Legion frowns on moving memorial to war dead

Relocating Gold Star Memorial is landscape commission’s preferred option By BOB UPHUES Editor

Riverside’s American Legion Post 488 got some wonderful news last week. The United States World War I Centennial Commission, created by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2013, named the village’s Gold Star Memorial in Guthrie Park as one of the nation’s 100 official World War I Centennial memorials. For years, the local American

Legion post has tried to build momentum for a plan to refurbish the nearly century-old memorial, which consists of bronze plaques affixed to boulders and set around a flagpole that flies the Stars and Stripes. Recognition by the federal commission also came with a grant of up to $2,000, which will go toward improvements to the memorial. With the $5,000 the American Legion Post 488 has See MEMORIAL on page 17

MEMORIAL MAKEOVER: Tom Sisulak (above) and the members of the Riverside American Legion Post 488 want the Gold Star Memorial in Guthrie Park rehabilitated but kept in its century-old home. The village is mulling whether to move the memorial to the front of the Riverside Township Hall, which the Legion opposes.

North Riverside waves white flag on fire privatization Impasse on firefighters’ contract will go to arbitration

By BOB UPHUES Editor

North Riverside Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. said the village will drop its pursuit of

privatizing firefighting services through the courts after the Illinois Court of Appeals on Sept. 29 upheld a ruling by the Illinois Labor Relations Board that the village engaged in an unfair labor practice

by seeking to unilaterally terminate its contract with union firefighters while that contract was subject to arbitration. The appeal was effectively North Riverside’s last resort in the courts, which for

the past three-plus years have systematically ruled against the village’s contention that it could terminate the union contract See LAWSUIT on page 11

Architect of Ogden Avenue landmark dies at 95 By BOB UPHUES Editor

If most people know Brookfield because of its connection to Brookfield Zoo, its most distinctive work of architecture is instantly recognizable to anyone who has driven through town along Ogden Avenue. Even more than 50 years after it was built at 9009 Ogden Ave., the brashly modern, circular, glazed brick and polished steel-andglass Brookfield Federal Savings – now a branch for Citibank – stands out. BILL PAVLECIC It was designed by Bill Pavlecic, a LaGrange architect who died Sept. 15 at the age of 95 at LaGrange Memorial Hospital. Pavlecic studied architecture at the feet of Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and landed his first job with the firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. He later founded his own firm, William Pavlecic & Associates, which he headed for 55 years. The firm became well-known for its church designs, 27 in all, including St. Gall Church (1956) in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. Brookfield Federal Savings was completed in 1961. Pavlecic’s son, Jim, who is also an architect and LaGrange resident, was a boy when the bank was designed and built. He has fond memories of one of his father’s signature works.

PROVIDED

SPACE AGE: The Citibank building on Ogden Avenue was built in 1961 and immediately became a landmark, with its striking modern exterior and interior designs. “I grew up in that building,” said Jim Pavlecic, who remembered that Brookfield Federal held the mortgage on the family home. He and his dad would drive to Brookfield on Saturdays to pay the mortgage in person. Pavlecic recalled that getting the measurements right for the structural columns for the circular building was so important that his father nailed a $100 bill to the center point and told the concrete contractor the money was his if all the bolts lined up perfectly He also recalled the time, about 15 years or so ago, when the owner was changing out the air-conditioning system. A worked drilled a hole in the concrete floor to allow condensation to escape and was horrified when a geyser of water shot up through the floor. His dad explained that the bank’s basement had been designed to be water-tight. The concrete foundation was encased in a steel sheath and the bank, essentially, was a boat floating on a sea of groundwater. Pavlecic also remembered that while

workers were digging the foundation of the bank, they ran into an enormous boulder that prior soil borings had missed. The rock was glacial till, left behind after glaciers receded from the area. They needed dynamite to get it out of the middle of what would be the bank’s basement. Although the bank has a number of striking features, from the stainless-steel exterior columns, reminiscent of Crown Hall at IIT, to the suspended interior staircase and mezzanine, Pavlecic said his favorite design element isn’t visible from Ogden Avenue. He said it’s the staircase that wraps around the red glazed-brick smokestack at the rear of the building, a humble utility staircase to the second floor given a star turn. “I’m very proud of that particular building,” Pavlecic said. “And I’m happy to see the current caretakers have been sympathetic toward it.” Pavlecic says he hopes that will continue in the future. The building is on the market for $4,990,000.

RBHS’ first black homecoming queen: ‘It means a lot’ Coretta Dishmon says election ‘a major statement’ on school’s inclusiveness

