District 96 to host facilities forum Oct. 16

Officials want public input on space-planning options at schools

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Riverside Elementary School District 96 will hold a community engagement forum on Monday, Oct. 16 to get public input as the district methodically moves through a review of its facilities. The forum will be held in the auditorium at L.J. Hauser Junior High School, 65 Woodside Road in Riverside, and is scheduled to last from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Those planning to attend the forum are being asked to RSVP, by visiting online at www. district96.org/rsvp, though advance notice of attendance is not required.

The district has been engaged in the review for more than a year as officials try to decide how best to use their facilities, especially since it purchased a property last year on Repton Road next to Ames School.

Officials had planned to demolish the house this summer but held off because it would be more economical to demolish it at the same time any new construction is ready to begin, perhaps next summer.

That land could be used to build an addition to Ames School or add playground space at See FORUM on page 9

LOOKING BACK: Kit Ketchmark has been director of the Brookfield Historical Society since shortly after he joined the organization during the village’s centennial in 1993. Since that occasion, its membership has dwindled to just a handful of volunteers who try to manage the society’s collection and maintain its nearly 130-year-old home.

All eyes turned to Chicago in 1893. Just 22 years after a fire that destroyed more than three square miles of the city, includ-

ing the entire downtown and large swaths of the near North Side, the city opened the World’s Columbian Exhibition.

The world’s fair drew more than 20 million visitors and, during that decade, the city’s population would explode; the 1890s

saw Chicago’s population grow by more than 500,000 people.

Meanwhile, about 15 miles southwest of the city along the Chicago, Burlington & See BIRTHDAY on page 11

Brookfield unveils new comprehensive plan Community listening sessions this week, open house Oct. 24

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Although it’s not slated to be officially unveiled until later this month, a draft version of Brookfield’s new comprehensive plan has been posted online and is available for review.

The 200-plus page document can be viewed at www.ratiodesign.com/Brookfieldcp on the website of Ratio Design, the firm chosen to lead the planning process for the village. The plan is being funded by a Local Technical Assistance grant from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP).

The village will hold an open house to formally present the draft plan to residents on Tuesday, Oct. 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the council chamber of the Brookfield Village Hall, 8820 Brookfield Ave. But before that – this week – members of the public are invited to participate in four separate “Office Hours” listening sessions with the village’s planning staff, to get input on the draft comprehensive plan and how to fine tune it.

The first listening session was on Oct. 9.

The others will be on Wednesday, Oct. 11 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Brookfield Fire Station, 9001 Shields Ave.; on Wednesday, Oct. 11 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Irish Times, 8869 Burlington Ave.; and on Thursday, Oct. 12 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at 4201 Grove Ave. Anyone interested in attending one of the Office Hours sessions is asked to RSVP to Brookfield Village Planner Emily Egan at 708-485-1445 or eegan@brookfieldil.gov.

“The agenda for each of the sessions is helping people understand the planning process and know how they can use the plan in everyday life,” said Lesley Roth, se-

Fire damages Brookfield apartment building An apartment building in the 4400 block of Eberly Avenue, Brookfield, sustained damage after a fire broke out in a secondfloor apartment on Oct. 2 at about 7:40 p.m.

No one was injured, and the two occupants of the apartment evacuated before firefighters arrived.

Fire Chief Patrick Lenzi reported that the second-floor apartment on the southwest corner of the two-story building at 4423 Eberly Ave. was “fully involved” in

flames when units arrived at the scene.

Firefighters from Brookfield, LaGrange, Lyons, Western Springs, Pleasantview, LaGrange Park and Riverside assisted in battling the blaze, which appears to have originated in a bedroom. Other departments provided ambulances, investigators and operations assistance.

Investigators later determined that the fire started accidentally. According to a police report of the incident, the fire in-

vestigator stated that there were a “substantial number” of used cigarettes inside a container next to the bed and used cigarettes “everywhere” in the bedroom.

The tenants were allowed to retrieve items from the apartment prior to the unit being boarded up. Officials also contacted the Red Cross to provide any needed assistance. Firefighters cleared the scene at about 10:45 p.m.

LAUREN’S REAL ESTATE TIP OF THE WEEK

TURN UP THE LIGHTS! Homes sell year round, but winter listings present more challenges, especially as it gets dark outside much earlier. For late afternoon and evening showings, turn up the lights, and add additional lighting where needed. Outside lighting is also very beneficial. Buyers don’t like walking into a dark house, so keep it bright!

For more ideas on how to sell your home, contact Lauren Cody, for a complimentary consultation.

WOMEN’S CLUB from page 4 And the new members were full of ideas for new activities. Plans are being made to produce and sell T-shirts. There was also talk of mentoring girls, getting involved in anti-bullying efforts and perhaps holding a manners class for girls and boys.

“I love the idea of getting women together and doing things for the community,” Black said.

