endy Snyder has always been a talker. When she was in kindergarten at Hollywood School in 1968, she was constantly being sent to the quiet chair for taking too much in class. It continued throughout elementary school. She typically got good grades but was often given a D in deportment, because she was so chatty. So perhaps it is only fitting that Snyder now is paid to talk on the radio. She has worked on various Chicago radio stations, first as a rock DJ, for the past 34 years. Snyder currently cohosts the 10 a.m. to noon slot on WGN Radio with her longtime radio partner, Bill Leff. On Sept. 21, Snyder and four other Riverside-Brookfield High School graduates will receive the school’s Alumni Achievement Medal and be honored by Riverside-Brook-

A crew digging up a section of Bloomingbank Road in Riverside to install a new sewer line on Sept. 14 unearthed human skeletal remains that could date back to before the development of the village. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed on Tuesday that the remains were “human and likely very old.” “We have requested an anthropology consultation, which will aim to determine the age of the bones and more information about who they belonged to,” said Becky Schlikerman, spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office, in an email. In the meantime, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which issued a permit for the work, has indefinitely suspended work on Bloomingbank Road.

As temperatures cool down and locals try to savor the last of the season’s nice days and outdoor events, Brookfield’s annual Fine Arts Festival is prepping to once again bring the community together to share in shopping, food and fellowship. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23, the village and the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce will host the eighth annual event at Kiwanis Park, 8820 Brookfield Ave. With 25 local artists participating, Abby Brennan, event coordinator and owner of Brookfield’s Brennan Massage and Spa, promises a day filled with art the entire family will enjoy. “There will be lots of painters, jewelry, pottery, fibers and art for children,” she said. In tune with the fest’s reputation for featuring eclectic artwork, one artist coming out for the first time will be Nathan Freed, of Hinsdale, selling hand-painted canvas shoes. Freed, whose artwork has been featured in the Chicago Tribune and on Windy City Live, will be selling his canvas shoes, with everything from Chicago sports logos to cartoon characters and funky geometric shapes. “I took art classes through high school [and] it’s not really the route I expected to go when I was in college, but kind of where the chips fell,” said Freed, who graduated with a degree in statistics from the University of Missouri in 2015. Freed, who began painting on inexpensive shoes purchased at Walmart, first gained a following in the area a few years ago after selling Chicago Blackhawksthemed shoes on Facebook. Eventually,

CHALK IT UP: The Brookfield fine Arts Fest will once again include a sidewalk chalk art contest, in addition to the opportunity to buy one-of-a-kind items such the hand-painted shoes by Hinsdale artist Nathan Freed (lower left). he invested all the money he made from sales to purchase his own canvas shoe line called Sole Feet. “It’s artwork you can wear,” he said. “It’s a conversation starter and the outfit starts with the shoes if you ask me, so I think it’s the perfect booth to check out.” The shoes, which feature one-of-a-kind designs and are water-repellant, will be on sale for $60. Freed said a portion of proceeds will go to No Kid Hungry, a national organization dedicated to combating childhood hunger. Throughout the day as guests walk through the park, they can also enjoy musical entertainment from the RiversideBrookfield High School jazz ensemble, children’s songs and dancing from Clara D’Onofrio of Ms. Clara’s Joyful Learning Center and performances by young musicians from A Sound Education music school. Further jazz performances will be brought to audiences by Wheaton-based band ZAZZ. For adults, BuckleDown Brewing of Lyons will be sponsoring craft beer and Joe’s

Saloon of Brookfield will have wine tasting. And, to satisfy those appetites worked up while shopping, Big Mama’s Kitchen & Catering food truck from Chicago will be serving up jerk chicken tacos, burgers, nachos and other comfort food favorites. Food and drink will be available for purchase with wristbands at the event. And, once again, there will be a bringyour-own-chalk sidewalk art contest from noon to 2 p.m. Participants of all ages will be provided a sidewalk square to decorate and cash prizes will be awarded to the top three winners -- $100 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third. Those wanting to sign up may contact Brennan at 708255-5335. Like each Brookfield Fine Arts Fest of the past, Brennan promises attendees a fun-filled time. “It’s good to support local artists, start on some early Christmas shopping, find something for your own home, an opportunity to bring your kids out [and] just to enjoy the day with family and friends,” she said.