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Barely more than a month after racist graffiti was found in a girl’s bathroom at Riverside Brookfield High School for the second time in less than a year RBHS students made history by selecting its first African-American as homecoming queen. On Sept. 22 at the annual homecoming pep rally, last year’s queen, Lyndsey Hoyd, placed the crown on the head of senior Coretta Dishmon, a resident of North Riverside. Students roared their approval. “It feels great,” Dishmon told the Landmark. “It meant more to me that my peers voted for me. And it was also, like, super cool to see the people who usually aren’t as involved in school really care and show up and show out. That was like the coolest part.” Dishmon was especially proud to be the school’s first black homecoming queen. “It means a lot to me,” Dishmon said. “It makes me feel like I’m making an impact in some type of way to RB and that students and teachers will remember me in the future, and that’s really important.” In 2002, Brandon Davis was selected as the first, and only black homecoming king at RBHS. Black students make up about 5.7 percent of the student body at RBHS. Dishmon is a popular girl who has a wide and diverse circle of friends at RBHS. “To be honest RB is kind of segregated, and then there are the few people who kind of talk to everyone, so I’m one of those people,” Dishmon said. “I have a lot of white friends, a lot of black friends, a lot of Hispanic friends. I don’t really stick with one group.” Dishmon, who went to L.J. Hauser Junior High School like four of the five queen nominees, is friends with the other queen candidates. Seniors nominate five girls to be homecoming queen and five boys to king. The other queen nominees this year were Kaitlin Gaynor, Josephine “Joey” Jacobs, Vasara Kulbis and Radka Pribyl Pierdinock. Matt Dwyer of Riverside was selected homecoming king from a field that included Jake Garvey, Jason Kenny, John Kosner and Erik Roedel.

ALEXA ROGALS/Staff Photographer

MAKING A STATEMENT: Homecoming queen Coretta Dishmon said her selection this year proved that incidents of racism at the school don’t represent the school, which she believes is both tolerant and inclusive. All students then select a homecoming queen and king from the nominees. Dishmon even had the vocal support of one of the other queen candidates. “I actually voted for Coretta myself,” Jacobs said. “I felt like she deserved it. She’s like one of the nicest people I know. Everyone who said they would vote for me, I told them to vote for her instead.” Jacobs estimated that she asked about 50 students to vote for Dishmon. “Obviously everybody wants to win, and how she was just so willing to be like ‘I’m voting for you and I’m telling people to vote for you,’” Dishmon said of Jacobs’ support. “It meant a lot.” Dishmon said that her road to becoming homecoming queen started with an offhand comment when seniors were getting ready to

nominate members of the homecoming court. “It kind of started as a joke,” Dishmon said. “I was kind of sitting with my friends and I was like, ‘Oh, my, vote me for homecoming court.’ And they were like, ‘Actually yes we will really will vote for you.’ And then it … kind of spread throughout the whole school.” Once started, the movement to select Dishmon as queen became unstoppable. None of the other queen candidates really campaigned for the position. But Dishmon encouraged her friends and acquaintances to vote for her, and she reached out to younger students. Dishmon serves as a senior leader for a freshman physical education class and she asked the freshmen in that class to vote for her, a personal pitch that no doubt helped. Dishmon’s younger brother, Corey, a soph-

omore football player, also got involved. He encouraged his friends to vote for his sister and estimated, perhaps exaggerating a little, that about 90 percent of the sophomores voted for Dishmon. RBHS officials declined to reveal exact vote totals. Dishmon is involved with a host of activities at RBHS including the Student Association, the Student Advisory Board, Spanish Club, Spanish Honor Society, Association of Students for Tolerance, and last week was invited to join the National Honor Society. In the past she has participated in tennis, gymnastics, track and poms. She fits the profile of most homecoming queens as someone who is popular, a good student and participates in many activities. But it seems that some RBHS students were also making a statement by voting for her. “I don’t think we elected her to be homecoming queen specifically because she was black, but I think it’s because she’s an amazing influence on the school and she is really involved,” said senior Casey Whisler. “She definitely deserved it no matter what and there’s also another part of it that’s like, it’s about time RB had a black homecoming queen, because every student deserves to be represented,” she added. Kashawn Mitchell, senior who transferred to RBHS this year from Bloom High School and is black, said that he was heartened by Dishmon’s selection as homecoming queen. “I love it,” Mitchell said. “It shows that everyone is equal.” Dishmon said that her selection, especially after the instances of racist graffiti, is significant. “I think that it’s a major statement,” Dishmon said. “I think it proves that the racist graffiti doesn’t represent RB as a whole, and that a good amount of students believe in tolerance and inclusiveness. Those events don’t represent what RB is about.” She said that race relations and school climate has improved this year at RBHS. “I have seen a major improvement from last year, especially like toward the end of last year with all of the tension between races,” Dishmon said.

D95 poised to pass bond resolution in November Demo work at Gross School on tap for January

By BOB UPHUES Editor

The Brookfield-LaGrange Park School District 95 Board of Education is poised to pass a resolution next month to issue $7.5 million in construction bonds in order to fund prelimi-

nary work related to major expansion projects at both Brook Park Elementary School and S.E. Gross Middle School. At the same time, according to Superintendent Mark Kuzniewski, the school board is contemplating refinancing bonds issued back in 2006 in order to see some savings resulting

from lower interest rates. Refinancing the 2006 debt will save the school district between $450,000 and $585,000 over the life of the bonds, which are scheduled to be repaid in full in 2026. The school board could also choose to shorten the term of the bonds.