Ann Heinl, 44, was interested in joining the club 11 years ago when she moved to

Brookfield. But the timing of the 1:00 p.m. meetings didn’t work for the stay at home mom of 4.

“I wanted to do this a decade ago, but I always had a kid who napped when they met,” said Heinl, who is very interested in the history of Brookfield.

So when her friend Maria Kaplan told her about the club being in danger of shutting down and the effort to save it, Heinl jumped at the chance to join.

Longtime members Gauthier, Bazata, Carol Kasnicka, and Joi Zuccarello are happy to help the new members and remain part of the club.

“It’s good to keep it going,” Gauthier said.

Gang-related spat spills over into Riverside Police recover handgun after hours-long search; three charged

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Police spent about six hours combing the bank of the Des Plaines River just west of the Barrypoint Road bridge in Riverside on Oct. 4 as they searched for a handgun thrown there by one of three street gang members who got into a physical altercation on the bridge that afternoon.

Using three K-9 units – from Brookfield Zoo, the Cook County Sheriff ’s Police and the Elmhurst Police Department – Riverside police were able to locate the fully loaded Glock 17 handgun at about 7 p.m. in a rocky, wooded area about 300 feet west of the bridge.

Police also apprehended and have charged all three men involved in the incident. Alijandro M. Mosqueda, 21 of Lockport, and Ruben Fallas Sapaula, 21, of Stickney were charged with mob action and reckless conduct.

Amir J. Johnson, 21, of Lyons, was charged with felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. He was convicted in connection with a 2016 auto theft case out of Oak Park. He and another man were charged with possession of the stolen vehicle by Riverside police in March 2016 in that case.

The incident on Oct. 4 began near the in-

ALIJANDRO M. MOSQUEDA

RUBEN FALLAS SAPAULA

tersection of Joliet and Ogden avenues just after 1 p.m., according to Police Chief Thomas Weitzel.

According to Weitzel, Johnson had just purchased two clips of handgun ammunition on the street from an unidentified person near the Lyons Public Library and was riding a bicycle toward Ogden Avenue when he encountered Mosqueda and Sapaula, who were in a vehicle.

The parties knew each other, said Weitzel, and all of them are documented gang members. Weitzel said the three men were involved in a prior altercation, and when Mosqueda and Sapaula saw Johnson, they drove after

him, physically confronting him on the bridge.

Police received several 911 calls from witnesses about a disturbance, believing it might be a robbery, because two men looked to be trying to steal a bicycle from AMIR J. JOHNSON the third man.

During the confrontation said Weitzel, Mosqueda and Sapaula wrestled Johnson’s bike from him and threw it over the side of the bridge into the river.

Johnson reportedly responded by pulling a handgun from his backpack, pointing it at Mosqueda and Sapaula and threatening to shoot them. When the two men wouldn’t back off, Johnson reportedly began running from them.

Near the intersection of Barrypoint and Fairbank, Johnson was invited into a passing vehicle, whose driver believed Johnson was the victim of a crime and was trying to get away from his attackers.

When the Good Samaritan told Johnson

he’d drive him to the police station, Johnson reportedly told the driver to stop, jumped out of the car, threw the gun toward the river and then ran back east toward the bridge. Police apprehended Johnson just east of the bridge.

Another officer detained Mosqueda and Sapaula in their vehicle on Fairbank Road west of the bridge.

While looking for the handgun, police cordoned off a large section of the wooded area west of the bridge until after 7 p.m. and obtained help from the Cook County Department of Homeland Security search team, which also brought in flood lights to assist after dark.

“That area is traveled by families and kids, and we didn’t want to leave the gun out there,” said Weitzel, who stated that several witnesses reported that Johnson had displayed the weapon.

Police also fished out Johnson’s bike from shallow water near the bridge. While the handgun has not been reported stolen, said Weitzel, Johnson reportedly admitted stealing it from another gang member, who likely did not want to report the gun stolen.

Riverside police have now enlisted the help of the federal ATF agency to trace the gun to its original owner.

Brookfield officials have laid out plans for its 2018 street improvement project, the third year of an effort funded by $22 million in bonds approved by voters in 2016. By the end of the project the village will have reconstructed or resurfaced almost 40 percent of its residential side streets.

As the 2017 road construction season wraps up, Village Engineer Derek Treichel on Sept. 25 laid out for members of the village board what streets would be targeted for improvement next year.

About 2.5 miles of roadway will be improved using about $5.8 million in bond proceeds next year. That will bring the total to about 10.5 miles of improved roadway since 2016. The village in 2017 tackled the worst streets in the village.

In 2016, Brookfield sold $9.3 million in bonds to fund the first three years of improvements, and officials expect a second bond issuance in 2018, of between $6 million and $7 million, which will bring the total amount of bonds sold to about $16 million.