District 208 chief in line for new 5-year contract School board votes 6-0 to approve new deal, which awaits Skinkis’ signature

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

It looks as if Superintendent Kevin Skinkis is going to be at Riverside-Brookfield High School for quite a bit longer. At its Sept. 12 meeting, the District 208 Board of Education voted 6 to 0 to give Skinkis a five-year contract extension when his current four-year deal expires next year. By law, five-years is the longest contract that can be given to a school administrator in Illinois. Final language and details are being prepared by lawyers for Skinkis and the district, but the essential terms of the contract have been agreed to. “My intent is to sign it,” Skinkis said. Skinkis, who is currently earning $201,288 in base salary, will receive a 4-percent raise next July to bring his salary up to $209,300 for the 2018-19 fiscal year. For the final four years of his contract, Skinkis’ base salary will increase by 90 percent of the increase of the consumer price index. Skinkis, like other administrators at RBHS, will also have the opportunity to earn bonuses if various goals are met.

The new contract is a measure teachers and parents at RBHS. of the high regard the school Some feel that his focus is on board has for Skinkis. finances above education.

NR Library again without a director Rush opens children’s health Less than a year into her job as director of the North Riverside Public Library, Lorene Kennard has resigned and library officials are faced with hiring their third director since 2014. That search won’t begin for a few months, said Annette Corgiat, president of the North Riverside Public Library District’s board. In the meantime, the library board has tapped Marilyn Boria to serve as interim director. Boria, who retired after 27 years as director of the Elmhurst Public Library in 2011, signed on in North Riverside at the beginning of September. Since her retirement, Boria has become something of a library troubleshooter. She’s served as interim library director in Berwyn, Forest Park, Geneva, Sugar Grove and Carol Stream, often coming in on the heels of controversy in order to calm the waters. According to Corgiat, Boria works part time in North Riverside, and she will serve in the interim capacity for roughly the next six months. The library

board has not yet posted a job notice seeking a new director. The circumstances surrounding Kennard’s departure aren’t completely clear and attempts to reach her prior to press time were unsuccessful. Corgiat said the decision to leave North Riverside was Kennard’s and that her resignation came as a surprise. Although Kennard reportedly offered to stay for two weeks, after announcing in late August her intention to leave, the library board decided to cut the cord immediately. The library board hired Kennard in November 2016 to replace Ted Bodewes, who left to take on the director’s role at the Thomas Ford Memorial Library in Western Springs. Prior to North Riverside, Kennard was director of the Morris Area Public Library. Her tenure there included a bit of controversy: She drew a public protest for firing a children’s librarian who’d been at that library for 40 years. That employee was later reinstated by the library board.

The timing of Kennard’s departure was difficult because two recent staff resignations — longtime adult services librarian John Zmola retired at the end of June and a secretary resigned to pursue a full-time position elsewhere — left the library short-handed. On Sept. 18, the library board moved to shore up the organization by creating two new hybrid positions and hiring people to staff them. Brittany Musial, who had been working part time in the Youth Services Department, has been promoted to the newly created job of teen/tween librarian and head of technical services. Meanwhile, the library board has also decided to create the post of assistant library director. On Sept. 18, Susan Locander, the library’s longtime head of youth services, was named assistant library director. She remains the head of youth services. In taking on the new role, Locander was also given a 5 percent salary raise by the library board. —Bob Uphues

CHOOSING THE CORRECT FILING STATUS

hen taxpayers file their tax return, it’s important they use the right filing status because it can affect the amount of tax they owe for the year. It may even determine if they must file a tax return at all. Taxpayers should keep in mind that their marital status on Dec. 31 is their status for the whole year. Sometimes more than one filing status may apply to taxpayers. When that happens, taxpayers should choose the one that allows them to pay the least amount of tax. Here’s a list of the five filing statuses: • Single - Normally this status is for taxpayers who aren’t married, or who are divorced or legally separated under state law. • Married Filing Jointly - If taxpayers are married, they can file a joint tax return. If a spouse died in 2016, the widowed spouse can often file a joint return for that year. • Married Filing Separately - A married couple can choose to file two separate tax

returns. This may benefit them if it results in less tax owed than if they file a joint tax return. Taxpayers may want to prepare their taxes both ways before they choose. They can also use this status if each wants to be responsible only for their own tax. • Head of Household - In most cases, this status applies to a taxpayer who is not married, but there are some special rules. For example, the taxpayer must have paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for themselves and a qualifying person. Don’t choose this status by mistake. Be sure to check all the rules. • Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child - This status may apply to a taxpayer if their spouse died during 2014 or 2015 and they have a dependent child. Other conditions also apply.

Police responded to Kiwanis Park in Brookfield on the afternoon of Sept. 16 after the parents of three boys, ages 8 and 9, had gone missing. The parents told police the boys were playing in “the woods” along Salt Creek about 3:25 p.m., but were now missing and couldn’t be found. Police broadcast the names and descriptions of the children on the police radio and officers split up to search the woods along Kiwanis Park from north to south. A short time later a Brookfield police officer located the boys, unharmed but covered in mud, under the Washington Avenue Bridge. The boys told the officer they were looking for frogs along the riverbank. Police reunited the boys with their parents, who told officers that “they would address the situation appropriately,” according to the police report.

