker.” And it was still raining, like it had been since the winds howled into the neighborhood early on Aug. 26. There was so much rain – Kuratko said that between Aug. 26 and Aug. 29 the area had gotten 54 inches – that on Aug. 27 officials released water from a reservoir located north of the neighborhood. That sealed the residents’ fate. “That water came to us,” Kuratko said. “The streets became rivers, and it didn’t stop.” The rain finally let up at 9 p.m. on Aug. 29, and Kuratko caught his first glimpses of blue sky the next morning. “We got five years of rainfall in three and a half days,” he said. Kuratko called the family’s roughly 100yard escape from their home “surreal.” After at first resisting Kuratko’s efforts, the family Labrador paddled alongside while one of Kuratko’s daughters held her pet hedgehog aloft. Rena, Madison and Katie were in tears, Ken said, as they gingerly waded toward higher ground. “That was when I just tried not to lose it,” Kuratko said. As of Sept. 4, Labor Day, the Kuratkos were still staying with friends, but they were able to get back into their home to survey the damage and begin the clean-up on Friday. Ken’s brother, Brian, and a childhood friend, Michael Cecconi, arrived Monday to pitch in. Rebuilding will take months, said Kuratko, and will cost about $150,000. His insurance company, Allstate, has informed the family its homeowners insurance won’t cover the damage. “I called my agent and he said, ‘You’re getting nothing,” Kuratko said. “They’re helping no one in Texas.”

The family plans to live on the second floor of their home while they rebuild, a process they expect to take nine months, since they have to do it in stages, as funds allow. The family has removed four-foot high sections of drywall from the entire first floor. They lost all of their appliances, flooring, cabinets, fixtures and much of their furniture. Like most neighbors, the debris sits in mountainous piles on their front lawn, waiting to be hauled away. The couple’s two high school age daughters have also learned that their school will be closed – for the entire school year. Exactly where, how and when they will get to school remains unclear. The people who are helping, said Rena Kuratko, who is also a Riverside native, are neighbors. The Red Cross and other relief agencies haven’t made it to the neighborhood. One woman, whose home was spared flooding, has been serving as the unofficial mess sergeant for neighbors, delivering meals every day. “The spirit of the people here is incredible,” said Ken. “It’s not like we’ve had friends here for decades. It been six or eight months, but they took us in as if they’re family.” “One of the errors we probably made is that we were just not as prepared as we should have been,” he added. “We never expected to be leaving our house.” Kuratko works in downtown Houston, and said his corporate office was “completely flooded out.” Core systems were being relocated to Dallas and he estimated that it could be weeks before the downtown office will be up and running again. “We’re trying to work remotely,” he said. Brian Kuratko, has started a GoFundMe page (www.gofundme.com/kingwoodhurricanerelieffund), asking for donations to help not only Ken’s family, but the rest of the neighbors in the subdivision, almost all of whom are in the same predicament. So far, the effort has raised almost $10,000. “This is a very overwhelming situation -leaving them feeling helpless on how to begin the process of starting over,” Brian Kuratko wrote in his plea for donations. The campaign seeks to raise $100,000, and the money will be distributed “directly with the impacted residents of Kings Point Cove neighborhood.”

No place like new home for Bulldogs RBHS girls tennis off to fast start on new home courts BY MARTY FARMER

Sports Editor

fter having home practices and matches at the Oak Brook Tennis Center the past two years, the Riverside-Brookfield High School girls tennis team has finally found its home. The Bulldogs debuted their shiny, new tennis courts, located directly west of the Kennelly Athletic Complex, last week in auspicious fashion with a pair of dual match wins against Addison Trail (5-1) and Aurora Central Catholic (4-2). RBHS also defeated Trinity 5-0 at River Forest’s Keystone Park in its season opener and placed first at the Elk Grove Village Quad. “Having brand new courts at RB is indescribable,” said No. 1 singles/team captain Ava Collins. “Our first practice back at RB was an experience that I’m very happy I was able to share with my team and coaches. We are very grateful for the courts and are happy to be home.” While there are a few glitches still to be smoothed out, the feeling of having new courts has served the Bulldogs well.

“There have been some growing pains with the new courts,” RBHS coach Bob Hegner said. “Of course, having our own home courts is great. It just makes everything

easier and more comfortable. “Most of our players are off to good starts with a 4-1 or 3-1 record. We have played well in both singles and doubles.”