That issuance will pay for a portion of the 2018 improvements as well as improvements in 2019 and 2020. The village likely will issue the balance of the $22 million approved by voters in 2020.

Streets slated for improvement next year include: ■ Cleveland Avenue from Grand Boulevard to 31st Street ■ Jackson Avenue from Cleveland to Grand ■ Rosemear Avenue from Brookfield Avenue to Washington ■ Vernon Avenue, from Ogden to Burlington ■ Lincoln Avenue, from Madison to Maple ■ McCormick Avenue, from Southview to Riverside Drive ■ Riverside Drive, from Arden to Hollywood ■ Parkview Avenue, from Arden to the alley west of Rosemear ■ Windemere Avenue, from Vernon to Prairie ■ Elm Avenue, from Shields to Ogden ■ Elm Avenue, from Brookfield Avenue to Fairview ■ Park Avenue from Brookfield Avenue to Grand Most of the work on those streets will involve resurfacing the pavement.

IN THE WORKS: Brookfield’s 2018 street improvement program will target about 2.5 miles of roadway at an estimated cost of $5.8 million. Once next year’s project is complete, the village will have resurfaced more than 10 miles of side streets since 2016. lion in sewer improvements; that work will be funded through reserves in the village’s water fund.

Parkview Avenue from Arden to the alley west of Rosemear will be completely reconstructed, including new curb and gutters, something the street presently lacks.

The work will also include adding handicapped accessible sidewalk ramps at intersections, replacing deteriorating sections of curb and gutter, replacing driveway aprons disturbed by the construction and restoring parkways disturbed by construction.

In addition, bond funds will be used to improve the main parking lot (off Elm at Congress Park Avenue) at Ehlert Park.

Work will include not only resurfacing the lot, but the installation of drainage structures, storm sewer, storm water storage

structures, curbs, gutters and sidewalk.

One other section of roadway to be improved in 2018 is Elm Avenue, from 31st Street to Monroe Avenue. That improvement, which includes reconstruction of the pavement, replacing sections of deteriorated sewer and drainage structures, installing handicapped-accessible sidewalk ramps, replacing sections of curb and gutter and driveway aprons affected by construction, is being funded largely through a federal Community Development Block Grant.

The work to improve the stretch of Elm Avenue, including both design and construction, is expected to cost about $887,000.

Both the bond-funded and grant-funded work will go out for bidding in early 2018, with work expected to start in the spring.

Ames or both. The space could also be used for a building to house administrators.

The school board has established a facilities advisory committee, which includes two school board members, Lynda Murphy and Rich Regan, some district officials and staff and community members.

The district has also posted on its website a survey to gather community input.

The survey can be accessed by clicking the “District 96 Master Facility Planning Process” link on the home page of the district’s website at www.district96.org.

More outdoor play areas and green space are priorities for many in the district. Freeing up more classroom space is also a goal. The district’s schools are more crowded than usual this year. Two class sections were added at Central School and one at Ames School this year.

How best to maximize the district’s existing space is something district officials have been pondering. One idea is to move the district’s administrative team out of its current location at the Central School/ Hauser campus. That would open up more space for classrooms for those schools.

From 2008 to 2013, the district’s administrative offices were located at the former Mater Christi School in North Riverside, a move that created its own issues. Some didn’t like that the administrative headquarters was located outside the school district, and some complained that the superintendent seemed isolated and invisible at Mater Christi.

A few years ago the school board considered trying to buy two homes on Woodside Road across from Hauser/Central to possibly relocate administrators, but that never occurred.

The district has hired a demographer to study future enrollment trends. Projections call for the district’s enrollment to remain fairly steady in the foreseeable future.

Last summer, the district’s architectural firm completed a thorough review of the district’s five schools and presented a detailed evaluation and alternatives for the administrators and the school board to consider.

District officials are looking forward to hearing from community members.

“There are a lot of people in the community who have knowledge about the buildings and maybe some of the things we could improve,” said Jeff Miller, the president of the District 96 Board of Education.

“We’ve talked a lot about space constraints, we’ve talked a lot about outdoor learning areas and outdoor playgrounds.

I think the idea is just to engage the largest set of people as possible to solicit ideas and suggestions for us to think about.”

Woman says men raped her after bar meetup A 23-year-old Chicago woman reported that she was sexually assaulted in Cicero by two men she met at a Brookfield tavern on Oct. 1 or 2, according to Brookfield police.

Officers were called to University of Illinois Hospital on the afternoon of Oct. 5, three days after the alleged assault. The woman told police she’d been assaulted between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m. on Oct. 2 after drinking alcohol at a Brookfield bar.

The woman told police she met one of the men through an online dating app.

They met at the bar earlier that night and had one drink before driving back to the man’s Cicero home and dropping off her car there. The two then reportedly returned to the bar where they met up with a second man.