Riverside police charged a 17-year-old Berwyn boy with possession of a stolen motor vehicle after an incident involving a 19-yearold Berwyn woman at Indian Gardens on the afternoon of Sept. 14. The boy reportedly drove away with the woman’s car after what police described as a sexual encounter in the backseat of the vehicle. The woman had halted the sex act and got out of the vehicle. The boy then drove away from the scene, according to the police report. The woman ran to a house across the street to report the stolen vehicle and ended up being transported to the hospital by paramedics after passing out. She reportedly suffers from a heart condition. Police located the vehicle at McDonald’s on Ogden Avenue in Lyons and detained the Berwyn boy. In addition to possession of a stolen motor vehicle, he was charged with domestic battery and possession of cannabis. The same two people were caught in the midst of a sex act in Indian Gardens in April, according to the police report.

Riverside Foods gets Riverside’s first facade grant Store’s exterior will be repainted, sign lit By BOB UPHUES Editor

After going almost nine months without any takers, the village of Riverside will hand out its first-ever façade improvement grant to a downtown Riverside business. On Sept. 14, the Riverside Economic Development Commission voted unanimously to approve the grant application submitted last month by Peter Boutsikakis and Jerry Garbis of Riverside Foods, 48 E. Burlington St. The owners of the longtime downtown Riverside anchor business are planning an exterior makeover for both the south and west facades, including repairs to the stucco, painting and new lighting to illuminate the Burlington Avenue façade’s sign. “This is something we wanted to get rolling for a number of years,” said Boutsikakis in a phone interview, “but it always get pushed behind.” The Riverside Village Board’s decision last year to earmark $30,000 for a new façade im-

REMAINS

Work halted from page 1 to send an archaeologist to examine the trench where the bones were discovered. “We’re awaiting final disposition from the Army Corps,” Bailey said. The Army Corps’ permit reportedly noted that the work area lay within the aboriginal homeland of several Native-American tribes and that if any human remains were discovered, the village was to contact the Army Corps. Village Engineer Orion Galey said the crew was excavating a section of Bloomingbank Road around 1 p.m. in order to install a new sewer pipe that’s part of the storm sewer separation project underway all summer in the First Division. Galey said the area had never been excavated previously, except to lay the road back in 1870. Crews dug down about six feet and uncovered the bones, which police, responding to the scene, said appeared to be human. Police Chief Thomas Weitzel said the remains included part of a skull, a jawbone with teeth in it, a pelvis and what appeared to be arm and leg bones. Because the remains were believed to be human, Riverside police had to treat the discovery as a death investigation and called out a detective from the west suburban Major Crimes Task Force forensic unit, which

provement grant program in the 2017 budget was the impetus for getting the work done, Boutsikakis said. “The grant program was the turnkey to get this rolling,” he said. Plans submitted to the village’s building department indicate that the exterior will be painted a sage green, though Boutsikakis said he was open to other colors. “I just wanted to do something engaging,” he said. For now the five silver gooseneck lights will illuminate the sign that’s been on the front of the business since the mid-1980s. But that sign won’t be there much longer, according to Boutsikakis, who said replacing the sign will be the second phase of façade improvement, probably in 2018. Boutsikakis said present plans called for the new sign to be fabricated from brushed aluminum. If the village board decides to continue the grant program next year, Riverside Foods’ owners could submit an application for anoth-

Projects deemed worthy by the Economic Development Commission are eligible for half of the cost of the improvement up to a maximum of $5,000. The project proposed by Riverside Foods is estimated to cost about $13,300, so the business will be reimbursed $5,000 for the work

after it is completed. Individual businesses are eligible for lifetime maximum grant awards of $10,000. Business owners must contribute at least $500 for a project to be eligible for the grant. Boutsikakis said he expects the phase one façade improvements to be completed this fall.

cal Examiner’s Office. The village shut down work on the excavation for the remainder of the afternoon, and has done no other work in the area since that time. There’s only about 30 to 40 feet of pipe left to be laid on Bloomingbank Road, Galey said. Exactly when work might resume is unclear, but it could be weeks. In the meantime, construction crews are wrapping up pavement patching and other restoration work in other areas of the First Division.

wives in the area. “[Frederick Law] Olmsted [who laid out the General Plan of Riverside] named the area Indian Gardens because when he came in 1868, it was known as an Indian burial ground,” Guardi said. In 1832, according to the book Riverside Then and Now, General Winfield Scott led an expedition during the Black Hawk War, during which his troops camped on Laughton’s land in the First Division. Guardi said U.S. Army records indicated some of Scott’s troops, which were ravaged by cholera during the expedition, died and were buried in Riverside. It’s not the first time a construction project has unearthed human bones in the First Division. Around 1980, a human skeleton was unearthed during a fire hydrant replacement project, according to a Suburban Life article from July 22, 2000. The Riverside Historical Commission preserved the bones for two decades before turning them over to the Riverside Police Department. Deputy Police Chief William Gutschick was an evidence technician at that time, and it became his job to find the appropriate state agency to test the bones. Gutschick drove the remains down to Springfield, where scientists were able to carbon-date some wood, presumably from a coffin also found with the bones, to the early 1800s. A state report, said Gutschick, determined the bones belonged to an early settler, since Native Americans were not buried in coffins.

