Riversiders who emerged from their homes after a supercell storm blew through the area on June 13 could tell immediately that it wasn’t your garden variety event. Last week, Village Forester Michael Collins and a re presentative from ComEd gave residents and local officials a clearer picture of the damage the village sustained.“Ithink it was really a challenging time for our [public works] department and the entire village,” Collins told elected officials during a re port at the Sept. 15 meeting of the village board. “In my 18 years here as the forester I’ve never seen damage at that level.”

Since the tur n of the millennium, there’ been no shor tage of digital music plat for ms and streaming apps to make our fa vorite songs easier and more convenient to enjoy. At the same time, there’s been resurgence in the retro technology of vinyl records and ar tistic album covers, that the once dwindling medium is here to stay.
Kloska says people can expect a little bit of everything at Vines & Vinyl, from remastered classics from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s to releases from newer ar tists in genres including rap, pop and alter native rock. Kloska says he also hopes to introduce patrons to newer ar tists, especially those from the Chicago area and Midwest.

“You can tell that Brookfield is closer to the city and has more of an urban vibe than some of the fur ther away suburbs,” he said. “I am excited that over the last month or so when I’ve been painting the shop and had my door open, from the amount of people that I see walk by, there’s a lot of people that seem to be late ’20s, early ’30s — it seems like the right neighborhood.”
“I want to have a little bit of something for everybody,” he said. “For the most part, I’m not going to have the largest selection in the world, but I want to stake my claim as a well-curated record store.”
“I want everyone to come in and see that there’s something they can find or that I can provide for them,” he added.
Kloska also hopes to host open mic nights featuring the music of local musicians and host consignment-style ar t shows to support local ar tists.

This past summer, LTHS added air conditioning to B and C wings at South Campus, providing air conditioning to 64 additional classrooms.Totalbudgeted revenues in the major oper ating funds at LTHS are projected to increase by 2.3 percent, and the 2021 tax levy is expected to be $2.3 million higher than the 2020 tax levyThe levy runs one year behind the calendar year Federal funding, mostly from the pandemic-related stimulus bill, is projected to account for 3.9 percent ($3.7 million) of revenues in the current fiscal year
In addition to approving the 2022-23 budget last week, the RBHS school board expects to sell $2.34 million in life safety bonds to pay for re placing the HVAC units on the roof over the library and the cafeteria, which also cool a number of classroomsThe bonds and should cost the average taxpayer an additional $30 annually for two years.

High School remains in good nancial position with ample reserves
the LTHS deficit is misleading, be cause it is caused by heavy capital spending to add more air conditioning at the school. More than half of the deficit is the result of a project to replace the nearly 60-year old chillers and air-handling units at the North Campus fieldhouse originally scheduled to be done this past summer The work was put off until next summer, because the contrac tor could not get the air-handling units delivered in time to do the work this year

But 90 percent of LTHS revenues come from local sources, mostly property taxes, while 6 percent will come from the state of Il linois and 4 percent from the federal govern ment.On the expenditure side, total salaries at LTHS are estimated to increase by 4.9 percent ($2.5 million), and employee benefit costs are projected to increase by 7.6 percent, mostly driven by an anticipated increase in health insurance costs of $500,000.

“We still don’t have the equipment yet,” said Brian Stachacz, the director of business services for LTHS
“Essentiallymillion.what we’re doing is we’re using some of the reserve funds that we have for some of these air-conditioning projects,” Stachacz said. “It’s not a common practice for the LT board to go into reserves, but obviously we have the money available to us.”
In addition to completely replacing the heating and air-conditioning system at the North Campus Fieldhouse next year at a cost of a little more than $2 million, LTHS of ficials are planning to fully air conditioning J Wing of the South Campus, which consists of 14 science labs That is expected to cost around $2
Stachacz said that the air-handling units in the fieldhouse should last for one more year.
Stachacz said LTHS last ran a deficit in 2016-17 when significant amount of air conditioning was added.
Some additional revenue that was not originally expected will be spent on installing LED lighting in the RBHS auditorium, expanding blended lear ning oppor tunities, updating the fur niture in the RBHS library with some flexible seating and improvements to the always congested student pickup and drop-off area.