After drinking more alcohol, the three went back to the Cicero home where the men allegedly forced the woman into having sex with them. She told police she waited to go to the hospital, because the men reportedly sent her phone threats, including a voicemail in which one of the men allegedly threatened to tell police she raped them.

Brookfield police turned the case over to Cicero police, who continue to investigate the matter.

Attempted break-ins ■A

resident of the 3700 block of Morton Avenue, Brookfield, contacted police on Oct. 4 to report that someone tried to gain entry to his garage and home at about 8:30 a.m.

The motion-activated security camera system at the home sent an alert to the man’s cellphone, which showed a man enter his yard and attempt to open the locked garage service door by turning the handle. The man is then seen trying to open the locked rear storm door of the home. The man is then seen leaving the area northbound.

■ A resident of an apartment building on East Avenue in Riverside contacted police on Oct. 5 to report that someone apparently had tried to pry open the door to her apartment the previous day.

The woman stated that she left her apartment at about noon on Oct. 4 and returned at 7:30 p.m. Upon her return, she noticed damage to the front door and the deadbolt lock. No entry was made to the apartment, police said.

Stolen signs found On Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, a pair of River-

side residents living in the north central part of the village called police to report that several “No Gambling” lawn signs had been stolen from their front yards.

On the morning of Oct. 2, a resident of the 400 block of Uvedale Court, not far from where the missing signs were reported, informed police that several yard signs had been left on her property.

An officer went to the home and recovered six “No Gambling” signs and two “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” signs, reunited five of the gambling-related signs with the people who had theirs taken.

Car in the woods Riverside police said a 66-year-old Stickney woman who reportedly drove her 2007 Buick SUV about 100 feet into the woods in the vicinity of Ogden Avenue and Miller Road was “disoriented” but did not appear to be intoxicated.

A passing motorist flagged down a police officer, indicating where the vehicle had ended up. The officer located the vehicle and attempted to get the driver to roll down the window, but she was disoriented. The officer opened the driver’s side door, and determined the driver wasn’t injured.

Asked what happened, the woman reportedly told the officer “she was at work, waiting to go in.” Paramedics transported the woman to MacNeal Hospital for evaluation.

DUI crash Brookfield police charged a 24-year-old Cincinnati man with driving under the influence of alcohol after he allegedly crashed his 2017 Toyota 4-Runner into a car parked in the 3100 block of Prairie Avenue on Oct. 8 at about 4:50 a.m.

Police reported finding the driver passed out at the wheel of the vehicle when they arrived. After police woke him up, they administered a portable breath test, which indicated the driver’s bloodalcohol content was .163, or more than twice the legal limit of .08.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Oct. 2-Oct. 8, 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.

BIRTHDAY

‘You need people’ from page 1 Quincy Railroad, a few hundred people living in a new real estate subdivision called Grossdale – named after its real estate speculator founder Samuel Eberly Gross – voted in 1893 to incorporate as a village.

That village, whose name would be changed by popular vote to Brookfield in 1905, celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2018.

Plans for that celebration are just getting started, led at this point by village officials.

Certainly, the celebrations aren’t likely to rival the village’s centennial in 1993 or its 75th anniversary in 1968, both of which included elaborate pageants. In 1993, a committee of volunteers compiled and published a history book.

Surely, some part of the celebration will revolve around the Grossdale Station, the village’s lone national landmark structure, erected in 1889, four years before Grossdale became an official village.

The train station was one of the first two buildings constructed for S.E. Gross’ new real estate venture – the other, the Grossdale Pavilion at the corner of Brookfield and Prairie avenues burned to the ground in 1897.

Two other Victorian-era train stations were also built at the Hollywood and Congress Park stops on the rail line. Both were demolished. The Grossdale Station survived through the efforts of the Brookfield Historical Society, formed for the express purpose of saving the building.

In April 1981, the station was moved to its present location at the corner of Brookfield and Forest avenues. The Brookfield Historical Society had accomplished the mission it was created to accomplish.

During its glory years, the society boasted a couple hundred members and it hosted an annual catered dinner fundraiser.

The society held regular meetings at the village hall.

Then came the work of running the museum and curating a collection of items.

That was a job no one was really prepared to do. Society members aged, died and moved away. And there were factions within the society, those interested primarily in the building and others in the museum end of things.

11

In 1993, local landscaping contractor Kit Ketchmark joined the society and within a year was given the keys to the Grossdale Station. He’s been the society’s director since that time, almost 25 years.

Ketchmark, who later was elected village trustee and serves now as the village’s president, says there are just a handful of active members, three or four at most, of the historical society.

“The society had the rally to save the station, without thinking we have to keep the history of Brookfield going for the next 100 years,” Ketchmark said. “Now it’s the museum and archives. You need people interested in that.

Opinion THE LANDMARK VIEW

It takes a village

T

hat the Grossdale Station, the only structure in the village that’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, exists today is a minor miracle.