Riverside-Brookfield High School signals intent to issue bonds Homeowners could see modest hike in property taxes By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

The Riverside-BrookfieldHigh School District 208 Board of Education voted unanimously last week to approve a resolution stating their intent to issue $3 million in working cash bonds this fall. But 2,053 registered voters can force a vote on the issue in the March 2018 primary election by signing a petition to require a referendum on whether to sell the bonds. RBHS officials want to borrow $3 million, because they want to try to work out a deal with the Brookfield Zoo and Cook County to give RBHS exclusive control of the ball fields just north of the school. The fields are owned by Cook County and are used for overflow parking by the zoo. District 208 Superintendent Kevin Skinkis hopes to work out a deal with Cook County officials, probably a long-term lease, so that RBHS can use the fields without worrying that the zoo will preempt use of the fields by parking cars on the field as they do now on days when the zoo’s south parking lot is filled. A few years ago, Skinkis had discussions about paying for the zoo to improve a gravel

parking lot now used by zoo employees in exchange for giving RBHS use of the softball and baseball fields next to the school. Those discussions were put on hold a few years ago while District 208 and the village of Brookfield fought in court about the new parking lot for the school. Now that issue has been resolved and the new parking lot is completed. “The idea would competition fields for baseball and softball, lower level soccer, possibly lacrosse,” Skinkis said. Adding $3 million to the working cash fund would also provide a cushion that school officials would like to have just in case the state of Illinois shifts the employer portion of teacher pension costs to local school districts. “There’s a lot of uncertainty about what’s going to happen with the pensions,” said District 208 school board member Tim Walsh. District 208 is projected to end the 2018 fiscal year with reserves of about $13.8 million, which is just over half of its operating budget, red a healthy level. But Skinkis said selling working cash bonds is preferable to drawing down the reserves. “There’s no way to really build back up

those reserves, so you wouldn’t want to necessarily tap into those reserves,” Skinkis said. Skinkis said that bolstering the working cash fund makes sense now with the district facing financial challenges and uncertainty over the next few years. “We know that we have several teachers over the next eight or nine years that will be retiring,” Skinkis said. “If we can help keep everything in line and control the deficits and control our spending, that should help the district stay financially stable for the next 10 to 15 years.” The district will save money this fall by refinancing bonds issued in 2007, which financed the expansion and renovation of RBHS after a successful referendum in 2006. District 208 also plans to sell $2 million in life-safety bonds this fall. If the district refinances the 2007 bonds and sells $5 million in new bonds, the additional property tax burden to the owner of a home worth $350,000 is projected to be about $35 a year for the next 10 years. If the district chooses to pay back the life-safety and working cash bonds in seven years instead of 10, the yearly cost to tax-

payers would increase to about $60 a year. Anyone wishing to force a referendum has 30 days to gather petition signatures. Petitions seeking to force a referendum must be turned into the district office by no later than Oct. 20. Ten percent of the registered voters residing in District 208, or 2,053 voters, must sign a petition to force a referendum. Petition forms are available at the district office or on the district’s website. In 2008, RBHS sold $5 million in working cash bonds after a petition drive failed. A three-person electoral board, which included two school board members, ruled that proponents of the referendum did not submit enough valid signatures; 69 signatures were ruled invalid. The school board will hold a public hearing on the proposed bonds issuances on Oct. 10. The board will probably vote to issue the bonds at its Oct. 24 meeting. Some board members said that if a deal could not be worked out with the zoo they would favor abating some or all of the working cash bond proceeds, saying that they do not want to use the $3 million to fund general operating expenses of the district.

RBHS board passes deficit budget for 2017-18 Superintendent hopeful numbers will balance by next June

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

jected deficit. If the operating budget ends up in the red it will be the first time District 208 has run an operating deficit in Skinkis’ seven years as superintendent. Spending for teachers and other certified staff is increasing by nearly 5 percent this year, mostly due to contractually mandated salary increases. Three new teaching positions were added this year, costing about $210,000 in a move to decrease class sizes. Special education transportation costs are projected to increase by about 10 percent, and operations and maintenance repair costs are projected to increase by nearly $22,000, or just over 23 percent. The overall budget projects a total deficit of nearly $2.9 million largely, because of spending nearly $2.7 million on life-safety and capital projects, such as replacing significant portions of the school’s roof and building a new parking lot and new tennis courts.