Once the school board passes the resolution authorizing the new bond issue on Nov. 9, the bonds would be sold within two weeks and the proceeds available to the district by the end of 2017. See D95 on page 7

Brookfield Ave. bridge replacement slated in 2019 BROOKFIELD Wider deck to allow bike lanes, scenic river overlook By BOB UPHUES Editor

A plan to replace the Brookfield Avenue bridge over Salt Creek that’s been in the works for three years will move into the design phase next year, with construction now slated to begin in summer 2019. At a special public meeting prior to the village board’s Sept. 25 meeting, officials also indicated that the cost estimate for the bridge replacement has increased by almost $1 million. Back in October 2014, the bridge replacement was estimated at about $1.5 million. But on Sept. 25, the cost for replacing the bridge, not including engineering costs, was estimated to be $2.4 million. The village is not on the hook for the entire amount. Some 80 percent of the cost will be funded through a federal bridge rehabilitation grant. The village’s share of the cost is 20 percent, or about $480,000. Brookfield officials gave the green light for the bridge replacement back in 2014, after the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) downgraded the bridge’s condition to “poor,” allowing it to become eligible for federal grant funding. Prior to the rating downgrade on October 2014, IDOT already had limited loads crossing the bridge to 22 tons and required that it be inspected annually. Although the bridge deck itself isn’t that old – it was replaced in 1986 – the piers supporting the bridge deck are 101 years old. On Sept. 25, Joseph Attanaseo, the project engineer for Ciorba Group, the firm hired

back in 2014 to manage the bridge replacement, said the century-old superstructure of the bridge continued to deteriorate. Plans unveiled on Sept. 25 showed the new bridge deck will be wider in order to accommodate bike lanes in either direction. In addition, on the north side of the bridge, the pedestrian sidewalk will be separated from the street by a barrier, and a section of the bridge overlooking the river to the north will be bumped out about seven feet to allow people to linger and enjoy the view. The new plans also call for the jog in the roadway west of the bridge to be straightened slightly, and roadway itself will rise about two feet to accommodate larger beams spanning the river. The larger support beams are necessary because plans also call for the removal of the center pier, which means the bridge will have a clear span across Salt Creek, eliminating a choke point for debris, the ongoing worry about water eroding a central support feature and the cost for maintaining it. Attanaseo said the design phase of the project will continue through 2018 and that construction tentatively is expected to begin in July 2019. The roadway between Forest Avenue and village hall will be closed completely until the project’s completion in November 2019. Traffic, including Pace buses, will be detoured to Washington Avenue along Arden and Prairie avenues during construction, although the pedestrian bridge across Salt Creek south of Brookfield Avenue will remain open.

Concern over stagnant RBHS test scores Administrators challenge board’s basis for district comparison By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

A member of the Riverside-Brookfield High School District 208 Board of Education expressed his frustration last week at what he described as stagnant test scores at the school. Board member Tim Walsh challenged Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Instruction Kylie Lindquist at the board’s Sept. 26 meeting, during which Lindquist presented a

report about test scores and said that RBHS was improving in every single area. “We can’t say the trend is improving, because that is not what the trend is,” Walsh shot back. The RBHS Class of 2017 achieved an average composite ACT of 22.6. That was an improvement from the 22.1 score of the Class of 2016, but it’s also identical to the 22.6 recorded by the Class of 2012 and down from the 23.3 achieved by the Class of 2013.

ment and the demolition of the auditorium/ industrial arts wing, which will undergo a dramatic makeover beginning next year. That initial work is expected to begin in mid- to late-January 2018. As a result, the band room will be moved to a second-floor conference room at the school and the woodshop will be relocated to another area, which has yet to be determined. But, according to Kuzniewski, the wood shop won’t be returning after the end of the 2017-18 school year. The class’ longtime teacher, Tim Rost, will retire next June. “I don’t think the wood shop will be picked up and reinstated somewhere else,” Kuzniewski said. Instead, the administration is working on a plan to create an elective STEM curriculum that could be housed in the newly rehabbed wing, which will also include a ground-floor “cafetorium” – combination cafeteria/auditorium – and a band area. “When the new space is done, we’ve planned for an elective curriculum rooted probably more in the 21st century than in circular saws.” Even before the asbestos and demolition work begins at S.E. Gross, ComEd may be at each of the school later this fall to relocate underground electrical cables. Construction on the additions at both schools won’t start in earnest until June 2018. The new spaces are expected to be completed and open for use by the start of the 2019-20 school year.

TEST SCORES

AP results stronger from page 5 of 2010 racked up a 23.0 average ACT score. The average ACT score in Illinois is 21.4. “We don’t seem like we’re improving,” Walsh said. The score this year, as in previous years, fell far short of the board’s ambitious, some would say unrealistic, goal of achieving an average ACT composite test score of 26. That goal was set by the board in 2012. “That was the average of the top 10 public schools in the state,” said Superintendent Kevin Skinkis. “They were trying to set a lofty goal for the administration.” School board President Garry Gryczan, who shares Walsh’s frustration with stagnant ACT scores, defended the goal of an average ACT score of 26. “We believe the people in this district want the high school to perform comparable to the elite schools, and we’re trying to incentivize the administration to look at ways to get those scores up,” Gryczan told the Landmark. However, administrators said that board should not compare RBHS to schools like Hinsdale Central, whose students have a different socioeconomic profile than RBHS. They said RBHS scores should be compared to scores at Hinsdale South High School, a