It was moved to its present location back in 1981, long enough ago that we’d be willing to bet a large majority of people living in the village right now never saw the station in its former home, south of the tracks and slightly east of the Prairie Avenue depot, which took its place.

In 2014, the late Chris Stach wrote an article in this paper about that move. It was in that year the station, one of the first two buildings constructed in the fledgling real estate subdivision of Grossdale, celebrated its 125th birthday.

You can find it online by typing the headline (“Grossdale Station marks 125 years”) into the search feature at www.

RBLandmark.com.

Next year, the village of Brookfield, which was incorporated in 1893 (the name change came in 1905), will celebrate its 125th birthday. Plans are being outlined as of this writing, by village officials.

We’re sure there will be an appropriate party marking the occasion. The July 4 parade might be an event you’ll want to circle on your calendar. Just a guess.

But after the party, what happens to Grossdale Station, which has become the repository of the village’s history?

The Brookfield Historical Society formed back in the late 1970s as a direct response to the threat of Grossdale Station’s demolition. The grassroots effort did just that, but as the years passed, the core membership of the society — those involved in saving the station — aged or moved.

Now the Brookfield Historical Society only has a handful of active members. Kit Ketchmark has been director of the society since the mid-1990s. Because he’s also been involved in village government since 2001, and president of the village since 2013, we get the feeling that many in Brookfield may believe the historical society and village government are somehow connected.

But apart from a grant to restore the exterior of the station, which the village supported more than a decade ago, the village really doesn’t have any involvement in the society or the maintenance of the soon-to-be 129-year-old station.

Maybe you didn’t know much about the society or that it has so few members or even what’s inside the building — it hasn’t been open to the public for more than a year.

But Grossdale Station is the history of Brookfield. It’s the village’s time capsule, and it needs the help of volunteers, maybe someone who has some knowledge of how museums ought to work, how historic photos and other artifacts should be handled and stored, or someone with an interest in the preservation of historic buildings.

History doesn’t write itself; someone has to be interested enough to do it. In the past, that was people like Stella Abrams and Chris Stach, now both gone, and Joe Stejskal, who remains the last self-styled historian of the village.

Brookfield has a vibrant history and a showcase of a building in which to display it. Here’s hoping the village’s 125th anniversary stirs some local pride in that history and ushers in a new, active era for the Brookfield Historical Society.

North Riverside Library set for fall gala

S

hhhh! Quiet! You are in the library! That’s how it used to be when you went to library. We went to check out books, look up information, have stories read to us, maybe read a magazine and acquaint ourselves with the Dewey Decimal System. Kids ask your parents about that.

These days when we go to the library, we can still do most of the above mentioned things, but we can also do a whole lot more. In today’s, library one can enter a world of technology, research with the aid of computers and a whole new world to be visited.

North Riverside’s library, located at 2400 Desplaines Ave., is a lovely building conducive to all a library should be, including a pleasant atmosphere -- much different from the storefront library they had across the street from today’s building. That building wasn’t big enough to house much.

All libraries have a staff of well-trained people, but there are often groups of people behind the scenes who help supplement those items not covered by budget. In North Riverside, that’s the job of the North Riverside Library Foundation, a nonprofit organization that seeks to bring the community together while supporting the library’s needs. The organization has done that through fundraising efforts, and this year the group will be holding its 2nd Annual Autumn Gala.

The gala will be held Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Riverside Golf Club, 2520 Desplaines Ave., just a block south of the library in North Riverside starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $75 per person and include one drink (followed by a cash bar), a buffet dinner and entertainment featuring the music of Char Luporini, Spencer Keyes and Chuck Fuscone.

The foundation’s gala includes a silent auction featuring a travel package, gift baskets, a spa package and other donated items. Tickets may be purchased at the library or through www.eventbrite.com. Just type “North Riverside Library Foundation” into the search field on the website’s home page and click the link.

Last year’s proceeds provided funding for technology and technology access. They recently purchased two children’s computers, a multifunction scanner and online magazine subscriptions.

Funds raised from this year’s gala will continue to enhance the technology programs at the library and other things on the North Riverside Library’s wish list.

Take the time to support and visit your local library; see how it has changed and improved over the years. Remember, libraries aren’t just for books anymore.

For more information about the gala or the North Riverside Public Library call 708-447-0526. You can talk now, only softly, please.

Thanks to a kind stranger Beware license renewals at emissions test

On Sunday morning, Oct. 1, I attempted to mail letters via the Riverside Post Office drive-through. Making too wide of a turn into the parking lot, I drove over the median (island with grass and trees) and damaged my car.

A kind gentleman, who had just left Riverside Foods, saw my accident and immediately walked over to my car. He was so kind, pleasant, comforting and assuring. Needless to say he eased my anxieties. He even gave me a hug.

I did not ask his name, but want to thank him for his willingness to assist me. Hopefully, he’ll see my letter and know of my appreciation for his random act of kindness.