Last week the Riverside-Brookfield High School District 208 Board of Education approved a budget that projects a small operating deficit. The board voted 6 to 1 at its Sept. 12 meeting to approve a budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year that projects an operating deficit of $326,069. Wes Smithing, who was elected to the board in April, cast the only vote against approving the budget. “I’m not in favor of deficit spending,” Smithing said. However, Smithing said that he didn’t have any specific suggestions for where money should be cut from the budget. “I don’t know if I’m educated enough on the budget to tell you what to cut right now,” Smithing said. “I don’t have any ideas for that. We’ve got to change how we’re doing business.” Board member John Keen cast The budget projects the disa reluctant vote for the budget, trict’s cash balance decreasing saying that if deficits continue to about $13.8 million as of June the administration should exKEVIN SKINKIS 30, 2018 from the nearly $16.7 plore cost saving measures such D208 superintendent million cash balance the district as reducing the number of classheld at the start of the fiscal es the school offers. year.

ooks that delve into Riverside’s history often focus on life after the formation of the Riverside Improvement Company, Frederick Law Olmsted’s contribution to the design and notable architecture that made the village a sylvan retreat for Chicago’s elite back in the 1870s. But people were here before Olmsted walked the banks of the river and designed the village’s meandering roadways and lush parks. Prior to the first white settlers arriving around 1830, Native American tribes called the area home for centuries. The area near the Des Plaines River south of the railroad tracks served as hunting grounds and, apparently, as a burial ground. That reality hit home last week when a sewer construction crew unearthed very old human remains near the river along Bloomingbank Road. It’s uncertain just who that person was — an early settler, a Native American, a former soldier with Winfield Scott’s army. The Army Corps of Engineers and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office say they are going to do more testing and research. Opportunities to find out more about just who lived here almost two centuries ago are rare, so we hope that enough additional work is done to determine, as much as possible, whose remains were uncovered. And maybe this could spark additional research on Native American activity in this part of Riverside. A gateway to the past is literally beneath our feet.

Setting course

It’s been a rough couple of years for the North Riverside Public Library District. In addition to suffering a referendum defeat that let the air out of a proposed long-term capital maintenance plan, the library has had three directors in the past three years — the latest bowing out unexpectedly at the end of the summer. In addition, the loss of a couple of other key staffers has laid down a challenge to the library board to tighten up the library’s administrative structure, including creating an assistant director position and filling the role with a longtime department head who knows how things — like the payroll system — operate. In addition, the library board has reached out to a veteran library director to serve as an interim while they hammer out a job description for the new hire. So despite the sudden loss of another director, it seems like the library board has worked quickly to steady the day-to-day administration of the facility. Here’s hoping the search for a new director reveals a candidate who will fit well in North Riverside and provide the stable leadership the organization deserves.

Ready for high school reunion season

ull out that old high school yearbook and get ready to shake those pompons, because it is reunion time. Traditionally, the events are coordinated with “homecoming,” when alumni return to their alma mater to reunite with friends and tell what has happened in their lives since leaving the hallowed halls. Many stories to tell, some true and some not so true. Having attended Nazareth Academy, then an all-girl school, homecoming was not quite the same. Classes tended to have luncheons; they were a bit subdued but many of those lunches lasted way into the evening hours. I did have the benefit of having many friends at RB who included me in many things, and so I learned the fine art of putting crepe paper into chicken wire to make floats for the homecoming parade, another tradition gone by the wayside. I sometimes wonder if today’s students understand what homecoming was intended to be. Football games were held on Saturday afternoon, with a pep rally the night before where the homecoming king and queen and their court were named. Wonder if I would have

been named to the court? Most people can remember the name of their homecoming queen, not so much the king, Bunny Booster was queen in 1960 -- and with that name who could forget her? I’m not sure what she is up to today, but Shelly Mizaur Shepherd, RBHS homecoming queen of 1986, is the information and education program manager Arizona Game and Fish Department in Flagstaff, Arizona. Who would have thought that in 1986? This year, there will be a reunion of the RBHS classes 1956, ‘57 and ‘59, the idea being that you were friends with students from other years and not just your own. The groups will get together on Saturday, Sept. 23 at P.J. Klems Restaurant in Lyons at 6 p.m. Contact Judy West Jisa at 708-267-1796 to learn more. I understand Elvis will be in the house. I don’t remember him from RBHS. Review that yearbook, so you will remember those you will encounter and, of course, you haven’t changed a bit from high school, at least that’s what I like to tell myself. Oil of Olay, the right makeup and good lighting may help pull it off. Ah, those memories never to be forgotten.