school with a substantial number of lowincome and minority students. “Hinsdale South is very similar to our demographic,” Lindquist said. The Class of 2016 at Hinsdale South achieved a composite ACT score of 22.1, while Hinsdale Central students averaged a 26.6 ACT score. In the 2015-16 school year, the last year official figures are available, 16 percent of RBHS students were classified as low-income, 33 percent were Hispanic, 5.6 percent were black, 2.6 percent were mixed race, and 1.8 percent were Asian. At Hinsdale South, 30 percent of students were classified as low-income, 20.3 percent were black, 11.3 percent were Hispanic, 10.2 percent were Asian, and 2.7 percent were mixed race. By contrast only 6 percent of Hinsdale Central students were low-income. Enrollment was 73 percent white, 15.5 percent Asian, 5.3 percent Hispanic, and 2.6 percent black. Walsh was frustrated that hiring additional teachers in recent years to reduce class sizes, which had increased after the defeat of a tax referendum in 2011, didn’t seem to improve test scores. “It’s not accomplished what we thought it would accomplish,” said Walsh of the reduction in class sizes. “It doesn’t appear to be producing the result that we thought it would.” Lindquist noted that about one third of incoming freshmen enter RBHS with be-

low-grade level test scores, making it difficult to move them to above average ACT scores when they are juniors. “We are educating the students that are coming to us,” Lindquist said. Principal Kristin Smetana said it is difficult to make big changes in an average ACT test for an entire school. Lindquist and Smetana also noted that RBHS students come from three distinct middle schools with different curriculums and different demographics. “We have no control over the students that come to us or what curriculum they receive or how ready they come to us,” Lindquist said. The school board had asked for results broken down by feeder schools and the results indicated that students who came to RBHS from L.J. Hauser Junior High School in Riverside performed the best on the ACT. RBHS students in the Class of 2017 who graduated from Hauser had an average composite ACT score of 23.7. Students who went to S.E. Gross Middle School compiled an average ACT composite score of 23.0, while students who attended Komarek School in North Riverside averaged 21.4 on the ACT. Administrators said the focus should be on student growth; on that measure RBHS is doing well, they said. They also pointed to improvements on Advanced Placement exam results. According to information provided by the administration, 78.1 percent of RBHS students who took an AP test attained at

least one score of 3 or above, a six year high. Three is the lowest score that receives college credit. RBHS had 44 more AP students last year than the year before, and RBHS students took 101 more AP exams than the year before. Sixty-eight percent of the AP exams taken by RBHS students last year received a passing grade. The pass rate for students taking AP European History increased by 17 percent last year, but Smetana said that because of the small sample size it was impossible to say if a teacher change was a cause of the improved pass rate. AP English Literature and Composition also had its highest pass rate since 2012 and a 12 percent increase over the previous year. “The class of 2017 had a really good year,” said Skinkis. “We’re doing some good things. We need to take it to the next level.” The class of 2017 at Lyons Township High School had an average ACT composite score of 24.1. This coming year both RBHS and LTHS will, along with the rest of the state, will be giving juniors both the ACT and the SAT, which has replaced the ACT as the statemandated test in Illinois. Gryczan said that he will push for an ambitious SAT goal. “The board has not discussed this yet,” Gryczan said. “As a personal opinion I would say, yes, we still look to have stretch goals out there.”

Car crashes into business, injuring employee An employee of an Ogden Avenue car dealership in Brookfield suffered minor injuries last week after a car that was involved in a crash came barreling into the building where he was working. According to the police report, the employee was seated at a desk with his back to the street when a 2005 Mazda crashed through the glass front of Smiley Auto, 9000 Ogden Ave. at about 4:35 p.m. on Sept. 29. Paramedics transported him to Loyola University Medical Center for treatment. None of the people inside either vehicle was badly hurt, police said. The 23-year-old Willowbrook man driving a 2000 Toyota that allegedly caused the crash was ticketed for failure to yield and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. He was taken to LaGrange Memorial Hospital as a precaution. Police reported that the Toyota was waiting to make a left turn onto Ogden Avenue from the bank parking lot on the south side of Ogden. A vehicle in the eastbound curb lane stopped to let the car proceed, but the Mazda, which was traveling eastbound in the inside lane, did not stop. The Toyota crashed into the passenger side of the Mazda, causing its 18-year-old driver to lose control of the vehicle, which careened across the two westbound lanes of traffic and crashed into the building on the north side of Ogden Avenue. Police reported that the driver of the Mazda did not have a valid driver’s license. He was ticketed for that offense and for operating an uninsured vehicle. Neither the driver of the Mazda nor his 18-year-old passenger was injured.

Officer injured in crash A 48-year-old Berwyn man was reportedly drunk when he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his vehicle into a Lyons police squad car, which was stopped at a red light on 39th Street at Ogden Avenue in Lyons, injuring the police officer on Oct. 1 at about 2:15 a.m. According to police, the squad car sustained severe damage and paramedics took the injured officer to Loyola University Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The officer has been released from the hospital but remains off duty. Riverside police assisting Lyons in its investigation determined that the Berwyn man was highly intoxicated. He was taken to MacNeal Hospital for treatment of minor injuries and then released back into the custody of Riverside police, which charged him with driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and driving without insurance.

Cash taken from vehicle A 40-year-old Justice woman went to police on Oct. 1 to report that about $5,000 in cash that she intended to deposit in the bank after working at an Ogden Avenue business had been stolen from her car. The victim told police that she had placed the cash, which was inside deposit bags, on the floor in the front of the vehicle, which was parked in the lot at Dunkin Donuts, 9208 Ogden Ave. in Brookfield. She worked from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and returned to find the bags missing from her vehicle. According to police, the victim also had a warrant for her arrest related to a prior retail theft. Police took her into custody and held her over for a bond hearing.