With the prospect of a completed Brookfield Avenue bridge in sight, the village of Brookfield is hoping to activate the area in and around the village hall by enhancing the property surrounding the historic Grossdale Station at 8820½ Brookfield Ave.
the Brookfield Avenue bridge has shut down the museum and its grounds, which are owned by the village of Brookfield and had been used to host Parks & Recreation special events, including movie nights and murder mystery events.
Now village officials are hoping to tap into a state grant program aimed at revitalizing tourism. In July, Gov. J.B Pritzker announced that $15 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds were being ear marked for the state’s Tourism Attraction and Festivals GrantBrookfieldprogram.plans

The village might also consider creating a future “overlook” extension along the riverbank, though the grant application does not include such a feature at this time

on requesting a $500,000 grant, which requires an equal match from the village, to construct a per manent brick paver patio area to the east of the old depot adjacent to Salt Creek and a display building to house the village’s antique Ahrens-Fox fire engine.“Being able to apply for this grant, and if awarded, we would be able to redevelop that site space for long-ter m vision planning of opening up that museum, being able to have visitors drawn to that facility, to house special events,” Recreation Director Stevie Ferrari told village trustees at their Sept. 12 committee of the whole meeting.
None of those sheds survive. However, an old bar n that housed horses and a hose cart that was built in 1895 at the home of John W. Gross, the brother of village founder S.E. Gross, at DuBois and Rochester av enues, survived until it was demolished in 2006.“It’s much more than a garage,” Ketchmark said of the building to house the fire engine. “It’s almost like a museum annex.”

High schools drop ‘king’ and ‘queen’ homecoming titles
“It’s a thoughtful way to keep everyone involved,” said Isabel Anaya, a 2022 graduate who was back for homecoming.
There will also be no homecoming king and queen at Lyons Township High School at this weekend’s homecoming as that school also has eliminated the titles this year.“LT’s move away from a homecoming queen and king reflects a larger trend in schools, as they look to build a more in clusive Homecoming experience for all students,” said Peter Geddeis, the director of student activities at LTHS in a comment that emailed to the Landmark.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” Ruska said. “Everyone just looks up to you and it’s just great.”Ruska and Swicionis are both athletes who are also in the RBHS band.
At RBHS, the decision to ditch the titles of king and queen came from students. Members of the Student Association thought about making the change last year but decided not to after not having a homecoming in 2020. But they made a change for prom last spring, when they eliminated specific numbers of boys and girls for the prom cour t, going with top vote-getters in stead.Instead, seniors selecting five boys and five girls for the homecoming cour t this year, they simply counted all the votes without respect for gender and ended up with a homecoming cour t of seven girls and three boys
“Equity,” said RBHS teacher Angela Ziola, the faculty advisor to the Student As sociation, explaining the students’ reasoning for disre garding gender “It shouldn’t matter; it’s top 10 who the students wanted on the Cour t. It doesn’t need to be gender identified, so it was just that whole idea of let’s just go with the top 10.”

The matter will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its meeting on Oct. 27. If the commission settles on a recommendation at that meeting, the matter will head back to the village board and a vote that would take place no later than Nov. 28. Huston said she’s OK with that timeline.
Right now, tattoos parlors are prohibited in Brookfield because the zoning code does not include the use in its code. While that’s not necessarily uncommon – the zoning codes in North Riverside, LaGrange, LaGrange Park, Western Springs and Westchester also prohibit them by omission – the village likely would not survive a challenge to the omission in court, said Village Planner Kate Portillo.

Of the 116 public trees lost as a result of the storm, 70 of them were 21 inches in diameter or larger. One cottonwood tree felled by the winds, which included gusts of up to 95 mph, was 55 inches in diameter.

Beyond the loss of entire trees, hundreds of trees sustained limb damage. Collins said that public works and crews from the village’s third-par ty vendor D.