Riverside chiefs: We’ll continue to use Narcan I am writing today to set the record straight about why the Riverside Police Department utilizes Naloxone, commonly referred to as Narcan. On Sept. 10, the Riverside police and fire departments responded to a home in Riverside for a heroin overdose. In this case, police officers arrived on the scene first at approximately 3:40 p.m., which was less than two minutes after the call was dispatched. They found a victim who had recently used heroin in what is commonly referred to as the “heroin snore.” This is a medical condition close to unconsciousness, where the individual has labored breathing and is in jeopardy of dying. First responding officers immediately administered Narcan, an antidote that reverses the effects of an opiate overdose. Their actions were immediately followed up by second dose of Narcan administered by Riverside Fire Department paramedic personnel when they arrived. As a result of these Narcan injections, he was able to be revived. He was then given advanced medical care and transported to an area hospital by Riverside paramedics. The Riverside police and

fire departments worked seamlessly, quickly and professionally to save an unconscious man who was quickly slipping away due to a heroin overdose. What is most shocking is that the day following this save, I received several phone calls from individuals asking me, “Why expend money, time and effort to save drug addicts?” I was completely taken aback by this. While I am not sure if they were Riverside residents or not, as they did not identify themselves, the three phone calls I received were from very angry individuals. They adamantly felt that Riverside officers should not be carrying Narcan kits in their squad cars to save heroin addicts’ lives. One of the callers told me that the Riverside Police Department is adding to the larger problem of the debt for medical funding throughout the nation by saving heroin addicts. I totally disagree. The notion that police – in this case, Riverside police -- should not be carrying Narcan is absolutely mindboggling. I do not imagine they would feel this way if it were their own children or family member. I am a strong proponent of having

Narcan kits in squad cars. In fact, I personally believe that the state of Illinois and/or the federal government should mandate that all law enforcement agencies in the United States be required to carry these kits. I am usually not in favor of mandates, but in this case there are many documented situations where lives are saved by administering Narcan. The Riverside Police Department has been carrying AED devices, which are designed to automatically diagnose life threatening heart issues and treat them thereby saving lives, for years. However, I have never received a phone call stating that we should not carry them. Moreover, the Riverside Police Department is researching carrying Epi pens for individuals who have severe allergic reactions and there has been widespread support for this. A long-term solution to the heroin and opiate epidemic is complex and needs much more research. However, this issue should not be debated in emergency situations when officers are directly on the scene attempting to bring individuSee LETTERS on page 18

National Suicide Prevention Coping with suicide is one of the most difficult situations we as a community will face. It raises a lot of strong feelings that can paralyze us. While none of us can prevent suicide 100% of the time, there are things we can do that can prevent suicide much of the time. Most attempts are preceded by warning signs. Knowing what these are, knowing your unique situation, and having your own crisis plan can help you be prepared.

District 96 is the most over taxed in the area. Only District 204 (Lyons Township), at 120 percent, also qualifies for this relief. Why must the taxpayers continue to fund a gigantic savings account for District 96? Well, here’s a reason: it allows the school board to fund large capital projects right out of its bank account without first having to ask us for permission. We aren’t talking small amounts here. Pull out your tax bill and find the amount you paid last year for District 96. Then multiply it by 18 percent and you’ll be very close to your actual potential savings. Our state representative, Michael Zalewski, opined in the same story that he doubts that a majority of District 96 voters would vote to lower their taxes. I disagree. No one wants to be overcharged for anything, and Riverside taxes are now so high that they’ve become a drag on the real estate market. Just ask any local realtor. To whom is the petition to be directed? How is it to be worded? Is it 10 percent of all registered voters, or only those who voted in the last election? Are there time frames/limitations for the petition? Representative Zalewski voted for this new law. I look to him to provide us guidance in interpreting it. It’s a good opportunity to show us, before he runs again next year, that he really has the voters’ financial welfare in mind, and that he isn’t just another tax-and-spend Democrat.

Life-changing Loop from page 1 ever, I really did” Snyder said in a telephone interview. “I had friends who smoked in the bathrooms, I had friends who were cheerleaders, I had friends who were science geeks.” She had many memorable teachers including Jan Goldberg, who taught history. “She really was cool and hip and made learning fun,” Snyder said. It was in high school when Snyder first realized her passion for radio. She was a hardcore classic rock fan, listening to bands such as ZZ Top, Super Tramp, REO Speedwagon, the Marshall Tucker Band and Bob Seeger. At the suggestion of her friend, Gail Jage, the two girls entered an Everyone Can be a DJ contest put on by the Triton College radio station WRRG. They won and got to host an hour on the radio station a few times. From then on, she knew what she wanted to do with her life. “I was just kind of bitten by the bug,” Snyder said. “That’s all I wanted to do and that’s kind of what I set my sights on.” After graduating from RBHS she went to Illinois State University. But she quickly found out that on air