Businesses burglarized ■ North Riverside police responded to Kids Foot Locker in the North Riverside Park Mall, 7501 Cermak Road, on Sept. 18 after the store manager called to report that the security gate was ajar when she arrived for work that morning. Surveillance cameras showed that on Sept. 17 at 6:40 p.m. three people are seen tampering with the gate. At one point, the gate is pulled up high enough to allow one of them to slide under it, select nine Adidas warmup jackets from a rack and slide back out of the business. The loss was estimated at about $500. ■ A person described as a black male in his 60s, about 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, with salt-and-pepper hair, a mustache and wearing glasses and a gray Titleist baseball cap nearly made off with a box containing cash from an office inside the pro shop at the Riverside Golf Club, 2520 Desplaines Ave. in North Riverside on the morning of Sept. 23. The suspect entered the pro shop and browsed items there before entering the unoccupied office and taking the cash box. The office manager confronted the man and was able to take the cash box away from the man, who ran from the shop and fled in a light blue Hyundai sedan waiting in the parking lot.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Sept. 18-Oct. 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.

Goal setting

t’s important to have goals. At Riverside-Brookfield High School, one of the stated goals is for every junior class to average a 26 on the formerly state-mandated ACT exam, which students use as a college admission test and the state uses as an indicator of academic achievement. Very few schools in the state average a 26 on that exam, so setting that target as a goal is pretty ambitious. You might say, for a school like Riverside-Brookfield High School, that it is unrealistic. Frankly, setting up arbitrary goals like an average ACT score of 26 is setting up administrators and teachers to fail. Especially, when you’re talking about a school, like RBHS, which is seeing its student body becoming more diverse, with more English language learners and coming from three different elementary school districts, with three different curricula and different student populations. Some RBHS board members say they wish to be compared to schools like Hinsdale Central, one of those 26-average ACT schools. But that isn’t fair to the people charged with delivering education at RBHS, because the two student populations couldn’t be more different. What’s more important for school officials to focus on is improving achievement of students as they progress through high school. That’s the real measure of academic success, not an arbitrary number. In any case, the state no longer mandates the ACT as its test of record, opting for the SAT, which will be given to the entire junior class for the first time next spring. While we imagine the board will pick a number as its student average goal, we hope it’s realistic. Let’s hit that goal first, and revise upward.

Starting over Three years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills later, North Riverside is back where it was in September 2014. The village was trying to figure out a way to decrease the cost of delivering firefighting services and union firefighters had invoked their right to arbitration to resolve an impasse over contract negotiations. That’s exactly the place where things stand now, after the circuit court, appellate court and an Illinois Labor Relations Board administrative law judge repeatedly rebuffed the village’s plan to privatize the fire department by unilaterally terminating the union contract. In October or November, the matter will head to the place it was always going to end up – in front of a labor arbitrator. Is it possible that the arbitrator sides with the village and allows it to terminate the contract? Sure. Is it likely? Not even remotely. The pressures of pensions will remain, but instead of the privatization path, the village needs to begin thinking about possibly consolidating firefighting services by forming a fire protection district. There are small towns with full-time departments that face the same kinds of mounting pension pressures. That’s where we see the solution – sharing the burden by spreading out the costs, but not through privatization. Had the village gone down that path back in 2014, it might be closer to a solution. Instead, we’re starting over, and it’s been a very expensive detour.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

s it a sign, or should I write signs of the time? Seems of late the area, and that includes all of the Landmark territory has been inundated with lawn signs. It used to be you’d only see “for sale” signs or, during election season, candidate signs in front of houses. Now, however we are seeing more signs than I care to see. The late Lady Bird Johnson strove to make America beautiful by removing signs (although I did like the Burma Shave signs on the side of mainly rural roads). She would probably cringe with what we see now which advertises businesses, schools, garage sales, and currently more personal expressions. I could elaborate on all but won’t. Everyone is entitled to express themselves in some form or another, signs being one of them. Signs can be distracting if you are driving, so I tend to ignore them, so obviously some messages are lost on me. How long should signs stay up? Well, definitely when they start to fade and in the case of elections, the day after, particularly if your sign is of a non-winner (loser is too harsh a term, at least they made the effort). The signs can

evoke conversations, which is good as long as they are kept in perspective. Do I not like signs? I like the ones announcing a birthday or birth of a child; they are most often cute and clever, though birthday signs can be embarrassing if you have been lying about your age for many years. Having been the recipient of a birthday barrage, it was fun, and I was amazed how the company snuck in at the dark of night and just as easily they were gone. I do believe that villages only have jurisdiction over parkway land, but hopefully good taste will prevail on private property. I’m signing off on this subject. Editing the editor: My column of last week had to do with some yearbooks from the Riverside Woman’s Club and the Riverside Junior Woman’s Club, yes Junior Woman’s Club not Junior Woman’s Charity. Originally it was the Junior Woman’s Club, which I had submitted in the column but did not appear that way in print. The “club” name was subsequently changed, but people still tend to refer to it as “Juniors” no matter what the official name is. There, now that is cleared up.

Right approach for using opioid antidote

Telepathy of coincidence?