When the tower fell, it also broke some windows at the township hall and took down a section of copper gutter. The storm also damaged numerous items of village property, including the public works building roof, a couple of fire hydrants and a gas lamp.Asof Sept. 16, the village had incurred total storm-related expenses of $682,000, according to Johns.
Initially, the village’s risk management agency denied the village’s insurance claim to recoup those costs, but earlier this month Johns confirmed that the insurance carrier had reversed its position and is honoring the village’s claim.

Above and beyond the sum paid to D. Ryan, the village will fork over $30,000 to re place the 90-foot communications tower behind village hall that the storm toppled.
In the meantime, the village has paid about $10,000 so far to Verizon to use its cloud to keep all of the village communication lines connected.Untilthe new tower is erected, Johns said, the village also won’t know the extent of the damage done to the antennae that were on the old tower, so there may be additional expense related to those.

Over the years I would lear n more about the young woman I had watched become queen. She was quite a woman, wife, mother, diplomat, nature lover, fond owner of Corgi dogs and able to sustain a monarchy and family that often came under scrutiny As with many families she had to deal with problems in her family, only it all took place in the public eye. The loss of her beloved husband was probably the hardest thing to bear as they were a true love story.
It is good to know about the village happenings in Riverside and Brookfield, the school news, the local festivities, what homes are for sale, and especially the Kosey Corner
Thankfully, the village was able to convince the Illinois Risk Management Association, its insurance carrier, to accept that claim. But, we’re not sold on the idea that insurance companies or cooperatives are going to want to keep swallowing the cost of more frequent, more severe stor ms.

The crown was the same one worn by her father and weighed about two and a half pounds. Yes, she was strong. She later said that when reading a speech while wearing the crown she had to lift the papers up to her face so the crown would not slip off.
The supercell storm that blazed through North Riverside, Riverside and Brookfield in June was just one such storm in a summer full of them in other nearby places. Many areas untouched in June have since gotten creamed.

Other parts of the country were also hit with devastating storms. Deadly flooding in easter n Kentucky in July displaced so many people and caused so much damage, officials were forced to delay the start of school. Jackson, Mississippi lost access to fresh water after severe flooding.
What I don’t want to see is an editorial that takes a political side that can divide a community that mostly gets along very well. I find most people are right down the middle and have no desire to let national politics divide us. Please stick to what you are ... a local community newspaper.
“Droughts can often make flooding worse,” the Washington Post’s Matthew Cappucci reported on Aug. 23. “They kill plants and leave the ground bare, reducing soil absor ption. They also harden top soils, which makes it easier for water to run of f. The extremely dry ground, combined with the rapid rainfall, can trig ger widespread flooding.”
Together with a dozen or so other west suburban communities, they’ll work toward finding sustainable solutions to address the undeniable impact of climate change. We hope that sense of ur gency spreads, because the impacts are real, increasingly frequent and expensive.

Riverside-Brookfield High School senior Luke Kumskis mostly played defensive last football season.
RBHS (3-1, 2-0 in MSC Red) saw the Eagles (2-2, 0-1) tie the game 7-7 at the start of the second quarter but stopped three other threats to lead 14-7 at halftime. The Bulldogs pulled away with a 21-point fourth quarter.“Wewere pretty much in this exact situation Week 1 [beating Morton 35-28],” RBHS coach Sam Styler said. “We had the lead and kind of let of f the gas a little. We let them back in the game. We came out in the second half and did what we needed to do.”
Lyons Township downs OPRF 38-13
The Bulldogs’ go-ahead 25-yard touchdown pass 28.8 seconds before halftime typified the momentum shift.
In the first quarter, OPRF quarter back Jack Gooch (11-of-22, 99 yards, 2 INT) tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Martin -- the eighth time this year that the duo has connected for a score.
The Huskies will try to get back into the win column Sept. 23 when they visit Hinsdale Central.

“We really prepped for this. We knew they were going to pass the ball,” Swiatek said. “That’s been our weakness a little bit, so we really worked on that and it paid off.”
However, late in the second quar ter, fumbles by Eric Evans and Gooch on consecutive possessions swung the momentum towards LTHS. Gifted short fields, Lions quarterback Ryan Jackson threw touchdown passes of 7 and 10 yards to give LTHS a 17-7 halftime lead