Her first paid job in radio was at small Christian radio station in

Latham graduated from Stanford with a degree in political science in 1980 and graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law three years later. He is an accomplished trial lawyer who practices in many areas of the law. He has been recognized as a top lawyer in six different areas of the law. Latham has played rugby from 1978 until 1996, and played at a very high level. He has played rugby in the United States and overseas. He was inducted into the Texas Rugby Hall of Fame. He was twice elected chairman of USA Rugby and was the first American to ever be elected to the executive committee of World Rugby. Latham has also served as member of the United States Olympic Committee. Latham has visited more than 60 countries and writes a column for SportsTravel Magazine. —Bob Skolnik

overnight shift. “You have a very loyal audience, because these are people who are also working the night shift,” Snyder said. “A lot of times you were their link to entertainment while they were working at 7-Elevens or gas stations and they’d call and want to hear a song.” She was only part time and had to supplement her income, so she worked at Brookfield Zoo during the week in the summer, narrating on the railroad train and the motor safari. During the rest of the year, she worked in food service at Loyola Hospital preparing patient food trays. In 1992 the Howard Stern show came to Chicago and Snyder was given the assignment to do hourly news inserts. That was her introduction to talk radio. Soon she was doing news and riffing with powerhouse Loop DJ Kevin Matthews. “That changed my life,” Snyder said. “I got bitten by the talk radio bug and there was no looking back.” She worked with first Gary Meier and, later, Steve Dahl after that radio duo broke up. She was paired with current partner Bill Leff, a former standup comedian, at the Loop and together they moved to WKQX (Q101) in 1996. “It kind of clicked pretty instantly,” Snyder said. “I love working with a partner now, because it is just so much easier to have someone to

just play something off of.” After their time at WKQX ended they couldn’t get a job together so they went their separate ways piecing together work. For a time, Snyder did traffic for the Don Wade and Roma show on WLS Radio. When her former boss at the Loop, Jimmy DeCastro, became program director at WGN he reunited Snyder and Leff at the iconic AM radio powerhouse. In the 1980s Snyder and other personalities at the Loop used to mock WGN for its dowdy ways, but both Snyder and WGN have changed since then. “We made fun of WGN,” Snyder said. “That was our parents’ station or our grandparents’ station. Now we’re parents.” Snyder and Leff do a topical show that focuses on what Snyder calls “water cooler talk.” The show is pretty freeform and including news, entertainment and just everyday life. They do interviews and stream an extra hour of the show on the internet. Perhaps not surprisingly for someone who has spent her life in radio, Snyder married a radio guy. She met her husband Jimmy “Mac” McInerney in 1991 at the Loop when he was a producer for the Jonathan Brandmeier show. They got married in 1997 and have two sons, one a freshman at College of DuPage and the other a freshman at Lyons Township High School. “We are quite the radio family,” Snyder said.

Lions put away Proviso West early Impressive first half scoring outburst paves way to conference victory

BY MARTY FARMER

Sports Editor

unior cornerback JJ Dutton is a top playmaker for the Lyons Township High School football team. He made his presence felt during the host Lions’ 35-20 homecoming win against Proviso West on Saturday, Sept. 16 at Bennett Field in Western Springs. With LTHS leading 29-6 in the last minute of the second quarter, Dutton intercepted a pass from Proviso West quarterback Deveon Bryant and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown, extending the Lions’ lead to 35-6 at halftime. Considering the Panthers rallied with two touchdowns in the second half, Dutton’s pick proved timely in terms of the eventual outcome. With Proviso West poised to score on the LTHS 1-yard line, Dutton’s pick served essentially as a 12-point swing on the scoreboard. However, Dutton wasn’t exactly a oneman show. Led by Cincinnati-bound quarterback Ben Bryant (13-for-21, 219 yards, 3 TD), running backs Tyrone Smith (29 carries, 169 yards) and Bryce Moskiewicz (10 carries, 95 yards) and wide receivers Brandon Fischer (6 receptions, 111 yards) and Nate Rusk (3 catches, 30 yards, TD), LTHS scored 23 unanswered points to establish a sizeable lead at the 9:08 mark of the second quarter. The Lions amassed 439 yards of total offense. After a three-and-out by Proviso West, the Lions blocked a punt by Deveon Bryant out of the end zone for a safety and 2-0 lead at 10:04 of the first quarter. LTHS added a touchdown when Smith scored on a 1-yard run off left tackle. Rusk kicked the extra point to put LTHS up 9-0 about midway through the first quarter. Ben Bryant threw a 4-yard slant pass to his favorite target, Fischer, for another TD as LTHS built the lead to 16-0 at the 2:58 mark of the first quarter. LTHS senior cornerback Louis Banda intercepted another Deveon Bryant pass deep in Lions’ territory. LTHS proceeded to go on a 15-play, 90-yard scoring drive, capped off on Ben Bryant’s 3-yard pass to Moskiewicz. Rusk added the PAT as the Lions’ advantage swelled to 23-0. The Panthers responded with a 9-play, 65-yard march that culminated on Deveon Bryant’s 28-yard pass to running back Tyrese Christian. Proviso West failed on the 2-point conversation but at least cut the deficit to 23-6 with 5:02 remaining until halftime. Dutton’s aforementioned 99-yard interception return closed out the first-half scoring. Midway through the third