Along with fellow seniors Radoslava Pribyl Pierdinock and Jane Frank, Collins comprises a trio of talented, experienced players eager to assume leadership roles for the Bulldogs. “Ava has really grown as a player during her time in the [RBHS] program,” RBHS coach Bob Hegner said. “A lot her improvement is due to her father, who has really helped develop her as a player.” Pribyl Pierdinock returns at second singles this fall, while Frank is praised by Hegner for her versatility. The latter can play No. 3 singles or No. 1 or No. 2 doubles depending on the matchup. “The good thing about our team is that we have several players doing well after our three most seasoned players,” Hegner said. “At the Elk Grove Quad, our No. 1 doubles team of Kathe Pribyl Pierdinock and Giulia DiMarco took first place and everybody else each took second place.” Despite little to no varsity experience, an infusion of newcomers including Rocio Diaz, Sara Dorenbros, Josephine Jacobs and Grace Taber have energized the lineup. Noami Galindo and Erin Richards comprise the rest of the RBHS varsity roster.

Collins has been impressed by the attitude and contributions from her new varsity teammates. “I always enjoy seeing new girls join the team each year,” Collins said. “We have a larger group of girls on our job team than in past years which is exciting. “We have a great group of girls this year who are enthusiastic and respect each other. Our varsity lineup is stacked with mostly new varsity members. These girls are eager to play their best and represent RB.” The Bulldogs’ next home match is against Walther Christian on Thursday, Sept 7 at 4:30 p.m. RBHS also hosts Romeoville (Sept. 11) and Glenbard South (Sept. 21) with 4:30 p.m. start times. The Bulldogs host their RB Invite on Saturday, Sept 23 on the campus of Morton West High School. Matches begin at 8 a.m. Although many matches remain this season, Hegner is excited about the team’s promising start. “I mentioned to the girls a quote by John Steinbeck that says, ‘A boy becomes a man when a man is needed.’” Hegner said. “That’s kind of how I feel about our players. An RB girls tennis player becomes a varsity player when a varsity player is needed. You always hear about teams being young, but I want to see our players step up to the challenge of being on the varsity.”

They’re aggressive coaches who care most about winning which the guys appreciate.” As the 2017 football season moves to Week 2, O’Laughlin and his teammates won’t soon forget last year’s controversial postseason ending against Plainfield North often referred to as the “Travesty at Triton.” In fact, the players are using it as a source of motivation this fall. “We’re very prepared to handle it,” O’Laughlin said about possible taunting at road games this season. “We learned a lot from last year’s seniors.

RBHS girls swimming wins opener Bulldogs boast depth, versatility in lineup this season BY MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

The Riverside-Brookfield High School girls swimming team topped host Hinsdale South 110-60 in the Bulldogs’ season opener this season on Thursday, Aug. 31. The 200-yard medley relay of sophomore Sarah Strubbe, freshman Madeline Wenig, junior Veronica Cariveau and sophomore Claire Kawiecki opened the dual meet with a win. In fact, RBHS won 9 of 11 events against the Hornets. Individual race winners included Chloe Marello (500

freestyle), Wenig (100 breaststroke, 200 individual medley), Sophie Bruno (200 freestyle), Cariveau (50 freestyle), Kawiecki (100 butterfly) and Strubbe (100 backstroke). “Our main focus right now is to put in some good work at the beginning so we can be more competitive at the end of year meets,” RBHS coach Michael Laurich said. “We just missed third place at sectionals [in 2016] on a really incredible performance by the girls. “We think we will be better and that is what we are working towards. We are already doing more work at this time than last year and some great efforts are being seen in practice.”

way [quarterback] Jacob Keller handled the taunting during basketball season was impressive. Seeing him respond with composure taught me a lesson in life on how to react when people try to throw you off your game. I think we’ll use the taunting as fuel to our fire this season.” The Friars would love to win a state title in football and share it with last year’s seniors. “That would be amazing and something I definitely thought about during the offseason,” O’Laughlin said. “I didn’t think it was fair for last year’s seniors to go out with such a tough loss. Seeing all of them devastated made me sad. O’Laughlin added: “If we can win this year’s state title, it would be not only for us and the school, but for all the guys in the great Class of 2017 as well.” For all their hard work, the Bulldogs are keeping practice fun, too, with the occasional weight room dance party included in the team schedule. Last season, RBHS went 5-5 in dual meets and finished fourth in conference and at sectionals. With the exception of standout 500 free swimmer Julia Keller (graduated in 2017), the Bulldogs return the majority of the

starting lineup. “Julia will be missed on relays,” Laurich said. “We return three of four swimmers from our medley and 400 free relays, and the entire 200 free relay team is back. “With a large freshman class that has some experience, they will be pushing the upper classes for spots at the end of the year, which should make the relays that much better.”