Barbara E. Silvestri North Riverside

We have just returned from having our car pass its emissions test at the Bedford Park location.

Please be extra careful in following the many signs regarding car license renewals, which may be applied for at the same location after your car has passed the test. So convenient.

However, be aware that because the test station is not a state of Illinois facility, you will be charged an extra fee for this “convenience.” I our case, it was $7.50 more than the state’s $101 fee.

Apparently, we missed the small print, nor did any Illinois Air Team member happen to mention the cost of this service before we handed over the credit card.

Oak Park Arms: Maintaining Its Original Charm

I

n 1922, Oak Park was a young suburb with an elegant hotel/apartment building - the Oak Park Arms, and it was the epitome of style and sophistication. The Arms was always busy with meetings of all kinds, galas and wedding receptions.

By the 1970’s, however, hotel chains were springing up everywhere. The Oak Park Arms’ future was in doubt, until it was purchased by two friends who wanted to create active retirement living in a community that was full of life, service and spirit.

Today the Oak Park Arms is still owned by those two friends who remain involved and committed to excellence. It is flourishing as an independent living or an assisted living retirement community offering residents as full a life as they wish.

The word “choices” applies to everything. There is an abundance of appealing options for dining, learning, fitness, care and camaraderie. Residents enjoy an unbeatable combination of value, flexibility, life enrichment and fully integrated senior services. With more

than 300 events a month, residents can create a day as exciting – or as relaxing – as they wish.

Books are delivered from the renowned Oak Park Library. Complementary transportation is available to appointments, the grocery store and the shopping mall. Within the Arms is an elegant dining room, ballroom, meeting rooms, barbershop, hair salon, doctors’ offices and a wonderful place for a massage.

The Arms shares space with the Lifelong Learning Center (the local Senior Center), and more than ten other providers of senior-centered care are within the Arms.

There are assisted living services if and when they are needed. Short term or respite stays are popular. The Adult Day Care program invites participants to spend their daytime hours at The Arms and then return home in the evenings.

Winner of multiple awards, the Oak Park Arms has maintained its original charm.

It is an affable and affordable home for older adults and a great resource to Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park and surrounding suburbs.

Panton Eye Center Doctors Provide Latest Eye Care

T

he Panton Eye Center has provided state-of-the-art eye care for over fifty years. Board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists offer comprehensive optical, medical, and surgical care including five treatment lasers.

John H. Panton, M.D., founder, comments on the advances made during his career: “Cataract was once a blinding disease. Surgery required a lengthy hospitalization and patients wore thick spectacles post-operatively. That is a thing of the past. Today’s no-shot cataract surgery allows the restoration of normal vision for nearly everyone. What we now consider routine was unimaginable when I began!”

Peter J. Panton, M.D., senior surgeon, describes the surgical elimination of glasses or refractive surgery: “The refractive components of the eye are the cornea (in the front of the eye) and the lens (inside the eye). There are two major refractive procedures: (1) LASIK is the use of a laser to reshape the cornea; (2) Refractive Cataract Surgery is the combina-

tion of a bifocal implant with no-shot cataract surgery. For both our LASIK patients and our Refractive Cataract Surgery patients, life without glasses is the anticipated outcome.”

Robert W. Panton, M.D., fellowship-trained corneal surgeon, defines ALL LASER LASIK: “ALL LASER LASIK is the combination of two lasers to correct vision. The first makes a thin flap of cornea which is gently folded back.

The second reshapes the cornea. The flap is repositioned without the need for stitches.

Prior to surgery, the patient is able to see only the big-E; the morning after ALL LASER LASIK, the patient drives himself for his follow-up exam.”

Elizabeth Panton Karkazis, O.D. explains how contact lenses complement refractive surgery in a comprehensive practice: “Teenagers are too young for LASIK and not every adult is a suitable candidate for LASIK. When surgery is not an option, contact lenses remain a valuable tool to satisfy a patient’s optical needs.”

Dr. Peter Panton Discusses Cataract Surgery & Bifocal Implants Dr. Panton, what is a cataract and how is it treated?

A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Neither drops nor pills can prevent or cure a cataract. The only treatment for a cataract is its surgical removal and its replacement with a clear artificial lens or intraocular lens implant (IOL).

Dr. Peter J. Panton, a graduate of the Brown University School of Medicine, is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and former president of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society.

Call to schedule your Bifocal Implant Evaluation

Panton Eye Center 7740 North Avenue Elmwood Park, IL

708-452-7200 WWW.PANTONEYE.COM

What is the difference between a monofocal implant and a bifocal implant?

In the past, the IOL corrected distance vision only; this is called a monofocal implant. Patients who undergo cataract surgery with a monofocal implant still need reading glasses. Recent advances incorporate a bifocal into the IOL. The bifocal implant allows patients to read without glasses, drive without glasses, and do virtually all of their activities without glasses.