Three plays later, Deveon Bryant scored on a 12-yard run into the end zone to make the score 35-12 with 5:33 left in the third quarter. Although LTHS didn’t move the ball nearly as well in the second half, a golden scoring opportunity was missed early in the fourth quarter. On a fourth-and-goal at the Proviso West 1, Smith was stuffed for no gain by the Panthers. Deveon Bryant struck once more on a 9-yard TD pass to senior wide receiver Kyle Morrison with 5:05 left in the fourth quarter to pull the Panthers closer at 35-20. On the next play, LTHS junior Hareson Willis secured the ball during an onside kick by Proviso West. The Lions went on a ball control drive to run out the clock and secure a hard-fought conference victory. LTHS (4-0, 2-0 West Suburban Silver) visits Leyden on Saturday, Sept. 22 in a nonconference matchup. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Along with defending conference champion Hinsdale Central and 2016 Class 8A semifinalist Glenbard West, the Lions are undefeated in conference. LTHS and visiting Glenbard West clash on Friday, Sept 29. The winner of that game will have the inside track to winning conference.

Bulldogs overwhelm Aurora Central

RBHS scores 34 points in second quarter; Hughes throws 7 TDs against Chargers By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

Off to a 4-0 start, the Riverside-Brookfield High School football team has served as a highlight reel for winning football. All three phases have excelled as the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents 159-44 this season. The Bulldogs’ 48-16 win against Aurora Central Catholic on Friday may have been their best game yet. RBHS reeled off 34 unanswered points in the second quarter to break open the Metro Suburban Conference crossover game. With the Chargers holding an 8-7 lead after one quarter, RBHS quarterback Hunter Hughes threw five touchdown passes in the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a commanding 41-8 halftime lead. Hughes completed 12 of 13 passes for 278 yards, seven touchdowns and an interception. In the second quarter, Hughes threw three touchdowns passes to Stefan Giminski (5 catches, 120 yards, 4 TD) and one each to Devin Moody (3 catches, 89 yards, 2 TD) and Zach Vaia (4 catches, 69 yards, TD). The Bulldogs rushed 29 times for 90 yards,

but the running game wasn’t particularly needed the way Hughes and the wide receiving corps were moving the ball through the air. “I think we played well as a team, but we also know we have a lot to improve,” Giminski said. “The reason why we came out on top is because we never take our foot off the gas pedal. It all comes back to how practice. The way we practice shows during game time.” RBHS extended its lead to 48-8 at the 10:04 of the third quarter on Hughes’ 45-yard touchdown pass to Moody to close out the Bulldogs’ scoring. “Our team has a lot of playmakers,” RBHS linebacker Jeff Bills said. “They have a huge impact on the game. However, football is a team sport. Without all of our guys moving towards the same goal, which is to go 1-0 every weekend, we wouldn’t have the success we’ve had so far.” The Chargers scored their second and final touchdown on Ryan Cerza’s 2-yard run. ACC quarterback Jimmy Eul tossed a pass to Drew Babler for a successful 2-point conversion to make the score 48-16.

RBHS senior Stefan Giminski (#1) caught five passes for 120 yards and four touchdowns in a 48-16 win against Aurora Central Catholic. Defensively, RBHS caused three turnovers and held ACC scoreless for two of four quarters. Anthony Walsh (5 tackles, 2 sacks) and Vaughn Hilpp (5 tackles, 1.5 sacks, fumble recovery) led the Bulldogs. Joey Quarino had four tackles and a forced fumble, while James Mizura, Jake Vaia, Christopher Doherty and Bills recorded three tackles apiece. Dominick Rowe contributed an interception, fumble recovery and two tackles. “Starting off the season on such a high note is great,” Walsh said. “We know

though that we have to keep working hard if we want to keep the momentum. I know that we are going to be the best we can be in practice this week, and that will show in our next game.” The Bulldogs (4-0) host a pair of huge conference games to close out September. RBHS welcomes in Wheaton Academy (31) on Friday, Sept. 22 and reigning Class 3A state champion Immaculate Conception (31) on Friday, Sept. 29. Both games kick off 7:15 p.m. at the Kennelly Athletic Complex.