I want to thank Police Chief Thomas Weitzel and Fire Chief Matthew Buckley for their compassionate and logical stance on the use of naloxone (Narcan) by our local first responders (“Riverside chiefs: We’ll continue to use Narcan,” Opinion, Sept. 20). Landmark readers should know that deaths related to opioids have surpassed those related to gun violence or motor vehicle accidents in Cook County. In 2015, deaths related to opioids in Cook County were more than 640; by 2016, that number had surpassed 1,000. In the past two and a half years, deaths related to heroin or fentanyl (a powerful synthetic heroin-lick drug intended for hospital use but increasingly found in street drugs) for Brookfield, North Riverside and Riverside were at least 12 according to the Cook County Medical Examiner. These are our family members, friends and neighbors. My wife and I have raised our three children in Riverside. All three have had friends whose lives were either significantly impacted or ended by these drugs, which have very powerful addictive properties. A reality in public health is that you cannot get a person into rehabilitation who is dead. Thanks to our first responders and their leadership for this correct, courageous, and moral approach to serving and protecting our community.

For eight years, along with many caring North Riverside people, I have helped pick up and deliver food for needy people. At times, distribution is at my discretion. Everyone I’ve dealt with I consider a friend. On a recent Friday, I was bombarded with thoughts of a friend in need of food. I had only a few small bags on hand, and after paying bills and cleaning up other projects, I decided to take a few bags to this friend. However, it was now 9 p.m. I never delivered that late, and I couldn’t make a phone connection. I decided to drop off what I had at the front door. Pulling up in front of my friend’s house, I saw my friend standing there, holding both doors open, like expecting this special delivery. I was directed to take the food to a kitchen counter where the cupboard was bare. My friend had fallen, broken a large bone in his arm and was scheduled for surgery in three days. The food was just enough to hold over three to five days until surgery. We talked for over a half hour, so I was totally positive and encouraging, and I left on a high note for both of us. I still don’t know how this all happened. Was it telepathy or just a coincidence? In any case, the surgery was successful, my friend is back home, more food has been delivered and things are going well.

Riverside’s ‘permanent and enduring’ Gold Star Memorial Dedicated on Memorial Day 1921, it initially honored 3 killed during Great War

By BOB UPHUES

Editor

ven though The Great War had ended the previous November, Memorial Day 1919 in Riverside still focused, as it had since 1865, on the dead of the Civil War. Residents and “but a few of the veterans of the Civil War” gathered that Memorial Day in Community Park – now called Guthrie Park – to pay tribute to those who died in the service of the Grand Army of the Republic. Edward Ames, the 13-year-old son of school Superintendent A.F.

MEMORIAL Three options from page 1 already donated to the village of Riverside for the project, it would seem the rehabilitation of the Gold Star Memorial is moving full speed ahead. Yet, there’s trouble below deck. Earlier this year, the village turned over design of a refurbished memorial to Living Habitats, a landscape architecture firm it also used for its Swan Pond Park rehab plan. That firm has now come up with three options for the memorial, costing anywhere between $32,000 and $55,000. This summer, Landscape Advisory Commission members voted to recommend the middle option, estimated to cost about $34,000, which would relocate the memorial from its home in Guthrie Park to a spot in front of the Riverside Township Hall. “I was shocked,” said Riverside resident Tom Sisulak, who has been pushing for the rehabilitation of the memorial for the better part of a decade. The Landscape Advisory Commission’s recommendation will next be considered by the Riverside Preservation Commission, at its next meeting on Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. at the town hall, 27 Riverside Road. Representatives from the American Legion will also be there, said Sisulak, to argue against moving the memorial from a place he called “Riverside’s Arlington Cemetery.” “That sacred site should be there and never be moved,” Sisulak said. Cathy Maloney, chairwoman of the Landscape Advisory Commission, said in an email the commission felt the preferred option would increase the memorial’s visibility and integrate it more into the civic fabric, since the town hall serves as a polling place, the location of municipal and township meetings and other activities. The site is already accessible to those with disabilities (the present site is not), is more acces-

DIGGING OUT: In 2007, Tom Sisulak noticed that the large boulders, particularly the heavy World War II memorial (above) had sunk so far into the ground that some names of the fallen were underground. He’s gradually scraped away the dirt at the bottom of the boulder (below) to reveal the all of the names on the plaque and the information about the memorial’s 1948 dedication. sible to sources of electricity and water. In addition, according to Maloney, moving the memorial will prevent people using the memorial space inappropriately during other village events and will bring Guthrie Park more in line with the principles of Frederick Law Olmsted, who wanted parks free from structures that detract from sweeping, open views of the landscape. The other options considered by the Landscape Advisory Commission included

leaving the memorial and flagpole in their present locations and raising the memorial above ground and reorganizing the boulders. That plan also imagines a low shrub background to the memorial and the construction of a sidewalk leading to it. A second Guthrie Park option calls for building a sidewalk that would arc through the park from north to south, roughly connecting the train station and the township hall. Memorial boulders would be placed at various points along the walkway, each with its own foundation and space. Ornamental or shade trees would be planted along the pathway and, benches would sit opposite each memorial boulder. The Riverside Village Board will have to sign off on the final plan for any refurbished or relocated memorial, because of the cost involved. Though he’s not a veteran, Sisulak has played a large role in raising the profile of the local American Legion post, chiefly through the village’s annual Memorial Day program, whose organization he took over in 2008. The previous year, Sisulak had taken his 99-year-old father, a World War II veteran and member of Post 488, to the Memorial Day ceremony in Guthrie Park. About 15 people showed up, he said. Sisulak also noticed that the large boulder bearing the plaque containing names of Riverside servicemen killed during