What will I experience during cataract surgery with a bifocal implant?

Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using eye drops to numb your eye; no shots are necessary. The operation takes approximately 20 minutes after which you will rest for a short time before going home. Post-operatively, you will be asked to instill eye drops for a few weeks after surgery. You will have 90% of you vision back within one day and your eye will be completely healed within two weeks.

How do I find out if bifocal implants are right for me?

While most cataract patients are candidates for this technology, it is best to seek consultation with an ophthalmologist with experience in bifocal implants. If you want to reduce your dependence on glasses after cataract surgery, call Dr. Panton at 708-452-7200 to schedule an appointment.

Bulldogs’ teamwork triggers success Senior-laden RBHS volleyball team winning with chemistry, effort

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

The Riverside-Brookfield High School girls volleyball team had one of the greatest seasons in program history in 2016. Led by 6-foot-8 outside hitter Dana Rettke and fellow senior stars Gia Cinkay, Maria Gonzales and Maggie Shereck, the Bulldogs advanced to a supersectional and won 32 of 40 matches.

Considering Rettke (who is playing volleyball at Wisconsin), Cinkay and Gonzales have moved on, the Bulldogs have put together a solid season at 15-11 with a 7-3 record in the Metro Suburban Conference.

“The adjustment to losing Dana Rettke, Gia Cinkay and Maria Gonzales, who were all three-year starters, plus Maggie Shereck has been tough,” RBHS coach Dan Bonarigo said. “That group was not only talented, but they were great leaders.”

The Bulldogs have picked up their play

lately as the regular season draws to a close.

After splitting its first 16 games, RBHS has gone 7-3 and remains in contention for a conference title.

“The season has been a bit of a roller coaster. We have played very well at times and other times haven’t gone so well,” Bonarigo said. “There have been a few matches that have seen us losing a set very badly, but then winning the next set and then that match.

Overall, we have won a number of close matches and have gone two or three very tight sets against some quality teams.”

While it’s impossible to replace a player like Rettke, the Bulldogs have found a measure of success by committee.

“The returnees this year were a significant part of the team last year,” Bonarigo said. “This year, they have been working hard to step into a new role of leadership.”

A talented group of seniors has led the way through 26 games, including libero/defensive specialist Olivia Louthen (76 digs),

Ruth Hruska-Kelley, a transfer student from Timothy Christian, has been a tremendous addition to the team. She has 167 kills and 90 digs as an outside hitter.

Junior setter Leah Rettke, Dana’s younger sister, is also a top player for the Bulldogs.

Through 61 sets players this season, she has 394 assists, 171 digs, 48 kills and 22 aces.

RBHS girls golf sends three to sectional Keen, Hughes and Larsen show progress for Bulldogs this season

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

Although the Riverside-Brookfield High School girls golf team didn’t advance to a Class 2A sectional, three Bulldogs qualified individually.

Freshman Kiki Keen shot a team-best 102 and teammates Isabel Hughes and Grace Larsen each carded a 106. All three return next season as well.

The Bulldogs (428) took sixth out of a seven-team field.

Fenwick (358) won the St. Ignatius Regional, followed by Payton (364) and the host Wolfpack (398).

RBHS prepared well for the postseason with three dualmatch wins to close out the regular season. In their regularseason finale, the Bulldogs defeated Willowbrook 205-237.

Keen carded a season-best 48 and the team’s total of 205 represented a 35-stroke drop from the first match of the season.

Along with Keen, Hughes and Lawson, seniors Delaney Bryant and Fiona Bushe and freshman Eva Funaki fill out the varsity roster for coach Mark Gouwens.

Fenwick girls golf The Friars’ score of 358 topped runner-up Payton by six strokes to win the Class 2A St. Ignatius Regional. Senior Stephanie Mroz led Fenwick with a score of 73 to earn medalist honors. Alexis Attard (92), Natalie Mortell (95), Taylor Holquist (98), Olivia Morrissey (101) and Brigid O’Hara (121) also contributed for Fenwick.

Marie Miller, Samantha Shalgos, Grace Bennett and Gabriella Kiel have provided depth this season.

Fenwick tuned up for the postseason with a second-place showing at the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference tourney at the Green Garden Golf Club in Frankfort. With a score of 342, the Friars trailed only Loyola in a 12-team field. GCAC All-Conference picks Mroz (third place, 2-over 73), Mortell) 9th place, 84) and Attard (12th place) powered Fenwick to its runner-up finish.

Fenwick has benefited from excellent play at the top of lineup.

“Stephanie Mroz is a senior who is playing some of her best golf,” Fenwick coach Kitty Delany said. “She has an average 18-hole score of 75 and an average 38 score over

Catholic and Fenton last week, RBHS excelled with its customary team effort. Hruska-Kelley had 16 kills while junior Alyssa Hart and Leah Rettke added six and five kills, respectively, against ACC. Rettke also led in digs with 22, followed by senior Maya Diaz who finished with 16.