World War II had sunk so much that many names were literally underground. He started excavating the area in front of the boulder that year, chipping away bit by bit for the past 11 years. In 2008, when the post commander, the late Scuffy Gross, told Sisulak that the Memorial Day ceremony was being discontinued, Sisulak took over the event. Gross was so impressed with the resurgence of the program and of interest in the American Legion post that he paid for Sisulak to join the Sons of the American Legion. Under Sisulak’s direction, the Riverside Memorial Day event now draws hundreds, and has grown so much that for the past two years it has been held in the parish center at St. Mary Church. The present commander of Riverside American Legion Post 488 is Joseph Topinka, son of the late Judy Baar Topinka. Retired from a career in the U.S. Army, it was Topinka who wrote the grant application for inclusion as one of the nation’s 100 official centennial memorials. This year is the 100th anniversary of the U.S. entry into World War I. “Joe is very energetic and has been instrumental in trying to find a way for the memorial to be higher up on the list [of village projects to complete],” Sisulak said. The post members hope the rehabilitation of the memorial can be completed in time for the Memorial Day 2018 ceremony.

Hughes leads RBHS in style Senior quarterback might be most exciting player in Metro Suburban Blue B BY MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

The announcement occurred during Week 2 of last season at 11:11 of the fourth quarter against Wauconda. “Now in the game, RB quarterback Hunter Hughes,” said Paul Kucera, Riverside-Brookfield High School’s public address announcer at football games. With the Bulldogs trailing 14-0, the 6-foot, 170-pound Hughes calmly ran on to the field. Hughes completed 13 of 19 passes for 142 yards; including multiple fourth-down conversions during a spirited rally that culminated with a 21-20 win for RBHS. In the fourth quarter, Hughes threw for a pair of touchdowns and added a TD run on three consecutive possessions. “Of course, coming into that game and getting the win helped my confidence,” Hughes said. “More importantly, that game really started the belief that a game is never out of reach. You should never put your head down because there’s always a way to work your way back into a game.” Since his debut against Wauconda, Hughes has taken over the quarterback job and led RBHS to an 11 wins in 15 games and a postseason appearance. Although the Bulldogs endured a 45-0 loss against Immaculate Conception on Friday, Sept. 29, that RBHS coach Brendan Curtin termed a ‘wake up call,’ the team is 5-1 and essentially playoff-bound. Hughes is having a terrific senior season. He has completed 75 of 101 passes (74 percent) for 994 yards, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also has rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on 35 carries. Hughes’ ability to make plays both in the pocket and on the move causes problems for opposing defenses. “Our coaches are always striving for me to get a good drop and get the ball out on time. That leads to successful plays,” Hughes said. “I always try to do that first. You have to throw out of the pocket but also be able to get out and move around.

I just let my instincts take over and make whatever teever play is best for the team.” During the Bulldogs’ 48-16 win over Aurora Central Catholic on Sept. 15, Hughes put on a show offensively. Trailing the host Chargers 8-7 after one quarter, Hughes threw five touchdowns in the second quarter to give RBHS a commanding 41-8 halftime lead. He completed 12 of 13 passes for 278 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception in his best statistical performance ever. However, the signal caller is quick to point out u ut that any success he’s enjoyed is courtesy of a team a am effort. “Our offensive line is the reason we are a good team,” ea am,” Hughes said. “They don’t get the attention they deserve. eserve. Jeremy Warren, Seth Keeling, Riley Shaw, Vaughn h Hilpp hn and Josh Ricchio do a great job blocking. “We also have receivers like Stefan Giminski, sk ki, Devin Moody, Zach Vaia and tight end Elliot Royer who o are great at making plays. They can turn a 5-yard play into o a 40-yard play. I think our running back Nicolas Del Nodall is one of the best in the state. We have a very balanced attack.” acck.” For all their star power on both sides of the ball, l,, the Bulldogs’ best entertainer is Hughes. His ability to improvise improvise on the field and make plays with both his arm and d feet leave fans on the edge of their seats. While his focus is about finishing the regular a season ar strong and enjoying an extended stay in the state e playoffs, Hughes has thought about the future. He would love ov ve to play college football. There is mutual interest as several ra al schools are recruiting him. “It would definitely be a lot of fun playing college olllege football,” Hughes said. “That’s something I dreamed about as a a kid. At the end of the day, it comes down to whatt situation is best for me.”

RBHS quarterback Hunter Hughes is 11-4 as a starter. His playmaking ability makes him one of the best players in the Metro Suburban Conference.

Bulldogs blanked by IC RBHS had their game against reigning Class 3A state champion Immaculate Conception circled on the calendar. Unfortunately, the visiting Knights made it a night to forget by dealing the Bulldogs a humbling 45-0 loss on Friday, Sept. 29. The much-hyped battle for Metro Suburban Blue supremacy never materialized. Hughes completed 9 of 15 passes for 54 yards and an interception. The Bulldogs struggled on the ground as well, rushing for 72 yards on 23 carries. Wide receiver Zachary Vaia had three catches for 31 yards. Defensively, Dominick Rowe forced a fumble and Chris Doherty had a fumble recovery. Conversely, the Knights (5-1, 2-0) dominated the line of scrimmage with over 600 yards of total offense. Third-string quarterback CJ West, Lazerick Eatman and Kyle Franklin powered a diversified and relentless attack for IC. RBHS (5-1, 1-1) takes on Fenton Friday, Oct. 6 in Bensonhurst. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

RBHS cross country primed for postseason Bulldogs’ goals include winning conference, regional and sectional titles

BY MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

Coming into the school year, Blair Jensen had never coached any high school team. Despite her lack of experience, the Riverside-Brookfield High School girls cross country coach has flourished, courtesy of a stacked roster. “The top seven are back from last year,” Jensen said. “The team is looking good so far this year due to the experience of running together for a second year. “Last year, the girls went to state and gained a lot of experience running in important races like regionals, sectionals and state. This helped them with the knowledge that they can be competitive in the big races.” With Jensen still settling in as a first-year coach, the learning curve has been accelerated due to the depth of the program. RBHS has 37 runners, with 13 returning from 2016. The program includes 13 seniors, eight juniors, five sophomores and 11 freshmen. Assistant coaches Danielle Delzotti and Armando Venegas have helped Jansen as well. “The girls have a good competitive nature

RBHS runner Hailey Jurgens, left, is a consistent performer who provides leadership for the Bulldogs. to them,” Jensen said. “They really like each other, but realize they need to train smart and hard. They truly encourage each other as individuals and as a team to improve.”

Junior Tara Janney leads the Bulldogs in best times this year. She’s a hard worker who continues to get better. At the state tournament last year, she had a personal re-

cord of 18 minutes, 31 seconds. Senior Hailey Jurgens and junior Nadia Kacmarz have traded off finishing second and third at races. “Hailey’s times are similar to last year which we very good,” Jensen said. “She is a very positive member of our team. Nadia is consistently running 20-30 seconds faster this year compared to last season.” Juniors Cora Lutes, Niela Callanan, Melissa Oliveira-Liz and senior Emma Forberg and have ran well all season. Sophomore Emma Fortman and freshmen Tess Bruno and Viktoria Hanson represent a bright future with the Bulldogs. With the postseason rapidly approaching, the Bulldogs have their goals in order: win conference, regional, sectional titles and post a top 10 finish at the state tournament. “Reaching our goals depends largely on our runners being healthy when the state series starts through November 4,” Jensen said. “All we can do is train smart and do our best. There is no controlling the other teams. I am impressed with the end of this team’s attitude toward training. They understand that smart, hard training is essential to a successful season.”

Friars’ Fakouri aces her regular season Fenwick girls tennis team is one to watch in postseason BY MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

Fenwick No. 1 singles player Haley Fakouri won her 19th and 20th matches against Loyola and Trinity Christian, respectively, last week. Those victories earned Fakouri the No. 2 seed at the upcoming Girls Catholic Athletic Conference meet. Fakouri will likely be seeded first at the Timothy Christian Sectional in the Class 1A state playoffs. “Haley is improved in several aspects since last year, including her serve and backhand,” Fenwick coach Gerard Sullivan said. “She has a lot of good wins to show for it. She had a good summer of competition, too, and is highly ranked among Illinois seniors (by tennisrecruiting.com). “Her goal of getting one more win and a medal at state is definitely on her mind.” The Friars’ only other individual event win against Loyola came in a 3-setter won by Brooke Lepore and Morgan Hosty at No. 3 doubles. The Ramblers defeated Fenwick 5-2 in team scoring. The Friars’ lone loss against Timothy Christian occurred at top doubles, where Timothy Christian played its top two players with the intention of a deep run at state. Fenwick topped the Trojans 5-1 in the final dual-meet score. And on Sept. 20, Fenwick tied crosstown rival OPRF 4-4. Last season, the Friars finished 8-2, third in the GCAC, won a sectional and placed 13th in the 1A state finals in 2016. Fakouri won six of eight matches to finish sixth at state. This year, Fenwick (12-7-1) enters the GCAC tournament

with a 2-3 conference record. The Friars hope to surpass St. Francis for a top-three finish of the six teams in the conference’s Red, or A, Division. In addition to Fakouri, the Friars have benefitted from several other players’ contributions. Junior Bella Burdi has held the No. 2 singles position well, “Bella Burdi is getting maximum experience out of the season for herself at #2 singles,” Sullivan said. “She has shown development in her game. Her goal is to win matches and gain confidence during the regular season to develop into a seeded and dangerous singles entry in the postseason.” Seniors Maria Krug and Anna Hendricks have played well at No. 1 doubles. “Both Maria and Anna medaled in conference and made it to the state qualifying round last year,” Fenwick coach Gerard Sullivan said. “They are motivated to repeat and improve on those results.” Junior Kelly Chapman and senior Shannon Hayes make up a strong second team in doubles. “Kelly and Shannon are playing very close to our No. 1 team now, which is great for both teams at practice,” Sullivan said. “Both teams have solid results and are gelling so they will very likely stick. Our two top doubles teams push each other and have had some good wins. They have much more potential as they improve their court positioning and attacking games.” Brooke Lepore and Morgan Hosty are at No. 3 doubles for Fenwick.

Fenwick senior Haley Fakouri has won 20 matches this season. She’s also a top contender to win the Calss 1A singles state title this year. The rest of the roster includes junior Colleen Stephany (No. 3 singles) and doubles teams Bridie Owens/Maggie Matthews and Emily Burda/Bridget Hartman.