“I am very proud of the way this team has fought through some adversity with injuries and changing lineups and increased expectations,” Bonarigo said. “We are currently 7-3 and sitting second in our division in conference with a chance to win a conference championship.

“Fellow senior Natalie Mortell has steadily improved her scoring. Alexis Attard is a big hitter. She’s also improved her short game this season, which has improver her scoring as well.”

LTHS boys golf The Lions’ Mike Kozub was the medalist with a score of 66 at the Payton Regional. Fellow junior Nick Panos carded a 70, while seniors Jack Suedbeck and Patrick Akaniroj each shot a 76. Sophomore Max Rohrohr (77) and Pat Johnson (81) also contributed for the sectional champion Lions, who shot a season-low 288.

The Lions advanced to the New Trier Sectional hosted by Winnetka Golf Club. Competition will be tough as the Lions face regional champs Loyola, Maine South and Fenwick.

LTHS closed the regular season with a third-place finish at the Dundee-Crown tourney as Kozub carded a 75, Suedbeck 77, Nick Panes 78 and Akaniroj 78.

The Lions edged their rival Hinsdale Central by 19 strokes.

Led by Kozubs, who shot a 61 and Panos (72), the Lions won their conference.

RBHS boys golf Junior Chris Robertson shot an 80 at the Class 3A Payton Regional last week. The Bulldogs finished with a score of 368.

The threefold purpose of the Bulldog Wrestling Club is to encourage area youth to have fun, learn to wrestle and become a better athlete.

In only its second season, the BWC has approximately 60 wrestlers who can participate in one of two levels, club or team. Club level focuses on the aforementioned three staples of the program, while team level incorporates a higher level of competition and intensity.

A youth wrestling club previously existed but it become too competitive and tournament-oriented.

That’s when Tom Lupfer and a handful of other dads convened to discuss the recreation of Junior Bulldogs wrestlers with different points of emphasis.

“There was a club before Bulldog Wrestling Club,” Lupfer said. “It was a very good club but reached some hard times.

The focus was on making it more of a highly competitive team club that competed in tournaments. It really didn’t work and the number of wrestlers went down.

“A couple of us dads got together and decided to get the club back to its roots, which meant wrestling for fun and overall development for athletes.”

The game plan is working.

And as a feeder program for RBHS wrestling, some of the youth wrestlers at BWC could be future Bulldog grapplers at the high school level.

“It’s important to have kids who want to have fun and learn how to wrestle,” Lupfer said. “That’s how you build a program. You don’t build it with superstars; you build it with depth.”

Lupfer has a good relationship with RBHS second-year wrestling head coach Nick Curby. In fact, he wrestled at Lyons Township High School where Curby’s dad coached him.

Boyd was the wrestling head coach at RBHS in 2014-2015,” Lupfer said. “He was a great help and really appealed to the kids.

“Then, RB had a changeover and Nick became the varsity head coach. I was very happy that Nick was picked for the position because he really believes in what we’re trying to build with our program.”

In his first season at RBHS last season, Curby enjoyed a fine debut. Talented seniors like Josh Contreras, Julian Blanco, Joey Swallow and Chris Colvin fostered a smooth transition from Boyd to Curby.

“I let our wrestlers know I came to RB to win,” Curby said.

“We’re not taking any steps backward.”

The Bulldog Wrestling Club consists of mostly Riverside and Brookfield and some North Riverside kids K thru 8th grade. Attempting to create a high school- like season, BWC takes part in 7-8 tournaments a year.

The allure of the program is its multiple benefits. Lupfer believes BWC offers a fun, supportive environment for kids to learn about wrestling.

“A baseball player, soccer player or any kind of athlete can get better through our program,” Lupfer said. “Spending

time in the weight room can help any athlete’s development.”

BWC teaches wrestling fundamentals but also focuses on discipline, character building, and teamwork. The balance, strength, agility and conditioning of wrestling will help kids excel at every other sport they want to play.

Both boys and girls are welcome to join the Bulldogs Wrestling Club. One of the club’s top champions is Danea Vargas.

“It’s a great sport for all kids, but the girls are so much better than the boys at a young age,” Lupfer said. “They learn technique perfectly and dominate.”

The upcoming season begins Tuesday, Nov. 7 and the last practice will be held on Thursday, Feb. 22.

BWC practices are held in the RBHS wrestling room on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:00 pm to 7:45pm. There will be an additional Wednesday practice for team members on the Wednesdays before competitions.

Thanks to a grant from Riverside Township, the Bulldog Wrestling Club is able to offer a limited amount of scholarships to those needing financial assistance. Scholarships waive the annual fee and covers out-of-pocket expenses for things like gear and tournament fees.
